SEPARATE! Before It's Too Late!

Israel Needs Regime Change

I know it doesn't look like it right now, when we appear to be on an upswing, supposedly no longer following US orders, as if the Prime Minister, after 20 years, finally grew a backbone.  But I think things are going to take a major turn down.  At least that's how it is going to look.  HKB"H is setting up a test.  Maybe the last one.

The Democratic Pluralistic Zionist State could only ever bring us just so far.  It was never going to be the vehicle to push us across the finish line.  If we're lucky, it will only run out of gas and stop dead in its tracks.  The alternative is that it might crash and burn. The best outcome would be for us to pull over and park right now and get into the one reserved and waiting to bring us across into the geulah shleimah.

We've had a Western-style, Western-oriented, Western-dominated regime here in the Land of Israel for what - 78 years now?  It has brought us to a situation of internal galut!  However, we had the Davidic Monarchy with a Holy Temple for 1,000 years!!  It's no myth or fable.  It's real.  Why does it seem so impossible and out of reach now?  It's nothing but lack of imagination, lack of faith, lack of will and a lot of ignorance!!

It is critical that people begin to grasp these truths because we are in geulah b'ita - redemption "in its time" - the worst case scenario.  The minority who get this and who are prepared for it are not going to be held back any longer by the majority who don't.  

In contrast to the calls for unity, especially unity at any cost or sacrifice of principles, not just in regard to Jewish unity but in the name of universal brotherhood, even with the enemies of God, c"v, the true calling of this hour is separation.  Think in terms of Korach.  Separate or descend into hell with the evildoers.

Judeo-Chr*stianity - Jew and Gentile Together - "One New Man"

Many, many (too many) Jews have fallen into this trap unwittingly while some have cultivated their connections maliciously.  I'm not here to judge who falls into which category.  But it would behoove every one of us to examine our ways and decide for the final judgment where we stand. 

This is a Maccabee moment as the Judeo-Christian Jews decide if they are going to abandon this modern Hellenism or if they are willing to break free from that fading, failing world and respond whole-heartedly to the call "Mi l'Hashem elai!!"

Maybe its because Eisav's offspring and power are concentrated in the English-speaking world, but American Jews seem to have the most trouble avoiding this pitfall - the attachment to Edom. The Jewish trait of giving the benefit of the doubt is, I think, why a lot of Jews get involved with the Evangelicals who are saying all the nice, comforting things their souls crave to hear from the world. They make a lot of excuses for them because of all the seemingly good things they do and say, and sincerely believe they are correct in building these relationships.

Maybe in the same way, we have been making excuses for them - our fellow Jews - for the same reasons,  but that time has come and gone now.  We can't afford to do it anymore - not for us and not for them either.  We're not doing them or ourselves any favors.  They've already broken the links in the chains of generational continuity.  We now have to let go of them and go our separate ways while leaving the door ajar so they can still join us if they come to their senses in time.

These Judeo-Chr*stian Jews, so similar to the Hellenists of the past, can have unity with their fellow Jews who remain 100% committed to Torah, or they can maintain their connection to their Edomite sycophants, but they can't do both.  Not anymore.

…the last war will be the beginning of the redemption, and a Torah-true Jew who is completely separated from the non-Jews will not be subjugated, as we find that in Egypt when two people drank from the same cup, one (an Egyptian) drank blood and the other (an Israelite) drank water. This shows that in fact there is no rule whatsoever over a Jew who is separated entirely from the non-Jews” (Rabbi Aharon Kotler, in the name of the Chafetz Chaim, Leket Reshimot Channukah by Rabbi Noson Wachtofogel, p. 40).

I have a tradition passed down from one to another in the name of Maran HaGaon Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin, z”l, that in the final war before the arrival of Mashiach all of the righteous Jews will be saved. Who are ‘righteous Jews’? Those who are separated from the non-Jews! It does not mean that they must be one of the 36 righteous individuals, rather they must be separated from the ways of the non-Jews and have no contact with their culture! Not with their newspapers, their music and books; to be entirely separated from them. Then Hashem will say: You are Mine and you are under a different authority so no one else will rule over you” (Ibid., p.41)

No more riding the fence, no more having a foot in each world, no more interfaith relationships.   Just us and HKB"H in a 100% commitment to the Covenant we share together.  Then the geulah will come with all its precious promise.

But keep in mind that geulah b'ita comes whether we are ready or not.  There's no time to waste because we don't know how much is left.  Could be only days or even hours!!

Towards the End of Days the airev rav will be given great capacities and success in all its undertakings, like a false prophet for whom the sun stood still in the heavens.  They will enjoy a period of success to stand at the helm of the nation with the might and intoxication of power and dominion, in order to act as the last temptation to the Nation of Israel.  

...The great success of the airev rav will reach its zenith...when the time approaches for the spirit of impurity to be eradicated from the world, ....unaware that its end is near, that the complete redemption is close at hand, and with it the total elimination of evil and its forces from the world.  (Source:  The End of Days by Shmuel Raber)

This is what it feels like to be on the right side with HKB"H

Free Will – Rabbi Meir Kahane

See – I have placed before you today the life and the good, and the death and the evil, that which I command you today. To love Hashem, your G-d, to walk in His ways, to observe His commandments, His decrees, and His ordinances; then you will live and you will multiply, and Hashem, your G-d, will bless you in the Land to which you come to possess it... I call heaven and earth as witnesses! Before you I have placed life and death, the blessing and the curse. You must choose life, so that you and your descendants will live. (Deut. 30:15,16).

This warning was issued when the Jewish People were about to enter their land, to live there isolated from the nations' detestable practices. Unfortunately, even in Eretz Yisrael, we sinned greatly and exile was decreed, such that instead of being a “nation that dwells alone” (Num. 23:9), we ended up among the nations, and most of the Jewish People became like them. As a result, large parts of our people, in effect, lost the ability to choose. The free choice that was their lot in Eretz Yisrael, their land and birthplace, became a farce among the nations where they were conquered by foreign culture; and countless Jews became spiritual captives.

How can we expect Israel to repent as a people when they do not even have any questions? Why should G-d continue punishing His people for so long when not only is the punishment not beneficial, but, as we saw following the dreadful Holocaust, tens of thousands of believing Jews even became heretics? How can G-d draw near to Him a people that has lost its understanding to choose between good and evil, between life and death? Regarding the verse, “Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, that are accustomed to doing evil” (Jer. 13:23), Redak comments,“You have so accustomed yourselves to evil that it cannot leave you, as though it were a second nature to you.”  In this age of great scientific and technological advancement, when materialistic, cosmopolitan “realism” makes assimilation seem acceptable, it is clear that the Jewish captive to foreign culture will not improve his ways. Quite the contrary, he marches along proudly, far from the camp, far from the idea of repenting, almost cut off from every link to his origins. He has lost, so to speak, the power of free choice. He who was earmarked to be like the stars of the heavens, wallows in the mire.

The Torah's very defining good and evil in real, absolute terms constitutes a declaration of war against the culture of the nations and the Hellenists [westernized, secular Jews] who adopted it. That culture preaches that no one absolute good or evil can be determined, since all ideas and concepts, including those defining good and evil, are the product of human thought. Both those who deny the existence of a Supreme, Omniscient, Omnipotent G-d Who is the source of wisdom and truth, and those who admit the existence of a Supreme Being yet deny Torah from Sinai, i.e., that G-d set forth a blueprint in the Torah, hold that we cannot attach special status to one “good” over another. Tolerance and pluralism are the ultimate principles of that alien culture. Since followers of that culture cannot determine with certainty what evil is, they cannot eradicate it from the world. Clearly, tolerance and psychological flexibility regarding (almost) all views and lifestyles are their philosophical darling. For them, almost absolute liberty and freedom transcend all else. Included in this is a person's freedom and right to do whatever he pleases with his life so long as it does not “harm his fellow man”. Clearly, this approach is a disgusting philosophical abomination to G-d and Israel. G-d, the Creator, fashioned a world that rests on truth, an exact, defined truth, determined by Him. The world was created to put G-d's clear, precise ideas and attributes into practice, and whoever seeks to differ with them imperils his soul. It is not man who determines his path on this earth. He is not free to choose whatever lifestyle he pleases without facing the consequences– bitter punishment from His father in Heaven.

The Torah treats with contempt the idea of man having freedom over his body and his life. Our sages comment on the verse, “The tablets were the tablets of G-d, and the writing was the writing of G-d, graven [charut] on the tablets.” (Ex. 32:16): “Read not charut, 'graven', but cherut, 'freedom'. The only free man is the one who studies Torah” (Avot 6:2).A person is not free, he is not at liberty to act however he pleases. He is bound by the yoke of Heaven, the fetters of our holy Torah. Only by agreeing to serve G-d and accept His yoke does he become free. This alone liberates him from the empty bestiality which enslaves him to his own needs, to his own selfish ego, to abominable lust. G-d does not recognize man's right to do as he pleases as long as he does not harm his fellow man. G-d established that man's life does not belong to him. Man was commanded to live and given a path to follow. Not only is he forbidden to harm his fellow man. But he is forbidden to harm himself. As long as a person opposes his Maker, he harms himself. He takes his own soul, committing spiritual suicide, and he is not free to act this way. Life itself is not man's personal property. G-d blew into man the breath of life only so he would lead a well-defined life of goodness. As our sages said (Avot 4:29), “Perforce you were born and perforce you live.”  If a person says, “Since I was created against my will, if I do not wish to live I have a right to commit suicide,” G-d declares that man is not free either to live as he wishes or to die however he likes. Regarding one who commits suicide, our sages said (Semachot – Avel Rabbati 2:1): We do not eulogize him, but we stand in line for him and say the blessing for mourners, to show respect for the living. As a rule, whatever shows respect for the living we do, but nothing beyond that. Rambam (Hilchot Avel 1:11) and Tur (Yoreh Deah 345) ruled the same way. Thus we learn that even a man's life is not in his own hands, let alone his lifestyle.

A person is granted free will, and he has the right and duty to choose goodness and life and to loath evil, defilement and death. If, of his own free will, he chooses evil and defiles himself, G-d will not help him to avoid evil by closing the door to evil. Rather, G-d opens the way for him to do what he wants. It says in Yoma 39a:If a person defiles himself a little bit, Heaven will defile him a lot. If he does so on earth, he will be defiled from Heaven. If he does so in this world, he will be defiled in the World-to-Come. The Rabbis learned, “Make yourselves holy and remain sanctified” (Lev. 11:44): If a person sanctifies himself a little bit, Heaven will sanctify him a lot. If he does so on earth...That is what is meant by “Heaven gives him an opening”.  The more he defiles himself and sins, the more his defilement and sin become habit, and ultimately second nature. All this applies to the Jew, and all the more so to the non-Jew. Moreover, if a non-Jew profanes G-d's name by reviling and humiliating a Jew, and he refuses to desist, then when the time of redemption and revenge arrives, G-d will not only open the way for him to continue, but will even entice him to do so, for his fate has already been sealed. Certainly, if Gog announces that he is accepting the yoke of Heaven and submitting to G-d, and he subjugates himself to G-d and Israel, thereby bringing the world the great and final Kiddush Hashem, G-d will certainly let him repent in this way. Yet, as long as he does not do this, as long as he and the world continue in arrogant chilul Hashem, G-d will set the time for His revenge and, then, will entice him into receiving his punishment.

Rambam explains in Hilchot Teshuva 6:3: 

[...] Why then did G-d address him [Pharaoh] through Moses, saying “Send out Israel and repent,” when He had already made it clear that He knew Pharaoh would not send them out, as it says, “I realize that you and your subjects still do not fear G-d” (Ex. 9:30); and, “The only reason I let you survive was to show you My strength” (Ex. 9:16)? It was to inform mankind that when G-d prevents the sinner from repenting, the sinner cannot repent, but must die for the wicked deeds he performed previously of his own free will. It was so with Sichon. In accordance with his sins, he was denied repentance: “The L-rd your G-d hardened his spirit and made his heart firm (Deut. 2:30). The same applies to the Canaanites. In accordance with their abominations, G-d denied them repentance until they waged war against Israel: “It was the L-rd's doing to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might destroy them utterly” (Joshua 11:20).

Here we learn a major principle of free choice regarding a wicked non-Jew who profanes G-d's name. An evildoer can submit to G-d in one of two ways. First, he can repent and crown G-d King, accept G-d's sovereignty and subjugate himself to G-d and mitzvot. Clearly, such repentance is appropriate and desirable, and G-d will not prevent his submitting in this way. The second way is for him to submit, not out of repentance and acceptance of G-d's yoke, but only out of fear and weakness. Certainly, this does not constitute sufficient repentance from his wickedness and Chilul Hashem, for until he rises and proclaims openly that Hashem is G-d and King, bending his knee before Him, G-d's name is not sanctified in the world. Therefore, if his whole submission is out of weakness and fear, he will still deserve punishment and revenge. G-d will, therefore, harden his heart so that he does not submit out of fear. Thus, G-d hardened Pharaoh's heart, because Pharaoh never accepted the yoke of G-d's kingdom. By the same token, G-d did not let him escape his sin and punishment through mere fear, but hardened his heart, so that G-d's name would be sanctified. It will be similar with Gog, who will stand firm in his chilul Hashem, and the time of Kiddush Hashem will arrive. It thus says, “I will bring you against My land, O Gog, before their eyes” (Ezek. 38:16). [The ensuing punishment and revenge we find described in this week's Haftarah]: “I alone have trodden a wine press, not a man from the nations was with Me; I trod them in my anger and trampled them in My wrath, and their lifeblood spurted out on My garments, so I soiled all my garments. For a day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redemption has come...” (Isaiah 63:3,4)

This is the greatest, most terrifying Kiddush Hashem there can be, and it is this which will make all the nations accept G-d's sovereignty.

"O7C" - October 7 Coalition (Jews Beware!!)

“We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus as we cover our Jewish brothers and sisters and lend our support. We wish to make our city a place where our Jewish neighbors feel loved and protected.”

The October 7th Coalition is a movement of Christian shepherds, leaders, influencers, and neighbors, committed to public and private support and protection of the Jewish community, whom we recognize as brothers and sisters in our Judeo-Christian history and tradition, and our shared ancestors of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. We recognize Israel’s right to exist and we emphatically and vociferously reject all antisemitism. We are here to unite, promote, and encourage meaningful public and private action in the Christian community to strengthen relationships with our Jewish friends and neighbors. This goal will be achieved through a number of ecumenical opportunities that aim to educate, find common ground, and encourage Christians to find ways to support the Jewish community in their sphere of influence.

The PM departed Israel for NY at 4 am...

(Sep.25, 2024/ JNS) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to depart for the United States on Thursday, a day later than initially planned, to address the 79th Session of the U.N. General Assembly in New York City on Friday.

The prime minister is to fly back to Israel on Saturday night, according to a statement from his office.

A barrage of 45 rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Acre area an hour ago. The IDF says some of the rockets were intercepted and the rest struck open areas, mostly the sea. Meanwhile, dozens more Hezbollah sites were struck in Lebanon in the past few hours. The targets included weapon depots, buildings used by Hezbollah, and operatives, according to the military.

What we know: Hezbollah attacks stopped for 18 hours. There was a shorter pause in IDF strikes. Both sides have now resumed their attacks. What this means: Looks like negotiations by fire, as efforts to secure temporary truce continue. Bottom line: For now the sides are settling back into a limited escalation routine. Israel should aim to keep this phase short. Either secure a truce on acceptable terms or keep pounding Hezbollah hard. Otherwise the same routine will continue, with no strategic change.

⚠ISRAEL-HEZBOLLAH TRUCE IMMINENT, US OFFICIALS CONFIRM TEMPORARY 21-DAY CEASEFIRE AMID CALLS FOR HEZBOLLAH'S DEFEAT 

⚠ As of 6:30 AM, a municipality statement from Tzfat advises all residents to remain close to shelters and limit outdoor activities until further notice.

⚠ Overnight, Israel launched more than 150 airstrikes on the Bekaa region in Lebanon, with 60 of these occurring in just a few minutes. Among these, 40 strikes specifically targeted Baalbek.

⚠ Senior US officials have indicated that a truce between Israel and Hezbollah could take effect within hours, according to reports from 12 News and Sky News. This truce, expected to last 21 days along the Israel-Lebanon border, is aimed at facilitating negotiations for a more permanent peace agreement. However, it is important to note that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated last night that he would not agree to a temporary ceasefire. There has been no official confirmation from Israel at this time.

Meanwhile, a Hamas official revealed to the Saudi network "Al-Hadth" that the group has reached an agreement where Fatah will take responsibility for civil management in Gaza, including control of crossings.

⚠ Israeli politician MK Smotrich has expressed that the campaign in the north must end decisively, advocating for the complete defeat of Hezbollah. He stated that Hezbollah should not be allowed to regroup after the 21-day truce. The only acceptable outcomes, he argued, are Hezbollah’s surrender or continued conflict, to ensure long-term security for northern Israel and the nation as a whole.

🚨 NETANYAHU CHAIRS SECURITY CABINET MEETING AMID POSSIBLE ESCALATION AS IDF CALLS UP RESERVES 🚨

🚨 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently chairing a special security assessment meeting with top military officials and government ministers. In a significant shift, this meeting is being upgraded to a Security Cabinet meeting, with missing ministers summoned to attend immediately. The key distinction between these meetings is that the Cabinet can vote on specific military actions. This, along with the IDF announcement of calling up additional reserve forces to be deployed in northern Israel, indicates a possible escalation in military operations.

⚠ Earlier today, the Hezbollah terrorist group launched a barrage of projectiles from Lebanon into northern Israel, targeting cities like Safed and Nahariya. In response, the Israeli Air Force retaliated, striking the launchers and various Hezbollah terror sites, including operatives, weapon storage facilities, and other key infrastructure. So far, more than 280 Hezbollah-related targets have been hit in Lebanon, with further operations expected to continue.

🎗Gaza ceasefire: Senior U.S. officials, as reported by CNN, have halted active efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, citing a lack of political will from both sides to end hostilities.

🚨 IDF CHIEF OF STAFF CONFIRMS PREPARATION FOR GROUND MANEUVERS AGAINST HEZBOLLAH 🚨

During an exercise at Israel’s northern border, Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, emphasized the ongoing efforts to prepare for potential ground maneuvers against Hezbollah. Accompanied by high-ranking officers from the Northern Command, the 98th Division, the Ground Forces Training Center, and the 7th Brigade, Halevi addressed the troops, stressing the significance of their mission.

He highlighted that fighter jets have been conducting airstrikes throughout the day to degrade Hezbollah's capabilities and prepare the ground for a possible entry by IDF forces. According to Halevi, Hezbollah has increased its range of attacks, but the IDF is ready to deliver a strong response.

Halevi underscored the importance of the maneuver, where ground forces will enter enemy territory, including villages Hezbollah has turned into military outposts with underground infrastructure and launchpads aimed at Israel. He assured the troops that their entry into these areas would decisively destroy Hezbollah's operatives and infrastructure, ultimately ensuring the safety of Israel’s northern residents.

The message was clear: the IDF is not stopping its operations and is fully prepared to enter enemy-held territories to neutralize threats and secure the region.

The IDF has entered a new phase in its campaign against Hezbollah and must be prepared for a ground incursion if necessary, Northern Command head Maj. Gen.

Gordin assessed the readiness of the commanders and soldiers, emphasizing the importance of being fully prepared to change the security situation and enable northern residents to return home safely. “The operation began with significant strikes on Hezbollah’s capabilities, focusing on their firepower and a severe blow to their commanders and personnel. In light of this, we need to change the security situation. We must be fully prepared for a ground incursion and action," he added. (Yoav Zitun)

Following sirens in Tel Aviv, the IDF confirmed one surface-surface missile (ballistic missile) was launched from Lebanon and intercepted. This was likely one of the few hundred reported precision-guided Fateh-110 short-range ballistic missiles believed to be in Hezbollah’s possession and is the first time Hezbollah has launched one. It was likely intercepted by the David’s Sling air defence system.]

BREAKING: H.R. 3433 was passed today in the House of Representatives without objections.

The establishment of an FDA bureau in the Abraham Accords region was tasked as part of Title II of HR 3433.

USIEA eagerly anticipates the Senate’s quick response, as the bill now moves to the upper chamber for a vote and then to the President’s desk for final sign off.

USIEA has educated Members of Congress on friendshoring U.S. medical supply lines to Israel and the Abraham Accords nations since 2021.

In January of this year, Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN) and Rep. Juan Vargas (D-CA) introduced the United States-Abraham Accords Cooperation and Security Act of 2024, which calls for the establishment of a U.S. FDA Bureau in the Abraham Accords region to open up a staging ground for collaboration.

Reps. Harshbarger and Vargas were inspired to introduce the bill after attending USIEA’s 2023 Congressional Tour.

Their bill led to the eventual passage of today’s Act. USIEA provided the initial research for these members and proudly endorses today’s bill.

This bill will authorize the establishment of an FDA bureau in the Abraham Accords region to:

- Create a staging ground for the United States to friend-shore to the Abraham Accords countries.

- Secure critical pharmaceutical supply chains and support improved public health solutions.

- Shift America’s medical supply chain dependence away from adversary countries to amicable and strategic allies.

[Note that this organization is also behind the National Leadership Center in Ariel, Israel which has as its stated goal to indoctrinate all Israel's future leaders with Western (Chr*stian) ideas and values!!] 

Think about it, Hamas and Qatar (the "ceasefire" negotiator, funder of Hamas and home to Hamas leaders) are Sunnis like Saudi Arabia.  Hezbollah and the Houthis are Shia like Iran and Syria.  Iran and Saudi Arabia are vying for the leadership of the Muslim world.  East v. West.  

Saudi Arabia will not recognise Israel without Palestinian state, says Crown Prince

DUBAI, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Wednesday said the kingdom would not recognise Israel without a Palestinian state and strongly condemned the "crimes of the Israeli occupation" against the Palestinian people.

"The kingdom will not stop its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and we affirm that the kingdom will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that," the crown prince, known as MbS, said.

After the eruption of war last October between Israel and the militant Palestinian group Hamas that rules Gaza, Saudi Arabia put on ice U.S.-backed plans for the kingdom to normalise ties with Israel, two sources familiar with Riyadh's thinking said earlier this year, in a swift reordering of its diplomatic priorities.

MbS, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, had said just weeks before the fighting broke out that Riyadh was getting closer to a deal.

And there's more to it. In order to make this "deal," Saudi Arabia wants the US to provide them with a nuclear umbrella (against the day Iran gets nukes) and they want the control of Har Habayit taken out of Jordan's hands and transferred over to them. (Riyadh seeks to reboot Temple Mount status quo with peace deal)

Notwithstanding the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, and perhaps even because of it, diplomatic contacts aimed at advancing a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia have continued. The US administration has worked hard to move this process forward after Hamas’s attack on October 7, which was intended to thwart the move, and after Iran, through its various proxies, joined the conflict. However, after six months of combat, it is possible to make the following cautious assessment: The fundamental motivation of the United States and Saudi Arabia in this context has not changed. The United States wants to forge a new regional order, which it will lead, to make it easier for itself and for Middle Eastern nations to deal with Iran—and also to indicate that it is not abandoning the region. Saudi Arabia, for its part, wants to cement its regional standing and bolster its status and security, particularly vis-à-vis Iran, by strengthening its ties with Washington.

...Saudi Arabia—Riyadh is primarily concerned about the benefits it will receive from the United States. These include a defense pact to ensure the kingdom’s security against Iran; the provision of advanced American arms and ammunition, including F-35 fighter jets; and American assistance in establishing a civilian nuclear infrastructure, including operating a nuclear fuel cycle within Saudi Arabia. In addition, the Saudis have several demands of Israel. The main one is that Jerusalem agrees to advance the two-state solution and recognize the “renewed” Palestinian Authority as the responsible entity for the Palestinian arena. Previously, the Saudis had wanted Israel to express implied support for the two-state solution, while maintaining diplomatic flexibility; however, since October 7, they have been demanding practical steps from Israel, such as transferring the administration of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority, in order to stabilize the Palestinian arena. It appears that Riyadh has accepted that the resumption of the normalization process with Israel will be linked to greater Saudi involvement in Gaza and planning for “the day after Hamas.” Of course, all of this depends on the Americans accepting the Saudis’ demands and on Israel’s agreeing to certain aspects of the demands that it may find problematic, such as allowing Saudi Arabia to acquire nuclear capability and the erosion of Israel’s relative military advantage.

United States—Washington is demanding domestic reforms from Saudi Arabia, as well as a stable oil supply and a reduction in Saudi ties with China in various areas, including technological, military, and nuclear cooperation. In return, the Biden administration is seeking Saudi agreement to normalize relations with Israel as part of a regional integration process aimed at countering Iranian influence. Additionally, the United States expects Saudi Arabia to play a role in the new regional order by assisting with the Palestinian arena, particularly in stabilizing, administering, and rebuilding the Gaza Strip, as well as helping the Palestinian Authority reform itself and become an effective governing body.

...The Biden administration recognizes that the Israeli government is facing challenges in making significant strategic decisions due to domestic political considerations. Therefore, they are working to advance certain actions without the agreement of the Israeli government and are willing to impose measures that Israel may find difficult to accept. In this context, they are expanding humanitarian aid to Gaza, establishing a temporary port on the Gaza coast, supporting reforms in the Palestinian Authority, working toward the establishment of a new technocratic government, and preparing for the formation of a Palestinian force to maintain public order in the Gaza Strip, with the involvement of Jordan and Egypt.

The US has been very open and public about running this war on their own terms, with their own military and political leaders having a constant presence in our own War Room!  When they told us immediately that this was "Israel's 9/11,"  that was clue #1.  It means this was an inside job and that is why elements of both the military and the political echelons ignored the warnings and why their response was delayed for so long.  If you'll recall, Saudi Arabia was involved there, too!  It also explains why there was no coordinated invasion by Iran's proxies despite the initial claims that Hamas "jumped the gun."  

When Binyamin Netanyahu loudly proclaims "We are fighting for Western Civilization," believe him!!

...It was to this city [Washington, D.C.], the Rome of our time, that the head of the tiny Jewish state came to warn the world and awaken it from its slumber. Will the world hear? Benjamin Netanyahu's speech spoke to us Israelis and his American hosts, but his words were aimed at the entire world. Israel is not just fighting war for its survival, it is fighting the war of the free world, [free of God's sovereignty!!] of Western civilization against barbarism as the Prime Minister said in his speeches. Judeo-Christian civilization is fighting for its life.  (Source)

This is all so much bigger than us.  Were it not for HKB"H and His protection, all would be lost.  But the Master of the Universe still reigns on high and He promised to take Edom down.  They won't rule over us forever...

This week's haftarah:  

...Who is this that comes from Edom, sullied of garment from Bozrah [capital of Edom]?  It is this One Who was majestic in His raiment, Who was girded with His abundant strength?  - "It is I Who speaks in righteousness, abundantly able to save."  Why the red stain on Your raiment?  And Your garments - as one who treads in the wine vat!  "A wine press have I trod by Myself, and from the nations not a man was with Me;  I trod on them in My anger and trampled them in My wrath, their lifeblood spurted out on My garments, and I soiled My raiment.  For the day of vengeance is in My heart and the year of My redemption has come...."

WHAT DOES IT MEAN - NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY?  The government approved a special situation on the home front in all areas of the country.  There is no change at the moment in school or  work. This mainly concerns the state bodies, legally authorizing them to make quick and enforceable rulings should conditions require it.

The last time this power was in place was for COVID.  In a special state of emergency, the Minister of Economy has powers regarding curfews but leaving workers in essential workplaces, the Minister of Communications has powers regarding broadcasts, and more.

.. YES satellite TV, due to the special situation, unlocks a variety of TV channels for all its customers for free.

@ 22:20 (IST) - 🟥 DRONE SWARM! - Sunday night - events from Israel  

ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

(( VIDEO - attempted interception of suicide drones from Iraq over the southern Golan / Kinneret - failed interception. ))

‼DRONE SWARM from Shia Militias Iraq against SOUTHERN GOLAN, BEIT SHEAN, and SURROUNDING TOWNS..

( fog of war - lack of clarity )

.. started with 1 - 3 suicide drones over the southern Golan / Kinneret.  Multiple interceptions attempted. 

.. followed by 10+ SUICIDE DRONES against the Beit Shean area.  (Other reports say some or all were cruise missiles.)

.. 6 interceptions (drones or cruise missiles?), some misses.

.. Iraqi’s release video (not shared here) of launches, primarily of them SCREAMING religious Islamic verses while lighting them off.

.. Shia militias: We attacked targets in the Jordan Valley using Arpad-type UAVs.  Claim to have fired 15 suicide drones.

.. MDA: no reports of casualties.

.. NO REPORTS OF IMPACT / DAMAGE, nor of a fire started.  What happened to the drones?

One of the UAVs fell in the area of ​​Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu.

Another UAV fell in the area between Beit She'an and the Jordan Valley. 

.. DRONE INFO:  The Al-Arfad drone is a new kamikaze drone deployed in attacks against Israel and U.S. interests. This drone was first utilized in May 2024 during an attack on Eilat. It is a long-range attack drone with distinctive V-shaped tail fins. These drones have been increasingly used in regional conflicts, particularly in operations tied to Iranian-backed militias.

♦Opposition sources (enemy report) in Syria report that IDF forces crossed the border fence in the Golan Heights about 300 meters.  The force, supported by tanks, bulldozers and other military vehicles, began to dig a trench and establish a line of fortifications as well as observation posts.

♦RUMORS Hamas leader Sinwar has been out of touch for some time.  Speculation he may have been wounded in an attack, or is temporarily cut off from communications, or even killed.  Others say no such info, it’s just speculation.

🔸DEAL NEWS.. Supposedly this offer has been made: Hamas proposal for a hostage deal: a 5-year ceasefire in exchange for the release of all the hostages. 

  The deal includes the return of all the hostages in exchange for all of the convicted mass murderers Arab prisoners.  Requires a cessation of military activity for 5 years and return to the borders before Oct. 7 (meaning Israel must leave Gaza 100%, including the border corridor.) 

▪Verdict of the Tel Aviv District Court: The Tel Aviv Municipality's decision to prohibit segregation in (public space use for) prayer is a reasonable decision (even though it has only been applied to Jewish prayer, not Muslim prayer).

@ 18:40 (IST) -⚠ HEZBOLLAH THREATENS ESCALATION AS ISRAEL PREPARES FOR OPEN-ENDED CONFLICT IN THE NORTH ⚠

⚠ IDF tanks have been spotted moving north as part of Division 98, an elite unit of the IDF, signaling military preparation for potential escalation.

⚠ Naim Qassem, Deputy Secretary General of Hezbollah, delivered a strong message during a speech at the Aqil burial. He threatened to "destroy Israel’s economy" and rejected any attempts at resolving the conflict through diplomacy. Qassem declared that not only would no Israeli residents return to the north, but even more people would flee the area. He emphasized that just as Israel has made "returning the citizens to the north" a war goal, Hezbollah has set its own goal of preventing that from happening. He described the situation as an open-ended battle with Israel, stating that Hezbollah is prepared for all military challenges and has yet to decide its full response to the aggression. According to Qassem, this conflict has entered a new and more intense phase
