Russians Strike Uman!
Russian drone strikes early this morning damaged the power infrastructure of the city of Uman, where the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslev is located.
A heavy blackout covered the area for many hours.
Leftist First Pushed for an "Agreement at any price" Now the Same Leftist are saying its a "Bad Deal"
Now they come?
Suddenly we hear lamentations about the terrible agreement. The well-known commentators who pushed for an agreement at any price are now analyzing the severity of the conditions. We've heard enough from you. You don't know more than others, and it's quite possible you still cling to the old conception, despite what we've experienced.
Before the agreement was signed, the majority of the media almost completely suppressed any serious discussion about its unbearable costs. We saw mainly quasi-pornographic headlines dealing with emotion rather than state risk management or discussion about its future in light of the agreement.
For a moment, we relived the orgy of stupidity from the Oslo Accords and the "Disengagement." Then too, they suppressed all serious discussion about the consequences of these bloody agreements. They put adhesive tape on our mouths to prevent us from speaking against it. Everything we warned about happened! And more. In the media, opponents of the agreements were condemned as warmongers, as "extremists" and "messianic." Regarding the current agreement, anyone who opposed releasing the hostages outside of exchanges (children for murderers) was marked as heartless, preferring their death over surrendering to the kidnappers' demands.
2.
The root of Israel's failure and conduct in recent decades lies in the spirit of the Oslo Accords, which were never canceled, following the foolish thought that the barbarians around us think similarly to the rational considerations of a Western state. The money to Hamas was transferred by all Israeli governments without distinction, according to security officials' recommendations. As ambassador, I marketed then-Foreign Minister Yair Lapid's plan for economic peace in Gaza. The main points were: rehabilitation of the Strip, bringing international investments and so on, in exchange for quiet. The principle was formulated back in Oslo: our enemies want to live well like us, and therefore will be willing to compromise and achieve peace, or at least industrial quiet. A terrible mistake.
3.
How many of us are familiar with Hamas' charter? Here's the key sentence by which the barbarians in Gaza and their supporters in the Palestinian Authority operate: "Israel will rise and continue to exist until Islam obliterates it, as it obliterated what came before it." Who is interested in reading about the true long-term intentions of the new Nazis who are now returning to their places, when we are excited and crying (truly!) at the sight of hostages reuniting with their family members?
How many of us have read the Fatah charter ("The Palestinian National Charter"), a document no less terrible than Hamas' charter. How will the perception of the Arabs of Samaria and Judea change, if the PA pays salaries to murderers of Jews according to the number of those murdered? Now they're trying to market to us the PA's return to Gaza instead of Hamas. A terrible mistake. Hamas understands it won't receive budgets from the foolish West for rehabilitating the Strip as long as it's in front, and therefore it will be convenient for it to place other "moderates" in front to funnel money for its rehabilitation. The day the order is given, Hamas will take control of government institutions and accuse Israel of a "siege" to the sound of support from Israel-haters in the West and the useful idiots among us.
4.
The current agreement is terrible, but perhaps there was no choice. The complete picture isn't before me, and there is reason to assume there are hidden considerations unknown to the public. We'll only be able to examine them in several months or even a year from now, as was the case in previous stages of the war. Meanwhile, we need nerves of steel and supreme patience. My criticism is about the suppression of serious discussion and the dimming of its risks, and addiction to an emotional festival that recalls a feast on the eve of the plague.
5.
And more hypocrisy that sickens the soul: Before the agreement, the media largely blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, not Hamas. Of course. The hostages "don't interest him," they said, and worse, "he wants them dead." Dust in their mouths. Now that the first hostages have been released, the same media again accuses him, this time in the death of previous and future hostages, and of course is careful not to credit even a percentage of the hostages' release to him. Heaven forbid, it's only former President Donald Trump (the same commentators wanted Vice President Kamala Harris to win). For years there hasn't been substantive discussion in the mainstream media, only according to the question of whether it's good or bad for Netanyahu. We all pay the price.
Female soldier defied Hamas, refusing to leave fellow hostage behind
New details obtained by Israel Hayom reveal the remarkable courage and unbreakable bonds displayed by the female IDF observers during their captivity under unimaginable conditions. Sources involved in the release of Liri Albag (19), Daniella Gilboa (20), Naama Levy (20), and Karina Ariev (20) have disclosed a profound incident that illuminates the intense loyalty between the hostages until their final moments in Hamas captivity.
According to sources familiar with the release details, the observer scheduled for release firmly held onto Agam's hand, steadfastly refusing to abandon her companion. Only when the captors forced her to comply with their predetermined release plan did she reluctantly leave her friend behind until the next phase, expected this Saturday. She departed with the hope that Agam would soon return to her family and reunite with her friends in Israel to begin their collective journey of healing from their Gaza ordeal.
The situation continues to evolve as Hamas violates the ceasefire agreement terms while Israel maintains its firm stance on implementation. The next phase is expected to secure the release of Arbel Yehoud (29) in the coming days, followed by another phase on Saturday that should finally bring the fifth IDF observer – Agam Berger – home to freedom.

Surprising Statement from Tehran University Professor in Doha
"You'd be shocked by how many Iranians despise 'Palestinians' since October 7. Sympathy has vanished.
If someone had said Iranians would hate Palestinians and praise Netanyahu as a hero, I would've thought they were crazy. But after 15 months, I’ve seen it firsthand—the younger generation’s hatred toward 'Palestinians' and their admiration for Netanyahu."

Hostage's father "A deal of surrender and shame"
Tzvika Mor, whose son Eitan is being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza, explained in an interview with Arutz Sheva-Israel National News the mixed feelings regarding the implementation of the hostage deal, which he describes as "shameful."
"There are three levels of emotions: joy for each one who has already returned. This situation where our girls are there, in the hands of Hamas, is unacceptable, and we are happy that they are returning and look, at least physically, good. On the second level, we are concerned for our son who unfortunately was not included in this deal, and we don't know what will happen next. On the third level, there is great concern for the people of Israel,” said Mor.
“In the Tikva Forum, we fought for the release of the hostages to be done in a way that not only does not harm Israel's security, but strengthens its resilience and deterrence so that no one gets hurt. We know what happens when terrorists are released. Now we see that the terrorists are returning to their villages for celebrations, which are actually recruitment parties for terrorist organizations. We know that this deal will cost us, unfortunately, a lot of blood. We are deeply saddened that the release of the hostages was done this way," he explained.
Mor said that he is having trouble understanding the definitions and conditions of the deal. "I think the whole idea of defining a hostage as a ‘humanitarian case’ is problematic. Isn't my son, after 15 months in captivity, a humanitarian case? Moreover, how can this be what the Israeli government gives us? A bad deal of surrender that doesn't save all the hostages. Not to mention that we are withdrawing from Gaza, releasing terrorists, and this is surrender and shame.”
“Right now, it looks very bad. It seems like the war is over. A million Gazans will return to the north and establish themselves there. How will we move them later? Additionally, Trump wants quiet here. I am very concerned, and I think every citizen in the State of Israel should be concerned," Mor added.
He feels that the national religious and right-wing public was silenced to prevent a strong protest against the deal. "There was a huge campaign here that caused the national religious public and the right-wing public, in particular, to stay home, a campaign that caused us to go out and sing in the square on Tuesday instead of shouting and demanding victory and questioning why we sacrificed hundreds of soldiers if we return to a situation where Hamas controls Gaza."
Now, his demand is that all the hostages are brought back in the first stage of the deal. "If the Israeli government decided to surrender - and it's a pity they did - at least they should return all the hostages at this stage. Negotiations [on the second phase] are supposed to start on the 16th day, and everyone should return. There can't be groups or selections. We want to see everyone return, and then we'll deal with the Gaza Strip so that it no longer poses a threat to the State of Israel."
Liri Albag: “There Are 2 Million Terrorists In Gaza; Even Small Children Spit at Jews”
Eli Albag, the father of Liri, who returned from Gaza on Shabbos, exposed further details of her captivity in an interview on Monday morning.
Albag held a press conference on Sunday evening during which he slammed anyone who opposed the hostage deal, threatening: “The people will hold you accountable.” Albag was criticized for his statement in turn by Israelis who opposed the deal, especially since many bereaved families who lost their children in battle in Gaza or whose sons are even in captivity in Gaza are included among them.
In an interview with Radio 103FM, Albag clarified his position, saying that his criticism was intended only for the politicians who opposed the deal and he doesn’t, chalilah, judge bereaved families.
He then explained his position by repeating something that Liri told him. “Do you know what Liri told me? ‘Dad, there are two million terrorists there, don’t be mistaken.’ So if they release 6,000 or 2,000 or 200 into the two million [terrorists in Gaza], we should celebrate that because tomorrow, if someone shoots a bullet, they’ll wipe out Gaza, but let them wipe out Gaza when the hostages aren’t there.”
“Liri told me, ‘Abba, there are two million terrorists there. I sat with small children, four-year-olds, who would make spitting gestures at Jews.’ Do you understand what that means? Does anyone understand what that means? So they talk to me about what? About Sinwar who was released? They could have eliminated him a thousand times, no, two thousand times, and all of Hamas that went wild and did whatever it wanted even before October 7—they could have destroyed them like they destroyed Hezbollah.”
Regarding how Liri was treated in captivity, he said: “Terrorists, shocking things. It’s difficult to tell everything. We’re afraid because there are still hostages there; we need to be careful with our words. But let’s just say they’re not our friends, they’re our enemies who want to kill us. We need to bring everyone back and stay vigilant.”
About Liri’s condition, he said: “Liri is strong. We’re not surprised. She saved lives there in Gaza. There are many things but not everything can be talked about – she said she indirectly saved Amit Soussana’s life. On Tuesday, Channel 12 is publishing a report about it. Liri didn’t want to talk about it but Amit will tell the story.” [Amit Soussana, 40, was released from captivity in November 2023 and later told the press that she was assaulted by her Hamas guard.]
Regarding Liri’s physical condition, and whether she was beaten, Eli said that Liri “is still not ready to talk about it.”
When asked about Hamas’s exploitation of the girls, parading them on a stage in Palestine Square in front of hundreds of terrorists before releasing them, Albag said: “Hamas terrorists demanded that the girls speak, so Liri and the girls said, not only will we not speak – we will make a victory gesture and disrupt their entire show – so the moment they made the victory gesture, they took the girls down. When Liri spoke to me, she told me, ‘Dad, I would have said one sentence in Arabic: ‘My name is Liri Albag, and I am number one.'”
According to the other girls, Liri was the leader of the group and communicated with the Hamas terrorists on behalf of all of them.

Israel Releases Eichmann Trial Records for Holocaust Remembrance Day
The Israel State Archives released a searchable digital collection on Monday of 380,000 pages from the 1961 Jerusalem trial of SS officer and Holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann.
The Israeli government is making the documents available to the public to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The pages uploaded to an advanced search engine include testimony, lists, photographs, court files, and correspondence between the State Attorney’s Office and then-Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion.
Israel Police compiled the “Bureau 06” materials for the 1961 trial. Bureau 06 was a team formed to investigate and prepare the State of Israel’s charges against Eichmann.
Among the materials is the testimony of Holocaust survivor Yehiel De-Nur (Ka-Tsetnik), who collapsed during the trial and could not testify in court but recounted the horrors of Auschwitz and his chilling encounter with Eichmann to the police.
De-Nur described his horrific transport to the Nazi concentration camp in Poland, the deadly selections, and his haunting encounter with Eichmann, whose gaze he described as “hypnotic and terrifying,” comparing it to looking through “the eyeholes of the death’s-head [symbol] on his cap.”
The collection is accessible online via the Israel State Archive website, along with a video link to De-Nur’s courtroom collapse.

Only coming to terms with the nature of the enemy can save Israel
The Gates of Gaza
In 1954, on the Jewish holiday of Purim, a bus carrying passengers from the Red Sea beach town of Eilat entered Scorpions Pass.
A decade before there was any ‘Palestinian’ cause, Muslim terrorists ambushed the bus. Ephraim Fuerstenberg, the driver, was shot dead, and his wife Hannah was taken out and raped and murdered. Men had thrown themselves in their dying moments on his two children to hide them. But his 9-year-old boy, Haim, raised his head to call for his sister, the Jihadist lifted up the body on top of him and shot him in the head, he would lie in a coma for 32 years before finally passing away. His sister Miri, who wrote the story in her book, ‘The Girl From Scorpions Pass’, survived only by hiding under the man who had thrown his body on top of hers to save her life.
