Moshe Ya'alon
@bogie_yaalon · Israeli opposition & former officials
Moshe Ya'alon is a former Defense Minister and IDF Chief of Staff turned outspoken government critic.
When I heard attorney Uriel Chor Nazri (who represents the person ultimately responsible for the October 7 massacre) threaten a libel suit against Shlomi Eldar, Rut Yuval and the Haaretz newspaper over publication of the warning call from the president of the UAE, I remembered the libel suit against me in the “Qatar Money Affair.” I was sued by the person ultimately responsible for the October 7 massacre after I quoted in a radio interview what appeared in the “Raven Documents” about two payments Qatar transferred to the person at the head of the Israeli government: $15 million in 2012 and $50 million in 2018. I also emphasized in the interview that I have no proof that he received the money, and nevertheless he decided to sue me. I immediately understood that this was a “silencing lawsuit.” Because if he really could prove that it was baseless, he would sue the website that still publishes the documents today (Blast), or at least demand that the publication be removed. In the meantime, the authenticity of the documents has been tested in legal proceedings in several countries (he is not the only allegedly bribed person whose name appears in the documents). The American cybersecurity company whose services were hired by Emirati intelligence was also investigated in the United States, and its activity was found to be proper. I thought that anyone who wants to prove his innocence would do everything possible to have his lawsuit heard in court. Instead, I encountered delaying tactics by his attorney, Uriel Chor Nazri, who repeatedly postponed hearings scheduled at the court at the last minute, claiming “reserve duty under Call-Up Order 8.” (This was the subject of Guy Peleg’s investigation on Channel 12, which exposed the phenomenon in another trial as well, that of a family member)… After a series of postponements, the judge in my trial ordered the plaintiff to pay court costs in my favor. I have no doubt that the “Qatar Money Affair” is serious (even more so than the “Submarine Affair” — which was said to be the most serious security corruption affair in the state’s history). In my opinion, the “Qatar Money Affair” could go as far as an indictment for treason. Its exposure could explain the conduct of the person ultimately responsible for the massacre before and after October 7. After he succeeded in taking control of the law-enforcement system in this area (Shin Bet and the Israel Police), only a state commission of inquiry established by law will be able to get to the truth. Only replacing the government of lies, abandonment and treason in the upcoming election can save the country from ruin!
Translated from HebrewAntisemitism (hatred of Jews) - it is an incurable, dark phenomenon, whose roots can be found as early as the third century BCE in ancient Egypt. Since then, it has brought pogroms, discrimination and the Holocaust upon our people. In light of the decision by some countries to impose sanctions on us, because of Jewish riots and terror in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, we cannot absolve ourselves by accusing these countries of “antisemitism.” The next government must take responsibility for what is happening on the ground, stop funding and encouraging the rioters, who dispossess Arabs of their land through severe violence (including murder), by robbing their property and establishing farms and outposts in their place (what is this if not ethnic cleansing?!). The next government must appoint a defense minister who will enable the IDF to act against Jewish terror, return control of the area to the “four legs” under the responsibility of the area commander (Civil Administration, Israel Police, Shin Bet and IDF forces), and renew administrative detentions against Jewish terrorists. Some of the settlement leaders also understand that the conduct of the Jewish rioters and their acts of terror threaten the entire settlement enterprise, but few of them dare to speak out on the subject. The government of messianists, draft dodgers and the corrupt must be thrown out, in order to save the country (and the settlement enterprise too) from ruin!
Translated from Hebrew“Why are they shooting?” - that is what the top person responsible for the 7.10 massacre asked when he was informed that the Hamas attack had begun. This is a natural question for anyone paying protection money, who is even willing to pay more so they will not rob him. This question also explains why he did not heed the warnings from the security officials and their demand to thwart Hamas leaders. This question also explains why he prevents an investigation into the incident, and especially an investigation into the Qatari money (which also reached his office). A prime minister who cared about the country would have taken responsibility, resigned immediately, and allowed an investigation and lessons to be learned, instead of clinging to power and saying, “let the country burn”… On 27.10 we vote to replace the government of lies, abandonment, and betrayal, the government of messianists, draft dodgers, and the corrupt - to save the country from ruin!
Translated from HebrewYoav Segalovich, my subordinate in the Paratroopers Reconnaissance Unit - well done! Proud of you.
Translated from HebrewEven the (important!) condemnation of the Jewish rioters in Judea and Samaria by the person ultimately responsible for the 7.10 massacre cannot cover up the facts: 1. Jewish terror activists are funded, equipped, supported and encouraged by the messianic ministers in Israel's government. 2. The IDF has been stripped of its enforcement capability against Jewish rioters, because the Civil Administration was placed under Minister Smotrich's responsibility, and he supports the rioters; the Judea and Samaria District of the Israel Police operates under directives from the convicted, racist, Kahanist minister Ben-Gvir; the Shin Bet is not fully using its capabilities against Jewish terrorism because its head is “too messianic”…; and the defense minister does not allow administrative detention of Jewish terrorists. 3. None of the rioters has been arrested, despite clear photos of rioters and their vehicles (most of which were supplied by the Israeli government). Anyone with eyes in their head should understand that, given the political situation of the Hamas financier, he has an interest in security tensions ahead of the elections in order to bring about their postponement, disruption, or influence their results. It is clear that someone who was willing to sacrifice hostages, civilians and soldiers for the sake of clinging to power is in an obvious conflict of interest with the interests of the State of Israel. The opposition leaders, since it was too late to declare him incapacitated, stood guard together with the protest movements to save the State of Israel from the government of lies, abandonment and treason, and from destruction.
Translated from HebrewMansour Abbas is a courageous Arab-Israeli leader. He says honestly that the Jewish character of the State of Israel was imposed on the Arabs of the land, and nevertheless he recognizes the state as Jewish and democratic in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. If only the coalition members attacking him would accept these principles for the future of the state, instead of leading us to ruin, as a messianic, racist, fascist, homophobic, misogynistic, backward, violent, corrupt and leprous halachic state. It is enough to recall Mansour Abbas's conduct during Operation Guardian of the Walls, when the convicted criminal Ben Gvir "poured fuel" in the mixed cities, and Mansour Abbas came after him and "poured water." The coalition of the 7.10 massacre, and especially the person at its head, understand that elections held as scheduled will lead to their defeat. Therefore, they are trying to delegitimize Mansour Abbas, as well as Yair Golan's "Democrats," and even to foment war. Opposition leaders, do not lend a hand to this lying campaign, and focus on removing the government of lies, abandonment and betrayal, the government whose policy of "Hamas is an asset," "Hamas must be strengthened," and even funding it with Qatari billions brought upon us the 7.10 massacre, the greatest disaster and crisis in our history. Mansour Abbas must be part of a coalition of change, and even a minister in the Israeli government.
Translated from HebrewThe person responsible for attempts to foment war ahead of the elections is the one sitting in the prime minister’s chair. He understands that if the elections are conducted properly, he will be defeated and will have to answer for his indictments and failures. After failing against Iran, he is trying to do this against Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, but especially in Judea and Samaria, and the Temple Mount is still waiting for us during Sukkot, ahead of the elections. He has already proven his ability to maneuver the country into the 7.10 massacre (the miracle), by forming a government of messianists, draft dodgers and corrupt people, and dragging us into the longest war in our history, in order to continue clinging to power. Opposition leaders, whoever does not understand that in the coming elections we must unite forces to save the country from the government of lies, abandonment and betrayal, should step aside. Whoever seeks unity or compromise with members of the current coalition should clear the political arena. In the coming elections, a choice is required between a Jewish, democratic and liberal state in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, and a messianic, racist, fascist, homophobic, misogynistic, backward, violent, corrupt and diseased halachic state. This is the choice, and there is no other!
Translated from HebrewTo the indictment against Erdoğan as an antisemite, an Israel-hater, and a supporter of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, I can add chapters from my own experience. When I hear coalition spokespeople justifying the attack in northern Syria and explaining it as a change in policy—“attack every threat as it emerges, as a lesson from 7.10”—the question arises: Who enabled Turkey and Qatar to take over Syria and crown the jihadist Ahmad al-Sharaa as its leader? Who preferred Turkey and Qatar in the Gaza Strip over Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and the rest of the moderate states, and why? Who enabled the financing of Hamas with billions of Qatari dollars, leading to the 7.10 massacre, and why? A state commission of inquiry is supposed to answer these questions and more. In the meantime, we must not be misled by security tensions initiated by the government of lies, abandonment, and betrayal. Opposition leaders, do not be misled by security tensions initiated by the top person responsible for the 7.10 massacre, in order to rally patriotic sentiment before elections and make his total failure be forgotten.
Translated from Hebrew"Do you really believe that the person at the head of the Israeli government creates security tensions with Turkey for political reasons?" - The interviewers' question is justified, because of course that is inconceivable!… But it is also inconceivable that the Israeli government would adopt a policy of "Hamas is an asset and the Palestinian Authority is a burden," "Hamas must be strengthened," and even finance it with Qatari billions of dollars - a policy that led to the 7.10 massacre; it is also inconceivable that the Israeli government would be willing to abandon the hostages in order to cling to power; just as it is inconceivable that the government would drag out a war for three years without initiating a diplomatic move to close any front, in order to appease the messianists in the coalition, while civilian and soldier lives are lost; likewise, it is inconceivable that the government would encourage and support Jewish pogromists to continue dispossessing Arabs of their land in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley while murdering and wounding them and damaging their property; even the American administration understands that this is conceivable, and that the supreme person responsible for the 7.10 massacre is working toward security tensions in some arena in order to delay, disrupt or influence the elections. The government of lies, abandonment and betrayal must be replaced on 27.10, in order to save the state from destruction!
Translated from HebrewThe pogromists (who look like Jews) are intensifying their attacks against Arabs in Judea and Samaria, with the encouragement and support of the government of the 7.10 massacre. The IDF (the sovereign authority) — from which the government of destruction has stripped the enforcement capabilities of the Israel Police, Shin Bet, and Civil Administration — is not fulfilling its mission. The crimes of the terrorists (who look like Jews) will pursue us and our people wherever they are, to eternal disgrace. We must replace the government of “Jewish supremacy,” the government of messianists, draft dodgers, and corrupt people, the government of lies, abandonment, and betrayal — in order to save the country from destruction!
Translated from HebrewTo form a coalition, he adopted the messianists' view that Hamas is an asset and the Palestinian Authority a burden, that «Hamas must be strengthened», decided to fund Hamas with Qatari billions of dollars, and thought it was a «calculated risk», as Yahya Sinwar told him, that would bring quiet. After the October 7 massacre, he adopted the messianists' view that this was a «miracle» that could be exploited for a «war of Gog and Magog», to conquer the «promised land», from the Euphrates River in the north to the Brook of Egypt in the south, to cleanse it of non-Jews and settle it with Jews. In the view of the person ultimately responsible for the October 7 massacre and the grave crisis we are in, the war must continue in order to prevent a state commission of inquiry and accountability for his responsibility and guilt (not only his criminal guilt). Therefore, he leaves all the war fronts open and tries to open new fronts: 1. In the Gaza Strip - Trump forced the «Board of Peace» on him (with Turkey and Qatar!), as well as the «15-point document» (bad for Israel!). 2. In Lebanon - Trump is trying to force an arrangement on him (which could be good for Israel), and he is evading it. 3. In Syria - we missed an opportunity to capitalize on the success in harming Hezbollah and the Iranian presence, which Erdogan and Qatar used to take control of most of the country with the jihadist Ahmad al-Sharaa. 4. In Iran - he tried to achieve an accomplishment that would atone for all his sins by changing the regime. It ended in a farce and in a crisis with President Trump, who accuses him of entanglement that harms America's standing, harms the world economy, and harms his political standing (rightly!). 5. He initiated tensions with Turkey by attacking the airport in northern Syria. And he «won» an American condemnation. 6. After President Trump told him Don’t in all arenas, he is trying to set Judea and Samaria alight through the pogromists, who are supported and encouraged by ministers in the government. Here he evades the «red card» issued by the American ambassador - Huckabee, and the pogroms continue. 7. The best option for him to ignite a war is the «Temple Mount». Ben Gvir already did this successfully during «Guardian of the Walls», in order to prevent the establishment of the Bennett-Lapid government. Opposition leaders, exposing his intentions - those of the defendant, the person ultimately responsible for the October 7 massacre and the longest war in our history - is important in order to save the lives of many civilians and soldiers. Concentrate your efforts on removing him from power, in order to prevent destruction!
Translated from HebrewThey asked me, in light of our acquaintance and personal friendship, whether I was taking pleasure in Avi Dichter’s misfortune. I immediately answered no — because, above all, I have been sad about him for a long time. We were together on cross-border operations in the unit. I came to know his courage and resourcefulness up close. Later we served at the same time — he as head of the Shin Bet and I as chief of staff. We stopped speaking at his initiative, when I came to demonstrate near his home, together with his teammates, following his decision to cooperate, as a minister, in the government of the messianists (who knew them better than he did as vetted members of the Shin Bet’s Jewish Division, and knew the danger they posed to the future of the state?), the draft dodgers and the corrupt. His explanation was: “ I want to be prime minister, and I will reach that position only through Likud”… Immediately after 7.10, I went out to help in the fields around the Gaza border and met Farhi, his teammate, from Sde Nitzan, in his lettuce and cabbage plots, and heard the question: “What happened to him?”. Later, his teammates in the unit decided to ostracize him. Today, above all, I am sad about his self-effacement and surrender to the ultimate person responsible for the 7.10 massacre, while giving up his values, his backbone, and the compass by which he had operated, until the government of lies, abandonment, and betrayal was established. On 27.10 we must throw this bad government, and the person at its head, into the garbage bin of history, in order to save the state from ruin!
Translated from HebrewThe person chiefly responsible for the 7.10 massacre knows that he will be defeated in fair elections. This is evident from his involvement in assembling a list of loyalists in the Likud primaries. In addition, he is acting in many directions in order to cling to power: 1. Delegitimization of Arab citizens' voting. 2. Delegitimization of the ‘Democrats’ party. 3. Delegitimization of the Election Committee. 4. Delegitimization of the Supreme Court. 5. Delegitimization of the government's legal adviser. 6. A fake-news attack by the ‘poison machine’. 7. Attempts to foment war (he is trying against Iran, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip—but encounters opposition from President Trump, so he is trying in Judea and Samaria and on the Temple Mount), while endangering civilians and soldiers. (Remember ‘Guardian of the Walls,’ which began בעקבות the provocations of Ben Gvir in Sheikh Jarrah and on the Temple Mount—then, to prevent the formation of the Bennett-Lapid government?) If he expects us to sacrifice so much so that he can remain in power, it is better for him to leave as early as possible. If the disappointed Likud primary voters do not oust him first, then on 27.10 we must replace him, in order to save the country from ruin!
Translated from HebrewAnother weekend of violence by Jewish pogromists in Judea and Samaria, and the government of the 7.10 massacre is looking for excuses so as not to act against them: The pogromists in Qusra continue to roam freely, sabotaging water and electricity connections to families whom they want to dispossess of their homes; in Umm al-Khair (in the southern Hebron Hills) we witnessed the abuse of an elderly Arab woman, whom the pogromists from the nearby new outpost want to dispossess of her home; in Kh. a-Ras al-Ahmar, a pogromist disconnected the water pipe to 47 families (his name is known and was passed on to the authorities), in order to drive them out; in Beit Sahour, two pogromists fired into the air and threatened with weapons issued to them a group of Israelis who had come to see the new outpost that had taken over a private Palestinian home. The failure of the law-enforcement authorities does not stem from a need to redefine the authority and responsibility between the IDF and the police in Central Command, as the defense minister is trying to pull the wool over our eyes. The problem is the government’s policy, which gives a free hand to the messianic-Kahanist Smotrich, Orit Strock, Ben Gvir and their coalition colleagues (including those from Likud). The IDF is left alone in the campaign, while the Civil Administration is controlled by Smotrich, the Israel Police refrains from enforcing the law against the Jewish rioters under Ben Gvir’s direction, and the Jewish Division of the Shin Bet also fails to act as required, because the head of the organization avoids treating Jewish terror as terror (but rather as “friction”). We are all paying the price for the top person responsible for the 7.10 massacre escaping responsibility and guilt. (Look at the severe damage to our standing, including in the United States, as a pariah state.) The government of the messianists, draft dodgers and corrupt, the government of lies, abandonment and betrayal, must be replaced on 27.10, in order to save the state from ruin!
Translated from HebrewEven in the “White House” they understand that the top person responsible for the 7.10 massacre is trying to foment a war, in order to delay and influence the elections. (He understands that in the current situation he will be defeated). The climax, of course, was dragging President Trump into the “Roar of the Lion” operation with the illusion of toppling the Iranian regime within 4-5 days, with the help of the Kurds from Iraq, and replacing Khamenei with Ahmadinejad (Who came up with this!?…). Since then, President Trump has been suspicious, cautious and warning: this is how he prevented Israel from joining the campaign in Iran around the Straits of Hormuz (remember “Hammer Mountain” - the new “Rock of Our Existence,” which Trump neutralized during his visit); insists on preventing escalation, while enforcing the arrangement in Lebanon; pushes for implementation of the “15-point arrangement” (the terrible one!) in the Gaza Strip; (and as of this week) intervenes in the rampage of the Jewish pogromists in Judea and Samaria (What a disgrace!!!). The next stage on the Temple Mount? This is what happens when the government of the 7.10 massacre and its head prefer political considerations of clinging to power over political and security interests, for the benefit of the state, its citizens and its soldiers. Even in a situation of security tension (initiated by the top person responsible for the 7.10 massacre), we must not be confused, and must be determined on 27.10 to throw the government of lies, abandonment and betrayal, the government of messianists, draft dodgers and the corrupt, into the garbage heap of history, in order to save the state from destruction!
Translated from HebrewWho would have thought that Israel's government would need President Trump to: 1. force it to release the hostages; 2. force it to agree to ceasefires in the “eternal war” that the deranged messianists want, without any political arrangement. 3. force it to stop committing war crimes in Judea and Samaria. What a disgrace!!! The Jewish state needs pressure from President Trump to remember Jewish morality, 80 years after the Holocaust!? The government of the messianists, draft dodgers and corrupt people—the government of lies, abandonment and betrayal—must be replaced on 27.10, to save the State of Israel and the Jewish people from ruin!
Translated from HebrewThe incident in the village of Kafr Qusra is becoming the “Altalena” incident of our generation, except that this time the IDF does not have the backing of the political leadership. Nevertheless, the IDF must defeat the Jewish pogromists. Otherwise, we will have no revival. On 27.10, we must throw the government of destruction into the dustbin of history, in order to save the state!
