ed note–Now, we are told on a regular basis that it is only a ‘few’ Jews who behave as have ‘bad Jews’ such as the Netanyahu, Smotrich and Ben Gvir types, and that most Jews, driven by their ‘authentic’ Judah-ism which they claim is compassionate, moral, principled and dedicated to the common good of all people–including Gentiles–are institutionally/constitutionally opposed to all the murder and mayhem that has been taking place since Oct. 7th and which will soon include what these ‘bad’ Jews are planning to do in Lebanon.
So, that being said, it is fair for the rest of us to ask the following questions–
Where are these ‘good Jews’ who oppose all of this bloodshed, and where is their ‘footprint’ in bringing all of this to an end?
After all, they are out front, large and in charge, in making sure that THIS–
–has their footprints/fingerprints all over it…
They are out there, large and in charge, in making sure that THIS–
Has their footprints/fingerprints all over it…
But yet, when it comes to THIS–
–what has happened and what IS to happen, they are, well, as silent as death, and for the simple reason that the left/right divide amongst them means very little when the deaths of Gentiles–either through war in the MIddle East or through the process of legalized infanticide otherwise known as abortion on demand taking place in the West–is the topic of the moment, because whether it is murdering Gentiles in the wombs of their mothers or those ‘late term’ abortions taking place in Gaza that have murdered hundreds of thousands since Oct. 7th, the ‘divide’ between the two sides is as stark as the difference between the number ‘6’ and the phrase ‘half a dozen’.

Likud MK Nissim Vaturi, a member of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, claimed early Monday morning that it is ‘a matter of days’ before full-on war erupts between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Vaturi, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling party, told the Kan public broadcaster that when this happens, Beirut’s suburbs ‘will look like Gaza.’
‘There is no other way,’ Vaturi declared, adding that Netanyahu was of the same opinion and that ‘this is something that will develop in the coming days.’
He said Netanyahu briefed military officials Sunday and told them, ‘We must end this saga.’
Vaturi said he thought the war in Lebanon should begin with a major preemptive strike similar to the one that largely foiled a planned major Hezbollah attack on central Israel in late August — only this one would last at least 4-5 days, followed by a ground invasion.
‘I think it’s time to deal with the north. We cannot keep standing on the sidelines and watching ourselves lose the north. We will make a decision. Hezbollah isn’t willing to move from the border, so we need to deal with this with a mighty war. Our patience has run out,’ he said.
Vaturi has faced heavy criticism in the past for multiple comments calling to ‘burn Gaza,’ and he contended in January there are no innocent Palestinian civilians left in the Strip.
Vaturi’s comments came as National Unity leader and former war cabinet minister Benny Gantz said on Sunday that Israel ought to have shifted its focus from Gaza to Lebanon and Iran by now, saying that ‘we are late on this.’
Speaking at the Middle East America Dialogue (MEAD) summit in Washington, DC, Gantz said Hamas was ‘old news’ and that the ‘real issue’ was now Iran and its proxies in the Middle East, especially Lebanon.
Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis since October 8, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war raging there since Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
So far, the skirmishes have resulted in 26 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 20 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.
Hezbollah has named 433 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. Another 78 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have also been killed.
Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have especially escalated in recent weeks after Israel assassinated Hezbollah’s military chief, Fuad Shukr, at the end of July.
The Lebanese terror organization vowed to retaliate and eventually fired a volley of hundreds of rockets at Israel, just after the IDF launched its preemptive operation in Lebanon where it struck hundreds of sites it said would have been used against Israel in an even more serious attack.
