The supreme leader of Iran in a meeting with senior officials:

“The enemy is trying to instill fear among our people concerning the military capabilities of the USA, Britain and the Zionists. It’s psychological warfare. The enemies are not as strong as they are shown and we have to trust ourselves. The enemy’s goal is to push us back economically.”

That’s rich! No, I’d say psychological warfare is you and your proxies’ weapon. Not working on us. But I can see it’s working on you!! Why don’t you just say it, mullahs?: Ever since Haniyeh was blown up not far from us, we are pissing in our pants.

Another group that is hysterical with paranoia, is Hamas. Ever since Mohammed Deif was blown to smithereens, they too have been running around trying to figure out who fingered him to the Shabak. So they are picking up anyone and everyone in Gaza and torturing them to death to find the culprits. Lovely people, Hamas. I’m sure the Gazans are delighted with how their democratic vote worked out!

The “ceasefire” talks begin today. Of all those involved, the Americans are the most enthusiastic. The U.S. State Department, that bastion of geniuses: “The resumption of ceasefire talks tomorrow is an important step… We are working around the clock throughout the week to achieve a ceasefire agreement. An agreement is Gaza will help reduce tensions in the region.”

We’ve heard all this optimistic baloney before. Hamas isn’t even at the negotiating table. They want to be martyrs. Better yet, they want Biden, Starmer, Macron and the U.N. to tie Israel’s hands and hand Hamas victory on a silver platter. Dream on.

At the same time I’m reading this, I’m looking at videos coming out of Afghanistan where the Taliban are holding a triumphant military victory parade and exhibition at the former American Bagram airbase with all the captured U.S. armaments. So much for the geniuses of the Biden administration’s success in fighting terrorism. I don’t think they should be giving Israel any advice.

The IDF has still not announced the capture of the terrorists involved in the murder of the Yonaton Deutsch, the young, engaged soldier on the way to visit his fiancée after ten months in Gaza. But the IDF is not waiting around. Following a 12-hour operation in the Jordan Valley, where the terrorist attack took place, the IDF has eliminated several terrorists in Tubas, Tammun and the Faraa Camp. During the operation, Air Force planes carried out strikes, and ground forces eliminated a senior wanted terrorist and engaged in gunfire exchanges with additional terror groups. During the fighting an IDF vehicle struck an explosive device. Two soldiers were moderately injured, and two lightly injured. All were evacuated for medical treatment.

The Military Legal Division, which made such a botch of arresting soldiers guarding the vile Nukhba prisoners have been handed a stinking fish by the doctors who examined the whining terrorist. The doctors’ report doesn’t back up the complaint. The injury in his behind, it turns out, is not from sodomy, but from sticking a cellphone up his backside. These incompetent holier-than -thou army lawyers need to find new jobs.

The security forces of the Palestinian Authority (the “moderates” the US wants to hand Gaza over to) are holding a military funeral with full honors in Nablus for two terrorists the IDF eliminated from the air in the early morning in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus. One of them was an operative of the military wing of Hamas released from Israeli prison in the November hostage deal. That’s the second released terrorist from the November deal recently found involved in terrorist activities. The other one critically injured an Israeli civilian before being eliminated. Don’t let any more out! No more deals!

Hamas published a photo of an Israeli hostage who it says was recently executed by his captors. Turns out, it’s a photo of a hostage who was killed earlier in the war and whose body was already retrieved by the IDF in November. And Iran is complaining about psychological warfare! These people are the vilest human beings who ever breathed God’s good air.

Meanwhile, PA leader Mahmoud Abbas, who is now with his dear friend the little Hitler-wannabee Erdogan, addressed the Turkish Parliament: “I have decided to visit the Gaza Strip. I call on the UN Security council to secure my visit there. Immediately after I go to Jerusalem. Victory or martyrdom!”

What is he smoking?

I myself have not been too badly affected by the current waiting period for the Mullahs red flag of revenge attack. In fact, I’m going to a party tonight to celebrate the upcoming marriage of my grandson to his lovely bride. It’s called a “henna ceremony” and is traditional among Jews from Arab countries. I’ve prepared the traditional basket of towels and luxury soaps. The family will gather, rejoice, and by so doing, rob our enemies of the joy of keeping us downtrodden and terrified.

The wedding is in a few days. We hope that our enemies will leave us alone at least until after that.

It’s so unjust that the Jewish people have to live their lives under these kinds of threats. So despicable. But we cannot give in. Never.
