Man orphaned in the 7/10 massacre: ‘It’s all up to us; we need a fundamental change’ Yoni Kempinski
Daniel Weiss of Kibbutz Be’eri, who lost both parents in the Oct. 7th attack, tells how he finds solace in music and talks about the change he believes needs to happen in Israeli society.
Jan 28, 2024, 11:09 PM (GMT+2) – Daniel Weiss, a resident of Be’eri whose parents were murdered by Hamas terrorists, spoke to Arutz Sheva – Israel National News at the signing of the Bereshit Treaty, about how he finds the strength to continue forward, despite the terrible tragedy that befell his family.
“We all have strengths, the question is whether we want to deny them, or flow into them. For me, pain is a drive and I use it to find healing through singing. Everyone does it in a different way. Singing has always been strong for me and was a tool of expression. My mother always sang in choirs and also when we were children before going to sleep. My father also liked music. I was the only one who took it a few steps further, but our home was very musical. Music did us good and brought us together,” says Weiss.

According to Weiss, “The strongest goal is for us to be together with a very clear message, and to act in such a way that we take responsibility and do not blame anyone. Everything depends on us and if we do not act for ourselves, first of all, then no one will do it for us. Many of us feel that they were abandoned, and it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. It’s clear to us that something needs to undergo a fundamental change.”

[Ed.: This guy’s got it. We need to fundamentally change the structure of Israel’s government, fundamentally change those in charge of Israel’s Defense Forces, and fundamentally change Israel’s Judicial structure. But, there’s little hope of accomplishing that, and little time left to do so. ‘Our ass is grass’ – as the expression goes.]
Report: Soldiers not permitted to open fire at suspicious persons on Gaza border Israel National News
IDF’s rules of engagement do not make it possible to enforce new security zone that was announced at the beginning of the war.
Jan 29, 2024, 3:41 AM (GMT+2) – At the start of the war, the defense establishment announced a new security zone in the Gaza Strip, at a depth of one kilometer from the border with Israel, to prevent Palestinian Arabs from approaching the fence due to concerns they could be terrorists in disguise, as occurred before the Hamas attack on October 7.
However, as Kan 11 News published on Sunday, the IDF’s rules of engagement have changed in the last month in such a manner that they do not allow the new parameter to be enforced.
Due to this, Palestinian Arabs are approaching the area of the border fence with the Gaza Strip, while the soldiers stationed there are not allowed to shoot at them.
The IDF said in response, “The IDF is prepared along the border fence with many forces and is working in a variety of ways to protect the area. The rules of engagement are orderly, and allow the forces to remove any threat, with all the tools to protect their lives.”
[Ed.: You don’t have to be a prophet to see the outcome of this war. You also don’t have to be a political scientist, or a military strategist to observe the lack of leadership in the IDF and the IINO government. You can just take out the popcorn, tune in, and witness Israel orchestrate its own demise. You know how some people just can’t step on the line in the sidewalk? IINO just will no decimate the enemy and win the war. IINO will not listen to, or follow the clear instructions of The God of Abraham. Every time we fail to follow His instructions, we suffer the consequences. What is coming next is the inevitable result. and it will be coming swiftly (prophetically speaking) …]

King Saul’s Failure and Bibi’s Decision: The Future of Gaza ELIE MISCHEL
JANUARY 25, 2024 – Last fall, soon after Bibi Netanyahu was elected to his fifth term as prime minister, journalist Bari Weiss asked him to name his favorite biblical character. Netanyahu replied with a fascinating answer: “King Saul. He was tragic.” Left-wingers who have spent decades trying unsuccessfully to defeat Bibi laughed at his response, predicting he would end up just like King Saul, who tragically died in battle. But the truth is that Bibi’s kinship with King Saul runs far deeper than they realize.
Only a few weeks after the horror of October 7, as the IDF prepared to launch its ground invasion of Gaza, the Prime Minister invoked God’s command in Deuteronomy 25:17 to wipe out Amalek: “You must remember what Amalek has done to you.” Bibi appropriately compared today’s murderous Hamas terrorists, who revel in the torture and murder of Jews, to the ancient tribe that heartlessly attacked the women, children and elderly of Israel in the wilderness.
But as Saul would later learn, fulfilling God’s commandment to wipe out Amalek is easier said than done. Saul’s failure to fulfill God’s will led to his downfall as king and his replacement by King David, his “fellow who was better than him” (I Samuel 15:28). Today, the most pressing question for the Prime Minister is whether he truly understands the tragedy of Saul and the lesson of Saul’s failure – for his own future depends on it.
The Sin of Saul
When God commanded Saul to destroy Amalek, He left no room for doubt; Amalek must be utterly destroyed. “You shall not have pity on him: and you shall slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass” (I Samuel 15:3). Saul dutifully gathered the people of Israel for war, and destroyed the Amalekites. But as he neared the completion of his mission, he stumbled: “And Saul and the people had pity on [King] Agag, and on the best of the sheep and the cattle, and the fatlings, and on the fattened sheep… and they did not want to destroy them” (I Samuel 15:9).
Saul’s failure to kill Agag and all of Amalek’s cattle was his undoing. God regretted anointing Saul as king of Israel and dispatched the prophet Samuel to inform Saul of his fate. “Since you rejected the word of the Lord, He has rejected you from being a king” (I Samuel 15:23).
