‘Surge in Illegal Arab Building Along Green Line a Security Threat’

  An alarming increase in illegal Arab construction along the Judea and Samaria security barrier has come to light thanks to research by Israeli NGO Regavim. 

 Analyzing photography obtained through aerial reconnaissance, Regavim discovered tens of thousands of illegal structures built along the barrier, which runs roughly along the Green Line, the 1949 armistice line that followed Israel’s War of Independence. 

 Much of the Arab construction is new, created within the last 10 months, reports the think tank, which focuses on land and sovereignty issues.

Pentagon insider warns 'we are on the brink' of World War 3 after latest Iran attack

 A source inside the Pentagon has warned Daily Express US that "we are on the brink of World War 3" amid surging conflict in the Middle East sparked largely by Iran.

The warning comes as Iranian-backed proxies destabilise the Middle East by attacking Israel and US targets, as well as international shipping in the region.

Iran itself has also carried out strikes in neighbouring Iraq and Pakistan as well as Syria sending tensions soaring.

Defence expert Nicholas Drummond echoed concerns that the conflict in the Middle East could potentially escalate but warned that if Tehran directly attacked Israel, the ensuing war would be “the end of Iran”.

Speaking to Daily Express US, he said: “Iran's agenda in the region, and globally, has been exposed. And Iran is on the back foot.

"The West is saying to Iran 'behave yourself, or we will attack you directly'.

"I think it's highly possible that if Iran continues to act through proxies, or to act directly, that threatens Western interests, we could see military action taken against Iran, and that would be a major conflict in the Middle East."

It’s unclear whether Iran is prepared to engage in such a conflict which, according to Mr Drummond, would spell disaster for the regime in Tehran.

He added: "I think Iran has to be very, very careful. It has been playing a dangerous game. And it's about to get punished if it doesn't step back.

"You saw that [Iran] fired a missile into Syria and… it was ostensibly taking out rebel targets but it was [also] demonstrating, it has a missile capable of reaching Israel from Iran that could have with a nuclear warhead - it could target Tel Aviv.

"That's the message it's sending. And, of course, if Iran did that, it would be the end of Iran, frankly."

Mr Drummond branded Iran as "the biggest threat to world peace" at the moment.

The stark assessment of the situation in the Middle East comes as Iranian proxies target the US and Israel in and from Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and elsewhere.

In addition, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have wrought havoc on international shipping by attacking civilian vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

In the past days, Iran has directly struck targets in neighbouring Iraq and Pakistan as well as in Syria sending fears of a direct confrontation soaring.

The US has responded previously by striking Iranian-backed militants in Syria and Iraq after Washington’s military assets in those countries came under fire.

Iran Started up with the wrong country now.. Pakistan bombs Pakistani terrorists IN Iran

Pakistan conducted a series of military strikes Thursday morning against insurgents operating in Iran in response to a deadly bombing in the southwestern Pakistani province of Baluchistan on Tuesday. 

 The Pakistan Armed Forces completed a "series of highly coordinated and specifically targeted precision military strikes" against Pakistani terrorists in Iran's Siestan-o-Baluchistan province as part of an intelligence-based operation named "Marg Bar Sarmachar,"

 Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced. The strikes were described as successful by the MoFA and left a "number of terrorists" dead. "Over the last several years, in our engagements with Iran, Pakistan has consistently shared its serious concerns about the safe havens and sanctuaries enjoyed by Pakistani-origin terrorists calling themselves *Sarmachars* on the ungoverned spaces inside Iran," the MoFA said, adding that it has shared "multiple dossiers with concrete evidence of the presence and activities of these terrorists."

Pakistan said the "lack of action" on its "serious concerns" caused the "Sarmachars" to kill innocent Pakistanis without consequence, which ultimately prompted the strikes on Thursday after credible intelligence reports revealed impending large-scale terrorist activities. 

While the country said it "fully respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity" of Iran, it cannot compromise the security or national interest of Pakistan.

"This action is a manifestation of Pakistan’s unflinching resolve to protect and defend its national security against all threats," the announcement read. "The successful execution of this highly complex operation is also a testimony to the professionalism of the Pakistan Armed Forces. Pakistan will continue to take all necessary steps to preserve the safety and security of its people which is sacrosanct, inviolable and sacred."

Gallant Never Sent Help to Ofakim on Oct 7 Even after the Mayor Called him twice!!

 

 A video clip making the rounds in Hebrew media features Ofakim Mayor Yitzhak Danino revealing disturbing details of a conversation he had with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant as the Oct. 7 attack unfolded, in which he pleaded for army helicopters to save the small southern city, which Gallant promised but were never sent.

Located 18 miles east of the Gaza Strip, Ofakim suffered more than 50 dead during the Hamas attack. The death toll would have been still worse but for the heroic actions of local residents, most armed only with handguns.

Danino describes in the undated speech how he realized what was happening by 7 a.m. and called Gallant, saying, “There are bands of terrorists going from house to house and murdering my residents and if a helicopter doesn’t arrive within a half hour they’ll slaughter the entire city.”

The mayor said there was silence on the other end for 20 to 30 seconds, which “seemed like an eternity,” before Gallant spoke. He said, “I’ll take care of it.”

“In those moments, I felt like I’d done something meaningful to save my residents,” Danino said, describing how even in that difficult situation he felt “elated” knowing help was on its way.

“I wait half an hour. I call him again. And I say to him, “Mr. Minister, I don’t hear helicopters. I don’t hear rescue forces. And he says to me, ‘I’ll take care of it,’” Danino related.

“The first soldier to arrive at Ofakim was at 2 in the afternoon,” he said.

Danino had spoken about the conversation before, relating the story to Radio Darom on Oct. 26.

Danino told the Israeli station that he first called then-Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, who promised to reach out to the National Security Council, but Danino realized that wasn’t the answer, and then it hit him he should call Gallant.

The only help for Ofakim came from its residents, who rushed out of their homes to defend the city “spontaneously” and on their own initiative against the terrorists. They “saved hundreds of residents” that day, the mayor said.

‘Hamas Tried To Sell My Son’s Head For $10,000’

 

Adir Tahar HyD

In a macabre description of the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on October 7th, a bereaved father recounted on Israel’s channel 14 how terrorists had killed and then decapitated his 19-year-old son Adir, a soldier in the Golani brigade. The terrorists left the headless body in the base and returned to the Gaza strip with his head, which they then tried to sell for $10000.

“It is barbaric beyond comprehension,” the father, David Tahar, said in the interview. I received a body without a head.” Adir was partially buried a few days after his death.

“For two and a half months, I tried every avenue to found out where his head was. I insisted on seeing his body. I had lost trust in the army,” David said.

Towards the end of December, soldiers from a special forces unit received information from the Shin Bet, which had interviewed two captured terrorists, one of whom had tried to sell Adir’s head.

“A special unit was sent in with tanks to central Gaza,” David related. The head was eventually located in Palestine Square in Jabalya, in the refrigerator of an ice cream store.

“They managed to bring me what was left and we buried it with the help of the Army Rabbinate,” David concluded.

The family is now conducting a campaign to perpetuate Adir’s memory by establishing a center for at-risk youth. The campaign can be reached at: https://charidy.com/ezra23/bbq?utm_source=c_whatsapp

"Hamas terrorists beheaded my son and tried to sell his head in Gaza,” revealed David, the father of Adir Tahar, a victim of a brutal terrorist attack on October 7th. He detailed the horrific treatment of his son's body.

Sicko Blinken: "Jewish lives don’t matter more than Palestinian ones"

 

DIN: The dumb Blinken, he should have diverted that question knowing it was coming from an avowed antisemite, he should have replied. "We have International Laws, that state when one comes to kill you, you defend yourself , period."

Palestinian lives are as important as Jewish ones, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, when quizzed on the matter by veteran journalist Thomas Friedman.

“Do Jewish lives matter more than Palestinian and Muslim and Christian lives, given the incredible asymmetry in [civilian] casualties” in the Gaza war, Friedman said.

Blinken quickly replied: “No.”

He then expanded on the answer, stressing that “for me and for so many of us, what we are seeing every single day in Gaza is gut-wrenching. The suffering we are seeing among innocent men and children breaks my heart. The question is, what is to be done.”

Israeli Left Pushing PA Control of Gaza and Future ‘Palestinian’ State

 

While for most Israelis, Oct. 7 was a wake-up call to the dangers of a “Palestinian” state (a Jan. 10 poll found 74% opposed to the idea), within weeks of the massacre a New Israel Fund (NIF)-supported think tank started working to shape Israeli policy for the “day after.”

In their vision, the “day after” means a two-state solution in which the Palestinian Authority would become the government of the new country

Mitvim (its full title is The Israeli Institute for Regional Foreign Policies) partnered in October with the Berl Katznelson Foundation, another NIF-funded organization, to form a working group composed of “Israel-Palestinian experts from various disciplines, research institutes, academia and civil society organizations.”

Jordan to Join South Africa in ‘Genocide’ Lawsuit Against Israel at The Hague

 The ludicrous lawsuit by South Africa against Israel in the International Court of Justice at The Hague on the charge of genocide is rapidly shaping up to provide a clear snapshot of who in the world hopes to eliminate the State of Israel once and for all, and who stands by the right of the Jewish State to exist.

Among those apparently hoping to see Israel’s demise, oddly, is the Kingdom of Jordan, Israel’s neighbor to the east with whom the Jewish State has “enjoyed” icy but quiet relations under a peace treaty signed by both on October 26, 1994.

Despite that peace treaty, Mohannad Al-Mubaideen, a spokesperson for the Jordanian government, has told Arabi 21 that “Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh’s speech before the House of Representatives was clear, which is that Jordan will submit the necessary legal investigations and pleadings as soon as the International Court of Justice decides to consider the genocide case.”

Jordan, Turkey, Bolivia, Colombia, Brazil, Djibouti, the Muslim member states of the Organization of Islamic Countries, and the Arab League, all expressed their support for South Africa in its effort to rescue Gaza’s ruling Hamas terrorist organization from contending with the consequences of its October 7, 2023 invasion of Israel and its massacre that day of more than 1,200 people in some 22 Israeli villages and several other military bases along the Israel-Gaza border.

Germany has announced its decision to intervene in the Court on Israel’s behalf, which will require Berlin to file a “declaration of intervention” with the Court in order to present its legal arguments. The European nation is adding its voice to those of the United States, Guatemala, Canada and the United Kingdom, all of whom have also publicly declared their support for the Jewish State.

“Hamas terrorists brutally attacked, tortured, killed and kidnapped innocent people in Israel,” German government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit said in a statement. “Since then, Israel has been defending itself against the inhumane attack by Hamas.”

From the outset, both the United States and Canada slammed South Africa for its attempt to paint the victim as the aggressor: both have said its case against Israel is “baseless.”

The Court ended its first two days of hearings on Friday, with ICJ President Joan E. Donoghue announcing the Court will rule on South Africa’s request for urgent measures — the demand for Israel to immediately halt the military operations against Hamas aimed at eliminating the existential threat to Israelis posed by the terrorists — “as soon as possible.”

IDF Interrogates Hamas Commander

 

Reservists of the Paratroopers Brigade Warn Their Commanders That they "won't return until all operations are carried out in Gaza!!

Reservists of the Paratroopers Brigade write a letter to their commanders - against the dilution of forces in the Strip: 

"We won't return until operations are carried out."

 

In "Spinka" they want to know "Who is the Baal Buus" the boss ...Spoken like a real Jew!

 

 DIN: Did you ever wonder what the very first words from a Jew were to Moshe Rabbienu? 

How quickly we forget. It's recorded in the Torah, Parshas Shemos.

I can tell you it wasn't pretty! 

That's why you need to continue to read DIN so that I can point out to you guys, pashut pshat in the parsha!

So here it is:

?מי שמך לאיש שר ושפט עלינו

"Who appointed you? as a dignitary, a ruler, and a judge over us?" 

Wow! Read that again! A Jew asks Moshe "who made you the boss?"

Moshe doesn't answer but disappears from the scene and doesn't show up till about 40 years later. This could be the pshut pshat why Moshe refuses Hashem's request that he be the one to talk to Paro. He had a very bad experience!

It's now over 3,500 years, and nothing has changed!

In the video above, a Wiseguy pulls out a smartphone at a Spinka gathering, and one of the "tzaddikim" wants to throw him out, but the "tzaddik" meets his match, as the Wiseguy asks him "do you need attention? Are you the "baal buus' here? "

The "tzaddik" answers "Yes, I'm the Baal Buus here, you mechutzif"

So the Wiseguy asks him"

"Show me the contract that you signed" 

The Tzaddik eventually sits down, I don't know what happened after this.

But I see that Parshas Shmos is alive and well!

Pro- Palestinian and Hamas Protestors Should know that the Neturei Karta Are NOT their friends

The movement for Palestine should not be building its bridges with Neturei Karta, whose ideology necessitates that the Palestinian state be a temporary one, no matter how willingly they may tokenize themselves

Pro-Palestinian activists should know that they and Neturei Karta do not want the same thing. For the time being, sure, their objectives align.  In the eyes of Neturei Karta, when the messiah comes – and, for them, this is not a matter of "if" – there will be no river-to-sea Palestine.

 

There will be a monarchical Jewish theocracy in the entire Land of Israel. The righteous dead will be revived, the exiled Jews will gather from the corners of the Earth and all will recognize the law of the Torah as the truth. Anti-Zionism, as they see it, is part of the commandments put before them to usher in this world to come, one that doesn't quite have room for the sovereignty of the Muslims of Sheikh Jarrah and the Christians of Bethlehem. The pro-Palestinian movement has many Jewish allies who do not see this as an endgame that the world can embrace. These include organizations that have already been involved in pro-Palestine activism, like IfNotNow and Shoresh. Of course, they may not be as identifiably Jewish at first glance as Neturei Karta, and it might necessitate interacting with people who have been to Israel or are – heaven forfend – Israelis themselves.pro-Palestinians should know that the Neturei Karta Ideology about the Messiah means that the Palestinians will be wiped out by the Jewish Messiah!

 

 

Sickos Anti-Israel protesters target NYC cancer hospital for 'complicity in genocide' as terrified Jewish resident says 'I thought I was in Germany in 1939'

 

Thousands of anti-Israel protesters descended on Manhattan to demand a cease-fire in Gaza on Monday, with some even targeting a respected hospital for cancer patients over its alleged “complicity in genocide.”

The protesters shouted “Shame!” at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center while patients received treatment on the Upper East Side before targeting a Starbucks and a McDonald’s restaurant they reportedly accused of making “meals for genocide.”

“Make sure they hear you. They’re in the window,” an organizer said on a bullhorn outside Sloan Kettering, according to footage posted on social media.

Someone in the crowd beat a drum as scores chanted: “MSK shame on you, you support genocide, too.”

The demonstrators took time during the event, advertised as a “Flood Manhattan for Gaza MLK Day march for healthcare,” to berate those at the cancer center, which is also a pediatric hospital.

“What about refusing to acknowledge an attack on Palestinian people, and especially the healthcare system, shows any form of compassion or respect for health?” one speaker said, according to National Review.

“Shame, shame, shame,” other protesters shouted in response.

Diamond prices slashed 25% as lab-grown gems rock the industry

Diamond giant De Beers slashed the price of its precious solitaires amid plunging sales as bargain-hunting fiancées increasingly opt for cheaper lab-grown gems.

Among De Beers’ larger stones, one category of mined diamonds had its price slashed by as much as 25%, according to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.

The category, called “select makeables,” include big rocks between two and four carats that can be cut into smaller polished stones used in high-quality bridal rings, the outlet reported.

The prices within this category were already slashed heavily last year, sources told Bloomberg, as these mined gems took one of the biggest hits when synthetic options gained mainstream popularity.

Across the board, De Beers’ gems were lowered 10% at its first sale of the year, which typically reflects its largest price cuts, the sources told Bloomberg, asking to remain anonymous when discussing private details.

During its two sales in 2023, the London-based diamond company allowed its customers to refuse all gems they were contracted to buy in the year as it grappled with weak demand and too much stock in the wake of the pandemic, according to Bloomberg.

However, De Beers is no longer allowing its customers to reject its stones, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

As Hamas plays sick games with hostages 100 days in, Biden whines he’s losing patience with Israel

 

One hundred days. That’s reportedly how long the world’s only Jewish state is allowed to fight for its survival against a barbaric, Iranian-backed terrorist organization before President Biden loses his patience. 

As the world Sunday marked 100 days since Hamas’ Oct. 7 mass-murder, mass-rape and hostage-taking, White House national-security spokesman John Kirby declared it was “the right time” for Israel to scale back its military operations in Gaza aimed at dismantling all Hamas terrorist infrastructure.

Hours later, an unnamed US official told Axios, “The president’s patience is running out.” 

For now, at least, Biden’s retreat is rhetorical.

The Pentagon continues to resupply the Israeli military with critical munitions to continue its war on Hamas.

But the timing of this political pullback couldn’t be worse. 

The Senate is expected to hold a vote Tuesday on a resolution Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced aimed at conditioning US military assistance to Israel.

It will be the first major test for Senate Democrats.
