GAZA WAR DIARY: 10 OCTOBER 2024

Dear Miss Manners,

I am writing to you on a matter of urgent timeliness and importance to Israeli citizens. As you know, Israel is fighting a war against Islamic terrorist murderers on six fronts, but of late the retarded and evil leaders of the West, who should be her allies because they are next, are refusing to sell her weapons. However, in the recent IDF incursions into South Lebanon, Israel has found fantastically stocked weapons depots all along the border, which she has emptied and carted by the truckload back to refill her own supplies. Rockets, anti-tank shells, rifles, machine guns, bullets, and everything in -between! Worth untold millions! All courtesy of the Iranian mullahs!

My question is, would it be appropriate for me as an Israeli citizen to send an embossed thank you note directly to Ali Khamenei, who paid for and supplied these weapons we have now repurposed from their original application (the destruction of the people of the Galilee)?

Also, would it be polite to mention those untold thousands of Iranian-supplied weapons we have bombed to smithereens since they are no longer useful to the people of Lebanon and could, in fact, have accidentally blown many uninvolved Lebanese citizen to Kingdom Come? Or would that set the wrong tone?

Breathlessly awaiting your reply, An Israeli Citizen of the North

More wrong-headed decisions by that senile idiot in The White House (and its mentally-challenged VP, who is eager to give us four more years of the same) who today told reporters that while it supports Israel, it “cannot allow Lebanon to become a second Gaza.”

Where to begin?

Israel Today: “Washington ALREADY allowed Lebanon to become a second Gaza DECADES AGO by doing too little to prevent its takeover by a terrorist organization – Hezbollah. Just like Gaza. Now the Biden Admin wants to prevent Lebanon from experiencing the same devastation as Gaza has suffered, AS A RESULT OF BECOMING A HAVEN FOR TERRORISTS. Well, how about putting a little more pressure on Lebanon to NOT LET ITS TERRITORY BE USED FOR TERRORISM?! Why is it that everyone always suddenly wakes up to a problem only when Israel responds to it?”

Last night, the IDF spokesman announced the assassination of the Hezbollah commander of the Hula area, Ahmed Alhaj Ali, who was responsible for launching hundreds of rockets and anti-tank missiles at Kiryat Shmona.

Also, Muhammad Hamdan, the commander of Hezbollah’s anti-tank system in Mis Al-Jabal, was killed.

In addition, the IDF attacked weapons warehouses and military infrastructure in the Harat Harik neighborhood in Dahiya in Beirut, after an evacuation alert.

Just yesterday, two Israeli citizens- Dvir Shavit and Roital Yehud, were walking their dogs in Kiryat Shmona when they were killed by Hezbollah rockets. Roital’s family revealed that she had recovered from cancer two years prior and relocated to Kiryat Shmona to support her partner, who had begun working as a confectioner in the Galilee. Despite family concerns urging her to leave for Be’er Sheva, Roital and Dvir chose to remain in the city with their three dogs, all of whom were also killed by shrapnel from the missile attack. (Perhaps this fact might interest all those in the streets of Western cities supporting Hezbollah terrorists. The death of Israeli human beings certainly doesn’t.) They didn’t have time to reach a shelter. Forty rockets have been fired at Kiryat Shmona since this morning.

Abu Ali: The Lebanese are reporting nine IDF strikes a short while ago in the Hermel area, near the Syrian border in northeastern Lebanon. It appears that roads were also targeted to prevent the entry of weapons from Lebanon. There is a significant Iranian effort to push more and more weapons through Syria to the bleeding Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Perhaps we should add to our thank you note: “While we appreciate your generosity, please discontinue supply. Our warehouses are stuffed.” ?

I agree with the following editorial from Israel Today. What about you?

“In regard to hitting Iran and the war in Lebanon, the nation of Israel is at odds with the Biden Administration and other Western allies. A strong majority want to see Israel strike Iran’s nuclear and oil facilities, regardless of the risk of another major Iranian retaliation or even a regional war. They see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cripple the Iranian threat, including the Hezbollah stranglehold on Lebanon. From the perspective of many in the West, it might seem like madness for Israel to take such risks. From an Israeli perspective, it seems like madness to miss this opportunity.”

    Entertaining and informative. Witty and creative. Accurate and spot on- especially about US current administration. I am addicted to your diary. So look forward to reading it. I consider it my primary source and Fox News and i24 news secondary. I pray Israel does what she needs to do for her security and doesn’t succumb to outside pressure. Wishing you and your family a G’mar Tov.

    Love your tongue in cheek thanks to Mr Mullah in Iran. In U.S. we have not heard about outright refusal of weapons but not surprised at all. They’ve been withholding from Israel what Congress approved while sending endless supply of weapons and money to Ukraine with no accountability we know of. YES!!!! Israel should use all confiscated money and weapons needed. The height of hypocrisy to defend this braindead Administration while Israel fights to EXIST. You know what I think! And boo hoo 2 U.N spies on Lebanon S. Border were hurt. They are worthless liars in my opinion. And forewarned for how long? Praying for Peace of Jerusalem. Very sad walking your dogs is now fatal in Israel. I’m with you Naomi.

    Go ahead and insult our president and vice-president. They are looking after the interests of the United States first before Israeli interests. And if I am not mistaken our president has furnished Israel with billions in weaponry to help Israel in their fight against Hamas. As a Jew I want Israel to survive and fight against terrorism and those that want Israel’s demise. And fully endorse Biden’s effort to help Israel. But he also wants the hostages returned and a ceasefire/truce to calm the tempers of both Israel and Hamas/Hezbollah.

    Most Australians are for Israel, please ignore our politicians, they are an embarrassment to us all.

      Dear Naomi,
      I feel a need to correct you. If Kamala Harris is elected president of the USA in November, she likely will be re elected in 4 yrs. ( I could go into a long discourse about that, but I won’t at this time), and consequently she and the Democrats will be in power for a likely minimum of 8 more yrs.
      There is a narrow window of opportunity left before election day in November. I truly hope that Israel makes good use of it. Let’s hope that we’ll again be astounded..if you get my drift.

    • Ann

      Thank you John for your comment. I sincerely hope most Australians do. Sometimes it feels like we are in the minority when you listen to the media and then encounter people who seem to be oblivious to the facts or have time in their busy schedules to find out.

      • Phillip Erickson

        Ann,

        I don’t know what most Australians think but the leader of the Federal Opposition, Peter Dutton, is certainly full on for Israel like me, an Anglo/Skippy Australian.

        We have our loud anti-Israel (actually anti-Semitic) left but my gut reaction tells me they are not typical Australians. Those same lefties supported the Voice Referendum, which was resoundingly trounced in all states because it was racist. Australia is the most multi cultural nation in the world. I think the silent majority of its people empathize with Israelis who are subjected to adjacent Arab racism non-stop..

    You are very disrespectful of our president and vice president. Even if you disagree with them it is unamerican and unisrseli to do so

    • Gloria

      The facts are that Naomi is absolutely correct about our president and vice president. Truth be told , it is totally American to speak up, and according to the First Amendment we have every right to do so. Unfortunately too many Americans are so ignorant that they fall for whatever our corrupt media tells them.

    • Phillip Erickson
      • Thomas

        I applaud the truth bombs you have shared. Trying to inform who that terrible pair Biden – Harris is. Morally sick 🤒

    • KD

      Who is your president right now again?

      Who’s running your country?

  6. Gig Berkowitz

    Great diary today. A poignant, tongue in cheek slap at Ali Kockamaimy. Again, thanks for the weapons Ali.
    And, as I responded yesterday, I agree that it would be foolish to miss this opportunity to obliterate Iran. Strike while the iron is hot.
    Finally, as Yom Kippur is nearly here, may I hope that you and your family are sealed in the book of life for the foreseeable future.

  7. Ettie Kryksman

    I very much enjoyed this diary article. Brilliantly put, from beginning to end. Stay safe and well.

  8. Ellen Calderon

    So sorry you believe that we hate you and yes our government is standing in your way but we Jews here are always on your side

  9. Ronald Fadel MD

    Iran’s nuclear program is clearly an existential threat to the entire globe and only supported by the Soviets and Chi-comms….it’s irradication would be a really nice gift during this coming holiday season….Bibi is today’s Churchill….those of us who read history know he’s spot on…
