Moritz ist mal wieder zu Gast im Schanzer Zeitspiel. Zusammen mit Martin und Marco geht es zwischenzeitlich heiß her, denn bei der Frage, ob die Punkteausbeute der Schanzer die Leistungen adäquat widerspiegelt, herrscht Uneinigkeit. Aber neben der Profi-Mannschaft geht es auch um die erste Frauen-Mannschaft und eine großartige Aktion der Südtribüne e.V., die ermöglicht das Heimspiel der Schanzerinnen gegen den SC Sand im Sportpark auszutragen. Auch wir möchten selbstverständlich diese Aktion unterstützen: Kommt alle am 21.09. um 14Uhr in den Sportpark und unterstützt unsere Schanzerinnen! Als zusätzlichen Anreiz verlosen wir ein signiertes FC Ingolstadt Trikot, das es so nicht zu kaufen gibt. Dafür müsst ihr uns lediglich am Tag des Spiels ein Bild von euch aus dem Sportpark (Spiel eindeutig erkennbar) per Insta, Facebook, Bluesky oder per Mail schicken. Moritz wills wissen: Wie bewertet ihr die Punktausbeute aus den ersten vier Spielen? - Unglücklich (mehr verdient) - Richtig so - Glücklich (weniger verdient)
GAZA AND YEMEN: Jonathan Schanzer: Jonathan Schanzer reports on Israel's challenging but successful operation in Gaza City, which has neutralized key Hamas leaders and recovered hostages, significantly weakening the group, with only ten senior leaders remaining. He critically notes Qatar's role as a major patron of Hamas, not acting in good faith during hostage negotiations. Shanzer also highlights Israel's "remarkable operation" in Yemen, demonstrating enhanced intelligence capabilities against Houthi leadership, severely impacting the Iran-backed group. In Lebanon, efforts to disarm Palestinian camps and Hezbollah present a "generational opportunity" for the state to restore sovereignty. 1950 GAZA BEERSHEBA

FIDF Shiri Yanay, Senior Manager, Delegation Content and Speakers, is joined by Jonathan Schanzer, Exec. Dir., Found. for Defense of Democracies (FDD) to discuss what's been occurring over the last week, focusing primarily on Gaza but also touching on other key threats: Hezbollah in the north, Iran's regional influence, and U.S.-Israel relations. Schanzer addresses international claims that Israel is starving Gaza, calling such narratives misleading and emphasizing the complexity of the war zone. Schanzer explains that Hamas embeds itself in civilian infrastructure, making IDF operations slow and difficult, and that the absence of a clear post-war governance plan for Gaza is becoming a strategic liability. He warns that Hezbollah in the north poses a far greater threat than Hamas, with daily attacks forcing tens of thousands of Israelis to evacuate. Iran, he argues, is the central actor behind these threats, funding and arming its proxies across the region. Schanzer criticizes U.S. policy for not doing enough to constrain Iran's reach, though he affirms that military cooperation between the U.S. and Israel remains strong. He also stresses the importance of fighting misinformation in the media, which he believes Hamas exploits effectively. Finally, he urges continued support for the IDF and warns of the growing global antisemitism tied to the war's narrative battlefield.Donate NOW at FIDF.org for the fastest and most direct way to give IDF Soldiers what they need most. 100% of your contribution will go to meet their emergency humanitarian needs.
