South African attorney and educator, Olga Meshoe Washington, explains to the South Africans who call Israel an Apartheid state that Israel cannot be one. She explains this with simple comparisons.

Her message is always "My people's suffering under Apartheid is being used to criminalize Israel"

I personally lived under Apartheid also, my father fought against it and now I live in Israel and so I know first hand that it is impossible to call Israel an Apartheid state. Anyone who does is simply not being intellectually honest.

Good news!

Earlier I posted that the IDF and Magav special forces are on an arrest operation in Jenin to capture a wanted terrorist. This is the terrorist who was successfully captured.

His name is Tzdaki Ahmed Ali Marai and he was part of the terrorist squad who killed Noam Raz z"l in May this year. Noam was a Yamam special unit fighter who was killed in action.

Here is the post about the arrest operation:

An update on Shimon Ma'atuf, who is one of the victims of the Elad terrorist attack back in May on Israeli Independence Day.

Shimon is the 75 year old security guard, shown in this video, who was seriously injured in the attack and has since been in a rehabilitation hospital. His situation has deteriorated drastically and needed to be resuscitated. His life is now once again in danger and so the family are asking for prayers in his name: Shimon ben Gamla

During the attack he didn't hesitate to approach the terrorist but unfortunately was over-powered and hacked with an axe, as were other victims, 3 of which died.

Refuah Shleima!

I reported about the attack here:

An update on terror victim, Eliyahu Dahan, a 23 year old Haredi man who was stabbed in the back by a terrorist on Shabbat in October.

Eliyahu is now paralyzed from the attack. The knife’s handle broke off from the force of the stabbing and the blade remained lodged in his body. The family are still asking for prayers in his name, Eliyahu ben Margalit.

This Haredi man is Shimon Levi, who I have posted about before. He was the first person on the scene to administer first aid to terror victim Eliyahu Dahan. I just made an updated post about Eliyahu here: https://t.me/DocumentingIsrael/11022

Shimon himself was a terrorist attack survivor from an attack that occurred 20 years ago when he was a baby. His parents hid him under a car to protect him but the car was set on fire. He was luckily rescued from this.

Famous Israeli singer, Yaakov Shwekey, met Shimon when he was a baby and this year they made an amazing song together called "Nothing bad comes from Heaven", one that I posted about here: https://t.me/DocumentingIsrael/5129

Interesting how a terror attack survivor gets to help another terror attack victim in his time of need. What are the odds?

Mazal tov to the latest IDF combat soldiers of Tzanchanim (Paratroopers) who completed their Masa Kumta (beret march) today and received their well earned red berets.

Here they are singing Hatikva at the end of the ceremony.

An Arab threw stones at a bus loaded with IDF soldiers in it near Beit El.

There were no injuries, minor damage was done to the bus.
