“Despite repeated IDF statements that there is enough equipment for everyone, the reports from frontline soldiers still persist, along with claims that what equipment they have been issued is frequently substandard and dangerous to use.

“Soldiers have shared videos showing equipment dated from the Vietnam era, damaged beyond use, or expired after many years in storage, and units from every part of Israel have circulated fundraising messages appealing for donations of every kind of clothing, equipment, and tactical gear, from socks to ground-penetrating radar arrays for drones

“Jewish communities and supporters from Israel from all over the world have risen to the occasion, and it is conservatively estimated that the total value of the donations to Israel has reached $1.5B. Israeli journalist Yinon Magal shared a photo of a soldier he received stating “Everything I am wearing, head to toe, was donated, with the exception of my rifle.”

“The commander of the Ground Forces is now promoting severe disciplinary measures for soldiers who received donated equipment, and in extreme cases, the Military Police Corps would be involved. This directive has been passed to the soldiers. Some units in the Paratrooper Brigade have already received warnings that they would be court-martialed if they took any item donated.”

Rabbi Weissman comments:

Brought to you by the same people who sank the Altalena and murdered their own people, the same people who brutally destroyed the Jewish communities of Gush Katif and many other places, the same people who forced poison shots on soldiers (and continue to do so), the same people who confiscated weapons from the communities that were massacred weeks before the massacre, and then stood down on October 7 for hours on end (but killed many of our own people in “operational failures”), the same people who are prosecuting soldiers who DIDN’T obey on October 7, and only about a zillion other crimes against the Jewish people.

This is what they are, and this is what they have always been.

Keep supporting the IDF, sheep, and keep demanding “haredim” are forced to join so they can get maimed and killed for nothing, too. That’s surely the answer.

Lastly, an important story with a moral:

On Shabbos morning a soldier who was injured in Gaza was invited to share his story after davening. He is a young married man.

He recounted that his unit was given a mission to conquer two buildings that were believed to belong to Hamas. One was a one-story building, like a villa, and next to it was a three-story building. The plan was to capture the smaller building first and then use it as cover to attack the larger building. First they would open fire with light weapons. Then they would fire something that makes a “boom” and causes the building to shake, causing any explosives inside to detonate. Then they would move in and capture the building.

The soldier said he was most worried about RPG’s and snipers shooting at his unit from a distance when they were exposed.

Why wouldn’t they just blow up the buildings from the air or from a distance and be done with it, without jeopardizing soldiers?

It seems the idea didn’t even occur to anyone.

Did they really believe hostages were inside? Did they really believe such valuable intelligence would be lost that it was worth sacrificing soldiers’ bodies and lives, and destroying their families, to preserve the buildings?

Soldiers are not allowed to ask these questions, unless they want to be hauled off to military prison and persecuted by the state they are “serving”. Better to play Russian Roulette with death traps. Better to believe your commanding officers are really on your side, not traitors, foreign agents, and useful idiots. Better not to think about it at all.

When they fired the “boom” the building went up in flames, so they wouldn’t be able to use it as cover, and were forced to change their plans. They would have to go after the second building on foot under much greater exposure. God forbid they just destroyed that building too. Preserving buildings in Gaza is more important than preserving Jewish cannon fodder.

While this soldier moved in, his friend next to him cried out that he was shot. The soldier turned to look, and this saved his life. No, his ear wasn’t grazed in just the perfect way to get an iconic photo without causing any damage like we’re supposed to believe about some menuval. He was shot twice and suffered serious injuries – but because his body was at an angle, both bullets went through his flesh and out the other side, instead of hitting internal organs. He was shot in the shoulder and the thigh area.

He went down and was bleeding heavily. His commander told him to get up and go, and he said he couldn’t, he was shot. Apparently the protocol in such situations is for the IDF to hold their fire lest they shoot their own, so they have to evacuate the wounded without cover (make it make sense). His friends managed to drag him and the other soldier back 15-20 meters under fire, until they had cover behind something the size of a table, and were able to get treated by medics.

Another soldier had a bullet go right through his helmet, in one side and out the other, without touching him.

The soldier related that he was evacuated to Sha’arei Tzedek Hospital by an American helicopter that was located at an American camp nearby. He said he will need a few months to fully recover from his injuries, but, thank God, he didn’t suffer any irreversible damage. He rightfully gave credit to Hashem for the many miracles that saved him that day, and the people in the shul applauded.

Of course, no one asked what the heck the American military is doing there. They certainly didn’t posit that the Americans are there to oversee the staged conflict, and work with both sides to lead God-fearing Jewish soldiers into carefully designed death traps under the pretext of important missions.

The conclusion we were supposed to draw from the story is that Hashem is doing miracles for us – and He is! But we have no right, let alone an obligation, to let our enemies lead us into gas chambers and ovens, and hope the death traps malfunction. How many more sacrifices until enough people wake up?
