Egypt Preparing for War against Israel
by Hana Levi Julian
The Egyptian paratrooper brigade recently conducted training exercises, jumping out of aircraft and using powered gliders – the same type of gliders used to invade Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023.
Satellite images have also revealed 100 Abrams tanks - Egypt’s premier battle tanks - parked near Israel’s border with Egypt in another violation of the peace treaty.
Three new airfields have been built in Sinai and massive tunnels have been dug – more violations of the treaty.
The peace agreement allows for military camps for 47 battalions; currently there are camps for 180 battalions.
Egyptian Defense Minister Abdel Mageed Ahmed Abdel Mageed Saqr ordered military brigades in the Sinai and near Rafah – which straddles the border between Egypt and Gaza – to maintain the “highest level of readiness for war.”
Egypt has constructed military bases in Sinai “that can only be used for offensive operations, for offensive weapons. That’s a clear violation,” said Yechiel Leiter, Israeli Ambassador to the United States.
Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak
Enemies of Israel are killing and terrorising Jews, using bullets, stones, and rockets. Any self-respectful nation, be it a democracy or a totalitarian regime, would not tolerate it, and have crushed them and removed the terror-supporting population from its land a long time ago. The political leadership of Israel must realise that whatever Israel does or does not do, international Jew-haters will continue to criticise the Jewish state. Jews will never have their love, but respect can be earned by decisive and swift action against Israel-hating so-called Palestinians!
Extension of the First Phase Ceasefire Needed
Israel has agreed to a temporary ceasefire extension proposal from President Donald Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, for the period around the Muslim Ramadan and Jewish Passover. Hamas has "so far remained firm in its refusal of this framework". Israel blocks entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza. (The extension will facilitate the release of the remaining hostages.)
UNHCR Silent on Bibas Murders
The UNHCR President Jürg Laube refuses to let Prof. Anne Bayefsky, representing a UN-accredited organization, address the council about the murders of the Bibas family and the UN's lack of response. Prof. Bayefsky began, "The world now knows. Palestinian savages murdered nine-month-old baby Kfir..." At this point, UNHCR President Jürg Laube interrupted her and said, "Sorry, sorry. I have to interrupt. And I invite all speakers to use language that is commensurate with the dignity in here to our discussions here on human rights..." Professor Bayefsky stated later: "Today the UN silenced me, as a representative of a UN-accredited Jewish American NGO, for attempting to point to the atrocities perpetrated against the Bibas family by Palestinians, and to call the UN to account for aiding and abetting their murder."
Another Car Ram Terror Attack
At least 13 people have been injured after a car rammed into a bus stop in Israel, at Karkur Junction. The suspect is a 53-year-old Palestinian from the Jenin area who is married to an Israeli citizen and living in Israel without a permit. The driver took off in his car, but was blocked by police vehicles. He rammed the police vehicle before being 'neutralized' after he exited the vehicle and charged at police with a sharp object.
Trump Approved $3 Billion Arms Sale to Israel
The Trump administration has approved a major arms deal of nearly $3 billion will Israel, bypassing a normal congressional review to provide the country with more 2,000-pound bombs. The State Department said it had signed off on the sale of more than 35,500 MK 84 and BLU-117 bombs and 4,000 Predator warheads.
Extension or War?
Israel wants to extend first phase of deal by six weeks, otherwise war to resume. An extension would involve the release of four male hostages – who are all fathers – and others who are critically wounded, in exchange for prolonging the ceasefire during Ramadan. Hamas disagrees with the plan to extend and wants to proceed with the second phase as agreed.
Egypt does not Want to Control Gaza
Egypt once again dismissed a proposal from opposition leader Yair Lapid suggesting that Cairo take control of Gaza, calling the idea "unacceptable" and inconsistent with long-standing Egyptian and Arab policies. (Their 'policy' is destruction of the Jewish state, using fake Palestinians as disposable and willing political pawns.)
BBC Played Hamas 'Pallywood' Production
The BBC removed its documentary, “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone,” from its platform after playing it. It emerged that the child narrator was the son of Hamas’s former deputy minister of agriculture. The revelations sparked an angry response and led to protests outside the BBC’s London headquarters. A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said: “The BBC’s bias and lack of accountability have led it to a new low, where it is a mouthpiece for terrorists and their supporters.”
Hamas Preparing to Renew Fighting
Hamas prepares to renew fighting with Israel. Hamas has begun mapping its new positions, where it will station terrorists if the fighting restarts. The terror group has also begun repairing tunnels damaged by IDF operations. Hamas has distributed fliers calling to teach inexperienced terrorists how to use weapons when fighting breaks out.
Biden Sent $2B to Support Hamas
More than $2 billion was sent by USAID to support the Hamas terrorist organization since October 7, 2023, under the Biden Administration. “Dozens of terror organizations have received indirect assistance from US foreign aid,” Greg Roman, director of the Middle East Forum testified before a House committee. This problem began under the Obama Administration and was exacerbated under the Biden Administration. Roman noted that “a private citizen can’t do this, but if the government wants to give money to a terrorist organization (currently, through USAID), it’s okay.”
Iran on High Alert
Iran has placed its missile defense systems on high alert amid growing fears of a potential attack by the United States and Israel. The Trump administration has repeatedly pledged 'maximum pressure' on Iran. Many Republican lawmakers support the US and Israeli strike on the Iranian nuclear program.
The 'Ugly Nazi' is still Barking
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, said in a meeting with the Human Rights Council in Geneva said that there is “no justification” for Israel’s war in Gaza. Additionally, Turk mentioned Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists' war crimes, including taking and torturing hostages and firing indiscriminate projectiles into Israel. (And this is not the ‘justification’ for Israel to neutralise Hamas?)
Quotes of the Week:
“It has never been more important to show the world’s unequivocal support for Israel. We will not rest until every hostage is brought home and Hamas is eradicated. The world must never forget that Hamas terrorists savagely murdered over 1,200 innocent civilians - and took hundreds hostage, committing unspeakable atrocities against humanity. Make no mistake. Hear it now. We will not only defund UNRWA, we will dismantle it.” - Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), The US nominee for Ambassador to the United Nations.
Antisemitism of Two-State Solution
(FaceBook post)
Many western leaders repeat again and again that they support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the only way that can bring peace to the Middle East.
HERE ARE SOME 2-STATE SOLUTION SUGGESTIONS:
1. UKRAINE - Cede Eastern and Southern Ukraine to Russia, including Crimea to end the war.
2. IRELAND - Split off areas of Ireland that are now 20% of Ireland’s population, for a Muslim state in Ireland.
3. SPAIN - Independence for Catalonia and Basque countries.
4. PAKISTAN - Create an independent Baluchistan. End the conflict.
5. CANADA - Independence for Quebec.
6. NIGERIA - An Independent Biafra (nobody even heard of it)
7. SOUTH AFRICA - To solve the racial and ethnic issues, create separate states for Whites and Coloureds; give independence to the Zulu Nation.
8. GERMANY - Create a state for Muslims.
9. FRANCE - Create a State for Muslims.
10. IRAN - Split Iran into 5 states, one for each ethnic group.
11. RUSSIA - Independence for Chechnya.
11. It is past time to separate England and Scotland. And to provide more autonomy for Wales; a three-state solution.
But pay attention! Not one of the examples above would be allowed. Spain went so far as to arrest and jail those that proposed an independent Catalan state. Nigeria sent an army in to exterminate Biafra.
Only Israel gets pushed into a “solution” that would lead to nothing other than war and destruction at the expense of the Jewish people.
In every one of these cases, it would be easier to do and have peace, but not in Israel. Israel’s enemies’ goal is the end of the Jewish State and the death of all the Jews, and takeover of the Jewish land!
In 2005, the USA and UK pressured Israel to remove 8,500 Jews and to withdraw its troops from Gaza. In fact, Gazans were given a chance to show that it can live in peace with Israel as an independent state. Had this experiment worked, it could led to a 2-State solution. This ‘experiment’ has failed. The Gazans elected a terrorist organization, Hamas, to lead them, and attack Israel. After that, Israel will never be pushed to consider a 2-State solution again!
