Israeli security sources have raised alarm over a dangerous trend under Syria’s new leader, Ahmed Al-Sharaa. According to statements made to the Broadcasting Authority, “We are observing a concerning trend led by the new Syrian leader, Ahmed Al-Sharaa. Under his leadership, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad activists and terrorists who were imprisoned during the Assad era have been released, with some of them resuming terrorist activities against Israel.”
Officials describe Sharaa as a hardliner actively working to destabilize the region. “Sharaa is a hardliner working to undermine Israel’s security—he is an enemy, not a partner for dialogue,” the sources stated.
This development is seen as a serious escalation that could reignite terrorist activity from Judea and Samaria to the northern front, potentially creating a broader threat environment for Israel.
Turkey is advancing efforts to take control of Syria’s Tiyas (T4) air base and is preparing to install air defense systems, along with deploying surveillance and armed drones capable of extended-range strikes.
According to sources, “Ankara also plans to deploy surveillance and armed drones, including those with extended strike capabilities [to the T4 airbase]. The presence of Turkish air defence systems and drones would likely deter Israel from launching air strikes in the area.”
Israeli officials are increasingly concerned about this development. An Israeli security source stated, “If a Turkish air base is established in Syria, it would undermine Israel’s freedom of operation. This is a potential threat that we oppose.”
The concern, as reported by The Jerusalem Post, is that Syrian leader al-Sharaa may be collaborating to restrict Israel’s military freedom, especially amid broader regional tensions.
While the region remains tense, a new development is unfolding quietly behind the scenes. The new Syrian government is reportedly working to establish backchannel communications with Israel. According to i24 News, citing a Syrian source familiar with the matter, these efforts are aimed at laying the foundation for potential normalization between Syria and Israel
Saudi Arabia is said to be supporting this initiative, marking a potentially significant shift in regional diplomacy.
According to Channel 14, a large-scale attack on Iran is expected to be the most significant military operation since World War II.
In a covert diplomatic move, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait have reportedly informed Tehran that they will not allow the United States to use their airbases to launch strikes against Iran. This includes barring support operations like U.S. aerial refueling and reconnaissance missions, as reported by a Saudi source to i24 News.
The source added that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait directly communicated this message to Iran, signaling a clear refusal to be complicit in any U.S.-led military action—even indirectly.

Jonathan Pollard: Trump Action Against Israel Left? [29:27]
April 1, 2025 Machon Shilo – Discussion between the head of Machon Shilo Rabbi David Bar-Hayim & Jewish hero Jonathan Pollard
The War on Benjamin Netanyahu JOSHUA HOFFMAN
Is the State of Israel using lawfare to take down its own prime minister?
APR 01, 2025 Future of Jewish – The arrests on Monday of Jonatan Urich and Eli Feldstein — two of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s closest aides — has once again thrust Israel’s most enduring political figure into the center of controversy.
The so-called “Qatargate” scandal, alleging unlawful financial ties between senior Israeli officials and Qatar, gained new urgency Monday as Netanyahu himself was summoned for testimony. His motorcade arrived at his office early in the evening following a truncated court appearance in his ongoing corruption trial.
The timing of these developments, just as Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara ordered the police to summon the prime minister, is raising old questions in new ways: Is this merely the due process of law, or a weaponization of legal tools against a sitting prime minister?
To understand the moment, one must look deeper into the many sides of Benjamin Netanyahu — the politician, the symbol, and the target.
For years, Benjamin Netanyahu has faced a barrage of legal battles. His ongoing trial on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust began well before the proposed judicial overhaul legislation that ignited mass protests in 2023, pre-October 7th.
The timing is critical. These charges were not brought in reaction to any supposed power grab; they predate it. This raises a provocative possibility that has gained traction among many Israelis across the political spectrum: that Netanyahu has been subjected to lawfare, the use of legal mechanisms as political weapons.
In this view, the charges against Netanyahu are not purely about justice or accountability. Rather, they are attempts to achieve by courtroom what cannot be achieved at the ballot box. Netanyahu, despite scandals, has shown a remarkable ability to retain public support and win elections — an ability that frustrates both his rivals and segments of the Israeli Left-wing elite.
Among the Israeli public, two main theories attempt to explain the apparent legal obsession with Netanyahu.
The first points to the composition of Israel’s law enforcement agencies, particularly the police. Long dominated by Mizrahi Jews — descendants of Jewish communities from the Middle East and North Africa — Israel’s police have never seen one of their own rise to the position of prime minister.
In fact, all of Israel’s prime ministers to date have been Ashkenazi, like Netanyahu. Some argue that resentment toward the Ashkenazi establishment and its historical marginalization of Mizrahi Jews has morphed into an aggressive stance toward the most prominent Ashkenazi political figure of the era. Under this theory, law enforcement isn’t acting independently or ideologically; it’s expressing generational frustration in the only way available to it: through investigation and prosecution.
The second theory is more conventional in its alignment with political power. It sees Netanyahu as the enduring enemy of Israel’s Far-Left establishment — what some have dubbed the Israeli “Deep State.” This elite includes influential media figures, senior bureaucrats, and elements within the judiciary, all of whom see Netanyahu’s populism, nationalism, and alignment with the religious Right as dangerous.
Since they cannot remove him through democratic means, this theory holds, they seek to do so through legal attrition. Every new investigation, arrest, and headline is not an accident of justice; it is a strategy.
To assume Netanyahu’s legal entanglements are uniquely unprecedented would be to overlook Israel’s long and complex dance between law, politics, and power.
In the 1970s, then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin resigned after it was discovered that his wife maintained a foreign bank account, in violation of Israeli law. Rabin was never charged, and many saw the enforcement of the rule as disproportionately harsh — a moment when legality trumped political common sense. His departure cleared the path for a new generation of leadership, including Menachem Begin and the Likud1 revolution.
More dramatically, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was indicted and later convicted on corruption charges in the late 2000s, ultimately serving jail time. But even that process, while legally sound, raised eyebrows for its timing. Olmert had lost political ground and was viewed by some as no longer useful to the elite institutions that had once supported him.
Perhaps the most relevant case is that of Ariel Sharon. In the early 2000s, Sharon and his sons were under investigation for serious financial misconduct. Yet the probes seemed to vanish from public scrutiny the moment Sharon announced his Gaza Disengagement Plan — winning him newfound favor among political and judicial elites who had once eyed him suspiciously. The message was clear to some: The law is flexible when politics demand it.
Netanyahu’s supporters point to these episodes as evidence that Israel’s legal system, though independent on paper, has always operated within a complex web of political pressures, ideological preferences, and historical context. In their view, Netanyahu is simply the latest (and perhaps most dangerous) threat to the balance of power long held by an entrenched establishment.
Adding fuel to the fire is Netanyahu’s recent announcement of a new Shin Bet2 chief — effectively ending the tenure of Ronen Bar, a key figure in Israel’s security establishment.
Bar’s leadership came under scrutiny in the aftermath of October 7th, where intelligence and preparedness failures opened the door to the Hamas attacks that shocked the country. But despite this, Bar remained central to ongoing hostage negotiations and, notably, was reportedly overseeing the Shin Bet’s role in the “Qatargate” investigation.
Bar and Netanyahu have long been at odds over both security priorities and political tone. Bar’s cautious, professional demeanor often contrasted with Netanyahu’s political instincts and survival strategies.
Their rift deepened post-October 7th, as differing visions emerged over how to handle hostages in Gaza, the role of Qatar in negotiations, and the broader regional implications. Now, with Bar’s ousting and replacement publicly announced just two days ago, some observers are drawing a direct line between the leadership shakeup and the expanding “Qatargate” probe.
The optics are impossible to ignore: Two men in Netanyahu’s inner circle are arrested, the premier himself is summoned, and the man at the helm of the agency leading the investigation is shown the door. Whether this is coincidence, strategic timing, or something more coordinated, it feeds into both prevailing narratives about Netanyahu’s embattled leadership — and the extraordinary lengths to which his adversaries or allies may be willing to go.
Netanyahu is not an easy figure to classify. He is loved and loathed, strategic and self-serving, brilliant and, at times, blatantly divisive. He has governed Israel longer than any other prime minister in history, surviving political coups, international criticism, and a revolving door of rivals. His ability to shift between American conservatism, European liberalism, Israeli pragmatism, and nationalist rhetoric has kept him relevant — and formidable.
But even Netanyahu’s fiercest critics must acknowledge the odd synchronicity of events. The “Qatargate” arrests come just as he was preparing to be questioned himself. The police moved not against unknown bureaucrats, but against his inner circle — his message team, his confidants. This is not just about corruption; it is also about narrative.
And in the age of spin and soundbite, narrative is everything.
What the Netanyahu saga ultimately reveals is something broader: a system struggling to define itself. Is Israel a state of laws, or a state where laws are tools of political struggle? Is the judiciary a neutral guardian, or an active participant in ideological battles? Is justice blind, or does it squint when faced with power?
Benjamin Netanyahu may one day be remembered not just as a prime minister or a defendant, but as the central character in Israel’s confrontation with these questions. Whether he is a hero unfairly targeted or a leader who deserves scrutiny — or both — his story is inseparable from the broader story of Israel’s democracy.
And that story, for now, remains unfinished.

IRAN HIJACKS, SHIN BET CONFUSION, QATAR-GATE GROWS
March 31, 2025 Israel Realtime
IRAN – The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have hijacked three oil tankers in the Arabian Gulf.
.. Report that the tankers have European/American ownership.
.. American source: The seizure of Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf presents President Trump with only one option: to attack Iran.
SHIN BET CONFUSION – NOMINATION WITHDRAWN – the nomination of Navy general Sharvit has been withdrawn after it was demonstrated he participated in anti-government demonstrations, following demands of withdrawal by the Likud and, oddly, by US senator Linsey Graham after negative statements about Trump by Sharvit came out.
.. The High Court hearing on the petitions against the dismissal of the Shin Bet chief will be broadcast live.
FIRE BALLOON TERROR – JUDEA/SAMARIA – Balloon terrorism has spread to Judea and Samaria: Residents of the town of Kedumim say (and show in videos) that terrorists launched incendiary balloons toward the town this evening.
TERROR – THWARTED – A terrorist cell from Nablus (of 6) that operated under the direction and funding of the Hamas headquarters in Turkey to carry out shooting and explosive attacks was foiled. As part of the investigation, a weapon and over $60,000 dollars in cash were seized. Captured, indicted.
DID YOU KNOW TERRORISTS COULD GET NATIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS? (Such as if they were disabled in their attack?) Knesset approves: Convicted terrorists will no longer receive social benefits from the State.
QATAR GATE – on the investigation that members of the Prime Minister’s office (operational staff) received payments from Qatar. Two suspects in the Qatargate affair were arrested today. A journalist is also being questioned by the police on suspicion of receiving favors from Qatar, “contact with a foreign agent”. And a businessman whose name was mentioned in the case.
.. The Attorney General asks the police to summon Prime Minister Netanyahu to testify in the Qatargate affair. Netanyahu testified at his office in Jerusalem, not under warning (meaning as a witness, not a suspect).
.. Likud says: For weeks, the Attorney General’s Office and the Shin Bet chief have been conducting futile investigations in the dark under a gag order, in an attempt to prevent the dismissal of the Shin Bet chief, using (the 2 suspects) and others as cannon fodder. Their goal is to carry out a coup d’état through arrest warrants.
♦️GAZA – Enemy report: Dozens of tanks are making their way towards the southern Gaza Strip, through the Rafah gates.
.. Fighters from the Yahalam unit destroyed a one-kilometer-long underground tunnel belonging to Hamas in Gaza. In another operation, the fighters located a workshop for the production of rockets and launchers and destroyed it.
LEBANON – The investigation of the missile launches into Israel and of the 4 captured continues. It is believed that Palestinian elements are behind the launches, but the investigation has not yet been completed.
EGYPT – Israel has recently identified a strengthening of the Egyptian army in Sinai, a security source told reporters. “Egypt has deployed more military forces than allowed, is expanding port docks, and is extending runways at airports.” The source added that all of these violations are in violation of the peace agreement.
Israel is in dialogue with Cairo and Washington on the issue. The source emphasized that “the administration in Washington is responsible for implementing the peace agreement and must ensure that the agreement is implemented as it is written.”
US vs. the HOUTHIS – Trump says: “Stop shooting at US ships, and we will stop shooting at you. Otherwise, we have only just begun, the real pain is yet to come for both theHouthis and their sponsors Iran.”
WORLD NEWS OF NOTE.. A French court convicted the leading presidential candidate, right-wing leader Marine Le Pen of embezzlement and banned her from running in the next soon to be held elections.

Do Not Be Fooled by the ‘Anti-Hamas’ Protests by Bassam Tawil
March 31, 2025 at 5:00 am
- Those who are rushing to celebrate the protests in Gaza need to consider that they are most likely nothing but a show by the Iran-backed Hamas to fool the world into thinking that there is an uprising against the terrorist group.
- After all, this is the same Hamas that kept signaling to everyone, years before its terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, that it was not interested in another round of fighting. Then it murdered and brutally tortured 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped 251.
- What would Norway or Denmark do if ISIS or Al-Qaeda were on its border, seeking to destroy it?
- According to some reports, Hamas members have been spotted leading some of Gaza’s demonstrations.
- Last year, Israel tried to encourage anti-Hamas clans to play a role in managing the Gaza Strip — without success. Regrettably, several clans have, over the past year, issued statements expressing support for Hamas as the “sole representative of the Gaza Strip.”
- The current protests are taking place for one reason only: Hamas is conspicuously losing the war… The protesters are just angry that Israel retaliated so hard.
- All Hamas would have to do for Israel to stop is to free the 59 remaining hostages, only 24 of whom possibly remain alive – but all of whom are victims of a kidnapping that should not have happened in the first place.
- Sadly, there is no alternative to the complete removal of Hamas…. [T]here is no difference between Hamas’s political wing and its military wing. Hamas’s political wing, in fact, requires the military wing, to be able to stay in power.
- If the West falls for Hamas’s latest ploy, the terror group will simply soon be able to take control of the Gaza Strip with a rebranded name. Hamas’s primary goal, after all, is to remain in power.
- It is time to stop projecting Western values and aspirations onto Islamist societies. The protests in the Gaza Strip are not a shift toward peace. Instead, they are a symptom of the Palestinians’ failure, once again, to achieve their goal of murdering Jews and eliminating Israel.
- Make no mistake: Once the Palestinians recover from the war, they will continue their jihad against Israel. Many of the “anti-Hamas” protesters will then reappear, this time complete with masks, weapons and military gear.
The recent anti-Hamas protests in the Gaza Strip are seen by some Western and Arab political analysts as a positive and encouraging development.
Those who are rushing to celebrate the protests in Gaza need to consider that they are most likely nothing but a show by the Iran-backed Hamas to fool the world into thinking that there is an uprising against the terrorist group.
After all, this is the same Hamas that kept signaling to everyone, years before its terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, that it was not interested in another round of fighting. Then it murdered and brutally tortured 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped 251.
One of Hamas’s tactics has been to try to protect its terrorists by hiding them among civilians. According to some reports, Hamas members have been spotted leading some of Gaza’s demonstrations.
Hamas, in addition, is undoubtedly seeking to undermine the legitimacy of Israel’s war against terrorism by sending “innocent” civilians to the streets to protest the humanitarian and economic crisis in the Gaza Strip. Hamas is probably hoping that the world will see the poor “anti-Hamas” civilians peacefully protesting, then exert pressure on Israel to halt its fight against the terrorists.
What would Norway or Denmark do if ISIS or Al-Qaeda were on its border, seeking to destroy it?
Notably, most of the protesters appear to be fighting-aged men, thereby reinforcing the belief that they are terrorists who took off their military uniforms and suddenly became “civilians.”
Even if some of the protesters are not members of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, it is vital not to be fooled by what appears to be a sudden change of heart.
The protesters, like many of the residents of the Gaza Strip, are, in all probability, just trying to avoid more death and destruction now that they see Israel, fully backed by the Trump administration, resuming its counter-terrorism operations.
The fighting in the Gaza Strip picked up again on March 18, after Hamas breached the US-brokered ceasefire-hostages deal reached earlier in the year.
This is certainly not a change of heart: there has yet to be a single Palestinian criticism of Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israelis. The protesters are not saying they are bothered by Hamas terrorists (and thousands of “ordinary” Palestinians) brutally murdering, raping, beheading, and burning alive hundreds of Israelis that day.
Please recall, thousands of Palestinians took to the streets on October 7, 2023, to cheer as Israeli hostages were dragged back into the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians not only chanted slogans in support of Hamas and the Palestinian “resistance,” many were filmed beating and spitting on the abducted Israeli men, women and children.
It is highly likely that many of the “anti-Hamas” protesters now are the same people who celebrated the October 7 carnage.
It would also be entirely wrong to assume that those who are demonstrating against Hamas are in favor of peace and coexistence with Israel. We did not hear or see one “anti-Hamas” protester hold a banner calling for peace or recognizing Israel’s right to exist.
If the protesters would really want to end the war, they would be urging Hamas to release the 59 Israelis hostages still held captive in the Gaza Strip. If the protesters were really eager to see an end to the war, someone would have tipped off Israel as to the whereabouts of the hostages. It is crucial to remember that in November 2024, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered a $5 million reward for the release of each hostage. Not one person in the Gaza Strip has come forward to this day.
At the “anti-Hamas” protests, we have not heard a single person call for an end to the genocidal jihadist fantasies of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups. If elections were held in Gaza tomorrow, most of the protesters would, without doubt, vote for any Islamist terror group that seeks the destruction of Israel through slaughter, terrorism and jihad (holy war).
The talk about local clans possibly revolting against Hamas is an old fantasy that unfortunately never materialized. In the past, a small number of clans did openly challenge Hamas’s rule, but they were quickly suppressed and discredited by other, pro-Hamas, clans. Last year, Israel tried to encourage anti-Hamas clans to play a role in managing the Gaza Strip — without success. Regrettably, several clans have, over the past year, issued statements expressing support for Hamas as the “sole representative of the Gaza Strip.”
The current protests are taking place for one reason only: Hamas is conspicuously losing the war. Israel’s military force is working. The protesters are just angry that Israel retaliated so hard.
All Hamas would have to do for Israel to stop is to free the 59 remaining hostages, only 24 of whom possibly remain alive – but all of whom are victims of a kidnapping that should not have happened in the first place.
These Palestinian demonstrations are not going to bring down Hamas.
The demonstrators know full well that Hamas does not tolerate any form of criticism. Earlier this week, Hamas terrorists reportedly kidnapped, tortured and executed Odai al-Rabei, a 22-year-old Gazan who participated in an anti-Hamas protest. The murder presumably aims to send a warning to anyone who dares to speak out against the terror group. It also could be part of Hamas’s effort to distract attention from its involvement in the protests, which lasted only three days.
At present, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is the only army capable of destroying Hamas’s political and military infrastructure. So far, Israel seems to be doing an excellent job, especially, since October 7, with the destruction of most of Hamas’s military capabilities, and the elimination of several senior Hamas officials over the past two weeks.
Sadly, there is no alternative to the complete removal of Hamas. As noted earlier on these pages, there is no difference between Hamas’s political wing and its military wing. Hamas’s political wing, in fact, requires the military wing, to be able to stay in power.
If the West falls for Hamas’s latest ploy, the terror group will simply soon be able to take control of the Gaza Strip with a rebranded name. Hamas’s primary goal, after all, is to remain in power.
It is time to stop projecting Western values and aspirations onto Islamist societies. The protests in the Gaza Strip are not a shift toward peace. Instead, they are a symptom of the Palestinians’ failure, once again, to achieve their goal of murdering Jews and eliminating Israel.
Make no mistake: Once the Palestinians recover from the war, they will continue their jihad against Israel. Many of the “anti-Hamas” protesters will then reappear, this time complete with masks, weapons and military gear.

Palestinian ‘activism’ is actually domestic terrorism. JOSHUA HOFFMAN
These groups, such as “Palestine Action,” utilize the same ugly tactics and ideologies that have defined every major Palestinian terror organization for the past many decades.
MAR 30, 2025
This is not protest. This is premeditated violence. This is vigilantism dressed up as virtue.
And Palestine Action is proud of it.
According to their own website:
“Palestine Action is a direct action movement committed to ending global participation in Israel’s genocidal and apartheid regime. Using disruptive tactics, Palestine Action targets corporate enablers of the Israeli military-industrial complex and seeks to make it impossible for these companies to profit from the oppression of Palestinians.”
This is not a fringe Facebook comment. This is their core strategy: Bypass law, ignore democratic process, refuse dialogue, and replace politics with sabotage. Their view of the world is cartoonishly black-and-white: Israel is evil, anyone connected to Israel is evil, and anything done in the name of fighting Israel — no matter how extreme or destructive — is justified.
And let’s be clear, their obsession with Israel is not about peace. It’s not about justice. It’s about hatred. These are people who don’t want Israel to defend itself — because they don’t believe Israel should exist.
The irony is striking: Palestine Action claims to oppose oppression, yet their tactics involve anonymous mob rule, vandalism, harassment, and open incitement to chaos. They scream about “genocide,” yet they promote a culture of aggression so unhinged that they coach followers on how to break into buildings, destroy infrastructure, hide their faces, avoid police, and dump evidence.
If a Right-wing group published a manual encouraging followers to destroy mosques or attack Black-owned businesses with sledgehammers and cement, it would be declared a hate group overnight — and rightly so.
But when the target is Israel? Suddenly, violence is “direct action,” and hate becomes “solidarity.”
This hypocrisy is both dangerous and telling. It proves what many of us already know: Antisemitism is the one bigotry that still gets a pass in elite circles — so long as it’s wrapped in the flag of Palestine and framed as “anti-Zionism.”
Make no mistake: This is not about defending Palestinians. This is about erasing Israel. And if Jews are collateral damage along the way, so be it.
What Palestine Action calls “solidarity,” any reasonable person would call criminal conspiracy. What they label “disruption,” the law calls domestic terrorism. And what they frame as “liberation” is just raw, dangerous fanaticism.
This isn’t activism; it’s anarchism with a specific ethnic target.
Palestine Action may style itself as a slick, grassroots, social justice collective. But peel back the buzzwords — “direct action,” “resistance,” “liberation” — and you’ll find the same ugly tactics and ideologies that have defined every major Palestinian terror organization for the past many decades.
From the Palestine Liberation Organization to Hamas, these groups have wrapped themselves in the language of justice while carrying out mass murder, hijackings, suicide bombings, and rocket attacks indiscriminately aimed at civilian population centers. Their targets have never been just Israeli soldiers — but buses, schools, cafes, airports, and synagogues.
Their true mission has always been rejectionism. Not peace. Not coexistence. Not even a two-state solution. Just the elimination of Israel.
And now, here comes Palestine Action, rebranded for the TikTok era, offering the same hate in different packaging. They swap suicide belts for spray paint and sledgehammers — but the ideology is the same.
Their goal isn’t reform. It’s destruction. Their playbook isn’t democratic engagement. It’s coordinated sabotage. They demonize not only the Jewish state, but every Jew or non-Jew who dares to do business with it.
They proudly refuse to work within democratic institutions — because, in their own words, they don’t believe “appealing to politicians” is useful. Instead, they call for shutting down companies, smashing property, evading the police, and escaping justice.
This is not new. It is the same warped mentality that led the Palestine Liberation Organization to murder Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. The same rage that drives Hamas to fire rockets at children’s playgrounds from hospital rooftops. The same nihilistic obsession with Israel’s destruction that fuels generations of antisemitic hate.
Palestine Action may be operating in the UK instead of Gaza, but they are ideologically indistinguishable from the terror networks they mimic and admire. They are not activists. They are saboteurs with a PR team.
What makes this even more disturbing is how eagerly the Western Left has aligned itself with these radical, pro-terrorist movements. “Progressives” who would never tolerate violence, bigotry, or religious hatred from the right turn a blind eye — or worse, offer full-throated support — when the perpetrators wrap themselves in a Palestinian flag.
They excuse the inexcusable, justifying terror as “resistance,” vandalism as “direct action,” and open antisemitism as “anti-Zionism.” From campus protests to city councils, from cultural institutions to Left-wing media, we now see Palestine Action and its ilk elevated as heroes, while Jews who speak out for Israel are shouted down, harassed, or canceled.
The Western Left has long claimed to champion human rights. But when it comes to Jews and Israel, that commitment evaporates. Instead of standing with the only democracy in the Middle East, many now cheer for its destruction — alongside the same forces that would dismantle everything “progressives” supposedly stand for.
It’s not just hypocritical. It’s tragic. And dangerous.
The Left’s embrace of radical anti-Israel groups has legitimized antisemitism, normalized violence, and driven a wedge between Jewish communities and political movements they once called home.
In their desperation to appear “woke,” too many have fallen asleep to history.
And that is exactly why we must stand with Israel.
Because when Jews are hunted, harassed, and demonized in London, New York, Paris, Toronto, and Sydney — Israel remains the only country on earth founded with the explicit mission of protecting Jewish life.
So yes, every decent person must stand with Israel.
Because Palestine Action shows us exactly what the alternative looks like.
Major exposé reveals the money machine behind Israel’s 2023 protests by Gidon Dokow
Analysis of documents submitted to the Israeli Registrar of Nonprofits by Blue White Future confirms this as one of the most expensive political campaigns in Israeli history.
02-17-2025 01:55 Makor Rishon – An unprecedented sum of 120 million shekels ($33.8 million) directly funded the campaign and protest demonstrations against the judicial reform in 2023, with the entire amount channeled through a single nonprofit organization. While right-wing critics had repeatedly claimed these protests were not spontaneous but rather a planned campaign supported by substantial funding, newly revealed documents now provide concrete evidence of the scale of financial backing.
Analysis of documents submitted to the Israeli Registrar of Nonprofits by Blue White Future confirms this as one of the most expensive political campaigns in Israeli history. The invested sum of over 120 million shekels stands unmatched compared to other social advocacy organizations. Approximately half the funds supported field organizations orchestrating nationwide demonstrations, while the remainder financed public relations professionals and media campaigns across traditional and social platforms.
Blue White Future distributed funds to various organizations including Brothers in Arms, Bonot Alternativa (“Women Building an Alternative”) – which organized the “Handmaid’s March” – and numerous other protest groups, including those in academia. Documents exposed on the Mida website additionally reveal the organization’s engagement of a Washington public relations firm for a three-month period at 75,000 dollars, specifically to advance its positions with the Biden administration.
Founded in 2009 as “Blue White Peace” before quickly adopting its current name, the organization’s stated mission focuses on advancing a two-state solution to preserve Israel’s Jewish and democratic character. Key figures include Orni Petruschka, Attorney Gilead Sher – former chief of staff to Ehud Barak and Oslo/Camp David negotiating team member – and Ami Ayalon, who previously headed the Shin Bet and served in the Labor Party. [Emphasis added, there you have it!]
The organization maintained relatively modest operations for most of its existence, with annual donations ranging from 150,000 to 1 million shekels. A notable expansion occurred in 2020 during protests against the sovereignty initiative in Judea and Samaria, though the budget remained under 7 million shekels, primarily from US sources.
The dramatic escalation in both activities and funding emerged in 2023. According to Attorney Sher, prominent activists including Shikma Bressler, Ilan Shiloah, Dan Halutz, and Orni Petruschka convened on December 14, 2022 – after the right’s electoral victory but before the new government’s installation – to establish the “Steering Committee of the Campaign Headquarters.” From January 2023, the organization substantially expanded its operations, hiring executive staff and collaborating with various partners. It later modified its bylaws to provide members with insurance and legal protection against potential lawsuits.
Financial reports indicate the organization’s 2023 turnover approached 160 million shekels ($45 million), with 120 million shekels specifically allocated to opposing Minister Yariv Levin’s judicial reform. This included 56 million shekels for public relations and media campaigns, 50 million shekels for “field activities to strengthen democracy,” 2.2 million shekels for legal assistance to detained protesters, 2 million shekels for salaries, 1.8 million for logistics and facilities, 680,000 shekels for project management, and 300,000 shekels for international travel.
While substantial, these figures represent only part of the anti-reform protest funding, as Blue White Future served as just one of several financial channels supporting the movement.
Documentation filed with the Registrar of Associations (which registers all Israeli non-profit organizations) leaves significant questions about funding sources unanswered. While over 83 million shekels ($23.4 million) originated from abroad, primarily the United States, tracing specific sources proves challenging. The largest single donation – nearly 64 million shekels – came through PEF Israel, an organization that facilitates tax-deductible donations from the US to Israel, obscuring the original donors.
Another significant contributor, the Middle East Peace Dialogue Network (MEPDN), increased its typical annual donation from hundreds of thousands of shekels to 14 million shekels in 2023. The American website Data Republican claims MEPDN functioned as an indirect channel for USAID funds, though Blue White Future categorically denies receiving any US government funding.
Israeli donations, totaling over 71 million shekels, prove more traceable. Prominent donors include billionaires and millionaires such as Morris Kahn, Ora Stibbe– former left-wing MK Stav Shaffir’s mother-in-law, Israeli-Canadian billionaire Mark Scheinberg – who previously backed Gideon Saar’s New Hope party with loan guarantees– Paz Litman, and Jonathan Kolber.
Corporate donors included Paragon – associated with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Paradox Capital – linked to influential Israeli businessman and media advertising figure Ilan Shiloah, and Zur Shamir Holdings, owner of Direct Insurance. Additional supporters included the Underwater Observatory in Eilat, Kibbutz Mishmar HaEmek (1 million shekels), Kibbutz Gilad (250,000 shekels), and former left-wing MK Zehava Galon’s NGO Zulat , which contributed over 250,000 shekels toward legal defense for arrested protesters. Some donors received the registrar’s official permission to remain anonymous.
In response to these findings, Blue White Future emphatically denied receiving any funding from USAID or other US government sources, dismissing such claims as “fake news.”

Conflicting Reports: Aid Flow to Gaza Under Scrutiny BY MORDECHAI SONES
‘Yesterday I was working at one of the border crossings into Gaza. I can confirm that there is NO shortage of aid and fuel trucks entering Gaza from Egypt’
MARCH 28, 2025 Jewish Home News – A stark contrast has emerged between recent media reports and on-the-ground observations regarding the flow of aid into the Gaza Strip, raising questions about the accuracy of claims that a Gaza aid embargo is in effect.
Recent reporting from outlets such as the Associated Press (AP) has highlighted Israeli actions that have severely restricted or halted the entry of crucial supplies into Gaza. AP reports have detailed the cutting off of all food and other supplies to Gaza. These reports have created an image of a population facing a dire humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by what some international bodies are calling the use of starvation as a weapon of war.
However, a conflicting account has surfaced from a report originating from a source close to Jewish Home News who works at a border crossing into Gaza. This report, accompanied by photographic evidence, paints a different picture. The report claims a high volume of aid and fuel trucks entering Gaza from Egypt, contradicting claims of a complete aid stoppage. The photographs provided show lines of trucks within a staging area, and vehicles said to be from the UAE.
The report states: “Yesterday I was working at one of the border crossings into Gaza. I can confirm that there is NO shortage of aid and fuel trucks entering Gaza from Egypt. I personally have never seen the volume of trucks crossing any border or port, with the exception of Rotterdam.”
The reference to Rotterdam is significant. Rotterdam is one of the largest and busiest ports in the world, known for its massive cargo throughput. By comparing the truck traffic at the Gaza border crossing to Rotterdam, the source emphasizes the sheer scale of the aid flow they witnessed. This comparison aims to underscore his claim that there is not a stoppage of aid, and that the amount of aid is extremely large.
The source said he saw “6 brand new Emirati field hospital SUV’s, a Cadillac, a Land Cruiser, and 4 GMC’s.
“You can see the line of Emirati vehicles in one photo. The other photo is of the aid trucks after clearing Israeli customs on the way to Gaza.”
Additionally, the report raises concerns about the contents of some of the shipments. It specifically mentions the presence of ammonia tankers, stating, “Also I saw ammonia tankers entering,” adding sarcastically, “and you know that ammonia is for civilian use only, right? Not as a key component of rocket fuel.”
The report also highlights a lack of thorough inspection of trucks marked as carrying “edibles,” stating, “By the way, trucks that are marked as containing edibles are not x-rayed.” The report also states, “It was one of the security agents that pointed out the ammonia tankers on the other side of the X-ray area. I asked the agent how do we know what is in those boxes, he just shrugged.”
Ammonia is a key component in fertilizers, and its use in agriculture is widespread. This is a legitimate civilian application.
But ammonia (specifically anhydrous liquid ammonia) can also be used as a rocket fuel. It was even used in some early rocket engines, like the XLR series in the X-15 research aircraft.
It has a high hydrogen content per unit volume compared to liquid hydrogen, making it denser and easier to store. It also offers a decent measure of rocket engine efficiency.
Ammonia itself is not a high explosive. However, ammonia is a key ingredient in the production of ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃), which is a major component in many industrial and improvised explosives. For example, ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil) is a widely used industrial explosive consisting of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil. It accounts for a large percentage of explosives used in mining and construction.
Ammonium nitrate can also be mixed with other explosives like TNT and RDX to create more powerful formulations such as Amatex and Amatol.
Ammonium nitrate is also a common component in Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) due to its availability.

This should come as no surprise to us, but it’s really a bombshell report — something the controlled media will not cover, even though it’s a huge story and it’s right out in the open. The controlled media covers for those who control them.
It must be noted that this cannot be dismissed as an intelligence failure or a leftist plot to bring down Bibi.
There is no right wing leadership or left wing leadership, nor is there a functioning media that engages in real journalism. They are all actively collaborating against the people. It will not end until a critical mass of people fully recognizes this and changes course accordingly.
Share this widely, because it won’t reach the general public any other way.
Speaking of establishment lies and the media dutifully covering for them, check out this CGI footage from NASA of the “astronauts stranded in outer space” returning to Earth. You’d think they could fake it a little better in all these years since 1969.
You are hereby instructed to direct all your frustrations and pent-up hatred at “haredim” who want nothing to do with the IDF, and only at them.
Jewish soldiers are getting maimed and killed in record numbers? Don’t blame the people getting them maimed and killed for nothing. Blame the haredim for not getting maimed and killed too.
You’re being robbed blind by taxes? Blame the haredim, because hundreds of trucks full of “aid” are being sent to their cities day after day with your tax money.
Arutz Sheva is all-in on the blood libeling. Check this out, for example:

Who do you think wrote this article? An unnamed journalist for a legitimate news site, or someone in the government?
