I am happy to report that Israel has had a really, really good day, God be blessed. Our wonderful IDF has managed to take out one of the worst terrorists in Hamas, second in command under Haniyeh, the man who orchestrated the October 7 massacre, directing the Hamas atrocities against our women and children: Saleh al-Arouri. He met a just end for his “work” when a bomb found him in a suburb of Beirut on Hadi al- Nasrallah street. Together with him, two other despicable murdering terrorists were killed.
Al-Arouri was also responsible for the 2014 Gush Etzion kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers, Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaer, and Naftali Fraenkel, may their memories be blessed, yeshiva students aged 16 and 19 who were hitchhiking in Alon Shvut when they were abducted and mercilessly murdered under al-Arouri’s direction.
Al-Arouri has had a price on his head from the Americans for years. It was five million dollars then, and has doubled since. Hope that they don’t forget to endorse that check to the IDF! We could sure use that money to buy some more bombs. Plenty of despicable Hamas terrorists left.
This makes me especially happy since al-Arouri was one of those who could be seen on October 7 in Haniyeh’s five-star hotel room, ass pointing skyward, thanking Allah while watching the news of the deaths of our women and children. Every ass-in-the-air in that room, I am hopeful, will soon be pointing in another direction, six feet under.
Al-Arouri’s sister appeared on television to say: “Allah honored us with the death of my brother. Every day he prayed to become a shahid.” Gee hon, glad to have partnered with Allah in making all your dreams come true! Hope we in Israel can continue to provide many more such opportunities for happiness among Hamas families.
I imagine I will soon be spending time in my own bomb shelter as Hezbollah might take offense and retaliate on our North. We Jews are not praying for death, but for life. Whatever, it was absolutely worth it!
In addition to the targeting of major Hamas terrorists, Israeli forces blew up a major tunnel network used for senior military maneuvers in Northern Gaza. Soldiers actually had to descend into that tunnel twenty meters down and had a shoot-out with terrorists. All the terrorists were killed. Videos were also released of our forces taking control of dozens of terrorists hideouts, including a school where massive amounts of weapons were found, including a grenade hidden in a box of Lego!
A group of reservists and government ministers have set up a protest tent outside the Prime Minister’s office to demand that Israel stand up to pressure from the Biden administration to end the large scale ground war. We will not be able to live in the Middle East unless Hamas is defeated, Gantz recently said. And Netanyahu has often said he will defy the world if they pressure Israel to stop fighting. This is an existential war. These people attacked us for no reason except their racial hatred and antisemitism. We have done nothing except provide them with land, water, electricity, and medical help since we left Gaza in 2005. They started this war, but we have no choice but to finish it. Imagine if someone told the Allies to end their ground invasion of Nazi Europe before the Nazis were defeated!! It’s absolutely outrageous.
You know, sometimes the comments on these posts are as interesting and revealing as the posts themselves. And for that I thank all of you. I want to thank one faithful reader, an American college student who recently wrote me that all the people he knows his age consider pro-Israel the same as pro-Nazi. He also said that when these people are the majority voters in America, they will stop all aid to Israel and help the Palestinians.
I asked him why he thinks this is so, and where they are getting their information. He said social media, mentioning Redditt. He also said demographically, Muslims are much more present on college campuses.
The Jerusalem Center for Public affairs has published a report on “Jihad on Campus Unmasked.” One of the startling revelations of this report is that the most egregious pro-Palestinian group SJP, or Students for Justice in Palestine, were prepared to disseminate propaganda materials in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 atrocities. “If any of the SJP chapters or the national centre had an advance warning of an impending attack and had agreed to facilitate the consequent information campaign, they could be considered accessories after the fact or co-conspirators in planning the attack.”
It’s time Hamas supporters on college campuses – including professors and administrators – to be put on notice that they are going to be rounded up and tried as traitors. The minds of college students, so impressionable, need to be protected from this poison that turns normal people into rabid, murdering dogs. Luckily for the head of Harvard , she has finally quit over the plagiarism allegations. Better than waiting for Homeland Security to knock on her door.
Here’s hoping Sinwar is next to be given the happiness of the al-Arouri family, and our hostages are rescued.
