 +
Editorial:
 +
Remember the hostages. Remember that Israel will live and fight on.
 +
Today is a day of mourning for Israel and for every civilized living human.
 +
One year ago, the genocidal butchers of Hamas invaded the Jewish state.
 +
On the orders of Ismail Haniyeh, now blessedly burning in Hell, and with the backing and permission of Iran, paramilitary crews of terrorists surged over the border under cover of darkness and began to kill.
 +
They did not target soldiers or military facilities.
 +
No, they shot, stabbed, burned and murdered indiscriminately: the old, the young, infants.
 +
They raped women and dragged their violated bodies in celebration.
 +
They committed unthinkable atrocities at the Nova Festival, at Kibbutz Nir Oz and elsewhere.
 +
We won’t give their sick fans around the world the pleasure of reciting them. The unbearable facts, at this point, are well known.
 +
And they took 251 hostages.
 +
That’s 251 lives stolen. Families torn apart.
 +
Now 97 still remain in the terror tunnels, with 33 believed dead.
 +
Today is a day to remember and honor them.
 +
Like Gadi Moshe Mozes, an 80-year-old Nir Oz potato farmer and beloved grandfather.
 +
What military reason justified his abduction?
 +
And Kfir Bibas, 1 year old.
 +
One.
 +
This innocent child (if still alive; Hamas has bruited his possible death in a piece of psychological warfare) has now spent his first year on this earth as a prisoner.
 +
There are Americans among them, seven all told.
 +
Like Edan Alexander, originally from New Jersey.
 +
Sagui Dekel-Chen, who rushed into confrontation with Hamas’ murderous and cowardly thugs before being captured himself.
 +
And Gad and Judy Haggai, both now dead, a loving married couple.
 +
Since the atrocities, Israel has waged a heroic war against Hamas as it fights to recover its citizens and defeat the bloodthirsty killers who long to see the Jewish state destroyed and its Jewish citizenry obliterated.
 +
Despite obstacles placed in its path at every turn by the Biden administration, which has aligned itself with Iran.
 +
Despite the blood libels bayed from UN podiums, seats of European government, elite universities and — to America’s undying shame — by members of the US Congress like Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman and their vile cohort.
 +
It’s been a year. A year.
 +
And still Hamas has been allowed to keep these hostages with no meaningful repercussions by the United States, the United Nations or any other self-appointed arbiter of human rights.
 +
As if the open abduction of civilians — of babies — was a lawful act of war.
 +
That’s why we must keep their names in our minds and hearts.
 +
And on our tongues, too, as we decry this enormity before the world until the world listens.
 +
But despite all that, Jews and civilized humans everywhere need to remember this inextinguishable truth: .עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי.'
 +
 +
 +

 +
 +
Some 80% of Gaza fatalities are Hamas or family members. Israel has estimated that 17,000 combatants have been killed in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023.
 +

Article: The big lie of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s 10 days in ‘Palestine’. There are times when terrible books can be useful. In the case of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ truly awful The Message, the author has not only demonstrated exactly how and why America’s chattering classes have not just turned on Israel and are supporting an ideological war against its existence. Coates has given us more than that.
 +
During his book tour of the mainstream media, he also helped illustrate how a mob mentality and woke bureaucratic structures have gutted a supposedly prestigious legacy outlet like CBS News. At virtually every other stop, Coates was treated as a hero, offered only softball questions and never challenged about the bogus nature of his latest work. But one journalist, Tony Dokoupil, a host on CBS Mornings, had the temerity to ask Coates some tough questions about the inaccuracies of his book and its true intent, which is to delegitimize and amplify calls for Israel’s destruction.'

CNN Hides Iran’s Genocidal Ambitions.

As Iran and its terrorist proxies wage war against the Jewish state, CNN owes its audience the truth about Iran’s goal: the destruction of the Jewish state. This is especially so when Iran itself states it publicly.

Yet, in a video report aired on Wednesday, CNN hid Iran’s openly genocidal rhetoric by egregiously mistranslating the regime’s own words. The video report shows an image of a large sign displayed in Tehran. The sign features images from Iran’s October 1 ballistic missile attack against Israel. Over these images, there is text in both Farsi and Hebrew. The narrator describes the text as follows: “‘If you want war, we are the masters of war,’ this poster in Revolution Square Reads, both in Farsi and in Hebrew..

"When I came into Gaza, I saw a lot of people," Yahalomi shared with the "Children of October 7" project. "Civilians hit me, I started hearing gunshots and shouts in Arabic... The terrorists showed me video clips where they killed people, they were happy. I didn't look to the side because they didn't allow me, but I also saw things in the real world. I think about it all the time."

Yahalomi, whose father is still held in Gaza, said, "I ate a pita a day, and a cucumber. Now I don't sleep a lot, it's as if I went through the worst possible, and that's it..."
 +
Yahalomi's father, Ohad, is still held captive in Gaza. Ohad's sister Ayala told Israel National News - Arutz Sheva, "Ohad lived in Nir Oz with his wife and three children that morning - not anything unusual. Unfortunately they woke up to the sound of sirens and missiles falling - but they quickly understood that something else was happening."
 +
"Slowly, slowly, they began to hear voices in Arabic outside, 'Itbah al Yahud' (kill the Jew -ed.), and 'Allahu akhbar,' (G-d is great; a phrase commonly said prior to carrying out terror attacks - ed.), and they quickly understood that there were terrorists around their home. Afterwards the scale of it was understood, and that hundreds of terrorists were inside Nir Oz."
 +
"Ohad at some point - because the door of the bomb shelter did not close - he chose to protect his family from outside the bomb shelter. He closed the door on them with the intention of protecting them. At some point, the terrorists just broke into Ohad's home, fired at him, injured his limbs, his hand and thigh, and the moment they had him down and he sat on the floor they opened the door of the bomb shelter, where his wife Batsheva and three children were."

Article: 'The Real Scandal at CBS News is Promoting a Terror Apologist Before Oct 7
 +
The Jews are guilty of “an enormous con[sic]”, he storms, their history is “a poorly wrought fairy tale[sic]”.
 +
It was bad enough that professional woke author Ta-Nehisi Coates chose to go all in on antisemitism and Islamic terrorism with his new book of essays ‘The Message’ (which I reviewed today), but Random House, an ex-Nazi corporation that publishes all of his screeds, chose to release it in time for the Oct 7 anniversary of the Hamas attacks.
 +
CBS News then decided to schedule a featured morning interview with Coates to promote his hateful book which makes no mention of Hamas, but does repeatedly attack Israel and Jews, before Oct 7.
 +
Coates denounces Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust museum.
 +
“This putative[sic] ‘Jewish democracy’ is, like its American patron, an expansionist power,” Coates sneers.
 +
The Jews are guilty of “an enormous con[sic]”, he storms, their history is “a poorly wrought fairy tale[sic]” and a compensation of “violent impotence” for the Holocaust.
 +
CBS News featuring Coates before Oct 7 is the equivalent of bringing on a Holocaust denier ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day.
 +
It was obscene.
 +
But then one of the hosts, Tony Dokoupil, asked Coates some basic questions that were slightly challenging. And the woke staff and leadership at CBS News demanded Dokoupil’s head. A DEI expert was brought in and a struggle session was led at which Doukopil was forced to apologize for doing his job and not letting Gayle King ask sweetheart questions which she had provided Coates with beforehand.
 +
And CBS News brass were accusing Dokoupil, not King, of violating “journalism standards.”
 +
The whole scandal is now playing out in the media and it’s telling that asking a racist bigot basic questions instead of pandering to him is a ‘scandal’ rather than what one might have called ‘journalism’.
 +
But the real scandal still is that CBS News brought on a terror apologist and then announced a review of a journalist condemned for asking him questions in time for Oct 7.'

Article: 'The creepy thought experiments of Ta-Nehisi Coates.
 +
I cannot believe this needs to be said in 2024, but there is no context in which killing innocent Jews becomes understandable. Everywhere one looks these days, people are ‘contextualising’ pogroms. Among the cranky online right there is a creepy new trend of excuse-making for the Nazis’ extermination of Europe’s Jews. And among the woke left, there’s a rush to provide context for Hamas’s butchery of 7 October. Gaza is hellish, they say. Its people are oppressed, they insist. As if any of that explains the rape of Jewish women or the hurling of hand grenades into Jewish children’s faces. No political grievance, not one, makes sense of Jew murder.
 +
The most striking thing about Coates’s latest artless intervention into the discussion of Israel-Gaza is how he puts himself slap bang in the middle of it. Many of today’s moral relativists who masquerade as progressive thinkers have said, or at least implied, that 7 October was a prison-break by the persecuted, a revolt of the downtrodden. But Coates goes a step further. He wonders what he would do. He puts himself in the shoes of the pogromists. I’m all for empathy. But trying to get into the hearts and minds of the men who raped Jewish women and then shot them? Yeah, that’s where my empathy dries up.
 +
Coates’s thought experiment speaks not only to the moral disarray of contemporary ‘progressive’ thought, but to its narcissism, too. As with his new book, The Message, which includes a long section on a trip he took to Israel and Palestine, Coates seems hell-bent on centring his own emotions and hang-ups. The entire wartorn Middle East is reduced to a therapist’s couch for a moneyed American trying to make sense of his own life experiences. His interest in the region seems little more than an extension of his own ceaseless self-reflection as the literary establishment’s anointed truth-teller on race.'
