A WORLD IN DENIAL

 


It is inconceivable  that  the Arab media, which disseminates Israeli “atrocities” throughout the world, is blindly accepted by millions of people who have no knowledge of the true facts. Most news concerning Israel is biased, invariably falsified, distorted and not even properly verified by supposedly reputable sources, such as the B.B.C., CNN, REUTERS, the Guardian, etc.

Currently, the world is concentrating on the war in Gaza, and the accusation by the Palestinians in Gaza of ethnic cleansing by Israel.

Israel is a Jewish state. Its minorities are Muslim, Christian and Druze Arabs. Their numbers have grown steadily, along with the country’s overall population. The Arabic  population in Israel in 1948 was 56,000. Today there are 2,178,000 Arabs living in Israel. 

In areas under the control of the Palestinian Authority, everyone is Arab. Christian Arabs are a dwindling minority that fears for its security. The percentage of Christians has been declining rapidly, from 12 percent in 1949 to one percent in 2017.

As a result of the 1948 war of Independence, over 850,000 Jews were severely persecuted and forced to leave their homes in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Morocco and several other Arab countries. Many of them in communities that had existed for thousands of years, and had been a positive influence on the countries where they lived. Almost 100% ethnic cleansing of Jews by Arabs.

Hamas has its tentacles entrenched into Gazan society. Palestinian polling from June shows that the majority of Gazans are still satisfied with Hamas and that the level of satisfaction has gradually increased since last year. Most Gazans approve of Hamas’s decision to launch the war on October 7th, and would prefer Hamas rule over the US backed PA. After Hamas blew up the border, a mob of average Gazans then entered Israel to rape, murder and loot. Shortly after the Hamas massacre, videos surfaced of Gazan residents cheering at the sight of wounded or dead Israeli hostages, piled on trucks and motorbikes.

Rockets and mortar shells are kept in children’s rooms in many homes in Gaza. Most children in Gaza are not like children elsewhere. Some are specially trained by Hamas and fitted out with guns and, in some cases, even suicide belts. Intelligence received from the scenes of the October 7 attack, and from Gaza, included schoolbooks that deny the legitimacy of Israel, promote violence against its Jewish citizens, and feature games and puzzles that teach anti-Semitism to young Gazans.

Hamas’s Gaza tunnel network is between 350 and 450 miles long. An astounding figure given that the enclave is only some 140 square miles in total size.

                                                                        

                                                                                 Tunnel under Shifa hospital

Schools, hospitals, mosques, serve as terror headquarters - with stores of weapons, rocket launchers, and military structures.  Terrorists in Gaza have repeatedly used UNRWA facilities as bases for their operations. A Hamas data centre was discovered hidden underneath UNRWA’s Gaza headquarters. With a population of 2 million, Gaza has 36 hospitals. There are Arab countries with a population of 30 million which don’t have so many.

UNWRA in Gaza was created solely for Palestinians, employs almost exclusively Palestinians, and has been co-opted by an extreme version of Palestinian nationalists. The UNWRA model perpetuates the conflict by passing entitlement from generation to generation. Breaking UNWRA’s monopoly on services in the Gaza Strip is critical.

GRANDMA'S ARMY IN EMOTIONAL DISTRESS

  GRANDMA'S ARMY IN EMOTIONAL DISTRESS Yesterday felt like the longest day in my life. I was   spending   the festival - which is considered the happiest in the Jewish calendar - with my daughter, her husband, son and very pregnant daughter-in-law in Gannei Tal (a moshav down south). Instead of dancing in the synagogue we were being confined to their “safety room”, like prisoners, while continuously being bombarded by the thousands of rockets coming from Gaza. Not long after the first siren woke us all up at 6:30 in the morning my grandson, who was a commanding officer in an elite unit, was called-up. He was gradually joined by his three brothers, one son’s triplets, plus the son and daughter of my other son. With the addition of two of my granddaughters’ husbands. Some are on the border with Gaza and others were sent to the north, where the threat from Hizbullah is always imminent.   Like the Yom Kippur War, the Arabs took Israel completely by surprise. The war began with a

GRANDMA'S ARMY IN DANGER

  The “Israeli Defense Forces”   is the only army in the world to be named as such. Since its inception, it has never been Israel’s intention   to be the aggressor or to start a war.   Israel is not looking to enlarge its territory, to become an Empire, or to make converts.   There are 56 Islamic countries, 125 predominantly Christian countries - how dare the Jews claim the right to have a country of   their own, and such a big one! People are used to the Jews being helpless, homeless, and defenceless.   That has been our role in the world for the last 2,000 years. For days, the civilized world has been steeped in stories of the unbelievable barbarity perpetrated by Hamas in Israel. And yet, there is still an international political regime, including academia, that romanticises so-called Palestinians and now blame Israelis for being brutalised. How can one rationalise the murder of close to 1,400 individuals, including rape, decapitating babies, and setting fire to whole famili

GRANDMA'S ARMY AT WAR

  Six-and-a-haIf years ago I began to write a blog “Grandma’s Army”, as I had seven grandchildren serving in the army at the same time.   Little did I dream that today, that number would jump to seven + ten, Apart from two in the regular army, all the rest are in the Reserves. Both of my sons, who are over 60 years-old, are in army uniform again. They have volunteered to drive army trucks for transport purposes all over the country, after taking a special driving course. Since I began this blog, Azriel and his wife have returned to live in their home on the moshav. They had been evacuated since the beginning of the war, since their home is in the “Gaza envelope”. Azriel has four children and one son-in-law in the army since the beginning. His officer daughter, Adi was called up to the War room of the Gaza Brigade on the second day of the war: “When the first Givati ground forces of the regular army entered Gaza, I knew that my fiancé, Hillel, was amongst them serving as an offi
