Thirty years after Yitzhak Rabin's assassination, Noam Weissman sits with Journalist Haviv Rettig Gur to unpack what changed on November 4, 1995—and what didn't. Was Oslo doomed, or did Rabin's murder briefly revive it? How did incitement shape the 1990s—and how is Rabin taught (or not) in Israeli schools today? We revisit Rabin the general and statesman, the rise of Netanyahu-era politics, and why Left/Right labels no longer map cleanly onto Israeli life.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The intrigue surrounding the leaked surveillance camera footage from the Sde Teiman detention facility is unabating as a search continues at Hatzuk Beach in Tel Aviv for the phone of the former military advocate general, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, whom police reportedly suspect of intentionally tossing it into the sea when she briefly disappeared Sunday evening. Horovitz updates us on the complicated case implicating the Military Advocate General’s Office and its many dramatic moments in the past few days. The Trump administration’s draft UN Security Council resolution to establish an international force in Gaza would reportedly give the US and other participating countries a broad two-year mandate to govern Gaza and be in charge of security there, according to an Axios report. We discuss the implications for such a step and whether it could be a way of bypassing the idea of a council of Palestinian technocrats ruling the strip. As media watchdog groups are denouncing a bill from the Communications Ministry that passed its first reading yesterday, saying that it is a step towards the end of free press and that the legislation would “give the government political control” over content and news broadcasts. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi claims it is a way to take the news out of the hands of the monopoly of billionaires who own the media. Horovitz discusses some of the details of the bill and why many are concerned. During an era of public fissure in Israel, prime minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated 30 years ago today. Horovitz weighs in on that terrible day and why he insists there is hope for bridging Israel's gaps and moving toward societal healing.

ESSENTIEL, le rendez-vous culture Sandrine Sebbane reçoit Michaël Darmon pour son livre « Les derniers jours d'Yitzhak Rabin » aux éditions Passés Composés. À propos du livre : « Les derniers jours d'Yitzhak Rabin » paru aux éditions Passés Composés Voilà 30 ans, le 5 novembre 1995, deux ans seulement après la poignée de mains historique entre Yitzhak Rabin et Yasser Arafat, président du comité exécutif de l'OLP, scellant les accords d'Oslo, le Premier ministre israélien était assassiné. Ce sont ces jours d'une importance capitale pour l'histoire du conflit israélo-palestinien que relate ici Michaël Darmon, sans bien sûr s'interdire de remonter dans le temps pour comprendre ce qui a pu se jouer en ce moment dramatique. Car il faut plonger dans la société israélienne, et notamment dans la pensée des extrémistes juifs, pour mieux cerner ce qui a pu mener à cet assassinat dont les conséquences se font encore sentir aujourd'hui. En se fondant tant sur les archives disponibles que sur de nombreux témoignages de première main - à commencer par les enfants d'Yitzhak Rabin ou le « patron » du renseignement israélien de l'époque -, Michaël Darmon offre un récit aussi riche que poignant de ce moment d'histoire du XXe siècle.

What It Takes Radio Company presents a special 10-minute program of clarity, curiosity, and a touch of charity. On the eve of Yom Kippur—the holiest day of the Jewish calendar—broadcaster Stan Hustad sat down with his longtime friend Steve Lear for a spirited and heartfelt conversation about faith, forgiveness, and what it means to live humbly in “the Days of Awe.” What began as an informal chat turned into a lively impromptu radio moment. Stan and Steve, one Christian and one Jew, took listeners into the heart of interfaith friendship. Their dialogue danced between humor, history, and hope, capturing the essence of what makes Yom Kippur both solemn and joyful. A Story Worth Retelling Steve recalled a moment shared years ago from Pastor John Hagee, who told of meeting Israeli leader Yitzhak Rabin. Before their conversation, Rabin proposed an agreement: “When the Messiah comes, we'll both go ask him—first time or been here before? Then we'll know. But until then, let's work together to repair the world.” That spirit of cooperation—seeking common ground while honoring differences—became the heartbeat of the program. Wrestling With Faith From there, the conversation explored the tension between knowing and not knowing. Christians often emphasize certainty, while Jews live comfortably with questions and mystery. Stan observed that true faith is not about certainty but about trust—moving forward even without all the answers. Steve added that this posture cultivates humility, forgiveness, and growth—the very themes at the core of Yom Kippur. Things to Remember and Share • Faith is not certainty. It is the courage to move without having all the answers. • Never trust a man without a limp. Hardship, like Jacob's limp, is the mark of those who have wrestled with life and faith. • Repairing the world is shared work. Whether Messiah has come or is yet to come, the call remains the same—make things right with God, with ourselves, and with others. • Forgiveness is a gift to enjoy. Yom Kippur is not only about confession but also about the comfort of being forgiven. A Call to Action In just ten minutes, Stan and Steve modeled what many of us long for—respectful conversation across traditions, honest reflection on life's mysteries, and a shared determination to make the world better. As you begin this new year, take time to forgive, to seek forgiveness, and to walk humbly—even with your own limp. And then, share this program with others who could use ten minutes of clarity and charity in their day.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with Daniel Levy, President of the U.S./Middle East Project (USMEP). They discuss Levy's argument that the way that Israel withdrew Israeli settlements from Gaza in 2005 set the stage for today's genocide; as Levy put it in a recent +972 Magazine piece, the current Israeli paradigm is "not just separating from the Palestinians, relegated to shrinking Bantustans, but annihilating and erasing them." Moor and Levy also discuss the impact of Israel's attacks in Qatar this week both in the near and longterm, the need for Netanyahu to formally deny Israeli involvement in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and shifting political approaches to Israel/Palestine.  Daniel Levy is the President of the U.S./Middle East Project (USMEP), which emphasizes the Palestine-Israel issue alongside regional conflicts, trends and geopolitics. From 2012 to 2016, Levy was Director for the Middle East and North Africa at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Prior to that he was a senior Fellow and Director of the New America Foundation's Middle East Taskforce in Washington D.C. and a Senior Fellow at The Century Foundation in New York. Levy was a Senior Advisor in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office and to Justice Minister Yossi Beilin during the Government of Ehud Barak (1999-2001). He was a member of the official Israeli delegation to the Israel/Palestine peace talks at Taba under Barak and at Oslo B under Yitzhak Rabin (1994-95). Levy is a founder and Advisory Board member of Diaspora Alliance (combatting antisemitism and its conflation), a Council Member of the ECFR, and serves on the board of the European Middle East Project. He is a former Trustee of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in New York and of the New Israel Fund, a co-founder of J Street, and a founding Editor of the Middle East Channel at foreignpolicy.com.  Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere.

Send us a textI went on line and looked up the Oslo Accords signed by President Bill Clinton, PLO Leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin. It was an important moment that has faded now in its importance as the Israeli conflict with Hamas has taken centerstage. I thought it interesting to read what Artificial Intelligence wrote about the accords, that this episode will also allow you to relive as they happened. "The Oslo Accords were a pair of agreements signed in 1993 and 1995 between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that aimed to establish a framework for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The first accord, signed in 1993, involved mutual recognition and established the Palestinian Authority (PA) to govern parts of the West Bank and Gaza. The second, signed in 1995, further defined the interim period and outlined areas of Palestinian self-rule. Ultimately, the accords aimed for a final peace agreement, including the establishment of a Palestinian state, but this goal has not yet been achieved. Key aspects of the Oslo Accords:Mutual Recognition:The Oslo I Accord marked the first time Israel and the PLO formally recognized each other. Palestinian Authority (PA):The agreements led to the establishment of the PA, which was intended to be an interim self-governing body for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Interim Period and Final Status Talks:The accords outlined an interim period, during which the PA would assume some governing responsibilities, with the expectation that final status negotiations would address issues such as borders, refugees, Jerusalem, and settlements. Israeli Withdrawal:The accords included provisions for Israeli troop redeployment from parts of the West Bank and Gaza. Two-State Solution:While not explicitly stated in the initial agreement, the accords were intended to pave the way for a two-state solution, with an independent Palestinian state existing alongside Israel.

Robert David Steele (July 16, 1952 – August 29, 2021) was an American case officer for the Central Intelligence Agency,[ co-founder of the United States Marine Corps Intelligence Activityand conspiracy theorist.Conspiracy theoriesSteele was a regular guest on Alex Jones's radio show. In an interview by Jones in June 2017, Steele claimed NASA holds a colony on Mars populated by human slaves who were kidnapped as children and sent to the planet.NASA spokesperson, feeling the need to respond about numerous false rumors, said "There are no humans on Mars" and that “there's only one stupid rumor on the Internet? Now that's news."On his Public Intelligence Blog, Steele cited The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a fabricated antisemitic document, at least 42 times to expound on the "Zionist conspiracy". He stated in a September 2019 blog entry that Jews in financial sectors were "a secret society" that "believes [itself] to be exempt from all laws and customs", leading to accusations of antisemitism, and called for the incarceration of Jews who were insufficiently loyal to the republic.He described the Holocaust as being a "contrived myth" and Zionism as “a cancer on humanity” urging the eradication of "every Zionist who refuses to be loyal to their country of citizenship and the rule of law.”In September 2020, he implied "two Zionists", one of whom was Yitzhak Rabin, were in Dallas and somehow involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Additionally, he claimed Rabin and Dick Cheney agreed on a proposal for the September 11 attacks: "The Zionists installed the controlled demolitions that assisted what I believe was clearly a directed energy controlled frequency event in the twin towers, controlled demolitions alone for WTC seven, and a massive coverup was executed….9/11 [legal] cases did not go to trial; controlled Zionist judges and prosecutors ensured that all cases were generously settled".Steele was the organizer of the Arise USA tour, a three-month tour of all 50 American states.[1] The Daily Beast reported the tour began in May 2021. Steele promoted Donald Trump's claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election and told his audiences of "the treason and high crimes represented by the fake pandemic, unconstitutional lockdown, mask idiocy, and the deaths and sterilization and mutations associated with the untested toxic 'vaccines'".[14] The tour featured speakers such as Oath Keeper Richard Mack and conspiracy theory promoter Sacha Stone. In July 2021, he held a demonstration in Belfast, Maine to claim that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and called COVID-19 a hoax.[15][16] He claimed to be the first person to call COVID-19 a hoax.[5] The tour concluded in August 2021, following allegations that $300,000 had been stolen from the tour's budget.[17] He also promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory.[1]Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

History is something big that happens in the past that you look back on and wonder about… ofttimes we only know about it from the pages of a book, old video footage, relics in a museum, or something like that, but there are also living resources for history in the memories of older people and indeed in your OWN head. This Quackcast was inspired by me thinking about musicians like Prince, Queen, and David Bowie- many younger people now are looking back on them as if they were musical geniuses, like Beethoven and Mozart, but I can clearly recall when they were just pop-musicians, you were interested to hear their latest stuff on the radio of their latest video but it wasn't ground shaking. They were not considered super dooper massive cultural icons then, in fact they had less regard and hero worship than most modern young celebs do now! Your average popular “influencer” probably gets more regard now than David Bowie did back in the 70s and 80s. As Generation Xers Banes, Tantz, and I were part of a world in the later days old the cold war, when it was at its peak, before the end. This flavoured all of culture in all sorts of direct and indirect ways and if you don't understand that then you can't properly understand those cultural products that came out of that time. All the massive prosperity of the west and ultra-capitalism from the 1950s onwards with the USA solidly driving all western culture was because after WW2 the world was split in 2 and everyone had to unite around the USA because they were the strongest power militarily and economically in opposition to the “communist block”, NATO vs the Warsaw Pact. It's the reason American media from Hollywood stayed as so huge, the reason American influence in music was so primary, and the same with style, design, and technology. But there are plenty of direct influences too, a character like James Bond makes no sense outside of that split world, in fact nor does any spy fiction that came from then. The Klingons in Star Trek were Russians. The action genre in movies solidly had to do with the cold war- Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger's career's were formed around Cold War influences… What big aspects of history where you “there” for? The fall of the Berlin Wall, Perestroika, 9/11, The assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the start of myspace, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the beginnings of social media and influencer culture, the rise of reality TV, the fall of bookshops…?

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: In the remote desert of Rainbow Valley, Arizona, Stardust Ranch hides secrets that defy belief — glowing lights in the sky, strange beings lurking in the shadows, and unexplained phenomena that push the boundaries of reality. Are John and Joyce Edmonds the unwitting guardians of a portal to another dimension? Is their story a descent into madness? Or are we all fascinated by what is just an elaborate hoax? (Interdimensional Intruders: The Mystery of Stardust Ranch) *** In the abandoned halls of Gartloch Hospital, a century-old psychiatric facility on the outskirts of Glasgow, two nurses recount chilling encounters with spectral figures from the past. From mysterious footsteps echoing in empty corridors to a ghostly matron disappearing through locked doors, their stories paint a picture of a hospital where the line between the living and the dead blurs. Do the spirits of Gartloch's past still roam its wards? (The Ghosts of Garloch) *** In 1954, a wave of panic swept through Washington state as thousands of motorists reported mysterious damage to their car windshields. What began as a local curiosity in Bellingham soon exploded into a statewide phenomenon, sparking wild theories ranging from cosmic rays to hatching sand fleas. But was this truly an epidemic of vandalism and unexplained phenomena, or a textbook case of mass delusion fueled by Cold War anxieties? (The Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic) *** In the depths of Switzerland's Lake Brienz, a drowned man's body was found astonishingly intact — despite having been dead for over 300 years. Preserved by the rare and eerie process of saponification, his remains were encased in a waxy substance formed from body fat under the right conditions. This eerie phenomenon transforms bodies into waxy time capsules, defying the natural process of decay. We'll look at the creepy but somehow natural reality of corpse wax. (Corpse Wax) *** For centuries, scholars and enthusiasts have speculated about hidden messages encoded within ancient texts, with recent claims suggesting that the Bible itself conceals secret prophecies waiting to be uncovered. From predicting historical events like World War II and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin to foretelling the Oklahoma City bombing, proponents of the "Bible Code" believe these codes reveal divine insights. Are these hidden messages genuine revelations, or merely the result of overactive imaginations and random patterns?

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Al vele jaren is onderhuids en af en toe opflakkerend sprake van deze oorlog. Israël zette zijn uiterst doeltreffende hightech en geheime diensten in, Iran gebruikte terreurorganisaties en andere verlengde armen om Israël continu te bedreigen. Met cyberaanvallen op ondergrondse nucleaire installaties en aanslagen op kerngeleerden en militaire commandanten maakte Israël duidelijk dat in Iran niemand zich veilig kon voelen voor zijn macht.De aanval van Hamas op 7 oktober 2023 was onderdeel van deze oorlog waarin het regime in Teheran Israël op een reeks fronten tegelijk wilde destabiliseren. Omdat Benjamin Netanyahu besefte dat hij niet meer kon rekenen op de volledige steun van de Verenigde Staten - zeker niet nadat Donald Trump het kernwapen-akkoord met Teheran eenzijdig ongedaan maakte – ging hij uiteindelijk zijn eigen gang.Zo werden de handlangers van ayatollah Ali Khamenei het eerste doelwit. Hezbollah, Houthi's in Yemen, milities in Irak en Hamas in Gaza zijn met grof geweld aangepakt. Het regime in Teheran werd bovendien verder geïsoleerd en ingesnoerd door samenwerking van Trump met Arabische heersers, die hem aan zich bonden door zijn zucht naar 'deals'.De cruciale wijziging in de machtsverhoudingen kwam met de instorting van de belangrijkste bondgenoot van Iran en Rusland, het gruwelijke bewind van Bashar al-Assad in Syrië. Voor zowel het Kremlin als de ayatollahs was dit een funeste nederlaag. Teheran stond geheel alleen. Bovendien blijkt nu dat de Russische militaire technologie tegenover die van Israël onmachtig is. Duidelijk is dat vele lessen uit Oekraïne hier worden toegepast.Netanyahu wil Iran militair voor decennia verzwakken en de nucleaire capaciteit maximaal reduceren. Voor dat laatste zou Amerika weleens nodig moeten zijn. Maar voor Trump is regimewisseling geen doel op zich. De VS hebben in Irak hun lesje geleerd.Onder de buurstaten ziet vooral Turkije zijn positie nog machtiger worden en verliest Rusland na Syrië nóg een cruciale bondgenoot.Veel pleit er dan ook voor om beter te leren begrijpen hoe landen als Iran en Syrië zich historisch, cultureel en politiek van binnenuit hebben ontwikkeld. Zeker zo complex is trouwens ook Israël. Al in de memoires van Obama en Merkel was duidelijk: zij beseften dat het een misverstand was om Netanyahu en de Israëlische politieke cultuur als ‘westers' te beschouwen.Het land van Netanyahu is al lang niet meer de bijna Westeuropese sociaaldemocratie van Golda Meïr, Yitzhak Rabin en Shimon Peres. De demografische en cultureel-etnische diversiteit zijn enorm, eigenlijk zoals overal elders in het Midden-Oosten. Regeringen zijn permanent wisselende samenraapsels van kleine groeperingen en sekten rond een sterke man als vast ankerpunt. Ook voor de gunsten uit de overheidskassen. Netanyahu regeert in allianties waarin loyaliteit en wederzijds verraad elkaar ongeremd afwisselen. Israël lijkt nu veel meer op zijn buren dan op een EU-lidstaat.Misschien vertelt dit ook wel waarom Geert Wilders dit zo bewondert. Netanyahu is immers een sterke, bijna autocratische 'baas' met om zich heen nooit écht loyale vazallen die voor hun positie, status en levensonderhoud van hem afhankelijk zijn. Dat deze ook nog de alles beheersende centrale machtsfiguur van de natie is, maakt hem nog meer een voorbeeld.***Verder luisteren377 - Golda Meïr, Israël, triomf en tragiek315 - Vrouw, leven, vrijheid: oorzaken en achtergronden van het straatprotest in Iran.

Israel comete crimes de guerra em Gaza e a mudança de discurso do premiê Benjamin Netanyahu, nos últimos dias, deixa claro que o objetivo de seu governo é a limpeza étnica da região.Vocês não têm ideia de como me dói dizer isso. Desde que me entendo por gente, sou sionista. Ao longo da vida, mudei de opinião a respeito de muitas questões. Este é um dos raros casos em que me mantive constante. Ser sionista é ser favorável a um Estado, no Levante Meridional, para o povo judeu. Um Estado na sua terra. Mas o meu é o sionismo de Theodor Herzl, o sionismo de David Ben Gurion. O meu é o sionismo de Yitzhak Rabin, que compreendeu, como todo israelense inteligente, que as mesmas razões que sustentam o direito de judeus terem seu país sustenta, igualmente, o direito de palestinos terem o seu.O governo Netanyahu é a negação de todos esses valores.Neste momento, estão nas ilhas de edição do Meio três episódios especiais da série Ponto de Partida que vão para nosso streaming e tratarão de Israel e da Palestina. Não pretendia voltar a este assunto antes do lançamento porque, afinal, em dez, doze minutos de um vídeo aqui, não cabe tudo o que gravamos num total de uma hora e meia. Só que os acontecimentos não esperam.O governo Netanyahu está propositalmente deixando sem comida e sem remédios milhões de pessoas na Faixa de Gaza. Não existe qualquer razão estratégica, do ponto de vista militar ou político, para justificar algo assim. É um nível absurdo de crueldade, de desumanidade.No Knesset, o parlamento de Israel, na semana passada, Netanyahu afirmou que por conta de sua política de “destruir mais e mais moradias”, as palavras são do premiê, “o resultado inevitável será o desejo pelos moradores de Gaza de deixarem a região”. Neste mesmo discurso, ele afirmou que só permitirá que ajuda humanitária chegue a quem não voltar para casa.Se o desejo de Benjamin Netanyahu é tornar a vida em Gaza tão insuportável que a população deseje deixar suas casas para nunca mais voltar, o nome disso é limpeza étnica. É a definição de dicionário. É limpar, de uma região, um povo. A política de tornar um lugar impossível para a vida de quem vive lá. O primeiro-ministro de Israel está declarando isso. Ministros de seu gabinete já diziam desde o ano passado, mas Netanyahu, não. Agora ele começou a dizer. É política de Estado.Que ninguém se engane. Esta política não só é bárbara e anti-Palestina. Ela é, igualmente, anti-Israel. Esta política não vai eliminar o Hamas. Ela vai alimentar o ódio palestino a um ponto como jamais houve na história. Ela vai acirrar o conflito. A longo prazo, ela ameaça a existência do Estado de Israel. E, não, ela não vai expulsar os palestinos. Primeiro porque o povo palestino já demonstrou, ao longo das décadas, uma resiliência sem igual. Eles querem sua terra e vão ficar. Mas, em segundo lugar, é preciso considerar os vizinhos imediatos. O Egito já deixou claro que não quer os palestinos no seu país. A Jordânia, idem. O Líbano, a Síria, mesma coisa. Não há outro lugar para o povo palestino que não a sua terra. Gaza e Cisjordânia.Além disso, o que a política de Netanyahu faz é estender o sofrimento dos 58 reféns que ainda vivem no cativeiro, em Gaza. Estão sendo torturados, passam fome e estão nas mãos de pessoas que os odeiam. Nunca na história, desde 1948, houve um único governo israelense que não pusesse como absoluta prioridade a segurança de cada judeu no mundo. Nunca. Israel nasceu para que o resultado de dois mil anos de racismo, perseguição e violência que os judeus sofreram na Europa nunca mais ocorresse.Nunca mais.Esta política mudou com Netanyahu. A guerra em Gaza não representa qualquer estratégia de interesse do Estado de Israel. Ela representa os interesses da extrema-direita israelense e os interesses pessoais do primeiro-ministro. Netanyahu é um político corrupto que compreende que, no momento em que deixar o governo, será imediatamente processado e corre o risco de passar seus últimos dias na cadeia. Manter-se em guerra garante o apoio da extrema-direita e, com o apoio da extrema-direita, seu governo não termina antes da próxima eleição. Enquanto ele controlar metade mais um do Knesset, o governo fica de pé. Ou seja, eleição só em 27 de outubro do ano que vem.É um pesadelo para os palestinos. É um pesadelo para as famílias dos reféns. É um pesadelo para os democratas israelenses.A gente não tem como prever o futuro, mas temos como compreender o que aconteceu para chegarmos até aqui. Este não é um vídeo que vai agradar a turma do “Palestina livre do rio ao mar”. Não é um vídeo que agradará quem acha que Israel está sempre certa. É um vídeo para quem deseja compreender e quem anseia, urgentemente, pela paz. Uma paz cada vez mais distante.Eu sou Pedro Doria, editor do Meio.Netanyahu não é um premiê popular. Ele sabe disso. Sabe que perderia a eleição pesado. Ele tem o apoio de apenas 32% dos israelenses. Mais do que isso. 55% acreditam que seu único interesse é se manter no poder. Uma pesquisa realizada este mês pelo Maariv afirma que a oposição, se as eleições fossem hoje, conquistaria 62 cadeiras do Knesset e, o bloco de Netanyahu, 48.Existem duas extrema-direitas diferentes em Israel. E é importante entender isso. São dois grupos que, embora igualmente extremistas, não se bicam. Não se falam. De um lado estão os nacionalistas sionistas e, do outro, os ultra-ortodoxos.Uma das principais marcas dos nacionalistas sionistas, tipo a camisa da Seleção brasileira deles, o boné MAGA, é uma kipá de tricô. Eles são quem mais faz pressão para que Israel anexe os territórios palestinos, a Cisjordânia e Gaza. É a turma que ergue assentamentos, condomínios inteiros, em território que não pertence ao Estado de Israel. Defendem uma Grande Israel, andam pesadamente armados, em geral quando há instantes de violência contra palestinos, são eles. Foi um cara desse grupo que assassinou Yitzhak Rabin no momento em que ele tentava negociar a paz com Yasser Arafat. Os nacionalistas sionistas são sempre os primeiros a se alistar no Exército e se oferecem para estar na linha de frente. São, por isso mesmo, os que mais morrem na guerra.Os ultraortodoxos são o contrário. Não se alistam, têm licença especial para escaparem do serviço militar que é obrigatório para todos os outros cidadãos israelenses. Também não trabalham. Estudam a Torá o dia todo e são financiados pelo Estado. Seu principal objetivo é manterem-se isentos do serviço militar e de qualquer trabalho, é manter os recursos do Estado vindo pra eles enquanto estudam a palavra de Deus.A tensão entre os dois grupos é grande e é real justamente por isso. Só que em nenhum outro governo na história de Israel qualquer um dos dois já teve o espaço de poder que eles têm hoje. Porque, a sua maneira, são extremistas de formas distintas. Então um atura o outro e os dois grupos, embora minoritários, têm votos o suficiente para manter Netanyahu no poder. A coalizão de governo se mantem no poder por 4 votos. Apenas quatro cadeiras. Se quatro deputados deixam o governo, ele desmorona. Só que não acontece. Não acontece enquanto Netanyahu garantir as benesses dos religiosos e acenar com limpeza étnica palestina para os nacionalistas.Mas como foi que Netanyahu chegou lá? Tem uma verdade inconveniente nisso tudo. Israel apresentou duas vezes um plano concreto para a criação do Estado da Palestina. A primeira com o gabinete de centro-esquerda de Ehud Barak, no ano 2000. A segunda pelo gabinete de centro-direita de Ehud Olmert, em 2008. Não é que os palestinos tenham recusado. Nem Arafat, em 2000, nem Mahmoud Abbas, em 2008, apresentaram uma contra-proposta. Na verdade, após a primeira apresentação de proposta, explodiu a Segunda Intifada, que matou muita gente em Israel. É como se, no momento em que finalmente Israel conseguiu se convencer, tanto na esquerda quanto na direita, de que era preciso haver um Estado palestino, o governo da Palestina tivesse congelado. Vejam, teve uma vez, sem resposta. Veio uma onda brutal de ataques terroristas. Aí apresentaram uma segunda proposta. Silêncio no rádio. Os palestinos nunca disseram, sequer, não. Nunca explicaram exatamente o que não gostavam na Foi neste cenário que Benjamin Netanyahu se elegeu. Ele era o único político dizendo “os palestinos não querem paz”. Subentendido nesta ideia está a percepção que muitos israelenses ainda têm de que, para os palestinos, a única solução é o fim de Israel. Pois, em 2009, a população de Israel ouviu Bibi. E o elegeu. Mais de uma década e meia depois, ele segue no governo e tudo piorou muito. Netanyahu tornou a paz ainda mais difícil de ser conquistada. Então como se constrói a paz?O Sete de Outubro é um trauma que não vai embora tão cedo. A destruição de Gaza, muito menos. Mas eu queria sublinhar um último ponto. Hoje, 50% da população de Israel é formada por judeus cujos avós moravam no Norte da África e no Oriente Médio. 30% por judeus cujos avós vieram da Europa. 20% de árabes palestinos com cidadania israelense. Geneticamente, os judeus asquenazitas, os europeus, são mais próximos dos judeus mizrahim e sefarditas do que de qualquer povo europeu. Eles são a mesma gente. E não há povo mais próximo de qualquer judeu do que os palestinos.Isso tem explicação. São os dois povos cananeus. Os dois povos são de lá. Os dois povos descendem diretamente dos homens e mulheres que primeiro aprenderam a plantar na história. Isso. Dez mil anos atrás, na Revolução Agrícola. Nenhum povo pertence mais a uma mesma terra do que judeus e palestinos pertencem a Canaã. Não importa sua crença ideológica, sua crença religiosa, nada muda o fato de que são duas culturas ancoradas há milênios naquela terra. Todas suas rezas, seus monumentos, seus textos. Cada artefato arqueológico encontrado com mil, dois mil, três mil, cinco mil, oito mil anos foi construído, moldado, pelas mãos dos antepassados de todos os judeus e todos os palestinos. Em alguns casos, dos antepassados comuns aos dois povos.Não existe saída que não o reconhecimento de que a terra é dos dois. Precisamos dos dois países. E, às vezes, a paz nasce justamente quando não parece mais haver esperança.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Israel's Most Controversial Politician, with Itamar Ben-Gvir

There's no more divisive Israeli public figure than Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir. Starting out his career as a Kahanist firebrand known for his controversial stances—like decorating his living room with a photograph of Baruch Goldstein, or working to free Yigal Amir, Yitzhak Rabin's assassin—Ben-Gvir evolved from a political sideshow to kingmaker, winning several Knesset seats and joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition. For some Israelis, he's the strong-willed, strong-armed course correction after too many years of being too soft on terror. To many others, he's an abomination, subverting the nation's democratic values. Visiting New York this week, Ben-Gvir attended a live event moderated by Liel to talk about his past, his actions in office, and his vision for the future of the war against Hamas.

On this final episode of the Scheer Intelligence podcast hosted on KCRW but continuing on ScheerPost.com,  host Robert Scheer welcomes Larry Gross, author and Professor Emeritus of Communication at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. The two cover Zionism, specifically through the lens of Gross, who lived in Israel and personally witnessed the country’s evolution from its earlier claim to progressive idealism under its Labor party founders to the brutalizing occupation of Gaza and the West Bank Palestinians. Although the term Zionism carries negative international weight today, Gross tells the story of his family, who came to Israel after his father left the United States in response to McCarthyism. Israel’s early labor connected and progressive politics represented a symbol of opportunity and hope for the Jewish diaspora community, such as Gross’ family. His father, who worked for, and was friends with then Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, thought Israel was “realizing this dream of the Zionist left, which was the party that had governed Israel… and was purporting to be creating both a Jewish state [and] also a progressive state.” As Gross aged, however, Zionism’s mask slowly began to peel and the ugliness would emerge. “As a teenager growing up in Israel, some of the contradictions were already becoming apparent, ones that today are all too unmistakable,” Gross tells Scheer. Israel has sharply broken from its labor affiliated days after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin by a Jewish religious fanatic to the ascendancy of Benjamin Netanyahu’s far right Zionist government. Zionism turned on itself and now threatens the very Jews who initially looked upon it with hope. Gross’s family escaped McCarthyism, but now Jews like him in America working in groups like Jewish Voice for Peace, objecting to Israel’s uncontrolled militarism, face a more virulent repression from the Trump Administration inspired by Israel's right-wing militancy. Gross cites the pro-Palestine campus protests and explains, “what is happening in universities today… they are performing anticipatory compliance. They are failing to stand up, just as universities unfortunately did in the 1950s in that era we call McCarthyism, in which they fired people, they refused to hire them, they rewrote policies.” Gross remarks that there are many voices of reason, including many Jews, that speak out against Israel’s atrocities today. “The slogan ‘never again’ has to mean never again, including to Palestinians,” he says.

Vincent Lemire, historien spécialiste de Jérusalem est le directeur du centre de recherche français à Jérusalem, maître de conférences et spécialiste des conflits du Proche-Orient.Il est l'auteur de très nombreux ouvrages, dernièrement de la bande dessinée à succès "Jérusalem" mais il a également participé au podcast de France Inter "Israël Palestine : anatomie d'un conflit" et est l'auteur du livre éponyme.Vincent a consacré l'ensemble de sa carrière à étudier cette région du monde, avec un regard attentif sur les dynamiques historiques, religieuses et géopolitiques qui la traversent. Ensemble, nous avons pris le temps de décrypter un sujet complexe, sensible et souvent mal compris : le conflit israélo-palestinien.Aucun sujet ne devrait être tabou mais il est important de les traiter avec neutralité et s'attachant aux faits et aux lois. C'est exactement ce que l'on fait avec Vincent.Cet épisode est le plus long jamais réalisé sur Vlan, il est donc séparé en 2 parties. Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de l'émergence du sionisme, un mouvement politique et national né à la fin du 19ème siècle en Europe. C'est Theodor Herzl, marqué par l'antisémitisme européen, et notamment par l'affaire Dreyfus en France, qui a formulé l'idée d'un refuge pour les Juifs dans un contexte de montée des persécutions. J'ai questionné Vincent sur la manière dont ce projet sioniste s'est structuré et les différentes options qui ont été envisagées avant que la Palestine ne devienne la destination privilégiée pour la création d'un foyer national juif. Ce point de départ est crucial pour comprendre les tensions qui s'en suivront.Nous avons aussi exploré la cohabitation entre Juifs, Musulmans et Chrétiens dans la Palestine ottomane à la fin du 19ème siècle. Contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait imaginer, les relations entre ces communautés étaient relativement harmonieuses à l'époque, notamment à Jérusalem, où la municipalité était mixte, avec des représentants de chaque communauté. Vincent explique comment ce fragile équilibre a été bouleversé par la montée des nationalismes à partir du début du 20ème siècle.Le conflit a véritablement pris forme après la Première Guerre mondiale, lorsque les puissances coloniales ont pris le contrôle de la région. Nous avons discuté de la guerre de 1948, un tournant décisif, et des raisons pour lesquelles les Palestiniens ont rejeté le plan de partage proposé par l'ONU. Vincent offre un éclairage précieux sur cette période, où 80% de la population en Palestine était arabe, mais où le projet sioniste prenait de plus en plus de poids, soutenu par une volonté de créer un État juif indépendant.La guerre des Six Jours en 1967, un autre moment clé, a conduit à l'occupation de la Cisjordanie, de Gaza, du Golan et du Sinaï par Israël. Cet épisode a profondément redessiné les frontières de la région, transformant le conflit israélo-palestinien en une lutte pour la restitution des territoires. Nous avons discuté de la façon dont cette occupation perdure encore aujourd'hui et comment elle continue d'alimenter les tensions.Enfin, nous avons abordé les tentatives de paix, notamment les accords d'Oslo dans les années 1990, qui avaient suscité beaucoup d'espoir mais qui, malheureusement, ont échoué à apporter une solution durable.J'ai interrogé Vincent sur les raisons de cet échec, en particulier le pari fait par Yasser Arafat, qui a reconnu l'existence d'Israël en échange d'un espoir de restitution de 22% du territoire pour un État palestinien. A cette occasion, il recevra le prix Nobel de la Paix conjointement avec Yitzhak Rabin et Shimon Peres.Malheureusement, cet espoir n'a jamais été concrétisé.Cet épisode est une véritable plongée dans l'histoire et les enjeux contemporains du conflit israélo-palestinien. Nous tentons de prendre du recul pour mieux comprendre les racines profondes de cette confrontation, les dynamiques religieuses et nationales, ainsi que le rôle des grandes puissances dans la région. C'est une invitation à aller au-delà des raccourcis et des idées préconçues pour saisir la complexité d'un conflit qui continue de modeler l'actualité internationale.Une partie des questions que l'on traite avec Vincent :À partir de quel moment historique est-il pertinent de remonter pour comprendre le conflit israélo-palestinien ?Comment le projet sioniste a-t-il émergé à la fin du 19ème siècle et quelle a été son influence sur les relations internationales ?Quelles ont été les motivations derrière la déclaration de Balfour en 1917 et comment a-t-elle changé le cours du conflit ?Quelles étaient les dynamiques religieuses et sociales entre Juifs, Musulmans et Chrétiens dans la Palestine ottomane avant le début des tensions nationalistes ?Pourquoi les Palestiniens ont-ils refusé le plan de partage de l'ONU en 1947 ?Quels ont été les impacts des guerres de 1948 et de 1967 sur les frontières actuelles de la région ?En quoi la guerre des Six Jours de 1967 a-t-elle marqué un tournant décisif dans le conflit israélo-palestinien ?Comment l'occupation israélienne de la Cisjordanie et de Gaza s'est-elle mise en place, et pourquoi persiste-t-elle encore aujourd'hui ?Quelles étaient les principales divergences entre les mouvements sionistes révisionnistes et les mouvements sionistes plus modérés ?Pourquoi les accords d'Oslo ont-ils échoué à résoudre le conflit et quels étaient les enjeux stratégiques pour les deux parties ?Quel rôle a joué la diaspora palestinienne dans le soutien international à la cause palestinienne ?Comment les puissances coloniales, comme la France et le Royaume-Uni, ont-elles influencé les premiers accords autour de la Palestine ?Quel est l'impact de la montée des mouvements religieux en Israël et en Palestine sur les négociations politiques ?En quoi le processus de paix est-il entravé par la politique des colonies israéliennes en Cisjordanie ?Pourquoi les frontières définies après la guerre de 1948 n'ont-elles pas suffi à stabiliser la région ?Quel rôle jouent les grandes puissances, comme les États-Unis et la Russie, dans la dynamique du conflit actuel ?Comment la guerre en Ukraine a-t-elle influencé la perception du conflit israélo-palestinien sur la scène internationale ?En quoi les accords récents, comme ceux d'Abraham, impactent-ils le conflit israélo-palestinien ?Quels sont les principaux points de blocage dans les négociations actuelles entre Israël et l'Autorité palestinienne ?Comment l'évolution des mouvements politiques en Israël, comme la montée de l'extrême droite, a-t-elle influencé la gestion du conflit ?Quelle est la position de l'Union Européenne sur les colonies israéliennes et l'occupation des territoires ?Pourquoi les résolutions de l'ONU n'ont-elles pas abouti à une solution durable ?En quoi la guerre des Yom Kippour en 1973 a-t-elle modifié la géopolitique régionale ?Comment la question des réfugiés palestiniens influence-t-elle encore aujourd'hui le processus de paix ?Quel rôle les organisations non-gouvernementales jouent-elles dans la médiation du conflit ?Timestamps00:00 - Le poids des résolutions de l'ONU :03:30 - La politique américaine au Moyen-Orient : 08:00 - La radicalisation religieuse des deux côtés : 12:45 - Discussion sur le terme "génocide" dans le contexte israélo-palestinien : 20:00 - Les mouvements BDS et les appels au boycott d'Israël : 27:15 - L'influence des médias internationaux : 33:45 - L'expansion des colonies israéliennes en Cisjordanie : 40:00 - Les accords d'Abraham : 45:30 - Héritage de la guerre des Six Jours (1967) : 51:00 - Le futur de Jérusalem :55:30 - Perspectives pour une solution pacifique : Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #312 Les défis géopolitiques d'un monde hors de contrôle avec Thomas Gomart (https://audmns.com/jscnrns) #166 Comprendre le phénomène des génocides pour les éviter avec Jacques Fredj (https://audmns.com/ftstCEN) #175 Comprendre le dessous des guerres invisibles mondiales avec Thomas Gomart (https://audmns.com/DDPnQDW)

Nous avons discuté de la façon dont cette occupation perdure encore aujourd'hui et comment elle continue d'alimenter les tensions.Enfin, nous avons abordé les tentatives de paix, notamment les accords d'Oslo dans les années 1990, qui avaient suscité beaucoup d'espoir mais qui, malheureusement, ont échoué à apporter une solution durable.J'ai interrogé Vincent sur les raisons de cet échec, en particulier le pari fait par Yasser Arafat, qui a reconnu l'existence d'Israël en échange d'un espoir de restitution de 22% du territoire pour un État palestinien. A cette occasion, il recevra le prix Nobel de la Paix conjointement avec Yitzhak Rabin et Shimon Peres.Malheureusement, cet espoir n'a jamais été concrétisé.Cet épisode est une véritable plongée dans l'histoire et les enjeux contemporains du conflit israélo-palestinien. Nous tentons de prendre du recul pour mieux comprendre les racines profondes de cette confrontation, les dynamiques religieuses et nationales, ainsi que le rôle des grandes puissances dans la région. C'est une invitation à aller au-delà des raccourcis et des idées préconçues pour saisir la complexité d'un conflit qui continue de modeler l'actualité internationale.Une partie des questions que l'on traite avec Vincent :À partir de quel moment historique est-il pertinent de remonter pour comprendre le conflit israélo-palestinien ?Comment le projet sioniste a-t-il émergé à la fin du 19ème siècle et quelle a été son influence sur les relations internationales ?Quelles ont été les motivations derrière la déclaration de Balfour en 1917 et comment a-t-elle changé le cours du conflit ?Quelles étaient les dynamiques religieuses et sociales entre Juifs, Musulmans et Chrétiens dans la Palestine ottomane avant le début des tensions nationalistes ?Pourquoi les Palestiniens ont-ils refusé le plan de partage de l'ONU en 1947 ?Quels ont été les impacts des guerres de 1948 et de 1967 sur les frontières actuelles de la région ?En quoi la guerre des Six Jours de 1967 a-t-elle marqué un tournant décisif dans le conflit israélo-palestinien ?Comment l'occupation israélienne de la Cisjordanie et de Gaza s'est-elle mise en place, et pourquoi persiste-t-elle encore aujourd'hui ?Quelles étaient les principales divergences entre les mouvements sionistes révisionnistes et les mouvements sionistes plus modérés ?Pourquoi les accords d'Oslo ont-ils échoué à résoudre le conflit et quels étaient les enjeux stratégiques pour les deux parties ?Quel rôle a joué la diaspora palestinienne dans le soutien international à la cause palestinienne ?Comment les puissances coloniales, comme la France et le Royaume-Uni, ont-elles influencé les premiers accords autour de la Palestine ?Quel est l'impact de la montée des mouvements religieux en Israël et en Palestine sur les négociations politiques ?En quoi le processus de paix est-il entravé par la politique des colonies israéliennes en Cisjordanie ?Pourquoi les frontières définies après la guerre de 1948 n'ont-elles pas suffi à stabiliser la région ?Quel rôle jouent les grandes puissances, comme les États-Unis et la Russie, dans la dynamique du conflit actuel ?Comment la guerre en Ukraine a-t-elle influencé la perception du conflit israélo-palestinien sur la scène internationale ?En quoi les accords récents, comme ceux d'Abraham, impactent-ils le conflit israélo-palestinien ?Quels sont les principaux points de blocage dans les négociations actuelles entre Israël et l'Autorité palestinienne ?Comment l'évolution des mouvements politiques en Israël, comme la montée de l'extrême droite, a-t-elle influencé la gestion du conflit ?Quelle est la position de l'Union Européenne sur les colonies israéliennes et l'occupation des territoires ?Pourquoi les résolutions de l'ONU n'ont-elles pas abouti à une solution durable ?En quoi la guerre des Yom Kippour en 1973 a-t-elle modifié la géopolitique régionale ?Comment la question des réfugiés palestiniens influence-t-elle encore aujourd'hui le processus de paix ?Quel rôle les organisations non-gouvernementales jouent-elles dans la médiation du conflit ?Timestamps : 02:00 - Les origines du sionisme : Émergence du projet sioniste en Europe à la fin du 19ème siècle en réponse à l'antisémitisme.07:00 - La cohabitation à Jérusalem avant 1908 : Juifs, Musulmans et Chrétiens vivaient en harmonie dans la Palestine ottomane.12:30 - L'influence de la déclaration de Balfour (1917) : Promesse britannique de soutien à la création d'un foyer national juif.18:45 - La guerre de 1948 et le plan de partage de l'ONU : Analyse des raisons pour lesquelles les Palestiniens ont refusé le plan proposé.23:00 - La montée des tensions dans les années 1920 : La formation des milices juives et les premières confrontations.28:40 - L'impact de la guerre des Six Jours (1967) : Transformation des frontières et occupation des territoires palestiniens.35:00 - La question des réfugiés palestiniens : Les conséquences de l'expulsion de milliers de Palestiniens après 1948.40:15 - Pourquoi les accords d'Oslo ont échoué : Discussion sur les espoirs et les déceptions des négociations des années 1990.45:30 - La montée de l'extrême droite en Israël : Impact des partis religieux et nationalistes sur la politique israélienne.50:10 - Le rôle des colonies israéliennes : Comment la politique de colonisation en Cisjordanie complique le processus de paix.55:45 - Le rôle des grandes puissances : L'implication des États-Unis, de la Russie et de l'Union Européenne dans la gestion du conflit.1:01:00 - La perspective palestinienne aujourd'hui : Comment les Palestiniens perçoivent leur situation face à l'occupation israélienne.1:05:00 - Le rôle des médias et des réseaux sociaux : Leur impact sur la perception internationale du conflit.1:10:00 - Les accords d'Abraham : Quels impacts ont eu ces accords récents sur la dynamique du conflit israélo-palestinien ?1:12:30 - Perspectives d'avenir : Quelles solutions sont envisageables pour un futur plus apaisé dans la région ?

Are John and Joyce Edmonds the unwitting guardians of a portal to another dimension? Is their story a descent into madness? Or are we all fascinated by what is just an elaborate hoax? (Interdimensional Intruders: The Mystery of Stardust Ranch) *** In the abandoned halls of Gartloch Hospital, a century-old psychiatric facility on the outskirts of Glasgow, two nurses recount chilling encounters with spectral figures from the past. From mysterious footsteps echoing in empty corridors to a ghostly matron disappearing through locked doors, their stories paint a picture of a hospital where the line between the living and the dead blurs. Do the spirits of Gartloch's past still roam its wards? (The Ghosts of Garloch) *** In 1954, a wave of panic swept through Washington state as thousands of motorists reported mysterious damage to their car windshields. What began as a local curiosity in Bellingham soon exploded into a statewide phenomenon, sparking wild theories ranging from cosmic rays to hatching sand fleas. But was this truly an epidemic of vandalism and unexplained phenomena, or a textbook case of mass delusion fueled by Cold War anxieties? (The Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic) *** In the depths of Switzerland's Lake Brienz, a drowned man's body was found astonishingly intact—despite having been dead for over 300 years. Preserved by the rare and eerie process of saponification, his remains were encased in a waxy substance formed from body fat under the right conditions. This eerie phenomenon transforms bodies into waxy time capsules, defying the natural process of decay. We'll look at the creepy but somehow natural reality of corpse wax. (Corpse Wax) *** For centuries, scholars and enthusiasts have speculated about hidden messages encoded within ancient texts, with recent claims suggesting that the Bible itself conceals secret prophecies waiting to be uncovered. From predicting historical events like World War II and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin to foretelling the Oklahoma City bombing, proponents of the "Bible Code" believe these codes reveal divine insights. Are these hidden messages genuine revelations, or merely the result of overactive imaginations and random patterns?

In May 1976, four terrorists hijacked an aeroplane as it took off from Athens airport. Most of the passengers were Israeli or Jewish. After a stop-off in Libya, the plane was flown to Uganda where, in front of the world's media, the next few days played out like some weird and unreal film. Would the Israelis comply with the terrorists' demands? Would the hostages be executed? Or – most unlikely of all – would the powers that be in Israel attempt a daring rescue mission? Those few days at Entebbe have been written about extensively since then. Films and documentaries have been produced, recounting these astonishing events. Many speak of the military daring and ingenuity of the Israelis. What they accomplished defied all logic. And yet few view this amazing event in the light of Bible prophecy. The Father promised to preserve His people. He stated openly that the might of the enemy would come to nought. That His children would survive, against all the odds. And for those with “eyes to see”, the Israeli soldiers' actions at Entebbe demonstrate this principle to be true for, as God has promised, “no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper” Operation Thunderbolt, which took place in July 1976, was a daring rescue mission carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to save Israeli hostages held by terrorists at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. While the operation displayed remarkable military precision and strategic planning, we can appreciate that divine intervention was key to the success of the mission. As detailed in this study, one can find many aspects within the event that could be seen as demonstrations of extraordinary circumstances aligning in favor of the rescue mission. The crisis began on June 27, 1976, when an Air France plane with 248 passengers was hijacked by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the German Revolutionary Cells. The terrorists redirected the aircraft to Entebbe Airport, where they held the Israeli passengers hostage while releasing non-Israeli passengers. Some notable elements include: Intelligence: The IDF obtained crucial intelligence about the location and layout of the airport, as well as the positions and capabilities of the terrorists. This information was instrumental in planning the mission and ensuring the element of surprise. Strategic Planning: Israeli forces meticulously planned and rehearsed the operation, taking into account the unique challenges they would face, such as the long distance from Israel and the need to navigate hostile territory. Internal and International Support: Israel's Prime Minister at the time, Yitzhak Rabin, displayed strong leadership and authorized the mission. Additionally, Israel received vital assistance from friendly nations, including the provision of old airport blueprints and refuelling support from Kenya. Speed and Precision: The IDF executed the operation with remarkable speed, allowing them to neutralize the terrorists, free the hostages, and evacuate them within a short timeframe. The precision of their assault minimized casualties and maximized the chances of success. Surprise and Decisiveness: The terrorists, as well as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, were caught off guard by the Israeli raid. The element of surprise greatly contributed to the success of the operation. ******* This video was produced by the ChristadelphianVideo.org project, You can follow us online at.. #1 Our Main site... https://cdvideo.org #2 Our podcast on Podbean... https://cdvideo.org/podcast #3 Our podcast on Apple...https://cdvideo.org/podcast-apple #4 Our podcast on Anchor...https://cdvideo.org/truth-talk #5 Our facebook...https://facebook.com/OpenBibles #6 Our Whats App... http://cdvideo.org/WhatsApp #7 Our Instagram... http://cdvideo.org/Instagram #8 Our twitter... http://cdvideo.org/twitter Related to: No Weapon Formed Against Thee Shall Prosper https://youtu.be/aXIm79cOZIE

Hezbollah released a video over the weekend flaunting a massive tunnel network with precision rockets and underground launch sites. It came amid lingering threats that Hezbollah would retaliate for the killing of its top military commander last month. Dr. Jacques Neriah, a senior researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and a former policy adviser to prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, said that the revelation was a move to deter Israel from attacking it. He told reporter Arieh O'Sullivan that Hezbollah was more keen on destroying Israel than preserving Lebanon and that an agreement with it wasn't likely.
