The Tweet of the Day
This succinctly states why Gantz is dangerous (translation below).
Translation:
Above the photo: “No, None”
In bold: “In Jerusalem there is a place for the capital of a Palestinian state.”
Netanyahu’s tweet is a quote that our “Defense” Minister Benny Gantz gave to the Al-Sharq Al-Awsat Saudi Arabian newspaper in 2020. It is just as relevant today as then. Benny Gantz’s mission is the same as that of the PLO and Hamas: to create a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Gantz continued on that mission early this morning when he ordered the destruction of yet another Jewish community in Samaria: Ma’ale Yonatan (named for Netanyahu’s brother). Ma’ale Yonatan follows in the footsteps of Amona, Ramat Magron, Netiv Havot, and Beit Drynoff.
Ma’ale Yonatan was set up by the Nachala Movement in Samaria several weeks ago, and this morning Nachala chairwoman Daniela Weiss angrily stated: “Benny Gantz is carrying out the left-wing’s policy of destruction. The mask has come off Benny Gantz’s face. The Defense Minister is concentrating on destroying Jewish homes . . .”
The News on the Israeli Street
It has been another day and night of Palestinian terror.
A squad of three female suicide bombers was captured at Checkpoint 109 near Qalqilya last night. In their car were a map of the target, machine guns, and a suicide note. The terrorists are all residents of Shechem (Nablus).
Palestinian terrorists opened fire on a fully loaded passenger bus stopped at the Shiloh Junction with a barrage of bullets. The bus was riddled with bullets but miraculously no one was physically wounded. The terrorists are still at large.
Palestinian terrorists attacked IDF forces in Bethlehem.
Palestinian terrorists attacked Israelis with IEDs, “rocks”, and Molotovs on Road 458 near Al-Muayyir, south of Givat Assaf, between Yakir Haguda and Gitti Avishar, near the entrance to Dotan, at the Karmi Tzur Junction, beside Aqraba, and at dozens of other locations.
It’s blackmail time again . . .
The Qataris are back in the Palestinian state of Gaza today handing out $100 dollars each to approximately 100,000 families.
Of course, the heads of Hamas will get their cut of the blackmail money in the form of fuel purchased by Qatar in Egypt and then trucked into Gaza to Hamas facilities where it can be sold by the corrupt Hamas leadership.
More on the Iranian Appeasement Agreement . . .
Despite the Biden Administration ludicrously claiming that no agreement has been reached with Tehran, a flood of leaks about the agreement continues to appear.
It appears that the deal will take place in four phases spread over 60 days.
The PLO tries to secretly influence the coming Israeli election . . .
It was revealed on Israeli television Friday night that the head of PLO “intelligence” Majed Faraj, secretly met with the heads of the joint Arab list including Ayman Odeh, Ahmed Tibi, and Abu Shahada this week.
According to the report, the main goal of the meeting was to make sure that Netanyahu does not become prime minister again.
TODAY’S BLOG:
Muslim Apartheid In Jerusalem
Born and raised in Pakistan, Muslim Noor Dahri is currently a student living in Leicester England. This past Friday he visited Jerusalem and posted this on Facebook:
PLO Chairman Abbas rants about “Israeli apartheid” in Berlin, but the truth is what Dahri reports–in Jerusalem, it is Muslim apartheid against Jews (aided by our own Israeli government).
Some of the photos that Dahri posted:
In front of the Kipat HaSela (Dome of the Rock) on the Temple Mount under which is the holiest place in Judaism. What is missing in this photo? Jews.
and . . .
Inside the Al-Aksa Mosque. What is missing? Jews.
and . . .
Praying at the Kotel (Western Wall). Dahri had no problem.
Once again, isn’t it ironic how the world loves to accuse Israel of apartheid when in fact it is the Muslims who practice apartheid in Jerusalem.
***Thank you to Noor Dahri for his excellent reportage.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
