Amir Tsarfati:

The below was written by Hillel Fuld, an Orthodox Jew in Israel, on X:

I know this is a super unpopular opinion and I know I’m gonna get heat for saying this, as I always do, but if one person internalizes this, it was worth it.

Jews, listen to me, GET THE HELL OUT while you still can!

I grew up with grandparents who survived the holocaust. I heard all the stories firsthand. I heard how my grandmother was on the selection line with a Nazi in front waving his finger left or right to decide which Jew lives and which Jew dies.

I heard how she was selected to live but her cousin was less fortunate. So my grandmother risked everything, ran over to her cousin and pulled her over to her line. She saved her life and both of them lived to tell the story to their kids and grandkids.

Nazis all around, barking dogs, Jews being led to their death and she had the courage to do that.

But something always ate at me.

Before the Holocaust, in the years that led up to it, why didn’t the Jews leave?

I mean the rhetoric was clear, the discrimination was real, and they even legislated against Jews. What the hell were they thinking not leaving?

My whole life, I could not figure it out.

“They were comfortable.” Is the answer I always get when I ask that question.

Comfortable? Comfortable enough to die? How is that a consideration?

Well, the answer is that not only were they comfortable but they refused to read the writing on the wall. They refused to believe that what happened to their ancestors throughout Jewish history could possibly happen to them.

“It won’t happen here.” That’s what they believed.

In hindsight, we look back and can’t believe how blind they were.

And now, my Jewish friends, let me ask you this.

If I put a gun to your head right now and said “Get on a plane to Israel in the next hour or I pull the trigger…”, you’d get on a plane, right?

Which means that you don’t believe that what’s happening now across America and Europe constitutes a gun, so here’s the question. What does?

What event would constitute a gun? What event would make you realize you need to get out now? Are you reading the writing on the wall? Is there any event that you’d say “Enough is enough! I’m outta here!”

Now before you attack me for being insensitive, let me say this very clearly. I am not in any way belittling the challenge of picking up your life and moving across the world! I get it. I do. It’s super difficult. Nearly impossible.

I get it. You’re comfortable. You were born there. Your parents were born there. You can’t just pick up and leave.

Well, would you if your life depended on it? What about your kid’s life?

So tell me, what constitutes a gun?

Antisemites in congress?
Pop stars declaring their love for Hitler?
Jews being beaten in the streets?
Widespread violence against Jews?
Antisemitic slurs all over the streets and on the internet?
A president/prime minister turning on the Jews?
Literal antisemitic legal action in an international court?

Tell me please, what event has to happen for you to realize you’re in danger? Is there even an event? Would you stay there no matter what happens?

My brothers and sisters, if you live outside of Israel and are reading this, you probably feel very judged by my words. I get it. And I’m sorry.

But believe me, I write these words with great sadness and I write them from a place of love.

You are no longer safe in the streets of NY or London. You’re not safe in Paris nor are you safe in Montreal. In fact, it would be shorter to make a list of places that you are safe in outside of Israel.

Wait. I know what you’re thinking.

“Jews are safe in Israel?!! Do you not know what’s happening there? Are you not familiar with 10/7? How could you say you’re safer there? More Jews have died there than here!”

Fair question.  You’re right. Times are scary here. The war is scary. People are dying. Their houses burning.

There is, however, one small difference.  Here, someone cares about you.
...every member of the government agrees on one thing. They all agree that this country has one job and that is to protect you!

Listen, Israel will win this war and our enemies will be no more. Can you say the same for antisemitism in your streets? Are things going to get better over there? Is the genie going back into the bottle?

My advice to you is… Make a plan.
That plan can be a 2-year plan, a 5-year plan, a 10-year plan, I don’t care. But have a plan, an exit strategy.  Begin to internalize that you are not home over there.

Come home. We are waiting with open arms.

Exclusive — Sources Say Joe Biden’s Gaza Pier Is Endangering Troops’ Lives for a ‘Photo-Op’:

The Biden administration has publicly praised American troops who are part of the risky mission to deliver aid to Gaza via a temporary pier, but behind the scenes, sources tell Breitbart News that the troops’ safety is being endangered for a “photo-op.”

There are approximately 1,000 troops who are part of the novel operation to attach a floating pier to the coast of Gaza. The pier went operational on May 17, but eight days later on May 25, it broke apart due to heavy seas and had to be dismantled from the coast and repaired. It was reattached just last week.

Despite this, the Biden administration has insisted the pier operation has been a success.

But sources say behind the scenes, troops’ lives are being put at risk, sometimes for literal photo-ops.

One U.S. source involved in the mission said the pier has been targeted daily. “[There] absolutely has been gunfire and mortars. It’s all day and night nonstop,” the source said.

Indeed, due to the risk of sniper-fire, troops are ordered to wear tactical vests as far as five nautical miles out from the coast, and aid has to be rushed off the boats onto the temporary pier due to the “constant” attempts to attack the pier, according to the source.

Yet, minutes before the first boat filled with aid hit the pier, troops were ordered to roll up plastic covers on the trucks so that the aid could be photographed, the source said. Troops were also ordered to wash the aid trucks and sweep flour off of them so that they look good in photos.

The Biden administration has also boasted about the amount of aid moved over the pier — a little more than 2,000 metric tons to date, or approximately 4.6 million pounds. But sources say moving that amount of aid has taken a toll on troops.

Two U.S. sources said commanders are ordering troops to work 12 to 48-hour shifts with very little sleep so that they can move more pallets, which has led to “many accidents,” including one service member being “crushed” by a forklift.

The first U.S. source said it was lack of sleep that led to the service member being run and crushed over by an unlicensed forklift driver during night operations.

In addition, the sources said troops were getting “barely more than two meals a day,” with some getting only one meal a day, consisting of cucumber sandwiches.

Retired Israeli Defense Force Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi told Breitbart News in an interview on Monday that there are much easier ways to transfer aid to Gaza, and agreed that the operation was a photo-op.

“It’s easier to simply bring it to our port in Ashdod and there, put onto trucks and transfer it into Gaza. There was no real reason to do this pier,” he said.

“I think that the only reason I can think about, is it’s not really the aid per se, but it’s very visual. And I think it’s to show, ‘Look, we’re doing something you know we are really trying to bring a solution,'” he said.

Amir Tsarfati:

200 rockets fired from Lebanon on Israel today.
There is no “occupation” or disputed territories there. The border between Lebanon and Israel is internationally recognized.
Remember this when Israel retaliates soon, and Beirut looks like Gaza…

Of course it is, to be in the wolf's den that long without being eaten. May God bless him.
