Arab-Islamist "Palestinian" attack, atrocities
Beginning in the morning of Oct 7, 2023:
The Islamic Republic of Iran's backed "Palestinian" terror organization Hamas 'Gaza regime' in coordination with Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terror groups - PFLP, DFLP, Fatah, after "officials from Iran and Hezbollah helped" planning:
- Fires (Oct 7) some 5,000 rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip over towns across Israel, including Jerusalem & Tel Aviv / central Israel, (in an attempt to overwhelm the system, many fired at once), many fell on the towns despite the Iron Dome system - wounding several, (a day later on a hospital in Ashkelon), wounding also in Ashdod, Ashkelon and in the Jerusalem area on Oct 9, murdering two in Eshkol on Oct 10th -
- The infiltration of about 6,000 armed barbarians: 3,800 members of Hamas’s elite Nukhba force, 2,200 Gaza 'civilians,' invade Israeli towns and villages a group via 29 ways, breaching fences in 119 spots, hundreds using paragliders, armed with weapons, roaming on vehicles randomly shooting at people, slaughtering babies in their beds, shooting at the elderly, going from house to house, massacring hundreds;
- At times, entire families slaughtered, such as in Moshav Netiv HaAsara who lost dozens and in Nahal Oz;
- A pensioners' bus was attacked by a van arrived with armed terrorists who opened fire, killing thirteen;
- There were at least 120 murdered in Kibbutz Be'eri, "snatching children out of their beds,"[3] (2, 3 & 5 years old); kidnapping Jews, including women and children - entire families, dragging them (some barefooted) over to Gaza; even the disabled (- such as a Holocaust survivor), many to be lynched [4] and as trophies, a Be'eri resident "85-year-old grandmother.. was filmed being driven into Gaza in a golf cart by laughing militants," a major described when he had to shoot at terrorists - the difficulty to find an angle: "between the bodies of children, to jump over civilians who were handcuffed and shot";
- Captured document "top secret" instructions to target schools, youth centers, take hostages, to kill civilians, "as many as possible";
- In a "captive taking handbook", titled
The Warrior's Guide - Jihad Version", the
"terrorists are advised in detail on how to carry out the kidnapping. According to the description, the kidnappers are required to create chaos and intimidation, coercing and blindfolding captives, using electric shocks, and instructing them to execute any person who may pose a threat or distraction. They were also instructed to collect the captives and use them as human shields, if necessary, without distinction of religion, race, or sex.
According to the barbaric text, similar to the terrorist organization ISIS, the terrorists are required to document their actions by livestreaming and executing hostages";
- The "terrorists came with precise maps, had time for selfies";
- "Hamas came in under the protection of its heavy rocket fire on Israel, by a massive invasion over land, and by air and sea. In order to disrupt the military's observation capabilities, Hamas launched UAVs to destroy communication towers and observation posts along the Gaza border, causing blind spots, while bulldozers broke through the border fence allowing hundreds across in the first wave, sources told the paper. A further 1,800, followed the initial invaders..";
- "Many Ordinary Palestinians Joined in Hamas's Atrocities Against Israel.. 'Just as Cruel as the Terrorists.'" A few terrorists spoke in Farsi;
- Report: Like sadistic Nazis: Secret Hamas papers reveal step-by-step action plan for Oct. 7. Uncovered documents and eyewitness accounts obtained by Israel Hayom and Bild reveal the chilling extent of Hamas' meticulous planning for how to kidnap women and children and brutally take over homes. "The cruelty was supposed to be as graphic as possible because that's how you show your superiority," expert says. The October 7 massacre was not only explicitly directed at Israeli civilians but was deliberately carried out by Gazan civilians who were an inherent part of the grand plan Hamas had devised. According to academic researchers in Germany and Israel, parts of this plan are reminiscent of practices used by the Nazis to exterminate European Jews, such as the use of Einsatzgruppen, the SS "operational units" that advanced in the wake of the German army's invasion of Eastern Europe and participated in the planned and systematic extermination of Jews.
- The terrorists had developed a method, a real technique to increase the dimensions of the massacre.. the terrorists knew that the residents would lock themselves in the safe-room, and those who refused to come out, they simply opened the trunk of his car in the yard, took out the spare tire, lit it on fire and rolled it into the house to hasten its burning. We found bodies of people who died of suffocation in the gas tanks. Others were burned alive and those who tried to escape from the window were shot to death."
- Torching houses and vehicles some with people inside, parading with dead, wounded, hostages;
- A massacre such that of youngsters on a nature party 'Nova' near Kibbutz Re'im -- 364 which "constitutes a third of all those murdered" -- two youngsters who were there, before being kidnapped: "had WhatsApp conversations, sent their location, made it clear that the terrorists were walking around and lynching anyone they found"[5];
- "21 children are now orphans. A 4-year-old girl, whose both parents were murdered, was kidnapped alone to Gaza" by Arab Palestinians.
- In Kfar Aza, they "found babies with their heads cut off, entire families gunned down in their beds..."
- Eyes were gouged out, a woman's breasts cut off and a daughter had her legs severed.'
- From footage shown to journalists: 'Two soldiers without heads. Brutalized young women, one of them naked. Captives in Gaza surrounded by jeering gunmen... Hamas gunmen shooting at civilian cars and at people running across open fields as they flee the site of an open-air music festival. They whoop in triumph over their victims... one man scooping up two young boys, both wearing only underpants, as early morning sirens wailed, warning of incoming rocket fire. They ran out to a nearby bomb shelter. Assailants, lying in ambush, threw a grenade into the shelter, killing the man. The boys ran back to their house, where, distraught, one of them said he could not see anything. As a gunman rummaged in the refrigerator, the other boy cried, “Why am I alive?”.. In other clips, victims are seen gagged and with their hands bound behind their backs. Faces are frozen in shock and agony. Women’s bones are broken, their legs twisted in impossible angles.'
- "Hamas torture confirmed as Israeli forensics institute identifies victims." Among the images from forensics: "were those of charred hands with marks that revealed where the victims’ hands were bound behind their backs with metal wire before being burned alive... a completely charred mass of flesh, which at first glance could not be seen as ever having belonged to a human. It was only after a CT scan was done that experts could see the inhumanity of the image.
Two spinal cords—one belonging to an adult, one to someone young—a parent and child bound together by metal wires in a final embrace before being set alight.
“When you do this job downstairs, you get detached,” Dr. Chen Kugel, the head of Abu Kabir: “But then you learn the stories and connect to the people. It’s hard not to feel the tragedy. It’s so big. And when I go to the Shura camp [where deceased bodies in Israel are first collected] and see containers like you’d see at the port—but they’re all full of bodies… And you hear the stories—that behind their charred bodies, something terrible happened—it’s very difficult. I’ve seen many things in my 31-year career, but the magnitude and the cruelty [here] is terrible... The proportion of bodies we’ve received who are charred is high.. Many have gunshot wounds in their hands, showing they put their hands up to their faces in defense. Many were burned alive in their homes. … We know they were burned alive because there is soot in their trachea, their throats—meaning they were still breathing when set on fire... the age range of the victims spans from 3 months to 80 or 90 years old. Many bodies, including those of babies, are without heads."

From her hiding place behind the trees, she overheard the single final word her friends heard from their murderers. "Enjoy," the Hamas militants said in English, as they laughed, before shooting the three men and one woman at point-blank range, she said.
- Survivor witness: 'He pulled out a knife, stabbed her, continued to rape her a bit more, and then he let her go.'
- One massacre survivor testified that she saw another woman being raped in front of her. "I saw the Palestinians bending her down, raping her and simply passing her on to the next. She was alive when they raped her. She was on her feet and bleeding from her back. He pulled her hair. He shot her in the head while raping her, didn't even lift his pants. They cut her breast and played with it. They just carried around someone's head as if showing strength, walked with it like a bag."
- On a girl victim: "Her skull has been found. This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis."
- A Hamas terrorist, using a murdered female victim's phone, calls his father:
"Father, I killed 10 Jews! Check your WhatsApp! I sent you the photos! Father, I killed 10 Jews! I killed 10 Jews with my bare hands. His voice that is so ecstatic — sounded like he’s out of his mind... He was repeating the same thing over and over again, ‘I killed 10 of them.’ Then he added: 'The blood is still on my hands.' Check your WhatsApp. Father, be proud of me!" His twisted parents praised him.

We found the remains, and didn't understand what they were at first- we thought perhaps there had been an accident. Then we started searching for the missing, and we saw fire. We said 'Wait, maybe there are people in the fire'. There were twelve people burning. I looked up and saw more fires, and realized that we should just follow the fire. We burned our shoes trying to get them all out. We had to hurry because, in just a few hours like that, there would have been no remains left. I have horrific videos of that."

And I can't believe what I'm reading, and I'm texting back, and I'm trying to talk to them, and I'm trying to call them. (They), were actually murdered, as we were talking. And then, her sister is writing to me, "They have been shot. They have been killed." Their 7-years-old daughter is hiding in a closet, right now, texting me that "Mom and dad have been shot." '[6]

The final solution according to Hamas: The terrorists of Hamas and Islamic Jihad made sure to commemorate their entry into the Otef [envelope] kibbutzim, among other things, through inscriptions such as the Al-Qassam Brigades ... But there is another inscription found in some of the houses that specifically commemorates Sayyid Qutb. This commemoration is not accidental and originates from the declared anti-Semitic worldview of Sayyid Qutb as expressed in the main article in his book "Our War at the Jews" which he wrote in the early 1950s. Hamas adopted in its charter classic anti-Semitic motifs such as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Adopting the ideology of Sayyid Qutb in relation to the Jews means an aspiration to destroy them, similar to the Nazis. ... The war between Israel and Hamas is not a national war for the liberation of land but a religious war similar to the religious wars in Europe in the Middle Ages.
A note found [7] near torched vehicles showed Islamic religious text 'inspiring' to the violence. At the Rave Massacre asides from weapons, copies of the Koran were found. Arabic speaking journalist Ohad Hemo: Hamas that I spoke with, they have no problem with half of Gaza to be wiped out.
Hamas had announced that many hostages are being held in tunnels where they store weapons, missiles.

Among the horrific tales:
- a father who tried to shield his two children with his body was "murdered with an ax in front of his children."
- "There have been reports of sexual assault and torture."
- A survivor recalls how some were raped next to dead bodies before being murdered. Raping girls and then parading them as they bleed. Women were raped and dragged through the streets.
- In some places, the butchers sat down eating comfortably while the dead bodies beside them.
- Testimony: 'they raped the girls, then they killed them. Then they switched - did the opposite, first murder then rape them. They always laughed when they did it, I can't forget how they laughed.'[8]
- According to one survivor, “They came to slaughter, to destroy. I know they kidnapped girls. They raped women even after killing them.” Another survivor tells of returning to the site later to look for his friends, and seeing mostly bodies “of young women, lying cold and mutilated.” Another widely-shared video showed a young woman’s nearly naked body, lifeless and mutilated, being paraded through the streets of Gaza in the back of a pickup truck. Palestinian men sat on her, draped their legs over her, pulled at her hair, and spit on her: a broken female body brandished like a trophy.
- Shooting girls in the legs so that they can't run.
- A grandmother burned alive at her home. News reporter: "After my family hid in the bush together for hours, one of the terrorists spotted them and started shooting. My family was massacred."

- Some "simply stood in line and were shot to death in cold blood."
- Former hostage, kidnapped together with her daughter, Natalie: captors were greeted as heroes when she and her daughter arrived at a Gaza hospital. “The minute we came in, all the nurses were standing there and going like this [cheering]. They were all so happy that they came back with prey, with Israeli-Jewish prey."
- Former hostage, Itay Regev, kidnapped from the Nova music festival together with his sister and a friend: Hamas captors as "very, very vicious." They encountered terrorists in a van who "sprayed" the fleeing vehicles with bullets "without any mercy." They were shot in the legs. He underwent the surgery without any form of anesthesia or painkillers. His captors warned that if he was not quiet during the procedure, they would kill him, and slapped him and spat on him during the operation.
His sister had to have her foot reattached as a result of her bullet wounds, but the foot was not reattached correctly and at an odd angle. She now requires extensive rehabilitation.

The Hamas spokesperson, a day and a half after the attack happened, he said, the attack went according to plan, and we are happy with the consequences. So that is what we're looking at."
Anderson Cooper Struggles to Speak After Israeli Woman -
Makes Harrowing Plea For Kidnapped Family
Shockingly: Gazan photographers joined in October 7 lynching, raiding of Israelis - report.
On that day: added separate hostage situations inside Southern Israel unfolded on at least two locations: Kibbutz Be'eri, where one group was neutralized, yet the hostage situation went on for many hours - holding dozens till resolved by killing terrorists and successfully in that case - rescuing the 11 held hostages unharmed, and in Ofakim, in the latter, while 20 terrorists were captured in the police station, 5 Hamas gang/terrorists took over a house and held hostage -- with Kalashnikov and hand grenade -- a couple in their 40s, for 15 hours - till rescued by the IDF's special YAMAM.
"It was a combined ground raid which happened through paragliders, through the sea and through the ground." Hamas' Muhammad Deif called on Israeli Arabs to join in any way, that "this is your chance."
Added to the complexity, the difficulty to recognize a terrorist, as they don't wear uniforms, many wore similar to IDF colors and some even wore IDF uniforms, and who use even their own people as human shields.
The jihadi operation was helped by Iran, over several weeks, and the terrorist were given the green light by the IRGC 5 days prior to the attack.
Kibbutzim where atrocities occurred by "Palestinian" were founded before 1948 and many of its victims believed in a "Two State solution."
Communities attacked believed in coexistence with Arabs.

Note: the Kibbutzim targeted by the Arab "Palestinians" were peace-nicks who advocated for Gazans, two State, and carried Gazans to hospitals in Israel. A peacenick woman who shouted at the attackers, I'm your friend... they shot her.
Sexual crimes en-masse
From the Nov 28.23 meeting on Hamas led attack - the sexual crimes:
"We’ve collected by now 1,500 terrible testimonies that the mind "cannot digest Earlier this week, a special meeting of the Knesset's Committee for the Advancement of Women's Status and Gender Equality dealt with the crimes committed by Hamas against women during the October 7th massacre.
“The investigation includes gathering testimonies from survivors, families of the murdered and kidnapped, security and armed services personnel, ZAKA (The Disaster Bodies Identification national unit), fire fighters, first responders, and paramedics” Harush said. “We are only at the beginning of the investigation, wherein we have already collected more than 1,500 terrible and difficult testimonies, which the mind and the soul are unable to comprehend or digest.”
“The murderous terrorists weren’t satisfied with the murder of innocents, but rather they documented the murder of their victims as they tried to flee, they engaged in the desecration and mutilation of dead bodies, many of which involved the amputation of limbs and the burning of bodies. They worked systematically and with a plan to carry out mass murder. A mass extermination of everyone who crossed their path.”
“The scope of these acts of terror is unfathomable, both in terms of the number of victims and injured, and in terms of the atrocities, the corruption, the evil, and the brutality, all of which is described in detail by witnesses. A survivor of the Nova festival describes in his testimony: ‘It was like an apocalypse of dead bodies, girls without clothes, top halves, bottom halves. People cut in half, people slaughtered, some beheaded. There were girls whose pelvises were broken from the extent of the violent rape; their legs parted into a split.’
“A member of the search and rescue team deployed to the Nova festival describes: ‘There were bodies everywhere, injured. I saw a lot of women victims' bodies that were naked; someone I remember had been shot in her chest.’ A female member of the extraction team recalls: ‘a tent full of bodies, bodies with their hands bound behind their backs. I remember a body of a woman bleeding from her genital area’.
“Another witness described: 'tons of bodies mutilated in the head and neck areas, crushed heads, the body of a woman with her jeans pulled down around her knees. Heads without bodies, mostly men. A body with a knife sticking out of the jaw.’
“‘There were many gunshot injuries, gun fire directed at men’s genitals, bullet wounds in the stomach area, in the limbs, and in the buttocks”, said another witness. ‘They had an obsession with genitals, of both men and women. We saw women whose breasts had been cut off. We saw many men whose genitals had been removed.’
A female survivor of the Nova festival described: ‘It started with a girl with short hair, I didn’t see her during the party. I saw a situation where she was sitting on her knees, begging. A terrorist was standing over her, spitting on her face. He filmed her and then he shot her head. The area where we were hiding – that was where they brought all the women, even decapitated heads of women.”
“There was a situation where they bent someone over and then they raped her and passed her along between themselves. They were dressed as soldiers, I heard yelling in Arabic. The girl they were raping, she was still alive, she was standing on her feet, bleeding from her back.
“There was someone else who I remember that the terrorist pulled her hair. She wasn’t dressed, he cut off one of her breasts, threw it on the ground and started playing with it while still pulling her around. One of them penetrated her and then shot her in the head. He didn’t even look up, he shot her in the head while his pants were still down״.
Additional testimonies from the search and rescue teams refer to a residential home in one of the villages in which the terrorists committed the massacre: ‘In the shower there was the body of a woman, bound. She was naked on her bottom half. Her body was in the corner, hands tied.’
״Another witness recalled: ‘I saw an older woman, naked without underwear.’ Another witness describes: ‘Between the houses we found a body, among the rubble we saw only the head and neck. Her mouth was bound with some kind of fabric, the body was naked.”
“We saw the bodies of women who had been shot, those who had been shot in the center of their faces, and not by chance. We saw those who were shot in sensitive areas of the body. We saw bodies that were bound, bodies missing particular limbs and sexual organs, because they were cut off by the murderers. We saw the blood and the suffering.”
“We saw among these bodies, women and girls. We saw the small body bags containing the bodies of dead children, girls and boys, some brought in as entire families. And we saw the bodies of parents alongside their children, sometimes in an embrace. We couldn’t help but imagine the final moments these families experienced before their murder.
“We saw the young women in their fashionable jeans or in comfortable festival clothes, the girls with tattoos who had gone out to party, we saw bodies with women’s shoes, we saw their long hair covered in blood, the dread locks, the clothing that the victims intended to wear to work, or to celebrate, or just to be with their children.”
“We saw their shiny, sparkly nail polish. We learned that gel polish can withstand massacres. Something that for women was a symbol of hope and self-care has become, to us, a representation of the extinction of their lives and their femininity, and of abuse.
"As police, we are used to collecting witness testimonies, ... witnesses of the atrocities, most of them were murdered as well. Among those who survived, many are children, and we have not yet spoken with them. It is unlikely we will be able to speak with them given the depths of the trauma. We assume that the hostages will also have information pertaining to this. It seems that we still do not know the scope and the depth of the atrocities."
'Hamas raped men as well as women during October 7 attack: Investigators reveal how sex assault victims were tied up, stripped and mutilated as Israel launches its 'biggest ever criminal investigation... One horrifying image he described was the moment a woman's decapitated head rolled across the road, after she was beheaded for refusing to be stripped naked.'
UN testimony Dec/4/23:
Hamas terrorists had 'a thing with sexual organs' and targeted genitalia of Israeli victims.
"This was premeditated. This was planned. This was instructed."
There were "horrific things I saw with my own eyes and I felt with my own hands," said stricken Simcha Greinman, a volunteer who helped collect the remains of the slaughtered victims.
Israel accused the UN during the special session of moving too slowly to address reports that the terror group unleashed sexual violence as a weapon of war in its attack.
Report to UN, Dec/29/24:
Teens made to commit sexual acts on each other; horrors of Hamas captivity in report to UN. Physical abuse, torture, psychological terror, starvation, in Israel's report to the UN; teens beaten in their genitals, suffering burns; hostages witness others being murdered. "Teenagers were forced to commit sexual acts on each other, most women were sexually assaulted": This was described in the harrowing report spread over eight pages, that includes horrific testimony of hostages who were freed from Hamas captivity.
Biting the hand that feeds them
"Kibbutzniks who drove Arabs from Gaza for treatment in hospitals in Israel saw those Gazans participating in the looting of the kibbutzim." "In addition, those Arabs from Gaza passed on information about the moshavs and kibbutzim."
"Israel’s work permits for Gaza, enabled the Hamas attac. Gazans got permits to work inside Israel. They came as killers and rapists."
Hamas destroyed the crossing through which the Gazans made a living.
Pre War
Israel was actually extending a hand to Gaza, thousands came daily to work in Israel, we were giving Gazans the best medical treatment. But at the same time, Hamas were planning this attack.[11]
6 days earlier, on Oct 1, the "Shin Bet and IDF: to continue economic operations for Gaza." The "top brass pushed for an increase in the number of workers from the Gaza Strip."[12]

In our time here, everywhere we've gone, we've met people who've been touched, in one way or another, by Hamas' bloody hand. We encountered a nation knit together by grief but also a nation united in resolve."

Oct.23.23 - B'nai B'rith letter Sent to the Editor: Washington Post misses central point about UNRWA: Far from being an agency acting merely "to protect and support civilians," it is an extremely problematic entity that for 75 years has exacerbated the Palestinian problem and symbolized the failure to solve it... UNRWA is, in fact, an outrageous anomaly (all other refugees in the world are covered by UNHCR—the U.N. refugee agency) that has perpetuated the Arab-Israeli conflict and has thus cost many thousands of lives, including the lives of over 1,300 innocent Israelis massacred on October 7 by Hamas terrorists claiming the phony grievances—of “dispossession”—that are pushed by UNRWA.

"The world is moving quickly from empathy to Israel - to blame": Yonit Levy's interview on CNN (Oct.29.23). "The world has moved on quite quickly from showing very, very brief empathy for what we are still going through to, in many cases, even blaming Israel for what has happened. ..many Israelis feel like their case isn't clear enough, maybe hasn't been clear enough for years. But how do you wage this war against this terror organization, which has been so cynical, that starts by murdering your own children and then hides under their population, not at all caring if they're hurt? So it's a very difficult thing to manipulate and maneuver, I think that Israelis on the one hand do feel like the stopwatch has begun to run its course, Israel always has a short window. But we are also kinda angered by the fact that there is a stopwatch to begin with because they feel like they have been through something that should never happen again."

Islamic Jihad failed rocket hits Gaza hospital al-Ahli, several killed. Naturally guilty Palestinian Hamas regime blamed Israel for their "accident", which triggered protests among the Arab world. It also inflated numbers.
The failed jihadists' missile was one of approximately 450 that land within the Gaza Strip. In fact, "radar detected outgoing rocket fire at the same moment the blast at the Gaza hospital occurred," In addition, Gaza-regime Hamas, often working with Islamic jihadists at rocket launchers had warned, one minute before the hospital explosion on an upcoming missile to reach Haifa, which didn't reach that city at the end, and missiles launched do trigger second explosions. Nevertheless, the Arab world continued to blame Israel, with rioters breaking into the Israeli embassy compound in Jordan, and protests outside Western embassies in other Middle Eastern countries. Hamas/ other Jihadists' mouthpiece Al Jihadzeera incited the Arab world-- with much in the Arab world, embarrased by images of Hamas/PIJ Oct 7 atrocities, trying to believe or at least to say they believe the blaming Israel version -- with the "Palestinian" Rashida Tlaib - silent on Palestinian atrocities against Israeli-civlians suddenly waking up and repeating despicable Hamas' lines, and initially some at MSM blaming the non-jihadi side too.

Isn’t that your claim to fame? Is there a special exemption from fact-checking when it’s the Jewish State involved?... In addition to the aerial footage, there is a recording of Hamas terrorists discussing the hit, describing the shrapnel at the site as "local" and "not Israeli."

Hamas, they say, has spent years building dozens of kilometers of tunnels under the strip where it has amassed stores of virtually everything needed for a drawn-out fight. It is a reality that Israel may soon find itself grappling with if it makes good on its threat to invade Gaza. Hamas has hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel for vehicles and rockets; caches of ammunition, explosives and materials to make more; and stockpiles of food, water and medicine, the officials said. A senior Lebanese official said Hamas, which is estimated to number between 35,000 and 40,000, had enough stocked away to keep fighting for three to four months without resupply... Hamas has grown adept at manufacturing its own weapons in underground bunkers and shielding them from Israel’s advanced surveillance systems, the Lebanese official said."

Following an uproar as some have been pushing (2002) Bin Laden's letter on TikTok, which had also antisemitic trope, focusing on one particular paragraph about "Palestine" and gullible youths (born after 911, or just toddlers at the time) cheering it, the platform took action. The White House spokesman Andrew Bates said of the videos on Nov 16: "There is never a justification for spreading the repugnant, evil, and antisemitic lies that the leader of al Qaeda issued just after committing the worst terrorist attack in American history – highlighting them as his direct motivation for murdering 2,977 innocent Americans."
A survey publicized -- by Bir Zeit University -- conducted between Oct 31 & Nov 7: Arabs in Gaza and Judea & Samaria support to the Oct 7 massacre led by Hamas. More supporters of the massacre in Judea & Samaria than in Gaza. Judea Samaria, the rate of full support is 68% compared to 47% in Gaza (impacted by the consequences).
Netanyahu in a CBS interview elaborated on Hamas human shields usage including at hospitals, on their findings command center beneath Al Shifa hospital. On the messianic mad cult that doesn't give a hoot about their people VS Israel's efforts in avoiding civilian casualties including via text messages to Gazans to evacuate certain areas. Asked anout a "two state,' on the aftermath, he replied about the need of a drastic change, the need of deradicalization of hate and terror among Palestinians.
Replying to the them question about "extremists settlers": Netanyahu: I have condemned it in Hebrew and in English and gere again with you.. Or committing vigilante justice I said that in the Judea Samaria community and by the way they agree with me. 99% of the settlers community in Judea Samaria are law abiding. It's only, a tiny, tiny fraction and some are teenagers who come from ouside the area. But even a tiny fraction is unacceptable. But I wouldn't make a false symmetry. There is no moral equivalence against the hundreds and hundreds of attacks and by Hamas. Even today, in Jerusalem. And, this is a big one. Every violence by extremists we condemn, by anyone. Yet, we are 42 days into the worst killing of Jews since the Holocaust, the horrific raping, the burning of babies, slaughtering children in front of their parents, slaughtering parents in front of their children and Mahmoud Abbas is yet to condemn it. Not only that but officials in his government lauded, lauded this. There is no symmetry betweem Israel and its foes.

Virginia: Photo: Muslim Students Association, replacing the stars on the flag with swastikas and the message “Free Palestine!” in between squiggles for stripes. The image circulated quickly at school, as pro-Palestine students staged a “walkout” on Friday, carrying another sign with swastikas on it and chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a call-to-action that Jewish groups have decried as an anti-semitic war cry to destroy the state of Israel.
Now, Jewish students and parents are shocked to learn that Langley administrators this week suspended not only the Muslim student who drew the swastikas on the U.S. flag but also an Asian American classmate whom school officials accused of leaking the photo to the public. This last suspension (of the leaker) has triggered planned protests, as students worry for safety.

Professors push back against Omer Bartov Nov 10 piece where he cites furious Israeli statements made immediately after Oct. 7:
"But these do not reflect actual Israeli policies toward civilians. Israel’s targets are military: Hamas’s soldiers, tunnels, headquarters and weapons stocks. By placing military targets in and under civilian structures, it is Hamas that violates laws of war.
The 1948 U.N. Genocide Convention mentions demonstrable intent to destroy a national, racial or religious group. Mr. Bartov is mute about Israel’s hundreds of phone calls to Gazans warning them to leave buildings in which Hamas fighters were located. Israel has urged civilians to evacuate to the south to escape battle. A government intent on genocide would do the opposite.
A cease-fire now would leave Hamas’s leadership and its massive tunnel structures intact. Hamas would declare victory and prepare for the next round of killing. Mr. Bartov’s article and the demonstrations around the world accusing Israel of genocide would, intentionally or not, have the effect of consigning Israel to live next to a terrorist state committed to its destruction. No state in the world would accept such a situation.."

On the pictures of infants in incubators all over the world last days, in a post 'Infant photos at Shifa are not believable' noted blogger, writer': 'The caption from Reuters says, "Newborn babies in al-Shifa hospital are swaddled and laid down seven or eight to a bed in a desperate effort to keep them warm and alive."
But if you want to keep the babies warm without an incubator, you would swaddle all of them - not leave some naked. You would cover their heads with the knit caps some of us are familiar with.Or, ideally, you would find people to hold them - preferably their mothers - and give them skin to skin contact to keep them warm.
You don't just lie them on a bed, some of them without clothes, one of them (who does not look premature or sickly at all) with their face pushed up against the sharp corner of a box.
This is not treating premature babies. This is abusing them for a photo-op.

The book, “The Big Lie[sic]: The burning of 6 million Jews in the gas chambers,” [when, in fact, the Nazis systematically murdered 6 million Jews in concentration camps], was located inside Al-Quds University.
“Under Hamas’ rule, school curriculums promote extremist antisemitic practices—calling for genocide against the Jewish people,” the IDF said. “This is another example for Hamas’ true ideology—and another reason for us to dismantle it.”

'The vastness of the tunnel itself, with the Post viewing a variety of sophisticated rooms and the blast door which the IDF displayed earlier this week, was testimony to how important this location was to Hamas.
Among the rooms was a spacious bedroom with two large beds and a large modern air conditioning unit, a kitchenette, a bathroom, and other facilities, as well as extensive plumbing and electrical wiring to enable all of the infrastructure... the Yahalom unit had to survey and inspect a large amount of land and courtyards around and between the Shifa Hospital buildings...
The extensive weapons that IDF Col. Elad Tzuri presented were, he said, just a taste of what Hamas had hidden throughout the Shifa Hospital complex, considering that all the displayed weapons were only found in the last 48 hours. This meant that all of the weapons, military equipment, and intelligence material that the IDF seized and publicized to the world in the early days of the Shifa-Hamas discoveries, including those hidden behind an MRI machine, were located in another area.'

'Hamas tortured children, burned babies'. At the International Court of Justice, Israel responds to South Africa's accusations of so-called-genocide in Gaza, explains Gaza war is direct result of October 7 massacre.
'Israel says found evidence of Hamas military activity in every Gaza hospital. As the session at The Hague restarted Galit Raguan, acting director of the international justice division at Israel’s justice ministry, took the floor. She attributed the high civilian toll in Gaza to Hamas. She stated that more than 23,000 people have died in Israeli attacks since October 7, noting that "Urban warfare will always result in civilian harm." According to Raguan, these deaths, while unfortunate, may be a lawful consequence of targeting military objectives and do not equate to genocide. She further explained that Hamas exacerbates civilian casualties by operating within civilian areas, including schools and hospitals. She further argued that the IDF has so far found evidence of Hamas military activity in every single hospital in the Gaza Strip, and has done so in surgical special forces operations rather than indiscriminately bombing medical facilities as claimed by the Palestinians.'
The Israeli team in The Hague: "Hamas is causing people to die, thousands of missiles fell in Gaza."
Israel presented its claims in the hearing against it at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. A team of lawyers presented the claims of Israel's defense and sought to attack the gaps in the accusations presented by South Africa • Representatives of abducted families are at the hearing, Dr. Becker - "Many of them were tortured, executed. The petitioners presented an extremely distorted legal picture" • Prof. Shaw: Minister Eliyahu? "Not one of the decision-makers", the MKs' statements? "Randomities" • Dr. Gil-ad Noam: "The applicant tried to mislead the court."
For some people the slogan 'never again' is just a slogan, for Israel it is a moral imperative."
"Today, they try to use the term genocide in the context of the conduct of the State of Israel in a war that it did not start, and which it did not want," added Dr. Becker. "A war in which Israel is defending itself from Hamas, from the Islamic Jihad and from terrorist organizations More, whose brutality knows no bounds. As in any war, the suffering of the Palestinians in this war is extremely difficult, it is heartbreaking (...) The petitioners, unfortunately, presented an extremely distorted legal picture. Their whole case depends on some kind of collection of manipulative description of the current actions."
Pro-Palestinian protesters call for intifada outside of The Hague.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre dismissed South Africa's so-called-genocide allegations against Israel, calling them a shameless and dishonest attack on Jewish people and the Jewish state:
"I find it incredible these countries have not accused Hamas of genocide when it's in Hamas's charter that they want to commit genocide against Israel. We don't even need to accuse Hamas because they admit they are a genocidal enterprise. They admit that their October 7 attacks were motivated by genocidal aims.
If we want to go after genocide targeting Muslims, why are they not bringing a case against China for its persecution of the Uyghur Muslims who are in concentration camps in that country? Why are they not going after [Syrian President] Bashar al-Assad, who has been carrying out a genocide against Sunni Muslims in that country?"
Prof. A. Dershowitz:
The International Court Of "Injustice" Begins Its Blood Libel Trial Against Israel.
-What is the International Court of Justice? It is not international, because it excludes judges from certain countries. It is not a real court, because the judges are selected by their countries and many of them simply follow the instructions of those who appointed them. And it has never done justice, because it has long been biased against Israel. It is the United Nations court, and that tells you all you need to know about it.
-The United Nations has become the megaphone of bigotry and anti-Semitism.... Both the United Nations and its court are shams.
-It is the Hamas charter that calls for genocide against the Jews of Israel, and it is South Africa that is harboring Hamas terrorists and defending its murders and rapes. It should be Hamas that is on trial for attempted genocide and South Africa that is on trial for complicity with Hamas. Instead, the nation-state of the Jewish people is being accused of a blood libel, despite going to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties in its legitimate efforts to destroy Hamas.
-The evidence is indisputable that Hamas has committed numerous war crimes.
-Were the International Court of Justice to falsely conclude that Israel was guilty of genocide, it would destroy whatever remaining credibility that court might have. If that were to happen, the United States and some other nations should and probably would leave the court: it would not deserve the legitimacy afforded by membership of any decent country.

The Prime Minister's Office responded Tuesday morning to one of the accusations filed by South Africa (front face for Hamas) stating that Israeli officials supposeedly incite so-called "genocide" by mentioning the biblical Amalek. “Among the absurd accusations hurled at Israel in the Hague was the claim that the October 7th massacre was followed by a statement by Prime Minister Netanyahu inciting genocide by quoting the verse, ‘Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt’ (Deuteronomy 25:17). This accusation is laughably false, and displays deep historical ignorance,” the statement read. The use of his quote from Deuteronomy 25 is absurd; says similar quote appears in Holocaust memorial in the Hague and is not evidence of a call for the annihilation of the Palestinians.

Israeli writer, has been posting online a "Gaza War Diary." A recent installment describes the hardening of Israeli attitudes toward Gazan "civilians," beginning with those who joined Hamas operatives, and took part enthusiastically in the rapes, tortures, mutilations, and beheadings of Israeli men, women, and children on October 7. These "civilians" who entered Israel in the wake of Hamas also managed to kidnap some Israelis, whom they are presumed to be holding inside Gaza, where those kidnapped are likely being used as sex slaves, or simply as slaves, by these "civilians." Freed hostages have testified as to how they were spat on and beaten by these 'ordinary Gazans' when they were first paraded around Gaza by their Hamas captors. And the "civilians" in Gaza have, according to opinion polls, overwhelmingly approved of the atrocities committed on October 7.

Expert: 'The final solution according to Hamas.'
'The terrorists of Hamas and Islamic Jihad made sure to commemorate their entry into the Otef [envelope] kibbutzim, among other things, through inscriptions such as the Al-Qassam Brigades or the Quds. But there is another inscription found in some of the houses that specifically commemorates Sayyid Qutb. This commemoration is not accidental and originates from the declared anti-Semitic worldview of Sayyid Qutb as expressed in the main article in the book "Our War at the Jews" which he wrote in the early 1950s. Hamas adopted in its charter classic anti-Semitic motifs such as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Adopting the ideology of Sayyid Qutb in relation to the Jews means an aspiration to destroy them, similar to the Nazis. The Holocaust is seen as a "punishment" that Allah gave to the Jews due to their [supposed] sins, and now it is the turn of His Muslim servants to continue the destruction of the Jewish people. This is the essence of the concept of Islamic anti-Semitism prevalent among supporters of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and is not related to the establishment of the State of Israel but to a cosmic concept of an eternal struggle between the Jews as representatives of Satan and the Muslims as representatives of divine truth. The war between Israel and Hamas is not a national war for the liberation of land but a religious war similar to the religious wars in Europe in the Middle Ages.'

Ahead of ICJ "decision" on the sham case against Israel: Writer: "The real Genocides the world ignores." Some examples of such depredations: -Darfur, Sudan: In 2007, then-U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell described the situation in Darfur as genocide. The U.N. estimates that by 2016, 300,000 people had been killed and there was credible evidence that the Sudanese government used chemical weapons against the local population. Since Feb. 2023, government-sponsored militias have killed an estimated 400,000 people through starvation and disease. Mass rape has also occurred. More than 2.5 million people have been internally displaced and over 200,000 have fled to Chad. -Rwanda: From April-July 1994, an estimated 800,000 people—one-tenth of the entire population—were killed and much of the remaining population displaced. -Bosnia: In 1992, more than 200,000 Muslim civilians were systematically murdered and two million became refugees at the hands of the Serbs. Rape was a systematic part of these atrocities. -Cambodia: From 1975-1979, 25% of the population died from starvation, overwork and execution under the Khmer Rouge. -East Timor: During a 24-year occupation by Indonesia that ended in 1999, more than 20% of the population was massacred and 80% of structures in the country were incinerated. -Guatemala: From 1978-1983, government forces carried out massacres and civilian executions of an estimated 200,000 people. There were at least 40,000 “disappearances.” The Maya population constituted 83% of the identified victims. The event is known as the Maya Genocide. -Armenia: From 1915-1916, between 664,000 and 1.2 million Armenians were killed by Turkey, either in mass executions and individual killings or from the brutality and deprivation of forced deportations. -Add to that the horrific death counts that may or may not meet the precise definition of genocide. Approximately 500,000 Syrians, mostly Sunni Muslims, have been killed by dictator Bashar Assad’s regime, including through the use of chemical weapons. More than 11 million Syrians have become either internal or external refugees. -Nearly 400,000 have been killed in Yemen. -The International Rescue Committee estimates that 5.4 million Congolese have been killed in a war that continues today, with Christians being disproportionately targeted. -As of 2023, 187,000-210,000 are estimated to have been killed in Iraq and 236,000 in Afghanistan. -China gets special mention... Since 2017, between 800,000-2,000,000 million Uyghurs have been held in Xinjiang’s concentration prisons, commonly referred to as “reeducation camps.”

U.S. halts UNRWA funding over staffers’ involvement with Oct. 7 terror attacks
Following the vague ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for Israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the Genocide Convention and to ensure its troops commit no genocidal acts in Gaza," the U.S. has stated that genocide allegations against Israel are "unfounded."
And Israel's DM Y. Gallant: "The State of Israel does not need to be lectured on morality in order to distinguish between terrorists and the civilian population in Gaza. The International Court of Justice in The Hague went above and beyond, when it granted South Africa’s antisemitic request to discuss the claim of genocide in Gaza, and now refuses to reject the petition outright. Those who seek justice, will not find it on the leather chairs of the court chambers in The Hague – they will find it in the Hamas tunnels in Gaza, where 136 hostages are held, and where those who murdered our children are hiding. Those who seek justice, will not find it in the operational plans found in the pockets of Nukhba terrorists, who were instructed to ‘drink the blood of the Jews’. They will find it in the ‘Spirit of The IDF,’ a document that outlines the values and conduct of our moral and professional soldiers. The State of Israel will never forget October 7th. The IDF and security agencies will continue operating to dismantle the military and governing capabilities of the Hamas terrorist organization, and to return the hostages to their homes. I have full confidence in the commanders and soldiers of the IDF and the forces serving in our security agencies."
Legal expert - analysis: Israel survived the display of hypocrisy at the International Court of Justice. SA has failed to implement the objective of its appeal to the ICJ, making the court order Israel to carry out interim decisions in Gaza it does as part of routine.
WaPo's associated editor (who is rather anti-Netanyahu): 'Why justice wasn't done at the Internatioal Court of Justice. A top U.N. court's ruling on Israel and Gaza is a perversion of justice.... This is a gross misreading of genocide; indeed, it is a perversion of the term. It would be appalling applied against any state, but it is especially offensive wielded against Israel — a country that was forged in the ashes of the worst genocide in human history, that was one of the early signatories to the genocide convention and that is now responding to the greatest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.
If there is a party guilty of genocidal intent and acts in this war, it is Hamas — although, because it is not a state, the terrorist group cannot be brought before the ICJ. Hamas speaks in its founding charter of "the Jews' usurpation" of the land and "our struggle against the Jews.” It proclaims that "the day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them."
Hamas is committed to the destruction of Israel and would repeat the atrocities of Oct. 7 if permitted. "Israel is a country that has no place on our land," senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamid told a Lebanese TV station after the attack. "We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again. The Al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth." Who has genocidal intent here?'

Writer / law professor: 'Israel can limit the ICJ’s potential damage. Israel must immediately end its acceptance of the ICJ's jurisdiction with respect to the Genocide Convention.
Israelis on Friday displayed what is called Jewish joy—they celebrated that the pogromniks only broke the windows, but did not kill anyone. The good news was the International Court of Justice did not effectively order us to wait to be tortured and murdered, by demanding a halt to the Gaza War. That is certainly good—but only in the twisted world where the ICJ is putting Israel, not Hamas, on trial for the absolutely absurd charge of genocide.
Otherwise, the decision was horrible...'
“That’s Jewish joy—they defamed us, treated us like no other democracy, undermined our right to self-defense, put the victim on trial—but it could have been worse!” All true, and an order to halt the war while Hamas holds territory and 136 hostages would have put Israel in a tight spot... Israel did not have to agree to the ICJ jurisdiction to be a member of the Genocide Convention, and in retrospect, doing so was a major mistake. Countries are allowed to opt out of ICJ jurisdiction in various treaties, and very commonly do so. Indeed, sixteen countries have opted out of the Genocide Convention minus the ICJ jurisdiction – including the world's largest democracies, the United States and India. Even the world's biggest superpowers did not trust the ICJ to hear cases involving the use of force in an apolitical way.'
WSJ Editorial: 'The U.N.’s War on Israel.'
'What a day for the United Nations. Its International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a preliminary ruling Friday in South Africa’s case against Israel that managed to be both outrageous and meaningless. At the same time, its special forever-refugee agency for the Palestinians, Unrwa, had to fire staff accused of involvement in Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre. Our global moral beacon in action.
The ICJ tribunal indulged South Africa’s genocide libel by going ahead with a trial and trashing Israel for self-defense against Hamas. But the justices rejected Pretoria’s request to order Israel to stop the war. The court instead instructed Israel to prevent acts of genocide, punish incitement and facilitate aid to civilians—which Jerusalem is already doing. Israel will have to report back in a month, and the court could take years to decide on the merits.'

We're talking about a 50% decrease this year in that violence, and to begin with, it's not big numbers, we're taking care of it.

Australia Jewish Association, activists on the Oct 9 "palestine" mob rally: 'We know what we heard’ ["gas the Jews"].
“The police did not say that it didn’t happen, they said that [with] the evidence that they had, they couldn’t confirm that the phrase ‘gas the Jews’ was used.
“The police statement does not make the event that occurred on that evening any better,” he said.
Also: “numerous eyewitnesses heard the crowd chant ‘gas the Jews'” and signed statutory declarations to that effect, but said it understood and respected the difficult position police forces across the nation are finding themselves in on a daily basis.
And, “The crowd at the Sydney Opera House were revelling in the massacre of Hamas on October 7, and spewing revolting antisemitism. This vile rally was purposefully designed to prevent the Sydney Jewish community from gathering in mourning and solidarity.”

“Based on the police advice to the Jewish community to stay away from the CBD, we can only imagine what would have happened if they had found ‘the Jews’.”

The pamphlets say: “Hamas destroyed everything that was good, beat you and tortured you, abandoned your families in the streets and are hiding in tunnels. Are you silent? Your future is in your hands!” And every day new videos emerge, filmed by Palestinians of open protests against Hamas in Gaza and also of the arrest of protesters by armed Hamas men. In none of the videos are any armed protesters seen: only the Hamas executioners. On the right page, in the photo, you can see the slogan “NEWGAZA24” and below a telephone number to contact the IDF.
Article: '10 myths about UNRWA you may have mistakenly believed.' Myth 1: UNRWA is a UN organization. Well, technically it is, but in fact, UNRWA is a Palestinian outfit with Palestinian employees and Palestinian objectives. Of its 13,000 employees in Gaza, 99% are Palestinian, alongside a tiny number of international employees who cover for Palestinian corruption and Islamic radicalism. It is a Palestinian boondoggle. Since most Palestinians in Gaza support Hamas, it stands to reason that many if not the majority of UNRWA employees are Hamas supporters too. According to Israeli intelligence, a full 10% of UNRWA Gaza staff are identifiable Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad activists; hundreds of others openly celebrated the October 7 rapes and murders; and 190 UNRWA employees are “hardened militants” – fighters and killers with unmistakable terrorist records. This is far more than "a few bad apples in the basket," as some champions for UNRWA said this week. Myth 2: UNRWA is a relief organization for Palestinians... Myth 3: UNRWA is a neutral organization... Myth 4: UNRWA is a moderating and calming force... Myth 5: Palestinians in Gaza truly need global funding for their most basic needs...Hamas government in Gaza appears to be perfectly capable of undertaking big, sophisticated, and expensive projects ranging from underground tunnel and bunker networks that rival London’s underground system, to industrial weapons factories built to the best engineering standards, to well-organized commando units with top-notch intelligence capabilities and crafty attack planning skills.... Myth 6: Palestinians in Gaza need UNRWA to keep them alive... Myth 7: Without an immediate restoration of full UNRWA funding, Palestinians in Gaza will starve... Myth 8: UNRWA is the most efficient way to deliver assistance to Palestinians... Myth 9: UNRWA can be fixed... Myth 10: Wartime is not the right time to shutter UNRWA...

Accordingly, the fellow student recognized Shapira in a bar and followed him when she and Shapira left the bar. On the street, the later attacker asked Shapira about his commitment to Jewish students at the university and then struck.
Behind the false campaign on [exaggerating] "settler violence."
On Saturday, left-wing organizations reported that armed settlers stole a herd of goats from local Bedouins. Only on Saturday night, was the full story revealed. In truth it was actually the Bedouin who stole the goats and a Jewish farmer who called the IDF and Israeli Police to chase after them to get his goats back.
Recently Channel 12 journalist exposed the falsehoods in the UN data on "settler violence.” Notably the list is compiled jointly by the UN and the European Union with the support of Israeli and foreign leftist organizations. He highlighted that many of the incidents listed as "settler violence" are actually terror attacks carried out by Arabs. Others involve cases where the IDF opened fire at rioting Arabs, and 30% of the incidents actually occurred in Jerusalem, and contained no violence. In many cases, the incident report merely describes visits by Jews and tourists to the Temple Mount, which is somehow classified as ‘settler violence.’
In one instance, the group traveled to Shechem to supposedly clean the graves of Palestinian “martyrs." They posted a picture of a grave that they claimed belonged to a “Palestinian child killed by the IDF.” A quick Google search with the child’s name revealed that he was actually killed in an internal dispute between crime families in Shechem. The Palestinian Authority even arrested several suspects in his murder, yet in the end released them.

He was in charge of education in Gaza and would distribute them in day care to two-year-olds, where they would hold a competition over who would kill more Jews.

Details about what the IDF found in UNRWA's central headquarters in Gaza.
UNRWA offices served Hamas terrorists for terror activities. Beneath the refugee agency's office was a tunnel which shared electric infrastructure with Hamas.
Following intelligence, the forces arrived at a tunnel shaft near an UNRWA school. The shaft led to an underground terror tunnel that served as a significant asset of Hamas' military intelligence and passed under the building that serves as UNRWA's main headquarters in the Gaza Strip.
The tunnel was 700 meters long and 18 meters deep and contained several blast doors. A wide variety of intelligence assets were seized. Forces located electrical infrastructure inside the tunnel connected to UNRWA's main headquarters, under which the underground tunnel was located, indicating that UNRWA's facilities supplied the tunnel with electricity.
Large quantities of weapons were found inside the rooms of the building, including rifles, ammunition, grenades and explosives. Intelligence and documents discovered in the offices of UNRWA officials confirmed that the offices had in fact also been used by Hamas terrorists.

“If American democracy depends on our current president being reelected, then why is being bedfellows with the terrorist Netanyahu, worth sacrificing American democracy?” Hammoud was quoted by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a Washington-based think tank, and after a senior figure from the think tank published a Wall Street Journal op-ed dubbing Dearborn America’s “jihad capital,” which led the mayor to beef up security in the Michigan city, and elicited condemnation from President Biden.

Exposing the lie by Washington Post's Feb 9 piece on profiling seven journalists killed in Gaza, was dissected by activist in a post: "The deliberate lies in the Washington Post."
Research suggests it was a deliberate attempt to deceive.
The WP article "does not mention that many (50%) of the journalists work for Hamas / Islamic Jihad; does not mention that 75%+ of the journalists openly supported the slaughter of Israeli civilians; does not mention that many of the journalists (20%+) were not journalists at all.
And yet this must have been known (or heavily suspected) by whoever did the Washington Post research.
An email was sent to the three journalists of the article (Ellen Francis, Artur Galocha and Joe Snell) attached to the report, adding: "Did the CPJ do all the legwork here – did you basically just run an advert for them.
How did you fail to see that many of the journalists either work for terrorist organisations or support the slaughter of civilians. Given you must have seen the to research the article, how on earth have you ended up suggesting 80+ journalists have been killed? I received no response at all to the questions. The Washinton Post motto reads ‘democracy dies in darkness’. They are right, democracy does die in darkness – and they are some of those helping to kill it."

Historian & Broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo in an interview:
'Anyone who believes the root of Palestinian hatred for Jews is the 1948 creation of Israel is ignorant in the extreme.
Palestinian pogroms against Jews long predate 1948.
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem met with Hitler & helped set up a Muslim Nazi SS unit to kill Jews in the Balkans.
Hamas & the PLO were born out of the Muslim Brotherhood, a vile organisation founded in 1928. Its leaders were (and are) Nazi sympathisers directly inspired by Hitler
The founder, Hassan al-Banna, translated Hitler’s autobiographical manifesto MEIN KAMPF into Arabic, calling it “MY JIHAD”
In the 1930s the Muslim Brotherhood sent delegations to Hitler’s Nuremberg rallies and they distributed anti-Semitic material such as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
During WWII they supported Nazi Germany and organised mass protests and pogroms against Jews in Palestine. Their goal was to eradicate Jews from the Middle East.
For many Muslims hatred of Jews is motivated by RELIGION far more than POLITICS (which is why the Muslim world is silent when Muslim states kill Muslims -- e.g. Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia in Yemen -- but irate when Israel does).
The true roots are to be found in the Koran, which encourages hatred of Jews and the killing of the infidel.
This is why we saw a young Hamas terrorist proudly phoning his father on 7 October to boast of how many Jews he had just killed. For many, it is a badge of honour.
This hatred of Jews is NOT confined to Hamas and is not confined to Gaza. It is a sickness that infects much of the Muslim world...and thanks to mass immigration it now infects Britain, too.'

Author: 'the new Nazis.' What distinguishes the Palestinians from Hamas, and sometimes also from the Palestinian Authority, and the original Nazis? The German Nazis succeeded in carrying out their "Final Solution".
No need to apologize: 'The PalestiNazis,' if we are to put this in a nutshell, aspire to complete what the Nazis failed to do – the destruction of the Jewish people. The time has come for us to finally take them seriously and simply believe them, that they fully intend to do what they say. As now, it is not only their words that speak for themselves, but their actions too.
From a Book review of bigoted Gilbert Achcar's 2023 book: 'It turns out that Dara Horn was overly generous in her concession that ‘People Love Dead Jews.’ The massacre, rape and kidnapping of Israelis—Jews, Arabs, Druze, Asian guest workers—has been lauded, nay touted, on the campuses and streets of every Western city as what Gilbert Achcar in his little book praises as a righteous ‘counter-offensive’ in response to a ‘protracted Nakba of territorial dispossession, ethnic cleansing and apartheid.’
Achcar, a Lebanese Arab militant of the Trotskyoid Left and professor at the SOAS is pitching his appeal to the true believers and the wilfully credulous. It’s less an analysis than a Third-Worldist catechism. No lazy cliché is left unused: genocide, settler-colonialism, apartheid, war crimes, open-air prisons, the emblematic rebellion of the Global South. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, he writes, was ‘seized’ upon by an ever-eager Israel as a pretext to launch its ‘murderous onslaught.’ And, no equivocating condemnation of ‘disproportionality’ will do for Achcar, as this might concede some begrudging level of legitimacy to a different military Israeli response. Achcar diets on raw meat. For it’s not how Israel responds that Achcar objects to, but that Israel responds at all. Hamas’s noble crusade is, after all, nothing less, in Achcar’s perfervid imagination, than the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Revolt redux, so no justification for its suppression is morally conceivable...'

On the stampede tragedy, the so-called "BBC Verify" (Mar 1) relies on one person- one key eyewitness – a Palestinian journalist Mahmoud Awadeya who actually works for Quds Today as well as Tasnim - Iranian news agency set up and controlled by the IRGC. Then quotes a hospital employee. But "Verify" don’t actually verify anything. They just take these people at their word and publish these statements without question.
Awadeya 'liked' post Hamas honouring the IRGC commander Qasem Soleimani, and on 27 January 2023, as seven Israelis lay dead following a terror attack outside of a synagogue – Awadeyah posted pro terror, in sumner 2023 celebrated the murder of 82-year-old Inga Avramyan by an Islamic Jihad rocket. Plus a series of more pro terror posting. Research has shown that 50% of the journos in Gaza appear to work directly for Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
On another program BBC broadcast on 27 February, how Gazans ‘share their daily lives’ had interviewed a Haya Hijazi as if she is a "random average" Palestinian in a tent, but she is actually a social media propagandist with a 576k following. And just before she told BBC she needed to ‘search for water’, she was busy filming herself handing out cash.
Then came this one – a ‘journalist’ called Aseel Mousa, who actually propagates Intifada, openly saluted Oct 7 on her X account, and rejoiced on January 27 2023 at 19:07 – as seven Israelis were slaughtered in a terrorist attack.

But the report also concludes this, that there are, quote, reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing to those hostages in Gaza right now. Israel certainly believes that to be the case, and Israeli officials believe that that maybe one of the reasons why Hamas is resisting releasing some of the hostages.

So, I would urge President Biden to hold the great Satan, Iran, accountable for killing soldiers in Jordan and attacking shipping. So, yeah, I think he's got it backwards. We should be all-in in helping Israel. We should try to help the humanitarian crisis. But don't say or do anything that would empower our enemy."

NYT columnist David Brooks on Schumer's speech: 'For Chuck Schumer, it's pretty big. He's been very pro-Israel. And so I do think it's a big shift.
I agree with everything he said about Bibi Netanyahu. I still think he shouldn't have said it. He shouldn't certainly have said it that way. A, it's just not becoming to try to interfere in another democracy's electoral process, especially if you're a major figure in the American election.
Second, I worry about how it's being received by Hamas. So Hamas' strategy is to get as many Palestinians killed as possible and hoping that the ensuing outrage is going to cause the international community to crack down on Israel and Israel will have to relent.
And they see Chuck Schumer doing that, and they think, which they already think, which is they're winning. And, frankly, when they see what President Biden told to Jonathan about the red line, it was a little fuzzy the way he said it. Was he against a Rafah invasion, or only if the Israelis don't really improve their humanitarian record?
But if he's against the — Rafah — any kind of incursion into Rafah, as Benny Gantz, the defense secretary of Israel, said, when you're fighting a fire, you can't only fight 80 percent of the fire. And the hostages and a significant chunk of Hamas forces are in Rafah. And if you let them win, if you let them stay there, there will never be a two-state solution, because there will never be a two-state solution as long as Hamas is in power.
And so I mostly worry about the dynamic on the spiritual battlefield, where Hamas suddenly feels emboldened.'

Salam, the letter notes, was Lebanon’s ambassador to the United Nations for a decade, during which time he voted against Israel on numerous issues and posted statements criticizing Israel. It also notes that he finished second in Lebanon’s prime ministership elections in 2019 and 2022, while he was on the court, which the letter describes as another breach of ICJ rules, although it acknowledges he was never a formally declared candidate.
The lawmakers said Salam is violating the charter by refusing to recuse himself from the Israel-related cases. They said his continued participation in ICJ rulings on Israel “underscor[es] the need for further action to secure Judge Salam’s recusal in compliance with the ICJ charter.”

Their notion of time is different, and the price in blood they are ready to pay in order to achieve their goal is different. Because each person who dies is a shahid [martyr]. It's warfare in the name of Allah.

Israeli retaliation? US official: Israel struck targets in Iran. Iran suspends flights at the airports in Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz. Revolutionary Guards on high alert. Israel not commenting on the reports.
Re symbolic attack on Iran: First of all, Iran's strike was much more massive - and much less successful. Israel is sending a message that it can hit Iran much more easily than Iran can hit Israel.
Secondly, the choice of an airbase in Isfahan is significant, since Iran has nuclear facilities in Isfahan. Israel is telling Iran that it could have done a lot more if it wanted.
Thirdly, it is Iran's Supreme Leader's 85th birthday today. Israel was sending an unmistakable "present" not only where but also exactly when it wants to.
Fourthly, Israel's response was a surprise, unlike Iran's which was telegraphed for days - if not carrier-pigeoned.
Fifthly, Israel made it clear to the world that it would not succumb to massive Western pressure notto respond.
Sixthly, Israel sent a message that it was not isolated - it has powerful friends to help it defend itself. Iran has no one.
Finally, Iran had promised it would respond to the tiniest attack "within seconds" at an "immediate and maximum level." Iran has lost credibility, both to its people and to the Arab world altogether that it wants so badly to lead.
Analysis: The limited nature of Israel's retaliation and Iran's muted response suggests both sides may be looking to step back from the brink of all-out conflict. But this attack is also a clear sign that the strategic landscape of the Middle East is shifting rapidly, and Israel has a unique window of opportunity to press its advantage. For years, Iran has sought to establish a "ring of fire" around Israel, arming Hezbollah in Lebanon, Shia militias in Syria and Iraq, and the Houthis in Yemen. The goal was to create a multi-front threat that would make Israel think twice about striking Iran's nuclear facilities. But despite Iran's massive investment in this proxy network, Israel's missile defenses, with the help of its Western and Arab partners, were able to intercept the overwhelming majority of the over 300 Iranian drones and ballistic missiles.

"At Columbia I Am Told: 'Go Back to Poland.'"Jewish student describes ordeal:
'On Saturday night, April 20, I was assaulted and harassed repeatedly inside the gates of Columbia University.
For five days now, protesters have been camped out on Columbia’s South Lawn demanding financial divestment from Israel, an academic boycott of Israel, a call for cease-fire, and an end to Columbia’s real estate purchases. Their newest demand is to defund Columbia’s public safety, the only people on campus supposedly tasked with keeping us safe.
On Saturday night, the situation on campus hit a new low. Amid multiple protests both inside and outside of Columbia’s gates, my friends and I decided to show our pride yet again, as we have on so many occasions since Hamas began its war.
For an hour, 20 of us stood on the sundial in the middle of Columbia’s campus with Israeli and American flags and sang peaceful songs such as Matisyahu’s “One Day” and “V’hi She’amda”—a much-needed ode to the hope and perseverance of the Jewish people in the face of enemies who seek our destruction.
Even as we sang lyrics such as “We don’t want to fight no more, there will be no more war,” we were met with hostility. Masked keffiyeh-wearers came to us face-to-face, trying to intimidate us. They chanted, “Fuck Israel, Israel’s a bi_tch!” We were told, “You guys are all inbred.” They threw water in our faces. These groups are not fairly described as “pro-Palestine.” They are active supporters of Hamas and they say so explicitly: “We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground,” one group chanted by the gates of my school. “Hamas, we love you. We support your rockets, too.”
One keffiyeh-masked protester came up to my friends and I and held up a sign with an arrow pointing toward us that read: “Al-Qassam’s Next Targets.” Al-Qassam is the military wing of Hamas.
Just after midnight, the protesters began chasing us toward the campus gates. We felt we had to leave for our own safety. In order to exit campus, we had to use the gates on the corner of Amsterdam Avenue and 116th street—-all other entrances and exits were closed and locked.
As it so happened, Within Our Lifetime—a group openly committed to the destruction of Israel—was leading a mass protest blocking the gate. On our way out, a keffiyeh-wearing protester began berating my brother and me. A few seconds later, a different protester wearing a keffiyeh came up behind me and grabbed two of my Israeli flags. I chased him toward the gate to get them back. He brought them back to a mob of people still inside the gates of Columbia and who also wore keffiyehs as masks. Unwilling to let them destroy my property, I made my way to the center to get my flags and found them attempting to light one of them on fire. I reached down and pulled the flag away from the fire. As all of this was happening, members of the mob pushed and shoved me.
At least two solid objects were thrown at me from close range, one of which hit me directly in the face and the other in the chest. Finally, I succeeded in grabbing my flags and ran to rejoin my friends. We ended up being chased out of campus and told to “go back to Poland,” a poignant reminder that even in America, antisemites wish to condemn Jews like me to our ancestors’ tragic fate.
Those were not the only things that were chanted over the past 48 hours at my school.
Students walking by the main library, Butler, might have heard “From the river to the sea, Palestine is Arab!” or “There is no god but Allah, and the martyr is Allah’s beloved!” Anyone walking near the gates on Broadway and 116th probably heard them yelling, “Al-Qassam make us proud, kill another soldier now!” Ironically, the students who have taken over our south lawn are describing Columbia as a “Zionist stronghold.”'
Article: 'How Hamas supporters are influencing Wikipedia.'
Since 7/10 there have been cadres of ultra-pro-Palestine editors on Wikipedia who have been singularly focused on painting Israel as the evil aggressor. Certain prominent editors with more than 100,000 edits to Wikipedia openly support Hamas.
Euro-Med Monitor's disinformation campaign. These pro-Palestine Wikipedia editors know that if they go too far towards the pro-Palestine side in one instance, then there may be sanctions against them. Instead, what they do is they delegitimize reliable sources and promote pro-Palestine opinion sources. For example, in the page for the Israel-Hamas war, they cite the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor (Euro-Med) to falsely claim that 90% of casualties were civilians. On the surface, the Euro-Med Monitor looks like a generic human rights organization however, the Euro-Med Monitor has actually been a significant source of pro-Hamas propaganda on social media. In fact, it is owned by a man named Ramy Abdu, who is a literal Hamas lobbyist. His Wikipedia page seems awfully one-sided. Why is that? Well, a prominent contributor to both his article and the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor article is Wikipedia user Anassjerjawi. Guess who is also named Anass Jerjawi? The Chief Operating Officer of Euro-Med. Other prominent contributors to Euro-Med's Wikipedia page are Maha Hussaini and Nesma Jaber, both contributors at the Qatari-funded Middle East Eye newspaper. There are also 8 other unknown Wikipedia editors who have edited Euro-Med's page with pro-Palestine edits, some of whom have edited other pro-Palestine and human rights-related Wikipedia articles. Why is this so pervasive? The answer is that Euro-Med actually has a program in which they get 40 Palestinian university students to edit English and Italian Wikipedia every year...'

Network Behind Eruption of Anti-Israel College Campus Protests Revealed in New Report: In the wake of the Hamas terror group’s Oct. 7 invasion of southern Israel, the “exponential rise in antisemitic violence, incitement, intimidation, and harassment on and around campuses in the United States is not the product of spontaneous protests of individuals. Rather, they are tightly coordinated and well-funded by a network of radical and often antisemitic nongovernmental organizations,” stated the report by NGO Monitor. “Under the guise of human rights and justice, these NGOs work to undermine the economic, military, and other ties between the US and Israel, and to besiege and divide the US Jewish community.” All of the groups in question supported and justified the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7 and that many are linked to designated Palestinian terror organizations. “A common feature of all these NGOs is non-transparent funding and structure,” added the report, which was released amid an explosion of anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses amid surging antisemitism since Oct. 7.

BBC (fake) News – written by terrorists – the proof.
An example shows without doubt that the BBC puts out blatant fake news reports, and it also proves that the sources they rely upon for news include Al Jazeera, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad! Hamas propaganda – the mass graves of Nasser Hospital.
But it's really an institutional problem.
Abd three additional BBC incidents occurred that can be used to show that the problem with the BBC appears unsalvageable.
One: On the 29 April the BBC ran a story by Adnan El-Bursh, the Gazan based BBC Arabic correspondent. In it El-Bursh describes his life in Gaza during the war. But the article also highlights the deep friendship between El-Bursh and Wael Al-Dahdouh – the man who runs the Al Jazeera office in Gaza. Al-Dahdouh spent seven years in an Israeli jail for throwing Molotov cocktails. Apparently he was affiliated with Islamic Jihad at the time. His brother, his son, over a dozen of his cousins, his nephews and his brother-in-law were all Islamic Jihad terrorists. His family is considered Islamic Jihad royalty. This is a man a BBC correspondent should whitewash, admire and respect?
Two: On May 1, another BBC Arabic journalist, Lebanon-based Rami Ruhayem, sent an email to BBC executives which downplayed the October 7 atrocities and incredibly suggested BBC material is biased towards Israel. And here is the truth. The BBC attempts balance between terrorist supporters and Israel supporters, between the terrorists and the democracy. In doing this it falls into a rabbit hole it cannot escape from. Not only is much of the material the BBC rely on anti-Israel junk, but it will never been enough for those who support the terrorists.
Three: On May 5, the BBC published an article about the student protest at Newcastle University. The article whitewashed the event – making it seem peaceful and benign. One of the leaders of the protest publicly celebrated October 7. The BBC journalist did no research and clearly just wanted to paint the protestors in a positive light. It is impossible to imagine the BBC writing about far right protestors in such a fashion regardless of the physically passive nature of the protest.

We never target civilians. In fact, we have the lowest ratio of collateral damage in the history of urban warfare." Israel is “bending over backward in order to prevent unnecessary deaths,” he says. "Otherwise we’d get this whole thing done within three days if we didn’t care about it."

They just say that the humanitarian crisis is Israel's fault, without elaborating on their refusal to open Rafah or to send aid trucks to Kerem Shalom.

'The ICC’s threat of arrest warrants against Israel’s leaders is an affront to democracy and humanity.
So it’s a crime now to defend yourself against fascist violence? Some of the imperious prosecutors of the International Criminal Court (ICC) seem to think so. Just 226 days after the Jews of southern Israel were subjected to the worst act of anti-Semitic slaughter since the Holocaust, the chief prosecutor of the ICC says he’s seeking arrest warrants for Israeli officials. The preening overlord of international law says he has ‘reasonable grounds’ to believe they’ve committed crimes against humanity. Behold the great moral inversion of our times: the victims of a crime against humanity are themselves suspected of crimes against humanity. The targets of fascism are treated as fascists. Rarely has the moral decomposition and blind arrogance of globalist institutions been so graphically illustrated.'

Seven Tactics Wikipedia Editors Used to Spread Anti-Israel Bias Since Oct. 7.
Examining Wikipedia content and how the site operates matters — it is the world’s go-to site for information:
1. Part of the “Background” section of the “Israel-Hamas war” Wikipedia article states: “Numerous commentators have identified the broader context of Israeli occupation as a cause of the war.” These “commentators” are mostly anti-Israel figures, in my opinion.
2. Adding “anti-imperialism” into Hamas’ list of ideologies and removing “antisemitism” in the Hamas Wikipedia article’s infobox.
3. Treating the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers as being reliable.
4. Considering Mondoweiss, an anti-Zionist site, a “marginally reliable” source.
5. The Wikipedia article on the UCLA pro-Hamas encampment states that Jessica Seinfeld and Bill Ackman donated to pro-Israel counterprotesters involved in the violence on the night of April 30-May 1. Their denials are not included in the article.
6. Excluding the Oct. 7 massacre from the “List of Islamist terrorist attacks” Wikipedia article because it’s “original research.”
7. On Wikipedia’s main page on May 7, the “Did you know” section stated that “Walid Daqqa wrote several works of prison literature, including a children’s novel about a boy who uses magical olive oil to visit his imprisoned father.” Daqqa’s conviction for commanding a terror cell that brutally murdered an Israeli soldier is not mentioned.

The principal judicial arm of the United Nations in The Hague, the International Court of Justice, “has shown its hate, bias and its predilection for antisemitism” in its Friday ruling that Israel must stop its military campaign against the Hamas terror group in Rafah.
Expert Analysis (on UN's ICJ ruling): “This is another day of shame for the ICJ in its discriminatory treatment of Israel. Let’s not forget that this case was brought by South Africa — a country disgraced by a leadership that actively supports Hamas and that tars Israel with the defamatory accusation of ‘genocide.’ Israel, which has undertaken a major effort to move more than a million civilians out of Rafah to safety in advance of its operation to defeat Hamas in that city, will rightly disdain this ruling.”
Nawaf Salam ridiculed (including by former and current ambassadors to UN). Recalling his longtime Israel bashibg representing his Arab Republic of Lebanon: "Now he has a rope and talks high."
Noted on Israel's main channel: "Sits there a Lebanese and basically incites the entire world against Israel."
Israeli, international figures react to ‘antisemitic’ [UN's] ICJ ruling. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, fellow members of Knesset, and Jewish organizations around the world expressed their shock and disappointment following the ICJ's ruling on Friday, demanding the IDF halt all operations in Rafah. Strategic affairs Minister, Ron Dermer, said, "That Jews are treated differently is not a new story but a more than 2,000 year old story that is based on ancient hatred. Every year, the Human Rights Council passes more resolutions against Israel than all the other countries in the world combined." "What the ICJ prosecutor has done will fuel the fires of antisemitism, which is raging across the world, because people will assume the charges carry weight. But the charges are totally false and the prosecutor didn’t even bother to learn the facts," Dermer stated. Dr. Charles Asher Small, Executive Director of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), issued the following statement in response to the ICJ ruling: "The ICJ's ruling is a stark reminder of how South Africa, which has become a hub for extremist activities across the African continent, continues to embrace antisemitic ideologies and support state-sponsored terror." Small continued to say, "Maintaining close ties with and acting on behalf of Iran, Qatar and Hamas, South Africa has become a leading voice for terror. By bringing this case against Israel and in favour of Hamas, South Africa further positions itself as a bad actor on the global stage. The time has come for the international community to recognize and address South Africa's alarming connections with terror-supporting states and entities." Former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy wrote on X, formerly Twitter, "Hamas is holding 125 hostages, presumably many in Rafah. The ICJ has just told Israel it’s not allowed to try to save them and must relinquish military leverage. This is not justice. This is a travesty of justice." International reactions: Senator Lindsey Graham also responded to the ICJ's ruling in a post on X, stating that "as far as [she is] concerned, the ICJ can go to hell." Graham further added that "so called international justice organizations" need to be opposed, and that "their anti-Israel bias is overwhelming." She further called the ICJ's ruling "ridiculous," stating that the ruling "will and should be ignored by Israel." Another politician from the US who responded on X to the ICJ's ruling was House Majority leader Steve Scalise. In his post, Scalise said that Israel's objective is to free the remainig hostages, and "destroy Hamas’ last stronghold. [Israel] must complete this mission." Scalise further stated, "The ICJ is blinded by anti-Israel bias. Biden must commit to vetoing any UN Security Council resolution that would enforce this outrageous decision." Britain's National Jewish Assembly condemned the ICJ's decision "vehemently," arguing that the decision was "born out of ignorance and devoid of any practical enforcement mechanism, only serves to embolden terrorist organisations and undermine the principles of international law and justice." “The ICJ’s ruling is not only a grave misstep but a direct affront to justice and morality,” said Gary Mond, Chairman of the NJA. “By undermining Israel’s right to defend its citizens against a genocidal terrorist organisation, the ICJ is not promoting peace but rather denying Israel’s ability to defend its people and territory. This decision must be condemned by all who value truth and justice.” The NJA further charged that the "ICJ’s ruling exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in Gaza" as "[h]alting military operations against Hamas will not lead to peace but will prolong the suffering of both Israelis and Palestinians. "The true path to alleviating the humanitarian disaster in Gaza lies in dismantling Hamas’s infrastructure of terror and allowing genuine humanitarian aid to reach those in need without interference from terrorist activities."
WSJ: Is the International Court of Justice paying attention?
The families of the hostages demand that the government reject outright the decision in The Hague.
Lawyer: "With the reading of the orders, it should be mentioned again that the president of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Nawaf Salam, is Lebanese and was even previously Lebanon's ambassador to the United Nations. In other words, the President of the High Court is a representative of a country that daily carries out military attacks from its soil against the State of Israel. A joke at the expense of the Jews."
Activist: The president of the court in The Hague, Nawaf Salam from Lebanon, a country that fires at us non-stop just because it feels like it, announced that "Israel must stop the operation in Rafah immediately and that allegations of genocide must be investigated." You can't make this shi-t up.

As expected, anti-Israel current government of Slovenia approves decision to recognize Palestinian state alongside Israel.
An achievement for Israel at the UN: a Palestinian-Syrian resolution that ignores the hostages was blocked.
The World Health Organization was about to adopt a resolution that deals with the health situation in Gaza, but does not refer to the October 7 massacre. The Israeli delegation submitted an amendment regarding the abductees, most of the countries supported: "Any decision that does not call for their release is a moral failure."
Once in a while Israel has the chance to expose the hypocrisy of the Arab Islamic lobbying on the international stage. Today, the Arab countries, like a traditional anti Israel campaign, this time a so-called "Syrian-Palestinian Resolution" headed by Egypt, introduced a typical anti Israel resolution. So, this time, Israel added a clause about Hamas' kidnapping men women and children and busing infrastructure for terror. The ugly part is that the anti Israel current governments like [Ireland, Belgium] Slovenia and Norway abstained. The ambassador asked Norway, so you chose now to recognize a palestine state, but what are you objecting to? Are you with Hamas on kidnapping? So the Arabs were shocked and Egypt announced that it withdraws the resolution...

Ceremony calls for 'purification' from 'scent' of Zionists.
Biden Administration policies have put Israeli soldiers in greater danger: On the eve of the month-long Muslim holiday of Ramadan, in March, the White House warned Israel to halt its military advance on Rafah. The Israelis had removed Hamas from the vast majority of the Gaza Strip. The IDF was on the cusp of destroying the terrorist group, defying the predictions of most Middle East experts. The U.S. warned that war during Ramadan could lead to a multi-front conflict the Israelis wanted to avoid. These warnings resonated with the Israelis, who had had first-hand experience with Ramadan-inspired conflicts in recent years. So they agreed to halt for a month.
But when that month was over, and the Israelis readied for a renewal of the war, the White House moved the goal posts. The U.S. immediately began to warn of a potential humanitarian disaster in Gaza. The State Department went so far as to suggest that Israel could be guilty of war crimes in Rafah. The White House even threatened to halt the provision of ammunition to Israel, as a result of these purported fears. Never mind that Israel had kept the civilian to militant casualty count lower than any of America’s previous engagements in Iraq or Afghanistan.

'Falling for Hamas tactics’: IDF names 9 terrorists killed in school strike, slams media. After attack on UNRWA facility that reportedly killed 33 and sparked global anger, army spokesman says its intel showed no women or children in the targeted rooms. Noting the overnight airstrike on terror operatives gathered in three classrooms in a UN school in central Gaza’s Nuseirat, Hagari says "This is the fifth time we have had to target Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists operating from inside UNRWA facilities. In the last months alone, Hamas wages wars from schools and hospitals. Hamas hopes that international law and public sympathy will provide a shield for their military activities, which is why they systematically operate from schools, UN facilities, hospitals and mosques... Sadly, we saw some media outlets fall for Hamas’s tactics yet again, before checking the facts. While Hamas abuses international law, the IDF will continue to operate according to international law. The systematic abuse of UN facilities is a war crime, and it must be stopped by the world."

"Of course, we cannot anticipate Israel to be warning ahead of a raid to extract or to save hostages because then what the terrorists would do is to kill the hostages, and that would defeat the purpose."
And the hostages "were held and jailed by Palestinian civilians in a Palestinian civilian area. As regrettable as any loss of life is, I think that we would have to investigate really who were the people who jailed these Israeli civilians for eight months."

From UN Watch: 'Exposed: Francesca Albanese’s Global Influence Network Targeting Israel.'
Albanese’s GNQP Network Includes UN, UNRWA, PLO Officials, Institutions in 22 Countries.
She is proud of co-founding and running the “Global Network on the Question of Palestine” (GNQP). She runs it under the auspices of the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) in Amman, an organization she joined in November 2018 as a senior advisor
Global Network co-leader Lex Takkenberg has boasted that their group was a key player in spreading the “genocide” libel against Israel.
Albanese’s GNQP also counts in its ranks 10 institutions including the Hamas-linked Palestine Return Centre, Al-Haq and European Legal Support Centre, all of which are active in anti-Israel lawfare campaigns designed to negate Israel’s right to self-defense against Hamas terrorism.
Before October 7th: Albanese Begins the “Genocide” Libel.
When Francesca Albanese presented a report in March 2024 accusing Israel of genocide, this was not new. In fact, she had been publicly accusing Israel of genocide since at least 2014:
July 25, 2014: Albanese posts article accusing Israel of “incremental genocide”.
March 1, 2023: Albanese endorses claim that Israeli commits genocide. She is condemned for “a truly sickening and antisemitic” statement. “Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race. Accusing Israel of the worst human rights crime — a crime that Jews have been the most prominent victims of over the past century — is not meant to protect Palestinians but to cause pain to Jews.”
March 30, 2023: Albanese accuses Israel of being “an oppressive regime that threatens the right of an entire people to exist.”
Her network was mobilized after October 7th to spread the “genocide” libel.
Her Global Netowrk also includes such personalities as Hanan Ashrawi - Arafat's PLO - infamous for pushing the ancient despicable blood-libel, Susan Akram (who Also promoted the Genocide label in 2014 and has been equating Palestinian Arabs with Holocaust victims, no less).

"In other cases, they had to relieve themselves in a bucket. The terrorists engaged in psychological abuse, constantly telling each captive, 'Israel has forgotten you,' 'Israel wants to get rid of you,' 'Your mother went on vacation to Greece; we saw it on the news,' 'Your wife is dating someone else,' 'Your children are doing nothing.' They even said, 'Be quiet because Israel is listening and wants to kill you. You are a problem for Israel, and it is much easier to solve this by killing you than rescuing you.'

First, it’s important to note that these countries haven’t so much as recognized a Palestinian state as they have conjured one.
Little thought has been given to the geographical boundaries of this new state, which, given the territorial disputes with Israel, is a rather critical point to have agreed upon.
And what about this new state’s governance? Will Hamas or the Palestinian Authority be in charge? Will there even be elections?
Second, was this a stand for Palestinians or for Hamas? It’s curious that Spain, Norway, and Ireland decided to recognize Palestinian statehood after the October 7 Hamas attacks, not before. If it looks like a reward for the October 7 massacre, it’s because it is.'

'Behind closed doors: How a prominent Gazan family secretly kept three hostages' - WSJ.
Dr. Ahmad Aljamal [family was associated with Hamas] – a general practitioner, imam, and member of a prominent family in Gaza – secretly held three Israeli hostages captive in his home for six months.
Many locals have paid a visit to the house, surprised by the discovery of the captive Israelis right underneath their noses. The paper said secrets such as this are hard to keep within such a close-knit community and in a tightly packed area.
Residents were unhappy that Hamas put civilians in danger by housing the hostages in a densely populated area next to a market.
Locals wished Hamas kept the hostages in tunnels, away from civilians.

US VP Kamala Harris: 'We must tell truth about horrific sexual violence of Hamas'
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at an event attended by freed hostage Amit Soussana, which was dedicated to the issue of sexual violence by Hamas terrorists. "Sexual violence has always been a weapon of war and continues to this day," Harris said. She noted that "in Ukraine, Russian soldiers raped Ukrainian women; In Iraq and Sudan, women are subjected to sexual terror; And on October 7, Hamas committed horrific acts of sexual violence. In the days after October 7, I saw images of bloodied Israeli women abducted. Then it came to light that Hamas committed rape and gang rape at the Nova Music Festival…I’ve heard the stories, from a former hostage, of what she witnessed and heard in captivity. These testimonies, I fear, will only increase as more hostages are released,” said Harris. "The truth must be told about these crimes." (Harris is too late on that).

She was dragged to a hangar in a Paris suburb and raped by three assailants. They accused the girl’s ex-boyfriend, 12, and two other boys, aged 13 and 14, of leading her into a shed where they beat her and raped her, all while threatening to kill her and insulting her for her religion.
He had antisemitic themes on his phone including an image of burned Israeli flag. The three suspects are currently under arrest. A gynecological examination confirmed the girl was raped.

Due to a push by a "Palestine" fanatic editor (followed by a very active anti-Israel long working editors "club" headed by an administrator): ADL faces Wikipedia ban over reliability concerns on Israel and antisemitism.
Wikipedia editors now deem the Anti-Defamation League "generally unreliable" on Israel-Palestine and potentially on antisemitism, citing bias and factual concerns.
"ADL no longer appears to adhere to a serious, mainstream and intellectually cogent definition of antisemitism, but has instead given into the shameless politicization of the very subject that it was originally esteemed for being reliable on,” wrote an editor known as Iskandar323, whose request for a discussion about the ADL ultimately led to the ban.
That editor 'Iskandar323' behind push to ban ADL is heavily "palestine" propagandist and had nem engaging om editwars
In a written statement, the ADL said the decision by Wikipedia was the result of a ”campaign to delegitimize the ADL” and that editors opposing the ban “provided point by point refutations, grounded in factual citations, to every claim made, but apparently facts no longer matter.”
While one has one own criticism of ADL in its turning left and often abandoning core values.
However it has nothing to do with the other part - its good - reliable info - work in fighting hate.

Article: 'The Evisceration of Mehdi Hasan.'
'...it was gratifying to see Hasan’s holier-than-thou persona brought down a peg or two when he came up against UK lawyer Natasha Hausdorff and author and political commentator Douglas Murray in a must-see Munk Debate on anti-Zionism.
Speaking in favor of the motion that anti-Zionism is antisemitism, Hausdorff and Murray beat Hasan and hateful Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy by 66% to 34%. Not only that, between the beginning of the debate and the end, support for Mehdi’s position actually dropped by 5%.
But more importantly, it was demonstrated that Hasan, the author of the book “Win Every Argument: The Art of Debating, Persuading, and Public Speaking,” actively employs lies and distortions in his efforts to win every argument. It’s interesting to observe how Hasan, even when caught red-handed, tries to deflect. Let’s remember that he was rightly called out for factually misquoting Lord Arthur Balfour, the author of the 1917 Balfour Declaration. Natasha Hausdorff never made any judgment on Balfour’s character, which was not the issue. That didn’t stop Hasan from reposting the below tweet quoting from a 2017 opinion piece by Palestinian American activist Yousef Munayyer that called Balfour a “white supremacist” and “antisemite.”'

Activist/journalist: 'Red-handed: Catching the BBC pushing fake news. This time I caught the BBC red-handed.'
'I actually have a growing pile of BBC ‘gotcha’ articles waiting to be written. The situation is so bad these days I cannot keep up. Part of the problem has also been trying to avoid repetition. Everyone is become desensitised to news about the BBC’s conveyor belt of dodgy articles.
Then along comes something that jumps to the head of the queue.
Back in November I exposed that the BBC had fabricated a story about footballers being trapped in Gaza. I not only managed to prove the entire story was absolute hogwash, I highlighted how the BBC had relied on a Hamas supporting local journalist for the fake scoop. I said at the time that if ever BBC executives are forced to stand before a panel at an inquiry – that article should be held up as exhibit A.
This latest example can be exhibit B. Inexcusable and blatant fake news being promoted by the BBC because its obsessive hack journalists are falling over themselves to demonise Israel. And even when the BBC realised the error – it still could not pull the plug entirely.
And this time I caught them red-handed. What makes this one even better? The BBC thought they had got away with it.
The BBC publish fake news.
About 6am on Friday 21 June, the BBC published a story about how Gaza’s water system is broken – and how it is crippling children and making them sick...
It was another in a long line of similar headlines. On the 19th it was about how Gazan children are living ‘alongside rotting rubbish and rodents’. A day before this – on the 18th, Adnan Al Bursh (a BBC Gazan correspondent currently enjoying life in Doha) wrote a story about ‘a desperate mother’s plea to feed her baby’ – and so on. The same story packaged 1000 different ways. The BBC want people to buy into the lie that a famine is taking place – so it pushes out these empty, skewed and fact-free propaganda articles like a drumbeat.
This latest article automatically set off alarm bells. Firstly, it was written by Jon Donnison. He is a veteran BBC journo with a long history of falling over himself to publish lies about Israel. Donnison was the journo who reported on the Al Alhi hospital explosion that was caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket – and he was the one who told BBC viewers that he couldn’t see it being anything else other than an Israeli airstrike. A big mistake that the BBC had to apologise for. But this journo has real form. In 2012 he even posted an image of a girl injured in the Syrian Civil War and claimed it was from Gaza. A perfect example of a BBC anti-Israel obsessive.
Red-handed with red flags – the healthy parents.
But the biggest red flag was the subject matter. The article contained images of healthy looking parents sitting next to extremely sick children in hospital beds. This is straight out of the Hamas propaganda playbook. These children – tragic as their situation may be – have deep underlying illnesses – which are hidden from the reader. But any fool can see the truth – parents who clearly eat well do not let their children suffer from famine – ergo, something else is at play.
Yet the BBC went for it and pushed blatant Hamas propaganda. An image of a broken child – Yunis Jumaa – next to a healthy looking mum – Ghanima Jumaa. And the BBC quoted directly from the mum informing readers that the child was in ‘excellent health before’...'

Witnessing the hate attack outside LA synagogues:
'Thirty minutes after Hamas supporters first set up their operation outside a Los Angeles synagogue, they maced their first Jew. And the Los Angeles police did nothing.
Not until an hour into the terrorist rally outside a synagogue, did the LAPD finally step in, pushing back masked Jihad supporters in keffiyeh terror scarves from the entrance of Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) which they had occupied.
And then the mob, chanting calls for “intifada” and the destruction of Israel, moved outward to target two smaller synagogues attended by Persian Jewish refugees from Islamic terror in Iran.
“Billions of us will come and kill you,” a heavily accented Middle Eastern man in a keffiyeh unprompted rasped at me as I walked up. Only dozens had actually shown up, but they made up for it with bullhorns, robotic chants, and assaults in the middle of a Jewish neighborhood.
The Jewish counterprotesters had come waving American and Israeli flags while the other side was a sea of terrorist flags. A man wore an Antifa cap, another had come in ski goggles during 90-degree heat, while others toted bear spray, metal bottles, and other implements of violence.'

Report: Like sadistic Nazis: Secret Hamas papers reveal step-by-step action plan for Oct. 7.
Uncovered documents and eyewitness accounts obtained by Israel Hayom and Bild reveal the chilling extent of Hamas' meticulous planning for how to kidnap women and children and brutally take over homes. "The cruelty was supposed to be as graphic as possible because that's how you show your superiority," expert says.
The October 7 massacre was not only explicitly directed at Israeli civilians but was deliberately carried out by Gazan civilians who were an inherent part of the grand plan Hamas had devised. According to academic researchers in Germany and Israel, parts of this plan are reminiscent of practices used by the Nazis to exterminate European Jews, such as the use of Einsatzgruppen, the SS "operational units" that advanced in the wake of the German army's invasion of Eastern Europe and participated in the planned and systematic extermination of Jews.

More ferocious NYT bias.
Article: 'Ferocious’ [sic] Israel, ‘Rabidly Partisan’ Adelson.' 'For a telltale indicator of New York Times bias, keep an eye on the adjectives and adverbs. Two recent front-page Times articles offer examples of this particular problem skewing the coverage. A Times article purporting to show how Israelis “feel little sympathy” for Gazans suffering includes the line, “Michael Zigdon, who operates a small food shack in Netivot’s rundown market and had employed two men from Gaza until the attack, expressed little sympathy for Gazans, who have endured a ferocious Israeli military onslaught for the past eight months.” The “ferocious” adjective gets hurled by the Times a second time in the same article, which goes on, in case any reader failed to absorb the point the first time, to say that “the death toll in Gaza has spiraled to at least 37,000 since Israel began its ferocious offensive.”
The Israeli self-defense operation gets described by the Times as “ferocious,” [“a ferocious Israeli military onslaught”] while the Hamas attack of Oct. 7 earns no such label. My Webster’s Second defines ferocious as “having or exhibiting ferocity, cruelty, savagery, etc; violently cruel.” Ferocity is defined as coming from the Latin root ferus, meaning wild, “as the ferocity of barbarians.” That qualifies as slander of Israel, opinion masquerading as New York Times news writing. If the Times news writers and editors want to accuse Israel of waging barbaric, savage...'

Joy and schadenfreude in Jewish community as bigot George Galloway is booted out of Parliament.
'He won in the Rochdale by-election earlier this year. At the time, he declared “Keir Starmer – this is for Gaza” when he won. An estimated 30 per cent of voters in Rochdale are Muslim and the former Big Brother contestant had been attempting tap into the apparent hostility among some Muslim voters to Labour’s position on the Israel-Hamas war.
Speaking on the BBC, former Labour leader Lord Neil Kinnock called Galloway “repulsive” and a “chancer”. The Jewish Labour Movement Chair told the JC: "This is a tremendous result. Galloway is a one-trick pony, a pedlar of vicious hate who never sticks around after winning a by-election to serve the people who elected him. Politics is so much better off without him as an elected representative."'
Labour rocked by success of radical anti-Israel protest vote candidates.
Campaign group The Muslim Vote (TMV lobby) has helped to unseat two shadow cabinet ministers. 'The incoming Labour government will face intense pressure over the party’s policy towards Israel and the Middle East after radical, pro-Palestine candidates scored a series of triumphs and unseated two shadow cabinet ministers, Jon Ashworth and Thangam Debbonaire.'

"Today, Palestine is on the ballot (sic),” he wrote. He was rewarded with victory, with supporters greeting the news with cries of “free Palestine”.
It came less than an hour after the Jewish community breathed a sigh of relief as George Galloway lost his set in Rochdale.
The Israel-Hamas war emerged as a key issue in both progressive and Muslim-dominated constituencies as the night wore on.
In Leicester South, Labour’s Jon Ashworth lost his seat in a surprise upset to independent candidate Shockat Adam, who campaigned largely about Gaza in the heavily Muslim constituency.
Wes Streeting, presumed to be the country’s next health secretary, almost lost his seat to Leanne Mohamad.

It hired another who in college was an apologist for Hamas and Hezbollah, denying that the terror organizations are terror organizations, that they are fundamentalists, and even that they have murdered Israeli civilians.
It hired another not long after she expressed outrage that Israel struck a Hamas commander after the terror group fired a barrage of rockets toward Israeli civilians — and even charged that the strike amounted to “murder.”
Shortly after the Oct. 7 massacre, the newspaper commissioned a journalist who had posted on social media, “How great you are, Hitler.”
So it is unfortunate, but hardly surprising, that the New York Times has hired Bora Erden to cover the Israel-Hamas conflict...'

Activist: 'The beauty of "the day after." After the official Hamas announcement, that it will be the ruler of the Strip and no one else, and therefore will return to sitting over the towns and cities in Israel, and these atrocities, Israel has no reason to continue negotiations with this monstrous organization.'

"After October 7, the world finally saw what I and so many Jewish students across this country experienced almost every day." 'We are living in a culture that is anti-Western, anti-American and antisemitic. The far left-wing tide of antisemitism is rising. But tonight we fight back.' "I am a proud first generation American. I am a proud Orthodox Jew. And as of 5 months ago, I am the proud plaintiff suing Harvard University for its failure to combat antisemitism. I came to Harvard to study religion, the foundation of Western civilization. What I found was not theology, but a contempt for it." Kestenbaum continued, “My problem with Harvard is not it's liberalism, but it's i-liberalism. Too often students at Harvard are taught not how to think, but what to think. I found myself immersed in a culture that is anti-Western, that is anti-American and that is antisemitic. After October 7th, the world finally saw what I and so many Jewish students across this country experienced almost every day.” Kestenbaum said, “When I planted 1200 Israeli and American flags on campus, they were all vandalized within 24 hours. I was harassed by my peers merely for being a Jew and have received countless death threats online. Students and professors have openly called for new Hamas-style attacks against the US. And perhaps most damning, when Hamas terrorists butchered 45 American citizens on October 7th, when they took 12 Americans hostage, Harvard refused to immediately and unequivocally condemn this atrocity.” Kestenbaum lamented, “my fellow Americans. The antisemitic bigotry unfortunately extends far beyond the universities. Although I once voted for Bernie Sanders, I now recognize that the far left has not only abandoned the Jewish people, but the American people. The Democratic Party, the party I registered to vote for the day I turned 18, has become ideologically poisoned. And it is this poison, it is this corruption, that is infecting far too many young American students. Let's be clear. The far left's antisemitic extremism has no virtue, and the radicalism on our campuses and on our streets has no moral legitimacy.

A UAV fell in Tel Aviv: one person - 50-year-old man Yevgeny Ferder was killed and at least 10 were injured. A loud explosion was heard in several cities. Ten people were slightly injured by shrapnel and they were taken to hospitals in the center. Among the victims - injured by shrapnel and panic attacks. The Islamic Republic of Iran's Houthis accepted responsibility for launching the drone. US Army: "We intercepted four drones on their way to Israel." It happened in the center of Tel Aviv around 03:15. There was no warning before the explosion. Total blindness ahead of drone strike on Tel Aviv. Analysis: Aerial defenses including radars in the air, on land and at sea, failed to detect the hostile drone making its way to Israel's major city - a strategic target.

'Operation Long Arm' / 'Operation Outstretched Arm': IDF strikes Yemen's Al Hudaydah [Hodeidah] days after Islamic Republic of Iran backed Houthi drone attack that killed one and injured four others. Casualties reported following Israeli strike in Yemen. It was also in response to ongoing Houthi attacks on Israel and the Red Sea for months.
"Over 220 projectiles have been launched [by the Houthis] against Israeli civilians and infrastructure, the latest one killing a civilian and injuring many more.” The official emphasized that “the Houthis attacks are acts of aggression, a flagrant violation of international law and a threat to international security and the Middle east stability. I remind you, the Houthis declared a maritime siege on Israel and parts of the Middle east and Europe, and have attacked dozens of times different navy vessels from different countries of all around the world in various terror aggressions, killing people, sinking ships, taking ships, and disrupting the whole economic system in the Middle East and in Europe."
Explained: They 'have been targeting the country since soon after Hamas’s October 7 invasion and slaughter. And Israel had elected not to strike back, even after a missile scored a direct hit on Eilat in March. But in the early hours of Friday morning, an apparently upgraded Houthi drone evaded Israel’s defenses — for reasons thus far ascribed by the IDF to “human error” — and exploded in Tel Aviv, striking an apartment bloc and killing a 50-year-old Israeli, Yevgeny Ferder. The Houthis declared that this marked a “new phase” in their operations against Israel.'
"The attack is 200 km further from Israel than Tehran." High alert in the Air Force all over the country for fear of a reaction. The Americans were informed in advance of the attack, the IDF clarified: "It is in Israeli action only." The military purposes behind the port in Hodeidah, including serving as an entry point for Iranian-supplied weapons. 'Iran has many arms': Chief of Staff Halevi addresses Hodeidah strike and implications for Iran. Netanyahu thanks 'our friend the United States.' 'Anyone who harms us will pay a heavy price.' 3 dead, 87 wounded in the strikes on Hodeidah, Al-Masirah TV says. Israeli officials plan strong counterattack in case of attempted retribution.

Outgoing UN rapporteur, Javaid Rehman, urges int'l probe into 1980s atrocities in Iran, the systematic human rights violations committed by Iranian authorities during the early 1980s and the 1988 massacres.
Thousands of dissidents, including members of minority groups like Baha'is, Kurds, and those affiliated with organizations such as the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) and other leftist groups, were executed in the 1980s, particularly during the summer of 1988. Political prisoners were executed following a fatwa issued by Iran's then-leader, Ruhollah Khomeini, with the approval of a four-member death committee.
His detailed report presents damning findings on human rights violations in Iran during 1981-1982 and 1988, highlighting systematic "atrocity crimes" and grave human rights abuses committed by Iranian authorities, including extrajudicial executions, torture, and enforced disappearances of political opponents.
The report focuses on the summary, arbitrary, and extrajudicial executions of thousands of political prisoners, which Rehman categorizes as crimes against humanity.'

Condemns anti-Israel demonstrators as Iran’s useless idiots. 'I promise, we will win.' ‘Our victory will be your victory.’ The Israeli prime minister thanked the United states for its friendship and support and emphasized the need to eradicate Hamas and to counter the Iranian threat.
He began by presenting some of IDF present. One of Ethiopian background who didn’t have a car handy on Oct 7, so he ran 8 miles to the southern Israel to save lives; a Bedouin Muslim commander who fought that day; two Israeli Jewish soldiers injured, one who already saved lives on Oct 7 and another also injured in battle, both keep on fighting.
He cited warfare expert's conclusion that the war in Gaza has one of the lowest ratios of non-combarants to combatants in history of modern warfare. And that Israel went beyond of its obligation to spare civilian lives.

WSJ Editorial Board: 'The lawmakers who boycotted the speech by Israel’s Prime Minister to Congress on Wednesday revealed more about themselves than they did about Benjamin Netanyahu. Had they listened, they might have learned why Israel fights. They also would have heard from Mr. Netanyahu that “Israel has enabled more than 40,000 aid trucks to enter Gaza. That’s half-a-million tons of food and more than 3,000 calories [a day] for every man, woman and child in Gaza” before Hamas’s theft. They could have considered how “the ability of all democracies to fight terrorism will be imperiled” by the constraints international institutions seek to impose on Israel. “The war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas surrenders, disarms and returns all the hostages,” Mr. Netanyahu said. But if they don’t, Israel will fight until victory. “Give us the tools faster, and we’ll finish the job faster,” he said. The implication that President Biden’s decision to delay weapons transfers has dragged out the war is true, but it was wisely left unsaid. Mr. Netanyahu thanked Mr. Biden and Donald Trump—and all Americans—for their support. Democrats are still sore, however, from his 2015 address criticizing the Iran nuclear deal. The Prime Minister warned then that Iran was surrounding Israel in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, and “seizing control of Yemen, threatening the strategic straits at the mouth of the Red Sea.” He asked, “Would Iran be less aggressive when sanctions are removed and its economy is stronger?” '

Someone waving a black flag that has the words of the Islamic creed known as the Shahada on it — traditionally understood to be the flag under which the Muslim p. Muhammad began his conquests — held a separate sign reading, “Allah is gathering all the Zionists for the ‘Final Solution.'” The poster included a large bomb being exploded in the middle of an Israeli flag. As it was expressed: 'the demonstrators’ actions show they are not pro-Palestinian but anti-American and anti-Western, adding, “Writing ‘Hamas is coming’ on an American national monument, is more than an idle threat; it is an aspiration, and they are openly calling for an Oct. 7-style massacre to take place in the US, inciting for genocide against Jews.”'

'Occupied Palestinian territory is reoccupied Jewish territory.' The falsehoods and omissions in the ICJ's Advisory Opinion are revealed one by one in Op-ed.
Article: 'Islamic and Arab Imperialism and Irredentism is driving the conflict between the river and the sea.' One paradigm: Israeli violence is the violence that must be exercised to maintain a neo-colonial military occupation and apartheid-like inequality. Palestinian violence is the inevitable response to that occupation and apartheid-like inequality. Violence therefore will only end when the occupation and Israeli so-called "apartheid" end. The other: Palestinian violence is the violence that must be exercised to establish a colonial military occupation that goes back more than a millennium, and apartheid inequality in which women and infidels are unequal before the law. Israeli violence is the inevitable response to that perduring Muslim imperialism. Violence therefore will only end when Muslims renounce their triumphalism and supremacism. The price of getting it wrong is very steep.'
Article: 'Wikipedia’s Jewish Problem.'
'The site seems to be intentionally trafficking in disinformation related to Jews, Israel, and Zionism.'
'These days, Wikipedia ranks its “perennial” go-to sources—The New York Times, The New Yorker, NPR, MSNBC, and BBC—as “generally reliable” and extends the ranking to the openly partisan far-left outlets like Haaretz, The Intercept, The Nation, and The Guardian. Al Jazeera and the NGO Amnesty International (both known for their anti-Israel bias) are rated as “generally reliable” as well. The far-left Israeli NGO B’Tselem isn’t included on this list, but, as Aaron Bandler notes in Jewish Journal, Wikipedia editors have staunchly defended its reliability and referenced it in articles. On the other hand, conservative sources such as Fox News, The New York Post, Washington Examiner, and Washington Free Beacon are coded various shades of unreliable, with the Beacon getting the “generally unreliable” grade—one notch above “deprecated.”
This ranking tells us what kind of slant we can expect in Wikipedia’s articles about Israel, Zionism, and anti-Zionist antisemitism. In the wake of Oct. 7, “generally reliable” sources have trafficked in disinformation, as when The New York Times splashed the Al Ahli hospital bombing hoax over its front page, helping spark violent anti-Jewish riots across the world; or when The New Yorker legitimized Holocaust inversion—a long-running staple of anti-Zionist propaganda originating in the 1960s USSR. Conservative outlets, on the other hand, have produced reporting that tells Israel’s side of the story and have looked far more critically at the anti-Israel campus protests. The “generally unreliable” Washington Free Beacon has arguably produced the most extensive reporting on the protests. Wikipedia editors, however, are warned against using the Beacon as a source, which is why of the 353 references accompanying Wikipedia’s article on the pro-Palestinian campus protests, the overwhelming majority is to liberal and far-left sources plus Al Jazeera.
One-sided sources are just one among a host of problems in Wikipedia articles related to Oct. 7 and the war that followed. In a World Jewish Congress report released in March, Dr. Shlomit Aharoni Nir documents numerous ways in which relevant Wikipedia entries have become de facto anti-Israel propaganda. From biased framing to omissions of key facts to stressing anti-Israel examples while ignoring the Israeli side of the story, to promoting fringe academic perspectives on Zionism—Wikipedia’s editors and administrators have actively worked to subvert the site’s neutrality policy on this topic. As in other instances, conflicts and bullying behavior predominate, with Israeli editors describing uniquely “hostile and disrespectful” treatment. Israeli users, who are most knowledgeable about the Oct. 7 events, often found themselves locked out of editing key articles, which were open for editing only to users who’d made over 500 edits. Several editors told Aharoni Nir that there were a number of activists who operated anonymously and were “responsible for the anti-Israel tone.”
Among some of the most troubling instances Aharoni Nir documented were calls for deletions of crucial articles. These included articles describing individual massacres on Oct. 7, such as those at Netiv HaAsara, Nir Yitzhak, Yakhini, and other kibbutzim and moshavim, as well as articles describing Hamas beheadings. Some of the calls succeeded. So did the call to erase the article about Nazism in Palestinian society (a “documented historical and sociological phenomenon,” notes Aharoni Nir). By contrast, the article normalizing equations between Israel and Nazi Germany—a propagandistic concept that has been weaponized against Jews for decades––remains on the site. Meanwhile, Wikipedia’s Arabic site openly abandoned the principle of neutrality last December when it temporarily went dark in solidarity with the Palestinians, then added the Palestinian flag to its logo and posted a pro-Palestinian statement at the top. Israel’s Wikipedia community protested. Wikimedia Foundation—you guessed it—did nothing.
Many, undoubtedly, will note the irony of the ADL being attacked by the Wikipedia woke, given the criticism the organization and its head Jonathan Greenblatt have faced from the Jewish community for their progressive tilt and failure to focus on left-wing antisemitism. But the ADL has long been in social justice warriors’ crosshairs. In 2020, 100 hard-left groups signed an open letter demanding that the left “drop the ADL” as an ally. Ten days after Oct. 7, the director of the pernicious Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism attacked the ADL for daring to stand up against anti-Israel hate. And in January, The Nation published a piece whose title, “The Anti-Defamation League: Israel’s Attack Dog in the US,” read like a Pravda headline circa 1970. The Wikipedia editors who won the battle over downgrading the ADL used this piece to back up their arguments, along with articles in the hard-left Guardian and Jewish Currents, further confirming that the action had been driven not by an honest consideration of sources but political bias.
In response to a letter by 43 Jewish organizations requesting it review the decision, Wikimedia issued a press release referring to Wikipedia’s supposedly inviolable mechanisms that must be preserved to keep it “neutral and free from institutional bias.” All content decisions are made by “Wikipedia’s volunteer community” in a transparent manner, with clear processes in place, and Wikimedia dares not interfere in the magic of that process.'

Hezbollah Iranian-made powerful rocker with a warhead of more than 50 kg kills 12, mostly children, injures over 20 in Majdal Shams in norther Israel, as it hits soccer field, in deadliest Islamic group's attack yet. It fired approx. 40 projectiles toward northern Israel during 3 separate barrages. Clip: an alarm - then a tremendous boom and a mushroom of smoke, the moment of hitting the field. Hezbollah tried first to claim "denial" (as the victims turned out to be non-Jews), but Arab Druze. Pres. Herzog: Hezbollah murdered children whose only crime was playing soccer. Druze spiritual leader in Israel says deadly rocket attack 'crossed all possible lines.' Attack follows Lebanese terror group’s announcement that 4 operatives killed by IDF.

'After realizing what they have done, Hezbollah is backpedaling with a crazy speed. Just 30 mins ago they claimed responsibility, now they began to deny it Look at all those Hezbollah fanboys, they will delete their initial tweets praising the attack and pretend it never happened.'

Analysts: 'Hezbollah itself is trying to prevent a rupture in its relations with the Druze, not only because it relies on W. Jumblatt on the internal front in Lebanon, but also in the context of its activities around the Druze mountain in Syria and because of the fact that quite a few Druze officers serve in very senior ranks in Assad's army.'

The soldiers were then arrested based on these terrorists’ testimony, leading to a “revolt” by protesters who stormed two IDF bases.

Sde Teiman case: about ONE dangerous Nukhba terrorist's claim and the high scrutiny at high morality Israel society.
Hospital report casts doubt on viral (supposed) ‘rape’ claim. After a prisoner was found to have an injury to his buttocks, the Israeli military began an investigation. But when officers arrived at Sde Teiman to arrest and question the reservists who supposedly were responsible for the prisoner, right-wing protesters had invaded the prison, overwhelming the guards, to protect the reservists. The resulting standoff shocked Israelis, as it implied a collapse of law and order at the prison facility. Supporters of the reservists contend that the Palestinian prisoner was injured after trying to smuggle a cellphone into the prison inside his rectum. The Hadassah Hospital report lends weight to that theory. It found that there was no injury to the prisoner’s anus, as would have been consistent with forced insertion of an object, but just internal injury.
"If it wasn't for us, probably the Nukhba terrorists would have raped soldiers and female soldiers at the base a long time ago." Until last week, only a few people were familiar with "Force 100", the IDF unit that handles the unusual incidents with the Nukhba imprisoned at the Sde Teiman base. Then came the storm of the arrest of some of its people and the break-in led by the MKs into the bases - everything became political, charged and toxic. Now, five fighters of the unit provide a rare glimpse into what they really do, what goes on in the terrorist pens, and why they are actually completely in favor of an investigation. A military militia? .. "This is a lie and a lie," they say, and warn: "The fear is that at the moment of truth, the terrorists will take advantage of our weak points and weaknesses, and slaughter the military police and everyone in the area." After Israel came to arrest in Sde Teiman there were protests. It became politicized with some leftists in media trying to define IDF.
Medical report suggests injury to terrorist detained at Sde Teiman self-inflicted. Court finds no evidence of external force, bolstering appeal of 5 soldiers accused of mistreatment.
More on the dangerous Nukhba terrorists and fake news: An edited video that spliced footage from two different days as is evident from the dates that appear on it. Most importantly, the video showed no evidence of a crime despite the fact that the narrator of the video falsely states: “The footage shows documentation of the offense attributed to the reservists.” But that didn’t stop the video from being picked up by Israel’s enemies and broadcast to the world with the claim: “Here’s proof that IDF soldiers rape Palestinians.” As seen, just one re-tweet received 7.5 million views. Infamous Jackson Hinkle as well as pro-Iranian Telegram accounts also retweeted it and got millions of views.

At least 19 terrorists eliminated in headquarters in Gaza school. The terrorists from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, were eliminated in an attack on a military command center located purposely inside a Gaza school. IDF rejects Hamas claim of over 90 dead after strike on terror operatives at Gaza school. Amid global criticism, Israel names 19. The IDF carried out the attack using three small and precise weapons. According to professional analysis, these types of ammunition “cannot cause the amount of damage that is being reported by the Hamas-run Government Information Office in Gaza.” Furthermore, no severe damage was caused to the compound where the terrorists were situated, the IDF stated. It was revealed that the school was divided into three sections: men, women, and children. Only rooms containing terrorists in the men’s section were reportedly hit. The headquarters were reportedly used by Hamas terrorists for shelter and to plan and advance terror activities against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians. It published footage from before and after. 'Hamas has focused on exploiting school buildings'.
IDF spokesman says Al Jazeera covering up Hamas activity in targeted Gaza school.
The jab at al Jazeera's Hamas mouthpiece Anas al Sharis and his 'show.' After the IDF attacked a military headquarters at the school in Gaza City - where at least 19 terrorists were killed, the reporter of the Qatar channel accused: "a great massacre[sic]". An IDF spokesman in Arabic condemned: "covering up the crimes of Hamas and Islamic Jihad". Despite the fact that the al-Taba'in school that the IDF attacked yesterday (Saturday) in the Daraj Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City, was disguised as a hiding place for terrorists - Al-Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif, who broadcast from the scene, worked to glorify the event and did " A show." The IDF spokesman in Arabic, Col. Avichay Adraee, did not remain oblivious and condemned, but since then - the channel has opened a front against him. "I cannot describe what is happening," said Sharif, who is considered the mouthpiece of Hamas. .. Al-Jazeera presenter Tamer Al-Misshal stood by al-Sharif. In response to this, Col. Adraee reprimanded: "Obviously you are proud of them. He covers up the crimes of Hamas and Jihad by sheltering inside the schools. I am convinced that he knows by name a large number of those killed inside the school who belong to Hamas terrorists. But he is making a false media presentation - whose motives have nothing to do with the residents of Gaza."

They assume responsibility for their own fate and flourishing. Israelis don't complain; they fight. The very essence of Zionism is that no Jew should ever again be dependent on the forbearance of some alien elite for survival.

"Palestinian" "Human rights group" says Israel's attempts to SAVE civilians is proof of its "genocidal nature".
'The Palestinian Center of Human Rights is a respected organization by the human rights community. It is also insanely antisemitic.
The headline of a news release this week says, "Latest Israeli Displacement Orders Further Prove Their Genocidal Nature.
The very things the IDF does to avoid civilian casualties in order to get to Hamas targets hidden in civilian areas are being viewed as evidence of genocide!
The press release says this statement that no sane person could write: "The establishment of these so-called ‘humanitarian safe zones’ reveals a genocidal pattern designed to forcibly displace Palestinians to areas lacking essential services necessary for their survival." If the IDF wanted them dead, why spend the time and effort and resources to ask them (not force them) to leave? That's not even the only example in this very press release of interpreting Israeli actions to save Gazan lives as genocidal.
Israel has been working hard with UNICEF and WHO to bring polio vaccines into Gaza, a complex undertaking to do safely. Over 1.2 million doses have been imported. The entire operation is complicated by the fact that thse vaccines must be kept cool, so appropriate cooling equipment must also be brought in and there must be assurance that they will work during power outages. The entire operation so far has been accomplished in only a couple of weeks. Israel has also appointed a brigadier general whose only job is to coordinate with international organizations for aid delivery and distribution into Gaza. I'm pretty sure that no army in history has ever done so much to ensure aid to the enemy's side.'

Guarding Jewish crops and livestock is now sanctioned behavior.'
'The U.S. has just sanctioned an Israeli organization for guarding Jewish farms, which are subject to countless Palestinian terror attempts every year.

6 hostages murdered in captivity by "Palestine" Arab regime Hamas, their bodies were recovered. Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarus, and Ori Danino. Hersh, Carmel, Alex, Eden, Or, Almog: The 6 hostages murdered by Hamas just days ago. Goldberg-Polin’s family has ‘broken hearts’; Gat did yoga with hostage children; Lubnov never met his child; Yerushalmi’s sisters heard her being kidnapped; Danino turned car around to rescue others; Sarusi’s girlfriend was also murdered. Tragic end of saga especially for the 6 families.
"With broken hearts, the Goldberg-Polin family is devastated to announce the death of their beloved son and brother, Hersh. The family thanks you all for your love and support and asks for privacy at this time," they said. Yitzhak Danino, Ori's brother, wrote in a post on Instagram, "I'm sorry my brother that I wasn't able to do everything and on time, I'll live with it forever. I know you'll watch over me from above and I can't believe I'm even able to talk about you like that." The family of Carmel Gat also announced that she had been murdered while in captivity. Her cousin, Gil Dickmann, wrote on X, "The nightmare has come true...."

Our hearts break for Jon, Rachel, and their entire family, as well as the other families who found out today their loved ones won’t be coming home. May their memory be a blessing. The killing of these hostages only further confirms Hamas's depravity. It should release all the hostages immediately. We will continue to work with our partners in the region to secure an agreement without delay that frees the remaining hostages.'
Article: 'The deaths of these hostages shame the Western conscience.
Now this is resistance. Unprepared, unarmed, these six young people did what they could to resist the anti-Semitic savagery of the invading army from Gaza. They repelled its grenades, rescued some of its intended targets, tended to the victims of its racist sadism. They didn’t ask for war, they didn’t expect war, they didn’t deserve war. But when it came, brutishly intruding on their kibbutzim and parties, they took action that helped to minimise the Jewish people’s suffering. It is a testament to Western radicals’ swirling moral disarray and their detachment from civilisational values that they referred to the racist invaders of Israel as the ‘resistance’, and the Jewish heroes who fought back as ‘colonisers’.
But this goes beyond foolish ‘left’ apologism for Hamas. It goes beyond excuse-making for terror. There is a case to be made that the self-styled progressive conscience of the West has not been complacent in the face of Hamas’s barbarism, but complicit. Many in the West played an active role in justifying the kidnapping of people like Goldberg-Polin, Lobanov, Gat, Sarusi, Yerushalmi and Danino. They actively bolstered the kidnappers’ claims to be resistance fighters, and they actively prevented the raising of awareness of the kidnap victims, particularly through the destruction of posters featuring their faces. They were more than bystanders to a pogrom – they were unpaid PR men for the

Public broadcaster to launch Oct. 7 digital museum in English as well as Hebrew

Despite the discovery over the weekend that Hamas had executed an American hostage captured during the Oct. 7 atrocity against Israel, the Harris-Biden administration went right back Tuesday to pressuring the Jewish state to pull back against the terror group as part of a potential cease-fire deal.
“Hamas executed one of its American hostages. That requires an overwhelming American response,” senior adviser to the nonpartisan Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), said “… We need to bring the hammer down on Hamas and all its sponsors and enablers.”
Other critics pointed out that Hamas isn't paying but is shielded comfortably at "non-NATO ally" Qatar.

Tucker Carlson hosts 'historian' who promotes Nazi falsehoods on Holocaust.
He hosted fake 'historian' Darryl Cooper, who went on to claim that the Nazis were simply 'in over their heads.'
Yad Vashem: "Tucker Carlson and his guest Darryl Cooper engaged in one of the most repugnant forms of Holocaust denial of recent years. These far-fetched conspiracy theories are not only dangerous and malevolent, they are antisemitic." Cooper attempts to prove his mistaken point by quoting a letter supposedly from a German Wehrmacht officer, where he indicates that the murder of civilians and POWS in the USSR was out of “humane” concerns due to insufficient food supplies. This, too, is patently false. In reality, the letter by SS officer Rolf-Heinz Höppner on 16 July 1941, advocated for the murder of all the Jews in the western region of occupied Poland, called by the Nazis the Warthegau. Misrepresenting this as anything but intentional mass murder distorts history and downplays the Nazis responsibility for the Holocaust and for their other crimes. And: "Mr. Cooper isn't known for having done any scholarly research on Nazism and the Holocaust, and his statements in this interview clearly demonstrate his ignorance."
Republican lawmakers slam Tucker Carlson after his friendly interview with Holocaust denier.
White House condemns Tucker Carlson’s ‘Nazi propaganda’ interview as ‘disgusting and sadistic insult’.
Article: 'sorry Tucker Carlson, promoting Holocaust deniers is still a Red Line.'
Brendan O'neill: The shameful Nazi apologism of the Very Online right. Tucker Carlson’s chat with Darryl Cooper was a new low for the crank right... Cooper’s theory of the Second World War, a theory gleefully lapped up by the Hitler simps of the batshit right, is a gross lie. Churchill became British PM on 10 May 1940. The Nazis opened their first concentration camp – at Dachau – in 1933. They invaded Poland in 1939. They invaded Denmark and Norway before Churchill came to power. And they invaded the Netherlands, Belgium and France in the month he came to power. I don’t know who needs to hear this – in fact I do: the barbarous online right – but Churchill is not the bad guy here. Those of us old enough to remember the great showdown between the heroic historian Deborah Lipstadt and the Holocaust denier David Irving should feel especially worried by what’s happening right now. We had good reason to believe that the fall of Irving, also a historian devoted to ‘revising’ our understanding of the Second World War, represented a fatal blow to Nazi apologetics. What Irving presents as his historical scepticism is in truth a ‘distinctly pro-Nazi and anti-Jewish’ belief system, said the judge in Irving’s libel suit against Lipstadt after she called out his Holocaust denial. Yet fast-forward 24 years and Irving-style revisionism is not only making a comeback but also going mainstream. Cooper is ‘the most important popular historian working in the United States today’, gushed Carlson. How long until he gets Irving on? More and more members of the batshit right are tumbling down the toilet of historical revisionism. Foghorn hater of Israel, Candace Owens, recently described as ‘bizarre propaganda’ the idea that Josef Mengele conducted experiments on Jewish kids at Auschwitz. Michelle Goldberg at the New York Times calls these people ‘Hitler-curious’. Their swirling conspiratorial belief that we’re governed by a secretive ‘Matrix’ leads them to believe that ‘all [we’ve] been told about the nature of reality is a lie’, says Goldberg. And so they take aim at every truth of our society, mistaking such puerile disassembling of proven facts for ‘scepticism’. As Goldberg says, ‘once you discard all epistemological and moral guardrails, it’s easy to descend into barbarous nonsense’. A descent into barbarian thought really is what we are witnessing. And not just on the right. The crank right – with its war on the past, its philistine assault on truth, its vile obsession with race – is a mirror image of the woke left. Both rage with curious ferocity against Churchill: the woke leftists of the BLM era were vandalising Churchill statues years before Tucker had a Churchill hater on his show. Both relativise the Holocaust. The online right does it by suggesting the deaths of all those Jews was kind of unintentional; the crank left does it by calling everything it doesn’t like in the here and now, including Israel’s war on Hamas, ‘another Holocaust’. The former robs the Holocaust of its murderous intent, the latter robs it of its uniqueness: a right / left pincer movement of woke denialism that obscures the truth of what the Nazis did to the Jews. And both seem hell-bent on upending our common history. On violating the truths and wonders of our past. On scrubbing away the wins of our civilisation that shape who we are. The online right’s intellectual lynching of Churchill is in many ways its 1619 moment. Woke leftists in the US have for years sought to unilaterally change the founding date of the United States from 1776, the year of the revolution, to 1619, the year slaves first arrived in America. The aim of this conceited, elitist project? To reimagine America as a nation born in sin, not revolution; hatched from crime, not democracy. Now, the crank right seeks to dismantle the foundational truth of modern Europe, a truth that rightly still moves us and informs our devotion to civilisational values: namely, that the Nazis represented an incalculable evil, and the Allies were right to wage a war to the last against them. We joke about wokeness. We laugh at kids with blue hair who think you can change sex. We make fun of people who take refuge from words in ‘safe spaces’. But wokeness, in its truest form, is far from funny. It is a barbarous surge, coursing through the fibres of the internet and the thinking of our institutions, laying waste to every victory and insight of Western civilisation. And now we have a nexus of a morally exhausted right and a de-enlightened left, both awash with cynicism and contempt for the modernity we are privileged to inhabit. That we are witnessing an attempt to rehabilitate the actual Nazis is a testament to the threat all this poses to everything that is good and right. Reason has slept for long enough – it’s time to wake it up.'

On anniversary of 1970 Black September hijacking, six survivors on life after captivity
As Hamas continues to hold 97 hostages kidnapped on October 7, marking the September 6 PFLP terror group’s takeover of four planes paints new wounds in an old light.
What can a hostage crisis dating back over five decades teach about the present Gaza hostage ordeal? Six survivors of one of the “Black September” hijackings carried out by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in September of 1970 spoke with The Times of Israel in recent months about their experiences being held captive by terrorists.
These six survivors were on board TWA Flight 741 from Lod bound for John F. Kennedy Airport on September 6, 1970, when it was hijacked after stopping off in Frankfurt. It was one of four planes commandeered by the PFLP between September 6 and September 9.
The hijacked survivors’ testimonies shed light on the potential after-effects of captivity as Hamas continues to hold 97 of the 251 hostages who were kidnapped during its October 7 terror onslaught on southern Israel, which also saw 1,200 people brutally murdered. At least 33 of the remaining hostages have been confirmed dead by Israel.
Jerry Berkowitz, 84, a resident of Buffalo, New York, recalled how decades after their plane was hijacked, his wife Rivke suffered panic attacks on the few occasions when they flew.
“We were on the way back from my father’s funeral — on a plane about to leave La Guardia — and my wife was standing frozen with her finger pointing out the plane door which was open,” Berkowitz said. “I wanted to know what in the world she is looking at. It was clear she was not seeing the tarmac, she was seeing the Jordanian desert where our hijacked plane landed.”
Rivke, who died eight years ago, was pregnant at the time of the hijacking and flying with her two-year-old daughter Talia. Towards the end of her life Rivke made a point of staying away from airports, though in her professional and family life she was completely functional, said Berkowitz.
Three of the hijacked planes, carrying slightly more than 300 passengers, were forcibly landed in Zarqa, Jordan, at the Dawson Field, a stretch of land used as a makeshift runway because of its flat, packed-dirt surface and triangular shape.
Dawson Field was renamed “Revolution Airport” by the PFLP.
The PFLP attempted to use the hostages as bargaining chips to pressure Israel, Germany, Switzerland and England to release jailed Palestinian terrorists. They warned that at the end of a 72-hour deadline, the hostages would be murdered.
Most of the hostages — Germans, Swiss, British, Dutch and American, as well as some of the 78 Jewish Americans — were released within the first week, with 107 non-Jewish females and children released after the first day.
Of all the captives, only three — a woman named Nava Goren and her two small children — were Israelis. Fourteen more had dual Israeli-US citizenship, of whom only two were adults. The terrorists searched for, and singled out, the Jews, holding them in captivity longer than non-Jews with a similar age and gender profile.
Fifty-six captives — Jews, government and military officials and airplane crew — were held for three weeks.
The PFLP would later demand the release of 56 Palestinian, Algerian and Lebanese terrorists.
Germany and Switzerland would cave in to their demands and release six terrorists. Britain violated an extradition agreement with Israel and released the female terrorist Leila Khaled.
The US and Israel would refuse the PFLP’s demands.

A damning new report: BBC ‘breached guidelines 1,500 times’ over Israel-Hamas war. Coverage was heavily biased against Israel, report into corporation’s output finds.
Study of coverage of the first 4 months of the war finds serious bias against Israel in BBC reporting, Hamas called a terrorist organization just 3.2% of time.
The report, which was led by British lawyer Trevor Asserson, “deeply worrying pattern of bias" against the Jewish State during that period immediately following the massacre of 1,200 people by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023.
Among the instances of bias, the report found that the BBC associated Israel with "genocide" 14 times more than Hamas, despite Israel's efforts to avoid causing civilian casualties and the genocidal nature of Hamas' stated objectives of wiping out the Jewish population of Israel. Israel was accused of war crimes four times more than Hamas despite the fact that Hamas terrorists filmed themselves committing war crimes.
In addition, the term "terrorist organization" was used to describe Hamas only 3.2% of the time, despite Hamas being defined as a terrorist organization by the British government.
The BBC's Arabic-language channel was particularly biased against Israel in its reporting and featured reporters who had praised terrorism against Israelis and Hamas without informing viewers of this fact.
BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen and international correspondent Lyse Doucet were both accused of downplaying Hamas terrorism, with Doucet accused of downplaying the atrocities committed on October 7.
Conservatives in Parliament criticized the BBC following the publication of the report. Shadow Deputy Prime Minister Sir Oliver Dowden said, “Serious questions should be asked as to why this has been allowed to happen, and license-fee payers should expect to see the BBC stick to its own editorial guidelines.”
The Asserson Report on the BBC is damning. The Report is nearly 200 pages long, detailed, and damning in every respect. Some of the highlights:
- A well-designed study of BBC online using ChatGPT to help eliminate bias showing that BBC articles overwhelmingly showed more sympathy for the Palestinian side than the Israeli side.
- Another analysis of three popular BBC TV shows indicating pervasive anti Israel bias. (Negative is pro-Palestinian, positive is pro-Israel.)
- Somewhat more Palestinians interviewed that Israelis in BBC English; far more Palestinians thanIsraelis in BBC Arabic.
- For interviewees from neither side, the vast majority were anti-Israel.
- Interviewees were treated as unbiased when they were actually pro-Hamas, and many who had affiliations with Hamas were not identified as such.
- Violations of BBC guidelines in omitting information: not mentioning the genocidal Hamas charter, not mentioning that Hamas ran a dictatorship in Gaza, refusing to admit there is no press freedom in Gaza, little information on the hostage ordeal, little mention on Israeli socio-economic hardships or 200,000 Israelis displaced during the war
- Associating Israel with "war crimes" far, far more than Hamas.
- Huge number of corrections of original presumed death toll of October 7 in Israel but very few similar corrections after the fact of Hamas lies like the Al Ahli Hospital rocket strike.
- Consistently favoring Hamas casualty numbers over Israeli estimates, directly violating BBC policy.

Investigation: 'How Wikipedia Became a Propaganda Site.
For a long time, I thought of Wikipedia as a miracle of the internet age: a free, crowd-sourced encyclopedia that I could access any time, anywhere. Was it perfect? No. Would I quote it? No. But it seemed reasonably objective and fair-minded—its hive mind far less biased than so many sources of online information.
But the Wikipedia dream seems to have soured. What was once a democratic effort—powered by hundreds of thousands of volunteer editors—to describe the world as accurately as possible has curdled into something else. Not a collective attempt to see the world as it is, but a place where busybodies with too much time on their hands force their worldview on the rest of us.
And signs of the rot are everywhere.
Take recent changes to Wikipedia’s “Zionism” page. In 2023, it began as follows: “Zionism is a nationalist movement that emerged in the 19th century to espouse support for the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine, a region roughly corresponding to the Land of Israel in Jewish tradition.” But, around 2 p.m. yesterday, the first sentence of the same page was changed to this: “Zionism is an ethno-cultural nationalist movement that emerged in Europe in the late 19th century and aimed for the establishment of a Jewish state through the colonization of land outside Europe.” The idea of Zionism as ethno-nationalist colonization isn’t exactly an impartial read on the situation. In fact, it sounds like something you’d hear at an anti-Israel protest.
Or take this recent investigation by the Substacker Tracing Woodgrains into one Wikipedia admin called David Gerard. It shows just how much influence the biases and grudges of one man can have over the sources Wikipedia deems reliable and unreliable. Deep in the weeds of Wikipedia, Gerard discredits publications that offend his worldview—designating them “unreliable” so they can’t be used for citations. (The Free Press is one of several publications Gerard objects to.) As Tracing Woodgrains puts it: “Those who master the bureaucracy in behind-the-scenes janitorial battles. . . define the public’s first impressions of whatever they care about.”

Hezbollah commander, Ibrahim Aqil, the Hezbollah operations commander was eliminated in an Israeli strike. He had a $7 million bounty on his head for two 1983 Beirut truck bombings that killed more than 300 people at the American embassy and a U.S. Marines barracks. Aqil, with the top leadership of the terror group’s operations array and elite Radwan Force, gathered underground, below a residential building, when they were targeted. “They gathered underground, under a residential building, in the heart of the Dahiyeh, while using civilians as a human shield. They met to coordinate terror activities against Israeli civilians." "The Hezbollah officials who were eliminated planned to carry out an operation in the north similar to October 7."

Israel has ‘legitimate problem’ with Hezbollah on border, says US secretary of state Blinken.
“Israel’s got a legitimate problem here. Starting on 8 October, Hezbollah in the north, from southern Lebanon, started lobbing rockets and missiles into Israel,” he said. “People living in northern Israel had to flee their homes – about 70,000 – and Israel understandably, legitimately, wants a secure environment so people can return home... The best way to get that is through diplomacy, an agreement to pull back forces, allow people to return home in northern Israel – also many Lebanese in southern Lebanon forced from their homes. We want to get people back home. The best way to do that is not war; it’s diplomacy.”
Blinken also affirmed that it was Hamas, and not Israel, that was holding up a ceasefire agreement in Gaza – the precondition set by Hezbollah to stop the fighting with Israel.
Insisting 15 of the 18 paragraphs in the ceasefire agreement had been signed off, he said: “The problem we have right now is that Hamas hasn’t been engaging on it for the last couple of weeks, and its leader has been talking about an endless war of attrition. Now, if he really cares about the Palestinian people, he’d bring this agreement over the finish line...
Hard decisions remain to be made by Israel. But the problem right now in terms of bringing this across the finish line is Hamas, its refusal to engage in a meaningful way.”..
The Israeli ambassador to the UN, Daniel Meron, said: “We have been restrained now for 12 months, but … life in the north of Israel has to go back to what it was.”

Netanyahu at UN: I have a message to the world - we are winning.
The Prime Minister spoke at the General Assembly of the UN, against the backdrop of escalating conflict with Hezbollah and nearly a year of fighting in the Gaza Strip.
After nearly a year since the outbreak of the war, and in the height of the conflict with Hezbollah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke today (Friday) at the UN General Assembly. In his speech, he addressed the continuation of the fighting in Lebanon and the Iranian threat.
"On October 7th, terrorists invaded Israel and inflicted the worst atrocities imaginable. We will not rest until the remaining hostages are brought home," he declared.
"I have with me family members of the hostages. I promise all families, we will return your loved ones home. We will not stop until this is accomplished."
"We are facing the curse of Iran or the blessing of Jew and Arab," Netanyahu stated, while displaying maps of two possible futures in the Middle East - one showing normalization with Arab countries, the other showing continued war against Iran and its allies. "Israel seeks peace, Israel makes peace, and Israel will make peace again."
"Iran funds terror networks on five continents. For too long, the world has appeased Iran. That appeasement must end now."
"I call on the Security Council to stop support for Iran, we must ensure that Iran never gets nuclear weapons. Iran's militia have targeted us as well. Residents of Judea and Samaria have also attacked Israel."
My message to Tehran: "If you strike us, we will strike you. We will reach everywhere in the Middle East."
United States President Joe Biden addressed the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, which was opened in New York for the 79th time, discussing his vision for the future of the United States and the conflict in Israel.
"The nations of the world must not ignore the horrors that were committed on October 7," he said.
"Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and slaughtered 1,200 people, including people who were dancing at a party, and committed acts of rape and sexual violence. I met with families of the hostages who are enduring unimaginable suffering."
"Terrorists steal food that we allow into Gaza, then they hype the prices, and that's how they stay in power. Hamas has got to go."
"This war can come to an end now - Hamas has to surrender, lay down its arms and release all the hostages!"
"On the day after the massacre, Hezbollah attacked Israel causing thousands of Israelis to be displaced. This has been going on for almost a year. The US would not accept this for even a day."

"What choice would the world make - stand with a democracy and peace or a country that supports terror?"
"Even in this hall - evil is portrayed as good and good is portrayed as evil. This is an absurdity - that all that we do - bringing food into Gaza - and we are portrayed as evil. No army has done what Israel has done to protect civilians."
"I spoke from this podium, as Ambassador to the UN, in 1984 - 40 years ago. Then I spoke against a proposal to expel Israel from the UN. Now I am talking against the same proposal - not by Hamas, but by Mahmoud Abbas, who is supposed to be our peace partner."
"During that speech, I told everyone - check your fanaticism at the door. And today I say the same. For the Palestinians this home of darkness is their home court."
"The ICC does not consider Israel the democracy that it is. The real criminals are in Gaza, Iran, Yemen."
"Those who stand with the side of evil, should be ashamed of yourselves. Israel will win this battle - because we don't have a choice. After generations where we were slaughtered and nobody stood up for us - we are now defending ourselves."
"The torch of Israel will shine forever. Am Yisrael Chai."

"The court refuses to treat Israel like other democracies - it is impossible not to call it pure anti-Semitism," said the Prime Minister and added: "The amount of condemnations against Israel in the UN is unlike anything else the UN condemns.

Overview - Hassan Nasrallah: Terror chief made Hezbollah a regional force, ignored Israeli warnings. Lebanese cleric, 64, was threatening public face of anti-Israel Hezbollah terror group founded by Iran. Was killed by IDF after intensifying rocket attacks on north since Oct. 8 Nasrallah became secretary general of Hezbollah in 1992 at just 35, the public face of a once shadowy group founded by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in 1982 to fight Israel. It was the first group that Iran backed and used as a way to export its brand of political Islam. Despite the power he wielded, Nasrallah lived largely in hiding for fear of an Israeli assassination. Israel killed his predecessor, Sayyed Abbas al-Musawi, in a helicopter attack. Nasrallah led Hezbollah when the IDF withdrew its forces from southern Lebanon in 2000, after 18 years. Nasrallah grew up in Beirut’s impoverished Karantina district. His family hails from Bazouriyeh, a village in Lebanon’s predominantly Shiite south which today forms Hezbollah’s political heartland. He is part of a generation of young Lebanese Shiites whose political outlook was shaped by Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. Before leading the group, he used to spend nights with frontline guerrillas fighting Israel in the so-called security stone that the IDF had set up inside southern Lebanon to distance terror groups from the border. His 18-year-old son, Hadi, a Hezbollah fighter, was killed with three other gunmen in an Israeli ambush in 1997, a loss that gave him legitimacy among his core Shiite constituency in Lebanon. Among supporters, Nasrallah was lauded for standing up to Israel and defying the United States. To enemies, he was head of a terrorist organization seeking to destroy the Jewish state and a proxy for Iran’s rapacious Shiite Islamist theocracy in its tussle for influence in the Middle East. His regional influence has been on display over nearly a year of conflict ignited by the Gaza war, as Hezbollah entered the fray by firing on Israel from southern Lebanon in support of its Palestinian ally Hamas, and Yemeni and Iraqi groups followed suit, operating under the umbrella of “The Axis of Resistance.” Hezbollah began firing rockets at Israel on October 8, the day after the Hamas massacre in southern Israel that killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. “We are facing a great battle,” Nasrallah said in an August 1 speech at the funeral of Hezbollah’s top military commander, Fuad Shukr, who was killed in an Israeli strike on the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut. Yet when thousands of Hezbollah members were injured and dozens killed, when their communications devices exploded in an apparent Israeli attack last week, that battle began to turn against his group. Israel has not commented on the attack, even though it was widely blamed for it. Responding to the attacks on Hezbollah’s communications network in a September 19 speech, Nasrallah vowed to punish Israel. “This is a reckoning that will come, its nature, its size, how and where? This is certainly what we will keep to ourselves and in the narrowest circle even within ourselves,” he said. He did not have a broadcast address since then. Conflict with Israel has largely defined his leadership. He declared “Divine Victory” in 2006 after Hezbollah waged 34 days of war with Israel, winning the respect of many ordinary Arabs who had grown up watching Israel defeat their armies. But he became an increasingly divisive figure in Lebanon and the wider Arab world as Hezbollah’s area of operations widened to Syria and beyond, reflecting an intensifying conflict between Shiite Iran and US-allied Sunni Arab monarchies in the Gulf. While Nasrallah painted Hezbollah’s engagement in Syria — where it fought in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the civil war — as a campaign against jihadists, critics accused the group of becoming part of a regional sectarian conflict. At home, Nasrallah’s critics said Hezbollah’s regional adventurism imposed an unbearable price on Lebanon, leading once-friendly Gulf Arabs to shun the country — a factor that contributed to its 2019 financial collapse. In the years following the 2006 war, Nasrallah walked a tightrope over a new conflict with Israel, stockpiling tens of thousands of Iranian rockets and missiles to form a deterrent “balance of terror” in a carefully measured contest of threat and counter-threat. The Gaza war, ignited by the October 7 Hamas invasion and slaughter in southern Israel, prompted Hezbollah’s worst conflict with Israel since 2006, after the terrorist organization began raining down barrages of projectiles and drones on northern Israel. Some 60,000 Israelis have been forced from their homes, and Israel stepped up its attacks on Hezbollah in a declared effort to enable their return. The IDF’s retaliation to the Hezbollah strikes has cost the terror group hundreds of its fighters, including many of its top commanders. After years of entanglements elsewhere, the conflict put renewed focus on Hezbollah’s historic struggle with Israel. “We are here paying the price for our front of support for Gaza, and for the Palestinian people, and our adoption of the Palestinian cause,” Nasrallah said in the August 1 speech. Nasrallah had a track record of threatening powerful enemies. As regional tensions escalated after the eruption of the Gaza war, Nasrallah issued a thinly veiled warning to US warships in the Mediterranean, telling them: “We have prepared for the fleets with which you threaten us.” In 2020, Nasrallah vowed that US soldiers would leave the region in coffins after Iranian general Qassem Soleimani — head of the Quds Force of the IRGC, a US-designated terror group — was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq. He expressed fierce opposition to Saudi Arabia over its armed intervention in Yemen, where, with US and other allied support, Riyadh sought to roll back the Iran-aligned Houthis. As regional tensions rose in 2019 following an attack on Saudi oil facilities, he said Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates should halt the Yemen war to protect themselves. “Don’t bet on a war against Iran because they will destroy you,” he said in a message directed at Riyadh. On Nasrallah’s watch, Hezbollah also clashed with adversaries at home in Lebanon. In 2008, he accused the Lebanese government — backed at the time by the West and Saudi Arabia — of declaring war by moving to ban his group’s internal communication network. Nasrallah vowed to “cut off the hand” that tried to dismantle it. It prompted four days of civil war pitting Hezbollah against Sunni and Druze fighters, and the Shiite group to take over half the capital Beirut. He strongly denied any Hezbollah involvement in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik al-Hariri, after a UN-backed tribunal indicted four members of the group. Nasrallah rejected the tribunal — which in 2020 eventually convicted three of them in absentia over the assassination — as a tool in the hands of Hezbollah’s enemies. Israel in recent days and weeks had vowed to gradually escalate its attacks on Hezbollah unless it halted its rocket fire and entered a diplomatic process for withdrawing its forces deeper into Lebanon. Nasrallah ignored the threat and the escalating attacks. On Friday, in a speech to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel “must defeat” Hezbollah. “It has tentacles that span all continents. It has murdered more Americans and more Frenchmen than any group except Bin Laden,” he said. “And it has attacked Israel viciously over the last 20 years.” “In the last year, completely unprovoked,” he went on, Hezbollah’s attacks “turned vibrant towns in the north of Israel into ghost towns… Israel has been tolerating this intolerable situation for nearly a year. Well, I’ve come here today to say enough is enough.” Shortly before delivering the speech, Netanyahu had approved the deadly strike on Nasrallah.
US' Biden and Harris call the Israeli strike killing Hezbollah’s Nasrallah a ‘measure of justice’. “Nasrallah, the next day, made the fateful decision to join hands with Hamas and open what he called a ‘northern front’ against Israel,” Biden said in a statement.
He also noted that Hezbollah under Nasrallah’s watch has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, Israelis and Lebanese.
Lebanese Shiite scholar and former acquaintance wrote, "We began our journey together," but Nasrallah chose Iran over the Arabs. "You, however, post-liberation, fell into Iran's embrace...I forewarned you of the impending destruction that would befall you and the Lebanese people."

'New Order': IDF announces name of Friday Beirut strike eliminating Hezbollah leader Nasrallah.
Some preliminary insights into the "New Order" in the Middle East:
Within two weeks, Israel managed to break into pieces the most significant Iranian arm , in a series of moves that the word "genius" is a few measures short of.
-Nasrallah and the top left of the organization would not come together to the headquarters for the meeting . This was made possible by a deception exercise from the most sophisticated in the history of talks about a ceasefire and Netanyahu's trip, who gave a rather banal speech at the UN. They thought that against the background of global pressures to stop the war, and to take the foot off the gas that was manifested in Netanyahu's trip, it would be possible to come to the headquarters and enjoy the speech. They were a little wrong.
-It was impossible to go out to eliminate Nasrallah when his entire system was in place, because we would have taken unimaginable amounts of missiles on our heads and paid huge prices. We had to first deal a fatal blow to their precise and long-range launch capabilities.
-It was impossible to break these capabilities as long as Radwan's force sat on the border and was able to invade the Galilee. It was necessary to hurt him significantly. Indeed, most of his commanders were eliminated with Ibrahim Akil in Beirut.
-It was impossible to carry out this elimination as long as Hezbollah was an organized and hierarchical organization with enormous capabilities. The top command of the organization had to be hit and this was done by the unbelievable operation of the pagers and walkie-talkies. The loss of trust in electronic means of communication meant that they had to gather together, and there they were eliminated together, again and again.
All of this could not have been accomplished without intelligence at an unprecedented level, through which Israel simply knows everything and only chooses the timing of each action.
All this could not have been accomplished without the imaginative capabilities of the Air Force.
It was impossible to do this if they did not prepare enough armaments for Lebanon in advance, and probably for Iran as well, and not be dependent on American pressure. In Gaza they underestimated Hamas and did not prepare anything, and there a dependency was created. In Lebanon it is a completely different story.
And this is the place to compliment the Aman, the Mossad, the IDF, all the commanders, the government and the prime minister. Yes, yes, all those reviled, quite rightly, should now receive applause when it comes, and the day is very, very coming.
One of the results of the new situation is that Israel announced through the communication of the Beirut airport control tower that it must not allow an approaching Iranian plane to land, and on the order of the Lebanese Minister of Transport, who is a representative of Hezbollah, the plane turned around and returned. Someone new is handing out the instructions in Lebanon starting this morning.
Hezbollah is now reacting like a snake whose head has been cut off. Twisting, twisting but not really existing.

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.

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.'

Over these images, there is text in both Farsi and 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.'

AJC: 5 Things to Know About Hamas Terror Leader Yahya Sinwar, ‘The Architect of October 7’:
-Founding Role in Hamas.
-The Butcher of Khan Younis.
-The Eyes of a Murderer.
-The Architect of the October 7 Massacre.
-Palestinian Civilians are “Necessary Sacrifices”.
The top terrorists who have been eliminated, so far, since October 7th, Israel has settled the score with several of the massacre's leading architects:
-On October 17th, 2023, an IDF airstrike eliminated Ayman Nofel, who served as the commander of Hamas' Central Camps Brigade and had in the past served as the organization's intelligence commander. Israel considered him to be one of the organization's "aces."
-On November 26th, 2023, Israel settled the score with another Hamas "ace" - Ahmed Ghandour. He served as the commander of the Northern Gaza Brigade and oversaw all terror operations in the northern Gaza Strip.
-On January 2nd, 2024, Saleh al-Arouri, the organization's deputy leader and one of the architects of the massacre, met his end in an airstrike in the Dahieh suburb of Lebanon.
-On March 26th, 2024, the IDF confirmed that it eliminated Marwan Issa, the deputy to the commander of Hamas' militant wing, Mohammed Deif. Issa was considered Hamas' chief of staff. He was one of the planners of October 7th and was even part of the command over it. Together with him, the IDF also eliminated Razi Abu Tama'ah who served in senior positions in the militant wing.
-On July 13, 2024, an IAF airstrike eliminated Mohammed Deif, the commander of the Hamas militant wing and one of the organization's symbols. For years, Deif managed to escape assassination attempts and continued to direct deadly terror attacks.
-On July 31st, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was eliminated in Tehran. In the final years of his life, he lived in Qatar where he continued to direct terror operations.
-On October 3rd, the IDF confirmed that senior Hamas official Rawhi Mushtaha, who was known as Sinwar's right hand, was eliminated in a tunnel in the Gaza Strip. Mushtaha was eliminated during the summer, but the official announcement only came once Israel was able to confirm.
Netanyahu: Oct. 7 architect ‘was eliminated when he fled in panic’ from IDF; tells those holding hostages to put down their weapons and they can live; says war is not yet finished.
In a long and historic speech, Prime Minister Netanyahu officially announced the elimination of the master murderer Yahya Sinwar and said: "I stand before you today to inform you that Yahya Sinwar has been eliminated. The one who committed the most terrible massacre in our nation's history since the Holocaust, the master murderer who murdered thousands of Israelis and kidnapped hundreds of our citizens, has been eliminated", then he made an offer to the terrorists who hold the hostages as well as to the peoples of the area. "Citizens of Israel," Netanyahu began and said: "A year ago we celebrated Sukkot. At that exact time, Yahya Sinwar was engaged in final preparations for the Ooctober 7th massacre...m The person who committed the most terrible massacre in the history of our nation since the Holocaust, the mass murderer who murdered thousands of Israelis and kidnapped hundreds of our citizens, was eliminated today by our heroic soldiers. "And today," the prime minister added, saying: "As we promised to do, we have come to terms with him. Today evil has suffered a severe blow, but the task before us is not yet complete." "To the dear families of the abductees I say," Netanyahu addressed the families and said: "This is an important moment in the war. We will continue with all our strength until the return home of all your loved ones, who are our loved ones. This is our highest obligation. This is my highest obligation." "I say to the residents of Gaza," said the Prime Minister: "Sinwar ruined your lives. He told you he was a lion, but in reality he was hiding in a dark den - and he was killed when he fled in panic from our soldiers. His death is an important milestone in the downfall of the evil rule of Hamas." "I would like to say again," Netanyahu said to the camera: "In the clearest form: Hamas will no longer rule Gaza. This is the beginning of the day after Hamas, and this is an opportunity for you, the residents of Gaza, to finally be freed from its tyranny. To the terrorists of Hamas, I say: Your leaders are fleeing and they will be eliminated, The prime minister also said: "I call on everyone who holds our hostages: Whoever lays down his weapon and returns our hostages - we will allow him to leave and live. And in the same way I say: whoever harms our hostages - blood on his head. We will come to terms with him. The return of our hostages is an opportunity to achieve all our goals and it is brings the end of the war closer." He added: "To the people of the region I say: in Gaza, in Beirut, throughout the entire region - the darkness recedes and the light rises. Deif, Haniya, Sinwar, Nasrallah, Mohsen (Shukr), Akil and many of their partners - are gone. I call to you, people of the region: we have a great opportunity before us To curb the axis of evil and create a different future. A future of peace, a future of prosperity in the entire region. Together we can repel the curse and promote the blessing." "Now," Netanyahu explained, "it is clear to everyone, in Israel and in the world, why we insisted on not ending the war. Why, in the face of all the pressures, we did insist on entering Rafah, the fortified stronghold of Hamas where Sinouar and many of the murderers hid. I wish to express my deep appreciation to my fighters The IDF and the Shin Bet and their commanders, for their determined and courageous action. There are no better than them." "Today," he added, "once again we made it clear what happens to those who harm us. Today we once again showed the world the victory of good over evil. But the war, my dears, is not over yet. It is hard, and it exacts a heavy price from us. I wish to express my condolences from the bottom of my heart To the families who lost their loved ones, I would like to embrace the families of our fallen heroes, including in recent days, bringing us closer to victory... As King David said: 'I will hunt down my enemies and destroy them, and I will not return until they are all.' And with God's help - together we will win."
(So far, no response regarding Netanyahu's generous offer of free pass for those laying out their weapons, free the hostages).
MK Tali Gottlieb in an unusual appeal to the residents of Gaza: "This is your only chance

She revealed that the Israeli government offers a financial incentive to anyone who will assist in the return of live abductees: 2 million shekels in cash for every live abductee returned to the IDF. In addition, the Israeli government will also pay a million shekels for the bodies of abductees.
She also stated that Gazans who return abductees to the IDF will not be harmed, and may even leave for a third country if necessary, while promising to maintain their freedom. "You have the opportunity to buy your freedom," Gottlieb stressed.
"The Israeli government will not let up, and will continue to attack Gaza until all of its abductees are returned," Gottlieb added, and ended by blessing the IDF fighters: "God bless our brave fighters on the various fronts, who restore security and deterrence to the State of Israel."

NY Post cover: 'Rat in a hole.'
La Stampa: "Da Mussolini a Yahya I Corpi de Male"
Forensic pathologist Dr. Chen Kugel: Sinwar has been dying for a few hours. What killed him was a bullet that entered his head. The director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Abu Kabir who dissected Sinwar's body said: "It is not standard to dissect such a person. It's only when you go outside and think about who this man is that you realize that even monsters can look like normal people." The primary cause of Sinwar's death appears to be a long-range gunshot wound to the head, executed with sniper-like precision. He was first wounded by shrapnel, notes he tried to use makeshift tourniquet but ‘it wasn’t strong enough, and his forearm was smashed’.
'Surprisingly, despite the harsh conditions of underground warfare, Sinwar's body showed no signs of malnourishment. Weighing in at 152 pounds, it appears that even while orchestrating operations from hidden tunnels, the Hamas leader maintained access to adequate nutrition.'
Although the encounter itself in Sinwar was random, the southern command assumed that something was happening there - and decided to use a ruse like they did with Muhammad Deif.
Time magazine features elimination of Sinwar on cover.
The soldiers hung a sign on the house where Sinwar was taken down:

A video of Israeli missile demolishing a Hezbollah building is worth more than a thousand words. It shows Israel's unsurpassed morality in waging war. Normally, when a building is demolished in a controlled implosion, it takes a team of structural engineers to study it ahead of time and to strategically place many explosives throughout the building to minimize damage.
Here, the IDF clearly had enough intel to know exactly how the building was built, and they used single missile shot exactly at the right place to take it down - not topple it but have it pancake straight down - with practically no damage to the buildings right next to it.
Of course, Israel gave warning beforehand because it was targeting a Hezbollah weapons depot, not people. No one was injured.

Article: "How the ‘Grey Lady’ cover of Sinwar's elimination ran true to form.
The New York Times motto means the paper’s business is bias. Truth is an after-thought. And if it takes bias to grow the bottom line, and satisfy investors, editorial staff are at liberty to lie through their teeth.
What fool would take a motto at face value. One for cornflakes – possibly. The motto of a paper for elites educated on bedrocks of progressive dogma is as likely to speak truth as their debacle-plagued campaigner for the White House.
The New York Times, commonly known as 'The Grey Lady', coined a motto in 1897, and there it is today, on the masthead. The gullible are free to believe in “All the news that’s fit to print,” though let them beware: the media is in the business of bias. On top of which “fit to print” means ...What? Fit for subscribers? Fit for shareholders? The answer requires journeying to the deceiving heart of the Grey Lady gargoyle.
“On the run.” “Hurt.” “Alone.” “Defiant.” Such adjectives could suitably apply to the titanic last stand of Boer War General Christiaan de Wet, saddled on his noble horse as he surrenders to Lord Kitchener’s juggernaut, the pride of King and countrymen. But guess what. The Times used those words when it was reporting the demise of Islam’s Hitler trapped like a rat in ruins of his own devise.
That was just the headline. Beneath its flights of fancy, embedded phraseology soars into outer space. The special talents of Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda guru, were not superior by much. It does not stop there.
A confirmation trial: what is amiss about making Yahya Sinwar a “militant leader”? Nothing, if you kept consistent. Consistency would require the Democrat’s bible to posthumously bestow the honorific, “Militant” on the Commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, so no one can nitpick the Times engraving “Militant” on Sinwar the baddy’s gravestone.
How equivalent were the pair? Time Magazine has treated them pretty much as club buddies. It bid Sinwar goodbye with the iconic ‘Red X’ it used to mark the demise of affiliated monsters, Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Of Sinwar we might say that he more than earned his club colours. Höss probably also had toddlers roasted alive, heaping their grey ash onto that from their moms and dads. Though perhaps on two metrics Yahya the “militant” out-performed Rudolf. Decapitation and necrophilia seemed to have been a bridge too far, in Auschwitz even.
At what language trickery would the Grey Lady go so far and no further?
By selecting “attack” to describe the barbarity of Oct 7, editors hadn’t breached the borderline of bias. They had not done with sick equivalents. A time warp alert: the Russian Civil war produced untold pogroms in Ukraine. A most gruesome one was committed in the town of Tetiiv where the Jews were burnt alive inside a locked synagogue. The estimated toll of 1,127 is eerily reminiscent of Oct 7. Had the Times reported this pogrom it would have used the word “attack” it chose for its Sinwar tribute..'

Sen. Lindsey Graham is demanding answers on reporting that British International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan was accused of misconduct at the same time he was pursuing criminal charges against Israeli officials.
"Public reports indicate that allegations of harassment surfaced in early May – just a few days before Prosecutor Khan applied for arrest warrants against the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense of Israel for alleged violations of law during the defensive Israeli-Hamas War," Graham, R-S.C., wrote in a letter. "The timing of the allegations is troubling, and only compounds the other strong legal, jurisdictional, and prudential objections I have expressed regarding the Prosecutor’s decision to seek arrest warrants."
On May 20, Khan requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif. All three Hamas leaders have been killed in the past year.
Khan’s application was unprecedented – the first time the criminal court had sought arrests for Western-allied officials.
Prior to Khan’s warrants, he along with a group of senators was working to urge Khan to "adhere to the Rome Statute" and have a dialogue with Israeli officials before moving forward with their prosecution.
On that very day, Khan was set to travel to Israel to meet with officials before deciding whether to move forward with the warrant requests. But he never showed up. He publicly announced his warrant requests without any warning to the Israelis who had planned to make their case against them.
"It has now come to my attention through media reports that Prosecutor Khan was facing allegations of misconduct around the same time, and the resolution of this matter remains a mystery," the senator wrote in the letter. "The abrupt decision to cancel this visit to Israel, along with these contemporaneous allegations needs to be explained, and I request full transparency on the matter to ensure there is no conflict of interest."
Graham said he was "shocked" to learn Khan never showed up for his trip to Israel. "It was a complete change of what we were told that was going to happen, and we never really understood what happened – never made sense to me."
But last week, the Mail reported that around the same time, a female employee with the court informed senior managers about harassment claims made by another female employee against Khan. The woman "was so upset she was in tears."
Report: Warrants for Israeli leaders a smokescreen for ICC prosecutor's sex scandal. Wall Street Journal report says Karim Khan, when confronted with sexual harassment allegations, initially said he'd 'have to resign' but instead allegedly threatened victim and witnesses; days later, he announced warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. Also: 'Anti-Israel animus is sufficient to explain Mr. Khan’s pursuit of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant—especially while leaving untouched their political rival, Benny Gantz, who was the final member of Israel’s war cabinet and also signed off on its decisions.'

Francesca Albanese knowingly supports Hamas and other terrorist groups. In November 2022, Albanese participated in an official conference of Hamas, a designated terrorist group in the U.S., Canada, European Union, Australia and other countries. Speaking by video, she told the assembled terrorists, “You have a right to resist this occupation.” She added: “Israel says ‘resistance equals terrorism,’ but an occupation requires violence and generates violence.”
Albanese participated in the Hamas conference together with Ghazi Hamad, former Hamas Deputy Foreign Minister; Abd al-Latif al-Qanu, Hamas spokesperson; Ahmad al-Mudallal, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) leader; Khadr Habib, PIJ leader in Gaza; as well as Basem Naim and Isam al-Da’alis from Hamas. (November 2022).
Likewise, Albanese is well aware that her reports and statements are regularly used and relied upon by terrorist groups and their sponsors to justify terrorist attacks against Israelis and Jews.'
Article: 'On Simchat Torah, We Mourn — But Also Hope..
In his 2016 book Essays on Ethics, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks wrote, “A people that can know insecurity and still feel joy is one that can never be defeated, for its spirit can never be broken nor its hope destroyed.”
This year, as Simchat Torah draws near, we are painfully reminded that joy and suffering often coexist. While it is a staple of the human condition for Jews, this paradox echoes relentlessly throughout our history.
In the Diaspora, we will feel this contrast differently. Shmini Atzeret — a day marked by solemnity with Yizkor and the prayer for rain — falls on the anniversary of October 7th. Only the second evening transitions into the joy of Simchat Torah.
In Israel, however, the two days merge into one, with the solemnity of Shmini Atzeret intertwined with the joy of Simchat Torah. This year, embracing the usual high spirits will be incredibly challenging for Israelis. The weight of national grief hangs heavy; indeed, no Simchat Torah will ever be the same again.
When we danced with the Torahs last year, despite knowing that a terrible attack was unfolding, the full extent of the horror was not yet clear. It was only after Simchat Torah ended that the devastating truth began to emerge: 1,200 people tortured, murdered, and mutilated; families torn apart; and hostages dragged into Gaza.
In the months since, every painful detail has come to light, making it nearly impossible to embrace the unrestrained joy that typically defines Simchat Torah. How can we celebrate when every smile is shadowed by memory, and every song tinged with sorrow?
And yet, my late mother’s story comes to mind — her first Simchat Torah after the Holocaust, celebrated in the city of her birth: Rotterdam, Holland. It offers a profound lesson for us today.
My mother was born in 1941, a year after my grandparents married during the Nazi occupation. The Nazis invaded Holland in May 1940, and began deporting Jews to concentration camps in 1942.
Fearing for their lives, my grandparents went into hiding, spending more than two years in a cramped space behind a closet in the home of a gentile friend. My grandfather, active in the Dutch resistance, emerged only at night to carry out covert missions against the Nazis — knowing the risks but refusing to submit to despair.
Meanwhile, my mother was taken in by a Christian couple who raised her as their own, shielding her from the terrors outside. After the war, they returned her to her parents.
When the Nazis were defeated by the Allies in May 1945, Jewish life in Rotterdam began to re-emerge, although only a fraction of the community remained — 75% of Dutch Jewry, more than 100,000 people, had perished in Auschwitz, Sobibor, and other camps.
That fall, the synagogue reopened, and Simchat Torah was celebrated once more. The Torah scrolls my grandfather had hidden with gentile friends were retrieved. Miraculously, Rabbi Levie “Lou” Vorst, who had survived Bergen-Belsen and the infamous “Lost Train,” stood at the helm of the diminished community.
But the celebration was bittersweet. Almost everyone in the synagogue had lost parents, siblings, spouses, or children. My grandparents had lost their parents, siblings, and their second child, my uncle Yitzchak, who had died of malnutrition during the war.
And yet, they danced. Survivors — many without homes or families — clung to the Torah scrolls as if their lives depended on it. My mother, only four years old, stood quietly in the synagogue, receiving candy from weeping survivors. With each piece placed in her open mouth, the message was clear: the future must be sweet, even when the past has been unbearably bitter...'
Article: 'Simchat Torah 5785: Sinwar will not take the holiday from us again. Sinwar robbed us of our lives, but we must not let him rob us of our holidays, the source of our strength as a nation. This year, we all have to dance twice as hard and make up for the joy that was taken from us last year.'

UN Watch calls for sanctions against Francesca Albanese over antisemitism and terrorism support. UN Watch report exposes Francesca Albanese's antisemitism, support for terrorism, and financial misconduct.
A report by United Nations Watch on Wednesday is urging democratic nations to impose sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, accusing her of promoting antisemitism, supporting terrorism, and spreading misinformation.
Titled "Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: Why Democracies Should Sanction UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese," the report was presented to the UN Human Rights Council on October 23, 2024.
The report calls for Albanese's removal, citing a series of statements and actions that violate UN impartiality standards and promote hatred against Israel and the Jewish people. UN Watch, a Geneva-based human rights group, demands swift action to terminate her mandate.
The report identifies numerous instances in which Albanese has been accused of using antisemitic rhetoric. In a 2014 Facebook post, Albanese claimed, “America is subjugated by the Jewish Lobby,” a classic antisemitic trope suggesting Jewish control of governments. In another incident from February 2024, she downplayed the atrocities of the October 7 Hamas massacre, dismissing it as a “reaction to Israel’s oppression,” even after Hamas targeted Jewish civilians in the deadliest attack against Jews since the Holocaust. France called her remarks "scandalous" and "a disgrace," while Germany condemned them as "appalling."
The report also cites Albanese’s frequent comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany. In July 2024, she reportedly compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler. In another instance, she described Gaza as “the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century,” which UN Watch notes is a textbook case of antisemitism under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield condemned Albanese, declaring, “It is clear she is not fit for this or any position at the UN.” The US Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, also called out her statements as “blatant antisemitic rhetoric.”
In addition to her antisemitic rhetoric, Albanese has openly supported terrorism, the report states. At a 2022 Hamas conference, she told the audience, “You have a right to resist,” an endorsement of violent resistance, according to the report. She has repeatedly justified Hamas rocket attacks against Israeli civilians, framing them as legitimate responses to Israel’s actions. Albanese is quoted in the report as saying, “The Palestinians have no other room for dissent than violence.”

A little over a year (on the Hebrew calendar) since the Oct 7 attack on Simchat Torah: Israel strikes Iranian precise military targets in hours-long waves of attacks. Responding to its aggression. Zero interceptions by Iran. IDF says in a statement that Israel's defensive capabilities are fully mobilized. The IDF said Israel began was conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran. "The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th – on seven fronts – including direct attacks from Iranian soil. Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond," the military said in a statement. "Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized. We will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel.

20 different targets were hit, though Tehran downplayed the situation in the morning, given warnings they received from the U.S. against a possible response.
Israeli precise strikes on Iran completed. It went on for over 3 hours, across three separate waves, dozens of Israeli Air Force fighter jets and aircraft targeted military complexes, air defense systems - first, S-300 air defense battery at Tehran airport, then missile production facilities, and surface-to-surface missile launchers in Tehran, as well as in the Khuzestan and Ilam provinces in western Iran. In all 20 targets were hit. At least 3 IRGC missile bases targeted; Israeli drones attacked secret Parchin military base, at least one hit. On NYT reported from IRGC Israeli attack on Parchin base in Iran, aside from developing missile & suicide drone tech, site was also used for nuclear work; bombing Parchin could disrupt Iran’s ability to carry out nuclear tests.
The Islamic Republic, after first downplaying it, it then decided to threaten retaliation.

Report: Israel designed attack so Iran could 'deny major damage'.
Timeline:
About 900 miles from Israel, in the early hours of Saturday, precisely 25 days after Iran's ballistic missile attack, reports of explosions in Iran began to emerge at 2:00 AM - Israel time, signaling the start of Israel's counterattack. -The first wave began, as mentioned, at 2:00 AM (Israeli time) with reports of explosions in Tehran, as well as in Syria and Iraq, leading to the closure of their airspace. Reports indicated that this wave primarily targeted air defense systems in all three countries, likely to allow Israeli Air Force aircraft the freedom to proceed with their strikes. However, at the time, the situation was unclear: with the sound of explosions, frightened residents in Iran took to the streets, fearing that airports in the Iranian capital might have been hit. -Shortly afterward, around 2:30 AM, the IDF spokesperson officially confirmed: "The IDF is carrying out precise military strikes in Iran, in response to the ongoing attacks by the Iranian regime against the State of Israel in recent months, in accordance with the directive of the political echelon." IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated in an English-language declaration to the foreign media that Israel "has the right and obligation to respond" to Iran, "like any other sovereign country in the world." He noted the strike is a response to months of Iranian actions against Israel since October 7, including those by its proxies. At this stage, the Iranians focused on downplaying the events, with reports from the country stating that the source of the explosion sounds was the air defense systems intercepting the IDF attack. BBC noted shortly afterward that it was unclear which sites were hit in Iran, as Tehran claimed that routine life continued, and Israel did not disclose what it was targeting other than "military targets." -Around 3:00 AM, it was reported that President Joe Biden was "closely updated" on the developments. About half an hour later, the Pentagon clarified that the U.S. was not involved in the strike in Iran, although it was informed about it. Israel, in fact, shared with the U.S. what it planned to do and did not surprise it despite Pentagon document leaks. -At 4:15 AM, further reports indicated that President Biden and Vice President Harris were updated on the attack. Documenting the damage south of Tehran Despite this, until almost 4:00 AM, global media continued to report it was still unclear what was hit and where, also noting Syria reported Israeli airstrikes hitting military sites in its center and south. Then, reports of another wave of attacks in Iran surfaced, along with footage of interception attempts in the skies. In this wave, Israel hit Iranian surface-to-surface missile production facilities, with an informed Israeli source stating, "The intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Directorate in this event is science fiction beyond all imagination. The hit on factories producing surface-to-surface missiles was precise, to ensure significant impact. This is 16-digit precise intelligence (full coordinates) on an irreplaceable factory, with a precise Air Force strike, neither near nor approximate." As pilots were still in enemy territory, offices of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant began releasing photos of them in the Operations Directorate's command bunker. NYT reported that the strikes in the additional wave concluded about half an hour after they began, around 5:00 AM, targeting air defense systems, missile production facilities, UAVs, and launch sites. "If Iran makes a mistake - we will respond." -At 6:00 AM, IDF announced that the Air Force jets had returned safely to the country after striking air defense systems and surface-to-surface missiles in Iran, stating that the operation was named "Days of Repentance." "Air Force jets attacked, with intelligence guidance, missile production means that Iran launched toward the State of Israel in the past year. Simultaneously, surface-to-air missile arrays and additional aerial capabilities of Iran were attacked, which were intended to limit Israel's aerial freedom of action in Iran. IDF has many offensive operational capabilities, some of which were carried out today in striking strategic arrays deep within Iran. The State of Israel reserves the right and duty to protect its citizens if the Iranian regime continues its attacks against Israel and its citizens." "The extent of the damages and results will be revealed later, but already there is broader freedom of action for the IDF," they said. "We are focused on the objectives of the war in Lebanon and Gaza, and Iran is pushing for regional escalation. We are at peak readiness in defense and offense, with no change in the Home Front Command instructions at the moment. We are in ongoing intelligence and operational assessment. We have proven that we can strike at any point in the Middle East." -About 20 minutes after the IDF's announcement, in a conversation with reporters, a senior White House official stated the U.S. fully backs Israel and warns Iran of "consequences" if it responds to the IDF strike — which was defined as "self-defense." According to the official, "We deployed a missile battery and acted to strengthen Israel's air defense systems in anticipation of tonight's response. President Biden and Vice President Harris have clearly demonstrated that we will always help protect Israel from Iran and its terrorist organizations." -After attempting throughout the night to downplay the results of the strikes, at 6:30 AM, it decided to admit for the first time that "minimal damage" (sic) was caused at several sites, but falsely claimed that its air defense systems supposedly "succeded" in confronting "Israeli aggression (sic)." Yet, Iran admitted two soldiers killed, including an officer equivalent to the rank of major.

Ware is also part of a hip-hop duo, Slum Prophecy, that over the summer released an 11-track album titled “Aqsa Flood,” a variation on Hamas’ name for the Oct. 7 attacks, Jewish Insider reported on Monday.
Ware has removed links to the album, which had songs titled “Intifada” and “Kill Shot (Pick Them Off),” from social media sites, the news outlet reported. The songs are still available to stream on Spotify, where each has been played several thousand times. The album art features an inverted red triangle, the symbol Hamas used to mark Israeli targets in videos of the attack that has since been adopted by pro-Palestinian protesters.
Stein has sought to capitalize on disillusion among Arab and Muslim Americans with Harris’ support for Israel in its war against Hamas, campaigning in Michigan, a critical swing state.

Article: 'Amos Schocken’s lies, Bill Clinton’s truths. The "Haaretz" publisher calls Palestinian terrorists “freedom fighters,” while the former U.S. president highlights their history of rejectionism.'
Article: 'Amos Shoken's unconvincing apology. The case of the scandalous statement of Haaretz publisher Amos Schoken is not an isolated case but part of the wind blowing through the corridors of Haaretz newspaper An unusual event in the Israeli media landscape revealed what many already knew. Amos Schoken, the publisher of Haaretz, gave a "compliment" to the Palestinian murderers in his lecture in London, calling them 'freedom fighters'. His recorded words caused a great storm, with over a thousand angry reactions from readers, most of them under pseudonyms, who announced their intention to stop the bloodshed. The subscription - the payment for receiving the newspaper to their home every morning. And me? Contrary to many, I believe that Schoken's thin apology deserves a "pardon", as thin and modest in its wording as it may be. Ordinary readers are not aware of the mood behind the scenes of the media on its various sectors. They don't know how rare it is that publishers and journalists are forced to apologize for their statements. Only under duress, with restraint and obvious reluctance, are they willing to admit the "errors" they published. The angry commenters emphasize, and rightly so, the seriousness of the timing - in the middle of a war. Some even demanded that he be prosecuted. But I, personally, was not at all surprised by Schoken's words. How can one be surprised when every publisher, in the so-called "freedom of the press", steers the ideological line of his newspaper? And the wind blowing from the pages of "Haaretz" has long reflected blatant sympathy for the harassed Palestinian side - and this is not an exaggeration - for the steadfastness of the state.' The editorial line in the newspaper reveals a systematic "trend" of softening and even "understanding" of Palestinian attacks....'

A journalist asked at Friday’s joint press conference about the alleged provocations. “There can be no excuse for what happened,” the mayor said.
The incidents, which followed a match between the Ajax soccer club and Maccabi Tel Aviv, also drew a response from French President Emmanuel Macron, whose country is home to Europe’s largest Jewish community. France has also experienced a lot of antisemitism in recent months, and Israeli companies were banned recently from a defense fair in the country.
“The violence against Israeli citizens in Amsterdam recalls history’s darkest hours,” Macron stated. “I strongly condemn it and express my sympathy for the injured. France will relentlessly continue to fight against heinous antisemitism.”
Dick Schoof, the Dutch prime minister, called the incidents “utterly outrageous and abhorrent antisemitic attacks on Israeli citizens in Amsterdam.”
Christians for Israel, an international organization based in the Netherlands, lowered the large Israeli flag, which flies atop its Nijkerk headquarters, to half-mast in solidarity with those attacked.
“Last night’s attack chillingly echoes the events of Kristallnacht,” wrote Frank van Oordt, the group’s director. “That such a violent hunt for Jews could occur again in 2024 in our capital city is both incomprehensible and unacceptable.”
Halsema, the Amsterdam mayor, said that “we have seen an outburst of antisemitism tonight, and it is very unlike Amsterdam.”
“Telegram groups where a Jew-hunt is being discussed,” she said. “It’s so shocking. I am furious and I’m expressing, in the city’s name, the harshest condemnations over what happened.”
“I’m ashamed of the behavior of rioters and criminals,” she added.
A journalist asked at the press conference if Halsema had a comment on the accounts of victims, who said that all of the perpetrators looked Middle Eastern.
“This is an issue that needs to be researched. The background and ethnicity of people, that’s not something I can comment on right now, nor do I want to,” she said. (Halsema is a former leader of D66, a pro-immigration, left-leaning party.)
Geert Wilders, leader of the largest political party in the Netherlands, the Party for Freedom, which is right-leaning, showed no such reservations.
In a series of furious posts on social media, Wilders, a strident critic of immigration and Islam, referenced the alleged ethnicity of the perpetrators repeatedly.
“A pogrom in the streets of Amsterdam. We have become the Gaza of Europe. Muslims with Palestinian flags hunting down Jews. I will not accept that. Never,” he wrote. “The authorities will be held accountable for their failure to protect the Israeli citizens. Never again.”
“We weren’t allowed to speak of Islam as the source of antisemitism, and they didn’t deport criminals. Now we have Jew hunts in Amsterdam,” he added in another post.
Wilders, a passionate supporter of Israel whose party is a senior coalition member, called for the perpetrators to be deported.
The incident, which happened shortly before the anniversary of the Nov. 9-10, 1938 Nazi pogrom called Kristallnacht, comes amid polarizing debate in Europe about Muslim immigration.
In September, Marjolein Faber, the minister of asylum and migration who is part of Wilder’s party, unveiled a plan that she called “the strictest asylum policy ever.”
“We need to change course,” she said. “We are taking measures to make the Netherlands as unattractive as possible for asylum seekers.”
The Party for Freedom received the highest number of vote in the 2023 elections, amid widespread dissatisfaction with mass immigration, primarily from Muslim countries.
The incidents in Amsterdam prompted a slew of condemnations from Jewish organizations.
Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem, expressed “profound concern and solidarity with the victims of last night’s unprovoked attack on Jews.”
“Antisemitism cannot be thwarted by words alone,” stated Dani Dayan, Yad Vashem’s chair. “We call upon world leaders to recognize and take immediate and decisive action to fight against antisemitism and hate before the disease metastasizes to catastrophic proportions. History has shown us that we cannot afford to be complacent in the face of antisemitism.”
Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, stated that the “unprovoked violence—resulting in serious injuries and reports of missing persons—has not only shaken the Israeli and Dutch Jewish communities but underscores the global resurgence of antisemitism that continues to metastasize across societies worldwide.”
“We are horrified by the organized and vicious antisemitic attack on Israelis in Amsterdam,” the Orthodox Union stated. “Coming days before the anniversary of Kristallnacht, it is time for world leaders and individuals of conscience to recognize that brazen attacks against Jews is what protestors are calling for when they chant ‘globalize the intifada.'”
The Jewish Federations of North America stated that it is “horrified and outraged at the hate-filled antisemitic attacks in Amsterdam, in which anti-Israel mobs terrorized and beat Israelis and Jews trying to enjoy a soccer game.”
“This modern-day pogrom, just two days before the anniversary of Kristallnacht, should make it clear that the entire world must act now to condemn and prosecute to the fullest all the perpetrators and take every necessary step to protect the Jewish community,” the Federations said. ” We are in close contact with our partners in Israel and The Jewish Agency for Israel as we continue our commitment to the security of Jewish communities around the world.”
The Center for Information and Documentation on Israel, or CIDI, called for “concrete measures” to be taken to prevent such events from recurring.
The Combat Antisemitism Movement warned that tolerating such incidents would cause Jews to leave Europe. “Europe should remember this: Jews won’t wait around like they did in 1939. They’ll leave, leaving you to deal with the extremism that has been allowed to fester,” Sacha Roytman Dratwa, the group’s CEO, wrote.
All the injured have been released from the hospitals.

And of course he doesn't (or want to) know that the brunt victims of Oct 7 were peacenicks and had Arab 'friends..' Yet, when they were captured, everyone, 100% of Gazans rejoiced to their pain. Whoever was around abused them, this woman was cut by 13 Arabs. They told her there, their Oct 7 plan was to slaughter as many as possible - genocide.
Families of American victims from Oct. 7 sue Iran for supporting Hamas attack.
The lawsuit aims to highlight Iran’s role in the attack that killed about 1,200 people as well as its support for Hamas and other terrorist groups.
Yahya Sinwar, then the leader of the group in Gaza, requested an additional $7 million a month from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to fund the attack on Oct. 7, known as the “big project.”

They are saying that among those "verified" deaths, 70% are women and children. That's far higher than even the Gaza health ministry claims.

As "Witnesses testify on hate crimes before Senate Judiciary Committee" ,(11.20.24):
'On May the 2nd, 2024, all Republicans wrote a letter to Chairman Durbin, implore you to promptly hold a judiciary hearing to confront the flagrant civil rights violations targeting Jewish students on college campuses across America and exposed radical Islamic ideology infiltrating our universities.
The goal was to have a hearing about why it's so hard to go to schoolful you're Jewish, and it is really hard to go to these schools if you're Jewish, you're being knocked down, being spat on. It is just completely out of control. This is not the hearing we're getting. So we'll work with what we've got. The House has had ten hearings focused on anti-Semitism on the rise like it was in the '30s, in my view, we're we're not talking about fringe elements within any one group, fringe elements, or crazy people. They exist throughout society. What happened to the 6-year-old is just horrible. The man will get whatever comes his way, and to me, it's not enough. I am trying to focus on the systematic problem. America has a systematic problem on college campuses. it is being funded, the DNI says, not by Qatar but by Iran. So we have to deal with this. This committee should act not just in general but specifically about what it's like to be Jewish in America in 2024, and it is not a good story. So I want to introduce into the record the original request, if I may, and also introduce into the record a letter I have from the Union of Jewish congregation of Americans. If I may introduce both letters Mr. chairman, without objection, now the problem is really unnerving. 2.4% of Americans are Jewish. 60% of all religious-based hate crimes have been directly against the Jewish people.'

Bernard-Henri Lévy : There Is No ‘Genocide’ in Gaza. I have “studied” these subjects in depth. I have seen genocides in Srebrenica and Darfur with my own eyes. I have filmed those tortured by Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and the bodies burned alive, thrown from rooftops, beheaded, by ISIS at Mosul. I have documented, on the ground, the indiscriminate killings by Russia in Ukraine. I covered, long before that, the carnage of the Islamic Salvation Front in Algeria, from which the French writer Kamel Daoud escaped. I have borne witness to those survivors in the Christian villages of the Middle Belt of Nigeria, their lives decimated by the Islamist Fulani. In short, I know what it means to be promised death. I have seen skeletons exploited to their last strength and, when that strength expired, thrown into a pit. In other words, I know what genocide and crimes against humanity mean. The world has willingly forgotten that, in this war of Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its puppets, the IDF is the first army in the world to take so many measures, sometimes to its strategic detriment, to ensure that as few innocent civilians as possible are caught in the furnace of battles. Thus, myths are forged.'
'ICC 2023/4: Perpetrators and its defenders seek "justice" against its victims. Genocidal Islamic Fascist Republic of Iran, heavily involved in Oct 7 atrocities campaign and Hamas/PIJ activities throughout, together with Hamas’ host Qatar (who also propagates for Hamas via its: Al Jazeera, TheNewArab, Middle East Eye) have been bribing broke S. Africa to be its unofficial emissary to peddle Pallyweid “charges” within weeks of Israel's response to Iran/Palestinian attacks. The bitter and very bloody irony of the “justice” sought by (one of) the very perpetrator of it all, including aiding in Gaza regime (who also controls its Ministry of Health) usage of it's civilians as cannon fodders. Material of the fake “crimes” assembled by the likes of notorious antisemite [fascista] Francesca Albanese who already used the G slur in 2014. So nothing new. The Arab Amal Cloony also assisted in composition, the “moderate” dictatorship Palestinian Authority was also instrumental. That very “moderate” system that has been glorifying racist Arab-Islamic terror and paying bloody money ‘pay for slay.’ Let's be clear, had it not been for IDF’s high morality, the only side careful as much as it can not to hit noncombatants, then the war initiated by “Palestine,” followed by other Iran proxies, including Hezbollah, could have been over in days. At least in the Gaza front. Islamic bigot Karim Khan, nervous afrer his sexual offense, rushing to Amanpour to announce against Netanyahu and Galant. ICC staff feeling frustrated after the above and in light of sweeping Trump victory in the US, in desperation, calls to arrest. Among the first to hail it is the other host of Hamas: Islamist Turkey under Erdogan. Eu's Josep Borrell - (As well as Arab immigrants in Ireland , etc. Have much influence too) has been biased all along. He is slamming the door on the way out. Next one, the lady from Estonia [Kallas] much more pro understanding of Israel's plight. Though not a part of UN, the OIC’s occupied UN's influence is great.'

The Wall Street Journal: Biden broke his promise, Israel exceeded its aid obligations. In an op-ed, the Wall Street Journal details how the International Criminal Court is targeting Israel, warns precedent will be used against the US later on. It published an editorial warning that the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant could negatively impact all democracies. "This legal assault isn’t only against Israel," the editorial began. "The precedent will harm the ability of all democracies to defend themselves against terror groups or states." That White House may have been able to prevent the arrest warrants from being issued in the first place: In June, the US House passed a bipartisan bill sanctioning the ICC. However, on instructions from US President Joe Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer held up Sanctions in the Senate. "This is the same Sen. Schumer who loves to tell Jewish audiences that he’s their shomer, or guardian, in Congress.: "On Israel, the ICC has twisted the law and the facts," the editorial notes that the ICC prosecutor "changed the course" of his investigation into Israel just "days" after learning that he himself was accused of possible sexual harassment. ICC has jurisdiction only over member states: Israel is not a member state, and Gaza is not a member state - just like the US is not a member state. But the ICC created an entity which it named the "State of Palestine," determined its borders as including Gaza, and then allowed for the Palestinian Authority (PA) to sign for the area, even though the PA has not been involved in Gaza since Hamas took control in 2007. "International 'law' is malleable when it targets Israel," WSJ concluded. It also noted that the IDF "may have achieved the lowest ratio of civilian-to-combatant deaths in the history of urban warfare." The goal of these arrest warrants, then, is "to disarm any Western democracy that is responding to atrocities from terrorists and rogue states. This precedent will be used against the US, which, like Israel, never joined the ICC." Regarding the accusations that Israel is starving Gazans, WSJ points out that the "politicized" arrest warrants do not include MK Benny Gantz, Netanyahu's chief rival for the Prime Minister's Office. The ICC also "conveniently waited" for the lame duck period to issue the arrest warrants, WSJ noted. It added: "The charge of deliberate starvation is absurd. Israel has facilitated the transfer of more than 57,000 aid trucks and 1.1 million tons of aid, even though Hamas’s rampant theft means Israel is provisioning its battlefield enemy, something the law can’t require." "This is why President Biden said on Oct. 18, 2023, that if Hamas steals the aid, 'it will end.' The President broke that promise, and Israel has exceeded its aid obligations." Additionally, the international Famine Review Committee on June 30 concluded that famine is not occurring in Gaza; even the Hamas terror group attributes just 41 deaths out of thousands to have been due to malnutrition.

I am Hamas.’ That’s not saying I support all these poor Palestinians who are trapped in Gaza.”
The Republican Party platform, released in July, calls for the deportation of noncitizens who back Hamas and terrorism, and pledges to “make our college campuses safe and patriotic again.” Trump and his advisers have also called for deporting foreign students who organize pro-Hamas protests.
The platform does not recommend the investigation of Americans who express rhetorical support for the terrorist group, as Bondi did in her interview, a path that could trigger First Amendment challengesBondi, one of Trump’s earliest and most steadfast backers in his bid for the presidency, advised him during his first impeachment proceedings.

Why one of Australia’s best-known Aboriginal activists is taking a stand on Israel.
'Nova Peris is an Olympic gold medalist, former parliamentarian, and well-known advocate for her people’s equality – and she’s bucking many on the left to support the Jewish state. While Peris has long been a prominent advocate for Aboriginal Australians, the recent conflict in Israel has added a new dimension to her activism. On October 14, 2023 — exactly one week after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 people in southern Israel and kidnapped 251 to the Gaza Strip — Australia held a referendum to change the country’s constitution.
The referendum proposed establishing an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, which would advise on policies affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Despite widespread public debate, the referendum was resoundingly defeated, with 60% of Australians voting against it. Peris, as one of the highest-profile faces of the advocacy campaign, was devastated.
“I cried for weeks after the referendum, and until today I am still trying to process how 60% of the country could turn their back on Aboriginal people,” Peris told The Times of Israel.
As she processed the loss of the historic referendum, Peris turned her attention toward the Jewish state. “I saw some of the imagery that Hamas had recorded [on October 7] and I thought it was unbelievably shocking, beyond evil. So jarring,” she said.
“I began to think: How do I sit back comfortably in Australia, where so many people voted in a referendum to silence Aboriginal people and have not seen our struggle which is so real, but where the people who have supported us so strongly are Jewish Australians,” she said, listing prominent Jewish lawyers who have won seminal cases on behalf of Aboriginal land rights such as Jeffrey Sher and Ron Castan.
“I thought, all these people that have been there for us, supporting us with litigation, and now Jewish people are being kicked to the curb. I said, let me get my head around what’s happened to our Jewish friends,” said Peris.
Peris was horrified by the infamous protest, just two days after October 7, outside the Sydney Opera House, where a mob chanted “F#ck the Jews” and burned an Israeli flag...
Since October 7, Jewish people in Australia have experienced an alarming increase in antisemitism, including assaults, graffiti, threats, doxing, and boycotts of Jewish-owned businesses. Peris thinks the police could be doing more.'
“How do people say that Jews are the colonizers?” she said when reflecting on her trip. “I saw Hebrew written 3,000 years ago in the City of David. Truth is fundamental to [Jewish] existence; I couldn’t sit silent on this in my capacity as someone who has a voice in Australia — particularly as an Indigenous person.”
Meeting with the families of hostages, some of whom are still in Gaza, made a big impact on Peris. Peris showed a bracelet that she has worn every day since her trip, more than seven months on.

Why are we not surprised? Disgraceful NYT report: Murdered Jewish Rabbi 'disappeared' and was 'found dead' It's far from the first time that the New York Times has posted antisemitic content or content skewed by its antisemitic reporters. The New York Times faced sharp criticism for its initial coverage of Rabbi Tzvi Kogan's murder in the UAE, where the paper characterized the targeted killing as merely a case of someone who "disappeared" and was "found dead." Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo led the backlash: "Call it what it is - a Jewish man was hunted down and murdered because he was Jewish," he posted on social media. Senator Ritchie Torres echoed the sentiment, condemning what he called "soft-pedaling of antisemitic violence."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) shot itself in the foot when smearing a former employee, it is now forced to open its books. It will be forced to open its books and reveal its sources of funding after a defamation suit it filed against a former employee completely backfired.
US Magistrate Judge David Schultz ruled Monday that CAIR’s donors, funding sources — potentially including foreign ones — and any assets owned by the group are all within the “scope of permissible discovery” as part of former chapter leader Lori Saroya’s lawsuit against the controversial Muslim rights group.
What happened was that Saroya was a senior member of CAIR and even a member of its board of directors. She resigned from CAIR in 2018 and then started posting about how awful the organization is, accusing it of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, union busting, financial mismanagement, lack of board oversight, board incompetence, creating a hostile work environment, negatively portraying Muslims, making mistakes on legal cases, receiving foreign funding, and withholding money it owed her.
CAIR sued her for defamation. When the judge asked CAIR to amend the lawsuit to specify what she said that damaged the organization, CAIR dropped the case.

During this 60-day period, Israel will gradually withdraw its troops from Lebanon. The deal will allow civilians on both sides of the Blue Line to return to their homes and rebuild their communities. The US, along with France, is committed to ensuring that the deal is fully implemented, while stressing that this will not require any American troops on the ground. “If Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and pose a direct threat to Israel, Israel retains the right to self-defense, consistent with international law — just like any country when facing a terrorist group pledged to that country’s destruction."

President Biden was photographed exiting the Nantucket Bookworks bookstore in Massachusetts with a copy of an anti-Israel screed by Obama’s old pal Rashid Khalidi who had been a terrorist spokesman. Was Biden really planning to read through ‘The Hundred-Year War on Palestine: A History of Colonialism and Resistance’ which slurs Israel as an ‘apartheid state’ and describes Islamic terrorism against Jews as ‘resistance’? After the Oct 7 attacks, Khalidi defended Hamas, claimed that its members really wanted peace and that Hamas had opened “a door that the United States, Europe and Israel slammed shut”. “If you can’t go to the International Criminal Court or do a BDS,” Khalidi argued, “then you pick up a gun.” Khalidi was so toxic that the Los Angeles Times had permanently buried a video of Obama’s toast for the former terror spokesman.'

Report: Iranian regime change likely to be focus of Trump Middle East policy
According to the Middle East Forum, “the cornerstone of U.S. Middle East policy must address Iran’s expanding regional influence and its network of proxy forces.”
Dec 4, 2024:
Article: 'Trump voices the moral clarity on hostages the world needed.
The president-elect’s threat—“There will be all Hell to pay in the Middle East”—if Hamas didn’t release its captives before his inauguration sent a message to Iran.
We don’t know yet what impact President-elect Donald Trump’s bombshell statement about the fate of the Israeli hostages still held by Hamas will be. But in one post on his Truth Social site, he neatly summarized what has been lacking in terms of American leadership when it comes to the fight against Iranian-funded Islamist terrorism for the past four years.
Trump’s post—with its characteristic bombastic tone and use of capital letters for emphasis—was very different from the public statements of the Biden administration foreign-policy team in recent months on the same topic or that of any other world leader. The United States has condemned Hamas, but in the last year has been primarily focused on pressuring Israel to give up its campaign to eliminate the terrorists and agree to a ceasefire with only a partial release of the hostages. That would effectively hand the perpetrators an undeserved victory for the massacre of 1,200 men, women and children in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.'

Article: 'From science to statehood: Celebrating Chaim Weizmann’s 150th birthday
Israel’s first president was not only a statesman but also the chemist who discovered how to harness bacteria to produce acetone; Chaim Weizmann skillfully leveraged his scientific achievements and prestige to advance the founding of the State of Israel.
Some people choose a scientific career, dedicating their time to studying, researching, and publishing their findings to advance human knowledge and improve our quality of life. Others pursue a career in politics, channeling their energy into leading processes that promote their vision and serve the public.
Rarely, however, does one individual achieve greatness in both arenas, leaving a legacy etched into the annals of history. Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who became one of the foremost leaders of the Jewish nation during the 20th century, was such an extraordinary figure. Born 150 years ago, Weizmann’s life is a fascinating story of science, leadership, Zionism, and the interplay between them.
A double life.
November holds special significance in the life of Chaim Weizmann. He was born on November 27, 1874, into a simple, large Jewish family in the small town of Motol, located in the Pale of Settlement — the region of the Russian Empire where Jews were allowed to reside at the time. On November 2, 1917, Lord Arthur James Balfour issued the famous Balfour Declaration, largely thanks to Weizmann’s influence and involvement.
Exactly 32 years later, on November 2, 1949, after the establishment of the State of Israel, the Weizmann Institute of Science, his namesake, was dedicated in an impressive ceremony marking his 75th birthday. Three years later, on November 9, 1952, Weizmann passed away at his estate in Rehovot.
Chaim Weizmann was a man of dual identity, a kind of superhero by today’s standards. On one hand, he was a scientist—a biochemist focused on developing methods to produce materials for various applications, from meat substitutes to chemical additives for the automotive paint industry.'

During World War Two, German industrialist Oskar Schindler was able to save over a thousand innocent Jews from being sent to the death camps or executed by bribing Nazi officials. This was a case where bribery and corruption were a good thing and served to mitigate the evil of the Nazis and save many innocent lives.
The terrorists of Hamas have recently been offered a similar bribe. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised that anyone who frees a hostage they are currently holding would be given five million dollars and safe passage out of Gaza.
Five million dollars. With exactly 100 hostages left in Gaza, both living and dead, that comes out to $500 million in total. And yet, not a single person in Gaza has taken Israel’s offer. Not a single hostage holder has come forward.'

Amnesty International’s antisemitic agenda
To back up its ludicrous lies, the “human rights” organization relies on sources aligned with the Islamic Republic’s aim of wiping the Jewish state off the map.
It released its latest broadside against Israel on Thursday, accusing the Jewish state of committing genocide in Gaza. The nearly 300-page report—“‘You Feel Like You Are Subhuman[SIC]’: Israel’s Genocide[SIC] Against Palestinians in Gaza”—is typically mendacious.

Germany joins US in rejecting Amnesty’s ‘genocide’[sic] accusation against Israel.
German foreign ministry spokesman says Israel acting defensively, notes that Hamas started war; still repeats call for Israel to ‘adjust’ its operations to protect civilians better.
Article: 'How Amnesty International Became a Joke.
“This week, Amnesty International released a 296-page report, accusing Israel of committing ‘genocide’in Gaza…To be sure, this report, written under the guise of international law and human rights, is utterly baseless, replete with malicious lies and gross distortions of fact, as well as wholesale fabrications of law.״
“Israeli leaders are directing military policy in accordance with the decisions of the War Cabinet, and Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Defense Minister, and the IDF Chief of Staff have been unequivocal: The intent of the operation in Gaza following October 7 is to eliminate Hamas by destroying its military and governing capabilities and to rescue the hostages. These are both entirely legitimate military objectives under the laws of armed conflict.”
“That there have been civilian casualties in Gaza is tragic, but it is also the inevitable consequence of Hamas using its own people as human shields and embedding its military operations in schools, hospitals, kindergartens, and homes. Notwithstanding the complex challenge of operating in such difficult environment, the IDF has gone to extraordinary lengths, not seen in modern warfare, to abide by the principles of International humanitarian law and avoid harm to civilians in Gaza. This has included implementing historic measures to prevent civilian harm, such as advanced alerts to provide early warning and temporary evacuations, daily pauses of fighting, distributing maps to civilians, using precision weapons, as well are facilitating daily provision of aid.”

‘Break in the chain’: Fall of Assad deals blow to Iran’s global ‘Axis of Resistance.’ With Hamas and Hezbollah seriously weakened by Israel over the past year, the ousting of Syria’s president leaves Tehran’s bid for regional hegemony on shakier ground.
Analysis: 'Assad falls and Iran weakens, Qatar gains influence across Middle East."
While Iran may appear cornered, there are still many wheels in motion in the region. Qatar will benefit from Iran’s weakness because it gives Doha even more influence and sponsorship space – the one Iran lost – over groups such as Hamas or the new emerging rulers in Damascus.
The system works like this: Over the past few years, Iran backed various regional groups, positioning itself in the role of hollowing out the countries these groups are based in, weakening them, and filling that space with militias.In Iraq and Lebanon, the militias are Shi’ite – like the Iranian regime; in Yemen, they also are a local sect.
In Syria, the Assad family is Alawite, a minority group. That means Iran fed off working with non-Sunni groups in the region.The exception to that rule was Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. By sponsoring these groups, Iran gained significant influence over Palestinians, enabling it to escape what was partly a sectarian ghetto.
Qatar is a different story. Doha backed the Muslim Brotherhood for years all across the region, a group rooted in Sunni Islamic politics, meaning that Doha has often found influence in civil conflicts and has been on a different path than Iran.
This was the case in Libya, Syria, and with Hamas. Qatar lost out at times, like when the Muslim Brotherhood was overthrown in Egypt in 2013. It even suffered some isolation when Saudi Arabia led several Arab countries to break ties in 2017.
Qatar and Turkey have formed an iron bond, however, and both have reached out to Iran. Turkey, Iran, and Russia were all part of the Astana process that aimed to end the Syrian civil war, and all three, along with Qatar, support Hamas.
While Israel will gain from Iran’s weakness, it is not a complete victory because Hamas continues to control Gaza, is angling for influence in the West Bank, and is holding 100 hostages. The Iranian threat was only one part of the deadly chessboard in this region, and a new threat will emerge soon.
Israel has always faced new threats. In the 1950s and 1960s, they were led by Arab nationalist regimes. Later, they were replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. Turkey, whose leading Justice and Development Party (AKP) has roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, is one of the most vicious foes of Israel.
Make no mistake, the end of the Assad regime will not likely solve all of Israel’s challenges. Qatar is angling to make itself more important, and its historic hosting of Hamas presents a challenge to Israel’s security.
On October 7, 2023, more Jews were massacred in one day than at any time since the Holocaust. So, while Iran and its axis continued to be a threat, they could not massacre 1,200 people and kidnap 251. Israel prevented Iran and its allies from such activities.
The key issue right now is preventing Hamas and its backers in Ankara and Doha from exploiting the situation in Syria for their own ends."

Horros: "Walk on all fours and bark": Assad's morbid torture methods.
What happened inside Assad's prisons where thousands suffered 72 types of torture and 157,000 people have vanished: As new horrors are revealed by the hour, atrocity on staggering scale.
He called himself Hitler and loved to put on ‘entertainments’. To amuse his dinner guests, he would force the prisoners in his charge to act as dogs, donkeys, cats or other animals.
Those who failed to play their part would be beaten. ‘The dog has to bark, the cat meow, the rooster crow,’ recalled a former inmate. ‘Hitler tries to tame them. When he pets one dog the other dog should act jealous.’
‘Hitler’ was a guard at a prison at the Mezze Air Base in Damascus and his sadism was unyielding even by the standards of Assad’s Syria.
At Mezze, guards would regularly hang prisoners from a fence naked and spray water on them during cold nights. The New York Times described how one prisoner there was crammed into a tyre and beaten.
He said an officer once told him that a screaming woman also in the prison but out of sight was his mother. He counted 19 cellmates who died from disease, torture or neglect in a single month.
Since Assad’s fall, my social media feeds have swelled with images of rebels storming prisons, of bewildered prisoners stumbling through opened doors, of crying women blinking in daylight, and a toddler wandering out of an open cell door.
There are scenes of men drilling into steel plates to reveal layers of prisoners wedged into the earth in hidden underground cells.
In one video, a male figure sits upright on a bed, one foot manacled to its end. So motionless is he that, after watching it over a dozen times, one still genuinely cannot tell if he is a human or a mannequin.
More than 157,000 Syrian citizens have been arrested or disappeared since the outbreak of the revolution in 2011 – including 10,000 women and 5,200 children. According to reports by the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), a human rights organization that has monitored the situation in Syria over the years, more than 15,000 people have died as a result of torture during this period.
The regime agents used more than 70 different torture methods, including: electrocuting genitals, hanging weights from genitals, burning with boiling oil, steel rods, gunpowder, and various chemicals, crushing heads between cell doors and walls, inserting needles and pins into various parts of the body, confiscating clothing, and preventing access to showers and toilets.

The consulate noted that the incident occurred after the December 9 vandalism of the Hillel House at San Francisco State University with the word “Khaybar" -- a reference to a Saudi Arabian oasis where Mohammed led his followers in a war against Jews that ultimately resulted in massacres and expulsions.
‘Astounding’ government failures, House GOP report on Jew-hatred says.
“It’s our intent to take this report, its recommendations, and act,” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson stated. The Republican staff report, which is based on seven months of committee investigations, describes “astounding” failures on the part of federal government departments and agencies. The report, which was released on Thursday, states that universities across the country likely violated the civil rights of Jews in their handling of anti-Israel campus protests.
“It’s our intent to take this report, its recommendations, and act,” Johnson stated. “We’ll use what’s in here to continue protecting our Jewish brothers and sisters from discrimination and violence. But make no mistake, we will continue these efforts in the next Congress, and anytime antisemitism rears its ugly head, the House will shine a light on it and take action.”
The report’s conclusions focus largely on the failures of universities to respond to anti-Israel campus protests which began after Oct. 7 but that turned into a nationwide wave of tent encampments. That wave followed students occupying Columbia University’s South Lawn ahead of Minouche Shafik’s testimony before the House Education and Workforce Committee. (Shafik resigned as the Columbia president in August.)
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), who chairs the House committee, stated that the reputation of U.S. higher education institutions has been in “free fall” over their failure to address antisemitism on campus.
“Stopping that free fall comes down to one word: accountability,” Foxx said. “We need accountability because without it, we cannot guarantee that Jewish students have the safe learning environment they deserve.”
One of the problems highlighted in the report is that universities chose to treat the congressional investigations into Jew-hatred on campus as a public relations problem rather than as a potential violation of the civil rights of Jewish students.
That attitude led to administrators at the University of Pennsylvania “trying to orchestrate media coverage depicting members of Congress as ‘bullying and grandstanding’ and Columbia board of trustees leaders dismissing congressional oversight on campus antisemitism as ‘capital [sic] hill nonsense’ and expressing hope Democrats would win the House and spare them from further oversight,” per the report.
The report also accuses the Biden administration of failing to properly use executive power to protect Jewish students, although Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discriminating on the basis of race, color and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.
“The Biden-Harris administration failed to hold universities accountable for Title
VI violations,” the report says. “The Department of Education has not imposed real consequences for noncompliant institutions, initiated proactive compliance reviews or directed investigations as called for by its own procedures, nor has it issued a promised rulemaking implementing President Trump’s December 2019 Executive Order on Combating Antisemitism.”
The Republican staffers make 11 recommendations for universities, the executive branch and Congress to consider in response to these alleged failures, including recognizing that “discrimination against ‘Zionists’ is an unacceptable antisemitic civil rights violation” and that “congress should pass legislation removing Title IV eligibility from any university that boycotts or divests from Israel.”

Revealed: Wall Street Journal report exposes Biden’s Presidency as a managed facade. It unveiled the extraordinary lengths to which President Joe Biden’s team went to manage his presidency, confirming longstanding criticisms about his ability to effectively lead. The report, based on interviews with nearly 50 insiders, portrays a presidency tightly controlled by a protective inner circle, shielding the oldest president in U.S. history from challenges that would test his stamina and cognitive acuity. From the beginning of his presidency, Biden’s staff took pains to adjust the White House operations to accommodate his limitations. Meetings with cabinet members, lawmakers, and key advisers were infrequent and tightly scripted. Instructions to visitors were clear: keep interactions short and focused. If Biden was having an “off day,” meetings were sometimes canceled altogether, according to former aides. One national security official explained to a colleague, “He has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day.”

The IDF Published the Findings of the Investigation into the Missile Launched by the Houthis on Friday (Dec/20) That Hit Jaffa.
Analysis: This is what is stressing the Houthis - and this is what Israel should be attacking. The move that could make the Houthis worry - and stop. In a surprising move, the Houthi leadership in Yemen is seeking to send a delegation of their intelligence chiefs to Cairo to try to reach a compromise with the Egyptians. The Houthis are aware that Egypt has lost $6 billion due to the attacks they are carrying out in the Red Sea, which have significantly reduced shipping through the Suez Canal. It seems that the Houthis are very interested in ensuring that Egypt sticks to its current course and distances itself from any involvement in the struggle over navigation in the Bab el-Mandab Strait. The Egyptians, for example, are refraining from condemning the missile and drone launches from Yemen to Israel, and have refused to take part in the international coalition working to secure ships in the Red Sea. Furthermore, Egypt is also concerned about leaking that it has refused to share with Israel the findings of its radar systems. However, the Houthis were recently put on notice after President al-Sisi decided to send a military force to join the African peacekeeping force operating against the "Shabab" insurgency in Somalia. It should be recalled that the Houthis are maintaining increasing contacts through secret channels with the leaders of the Somali rebels.

Disconnected from my roots, I dedicated myself to their memory. Exhausted and despairing, I held onto the land and moved to Israel. “I married Aviva, and we raised two wonderful children, Ofer and Nurit. From Ofer and Michal, we had four grandchildren, all born in Kfar Aza. From Nurit and Miki, we had six grandchildren, all born in Kfar Aza. I achieved a deeply rooted family tree planted in the homeland’s soil that bore fruit.” “But then, on October 7, 2023, we encountered pure evil. The horrifying sights of fire and ash, murder, and the ruthless killing of innocent people struck me once again. My beloved grandson Yahav, H’yd, was murdered while protecting his wife, Shai-Li, and their one-month-old daughter, Shiya. My dear granddaughter Hadar, H’yd, and her husband Itay, H’yd, were murdered while protecting their 10-month-old twin sons, Roi and Guy.” “Once again, I am utterly exhausted, in despair, drowning. And now, I have no land left to cling to.”

Along with Oqasha, the terrorists Jomaa Salam Ubaid and Imran Harun, another senior terrorist in the network, were reportedly killed. The IDF added that its soldiers killed two additional terrorists during "close-quarter encounters." The forces also "dismantled dozens of improvised explosive devices hidden beneath roads, apprehended a number of suspects, and confiscated weapons."

In past conflicts between Turkey and the Kurds, such as in the fall of 2019, Jerusalem declared its support of the Kurdish people. As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Facebook that October, “Israel strongly condemns the Turkish invasion of the Kurdish areas in Syria and warns against the ethnic cleansing of the Kurds by Turkey and its proxies. Israel is prepared to extend humanitarian assistance to the gallant Kurdish people.” Just last month, the newly installed Israeli foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, emphasized the importance of forging a “natural alliance” with the Kurdish nation.

Was the Golan Heights in Biblical Israel?
Most maps of the Twelve Tribes during the Biblical period do not include the Golan, even though it was meant to be part of the Promised Land in Deuteronomy - for most of the Biblical period it was not conquered.
However, the Golan Heights came under Jewish rule in the first century BCE.
Claudine Dauphin wrote in Palestine Exploration Quarterly in 1982:
'The name 'Golan' is first mentioned in Deuteronomy 4.43 as a settlement in the region of the Bashan, that fell in the territory allocated to the tribe of Manasseh. It is referred to as a free city in Joshua 20. 8, and appears again as a Levitical city in IChronicles 6.7 I. The settlement in question is thought to be Sahem ed-Qjolan, beyond the eastern border formed by the river Rukkad. The name of the entire area is believed to be derived from this, according to FlaviusJosephus (Ant. IV, 5, 3: VIII, 2, 3; XIII, 15,4; BJ, 11,20,6; III, 3, 1-5; III, 10, 10; IV, I, I). His works allow one to retrace in detail the history of the province of Gaulanitis from Hellenistic times. The Golan fortresses of Gamala, Seleucia and Hippos, held by the Hellenistic Empires, were captured by Alexander J anneus in 83-8I B.C.E. and the area was annexed to the Hasmonean Kingdom (Ant. XIII, 15,3). This opened the way for increased Jewish settlement of the hitherto predominantly pagan area. It then seems to have become the scene of disturbances and violence, created by bands of robbers and political rebels who sought refuge on the wild rocky terrain of the Golan Heights (Ant. XVI, 9, 2). The Roman Emperor Augustus sought to contain this source of unrest by annexing the neighbouring districts of Batanea, Trachonitis and Auranitis. These he placed under Herod's administration in 23 B.C.E., and in 20 B.C.E. he added the area of Gaulanitis itself, the city of Pane as and the Ulatha Valley, all of which had until then been ruled by the kingdom of Iturea. To implement this new rule and maintain the peace, Herod initiated an extensive programme of paramilitary settlement. He transferred 3,000 Idumeans to the area of Trachonitis and 500 families of Jewish soldiers to Batanea, rewarding them by exemption from taxation (Ant. XVII, 2, 1-3). The intensity and extent of Jewish settlement in the Golan and surrounding districts, which reached in the north as far as Damascus and in the east to Naveh, is reflected in the baraita discussing the boundaries of 'Eretz- Yisrael', defined as the 'territory occupied by those who came back from Babylon' (Tosephta, Sheviiit IV; Jerusalem Talmud, Shevieit VI and Demai 11).'
Clearly the idea that the Golan is part of halachic Israel has been around far longer than 1967. Dauphin's paper shows some of the artifacts found as of 1982 that were clearly Jewish in al-Farj in the eastern Golan. However, they probably came after the destruction of the Temple.
Far more synagogues and other evidence of Jewish settlement has been found since then, especially in Tel Dan, which shows Biblical-era finds, including an Israelite-style four horned altar.
In the end, Israel's claim to the Golan is not Biblical but practical. It must hold the high ground for security reasons in the absence of a trustworthy government in Syria. That was the entire reason Israel allowed the buffer zone of land it conquered after suffering major losses in 1973 to be controlled by the UN for 50 years. But to say that Jews have no historic claim on the land is simply false.

Exposing Qatar: The truth behind its global influence. Digital marketing expert began countering anti-Israel narratives after October 7, launching a viral Hamas-ISIS campaign; she now exposes misinformation, highlighting Qatar’s influence as both Western cultural investor and sponsor of terror.
She witnessed a wave of misinformation on social media, with prominent accounts denying the atrocities or circulating videos of hostages. 'Exposing Qatar’s role: Kenan recently launched a viral campaign aimed at exposing Qatar’s dual role as a cultural and financial influencer in the West and as a sponsor of groups like Hamas. "They are invested in billions in education in the West from the age of 6 until the end of university when people are 22. They're the biggest donors to elite Ivy League universities in the U.S., and they demand to control what is being taught and who is the staff that teaches that. Apart from that, they're purchasing cultural assets of the West," she said.
She accused Qatar of using its wealth to silence criticism of its support for organizations such as Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and even ISIS. "In the Israeli case, when we look at their efforts to mediate between Hamas and Israel regarding the hostage deal. This is not a mediator that says, 'there are two sides and I'm here to mitigate between them.' This is a country that puts on its buildings the flags of Palestine, Hamas, Sinwar and Haniyeh on a weekly basis and portrays them as heroes. They're also the owners of Al Jazeera, whose Arabic, English and its version to Gen Z on social media, AJ+, are inciting against Israel," she added, citing Qatar’s funding of international institutions like the International Court of Justice.'

IDF Operational Recap: Hamas Center in the Kamal Adwan Hospital, Gaza:
'240+ Hamas, Islamic Jihad terrorists and other operatives suspected of terrorist activities were apprehended, some of whom attempted to pose as patients or flee using ambulances.
Despite repeated calls to refrain from allowing terrorists to exploit hospitals for military activities, terrorists were once again using the Kamal Adwan Hospital as a command center for its military operations in Jabaliya.
Approx. 15 terrorists who infiltrated Israel during the Oct. 7 massacre as well as Hamas engineering and anti-tank missile operatives were taken in for questioning.
The director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital, who is suspected of being a Hamas terrorist operative, was also taken in for questioning.
IDF special forces conducted precise activities inside the hospital locating and confiscating weapons in the area, including grenades, guns, munitions, and military equipment.
Notwithstanding the threat of terror, prior to the beginning of the targeted operation, 350 patients, as well as caregivers and medical personnel, were evacuated from the Kamal Adwan Hospital in coordination with COGAT in recent weeks. Tens of thousands of liters of fuel, food, and medical supplies for the essential functioning of the hospital were also delivered to the Kamal Adwan Hospital over this period.
During the course of the targeted operation, an additional 95 patients, caregivers, and medical personnel were evacuated to the Indonesian Hospital in coordination with local officials in the health authorities. 5,000 liters of fuel, two generators, and medical equipment were delivered to the Indonesian Hospital in order to maintain and operate essential systems in the hospital. Additionally, hundreds of civilians were able to move away from the area for their own safety via defined evacuation routes.
In short, it was Hamas and senior officials from Kamal Adwan, who turned the Hospital into a terrorist command center, and therefore a legitimate military target under international law, including Art.19 of the 4th Geneva Convention, Art. 8(2) of the Rome Statute and Article 52(2) of the 1st Protocol to the Geneva
Convention of 1949.
Furthermore, the IDF discharged their obligations in full compliance with IHL, including principles of precaution, distinction, necessity and proportionality.'
'This is what you probably won’t hear about what happened before and during our operation in the Hamas command center embedded in the Kamal Adwan Hospital:
Before IDF operations inside the hospital, 350 patients, as well as caregivers and medical personnel, were evacuated to other hospitals, in coordination with COGAT.
Tens of thousands of liters of fuel, food, and medical supplies for the essential functioning of the hospital were also delivered to the Hospital over this period.
Once operations began 95 patients, caregivers, and medical personnel were evacuated to the Indonesian Hospital in coordination with local officials in the health authorities.
5,000 liters of fuel, two generators, and medical equipment were delivered to the Indonesian Hospital. Additionally, hundreds of civilians were able to move away from the area for their own safety via defined evacuation routes.
These are just some of the humanitarian efforts led by the IDF during this complex operation in which over 240 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists were apprehended and munitions including grenades, guns, and military equipment were found inside the hospital.'

"Teenagers were forced to commit sexual acts on each other, most women were sexually assaulted": This was described in the harrowing report spread over eight pages, that includes horrific testimony of hostages who were freed from Hamas captivity.
The report that was prepared by the Health Ministry was submitted to the UN last week. It describes neglect, abuse, torture and humiliation that the hostages endured. The report begins with a description of the massacre of October 7, 2023, in the communities near the Gaza border. "The abduction of children, women, men, and the elderly from their homes is a traumatic event, often occurring after the murder of family members or close friends. In some cases, children were taken without their parents or after their parents' murder. The terrorists caused widespread destruction, with hostages witnessing their homes burning, acts of rape and looting which took place in their communities. The captives were transported to Gaza in open vehicles, often alongside the bodies of those murdered. They endured beatings, humiliation, and verbal, physical, and sexual violence during the journey.

How little Israelis care about Haaretz's reporting. Haaretz headlines are pretty much clickbait. They are designed to outrage and get you to read the vapid analysis and obsessive hate. Haaretz's newspaper circulation is tiny in Israel. In 2009, it was at 7.1%, in 2022 it was down to 4.7% exposure rate.
But what about online? Most people get their news from online sources, not physical newspapers - maybe Haaretz has an outsized influence there?
An April report on online media usage in Israel from the Israel Democracy Institute asked people which Internet site was their primary source of news.
It divided up the results by people who identify as left, center or right:
Nobody on the Right uses Haaretz as their news source. Only about 1% of the center do, and a mere 8% of the Left use Haaretz as their news source.
In recent years, however, the number of Israelis who identify as Left has dwindled as well. It is now only 16%. So according to this poll, only about 1% of Israelis use Haaretz online as their news source.
That is practically nothing.
Haaretz says it has over 100,000 digital subscribers. I would love to know a breakdown of how many are in Hebrew and how many are in English, how many are in Israel and how many outside. My guess is that the bulk of their readership is not even Israeli.
Haaretz is the number one primary source of anti-Israel propaganda. It represents a minuscule number of Israelis.
Haaretz's very existence proves how free the Israeli press is. Its numbers prove how irrelevant it is to the average Israeli.
The same people who redefine "genocide" also redefine "hospital destroyed" as many Gaza hospitals miraculously treat patients after destruction. We've seen how Israel haters change the definition of terms like "genocide" and "apartheid" just to be able to accuse Israel of those crimes.
Another one is "hospital destroyed."
It seems obvious that when a hospital is destroyed, it can no longer function without being rebuilt. No construction materials are being brought into Gaza.
Yet hospitals that Hamas, the media and NGOs report as "destroyed" by Israel somehow keep treating patients.
The Kamal Adwan Hospital that Israel is now falsely being accused of "burning" was called "destroyed" a year ago. And the source was none other than the respected World Health Organization.
AFP reported it had been reduced to "rubble."
Yet it was functioning earlier this month. Perhaps between the pieces of rubble.
Don't forget that the Al Ahli hospital was "destroyed" by Israel in October 2023 before it was discovered not to even have been attacked.
Al Jazeera also reported in November 2023 that Indonesian Hospital was in "ruins."
That hospital was also the "only functioning hospital in northern Gaza" over the summer according to the same Al Jazeera. It's a miracle!
In March, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced that the Al Amal Hospital was "destroyed." In April, it was seeing patients.
In the new vernacular, the words "damaged" and "closed" have been replaced with "destroyed." This redefinition is happening consistently and deliberately. So when Hamas terrorists hide in hospitals, fire at Israeli troops from hospitals, and the IDF fires back at those specific locations from which they were attacked, the media and UN and NGOs are quick to describe the entire hospitals as "destroyed."
"Destroyed" hospitals cannot function. Damaged hospitals can. And the reason for damage is that terrorists use them as their base for operations.
Israel (and others) have provided lots of documented evidence that these hospitals are being used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad - yet the same media and NGOs never mention that, only blaming Israel for the damage to the hospitals and claiming that Israel has no valid reason to attack.
Words themselves are being weaponized against Israel.
In "Greater Israel," Arabs would outnumber Jews 20 to 1. Why exactly would Jews want all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates again? Antisemites are convinced that Israel plans to expand its borders from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Over the weekend, the IDF and the Shin Bet carried out 100 attacks in the Gaza Strip, of which more than 50 were targeted assassinations following intelligence provided by the Shin Bet. The attacks are focused on the governance capabilities that Hamas is trying to restore in the Gaza Strip, mainly against military intelligence operatives and violent enforcement units that take over humanitarian aid, which ultimately reaches Hamas instead of the population in the Gaza Strip. The security establishment says that the intelligence for the foiling comes from intensive work by field coordinators and Shin Bet intelligence personnel who work together to reach those operatives who are helping Hamas reestablish its grip on the Gaza Strip and its residents.
Israel understands that Hamas is successful in recruiting terrorists to its ranks after it controls the supply of humanitarian supplies to the population. The ability to control the supply of water and bread gives Hamas the power to rebuild its military wing.

Article in NYT: 'Disaster by the Numbers: The Crisis in Sudan.
The United States just formally declared that genocide has taken place in the northeast African nation, but the calamity there dates back decades.
A civil war in Sudan that has killed 150,000 people and forced more than 11 million others from their homes, by some estimates, prompted the U.S. government on Tuesday to declare that a genocide had been perpetrated by one of the war’s main antagonists, the ethnic Arab militia known as the Rapid Support Forces.
The war, which has drawn in foreign countries and a host of armed groups, now threatens to spill over Sudan’s borders. After 21 months of fighting, thousands have been killed in a campaign of ethnic cleansing, countless women and girls have been subjected to sexual violence, and millions are hungry, in the world’s first officially declared famine since 2020.
So many people have been uprooted that the United Nations says Sudan is now home to the world’s largest displacement crisis — a “living nightmare,” in the words of Amy Pope, director general of the U.N.’s International Organization for Migration.

Israel in Arabic post on X (Jan/6):
Did you know that the Kingdom of Israel existed for 3,000 years?
The first king to rule for 40 years was King Saul (1050-1010) BC. He was followed by King David, who ruled for approximately 40 years (1010-970) BC. He was followed by King Solomon, who also ruled for 40 years in the period (970-931) BC.
The rule of the three kings lasted 120 years, an important period of time in the history of Israel. These years witnessed development in Jewish life in various fields, including culture, religion, and the economy.
After the death of King Solomon, the kingdom was divided in 931 BC into two parts: the Kingdom of Israel in the north and the Kingdom of Judah in the south, following internal conflicts due to heavy tax burdens and the centralized policies he imposed on the tribes.
King Jeroboam ben Nevat [son of Nebat] ascended to the throne of the Kingdom of Israel in the north (pictured in yellow). Then he established two centers of worship in Dan and Beit El to establish a separate identity from the kingdom of Rehoboam, son of Solomon, in the south, who preferred to raise taxes on the people, at a time when they were suffering from them.
The rule of the Kingdom of Israel in the north continued for about 209 years until its fall at the hands of the Assyrians in 722 BC.
As for the southern Kingdom of Judah (in green), it continued for about 345 years until its fall at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, Emperor of Babylon in 568 BC.
This division led to political conflicts throughout the history of the people of Israel, and its effects continued for hundreds of years. However, the Jewish people in the diaspora continued to aspire to the renaissance of their strength and capabilities and to rebuild their state, which was declared in the State of Israel in 1948 to become the only democracy in the Middle East.'

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) welcomed its passage. “The House of Representatives will not tolerate rogue actors, who circumvent international law in an effort to attack Israel and threaten America,” he stated. “America has returned to a position of strength and once again supports Israel without equivocation.”
The legislation passed 243-140, with 45 Democrats joining all but one Republican in voting for the measure. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a libertarian who frequently opposes bills related to foreign policy, voted present.
The bipartisan support for the bill marks an increase from its passage in June in the previous Congress when it won the support of 42 Democrats.
New “yea” votes from Democrats included Reps. Wesley Bell (D-Mo.) and George Latimer (D-N.Y.), who defeated former Congress members Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primaries in the last election.

Meet the ardent terror Hamas and Hezbollah supporters, Lebanese born Arabs in Belgium, founders of Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF): hunting for Israel's soldiers worldwide. Dyab Abou Jahjah and Karim Hassoun both bigots whobhave also abused Holocaust memory before.
Dyab Abou Jahjah, born in Hanin, southern Lebanon, joined Hezbollah in his youth and underwent military training. He became a Belgian citizen in 1996 and founded the Arab European League (AEL) in 2000 to promote Arab nationalism, anti-Zionism and Nasserism. While the league claimed to support the integration of Muslims in Europe, it faced legal challenges, including a 2010 Dutch court ruling against it for publishing antisemitic content. Known for his extreme views, he was barred from entering the UK in 2003 and has frequently expressed support for Hamas and Hezbollah. During the Gaza war, he encouraged followers to identify IDF soldiers with European citizenship to facilitate legal action. In a 2003 New York Times article, he claimed he had joined Hezbollah against Israel and declared, “I had some military training, I’m still very proud of that.” In a eulogy for Nassan Nasrallah, Jahjah claimed he met the Hezbollah leader in 2001. In 2001, Jahjah founded the Arab European League (AEL). AEL was fined for “publishing a Holocaust Denial cartoon on its website in 2006” when Jahjah was the head of the organization. AEL was dissolved in 2007. Jahjah described the 9/11 attacks as “sweet revenge,” and stated Europe made “the cult of the Holocaust and Jew-worshiping[sic] its alternative religion.” He questioned the existence of the Nazi gas chambers and labeled gays “AIDS spreading faggots.” In 2008, Jahjah joined the “Iranian-run International Union of Parliamentarians for Palestine (IUPFP)” and served as its director. On October 17, 2024, following the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Jahjah tweeted: “You can kill resistance leaders; Their death is a testimony against you. For history will write: they stood up, they said no, they showed the way. Millions will follow their path, hundreds of millions. Your power will fade, your dominion will end, and so will you. It is fated.” On October 18, 2024, Jahjah posted: “I cannot bear to hear what they call the Hebrew language. Its sound grates on my ears, like a discordant noise. ....” On September 25, 2024, Jahjah stated that “in 2009, as director of the International Union of Parliamentarians for Palestine, I organized visits for Hezbollah’s political leadership to several European countries, including the UK… We met with various prominent figures in the UK, including an important Conservative MP representing Shadow Foreign Secretary at the time, William Hague.” On October 7, 2023, Jahjah posted: “These Palestinian resistance fighters entering these settlements are all refugees whose parents were .. from these villages in 1948/1967. ...” In an October 21, 2024 Facebook post, Jahjah referred to Amos Hochstein, Deputy Assistant to President Biden, as an “Israeli soldier posing as an envoy.”
Karim Hassoun. Also Lebanese-born and a Belgian resident, has chaired the AEL since 2005. In 2009, he dismissed any possibility of recognizing Israel, comparing such an outcome to Osama Bin Laden becoming U.S. president. Following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, Hassoun controversially defended the actions of Hamas and criticized them for not taking more hostages. Hassoun was elected to the Willebroek city council in Antwerp province but was barred from serving due to pressure from local Jewish groups. The European Jewish Agency (EJA) praised the decision, citing his open support for Hamas and Hezbollah. He was later removed from his political party to facilitate the formation of the city council coalition... In 2016, Karim Hassoun honored a slain Hezbollah terrorist outside the Museum and Documentation Centre on Holocaust and Human Rights in Mechelen, the site of the transit camp from where Jews and Romani in Belgium were sent to Auschwitz. On October 8, 2023, Hassoun posted: “The Palestinians have not ‘invaded’ Israel… They are simply returning home and reclaiming their properties… A ‘small’ but very important nuance, I would say….”
The Diaspora Affairs Ministry has described both founders as active in spreading antisemitism and inciting anti-Israel sentiment across Europe.
This terror supporter got Karim Hassoun, co-founder of the Hind Rajab Foundation, got excluded from participation in the municipal coalition in Belgium. The center-right New Flemish Alliance refused to govern alongside Hassoun, who called for Hamas to take more Israeli hostages.

Strong words, feeble reporting: “60 Minutes” on U.S. support for Israel.
A "60 Minutes" segment on Gaza platforming disgruntled former State Department officials was packed with strong words standing in for strong arguments. Blaming Arab terrorism targeting Americans on U.S. support for Israel is nothing more than toxic and tired extremist Arab propaganda.
On January 12, 2025, CBS News’ hit investigative program 60 Minutes aired a 13-minute segment on three former U.S. State Department officials who resigned from their posts in response to American support for Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza following the October 7 atrocities.
While the departure of State Department employees in protest of American foreign policy is newsworthy, this segment presents its audience with an imbalanced report by omitting certain salient facts about its interviewees, obscuring important information about Israel’s conduct during the war, and injecting subtle notes of bias throughout the presentation.

Harsh report: This is what the lives of the abductees are expected to look like after their return from captivity. A year after a deal to return them, a worrying report by the Abductees Headquarters reveals the serious medical and mental health of the returnees, and predicts what the condition of those still languishing in Gaza is likely to be.
Maariv report by Eyal Ofer sheds light on the details of the hostage release/ceasefire deal, which will allow Hamas to rehabilitate itself in Gaza and encourages further abductions in the region.
The report states: “Instead of giving Hamas and the Gazans the big prize only at the end of the deal, after all our hostages return home, the Gazans receive their achievement already during Stage A of the deal: all the tent cities of the displaced will be dismantled, a million people—men, women, and children—will head north along the coastal route to Gaza City without any restrictions. At the same time, about 300,000 Gazans will return south to what remains of the destroyed city of Rafah. The only Israeli demand is that the returning cars be inspected. There is no restriction on the movement of those returning on foot.”
“Formally, the words ‘end of hostilities’ do not appear in Part A of the agreement. The formal end is reserved for Stage B—of which it is unknown if and when it will be implemented. Essentially, the IDF will withdraw from all populated areas where our forces are currently located in the northern Gaza Strip, in Jabalia, in the areas of the city of Rafah (except for the Philadelphi Corridor). The Gazan population that returns to these cities will prevent the future possibility of returning to battle in Gaza. The reason we evacuated the Gazans from these areas is precisely so we can fight there.”
“The population in Gaza City and northern Gaza will suddenly grow to almost one and a half million people, including all the senior Hamas officials and military commanders who will blend in with the crowd…This large population will require Israel to increase by five times the amount of humanitarian aid entering Gaza City. Additionally, such a large number of returning displaced persons will certainly require significant infrastructure repair: roads, water systems, electrical systems, communication, and medical services. The rehabilitation of this infrastructure will necessitate additional convoys of aid that will need to be inspected at the Kerem Shalom crossing and move north through the Netzarim Corridor. The Israeli government already decided to expand the Kerem Shalom Crossing for this purpose – so that it can accommodate 1,000 aid trucks per day (up from 500 today).”
“The Netzarim Corridor itself, which until now has been our main asset in the Strip for the IDF because it prevented the return of displaced Gazans northward, will be transformed into a burden: IDF soldiers will find themselves directing aid convoys and essentially being caught between Hamas rule and the unaddressed Hamas squads in central Gaza and the large number of civilians returning to Gaza City.”
“This is a huge achievement for Hamas. Hamas insisted on this throughout the negotiation period and got exactly what it wanted – already at the beginning of Phase A. The issue that has always been secondary for Hamas is the Philadelphi Corridor. Hamas understands that Israel cannot remain in Philadelphi forever – because the implication of surrounding the entire Strip with IDF forces is that we are responsible for everyone inside it.”
“Israel’s presence in Philadelphi does not change anything in the short term for Hamas. They have no intention of starting smuggling immediately. First, they need to secure the funds for civilian reconstruction of the Strip, and only later, when Hamas takes its long-awaited cut from the tens of billions of dollars in aid resources, it will rebuild its military strength. To this end, they may agree to accept an international force or some other façade that could ostensibly stand in public and be the governing body receiving the aid funds (just as crime organizations sometimes register their business in the name of a person without a criminal record).”
“The overall summary of this deal from Hamas’s perspective is excellent. After the displaced individuals return to their homes, they will also gain hundreds or more of their terrorists who will return home from Israeli prisons. Hamas’s control over the Gazan population remains untouched, resources will flow into Gaza at an increased pace, and Hamas retains all Israeli men under the age of 50 as hostages for continued leverage. Essentially, Hamas keeps a significant number of captives, whom it will claim are ‘prisoners of war,’ and will demand the highest prices for them: both the release of murderers and guarantees for the continued flow of funds and materials necessary for rebuilding everything destroyed in the war.
“Such a dream deal will undoubtedly go down in the organization’s history as Hamas’s ‘absolute victory’ over Israel. It will resonate for many years, especially across the Middle East — particularly for the Palestinians in the Shomron, where the difference will become clear: the Houthis, Hezbollah, the Syrians, and even the Iranians failed to defeat Israel. Hamas, on the other hand, achieves all its goals via hostages. When Israel demonstrates to them what the path to victory looks like, it cannot be assumed that this will be the last abduction.”
Shimon Or, uncle of the kidnapped Avinatan Or: "The Prime Minister admitted that he is making this deal because Trump is pressuring him. A person like this who gives in to pressure is willing to surrender to the murder of the other kidnapped people in this deal".

The Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed by Israel Hayom correspondent Ariel Kahana, titled, “Trump Forced Netanyahu to Make a Deal with the Devil.” Kahana argued that while some hostages may return home, Hamas will endure, increasing the likelihood of further Israeli and American casualties.
Kahana suggested that a better deal could have been secured if Jerusalem and Mar-a-Lago had waited just a few more days, but President-elect Trump’s insistence on finalizing an agreement before his January 20 inauguration pushed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into accepting the current framework.
The WSJ editorial board noted: “When a President elects to use it, American power is something to behold. That’s one lesson from the Israel-Hamas hostage deal reached Wednesday, with only days to spare before Donald Trump’s inauguration. It’s an echo of the U.S. hostages freed from Iran in the Reagan Presidency’s first minutes.”
It’s unclear whether Netanyahu attempted to persuade Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East envoy, to delay for a more favorable deal, but it’s evident that waiting would likely have led to better terms, Kahana wrote.
“Under the agreement, Hamas will be able to replenish its depleted ranks,” Kahana stated. “Seven hundred or more terrorists will go straight from Israeli prisons to the streets of Gaza. Many are sadistic killers who have spent their years behind bars dreaming of a return to the battlefield.”
Kahana also pointed out that the agreement reached on Wednesday would allow goods and fuel to flow into Gaza, which could help Hamas rebuild both its military and financial capacities. Hamas is known for using such resources to dig tunnels and carry out operations against IDF soldiers. The fuel provided could be used to enhance its underground network, preparing for future conflicts.
While the cease-fire is in effect and the IDF withdraws, Hamas is likely to rebuild quickly and resume its cross-border activities, using foreign aid to fund its operations, including recruiting young fighters.
“Many Israelis hoped that Mr. Trump would stop the madness and give Mr. Netanyahu the green light to crush Hamas once and for all. Instead, Mr. Trump pushed Mr. Netanyahu to accept a deal with the devil,” Kahana noted, concluding, “The Israeli prime minister should never have done it.”

"You can't fix one tragedy with another," says the bereaved brother of Ruth Fogel, as Israel considers releasing the perpetrators of one of the nation's most horrific terror attacks. The prospect of releasing the perpetrators of one of Israel's most brutal terrorist attacks has reignited trauma for survivors and relatives of the Fogel family massacre. Elihai Ben Yishai, brother of murdered Ruth Fogel, expressed outrage at reports that his sister's killers might be included in a broader prisoner exchange deal with Hamas. The 2011 Fogel family massacre stands as one of the most horrific terrorist attacks in Israel's recent history. On the night of March 11, 2011, two Palestinian terrorists infiltrated (the settlement of) Itamar, breaking into the Fogel family home during Shabbat. The attackers murdered five members of the family in their sleep: Ehud (36) and Ruth Fogel (35), along with three of their children - Yoav (11), Elad (4), and three-month-old Hadas. The brutal nature of the killings, which included the throat-slitting of an infant, shocked the nation and drew international condemnation.

Russia, Iran deepen defense ties as Putin and Pezeshkian sign 20-year pact.
While agreement doesn’t specify arms transfers between the two sanctioned countries, Putin offers aid to Tehran’s nuclear program.
While Tehran has previously expressed its hope for accelerated cooperation in the North-South Corridor and the Russia-Iran gas transfer project – there has been little progress on Iran becoming an energy hub for Russian gas.
As several analysts have noted, the pact’s timing is a sign that Moscow and Tehran are bracing for Donald Trump’s return to the White House this month.
Hanna Notte, expert in arms control, security, and Russian foreign policy, said in a thread on X, that both countries have emerged as “losers” in the post-October 7,2023 Middle East, referring to the weakening of Iran's "axis of resistance" due to Israeli-led attacks and the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a key ally to Russia and Iran.
“Both Russia & Iran see some utility in signaling the robustness of their partnership at this time - and that Trump won't be able to drive a wedge between them,” Notte wrote.
Nearly three years on, Russia's war on Ukraine continues, with Iran playing a key role as Moscow's ally in supplying drones and missiles. Iranian-made drones, including the Shahed series, have been crucial in Moscow’s attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Reports also suggest that Tehran provided ballistic missiles to enhance Russia's military capabilities.
Advisers to Trump, who takes office next Monday, are reportedly crafting a wide-ranging sanctions strategy to facilitate a Russia-Ukraine diplomatic accord in the coming months while at the same time squeezing Iran, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

Israel to free up to 1,904 Arab Palestinian terrorists in 1st stage of hostage deal, including killers. Among those slated for release is notorious Fatah terrorist Zakaria Zubeidi - former head of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Jenin who escaped from Gilboa Prison in 2021,, convicted murderers from Hamas and Islamic Jihad responsible for the murder of dozens. Figures comprises 737 jailed Arab Palestinians, 1,167 Gazans detained in ground op. Notable prisoners to be released (asides from aforementioned Zubeidi) include Iyad Jradat, convicted of involvement in a 2003 terror attack; Mahmoud Atallah, serving a life sentence for murder; and Mahmud Abu Varda, who is serving 48 life sentences for orchestrating multiple attacks. Among those to be released are prisoners convicted in the murders of Malachi Rosenfeld, the Henkin couple, Ari Fuld, and other attacks. The notable releases include Zakaria Zubeidi, Wael Qassem, leader of the Silwan cell responsible for attacks that killed 35 Israelis, including bombings at Moment Cafe and Hebrew University. The releases include those convicted in attacks at Jerusalem bus lines, the Stage Club bombing, Sharon Mall attack, and Hillel Cafe attack, the murder of Dvir Sorek, and multiple suicide bombings in Jerusalem and other cities during the Second Intifada.

Israel ceasefire deal: ‘Victory’ sets up Hamas’ next war. Netanyahu will be not the last US ally humiliated by self-centred presidential demands. The deal releases many hundreds of hardened Islamist criminals, now free to return to their murderous ways.
The Momentous, ‘Horrific’ Hamas-Israel Deal
Netanyahu Came Under Enormous Pressure to Negotiate with Hamas for the Release of Israeli Hostages, and Thereby Implicitly to Permit the Jihadi Organization to Survive...
'Why did Trump push so hard for a deal? One can only speculate but I believe him inspired by the events of Jan. 20, 1981, when an airplane carrying all American hostages took off from Tehran moments after Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president, leading to an ebullient and triumphal inauguration.
Trump demanded a done deal before taking office on Monday to win a like glory for himself. Predictably, he lavishly praised on the “EPIC ceasefire agreement,” describing himself as “thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home.”
The deal releases many hundreds of hardened Islamist criminals, now free to return to their murderous ways. It nearly assures continued Hamas rule in Gaza.
He ignored, of course, the grievous future costs of his momentary success. The deal releases many hundreds of hardened Islamist criminals, now free to return to their murderous ways. It nearly assures continued Hamas rule in Gaza. It boosts Islamist morale worldwide. It humiliates the West’s foremost Middle Eastern ally. It also confirms Donald Trump’s inconstant, unreliable, and ego-driven foreign policy. Benjamin Netanyahu will be not the last U.S. ally humiliated by self-centered presidential demands.'

'Israel is seen more favorably than CNN and the EU by Americans - and young Americans now support Israel more than most other age groups! A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll was just released, and it shows that Americans remain strongly pro-Israel.
Taken on January 15-16, the survey asked 2,650 US voters a series of questions about the political environment ahead of President-elect Trump's inauguration today.
One question asked how favorably Americans judged a series of institutions:
Israel is seen more favorably by Americans than the European Union, CNN. MSNBC and X. The gap of favorable over unfavorable is better for Israel than the US Supreme Court, the Department of Justice and Fox News. (If you calculate the percentage of favorable answers over all people who held an opinion, Israel also edges Facebook.)
Given the huge amount of anti-Israel reporting and coverage of anti-Israel events for the past 15 months, this is pretty remarkable.
Another response is perhaps even more surprising:
It is not surprising that 4 out of 5 Americans support Israel over Hamas. But the age breakdown shatters the impression that has been given that young Americans are inexorably becoming more anti-Israel.
A higher percentage of US voters 18-24 say they support Israel than any other age group under 55!
The pattern of younger people becoming more and more anti-Israel appears to have been broken by Gen Z.
This is something worth investigating. Did the pro-Hamas college encampments turn them off? Are they now getting most of their news from social media and therefore not as exposed to the toxic hate from the mainstream media? Is hasbara actually working for the first time in decades?'
'Al Jazeera unwittingly proves yet again that Hamas lies constantly.
From Al Jazeera: "The Palestinian Civil Defence agency said it estimated there are 10,000 bodies under destroyed structures across the strip. At least 2,840 bodies were melted and there are no traces of them, said Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson of the Palestinian Civil Emergency Services in Gaza."
2,840 is a curiously specific statistic for bodies that, by definition, have no evidence of ever existing. How can they count bodies that leave no trace?
If you that Gaza civil defense is simply counting missing people, then why not assume that they are missing under the rubble and simply not found yet? How could they possibly determine that 2,840 bodies are invisible under rubble and 10,000 are not? (Actually, Hamas just updated the number of people missing to be exactly 14,222, which must mean 2,840 melted and 11,382 buried.)
It is impossible to count thousands of invisible people. The "2,840" figure by itself is 100% proof that Hamas makes up very specific casualty statistics out of thin air.
Combine this with the facts that the 10,000 buried under rubble number has also been made up by Hamas with no evidence or procedure for counting them, and that there is no known weapon short of a nuclear bomb that leaves no trace of a human body, this gives us 100% proof from Al Jazeera itself that Hamas lies about Gaza casualties.'

These words of Eitan Gonen, Romi's father, sum up the task of all of us now. To return everyone and all of them home and to restore the lives of the abductees, the families and the entire Israeli society. We will not give up on achieving the goals of the war and overthrowing the rule of the terrorist organization Hamas, so that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel. [Shehechiyanu]."Blessed are You, L-rd our G‑d, King of the Universe, who has granted us life, sustained us and enabled us to reach this occasion."
Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri said: "O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever!". "Together with all the people of Israel, I am excited to see Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbracher and Emily Demari - three of our sisters who were brutally kidnapped on October 7 by Hamas terrorists, get to return home today, after 471 days!". He also said: "I wish them to be reunited with their families soon in good health, and I pray for the release of all the abductees - that life will return to the bosom of their families, and that the dead will be brought to the Kever-Yisrael [Jewish burial] with dignity. The State of Israel is obligated to return everyone home with God's help, this is our moral and Jewish duty!"
Defense Minister Israel Katz said: "Romi, Doron and Emily returned home. This is a moment of hope for an entire nation that now embraces them and their families in their hearts. I salute the soldiers of the IDF, the security system and all those who worked with devotion to return them to the bosom of their families. The State of Israel will not rest or be silent until every abductee returns home - the living to their families and those who are not between life and burial."
State President Yitzhak Herzog said: "Romi, Emily and Doron - so loved and precious - a whole nation is happy that you are back. We send a huge hug to you and your families. It is a day of joy and comfort, and the beginning of a challenging journey to restoration and healing together. "A tearful eye and a happy heart" - at this time, our hearts go out to all the anxious and grieving families, whose loved ones have not yet returned. We will not rest or be quiet until we return all our sisters and brothers from the hell of captivity in Gaza - the living for restoration and their families and the dead for the grave of Israel.'
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote: "Emily, Doron and Romi, welcome home! My heart goes out to you, our dear sisters! An entire nation is proud of you, tears with you, and hugs you endlessly!".
The chairman of Torah Judaism, Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf wrote: "And the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy."
Minister Yoav Ben Tzur wrote: "And there is hope for thy future, saith the LORD; and thy children shall return to their own border." "Between despair and hope, between weakness and strength, an entire country clinging to faith." After 471 days of uncertainty and immense anxiety for the fate of the abductees, we brought Romi, Doron and Emily home with tears of joy. The State of Israel is obliged to act in every way to return the abductees to their families. We will not give up on anyone, this is our commitment, of all of us. The Damari family, Gonen and Steinbracher, an entire country embraces and strengthens you, sorry that we failed to protect them, that we were not able to return them faster.
Minister of Communications Dr. Shlomo Karai said: "Blessed is He who releases the bound!" Romi, Doron and Emily returned home. Despite the unbearably difficult images of the Nazis celebrating in Gaza and the terrorists..., today we are all happy and excited to see our loved ones at home again. We will continue to fight until we eliminate terrorism and return everyone home to Gaza soon. The nation of Israel lives [Am Yisrael Chai]."
Chairman of the Noam Party, Deputy Minister Avi Maoz wrote: "Happy and moved to tears along with the whole House of Israel at the sight of the abductees returning home. Accompanying the joy is a feeling of pain and shame for the fact that after 15 months of fighting the cruel enemy is standing on his feet and did not go down on his knees.
Member of the Knesset Keti Shitrit wrote: "Blessed are you, our God, King of the world, who releases the bound." "The return of Romi, Doron and Emily, refines the soul and uplifts the spirit. I salute the soldiers of the IDF and the security forces, who in the war of resurrection, made their return possible. The State of Israel is committed to repatriating all of the abductees, and will do everything to bring the living to the bosom of their families and the dead to Kever-Yisrael [Jewish burial]."

Sara and I send our warmest wishes to you, Melania and the American people on your second inauguration as President of the United States.
Your first term as President was filled with groundbreaking moments in the history of the great alliance between our two countries.
You withdrew from the dangerous Iran nuclear deal, you recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, you moved the American embassy to Jerusalem and you recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
You brokered the historic Abraham Accords in which Israel made peace with four Arab countries.
I believe that working together again we will raise the U.S.-Israel alliance to even greater heights.
I’m confident that we will complete the defeat of Iran’s terror axis and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity for our region.
On behalf of the people of Israel, I also want to thank you for your efforts in helping free Israeli hostages.
I look forward to working with you to return the remaining hostages, to destroy Hamas’ military capabilities and end its political rule in Gaza, and to ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel.
I am sure, Mr. President, that under your leadership, the best days of our alliance are yet to come.” '

Trump fires head of terrorist-linked World Central Kitchen from President’s Council on dports, fitness, nutrition. US President Donald announced the firing of celebrity chef Jose Andres, founder of the controversial World Central Kitchen (WCK), from the president’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, claiming that the restaurateur and humanitarian is “not aligned with” the current White House’s mission.
Trump shared the news of Andres’s departure in an “Official Notice of Dismissal” on social media. The statement explained that his administration is currently in the process of “identifying and removing over a thousand presidential appointees from the previous administration, who are not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again.”
Over the past year, Andres has found himself embroiled in controversy regarding the alleged conduct of WCK employees in Gaza. WCK, a US-based NGO founded by Andres to help feed needy people caught in disasters or conflict zones, has been operating with roughly 500 employees in Gaza since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023. The charity has often engaged in heated public disputes with the Jewish state, accusing the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of purposefully targeting its workers with airstrikes — allegations that Jerusalem has adamantly rejected.
In April 2024, the IDF came under fire after it conducted airstrikes on a WCK vehicle convoy, killing seven employees of the charity. Israel acknowledged responsibility for the incident and insisted that the airstrikes violated internal protocol, subsequently dismissing two senior officers over the botched military operation.
Israel has accused WCK of insufficiently vetting its workforce and employing terrorist members within its ranks.
Last month, WCK fired at least 62 of its staff members in Gaza after Israel said they had “affiliations and direct connections” with terrorist groups. Israel conducted an investigation into the backgrounds of the charity’s employees after the Jewish state discovered that a WCK employee named Ahed Azmi Qdeih took part in the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas’s invasion of and massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
Qdeih was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza on Nov. 30. At the time, WCK said it had no knowledge of an employee involved in the Oct. 7 onslaught, in which Hamas-led Palestinian terrorists murdered 1,200 people and kidnapped over 250 hostages during their rampage in southern Israel.
Israel has long insisted that Hamas and similar terrorist groups have infiltrated humanitarian organizations in Gaza. In August 2024, the United Nations admitted that nine employees of UNRWA, the controversial United Nations agency responsible for Palestinian refugees and their descendants, were fired over their alleged involvement in the Hamas terrorist group’s Oct. 7 attacks on southern Israel.

Harvard settles lawsuits over antisemitism on campus, at "Pro-Palestinian" activities.
It has agreed to implement the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism as part of a resolution to two Title VI lawsuits that it settled in federal court in Boston.
One of the lawsuits, filed in May by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and Jewish Americans for Fairness in Education, alleged that since the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel, students and faculty on campus have called for violence against Jews and celebrated Hamas’ terrorism as the university ignored harassment — including a physical assault — of Jewish students.
The other suit was filed in January 2024 by Students Against Antisemitism, a group of six Jewish Harvard students, who alleged the school had not protected them from “severe and pervasive” campus antisemitism. In November, a judge consolidated the two lawsuits after Harvard unsuccessfully moved to dismiss both.
In addition to adopting IHRA, Harvard agreed to prepare a public annual report for the next five years that covers its response to violations of the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars discrimination and harassment based on national origin. It also agreed to provide clarification on its website that Jewish and Israeli students are covered by Harvard’s existing Non-Discrimination and Anti-Bullying Policies.

Hamas is publicly executing Gaza opponents on video. Silence from the world.
The real root cause is, and always has been, Jew-hatred. Amnesty doesn't combat it - it encourages it. Amnesty USA tweeted a short slideshow in the wake of the ceasefire in Gaza. Here is one particularly disgusting slide. To Amnesty, Jews are the ones really responsible for Hamas attacking on October 7. Every time a group like Amnesty speaks about root causes, it is to justify Palestinian and Arab attacks on Jews. They never say that the "root cause" of Israeli defensive actions is a Palestinian action. Their interest in history always only goes back to some Jewish "root cause" and not a second beforehand.
On November 8, 1913, the Filastin newspaper published a poem by Sheikh Sulayman al-Taji Faruqi called "The Zionist Menace" which was both antisemitic and anti-Ottoman. The poem caused the Ottoman authorities to shut down the paper for a time. The first half is addressed to Jews, and the rest to the head of the Ottoman Empire.
It is filled with antisemitic imagery, of rich Jews who aren't a real people anyway and who are hated by Muslims for centuries. It calls for ethnically cleansing Jews from the region.
This is before so-called "apartheid," before so-called "occupation," before the "nakba," before Balfour. Anyone who looks at root causes must conclude that the root cause is Arab antisemitism.
So let us look at the 1921 Jaffa riots. The British Haycraft Commission wrote a report on the 1921 riots where Arabs killed dozens of Jews in Jaffa and elsewhere, which was sparked by a May Day demonstration by a small number of Jewish communists.
Ironically, the communists supported Arab workers as much as Jews; their chants during the demonstration included "Long live the international solidarity of the Jewish and Arab proletariat!"
The commission did not blame the riots on the demonstration. They said they fully expect the Arabs to attack Jews in a situation like that. Here, however, the Arabs turned it into a "race conflict" - meaning, attacking Jews as Jews. It wasn't self-defense and it wasn't a reaction, it wasn't aimed at only the demonstrators. It was the deliberate attacking of Jews, including murdering children and raping women, sadistically splitting open Jewish skulls. One of their first targets was the "Immigration House" where a hundred Jewish men, women and children lived. Arab policemen also joined in the attacks on Jews, shooting at and killing Jews in the building. his was followed by "an orgy of pillage" of Jewish homes and shops.
In many ways, it was a miniature October 7.
The commission noted that the violence towards Jews was not at all proportionate to this supposed excuse of an illegal gathering. It was a "race conflict" - meaning, attacks on Jews because they are Jews. Unlike Amnesty, they didn't automatically blame the Jews for every violent act by the Arabs.
Amnesty keeps blaming Jews as the "root cause" for Arab outrages, but when you go back through the "cycle of violence," the first attackers are always Arabs towards Jews. The Amnesty slide shown above proves that it is Amnesty's own antisemitism that pours gasoline on the fires of Arab Jew-hatred.
Another point worth mentioning is that the Arabs in 1921 were often motivated to kill by unfounded rumors of Jews attacking Arabs and doing heinous crimes. This is what prompted them to attack Hadera and Petah Tikva in the days after the May 1 attacks. The British investigators found that the rumors were baseless. Compare that to today where researchers from NGOs and the media are likely to believe anything Hamas says and not believe the Jews; they themselves are fueling the terrorism by spreading the false rumors and Hamas statements as truth. Blatant lies get laundered through UN agencies and become presumed truth and justifications for murder.
Despite the fact that Amnesty claims to be against antisemitism, and despite the tsunami of antisemitic incitement published today in Arabic media that would make Sheikh Faruqi, blush, Amnesty has not written a word about Arab Jew-hatred which is the real root cause of the conflict and of Arab violence. Amnesty's own contempt of Jews poisons its own analyses.
The 1921 riots and 1913 poetic incitement came decades before so-called "apartheid" and "genocide[sic]" and "occupation" and "nakba." How can anyone not infected with antisemitism blame Jews as the "root cause" of the violence?
Amnesty is a sick joke. it doesn't want to talk about root causes. it wants to ensure that every dead or kidnapped or raped Jew is blamed on Jews themselves.

Israelis rejoiced at the return of four female unarmed IDF lookout observers—Karina Ariev, 20, Daniella Gilboa, 20, Naama Levy, 20, and Liri Albag, 19—who were abducted from the Nahal Oz base during the Hamas-led invasion of the northwestern Negev on Oct. 7, 2023. They arrived at hospital for medical evaluation after reuniting with families. The 4 girls freed after 477 days in Hamas captivity airlifted to Rabin Medical Center to reunite with their families; health officials call medical evaluation 'complex event'; IDF chief hails their return as 'part of our victory'. Families gathered at the hospital cheered as the helicopter landed, while others wore shirts celebrating their relatives’ service. Earlier, emotional footage captured their reunion with parents at a reception center near the Gaza border, where they embraced and shed tears of relief and joy. Liri Albag held a sign during her helicopter ride that read, "I love you, citizens of Israel, IDF soldiers and my family. I’m back," and signed a heart with her hands upon landing. The hospital confirmed the soldiers are undergoing sensitive medical and psychological evaluations. “This is an emotionally and medically complex event for the returnees, their families and the nation,” said Dr. Hagar Mizrahi, head of the Health Ministry's Medical Division, emphasizing the importance of respecting their privacy during recovery. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, Mossad Director David Barnea and POW Coordinator Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon monitored the return process from a command center. “Their return is part of our victory in this war,” said Halevi. “We remain committed to bringing back all captives, soldiers and civilians.” In exchange, Jerusalem is expected to release 200 Palestinian terrorists (50 for each soldier—30 serving life sentences and 20 who were supposed to remain in prison for up to 15 years). Terrorists who were “convicted of murder, of manufacturing weapons used for murder, or of directing the carrying out a fatal attack” are to be deported to the Gaza Strip or abroad, instead of to Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem. Under the terms of the ceasefire deal, Hamas was supposed to free female civilian hostages before soldiers. One civilian woman, 29-year-old Arbel Yehud, remains in Gaza. It is not clear whether her exclusion from Saturday’s release will complicate the agreement. Shiri Bibas, 33, another female civilian hostage, was taken with her two children, and they are included on the list of the 33 hostages to be released.

Germans have ‘too much focus on guilt,’ Elon Musk says. He also praised the AfD party in an address he delivered remotely at one of its rallies.
Dani Dayan, the chairman of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, said he disagreed. “Contrary to Elon Musk’s advice, the remembrance and acknowledgment of the dark past of the country and its people should be central in shaping the German society. Failing to do so is an insult to the victims of Nazism and a clear danger to the democratic future of Germany,” Dayan tweeted.
The AfD is an anti-immigration movement that is frequently rocked by scandals connected to the country’s Nazi past. Last year it received 16% of the vote in the European Parliament elections in Germany, a five-point increase over the 2019 election.
AfD leader Alice Weidel in September boycotted an event commemorating the liberation from Nazism, explaining it was akin to celebrating “my own country’s defeat.” Party founder and honorary chairman Alexander Gauland in 2017 said Germans “should be proud” of soldiers who fought in both world wars.
AfD and many of its supporters say the party is not antisemitic and confronts expressions of such hatred in its ranks. It is being singled out and described as illegitimate because of Germany’s past, they say.
Musk’s remarks came after an earlier controversy involving a gesture he performed in a speech in Washington on the day of Trump’s inauguration. Some of his critics said it was a Hitler salute but others, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said he was “being falsely smeared,” as Netanyahu put it.

Leaders to hear Auschwitz survivors at 80th anniversary of camp's liberation.
Auschwitz survivors were being joined by world leaders on Monday to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi German death camp by Soviet troops, one of the last such gatherings of those who experienced its horrors.
The anniversary at the site of the camp, which Nazi Germany set up in occupied Poland during World War Two, was being attended by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Britain's King Charles, French President Emmanuel Macron, Polish President Andrzej Duda and a host of other leaders.
They were not due to make speeches, but rather to listen for perhaps the last time to those who suffered and witnessed at first hand one of humanity's greatest atrocities.
Israel, the country founded for Jews in the shadow of the Holocaust, sent Education Minister Yoav Kisch.
- Jan 27, 2025:
‘Nothing will be easy about returning:’ Survivors mark 80th anniversary of Auschwitz liberation. Survivors of Auschwitz and their families arrive to lay candles at the concentration camp's so-called "death wall" on the 80th anniversary of its liberation. “It doesn’t do any good for your heart, for your mind, for anything,” said Holocaust survivor Jona Laks, 94, about her return to Nazi Germany’s Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. “But it’s necessary,” she said. “It’s necessary for the world to know.”

Netanyahu: ‘Hamas are the new Nazis’.
"The core of new antisemitism is the attempt to ... undermine [Israel's] right to self-defense," Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said. Netanyahu on Monday called on the “civilized” world to up its effort to combat Jew-hatred, while labeling the Hamas terror group the “new Nazis.”
“On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I call on all civilized nations to confront antisemitism wherever it appears—on college campuses, city streets or international forums like the [International Criminal Court],” Netanyahu tweeted.
“Founded in the shadow of the Holocaust, the ICC has disgraced itself with antisemitic attacks on Israel. Hamas are the new Nazis, and we are committed to defeating them once and for all. The Jewish state will always stand as a safe haven for Jews worldwide. #NeverAgainIsNow.”
In November, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over their roles in prosecuting the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The ICC does not have jurisdiction over Israel. However, the court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who is under investigation for sexual misconduct, insisted that he has jurisdiction over the country.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar similarly weighed in on Monday, tweeting: “Today we mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, in memory of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. Throughout 2,000 years of exile, including during the Holocaust, the Jewish people did not have the means to protect themselves.
“The Zionist revolution restored the Jewish people the ability to protect themselves,” continued Jerusalem’s top diplomat. “The core of new antisemitism is the attempt to delegitimize the Jewish state’s right to exist and to undermine its right to self-defense.
“The purpose of the different proceedings in the ‘international legal institutions’ is an attempt to remove Israel’s basic right to self-defense.
We will never relinquish our right and ability to defend ourselves!
Never again is now!”

Iranian author, analyst Sadegh Zibakalam: The Iranian young people hate Palestinians. Sympathy for Palestinians 'evaporated' after October 7 massacre, Iranian young people 'HATE Palestinians.'
"You'd be surprised today," he said in a video shared by Iran International. "Since [the] seventh of October last year, you'd be surprised at the number of Iranian who HATE Palestinians. What happened to that sympathy? It's gone - it's evaporated."
"If someone would have told me that, 'Sadegh, a day would come that Iranian people hate Palestinians and they would praise [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu - of all the people - they would praise Netanyahu as the hero, I would've thought that he or she was out of his mind, he or she was talking nonsense, he or she didn't know ANYTHING about Iranian people. But I saw it with my own eyes during the past 15 months, the degree of hatred of younger generation of Iranian against Palestinian. And their hero was Netanyahu."
'Strike the Houthis while Iran is weak'
He added, "Do you think they knew anything about Netanyahu and the Likud party, and the Hamas? No, no. They hate Palestinians because the Islamic leaders - they support Palestinians."
Last month, a viral video circulated on social media, showing a high school principal in Iran trying to get his students to chant,"Death to Israel," and, "Death to America," while the students instead replied, "Death to Palestine."
Released hostage Liri Albag: 'There are 2 million terrorists in Gaza'. Hamas demanded hostages talk on stage before their release; they chose to show hand signs of victory. 'I would say one sentence in Arabic: ‘My name is Liri Albag, I am number one.'
Liri spoke about the hostile attitude of the Gaza residents after the October 7th massacre and during the entire war.
"Remember that, there are two million terrorists there. I was sitting with an 8-year-old boy and 4-year-old boys, who would spit at the mention of Jews. Do you understand what that means? Does anyone understand what that means? So what are they talking about? About Sinwar who was released? They could have eliminated him a thousand times; not a thousand, but two thousand times, and all of Hamas as well, who were going on a rampage and did what they wanted even before October 7th. They could have crushed Hamas just as they crushed Hezbollah," Albag repeated Liri’s understanding.
'God created people to love, not to hate:' Holocaust survivor addresses UN. Marianne Miller delivered accompanied by her four children and seven grandchildren:
“My name is Marianne Miller, and I am a Holocaust survivor. I represent the remaining Holocaust survivors, who are getting older, weaker, and sicker, leaving us day by day. I was a baby during the Holocaust, but I can still say it, clear and loud:
"I have been there.
"My parents, Alfred and Violetta Nobel, were a young couple deeply in love. Before my father was taken to a labor camp, my mother wanted to become pregnant. My father was against it. ‘You don’t bring a child into a world where sure death is waiting for them everywhere,’ he said. But my mother, so in love, replied, ‘Maybe one of us will stay alive, and they will have a memory of the other.’
"Under these conditions, I came into the world – a world where death awaited me at every corner.
"Budapest, 1944. A freezing December night. Mothers are marching with their babies in deadly silence, heading toward the railway station. The destination: Auschwitz.
"Then, something unprecedented happened. With a sudden movement, my mother tore off her yellow star and ran out of the line, holding me in her arms. She hid under a gate, thinking no one had seen her.
"But a young Hungarian Nazi chased after her, shouting and aiming his rifle at her chest. ‘How dare you take off the yellow star?’ he roared. ‘Now I’m going to kill your child and make you watch. Then you’ll go back to the line without your baby.’
"There was no point in begging for mercy. All my mother had was a thin golden wedding ring. She held it out to him, saying: ‘Look! Look! You kill people and take their jewelry, but this ring is different – it is not covered in blood. It shines because you didn’t murder anyone for it. Take it. There is a blessing on it. You gave life to a mother and her child. Take it!’
"Maybe, in that one moment, he found a spark of humanity within himself. He didn’t follow her. He let her run, and we were saved.
"My father’s story is no less remarkable.
"Taken to the hunger camp of Bergen-Belsen, he survived on one slice of bread per week. He had the willpower to divide it into seven pieces, eating one each day. At liberation, he weighed only 35 kilos – the weight of a child.
"Most of my family was not as fortunate. Many were shot into the Danube River. My mother’s sister Nicolet, a partisan, was executed. My cousin Gabor, just 13 years old, was killed – he could have become a world-famous poet.
"Today, I stand here having lost my husband, Yoel, two months ago.
"He was my best friend for 58 years. As a child, he survived the Terezin concentration camp, becoming a father figure to his baby brother.
"Last April, I was honored to lead the March of the Living in Budapest and Auschwitz. I was deeply shaken by the mountains of shoes, glasses, and hair left behind. Six million lives were brutally taken simply for being Jewish.
"I came here today with my children and grandchildren – my personal answer to Hitler.
"Antisemitism is lifting its ugly head again across the world. We must remember: God created people to love, not to hate. God wants to be proud of mankind, not ashamed of it.
"I represent today the six million Holocaust victims who were murdered just because they were Jewish. I demand the world remember what happened only 80 years ago.
"Never. Never. Never, let it happen again.
'Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to Ambassador Danny Danon and President Isaac Herzog for making my presence here today possible."

Tearful King Charles becomes first UK monarch to visit Auschwitz. Aides say king’s visit was ‘deeply personal pilgrimage’ as he took part in events marking 80th anniversary of liberation of the Nazi death camp, UK Jewish news reports.
Article: 'Don’t mention the Jews. This removal of Jews from Holocaust.
Memorial Day has long been the plan of that weird marriage of the far left and Islamists. For too many leftists, Jews have never been good enough victims for their compassion. They certainly don’t want to remind people that anti-Semitism, the creed they so often march alongside with, is dangerous. Instead, they like to paint Jews as oppressors – or genocidal maniacs. So they have to hide the fact that Jews were the ones attacked in the most heinous and deliberate genocide in history.
There is another reason for removing Jews from the memory of the Holocaust. It’s a way of undermining the necessity of Israel’s existence – a state that had to come into being because the world closed its doors to Jews, despite knowing they were being slaughtered.
Parts of the left really do seem keen on taking the focus of Holocaust Memorial Day away from Jewish suffering. In 2011, Jeremy Corbyn was among a group of mainly Labour politicians who supported a parliamentary motion to rename Holocaust Memorial Day, saying instead it should be called ‘Genocide Memorial Day – Never Again for Anyone’. This was despite the fact it already did officially remember later genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
It is telling that, a few weeks ago, the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) wrote to 460 town halls and educational centres around the UK asking them to boycott this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day because apparently it wouldn’t be inclusive enough (the organisers failed to categorise the war in Gaza as a "genocide"). In truth, the IHRC hardly needed to go to all that trouble. The message of Holocaust Memorial Day has become so watered down that it is an act of bravery to even mention who the victims of the Holocaust were – especially after Hamas’s pogrom in Israel on 7 October 2023.'
Article: 'The dark descent into Holocaust erasure. Let's be clear: the genocide of European Jews by the Nazi regime was unique in its systematic nature and industrial scale.'
Antisemites portray themselves as false allies to Jews as ‘political cover,’ experts say. The gaslighting is “particularly galling” given “what has happened over the last 15-plus months,” Sam Markstein, of the Republican Jewish Coalition, said.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a member of the progressive “Squad” in Congress, condemned on Oct. 7, 2023, “the horrific acts we are seeing unfold today in Israel against children, women, the elderly and the unarmed people who are being slaughtered and taken hostage by Hamas.” She added that the “senseless violence” would only continue a cycle of violence and called, even before the Jewish state had defended itself, for “de-escalation and ceasefire.”
On Jan. 27, Omar, who has often criticized Israel in antisemitic terms, wrote that “on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the 6 million Jews and millions of other people murdered during the Holocaust and carry the stories of survivors who showed strength in the darkest of times.” She added that “we must recommit to fighting against antisemitism and bigotry in all forms. Never again.”

Holocaust distortion more dangerous than outright denial, warns departing IHRA chief. ‘It’s always those who attack freedom, liberal views, diversity and pluralism’ who twist the facts, says Kathrin Meyer. ‘They use Holocaust distortion for their political gain’.
'It’s an insult to victims; it's also a threat to democracy'.
Holocaust distortion more dangerous than outright denial, warns departing IHRA chief. ‘It’s always those who attack freedom, liberal views, diversity and pluralism’ who twist the facts, says Kathrin Meyer. ‘They use Holocaust distortion for their political gain’.
Kathrin Meyer, secretary-general of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, or IHRA, said she considers Holocaust distortion particularly dangerous, especially as the number of survivors dwindles with each passing year. This week, when the world focuses on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, only 50 survivors took part in ceremonies at the Nazi death camp in Poland – down from 300 just five years ago.
“Obviously, it’s an insult to the victims, but it’s also a threat to our democracy because you will not find a single radical, anti-democratic, nationalistic, imperialistic group ideology that does not have a distorted view of the Holocaust,” Meyer said about distortions that are often disguised as differing opinions rather than outright lies.
Tracking Holocaust denial and distortion is part of its wider mandate to address “contemporary challenges related to the Holocaust and genocide of the Roma people,” according to its website.
One example Meyer offered is that of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s constant vilification of neighboring Ukraine as a “Nazi government” despite the fact that Ukraine’s Jewish president, Volodymyr Zelensky, was democratically elected.
“It’s always those who attack freedom, liberal views, diversity and pluralistic societies,” said Meyer, who is stepping down from her position after two decades. “They use Holocaust distortion for their political gain.”
IHRA defines antisemitism as having a “certain perception of Jews that may be expressed as hatred” toward them. That perception includes certain kinds of rhetoric and action aimed at Israel and its supporters — for example, denying Jews the right to self-determination or calling Israel a “racist[sic] endeavor.”
Proponents of the definition see those examples as an important response to events like the sharp rise in vandalism of synagogues and cemeteries, verbal and physical attacks against Jews and “anti-Zionist” incitement since the October 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel by Hamas and the subsequent war in Gaza.
“The events of October 7 have tragically proven us right. There cannot be a debate on antisemitism without looking into the completely biased criticism of Israel that we often see,” Meyer said. “This dramatic increase in antisemitic incidents came right after the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust. The fact that this didn’t lead to more solidarity but to more antisemitism shows how deep this hatred goes, and how irrational it often is.”

Senate Democrats block ICC sanctions bill. Senate Democrats vote against Republican-led bill aimed at sanctioning officials from the International Criminal Court in response to arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.
The proposed legislation sought to penalize the ICC for issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who have been accused by the ICC accused them of committing war crimes during and after the Hamas October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel.
The legislation, which was approved by the House of Representatives on January 9, targets any foreigner involved in investigating, arresting, detaining, or prosecuting US citizens or those of allied nations that are not ICC members, including Israel.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune criticized the ICC's decision, arguing that equating Israeli leaders with Hamas was “beyond the pale.”
Democrats, concerned that opposing the bill might be framed as being anti-Israel, deliberated extensively before taking action. Ultimately, only Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, a staunch supporter of Israel, voted in favor of the measure.

RV packed with explosives and a list of Jewish addresses sparks concern in Australia. The discovery follows a spate of antisemitic arson and vandalism in the country. Huge miracle Down Under: explosives for “Mass-Casualty” attack on Jewish target found In Sydney. “That Is Terrorism” announced a headline in The Sydney Morning Herald. The trailer was marked with an antisemitic offensive epithet and with several addresses of targets, including a Sydney shul. The trailer was found 10 days ago and was only revealed after an investigation into the potential “mass casualty event” was leaked to the media. According to the report, New South Wales (NSW) police were called by a local resident on January 19 after he discovered the trailer. Australia in general and Sydney in particular has suffered a wave of antisemitic attacks in recent weeks and months. Last week, a daycare near a Jewish school and a shul was set on fire in the middle of the night. The day after the attack, Australian federal police launched an investigation regarding suspicions that the recent antisemitic attacks in the country are funded by “overseas actors.” Later that day, the police arrested a suspect involved in the attempted arson attack of a Sydney shul earlier this month.

Surrounded by terrorists: Agam Berger on stage at the brutal liberation ceremony.
Like mother, like daughter: Agam kept Shabbat and kosher - even during captivity.
Gaza Arab mob attacks the kidnapped people who were in captivity after 482 days. Infuriating footage from Gaza: Masses of terrorists surround Red Cross vehicles. Israeli civilian hostage Arbel Yehud surrounded by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists before being handed over to a Red Cross team in southern Gaza, she looked scared to death. Thousands of Palestinians gathered around the Red Cross vehicles and did not allow them [Gadi - elderly and Abel - female] to continue their journey after the hostages were handed over.
'Chaos in Khan Yunis: Lots of people around the kidnapped vehicles. Thousands of bloodthirsty Gaza residents reached the point where the kidnapped were handed over to the Red Cross and attached to the vehicles in which they were held. The Hamas terrorists were unable to control the incident and the transfer of the hostages was delayed for a long time.'
'On the way to lynching: the hostages are abandoned in silence in the face of the frenzy of the releases. Hamas turned the event of the release of the abductees into showpieces, triumphal displays of power, humiliation, nationalism and incitement. Inciting signs against Israel are raised in every corner, "Victory" displays in front of IDF units star and the humiliation of the abductees is the crowning glory of the barbarians. Such events can deteriorate quickly, very quickly and in extreme ways. Take this deadly combination, which is already getting worse from week to week, and boil it some more over the coming weekend, and the week after that, and another one after that. Already now the Gazan crowd is attacking each abductee, throwing hands and fists, hitting the vehicles carrying them home, shaking them and shouting victory cries to Allah. It doesn't take much for this "humiliating" event to turn deadly, all it takes is for one Gazan to replace the hand reaching out to grab the clothes of the young girls or the elderly with a knife or a rock. As long as Israel allows Hamas to turn the release of the prisoners into a show event, their lives are in greater danger during the release than anywhere else.'
Netanyahu condemns ‘unimaginable cruelty’ of Hamas after hostages mobbed "I demand that the mediators ensure that such horrific scenes do not recur," said the Israeli prime minister, after masses of Gaza residents swarmed the returnees.

Threatening Jews 6,000 miles from Israel does nothing for Palestinians, Ohio State student says. “It is 2025 and the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz being liberated, and there is someone Jewish in Ohio, in America, that is scared to walk home,” the student said. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Ohio State University senior Adam Kling estimates that he’s seen between 50 and 100 anti-Israel protests on campus in the last four years. But what the Jewish biomedical engineering student experienced on Jan. 27, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, was new to him.
On Jan/27/2025 evening, some 60 antisemitic protesters braved near-freezing temperatures to chant and yell outside of the Schottenstein Chabad House at OSU in an effort to disrupt presentations by two former Israeli soldiers about their experiences being injured while responding to Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023 terror attacks in southern Israel.
Although the Chabad center bears the public university’s name, it’s not an official Ohio State University entity and its current building is off-campus. Kling told JNS that it was unusual for protesters to target a site that wasn’t on the university grounds.

Agam Berger's father to Trump: 'History will never forget your generosity and leadership'.
Remarkable: Israeli female hostage Agam Berger used a Siddur she found in the ruins of Gaza. Despite the unimaginable tzaros she endured, Berger remained steadfast in her observing Jewish law, holding tight to kosher, Shabbat, and even fasting on Yom Kippur and Tisha B’Av.
Berger shared that the siddur was likely left behind by soldiers who had previously been in the area. She also related that when her captors attempted to give her a Quran, urging her to take it, she outright refused.
Meanwhile, it was also reported on a deeply moving event that took place in Berger’s hospital ward. In an expression of gratitude to the Almighty, Berger and her fellow lookout girls —who were captured together in Nachal Oz—gathered with their families for a special Jewish event. With heartfelt prayers and thanking Hashem, they marked their return home.
"Path of faith I chose":
With shofar and tears: The Berger family welcomes Shabbat with Agam. The returning lookout observer, Agam Berger, and her parents became very famous for the Kiddush HaShem [Lev. 22:32] of that they performed for the sake of the Sabbath | Today (Friday). Agam's parents gave a short statement at Beilinson Hospital where their family is staying. At the end of the statement, Rabbi blew the shofar, and then the parents and those present sang "Shalom Aleichem, O angels of service," praying that the angels will protect our brothers who are still languishing in Hamas captivity.
Meirav and Shlomi, Agam's parents, issued a brief statement today (Friday) at Beilinson Hospital where their daughter is staying. The mother said: "[Shma Yisrael] Hear Israel, God our God is one God - Agam has returned home." "On this moving day, I want to say one thing - thank you, thank you to the Creator of the world." Thank you to all Diaspora Jewry that stood by us throughout this period." "Thank you to everyone who was by our side and helped us bring our Agam home." The mother thanked "our dedicated IDF soldiers who helped us bring Agam home." And also "the decision makers who went above and beyond to make the difficult decisions to help bring Agam home." Thank you to Chabad, the Kissufim organization, the Ayelet Hashachar organization, and our community in Holon. And she added with excitement: "We could not have gotten through these 482 days without your help."
The mother turned to her immediate family and thanked them: "Thank you to my husband and family, we embarked on an unexpected journey." To her returning daughter, Agam, she said: "Agam, you are our superhero, with God's help, take on the whole world, who will say no to you?"
The mother also thanked President Trump, concluding by saying, "We have a special strength, we are with 'desire life' [Ps.34:13] with a dedication to bringing everyone home." The father, Shlomi, also thanked President Trump for the great efforts in returning his daughter Agam to Israel.
The mother finished the statement and said: "How manifold are Thy works, O LORD!' [Ps.104:24], 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good for his mercy endures forever' [Ps.136:1]. Am Yisrael Chai [The Jewish people live]."

Parting Words: Israel Prison Service's wristbands for released terrorists.
The wristband bears an ominous message in both Hebrew and Arabic that 'the eternal nation does not forget.'
As part of the hostage deal, the Israel Prison Service has been issuing a wristband to every terrorist released. Each band is individually labeled with the prisoner's name and identity number.
Along with this information, each band includes a message in Hebrew and Arabic, reading 'The eternal nation does not forget.' This is a paraphrase of a common Israeli proverb 'The eternal Nation is not afraid of a long journey.'

HALEVY: That's exactly what happened in actual fact. It was not only the fact that every day many, many thousands were leaving Gaza to work in Israel. It is also a fact that Israel opened its hospitals for treatment of people in Gaza. In many cases, giving the best treatment that can be given, whether it's in the operating room or elsewhere.
And I think that in this, Israel more or less was extending a hand to Hamas without saying it in as many words. And they, at the same time -- and at the same time, as receiving all of this, they were planning something totally different and they were able to keep it secret.- ↑ Kan news, Oct 2, 2023
