If you had a group of people who said their objective in life was to kill you and your family, and they moved in right next door to you, what would you do?
Would you invite them over for dinner?
No.
Would you allow them to use your swimming pool, or play in your yard?
No.
Would you let your children go over to their house, or even onto their property?
No.
You would put up a fence to protect your family. A security system on your home. Maybe even hire security guards to monitor.
You’d defend your home. You’d defend your family.
You’d do everything in your power to make sure your family was safe.
If they ever were successful, and got through your defenses – if they ever harmed one of your family members – or worse – killed them, or if they kidnapped one of your family members and took them to their home, so they could torture them and torment you, you would go to their home, you would strike back with all of your power and with all of your might, you would do anything and everything to search their property and their home, looking for your kidnapped family member, and you would not stop until you got them back.
I know that’s what you’d do.
You know that’s what you’d do.
So don’t bitch and complain and whine and cry when Israel does the exact same thing.
It’s their fucking right.
We’re all grownups here, time to start being honest about what’s going on.
People don’t want 2 states.
They want the destruction of Israel.
People aren’t anti-Zionist.
They’re anti-Jew.
People aren’t pro Palestine.
They’re pro Islamic Regime.
People aren’t anti-Israel.
They’re anti-Western civilization.
People don’t want to wipe out Jews.
They want to wipe out everyone.
And too many of us are enabling and empowering them.
Queen Esther stood up for the Jewish people not because she was unafraid, but because she chose courage over complicity.
Purim isn’t just a reminder to our enemies of the Jewish people’s strength.
It’s a reminder to ourselves that hiding won’t conquer hate.
If you aren't aware of what's going on right now, let me break it down for you. Jews worldwide are being hunted down and killed. It's only day three of Hanukkah, and already we've seen:
1. Jews murdered by a jihadi father-son duo in Australia that seriously wounded many people, including my friend @Ostrov_A (thinking of you, brother).
2. Students at @BrownUniversity were murdered in a class being taught by Rachel Friedberg, a Jewish professor who leads the school's Judaic Studies program.
3. A Jewish professor of nuclear physics at M.I.T. was murdered in his home today.
4. Orthodox Jews in New York were violently assaulted on the subway.
5. Violent Palestinian protestors disrupted a peaceful Hanukkah celebration in Amsterdam. Dozens were arrested after police had to physically surround families celebrating the holiday to protect them.
6. A Jewish family in California had their home hit by gunfire because they had Hanukkah decorations up. One of the criminals shouted, "Free Palestine."
7. An Islamic terrorist attack has been foiled in Poland at a Christmas market.
8. An Islamic terrorist attack has been foiled in Germany at a Christmas market.
9. A Palestinian terrorist attack was foiled in California.
10. France has cancelled its NYE celebrations because of the terrorist threat level.
11. Canada's Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre has said that a terrorist attack in Canada is now "a realistic possibility."
I've been studying terrorism for 20 years, and I've never seen things this bad. The West is under attack – full stop. The question now is, what the hell are we going to do about it?
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad held Rom Broslavsky hostage in its Gaza dungeons - torturing, abusing, and starving him.
They attempted to force him to convert to Islam under threat and violence. When he refused, they blindfolded him and shoved stones into his ears, leaving him unable to see or hear for weeks.
Even through unbearable pain, Rom chose to speak - to expose what the jihadists did.
The world must not look away.
Hamas and PIJ must go.

I want to thank every single non-Jewish person who fought for us, prayed for us, advocated for us, helped us, cried with us, celebrated with us, and stood with us over the past two years during a very difficult time for the Jewish people.
Your support means so much to us.
We can’t thank you enough.
May God bless you.
I’m proud to be part of this miracle called the Jewish nation. We’ve known hardship and suffering, yet we always find the light at the end of every tunnel. Ours is a nation built on resilience and strength. We draw energy from moments when sorrow turns into celebration, and that faith carries us forward. May we finally see the end of this long, dark exile once and for all, and witness the arrival of Moshiach.
“Enter residential neighborhoods and set them on fire with gasoline or diesel from a tanker….Document the scenes of horror, now, and broadcast them on TV channels to the whole world… Slaughter them. End the children of Israel.”
The New York Times revealed that the IDF recovered a six‑page memo in Gaza, believed to have been written by Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in August 2022, outlining instructions for the October 7 massacre.
The memo calls for Hamas men to target soldiers and civilian communities, and to broadcast the violent acts in order to instill fear among Israelis and destabilize the country.
Contrary to Sinwar’s public claims, the document shows that he wanted the terrorists to target civilians from the outset, ordering them to enter residential neighborhoods and set them on fire “with gasoline or diesel from a tanker.”
From the start, Hamas planned an attack of rare brutality, aimed primarily at civilians and meant to be broadcast ״to the Arab world to mobilize people outside Gaza to join the fight.״
Hamas’ plan was never to “Free Palestine” or protect Palestinians. Their orders were to burn homes and kill everyone.
The instructions in the memo were consistent with the communications intercepted on October 7.
Intercepts of Hamas battalion commanders said: “I want the whole kibbutz to be in flames.” “Start setting homes on fire.” “Slit their throats, slit them as you are trained.”
This is the truth about your “freedom fighters.”
I think it’s important just to point out while everyone is excited about this “ceasefire” deal:
Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia are all HUGE sponsors of terrorism. It’s not just the Islamic regime of Iran that is evil. Hamas isn’t an Iranian proxy. It’s a Qatari proxy. It is the Muslim Brotherhood.
Trump has done a lot of good things since coming back to power, but publicly praising and lauding these terrorist states and placing them on some pedestal and thanking them when it was these very countries that sponsored, funded, armed and politically protected Hamas and other terror groups isn’t one of those good things. It has served only to embolden all the protesters around the world and make them believe they were right to riot and protest and hate.
If this past two years have shown me anything, it’s that the Abraham Accords for all their potential and possibilities are simply not worth the paper they’re written on.
So long as these countries openly hate Israel and Jews, and they do, there will never be peace. Islam is a bigger problem than even the most vocal people against it realize. And until it is tackled head on, and until a leader stands up and speaks out against terror and all its benefactors, the cycle of death and suffering will never end.
Consider what Hamas is demanding to end the war. They’re not prioritizing rebuilding Gaza, reforming their education system, or creating jobs for Palestinians.
They are singularly focused on securing the release of unrepentant killers who vow to murder more Jews.
I hope and pray Hamas keeps up their end of the deal and the hostages come home.
I hope and pray the details of phase 2 are worked out, that Hamas complies, and that there’s a pathway to long term peace in the Middle East.
But as wonderful as tonight’s announcement was about the agreement to phase 1 and the imminent release of the hostages, it will change nothing in the UK. It will change nothing in France or Australia or America or Canada. It won’t make the Islamists give Dearborn back, it won’t make the sleeper cells stop marching in the West, praying wherever they want, dominating and controlling Western cities.
As awesome as tonight’s announcement was, it will do nothing to stop the invasion and conquering of Western civilization.
Because this was never about the people of Gaza. It was never about a Palestinian state. It was never about Israel.
It’s always been about world domination by the Islamists.
Everything else is just a distraction.
It’s great that the hostages will hopefully be released within the next few days. They are the ones who hadn’t done anything wrong. They’re the innocent people in Gaza, and though it’s bitterly disappointing that the world didn’t do infinitely more to get them released far far sooner and instead focused on potshots and spreading false accusations and propaganda against Israel, thankfully there is a really good chance they will be home soon.
With everything that’s happened over the last two years, I humbly think it’s important to wait for them to actually be released before getting too excited, and it’s important to remember that this is just phase 1 of this “deal”.
No matter what I would say or not say, it will be taken as negative when it isn’t. This war is far from over. And not just with the people of Gaza. This war wasn’t just with Gaza, and whatever this deal commits the parties to, it doesn’t commit everyone else to. Not the Islamic regime of Iran, not the Houthis, not Hezbollah, not even all the Gazan factions.
But taking Hamas to one side, there are a few entities that aren’t even mentioned or being spoken about that if not entirely cut out and removed from Gaza like the cancer they are, the conflict will only rage on… and that is the United Nations, Amnesty International, The Red Cross and HRW. Words cannot describe the damage and suffering those entities have caused for decades.
There are so many things that need to be changed and abolished and removed, and none have been addressed. And in my opinion, groups like the UN are so much more damaging and dangerous than Hamas.
Also, just judging by the reaction and slogans and songs of the Gazans over the last two days, peace is so far away from reality that it’s almost a delusional mind that would think otherwise. This is a deal to bring hostages home. It’s no different from the one that brought Gilad Shalit home all those years ago. It isn’t peace because the Arabs do not want peace.
But for now, the focus will be on the hostages coming home. And it’s not just the hostages who have been held in captivity all this time. There will be soldiers who have sacrificed so much, their families who have been left behind as they fight, who will be returning home as the fighting at the very least slows down a little. Over the next few days and weeks, families will be reunited after so long. For some, the suffering and heartache will end. For others, new battles will begin. But our country has changed. And I do believe for the better. Now we need to make our country whole again. We cannot repeat the same tired mistakes of the past. If we do, this will not end.
I see posts from every side assessing who won. Nobody won. Not Israel. Not Hamas. Not the hostages. Not the Jewish people. And not humanity. Nobody wins in a war. And the very fact that so many countries continue to pus for the same thing that caused the war to rage for over a century only shows that everyone loses.
This is a respite for a short period.
The hostages will come home. They’ll have a few days or weeks of smiles and celebration and then the reality of what they’d just endured will kick in. Their courage to survive for over two years is perhaps a victory, the only thing any of us can claim as a victory.
The world has changed for Jews. It isn’t going to magically go back to how it was before the war. Our lives and our world has changed forever. And Gaza is mostly rubble, but so long as those people continue to live next door to us while their minds are filled with hate and the wish for our blood, there will be another war in a long line of wars so far.
Sure we hit Hezbollah hard and the Houthis and Hamas and Iran, but all of them will rebuild and the entire Arab world will ensure that more than enough money pours in to do just that.
President Trump has done well here, but he is president for just 3 more years. Who knows who will come after him. And then we will have to manage a new reality again.
There are no winners. It’s just a ceasefire and nothing has really changed. The UN still exists. Europe is still mostly communist. The governments of Australia and Canada and France and Britain and so many others have shown their true faces and they are enemies, not allies. This isn’t a win for anybody. Even if this current war ends. Everything has changed. The hate is still out there in extremes like never before. This was an opportunity to truly make things right and ensure that what led to this war will be corrected and the evil wiped out. But we failed. And it won’t just be Israel that pays the price. Europe surrendered to Islam and will fall. As has Australia and Canada and others. Israel may be more prepared for the next time unlike this one. But we will spend the next few years watching other nations slowly collapse and be assimilated by evil. And we need to be ready.
When the hostages are home we can rejoice. That’s the only win here.
Let me see if I have this right.
Progressives hate colonialism…unless it’s European governments unilaterally declaring a Palestinian state
And they hate white saviors…unless it’s Western activists on a boat to Gaza.
I’ve read this latest 21-point plan proposed by the Trump administration to bring about a “ceasefire”, and I wish I wouldn’t need to criticize it. It’s clear that it’s completely based on Arab demands, and in truth it really saddens me.
I wasn’t expecting Trump to just stand by headstrong by our side. Would have been nice but it’s not realistic. He’s always stated it’s going to be “America First”, and now it is.
One of the main repetitive themes in this plan is that Hamas will be allowed to survive and even be given full amnesty. Just reading those words of giving them full amnesty is hard to take in. And a new feature of this plan is that Hamas doesn’t even need to accept it or agree to it. Israel does, because of course the onus is on us. But Hamas can choose not to, and everyone will just work around them.
We get the 48 hostages back, and we need ti release hundreds of mass murderers plus over a thousand other prisoners.
But the real kick in the face lies in the fact that we are forbidden from taking control of Gaza, Samaria or Judea. Our own land we are unable to touch.
It’s hard to overstate just how much of a capitulation this is to terrorists. And I don’t want to hear the stupid commentary of “Don’t worry because Hamas will never accept this”. How many times do we need to go around the same circles?
It is so abundantly clear that too many people have completely forgotten what’s happened every time we offered deals like this over the past 50-60 years. This isn’t peace. And for anyone to claim this is the first time this and that or we’ve never been closer to peace than now is disingenuous at best.
The Arabs will never fulfil their obligations. What they will do is ride it out as they always have until Trump is no longer in office. This isn’t a Trump win. This is simply no different to every other failed attempt before it. It’s barely a bandaid on an open wound. It’s Trump basically biding time so he can just hand over the baton to someone after him and take no responsibility as anything that goes wrong will just be blamed on the next guy.
Many will quickly jump to his defense and tell me how ungrateful I am and how Israelis are their own worst enemy. And we are in so far as we keep allowing others to dictate our right to exist. And just as every time before it, we have no right to exist, and in 3-5 years time the entire Arab world will provoke the next excuse to blame us for something and attack again. And so the entire charade will repeat itself.
This is such an opportunity wasted. But then that’s about the only consistent theme in this never ending conflict. But at least hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, will be thrown about. The reality is simple… Hamas and Gaza and all their funders and supporters and co-conspirators started a war in the most barbaric way, and with the right amount of money, they get away with it.
My children will grow up in the knowledge that they will now have to fight in the next war. And I absolutely guarantee you all there will be another war. There always is. The Arabs have one goal that hasn’t changed in a century. And they’ve just been handed another opportunity to achieve it on a freaking silver platter.
May the new Jewish year bring more light than darkness, more hope than fear, and more victories for truth and dignity.
May our enemies and their halfwit supporters be rendered powerless and irrelevant.

People really need to stop looking at October 7 as a declaration of war by Hamas.
It wasn’t.
October 7 was extremely well planned and coordinated, not just by Gaza but by the entire Arab world, by the UN, by the media, by many western and eastern governments, by NGOs and by pretty influential people.
It wasn’t some little group of terrorists that put it all together. Hamas don’t have the brains or resources to pull it all off on their own. They were just the matchstick used to light the fire. They weren’t the oil or the matchbox or the money or the anything else.
And until we all realized that this was a war planned from much much higher up and that Israel was just one small part of the target, then we will continue to run around in circles.
They knew Israel would go after Hamas and Gaza. Every single thing since October 7 was a set up. We had no choice but to fight and get our people back, but this was all solely to destroy the entirety of western civilization.
So to see presidents or world leaders pander and “negotiate” with the very terrorists and entities that were and are actively trying to destroy them is so insane.
If I had my money on it, the UN was the main architect of this all. Others funded it and armed it and made sure everything was in place, but the central operation was initiated by the UN in order to take over. They’ve always wanted to. They were hijacked by the communists and Nazis many decades ago and they are the HQ of all of this.
