POST ELECTION SURPRISE WAR HITS ISRAEL AT SEA
Show notes
While Israelis remain focused on the dramatic aftermath of the Israeli elections, another potentially significant security story unfolded at sea, and almost nobody is talking about it.A container ship operating in the service of Israeli shipping company ZIM, traveling from Haifa toward Romania, was reportedly struck by maritime drones in the Black Sea off Bulgaria. The vessel was severely damaged and sank. Thank God, all 18 crew members were reportedly rescued safely.Who was behind the attack? Was the ship deliberately targeted because of its connection to Israel? Those questions require investigation.But the larger warning should not be ignored.The Israeli election may be over, but Israel's enemies and the rapidly changing threats around us have not disappeared.For three years, Israel has been fighting an unprecedented multi-front war involving Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen and other arenas. Now maritime security and international shipping routes are increasingly becoming part of the battlefield.At the same time, Israelis are consumed by coalition negotiations, political divisions and the future composition of the government.We cannot allow politics to blind us to the strategic challenges developing around us.October 7th taught us the terrible price of ignoring warning signs.Israel must remain strong, vigilant and prepared, on our borders, inside our country, in the skies and at sea.The election is behind us.The threats are not.And whatever government ultimately emerges, its first responsibility must remain the same: protecting the Jewish State and the Jewish people.

Israel Election Update #3 Plot Twist
Show notes
For years, Israelis have heard endless accusations about Qatargate and alleged Qatari connections surrounding Netanyahu. But now, following Israel's latest elections, an entirely different Qatar controversy is emerging.Did foreign money originating in Qatar attempt to influence Israel's elections?Israel's Central Elections Committee chairman, Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg, has instructed Shin Bet chief David Zini to investigate serious suspicions of improper foreign influence and possible election bribery. Israeli media have reported that Qatar may be involved, including allegations of funding intended to influence voter mobilization in Arab communities.The investigation is ongoing.But the political irony is extraordinary!After years of political battles over Qatargate, Israel may now be confronting allegations of foreign interference in its own democratic process.What happens if investigators uncover illegal foreign financing? Could the findings have political or legal consequences? Could Israel be forced to reconsider how it protects its democratic institutions?And beyond the immediate political controversy, there is a much bigger question: How does a Jewish democracy protect itself against those who would exploit its freedoms while undermining its existence?In this video, I examine the emerging allegations, the political implications, the questions Israelis must confront, and why I believe we should look at these developments through a deeper spiritual perspective.I cannot predict what the investigation will uncover. But I believe Israel must face the truth, defend its democracy, strengthen its national identity and never lose faith in God.Sometimes what looks like a political crisis can become a national wake-up call.God has a sense of humor. And the story of Israel is far from over!AM YISRAEL CHAI!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

The Election Is Over—Now Watch What Is Happening in Syria
Show notes
While Israelis focus on coalition negotiations following the election, we cannot lose sight of the growing danger across our northern border.Jihadist forces in Syria have released a propaganda video depicting a future invasion of Israel’s Golan Heights. Alongside anti-Israel demonstrations, weapons training and increasingly threatening rhetoric in southern Syria, the message demands serious attention.We have seen this pattern before.Before October 7, Israel’s security establishment repeatedly assured the public that Hamas could be contained, deterred and managed. Israel relied upon defensive barriers, economic incentives and international understandings.October 7 exposed the catastrophic cost of that failed October 6 conception.Israel must not repeat the same mistake in Syria.The IDF cannot withdraw from strategically essential territory and once again place Israeli families behind international promises and guarantees. Israel must retain the freedom and territorial depth necessary to prevent jihadist forces from assembling another October 7-style invasion force near our communities.This must also shape Israel’s next government.Gadi Eisenkot has advocated eventually withdrawing Israeli forces from Syria and relying upon international guarantees. But after everything Israel has experienced, we can never entrust Jewish lives to promises from outside powers.During the Gaza war, Eisenkot also pressed to end the fighting before Israel conquered Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor, eliminated Yahya Sinwar and dramatically weakened Hezbollah and Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.Israel still has a war to win.The next government must be broad enough to govern but united around one essential objective: defeating Israel’s enemies, protecting Jewish lives and finishing the war rather than stopping halfway.Our enemies continue telling us exactly what they intend to do. This time, Israel must believe them, and ensure they never receive the opportunity.God is pushing the Jewish people to abandon dangerous illusions, reclaim responsibility for our security and strengthen our presence throughout our ancestral homeland.Watch what is happening in Syria.

Israel Elections Update #2: Netanyahu Beat Them, Again
Show notes
The final Israeli election results are still being counted, but one conclusion is already becoming clear: after years of investigations, relentless negative media coverage and accusations surrounding October 7, the political Left still failed to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu among Jewish Israeli voters.This was arguably the most favorable election environment Israel’s Left could have imagined.The campaign transformed the painful issue of the ultra-Orthodox draft into a political weapon intended to divide Israel’s nationalist camp. Frustrated right-wing voters were encouraged to abandon Likud and Israel’s other right-wing parties, or remain home entirely.Yet despite everything invested in removing Netanyahu, the Israeli Left still lacks a clear path to power without relying upon anti-Zionist Arab parties.Now comes an extraordinary contradiction.The election is barely over, yet voices on the Left are reportedly discussing whether to compromise on their previously nonnegotiable demands regarding Haredi military service to attract the ultra-Orthodox parties.If the draft was truly the defining moral issue of this election, how did it become negotiable immediately afterward?Meanwhile, Gadi Eisenkot delivered what sounded like a victory speech, while Yair Golan promoted forming a government with Arab political parties. Instead of asking why so many Jewish Israelis continue rejecting their worldview, the Left appears to be searching for a mathematical path around the Jewish electorate.Blind opposition to Netanyahu is not a governing vision. Neither is weaponizing genuine social problems or dividing the Jewish people for electoral gain.Netanyahu will eventually leave politics. But Israel’s Jewish population remains overwhelmingly Zionist, increasingly connected to Jewish identity and committed to maintaining Israel as a strong Jewish state.Any movement seeking to govern Israel must first understand the people who live here.The count is not finished, and Israel may not receive an ideal government. But don’t lose sight of the larger story.Strengthen your faith. Great days remain ahead.Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Israel Election Update #1: Netanyahu Is Still Very Much Alive
Show notes
Reporting from Likud headquarters on Israeli election night, Avi Abelow explains why nobody should believe the headlines declaring Benjamin Netanyahu defeated.Israel’s mainstream television channels—Kan 11, Channel 12 and Channel 13—released exit polls projecting a dramatic setback for Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc. His political opponents immediately began celebrating.But Channel 14’s Shlomo “Momo” Filber presented a radically different projection. His initial exit poll gave Netanyahu’s bloc 60 seats.That enormous discrepancy demonstrates why exit polls are not election results.Hundreds of thousands of double-envelope ballots, including votes from IDF soldiers, had yet to be counted. Soldiers have historically voted disproportionately for parties on Israel’s Right, meaning the final result could look very different from the early mainstream-media narrative.This election also raises major questions about Israel’s future: Did the campaign surrounding the Haredi draft successfully divide the nationalist camp? Will Gadi Eisenkot attempt to form a government dependent upon anti-Zionist Arab parties? Could Netanyahu rebuild a right-wing and religious coalition? And will Israel’s next government continue strengthening Jewish sovereignty, confronting the unelected establishment and pursuing victory over Israel’s enemies?The high Arab turnout also demolishes the “apartheid Israel” lie. Arab citizens vote freely, elect Knesset representatives and can exercise enormous influence over who becomes prime minister. The real question is whether anti-Zionist parties should determine the Jewish state’s national-security policies.Nobody should celebrate or despair before all the votes are counted.And ultimately, something remains bigger than Netanyahu, Eisenkot or 61 Knesset seats: God runs the world.Strengthen your faith. The Jewish people have experienced miracles far greater than any election result.

For Decades We Voted Right and Got Left. That Finally Changed.
Show notes
For decades, right-wing Israelis complained: we voted Right, but received Left.Netanyahu was prime minister for many years, but much of that time was spent playing defense, fighting enormous international pressure for a Palestinian terror state while confronting powerful legal, bureaucratic, military and intelligence institutions resistant to many policies right-wing Israelis repeatedly voted to implement.Then something changed.Over the past four years, the Israeli Right finally began to govern.Smotrich helped dramatically expand Jewish development in Judea and Samaria. Ben-Gvir transformed conditions for security prisoners and expanded civilian firearms licensing. Levin and Rothman pushed judicial reform from an election slogan into an actual battle over the balance of power between elected officials and unelected institutions.Then October 7 shattered Israel’s failed security concept.Israel began moving from containing jihadi enemies toward defeating them. Netanyahu resisted enormous international and domestic pressure to stop the war, while the government began confronting fundamental questions about the relationship between Israel’s elected leadership and its security establishment.Has everything been accomplished?Not even close.Hamas must never again threaten Jewish lives. All jihadis must be deported from Gaza. Judicial reform remains unfinished. The ultra-Orthodox draft issue requires a sustainable solution. Israel must continue strengthening sovereignty, settlement and security.But that is precisely the point.After decades of demanding change, why would right-wing voters abandon that change because it hasn’t happened fast enough?The choice is not between this government and perfection. The choice is between two fundamentally different directions for Israel.Do we continue dismantling the failed assumptions exposed on October 7, strengthening Jewish sovereignty and reforming institutions?Or do we return to withdrawals, international guarantees, economic incentives for our enemies and the failed thinking of October 6?We have sacrificed too much and learned too much to turn back now.Have faith in God. Take responsibility. Vote for Israel’s future.Am Yisrael Chai! Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

This Israeli Government Has Achieved the Impossible. Now Let Them Finish the Job
Show notes
Israel has been through three of the most difficult years in our modern history. But before Israelis go to the voting booths and vote out of anger or frustration, we must stop and recognize something extraordinary:Look at what this Israeli government has actually accomplished.Netanyahu faced enormous international pressure, disagreements with Israel’s own security establishment and repeated demands to end the war. Yet Israel kept fighting, devastated much of Hamas’s military infrastructure and dramatically changed the regional balance of power.Bezalel Smotrich helped transform the reality in Judea and Samaria, advancing more than 100 new communities and approximately 160 farms while strengthening Jewish presence in our biblical heartland. And as finance minister, he helped navigate Israel’s economy to be one of the strongest economies in the world through the extraordinary costs of a prolonged, multi-front war.Itamar Ben-Gvir transformed policies toward terrorist prisoners, dramatically expanded civilian firearms licensing after October 7 and helped advance an unprecedented reality in which Jews are increasingly able to pray openly on the Temple Mount.Is everything perfect? Absolutely not.Hamas must no longer be capable of threatening Jewish lives. The burden of defending Israel must be addressed. Judicial reform must continue. Israel must strengthen its sovereignty and security throughout the Land of Israel.But people should not become so focused on what hasn’t yet been accomplished, or anger at the Ultra-Ortgodox draft issue, that they ignore what has been accomplished.These elections are about the direction Israel takes from here.Do we continue transforming Israel from a country that contains threats and constantly seeks international approval into a strong, sovereign Jewish state capable of defending itself and defeating its enemies?Or do we turn back?Netanyahu. Smotrich. Ben-Gvir.Israelis should choose whichever best represents their priorities based on understanding what is at stake.They haven’t finished the job. Let them finish it.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

They Are The Enemy
Show notes
President Trump recently sent another important message: Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas was barred from entering New York for the UN General Assembly.And the reasons matter.The Trump administration has called out the Palestinian Authority and PLO over their international campaign against Israel, their pursuit of unilateral Palestinian statehood, payments connected to terrorists and their families, incitement and failure to implement promised reforms.Thank you, President Trump.But now comes the question Israel must finally confront:If the Palestinian Authority supports and glorifies terror, and Israel is preparing for the possibility that PA security forces could turn their weapons against Israelis and the IDF, why are we still pretending the PA is a potential “peace partner”?Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have reportedly instructed the IDF to prepare for a scenario in which PA and Tanzim forces turn their guns on Israel.Think about that.Israel is preparing for the possibility of fighting the very Palestinian Authority the international community still wants to empower.Enough pretending.The Palestinian Authority is not merely a failed peace partner. Israel must recognize the threat it poses and formulate policy accordingly.More than half a million Jews live in Judea and Samaria. Most of Israeli population is within miles of the Arab cities in Judea and Samaria. Our lives cannot depend upon diplomatic fantasies created during the Oslo era.Hamas is not the only threat Israel faces.Israel must confront our jihadist enemy, their terror, incitement and armed threats wherever they come from, while building a future of Israeli sovereignty and security throughout Judea and Samaria.I remain optimistic because the Jewish people are waking up. Reality eventually destroys even the most deeply entrenched illusions.Say the truth. Name the enemy. Protect Jewish lives.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

The Battle for the American Right: Why Is Anti-Israel Sentiment Growing?
Show notes
Something significant is happening inside the American conservative movement, and Israelis and Jews around the world need to understand it.I spoke with Matt Peterson at Yoram Hazony’s National Conservatism Conference in Jerusalem for an important deep-dive conversation about the growing anti-Israel sentiment, and, in some circles, outright Jew-hating antisemitism, emerging on parts of the American right.For decades, many Jews assumed that support for Israel from American conservatives was rock solid. But the political landscape is changing.Why are some younger conservatives questioning America’s relationship with Israel? How much of this shift is legitimate criticism of American foreign policy, and where does it cross the line into demonization of Israel or antisemitism? What role are influencers, social media, isolationism and the evolving “America First” movement playing?And perhaps most importantly: How should Israel respond?Matt Peterson and I dig into the ideological battle taking place inside the American right and why Israelis cannot afford to dismiss it. And how Israel today actually represents much of what conservative Americans believe it, but are misinformed. Israel should never base its survival on popularity in Washington, or anywhere else. A sovereign Jewish state must make decisions according to the security and national interests of the Jewish people.But America remains Israel’s most important ally, and understanding the forces reshaping American conservatism matters.This conversation is not about attacking conservatives. Quite the opposite. It is about understanding a serious debate taking place within a movement that has historically been strongly supportive of Israel and confronting dangerous trends before they become mainstream.Watch this conversation. Share it with Americans and Israelis. This is a debate we need to understand now.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Israel’s Judicial Reform Was NOT Defeated — Moshe Koppel Explains What Changed
Show notes
Was Israel’s judicial reform really stopped or did Israel change far more than most people realize?I spoke with Prof. Moshe Koppel, chairman of the Kohelet Policy Forum, one of the most influential intellectual forces behind Israel’s conservative policy movement, for a fascinating conversation about what actually happened to judicial reform and what comes next.The massive protest movement attempted to stop the reform process. Then the October 7 massacre and the ensuing war transformed Israel’s national agenda.But the story did not end there.Moshe Koppel explains what was actually accomplished, what institutional and political changes have already taken place, what remains unfinished, and why Israel’s upcoming elections could be critical for the future balance between the elected government, the judiciary and the legal establishment.We also discuss the deeper political changes taking place within Israeli society and the growing importance of national conservatism not only in Israel, but throughout the Western world.With another major National Conservatism Conference bringing together thinkers, policymakers and political leaders, what does national conservatism actually mean? Why is it gaining strength? And what can Israel contribute to a broader movement emphasizing national sovereignty, tradition, democratic accountability and Western civilization?This conversation goes far beyond one judicial reform bill.It is about who governs Israel, how Israeli democracy should function, what Israelis will be voting for in the upcoming elections, and what kind of Jewish state we leave to the next generation.Watch this important conversation with Moshe Koppel and share it with anyone who wants to understand where Israel is heading.Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Israeli Political Candidate ATTACKED by Palestinian Mob in Judea & Samaria!
Show notes
An Israeli political candidate was attacked by Palestinian stone-throwers in Judea and Samaria, and she is refusing to back down.Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, a candidate for Ofer Winter's Amcha Yisrael party and a prominent advocate for Israel internationally, was traveling through the Binyamin region with social media influencers and international opinion leaders when their vehicle came under attack.During a tour organized in cooperation with the Regavim movement, the group was leaving the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya when several Palestinians surrounded their vehicle and began hurling stones and other objects.A window was shattered, and several participants reportedly suffered minor injuries.But Hassan-Nahoum's response was unequivocal: *"Palestinian terrorism will not deter us."*This incident raises serious questions about security, freedom of movement, and the continuing threat of Palestinian violence in the Jewish heartland.Why is it so important for international influencers to see the reality of Judea and Samaria firsthand? And what does this attack reveal about the challenges Israel continues to face?Watch, share, and join the conversation.

Why America’s Right Is Turning Against Israel and the Jews
Show notes
Why America’s Right Is Turning Against Israel and the JewsSomething very important is happening on the American conservative right, and Israelis need to understand it.At Yoram Hazony’s National Conservatism conference in Jerusalem, I sat down with Amanda Milius and Jonathan Keeperman, two Jewish Americans who were invited to Israel to help explain the growing divide over Israel within parts of the American conservative movement.For decades, Israel could count on strong support from conservative Christians and the American right. Today, however, anti-Israel sentiment, and in some circles outright Jew-hating antisemitism, is gaining traction among voices that identify with the conservative right.Why is this happening? What are these Americans hearing about Israel? Why are some younger conservatives increasingly questioning the U.S.-Israel relationship? And, most importantly, what can Israel and the Jewish people do about it?I believe this was one of the most important discussions for Israelis to hear at NatCon.Because there is another side to this story that gives me tremendous hope.The Jews of Israel today actually embody so many of the values conservative Americans cherish: faith, family, patriotism, national sovereignty, military service, tradition, community, having children, defending the freedom-loving world, and refusing to apologize for loving our nation.And increasingly, Israelis don't want to continue receiving US aid. We want a relationship between two strong, sovereign allies based on shared interests, shared values, trade, technology and mutual benefit, not dependency.The problem is that millions of Americans have absolutely no idea.Too often, Israel is presented to Americans only through war, politics, foreign aid, the distorted lens of the mainstream media and the voices of progressive Jews in America. They don't see the incredible Jewish society being rebuilt in our ancestral homeland, or an Israeli public increasingly interested in greater independence and sovereignty.That means Israel has work to do.Instead of simply complaining that support for Israel is declining, we must understand why and start communicating directly with Americans about who Israelis actually are and what Israel represents.Watch this important conversation with Amanda Milius and Jonathan Keeperman from NatCon in Jerusalem, and share it with anyone concerned about the future of the U.S.-Israel relationship.

Jeremy Boreing in Jerusalem: Rising Jew-Hating Antisemitism and the Red-green alliance
Show notes
Jeremy Boreing came to Jerusalem, Israel, to speak at Yoram Hazony’s National Conservatism Conference, and it was a pleasure meeting him in person and having this important conversation about Israel, America, the conservative movement, Candace Owens, the red-green alliance and the disturbing rise of Jew-hating antisemitism on the right in America.Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire and host of the Jeremy Boreing show, has been one of the influential voices in American conservative media. From Jerusalem, we discussed a critical question facing conservatives today: What is happening to the American right when it comes to Jews and Israel?For years, we have watched Jew-hating antisemitism spread through the radical left and the red-green alliance between radical progressive movements and radical Islamists. But today, Jew-hating antisemitism is also becoming increasingly visible among elements of the political right.We specifically discussed Candace Owens, her break with The Daily Wire, the rhetoric surrounding Jews and Israel, and the dangerous normalization of ideas that conservatives should be confronting rather than ignoring.This is bigger than left versus right.It is about Israel, America, Western civilization, Biblical values upon which the freedom-loving West was founded, jihadi Islam, and the future of the conservative movement.That is why this conversation in Jerusalem was so important.Jeremy and I may come from different backgrounds, but we share a desire to protect the countries we love. The intent of this conversation is ultimately to help save both of our countries by identifying the ideological threats confronting them and refusing to remain silent.America needs a strong Israel. Israel needs a strong America. Both nations need God. And both need people willing to stand against Jew-hating antisemitism, whether it comes from the left, the right or jihadi Muslims.Watch and share this important conversation from Jerusalem.

Britain Punished Israel. Israel Finally Hit Back.
Show notes
FINALLY! Israel is beginning to act like the strong, independent and sovereign Jewish state we were meant to be.For decades, foreign governments have condemned and pressured Israel over Jews living and building in Judea and Samaria, our Biblical, indigenous and ancestral homeland. Israel usually protested, explained itself and moved on.This time is different.After Britain dramatically escalated measures against Israel and Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, Israel responded with diplomatic consequences of its own.That is the real story.This isn't simply about Britain, a consulate or another diplomatic dispute. It represents a potentially historic change in Israeli foreign policy: Countries should no longer be able to wage diplomatic warfare against Israel while automatically enjoying all the benefits of friendship and cooperation with Israel.Israel possesses tremendous military, intelligence, technological and economic capabilities. Western countries benefit from Israeli intelligence and Israeli innovation, including in the fight against jihadist terrorism.It is time Israel understood its own strength.You want Israel as an ally? Act like an ally.The Jewish people did not return to Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria after 2,000 years to ask foreign governments for permission to live in our ancestral homeland.We are sovereign again.This is the direction Israel must continue moving: away from dependence, appeasement and the failed paradigms of the past and toward Jewish sovereignty, strength, faith and independence.Watch, share and help spread the inspiring truth about Israel and the Jewish people.Am Yisrael Chai!

The Enemy Behind October 7 Is Now Marching Through Europe
Show notes
Three years after the October 7 massacre, on the secular calendar, and Israel still has not clearly named the enemy behind the attack.
The enemy was not merely Hamas, Qatar or the Islamic Republic of Iran. Hamas is one terrorist organization produced by a much broader threat: jihadist ideology, a worldview that glorifies violence, domination and the persecution of those who refuse to submit.
October 7 was not only a warning to Israel. It was a warning to the entire freedom-loving world.
Look at the unrest spreading across France and other parts of Europe. Police are attacked, property is burned and foreign flags are waved, yet Western leaders continue treating each eruption as an isolated social problem. They condemn vague “extremism” while refusing to confront the ideology exploiting their freedom, tolerance and open societies.
Every refusal to name the threat empowers it.
A Belgian journalist recently interviewed me about alleged “settler violence.” After dismantling his premise, I told him that Europe is obsessing over Jews living and defending themselves in our ancestral homeland while ignoring the jihad inside their gates threatening its own civilization.
Israel must lead the intellectual and moral fight. We must stop speaking only about individual organizations and begin exposing the ideology connecting Hamas, the Iranian regime and jihadist movements operating around the world.
Governments must dismantle organizations promoting terrorist violence, prosecute incitement and material support for terrorism, and all those who actively advocate jihadist violence, promote discriminatory sharia law, or assist terrorist organizations.
Israelis are awakening to this reality. Now Israel must become a light unto the nations by telling the free world the truth it is afraid to confront.
Name the enemy. Defend our civilization. Protect future generations.

He Shot a Terrorist. Israel Put Him in Prison. Now He’s Been Pardoned.
Show notes
Israel put a 19-year-old IDF soldier in prison after he shot a terrorist. Now Israeli President Isaac Herzog has pardoned Elor Azaria, and every Israeli needs to understand why his story still matters.Because this is not just about Elor Azaria. It is about whether IDF soldiers confronting terrorists should fear pulling the trigger because they are worried about military prosecutors, investigations and hostile international headlines.On March 24, 2016, two Arab terrorists attacked IDF soldiers with knives in Hebron. One was killed. The second, Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, was wounded.Sgt. Elor Azaria, a young IDF combat medic, arrived as concerns were being raised that the terrorist might still pose a threat with a bomb on his body. Azaria fired.The incident was filmed, creating an international media firestorm. Azaria was convicted of manslaughter and imprisoned.The message many Israeli soldiers heard was devastating: hesitate and your friends might die; fire and your own country might prosecute you.Then came October 7th.Israel discovered the catastrophic price of decades of containment, hesitation and failed assumptions about our enemies.This debate continues today — from IDF rules of engagement and the military legal establishment to the Force 100/Sde Teiman affair and the battle over rewriting the IDF ethical code.And with Israeli elections approaching, the question is bigger than ever:Will Israel elect leaders who continue the old security establishment worldview or leaders who will back our fighters, untie their hands, defeat our enemies and make victory the goal again?Elor Azaria’s pardon closes one file.Israel still needs to learn the lesson.Protect our soldiers. Protect the Jewish people. Defeat our enemies. WIN.Am Yisrael Chai!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Milei Just Said What Every Israeli Needs to Hear About Netanyahu
Show notes
Argentina’s President Javier Milei said something extraordinary about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—and every Israeli should hear it.Speaking in New York, Milei praised Netanyahu as an “extraordinary leader” with geopolitical vision, but then went much further. He argued that Netanyahu is one of the few world leaders who truly understands the enormous “cultural battle” taking place across Western civilization.Milei has repeatedly warned that the West is confronting an ideological struggle involving the radical progressive left, post-Marxist ideas, political Islam and the institutions shaping modern culture. And he sees Israel and the Jewish people at the epicenter of that battle.Why?Because Israel represents something much bigger than another Western democracy.The Jewish people are an ancient indigenous nation restored to our ancestral homeland after 2,000 years of exile. We are rooted in the Land of Israel, Torah, Biblical morality, Jewish identity and belief in God.Milei has called Israel the “bastion of the West” and argued that fighting antisemitism means defending the morality at the foundation of Western civilization.He gets it.The war against Israel is not only about Gaza, Iran, Hezbollah or Hamas. There is also a global battle of ideas taking place—from universities and international institutions to media, NGOs and the streets of Western cities.Israel stands at the intersection.This is why Israelis must understand the magnitude of our moment. Our challenge is not to abandon our Jewish identity to gain acceptance from the world. It is to strengthen it.A Jewish nation. In the Land of Israel. Connected to our Torah, our God, our history and our mission.That is what it means to become a true light unto the nations.

The Plane Plunged 17,000 Feet—Then Miracle After Miracle Happened
Show notes
The more we learn about what happened aboard FlyDubai Flight 1073, the more extraordinary this story becomes.Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain, was reportedly stabbed and seriously wounded by his Omani copilot, who Israeli officials say apparently attempted to crash the Boeing 737 MAX carrying 174 people, overwhelmingly Israelis.The aircraft plunged roughly 17,000 feet in less than two minutes.And then came miracle after miracle.Despite being seriously wounded, Captain Machchhar reportedly managed to release the cockpit security door before collapsing, allowing passengers to enter.An Israeli plumber named Yaniv rushed into the cockpit, fought the attacker and helped regain control of the plunging aircraft. Other courageous passengers joined him and subdued the attacker.Then another extraordinary development: professional FlyDubai pilots happened to be traveling as passengers aboard that very flight. They were able to take control and ultimately land the aircraft safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.Think about that chain of events.A wounded captain who still manages to open the cockpit.Israelis courageous enough to charge toward danger.An ordinary plumber who suddenly finds himself helping save an aircraft.Professional pilots sitting among the passengers precisely when they are desperately needed.And a plane that survives an extraordinary plunge long enough for control to be restored.Remove just one link from that chain and this story could have ended very differently.Instead, they came home.Thank the courageous Captain Smit Machchhar.Thank the Israeli passengers who acted.Thank the pilots who stepped in.And above all: Thank You, Hashem.Not every miracle is this obvious. Recognizing God's hand in our lives doesn't diminish human courage or responsibility, it enhances them.Strengthen your faith in God. Faith is a force multiplier.Am Yisrael Chai!!!Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

They Tried to Drive the Jews Out Look at Us Now
Show notes
This is me patrolling the Judean hills at night after celebrating the Jewish new year, watching over the expansion of a brand-new Jewish community in the heartland of our ancestral homeland.To put this into perspective, I was reading a book about Israel when I came across this extraordinary quote from Golda Meir:“By the summer it was no longer safe for Jews to travel from one city to another. Whenever I had to go from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem for a meeting, which was frequently, I kissed the children good-bye in the morning knowing that I might well never come home again, that my bus might be ambushed, that I might be shot by an Arab sniper at the entrance to Jerusalem or stoned to death by an Arab mob on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.”Golda was describing 1936.During that uprising, our jihadi Arab enemies attacked Jews more than 2,000 times across the Land of Israel, including Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Petah Tikva, Kfar Saba, and many other Jewish communities. The State of Israel did not even exist yet. They were not blaming us for “settlements” or “occupation.” They were attacking us for being Jews living in our homeland.Now look at where we are today.The same jihadi enemy remains. But those vulnerable Jewish communities of Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Kfar Saba etc. in 1936 have become thriving cities in a sovereign Jewish state, one of the strongest countries and economies on earth. And today we are once again building and strengthening Jewish communities throughout Judea and Samaria, the heartland of our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland.That is why I tell people to refuse to get depressed by the daily demoralizing headlines. Zoom out. Look at the big picture.Look at where Golda Meir and the Jewish community were in 1936. Then look at us today. Our enemies who seek to remove the Jewish people from this land have failed continuously for over 100 years. They have not disappeared. Neither have we.We came home. We built a state. We built cities. We revived our language. We built one of the strongest armies in the world. And despite all of their jihadi evil, and despite the enablement of the international community, we continue building.The Jewish people are stronger in our homeland today than at virtually any point in the past 2,000 years. Do not allow today’s headlines to make you lose sight of the historic process we are privileged to be living through.Strengthen your faith. Look at the big picture.We are home. We are growing. And we are not going anywhere.Am Yisrael Chai!The Golda Meir quote in this video comes from her autobiography, My Life. It is a fascinating firsthand account of the struggle to establish and defend the Jewish state.Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv

Macron Lied About Hamas at the UN — But That’s Not the Real Story
Show notes
French President Emmanuel Macron made an extraordinary claim at the United Nations: Hamas has “never been active in the West Bank”, Judea and Samaria.That claim is a total lie, contradicted by Hamas’s documented history of terrorist networks and attacks in Judea and Samaria. But Macron’s statement is only the beginning of this story.In this video, Avi Abelow examines the much bigger historical and ideological questions surrounding the Palestinian national movement, the PLO, Yasser Arafat and the Soviet Union.Former Romanian intelligence chief and Soviet-bloc defector Ion Mihai Pacepa made explosive claims about the KGB’s role in creating and supporting the PLO, shaping its international image and grooming Arafat as its leader. Pacepa even claimed Soviet intelligence helped reconstruct Arafat’s biography and transform the Palestinian cause into a Soviet-style “national liberation” struggle. And that raises a question Western leaders rarely confront:How much did Soviet political warfare contribute to the international narrative surrounding Israel and the Palestinians?The video also examines the Palestinian Authority, its education system, payments connected to imprisoned and deceased Palestinians involved in attacks, and the continuing ideological struggle over Israel’s legitimacy.Macron’s statement about Hamas deserves scrutiny. But focusing exclusively on Hamas risks missing the much larger debate over the history, ideology and objectives of the Palestinian national movement itself.Watch. Think. Research the history for yourself. And share.Join Our Whatsapp Channel:https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMv
