The Silence of the Holocaust Museums

 

 

The worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust has been greeted with silence by some of the nation’s Holocaust museums including those which issued statements about BLM, the death of George Floyd and every possible issue and cause except the mass murder of Jews.

The Holocaust Museum of Houston has issued statements on its site about George Floyd’s death, “family separation at the U.S. border”, Texas opting out of the refugee resettlement program and rising violence toward “the Asian American and Pacific Islander Community”, as well as some Jewish issues, but no mention of attacks and violence against Jews in Israel.

Three weeks after the Simchat Torah massacres in Israel, it has yet to issue a similar statement on its own site, only on social media. The Holocaust Museum of Houston’s statements appear under its “Resources to Support Racial Equity and Justice” which includes books to read.

None of these books, such as ‘Between The World And Me’ by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who had recently signed a statement defending Hamas, ‘How To Be An Antiracist’ by Ibram X. Kendi, ‘Have Black LIves Ever Mattered?’ by Mumia Abu-Jamal, a cop killer, or ‘The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and the Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther’, as well as a book by the founders of BLM, focus on antisemitism. The Holocaust Museum of Houston does however promote the fringe racialist conspiracy theory that the government killed Malcolm X. Many of the authors recommended by the Holocaust Museum of Houston are antisemitic or promote antisemitic figures and movements. There’s room at Houston’s Holocaust Museum for the veneration of the Black Panthers and Malcolm X, both militant haters of Jews, but not Jews.

This is in sharp contrast to the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum which issued a statement condemning the massacre and stating that, “Hamas is a self-avowed Islamic terrorist organization that has the primary goal of annihilating the Jewish nation state of Israel and we strongly affirm Israel’s right to defend itself against this heinous threat.”

The Tucson Jewish Museum and Holocaust Center had in the past issued a statement that equated George Floyd’s death to the Holocaust and announced a ‘shiva’ mourning for Floyd. It also promoted BLM materials from the anti-Israel group, T’ruah.

On Oct 23, the Holocaust Center posted a message from the head of the JCRC, Lynn Davis, about the threats of “election interference” and “election integrity”, A past message was about racial segregation in Tucson. It’s currently promoting an event about ‘banned books’. Its current exhibits include “War Crimes: The World is Watching” about Ukraine.

The Tucson Jewish Museum and Holocaust Center is watching Ukraine, but apart from a brief Instagram message that fails to mention Hamas or condemn the atrocities, only wishes for “a more just, equitable and non-violent world” is closing its eyes to the murder of over 1,000 Jews.

After weeks of silence, South Africa’s Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre and the Durban Holocaust & Genocide Centre, which works with HIAS, issued a baffling statement mourning “the loss of so many innocent lives in Israel and Palestine” and comparing it to the Rwandan genocide without mentioning the mass murder of Jews or the Holocaust.

Most Holocaust museums surveyed did issue some sort of statement about the attacks, even if it was only to retweet a message from the local Jewish federation, and sometimes only on social media, where they are less widely visible. Some issued stronger press statements on their own sites but virtually none then followed up with further updates beyond one press release.

“This is what genocide looks like: innocent Jewish people hunted, kidnapped, killed in their homes, at parties, and in the street. Hamas isn’t targeting Israelis, it’s targeting Jews,” the Florida Holocaust Museum declared. And offered multiple updates.

The Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York issued a statement saying that it “condemns the attacks carried out by Hamas on Israel, during which innocent civilians, including children and the elderly, were taken hostage” and the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center spoke out against the “barbaric aggression against Jews and the State of Israel.”

The vast majority however did not put these statements visibly up front on their sites.

In Los Angeles, the Museum of Tolerance hosted a major rally against the Hamas atrocities in which thousands of Jews gathered to listen to speakers including the museum’s CEO Rabbi Marvin Hier connect the atrocities of the Holocaust to the ravages of Hamas terrorism.

However few museums followed the lead of the Museum of Tolerance in going beyond statements to actually engaging in more meaningful forms of community solidarity. Most have continued on with their usual programming rather than incorporate responses to the atrocities.

Holocaust museums have generally continued with their pre-existing programs. Traditional museums have limited their programming to exploring the history of the Holocaust while postmodern museums have put on exhibits about Ukraine, civil rights and the LGBTQ movement. Both behaviors show what is broken about Holocaust museums.

Museums robotically continuing on with commemorations of Kristallnacht without actually pausing to reflect and bring in the current attacks on Jews are violating their mission of ‘Never Again’ and museums that have displaced Jewish programming don’t even have that mission and have no reason to exist. Few Holocaust museums have managed to dynamically bridge the gap between the antisemitism crises of the past and present the way that the Museum of Tolerance has. Both types of museums treat antisemitism as part of a dead past.

Remembering the past is important and commemorating the dead is a crucial Jewish mission. It is why synagogues have plaques with little eternal flames with the names of those who have passed and some Jews hardly visit a synagogue except to recite the Kaddish prayer for the dead. But the reason American Jews invested so much effort into Holocaust commemorations was as a reminder to a comfortable population of the reality of murderous antisemitism.

Current events, not just the Hamas massacre of Jews, but the widespread show of support for it on college campuses, in the media and in the public square, is why those museums exist.

The silence of the Holocaust museums, their inability to pivot to dealing with the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust, exposes their moral failure. Contrary to their rhetoric, the Holocaust museums and commemorations did not prepare the Jewish community for this. This did not even prepare the Holocaust museums themselves to meaningfully address the crisis.

The notion that Holocaust memorialization was a viable substitute for a deeply rooted Jewish identity, a knowledge of authentic Judaism and for collective Jewish security, has utterly failed. Kristallnacht exhibits are important, but without the context of a larger Jewish identity, can just as easily be exploited by indoctrinated teenagers to argue that Israelis are the new Nazis.

The universalization of the Holocaust detached a key moment in Jewish history from the Jews and wrongly assumed that using it to teach tolerance would neutralize antisemitism. Not only did this approach fail at fighting antisemitism, but it has been hijacked to spread antisemitism, and it has left a generation of youth without the Jewish identity that would allow them to resist.

The most meaningful responses to the Holocaust are not to reduce it to dry history or to universalize it, but to hold on to the Jewish culture and life that the Nazis sought to destroy, and to learn the lessons of that past in order to prepare for the next wave of attacks. The two most meaningful responses to the Holocaust were not to be found in museums, but in the revival of traditional Judaism in America and the rebirth of the State of Israel. These ‘particularistic’ elements rejected by liberal Jews have long since proven their worth by building a Jewish future. Holocaust commemorations are important, but they are no substitute for a Jewish life.

The silence of some Holocaust museums and the refusal of most others to place the events of the High Holy Day Massacres at the top of their calendar is an institutional indictment. Jews have spent far too long building museums when we should have been building a future.

RCA HAD THIS UP ON THEIR SITE --- UNTIL I EXPOSED THEM AND SCHACHTER AS FRAUDS:

"a. Where the Conversion is Primarily for the sake of Marriage

i. Where marriage to a particular Jewish partner is a major incentive to a prospective conversion, there is an increased possibility that the geirus may come with less than the complete commitment necessary for a conversion that would be in keeping with the standards we are trying to set for the regional Batei Din. Nonetheless, experience also shows that such a motivation can result in converts of the highest caliber. Conversion for the sake of marriage therefore requires the Beit Din to constantly reevaluate if the candidate and future partner are likely to subscribe to the requisite beliefs and practices. The Beit Din must be convinced that if the potential spouse were to disappear from the candidate’s life, his or her commitment to the Jewish faith and people would not waver. These factors inevitably prolong the process and make examination of the prospective convert more intense. Indeed, should the couple mention a proposed wedding date as a deadline or goal, the Beit Din should respond that the process will take significantly longer than that......"

c. Requirements of Other People in a Candidate’s Life

i. When a candidate is previously intermarried or is converting for the sake of an individual Jew (as per above), the spouse’s observance level and attitudes must be consistent with the present and future Torah observance of the candidate and not be a source of conflict or opposition to the convert’s adopting a halachic lifestyle. The Beit Din should also consider whether other significant individuals in the candidate’s life such as parents, or any existing minor children, will have an impact on the success or failure of the process and the aftermath of conversion.

Bearing witness in the valley of the shadow of death 

 

A visit to the October 7 massacre sites reveals the birth of a horrific new discipline: the archaeology of terrorism 

 

Charred bone shards are all that remain of some of the victims of the mass murderous attack by Hamas on southern Israeli communities on October 7, 2023. Scientists and anthropologists examine and try to extract DNA from them for identification purposes at the National Center of Forensic Medicine (Abu Kabir) in Jaffa, October 16, 2023

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…

The verse in the title, from Psalms 23:4, and the entire chapter from which it derives (“The Lord is my shepherd”), are recited by Jewish communities every Sabbath, and by many Jewish and Christian communities at funerals. This chapter, with its powerful message, has sat in the foundation of my awareness from when I was a child. More than once, when in a frightening, or sad, situation, I remembered this passage.

As of the massacres conducted by HAMAS on October 7^th, 2023, and since I visited some of the sites of these horrific crimes two and half weeks after they occurred, this verse has a completely new – and horrific – meaning for me.

I visited three different locations: the music festival near Kibbutz Re’im, and private homes at Kibbutz Kfar Aza and Kibbutz Be’eri.

I came there wearing several hats: a concerned and shocked Israeli – a son, a husband, a father and a grandfather, a human being trying to understand how such horrific things could have happened, and as an archaeologist, who usually sees evidence of violence and death with centuries or millennia filtering it, “softening” the blow.

At the site of the music festival, I saw the large open area where hundreds upon hundreds of people, young adults, families with young children, and music and peace lovers of all ages, backgrounds and origins, fled in terror from the HAMAS terrorists who were shooting at them. All around we could see their shoes and bags, their underwear and cosmetics, the baby toys and safety seats, which they dropped and left, as they ran in terror. The terrorists, who surrounded them on all sides, hunted them down, shooting hundreds, raping and then killing girls and women, and then took scores as prisoners back to Gaza. Some of the festival participants tried to hide in refrigerators that were in the bars and food stands at the festival, and the terrorists systematically went and opened each one and shot those hiding in terror in them. This massacre was not carried out by coincidence – various reports indicate that the timing of the HAMAS attack was to enable them to attack the festival – and this in fact was one of the first targets of their attack.

We then went to Kibbutz Kfar Aza, situated right next to the border with the Gaza Strip, and one of the first places attacked. Hundreds of terrorists stormed the kibbutz, and for hours, only the local civilian response team fought back – most of whom did not survive.

Here, even though the bodies of the murdered Israelis – and of the terrorists who had been killed while attacking the kibbutz – had already been removed, tangible evidence of the horrible terror could be seen. Right next to where the HAMAS terrorists burst into the kibbutz, there was a small neighborhood, comprised of a small road with houses and apartments on both sides, about 20 in all. This was the neighborhood where the young adults of the kibbutz lived. The murderous terrorists went from house to house, apartment by apartment, and murdered the occupants.

I saw blood and brains splattered on floors, walls and windows; I saw a couch with a big blood stain on its back, and a bullet hole showing how the person sitting on the couch has been shot, and right above the couch, at the level of the person’s head, and bullet hole in the wall and blood and brains splattered on the wall; and in the next room, the supposed “safe room,” which served as shelter, blood stains on the mattress and the floor were evidence of yet another murder. These were the scenes in room after room. People caught in their homes, hiding in terror in safe rooms, and murderous terrorists bursting in and killing them, without mercy or moral compunction.

The smell of death was everywhere – a strong and overpowering combination of drying blood, smoke, gunpowder and burnt wood.

Standing in this carnage and these ruins, I could not but think that this was the “valley of the shadow of death”! Here was what this means – not in a theoretical way, and not even through seeing it at other sites of massacres of relatively recent times (such as the Holocaust, the Killing Fields, or similar places). Here I could see the actual remains of the murdered people, evidence of their lives before they were slaughtered, and the sights and smells of their horrible deaths.

We then went to Kibbutz Be’eri, another one of the sites of indescribable carnage and murderous mayhem. Here I saw family houses that had been burnt down with their occupants, since the families remained in their safe rooms and did not come out, and the HAMAS terrorists burnt the entire houses down, burning the occupants to death.

In some of the houses, the destruction was so massive that the occupants’ remains were reduced to ashes and could not be identified. To assist in identifying the remains of all the murdered people, colleagues of mine from the Israel Antiquities Authority stepped in, using archaeological techniques to find remains of those murdered. I had a chance to see my brave colleagues conducting this indescribably hard and gut wrenching work, at times done under enemy fire! While I have often excavated remains of ancients who suffered death and destruction, here this was carried out on people who had been murdered less than three weeks ago. The archaeologists, sifting through the remains in these houses, managed to find bones and teeth of some of the deceased, which will enable identification – and burial. A new type of archaeology has been born – the archaeology of terrorism…

Perhaps the hardest and most disturbing scene that I saw, amongst all the horrible sights of blood, brain, carnage and destruction, was in one of the houses at Be’eri. Approaching the house, once again a strong stench of death was hanging in the air. On the porch, in front of the main door of the house, there was a large pool of congealed blood. Amongst this blood I saw a meat cleaver, two knives and a hammer, the weapons used to kill the person whose blood was on the floor. I then entered the home, and right behind the main door, next to the dining room table, another large stain of blood was on the floor, and in it a large knife – once again, a weapon used to murder this victim. Moving further into the house, in the “safe room” there were large bloodstains on the mattress of the bed in the room, and splattered blood all around. Here was horrifying, indescribable evidence of the murder of an entire family.

Most importantly, this was probably committed not by the “Nukhba” terrorists (the elite unit of the HAMAS) who spearheaded the attack, but very likely by regular Gazan who followed them, after the various communities were overcome. These Gazans killed, raped, plundered and took captives on their own. They didn’t kill using guns – they killed using house utensils that they found.

As I stood outside of this house, trying to gather my breath and working hard not to break down, I thought of the poem that Haim Nahman Bialik, the Israeli national poet, wrote after witnessing the Kishinev pogrom of 1903. This poem, “the City of Slaughter”, became an iconic text in early Zionism.

Here is an excerpt of the English translation of this Hebrew poem:

“…Get up and walk through the city of the massacre,
And with your hand touch and lock your eyes
On the cooled brain and clots of blood
Dried on tree trunks, rocks, and fences; it is they.
Go to the ruins, to the gaping breaches,
To walls and hearths, shattered as though by thunder:
Concealing the blackness of a naked brick,
A crowbar has embedded itself deeply, like a crushing crowbar,
And those holes are like black wounds,
For which there is no healing or doctor.
Take a step, and your footstep will sink: you have placed your foot in fluff,
Into fragments of utensils, into rags, into shreds of books:
Bit by bit they were amassed through arduous labor—and in a flash,
Everything is destroyed…”

While less than 50 Jews were murdered in that pogrom, it had a profound effect on the modern history of the Jewish People. On October 7^th, the death toll was about 30 times worse! Clearly, this horrible event will be a watershed moment in Jewish history, and perhaps world history. Time will tell.

I also heard first hand reports of the incredible bravery of the civilians in the various communities, and IDF soldiers and officers, who fought valiantly, against unspeakable odds, during the attacks, saving hundreds of civilians in the process. I talked with members of the civilian first response team at Kibbutz Be’eri. Although the team was comprised of only around ten members, most of whom were only armed with pistols, and who lost several members of the team during the fighting, they managed to fight off the terrorists, without almost any help from the IDF, from early morning until the late afternoon. While they could not stop the terrorists from killing close to 100 kibbutz members, they did manage to save hundreds of others due to their bravery. If ever someone deserved a medal of honor – it should go to the members of these civilian first responder teams!

I was fortunate. I was not at these sites during these horrible terror attacks. I woke up on Saturday, October 7^th like any normal day, and only realized that something was amiss when the air raid sirens went off due to rockets being fired from Gaza. I was not present when these heinous terrorists attacked peaceful civilian communities, killing, raping, torturing and abducting hundreds of infants, children, men, women, elderly and sick.

I was lucky. However, visiting these locations, at which such murderous, barbaric attacks occurred, seeing the horrific evidence of the murderous rampage – and blood and brains, the destruction and burning – I will never be the same – in any of the “hats” mentioned above. I ended this day in a state of horror, unable to think clearly. All I wanted to do was cry. I came home, took off my clothes and shoes, which still reeked of death and destruction, shared some of my feelings with Adina, my partner, and collapsed asleep.

But in the morning, I woke up and decided that I must write down my initial feelings about this – which you see here – and hopefully, soon, I’ll write some more, and then we’ll take the films that the videographer Yuval Pan took on site, and try to convey to the world some of the horrors that we saw.

May the victims of this barbaric massacre rest in peace; may the wounded heal, both physically and mentally; and may the kidnapped return without any delay.

And may the terrorists, their facilitators and supporters, be punished by death!

Tens of Thousands Of Jewish Hostages In Iran!

Iranian Jews forced to cut ties with relatives in Israel

 

During the demonstrations, the demonstrators & the chief rabbi of Iran even waved banners in Hebrew condemning "Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people."

 

Iranian Israelis say their relatives in Iran have left family Whatsapp groups and are even blocking their Israeli contacts.

The UK-based Persian language television channel Iran International reported on Wednesday that after the war began between Israel and Hamas, the Iranian regime threatened the Jewish communities in the country.

Jews of Iranian origin in Israel are reporting that their relatives in Iran have left family Whatsapp groups and are even blocking the numbers of all their Israeli contacts.

Since the start of the war, concern in the Jewish community of Iran, which numbers several tens of thousands of members, has spiked.

The report adds that the local Jewish community organized pro-Gaza demonstrations in Teheran, the capital, and in the city of Esfahan. The demonstrations were held under the headline: "Judaism has no connection with Zionism."

During the demonstrations, the demonstrators even waved banners in Hebrew condemning "Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people."

The Difference Between Us & Them!

IDF SOLDIER RESCUING ARAB BABY

 

Arab Murderers Burn Jewish Babies Alive

RABBI MEIR KAHANE (CNN) 1983 - "Jewish Interests Comes First" This Thursday – the 18th of MarCheshvan – marks the 33rd yahrzeit of Rabbi Meir Kahane Z"L..

Kahane was buried on Har HaMenuchot, in Jerusalem. He was eulogized by supporters in both the U.S. and in Israel, including Rabbi Moshe Tendler and the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, Mordechai Eliyahu, who spoke of how little the people understood of Kahane's true value.

Gaza is NOT Occupied - Eric Weinstein

The Global War on the Jews Anti-Semitism surges, even in the West, which shows why Israel exists.

The painful, painstaking work of Israel’s burial societies

The disturbing fact of the past month is that Jews are under attack not only in Israel and not only by Hamas. The weeks since the barbaric Oct. 7 Hamas invasion of Israel have witnessed physical assaults on Jews the world over, including in the U.S. and Europe. This most modern of pogroms—global, televised, politicized—demonstrates exactly what is at stake as Israel ramps up its defensive war against Hamas in Gaza.

The Islamist group and its Western enablers are pursuing or justifying a genocidal war against Jews, not merely a territorial dispute with Israel. And since Western governments too often seem unable to protect the Jewish minorities in their midst, Israel must defend itself as the only safe home for the Jewish people.

This weekend hundreds of rioters in Dagestan, Russia, stormed an airport in search of Jewish travelers. Mobs raided hotels in other parts of the North Caucasus looking for Jews, and a Jewish community center under construction in the city of Nalchik was the target of an apparent attack.

Germany has witnessed a spate of anti-Semitic incidents, including an attack with Molotov cocktails against a synagogue in Berlin on Oct. 18. Some Jews found Stars of David painted on their homes, an echo of the Nazi persecution. German politicians have been forceful in their denunciations, but apparently not forceful enough in their policing.

Two Jewish schools in London closed for a period over safety concerns, and some British Jews no longer feel safe wearing visible symbols of their faith. They’re probably right to worry the state can’t protect them. Tens of thousands of protesters in London over three successive weekends called for “jihad” and chanted “from the river to the sea,” a demand for the erasure of Israel and by extension its citizens. A crowd in Sydney, Australia, chanted “gas the Jews” after the Hamas attack.

Americans like to believe such things couldn’t happen in the U.S. They have. The Anti-Defamation League last week reported a 388% increase in anti-Semitic incidents from Oct. 7-23 compared with the same period a year ago. The 312 incidents the ADL recorded include a car carrying individuals with Palestinian flags allegedly swerving toward a Jewish family and several alleged assaults by pro-Palestinian protesters. The ADL tally counts 109 anti-Israel rallies that featured support for Hamas or violence against Jews in Israel.

These and too many other incidents to count put paid to the notion that one can distinguish anti-Zionism from anti-Semitism since Oct. 7. If protesters wanted to burn Israeli flags in a fit of wrong-headed pique about a two-state solution, that is one thing. Only anti-Jewish hate can explain how synagogues, children and airports are targets of this outrage.

Yet many Western intellectuals—and a growing number of politicians—insist on maintaining this false distinction. They’ve seen what Hamas has done to innocent Israeli civilians, and what pro-Hamas protesters have said and done in Western streets. They’d nonetheless forgive any violence by Hamas or Hezbollah against Jews as anticolonial defiance.

This is why Israel is fighting, and must fight, as hard as it is for its survival as a state. And why it’s inexcusable for any Western politician now to demand a cease-fire in Gaza. No leader who is demonstrably incapable of protecting Jews in his or her own country should try to prevent Israel from defending itself. This is how the West slips from “never again” into “nowhere is safe.”

This global war on Jews also clarifies what is at stake for Western societies in this fight. The West spent the decades after the civilizational catastrophe of the Holocaust vowing never again to allow itself to slide into such barbarism. What we see now in the attacks on Jews is how that slide began.

Before there was a Chancellor Hitler in 1933, there were roving bands of Brownshirts inflicting political and anti-Semitic violence on the streets of Germany. They too often went unchecked by police, prosecutors and politicians who didn’t understand the menace, sympathized with the offenders, or merely felt overwhelmed by the scale of the danger. Hitler gained power in part because the German state no longer could maintain its monopoly on violence in defense of democratic values.

Today’s threats to democracy are different, but one lesson is the same and is crystal-clear: A Western society that can’t or won’t muster the will to defend its Jewish neighbors and fellow citizens won’t be able to defend itself.

EMPTY STREETS IN JERUSALEM

Mir Yerushalayim Closing Temporary US Locations, Will Return All Bochurim To Eretz Yisroel  -  While Israeli forces battled on four fronts Wednesday, hitting targets in Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and Gaza and fighting off a sea incursion, in a new sign the war with Hamas was slowly expanding to Iran-backed forces around the region.

EXPLAIN THE MAPS TO THE FINKEL BROTHERS

The Mir Yeshiva of Yerushalayim has provided an update to the parents of their bochurim, saying in a new message that they will be closing its satellite locations in the US and return all of its operations to Eretz Yisroel – noting that “given the current conditions, it is now clear that it is possible to comfortably and confidently return to Eretz Yisroel.”

The yeshiva sent out the following letter to parents:

With חסדי שמים , we have witnessed a distinct סייעתא דשמיא at work in the learning established for the בחורים of the Yeshiva here in the USA. As you surely know, the Yeshiva has gone to great lengths and invested substantial efforts so that the בחורים of Yeshiva can immerse themselves in learning. Indeed, our dear בחורים are sitting and toiling in their learning with great diligence and התמדה , achieving remarkable הצלחה .

Yet, at this time, we must firmly heed the unequivocal call and הוראה of the ראש הישיבה שליט”א , in conjunction with other גדולי ישראל . Given the current conditions, it is now clear that it is possible to comfortably and confidently return to Eretz Yisrael, to learn within the ישיבה הקדושה , where the true עיקר of הצלחה in Torah learning and עליה רוחנית is achieved.

And the Rosh Hayeshiva said that the special סייעתא דשמיא that תורה מגנא ומצלא these days to the Talmidei Hayeshiva is to those who Shteig in all sedorim and Tfilos of the Yeshiva including Friday and Shabbos.

Therefore, it is expected that each and every one return as soon as feasible to the Yeshiva in Eretz Yisrael, to rejoin their חב ו רה and רב נ ים within the ישיבה הקדושה .

Consequently, this temporary learning arrangement in Woodbourne will remain open only until Thursday after morning Seder, the 11th of Cheshvan.

Weapons Flood West Bank, Fueling Fears of New War Front With Israel

AMMAN—Long before Hamas militants burst out of their Gaza stronghold to massacre scores of civilians with handguns and assault rifles, Iran and its allies had accelerated efforts to smuggle weapons into a different part of the Palestinian territories, the West Bank.

Using drones, secret airline flights and a land bridge that traverses hundreds of miles and at least four national borders, the smuggling operation is raising the specter of a new conflagration  in the war between Israel and Palestinians. It also poses a growing threat to Jordan, a staunch U.S. ally which borders Israel and the West Bank and has been struggling to contain a growing flow of drugs and arms.

“Iran wants to turn Jordan into a transit area for weapons going into Israel,” said Amer Al-Sabaileh, founder of Security Languages, a counterterrorism think tank in Amman. “But my fear is that the weapons might be used in Jordan as well. Where is the easiest place in the Middle East to punish the U.S. and the West? Jordan,” he said. 

Iran is a patron of Hamas, which it over the years has supplied with money, weapons and training. But as Egypt has cracked down on smuggling routes through the Sinai Peninsula, which borders on the Gaza Strip, Hamas has become increasingly self-reliant on indigenously built weapons, especially rockets.  

The bulk of Iranian weapons to Palestinians go into the West Bank, particularly to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a militant group allied with Hamas, according to a senior Jordanian security official. Both have been designated terrorist organizations by the U.S., Europe and Israel. The official said networks of smugglers, assisted by the Syrian government and Iranian-backed militias like Hezbollah, were growing. 

“The weapons flow has really increased, specifically over the past year. This is because Iran has been much more focused on the West Bank recently, and trying to arm some of the groups there, especially the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which is Iran’s more direct partner,” said Michael Horowitz, Israel-based head of intelligence at Le Beck International, a risk consulting firm.

Rabbi Meir Kahane’s Open Letter to the World

By Rabbi Meir Kahane, Z"L - Tue, September 19, 2006, 4:51 pm

Rabbi Meir Kahane, OBM, was a strong Jew who believed in a Jewish State that apologized neither for its Jewishness nor its willingness to fight to survive. He was vilified by the Left, especially the Israeli government as he gained popularity dramatically among the Likud voters, threatening the status quo. The Israeli Supreme Court outlawed his party as racist when it used quotes from the Five Books of Moses. He was assassinated by an Arab named Nosair on the streets of New York -- the same Arab who later stood trial as a co-conspirator of Shaikh Omar Abdel Rahman and received a life sentence plus fifteen years imprisonment for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, conspiracy to use explosives against New York landmarks, and a plot to assassinate U.S. politicians.

The following is a letter Rabbi Kahane, OBM, wrote to the world. It is a strong letter based on an unpleasant history, but a true one nonetheless. What rings out, however, is the clarifying distinction between the call by Muslims and Arabs around the world claiming victimhood and hatred and calling for murder and indeed terrorizing the world with actual murder, and this one Jew's proclamation that his desire is not to conquer or convert but to be left alone. With all of the Left-wing and Arab-based conspiracy theories of Jews manipulating the US government into war expeditions in Iraq and elsewhere, the simple truth is that Jews around the world would be happy to be just left alone in one little piece of real estate surrounded by more than 21 Islamic states with a collective land mass 649 fold greater than Israel's and a total population 49 fold greater. When Muslims can blame the Jew, the American, the European, and even the Pope for their misery and wretchedness, one might conclude that the condition they find themselves in is a product of their own making and constitution.

The text of the letter follows:

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE WORLD

Dear World,

I understand that you are upset by us, here in Israel.

Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry.

Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset by us. Today, it is the "brutal repression of the Palestinians"; yesterday it was Lebanon; before that it was the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Baghdad and the Yom Kippur War and the Sinai campaign. It appears that Jews who triumph and who, therefore, live, upset you most extraordinarily.

Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we - the Jewish people - upset you.

We upset a German people who elected Hitler and upset an Austrian people who cheered his entry into Vienna and we upset a whole slew of Slavic nations - Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians and Romanians. And we go back a long, long way in the history of world upset.

We upset the Cossacks of Chmielnicki who massacred tens of thousands of us in 1648-49; we upset the Crusaders who, on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us.

For centuries, we upset a Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through inquisitions, and we upset the arch-enemy of the church, Martin Luther, who, in his call to burn the synagogues and the Jews within them, showed an admirable Christian ecumenical spirit.

And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that we decided to leave you - in a manner of speaking - and establish a Jewish state. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you, as resident-strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we upset you, irritate you and disturb you. What better notion, then, than to leave you (and thus love you)- and have you love us and so, we decided to come home - home to the same land we were driven out 1,900 years earlier by a Roman world that, apparently, we also upset.

Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please.

Having left you and your pogroms and inquisitions and crusades and holocausts, having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own little state, we continue to upset you. You are upset that we repress the poor Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East.

Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The "radical" Arabs are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset.

Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel.

In 1920 and 1921 and 1929, there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish State to upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered tens of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed and Hebron. Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered one day in Hebron in 1929.

Dear world, why did the Arabs - the Palestinians - massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in Arab riots between 1936-39? Was it because Arabs were upset over 1967?

And when you, dear world, proposed a UN Partition Plan in 1947 that would have created a "Palestinian State" alongside a tiny Israel and the Arabs cried "no" and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews - was that "upset" caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of "upset" then?

The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who when they had all the territories they now demand be given to them for their state -attempted to drive the Jewish state into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of "itbach-al-yahud" (Massacre the Jew!) that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream - destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today, but we should not "repress" them.

Dear world, you stood by during the holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres.

You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea. And you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction. And since we know that the Arabs-Palestinians dream daily of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world, well think of how many times in the past you bothered us.

In any event, dear world, if you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less.

It merely delays the inevitable, lowers morale, and reduces the small window of time the world has allotted Israel to spend in Gaza toppling Hamas.

 

What is delaying Israel's ground invasion into Gaza? Hamas is Using The Hostage Drip To Play The World & Israel! PM

 

Aerial bombing absolutely can pave the way for an earlier invasion, but it does not eliminate risk or ground troop losses.

IDF soldiers inspect the remains of a police station in Sderot, which was the site of a battle following a mass infiltration by Hamas gunmen from the Gaza Strip, on October 8.

When Hamas invaded southern Israel and massacred 1,400 people on October 7, the proposition among the IDF to enter Gaza arose almost immediately, and a ground incursion was expected to be launched within a few days.

The reasons to invade at the time, however, are quickly becoming obsolete. And as the invasion delays further, a variety of reasons are being brought forth as to why this is so – more than two weeks into this war.

The first reason, and the most obvious, is that in the first week of the war, not all of the 360,000 IDF reservists were in the right places with the right gear, and they were not all fully updated and trained for their disparate missions. So, they were not prepared to enter.

This is no longer true. Troops can always improve their readiness, but waiting and training for too long without acting creates skittishness and uneasiness, and it negatively impacts morale.

The second reason, cited last week – at which time it arguably made sense, and which the IDF is still citing – is to allow more time for Gazans to evacuate. By the end of the first week of fighting, around 500,000 Palestinians – roughly 50% – fled from northern Gaza southward. By the start of this third week, the number was up to above 700,000, close to 70%-75%. The argument is strong here to wait a little longer to enter so as to give more time for more civilians to evacuate. But it stands to reason that those who have not yet fled the targeted sites in the Strip will not do so.

This means that the IDF is going to be stuck fighting an urban battle against Hamas with many civilians. It was always going to be this way, somewhat due to Hamas’s entrenchment in Gaza; delaying the incursion is not going to change that.

The third – and probably the most decisive – reason is the following: The more IAF attacks there are, the fewer IDF losses there will be once they enter on the ground, because the remaining Hamas forces will be significantly weakened.

This was true for delaying from week one to week two, but it has been almost impossible to decode any new progress by the IAF in the last several days other than simply hitting a higher quantity of targets.

After each additional day of hundreds of strikes, the fact is that Hamas has thousands and thousands more rockets to keep firing and some tens of thousands of fighters, a majority of whom will not be killed or captured without Israeli troops on the ground. Hamas’s ability to maintain some level of fighting will not stop without a long ground invasion.

Once the invasion begins, many soldiers will die

Once the ground invasion starts, a large number of soldiers will die, more than in any of the rounds of conflict we have seen in recent decades. There simply is no other way to subdue Hamas.

Aerial bombing absolutely can pave the way for an earlier invasion, but it does not eliminate risk or ground troop losses.

So, whether the driving force here is political fear or authentic guilt about ordering a significant number of young troops to their deaths, that concern cannot justify a further delay of the invasion.

It merely delays the inevitable, lowers morale, and reduces the small window of time the world has allotted Israel to spend in Gaza toppling Hamas.

As Thomas Jefferson said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” No one should rush into such a scenario, but Israel and the IDF are long past the point of rushing and have reached the stage of dwindling returns.

“People Love Dead Jews”

There is a reason so many Jews cannot stop shaking right now. The concept of intergenerational trauma doesn’t begin to describe the dark place into which this month’s attack plunged Jewish communities around the world.

On Oct. 7, a Jewish holiday, Hamas terrorists went house to house in southern Israel murdering and abducting children and grandparents, pulling them from their beds, displaying victims’ dead bodies online, in a massacre of at least 1,400 people. In at least one instance, terrorists were reported to have uploaded a video of the murder of one victim to her own social media account for her family to discover.

The feeling of deep dread that these atrocities stirred in Jews was horribly familiar. This is what Jewish history has all too often looked like: not civilians tragically killed in war but civilians publicly targeted, tortured and murdered, with the crimes put on public display. Accounts of past crowd-pleasing killings are folded into Jewish tradition; every Yom Kippur, we recount the public torture and execution of rabbis by their Roman oppressors in a packed second-century stadium. Those ancient stories are consistent with the experiences of the more immediate ancestors of nearly every Jew alive today.

I’m not even talking about the Holocaust, which several of last week’s oldest escapees and victims also endured. (Far more Jews were killed on Oct. 7 than on Kristallnacht.) No, I’m thinking of the Farhud pogrom in 1941 Baghdad, a two-day rampage in which hundreds of Jews were raped, tortured and murdered. I’m thinking of the pogroms of 1918-21 in Ukraine, in which an estimated 100,000 Jews were slaughtered in organized massacres, reminiscent of this month’s attack.

I’m thinking of the lynching of Leo Frank in Georgia in 1915, after which the delighted crowd’s snapshots of Frank’s body were made into postcards mailed around the country and pieces of his clothing were sold as souvenirs. I’m thinking of how many of the earliest books off Europe’s first printing presses were about the executions of Jews accused of the blood libel and of a 10th-century massacre of thousands of Jews in the Spanish caliphate encouraged by a poem calling for Jewish blood and of the paintings and illuminated manuscripts showing Jews who were burned alive by the Spanish Inquisition and during the Black Death — all crowd-pleasing events celebrated in popular media and art.

Even ancient Romans celebrated their destruction of Judea by issuing commemorative coins featuring a bound Jewish woman and inscribed with the words “Judaea capta.” The humiliation and murder of Jews have always made a great meme.

Many American Jews, like Jews around the world, are descendants of those who survived. Our ancestors, in one way or another, were the ones who either made lucky decisions or barely made it out alive from Lodz and Kyiv and Aleppo and Tehran.

For diaspora Jews, the recent attacks were not distant overseas events. As was true in ancient times, the ties between global Jewish communities and Israel are concrete, specific, intimate and personal. My New Jersey Jewish federation has institutional ties with the southern Israeli town of Ofakim and its surrounding communities, sharing annual home stays with a place whose death toll from the attacks already exceeds that of the notorious Kishinev pogrom of 1903, in which 49 Jews were murdered. Millions of American Jews, not to mention Jews in Britain, France, Australia and elsewhere, have friends and relatives in Israel. Even if Hamas hadn’t made it clear that they see all Jews as targets, our connection is personal and all too real.

We spent days desperately scrolling to learn who among our acquaintances was dead, maimed or captive, connecting American hostages’ families with State Department contacts, attending panic-stricken online briefings and pooling resources and supplies for victims — all while fighting obtuse official statements from our own towns, schools, companies and universities that refused to mention the words “Israel” or “Jews” in referring to the largest single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, lest some antisemite take offense at the existence of either.

We have tried to get our children off social media, shielding them from images of the violence. We’ve held mass fasts, recited psalms and sung ancient prayers for the rescue of captives. And as we gather by the thousands despite our many contradictory opinions and despite the extra security required for our gatherings even here, we have returned to the words of our ancestors that have carried us through thousands of years: Be strong and courageous. Choose life.

Many of us were physically carrying those words during the weekend of the attack, celebrating Simchat Torah, a joyous holiday when congregations dance with Torah scrolls, read the Torah’s final words and then scroll back to the beginning to start the book again.

As a child, I found this baffling. Why read the same story over and over, when we already know what happens? As an adult, I know that while the story doesn’t change, we do. What defines Jewish life is not history’s litany of horror but the Jewish people’s creative resilience in the face of it. In the wake of many catastrophes over millenniums, we have wrestled with God and one another, reinvented our traditions, revived our language, rebuilt our communities and found new meanings in our old stories of freedom and responsibility, each story animated by the improbable and unwavering belief that people can change.

Right now many of us feel trapped in this old, old story, doom-scrolling through images with terrible outcomes. But in our grief, I remind myself that each year as we finish the reading of the Torah, we immediately, at that very moment — and at the moment of this newest, oldest horror — scroll back to the story of creation and the invention of universal human dignity. We recall, once again, that every human is made in the divine image.

The story continues; we begin again.
