קטע חמוד ממש
אחרי שחולץ משבי חמאס באחד המבצעים הגדולים שידעה מדינת ישראל (ארנון ז״ל), שלומי זיו היה כל כך בהיי שבמסוק הוא הדגיש ללוחמים שהוא שלומי מבין השלושה -הוא, אלמוג מאיר ג׳אן ואנדריי קוזולוב

A moment that captures how we all felt on October 7.
After clearing Kfar Aza of Hamas terrorists, a team of Israeli commandos entered a family’s home and found fresh challah rolls laid out on the table, waiting for Shabbat morning.
One of the soldiers broke down in tears, realizing the family would never gather at the table, join together, and eat them.
Three years of unimaginable loss and pain, but never forget how this war began.

TERRORIST: “Hello, dad! Dad, I am inside Mefalsim [Israel]—open your WhatsApp right now, and see all the killed. Look at how many I killed with my own hands! Your son killed Jews!”
FATHER: “Allahu Akhbar, Allahu Akhbar! May God protect you.”
TERRORIST: “This is inside Mefalsim, father. I am talking to you from the phone of a Jew—I killed her and her husband—I killed ten with my own hands.”
“Open your phone and see how many I killed, father. Open your phone, I am calling you on WhatsApp.”
FATHER: Crying (unintelligible).
TERRORIST: “I am in Meflasim, father. I killed ten! Ten! Ten, with my own bare hands! Their blood is on my hands! Let me talk to Mom—”
MOTHER: “Oh, my son, may God protect you!”
TERRORIST: “I killed ten all by myself, mother!”
FATHER: “May God bring you home safely.”
TERRORIST: “Father, go back to WhatsApp! I want to call you live from Mefalsim!”
MOTHER: “I wish I was there with you!”
TERRORIST: “Mother, your son is a hero. I was the first to enter under the guidance and with the help of Allah. Father, lift your head—lift your head!”
(Talking to terrorists on the scene: “Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them! Inside, inside, into the city!”)
BROTHER: “Mahmoud, Mahmoud. Come back [to Gaza]—that's enough, return.”
TERRORIST: “Return? There is no return—it is victory or martyrdom. My mother gave birth to me for Islam, Alaa. Are you serious? How will I return? Look at WhatsApp—look at your phone—look at all the dead.”

'We are children, both of our parents have just died'
Three years after Oct. 7, the Idan family releases the chilling call Michael, 9, and Amalia, 6, made to police after their parents were murdered in Kfar Aza. Their younger sister, Avigail, was abducted to Gaza.

Wow.
Not a miracle. It was awe-inspiring heroism and courage displayed during the attempt to hijack and crash Flydubai flight FZ1073 traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv, Israel.
Hero: pilot and Indian national Smit Machchhar, who was attacked with a knife by his Omani co-pilot. While fighting his attacker, he was able to notify the crew and passengers (possibly by hitting the PA button). Lying in a pool of his own blood and still fighting, he was able to allow access to the cockpit while the plane was taking a violent nosedive, losing 17,000 to 18,000 feet in about two minutes. He fought like a lion and deserves so much respect and honor. @IndiaToday @ndtv @gauravcsawant @ShivAroor
Heroes: the ordinary Israeli citizens who did not hesitate a second and jumped to assist the crew in fighting their way into the cockpit and subduing the co-pilot. This level of heroism and courage cannot be dismissed. People often miss that Israel has a citizen defense force made up of doctors, artists, college students, grandparents, business owners who all serve to defend their homes and nation against attacks by other nations, terrorist armies, and decentralized terror campaigns.
Heroes: the flight crew who joined the passengers to get into the cockpit, subdue the attacker, and manage the passengers and chaos throughout the cabin.
Heroes: off-duty pilots on board who were able to get the plane under control and safely land it in Saudi Arabia.
It takes a village/tribe/community to keep each other safe, with people willing to fight evil when it comes to their doorstep. I have huge respect for all involved in this event.

אסור לשכוח את גבורת הטייס שנאבק בעמיתיו המחבל והצליח לפתוח את דלת הקוקפיט.
HERO PILOT, Captain Smit Machchar, stabbed mid-flight on flydubai FZ1073, reportedly FOUGHT OFF the co-pilot and helped save 174 people.
One year ago he talked about how people often don't treat the cabin crew properly.
"When things are going wrong, you need them."

This video is probably the best explanation of Israeli people that I have ever seen. It’s Lior Raz, the Fauda actor, discussing his experience of coming back home to Israel on October 7 to help. But this is who they are as a people —

One of the biggest AI worries I hear in DC is its potential to let anyone create Walter White–style bio threats in their kitchen, with no way to stop them. Jake is building the solution to that.
1/ Biological threats can bring a country to a halt without a single shot being fired. Yet much of our biodefense infrastructure has barely changed in decades, even as America’s institutions produce extraordinary scientific breakthroughs.

Listen to this song, “Hashivenu” – “Turn Us Back to You.” Its words come from Lamentations 5:21, and it has recently become one of the most popular songs in Israel:
“Turn us back to You, O LORD, and we will be restored;
Renew our days as of old.”

I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.
