Yep, you nailed it … “Jerusalem is a burdensome stone for all people” (Zechariah 12:3) … “a cup of trembling unto all people round about” (Zechariah 12:2). I have thought off and on, it looks like a spear. Amir Tsarfati: Happy 74th birthday prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu! (Numbers 6:24-26) New York Times: Despite Israel's demand, no one checked what was really in the humanitarian aid trucks and if there were no weapons there. If you turn the cake I’m turning 15 today! Sad birthday during wartime with a daughter in the frontline and half of the family away. https://t.me/s/beholdisraelchannel In an unusual move, the European Parliament condemns Hamas, says it must be 'eliminated': The European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution on Thursday calling for the Iran-backed Hamas terror organization to be “eliminated” following the gruesome Hamas massacre on Oct. 7. The resolution was passed by an overwhelming majority (500:21) of the parliamentarians in favor. In its resolution, the European Parliament condemned “in the strongest possible terms, the despicable terrorist attacks committed by the terrorist group Hamas against Israel and expresses its support for the State of Israel and its people; reiterates that the terrorist organization Hamas needs to be eliminated.” Furthermore, the parliamentarians ask for the “unconditional release” of the more than 200 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, including babies and elderly people, noting that their abductions constitute a war crime. The European Parliament noted that the EU Commission, the unelected executive body of the European Union, had been sending mixed signals as one commissioner first decided the EU would cease to provide Gaza with aid, only for that decision to be immediately reversed. Not only that, but the EU Commission then decided to triple its aid to Gaza. https://allisrael.com/in-unusual-move-european-parliament-condemns-hamas-says-it-must-be-eliminated Thousands of ultra-Orthodox request to join IDF in war: New recruits to serve in support roles such as medics and search and rescue; 120 will be drafted on Monday and IDF says this is a dramatic decision in the Ultra-Orthodox society. Some 120 ultra-Orthodox men will join the IDF next week and thousands of others have requested to do the same, while Israel is fighting a war in Gaza and may be forced to fight Hezbollah in the north as well. The unprecedented move by 3,000 from the Haredi sector reflects a change that had not been seen before. The ultra-Orthodox have historically been exempt from military service under pressure from their political representatives in the Knesset and in the coalition, who say that the role of the Haredi man is to study the Torah and not to enlist. This has been a point of contention in Israeli society where service in the military or national service in the community is compulsory and most Israelis enlist in the IDF at 18 for a three-year service for men and a two-year service for women. The military also decided to recruit ultra-Orthodox volunteers to have more 'working hands'. These recruits will not undergo basic military training, but a quick enlistment process. Those young people will be recruited to fill administrative positions and will help facilitate the funerals for the fallen and murdered, accompany the families of the victims and fill roles in the logistics department. The IDF says that they are swamped with requests from Ultra-Orthodox to enlist, and recognize a historic opportunity to integrate them into army, civilian, or security service frameworks, which is why they are acting quickly. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bjq0hxlgp

For many years I struggled to understand how can anyone deny the most documented genocide in history - the Holocaust.
Then came October 7th with horrific videos from the GoPro body cameras of the terrorists, photos, and testimonials of search and rescue teams as well as of survivors. And to my astonishment, millions around the world still believe that these atrocities never happened.

So far since the beginning of the war, 6 Hezbollah squads have been attacked and eliminated. Since the beginning of the fighting in the north, 30 Hezbollah terrorists have been killed.
