23 Nov 2023, Samaria: Thanksgiving is here and the hostage deal is delayed; government officials close to the negotiations say the deal won’t be closed before tomorrow. Any deal is suspect anyway – who would trust Hamas to keep any promises? At any rate, we can see from the article below that because of what Hamas did on Oct 7, the sole peaceful civilian bridge between Israel and Gaza – where twenty thousand Gaza workers passed every day to and from jobs in Israel – has become a war zone thanks to Hamas.
Excerpt from Times of Israel, captured Nov 23, 2023: “The sole avenue of coexistence that became a Hamas killing field: Gaza workers used to pass through Erez. So did medical patients, diplomats, UN personnel. Then terrorists struck. Reservists, including a Google staffer from Denver, show ToI around.”
The Wagner Group has been found to have provided military training for Hamas in its year-long preparation for the Oct 7 sneak attack on Israel.
Now we see that the US State department has conducted their own intelligence investigation and found the same, and that Wagner Group also works with the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen who have been attacking Israeli and USA forces in the Middle East for a month.

In early 2021, the incoming Biden administration removed the Houthis from the list of terrorist organizations. They now will consider reversing that decision. The State Department now believes that the Wagner Group is arming Hezb’Allah or Iran in their wars against The Jews.
Interesting that the Kremlin hates Muslims when it comes to Uighurs or people of Chechnya, but happily unites with Muslims against Jews.

21 Nov 2023, Samaria: A bit of Jewish American kindness and birthday wishes mixed with sarcasm–for all that Pres. Biden has done to promote peace in the world. H/t to Emily Austin, appearing on the Gutfeld! show on Fox:

21 Nov, 2023, Samaria: That missile alert last night at five minutes past 6 pm reached me in Samaria, in the nation’s Center. And yet that somehow coincided with advances that the IDF had made in norther Gaza. Meanwhile, IDF troops at the Lebanon and Syria borders are dealing with snowfall at those elevations.

So does this mean that missiles are fired from southern Gaza, or from uncontrolled parts of northern Gaza? I bet the IDF is well aware of the answer. The Iron Dome system spots the origin of the rockets, and mathematically discovers their trajectory in order to eliminate them midair.
20 Nov 2024, Samaria: Large segments of the world are currently getting their news from TikTok, an app controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The app is near to being banned in the USA.

20 Nov 2023, Samaria: A warning: How the anti-Israel fuse could be ignited any moment in Judea and Samaria:
Haaretz, Nov 16 2023.
Judea and Samaria: The nations seek to strip the place of its Biblical significance by its misnomer, “west bank.” Since 1967, Judea and Samaria are now home to 500,000 Israeli Jews and 2 million Arabs; the Arab popullation answers to the PA (PLO) civil law and Israeli Military courts.
In the past 2 years leading up to the massacre of Oct 7, Arab violence against Jews in Judea and Samaria was increasing; in fact, swaths of the Israeli government were led to believe that this was the main concern, and that Hamas rule in Gaza was no longer interested in attacking Israel; Hamas fostered this false belief by not siding with Gaza’s “number 2 organization,” Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s (PIJ) constant missile attacks against Israel.
17 Nov 2023, Samaria: 6 Hamas operatives were among the 21 Palestinian suspects arrested overnight in Judea & Samaria (West bank).

Even as missiles still fall in the south and in the north, and frontline battles continue in Gaza and at the Lebanon & Syria border, here in Samaria and Judea, parts of the 2 million Arabs here are continuing their war against their half-million Jewish neighbors also in the west bank.
16 Nov 2023, Samaria: It’s rumored that some American Jews fled from Israel on planes – only to be greeted by such antisemites at the US airports thta they turned around and went right back to Israel, saying it’s safer there.
Excerpt from “A tipping point for North American aliyah?” Jerusalem Post, 16 Nov 2023, pg 9.
The Oct 7 attack on Jewish civilians wasn’t a response to Israel being cruel to Palestinians. It is a reminded that unprovoked antisemitic barbarity can rise at any moment – and Jews need to be ready.
16 Nov 2023, Samaria: As Turkey falsely calls Israel a terror state, Netanyahu retorts, “Don’t lecture us.”
Jerusalem Post, 16 Nov 2023, pg 1.
Continuation of above article, pg 7.
Turkey harbors several Hamas leaders, and disagrees with the “terror organization” label given to Hamas by some Arab states and most of Europe.
In other words, Erdogan calls good evil, and evil good.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isa 5:20 AV).
Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. (Prov 14:22 AV).
