NINE Peace Proposals Rejected

 

David Collier investigates the BBC

Once again the BBC is called to task for its biased Israel reporting.

https://david-collier.com/the-bbcs-spiteful-hamas-propaganda/

October 7th, 3 Years Later.

 Today is the day that has been etched in the memory of (almost) all Israelis. Thoughts take us back to that fateful day: where we were, what we were doing, and how news of the tragedy and atrocities we suffered reached us.

The IDF has reported that 970 soldiers have fallen in operational circumstances during the war since October 7, 2023. In addition, 70% of soldiers wounded in the war have returned to duty.

The IDF struck approximately 100,000 targets on the various fronts:

·        65,000 in the Gaza Strip

·        28,000 in Lebanon and Syria

·        4,500 in Iran

·        80 in Yemen

More than 31,000 rockets were fired at the State of Israel: approximately 10,200 from the Gaza Strip, 20,000 from Lebanon, 1,200 from Iran, 50 from Syria and 90 from Yemen.

As we mourn our fallen soldiers and civilians on this Day of Remembrance, the useful idiots of our enemies march in many places around the world to "celebrate" what is presented as a "victory" over Israel. Governments around the world allow these anti-Israel demonstrations to take place, in a great show of cowardice.

After three years, peace is still far, far away. Israelis have every reason in the world to seriously doubt the plans, conceived in the United States, to bring peace to Israel's southern and northern borders.

Both Gaza and Lebanon continue to have deep-rooted, Iranian-backed terrorist armies deployed against Israel. No one has yet met an Islamist truly willing to give up his weapons.

Hamas is supposed to be stripped of its weapons and Gaza is supposed to be demilitarized by an "International Stabilization Force" (ISF), made up of Moroccan, Albanian, and other troops. The Hamas government is supposed to be replaced by a neutral (non-Hamas) "technocratic government." Members of this government and its "new" police force will have to be "vetted" for their peaceful intentions. This is pure fantasy.

In Lebanon, Hezbollah will also, hypothetically, be "dismantled" or driven out of southern Lebanon by the weak army known as the "Lebanese Armed Forces," infiltrated by Hezbollah. This near-fictitious force, overseen by international observers from the United States and reportedly also from Italy, Switzerland, and Indonesia, will be tasked with "verifying" Hezbollah's disarmament and demise.

On paper, all this is wonderful! But both Hamas and Hezbollah categorically deny that they will disarm, and they have certainly not abandoned their stated ideological commitments. Their founding charters remain unchanged. The goal remains the destruction of the State of Israel.

 

'The Ongoing Genocide against Christians'

                   The Extremist Persecution of Christians, May 2026

        by Raymond Ibrahim  •  September 7, 2026

• On April 8 the family received a WhatsApp call from a Muslim man identifying himself as Sohail Riaz, based in Dubai. He claimed Jia was in his custody and warned them against pursuing the case. Masih said Riaz had contacted her through social media and "groomed her for sexual exploitation under the guise of marriage." — Morning Star News, May 7, 2026, Pakistan.
• The terrorists set fire to the church, parish buildings, and countless homes. Archbishop Antonio Juliasse described it as "a terrifying scene, houses and infrastructure destroyed, a historic parish reduced to rubble." Captured Christians were also "forced to listen to the jihadists' proclamations of hatred." Over the last nine years, more than 300 Christians have been killed, continued the archbishop, adding, "most of them with their throats slit," and "at least 117 churches and chapels destroyed, 23 of them in 2025 alone. — lanuovabq.it, May 2, 2026, Mozambique.
• [A]uthorities completely demolished the Holy Mother of God Cathedral (the main Armenian Apostolic cathedral) and St. Hakob Church in Stepanakert, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Satellite imagery has confirmed both Christian sites were razed to the ground, leaving only paved or cleared ground. The cathedral, consecrated only in 2019, had been the city's primary place of worship. The demolition followed the 2023 Azerbaijani military takeover that forced more than 120,000 Armenian Christians to flee. — christianophobie.fr, May 5, 2026, Azerbaijan
• Police and intelligence reports estimated more than 5,000 Muslims participated in the rioting, arson, and church attacks. Nearly 400 were initially arrested, but most, later, received bail, acquittal, or discharge. Of 336 suspects charged, only one remains in prison. — morningstarnews.org, May 22, 2026, Pakistan.
• "How many more churches must be desecrated before the nation fully grasps the gravity of these acts? For when a statue of Christ or the Virgin Mary is broken, when a consecrated place is deliberately vandalized, it is not merely stone, wood, or glass that is being attacked. It is a memory, a faith, and a civilization that some seem intent on trampling." — Tribune Chrétienne, May 26, 2026, France.

The following are among the murders and abuses Muslims inflicted on Christians throughout the month of May 2026.

Muslim Slaughter of Christians

Nigeria: On May 3, "Muslim Fulani gunmen killed five Christians in a fresh attack on Fan village," resident Bot James reported. The victims were ambushed returning home from their businesses. Fulani assailants in the same county also killed two Christians in Kassa village on April 27 and four Christians -- while injuring five others -- in Hurum village on April 19.

On May 8, Muslim Fulani gunmen killed 13 Christians in a pre-dawn attack on the community of Ngbra Zongo in Plateau State. "The attack has left dozens of other Christians injured, hundreds of others displaced," a spokesperson for the community related. Three pregnant women were among the dead.

Israel Aid From America is ONLY 0.3% of the Total Aid

 

How Palestinians Blame Jews For "Their Acts"

by Leah Zakh Aharoni

 Every time the pro-Palestinian movement accuses Israel of an atrocity, I have started paying attention to what they are describing. They are describing themselves! Every single time.

Genocide?

The Hamas 1988 charter, Article 7 explicitly calls for the killing of Jews wherever they are found. Not Israelis. Not Zionists. Jews. Yes anti-Zionist Jews, it includes you! As a global project. Written down. Never rescinded in any meaningful way.

Ethnic cleansing?

Every Arab country that hosted a Jewish community expelled its Jews after 1948 or severely persecuted them. Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco. Over 850,000 Jews forced from their homes. Israel absorbed them all. No one talks about them.

Occupation?

Jordan illegally occupied Judea and Samaria from 1948 to 1967. Egypt illegally occupied Gaza. Ethnically cleansed every Jew from the territory. Destroyed 58 synagogues in the Old City of Jerusalem. Paved roads with headstones from the Mount of Olives Jewish cemetery.

And successive terrorist organizations from PLO to Hezbollah have occupied Southern Lebanon with just one aim of firing rockets into Israel.

Apartheid?

Every Palestinian Arab document on the future Palestinian state specifies that no Jew will be permitted to live there. The PA has repeated this explicitly. Their vision of statehood is a Jew-free state. Their word for it is Judenrein.

They are not describing us. They are describing themselves.

But it goes deeper than the accusations. They are also projecting their entire worldview onto us.

Political Islamist movements, the same movements that fund and run the pro-Palestinian propaganda machine, operate from a specific cultural frame. And they cannot imagine that anyone operates from a different one.

Their frame is the glory of death. The Hamas charter cites the Islamic tradition promising that "the trees and the stones will say: 'O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'" That is Article 7. It is the founding document of their movement.

Their military wing is called the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, named after a jihadi killed while fighting Jews in Mandate Palestine.

Their suicide bombers are recruited with the promise of 72 virgins in paradise, a mainstream hadith cited by every jihadist organization from Hamas to ISIS. Children are taught this promise in Hamas schools before they can read.

Their funerals for terrorists are celebrated as weddings. The mother of a suicide bomber ululates in joy. The community distributes sweets. The martyr's photograph goes on the wall of the school he attended.

The Palestinian Authority pays lifetime salaries to the families of terrorists, the more Jews their relative killed, the higher the payment. "Pay for Slay" is a real, documented, ongoing PA policy.

Now here is the Jewish frame.

U'vacharta ba'chaim. Choose life. It is not a suggestion. It is a Torah commandment.

The Talmud states: "Whoever saves a single life, it is as if he saved an entire world." One human life is a universe.

Pikuach nefesh, the preservation of a single human life, overrides almost every commandment in the Torah. You can break Shabbat to save a life. You can break the fast on Yom Kippur to save a life. You can eat forbidden food to save a life. You can violate almost every ritual law to save a life. This is not a loophole. This is the whole point.

Our mourner's prayer, the Kaddish, does not even mention death. Not once. It is a praise of God's greatness. Because in the Jewish frame, even in the presence of death, we speak of life.

We named our first modern political movement "chibbat Zion" the love of Zion. Not the death of anyone. The love of a place. The desire to live there..

Our national anthem is called Hatikvah. The Hope. Not "The Vengeance." Not "The Conquest." The Hope.

They cannot see this.

They cannot see that when Israel does something, we are usually doing it because we are trying to keep our children alive. Not because we want theirs dead.

When Israel drops leaflets before a bombing, when Israel calls Arab phones to warn them to evacuate, when Israel opens humanitarian corridors even during active war, this is not weakness. This is Jewish law. Life is precious. Even the life of the population that houses your enemy is precious. And often the IDF goes to such extraordinary lengths that it endangers our own soldiers.

They cannot see this because in their frame, warning your enemy is stupidity. In their frame, showing mercy is defeat. In their frame, the goal is death, theirs, ours, everyone's, as long as it advances the political-religious project.

The Accusations

When they accuse Israel of genocide, they are describing what they would do to us if the roles were reversed. And we only need to look to October 7 to know that.

When they accuse us of wanting all the land, they are describing their own program from the river to the sea.

When they accuse us of killing children, they are describing the strategy they use, hiding rockets in kindergartens, using children as human shields, training six-year-olds to stab Jews.

Projection is not just a rhetorical move. It is what happens when a movement built on death encounters a people built on life and cannot imagine any other frame exists.

They have accused Israel of every crime in the human catalog. But they have described only themselves.

Look at what they say we do. Then look at what they actually do.

And then tell me who has the mentality of life, and who has the mentality of death.

What Every American Should Know About U.S. Aid to Israel

Much is argued against the $3.8 bill aid given by the USA. But it is not all one way. Beyond Israeli contributions to the F-35 program saving billions in US R & D and related aviation technology, supporters of the aid relationship point to several areas:

1. Intelligence Sharing

Israel provides intelligence on: Iran's nuclear and missile programs , Terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS affiliates, and others, Russian and Chinese military equipment used in the Middle East, U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies cooperate extensively on counterterrorism and regional security. 

2. Missile Defense Development

Joint development of: Iron Dome, David's Sling and  Arrow 3. These programs involve shared technology, testing, and co-production between U.S. and Israeli firms. �

3. Combat Testing and Operational Experience

Israel frequently operates U.S.-made systems in real combat environments. This is sometimes described as Israel acting as a "real-world laboratory" for certain systems, although the value of this is debated.

4. Cybersecurity and Technology

Cooperation in: Cyber defense, Artificial intelligence applications, Unmanned systems and Electronic warfare.

5. Defense Industrial Benefits for the U.S.

Most U.S. military aid to Israel must be spent on American-made equipment. Thus, that means much of the money flows back to U.S. defense companies such as Lockheed Martin⁠�, Boeing⁠�, and Raytheon⁠�.

Missile-defense co-production involves numerous American manufacturers and workers. �

6. Strategic Presence in the Middle East

Many U.S. policymakers view Israel as a reliable regional ally in a volatile region. The alliance provides: Military cooperation, Joint exercises, Pre-positioned U.S. military stockpiles and Access to regional intelligence. �

In Short

If you exclude the F-35 and related R&D, the biggest benefits usually cited are:

Intelligence on Iran and regional threats.
Joint missile-defense technologies.
Combat experience and operational feedback on U.S. weapons.
Cybersecurity and defense-tech cooperation.
Economic benefits to the U.S. defense industry.
A close strategic ally in the Middle East.

Mapping Qatar’s $400 Billion Footprint in the United States

 Qatar Buys Influence in the USA

for the full report go to: https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2026/06/03/mapping-qatars-400-billion-footprint-in-the-united-states/ 

Why has a country of just 330,000 citizens that is half the size of New Jersey and a leading patron of the Muslim Brotherhood plowed $400 billion dollars into the United States? This amounts to approximately $1.2 million per Qatari citizen — an enormous sum.

Foundation for Defense of Democracies has collected the receipts for these Qatari transactions, most of which have taken place over the past decade. But it is noted that $400 billion is a lowside estimate. If you take the word of Qatari government estimates or even the White House, the total number may exceed $1.2 trillion.

Some Americans may welcome the generosity of the Qatari regime. After all, one could argue that a great many of these investments — spanning energy, defense, biotech and other important sectors — serve to benefit the U.S. economy and U.S. citizens.

But Qatar is different. There are more than a few reasons to question the largesse of the Qatari government. At the end of the day, Qatar is ruled by an Islamist, autocratic regime; Freedom House consistently ranks the country as “Not Free” in its annual survey World survey. Qatar’s tendency to support jihadi causes in the Middle East raise significantly more concern. The country’s horrific track record in this regard distinguishes Qatar from other Gulf states that spread their wealth in America.

Qatar is a longstanding patron of Hamas, the terrorist group that plunged the Middle East into violence on October 7, 2023. Finally, it is the primary patron of the Muslim Brotherhood, a global network of violent and nonviolent Islamist groups that seek the downfall of the West. 

To whitewash these offenses, the Qataris wield the Al-Jazeera Media Network, which broadcasts in multiple languages and multiple formats, to spread the regime’s messages. Al Jazeera’s U.S.-based affiliate, AJ+, has defied U.S. law for over five years by failing to register as a foreign agent.

It is for these reasons, and perhaps others, that Qatar’s massive investments in the United States should be scrutinized. Some of these investments include naked influence-peddling — from sponsorship of the annual congressional baseball game to annual White House correspondents’ dinner parties. The Qataris spend an enormous amount on lobby groups and public relations, which helps ensure that their investments continue with minimal scrutiny.

Perhaps most disturbing is the massive amount this small Islamic state has invested in American education. Qatar has half as many citizens as Washington, DC, has residents. Yet somehow, it has surpassed China as the largest foreign funder of American colleges and universities.

In an era of heightened cognitive combat, disinformation, and foreign influence, it is time for the United States government to look not just at China and Russia, but other autocratic states — and maybe democracies, too.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is a U.S. government body that scrutinizes investments by foreign governments in industries and businesses that could leave America vulnerable. It is time for CFIUS to address concerns about foreign influence in addition to national security risks.

The report by FDD provides a good first glimpse at Qatari dollars in America. It is certainly not the final word on the problem. But it should prompt a serious discussion. From there, one can only hope that a more serious national dialogue, followed by legislation or other government measures, can begin to tackle the problem.

America should be open to foreign direct investment, but not unwanted foreign influence. Qatar may only be one of many nondemocratic regimes seeking to buy sway in the USA.

Industrial Intifada

JFeed Staff JUN 1, 2026

A new anti-Israel campaign is publishing maps and location details of factories, ports, vessels and supply routes it claims are connected to Israel’s military infrastructure, while encouraging activists to disrupt those sites.

A new anti-Israel campaign is publishing maps and location details of factories, ports, vessels and supply routes it claims are connected to Israel’s military infrastructure, while encouraging activists to disrupt those sites.

The project, launched by Global Intifada under the name “Genocide Supply Chain,” claims to identify companies and transport routes involved in supplying military equipment to Israel. Its stated goal is to help activists “disarm” Israel by targeting the supply chain behind the IDF.

But the campaign’s scope appears broader than Israel-linked companies alone. Some Western defense firms with no known direct Israeli contracts are also listed, based on claims that they contribute to a wider defense ecosystem or could transfer technology through allied governments.

The map includes profiles of facilities, ports and companies, with claims about what each site produces and how it is allegedly connected to Israel. Each entry is given a confidence rating, reflecting how strongly the campaign says the information supports its claim.

Some targets have obvious Israel-related links, including facilities connected to Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems. Others are more indirect. One Glasgow shipyard was reportedly listed not because it builds vessels for Israel, but because it contributes to the broader “global naval design and technology ecosystem.” A Washington-based company was included despite the map acknowledging no known Israeli contracts, citing concern over possible technology transfer from the United States to Israel.

The campaign calls on dockworkers to refuse work connected to suspect vessels and encourages activists to organize pickets. It also promotes “direct action” alongside groups such as Palestine Action, whose actions have often included vandalism and sabotage against defense-linked sites.

Global Intifada’s messaging frames the campaign as part of a broader struggle against Israel, Western defense industries and what it calls one global war machine. It also seeks to reclaim the term “intifada,” arguing that it should be understood as resistance rather than terrorism.

The group appears to be closely connected to Gaza flotilla activist networks, including through joint social media activity and promotion of organizations involved in flotilla campaigns.

The publication of target maps raises concerns that anti-Israel activism is moving further from protest toward coordinated disruption and potential sabotage of industrial, maritime and defense infrastructure.

Proud to be Jewish

Please follow Tamas Vajda on Facebook. Please read this post slowly  and carefully  and please share  and urge your friends to do the same. His FB Page is rich in information and truth.

From a Jew whose mother was born in a concentration camp —Tamas Vajda

Let’s just say it plainly:

I’m not here to comfort your conscience. I’m not here to decorate your moral decay with kosher sprinkles. And I’m certainly not here to apologize for existing.

You’ve made your position clear.

You want dead Jews or, at the very least, silent ones. Quiet ones. Ones that don’t raise their voices, don’t raise their fists, don’t raise their flags.

We tried that. We tried being meek, compliant, grateful.We lit candles in basements. We whispered prayers behind closed doors. We hid our children.

We swallowed humiliation like bread and called it survival.

And still - you hunted us. You gassed our parents. You mocked our pain. You flattened our homes, stole our names, and then asked us to sign guestbooks at our own memorials.

Now you want us to go back to that?

You, the “enlightened” world, who can’t decide what a woman is but has bold opinions about Jewish self-defense.

You, who cries for the “Palestinian cause” while your cities crumble and your values rot, drunk on identity politics and TikTok revolutions.

You, who funds terrorists with one hand and lectures us about “restraint” with the other.

How generous of you to let us die with dignity.

Except this time - we won’t.

We’ve had our fill of your tolerance theater. We’re full up on your performative outrage, your fake tears, your fetish for “Jewish trauma” -as long as it’s historical, sanitized, and buried six feet under.

Well, sorry to disappoint. We’re alive. And we’re not in the mood to die quietly.

Yes, we are angry - incandescently angry. But don’t mistake that for hatred. Because here’s the part you always miss:- 

We still light candles. We still sing on Shabbat. We still name our children after those who never had graves. We still plant trees. We still build schools. We still write poems, cook for strangers, and cry when rockets fall.

We haven’t forgotten how to love. We just learned how to survive with a spine. The world taught us brutality. But we answered with resilience. The world tried to strip us of our humanity - and we responded by becoming guardians of it.

Yes, we carry rifles. We also carry stretchers. Yes, we fight wars. We also offer aid -even to those whose leaders pray for our destruction.

And every time you paint us as monsters, we keep showing up with bandages.

We are not the problem. We are the proof.The proof that you can endure every empire, every exile, every pogrom, every gas chamber - and still choose life.

But don’t confuse that choice with passivity.

We’re not your punching bag. We’re not your scapegoat. We’re not your lesson in historical guilt, your moral mascot, or your diversity hire.

We are a people who’ve buried enough children. And we are done listening to sermons from those who never sent theirs to war.

You ask, “Why are Jews so angry?”

Because we know the price of silence.
Because we’ve read the footnotes of your history books -the parts you leave out.
Because every time we dare to live with pride, you paint it as provocation.
Because you chant “From the river to the sea,” and pretend it’s poetry, not a death sentence.
Because we come back from the ashes - and that offends you more than our deaths ever did.

So no -we won’t go back into your moral cage.

We’ll build. We’ll sing. We’ll protect. We’ll celebrate life even when surrounded by those who worship death.

And if that makes you uncomfortable? Good.
Maybe you’ll finally pay attention. Because we’re not going anywhere.
Not for your comfort.
Not for your approval.
But for our children.
For our future.
For our eternity.

Am Yisrael Chai

Denial of Hamas's October 7 Sexual Atrocities Must STOP!

 Full article at https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-895834

For over two years, the screams of the victims of October 7 have been met with a chilling and selective silence from much of the international community. Today, that silence is shattered by the weight of an unprecedented evidentiary archive. The release of the landmark report titled “Silenced No More: Sexual Terror Unveiled: The Untold Atrocities of October 7 and Against Hostages in Captivity” marks a definitive turning point in the struggle for truth.

Commissioned by the Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes by Hamas against Women and Children, this document is the result of a rigorous independent investigation led by Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy, the 2024 Israel Prize laureate.

Supported by a team of legal giants, including former Canadian minister of justice and attorney-general Irwin Cotler and former UN chief prosecutor David Crane, the Commission has synthesized a staggering volume of evidence. The archive contains over 430 testimonies, 1,800 hours of visual analysis, and 10,000 photographs.

The report identifies 13 distinct patterns of abuse, establishing that sexual and gender-based violence was not incidental. Instead, it was a systematic and deliberate component of the Hamas assault, used to amplify terror through digital dissemination and the horrific practice of kinocide, which is the weaponization of family members to witness the degradation of their loved ones.

As we digest these findings, we must recognize two competing truths. First, we still do not and may never understand the full extent of these horrors.

We must take the time to really ponder and remember the individual suffering of the victims. This is not a matter of policy but of profound human agony that demands our undistracted collective memory. Irrefutable proof must stop denialism

With the release of this irrefutable proof, let this be the final day of October 7 denialism. For months, the world has watched as high-profile figures used their massive platforms to cast doubt on the suffering of Israeli women. Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters, just one of many, has been among the most vocal, publicly claiming there is “no evidence” of Hamas rapes and dismissing the testimonies of survivors and first responders as “filthy, disgusting lies.”

When global feminist organizations and UN bodies waited months to even acknowledge these atrocities, they provided a shield for Hamas and signaled worldwide that the slogan “Believe Women” has a geographic and political limit.

This report removes that shield once and for all. It demands that the world stop asking for “more evidence” when the archives are already overflowing with it.

There is, however, a profound note of hope within these harrowing pages. The report’s extensive legal analysis provides a clear evidentiary basis for the investigation and prosecution of these acts as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocidal acts under international law.

The perpetrators of this mass-scale sexual violence must be brought to justice. Now, armed with the truth, we must ensure they are heard in the halls of justice. The era of denial must end, replaced by an era of accountability and a deep international commitment to honoring the memory of those who suffered the unthinkable.

 

 

The Oldest Hatred is back with a Vengeance

 The oldest hatred is back, and I am absolutely done with this [and I should] get angry and then get angrier.

Andrew Fox April 20th

 

I am done pulling punches. This will not be an easy read. Do not look away.

[To  hell with] this. I am furious at the antisemitism pouring through the West, confident and shameless, and at those who know it is wrong, yet sit by and let it happen and say or do absolutely nothing.

In Britain, we have already had Jews and their security guards stabbed to death. Jewish ambulances were set on fire. Now we have had multiple synagogue fire bombings in London. I woke this morning to a WhatsApp message from a Jewish friend I treasure, telling me about the latest atrocity against British Jews. I am sick of this. I am sickened by it, and I do not understand how anyone with any decency is not sickened too. Why are we not angrier?

Jewish people are being forced to answer, again, for every accusation, every fantasy, every blood libel hurled at the State of Israel. A Jewish student in London, Paris, New York or Melbourne is treated as if they sat in the Israeli war cabinet. A synagogue is treated as if it were a military installation. A kosher restaurant becomes a proxy battlefield. A Jewish child in a school uniform is expected to carry the moral weight of a war they did not start, a government they did not elect, and a region most of their accusers could not find on a map without help. It is grotesque. It is ancient hatred with new slogans. I am angry, and you should be too. If you are reading this, why [the hell] are you not angrier?

Holocaust survivors have told me in person that the atmosphere in Britain today is like 1930s Germany. Why will our leaders, our government, our legal system not listen to them? The Holocaust did not arrive fully formed. It started with demonisation, isolation and undeserved blame.

[It’s Time to Wake Up].

The blood libels are back. They have just been laundered through the language of activism, human rights and moral urgency. Jews are again cast as uniquely cruel, uniquely conspiratorial, uniquely bloodthirsty. Israel is accused not merely of error, not merely of brutality, not merely of war, but of metaphysical evil. Every casualty is flattened into proof of Jewish depravity. Every complexity is erased. Every Hamas or Hezbollah or Iranian atrocity is contextualised into mist. Jewish grief is interrogated. Jewish fear is mocked. Jewish self-defence is treated as criminal.

The most sickening expression of this is the obscene inversion of the Holocaust in Gaza. Gaza is not the Holocaust. Gaza is not Auschwitz. Gaza is not Treblinka. Gaza is not the industrialised, continent-wide mechanical attempt to exterminate an entire people. Gaza is not the murder of six million people because they were Jews. Gaza is not children selected for gas chambers, families shot into pits, communities erased from Europe, nor names turned to ash. To compare the war in Gaza to the attempted extermination of the Jewish race is an obscene desecration. There is no parallel. None whatsoever.

Civilian suffering in Gaza or Lebanon is simply a feature of [a terrorist organization that went to] war. It can be real without turning Jews into Nazis. War can be horrific without becoming the Shoah. Palestinians can be mourned without stealing the language of Jewish annihilation and weaponising it against Jews. The Holocaust is not a metaphor for anyone’s rhetorical convenience. It was a specific crime, committed against a specific people, at a specific scale, with a specific ideological purpose: the eradication of Jews from the earth. To invert it against Jews now is morally obscene.

Everyone in the West should stand with their Jewish neighbours. They should stand with Jews because Jews are being threatened, harassed, isolated and collectively blamed for the actions of a state. They should stand with Jews because history has already shown us where this road leads when decent people find a thousand elegant reasons to look away.

Silence is permission. When Jewish schools need guards, when students hide Stars of David, when families wonder whether it is safe to walk to synagogue, and when mobs chant slogans that make Jews feel hunted in the cities they call home, when Jewish ambulances and places of worship are being firebombed, the moral test is not complicated. Stand with Jews, or admit that your principles are worth piss in the wind.

The absence of solidarity is a stain. The refusal to name antisemitism because it wears a fashionable political mask is a stain. The cowardice of institutions, politicians, universities and cultural figures who can identify every hatred except this one is a stain.

What the [bloody hell] are we doing, Britain? Why are we not angrier? Why are we not forming human shields around our Jewish community? Our grandparents fought a global war so that this could never happen again. It is literally happening again, and we are standing by and doing absolutely nothing.

I am angry because Jews should not have to beg for support. Jews should not feel they have to thank someone merely for showing solidarity with them. I am raging because “Never Again” has become a slogan people applaud, yet it fails when courage is demanded. I am angry because standing by Jews is the only right option, and too many otherwise good, decent people are choosing silence, disregard or antipathy.

Look: I cannot say this anymore simply. Once they are done with the Jews, they are coming for you, too. Get [really] angry before it is too late, if not for the Jews, then for yourselves and your children

How bad does it have to get before Jews finally leave?

For full article go to https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-893268

If you’re a parent of a British six-year-old Jewish student who is called a “baby killer” by her classmates, shouldn’t that be enough evidence that your child has no future in that school or, for that matter, in a country where such outrageous bigotry is clearly expressed in the home?

Or what about in New York City resident lives with the statistic that 55% of confirmed hate crimes in their city are antisemitic? 

Or you’re a Jewish Canadian business owner whose restaurant was shot up for the second time?

Then there’s Europe, where thousands of antisemitic incidents have been recorded, sometimes several times a day, in cities such as Berlin, London, Manchester, Amsterdam, and Antwerp – necessitating the need for armed soldiers to be deployed, just to guarantee the safety of their Jewish communities.

Of course, it wasn’t that long ago that Sydney became Ground Zero for a mass attack against 1,000 Jews, trying to observe a Hanukkah lighting ceremony at Bondi Beach. Would that be the final nail in the coffin for you to conclude that Down Under is not a safe place for a Jew?

Is it time for Jews to leave?

All of these disturbing and deadly incidents, which have been systematically perpetrated on the Jewish community after the most horrific of all attacks since the Holocaust, should alert every Jew living outside of Israel that a threshold has been reached, causing them to realize that their departure should be imminent.

Sadly, the tipoff came pretty quickly. Because the moment that the response to a gruesome and barbaric attack was to blame Jews for having instigated what took place, that was the time to figure out that moral clarity was no longer at work.

As the cruel and unimaginable details were revealed, none of them made any difference to a public that either needed very little to be convinced that Jews are the villains, or who always felt that way, but now had their opportune moment to freely express those hidden, shocking sentiments.

NONETHELESS, JEWS throughout the world persisted in believing that this is a passing phase that would disappear as mysteriously as it had emerged. All they needed was to wait it out, and everything would return to the way things were. Not only didn’t that happen, but the intensity has actually escalated, providing all the proof that is needed to understand that the world has gone mad, yet again.

While there are those few voices, such as Douglas Murray, Mosab Hassan Yousef, Yoseph Hadad, John Fetterman, Patricia Heaton, Dr. Phil, and several other prominent individuals, there are not enough of them to hold back the floodgates of Jewish hatred that are trying to overtake the planet.

For anyone who thinks that an Israel at war with Iran and Hezbollah is even riskier than remaining in their dangerous cities, they should know that fighting a distant enemy is not the same as battling a pervasive, toxic atmosphere that surrounds them day and night. The time to leave is now!

 

Trump and the End of Tehran's Illusion

• If this war stops with the regime still standing, still organized, and still capable of rebuilding, Tehran will do what it always does: declare survival a victory, turn endurance into propaganda, and return more dangerous than before. A wounded regime is not a reformed regime. It is often a more vindictive one.
• A ceasefire that leaves the regime structurally intact is not peace. It is an intermission. It is a guarantee that the same threat will return in altered form, demanding a higher price later. But military pressure alone cannot write the final chapter. That chapter belongs to the Iranian people.
• Trump has already helped shatter the myth that Tehran is untouchable. He should not now allow the regime to survive this war by pretending survival is strength. He should finish the job.
• It must end with Iran's terror state broken, America's allies strengthened, deterrence restored, and the opening of a different future for Iran and for the Middle East.

Israel’s Right to Exist

 The question of whether Israel exists by "right" is a central, deeply contested issue in international politics, law, and philosophy. Perspectives on this claim range from legal recognition to moral, historical, and ideological arguments. 

 Here is a breakdown of the different viewpoints based on current discourse:

1.    1. Legal and Diplomatic Perspective (Recognition by Right)

 UN Recognition: Israel was admitted as a member state of the United Nations on May 11, 1949. Under international law, this recognized its sovereignty and legitimacy.

• International Recognition: As of early 2026, Israel is recognized as a sovereign state by approximately 163 of the 192 other United Nations member states.
• The Oslo Accords: In the 1990s, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) officially recognized Israel's right to exist in peace and security, a cornerstone for diplomacy, according to the U.S. Department of State. 

2. Legal Skepticism (No Inherent "Right")

 International Law Argument: Many scholars argue that international law does not confer an inherent "right to exist" on any state. States are created, recognized, or dissolved based on historical, political, and military factors, rather than a codified legal right.

• Unique Application: Some critics and commentators note that Israel is often the only country asked to defend its "right to exist," a phrase that is rarely applied to other nations.
• Challenging the Basis: Some observers, such as those at the Mises Institute, argue that existence is not a legal right but a geopolitical reality, according to mises.org. 

3. Historical and Ideological Perspectives

 Self-Determination: Proponents argue that Israel exists by the right of Jewish self-determination, fulfilling a historical and religious connection to the land. This includes references to the Balfour Declaration and the UN Partition Plan of 1947.

• Contested Legitimacy: Opponents often point to the Nakba (the displacement of Palestinians in 1948) to challenge the legality of Israel's founding, arguing it was achieved through the violation of Palestinian rights, according to Jewish Voice for Labour. 

4. Current Context (Right to Exist vs. Right of Function)

• Right to Security: Many defenders emphasize that Israel’s right to exist is synonymous with the right of Jewish people not to be targeted and to have a secure state, a position reinforced by groups like the Israel Policy Forum.
• Conditions of Existence: Some, including many critics and human rights organizations (e.g., Amnesty International), argue that while Israel may exist, its actions—such as occupation, settlement expansion, and policies in the West Bank and Gaza—violate international law. 

In summary, for many, Israel's existence is a legitimate right based on international law and self-determination. For others, particularly critics of its policies, the focus is on challenging the legitimacy of its actions rather than its mere existence, or arguing that no state has an inherent "right" to exist. 

How Soroka Hospital Managed Two Mass-Casualty Events in Quick Succession

Such events are particularly complex, as many patients suffer minor physical injuries or psychological trauma but cannot be discharged promptly because they have nowhere to go.

As nearly 200 wounded Israelis arrived at Soroka Medical Center on Saturday following Iranian missile attacks on the southern cities of Dimona and Arad, Prof. Roy Kessous, deputy director of the hospital, described how staff managed two mass-casualty events in quick succession.

At 7 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m., the hospital received alerts following a missile strike on Dimona. From that incident alone, 60 casualties were brought in, including a severely wounded 12-year-old boy who was transferred directly from initial assessment to surgery and remains in intensive care.

Kessous said the hospital is experienced in handling such situations, having dealt with multiple mass-casualty incidents in recent years.

“Very quickly, we implemented the appropriate protocols and mobilized both on-site medical personnel and staff from home,” he told JNS.

He noted that such events are particularly complex, as many patients suffer minor physical injuries or psychological trauma but cannot be discharged promptly because they have nowhere to go.

“Many of them had their homes destroyed in the missile strike. With the help of administrative teams and municipal services, we gradually discharged patients to safe locations for the night,” he said.

Shortly after the Dimona incident, the hospital was notified of another missile strike, this time on Arad. A total of 115 patients were transferred to Soroka, including 70 children. Nine were listed in serious condition, with at least twice that number moderately wounded. Many of the casualties were members of the same families.

To reduce additional distress, hospital staff compiled lists to group relatives together and ensure they were treated in proximity.

Patients arrived with blast injuries and wounds caused by missile fragments. Others were injured in falls from higher floors or while attempting to reach protected areas.

Kessous said one of the main challenges stemmed from Health Ministry directives requiring treatment to take place in protected spaces, limiting the hospital’s overall capacity.

“We are minimizing ambulatory services and have almost entirely halted elective procedures over the past three weeks,” he said. During mass-casualty incidents, the hospital closely monitors intake to avoid exceeding capacity.

“We are not alone—we have support from the Health Ministry and the Clalit Health Services. We continuously assess the number of incoming patients and determine whether transfers to other hospitals across Israel are necessary,” he said.

Capacity, Kessous added, is not defined by a fixed number, but depends on the volume and severity of incoming cases, as well as available staff—though staffing has not been a limiting factor, given the hospital’s size.

“At one point yesterday, ambulances and even a helicopter were waiting as we assessed whether transfers were needed. Fortunately, we were able to treat everyone here,” he said. “We prioritized keeping families together and avoided separating children from their parents.”
