Avi brings out 4 important voids that the Hilltop Maccabees are filling..
To Summarize:
1. The IDF is not doing its job by not deterring Arab terrorists
2. the Arabs are engaged in illegal strategic Land Grab and the GOI, Government of Israel, is not addressing it
3. US Citizenship in Arab villages is being used as a weapon against Israel with a well polished lobby in Congress to support Arab Terror and pushing for a Palestinian State and the GOI is playing along.
4. The GOI acts as if the PA is a "Partner in Peace" yet the PA has a trained army of over 60,000 ready to attack Israel, another October 7 waiting to happen Chas VeShalom, and this security force is given legitimacy under the Oslo Accords.
The Good News is that there are Hilltop Maccabees to the rescue!!!

Avi Abelow post on FB:
This weekend the jihadi village of Qusra was back in the news. The framing was familiar: Jews accused of violence. “Settler extremists.” The usual script. Again.
Remember, I spoke about this issue last week as well, calling out those who were despicably calling Jews “terrorists” for retaliating against jihadi evil.
Now let’s look even closer at what’s going on.
The jihadis attacked Jews, again. Then Jews retaliated, again. And the media blames Jews for violence, again. That sequence is not a detail. It is the whole story the media refuses to tell. And our leaders, even the governments spokesperson doesn’t tell.
And even that is not the real story. There are four bigger stories almost nobody is talking about.
#1. These young Jews are filling a vacuum the army left open.
Jewish retaliation in places like Qusra is not the first choice of a healthy nation. It is what happens when the IDF fails at its real job: making the enemy afraid to attack Jews in the first place.
Stop the attacks *before* they happen — because this is a jihadi population. The army does not do that. It steps in only after a terror attack, or when intelligence flags a specific planned attack. Too late, or too narrow. It ignores the central fact: the jihadi population of Judea and Samaria as a whole is the enemy, and it must be stopped and deterred before it attacks innocent Jews.
People hear “the strongest army in the Middle East” and assume the streets of jihadi towns in Judea and Samaria are filled with fear of that army. They are not. The restrictive rules of engagement taught the jihadi population in Judea and Samaria a different lesson. Attack Jews, and the IDF and Israeli government system will often treat the Jewish response as the scandal.
So no, it is not normal that ordinary Jews, including hilltop youth, should have to step in and make the enemy pay a price. That is the state’s job. Until the army treats the jihadi population as an enemy population and puts real deterrence into those villages, do not be shocked when Jews who live under fire refuse to be sitting ducks. They are reacting the way any normal person should act when the authorities and the army are dropping the ball.
#2. This is a war over land and the Palestinain authority has been winning it for 30 years.
There is a systematic struggle for empty land in Judea and Samaria, and there is a lot of empty land. The Palestinian Authority, backed by European Union money, has been spreading illegal construction throughout Judea and Samaria, including onto strategic mountain tops. For three decades the army largely watched.
Hilltop youth and young families have set up outposts and farms to stop this illegal land takeover to protect the Jewish population, because finally someone had to.
Returning to this specific incident, The house outside Qusra was not a random home. It was built specifically on a strategic mountain overlooking Jewish communities and the roads they travel. Leaving an illegally built outpost like that in place is not “coexistence.” It is a security failure. The Palestinian authority allowed the family to build the house there to terrorize the Jews below. Whoever holds that ridge holds eyes on all the Jewish life below.
#3. U.S. citizenship has become a weapon against Israel
The builder of that house has U.S. citizenship. His family has used that passport to pull in the U.S. embassy and the American government. This is a fairly new and very deliberate strategy: turn every local clash into an international incident, with US involvement, and squeeze Israeli policy in Judea and Samaria through pressure from Washington, even though Trump and US Akbassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, are very supportive of Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria.
Netanyahu’s official government response has been to issue public apologies about “the occurrences” instead of standing up and saying the truth out loud: jihadi violence, illegal jihadi building on strategic land that endangers Jewish lives, and the cynical abuse of U.S. citizenship to manipulate American policy.
Friends of Israel in America cannot defend us if our own leadership keeps feeding them the other side’s framing.
#4. The Palestinian Authority is not a peace partner. It is an army in waiting.
The Palestinian authority fields more than 60,000 armed, militarily trained men, trained by U.S. military experts. That is not a municipal police force. That is a standing threat, trained, paid, and positioned for the day they decide to invade Israeli communities and attempt an October 7 on a far larger scale.
Hamas sent a few thousand armed jihadis across the fence on October 7. The PA force is more than 60,000!
And Israel still performs on the world stage as if the Palestinian Authority is a “partner for peace.” That is a huge mistake. Partners for peace do not build an army next to Jewish towns while teaching the next massacre as destiny.
The only way Israelis will be safe from this threat is if Israel stops pretending. Announce to the world that the Palestinian Authority is an enemy. Disarm and dismantle its army and police force before they attack, and expel all the jihadist, not after they attack. Waiting for the first strike, after October 7, is not caution. It is denial that is a death sentence for many Jews.
Qusra is not a story about a few angry young Jews on a hill.
It is a story about an army that will not deter, a land war we refuse to name, a foreign-passport strategy we apologize for instead of exposing, and a 60,000-man force we still treat as a diplomatic prop.
The headlines will keep blaming Jews.
The reality is that Jews are reacting to a vacuum created by leaders who still will not call the enemy the enemy.
Until that changes, the hills will keep filling with the people willing to hold them.
And that is the good news.
After three decades of the disastrous Oslo peace plan that has endangered our lives, we finally have a generation willing to put their own lives on the line in the hills of Judea and Samaria, filling in for an army that has been neutered from its purpose: protecting Jewish life.
These youth and young families live alone on hilltops. They shepherd sheep and goats on barren land. They are attacked constantly by our jihadi neighbors. None of that gets reported in the news. Regardless, They do not run. More and more of them keep coming, and more hilltops keep filling. It is unbelievable.
Unfortunately, we see how the political and Jewish leadership around the world does not back them. Instead they are being thrown them under the bus, as if they are the problem. The good news, this young generation does not care.
That is the beautiful thing. We have a generation that has woken up. They are doing what the Jewish people are meant to do: bring goodness and holiness to God’s holy land, and stop the spread of jihadi evil, even when our own leaders and army, despite all the good they do, still fall short.
Hopefully soon the authorities and the army will finally act as they are supposed to act, so these hilltop youth and young families can live normal lives, knowing the army is finally actually deterring an enemy jihadi population so that all of our lives can be safe.
We are not there yet. That is frustrating. But every day we are getting closer.
Stick with me at the pulse of Israel for the true, full story.
Strengthen your faith.
Am Yisrael chai!!!
