16 Jan 2024, Samaria: Remember the red cows which appeared in Israel recently and were displayed during Sukkot? Well now Hamas claims that they were a threat to the mosque in Jerusalem – and thus, one reason for the Oct 7 attack.
I wonder – did the people of Gaza get a vote in this decision?

14 Jan 2024, Samaria: Israel’s rebuttal at The Hague: ‘If there were acts of genocide they have been perpetrated against us.’
Time to point out that intention is a crucial element of what constitutes genocide. Hamas has written their intent to kill all the Israelis. This has been made clear in the Hamas Charter as well as in their many public announcements.
Israel has no intent to kill all the Gazans. Israel has stated publicly its intent to stop Hamas from governing and to bring Hamas to justice for their actions. If one tries to argue that Israel has a hidden intent to wipe out all Gazans, I say: Israel has that capability, but it cannot be the intent since the population keeps rising in Gaza.
Fair to say that Israel’s publicly stated intention is accurate. Hamas’ publicly stated intent – to genocide all the Israelis – is also accurate.
9 Jan 2024, Samaria: The Qatari PM says that Israel’s assassination of a top Hamas leader really complicates the hostage deal.
Manipulate much, Qatar?
Jerusalem Post, 8 Jan 2024 pg 1.
So, what have we learned here from these Qatar statements?
Qatar/Hamas says: “We’re not very happy that Israel keeps retaliating against us for what we did. We would prefer them to just be quiet and let us kill them without any difficulty.”
USA: “I don’t think Israel is gonna go for that. Can you sweeten the deal a bit?”
Israel: “They’re basically offering to kill fewer of us now, and then more of us later, if we just quit right away.”
Qatar/Hamas says: “Exactly! Look, we didn’t kill every Israeli we could grab on Oct 7. We left a few alive with us so we could use them later to manipulate you. Just stop retaliating, or else we’ll have to kill the hostages.”
USA: “See, Israel? These guys are really trying to reach a compromise here.”
Israel: “They’re probably lying about whether the hostages are even still alive. We’ve still got more Hamas leaders’ names on this list here…”
Qatar/Hamas: “USA, make them stop!”
Israel: “…so while we work on that, we will just keep searching for our hostages without any of your ‘help,’ thanks.”
USA: “Well, this was a waste. Maybe we need to threaten Israel somehow, hmmm, let’s see about that.”
Qatar/Hamas: “Stop them from developing defensive systems.”
USA: “But, we need those too. That’s a part of the deal.”
Qatar/Hamas: “Just make them stop! It’s not fair that they can just retaliate like this.”

2024-01-03, Samaria: Antisemitism at Harvard University did not start with recently resigned President Claudine Gay, who was sharply criticized for antisemitic remarks in a Congressional hearing: Back in Hitler’s day, Harvard helped Nazi Germany:
Screen grab from Times of Israel, 3 Jan 2024.
Clip from the article: “What today’s Harvard administration has in common with its predecessor in the 1930s is its reluctance to reject an evil regime and its supporters,” said Medoff, director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies.
Presidents from Penn, MIT, and Harvard universities each testified before Congress in December 2023. They met beforehand, and their language and messages were exactly the same. Penn president, Elizabeth Magill, and the chairman of the Penn board of trustees, Scott L. Bok were the first to resign after backlash for their antisemitic comments. MIT president Sally Kornbluth is also under pressure to resign since she would not say whether it is a violation of the school’s policy for students to call for intifada or for genocide of Jews:

Blogs like Times of Israel count today (Jan 1) as Day 87 because of up-to-the-hour reporting, while Jerusalem Post calls it the 86th day of war because they close for “press time” the day before the paper is delivered. To add to the complexity, the Jewish Calendar is loosely based upon the Biblical Calendar; and neither has any January 1 at all, as the new year is the First of Aviv in the springtime, and the harvest year is at the start of the 7th month, which is in the autumn (Leviticus 23, Deuteronomy 16).
29 Dec 2023, Samaria: But one thing Hamas wants to make clear: Iran and Hezbollah better not claim, ever, that they told Hamas what to do and when to do that massacre. Hamas wants ALL the credit for its war crimes. It also wants rulership over the unified “palestinian state” which is proposed by the USA.

Believers among the nations: Pray that no “two state solution” is devised. Despite all fantasies in the West, Arabs would never use it for humanitarian purposes. It is a “divide and conquer” plan to erase the Jewish state.

Regarding that paragraph in my red box; It’s important to remember that in open and democratic societies, our enemies have easy access to everything the society does in public. All of the discussions and protests are under the watchful eyes of the enemies.
