Chief Rabbi Slams British Government Over Arms Embargo ... Rabbi Doesn't realize that British Always Hated Jews!

 

Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis slammed the British government’s decision to suspend some of its arms sales to Israel.

The Chief Rabbi posted on X: “It beggars belief that the British government, a close strategic ally of Israel, has announced a partial suspension of arms licenses, at a time when Israel is fighting a war for its very survival on seven fronts forced upon it on the 7th October, and at the very moment when six hostages murdered in cold blood by cruel terrorists were being buried by their families.”

“As Israel faces down the threat of Iran and its proxies, not just to its own people, but to all of us in the democratic west; this announcement feeds the falsehood that Israel is in breach of International Humanitarian Law, when in fact it is going to extraordinary lengths to uphold it. Sadly, this announcement will serve to encourage our shared enemies. It will not help to secure the release of the remaining 101 hostages, nor contribute to the peaceful future we wish and pray for, for all people in the region and beyond,” he added.

“Britain and Israel have so much to gain by standing together against our common enemies for the sake of a safer world. Surely that must be the way forward,” said Rabbi Mirvis.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced that the UK would be suspending some of its arms sales to Israel.

About 30 out of 150 licenses will be affected. “Facing a conflict such as this, it is this government’s legal duty to review Britain’s export licenses,” Lammy said. “This is not a blanket ban, this is not an arms embargo.”

In response, multiple Jewish groups and leaders in the UK have expressed their dismay at the decision by the British government. The Board of Deputies President Phil Rosenberg said that the organization “relayed our deep concern to the Government at the highest levels, about the decision, and its timing today, to institute a partial arms sales suspension against Israel.”

He said that, “The move, made on the day of the funerals of Israeli hostages murdered in cold blood by Hamas, risks sending a dangerous message to Hamas and other adversaries of the UK that they can commit appalling atrocities – condemned by the UK government – and yet still see Israel castigated.”

He added that he hoped “that ongoing engagement between Israel and the UK will see this decision reviewed at the earliest opportunity, and we will continue discussions with both governments to this effect.”

Netanyahu Holding Strong Against New Pressure ‘No One Will Preach to Me'

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday pushed back against a new wave of pressure to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza after hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested and went on strike and U.S. President Joe Biden said he needed to do more after nearly 11 months of fighting.

In his first public address since Sunday’s mass protests showed many Israelis’ furious response to the discovery of six more dead hostages, Netanyahu said he will continue to insist on a demand that has emerged as a major sticking point in talks — continued Israeli control of the Philadelphi corridor, a narrow band along Gaza’s border with Egypt where Israel contends Hamas smuggles weapons into Gaza. Egypt and Hamas deny it.

Netanyahu called the corridor vital to ensuring Hamas cannot rearm via tunnels. “This is the oxygen of Hamas,” he said.

And he added: “No one is more committed to freeing the hostages than me. … No one will preach to me on this issue.’

CNN, NBC Face Backlash for ‘Vile’ Headlines Reporting Murder of Hamas’s Hostages — Journalism ‘Has Died


Mainstream media outlets, including CNN, NBC, and USA Today, are facing intense backlash for what have been called misleading and “vile” headlines about the brutal murder of six hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, Breitbart reports.

On Sunday, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari announced the hostages had been cruelly murdered by Hamas as Israeli soldiers closed in on their location, possibly based on intelligence provided by a hostage rescued last week.

The six hostages, whose bodies were found Motzoei Shabbos in a tunnel underneath Gaza — including American Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin — were discovered in Rafah, the same city that Vice President Kamala Harris had told Israel not to enter.

But mainstream media outlets, including CNNNBC, and USA Today, covering the recovery of the bodies, sparked outrage by initially reporting that one of the victims had “died” rather than had been “murdered.”

The cause of the hostages’ death was not clear for about 90 minutes after Hersh Goldberg-Polin was first revealed to be among the victims, which is why some outlets may have been reluctant to use the word “murder.” Mainstream media headlines currently reflect reports by Israeli authorities that the hostages were murdered. However, screen grabs of the initial headlines continued to spark outrage after reports emerged on Sunday that Hamas terrorists had shot each of the six hostages in the head before Israeli soldiers could rescue them.

Labour Court Orders Leftists To stop Strike ASAP!

 The Labor Court on Monday afternoon ordered the Histadrut labor union to stop its general strike before 2:30 p.m., even though the union asked to continue striking until 6:00 p.m.

That said, the judges refrained from issuing injunctions against strikers.

The judges ruled that the strike was politically motivated. "It is clear that we are dealing with a political strike. In the strike declaration, we did not find any economic claim. The Histadrut's arguments before us regarding an economic aspect were not compelling since they did not explain the connection between the killing of hostages by evil men and the financial aspect of the economy."

Histadrut Chairman Arnon Bar-David conceded: "We live in a state of laws, and we respect the court's decision, therefore, I instruct everyone to return to work at 2:30. It is important to note that the solidarity strike was an important move and I stand behind it."

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich commented on the ruling: "The court accepted our stance and ruled that the Histadrut's strike is political and illegal. The workers of Israel who showed up at work en-masse today proved that the days of the union's political servitude are over. You can not harm the Israeli economy and serve Sinwar and Hamas' interests."

Hamas Indoctrinates Israel’s Crazed Leftists

 

Hamas has warned that the rest of the Israeli hostages in its possession holding could end up sharing the same fate as pilot Ron Arad who went missing in 1986.

“Netanyahu is encouraging the emergence of dozens of new Ron Arads,” Hamas said on its Telegram channel.

The message reveals just how deeply massacre mastermind Yahya Sinwar understands public dynamics inside Israel, and how many useful idiots are ready to do his bidding. To a small enclave of very active and very heavily sponsored Israeli anarchists, the country’s enemy number one is not Hamas, it is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

On October 16, 1986, IAF navigator Ron Arad Arad and pilot Yishai Aviram were on a mission to attack PLO targets in Southern Lebanon. A bomb dropped by their F-4 Phantom II exploded prematurely, causing damage to the aircraft and forcing both crewmen to eject. Aviram was located by an Israeli Cobra chopper, and he escaped by clinging to one of its landing skids as it flew away under heavy enemy fire. Arad was captured by the Lebanese Islamist militia Amal and was taken to Beirut. In 1987, three letters in Arad’s handwriting and two photos of a bearded Arad were received, proving he was alive. The Israeli government negotiated for his release, but talks failed in 1988, and since then there has been no credible information about Arad’s whereabouts.

There were rumors that Arad was shipped to Iran, where he died in the Mullahs’ captivity.

Ron Arad was used before, by the movement that urged PM Netanyahu to surrender to Hamas and release more than 1,000 terrorists, many with Jewish blood on their hands, in exchange for Gilad Shalit. The campaign succeeded, and among the terrorists who were released was Yahya Sinwar. 

This is essentially what Sinwar is threatening to do: not just murder the hostages in cold blood, as he has done over the weekend, but to make them disappear so their families won’t even be able to bury their bodies.

This is just the next slogan the anarchists needed, and they will start echoing it around the clock.

Hamas’s manipulative line is that the six hostages whose bodies were found by the Israeli military in a tunnel near Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip “were to be released during the first stage of the deal of their exchange for prisoners,” but the Israeli PM “opted in favor of the control over the Philadelphi Corridor instead of releasing his hostages.”

Hamas claims that the six hostages were killed by IDF bombardments, but Israel’s health ministry’s forensic examination indicated that the six had been shot dead from point-blank range two or three days earlier, on August 29 or 30.

Yair Golan, former IDF Deputy Chief of Staff, Chairman of the Labor Party, and founder of the new Democrats party (with Meretz), responded to the attempted general strike declared by the Histadrut labor union, tweeting: “Striking the economy is called for, progress in the right direction is extremely important. As long as there is no deal – the strike should continue.”

In other words, to follow Golan’s logic, Yahya Sinwar now has control over Israel’s economy: as long as Netanyahu refuses to surrender to his terms, Hamas is keeping the economy down.

I hesitate to call Yair Golan a useful idiot for fear of insulting all the other useful idiots out there.

“We’re A Step Away From Oct. 7th In Yehudah & Shomron"

 

Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich, a member of Israel’s political-security cabinet, visited the site of the terror attack on Sunday morning near Chevron in which three police officers were murdered by terrorists, including one whose daughter was murdered battling Hamas terrorists in Sderot on October 7.

Smotrich said at the site of the attack:

 “Here, where three police officers were murdered in cold blood, I appeal to the Prime Minister, members of the government and security officials: We’re a step away from an October 7th in Yehudah and Shomron, chalilah. We have an opportunity to do this time what we didn’t do in Gaza on the night between October 6th and 7th. We are receiving much more than indicative signs.”

“The IDF must wage an all-out war in Yehudah and Shomron, not only in northern Shomron – here in Chevron, Yehudah, Gush Etzion and everywhere. Restore the checkpoints, break free of the ‘conceptizia,’ and eradicate terror.

“The terror in Gaza, Lebanon and Yehudah and Shomron is one, part of the same Iranian chokehold that seeks to destroy the State of Israel. We will launch settlements in Yehudah and Shomron, cut off the hope that drives Arab terrorism, establish sovereignty in Yehudah and Shomron, and yes, we will eliminate terrorism on all fronts.

“After three decades of the ‘there is no military solution to terrorism’ campaign, we are proving in Gaza that there is a military solution to terrorism. We must prove it here in Yehudah and Shomron and in Lebanon against Hezbollah,” Smotrich concluded.

Three Boys Bar-Mitzva Together Killed In the Same Year For Being Jews!


In the photo above, three classmates from Himmelfarb High School in Jerusalem—Aner Shapira, Ben Zussman, and Hersh Goldberg-Polin, stand as symbols of extraordinary heroism.

Aner is a hero of Israel who, on October 7th, defended a protective shelter near Re’im from eight grenades to protect the lives of 30 young people hiding there, until the ninth grenade took his life.

Ben is a hero of Israel who volunteered to fight without being called up for reserve duty. He fought bravely in Gaza as a combat engineer and fell on December 3rd. In his will, he wrote: "I always said that if I had to die, I hope it will be in defense of others and the country."

Hersh is a hero of Israel who was kidnapped on October 7th, gravely injured after losing his hand, and survived over 300 days in Hamas captivity, enduring endless torture, before being executed in a tunnel along with five other hostages.

Their stories are a testament to Israeli heroism and the profound pain that has endured since October 7th.
