Master Sgt. Elkana Vizel fell in battle on Monday. His wounds were fatal. He was the married father of four children. He previously fought as a reservist in Gaza in Operation Protective Edge (Tzuk Eitan) in 2014, when he was injured in battle. This is what he wrote in a letter to his family during the current war, in case the worst should happen:
"If you are reading these words, something must have happened to me. If I was kidnapped, I demand that no deal be made for the release of any terrorist to release me. Our overwhelming victory is more important than anything, so please continue to work with all your might so that the victory is as overwhelming as possible.
"Maybe I fell in battle. When a soldier falls in battle, it is sad, but I ask you to be happy. Don't be sad when you part with me. Touch hearts, hold each other's hands, and strengthen each other. We have so much to be proud and happy about.
"We are writing the most significant moments in the history of our nation and the entire world. So please, be happy, be optimistic, keep choosing life all the time. Spread love, light, and optimism. Look at your loved ones in the eyes and remind them that everything we go through in this life is worth it and we have something to live for.
"Don't stop the power of life for a moment. I was already wounded in Operation Tzuk Eitan, but I do not regret that I returned to fight. This is the best decision I ever made."
"British men, do you love your country more than the imam loves Birmingham?"

Shahid Butt, a convicted terrorist jailed for his role in an armed Islamist plot, is now seeking election to Birmingham City Council in May.
According to GB News, Butt, 60, was sentenced to five years in prison in 1999 after being found guilty of planning terrorist attacks against the British consulate, an Anglican church, and a Swiss-owned hotel in Yemen. Prosecutors said the terrorist cell had been dispatched by Abu Hamza, the notorious Islamist preacher later jailed in the United States, whose son was among those convicted in the same case.
His current campaign slogan:
‘Muslims are not pacifists…if somebody comes into your face, you knock his teeth out. That’s my message to the youth.’
“On social media, in particular, it [Minneapolis] feels like 2020 all over again… Well-meaning people of all political persuasions, women above all, have succumbed to an irrational empathy that’s strangling any hope of reasoned debate on law enforcement and illegal immigration.”
–Bethany Mandel
