Charlie Kirk was one of the greatest supporters of the State of Israel and the Jewish people - certainly the greatest among the young generation of the Republican Party On the anniversary of his murder, it is important to remember who he was - a man who truly believed with all his heart in the values of freedom and in the Judeo-Christian tradition. A faith that cost him his life. May his memory be a blessing. @charliekirk11
Translated from Hebrew“This is how I was close to him” “A man who sought ways of compromise” “A literature teacher who rose to greatness” Don’t miss Shlomi Eldar’s moving eulogy for arch-murderer Ismail Haniyeh.
Translated from HebrewTo the British people, let me be clear: we in Israel love you. And we are not remotely rattled by sanctions from your Foreign Secretary, whose name escapes me. You have a weak left-wing government for now. But we have faith in our friends among the British public, those who still prize common sense. Better days will come. We will stand together against the globalists and Islamists who seek to impose Sharia law on you. And those days are coming soon. 🇮🇱🇬🇧
Yehuda Eliyahu is one of the most important appointments of the national camp, and no protected political operator will remove him from his position. There will be no compromises in the struggle over the Negev and Galilee.
Translated from HebrewAs the Labour government imposes disgraceful sanctions on Jewish settlement in the heart of the Land of Israel, the British right stands with us. Richard Tice, deputy leader of Reform UK, the right-wing party that is leading by a huge margin in the polls, comes out in strong opposition to the despicable sanctions: “All they will do is strengthen the scourge of antisemitism against British Jews.” We will continue to advance ties with the conservative parties in Europe, much to the chagrin of the left-wing critics. @TiceRichard @reformparty_uk
Translated from HebrewThe sole implication of Segalovich, Eisenkot and Bennett’s man, joining the Islamist Ra’am, is control by the Shura Council over the internal security of the State of Israel. This must not be allowed to happen!
Translated from Hebrew“Pride is stronger than grief” Talik Gvili, mother of the defender of Alumim, Israeli hero Ran Gvili, of blessed memory, displayed throughout this difficult war a nobility and emotional resilience without equal. It is a tremendous privilege that you are now with us in the Likud party, at the forefront of the national camp. Welcome; with God's help we will act and succeed
Translated from HebrewElisha, a hero of Israel. What a privilege that you are with us. With God's help, we will act and succeed.
Translated from HebrewVoter turnout is what will tip the scales between evacuating settlements in Judea and Samaria and establishing dozens more new settlements. Between the police, the Yamam, and a law-enforcement system controlled by the Shura Council or by the people of Israel. The right must not be complacent; we must win!!!!
Translated from HebrewDenying Israel’s right to exist is not legitimate criticism. It is one of today’s most prevalent forms of antisemitism: hatred of Jews disguised as opposition to Zionism. I commend Minister-President Boris Rhein @Boris_Rhein and the State of Hesse for their leadership in advancing legislation to confront this threat. I hope the Bundestag will enact this proposal into law, giving concrete expression to Germany’s commitment to Israel’s right to exist and the safety of Jews.
Maj. Gen. (res.) Noam Tibon is a very senior figure on the Lapid-Bennett list, in sixth place, and this is his authentic opinion regarding the establishment of a Palestinian terrorist state in the heart of our land. From his speech at a Peace Now rally in 2017. Bennett has come a long and winding way from director general of the Yesha Council to heading a party whose senior members were among the leading speakers at Kaplan and Peace Now rallies.
Translated from HebrewJean Noël Barrot, France’s foreign minister: “I know of no country that has worked harder in favor of the Palestinian cause since October 7.” That says it all. Children massacred before their parents’ eyes. Entire families kidnapped. Women raped. Innocent people slaughtered, tortured, beheaded with blows from a shovel. And the executioners proudly filming their crimes with their GoPro cameras. Faced with this barbarity, Barrot’s France apparently found nothing more urgent than to redouble its efforts in favor of the “cause” invoked by the murderers, rapists, and their supporters. If the moral bankruptcy of Western elites needed a face, Jean Noël Barrot’s would fit the bill perfectly: arrogance without courage, posturing without conscience, indignity elevated into diplomacy. Fortunately, Barrot will soon be nothing more than a former minister. And the exhausted president who serves as his boss will not be long in joining him in the dustbin of history.
Translated from FrenchEizenkot is exactly as Drucker described him: a person who hides his deeply rooted left-wing views in order to throw sand in the public’s eyes and form a minority government together with the Islamic Movement.
Translated from HebrewZionism, Mr. Segalovitz, means Jewish nationalism. A miracle in one act, nothing more. The term “Israeli” is not a Rorschach blot either. Indeed, an Israeli civic identity has developed in the State of Israel, and rightly so, allowing members of minorities to take part in building the land and defending its borders. However, the one and only reason for the existence of the State of Israel is to enable the people of Israel, the Jewish people, to have a sovereign national existence. Without this foundation, the state emblem, the flag, and the anthem have no meaning whatsoever. The name Israel has no existence detached from the twenty-ninth verse in Genesis 32: “And he said, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men and prevailed.” The name Israel has no existence detached from the people of Israel, the Land of Israel, and the Torah of Israel, the threefold cord that is not quickly broken. Onward to the Declaration of Independence. The declaration opens with the words “In the Land of Israel the Jewish people arose,” and its heart is the demand for an independent Jewish state: “This is the natural right of the Jewish people to be like every other people, standing on its own authority in its sovereign state.” It is impossible to be both a Zionist and a member of a Palestinian nationalist movement whose leaders categorically refuse to define the Hamas Islamist-Nazi movement, which massacred our people and raped our daughters, as a terrorist organization. It is difficult to imagine a more horrifying Zionist bankruptcy than your cynical joining, Yoav, the ranks of the Islamic movement. A joining whose sole purpose is one thing: another finger in the Knesset, at the price of whitewashing a Palestinian Islamist party that supports terror. No prettified word laundering will erase this disgrace. You write about division. It is difficult to imagine greater division, alienation, and hatred between brothers than those expressed by preferring Hamas-supporting Islamists over your brothers, your own people, in the right-wing parties, among the national-religious public, and among the Haredi public. This is what a person looks like when his hatred of his brothers has driven him out of his mind. I have seen many strange and bizarre things in Israeli politics, but I have never seen such a low point. A Jewish police officer who joins a Palestinian Islamist nationalist movement, as some sort of dhimmi in the name of an amorphous Israeli civic identity, is in my view a Zionist apocalypse, total bankruptcy, and turning his back on his people and homeland. Indeed, in your case the luster of the term Israel has dimmed, Mr. Segalovitz. You have succeeded in emptying it of all content.
Translated from HebrewBeyond the Zionist bankruptcy of Segalovitz and those who sent him, this absurd picture has one meaning: de facto control by the Islamic Movement over the Ministry of National Security, which oversees all enforcement systems against serious crime, nationalist crime, and illegal construction, with an emphasis on Arab population strongholds in the Negev and Galilee. Segalovitz and those who sent him, Bennett and Lapid, are endangering the future of the Zionist enterprise! This time, the Islamic Movement will have not only a hand on the steering wheel, as in the “change” government, but a hand on the trigger.
Translated from HebrewA strong Israel-Greece-Cyprus alliance is the right answer to Erdogan’s Islamist, neo-Ottoman aggression. Today this alliance grew stronger. Israel and Greece signed a historic $3.6 billion Achilles Shield defense deal. 🇮🇱🇬🇷🇨🇾 Turkey has occupied northern Cyprus since 1974, threatened Greece with war for decades, and seeks to impose its Blue Homeland doctrine at the expense of Greece, Cyprus, and regional stability. That same dictatorial regime has become the new command and control center of the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas. It arms and backs jihadist forces in Syria that in a short time carried out horrific massacres against minority populations. Erdogan keeps fanning violence, strife and chaos across the region in pursuit of his delusional neo-Ottoman ambitions. Our trilateral alliance is built on moral values and shared strategic interests: to defend our sovereignty, our maritime rights, and the stability of a region threatened by the Islamist regime in Ankara. We have neither fear nor awe of jihadist dictators. As you have surely noticed.
Help Bennett define for the tough and objective interviewer which political camp he is in?
Translated from HebrewThe Palestinians’ cruelty toward animals knows no bounds.
Proud and delighted to take part in the International Conservatism Conference, finally coming to Jerusalem, the eternal capital of Israel. At previous conferences, I had the privilege of hearing Giorgia Meloni speak in Rome, long before she became Prime Minister, alongside many of the most influential conservative leaders from around the world. Professor @yhazony has built a truly important platform for ideas, leadership and international cooperation. I look forward to welcoming old friends and new voices to Jerusalem for what promises to be an exceptional gathering.
The Palestinian Authority needs to cease to exist. You’re invited to watch the full episode of the Five Fingers podcast with Amir Menachem in the comments
Translated from HebrewA convoy, a limousine, the secretaries who greet him, the aquarium, the heavy doors, the prime minister’s armchair. You can learn a lot about Bennett from the first 15 lines of his self-worship book (it was put online; the bestseller “How to Defeat a Pandemic” was enough for me). But it is important to him to emphasize that he is not obsessed with the chair, the position, honor, or power. Hahahahahaha. “Envy, lust, and honor drive a person out of the world.”
Translated from HebrewGreetings to the choir of sanctimonious do-gooders who thought the foolish boycott of the French National Rally party (RN) should continue. The only party in France that took an uncompromising stance against Hamas, against the distorted decisions of the court in The Hague, and in favor of the war Israel is waging against Islamic terrorism.
Translated from HebrewSmall correction: the night of 6.5., not 5.5. There was also a meeting at Bennett’s home on 5.5.; it too proceeded smoothly, but the one described here, during which I was called back to Ra’anana after I had already left for the north, began at around 20:30 on Thursday, 6.5., and resumed when I returned to Ra’anana at around 23:00. On this occasion, it is worth returning to the letter I published on 5.5., which explained in great detail why I am so strongly opposed to the formation of Bennett’s fraudulent government.
Translated from HebrewI have a rule that I try very hard to adhere to: a private conversation, whether it is a personal exchange on a mobile phone and all the more so face to face, remains private. In my view, this is the ABC of trust between people in general, and in politics in particular. Yesterday I saw that Bennett apparently revealed the content of our face-to-face conversation at his home, during the fateful days between Operation Guardian of the Walls and the formation of the government of fraud and deceit under his leadership. It would never have occurred to me to detail what happened there, but Bennett is the one who chose to open the subject, so let us set the record straight. First, the meeting did indeed take place. This is where Bennett's truth-telling ends, as usual. And now for the precise details: the date was 5.5.21, on the eve of the publication of my letter against the formation of the fraud government. A letter that was published when the mandate to form the government was transferred to Yair Lapid. The meeting was divided into two parts. The first stage was warm and friendly, a conversation conducted calmly, at the conclusion of which Bennett promised me that he did not intend to form a left-wing government, but rather a broad national government, and that there was still time to maneuver. I left the meeting cautiously optimistic, drove north, and then, near Baqa al-Gharbiyye, Bennett asked me to return to Ra'anana. I got off at the Iron Interchange and retraced my steps for the second part of the meeting, which proceeded in completely different tones. Bennett lost his temper, flew into a rage, and almost cried: how dare I not return the mandate to him. The mandate, I told him, belongs to the voters. It is not our private property, nor even the property of the party chairman; an expression of this position of mine was also published in the media the next day (in response 1). He demanded that I resign if he failed to form a national government, and I told him not to count on it, and he lost control. It was a heartbreaking spectacle. That was the meeting. In the days that followed, the grave events continued in the mixed cities, especially Lod, while Hamas also fired rocket barrages toward the Gaza envelope and Jerusalem. In response to the severe escalation, Bennett briefed his close associate, journalist Yair Cherki, that in light of the security situation a coalition with Ra'am was off the table; he conveyed that message to me as well in a phone call. He demanded of me again and again, everything is documented, that I attack Netanyahu head-on on Twitter, supposedly to pressure him into forming a right-wing government, demanded that I not give interviews to media outlets, and also requested another meeting, but by that stage I had already been called up for reserve duty. On 27.5 Amit Segal reported that Lapid and Bennett had agreed to form a government. All the noise was intended only to paralyze the criticism against him. I wrote to him: «You lied to me brazenly». I have met frauds and swindlers in my life, including recently, but none of them comes close to Bennett's ankles, who is the Madoff of Israeli politics. And by the way, his betrayal of his voters is the smaller of his problems in life.
Translated from HebrewThis is the man: Yoav Segalovitz, a member of Bennett and Lapid's Yachad party, who is expected to be his number two. The head of the Islamic Movement party, Mansour Abbas, who recognizes a Palestinian state and refuses even after October 7 to condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization. This is also the man Eisenkot is counting on as a senior partner in his minority government. Absolute madness.
