Turkey and F-35 stealth fighter jets have been big news all week. Israel is extremely uncomfortable about this.

Check out Netanyahu’s comments in these first paragraphs below:

According to the Wall Street Journal, Israel has communicated through channels to the USA that it has learned of Iran’s new plans to attempt to assassinate USA President Trump.

Some months ago, in 2025, the Fbi arrested and the USA court convicted a Pakistani man for such an attempt; he had been hired by Iran to enter the USA and arrange a Trump assassination.

President Trump appears to dangle the F-35 deal as a carrot, perhaps as part of negotiations with Turkey.  But Greece and Israel are extremely concerned about safety if the deal materializes.

As such, USA Department of War leader, Pete Hegseth, plans to visit Israel.

The leadership of Turkiye constantly threatens Israel with destruction.

As of this writing, USA President Trump is areiving on the ground in Turkiye to meet with Prime Minister Erdogan, an Islamist and Jew-hater.

The one good point in this: The USA may not intend to deliver top-level versions of the F-35 planes to Turkey. The hardware and software updates could make the difference.

"No F-35s for you," by Jerusalem Post editorial board, 7 July 2026 pg 9.




When it comes to its opinions on the Middle East, the queer movement goes beyond absurd, it is also patently dishonest.

The Left, insofar as it is Marxist, elevates the “Narrative of the Oppressed,” aka “The Blame Game” and “Victim Olympics,” as Comrade Karl’s superior method of “divide and conquer” in order to destroy civilization and to promote tyranny under the sheep’s wool of what Gad Saad , academic, referred to as “Suicidal Empathy” in his book by the same title.

In this Marxist way, loud Western LGBTQ people unthinkingly reach for solidarity with all whom they see as oppressed, as seen in “The absurdity of ‘Queers for Palestine'” article which points out the idiocy of this view:

Photo of Jerusalem Post, 7 July 2026, pg 9

What the article’s authors miss, however, is something hidden in plain sight: In resorting to “white privilege” as an excuse for Gaza’s reprehensible behavior, the activist racially profiles Gazans as nonwhite. How are Gazans nonwhite when Israeli Jews are white? They are all the same brown Middle Easterners. The majority of Jews in Israel have formerly lived thousands of years in “brown” places such as Yemen, Morocco, Syria, and Egypt — same as the Gazans.

Anyway – has the 1960’s work by Martin Luther King Jr already been forgotten? I thought he wrote about the substance of a man’s character being more important than the color of his skin.

Thirdly – and worst of all – the activist in Boulder–by resorting to his own white privilege by way of argument, he exposes his utter lack of empathy for nonwhite Gazan queers. He actually does not care one bit for queer Gazans who have no refuge from their Islamic brothers who will stone them and drag their bodies through the streets behind motorcycles. The Boulder activist also does not have an ounce of empathy for Gazans in general who must witness their gay family members abused and murdered. According to the activist’s myopic, short-sighted answer, in resorting to his “white privilege” argument, he exposes that he is thinking of no one at all other than himself. His brain and critical thinking are utterly switched off.

It goes without saying that such activists also have zero empathy for Jews who he simultaneously condemns as too white for the Middle East (wrong!) and too brown for Europe and the West (wrong!).

The way forward is not in narratives of the oppressed: The path to success is to leave behind all aspects of victim mentality and blame games, to reach higher towards forgiveness, enablement, can-do attitudes, positivity, and “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” In this way, Hong Kong, living under similar conditions as Gaza, became a shining city rather than a subterranean rocket factory constantly looking for creative ways to attack China incessantly.

When such coincidences occur, the Father in heaven, Creator of all, is saying: “Doesn’t anyone have any questions about this concurrence? Does anyone want relationship with Me? Is anyone curious about My power, My plans, My love for you?”

Tisha B’Av 2026 begins at sundown on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 and ends at nightfall on Thursday, July 23, 2026.  Observed on the 9th of Av in the Hebrew year 5786, this solemn fast day commemorates the destruction of both the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem. 

Key aspects of the observance include:

• Significance: Regarded as the saddest day in the Jewish calendar, it marks major tragedies including the Temple destructions, the exile of the ten tribes, and other calamities. 

• Prohibitions: Observers refrain from eating, drinking, washing, applying lotions, wearing leather shoes, and marital relations for approximately 25 hours. 

• Customs: The day involves reading the Book of Lamentations (Eichah), sitting on low stools or the floor, and wearing white to symbolize mourning.

• Context: Tisha B’Av concludes the “Three Weeks” of mourning, which begin on the 17th of Tammuz. 

The Three Weeks began on Thursday, July 2, 2026, marking the start of the fast of the 17th of Tammuz (Hebrew: Shiv’ah Asar b’Tammuz). 

Key Details

• Start Date: July 2, 2026

• Hebrew Date: 17 Tammuz, 5786

• Observance: The fast begins at dawn and ends at nightfall on the same day. 

• Significance: This day commemorates the breaching of the walls of Jerusalem by the Romans before the destruction of the Second Temple. It initiates a period of mourning that concludes on Tisha B’Av.

1000 days since Oct 7

July 2, 2026 marks the 1,000th day since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attacks on Israel. This milestone has triggered widespread memorials, protests, and strategic reassessments across the country. 

Commemorations and Protests

• October Council organized nationwide events starting at 6:29 a.m., the exact time the attacks began, with a minute of silence at 10:00 a.m.

• Demonstrators gathered at over 50 locations, including outside the Knesset and homes of coalition leaders, demanding accountability and a state commission of inquiry. 

• Slogans such as “1,000 days, 2,000 dead”highlighted calls for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s resignation, citing government failure. 

Recovery and Military Assessment

• The Tekuma Administration reported over 1,000 projects completed in the Gaza border region, with 92% of displaced residents returning and the population reaching 65,000. 

• Four remaining communities (Holit, Kfar Aza, Be’eri, Nir Oz) are scheduled to return between 2026 and 2027. 

• IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir stated the military is at a “significant and strategic crossroads,” marking 1,000 days of continuous combat since the invasion. 

When such times meet together at a crossroads – surely The Creator has enclosed a message within. When people turn to Him to ask, this could be a new step in the relationship.
