‼️ Defense Minister Israel Katz has officially approved the IDF’s new Gaza City offensive, codenamed “Gideon’s Chariots B.” The plan, presented by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and senior officers, follows an earlier stage of the operation in which Israeli forces seized 75% of Gaza’s territory to pressure Hamas toward a hostage exchange.
🔹 Military Preparations: The offensive will involve five IDF divisions, made up of 12 brigade-level teams with infantry, armored, artillery, and engineering forces. Two additional brigades from the Gaza Division will join, bringing the total to 14 brigades.
Operations have already begun on Gaza City’s outskirts. The Nahal Infantry Brigade and 7th Armored Brigade are active in the Zeitoun neighborhood, while the Givati Brigade launched a push in Kafr Jabalia to the north.
💰 Humanitarian Measures: With an estimated one million civilians expected to be displaced from Gaza City, Israel is preparing humanitarian infrastructure in the south. Plans include:
– Additional aid distribution sites
– At least two new field hospitals
Reopening the European Hospital in Khan Younis, previously shut after an IDF raid uncovered a Hamas tunnel beneath it
A security official confirmed: “Talks have begun with international organizations to recruit them to establish additional field hospitals in the south, and there is a positive response to this.” The UN is also working on reopening the European Hospital as part of the expanded medical response.
⚔ Phased Offensive Strategy: The campaign will unfold in several stages:
1. Evacuation warnings for civilians.
2. Encirclement of Gaza City by IDF forces.
3. Full ground entry, targeting neighborhoods still harboring Hamas infrastructure.
🇮🇱 Reservist Mobilization: The IDF is issuing 60,000 call-up orders in waves:
– First wave: 40,000–50,000 soldiers reporting on September 2
– Second wave: November–December 2025
– Third wave: February–March 2026 [Emphasis added]
In addition, many reservists currently on duty will see their service extended by 30–40 days. Altogether, up to 130,000 reservists will be active at one time. Not all will fight in Gaza City—some will replace regular forces on other fronts or serve in intelligence, logistics, and support roles.
🦸♂️ In an interview with Jewish journalist Mark Levin, President Trump expressed strong admiration for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump stated: “Netanyahu is a war hero… I guess I am too…”

[Ed.: Does this mean that they do not expect to have ‘taken over Gaza’ by February-March of 2026? WTF!

ISRAEL TO CALL UP 60,000 RESERVISTS FOR GAZA CITY OFFENSIVE: Israel is preparing a major expansion of its forces. Security sources confirmed that 60,000 additional reservists will begin receiving call-up orders tomorrow, pending final approval from Defense Minister Israel Katz.
The mobilization is aimed at the planned offensive in Gaza City. However, the deployment will not be immediate—reservists will have at least two weeks before reporting for duty, meaning the earliest arrivals are expected at the start of September.
This new draft adds to the tens of thousands already serving. With the expansion, the Israel Defense Forces will have roughly 130,000 reservists on active call, alongside about 70,000 already in service. Not all of those called up will be sent to Gaza City; many will take positions on other fronts to free up standing army units for the operation.
🔹 HISTORIC SYRIA–ISRAEL CONTACT IN PARIS AFTER 25 YEARS: In a surprising development, Syria’s state news agency confirmed that Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani met Israeli Minister Ron Dermer in Paris on Tuesday. This marks the first acknowledged contact between the two nations in over 25 years.
The U.S. mediated the meeting, which focused on preventing escalation, respecting Syria’s internal affairs, supporting regional stability, monitoring the ceasefire in the As-Suwayda province, and reviving the 1974 separation of forces agreement.
⭕ MISSILE FIRE AND CLASHES REPORTED BETWEEN SYRIA AND LEBANON: Reports are emerging of missile launches from Syrian territory toward Lebanon, sparking clashes between the two sides. Details remain limited, but tensions on this front appear to be escalating alongside diplomatic efforts elsewhere.

🚨 Mass crossings along the Seam Line: “the fence is open, hundreds cross daily”
August 19, 2025 Jewish Breaking News
N12 published new footage today showing dozens of illegal Arab entrants climbing the Judea & Samaria separation barrier and dispersing deep inside Israel with little interference. Residents along the seam say it’s a daily, round-the-clock flow: “The border is open… tomorrow it could be terrorists, not workers,” one warned, noting major cities are ~20 minutes away.
Clips also show groups hiding in bushes and running past security vehicles. Locals accuse authorities of relying on volunteer security coordinators to plug gaps. The IDF responded that it conducts daily brigade operations, uses tech measures, and—after Oct. 7—tightened rules of engagement, authorizing fire under the suspect-arrest procedure when required.

Apparently, Bill Maher looked carefully into what’s going on with the universal cries of “genocide” by Israel and has turned himself around 180 degrees. His astute commentary will be seen be many more than his 3 million Youtube subscribers. Millions of people will now begin to question the phony, fake, and false narrative that virtually EVERYONE has bought in to! Now, I can begin the process of turning myself around 180 degrees about Bill Maher! Gudonem.]
🕑 Monday, August 18, 2025 — 7:00 PM Israel Realtime
🎗️ Hamas official Basem Naim announced that the group has accepted the latest ceasefire proposal. Al Jazeera also reported Hamas’s agreement, stating, “Hamas accepted the proposed deal.” Yet, the group has not clarified the exact terms. Past experience shows that Hamas’s version of an “agreement” often differs greatly from what was originally proposed, raising doubts about the reliability of their response.
According to a Palestinian source cited by Al-Mayadeen, the proposal outlines several key points:
– Military withdrawal: A 1,000-meter pullback of IDF forces in the north and east of Gaza, except for Shuja’iyya and Beit Lahia.
– Hostage-prisoner exchange: Hamas is releasing 10 living hostages in exchange for 140 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and 60 others sentenced to more than 15 years.
– Additional prisoner releases: All minor detainees and female prisoners would also be freed under the deal.
– Bodies returned: For every deceased hostage, 10 bodies of terrorists would be transferred to Hamas, though the total number has not been specified.
– Mapping demands: Hamas is pressing for changes to IDF positioning maps inside Gaza.
– Humanitarian aid: Fuel, water, electricity, hospital rehabilitation, and debris-clearing equipment would flow into Gaza once the agreement takes effect. The aid would be coordinated by the UN and the Red Crescent.
Despite Hamas’s announcement, i24NEWS reports that their response has not yet been formally presented to Israel, leaving the proposal’s actual status uncertain.
“Through pressure on Hamas to accept, Qatari and Egyptian mediators secured a breakthrough that preserves 98% of the Witkoff proposal, which the Israeli side had previously agreed to,” Fox News is told by a Diplomat briefed on the talks.
🔸️Hamas has agreed to discuss a deal to release hostages in exchange for its prisoners, according to Defense Minister Israel Katz. He explained that this sudden shift comes only because Hamas fears Israel is preparing to launch a full-scale operation to capture Gaza City.
During a visit to the Gaza Division with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Katz stressed that the fall of Gaza City would mark Hamas’s defeat. He described the city as Hamas’s central hub—its political leadership, military command, and core infrastructure are all concentrated there.
“For weeks, Hamas rejected any talks, even when approached by Turkey and Qatar,” Katz said. “Suddenly, it is on the table. The reason is clear: only Hamas’s fear that we seriously intend to conquer Gaza City makes it willing to discuss.”
🔸️ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to reports that Hamas may agree to a partial hostage-for-prisoner exchange and temporary ceasefire. “I, like you, hear the reports in the media, and from them you can gather one thing – Hamas is under atomic pressure,” he said. Netanyahu confirmed that he spoke with the defense minister and IDF chief of staff about Israel’s ongoing plans for Gaza City, noting that Hamas’s official response has already been received through mediators.
🎗️ The Hostage Families’ Hope Forum strongly condemned the idea of a partial deal, calling it a betrayal: “There is no nicer way to say it – it is a disgrace. For months Hamas has deceived us and dragged out time. The State of Israel must not surrender to them again.” The forum accused Netanyahu of weakness and urged him to tell the nation he will reject such an agreement, stressing that even the U.S. President understands what must be done while Israel’s leadership hesitates.
🇺🇸 President Trump reinforced his position with a direct message: “We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!! The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be. Remember, I was the one who negotiated and got hundreds of hostages freed and released into Israel (and America!). I was the one who ended 6 wars, in just 6 months. I was the one who OBLITERATED Iran’s Nuclear facilities. Play to WIN, or don’t play at all!”
⚔ National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also warned against compromise. “If Netanyahu surrenders to Hamas and stops the war, it will be a tragedy for generations and a huge missed opportunity,” he said. Ben-Gvir reminded that Netanyahu ignored President Trump’s ultimatum demanding Hamas release all hostages or face severe consequences. “We now have an opportunity to defeat Hamas. You have no mandate to go for a partial deal and not defeat Hamas,” he declared.

August 17, 2025 Pulse of Israel
While a small, morally confused minority of Israelis protest in the streets—unknowingly doing Hamas’s bidding under the false banner of helping the hostages—the Druze are showing far greater wisdom and clarity. They’re grounded in reality and aligned with truth, proudly standing with Israel, not against it.
This is absolutely incredible and telling. These are Syrian Druze brothers and sisters, yet they’re not looking to Jolani, not to Turkey, not to Iran, not to Hezbollah, not to Saudi Arabia, not even to the UN the Arab League or America.
They’re looking to Israel.
Why? Because they know the truth. The Jewish state of Israel is the moral force in the region.
The only hope for freedom, stability, and peace in a collapsing Middle East.
Make no mistake: sooner or later, Israel will retake all of Southern Syria, and make it Northern Israel as it’s the Biblical tribal lands of Menashe.
Not because of politics, but because of reality.
God gave us this land thousands of years ago, not just spiritually, but strategically.
Too many Jews, and our leaders, may not have fully understood why, but now it is clear to all who actually see and internalize reality clearly.
The chaos of Syria, the genocidal threat of Shia Iran, the growing threat of Sunni Turkey, the financial support of terror from all sides from Qatar, the instability on our northern border… it’s all proving what we already knew:
That land is ours, not just by divine promise, but by the undeniable logic of history and security.
And when our Druze neighbors in Syria wave the Israeli flag and cry out for us it’s not just a protest.
It’s a prophecy.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!

🎗️ Prime Minister: Only a Comprehensive Hostage Deal: The Prime Minister’s Office has issued its clearest statement yet: Israel will only agree to a single-phase, all-inclusive deal for the release of all hostages. The terms require Hamas to disarm, the Gaza Strip to be fully demilitarized, Israeli security control to be established, and a new governing body—neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority—to take charge while living in peace with Israel. Officials stressed that “there is no return to the Witkoff deal,” firmly rejecting Hamas’s push for partial agreements.
⚔ IDF Moves Closer to Gaza City Offensive: IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir will arrive at the Southern Command tomorrow to review final plans for capturing Gaza City. The framework was approved last week and is being refined tonight. Once endorsed, Zamir will present the plan to Defense Minister Israel Katz. Government directives already call for the full capture of Gaza City, an operation expected to displace nearly one million Gaza’s currently inside. Preparations include expanding operations in Zeitoun on the city’s outskirts and a likely call-up of reservists to support the large-scale offensive.
⭕ Hamas Guerrilla Squads Embedded in High-Rises: Military intelligence suggests Hamas has positioned multiple guerrilla units across Gaza City, with high-rise buildings serving as lookout points and sniper nests. These fortified positions could complicate the IDF’s advance and pose heightened risks for urban combat.
💰 Humanitarian Measures for Civilians in Southern Gaza: To support civilians fleeing combat zones, Israel will begin allowing tents and shelter equipment into southern Gaza starting tomorrow. An IDF spokesperson explained in Arabic that this effort, coordinated with political leadership, is intended to help evacuating families relocate safely from northern Gaza, including Gaza City, ahead of the ground offensive.
🎗️ On the eve of a nationwide strike called by families of hostages, thousands gathered in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square Saturday night, demanding immediate action for a swap deal—Hamas is releasing the hostages in exchange for their prisoners. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum urged Israelis to take to the streets, warning: “We are close to the point of no return. Our loved ones have no time. Join us tonight—and tomorrow, Israel stops.”
This mass rally comes just one day before the planned shutdown and two days after the IDF chief approved a sweeping operational plan to fully take control of Gaza City. The decision signals preparations for one of the largest operations since the October 7 massacre, while diplomatic channels simultaneously report signs of progress in negotiations.
The family of Bipin Joshi, a 24-year-old Nepali abducted from Kibbutz Alumim on October 7, also joined the protest. His mother and sister arrived in Israel earlier this week, months after officials expressed fears for his life. Joshi reportedly resisted during the Hamas assault, even throwing a grenade back at attackers before being captured.

According to COGAT, the United Nations and other international groups will bring the shipments through the Kerem Shalom crossing after Israeli security screening. The decision, made under instructions from Israel’s political leadership, is part of the IDF’s preparations to guide civilians out of active fighting zones for their safety.
Officials say the army has been told to ready an operation to seize Gaza City, where roughly a million people are currently sheltering, and to direct them toward southern Gaza. Israel resumed humanitarian deliveries on May 19 after a suspension that began March 2, but shelter materials have not been included until now.

[Ed.: PARADOX: The modern state of IINO thinks that the way to go to war with the enemy is to shelter and feed them! This is a case of ‘aiding and abetting the enemy’ as a war strategy!
The Winograd Commission’s unheeded hostage lessons Ruthie Blum
Had its conclusions been implemented, the current situation might have unfolded differently. Protesters certainly wouldn’t be staging a strike.
Aug. 17, 2025 JNS
Anyone who thinks that Sunday’s national strike is anything other than a mass tantrum is delusional. It certainly isn’t helping the hostages. In fact, such displays of malaise and hysteria have been serving to encourage Hamas since before it launched its horrific invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
Today, on the heels of the Cabinet decision to take over the last terrorist strongholds in Gaza—and in light of reports that Hamas might be willing to renegotiate the ceasefire proposal put forth by U.S. special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff—the attempt by the protest movement to shut down the economy is worse than counter-productive.
Indeed, the only effect such a strike can have is to convince Hamas that its intransigence works to cause a societal schism in the state it aims to annihilate. It knows that what it lacks in battlefield prowess against the Israel Defense Forces, it makes up for in the ability to play on Jewish heartstrings.
None of this is relevant to those who consider Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be a greater threat to Israeli security than any external enemy. These people are especially buoyed by the prospect of an early election. And their use of the hostages for political gain is as transparent as it is ugly.
Predictably, these are the same people who’ve been insisting that a state commission of inquiry be established to examine every aspect of the Oct. 7 attacks and attribute blame where it’s due. The government and its supporters want a different kind of commission—one that’s not tainted by deep-state bias, particularly where the role of the courts in the debacle is concerned.
So, the argument between left and right isn’t about the need for a comprehensive investigation, but rather on the makeup of the committee and the identity of its chairperson.
Setting aside the specifics of the controversy, pundit Kalman Libeskind raised a broader question in his column on Friday in the Hebrew daily Ma’ariv: “To what extent do we take the conclusions of such committees seriously, and how much interest and will do we really have to change our ways as a result of their recommendations?”
To answer his own rhetorical query—in the negative, of course—Libeskind pointed to the “commission of inquiry into the events of military engagement in Lebanon 2006.” Known familiarly as the Winograd Commission, since it was headed by retired justice Eliyahu Winograd, it researched and drew lessons from the Second Lebanon War. It first convened on Sept. 18, 2006 and submitted its final report to then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and then-Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Jan. 30, 2008.
Libeskind focused on Chapter 15 of the 600-page report, titled “Kidnapping as a Strategic Threat.” Since much of his piece is “inside baseball,” a review of the period in question is in order.
A Hezbollah ambush on an IDF patrol along the Lebanon border precipitated the 34-day war. In the incident, which took place on July 12, 2006, three soldiers were killed and two others—Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev—were taken hostage. It was assumed that both had been seriously wounded.
It wasn’t until 2008, when their bodies were returned to Israel in exchange for Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar, four Hezbollah terrorists and the remains of some 200 additional Lebanese and Palestinian terrorists that they were officially pronounced dead.
Meanwhile, less than three weeks before the abduction of Goldwasser and Regev, IDF soldier Gilad Shalit was captured by Hamas terrorists in a raid via a tunnel next to Israel’s southern border. He was held by Hamas for more than five years—from June 25, 2006 to Oct. 18, 2011—and was freed in a ransom deal that involved the release of 1,027 terrorists serving life sentences in Israeli prisons.
One of those many monsters was Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the Oct. 7 attacks, who was thankfully killed by IDF troops in Gaza on Oct. 16, 2024. It bears repeating, especially in this context, that part of his well-planned operation was the kidnapping of 251 Israelis and foreign nationals.
Some were murdered on the fateful day and dragged into Gaza. Others were killed during their captivity. Twenty of the 50 who remain—after most were either rescued or released in ceasefire deals—are still alive, starved and tortured by their sadistic captors.
Their plight pains every Israeli. How to save the living and retrieve the dead for burial, however, has become the source of an ideological battle between opposing camps.
The left is calling for a complete capitulation to Hamas as the only way to rescue them. The right is campaigning for total victory over the savages as the sole solution to the current disaster and for the sake of the future.
This is the very subject of the section of the Winograd report that Libeskind discussed in his piece. The following excerpts from the document are worth repeating to the irresponsible crowds chanting, halting commerce and blocking roads:
• “It is clear that kidnapping in our region is not only a possible event, but a central element in the operational planning of some of our enemies. This is against the background of the fact—already established as precedent—of prisoner-release deals, in which negotiations drag on for many months under enormous public pressure surrounding the families’ anguish. In these deals, dozens or hundreds of people imprisoned in Israel are released to secure the release of each abducted or captured Israeli soldier or civilian, alive or dead. As a result, the practical and psychological ‘profit’ of a successful kidnapping event for our enemies may be significantly greater than the ‘profit’ from another type of attack, even if that attack causes many casualties. This situation creates an inherent incentive for the enemy—created by Israel’s own policy—to attempt kidnappings.”
• “We do not belittle the importance of soldiers and their families—or indeed all Israelis and their families—knowing that Israel stands behind them. Nevertheless, it is equally clear that if the captives and their families know this, so too do their abductors. It is self-evident that the more our vulnerability is perceived as greater, and the more importance we ourselves ascribe to the return of captives—the higher the ‘price’ demanded, and ultimately paid, for their return. To the same degree, the incentive to carry out further kidnappings increases. Therefore, the argument that almost everything must be done in order to return captives, despite its emotional force, cannot withstand scrutiny. If we act to release captives in a way that significantly increases the likelihood that others will be killed or kidnapped, then the message we are sending is not one of immense respect for the life of every soldier and civilian, but of emotional conduct that necessarily creates unnecessary risks to the lives and security of soldiers and civilians.”
These conclusions were published by a committee of the sort that the protesters keep harping about. Ironically, had the above message been heeded in the 17 years since it was conveyed, the current situation might have unfolded differently.

Israeli hostage families launch ‘nation-wide shutdown’
From protests at symbolic 6:29 a.m. to evening rallies in Tel Aviv’s “Hostage Square,” millions of Israelis are expected to participate in the largest coordinated demonstration since the war began.
Aug. 17, 2025 Israel Hayom
Millions of Israelis were expected to participate in a nationwide strike on Sunday for the return of the remaining 50 hostages being held in the Gaza Strip, who have endured 681 days in appalling conditions. Major corporations, institutions, businesses and government authorities have confirmed they will permit employees to participate.
Last week, the Histadrut labor federation ruled out declaring backing a general strike.
“Unfortunately, and although my heart is bursting with anger, it would have no practical result,” said Histadrut chairman Arnon Bar-David.
“If I knew that a strike—not just for one day, but longer—would end the matter, stop the war and bring back the hostages, I would go for it with full force,” he said following a meeting with those behind the initiative.
During a 7:10 a.m. press conference on Sunday, hostages’ families appealed for public participation in street demonstrations and work stoppages.
Anat Angrest, whose son Matan is being held in Gaza, declared, “Today, an entire nation pressed the emergency brake. Today we stop everything to save the lives of 50 hostages and soldiers. The State of Israel stops today, so that every soldier knows that an entire nation stands behind him in times of trouble.”
Lishi Miran Levia, whose husband, Omri Miran, is a captive, said, “We promise Omri, Nimrod and Matan, to all the hostages and their families, to the bereaved families who stood by our side, to the parents of soldiers, to all the public that supports us, that this day is only the beginning. We draw strength from public support, and intend from here to escalate and intensify the struggle, until all the hostages are home. We have no choice.”
Not all hostages’ families support the strike. Tzvika Mor, the father of hostage Eitan Mor, who founded a separate hostages group, the Tikva Forum, told Ynet:
“We are opposed, of course. It has nothing to do with the hostages. This is a day of consolidation for the left,” he said. “The left’s protests are directed against the citizens of Israel and not against our enemies. There is no connection to the abductees.”
Iris Haim, whose son Yotam escaped captivity only to be killed in a case of mistaken identity by IDF soldiers in December 2023, also came out against the strike.
In a long Facebook post on Saturday evening, she wrote, “Shutting down the economy tomorrow, disrupting the already abnormal course of life, is a mistake in my opinion for several reasons.”
While everyone wants the hostages home, the strike will “achieve nothing” except to make those who participated in it feel good about themselves, she said.
It can only lead the country toward “complete chaos” and encourage the terrorist group Hamas, which sees that it’s succeeding in shutting down the Israeli economy. “It’s another small victory for Hamas, ” she said.
“I sympathize, I want, I am ready to make far-reaching concessions politically to stop the war and return the hostages if this is on the agenda. But I oppose the shutdown of the economy. lt has difficult implications for us. It’s another step leading to anarchy from which there will be no exit,” Haim said.
The strike began at 6:45 a.m. with an enormous display at “Hostage Square” in Tel Aviv, where a massive Israeli flag featuring photographs of the hostages was unfurled.
Demonstration organizers report that 400 protest focal points have been established nationwide.
Police issued preparatory statements at 6:01 a.m. emphasizing that “freedom of protest does not mean freedom to ignite fires, block main roads or harm the freedom of movement of many.”
Thousands of police officers will maintain positions at demonstration sites throughout Sunday.
Demonstrations are planned at corporate facilities and organizational headquarters, culminating in a main gathering at “Hostage Square.”
“Millions of Israeli citizens will cry out loudly today, with their feet, at intersections, in the square, on social networks and everywhere demanding ‘Bring them back now,’” said the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.
During the shutdown, families plan to announce subsequent phases in their campaign for complete hostage repatriation.
The October Council, composed of hostage families and bereaved families who spearhead efforts to establish a state commission of inquiry into Oct. 7, initiated Sunday’s events. The “Free in Our Land” campaign, which coordinates protest organizations, cautioned drivers about blockages causing delays on major highways.
The day’s events are set to climax at 8 p.m. at “Hostage Square,” featuring captivity survivors, hostages’ families and others. Throughout Sunday, companies, organizations and southern Israeli communities will hold activities and demonstrations. The events commenced at 6:29 a.m., marking the precise time of the Hamas-led invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
Beginning at 9 a.m., offices and business owners will organize hourly protest shifts at “Hostage Square.” Medical personnel will march to protest the deteriorating health of the hostages still held in the Gaza Strip.
Primary demonstration centers include Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa.
Tel Aviv
Activities in Tel Aviv began at 8 a.m. with a march from Antin Square at Tel Aviv University and demonstrations at the Elephant Junction, continuing until 9:30 a.m.
A concurrent demonstration at the intersection of Rokach and Namir streets, also in north Tel Aviv, lasted until 10:30 a.m., while a 9 a.m. rally was held at Tel Aviv City Hall Square, followed by the White Coat March from the Israeli Medical Association headquarters to “Hostage Square.”
At 10:40 a.m., motorized convoys traversed Tel Aviv neighborhoods, and between noon and 2 p.m., a central demonstration is planned at the intersection of Kaplan Street and Begin Road.
Academic community rallies are to begin at 5 p.m. at “Hostages Square,” with a 7 p.m. march departing from the Tel Aviv–Savidor Center railway station toward the square. The main “Israel Stops” event is to begin at “Hostage Square” at 8 p.m.
Haifa
Activities in Haifa began at 7:30 a.m. at Sefer Square, continuing until 9 a.m., with midday mall protests at the Grand Canyon shopping center. Demonstrations are planned to resume at 4 p.m. at Ziv Square, with protesters returning to Sefer Square between 5 and 7 p.m.
Jerusalem
Jerusalem features numerous protest locations, with the demonstrations scheduled for 7:10-10:15 a.m., including areas near the President’s Residence, Mitzpeh Valley and the Oranim Junction. A 9:30 a.m. march departed from Givat Ram.
Beersheva
Beersheva demonstrations took place at the Government Quarter between 9 and 11 a.m. and were set to be held opposite the IDF Southern Command headquarters between 4 and 6 p.m.
Organizers expect approximately 200 chartered buses to arrive at “Hostage Square” on Sunday, with six motorized protest convoys departing at 7:30 a.m. from various locations, including Dor Alon gas and rest stations on Highway 6, Latrun and Tel Aviv.

Toronto film festival backtracks after pulling documentary on Oct. 7
“I want to be clear: Claims that the film was rejected due to censorship are unequivocally false,” TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey said.
Aug. 14, 2025 JNS
After removing from its lineup earlier this week a documentary about the Hamas-led terrorist attack on Oct. 7, 2023, the Toronto International Film Festival appeared to retreat on Thursday after blowback over its decision, denying that it had censored the film.
“I want to be clear: Claims that the film was rejected due to censorship are unequivocally false,” TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey said in a post to X.
“I remain committed to working with the filmmaker to meet TIFF’s screening requirements to allow the film to be screened at this year’s festival. I have asked our legal team to work with the filmmaker on considering all options available,” he continued.
A TIFF spokesman told Deadline, an online Hollywood news site, on Tuesday: “The invitation for the Canadian documentary film ‘The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue’ was withdrawn by TIFF because general requirements for inclusion in the festival, and conditions that were requested when the film was initially invited, were not met, including legal clearance of all footage.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar criticized and satirized the decision, writing on X on Wednesday that it was made because “there was no ‘legal clearance’ from Hamas for their GoPro massacre videos.”
The festival, he added, “would have asked Hitler or Goebbels for copyright on Auschwitz footage,” adding, “Of course, the festival is about to screen five Palestinian films. This vicious and sickening decision must be canceled immediately!”
The movie, directed by Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich, focuses on Israel Defense Forces Maj. Gen. (res.) Noam Tibon, who saved his family, including his two granddaughters, from the Hamas massacre.

Tibon also extracted survivors of the Supernova music festival attack and rescued wounded soldiers during his mission to save his family.
Sources told Deadline that TIFF pulled the film also due to the risk of anti-Israel protests at the festival, which is scheduled for Sept. 4-14.
The filmmakers behind “The Road Between Us” told Deadline: “We are shocked and saddened that a venerable film festival has defied its mission and censored its own programming by refusing this film.
“Film is an art form that stimulates debate from every perspective that can both entertain us and make us uncomfortable,” they said. “A film festival lays out the feast and the audience decides what they will or won’t see. We are not political filmmakers, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrr_PAkCGwMnor are we activists.
“We are storytellers. We remain defiant, we will release the film, and we invite audiences, broadcasters and streamers to make up their own mind, once they have seen it,” the filmmakers’ vowed.
The filmmakers were reportedly asked to confirm that all footage used in the documentary was legally cleared, including from Hamas body cams, and to provide additional security during the screening.
According to the spokesperson, the conditions were meant to protect the festival and to allow it to “manage and mitigate anticipated and known risks around the screening of a film about highly sensitive subject matter, including potential threat of significant disruption.
“As per our terms and conditions for participation in the festival, TIFF may disqualify from participation in the festival any film that TIFF determines in its sole and absolute discretion would not be in TIFF’s best interest to include in the festival,” the statement emphasized.
‘Experiences deserve to be told and heard’
Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center said it was deeply disappointed by the decision and the festival’s failure to uphold its stated mandate of presenting films that “enrich understanding and foster empathy,” to “foster an environment of constructive and respectful dialogue” and to defend “artistic freedom.”
Instead, it has capitulated to extremists determined to silence Jewish voices and experiences, said FSWC.
“This is an unfathomable and disturbing action, and the latest in the ongoing ‘cancel culture’ campaign in which Jews often find themselves in the crosshairs,” said FSWC President and CEO Michael Levitt. “TIFF has allowed political bias and intimidation to dictate its programming.”
On Oct. 7, 2023, some 6,000 Hamas-led terrorists invaded Israel from Gaza, murdering around 1,200 people, wounding thousands of others, and abducting another 251 and dragging them into Gaza, where 20 are still held (Hamas also holds the remains of 30 more).
In response, Israel launched an ongoing military campaign aimed at dismantling Hamas and recovering the hostages.

He says to think well about this point and just stop with the street protests already! I know and love this guy!]
🚨 BREAKING: Palestinians from Gaza Enter U.S. Under Trump Administration Despite Official Ban 🚨
August 16, 2025 Jewish Breaking News
In a development raising serious national security questions, video footage shows Palestinians—claiming to be refugees from Gaza—arriving in the United States this month through San Francisco and Houston, Texas. Their travel was reportedly facilitated by an organization called “Heal Palestine”, despite the Trump administration’s stated policy against accepting Palestinian refugees.
The videos—obtained by Loomer Unleashed—depict Palestinian families disembarking from flights, some waving Palestinian flags, chanting pro-Hamas slogans, and even performing the “Hamas terror whistle” inside Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Another clip shows arrivals at San Francisco International Airport on August 6, 2025, via a Qatar Airways flight.
This has ignited a firestorm of questions:
•How did individuals from a Hamas-controlled territory obtain U.S. visas?
•Did the State Department under Marco Rubio’s leadership approve this?
•Which officials signed off on visas for people from a recognized terror hot zone?
•Why are governors Gavin Newsom and Greg Abbott allowing Palestinian arrivals in California and Texas?
Critics point out that 95% of Gazans voted for Hamas in the last election, accusing U.S. officials of enabling a security breach by permitting entry from a region synonymous with terrorism.

KAPO TRAITORS: UJA Donates $1 Million to Gaza By Pamela Geller
August 15, 2025 – Sick, pathetic, disgraceful.
If you are confused by how the American diaspora are so lost, look no further than the craven quisling Jewish leadership that has failed the Jewish people so completely.
These are the same left-wing Jewicidals that canceled my talks because Hamas-CAIR demanded it.
UJA announced they are “bringing comfort” by sending aid to Gaza. Yes, comfort to the enemy.
DEFUND UJA.
UJA donates $1 million to Gaza: Insanity or worse?
How nice to pat yourself on the back for your aid to the implacable enemies who are starving Jewish hostages, thereby joining the ranks of useful Jewish idiots in every generation.
By: Ronn Torossian, Israel National News, Aug 14, 2025:
UJA-Federation of New York has a long-standing policy of avoiding funding projects located in Judea and Samaria, beyond the 1967 borders, a policy which has been in place for years, keeping their grants and support within areas recognized as part of Israel before the Six-Day War, actually just the armistice lines set at the end of Israel’s War of Independence. (Not by all – the Nukhbas called their Gaza envelope victims “settlers”.)
The policy is meant to steer clear of involvement in Israeli communities over the ‘Green Line’, a position well at odds with the Israeli government and the majority of the world’s Jews, in addition to the half million Jews who live there.
Now, the UJA has broken that policy with a very generous 1 million dollar gift to Gaza! In an epic announcement, UJA announced they are “bringing comfort” by sending aid to Gaza. They speak of “shared humanity,” quoting scripture, ignoring the horrors of October 7th and the gleeful participation of thousands of “civilian” Gazans. And also who will undoubtedly get their hands on that money.
For decades, UJA hasn’t funded beyond the 1967 borders. They wouldn’t fund a playground in Judea or Samaria for Jewish children. Yet suddenly, for the first time, they cross the Green Line — not to support Jews in our historic homeland — but to hand over $1 million to the very people who cheered the October 7 massacre and a land where the people elected, support – and are – Hamas.
This is a despicable act by American Diaspora Jews of whom it can only be said seem today to be enemies of the Jewish state. When representatives of the Israeli government appear before this body and ask them to speak out against a 2-state solution or for voluntary migration of Gazans, they are silent, but to fund Gaza and help free up Hamas resources for rockets, tunnels, and murder that they can do. The UJA, with nary a mainstream Orthodox or haredi Jew let alone a Sephardic leader among them live a life of ignorance, as they fund the very people that kill us, torture us, burn our babies, kidnap us, starve our hostages, and celebrate in the streets when we die.
Not one Gazan gave information about where the hostages are being held, even when the Israeli government offered $5 million for information on each one. People braved the Nazis to save Jews. Not the Gazans. Not one “righteous Gentile” among them.
Lenin called those who work against their own people’s best interests in support of their enemies “useful idiots” and UJA-NY is the leaders of a Jewish community which sees pro-‘Palestine’ politician Zohran Mamdani with a 17-point lead among Jewish voters of the UJA ilk in the upcoming New York City mayoral race, a reflection of the long term leadership of uber-liberal groups like UJA-Federation and the ADL, both of which have leaders actively campaigning for the Free Palestine politician.
Zionist leader Berl Katznelson once asked, “Is there another People on Earth so emotionally twisted that they consider everything their nation does despicable and hateful, while every murder, rape, robbery committed by their enemies fills their hearts with admiration and awe?” Without question, these Jews who sympathize with our enemies hold responsibility for the position we today find ourselves in.
Kenneth Levin, a Harvard psychiatrist, says that Jewish self-hatred is in part a result of Stockholm syndrome, where “population segments under chronic siege commonly embrace the indictments of their besiegers however bigoted and outrageous.” Throughout history, these Jewish lemmings have been influenced by a perversion of Judaism which says that universal social justice is the core Jewish mission. These sick Jews miss the point that if they and other Jewish enemies succeed in their collaboration, Israel won’t be a nation – and can’t be a “light unto the nations”.
As the UJA-Federation sends $1 Million to our enemies in Gaza, the people of Israel heed the words of Zeev Jabotinsky, “We were not created in order to teach morals and manners to our enemies.” As it says in the Talmud “Israel are the sons and daughters of Kings,” – We, the Jewish people, are sons and daughters of the first king and queen, Abraham and Sarah.
These self-hating Jews have forgotten that Jews are the chosen people and descend from royalty – and we will continue to pray and work for the State of Israel and Jewish people. Liberal progressive diaspora Jews are, by their actions, de facto enemies of the State of Israel.
