The army identified them as Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23; Ori Danino, 25; Eden Yerushalmi, 24; Almog Sarusi, 27; and Alexander Lobanov, 33; all of whom were abducted from a music festival during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The sixth, Carmel Gat, 40, was abducted from the nearby farming community of Be’eri.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military spokesperson, said Sunday that “they were cruelly murdered shortly before we were to rescue them.”

Hashem Yinakaim Damam
Biden is the worst President in the history of the US. The founding fathers would be ashamed of him. They tried to create a country that defends the minorities. All that he has done in his entire nightmare was to make sure that the gazans have enough food to fatten themselves..

Biden/Harris are still pushing for Israel to ceasefire and let Hamas survive. They pay lip service to wanting Hamas gone but their actions belie their words. Since Oct. 7, Biden/Hartis have not once called on Hamas to release the hostages and surrender, instead they call for Israel to ceasefire essentially blaming them for the gaza casualties all while spewing hamas casualty numbers.

HY’D

Remember: Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis are all funded by Iran. To which the Biden Administration gave billions. And there is every reason to believe that Harris will do the same.

If you want to fund those who spill Jewish blood, vote Harris.

Trump, for all his flaws, imposed sanctions on Iran and starved it of cash.

Trump may be a menuval. But as between a menuval who tries to starve those who would kill Jews, and a nice guy who gives billions to those who kill Jews, I’ll go with the menuval.

It really is that simple.

BTW. I understand that at the moment in Israel there is an uproar against Netanyahu for not having reached a deal with Hamas YMS :
Well that could NOT and should NOT the solution , cease fire , deals with some of the WORST of the universe that is impossible . Military MIGHT should do .

If therer is still a Jew in the U.S who is insane enough to support the democratic party and its menuvalim’and demons, they deserve (those Jews), to be put in cherem and pushed out of Jewish society, whether in Satmar, Square, Lakewood or anywhere . Yes, we are desperately waiting for Moshiach, Hashem Yeracheim, but till that wished-for day, all need to OPEN THEIR EYES, and understand that Donald Trump is Hashem’s shaliach, the ‘tov shel Eisav’, as Rabbi Mendel Kessin from Lakewood has said recently in a brilliant lecture. Bezrs’H, it will be , with Trump being President again, the ONLY WAY FOR yIDDEN TO SURVIVE TILL THAT WISHED FOR DAY – OUR TRUE GEULAH AND YESHUA FROM THIS DOWNWARD SPIRALLING NIGHTMARE, THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA.
