the bread of freedom being sent to Gaza
Minister Meir Porush has petitioned the United Nations to send humanitarian aid to the hostages being held in Gaza.
Porush reached out to Tor Wennesland, the UN representative to the Middle East asking to send matza and wine as humanitarian aid to the 133 hostages being held in Gaza. Porush stressed the aid should be sent before Monday evening to ensure the hostages will be able to use it to commemorate the Pesach holiday, even if only in a symbolic way. Receiving such aid would also raise their spirits and help them withstand these difficult times while being held captive until they are released.
Porush did say that we are hoping and praying the hostages will be released by then, before the holiday, but in the case that they aren't, this aid should be supplied.

Even if the request should be accepted, they will get it like they got the medications that were sent in a few months back... and how likely is it that Hamas will give wine to the hostages? But at the end of the day, all we can do is try, so good on him for requesting it.
And hopefully the matza will be the bread of freedom for them and be the harbinger for their release quickly and in the very near future.

Haredi opinion on attacking Iran
I am not sure what the right move is in response to the Iranian attack on Israel this past Saturday night. I have heard, I think, all the possible options, and the logic behind each all make sense, so I dont know which of them is the better strategy. Once again, I thank God for it not being me who has to make this type of a decision.
With that caveat, I was surprised to see the following news item. Not because of what was said, but the fact that it was said at all.
The news is reporting that the Haredi representatives in the government have been polling the various leading rabbonim as to what the government should do regarding Iran and what they, the Haredi MKs and Ministers, should support or oppose.
A rundown brought by Kikar shows that MK Moshe Gafni is opposed to an attack on Iran by Israel, at least if not coordinated with the United States. Gafni says this is the opinion of Rav Dov Landau, and was also the opinion of Rav Shach. It seems the Gerrer Rebbe, the Viznitzer Rebbe also agree with this position. MK Aryeh Deri is also opposed to an attack on Iran.
While I havent seen Sefardi rabbonim quoted in this matter, other news media reported that Rav Moshe Maya when asked refused to give an opinion saying he does not understand these matters enough nor have enough information to offer guidance. In my opinion that is more impressive than the various rabbonim who are offering opinions (though maybe they have more information or understand on defense matters)..
So what is surprising about this?
The Haredi MKs used almost completely stay out of defense matters. They used to say that without them sending their kids to the army, they cant comment on these things. it is wrong, and it will also look bad that they are helping decide matters of defense and security that will mostly affect others but not them. It looks like that policy has changed.

protecting Haifa?
President Biden said last night that he warned Israel to not attack Haifa.
What does Biden love about Haifa so much that he feels he must intervene to protect it? And why is Israel attacking Haifa?
Maybe it is because Yona Yahav, the mayor of Haifa, just said the other day that he is planning on naming a new neighborhood in Haifa after Joe Biden - Ramat Biden or something like that. That was a smart move by Yahav, a strategic maneuver to protect Haifa from Israeli attack! by naming a neighborhood after Biden, he has guaranteed that Biden will help protect his city from Israel!
BIDEN: "I made it clear to the Israelis — don't move on Haifa!"

how many killed?
what do you think of this calculation and logic?
I have done some research on the true numbers in Gaza.
— Uri Pilichowski (@RationalSettler) April 17, 2024
Originally, the Hamas run Gaza Health Ministry published that 32,000 Gazan Palestinians had been killed by Israeli forces. Of these, they claimed that 78% were women and children, and none were combatants or members of… pic.twitter.com/P4Imd0nkM4

Tweet of the Day
If you wonder why Israel hasn't hit Iran yet, remember that Purim is approaching.
— Nick Griffin (@NickGriffinBU) April 17, 2024
This is when the Jews celebrate their escape from alleged persecution by the PERSIAN King Haman, and their bloody revenge.
Purim this year is 22-30 April, so that gives us the most likely date… pic.twitter.com/au5CcSIcSa

increasing awareness
Wow.
Rachel Goldberg-Polin was included in Time Magazine's list of 100 most influential people of 2024.
Hopefully it will increase awareness even more and help bring her son Hersh home from his captivity, being held by by Hamas in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

Picture of the Day
A storm or other severe weather in the Iranian island of Hormuz caused the Hormuz River to turn blood red.
This is pretty cool happening right as Pesach begins, and just after the Iranians shot rockets and drones at Israel. They should take it as a warning...
Not to be a killjoy but this seems to happen not too infrequently. The beach there is called Red Beach because of the red soil and sand. the sand/soil washed into the river because of the storm, turning it red. Despite all that, it is still cool, especially because of the timing.
And for the humorous perspective, perhaps the Mossad (hey, the Jews control the weather!), caused the storm and the subsequent event of the river turning red to send a warning to the Iranians...
