“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14
Dear friends,
Today, when the Holocaust Memorial siren was sounding, I heard some neighbors running to the bomb shelter by instinct, we are a nation in trauma, fighting for our survival while commemorating the memory of our perished brothers and sisters. Next week we will commemorate Yom HaZikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day) and also Israel’s Independence Day which is exactly the day after.
But today I have dramatic updates for you!
Syria
Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa, a former jihadist, says he wants peace with Israel. He wants to join the Abraham Accords. Two U.S. Republican congressmen sat with him face to face. He said he’s open to peace — but with conditions. Of course. Always conditions. His condition is that we hand over the Golan Heights. That’s not happening. The Golan makes up 5% of Israel’s already tiny territory, but it is 100% non-negotiable. It’s a critical military and strategic high ground — Israel won’t give it up, not now, not ever.
The Golan protects northern Israel from Iran-backed terror militias and gives us a direct view into southern Syria. Giving it away would be national suicide. Sharaa may have swapped his jihadi robe for a suit, but Israel isn’t stupid. I don’t trust him.
Iran
Iran is back at the negotiating table, pushing for a nuclear deal — again. President Trump says talks are going well, but the Iranian regime is stalling, lying, and aiming at enriching uranium at dangerous levels, and we can’t fool ourselves, they don’t enrich uranium because they want to end all wars, they enrich uranium because they want the war of wars.
Let’s be honest: They don’t want peace; they want leverage. They’re bleeding economically and desperate for sanctions relief, but they refuse to stop their terror export business.
Iran is terrified of Trump’s unpredictability and strength. That’s exactly how it should be. This is how peace is won — through strength, not begging.
Antisemitism
Europe is on fire with antisemitism — and the world pretends it’s nothing. In the Netherlands, antisemitic incidents hit a 40-year high. Jews hunted down in the streets of Amsterdam for supporting Israel. Mezuzahs torn down. Cemeteries desecrated. Jews make up just 0.3% of the Dutch population — yet we’re 37% of hate-crime victims.
This isn’t about “Israel-Palestine.” It’s about pure Jew-hatred. Again. History is repeating itself, and the world is yawning.
And still, governments shrug and say “education” is enough. It’s not. This is a crisis, and crisis means action. Ban the hate groups. Cut off funding to institutions that promote hate. Make antisemitism a career-ending crime — because that’s how you fight evil.
Gaza and Hostage Deal
Let’s talk about Gaza. Israel is fighting a terror army that uses babies as shields and hospitals as command centers. Every day, IDF soldiers risk their lives to protect Israeli civilians — and yes, Palestinian civilians too. Moments ago, the IDF announced that another IDF soldier fell in battles in northern Gaza.
Our heroes are fighting street by street, dismantling terror tunnels, working to bring our hostages home, becuase Hamas is using them as bargaining chips. We are not the bad guys. Hamas is hoarding aid, torturing its own people, and still holding innocent Israeli hostages. The world can scream “ceasefire” all it wants — but there is no ceasefire until the hostages come home and Hamas is in pieces.
ICC
For once, the International Criminal Court did something right. It overturned a biased lower court ruling and gave Israel a chance to defend itself in court. This isn’t a victory — it’s just a breather. But it’s a reminder: the world will always try to drag Israel through the mud.
Our crime? Surviving. Defending ourselves. Existing. We won’t apologize. We’ll fight in court, we’ll fight in the media, we’ll fight on the battlefield — because history has shown what happens when Jews stay silent.
Israel is surrounded by enemies, smeared by cowards, and defended by heroes. And we will not back down.
Show your support — stand with Israel.
