Moshe Ya'alon is followed by Storyz World for government and public service coverage connected to Israel in the Middle East chapter.
When I heard attorney Uriel Chor Nazri (who represents the person ultimately responsible for the October 7 massacre) threaten Shlomi Eldar, Ruth Yuval and the Haaretz newspaper with a defamation lawsuit over the publication of the UAE president’s warning call, I remembered the defamation suit filed against me in the “Qatari money affair.” The person ultimately responsible for the October 7 massacre sued me after I quoted in a radio interview what appeared in the “Raven documents” about two payments Qatar transferred to the person at the head of Israel’s government: $15 million in 2012 and $50 million in 2018. I also stressed in the interview that I had no proof that he received the money, and nevertheless he decided to sue me. I immediately understood that this was a “silencing lawsuit.” Because if he really could prove that it was all nonsense, he would sue the website that still publishes the documents to this day (Blast), or at least demand that the publication be removed. In the meantime, the authenticity of the documents has been tested in legal proceedings in several countries (he is apparently not the only biased person whose name appears in the documents). The American cybersecurity company whose services were hired by Emirati intelligence was also examined in the United States, and its activity was found to be proper. I thought that anyone who wanted to prove his innocence would do everything possible to have his lawsuit examined in court. Instead, I encountered the delaying tactics of his attorney, Uriel Chor Nazri, who repeatedly postponed court hearings that had been scheduled at the last moment, claiming “reserve duty under Call-Up Order 8.” (Guy Peleg’s investigation on Channel 12 dealt with this, exposing the phenomenon in another trial as well, involving a family member)… After a series of postponements, the judge in my case ruled that the plaintiff pay legal costs in my favor. I have no doubt that the “Qatari money affair” is serious (even more so than the “submarines affair,” which was said to be the most serious security-corruption affair in the country’s history). In my opinion, the “Qatari money affair” could go as far as an indictment for treason. Its exposure could explain the conduct of the person ultimately responsible for the massacre, before and after October 7. After he succeeded in taking control of the law-enforcement system in this area (Shin Bet and the Israel Police), only a state commission of inquiry established by law will be able to get to the truth. Only replacing the government of lies, abandonment and treason in the upcoming elections can save the country from ruin!
Translated from HebrewAntisemitism (hatred of Jews) is a dark, incurable phenomenon whose roots can already be found in the third century BCE in ancient Egypt. Since then, it has brought pogroms, discrimination and the Holocaust upon our people. In light of the decision by some countries to impose sanctions on us because of Jewish riots and terrorism in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, we cannot absolve ourselves by accusing those countries of “antisemitism.” The next government must take responsibility for what is happening on the ground, stop financing and encouraging the rioters who dispossess Arabs of their land through severe violence (including murder), by stealing their property and establishing farms and outposts in their place (what is that if not ethnic cleansing?!). The next government must appoint a defense minister who will allow the IDF to act against Jewish terrorism, return control of the area to the “four legs” under the responsibility of the area commander (Civil Administration, Israel Police, Shin Bet and IDF forces), and renew administrative detention against Jewish terrorists. Some settlement leaders also understand that the conduct of the Jewish rioters and their acts of terrorism threaten the entire settlement enterprise, but few of them dare to speak out on the subject. The government of the messianists, draft dodgers and corrupt officials must be thrown out, in order to save the state (and the settlement enterprise too) from ruin!
Translated from Hebrew“Why are they shooting?” — that is what the person ultimately responsible for the 7/10 massacre asked when he was informed that the Hamas attack had begun. This is a natural question for anyone who pays protection money and is even willing to pay more so they will not rob him. This question also explains why he did not heed the warnings of the security agencies and their demand to eliminate Hamas leaders. This question also explains why he is preventing an investigation into the incident, especially an investigation into the Qatari money (which also reached his office). A prime minister who cared about the country would have taken responsibility, resigned immediately, and allowed an investigation and the drawing of lessons, instead of clinging to power and saying, “Let the country burn” … On 27.10, we vote to replace the government of lies, abandonment, and betrayal, the government of messianists, draft dodgers, and the corrupt — to save the country from ruin!
Translated from HebrewEven the (important!) condemnation by the top person responsible for the October 7 massacre of the Jewish rioters in Judea and Samaria cannot cover up the facts: 1. Jewish-terror activists are financed, equipped, supported and encouraged by the messianic ministers in the Israeli government. 2. The IDF has been stripped of its ability to enforce the law against Jewish rioters, because the Civil Administration was placed under the responsibility of Minister Smotrich, who supports the rioters; the Judea and Samaria District of the Israel Police operates under the instructions of the convicted, racist and Kahanist minister Ben-Gvir; the Shin Bet is not making full use of its capabilities against Jewish terror because its head is “too messianic”...; and the defense minister does not allow administrative detention of Jewish terrorists. 3. None of the rioters was arrested, despite clear photographs of the rioters and their vehicles (most of which were supplied by the Israeli government). Anyone with eyes in their head should understand that, given the political situation of the Hamas financier, he has an interest in security tensions ahead of the elections in order to bring about their postponement or disruption or influence their results. It is clear that someone who was willing to sacrifice hostages, civilians and soldiers for the sake of clinging to power is in an obvious conflict of interest with the interests of the State of Israel. The opposition leaders, since it was too late to declare him incapacitated, stood guard together with the protest movements in order to save the State of Israel from the government of lies, abandonment and betrayal, and from ruin.
Translated from HebrewMansour Abbas is a brave Arab-Israeli leader. He says honestly that Israel’s Jewish character was imposed on the Arabs of the land, and yet he recognizes that the state is Jewish and democratic in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. I wish the coalition members who attack him would accept these principles for the future of the state, instead of leading us to ruin, as a messianic halakhic state—racist, fascist, homophobic, misogynistic, backward, violent, corrupt and leprous. It is enough to recall Mansour Abbas’s conduct during Operation Guardian of the Walls, when the convicted criminal Ben Gvir “spilled fuel” in the mixed cities, and Mansour Abbas came after him and “spilled water.” The October 7 massacre coalition, and especially the person at its head, understand that elections held normally will lead to their defeat. Therefore, they are trying to delegitimize Mansour Abbas, as well as Yair Golan’s “Democrats,” and even foment war. Opposition leaders, do not lend a hand to this false campaign, and focus on removing the government of lies, abandonment and betrayal—the government whose policy of “Hamas is an asset,” “Hamas must be strengthened,” and even financing it with billions of Qatari dollars brought upon us the October 7 massacre, the disaster and the most severe crisis in our history. Mansour Abbas must be part of the coalition of change, and even a minister in the Israeli government.
Translated from HebrewThe person responsible for the attempts to foment a war ahead of the elections is the one sitting in the prime minister’s chair. He understands that if the elections are conducted properly, he will be defeated and will have to account for his indictments and failures. After failing against Iran, he is trying to do this against Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, but especially in Judea and Samaria, and the Temple Mount is still waiting for us during Sukkot, ahead of the elections. He has already proven his ability to maneuver the state into the 7.10 massacre (“the miracle”), by forming a government of messianists, draft dodgers and corrupt people, and dragging us into the longest war in our history, in order to continue clinging to power. Opposition leaders, anyone who does not understand that in the coming elections forces must be united to save the state from the government of lies, abandonment and betrayal—move aside. Anyone seeking “unity” or “compromise” with members of the current coalition should clear the political stage. The coming elections require a choice between a Jewish, democratic and liberal state in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, and a messianic, racist, fascist, homophobic, misogynistic, backward, violent, corrupt and diseased halachic state. This is the choice, and there is no other!
Translated from HebrewTo the indictment against Erdoğan as an antisemite, Israel-hater and supporter of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, I can add chapters from my experience. When I hear coalition spokespeople justify the attack in northern Syria and explain it as a change in policy—«attack every threat as it emerges, as a lesson from 7.10.»—the question arises: who allowed Turkey and Qatar to take over Syria and crown the jihadist Ahmad al-Sharaa as its leader? Who preferred Turkey and Qatar in the Gaza Strip over Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and the rest of the moderate countries, and why? Who allowed Hamas to be funded with billions of Qatari dollars, and brought about the 7.10 massacre, and why? A state commission of inquiry is supposed to answer these questions and more. In the meantime, we must not be misled by a security escalation initiated by the government of lies, abandonment and betrayal. Opposition leaders, do not be misled by a security escalation initiated by the person ultimately responsible for the 7.10 massacre, in order to mobilize patriotic sentiment before elections and make us forget his utter failure.
