A large group of religious Jews marched through the old city of Jerusalem tonight with armed escourts, most of them are armed themselves anyway.....it is a march to show no fear to the Arabs there who think they rule this place.

Shame the poor Arabs on social media are complaining about it, they have prevented the 10 Arabs who are there from walking home because of this march, they had to wait about 5 minutes for them to pass, oh what a tragedy, please call the UN human rights commission....
The US plans to reopen the Jerusalem consulate, this is a TERRIBLE idea!!

Washington has pledged to restore ties with "Palestine", back a two-state solution and reopen the consulate which was closed in 2019.

Israel’s FM Yair Lapid has warned the US against it:

“Jerusalem is the sovereign capital of Israel and Israel alone… We know that the [Biden] administration has a different way of looking at this, but since it is happening in Israel, we are sure they are listening to us very carefully. " He added the move could potentially damage Naftali Bennett’s new government.

While I do not support this government in Israel one bit and have zero respect for Lapid or Bennet, this is in fact true that it is a bad idea, not because it will damage the current government, that I care less about but because Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem for a reason and that made us stronger, now Biden wants to do what all naive leftists wants to do, make us weaker and do the self-defeating action rather than the smart action.

An Arab kid on an Israeli bus in Jerusalem was filmed, by his buddy, spitting on a Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) passenger....

This is a common occurrence and I believe this has been reported to the police already.
Over the recent few weeks, groups of Arabs on vacation went to spend it at the wonderful rivers we have in the north and some were waving the "Palestinian" flag while other were chanting anti-Semitic songs led by their guide in a boat...

I have also been informed that many camp sites have had large groups of Arabs who come there at night to deliberately cause trouble and the people camping there cannot do anything about it because if they confront them then they get into a fight with them, most carry knives and when you call the police the police are afraid to intervene so they dont stop them either.....this is coming from loads of comments on FB camping groups. It is just another way they can create terror and get away with it.... most campers are with their kids and do not want these groups to attack them or their kids, so they cant do much, even with a gun it wont help as there are too many of them and the law is against the gun owner even in self-defense cases.

This is the issue with leftists!!
Jews are currently in the period known as Slichot which started first for Sefaradi Jews such as myself and which has recently also started for Ashkenazi Jews.

As I am one who has great respect for all groups of Jews, whether Ashkenazi, Sefaradi, Yemenite, Ethiopian etc, I love to show the best of the best in each and so here are my favourite slichot videos which are all based on the Carlebach style of singing. These are so powerful to me, it uplifts my soul. The chazanim are Chezki Sofer and Rabbi Yehuda Green

The Sefaradi way of doing slichot is very different more upbeat but as I said I respect all and connect with all, a Jew is a Jew to me.

For those who dont know, slichot is a period where we ask for forgiveness, which is a few weeks and leads us up to our holiest day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, the day on which we fast for 25 hours as it is our day of atonement after Rosh Hashana which is our day of judgement. We perform these prayers after midnight every night & most start it at about 4am.
While I was on vacation I only posted some things so I missed some very important things that happened, this was definitely one of them!

In the same period of time when the Magav sniper, Barel, was shot in the head, another soldier, this one from the IDF named Ahmad Sawaed collapsed during training.

Ahmed is a Muslim Arab who volunteered to serve in the IDF in a combat unit and had this unfortunate situation happen to him.

The good news is that for the first time today since he collapsed and was hospitalized in a serious condition he opened his eyes and the doctors say that he should come out of this just fine.

So kol hakavod to this soldier for choosing to risk his life protecting the Jewish state and very happy he is going to be ok, refuah shleima!
Media is too big

Israel opened a Chinese-operated $1.7 billion port in Haifa, a benchmark project of China's Belt and Road initiative....

This better not negatively affect us!
This is an excellent comparison done by Likud UK

I will note that the Muslim Arab IDF soldier at the top of the pic is someone I have posted about before on this post: https://www.facebook.com/ugobey/posts/10165241516005441

When last I posted about her she was at the rank of Captain, since then she has been promoted to being the rank of Major and is now the most senior female Muslim officer in the IDF.

I wonder if she will rename her series of informational videos, about Israel and the IDF for Arab society, from "Captain Ella" to "Major Ella"

Kol HaKavod to Ella!!
For those who heard large explosions and felt their building shake last night around 1:30am in the center of Israel, it was due to an IDF attack in Syria which triggered the Syrian air defense system...IDF attacked Hezbollah targets there.

One of their anti-aircraft missiles missed our jets and entered into Israeli airspace and then exploded into the sea....the videos show the Syrian air defense firing a rocket.

The explosion was probably an interception of that rocket as a piece of shrapnel was recovered by sappers in a garden in Tel Aviv (pics in comments).
Israelis doing great things for IDF soldiers!

This is Tal Galila, he owns this shawarma restaurant in the Mahane Yehuda market in Jerusalem.

When he saw a whole team of 30 IDF combat soldiers from the Shaked battalion in the Givati brigade enter his store, he told them to stand in one line and prepared 30 free meals for them and whatever else they desired in the store.

Kol HaKavod to Tal!!

Thanks to Nati Rom for sending me these 2 great videos of 2 Jewish couples getting married in the Shomron (Samaria), the place where the Jews who defend the frontlines live, their mere presence there is a defense of Israel....these are the people who the world media refers to as the "evil settlers"....

In the videos they are singing my absolute favourite Carlebach version of Im Eshkacheich Yerushalayim.

In the 2nd video that is Harel Tal singing.
I have posted about him before here:

Mazal tov!!!
These Jewish kids are signing Harel Tal's "Titen Acharit Le'Amecha" which is a piyut associated with Yom Kippur, which is soon, and supposedly written in Rashi's Beit Midrash but the author is unknown. It is a song commonly sung by Ashkenazi Jews at weddings and funerals.

These kids are from a school in Har Bracha which is deep in the Shomron (Samaria) and these are the type of kids that international media and Jew haters around the world demonize and make them out to be cold blooded killers while ignoring the real cold blooded killers nearby who learn nothing but hate. Do these kids look like they are being raised to hate?

The 2nd video is the original of this song by Harel Tal.

I have posted about him before here:
