Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel on Oct 7 has understandably been described as Israel’s ‘9/11’ moment.

Leaving more than 1,400 people dead, it was in fact many times worse than al-Qaeda’s terror attacks in the United States two decades ago. In the wake of those attacks in 2001, fuelled by a desire to destroy terrorist threats and assert strength on the international stage, the US invaded Afghanistan and later Iraq.

While those wars raged, eventually leaving at least 400,000 dead, the terrorism threat metastasised, growing in scale, scope and sophistication across the globe.

Police in New York have arrested a Cornell University student who is accused of posting violent threats to Jewish classmates over the weekend.

In a series of posts to a website called Greekrank, a user with the name “hamas” threatened to shoot Jewish students at the prestigious university.

Patrick Dai, 21, is in his third year at the university.

Police say he made threats to bring a gun to campus and rape Jewish women and “behead any Jewish babies”.

Every target in Gaza struck by Israeli jets has been assessed in advance to minimise civilian deaths, the chief of staff of the air force has said in its highest-level defence of the scale of Palestinian casualties.

Brigadier General Eyal Greenbaum said every strike went through 11 or 12 stages of approval before it was authorised. He insisted that the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) were closely following rules of war that demand the rate of civilian deaths be proportional to the importance of the military target being struck.

Yesterday another activist shouted ‘free Palestine’ before emptying a box full of rodents into Perry Barr McDonald’s, also in Birmingham. And the day before, a different McDonald’s was targeted by the mice-hurling yobs in an incident which saw horrified diners flee the restaurant.

It comes after a slew of vile mice attacks by pro-Palestinian activists who have accused McDonald’s of supporting Israel’s war against Hamas, the band of terrorists who slaughtered more than 1,400 Israeli civilians and kidnapped more than 220 more on October 7.

The attacks follow calls to boycott Starbucks and McDonald’s following claims they have backed Israel amid the crisis. Last month, Starbucks sued its union, Starbucks Workers United, after the labour organisation posted a since-deleted message on X expressing solidarity with Palestinians.

More Palestine and Hamas supporting scum throw mice into McDonalds in Small Heath, Birmingham. With extra cruelty they are thrown up in the air.

Becoming a thing …

This is #Erdogan's #Turkey & Turks are becoming more radicalized everyday! Today, this Islamist attacked a McDonnald's Branch in #Mersin while was chanting "Allahu Akbar".

Ryan Albom, 22, was standing just outside the student centre of York University’s Keele St. campus, watching a pro Palestinian rally last Monday when one of his friends pulled out an Israeli flag — and held it up.

At first, no one seemed to notice. Or care, says Albom, a student president of Hillel York, the Jewish students union. But as the rally drew to a close and the crowd disbursed and thinned, one of the protesters turned around, he said, and called Albom and his friend “terrorists.”

“We just stood there,” Albom said. “It was scary and we just didn’t feel comfortable saying anything.”
