I’m watching videos that Ukrainian and Israeli soldiers record to support each other, and it’s heart-breaking and beautiful.
You don’t need to speak the languages to understand the message.
Good people are instinctively drawn together.

It’s a political diagram of who supports Russia vs Ukraine and Israel vs Palestine.
If you look at the top row, with Ukrainian and Russian flags, you’ll see that most of the left and center-right support Ukraine. The bottom row shows the center-left and most of the right support Israel.

thank you for your support as my country goes through its most decisive, and dangerous, time since 1948. Ukraine and Israel MUST prevail.

The Hamas Defenses that the IDF must over come. Hamas embraces the strategy of Peoples’ War developed by Ho Chi Minh’s A-symetric war which defeated the United States military superiority in Vietnam. This military strategy promotes development of war opposition within the imperialist country, like Hanoi Jane Fonda or the Kent State shooting, which killed four students and wounded 9 others protesting against Vietnam.
The tactics of trench warfare defines WWI. Israeli complete air superiority forced Hamas to dig deep tunnels. Israel cannot sustain a huge blood bath, like the current Russian/Ukraine trench warfare has produced. This Gaza War in no way compares to the huge tank battles which defined the Sinai and Golan Fronts during the Yom Kippur October War of ’73. This war fought street by street compares to Stalingrad. The defeat of the Nazis at Stalingrad obliterated Germany’s ability to project Offensive Warfare thereafter. The winter offensive know as “the Battle of the Bulge” collapsed as fast as it started; Germany had already exhausted its military depth to conduct war.

Hamas wins another PR battle – yesterday it released 2 elderly female hostages, Yocheved Lifshitz aged 85 and Nurit Cooper 80. Today Lifshitz already told foreign press and Hamas what they desperately wanted to hear, while our government only complains after this disaster and pretends it did try to do something (but didn’t succeed). As you read Lifshitz’s statements below, lets remember that “both women’s husbands are still being held hostage by the terrorists in Gaza.”
Today, still in Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Lifshitz was permitted to give a public statement to a crowd of journalists. Foreign press gladly ignored ” ‘We walked kilometers underground, they beat me with sticks’ ” , yet stressed the following:
// [Sky News X] When asked what she meant by the gesture of shaking a Hamas gunman’s hand, freed hostage Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, says ‘because they treated us very nicely’.
// Sky News followed up on the statement and chose its words carefully as it posted on social network X: “Each person had a guard watching him or her. They took care of all the needs. They talked about all kinds of things, they were very friendly.”
…
sources at the Sourasky Medical Center reported that the hospital’s spokesperson informed officials of what Lifshitz was likely to say.
…
It’s unimaginable that, 18 days into a war, Israel still hasn’t learned Hamas’ tactics. Today, just hours after Hollywood celebrities issued a joint letter signed by 350 stars and VIPs calling for the immediate release of the Israeli captives, Hamas has shown Israel how public diplomacy should be conducted.
I call on officials in Israel to issue explicit directives regarding communication with Israeli captives following their release and to prevent the next public relations disaster immediately. This is an arena in which we can’t afford to lose.
From an opinion piece:
Why did Israel allow a public diplomacy disaster?
Opinion: Yocheved Lifshitz’s live statement following her release from Hamas captivity was a blunderous move for Israel’s public diplomacy, serving to humanize a terrorist organization

The barbaric slaughter of 1400 Israelis and over 250 hostages, this abomination carried out by NOT Hamas alone but by all Palestinian political organizations including the PA. The time has come to remove the Palestinian pricks poking the Israeli nation, by a forced population transfer of PA Arab populations from E. Jerusalem and Samaria to Gaza – the Israeli established Palestinian state from 2005 to present.
Only Israel has deeded land for the establishment of a Palestinian State. Land for Peace applies equally to Arab countries, not just to Israel. Israel has deed land, Gaza, for an Independent Palestinian State. Time that Arab countries stop their Palestine Occupied Territories political rhetoric propaganda and deed land in the Sinai to enlarge the borders of Gaza for the Arabs removed from E. Jerusalem and Samaria to live as free citizens in their own Palestinian country, a member of the community of nations in the Middle East.
