Israel Is Just the Pretext, The Real Target is the West

Why should anyone expect peace between the Palestinians and Israel while

a) Palestinian leaders glorify terrorism and armed groups continue to attack Israelis?

b) the Iranian regime is standing on its feet and supporting the jihad (holy war) to destroy Israel?

c) the continuing willingness of Palestinians to celebrate violence against Israelis while presenting terrorism as supposedly legitimate national resistance.

Israel is just the pretext. If you think that a Palestinian state, or an election defeat of the Israeli Prime Minister or even the disappearance of Israel itself — would solve anything, you would be wrong. What the West is up against is the desire of Muslim extremists, with a leg-up from Marxists, to overthrow the "corrupt" West and replace it with Islamic Sharia law and eventually global caliphate. Only after this transformation will the world have the "peace" part of the "Religion of Peace." Until then, as the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, vowed, "there will be struggle" (lit. jihad).

Reference the riots taking place in so many countries, a few clearly terrified leaders in the West  might think that if there were a Palestinian state, it might keep the mob quiet for a while. Yes, until breakfast. That is also why US President Donald Trump should not make a "deal" with the rulers of Iran.   

 1)     Hamas and other likeminded jihadists have no problem murdering civilians — whether in the US on 9/11, the London transit system, the Barcelona and Madrid attacks, Paris's Bataclan Theater, Nice on Bastille Day, German Christmas Markets, the Manchester concert or anywhere else.

2)        2)     Iran's regime has recently slaughtered more than 36,500 of its own citizens, and continues to kill — so why should they care if they inflict the same horrors on anyone else?

3)        3)     Palestinian factions such as Hamas and PIJ, like the protesters throughout the West, continue to regard violence as a source of pride and a means of advancing their primary objective — in Israel, the elimination of the "Zionist entity" (Israel), and in the rest of the world, overthrowing man-made (as opposed to Allah-made) infidel democracies.

4)        4)     The silence of the Palestinian Authority — and other Arab and Muslim leaders — is also significant.

Israel's countermeasures have indeed caused hardship for local residents. Where, though, is any denunciation of the attacks that caused Israel's security response?

The Palestinian people have been put — by their own leaders — in a horrible position of bearing the consequences of terrorist attacks while the Palestinian organizations that praise the attackers present themselves as champions of the people. They are not. Like the ruling butchers of Iran, they are holding the Palestinians and other Muslims hostage. If these captives hope to live, they cannot even protest.

The Palestinian Authority is frequently described by Western leaders and governments as a potential partner for peace. However, the Palestinian Authority is part of the problem; it is not the solution. Its long-standing policy of paying monthly stipends to Palestinian terrorists who murder or wound Jews ("Pay-for-Slay") makes it as rotten as Iran's Palestinian terrorist proxies – Hamas and PIJ, or all the other terrorist groups whether Al-Qaeda, ISIS or Antifa.

The international community might begin to understand that peace requires more than diplomatic declarations and initiatives, ceasefires, and promises of Palestinian statehood, especially for self-declared terrorists. Peace requires a total rejection of terrorism, of the people organizing it, of those who carry it out, and it requires a political leadership willing to put the lives and future of ordinary Palestinians — and innocent civilians whoever they are — ahead of the interests of terrorists and of their own incompetent political careers.

Help Refute the Claims of the Film NAZA.

On November 1st, the antisemitic propaganda film "NAZA" will begin its large-scale international distribution.

A massive worldwide release of this film is expected, which could turn it into a major propaganda attack against the Jewish people, Israel, and IDF soldiers.

This time, we want to get ahead of the lies before they spread all over the world! 

A group of exceptional Israeli filmmakers has produced "NAZA: The Real Story", a pro-Israel documentary that is already available. The work features DIRECT testimonies from IDF soldiers and battlefield footage, revealing a completely different reality that directly refutes the narrative presented in the antisemitic propaganda film.

There has been severe criticism and backlash from Israeli sources. 

• IDF Denials: The film presents a distorted and factually erroneous view of target planning and denied a central claim in the film's trailer that a strike was ever approved or planned with an expectation of 500 civilian fatalities. 

• "Blood Libel" Allegations: Israeli military chief condemned the film as being based on "blood libels" and "deliberate distortions of reality," 

• Anonymity and Whistleblowers: The 80-minute film relies on interviews with 24 anonymous, digitally altered Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers. Critics—including domestic journalists and military analysts—question the verification, context, and credibility of these unverified accounts. 

• Omission of Context: Critics argue that the film strips away crucial context of Hamas's tactics of using civilian human shields, and the operational reality of military counter-offensives.

• Disputed Casualty Figures: Discussions and forum analyses have challenged the film's casualty and collateral damage figures, arguing that claims regarding massive single-strike death tolls lack corroborating evidence and utilize Hamas’s propaganda figures 

What can we do??

1.     Watch the documentary via the link below, give it a "like" and leave a comment to help boost engagement and most importantly: share it with as many friends, family members, and communities as possible! Watch it here at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptk6uxfUQdA

    The goal is simple: by the time the antisemitic film reaches millions of people worldwide, the truth must already be within everyone's reach. The more views and engagement we generate now, the greater the chances that the Israeli documentary will reach a broader audience and be able to counter online antisemitic propaganda.

Shin Bet stops foreign interference campaign ahead of elections

 (With thanks to Israel National News)

The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced Thursday morning that numerous social media accounts identified as being used for foreign influence operations ahead of Israel's elections have been detected and removed in a joint operation with the State Prosecutor's Office Cyber Department and the Central Elections Committee.

The action against them was taken as part of efforts to prevent improper interference in Israel's electoral process.

As part of the joint operation, the three agencies worked to identify profiles that, according to their findings, were being used in attempts to influence the upcoming elections. Following their identification, measures were taken that resulted in the accounts being removed from social media platforms.

The Shin Bet emphasized that the operation was intended to protect the integrity of the elections and thwart attempts by foreign actors to influence Israel's democratic process.

The statement did not identify those responsible for the accounts, the countries from which the influence operations originated, the platforms on which the profiles operated, or the messages they disseminated.

The exact number of accounts removed was also not disclosed.

Efforts to counter foreign influence operations would continue the Shin Bet stressed.

Provocations Unlimited

 Once again, the media is having a field day in being able to blame Israel. Who is behind the constant provocations under the guise of the "olive harvest"? Why is there always a TV crew available for filming? Who are the overseas anarchists taking part? etc.,

Here we have yet another generously funded, carefully planned and well-organized campaign creating a false perception of a widespread phenomenon of violence by settlers in Judea and Samaria against Arab residents in the area.

Today, thanks to the proper actions of the IDF and the police, three provocation events were prevented in Judea and Samaria under the pretext of “olive harvest”:

1. The main event of the Palestinian Authority in the village of Deir Jarir – IDF forces thwarted the event, in which senior Palestinian Authority officials planned to participate, thanks to early intelligence on the organization.

2. Another event was prevented in Turmus Ayya near Ramallah – an event led by the anarchist Jonathan Pollak and dozens of Palestinians and journalists – and only two olive pickers.

3. An uncoordinated event, in an area that requires coordination near Beitar Illit, with dozens of participants including foreigners, among them a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Congress who wanted to make some headlines before the elections in the U.S. and ended up only partially satisfied. Dozens of participants were put on a bus back and the uncoordinated event was prevented.

Each of these events could have ended up as huge headlines in the mainstream media in Israel and abroad and caused cognitive damage to Israel.

Early intelligence for such events prevent terror attacks. The impact of “cognitive attacks” on Israel’s legitimacy in the world justifies allocating intelligence gathering resources to this issue.

Children's Education in Gaza

 

These books shown were seized from schools in Gaza during the war. 

The material raises a question every plan for Gaza’s future must 

confront: how do you undo years of indoctrination? Hamas has worked 

to embed its ideology far beyond its armed ranks, reaching children who should have been protected from it. That influence will survive the destruction of tunnels and the confiscation of weapons unless there is a sustained effort to 

challenge what children are taught. Gaza needs demilitarisation and deradicalisation. Rebuilding schools while leaving the teaching of hatred 

intact would help prepare the ground for another war. Palestinian children 

deserve the chance to grow up without being groomed to fight it.

Genocide - Really?

 

Durban Conference Shunned by 48 Countries

 The UN’s Durban Conference was set up in 2001 to advance the fight against racism, but it quickly turned into a platform for antisemitism and attacks on Israel.

The subsequent Goldstone report was relatively quickly dismissed by many as a distortion of the truth.

Following a diplomatic and advocacy campaign by the organisation  UN Watch, 48 countries chose not to take part in the UN’s 25th anniversary commemorative event. This is a significant achievement that shows how sustained advocacy can shape countries’ positions and reduce the legitimacy given to events promoting antisemitic and anti-Israel messages.
