Please begin by reading the following AP report by Josef Federman dealing with Israel’s current election…
“Netanyahu’s legacy is on the line as Israelis vote in the first elections since the Oct. 7 attack”
A few things raised the hairs on the back of my neck right from the get-go.
The author repeatedly refers to the butchers who deliberately committed mass atrocities of the equivalent of 40,000 innocent American civilians in Israel on October 7, 2023 via gunfire, stabbing, beheading, disembowelment, tying families together and burning them alive, gang raping and mutilating the private parts of females of all ages, and slaughter by other means as well as “militants.”
While this error is also frequently committed by other news sources as well, it doesn’t make this instance any more acceptable.
The obvious main difference is that terrorists deliberately target the most innocent of society to drive fear into them for their own cause, and the ones Israel faces in Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hizbullah, Fatah, ISIS, al-Qaida, Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, the PFLP, and so forth have openly declared that the total destruction of the soul, minuscule 9-15 mile wide resurrected Jewish state in existence and the slaughter of Jews everywhere are their goals.
The so-called “moderates” of the latter day Arafatians in suits continue to pay monthly awards to Arabs, under their control in formerly 4,000 year old ancestral Jewish homelands in Judaea and Samaria, for murdering Jews.
The PLO/Fatah/PA’s multi-millionaire Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas are merely flip sides of the supremacist, racist Arab terrorist coin. Neither are reconciled to the existence of a Jewish state in what most Arabs consider to be “purely Arab patrimony” by virtue of their earlier 7th century C.E. massive caliphal imperial, colonizing, settling invasions of hundreds of millions of other indigenous non-Arab peoples’s ancestral homelands—whether their victims were Judaeans, who fought four major well documented wars against Rome and Byzantium (with ancient Persia as their allies), clear up to the invasion of jihadi Arab hordes bursting out of a rapidly desiccating Arabian Peninsula in search of other native peoples’s greener pastures to steal.
Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists on the Indian subcontinent; black Africans; North African Amazigh/Kabyle/“Berbers;” Zoroastrian Persians; Egyptian Copts; Kurds, Yazidis, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Phoenician descended Lebanese Christians; and others as well fell victim to ARABISM’s cause, spreading the Dar ul-Islam in all directions—and now threatening Europe, America, and elsewhere as well.
Okay, enough of the history lesson for now. Back to the AP analysis…
The author makes reference to Judaea and Samaria as “occupied West Bank.”
Question: Do the Christian Gospels say that Yehoshua/Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea or Bethlehem of the “occupied West Bank”?
A 4,000 year old people does not (implicitly illegally) “occupy” its own solidly corroborated, by both non-Hebraic and Hebraic sources, ancestral homeland.
Alien Arabs—who arrived millennia after Jews as Hebrews, Israelites, and Judaeans established kingdoms, had Prophets preaching the Word of G_d, built two magnificent Temples, gave the entire world the Holy Bible with its Ten Commandments, and so forth—were the foreign settlers, occupiers, and colonizers, not the Jewish People.
That their land suffered repeated imperial invasions—including that of Arabian Peninsula Arabs themselves—did not nullify Jewish claims in international or other law to their homeland…regardless of what any of their assorted haters say.
This AP analysis then does Israel a service it didn’t intend to do…
It pointed out the mass turnout of Israel’s two million Arabs in this election—so much so that the Arab parties (voters vote for parties in Israel, not individuals) may very well wind up being the king makers in this election.
Now Dr. Abdul, Macklemore, Mamdani, Piker, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and all others of their ilk who accuse Israel of “apartheid” and such, how do you explain the above?
Does that sound like “apartheid” to you?
Don’t dare bring up “discrimination” because various Jews from different countries—especially the over half of Israel’s Jewish population, the Sephardim and Mizrahim, who fled “Arab/Muslim” lands for their very lives (more in numbers than Arab refugees, but with no special UN organization, like UNRWA, which was set up for the former, to assist them)—also feel discriminated against as well at times. German Jews (those who survived aren’t thrilled sometimes with Polish Jews, and so forth). And then there’s the case of hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian and other black African-Israeli Jews.
But…
Truth is that NO where in the entire region are Arabs freer than in Israel itself.
There are Arabs in Israel’s Knesset who routinely side with Islamists like Hamas, calling for Israel’s destruction. “Apartheid Israel” ? This is lunacy. They should be expelled as traitors to one of the Arabs’ almost two dozen other states.
Imagine a Jew, Kurd, Copt, Druze, Assyrian, or other non-Arab acting this way in an “Arab” country. They’d be dead before long.
Indeed, what minority group in “Arab” lands are afforded the rights “abused” Arabs have in Israel? Things are just now starting to improve somewhat for the Imazighen/“Berbers” in some countries in North Africa.
Ask millions of pre-Arab conquest Christian Copts in Egypt how things are for them in Muslim Brotherhood popular Egypt today. Or Kurds, Yazidis, Druze, Assyrians, Greek Orthodox, and others as well in Arab jihadi controlled Mesopotamia and Syria…And so forth.
Get the picture? Despite Israel’s human flaws, it shines in comparison to the oppressive, genocidal regimes which surround it.
But no one ever bothers to explore what’s happening most of the time if Hebrews aren’t involved.
Just one other example should suffice on this point…
Countless thousands—millions—of non-Muslim black Africans have been slaughtered, enslaved, maimed, and so forth by Arabs and Arabized blacks of Boko Haram and other jihadi groups.

Sudan-The Story Within the Story
Where are the non-stop demonstrations on campus, in the streets of Paris, London, Venice, New York, or elsewhere protesting these atrocities?
Again, if the sin ain’t Hebraic, no one cares.
Federman repeats the mantra that the “international community” insists on a “two state solution.”
Where was this community when Egypt grabbed Gaza and Transjordan did likewise in Judaea and Samaria, ILLEGALLY, when they attacked a nascent Israel in May 1948?
Both areas (along with the Golan Heights) were part of historic Israel and were included in the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine. For readers’ enlightenment, that name was changed from Iudaea/Judaea by the Roman Emperor Hadrian after the second major revolt (132-135 C.E.) which was extremely costly to Rome. It lost entire Roman legions to Bar Kochba’s army. See what some of Rome’s main historians had to report about this here: ‘They Show No Respect for Their Caesars’…

To pour salt onto the wound of the Jews’ defeat after General Shimon Bar Kochba was captured, Hadrian renamed the land after the Jews’ historic enemies, the Philistines, Greeks who arrived by sea from the islands around Crete, of David and Goliath and Samson and Delilah fame. Open the following link to see an Iudaea (Judaea) Capta coin issued after the first major war of the Jewish People for freedom and independence in their historic homeland…

Judaea Capta…not Arabia Capta, and certainly not a non-existent “Palaestina Capta).
Since the days of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (later renamed “Israel”), JEWISH history and ancestral ownership were established in this land—not Arab.
Arabs originated in the Arabian Peninsula, and via violent genocidal, jihadi conquests stole and forcibly Arabized and Islamized millions of square miles of other indigenous peoples’ ancestral lands.
“Two state solution”?
In 1922, Great Britain chopped off most of the original 1920 Mandate and gifted it to ARABISM—not Zionism. Thus was created today’s Jordan.
What Arabs and their supporters demand today is a SECOND state for ARABISM in the original territory, something they most certainly don’t deserve and won’t ever get.
Not to mention that if Arabs were ever to get that additional state, they would still reject Israel’s right to its ancient homeland. Hamas has repeatedly stated that it intends to redo the atrocities of October 7th over and over again, and Mahmoud Abbas, with America’s misguided help, has been quietly building a substantial army in Judaea and Samaria, now ARAB occupied “West Bank.” Recall his “pay to slay” policy which gifts Arab murderers of Jewish innocents with monthly awards courtesy mostly of the American taxpayer.
Israel must watch this development very closely and, regardless of who complains, must nip this additional existential threat in the bud at any sign of serious problems.
Where is the justice for scores of millions of other native peoples whom the Arabs slaughtered, oppressed, and remain totally STATELESS today because the world, academia, the press, ignorant masses of sheeple, assorted antisemites, and others remain fixated on the current cause celebre of Palestinianism?
Here’s my unabashed response to this:
Forty three million Kurds and their Yazidi cousins, who suffered hundreds of thousands of deaths at the hands of Syrian and Iraqi Arabs, need to finally get the state they were indeed promised after World War I before anything else regarding Arabs is ever even mentioned.
Federman, after mentioning the Hamas slaughter of October 7th, like so many other mainstream media sources, quotes Gaza “Health Department officials” (aka Hamas officials) stating that some 74,000 Arabs were killed by Israel, and then mentions that experts call Israel’s actions “genocide.” Check out the “objectivity” of one of those “experts’ here…
Peace Prize Winner Navi Pillay’s Long Record of Anti-Israel Hatred
First of all, how many of those 74,000 were Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and others as well fighters? No distinction is made at all, not surprisingly.
For a real look at the genocide charge (again, recall the countless slaughter non-Arab victims of real genocide referred to above), here’s some examples of what some of the world’s true leading experts on urban and other warfare have to report on this matter…
And…
Over 75 retired US military leaders reject Gaza genocide allegations in open letter
Israel has dropped millions of leaflets, made countless thousands of cell phone calls, delivered millions of pounds of food, medicines, inoculated Gaza Arabs against Polio, provided other necessary supplies, and so forth to its existential enemies’ civilian population—which freely elected Hamas to power knowing full well that its charter calls for the total obliteration of Israel and murder of Jews everywhere.
The reality is that when it comes to hatred of kilab yahud, Jew dogs, almost all Arabs agree. Dogs are ‘haram”-sinful, forbidden- and are are hated and frequently slaughtered by Arabs. So this hatred is easily transferred to Jews as well. And far too often, Arab treatment of most other animals isn’t any better…take donkeys, for example.
This is no small point. Often how people treat animals is a good indication of how they’re likely to treat people as well…
Donkeys and falcons and qassams et al
Israel has formed protective corridors, with its own personnel on both sides (risking their own lives), to offer safe passage before conducting necessary strikes against butchers who routinely commit atrocities against Jews and other Israelis, and then cowardly run back to hide behind their own women, children, and other innocents to use them as human shields. By doing these things, the IDF knows it loses the element of surprise to kill the butchers, but does so anyway because human life is sacred for Jews—even that of its enemies.
Is the above what an army intent on genocide does? Here’s another important link debunking this horrendous calumny against what experts have repeatedly called the most humane military ever recorded on Earth…
Urban Warfare Specialist: Gaza Genocide Charge Against Israel Among ‘Biggest Lies Ever Propagated’
Whoever wins the election in Israel, Israel will continue to be singled out for the “special treatment” Jews have always received, from most of the non-Jewish world, whether in the Christian West or the Muslim East.
So, under these circumstances, despite Prime Minister Netanyahu’s flaws and imperfections (what leader of any nation doesn’t have them?), he is the battle-tested man who, despite excruciating pressure coming from Israel’s “friends” let alone its enemies, is best suited for Israel’s immediate future, especially given that Iran was not totally defeated and did not suffer unconditional surrender as President Trump suggested quite some time ago.
The sad fact is that the above was indeed achievable had The Donald had the will to do what a truly great American wartime leader did in World War II, as seen below…

Israpundit is entirely dependent on readers support. Please help me continue educating people with the truth about what is going on in Israel and around the world.
Many years ago, the Kahane party in Israel was banned on the grounds it was “racist”. So why do anti-Zionist Arab parties remain legal? As always, the Jewish people are self-defeating.
