Israel's Supreme Court has condemned the mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai, for his ordering the removal of MEF's Israel Victory Project billboard on February 14, 2020. During the run-up to Israel's March 2020 election, the Middle East Forum sponsored several giant billboards in prominent Tel Aviv locations. They depicted both Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on their knees waving a white flag with the words "Peace is only made with defeated enemies." The Supreme Court rejected Huldai's action as unjustified, saying that he exceeded his authority in repressing MEF's freedom of speech. The justices ruled that MEF may resubmit the billboards if it chooses to do so, and that the mayor must reconsider his former stance, "given the difficulties of that position."

Twenty years after the infamous brutal beating to death of two IDF reservists, Vadim Norzhich and Yosef Avrahami, the Knesset held a unique conference on what has been learned from that event and whether inciters to hate and those involved in terror have been held to account. The conference was held under the auspices of the Knesset Israel Victory Caucus (KIVC), whose role is to encourage decision-makers and opinion-shapers to work towards ending the Israel-Palestinian conflict by ensuring the Palestinians give up their 100-year war of violent rejectionism against Jewish sovereignty.

All Israeli citizens need to understand our idea of Israeli victory, understand how to fight the Palestinian problem. We're not there yet, we need the people to embrace our idea as well, and then the Israeli leader will receive the support for its implementation.

Adele Raemer, a resident of Kibbutz Nirim near the Gaza border, released a video Wednesday afternoon via the Israel Victory Project, showing what life is like in much of southern Israel during the ongoing rocket attacks from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Goldin was speaking at a demonstration organized by a coalition of right-wing groups led by the hawkish Israel Victory Project, which is known for stunts such as erecting a billboard featuring a Speedo-clad Ismail Haniyeh next to Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Highway and quietly renaming Tel Aviv streets after Palestinian terrorists. The group said that the chicken, which was emblazoned with the slogan “No more being afraid! Demanding Israeli victory,” was meant to symbolize the “cowardice of past policies against Hamas.”

The massive chicken was brought to the Knesset by the Israel Victory Project (IVP) in protest of what the group claimed to be “weak” governmental actions against Hamas and Palestinian terrorism.

The Israel Victory Project (IVP) mounted the protest, which it said will be making a tour of the country in the coming months. The chicken bore the slogan “putting an end to fear, demanding an Israeli victory.”

Israel Victory Project is calling on Israeli leaders to use military, economic, and diplomatic means to force Hamas to accept Israel's terms. Group: The conflict with the Palestinians will only end when they admit their defeat."The conflict with the Palestinians and their supporters will only end when they admit their defeat and the failure of their violent resistance. Without a victory by Israel, there will be no end to the conflict," the IVP says."

The Israel Victory Project (IVP) of The Middle East Forum (MEF) made headlines this week when huge billboards went up along the Ayalon Freeway in Tel Aviv depicting a happy Hamas leader Ishmail Haniyeh wearing a bikini. ‘Shukran (Thanks in Arabic) Israel’ a banner above the image of Haniyeh carrying a suitcase full of dollars read. The billboards mark the beginning of a campaign which demands a radical change in Israel’s policy of appeasement vis-a-vis the Palestinian Arab terror movements, especially in Gaza, under the slogan ‘Enough being scared. Demand victory for Israel’. “Victory means imposing one’s will on the enemy; history teaches that conflicts end when one side gives up. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict will end only when Palestinians realize they cannot achieve their goal of eliminating the Jewish State of Israel,” Daniel Pipes president of MEF and founder of IVP said.

Josh Hasten shares some interviews from Sunday’s Israel Victory Project conference held in Ramat Gan including comments from Naftali Bennett. The conference brought together politicians, academics, journalists, military experts and others to discuss their views on how Israel should go about achieving a victory over her enemies, from Hamas in the south to Hezbollah in the north, and all others who seek Israel’s demise and refuse to accept the existence of a Jewish State.

Former Education Minister and Yamina leader Naftali Bennett participated in the Israel Victory Project Conference - "Israel 2019: Moving From Concessions to Victory" on Sunday and spoke about the security policy he's been promoting in recent years. "I am not against carrots and sticks as policy but we already have experience with it and need to see the whole picture," Bennett said. "This perception preceded Oslo - let's give them something and then we'll see."

“This protest is the result of deep pain felt by many people across all parts of Israeli society,” said Middle East Forum director Gregg Roman. Israelis are frustrated by terrorism and having to repeatedly fight the Palestinians and ought to “stop managing the conflict and decide [to bring] it to an end, from a place of strength and on our terms,” he said.

Gregg Roman, CEO of the Middle East Forum, said in a statement: “This is a protest action that comes from great pain in the general public in the State of Israel. We all remember the Park Hotel, bus line 5, and Dolphinarium discotheque massacres, and we are all frustrated by the rounds of violence that paralyze the lives of southern residents.We must stop managing the conflict and decide that we will bring it to an end, from a position of power and on our own terms,” Roman added. “This is the only way to end the conflict and this is our demand from the future Israeli government."

The controversial signs were put up by the Israel Victory Project, a Middle East Forum initiative meant to steer U.S. policy toward backing an Israel victory over the Palestinians to resolve the decades-long conflict. The group has been protesting what they say is a “weak” Israeli response to Palestinian terrorism with various public relations campaigns that went viral.

Dozens of Israel Victory Project activists on Tuesday night protested the Israeli governments' longstanding policy in dealing with terrorists. As part of the activities, activists changed the names of central streets in Tel Aviv to names which describe the reality faced by Israel's citizens in general, and residents of southern Israel in particular.

For the past three years, the Israel Victory Project movement has been active in trying “to facilitate a change in the public discourse towards an Israeli victory that aims to encourage Palestinian leadership and society that their best chance at prosperity will come once they accept that Israel is the Jewish state,” according to its website.

The Israel Victory Project (IVP) is using the chicken to "demand an end to the cowardice and to achieve victory over Hamas," according to a press statement. The statement "Stop being afraid. Demanding Israeli victory," is printed on the chicken.

“The Israeli Victory Project calls on elected officials, the IDF and the entire Israeli society to switch from a policy of appeasement to a policy of victory through military, economic and political means.”

Gregg Roman, director of the Middle East Forum who is overseeing the billboard campaign, said that the poll clearly reflected the Israeli public’s desire for the government to achieve a decisive victory over Hamas. “At the very moment a delegation of Hamas’ military wing is in Iran to prepare for the next war against Israel, the findings of our survey are more relevant and important than ever.”

MEF Director Roman: “Israel knows how to deal with Iran. With the Palestinians, [Israel is] one step behind on every new form of rejectionism. In the long term, if not solved, they pose an existential threat to the idea of a Jewish State,” he added. “The Palestinians are rewarded for rejecting, Israelis are punished for accepting,” he said, and added that the problem was compounded by the fact that the Palestinians believe “time is on their side". the only way for the conflict to be resolved is when the Palestinians admit they have lost.
