Biden-Harris should help Israel take out Iran’s nuclear program — the world will thank them

…The US government has been calling for a “cease-fire” ever since the Hamas massacre of October 7 and Hezbollah joining in the war on October 8. But why should there be a cease-fire? If 44,000 Americans had been slaughtered in the most barbaric fashion in a single day and 10,000 further Americans taken hostage (which it would be by proportion of population), I would expect the American Army to tear up the Earth to punish the perpetrators and destroy any regime that was behind them. And if America’s allies spent every following day saying that America should exercise “restraint” and have a “cease-fire,” I would expect them to be ignored, and more. READ MORE

After speculation he was killed, Sinwar said to renew contact with Qatar
Staff
October 7, 2024
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has reestablished contact with hostage-ceasefire deal mediators in Qatar after weeks of silence that had stirred speculation he might have been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza, according to multiple reports Monday. Sinwar cut off contact because he believed Israel was uninterested in reaching a deal, unnamed sources with knowledge of the negotiations told the Channel 12 news site. A senior Israeli official told the Walla news site it does not seem that Sinwar has in any way softened his positions on a hostage-and-ceasefire deal. Hamas has demanded a complete withdrawal of the military from Gaza and a permanent end to the war, while Israel has refused any arrangement that would allow the terror group to retain control of the Strip and rebuild its military strength.

The saleswoman who convinced Hezbollah:New details about the pager explosions
October 6, 2024
…The exploding pagers were manufactured in Israel in 2022 and integrated into the supply line of the Thai manufacturer Apollo without their knowledge. A sales representative managed to convince Hezbollah to purchase 5,000 pagers, arguing that they were immune to Israeli spying. The representative recommended the model with the extended battery and the hard case. The terrorist organization purchased the pagers and equipped its operatives with them. The operation was preceded by another action by the Mossad a decade ago, during which hundreds of communication devices were sold to Hezbollah and transferred to its militants. These devices were not only equipped with explosives but also with tracking devices that allowed Israel to listen to conversations held on them. READ MORE

The big lie of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s 10 days in Palestine
Jonathan S. Tobin
October 9, 2024
There are times when terrible books can be useful. In the case of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ truly awful The Message, the author has not only demonstrated exactly how and why America’s chattering classes have not just turned on Israel and are supporting an ideological war against its existence…At virtually every other stop, Coates was treated as a hero, offered only softball questions and never challenged about the bogus nature of his latest work. But one journalist, Tony Dokoupil, a host on CBS Mornings, had the temerity to ask Coates some tough questions about the inaccuracies of his book and its true intent, which is to delegitimize and amplify calls for Israel’s destruction.

FREE PRESS How Is CBS Marking October 7? By Admonishing Tony Dokoupil The journalist did his job by asking tough questions of Ta-Nehisi Coates. That’s when the trouble began.
NEW YORK POST ADL defends anchor Tony Dokoupil after CBS News panned tense interview with author Ta-Nehisi Coates over Israel A prominent Jewish civil rights group has come to the defense of Tony Dokoupil after the “CBS Mornings” anchor’s bosses found he had an “ax to grind” during his tough interview with controversial author Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Post has learned. Jonathan Greenblatt, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, contacted CBS News chief Wendy McMahon on Monday just after it was reported that Dokoupil was reprimanded over his interview with Coates last week…
FREE PRESS Does CBS News Know Where Jerusalem Is? In late August, Mark Memmott, the senior director of standards and practices at CBS News, sent an email to all CBS News employees reminding them to “be careful with some terms when we talk or write about the news” from Israel and Gaza. One of the words on Memmott’s list of terms was Jerusalem. Of Jerusalem, Memmott wrote: “Do not refer to it as being in Israel.”

“Rabbis and liturgists are trying to find ways to honor personal loss and communal grief during Yizkor, the traditional memorial service”

One year after Oct. 7, a Yom Kippur ritual of communal mourning takes on fresh meaning
Andrew Silow-Carroll
October 6, 2024
…Yom Kippur begins this year on Oct. 11, four days after the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, and once again rabbis and liturgists are trying to find ways to ritualize raw communal grief on the holy day. A number of groups have put out supplements to the High Holiday prayer book, known as the mahzor, containing reflections, prayers and whole services addressing the mourning and anguish around the day and subsequent 12 months of a crisis that shows few signs of fading. The entire cycle of this year’s High Holidays is haunted by Oct. 7, especially Simchat Torah, the season’s climax: Hamas breached Israel’s southern fence on the holiday last year, and congregations have been struggling with how to celebrate what is supposed to be a joyous holiday on what is essentially the yahrtzeit, or death anniversary, of some 1,200 victims of the attacks and the kidnapping of hundreds more.

ETTINGER REPORT Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) Guide for the Perplexed, 2024 Asking forgiveness of fellow human-beings is a major feature of Yom Kippur, transferring human behavior from acrimony and vindictiveness to forgiveness and peaceful coexistence. It is consistent with the philosophy of Hillel the Elder, a leading 1st century BCE Jewish Sage: “The essence of the Torah is: do not do unto your fellow person that which is hateful to you; the rest [of the Torah] is commentary.” Yom Kippur highlights faith, magnanimity, humility, genuine-repentance, compassion, consideration, forgiveness, responsibility and optimism. It recognizes one’s fallibilities, emphasizes learning from one’s mistakes, minimizing future missteps, elevating morality and enhancing family and community cohesion.

Netanyahu’s critical choice: Iran, the US, and Israel’s next move
Herb Keinon
October 9, 2024
…On one hand, withholding information could benefit the US by providing plausible deniability, allowing them to convincingly claim ignorance and potentially avoid reprisal attacks. On the other hand, if they do share the plans and the US says “No,” what should their next step be? Various media reports indicate that the White House is increasingly upset with Israel’s lack of transparency and was angered when it only heard afterward about the assassinations of Hezbollah Chief of Staff Fuad Shukr in Beirut, Hamas head Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, and later Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. According to these reports, Washington is concerned that such actions could trigger a spiraling regional war, drawing the US in, and that Iran’s proxies might respond by targeting US assets in the region.

Oren: “Israel will retaliate against Iran and its venal proxies because defending our people from those who seek to massacre us is much of what our state is all about. Israel, at the risk of aggravating our allies, will survive”
CLARITY
The View from Israel’s Universe
Michael Oren
October 5, 2024
…A truly proportionate response—hitting Tehran with the same 25,000 rockets and missives that Iran and its proxies have fired at us since October 7—would not, however, be acceptable to the West. Israel, American and European leaders state, has every right to defend itself but must exercise that right prudently. In practice this means that there is no effective counteroffensive action that Israel can legitimately take. Israelis can only sit and be pummeled by enemy barrages until our interceptors run out. Israelis can only legitimately die. Israelis, of course, see things differently. We are already engaged in a regional war and have been, on multiple fronts, since October 7. For us, this is a total war for our national survival, a thoroughly just war against enemies dedicated to our annihilation. READ MORE

Why Israel is Innocent of the Accusation of Genocide in Gaza. And where the moral responsibility for Palestinian suffering really lies.
Jason D. Hill
October 10, 2024
…Israel’s moral purpose in winning the war is to vanquish Hamas—and further: given the Charter of Hamas which aims (again) to eliminate Jewry from the region and the world, to destroy Israel and, further, to establish a Global Caliphate, Israel must inflict generational damage as part of its winning strategy. This means it has to ensure that subsequent generations are rendered impotent in ever waging a destructive and annihilative war against Israel. There can be no mercy in this part of the execution of the war. Hamas was duly elected by an electorate that placed it in power. In January 2006 when the terrorist organization was elevated to power, the victory was hailed as an achievement in the democratic process in the Middle East. There is, then, no clear distinction between Hamas and the people who elected its leaders to power. READ MORE

One year after 10/7: Israel’s alliance with a weakened America brings dangerous consequences
David Goldman
October 7, 2024
…After Qatar’s Hamas client attacked Israel, Qatar exacted no penalties from Hamas, which continued to operate out of luxury hotel suites in Doha as it did before. The United States, which treats Qatar as an ally on par with Israel, exacted no penalties from Qatar. On the contrary, it elevated Qatar’s status as the mediator between Hamas and Israel. Meanwhile, the Biden administration granted Iran access to $6 billion in frozen accounts in South Korea in 2023 and released an additional $10 billion in frozen assets in March 2024. While China, Russia, North Korea, and others can bypass U.S. sanctions, the administration’s generosity toward a nation that supports Hezbollah and other terrorist groups is reprehensible. READ MORE
FUTURE OF JEWISH Joshua Hoffman: Dear America, Israel is not your puppet U.S. President Joe Biden did not speak to Netanyahu after Iran’s latest attack, and reportedly, the two had not spoken since August. The reason behind the disconnect is not a secret; it is a result of their hemorrhaging relationship. Since the beginning of the year-long war, the Americans have been communicating mostly through Gallant as their primary channel instead of dealing directly with Netanyahu. According to the upcoming book, “War,” written by renowned journalist Bob Woodward, Biden called Netanyahu a “f*cking liar” after IDF troops went into the consequential Gazan city of Rafah, and yelled at the premier after an Israeli strike took out a top Hezbollah commander.
