This is why Judea and Samaria are critical to Israel’s national security.
👉“The entire Land of Israel, this whole area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, is only about 70 kilometers (43 miles) wide. From Netanya to the Jordan Valley is 70 kilometers. That’s not even the size of a city. You have about 15 kilometers of coastline; that’s a morning run, another 10 to 15 kilometers for the Jordan Valley, and everything in between is Judea and Samaria.
👉The Land of Israel is, for the most part, Judea and Samaria with a little around the edges. And it’s no surprise where most of our history took place: in Judea and Samaria.
👉I take this topographic map to every military officers’ school in the world and ask them: ‘Defend it.’ Within a minute, every military officer on the planet gives the same answer: you have to be on the high ground.
👉Without controlling the mountains, you simply cannot survive. Anyone who tells you, ‘Let’s separate and become a 15-kilometer-wide strip along the coast,’ is effectively telling you to die. There isn’t an army in the world that would tell you it could defend the country from Highway 6. No army in the world would say that.”
👉Brigadier General (Res.) Amir Avivi
Founder and Chairman of the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF).

🚨Young girls waited for NEARLY AN HOUR after a WNBA basketball game just for the chance of meeting Sophie Cunningham.
This is why the Democrats are attacking Sophie.
She's become a hero for young girls across America. God bless her.
Exclusive report:
A Nukhba terrorist who raided the Gaza-envelope communities during the October 7 massacre worked as an aid-truck driver and was apprehended yesterday while transporting aid in Rafah, en route to the Kerem Shalom crossing. He was transferred to security forces for further questioning.
Security officials explain that the driver was collecting aid for the private sector, meaning that a private merchant had hired him.
The security establishment learned of this and apprehended him while he was on his way, from the Gaza side, to the Kerem Shalom crossing to collect aid.

Mi total solidaridad con la periodista Deisy Martínez de @EfectoCocuyo. La agresión, intimidación y censura sufrida este #06Ago por parte de funcionarios no identificados en La Carlota representa un ataque directo a la verdad.
Exigir su teléfono, borrar material periodístico y amenazarla con la DGCIM es un acto cobarde que evidencia el miedo a la transparencia y al libre ejercicio de la prensa.
Sin libertad de expresión no hay democracia. Los ciudadanos exigimos respeto absoluto a quienes informan. #InformarNoEsDelito #LibertadDePrensa
La ironía. Una mesa de entendimiento en la que los periodistas no tienen acceso a las partes, ni para el saludo oficial.
Es parte de la opacidad que caracteriza a los autoritarismos.
Lo pongo en plural. Toca la alfabetización de los derechos de la gente a estar debidamente, oportunamente y verazmente informados.
THEY CALLED IT FAKE—UNTIL THE CAMERA WENT UNDERGROUND.
Critics claimed Israel staged the footage of a Hamas tunnel beneath the European Hospital in Gaza.
So the IDF released an uncut drone video—from the street outside the hospital, straight into the tunnel.
Same network. Same weapon. Same truth.
Hamas built its war machine beneath hospitals, homes and civilians—and the world keeps pretending not to see it.

It's amazing how incapable of independent thinking most bigots are. A Canadian guy told me he hates Israel because his tax dollars go there. Since October 7, Canada has sent more than C$600 million to the Palestinians. They didn't send a single dollar to Israel. Total ignorance.
🇨🇴‼️ | El expresidente Andrés Pastrana pidió al Senado de la República que no autorice la salida de Colombia del socialista Gustavo Petro antes del cambio de mando, argumentando que debe responder previamente por los cuestionamientos sobre la financiación de su campaña y los presuntos casos de corrupción en su gobierno.
Major scandal in Sweden after it turns out that MPs from the Left Party (used to have “The Communists”’in their party name until 1989) have been writing letters of encouragement to Palestinian terrorists who mass-murdered Israeli civilians.
Expressen reveals that several Members of Parliament have written letters to terrorists.
The Left Party MP Ilona Szatmári Waldau sent a letter to the Palestinian prisoner Ahmad al-Moghrabi who is serving 18 life sentences for having sent a suicide bomber to a bar mitzvah celebration in Jerusalem in 2002, murdering 12 civilians, including 7 children:
• Ya’akov Eliyahu, 7 months old
• Oriah Ilan, 18 months old
• Liran Nehmad, 3 years old
• Shiraz Nehmad, 7 years old
• Lidor Ilan, 12 years old
• Shaul Nehmad, 15 years old
• Avraham Nehmad, 17 years old
The other victims were Shlomo Nehmad (40), his wife Gafnit Nehmad (32), Tzofia Ya’arit Eliyahu (23) and Avi Hazan (37)

Mucho “respeto recíproco”, mucha “buena fe”, mucha “metodología”, muchos “ciclos de trabajo”… pero ni una sola línea sobre los presos políticos, ni una palabra sobre elecciones libres, ni sobre un CNE independiente, ni sobre el respeto al resultado del 28 de julio, ni sobre el regreso de los exiliados, ni sobre el cese de la persecución.
𝐄𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧: un documento lleno de palabras bonitas para decir absolutamente nada de lo que le importa al venezolano de a pie.
Porque el venezolano no necesita otra mesa. Necesita que liberen a quienes están presos por pensar distinto. Necesita votar y que su voto valga. Necesita instituciones que no respondan a Miraflores. Necesita poder regresar a su país sin miedo. Necesita justicia.
Lo demás es el mismo libreto de siempre: comunicados impecablemente redactados, fotos, apretones de manos y toneladas de “esperanza” administrada… mientras la realidad sigue intacta.
Ya perdimos la cuenta de cuántas mesas, cuántos diálogos y cuántos comunicados han prometido “el bienestar de los venezolanos”. Lo único que sí ha sido permanente es el sufrimiento de los venezolanos.
Así que, perdón si no aplaudo otro PDF lleno de diplomacia. Cuando vea presos políticos saliendo de las cárceles, un cronograma electoral con garantías reales, un CNE independiente y compromisos verificables que se cumplan, hablamos.
Hasta entonces, esto no es un acuerdo. Es otro capítulo del interminable “bla, bla, bla” al que el régimen nos tiene acostumbrados desde hace más de dos décadas. Porque en Venezuela sobran los comunicados… y faltan los hechos.🤷♀️
The @WSJ should have contacted me about Christians in Israel. I am one. Been coming here since 1973. Israel is ONLY country in region where Christian population has grown from 34K to almost 200K. @IsraelMFA just appointed a full Ambassador to the Christian world @GeorgeDeek . No other nation has done that. There are occasional but rare instances of thugs spitting at Christians in the Old City. It's repulsive & condemned by @IsraeliPM@IsraelPresident & @IsraelinUSA Happened recently at Armenian Church. @israelpolice arrested 6 ppl who did it. The perps didn't get away with it. Christians work, worship, & pray freely here. They serve in the @IDF as high-ranking officers. I go to church here every week w/o a problem. I visit with Palestinian Christians and Israeli Christians regularly. Occasional challenges? Sure. In NY, kippa-wearing Jews get spat on & viciously attacked. No one blames the entire US for behavior of a few criminals. I've been throughout the Middle East & know of no place where there is much religious diversity as there is in Israel. @Israel protects Christian Holy sites & Muslim Holy sites just as they do Jewish Holy sites. I hope @WSJ will do a bit more research in the future if they do a story about religious freedom in the Holy Land.
“They stripped him naked, soaked his body and tortured him with electric shocks for hours to force him to confess,” the relative said."
Then they executed him. By hanging him from a crane, to prolong the suffering. This is what ghouls in Britain are marching for.
When someone says, "Jews shouldn't occupy another people's land" what they really mean is that Jews shouldn't live at all because any land where Jews live is "another people's land."
