This is an attempt to “break out” memes, links, and my commentary about the situation in Israel / the Middle East so as to not overload the standard meme posts that I do. My last “normal” meme post. In these Israel-related posts I don’t just have memes, but lots of informative links as well as hopefully-insightful commentary.
Note that this is not meant to be a day-by-day update about what’s going on. Rather, to highlight uncomfortable truths about the actual nature of the conflict, deep-history background, and so on, as well as to show the at-present immutable nature of Islamic Jew hate and why that matters to today’s events.

The IDF located in the home of a senior member of the terrorist organization Hamas in the Jabaliya area, suitcases of terrorist funds worth approximately NIS 5,000,000.
Note: 5,000,000 NIS is almost $1.4 million dollars. Cold, hard cash. Who would have thought being in an “open air concentration camp” paid so well. More on this:

Palestinian poll: Support for Hamas has tripled in Judea and Samaria – Geller Report
This does not bode well.
I had a conversation with a good friend of mine over there recently. He said that it’s looking like they need to drive the Arabs out entirely, which will ignite things everywhere. But there’s some Biblical wisdom here:
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
This is Nablus. Nablus is in the “West Bank”. Notice what they’re saying? Allahu ackbar.

Before you have the vapors over this, remember how many churches and synagogues and temples Islam has converted to become mosques over the centuries. Turnabout is not just fair play. To win a war you need to prove to the enemy they’ve been defeated.
IMHO the court martial of the soldier that did this was utterly wrong.

Gallant to Sullivan: Israel needs many months to destroy Hamas – JNS.org
Gallant told Sullivan that Hamas “is a terrorist organization that built itself over a decade to fight Israel and built infrastructure under the ground and above the ground, and it is not easy to destroy them. It will require a long period of time; it will last more than several months, but we will win, and we will destroy them [Hamas]. So thank you once again for coming to Israel, for helping us and for supporting us.”

Hamas’ Lust for Mutilation, Murder & Sexual Atrocity | Frontpage Mag
The propaganda strategy portraying Palestinians as helpless victims against Israeli aggression is calculated to evoke deep-seated feelings of humiliation and shame that prompts violence. The Palestinians, similar to many other Muslim Arab males, belong to what is referred to as an ‘Honor – Shame’ culture, in which men are in a constant struggle with fear of dishonor and maintaining “reputation.” Emotions of weakness, helplessness and shame are always just below the surface, triggered by a hypersensitivity to any real or perceived act of humiliation. Honor and reputation are everything and can only be restored through violent bloodshed which washes away the insult.
Revisiting this excellent essay about the shame culture:

More Hamas child abuse (barenakedislam.com)
Short video with this text:
It was 2 am and IDF soldiers noticed some suspicious movements in the horizon. In a time of war, that would generally mean to open fire. But the IDF, being the IDF, waited and then noticed it was a kid, a 4 year old girl.
She was walking around aimlessly without shoes and with multiple wounds.
The IDF soldiers took her to the field doctor, they treated her wounds and helped her in every way they could.
After they treated her, they brought her to the humanitarian corridor so they can try to locate her family and care for her.
Turns out, the child was sent by Hamas into the heart of a war zone to see if the Israeli soldiers were up and alert.
Their cruelty knows no bounds.

From a Telegram group I’m in:
New documentation of the abduction of Joshua Mollel , a 21-year-old student from Tanzania, from East Africa. Joshua was an agronomy student who came to study in Israel.
This week it was confirmed that he was murdered by Hamas, and that his body is still being held in Gaza by the terrorists.
ON INTERSECTIONALITY / LEFTIST SUPPORT
OK, so look what this Imam says about exception to having sex with married women – normally forbidden. But if a married kaffir woman is captured in jihad, it automatically annuls her marriage to her infidel husband, therefore she’s fair game for sex slavery! What a “convenient” revelation from Allah…

Jewish student says this elite college is looking the other way on hate crimes
Any other group – racial, sexual, etc., the whole student body and school administration would be up in arms about it.
Incidentally, I’ve seen multiple op-ed pieces and letters in the newspapers of the various colleges I’d attended – all screaming for a CEASEFIRE and castigating Israel and/or those pesky Jews, etc. I comment. And I’ve noticed that my comments are now not just not approved, but comments I’d made in the past that had been approved and visible have been disappeared – on every article on which I’ve commented, systematically and across the board. Same for my emailing the authors of such pieces. I recently sent a polite email, complete with links to posts supporting my argumentation; no reply.
And in the tone of those pieces to which I respond, whether by comment or by emailing the authors, I see the wisdom of Thomas Sowell here:

Understand the hierarchy of victimhood. You women, you’re not high on the list… and in Islam, you’re pretty much not a human at all. See this video (link to my Rumble channel):

Where’s the outrage by Planned Parenthood? The Women’s March? National Organization of Women? Emily’s List? Two months after Hamas’ massacre, NOW released a statement with this headline, “NOW condemns the use of rape as a weapon of war.” No mention of Hamas. No mention of Israel.
Israeli survivors and first responders described the horror. A survivor said: “He didn’t pick up his pants. He shot her while inside her.” An Israeli medic said: “There was a liquid on her back that looked like semen. She was shot in the back of the head.” Another first responder witnessed “a naked woman with a sharp object stuck in the intimate area of her body.” A morgue worker said, “We saw many women with bloody underwear, with broken bones, broken legs, broken pelvises.”
Can someone please square the circle on how women can support Muslims? Or is this the same N-dimensional thinking that permits the LGBTQP+ crowd to support Gazans…

Accusing Israel of Genocide | Frontpage Mag
The number of Arabs who remained in Israel after the War of Independence has grown from 200,000 in 1948 to more than 2 million today, representing an increase of more than 1,000 percent. This is “genocide”? Seriously?
The one thing to which I object here. While it was horrific, and IMHO differentiated from other genocides in history insofar as the Germans “only” wanted the Jews dead, not necessarily land or wealth or power or anything. But… Communism has murdered far more:

Again, not to detract in any way from the Shoah, but let’s not diminish other genocides.

Pallywood
I understand: this is an information war. But despite evidence after evidence after evidence that many of these things are faked… how is it that so many people eat it up so readily? Do they not think “little brown people” can be this shrewd?
There has been no 16-year “siege,” but only a narrowly-tailored blockade of “dual-use” materials, such as cement and steel rods, that can be used to build tunnels and bunkers. The fact that there is not enough work in Gaza is hardly Israel’s fault; it is due entirely to the corruption and mismanagement by Hamas itself, three of whose leaders (Khaled Meshaal, Mousa Abu Marzouk, Ismail Haniyeh) have stolen from the aid meant for Gaza the colossal sum of eleven billion dollars.
Speaking of misuse of construction materials, take a look at the construction materials… for a 4 km tunnel capable of car traffic:

And a video about it at my Rumble channel:

When Abu Zuhri says “nation”, he doesn’t mean the “Palestinians”, he means the Islamic nation. This is a call for a worldwide Jihad against America. That’s a bit redundant considering all the previous calls for Jihad against America. But it’s an important reminder that supporters of Hamas are all potential terrorists who are a national security threat to the United States.

I saw a post somewhere to the effect that the US administration were saying Israel is not committed to the two-state solution.

They’re determined to repeat the Sudetenland mistake hoping to appease the crocodile. Related:

THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS: After October 7, some leftists hopefully changed their view of Muslims
While it’s good to know she’s changed her mind about what people like her still call a “palestinian people”, it remains to be seen if any of these presumably no-longer-peace-activists recognize that Islam played a very horrific major role in the bloodbath of October 7. And what would Lahav say if “settlers” of background more religious than hers were the victims? Lahav should publicly renounce all associations with anyone who until now supported Islamic savages. And she’d do well to consider how many women in Europe, in example, have fallen victim to Islamofascism as well. Many on the left now owe a serious apology.
I, too, want to see the good in people. But sometimes Pollyanna views like this result in bitter lessons.

A CONCLUDING THOUGHT FOR THIS POST
If you read my MEME posts you know that laughter and humor are often better ways to get through to people than hammering them with raw – and sometimes brutal – facts and evidence and logic. So, this is almost certainly a fabrication… but nevertheless, entertaining.
TO WHOM DOES THE LAND OF ISRAEL BELONG??
An Israeli Sense of Humour at United Nations set the record straight. An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly and made the world community smile. A representative from Israel began:
“Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, ‘What a good opportunity to have a bath!”
Moses removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Palestinian had stolen them!
The Palestinian representative at the UN jumped up furiously and shouted, “What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren’t there then.”
The Israeli representative smiled and said, “And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.”
And humor about the UN and other things:
Very often small bits of truth, wrapped in something funny, get through peoples’ mental barriers as what I call Thought Splinters.
