Et Tu Huckabee, Defense Minister Israel Katz, Chief of General Staff IDF Eyal Zamir, Ambassador Leiter?... "Israeli Terrorists or Israeli Maccabees"????

"Settler Violence" vs real Palestinian Violence against Jewish Settlers:

'Settler arson' claim falls apart after police probe
Palestinian Arabs claim 'settlers' torched building with family inside, police investigators prove allegations utterly baseless.

Documenting Violent Palestinian Terrorism in Judea and Samaria
Terrorists from Kfar Malek last night placed a stone barrier and an explosive device on the access road to the Chesed LeAvrahom on Mount CHazor in Benjamin for the 4th time in 2 weeks.

Documenting Cruel Demolitions and Destruction against Jewish Settlers outposts by Israeli Security Forces!?! Why????

----
Jewish Settlers are  also called Mitnachalim.  מתנחלים of today are those who, ideologically, based on the Torah, try to inherit our Ancient Biblical Heartland as is Commanded in the H-ly Torah by Almighty  G-d to the Israelites through Moses. Israel under the leadership of Moses conquered parts of the East Bank of the Jordan River and  under Joshua, the Israeltes entered the Promised Land and conquered it.  

The  Oslo Accords of today is in defiance and contradiction with the Bible and actually redefine, G-d's Eternal delineated boundaries, as specified in the Torah.  

The Land Belongs to G-d as it says " כי לי כל הארץ".

Exodus  Shmot 19:5
שמות 19:5
 ה וְעַתָּ֗ה אִם־שָׁמ֤וֹעַ תִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ בְּקֹלִ֔י וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֖ם אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֑י 
וִֽהְיִ֨יתֶם לִ֤י סְגֻלָּה֙ מִכָּל־הָ֣עַמִּ֔ים כִּי־לִ֖י כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ:

5 And now, if you obey Me and keep My covenant, you shall be to Me a treasure out of all peoples, for Mine is the entire earth.

 ו  וְאַתֶּ֧ם תִּֽהְיוּ־לִ֛י מַמְלֶ֥כֶת כֹּֽהֲנִ֖ים וְג֣וֹי קָד֑וֹשׁ אֵ֚לֶּה הַדְּבָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּדַבֵּ֖ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of princes and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the children of Israel.

Our Ancient Biblical Promised Land  was Promised to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as an Eternal Inheritance.

Our enemies are threatened by Settlers, the Mitnachalim,  because these present day Maccabees, are willing to sacrifice their own lives to observe the Commandment to  inherit our Ancient Biblical Homeland by shepherding sheep and farming the Land thereby reclaiming what is rightfully ours.

If Jewish Settlers  need to defend themselves against terror attacks, this is totally justified! Boots on the ground IDF soldiers take the side of the Mitnachalim! Many of the Golani Batallian Brigade 51 recently refused to act against the Settlers. 

Jews are Not the Enemy 

Unfortunately, International political intervention takes the side of Israel's enemies and applies political  pressure on the GOI (Government of Israel) and its Military Elite Leadership who then orders rules of engagement that actually  stops the Jewish people from reclaiming what is rightfully ours and prevents Israel from keeping the Land we conquered fair and square in War after Israel was brutally attacked by evil forces.

Updated: August 16

Re: Mike Huckabee's posts on X

“Expel the Israeli terrorists from the village of Qusra; there is no justification for such acts.”

Huckabee later clarified that settlers are not the problem in Judea and Samaria, but rather that a very small minority is causing significant harm to Palestinian families and to Israel.

Been there done that... Another Duma Blood libel. No real investigation before a "few, minority, or also called fringe" group of Jewish Settlers are accused of "Settler Violence" or in this case labeled "Israeli Settler Terrorists". 

From past experience, all that is needed is to find one Jewish Scapegoat who is categorized as a Terrorist to create a false narrative. And when one can't be found, one is framed to advance the narrative of "Settler Violence".

Amiram Ben Uliel is a good example.

The latest slander and false narrative is about "Israeli Terrorists" beseiging the Arab village of Qusra which was even spread probably unintentional but nevertheless sadly by our good friend Ambassador Mike Huckabee. 

Tal Yinon Dardik is another very recent example of a Settler scapegoat. He and his family have a farm and is a shepherd in area B. He was placed under Administrative Detention by Central Command General Bluth with no crime nor actual charges and evidence of any wrongdoing. No due process. He is treated as a dangerous criminal with absolutely no evidence of any kind. He went on a hunger strike. Israel Katz Minister of Defense agrees that the administrative detention orders were illegal yet allows Bluth to continue to administer Illegal Detention orders by forbidding Tal Yinon Dardik from entering Judea and Samaria and go back home and from going back to his sheep and farm. 

Why can't Minister Katz enforce his own ruling and override Bluth? Probably he is under tremendous pressure from the US to keep this false narrative of "Settler Violence" alive and to keep Oslo alive. After all, they need "statistics" of  "dangerous Settlers" to feed the media.

The top leadership in the IDF are compromised by political considerations rather than security considerations. Israel Katz, Minister of Defense took the side of the Palestinian terrorists in Qusra overreacting to these shepherds trying to create a shady spot for their flock because Palestinians with American citizenship with criminal records of their own called in the complaint. Mike Huckabee is under pressure of the current Trump Administration and it's team led by Jared Kushner and Witkoff. He unfortunately had the back of the  IDF as they sent an an IDF Elite Golani unit to suppress these "Violent Settlers" and evacuate them and demolish their homes. The Golani soldiers themselves, to their credit, refused to carry out this obscene order.  They enlisted in the IDF to fight the enemy. Not to fight their fellow Jewish  brothers in arms. 

Ambassador Mike Huckabee realizes  his mistake, perhaps when he sees the way it was reported. He retracts from calling the "Israeli Terrorists" but still holds on to the false narrative of  "small minority causing significant harm to Palestinian families" without justification. Please read links below that give a totally different side of the story.

Perhaps IDF generals, when accused of false accusations of genocide, should reflect on their own false accusations and treatment of innocent Jewish Hilltop Settlers as terrorists...😔

Elisha Yered: "Avi Blut, the settlement you grew up in is also illegal! So go evacuate it tomorrow morning??" IDF fighters as a policing force against Jews sparked harsh criticism within the battalion

G-d judges us measure for measure. Mida Keneged Midda.

So sadly, again, using similar techniques of the past, this is just another Blood Libel against Jewish Settlers in the making. 

Our astute enemies specifically choose  respected right wing useful agents like Ambassador Mike Huckabee, and pro right wing Settler Defense Minister Israel Katz and Ambassador Yechiel Leiter (see link below) to Divide and Conquer our people.  They pit "law abiding respected leaders of Jewish right wing Settlers " against their fellow  brothers, the Hilltop Settlers, who are then blood libeled as a "small minority group of 'Israeli Terrorists'". 

Whoever alligns with these "dangerous" Settlers will get marginalized and will get either shut down and/or deligitimized. Those who comply and do not to take the side of the Hilltop Settlers will be rewarded with something meaningful and worthwhile. 

It is not surprising that regional right wing Mayors in Judea and Samaria are Silent when the Hilltop Settlers, many in the IDF combat units, are persecuted, denied due process,  with little kids woken up, thrown out of their homes, seeing their homes demolished, with no warning  in a cruel fashion in the middle of the night. This is Taxation Without Representation on steroids!

This also explains why almost all the major mainstream Jewish media and right wing Jewish Organizations  are silent  regarding this terrible miscarriage of Justice and fail to present any reporting nor any real balanced reporting out of fear that they too will suffer a loss, somehow be penalized monetarily or otherwise and marginalized for taking the side of the Hilltop Settlers.

Let us explore the big picture: 

Why indeed is the false narrative of "Settler Violence" so key for our enemies so that Hilltop Settlers are constantly being blood libeled as "Israeli terrorists"?

The "crime" of these Jewish Settlers is that they are committed to the Bible's narrative and do not ideologically accept the Oslo Accords. They act on their principles and conviction with boots on the ground by shepherding and farming in Israel disregarding the Oslo framework...

Often these Settlers  are attacked.  Jews, with the backup of the IDF, defend themselves, are then filmed and depicted as the aggressors rather than the victims of threatening terror attacks. Such documentation is quickly forwarded to members in Congress who take the side of those who present a one sided, warped account of what actually happened.  See Regavim link below.                     

Also check out Avi Abelow's link  below as well as the YWN link of what's going on and what happened in Qusra  to get better context.

And Yes. In fact, Jews and Jewish Settlers have  very excellent valid reasons to reject the Oslo accords! Naomi Kahn of Regavim see link below  (Secret Takeover) claims that the PA themselves have rejected Oslo and has built 103,000 illegal Structures funded by the European Union in Area C!!! 

The media blows a single incident calling it "Settler Violence" totally out of proportion, without context,  thereby creating a Blood libel. This is not an isolated case.

The "Fringe" group of "Settler Terrorists" narrative soon easily morphs into an antiSemitic Narrative that the Jews are "Israeli Terrorists" and that the IDF is guilty of Genocide.   

Eventually this false slander, blood libel, backfires on those who enabled it even without any intention. 

Defense Minister Israel Katz and also Ambassador Huckabee can very likely be accused of being terrorists themselves and/or abetting Terrorism. 

After all Israel Katz is a Jew and an Israeli and supports Jewish Settlement and Ambassador Mike Huckabee  believes in the Bible and supports Jewish Settlement.

For the Enemies of Israel, G-d's Chosen People,  the G-d of Israel is the real Enemy. 

 The G-d of Israel and His Bible is the greatest threat and therefore the greatest threat to "Universal Peace" in the Middle East from their perspective.

So here is a warning to those who engage in such rhetoric albeit with the best of intentions.

History repeats itself and I refer you to  William R. Koenig's book Eye to Eye: The Consequences of Dividing Israel.  See link Below

This book documents many tragic events occuring following Israel being pressured to concede land.

Here is another example following the publication of this book. 

Deal of the Century officially going public January 28,2020

WHO officially declares Covid Global Emergency January 30, 2020

In January 2020, when President Trump announced the UAE Deal, the Abrahamic accords , the Deal of the century, it had an underlying, unspoken understanding of the formation of a Palestinian State.  Just 2 days later, January 30, 2020 a Global Pandemic was declared. The US economy  fell apart and the election that year was Stolen from President Trump. 

Happenstance? 

At this point in time, President Trump and the USA is looking very weak. He is flopping about the Iran Deal and the Strait of Hormuz.

Happenstance?

He is pressuring Israel with a "Board of Peace" which includes Turkey and Qatar the greatest backbone and funders of the Muslim Brotherhood, and pressuring Israel to a cease fire and accept Israels greatest enemies to be the gate keepers in Gaza.  Israel now must trust Ahmed al-Sharaa aka al-Julani, a terrorist and former member of ISIS and Al Qaida now dressed in a suit, and the President of Syria. Not to mention pressuring Israel to change the IDF  rules of engagement by tying the hands of the IDF in Lebanon against Hezbollah and against ISIS and Al Qaida in Syria and against Hamas in Gaza. 

New Details About The 50 Hamas Terrorists Near Border: “If This Isn’t a Threat, Then What Is?”
Commanders refused to authorize an attack. 
“If this isn’t a threat that we’re allowed to strike, then what is?” an officer who was present during the incident asked angrily in a conversation with Channel 12. We wanted to strike, and they wouldn’t authorize it. We feel that our hands are tied in the face of terrorists who are already sitting and planning the next massacre.”

So here is the warning COMING FROM THE Bible and from our Almighty G-d. This verse has often been quoted by our dear friend Ambassador Mike Huckabee

G-d's Covenant with Abraham 
Breishit Genesis 12:3

3 And I will Bless those who Bless you, and the one who curses you I will Curse, and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you."
 ג וַֽאֲבָֽרְכָה֙ מְבָ֣רֲכֶ֔יךָ וּמְקַלֶּלְךָ֖ אָאֹ֑ר וְנִבְרְכ֣וּ בְךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל מִשְׁפְּחֹ֥ת הָֽאֲדָמָֽה


So unless President Trump and his Administration supports G-d's Covenant with Israel which is that Israel is the Promised Land to the Nation of Israel, and understands that Israel has been commanded to keep G-d's Law in the Land, and to be a Nation of Priests and a H-ly Nation there is good reason  for concern and no need to elaborate.

Mike Huckabee's first obligation is to be an Ambassador to G-d. So yes, being the Ambassador of the United States means acting on behalf of the United States and not according to his personal preference, but he is still first and foremost G-d's Ambassador. And the biggest favor he can do to President Trump is to be loyal to G-d.

Background:

Mike Huckabee who is Israel's Ambassador of the United States is under tremendous pressure to create a narrative, albeit false, about "Settler Violence". Why? Because the US now under the Trump Administration wants to keep the Oslo Accords in tact. The Jewish Settlers, especially the ones on the Hilltops want to undo Oslo for excellent reasons.

The PA  under the umbrella of Oslo now has an "authorized" threatening trained armed within the heartland of Israel, within Judea and Samaria. The PA belief system and charter is no different than Hamas in Gaza. They are prepared and trained to perpetrate,  G-d forbid, another October 7 at a single Command in a moment's notice. 
 
The PA never really ratified the Oslo Accords because Arafat and the PA never recognized Israel as a Sovereign People with whom they truly wish to live in peace. Their Agenda remains "From the River to the Sea" and the destruction and Elimination of Israel.

Oslo Accords:
- the PLO is no longer designated as a terrorist organization yet have an armed and trained "security force" with Islamic Jihad intent
- PLO never changed their Jihadist education

Mike Huckabees remarks as reported in the news:

These reports are  Blood Libel on Jewish Settlers, who are labeled as "Israeli Terrorists" before any real investigation was conducted, based on lies coming from the Arab village, from those who happens to be an American citizen but supports FATAH and have records themselves of engaging in terror activity against Jews! If these news outlets would have investigated just a little, they would know that the crime of these Jewish Settlers were creating a shady area for their flocks within sight of the Arab's house. Is that Terrorism? Were they beseiging the Arab Village? No. What did the Jewish Settlers do that was criminal? The Fatah supporting Arabs, project  their own criminal intentions on Jewish Settlers. 

Unfortunately, Israel Ambassador Yechiel Leiter to the USA, was another useful agent to be critical of the Jewish Settlers by not accurately seeing their side, the full context from a Torah Perspective.  By his criticism of the Jewish Settlers, and putting them in a negative light Yechiel Leiter is encouraging the enforcement of the Oslo accords. The Oslo Accords is not NOT the Torah's way to Settle the Land!    

Mike Huckabee decries Israeli settler ‘terrorists’ over siege of West Bank home

U.S. Ambassador Huckabee Calls Settlers Besieging West Bank Palestinian Family 'Israeli Terrorists'
The U.S. ambassador said the embassy asked Israeli security forces to remove the settlers and called their actions against the Palestinian family 'criminal,' despite his long record of support for West Bank settlements

Amb. Leiter: “What we saw in the village of Qusra is not what it means to settle the land"

The following scenario presents the big picture unfolding BZ"H speedily soon! 

It all begins in the hearts and minds of the people.

The following article in English was written by Christopher Flannery, a Senior Fellow of the Claremont Institute and touches on the the very core that led to the American Revolution. 

How to Think About the American Revolution 

"As he (John Adams)  wrote to Hezekiah Niles on February 13, 1818, the American Revolution took place “in the Minds and Hearts of the People”—a “radical Change in the Principles, Opinions Sentiments and Affection of the People,” he wrote, “was the real American Revolution.”

The article above was published in honor of July 4, 2026.  John Quincy Adams ( The 6th President, son of John Adams, the 2nd President)  made the same point beautifully in one of his many great speeches. “Fellow citizens,” he said, after telling the biblical story of the children of Israel’s entry into the promised land, “the ark of your covenant is the Declaration of Independence.” All of their blessings, he went on to say, would come from adherence to the Declaration’s principles, and all of their curses would come from departure from those principles.

Israel Bzh is on its way to Becoming a Jewish State. 

A Jewish State was the Vision of The State of Israel's founding Father Theodore Herzl and Herzl 's Grandparents.

Urgent Alert: CIS " Commanders for Israel Security" A Danger to Israel

Bsd

אל המקום אשר...

Re: CIS "Commanders for Israel Security" Today's modern day Erev Rav. 

The Beis HaMikdash was destroyed because the Leaders at the time were passive. 

Authentic Jewish Leaders, please protest CIS dangerous influence within Israel and on the Trump Administration especially when Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with President Trump.

Erev Rav were the mix multitude that mixed foreign ideology into Israel's camp in the desert when the Israelites left Egypt. They caused the people to sin and Worship the Golden Calf. 

Here is just a sample of the vicious slant and libel of "Jewish Violence" or "Jewish Settler Terror Activity" CIS takes against Settlers in Judea and Samaria

"It is no secret that certain members of our current government (the Israel GOI) orchestrate much of this chaos, including by shielding their followers – who are armed and driven by messianic impulses"

This influential CIS Erev Rav supports the formation of a 2 State Solution and is trying to insinuate to President Trump that the Jewish Settlers are armed and violent and engaging in "Jewish Settler Terror Activity".  

The opposite is true. The Palestinian Authority and its Hamas supporters are right now  heavily armed and engaged in "Jihadist Terror Activity" threatening all Jews in Israel especially in Judea and Samaria to another October 7th Scenario Chas VeSholom, G-d Forbid. 

*"Regavim: Settler Violence": Is it real...or is it a way to get Jews discredited and even killed?*

 About CIS:  Source Grok

Around 600 current and former senior Israeli security and foreign policy figures—primarily members of the group Commanders for Israel’s Security (CIS; Hebrew: מפקדים למען ביטחון ישראל)—sent a letter to U.S. President Donald Trump (and figures close to him such as Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff) urging him to press Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hard on the situation in the West Bank (referred to by the group and many Israelis as Judea and Samaria)

Ynetnews
This occurred ahead of Netanyahu’s meeting with Trump (reports place the letter as sent around Sunday, July 26, 2026, with the meeting expected shortly after). The user’s headline frames the appeal as directed at Netanyahu to raise the issue with Trump; primary reporting indicates the letter was addressed mainly to Trump, calling on him to deliver a “firm and unequivocal message” 

Ynetnews
Who the ~600 people are
They are overwhelmingly
- retired high-ranking officials from Israel’s security establishment and foreign service, 
- not active-duty personnel. 

CIS describes itself as a movement of over 550 (sometimes cited near 600) 
- Retired IDF Colonels and Generals, 
- Senior equivalents from the Mossad, 
- Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), 
- Israel Police, 
- National Security Council, and 
- Diplomatic Corps.

Membership is limited to the top ranks because those roles provide exposure to strategic national-security issues.

CIS
Founded: 2014 as a non-partisan (though politically oriented) civil-society group.
Core stance: Securing Israel as a strong Democratic Jewish state.

CIS views separation from the Palestinians (leading toward a two-state solution in a regional framework) as essential for long-term security and warns against sliding into a one-state reality.

Members are volunteers who emphasize professional/strategic analysis over partisan politics.

Leadership: 
Chaired by 
- Maj. Gen. (ret.) Matan Vilnai (former IDF Deputy Chief of Staff, Deputy Defense Minister, Home Front Defense Minister, and ambassador to China). 

Other executive figures have included 
- Col. (ret.) Itamar Yaar and various former senior officers and diplomats.

CIS

Notable individuals associated with the group or mentioned in connection with this letter include former 
- Mossad director Danny Yatom 
- Former Shin Bet director Ami Ayalon. 

The group’s membership has historically included other prominent names such as 
- former Mossad directors, 
- Shin Bet heads, 
- IDF chiefs or 
- senior commanders, and 
- police commissioners (exact current signatories of this specific letter are not fully publicly listed in the reporting).

Ynetnews
CIS has previously issued letters and analyses on issues including 
- Gaza policy, 
- West Bank annexation steps, and 
- regional diplomacy,

often criticizing government policies it views as harmful to Israel’s long-term security or relations with the U.S. and regional partners.

Context of the letter

The letter describes rising settler violence against Palestinians and their property as “terrorism” (“Terror is terror is terror”) and warns that unchecked escalation—combined with policies seen as weakening the Palestinian Authority economically and otherwise—could produce consequences “even more catastrophic than the Hamas atrocities of October 7 and their multifront aftermath.” 

It argues this trajectory endangers Israeli security, U.S. regional interests, and stability; could 
- Derail Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan; and 
- Risks damaging or reversing gains from the Abraham Accords.

Ynetnews

Signatories claim Israel’s security agencies are effective against Palestinian terrorist groups but “severely constrained” against Jewish perpetrators, and they accuse certain members of the current government of orchestrating or enabling chaos by shielding armed, ideologically driven supporters. The appeal emphasizes that only Trump can force decisive action.

This fits a broader pattern of CIS advocacy and comes amid reported surges in West Bank violence (including arson, property attacks, and deadly clashes), Israeli government steps related to settlements/outposts and Palestinian Authority authority, and Netanyahu’s Washington visit.

 Reporting notes ongoing friction, IDF deployments, and differing assessments of the scale and drivers of the violence.

Timesofisrael
Sources for the details above include contemporary reporting from Ynetnews, The Times of Israel, and related outlets, along with CIS’s own descriptions of its membership and mission. The group’s website and prior public letters provide additional background on its composition and positions.

Re: An Atrocity Grows in Brooklyn Opinion by Sara Lehmann in JNS. My comments

An Atrocity Grows in Brooklyn
Who gave permission for a confined protest to turn into a menacing march?
May 18, 2026
Sara Lehmann

Thank you Sara! You are on the mark when you write
"Who gave permission for a confined protest to turn into a menacing march?"

My comments:

I too was on Ocean and L on that evening before 7pm with my husband. We were escorted to the Shul, we attended the event, and spoke to some vendors and then left.  I didn't really see the protesters yet close by but there were lots of police.  I returned later with  friends. This time I saw and heard the protesters.  We were escorted into the event.  The protesters  were down the block. We left after 9pm. They seemed to have disappeared around then and apparently marched through the neighborhood.... 

Were they marching around the neighborhood before 7pm as well?

The next day I saw offensive, intimidating hate videos that took place on residential streets nearby the event. 

A confined Free Palestine protest should never get a permit!...let alone be allowed to be a marching protest spewing hatred and threatening a community.

People should be protected under the law! However. these hate spewing protesters were and are protected to threaten a neighborhood, under the guise of freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

Under Mamdani how can we best respond?

Let's brainstorm. Jews should not be the ones intimidated.

Here are some suggestions:

  • On Shavuot, religious Jewish men should come out en  masse walking in the streets wearing their Tefillin.
  •  JDL types, Veteran IDF soldiers identifying with Kach or the IDF and Jewish Self Defense should have a noticeable presence
  • Everyone is encouraged to wear open expression of Jewish Israeli pride like a flag of Israel (Magen David), a flag of Judea and Samaria (Lion), a flag of Har HaBayit (Beit HaMildash), Return to Gush Katif, Tzahal paraphernalia...
  •  Young and old, can be educated and armed as best as possible and with knowledge on how to best respond given the circumstances in case they feel threatened.  This is especially relevant to anyone walking on the streets late on Shavuot night!
Perhaps there can be Rabbinic permission to carry cell phones if there is any reason to believe the streets might not be safe?  

I hope no Rav or political Askan suggests stay home for your protection!  Jews should come out en masse with Jewish Pride as usual this coming Shavuot night. We need to work with law enforcement but be prepared to do what is necessary to protect our community. Under Mamdani there is good reason not to rely on the NYC Police. Their hands might be tied and fail to deter intimidation and provocation by the Free Palestine protesters. They will probably try to keep us safe by discouraging any open display of Support for Israel.  They will say it's provoking and therefore dangerous.

Our enemies need to be fearful of walking around freely chanting Jew hatred and intimidation. 

Jews need to feel secure walking freely going to and from Synagogues.

When I was in Israel in November, I knew we were surrounded on all sides by evil but I felt safe because Chayalim and civilians with weapons were all over the place.
