Dear Parents: Disagree in private, not in front of the kids.
Dear Friends: Please, disagree in private, not in front of the broad circle.
Business deal-makers: Disagree in private, not in front of your competition.
Nations who need things from each other: Disagree in private, not in front of the TV cameras.
Allies: See above.
Jerusalem Post, 11 March 2025 pg 9.
When separate entities show their disagreements to the public, there must be some hidden agenda present, which ultimately undermines the goals of the union.
Nova massacre survivor Yuval Raphael won the “Rising Star” singing competition on Israeli TV. She was at the Nova Festival during the massacre on Oct 7, 2023, and survived by staying at the bottom of a pile of dead bodies in an Israeli bomb shelter, being shot up by Gazans. She waited there for 8 hours before being rescued.
Lyrics in English, French, and Hebrew (Song of Solomon 8:7): And even if you say goodbye You’ll never go away You are the rainbow of my sky My colors in the grey My only wish upon a star sunshine in the day The only song that my piano ever plays
And even if you say goodbye you’ll always be around To lift me up and take me high keep my feet close to the ground Are you proud of me tonight dreams are coming true I choose the light Nothing to lose if I lose you
New day will rise Life will go on Everyone cries Don’t cry alone Darkness will fade All the pain will go by But we will stay Even if You say goodbye
Et même si tu dis adieu Tu ne partiras jamais T’es l’arc-en-ciel de mon ciel bleu Mes couleurs dans le gris Et mon seul souhait sous un ciel d’art Un rayon dans ma journée La seule chanson que mon piano peut jouer
New day will rise Life will go on Everyone cries Don’t cry alone Darkness will fade All the pain will go by But we will stay Even You say
New day will rise Life will go on Everyone cries Don’t cry alone Darkness will fade All the pain will go by But You will stay The love of my life
מים רבים לא יכבו את האהבה ונהרות לא ישטפוה
New day will rise Everyone cries Don’t cry alone Darkness will fade All the pain will go by But we will stay Even if You say goodbye
A new day will rise New day will rise

Hebrew lyric:
Manywaters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. (Song of Songs 8:7, KJV)
The West confirmed a crushing defeat against Japan in 1945, and Japan has lived peacefully in the world ever since.
Proposal: do the same regarding Gaza, but without nuclear weapons

Palestinians believe it’s only a matter of time before Jews run away. Jews say, “You have many places to go, we have none.”
Jerusalem Post, 9 Mar 2025 pg 9.
Europe would prefer the Egypt and Hamas plan, which leaves Gazans in place to torment Jews indefinitely, and no mention of the fact that rebuilding is impossible with the Gazan population in place.
As talks for prisoner exchanges break down, Egypt and the Arab world propose a Gaza solution which Hamas accepts and the USA outright rejects, so now Israel must prepare socially and militarily for Houthi missiles once again:
Two Muslim nurses were caught on video camera explaining that if any Jews came into their care in an Australian hospital, they would murder them.
Jerusalem Post, captured on 5 March 2025.
They were both suspended around 13 Feb, 2025. Now, a week ago, Australian nurse Sarah Abu Lebdeh (26) was charged with threatening violence to a group, using a carriage service to threaten to kill, and using a carriage service to menace.
Now, Ahmad Rashad Nadir (27) has similarly been charged with possession of a prohibited drug, as well as with using a carriage service to menace. Nadir said in the video recording, “You have no idea how many Israeli s**t dogs came to this hospital, and I sent them to hell.”
With video recorded statements like that, I wonder whether these two will be charged with murder. That would depend upon what evidence is found in the investigation.
Trump is now the first President in history to negotiate directly with Hamas, which was designated a terrorist group in the 90’s. USA negotiators are in Doha speaking directly with Hamas leaders. State Department head Marc Rubio says to Hamas, “Believe him: he’s serious.”

I’m thankful for the refreshing pro-Israel stance, and a can-do attitude from the new presidential cabinet.
High school teenager Yahli Gur, 17, has died from her wounds, leaving behind three younger siblings. Last week a Palestinian illegally living in Israel, rammed his car into a bus stop full of people. This goes against the narrative that terrorists are young, with no wife or kids. This guy was 53, wife, kids, (Arab Israeli), and he gave it all up for the sake of the hopeless cause.
The IDF continues operations against Hamas in Jenin, also in Samaria (Shomron).
In Judea, terrorist homes were demolished in the Palestinian section of Hebron.
Noam Tibon drove his private car there from Tel Aviv with his private sidearm in an effort to save his son, son’s wife and children. He volunteered without being called up by the IDF.
Yarden Bibas, survived over 500 days as a Prisoner of War in Gaza, only to return and eventually find out that his wife Shiri (32) and boys Ariel and Kfir had been slaughtered in captivity by Gazans who used their bare hands. Yarden sent a letter to Netanyahu, delivered during the Knesset session yesterday. See below:

Bereaved parents were also violently prevented from entering the Knesset observation gallery. Some parents were injured in the scuffle, while others were eventually allowed into the sound-proof observation room, called the gallery.
The Israeli Knesset was modeled after the British style of Parliament, and both have plenty of shouting and arguing between their parliament members. Evidently if the public gallery were not soundproofed, the shouting from the public would be so disruptive that the Knesset members would not be able to hear one anothers’ shouting.
The people of Israel do demand a commission of State Inquiry into the failures of Oct 7. However, there are plenty of Israeli politicians who would like to use that commission to further their own personal political goals. Netanyahu’s stance is that such a commission must be balanced, not partisan. As Bibi sees it, the retired judge who would appoint the commission is a partisan leftist, given that the judicial system has not yet been reformed. Of course the existing judicial system, while leftist, itself believes that it should always remain as such.
On the one hand, I’m not impressed by the accusations from Knesset Member Lapid against Netanyahu. It’s the same anti-Right tone as before the war, and Lapid stands to gain politically. On the other hand, I’m not impressed with Netanyahu for refusing to acknowledge the letter from Yarden Bibas, a grieving father who “failed” to protect his family using one single gun. This casts Netanyahu in a bad light, as if he himself has his own petty political aims just like so many of the others. And yet, he does have a point: what’s the use of a state commission that is unbalanced and used as a weapon against the majority political movement in the nation?
Another point remains: The head of the Shin Bet (Security Service) failed to wake Netanyahu when he knew an attack had begun. Lapid, blaming THAT on Netanyahu, seems petty for it.
Bereaved parents, invited to the Knesset observation gallery, were beaten by guards. Yarden Bibas, bereaved husband and father, and surviving POW, sent a letter which was read aloud. It’s hard to say what are the motives of the politicians involved – how much do they want “truth” and “justice” and how much do they want to preserve or advance their careers? Prayer for Israel is requested.
