Y’all know I have my disagreements with Bibi. Budget priorities, haredi welfare spending, import reforms, judicial reform, information war, avoidance of accountability, Gaza war - okay, a lot of disagreements, including on big, critical things that affect our lives and the lives of our neighbors.

But the man has been planning the ayatollahs’ fall for two decades. He believes it’s why God (inasmuch as he believes in God) put him on this Earth.

And damned if he isn’t seeing through this thing he has always believed was his destiny.

I’ll keep criticizing the bad stuff. I’m a citizen. He works for me. That’s how the system is supposed to work.

And I’ll keep praising and being grateful for this one great big huge thing.

I don’t know if he’ll succeed. I can’t think of anyone else who would have been so grimly single-minded and so specifically competent in the specific skillset required to bring us to this point.

Succeed in this one big thing, Bibi, and you will have earned your place in the annals of this people.

And then get serious about the import reforms. We’re dying here.

If your country has freedom of religion, but members of one religion need to pay millions on security just to safely gather, then your country does not have freedom of religion.

A message to Jews in America and elsewhere.

Ran Gvili’s body was returned home yesterday after 843 days as a hostage in Gaza.

A little over a year ago, I gave a talk at Brown University’s Hillel about my experiences as an IDF reservist throughout the war in Gaza.

At the end of the talk, someone asked me if I thought American Jews need to make Aliyah due to antisemitism in America.

I answered whatever I answered then, mostly having to do with the history of Jews and antisemitism around the world and how it usually ends.

But this would be my answer today:

You should want to live in a country where hundreds of thousands of people lose sleep over the fact that you’re not okay.

You should want to live in a country where tens of thousands of people risk their lives for you, or even just for your body, God forbid something should happen to you.

You should want to live in a country that, if needed, will spend millions and even tens of millions of dollars to bring you home.

You should want to live in a country where even when we disagree, we all view each other as family, and will risk everything for one another.

No other country is like Israel in that sense.
No other people are like the people of Israel in that sense.

We go to the end of the world for our brothers and sisters.
We risk our lives for our brothers and sisters.

You should make Aliyah not because of the hate of some for you there, but because of the love of all for you here.

IDF soldiers singing after the recovery of Ran Gvili.

The song they are singing is Ani Ma’amin (“I Believe”):

“I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah.
Even though he may tarry, nonetheless I will wait for him.”

It has been over 800 days. Our faith may have wavered at times, but we never gave up.
Welcome home, Ran. We have been waiting for you.

[Jerry Thornton @jerrythornton]

This is going to stick with me forever

[Hillel Fuld @HilzFuld]

Not gonna lie, this man just totally blew my mind!

I’ve known @RationalSettler basically my whole life. I knew he was a smart and righteous dude. I also know he does incredible work for Nefesh B'Nefesh.

What I didn’t know is that he is an incredible speaker!

It’s not often I watch a talk and think to myself “Wow this person is an infinitely better speaker than me!”

That’s how I felt yesterday when someone sent me a talk he did recently.

I’m going to try and summarize it for you below but I strongly strongly recommend you watch it. I’ll leave a link in the comments to the full talk and another video with highlights.

The premise of the talk is that we have open miracles happening right before our eyes and we don’t see them, just like the Israelites didn’t recognize that the splitting of the sea and all of the other miracles they encountered were miracles.

Again, please watch the video. It’s incredible and it is a response to all those religious Jews around the world who say they’ll come back to Israel when God starts to perform miracles and brings us back.

Well, God is looking at us today and asking how it’s possible that we don’t see the miracles he’s performing now!

Ok, here’s a summary, but watch the video!!

Miracles Described in the Speech

1. The Hezbollah Walkie-Talkie Operation
In mid-September 2024, a major intelligence operation unfolded.

A 27-year-old Israeli intelligence analyst reviewing post-battle data noticed Hezbollah fighters consistently wore walkie-talkies directly over their chests, above their hearts.

She proposed embedding explosives inside the devices so they could be detonated remotely.

Israeli intelligence approved the idea.

A shell company was created in Germany and partnered with a legitimate communications supplier in Taiwan that sold equipment globally.

Through this setup, Israel intercepted Hezbollah’s supply chain.

Small amounts of C4 and remote detonators were inserted into every walkie-talkie.

Thousands of Hezbollah fighters unknowingly wore these devices for nearly ten years.

2. The Pager Switch and First Mass Detonation
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah later feared Israeli surveillance.

He ordered Hezbollah to abandon walkie-talkies and switch to “low-tech” communication.

He chose pagers, a technology so obsolete that sourcing even dozens would normally be difficult.

Israeli intelligence anticipated the shift.

Three days after pagers were restocked, a request arrived for 5,000 units.

All pagers were supplied with embedded explosives and detonators.

After October 7, Nasrallah ordered fighters to store pagers together with walkie-talkies.

Later, an instruction was sent to pager holders:

Hold the pager as close as possible to the eyes

Press two buttons simultaneously to reveal a classified message

The stated purpose was to bring the device close to the brain.

Israel detonated the pagers.

Results:

42 fighters killed

Over 3,000 fighters permanently injured and removed from combat

Israeli soldiers involved: zero

3. Second Wave: Walkie-Talkies at Funerals
The following day, Israeli intelligence monitored Hezbollah funerals.

Nasrallah ordered remaining fighters to wear walkie-talkies again to communicate.

Israeli intelligence detonated the devices remotely.

25 additional Hezbollah fighters were killed.

Israeli casualties: zero

4. Third Wave: Elimination of Hezbollah Command
On Thursday, Nasrallah ordered the remaining 20 senior Hezbollah commanders to avoid technology and meet in person inside an apartment.

Three F-15 fighter jets took off from Ramat David Air Force Base.

Three missiles were fired directly through the apartment window.

All 20 commanders were killed.

Over three days (Tuesday–Thursday), Hezbollah ceased functioning as a military threat.

Israeli soldiers lost in the entire sequence: zero

5. Collapse of the Syrian Military

With Hezbollah removed, attention shifted to Syria.

Syria had been in civil war for over a decade.

President Assad had been protected by Hezbollah and Syrian forces.

Over 48 hours, Israel launched approximately 350 air missions.

During that period:

Every Syrian Air Force jet was destroyed

Every Syrian Navy vessel was destroyed

Every Syrian general was assassinated

All nuclear weapons scientists were killed

All chemical weapons scientists were killed

Southern Syria was seized as a buffer zone.

Israeli soldiers lost in Syria operations: zero

6. Iran Air Campaign - “Mechanical Impossibility”
Israeli leadership planned for unavoidable losses.

F-35 jets cost approximately $235 million each.

Each hour in the air requires roughly eight hours of maintenance.

Standard air-force readiness averages around 50%.

The plan involved:

200 aircraft’s

Four-hour flight to Iran

Extended operations under stress and anti-aircraft fire

Four-hour return flight

Standard engineering models predicted:

Mechanical failures

Aircraft losses

Pilot deaths

None of those occurred.

Israel experienced:

No aircraft losses

No pilot deaths

No significant mechanical failures

Mechanical engineers and American officials reportedly stated the outcome was not unlikely, but impossible.

U.S. officials reportedly could not file reports explaining how it happened.

7. Covert Operations Inside Iran
(“Operation Narnia” and “Operation Red Wedding”)

Simultaneously with the air campaign, Israel conducted two covert operations inside Iran.

These operations eliminated Iranian generals and weapons scientists.

Israeli forces reportedly operated inside Iran for years.

Drone production facilities were reportedly run inside Iran.

Israeli soldiers lost in Iran operations: zero

8. Iranian Missile Strikes With Minimal Casualties
Iran launched massive missile attacks on Israel.

Contrary to public claims that most were intercepted, missiles landed and caused severe damage.

Examples cited:

A missile landed near an office in Tel Aviv, shutting it down for two months

A missile hit a 30-story building in Tel Aviv, collapsing half the structure

No one was hospitalized from that strike

Soroka Hospital:

A director identified one vulnerable building

Ordered it evacuated

The next day it took a direct hit

No one was inside and no one was hurt

U.S. estimates predicted 80,000–100,000 Israeli deaths.

Actual Israeli deaths nationwide: fewer than 40.

American engineers reportedly stated the casualty outcome could not be explained.

9. February 20, 2025 - Bus Bombing Failure

On February 20, 2025, multiple buses exploded in a parking lot.

A woman discovered a bomb under her seat on another bus.

All buses nationwide were ordered to stop.

Another bomb was found.

The intended plan:

Five buses exploding in downtown Tel Aviv

Approximately 1,000 Jews killed

Thousands injured
What occurred:

All bombs were set for 9:00 PM instead of 9:00 AM

The error occurred five times in a row

The buses exploded empty.

Israeli casualties: zero

10. Sinwar’s Aborted Master Plan

Captured plans revealed October 7 was not intended as a standalone attack.

The coordinated plan included:

Hamas attack from Gaza

Hezbollah firing 50,000–100,000 rockets from the north

Iran firing ballistic missiles

Palestinian uprisings in the Shomron

Expected outcome:

Millions of Jewish deaths

Collapse of the State of Israel

For unknown reasons, Yahya Sinwar launched the attack early without coordination.

What was intended to be Israel’s end became a salvation.

11. The Land Becoming Fruitful Again

The land of Israel, described as desolate for centuries, is now producing in abundance.

This transformation is presented as fulfillment of prophecy.

12. Ingathering of the Exiles

Approximately 7.5 million Jews now live in Israel.
This represents the largest Jewish population in the land in 2,000 years.

13. Miraculous Wars With Minimal Losses

Across multiple conflicts, Israel has survived wars with disproportionately low casualties.

This contrasts with historical precedents where major victories involved massive loss of life.

14. “On the Wings of Eagles”

Some awaited a final miracle symbolized by “eagles.”

The company owning El Al Airlines is identified as “Kanfei Nesharim,” meaning “Wings of Eagles.”

Flying to Israel on El Al is described as arriving “on the wings of eagles.”

That’s a short overview but I am telling you, watch the whole thing!

6/ This is the deeper miracle of Chanukah: Not just that the few defeated the many, but that the righteous remained righteous while confronting the wicked. Maintaining moral clarity in the darkness of war is a miracle worth our deepest gratitude. 🇮🇱✨

[Ami Yunger @ami_yunger]

1/ On Chanukah, we recite Al HaNissim to thank Hashem for the extraordinary. We often focus on the military wonders: the weak defeating the strong and the few overcoming the many. These are the classic miracles of the Maccabees.

[Ami Yunger @ami_yunger]

5/ The burden on the tzadikim (the righteous) is heavy because they refuse to abandon their principles. Fighting with restraint and values creates limits that a wicked enemy simply doesn’t have.
