"A Jew is not satisfied with his redemption unless everybody will be redeemed with him; the Jew feels the beat of the heart of the universe. The Jew prays even for the cosmos. Once a month, he prays that God restore the diminution of the moon. The Jewish experience is all-inclusive, all-embracing, sympathetic to all." (Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik)
Meanwhile, in Gaza tonight
"Yellow Line" on a topographic map of Gaza. It shows that the Israeli military is pushing Palestinians into the lowest-lying parts of Gaza, ensuring that as many people as possible are flooded by cold water and sewage.
AI, is israel blocking Israel is blocking the entry into Gaza of mobile shelters, prefabricated homes and even camper vans?
Yes — the reporting is consistent and specific on this point. Israel has blocked prefabricated homes, mobile homes/caravans, and most shelter materials from entering Gaza, and has allowed only limited numbers of tents.Gaza City council member Mustafa Qazzaat, speaking to AFP, said Israel has not allowed prefabricated homes into Gaza since the truce was announced and has permitted only limited tent entry, while Gaza urgently needs around 200,000 prefabricated homes.1 2 3 Israeli authorities have classified shelter items — tent poles, construction materials, and mobile homes — as "dual use," effectively barring them almost completely, and roughly 8,600 IOM emergency shelter kits have been sitting outside Gaza and turned away at crossings.4 5 Prefabricated homes were also excluded on the grounds that they count as reconstruction, which Israel has made conditional on political and military requirements.6 Other reporting confirms that despite the October ceasefire, severe restrictions on caravans and shelter goods continue.7The practical result: the first winter storm of the season flooded at least 70,000 tents in about 12 hours on November 7, 2026, and hundreds of families fled camps in Gaza City and the central and northern Strip.1 5 The UN humanitarian office says 294,250 families need shelter assistance, supplies cover only partial help for 18 percent of them, and more than 1.6 million people are living in tents or makeshift shelters.2

"~10 rainwater suction trucks have been held at the crossings for a year as the occupation blocks their entry, & by August municipalities said they had received no fuel for their heavy machinery since March."
And some in Israel celebrate:
The actual quote, in Hebrew: "אני מעריך שלא יישאר אוהל אחד עומד במקום שלו" — "I estimate that not a single tent will remain standing in its place." Then, per the article, "with sarcasm": "אין לי בעיה עם זה שגם לא יישארו שם אנשים" — "I have no problem with it that no people will remain there either."
Channel 14, Israel
Gaza’s tents are flooding. On Israel’s Channel 14, hosts Noam Fathi and Shai Goldstein laughed.
“Water is a resource.” “Open a water park.” “Keep all the ruins.” Then AI images of slides, inner tubes and an Israeli cruise ship on Gaza’s rubble. They named it “Gazaluna.”
Last winter, at least 16 people died in Gaza’s storm, three of them children who froze to death. Israel still restricts the tents and temporary homes that could keep people dry.
This is prime-time Israeli TV. What kind of society finds the death of children in agony entertaining?
Remember the words of Holocaust survivor Primo Levi
