Devastating news 💔 Tzala Gaz, a pregnant mother of three, was on her way to the hospital to give birth to her fourth child when she was shot by Palestinian terrorists. She has tragically died from her injuries.

Doctors performed an emergency C-section to deliver her baby, who is now in critical condition and fighting for life.

May Tzala’s memory forever be a blessing 🕯️

The Palestinian Information Center, which has half a million followers on Facebook, has posted a photo of actress Katherine Heigl—who played Dr. Izzie Stevens in “Grey’s Anatomy”—identifying her as a “French doctor” who has traveled to Gaza “to offer medical help.”

Hamas forced us to say goodbye to a 10-month-old baby, a 4-year-old little boy, and their mother.

We will never forgive them.

We will never forget the Bibas family.

[Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas]

💔 Statement from Yarden Bibas:

During these painful and difficult days, there are no words to describe the level of gratitude that we feel towards all of you. The warm embrace, the love and the strength that you have sent us from all over Israel and the world strength us and accompany us during these moments of crisis.

We sense the open hearts, the enormous embrace, your pain alongside our pain – which we don’t take for granted.

This Wednesday we will accompany Shiri, Kfir and Ariel on their final journey. We are aware that many of you want to be there, to pay your respects, to express your love and to say your goodbyes together with us.

However, in order to enable the family to say their goodbyes in the most personal and intimate way, and due to space limitations, the funeral ceremony itself will only be for members of the family and close friends.

Nonetheless, it is important for us to make it possible for whoever wishes to pay their respects and be a part of this moment to do so. Therefore, the route of the funeral procession will be published in order to enable anyone that wishes to do so to accompany our loved ones on their final journey. In addition, we are working to livestream the eulogies ceremony and will provide further details shortly.

We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts – for the love, for the embrace, for the tears that we have all shed. We don’t have sufficient words to express our appreciation for all that you have given us at this time.

Please respect our choice to say our goodbyes during these final moments in the way that is right for us. The knowledge that you are with us, that your hearts are beating alongside ours, strengthens us with every breath.

With great love and gratitude.

“Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood.
The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys—they killed them with their bare hands.
Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities.”

-IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari

Heartwarming to see the innocent genocide survivors with their post-famine children out for a day out to gawk at the coffins of dead baby Jews. There is even a touch and play gun display for the kiddos!

Doron Kadosh: In the past few hours, I have reviewed the entire list of 734 terrorists expected to be released as part of the deal from Israeli prisons. I went through it name by name, terrorist by terrorist. It's an unbearably difficult list, long and filled with the blood of Israeli civilians and soldiers. I find it appropriate to present part of it here, to also remind us of the heavy price of the hostage deal, which deserves to be mentioned:

1. Ahmad Barghouti, a close aide and cousin of Marwan Barghouti, sentenced to 13 life terms for leading a "murder machine" that carried out attacks in which 12 Israelis were killed, including the suicide bombing at the Seafood Market restaurant in Tel Aviv.

2. Wael Qassem (head of the cell), Wassam Abbasi, Mohammed Odeh, members of Hamas's "Silwan Cell," responsible for attacks that killed 35 Israelis, including the bombing at Café Moment in Jerusalem where 11 Israelis were killed, the attack at the Spaghettim Club in Rishon LeZion where 15 Israelis were killed, and the bombing at the Frank Sinatra Cafeteria at the Hebrew University where 9 Israelis were killed.

3. Zakaria Zubeidi - Former commander of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Jenin, responsible for a series of attacks, including the attack at the Likud branch in Beit She'an where 6 Israelis were killed. He was also one of the terrorists who escaped from Gilboa Prison in 2021. Since he was not convicted of murder but other offenses, Zubeidi will not be deported abroad and is expected to be released back to the West Bank.

4. Abdullah Sharabati, Majdi Zaatari, and Samer Alatrash, members of the cell responsible for a series of attacks on bus lines 2 and 14 in Jerusalem in 2003, one of which killed 23 Israelis, including 7 children, and carried out the suicide bombing on line 6 in the French Hill where 7 Israelis were killed and 20 were injured. They planned a long series of additional attacks.

5. Mohammed Amoudi, who dispatched the suicide bomber for the attack at the "Mayor's Shawarma" stand in Tel Aviv in 2006, killing 11 people.

6. Mohammed Abu Warda, who sent the suicide bombers for the attacks on line 18 in Jerusalem in 1996, attacks in which 45 Israelis were killed. He is serving 48 life sentences in an Israeli prison.

7. Mahmoud Atallah, a life prisoner who murdered a Palestinian woman, and during his time in a security prison, was accused of raping a female guard as part of the pimping scandal in Gilboa Prison. He will not be deported but will be released to the West Bank.

8. Nour Jaber - A terrorist responsible for the murder of 16 Israelis: dispatched the suicide attacks on the worshipers' route in Hebron in 2002 where 12 Israelis were killed, including Brigade Commander Dror Weinberg, and the attack in Atzmona in 2002 where 4 Israelis were killed.

9. Sami Jaradat, one of the terrorists responsible for the attack at Maxim Restaurant in Haifa in 2003, where 21 Israelis were killed.

10. Ali Sufuri, a senior Islamic Jihad terrorist responsible for the murder of 9 Israelis and the injury of more than 100 in a series of attacks: the car bomb explosion at the central station in Hadera where 45 Israelis were injured, the shooting attack at the market in Hadera where 4 Israelis were killed, the suicide bombing at the Check Post junction where 29 civilians were injured, and many more attacks.
11. Omar Al-Zaben, one of the leaders of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, responsible for a long series of attacks in which 27 Israelis were killed, sentenced to 27 life terms in prison.
12. Ramadan Mashahra - One of the terrorists involved in the suicide bombing in the Gilo neighborhood in Jerusalem in 2002, where 19 Israelis were killed.
13. Shadi Amouri, one of the planners of the car bomb attack at the Megiddo junction in 2002, where 17 were killed.
14. Thabet Mardawi, a senior Islamic Jihad operative responsible for a series of attacks during the Second Intifada in which 21 were killed & nearly 200 injured

The “Jew hunt” for Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are coming out in court and it’s clear it was premeditated and coordinated.

Organizers worked for days to bus in culprits from across the Netherlands to ambush Jews.

One defendant shared locations throughout the night of “cancer Jews to beat up,” as he wrote, to the 900 members of the main WhatsApp group of that night’s “Jew hunt”

Right now, my phone buzzes with more reports of Jews, being beaten in Amsterdam interspersed with alerts of rockets being fired on Haifa.

The year is 2024.

Go on. Explain to me how I’m supposed to pretend this isn’t what I think it is. That they aren’t who I know they are. That this isn’t the future of Europe.

That’s not rhetorical. What are the optimistic data points pointing in the other direction?

The mobs of Middle Eastern migrants hunting Jews in Amsterdam tonight are interrogating people they meet on the streets

If ppl don’t know Dutch or Arabic, they are attacked

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

If even Israel’s pager attack— one of the most precise counter-terror operations in warfare history, targeting ONLY Hezbollah operatives hiding in civilian areas— gets this sort of outrage, I’m afraid it has always been about stripping Jews of the right for self defense.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

If you’re outraged by an attack that targeted ONLY Hezbollah operatives, but not with Hezbollah’s attacks on Israeli children, maybe you don’t really care about human lives?

Dr. Einat Wilf: "Our country is being torn apart by a terrible struggle over something that doesn't really exist.

A few months ago, one of the senior American negotiators in the peace process said in a closed meeting that "after thirty years, he had to admit that there was never really a negotiation." According to him, "Israel offered, and Arafat said no. Israel offered more, and Arafat said no. Israel offered more, and Abu Mazen said no." He further added, "there was never a moment when there were real negotiations in the sense that the Palestinians tried to reach an agreed and acceptable outcome."

I add that to the extent there were negotiations during the years of the 'peace process,' they were conducted between the U.S. and Israel. The U.S. pressured Israel, and Israel offered more. The U.S. pressured again, and Israel offered more. But throughout those years of what was called the 'peace process,' we never truly bothered to check whether the Palestinians even accepted the most basic condition for any peace solution based on two states, which is that one of the two states is the nation-state of the Jewish people. We assumed that this was the intention behind the expression 'two states,' but that was only an assumption from our side. As far as Palestinian internalization that they are not refugees and that there is no such thing as a 'right of return' to Israel, there was never a moment when they were truly ready to accept a two-state solution where one of those states is the Jewish state.

This dynamic is repeating itself now. Ostensibly, there are negotiations about a deal to release the hostages, there are frameworks and stages, and the Americans are constantly pressuring the Israelis to agree to more, and Israel generally agrees, but there is no real deal from the Palestinian side. To understand this, one must listen not to the Americans, not to people on our side, but to the Palestinians.

If there is one thing I have committed to myself since realizing that the Palestinians do not lie about fundamental issues, it is to listen to them without masking what they say with my wishful thinking. For many months now, I have been listening to the voices coming from their side, and through the veil of 'negotiations,' flights to Doha and Paris, and Americans saying 'any minute now,' it is clear that there is no real deal to return all the hostages (and now we even have the document from Bild).

The enormous failure in managing the political, diplomatic, and military campaign has led to the situation where, eleven full months after Hamas and its supporters' invasion and massacre in Israel, Hamas feels secure enough to insist on the same position it presented after the invasion and massacre: full Israeli withdrawal, Hamas remaining in full control of Gaza, including the border with Egypt, and billions flowing in for 'reconstruction' (yes, the same reconstruction as in every previous round). Given the asymmetry in goals, this is Hamas’s definition of 'total victory,' with all the implications for inspiring our enemies as a whole.

For those asking — from Hamas's perspective, it has not paid a price, certainly not one that counts as a price in its eyes. The civilian casualties are not a price, and the skilled killers we have killed are already being replaced by others. As long as Hamas controls Gaza (thanks to Israel's capitulation in allowing regular supplies into Gaza and the total blindness to the double game being played by Qatar and Egypt, and of course, the American stupidity/naivety), and is in a position to demand what it demanded the day after the invasion and massacre.

And even for those saying we should accept this deal with all its implications, it's unclear that it even really exists. Because from Hamas's perspective, the main point is to ensure that Israel won’t attack again or threaten its rule, and for that, it is quite likely that hostages will be retained to ensure a horrifying and drawn-out negotiation over them to prevent Israel from acting against it. The enemy we are facing is not stupid. It has studied Israeli society. The talk of 'we’ll make a deal, and then we’ll do what we want in Gaza' shows that we still underestimate the enemy, its determination, and its sadism.

Instead of facing the horrific failure of managing the campaign since October 7th and acknowledging the determined enemy in front of us, we are tearing ourselves apart, blaming each other, blaming the hostage families who are tormented with worry, and getting bogged down in discussions about negotiations. Instead, we should understand that we need leadership that will conduct a determined campaign and policy (actions, not empty talk) that recognizes the gravity of the moment and the threat, that will not lead us to the terrible choice between abandoning the hostages and Israeli capitulation, and will create a different, new alternative.

The initial major mistake was to assume that the release of the hostages is opposed to the goal of defeating Hamas. It is exactly the same goal—precisely because for Hamas, keeping the hostages is a guarantee of its victory, and therefore, defeating Hamas is the only way to free the hostages. But defeating Hamas depends on a combination of a political, diplomatic, and military campaign that, first and foremost, makes clear that Israel has stopped supplying its enemy during the war, and that at least from Israel's side, nothing goes in until the hostages come out.

This is a policy that makes it clear that Egypt and Qatar are welcome to supply Hamas through the border with Egypt, and we won’t stop it (even if we are stationed at the border). We have a legal obligation to allow it, but not to do it ourselves from within our borders. As long as the enemy has not surrendered and there is no occupation but only a prolonged war, this is not our responsibility. We need a policy that works to clear northern Gaza and Gaza City and pushes the population southward with a clear statement that we will stop only when all the hostages are freed.

We have a bitter enemy who has long believed that the opportunity has fallen into its hands to bring to an end the mad experiment of maintaining a sovereign Jewish state and is acting in the cruelest way toward this goal. This is not an enemy seeking to achieve a limited goal of living alongside us in dignity or freeing some murderers from our prisons. Against such an enemy, we must be no less determined."

[Tima (ティマ) @TimaSa713]

Hamas killed a 23 year old with a banner in his room saying Jerusalem is everyone's. They killed an 80 year old man who used to drive sick Gazans for treatment in Israel hospitals. They killed an 82 year old lady who advocated for peace all her life. This will never be resistance

The mistake I made prior to 7 October was believing that the majority of the world were decent people who were not antisemitic. Since then, my eyes have been opened.
