Dear Joe,

Regarding your letter to the Park Slope Food Coop below.  Addressing the following:

Re: The hateful remarks of the PSFC member

“We can’t keep making the same mistakes between we did with the Nazis and what we did with other hateful, racist groups. Jewish supremacism is a problem in this country, and we will move forward as a country with or without this Coop.”

My response:

“We can’t keep making the same mistakes between what we did with the Nazis and what we did with other hateful, racist groups. Jew Hatred is a problem in this country, and we will move forward as a country with or without this Coop.”

Re: the response of the General Manager of the Park Slope  food coop in response to the hate statement at their membership meeting.

"The Park Slope Food Coop does not tolerate hatred or discrimination of any kind. Antisemitism is no exception."

My Response:

The Park Slope Food Coop tolerates and feeds Hatred and anti Semitism in their Membership meeting, in their newsletters and various committees..

----

Re:

"Separately, another member’s comments during the meeting included the phrase “Arab supremacy” within a statement referencing the events of October 7th, 2023 and the Muslim Brotherhood. Again, assigning supremacist characteristics to entire groups, whether based on religion, ethnicity, or identity, contributes to division and can leave members feeling targeted or unwelcome. Anti-Arab sentiment, like antisemitism, has no place at the Coop."

My Response:

This is a war between Good and Evil. The Muslim Brotherhood is Evil. Their hate ideology and Supremacy "education" led to October 7th basically a massacre, Genocide. They are the Nazis of our generation.

The PSFC needs to choose Good over Evil and not sit on the fence.

Giving Evil a safe space is feeding Evil. 

Over the years the PSFC has consistently given Evil a safe platform to their 17,000 members.

Unless such evil is totally eradicated in the PSFC with Zero Tolerance, the PSFC is to be held accountable. Boycotted and Shamed.

No discourse can be allowed that gives a platform of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas supporters, perpetrators of October 7th, today's Islamist Nazis.

Give a platform only to support those that support Good and that means supporting Israel. 

Every member has a choice. They can stay with the PSFC which as of now nourishes evil and gives a safe forum to the Muslim Brotherhood and Genocide and by doing so chooses to feed Evil or they can leave and boycott the PSFC  and choose to support the side of Good and support businesses that support all kinds of Israeli products and specifically organic products from Judea and Samaria the ancient and Biblical heartland of the Nation of Israel.

And You Shall Choose Life.

End of discussion.

Subject: 🥕 PSFC: Message from the General Manager: Concerns following the April 28th General Meeting

Dear Members,

I’m writing to address disturbing remarks that were made at the Park Slope Food Coop’s April 28th, 2026 General Meeting.

During the discussion related to boycott voting procedures, a member made the following statement: “We can’t keep making the same mistakes between we did with the Nazis and what we did with other hateful, racist groups. Jewish supremacism is a problem in this country, and we will move forward as a country with or without this Coop.”

Unfortunately, a notable number of attendees applauded this remark. Members shared, both during the meeting and after, how deeply hurtful this was. The combination of the statement, which is unacceptable and antisemitic, and the applause, which signals acceptance of language that has no place at the Coop, not only hurt our community but attributes harmful, false characteristics to an entire group of people and reflects widely recognized antisemitic tropes.

The Park Slope Food Coop does not tolerate hatred or discrimination of any kind. Antisemitism is no exception.

Separately, another member’s comments during the meeting included the phrase “Arab supremacy” within a statement referencing the events of October 7th, 2023 and the Muslim Brotherhood. Again, assigning supremacist characteristics to entire groups, whether based on religion, ethnicity, or identity, contributes to division and can leave members feeling targeted or unwelcome. Anti-Arab sentiment, like antisemitism, has no place at the Coop.

The Coop has always been a place for open discussion, including difficult and strongly held views across deep divides, but that discussion must remain grounded in civil discourse. In these instances, that standard was not met and represents a concerning escalation in the rhetoric at these meetings.

The member who made the antisemitic statement is being formally investigated through the Coop’s dispute resolution process. Other statements are under review and will be addressed in line with those same standards.

We are also taking steps to strengthen how these meetings are facilitated. We are working with the Chair Committee, which facilitates our General Meetings, to review protocols and pursue additional training and tools to better manage these increasingly challenging meetings.

More broadly, there is something I need the entire membership to know.

Conflicts much bigger than the Coop are playing out in General Meetings, putting real strain on our governance and on the Coop as a whole. This is concerning and something we should all be paying close attention to.

I’ll be direct: the Coop needs you to participate.

Many of you don’t attend General Meetings. You have told me you stay away because they feel tense, combative, or unproductive. This is understandable especially for members whose identities feel threatened—but it also means fewer voices are present.

When attendance is low, well-organized participation by any side of an issue can have an outsized impact, creating a gap between meeting decisions and the sentiment of the membership as a whole. Over time, that gap can affect the Coop’s long-term health and stability. When more members attend, the discourse changes, the discussion widens, and the outcomes better represent the Coop. We’re at our strongest when the widest range of voices are present and heard.

Our governance model is open—any member can bring an agenda item for a vote. That’s part of what makes the Coop special, but it also means the usual guardrails found in other organizations only comes from the membership itself.

There is so much to be proud of at the Coop and so much that members value. We provide living wages and strong benefits to staff; we make great food accessible to all who participate; we direct millions of dollars to small farms and small businesses, to name just a few. Together, we show there is a better way to do business.

Both that work and the ability for all members to participate without feeling targeted are worth protecting. But that requires your involvement.

I am asking as many of you who can to attend upcoming General Meetings. I am also asking you to spread the word to fellow members about the importance of their participation.

General Meetings take place at 7pm on the last Tuesday of every month and can now be attended virtually, making it easier than ever for more members to participate. Sign-up is available here:

https://members.foodcoop.com/services/gm/

I hope to see many of you there.

Thank you,
Joe Szladek
General Manager


Additional Information

The Coop is offering facilitated conversations led by two members who are experienced mediators, to discuss how recent conflicts, including boycott discussions, are impacting members. These moderated spaces are open to all members and support respectful dialogue. More information can be found here:

https://www.foodcoop.com/facilitated-conversation/

If you have experienced discrimination or harassment at the Coop, you can file a complaint with the Dispute Resolution Committee at foodcoopdrc@gmail.com. I am also available to hear your concerns. We are committed to ensuring everyone feels safe and respected.

Lastly, the April 28th meeting was recorded and shared outside the Coop. This violates Coop policy and raises serious concerns about digital privacy and participation. Anyone found recording or sharing meetings without authorization will be referred to the Dispute Resolution Committee. We are reviewing procedures and technology to better protect member privacy.

     

Avi Abelow Pulse of Israel: They Ignored the Land Grab. Now They Blame Jews Fighting Back.

Bsd

https://pulseofisrael.com/2026/05/03/jews-strike-back-elites-livid/?

A New Generation Defending Our Land Securing Our Future. Illegal Takeover Funded by the PA and EU

Channel 13 in Israel recently aired a report portraying Bedouin being pushed off their land due to so-called “settler violence,” presented by journalist Baruchi Kara alongside several former senior IDF generals and intelligence chiefs, including Tamir Pardo. 

But this was not journalism. It is narrative warfare against the Jewish people. And it is dangerous.

Because beneath the reporting about “settler violence” and Bedouin encampments, lies a far more consequential story, one that the media is not telling.

When I served in the IDF in the 1990s, I spent significant time on Golani bases in the Jordan Valley. I know that terrain intimately, running up and down those hills for miles. And I can state clearly: the hills were empty. Not “Bedouin-owned.” No Bedouin encampments at all. Empty.

Over the years, that reality changed, not organically, not legally, but systematically. One hill at a time was seized and settled by Bedouin encampments. This was not random. It was part of a strategic plan driven by the Palestinian Authority, with backing, funding, and political cover from the European Union and European governments. 

The objective is simple: to create irreversible facts on the ground that will carve out a de facto Palestinian state deep inside Israel’s strategic depth, by encouraging Bedouin families to grab land all across the empty areas.

While the channel 13 media report is framing this as a humanitarian story, it is not. It is a geopolitical operation to steal Israeli land and de-facto create a Palestinian State.

And that brings us to the so-called “hilltop youth.”

They are not the story being told. They are the response.

These young Jews are moving onto strategic areas, land that is Israeli state land, illegally grabbed by Bedouin as part of the EU supported Palestinian Authority plan to take away our land, and they are reestablishing a Jewish presence there. Not as an act of rebellion, but as an act of defense.

But here is the uncomfortable truth that the report completely ignores:

These young people are stepping in because the system failed.

Because when the very same senior officials featured in that program were in positions of authority, in the military, in intelligence, in decision-making roles, they did nothing to stop the illegal seizure of land by the Palestinian Authority and its European backers. They watched it happen. They allowed it to develop. And over time, those illegal outposts became entrenched “facts on the ground.”

And now, after years of inaction that enabled this strategic erosion, they turn around and condemn the only people actively pushing back.

A new generation of young Jews, forged in the aftermath of October 7th and deeply disillusioned by the failures of the very security and legal systems meant to protect them, refuses to sit quietly. They are stepping in to do what should have been done all along: to defend the land and, by extension, the Jewish people.

And here’s the part that truly exposes the narrative.

In the report itself, the journalist criticizes Smotrich and the government for providing funding and rangers to these hilltop youth.

Why?

Because even the government understands what others refuse to admit: these young pioneers are operating in the very space where senior security officials and legal authorities have chosen not to act.

The report, and words of the former senior defense officials, is not just hypocrisy. It is an abdication of responsibility.

Because what we are seeing today is the natural consequence of that failure: when the state does not protect its own strategic land, individuals step in to do what the system would not.

And whether one is comfortable with that reality or not, it does not change the core issue: control of land in Judea and Samaria is not theoretical. It is the front line of Israel’s long-term security.

Anyone who understands geography, security doctrine, and the lessons of October 7th knows the truth: a hostile entity taking over Judea and Samaria, and in extension is a direct threat to every Israeli, from the Jordan Valley to Tel Aviv, from the Negev to the Galilee.

Yet in that televised tour, something deeply revealing happened.

These former heads of Israel’s military and intelligence establishment, the very people entrusted with protecting the state and its citizens, spoke about these areas as if they naturally belong to the Bedouin. As if those of us who ran up and down those barren hills in the Jordan Valley don't remember that just 30 years ago there were no Bedouin encampments on those hills. As if the past decades of illegal Bedouin encroachment never happened. As if the coordinated effort by the Palestinian Authority and Europe to reshape the map of Judea and Samaria simply does not exist.

Even more disturbing, they framed fellow Jews, the hilltop youth, as the threat.

They warned that the “next October 7th” could come because of them.

Think about that.

Instead of identifying the jihadi forces that openly seek Israel’s destruction, instead of confronting the strategic land grab that endangers our borders and our future, these former Israeli security officials turn against fellow Jews. They have chosen to see the Jews rebuilding presence on critical land as the problem.

This is not just a disagreement. This is a collapse of strategic clarity.

It is the same conceptual failure we have seen before, the belief that if we reinterpret reality, if we ignore the deeper threat, we can manage the conflict without confronting it.

Reality doesn’t work that way.

And the gap is now undeniable.

Between a generation still trapped in failed conceptions, and a generation that understands we have no other land.

Between those who have forgotten who the enemy is, and those who refuse to make that mistake again.

Between those who dream of Israel becoming “like all other nations,” and those who understand the unique responsibility of Jewish sovereignty in our homeland.

And this is why every Israeli must understand what is really at stake.

When the hilltop youth are demonized, people establishing a Jewish presence on lands being taken illegally by our enemies, with their own hands, continuing the legacy of Jewish pioneers, it is not just a personal attack.

It is an attack on the very people standing on the front lines of Israel’s future, protecting every single Israeli citizen.

When the hilltop pioneers are targeted, it is not about law enforcement. It is about delegitimizing the only forces actively countering a strategic land grab that threatens all of us.

Weakening them does not strengthen Israel.

It weakens the backbone of our national resilience.

We will not apologize.

Not for building.

Not for holding onto our ancestral land.

Not for pushing off squatters.

Not for recognizing the reality that others chose to ignore when they had the power to act.

We will continue to build.

We will continue to hold the land.

And we will continue to defend the future of the Jewish people, with clarity, with strength, and without illusions.

Thank God we have a new generation. Still not enough in senior positions within the IDF, intelligence services or legal system, but the tide is turning. 

Strengthen your faith. We still have plenty of ups and downs ahead, but the trajectory is clear.

Am Yisrael!!!

*לוחם מילואים נעצר בידי משטרת מחוז ש"י והשב"כ בחשד שירה והרג ערבי באירוע בו ערבים תקפו יהודים סמוך לחווה בגוש שילה לפני מספר שבועות.*

הלוחם נמצא במעצר שב"כ תחת צו דרקוני וחריג של איסור מפגש עם עורך דינו. בית המשפט דחה את בקשת המשטרה והשב"כ להארכת מעצר של 12 ימים והאריך את המעצר ביומיים.

עו"ד נתי רום המייצג הלוחם מטעם ארגון חוננו מסר: "כואב לראות לוחם במילואים שהמדינה עושה שימוש כנגדו בכלים הכי חריגים שמשמשים כנגד אויבינו - בשעת מלחמה זה כואב שבעתיים".

יש לציין כי בדיון היום בבימ"ש נחשף כי המחבל שנהרג הוא לפי החשד פעיל חמאס אשר היה מעורב בעברו בלינץ' בנערים יהודים שעשו טיול בר מצווה סמוך ליישוב מגדלים והותקפו בצורה קשה.

הלוחם, כבן 25, תושב השומרון, לחם בעזה כלוחם בגדוד דוכיפת, שימש כקשר סמ"פ, עשה מאות ימי מילואים, בוגר מכינה קדם צבאית. ערר שהגישו בארגון חוננו כנגד הצו החריג המונע מפגש עם עו"ד נדחה. בשלב זה הצו מונע מלוחם המילואים לפגוש בעו"ד עד היום בלילה.

*A reserve soldier was arrested by the Shiloh District Police and the Shin Bet on suspicion of shooting and killing an Arab in an incident in which Arabs attacked Jews near a farm in Gush Shiloh several weeks ago.*

The soldier is in Shin Bet custody under a draconian and exceptional order prohibiting him from meeting with his lawyer. The court rejected the police and Shin Bet's request for a 12-day extension of detention and extended the detention by two days.

Attorney Nati Rom, who represents the soldier on behalf of the Honenu organization, said: "It hurts to see a reserve soldier against whom the state uses the most extraordinary tools used against our enemies - in times of war it hurts doubly."

It should be noted that in today's hearing in court it was revealed that the terrorist who was killed is suspected of being a Hamas operative who was previously involved in a lynching of Jewish boys who were on a Bar Mitzvah trip near the settlement of Magdala and were severely attacked.

 The fighter, about 25 years old, a resident of Samaria, fought in Gaza as a fighter in the Duchifat Battalion, served as a company liaison officer, did hundreds of days of reserve duty, graduated from a pre-military preparatory school. An appeal filed by the Honenu organization against the exceptional order preventing a meeting with an attorney was rejected. At this stage, the order prevents the reserve fighter from meeting with an attorney until tonight.

Dear Rochel Sylvetsky and Arutz7 Editors,

Thank you for the clarification.

Rochel, you write regarding a small group of "lawless delinquent" Settler Youth:

"These kids do exist". Pray tell me..Who are these kids and what specifically are their crimes?  How can one accept this blanket statement as fact.  There is no clarity whether they are indeed violent and lawless delinquents and or whether there is more to the story?

Were they or their herd or propery ever threatened or attacked by enemy Arabs who clearly had evil intent, not interested in coexistance? If so were their attackers ever brought to justice or simply released? Were these "lawless" kids perhaps acting in self defense? Did they or their friends experience serious injury or death due to getting attacked by our outside enemies or even needlessly by our own law enforcement.  Were they attacked numerous times and unable to defend themselves and were they ever treated as the aggressor when they were the victims and attacked first?

Were they perhaps recruited or planted by Shabak or provoked to respond in order to catch them on camera to manufacture a false narrative of Settler Violence to serve a political agenda?

Are we really supposed to change their behavior or perhaps we should consider changing the circumstances that triggered such  "lawless" behavior.

The footnote on Jewish Terror did seem out of sync with the article. I didn't initially see the Regavim link until you pointed it out to me but I did appreciate the footnote.  It's not surprising the footnote was an editorial addition rather than coming from the author of the op ed Eliaz Cohen himself. 

 Eliaz Cohen misrepresents himself as a mainstream right wing Settler versed in Torah and Halacha coming from a mainstream Dati Leumi family.  He is actually progressive and leftist.

In the future, I suggest Arutz7 independently present the Settler side with clarity. For example, a clear statement like "Here is a link to the Regavim report—128 pages long addressing the false narrative of settler violence a modern day blood libel". This would provide readers with a balance and a better sense of the full story. 

Eliaz Cohen op ed author is ideologically at odds with the Settler Youth and libels them as "lawless delinquents'. That is logical based on his ideology. Yet he provides no clear evidence and examples in his Op Ed of such "lawless behavior".

Do we need to accept this assessment as a given? 

Fyi

A lesson from the Duma arson.

Shemittah Rediscovered: Duma Blood Libel calling Hilltop Youth Jewish Terrorists. Yesterday Tue. Jan 12, 2016 New York Times Print Edition, Front Page blurb to article on page A9, Front cover Forward January 15, 2016 

https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2016/01/duma-blood-libel-calling-hilltop-youth.html?m=1

As we saw from the Duma Arson blood libel, even suggesting that a small group of "delinquent" settlers exists, feeds a blood libel and a broader false narrative that then reflects badly globally on all Settlers and the community that raised and nurtured them. 

See above link. Here are some excerpts. Note Naftali Bennett op ed in the New York Times was published August 7th 2015 a mere week following the Duma arson when there was no real evidence that the perpetrators were Jewish other than the say so of Shabak and the Jewish Division of Terror. Until today there is no concrete evidence that the perpetrators were Jewish and there is good reason to believe they were Arab from a rival Duma clan. Unfortunately, the Arabs from  rival clans were never investigated since Hebrew Graffiti was found at the scene saying נקמה and יחי המלך🤔 as if only Jews can scribble graffiti.

The sad part is that fellow Jews are responsible for feeding this blood libel.  

Our enemies can invent a blood libel without us.  Do we really have to provide them the material?

Israel Faces New Brand of Terrorism, This Time From Young Settlers

By ISABEL KERSHNER  http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/12/world/middleeast/revolt-network-foments-new-brand-of-jewish-terror-in-israel.html?smid=tw-share 

Please note the photograph below that accompanied the New York Times article page A9. It is basically a photograph, taken in a Beis Medrash,  with Jewish youth with Peyos and Tefillin,  learning. 

The article states "These kids are the latest manifestation of Jewish terrorists, part of a terrorist network, charged with grave crimes".  

A blood libel doesn't happen in a vacuum. Please note the escalations of how this story developed.  In August 7, 2015,  Naftali Bennett's wrote an OP Ed article for the New York Times (why did Bennett have to publish accusations that were never proven, against the hilltop youth in an OP ED in the New York Times of all places????)  where he called these Jewish terrorists a small minority fringe group.  Now in this printed article  of Jan 12, 2016 they morphed into  "a manifestation of Jewish terrorists part of a Jewish Terror Network"  and are not portrayed in this picture with straggly messy payis on a hilltop, as a fringe wild group but rather sitting nicely like Yeshiva students, learning in a typical Beis Medrash with large Yarmulkas and Tzitzis and Peyis and Seforim. Yet we are told they are Jewish terrorists.

Baseless condemnations on Jewish Settler Youth led to administrative detentions and the use of extraordinary measures, including torture, against innocent young people like Elisha Odess and Amiram Ben Uliel who was then convicted purlely based on self confession following torture and still languishing in jail today, over 10 years later. Most of the time he spent in jail was in  solitary, convicted of 3 life sentences.  

Defending these "lawless" delinquents asking hard questions is not putting our head in sand. Quite the opposite. It is taking our head out of the sand. 


Sincerely,

Robin Ticker

A strange, Aberrant Fire by Eliaz Cohen

On some of the hills in Judea and Samaria, there are those who wish to redeem the Land of Israel by lawless means. And we who love the land must stop them now. Opinion.

 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/425281

Arutz7 does a disservice with publishing Op Eds such articles putting a false narrative of "Violent Settlers" as perpetrators of lawless, random unjustified price tag attacks against Arabs without context when it is documented that these kids have been targeted and framed to create a false narrative of "Settler Violence".

There is a void of fair and balanced reporting of the triggers that justify responding in kind. 

While it is justified to fight our enemies be it Hamas, Hezbollah, Houti's, ISIS, etc in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran the reality in Judea and Samaria is different . It is apparently considered "lawless"  in Judea and Samaria to defend oneself and fight against the local Jihadist Arabs who threaten and are no different and share the same hatred as their brothers in arms on Israel's border

There have been numerous recent attacks against the Settlers and their flocks in Judea and Samaria by hostile Arabs with fatalities and close calls and they have defended themselves with and withoue the IDF involved only to be condemned and slandered as lawless.

Why Do We Succeed Against Our Enemies Abroad But Struggle to Protect at Home? By Avi Abelow

As Israel demonstrates extraordinary military capability against distant threats, whether striking targets in Iran or confronting Hezbollah in Lebanon, there is a troubling reality much closer to home. In Judea and Samaria, Jews continue to face repeated terror attacks, and too often, the response from the IDF feels inconsistent and insufficient.

Why is there such a gap?

Because, officially, in Judea and Samaria, there is no clearly defined enemy, only a population we are expected to coexist with.

Unfortunately, there is much hesitation, within public discourse, media narratives, and even elements of leadership, political and Rabbinic, to clearly define the whole jihadi population in Judea and Samaria who self-identity as "palestinians" as an enemy.

Without that clarity, security policy becomes reactive rather than strategic. Arab Muslim Parents in Judea and Samaria literally send their kids to schools that teach them to kill Jews and destroy Israel (yes, that is the official curriculum of the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA textbooks) yet official Israel, and our own organizational and Rabbinic leaders, still won't call the jihadi population in Judea and Samaria an enemy? Polls showed how they celebrated the Oct. 7th massacre, yet they are still defined as a population the IDF is supposed to allow for coexistence with and not as an enemy to be totally stopped?

Instead, we are fed headline news of "settler violence" where in most cases it is Jews who are punished for trying to stop the jihadis, as the IDF is not given the clear orders needed to act decisively and protect our lives.

Recent events highlight this problem.

Just a few days ago, near Efrat, a group of young pioneers established a new farm called Kochav Yehuda. Its purpose was simple and strategic: to connect Efrat to Tekoa and stop the ongoing Arab illegal land grab in the area.

For years, Arabs had been building illegally on that area. Finally, our youth decided to act and protect our communities. The Border Police were then sent in to evacuate the Jewish youth at Kochav Yehuda. As the evacuation took place, Arabs from the surrounding villages celebrated, cheering as Israeli forces removed Jews trying to stop their illegal takeover of the land.

Hours later, once the IDF and Border Police had left, those same Arabs turned around and stoned the Jewish residents.

This is the upside-down reality we are living with in Judea and Samaria.
The army is used to remove Jews from their ancestral land, while the real land-grabbers and terrorists are allowed to celebrate, and then attack with impunity.

Fortunately, no one was injured because an Efrat resident who was armed fired warning shots into the air and then toward one of the rock throwers, killing him, helping stop the mob attack. No arrests were made among those jihadis who carried out the assault, while the Jewish individual who acted to protect lives was taken into custody.

If that is not shocking enough, another incident just took place in the Shomron near the Arab village of Taasir, where the outcome was far more serious.

A Jewish teenager was critically wounded after a rock was thrown at his head at close range. A soldier at the scene acted quickly, neutralizing the attacker and likely saving the boy’s life.

These incidents did not occur in isolation.

Just over a week ago, the IDF Chief of Staff made an extremely bad move, removing Battalion 941 of Netzach Yehuda for "improperly" dealing with a CNN journalist who came to provoke the soldiers as they were dealing with the jihadi terrorists.

The enemy understood the message very well, our own soldiers did not have the backing of the Chief of Staff, so our jihadi enemy escalated their terror against the Jews in the area, and this youth  paid the price for it literally with his blood.

This raises a difficult but necessary question: what message is being communicated, to the Jews and to the jihadi terrorists carrying out the attacks?

In a region as volatile as this one, perceptions matter. When IDF responses appear inconsistent, punishing IDF soldiers, evacuating Jews from strategic points, while the terror of an enemy is not dealt with and definitely not deterred, that directly empowers our enemy to continue terrorizing us.

This is not simply a question of security tactics. It is about clarity, moral, strategic, and operational.

Israel has shown that it can act decisively when confronting the Islamic regime of Iran and its proxies in the region, clearly identifying them as enemies that must be stopped. 

So the question must be asked: when will Israel finally apply that same clarity and resolve to the Palestinian Authority, which pays salaries to terrorists in its jails, and to the jihadi population in Judea and Samaria that educates its children to murder us? They are an enemy that must be stopped. Period.

This enemy is not thousands of miles away in Tehran. They live right here, in our biblical heartland, living among us and threatening our lives every single day. Yet, they have yet to be defined as an emeny despite their daily efforts to kill us.

The self-identiying "palestinians" are modern-day Amalek, acting for decades with the exact same brutality as their biblical predecessors, deliberately targeting the young, the old, the innocent, and the defenseless.

It is not moral to refrain from calling them the enemy and to try to coexist with them, it is immoral. 

Because by refusing to name them for what they are, we enable the continuation of their terror, guaranteeing that more Jewish lives will be taken.

It’s time to protect our people from the jihadi Arabs who live next to us with the same determination we show against distant threats.

Without clarity in finally identitying the whole jihadi population of self-identifying "palestinans" who support killing Jews and destroying Israel, as an enemy, there can be no consistent IDF policy.

And without consistency and moral clarity, despite the important work our soldiers are doing in Judea and Samaria, and I'm one of those soldiers, the army from the top will continue its confusing and self-defeating activities in Judea and Samaria, actions that repeatedly empower our jihadi enemies, embolden them to keep terrorizing us, and ultimately cost more Jewish lives.

We cannot defeat an enemy we refuse to name and whose ideology we are afraid to confront.

I’m not worried about the rebuilding of Kochav Yehuda and the other outposts and farms in Judea and Samaria.

Thanks to the unbelievable strength and resilience of our younger generation, they will keep returning to rebuild, despite the constant terror threats from the surrounding jihadi population and even after being repeatedly evacuated by the IDF. They will continue strengthening our strategic presence to protect Jewish communities across the biblical heartland, and they will succeed in creating that vital corridor connecting Efrat to Tekoa.

The real problem is: How many more Jews will be terrorized, wounded, or murdered in the process because our political, Rabbinic and military leaders still refuse to treat the jihadi population who self-identity as "palestinians" in Judea and Samaria, Gaza and the Palestinian Authority that pays them and educates them, as the enemy they truly are?

It is up to us to start naming them as an enemy to bring about the change to protect our lives. Jihadi Muslims who support killing Jews and destroying the state of Israel are an enemy. And then, we implement Trump's emigration plan...

Arutz7, Please Publish Avi Abelow in Defense of the Settlers Rather Than Publishing Op Eds from Leftists masquerading as a Right Wing Settler.

Why Do We Succeed Against Our Enemies Abroad But Struggle to Protect at Home? By Avi Abelow 

Avi's article is a good Oped choice as is the Son of Hamas.  Let me compare their posts with the one Arutz7 chose as an Oped.

אל המקום אשר...

Oy Vey. Why did Arutz7  publish this article both in Hebrew and English by Eliaz Cohen a leftist pushing Coexisting with Palestinians while slandering Settler Youth as lawless?

Re: National News Opeds

A strange, Aberrant Fire by Eliaz Cohen

On some of the hills in Judea and Samaria, there are those who wish to redeem the Land of Israel by lawless means. And we who love the land must stop them now. Opinion.

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/425281

Arutz7 does a disservice with publishing Op Eds such as this piece pushing a false narrative of "Settler Violence"  portraying Settler albeit a fringe group as the perpetrators, lawless, committing random unjustified price tag attacks against Arabs without context.  It has been documented that these kids have been either attacked, provoked, and or framed in order to create a false narrative of "Settler Violence" for a greater global political agenda.

There is a void of fair and balanced reporting of the triggers that justify Settlers responding in kind and situations as well where there is a fabrication of Settler Violence. 

While it is justified to fight our enemies be it Hamas, Hezbollah,  ISIS, Houti etc in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran the reality in Judea and Samaria is different . It is apparently considered "lawless"  in Judea and Samaria to defend oneself and fight against the local Jihadist Arabs who threaten and who are no different and share the same hatred as their brothers in arms on Israel's border

There have been numerous recent attacks against the Settlers and their flocks in Judea and Samaria by hostile Arabs with fatalities and close calls and they have defended themselves with and without the IDF intervention only to be condemned and slandered as lawless.

Time for Arutz7 to really stand up for Jewish Settlement in our Biblical homeland. Son of Hamas and  Avi Abelow should be given an OpEd on Arutz7.

Son of Hamas should be given a platform on Arutz7 as well.

Why Do We Succeed Against Our Enemies Abroad But Struggle to Protect at Home? By Avi Abelow

As Israel demonstrates extraordinary military capability against distant threats, whether striking targets in Iran or confronting Hezbollah in Lebanon, there is a troubling reality much closer to home. In Judea and Samaria, Jews continue to face repeated terror attacks, and too often, the response from the IDF feels inconsistent and insufficient.

Why is there such a gap?

Because, officially, in Judea and Samaria, there is no clearly defined enemy, only a population we are expected to coexist with.

Unfortunately, there is much hesitation, within public discourse, media narratives, and even elements of leadership, political and Rabbinic, to clearly define the whole jihadi population in Judea and Samaria who self-identity as "palestinians" as an enemy.

Without that clarity, security policy becomes reactive rather than strategic. Arab Muslim Parents in Judea and Samaria literally send their kids to schools that teach them to kill Jews and destroy Israel (yes, that is the official curriculum of the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA textbooks) yet official Israel, and our own organizational and Rabbinic leaders, still won't call the jihadi population in Judea and Samaria an enemy? Polls showed how they celebrated the Oct. 7th massacre, yet they are still defined as a population the IDF is supposed to allow for coexistence with and not as an enemy to be totally stopped?

Instead, we are fed headline news of "settler violence" where in most cases it is Jews who are punished for trying to stop the jihadis, as the IDF is not given the clear orders needed to act decisively and protect our lives.

Recent events highlight this problem.

Just a few days ago, near Efrat, a group of young pioneers established a new farm called Kochav Yehuda. Its purpose was simple and strategic: to connect Efrat to Tekoa and stop the ongoing Arab illegal land grab in the area.

For years, Arabs had been building illegally on that area. Finally, our youth decided to act and protect our communities. The Border Police were then sent in to evacuate the Jewish youth at Kochav Yehuda. As the evacuation took place, Arabs from the surrounding villages celebrated, cheering as Israeli forces removed Jews trying to stop their illegal takeover of the land.

Hours later, once the IDF and Border Police had left, those same Arabs turned around and stoned the Jewish residents.

This is the upside-down reality we are living with in Judea and Samaria.
The army is used to remove Jews from their ancestral land, while the real land-grabbers and terrorists are allowed to celebrate, and then attack with impunity.

Fortunately, no one was injured because an Efrat resident who was armed fired warning shots into the air and then toward one of the rock throwers, killing him, helping stop the mob attack. No arrests were made among those jihadis who carried out the assault, while the Jewish individual who acted to protect lives was taken into custody.

If that is not shocking enough, another incident just took place in the Shomron near the Arab village of Taasir, where the outcome was far more serious.

A Jewish teenager was critically wounded after a rock was thrown at his head at close range. A soldier at the scene acted quickly, neutralizing the attacker and likely saving the boy’s life.

These incidents did not occur in isolation.

Just over a week ago, the IDF Chief of Staff made an extremely bad move, removing Battalion 941 of Netzach Yehuda for "improperly" dealing with a CNN journalist who came to provoke the soldiers as they were dealing with the jihadi terrorists.

The enemy understood the message very well, our own soldiers did not have the backing of the Chief of Staff, so our jihadi enemy escalated their terror against the Jews in the area, and this youth  paid the price for it literally with his blood.

This raises a difficult but necessary question: what message is being communicated, to the Jews and to the jihadi terrorists carrying out the attacks?

In a region as volatile as this one, perceptions matter. When IDF responses appear inconsistent, punishing IDF soldiers, evacuating Jews from strategic points, while the terror of an enemy is not dealt with and definitely not deterred, that directly empowers our enemy to continue terrorizing us.

This is not simply a question of security tactics. It is about clarity, moral, strategic, and operational.

Israel has shown that it can act decisively when confronting the Islamic regime of Iran and its proxies in the region, clearly identifying them as enemies that must be stopped. 

So the question must be asked: when will Israel finally apply that same clarity and resolve to the Palestinian Authority, which pays salaries to terrorists in its jails, and to the jihadi population in Judea and Samaria that educates its children to murder us? They are an enemy that must be stopped. Period.

This enemy is not thousands of miles away in Tehran. They live right here, in our biblical heartland, living among us and threatening our lives every single day. Yet, they have yet to be defined as an emeny despite their daily efforts to kill us.

The self-identiying "palestinians" are modern-day Amalek, acting for decades with the exact same brutality as their biblical predecessors, deliberately targeting the young, the old, the innocent, and the defenseless.

It is not moral to refrain from calling them the enemy and to try to coexist with them, it is immoral. 

Because by refusing to name them for what they are, we enable the continuation of their terror, guaranteeing that more Jewish lives will be taken.

It’s time to protect our people from the jihadi Arabs who live next to us with the same determination we show against distant threats.

Without clarity in finally identitying the whole jihadi population of self-identifying "palestinans" who support killing Jews and destroying Israel, as an enemy, there can be no consistent IDF policy.

And without consistency and moral clarity, despite the important work our soldiers are doing in Judea and Samaria, and I'm one of those soldiers, the army from the top will continue its confusing and self-defeating activities in Judea and Samaria, actions that repeatedly empower our jihadi enemies, embolden them to keep terrorizing us, and ultimately cost more Jewish lives.
