A nice Sukkot breakfast–posted online today by an anonymous resident of Samaria.

Sukkot Sameach!
The Post of the Day
“Behind the backs of the citizens of Israel and the Knesset, Lapid and Gantz surrendered to Hezbollah’s blackmail. They transfer strategic assets of the State of Israel to Hezbollah in a liquidation sale.
Hezbollah will use billions of the gas to arm itself with missiles and rockets against the citizens of Israel, and Iran will position itself in front of Rosh Hanikra and in front of Israel’s gas reserves.
This weak and amateur transitional government has no mandate to make such a dangerous decision in the dark, just days before the elections.”
Former PM Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
What Netanyahu says about Hezbollah using billions of the gas money to arm itself is obvious, yet the Council of Chelm (aka Lapid and Gantz) can’t or won’t see it.
The News on the Israeli Street
A bizarre day on the Israel-Lebanon maritime front . . .
Yesterday saw a weird back and forth started by Lebanon’s declaration that the agreement with Israel would be signed on October 20 at Rosh Hanikra.
This was followed by Israel saying that it had no idea what Lebanon was talking about–and that it would not be possible to sign anything before the November 1 election.
This morning we have Israel’s Energy Minister Karin Elharrar blathering that “Lebanon has folded” on all the major points that Israel demanded. Interestingly, it is Israel that appears to have folded.
The War in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem: Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .
The murderer of Noa Lazar at the Shuafat Checkpoint 3 days ago is still at large. First, Israel closed down the Shuafat neighborhood to exert pressure to try to capture the terrorist. Last night, inexplicably, Israel opened the neighborhood again.
Palestinian terrorists opened fire on Israelis at Shomron. No Israelis were wounded.
Palestinian terrorists attacked Israelis with IEDs, Molotovs, and “rocks” at Litma, the Ma’ale Amos Junction, the Post Junction, north of the British Police Junction, between Adam and Hizma, on Road 60 near Silwad, Neria, Tekoa, and Luban a-Sharqiya among other places.
Palestinian terrorists tried to burn down the security fences at Kochav Ya’akov, and Psagot.
Palestinian terrorists attacked IDF soldiers at Neve Tzuf, Ofra, and police at the Azzun Junction and in Issawiya.

Israel’s Response To The Terror War: 150,000
Cpl. (her rank was posthumously raised to Sgt.) Noa Lazar was laid to rest last night at Kfar Yona amidst thousands of grieving family and friends. She was repeatedly described as “a treasure” by those that eulogized her.
One of her friends, Lihi Avizohar, sobbed: “She was a wonderful girl, bright, smiling, funny, beautiful and so friendly.”
Another wept online: “My beautiful angel, I can’t believe that I am writing this. I love you. You are my dearest partner, and my heart is crushed into a thousand pieces.”
This morning, Israel in the form of “Defense” Minister Benny Gantz responded by opening the flood gates again.
150,000 Palestinians swarmed into Israel.
150,000.
How long will it be before the next terror attack?
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.
