King Bibi, the Likud and Control over the Philidelphia corridor

What is on my mind? Is being truthful and stating the cold hard facts!
Allow me to begin by stating here, that for years many of us older American immigrants pushed for the need of the Knesset to ratify a written set of laws (a constitution) and to dissolve / abolish the "vote for party" adopted Mandate English parliamentarian system. We who campaigned for the change, wanted to institute the American style representative form of government. Whereby the individual voter would vote to elect representatives, who would be more in touch and receptive to their constituents, of specific areas in Israel.

Furthermore, allow me to mention here, that though I was a delegate and member of the Labor Party for many years, I was NOT a "Peace at any price" left winger.

Neither was I personally opposed -as I have written in my blog entries - to the legitimacy and presence of returning Jewish residents to Judea and Shomron JUST as Golda Meir and David Ben Gurion believed and spoke about in interviews.

As a true Zionistic Jew, I am a person who is concerned about the social welfare of our people, and especially as a father, I believe that THE most important and pressing issue in our country is in allowing the construction of "quality housing" at lower prices for young couples.

I also see this as a dismal failure that Israel never adopted a “GI Bill” of rights system for ALL those who have given of themselves to defend the nation!

I have often spoken out many times on the dire need to revive (Amidar) the construction of subsidized rental (larger and quality) apartments especially for young families to make their lives easier and to encourage larger families!!

As we the previous generation are aging, there is a need for the construction of one- and two-bedroom apartments for us and a means for us to sell our larger "homes" or to have a program to eliminate the hassle and exchange them for the smaller housing and to receive a crediting for the difference.

For years I have been opposed to many of the policies of "King Bibi" and the general policies of the “overly free” market system as perpetuated by the Likud.
Bibi is the perfect example of just what is wrong with our electoral system and of those who remain in power way pass their time.

Though I openly disagree with the Prime Minister on many issues, I will be the first to readily agree with what he stated in his recent speech of the; “strategic imperative” to sever "Hamas’s pipeline for oxygen and rearmament”.

To all those who are rioting and demonstrating I can readily empathize with you over your fears for the wellbeing of your loved ones.

But first stop and internalize the cold hard fact and let it be remembered just WHO those barbaric murderous rapists were that abducted your loved ones that bloody Shabbat October 7th!

These repugnantly blood thirsty "Untermenschen" were the product of systematic indoctrination of a extremist fanatical fundamentalist version of Islam as embodied in the Moslem Brotherhood and the extremists of the Iranian regime

As you stand there inconveniencing your neighbors by blocking thoroughfares you blithely fail to remember, that following the 2005 Disengagement, Israel controlled all of Gaza’s borders except the one with Egypt, and it was through that border that Iranian made weapons and material to make explosive laden rockets and ammunition reached Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip.

As Bassam Tawil points out in a recent article; "Llet those protesting take note that Hamas official Ghazi Hamas has applauded the Israeli public pressuring their government to allow Hamas to "live to fight another day": to rearm, regroup and continue attacking Israelis"

"It has long been the dream of Hamas and many Palestinians to see the US turn its back on Israel. Hamas leaders are banking on the Biden administration to compel the Israeli government to give in to the terror group's demands...."

As we have all witnessed Bibi has come under immense criticism domestically for "allegedly" blocking a deal with his insistence since July on the continued Israeli control of the Philadelphi Corridor and central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor, which divides the north of the Strip from its south.

"Hamas is insisting that Israel withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor along the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. Israel's presence there obstructs Hamas's efforts to smuggle weapons into the Gaza Strip through cross-border tunnels, as it has been doing for the past two decades." -Bassam Tawil

Regretfully our recent history has shown the abject failure of our "Peace Partner" Egypt to stem the flow of weapons from Sinai to Gaza and their kowtowing to the powerful Bedouin clans and the corrupt Egyptian official who via to profit from the smuggling tunnels. El Sisi is aware of all this and is doing NOTHING to absolve the issue!

Due to the continual utterable failures of the Egyptian government, and the US Government guarantees from the "Camp David Accords", it is imperative that we keep Israeli troops stationed along the 14-kilometer (8.7 miles) "Philadelphia Corridor" along Gaza’s border with Egypt.

From our regretful past experiences, with international intervention of the UN and "Western Powers" as well as with Left-Wing domestic legitimacy we MUST stand fast on our demand to stay.

It cries out to be remembered that should the IDF withdraw, even for the 42-day first phase of a deal, in an effort to secure the release of numerous living hostages, we would never be able to return.

In light of the recent deaths of the six hostage it has been shown the abject barbaric cruelty of Hamas. To initiate a withdrawal will “not bring back the hostages” but would have the “opposite” effect leaving the "Philadelphi Corridor" will enable Hamas to spirit the hostages to Iran or Yemen, overground, during that 42-day first phase.

I also wholeheartedly agree with Bibi's statement; " in order to prevail in the existential war against Iran and its axis, “we must stand united as one person against a cruel enemy that wants to destroy all of us, all of us without any exceptions.”
Critic must remember that Israel agreed to what President Biden presented on May 31 as well as to the ‘final bridging proposal’ on August 16. The bottom line is Hamas has rejected ALL the proposals

In conclusion, "Even though we are very close to dismantling Hamas,” Israel still has to find an alternative to the terror group’s civilian control over the lives of the residents of the "Gaza Strip.

"Hamas's primary goal is to remain in power and return to the pre-October 7 era, when it built a large terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip. Hamas knows it will not be able to accomplish its aims without a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and an official end of the war."- Bassam Tawil

The "Big Lie" of the "Palestinian Narrative"

The essential framing of the "Palestinian Narrative" is that the bountiful and beautiful “land of Palestine” was once a rural land of peace and contentment where Muslims, Jews and Christians lived happily and peacefully together. 

According to this "Kumbaya" view that distorts historical facts and context, the golden age was "brutally ended" with the UN imposed catastrophe (Nakba) that was the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. 

According to their fantasy it was then that the UN and the European nations opened the door to "alien" European usurpers who then for no reason forced 750,000 Palestinians to “leave their homes so that the Israelis could settle there”.

By this highly propagandized falestinian dezinformatsiya narrative, the UN and the Europeans (the British and the US), made "Palestine" into an outpost of Western imperialism.

The UN and the Europeans (the British and the US) did this by allowing the "Zionist" to take "their" land and to impose an “apartheid”regime over the native population. 

According to the "narrative" it is same "Zionist Regime" that ultimately turned Gaza into a closed off "Concentration Camp" as it "commits genocide' of the poor residents of Gaza.

According to this highly distorted "Palestinian Narrative" the oppressed and persecuted "Palestinians" have bravely resisted the occupation of their land for decades. 

Those who have "resisted" and have been killed as they defend "their land"; their homes, their community, or their religion, aren’t considered victims. 

They are known as ‘shaheed’ according to the concept of “martyrdom”,where one who bears witness becomes a "martyr". They are the "true" heroes who have a special place in Palestinian #Pay4Slay society. 

Their "narrative" relies on the concept of "resistance" which was imbodied in the waves of “intifadas”, which means to “rise up against oppression” and “resist persecution”. These "Intifadas" were instigated by the "Shebab"- the youths- of "Palestine" in the first intifada of 1987-1993 and the second from 2000-2005 which included horrific suicide bombings of innocent Israeli citizens. 

The naive reader, or person unfamiliar with the FACTUAL TRUE historical narative of the Arab-Israeli conflict and is exposed to the Tsunami of distortions and lies of "Palestinian dezinformatsiya" Are not informed or aware that the second Intifada only ended after the construction of the walled barriers, fences and creation of numerous check-points to prevent the suicide bombers from entering to become martyrs. 

I have several times pointed out in my Blog entries how in the aftermath of the embarrassment of the massive defeat of Arab armies, who were armed with the most advanced Soviet weaponry in 1956 and even more so in 1967 and 1973. The KGB had launched the Active Measures or ideological subversion plan against the West to “changing the perception of reality to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions.”

The planned operation was known as SIG which is the Russian acronym for Sionistskiye Gosudarstva, or "Jewish (or Zionist) Government." The operation started shortly after 1967 to incite hatred and create chaos against the Jewish (Western Orientated Democracy) as means to create upheaval in the Middle Eas They then initiated the "falestinian dezinformatsiya campaign" of subvertisment to undermine the once favorable view of the Jewish State of Israel which had been very favorable of a "Tiny David fightining a Goliath" to one of a despised abominable one.

This campaign of dezinformatsiya became an obsession with the Soviets in the utter defeat, once more, of the Arabs in the Yom Kippur war of 1973. Realizing that through warfare they could not succeed in defeating Israel the KGB set the stage for the infamous Yasser Arafat 1975 -Zionism equals Racism speech were he outlines the method to "Negate Israel".

This “art” of ex-Soviet brand dezinformatsiya, is being used successfully by the New "Palestinians" in their "Mass and Social Media" campaign where they present known forged documents as genuine; invent ingenious but implausible reasons for distrusting genuine documents; attribute false conclusions to books and sources that report the opposite; manipulate statistics to support their given point of view; and deliberately mis-translate texts.

According to the Palestinian narrative, “The Palestinian struggle for justice and freedom”, today, “is a lesson for us all” this "narrative" utilizes the zeal of "youthful idealism" to spread through the Western Democracies in universities. 

They are taught by "educators" that by expressing support abd to identify with the Palestinian cause they are joining a solidarity movement (and community) backed by a “majority of the people in the world”.   

According to this propagandized narrative being spread on the social media, the "people of Palestine" have endured many repeated setbacks as they continue to fight and sacrifice to achieve that moment of ultimate triumph when, in the final struggle, these Zionists will be vanquished and the Jews expelled from "THEIR" land.

According to the Palestinian narrative; once ALL the post 1948 Jews are expelled or eliminated a new age for "Palestine; "From the river to the sea"(the Jordan river to the Mediterranean Sea) will be ushered in.

And in the end all the "Displaced Palestinians" will be amply compensated for all their past suffering by the return of their homes and their land. 

WHY? Learn the Truth

It terribly saddens me to read in the news that two more young men have died fighting against a recognized FTO Hamas -whose members are taught hatred from birth in a barbaric primitive backward society.

I see demonstrations on the News and I hear the so called news personalities and the world leaders spewing out such far fetched lies and corruptions of truth that regrefully show just how deep ignorance has reached into the minds of the uneducated and spineless "educators", news personalities and politicians.

Once truth, integrity and education shined in the eyes of those who wished to know and relay knowlwdge based on documented facts.

I look around me and all I see today is that we are emerged in a vast abyss of hatred and ignorance.
I readily see that the perception of reality has been so perverted by hate filled "falestinian dezinformatsiya' to such an extent that despite the abundance of factual information available no one is able, nor wishes to come to sensible conclusions.

I have written here and spoken of the need of the people of the world to recognize that they have been nefariously manipulated by a planned ideological subversion.

The world is focused on the "Plight of the Palestinians" and not one individual is willing to speak the truth!
No one dares to ask the question WHY?

All that you are shown is their childish whinning and demand for a fantasy-"From the river to the Sea"- that they once could have had a national entity but THEY themselves CHOOSE WILLINGLY to set out in the road to death and war.
It is the collective complicity ot the world that allows this fallacy to continue.
It does not penetrate the minds of those screaming banshees that the "Plight of the Palestinians" is a self imposed situation!

That if the "Palestinians" where to finally acknowledge the fact that their grandparents set out to exterminate the Jews of Eretz Yisrael -the "Yishuv" and rejected the United Nations Partition in 1947 they would be no "Plight"!

It is a well known fact that people die in war when one takes up arms to fight and refuses to sit and negotiate and compomise for the sake of life and peace. This is the Judeo Christian view on the sanctity of life -for HaShem created life to live.
It is this simple fact that I have learned over the years in my experience with Arabs that peace cannot be achieved unless they realize that no amount of warfare will achieve their goal.

However, sanctity of life is NOT part of Islamic religious belief.

For under their religion ALL the lands conquered by Islam are Islamic Lands.
For the uneducated poorer classes they are taught by their religious leaders that Allah has cursed the Jews for our treatment and disobeying Mohammed. This "divine" curse has been the cause of the scattering the Jews throughout the globe, forever exiling them from their ancient homeland.
For them to die as "Shahidim" for Dar al-Islam as "true believers" is the stated goal of the Islamic extremists who prevail among the "Palestinians".
For [many Muslims], the Koran, every word of it, is the dictated word of Allah (God) as told by the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) to Allah's prophet Muhammad....

Those Palestinians affiliated with Hamas feel they have the right to murder Jews anywhere at any time. They believe there is no credence in the historically reality of a biblical Israel, no legitimacy in the geopolitical areas of Judea and Samaria.
Therefore the real dispute from that brand of Islamic Jew-hatred is not about land, or "refugees" or a "two-state solution." It is about the refusal by many Muslims to co-exist with Jews. The anti-Israel chant of pro-Palestinian protestors is: "From the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea, Palestine will be free" -- meaning "free" of Jews. This is the hoped-for Islamist outcome that is reinforced in Arab school textbooks, maps that omit Israel, and even crossword puzzles.

It is way past time that those who "dream of a two state" solution wake up and realize the truth that until the Arabs can comprehend that their vision of Martyrdom death and Islamic fundementalist belief must be changed -as "His Royal Highness" Prince Faisal ibn Husseini had once written:

"We Arabs, especially the educated among us look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement" Prince Feisal continued, "We are working together for a reformed and revived Near East, and our two movements complete one another. The Jewish movement is national and not imperialist. Our movement is ?national and not imperialist, and there is room in Syria for us both. Indeed I think that neither can be a real success without the other. People less informed and less responsible than our leaders and yours, ignoring the need for co-operation of the Arabs and Zionists have been trying to exploit the local difficulties that must necessarily arise in Palestine in the early stages of our movements. Some of them have, I am afraid, misrepresented your aims to the Arab peasantry, and our aims to the Jewish peasantry, with the result that interested parties have been able to make capital out of what they call our differences."

Two IDF reservists killed in Gaza a day earlier laid to rest...

Two IDF reservists, Sgt. first class (res.) Omer Smadga, 25, and Sgt. first class (res.) Saadia Yaakov Derai, 27, were laid to rest on Friday.

Omer Smadga was buried at a ceremony in Netanya, as his father, Olympic judo medalist Oren Smadga (the first Israeli male to win an Olympic bronze medal in the 1992 Summer Olympics) eulogized his son:

"We heard from the commanders what really happened there, we saw a commander who was truly broken and in pain...From this place, I say to you soldiers - hold your heads high, push harder as much as possible, keep going, and don't stop until we win. That's my message to everyone involved in this war. Am Yisrael Chai."

Saadia Yaakov Derai was laid to rest in Holon. His father Chaim mourned: "The year of mourning for Grandpa Yaakov hasn't ended, and you've already gone to join him. You found your place in the study hall, but you were also a brave and heroic fighter. They said how strong you were. You were gentle as a feather with people, and knew how to convey any message to everyone. As a class commander, you cared for the soldiers; you were like their father. Since his bar mitzvah, Saadia was a Torah reader, and knew all the Torah. You were sharp in wisdom and Talmud, a delightful child."

“May all who mourn their loss be comforted by the Lord Almighty and may it be His will that they / WE never know the pain of sorrow no more."
