How dare you
Instead of pleading with ignorant, ill-informed and inflamed haters to moderate their language, we should be exposing and challenging them every time they open their mouths.
Knee-jerk slanderers of Israel must be confronted head-on. Appealing to their better nature is useless because these individuals, groups and organizations are irredeemably lost in a cesspool of continual conspiracies.
Take Saint Greta, for example, who has now morphed from a teenage icon of climate change activism to a bitter and twisted supporter of Arab terror, pogroms and denier of Jewish historical legitimacy. Draping herself in the terror scarf so beloved by terror supporters, she stands in front of the braying mobs and shouts, “no climate justice without human rights.” Her version of human rights, however, excludes Israelis because, in her jaundiced eyes, they alone are guilty of crimes against humanity. According to her worldview and those who adore her, the real human rights abusers of this world are blameless. Whether it is executing teenagers, persecuting and incarcerating non-Muslims, targeting women or murdering minorities, none of the UN members engaged in these activities attracts the ire of Greta and her climate co-conspirators.
Tying Israel to climate change conspiracies and exonerating the likes of Iran, North Korea, Russia and China is a classic example of how twisted the whole Green movement has now become. In Australia, New Zealand and other Parliaments where the Greens are represented, their MPs now utter the vilest slanders against Israel. What is very noticeable is the complete lack of pushback by genuine environmentalist individuals and organizations. It is the same shameful silence that progressive women’s groups have exhibited in the face of the rapes and sexual crimes committed by Hamas. It is the same display of moral cowardice and failure shown by university heads and many faculty members.
Jewish communal groups and leadership should be flooding the media and public arena with “how dare you” posters and declarations. Out them and shame them should be the constant message.
The recent debate in the NZ Parliament is a perfect example of how ignorance and plain old prejudices gain traction while the few who dare to stand up to blatant lies are drowned out. A visual theatre of the absurd and a media spectacle is the sight of Green MPs and others draped in a keffiyeh scarf spouting the vilest accusations of genocide against Israel. While the Foreign Minister and an ACT coalition MP strove to inject some reality into the debate, the antics of the Green, Labour and Maori Party representatives garnered the headlines.
Instead of declaring “how dare you” at those spouting lies about how Israel has committed genocide and that 75 years of oppression is the reason for Hamas’s pogroms, the Parliament meekly adopted a Labour Party member amendment. Calling for a two-state solution and immediate ceasefire is a recipe for letting Hamas survive and creating yet another terror-supporting Islamic entity.
How many Parliamentarians have bothered to see the videos of the Hamas pogrom taken by the terrorists and others on the day of the massacres and kidnappings? My guess is that not one MP has bothered to front up to the Israel Embassy and actually find out the truth. If, in fact, one or two did do so, why did they remain silent in the face of the false accusations uttered in the debate?
Has any member of the Labour Party, the Greens or the Maori Party actually ever read the founding charter of Hamas, which calls for the destruction of Israel and the murder of its citizens? Has any member of the NZ Parliament listened to and understood the real intentions of the PA/PLO/Fatah “peace loving” authority?
Obviously not, otherwise they would not be peddling the rhetoric that they currently do.
Here is just a small selection of the latest peace gestures issued from Ramallah.
The PA Prime Minister: Hamas is not only in Gaza, Hamas is an idea. It is not just a structure or a military organization in Gaza. Hamas is in the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. Its leadership is in Qatar and everywhere. (Interview with France 24 News).
In other words, Hamas is an integral part of Arab society. That explains why children are being taught to murder Jews and why those already imbued with jihad brainwashing have no problem in carrying out the most heinous crimes.
Mahmoud Abbas: We own the land, Jerusalem and the holy places.
When he talks about owning the land, he actually means “from the river to the sea”. He means the Temple Mount and the Kotel. The corollary of all this rhetoric means a land cleansed of any Jewish presence and with its Jewish holy sites desecrated.
PA Justice: Two men accused of spying for Israel were recently strung up from electric poles and then their bodies were dumped in a garbage bin. The watching mob of locals cheered. No PA police were seen.
Needless to say this example of human rights abuse never featured in the international media. It also never reached the agenda of the UN Human Rights Council, nor was it the subject of an emergency debate of the UN Security Council. Unsurprisingly, world leaders remained mute as did other usual suspects.
PA Supreme Shariah Judge & Abbas adviser: Palestine belongs to its residents and its people who have been living in it for more than six thousand years.
In other words Jews have no historical legitimacy or right to claim sovereignty in their homeland.
PA (after recent Jerusalem terror attack): All Israelis are colonialist settlers and legitimate targets.
What this really means is that any Jew living anywhere “from the river to the sea” is a settler and therefore a target for terror and murder. This is why all those who were attending the music festival in the Negev are described as settlers and legitimate targets for abduction and death.
OFFICIAL PA TV: (recorded by PMW on 27 October 2023): The occupation (i.e. Israel) stole organs from the corpses (in Gaza) such as the cornea of the eye, the concha of the ear, liver, kidneys and heart.
Like the blood libels and well-poisoning accusations of the Middle Ages in Europe, these slanderous accusations spread like wildfire. The intention remains the same, namely to tar Jews with the vilest crimes and thereby arouse the ignorant masses to violence and murder.
Given these few examples and recognizing that the daily diet of venomous lies continues, why would any sane Israeli agree to the establishment of another terror and Jew-hating State in its midst? Unbelievably, despite the carnage of 7 October and the evidence of future such outrages, there are still those who dream of and advocate for precisely this to occur. The usual refrain is that we can only make peace with our enemies. What they do not tell you is that genuine peace can only come after the enemies are totally defeated and the evil ideologies buried with them. That is how Nazi Germany and its allies were dealt with before any peace agreement was contemplated.
Clueless politicians in parliaments and others who pontificate about two-state solutions and two states living in democratic peace and tolerance blindly ignore the reality on the ground. What is even worse, their ignorant parroting of mindless slogans, wearing Hamas scarves and baseless accusations of Israeli genocidal policies encourage those plotting future pogroms. In their indecent haste to blame Israel for every sin known to humanity, they blatantly ignore the real genocidal agenda of Islamic terror groups.
HOW DARE THEY INDEED.
First Arab family joins Israeli delegation in US for kidnapped son
Organized by Israel-is, a global Israeli advocacy group, the delegation’s mission focused on the plight of those kidnapped in the conflict. Central to their efforts was Fouad Talalka from Hura, whose son, Samar, 24, was kidnapped by Hamas while working in Kibbutz Nir Oz.
This marked the first instance of a Bedouin family participating in such an advocacy campaign, bringing attention to the October 7 tragedy, which involved the kidnapping of seven Bedouin citizens, the murder of 19, and the injury of numerous others.
Throughout the week, the delegation met with members of the US House of Representatives across the political spectrum. These included Congressman Michael McCaul from Texas, Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan from Pennsylvania, and Jewish American Congressman Brad Schneider from Illinois. They also conveyed Samar’s story to journalist Bret Stephens from The New York Times.
Expanding their advocacy, the delegation met with prominent Arab figures in Washington. During these meetings, Fouad Talalka shared his son’s ordeal and advocated for his release.
Personal appeals and international pressure
In a heartfelt plea, Fouad called for international action: “My son was violently taken to Gaza. His fate remains unknown. He’s a young man seized by a terrorist group that recognizes no human distinction. We must not forget him or the others still held in Gaza. I urge the American government, all rational nations, and individuals to demand Hamas’s immediate release of the kidnapped. This is beyond politics. These are innocent lives, and their captors must face justice.”
Noam Bedein, the foreign relations director at Israel-is and the organizer of the delegation, highlighted the necessity of global pressure on Hamas: “To bring the kidnapped home, we must mobilize international awareness. Understanding the personal stories of these families is crucial in conveying the urgency of the situation to world leaders. Hamas’s detention of hundreds of innocents from various nations, with no information on their well-being, is a crisis unmatched in modern times.”
Uphill battles
Israel’s fight against Islamic terror is being fought on two main fronts.
As well as physical battles in the field, another much tougher contest is taking place in the battle for people’s minds and hearts. Jews have been waging this war for several millennia, and while there have been occasional successes, they tend to be fleeting.
It would be safe to say that for at least the last two thousand years, there has been a marked lack of sympathy and empathy for Jews wherever they may have been domiciled. Some countries at some stage provided beneficent sanctuary and tolerance but this was swiftly replaced after a short interval with expulsions, pogroms and persecution.
Uncomfortable as it may be for some to admit, even during tolerable bursts of friendship, the seething cauldron of enmity was always there below the surface. Occasionally, it erupted with lethal consequences, but even during those times when all seemed quiet, Jews still lived on the edge of a smouldering volcano.
It is an unfortunate and tragic part of Jewish history that far too many Jews have been and continue to be seduced by false visions whereby they believe that tolerance and understanding have become the norm. For some, a complete estrangement from the Jewish People was and continues to be their default position. This takes the form of a divorce from Judaism and a severance from collective togetherness. This leads to a complete rejection of those things that unite Jews and explains why these people can be seen throwing in their lot with the mindless mobs demonstrating against Israel. Rejection of the idea of a reborn Jewish national sovereignty is the hallmark of those who think that by ingratiating themselves with the anti-Israel masses, they will somehow gain their unconditional love.
This has never worked in the past and certainly is a spectacular failure today, as feminist progressives have discovered, to their shock and horror.
The same goes for “Queers for Palestine”, who would be the first victims of any Hamas or Islamic victory.
Many lament the fact that Israel faces such an uphill struggle to gain sympathy and support. Some put it all down to incompetent public relations and diplomacy, while others blame it on Israelis’ perceived aggressive determination to defend themselves.
One needs to recognize that there is nothing new under the sun and that yesterday’s Jew hate has now morphed into Israel hate of the most virulent variety. The old strain of poisonous libels and slanders is still there and has been updated and modernized. Current events conclusively prove it.
The revelation that the situation is rotten has come as a searing shock to those who had lulled themselves into believing that times had changed for the better. American Jews celebrating Thanksgiving and carving up their turkeys must be wondering what has struck them. It was, therefore, with some small measure of amazement that I read an item in the JP that purported to offer advice on “how to alter the narrative and win hearts.”
Asserting that “Israel was on the losing end of the PR battle,” an American political and communications consultant and pollster offered advice. His winning formula for reversing this situation reads like an exercise in consultancy confusion detached from realities on the ground. Here are a few samples that in his opinion, would miraculously reverse the negativity against Israel currently evident not only in the USA but elsewhere in democratic countries.
Israel is at war with Hamas not the Palestinians. If he bothered to read and listen to the daily Palestinian Arab outpouring of hate for Jews and Israel and their support for Hamas, he would realize that the virulent virus against which Israel is fighting is alive and well among all so-called Palestinian groups. It’s not just Hamas that’s the problem it’s all those infected with Islamic rejection of Jewish sovereignty.
The October 7 massacre was an attack on Israelis, not Israel. His rationale that concentrating on individuals rather than the country will elicit more sympathy ignores the malevolent motivations that cause individuals and groups to hate anything to do with Israel. Despite horrendous personal narratives, those who hate the Jewish State will continue to hate its victims.
Instead of calling Hamas terrorists, call them an army of terror. The reasoning behind this piece of advice, according to this expert, is that Americans are frightened of the word terrorists. If this is indeed the case, it explains why avoiding inconvenient facts will never succeed in eradicating terror.
Focus on the mission of destroying Hamas, liberating Gaza and finding a peaceful alternative. Unsurprisingly, this agenda seems too stark for all those demonstrating and vandalizing. Pie in the sky demands about Abbas and his corrupt PA replacing Hamas and being part of a “two state solution” are fatally flawed.
Gazans living under Hamas rule are deeply suffering. They elected Hamas and cheered their 7 October pogrom. As far as the mindless university demonstrators and others are concerned, those causing suffering are Israelis. No amount of evidence to the contrary seems to sway set minds.
Use graphic descriptions: women raped, children beheaded and infant hostages. Despite these facts already being presented via videos and personal testimonies, international progressive women’s groups and others have been significantly silent. The Jordanian Queen questioned the veracity of such evidence. Hostage families have travelled to many countries and met legislators.
The bottom line is that after an initial burst of sympathy, the rest of the world quickly reverted to its traditional stance. The Red Cross is impotent when it comes to Jews and Israel.
President Macron has stated that it will take at least ten years to destroy Hamas. The subtext of his assertion is that we may as well throw in the towel now because it’s not worth the effort. Vichy France did that with the Nazis and French police and railway workers co-operated in arresting and transporting Jews to their death. The French Ambassador to Israel has now offered up some more Gallic expertise. While supporting the goal of getting rid of Hamas, he trotted out the current UN mantra that Israel was killing too many civilians. Somehow, eliminating Hamas, which is deliberately embedded among its civilian population, can be achieved only by issuing pious pontifications.
Meanwhile, the French Ambassador to Israel echoed his master’s thoughts by declaring that he doubted all of Israel’s military goals are reachable. He went on to advise that “once war broke out, one of Israel’s highest goals should have been to discredit Hamas and to convince everybody that Hamas cannot be taken into account anymore as a respectable political player.” He went on to lament that instead, the opposite has happened and Hamas has strengthened its legitimacy in the Arab world.
Think about this for a moment.
The fact that Hamas has been embraced and championed by much of the Arab and, indeed, Islamic world is a failure of Israeli actions. It obviously has nothing to do with the warped and poisonous Islamic ideology driving Jihad and its ambition of cleansing Israel of Jews from the river to the sea. His solution, which mirrors current international delusions, is the creation of yet another terror country on territory historically Jewish and legally approved for Jewish settlement.
There are some optimistic souls who believe that the advent of the incoming New Zealand Government will inject a breath of fresh thinking into the hitherto fatally flawed policies of the country as far as Israel is concerned. I previously warned such individuals not to hold their breath. It, therefore came as no surprise when the NZ Prime Minister last week observed that “there was no will on either side for a ceasefire or peace process. This contortionist effort to equally blame both the terror group Hamas and Israel’s Government for a lack of peace demonstrates that nothing has changed in Wellington. Would Mr. Luxon have offered up the same senseless stupidity in the midst of the war to defeat Nazi terror? Of course not, because in those days, the Government knew that only by totally defeating the terrorists controlling Germany could any meaningful peace be established.
It is symbolic of the idiocy now gripping otherwise sane democracies that Israel is admonished to leave the job half done and, as in the past, buy temporary and ultimately illusory quiet.
Instead of dealing with Iran and its supporting teams of Russia, China and North Korea, the democracies prefer to take the easy way out. These shades of past appeasement policies will come back to haunt those who think that they will be safe if they offer up Israel on a platter instead.
The only trouble is that most sane Israelis are no longer willing to be fed to the marauding crocodiles.
Chanukah is the perfect time to remember how past attempts to detach Jews from their faith and homeland were thwarted. It may be an uphill struggle, but we will prevail.
The Fall and Rise of Judah
Now it came about at that time that Judah was demoted by his brothers, and he turned away until [he came] to an Adulamite man, named Hirah. And there Judah saw the daughter of a merchant named Shua, and he took her and came to her. [Genesis 38:1-2]
The Torah has just told us of the harrowing story of Joseph, hated by his brothers, thrown into a pit full of snakes and as an act of mercy sold to the Ishmaelites for 20 pieces of silver.
Then the story pauses. Instead, we get the downfall of Judah, fourth son of Jacob and Leah and until now regarded as the leader of the 12 brothers. It was Judah who urged his siblings not to kill Joseph, rather sell him and be rid of him for good.
Joseph was not seen by his family. But his presence lay heavy. Jacob was constantly fasting in mourning for his favorite son. The eldest, Reuven, was fasting for having switched his father’s marital bed and incurring his anger. And Judah, who seems to have only wanted to stop a murder, couldn’t take the reproach of the others: “Had you told us to let him go we would have listened.” In other words, it’s your fault.
And Judah leaves the northern Canaanite town of Dotan and heads south, looking for a home in every face he sees. He ends up in Adulam and meets somebody named Hira. Then he marries the daughter of a Canaanite man, something the patriarchs warned against throughout the previous 200 years. The text remains silent.
But the commentators are divided. Some insist that the son of Jacob would never marry a Canaanite. But others, including Rav Saadia Gaon, the 10th Century sage, say simply “Canaanite is Canaanite.” The text appears to support the latter’s interpretation as Judah’s three sons and wife, the victims of G-d anger, die — leaving him alone with a widowed daughter-in-law Tamar.
The next part of the story confounds those who see Judah as righteous. He leaves for Timnah in the south with his kemosabe Hira to shear their flock. On the way, Judah stops off to have sex with an anonymous harlot who turns out to be Tamar — not exactly biblical behavior. For Judah, this is the low point.
Henry Kissinger, who died last week at age 100, took a similar route. He grew up in a traditional Jewish family in Germany and arrived in New York at age 15. Within a few months, he wrote, he had turned from an “idealist” to a “skeptic.” He didn’t see himself as a Jew rather an American, with a passion for the Giants baseball team. He soon left his high school sweetheart Anne for the US Army, where his German and clear prose made him a perfect fit for counter-intelligence in his native land.
Kissinger was a quick study. He might never get rid of his accent — although his younger brother Walter did — but he could shed everything Jewish. As he rose from being a protege to Nelson Rockefeller to the White House, Kissinger always made sure to be the loudest antisemite in the room. The persecution of Jews was essentially their fault. He opposed US support of Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union. In fact, he protested against American intervention for any Jew. He called those Jews who cared about their brethren “self-serving bastards.”
“The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy, and if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern,” Kissinger told then-President Richard Nixon in March 1973. “Maybe a humanitarian concern.”
Like Judah, Kissinger thought to cap his career by marrying a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant, or WASP. In 1974, soon after he became secretary of state, Kissinger wedded Nancy Maginnes, his former student at Harvard and from an elite New York family. Rockefeller lent his private jet for the honeymoon. The wedding, Kissinger felt, would put pay to his former heritage, which he attributed to an “accident of my birth.”
Kissinger didn’t seem to have much naches from Nancy. They never had children. From the day of their marriage, she suffered from ulcers that also put her several times in the hospital, one of them for the removal of her colon. He was away all the time.
Still, Kissinger’s career rolled on after his stint in government. He maintained his image as the man who couldn’t stand Jews — even opposing the US Holocaust Museum, claiming it would “reignite antisemitism.” He no longer needed Rockefeller’s money, turning superrich as the ultimate lobbyist for governments and corporations everywhere. One of his last visitors was Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
The Midrash says G-d spared Judah because of his place in Jewish history: He would be the ancestor of King David and the Messiah. It was Tamar, sentenced to die for becoming pregnant with a strange man, who brought Judah back to his family and faith. “She is right…,” Judah said when presented with Tamar’s evidence that she had been abandoned. The strange man who had impregnated Tamar turned out to be Judah himself at the crossroads to Timna. Tamar gave birth to twins and Judah’s new life began.
For anybody who knows Jews, the woman has the last word. Tamar was no exception. When she saw the first of the twins she understood that a breakthrough had taken place. Judah would return to lead his brothers. He would establish the Jewish monarchy forever. Kissinger would not have understood.
“With what strength you have strengthened yourself!” Tamar said. “And he [Judah] named him Peretz.” [Genesis. 38:29]
Announcement of Visa Restriction Policy to Promote Peace, Security, and Stability in the West Bank

The United States has consistently opposed actions that undermine stability in the West Bank, including attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, and Palestinian attacks against Israelis. We have underscored to the Israeli government the need to do more to hold accountable extremist settlers who have committed violent attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank. As President Biden has repeatedly said, those attacks are unacceptable. Last week in Israel, I made clear that the United States is ready to take action using our own authorities.
Today, the State Department is implementing a new visa restriction policy targeting individuals believed to have been involved in undermining peace, security, or stability in the West Bank, including through committing acts of violence or taking other actions that unduly restrict civilians’ access to essential services and basic necessities. Immediate family members of such persons also may be subject to these restrictions.
We will continue to seek accountability for all acts of violence against civilians in the West Bank, regardless of the perpetrator or the victim. We also continue to engage with the Israeli leadership to make clear that Israel must take additional measures to protect Palestinian civilians from extremist attacks. We will also continue to engage the Palestinian Authority to make clear it must do more to curb Palestinian attacks against Israelis. Both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have the responsibility to uphold stability in the West Bank. Instability in the West Bank both harms the Israeli and Palestinian people and threatens Israel’s national security interests. Those responsible for it must be held accountable.
Hamas in Jerusalem
Israel has set the elimination of Hamas as a military threat and a political entity in the Gaza Strip as its primary objective in the current war. But vanquishing Hamas in Gaza is not enough, because Hamas’s tentacles stretch far beyond the Strip. In fact, Hamas’s ideological center and active secondary arena is Jerusalem.
Hamas employs a precise methodology in order to spread its ideology and recruit terrorists. It imitates the practices of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has long incubated radical Islamic movements, including Hamas itself. Now almost a century old, the Brotherhood seeks to win the hearts and minds of Arabs by providing legitimate social and cultural services, and then using them a stepping stone to political power.
Hamas used this tactic to take over Gaza. It won the 2006 legislative elections in Gaza by promising to crack down on crime, clean up the corruption that typified the Palestinian Authority’s governance, improve social services and provide economic opportunities to the beleaguered population. After it took power, however, and then seized control of Gaza in a coup, Hamas did nothing to end corruption or improve social services. The only economic opportunity it provided was by enlisting tens of thousands of Gazans into its terrorist army.
Hamas has employed this tactic in Jerusalem for years, right under the nose of the Israeli government, which to date has been ineffectual in countering it. As a result, Hamas’s influence is growing in Israel’s capital with a corresponding increase in terrorist activities.
In Jerusalem, many Hamas-affiliated groups are funded by Turkey and Qatar, which remain the primary foreign hosts for Hamas. For example, a group called Bureij Al-Laklak is funded by Turkey, operates sports clubs in Jerusalem and incites terrorism. It has disseminated a board game to children in which they compete to see who can murder the most Israeli soldiers. TIKA, financed directly by the office of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, provides financial assistance as a cover for its nefarious activities. It was expelled from Jerusalem in 2018 but has now returned. Kulana Maryam, in theory an educational group, recruits anti-Israel Arab Christians. Miratana provides educational services. None of these organizations’ activities are innocuous.
Altogether, there are more than 300 Arab non-profit organizations in Jerusalem, some of them enjoying tax exemption, which function with minimal monitoring by the Israeli government. Many of them allegedly funnel money directly to Hamas for terrorist purposes.
As a result of Hamas’s activities, the 350,000 Arab residents of Jerusalem have become increasingly radicalized, which leads to an increase in terror attacks. Many, if not most, of the terror attacks committed in Jerusalem over the last several years have been perpetrated by young people nurtured in organizations affiliated with Hamas.
Israeli law is currently ill-equipped to deal with these threats. Unfortunately, Hamas’s covert activities are shielded by laws that protect legitimate cultural, educational and charitable endeavors. These laws must be amended so as to allow the authorities free rein to shutter terror-connected groups.
Terrorist organizations around the world exploit the liberties and freedoms of democracies to their own benefit. They have discovered loopholes in the laws of many nations that allow them to operate under the radar and wreak havoc across the world. This cannot be allowed to continue, especially in Israel’s capital.
The Jerusalem Center for Applied Policy (JCAP) makes the following recommendations for how to counter this threat:
- Israel must close private Arab schools in Jerusalem whose curriculum incites terrorism.
- Israel must closely monitor the curricula in Jerusalem’s government-funded schools that serve the Arab sector. It must withhold funding from schools and fire educators and principals guilty of incitement.
- Schoolbooks need to be closely monitored. If they do not recognize Israel or incite terrorism, they must be banned from all schools.
- Incitement by religious institutions, imams and non-profits must be stopped and the perpetrators jailed or expelled. Funding for these institutions must be cut off.
- Terror-sponsors and their supporters must be stripped of their Israeli citizenship or Jerusalem residency.
- Moderate elements in the Arab sector should be cultivated as the next generation of the sector’s leaders.
- Surviving perpetrators of terrorism should spend the rest of their lives behind bars and their families should be expelled from Israel after their homes have been demolished.
Hamas is already in Jerusalem. Just as in Gaza, now is the time to eliminate it.
