Jihadi Arson Devastates Jewish Town
6d ago00:07:33Tap to summarizeOnce again, Jewish communities in Israel came under attack on Shabbat as jihadi arsonists targeted the community of Chavat Gilad in Samaria (Shomron). Families were forced to evacuate during the holy day as flames spread, with reports indicating that around 30 homes and businesses were destroyed. Israeli Police have detained two Palestinian Authority policemen in connection with the incident.In a separate incident, a jihadi woman was caught on camera attempting to ignite fires near a Jewish community in eastern Gush Etzion. Thankfully, that fire was contained before causing any damage to the Jewish community.These attacks are not isolated events. During Israel's dry summer months, arson terrorism has repeatedly been used as a low-cost but highly destructive tactic against Jewish communities throughout Judea and Samaria and other parts of Israel. This raises difficult questions about the ideology motivating these attacks and why peace has remained so elusive.In this video, Avi Abelow examines the broader context of these incidents, discusses the involvement of Palestinian Authority policemen in many attacks against Israelis, and explores the ideas of former Labor MK Einat Wilf, who has argued that modern Palestinian nationalism developed primarily to destroy the Jewish state of Israel, not around building an independent state for themselves.The video also reflects on the international reaction following the October 7 massacre, including the wave of pro-Hamas demonstrations seen in many Western cities, and asks what these events reveal about the challenges Israel faces both on the battlefield and in the battle of ideas.If you value honest analysis, historical context, and an unapologetic pro-Israel perspective, subscribe to Pulse of Israel, like this video, and share it with others.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
Transcribe →Israel Is Finally Undoing the Catastrophic 2005 Disengagement
1w ago00:05:54Tap to summarizeTwenty years after Israel uprooted Jewish communities from Gaza and Northern Samaria, history is taking a dramatic turn.In a landmark agreement signed in the presence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli government and the Samaria Regional Council have launched an 8.5 billion shekel plan to build 12,000 new housing units, along with commercial, industrial, and tourism infrastructure. The broader vision includes 18 new Jewish communities in Northern Samaria—including the rebuilding of the four communities destroyed during the 2005 Disengagement.At our recent Pulse of Israel Conference, we honored Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan with the Brave Leadership of Zion Award. Expelled from his home in Sanur during the Disengagement, Yossi transformed personal tragedy into a lifelong mission of rebuilding the Jewish heartland. Just last week, our Pulse of Israel Mission visited Sanur and Chomesh, witnessing firsthand this historic return.For many Israelis, October 7 confirmed that withdrawing from territory and empowering jihadist enemies does not bring peace—it invites more terror. The testimony of Be'eri survivor Avida Bechar, who lost his wife and son in the massacre, has reinforced for many the belief that the conflict is rooted in the rejection of Jewish sovereignty rather than borders alone.As Israel approaches another election, the future of Judea and Samaria has become one of the defining issues facing the nation. Will Israel continue strengthening Jewish communities in its biblical heartland, or reverse course?Watch this video as I explain why I believe the rebuilding of Northern Samaria is not merely another housing project, but one of the most significant Zionist developments in decades.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
Transcribe →Iran is Striking Its Muslim Neighbors. But not Israel
1w ago00:11:28Tap to summarizeThe war against Iran has entered a fascinating new stage, with the United States leading the escalation. The days of worrying about President Trump’s memorandum of understanding with Iran, promoted by the Vance-Witkoff wing, appear to be behind us. That deeply flawed arrangement was never going to last.Iran continued attacking commercial shipping and threatening American interests, causing the deal to collapse quickly. Now the United States is striking Iranian infrastructure, air-defense systems, coastal radar, missile and drone sites, logistics centers, naval vessels, Bandar Abbas port facilities, bridges, and the surveillance tower at Chabahar. A renewed American naval blockade is also isolating Iranian ports.Interestingly, Iran has launched missiles and drones toward American bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Qatar, and attacked UAE-connected vessels, but has so far refrained from firing at Israel. This hesitation suggests restored Israeli deterrence under Netanyahu’s leadership.For years Netanyahu was mocked for identifying Iran as the central threat. Yet under his leadership, Israel built the military, intelligence, and diplomatic foundations to confront the regime. He navigated complicated diplomacy with the Trump administration without public rupture, allowing Iran’s own behavior to destroy the flawed agreement.Netanyahu remains the leader best equipped to protect Israel. Recent statements by Gadi Eisenkot highlight how dangerous alternatives on the center-left would be.Strengthen your faith. Strengthen your support for Netanyahu. Governments matter, but our ultimate trust is in Hashem.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
Transcribe →The Red-Green Alliance Exposed: How the Far Left & Jihadists Target Israel and the West
1w ago01:20:58Tap to summarizeIn this powerful talk from his recent speaking trip to Britain, Avi Abelow delivers a hard-hitting explanation of the Red-Green Alliance that few dare to speak about. Why did the October 7 massacre, the worst atrocity against Jews since the Holocaust, not generate widespread sympathy and support for Israel and the Jewish people? Instead, it triggered an immediate explosion of pro-Hamas protests across the West on the very same day.Avi Abelow answers the two questions nobody is asking: How is the decades-old Red-Green Alliance between radical leftists and jihadists systematically destroying Western civilization? And why has it unleashed a tidal wave of raw, Jew-hating antisemitism following October 7?From the streets of London and other British cities filled with open support for Hamas, to campus hate and street violence exploding across America and Europe, Avi connects the dots with unflinching clarity. The “palestinian” cause, built not on nation-building but on the destruction of Israel, serves as the spearhead of this alliance. There is no desire for coexistence, only conquest.This is not random chaos. It is a coordinated, long-planned ideological war against the Jewish state and the very foundations of the West. Avi explains the harsh truths that the mainstream media and weak leadership refuse to confront: the jihadists living among us, the betrayal by so-called allies on the left, and the urgent need for moral clarity and strength.If you want to truly understand why Jew-hating antisemitism is skyrocketing and Western societies are unraveling before our eyes. this is the video you must watch.Subscribe for more uncensored Israel news, security analysis, and biblical heartland updates from Avi Abelow.

Transcribe →JD Vance Is Right About Trump and Dangerously Wrong About Israel
1w ago00:12:34Tap to summarizeDid Vice President JD Vance defend President Donald Trump from one of the biggest anti-Israel conspiracy theories, only to unintentionally fuel another?In this video, Avi Abelow breaks down Vance's recent Joe Rogan Experience interview, where he correctly rejected the claim that Israel manipulated or blackmailed President Trump into striking Iran. Trump made his own decision based on America's national security interests, not because of pressure from Israel.But Vance also accused "certain elements" within the Israeli government of conducting a well-funded influence campaign against the proposed U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding. Avi explains why those remarks are dangerous, how they risk legitimizing anti-Israel narratives spreading across both the progressive Left and the populist Right, and why public diplomacy between allies should never be confused with conspiracy.This analysis also examines the difference between legitimate Israeli security concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions, ballistic missile program, and terrorist proxies like Hezbollah, versus accusations that Israel seeks endless war. The video compares Vance's criticism with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's public opposition to the Obama-era JCPOA, discusses Secretary of State Marco Rubio's Israel-Lebanon agreement, and explains why many Israelis viewed the Iran memorandum as a strategic mistake.At a time when Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, Hamas, Qatar, and other jihadist forces continue threatening both Israel and the free world, words from American leaders matter. Allies can disagree, but they should avoid feeding narratives that America's and Israel's common enemies eagerly exploit.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
Transcribe →The Ultra-Orthodox Draft Rage
2w ago00:12:09Tap to summarizeThe Ultra-Orthodox Draft Crisis: Some of the Context the Media Isn't Telling YouShould ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) young men serve in the IDF? Yes. I believe military service in Israel is literally a milchemet mitzvah, both a moral and Torah obligation.So why am I criticizing the public conversation today surrounding the Ultra-Orthodox draft?Because without understanding the full context, Israel will never solve this issue.In this video, I explain why I opposed the recent Haredi draft legislation while also rejecting the one-sided media narrative that fuels anger toward the entire ultra-Orthodox community without explaining how we arrived at this point.I discuss:Why the recent draft bill represented a historic breakthrough.How repeated Supreme Court rulings contributed to the collapse of previous draft frameworks.That many Haredim who wanted to enlist after October 7 were turned away.The cultural shift taking place inside parts of the Haredi community that receives almost no media attention.How political campaigns from both the left and the Haredi leadership helped derail meaningful progress.Why sustainable integration requires trust, religiously appropriate military frameworks, and gradual societal change, not just court rulings, arrests, political slogans or laws.As someone personally involved in initiatives helping Haredi young men prepare for IDF service, I have seen firsthand that change is happening. It is not happening fast enough, but it is real. The question is whether Israel will nurture that momentum or sacrifice it for short-term political victories.This issue is too important to be reduced to slogans or exploited to divide the Jewish people.Whether you agree or disagree with my conclusions, I hope this discussion provides important context that is too often missing from the daily headlines.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
Transcribe →Historic Breakthrough: Netanyahu Greenlights Massive Expansion in Samaria
2w ago00:06:35Tap to summarizeHistoric News from Israel! Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Samaria Regional Council have signed a landmark framework agreement that marks one of the most significant developments in Judea and Samaria in decades.The agreement includes the construction of 12,000 new housing units, thousands of square meters of commercial, industrial, and hotel space, and an investment of 8.5 billion shekels. It is part of a broader vision to establish 18 new Jewish communities in northern Samaria, including rebuilding the four communities destroyed during the 2005 Gaza and Northern Samaria Disengagement.At our recent Pulse of Israel Conference, we honored Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, with our Brave Leadership of Zion Award. Expelled from his home in Sanur during the 2005 disengagement, Yossi transformed that personal tragedy into a lifelong mission to rebuild and strengthen the Jewish presence in our biblical heartland.Just last week, our Pulse of Israel Mission visited Sanur and Chomesh, witnessing firsthand young Jewish families returning to communities that once lay in ruins. For many Israelis, this represents the correction of one of the most consequential strategic decisions in Israel's modern history.Strengthening Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria is essential for Israel's long-term security, particularly after the October 7 Hamas massacre. Oct. 7th survivors such as Avida Bachar of Kibbutz Be'eri, has personally urged Israel to draw lasting lessons about our jihadi enemy and security from that tragedy.This video explores the historic agreement, why it as a major milestone, and why the upcoming elections will play a key role on the future of Judea and Samaria.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
Transcribe →Mamdani’s “Little Palestine” Map of New York
2w ago00:08:22Tap to summarizeNew York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration released and proudly promoted an official “New York City Immigrant Enclaves” map as part of a Neighborhood Passport tourism initiative. The colorful graphic highlights thirty neighborhoods representing the city’s “thriving international communities,” proudly labeling places such as “Little Palestine” in Bay Ridge, “Little Egypt” in Astoria, “Little Pakistan,” and multiple Chinatowns. Yet it conspicuously erases iconic Jewish neighborhoods, omits Little Italy, skips Irish enclaves, and ignores other historic communities that helped build New York.This isn’t just a tourism map, it’s a clear warning of Mamdani’s vision for the city. Critics rightly see it as a deliberate rewriting of New York’s immigrant story, elevating certain groups while airbrushing Jews and others out. Mamdani isn’t hiding anything. This reflects the path already seen in Paris, London, Malmö, and other European cities: parallel societies, no-go zones, Sharia patrols, and surging antisemitism.From France’s banlieues plagued by crime and Islamist influence, to Sweden’s troubled districts and London’s Tower Hamlets with reported Sharia zones, the pattern is unmistakable. The red-green alliance, progressive leftism and jihadi Islam is advancing openly in America’s greatest city.Jewish organizations that once prioritized universalist goodwill over Jewish survival are now facing the consequences. New York Jews and all freedom-loving New Yorkers must wake up before it’s too late. Until Western nations summon the courage to deport jihadis and reject Sharia supremacy, these cities will continue to decline.The future for the Jewish people is bright, in Israel. Aliyah is not fleeing in fear, but returning home to build and live freely as Jews in our ancestral homeland.Mamdani’s map is not destiny. It is a warning. The choice is ours.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
Transcribe →Israelis Want the Truth About October 7. Why Have Two Major Investigations Been Stopped?
2w ago00:20:56Tap to summarizeDo you know that while the mainstream media blames Netanyahu and his government for no October 7 investigation, two major probes were actually underway, only to be deliberately stopped by elements in the IDF and justice system?Important findings remain buried. Nearly three years after the October 7 massacre, Israelis still demand answers: Why no comprehensive public accountability for the worst security failure in Israel’s history?As a former IDF soldier who served in Gaza, Lebanon, and Judea & Samaria, I know basic border defense failed catastrophically. Warnings from female spotters were ignored, forces were pulled back from the fence until 9 a.m., the Air Force was absent in critical hours, and communities fought alone for hours, with amazing individual heroes, while senior command failed to respond.Why were two key investigations halted, one led by Brigadier General (Res.) Oren Solomon, and the State Comptroller’s audit blocked by the Supreme Court? What are senior military, intelligence, and justice officials hiding?This video exposes the cover-up, command failures on October 7, and the desperate attempt to avoid accountability at the highest levels. The Israeli people, victims’ families, hostages’ families, and every citizen deserve the full truth about October 7 intelligence breakdowns, operational collapse, and policy decisions.No more cover-ups. No more selective enforcement. Real accountability is essential for Israel to learn, rebuild trust, and prevent future catastrophes.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
Transcribe →Trump, Iran & Israel: Col. Richard Kemp On What’s Going On
2w ago00:20:44Tap to summarizeI always value the opportunity to speak with my friend, Colonel Richard Kemp, whose decades of military leadership and firsthand experience in global conflicts give him extraordinary insight into the threats facing Israel and the entire freedom-loving world.In this important interview, Col. Kemp analyzes the Iran situation, Israel’s military achievements, the danger of allowing the Islamic Republic time to rebuild, and what must happen next to ensure that Iran can never again threaten Israel with nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and its global network of terrorist proxies.This conversation took place shortly before Iran attacked ships, violating the memorandum of understanding and triggering a dramatic response from President Donald Trump. Following Iran’s aggression, Trump announced that the memorandum was effectively finished and that the ceasefire was over, as the United States renewed its attacks on Iranian targets.That sequence of events only makes Col. Kemp’s analysis more relevant.Iran has repeatedly demonstrated that it does not view negotiations, ceasefires, or international agreements as paths toward peace. The regime uses diplomacy to gain time, rebuild its military capabilities, strengthen its terrorist networks, and prepare for the next round of aggression.The central question has never been whether the Islamic Republic of Iran can be trusted. It cannot.The real questions are: Will President Trump continue enforcing consequences? Will the United States stand firmly behind Israel? And will Israel be given the freedom to finish the job if the Iranian regime continues rebuilding its nuclear and military capabilities?Watch this essential conversation for a clear-eyed assessment of Iran, Israel’s security, President Trump’s latest moves, and what may come next.Iran is weakened but the threat is not over.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
