According to Jewish tradition, Jews do not count people. In the Bible, when a census needed to be conducted, each Israelit gave half a Shekel (the Israel currency both in Biblical Israel and in modern Israel). It was these coins that were counted, not the people. I believe that it was half a Shekel and not a full Shekel so that even the amount of money will not indicate directly how many people there are -- ensuring that people are not denigrated to simply be referred to as numbers. 

Throughout the generations, Jews who observe this tradition count the number of shirts that arrived on a school field trip, the number of shoes that are standing in a line, or the number of backpacks that the kindergarten kids have. It sounds silly when we learn about this for the first time, but there is a very deep reason for not counting people directly. 

This weariness of counting people is clarified in the context of WWII. In WWII, the Jews that were caught and taken to slavery and murder camps were all branded first with a serial number on their arms. These numbers were a form of humiliation and psychological abuse, focusing on the efficacy of the murderous goal and robbing all Jews from their identity and from their names. Jews were now numbers to be treated like animals led to the slaughter house.  

My great-grandfather survived the worst that the holocaust had to offer. He was moved between work camps, walking in the infamous Death March, and brought to work at a death camp. He was in the death camp at the time the war was won and was saved by the allied forces prior to the inevitability of being gassed to death. 

The method of numbering the Jews and rounding them up as cattle was one of the reasons it took him more than a full year to recover and recall who he was and what his name was. He was not the only survivor who went through such a process of having his life stolen, his identity stripped and his psychological state be brutally abused. The process of stealing not only one’s physical body, but also working actively towards ripping the Jews from their identities, names and humanity, was a deliberate and truly evil process. 

The Israeli hostages who were lucky enough to return alive to Israel, shared horror stories about how they were not only physically and brutally attacked and abused in captivity, they were also deliberately psychologically attacked, manipulated and turtoured in ways that were aimed at stripping them of their humanity, dignity and hope. 

Being abused and stripped of any human dignity is not new for the Jewish people. In the aftermath of the slavery in Egypt, the Jewish people became hypervigilant to any type of abusive and tyrannic method of governance. Therefore, it became part of the Jewish tradition to not number people directly, precisely because it opens the door towards a dehumanization of the people, as was done in WWII. 

For the Jewish people and the Israel state, every single person is an entire universe. Rabbis and sages have long taught that according to the Bible, we all came from one person -- from Adam. 

When we think of what the universe is today, we understand that all of development, technology, innovation, flourishment, as well as hardships, hate and pain -- it all come from one single person -- from Adam. 

This teaching reminds us to look at each other with respect; no one should be taken for granted, and no one can be considered as less important than anyone else. According to Jewish teachings, each one of us is an entire universe waiting to unfold. Each one of us is the work of creation itself, and each one of us is therefore unquantifiable. 

Our enemies know we hold each human with such high regards. The multitude of terror organisations and Arab forces that have come to kill us over the years know this deep rooted Jewish and Israeli consciousness, and they have been utilizing this specific belief against us for a very long time. They have been manipulating us (Israel and the world included) for decades. 

It is important to remind ourselves that the Palestenians were not ‘a people’ in 1948. They were living on land that had colonizers for hundreds of years. There were no Palestinian people, only Arab groups that came with the multitude of previous colonizers that Israel has known since it was established well over 2000 years ago.

When the British colony gave way to Israel and other countries around it, the Arabs living in the area refused to set up their own country, and the Arab nations around had set up a plan in which they promised Arab Palestenians to colonize the Jewish Palestinian area and give the land as soon as they conquer all of Israel. But they never did conquer Israel.

These refugees, who hated Jews so much that they refused to live in peace with Jews on the same land, uprooted themselves and left to live in the countries that had promised them “next time we attack, you’ll get the land back.” 

The Arab League (the union of Arab nations) and all surrounding Arab countries did attack Israel again, more than once, yet they failed each time they tried. Their promise to conquer Israel, kill or expel all the Jews and split the land between the Arabs had failed miserably, no matter how hard they tried to make it work --  it did not work. G-d, it appears, was (and still is) on Israel’s side.  

The Arab countries: Lebanon, Syriah, Jordan and Egypt, now had a problem on their hands: A large group of refugees which they did not plan on integrating into their own countries were stuck in their lands. Instead of admitting defeat and integrating these refugees (which they themselves invited into their lands), they decided to come up with new plans of attack and taking over Israel’s land.

In 1948, as Israel established itself, the Arabs joined forces to attack Israel with the goal: To illuminate the Jews and splitting the land between themselves. But they lost. Between 1948 and 1967 they attacked again, and again, and again. The lack of ability of these countries to win over tiny Israel only fueled the hateful desire to insure Israel does not exist. The humiliation of losing in such battles, in Arab culture, is something that cannot be forgotten. Simply admitting defeat was not an option, and new strategies of attacking Israel started to form. 

After multiple failed joint-war efforts, the Arab League understood that to take over the land of Israel, kill and expel all the Jews and Israelis, they need help beyond what they alone can do -- for even in their uniting against Israel, they are no match when G-d watches over His people and their promised land. So, in the name of these new refugees which the Arab countries refused to integrate, and their new Egypt-Jordanian organisation, the PLO, the Arab shenanigans had put on a show for the entire world to see. 

In 1968, in the name of the Palestinian fight, a commercial flight from Rome to Israel was hijacked by a group of terrorists. The five terrorists demanded to release Palestinian prisoners (who were rightfully imprisoned), “But they tried to achieve something more: "To make the world aware of the Palestinian problem", in their words.” They were on to a new strategy; they needed to galvanise the world’s support against Israel. 

In 1969 the same group hijacked another aircraft on route from Los Angeles to Greece with the same goal as before “the kidnapping was to serve as a bargaining tool and for exposure of the Palestinian problem.”

The game of hijacking planes to release Palestinian prisoners and elevate the global awareness to the so-called (and non existing) “Palestinian cause” has started. 

In the first hijacking, the hostages were released after 39 days, and for the 33 hostages, they were able to negotiate the release of 24 prisoners. In the second hijacking, of 120 people who landed in Syria, out of which only six were Israeli, all hostages, expect the Israelis, were released after four days, and the Israelis stayed behind much longer, until Israel agreed to exchange 71 Egyptian and Syrian prisoners to get back the six Israelis still held in Syria. 33 hostages for 24 prisoners became 6 hostages for 71 prisoners. 

“The number game” was off to a promising start.

While Israel (the Jewish Palestenians) only ever wanted to secure its citizens safety, the Arab Palestinian terror organisations, masking as freedom fighters, started playing a game of “lets see how many terrorists and prisoners Israel will release for every single Israeli we capture.” 

Amongst other hijacking attempts, in 1972 a flight from Brussels, Belgium was hijacked with 99 passengers who got the Palestinian freedom fighters 315 prisoners out of jail.  

This flight hijacking madness only ended when Israel took a clear and strong stand against this hijacking and numbers game. This insanity only ended when Israel stood up for itself and said enough is enough! The terrorists and their so-called freedom fighters were trying to play a game of kidnapping our people to release terrorists, murderers, rapists out of jail and it cannot and will not go on. 

“On June 27th 1976, an Air France Airbus A300, flight number 139 from Israel to Paris, was hijacked while parked at a stopover in Athens. On the plane were 240 passengers, including about 100 Jews and Israelis.” They landed the plane in Entebbe, Uganda, where additional terrorists joined. This time, the terrorists added to their sick game a deadline: Release the prisoners by a certain date or they will start executing the passengers one by one. 

The Israeli government understood the trajectory of this airplane hijacking trend and could not participate in it any longer. Israel did not release any prisoners. 

Israel undertook a rescue operation that killed all the hijackers including additional Uganda military that was aiding them.  This game of hijacking planes was over. The well known “Entebbe Operation” is where Benjamin Netanyahu’s sibling, “Commander of the Elite Commando Unit, Lieutenant Colonel Yonatan Netanyahu, was killed… along with three hostages.”

After Israel’s show of power, the flight hijacking was a system the Arab Palestinian terrorists abandoned. What they masked as a freedom fight was only another iteration in an old attempt to undermine the Jewish people’s ability to build and prosper in their own land -- Israel. 

While the plane hijacking stopped, the idea of kidnapping Israelis to free their prisoners and to gain global awareness and support took roots. It was only a matter of time before they found the new demonic strategy to employ it. 

Now there were two separate goals: on the global front, through the UN and other political supporters of the Arab League, the awareness for the “Palestinian” propaganda started spreading out. 

On the other hand, in Israel, the kidnapping of civilians and soldiers in exchange for imprisoned terrorists was taking its first steps, which eventually led us to Oct. 7th 2023 and Gaza’s situation today. The twisted Palestinian number game was on, and its outcome is the devastation they brought onto themselves in the current Gaza war. 

In 1985, Arab Palestinians in Lebanon kidnaped Israelis who were fighting to protect our northern borders. For the 3 uniforms that our precious soldiers wore, the terrorists demanded 1150 terrorists be released. 

In 1991, to be able to bring one coffin of our soldier to a proper burial in Israel, they demanded the release of 61 of what they considered war prisoners.

Seeing the trend of the plane hijacking being repeated with individual people was not something the Israeli government wanted to see happen. Yet this systematised terror tactic was used against us many times since. 

In 1994, as a teenager, I personally roamed the streets of Jerusalme under multiple security warnings that a group of terrorists have infiltrated Israel with the goal to kidnap Israelis. Just imagine growing up with that type of continuous terror kidnapping threat in Paris, London, Montreal, Toronto or Hague.

In 1994, Hamas kidnapped the soldier Nachshon Vaksman. They demanded 200 terrorists be released. Israel did not want this pattern to go on and tried, like in Entebbe, to release Nachshon. But the terrorists, hearing our soldiers coming, shot him moments before he could have been rescued. 

In 1996 Hizballah returned two of our fallen heroes in return to 105 bodies of their dead terrorists.

And the game of numbers went on. In 1998, it was 1 for 100. In 2004 it was 3 for 481. In 2006 Hamas had terrorists cross through tunnels and attack Israeli soldiers, killing them and kidnapping Gilad Shalit. After being held in Gaza for over 5 years, he was returned to Israel in exchange for 1027 terrorist, out of which 280 were sentenced for life for the murderous crimes they planned and executed against innocent Israeli civilians.

This number game we are in, is not one Israel chose to be in. And yet, over the last 19 months there have been people around the world, including those who think of themselves as respectable reporters, who have blamed Israel for not cherishing the Palestenian’s lives as being the root cause for freeing thousands of murderous terrorists in exchange for every single Israeli we can return home. 

These number games do not show how little we care about the lives of the Arab Palestinians -- this game of theirs shows how little they value their own lives. They minimise this entire fight against Israel and the Jews to a game of numbers: “how many people can we kidnap so we can get as many of our murderers and terrorists friends out of the Israeli prison” -- a prison they sit in after being caught for actual crimes and where they go through an actual legal trail. And a freedom they wish for their fellow terrorists, so they can build up their terror organisation and attack Israel again. 

The Palestenains try to present Israel as the one kidnapping their loved ones, when all we do is catch terrorists and murderers and bring them to trial, as any western and well functioning country should be doing. It is the Israeli’s government responsibility to ensure our safety. After multiple Intifadas (wars of weekly, if not daily, terror attacks within Israel, each war lasting multiple years), Israel is obligated to catch and arrest all these terrorists. 

No matter how much you try to present terrorists as freedom fighters -- when the fight for freedom is to be free to kill, murder and kidnap Israelis, you are not fighting for freedom, you are fighting for the death of the Jewish people and those who live peacefully with them. The organisations that have been leading the Arab Palastenians up until now cannot be seen as anything but a group of criminals, terrorists and murderers. 

One of the goals on Oct. 7th, 2023 was to kidnap as many Israelis, as Hamas was able to. “Innocent Gazan civilians” were promised houses and financial rewards for joining in the Hamas attack and bringing back kidnapped Israelis with them. There were no freedom fighters, there were no innocent civilians -- these were mercenaries. Hired by Hamas, paid for by the aid of the western world and some of the Arab countries.  

This attack was not performed by Hamas only. It was joined in by other terror groups that operate within Gaza, as well as Gazan civilians who we would normally consider to be ‘innocent civilians.’ 

After their attack, mass butchuring, brutal gang rapping, torturing, kidnapping and looting (they even took the time to steal TV sets and other items from the Israeli homes they attacked) -- we entered a new level of “the numbers game”. Not only did the whole X Israelis for XXXX terrorist equation start being calculated (by them), it was now about how many dead can they show on global media. 

The new game of “how high can we make the death toll” was on. This was no problem, after all, the hospitals and all reports were governed and managed by Hamas. Every piece of information that was reported was done so through the supporters of Hamas. 

Numbers were fabricated.

Rockets they accidentally shot into their own crowds were blamed as Israel’s fault, people they shot as they were running to get food were pinned on Israeli soldiers that were not even near the area. The lies kept coming out, as the western media had zero concern to fact check their lies -- turning themselves into a propaganda machine in service of a terrorist organisation, spreading hate, antisemitism and blood liables, only to need to retract their articles later on, without bothering to annonce to their readers and listeners that they have lied to them earlier. 

“The anchoring effect is a psychological phenomenon in which an individual's judgments or decisions are influenced by a reference point or "anchor" which can be completely irrelevant. Both numeric and non-numeric anchoring have been reported through research. In numeric anchoring, once the value of the anchor is set, subsequent arguments, estimates, etc. made by an individual may change from what they would have otherwise been without the anchor.” This means that the inflated lies that the media was so eager to publish created an anchoring effect of Jew and Israel hatred around the globe. 

The outrageous reports of the death tolls that the media was so fast to burst out were false. This was proven time and again. The high numbers alongside the many manipulated and fabricated videos and photos pulled on the strings of empathy of every western person. Leading to the goal the PLO set out to have in the 1960’s: to bring global awareness to the “Palestinian cause” -- the cause of killing the Jews and colonizing their land. And the western world, including its leaders, blinded by manipulated documentations, fell into the psychopathic trap of these terrorist organisations. Thus, the western world anchored itself in the lies of a terrorist organisation.

When they count teenage terrorists as young children, the heart of the westerner aches. This is what they count on; you're feeling bad for the stories they share. When they count natural deaths as ‘killed by Israel,’ we think Israel killed innocent people (who would have likely died anyway, statistically, as people die every year, everywhere, from illness and old age). When they just ‘round up’ the number of dead by a thousand or two, it is pure lies. When they count terrorists as innocent civilians it is only to further the emotional manipulation abuse on you -- the westerner. 

When we add all these lies one on top of the other, we get a fabrication of casualties, a mountain of lies, that is so immense -- it is unfathomable to think that any reporter and news channel was able to report these lies without our seeing them as actual enemies of Israel, an aider of a terrorist organisation, a propaganda machine of lies and a spreader of anti-semitic lies. 

Such news outlets should be held accountable in the court of law in their countries for spreading lies and hate speech for they have a direct impact on the beliefs of Jew haters across the world. This type of irresponsible reporting should never happen again in a free and democratic country, and all who participated should be publicly revoked from any reporter association and accreditation they have been a part of.  

When you jump to report that  within 48 hours 14,000 children will die of lack of food, it is a blood-liable aimed to galvanise more hate towards Israel, so the world pressures it to stop its just fight against terror. What the source of that article actually said was that it would be the case within a year if no aid would go in. Lo and behold, Israel has found a way to make sure aid comes into the hands of the innocent Gazans. Israel found a way to keep Hamas from hijacking the aid and not giving it to the Gazans. Israel with the USA help found the solution; not European countries, not Arab countries, and definitely not Hamas. Yet this will not be reported, as it does not spread more anti-Israel sentiments. 

Even now, when Israel and the United States were able to find a way to truly help the Gazan civilians, the reporters believed and jumped to report that a massacre was committed by Israel in that location. Articles they had to remove from their websites since. While the truth was, that Gazan’s have recorded videos thanking Israel and the Trump administration for finally helping them get out from under the oppression of Hamas. But this will not be reported, as it is not in line with the anti-semetic side most of the world chooses to report. 

The media keeps anchoring hate and anti-semitisim and blood-liables in the minds of unsuspecting people, and they light the fire in the minds of the war mongering terror activists around the globe, leading to Jews and Israelis being actually hurt from Australia, to France, to Canada and the US. 

Thus, the game of numbers goes on. From aeroplane hijacking, to soldiers and civilians kidnapping, to manipulating the numbers of the death tools and injuries of their own people -- anything to make sure that the “global awareness to the Palestinian cause” allows the pressure to build up against Israel -- the true victim in this over eight-decade-long insanity.

The Palestinian terrorist cause will gladly present any number that allows them to gain the appearance of a higher moral ground over Israel. They need to keep playing this number game because they have no other way to manipulate the hearts of the people in the west. Yet their fight is not a just one. They are not fighting for the freedom of their own people, they are fighting for the freedom to kill all Jews and Israelies. They are fighting for the freedom to take over our land and ruin everything Israel has created. They say so themselves.

People are so blinded by these numbers and the false documentation that they forget that it is not Hamas that sends aid to every natural disaster around the world. It is not Hamas that has doctors and other personal help even countries who are considered to be our enemies. It is easy to ignore that the Jewish people, as a people, as a religion and the country we had built on the backs of this faith, is a people and a faith that cherishes life -- to the point that we count our shoes, our uniformes, our backpacks and kippahs, but not ourselves. We are a humanitarian people -- it is literally our faith to be humanitarians. While our enemy has it in their charter to annihilate all Jews and the Israeli states. 

What does it say about our world, when the world chooses to side with them? What does it say about you if you choose to believe their lies again and again? 

Even those who were blind to all the unjust wars Israel had to fight over the years; even all who were not aware of the massive and extremely long Intifada wars we had to face -- can no longer ignore that the way Hamas builds their army bases under hospitals, in schools, and hide their weapons in their children's bedrooms, does not align with their claim that they are fighting for the freedom to live peacefully. The tunnels, they said themselves, are not to defend the Gazan’s, they are for the terrorists to hide so they can prolong the war and attack Israel again. 

They need these manipulative games because their cause is not a just cause. They need to spread lies because their cause is based on lies. They wish to prolong the war under the guise of a temporary ceasefire agreement so they can regain strength and control over the Gazans and go back to fight for the Arab League established goal to conquer Israel since before 1948. 

While Hamas might have fooled the entire world, we have been in this fight since before Israel was declared an independent country. We, unlike the western world, are no longer fooled by their endless masks and manipulations, games of numbers and fabricated realities.  

Here is one example of a number game that has not caught the eye of the western media: I read an Al Jazeera (AJ) report that statistically, one out of five Palestinians was arrested by Israel at some point. On first read it sounds as if Israel is out of control to arrest 1 out of 5 Palestenians. This is how manipulation works in journalism. 

First, it is important to remember that some Arab Palestinian terrorists were arrested multiple times, so presenting this information in such a manner is already manipulation of the truth. It is not that one out of five were arrested, since many were arrested multiple times. Secondly, this number does not state anything bad about Israel, as it was represented; it highlights the breadth of the problem within the Palestinian people. On average, 1:5 people are actively functioning as or collaborating with terrorists and their plans to commit acts of terror against Israel.  

Can anyone in the western countries imagine what it is like to live side by side in a country that at the very least twenty percent of its population is actively attempting to kill your people and are actively plotting to murder and explode and kidnap your people? It is unfathomable. What is worse is that the remaining people are being brainwashed that terrorism, anti-sematisim, and killing of Jews is the only solution. Most of the remaining people see these twenty percent as heroes. 

Israel is an ethical western country who does not arrest those who are innocent. When faced with such high numbers of criminals, murders, and terrorists at its border, always attempting to infiltrate Israel to kill and murder, sure, I would imagine there were a few innocent people who were accidentally arrested. It is unfortunate and sad when such things happen. 

As a rule, Israel does not arrest and catch anyone without the intel to back up the reason for arrest. When arrested, the person is investigated and returned home, or if they are found guilty, they have a fair trial in Israel. AJ has no problem manipulating ‘data’ so it sounds like Israel is such a force of evil. AJ had no problem publishing that the Big Ben was stolen by Britain from Hebron in Israel. Half truths, manipulation of truth and spreading pure lies is the work of darkness and evil forces that have infiltrated minds across the world. This has to be put to an end.

A few weeks ago, a French magazine reported that 2.1 million people in Gaza are at risk of immediate death. I would like to remind the French people (and media) that every single person on this planet is at risk for immediate death. That is the risk of being alive. 

The way we choose to fraise our headlines and our articles make the difference between keeping peace on your streets or adding fire to the terror hub that is already brewing in your own backyards. 

The psychological anchoring point the media is setting is not a joke. It translates into real murderous crimes. We saw it in Holland when Israelis were brutally attacked on the streets, in the USA with a murder of Israeli diplomats and throwing fire bombs on peacefully protesting Jews, we saw it with shooting at schools and firebombing synagogue in Canada, we saw it with actual death threats and touching of communities in Australia, and more. 

The way you freely blame Israel for the lies provided by Hamas means another Jewish girl will be attacked (like the horrible rap in France), or teeagers will be bullies (like Jewish youth across the highschools of Canada), or A peaceful kippah wearing Jew will be arrested for simply walking on a street where pro-terrorists were demonstrating and it’s easier to arrest the Jew than stop the hate of the Hamas supporters (like happened in London). 

In this WWIII, the media is not only keeping the people informed on what is happening around the world, the media has become an active arm of terrorist organisations. 

Media outlets that do not check within themselves who it is that is spreading lies, will all be held accountable to the spreading of hate; the spreading of lies brought forth by a terrorist organisation, aimed to build hate towards a specific group of people in your country is hate speech. 

I have shown in this article the connection between the terror organisation, their lies, and their overtaking the western media world. Past this point, any false information media outlet around the world chooses to spread should be documented by all who can, so we can sue each and every reporter and their media outlet for spreading hate speech and inflammatory speech -- freedom of speech ends when what you say is a propaganda of lies aimed to aid the justification of the killing of Jews and Israelis, in Israel and around the world. 

Every country has children and adults that are at risk of malnutrition. The US has them, Canada has them, France has them, and yes, Gaza has them too. Obviously, in times of war the situation in Gaza is dire and difficult. However, to draw the conclusion that 14,000 children will die in 48 hours, and that 2.1 people will just drop dead from hunger is simply lies. It is either stupidity of the media or manipulation aimed to spread more hate against Israel and the Jewish people.

When you aid the war goals of a terrorist organisation by publishing their lies, you have become a contractor of this terror organisation. Hamas spreads lies aimed to put international pressure on Israel to stop the war, because they need the time to gather their arms to come back for another attack, another Oct. 7th. They said so themselves on their media outlets. 

It would appear that the people of Hamas are willing to die, but only when it is for the cause of killing Jews and Israelis. If their death is due to Israel’s winning in the fight they started, it is time to complain and lie about it. If they die while killing and murdering Jews and Israelis, it is time to boast and celebrate with candies in the streets. 

If Israel and the US find a way to care for the truly innocent civilians of Gaza, out of the reach of Hamas, it is time to spread lies about Israel so Israel will not be able to help the Gazans. Why would they do that? Because Hamas needs the Gazan people to starve, so that they will come crawling to Hamas (that has stolen all the previous aid), and with it they will add new recruits to their terror organisation. Now that Hamas is losing its hold on the Gazans, it is time to spread all the possible lies to have the world force Israel into submission. 

So… let us send a boat with someone famous, like Gretta Thunberge, so that the world will see how bad Israel is. Hamas tried to get these types of boats in the past, hiding weapons in them, and they had attacked our soldiers. It does not end well. They are hoping something similar will happen now. The food on this boat is not needed. It is a propaganda photo-op aimed to try again to get the world to pressure Israel to stop. But we will not stop doing the right thing -- actually helping the people of Gaza, and getting our people back home. 

In war people die. That is why the western world desires to avoid wars and aggression between countries. Israel is a western country and abides by the same belief system. However, when organisations of terror come to attack Israel, while gaslighting and manipulating the entire world, we have the right to demand -- if you chose the path of death, stop complaining about it in our western media and speak of the next attacks in your own media. 

We have the obligation to demand that leaders of the western countries take better control over the mess and hate their own journalists spreads. It is unacceptable behaviour for any media and news organisation to become a propaganda contractor, spreading hate speech, without the countries taking any action on the matter. If your country does not allow sending money to a terrorist organisation, how can you allow receiving lies from them and indoctrinating your own people into the lies they spread?

Yet, I fear this will not be understood, as too many leaders, mainly across Europe, look to these very deceitful media outlets to determine their political ideology and their approach towards Israel. These types of leaders have forgotten what being a leader actually means. 

Being a leader does not mean believing everything you hear and read. It means be aware of what is being said, but then do your homework, find the sources who speak the truth, and by all means, do not drag your own country into further lies and darkness. Yet many European countries have already fallen into darkness and will believe any lie Hamas and their supporters provide. 

Someone who cannot handle the consequence of a war, should not open war. One cannot be happy to kill and then be surprised and present themselves as the victim when losing. You cannot both open a war and be the victim. You cannot fight for the destruction of Israel for over 77 years and demand the world will pressure Israel to stop defending itself. And yet, this is what Hamas made the western world do. Wicked brilliance meets western stupidity.  

The true innocent Arab Palestinian who despite being brainwashed to hate and indoctrinated to be Jew killers, are still finding it in their heart to go after a life of peace, including peace with Israel, are forgotten by the western world. For decaused Israel was the only one actually looking out for them. Now, the USA is aiding Israel to help these innocent people get food and relocate -- yet Hamas supporters manipulate the reality, as they need them to stay, they need someone to enslave under their terror organisation, so they pressure the world to stop the war. 

The manipulations and lies we see in the media are a direct outcome of the number games the PLO, Hamas and the Arab League have started in the 60s. From ensuring that Israel is bullied in the UN with a record breaking number of resolutions and decisions against it (compared to any other country), to the blatant fabrication of a massacre in the food distribution point in Gaza -- this number game is all about how to ensure Israel sufferers in the hands of the colonial powers of the UN and the west; use these colonial western institutions to weaken Israel from outside, while Hamas and their terror allies fight for its land.  

From hijacking planes, to kidnapping soldiers, to brutally slaughtering thousands of Israelies and kidnapping hundreds of innocent people, just to be able to have actual criminals released from prison. From stealing the aid the western country sent into Gaza and building terror tunnels and terror bases risking the Gazan’s people’s lives, to stealing the food aid that was brought over many months into Gaza in order to create a purposeful shortage of food in Gaza -- the lies, manipulation, abuse and tyranny knows no end. 

Our media should know the difference between truth and lies, between a democracy and a terrorist run operation. Reporters, media providers, public speakers and politicians in the western world should not be blindly following what comes out of Gaza and Hamas. And for the betterment of the entire world, including the people of Israel and the people of Gaza -- stop allowing them to manipulate you with this game of numbers. Stop spreading lies and wake up to the truth! We’ve all been played and this game must end now!

We must be vocal and stand up to the truth. Wake up!
