The ICJ’s obscene lumping together of indictments for war crimes against Hamas’ Sinwar and Deif with indictments against Netanyahu and Gallant, is beyond despicable. As our Prime Minister said in his outraged response: “The absurd and false order of the prosecutor in The Hague is not only directed against the Prime Minister of Israel and the Minister of Defense – it is directed against the entire State of Israel.

“Prosecutor in The Hague…with what chutzpah do you dare to make a comparison between the Hamas that murdered, burned, butchered, raped, and kidnapped our brothers and sisters, and the IDF soldiers who are fighting a just war that is unparalleled in its unmatched morality? As the Prime Minister of Israel, I reject with disgust the Hague prosecutor’s comparison between democratic Israel and the mass murderers of Hamas. This is a complete distortion of reality. This is exactly what the new anti-Semitism looks like, it has moved from the campuses in the West to the court in The Hague. For shame!!”

By the way, one of the panel of “advisors” that the Hague prosecutor turned to in formulating this disgraceful act, was Amal Clooney, who is Lebanese, the simpering Barbie-doll, clothes horse married to the moral posturing Hollywood actor, George Clooney. Both of them put on a good “human rights” show, but are as immoral as the TikTok idiots rampaging mindlessly across college campuses.

Another delusional proposal from Biden: “Israel ends the war in exchange for all the hostages.” Except, Israel has to withdraw completely before the hostages are released… right. “Israel will commit itself to the establishment of a Palestinian State” so that the terrorists can call themselves another name and import as many weapons as they want, huh?. No thank you. “Israel will help develop a regime for governing Gaza that is not Hamas.” Yeah, in your dreams. Once we withdraw, who’s going to get rid of Hamas? In exchange, “the US will extend a security envelope to protect Israel from Iran.” Like we forgot you promised the same thing in 2005 to push us into the disastrous Disengagement, and twenty years of rocket fire from Hamas terrorists, without a finger being lifted by the US!

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! Whoever came up with this load of crap is totally off their meds. It will never be accepted. But it’s upsetting they had the nerve to even propose it at all. What did they think, that the “great reward” of normalization with Saudi Arabia was a carrot tempting enough for us to bend our necks to the stick? I think the Saudis will gain as much or more from normalization than we will, so why should we agree to any of these ridiculous ideas, each one an existential threat to our existence?

In the meantime, on top of our fight in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel is involved in battles with armed terrorists in Jenin and Tulkarm. Incredible drone footage taken as it flew around the crowded alleyways of Jenin, followed by exact bombing by the IDF, left them all dead without endangering our soldiers. It’s wonderful, life-saving equipment.

The recovery of the bodies of our hostages was no small thing. During a night operation of the IDF and the Shin Bet in which the 202nd Battalion combat team, Yahalom fighters, Unit 504 under the command of Division 98 took part, the bodies of Shani Louk, Amit Buskila, Ron Binyamin and Yitzchak Gelernter were recovered. It was an unbelievably complex and difficult task. Even before it began, months long intelligence efforts managed by the General Security Service and the Prisoners and Missing Persons Headquarters in the Intelligence Division along with the other units in the IDF gathered and analyzed many separate fragments of intelligence to form the whole picture.

Once they knew where to go looking, the paratrooper brigade’s combat team in the heart of Jabalia, and the fighters of the 202nd battalion combat team fought intensive battles with the terrorists for three days. During that time, paratroopers and the Shin Bet searched a suspicious building where they discovered a tunnel shaft. Even as I’m writing this, I find it hard to imagine that the brave Yahalom fighters went down inside that shaft at night and through the tunnel, fighting terrorists all the way, removing barricades and neutralizing bombs and weapons with unique technologies. It was during the course of this heroic battle that the bodies of the abductees were discovered and rescued. The Prisoners and Missing Persons team in the Personnel Division, which is entrusted with escorting the families of the abductees, worked together with the Institute of Forensic Medicine and the Israel Police to identify the abductees bodies and deliver the messages to the families.

Please think about this, what it took to recover just a few dead bodies: hand to hand combat in pitch black, claustrophobic tunnels with terrorists and weapons all over the place. Think about the immense dangers, the bravery of our dear soldiers, the wickedness of the terrorists. Then just imagine how the living abductees are being held, and what superhuman effort will have to be expended to bring them out alive. So all those complaining it isn’t going fast enough need to shut up.

The UN holds a moment of silence for Ebrahim Raisi, President of Iran, who personally oversaw the torture and execution of tens of thousands. The UN and the ICJ are all representatives of an immoral world. Neither deserves any respect.

Sadly, I believe that the world is rapidly reaching a moral nadir that is similar to one reached in the past, when the Ruler of the Universe decided to wipe mankind off the face of His good earth. Having promised no more floods, one wonders what our Supreme Judge will do next? I have total faith it will happen, sooner rather than later.
