No go, Joe: Putting the UN in charge of Gaza would be a sick joke
DIN: This idiotic idea of putting the UN in charge is not a new one, this was actually proposed seriously by R' Yoel Teitelbaum z"l in his book "Al Hagilah" and in his Va'Yoel Moshe, and Der Goy the Satmar Yiddish Weekly still keeps pushing this "farkakte" proposal.
The Biden administration is pressuring Israel to define its plan for “the day after.”
This is a bit like demanding America have a plan for postwar Japan weeks after Pearl Harbor.
But worse, Washington insists the end goal of Israel’s war be the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Understanding how unlikely Israel is to accept this suicidal proposal, Secretary of State Antony Blinken suggests it turn Gaza over to a United Nations peacekeeping force or other multinational presence.
President Biden just called for the “international community” to provide “interim security measures.”
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon literally has “interim” in its name and has been failing at its job since 1978.
The idea of international forces in Gaza repeats decades of mistakes.
In every single case, UN forces and agencies failed to provide Israel any security and were coopted and used by its enemies.
Israel raids terrorists’ luxury homes, take over parliament and police HQs in Gaza
Israel raided Hamas terrorists’ luxury homes and parliament and police headquarters in Gaza City on Sunday, taking control of the sites and uncovering a slew of weapons and tunnel entrances below them.
Israeli paratroopers and armored units descended on the neighborhoods of Sheikh Ijlin and Rimal, executing a series of rocket launches and raids in the heart of Gaza City, where Hamas has maintained power since 2007.
Much of the once-affluent area was already leveled by Israeli air strikes since the war began last month, but the Israel Defense Forces said it still encountered several Hamas operatives in Sheikh Ijlin and Rimal and killed them while also raiding some wealthy terrorist homes.
The IDF said it found 35 tunnel shafts in the area leading to Hamas’ 300-mile underground network, along with dozens of weapon stashes, The Jerusalem Post reported.
In addition, the IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade and Golani Infantry Brigade successfully took control of Hamas’ parliament building, its entire government complex and its police headquarters, The Times of Israel said.
The IDF captured a Gazan university faculty building, too, that allegedly served to produce and develop weapons for the terrorist group.
A Hamas training base, command center, interrogation rooms and detention cells were commandeered as well by the advancing Israeli army.
Hamas officials have yet to comment on the fighting in Sheikh Ijlin and Rimal, as rolling communications blackouts have become the norm in Gaza.
Ramat Beit Shemesh Buries Our Hero Binyamin Airly Who Fell Fighting in Gaza
Rabbi David Bagno, Rabbi of the community in Ramat Beit Shemesh of fallen soldier Binyamin Meir Airly, who fought in Gaza, tells about his character.
"Just a pure boy. Really. I had a close relationship with him, not on a daily basis, but every time he came home. He study at the Hesder yeshiva in Tzfat, and when he came, we met, a hug and 'how are you and what's going on', a pure boy, a boy who wanted to do what's right. He wasn't interested in other things. He was just looking for what's right," he said in an interview with Esti Perez on Kan Reshet Bet.
Rabbi Bagno elaborated on Binyamin’s character, saying, "He was guided by doing what was right. His mother said that after they were notified [that he fell in battle], she looked for something in his room to hang on to, and she found almost nothing, he was that simple. We went shopping and I told him I will buy him clothes. He replied that there’s no need, that was the kind of child he was."
Rabbi Bagno had difficulty starting the interview with Perez due to his immense pain. "It's hard for me to speak. I have been the rabbi of the community for 13 years, I have been with him and the family since he was a child. The Mishkan Shilo community in Ramat Beit Shemesh is a Zionist Torah community, new immigrants, 90% of the community came from the US, England and other places. Very high quality idealistic people.”
"His father came from England and his mother from the US, a gentle, gentle family, all the purity and goodness that can be put in there. They are really, a very, very special family, with the ideal of being here in Israel and building their home here. Sending their children to institutions that combine army service and doing it as well as possible. That's who he was."
Asked if it was clear to Binyamin that he wanted to be a combat soldier, the rabbi replied, "Yes, his parents must have been worried. I remember that one Shabbat I walked with his mother after shul and we talked. She was very worried. It was clear, though, that this was the right thing to do. We have 30-40 soldiers from the community who are combat soldiers. Until you experience this and are hit with it, you can’t describe it. Everything broke. Literally."
In Toms River NJ Brazen Thieves Break Into Jewish Home Over Shabbos, Steal Over $300,000
A packed home in Toms River was burglarized over Shabbos, with thieves making off with hundreds of thousands of dollars in illicit proceeds – including a vehicle worth over $250,000.
The thieves broke into the home just before 4 am, and rummaged through it for valuables, including car keys, before making off about 20 minutes later.
The culprits were incredibly brazen, as all 8 rooms in the home were filled with people, including a baby room that they went through. The baby inside was thankfully not harmed.
The Chofetz Chaim to Rav Moshe Londinski on Eretz Yisroel
by Rabbi Yair Hoffman
On January 30th, 1933, seven and a half months before the Chofetz Chaim passed away (September 15th, 1933), Hitler yimach shmo was appointed the Chancellor of Germany.
At that time, Rav Moshe Londinski zt”l (1862-1938), one of the three Roshei Yeshiva of the Chofetz Chaim’s Yeshiva in Radin, inquired of the Chofetz Chaim, “What will be the fate of our brethren in Germany and in Poland?” Rav Londinski pointed out that Hitler y”s had been talking about destroying the entirety of Klal Yisroel for years.
The Chofetz Chaim responded that it is impossible for someone to succeed in wiping out Klal Yisroel in all the lands of the exile and he cited the pasuk (Bereishis 32:4-9) “’If Esav comes to the one camp and attacks it, the other camp will escape.”
At that point, Rav Moshe Londinski zt”l realized that the danger was quite grave. He asked further, “If Heaven forbid, he succeeds in wiping out European Jewry, who and where is the other camp that will survive?”
The Chofetz Chaim answered, “This too is a pasuk, it is in the beginning of the Navi Ovadiah (1:17), “And on Mount Zion there shall be a remnant, and it shall be holy..”
Rav Londinski left the Chofetz Chaim’s presence with his hands shaking on the future destruction of European Jewry, but he was assured that the Holy Land will be spared and no sword of the Nazi menace would pass before it.
Indeed, the beginning of the end for the Nazis y”s was when they set their eyes on Eretz Yisroel in 1942 and planned to conquer it and murder the half million Jews living there at the time (including the author’s mother).
They even brought a German SS officer, Walther Rauff, to Libya, who would do advance work for the Einsatzkommando unit which expected to join him and help murder the Jews of the Middle East once it was under full Nazi German control.. He was the one who had pioneered the using mobile killing vans in Nazi-occupied Soviet Union. Rauff had reached Tobruk on July 20th of 1942.
Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein shlita uses this statement of the Chofetz Chaim to encourage Yeshiva bochurim to remain in Eretz Yisroel during this rough period.
IDF Releases Footage of Hamas Hiding Hostages at Gaza’s Shifa Hospital
Hamas held at least three of the estimated 240 hostages kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists on Oct. 7 at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, the Israel Defense Forces revealed on Sunday night.
The military presented CCTV footage of the hostages being brought into the hospital, under which Hamas has built terror infrastructure.
IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said intelligence confirmed that Hamas terrorists “quickly” murdered Cpl. Noa Marciano at Shifa, after she was taken there with non-life-threatening injuries sustained during her captivity.
In addition to Marciano, two hostages from Nepal and Thailand were hidden at Shifa Hospital in the immediate aftermath of the Oct. 7 massacre, said Hagari.
