And the eclipses had to mean something.

Thanks for the flag pic.  I'm going to post that on my ladies forum.

Israel’s Memorial Day for the fallen soldiers and victims of terror:
My team and I stood still for two minutes as the siren went off across the country. [yesterday]
.....
Happy 76th Independence Day, Israel!
.....
With his announcement to halt the delivery of weapons, Mr. Biden has shredded Mr. Bush’s letter to Sharon. The consequences will be catastrophic even if Israel prevails in Gaza. The entire region and the world are closely watching leaders renege on commitments and strategic partnerships.
An American statement used to be like the U.S. dollar—universally coveted and esteemed. But times have changed and the dollar’s value, much like presidential assurances, has diminished. It should come as no surprise that countries such as Saudi Arabia now have a new list of demands for Washington, from a nuclear reactor to a defense alliance.
Now, instead of delivering promised support to an ally, the U.S. is hindering efforts. By halting the shipment of weapons to Israel, it is effectively sending Hamas the most potent weapon of all: hope.
.....
The Palestinian channels are "bothered" this morning by the waving of Israeli flags in the Temple Mount area on the occasion of Independence Day.
.....
Senior American officials confirm:
"Israel has finished mobilizing enough forces to launch a large-scale operation in Rafah. Israel has made a final decision to launch a large-scale operation in Rafah. About half a million civilians have been evacuated from Rafah."
.....
The Americans sold stories about a humanitarian disaster, about the weeks it would take to evacuate the refugees, to a lack of infrastructure to receive them, and what turns out in the end? Within a week at least half a million refugees left Rafah - there is no doubt that Biden simply does not want us to eliminate Hamas!

Israel should fully deploy forces into Rafah this week, the city is empty, there are almost no refugees. IDF forces at the entrance to the refugee camps in Rafah (Shaboura and Brazil) - progress is faster than expected!
.....
Israeli tanks have entered the neighborhoods of Al-Jneina, Al-Salam and Al-Brazil in Rafah. The last remaining battalions of Hamas are being destroyed as we speak.
Next will be the uncovering of Hamas’s monstrous underground tunnel systems. That’s what Egypt is worrying the most about!
.....
In 1922, the British gave away over 3/4 of the land reserved as the Jewish homeland to Arabs. The much larger portion of land went to the Arabs.

Jordan is the original two-state solution. In fact, Jordan was closed off to Jewish settlement. The British bent over backwards to appease the Arabs.

Today, Arabs remain displeased. They continue to want it all, even though they occupy large portions of the land that was reserved for the Jews. The “Palestinian” identity was born as a means to an end.
.....
Breaking: Armed terrorists spotted inside an UNRWA logistics center in Rafah, alongside UN vehicles.  Terrorists are seen armed inside the compound and shooting civilians right outside.
The UN and Hamas are the same!
.....
The EU adopted the Migration Pact today.
It introduces a “mandatory migrant relocation quota system” forcing all states to receive some of the migrants arriving by boat to the EU or be fined EUR 20000 for each migrant rejected.
Only Poland, Hungary & Slovakia voted against.

Jews in Europe are removing the mezuzah off their door to hide their Judaism:

In an interview with the Guardian, Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, President of the Conference of European Rabbis says that since October 7th and the ensuing war in Gaza, the Jewish communities across Europe have been grappling with a wave of increased hate speech, vandalism, harassment, and threats.

Some Jews in Europe have even consulted local rabbis on halachic questions in an attempt to find out whether it is permitted to remove Jewish symbols out of concern for their safety.

"The statistics show an increase of hundreds of percent in antisemitism throughout Europe. Many Jews are trying to hide their Judaism. One of the most common questions to Rabbis since October 7th is whether it is possible to take the mezuzah off the door. This says a lot," said Rabbi Goldschmidt.

He added that, "Other precautions that some people took included wearing hats instead of the traditional yarmulkah (skullcap) on the street, and avoiding speaking Hebrew when riding in Ubers. There used to be a red line between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. We have seen this red line disappear. I think that ultimately this is not a problem for the Jewish community. Ultimately, this is a big problem for Europe at large. This situation in the streets is destabilizing our society."

Rabbi Goldschmidt was asked if he was afraid that the verbal threats would also turn into physical violence, to which he replied, "It never stops with words."

Netanyahu photographed wrapping tefillin for the first time:

On Sunday, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared a poignant photo on social media, depicting himself donning tefillin – a rare public display for the leader. The image was accompanied by a heartfelt caption on Instagram: "'And all the peoples of the earth shall see that the name of the Lord is called upon you, and they shall fear you.' Ruchama, the mother of Moshiko Dvino, may his memory be blessed, who fell in Operation Protective Edge, brought me his tefillin. The tefillin were with him at all times during the battles and were the only item that survived the explosion, in which Moshiko was killed. The smell of gunpowder still remains on the tefillin case. I promised Ruchama that I would wear these tefillin for the elevation of Moshiko's soul and the elevation of the souls of all our fallen. This is what I am doing today with holy reverence. May the memory of our fallen be forever blessed and kept in our hearts."

The photo of Netanyahu wearing tefillin drew excited responses online, as it appears to be the first time the prime minister has been publicly captured performing the religious practice. "What a rare picture. You surprised us. Yeshar Koach (well done)," someone commented on Netanyahu's new post. Another wrote: "I am crying with excitement because Netanyahu is a person of substance and depth, and until today he has not agreed to publish a picture of himself with tefillin."

The emotional responses underscore the symbolic weight of the image, which not only pays tribute to a fallen Israeli soldier on Yom HaZikaron but also hints at a potential shift in Netanyahu's public persona, embracing a more overtly religious tone amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
