Iran is claiming to be developing new and bigger missiles. Israel Today: “If as reported Iran is planning a bigger attack on Israel, it likely involves use of the Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missile. This missile, unveiled in 2023, is the fourth generation of the Khorramshahr missile, first unveiled in 2017. It carries the largest known warhead in Iran’s arsenal. In addition to its official name “Khorramshahr,” this missile is also known as the “Khaybar” after a famous Jewish fortress in the Arabian Peninsula that was conquered by Muslims with the advent of Islam.

They are truly stuck in the Dark Ages.

Aside from missiles, and spending billions on weapons and tunnels for demented barbarians on Israel’s borders, Iran exports oil and aluminum, as well as 362 million dollars worth of sheep and goats annually (probably used for Muslim sacrifices…). This is their contribution to the world.

Israel, on the other hand, which Iran would dearly love to wipe off the map, is busy making the world a better place, especially when it comes to advances in healthcare. Here are a few of the latest Israeli inventions that bless mankind, posted by No Camels a month ago. (Hat tip David Shachar).

Freezing out Cancer

IceCure Medical’s ProSense system does what the name of the company suggests – freezing tumors as a treatment for early-stage breast, lung, liver and kidney cancers. Doctors insert a small needle into the tumor, using liquid nitrogen to freeze it to temperatures as low as -170°C, without harming the healthy tissue that surrounds it. The cells die as they thaw, and are then absorbed by the body.

The system can be used in a doctor’s own surgery with no invasive treatment or general anesthetic, involving no hospitalization or tissue removal that can cause scarring. The ice ball also has an analgesic effect, providing additional numbing and pain relief to the treated area. Today, ProSense currently has regulatory approval in 15 countries, including Canada, the United States and China.

Wheelchair That Puts Users Back On Their Feet

Israeli inventor, engineer and entrepreneur Dr Amit Goffer broke his neck twenty years ago driving an ATV. After two decades in a wheelchair, he is standing on his own two feet again. He has developed – and is about to start selling – UpnRide, a unique mobility device which gives users the freedom to sit, stand and travel in an upright position. And unlike other similar solutions on the market, FDA-approved UpnRide’s sophisticated technology allows the user to travel upright at 4km per hour regardless of terrain, tackling almost all urban environments. 

Tiny Camera Is Canceling Colonoscopies

Perhaps the most famous of Israeli medtech developments, the PillCam is a non-invasive method of detecting disorders in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Developed by Given Imaging (today owned by American multinational Medtronic) the pill-sized camera is ingested by patients, which allows physicians to visualize the esophagus, colon and areas of the small intestine. This is vital for detecting diseases including Crohn’s, obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) and even esophageal cancer.

After a 10-hour fast, patients swallow the PillCam that then passes naturally through the digestive system over an eight-hour period. During that time PillCam transmits approximately 50,000 images, which can then be downloaded and reviewed by the physician.

Delivering An IVF Baby Boom 

Israel loves babies. It is the only developed nation on the planet with an above-average number of births per woman and is by far the world leader in IVF procedures. So it is hardly surprising that a major revolution in the efficacy of IVF treatments should be Israeli. Tel Aviv-based startup AVIF uses artificial intelligence to select the embryo with the best chance of being successfully implanted into a woman’s womb. Using massive amounts of biological data, the EMA platform was trained to understand developmental biology in order to detect milestones and parameters in a developing embryo. The founders created the platform based on the premise that AI would be better than the human eye at the “crucial point” of evaluating embryos in the lab and determining which of a woman’s fertilized eggs was most likely to be viable. 

Predicting Strokes With Sensors

Avertto’s groundbreaking wearable device alerts people to the dangers of an imminent stroke before it even happens. The first-ever device of its kind uses cutting-edge pulse wave analysis technology to monitor changes in the blood flow to the brain through the carotid artery, allowing immediate medical steps to be taken to mitigate the risk. 

Strokes are most commonly caused by a clot blocking the essential supply of blood to the brain, and according to the World Health Organization are the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability across the globe. 

Avertto’s device uses sensors placed over the carotid arteries, the two major blood vessels on either side of the neck that provide the blood supply to the brain.

A lower blood flow level indicates potential blockages in the carotid arteries. The device’s AI-based alert system detects these changes and within seconds notifies the wearer, first responders and healthcare providers. 

AI Platform Makes Snappy Work Of Diabetic Eye Test

AEYE Health’s proprietary software analyzes an image of the eye for diabetic retinopathy – damage to the blood vessels in the retina that can lead to blindness – without having to dilate the pupil in an uncomfortable and incapacitating procedure. 

The method can be used by a family doctor, at a pharmacy, or even in a patient’s own home, and yields immediate results, avoiding the discomfort and inconvenience that deters many people from having the crucial annual test. So remarkable is the development that AEYE Health CEO Zack Dvey-Aharon was recently named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in artificial intelligence for 2024. 

Mapping Endometriosis Without Surgery 

Femtech startup EndoCure has developed an AI-powered ultrasound platform for comprehensive mapping of the lesions, leading to quicker diagnosis and customized treatment options for the one in 10 women of reproductive age worldwide who suffer from endometriosis. 

And we’ve accomplished all this

And we’ve accomplished all this, with Iranian maniacs trying to murder our entire population. Tell me, in the Israel vs. Iran battle, which country would the world be better off without?

Today saw a real reduction in rockets entering Israeli airspace from both Lebanon and Gaza. It also saw reduced IDF activity in both arenas. But still the IDF managed to blow up 80 buildings in the village of Meiss al-Jabal in southern Lebanon. It was a spectacular explosion, with a single press of a button.

Some Arab reactions online:

“Do you think it makes sense that 80 tunnels were destroyed in the blink of an eye in southern Lebanon, the ‘resistant’ Lebanon? How long did it take to build them, and how did they (the Israelis) enter them so comfortably?”

“This is the price of alignment with and loyalty to Iran… The villages of the south are lost to the sound of Hassan Nasrallah’s speeches.”

Well, they are learning something.

With the announcement of the start of the school year, which Hezbollah supporters opposed, Hezbollah supporters are being kicked out of public school buildings where they are sheltering. The Maronite Patriarch al-Ra’i caused an uproar when he said: “The schools must be liberated.” The Maronite Patriarch al-Ra’i. My, my! The word “liberation” usually refers to freedom from an enemy…. Patriarch al-Ra’i also added that the Lebanese people strongly oppose a war between Hezbollah and Israel.

Are the Lebanese finding some guts?

As for the Biblical floods in Spain just after Spain aligned itself with the Palestinians, joining Ireland and Norway in recognizing a Palestinian State…. No connection, right?

My dear friends and readers, may God bless all of you and all of us in Israel with the defeat of Kamala Harris and the anti-Israel, woke, antisemitic Democratic Party which has turned American cities into sewers, flooded America with criminals, and wasted American resources from American taxpayers to care for those who entered the country illegally. This is who I am and where I stand. If you don’t agree, don’t want to read it, no once forces you to read my column. Go elsewhere.
