Summary of the last year – the War of Survival  – “Swords of Iron” – “Al Aqsa Flood”

Massacre of 7th October still reverberates and is fresh in our minds. We remember the unforgivable barbarism and violence perpetrated by Moslem Arabs : Hamas terrorists and “not so innocent” civilians.  October 7th was a tragedy of inconceivable proportions with 1200 holy souls brutally murdered and worse – unseen since the Holocaust.

Israelis from all sides now know:

• The Arab world wants Al Quds-AL AQSA – they want to march on Jerusalem.
• Army/Intelligence/Political failures.
• The Oslo “nightmare” comes back to haunt Israel.
• “Land for Peace” disaster – rude and horrible awakening for the left wing. 
• Conceptual catastrophe – giving the Gazans jobs/money/self control-basic weapons for law and order is a recipe for success.
• Conceptual catastrophe – self confidence/cockiness/reliance on security wall/cameras/Iron Dome.
• Assessment distortion/mistake – Hamas are deterred and won’t attack. So too Hezbollah.
• Assessment distortion/mistake – Hamas have limited military capabilities and not many tunnels.
• Overall failure – accepting as “normal” a single missile landing in Sderot (Turned into tens of thousands of missiles over the years)
• Antisemitism is on the rise everywhere.  Anti Israel – Pro-Palestinian atmsphere around world.  (From River to the Sea…whether understood or not)
• Hostages are still in or UNDER Gaza. An ongoing tragedy and nightmare.(Must find a way to return them asap, without capitulating or at the expense of the nation or country.)  
• WE STAND ALONE . 

On the Upside

• Am Yisrael Chai – עם ישראל חי וקיים לנצח
• Stories of courage, bravery and miracles from the 7th October 2023 till today.
• Tzhal has the spirit of a lion and is Hashem’s modern day Maccabees. Fighting with real purpose and BeEzrat Hashem.
• Tzahal (Including Airforce and Mossad/Shabak) – are crushing the Arab enemy with power, stealth, prowess and Jewish ingenuity.
• Jewish nation (In and out of Israel) unites and rallies behind Tzahal – giving …supporting…volunteering…donating
• How can I help? What can I do? – become questions of the day.
• We have woken up to the reality of the radical Moslem Arab enemy in and around Israel. (From 1851/1929/1937/1948 till today 2024)
• No difference between Moslem Arabs and their “destroy Israel / hate education” in Gaza City, Beirut, Ramallah, Shchem, Lod & Tehran.
• Oslo is truly dead and buried in the rubble of destroyed Gaza and Lebanon. (G-d willing also Iran)

Am Yisrael wants true victory and not a useless compromise or ceasefire, leaving the enemy on our borders.
