Israeli Intelligence and the Hezbollah pagers

Following a speech made by Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, where he denounced the use of cellphones - calling them Israel’s “agent” ordered officers to refrain from communicating any details concerning Hezbollah’s movements and plans through cell phones. 

Due to the belief that "low tech" pagers could not be "compromised", Nasrallah ordered Hezbollah officers to carry pagers at all times so as to remain in constant contact and thereby promoted a more comprehensive use of pagers. 

The first small batch order placed with the Hungarian company "BAC Consulting KFT" who "merely served as a broker" forwarded the order to Global NORTA, a company based in Sofia, Bulgaria, who "was responsible for manufacturing as well as exporting the pagers to Lebanon in 2022, so as to NOT constitute a serious violation of European Union laws. 

Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese firm, said it had authorized BAC Consulting to use its name on the pagers that were used in the first attack, but that the Hungarian company was responsible for manufacturing and design.

After there arrival they were tested and placed in service and more orders for BAC manufactured pagers were reportedly placed by operatives of the Lebanese terrorist organization.

According to the New York Times, who cited two American "intelligence officials". "Since his speech, there was a significant increase in shipments of pagers to Lebanon, with thousands reportedly arriving and being distributed to Hezbollah officers and their allies." 

"According to multiple reports, the pagers were set to beep, prompting their owners to see what message Hezbollah’s command sent, only to explode a few seconds later, sowing chaos across Lebanon."Israel will be mapping out injuries, hospital admissions, social media posts, electronic communications, news footage, and medical records, linking them all to people who had these pagers today." 

The reported injuries and deaths of the Hezbollah terrorists are unimportant, what IS important is that Israeli intelligence just created a massive and growing "treasure trove" of information about both known and previously unknown Hezbollah terrorists, as well as their supporters, partners, friends, family members, colleagues, workplaces, vehicles, and homes. 

Israeli intelligence recently created an incredibly dense, comprehensive in depth and "up-to-date" social graph of an entire terrorist network, across Lebanon as well as neighboring countries. It is incredible what our Israeli intelligence has accomplished.

Imagine a dark room with a massive Christmas tree in it. The tree has thousands of electric lights hung all over it, but they’re unlit because the wall plug is not plugged into the wall socket.

However once plugged in and used, each of these pagers began to function as a GPS tracking device for days or weeks prior to this attack. 

Israeli intelligence has been monitoring all of them for sometime now accumulating information not "just" where they live but where they congregate and who they congregate with as well as their locations. Through the "BAC" pagers Israeli Intelligence could tract where they went so as to identify who the people are that they worked together with.

By this method Israeli intelligence could identify the operators of the weapons systems and thereby ALL the locations of underground tunnels where the Hezbollah rockets and launchers are. 

Before the IDF starts our massive operation against Hezbollah, undoubtedly they will be programming the GPS coordinates of those locations directly into our firing systems

These pagers have provided a treasure trove of open source intelligence available on the faces and identities of all the people who were hit as well as many, who were never in possession of a pager.

IAF drones and our satellite system are monitoring the entrances to every hospital and recording video and photos of all who are entering and exiting. Our special intelligence units are also monitoring all social media as well as CCTV systems.

As a reminder of our capabilities, remember the story of  Yahya Abd-al-Latif Ayyash was the chief bombmaker of Hamas earned the nickname "the Engineer"

Following the lead of the story of dealing with the "Engineer" in 1996. The Mossad was able to learn of Nasarallah's order to acquire new pagers and "insert" small quantities of one of the most powerful explosive chemicals known as (PETN) Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate before they even arrived in the Hands of Hezbollah members in February. 

The stealthy design of the battery comprised a thin, square sheet with six grams of white pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) plastic explosive  inserted between two rectangular battery cells with the remaining space between the battery cells occupied by a strip of highly flammable material that acted as the detonator.

Along with the PETN, remote satelite activated GPS "responders" were embed in the printed circuit board, allowing Israeli Intelligence to remotely tract and monitor the devices as well as overheat and detonate the Lithium Battery within the device.

The agents who designed the pagers put a battery that concealed a tiny yet powerful charge of plastic explosive and a novel detonator that an X-ray couldn't detect. From the outside, the pager’s power source looked like a standard lithium-ion battery pack used in thousands of consumer electronics goods.

And yet, the battery, labelled LI-BT783, had a problem: Like the pager, it did not exist on the market.

So Israel’s agents created a backstory from scratch.

Additional information (facts) about the company that sold the beepers to Hezbollah from Open Source Intel @Osint613 

- According to the Hungarian company registry, it turns out that the Hungarian company **BAC Consulting KFT**, which manufactured the beepers for Hezbollah, was only established in 2022 and reached a turnover of one million euros in just two years.

- The domain was purchased in 2020, two years before the company was founded.

- The domain previously belonged to another company that offered a jewelry line for sale, called “Nelkhael,” after the 21st angel from a list of 72 angels in Kabbalah. .

- The company's website is filled with generic photos. It claims to specialize in various consulting fields, including environment, development, and international relations. It is unclear with whom the company has worked or what its experience is.

- The company's official address is a private residence in Budapest.

- The owner of the company, and apparently its only employee (according to the website), is Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono, a 49-year-old Hungarian-Italian businesswoman, who has an impressive and maintained LinkedIn profile. 

However, it is filled with posts irrelevant to her work and not typical for LinkedIn.

"Christina herself, and her background, are shrouded in inconsistencies and suspicions. The places she claimed to have worked don’t exist, and their websites are nowhere to be found. She personally denied any connection to the production of pagers in a statement to NBC, also refuting the claim by the Taiwanese "Gold Apollo" brand that she had received permission only to use their trademark, while all manufacturing and design were handled by her company." Zeev Avrahami, Budapest

There are only 3-4 pictures of her on the internet, which is very unusual.

- The other employees listed in the company have strange names, fake profiles, or are actual people who do not work for the company.

- Cristiana's LinkedIn profile was created in 2019.

- Her picture is also being used by another company, suggesting it may have been a fake picture.

- The other company also appears fake, and its phone number is disconnected.

The company's website was blocked this morning, now requiring a username and password to access.

Attempts to call the company or Cristiana have gone unanswered.

The Solution for the Gaza Dilemma

Among the "Least educated" in the Arab world talk is cheap and fraught with lies.

We have all seen that for years the endless warfare and the expenditures of the world in the "Plight of the Palestinians" UNWRA etc, which has been a HUGE financial burden on US and EU Tax payer.

Billions of "donated" funds unaccounted for, "given" to the "Palestinians" for what purpose? The enrichment of the overly corrupt leaders who went from poor peasants to billionaires. "Leaders" who enriched themselves and their families and cronies while the poor "Palestinian refugee" is used as "cannon fodder" to die in their consistent efforts of war and terrorism to "eradicate the Jewish State". Their deaths, in the hundreds and thousands, caused by their own hands in their self- inflicted "Genocide".

So, in light of the Hamas never ending demands for the (non) release of the hostages and the demand of King Bibi for the control over the "Philadelphi Corridor" I have a possible alternative solution.

I propose what I call a "Detoxification Initiative" to rid the residents of Gaza and Palestinian society, culture, press, economy, judiciary, and politics of the "False Palestinian Narrative" an Islamic Extremist ideology and there by rid the area of Hamas / Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorism.

In my proposal I propose a initiative under a "Stewardship" by an organized administration from members of the "Abrahamic Accords" to redirect and account for all the massive foreign aid being sent for the reconstruction of Gaza.

I propose that the US Government offer any Gaza resident, who "turns over" a LIVE hostage to Israeli authorities A monetary reward and FREE passage for himself and his family to the USA.
For the return of the remains, of a regretfully dead hostage, that a monetary reward of $100,000 dollars be given and if desired free passage out.

That a large monetary reward and American aid assistance guarantee be offered to the various powerful Bedouin families "Clans" in Gaza to assist in obtaining the safe release of the hostages and to help in the recovery of the remains of those murdered.

UPDATE

In a widely circulated video, former CEO of SodaStream Daniel Birnbaum addressed what he called "the good people in Gaza," saying, "It's time to wrap things up. It's time to move on." where he make a monetary award just like my proposal....

As well as a non-negotiable demand ( to guarantee monetary assistance) to cease ALL arms -and components to produce weapons - smuggling from Sinai.

Furthermore, a bounty of $10,000- Dead or Alive- for every Hamas fighter be offered.
A $5,000 bounty for the disclosure of tunnels
A $1,000 bounty for the turning over of ALL weapons

I further proposed that a "safe zone" be established and run by a joint Arab and US task force whereby ALL residents of Gaza be processed through a processing facility to filter out and identify and separate terrorist members from the innocent civilians.

I propose a "Detoxification Initiative" through a comprehensive re-education and reteaching of values to instill a desire for life and coexistence.
As well as the instilling of a rejection of the "Nacbah" return fantasy and to aspire to moving forward and to stop the "Lie" of the false narrative.
A strict monitoring process be enacted against those teaching Islamic fundamentalism and hatred, That moderate Arab countries lead the way among the populace to accept moderate Islamic teachings.

I further propose the end to "refugee status", "refugee camps" and the cessation of UNWRA.
I further propose that "Western" donor states place a demand for payment be extracted from Arab States, for the reconstruction of Gaza.

I further propose that in the "reconstruction plan" that a project be instituted that ALL the remains of the destroyed buildings be used to "reclaim the sea" (read landfill) to expand Gaza westward.

This "reconstruction plan" will include the employment of the residents, which will entice them to prefer job, and a livelihood over death and "Martyrdom".

Within the "reconstruction plan" the establishment and construction of:
1) Electricity power plants and a proper infrastructure
2) desalinization plants
3) a proper water and sewage infrastructure and to process "gray water for agriculture"
4) new residential areas and commercial "hubs"
5) new hospitals and the establishment of a "National Health system" with clinics.
6) new schools and "higher institutions of learning.

That ANY Palestinian who "openly" participates in the reeducation program be offered employment and be provided with housing,

That ANY Palestinian "farmer" who "openly" participates in the reeducation program be offered title to 20 Dunam and assistance to enable their farming.

As to the "selling" of the a "Detoxification Initiative" and "Reconstruction Plan" to the residents of Gaza.

It is all dependent on just how tired the innocent "cannon fodder" aka "Human shields" are of the continuous misery that their fantasy of the false narrative has brought them. 

As to the "selling" of the a "Detoxification Initiative" and "Reconstruction Plan" to the leaders of the world. It is all dependent on just how much strength of decency and character there is in them to see through the lies of the false narrative they have swallowed.

Once the leaders of the world wake up to their "bamboozlement" it is ALL dependent on them to take a hard stance against the "Arabs of the Mandated Areas"?

It solely upon them to change from pressuring Israel to place the onus solely on the "Arabs of the Mandated Areas" to accept reality and why it is worthwhile to them to concede!

The world needs to be awakened to the absolute truth!! That the issue is NOT Israel and the Jewish State, but the incessant refusal of the "Arabs of the Mandated Areas" to accept Jews as neighbors in a very REAL Peace?

The world and the "Arabs of the Mandated Areas" need to awaken to the stark reality and the very real truth that despite all the wars and terrorism, they have used in their vain attempts to erradicate the "Jewish State". It has brought upon them nothing but destruction, misery and death.

Inconclusion I propose that the area of Gaza will remain in a "Stewardship" and will be judged for sovereignty once reeducation is successfully completed.

The truth of cold hard facts

Facebook prompted me; "What is on my mind?" 

And 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 emphasize with you over your fears for the wellbeing of your loved ones. These latest anti-government protests in Israel, triggered by the murder of the six hostages, are being extensively covered and celebrated by Hamas-affiliated media outlets. The protesters are being referred to by Hamas and its supporters as "Jewish settlers," although they live inside Israel, not in "West Bank" settlements.

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! 

As Bassam Tawil recently wrote:

"Hamas, which does not recognize Israel's right to exist, views all Jews living on land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea as "settlers." For Hamas and many Palestinians, there is no difference between a Jew living in Tel Aviv and a Jew living in a settlement in the West Bank: every Jew is a "settler."

Hamas, in addition, does not distinguish between a right-wing and left-wing Jew. Some of the thousands of Israelis murdered, wounded and kidnapped during the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel were known for their advocacy for coexistence with Arabs, providing employment for Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip, and fostering genuine connections." 

Let us take note as to WHO the Hamas terrorists slaughtered and took hostage on the bloody Shabbat Morning of the Jewish religious holiday of Simchat Torah.

One of the hostages, 83-year-old Oded Lifshitz together with his wife Yocheved, were peace activists who worked for Israeli organization "On the Way to Recovery", which helps aid Palestinian citizens in need of medical care in getting transportation to Israeli hospitals across the border. Before his abduction, he regularly transported Palestinian patients from the Gaza Strip to receive medical treatment in hospitals across Israel.

Vivian Silver, 74, was an Israeli-Canadian peace activist from Kibbutz Be'eri near the border with the Gaza Strip. Silver was a former board member of B'Tselem,,was one of the founders of the "Women Wage Peace" movement that was established in 2014 to pressure the Israeli government to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians. She was murdered by Hamas terrorists during the barbaric October 7th pogrom.

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; "Let 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

King Bibi, the Likud and Control over the Philidelphia corridor

What is on my mind? Is being truthful and stating the cold hard facts!

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."

War. What War?

My community, the "small" city of Ma'alot -Tarshicah a "joint Municipality" with the Arab village of Tarshicah, lies 7.45km or 4.63 miles southwest of the "dip" in the border from Rmaych, Lebanon or 9.44 km or 5.87 from Ramyeh, Lebanon.

In difference to many communities immediately north of us, Ma'alot was not ordered to evacuate, and we live our regular daily lives as though nothing out of the ordinary is happening. -For us "veteran" residents we are quite familiar with the situation and the name of our town is infamous and synonymous with Arab terrorism.

Seeing my fellow residents of Ma'alot most of whom are the descendents of the original "Maabara" refugee camp composed of "Jews of Arab Lands" who were brutally expelled from their homes  between 1949 -1956 as well as those Jews who in 1990 with the openning of the gates of Russia came "Home" go around doing banal daily chores ever since that 7th of October,2023. It does not "click in" that we are at war. 

Yet as banal as life is, things can become VERY deadly very rapidily merely because Nassarallah and his cronies decide to "let lose" a barrage of Iranian made explosive laden rockets. Which if NOT intercepted by the Tamir interceptors(*) of the Iron Dome Defense System can not only destroy homes but murder and maim Israeli civilians-Arab and Jew alike!

That many times while you are simply walking the dog or simply out for a stroll the "Red Alert App" or air raid siren may fail to operate quickly and it is only by instinct that you catch the familiar sounds and whoosh of air of approaching rockets and how you lunge to the ground for cover. 

In the cases of a "near miss" "If" you are LUCKY you are showered with the dirt and debris. If they land further away your feel the concussion of the explosion as you remain laying there aware that pieces of intercepted rockets can still kill you.

Oh yes I see ALL the "Social Media" and news broadcasts of "distinguished" news journalists nodding their heads in agreement with pro-Palestinian propagandists of how the poor citizens of Gaza are and how THEIR children are "traumatized" ...but where is the mentioning of our kids my grandchildren who since October of 2023 have heard; the "out going" artillery fire, the explosions of the Tamir Interceptors shooting down the incoming Hezbollah rockets, the explosions cause by the landing of Bulkan-heavey mortars-with 250Kg explosive warheads nearby, or the sounds of the explosive drones ...

My grandchildren Ori Meir 11.5 Tehillah 10 and Shirah Rachel 9, regretfully have become well acquainted with the need to "duck and cover" or run to shelter if they can. It is the fear that is in their eyes when the incoming explodes that makes my blood boil!

For me, a combat experienced member of the IDF I already suffer from "Profound PTSD" and TBI-Traumatic Brain Injury from 3 IEDs while serving in Lebanon from 1978 -1997. I just chalk it up to yet another day attempting to be a "Free Jew" -read "Zionist" - in my indigenous homeland.

Some factual information regarding the 2006 Second Lebanon War:

During the 2006 Second Lebanon War, Hezbollah-fired some 4,228 rockets at a rate of more than 100 per day, unprecedented since the Iran–Iraq War. About 95% of these were 122 mm (4.8 in) Katyusha artillery rockets, which carried warheads up to 30 kg (66 lb) and had a range of up to 30 km (19 mi) which landed in northern Israel, including on Haifa, the country's third largest city. Over 1680 landed in a five kilometer radius of Ma'alot, six less than 100 meters from my home. 

The "indiscriminant Hezbollah" rocket barrage killed 15 out of a total of 43 Israeli civilians (including four who died of heart attacks during rocket barrages) were Arab Israelis.

On August 3rd, 2006: Shanati Shanati, 18; Amir Naeem, 18; and Muhammad Fa'ur, 17, Bedouin residents of Ma'alot were killed bt a Hezbollah rocket.

During the "Second War In Lebanon" some 250,000 Israeli citizens had to evacuate and relocate to other parts of Israel - including my wife and five of my children,  while an estimated 1 million Israelis were confined in or near bomb shelters during the conflict.

Many like me in the "Development Town" of Ma'alot we do not have "secure rooms" nor bombshelters in our buildings. Many of the neighborhoods of Ma'alot  were built during the "Austerity " period in the middle 1950's when the nascent State of Israel had very little money to build housing for the 850,00 Mizrachi-Jews of Arab Lands who were expelled over night. 

These hapless Jews kicked out of their homes where some had lived for centuries. Their and families lives torn apart.Their possessions, savings, property and businesses seized or stolen thrown out into the streets to flee for Eretz Yisrael when the Arabs lost the Nachba -ther tragedy of their defeat by the "Dhimmi" Jews!

My neighbors and my daughter in law's family barely escaped the blood thirsty mobs to flee to the ships that transported them to Haifa in 1955. In the middle of the night they were shipped by truck to live temporarily in the abandoned Arab village of Tarschich. 

Later they were "moved" into tin huts of the tempoary housing of the "Maabara" or "Transit Camp" created in the valley near what would become the "Development Town" of Ma'alot.

We have been neglected and forgotten as we live in the "Peripheral area" (out of sight, out of mind).

Socially and economically deprived, we continue to survive on low income jobs, inferior health care, education and housing. Our grown children flee for the better conditions in the center of the country.

Now for what is saving lives:

(*) As for the Elbit designed and patented Tamir interceptors of the "Iron Dome Air Defensive System", developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries.

The Iron Dome system is designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of 4 to 70 kilometres (2–43 mi) away and whose trajectory would take them to an Israeli populated area. The Iron Dome was declared operational and initially deployed on 27 March 2011 near Beersheba and   the system successfully intercepted a rocket launched from Gaza for the first time on April 7th 2011.

Each battery costs about $50 million and the interceptor missiles used are called in Hebrew the "Tamir" (a Hebrew acronym for Til Meyaret or 'interceptor missile') and they cost around $40,000 each. The the interceptor missile uses a proximity fuze mechanism to detonate and destroy incoming rockets,

Iron Dome has three central components:

1) Detection & Tracking Radar: the radar system is built by Elta, an Israeli defense company and subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries, and by the IDF.

2) Battle Management & Weapon Control (BMC): the control center is built for Rafael by mPrest 

3) Missile Firing Unit: the unit launches the Tamir interceptor missile, equipped with electro-optic sensors and several steering fins for high maneuverability. The missile is built by Rafael. A typical Iron Dome battery has 3–4 launchers (20 missiles per launcher). 

The Iron Dome (Hebrew: kippat barzel) radar developed by Elta compliments a"specialized rapid data system" to correct the interceptors in mid flight to their target. The system's radar is referred to as EL/M-2084. It detects the rocket's launch and tracks its trajectory. The BMC calculates the impact point according to the reported data, and uses this information to determine whether the target constitutes a threat to a designated area. Only when that threat is determined, is an interceptor missile fired to destroy the incoming rocket before it reaches the predicted impact area

It should be noted that within the US-Israel "Joint Military" assistance program from 2011 to 2021, the United States contributed a total of US$1.6 billion to the Iron Dome defense system. Israel uses the "US AID package"-to purchase most of the components from Raytheon, a US Defense Contractor, who since July 2014 has been a major U.S. partner in co-production of major components for the Iron Dome's Tamir intercepting missile.  The US Congress voted to add another US$1 billion to provide more Tamir Interceptors.

It needs to be noted that Rayethon the U.S. Defense Contractor supplies components through various US owned and subcontractors -with US workers - in a brand new Tamir missile manufacturing facility in East Camden, Arkansas USA. NOT JUST FOR ISRAEL BUT for the US Marine Corps and partner forces.

This means that ALL the US Aid Funding is going back into the pockets of a US Defense Contractor who employs some 70,000 US citizens. 

Now compare this to the unaccounted millions given -with absolutely NO restrictions nor accounting to UNWRA and the Palestinians.

More importantly the Iron Dome Air Defense System is a means of warding off missiles sent in an act of a  blatant "International War Crime", against non military civilian targets within Israel.

Yet, one wonders where is this mentioned in the Mass Media of the world?
