Please consider donating to our campaign by clicking on the donate button in the right hand column on this page. All donations go directly to our soldiers.
The Photo of the Day
This makeshift sign which appeared yesterday reads that leftist demonstrations in the past few days in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv harms our fighters and makes the rescue of hostages more difficult.
In particular, the active duty soldiers are angry at the “Brothers in Arms” organization which mainly consists of members of the reserves and former reservists who are not involved in the current combat.
The last thing that our brave soldiers need to worry about is the renewed attempt by leftist and anarchists to bring down the government.
By the way, one of the leaders of the “protest” movement, Ami Dor, writing on his twitter account Tuesday accused IDF soldiers of committing war crimes.
Incredible.
The Outstanding Quote of the Day!
“Zionism is the ultimate form of liberation and decolonization. This is the story of Jewish liberation from oppression.
And there is nothing progressive in championing the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state. There is nothing progressive in opposing the Abrahamic Accords which promote peace between Israelis and Arabs–and between Jews, Christians and Muslims. There is nothing progressive in opposition to the Iron Dome which protects civilians from constant rocket fire.
And of course there is nothing progressive in supporting Hamas which massacres and burns, and murders and assaults women and children.
For me, the truth of these things is so clear that we don’t need to repeat them, but we need to repeat them because we Living in a world of lies, in an Orwellian universe with reversed morality, where evil has become good, and injustice has become justice, and terror has become resistance.

The above remarks were made on a podcast in New York before he left. What a refreshing change from the usual anti-Zionist rant that comes out of the U.S. Democrat Party lately.
UPDATE 9:00 AM
On the Ground in Gaza
Last night, Sderot was targeted with missiles (23:00) as was Kissufim (19:15):
Sderot was targeted by incoming missiles at 11:00 pm last night. No injuries or damages were reported.
The IDF Spokesman:
“In the center of Gaza, the fighters of the Nahal Brigade’s combat team identified a squad of armed terrorists operating within a terrorist infrastructure located near the fighters. The forces of the brigade followed the terrorists. After certain identification of the terrorists in the area, a fighter plane and another aircraft of the Air Force attacked the squad and eliminated it. A few minutes later, the fighter jet attacked the terrorist infrastructure where the terrorists were operating.
In addition, Air Force aircraft attacked terrorist targets including launching points and terrorist infrastructures. Also, last night several launches were detected that crossed from Gaza into Israel. The Southern Command together with Air Force forces attacked the sources of the fire alongside a number of launchers and other terrorist infrastructures in Gaza.”
On the Ground in the North
The IDF spokesman:
“During the night, fighter jets of the Air Force attacked observation posts of the terrorist organization Hezbollah in the Al-Hiyam region and terrorist infrastructure of Hezbollah in Kfar Kila.”
On the Ground in Syria
There were more reports of explosions in Damascus overnight.
On the Ground in Judea and Samaria
*IDF troops were attacked with a roadside IED in Jenin last night. No soldiers were wounded.
*Our soldiers are currently operating in Deheishe beside Bethlehem.
On the Iranian Front
The death toll in the Damascus attack has risen to 16 including as we previously reported, 8 Iranians, 5 Syrians, and 3 Lebanese Hezbollah–all of whom were intimately involved in planning and carrying out terror attacks against Israel.
Israel has been warned by the American CIA that we can expect an imminent attack in some form from Iran.
Iran’s “Supreme Leader” Khameini said yesterday that tomorrow is the day: “The last Friday of Ramadan this year will be a rallying cry against the Zionist regime.”
*Yesterday, the Home Front Command announced it is launching a campaign to prepare all Israeli civilians for an expected attack in the north.
*The Bank of Israel sent out an urgent email to banks yesterday that in the case of a widespread attack there may be a run on ATM machines in Israeli banks, and that those banks should be prepared for a shortage of cash.
*The IDF recalled reservists to the north yesterday focusing on those involved in the IAF air defense system.
The Horrendous Report from the State Comptroller
In an unbelievable report from Comptroller Matanyahu Engelman two days ago, he reported that 38% of the female soldiers who are involved in guarding the terrorists from October 7th have been subjected to various forms of sexual abuse from them.
He urged IDF Chief of Staff Halevi to remove IDF women from the prison facilities saying: “We cannot accept the fact that terrorists who were complicit in the atrocities of October 7, will continue to harm Israeli soldiers.”
Speaking of the Atrocities of October 7
The heavy rains last week unearthed more body parts buried under rubble and ashes in some of the Kibbutzim along the Gaza border.
Those body parts have been sent to Israel’s forensic laboratory for identification.
A Re-Evaluation of Benny Gantz’s Comments Two Days Ago
It turns out that the leader of the “State Camp” Party and member of the War Cabinet and emergency government Benny Gantz is just as abominable as we always have thought he is.
Yesterday we praised him for his seeming denunciation of the leftist protests in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and in particular for their breaking through police barricades to storm PM Netanyahu’s home in the capital.
It turns out that what Gantz was more angered about was the fact that several speakers at the leftist event accused him and his cohort Gadi Eisenkot of being complicit in the continued torture of hostages by virtue of their being in the War Cabinet.
For years, Gantz has said nothing about the continual trashing of PM Netanyahu who is accused by the leftists for everything under the sun, but the minute he is criticized . . .
By the way, Gantz made “an address to the nation” last night on Israeli television during which he called for new elections in September so that the public could have its trust in the government restored.
Hogwash. Gantz sees his numbers slipping in the polls and now favors elections as soon as possible.
Good News From Turkey
Turkish Airlines has announced that it is extending its cancellation of flights to Israel. The cancellation was originally scheduled to end in October but will now be extended until March 2025.
This can only hurt the already disastrous situation in the nearly bankrupt and egregiously anti-Semitic country. The Turkish lira is at an all-time low against the dollar.
Bidenites On Parade
Two pieces of information out of Washington today:
1. Biden officials have already said that they will remove the Houthis in Yemen from the list of terror organizations if they will stop attacks in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.
Say what? When Biden became President, he took them off the list of terror organizations, but in recent months put them back on after the continuing attacks on international shipping–and incessant drone attacks against Israel.
Now he wants to take them off again.
2. According to a report in The New York Times, President Biden was overheard telling Muslims at a meeting of Muslims in the White House that his wife tells him to “Stop the war in Gaza! Stop it now!”
It seems that Jill Biden has the same delusion of presidential power that Joe has.
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.
