Blog Post from Israel
This is a post from a blog of a religious Jewish lady in Israel, Rivka Levy. I followed her on her old blog during COVID. She recently nuked it for some reason, possibly due to her antigovernment posts got her in trouble, I don’t know
The atrocities committed are beyond awful.
People were raped, shot and beheaded in their beds.
The one ray of light at this point is that more and more people are understanding that this CANNOT have happened just by the will of the terrorists on the Gaza side of the fence.
Think about this carefully.
And think about who was in a position to give the terrorists the kind of help they so obviously had to break the fence in multiple places, and rampage all over the South for 6+ hours before any semblance of any army showed up.
Know thy enemy.

I expect Israel to do two things. Defang Gaza permanently, either by pushing all the residents who survive their retaliation into surrounding Arab countries like Jordan, Egypt, or Lebanon, and leaving it mostly depopulated, or by doing this and annexing Gaza into Israel. To not do this would be irresponsible and suicidal. Second, they finally have a justification to obliterate Iran's nuclear capability. To not do this would also be irresponsible and suicidal.
On the other hand, three things make it hard to have as much sympathy for Israel as it I otherwise would. I figured the Israeli people were armed to the teeth, like the Swiss, where most civilian men are armed and now how to use their weapons. I mean, that's the ultimate no-brainer. I was shocked to read their gun laws are draconian and civilian gun ownership is abysmally low, I read 2%. Their population is defenseless unless police or IDF is on hand. They rely on their own people, but don't trust them with guns? Pretty hard to fathom.
Second, they forced experimental Pfizer jabs on their people. Their leadership is either stupid or has no regard for their people to do such a destructive thing to themselves.
Third, their expats and other Jews in the USA continue to vote overwhelmingly Democrat. I mean, WTF?? Again, where does this self-destructive bent come from? Sure there may be some historical reasons for their voting patterns. But unless they're hopelessly stupid, it's suicidal to continue voting this way.
Like so much, it's mind-boggling, hard to figure out the reasons for such self-destructive behavior from a people who in many ways seem very good at looking out for themselves.
