The Transportation Ministry has denied claims that it will operate fighter jets to repatriate Israelis who were stuck outside of Israel due to the airport closure.
Currently, the only option to reach Israel by air is to go to Iran and board a missile to Israel 😉
Betrayed on the Battlefield: IDF Soldiers Left Wanting While Defense Giants Feast on Taxpayer Billions By Mordechai Sones
Every donation, every barbecue fundraiser, normalizes a system where soldiers are sent to war ill-equipped, while defense giants thrive. Those who accept this status quo, who cheer the troops while ignoring the profiteering, are complicit in a cycle that sacrifices lives for corporate gain
June 15, 2025 Jewish Home
In Israel, where reverence for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as the shield against existential threats is inculcated from birth, a bitter truth festers beneath the surface: rank-and-file soldiers, sent to fight, be maimed, and die for murky objectives, are scraping by with inadequate supplies, while the nation’s defense industries—Rafael, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), and Elbit Systems—reap record profits from taxpayer money. This is not just a logistical failure; it is a moral betrayal, enabled by a public that, in its desperation to support the troops, unwittingly props up a broken system.

The Harsh Truth of Empty Supplies
A Tangle of Trust and Treachery
A Soldier’s Desperate Plea
Consider the plea of an IDF soldier, drafted abruptly to the northern front, his voice raw with urgency: “My name is [redacted], and on Friday, erev Shabbat, we were suddenly drafted after getting out of our last miluim [reserve duty] only two months ago! We are lacking basic logistical and cleaning materials because the battalion was surprised and nothing was ready! Basic things from toilet paper, shampoo, toothbrushes, brooms, sponges, rags, and all kinds of other things are lacking, and we need your help!” He goes further, hoping to lift his unit’s battered spirits with a barbecue, a small gesture to counter the despair of an unprepared deployment.
This fundraiser, one of many flooding social media since October 7, 2023, has raised over $1 billion for soldiers’ basic needs, from tactical boots to thermal clothing.
The Harsh Truth of Empty Supplies
When skeptics questioned the fundraiser’s legitimacy—how could a battalion lack toilet paper, with logistics officers supposedly ensuring readiness?—the soldier’s response was chilling: “It’s nice to believe that, but we actually are using our emergency toilet paper from the last line we were on, and it won’t last more than a few days. I’ve been told it will take up to a week for them to get everything under control. Even what they give us isn’t enough. Last time they gave us 12 shampoos for 36 dish soaps for our entire battalion. It’s a joke. Only through my campaigns have I equipped my entire battalion. The only thing that my battalion gets from the battalion now is our guns and ammo. The rest of our equipment is from donations. Otherwise, we would be wearing outdated, unsafe equipment.” His words echo a grim reality: the IDF, despite Israel’s colossal defense budget, is failing its soldiers at the most basic level.
Abandoned in Faith and Gear
This is not an isolated incident. Soldiers have shared videos decrying military-issued knee pads, “great 10 years ago,” now worn out and useless, passed through countless hands.
Religious soldiers face additional indignities: Despite propaganda boasting abundant and generous IDF Rabbinate support for its soldiers, shortages of kosher food, prayer books, tefillin, and other ritual items force them to rely on civilian donations. Photos circulating online show soldiers receiving donated tzitzit and siddurim from organizations like Boots for Israel, which has distributed thousands of such items alongside 46,000 pairs of tactical boots. One image captures a soldier holding a donated tefillin set, his face a mix of gratitude and exhaustion, a stark reminder that even spiritual sustenance is crowdsourced.
These shortages are not just logistical oversights; they are a betrayal of soldiers who risk their lives under the banner of a nation that prides itself on unity.
Profits Over Patriotism
Meanwhile, Israel’s defense giants are swimming in profits. In 2024, Rafael’s sales hit $4.8 billion, with profits soaring 64% to $257 million. IAI’s revenues reached $6.11 billion, its net income up 55% to $493 million. Elbit Systems, a publicly traded behemoth, posted $6.83 billion in sales, with a 22% revenue spike in Q1 2025, over a third from Israeli contracts.
These figures, fueled by taxpayer-funded contracts, could equip every IDF soldier with state-of-the-art gear, rebuild hospitals, or fund education for a generation. Instead, they pad corporate coffers, with Elbit paying dividends to shareholders—some abroad—while soldiers beg for toilet paper.
A Tangle of Trust and Treachery
The hypocrisy is staggering. These firms, born from Israel’s need for self-reliance, now exploit wartime crises. Rafael and IAI, state-owned, are meant to return profits to the public, yet Rafael’s $680 million in dividends since 2002 and IAI’s $430 million from 2017–2023 are mere crumbs compared to their earnings. Elbit, privatized and listed on NASDAQ, funnels profits to investors, with a single shareholder holding 10,000 shares pocketing $6,000 in Q1 2025 dividends—money traced back to Israeli taxes. Worse, allegations swirl that these companies, with government approval, sold arms to Qatar, a Hamas backer, raising questions about whose security they truly serve.
Enabling the Injustice
This scandal is enabled by a public that, out of love for its soldiers, fundraises to fill the gaps. Organizations like Unit 11741, delivering 11,000 tactical helmets, and Boots for Israel, providing boots and religious supplies, are lifelines—but they are also bandages on a gaping wound.
Every donation, every barbecue fundraiser, normalizes a system where soldiers are sent to war ill-equipped, while defense giants thrive. Those who accept this status quo, who cheer the troops while ignoring the profiteering, are complicit in a cycle that sacrifices lives for corporate gain.
A Call to Reclaim Trust
Israel’s defense industry must be held accountable.
The State Comptroller’s 2023 report on Rafael’s governance failures—understaffed boards, lax audits—demands action, not lip service. A defense procurement ombudsman is needed to give taxpayers a voice. Laws must define “excessive” wartime profits and mandate transparent budgets.
Without these reforms, the nation risks losing more than soldiers’ lives—it risks losing its soul. For a people who live in constant crisis, trusting their defenders should not be a luxury. It should be a guarantee.

UPDATE June 14, 2025 @ 3:30 pm ET Jewish Breaking News
The IDF Home Front Command has completed an initial assessment of Iran’s overnight and morning missile barrage, concluding that civilians who followed safety guidelines and sheltered properly were mostly unharmed.
Iran launched around 200 ballistic missiles in four major waves. According to the IDF, 50 were deliberately not intercepted because they were projected to land in open areas, while a small number breached defenses and hit populated zones.
Missile strikes in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Rishon Lezion resulted in three civilian deaths and about 80 injuries. Additionally, seven IDF soldiers were lightly wounded by a missile in central Israel.
In one Tel Aviv high-rise, a missile struck the ninth floor, destroying several apartments. However, residents inside reinforced bomb rooms survived with little to no injuries. In Ramat Gan, a missile hit an older home lacking a bomb-safe room, but residents who took shelter in the basement were unharmed.
The Home Front Command is urging the public to seek the most secure shelter available during missile threats. Iranian ballistic missiles carry warheads weighing hundreds of kilograms, posing a far greater risk than drones, which are mostly intercepted before reaching Israeli airspace.
In response to the ongoing threat, the Home Front Command has mobilized its entire reserve force, deploying tens of thousands of troops nationwide to support civilian protection efforts.

Trump Helped Netanyahu Pull Off a Great Deception in Iran Attack: Report By Randy DeSoto
June 13, 2025 The Western Journal – President Donald Trump reportedly helped lull Iran into a false sense of security through the actions he took in the days leading up Israel’s surprise attack against the Islamic regime.
The Israeli strikes early Friday morning targeted key uranium enrichment sites, as well as top leaders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
Axios reported that Israeli officials told reporters during a briefing hours after the operation began that it was coordinated with Washington.
“Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public — and didn’t express opposition in private. ‘We had a clear U.S. green light,’ one claimed,” according to the news outlet.
“The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel’s target list wouldn’t move to new locations,” Axios added.
“Netanyahu’s aides even briefed Israeli reporters that Trump had tried to put the brakes on an Israeli strike in a call on Monday, when in reality the call dealt with coordination ahead of the attack, Israeli officials now say.”
Lending credence to the reporting are posts Trump made on social media Friday morning.
Trump wrote, “Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to ‘make a deal.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!”
In an earlier post, he stated, “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it,’ but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done.
“I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come — And they know how to use it,” Trump added.
The U.S. called for Iran to cease enriching uranium, which its leadership refused to do.
Fox News host Bret Baier reported that he spoke with Trump Thursday night during the attacks, and that the president told him he had been in touch with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu several times in recent days.
“The president was aware of Israel’s action before it happened,” Baier said. Further, the U.S. would help defend Israel, if needed, against any Iranian retaliation.
A reporter asked Trump at the White House earlier Thursday whether a strike by Israel against Iran was imminent.
“I don’t want to say imminent, but it looks like it’s something that could very well happen,” he coyly responded.
Trump noted he stopped a full-on war between India and Pakistan from breaking out last month, which he thought likely would have resulted in nuclear weapons being exchanged.
The implication seemed to be that there was still hope that the Israeli strike against Iran might be averted.
However, hours later, Netanyahu announced, “Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival.”
He added, “This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.”
