IDF Finds Some of the Terrorists that were Directly Involved in Oct 7

 

The Israeli military has released photos of soldiers destroying a well-known statue glorifying the deaths of Israeli soldiers and a separate image showing what it says are 20 militants detained in an arrest raid.

The army said it destroyed the statue in the Shijaiyah neighborhood, which depicted a fist coming out of an armored personnel carrier and three military dog tags.

One of the dog tags had the name of Oron Shaul, an Israeli soldier who was killed during fighting in the Gaza City neighborhood in 2014. His remains have been held by Hamas since then.

The Israeli military also shared footage of what it said were Gaza militants detained during an operation inside a school on Friday.

Around 20 detainees are shown in the photo, kneeling and wearing white jumpsuits. Nine have red circles around their heads and are identified as Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants.

The Israeli military said some of the detainees, who were taken for interrogations by Israeli intelligence, participated in the Oct. 7 attack that sparked the war with Hamas. The cross-border attack killed some 1,200 people and kidnapped 240 others.

INSANE: US leaves open possibility of Hamas retaining power

 

The U.S. State Department on Thursday refused to rule out the possibility of the Hamas terrorist organization retaining power or joining a Palestinian Authority-led governing body for the Gaza Strip, Judea and Samaria.

“We have been clear about our position on Hamas, which the United States designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997 due to its premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets,” a U.S. government spokesperson told JNS.

However, “Palestinians’ voices and aspirations must be at the center of post-crisis governance in Gaza, unified with the West Bank under the P.A.,” the spokesperson said, adding, “Ultimately, the future of Palestinian leadership is a question for the Palestinian people.

“We remain committed to working with the P.A. and Palestinian leadership on the critical work of strengthening Palestinian institutions … and reinforcing commitments to nonviolence and countering terrorism,” concluded the official.

On Nov. 8, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Gaza must be handed over to the P.A. once Israel’s operation there ends. The solution “must include Palestinian-led governance and Gaza unified with the West Bank under the P.A.,” stated Blinken.

Nearly Half of Jews Considered Leaving UK Due to Jew Hate

 

Nearly half of British Jews have considered leaving the UK since October 7, according to staggering new data.

The polling by the Campaign Against Antisemitism, was conducted from November 12-17 among 3,744 respondents.

Following the Hamas massacre in Israel, 48% of respondents, including 17% who strongly agreed, said they had considered leaving the UK due to antisemitism. 34% disagreed.

69% of UK Jews agree (40% strongly) that they were less likely than before the massacre to show visible signs of their Jewishness. 15% disagreed, and the rest did not say.

Respondents were asked if they or someone they knew, had experienced or witnessed an antisemitic incident since October 7. 61% responded in the affirmative.

Regarding the statement, “Antisemitic hate crime is treated by the police in the same way as other forms of hate crime,” two-thirds disagreed, almost a third strongly; 16% agreed; and 18% neither agreed nor disagreed.

91% agreed that they would “avoid traveling to a city center if a major anti-Israel demonstration was taking place there”.

When asked if they were “satisfied with the BBC’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas crisis,” 86% said that they weren’t, including 71% who felt strongly. Only 4% were satisfied, including 1% very satisfied, and 4% didn’t express an opinion.

The remaining respondents said they did not watch or listen to the BBC or read its website.

Regarding the statement, “I feel personally connected to events happening in Israel,” 97% agreed, 78% strongly; no one disagreed, and only 2% expressed no opinion.

Biden will deny visas to Israelis that oppose Two State Solution

 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has announced visa restrictions on Israelis in response to “settler violence.”

Britain and Belgium plan to follow suit, and other European Union countries will likely jump on the blacklist bandwagon.

The United States frequently uses such visa restrictions to block those guilty of gross human-rights abuses, tyrannical foreign despots and nationals of state sponsors of terrorism.

But this is a far cry from that — it’s simply a big step in the Obama-Biden administrations’ deep delegitimization of those who oppose a “two-state solution.”

The president has broad power to deny entry to foreign nationals — despite the furor over President Donald Trump’s executive orders in this area.

PAYBACK: Cyberattack Cripples Iranian Gas Stations After Attempted Attack On Israeli Hospital

 

A group known as “Gonjeshke Darande,” or “predatory sparrow” in Persian, which has been previously linked to Israel, took responsibility Monday for a cyberattack that crippled around 70% of gas stations in Iran.

The group claims to have disabled a significant portion of Iran’s gas pumps in what they describe as a response to aggression by Iran and its regional proxies.

“Khamenei, playing with fire has a price,” the group said in a statement released in Persian and English.

Iranian state media confirmed that several gas stations in Tehran ceased operations, saying that a “software malfunction” forced them to shut.

Gonjeshke Darande has previously claimed responsibility for a cyber attack on Iran’s major steel companies. During that attack, Israeli military correspondents, typically briefed off-the-record by senior Israeli officials, hinted at potential Israeli involvement. A cyberattack on Iran’s fuel distribution system in 2021 paralyzed gas stations across the country, leading to long lines of angry motorists. The hacking group claimed responsibility for the attack on fuel pumps.

Interestingly, the cyberattack occurred almost at the same time as Israel’s Cyber Directorate announced that Iran and Hezbollah were behind a cyberattack on the Ziv Medical Center in Tzfas last month.

“In a joint effort by the cyber directorate, the IDF, the Shin Bet, and the Health Ministry and hospital teams, the attack was stopped before it could achieve its goal of disrupting the hospital’s operations and harming the medical care of civilians,” Israeli officials said.

“However,” the officials added, “it was found that the group stole some sensitive information stored in the hospital’s systems.”

Jackson NJ Residents Don't want Chareidim There. "they are taking Over"

 

In a distressing display of hate, a recent council meeting in Jackson Township was marred by anti semitic rhetoric targeting the Orthodox Jewish community, raising concerns about the state of community relations in the Jewish area.

During the meeting, shocking comments were made, including references to a “cultural genocide” and accusations of a “hostile takeover” by the Orthodox community in Jackson Township. The divisive remarks took aim at the Orthodox Jewish community, igniting tensions and casting a dark shadow over what should be a forum for constructive dialogue.

One of the particularly alarming statements involved calls to bar an Orthodox council member from voting, highlighting a troubling attempt to marginalize a representative based on their religious affiliation. Such exclusionary sentiments go against the principles of inclusivity and equal representation that form the foundation of a democratic society.

Talkline With Zev Brenner with Satmar Ger Yechiel Bloyd who left Judaism on why he joined and left

 DIN: After listening to the entire interview, not once but twice, I am convinced that he is a bonafide sicko. He refuses to explain anything. Zev keeps harping that the Rabbis who Zev knows all said that at the time of Giur, He was 100 % committed. 

So let me tell you something. I know those Rabbis as well and I can tell you that this is not the first time they have been duped, והמבין יבון! 

The fact that he got his "little one" cut and that is supposedly proof positive that he was genuine means absolutely nothing, there are millions of people who do crazy things with their bodies, especially in this sick society. All it proves is that he is a very sick puppy. Why did he marry a 50 year old woman knowing that as a  Jew he has an obligation to have children? BTW this itself shows that he is not playing with a full deck. Didn't the good rabbis see this obvious contradiction? 

I don't think that he finished shas, I think he read thru it like someone reading "ashrei" ... He said that he learned "kisvei Ari"? And then he accepts JC all over again? I don't buy it. I believe that those rabbis know they have been duped and are now defending themselves, after they watched him  making a laughing stock of them. Those rabbis should quit the Giur business just for this story alone. They have no business converting anyone. Some of the callers had some great points, and his answers were vague or nonexistent. Sick Sicko .. 

70% of Chareidim Polled say that a man who isn't learning Torah should enlist

 

73% of haredim believe themselves part of Israel's national destiny due to the war, according to a new survey conducted across a broad range of haredi communities and viewpoints by the Haredi Policy Research Institute.

75% believe themselves to be part of the 'story of Israel' and are in favor of increasing haredi participation in Israeli society. &0% believe that someone who is not learning Torah should find a way to contribute to the state through military or civilian service, and support for haredi enlistment in the IDF or other security services has risen 20% recently.

The survey shows that the sense of belonging to the nation's destiny rose with the tendency to define themselves as modern over conservative.

53% of the haredi community believes that the haredim need to waive the coalition funds for their community due to the war. 19% believe that this should apply to all the funds, and 34% believe that education should be exempted.

85% of the community finds it important that the secular community view the haredi community favorably. 32% favored increasing haredi participation in Israeli society, and 44% believe that the relationship between haredim and Israeli society should not change.

Enlistment in the IDF has risen by 20% since the beginning of the war, and 29% of the haredi community support enlisting haredim in the IDF.

Harris Poll Finds 51% of Americans Ages 18-24 Want Israel ‘Ended and Given to Hamas’

 

Let’s put it this way: if some rare disease had swept through America, killing everyone 25 and older, it would become very inhospitable for Jews. A survey conducted online by The Harris Poll and HarrisX within the United States from December 13-14 among 2,034 registered voters, asked, “Do you think that the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian dispute is for Arab states to absorb the Palestinians, for there to be two states, Israel and Palestine, or for Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians?” and, God help us, 51% of respondents ages 18-24 preferred “for Israel to be ended.”

Now, among respondents ages 25-34, only 31% picked the “Israel be ended” option, ages 35-44 were even less enthusiastic – 24%, and the fate of Israel was safe with the 55-64 crowd – only 13% want it annihilated, and the 65+ are truly harmless – 4%.

Even more disturbing are the seemingly inherent contradictions in the 18-24 groups’ answers be related questions. In fact, right next to the above offensive result, comes this question:

“Do you believe that Hamas attackers on October 7th committed rapes and other crimes against women or is that not the case?”

And, surprise, surprise, respondents ages 18-24 believed the charges against Hamas by a majority of 76%.

Biden’s crumbling relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu could easily turn into an all-out disaster

 Over the many years they have been in the public eye, Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu were never friends and rarely allies. Their fundamental political differences were compounded by years of long-distance disagreement.

Then suddenly, terrorism brought them together in something of a shotgun wedding. Biden visited Israel just 11 days after the Oct.  7  Hamas attack where he and Netanyahu embraced in an awkward, aborted hug.

In hindsight, that appears to have been the high point of their new relationship. It’s been downhill ever since and the gap between them is growing at an alarming pace. Headlines from recent days illustrate the tensions:

“Biden Warns Israel It Is ‘Losing Support’ Over War”

“In Dueling Remarks, Biden and Netanyahu Spar Over Gaza’s Future”

“Rifts Between Biden and Netanyahu Spill into Public View”

It is tempting to claim that a feud between the president and the prime minister was inevitable given their long history of contrasting parties and philosophies. But that explanation doesn’t do justice to the reasons driving the sudden change of tone.

The basic cause is the American political calendar and Biden’s scandalous bid to curry favor with American voters who oppose Israel, even after the Hamas slaughter.

With allies like this . . .

Satmar Excited as Lufthansa resumes flights to Israel

 

Satmar refuses to fly El Al because it is a Jewish Airline and their rebbe issued a fatwa prohibiting any of their sheep to fly Jewish they would rather fly with the airline run by the Nazi Grandchildren, Lufthansa!! 

The Lufthansa Group will resume its flights to Tel Aviv, the company reported.

Lufthansa suspended its flights to and from Tel Aviv on October 9, following Hamas' brutal attack on Israel and the start of the war which followed it.

The flights are scheduled to resume on January 8, 2024, and in the initial phase there will be four weekly departures from Tel Aviv to Frankfurt and three weekly flights to Munich.

Austrian Airlines is planning eight weekly connections to Vienna and SWISS five weekly flights departing from Tel Aviv to Zurich, the group said in its announcement.

"In a first step, the Lufthansa Group airlines will thus offer a total of 20 weekly connections to and from Tel Aviv," the statement read. "This corresponds to around 30 percent of the regular flight schedule. For these services, the carriers will operate aircraft of the Airbus A320 family."

"This flight schedule offers good transfer connections from Israel to North America and back via the Lufthansa Group hubs in Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna and Zurich."

The schedule will be published on December 18, 2023, and travelers will be able to book from that date on.

"Safety is always a top priority for the airlines in the Lufthansa Group. The Lufthansa Group continues to monitor the security situation in Israel closely and is in close contact with the local and international authorities. Possible flight schedule adjustments must be expected due to changing conditions," the group stressed.

Finance Minister Smotrich reimposes tax on sugary drinks, other than diet drinks

 

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionism) has decided to bring back the tax on sweetened drinks, other than on diet drinks.

The tax was imposed during the period when Yisrael Beytenu's MK Avigdor Liberman served as Finance Minister, and it was canceled by Smotrich after he took office.

Now, Smotrich intends to bring back the tax - but only for drinks containing sugar, which are taxed at 1.07 NIS per liter.

The decision is liable to reduce the consumption of high-sugar sweetened drinks, as well as bring hundreds of millions of shekels into the State's coffers each year, helping to offset the cost of the war.

It is expected that the heads of the haredi parties will attempt to pressure Smotrich into retracting his decision.

One of the explanations given in the order is, "Since the cancellation of the tax, there has been a significant rise in the purchase of sweetened drinks, after during the same period when the tax was imposed, there was a drop in the consumption of these drinks. A sharper rise was noted for drinks for which the tax was higher."

The explanation also noted that the manufacturers of these sweet drinks did not drop the price as has been expected, "so that the drop in the State's income from tax was not fully felt by the consumer."

The Satmarer Who turned Out to be a Goy!

 

On x-mas day on December 25, 2017, we at DIN posted an article where we questioned the validity of a Satmar Ger who married a woman twice his age. Satmar's chessed doesn't stop at feeding sick people chicken soup, they also pay for weddings for goyim as long as they want to join their cult called "satmar!" 

The "satmarer" Boyd also commented on that post and corrected me on some of the things I wrote, for example, I wrote that his wife was 52 years old, but he said that this was false as she was actually 50! He also claimed in the same comment that his conversion was 100% kosher. 

On this U-tube podcast (listen at the 3:57 mark) he actually states that he is a full fledged Goy and he did this whole shpiel for his "magic" whatever that even means. At the 8:53 mark he actually mocks the halachos of nidda and the Jewish Calander. 

Some commented that he must be a genius to have learned so much in 5 years, but what is there really to learn to become a Satmarer?  It's actually pretty easy, you start hating other Jews who believe that Jews should have a state and have in mind in the Shemonah Esra 3xs a day that the State should be eliminated and poof you are a Satmerer. And as you can see from this story, you don't even have to be Jewish! 

A member of the Satmar hasidic community in New York, who converted to Judaism together with his wife, recently became irreligious - and the community is now saying that he was an imposter from the beginning.

The individual, known as Yechiel Yisroel Bloyd (Bartimaeus Black), joined the community approximately five years ago.

At the time, he claimed that he had undergone conversion through well-respected rabbis, who he named. Over the years, he became part of the hasidic community in Williamsburg, and became officially part of the Satmar community.

"He baked matzahs on the day before Pesach (Passover), in the best bakery, he gave speeches in synagogues, we gave him everything he needed in order to raise a family, hasidim would go around collecting charity for him," the Satmar community described.

According to sources in the Satmar hasidic community, on Thursday it became known that throughout the past five years, the couple had led a completely secular life - which shows that they had been imposters from the very beginning.

After he was no longer religious, Bloyd announced that he intended to publish a book about his life in the Satmar community. The community, however, claims that this was his intention from the beginning: To infiltrate the community, become part of it, and publish the "findings" of his "research."

Bloyd, however, denied this claim, saying that he converted according to Jewish law and even named, again, the rabbis who converted him, and said that the lifestyle of the Satmar community was no longer appropriate for him.

Beit Shemesh Was Under Gaza Rocket Attack Friday Night ..Iron Dome Did Not Intercept the Rocket

 Hamas terrorists  in the Gaza Strip fired a barrage of long-range rockets at Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh as Shabbat began.

Loud explosions were heard over Jerusalem as the Iron Dome intercepted the rockets. Arab residents of East Jerusalem were heard cheering “Allahu Akbar” as the sirens sounded across the capital city.

In Beit Shemesh a Hamas rocket evaded the Iron Dome system and allegedly fell—reports of damage, but thankfully no injuries.

Why is Michigan hate preacher Ahmad Musa Jibril allowed to call for the murder of Americans?

 

An extremist Michigan cleric whose hate-filled sermons were said to have inspired the London Bridge terrorist attack has called on American Muslims to wage Jihad against the “infidel West” — and blamed the US led by “senile Pharaoh” Biden for what he called a “genocide in Palestine.”

Ahmad Musa Jibril, 51, a radical Islamist preacher who was born in Dearborn, is seen in videos posted on social media arguing that Muslims in the US should turn away from what he described as a watered-down “American-Zionist Islam” that ignores the idea of Jihad.

“Yes, there is holy war in Islam, it is Jihad,” Jibril lectured in one clip posted on X by an account associated with the fanatical imam. 

“This may be a surprise to many who grew up in the West, especially those who were born or grew up post-9/11, because of the growing number of hypocrites, who are spreading the American-Zionist Islam, and it has nothing to do with Islam, that version of Islam is and Islam that suits the enemies.”

In another video shared on a Telegram channel associated with Jibril, the hardline Palestinian-American preacher addressed the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, saying it should be viewed as a “wake-up call” for young Muslims in the US to start “normalizing” Jihad.

“Jihad must be a common, normal term on your tongues, on your social media, and in the mosques and elsewhere,” Jibril said.

Investigation: Hostages were shirtless, one waved a white flag - but were shot to death

 

The IDF forces who accidentally killed the three Israeli hostages during combat in Shejaiya, thinking them to be terrorists, operated in violation of the open fire rules, an initial IDF investigation shows.

Initial findings from the investigation, which is under the auspices of IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi himself, show that an IDF marksman who was within the structure identified, at about 10:00, in broad daylight and good viewiing conditions, the three hostages as suspicious, despite the fact that they were unarmed.

The hostages were walking without shirts, in the neighborhood's streets, a few dozen meters from the building in which the soldiers were. One of the hostages was holding a white flag, yet the marksman fired precise bullets at him.

The marksman hit two of the suspects with his Trijicon viewer, which magnifies objects to four times what the naked eye can see. A third individual managed to run towards a nearby building. Immediately after the shots were fired, the fighter-marksman yelled, "Terrorists!" The battalion's commander was also in the building, and ordered the fire to stop because he decided to begin a raid on the building the third hostage - who was still viewed as suspicious by the forces - had run to.

The forces, led by the battalion commander, arrived at the building where the third suspect-hostage was, and from a distance of a few dozen meters away, they heard cries in Hebrew of, "save me." Despite this, the forces decided to attack the building, call out to the person within it to exit, and when he came out of the stairwell, at least one fighter in the force fired towards him at close range.

At a distance of a few hundred meters from the scene where this took place, the forces discovered, a few days ago, graffiti reading, "SOS." in English and the Hebrew words, "hostages," and, "help." At the same time, during the past two days, the building was not inspected due to concerns that it was booby-trapped, since nearby there had been a building which contained explosive devices.

Three hostages mistakenly shot dead by Israeli troops

The IDF cleared for publication on Friday evening that, during combat in Shejaiya, the IDF mistakenly identified three Israeli hostages as a threat. As a result, the troops fired toward them and they were killed.

During searches and checks in the area in which the incident occurred, a suspicion arose over the identities of the deceased. Their bodies were transferred to Israeli territory for examination, after which it was confirmed that they were three Israeli hostages.

Their bodies were taken to the "Hatzvi" Center at the Shura Camp for further examination, where the hostages were identified:- 

Yotam Haim, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Kfar Aza by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7.- 

Samer Talalka, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Am by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7- 

Alon Shamriz, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Kfar Aza by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7.

IDF and Israel Police representatives have notified all of the families. The IDF believes that the three hostages who were accidentally shot either escaped from captivity or were abandoned by the terrorists who were holding them because of the fighting, but the incident is still being investigated.

“The IDF began reviewing the incident immediately. The IDF emphasizes that this is an active combat zone in which ongoing fighting over the last few days has occurred. Immediate lessons from the event have been learned, which have been passed on to all IDF troops in the field,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said.

“The IDF expresses deep remorse over the tragic incident and sends the families its heartfelt condolences. Our national mission is to locate the missing and return all the hostages home,” it added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said following the incident, “Together with the entire people of Israel, I bow my head in deep sorrow and mourn the death of three of our hostages, including Yotam Haim and Samer Fouad Talalka.”

“This is an unbearable tragedy and all of Israel is grieving their loss this evening. My heart goes out to the bereaved families at this difficult time.”

“I strengthen our courageous soldiers engaged in the sacred mission of bringing home our hostages, while risking their lives in doing so. Today, on this painful evening, we will dress our wounds, learn the lessons and continue the most important effort of bringing all the hostages home,” said Netanyahu.

Minister Benny Gantz said, “The heart is broken upon learning of the tragedy this evening. I want to embrace the families - the whole nation of Israel is crying with you. I strengthen all the families of the hostages, and also the soldiers who are in the depths of the territory and are carrying out a complex and important mission, the likes of which we have not known since the establishment of the state.”

“The pain that accompanies the campaign, grows more in the face of the difficult event. Our responsibility is to win the war, and part of that victory will be to bring the hostages home. We will do everything to bring them back alive. Everything,” vowed Gantz.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, “At this difficult time, my heart and thoughts are with the families of the three hostages who were accidentally killed by IDF fire in the Gaza Strip.”

“These are difficult hours, the mistake is painful for every Israeli, regardless of who he is, we must show patience, and continue to act for our hostages, our soldiers and our citizens.”

“I spoke with the Chief of Staff this evening to learn about the circumstances of the tragic event and to ensure that lessons are learned immediately,” stated Gallant.
