ISRAEL / (IINO)
[Ed.: Nothing newsworthy about leaking…
May 21, 2025 Jewish Breaking News – NBC News is under fire for continuing to promote a false and discredited claim that “14,000 babies will die in the next 48 hours” if humanitarian aid does not reach Gaza—a statement that has now been officially walked back by the United Nations.
The quote originated from Sam Rose Fletcher, a UNRWA representative, who told the BBC’s Today programme:
“There are 14,000 babies that will die in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them.”
When asked for clarification, Fletcher vaguely cited “strong teams on the ground” but failed to provide any supporting data or timeline. His alarming statement quickly went viral and was picked up by NBC and other mainstream outlets, sparking widespread outrage.
However, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) later clarified that the number was not accurate.
“14,100 severe cases of acute malnutrition are expected to occur among children aged six to 59 months between April 2025 and March 2026.”
Yet 24 hours later the X post is still up which leads to the story attributing the same 14,000 lie.
The UN walked back the claim, acknowledging that the figure represents potential cases of malnutrition over the course of a year—not babies at immediate risk of death.
UNOCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke added:
“We know for a fact that there are babies who are in urgent life-saving need of these supplements… but the IPC figure spans a full year—not 48 hours.”
NBC has yet to issue a correction and continues to run the story alongside a misleading photo of a severely ill child, strongly implying the child is starving due to Israeli action. Fact-checkers have since identified that the child is not suffering from starvation, but from a separate medical condition unrelated to famine.
The response on NBC’s social media has been fierce. Commenters on NBC’s X (formerly Twitter) post blasted the network:
- “Will we get an expose on why the UN humanitarian chief lied so egregiously?” – Ari Paul
- “The @UN, @NBCNews, and international media made up and instigated a blood libel against the Jewish people. The potential killers of 14,000 theoretical babies in 48 hours that never existed.” – Ron M.
- “NBC wants so much to see starving children. That is why they run a picture of a sick child, so their dumb readers will think this is a child being starved to death by evil Jews. NBC is garbage. Have you noticed how fat the Gazan adults are?” – Chava P.
- “Why is @nbcnews acting as Hamas’ mouthpiece parroting false claims without evidence?” – Michal Sabra
Critics say NBC’s reporting is not just irresponsible—it’s dangerous, fueling antisemitic conspiracy theories and spreading inflammatory misinformation at a time when tensions are already high.
🔘PROPAGANDA OF THE DAY, GAZA UPDATES, CNN RELEASES DANGEROUS INFO
May 21, 2025 Israel Realtime
▪️DISGUSTING PROPAGANDA OF THE DAY – 14,000 CHILDREN WILL DIE IN 48 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!! UK World News Tonight – “As Israel expands its assault in Gaza, the United Nations has warned that 14,000 babies will die in the next 48 hours if aid doesn’t reach them now. IanPannell reports on the growing international condemnation and rapidly growing humanitarian crisis.
…Maybe, oh I don’t know, RELEASE THE HOSTAGES and lay down your arms?
▪️A HERO SOLDIER HAS FALLEN – Danilo Mocanu, 20, from Holon, fell in battle in south Gaza. May his family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and may G-d avenge his blood!
▪️CNN SAYS – American officials told CNN: “According to intelligence we have, Israel is preparing to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.” (( Some things to consider: Is this media source reliable anymore? “Unnamed officials” prevent knowing if the source is reliable. And most importantly, this is a clear effort to manipulate US foreign policy and affect Israel’s plans, similar to the previous CIA leak of Israel’s actual attack schedule.
The FBI should be hunting these leakers of classified information down, if it is real. And the DNI should be hunting them down to fire them.
▪️AL JAZEERA INTERVIEWS HAMAS UNDERGROUND – An Al Jazeera reporter visited one of Hamas’ tunnels, where he was led blindfolded. In the interview, Hamas said that they do not hide in the tunnels, but only use them to move from place to place and carry out attacks on the IDF – although the Gaza public has noted no uniformed Hamas members can be spotted above ground since the IDF began action.
▪️DISGRACED FORMER PM OLMERT JOINS THE DEMOCRATS GOLAN’s POSITION – Disgraced (imprisoned for corruption) former Prime Minister Olmert to the BBC: ‘What Israel is doing in Gaza is very close to war crimes.’
(( There’s two things I don’t get about this: one, why would you try to weaken Israel in the diplomatic arena while in a life and death war? And two, AND THE ALTERNATIVE IS? For every diplomat screaming about Gaza, what’s your solution??? ))
▪️SMALL SANCTION ON CHILDREN OF DRAFT EVADERS – The Attorney Generals decision against eligible draft-ees who evade IDF service: Their children will no longer receive priority in the line for supervised daycare centers where the number of places is limited.
▪️MILITARY EXERCISE – UPPER GALILEE – A military exercise will take place today from morning until noon in the areas of Merom Galilee and Upper Galilee. Military forces may be spotted on the move.
▪️AIRPORT POSSIBLE SECURITY INCIDENT – Passengers at Ben Gurion Airport reported that the landing hall was closed for about half an hour due to “fear of a security incident.” No further details.
♦️GAZA UPDATES…
.. Suicide APC’s back in action? Reports from Beit Lahia (north Gaza) indicate the IDF is using old no-longer-safe-in-battle M113 armored personnel carriers as explosive drones
.. Heavy attacks reported in Rafah and Khan Yunis (south Gaza), though most of Rafah is rubble at this point there remains underground structures.
.. Very heavy attacks by gunboats and artillery, assisted by fighter jets, on various areas in the Gaza Strip in particular Gaza City.
.. Reports state the IDF moved significant additional forces into Gaza overnight, may G-d protect them.
.. ON GAZA AID – United Arab Emirates: Israel has agreed to let us bring humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
.. After the IDF warned residents that it would act forcefully in the Khan Yunis area, the IDF began demolish the terrorist infrastructure in the area, leveling the area.
.. This morning: heavy artillery fire towards the east and center of Khan Yunis (south Gaza), familiar attacks from the past that are considered “area preparation” attacks before a maneuver that will begin in the coming hours.

This is the list of Hamas’ senior figures at the beginning of the war. And what was left of it…
Jerusalem Day and the lie of ‘East Jerusalem’ MOSHE PHILLIPS
The term is not in the Torah because it is a modern political invention.
May 20, 2025 JNS – Yom Yerushalayim, or Jerusalem Day, is observed this year from Sunday evening, May 25, through Monday night, May 26. It celebrates the 68th anniversary of the reunification of Judaism’s holiest city.
Today, Israel’s control of the parts of Jerusalem that the Israeli Defense Forces liberated in 1967 is consistently and vehemently contested by Arabs, who claim those areas rightfully belong to them. This claim is a cornerstone of the daily anti-Israel propaganda disseminated by Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority associates.
Here’s the thing, though: the area Abbas refers to isn’t “East Jerusalem” at all. It’s just Jerusalem. What’s more, there is no political entity known as “East Jerusalem”—not now and not at any point in history.
The latest of these claims came on May 17 in Baghdad, where Abbas addressed fellow strongmen and despots at their 34th Arab Summit.
Abbas said: “We highly commend the role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which chairs the Arab-Islamic Committee. We thank all its members for their efforts in garnering international support for the realization of an independent Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem and for securing global recognition of this state.”
Immediately after the Old City was liberated, Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook (1891–1982), son of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935), the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi, told news reporters:
“We announce to all of Israel, and to all of the world, that by Divine command, we have returned to our home, to our holy city. From this day forth, we shall never budge from here! We have come home!”
What was Rabbi Kook referring to, if not what is now labeled “East Jerusalem”?
“East Jerusalem” is simply Jerusalem. Every biblical mention of a specific location in Jerusalem refers to an area that Abbas wants Israel to surrender. The term does not appear in the Torah because it is a modern political invention. When Israel’s enemies created this false name for Jerusalem’s Old City and surrounding neighborhood, including the Western Wall, it was meant to sever the connection between Israel and Judaism’s holiest sites.
The truth is that Yom Yerushalayim celebrates the end of the Arab world’s first successful attempt to separate Jerusalem from the Jewish people.
Immediately after Israel declared its independence, the Arab Legion from what is now Jordan attacked Jerusalem. After intense fighting and a brutal siege, the Jewish Quarter of the Old City was lost to the Arab Legion on May 27, 1948. The surviving Jewish residents sought refuge in Jerusalem’s New City. When the IDF liberated the Old City in June 1967, it found 34 of its 35 synagogues either completely or partially destroyed. So, too, were the yeshivahs. Hundreds of Torah scrolls and thousands of Jewish religious books had been desecrated and burned.
In another blatant violation of international law, the Jordanians forbade Jews from visiting the Old City during the years they illegally occupied Jerusalem. Numerous requests were made. Historical records show that in 1954, Gen. Vagn Bennike, then the chief of staff of the U.N. Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), relayed to the Jordanians a request by a small number of Jews “to cross into the Old City to offer prayers at the Western Wall.”
Similar appeals were made to U.S. government officials. In response to one such petition, Assistant Secretary of State Henry Byroade responded that because of “unfortunate tension” between the Jordanians and the Israelis, a “practical arrangement cannot be worked out.”
That Jews were not just able to visit the Western Wall but live again in the Old City is what is being celebrated on Yom Yerushalayim.
Tragically, there are elements within the American Jewish community who would have U.S. Jews believe that what they call “East Jerusalem” should not be part of Israel.
In a March 30, 2022, article on its website, J Street declared: “East Jerusalem” has been under Israeli control since 1967, and was annexed in 1980, which was internationally condemned as an illegal occupation. Ever since then, the right-wing settlement movement, which seeks a ‘unified Israeli capital,’ has been pushing to move Palestinians out of East Jerusalem and Israelis in.”
How can any American Jewish organization that advocates for parts of Jerusalem to be Judenrein be welcomed in our synagogues?
J Street is not alone in its repeated use of the term “East Jerusalem,” even though no such place exists. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) used it in a May 14 press release promoting her nakba anti-Israel legislation.
Hopefully, one day soon, the dangerous fiction of “East Jerusalem” will be a term uttered only by non-Jewish extremists.
MOSHE PHILLIPS Moshe Phillips, a veteran pro-Israel activist and author, is the national chairman of Americans For a Safe Israel (AFSI). A former board member of the American Zionist Movement, he previously served as national director of the U.S. division of Herut and worked with CAMERA in Philadelphia. He was also a delegate to the 2020 World Zionist Congress and served as editor of The Challenger, the publication of the Tagar Zionist Youth Movement. His op-eds and letters have been widely published in the United States and Israel.
May 19, 2025 Israel Realtime
❌️ Israeli special forces, in coordination with the Shin Bet, conducted a targeted operation in Khan Yunis, Southern Gaza. Initially intended as a “kill and extract” mission, the operation is now believed to have only achieved the elimination objective. Visuals from the scene revealed Israeli forces raiding an underground tunnel. According to Gazan sources, Ahmed Sarhan, a commander in the Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades—the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees—was killed during an exchange of fire. His family members were reportedly arrested during the raid. Al-Hadath reported that attempts to capture a Hamas leader remain unconfirmed. The Popular Resistance Committees acknowledged Sarhan’s death, stating he was killed during the attempted arrest. The operation remains ongoing, and there is still no confirmation regarding the extraction of hostages.
🇮🇱 In a video statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel plans to take complete control of the Gaza Strip’s territory. He praised the efforts of Israeli fighters, highlighting the “tremendous, intense fighting” taking place and commending their successes. “Our fighters are doing a great job there, including this morning — I can’t go into details,” Netanyahu stated.
📌 PM Netanyahu emphasized that preventing famine in Gaza is a critical element for achieving victory. He stated, “From the beginning of the war, we said that in order to achieve victory, one essential condition must be met — we must not allow a state of famine in Gaza. They will not support us if we reach that point.” [Emphasis added]
[Ed.: We have to feed the enemy, or the world won’t love us anymore! Actually what really happened is that IINO’s leftist, ghetto-minded Judiciary lawyers insisted on the aid.]
⚠️ PM Netanyahu also addressed ongoing threats from the Houthis, indicating that hostilities are far from over. He asserted, “It’s not over — there will still be exchanges of blows. They will continue to feel the reach of our arm. We know who’s behind them — it’s Iran. Our eyes are open there.”
💥 The IDF continues its military operation, “Gideon’s Chariots,” targeting terrorist infrastructure throughout the Gaza Strip. Over the past 24 hours, Israeli Air Force jets struck over 160 terror sites across northern, central, and southern Gaza. In northern Gaza, the strikes focused on terrorist cells, anti-tank missile launchers, and military structures. Central Gaza saw the destruction of underground infrastructure and a weapons storage facility, while in southern Gaza, targeted strikes eliminated terrorist cells, military sites, anti-tank missile positions, and booby-trapped buildings. An operations room and an anti-tank missile post belonging to terrorist organizations were also neutralized. These efforts are part of the IDF’s broader strategy to dismantle terrorist capabilities and restore security.

HOSTAGE RESCUE IS A FALSE REPORT, BUT SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER IS HAPPENING IN GAZA [FUNNY VIDEO 2:21] by David Mark
May 19, 2025 Israel Unwired – In the early morning hours from Khan Yunis reports said that at least 30 attacks from artillery and airplanes rocked the surrounding areas. Despite false reports that this was all cover for a hostage rescue mission - a different sort of special forces mission was undertaken.
WATCH THIS POOR SHMUCK MUSLOID SURVEYING HIS DECIMATED TOWN CRYING “ALLA HUAKBAR”! [2:21]
Nine soldiers from the Israeli special forces dressed like Arab women and penetrated deep into Khan Yunis attempting to extract the leader of the Al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades terror organization (Popular Resistance Committees) Ahmed Sarhan. Once he resisted – the IDF simply eliminated him. Sarhan commanded thousands of operatives and was fiercely loyal to Hamas. His elimination further breaks down the command structure of Hamas and their supporting groups.
In a non-connected incident Gazan sources report that the IDF has killed Mehdi Kouareh, the commander of the South Khan Yunis Battalion in Hamas’ military wing.
While the IDF pushes forward with its wide military offensive, Israel is busy eliminating the command structure of Hamas, breaking it down and removing the umbrella leadership. True, this will disconnect the Jihadists on the ground holding the hostages from agreeing to a comprehensive deal, but the goals has always been to destroy Hamas and get the hostages out. Any comprehensive deal Hamas will agree to leaves them in power. The best way to get the hostages out and destroy Hamas is to isolate Hamas operatives from one another by continuing to take out the leadership.
This appears to be the strategy as the pressure from ground battle increases.
So why is Witkoff insisting on a deal? The American have been putting a lot of pressure on the Israelis to cave to some sort of deal. This has been the ongoing effect of Qatari influence on the Trump administration and it does not seem to have abetted. Trump wants a deal, but the reality is, without total victory over Hamas, Israel will be viewed as weak. The Qataris want a deal, because without Hamas they lose their ultimate leverage over Israel.
In the coming days, Prime Minister Netanyahu will do everything to maximize the IDF’s flexibility in order to create a fait accompli on the ground that at the very least will leave the Gaza Strip split into cantons and at the most move the non-combatant part of the Gazan population into what was once Rafah and from there humanitarian aid can be delivered without Hamas interference.
🟨GAZA AID IS BACK, HOSTAGE RESCUE ATTEMPT OR ENEMY LEADER TARGETED? And NEGOTIATIONS
May 19, 2025 Israel Realtime
▪️GAZA AID – Prime Minister’s Office: At the IDF’s recommendation, and out of the operational need to enable the expansion of intense fighting to defeat Hamas, Israel will introduce a basic amount of food to the population to ensure that a hunger crisis does not develop in the Gaza Strip.
.. Bizarrely the Military Advocate General (chief army lawyer) demands the distribution of humanitarian aid be throughout the entire Gaza Strip. This means: bringing in hundreds of trucks a day beyond what the cabinet approved and fueling Hamas.
.. A statistic recently provided by senior officers in the Southern Command: Every humanitarian aid truck that enters Gaza and is taken over by Hamas can finance the salaries of an entire Hamas brigade for a month.

GIDEON’S CHARIOTS HAS BEGUN: AFTER HAMAS LEADERSHIP NEUTRALIZED IDF GOES IN FOR THE KILL by David Mark
May 18, 2025
Despite the rumors of a breakthrough in negotiations in Qatar, the IDF is said to have officially launched the first stage of Gideon’s Chariots, the operation whose goal it is to reoccupy the entire Gaza Strip and destroy Hamas.
Like Israel’s invasion of southern Lebanon, Israel preempted this campaign in Gaza with a decapitation blow, but taking out Mohammad Sinwar and tens of other high ranking Hamas officials in a multi blast attack near the European Hospital in Khan Yunis on Wednesday night. Sinwar’s death was confirmed only today.
“Over the past day, IDF troops in the Southern Command, both the standing army and reserves, began a broad ground operation throughout the northern and southern Gaza Strip, as part of the start of Operation Gideon’s Chariots,” the IDF said in an official statement.
“Over the past week, the Israeli Air Force conducted a preliminary wave of strikes, striking over 670 Hamas terror targets throughout the Gaza Strip to disrupt enemy preparations and support ground operations. Among the targets struck were weapon storage facilities, underground terrorist infrastructure sites, anti-tank missile launchers as well as terrorists. The Israeli Air Force continues to provide consistent support to operating troops in the Gaza Strip.”
The IDF has been striking Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip and sending armored brigades further into Gaza, both in the south and in the outskirts of Gaza City. All non-combatants have been sent to the humanitarian zone in Gaza’s south. The army has taken control of new areas and widening its control over large areas it occupies.
To the right is a map put out by the British Guardian that appears to show the goal of the first stage of the current operation. Hamas is currently breaking apart and by splitting the strips into three sections just after taking out Hamas’ leadership in Gaza, it may be enough to break the group down so each area can be tackled on its own.
After all, without a centralized leadership, local leaders may opt for exile in return for handing over living hostages. Sinwar was blocking that.
In he next few days as negotiations with Qatar over hostages in Gaza continue to fail, the IDF will shrink the remaining cantons in Gaza further, filtering non-combatants from Hamas who remain in the tunnels. The more territory shrinks the more the IDF will be further in control of humanitarian supplies and evacuation corridors for Gazans not actively waging war against Israel.
This stage may last for a few weeks, but if Hamas’ leadership really has collapsed and Gazans want to finish what their elected leadership started, then independent deals will start to happen as soon as the pressure reaches the inner areas of the built up places in the three major cantons. At this point, the IDF is pushing harder than it has since the beginning of the war knowing full well that despite the take out of Hamas’ leadership, many of Hamas’ fighters are willing to die fighting rather than leave with an agreement and release of hostages. With this in mind, the war has a potential to continue until all areas are further reoccupied and liberated from Hamas control.
No matter the timeline, what is clear is that the war is in its final phase and Gaza is set to be fully reoccupied by Israel for the first time since 1994, when Israel handed Arab majority areas over to the PLO, beginning the failed Oslo Accords.

[Ed.: And the hostage negotiations continue:
The gold-plated peacenik in the White House Melanie Phillips
Israelis are wondering whether they’ve escaped one nightmare to find themselves in another. Opinion.
May 16, 2025, 8:01 AM (GMT+3) Israel National News – (JNS) When Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election last year, many in Israel thought they’d dodged a bullet. The Democratic Party was viscerally hostile to Israel, while Trump was considered the greatest friend the Jewish state had ever had in the White House.
Now the Israelis are wondering whether they have escaped one nightmare to find themselves in another.
They were blindsided by the Trump administration’s decision to stop attacking the Houthis after the Islamist group promised to end its attacks on shipping in the Red Sea while continuing to fire missiles at Israel.
The Israelis were also cut out of the hostage deal that secured the release of 21-year-old American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander. Of course, the release of any hostage is a source of profound relief. But many were shocked that the United States dealt with Hamas directly to get its national out, while Hamas ditched a broader hostage deal that was on the verge of being clinched.
Moreover, if Qatar could force Hamas to release Alexander, then it could have got the other hostages released, too. That’s because Qatar is Hamas. Yet the Americans have fawned over the Gulf state and praised it to the skies.
In addition, Trump has accepted a luxury Boeing 747 jumbo jet—owned by the tyrant who formerly ruled Qatar and funded Hamas—to serve as the next Air Force One; he is also building a new luxury golf resort near Qatar’s capital, Doha, in partnership with a Qatari company.
It’s hard to see these as anything other than inducements to persuade Trump to advance Qatar’s interests. Doha has other links to the Trump administration, of which the most egregious is that its Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, who has gushed over Qatar in cloying terms, is in its debt. In 2023, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund bought out his faltering investment in New York’s Park Lane Hotel for $623 million.
Not only is Witkoff the beneficiary of the state with which he has been negotiating the release of the hostages, but Qatar represents the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist organization that is intent upon conquering the West for Islam. It is pursuing this aim by turning not just Witkoff but America and Britain into its hopelessly compromised debtors.
The Free Press has reported, (in a thoroughly researched article, ed.) that Qatar has spent almost $100 billion to advance its interests in Congress, American colleges and universities, U.S. newsrooms, think tanks and corporations—in other words, to suborn America.
In a similar vein, Syria’s president and former Al-Qaeda and ISIS terrorist, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has dangled the offer of a Trump Tower in Damascus as part of a full-on charm offensive to win over the president.
This week, Trump announced that America was lifting sanctions on Syria and met al-Sharaa, describing him as a “young, attractive, tough guy” with a “very strong” past—a stomach-turning way to describe his bloody and fanatical record.
Yet after announcing the end of sanctions against Syria, Trump remarked: “Oh, what I do for the crown prince!” This was a reference to Mohamed bin Salman, the effective ruler of Saudi Arabia, who, along with Turkey, is al-Sharaa’s firm ally.
Saudi support for al-Sharaa is doubtless to prevent Iran from again using Syria as its puppet. While Iran’s eclipse in Syria is welcome, its replacement by the Islamist Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as the resident strongman is hardly a cause for celebration.
And the idea that al-Sharaa has stopped being a fanatic who believes that he has a sacred duty to destroy all infidels and institute an Islamic caliphate, just because he’s trimmed his beard and now wears smart suits, is implausible.
Trump’s negotiations with Iran are also spooking Israel. Although he previously said that if Iran didn’t dismantle its nuclear program in a verifiable way, the United States would destroy it, he’s now saying that the Iran talks are going very well and that the Iranians are being “very intelligent.”
Indeed, they are. While the clock is ticking and they’re racing to build the bomb, they’re dangling Trump at the end of a string to buy time to rebuild the air defenses that Israel destroyed last October. If Trump isn’t careful, he’s going to end up in exactly the same bad place as his left-wing foes, even though they start from opposite positions.
To the post-nation universalists of the left, everyone is governed by reason and self-interest; so all conflicts are amenable to negotiation and compromise. War, say these progressives, solves nothing. What matters is avoiding people being killed.
There’s no doubting Trump’s genuine commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. But it’s now clear that he has an almost messianic belief that he can end all wars and bring peace to the world through his ability to make deals. He thinks that he can make even the most bloodthirsty tyrants an offer they can’t refuse.
He doesn’t care about the justice of a cause. He just wants to stop the killing.
Thus, he has bashed heads together in Pakistan and India to forge an uneasy peace. He believes he can do the same with Russia and Ukraine. And he’s now applying the same principle to the Middle East.
But just as the left—with their belief in some utopian nirvana of the brotherhood of man—have helped empower aggressors such as the Palestinian Arabs and abandoned their Israeli victims, so Trump is in danger of doing the same thing. Like his foes on the left, he doesn’t seem to grasp that any negotiation with a non-negotiable agenda, such as the belief by Iran’s rulers that bringing about the apocalypse will cause the arrival of the Shia messiah on earth, is inescapably an act of surrender.
In his consequential speech in Riyadh, Trump announced a total rupture with the “neo-conservative” aim of remaking the Middle East in the image of American democracy.
“In recent years, far too many American presidents have been afflicted with the notion that it’s our job to look into the souls of foreign leaders and use U.S. policy to dispense justice for their sins,” he said. “I believe it is God’s job to sit in judgment, my job to defend America and to promote the fundamental interest of stability, prosperity and peace.”
Well, amen to that. However, the alternative to imposing Western values on the Arab world is not choosing to ignore the attempt by elements of that Arab world to impose Islam on the West. The correct course of action is, as it always has been, to fight and defeat these threats to Western interests.
Trump’s mantra “peace through strength” is fine, but strength inescapably involves the credible threat of war. His Riyadh speech suggested instead that he’s using showers of money to tell those who threaten the West, as well as their putative victims, that all of them are now on their own. America won’t do war. There’s a peacenik of the right in the White House raining down gold instead of missiles.
Trump says he doesn’t have enemies. Where others see threats, he sees only financial opportunities.
The inconvenient truth, however, is that some people are out to destroy America and the West. If Trump doesn’t regard these as enemies, he will leave America and the West defenseless against attack.
It also puts him radically at odds with Israel, which views fighting and winning the war to defeat genocidal Iran as essential for its survival.
When Edan Alexander was released, the head of Qatar’s state-run Al Sharq News gloated that America had now been peeled away from Israel by “a move that constitutes implicit recognition of Hamas” and that would “deal a blow to Netanyahu and his Zionist team.”
It’s possible that Trump has a genius strategy that will cause lions to lie down with lambs.
It’s possible that he will soon realize that his quest to bring peace on earth is hitting a dead end and that he will accordingly turn on a dime.
But it’s also possible that he won’t realize that he’s been played for a sucker until it’s all far too late.

Joe Rogan defends Ye’s ‘Heil Hitler’ song Grace Gilson, JTA
Podcaster Joe Rogan defends Kanye West’s antisemitic track ‘Heil Hitler,’ echoing its stereotypes and claiming Jewish control of diamonds.
May 17, 2025 Israel National News
Joe Rogan defended Kanye West’s latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” on his podcast Tuesday and echoed the song’s antisemitic stereotypes.
West, who now goes by “Ye,” released the track last week, in which he sings the chorus, ““All my n—s Nazis, n—a, heil Hitler.” It’s the latest in Ye’s long stream of blatantly antisemitic comments and actions. Since its release, it has attracted both harsh criticism as well as some support from conspiracy-minded figures.
The chorus of praise also includes Rogan, one of the country’s most popular podcasters, who spoke up for the track’s music as well as its message. On Tuesday’s episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience,” he talked with comedian Tom Segura about the song, beginning his commentary by saying, “first of all, [it’s] kind of catchy.”
Regarding “Heil Hitler,” he added, “I don’t think it’s a good thing to say, I don’t say it. I certainly don’t think, I don’t think any racism is good. I don’t think antisemitism is good.”
Then he defended the song’s antisemitic message.
“If you ban it, then people want to hear it more, and then it becomes more popular, and then it kind of supports what he says, which is that there’s this concerted effort, if you talk about Jewish people, that they’re going to remove you from everything,” Rogan said. “Remove you from banking, which is what he’s saying. They run everything.”
Later in the episode, the pair discussed West’s diamond-encrusted swastika necklace. Earlier this year, the rapper sold swastika T-shirts on his site.”
“You know a Jew sold him that,” said Rogan of the necklace, to which Segura responded “probably.”
“The Jewish have been controlling diamonds for a long time,” said Rogan. “They’re very smart about the diamonds, because the diamonds aren’t even really that valuable.”

IDF Prepares For Large-Scale Arrest Op, Including Chareidim For The First Time
May 15, 2025 Yeshiva World News – The drama surrounding the recruitment of Chareidim continues, with Kan News reporting on Wednesday evening that the IDF is preparing a large-scale operation aimed at capturing Chareidi draft dodgers.
In a policy change, the arrest operation, unlike the three previous operations that have taken place since the beginning of the war, will include bnei yeshivos.
Additionally, even bnei yeshivos who only received their first draft orders will be arrested, a group that includes a high percentage of bnei yeshivos.
In previous operations to capture deserters and draft dodgers, the IDF refrained from operating in Chareidi areas. Reports that an arrest operation against Chareidi draft dodgers took place earlier this week were mistaken, with only one Chareidi draft dodger arrested out of 38.
The IDF’s move to expand enforcement is taking place against the backdrop of public criticism surrounding the previous operation, when the IDF was criticized for avoiding operating in Chareidi areas.
Chareidi party representatives have informed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that they will consider an immediate withdrawal from the government if the military police begin an arrest operation against bnei yeshivos.

⚫ TERROR SNIPER KILLS PREGNANT WOMAN, CHABAD OPENS MILITARY PREP SCHOOL
May 15, 2025 Israel Realtime
🔪HORRIFIC TERROR ATTACK KILLS PREGNANT WOMEN – on her way with her husband to deliver. A terrorist sniper shot the couple as they travelled between Baruchin and the Feduel Interchange (Ariel area) as they drove towards a hospital in central Israel with the woman was in labor. Rescue forces transported them to the hospital, but the hospital was unable to save the mother. It was able to deliver the baby, who has been upgraded from critical to ‘serious but stable’ condition. The father was moderately wounded.
The IDF deployed extensive forces to hunt for the terrorist, which was unsuccessful.
Samaria Council Head Yossi Dagan: “We expect the Israeli government and the IDF’s senior command to officially announce that the doctrine of containment is dead, and to raze the villages from which four shooting attacks on the same road originated.”
This is the fourth shooting attack in the last four months to be carried out in the same area. All of them have a similar pattern – use of a long weapon in the dark and escape.
The fallen mother is Tsala Gaz, from Ruchin. May the family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, may G-d avenge her blood, and may Hashem send a speedy and complete healing to tinok(et?) bat Tasla. Among the mourners are the students of the yeshiva Jerusalem Torah Academy for English speaking where she worked.
Hamas put out an official statement praising the attack.
▪️FORCED CEASEFIRE? Al-Arabiya Channel: The US is pressuring Israel to agree to a ceasefire for several days. The US has informed the mediators of its opposition to expanding the war in Gaza. (There is no confirmation of this from any Israeli or US source, it may be wishful thinking or propaganda to affect the situation. Or real.)
▪️ON HAREDI DRAFT – CHABAD OPENS A PRE-MILITARY PREP SCHOOL – The Netzach Yehuda Association will open its first Chabad pre-military preparatory school in the town of Bat Hadar near Ashkelon. Pre-military schools in Israel prepare students for military service, with a focus on advanced roles and combat roles. The school will combine Torah and Hasidic study with meaningful military service preparation, in a connection to the values of Chabad and the tradition of Chabad yeshivahs.
The school states it will focus on teaching Gemara (Talmud) and Halacha (Jewish law), delve deeper into the teachings of Hasidic Judaism and acquiring spiritual tools, while maintaining the Chabad way of life alongside preparation for military service on front line and in elite units.
▪️DOZENS OF PROTECTED ANIMALS SEIZED – a resident of the village of “Palestinian” village Beit Sira (near Modi’in Illit) was caught illegally raising various types of protected animals, including green monkeys, Israeli gazelles, antelopes, African hornbills, hyenas, porcupines, various types of deer, pheasants, falcons, pheasants, and partridges. Seized by police, taken to the Ramat Gan safari.
▪️AIR TRAVEL – CANCELLED – after El Al was forced to cancel a flight from Poland to Israel, hundreds of Israelis are stranded with no alternative airline available due to many airlines not flying to Israel.
▪️GAZA AID – The Gaza Humanitarian Fund, a body established through an American initiative, announced that it will begin operations in the Gaza Strip before the end of the month.
♦️IDF RAIDED A HOUSE OF TERRORIST IN TUBAS, SAMARIA – forces surrounded a house containing terrorists in the town of Tubas, and a firefight ensued ending with shoulder fired missiles by IDF forces.
♦️IDF HEAD OF NORTHERN COMMAND – asks to end his role after leading the war against Hezbollah for a year and half.
🔹SYRIAN SECURITY FORCES BEGAN ARRESTING – foreign fighters who operated in the ranks of the regime president’s terror militia. In one case a Gazan terrorist who operated in the ranks of the organization was arrested.

[Ed.: Every day in the Land of IINO Arab terrorists kill Jews. Every day! Not one Arab should be living in the land of Israel; Meir Kahane was right when he said “They MUST go!” But he was labeled as a “terrorists” and the IINOs hired an Arab to assassinate him! Consequently, all day, EVERY DAY, year after year, THEY ARE KILLING US. Jewish blood is cheapest in the Land of IINO. The cliche “Never Again” is nothing but a fart of the mouth. The Jewish blood saturates the shark-laden waters…
The morning starts off with tears Avi Abelow
May 15, 2025 Pulse of Israel
The morning starts off with tears, upon hearing the news that another Jew, this time a young Jewish mother, has been murdered, in cold blood.
Tzala Gaz, may God avenge her blood, was nine months pregnant, on her way to the hospital to bring new life into the world. She was gunned down by Arab Muslim terrorists, Islamonazi*s, from a village just minutes away from her home in Samaria.
Her only “crime”? Being a Jew living in her homeland. The same “crime” for which Jews were slaughtered in Hebron in 1929. In Safed in 1834 and 1929. In Jerusalem in 1920, 1929, and 1936–39. In Tiberias in 1938. In Jaffa in 1921. Long before there was a State of Israel. Long before 1967. Long before the world began parroting the lie of “occupation.”
Let’s stop lying to ourselves. The same genocidal hatred that fueled the Islamonaz* monsters in Gaza on October 7th is alive and well in the Arab Muslim cities and towns of Judea and Samaria. They are preparing for their own October 7th — hoarding weapons, training their youth in jihad, and worshiping martyrdom. Their leaders speak the language of peace in English for the cameras, and preach Jew-hatred in Arabic to their people. The world may be blind, but we must not be.
Governor of Samaria, Yossi Dagan is right. What we are doing in Gaza to uproot terror must be done in Judea and Samaria. We must flatten the terror nests in Kafr ad-Dik, Brukhin, Jenin, Shechem, and the rest. These are not peaceful villages—they are terror factories, no different than Rafah or Khan Yunis in Gaza.
They chose this path. Just like in Gaza, they are bringing another Nakba/destruction upon themselves.
Instead of embracing the opportunity to live peacefully alongside a thriving Jewish state, they have chosen a life of evil, barbarism, and self-destruction. They teach their children to hate, to kill, to die.
Just as they lost their homes in 1948 when they chose war and terror over coexistence, just as they are losing their homes in Gaza for choosing death over life, so too will they lose in Judea and Samaria as they continue down this path. And when that happens, they will have no one to blame but themselves. Again.
And yet—despite it all—we are still here. Stronger than ever.
They tried to destroy us in 1834. We stayed.
They massacred our families in 1929. We came back stronger.
They blew up our buses. We built highways.
They fired rockets. We planted vineyards.
They slaughtered women and children on October 7th. And we fight, we live, and we rebuild.
Today, over 500,000 proud Jews live in Judea and Samaria. Nearly 8 million Jews live across Israel. Their terror was meant to scare us away. Instead, we are planting deeper roots.
To our enemies: You’re not pushing us out. You’re pushing yourselves out.
To the world: We are not “occupiers.” We are home.
To our fellow Jews: Pray for the life of Tzala’s newborn son. Pray for his father. But also pray for clarity and strength—for the courage to speak truth, to act with justice, and to never bow before evil.
Help me share these truths the world doesn’t want to hear.
Because only through truth will we defeat lies. And only by us living as a proud and strong indigenous nation sovereign in our homeland will we secure peace.
Am Yisrael Chai. We’re not going anywhere. We will build, we will plant, we will thrive — and we will win.

Students held signs declaring that “Israel is a criminal and is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing” – “Enough with the extermination, enough with the starvation, enough with the expulsion.” They sang the “Palestinian Anthem” while mourning the creation of the State of Israel due to the impact on the Arab population who fled as the surrounding Arab nations tried to eliminate the Jews. A similar ceremony was held at the University of Haifa.
▪️GAZAN WORKERS SPIED FOR HAMAS TO PLAN OCT. 7 INVASION – Evidence grows that Hamas embedded an intelligence network inside Israel through Gazan workers who entered legally under the labor policy.

SHOCK IN ANTWERP: Police Raid Homes Of Mohelim, Confiscate Bris Knives
May 14, 2025 Yeshiva World News – Police in Antwerp early Wednesday morning raided the homes of mohelim in the Chareidi kehilla in the city, seeking their bris knives and lists of children, including the homes of renowned mohelim, HaRav Aharon Eckstein and HaRav Moshe Landau.
The police raid follows an outrageous lawsuit filed over a year ago by a Jew with a history of provoking Jewish kehillos in Europe.
According to testimonies, the officers knocked on doors and said, “Either you open up, or we break in.”
The police confiscated all the knives in their possession despite the fact that there has yet to be a court ruling on the case, and requested the list of all the babies they circumcised in the past year.
The Jewish complainant crossed a red line by not only filing a lawsuit against the mohelim but also against Rabbanim and Rebbes who serve as sandekim at brisos, including the Rebbe of Peshwarsk and even the late Gaavad of the Shomrei HaDas community, HaGaon HaRav Dovid Moshe Lieberman, z’tl.
The European Jewish Association (EJA) issued a statement condemning the police raid. EJA chairman Rabbi Menachem Margolin said that “this constitutes yet another red line crossed in the intimidation of Jewish religious figures in Belgium.”
“Following the ban on ritual slaughter, the harassment of Mohels represents a further red line and a clear warning sign to Belgian Jews and the Belgian government. Freedom of religion must be upheld!”
“Any restriction, no matter how small, on circumcision in Belgium would send a clear message to Belgian Jews that they are not welcome in the country”.
“The EJA urges law enforcement authorities, policymakers, the government, and members of parliament must urgently pass legislation that explicitly guarantees circumcision as a protected part of religious freedom under the law.”
[Ed.: In Belgium, the capital of the EU, they really can’t have no Jews practicing their stinkin’ religion. It’s highly offensive to their Moslems. Capiche?]

Is Israel going to stand up and lead?
SCREAMS BEFORE SILENCE Full Video [57:00] A documentary film on the sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7th, Screams Before Silence is a documentary film led by American businesswoman Sheryl Sandberg, that explores the sexual violence by Hamas during the Hamas-led attack on Israel, on 7 October 2023, including events at the massacre at the Nova Festival and abductions to the Gaza Strip.
Eye Opening Survey Exposes Widespread Fears of October 7 Repeat
May 13, 2025 Jewish Breaking News – An eye-opening new survey reveals Israel’s deep-seated security fears a year and a half after the October 7 Hamas massacre that left 1,200 civilians brutally murdered and 251 taken hostage to Gaza.
Conducted by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA), the survey found an overwhelming majority of respondents (85%) reject Hamas maintaining any military presence in Gaza, while 81% oppose the Iranian-backed terrorist organization playing even a civilian governance role. Support for Hamas in any capacity registers barely above single digits at just 7-8%. Nearly two-thirds of Israelis (63%) oppose allowing evacuated residents to return to border communities in southern Israel if Hamas remains in power when the war ends.
“The survey shows that the Israeli public is not willing to accept continued Hamas rule in Gaza, even when faced with the dilemma of a hostage deal with Hamas,” noted Dan Diker, president of the JCFA.
Declining trust in the Palestinian Authority is also evident, though there has been some movement in public opinion. While opposition to PA involvement in post-war Gaza governance has decreased from 60% in March to 50% currently, support remains low at just 25%.
The lingering psychological impact of October 7 has significantly shaped Israeli attitudes toward Judea and Samaria as well, with 70% of all respondents and a striking 81% of Jewish Israelis expressing fear that a similar attack could originate from the territory. Meanwhile, opposition to a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders remains high at 66% overall and 78% among Jewish respondents. Only 1% of Jewish Israelis expressed unconditional support for such a state.
As for broader regional threats, a majority of Israelis (60%) support military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities. While 37% favor coordination with the United States on such a strike, nearly a quarter (23%) would support unilateral Israeli action.
“The public understands that Israel’s security and existential threats require decisive leadership,” says Diker.

Edan Was Held Shackled In A Metal Cage; Endured Severe Torture
May 13, 2025 Yeshiva World News – Disturbing details about the conditions that released hostage Edan Alexander endured in captivity in Gaza were revealed only hours after his release, Kan News reported.
According to his initial testimony, Alexander endured severe torture in Gaza, mainly during lengthy interrogations, as well as physical violence and psychological terror.
He was confined to a metal cage for an extended period of time, shackled by his hands and feet. When he was released, he required assistance to walk due to the long period he was shackled.
He was deliberately starved while in captivity and endured extreme hunger. Iin recent months, as the Trump administration engaged in efforts for his release, he was provided with more food.
Throughout his captivity, he was held alongside other hostages in a dark tunnel in southern Gaza, without any access to sunlight. His Hamas captors referred to him as “the American.”
Alexander was the last living hostage in Gaza with US citizenship.
May 13, 2025 Yeshiva World News – The military police launched an arrest operation on Tuesday evening against Chareidim who have not reported for conscription orders sent to them in recent months.
The arrest of bnei yeshivos for refusing to serve in the army is unprecedented, something that hasn’t happened since the establishment of the state.
“In the first stage, we are talking about dozens, an action that is mainly supposed to create deterrence,” Ynet reported.
The IDF stated on Tuesday: “Anyone eligible for the draft who did not report for conscription in accordance with the instructions of the order he received is expected to face disciplinary or criminal sanctions.”
The IDF later claimed that the arrests are part of a routine operation that takes place every year. “The military police are working to locate and capture deserters from all populations. This is not a targeted action against Chareidim,” the army stated.
However, the Charedi parties expressed great anger at the very existence of the operation, especially at the present time, when the draft law is still being formulated.
Senior officials in the Chareidi parties conveyed a warning to the Prime Minister’s Office: “If bnei yeshivos are arrested, we will consider immediate resignation from the government.”
Shas chairman Aryeh Deri declared last month that he would leave the government if even one ben yeshivah is arrested.
The Chareidi parties are now working with the Ministry of Defense and the IDF to examine the implications of the operation, and are applying significant pressure for the operation to be halted.
B’Chadrei Chareidim reported that the Eidah HaChareidit scheduled an emergency discussion later on Tuesday.
A source in the Eidah told B’Chadrei: “They think they will come to us by surprise, but we will turn the tables – we will tell them: take them now.” According to the source, such a move is being seriously considered.
Last week, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir instructed the IDF’s Personnel Directorate to present him with an immediate plan to expand the issuance of draft orders to Charedim. At the same time, the IDF was instructed to act to increase the absorption and training capabilities of Chareidi soldiers.
⚪FREED HOSTAGE RECEIVING TREATMENT, SHORTAGE OF TNT, WHY DID THE US STOP?
May 13, 2025 Israel Realtime
CORRECTION – in last nights post there was a quote from Syria, after which I accidentally included a quote that was going to be a separate item from the Houthis. The Syrian quote spoke of being cooperative, the Houthi quote about continuing other attack the Jews because … Jews, “no matter how great the sacrifices.”
▪️FREED HOSTAGE IDAN ALEXANDER – decided not to fly to Qatar. He will speak by phone with Trump today and is expected to meet with him later this month at the White House.
Family: His medical condition also requires him to rest and receive treatment in the hospital.
▪️GLOBAL SHORTAGE OF TNT? There is a severe global shortage of two war materials: TNT, the main explosive in artillery shells, and a chemical known as artillery fuel, due to the highest demand for artillery shells since the start of the Ukraine war.
▪️INT. COURT OF JUSTICE CORRUPTED – The prosecutor of the International Court of Justice, Khan, admitted that the arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Galant were issued for political reasons.
▪️PRIME MINISTER SAYS – to representatives of the War Injured Forum: “We will occupy Gaza and our security control will be there forever. There will be no Islamic caliphate in Gaza, neither of Hamas nor of the Palestinian Authority. A decision has been made to go to the end.”
▪️BRITISH “TOURIST” ARRESTED – A British BDS activist was arrested in Hebron after harassing soldiers, violating a major’s order, refusing to identify herself to the troops, and threatening a police chief. The anti-Semite was arrested by the Shechem District Commander and will remain in detention until her deport.
▪️CULTURE CONFLICT – WeWork Jerusalem publishes a notice prohibiting use of their conference rooms by office renters (who get shared conference room time) for ‘gatherings for prayer’ and threatens lawsuits if the rule is violated (shared widely on media channels with the notice letter). Bizarrely unusual as most office buildings in Israel have rooms that can be used or are set aside for daily Jewish prayer, particularly in Jerusalem.
♦️IDF STRIKES ANOTHER HAMAS COMMAND CENTER – aka hospital: The IDF carried out a strike on “key” Hamas operatives who were operating out of Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis. Among those reported killed is Gazan journalist Hassan Eslaiah.
♦️IDF ARTILLERY FIRE INTO GAZA – this morning, heavy artillery attacks on Beit Hanun and Hamuda Square.
🔹THE HOUTHIS – shot down another US MQ-09 multi-million dollar observation drone over Sa’ada. On October 7, 2023, Eslaiah, who was freelancing for the Associated Press, took photos of a burning tank on the Gaza border which had been attacked by Hamas operatives. He also invaded Israel with the terrorists and photographed them entering Kibbutz Nir Oz, where dozens of civilians were massacred, while carrying grenades in his own video and pointing out to terrorists where civilians were.
🔹US vs the HOUTHIS – today’s big news is a New York Times analysis of why Trump stopped the attacks against the Houthis, using “current and former officials with knowledge of the discussions” who “spoke on the condition of anonymity”. Their summary, with lots of spin: Trump decided too costly, using up too many weapons stocks that may be needed if this explode vs China, and not sufficiently effective – particularly if the Houthis would back down which they did (about attacking international shipping). https://archive.md/0aTiI

🟣HOSTAGE RELEASED BUT ???, COMMENT FROM THE RESERVES, PESACH SHENI KORBAN? And SYRIA OFFERS
May 12, 2025 Israel Realtime
⭕HOUTHI BALLISTIC MISSILE fired at Israel today, missed. We previously reported this, but I want to be very clear: ISRAEL IS BEING ATTACKED EVERY SINGLE DAY. [Emphasis added with embarrassment and disgust]
🎗️HOSTAGE RELEASED – at approximately 8:00 PM, Idan Alexander, IDF soldier and dual US-Israeli citizen, released by Hamas as a gift to US President Trump.
.. Conflicting reports saying Israel will now send a negotiating team to either Doha, Qatar or Egypt for a last chance deal before Israel’s new Gaza occupation. Per the PM, to Qatar.
.. Concerns about Idan’s health, as no videos or reunion photos have been released. Initial information indicates torture and prolonged starvation.
▪️COMMENT FROM AN ACTIVE-RESERVE COMBAT SOLDIER – in attempting to not harm the hostages, we have lost 3x their number in combat soldiers in Gaza. We CANNOT publicly “care” about the hostages, because doing so has allowed the enemy to weaponize our humanity, our civility, and is PREVENTING US FROM WINNING, the other option being DYING.
How many of our soldier lives are you going to sacrifice to protect those who slaughtered babies, and how many is enough to sacrifice for each hostage when you KNOW Hamas will NEVER return them all alive if not forced to do so – which will require that more of them to die?
▪️PESACH SHENI KORBAN – the 2nd opportunity for Passover, for those who missed the first one at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem per ancient practice, was Sunday night-Monday. A small group of Jewish revival activists briefly pushed through a Temple Mount gate successfully smuggling a young goat onto the Mount as a Passover sacrifice. They did not complete the sacrificial offering, and left shortly thereafter.
▪️HOUTHIS RALLY AGAINST ISRAEL – Hours after the Israeli threat to attack the ports of Hodeidah, the Houthis people took to the streets in a huge popular tribal rally.
▪️US PRESIDENT TRUMP – is scheduled to arrive in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tomorrow morning.

Hamas transferred Alexander to the Red Cross in Khan Younis quietly, without any formalities. From there, he was escorted to IDF troops stationed within Gaza.
He is now being transported to a military facility near Re’im, where he will undergo a preliminary medical evaluation.

Israel is ‘considering stopping the reception of U.S. military aid.’ Avi Abelow
May 11, 2025 Pulse of Israel
You won’t believe what I’m about to tell you—but I confirmed it personally, because even I couldn’t believe it at first.
In a recent meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu actually said that Israel is ‘considering stopping the reception of U.S. military aid.’
Yes, you read that correctly. Not “demanding more,” not “thanking the U.S. for its support,” but actually re-evaluating whether Israel should continue receiving it at all.
That might sound small—but it signals a seismic shift.
This is huge!
Now before you say, “Come on, Avi, that must be misreported,” let me be clear: I don’t take anything the media says at face value. So I checked it out myself. I personally verified it. This is not a rumor. It is true. Netanyahu actually said it.
And that changes everything.
Because it means something big is happening behind the scenes. It means we can not trust the headlines about Trump and U.S. policy decisions on Israel, not about so-called “aid” or its supposed conditions. There is a thick fog of smoke and mirrors being deployed right now by US and Israeli leaders, strategically, and the media is totally misreporting everything.
And when Netanyahu of all people—arguably the most pro-American prime minister Israel has ever had—starts publicly stating an end to U.S. military aid, you know tectonic plates are shifting.
Think about what that means. It means Israel finally wants to end strategic dependence on the U.S, which the US deep state has used, together with the Israeli deep state, to control Israeli policy. It means our leadership finally wants to act upon the understanding that the strings attached to that aid is a greater threat than the absence of the aid itself.
And we’re running out of time.
A U.S. Congressman told me this to my face, in his Capitol Hill office just a few months ago:
“We only have a year and a half to make Israel as independent as possible, with its own production capability of all weapons and munitions. Because America needs a strong and secure Israel, and future administrations will be even worse than the Biden administration. And we might lose the House and Senate in the midterms.”
This isn’t paranoia. It’s reality. He knows that for America to be safe, and protected from future damaging administrations, Israel must be independent!
You can’t depend on a White House that hires Muslim Britherhood officials to senior government positions. You can’t trust a media that whitewashes Jew-haters while condemning Jews for defending themselves. And you certainly can’t stake your future on a system being swallowed by “progressive”, really regressive radicals who see Israel as the enemy.
So when Netanyahu says Israel is “considering stopping U.S. military aid,” it’s not just a policy discussion—it’s a bombshell.
Israel must prepare for full independence—militarily, economically, diplomatically. And every Jew and every Zionist around the world must step up and support Israel’s sovereignty, not in theory but in action.
Because the era of dependence is ending.
And the era of Jewish strength must begin—on our terms, with our values, and without permission from Washington.
Trump’s recent decisions—and statements from close allies like Governor Mike Huckabee—make one thing increasingly clear: they are signaling, intentionally or not, that it’s time for Israel to stand on its own two feet.
Am I still worried about Trump administration connections to Qatar, the evil master of the Muslim Britherhood and founder of the Oct. 7th? Yes, I am.
But, while at first glance some of the Trump administration moves may appear disappointing or confusing, ie – the U.S. deal with the Houthis that does not include Israel – especially to those expecting unwavering alignment, the deeper message is strategic.
They are pushing Israel to become more independent, more self-reliant, and less entangled in the dangerous dependency on American political tides.
This is the lens through which I believe we must interpret the Trump team’s actions—not as abandonment, but as a challenge to rise. And it’s the greatest opportunity we’ve had in generations: to finally step fully into our God given role in the region as the strong, sovereign regional indigenous nation we were meant to be, free of any foreign master pulling our strings.
To some this might be a very scary thought, but it is the right direction, pivoting from a dependent state into an equal ally.
These are unbelievable, redemptive times, and only put your faith in Hashem above!
Am Yisrael Chai!!!

🔹 The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced the completion of the fourth round of indirect Iran-U.S. negotiations, describing them as “difficult but useful,” aimed at understanding each other’s positions and finding realistic solutions to address differences. Meanwhile, Israel has clearly conveyed to U.S. officials its strong opposition to any nuclear deal that allows Iran to maintain uranium enrichment capabilities. Israeli officials emphasized that the current timing presents an ideal opportunity for the U.S. to take decisive action to dismantle Iran’s nuclear facilities, viewing it as a critical measure to eliminate future threats.
🇮🇱 Prime Minister Netanyahu dismissed the idea of a Palestinian state and rejected claims of tensions with Washington, attributing them to political agendas. He emphasized Israel’s sovereignty in military actions, stating, “Israel did not ask for permission to attack the Houthis and will not ask for permission for its war plans in Gaza,” underscoring its commitment to independent decision-making in security matters.
🎗️ Direct talks between Hamas and U.S. representatives in Doha led to an agreement for the release of Edan Alexander in exchange for Israel opening humanitarian corridors into Gaza. Israel is not required to release Palestinian prisoners but must agree to a temporary ceasefire and halt drone flights over Gaza to ensure Alexander’s safe transfer.
The Prime Minister’s Office disputes this, claiming the U.S. informed Israel that Hamas plans to release Alexander “as a gesture to the Americans, without any conditions.”
Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya stated the group’s willingness to negotiate a final agreement to end the war, exchange prisoners, and establish an independent administration for Gaza.
U.S. President Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, remarked: “We want to bring the hostages back, but Israel doesn’t want to end the war.”
🔹Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, is set to demand a re-evaluation of the humanitarian aid framework to Gaza during tonight’s Cabinet meeting. He plans to present a detailed legal opinion, drafted by attorney David Peter at his request, asserting that Israel is not obligated under international law to allow aid into Gaza. This stance directly challenges Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara’s previous claim that Israel must provide aid. According to the legal opinion, “A warring state is not required to supply aid to enemy territory under international law. It must only permit humanitarian aid from third parties to the civilian population, provided it does not reach the enemy, is effectively monitored, and does not enhance military or economic capabilities (Article 23 of the Fourth Geneva Convention).”
Ben-Gvir argues that as long as Hamas holds Israeli captives under dire conditions in tunnels, no aid should be allowed into Gaza. He referenced testimonies from released hostages who described receiving minimal food while in captivity, even during periods when large aid shipments were sent to Gaza. The opinion also highlights that there is no international prohibition preventing uninvolved civilians from leaving combat or siege zones. This complete legal document will be presented to Prime Minister Netanyahu, ministers, and security officials in tonight’s session, aiming to redefine Israel’s stance on humanitarian aid to Gaza amid ongoing conflict and hostage situations.

Is Trump Breaking with Israel? By Robert Spencer
May 10, 2025 – Is Donald Trump really preparing to recognize a Palestinian state? The news hit like a thunderbolt on Saturday, amid an avalanche of stories claiming that Trump is angry with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and is changing course from his previous wholehearted support of Israel’s defense against Hamas and the other jihadist entities that are determined to destroy it. As is so often the case in such matters, however, there was decidedly less to the story than there initially appeared to be.
The Jerusalem Post picked up the story Saturday from the American news agency The Media Line. The distancing from the claim began in the headline: “Gulf diplomatic source claims Trump will announce US recognition of Palestinian state.” As the story unfolded, the claim became even more tenuous.
The assertion that Trump would recognize a Palestinian state at the upcoming Gulf-US summit was attributed to “a Gulf diplomatic source, who declined to be named or disclose his position.” This anonymous individual claimed that “President Donald Trump will issue a declaration regarding the State of Palestine and American recognition of it, and that there will be the establishment of a Palestinian state without the presence of Hamas.”
Just three paragraphs later, however, The Media Line quoted a person who didn’t decline to be named, denying the whole thing: “Ahmed Al-Ibrahim, a former Gulf diplomat, told The Media Line, ‘I don’t expect it to be about Palestine. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and King Abdullah II of Jordan have not been invited. They are the two countries closest to Palestine, and it would be important for them to be present at any event like this.’”
So what we end up with is one anonymous source indulging in speculation about what Trump will do at the Gulf summit, and someone else denying that speculation. The pro-Israel activist known on X as Brian of London said of the story that it was “Completly [sic] irresponsible for @Jerusalem_Post to run it and especially with that headline. The internet will go crazy over this s**t quote to a 5th tier news wire which is even contradicted by a NAMED source a few paragraphs down.” And indeed, online Israel-haters immediately began celebrating.
That was just one of a flood of stories over the past week that claimed that there was a breach between Trump and Israel. A Hebrew-language report in Israel Hayom bore this headline: “Sources close to the president: ‘Trump is disappointed with Netanyahu and has decided to advance steps in the Middle East without him.’” The claim was attributed once again to people who declined to be named, and who were identified as “two senior sources close to the president.”
On Friday, Trump’s ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, responded on X: “It’s reckless & irresponsible for press to allege that @POTUS and @IsraeliPM are not getting along. Bibi has spent more time with @realDonaldTrump than I have in past 3 months & I’m his ambassador! The relationship between US & Israel remains STRONG!”
These stories and similar ones have been circulating amid a highly volatile situation. The news went out worldwide that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had canceled his trip to Israel, which was trumpeted far and wide as further evidence of a US/Israel rift, but then it turned out that Trump had asked Hegseth to accompany him to the Gulf summit, and the trip to Israel will take place later. A Friday Washington Post story concluded with this: “Huckabee denied reports that Trump was backing away from Israel. ‘I think the answer to that is an emphatic no,’ he said.”
There seems, however, to be a concerted effort to create a rift even if there isn’t one. Or those who are responsible for these false reports may be engaging in Lyndon Johnson’s old tactic. During a rough campaign, Johnson is said to have told his aides to spread a false story about his opponent. When they told him that the story wasn’t true, he replied, “I know it isn’t. I just want to hear him deny it.”
This wouldn’t be even close to the first time that the leftist establishment media has ginned up a controversy where there wasn’t one. At this point, there is no reason to doubt Huckabee’s statement that the US/Israel alliance is as strong as ever. Whatever happens at the Gulf summit, it is almost certain to bring yet more confirmation of the fact that the establishment media cannot be trusted.
🛑 U.S.-IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS AT A CRITICAL IMPASSE, HEIGHTENED RISKS OF MILITARY ESCALATION
May 11, 2025 Israel Realtime
⚠️ The ongoing nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran have reached a critical impasse, with Iranian officials reporting to CNN that they believe the U.S. is “not genuine” in its approach, describing the talks as a “trap” to escalate tensions and justify military action. Iran claims the U.S. has been uncooperative, providing only “short and general answers,” disregarding main proposals, and “constantly changing its position.” Tehran is now preparing for what it calls “the next stage,” with political, economic, and military sectors developing strategies over the past month. The Iranian government has made it clear that uranium enrichment on its soil remains a “definite red line,” refusing to compromise on its nuclear capabilities.
‼️ President Trump has publicly stated that the U.S. will only accept the “full dismantlement” of Iran’s nuclear program, emphasizing that there can be no path for Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. This firm stance includes demands to dismantle nuclear sites and cease uranium enrichment activities. While the U.S. has offered the easing of economic sanctions in exchange, Iran insists on its right to enrich uranium for “civilian purposes” and refuses to discuss its ballistic missile program. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi reaffirmed that Tehran will not relinquish its nuclear rights, warning that if the goal of negotiations is to strip Iran of its nuclear capabilities, no agreement will be reached.
⭕ Should the talks collapse, experts predict severe consequences, including potential military conflict. Analysts warn that a failed U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure could backfire, enabling Iran to produce nuclear weapons unimpeded. Furthermore, Iran could retaliate with ballistic missile strikes against Israel and U.S. regional military bases, disrupting global energy supplies. President Trump’s aggressive posture has already heightened tensions across the Middle East, prompting the U.S. to bolster its military presence, including deploying aircraft carriers, bombers, and missile defense systems. This escalation has raised concerns among Israel and Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, who fear regional instability and retaliatory strikes from Tehran.
🇮🇱 Amid escalating tensions, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee affirmed American support for Israel’s sovereignty in defense decisions. Responding to a question about potential U.S. backing for an Israeli strike on Iran, Huckabee stated, “Israel has every right to do what it needs to do. President Trump respects that no one can tell Israel what to do.” This declaration solidifies U.S. support for Israel’s right to act independently against perceived threats from Iran.
🔹 Iran has openly declared its readiness for potential conflict, with all sectors reportedly preparing for what it describes as “the next stage.” This preparation indicates a shift towards military readiness as talks with the U.S. continue to falter. Meanwhile, U.S. allies in the region are bracing for the impact, reinforcing defense measures and bolstering security protocols to counter potential Iranian aggression.
🟥 Summary: U.S.-Iran nuclear talks are at a critical impasse, with both sides entrenching their positions. The U.S. demands total dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, while Iran insists on its right to enrich uranium. The collapse of talks could lead to military conflict, impacting regional stability and global energy supplies. The U.S. has reinforced its military presence in anticipation of escalated tensions, while affirming Israel’s right to act independently against Iranian threats.
🟫TERRORIST JUSTICE DELAYED, ARSON TERROR, LIGHT RAIL HIT
▪️WHY AREN’T THE OCT. 7 MASS MURDERING TORTURING CHILD KILLING TERRORISTS NOT BEING PROSECUTED? The prosecution of the Nukhba terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre is being delayed, partly due to the failure to advance the special law initiated by MKs Simcha Rotman of Religious Zionism and Yulia Malinovsky of Yisrael Beiteinu (Coalition and Opposition).
The Prime Minister has delayed the law due to concern for the lives of hostages held by Hamas in exchange for their prisoners.
The Attorney General and prosecutors’ office are delaying due to disagreements over whether to prosecute via a special court for genocide or for “classic” crimes such as murder, rape, and similar offenses. The ‘complexity’ of the Oct. 7 events raises difficulties in proving specific acts by the Nukhba terrorists.(Maariv)
▪️JERUSALEM LIGHT RAIL SERVICE HALTED – Due to a vehicle accident: a truck hit power lines shutting down a portion of the line, which shut all service. Repairs in progress (as of 9:10 AM).
▪️PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY PRESIDENT – 4-year president for life, says, at the Russian victory day events: Abbas stressed the need for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, an end to the “war of extermination”, and the introduction of humanitarian aid including food, water, medicine and fuel. In addition, he called for a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, for a cessation of IDF activity in West Bank and for an end to “intrusions” into sites holy to Islam and Christianity in Jerusalem, and rejected the possibility of establishing an American administration in the Gaza Strip.
♦️TERRORISTS SURRENDER, GIVE CRITICAL INFO – Rafah, south Gaza: two Hamas terrorists surrendered and were taken for questioning by the Shin Bet. During their interrogation the terrorists provided significant intelligence on underground military structures, about a kilometer long and located at a depth of about 25 meters. Combat Engineering penetrated and destroyed. Interestingly, although the underground structure was huge, the entrance was a single manhole that looked like and was sized as a sewer entrance.
♦️GAZA FIGHTING – IDF forces are operating in the “Jenaina” neighborhood in the Rafah area (south Gaza), the last focus where fighting is taking place in Rafah. Forces have worked to neutralize hundreds of terrorist infrastructures, located dozens of shafts, and eliminated dozens of terrorists.
🔥ARSON ATTACK – SAMARIA – on Shabbat, Arabs from the village of Al-Mu’ayr set a fire on the slopes of the Malachi Hashalom settlement in Binyamin shortly after Shabbat began. Dozens of residents from the area fought the flames for a long hour until the fire was brought under control. Some of the residents who came to help put out the fire reported being pelted with stones by Arabs. The fires do not “break out”, there are terrorist cells that operate every year, often in fixed patterns of action, consuming thousands of acres of land that were sown with great effort and endangering lives.

Poll: 59% of Palestinians in West Bank Say October 7 Massacre Was ‘Correct Decision’ by Vijeta Uniyal
Nearly 80% of Palestinians oppose dismantling of Hamas as a terrorist fighting force, poll shows.
May 8, 2025 – Most Palestinians in West Bank support mass-murder, rape and kidnapping of innocent Israelis by Hamas-led terrorists on October 7, 2023, a latest poll shows.
“59% of Palestinians polled in the “West Bank” still think that Hamas’ made the “correct decision” to torture, rape, burn alive, murder, and kidnap hundreds of hostages—even including children,” the media watchdog Israel-based Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) observed, citing the poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.
Having learned nothing from the October 7 massacre and its aftermath, nearly 80 percent of all Palestinians were opposed to the dismantling of Hamas as a terrorist fighting force, poll numbers show. “77% of Palestinians overall (and 85% of Palestinians in the PA-controlled “West Bank”!) “oppose the disarmament of Hamas in the Gaza Strip in order to stop the war on Gaza,” the media watchdog added.
What can only be described as mass-schizophrenia or dark pathology within the Palestinian society: while most of the Palestinians supported the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, an overwhelming majority of them denied the role of the Gaza-based terrorist groups in the terror attack, the poll showed. “Strikingly, nearly 90% of Palestinians—including those in Gaza—say they do not believe Hamas fighters committed the atrocities captured in videos from October 7, despite mounting global evidence,” the Israeli news website YnetNews noted.
Palestinian Media Watch (PMW):
According to the poll, nearly 80 percent of Palestinians blamed Israel, or even the U.S., for their current plight in Gaza — not the terrorist group Hamas, Israeli researchers Ephraim D. Tepler and Itamar Marcus observed in the Palestinian Media Watch (PMW):
More than a year and a half after the Hamas-led atrocities of October 7, 59% of Palestinians polled in the “West Bank” still think that Hamas’ made the “correct decision” to torture, rape, burn alive, murder, and kidnap hundreds of hostages—even including children—according to the most respected Palestinian polling agency.
The new poll by Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research asks: “In your view, was Hamas’ decision to launch its offensive against Israel on 7 October a correct or incorrect one?” The polling shows a continuation of the pattern of decreasing support since December 2023, when the first poll was taken after the October 7 atrocities. It found that 82% of “West Bank” Palestinians thought October 7 was a “correct decision.” In March and June 2024, just over 70% of Palestinians there supported it. In September 2024, support dropped to 64%. And now, 59% still say it was a “correct decision.”
The slow but continuous decline in support directly correlates with the worsening military defeat in Gaza. Although the overwhelming majority of Palestinians supported and still support the atrocities, as the cost goes up, fewer think it was the correct decision.
This is the current Palestinian Authority message to its people as well. While the PA’s initial response to the Nazi-like pogrom was immediate, spontaneous celebration, it has now changed its message, arguing that while the October 7 atrocities were “legitimate resistance,” the suffering it caused Palestinians in Gaza has made them unjustified. Abbas’ advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash expressed this explicitly when he stressed five times that October 7 was “legitimate resistance” before saying that “what Hamas carried out in terms of its consequences is illegitimate because it led to catastrophic consequences.”
As the poll shows (see graph above), support is even lower among Gazans, who are the ones suffering directly from the war. Those there who see the decision as “correct” is now at 37%, having dropped from a high of 71%.
Interestingly, a total of 78% of Gazans blame Israel or the US for “the current suffering of Gazans” while only 12% blame Hamas. Coupled with that is the finding that 77% of Palestinians overall (and 85% of Palestinians in the PA-controlled “West Bank”!) “oppose the disarmament of Hamas in the Gaza Strip in order to stop the war on Gaza.”
The poll results should not come as a surprise if one recalls how thousands of Palestinians flocked to greet Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023 as they rode back on their pick-up trucks after massacring and raping Israeli men, women and children — brandishing their weapons and parading their captives.
The macabre display was not limited to Hamas-ruled Gaza; the Palestinian Authority-run West Bank witnessed hideous celebrations on the streets and in schools over the mass-murder of around 1,200 Israelis.
The poll also showed that nearly half of Gaza’s residents would prefer to leave the Hamas-infested enclave. The mainstream media was outraged when President Donald Trump in February suggested relocating large number of Gazans to neighboring Arab states for the post-war reconsecration of the enclave to take place.
“Almost half of Gazans may be willing to apply to Israel to help them leave to other countries, according to a survey released Tuesday,” The Times of Israel reported. “The poll (…) showed that for the first time since the Gaza war was sparked by the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, more Gazans thought Israel rather than Hamas would emerge victorious, though a plurality thought the war would end in a stalemate.”
[Ed.: The effort IINO made to protect the “innocent civilians’ in Gaza was an obscene charade. There are no innocent civilians in Gaza. There never were any. They should have all been eliminated in the first week of war. But it wasn’t a war! It was only an Israeli charade in which Jewish blood meant nothing. Proof? They’re still sending Israel’s youth door to door in Gaza at this very moment – a year and a half later! In the end, the God of Israel will extract their punishment! My estimate is that will take place within the next three years, but I’m often wrong about everything, thank God…]
