Hamas~Sub Humans

We have been in a semi-lockdown situation since last Friday. Our small community was shocked to hear sirens and told to go into our safe rooms (Bomb Shelters). Since then the country has been flooded with rockets almost every 15 minutes. I have an app on my phone called Red Alert, that shows every rocket and the location on the map. The people in the south are suffering the most as they are receiving the heaviest, constant bombardment.

For the people who are calling for Israel to hold back and not respond. This attack was a deliberate attack on civilians. Women, children, young people were slaughtered in the most unthinkable ways. There has never been anything like this, anywhere, since the Holocaust.

Think of 3,000 young people dancing at a Harvest Rave. They were slaughtered and burned with no thought. Those hiding in bomb shelters had grenades thrown in then they were shot up for good measure. Babies were shot, burned, debased and some taken prisoner. Many of the kidnapped were young girls. What they do to prisoners is not fit to be printed. One man who heard his daughter was found dead, said through tears, "Thank Gd, it is better than being captured by Hamas."

The death is over 1,200 and counting. Wounded over 3,000 and kidnapped unknown but in hundreds. What they will suffer is unthinkable. The tortured and mutilated bodies found so far have sickened all who are on the front line search and rescue. There has never been such things, ever. This is worse than Isis. AND, before you start about the poor people of Gaza, remember, it was these very people who came through the border like blood thirsty animals committing these atrocities.

Hamas Prisoner Nest to Wounded Israeli
Meanwhile, if Hamas are taken prisoner, they are given clean clothes, food and water. The wounded are in Our Hospitals, beside wounded Israelis. They are receiving the care of the top Doctors and nurses. Our people are so broken this is almost too much. But it is what we do.

The IDF has dropped thousands of flyers, contacted via phone and social media in Arabic, warning the people of Gaza to move south before the bombing. It is only a matter of three kilometres to where they would be safe and UNRWA could be helping them. But are they going? Hamas has ordered them to stay put and die for the cause. They need a high body count to demonize Israel. Yes, people of Gaza will die, but they will not be tortured, beheaded, raped or burned. They will die in collapsed Hamas infrastructure because the leaders have ordered them to stay. The leaders whose multi-million dollar mansions still have full swimming pools, and thewhose malls are full of food. The leaders hiding abroad in luxury in other arab countries, calling for their people to die. 

UNRWA is asking for donations. If you fall for that, know that donations never get to the people, rather, they go to support the cowardly billionaire leaders sitting in safety on their fat asses calling for more death. UNRWA is staffed by arabs, mostly Gazans, and mostly Hamas loyalists. They are not fit for purpose.

Egypt also borders Gaza, but they absolutely refuse to open the border. Why? They don't want trouble. Where is the demonizing of Egypt

So, don't bother sending platitudes and grief for Poor Gaza. They have a chance to move to safety, they have a chance for peace, but bloodlust is in their hearts and minds. We will finish this in a precise calculated way. Hamas cannot continue. They have stated firmly that they want every Jew dead. We answer back Never Again! In the words of Rabbi Meir Kahane...Better a Strong Israel Hated By The World, Than an Auschwitz Loved By It

I link below to an interview with a ZAKA volunteer. ZAKA in Israel attends every accident and disaster and cleans up the body parts and blood, etc. of the victims and buries it according to Jewish law. They have seen it all. Listen to what the man, with 30 years experience has to say. Even animals don't do such things.

"Vanata Tukaf" Prayer for Yom Kippur

Chief Cantor of the IDF~Lt. Col. Shai Abramson~"And Gave Validity"  

 The cantor's "Vanata Tukaf" prayer in the Great Synagogue in Allenby, with IDF soldiers from the various units, was produced especially for the "High Holidays".

It revolves around the Yom Kippur War and the war hero Brigadier General (Res.) Avigdor Kahalani who was a battalion commander in an armored brigade that fought in battles of the "Valley of Weeping" and was awarded the Medal of Heroism.

Wishing for Snow in Nof Zion Jerusalem...

We rarely have the joy of seeing snow that stays in Jerusalem. The last real snow was in 2015 and it was glorious~for most of us.

Those of you living in cooler climates would have a real laugh if you were here. 

Just the thought of a few flakes of snow and the country is ready to shut down. People rush to stores for supplies, shops announce closing (those that are even open) and the news coverage is almost as if we are in the middle of a disaster. 

My friend lives on the other side of the valley to the left of the picture above. She had an entirely different view...as well as a lot more wind! You can view her video HERE.

I was able to catch a few flakes on my phone before it stopped. If we get lucky overnight I may wake up to a white blanket covering our area.

First Snowflakes in Nof Zion, Jerusalem

Side Street Next to Shuk

 

Walking from Jaffa Road to Agrippas on the street next to the Mahane Yehuda open lane. There are many original shops but most are closing or being sold to be torn down. It is a pity as the character of the shuk is in the original shops.

Mahane Yehuda Market Jerusalem Israel

There are not many stores open in the market on Sundays. The vendors are mostly trying to sell the produce left over from Friday. New stock comes in Monday and Tuesday. People still shop but it is not as crowded. I like to walk the small side lanes as the tiny shops have many interesting things. Many of the vendors have had caricatures done by local artists. My camera was not in focus~sorry about that! I need more practice!

A Rainy Day In Jerusalem, Israel...

Note~Blogger Would Not Allow Jerusalem, Israel in Location...Why?

Even in the rain I enjoy the view from my balcony. From the left is Jabel Mukaber, then Har Habayit, Har Zeiteim, and moving along to the security wall. Around 1:25 I zoomed in to enable a better view of Har Habayit. The houses below are more of the village. The land scraped bare at the bottom of the video is the beginning of the new apartment complex being added to my community. It stretches all the way to the right which is blocked by the buildings below me on the next street.

Do People Make Aliyah With Unreasonable Expectations?

Aliyah is the greatest thing a Jew can do~But if they want to be successful they need to be prepared for a totally different lifestyle than in their originating country. Here is a short discussion and some observations as to why (many) new olim are unable to make it and end up going back to where they came from.

HaDror Street~Mevasseret Tsyion, Israel

A short walk along HaDror street in Mevasseret Tsyion, Israel. The new medical facility has been operating for some time and is in a very convenient place. The traffic circle with the olive tree in the center was put in before the medical building was complete. An interesting fact~in Israel when they have to take down an olive tree they carefully dig it out and re-plant it as in this case.
