14 Nov, 2023, Samaria: The 27 nations of the EU signed an agreement condemning Hamas’ use of hospitals for military purposes:
Nov 13, 2023, Samaria: Israel does not want to commit genocide against anyone. Not Arabs, not Muslims, not Christians; no one.
Until the world recovered from the Hitler shock and what the occupiers had done, the language had no need for the word genocide. So, Raphael Lemkin coined the word in 1944, in “Axis Rule in Occupied Europe.”
It’s not that Jew-hatred never existed before that; just that its scale and methodology had never required a word.
As Churchill pointed out, when the Mongols invaded Europe in the 16-century, they used a merciless and methodical butchering on a massive scale. Hitler was the first since the Mongols to exercise murder of innocents at such scale – and so, the word was coined.
What a shame and an insult to turn that word into an accusation against the Jews. If not for Jewish suffering – would the word ever have come into existence?
Two hundred and forty hostages from 30 different nations are still held by Hamas in Gaza. Most of the world behaves as if this is acceptable; Are they victim-blaming the Jews?
9 Nov 2023, Samaria: In 1965 under Egyptian occupation of Gaza, an ancient synagogue was discovered in dating back to 508 AD. At first, Egyption archeologists assumed it was a church, but upon further research, they agreed it was a synagogue. The mosaic tile floor had artwork with David written in Hebrew, with a picture of David playing what appears to be a psaltery, with docile animals nearby.
After discovery, the Arabs of Gaza defaced the mosaic, so following the Six Days’ War of 1967, it was removed from that location to be restored at the Israel Museum.
“Nowadays, visitors can marvel at the mosaic floor of the synagogue in the Museum of the Good Samaritan, located near the Jerusalem-Jericho Road close to the Israeli settlement of Ma’ale Adumim. One of the most renowned panels in the mosaic floor portrays King David, identified by a Hebrew inscription reading ‘David,’ as he plays the lyre with a gathering of docile wild animals before him.” Source: Jerusalem Post: https://www.jpost.com/judaism/article-772218

12 Nov 2023, Samaria: In a joint venture, the Conference of the Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations will unite, for once, with the Jewish Federations of North America to support Israel’s self defensive war.
Up to 60,000 people are expected to attend, according to a National Park Service application.
12 Nov 2023, Samaria: When legit tyrants kill hundreds of thousands of people, the streets are empty.
The streets only fill when Jews dare to defend themselves against genocide.
It’s almost as if the protesters approve of tyranny and only complain when it’s opposed.
12 Nov 2023, Samaria: IDF soldiers fully armed, question, inspect, and photograph each bus as it approaches the line. This is after these buses have already passed the checkpoint to even enter the town.
A local school lets out while seven schoolbuses wait in line.This is during wartime, and is in addition to the 24/7/365 checkpoint at the entrance and the school security guards.
12 Nov 2023, Samaria: Weekend arrests: IDF and Shin Bet secret service arrested 19 suspected terrorists, including 9 Hamas members.
Second article: Arab Israelis feel more connected to Israel during wartime. I guess they appreciate the protection Israel offers.
What a complicated region!
If it were simple, there would not need to be a war.
Nov 12, 2023, Samaria: The below would be more accurately titled, “The ceasefire explained,” but for now I’ll leave it just as I found it:
When Israelis defend themselves, it makes it awfully difficult for Hamas.
7 Nov 2023, Samaria: It’s not just a Western thing when college students protest silly things. In this case, the students may be Arab Israelis, but not necessarily.
In the Middle East, Arabs may be grouped into four categories:
1. Arabs of the nations other than Israel, such as Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, the UAE, and many others.
2. Arab Israelis who vote in Israeli elections, pay Israeli taxes, receive Israeli benefits, and have representatives in all levels of society including the Knesset (parliament) and the High Court.
3. Arab Palestinians who live in Israel but are governed by the PA (the PLO, aka Palestinian Authority), living in the disputed territories.
4. Arab Palestinians whose government had a bloody coup against the PA and established their Hamas government instead. These are in Gaza, a part of Egypt up until 1967, but now an enclave within Israel. Israel ended the occupation in 2005.
To be pro-Hamas in 2023 is not like being pro-Hitler in 1938; it’s akin being pro-Hitler in 1951 or 1971, long after the proof of the atrocities he committed is very well-known. Even in 1988 the founding charter of Hamas had been published, stating its mission: genocide all the Jews.
Obviously, neither Israel nor Jews practice genocide; otherwise, the population of Gaza would not have grown from 1.4 million in 2005 up to 2.3 million in 2023. The PA Arabs in the disputed territory and the Arab Israelis also have normal population growth.
Hopefully, this background explanation will help make sense of articles like this one at the top, and oppose the lies. In reality, Israel has no apartheid; it is inclusive of all races. While many of the PA Arabs were offered Israeli citizenship yet refused, in reality, Arab Israelis are found in every level of Israeli society.
