Israeli television airs Holocaust documentaries and Holocaust-related talk shows, and low-key songs are played on the radio. Flags on public buildings are flown at half mast. At 10:00 AM, an air raid siren sounds throughout the country and Israelis are expected to observe two minutes[10] of solemn reflection. Almost everyone stops what they are doing, including motorists who stop their cars in the middle of the road, standing beside their vehicles in silence as the siren is sounded.[11] |

 Elder of Ziyon logo http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/ The Mass Extermination of Jews in German Occupied Poland, published December 1942, ignored by the worldElder of Ziyon 20April2020 http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-mass-extermination-of-jews-in.html The Mass Extermination of Jews in German Occupied Poland was published by the Polish government-in-exile in December 1942 and sent to the foreign ministers of the 26 government signatories of the Declaration by United Nations. It was the first official document informing the Western public about the Holocaust.[ Though the document contained extensive information on the persecution and murder of Jews in Poland, its effect was limited because many people outside German-occupied Europe found it difficult to believe the Germans were systematically exterminating Jews. After meeting with Jan Karski, who had made multiple undercover trips into occupied Poland and escaped to warn the Allies, Jewish U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter said he did not think Karski was lying, but that he could not believe him. Historians are divided as to why the Polish government in exile did not publicize this earlier. The most important item in the brochure is known as Raczyński’s Note, by Edward Bernard Raczyński, the foreign minister of the Polish government-in-exile. Raczyński discussed the Germans’ initial shooting executions and subsequent lethal gassings of Polish Jews. As horrible as his descriptions are, the reality was even worse. And the world stayed silent. |

Where was Hashem, the protector of Israel, during the Holocaust?
The Holocaust OperationHolocaust Remembrance Day is 18-April. It’s so difficult to see suffering! How can we look “through it” to see the greater good that will be born from it?Kalever Rebbe Posted on 30January2023 https://breslev.com/3906980/
Elokim spoke to Moshe, and He said to him, “I am the Havayah (the Lord).” (Shemot 6:5) Pain with PurposeOver the years, while traveling throughout the world, meeting with Jews from diverse backgrounds, many secular Jews would commonly ask me: “Where was Hashem, the protector of Israel, during the Holocaust?”
I would answer this question with an analogy: A father had one child, a son, that was born later in his life. He cherished his only child and loved him dearly. When the boy was young, tragedy struck, and he became severely ill with a life-threatening disease. Seeking a cure, the father brought his son to a specialist who recommended a surgery that, while excruciating and painful, would cure the boy.
Obviously, the loving father agreed. However, his son was too young to truly appreciate the gravity of the situation. And, as the doctor proceeded with the surgery, the son cried out in agonizing anguish to his father to stop the surgery. When his father remained stoic and allowed the doctor to continue, the son thought his father had abandoned him.
However, when the boy grew up, he understood that that surgery saved his life and the pain he had to experience was for his ultimate good.
The lesson is clear. Hashem, the Creator of everything in the world, selected the Jewish people as His only child. And Hashem loves and cherishes every Jew, and He only showers goodness and kindness on the Jewish people. However, like the father in the analogy, there are times when Hashem knows that it is necessary for a Jew to endure a challenge or to suffer for a finite amount of time on this world, to merit ultimate and eternal goodness for their soul.
However, like the child, that person doesn’t always understand how that pain is saving his life and paving the way to an outcome that is only and fully good. They falsely feel like Hashem has abandoned them. And, they start to believe that this pain is without purpose, that their suffering is not Hashgacha Pratit, Divine Providence.
Millions of precious Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. It is understandable that someone might begin to forget that suffering in this world is for an ultimate good; that the pain has a purpose. However, when a person comes to the Upper Worlds, he will be able to clearly see that everything that had happened in this world, in his life, was only for the ultimate good. The pain was the path to the cure. Rescued Through an IllnessIn fact, we clearly saw Hashgacha Pratit throughout the Holocaust. There are countless miraculous stories of yidden being saved within those darkest moments of human suffering. And many of the survivors who suffered in the days of the Holocaust, managed to see how their suffering was an Hashgacha Pratit to save their lives. Through the temporary suffering they were able to live long and sweet lives, and merited to see their families and communities rebuilt and thrive.
Let me share one example of my own life. I was born before the war in Mihalyfalva, Hungary. When I was a child, my holy father ztz”l had developed an illness that required specific medical attention and care that was simply not available in our town. Therefore, he would travel to the Romanian town of Arad where there were doctors who could treat him. He traveled so often, that eventually our family had made the difficult decision to relocate to Arad. During the Holocaust, when the Germans occupied Hungary, the entire town of Mihalyfalva, every single Jew, was sent to Auschwitz. The illness led our family to moving, which, in the end, saved our lives. The Stolen BreadWe can see a similar example in the following story: A Jew was in one of the concentration camps towards the end of the war. Food was even more scarce than usual, and he hadn’t eaten for some time. One day, the Nazis were handing out small parcels of bread, barely larger than crumbs. But, in that state of hunger, the Jew eagerly accepted his portion. But then a non-Jewish prisoner stole his small piece of bread.
He was devastated and angry. He furiously screamed, “Hashem, why would You do something so cruel to me!?” His anger was so overpowering, and his body was so frail from starvation, that he fainted from sheer exhaustion.
When he regained consciousness, there was an eerie silence throughout the camp. There was not a sound. Just stillness. Confused, he went looking around to see where everyone had gone. He quickly learned that the allied forces were rapidly approaching and would be liberating the camp. Before the Nazis fled, they poisoned all the prisoners with the bread they had handed out. This Jew was the sole remaining survivor.
When the bread was stolen, he was angry and thought that Hashem was being cruel. He only saw the momentary suffering. However, in retrospect, he was able to realize that his bread being stolen saved his life. The source of that pain itself was salvation. Only GoodnessReb Shmuel Eliyahu from Madzitz ztz”l once shared with me the following incredibly inspiring and powerful Devar Torah that can uplift someone facing the most difficult challenges:
Suffering and tragedies come from the heavens in two different ways. For the non-Jews, they are punished for their behavior. However, when suffering and hardships are sent into a Jew’s life, they come from a place of love. The Jew’s suffering is solely for the goodness that will inevitably come after. It is truly an act of Hashem’s love. We can see this very concept from the pasuk that says (Shemot 15:26), all the sicknesses that I have visited upon Egypt I will not visit upon you, for I, the Lord (Havayah), heal you. This pasuk can be understood as follows:
The plagues were all the sicknesses that Hashem vengefully inflicted upon the Egyptians. This type of pain, I will not visit upon you. Rather, Hashem always interacts mercifully with the Jews for their “healing” and for their goodness. [Each name of Hashem reflects a different character trait or attribute. The name used at the end of this pasuk, Havayah, is the Name that expresses Hashem’s Mercy. for I, the Lord (Havayah), heal you: meaning that Hashem always interacts with the Jews with Havayah and mercy for the sake of healing them.] Therefore, when we see a Jew suffering, you need to know that that suffering itself is the catalyst for the healing; the pain is the cure because it purifies the soul from sins etc. Why “Woe”?!The Yerushalmi taught (Shekalim 23b) that ‘Nachum Ish Gam Zoo’ became very ill, and his entire body was covered with painful boils. R’ Akiva came to visit him and said, “Woe to me that I have to see you like this. Nachum rebuked him saying, “Why are you kicking my suffering?” Why was Nachum upset?
R’ Yitzchak Isaac of Kamarno, zt”l, explained that when Nachum heard R’ Akiva say “Woe” he interpreted that as revealing that R’ Akiva only saw the suffering and pain for its face value. He didn’t see that through this illness R’ Nachum could only obtain greater goodness and blessings in his life. Nachum felt that all suffering and pain will eventually lead to a greater good, that Hashem only desires goodness for the Jews and, therefore, the suffering must be accepted with love.
The early philosophers mistakenly espoused that there were two dominions in this world, God Forbid. One that delivered good things into the world, and one that inflicted pain and suffering. They thought that it was impossible for mercy itself to do something that seemed terrible or evil. Moshe Rabbeinu’s MessageWhen Moshe saw the circumstances in Egypt get worse for the Jews, he asked Hashem, “Why have You harmed this people? (Shemot 5:2). Moshe questioned why there had to be further suffering.
And Hashem responded (Shemot 6:2) “Elokim spoke to Moshe.” The name of Elokim represents din and punishment. However, that din, that suffering itself is a chessed, a kindness, as the pasuk continues, “and He said to him, “I am Havayah.” Meaning, even though it seems like din, it feels like suffering, it is still I, the source of all kindness, that directs that pain for a greater good. The Elokim is Havayah which represents kindness.
In the margins of my father’s Chumash, at the beginning of the next Pasuk, next to the word וארא- I appeared (Shemot 6:3), he wrote: Ve’era is an acronym for the words in the pasuk (Yeshayahu 44:6), א’ני ר’אשון ו’אני א’חרון-I am first and I am last. Hashem alone oversees and intervenes in the world. At times, He first sends suffering and hardships, but in the end it will be good. That same essence of goodness is present in the “beginning” and the “last”. *** The Kalever Rebbe is the seventh Rebbe of the Kaalov Chasidic dynasty, begun by his ancestor who was born to his previously childless parents after receiving a blessing from the Baal Shem Tov zy”a, and later learned under the Maggid of Mezeritch zt”l.

Out of the AshesIn the aftermath of horrible destruction, HaShem is setting the foundation for the future, just like a seed that rots before it germinates and grows into a mighty tree…Natalie Kovan Posted on 22December2010 https://breslev.com/367446/ I am a third generation Holocaust survivor.
I never understood exactly what this was supposed to mean. Was that like first cousin once removed? Second survivor twice removed? How does one ‘become’ a survivor without having survived the actual event?
It wasn’t until about junior high school that the reality of what this really means hit me with full force. I remember sitting on the school bus, waiting for our ride home to begin. I don’t remember if the bus was running late, or what the exact circumstances were. This was, of course in the pre-cellphone era, (or as my children say—the Olden Days) and I couldn’t reach my mother to tell her. I pressed my nose to the grimy window and suddenly realized that my safety—and well being mattered—really mattered—to my parents, and ultimately, my grandfather. That the unspoken vibes I had been receiving since my appearance as a physical being on this earth were born on the double edged sword of hope and fear. Hope, for I was the next chain in the link of our family—and the ever pervading fear that accompanies all survivors of not knowing what may be around the bend.
As survivors go, my grandfather has been and continues to be (may HaShem grant him long life) the epitome of optimism in a world gone mad. From his example, I have learned to overcome adversity. To pick myself up and move on. To laugh at life—and embrace it. He’s always been involved and takes an interest in the minutia of our daily lives. Whatever scars he carries, he carries them well, and they never allowed him to distance himself from his family. On the contrary, his family became the center of his existence, his greatest testament to a Jew’s power to rebuild through emuna.
Even so, one can’t live through one of the worst disasters of the Jewish people without some degree of apprehension. When I was born, my grandfather cried incredulous tears of joy. I, as the first grandchild, represented the ultimate miracle of his survival, one that at times he never thought he’d see. And When I took my first steps, he would walk behind me, lest I should fall and hurt myself. Caution was of utmost importance. There was an unspoken, underlying disquietude below the surface of our lives to always tread carefully. Cautiously. To always have passports in order, for one never knows what’s coming. Even in my most reckless teenaged moments I was aware of this awesome responsibility to take care of myself, and thus, I was always the designated driver. This was Hitler’s (may his name be erased) inheritance to us, to our family. The word carefree is rare in a family of ‘survivors’, for that is what we are—we continue to survive the ill effects of one of Judaism’s darkest hours to this very day.
My grandfather survived in the forests of Europe with his brother until the end of the war. They lived like animals, living in caves, in trees, surviving on the kindness of the forest keeper who had mercy on them and who provided them with much needed provisions. At times, they were running for their lives from the Germans, sprinkling their trail with paprika to confuse the scent of the German dogs. To this day, when I see a German Shepherd I think of the Nazis. And that is the bottom line—because my grandfather survived, my entire world is seen through the lens of the Holocaust. And that is why, even now, I am a third generation Holocaust survivor, and my children are the fourth. Because those fears are carried from one generation to the other—even without us wanting them to.
The Holocaust is the Achilles heel in a lot of peoples emuna. How, people ask, can HaShem, Who is so Kind and Merciful, allow the rampant destruction of His nation?How could He hide Himself, and turn away from the cry of His children?
I have recently been reading a number of Holocaust stories in Jewish periodicals and e-mails I received, and I was struck with a sudden realization. The common thread that ran through these narratives was of families reuniting after decades of separation. Families who had lost hope of ever seeing their loved ones were brought together through the most incredible twists and turns. HaShem’s Loving Hand was evident throughout. And that’s when the fallacy that HaShem was hidden during the Holocaust was completely shattered for me. HaShem was busy orchestrating the survival and salvation of all those slated to live. For all those neshamas that perished, there were thousands upon thousands of survivors who miraculously lived, who continued on to rebuild from the ashes of Europe. Even in the aftermath of horrible destruction, HaShem was setting the foundation for the future.
I remember a few years back, as we were packing for our trans-Atlantic move to Eretz Yisrael. My grandfather sat in my box strewn house, contemplating his granddaughter’s move to the other side of the world. My grandfather, who had come to Eretz Yisrael after the war, left after only a few years, my Israeli grandmother accompanying him to begin a family outside of the Holy Land. And here was his granddaughter, returning to that very place, with a yearning to live where millions of Jews throughout the millennium have yearned to live; the very Land, where her great grandparents who died in Auschwitz had dreamed of.
My grandfather, who has lived in several countries, including South America, where I was born, epitomizes the wandering Jew. Wandering and wondering about the Jew’s place in this world. And here comes his granddaughter who wants to not merely survive, but to LIVE in The Land of Israel, throwing her usual caution to the wind, in order to build a stronger foundation, with HaShem’s help, for the next generation.
Before we took leave of one another, my grandfather kissed me and whispered the same refrain that he has been whispering in my ear since my earliest recollections. “May HaShem watch over and protect you…” Here is a man who saw gehinnom on this earth—who saw with his own eyes the decimation of his family—and his people. A man who lived through a tragedy whose scope we should never know. And yet, my entire life, he drilled into my subconscious that HaShem is still the one in charge, and thus we should always beseech Him to watch over us.
Yes, the Holocaust is difficult to comprehend on all levels. Millions of Jews were wiped out in a matter of a few years, entire communities disappeared as if they never existed. And maybe—isn’t it time to try and focus on the miraculous salvation of so many? Maybe it’s time to give HaShem some credit when it comes to this sad chapter in our collective history? For there is no doubt about it—the Holocaust changed the entire Jewish landscape. But how about those who survived, and whose families continue to survive to this very day, because of HaShem’s loving kindness?How about all the scenarios HaShem orchestrated to ensure the survival of so many?
The Holocaust is a test of emuna. Either one sees it as a punishment on an entire nation, or one can view it as the catalyst for rebirth of that very same nation. As the grandchild of a survivor, I have grown up with the shadows of the Holocaust on the periphery of my life. If it’s cold, I think of all those in the camps who stood outside in below freezing conditions in threadbare clothing. If I see a train track, I think of the picture of my grandfather working on a similar setting in the labor camp. Barbed wire—forget about it. When I cook with paprika, I remind myself that this was one of the tools HaShem used to save my grandfather’s life—and time and again I have to remind myself to have emuna, and to just let my kids be—and try not to pass on the silent fears that continuously plague us– a family of survivors. These are the tests wrought by the Holocaust. But HaShem gave us an antidote called emuna—and we should use it generously in order to make peace with this period of Jewish history.
We see with our own eyes how HaShem’s plan is taking shape. We are constantly seeing prophecies fulfilled. Post Holocaust, we were gifted with our Land once more, an unprecedented move in all of our years in exile, beseeching us to return, to make it ours once again. We have seen a disproportionate number of baal teshuvas suddenly waking up—and picking up where their ancestors who perished in the infernos of Europe left off. HaShem is continuously building on the ruins of our past, brick by brick, steering us to an even greater future, which will beezrat HaShem culminate with our redemption. We can’t allow ourselves to stay stuck in our past, when it is obvious that we should be moving towards our future.
Watching my grandfather from the sidelines all these years, I am the last one to say that ‘we should forget’. On the contrary, we should never forget the crimes against humanity, as Eli Wiesel so aptly put it, that were perpetrated on our people. But in remembering, we should also focus on the miracles HaShem wrought for so many—like my grandfather. Like myself. Because he survived, I survive. Some questions, like the Holocaust, will not be fully answered until the coming of Moshiach. And the world should always hold the Holocaust as an example of the degenerative acts one man—and one nation—can inflict on another. But for a Jew like myself, I am going to try to focus on the miracles HaShem wrought for the Jewish people. For my grandfather. And for me.
I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank my grandfather for being a beacon of emuna in my life—and for always having faith in me. As his grandaughter, I can’t possibly repay him for all he has done for me throughout my life. But with Breslev Israel’s permission, I would like to request if possible, to say a kappittel of Tehillim, or a small prayer in your own words, for my grandfather, Dov ben Tzipporah Hindel, that he should regain his full eyesight—in the zechus of always seeing the world through the eyes of emuna. Thank you. |

 What a statement: thousands attend funeral of 4 murdered Paris Jews who were buried today in Israel: pic.twitter.com/op5Evv9oQm via @LukeReuters Yair Rosenberg @Yair_Rosenberg Thousands attend funeral in Jerusalem for victims of Paris supermarket attack Thousands attend funeral in Jerusalem for victims of Paris supermarket attack January 13, 2015 https://www.jta.org/2015/01/13/israel/thousands-attend-funeral-in-jerusalem-of-victims-of-paris-supermarket-
The victims “were murdered on the eve of the Sabbath, in a kosher supermarket in Paris, in cold blood, because they were Jewish,” Rivlin said, adding, “This is sheer hatred of Jews; abhorrent, dark and premeditated, which seeks to strike, wherever there is Jewish life.”
He called on the leaders of Europe to work to “commit to firm measures” to protect their communities’ Jews. The men were killed by Amedy Coulibaly, who took more than 20 people hostage at the market. Coulibaly was killed when police stormed the shop. He reportedly told the hostages during the standoff: “I will die today, but you before. You are Jewish, and today you are going to die.”
Some attending the funeral held signs in French reading “Je suis Juif” and “Je suis Israelien” — “I am Jewish” and “I am Israeli” — above photos of the victims.
The family members recited together the Mourner’s Kaddish after being assisted in tearing their clothes in the traditional Jewish sign of mourning. They then lit memorial torches for their loved ones.
“I have been saying for many years and I say it again today: These are not only enemies of the Jewish people, they are enemies of all mankind,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said of the terrorists. “It is time for all people of culture to unite and uproot these enemies from our midst.”
Netanyahu issued a call, as he has several times since the attack, for Jews to make their homes in Israel. “Jews have a right to live in many countries and have full security, but I believe that they know in their heart, there is one country which is their historic home, a state which will always accept them with open arms. This is the hope of the entire Jewish people,” he said.
French government minister Segolene Royal told the mourners in her native language that “Anti-Semitism has no place in France. Each hit suffered by a Jew is a hit suffered by the French people.”
Following her address, Royal bestowed the Order of the Legion of Honor, the country’s highest civilian honor, on each victim, and then went to each family member to express individual condolences. |

From Rav Lazer Brody:A Nazi by Any Other Name…27April2014 http://lazerbrody.typepad.com/lazer_beams/2014/04/a-nazi-by-any-other-name.htmlIn “Romeo and Juliet” by Shakespeare, Juliet says: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”Tonight and tomorrow is Holocaust Remembrance Day. If it were up to me, I’d remove the “remembrance” part and simply call it “Holocaust Day”. Why? The Holocaust still lurks all around the world. It’s ugly and deadly seeds are germinating and sprouting in the fertile growth medium of growing antisemitism.To paraphrase Juliet, “What’s in a name? that which we call a Nazi by any other name would smell as foul.”Here’s what I mean: Today’s USA: The Ku Klux Klan, Skinheads and Neo Nazis Today’s Ukraine: Svoboda Today’s Italy: Casa Pound Today’s France: Front Nationale Today’s Greece: Golden Dawn Today’s Hungary: Jobbik Party Every other country in Europe has growist Fascist and neo-Nazi movement, some already violent, like the one in Poland. Now, let’s add the growing global Jihadi groups, many hiding behind the back of so-called “moderate Islam”, in Scandinavia, the UK, Germany, France and the USA. How many times have the Iranians, Hizbulla, Hamaz and Islamic Jihad declared their intent to destroy Israel? Don’t be foolish enough to think that they’re only talking about Zionists; that’s merely a polite term for Jew. An Al-Qaida bomb in New York City or a Hizbulla booby trap in Buenos Aires is not intended for Zionists – the target is Jews. There’s a concept in the Jewish Laws of Purity: Immersion in the mikva doesn’t help someone who is holding a dead mouse in his or her hand. Why cry about Holocaust Day while perpetuating the Diaspora and being the victim of another potential Holocaust? Why aren’t people reading the global anti-Semitic writing on the wall? Can’t they realize that Hashem is telling everyone that it’s time to come home? Do you really want to do something about the Holocaust? Do you really want to prevent another Holocaust, G-d forbid? Rabbi Yehoshua Fass of Nefesh B’Nefesh is a dear friend of mine. Write him an email right now (tell him that Lazer sent you) and tell him that you’re interested in getting the ball of your aliya rolling. He’ll tell you what to do. The greatest memorial for the 6,000,000 Jews who died in the Holocaust is a strong, truly Jewish homeland. Cherished brothers and sisters, help us build it. Come home now; we’re waiting for you with open arms. Comment:

At the same time, with the upcoming Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel haters try to frame Israel as pure evil whose existence is itself a human rights crime and which reduces the security of Jews, not enhances.it.
Last week, pseudo rabbi Brant Rosen said this on Al Jazeera: [EDD: Al Jazeera is a known Antisemetic website, Video is antisemitic.]I responded with a tweet that received hundreds of Likes:
 Elder of Ziyon-tweet-21April 2023-Six million Jews were unavailable for comment.
On Sunday night, I decided to combine these two themes. I took actual photos of victims of the Holocaust, but I specifically chose photos that non-Jews could identify with. Except for the first, which as taken in the Birkenau camp before that family was murdered, I chose photos without the yellow star, without the emaciated victims. And I colorized them so they would look recent and not like they came from a long ago era.
I then wrote fairly angry posters noting that no one tried to save these Jews from being murdered – but if Israel existed, things might have been different.
I admit, this exercise really affected me as I was doing it. I was too emotionally drained after four posters to continue.  If Israel had existed ten years earlier this Family might not Have been Murdered
 If Israel had existed ten years earlier Florika Liebmann Might Have Been A Great Grandmother Today
 If Israel had existed in 1939, Elisabeth Gersch Might Have raised Her Daughter Eve in Haifa instead of Them Being Gassed To Death in Auschwitz
 Not ONE NATION OF EARTH CARED to Save Marina Smargonski from Death in the Riga Ghetto in 1941. Israel Would Have tried.
I don’t know if others would be as impacted, but perhaps this is a direction that might be useful for teaching both about the Holocaust and the importance of Israel. It won’t help for the many real Jew-haters out there (there are plenty of people on Twitter responding that Israel’s crimes are worse than Nazi Germany’s) but there will always be Jew-haters – the point is to reach normal people. |

British complicity in the German Holocaust
By Mordechai Ben-Menachem 9 Av 5783 (7 July 2023) https://www.israpundit.org/british-complicity-in-the-german-holocaust/ For Britain, the German Holocaust that would begin in 1933 actually began much earlier. The precise date is open for debate. Britain’s role in the Holocaust was active and intense, before Germany and ended afterwards, though less “productive” numerically. Britain was “the backstop” to Germany’s team. Germany was the perpetrator. But Britain was prime enabler, while no slouch in their own mass killing machine. The story and facts are still not well-known. The objective of this short article is awareness of the basic facts, so that interested people can find the entire story for themselves. This is about British murders of Jews during the Mandate, and what led to them – depending upon source, the quantity may be as many as 35,000. It is not possible to comprehend “what they did to us” without comprehending “what they did.” English actions toward Jews did not occur in a vacuum. The Monster QueenVictoria was crowned 24 May 1819 and reigned until 22 January 1901, [EDD: Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death in 1901. … From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria] when the world was finally shut of this “paragon of virtue.” Massive deaths occurred during her reign; one of the bloodiest in human history. “At a time when Ireland was enduring the terrible loss of a million dead and the mass exodus of a million more during the Great Hunger, the story goes that the Ottoman Sultan, Khaleefah Abdul-Majid I, declared his intention to send £10,000 to aid Ireland’s farmers. However, Queen Victoria intervened and requested that the Sultan send only £1,000 because she had sent only £2,000 herself. So the Sultan sent only the £1,000, but he also secretly sent five ships full of food. The English courts attempted to block the ships, but the food arrived in Drogheda harbor and was left there by Ottoman sailors.”[1] In a truly amazing feat of “Christian brotherly love” not one European country came to the aid of the Irish, neither Catholic (as the Irish) nor Christian; the Vatican did not even ease the burden of the tithe. “The London Times urged readers not to donate at all, pronouncing that sending funds to Ireland was akin to throwing money away in an ‘Irish bog’”.[2] “Lionel de Rothschild created an organisation for Irish relief which succeeded in donations of some about £600,000. … In the 1840s, in Ireland’s hour of greatest need, Jews in Britain, the United States and elsewhere heeded that call, donating money and working to alleviate some of the suffering of the Irish Potato Famine.”[3] Jews saved perhaps millions of Irish, in recompense, Ireland is now Europe’s most antisemitic country – they learned well from their masters. The MandateThe Mandate for Palestine was a written and signed contract, ratified as International Law by the San Remo Conference and subsequently by the League of Nations and United Nations. Withal, at NO point did any British government uphold even one article of that agreement that they had solemnly sworn to uphold. Lloyd George, in his memoirs stated clearly that it had always been his and his Government’s “intension” to abide by the agreement. Even Winston Churchill, at no point in his years as Prime Minister did the Churchill Government uphold even one Article of the agreed contract. Balfour Declaration in truth and contextBalfour Declaration importance results from its recognition of the historical rights of the Jewish People to a National Home, in their Homeland, by a world government – as opposed to that of the Blackstone Memorial, which was by individuals. A “world government” but not yet by general world governments; the broader recognition arrives slightly later, at San Remo. The declaration dates from 2 November 1917, and was initiated by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Balfour, as a letter to Dr. Haim Weizmann, head of the World Zionist Organisation, which was the recognized representative of the Jewish People. The Declaration was NOT a unilateral act of Britain. On 4 June 1917, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jules Cambon, wrote that the French government “felt sympathy” for the cause, as “renaissance of the Jewish nationality in that Land from which the people of Israel were exiled so many centuries ago.” British diplomacy also secured support of US President Wilson. There was also Ottoman Government agreement encouraging establishment of a Jewish Homeland; with historical precedent from sixteenth century actions of Suleiman. On 12 August 1918, Grand Vizier Talaat Pasha, issued: “… We have resolved to do away with all restrictive measures and definitely to abolish the restrictive regulations regarding the immigration and settlement of Jews in Palestine. I assure you of my sympathy for the creation of a Jewish religious center in Palestine by means of well-organized immigration and colonization. It is my desire to place this work under the protection of the Turkish government.”[4] Add to this the letter of strong support from Assad (grandfather to the Butcher of Damascus). Britain assumed this was simply an alternate method to acquire an additional colony to join its ‘collection’ and never intended to keep any of its agreements, and in fact did not. Chronology of signed agreements:(1) In British-Ottoman negotiations of 1911-1913, Britain upheld sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire (except where breached prior to this agreement). Britain broke this agreement with the Constantinople Agreement and its subsequent agreements. In 1917, the war was going badly. Russia had left the field after the first revolution, while France was bogged down in trenches with no way out. (6) On 26 December 1915, Britain concluded an agreement with Abd al Aziz ibn al Rahman al Feisal al Saud (better known as ibn Saud – progenitor of the present Saud dynasty in Saudi Arabia). This was the first (of many) breaks with the agreement with the Ottoman Empire. With this, Britain paid ibn Saud some five thousand British Pounds Sterling per month. (7) There followed one of the most controversial acts of Britain in the War. “Perhaps no other British commitment in the Middle East in World War I attracted greater and more conflicting attention in the three decades following the war that the Husayn-McMahon correspondence. (14 July 1915 to 10 March 1916)”[7] Note that only in 1960 was the actual content released to public record. The correspondents were Henry McMahon, British High Commissioner for Egypt and Husayn ibn Ali Al Abadila, the Sharif of Mecca, the holiest spot for all Muslims. Britain’s objective was for the Sharif to initiate and lead a revolt against Ottoman rule in the Arabian Peninsula; despite the previous agreement with the Ottomans. The most historically significant aspect of this agreement was the great British effort, with centuries of diplomatic experience, for vague and ambiguous wording. This perfidy plagues the Middle East until the present – indeed, British misconduct is the primary source of the conflict between State of Israel and the Arabs. (8) The Tripartite Sykes-Picot Agreement on the Partition of the Ottoman Empire: Britain, France and Russia – 26 April 1916 to 23 October 1916. This agreement caused formation of Lebanon, Syria and Iraq as Arab “States” while disregarding the Kurds. The Golan Heights were ceded to the French on 7 March 1923, under terms of the Paulet-Newcombe Agreement; a subsidiary to Sykes-Picot; thus the international disagreement over the Golan Heights, as neither Sykes-Picot nor Paulet-Newcombe had validity; nor were they in any way reasonable to the populations of the areas under discussion. [8] “Into Mesopotamia – a vague geographical concept that at its largest embraced the Ottoman vilayets of Basrah, Baghdad, and Mosul – British-Indian forces moved only slowly, when they moved at all. Following the seizure of the city of Basrah as early as 22 November 1914, more than two years elapsed before British-Indian units took Baghdad (11 March 1917) … The Palestine campaign reopened with a flourish in the fall of 1917, after long and hesitant preparation and initial reverses in 1916, only to stall after the Egyptian Expeditionary Force captured Jerusalem in December 1917.”[9] (9) The British Balfour Declaration of Sympathy with Zionist Aspirations – 4 June 1917 to 2 November. [In interest of brevity, the full text of the Declaration is not included here. Also, the NILI story, though integral, is also omitted. Full texts can be found in my books – MBM.] Lloyd George, in his autobiography, asserted that Britain, at issuance, had “no intention” of not keeping the Declaration; “of aborting the possibility of an ultimate Jewish commonwealth in Palestine”. Full text of the Balfour Declaration was incorporated as an integral part of both the San Remo Resolution and the British Mandate for Palestine from the League of Nations; Transforming the Declaration from a “letter of intent” to a legally-binding and foundational document under international law. Note: NO Arab nation, organisation or entity opposed the San Remo Resolution. Britain never had any intention of keeping their sworn word. “It has been urged that the expression ‘a national home for the Jewish people’ offered a prospect that Palestine might in due course become a Jewish State or Commonwealth. His Majesty’s Government do not wish to contest the view, which was expressed by the Royal Commission, that the Zionist leaders at the time of the Balfour Declaration recognised that an ultimate Jewish State was not precluded by the terms of the Declaration. But, with the Royal Commission, His Majesty’s Government believe that the framers of the Mandate in which the Balfour Declaration was embodied could not have intended that Palestine should be converted into a Jewish State against the will of the Arab population of the country.”[10] The League of Nations agreed the British refused to abide by their sworn word. “In June (1939) the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations unanimously concluded ‘that the policy set out in the White Paper was not in accordance with the interpretation which, in agreement with the mandatory Power and the Council, the Commission had placed upon the Palestine mandate’ (Minutes of the Thirty-sixth Session, p. 275).”[11] This statement of “Mandatory Policy” before Parliament went unchallenged despite the explicit statement to the contrary in the Mandate Document: “Article 2: The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and also for safe-guarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion.”[12] This is ultimately very important, because interdiction British policy and mass murder was never given Parliament approval, was never passed as law. All tens of thousands of Jews killed were killed extra-judicially and illegally. Balfour himself later declared that there had been NO intention to form a Jewish State and that the Declaration was perfidy. NumbersFollowing is a brief display of quantities of Jews Murdered by Britain during the Mandate: this is NOT complete, new discoveries still occur. Warship Ramming of an unarmed civilian ship on the High Seas (not territorial waters) because the Capitan “suspects” they may in the future commit a crime not Parliamentary proscribed is a crime. More than 1,700 Jews were murdered by the British Navy by ramming, alone.
Note that British warship interdictions continued through 1951.

Home Front Command alerts during Shabbat and the holiday
Silent wave during Shabbat and the holiday
During Shabbat and the holidays, you can receive Home Front Command alerts via the Silent Wave frequencies
https://www.oref.org.il/eng/articles/haredim/rockets-missles/4401
Radio Stations operating in “Silent Wave” format, providing preliminary guidelines, alerts, and end-of-event notifications; the National Emergency Portal on your computer; and the Home Front Command app—this is how you can receive the alerts in your area on Shabbat and Holidays.
Shabbat and Holidays observant citizens can receive the alerts and guidelines through the following means:
Silent Wave on Radio Stations
The following radio stations cease broadcasting on Shabbat and holidays and provide preliminary guidelines, alerts, and notifications regarding the end of an event and exiting the protected space. Starting on the first day of Passover, on every Shabbat and holiday, the “Silent Wave” will broadcast the guidance area on every preliminary guideline and end-of-event notification.:
Please note: During Operation “Roaring Lion”, you can also receive Radio Kol Chai and Kol BaRama in the Northern region:
Leave the radio device turned on to one of these frequencies to receive only instructions and alerts during Shabbat and holiday.
To find the name of the guidance area for your town – enter the site homepage and enter the name of your town into the box at the top of the page.
National Emergency Portal
You can connect to the National Emergency Portal (this website) before Shabbat, approve the activation of voice alerts in the pop-up window on the homepage, then go to the “Alerts” tab and define your location. The computer must be left active during Shabbat (it is important to disable “Sleep Mode” in the computer settings so the screen remains on). If rocket or missile fire occurs in your defined area, an alert will be received via sound and an on-screen display.
Home Front Command App
If you have a smartphone—you can receive alerts on the Home Front Command app if a threat is posed to your location (location services must be enabled) as well as for 10 areas of interest of your choice. On iPhone—ensure the device is not on “Silent” mode. People with hearing disabilities can set the alert to a 10-second vibration (on Android—set this in the app’s settings page; on iPhone—set the vibration in the device’s system settings). Additionally, the alert can be received accompanied by the flashlight flickering.

This is How You Prepare for Shabbat in an Emergency
Using a few simple actions you can prepare for Shabbat in emergency situations, while following the Home Front Command guidelines and observing Shabbat
https://www.oref.org.il/eng/articles/haredim/rockets-missles/4400
The State of Israel is in the midst of a war in the south and in the north. During a war, even when there is a temporary respite, you are still in a time of emergency that does not stop on Shabbat, so people who observe Shabbat must prepare and make the necessary adjustments before Shabbat, by following a number of simple steps.
This preparation is important and essential to enable you to follow the Home Front Command guidelines in full, even during Shabbat, while keeping both life-saving guidelines and the Shabbat.
Receiving alerts during Shabbat:
To guarantee that you continue to receive alerts during Shabbat, you must connect before Shabbat to the Home Front Command’s means of alert.
Click here for information on receiving alerts on Shabbat and holidays.
Preparing the protected space before Shabbat
At this time, we must be prepared and have the protected space ready in case an alert is received. This is even more significant before Shabbat, to make sure the protected space can serve us as needed during Shabbat. Therefore, it is important to perform the following actions before Shabbat begins:
• Make sure the light in the protected space and on the way to it is switched on, so we can safely reach the protected room and avoid tripping in the room or on the way to it.
• Remove any Mukze items that may interfere with the arrival and stay in the protected space.
• Make sure that before Shabbat starts you leave some useful items in the protected room: bottles of water, a radio operating on the silent wave, a siddur, toys for the children, etc.
Spending the Shabbat away from home?
• Make sure you hosts have a protected space that is suitable for your needs and those of your family.
• Find out what is the time available to reach shelter in the location where you will be spending the Shabbat.
• Prepare the protected space in the place where you will be staying before Shabbat starts and according to guidelines.
Preparing for emergencies in Shul
On Shabbat and holidays, it is customary to go to Shul with the children and the women’s gallery is also fuller than on ordinary days. Therefore, it is important to know and remind the members of the family of the behavioral guidelines at the Shul.
Even outdoors, the Home Front Command guidelines save lives
Naturally, many families go on Shabbat with the children for walks in the neighborhood, to play in the park and visit extended family and friends. Therefore, it is important to know and to remind the children of the behavioral guidelines when receiving al alert on rocket and missile fire outdoors, according to the following:
• In a built-up area – enter a shelter or a stairwell in a nearby building for 10 minutes. Stay away from the entrance area.
• In an open area – lie on the ground and protect your head with your hands.
A special letter from the Chief Rabbis
When the Iron Swords War erupted, the Chief Rabbis, The Rishon Lezion Rabbi Izhak Yossef Shalita (שליט”א) and the Chief Rabbi, Rabbi David Lao Shalita (שליט”א), issued a letter with specific Halacha rulings for behavior in Shabbat during a war, along with Halachot referring to the behavior in time of war on normal days.
These are the main points in the letter:
1. You must follow all Home Front Command guidelines and recommendations to the letter. When the guideline is to remain at home, do not leave the home at all, even not to pray, say your prayers alone.
2. Pray only in Shuls that have protected space or are close to protected spaces. If an alert is received, go to the protected space immediately until the danger passes. People who are ill and walk slowly should pray in their homes, unless the Shul is in a shelter.
3. If you receive an alert during Amida, you must stop immediately and walk silently to the protected space, and then return and pray. If the delay was no more than five or six minutes, continue where you left off, if it was more than five or six minutes, start over from the beginning of Amida. If an alert is received in the middle of reading from the Torah, close the scroll immediately and place a cloth over it and then go to the protected space, even if the Torah is left unguarded. When you return, continue the reading where you left off.
4. In every Shul, leave a mobile phone that is switched on before Shabbat, so it can be used to call emergency services in case of need. A mobile phone can be kept in your pocket on vibration mode.
5. Those who have a licensed weapon, should carry the weapon also on Shabbat, even if you do not usually trust the Eruv. It is important to make sure that in every Shul there is at least one person who is armed. Walk with your weapon covered by your clothes.
6. Leave the radio on, tuned to the silent wave, to make sure you receive the Home Front alerts.
7. In all prayers, include the Avinu Malkenu prayer, including on Shabbat and Rosh Chodesh (omitting the “Katvenu” part and in Shabbat and Rosh Chodesh omitting Chatanu Lefanecha), when opening the Heichal, repeat 12 times “Leolam Hashem Dvarech Nitzav Bashamaim” and the Psalms 20, 100, 121, 230, 242 as well as the special prayer we issued for this time.
8. For matters relating to Tvila and Tahara, consult your local rabbis.
9. Simchas such as weddings, Briths and such like must be conducted according to the Home Front Command guidelines.
ויהי רצון שלא ישמע עוד שוד ושבר בגבולנו, ושב יעקב ושקט ושאנן ואין מחריד, ובא לציון גואל במהרה בימינו אמן.
Shabbat Shalom

Based on guidance from Dr. Yonit Schorr, a Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Jerusalem and former Clinical Research Psychologist at the Boston Veterans Hospital and National Center for PTSD, there are several ways to help yourself and your loved ones during stressful times. Emotions such as fear, anger, or feeling “numb” are normal reactions to stress, and sharing feelings can help reduce tension within families. The sound of sirens can naturally trigger panic, so modeling calm and explaining what is happening — especially to children — can help create a sense of security. It’s also important to listen without judgment, allowing both adults and children to express feelings and ask questions, even when there are no clear answers.
Families should try to limit exposure to anxiety-arousing media and focus only on reliable headlines, as repeated footage can increase distress, particularly for children. Keeping familiar routines, making time for simple comforting activities, and staying connected with others can help restore balance. As Dr. Schorr reminds us through the “oxygen mask” analogy, self-care is essential — rest when you can, exercise, eat nourishing meals, listen to music, take walks, call friends, and focus on what helps you stay physically and emotionally resilient.
NBN wishes you a safe and joyous Chag Purim!

Modi’in Illit family celebrates the birth of their 21st child
Modi’in Illit family celebrates the birth of their 21st child, all born as singletons. The eldest child is only 22, meaning the family has added nearly one child per year over two decades.
Israel National News / Published: 10March2026, 11:07 AM (GMT+2) / https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/423679
A well-known family in Modi’in Illit celebrated the birth of their 21st child yesterday (Monday) at Ma’ayanei HaYeshua Hospital in Bnei Brak.
The case is particularly unusual, as all 21 children were born as singletons, with no multiples among them.
According to the Haredi news channel HaPargod, the eldest child in the family is only 22 years old. This means that over just more than two decades, the family has welcomed nearly one child every year.
At present, all the children still live at home with their parents and are unmarried.
The family’s story has drawn significant attention in the neighborhood, mainly due to the sheer number of children and the fact that every birth was a singleton. Many local residents have already expressed willingness to assist the family with support and logistics during the early days following the birth.
While there have been a few reports in recent years of families with a similar number of children, those cases typically included multiple sets of twins. This family’s string of singleton births makes their case exceptionally rare.

🇮🇱 A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE FROM AN ISRAELI PILOT TO THE CHILDREN
An Israeli Air Force pilot recorded a message for children who may be sitting in protected rooms tonight.
“You’re not alone.
When I fly high above your homes, my entire mission is to protect you.
Maybe you’re in a shelter right now. Maybe it’s a little scary.
But there are thousands of us doing everything we can to keep you safe.
When I’m in the cockpit, I think about your smiles, your games, the hugs you give your parents.
Every time you go into the safe room on time, you’re part of our team. Our team of heroes.
If your heart is beating fast, take a deep breath. Hold your brother or sister’s hand. Listen to a song you love.
And think of me flying above you, guarding the sky like an invisible shield surrounding you.”
He ends with:
“You are not alone. You are loved. You are protected. And I am here for you, even when you can’t see me.”

Russia Says Iran Conflict ‘Not Our War’
By Thomas Grove
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia hadn’t received any official requests for aid from Iran and that Moscow had no intention of getting involved in the conflict, despite the close ties between the Kremlin and Tehran.
“It’s not our war,” he said on state television. “We’re seeing a constantly increasing number of countries that are being dragged into the conflict. We’re doing what corresponds to our interests.” Russia and Iran signed a strategic partnership last year and are united in trying to disrupt the U.S.-led order, but Moscow has largely stayed out of the conflict, publicly offering only support at the United Nations.

“Iran Says School Massacre” and the Media Repeats: How a Regime Claim Became a Viral Headline

How a Regime Claim Became a Viral Headline
Key Takeaways:
On Saturday, February 28, Israel and the U.S. launched a joint military operation against the Iranian regime, targeting senior leadership, including Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei, and military commanders. The operation has also seen a significant targeting of military infrastructure, including air defense systems, missile launchers, and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) command centers.
The Iranian regime, like its terrorist proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, has embedded its infrastructure within civilian locations. As protests broke out at the beginning of 2026, the movement of weapons and military equipment into protected civilian locations, such as schools and hospitals, was widely observed. This prompted Iranian civilians to take protective measures and warn one another of the dual use of protected spaces.

Tal Hagin-tweet-27January2026-Geolocation-Correction-Additional Info
When the IDF targeted an IRGC compound in Minab, southern Iran, Iran’s state broadcaster, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), immediately claimed that the U.S. had purposefully targeted the Shajareh Tayyebeh school full of young girls. Al Jazeera soon published the story, blaming Israel for the deaths of children.
HonestReporting-instagram-1March2026
The Western media, without questioning the credibility of the source, immediately reported on the strike and followed Al Jazeera’s lead by holding Israel responsible. In doing so, the media further amplified and legitimized claims from the same regime that has spent the past two months executing its own civilians in the streets protesting for freedom.
The same outlets that included a caveat about their inability to independently verify the number of protesters killed by the regime were the same ones that published and continuously updated alleged casualty figures without any verification other than a regime source. This is not to say that innocent civilians may not have died in the strike, but they were certainly not the target of Israel or the U.S. Moreover, a civilian building was purposefully exploited by the Iranian regime, putting civilians in immediate danger.

Analysis of the Strike
The school, reportedly intended to be for the children of military personnel, was built directly next to an IRGC naval base, according to anti-regime media. Independent geolocation analysts further indicated that the Shajareh Tayyebeh school was located in the same premises as the Sayyid al-Shohada barracks of the IRGC Navy’s Asef Brigade. While it remains unclear whether many civilians were present in the area at the time of the strike, witnesses have reported that the school was not targeted but rather the adjacent IRGC buildings, where missiles were reportedly being stored.
This information was, of course, omitted from IRIB’s reporting of the strike. As a result, when Western outlets covered the story, the school’s proximity to – and apparent integration with – an IRGC military complex was missing from the coverage.
Emily Schrader-tweet-F28ebruary2026-And now more proof
And now more proof: reviewing maps and satellite images shows that the girls’ school “Shajareh Tayebeh of the IRGC Navy Minab” is located adjacent to and within the compound of several buildings belonging to the IRGC; including the “Martyr Absalan Clinic” belonging to the Medical Command of the IRGC Navy and the “Seyyed al-Shohada Cultural Complex of the IRGC.”

The Iranian Embassy in Austria continued with the disinformation campaign on behalf of the regime, sharing a now-viral image on X of a backpack that reportedly belongs to one of the schoolgirls killed in the strike. However, research analysts have found the photo to be AI-generated, as a Google Gemini watermark was detected hidden in the image.

Tal Hagin-tweet-1March2026-The photo AI-generated
Adding to the uncertainty surrounding the already disputed casualty figures, basic questions remain unanswered, most notably who exactly was killed in the strike. As of the time of writing, The Telegraph reported 165 casualties, including 81 pupils, citing Iranian sources. That leaves 84 individuals not identified in the public breakdown. And given that the school was located within an IRGC compound, it is legitimate to ask whether any of the remaining casualties were affiliated with the regime, a distinction that has not been clarified.

The Minab school story is getting increasingly weird.
The latest claim is that 165 people were supposedly killed in the strike, yet only 81 are described as pupils – less than half of the total.
Which raises an obvious question: who were the 84 adults supposedly killed there?
Mark Zlochin-tweet-1March2026-story is getting increasingly weird
The disinformation does not stop at pro-regime sources. A widely-circulated photograph online purported to show a misfired IRGC missile that had fallen inside Iranian territory and struck the school, shifting the blame onto the Iranian regime. However, independent analysts found that the school was located more than 1,000 kilometers from where the photo was taken. They also show that the structure in the photograph faced a direction inconsistent with the alleged missile trajectory, making it unlikely that the image depicted the Shajareh Tayyebeh school.

Stinky-tweet-28February2026-image from Zanjan falsely used
The Iranian regime has taken a page out of Hamas’ notebook. For the past two and a half years, Hamas has made exaggerated and false claims, which the media repeatedly amplified before doing their own due diligence. Corrections, when they came, rarely traveled as far as the original headlines. That same cycle of rapid accusation, viral spread, and delayed scrutiny is now playing out in Iran.
The nature of war between Israel and the Iranian regime means that vast amounts of information are released in real time, often before facts can be fully verified. When reporting omits key context or relies heavily on regime-affiliated sources, narratives can solidify before the truth has a chance to catch up, leaving the public with a distorted understanding of events.
In a time of instantaneous reporting and with clear evidence that narratives are being deliberately shaped for strategic purposes, rigorous scrutiny by the media is essential to ensure the truth prevails.

Israel-Haters Furious Over Al-Aqsa Closure During Iran War
David Lange – 3March2026 – https://www.israellycool.com/2026/03/03/israel-haters-furious-over-al-aqsa-closure-during-iran-war/
Israel-haters are furious because it is a day ending in Y and Israel still exists. But also over something more specific: Israel closed al-Aqsa Mosque.
That’s right. Israel closed al-Aqsa Mosque because rockets have been raining down on Israel. There is no pretext – it are facts. The same emergency regulations apply to synagogues. To public events. To everyone – which has put a hell of a dampener on Purim this year, let me tell you!
Yet here we have the haters essentially complaining about the fact we are protecting Muslims – including the ones who hate us – essentially from themselves.
The same report inadvertently reinforces this by mentioning other occasions we closed the site:
What makes this complaint even more ridiculous? It was made even after this happened:
Israel is protecting the site from the very people who claim to be its “defenders” in Tehran. Not that these particular people we are protecting likely appreciate it. In fact, I suspect most, if not all, of them are praying for more rockets.

Jordan complains Al Aqsa is closed for the war. But the Kotel is closed, too.
The Jordanian Foreign Ministry issued a press release condemning Israel for closing Al Aqsa Mosque during the war, calling it ” a clear violation of international law and international humanitarian law.”
This is a lie. Even if you consider Israel to be an occupier of Jerusalem, it is responsible for to “ensure, as far as possible, public order and safety,” under international law as codified in the Hague Regulations article 43.
Arab media is falsely claiming that Israel has no restrictions on Jews in Jerusalem. Palestine Today says “Jerusalemites confirm that these measures are applied only to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, while life continues normally in the rest of the city, including markets and public areas.”
Again, a lie. Here is a screenshot of what the Kotel looks like today from its live camera.
kotel closed
Israel restricts all gatherings of more than 50 people unless they can easily reach a shelter quickly.
As much as the Jordanians and Palestinians pretend that Israel is discriminating against Muslims and Christians, the facts always show them to be liars.

UK has no defences to stop Iranian missiles and would be forced to rely on US and Europe to stop them as it’s revealed they can now hit London
By GLEN OWEN POLITICAL EDITOR
Published: 00:39 GMT, 22 March 2026 | Updated: 07:04 GMT, 22 March 2026 | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15668053/UK-defences-Iranian-missiles-rely-US-Europe-stop-London.html
Britain would be forced to rely on American missile defence systems stationed in Europe if Iran launched a rocket attack on the UK similar to the one attempted on Diego Garcia this weekend.
The warning came after Tehran fired two ballistic missiles on Friday night towards the base in the Indian Ocean, which is jointly operated by the US and the UK.
The island lies 2,360 miles from Iran, well beyond the 1,240 miles which was thought to be the outer limit of the regime’s reach.
It potentially puts Paris, 2,609 miles away, and even London – 2,750 miles – within Iran’s range if, as some strategists fear, the country uses its Simorgh space launch technology to extend its missile range. RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus is just 1,000 miles from Tehran.
And Israel warned last night that that Iran’s new missile can hit Europe.
IDF chief of staff, Lt Gen Eyal Zamir, in a video released on Saturday night. said: ‘Iran launched a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 4,000km towards an American target on the island of Diego Garcia.
‘The missiles were not intended to hit Israel. Their range reaches the capitals of Europe. Berlin, Paris and Rome are all within direct threat range.’ The IDF later added that London is also in range.
Steve Prest, a retired Royal Navy commodore, said: ‘Ballistic missiles are space rockets. They launch, they go really high up and they come down really fast. If you’ve got a space programme, you’ve got a ballistic missile programme.’
In a ballistic attack, defence experts say Britain would be forced to rely on American SM-3 defence systems stationed across Eastern Europe, or the Patriot missiles used by the Germans, to intercept rockets.
The attempted strike on Diego Garcia came as Sir Keir Starmer extended permission for the US to use British bases to launch attacks on the Strait of Hormuz to protect shipping from Iranian assaults.
Neither of the missiles fired at Diego Garcia hit their target, with one believed to have been shot down by a US warship’s SM-3 interceptor and the other failing in flight.
Diego Garcia-Khorramshahr-4 missile
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch accused Sir Keir of covering up the attempted attack on Diego Garcia, saying the Prime Minister needed to ‘come clean’ over the details of the launch.
Government sources confirmed the attack happened before an official statement later said it had allowed the US military to launch strikes on Iran from the island base to help to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This came as:
The Prime Minister spoke to Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides and made a commitment that RAF Akrotiri would not be involved in his agreement with Mr Trump on the use of British bases in the war.
This comes after Mr Christodoulides warned last week that when the war finishes, he will demand negotiations about the future of Britain’s ‘colonial’ military bases on the island.
General Sir Richard Barrons, a former Commander in Chief of British forces, said on Saturday that Iran’s power may have been ‘serially underestimated’.
General Sir Richard, who headed the UK’s Joint Forces Command between 2013 and 2016, said it was previously thought that ‘Iran’s missiles had a range of only 2,000 kilometres [1,240 miles] and Diego Garcia is 3,800 kilometres [2,360 miles] away from Iran’.
He was responding to questions over whether Mr Trump was right to say Britain had done ‘too little and too late’ or whether opponents of the war were correct that the UK had been sucked into an American war.
Meanwhile, vegetable prices could rise within weeks as the cost of fertiliser and energy surges, said National Farmers Union president Tom Bradshaw.
He said Britain no longer had the ability to make fertiliser domestically and was ‘absolutely at the mercy of world markets’.
The Middle East is a key supplier of ingredients used to make fertiliser. Most of these pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked by Iran, causing prices to spiral as farmers scramble to buy limited supplies as spring planting season looming.
Prices of imported goods are likely to rise immediately because of higher transport costs, said Mr Bradshaw, adding that increases for other foods would begin to appear in coming weeks.
He added: ‘For vegetables grown in heated greenhouses, such as cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes, it will be over the next month to six weeks that we will see those cost increases coming through to the retailer.’

UAE dismantles Hezbollah-Iran terror network
UAE authorities dismantle a Hezbollah-Iran backed terror network, citing money laundering and national security threats.
Israel National News / Published: 20March2026, 3:23 AM (GMT+2) https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/424272
Authorities in the United Arab Emirates announced on Thursday the dismantling of a terrorist network which they said was funded and operated by Hezbollah and Iran, Reuters reported.
The network was reportedly involved in money laundering, financing terrorism, and posing a threat to national security.
According to the UAE state news agency, the arrested members of the network were working under the guise of a commercial enterprise, aiming to infiltrate the national economy and destabilize the country’s financial stability.
There has been no immediate response from either Hezbollah or Iran regarding the claims.
The UAE has been a key target in Iran’s ongoing missile and drone attacks since the US-Israel war on Iran began in late February. Emirati officials have confirmed that hundreds of strikes have targeted the country, damaging vital infrastructure such as oil facilities, ports, and regions near major urban centers.
Thursday’s announcement comes a day after Kuwait announced the second set of arrests this week involving a group of 10 Kuwaiti nationals allegedly linked to the Hezbollah terrorist organization.
According to the Ministry of Interior, the group had planned to target vital facilities in Kuwait as part of a larger plot aimed at destabilizing the Gulf state.
The suspects, who had trained in camps abroad linked to Hezbollah, are accused of coordinating with external operatives to gather coordinates of key sites in Kuwait. The ministry confirmed that the suspects provided detailed confessions following their arrests.
This announcement comes after the earlier arrests this week of 14 Kuwaiti nationals and two Lebanese citizens, who were also linked to Hezbollah. These individuals were allegedly involved in efforts to undermine the stability of the country.

Mossad Commentary-tweet-31March2026-France turns on Israel, puts it’s own citizens at risk
🚨 FRANCE TURNS ON ISRAEL, PUTS ITS OWN CITIZENS AT RISK
Israel has had enough of French stupidity.
After defense restrictions, exhibition bans, and backing an arms embargo at the UN, Jerusalem is now reportedly cutting off defense procurement from France.
All this comes at a time when countries around the world are lining up after seeing the effectiveness of Israeli defense systems.
France is moving in the opposite direction.
At the very moment Europe faces growing threats — from Russia externally and instability internally — Paris is choosing to distance itself from one of the few countries actively confronting those same dangers.
Instead of strengthening cooperation in defense and intelligence, it is creating distance.
That has consequences. Less on Israel, more on the safety and security of the French people.
Israel will not fund or rely on partners whose policies undermine its security while it is actively at war.
This marks more than a policy shift.
It signals a new phase in Israel’s relationship with parts of Europe.
A message not just to France, but to others:
Israel is not a doormat.

IDF begins ground operation in Lebanon
IDF forces take up forward positions in Lebanese territory, aiming to provide additional layer of security for residents of northern Israel.
Yoni Kempinski / 3March2026, 9:25 AM (GMT+2) / https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/423289
IDF forces have crossed the border into Lebanon to take “forward offensive” positions in southern Lebanese territory.
The forces are operating in southern Lebanon and took control of multiple position in order to create an additional layer of security for residents of northern Israel.
“In parallel to IDF activity as part of Operation ‘Roaring Lion’, IDF soldiers are operating in southern Lebanon and are positioned at several points near the border area as part of an enhanced forward defense posture,” the IDF announced Tuesday morning.
“The IDF is working to create an additional layer of security for residents of northern Israel. The IDF is conducting targeted strikes against Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in order to remove threats and prevent infiltration attempts into Israeli territory.
“The Hezbollah terrorist organization chose to attack Israel on behalf of the Iranian regime, and it will bear the consequences of its actions. The IDF will not allow harm to Israeli civilians, and will continue to act to defend the State of Israel and its citizens.”
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz commented, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have authorized the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to advance and take control of additional strategic positions in Lebanon in order to prevent attacks on Israeli border communities.”
“The IDF continues to operate forcefully against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The terrorist organization is paying, and will continue to pay, a heavy price for firing at Israel.
“To prevent the possibility of direct fire targeting Israeli communities, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have authorized the IDF to advance and secure additional strategic areas in Lebanon, and from there to defend the border communities.
“We promised security for the communities of the Galilee, and that is what we will deliver,” he concluded.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Hezbollah terror group launched 15 rockets towards the Golan Heights and five to the Upper Galilee, as well as two UAVs which were intercepted over the Western Galilee.

Security official: Half of the Missiles from Iran had cluster warheads
A security source reveals that about half of the missiles launched from Iran since the beginning of the war had a cluster warhead.
Israel National News / Published: 10March2026, 5:01 PM (GMT+2) / https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/423698
remains of an Iranian missile-Spokesperson
A security official revealed that about half of the missiles launched from Iran since the beginning of the war carried a cluster-type warhead.
According to the official, these warheads are particularly dangerous. “This is a bomb that can cause extensive damage. Following the safety instructions is critical. It is not hundreds of kilograms of explosives concentrated in one place, but rather spreads across an area of roughly 10 kilometers, which requires a great deal of responsibility from civilians. It kills. Interception debris from regular missiles as well as from large missiles is lethal,” the official said.
Military sources noted that the launches from Iran in recent days have been aimed at population centers, military bases, and national infrastructure, and that the regime in Tehran seeks to harm as many civilians as possible.
According to them, at the moment, it does not appear that Hezbollah and Iran are scheduling and coordinating their attacks against Israel. They noted that the assessments are that Iran is firing small volleys – and would have been interested in coordinating larger, coordinated volleys from several locations across the country at the same time – but is not succeeding in doing so.
