I saw the phrase “Hamas led”, in reference to the massacre on Oct. 7, 2023. And it made me pause, and wonder, how many people demanding you protect “civilians” in Palestinian, understand that those “civilians” followed Hamas into Israel and gleefully committed horrific crimes against humanity.
I am sad the men and women of the IDF must fight under these conditions. The soldiers of the IDF care about humanity and are fighting to find the hostages and secure the nation of Israel. Hostages who are citizens of not only Israel, but from many countries. The IDF bears the weight for all of us. I pray Israel will be safe as soon as possible. I pray the world will wake up and see the evil seeping, pouring, corroding the minds of people who do not think for themselves. I pray for healing for everyone touched by this evil.
I believe the IDF fights for all the children of the world, for if Hamas is not defeated, no one will be safe anywhere. Terrorists breed like cockroaches. They must be defeated now.
"Terrorists breed like cockroaches." That is exactly how Islam grows today. Women of the civilized world should reconsider their life goals. Raising a large family of common sense and logic is the highest calling.
I agree. I have 5, educated, civic minded living children, and numerous grandchildren. It would be great if the civilized world once again considered large families a precious gift.
I visited a close friend over the weekend and we talked about the war. Whilst she condoned the actions of Hamas on 7th October she believed a ceasefire was necessary to prevent civilian deaths. When I explained to her that Hamas have repeatedly stated that they would do the same thing again she changed her view, she said she wasn't aware that they have said this. I know you bring this up in your media interviews but definitely needs repeating, it can change people's view on the issue. She also wasn't aware of the extent of the sexual violence perpetrated, i have sent her the Times article.
Let your friend read the frontpage of hamas website. It says all about them. Beware of the horrible pictures, just scroll down to the text about their main goals.
Most press articles are based on personal opinions. IDF is a reliable source. International press are leading opinions and their interests are financial.
Why should a thriving country (Israel) have to sacrifice its people on a regular basis because someone wants to destroy it? Why is the world not outraged at this? Why should countries (of the free world nonetheless) want to be held hostage by an ideology because they are afraid of violence and terror on their own territory? What is wrong with everyone?!?! This ideology is like an entitled brat raised by rich parents/relatives - give him whatever he asks for to keep him quiet because otherwise he will throw a tantrum and become aggressive? A good spank is sometimes well deserved and necessary no matter what everyone else say!
Thank you for posts Richard. I permit myself to write a comment here since I do not wish to participate on social media channels. As far as I know you are the only person I could address to.
Here are some observations about the Israel - Gaza war issue and the motivations behind it.
These observations are based on information from reliable sources.
(Facts: IDF.il, hamas com. Impressions of human behavior: News channels worldwide, X, blogs, social media).
I do not wish to express opinions, but I NEED to express the danger that threatens humanity - all humanity on this world. Shalom.
This war is not only about the Palestinian problem. It's about Hamas provoking this war to start massive Jihad strategie. Involving and manipulating governments and public opinion on a global scale.
We notice people demonstrating for the "Palestinian cause". Are they unaware of the fact that they are directly supporting Hamas's goals ? These are clearly described on Hamas website - publicly accessible in Arab and English language in most democratic countries.
People seem unaware that ALL democratic systems ARE NEXT on Hamas's program. Not just Jewish people.
This war is not only between Israel and Hamas.
It's about protecting the world against MASSIVE INVASION from WITHIN EACH democratic country by executing... JIHAD.
Be it Hamas, ISIS, DAESH.. they're all fighting JIHAD ! The current war is provoked and used for that main goal. Globally.
It's clearly written on their website. It's the first hand source of pictures and videos of the crimes admitted on October 7 are proudly shown - to be shared. With numbers of death, wounded, abductees and rocket launching on that day.
Most important for this comment, their GOALS AND STRATEGIES.
I copied the text from their frontpage on their website :
Islamic Primacy
Islamic law should supersede ALL democratic systems
Takfir Doctrine
The whole world should adopt Islam, with NON-MUSLIMS being viewed as INFIDELS and TARGETS FOR ASSASSINATION
Coordinated Leadership
Establishment synchronized power structures GLOBALLY
Stealthy Propagation
Establish Social programs to DISCREETLY SPREAD THE IDEOLOGY without attracting unwanted attention.
FOLLOWING :
Hamas's Presence and Activities in Different Countries
Stage 1
Spread through SOCIAL ACTIVITIES, often MASKING as Movements and CHARITABLE ENTITIES
Stage 2
Da’wah: Non-Muslims to embrace Islam Through DECEPTIVE Narratives of Compassion and SOCIETAL Unity
Stage 3
Engage in local politics with the objective of INFLUENCING DECISION-MAKING at the National level
Stage 4
Using Military Tactics, Obtaining Weapons, and USING VIOLENCE to achieve the MOVEMENT’S GOALS and interests
Stage 5
Overthrow SECULAR governments and establish a new government based on Strict Adherence To The Islamic Law, and the EXECUTION OR ENSLAVEMENT OF NON MUSLIMS
So far the for the hamas website.
Who will be willing to listen, read and ACT against this evil threat ?
Any suggestions ? I live in France but I haven't found a governmental organization to talk to yet.
For whoever is interested, I managed to write to The General Secretariat for Defence and National Security (SGDSN) in France and the organisation who's screening cyberspace for terrorist activity.
I love how Israel is fighting this war, but I love how Israel is taking care of her troops more. A “dedicated center” for possibly mentally affected soldiers is just another example of foresight and loving consideration Israel has become known for. The trauma of loosing loved ones is simply horrendous.
Thank you for these updates. As I read these updates I think this is a humane, rational, moral army. Regarding the IDF Instagram account, it is filled with Indonesians?/Malaysians? who have the mental capacity of a three year old and I kind of wish that the comments were limited.
I get it but still don't like it. They should shut off the comments. Israelis don't need to see 12000 demented comments, pictures of soldiers in diapers. It's despicable

Your newsletters are very informative and very well written. Thank you for continuing to inform the world of the TRUTH, LtCol Hecht!

Courage. Shalom.
Should say ‘condemned’ above not condoned
BTW it's not about right or wrong. It's about facts.
"It's about Cause and Consequences" (said by Mosab Hassan Yousef during his speech to the UN).
Why should a thriving country (Israel) have to sacrifice its people on a regular basis because someone wants to destroy it? Why is the world not outraged at this? Why should countries (of the free world nonetheless) want to be held hostage by an ideology because they are afraid of violence and terror on their own territory? What is wrong with everyone?!?!

I'd like to be drafted

Hello,
I love how Israel is fighting this war, but I love how Israel is taking care of her troops more. A “dedicated center” for possibly mentally affected soldiers is just another example of foresight and loving consideration Israel has become known for. The trauma of loosing loved ones is simply horrendous.
Thank you,
Excellent insights! I am very impressed by the bravery, loyalty, and military volunteerism of the Israelis.
I am astounded by the intricate care taken by Israel in every aspect of this war.
Congratulations to the IDF ground forces in discovering and neutralizing the tunnels.
Thank you for the additional readings. They were very informative.
Continuing to pray for Israel.
Is there any recruitment to diaspora over the age of 60?
I want to help - is there financial support for aaliyah to serve?
Thank you so, so much -- you and every IDF family member (because all Israelis are my family) all you do.
I use your newsletters to post on Twitter. This has the link to the NY Post article. (Times/UK was paywalled.)

Instagram is merely a visual medium. Comments are often written by youngsters & kids. No limits.
Better check the IDF websites.
I get it but still don't like it. They should shut off the comments. Israelis don't need to see 12000 demented comments, pictures of soldiers in diapers. It's despicable
Thanks 🙏🏽
