Dear frie

Dear friends,

Hanukkah and Christmas are both celebrated today. Every 14 years they fall together. Short of a miracle, this is therefore my last one...

In Hanukkah, Israelis and all Jews, celebrate the miraculous victory of the Maccabeans who rededicated the second temple in Jerusalem after fourteen years of battling the Seleucid Empire. This military victory celebrates freedom, religious freedom and resilience, what are no doubt by divine intervention.

A year ago, Israel was close to being annihilated by modern day "Seleucid" terrorism, namely Hamas, Hezballah, the Houthis in Yemen and others, all orchestrated and financed by the Ayatollahs of Iran. 

Not fourteen, just a short year later, Hanukkah's miracle is happening again, led by a modern day resilient Maccabean/Churchill named Benjamin Netanyahu, and performed by the brave soldiers of the Israeli IDF, the best military in the world (and do not forget the beepers...)

Hamas, Hezballah and their leaders are no longer. The Syrian Asad and his brutal regime are gone and Yemen and the Ayatollahs are on the very edge of the cliff.

The entire Middle East is being revolutionized and the entire world can breeze a sigh of relief.

Hanukkah this year is therefore the most significant Hanukkah since the Maccabees.

With all the joy in my heart, I wish you all, Jews and Christians, Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas. There is a lot for which to celebrate!!!!

FROM HILLEL FULD:

Hillel Fuld is an American Israeli technology business advisor, blogger, and vlogger. He focuses on the Israeli high tech industry, startup guidance, and marketing tips. He lost his brother Ari Fuld to a Palestinian terrorist in 2018. 

Just a few weeks ago, we had a strong enemy dedicated to our destruction with billions of dollars and an extensive military right on our border.

That enemy is literally no more.

Why is no one talking about what Israel has done since Assad’s evil regime fell just a few days ago?

I don’t think you understand what Israel has done. It’s absolutely historic. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that what Israel has done in Syria this week alone is infinitely more impressive from a military perspective than what Israel did in Gaza and Lebanon, combined!

The Syrian army, the Syrian navy, the Syrian Air Force, all gone. Totally and completely obliterated.  

Why Israel did this should be obvious but just in case, I’ll explain.

The fact that Assad’s regime has fallen is fantastic news. The big question mark though, is what will the rebels do once they stabilize their leadership in Syria?

I don’t think anyone has any illusions that they’ll reach out to Israel for peace. Israel has no illusions either and so the IDF has set out on an unprecedented operation to ensure that all of Assad’s military equipment, and I mean ALL OF IT, does not fall into the hands of the rebels.

The IDF has struck 320 strategic targets across Syria since the fall of the Assad regime over the weekend, in an operation called “Bashan Arrow.”

Targets included fighter jets, helicopter gunships, radars, air-surface missile batteries, ships, surface-to-surface missiles, rockets, weapon production sites, weapons warehouses, Scud missiles, cruise missiles, coastal missiles, and more.  

The strikes, which began Saturday night, aimed to prevent advanced weaponry from reaching hostile groups like Hezbollah.

This is all being done with ZERO resistance and Israel has eliminated the entire Syrian army, the army that attacked us in 67 and 73, the army that sent weapons and money to Hezbollah, the army that had nuclear aspirations, the army that had biological weapons it wasn’t afraid to use, the entire thing is gone. GONE.

350 Air Force fighter jets participated in the operation, which attacked 320 targets throughout Syria, from Damascus to Tartus.

Also worth mentioning that Israel has boots on the ground and Israeli tanks can allegedly be seen all the way from Damascus.

In other words, Israel has sent Syria back to the stone ages. It is now a small weak country. One week ago, I couldn’t even imagine this scenario.

Syria is now literally Gaza, maybe even less.  

Also important to remember that what the IDF has done here, in addition to everything we just mentioned, is that it isolated Hezbollah even more. Hezbollah is now totally choked from all directions.

Nasrallah, may he rest in pieces, famously said that if Syria falls, Hezbollah will fall. And he was right!

Now, what’s interesting is that the only thing we are hearing from Iran is crickets. Where are they? They have a big mouth. Where are they? Why are they not speaking up? Because they know they have just experienced a complete defeat. They know how weak they are.

They have no Syria left. They have no Hezbollah left. They have no Hamas left. They are on their knees and they know it.

Yes, Biden has sent them billions, that’s true, but no amount of money can revive them. Their tentacles have been cut off.

Iran built a terror infrastructure that surrounded Israel. They built it over decades. Their intentions were clear. That entire infrastructure is no more and they know it!

They also have zero aerial defense systems left. Or in other words, Iran is weak, naked, and totally vulnerable to what Israel is about to do next.

So what’s next?

I think all of this has taught us a few things.

Radical Islamic terrorism will always lose.

It is possible to bring a strong evil regime down from within.

When Israel knows what it needs to do, it does it better than ANY army in the world, with no exceptions.

Israel will deal with Yemen soon and then, once all the tentacles are cut off, Israel will go after the head of the snake and it’ll do so not only militarily but also diplomatically, and perhaps most importantly, Israel will topple the Iranian regime and its nuclear ambitions from within, using the millions of Iranians who love Israel and want to live in peace free of the evil regime that has hijacked their country.

Historic times, folks. Truly historic times.

You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried.

Israel still has some work left to do, and the IDF knows what it needs to do, how to do it, when to do it, and how to achieve the impossible.

Stay tuned, folks! Grab the popcorn.

Books will be written about what Israel has accomplished this past year. Military strategists will analyze this war and teach it in their military academies.

What Israel has done in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, and other fronts that are coming soon, no army has ever accomplished. Period. Full stop!
