May Their Memories Be For A Blessing
Ziv Belfer (left) 52 years old and Shamoun Najam, 54, were both born in Lebanon and fought with the South Lebanese Army. They moved to Israel several decades ago and set up carpentry shop in Nahariya. They were the two who were killed by a Hezbollah missile strike on that shop yesterday.

Mike Huckabee: U.S. Ambassador to Israel
It is difficult to find a stronger supporter of Israel than the evangelical Huckabee. A few of his quotes tell the tale:
“There is no such thing as a Palestinian.”
“I think Israel has title deed to Judea and Samaria.”
“There are certain words I refuse to use. There is no such thing as a West Bank. It’s Judea and Samaria. There’s no such thing as a settlement. They’re communities, they’re neighborhoods, they’re cities. There’s no such thing as an occupation.”
Steve Witkoff, Special Envoy to the Middle East.
When President Biden began to threaten Israel with arms embargoes, Witkoff secured huge private donations for Israel to purchase weapons.
And so it goes thus far today in Israel . . .
