Those guys davening and fighting are the true Jews. Hashem should protect them and all of the IDF in their merit.
Those guys davening and fighting are the true Jews.
Huh ???????
Why continue fighting with these catastrophic results? is it ever possible to finish off the millions of blood hating Arabs?
Can we please have an updated list for tehilim? Can we know the names of the critically wounded? There appears to have been mistakes in the previous list, so can this be corrected?
Thanks.
Was there a ceasefire at 9:11 this morning? No update since then
Why is it that The United States whom recognizes Hamas as a terrorist organization would try to convince Israel of a ceasefire. They should help eradicate them. Should Israel tell the US they shouldn’t fight the ISIS in Iraq?
Yet, no it is not humanly possible to finish, off and at this point,( it is practically most followers of Islam) it is in the billions around the world. We have to start putting complete trust in Hashem, NOT rely on the U.S. government, don’t even take their money, because, once we do, we are forced to listen to them. Taking U.S. money is lack of bitachon in Hashem. DAVEN,DAVEN,DAVEN!! This is not the time say, “oh, it is said, please pass the ketchup” I was listening to a Rabbi Speak, and he said, show Hamas no mercy. They should be killed immediately, not put in a air conditioned places with TV. Living better, then they did back in their houses. They are coming to kill us, they say it constantly. Kill them immediately, no trial. Yes, we have to pray, but we also have to act. Hashem told us, to kill first those who come to kill you. What does Israel do? They hold those guilty, with jewish blood on their hands, and release them, only to have them continue their murderous ways. No mercy on the cruel.
Hey yet!
Have you ever asked a parent for something and the parent said NO?
Does that mean the parent dislikes you? Absolutely not!
We daven to haShem and He accepts our teffilos unconditionally. He does good always whether or not we comprehend it! These catastrophic results hurt but the blessing that we may not wish to recognize is still ever present! Did you ever stop to think how many nissim He has performed? Even the hamas rep. reported to an interviewer when asked about the aim of their rockets,”What are we to do if their G-d changes the direction of our missiles while in mid-air!”
Palestinians: Ceasefire talks failing because of the rearrests of terrorists released in Shalit deal.
Israelis: Ceasefire talks failing because of the constant barrage of rocketfire from Gaza
#3- Over the past 70 years we have only seen the threats against us diminish: early 1940s – holocaust, late 1940s – war of independence, 1967 – six day war, 1973 – yom kippur war, 1980s – Lebanon, now – an operation in Gaza. At the same time the Jewish population in Israel has grown tenfold and more to over 6,000,000 k”y and the Israeli economy has evolved from a smattering of agriculture and tourism to one of the world’s hi-tech powerhouses. If you consider this to be “catastrophic results” I can only assume that you are Satmar/NK.
Obama is such a hypocrite. The Americans led the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In Afghanistan is is estimated that as at February 2014, more than 21,000 Afghans were killed in the conflict. In Iraq there are more than 133,000 individually recorded civilian deaths since the 2003 invasion of Iraq due to direct war related violence. The US led the coalitions in both countries. Obama, what is so rich about Palestinian Arabs blood that you are so bothered about a few hundred? Oh and was it the case that the US coalition countries were directly threatened by terrorists digging under their borders as Israel is?
Can we make
Pls Hashem I hope Oron Shaul is nowhere near Hamas thats the last thing we need
Please everybody just keep learning/davening for our dear boys in the tzahal and everybody in eretz yisroel- Hashem works miracles every moment and let us ask for miracles – how about a little earthquake that would close up all the tunnels…let everybody see that Ain Od Milvado !!!!
“It is added that so much food has been brought to the hospital for the wounded that the patients and staff simply cannot eat any more.”
Mi k’amcha yisroel!
There will be a big mission were a soilder called her mom and said they dont think they will return please pray asap
french FM to Israel “stop the massacre and attacks”
you know corkscrews were made in france, when you push down the head the “arms” go up like its surrendering
response to frances “stop the massacres and attacks” we are trying to stop them by killing hamas
They should not fix the electric even when there is no risk. They r the enemy let them figure out their own solution for their problems. Maybe they wont have so much time to think about killing jews
FAA bans US flights to Israel.
It’s called putting “the squeeze” on Israel.
France FM to Israel: Stop the ‘massacres and attacks.
Oh so typical of the French pigs. They have muslim animals in their country which they do nothing about, which is why they run around like the animals they truly are.
Perhaps Frenchy should stand in the middle of the street of Ashdod, Be’er Sheva, etc and see what he does when the rockets come flying. Oh, the caveat is that he CANNOT enter a bomb shelter.
French mamzer weasel!
