From their press release: Great truth of God
A military statement issued by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Palestine About the heroic Beersheba operation, which led to the killing of 4 settlers
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades congratulate the heroic stabbing and ramming operation carried out by one of the liberated Palestinian prisoners in the occupied city of Beersheba, which led to the killing of four settlers and the injury of others.
The battalions consider that this heroic operation comes in the context of the natural response to the escalation of terrorism of the Zionist enemy and its continuous settlers in all Palestinian cities and villages, and as the best response to the incursions of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the continuous aggression against our people in all its places of residence.
This operation came to confirm our people's rejection of the policies of the criminal enemy in the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem, and...Read More |
From Ian: UN Human Rights Council report accuses Israel of apartheid United Nations Special Rapporteur Michael Lynk accused Israel of apartheid in a report submitted Tuesday to the Human Rights Council in Geneva. "With the eyes of the international community wide open, Israel has imposed upon Palestine an apartheid reality in a post-apartheid world," wrote Lynk, whose full title is "Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967." Lynk is slated to formally release his report on Thursday ahead of a debate on Agenda Item 7, the permanent HRC item reserved for Israeli human rights abuses against Palestinians and other Arabs. This is Lynk's final report in his six-year term. "The political system of entrenched rule in the occupied Palestinian territory which endows one racial-national-ethnic group with substantial rights, benefits and privileges while intentionally subjecting another group to live behind walls, checkpoints and under a permanent military rule… satisfies the prevailing evidentiary standard for the existence of apartheid," wrote Lynk. The Canadian academic argued Israel is pursuing a strategy of "strategic fragmentation of the Palestinian territory into separate areas of population control, with Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem physically divided from one another." Israel uses Gaza, Lynk claimed...Read More |
Zelenskyy has left us Israelis with a bad taste in our mouths. He's a hero the world over, and we want to like him, too. But it's difficult for Israelis to like him after the things he said in his address to the Israeli Knesset on Sunday. President Zelenskyy hit all the wrong notes, pointing an accusatory finger at Israel with one criticism after another. Zelenskyy criticized Israel for not doing enough to help Ukraine, for not supplying the right kind of aid, for not applying pressure to Russian businesses. The Ukrainian president asserted that Ukrainians saved Jews during the Holocaust, while Jews have turned their backs on the Ukrainian people. One can keep asking why we can't get weapons from you. Or why Israel has not imposed strong sanctions against Russia. Why it doesn't put pressure on Russian business. But it is up to you, dear brothers and sisters, to choose the answer. And you will have to live with this answer, people of Israel. Ukrainians have made their choice. Eighty years ago. They rescued Jews. That is why the Righteous Among the Nations are among us. People of Israel, now you have such a choice. Ukrainians greeting arriving Germans in Western Ukraine in the summer of 1941 President Zelenskyy accused Israel of indifference, of refusing to choose sides, and of immorality, too, questioning whether Israel's imagined inaction was...Read More |
Weekly column by Vic Rosenthal What's the Plan? If you live in Israel, you know what happened in Beer Sheva on Tuesday. You know that a terrorist who was an Israeli citizen from one of the larger Bedouin towns that sprawl over Israel's Negev desert, a former teacher (!) who spent four years in prison for his activities on behalf of ISIS, brutally murdered two women and two men because they were Jews living in Eretz Yisrael.
The terrorist, Mohammad Jalab Abu al-Quian, stabbed a woman at a gas station and then drove to a nearby shopping center, running over a bicycle rider on the way. He got out of his car and stabbed three more people before being shot dead by two armed citizens. Four of his victims died, and the fifth was very seriously injured. The nightmare took eight minutes.
Here are the names of those whose lives he took: 1) Laura Yitzchak, 43. Mother of 3 girls. Resident of Be'er Sheva. 2) [Rabbi] Moshe Kravitzky, 50. Father of 4. Managed a Colel Chabad soup kitchen in Be'er Sheva. Chabad Shaliach [he was the bicycle rider]. 3) Doris Yahbas, 49. Mother of 3. From Moshav Gilat. 4) Menachem Menuchin Yechezkel, age 67. As always happens, Gazans distributed sweets in honor of the successful "operation," like...Read More |
From Ian: Two mothers of 3, a Chabad rabbi, a brother of 4: The terror victims named The four people killed by an Arab Israeli knifeman in a Beersheba terror attack on Tuesday were named as Doris Yahbas, 49, a mother of three, Laura Yitzhak, 43, also a mother of three, Rabbi Moshe Kravitzky, a father of four, and Menahem Yehezkel, 67, a brother to four. Yahbas was from Moshav Gilat, west of Beersheba, the Merhavim Regional Council said in a statement. She is survived by her husband and children. Her funeral was planned for Wednesday at Gilat's cemetery. Yahbas's nephew, Yisrael Ozen, a paramedic for the Magen David Adom first responder service, had rushed to the scene of the stabbing where he discovered that one of the victims was his aunt. "While giving treatment I noticed that it was my aunt, my mother's sister," he said. Yahbas, who was stabbed in the entrance to a clothes shop, was already showing no vital signs and medics were forced to declare her dead, he said. "I was shocked," Ozen admitted, but said he could not linger and needed to attend to his uncle, Yahbas's husband, who had arrived at the location. Another victim was identified as Menahem Yehezkel, a 67-year-old resident of Beersheba. He had no children and leaves behind four siblings, Ynet reported. "He never bothered anyone. He just went out for a walk," his nephew told Ynet. "It's...Read More |
By Forest Rain Every time there is a terror attack my mind (and heart) race down the same path. It is a horrible path because it is so familiar. And because it does not end. Living elsewhere, the news of horror is theoretical. In Israel, the news is a visceral punch in the gut that generates an immediate response - emotions and depending on how close to home the horror hits - action. How many people abroad, even those who do care, understand that when terror strikes, we all race down the path of terror. These are the questions we all ask. The emotional roller coaster changes depending on the answer. What happened? Where? How many?
It's not necessary to ask the full question: how many dead? How many injured? The newscasters ask the full question for us. We go with them to the hospital and hear the reports from the medical staff on the status of the dead and injured – people we don't yet know if we know or not. People who, if not close family or friends are still members of our tribe; family we have not yet met.
One person is too many, too horrible so why do we obsess over numbers? I'm not sure. Perhaps we see numbers as an indicator of how much horror to brace for, how much grief and sorrow will need to be absorbed. We have 6 million reasons to be obsessed with numbers and they don't end there – thousands more reasons came after, all who died in defense of this land, to grant us life. Soldiers and civilians, those who were killed in battle and who were murdered simply for...Read More |

The "Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967," Michael Lynk, is issuing a report that declares that Israel is guilty of apartheid, using the same circular logic that we have seen from other reports.
He writes that since "Distinguished voices in recent years have concluded that these inexorable factsamount to, or closely resemble, apartheid...it is incumbent upon the rest of us to test, through the tools of international law and human rights, whether these observations accurately reflect what is happening in the Palestinian territory. " Even though nothing has changed in Israeli law towards the territories in the nearly 30 years since Oslo besides giving Palestinian Arabs more independence, it is "incumbent" to find a new accusation to hurl against Israel whose conclusion is reached before the "test."
Predictably, the legal analysis that follows is a sham, ignoring the very proof texts when they disagree with the foregone conclusion that Israel is guilty of apartheid.
As with the previous analyses by Human Rights Watch and the Harvard Law School, the...Read More |
