Jan Betlach ✡️ 🇮🇱

Jan Betlach stated that on October 10, 1960, then Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir offered Arab states negotiations with Prime Minister David Ben Gurion in New York or elsewhere, without preconditions. According to his contribution, she proposed discussions on peace, or at least on a non-aggression pact, specifically reaching out to Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Jordanian King Hussein, and the Lebanese Prime Minister. Betlach added that Israel, at that time, had a width of only 15 kilometers at its narrowest point due to the 1949 armistice, and the Arab states rejected the offer. One Western European delegate reportedly told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he hadn't heard a more reasonable proposal in a long time. Betlach wrote that Saudi representative Ahmad Shukairy used Nazi-related expressions twelve times in his subsequent reply and compared Meir to the Nazis. Five days later, according to his contribution, Nasser declared that Israel was trying to deceive world public opinion and that Egypt would never recognize the Jewish state. Shukairy later became the first chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization and drafted its charter, which, according to Betlach, rejected a Jewish state in any borders. Betlach concluded that Meir was only requesting a meeting but was rejected and made the target of comparisons to perpetrators of the murder of European Jews. #historie #BlízkýVýchod #mír (translated)

Jan Betlach compared the situation surrounding Zohra Mamdani to the statement about a revolution that devours its children. He wrote that the Girondist Vergniaud made this statement in 1793, and a few months later he ended up under the guillotine. Betlach stated that Mamdani had a stone-faced expression when pro-Palestinian people screamed at him that he is a traitor and a sellout. He claimed that Mamdani previously fostered their hatred, chanted their slogans, and built a career on their anger. According to Betlach, he was now labeled a traitor after failing to meet their expectations once. #revoluce #historie #politika (translated)

Jan Betlach recommended a video from the account MorEdge_Insight, which he believed explained why the accusation that Israel was founded on "stolen land" was incorrect. He claimed that this criticism more accurately pertained to Jordan. Betlach stated that after World War I, Britain received the mandate territory of Palestine, where a Jewish national homeland was supposed to be established while protecting the rights of other inhabitants. In 1922, according to him, Britain separated about 77 percent of the territory, closed it to the Jews, and handed it over to Abdullah, the prince of Hejaz, which is today part of Saudi Arabia. He claimed that Abdullah had no relation to Transjordan and that his appointment to the throne was imposed by the British after France expelled his brother Faisal from Damascus; the League of Nations merely approved this formally, according to him. He described Jordan as a state created on territory taken from the mandate and ruled by a foreign dynasty. He added that the UN in 1947 recommended dividing the remaining 23 percent of the mandate territory west of the Jordan River, with the Jews accepting the plan and the Arabs rejecting it. Betlach asserted that Israel did not steal any land, whereas Britain divided the territory, and Arab states subsequently invaded the remainder. He argued that the accusations should be directed at Britain and Jordan, not at Israel. https://t.co/ugceLv8fS3 #Izrael #Jordánsko #historie (translated)

Jan Betlach described the story of the crews of the 118th squadron from the morning of October 7, 2023, which he claimed originated from the Israeli Air Force. Four Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters left the Tel Nof base with the mission to transport paratroopers to the border with Gaza. Each carried approximately 50 soldiers, more than usual, and the crews, according to Betlach, did not receive air cover because other aircraft were protecting the border fence. Near the kibbutz Alumim, the lead helicopter spotted men on motorcycles, whom the crew deemed likely Palestinian terrorists. While attempting to land elsewhere, the aircraft was hit and made an emergency landing. The onboard mechanic, according to Betlach, manually opened the back doors, and all approximately 50 soldiers exited unharmed. The second helicopter dropped off its soldiers and waited while gunfire and mortar shells fell on the crew. The crew of the hit aircraft ran across open terrain to it; shortly after, their abandoned helicopter was struck by another rocket. Betlach reported that the second pilot had a gunshot wound to the leg, and something was leaking from the tail of the second aircraft. The wounded pilot, according to him, returned to the cockpit a few hours later, and the paratroopers continued to engage in fighting near Beeri and Alumim. #Izrael #armáda #konflikt (translated)

Jan Betlach referred to a man from Gaza as a "journalist" and claimed that there are many similar contributions from Palestinians. According to him, their authors are now celebrating the massacre and the following day will again mourn and portray themselves as victims. #Gaza #Palestina #Žurnalismus (translated)

Jan Betlach criticized people who, according to him, did not distinguish between Hamas members and others when assessing the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza, claiming that on October 7, only Hamas attacked, not Palestinians. He stated that other Palestinian jihadist and terrorist groups, as well as ordinary Palestinians from Gaza, were also involved in the attacks in Israel. Some pro-Palestinian contributions commemorating the anniversary of the attack, he noted, reminded that Hamas killed nearly 1,200 Israelis but then spoke of the genocide of Palestinians and shifted the blame to Israel and Jews. Betlach accused the authors of exploiting the anniversary to repeat lies, concluding his post with a vulgar message to Saša. #Izrael #Palestina #Hamás (translated)

Jan Betlach dedicated a contribution in memory of the Bibas family. He wrote that he was thinking of Kfir, Ariel, and Shiri, and with deep admiration also of Yarden, whose strength to keep going he could not imagine. He added that he will always have the family in his heart and expressed deep sorrow over them. https://t.co/zFIQytQiiS #Památka #Rodina #Vzpomínka (translated)

Jan Betlach wrote that the video with six-year-old Romi deeply affected him every time. According to his description, Hamas murdered her parents Odaya and Doleva Suiss. Her father was shot while fleeing and died the same day in the hospital; her mother was shot in the car along with Amer Abu Sabil, who was trying to take them to safety. Betlach stated that Romi pulled her three-year-old sister Liu down to the floor of the car, covered her with a blanket and her own body, so the gunmen would not notice them. When other men approached them later, she begged them not to kill her or her sister. After hearing Hebrew, according to Betlach, she asked if they were police officers from Israel. When they confirmed, she asked them to take them with them. Both girls were rescued. Betlach added that Romi's broken voice echoed in his ears. https://t.co/BabRTI0qCr #Romi #Zachrana #Humanita (translated)

Jan Betlach stated that Naama Abu Rashid was, in his opinion, the youngest known victim of the massacre on October 7th and lived for 14 hours. Her mother, Sudjúd, an Israeli Bedouin in her ninth month of pregnancy, according to his post, was traveling with her husband in labor pains to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba when their car was fired upon by Palestinian terrorists at the Magen intersection. Sudjúd was hit in the stomach, and the child was injured even before birth. According to Betlach, doctors tried to save both the mother and the child; Naama was born alive but died after 14 hours. Betlach claimed that the attackers did not care that the family was Arab and Muslim, nor that Naama was a newborn. He urged people to remember her name when commemorating the victims of October 7th. He marked the post as another part of a series about the actions of Palestinian terrorists. #Paměť (translated)

Jan Betlach wrote that Chen Kugel, head of the Israeli National Center of Forensic Medicine, described previously unpublished findings from the autopsies of the victims of the October 7 attack after nearly three years. According to Betlach's contribution, the center's workers found intentionally mutilated bodies, tied and executed individuals, and decapitated victims, including children. Soot in the airways of some victims, according to Kugel, indicated that they were burned alive. Kugel stated, according to Betlach, that the attackers first shot a girl around twelve years old in the head and then decapitated her. He also mentioned foreign workers who, according to him, were found locked in a room with gunshot wounds to their legs and left to bleed out. Different methods of killing at various locations, according to Kugel, indicated a premeditated plan. In one bunker, the attackers used flammable substances, while elsewhere they murdered tied individuals and mutilated bodies both before and after death. In the weeks following October 7, the center received about 3,000 bags, mostly containing body parts and burned bones, according to Betlach. The forensic team gradually identified all the murdered individuals, including a young woman from the Nova festival. Her remains, according to the report, were burned in an ambulance hit by a grenade, and identification was made possible by DNA found on her pendant. Betlach also stated that the work had mental repercussions on Kugel and other workers at the center. According to him, Kugel developed post-traumatic stress disorder. https://t.co/TnENwfdS30 #Izrael #masakr #forenznívěda (translated)

Jan Betlach wrote that channels linked to Hamas circulated previously unreleased footage of Yahya Sinwar from before his death. According to him, Sinwar was in the Rafah area with members of Hamas's military wing, who were also later killed. Betlach questioned whether the footage demonstrated heroism. He stated that Sinwar was crawling among the rubble in clothing reminiscent of that worn by a homeless person, for which he believed Hamas bore responsibility, and he described Sinwar's death with a degrading comparison. He characterized the footage as further evidence that Hamas is, in his view, a jihadist cult of death. https://t.co/U5fNokxwM6 #Hamas #JahjáSinvár #konflikt (translated)

Jan Betlach wrote that the head of military intelligence, Major General Shlomi Binder, told the Israeli security cabinet yesterday that of the 6,000 people who crossed the border from the Gaza Strip into Israel on October 7, Israeli forces have eliminated 4,000 of them according to him. The remaining 2,000 will be dealt with according to Binder. https://t.co/UxHbuoR486 #Izrael #bezpečnost #vojenskározvědka (translated)

Jan Betlach wrote that the faces of the victims shone on Times Square in New York almost three years after October 7. He noted that they were children, parents, siblings, friends, and loved ones, whose lives and futures, he claimed, were stolen by Palestinian terrorists led by Hamas. He wrote that more than 1,200 people were murdered and 251 were kidnapped. He added that next week marks three years since October 7, and that the memory of the victims should not be limited to anniversaries. https://t.co/bOkiYno6kB #Památka #Nezapomeneme #Životy (translated)

"And the worst part is that the perpetrators of these acts will never face any consequences. I've had enough of the images of destruction that are a symbol of a cowardly state that lacks the courage to act decisively against them." "This is today's France. And some try to excuse it by saying that they are just 'dissatisfied students'." #Francie #násilí #společnost (translated)

So it turns out that Israel provided the UK with detailed intelligence about Iran's plan to attack the RAF Fairford base. And what did the Labour government do in return? It announced sanctions against Israel, and its foreign minister gave a hostile speech shortly after shaking hands friendly with a representative of the Iranian terrorist regime. https://t.co/J9JqRhmrCQ #Izrael #Írán #sankce (translated)

This is Doctor Shota Musajev, an Israeli dentist, who ran to the cockpit of Flydubai flight FZ1073. First, he got involved in a struggle with the attacker, then he saved the life of Captain Smit Machchhar after the co-pilot stabbed him during the flight. Wishing a speedy recovery to the injured Indian captain, and a deep bow to the Israeli dentist. #hrdina #zdravotnictví #letadlo (translated)

The captain of the Flydubai flight, Smit Machchhar, managed to open the cockpit doors despite stab wounds. Israeli passengers were able to get inside and overpowered the co-pilot. Janiv, who subdued the terrorist, described to Netanyahu what followed: “I pulled the controls towards me and stopped the aircraft's rapid descent. Fortunately, thanks to the series Air Disasters, I had at least some experience with aviation.” On every flight to Tel Aviv, there are at least five Israelis who believe they could pilot the plane better than the pilot. Today, one of them finally made it into the cockpit. https://t.co/fkvNPDPAuU #LeteckáKataStrofa #Flydubai #Izrael (translated)

"We have the terrorist under control. We are heading for landing." "Stunning footage from the FlyDubai flight, in which Israeli passengers overpowered and subdued the second pilot, who allegedly tried to hijack the plane and deliberately crash it. They also took care of the injured captain." "Incredible heroes who prevented a disaster 🫡💪" "More in the quoted thread 👇" #terorismus #letadlo #hrdinství (translated)

Attack in the cockpit of a flight to Tel Aviv: the second pilot stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the plane. Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv turned into a dramatic security incident on Wednesday morning, which Israel considers a terrorist attack after evaluating the situation and testimonies from passengers. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 with Israeli passengers activated emergency code 7500 during the flight, used to signal unlawful interference with flight operations. Shortly thereafter, the aircraft sharply descended about 5,500 meters in one minute. According to current findings, the second pilot repeatedly stabbed the captain. A struggle for control of the aircraft then broke out in the cockpit. Crew members and several passengers managed to breach the cockpit, overpower the attacking pilot, and stabilize the aircraft. Coincidentally, there was also an additional crew of pilots on board who assisted in intervening and subsequently controlling the aircraft. A high-ranking Israeli official stated that the second pilot is now being interrogated, and there are increasing indications that he intended to take control of the aircraft and crash it with passengers on board. According to him, only a combination of circumstances and a quick response prevented a catastrophe. The aircraft subsequently deviated from its original route and landed safely in Tabuk in northwestern Saudi Arabia. Flydubai confirmed the in-flight incident and stated that all passengers are safe. The case has triggered a widespread security response in Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant convened security consultations, and the IDF Chief of Staff met with the heads of Shin Bet and Mossad. Israel is preparing for all possible scenarios. #bezpečnost #terorismus #letectví (translated)

„Vezměte si naše zlato, ale ne naše Židy.“ Takto zní tradované albánské vyprávění o odpovědi nacistům, kteří v roce 1943 požadovali seznamy Židů. V Albánii, zemi s muslimskou většinou, žilo před válkou přibližně 200 Židů. Na jejím konci jich bylo více, protože se zde ukryly stovky židovských uprchlíků z Německa, Rakouska, Řecka a okupovaných částí Jugoslávie. Za jejich záchranou stál mimo jiné starobylý albánský kodex cti zvaný besa, tedy dodržení daného slova. Kdo překročí práh vašeho domu, není cizinec, ale host. A hosta je třeba chránit i za cenu vlastního života. Do záchrany se zapojovali muslimové i křesťané. Úředníci vystavovali falešné doklady, rodiny ukrývaly Židy ve svých domovech a pomáhaly jim najít útočiště na venkově. Téměř všichni Židé, kteří se během německé okupace nacházeli na území Albánie, holokaust přežili. Jad vašem dosud uznal 75 Albánců jako Spravedlivé mezi národy. #Besa #Holocaust #SpravedlivíMeziNárody
