Dramatic rise in missionary activity in Jerusalem’s haredi neighborhoods Israel National News
‘Missionaries taking advantage of fear and uncertainty created by Gaza war,’ Yad L’Achim warns.
Dec 18, 2023, 2:36 PM (GMT+2) – Yad L’Achim has reported a startling increase in the number of missionaries operating in Jerusalem, particularly in haredi neighborhoods in the center of the city.
Offensive flyers have been distributed in mailboxes in Geula, Mea She’arim, Zichron Moshe, Sarei Yisrael, Beis Yisrael, and surrounding areas.
In response, Yad L’Achim has dispatched activists to collect the dangerous material, post warning notices, and drive cars with loudspeakers alerting residents of the threat.
Officials say that Jerusalem continues to be a main draw for missionaries who arrive Israel with the specific goal of preaching to its Jewish residents. The past year has seen missionaries using public transportation and preaching to the passengers seated next to them.

“Overall, missionaries have been taking advantage of the fear and uncertainty created by the Gaza war to hunt Jewish souls,” Yad L’Achim warned.
Just last week, Yad L’Achim revealed that the missionaries are targeting soldiers and Jews who have been forced to leave their homes in the south and north. International missionary organizations surreptitiously preach to Jews as part of a “humanitarian aid” campaign.
“Yad L’Achim calls on the pubic to remain vigilant, and asks anyone who comes into contact with missionaries or who is interested in receiving information about them to call the organization’s emergency hotline at *9234, 24 hours a day,” the organization said.

Ben Gvir on Gaza aid: Changing policy without Cabinet discussion is unacceptable Hezki Baruch
Minister Itamar Ben Gvir blasts decision to approve the entry of trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
Dec 18, 2023, 12:07 AM (GMT+2) – Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, during the Cabinet meeting on Sunday, attacked the decision to approve the entry of trucks carrying humanitarian aid into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, and also stated that he opposed it.
He questioned the Prime Minister as to why it was urgent for him to hold the vote on Friday afternoon, right before the start of Shabbat, and in an expedited manner.
“I don’t understand how is it that, on Friday afternoon, they send messages about the vote, apparently someone was hoping that one of the members of the cabinet was taking an afternoon nap,” said Ben Gvir. Minister Ofir Akunis replied: “Were you napping?” To which Ben Gvir said, “I’ve been sleeping three hours a night since the beginning of the war.”
Ben Gvir continued his criticism of the decision, saying, “It is not acceptable to suddenly change policy without holding a discussion in the Cabinet. We have a large increase in the number of deaths, we have a large increase in the number of injured, and in my opinion, this is completely consistent with the amounts of fuel and humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip. How can there be such irresponsibility? Deciding on the opening of the Kerem Shalom crossing without there being an in-depth discussion in the Cabinet beforehand. My position was clear and known, I opposed it from the very beginning. I think that we should not bring them humanitarian aid, until we receive aid for our hostages. But in any case, why prevent a discussion on this in the Cabinet?”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu replied, “The Americans helped us bring 80 hostages instead of 50 hostages in the deal. And in return, we are bringing in 200 trucks a day. It is impossible to bring them all through the Rafah crossing, so in order to be able to fulfill our end of the bargain, we need to open the Kerem Shalom crossing.”

Earlier on Sunday, Ben Gvir wrote a letter to the head of the National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, in which he requested that the Political-Security Cabinet convene to discuss the decision.
“In the last few days, fundamental decisions were made, which constitute a policy change of the Cabinet, without any discussion and by way of a telephone referendum only or even without any vote. Thus, on Friday afternoon it was decided in a telephone referendum only to open the Kerem Shalom crossing for goods for our enemy, and today I learned that there is a claim that 180 million shekels were transferred from the north of the Gaza Strip to the south, without any vote about it,” the minister wrote.
Former UN Amb.: ‘Increase the force, be less humanitarian’ INN
MK Danny Danon calls on Israel to clarify red line to the US. ‘Trucks entering Gaza through Kerem Shalom are a mistake and wrong.’
Dec 18, 2023, 2:17 PM (GMT+2) – MK Danny Danon (Likud) slammed the government’s decision to pass additional aid to Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
In an interview with 103 FM Radio, Danon called to increase the pressure on Hamas – even at the cost of conflict with the US.
“Trucks entering Gaza through Kerem Shalom is symbolic, wrong, and a mistake,” he told the radio station.

“It is illogical that we should pass humanitarian aid, when even the agreement which we signed for visits from the Red Cross and the passage of testimonies regarding hostages who are still alive are things which we have not received to this day.
He emphasized, “We must apply more force and be less humanitarian. [Emphasis added] Only our determination will bring about the return of our captives, and a victory.”

Black Lives Don’t Matter to Hamas. South First Responders – Telegram https://t.me/southfirstresponders/476
Joshua Mollel, a 21 year old student from Tanzania, East Africa, came to Israel on an agricultural exchange program.
This week, it was confirmed that he was murdered at the hands of Hamas, and that his body is still being held in Gaza by the terrorists.
Soon we will expose previously unseen footage of his murder on October 7th.
We warn you that what you are about to see is extremely graphic.
On October 7th, Hamas terrorists filmed themselves beating and abusing Joshua in his final moments, in the vicinity of Kibbutz Nahal Oz, the site of one of the most horrific massacres of that day.
They stabbed Joshua with a kitchen knife. They stepped on his chest. And then, while shouting Allahu Akbar, sprayed bullets into his body at point blank range.
To Hamas, Black Lives Don’t Matter.
Jewish Lives Don’t Matter.
Christian, Muslim, Druze, Hindu, and Buddist Lives Don’t Matter.
Palestinian Lives Certainly Don’t Matter.
For Hamas, Life Itself Doesn’t Matter.
WATCH: How Hamas Built its ‘Gaza Metro’ Terror Tunnels [Videos] By Hana Levi Julian
6 Tevet 5784 – December 17, 2023 – The IDF released for publication on Sunday a Hamas video seized during Israeli military operations that documents the construction of the terror organization’s largest Gaza tunnel uncovered so far.
The tunnel was secured by IDF forces a few weeks ago, as part of the IDF’s defensive efforts to restore security to the area, the IDF said. “There is no evidence that the tunnel extends into Israel from the Gaza Strip.”
Over the past few weeks, IDF ground forces and combat engineering forces from the Gaza Division, including soldiers from the Yahalom Unit have been conducting an extensive operation against Hamas’ terror tunnels. The unit leverages advanced technological capabilities to expose, assess, secure and dismantle Hamas terrorist tunnels.
A Quarter Mile from Erez Crossing
The tunnel, part of the “Gaza Metro” network beneath the surface of the enclave, was discovered just 400 meters (a quarter mile) from to the Erez border crossing, in the northern area of the Gaza Strip. It stretches about four kilometers long (2.5 miles) and about 50 meters (164 feet) deep. In fact, it is so big that it can accommodate the movement of vehicles. The tunnel shaft at

Shockingly Good: Bill Maher Throws Down – Explains Reality of the Genocidal “From the River to the Sea” Chant [(Great) Video 8:13] By Margaret Flavin
Dec. 16, 2023 2:00 pm – Bill Maher has had strong words in the aftermath of the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7 in Israel that are becoming more and more out of step with the radical leftists in the Democrat party.
In a recent episode, he took a swipe at former President Obama for comments he made this week about the Israel-Hamas war and shared his disappointment in the former President’s “moral equivalency.”
He has slammed liberals for defending Hamas and the rise of anti-semitism among young people.
He lambasted elite colleges for their “indoctrination into a stew of bad ideas” and the suppression of free speech.
In November, he even took the bold move, at least within his own party, of defending Western civilization.
On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher shared his new rule on the genocidal “From the River to the Sea” chant favored by leftists.
Even more surprising than Maher’s take is the audience’s enthusiastic applause and approval at his remarks.
