Article: 'Colours of rage.
The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.
The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps. We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.
For those monsters in green..'

'The chilling implications of Hamas’s suspension of hostage releases.
Is there anything Hamas could do that would be unspinnable even for its army of Western media collaborators? After nearly 500 days, that question appears to have been answered. The haunting scenes from Saturday’s hostage release shocked a few consciences back to life.
Today Hamas announced that it would be unilaterally suspending the cease-fire and refusing to release any more Israeli hostages until further notice. That announcement should be viewed in the context of the world’s reaction to the events of Saturday, when Hamas released three almost unrecognizably emaciated hostages, one of whom seemed to be relearning how to walk as his captors nearly carried him to the awaiting Red Cross vehicle.
Eli Sharabi, a ghost of the man Hamas had taken on Oct. 7, 2023, was forced at gunpoint to say he was looking forward to reuniting with his wife and children, whom Hamas had already murdered unbeknownst to him. It was almost surely the most evil thing most people have ever seen on television.
At first, Western media followed its reflexes and tried to somehow minimize what we all were seeing, which was like a livestreamed shot of the liberation of a concentration camp. The BBC took its best shot: “Concerns have been raised about their wellbeing, with Mr Sharabi’s family — who live in the UK — describing their shock at his ‘gaunt’ appearance. Returning Palestinian prisoners were greeted with scenes of celebration at Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. Representatives claimed they all needed ‘medical care’, without giving specifics.”
Rather than describe what they saw, the BBC decided it had to quote a family member describing Sharabi as gaunt, as if it were a matter of interpretation. But you can begin to hear the impatience creep into the BBC’s voice with the third sentence, as if it has finally lost the will to slavishly echo the talking points of monsters. Even the BBC knows the Palestinian representatives are lying—though calling the terrorists released by Israel on Saturday “prisoners” is a reminder that the media very much want to side with Hamas, even when unable to bring themselves to do so.
Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.
Then on Saturday Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.
And so there was a collective gasp from the world, and a backlash. A gentle backlash, but a backlash nonetheless. Hamas’s co-conspirators in governments and NGOs and news organizations around the world were exposed to their own reflections, and they recoiled.
So how can Hamas release the next round of captives in five days without building on the backlash? Well, it can release non-tortured, non-starving hostages—if it has anyone who meets that description in its dungeons.'
Trump issues direct threat to Hamas: Release hostages by 12 PM Sat or face 'hell'. But leaves the decision to Israel.
Trump: "I looked at hostages that came in. They're emaciated. It looked like something from the 1930s. It's an absolute disgrace. I think they saw as the world viewed it, and they're looking for a reason not to send more. They're all...you look at it.. it looks like it was a concentration camp, which essentially it was. It looks like it came out of the Holocaust. What a sad thing...
Those people have been badly hurt, both mentally and physically, I'm talking about the young women also that came out previously.
And I think one of the reasons they're probably doing this, they are sending the very best. What you see is probably the best. Because they want to send people that look at least healthy. And that's not healthy..."

Exposed: 'Qatar is Hamas, and Hamas is Qatar'.
-The Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas and other Palestinians on October 7, 2023 could have been released a long time ago had the Biden administration exerted pressure on Qatar to use its good relations with the Islamist group to force it to do so.
-All Qatar had to do was to summon the Hamas leaders in Doha and give them an ultimatum to release all the hostages immediately or face deportation from the Gulf state. It is hard to see how the Hamas leaders would have been able to say no to their major political and financial patrons and backers.... The Qataris were never under the slightest pressure.
-"For years, Qatar supported the Taliban, and last year [2021] it helped it in its coup against the democratically elected Afghan government, and 13 American service members were killed in the violence. Today, Qatar is doing everything it can to give the Taliban international legitimacy and aid."
-"Any Arab who hears American officials say that Qatar is America's ally would burst into laughter.... Ask Egypt, not just the rulers, but the people and journalists. Ask the Emirates, the government and people. Ask Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan. They all know that for decades Qatar has been promoting Islamist and terrorist organizations. There are lawsuits against Qatar in the U.S. and Europe in connection with its support for terrorism."

Macklemore’s back at it again.
He dropped yet another pro-Palestinian music video on his social accounts and it’s overflowing with antisemitic tropes.
He invokes classic antisemitic conspiracy theories and echoes medieval blood libels. Media watchdog exposes his canards:
-The Resnicks are major agricultural figures, but claiming they secretly control the water supply? Sound familiar? It should—it’s the classic "Jews control the world" trope.
-It’s 2025 and we’re still getting hit with blood libel? Accusing Jews of deliberately killing children is one of the oldest antisemitic smears in the book.
-Blaming Israel for inflation, rent prices, and the price of eggs? Maybe check the economy instead of inventing a Jewish scapegoat.
-Foreign aid to Israel? It’s not what you think. Those billions? They’re spent in America, on American jobs, for American defense industries.
-"Israel is censoring"? Reality check: Pro-Palestinian content dominates social media—by a ratio of 54:1.
-Apartheid? Try again. Israeli Arabs serve in the government, the Supreme Court, and every industry. Security checkpoints = stopping terror, not enforcing racism.
-Colonizers? The Jewish people have thousands of years of history in Israel. Zionism isn’t colonialism—it’s a land-back movement.
-Terrorism is never going to make Israelis feel safe. This war was never about ethnic cleansing, but ending the threat of Hamas terrorists to Israeli civilians.
-A genocide claim backed by staged propaganda photos? It’s not just false—it’s a disgraceful mockery of Jewish suffering.
-And let’s not forget—this is the same Macklemore who dressed in an antisemitic costume in 2014 and swore it was an accident. So, what’s his excuse now?'

FM Sa'ar to Palestinian Arab reporter: What you call Palestine is the land of Israel. At Munich Security Conference, he responds to reporter who asked him about “Palestine”: It's a pity that all these years, we haven’t found a partner for peace, but we had enemies that never abandoned the path of terrorism and incitement.
The reporter, who said she is from Shechem (Nablus), asked Sa’ar about US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza and said it would result in Hamas being “outside of Palestine” where they will have much more visibility to mobilize.
“Israel took during the years very bold decisions, maybe mistaken, but bold decisions. Israel created the Palestinian Authority, bringing the PLO terrorists from Tunisia. Israel withdrew from all [of the] Gaza Strip. Israel more than gave a chance to [a] peace process with the Palestinians,” Sa’ar replied, then added, “I mean, the Palestinians never had, in the history of our country, never in history were sovereign in this land. What you call Palestine is the name that Caesar Adrianus gave to the land of Israel when he conquered it…So what you call Palestine is the land of Israel.”
“And it's a pity that in spite of all our efforts during all these years, we haven’t found a partner to go to real peace, but we had enemies that never abandoned the path of terrorism, incitement, and the will to destroy Israel was much stronger than the will to build their own state,” said Sa’ar.
He also spoke about the hostage release deal and made clear, “The war won't be over until we will bring all our hostages back home. Any hostage that comes back home to his family brings us closer to our objective. So it is very important…to continue to implement [the deal].”

Unreal.
Media watchdog: Haaretz moves on to the prophecy phase. (Prophecies of destruction, of course).
Last Thursday, Gideon Levy advanced in life and became a prophet of wrath.
Let's start with the official definition of genocide, as it appears in the 1948 UN Genocide Convention:
Acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.
Everything has already been written and exhausted, but let us recall it again:
Israel, in its official policy, acts in exactly the opposite way of the definition. It carries out actions that are contrary to its wartime interest, with the clear aim of protecting the Palestinians, not eliminating them.
To this end, it safely moves them out of the combat zones so that they will not be harmed, even though it is not obliged to do so, since in a situation of deliberate war action among a civilian population, international law places the blame for civilian casualties on the party that used them as human shields, i.e. Hamas, and not on the party that fought under these impossible conditions, i.e. Israel.
In the language of Article 28 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilians in Times of War:
The existence of a protected area will not serve as a pretext for immunizing certain points or areas against military operations.
Israel is taking another military action, which is clearly intended to protect the Palestinians in Gaza and not to destroy them, and it is of course the introduction of humanitarian aid, which it is also not obliged to introduce under international law.
According to the Hague Regulations, the Fourth Geneva Convention and the First Protocol to the Fourth Geneva Convention, the side that is besieging the opposing side in a war is not obliged to introduce food to the enemy's civilians, if the food is also used by the fighting side. And yet, even though Hamas not only uses the humanitarian aid that Israel allows to be introduced, but also takes over it and steals it from its citizens, Israel continues to bring in the trucks, because it wants to protect the civilians and not destroy them. Exactly the opposite of what Haaretz and Gideon Levy claim...
And the question arises, why is Levy writing this and Haaretz publishing it? What is the basis of the matter?
In my opinion, the reason is Levi and Haaretz's basic aversion to Israel and their view of it as a barbaric society, and in contrast, their basic sympathy for the Palestinians.
The same sympathy that caused them, two days after the October 7 massacre, to publish an article of sympathy and even support for the barbaric massacre in the surrounding settlements, wrapped in mockery of the Israeli victims, admiration for the level of carrying out by the terrorists, and understanding of their motives.'
List of alleged 'collaborators' with police spreads in Arab sector. Security forces warn people mistakenly detailed on document could be ostracization and even murdered; as murders continues to rise in Arab society.
The list of alleged "collaborators" with the Israel Police was circulated in Arab communities on Feb/16 mainly in central Israel, accusing those named of aiding the police. The list was accompanied by calls to boycott them, refuse to pray or marry them — and even harm them. Some of the individuals named are innocent residents with no ties to crime or law enforcement.

Marking 500 days of war.
There were so many horrors on 10/7. Among them is what Adam mentions here about his family. I am aware of at least two other families who found out their family members were killed because Hamas uploaded the deaths on the victim's social media during the attack.
This is what Israel is all about: Our IDF hero, Idan Amadi, a famous singer and actor who fought in Gaza and was severely injured, almost dying, met with the freed IDF hostages to sing for them.
A video from the Oct. 7th Massacre people should never forget. Hamas terrorists murdered Bracha's grandmother in her own home. They then took her phone, filmed her butchered body & posted the video on the elderly woman’s Facebook page to hurt her family.
Marking 500 days, hostage families press gov’t for swift release of all 73. Members of the Tikva Forum for Families of Hostages, which represents relatives who oppose concessions to Hamas, urged the Israeli government on Monday to leverage U.S. President Donald Trump’s support to get all 73 remaining captives out of Gaza by March 1, when the first phase of the ceasefire is due to expire. Speaking at a press conference outside the Knesset marking 500 days since Hamas kidnapped their loved ones during the Oct. 7, 2023, invasion, Tikva co-founder Tzvika Mor opened by addressing Cabinet ministers who were set to convene to discuss the next stage of the Gaza truce. “Today, you will talk about our loved ones who remain there,” Mor said. “We told you for 500 days that this way, you will not succeed in bringing everyone back, because talking to Hamas is a waste of time. You decided to negotiate, you decided to go for an agreement: Bring everyone back together.”
IDF PodCast: Special Episode: 500 Days of War.
For 500 days, Israel has been fighting a war on multiple fronts. In this special episode of Mission Brief, we spoke with soldiers from Lotar, the IDF’s elite counterterrorism unit, who have been on the front lines since October 7.
Lotar has played a crucial role in eliminating threats and protecting civilians...

'The is Kim Damti, an Irish Citizen 🇮🇪 that was brutally murdered on October 7th by Hamas. Could you imagine her family knowing how certain Irish people like President Michael D. Higgins have been behaving lately? Here is her story and some words from the heart from her family: She was at the Nova Festival. Her mother said Kim called her at 6:30 a.m. as Hamas was attacking the party, and asked: “Mummy, what should I do?” Her son took the phone and told her to seek shelter, and that was the last they heard from her. Her body was discovered several days later, and she was buried in Gedera on October 12. Damti is survived by her parents, Jennifer and Gidon, and four siblings. Her family owns the well-known Falafel Damti stand in Gedera, where Kim grew up. Her cousin, Hadas Damti Padlon, described Kim as “beloved, beautiful and good, whose only sin was going to a party to dance and enjoy.” “Kimmy was a source of pride and joy to her parents and siblings,” she wrote. "Kim was a beautiful, gentle, light-filled girl, there was nobody who didn’t love her, she was a ray of sunshine in the world!” Her relative, Nasrin Damti, described Kim as “my angel… I am broken and destroyed and cannot believe that I won’t get to see your beautiful smile anymore. My Kimmy, you were the angel of the family and especially of me. Watch over us from above, and give us the strength to deal with the horrible pain.” At her funeral, her brother Daniel Damti eulogized her and spoke of her final moments. “Kimmy, our flower, my little sister… you were always full of generosity. You left for the party and I told you, ‘Go, have fun, this is your time.'” He said they last spoke at 7 a.m. and she told him she was hiding out in a shelter, “and I was relieved. I didn’t know that that’s where it would end.” “You will always stay in my heart, smart and pure, I’ll never forget you. I promise you I’ll protect everyone, the whole family. Our angel, you will always stay beautiful in our memories,” he said. At the ceremony, her sister, Emily Damti, lamented the loss of “Kimmy, my little sister, my sunshine, my flower girl, my successful, beautiful sister. I can’t get your smile out of my head. I can’t imagine summing up your life when you just started living.” Emily said she “received a gift to spend 22 years by your side, I was privileged to be your sister. You managed to do so much during that time, an excellent student, who also found time for fun… What a treasure was stolen from me. I wanted to do so many more things with you… I will always remember you dancing with a smile on your face. My angel.” '
'Only 3 teeth of hers were buried — that’s all the Palestinians left of her on October 7. Everything else they burned beyond recognition. Remember that when you discuss what should happen to Gaza.'

Hamas leaders hoarded stolen aid, leaked recordings show. Pressure from the Biden administration drove continued supply shipments to Gaza, despite the terrorist group's theft at the expense of civilians. The IDF released intercepted: communications among Hams terrorists during a pivotal moment in the war. This information reveals several key points: -Hamas was in complete panic due to the IDF's advances. -They were redirecting all aid towards their militants. -There is full collaboration between Hams and UNRWA. -At one point, the Hams terrorists were openly threatening their leadership (Sinwar and Deif), even expressing intentions to settle scores with them. -Hamas leadership sent people to beat and threaten the wives of activists who were complaining.
‘Neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority’: Netanyahu rejects reports of Gaza power transfer.
FDD Expert Response:
'“Suppose the United States and Israel identify a suitable candidate to replace Hamas in governing the Gaza Strip. In that case, all parties must recognize that Hamas and other terrorist factions will pose significant obstacles to implementing these plans. Achieving success will require Hamas and its allies to willingly relinquish power, which seems unlikely unless they are forcefully removed. Given Hamas’ track record of prioritizing its rule over civilian lives and its willingness to endure substantial losses to maintain control, it is improbable that the group will abandon its position without another round of significant fighting.” — Joe Truzman, Senior Research Analyst and Editor at FDD’s Long War Journal
“The PA can barely maintain control in the West Bank, where Iran-backed terrorists have dug in, and violence has skyrocketed. West Bank terrorists not only continue to perpetrate lethal attacks against Israelis but also present a credible threat to Mahmoud Abbas’s leadership. The idea that the aged, ailing, and deeply unpopular Abbas could govern Gaza and prevent a Hamas resurgence in the enclave is far-fetched to say the least.” — Enia Krivine, Senior Director of FDD’s Israel Program and National Security Networks.'

Dangerous Dope: CBS anchor Margaret Brennan, stupidly insists that free speech led to the Holocaust, gets shut down by Rubio
Brennan faced swift backlash Sunday (Feb/16) after making an outrageous and historically inaccurate claim that free speech was “weaponized” to enable the Holocaust. The comment came during a heated exchange with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Face the Nation, in which Brennan displayed a shocking lack of understanding of Nazi Germany.
'Indeed, Nazi Germany was a brutal dictatorship where dissent was violently crushed, the press was state-controlled, and those who spoke out against Hitler were jailed or executed. For Brennan—a supposedly seasoned journalist—to suggest otherwise is not just ignorant, but an insult to history itself.
Even White House Communications Director Steven Cheung weighed in, blasting Brennan’s comments as “bizarre” and “disgusting.”
“Margaret Brennan of CBS News is going through some bizarre episode as she makes disgusting excuses for Nazis and the Holocaust,” he wrote.
For the record, Nazi Germany was one of the most oppressive regimes in modern history, where:
-Dissent was outlawed—speaking against the government could land someone in a concentration camp.
-The press was strictly controlled, with only Nazi-approved propaganda allowed.
-Jews, political opponents, and intellectuals were silenced through arrests, book burnings, and violence.
-The Nazis didn’t “weaponize” free speech—they destroyed it, along with millions of lives.
Brennan’s stunning ignorance on national television is a disgrace to journalism and a gross insult to Holocaust victims. She should apologize immediately—or better yet, pick up a history book.'

Article: 'A Watershed Moment in American Jewish History. Jon Ossoff is Georgia’s first Jewish senator. And the Jews of the Peach State are doing something remarkable: refusing to be taken for granted.
Though this drama is playing out behind the scenes, it represents a watershed in American Jewish politics.
The New York Times has obtained a letter sent privately in December to Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, urging him to run for Senate against Ossoff. The twist: The signatories of the letter included prominent Jewish Democrats.
“I took great pride to see a young Jewish man find the successes that he has,” Isaac Frank, one of the signatories, told the Times. “I just feel like he’s somewhat disconnected from where our community is, given post-Oct. 7.”
The letter to Kemp, as quoted by the Times, says: “As a bipartisan group of leaders in the metropolitan Atlanta Jewish community, we humbly ask you to consider running for the United States Senate in 2026… Should you decide to run in the 2026 election, you would find no better friends, more loyal allies or stronger supporters than us and our community.”
The signatories, especially the Jewish Democrats among them, have done their community a great act of service by insisting that being Jewish does not chain one to either party, that a vote has to be earned, and that a last name alone does not amount to true representation.
What’s their beef with Ossoff? The senator’s vote to withhold U.S. weapons transfers to Israel seems to have been the trigger. This was made worse by watching Ossoff preen on the Senate floor in an eight-minute rekindling of ugly Hamas propaganda in support of withholding those weapons.'

BBC accused of using Hamas official’s son in documentary about ‘ordinary Palestinians’. Hamas propaganda promoted as reliable fact’, anti-Semitism campaigners say in official complaint. The documentary, Gaza: How To Survive a War Zone, was broadcast on Monday evening as an account of the conflict through the eyes of three children whose lives have been devastated by Israel’s military campaign against Hamas. The hour-long film was narrated by a 14-year-old English-speaking boy named Abdullah, who is listed in the film’s credits under his full name, Abdullah Al-Yazouri. It has since been claimed that Abdullah’s father, Ayman Alyazouri, is a senior figure who currently holds the position of deputy minister of agriculture in the Hamas-run government. Critics have said the BBC has allowed itself to be used as a propaganda platform for Hamas by giving airtime to the child of one of its senior figures. The child’s alleged family background was not revealed to viewers and it is not clear if the film crew were aware of the Hamas links. The campaign group Labour Against Antisemitism has lodged a formal complaint to the BBC about the broadcast, claiming that the team failed to properly vet the documentary’s subjects. Alex Hearn, from Labour Against Antisemitism, said: “This documentary appears to have been a failure of due diligence by the BBC, with Hamas propaganda promoted as reliable fact at the taxpayers’ expense. “There needs to be an urgent investigation into how this happened once again. “Misinformation is the story of the Israel-Hamas conflict, and this is not an isolated case. There has been a failure of news platforms to adequately scrutinise sources and a willingness to regurgitate Hamas disinformation repeatedly.”
Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely: 'Following the release of the @BBCTwo documentary on Gaza, I have sent an official letter to the Director General of the BBC, Tim Davie. I asked for clarification on the BBC’s choice of cameraman as well as the main protagonist of the documentary, given the BBC’s supposed commitment to impartiality. “I await his response.”'

Global media mourns for Israel's dead hostages. As Hamas began its cynical ceremony, the news reached top headlines, with push notifications sent to readers when the coffins were transferred to the Red Cross.
Memorize these words: Hamas kidnapped and murdered a mother, a toddler, and an infant. The Palestinian terrorist organizations are our true, most immediate, and dangerous enemy. They are the ones lurking at our doorstep, seeking every opportunity to strike us. They kidnapped and murdered a mother, a toddler, and an infant, and for that, they must pay.

Hamas stages macabre ceremony to release bodies of four Israeli hostages, said to include Bibas children and their mother. 'The sick jihadi psychopaths have placed four caskets on full display for a crowd of cheering Palestinians.'
As Israel waited with broken hearts for the four martyred to return to Israel, Hamas prepared a depraved ceremony in Khan Younis. The barbaric handover ceremony began at about 9:20 a.m. to the sounds of the cheering, clapping and whistling of the delighted audience. The coffins were handed over to the Red Cross, who transported them to a meeting point in the Strip where IDF forces were waiting.
Shortly after 10 p.m., the coffins were handed over to the IDF. The coffins were locked and were handed over with keys that didn’t fit the locks. IDF sappers thoroughly inspected the coffins to ensure they weren’t rigged with explosives and then forced the locks open.
A decision was made to shorten the ceremony. IDF Chief Rabbi Brig. Gen. Eyal Karim recited an appropriate kappitel Tehillim – 83 – over the coffins while IDF soldiers saluted. The coffins were then placed in IDF vehicles, which transported them across the border to Israel and continued to the Abu Kabir Institute of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv.
Earlier, the terror group built a stage featuring a banner depicting Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu as a vampire delighting over the “murder” [Hamas-libelous blamed him for their killing] of the hostages, with images of Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas and Oded Lifshitz.
At the disturbing ceremony, staged against the backdrop of celebratory music.
Another banner glorifying the October 7 massacre and depicting multiple “Zionist” coffins, states: “The return of the war = the return of your prisoners in coffins.” The coffins were placed on the stage. Written on them [the coffins of babies!] were the words: “Date of arrest: October 7, 2023.”
Unfathomable depravity. The coffins of babies, a young mother, and an elderly man surrounded by missiles and armed and masked terrorists. This is what they revel in and proudly display to the world, a world that at best fails to condemn such images and at worst, gloats over them.
Red Cross collaborator participates in the depraved ceremony.
Hundreds of terrorists and “innocent” Gazan civilians gathered to watch the barbaric ceremony, delighted to start their day gloating over a Jewish mother, babies, and an elderly man brutally abducted from their homes and murdered in captivity.
Terrorists released from Israeli prisons in previous hostage release waves, were among the audience.

Article: 'Babies in bandanas. The children of Gaza and the Palestinian Authority are raised on a steady diet of hatred. Their heroes are bombers, not Batman. Before the caskets were transferred to the Red Cross, masked Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Fatah operatives proudly basked in the cheering crowds of Palestinian “civilians.” These male and female jihad-lovers came out in droves, with children of all ages in tow, decorated in bandanas. Not ones with bat wings, of course. No, those with terrorist insignias. After all, their superheroes are “martyrs” for Allah. That’s whom they are taught to glorify and emulate. Following the horrifying display of joy over the dead Jews, the crowd dispersed and the coffins were transported back to Israel, a short car-ride—yet light years—away. Once past the border that separates hell from heaven, they were delivered to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute for autopsy.'
Article: Hamas terrorists' vile acts don't shock us Jews - but one deadly injustice does.
There was a worldwide effort to erase the Bibas family from memory by tearing down “missing” posters with their pictures on, with police in the UK, Germany and Amnesty workers in Italy joining in. Swastikas were drawn on these babies' faces and they were labelled “Nazis” and “colonisers” because it was the worst thing people could imagine to demonise them as the epitome of evil.
Even as the October 7 massacre was occurring and the Bibas family were being kidnapped, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) were busy applying for a “solidarity” march in London, which took place two days later, and was celebratory in tone.
The engine of hate was revving up.
After murdering them, Hamas felt emboldened to keep the Bibas’s bodies for barter so that more of their murderers could be released, as the architect of the October 7 massacre Yahya Sinwar had been...'

The horrifying photo that proves: There is no difference between Gazans and Judea and Samaria Arabs. A photo from the Jenin area reveals: a swastika is proudly affixed to one of the pillars on the street.
Journalist on Jan/29: 'Anyone who claims that "it's not the same thing," that Gaza is Gaza and Judea and Samaria is Judea and Samaria, and that peace can be achieved in Jenin, should see the photos I revealed this morning in Israel Hayom.. Mein Camp books, cartridges and parts of explosives inside pink children's bags, are just some of what Egoz fighters discovered in the refugee camp. What else was uncovered: RPG launchers and "Made in palestine" rockets and homemade mortars. L., the commander of a fighting unit, expressed it in the most precise way: "I'm from the valley, I go up on a roof here and look at Mount Tabor, at the house.

Columnist: Hamas treats Jews like black slaves in the US. Hamas’s hostage releases are modern-day slave auctions.
As the first phase of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel comes to an end, so, too, might the weekly hostage “auctions” that have been among its most defining optics.
The humiliating ceremonies surrounding the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza recall the treatment of black slaves in America. Humans become currency to be traded.
The Hamas display has been likened to everything from a ghoulish circus to a hint of what women accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials era might have endured.
But to me – an American Jew who is also African-American – the Hamas production feels like nothing less than a slave auction in America’s South during the years prior to the Civil War.
There are many parallels between America’s slave era and these horrifying Hamas happenings. The most obvious is race – slavery was a crime perpetrated by whites against blacks, with blackness the defining characteristic of this power dynamic.
Slaves were marked for chattel servitude because they were black – something that even two or three generations of miscegenation could not undo. One drop of blackness and you were black – stripped of all rights and fated to working the fields.
The same thinking applies to Hamas and Jews and Israelis. As they sat on Hamas’s impromptu dais forced to perform as the crowds eagerly inspected the Zionist captives, Shem Tov, Wenkert, and Cohen were reduced to little more than their sheer corpus – much like the slaves of the antebellum South.
They’re there solely to be prodded and picked over, booty from a bloody conquest – October 7 in the case of Gaza and Hamas, the Middle Passage during the era before emancipation. The trio were there in central Gaza because they were Jews.
Most crucially, in the case of both slavery and Hamas’s hostage strategy, humans exist as mere currency – their only function to be bargained and traded as part of an evil end game.
For slave owners, the goal was cheap labor to fuel fallow cotton and tobacco plantations. In Gaza, kidnapped Jewish bodies are held captive and abused, to be traded for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.
Unlike during the slave era – which required workers who could actually work – even dead Jews hold value for Hamas. Lots of value, as evidenced by the four corpses traded for hundreds of Palestinian criminals this week, including murdered children Kfir and Ariel Bibas.
The last 16 months of global anti-Israel protests and surging antisemitism have revealed Jews and Israelis vulnerable to violence and peril almost unimaginable before Hamas’s October 7 invasion.
But I could have imagined it. Having spent my life contending with racism, I’ve never lacked the ability to imagine the horrors humans are capable of inflicting upon one another.
For me, what Jews now endure in America is nothing less than the racism blacks have known for centuries. Indeed, as I wrote earlier this month, America’s Jews now exist as “America’s ‘new’ blacks.”

“The crimes are unthinkable. We cannot imagine it happened, but it did,” Argamani told the council, of Shiri Bibas, and her sons Ariel and Kfir, whose bodies Israel redeemed from Hamas last week. “That’s why we cannot leave anyone behind.”
Dozens of envoys attend UN memorial for Oded Lifshitz, and Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas. “The brutal murder of the Bibas family by Hamas will forever be a scar on the soul of the Jewish people.

He expressed deep sorrow and regret for not being able to protect them, especially during the tragic events on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas and Palestinian terrorist snatched them from their home.
“I remember the first time I said Mi amor to you,” he said. “It was at the very beginning of our relationship. You told me to call you that only if I was certain I loved you, not to say it carelessly. I didn’t say it then because I didn’t want you to think I was rushing to say ‘I love you.” Shiri, I’ll confess to you no that I already loved you back then when I said, Mi amor.“

Israel has decided to lift its diplomatic ban on three far-right European political parties, including France's National Rally, Sweden's Sweden Democrats, and Spain's VOX, while maintaining its embargo on Austria's Freedom Party and Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD), which secured strong results in recent elections.
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen directed his office and Israeli embassies in France, Sweden and Spain to engage with these far-right parties, noting that the move was based on a thorough review of their positions on Israel, antisemitism and Holocaust denial.
"We are examining how these parties behave today," Cohen said in a meeting with Jewish community leaders and pro-Israel organizations in Belgium. "We do not want to isolate ourselves from potential allies in Europe, but we also do not want to legitimize neo-Nazi movements."
Israeli official: We will not leave the Philadelphi Corridor. "We will not allow the Hamas murderers to again ... rearm through smuggling," the source said.
IDF presents internal probes of Oct. 7 failures. Investigation into the hours leading up to the massacre revealed that the first signs of an impending invasion were detected around 9 p.m., some nine-and-a-half hours before Hamas and Palestinian Arabs attacked.
“It is wrong to ‘manage’ a conflict with an enemy whose goal is your destruction,” the top-level military investigations stated on Thursday, concluding that Hamas terrorists “took advantage of Israel’s policy of ‘conflict management’ to advance an orderly plan for a broad attack.”
Israel takes a hard look at its prewar assumptions. It "believed that leveraging improved civil conditions in Gaza would make Hamas less likely to launch a war."
Many of the lessons have been discussed throughout the war on a general level, but two key takeaways stand out: one, that it is now impossible for Israel and the region to go back to the pre-10/7 status quo, and two, that it cannot expect the Israeli public to believe what it cannot see.
Heroism of murdered hostage Ori Danino revealed by fellow captive: He fought Hamas terrorists and saved lives. Rabbi Elchanan Danino, father of killed hostage Ori Danino, talks about his son’s extraordinary bravery during his captivity with Hamas told to him by ex-hostage Eliya Cohen. “He told us that Ori got out of the car and hid in a bush. When a terrorist grabbed him, he punched him so hard that he was badly injured. Even inside the vehicle, during the abduction, Ori fought the terrorists hand-to-hand,” his father said.
Hamas has praised 2/27 ramming attack at Karkur Junction, which left a 17-year-old girl in critical condition and two others seriously injured.

Counter-terror police were looking into complaints about ‘anti-Zionist’ lecturer [who claimed that “Even chicken soup is a Zionist plot” and slammed an interfaith event between Jews and Muslims at the East London Mosque] David Miller’s trip to Hezbollah leader’s funeral.
The controversial professor posted about being in the crowd at the Beirut ceremony honouring Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike last year
Campaign group Labour Against Antisemitism (LAAS) said that they had reported Miller to the police following his posts about attending the ceremony.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) added: “What do our terror laws mean if someone can attend the funeral of a mass-murdering terrorist and return to the UK as if nothing has happened? If this is not a matter for the police then clearly our laws require urgent review.”
And, in a statement, Counter-Terrorism Policing confirmed that it was “assessing relevant material” with a view to determining whether “further investigation” is required.
Miller has long accused him of straying into antisemitism in his discussion of the Jewish state.
Indeed: 'UK counterterrorism police detain former Bristol lecturer for attending Nasrallah's funeral.'

UK government summons BBC over Gaza documentary controversy. It calls for urgent meeting with the BBC following the airing of a documentary about children in Gaza narrated by the son of a Hamas leader.
BBC apologises for ‘flaws’ in Gaza documentary, including paying family with Hamas links. The board of the corporation said the errors were ‘serious and damaging’ and says the production company knew of narrator’s Hamas links before airing.
Article: 'Imagine if the BBC paid the son of an IRA terrorist to narrate a documentary. Imagine for a moment that, at the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the BBC had broadcast a documentary – sold as being unflinchingly neutral – that was narrated by the son of a senior IRA member. Imagine that the Corporation had filmed it with the permission and co-operation of the terrorist group – and then paid the IRA member for his family’s participation. If such behaviour had been exposed, it would have been a catastrophe for the BBC, would likely have led to prosecutions and might even have caused the collapse of the Corporation. No such film was ever made. But last week the BBC broadcast Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone, and if you replace the words ‘IRA’ with ‘Hamas’, you will understand why the Corporation is facing one of the most serious crises in its history. Not only did it broadcast a piece of Hamas propaganda without revealing that the narrator is the son of a minister in the Hamas government, it lined the pockets of his family to do so. After a board meeting on Thursday, the BBC finally admitted the extent of the deception behind the documentary and has now set up a ‘full fact-finding review’. But it is too little, too late.'
Article: 'The BBC is too toxic to even recognise its own disgrace. You would have thought that when it came to the BBC’s axed Gaza documentary, the pro-Palestinian luvvie set might have had the grace to sit this one out.'

Article: 'Why Zionism Is Not Colonialism
The claim that Zionism is a form of colonialism is at the heart of a lot of anti-Zionist narratives. The story goes that white, Western Jews decided to colonise Palestine, and displace the native Palestinian Arab population.
One piece of historical evidence that often gets thrown around in these conversations and seems to have gone mega viral a few times recently is this headline from the New York Times, proclaiming that Zionists intended to colonise Palestine:
The implications of this accusation of colonisation is that colonisation is a horrible thing that must end as the arc of history bends further and further towards justice, to paraphrase Martin Luther King, Jr. In other words, the colonisers must give the land back to the previous owners, and return from whence they came.
But ownership of land, especially in a national sense, is a complex and fraught topic. Yes, it’s true that Palestinian Arabs were living in the land as a majority during the British Mandate between 1917-1947, and the Ottoman Empire during 1517-1917. But there were multiple earlier Jewish polities in the Holy Land across history, with the most recent independent Jewish entity ending with the defeat of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 136 AD, after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD following the first Jewish-Roman war.
The result of the Roman colonisation of the land was the enslavement and expulsion of many of the pre-existing indigenous Jewish population, who became scattered across the former Roman empire in Europe and the middle east. Similarly, the ancestors of the Palestinians are not only from later Arab conquerors, and the Romans and Byzantines themselves, but they are also descended in large part from parts of the Jewish population that stayed on the land in spite of Roman rule, and later converted to Christianity or Islam.'

Former hostage details starvation and beatings by Hamas captors.
"You don’t care about the beatings. They’re breaking my ribs, and I don’t care; give me another half-pita."
He described being chained, beaten and starved by terrorists throughout 16 months of captivity in the Gaza Strip.
Eli Sharabi, 53, who lost more than 66 pounds and weighed just 97 pounds upon his release on Feb. 8, that he was kept in iron chains the entire time and was intermittently beaten or otherwise humiliated as he and the three other hostages he was with subsisted for months on end on a single plate of pasta a day.
"Some [captives] were chained part of the time. I was chained for 16 months. Heavy locks tore into my flesh."
“People should really think when they open a fridge at home, it’s everything. It’s everything to open a fridge,” he said. “That’s what you dream of every day. You don’t care about the beatings you get. They beat you, they’re breaking my ribs, and I don’t care; give me another half-pita.”
He recounted that when the four hostages received pita, they would break it into equal parts, keeping it until 10 p.m. and then eating it piece by piece over 10 to 15 minutes, “so you can get through the night.”
The former hostage looked so emaciated on his release that he drew comparisons to Holocaust survivors.
He reported that he was subjected to a regime physical abuse by Hamas terrorists but that the intense hunger was the worst of all.
"You dream about food every single day. Not the beatings, not the pain—just food,” he recalled, adding: “You dream of picking up an apple or drinking water. At the worst points, eating once a day, a bowl of pasta—300, 250 calories.
"You already see your stomach disappearing, see yourself shrinking.”
Sharabi’s experiences closely mirror the testimonies of other freed hostages, who reported torture, starvation and psychological abuse.
But the peak of his suffering was yet to come as Sharabi was only informed of the deaths of his wife – British-Israeli Lianne – and their two teenage daughters, Yahel and Noiya, when he got back to Israel –almost 500 days after they were murdered by Hamas.

Deborah Lipstadt: Why I Won’t Teach at Columbia
I was Biden’s antisemitism envoy. I had been considering an academic appointment at the Ivy League institution. Not anymore.
Until last week, I had been seriously considering teaching at Columbia University next year as a visiting professor. But I’m now convinced that to do so would be folly—to serve as a prop or a fig leaf. Moreover, I feel doing so would mean putting myself and my students at risk.
I have spent most of my professional career on American campuses, teaching courses on religion and history. I took a brief break to serve in the Biden administration as the United States’ Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism from May 2022 to January 2025.
It was from that perch that I watched the alarming unraveling of campuses that claimed to be dedicated to the pursuit of truth transform themselves into places where basic morality had been inverted. Following Hamas’s attack of October 7, 2023, things went from bad to worse...

Some universities in the U.S. have improved their protection of Jewish students, while many still fail to do so, according to a U.S. Campus Report Card by the Anti-Defamation League, published on Monday. The report also shows that almost half of the institutions examined in 2024 showed an improvement in their indicators. The report shows that 36% of the academic institutions examined in the U.S. received a good grade of A or B, an increase from 23.5% last year. On the other hand, 9.6% of the institutions received an F rating.
The updated index of how U.S. colleges and universities are dealing with antisemitism examined 135 institutions – 50 more than last year – using 30 evaluation criteria, giving them grades from A (best) to F (worst). Columbia University, where anti-Israel protests have been held since October 7, 2023, remained at a D rating.

Pallywood film wins Oscar.
Oscar-winning filmmakers caught on video pestering IDF troops.
The scene in "No Other Land," described in the film as "settler violence and IDF cruelty," was a staged provocation, according to the local council.
The Mount Hebron Regional Council, which administers Jewish towns in southern Judea, published never-before-seen footage on Wednesday showing 2025 Best Documentary Oscar winners Yuval Abraham and Basel Adra harassing a group of Israel Defense Forces soldiers in the area.
“This scene is described in the film as ‘settler violence and IDF cruelty in Massafer Yatta.’ In reality, it was just a planned, staged provocation and harassment of IDF soldiers in IDF Firing Zone 918,” the regional council said in a joint statement with the Regavim Movement lobbying group.
The activists featured in Abraham and Basel’s award-winning film “No Other Land” are “nothing but paid actors,” the statement concluded.
In the IDF body cam footage, Abraham and Adra can be seen joining a group of far-left activists with cameras who attempt to back several Israeli soldiers providing security in the area into a corner.
“Back off! Get out of here! Back off!” Abraham screams at the soldiers, accusing one of them of sexually harassing him and other activists.
“Who do you think you are, talking to soldiers like that? Shame on you,” troops tell him, adding: “Who did I touch? My hands are in my pockets.”
Israeli Minister of Culture and Sports Miki Zohar shared the footage on X, tweeting: “Oscar winners should be ashamed that their title was achieved by abusing IDF soldiers who fight to defend the country.”

Article: 'Propaganda without boundaries: How Hamas exploits, abuses, weaponizes children.
In an era where a single image can go viral within minutes and shape global public opinion, the exploitation of children by Hamas has become a strategic tool.
Are we finally at a tipping point? The severity of the case above led the leader of the Conservative Party in Britain, Kemi Badenoch, to demand an investigation into whether money was transferred to Hamas during the production of the film. Could it be that the BBC not only served as a media platform for Hamas terrorists but may have also funded its activities?!
The harsh public criticism forced the BBC to remove the film from its iPlayer service and announce “further due diligence” with the production company. But the damage was already done - millions of viewers worldwide were exposed to mendacious propaganda centered around a child who was exploited by both a terrorist organization and a once-respected British broadcasting network.
Hamas’s evil does not only stretch to abusing their own children as propaganda tools but also Israeli children during this war. One of the most well-known and truly shocking cases was that of the Bibas family's young children. They were kidnapped from their kibbutz home on October 7, along with their brave mother, Shiri.
Hamas not only kidnapped these innocent children but also abused and murdered them in the most brutal manner imaginable. As if that wasn’t enough, the organization chose to display their bodies on a hostage stage in Gaza, crossing every possible red line of humanity – horrifically using their bodies as propaganda tools.
Media exploitation is but the tip of the iceberg. Hamas's education is the core issue, one that would fester for generations to come. The organization instills hatred in children from a young age and operates summer camps where minors train in shooting and learn to “fight the Zionists.”
Hamas uses children – dead and alive – as part of its propaganda mechanism, without any moral restraints. Children are not seen by Hamas as individuals to be protected but as tools in the cognitive struggle. This is manifested both in the recruitment of minors for terrorist activities, in their exploitation for public relations purposes, and in the horrific use of their bodies as a means of spreading fear and hatred.
As a seasoned media professional, literally on the front lines of the information war, I call upon my peers to open their eyes. Check your sources carefully. Understand that behind every “spontaneous” image of a child in ruins may lurk a well-oiled propaganda apparatus.
As human beings, we cannot afford to ignore this shocking phenomenon. Our silence is tacit consent. As long as we continue to give a platform to propaganda that exploits children, we will be complicit in the ongoing crime against humanity of exploiting innocent minors.'
Labour peer joins calls for ‘proper independent review’ into BBC Middle East coverage.

'"No Other Land" exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist:
Below is the text of a post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land." Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. Here are some notable parts: 🔸 "I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent." 🔸 "This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer & co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani." 🔸 "The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers." 🔸 "This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents." 🔸 "Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit." 🔸 "I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area." 🔸 "Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them." 🔸 "The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor." 🔸 "Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information. And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it."
And:
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat). Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922. The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities. Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census. It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox. The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs. In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as "The Moscovia," which still exists today. In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community. A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police. This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style. The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor. Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more. Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information. And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it."

Agam Berger in a message to the people of Israel: "Keep the Sabbath for the sake of the hostages".

Berger's moving request joins the request of comedian, network star and Chief Smile Officer, Guy Hochman, who called on the general Jewish public to observe the upcoming Shabbat with him on his social media this week - Shabbat Zachor, a remembrance of what Amalek did in the past and today to the Jewish people. Hochman shared that last year was the first Shabbat he had observed in his life, as part of an initiative that thousands of Jews joined.
"Last year, for those who remember, I decided to observe Shabbat for the first time in my life. It was Shabbat Parashat Zachor, 'What Amalek did to you.' Let us remember who our enemy is and who we are," Hochman shared in a video he posted on TikTok, emphasizing that "this year I intend to once again call on everyone to join me – for a civic remembrance Shabbat."

Jewish Students face increasing hostility as Antisemitism surges in [heavily Arab-Islamic populated] France, new report finds.
Antisemitism in France has increasingly targeted Jewish students, exposing them to more violent rhetoric and behavior since the outbreak of the Hamas-Israel war in October 2023, according to a new bombshell report.
The Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (CRIF), the main representative body of French Jews, on Wednesday released a major study on the scale of hatred and violence specifically targeting Jewish students in the country due to their religion or origin. The report, compiled jointly with the Jean-Jaurès Foundation and French media company IFOP, is based on testimonies and interviews with Jewish male and female students educated across the country.
The study comes amid a rise in antisemitism in France following Hamas’s massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. According to CRIF, the study’s findings highlight how everyday antisemitism, through its presence in daily language, helps legitimize more violent rhetoric and behavior.
During the 2023-2024 school year, the Ministry of National Education recorded 1,670 antisemitic incidents, accounting for nearly half of the total 3,630 racist and antisemitic acts reported.
This shows a 300 percent increase in antisemitic incidents from the 2022-2023 school year, with 400 antisemitic acts out of 1,270 total racist and antisemitic incidents reported. The proportion of antisemitic acts has also grown from less than a third to nearly half of all recorded incidents.
The study explains that the antisemitism emerging in schools stigmatizes and isolates students, particularly due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, making it difficult for them to “report on the hostility they experience.”
Based on the testimonies and interviews conducted, researchers found that the school experience of Jewish students is predominantly similar, chiefly marked by an “invasive anti-Jewish hostility.”
“Faced with this hostility and in order to protect themselves, students try to remain in the background: hiding their Jewish identity or their connection to Israel, and being careful not to respond to the challenges and accusations from their peers, which are often directed at them through the figure of Israel,” the report says.
In the testimonies of Jewish students, it’s not only the Gaza war that dominates everyday conversations but also a particular anti-Israel perspective. The study found that a “demonized image of Israel” is brought into schools, and “this image is expressed through a division between two sides, one of good and one of evil.”
The ITIC reports on ‘Turkey as a Center for Hamas Activity’.
“Turkey, under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is one of Hamas’ most important strategic allies, especially since the violent events of the Mavi Marmara flotilla in 2010. Turkey hosts senior Hamas figures, some of whom have received Turkish citizenship, and provides political, diplomatic and propaganda support, as well as economic and humanitarian assistance.
Hamas has established one of its most important overseas centers in Turkey, primarily operated by prisoners released in the Gilad Shalit exchange deal of 2011. It uses Turkey to plan terrorist attacks and transfer funds to finance terrorist activities inside Israel, in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip, and to raise and launder money in support of its terrorist operations, including the October 7, 2023, attack and massacre.”

ICE arrests Palestinian Columbia anti-Israel protest leader. Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian Arab graduate student, had been one of the most visible figures during the protests, serving as a negotiator between student activists and university officials as they sought to dismantle the anti-Israel encampment on campus.
He led a coalition of twisted radicals seeking the “total eradication of Western Civilization” responsible for riotous protests at Columbia University and Barnard College.
'Columbia University Apartheid[sic] Divest leader Mahmoud Khalil, who completed his graduate studies at Ivy League Columbia in December, also potentially faces having his visa revoked and his green card canceled following President Trump’s crackdown on unrest at colleges, attorney Amy Greer said Sunday.
He was inside his university-owned apartment a few blocks from campus Saturday night when ICE agents entered the residence and took him into custody, Greer said.
Despite graduating months ago, Khalil, who earned his undergraduate degree in Beirut, still lived in school-provided housing due to a policy allowing students to remain on campus after graduating, a source told The Post.
He has remained active in recent disruptive protests, including last week’s takeover of the Milstein Library at Barnard College. Videos and photographs posted on X depict him holding a bullhorn near the library entrance and engaged in discussion with school administrators.
That protest featured violent propaganda flyers that purportedly came directly from the “Hamas Media Office,” including one pamphlet titled “Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” which justified the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people — and in which women were repeatedly raped, whole families were executed and 251 hostages were taken to the Gaza Strip.
Others at the Barnard library takeover passed around trading card-like photos of notorious Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon last September.'

Mahmoud Khalil lies that his grandparents were ‘forcibly removed’ from Tiberias in 1948. CNN and the NYTimes accept it as a supposed "fact." Historical fact:
'Five months after waging his war of annihilation on the Yishuv, the Mufti’s strategy had backfired in grand style. His forces, together with the ALA, had been routed, and Palestinian Arab society had been profoundly shattered, with tens of thousands of terrified and disorientated Arabs taking to the road. On April 18, another milestone in the war was passed when, after a few days of fighting, the Hagana made its first urban gain, capturing the mixed-population city of Tiberias, overlooking the Sea of Galilee, where some 6,000 Jews and about as many Arabs were living.
Ignoring pleas by the local Jewish leadership to stay put, the Arabs acting on the orders of the Nazareth National Committee and on the advice of local British commanders chose to leave Tiberias en masse and were evacuated by the British army….'

Israel dismisses as 'blood libel' UN accusations of IDF sexual violence in Gaza. Prime minister calls UN Human Rights Council, which released the report, "an anti-Israel circus"; Report accuses security forces of using forced public stripping as part of standard operating procedures to punish Palestinians; Israeli mission says forces act in accordance with international law. In FM statement, the ministry said, “This is one of the worst cases of blood libel the world has ever seen (and the world has seen many). It blames the victims for the crimes committed against them. Hamas is the organization that committed horrific sexual crimes against Israelis. This is indeed a sick document that only an antisemitic organization like the UN could have produced.” Netanyahu condemned the report, calling it "an anti-Israel circus." He stated that "the so-called UN Human Rights Council has long been exposed as an antisemitic, corrupt, and pro-terror body that has no legitimacy.
"It is no coincidence that Israel withdrew from this body about a month ago. This is not a Human Rights Council — it is a council of blood libel.
"Once again, the UN chooses to attack Israel with false accusations, including outrageous and baseless claims of sexual violence."

NYPD makes ‘multiple’ arrests, as anti-Israel protesters hold sit-in at Trump Tower. Mahmoud Khalil, the recent Columbia grad whose release from federal custody the protesters seek, filed a lawsuit with seven students against Columbia, Barnard and a House committee.

Ramzi Kassem - lawyer for radical Columbia grad student racist-Arab Mahmoud Khalil, repped Al Qaeda members—including 'close associate' of Bin Laden.
The WashingtonPost Khalil article is a textbook example of media bias: cherry picking "experts" to come to a wrong conclusion The Washington Post's official slogan is "Democracy Dies in Darkness." Outrageously, the newspaper actively contributes to the darkness it claims to dispel.
It writes, "Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest violates First Amendment protections, lawyers say." The article is written by the Post's Sarah Ellison, their "Democracy Reporter."
The article quotes four lawyers. Jeffrey Pyle, First Amendment specialist at Prince Lobel, says Khalil's detention is “as clear a First Amendment violation as any case I’ve ever seen.” Sonja West, First Amendment professor at (University of Georgia Law School, asserts the government “disappeared” Khalil for his speech. Stephen Vladeck, constitutional law professor at Georgetown, labels it a “core” First Amendment case, not fringe. The fourth lawyer quoted is Baher Azmy, from the Center for Constitutional Rights, who is on Khalil’s defense team.
Sarah Ellison started her research from the premise that this is a First Amendment case and only interviewed lawyers with a First Amendment focus.
They didn't interview a single expert on immigration law.
As shown, a strong case can be made that Khalil should be deported under existing immigration law because he is a representative of a political, social, or other group that endorses or espouses terrorist activity. No one can claim he is not a representative of Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) and it is difficult to argue that CUAD does not endorse or espouse terrorist activity. They handed out "newspapers" with an ad showing Hamas embarking on their October 7 pogrom saying "Victory to the Resistance" and they praised the terror attack in Tel Aviv last October that murdered seven civilians.

Dozens of Wikipedia editors colluded on years-long anti-Israel campaign, bombshell ADL report.
More than two dozen Wikipedia editors allegedly colluded in a years-long scheme to inject anti-Israel language on topics related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Anti-Defamation League claimed in a bombshell report released Mar/18.
The rogue editors, at least 30 of them, flooded one of the world’s most popular sites with “antisemitic narratives, anti-Israel bias, and misleading information,” according to the report by the ADL’s Center for Tech and Society.
The bias also extended to pervasive “pro-Hamas perspectives” across Arabic-language Wikipedia content, the report claimed.

(Related: Pirate Wires@PirateWires: NEW WIKIPEDIA INVESTIGATION: How Wikipedia’s Pro-Hamas Editors Hijacked the Israel-Palestine Narrative
• A seemingly coordinated campaign led by around 40 Wikipedia editors has worked to delegitimize Israel, present radical Islamist groups in a favorable light, and position fringe academic views on the Israel-Palestine conflict as mainstream over past years, intensifying after the October 7 attack
• Six weeks after October 7, one of these editors successfully removed mention of Hamas’ 1988 charter, which calls for the killing of Jews and the destruction of Israel, from the article on Hamas
• The group also appeared to attempt to promote the interests of the Iranian government across a number of articles, including deleting “huge amounts of documented human rights crimes by [Islamic Republic Party] officials”
• A group called Tech For Palestine launched a separate but complementary campaign after October 7, which violated Wikipedia policies by coordinating to edit Israel-Palestine articles on the group 8,000 member Discord
• Tech For Palestine abandoned its efforts and sent its members into a panic after a blog discovered what they were doing; the group deleted all its Wiki Talk pages and Sandboxes they had been using to coordinate their editing efforts, and the main editor deleted all her chats from the group’s Discord channel).

Chilling step-by-step ‘manual’ for anti-Israel radicals to sow violent chaos is circulated among Columbia students.
A twisted anarchist how-to for wannabe violent anti-Israel agitators has been circulating among Columbia University students — offering a deeply disturbing step-by-step to sowing chaos and destruction.
The chilling 14-page “underground manual” provides excruciatingly detailed tips to help commit destructive criminal acts, with advice such as always buy sledgehammers with cash and consider blocking a targeted building’s water or sewer pipes with concrete “for a messy surprise” — while taking a slew of steps to evade law enforcement.
'Mahmoud Kahlil gives the game away in his letter.
He says “being ‘Palestinian’ transcends borders.” Indeed, it does, because Palestinianism is an eliminationist ideology, an excuse and cover for savage terrorism in the name of “freedom,” a manufactured, lie-based manipulation strategy, a movement opposed to the existence of Jews in the Middle East as anything other than dhimmis, and a worldview and political identity fundamentally contrary to American foreign policy — rather than a nationality or an ethnicity.
His ideology is “Palestinian.” But his citizenship is Algerian. His former residence is Syrian. And he will never be an American.
He claims to have been born in a “refugee camp” in Syria — which is an indictment of Syria, the UN, and the entire Arab world, not an indictment or the fault of America or Israel.
If he could not call himself a “‘Palestinian’ refugee,” what would he even be? If he could not cling to that false identity, would he be anything? Underneath that lie, he is nothing.
His identity is rooted in negativity and false victimhood. He is a voluntary victim. He knows nothing else, and he wants nothing else.
He pathetically labels himself a “political prisoner,” in an inane attempt to seem strong and important (though it is clear that he is neither), and in a useless effort to delegitimize the rule of law in the United States — the country that hosted him, the country whose terms and conditions of alien residence he violated, and the country which he cannot even bother to acknowledge or pretend to love.
He never says that he loves America, wants America to prosper, or wants to be American. He never says that to be a guest in America is, or was, a source of pride. For him, it is not. It never was.
Read between the lines. Mahmoud Kahlil does not actually want to stay in America. He wanted to destroy it from the inside out. He failed.
This is not a letter asking for clemency, or forgiveness. These are the words of a defeated man who never belonged in the greatest nation on the planet. These are the words of a man who is beneath us all. He knows it. We know it. And he knows that we know it.
These are the words of a man who never could be an American, never sought to be an American, and never will be an American.'
'To racist Arab supremacist Mahmoud Khalil ironically crying fake "racism." Pallyweid. Arabs are Arabs. And Arab immigrants now called "Palestinians" are still Arab. And yes, pro Hamas is already racism plus genocide. Any question? Citations and actions really still needed to be cited?'
Amna Nawaz's PBS slammed for coverage of Hezbollah-sympathizing Brown University doctor. It is catching flak for its coverage of the deportation of a Brown University doctor after leaving out key details regarding her links to the terror group Hezbollah.
'Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 47, from Lebanon, was deported from Boston Logan International Airport to Paris on Friday despite having a US visa and a teaching job at the Ivy League college in Rhode Island.
Border officials moved to expel Alawieh from the country after they found 'sympathetic photos and videos' of prominent Hezbollah figures in a deleted items folder on her cellphone.
The physician, who specializes in kidney transplants in addition to her teaching duties at Brown, also told Customs and Border Protection agents that she attended the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah while visiting Lebanon.
PBS News reported on Tuesday that the doctor was deported 'without explanation,' and it failed to update its coverage to provide additional context about the reasons why.
Social media users slammed the outlet for 'conveniently' leaving out those details.
'Wouldn't you expect a real news organization to at least mention the fact that Professor Rasha Alawieh left America to attend the funeral of the leader of a US designated terrorist organization?' one X user asked . 'Seems like an important detail to explain denying her re-entry to America.'
'PBS = liars. Tell the whole truth,' another wrote bluntly.
'There's still time to delete this,' a third added.
'You spelled terrorist sympathizer wrong,' a fourth chimed in.
'1000% PBS is omitting critical parts from this story,' yet another declared.
'It's almost like they intentionally omitted that fact to make it seem like a bad decision,' a critic added.
Others called the outlet 'pathetic' and accused it of spreading 'propaganda.'
'Without explanation?! She just attended the funeral in support of the leader of HEZBOLLAH!' an X user wrote.
'You're not telling the whole story,' another added.
Other gave PBS a new nickname: 'Propaganda Broadcasting System.'

Amazon hit series ‘House of David’ portrays biblical King David as an ‘underdog’ with a ‘message of resilience’.
American culture these days is awash with stories of succession (the Murdoch empire), family drama (the Kennedys) and power (President Donald Trump on social media donning a kingly crown). Now comes a biblical tale to rival today’s news cycle — the coming-of-age story of King David — an “underdog” who comes to rule over the “House of David.”
The show’s creators, Christian filmmakers Jon Gunn and Jon Erwin, attribute the success of the series — which has become the No. 2 most-watched on Prime Video since the eight-episode season premiered on Feb. 27 — to the lessons King David’s story imparts to audiences about dealing with political rivalries and international conflicts.
“Story is everything. ‘House of David’ brings to life one of the most compelling, dramatic and human stories in all of history — the rise of an underdog. I think audiences connect with that,” Gunn, the show’s executive producer, co-director and co-writer, said.
“David’s story is timeless. He was a warrior, a poet, a flawed leader, a man after God’s own heart — yet deeply human. His rise, his failures and his redemption all speak to the weight of power,” he said.

"BBC Verify" doesn't verify anything that exonerates Israel.
While the BBC briefly mentioned Israel's denial, it does not go beyond that, quoting multiple UN sources as saying that it was definitely artillery or another purposeful strike that could only have come from Israel.
What the BBC didn't think was worth mentioning was that all of the UN workers - one of whom died - were members of the UN Mine Action Service, information that had been available to the BBC three hours before publication.
One can see their logos on their shirts.
When Israel denies striking an area, they aren't known to lie. If they struck it they would say that there was a legitimate target or that there was an accident, but they wouldn't deny it.
In this case, the IDF said, “Contrary to reports, the IDF did not attack a UN compound in Deir al-Balah. The IDF calls on media outlets to exercise caution with unverified reports.”
We know that Hamas has placed thousands of explosives in buildings and roads. I predicted in January that innocents will die from these IEDs - and Hamas will blame Israel.
These UN deminers were almost certainly injured by an IED. Their jobs plus Israel's denial of any activity in the area almost guarantee it.

Federal judge transfers case of Columbia activist to New Jersey
In his ruling Wednesday, Judge Furman determined that because Khalil was in New Jersey when his legal team filed the petition, the New York court “lacks jurisdiction over most, if not all, of Khalil’s claims.” He further stated that legal statutes require the case to be transferred to New Jersey rather than Louisiana, as it was “the one and only district in which Khalil could have filed his Petition when he did.”
Furman also reaffirmed that his March 10 order barring Khalil’s deportation remains in effect “unless and until the transferee court orders otherwise.”
While Khalil’s legal team has pushed for his immediate release, Judge Furman has not yet ruled on that request, focusing instead on jurisdictional ...
Khalil’s arrest followed the Trump administration’s official announcement that it would revoke $400 million in federal grants due to Columbia’s handling of antisemitism.
Columbia has come under increased scrutiny over the rise in antisemitism on campus since the Hamas massacre in Israel on October 7, 2023 and has seen a resurgence of anti-Israel activity in recent weeks.
In January, anti-Israel students disrupted an Israeli history class by banging drums, chanting “Free Palestine,” and distributing fliers that depicted a boot stomping on a Star of David.
The students were later expelled, prompting protests at Barnard College. The demonstrations escalated when protesters took over the Barnard College library, leading to multiple arrests.

Four more Arabs sentenced to jail for Amsterdam pogrom attack against Israeli soccer fans Nov/2024.
'An Amsterdam court announced at a public hearing on Wednesday jail sentences, ranging from 11 days to three months, for four more perpetrators of the violent attack against Israeli soccer fans that took place in the streets of the Dutch capital last year.
The lengthiest sentence of three months, with the deduction of pre-trial detention, was given to a 27-year-old man who incited violence against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans on Nov. 7, 2024, with messages posted in a WhatsApp group chat that had thousands of members. He wrote “Dead Jew better than a living Jew” and messages about “Dirty cancer [sic] Jews.”
The court shared several other of his offensive messages, one of which included an image of Holocaust victim Anne Frank alongside the text “slaughter gas is for losers. I use Zyklon B,” referring to the deadly gas used in gas chambers at Nazi concentration camps. He had also shared an image of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler with the text “pull up pull up gas,” a drawing of Hitler with a swastika, and the message “Hamas Hamas all Jews on the gas.”
The 27-year-old also insulted Jews, made comments trivializing the Holocaust, and shared locations of “those Jews” so they would be attacked during the “Jew hunting” rampage that took place on Nov. 7. He even provided a time and location for attackers to gather and coordinate their assault, which took place in Amsterdam after Maccabi Tel Aviv competed against the Dutch team Ajax in a UEFA Europa League match. The court said he confessed to assisting in the violence carried out by dozens of anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian gangs.'

ICE arrests Indian Georgetown doctoral student, accused of spreading Hamas propaganda. Georgetown 'not aware' of student Badar Khan Suri 'engaging in any illegal activity,' university says.
The foreign exchange student studying at Georgetown University was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Monday Mar/18.
Badar Khan Suri, an Indian national and doctoral student in the U.S. on a student visa, was accused of "actively spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media," a senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official said in a statement.
"Suri has close connections to a known or suspected terrorist, who is a senior advisor to Hamas," the DHS statement continued. DHS did not name the suspected terrorist or Hamas advisor.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio determined on March 15 that Suri’s activities and presence in the U.S. "rendered him deportable" under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the senior official said.
Palestinian Arabs made up the first "Jews killed JFK" conspiracy theory only three days after he was assassinated. Over the past two days, the US released thousands of documents related (sometimes very tenuously) to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Immediately, antisemites tried to find ways that somehow those documents implicated Israel or Jews. For example, a 1954 letter that indicated that there was a secret channel of communication between Israeli intelligence and the CIA has been trumpeted as proving...I have no idea, but whatever it is, the Jews must have been up to no good.
(Related: The same Arab racism made up a libel re Robert Kennedy in 1968).

UN staffer hospitalized in Israel has pro-Nazi tattoos. The Israeli envoy to the United Nations sent a letter to the global body on Thursday demanding a "thorough investigation."
The employee, who was injured in a booby trap attack in Gaza, was first taken to a hospital in Gaza before being transferred to Israel for further care.
The man has a tattoo on an arm that states, in German in heavy black letters, “my honor is loyalty,” which the Anti-Defamation League describes as the motto of the Waffen SS.
“It is a reference to the organization’s loyalty to Adolf Hitler,” per the ADL website. “Since World War II, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists around the world use this German phrase, or its equivalent in English or other languages, as a hate slogan.”
On the other arm, apparently, the U.N. staffer has a large tattoo of the face of an SS soldier or officer, wearing a Nazi hat, sunglasses and a collar with apparent Nazi symbols.

Columbia U bans masks, expands Israel programs. Anti-Israel protest epicenter agrees to Trump admin’s conditions for restoring federal funding.
“The way Columbia and Columbians have been portrayed is hard to reckon with,” stated Katrina Armstrong, the university’s interim president.
The University will implement reforms, including a mask ban and increased oversight of its Middle Eastern studies department, to comply with the Trump administration’s demand to address Jew-hatred on campus or risk losing $400 million in federal funding.
Biased PBS News hour interviewed Christopher Eisgruber of Princeton University about Columbia U agreeing to push back on Antisemitism and changes on "research" regarding Israel-Palestine.
He wrote in the Atlantic about "academic freedom":
Two main aspects were missing from the conversation:
1. Qatar [Hamas' hosts] bribing universities.
2. Anti freedom atmosphere by violent Arab "palestine" activists intimidating students and professors. (Asides from long record of neo-nazi propaganda pusher Joseph Massad methods).

Steve Witkoff's surprising statement
US special envoy Steve Witkoff says. Hamas may be allowed to have a political say if it lays down its weapons.
Stressing that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has good motives, he noted that Hamas is almost completely eliminated, Hezbollah is significantly weakened, and Israel has sent a powerful message to the Iranian government.
"We would not be as effective in the region if he didn't do what he did [with Hezbollah and Hamas], not even close."
He explained, "I think he [Netanyahu] did an exceptional job, but the rap he gets is that he's more concerned about the fight than he is about the hostages. I understand how people could make that assessment, but I don't necessarily agree with it."
'I think Bibi believes that he's doing the right thing. I think he goes up against public opinion 'cause the public opinion [in Israel] wants those hostages home."...
Only after the attack on Gaza did Hamas return to the negotiating table.

Racist Arab Muslim, (of Algerian origin and married to a "Palestinian") Fatima Labeche (of Strongsville, OH, a Cleveland suburb just 8 miles from Cleveland’s Hopkins International Airport), claims, as a TSA employee, she deliberately told an Israeli passenger, “Safe travels to Palestine.”
When he corrected her, she falsely claimed he was harassing her, called her manager, and got him subjected to a SECOND screening - causing him to miss his flight, made up a lie tjat he harasssed her. She openly boasts about this as her personal “intifada” against Jews.
The TSA responded:
“TSA does not tolerate discrimination. This individual has not been employed by TSA for 14 years.”
They wouldn’t respond about whether the agency knew about this story or the reasons for her separation from the TSA.

Good riddance: Northwestern’s Medill School denies tenure to Professor Steven Thrasher – and he is fuming.
Thrasher, of course, thinks he did nothing wrong. He sees his case as part of a trend, citing the March 8 detention of Columbia University pro-Palestinian protester Mahmoud Khalil by U.S. immigration officials as a parallel.
Thrasher’s journey to this moment has been turbulent. Just months ago, in July 2024, misdemeanor charges of “obstructing a police officer” from the encampment were dropped by the Cook County State’s Attorney. Medill launched an initial investigation into his conduct in September, canceling his Fall Quarter classes. By January, that probe cleared him of suspension-worthy offenses, only for a second investigation to follow. Now, despite a glowing 2023 mid-tenure review from Medill’s Promotion and Tenure Committee, Whitaker has labeled Thrasher’s teaching “inadequate”—a stark reversal Thrasher disputes.

Unmasking a Pattern: Mahmoud Khalil and the Amplification of Campus Radicalism.
A new study published by the Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM this week exposed a significant wave of inauthentic engagement on the X social media platform surrounding the recent detention of former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil by U.S. federal immigration authorities.
Working with the Cyabra analytics platform, the ARC found that between Feb. 25-March 25, 19% of 5,857 profiles that produced 9,040 posts and comments about the Khalil case (roughly 1,112) were flagged as fake, nearly double the 7–10% typical in organic discussions.
Of the 1,702 posts and comments from fake profiles, 987 demanded Khalil’s release, falsely portraying him as a principled activist, rather than an instigator of campus unrest and fomenter of antisemitism during the anti-Israel protests at Columbia last spring.
Frequent beatings, prolonged isolation and constant starvation: Omer Wenkert recounts brutal Hamas capitivity. Wenkert, kidnapped from Nova music festival on October 7, says in interview with WSJ that he was held completely alone for 193 days, trying to stay sane by reciting Israeli rap songs and Psalm passages Tehilim.
Omer Wenkert nicknamed one of his Hamas captors “Tznon,” Hebrew for radish, a nod to his bitterness. Eight months into captivity, Tznon turned violent. He opened the door of Wenkert’s underground cell—less than six feet tall and barely three feet wide—and kicked him three times in the head and twice in the back. The terrorist told Wenkert it was punishment for looking at him.
The next day, Tznon ordered him to perform push-ups, sit-ups and squats—what felt like hundreds. Wenkert eventually collapsed from exhaustion. Tznon spat on him and shouted insults. “Say you are a son of a bitch, say you are a dog,” Wenkert recalled him yelling. When Wenkert thought the ordeal was over and raised his head, he realized Tznon was still there. “Why are you looking at me?” the captor screamed, before striking Wenkert with a crowbar. The beatings continued—including on his 23rd birthday.

The statement echoes the words of French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, who has said that antisemitism now wears a “double face” in France, “Islamism and the far left,” while far-right anti-Semitism has become “residual.”…

'Literal torture': Former Gaza hostages tell of harrowing captivity on ‘60 Minutes’.
Yarden Bibas's captors told him that it didn't matter that his wife and children were dead: "You'll get a new wife. Get new kids. Better wife, better kids."
Bibas remained in captivity for 484 days. He was freed on Feb. 1, having lost 33 pounds. Abducted separately were his wife, Shiri, and two sons, Ariel, 4, and Kfir, 9 months old.
Their terrorist captors subsequently murdered Shiri and the children, and then claimed they had died in an Israeli airstrike.
When Hamas returned the bodies of Kfir, Ariel and, supposedly, Shiri on Feb. 20, it was discovered that the body of Shiri was that of an unidentified woman. Hamas eventually returned Shiri’s body after public pressure.
“They were murdered in cold blood,” Yarden said. “They [his captors] used to tell me, ‘Ah, doesn’t matter. You’ll get a new wife. Get new kids. Better wife, better kids.'”
Bibas’s best friend, David Cunio, whom he has known since the first grade, remains in captivity. Last month, his family said they had received news from a recently released captive that he was alive.
“I lost my wife and kids. Sharon must not lose her husband,” Bibas said of Cunio’s wife. Sharon and her then 3-year-old twin daughters were also kidnapped but they released in November 2023 as part of the first ceasefire deal.
Keith Siegel, 65, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, was held by Hamas for 484 days. He said he saw cruel abuse by Hamas terrorists.
“I witnessed a young woman who was being tortured by the terrorist. I mean literal, you know, torture, not just in a figurative sense. They made you watch it. Yeah, I saw sexual assault with female hostages,” he told “60 Minutes.”
Siegel said his situation worsened after his wife, Aviva, was released during the November 2023 ceasefire. “The terrorists became very mean and very cruel and violent,” he said. “They were beating me and starving me.
“They would often eat in front of me and not offer me food,” he said.
For showers, captives were given half a bucket of cold water once a month, with a cup to pour it over themselves.
Their heads and private parts were shaved. Siegel surmised the terrorists did this to amuse themselves. "I felt humiliated."
On Feb. 22, Hamas published a propaganda video showing Gilboa-Dalal and David at a ceremony for the release of others from captivity in Gaza.
Hamas forced the two men to watch the ceremony from inside a vehicle as hostages Eliya Cohen, 27, Avera Mengistu, 39, Hisham al-Sayed, 36, Omer Shem Tov, 22, Omer Wenkert, 23, and Shoham were released.
“Looking at their scared, frightened faces, begging to come out, wanting to be like their friends who got released, it is very hard to see your son begging for his life, asking to come out,” Dalal’s father told at the time.
Shoham told “60 Minutes” that one of the “toughest things” he heard from the two was when they asked whether they wouldn’t be better off killing themselves to put an end to their suffering.

It has imposed disciplinary sanctions on the pro-Hamas student group Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) following its staging an unauthorized demonstration, placing it on probation and suspending its privilege to hold campus events until long after the end of this academic year.
The measure, announced on Wednesday, brings PSC operations to a halt, The Harvard Crimson reported, as the group planned to hold eight events in the month of April alone. Harvard told the paper that PSC’s own actions prompted the severe response from the administration. The group, it said, used “amplified sound” during Tuesday’s protest outside University Hall, obstructed university business, and invited an unrecognized group, Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine (HOOP), to participate in the demonstration.

Captivity survivor Omer Wenkert: For 505 days, I was starved, humiliated, and beaten.
Hamas captivity survivor Omer Wenkert speaks of his time in captivity. 'I was held in extreme conditions in a narrow tunnel with a waste pit beside me.'
Released hostage Omer Wenkert spoke Saturday night at a rally at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, describing the inhumane conditions Hamas kept him and other hostages in.
"I was returned to life about a month and a half ago. But I'm not really here, only half of me stands here," Wenkert said. "Part of me is still captive in a tunnel. Like my fellow returnees, I am also going through physical and emotional rehabilitation these days. I know that my true rehabilitation will be when my beloved brothers Guy and Evyatar board a helicopter, walk into the room where their loved ones are waiting, and they will be home in Israel again."
He continued, "I was kidnapped from a shelter where 28 young men and women were murdered, including my best friend, my sunshine who became my guardian angel - Kim Damti."
"In captivity, I was held in extreme conditions in a narrow tunnel with a waste pit beside me. For 505 days I was starved, humiliated, beaten. Of those, I was alone for 197 days and nearly lost my sanity.
"The word freedom sounds grand, but it is also simple: to be with family. To wake up in the morning with peace in your heart. To know you are free to dream, to hug, to love, to laugh, to cry – without fear. Freedom is the most basic value of a state born out of yearning for freedom. Guy and Evyatar - be strong for yourselves and for me. I promise you and all the hostages - we will not give up. You are coming back!"
Hamas captivity survivor Liri Albag said, "When the first deal collapsed, I collapsed too. I remember that moment when everything that kept us going – shattered...
"While we are here – they are going through hell there! A year and a half of torture and physical, mental, psychological – and even sexual violence! They threatened to cut off our hands if they discovered we lied to them or did something forbidden. They forbade us from crying, forbade us from hugging each other, forbade us from listening to one another in moments of crisis. They are going through a year and a half of hunger, uncertainty, pain. A year and a half in constant fear.
"This week is Passover – the holiday of freedom. But what freedom is there when 59 people are still in Hamas' hell? I remember Passover there, a sad holiday, we were alone. The most family-oriented holiday we spent far from home. They made us work there! We were their servants!
"And now the holiday of freedom has arrived. And our brothers and sisters are still there. They sit there, in dark tunnels, without food, without water, alone, helpless, not knowing if they have a tomorrow. Any return to fighting endangers them! If these are orders from Hamas senior ranks – the hostages are the first to pay the price! If the Air Force attacks – sadly then too the hostages are in danger! We are one people, one heart – and we leave no one behind!"
'I'd like to get as many hostages as we can'
Gadi Moses, who was also released in the deal with Hamas, said: "In about a week, we will celebrate Passover – the holiday of freedom. This year, the meaning of my freedom is much deeper. After 482 days in captivity by Islamic Jihad, I am free again among my family and my people."
"The drums of war echo in my ears again. I was there and heard these sounds from the other side of the border too. It's terrible and frightening! It chokes the throat and paralyzes the soul. Our captive brothers lose all hope when the sounds of shells whistle from every side.
"The hostages' time is not unlimited. There are sick ones, wounded ones, desperate ones, and those who are mentally injured.
"As a people, we are committed to them both morally and in our values. They are our brothers who were murdered and kidnapped as free citizens in a democratic state, or soldiers who went to defend the country. We must not abandon them in their time of distress. There is a great danger of more hostages dying and a danger of some of our dead hostages disappearing. Stop the war and bring everyone back now!"
Amit Bendor-Gus, friend of Edan Alexander, who is still held hostage in Gaza, said: ...
"We need to bring back an American-Israeli citizen, Edan Alexander, and the other remaining 58 hostages home. That would be a success. That would be a Passover miracle."
Herut Nimrodi, mother of Tamir Nimrodi, who is also held hostage in Gaza, added: "Ironically, my name is Herut ('freedom' in Hebrew). I was born at a time of year when we mark a sequence of events in Jewish history that shaped us as a people. When the Jewish people emerged from darkness to light. Passover, Holocaust Remembrance Day, Independence Day. My parents, in their innocence, thought, what could be more fitting than 'Herut'?"
"Where is our freedom? Where is my freedom? Where is the freedom of my Tamir? Where is the freedom of 58 more hostages and their families? Where is the freedom of our people? We are here tonight, just steps away from another Seder night without our children. Another holiday with no joy. Only pain, longing, and deep concern for our loved ones. For a year and a half, we have been crying out and our children are still languishing in Hamas tunnels."

The some 200 American family members of Oct. 7 victims filing thevlawsuit in D.C. federal court, accuse Palestinian-American billionaire Bashar Masri of knowingly providing substantial assistance to Hamas’s terror infrastructure in Gaza that carried out the deadliest attack in Israel’s history.
The lawsuit alleges that Masri, Chairman of the Palestine Development and Investment Company (PADICO) and Massar International, knowingly worked with Hamas for many years despite the group’s designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the US government since 1997. Masri is a naturalized American citizen with significant business ties to global corporations such as Apple and Nvidia, and he also sits on the board of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

Article: A Palestinian’s Brutal Murder in Gaza. Deafening silence on America’s college campuses.
A Palestinian’s brutal murder in Gaza will prompt no campus protests in America. Why? Because Hamas committed the murder. America’s pro-Hamas heroes will, therefore, ignore it because it doesn’t fit their anti-Israel agenda.
Though you would not know from the establishment media’s comparative lack of coverage, there have been recent anti-Hamas protests by Palestinians in Gaza. Of course, despite exemplifying resistance to oppressive rule and repressive force, these do not fit the one-sided narrative on the situation there.
Among the unreported heroes of this true Palestinian resistance was Oday Nasser Al Rabay. He was just 22 years old, roughly the same age as those who populate the so-called pro-Palestinian protests on America’s elite college campuses.
Al Rabay’s offense was attending one of the growing numbers of an anti-Hamas rallies in Gaza. For it, he was tortured for four hours, beaten to death, and then, with a rope around his body’s neck, his corpse was dragged back to the door of his family’s house. Said an officer of Gaza’s opposition Fatah party; his family was told, “This is the punishment for those who complain about Hamas.”
There are stark contrasts between this sickening event in Gaza and what will be a nonevent on America’s elite college campuses.
Dozens attended Al Rabay’s funeral. They shouted, “Hamas out!” Don’t expect similar protests on elite college campuses...'
'Mahmoud VS Oday: The falsehood of "pro palestine" is as lying as pallyweid slurs (PallyWeid: fake hyperbolic terms apartheid/genocide etc. Trend dating back to Hitler's helper Shukeiri). Pro :palestine" no. Racism [initiated by Arab-Islamist intolerance machine], bigotry or ignorance, yes.'

Terrorist who burned Jewish family's home to pay 47k to family. Court approves settlement for one of the terrorists involved in racially-motivated arson of Yushvaev family's home.
One of the racust Arab arsonists who set fire to a Jewish home in Jerusalem's Shimon Hatzadik neighborhood will pay tens of thousands of shekels to the family whose home was burned.
The Yushvaev family, whose home went up in flames in February 2022, will receive 47,000 NIS in compensation from one of the terrorists in question.
The arson was committed using firebombs, which were hurled towards the home, sparking a fire which caused severe damage to the children's bedroom. The family was forced to evacuate their home for an extended period of time, while the damage was fixed.
It was later determined that the arson was motivated by racism.
Both terrorists involved in the arson were arrested and tried in criminal court for a variety of serious crimes, including attempted arson motivated by racism, aggravated harm, carrying weapons, and acts of terror. They were convicted and sentenced to prison: one to 2.5 years in prison, and the other to six months in prison, alongside probation and a requirement to pay damages.

Iranian State Media boosts Tucker Carlson’s comments opposing US military action, condemning so-called ‘Neocons’.
The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), the official news agency of the state of Iran, published an article on Tuesday highlighting Carlson’s comments, in which the far-right podcast host and media personality warned the US against prosecuting a “destructive” war with Iran. Carlson cautioned that the US would surely “lose” any military confrontation with the Islamist regime and blamed unspecified “neocons” for suggesting federal lawmakers adopt a more aggressive posture toward Tehran...
The former Fox News host did not note in his social media post that US officials have long accused Iran of clandestinely pursuing nuclear weapons — a charge denied by Tehran — and labeled the Middle Eastern power as the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism.
Tuesday was not the first time that Carlson lambasted US foreign policy toward Iran and its terrorist proxies in the Middle East.
In January 2024, he condemned American military action against the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen as the “next step toward full scale war with Iran, which the foreign policy ghouls in Washington have been fantasizing about for decades.”..
Beyond Iran, Carlson has sparked controversy over the past year for spreading misinformation regarding Jewish history and Israel. In September 2024, Carlson drew outrage for platforming Holocaust revisionist and self-described historian Darryl Cooper. During their discussion on his podcast, Cooper appeared to downplay the Holocaust, argued that the US was on the “wrong side” of World War II, and suggested that the slaughter of six million Jews in concentration camps was “humane” because the Nazis did not have food to feed the “prisoners of war.”

Suicide bomber who killed five Israelis in Bulgaria buried in Hezbollah cemetery
On July 18, 2012, Mohamad Hassan El Husseini attacked a group of Israeli tourists at Burgas Airport.
The Lebanese-French suicide bomber who killed five Israelis and their local bus driver in Burgas, Bulgaria, on July 18, 2012, was buried on Friday in a cemetery designated for Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.
Abbas Ibrahim, a former head of the Lebanese General Security intelligence agency, told the Associated Press that he negotiated the return of the remains of Mohamad Hassan El Husseini.
On July 18, 2012, El Husseini, 23, struck a group of Israelis at Burgas Airport in Bulgaria, killing six (and himself) and wounding 32 others. The bombing occurred shortly after the tourists had arrived on a charter flight from Tel Aviv and boarded a bus to their hotel.
Israeli and Bulgarian authorities pinned the attack on the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist group.
El Husseini, who was eventually identified through a DNA analysis, had entered Bulgaria days before the bombing using the alias Jacques Felipe Martin.

'Dirty [sic] Jew': French Jew beaten on street in latest [Arab] antisemitic attack in Villeurbanne. The violent anti-Semitic attack, the third in a month, has rocked Villeurbanne in the Lyon metropolitan area. The Jewish man was beaten in the street by two suspects. One punched him in the face, while the other filmed the incident.
The prefecture assured on social media that France’s National Police were investigating the attack, and Prefect Fabienne Buccio said that she was determined to fight antisemitic incidents and would not let the perpetrators go unpunished.
Villeurbanne’s Mayor, Cédric Van Styvendael, decried the antisemitic assault in a Saturday Facebook post, promising to do everything to fight against “all forms of violence.”
“I hope that full light will be shed on this and that the perpetrators will be identified, arrested, and brought to justice without delay,” said Van Styvendael. “Impunity is not an option.”
La France Insoumise National Assembly member Gabriel Amard condemned the Tonkin Street attack on X/Twitter and called for the swift identification and prosecution of the attackers.
“Hate has no place in our city,” Amard wrote. “Let’s not let hate speech divide us.”
Former Villeurbanne mayor and former Socialist Party MP Jean-Paul Bret said that repeated incidents in the city required more than just outrage. On Instagram on Sunday, Bret called for a special city council meeting on the issue and for the dissemination of information against antisemitism on public transportation.
Le Progrès reported that on March 17, a 46-year-old woman on her way to a Hebrew class was called a “dirty [sic] Jew” by a woman in a black veil before being pushed up against a wall, stuck, spat on, and threatened that her throat would be slit if the attacker ever spotted her again. The outlet also reported the violent March 8 attack on a Jewish man that left him with multiple fractures.
Equality Minister Aurore Bergé noted the Friday Villeurbanne incident as part of a larger trend that included the Saturday clash between anti-Israel activists and pedestrians outside a Jewish-owned Strasbourg bakery.
Bergé condemned the incident on X, calling for all of society to act, noting that anti-Zionism had become the new face of the antisemitic prejudice that had killed so many in France in recent years.
Republicans party Bouches-du-Rhône Sen. Valérie Boyer said on X on Sunday that France had “fallen so low” that Jewish businesses were being targeted in Strasbourg.
“The list of antisemitic atrocities displaying the Palestinian flag is far too long,” said Boyer. “It is urgent and vital that this stops – and quickly!”
National Rally MEP Virginie Joron wrote on X that every Saturday, the city center of Strasbourg was “taken hostage,” and the municipality was doing nothing to protect shopkeepers and passersby.

Former hostage Keith Siegel (65): "I was starved, dehydrated, humiliated over and over, sat in the suffocating heat of tunnels 130 feet underground for days, forced to make propaganda videos. They tried to force me to convert to Islam. Through all of this, the only thing I was yearning for is to see my family again."
Throughout his time in Gaza, Mr. Siegel’s captors would spit on him and scream at him, he said. They would kick him as he lay on the floor and withhold food from him and other hostages, even as the captors ate.
As Mr. Siegel stepped into the room, panic washed over him: He found himself in the audience of a “medieval-style” trial by torture, he said.
The woman had been bound, and the guards were beating her with primitive tools. They demanded that she “tell the truth,” Mr. Siegel said. He was instructed to assist with getting a confession.
“I was told to go into the room and to tell the person that the torturing will continue until they admit what they were being accused of,” he said.
The episode was one of many that defined the horrific experience that Mr. Siegel, an Israeli American originally from North Carolina, and his fellow hostages endured in captivity.

Georgetown University identifies suspected perpetrator of Antisemitic graffiti, an antisemitic message in a residence hall, an incident that has caused alarm at an institution that was recently scrutinized over its student government’s scheduling a referendum on the anti-Israel boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement to take place during the Jewish holiday of Passover.
“The Georgetown University Police Department has identified a suspect in this case and is investigating it as a bias incident and hate crime,” said a statement addressing the incident that was signed by four high-level university officials — excluding interim president Robert Groves. “We strongly condemn antisemitism in all its forms, and this act of hatred has no place in our community.”
It continued, “We stand together with our Jewish community. We recognize the effect that this deeply troubling incident has on our community, including the impacts on individual students and employees.”
The officials added that other incidents of vandalism have been perpetrated on campus in “recent days,” prompting investigations by the institution’s police department. They noted that political disagreement is causing students to devalue one another to the point that they are willing to commit “discriminatory actions” for which there is “never justification.” They encouraged students to refer to the university’s Speech and Expression Policy for guidance on how to engage in civil political expression.
On Thursday, Students Supporting Israel (SSI) Georgetown — a Jewish advocacy group that is fighting to normalize the pro-Israel movement on campus — implored the university to impose a disciplinary measure on the perpetrator of the graffiti that matches the severity of the offense.
“SSI Georgetown is deeply concerned by the antisemitic graffiti recently found on campus — an act of hate that threatens the safety and dignity of Jewish students,” the group said. “We call on the university to hold those responsible accountable and make clear that antisemitism has no place at Georgetown. SSI stands proudly with the Jewish community and all communities that are recipients of hate, and we remain committed to ensuring students can live and express their identity without fear.”
The antisemitic incident comes amid a moment of turbulence at Georgetown University.
Earlier this week, its Student Association (GUSA) rescheduled an anti-Israel referendum after numerous complaints that holding it during Passover would effectively disenfranchise Jewish students by depriving them of a chance to express opposition to the measure at the ballot box.
GUSA said that it moved the referendum date to acknowledge concerns raised by SSI, as well as Chabad Georgetown, Georgetown Israel Alliance, and the Jewish Student Association.

Investigative journalist:
'Vermont, Mohsen Mahdawi, and Mountains of Useful Idiots.
All it takes is two days of digging to unravel an entire story.
Let me tell you the real story of Mohsen Mahdawi, the latest student to have been arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the PR campaign he launched to publicize his detention and play an entire state of elected officials, turning many into fools, patsies, and mouthpieces to cover his terror-affiliated history.
The bottom line here is really scary. Mohsen has 17 years of university experience in total. Almost a decade of those 17 years were spent around US campuses – starting up anti-Israel groups and radicalising students. He does not appear to have a single degree to his name. If this man was either Chinese or Russian – and had spent a decade radicalising students on campus; if he also had a semi-fictional backstory, came from a family of terrorists, and had spent much of his life promoting extremist genocidal positions, there is not a politician in the US who would be seen anywhere near him. Red flags would be seen by all.
But he is not Chinese or Russian. Mohsen is a Palestinian – and for whatever reason that changes everything. Politicians, activists, NGOs and the media all become blind to an antisemitic genocidal fetish when it comes from the mouth of a Palestinian. It is almost as if their collective brains all just fall out. And this presents a real danger – not just for Jews – but for wider US society as well.
Making up a BS background.
Mohsen may have learnt very early on the lesson that most Palestinians in the West come to learn: that he can claim anything – say anything – pretend he had personally experienced anything – and not a single person on the left would have the brains to question any of it....'

Yehuda Hauptman.
Yehuda Hauptman was born in 1938 in Topoľčany, Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia). Following the collaboration between the Slovak fascist regime and Nazi Germany, the situation for Jews worsened, and the family moved to Budapest, Hungary, in 1941. In 1944, the Germans occupied Hungary, and Yehuda was forced to wear a yellow star. Yehuda’s mother managed to obtain Swedish citizenship documents for the family, and they found refuge in a protected house, but his father was sent to a labor camp. He escaped from the camp, hid in the forests, and returned home. Two weeks later, Nazi soldiers again took him to a labor camp. Yehuda’s grandparents were placed in the ghetto, where they helped his mother care for her four children. Due to the hunger, Yehuda would leave the ghetto to search for food scraps in garbage bins, which he brought back to his family. In early 1945, the Soviets liberated Budapest, and Yehuda’s father returned from the labor camp. After the liberation, Yehuda’s mother was diagnosed with tuberculosis and hospitalized. Under the communist regime, the authorities demanded that children study on Shabbat, including writing, which conflicted with their religious beliefs. At this point, Yehuda’s father decided the family had to leave. In 1949, he was offered the opportunity to move to Austria. Due to his wife’s illness, he decided to send Yehuda and his sister Rachel ahead, paying smugglers to take them to the border. He stayed behind with his wife, hoping to join them later. Yehuda and his sister reached Vienna, where they joined a youth group organized by Naftali Lau to immigrate to Israel. From Vienna, they moved to Italy and, in 1950, immigrated to Israel. They stayed with their uncle in Safed and later moved to a boarding school in Petah Tikva. Their mother passed away in Budapest. Yehuda’s father and two other sisters later immigrated to Israel. Yehuda joined Kibbutz Sha’alvim through the Youth Aliyah program, where he worked on a farm and studied. He enlisted in the Nahal Brigade and participated in Israel’s wars. Yehuda and his wife, Yehudit, eventually moved to Moshav Tekuma, where Yehuda fulfilled his pioneering dream as a farmer. He held public positions in several local communities, contributed to their development, and worked to improve their welfare. On October 7, Yehuda and Yehudit were at their home in Moshav Tekuma, located in the Gaza border region. They were evacuated from their home for four months, during which Yehuda deeply missed the land he loved so much. The distance reinforced his deep-rooted connection to the land, and he clung to hope for a return, to rebuild and overcome. Yehuda and Yehudit have six children, 23 grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.
Yehudah is religious and thanks G-d for both survival experiences. Holocaust and Oct 7th. ‘It was fate,’ says this Holocaust survivor who also survived October 7. 'The terrorists drove by on the road and just kept going'.

104-year-old Warsaw Ghetto survivor in Australia gives vivid testimony of uprising. Berysz Aurbach is one of the last surviving Jews who witnessed the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Smuggled out just before the uprising began on Passover of 1943, Aurbach can still describe in detail the acrid smell of the burning ghetto while sitting in Caulfield, a quiet suburb in Melbourne, Australia.
Despite his age, Aurbach’s memory is razor sharp. He was born in Biala Podlaska, Poland, to a middle-class family with close ties to the grand rabbi of the Gerrer Hasidic dynasty. His mother died when he was just 3 months old.
“I can talk for six months and I wouldn’t tell you everything I want to tell you,” Aurbach told The Times of Israel, reflecting on his survival.
He had three older brothers, a sister, and, later, a half-brother from his father’s second marriage. His early life was stable and his family were considered upper middle class. He still recalls, word-for-word, the prayers and Torah verses he learned in his local religious school in Poland.
When World War II broke out, Aurbach was just 19 years old. In the Warsaw Ghetto, he worked in a factory, while surrounded by death and despair. Around 90,000 Jews in the ghetto died from starvation and disease; over 300,000 were deported to extermination camps. Thousands more were killed during the April 1943 uprising, when the Nazis torched buildings and reduced the ghetto to rubble.
Just before the uprising, Aurbach’s older brother Mordechai, who was part of the underground resistance and a member of the Zionist HaNoar Hatzioni youth movement, arranged for him to escape. Mordechai secured false papers and a Polish police uniform, allowing Aurbach to walk out of the ghetto undetected.
“My elder brother Mordechai, together with other ghetto leaders, went to rich people in Warsaw to obtain money for arms. Rich people gave him and other leaders money after my brother convinced them to fund resistance in the ghetto,” he said.
After slipping out, Aurbach spent the rest of the war hiding in safe houses run by the Polish underground. He has never forgotten the horrors he left behind. His father and brothers were not as lucky.
My brother had arranged for himself a place… but he couldn’t arrange a place for the rest of the family.
Although Mordechai survived the initial ghetto uprising, he was later betrayed by Polish informants and executed by the Gestapo.
“I don’t know where he is buried,” Aurbach said. A photo of Mordechai still sits on the mantle of Aurbachs’ home.

Academic:
'I taught at Harvard from 1993 through 2014, and I don’t think the federal government’s threats will be effective at changing the university’s culture. Harvard’s leaders don’t yet understand the danger that culture poses to the country or why it required intervention.
On Sept. 11, 2001, the Islamists of al Qaeda attacked the U.S. in a suicide mission that used American planes as their instruments of destruction. On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas Islamists exploited Israel’s openness by invading the country, massacring civilians and kidnapping others. Jihadists use these new forms of warfare against those they can’t conquer by force. What concerns us here is their capture of elite American schools as outposts.
Harvard became directly implicated on Oct. 8, 2023, when the Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a statement endorsed by more than 30 student groups that asserted “the Israeli regime” was “entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.” Students for Justice in Palestine declared Oct. 12 a “day of resistance” and had a “toolkit” ready for the encampments and demonstrations that spread beyond campus. SJP praised the “unity intifada” and “resistance” and declared that Palestinian students were “PART of this movement, not in solidarity with this movement.” In 2001 there were no such support groups for Islamists at Harvard.
Harvard was a soft target for foreign penetration, having developed an adversarial relationship to the American government and increasingly to the country itself. Veterans of the antiwar movement banished the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps from Harvard in the 1970s and kept it off campus for 40 years. When memories of Vietnam faded, the military’s exclusion of open homosexuals became the high-minded excuse for shutting out recruiters—but not government funding. This selective antigovernment policy was reflected in the curriculum, which took an increasingly critical approach to America and Western civilization...'

New York Times faces reader backlash for ‘Arab woman with Israeli citizenship’ line. It is receiving major backlash from its readers after the newspaper described victims of a cable car crash in Italy as “two British tourists and an Arab woman with Israeli citizenship.”
“I’m failing to see the reason of mentioning the woman’s ethnicity. Why didn’t you mention the two British tourists’ ethnicity since you’re at it?” said one Times reader, Rached Ben Yahya.
“Interesting how NYT is trying to distinguish Arab Israeli citizenship and suggest that Israeli citizenship is ‘imposed’ on her while her true identity is Arab and she is living unwillingly under occupation. Israeli media simply refers to her as ‘Israeli victim.’ I guess NYT is relying on their readers’ ignorance about Israeli Muslim citizens who enjoy full rights in every aspect of society,” another Times reader, Stanley Brill, commented on a New York Times Facebook post.
“NYT always dividing people … She was Israeli,” wrote another Times reader, Iniguez Mariano.
“I wonder if from now on we’ll be seeing the NYT casually describe accident victims as ‘Indian man with British citizenship’ and ‘Jewish man with American citizenship,'” another reader, Boaz Arad, commented on the Times social media post.
“The correct sentence would have been ‘three tourists, two British and one Israeli’ … not only did they decide to single out the Arab woman as being different, they decided solely to highlight her ethnicity. The British tourists didn’t get a similar description,” wrote one journalist and Middle East analyst, Seth Frantzman.
“They want to signal to their readers that it’s OK to be sad she died,” another reporter, Lahav Harkov, wrote in a post on X.
A fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Jason Bedrick, noted, “When Arabs with Israeli citizenship were accused of rape, the NYT just called them ‘Israelis,'” referring to an alleged rape of a British woman in Cyprus in 2019.
The social media crowd had a low opinion of the New York Times’s motives. “They want to let performative Western ‘leftists’ know that it is OK to feel sad that she died because she wasn’t a JEWISH Israeli, in which case, empathy for her would have been ‘Zionist’ and Not Acceptable,” wrote one user, with an account named Benjamin Ze’ev.
“We need to spell it out. A majority of readers of the NYT would celebrate if the victims were Jewish Israelis,” another social media commenter wrote.
The Times reporter responsible for the clumsy language, Elisabetta Povoledo, was ridiculed in 2017 for a sentence that said, “Jews and Catholics have a long history of mutual suspicion and conflict.” “Moral equivalence is our new religion,” was the headline Tablet put over its article mocking that whopper.
Povoledo also was the Times reporter who in 2015 claimed that Pope Francis said to the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, “you are an angel of peace.” Later reports cast doubt on that account, with one saying that Francis was offering an exhortation — may you be an angel of peace” —and another saying that the actual comment was “you are a bit of an angel of peace.”
So a Times reporter with previous instances of clumsiness and apparent inaccuracy when it comes to Jewish and Arab-Israeli issues has now, for the third time in a decade, managed to damage what remains of the New York Times’s reputation.
It’s as if Povoledo were imposing her own opinion that the tourist’s Arab identity is somehow more fundamental than her Israeli citizenship, or she can’t wrap her mind around the reality that Israel has Arabs with full rights serving in parliament, as students in universities, and as doctors in hospitals.

New interactive map shows locations of Gaza's terror tunnels.
Former hostage Ron Krivoi: No one can truly understand what it’s like down in the tunnels.
“As a person, I’m a quiet man, I live my life. That’s why I didn’t give interviews, I just continued my life as it was before – that’s what I asked for, to return to my life,” he says.
Ron is a soundman that was working at Nova music festival when Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and "ordinary Gazans" invaded Israel, massacring 1200 innocent people, r*ping, abusing, cutting to pieces, burning people alive and taking 250 people, including toddlers and a baby, hostage to Gaza.
Krivoi was first held for some time in a Gaza apartment. At one point, the house was bombed by the Israeli military and Krivoi was able to escape his captors, trying to make his way through devastated Gaza for several days before being recaptured.
“Once someone saw me – it ended badly. The people who caught me beat me up. It wasn’t simple. I went through something there… When they caught me and brought me back, the people who beat me were ordinary Gazans who took out all their frustration on me,” he says.
Of the tunnel he was then taken to, Krivoi says, “These aren’t the tunnels you see in pictures. We were in something really small, deep underground. There wasn’t even a floor – we were on sand, and the mattresses were all moldy. We were inside a very, very small cage. Honestly, about a meter and a half by a meter and a half, and we had to lie down and rest in it – you couldn’t stand. No height, no toilets, no food. We were five people, we ate one small dish with some canned food and a pita that we divided among us. I was there for 51 days and lost nine kilograms of body weight.”
Krivoi Matan Angrest arrived a day after he did, and was “completely, completely terrified.” Angrest was in a tank that was attacked by terrorists on October 7. The rest of the crew were killed.
"Matan gets beaten, passes out, tries to wake up, Hamas interrogate him, passes out again. They connected him to a battery on the way. And tried to wake him up. Yes, they electrocuted him with car battery. His injuries are very bad. He goes through abuse that even if a person tries to imagine - he can't imagine, ever. The electrocute him to bring him back to consciousness to get information out of him. He had burns on his fingers, something I've never seen, I haven't seen such form of burn. Looks like from acid or something like that."
“The interrogations he went through happened while still in Israeli territory – that’s where it started. They already connected him to a car battery on the way and tried to revive him. Using car batteries, they electrocuted him,” Krivoi says. “They weren’t able to interrogate him. He probably wasn’t even in a condition to speak because he was badly injured. His injuries were very severe.

'Israeli basketball team team HaPoel Tel Aviv won the Eurocup title last week. But the club announced they won’t officially celebrate until the hostages are home.
On a post I came across about the decision, I noticed something interesting in the comments—fans of other Israeli teams, one after the other, saying as much as they hate the team, they applaud this decision.
There’s one thing Israelis can agree on: No celebration is complete while our loved ones are still held hostage in Gaza.'
Political hypocrisy under guise of broad Jewish coalition. A letter opposing the Trump administration's actions to counter antisemitism on campus doesn’t pass the smell test.
On behalf of progressives, the JCPA has sanctimoniously questioned Trump’s actions. During the Biden administration, it tolerated the anti-Zionists and pro-Hamas antisemites who camped out at universities across the country and protested with hate-laced speeches. The letter exposes a politically motivated hypocrisy, and the JCPA and others’ silence then negates their right to complain now. Their grousing is a day late and more than a few dollars short, and demonstrates how politics is, for some, their new religion.

ChicagoJewishAlliance:
'Three years in prison. That’s what you get for launching the world’s saddest hate crime spree—armed with nothing but a Sharpie and zero artistic talent.
Swastikas and “Free Palestine” scrawled across Rogers Park like a toddler’s rebellion? Was this even serious? If antisemitism had a D-list, this would be it.
But here’s the thing: even when the hate is sloppy, the harm is real. Defacing Jewish spaces isn’t edgy—it’s intimidation. It’s meant to make Jewish Chicagoans feel unsafe in their own neighborhood.
So yes, three years is justice. But let’s not pretend the bigger picture has changed. Antisemitism in Chicago isn’t just a one-woman graffiti spree—it’s a climate that tolerates this stuff far too often.'

Over 450 people belonging to terrorist organizations in Gaza, mainly Hamas, are also employed by UNRWA.
The onslaught of Oct. 7, 2023, in which thousands of terrorists murdered some 1,200 Israelis and abducted another 251, exposed new levels of complicity by multiple employees of UNRWA.
It led to the passing of laws banning Israeli officials from engaging with UNRWA and banning the agency’s activities in Israel.

“My name is Rachel and I will always be the mother of Hersh Goldberg-Polin…the beautiful six, Eden, Ori, Elmog, Alex, Carmel, and Hersh, had been held in an airless pitch-black tunnel 20 meters underground. It was only a meter sixty in height and just 60 centimeters wide,” said Hersh’s mother in her remarks.
“There was no electricity nor plumbing. All of them were emaciated. Hersh, who was 1.85 meters tall, weighed 53 kilograms. Delightful Eden was 1.60 meters tall. She weighed just 35 kilograms. They were all bullet-ridden and filthy, having not showered in months.”
“Hersh was shot in his only hand. His other hand had been blown off on October 7th during his abduction. He was shot in his shoulder, his neck, the side of his head below his ear, and in the back of his head,” the mother said.
“He was found frozen on his knees with his face resting on the face of Eden, Eden, a girl named after Paradise. And since then, we have lived on another galaxy.”

Dave Portnoy's 'punishment' for those who ordered an antisemitic sign at his bar. Barstool President Dave Portnoy was infuriated at a group of young customers who ordered a sign cursing the Jews. At first, he wanted to ruin their lives, but decided to turn the incident into a learning experience.
After firing, Portnoy later had a change of heart and decided to turn the incident into a learning experience for those involved.
"The more I thought about it, these are young morons who did this, they were drunk, do you really want to ruin sombody's life?" Portnoy stated in a second video.
"Let's try to turn a hideous incident into a learning experience," he added.
Portnoy noted that he spoke to the two main culprits and that "I'm sending these kids to Auschwitz, they agreed to go."
According to the Barstool President, he discussed the matter with Jewish businessman Robert Kraft, and that the culprits will tour the death camp in Poland.
He reiterated that the two waitresses were still fired, calling one of them "the dumbest human I've ever talked to," and explaining, "I don't know if she thought she was making a political statement, but it was her alone, she didn't go to a manager, she kinda forced another girl to do it."

Report: Hamas are 'deliberately and systematically' using human shields to cause civilian deaths that can be used for propaganda.
A damning report has found that Hamas are “deliberately and systematically” using Gazan civilians as human shields in order to use their deaths for propaganda purposes. The group, which the US and UK have designated as a terrorist organisation, launched a brutal assault on Israel on October 7, 2023, in which 1,200 Israelis were murdered and 251 were taken hostage.
Andrew Fox a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society who previously served as a Major in the Parachute Regiment, told the Daily Express: “This report is the missing chapter from every UN statement, every NGO report, and every media narrative that has ignored how Hamas weaponised Gaza’s civilians.”
Fox, who served three tours of Afghanistan, believes that the group “want their fellow Palestinians to die in vast numbers” and have “created ‘death trap’ conditions for millions of people” deliberately.
He added: “The truth is simple and devastating: every death Hamas could provoke became a propaganda asset.”
Co-author Salo Aizenberg, a leading researcher on media bias and casualty data, believes that the terror group are fighting a war on multiple fronts, including in the information sphere.
She said: “This war wasn’t just fought with rockets. It was fought with camera lenses and casualty counts.
“By ignoring how Hamas deliberately blurred the line between combatant and civilian, much of the world became an unknowing accomplice in their war strategy.”

Diaspora Jews murdered in antisemitic attacks commemorated. At the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem, the first four families receive certificates in which the State of Israel officially recognizes the loss of their loved ones.
Arecent event at the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) offices in Jerusalem marked the implementation of a government resolution adopted in 2023 to officially recognize Diaspora Jews murdered in antisemitic attacks as part of the Yom Hazikaron (Israel’s Memorial Day) ceremonies and commemorations.
Hosted by JAFI, the World Zionist Federation and the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, four families—the first of more than 270—received certificates, in which the State of Israel officially recognized the loss of their loved ones as being motivated by antisemitism.
The families included the widow and children of Eliot Fine, who was murdered in Cardiff on September 19, 1981; the widow and best friend of Dr. Joseph Wybran, gunned down in a Brussels hospital parking lot on Oct. 3, 1989; the brother and son of Dr. Sarah Halimi, brutally murdered in her Paris apartment by a deranged Arab neighbor on April 4, 2017; and the widow of Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, killed with two of his sons, Arie, 6, and Gabriel, 3, in a horrific attack in Toulouse in 2012.

Who Is the Real Mohsen Mahdawi?
Last year on Instagram, Mahdawi described a cousin, Maysara Masharqa, as a “fierce resistance fighter” and “dreamer of liberation” who was killed “after a clash with a traitor Zionist force.”
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a network of Palestinian armed groups, said that Masharqa was one of its “most prominent field commanders” in Jenin. The Israeli Defense Forces said Masharqa “took part in shooting attacks against Israeli communities” and was in a vehicle with Hamas’s leader in Jenin when they were killed by the Israeli military in August of 2024.
Israeli court records show that Masharqa also confessed in 2012 to throwing improvised explosive devices and Molotov cocktails at IDF soldiers “on a large number of occasions and from a short distance,” making pipe bombs, and conspiring to shoot and kill. He was sentenced to eight years in prison.
“Justice is inevitable,” Mahdawi wrote in an Instagram post in January of this year when his uncle’s name appeared on a list of Palestinian prisoners expected to be released in a deal that also returned to Israel four female soldiers who were taken hostage during the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas.
The uncle, Yousef Mahdawi, was sentenced to life in prison for planning a 2003 suicide bomber attack in the Israeli city of Netanya that injured more than 60 people. Israeli court documents show that Yousef Mahdawi recruited the bomber and has received about 1.1 million shekels ($311,000) from the Palestinian Authority since his arrest as part of its “pay for slay” program for Palestinian prisoners incarcerated in Israel.
Two of Mohsen Mahdawi’s other cousins died in a firefight with Israel in 2023. An Instagram post last October shows their faces and those of four more cousins and an uncle, all “born, raised, and killed in refugee camps” by “the Israeli Zi0nists [sic] violence in the West Bank,” he wrote.
Then there’s the question of what, exactly, Mahdawi has been doing since he arrived in the U.S. in 2014.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Mahdawi studied computer engineering at Birzeit University in Gaza from 2008 to 2014. He then worked at a bank in New Hampshire for about a year. Mahdawi was at Dartmouth College in 2016 and 2017, and “studied a handful of classes for one year,” his LinkedIn profile said.
But Dartmouth told The Free Press that its records “indicate that no one by that name is or has been enrolled as a Dartmouth student.”
Mahdawi then studied at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania for more than two years, but left in the spring of 2020 without finishing a degree, the college said. His LinkedIn profile said he started a “Middle Eastern student organization” and “a catalyst group to bring change and diversity into the student senate.”
In 2021, Mahdawi began at Columbia. By then he had logged more than 20 semesters as an undergraduate between his stints at Birzeit and Lehigh. After more than a decade in the U.S., he has said he hopes to graduate this month and start a master’s degree program in September in international and public affairs. Columbia declined to comment about Mahdawi.
After October 7, Mahdawi emerged as one of the leaders of the anti-Israel protests on Columbia’s campus. In November 2023, New York magazine described him as co-president of the Palestinian Students Union. A month later, 60 Minutes called Mahdawi a student on the “fight for a free Palestine and the fight against antisemitism.”

How Jew-hate is becoming the norm in the music industry. Itay Kashti will never know whether it was one of his comments on social media pushing back against the anti-Israel narrative in the music industry that led to him eventually being kidnapped. He just has a hunch that it was.
A record producer who has lived in the UK for nearly two decades, his case – where he was lured to a remote farmhouse in Wales before being physically beaten up and handcuffed to a radiator – was certainly motivated by antisemitism. The three attackers, who were each jailed for eight years in March, had a plan to keep him hostage and then extort money from his family, who they believed were rich.
“Even the police weren’t able to tell me where this thing started but it seems that someone who worked with me or knew of me had given them my name,” he says. “I believe it was probably a product of a heated debate. I had a lot of friends in the music industry who were posting about the war and against Israel and I was responding to them.
“In the group chat between the three kidnappers, the conversation very quickly turned from calling me ‘the music producer’ to ‘the Israeli’ and then just ‘the Jew’.”

Post: 'Antisemitism: The Assimilation Killer. We're Jews, and no one can ever defeat us. In each case, our mere existence threaten ideologies that are man centered, not G-d centered. Their ultimate goal is either tyrannical power or to embrace an animalistic lifestyle where every urge and action are justified by invoking the supremacy of the self. In many cases, they go hand in hand.
The Jews stand in the way of both. We always have.
In terms of antisemitism, the period before the Exodus was no different than today. What our ancestors experienced pre-Exodus, is very much the same as what we are experiencing right now.
The good news is that, again as Rabbi Shore points out, and this is not new, antisemitism can remind us of who we are:
“The Midrash teaches that the Jews were redeemed from Egypt because they maintained their distinctiveness—they didn’t change their clothes, names, or language, even in the face of slavery (Shemot Rabbah 1:28). On the surface, this seems like a small detail, but its meaning runs deep. Even in the depths of oppression, the Jews understood they were different—a family with a unique role, even if they weren’t fully ‘doing it all’ in terms of observance. This awareness of their special identity was the crucial step that paved the way for redemption.’”
I have seen this all around me since 10/7. On social media there are stories every single day of people whose Jewishness was awakened by 10/7 and, unfortunately, by Jew hatred all around them. I know people who have gone out of their way, every day, since 10/7 to publicly display their Jewishness, from Magen Davids to tzitzit – there is a national understanding that we are unique, and that understanding often ignites an inner pride that is manifested in Jews - Jewishly doing Jewish things. That pride extends to people doing more mitzvot, lighting Shabbat candles, putting on tefillin, giving more tzedakah, etc. I personally know people who have had this type of experience.'

Columbia’s Pulitzer Dmdisgrace
The increasingly irrelevant Pulitzer Prizes were awarded a slew of left-wing news reports, chronicled by our colleague Andrew Stiles here.
The prize for commentary went to the "Palestinian poet" Mosab Abu Toha for his work in the New Yorker—"deep reporting with the intimacy of memoir," as the Pulitzer board put it—depicting the evils of the Israeli military campaign in Gaza.
It took just more than 24 hours for Abu Toha’s public statements defending the atrocities of Oct. 7 and assailing the Israeli victims of those attacks to surface. ("How on earth is this girl called a hostage?" he wrote of Emily Damari, a 28-year-old IDF soldier abducted by Hamas. He objected to the media’s humanization of Israeli "hostage" Agam Berger: "These are the ones the world wants to share sympathy for...")
Columbia University’s role in the administration of the Pulitzers and selection of the prize winners is not lost on us. The president of the university, Claire Shipman, sits on the Pulitzer board, which selects the prize winners. So does the president of the Columbia School of Journalism, Jelani Cobb, and the editor in chief of the Columbia Journalism Review. The administrator of the prizes, Marjorie Miller, is also a Pulitzer board member and a Columbia employee. Deliberations over the prize winners take place on the Columbia campus.

Loveluck also referred to Hamas casualty figures that do not distinguish between civilians and terrorists, something critics say the Post regularly fails to acknowledge.
Medumia watchdog:
'All At Sea_ Reuters’ confused coverage of conscience, the latest Gaza ‘Aid’ ship.
There is no independent confirmation of the anti-Israel activists’ claim that their boat is carrying aid. To the contrary, as Times of Israel reports in its improved-upon version of the same Reuters story:
The Saudi Al Arabiya news channel, citing a Western security source, reported Friday that the aid ship had been arranged by Hamas and that those onboard planned to engage with IDF troops as they approached the Gaza shore.
Moreover, as Reuters’ own reporting in the very same story notes, Malta (with a record of pro-Palestinian stances) itself has not yet been able to determine that the cargo is aid:
Prime Minister Robert Abela said on Sunday that Malta was prepared to assist the ship with necessary repairs so that it could continue on its journey, once it was satisfied that the vessel held only humanitarian aid.
A Malta government spokesman said its offer was to assist in repairs out at sea once the boat’s cargo was verified to be aid.
Does Reuters have information that the Maltese authorities do not?
In addition to reporting as fact that Conscience is carrying aid (despite the fact that the Maltese authorities have yet to establish this information), the article also falsely reports that in 2010 the Mavi Marmara was likewise seeking to deliver aid. Regarding the Mavi Marmara passengers who violently attacked the Israeli naval commandos, shooting them and taking three captive, Christopher Scicluna whitewashed:
Another NGO ship on a similar mission to Gaza in 2010 was stopped and boarded by Israeli troops, and nine activists died.
Regarding this deadly incident, the facts have long been well known and documented. The Mavi Marmara was armed with weapons — deployed against IDF soldiers — not aid. Passengers had also wrested guns from Israeli soldiers, and organizer Greta Berlin later admitted — though only in a private Facebook group whose contents were leaked — that contrary to her public statements Israelis “would not have started to fire” had one of the passengers not disarmed a soldier. (The Southern Poverty Law Center later described that passenger as a “raving, David Duke-endorsing anti-Semite.”)
As documented in the UN’s 2011 Palmer report (p. 47), the ship carried 546 passengers but no humanitarian aid supplies for the people of the Gaza Strip.
If the flotilla had been a purely humanitarian mission it is hard to see why so many passengers were embarked and with what purpose. Furthermore, the quality and value of many of the humanitarian goods on board the vessels is questionable. There were large quantities of humanitarian and construction supplies on board the Gazze 1, Eleftheri Mesogeio and Defne-Y. There were some foodstuffs and medical goods on board the Mavi Marmara, although it seems that these were intended for the voyage itself. Any “humanitarian supplies” were limited to foodstuffs and toys carried in passengers’ personal baggage. The same situation appears to be the case for two other of the vessels: the Sfendoni, and the Challenger I. There was little need to organize a flotilla of six ships to deliver humanitarian assistance if only three were required to carry the available humanitarian supplies. The number of journalists embarked on the ships gives further power to the conclusion that the flotilla’s primary purpose was to generate publicity.
In October 2023, the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center reported that:
…several other initiatives for sending aid boats to the Gaza Strip have been reported since the beginning of the war. All of them are based in Turkey and Zaher Birawi is involved in all of them. Birawi is a Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood activist from Britain who is the chairman of the International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza, which is a founding member of the Freedom Fleet coalition and who was one of the leaders of the Mavi Marmara flotilla.
Reuters itself previously corrected in both in English and Arabic after wrongly reporting in 2023 that the Mavi Marmara was carrying aid. The New York Times has also corrected the identical error regarding the Mavi Marmara. Reuters has yet to follow up on CAMERA’s request to correct the latest mischaracterization of the Mavi Marmara‘s 2010 cargo, and to likewise clarify that Freedom Flotilla’s claim that Conscience is carrying aid is unconfirmed.'
When will the BBC start reporting accurately and impartially on UNRWA?
As we see, for well over a year the BBC – including its BBC Verify department – has refrained from conducting any meaningful independent investigation into the topic of the participation of UNRWA employees in the October 7th massacre or the wider issue of UNRWA connections to proscribed terrorist organisations, opting instead to blandly amplify that UN agency’s denials and claims.
An Israeli government report dated April 23rd 2025 provides declassified intelligence concerning The Connection between UNRWA and Hamas in Gaza.
“At least 1,462 UNRWA employees in Gaza are members of Hamas, PIJ, or similar organizations—comprising nearly 12% of the agency’s workforce in Gaza were verified up to this point, Of these:
– 1,157 are employed in the education system.
– 80 school principals and deputy principals are members of terrorist groups, including 16 from Hamas’ military wing.
– Additional operatives were found in engineering, health, logistics, and administration.
These figures are based on cross-referencing UNRWA’s official staff lists with Hamas’ own personnel records—including internal recruitment databases, military training rosters, and administrative files—matched through national ID numbers.”

Hamas-run authorities say at least 48 killed in series of IDF strikes in Gaza
Several Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday killed dozens of Palestinians, according to authorities in the Hamas-run enclave, including reported strikes on a school that housed displaced families in Gaza City.
According to the Hamas health[sic] ministry, two IDF airstrikes early Wednesday hit the Karama School in Tuffah, a suburb of Gaza City, killing 15. Among those killed was a local journalist, Nour Abdu, Palestinian media claimed.
Later in the day, an Israeli strike near a restaurant and market in the city killed at least 33 people, including women and children, the reports said.
The death tolls provided by Hamas, which do not differentiate between civilians and combatants, cannot be verified.
The IDF did not immediately comment, but generally says it targets Hamas terror infrastructure in the Strip, which is heavily embedded in the civilian population.
Reuters footage of the scene near the market showed wounded men being rushed away on the back of pickups and carts. Ambulances sped down shattered streets and a woman in tears carried a baby away from the scene, with two young children beside her.
Ahmed Al-Saoudi said he witnessed the airstrike near the market. “People come to the market to get what they need if they can find it…Neither the people nor the animals were safe. Neither the young nor the old.”

Article: 'Can Syria’s New Government Protect the Country’s Minorities?
The Syrian government now faces a major test. It has support from Western countries and countries that opposed the Assad regime. It has a lot of goodwill because people have sympathy for Syrians who suffered fourteen years of brutal civil war. However, with each clash and each attack on minorities, the goodwill and capital the new government in Damascus has built up is slipping away. This could cause a crisis between Damascus and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, who have sought to integrate their forces with the government in the coming year. The United States backs the SDF. And while they have been flexible in dealing with the new government, they don’t want to see minorities persecuted in eastern Syria.

The Iran nuclear deal Trump wants.
A fourth round of talks between Tehran’s envoys and Steve Witkoff, U.S. President Donald Trump’s lead negotiator, did not take place in Rome over the weekend as had been expected.
Neither Tehran’s spokesmen nor the U.S. State Department gave a clear explanation for why, but I’ll venture a guess: Iran’s rulers want concessions in exchange for continuing to talk.
The 2015 JCPOA is an especially egregious example. As Sen. Tom Cotton observed: “The deal didn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb; it paved the path.” 'Trump on Hugh Hewitt's podcast about the nuclear talks with Iran: Prefers a strong agreement with a high level of certainty.'
The Iran’s curse deepens!
'Facing a worsening energy shortage, the Iranian government has announced daily power cuts and shortened work hours in all government buildings to 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., five days a week.'
The trial that kept us safe from Holocaust denial – at least for one generation.
Antisemitism is both static and dynamic: that is its nature, and a function of its success. Lipstadt, who served as Joe Biden’s envoy on antisemitism, says that those who practise Irving’s brand of Holocaust denial (she calls it “hardcore denial”) are outliers still, though “they will have their followers”. And those sometimes get onto Piers Morgan’s show and Joe Rogan’s podcast. Rogan, once a comedian, has the No1 podcast in the world. He has hosted guests who claim Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israel, and that Hitler opposed Kristallnacht. But I doubt Rogan would allow a guest to say the Holocaust didn’t happen; in any case, he doesn’t need to.
Modern Holocaust denial, Lipstadt said, is “squishier. ‘Oh, here’s the Holocaust again’, or rolling the eyes. That diminution, and that’s much harder, that’s whack-a-mole.”
What she calls “softcore Holocaust denial” is broad. Sometimes it is subtle; sometimes it is not. There is mainstream belief in Jewish evil (the idea that it happened but the Jews deserved it); attempts to minimise the Jewishness of the victims with an over-representation of perpetrators in popular culture (didn’t everyone suffer?); romantic novels set in death camps (how bad could it be?); and sometimes an emphasis on so-called Jewish collaborators (who did it really?).
DOJ officials tell Orthodox leaders they have launched probes into antisemitic discrimination.Senior Justice Department officials revealed on Wednesday that they have “several open investigations involving Orthodox Jewish communities across the country.”
During a meeting between Trump administration officials and Orthodox Jewish leaders at the Justice Department, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Michael Gates told attendees that the DOJ is looking into several matters impacting the Orthodox community, including how some municipalities’ use of zoning laws had affected individual religious communities’ ability to operate normally.
“We currently have several open investigations involving Orthodox Jewish communities across the country. These investigations include municipalities that have restricted building or operation of houses of worship or other religious land uses, and we are investigating cities that have made changes to zoning laws that negatively impact religious communities. In another matter, we are investigating antisemitic discrimination in public accommodations, including whether a restaurant, believe it or not, has engaged in a pattern practice of religious discrimination for refusing service to Jewish patrons,” Gates said.

More than a year and a half after the Hamas-led atrocities of October 7, 59% of Palestinians polled in the "West Bank" still think that Hamas' made the "correct decision" to torture, rape, burn alive, murder, and kidnap hundreds of hostages—even including children—according to the most respected Palestinian polling agency.
The new poll by Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research asks: "In your view, was Hamas' decision to launch its offensive against Israel on 7 October a correct or incorrect one?" The polling shows a continuation of the pattern of decreasing support since December 2023, when the first poll was taken after the October 7 atrocities. It found that 82% of "West Bank" Palestinians thought October 7 was a "correct decision." In March and June 2024, just over 70% of Palestinians there supported it. In September 2024, support dropped to 64%. And now, 59% still say it was a "correct decision."

Forner hostage Tal Shoham writes in Time:
Some mornings I wake up and forget, for a split second, that I’m free.
Then I remember the silence. The darkness. The wet concrete. And the two young men who were lying beside me, deep underground, who are still there.
Their names are Evyatar David and Guy Dalal.
We were held together along with Omer Wenkert for eight and a half months in a Hamas tunnel—just 40 ft. long, less than 3 ft. wide. We slept on soaked mattresses, shared a single pita a day, and took turns whispering stories from home to keep ourselves sane.
We were strangers when we entered that darkness. But we became brothers.
It’s been more than 100 days since President Trump returned to the White House and the ceasefire deal that brought me, Omer, and dozens of others back was achieved. I haven’t been back above ground for that long—but even now, every breath of fresh air, every step in the sun, every quiet moment with my family feels like something sacred. Time feels different now. I carry it more carefully. Because I know how quickly time can run out—and how brutal each passing day is for those still living in captivity.
I spent 505 days as a hostage—held deep beneath the ground. We were watched constantly by a surveillance camera. A bomb was planted above us, rigged to detonate if Israeli forces came too close. We were told we would be blown up if anyone tried to save us. We were threatened, degraded, and at times tortured—not treated as people, but as objects to be controlled and broken.
I am not a soldier. I was kidnapped on Oct. 7 from my in-laws’ home in Kibbutz Be’eri. My wife and children were with me. When terrorists couldn’t break open the door of our safe room, they came in through the window. They dragged me out, threw me into a trunk, and then paraded me through the streets of Gaza.
Before we were separated, I looked into my nine-year-old son's terrified eyes and made a choice no parent should ever face. I told him the truth—that I didn’t know if we were going to die. I couldn’t lie to him in what might have been our final moments together.
For 50 agonizing days after that, I did not know if my family had survived. It was a rare flicker of hope when I learned in November they were about to be released.
Evyatar and Guy, both 22 years old, had been taken from the Nova music festival. Their friends were slaughtered around them. By the time we met in captivity, they were in terrible shape—starved, handcuffed, terrified. For weeks, they’d been fed almost nothing. Their hands were bound behind their backs, their ankles tied, their heads covered with plastic bags. But somehow, they still had spirit. During those last eight and a half months we spent together in the tunnel, they held on.
The men who held us didn’t see us as human. They tortured us for fun. Sometimes they would light pieces of paper on fire to suck up the small amount of oxygen from the tunnel. We would choke and have to lie on the floor to avoid suffocating.
We came up with daily rituals just to remember who we were. In a place built to break us, we held each other up. We became a unit. We became family.
When I walked out of that tunnel in February, I made a vow: I would speak for those who can’t.

Bill Maher lashes out at woke, anti-American Dem base, says they ‘are with the terrorists’. “You couldn’t survive a week living in Intifadaville.”
Like pests drawn to a bug zapper, the mask and keffiyeh-clad Hamas sympathizers that comprised the Democratic Party’s base continued to force their way into the spotlight despite the backlash it had meant in the last election. As those sentiments represented a sliver of the left’s anti-American attitude, Maher’s latest episode of HBO’s “Real Time” excoriated the party for its continued favor for the “weak and woke.”
“Seriously, this is a serious problem for Democrats. Less than one in four Democrats under 30 say they’re proud to be an American. Fifty-four percent say they’re embarrassed by it,” explained the host during his “New Rule” segment. “Embarrassed, like America is your mom picking you up at school? You’re embarrassed to be an American? Well, guess what? The feeling’s mutual because you have no perspective.”
In aiming to provide that perspective, Maher contrasted the rights of women and minorities in the United States with the atrocities committed under Islamist authority and said, “Yes, in America, gays buy buildings. In other places, they get thrown off them.”
“They actually think Hamas is a liberation movement,” the comedian said as occupation efforts had resumed at college campuses like those in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel. “They chant for the Houthis. They’re chanting, ‘We will honor our martyrs,’ at Yale … Someone needs to tell the kids America is not the society where women basically have no rights, where there’s zero freedom of religion and where dissent is punishable by death.”
Pointing out how the rotgut had seeped into culture, Maher raised the Irish hip hop group Kneecap’s decision to rail against Israel during their Coachella performance as well as the failure of New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) to lambast attendees of the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour that snubbed America for sympathizing Hamas.
“At an AOC/Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag and the crowd erupted in approval. What should have happened after that is one of the adults on stage should have told their young, loyal followers, this is not a symbol of freedom. This is,” he said, referring to Old Glory.
“The Democrats’ problem is the energy of the party is with the young, and the young are with the terrorists. That’s not good,” explained the host. “So talk to your children and remind them you don’t really want to live like your heroes in Hamas. All the sh*t you do all day, it was all made in America.”
“Your smartphone, your Grubhub, your freedom to bitch about America — that’s all American stuff. You tell your phone you want a milkshake and a guy brings it to your house, please. You couldn’t survive a week living in Intifadaville,” concluded Maher in part.

ICC prosecutor [Islamic] Karim Khan cited 'Palestine' to hush sex scandal—report. Told accuser to think of "the justice of the victims” in Gaza and asked her to drop her allegations. Sought Israel warrants after Khan accused of sexual assault several times.
Karim Khan was accused of serious sexual crimes by an assistant less than 3 weeks before his surprise announcement of the cancelation of a fact-finding trip to Israel and the seeking of warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant, raising concerns the warrants are meant to protect him.
Khan responded to the international pressure to criminalize Israel's response to the October 7 massacre by taking out his frustrations on his staff. When one of Khan's assistants asked him to ease up in his treatment of her, he summoned her to his suite at the Millennium Hilton hotel near the UN's New York headquarters.
The staffer, a Malaysian woman in her 30s, testified that Khan sexually assaulted her and prevented her from leaving, and act she said was part of a pattern of similar actions.
The victim said that she did not come forward at first because she was afraid of losing her job and of not being able to pay the medical bills for her mother, who was suffering from cancer. In addition, she feared retaliation from Khan.
Two and a half weeks after he learned of the accusations against him, Khan canceled a fact-finding mission to Israel and announced that he was seeking arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in May 2024. In an unusual move, the ICC prosecutor announced the warrants during an interview with Christianne Amanpour of CNN rather than in an official setting, despite receiving advice from fellow prosecutors not to make the announcement in such a manner.

Sources familiar with the matter said that Israel does not have to free any terrorists for Edan Alexander, but will have to cease fire and end drone surveillance long enough for the hostage to be freed.

A violent antisemitic incident rocked the heart of Budapest roughly ten days ago, when a group of drunk German tourists assaulted eight haredi Israeli men, including two residents and six tourists, shortly after Shabbat evening prayers.
The victims, all clearly identifiable by their religious appearance, were on their way to a friend’s apartment when they were confronted by approximately 15 young Germans. According to testimonies, the Germans began hurling racist slurs such as "Heil [sic] Hitler," "dirty [sic] Jews," and "kill the Jews."

Arab sniper terrorist targets, kills pregnant woman driving to delivery room in Samaria. "The murder of Tzeela Gez, on her way to give birth at the hospital, is a spine-chilling, horrific act of terror that shakes us to the core," Israeli President Isaac Herzog stated. Gez’s baby was delivered in hospital, Ynet reported. The infant is listed in serious but stable condition. The Rabin Medical Center’s Beilinson Hospital said its neontal unit at the Schneider Children’s Medical Center “fought all night for his life.” The mother was pronounced dead on Thursday morning. “I am deeply shocked by the horrific attack in Samaria, targeting a heavily pregnant woman and her husband as they were on their way to the delivery room,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated. “This vile act precisely reflects the difference between us—those who cherish and bring life—and the despicable terrorists whose very purpose is to kill us and cut lives short,” the prime minister said.

Danon: UN's Fletcher accusation of genocide ‘without evidence’.
“To weaponize the word ‘genocide’ against Israel is not just distortion—it is the desecration and subversion of a term with unique force and weight,” the Israeli diplomat said. Those who use the term seek to “demonize” their targets, Danon remarked.
Anti-Israel propagandist Amanpour, (of the first "genocide" propaganda promoters already weeks after Oct 7), on May 15, 2025, so excited to play the propaganda rhetoric clip of that UN guy, tried to push Wendy Sherman to use the G word.

On that Sherman's rhetoric, activist replied: 'You’re right @wendyrsherman, you haven’t done everything possible. 'You could’ve held Hamas accountable. And you could have pressured Qatar, and Egypt and Turkey, as well as obviously Iran, to reign in Hamas and release the hostages.'

The 'red line' that lead to Israel's decision to resume aid to Gaza.
Explainer: Government reinstates limited humanitarian aid to Gaza under international pressure, bypassing coalition opposition and delaying a new US-led system aimed at starving Hamas of resources while balancing hostage risks.
Israel's right-wing government approved the resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza on Sunday night, nearly two months after halting it at the end of the hostage deal. As reported by Ynet over six weeks ago, Israel had been preparing to reinstate aid delivery “within weeks” under a new mechanism involving an American foundation meant to prevent Hamas from seizing the supplies.
However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision does not yet implement the new system, which is still being finalized. In the meantime, Ynet has obtained and published the first images of armed and vest-clad personnel from the American company that’s expected to distribute the aid in Gaza through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an initiative backed by U.S. special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
This decision comes as fighting intensifies and while 58 hostages are still believed to be held by terrorist groups in Gaza.
Old method for now, limited in scope
Despite Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s assertion that “not a single grain” will reach Hamas, all aid entering Gaza in the coming days will follow the existing method: through border crossing at Kerem Shalom, distributed by the UN and aid organizations. This route has previously allowed Hamas to seize, sell and redistribute supplies to its members, though the UN claims there’s no conclusive proof.

Exposed: The lie about Gaza starvation. NBC Under Fire for Promoting Discredited “14,000 Babies Will Die” Claim Despite UN Retraction. The article discusses how NBC News continues to circulate a widely debunked claim regarding mass infant deaths in Gaza, despite the United Nations walking back the statement and clarifying the data. It explores the dangerous implications of spreading misinformation, particularly when it aligns with anti-Israel propaganda. NBC News is facing intense backlash after continuing to circulate a discredited and inflammatory claim that “14,000 babies will die in the next 48 hours” if humanitarian aid is not delivered to Gaza. The quote, originally made by UNRWA representative Sam Rose Fletcher during a BBC interview, quickly went viral, sparking outrage and prompting mainstream outlets like NBC to amplify the statement without proper verification or context. Critics accuse NBC and similar outlets of irresponsibly parroting Hamas propaganda aimed at portraying Israel as deliberately starving Palestinian children, a claim not supported by the facts. Public responses to NBC’s post have been scathing:
- “Will we get an expose on why the UN humanitarian chief lied so egregiously?” – Ari Paul.
- “The @UN, @NBCNews, and international media made up and instigated a blood libel against the Jewish people.” – Ron M.
- “NBC wants so much to see starving children… so their dumb readers will think this is a child being starved to death by evil Jews.” – Chava P.
- “Why is @nbcnews acting as Hamas’ mouthpiece parroting false claims without evidence?” – Michal Sabra.

Overnight Israel: "Free Palestine!”- The Deadly DC Shooting Outside a Jewish Museum. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were killed in an antisemitic terror attack outside a Jewish museum in DC.
On May 21, 2025, a chilling act of antisemitic terror struck at the heart of Washington, DC. Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim, two devoted staffers at the Israeli Embassy, were shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum after participating in an American Jewish Committee event promoting humanitarian aid for Gaza.
The attacker, Elias Rodriguez, 30, from Chicago, confessed to the murders while waving a red kaffiyeh and shouting "Free Palestine." His statements revealed a deep alignment with violent anti-Israel extremism. He was swiftly arrested, but the damage was done. The tragedy sent shockwaves through the Jewish community in the United States and around the world.
Victims Who Stood for Peace. Yaron, a German-born Israeli who made aliyah as a teenager, served in the embassy’s political department and championed Jewish-Arab coexistence. Sarah, a Jewish American involved in public diplomacy, previously worked at Tech2Peace, an initiative for Jewish and Arab dialogue in Tel Aviv. The couple were planning to get engaged in Jerusalem the following week. Their shared commitment to peace and unity made their murder especially devastating.
The Ideology Behind the Attack. Rodriguez’s ties to the far-left Party for Socialism and Liberation, combined with his public endorsement of an “Intifada revolution,” expose how radical rhetoric can translate into violence. This was not a senseless crime but a targeted antisemitic act. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar both labeled it an act of terrorism driven by dangerous lies and incitement. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed this sentiment, calling for full justice.
Denial and Deflection from the Far Left In the aftermath, pro-Palestinian activists online attempted to deflect blame, pushing unfounded conspiracy theories and downplaying the motive. Even Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, typically a critic of Israeli policy, acknowledged the attack as antisemitic. Yet many activists refused to reckon with the extremist ideologies that inspire such violence. Their silence and denial speak volumes.
A Broader Pattern of Threats. Just a day later, on May 22, Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen launched a missile toward Jerusalem. Though it was intercepted by Israel’s Arrow 3 defense system, debris landed dangerously close to Palestinian homes in Halhul, illustrating the recklessness of such attacks. This second attempted terror incident in two days underscored the growing threat to Israel and Jews globally.
Jenin Standoff Highlights Security Tensions. Also on May 22, Israeli forces fired warning shots near a convoy of international diplomats in Jenin after they entered a restricted military zone without authorization. While no one was harmed, the incident sparked diplomatic outrage. Yet critics ignored the context: Jenin is a hub for terror activity. The IDF’s response was measured and meant to protect both soldiers and foreign envoys.
France’s Dangerous Double Standard. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron offered only vague condolences for the DC victims while advocating for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state. Israeli leaders viewed this as rewarding terror rather than confronting it. Macron’s stance, in light of the week’s violence, struck many as dangerously naive.
Faith and Resilience in the Face of Trial. Adding to the week's tension, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake in Crete was felt across Israel. While it caused no major damage, it served as a reminder of both Israel’s physical vulnerability and spiritual strength. From ancient times, Jewish tradition has held that even natural disasters are part of a larger divine story.
Conclusion: Israel Stands Strong. The events of this week make clear that antisemitism and anti-Zionism are not mere ideologies. They are threats with deadly consequences. Yet in the face of terror, political hypocrisy, and natural upheaval, Israel endures. The legacy of Yaron and Sarah, who lived with courage and compassion, calls on all who cherish Jewish life to speak out, stand firm, and trust in the resilience of the Jewish people.

Article: Domestic terror is the inevitable next step for Hamas sympathizers. L The murders at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., are a warning that “pro-Palestine” activism is leading to antisemitic violence. For the past 19 months, angry mobs have taken over college campuses and the streets of major American cities. These demonstrations, tent encampments and building takeovers have not just been expressions of opposition to Israel’s efforts to eradicate the Hamas terrorists who led the Palestinian Arab assault on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. They have also often been indicative of the protesters’ support for Hamas and the embrace of terrorist goals, as well as their antisemitism—something that was made obvious by the way they have targeted Jews during the course of their “activism.”'

Typical Terrorist Response.
Hamas Rejects Netanyahu’s Peace Plan: “We Will Not Disarm or Leave Gaza”.
Hamas rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s conditions for ending the Gaza war, refusing to disarm or exile its leaders. The group’s stance underscores its commitment to continued violence against Israel, prioritizing conflict over peace and the welfare of Gaza’s civilians.
'This is why nobody trusts the media. It has now been 48hrs since the @UNReliefChief Tom Fletcher claimed on the BBC that "14,000 babies in Gaza could die in the next 48 hours".
So did 14,000 babies die? Or anything near that? Of course they didn't. The entire suggestion was always completely preposterous and lacking any credibility whatsoever.
But that didn't stop the BBC publishing it, did it? The entirely dishonest blood libel was then amplified by the UN, Time, The Guardian, the ABC, The Independent UK, Associated Press, NBC, SBS... The list goes on. The claim was then used by world leaders to condemn Israel based on wildly improbable claims, hysteria and lies.
No fact checking was required. The claim was clearly total BS. But even 48 hours later it still appears on many news sites, who once again are prepared to believe anything bad about Israel. 48 hours is more than enough time to correct the record and stand down everyone responsible.
So why the hell does @TFletcher still have a job? Why does the producer of the BBC Radio program still have a job? Why do media outlets get to spread lies which lead directly to violence towards Jews, with zero accountability?
If they'd simply said something sexist, racist or about other groups there would be marches in the street demanding their cancelling. But spread lies about the Jewish state? Crickets!
Will they ever learn? These are the same outlets that fell for the "Jenin Massacre" (which never occurred) and which nearly 2 years ago said that fuel and water would run out in Gaza and spread Hamas lie after lie after lie.
Either they are breathtakingly incompetent at their job, or they are wilfully dishonest and antisemitic. It can only be one or the other. And their leadership are just as responsible.'

On Wednesday afternoon, Yaron Lischinsky was trying, as always, to fight lies.
On social media he could be found pushing back against just one of the many big lies spread every day about the Jewish state.
Specifically he was commenting on the UN Report which garnered headlines around the world.
This was a completely lying, untrue report from one Tom Fletcher (UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs) that 14,000 Gazan babies were likely to die in the next 48 hours unless aid reached them.
Mr. Fletcher’s claim ignored every reality on the ground.
That reality includes the fact that when aid trucks — including UN aid trucks — enter Gaza they tend to be hijacked by Hamas, who then use the aid for their terrorists or sell it at a hiked-up rate to the Gazan citizens it is meant for.
“Reputable” news organizations like the BBC spread the lie around the world.

…The haughty cynicism of the West’s Israel-haters in response to this humanitarian drive has been extraordinary. The foundation started its work yesterday. Truckloads of food were dispatched on day one. Many more are due this week. It is reported that Israel’s aim is to set up four secure distribution sites in central and southern Gaza. Israeli forces, assisted by private military contractors from the US, will oversee the safe provision of food to the neediest Gazans who have fled the fierce fighting in the north of the strip. Israel’s hope is that armed guards will deter Hamas from looting the aid and hawking it on the black market to boost the coffers of its fascistic war against the Jewish nation, as has happened many times in the past 18 months.
Given how dire things are in Gaza, after a year-and-a-half of this infernal war Hamas started, this should be cause for celebration. Gaza’s innocents are as much the victims of Hamas’s fascistic writ as Israelis are. Their dignity, and in many cases their lives, have been sacrificed by Gaza’s autocratic religious regime at the altar of its racist crusade against the Jews’ homeland. These people did not ask for their land to be made into a theatre for Hamas’s demented apocalyptic showdown with the Jews. They need relief, they need food. And yet, far from breathing a sigh of relief that many of them will now receive precisely that, the West’s legion Israelophobes are raging over Israel’s life-saving aid.
Why does this aid initiative feel ‘so problematic’, asks one headline? I can answer that: it’s because the Jewish State is spearheading it. Everywhere you look there is conceited suspicion over the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. It will ‘militarise aid delivery’, says the UN – big talk from an outfit whose facilities in Gaza have been used by a neo-fascist militia to propagate Jew hatred and house kidnapped Jews. Aid agencies are refusing to work with the foundation on the grounds that ‘militarising’ aid delivery is an insult to ‘humanitarian principles’. The naivety is staggering. Gaza is an active warzone. The idea that Israel could just sit back as the strip was swamped by boxes of who knows what is infantile in the extreme. It’s war – everything is militarised in war...'

Amb. Hotovely counters British slander: 'What future do you promise my children?'
In a fiery exchange, Israel's Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely challenges Piers Morgan on Hamas, war ethics, and global hypocrisy: 'Would you accept Hamas on your doorstep?'
UK broadcaster Piers Morgan attacked Israeli Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely, asking if she is "prepared to kill" children in the war against Hamas, since in his opinion, Israel's strategy "is failing."
"How many Japanese children were killed under American attacks, and how many German children were killed under UK attacks in the Second World War?" she shot back.
"If you want to play a fair game you need to understand how Western armies operated in the past. Israel is not anywhere near the American attacks in Tokyo that killed 100,000 civilians, and not anywhere near to what the UK was doing in the Second World War."
Noting that she hears "all the people criticizing Israel today, including yourself," she demanded: "I'm asking you this question: If Israel finishes the war today and Hamas stays on our doorstep, what kind of future do you promise my children - a future that the seventh of October will happen again and again, just like Hamas leaders promised? This is what you expect the Israelis and Israeli leadership to accept?!"
Morgan admitted, "I did not think of that," adding that Hamas should not be allowed to even run a store after the war.
"So how do you achieve that?" Hotovely challenged. "Who's volunteering there to demilitarize the Gaza Strip?"
"Israel doesn't like fighting," she stressed. "These are our sons, brothers, and husbands who are fighting this war. No one has an interest to lose his business and to fight for 600 days unless it's a really existential threat. And Gaza has become an existential threat because of what happened, because they're being backed up by Iran, and we are not going to let it repeat even if we lose your sympathy. And we need to win this war and Israel will do everything to make sure Hamas won't control the Gaza Strip and I don't get to hear from anyone, including the leaders of Europe, a better plan of how to dismantle Hamas besides fighting."

Article: ' "The West’s lies about Israel are falling apart." So it seems Mohammed Sinwar is dead. The de facto chief of Hamas in Gaza has been ‘eliminated’, says Israel. Yesterday, in a speech marking 600 days of war between the Jewish State and that army of anti-Semites, Benjamin Netanyahu said Sinwar was indeed killed in Israel’s airstrike on the European Hospital in Khan Younis on 13 May. If this is correct, then it is a blistering defeat not only for Hamas but also for the West’s furiously Israelophobic elites. For one of their chief libels against Israel – that it bombs hospitals for sport – may have just taken one hell of a beating. Mohammed Sinwar was the younger brother of Yahya, who was leader of Hamas in Gaza from 2017 until his assassination by the Israel Defence Forces in October last year. Yahya masterminded the pogrom of 7 October 2023. Mohammed succeeded him following his assassination. Hamas really has been decapitated. The Sinwars are dead. Mohammed Deif, head of the al-Qassam Brigades, was slain in an airstrike in July last year. In that same month, Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’s political boss, was taken out in a targeted strike on a guesthouse he was staying at in Tehran. This has hands down been the most successful anti-fascist operation of the 21st century so far. The reported killing of Mohammed Sinwar could prove to be an especially important event. It would have consequences – brilliantly dire ones – both for Hamas and for the West’s army of Israel-haters. It seems he was meeting with his fellow neo-fascists in a bunker under the courtyard of the European Hospital. That’s a hospital that was set up with a grant from the European Union and run by the UN through its local Palestine agency, UNRWA. Let that sink in: a mass murderer of Jews, the leader of a movement that carried out the worst act of anti-Semitic slaughter since the Nazis, found refuge under a facility funded by the globalist outfits that are forever wagging a finger at ‘genocidal[soc]’ Israel…. This is what has been laid bare by the reported death of Sinwar in a tunnel under a hospital: the ruthless duplicity of Hamas and the staggering gullibility of the Western commentariat. This event threatens to drag the anti-Israel activist class off that moral highground they think they occupy. For 18 months they’ve been libelling Israel as a nation in the grip of such genocidal lunacy that it desires the destruction of every life-giving facility in Gaza. They overlook, or outright deny, the reams of evidence showing that Hamas hides in hospitals, stores weapons in hospitals, uses hospitals as bases in which to torture its opponents. Now we know it even has its highest level meetings under hospitals…'
Activist: The Gaza "starving children" meme, which only ACCELERATED since millions of meals have been distributed, is an orchestrated blood libel against Jews..
The New York Times published a photo essay and article about supposedly starving Gazans, describing children there as "emaciated."
According to the Gaza health ministry, the number of people who have starved to death in Gazasince October 2023 is 60. And we've already seen that every one of those sixty who have been described by name in the media had other health problems that were their main reasons for death.
Let's compare the number of people who have starved to death in Gaza with other areas.
More children die in Ethiopia and Angola every day from starvation than have died in Gaza over 20 months.
Yet out of the New York Times tweets mentioning Ethiopia over the past two years, not one mentions starvation. One does point to an article that has one sentence about famine among reporting on its fighting, but there are more tweets about Ethiopian marathon runners than children starving.
I don't see a single article about Angola's starving children in the past five years of tweets - even though Biden administration officials, and Joe Biden himself, visited Angola in 2024.
There are four New York Times tweets that mention "famine" and "Sudan" over the past year. Compare that to 15 tweets that mention "Gaza" and "famine."
There are two New York Times tweets over the past year with both "Sudan" and "starvation." For Gaza, there are ten.
Far more people die in the US from starvation - 20,500 in 2022 - than in Gaza. Most of them are elderly, not children, but how many articles are about them? In fact, the only 2022 article I could find on hunger in America in the New York Times trumpeted how things were getting better, and did not mention a single death.
There is no famine in Gaza. There is hunger and food insecurity to be sure, and Israel is taking this very seriously - building aid distribution centers and their associated infrastructure takes time and effort, of which there is no parallel in the countries listed above and the many others that have thousands who die every year from starvation.
The new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation initiative has already distributed 4.7 million meals - yet virtually every story in the media does not mention that but repeats false Hamas claims of people being killed at those distribution sites and quote "experts" on how the GHF is not doing enough.
The "starvation" and "famine" articles and posts are nothing less than a blood libel. And the uniformly negative reactions to the successful GHF rollout in mainstream media - uncritically publishing Hamas lies and downplaying the incredible success of GHF - shows that this is a orchestrated campaign to slander Israeli Jews.'
Damning IAEA report spells out past secret nuclear activities in Iran.
Iran carried out secret nuclear activities with material not declared to the U.N. nuclear watchdog at three locations that have long been under investigation, the watchdog said in a wide-ranging, confidential report to member states seen by Reuters.

Editorial (on serial liar UN's Fletcher): 'Tom Fletcher’s continued falsehoods on Israel prove he needs to resign.
Tom Fletcher must resign. The UN’s under-secretary for humanitarian aid, tasked with supposed impartiality and accuracy in global crises, has proven himself yet again unworthy of the post he holds. His recent inflammatory accusations against Israel, specifically that it is subjecting Gaza to “forced starvation,” a war crime, are not only unsubstantiated but dangerously irresponsible.
In a BBC interview published on Friday, Fletcher claimed that Israel is deliberately starving the population of Gaza, implying intentional war crimes[sic]. “It is classified as a war crime,” he said, adding that courts and history will ultimately judge. These are no small words. They carry weight. They can inflame conflict. They can distort international discourse. And they must be based on facts, not ideological fervor or personal agendas.
Egyptian born Arab Muslim immigrant from Kuwait, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, planned for a full year to attack the peaceful group calling for release of hostages held by Hamas. He posed as a gardner and awaited the group marching, then unleashed fiery devices to burn the people mostly elderly while shouting "Palestine is free," He used two molotov cocktails, in addition he had several more devices with gas ready. He didn't plan on surviving, leaving a journal, his phone at home. Soliman later told authorities that “he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead,” and that he would do it again.
he had tried to buy a gun but could not because he was not a legal citizen. He overstayed his visa as of March 2025

In particular, Huckabee noted that the media outlets had reported claims that Palestinians seeking food boxes from the Gaza Humanitarian Fund were killed by the GHF, a claim that was proven false by the Israeli military.

Canadian police investigate Gaza war crimes[sic], eyes on dual nationals.
Canadian-Israeli individuals, including IDF veterans and residents, may face scrutiny under low-profile federal probe tied to Gaza war. Unlike its highly publicized investigation into alleged war crimes in Ukraine, the RCMP has not launched a hotline, published media materials, or taken other public steps to collect evidence from witnesses regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The investigation comes amid heightened tensions between Canada and Israel, with Canadian officials criticizing recent Israeli military actions in Gaza and settlement activity in Judea and Samaria. A joint statement from Canada, the UK, and France in May condemned Israel’s military expansion and warned of possible sanctions, while also urging Hamas to release remaining hostages.
(Related: The international group [HRF] going after IDF soldiers outside Israel for supposed "crimes," was cofounded by the Holocaust denier racist Arab Islamist Dyab Abou Jahjah, Lebanese-born (1971) living in Belgium who emigrated from Lebanon in 1991 to begin university studies in Belgium. -In July 2006, Abou Jahjah returned to Lebanon allegedly to join the battle of the 2006 Lebanon War on the side of Hezbollah against Israel. In 2000, he co-founded the Arab European League (AEL) with Karim Hassoun, (- pictured at a mock funeral for Hamas leader, Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, held outside the Kazerne Dossin memorial and museum in Belgium, which marks the sight of a Nazi transit camp used for transporting Jews and Romani people to Auschwitz-Birkenau). The group expressed support for the actions of Islamist Jihadists in Iraq, it issued public approvals for the September 11, 2001 attacks and the organization's rallies have been reported by The Christian Science Monitor to end in chanting "jihad" and "Osama bin Laden". Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt blamed the group for agitating racist Arabism sentiments among Arabs and inciting violence during street riots in Antwerp in 2002. -In April 2002 the Antwerp-based Arab European League (AEL) leader Dyab Abou Jahjah (1971) performed for the first time at a pro-Palestine demonstration in Antwerp that got completely out of hand, "Where flags of Israel were set on fire and demonstrators shouted anti-Semitic chant", "Jews are dogs[sic]." -In June 2002, the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism lodged a complaint against the Arab European League for infringing the anti-racist law. A demonstration took place the same month co-organized with the Flemish Green party and NGO during which a puppet representing an orthodox Jew was burned publicly. -In 2005, Arab European League's president Dyab Abou Jahjah supported and rationalized Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's statements—after The Islamic Republic's head made his controversial speeches including the infamous (widely denounced) genocidal call for Israel to be wiped off -In February 2006, AEL posted anti-Semitic cartoons on its website. On December 20, 2010 his AEL was liquidated. Jahjah celebrated Oct 7, 2023 Palestinian massacres).

And, therefore, I'm charging the Israeli government with responsibility for this, but there is not any policy, there has never been any policy by anyone in Israel.
Even this government, which I entirely oppose, but I never accuse them, will never accuse them without any basis of trying to accomplish genocide. This is not what we are facing.

Editorial: 'Why does Tucker Carlson want to appease Tehran? The “woke right” rages against a tougher policy on Iran as well as support for Israel. It’s clear that their motives for wanting to repeat Obama’s folly, which didn’t put America first, are morally questionable.
There has always been something that didn’t add up about Tucker Carlson’s stands on the Middle East. The former Fox News host, who now has a show primarily seen on the X social-media platform, has always been that rare conservative talker who was, to put it mildly, unenthusiastic about the alliance with Israel. Even more strangely, he appeared soft on an Islamist regime in Iran that hated the United States and had the blood of many Americans on its hands.
But while Carlson’s impact on public opinion has declined since he was booted out of his prominent perch at Fox and relegated to an Internet show, his influence within the inner circles of the Trump administration seems not only undiminished but perhaps increased. None of the controversies surrounding him, including his platforming of Israel-haters, antisemites and Holocaust deniers, has made him radioactive enough to be exiled from the presidential court at the White House or Mar-a-Lago. To the contrary, his show has regularly hosted administration figures in recent months.'

Earlier in the week, he had posted on social media that he had been punched in the stomach by an unknown assailant in the town of Deauville in Normandy, writing, “I received a blow and was insulted in a language I didn’t understand.”
Prior to the two incidents, the rabbi — who has thousands of followers on social media — said he had never been physically assaulted.
“Unfortunately, given my beard and my kippah, I suspected that was probably why, and it’s such a shame,” Lemmel told Reuters.

Unimaginable cruelty: Angrest family releases new footage of Matan’s abduction. The family of kidnapped Israeli soldier Matan Angrest released a new segment Monday evening from footage documenting his abduction to the Gaza Strip during the October 7 massacre. In the video, Angrest is seen being dragged out of a tank by dozens of Gazans who brutally beat him as they lead him toward the border. The clip presents a chilling image of the moment of his kidnapping and highlights the barbarity of the mob during Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel. Matan's mother, Anat Angrest, shared a heart-wrenching statement earlier in the day: “For 611 days I avoided watching the full video that shows the beginning of the lynching of my beloved son, Matan — one soldier against dozens of terrorists. Last night, I forced myself to watch it for the first time. We have no other choice. Matan’s life is in danger. Tonight, we are compelled to release another portion of the footage to the public. I wish we could avoid it.” She went on to describe the family's recent efforts to investigate Matan’s medical condition: “In recent weeks, we launched a mission to collect information and evidence regarding Matan’s health. After meeting with survivors of captivity who encountered him, we discovered a staggering gap between what we had been told and Matan’s actual critical condition. We were devastated to learn that while the Prime Minister didn’t even know Matan was wounded, he is suffering from open burns, infections, inflammation, and fever — alongside clear testimony of torture and electric shocks.”

Activist: 'The world has fallen into the moral abyss over Gaza.
This article is not about the conflict – it is about the international community.
The war – whatever you think of it – is ongoing. Israel rightly or wrongly seeks to eliminate the Hamas threat from Gaza and successfully return every single hostage (whether alive or dead). That is a given. And it is true, everyone does have a right to oppose the Israeli action and call on them to stop.
But that is only part of the equation. This war has been going on now for over 19 months. The world’s human rights NGOs argue that many of the people trapped inside are ‘refugees’. Legacy media have been running (real or imagined) massacre stories non-stop for 18 months. Yet not one of them has run a campaign to get the refugees to safety.
This is nothing to do with the Gazans. The international Palestinian solidarity movement, the hard-left, and the Islamist extremists, all want Gazans to stay in place. Not one of them, actually thought about the people of Gaza, what they wanted, or what was safest for them. Instead they wanted the civilians to remain caught between Hamas and the IDF. Just as Hamas use these people as human shields and want a high casualty count – that same accusation can equally be placed on the shoulders of the entire industry of ‘human rights’.
Israel did not want this. Israel did not seek this conflict. Hamas did. And Israel would much rather be fighting Hamas with no civilians around. So ask yourself why on earth the self titled bastions of moral virtue in the international community have done everything they can to make sure that the civilians have stayed in an area of urban conflict – and then they all express absolute outrage and pointed a finger of blame at Israel when anything happens to them?..'

Media watchdog: 'CBS' Denial Distortion, Al Jazeera Creep and Militarized Aid Myopia. Last week we wrote about the particular strain of journalistic malady called “denial denial.” Today’s post is a study of a close cousin of denial denial: “denial distortion.”
Thus, CBS dutifully reported that the Israeli military issued a denial regarding Hamas-fueled reports that it had gunned down dozens of civilians at an aid distribution site in the southern Gaza Strip on June 1. But the problem is that the network fudged what it was exactly that the army denied.
Thus, CBS’ Imtiaz Tyab fabricated in the introduction of the June 1 “Sunday Weekend News” broadcast: “The Israeli military denies anyone was killed in the incident, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.” Further down in the broadcast, he offered up a slightly changed variation of the same theme: “Israel had denied any shooting took place today.”
In fact, the IDF never denied that anyone was killed in the incident. Nor did it deny that any shooting took place. Rather, the army denied that its troops fired on civilians in or near the aid distribution site. The IDF’s denial stated:
False reports have been spread In [sic] recent hours, including serious allegations against the IDF regarding fire toward Gazan residents in the area of the humanitarian aid distribution site in Gaza.
Findings from an initial inquiry indicate that the IDF did not fire at civilians while they were near or within the humanitarian aid distribution site and that reports to this effect are false.[Emphasis in original.]
The IDF is cooperating with the GHF and international aid organizations in order to enable the distribution of aid to Gazan residents—and not to Hamas.
The IDF calls on the media to be cautious with information published by the Hamas terrorist organization, as proven in many previous incidents.
The Israeli military also released drone footage which it said showed Hamas combatants firing on civilians at a different aid distribution site, raising the possibility that Hamas was responsible for the deadly shooting.
Aside from his imprecise strawman reporting of the IDF’s denial, Tyab’s factual liberties also include the number of reported casualties. Regarding the June 1 incident at the food distribution site in Rafah, the CBS journalist intoned: “At least 49 people were killed and over 200 wounded, most suffering from gunshot injuries, according to Gaza health officials.”
In fact, the “Gaza health officials,” also known as Hamas employees, did not cite 49 dead in that disputed incident. On June 1, at 1:53 PM (Israel time) Hamas’ Ministry of Health reported that hospitals across the coastal territories, meaning from various incidents in different locations, received 37 fatalities within the previous 24 hours. The Hamas-employed health officials reported 136 wounded within the same time period, which covered both the Rafah aid distribution site incident along with other deadly events.
So how did CBS’ Tyab reach these inflated casualty figures, which exceeded Hamas’ own notoriously questionable figures for both the dead and wounded? Tyab, who joined CBS after a stint at the Qatari-controlled Al Jazeera, apparently relied on the erroneous reporting of his previous employer without carrying out any independent checking of his own. In this June 1 report, Al Jazeera wrongly reported that the Gaza Ministry of Health reported 49 dead and more than 200 wounded in an Israeli airstrike [sic] on a Rafah aid distribution site.
While Tyab failed to make clear that the Gaza Health Ministry is run by Hamas, or that Hamas is a designated terror organization, his treatment of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation did not get the same pass. He referred to it as “a controversial U.S. and Israeli backed aid distribution center,” and added: “The United Nations and other aid agencies have refused to work with the group, saying it has, quote ‘militarized aid,’ which goes against all humanitarian principles.” Moreover, two days later, on July 3, he dedicated an entire broadcast to “Investigating Aid in Gaza.”

Article by "Palestinian" Khaled Abu Toameh: 'Palestinians weigh in: The real reason Hamas wants to 'sacrifice' them. Like most senior Hamas leaders, [Khalil] al-Hayya and his family members live outside the Gaza Strip, having fled the Gaza Strip before the October 7 attack on Israel. These Hamas leaders are leading safe, often resplendent lives in Qatar, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey and other comfortable countries.'
Hamas, [these Palestinians] say, has decided to sacrifice tens of thousands of Palestinians to please its patrons in Qatar and Iran.
"Khalil al-Hayya's statement of sacrificing Gaza isn't a slip of the tongue – it's the mask coming off. When he says Gaza 'offered itself as a sacrifice,' what he means is that the people of Gaza were handed over...to foreign capitals and thrones... Gaza wasn't 'offered'- it was 'traded.' Traded for relevance in Tehran, applause in Doha, and invitations to summits where men in suits congratulate themselves for their loyalty [to Iran and Qatar] while entire neighborhoods [in the Gaza Strip] are flattened. What al-Hayya revealed – with disturbing pride – is that Hamas has never seen Gaza as a society to build or protect, but as a tool to elevate themselves in the eyes of unelected monarchs and ideological overlords.... to secure long-term contracts of power and protection from the patrons they truly serve..... [f]or the Qatari ruling elite who fund the fire from a safe distance, then host the [Hamas] arsonists as statesmen. Hamas offers Gaza as a sacrifice ... because they know that a Gaza in ruins keeps them relevant, funded, and feared." '

‘One Day in October’. Ahead of Hebrew Book Week, JNS interviews the authors of a seminal book on Oct. 7, 2023. This year’s report includes a special section on books published in the wake of the Hamas assault on Oct. 7, 2023, and the ensuing war in Gaza. “As was expected, the past year saw a huge increase in the number of books published about these topics,” the report said. “Of the 6,928 books published in Israel in 2024, 548 dealt with Oct. 7 and its aftermath.” The cover of the bestselling book published by Koren Publishers Jerusalem. Credit: Courtesy of Koren Publishers. Perhaps the best-known of the books in this genre is One Day in October: Forty Heroes, Forty Stories, the bestselling book in Israel over the past year and an international bestseller as well. Originally published in Hebrew, it was beautifully translated into English by Sara Daniel and will soon be coming out in French as well. “It has become the ‘national book’ on Oct. 7 and has offered readers a sense of hope and healing amidst the tragedy,” Rabbi Reuven Ziegler, the editorial director of Koren Publishers Jerusalem, said All the stories take place within the 24 hours of Oct. 7. Koren described the book, published in October 2024, as “an ambitious and unique literary project, offering readers an intimate look at forty true heroes, told in their own voices.” Alongside stories of soldiers who eliminated terrorists, you find “different kinds of heroism,” it said: an elderly man who sacrificed his life to save his family; a mental health patient who survived five days in Shuja’iyya in northern Gaza; a midwife who turned her home into a field hospital; a ZAKA volunteer who insisted on preserving the dignity of the fallen; and a United Hatzalah volunteer who made sure a love letter found in a fallen soldier’s pocket reached its destination.

With a Note and a Whisper, Netanyahu Set the Stage. ‘Rise Like a Lion’: Netanyahu’s Prophetic Message Before Iran Attack Leaves Israelis Stunned.
In a moment filled with symbolism and quiet intensity, Prime Minister Netanyahu made a powerful gesture at the Western Wall just hours before a major military operation was launched. The article explores the significance of this visit and its connection to unfolding events in the region.
Just hours before Israel launched its most significant airstrike campaign on Iranian soil in recent history, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a quiet yet symbolic pilgrimage to Judaism’s holiest site the Western Wall. There, standing in solemn prayer alongside Argentine President Javier Milei, Netanyahu placed a handwritten note in the ancient stones. The message, now seen as a prophetic prelude to what followed, read: “The people will rise like a lioness and lift themselves up like a lion.”
The quote, drawn from the biblical Book of Numbers, held deep symbolic weight. While seemingly cryptic at the time, it now appears to have foreshadowed the name and spirit of the military campaign that would unfold just hours later: Operation “Am K’Lavi” “With a Lion’s Heart.” The strikes began during the night, targeting Iranian strategic sites, most notably the Natanz nuclear facility, in a coordinated and extensive air assault.
Netanyahu’s appearance at the Western Wall, or Kotel, came during Milei’s visit to Jerusalem. The Argentine president departed the country mere hours before the first wave of airstrikes began. The timing of the visit and Netanyahu’s prayerful gesture are now seen by many observers as more than just ceremonial. It was a moment of spiritual resolve and national messaging one that tied Israel’s historic roots to its present-day defense.
Netanyahu’s note to G-d echoed across the headlines the next day as the Israeli Air Force carried out its boldest operations in Iran to date. For supporters, the act underscored the fusion of faith, history, and strength that often guides Israeli leadership during moments of high tension.
The launch of Operation “Am K’Lavi” was not merely a tactical move it was a statement. And in hindsight, Netanyahu’s visit to the Kotel wasn’t just a prayer. It was a message of defiance, unity, and national purpose quietly spoken before the roar of fighter jets filled the skies.
The phrase originates from the Book of Numbers, chapter 23, verse 24.
Iran breached its nuclear obligations — just hours later, Israel launched 'Operation Rising Lion'.
On Thursday night a damning report found Iran had failed to comply with its nuclear obligations — the first time in almost 20 years
Netanyahu's historic words: This is the real meaning. In a dramatic address to the nation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the launch of Operation Rising Lion declaring that "never again is now," Netanyahu framed the operation as a historic moment of national defense, vowing that Israel would act decisively to prevent the Islamic Republic from acquiring nuclear arms.
Operation Rising Lion explained: Where Israel struck and who was targeted.
Israeli jets entered via Syria after disabling Iranian and Iraqi air defenses, striking enrichment sites and missile bases; Iran's top brass eliminated.
It's been lingering in the air for quite a while now, and at 2:59 a.m., it happened; this widely expected scenario has materialized. Unusual alerts from the Home Front Command about a “significant threat preparedness” woke up all of Israel, and within minutes, it became clear: Israel was striking Iran in an unprecedented operation, codenamed Operation Rising Lion.
According to Israeli sources, dozens of senior Iranian officials were killed. Iran officially confirmed that among the dead are:
-Revolutionary Guards Commander Hossein Salami.
-Armed Forces Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri.
-His deputy Gholam Ali Rashid.
-Senior nuclear scientists Fereydoun Abbasi and Abdolhamid Minoujhar
-Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, a nuclear physicist and president of Islamic Azad University.

President Trump had warned the Islamic Republic’s commanders to take a deal to avoid this fate. “I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, by far, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come — And they know how to use it,” the president wrote on Truth Social.

Delia Ramirez of Illinois, Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and several others joined in introducing the Block the Bombs Act. The measure would “withhold the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel and demand Israel’s compliance with U.S. and international law.” In short, it’s a bill to get Israel to quit defending itself, highlighting what’s happening in Gaza as justification. “For the last year and a half, [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu has laid siege to Gaza, killing at least ...,” Mr. Pocan says in his news release. Citing the dubious casualty figures from the Gaza Health Ministry is “like quoting a fox in a henhouse,” according to the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis’ Sean Durns. It’s also a distraction from what’s happening. Israel didn’t just start indiscriminately bombing 18 months ago. The campaign to rid Gaza of its terrorist infrastructure began in direct response to the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of more than 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of 251 others. In its efforts to defend itself and its people, Israel has lost nearly 900 soldiers so far. Hamas planned that brutal sneak attack from Gaza, where it still has hundreds of miles of secret underground tunnels that conceal transportation, weapons manufacturing and command centers. This terrorist organization also sets up shop in hospitals and schools, knowing Israeli raids would risk collateral damage. Hamas wants that damage, as it creates a cause of action for kaffiyeh-wearing 20-something protesters. It even inspired erstwhile climate change crusader Greta Thunberg’s recent attempt to sail a “selfie yacht” of supplies to Gaza. Israel uses the weaponry it purchases from the United States to protect itself from the hostile surrounding nations that would rather see the Jewish state wiped off the map. These decisive moves are the only thing keeping freedom and democracy alive in an otherwise largely authoritarian and violent region. Israel can’t afford to move second in this game, which is why Mr. Netanyahu decided Iran’s nuclear sites had to go. This opening salvo relieves the United States from the responsibility of dealing with the prospect of Iran distributing atomic weapons to its terrorist allies throughout the world.'

IDF strikes Iranian nuclear facility in Isafahan.
NYT: Israeli Strikes Targeted Some of Iran’s Most Important Nuclear Facilities. Iran’s nuclear centers are spread across the country. Here are the main ones.
'Natanz. Roughly 140 miles south of Tehran, Natanz is considered Iran’s main center for uranium enrichment, and it was a prime target of the Israeli strikes. The damage to it appeared to be severe. It is only partially underground and was recently reinforced. It contains a range of sophisticated centrifuges, including the most advanced models, for enriching uranium to high levels. The International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, says there are nearly 14,000 centrifuges at work there, with thousands more in place but inactive. Uranium enriched at low levels can be used as fuel for civilian uses, such as producing energy. Highly enriched uranium can be used to make nuclear weapons. Natanz has been targeted in the past, with a computer virus, Stuxnet, some 15 years ago, and with sabotage and explosions as recently as 2021. Iran has always in the past repaired the damage and increased the sophistication of its centrifuges. Rafael Grossi, the head of the I.A.E.A., confirmed on Friday that Natanz had been hit but said that no radiation leak had been detected so far. He condemned attacks on nuclear facilities in general, as he has done in Ukraine, as very dangerous. “Any military action that jeopardizes the safety and security of nuclear facilities risks grave consequences for the people of Iran, the region and beyond,” Mr. Grossi told the agency’s board of governors in Vienna.
Fordo. Iran’s best-protected nuclear site, Fordo, near the city of Qum, is deep inside a mountain, estimated to be about half a mile below ground to protect it from bombing. Israel did not appear to have attacked it.
To do so would require repeated use of huge “bunker buster” bombs, and most experts think that cannot be done by Israel alone, without American help. Fordo was operated secretly by Iran until it was exposed in 2009. It contains Iran’s most advanced centrifuges and is considered crucial for Iran to enrich uranium to 60 percent, close to bomb grade. It is said to contain close to 3,000 sophisticated centrifuges, more than half of them the most modern type, with the capacity to install at least 1,000 more.
Parchin. Parchin is a military complex southeast of the capital, Tehran, where Iran has tested high explosives, which can be used as triggers for nuclear warheads. It is widely suspected that the site was used in the past by Iran in efforts to weaponize enriched uranium. Iran has denied ever doing nuclear work there but has refused to allow the I.A.E.A. access it has demanded.
Bushehr. Bushehr is Iran’s only operating nuclear power plant. Located on the coast of the Persian Gulf, it uses Russian fuel that Russia then takes back when it is spent.'
Ukraine’s ‘Spider Web’ vs Israel’s ‘Rising Lion’: Israel proves once again that it is the ‘Master of Deception’.
How Israel Misled Iran.
Israel employed a series of deception ploys to mislead Iran into believing that Tel Aviv was focused on the hostage crisis and was not considering a strike on its nuclear facilities.
Several fabricated stories about differences between Trump and Netanyahu were deliberately leaked to the media to give the impression that the US and Israel were not on the same page on the issue of striking Iranian nuclear sites.
Together, all these strategies created a smokescreen, giving Iran a false sense of complacency, which proved fatal for Tehran.
Mossad played a key role in this operation, from planning to executing the strike.
Israel and Mossad had prepared for years for this operation. Striking Iranian nuclear sites had long been on the agenda of Israel, even before the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas...
Drones were launched and struck a ballistic missile site near Tehran, preventing Iran from launching an immediate response against Israel. At the same time, air defenses were destroyed, allowing the Israeli Air Force to carry out strikes against targets in Western Iran.
Additionally, vehicles carrying weapons systems were smuggled into Iran.
Mossad commandos operating inside Iran used these drones, precision missiles, and vehicle-mounted weapons systems to target Iranian AD systems and missile launchers.
The operations relied on “groundbreaking thinking, bold planning and surgical operation of advanced technologies, special forces and agents operating in the heart of Iran while totally evading the eyes of local intelligence,” the official told the Times of Israel.
Simultaneously, Israel launched air raids on Iran with 200 fighter jets, employing 330 munitions and targeting nearly 100 sites, including high-value targets such as the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, Arak, Isfahan, Tehran, Kermanshah, and Tabriz nuclear facility.

Articke: 'The Return of Peace Through Strength. “Two months ago,” Donald Trump posted Friday morning, “I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to ‘make a deal.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61.” That deadline was firmer than the mullahs realized. Thursday night, Israeli operatives in Iran released swarms of drones and other precision munitions while Israeli aircraft rained down strikes from above. Within hours, they killed the commander of Iran’s military, his deputy, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the head of the terrorist Quds Force, and several top nuclear scientists. The Israelis lured nearly all of the Revolutionary Guard's aerial leadership into a bunker and then destroyed it. As one reporter put it, “the senior chain of command has collapsed.”'

The billboard campaign in the heart of Times Square is turning heads and making a powerful statement: the phrase “Free Palestine,” far from a call for peace, is being exposed as a cover for deep-seated antisemitism and genocidal rhetoric. Launched the Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), the 30-day ad campaign features vivid, 10-second digital clips running six times per hour. Its aim is to raise national awareness about what CJV says is a growing threat to Jews and to the American social fabric. “We call upon all Americans to join us in speaking clearly about who and what the bloodthirsty ‘Free Palestine’ movement stands for, and the need to stamp it out,” said Rabbi Yaakov Menken, CJV’s executive vice president. “The cry of ‘Free Palestine’ is the call of domestic terrorists.” CJV leaders describe the slogan as a modern manifestation of antisemitic ideology, warning that it echoes history’s darkest moments. “Israel is the only free country in the Middle East. The one thing Israel is not free of is Jews, and that is what ‘Free Palestine’ aims to correct—in the model of Hitler’s Final Solution,” Menken explained.

"Ali returns to Khaybar": Khamenei's tweet raises concerns in the Jewish community in Iran. Khamenei's new tweet hinting at the extermination of Jews as Ali did in Khaibar marks a dangerous escalation and raises concerns that the Jewish community in Iran is in clear danger.
The Jewish community in Iran received a chilling reminder of its insecurity when, on June 16, 2025, at the same time as ballistic missiles were launched at Israel, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei posted a post on Twitter that included a poem threatening to recreate the massacre of Jews in Khaybar. The tweet, posted during the missile launch, included a poem in Persian that, translated into Hebrew, reads: "Ali will return to Khaybar with his Zulfiqar."
It can be understood from the new post that this is an unprecedented "step up." In fact, the Supreme Leader of Iran, whose name is also Ali, is hinting at his own intentions. Just as Imam Ali killed, according to the stories, all the male Jews in Khaybar with his sword – so Khamenei now intends, using missiles, to "do what Ali did in Khaybar" – that is, to kill all the Jews.
It should also be noted that this is the first time, at least implicitly, that Khamenei has expressed hatred not only for "Zionists" - but for 'Jews' in general. This can be understood from the fact that the residents of ancient Khyber were Jews and not Zionists. This also raises "grave concerns" for the lives of Jews living in Iran, who could become targets for hostile actions by the regime, especially if it feels that it has reached a state of "all-out war."

'The Hypocrisy of the "Pro-Palestine" movement and Islamic Republic Iranian propaganda. The idea that Iran’s hostility toward Israel is driven by a “land dispute” is a gross oversimplification. Iran has no border with Israel, so the conflict has nothing to do with territorial claims. Instead, Iran’s animosity toward Israel is rooted in a deep ideological and religious hatred, one that spills over into its relationships with Palestinians. The issue isn’t about land—it’s about religious and ethnic bigotry. Iran’s obsession with destroying Israel and its treatment of Palestinians is more about an anti-Western, anti-Semitic agenda than any genuine desire to improve the lives of Arab Palestinians. Iran’s own behavior toward its Arab minority further exposes the hypocrisy of its so-called “pro-Palestinian” stance. Despite constantly claiming to support Palestinians, Iran has a long history of persecuting its own ethnic Arab population, making it clear that its concern for Palestinian Arabs is, at best, a thinly veiled political tool, not genuine solidarity. The "pro-Palestine" movement, particularly in the West, has largely been led by radical groups tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, with figures like Professor Hatem Bazian at the forefront. Bazian and his followers have mobilized Arab immigrants and students, convincing them that supporting Arab-Palestinians means hating Israel and Jews. While the movement claims to be about advocating for Arab-Palestinian rights, its actions and symbolism often reveal something darker: a deep-seated hatred for Jews and Israel. The "swastika-Palestine" imagery, for instance, is not a call for peace or justice but an expression of violent, anti-Semitic rhetoric. What’s even more absurd is how this movement has repeatedly conflated its supposed “pro-Palestinian” stance with outright hostility toward Israel, including supporting actions against Israel’s nuclear facilities and scientists. How does attacking Israel’s infrastructure help Palestinian Arabs in Gaza or the West Bank? The connection is nonexistent. These operations aren’t about helping Arab-Palestinians; they’re about advancing an anti-Israel, anti-Semitic agenda. In the end, the so-called "pro-Palestine" movement isn’t truly concerned with Arab-Palestinian welfare. It’s more about promoting an anti-Israel, anti-Semitic ideology under the guise of humanitarianism. This movement has become a tool for political manipulation, with little regard for the actual needs or rights of Arab-Palestinians themselves.'

Operation "Rising Lion": The great successes and the heavy prices | Summary.
After a deadly surprise attack, Israel attacked Iran for 12 days and seriously damaged the Iranian axis of evil • Among other things, our forces killed senior commanders and scientists of the Revolutionary Guards, destroyed military bases and nuclear sites, and seriously damaged the ballistic missile array • But alongside the successes, the price was heavy - 29 civilians were murdered by launches from Tehran • Summary of the operation.
Operation "Am Kalavi" : 13 days ago, Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran for the first time in its history. In the opening strike, which began at approximately 3:00 AM on Friday, about a week and a half ago, Israel succeeded in eliminating a number of senior commanders and nuclear scientists of the Revolutionary Guards, destroying important bases of the Ayatollah regime, and most importantly, surprising Iran.
Israel's clear goal when it launched the attack was to eliminate the nuclear threat and remove the ballistic missile threat from Iran. According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, our forces destroyed the main enrichment facility in Natanz, the uranium conversion facility in Isfahan, and the heavy water facility in Arak.
Iran was quick to respond, and within hours of the Israeli surprise attack, it began launching heavy barrages of ballistic missiles at the country. Although most of the missiles were intercepted, several direct hits across Israel caused heavy casualties, most notably 29 deaths, hundreds of injuries, and extensive property damage.
Despite the heavy losses and damage, Israel's success exceeded all expectations. For 12 days, our pilots bombed throughout Iran, with some of the attacks becoming particularly memorable due to the footage they were filmed. For example, the attack on the Iranian Broadcasting Authority, which became particularly memorable because of the live video of the attack.
Amidst this entire historic war, one of the most important moments occurred on the 10th day of the operation, when in the late hours of the night between Saturday night and Sunday, President Donald Trump announced on his personal account on the TRUTH social network that the United States military had attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran – Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
When the dust settled, it became clear that the massive attack had indeed ended successfully. Especially remember the post that Trump published, which read: "Fordow - gone ." [Though some assessments suggest onky a weakening]. After the attack, Israel made it clear that it was a partner in the decision-making process and that there was complete coordination between Israel and the US on the issue, both before and in real time.
As mentioned, the massive and historic operation that Israel embarked on ended last night. About 24 hours ago, Trump announced that a ceasefire had been reached between Israel and Iran : "Assuming all goes well – and it will – I want to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, for the courage, endurance and intelligence they demonstrated in ending what should be called: the '12-Day War,'" the president wrote on his social media account.
The fire continued for several more hours, during which Israel continued to attack military targets and Iran continued its trend of targeting civilian population centers with the aim of [possibilities of also] hitting the home front. In the last missile barrage fired, a direct hit was recorded on a 7-story building in the city of Beersheba, killing 4 civilians.

Still, the report uses what it calls a verified number of child casualties in Gaza that is some 92% lower than the figure other U.N. agencies disseminate, including one that a U.N. agency published the day after the secretary-general’s report.
The U.S. envoy cited the deaths of Israeli children Ariel and Kfir Bibas, whom Hamas kidnapped during the terror group’s attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Terrorists took the family to Gaza. Israel freed Yarden Bibas in February, but Shiri, his wife, and the children—who were kidnapped at 4 years old and 9 months old—were murdered. Israel recovered their bodies.
“Hamas murdered the Bibas children and then paraded their coffins through the streets,” Shea said. “This terrorist organization continues to use civilians, including children, as human shields and refuses to accept a ceasefire that would bring calm to Gaza.”
Shea said Hamas recently murdered eight Palestinian humanitarian workers.
“We strongly condemn Hamas’s actions and regret that the report does not highlight the full scale of their abuses,” she said.
Other council members used their pulpits to attack Israel and Virginia Gamba, Guterres’s special representative for children and armed conflict, who compiled the data for the report.
“The report’s most glaring gap previously had been the omission of certain situations,” in the Palestinian territories “most notably,” said Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Pakistan’s U.N. ambassador. “It took the killing of thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza for the situation to be included in the report last year.”

Haaretz Claim that IDF was eupppsedly ordered to fire on unarmed Gazans refuted by translation discrepancies, contradictions, and eyewitness accounts.
There were other discrepancies in the original headline and its translation. Whereas the Hebrew version reads “Soldiers testify: IDF deliberately shoots towards Gazans near aid collection points,” the English version not only omitted any reference to mediating testimony or attribution, but also framed the event as an empirical fact: “IDF soldiers ordered to shoot deliberately at unarmed Gazans waiting for humanitarian aid.” Further, the phrase “waiting for humanitarian aid” may carry specific legal implications under international law, suggesting heightened vulnerability, whereas the Hebrew version referred more vaguely to crowds “near aid collection points.”
The subheader — which claimed soldiers were ordered to fire at unarmed civilians “even when no threat was present” — conflicted with the body of the text, which acknowledged that Israeli soldiers were wounded near the aid distribution zones. One sentence, appearing for the first time in the 21st paragraph, stood out: “There were also fatalities and injuries among IDF soldiers in these incidents.” The piece offered no explanation for how such casualties could occur if, as the article claims, no one else present was armed.
Elsewhere in the article, a soldier is quoted describing the IDF creating a “killing field,” supposedly involving heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers. But if such weapons were used with lethal intent, as Fox pointed out in a Substack post, the casualty rate would be far higher than the one to five reported per day. “That’s not a massacre,” he wrote, going on to quip that the only massacre to take place was one of “journalistic standards by Haaretz.”
“Could some soldiers accidentally miss and hit someone?” Fox wrote. “Yes. That is tragic and warrants investigation. However, the article itself acknowledges that the IDF is already examining those incidents. To jump from that to ‘deliberate killing fields’ is not responsible reporting. It is narrative laundering.”
The lack of video footage of the alleged mass shootings near GHF sites raises questions, given the large volume of media typically produced from Gaza, according to Fox, who noted that Hamas has repeatedly circulated images and clips for propaganda purposes.
“Every Gazan has a mobile phone, and numerous videos of other events have been released,” he wrote. “Why is there a total absence of any credible footage of these supposed IDF combined arms assaults on queuing civilians?”
Kemp, who visited two of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s distribution sites in the days following the report’s publication, described hearing distant gunfire but reported that the aid operation proceeded mostly without disruption.
“None of the Gazans there showed any concerns [about the IDF] whatsoever,” he said. Many of the civilians identified Hamas, not the IDF, as the main threat to the aid effort — a dynamic not acknowledged in the Haaretz report — telling Kemp they could not return home for fear of being recognized and targeted by Hamas.
“I must have spoken to at least 50 Gazans at each site,” he said. “Many told me they feared Hamas and Hamas threatened them if they used the sites.”
Kemp added that the atmosphere was chaotic but manageable, with GHF workers — most of them local Gazans — interfacing directly with the crowds. He described people smiling, holding up food packages, and expressing gratitude for the aid.
“The overwhelming impression was how grateful they were to be getting free aid for once, as opposed to buying aid looted by Hamas and sold at a premium,” he told The Algemeiner.
Many Gazans at the GHF sites who spoke to Kemp voiced hatred for Hamas and praised the US-backed aid effort, with some chanting “kill Hamas” while others said “I love America” or expressed admiration for President Donald Trump. The alignment between Hamas and UN criticism of the food program was “shocking,” Kemp added, particularly given the visible gratitude expressed by many recipients.
“They associate this aid program with the US,” he said. “They seem to like it, whereas Hamas and the UN seem to be its greatest enemies.”

When words become weapons
Schizo Piers Morgan Calls Out Jew Hatred. In a fiery exchange on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Israeli activist Hen Mazzig and journalist Taylor Lorenz spar over the power of inflammatory slogans, free speech, and the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israeli activist and writer Hen Mazzig confronted journalist Taylor Lorenz in a tense exchange on this week’s episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, sparking debate over the use and impact of incendiary slogans in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Hen was discussing Bob Vylan's calling "Death to the IDF' at the recent Glastonbury Festival. He said, "We don't want anyone to call for the death of anyone." Taylor said that chanting for death should be contextualized, and that calling to the death of a 'genocidal' military entity is acceptable.
Even Piers was disgusted (which takes a lot these days).
Taylor answered, "When people say Death to America, they don't mean Death to America ..., They mean death to American imperialism".
Piers answered, "I don't think you even believe the words you are saying."

White House urges UN to fire Special Rapporteur [infamous bigot] Francesca Albanese. It's pressing the United Nations to remove Francesca Albanese, the special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, over what officials describe as a pattern of inflammatory, legally questionable and antisemitic conduct.
In a formal diplomatic communication to UN leadership, the US accused Albanese of crossing ethical and legal boundaries by promoting fringe legal theories and issuing sweeping threats to American and international companies.
Albanese, an Italian academic appointed by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in 2022 and recently reappointed for a second term, has come under increasing scrutiny for her outspoken criticism and targeting of Israel. Recently, she sent letters to major companies, some of them US government contractors, warning that doing business with Israel could constitute “complicity in genocide,” “apartheid,” and other grave human rights abuses. The letters alleged potential criminal liability under international law.
The Trump administration lambasted these moves as a campaign of “political and economic warfare.” In a sharply worded letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, acting US Ambassador Dorothy Shea argued that Albanese’s claims were built on “false legal premises” and “inflammatory rhetoric,” warning that such conduct poses risks not just to Israel but to global business and diplomatic norms.
The controversy highlights longstanding US concerns about perceived anti-Israel bias at the UN, particularly within the Human Rights Council, where Israel has frequently been the target of critical resolutions.
US officials have also cast doubt on Albanese’s legal credentials, alleging that the special rapporteur is not an actual lawyer. The state department contends she routinely presents herself as an “international lawyer” despite reportedly never having passed a bar exam or been licensed to practice law. That detail, the US argues, should disqualify her from the diplomatic immunities typically granted to UN officials.

Zohran Mamdani visited radical ("little Palestine in Bay Ridge) Brooklyn mosque on campaign trail — just months after the imam called for the annihilation of Israel.
Mamdani’s alignment with the Muslim Brotherhood is not new. In 2013, as widespread demonstrations broke out in Egypt against then-President Mohamed Morsi, Mamdani publicly sided with Morsi’s Brotherhood-led administration. That same June, he took to Twitter to defend the group’s record in Egypt, publishing a lengthy thread titled “Unpacking Anti-Muslim Brotherhood Discourse.”
The Islamic Society of Bay Ridge, the mosque Mamdani visited, its former imam once hailed Reem Al-Riyashi, a Hamas suicide bomber who blew herself up in 2004, as a “martyr” and rejected the notion that Hamas commits terrorism. The mosque’s association with extremism traces back to 1994, when a Jewish student was murdered near the Brooklyn Bridge in a retaliatory attack tied to the group, following the massacre of Palestinians in Hebron by an Israeli gunman.

IDF Eliminate Hamas Operatives Behind 1990s Terror Attacks.
In a joint operation, Israel's Shin Bet and the IDF have killed three Hamas operatives involved in deadly attacks in the 1990s, security officials announced Monday. The men — Riyad Asila, Bassam Abu Sanina, and Mahmoud Sariya — were expelled to Gaza under the 2011 Gilad Shalit prisoner swap and had continued to plot attacks from the Strip. According to the statement, Asila and his cell were responsible for the 1998 murder of Israeli civilian Chaim Kerman in Jerusalem, and the 1996 killing of IDF Staff Sergeant Ehud (Udi) Tal at the Dothan Coordination and Liaison Administration. The targeted operation comes amid renewed concerns over the long-term impact of the Shalit deal, which saw over 1,000 prisoners released in exchange for a single Israeli soldier.
Canada: Antisemitism in Ontario schools: Teacher called Jewish 6-year-old 'half-human'
Canadian Special Envoy for Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism reports on nearly 800 antisemitic incidents in Ontario schools affecting 3,000 Jewish students.
The report documented 781 antisemitic incidents in Ontario K-12 schools, which affected about 3,000 Jewish students. More than 40% of antisemitic incidents involved Nazi salutes, such as assertions that Hitler should have "finished the job." Other chants included “F*** you Jews,” “Jews are vermin,” and “Jews are cheap.” Fewer than 60% of antisemitic incidents refered to Israel or the Israel-Hamas war.
Nearly one in six antisemitic incidents were initiated or approved by a teacher or involved a school-sanctioned activity. In one case, a teacher told a six-year-old girl that she was "half-human" because she had a Jewish parent.
49% of the incidents, or about half, were not investigated by the schools where they took place.

It was for a greater cause, I defended our home, your home.” He poured out his love, saying, “You showed me what true, limitless love is… Avia, you’re the purest soul I know.” He encouraged her to stay strong, adding, “Whenever you feel a little lost, look up at the sky, I’m there, watching over you from above.”
Biran ended with, “I truly hoped you’d never have to read this. I love you to the ends of the earth and back. Your Re'i.” Avia shared, “We were one of those timeless couples, destined to walk down the aisle together.”

Article: 'Conspiracy theorists blame Jews because they are cowards. Blaming the Jews is a comforting thought because the Jews are so few in number. [Re Tucker Carlson and his ilk]. JK Rowling captured the conspiracy theorist mindset perfectly in the fifth Harry Potter book. The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and his underling, Dolores Umbridge, cannot face the frightening reality of Voldemort’s return. So they create a fictional conspiracy centering on Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore, the two people sounding the alarm about the real threat to Wizarding Britain. In their cowardice, those government officials seek to avoid facing the real threat by inventing a fake threat from a far less terrifying source, an act that allows Voldemort to grow too powerful for them once they can no longer pretend reality does not exist. This is the primary reason conspiracy theories almost always lead to “the Jews are behind it all.” Conspiracy theorists do not seek real solutions to real problems. That would require bravery they do not have.'

Rather, the council gave Netanyahu a new deadline – the beginning of the Knesset winter session on October 19 – to find a solution to the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) IDF draft issue.
The decision came after the two factions from United Torah Judaism quit the government on Monday and Tuesday at the directive of their spiritual leaderships.

Article: 'Hypocrisy and double standards over the massacre of the Druze.' 'Some people blamed Israel—the only country that went to their aid—for attacking Syria. Syrian government forces carried out a four-day massacre this week of the Druze minority in Suweida, a Druze town in southern Syria. Yet this slaughter elicited no condemnation from those who, day in and day out, signal their own supposed virtue by falsely accusing Israel of war crimes. Faced with the evidence of a horrific attempt to exterminate the Druze, demonstrators who have been screaming about Israel’s “genocide[sic]” for the past 21 months were conspicuously absent from the streets and campuses. The likes of Amnesty and Human Rights Watch were silent. Al-Julani’s troops reportedly slaughtered the entire staff at Suweida’s hospital along with their patients. Yet from those who falsely accuse Israel of targeting hospitals in Gaza in order to kill patients and staff—and who wickedly ignore the fact that Hamas has turned them into terrorist hubs and thus made them into legitimate military targets—there was only silence. Astoundingly, these people instead blamed Israel—the only country that went to the aid of the Druze—for attacking Syria. António Guterres, the U.N. secretary-general, posted on X that he condemned the killing of any civilians, omitted to place responsibility on al-Julani’s forces and instead blamed Israel for defending the Druze.'
Israel Rescues Syria’s Druze.
To understand what set off the latest round of sectarian conflict in southern Syria, I suggest reading this very brief and useful summary by Carmit Valensi and Amal Hayek. The two note that, as in previous rounds of fighting, “internal pressure from the Druze community in Israel spurred Israeli military involvement.”
But Amit Segal argues that this incident was different from its predecessors:
The Druze area acts as a buffer for Israel. It’s like a shield against Syria, which is essentially part of a Turkish empire, something that deeply disturbs Israel. But there’s one more thing that’s changed in recent months. Israel is acting as a regional power for the first time, and only history will judge if this was wise or a mistake. When Israel sees situations such as what’s happening in Syria, it intervenes.
This has never happened before. Israel says it’s not just about immediate interests, but also about allies. There is also here a moral element, that goes beyond what some see as Jerusalem caving to domestic pressure from its Druze citizens. After all, no other country has lifted a finger to protect Middle Eastern minorities from slaughter.
Druze accuse the Syrian Government of Ethnic Cleansing. 'We’ve seen this movie with Hamas': Druze Spiritual leader speaks out after violence in Syria, he said that Israeli Druze are distrustful of interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. "It was a mistake to lift the sanctions; he hasn’t changed his stripes."
“Julani Is A Murderer:” Druze MK Hamad Amar entered Syria with IDF soldiers. “I returned tonight from Syria after we took young people out of there. I entered with the IDF at the request of IDF officers to prevent danger to the young Druze and to help bring them back.” “Am Yisrael needs to understand what is happening in Syria,” Amar said. “Monsters murdered and raped little girls. They are raging there under the auspices of Julani, who himself murdered people with his own hands.” “What is happening there is a religious war. Whoever is Druze is murdered. The world is raising a monster. Trump says: ‘Julani is nice, handsome!’ This handsome man murdered and raped women. He is behind these events. These are his soldiers and this is his belief. We are all in danger if this monster continues to operate in Syria.” “He is behind these actions,” Amar said. “These are the actions of his people. These are his tanks, the soldiers are his soldiers, and the armed, extremist groups—it’s all his. This is his belief. He imbibed extremism from the age of zero. We are in danger within Israel if this monster continues to grow there in Syria.” When Amar was asked if Israel needs to protect the Druze residents of Syria, he replied: “My brother’s brother is my brother, just as for me every Jew is a brother, and I am willing to fight for every Jew everywhere. We, as Druze and Jews have a covenant. Yes, you know, they often say a blood covenant. But it’s beyond that: as human beings, we need to intervene.”
(Related: Druze in Israel have forged what is often referred to as “a covenant of blood” with the Jewish state. Jethro—the biblical prophet Moses’ father-in-law—is the most important prophet in the Druze religion and the ancestor of all Druze. Alongside the Jewish majority, the Druze in Israel are the only religious community that is required by law to serve in the Israel Defense Forces [at the request of Druze religious and communal leaders]).

Burning questions: What really happened at Taybeh’s Church? Investigation finds key inconsistencies in claims that radical Israelis torched a 1,500-year-old church in Taybeh, uncovering evidence of Jewish residents trying to extinguish the fire and raising doubts about political motives.
Anarcho-Islamist alliance to drive a wedge among God fearing Zionists.
'Is Israel really targeting Christians? That’s what major headlines are saying after a church in Gaza was reportedly struck by the IDF, and a fire near the Church of St. George in Taybeh was blamed on Jewish settlers. Even U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee is now calling it an "act of terror." But what if these viral stories aren’t what they seem?'
- “Contrary to the claims made by local Arabs in the area of Ramallah, several investigations have found that no church was burned. Also it looks that the violence was in between the Arab community with no links to the Jews who are living in the area. Actually the Jews are those who complain at the police.”
and
- ‘Let us emphasize and clarify: no Jewish “nationalist crime” was committed, no church was set on fire, and no cemetery was desecrated. Quite the contrary, Christian Arabs from the village of Taiba set fire to open areas, four times in one week, to prevent Jews from grazing there.
Here are the facts:
- ?- The cattle herders of the Rimonim Farm in Binyamin have been suffering for a long time from harassment, attacks, and arson in their grazing areas, including from the village of Taiba - a nearby Christian village.
- On 03/07, Arabs from the village set fire to their grazing areas to prevent the possibility of Jewish grazing there. Additional arson also occurred on 07/07, 08/07, and 11/07.
- The incident that caused a stir occurred on 07/07. For the second time in a week, Arabs from the village started a fire that began to spread rapidly. The farm residents rushed to the spot with motorized blowers and fire extinguishers - the ultimate tools for dealing with fires in open areas, and managed to bring the fire under control. At the same time, the flames also spread towards the village, but the farm insisted on fighting to extinguish this source of fire even though they could have easily said “let them eat the porridge they cooked”, and stopped the fire just before it entered the line of houses where, among other things, an ancient church and cemetery are located.
- m- In the entire incident, no damage was caused in any way to either the church or the cemetery, and they certainly were not “completely burned down” or “severely damaged”, thanks in part to the residents who fought the fire with their bare hands. This is a fact, not an interpretation. See the drone image that clearly shows it.
- Here a wild blood libel began to turn the arson incident from Arab-Christian terrorism into “Jewish terrorism.”
- Photos of Jewish boys battling flames with blowers and bats were published by Israel haters and branded as “settlers fanning the flames they set.” Widespread condemnations were issued, large Christian delegations visited the scene, and senior US government officials called for the Jewish arsonists to be brought to justice.
- But what is the big problem? So far, not a single complaint has been filed with the police. I’ll repeat it again: The police have been investigating the incident for a week to get to the truth and catch the arsonists, a global campaign is underway, and in a village that is seemingly 100 percent convinced that Jews set fire and even fanned the flames with their faces exposed, they simply refuse to complain to the police.’

Article: '"I’m a Genocide Scholar"… And I’ve Been Prepping My NYT Genocide Case Against Israel for Years. “I’m a genocide scholar,” proclaims the headline of Omer Bartov’s recent guest essay in The New York Times. And therefore, he assures us, “I know it when I see it.” Except this isn’t the first time Bartov, a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, has thought he saw genocide, or something like it, in Israel’s actions toward the Palestinians. In fact, it’s not even the first time since last year. Although Bartov opens the piece by saying that “a month after the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023,” the situation “did not seem to me to rise to the crime of genocide,” a quick review of his public record suggests he had been laying the groundwork for this accusation long before the war in Gaza began
Article: 'I’m a War Scholar. There Is No Genocide in Gaza.'.. Omer Bartov ... As a professor of genocide studies, he should know better. Genocide is not defined by a few comments taken out of context, by estimates of casualties or destruction, or by how war looks in headlines or on social media. It is defined by specific intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group in whole or in part. That is a high legal bar. Bartov did not meet it. He did not even try. I am not a lawyer or a political activist. I am a war expert. I have led soldiers in combat. I have trained military units in urban warfare for decades and studied and taught military history, strategy, and the laws of war for years. Since October 7, I have been to Gaza four times embedded with the Israel Defense Forces. I have interviewed the Prime Minister of Israel, the Defense Minister, the IDF Chief of Staff, Southern Command leadership, and dozens of commanders and soldiers on the front lines. I have reviewed their orders, watched their targeting process, and seen soldiers take real risks to avoid harming civilians. Nothing I have seen or studied resembles genocide or genocidal intent...'

Article: 'No, Israel Is Not Committing Genocide in Gaza.' A voice of reason. Brett Stephens: There is No Genocide in Gaza. There is no Genocide in Gaza and there never has been. Further, the fault for any suffering being endured lies squarely at the door of Hamas, who could end the war at any moment. Bret Stephens wades into one of the most hotly debated issues of late: whether Israel’s military actions in Gaza constitute genocide. The article has ignited fierce discussion, with supporters praising its legal clarity and critics decrying it as dismissive of Palestinian suffering. For those seeking to understand a perspective that challenges the genocide label through a legal and military lens, Stephens’ piece offers a provocative entry point, one that demands careful scrutiny, not just buying the Hamas propaganda shoved in our faces over and over again.. Stephens’ Core Argument. Stephens, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist known for his conservative-leaning foreign policy commentary, anchors his argument in the United Nations Convention on Genocide, which defines genocide as acts committed with “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.” He asserts that Israel’s actions in Gaza, while devastating, do not meet this threshold. Citing the Gaza Health Ministry’s reported death toll of approximately 60,000, Stephens argues that the figure is far lower than what a genocidal campaign, given Israel’s military might, would produce. He points to Israel’s operational choices, such as issuing evacuation warnings, conducting ground operations that risk its own soldiers, and avoiding heavy strikes where hostages may be held, as evidence against genocidal intent. In contrast, he explains that on Hamas’s October 7, Hamas slaughtered over 1,200 Israelis, deliberately targeting civilians based on identity, aligning it closer to the genocide definition. Stephens’ legal lens is narrow by design, focusing on the specific criterion of intent. He dismisses inflammatory statements by Israeli officials, such as calls to “erase” Gaza, as “vengeful sound bites” rather than policy directives. His military analysis suggests that Israel’s actions reflect a counterterrorism strategy, however brutal, rather than a systematic extermination campaign. This framing challenges the genocide label by emphasizing legal and operational distinctions, inviting readers to open their eyes. Why Listen to Him: Legal Clarity: By grounding his argument in the UN’s genocide definition, Stephens provides a structured framework for assessing a term often used rhetorically. This can help readers navigate the emotional weight of the debate and focus on specific criteria, such as intent, which is central to international law. Military Context: Stephens’ analysis of Israel’s operational tactics, evacuation warnings, targeted strikes, and restraint in hostage zones, offers insight into how military strategy is used to argue against genocidal intent. Counterpoint to Prevailing Narratives: As a conservative voice in a liberal-leaning outlet, Stephens challenges what some see as a rush to label Israel’s actions as genocide. His piece resonates with those skeptical of mainstream media or international bodies like the UN, which have faced accusations of bias from pro-Israel advocates. On platforms like X, supporters of Stephens’ view argue that his piece cuts through hyperbolic accusations, with posts citing the legal definition and Israel’s restraint as key points. Outlets like 'Israel Hayom' have echoed his reasoning, emphasizing that the casualty figures and military tactics do not align with genocidal campaigns like those in Rwanda or Bosnia.'

Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon participated in a UN Security Council debate on the Middle East and announced that Israel would take measures against the organization's humanitarian aid agency (OCHA), after claiming links between senior officials in the organization and Hamas. "OCHA is a Hamas propaganda arm operating from within the UN, using false data to harm Israel," he said. According to him, hundreds of agency employees in Israel will undergo security screening, and residence visas for senior officials will not be renewed, including OCHA's West Bank branch head Jonathan Whittall.

Reactibg to Nacton "Palestine" state decision:
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Washington “strongly rejects” Macron’s plan. “This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace,” Rubio stated. “It is a slap in the face to the victims of Oct. 7.” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) stated that Macron’s decision is “a shameful endorsement of terrorists” and that “the best way for this conflict to end is to back Israel in its righteous mission of rescuing the hostages and defeating Hamas.” Isr. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said, “The French president’s pretension to create by mere words an illusory arrangement in our land is ridiculous and not serious,” adding that Macron’s latest statement showed that all the conditions he had set a few weeks ago had evaporated. “All that remains is the illusory state he presumes to establish,” Sa’ar wrote on X. “A Palestinian state will be a Hamas state, just as the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip twenty years ago led to Hamas taking control of it. President Macron cannot provide security for Israel Let’s hope he succeeds in doing so on the streets of Paris. Israel’s attempt to base its security on Palestinian promises to fight terror completely failed in the Oslo process. Israel will no longer gamble on its security and its future.” Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli wrote on X, “President @EmmanuelMacron, Here is the appropriate response to your recognition of a Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas terrorism,” posting a video from a 2017 incident in which Macron was slapped by a man during an election campaign appearance in Tain-l’Hermitage. Defense Minister Israel Katz posted on X, “Macron’s announcement of his intention to recognize a Palestinian state is a disgrace and a surrender to terrorism, granting a reward and encouragement to the murderers and rapists of Hamas, who carried out the most horrific massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.” He added, “Instead of standing with Israel at this challenging time, the French president is acting to weaken it. We will not allow the establishment of a Palestinian entity that would harm our security, endanger our existence, and undermine our historical right to the Land of Israel. We are all united to prevent this grave danger.” Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, stated that “neither international conferences disconnected from reality nor unilateral statements at the United Nations will lead to peace.” “Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state after the massacre of Oct. 7 and precisely at a time when Hamas is still holding hostages is a disgraceful reward for terrorism,” Danon said. “Anyone who ignores the reality on the ground—that Israel has no partner for peace—harms not only Israel but the stability of the entire region.” AIPAC stated that Macron “is acting as Hamas’s handmaiden” and is “rewarding Hamas’s barbaric attack on the Jewish state on Oct. 7.” “This unilateral recognition makes peace and reconciliation even more elusive,” it said. “We urge the administration and Congress to express their opposition to the French government concerning this irresponsible action.” Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas welcomed Macron’s affirmation that “France will officially recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly session in September.” According to the Palestinian news agency, WAFA, “Abbas expressed deep appreciation for the courageous step by France, one that will contribute significantly to achieving peace based on the two-state solution in line with international legitimacy and international law.”

M Free Palestine is Heil Hitler. Free Palestine means the same dark fantasy as Heil Hitler - a world without Jews"
It's striking to observe the shifts in global responses to the Jewish people throughout history. From the horrific period of 1939-1945, when the world seemed to largely remain silent as the Jewish people faced destruction, we've arrived at a different point today. Now, with Jews armed and capable of defending themselves, the silence has often been replaced by vocal opposition, with some rallying in support of those who openly seek their destruction. This invites us to consider the underlying dynamics at play.

‘I saw something different’: IDF reservist refutes intl. claims of intentional starvation. He's betwen rounds of duty after completing more than 300 days of service since October 7. In an exclusive interview he recounts what he saw during one of the most contested incidents of the war, challenging headlines that claimed Israeli soldiers opened fire on starving civilians. Another IDF reservist who was present at the scene also spoke the account of the incident, including the sequence of events and the nature of the crowd that approached the distribution site. Access to Gaza has been limited, and the foreign press has been unable to enter the area to tell the story accurately. Since the soldier gave this account, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) has challenged Hamas’ claim of widespread starvation in Gaza with a statement on Thursday that “there is no famine in the Gaza Strip,” while acknowledging “there are issues of access to food” in certain “pockets” in Gaza. Photos were circulated on social media showing 1,000 humanitarian aid trucks stalled outside the Gaza Strip. While the UN claims that Israel’s bureaucracy prevents distribution, Col. Abdullah Halabi of COGAT told Yahoo News, “The State of Israel allows the entry of humanitarian aid beyond the standards of international law, without restriction. As long as the international community makes an effort to bring in the aid, we will allow them to bring it in.” The IDF announced that, in response to the humanitarian situation in Gaza, it will renew the airdrop of aid into the Gaza Strip. The effort will be coordinated by COGAT and the Israeli air force and will include seven aid pallets containing flour, sugar, and canned food provided by international organizations. In addition, the IDF said it will facilitate the movement of aid trucks within Gaza.

100,000 aid trucks and counting: Israeli official reveals scope of massive Gaza relief effort.
Unacceptable.
Leaked BBC Memo Tells Staff to Blame Israel and GHF for Gaza Food Crisis.
A leaked BBC memo instructing staff to blame Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza's food crisis has sparked outrage and accusations of bias, as critics question the broadcaster's commitment to impartiality and responsible journalism.
Gila Isaacson.
The internal BBC memo titled “Covering the food crisis in Gaza” has ignited a firestorm of controversy, with allegations that it directs staff to blame Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) for the region’s ongoing food shortages. The document, first reported by *The Spectator* on Monday, explicitly instructs journalists to frame the aid system as nonfunctional and attribute the humanitarian failure solely to Israel and GHF, while dismissing logistical data about aid deliveries as “irrelevant.”
The memo calls for omitting or downplaying Hamas’s role in obstructing or redirecting aid. This directive has raised serious questions about the BBC’s commitment to impartiality, a cornerstone of its public service mandate. Critics argue that the memo oversimplifies a complex situation, sidelining other contributing factors and undermining basic journalistic principles of impartiality and not presenting skewed data to push a false and harmful narrative.
GHF, established earlier in 2025 with support from the U.S. and Israel, has faced international scrutiny due to civilian deaths at chaotic aid sites and its militarized coordination zones. GHF is not a perfect solution. In fact, it was never meant to be the entire solution. But it has successfully provided millions of meals to Gazans, which the UN refused to do. It's also a known fact that the UN trucks were consistently hijacked by Hamas, who either steal the food, store it in their own warehouses for personal use or re-sell it at exorbitant prices.The UN went so far as to refuse to transport trucks filled with aids to hungry Gazans, which are sitting there rotting in the punishing July heat.
Hamas has been to blame for many of the deaths at GHF zones, including stabbing Gazans waiting for aid parcels to create panic and stampeding and even shooting them. However, the leaked memo’s focus on Israel and GHF, without adequate context, has been described as a distortion of reality.
The backlash has been swift. *The Spectator*’s article highlights the memo’s prescriptive nature, suggesting a top-down editorial diktat that discards impartiality. Social media reactions have labeled the BBC’s approach as part of an “anti-Israel crusade,” with some accusing the organization of catering to a narrative that ignores Hamas’s actions. The memo’s timing is particularly sensitive, coinciding with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s July 29, 2025, announcement to recognize Palestine at the UN, unless Israel takes peace-oriented steps, further intensifying the debate.
The incident occurs amidst rising antisemitism, with the Global Terrorism Index reporting a 28% increase in incidents in 2024, and the National Institute of Justice noting the radicalizing potential of online propaganda. Critics argue that such directives not only misinform the public but also contribute to a toxic environment, inciting further conflict and Jew hatred.

Article: ' ‘Starvation’ in Gaza. Who's to blame?
In the Middle East, war is conducted not only with bullets and missiles, but also with pictures. The latest are pictures of allegedly starving children in Gaza distributed by Hamas and its enablers with the intention of blaming Israel for delaying, even denying entry of food trucks into the strip.
Such pictures are gobbled up and distributed to the world without question by media that are always critical of Israel and hardly critical at all of forces that seek to destroy the Jewish state.
Perhaps no nation in history has cared about preserving human life more than modern Israel. It even treats its wounded enemies in Israeli hospitals. It releases hundreds of convicted terrorists in exchange for a handful of captured Israeli soldiers. It distributes leaflets and makes phone calls urging civilians to evacuate areas inhabited by Hamas terrorists before those areas are attacked. What other nation does that?
The New York Post reports “Col. Abdullah Halabi, from the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories, told reporters last week that around 1,000 truckloads of aid remain undelivered ‘due to a lack of cooperation from the international community and international organizations.'” Predictably, others are blaming Israel, which plays into Hamas’ hands.
The problem for Israel is that it has defeated Hamas, but Hamas won’t surrender. The terrorist organization is the main impediment to getting food to those who need it, but the seeds of today’s disaster began in 2005 when Israel unilaterally disengaged from the Gaza Strip by dismantling all 21 of its remaining settlements. It didn’t take a prophet to predict the vacuum would soon be filled by terrorists eager to use Gaza as a base for attacking Israel.'

Post: 'How Hamas lies get laundered by the UN and media as truth.'
How misleading narratives, particularly regarding civilian deaths in Gaza, get amplified by the media and organizations like the UN, often due to misreporting and a lack of distinction between verified information and speculative conclusions.
1. The UN Report:
A recent report by the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated that over 1,000 Palestinians had been killed since May, many while trying to access food at humanitarian aid sites. The UN spokesperson, Thameen al-Kheetan, was careful to state that the numbers were still being verified and did not explicitly blame Israel for these deaths. However, a UN News article, not an official statement, assumed Israel was responsible, which was then reported uncritically by the AP.
2. Media Distortion:
The report notes that the UN’s cautious wording, carefully avoiding assigning blame, was misrepresented by the UN News journalist, and this confusion was passed on by the AP. The text argues that while OCHA reports the numbers and sources, they refrain from directly blaming Israel, but the media editorialized by implicitly assuming Israeli responsibility.
3. Possible Explanations for Civilian Deaths: The text suggests that the deaths could have other explanations. For example, Haaretz reported that Israeli forces used non-lethal fire to control crowds at a food distribution point, which led to 48 deaths. However, the IDF claimed there were no fatalities from their fire and mentioned internal conflicts within the crowd. The text proposes that Hamas may have orchestrated violence within crowds to create chaos and discredit Israel, which is more plausible than suggesting the IDF intentionally killed civilians.
4. Media Bias and Propaganda:
The exposing article concludes by attributing the distortion of facts to a combination of ignorance, anti-Israel bias, and possibly antisemitism. The author suggests that a professional army, like the IDF, would not intentionally harm civilians without provocation, and the amplification of misleading information benefits Hamas by delegitimizing Israel and its aid efforts.
Overall, the piece critiques the media’s role in spreading narratives that lack verification and the failure to question potential propaganda from Hamas.

In the Palestinian Authority, ‘Police by day, terrorists by night’. The one point on which the PA and Hamas agree.

But instead of fighting terrorists, they are themselves terrorists.'
Article: 'Who’s really starving Gaza?'
While Gaza is facing real hunger, blame lies not with Israel but with Hamas. The false narrative that Israel is "starving" Gaza, fact is, Israel allows humanitarian aid—even during war—and coordinates food, water, fuel, and medical deliveries, despite security risks. Hamas is hijacking aid, hoarding resources, and using starvation as a propaganda tool to vilify Israel. Egypt isnt innocent eithet for keeping its Rafah border closed due to Hamas’s threat. The global narrative is manipulated and the real blockade is around the truth, not Gaza.

Revealing detail in hostage video exposes Hamas starvation hoax. Hamas claims hostage Evyatar David shares meager rations with captors, but a well-fed terrorist’s hand caught on camera tells a different story; survivors and family denounce the starvation as sadistic propaganda Hamas released two disturbing videos of 24‑year‑old hostage Evyatar David, kidnapped during the October 7 massacre from the Nova music festival, who has now been held in Gaza for 666 days. The Gaza-based terror group claimed that David’s emaciated condition was due to eating from the same food and drink as his captors But a moment captured in a new video released Saturday undercuts that claim: a captor hands David a can of food overflowing with nourishment, contrasting sharply with his visibly malnourished frame. “This can is for two days,” David says in the footage, reviewing his journal of meals—lentils, beans—or days when he received no food at all.

UNRWA’s dark secret: Hamas terrorists still on payroll, including Oct. 7 kidnapper.
UNRWA staffer list includes many names of Hamas terrorists. In one example, UNRWA driver Mohammad Abi Itiwi participated in the kidnapping of Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, Israeli diplomat Amir Weissbrod said. Weissbrod provided three examples of terrorists on the UNRWA payroll: • Mohammad Abi Itiwi, according to the diplomat, is listed as an UNRWA driver despite the fact that he “participated in the kidnapping of young Israelis from a bomb shelter near Kibbutz Re’im” during the Hamas-led massacre on Oct. 7, 2023. Abu Itiwi was killed by the Israel Defense Forces in August 2024, yet he is “still employed [and] getting money,” Weissbrod wrote. • Naji Abdullah Abu Aziz is “a school principal by day and a member of the chemical manufacturing unit of Hamas by night,” the diplomat continued. “I showed information about [Aziz] a few times in my account, and this information was also given to U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Tom Fletcher,” Weissbrod said. Israel informed the U.N. about Aziz’s terrorist activities in 2011 and again in 2024, yet he is still employed by UNRWA, the Israeli official lamented. • Khalid Said El-Masry was also listed as an UNRWA school principal, despite Israeli security forces finding a tunnel beneath his school. Weissbrod informed the agency about El-Masry’s membership in the Hamas terrorist organization, but his employee status has not been removed, he added. These are “just a small sample from many examples to show why any responsible government that doesn’t want that its taxpayers money get to Hamas should not fund UNRWA,” Weissbrod said.

How Hamas stages scenes of suffering.
A new investigation raises serious allegations against Anas Zayed Patia, a Gazan photographer accused of staging suffering scenes to serve Hamas propaganda.
A recent investigation by the German newspaper Bild has raised concerns about Gazan photographer Anas Zayed Patia, alleging that he was involved in staging humanitarian scenes used in pro-Hamas media narratives.
Patia, whose work has appeared in various international newspapers and news agencies, is accused of selectively curating images to highlight suffering in Gaza in a way that may distort context and serve political messaging against Israel.
One widely circulated image captured by Patia shows a group of people appearing to wait desperately for food. However, the report claims that those individuals later received aid, questioning why the full sequence of events was not documented or shared.
The investigation also notes that Patia maintains an active presence on social media, where he frequently posts content in support of the Palestinian cause. In one instance, he shared an image with the caption "Free Palestine" — a slogan commonly associated with Palestinian political movements.
Following the report, several news agencies have reportedly announced they will cease working with Patia, citing concerns over objectivity and the authenticity of the images provided. Media outlets stressed the importance of verifying visual content before publication.
Patia has not publicly responded to the allegations and has yet to address questions regarding the circumstances of the images in question. The investigation also states that Patia identifies as a journalist for Anadolu Agency, an Islamist-Erdogan's Turkish state-supported news outlet known for its pro-Palestinian stance and ties to the Hamas-affiliated narrative.
'Today it was revealed that this TIME photo from Gaza was completely staged — a total fake. But they published it anyway. Because when it comes to Gaza, basic journalistic standards no longer apply.'
'Photographer.. Anas Zayed Patia, stages Gaza suffering. Media blindly, irresponsibly accepts it without question. Retraction will appear 2 weeks later, fine print, hidden among other verbal mush, page 49.'
