Symbol of Jewish Disunity Found
by Pesach Benson
The Altalena, the ship at the center of one of the most divisive episodes in Israel’s early history, has been located on the Mediterranean seabed 78 years after it sank off Israel’s coast. The Altalena arrived off Israel’s coast in June 1948 carrying immigrants, Irgun fighters, weapons, and military equipment. The Irgun was a Jewish underground organization led by future prime minister Menachem Begin.
Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, seeking to establish a single national military under (Socialist) government control, ordered the weapons aboard the ship transferred to the newly formed Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
When the Irgun refused, fighting broke out first at Kfar Vitkin and later near Tel Aviv. An IDF unit commanded by Yitzhak Rabin confronted Irgun forces, and the ship was shelled.
Seeking to prevent the confrontation from escalating into civil war, Begin ordered his men not to retaliate. (Leftist and other self-hating Jews did not learn the lesson since then, and still continue undermining the 2,000 year old aspiration of the Jewish people to re-claim and re-unite the Jewish home-land.)
Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak
Western governments, hundreds of international NGOs, the UN (‘Ugly Nazi’), world media, and common ‘useful idiots’ have been extremely concerned about lives and condition of the ‘innocent civilians’ in Gaza. However, they do not demand that Egypt opens its border and let civilians in Gazans leave the danger of the war zone. Millions left Sudan, Ethiopia and many other ‘hot spots’ around the world, but not Gaza – it is ‘very special’! Hamas is using civilians as a ‘human shield’, but world blames Israel for their death. ‘THEY’, International anti-Semites, exploit civilian casualties in propaganda war against.
Zionism is the Jewish
National Independence Movement.
Hezbollah Rejects Israel-Lebanon Deal Again
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem again rejected a deal struck between Israel and Lebanon and said his Iran-backed terrorist group refused to “surrender” nearly six months after war erupted with Israel. Lebanon and Israel signed a framework deal that calls for the disarmament of Hezbollah, a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and the deployment of the Lebanese army to the region. (We have to remember that Hezbollah attacked Israel, and it must be disarmed by the Lebanese government, which is not willing nor capable of disarming Hezbollah.)
Alert Level Raised in Judea and Samaria
The military apprehended more than 200 wanted Palestinians in Judea and Samaria in late July. Also in July, two Israelis were killed and six wounded in a terrorist shooting attack near Havat Gilad in Samaria after a group of Israelis hiking in the area. The alert level raised in Judea and Samaria ahead of the Jewish holidays. “Today, many of our brothers and sisters around the world understand: this is our land,” Benjamin Netanyahu told Judea and Samaria leaders. IDF drone strike kills 3 terrorists in Jenin, including a Hamas terrorist who planned attacks.
Hamas Weapons Sites in Mosques Targeted
The IDF launches series of strikes targeting five Hamas weapon storage facilities and a launch site inside mosques and alongside humanitarian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip. The military stressed that before all the strikes, advance warnings were issued to the population in order to mitigate harm to civilians. Additional precautions included the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance. (And Jew-haters are still calling it ‘genocide’. Still no condemnation of Hamas by the ‘Ugly Nazi’ for using civilians as ‘human shields’. Muslims terrorists routinely hide arms in mosques].
Troops Supported Demolition of Memorials
Soldiers blasted Bennett over demolition of Madma memorial to terrorists. “It’s unbelievable audacity for Bennett to speak on our behalf. We were very happy that Succot smashed the memorial, although they would have preferred to do it themselves.”
Israeli security forces moved to take control of an UNRWA compound in Kafr Aqab in northern Jerusalem, beginning work to remove the United Nations agency from the site and replace it with a municipal education and community complex serving local Arab residents. “The State of Israel will not allow an organization whose employees were involved in terrorism and in the October 7 massacre to operate in its territory, and will act against it with every tool at its disposal,” Netanyahu said.
Two terrorists convicted of taking part in a violent lynching of Jews near Jerusalem’s Lions’ Gate during 2021’s Operation Guardian of the Walls have been ordered to pay their victims a total of NIS 180,000 in compensation. In addition, the defendants were ordered to pay NIS 36,000 in attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. (Why did it take so long?)
Israeli Medical Clinic for Children of Gaza
Israeli aid group announces new medical clinic for 10,000 children in Gaza. Set to open September 1 in crowded Al-Mawasi, facility will provide vaccinations, consultations, rehab for children with disabilities, and trauma-informed support in addition to education via a curriculum devoid of hateful messaging. (Very ‘inhumane’ project. What do you think?)
Quotes of the Week:
“Those who murdered, those who killed, those who beheaded, those who raped, are being rewarded by the Trump 15 points plan. And we call upon the government of Israel: Stop it. Cancel the agreement and bring back Gaza in Jewish, Israeli hands. Expel the Arab enemy, expel the Gazans, and destroy Hamas and Fatah in Judea and Samaria. There is no difference between the two of them.” – Nadia Matar, co-chair of the Sovereignty Movement.
United Arab List (Ra’am) Party Chairman Mansour Abbas wrote (apologised) in an Arabic-language post that he is forced to accept a Jewish state because otherwise his party would be barred from participating in elections. United Arab List (Ra’am) Party Chairman Mansour Abbas wrote in an Arabic-language post on Wednesday that he is forced to accept a Jewish state because otherwise his party would be barred from participating in elections. (Because Israel is true democracy, the party is still not banned.)
“The Jewishness of the state is an existing situation that was forced upon us, not by us,” Abbas wrote. Ra’am is predicted to win four seats in the Oct. 27 Knesset elections, according to most polls. It polls well among Bedouin in northern Israel and in Arab and Druze communities.
A 16-year-old from the Galilee and 19-year-old Haifa resident Ibrahim Kaabia were indicted after allegedly pledging allegiance to ISIS and planning attacks on Jewish security forces at the Temple Mount and an IDF base. (The members of ‘Israel-loving’ press do not report this.)
The PA Approved Arab-Israeli Parties ‘UNITY’
Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas and other P.A. officials were involved in the process that led to the unification of three Arab-Israeli political parties into a technical bloc ahead of the Oct. 27 national election. The three parties in question are the Communist and supposedly secular Hadash Party (with a minority Jewish presence), and the Arab nationalist parties Balad and Ta’al.
Approximately NIS 1.4 million ($400,000) in cash, suspected of being terror funds, was seized in the vehicle’s 29-year-old Jerusalem resident. The seizure took place during an operation by Border Police officers serving in the Jerusalem Envelope and personnel at the crossings at the Tunnels Checkpoint.
