Biden is the bridge to war
Since its establishment, the World Zionist Organization has been working tirelessly to strengthen the strength and unity of the Jewish people.
Human rights culture has mainstreamed Hamas lies.
When you turn the Holocaust into a generic moral lesson you rob it of its particular evil and you rob the victims of their own narratives.

Allowing Hamas to survive will kill the dream of peace.
Dalia Mogahed, who holds the title of “antibigotry fellow” at Boston University, has defended the mass murder and rapes by Hamas on Oct. 7 as “lawful resistance.”
Sinwar and Arafat’s militant endeavors dragged Israel into bloody conflicts, exacting a heavy toll on lives lost on both sides.
If the government remains politically stable, if the military continues its brilliant fight in Gaza and if U.S. opinion remains supportive, Jerusalem can flip Hamas’s machinations on its head.
The Oct. 7 atrocities produced a profound sense of disorientation for progressives because the Palestinian people whose cause they had promoted as the acme of conscience and enlightenment turned out to be savages.
What is crucial for us to consider is why so many otherwise reasonable fellow Jews harbor such resentment against the charedi community.

Sinwar hopes his Jihad fever will spread to the West Bank
Sinwar is deliberately stalling the talks to incite conflict during the month of Ramadan.
Unraveling the Surprising Attack on Israel
By Bassam Tawil
Hamas... even published an article entitled, "Ramadan – The Month of Jihad, Fighting, and Victory over the Enemies."
For the past 40 years, the EEC/EU, which wants to get rid of Israel at all costs, has invented a false people, the Palestinians, devoid of national particularisms and history, artificially constructed as a look-alike to Israel, even though they claim to follow the Koran, embody jihad against unbelief and adhere to Nazism.
Hamas will try every way to thwart the plan
The charge that Jews are not a people or a religious community because they do not have a common language, history or ancestry is an attempt to deny them the right to self-determination and their own state.
Biden Sending 1,000 US Troops to Bring Aid to Gazans, 0 to Retrieve Hostages
The Cure for Biden's Disastrous Qatar Policy
By Sara Lehmann
Amnesty International is pardoning terrorists for the brutal murder, rape and hostage-taking of Jews. Worse, they are willfully conflating the perpetrators with the victims.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that the PA was supposed to have been fighting terrorism since it was created back in the 1990s by the Oslo Accords – but it never has done the job.
Humanitarian aid has become the blood libel of the day.
Those first days, we couldn’t believe the numbers. First, it was 50, then 100, then over 250 hostages? Could it be true? How could we ever bring them home?? It has been 150 days of asking the same question.
...not knowing when they’ll have to return to the frontlines is only one of the challenges facing the released reservists.
Hamas recently acknowledged that Israel has successfully eliminated 6,000 terrorists, approximately half the number that Israel is claiming. It is worth bearing in mind that Hamas has been training kids as young as eight years old to attack Jews, so many of their “civilian” statistics are highly questionable.
Since Israel unwisely withdrew from Gaza in 2005, the only things that have not flown over the fence into Israel are doves of peace.
"The Israeli government must do more to significantly increase the flow of aid... No excuses"
Saadat Shukurova Israilov, head of channel 24, vice president of the International AzIz organization and chairwoman of the Donna Gracia Center for Diplomacy, stated in an interview: “Azerbaijan is the world's center of tolerance. We observe this in everyday life..”
Both US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron reveal their simplistic, and somewhat imperialist, Western approach to a complex Middle Eastern situation
Yet it was a “blindness to the Arab problem,” and lack of historical perspective that led Major-General Aharon Haliva, IDF's Military Intelligence Directorate, and others to believe that in Gaza, “our military force and deterrence,” and efforts “to stabilize the economy, allow in workers, and improve the quality of life all have the potential to create years of quiet.” He made this prediction in June 2021, and again in September 2022

When it came to other mitzvot, like davening, which were very dear to him, he would pray for twice as long as the average person, constantly criticizing the chazan for moving too quickly.
The Israeli people, irrespective of their political differences, will never accept any long-term deal that allows the terrorist masterminds of Hamas to remain in control of Gaza.
A better way to ensure inclusion would be a different acronym: DTALE – diversity of thought and life experience. This ideology would emphasize the importance of varied perspectives but highlight diversity in its truest form, which is a mosaic of unique personal stories rather than an oppression Olympics.
I was neither shocked nor surprised by the news. It was inevitable from the moment the pro-Hamas fifth column in the United States began its pro-terror campaign. The instant the genocidists took to the streets, it was obvious that behind all the screaming and slogans was nothing more than an inchoate murderous rage.
Our soldiers discovered Hamas paraphernalia and munitions in almost every civilian home. Yet, there are many totally innocent people who have been caught in the crossfire of this just and moral war. Such is the horrid legacy of terror. It kills indiscriminately.
By Bennett Ruda
The claim that Gaza is occupied is debatable at best. The legal precedent in international law is that occupation requires boots on the ground -- an actual, physical presence in the territory that allows the "occupying" force to exercise control and authority to the exclusion of local government authority. That is clearly not the case in Gaza, where Hamas is in control.
Everyone in UNRWA knew and lied, just as everyone in Gaza knew
Biden's threat to recognize a Palestinian state derives from his personal dislike of Netanyahu
Only when the Arabs truly understand that the Jews are in Israel to stay can there be a chance for a dialogue. Until then, Israelis are negotiating with themselves and seen by some as "walking like sheep to slaughter."
While most of us may not be guilty of heinous, public crimes, aren’t we all guilty of faux pas, bad judgments, slights, even sins? Are all our other efforts and contributions therefore annulled and void?
"When a woman is raped, the humanity of a human being is severely violated.”
We are currently experiencing a technological revolution, and we have not yet begun to understand the ramifications. As much as we have all benefited from these new tools, we also have a grave responsibility to use them for good.

When the Red Cross speaks about the Israel-Hamas conflict without mentioning Hamas' attacks, and its president meets with Hamas' leader but does not advocate for Israeli hostages, the message is clear.
For a culture which discourages ostentation and flashiness, the attire of the kohen gadol seems aberrant. His glittering clothing clashes with our overall inclination to dress quietly and discreetly.
Those of us who wake up to see our children every day cannot fathom the reality people like Rachel and Jon have been subjected to.
One of the many distressing aspects of the campaign to criminalize Israeli civilians is that it’s apparently the first target. The next one? The IDF.
Egyptians identify with the Pharaohs and Syrians and Lebanese with the Phoenicians, so the Palestinian Arabs decided to claim to be part of the Jebusites, an extinct tribe who lived in Jerusalem before being conquered by the Jews.
It would be a mistake to ignore the simmering tensions in the area south of Jerusalem.
Inside Gaza, allegiance to Hamas turns to scorn.

Will this be the spark that Gen Z needs to be more open-minded? Did we connect with the right feelings to inspire action?
Nearly a century after Winston Churchill’s surrender of Palestinian land to the King of Transjordan, the boundaries of the Jewish state remain a continuing source of contention.
The leaders of Hamas in Gaza, including Sinwar, are currently evading capture, possibly seeking refuge in the Rafah area. It is imperative for the IDF to promptly take control of Rafah to locate him.
In both Britain and America, politics is becoming increasingly distorted.

One cannot understand why the foreign media is turning a blind eye to the critical voices coming out from the Gaza Strip and Palestinians and Arabs living outside the Hamas-ruled coastal enclave.
Is history written by the victors?
By David Nabhan
Pretending and hoping, however, that sooner or later the Gazans would come to their senses, look to their children’s futures, put down their slingshots, cease and desist with the tunnel digging, and take advantage of their astoundingly fortuitous location astride the Mediterranean Sea, was a colossal failure.
For reasons that are far beyond our comprehension, G-d wants to be in this world with humanity and wants us to be His partners.
Our common struggle for survival dwarfed every petty difference which, in the past, divided us.

Unless we retain control of Gaza, we may have won the battle but did we win the war?
One would think that academic leaders would take proactive measures to combat antisemitic behavior and protect Jewish students, given these alarming numbers, but many have done the opposite.
I walk the freshly showered streets of Beit Shemesh and I think of spring. I think of spring in Jerusalem where I lived for 62 years. I think of you, Adar, when joy will increase; when this war, Iron Swords, will be over; when I hope something new will be ready to debut.

All that glitters is not gold, and what might appear to be a good way forward on paper is far from providing even an adequate solution to the deeply entrenched, fundamental problems.
Dealing with the Middle East today isn't as easy as it was even a decade ago
By Justin Amler
UNRWA was tasked to look after the needs of Arabs displaced by the conflict... instead, it became twisted into a mechanism for continuing the Arab war on Israel.
This is not the first time the ICRC ignored the plight of Jewish victims. During the Holocaust, the ICRC did nothing to help any of the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis and instead wrote a "favorable report of the good treatment of Jews in German camps."
Secretary of State Blinken's call for “a concrete, time-bound and irreversible path” to a Palestinian state presents serious dangers to Israel and to Palestinians as well.
Soros has invested millions of dollars in the “defund the police,” movement, “social justice” projects and Left-wing grassroots organizations advocating for environmentalism, gun control, court-packing, legalizing drugs and abortion.
Instead of regarding Iran as the mortal enemy not just of Israel, but of America and the civilized world, the Biden administration is treating it as an asset that must be protected.

Visiting Israel and engaging with its citizens is integral to nurturing the affection and enhancing relations between the two cultures.
In the theatre of the absurd, commonly known as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the judges are again preparing to ignore history, facts, and the fundamental truth. Having weaponized the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide against the Jewish state, the judges are now preparing to hear oral arguments […]

For the first time since the founding of the experiment in Jewish nationalism, the events that have unfolded in Israel raise questions about the “Zionist dream.”
It’s very poetic because her whole journey started when she had an Israeli boyfriend in Montreal, who had come to Canada to avoid serving in the army. Up until meeting him, she had had no contact with Jews.
What is one of the major signs we need to be aware of in ascertaining the danger of antisemitism? ...it is when we should determine whether antisemitism has becomes a mass movement.

I can honestly and regrettably say that up until I graduated high school, every conversation I had with rabbis always involved my grades, or rather my lack of them. I can’t recall any exchanges that endeared me to Torah observance.
“Whose army is this?” ask Samaria residents, after the IDF rehearses a scenario in which Israeli Jews abduct an Arab from a nearby village.
Jewish community relations councils often avoid challenging the anti-Zionist and antisemitic ethnic studies curricula that are increasingly being adopted around the nation.
Throughout the Diaspora, Jews are facing the darkest days since the Holocaust. There are serious and real issues facing American Jews.
Culpable Ignorance and the Devil's Spreadsheet
Their unhinged obsession with the “two-state solution” threatens to incentivize Hamas.
The common thread weaving Hamas, Hezbollah and the Shia militias together is the significant funding and support each receives from Iran, which has in turn received it from the Obama and Biden administrations.
"I wish there was as much concern for the victims and survivors of senseless violence in the city"
By Bassam Tawil
The PA, in its current location in the West Bank, does nothing to stop Hamas and other terrorists from pursuing their activities to murder Jews and obliterate Israel. There is no evidence to assume that it would behave any differently in Gaza.
Sometimes, the very thing we want so badly is the same thing we are completely terrified of. We have to learn to hold these two emotions inside, and embrace the journey.
My ennui worsened after October 7. At the time we were learning Koheles, and all I could think about over and over and over again was that indeed everything was futile, everything was hevel, everything was nothing.

It is now clear that the UN heads were lying when they said they were unaware of the involvement of their employees with terror groups. In fact, they knew but did their utmost to appease Hamas.
I was very excited to see my name on the certificate attesting to the completion of the studies of Neviim and Ketuvim.
The devil's spreadsheet therefore brings the ethical terms of engagement squarely front and centre. Israel did NOT bring war on 7th October. It has Just Cause, is fighting by just means, and has clear precedent.
