The Greatest Jewish Transformation in 2,000 Years
The Jewish people are living through one of the greatest transformations in our 2,000-year history.In this powerful talk at the 4th Annual Pulse of Israel Conference, held at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem in July 2026, Pulse of Israel founder Avi Abelow explains the historic shift taking place from victims to victors.For generations, Jews lived as a persecuted and powerless minority, dependent upon the goodwill of foreign rulers for our survival. Today, we have returned to our God-given, indigenous, ancestral homeland. We have sovereignty, an army and the ability to defend Jewish lives.Yet too many Jews still think and speak from the mindset of exile, constantly apologizing, seeking approval and allowing our enemies to define the narrative.That must change.October 7 brought unimaginable pain, but it also accelerated a profound Jewish awakening. Israelis rediscovered faith, identity, unity and national purpose. Soldiers entered battle with Torah, tzitzit and an extraordinary understanding that they were fighting not only for Israel today, but for generations of Jewish history.Avi challenges Jews and Israel supporters to stop approaching the world merely as victims asking for sympathy. We must proudly tell the truth, identify the evil confronting us and recognize the miraculous redemptive process unfolding before our eyes.This is not only a military struggle. It is a battle over Jewish identity, historical truth and the future of Western civilization.We are not merely studying Jewish history anymore. We are making it.Watch, share and join Pulse of Israel in strengthening Jewish pride, defending Israel with unapologetic truth and helping our generation move from victims to victors.Strengthen your faith in Hashem. Recognize the historic times we are blessed to live through. Accept your role in the Jewish people’s unfolding redemption.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/

It’s Time for Jews to Go on Offense
For nearly three years I refused to spend every day chasing the latest lie about Israel. Not because the lies don’t matter. Because the Jewish people cannot win if we live forever in the defendant’s chair.In Hebrew, the word "Hasbara" is used when defending Israel. But that is the problem, it is defense. Pulse of Israel chose offense.Since October 7 Israel has been fighting a jihadi enemy that massacred families, burned people alive, kidnapped children, raped women, and celebrates murdering Jews. Not only Hamas in Gaza. Hezbollah in Lebanon. Houthis in Yemen. Jihadis in Judea and Samaria. A 1,400+ year jihad now backed by Iran, Qatar, and Turkey.While we fight that war, Western media, campuses, NGOs, and activists folded every allegation, famine, hospitals, aid, journalists, children, into one word: genocide. Holocaust inversion. Jews worldwide were assaulted, cancelled, and intimidated. Then contrary evidence appeared. The megaphone went quiet. Almost no corrections. Almost no apologies.Belgian philosopher Maarten Boudry documented that collapse. He paid for it: cancelled lectures, withdrawn invitations, attempts to get him fired. Liberal democracy is supposed to answer claims with evidence. Not with a mob.Expose every falsehood. Demand accountability. Then get off the stand.October 7 told us who the enemy is. Believe them. Israel did not choose that massacre. Once they chose war, the Jewish state had a duty to defeat those who hunt Jews.We will not apologize for IDF soldiers killing jihadis, destroying terror infrastructure, or defending Jewish families. We are home. We are sovereign. We have an army.The red-green alliance - radical progressives plus jihadi movements - is now inside the West. Israel is the front line, not a side story.The deeper victory is not only military. It is Jewish pride, identity, homeland, and faith in God. That awakening is already happening in Israel.Join Pulse of Israel. Share this. Strengthen the connection to our people, our land, and God.

Israel Elections 2026: Yishai Fleisher Speaks for Otzma Yehudit - No Filter
Pulse of Israel will be sitting down with representatives from the various lists running in Israel’s 2026 elections, not to play studio referee, but so Israelis and our allies abroad can hear, in their own words, who intends to lead this country, what makes them unique, and what they will actually do in the Knesset.Avi Abelow sat down with Yishai Fleisher, international spokesman for Hebron, city councilman in Efrat in Gush Etzion, and now a candidate for the Knesset on Otzma Yehudit, the party led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.Fleisher walks through some of Otzma Yehudit’s record in government over the past 4 years: law and order, the fight against terrorism, and refusing the language of apology that treats Jewish presence in our heartland as a public-relations problem. He talks about Itamar Ben-Gvir as he knows him, not the soundbites sold by Israeli and foreign media. Why Ben-Gvir is misunderstood, what the attacks on him are really for, and why a Hebron spokesman and Efrat councilman would put his name on that ticket.We also get out of the campaign studio and onto the mountain. Fleisher just took part in a historic visit to the Temple Mount / Har HaBayit on Rosh Hashanah, including the blowing of shofars and Temple trumpets in a way not experienced since Temple times, more than 2,000 years. That is not a side note. It is the same argument as the election: the Jewish people are not guests in Jerusalem, and geulah/redemption is not a metaphor.If you care about Israel elections 2026, Otzma Yehudit, Ben-Gvir, Hebron, Efrat, the Temple Mount, Jewish identity, and whether Israel leads or copies a collapsing West, watch the full interview.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/

This Is What Winning Looks Like: Israel Just Approved a New City in Samaria
The other day, the government of Israel approved the building of a new city in the Shomron to be called SHIRA, on Highway 5, east of Rosh HaAyin, on the way to the city of Ariel. Tens of thousands of apartments will be built. On 9,500 dunams of land that will be home to over 100,000 Jews. Eastern Gush Dan. Half an hour to Tel Aviv. Next to the train.This didn’t happen by accident.Smotrich and Netanyahu. A partnership that has totally changed the map of Israel like never before. Approved over 100 new communities in Judea and Samaria. New cities. Around 160 farms reclaiming the land, stopping the illegal Palestinian Authority land grab backed by EU funding. What used to take twenty years now happens in weeks. Now Smotrich has announced doing the same thing in the Negev and Galil, two areas the Arabs have been taking over, making Jews the minority, with no government pushback. He will finally take care of that too. Anyone who knows the government bureaucracy, and the deep state power that has allowed the Arab takeover of the Galil and Negev, understands how many roadblocks Smotrich has to overcome. That is the revolution. That is the vision becoming facts on the ground.And it will stop the second Israelis hand the keys of government back over to deep state powers on the political left, today being led by Eizenkot.After October 7, after the massacre, after Nova, after the country burned, too many Israelis are still ready to vote for the bloc that would make Gadi Eisenkot prime minister. The same man who, as IDF Chief of Staff, hollowed out the army and sold the country the religion of containment, belittled the Jewish concept of rising up to kill those who want to kill you, and “quiet will be met with quiet.” That doctrine didn’t give us peace. It gave our enemies years to train, tunnel, arm, and walk into our homes.Eisenkot is not a leader; he’s a product. No spine, no charisma, no new thinking since October 7. Just the deep state’s latest packaged “savior,” sold to the public as the great hope for replacing Netanyahu.You don’t honor the murdered by putting the architects of weakness back in charge.You honor them by finishing the job: more cities, more farms, more Jews on the high ground, an army that deters instead of manages.Smotrich and Netanyahu delivered the building. The other side delivered the conception.If you want Shira and the next hundred communities, they need the votes. Momentum like this is a miracle. Stopping it would be a crime.Share this. The land is being built. We can’t hand the country back to the same political left security leaders who preached and practiced appeasement and failed us miserably. We need leaders who know we are facing a jihadi enemy and who have the vision to strengthen a proud Jewish State of Israel.These are redemptive times. We are living miracles in real time. There will still be ups and downs, but the trajectory is up and up, and it is breathtaking.Strengthen your emunah in Hashem. Follow me at the Pulse of Israel and share these truths. Vote with that clarity in the coming elections.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/

Jew-Hatred Is Going Mainstream in the Democratic Party
Wake up, Jewish Democrats.Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, herself Jewish, told the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus that Jews have “a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival.”That was not abstract ethics. The political context was November and the U.S. Senate race: pressure on Jews uneasy about Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, and tempted by Republican Mike Rogers. El-Sayed’s Israel record, and his “hurt people hurt people” line after the March 2026 terrorist attack on Temple Israel outside Detroit, already alarmed many Jewish Democrats.Nessel went further. Invoking Queen Esther, she suggested Jews may have to “sacrifice the comfort, safety and security and even the very future of our own people” to save humanity. She asked what good it is to defend Israel “if the planet upon which it rests is no longer inhabitable,” then: “Come November, what do your Jewish values tell you to do?”Esther risked herself to save the Jewish people. She did not risk the Jewish people to keep a party coalition intact.For too many Jews, Democratic affiliation has replaced Judaism as a civilization - Torah, peoplehood, history, Eretz Yisrael, continuity - with a universalist politics branded as tikkun olam. Caring for humanity is Jewish. Sacrificing Jewish survival is not. Ignoring Jew-hatred in party leadership is not a mitzvah.Nessel even admitted there are people in her camp who “seek the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state and place the Jewish diaspora in jeopardy.” Her conclusion was still: survival can come second.That is how Jew-hatred goes mainstream, when anti-Zionism is treated as morality, when the Red-Green alliance of the radical left and jihadi politics uses “Palestine” as the gateway, and when Jewish officials help sell it as Jewish values.Jewish survival is not selfish. Defending the only Jewish state is not selfish. Fighting antisemitism in your own party is not selfish.Wake up, Jewish Democrats. History has given enough warnings.

America & Israel are Fighting the Same Deep State Battle
America and Israel are fighting the same battle: elected governments versus unelected power. A recent Washington Post report says senior U.S. commanders warned Secretary of War Pete Hegseth that renewing war with Iran would be “unsustainable.” Commanders should give candid private advice. The scandal is leaking that advice to pressure the elected leadership.America remains the most powerful military on earth. Costs must be explained. Policy is still decided by voters and the president they chose — not by officials who think their judgment should override an election.Israelis know this fight. For years, figures in the legal, security, intelligence, and bureaucratic establishments have blocked government policy while selective leaks shape the headlines. That pattern helped produce October 7: warnings withheld from Netanyahu, legal constraints slowing the response, then almost no accountability for the officials who failed. Terrorists must be punished. So must the officials who left Israel exposed.The mindset is the same in Washington and Jerusalem: voters don’t understand, elected leaders can’t be trusted, the professionals must save the country from itself. That is not democracy.Trump is the first U.S. president to confront this institutional power head-on. Netanyahu’s government is doing the same in Israel. The ferocity of the resistance is a sign the establishment feels threatened. In Israel it is no longer even “deep.” The Supreme Court shielding a fired attorney general and a former Military Advocate General after a damaging IDF leak; delayed October 7 investigations; religious soldiers punished while senior commanders walk away — the contradictions are now public.Meanwhile media and institutions obsess over “settler violence” and religious soldiers, while downplaying the 1,400-year jihadi ideology that murdered Jews on October 7. A Jewish majority wants national identity, victory over jihad, and government by election. That clashes with a globalist establishment that treats Jewish nationalism as a problem to restrain — including the idea of depending again on Ra’am.The question is simple: do voters control America and Israel, or do unelected establishments veto results they dislike? Judicial reform in Israel is about restoring democracy. Don’t despair. Vote for parties that will neuter the deep state. Strengthen your faith.

Gaza emigration, Ben-Gvir, Rafah, Egypt, October 7, and Israel’s Gaza strategy
Interior Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir just put Gaza emigration at the center of Israel’s election debate, declaring: “It is time to admit it: Gandhi was right.”He was referring to former Israeli general and minister Rehavam “Gandhi” Ze’evi—and unveiling his new Gaza emigration proposal, “Disengagement 710.”Ben-Gvir deserves credit for forcing Israel to confront a question almost everyone avoided before October 7: What happens to Gaza after this war, and how does Israel guarantee that another October 7 massacre can never happen?His plan reportedly envisions encouraging the jihadi Gazans to voluntarily emigrate, establishing a dedicated government ministry, negotiating with destination countries, and providing financial assistance for relocation.I support putting voluntary Gaza emigration on the table.But Israel cannot wait seven years.In this video, I explain why I believe the United States should use its enormous leverage with Egypt to push Cairo to open the Rafah crossing to Gazan civilians who voluntarily want to leave the war zone.Get civilians who want to leave out of the battlefield. Allow the IDF to defeat the remaining Hamas and jihadist forces. Permanently demilitarize Gaza. Maintain Israeli security control so Gaza can never again become a terrorist army sitting alongside Israeli communities, and make Gaza Jewish again.For decades Israel was sold different versions of the same failed strategy: withdrawals, deterrence, economic incentives, stronger fences and “managing Hamas.”October 7 shattered that conception.The Gaza debate must now be about solutions that prioritize Israeli lives and prevent another massacre, not rebuilding the conditions that produced October 7.Ben-Gvir has started an important conversation.Now Israel must decide how quickly it is prepared to act.Gaza emigration. Rafah. Egypt. Hamas. October 7. Israeli security. The future of Gaza.Watch, share, and join the conversation.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/

Before You Believe the “Settler Violence” Headlines, Watch This
This other week, the jihadi village of Qusra was back in the news with the same dishonest script: Jews blamed, “settler extremists” accused, Jewish self-defense treated as the scandal. That framing is a lie. Jihadis attacked Jews. Jews retaliated. The media and too many Israeli officials still blamed the Jews.In this video Avi Abelow breaks down what the headlines refuse to say about Qusra, Judea and Samaria, hilltop youth, illegal Palestinian Authority construction, and the collapse of deterrence after Oslo.First, young Jews are filling a vacuum the IDF left open. A healthy nation does not need civilians to impose a price on attackers. That is the army’s job. But restrictive rules of engagement taught the jihadi population a dangerous lesson: attack Jews, then watch the Jewish response become the international story. Deterrence has to come before the next ambush, not after it.Second, this is a 30-year land war the Palestinian Authority has been winning. With European Union money, the PA spreads illegal building onto empty strategic ridges overlooking Jewish communities and roads. The house outside Qusra was not a random home. Whoever holds that mountain holds eyes on Jewish life below. Hilltop farms and outposts exist because someone finally moved to stop that takeover.Third, U.S. citizenship is being used as a weapon against Israel. The builder’s American passport pulls in the U.S. embassy and turns a local clash into pressure on Israeli policy in Judea and Samaria, even under a pro-Israel administration. Israel should say the truth out loud instead of issuing vague apologies.Fourth, the Palestinian Authority is not a peace partner. It fields more than 60,000 armed, U.S.-trained men. Hamas sent a few thousand on October 7. Pretending the PA is a municipal police force is denial.Qusra is not a story about a few angry kids on a hill. It is a story about missing deterrence, a land war we will not name, foreign-passport lawfare, and a generation of Jews who will not be sitting ducks.Stick with Pulse of Israel for the full story.
