Palestinians in Gaza demonstrated against Hamas Tuesday night, with protests taking place both in the northern and southern sections of the coastal enclave.

In footage shown on X of the protest in the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern section, people can be seen chanting “Shiites, Shiites,” a reference to the branch of Islam espoused by both Hamas and its Iranian patrons. “We need food, we need flour, Sinwar and Haniyeh, stay away from our people, you thieves.”

Will this be reported on by mainstream media outlets who have accused Israel of denying humanitarian aid to Gazans? We think not since it’s always Israel who is the aggressor, right?

The Israeli Cabinet on Sunday approved a statement rejecting any unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood, amid reports the Biden administration is considering such a move.

“In light of remarks that have been heard recently in the international community about an attempt to unilaterally force a Palestinian state on Israel, today I submit for government approval a declarative decision on the issue. I am certain that it will receive very broad support,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the beginning of Sunday’s weekly Cabinet meeting.

His office subsequently released the text of the statement:

1. Israel utterly rejects international diktats regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians. A settlement, if it is to be reached, will come about solely through direct negotiations between the parties, without preconditions.

2. Israel will continue to oppose unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state. Such recognition in the wake of the October 7th massacre would be a massive and unprecedented reward to terrorism and would prevent any future peace settlement.

Israel must remain consistent on this unanimous decision. It should not take another massacre to understand that the delusional TWO-STATE SOLUTION can ever happen.

During Sunday’s cabinet discussion of the coming month of Ramadan on the Temple Mount (March 11), Israel Police put forward a compromise proposal regarding limiting the entry of Israeli Arabs to the holy site. According to this proposal, only men aged 40 and over will be allowed in during the first week of Ramadan, and at the end of the week, it will be decided whether to continue imposing the curbs. Curbs on women and children will be decided later.

The position of the head of the Shin Bet and the representatives of the IDF in the discussion was that restrictions on Israeli Arabs could give Hamas what it wanted – unification of arenas and unrest among a population that avoided conflicts throughout the war.

Two individuals were murdered and four people were wounded in a terrorist shooting attack at the Masmiya (Re’em) Junction between Gedera and Kiryat Malachi in southern Israel last Friday afternoon. An armed civilian battled the terrorist and eliminated him.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir arrived at the scene and stated: “This attack proves again that guns save lives. I will expand and grow the program for the right of Israelis to arm themselves. You fight terror not with blinking or with words but with a determined line. That’s how it should be Gaza, Lebanon, and everywhere else. No tolerance against terrorism.”

There’s no doubt that Ben-Gvir is right. With the threat of terrorist attacks still looming over the residents in southern Israel, the powers that be must to come to their senses before they find themselves next victim – powerless, unarmed – and unable to protect themselves.

The IDF announced late Wednesday afternoon that it completed an “extensive wave” of airstrikes in Lebanese territory following a barrage of precision-guided missiles fired at northern Israeli military bases and the cities of Tzfat and Kiryat Shmona.

A female IDF soldier was killed in the terrorist attack and eight others were wounded. An IDF military base in Tzfat sustained a direct hit in the attack.

IDF Chief of Staff LTC Herzi Halevi said, “We are intensifying the strikes all the time, and Hezbollah are paying an increasingly heavy price. The next campaign will have a very strong offensive, and we will use all our tools and capabilities. There is still a long way to go, and we will do it together.”

Today, Halevi told reserve commanders on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon to prepare for war with Hezbollah, vowing not to return the residents of northern Israeli communities unless they can assure a “very high” level of security.

The only way to secure a safe Israel is for the IDF to fully eliminate the terrorist scourge that has targeted and demonized the Jewish Nation State. October 7 was the straw that broke the camel’s back. We continue to pray for the protection and success of the IDF as its dangerous missions press on.

IDF Chief of Staff: ‘Prepare for War in the North’, by Hana Levi Julian/Jewish Press, February 15, 2024

IDF Spokesperson Lt. Col. Daniel Hagari on Tuesday night revealed intelligence findings seized by IDF forces in Gaza, including footage recorded on October 10, 2023, in which Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar appears with his family in tunnels beneath the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Sinwar can be seen fleeing together with three of his children and his wife in one of the tunnels beneath the city, led by his brother Ibrahim. The room in which Sinwar stayed contained a safe filled to the brim with Israeli money; huge amounts of money were discovered there in a separate safe as well.

If this video goes back to October 10, 2023, we have every confidence the IDF has more incriminating material they have not yet shared with the public. We continue to pray for the safety of all IDF forces and that they finish the job without opposing opinions and intellectual babble telling them how to run the Jewish Nation State.

IDF Releases Footage of Sinwar and Family in Tunnels Beneath Khan Younis, by Hana Levi Julian/Jewish Press, February 13, 2024

Shurat HaDin, a Tel Aviv-based organization representing families of victims and survivors of the October 7th massacre, is demanding that UNRWA be listed as a terror organization because of its proven ties to Hamas.

It has been revealed that 12 UNRWA workers took an active part in the October 7th massacre along with the discovery that a Hamas data center was located directly below UNRWA’s Gaza headquarters. Shurat HaDin is pursuing action to ensure the UN “humanitarian” organization’s involvement with terrorism is investigated and exposed.

We applaud Shurat HaDin for advocating to designate UNRWA as the terrorist entity we’ve always known it is. The cascade of emerging revelations about UNRWA cannot be stopped and for any rational minded individual paying attention, they clearly provide the proof of UNRWA’s evil intent – to wipe Israel off of the map.

UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini on Saturday night responded to the revelation of the terror tunnels under UNRWA’s main headquarters in Gaza. The 401st battalion discovered a hi-tech Hamas server farm and data center hidden dozens of meters underneath UNRWA’s headquarters.

Lazzarini claimed, “UNRWA did not know what is under its headquarters in Gaza. UNRWA staff left its headquarters in Gaza City on 12 October following the Israeli evacuation orders and as bombardment intensified in the area. We have not used that compound since we left it nor are we aware of any activity that may have taken place there.

Dear Mr. Lazzarini:

It takes an awfully long time to build terror tunnel headquarters and it was impossible that it was built between the time UNRWA vacated the space on October 12 and now. Construction of this sort is also kinda noisy and rattles the walls, the ceiling, etc. How naive do you have to be to not know a massive terrorist operation was underneath your feet?

COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories) quoted Lazzarini’s post and gave the best response: “You chose to ignore the facts so you can later try and deny them.”

With daily information now emerging on the truth about UNRWA, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, responded to Lazzarini’s forgetful mind, “Take responsibility and resign today! Anything the UN says or claims about Gaza cannot be trusted.”

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich addressed his weekly meeting on the operation in Rafah which freed two hostages, Fernando Marman and Louis Har. He also commented on Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to send the head of the Shin Bet (ISA) to Cairo for talks to free the remaining hostages.

After praising the daring rescue, Smotrich said that “last night’s action proves once again what we have said many times, that the way to bring the hostages home is through the victory and destruction of Hamas. The delusional demands of Hamas for the release of thousands of terrorists and murderers, for the expulsion of Jews from the Temple Mount, for the end of the war and the withdrawal of IDF forces oblige us to give them One clear and decisive answer: W-A-R!!!”

Israel must be allowed to finish the job. Anything less is caving in to world leaders and the wider population who do not understand terrorism and its ultimate goal – the destruction of Israel.

Hakol Hayehudi reporter Elchanan Groner last week presented a UN Excel sheet depicting Jewish visits to the Temple Mount as violent incidents. The description is always, “Israeli settlers and other groups, accompanied by Israeli forces, entered and toured the yards of Al Aqsa Mosque compound.”

The UN reported 5,656 incidents of “settler violence against “Palestinians” between 2016 and 2022. It turns out that many of these Arab-on-Jew attacks were recorded by the UN as… “settler violence.”

The numbers speak volumes, yet the UN just can’t help itself when it comes to Jew hatred and demonization of Israel.
