There is a need to open a crossing in the north of the Gaza Strip, there is no need to open the port of Ashdod, nor the pier in Gaza. Because there is no shortage of food. The dock is a crazy operation. The parachutes are unnecessary at all. They are expensive, the quantities in them are small and people have already died from them. But they photograph well, so continue them. The Americans drive Minister Ron Dermer crazy 24/7 with all these things, when they know there is no need for it. The UN inside Gaza is not able to distribute what comes in. So why do we need more?" asks an unofficial Israeli source familiar with the data. The American pressures are troubling the Israeli system to the limit. Soldiers are required to secure the huge supply convoys, the works for the construction of the pier on the Gaza coast, the laying of the new water pipeline to the Strip and the crossing that was opened in the north. Inspectors from the Ministry of Defense and the Crossings Authority spend days and nights inspecting content that goes to the enemy, when he himself does not need it. There is nothing more frustrating for them, and they say this to the operatives of Order 9, who with resourcefulness and originality stop the trucks from time to time. These are the practical and immediate prices that Israel pays. The long-term damage is much worse. Because if there was any fairness in the administration's approach - it would publicly confirm Aliyan's words and place some responsibility on the UN. But Biden, Blinken and their people point the arrows of criticism only at Israel. In fact, the administration tacitly, and sometimes with explicit words, approves the blood plot about "Hunger in Gaza", just as Jews were accused of baking matzah with the blood of Christian children. David Sutherfield, the American envoy for humanitarian affairs and former ambassador to several countries in the region, has known Israel for decades. Sometimes he and his people participate in the daily update meetings that entered Gaza. That is, Sutherfield knows very well that there is no shortage in Gaza. But this did not prevent him from telling the "American Jewish Council" (AJC) in a Zoom briefing last week that "there is an immediate risk of starvation for most of the 2.2 million people in Gaza." The figures are that in the three days before these, about 300 trucks entered the strip a day. Similar things are said by the State Department in the daily briefings. As mentioned, Sutherfield, Blinken and the others know very well that there was no danger of starvation, neither for a million people nor for one person The humanitarian in the Gaza Strip from day one, and would never, God forbid, allow such collective and cruel punishment. Still, the official and not accidental message is "danger of immediate starvation".
The government's approval of the "famine" lie is oil in the wheels of the anti-Israel propaganda machine, which has been spreading the "genocide in Gaza" lie for months. Here is one example of how the method works. "Why in your speech to Congress did you use the term 'unfolding genocide?'" host Stephen Colbert asked House of Representatives member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) on a popular show. His question was not innocent, but AOC did not miss an opportunity. "We were on the precipice of mass starvation, which would have killed indiscriminately almost a million adults, innocent people, men, women and children," she said with a tormented face to the camera. In other words, the "starvation" the government talks about is immediately translated into "genocide" by the professional Israel haters. AOC is still considered moderate. Those who are called "human rights organizations", such as Amnesty, specifically talk about "200 days of danger of genocide and starvation in Gaza". Masses of pro-Hamas protesters across the US don't need this twisted wording. They shout "genocide" at every opportunity, including in Biden's speeches. If he's tweeting about the facts, why wouldn't they? "The rhetoric of Sutherfield and others is appalling.

", says a source who has been active in Israel-US relations for years. "The only explanation for the gap between what they know and what they say must be political. There are elections, there is Michigan, so they say what the voters will like to hear. By the way, you can see that the actual policy does not change." Another source clarifies: "You see that it starts with the president. He doesn't mince words. In direct conversations with the Americans, you see that they are well versed in the data. We, inside the room, wonder where they get these statements from. They know what's going on. They have an interest Not to present what they know, and not to confirm what Israel says. They should have said 'there is no hunger in Gaza, and Israel is doing everything it can to get food in. The bottleneck is not its fault', but they choose not to say it to echo the Israeli message." Why does the government do this? The US State Department did not respond to Israel Hayom's request.
Upheaval in American Jewry
Not only for the Israelis the voices emanating from the democratic administration are very jarring, but also for the heads of the Jewish community in the USA. This should be known, the mainstream of American Jewry has been the meat of the Democratic Party for decades. These are not only voting rates of approximately 80% of the Jews for this party, but also strong financial support for the party's candidates and a great deal of involvement in its path and values. But this historic alliance has been cracking at an accelerated rate since the war. There were early signs of change in the Democrats' relationship to the Jews and Israel during the Obama era - but the outburst of hatred for Israel and the Jews in the Democratic camp is fundamentally undermining The attitude of the latter to the party. Last Saturday, the reformist rabbi Ami Hirsch, in an unprecedented warning speech, addressed the Democratic party leaders: "... Do not take the American Jews for granted. I spoke with many American Jews in recent months, who surprised me with their anxiety about the developments in the Democratic Party, and their perception that it is becoming more and more hostile to Israel, and more and more tolerant of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism within its ranks. Be careful! The results of the upcoming elections do not depend only on Michigan." Hirsch is not the only one to mark a clear line for the democratic leadership. The "Conference of Presidents of Jewish Organizations", which is a non-partisan umbrella organization that is wary of public disputes like fire, decided to take a stand, and not even a restrained one. In response to the call to replace Netanyahu by Senate Chairman Chuck Schumer - a Jew himself, and who can be defined as number three in the Democratic Party - the conference wrote as follows: "This is not the time for public criticisms, which are only intended to strengthen Israel's detractors and foster greater division, when unity So necessary... In fact, what is really needed is the leverage of the US to support the Jewish state in this time of need and to strengthen it." Prof. Alan Dershowitz also said in an interview with Ofer Hadad on News 12 that for the first time he is debating who to vote for in the presidential elections. Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt, who heads the coalition of Zionist rabbis and who leads the Conservative synagogue "Bnei Tzedek" in Potomac, Maryland, confirms in a conversation with "Israel Hayom" that a dramatic change is taking place. However, Trump is not an exciting alternative for the Jews either. "Since the days of President Roosevelt, in the middle of the last century, American Jewry has felt that the Democratic Party is its natural home. Now something is changing. Biden is in danger of losing Jewish support in many places, because of his attitude towards Israel. It is true that his practical policy is to support Israel by transferring Ammunition and so on, but the way he and his people speak is an opening for the Israel haters, they allow people to speak very harshly, and these words have meaning.

" Weinblatt, who has been at the heart of the Jewish community's activities for decades, rightly emphasizes that many in the Democratic Party support Israel. But in his estimation, this is the biggest crisis between the Jewish establishment and the party. "Many, many people are hesitant about who to vote for, and this is the greatest hesitation among the Jews that I ever remember. There is a problem that they are not enthusiastic about voting for Trump, because of his personal background and the fear of how he will behave with Israel in his second term, so many would like a third candidate, if that It was possible. But the needle will move, and in November we will know to what extent."

The attacking side in Iran tonight managed to achieve higher damage than the one caused in the Iranian attack, with one tenth of the armaments. Now Iran realizes that if indeed Israel carried out the attack, it can attack nuclear facilities next time with relative ease. In addition, the move paves the way for military action in Rafah!
