PM Netanyahu: We are currently intensifying the fight against Hamas. Step by step, we are wiping out Hamas's capabilities. Hamas will be defeated. Our soldiers will win. The people of Israel will win.​

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Saturday, 30 December 2023), at his press conference, at the Kirya in Tel Aviv [translated from Hebrew]:

"Citizens of Israel,

The war is continuing. We are fighting on all fronts. We have major successes but we have also paid a painful price. Achieving victory requires more time. Just as the Chief of Staff said this week: 'The war will continue for many more months.'

My policy is clear: We are continuing to fight until the goals of the war have been achieved, especially the elimination of Hamas and the release of all our hostages. We are not relenting – even for a moment – in our efforts to bring our hostages back home, even at this very moment. We will ensure that Gaza no longer constitutes a threat to Israel, that there will be no element in it that finances terrorism, educates its children for terrorism and pays the families of terrorists.

We have additional important missions: To restore security in both the south and the north, to restore prosperity to the kibbutzim, moshavim and cities that have been attacked, and to return the residents to their homes.

As Prime Minister, I have rejected the international pressure aimed at stopping the war before we achieve these goals. I appreciate the US support for Israel, as this was expressed last week in the UN Security Council and in the approval that was given yesterday by the American administration for the supply of additional war material for the IDF.
Dear citizens of Israel,

I greatly appreciate your determination and patience. Wherever I meet you, I hear the same words: 'Continue; don't stop.' I hear this from all sections of the people. I hear it from the families of our fallen heroes, from those who have been wounded, and, of course, from our brave soldiers and commanders who I meet with in the field, including inside Gaza. They all tell me the same thing: 'Continue until absolute victory.'

In order to achieve absolute victory, in order to accomplish all of our goals, more time is required. We are working non-stop with determination and strength. I would like to emphasize that we are doing so while safeguarding the lives of our soldiers as much as possible. We are directing strong fire from the air and by land in order to strike our enemies, while watching over the security of our forces and the well-being of our hostages.

We are currently intensifying the fight against Hamas. In addition to continuing activity in the northern Gaza Strip and parallel to the battles in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, our forces are attacking the terrorists in the central Gaza Strip. They are fighting with force and new methods, above and below ground. This is very complex fighting, but we have the upper hand.

We have eliminated over 8,000 terrorists, and we are eliminating many more on each day of fighting. Step by step, we are wiping out Hamas's capabilities. Hamas will be defeated. Our soldiers will win. The people of Israel will win.

At the same time, we are also active on additional fronts. On the northern border, we are striking harsh blows at Hezbollah. We are eliminating many terrorists and are destroying the enemy's capabilities. We have approved operational plans for the continuation of the fighting. If Hezbollah expands the war – it will absorb blows that it has not dreamed of, and Iran as well. We will take all action until we restore security to the residents of the north.

In Judea and Samaria, we are working around the clock to arrest terrorists, to eliminate terrorists and to thwart many attacks. Since Operation Defensive Shield, there has been no operation in Judea and Samaria of such magnitude. I would like to stand by our settler brothers and sisters, who are steadfast in the face of constant terrorist threats.

Regarding the Houthis – I spoke with many leaders about the need to form an international coalition to safeguard freedom of international navigation in the straits. I welcome the fact that such a coalition has been formed. In any case, we will not allow this threat to harm the citizens of Israel or the Israeli economy.

Regarding Iran: Iran is leading the axis of evil and the aggression against us on the various fronts. This aggression is aimed not only at Israel but at the entire free world. We are acting against Iran all the time, everywhere, and I will not go into details. Today, everyone understands that the threat from Iran will greatly increase if Iran has nuclear weapons. Therefore, the goal that I have been working toward for many years, even now, remains as is: To do absolutely everything to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons.

Citizens of Israel,

We mourn our fallen heroes, our marvelous sons and daughters, those who have given their lives to defend our country and achieve our victory. We wish a quick and complete recovery to our wounded. We are proud of all our soldiers.

In my visit to Gaza this week, I met reservists. They have been fighting the Hamas terrorists for 85 days. They have lost friends, heroes who have fallen in defense of the homeland. They told me: 'We are here to defend not only our borders but also our home.'

When I visited the Sheba Medical Center this week, I spoke at length with the soldier Netanel Tekla, who is recovering from his wounds. Netanel told me about his and his friends' daring battles on October 7th. Netanel's family made aliyah from Ethiopia and dreamed of Zion and here he is defending Zion. With exemplary level-headedness, after he was wounded, Netanel eliminated seven terrorists and saved many lives. We wish him and all of our wounded a complete and quick recovery.

Last week I met with my bereaved brothers and sisters from the families of our heroes who have fallen in battle, including Rafael, the father of Staff Sergeant Shai Arus from Holon, a combat medic in the Givati Brigade who fell in the battles in Gaza. Rafael read me his son's final letter, his moving testament.

Shai wrote: 'I was happy to do what I have wanted to do – save lives and safeguard the country. This is something that I have always wanted to do, something that has always been a part of me since I was a small child. Now I have had the opportunity to do this and give of myself to the country.' And then Shai adds: 'Know that all of this has not been for nothing. The entire people of Israel should continue in this tradition: To love the country, because people have not fallen here for no reason and there are people who need to stand guard over us. I know that this will be difficult,' Shai writes. 'But I want you to continue as you are, to continue with your lives. I have had a happy life.'

To our heroes, those who have fallen in battle, those who have been wounded and those who wield the sword day and night, I salute you. You are the heroes of the people of Israel, of our country. With such spirit to bind us all, we will continue to fight until the end – until victory.

Together we will fight and with G-d's help, together we will win."

Civil Communication and Management | The tragic story of the IDF unit which sole purpose was to prevent a humanitarian disaster - in Gaza

Dozens of terrorists facing unarmed soldiers at a base whose essence is aid to the Gaza population. Nick Beiser, Ron Sherman and Tamir Nimrodi were documented being kidnapped by Hamas.

Last Wednesday we entered the base for the first time since the attack, and heard the story of the heroism of E'.

On Friday, the bodies of Nick and Ron were already identified.



After their commanders and comrades fell and were kidnapped, the unit responsible for the humanitarian situation of the residents of Gaza returned to work

| Reservists raise moral questions

"I volunteered for the reserves in a specially formed unit, and it only became clear to me in retrospect that this was the case, in order to monitor the situation in Gaza. And all out of concern for the Gazans, that there will not be a humanitarian crisis there, to closely monitor their situation and take care of all their needs.

Conscientiously, I could not take part in this,

I asked my commander if we were the army for the defense of the enemy..

He claimed that it was Israel's interest, so to speak.

I left, and I volunteer today in another unit."

2023: More than 50,000 Jews ascend the Temple Mount

Then what does that make the other 70% of people in Israel, Mongols or Brazilians. Or don't you like the truth about Israel being 60% Sephardic Jews with very few Ashkenazi Jews left. So this one small fact destroys your every post about the Jews being INVADERS and COLONISTS when in fact they are indigenous to the area. Unlike the arab muslims that are just bums from the surrounding lands.

The Akkadians were there before the Jews. Arabs have lived there since long before Islam. Sargon2 settled four Arab tribes in Samaria during the Babylonian exile.

If it's about Arab nationalism, what about so called "Fakestinians"?

Of course, it's always been cover for Arab imperialism,
as well as, Akkadians were foreign imperialists.

2023: More than 50,000 Jews ascend the Temple Mount

Antisemitism: the UN counts ascension to the Temple Mount as "settler violence"

The UN data on "settler violence" show a real blood libel - 30% of the incidents took place in Jerusalem in general, in many of the incidents there are no settlers and no violence

​

News 12 journalist Amit Segal revealed the truth about the UN's false data regarding "settler violence", a campaign that the UN and the European Union promote together with Israeli and foreign left-wing organizations.

Such a plot is hard to believe was invented. It turns out that some of the incidents that are counted as "settler violence" are murderous attacks that were carried out by Arabs. Others are incidents in which the IDF shot at Arab rioters, and 30 percent of the incidents in general took place in Jerusalem and are not related to violence, but describe the ascension of Jews and tourists to the Temple Mount.

The data was received from the UN by Dr. Michael Wolfowitz, Doctor of Criminology at the Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University, who is researching the issue.

30% of the events took place in Jerusalem
However, an examination shows that over 1,600 of them (29 percent) took place in Jerusalem in general, almost all of them - 1,300 of them (23 percent) are Jews or tourists entering the Temple Mount or police confrontations with Muslim rioters on the Temple Mount. That is, no violence and no settlers... Of the remaining ones, only 2,500 describe an attack on property or a person (only 45 percent of all incidents), while most of the incidents describe entry into lands or things like these.

But even these 45% include hundreds of incidents that have no connection to "settler violence". The record - an attack in which terrorists shot or stabbed Jews and were killed or injured by soldiers or civilians is considered by UN method of "settler violence". One of them was even registered twice because on the day of the attack the terrorist was injured and a day later he died of his wounds.

Arab murder of a Jew? "settler violence"
For example, on April 8, 2018, Muhammad Abdel Kareem Marshood tried to stab Israeli citizens at a gas station in the Ma'ale Adumim industrial area (Mishor Adumim). An Israeli citizen with a firearms license neutralized the threat with his weapon. The attacker then died of his wounds on April 9, 2018. Surprisingly, this incident is recorded in UN data as an act of settler violence. More surprisingly, separate incidents were recorded on April 8 and 9 for the same incident, one for the shooting and one for the death next.

Such a plot is hard to believe was invented. It turns out that some of the incidents that are counted as "settler violence" are murderous attacks that were carried out by Arabs. Others are events in which the IDF shot at Arab rioters, and 30% of the events in general took place in Jerusalem and are not related to violence, but describe the ascension of Jews and tourists at the Temple Mount.

A similar incident was recorded on July 26, 2018: at the time it was described that "a 31-year-old settler was killed and two settlers (41 and 58) were injured when they were stabbed by a 17-year-old Palestinian man in the Adam settlement near the village of Jaba. The Palestinian was identified as Muhammad Tarek Dar Yosef from the village of Kubar; He was shot to death with live ammunition fired by a settler in the settlement. The body of the slain Palestinian was detained by the Israeli authorities (Jerusalem)."

An incident in which Yotam 'Ovedi HY"D was murdered was recorded as an incident of "settler violence", apparently because the terrorist was shot by a "settler". Another event defined as settler violence is a stabbing attack at Mor Farm in Mount Hebron. The farmer shot and killed the terrorist after the terrorist stabbed him in his home while his wife and children were in the next room. The same goes for a terrorist who entered Yitzhar to carry out a stabbing attack and was shot by the security forces and wounded close to the homes of families he planned to enter, described as settler violence.

Entry of travelers to the antiquities site? Settler violence
Even the injury of Arab rioters from the shooting of the security forces, such as rioters who threw stones at people that entered Joseph's tomb, archaeological sites or in other riots by Arabs that approached Jewish settlements, is considered by the United Nations as settler violence


Two-way anti-Semitism
Regarding terrorist attacks on Jews, the UN perpetrates the same lie only in reverse. According to the UN, in the years 2016 to 2022, there were 1,935 attacks on Israelis by Palestinians, including in Jerusalem.

A ridiculous figure considering that according to the IDF only in the years 2019-2022 there were 25,257 Arab attacks on Jews in Judea and Samaria alone (excluding Jerusalem) including over 20,000 incidents of stone throwing, about 4,000 Molotov cocktails, about 400 shooting attacks and over 50 stabbing attacks.
