To stop receiving this newsletter/bulletin simply reply with "UNSUBSCRIBE" - The US President Donald Trump said that a Gaza cease-fire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas is “very close.” Hamas, however, said it is still reviewing the latest American-backed proposal, which it received on Thursday. While some senior Hamas officials have publicly voiced reservations - particularly over the absence of a guaranteed end to the war - the organization has yet to issue a formal rejection. - Witkoff offered major concessions to Hamas, leaving half the hostages behind. Currently, 58 hostages are believed to be held in Gaza: 20 are confirmed alive, 35 have been declared dead, and three are in critical condition with their status officially unconfirmed. In the latest revised Witkoff plan the terrorist group Hamas would release 10 living hostages and 18 bodies. - A senior Hamas official said that the terrorist group will reject the latest US proposal for a new ceasefire and hostage release agreement in Gaza. The Hamas official said the proposal failed to meet the group’s core demands, including a complete end to the war. - Military orders one of the largest evacuations across northern Gaza neighbourhoods since the start of the war, as Hamas continues to stall a response to the US-proposed ceasefire deal. (Israel needs to 'neutralise' Hamas terrorists decisively and completely, and remove all of its supporters from Gaza. This is the best deal!)
Zionism is the Jewish National Independence Movement Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak Israel is the only country that can claim its statehood and ownership of the Jewish ancestral land – Eretz-Israel. Jewish people have almost 3,300 years of spiritual and historical connection with the land. Israel is the only country in the world which, under international pressure, withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula 3 times. It is never enough! Jew-haters still want Israel to surrender Jewish land to our enemies, a recently forged people – fake Palestinians, whose only goal is to destroy the Jewish state. Reclaiming Jewish Sovereignty over Judea and Samaria Israel’s Security Cabinet recently approved 22 new Jewish communities across Judea and Samaria, including two in northern Samaria that were uprooted by Israeli forces as part of the 2005 Gaza disengagement. “The new settlements are all placed within a long-term strategic vision, whose goal is to strengthen the Israeli hold on the territory, to avoid the establishment of a Palestinian state, and to create the basis for future development of settlement in the coming decades,” Israeli Defense Ministry said. Hamas Response Totally Unacceptable As Hamas answers truce offers with new demands, Witkoff says their response is "totally unacceptable". The terror group seeks truce of up to 7 years (to rearm and regroup), full IDF withdrawal from areas seized since March and a reversal of the new humanitarian aid model managed by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The UN Starving Baby Claim was anti-Israel ‘Desperation’ The UN aid chief Tom Fletcher expressed regret for his recent claim that 14,000 babies could die within 48 hours in Gaza without aid. Despite his retraction, Fletcher still maintained that Israel has caused forced starvation in Gaza. Approximately 997,920 meals were distributed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which the UN refuses to cooperate with. The GHF opens a third Gaza aid center, hands out up to 1.8 million meals. (The 'Ugly Nazi' never misses an opportunity to smear the Jewish state.) Lebanon’s army has dismantled most of Hezbollah’s posts and weapons stockpile in the country’s south, with the help of Israeli intelligence passed along by the US. Lebanon has achieved 80 percent of its objectives in disarming militias in the south. Though the ceasefire agreement focuses on dismantling Hezbollah south of the Litani River, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and the US are pushing for the same disarmament of the group across the rest of the country. Iron Beam Laser System in Action The Iron Beam project, a laser system currently in use is entirely Israeli-made. It is the mobile, tactical system can shift locations based on threats. The laser system has already recorded about 40 successful interceptions - mainly of Hezbollah UAVs - has effectively complemented Iron Dome. So far, the laser system has performed successful interceptions at short ranges. Iran Rules out Uranium Enrichment Suspension Following the fifth round of Omani-mediated talks in Rome, Iran firmly rejected any suspension of its uranium enrichment activities, a core demand from the United States in ongoing nuclear negotiations. US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has stated that the United States "could not authorize even one percent" of enrichment by Iran. (Isn't it time to get the message and remove the Ayatollah regime? Israel is ready!) Sovereignty as soon as Possible Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to seize the opportunity and apply sovereignty over the territories of Judea and Samaria. "We declared 50 new communities. 50 communities that have been legalized and completely re-established. We are developing and legalizing the farms that hold half a million dunams in Judea and Samaria, we approved 41,000 new housing units in Judea and Samaria, and additional steps." He also declared that there is no need to fear occupying the Gaza Strip in the war. “We are occupying the land of Israel, we are liberating Gaza, we are settling Gaza, and we are defeating the enemy." Three rockets were launched from southern Gaza toward Israel last week. Two of the rockets fell inside Gaza territory, while one was intercepted by the Air Force. AI Images Used to Smear Israel A widely circulated image reportedly showing the aftermath of an Israeli strike that killed nine children in Gaza has been exposed as misleading. The photo, which has gone viral in recent days was originally published several months ago in a different context. AI-generated images are now being disseminated across international media networks. Nasser Hospital has been a hub of IDF operations in recent weeks, following intelligence indicating Hamas activity in the area. (The international anti-Semitic Leftist media is only happy to use any Hamas propaganda material, without checking its authenticity, to smear Israel.) Different Players the Same Enemy The defense establishment has expressed concern over a sharp increase in the involvement of Israeli Arabs in the Islamic State and other Palestinian terrorist groups in northern Judea & Samaria (West Bank). Over the past five months, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) has exposed and arrested more than 15 terrorist cells and networks composed of Israeli Arabs. This support includes smuggling explosives and weapons, conducting reconnaissance, and reporting on IDF troop movements to assist in attacks against Israeli soldiers. Three Arab Israeli youths, residents of the northern Arab town of Arara, charged with plotting ISIS-inspired terror attacks. They built and tested bombs and plotted attacks on Israeli civilians and police. Anti-Semites to Fly the PA Flag The World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland voted to allow the Palestinian Authority flag to be flown alongside those of the WHO’s member states. The motion was approved in a vote of 95-4 and 27 abstentions. The United States and the United Kingdom were among those who abstained. Israel, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Germany were the only countries to oppose the decision. ('They' are raising the flag of a never existed state of the fake nation/people, with no defied borders!) Hamas is facing a severe financial crisis amid ongoing fighting with Israel across Gaza. Hamas is struggling to pay salaries - not only to government employees, but also to Hamas' military wing. It has not paid salaries to terrorists for approximately three months and are facing serious financial difficulties in acquiring essential equipment for their military operations. Quotes of the Week: "The Israeli government needs to wake up quickly. The attacks will continue until the Arabs among us understand that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish People. We will win this war of independence only when we remove every question mark about the future of our country." - Shlomo Ne'eman, Gush Etzion leader. Scientific Approach to Arab-Israel Conflict by Steve Shamrak (published Dec 2008) For centuries, with the exception of the Dark Ages, scientists and the intellectual elite have been considered as a vanguard of humanity. They are a leading force not just of technical and medical advance, but have greatly influenced and contributed to the political and social fabric of society. All of this is achieved by dedication of their lives to their chosen fields, usually with no or little personal involvement in politics. The recent phenomenon whereby celebrities such as Hollywood stars, between drug rehabilitation clinics and plastic surgery, express their unqualified views about anything, particularly politics, and influence public opinion using their celebrity status, which has become contagious. Unfortunately, this trend is spreading and seriously affecting Israeli scientists and intellectuals who are craving acceptance and recognition by the wider fatuous politically correct and generally anti-Semitic international audience. As a result, many of them, although some are quite brilliant in their chosen fields of expertise, have joined the Israel-bashing choir, blaming Israel for not doing enough for the peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Strangely, as scientists, many of them do not consider that factual knowledge and understanding of the history and dynamic of the conflict is essential in order to take an educated and qualified position. It is astonishing what is happening on the political front in Israel’s universities. The level of self-hate, disloyalty to their own country and self-destructiveness is unprecedented: At Tel Aviv University: Gadi Algazi, a history professor, stated: "Commercial and political exploitation of lands stolen by Israel." I wonder where he got his qualification from? Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy, Anat Biletzki claims that she is working for the human rights of the Palestinians but completely ignores the Jewish right for land and Israel’s right to exist and requirements for self-defence. At the University of Haifa: Professor of Psychology Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, in addition to his pro-Arab views, proclaimed that “the rights to free speech, freedom of association, and freedom of religion do not exist in Israel.” In this case, why is he not in jail? Could he tell us how many Arab or Muslim organisations he knows that are able to take similar anti-government statements in their own countries? It is alarming to see how many Jewish academics and organisations in Israel and around the world have taken an anti-Israel position. Some 530 people signed a statement that reads: "We Israeli Jews and Jews from Other Countries Support the Rights of Palestinian Refugees." Support is unconditional! They completely disregard the historical facts and the existential demographic threat to Israel. Israeli academics: Endorsing calls and signing petitions encouraging Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel; the Israeli Committee for Right of Residency demands that Israel stop checking Palestinian Visas, completely disregarding security issues; 358 faculty members called upon their students to break the law, and refuse serving in Judea and Samaria; forty Israeli academics endorsed an Arab lecturer, Nizar Hassan, in the Sapir College, after he expelled a reserve soldier from class because he attended in military uniform. They are active in organisations like "Anarchists Against the Wall" and “Zochrot”, promoting the Arab propaganda concept of “Nakba” to the Israeli-Jewish public, completely ignoring the fact that Arab leaders, in 1948, called for Arabs to leave, so that it would be easier for advancing Muslim armies to kill Jews! Many did leave in fear of being killed as Jewish collaborators. One would expect that distinguished psychologists, such as psychology Professor Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, would be interested in studying what the long term developmental and psychological effects of the Qassam rocket attacks from Gaza are having on the children of Sderot. But he is not! At the same time, Jewish scientists could explain the adverse effects of long-term exposure to stress - caused by the endless chain of Arab terrorism such as random suicide bombings, attacks on cars, knifings, and sniper shootings - have on the combined and individual psychology of all Israeli Jews. It would be viable to take into consideration the level of hopelessness and helplessness people feel due to the inaction and unwillingness of Israel’s government to resolve this mass torture by destroying and/or removing enemies from the Jewish land. The diagnosis is well-known to professionals: Israel is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which is affecting not only the entire Jewish population of Israel but Jews of the Diaspora as well! For many years, Israel has been used by professional organizations as a country-laboratory for the unique study of the effects of PTSD on the Jewish population of Israel. Jewish scientists could use this information defending and promoting the rights of Israel among their international colleagues. But they choose not to! Another scientific study is long overdue: Why are so many Jews in Israel and overseas actively defending the enemies of the Jewish state and their bogus claims instead of supporting the Jewish right to the land of their ancestors and the right of Israel as an independent country to exist in security and peace? They antagonistically view, question and criticize anything Israel does. At the same time, self-hating or psychologically disturbed Jews are able to find explanations and justifications for almost anything those ‘poor Palestinians’ do, including murderous terror acts. The professionals call this kind of behaviour Stockholm Syndrome – when a victim, after being exposed to life threatening violence for a long time, starts to support and feel affiliation with the perpetrator of this violence! An effect of the “Media war”: a well-orchestrated propaganda effort of enemies of Israel, with the aim to change the attitude and gain support of the Israeli population, could be another explanation. This explains why Professor Anat Biletzki and several hundred Jews around the world felt the need to sign a declaration of unconditional support for the rights of the Palestinian refugees to return to Israel. While doing so, they did not care about the demographic danger it would bring to the existence of Israel and the true intentions of so-called Palestinians and their masters. They did not ask why, after 60 years since the war of Independence, Arab and Muslim countries still have not accommodated some 460,000 refugees from Palestine and their offspring, the number having doubled as soon as the UN announced its intention to provide financial help to them. At the same time, 850,000 Jews were forced to leave the Muslim world. No international help was offered to these Jewish refugees! The deep-seated fear and need for at least an illusion of progress toward peace is the main culprit that so many Jews are driven toward completely illogical and self-destructive conclusions and actions. Some of them are demanding: "Israel should withdraw immediately from the territories occupied in 1967", with complete disregard to the fact that Judea, Samaria, Gaza, the Golan Heights, and Jerusalem are Jewish land. Others emotionally proclaimed: "My biggest hope and plea is - save the Palestinians!" Is there any interest in saving Jewish lives? Now, I would like to briefly re-examine some facts of history, by reviewing what Zionists before 1948, and what Israel has done so far to accommodate our internal and external enemies in order to achieve peace and their response: 1. In order to realize that the Jewish claim to Palestine is not based only on ancient times, some might even say irrelevant, history, I would like to remind you that in 1922, the League of Nations created the Palestinian mandate, one of many mandates created in the region after the defeat of the Ottoman empire in World War 1. It was designated as the land for the future Jewish state, Eretz-Israel. A few months later, disregarding the condition of the mandate, the United Kingdom and France annexed 82% from the Palestinian mandate and facilitated the creation of Trans-Jordan. Surprisingly, Arab leaders were not satisfied with this partition, as they did not want a Jewish state in their backyard. They initiated riots and pogroms in Hebron, Gaza and all over the land that was left for the Jewish state. All Jews were forced to leave Trans-Jordan, Hebron, and Gaza. No transfer of the non-Jewish population and Arabs from the remaining part of the mandate to Trans-Jordan was organized. At the same time, the League of Nations was transferring 1.8 million people between Greece and Turkey to facilitate peace between two countries. 2. In 1947, the United Nations came up with a ridiculous looking partition map of the remaining 18% of the Palestinian mandate. The map looked like a mosaic made of six triangles with Jerusalem designated as an internationally controlled city. Jews agreed to this hideous plan, Arabs rejected it and unleashed the war against the newly created Jewish state. By doing so, they lost any legal claim to the land, which was assigned to them at the time, in accordance with international law. Similarly, the Maharaja of Kashmir missed the deadline to claim the independence of his kingdom a year earlier. Therefore, his kingdom, Kashmir, was arbitrarily divided between Pakistan and India. Almost at the same time, over 12 million people were transferred between Pakistan and India to accommodate the partition of the Indian peninsula. 3. In 1967, Israel, after a defensive war, took control over Judea, Samaria, and one third of the Gaza strip. (Two thirds of Gaza was still controlled by Egypt but no one demanded its independence.) For a long period of time, being uncertain what to do with the newly acquired land, Israel tried to rule the territories with little interference. Israel did not build any settlements or towns on the land. But our neighbours were not interested in peaceful coexistence. 4. Later, the idea that a lack of education was the primary reason for terrorism gained dominance in Israel and overseas. As a result, the so-called Palestinians are the most educated terrorists in the world and their well-tested terror experience is successfully exported and implemented by other Islamic terrorist organizations. 5. Next came an idea of economic prosperity. The premise was that poverty is the root of the terrorism. Raising the standard of living of an enemy population was considered as a panacea against Arab terror from which Jews in Israel were suffering; the term “Islamic terrorism” had not yet been invented. New industrial zones were built in the Judea & Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza strip to accommodate this fantasy. In return, Israel got the first Intifada. 6. In an act of desperation, some started screaming: “Give them autonomy” and the Oslo Agreement was forged. Did it stop terror? Suicide bombings became a common daily occurrence. Israelis were afraid to take a bus to work, go out or sit outside in coffee shops with friends. 7. Israel started to build an anti-terror wall and fence around Judea and Samaria, which some hypocrites are now trying to call a border. This greatly reduced, almost eliminated, terror attacks from the West Bank. The Arab response came almost immediately in the form of Qassam rockets from Gaza. 8. Many Israelis became blinded by the success of the anti-terror wall and, with the hope of ending rocket attacks from Gaza, the idea of ‘Disengagement’ from Gaza became quite tempting. As a result, 8,500 Jews were sacrificed and forcibly removed from their homes in the Gaza strip. What has ‘Disengagement’ brought to Israel? More rockets are flying; a sophisticated tunnel system is being built in Gaza; Cpl Gilad Schalit was kidnapped; Hamas gained uncontrolled access to the Sinai, and terror attacks from Sinai are the reality now! It would be prudent of me to point out that the act of Jewish population transfer from Gaza by the Israeli government constituted a violation of the Fourth Geneva convention, which forbids any transfer of population. The Fourth Geneva convention was adopted by the United Nations almost immediately after Israel, against all odds, won the War of Independence, arguably to prevent the transfer of a hostile non-Jewish population from Israel. Interestingly, neither the United Nations nor any human rights group or organization condemned Israel for conducting the transfer of the Jewish population from Gaza! This total inaction of the international community effectively restored the status of “Population transfer” as a legitimate and effective tool for conflict resolution, as was done after the war between Greece and Turkey and during the separation of India and Pakistan. Population transfer is still effectively used, although under different names. For example, during and after the war in former Yugoslavia; in many conflicts in Africa; and recently, several million refugees from Iraq moved across the border to Turkey, Jordan, Iran and other countries. It is understandable that after years of living with terror, not only Jews in Israel but also those in the Diaspora are tired and exhausted. But it does not justify the sacrifice of the future of all Jewish people for the sake of an illusion of the possibility of life without terror in Israel. The attitude and behaviour of Israel’s scientists reminded me of a Soviet joke: After a political meeting in a small remote village, an old peasant asked a lecturer, who had been sent to the village by the Communist party: “Excuse me please, could you tell me, who carried out the October revolution, Scientists or Communists?” “Of course Communists, you old fool!” the lecturer replied. The old man exclaimed, “I knew it, I knew it! Scientists would conduct experiments on rabbits or rats first.” Unfortunately, many Jews and members of Israel’s so-called liberal intellectuals are not interested in scientific data or logical analysis of the facts. I hope that after this short review, any logical or scientifically minded person will realize that each time Israel takes steps toward peace, including negotiation, our enemies view it as weakness. All attempts made by Israel to accommodate the enemy only escalate the level of terror. Each time, another rise in terror activity is reached, new demands are made. Step by step limited autonomy is replaced by a demand for an independent state; and the necessity for the independent state is replaced by demands for a contiguous independent state, with complete disregard for the needs of the contiguity of Israel. At the same time, the original intent of our enemies to kill or toss Jews “to the sea” and destroy the State of Israel still remains unchanged! All Palestinian organizations, including Fatah and Hamas, have been steadily pursuing it. For 60 years, Jews in Israel have been living under a continuous terror threat from enemies within Israel and in neighbouring Muslim countries, which is being facilitated by a generally apathetic and anti-Semitic international community. As Albert Einstein said: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”, but bearing in mind that “No problem can be solved by the same consciousness that created it. We need to see the world anew.” It is time for the people of Israel to realize this and start to look for a different approach to the resolution of the conflict. There is one alternative plan, which still remains unexplored. It is the Sinai Option - the transfer of all of the enemy population from the land that used to be called the “Palestinian mandate” to the Sinai Peninsula. It is a contiguous land, which is comparable in size to the entire Palestinian mandate: Israel, Gaza, Judea, Samaria, the Golan Heights, and Jordan! This plan presents a real opportunity for a permanent peace. It would allow Palestinians to live with dignity in their own country and be held accountable for their actions, as is any independent country. This idea was initially proposed over 100 years ago, but has been deliberately sabotaged, ignored and disallowed by the international hypocrites and the self-hating, corrupt and apathetic political elite in Israel. Israel has exhausted all other options, except self-destruction, which is not an option! The recent crossings of over half of Gaza’s residents through the border with Egypt is ultimate proof that the Sinai option is a practical and viable way to start the process of ending the occupation of Jewish land! Footnote: Up to 1950, Jews were commonly called Palestinians! Therefore, clarification of the terms used in this article are required. Please read: Ethnic Make Up of ‘Palestinians’.
