Gazans on the beach: Is this in real time or not?

 11 Nisan 5784 | י"א ניסן ה'תשפ"ד

 

I received a picture of Gazans on the beach yesterday from a friend. Later on I went to Arutz 7 (Israel National News) and found a whole article on it, and a video with the same scene, at Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip. 

I understand that a lot of Israelis are angry because it's a signal, among many, that we may have lost the war.

A big BUT here...what if the video is old? What if it took place elsewhere on the planet and has nothing to do with Jews or Israel?

 A commenter with the "handle" of "ForeverTruthVV" noted the following below the article (no editing on my part):

How do we know this video was even taken recently it could be one from years ago...I have a beloved who is over there right now today as a doctor and there is still Soldiers over there fighting. Now where this video came from I do not know but one thing I do know is that the War is NOT over yet. I don't know about you on this site but as for me I am sick to death of all the false information, lies, disinformation, etc etc etc etc etc.

Others have posted their doubts as well. We know that our enemies are really good and reliable about taking some still picture from elsewhere and writing a bad caption underneath that says that Israel did it to the Palestinians. It's been proven over and over again.

So, why not do the same with videos? Here's an example of one that was posted 2 (two) years ago (29 May 2021) and presented as though it's now, since the 7 October 2023 massacre (search). I'm sure there are a lot more where this one came from. This two-year-old video, used as a weapon in the current war, might be something to feel very negatively about.

It's just a question specifically about the video below, posted yesterday at this writing because I can't prove, right now, that this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that it was absconded from elsewhere, or further back in time, and captioned to attack Israel psychologically as an act of the current war. 

Here it is (39 seconds): 

and here's a YouTube search for this video among others like it. I didn't find it there.

Then I went to Google; Israel haYom originally posted it here yesterday, for our purposes. But who knows where they got it. The page says "Documentation: Hundreds of Gazans hang out on the beach in Deir al-Balah" in Hebrew. For their sake, I hope they aren't using sources who lie, as media often tend to do.

One big clue would be to find women dressed like people are used to seeing Muslims dressed; more believable. An even bigger clue, if the video was really taken in Gaza, is to find people in it — that knowledgeable sources know are dead — moving around, an indication that it was taken earlier than as presented. Especially people who were dead anytime before the October 7th/Shabbat Simchat Torah Massacre, accounting for times people are able to go to the beach there.

Alternatively, they recognize no one at all. In that case, we, the people, need to know where this was really taken so that we can shake off our anger over this video and put our energy into the things that matter right now.

I wish all my brothers and sisters here and all around the world a happy and kosher/kosher and happy Pesach (whichever you prefer), and that we will see a real change in the world where only good remains standing, even if Mashiah isn't identified yet because he hasn't actually done the things he's supposed to do before being accepted, or for some other reason.

The real miracle on 6 Nisan 5784 (April 14, 2024)

8 Nisan 5784 | ח' ניסן ה'תשפ"ד

 

Does anything seem wrong with the action in this video? Slow it down and see for yourself. H/t: Rivka

 Yes, there was an attack on Israel on the 6th of Nisan, two nights ago at this writing, by Iran, its first open full-on attack ever. And people are saying that there was a miracle that no Jews perished in Iran's attempt to wipe us out.

I agree that, indeed, there was a miracle. But I propose that it wasn't what people are thinking it was, as I'm writing. 

The attack was coordinated in advance between Israel and the US so that Israel wouldn't be hurt, which would have brought on an Israeli response that would have become a real war. This is why we are finding that the explosions in and around Israel that night didn't seem quite right to those who observed them carefully, both at the time they occurred and after the fact, even though they were quite real. 

But we have to ask the question of whether Iran is already prepared to attack again immediately, depending on if/how we respond.

So, what do you think the miracle was? you ask. 

The planning and the coordination of the 6th of Nisan attack, itself. The fact that HQB"H is so behind the scenes that He could put the thought into the minds of the plotters to perform a fake attack first, without them noticing. I think it would be the first time ever that a plot against the Jews would actually be hatched without the intention of hurting us! How amazing would that be?!

I wonder how they will respond to the thought, if they happen to read this article! I 'bless' all the plotters against Israel, that they will be as paranoid about their plans to rid the world of us as we've been about our victories and our right to our Land since at least 1967, and even more likely for the approximately two thousand years prior, since we were driven from here by the Romans.

R' Yitzchok Dovid Smith finished and published an article he's had in draft for years in response to this attack that probably explains all the wars in the Middle East since we've been here, never mind the recent fake attack from Iran. H/t: Neshama

Snippet: 

As Iran situation ‘escalates’ to really really get our full attention, it’s time to publish this so you can keep your head and heart above the deception.

It’s about Israel’s nuclear weapons.

The actual intended end game is Israel’s surrender of its land and its nuclear weapons.

...whether we have nuclear weapons or not.

The attempt on our government's part to draw our attention away from our real problem for decades so that Israeli Jews would fear and stay afraid all our lives, and go along with their agenda — which doesn't seem to include taking back all the territory that was ours before the Romans kicked us out, never mind receiving from HQB"H the rest of our inheritance according to the covenant He has always had with the nation of Israel — is also part of it all. 

Not to mention, scaring many exiled Jews away from aliyah. On purpose, I will add.

My people, DO NOT SURRENDER, no matter how afraid and weak you feel you are, or we are.

They all — friends, frenemies, outright enemies and our government — forget one important factor: that we have a GOD. We need to give Him the credit for all our past victories, including this past one, and call upon him NOW for the next one as well!

I love you, haShem! Thank You for all the miracles, including this one and the ones to come!!!

 Rosh Hodesh Adar Bet 5784 | ר"ח אדר ב' ה'תשפ"ד

 

The Simchat Torah massacre ("October Seventh") in 2023 started out as terrorists attacking civilians of all ages in what we Israelis call the "Gaza Envelope" in the most brutal ways possible. Readers, do you really need links for this from li'l ol' me?

Lately, more than 150 days (5 months) later, I've been hearing about our government's inconsistency with regard to dismissing our enemies' fellow Palestinians from working for us: Construction workers around the country have been laid off, excluded from Israel and replaced by people from India, Sri Lanka and Uzbekistan because of security concerns... 

but what about doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and more?

Not too far from me, Rav Amram Elhadad passed away (HEBREW) after being in Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem, Jerusalem for three days, exactly a week after his mother, Simcha Elhadad, at the same hospital. Here's a link to a video on Rabbi Batsri's Facebook page of her lighting tea candles carefully in her advanced age, with someone  announcing her death on 29 February 2024 (in HEBREW). I don't have Facebook, but it seems they've lightened up a little and I could get a link; not enough, however, that I could upload it here. I don't know how old she was at the time this video was originally taken.

Both of them got injected with drugs without their family's permission...by Arab Palestinian doctors and nurses. But the articles linked to above mention nothing about this. A Jerusalem WhatsApp connection is my source for this statement and for what follows; she was there at the funeral and spoke with family there.

My source wrote (emphases mine, as well as light editing for readability):

An important family of giants in Torah in Israel are asking to broadcast what is happening to their family.

The grandmother and her son died one week apart at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem after Arab doctors and nurses injected drugs without the family's permission last week.

The grandmother was alone only for ten minutes, and the Palestinian doctor called the daughter to ask if he and the Palestinian nurse could perform a medical procedure to remove liquid from her lungs. The daughter refused and ordered them to wait until she would arrive in 10 minutes. She arrived at the hospital exactly within 10 minutes of the conversation and found her mom in a coma. The Palestinian doctor said he already did the procedure to her mother and injected medicine for her not to "feel" the procedure. The mother never woke up and died three days later. I personally saw this woman for a blessing over two weeks ago in her home, 10 days from the time she died in the hospital, at the time she did not cough, was walking healthy. She after apparently had a small cough and the family took her to Hadassah Ein Kerem to get checked. That's when the Palestinian doctor injected medicine and claimed to remove liquid from her lungs. This procedure cannot normally be done in only 10 minutes and makes no sense. The mom was alone from her family only for 10 minutes and the daughter ordered the doctor to wait until she would be there to ensure that her mom would be safe.

At the levaya (funeral - HDG) last week all the Rosh Yeshivas, Rav Shlomo Amar, Rav Barkats were there. Her sons spoke at the levaya and explained how she died al Kidush Hashem for being murdered at the hands of the Palestinians doctor and nurse in Hadassah Ein Kerem in Jerusalem.

It was very difficult.

As soon as the Shiva (Jewish custom: seven days after someone passes away - HDG) finished this Wednesday, March 6, 2024, Thursday morning her son died also in Hadassah Ein Kerem.

He was admitted for dialysis with diabetes, a Palestinian nurse injected him with medication saying it was insulin without checking his sugar level when he was left alone for one hour on Monday. When his family came back to the hospital to be with him, he fell into a coma and never woke up, died yesterday morning, March 7th.

Following the injections in both cases, they went into a coma and died three days later.

My source asks and implores:

How is it possible that Palestinian doctors and nurses can still work in Jewish hospitals in Israel during WAR? How can Palestinian pharmacists still give "medication" to Jews in all pharmacies in Israel in times of WAR?

Our Jewish people find themselves DEPENDENT under the control of Palestinian doctors and nurses in all hospitals and pharmacies, and are dying!

 The Israeli government has replaced construction workers with Chinese, Indian and others, we see them in Jerusalem.

We call upon the Israeli government who must remove all Palestinian doctors, nurses, attendants, cleaners from the medical system, hospitals and pharmacists in Israel, it is URGENT.

From the liveblog of Sunday, 4 February 2024: Israel to bring in 65,000 foreign building workers to replace Palestinians

How inconsistent is this? How DANGEROUS is this? SURVIVORS WILL NOT FORGET OR FORGIVE if  you don't do as we, the people, request. After all, this is a democracy...isn't it? 

It wouldn't be any worse; in fact, it might be better if we were a Kingdom rather than a democracy. After all, it is our native governmental system.

Oh, and by the way: Two more of this family, Moshe Mordechai, 12, and Yosef David, 18, were killed on another horrible occasion: The Meron Disaster of May 2021. Would there be, by any chance, a connection between these events...?
