[Eight minutes] [less than 23 minutes] 180,300 Christian citizens live in Israel – represents 0.6% increase over 2023, according to new statistics. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered the following video greeting to Christians worldwide on Tuesday morning, before Christmas Eve. “My dear Christian friends, as you gather with your family and friends this Christmas, I wish the Christian community in Israel and around the world blessings for a Merry Christmas from the Holy Land. At a time when Israel is fighting on seven fronts, we deeply appreciate the steadfast support of our Christian friends around the world. You've stood by our side, you've stood by our side resiliently, consistently, forcefully as Israel defends our civilization against barbarism. The people of Israel are united in defending our nation against those bent on our destruction. We seek peace with all those who wish peace with us, but we will do whatever is necessary to defend the one and only Jewish state, the repository and the source of our common heritage. Israel leads the world in fighting the forces of evil and tyranny, but our battle is not yet over. With your support, and with God's help, I assure you, we shall prevail. From Jerusalem, city of peace, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” https://allisrael.com/pm-netanyahu-greets-christians-in-israel-and-worldwide-christmas-eve-morning Amir Tsarfati, December 25: A passenger plane has crashed near Aktau Airport in Kazakhstan. Now, what is amazing? Try to ask yourself why. - I'll tell you even more: There are numerous Israeli journalists who know these details (I say this from personal knowledge). Today’s report: The Russian cargo ship that capsized in the Mediterranean Sea after an explosion was a “terrorist attack”, the vessel’s state-owned company said on Wednesday. 445 days after October 7, where does Iran stand? It’s proxy in Gaza, Hamas, is no longer functioning as an organized military organization. It’s proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, has lost its charismatic leader, is completely crippled and stands at a fraction of its pre-war power. The Assad regime, which Iran spent tens of billions of dollars propping up, does not exist anymore. Hamas will revert to what it was in the late 80s and 90s, a rag-tag militia with no rockets or influence. In it’s extremely weak state, if Hezbollah survives being eaten alive by internal politics in Lebanon, it will instead choke because it has no oxygen line through Syria. The massive Iranian weapons depot in Syria is now replaced with violently anti-Iranian militias. Even the pro-Iranian militias in Iraq see the writing on the wall and have been suspiciously absent with their “steadfast support for Palestine” since November.... quoting Amir's article: You don't have to celebrate Christmas if you are convinced of its pagan origins, but to miss out on the opportunity to tell the world the reason for the season would be an act of self-righteousness. If the Apostle Paul could be in the middle of pagan Athens and quote one of their pagan poets in order to steer the conversation to the real God, we can do the same! Good for you Amir! I am tired of self-righteous Christians! Amir Tsarfati, December 26: Syria plans huge lawsuit against Iran "We're not done with them, we're just getting started with them." Earlier today, Azerbaijan confirmed that the Azerbaijani plane that crashed yesterday was hit by a Russian missile, and not by a flock of birds as initially claimed. The disaster killed 38 people and injured about 30. Amir Tsarfati, December 27: I guess after the severe destruction in Gaza, Beirut, and southern Lebanon, and after the biggest blow to Iran and the ousting of the Assad regime, the Houthis in Yemen also wants to commit suicide for the sake of the defeated Palestinians. This alone shows you how much common sense and care for their own people has never been, is not, and will never be part of how a jihadist thinks. A group that has on its flag the slogan 'Death to America’, ‘Death to Israel’, and ‘Curse be upon the Jews' is more dedicated to destroying others than to caring for its own! In my opinion as based on what I’ve been seeing that the gangs of this new regime are doing - he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing! Meanwhile, journalist Cecilia Sala—a woman with zero links to terrorism—has just been kidnapped by Iran to silence her reporting on their human rights abuses. Again, jihadists aren't thinking like normal people. Therefore, let's stop talking to them as such. Very true. These aren't people you can sit with and have a normal discussion. A group that has on its flag the slogan 'Death to America’, ‘Death to Israel’, and ‘Curse be upon the Jews' is more dedicated to destroying others than to caring for its own! Let's stop accusing Israel of war crimes and lay the blame where it really belongs Amir Tsarfati, Dec 27 continued: Incoming Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Brian Mast, says Hamas has two options once President Trump is in office. In a phone call between Russian President Putin and Azerbaijan's President Aliyev, Putin apologized for the incident. According to the Kremlin, Putin explained to Aliyev that the Azerbaijani plane was hit while Russian air defenses were confronting Ukrainian drones.
The True Meaning of Hanukkah:
Amir Tsarfati: For Unto Us a Child is Born:
PM Netanyahu greets Christians in Israel and worldwide Christmas Eve morning:
More than 60 Russians were on board the crashed Azerbaijan Airlines plane.
There were 67 people and five crew members in total.
The crash was caused by the plane colliding with a flock of birds.
.....
On September 2024, Netanyahu made two decisions that decided the course of the war with Hezbollah within 10 days:
- The Pagers Operation (September 17, 2024)
- Nasrallah’s Assasination (September 27, 2024)
....Despite the objections, Netanyahu made the decision to proceed.
....In parentheses, I will add that in the operation to eliminate Nasrallah, the situation was even more extreme. Gallant and Halevi claimed that "American approval" was needed...
- This, even though they knew full well that the Americans would not approve the assassination operation for fear that the Iranians would react...
- What I am telling you here was shared by a female Mossad agent on the CBS program "60 Minutes". However, you did not see her because the American network simply did not include her in the broadcast. One of the two Mossad members who did appear on screen also told this story: how the operation was carried out and how decisions were made, but these details were not included in the program either.
- And give yourself the simple answer that the media in the US often mirrors the ideological perspective of the Israeli media, operating from a political agenda and choosing what to show or hide based on political considerations.
- How? Because they were briefed and told the details, not by the political echelon.
- But you haven't heard about it from them because they don't report on it....
