Taking into account the vast amount of funding and  military equipment that has been poured into the Gaza Strip for many decades - President Trump’s vision of Gaza becoming a Riviera in the Middle East could have become a reality. Instead, with the unanimous support of the Gazan citizens, the terrorist group Hamas, has made it quite clear that their sole purpose is to destroy Israel. Jews elsewhere they leave in the hands of their fellow terrorists       Exactly 20 years ago, over 80,000 Israeli’s were forced to abandon their thriving communities in the Gaza Strip, for the sake of peace - making Gaza Judenreim. Ever since, the Palestinians have attacked Israel in every conceivable way  - culminating in October 7 th , 2023, which, they believed, would put an end to the Jewish state. The Gazan Arabs have been offered  a Palestinian state by almost all the recent American Presidents, including Biden - who all wanted the credit for ending the I...

  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.

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 ha...

  My family has had quite a long history with the Gaza Strip. My husband and I joined a newly formed moshav in the Negev, seven kms. from Gaza in 1960, where my four children grew up. My oldest son, who is a farmer, and his four married children, plus his youngest unmarried daughter, still live there with their growing families In 1949, Arab terrorists, known as Fedayeen were trained and equipped by Egyptian Intelligence to engage in hostile action on the border, and infiltrate Israel - to commit acts of sabotage and murder. The Fedayeen operated mainly from bases in Jordan, so that Jordan would bear the brunt of Israel’s retaliation, which inevitably followed. The terrorist attacks violated the armistice agreement provision that prohibited the initiation of hostilities by paramilitary forces – nevertheless, it was Israel that was condemned by the UN Security Council for its counter-attacks!   Since then, terrorism from Gaza has “rocketed”. We have experienced it all: su...
