“We are Israeli. We are here to rescue you!” Their captors had repeatedly told them that no one was coming for them. That everyone forgot all about them. One man 60 years old, the other 70, they were at the mercy of terrorists who had butchered their neighbors and taken them hostage – for food, … More We are here to rescue you!
Eliyahu Yossian is a man on a mission – waking up Israelis to the misconceptions that are endangering the survival of the Jewish State. The path to a secure future necessitates changing the mindset that led to the disaster of October 7th. The same mindset that for the past 30 years has led Israel to … More Iran 101: Into the mind of the enemy
Beautiful rolling plains, clear blue sky, and low unobtrusive houses. Spots of greenery, a step away from the desert. Just enough civilization to not feel lonely with open spaces that give the feeling of air. Freedom. Who wouldn’t imagine they had reached heaven? Residents of “Otef” Gaza, the Israeli communities near the border with Gaza … More 97% heaven
No father should have to bury his son. Osheri Moshe Butzchak was just 22 years old. His name means “My joy.” The eldest son, first grandson, the light of his father’s eyes, worshipped by his younger siblings. My camera could not take in a wide enough angle to show all the people who came to … More “Osheri, light of my eyes”

They know where the openings to their terror tunnels are, where there are weapons caches, and what is booby-trapped. And from what we are hearing, … More Hamas has the advantage
“So how are you?” It shouldn’t be frightening to ask such a banal question. In this case, I really wanted to know the answer, but I was also afraid to hear it. We were in kibbutz Nir David, in northern Israel, talking to two lovely teenage girls we met by chance. They were 12, maybe … More When “How are you?” becomes a difficult question
Israel was soft with Gaza so they assumed we have no honor. They broke into our homes, raped, tortured, burned, broke and butchered our people. And in between, they opened our refrigerators, sat down at our tables and ate our food. We don’t do all those horrible things. But we will prove to them and … More Nakba 2023
On Thursday, we went to pay our respects to the family of Cpl. Asif Luger, a 21-year-old soldier who was killed in action in Gaza. We didn’t know the family, but we went as Am Yisrael, a family that hadn’t met yet. We are the Nation of Israel. We too have sons in the army. … More Different parents, same desire
Before being fully awake, I found myself with tears streaming down my face. It’s an Israeli habit to check the news first thing in the morning, especially during a war. The news? Nine soldiers dead. Later in the day, the number would increase to thirteen. Helpless, I sat frozen. It is impossible to truly comprehend … More We are not the Jews of the Galut
The media, including the Israeli media, has depicted a tiny fraction of the horror perpetrated by Hamas. There are not enough words, images, or smells to convey the enormity of what happened (and is still happening as they continue to attack us). There are also not enough words to describe the heroism of the people … More This time we have Warriors of Zion on our side
