Hamas 'deliberately and systematically' using Gazans as 'human shields' in Israel war. EXCLUSIVE: Hamas are 'deliberately and systematically' using human shields to cause civilian deaths that can be used for propaganda, a report claims. By Conor Wilson, News Reporter. May 5, 2025.

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.

The resulting conflict has seen as many as 50,000[sic] people killed in Israeli strikes, according to Palestinian health[sic] authorities, although this number is impossible to verify, as is the cause of death of those included in the statistics. Israel has been largely condemned for its part in the killing, with a case being lodged in the International Court of Justice accusing the country of genocide, but the report’s author believes that the role of Hamas in the killing is too often overlooked.

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.”

Since the Israel Defence Force (IDF) commenced military action in Gaza, pro-Palestinian marches have erupted regularly across Europe and North America, highlighting the disparity between criticism of Israel and that directed towards Hamas.. Express UK

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. Yitz Goldberg. Published: May 5, 2025, 9:16 AM (GMT [...] However, 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.".. INN

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. David Brummer. May 5, 2025

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.

Teenage former hostage: Terrorist touched me constantly, said he wants us to get married. Freed hostages Dafna Elyakim and Omer Wenkert recount harrowing experiences in Gaza, urging unity beyond politics and emphasizing the human cost of Hamas captivity. Idan Bloemhof | published:05.06.25

A 16-year-old Israeli girl freed from Hamas captivity said Tuesday that one of her captors repeatedly touched her and told her she would not be released with the others so he could marry her. Dafna Elyakim, who was taken hostage during Hamas’ October 7 assault on southern Israel, shared her account at a youth event organized by Israel’s Civil Public Diplomacy Directorate.

“One of the terrorists kept touching me,” she said. “He said everyone else would be freed, and I would stay with him so he could marry me.” Elyakim added that the same man insisted on escorting her to the shower, but she refused.

Another former hostage, Omer Wenkert, also spoke at the event, describing the traumatic experience of his abduction and months in captivity. “On the way to the party, we joked it would be a shame if there were rockets — and then it really happened,” he said. “We ran to the car, hid, and minutes later I was underground.”

Wenkert said he was initially held with another hostage, Liel Or, but later spent 179 days alone. “The hardest part was the confinement,” he said. “I couldn’t stand or jump. On my birthday, they beat me. I just prayed that next year they wouldn’t.” YNet
