Rescue missionIt was around 4 p.m. when Menachem Klemenson got a four-word WhatsApp message from his brother Elhanan: “Packing, going down south,” it read. As the Klemensons and their nephew drove around extracting families, kibbutz residents jumped out of their hiding places. I am a father.”In the girl’s case, as with the bodies of other kibbutz residents the trio found, they did not know their identities, nor was Reuters able to identify them. “Either you leave the dog or I shoot it,” Menachem recalls his brother Elhanan saying. Politicians and the military had violated a fundamental compact with the residents of Be’eri, said kibbutz secretary Pauker.

Opinion | Israel Is Silencing Internal Critics

Freedom of political expression in Israel with regard to the Israeli-Arab conflict, especially with regard to Israeli policy toward Palestinians, has always been precarious, especially for the Palestinian citizens of Israel. It shouldn’t be surprising: In societies that contain widespread nationalistic tendencies, as is sadly the case in Israel, war and national tragedies create the perfect environment for witch hunts and the accelerated branding of critics and minorities as enemies from within. The suppression of speech and targeting of critics of Israel’s policy toward the conflict has always had a strategic goal. Crushing dissent and eliminating the political force of Palestinian citizens of Israel are crucial conditions that must be met to achieve that goal.

CNN —Israel has declared war on the Palestinian militant group Hamas after it carried out an unprecedented attack by air, sea and land on Saturday. Israel has pledged that Hamas will pay a heavy price and may now be preparing a ground incursion into Gaza. There, Hamas gunmen killed hundreds of people, including civilians and soldiers, and took hostages, sometimes from their homes. While Hamas has kidnapped Israelis before, it has never before taken dozens of hostages at once, including children and the elderly. On Monday, however, Iran’s mission to the United Nations said that the Islamic Republic was “not involved in Palestine’s response,” referring to the Hamas attack.
