High Holy Days bring them out of the woodwork in droves anyway but this year has its own complications.  Jews beware and be aware!!


“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.

"Third Lebanon War": Eighth Day

23 Elul 5784

THE WRATH OF GOD

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.

Oh, so NOW  "it is the time" to enforce the law on Hezbollah - when Israel is winning.  Isn't that always the way.  No thought to the suffering of Israeli citizens for eleven months, but NOW...!

🚨 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.

IDF general says forces must be prepared for Lebanon ground incursion (Ynet)

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. Ori Gordin said according to an army statement issued on Wednesday. “We have entered a different stage of the campaign, and we are in the midst of Operation Northern Arrows,” Gordin told troops during a visit to the 7th Brigade's divisional exercise near the northern border on Tuesday. 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)

Abu Ali Express English @AbuAliEnglishB1 · 6m 
The reason that #Hezbollah chose this morning to launch a symbolic missile at #Tel_Aviv precisely at 06:30 is because today exactly one year has passed, according to the Hijri (Islamic) calendar, since the events of 7.10 that were held on the 22nd of the third month of the Hijri year and began at 06: 30.

[ELINT News @ELINTNews
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.]

HKB"H is fighting for us every single day, in every single way...

Initial Reports that the USNS Big Horn (T-AO-198), the only Replenishment Oiler with the U.S. Navy currently Deployed to the Middle East, has “Run Aground” off the Coast of Oman in the Arabian Sea and suffered possible Serious Damage; with her currently being Towed to Dubai.

I still believe the US and Saudi Arabia are behind everything that is happening here, including the Simchat Torah Massacre, and the goal is to eliminate all the "zealots" on both sides and install a "moderate" Arab presence so the money can flow without hindrance.




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.  


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...."

(( 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
