Hamas violence in Israel has been described as “worse than ISIS” as images shared online show a purported beheading of an Israeli Defense Force soldiers.
This comes as the death toll is estimated to be over 700 following Hamas’ brutal assault in southern Israel.
Users on X were left shocked as the horrifying images of Hamas terrorist violence were shared on the platform.
Celebrating the murder and kidnapping of innocent Israeli civilians by Hamas — classified as a terrorist organization by Canada since 2002 — is immoral.
Demonstrations and declarations of support for Hamas in Canada are despicable, but not surprising.

No one should be surprised.
A senior European source tells The Times of Israel that the decision announced earlier today by European Union Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi to immediately sever all EU aid to the Palestinians will not be implemented, due to opposition from member states.
Varhelyi is a diplomat from Hungary, which takes a much more hawkish approach toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than many of the 27 other members of the EU.

The bitter harvest of then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s fateful 2004 decision to send 55,000 soldiers to remove 8,000 settlers from Gaza, Israel’s largest military operation since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, has achieved full bloom. The toll of Hamas’ deadly incursion into Israel amounts to some 700 dead (far exceeding America’s death-to-population ratio of 9/11), 2,300 injured and an estimated 100 kidnapped. Images of the invaders freely wreaking havoc for hours stunned the world, eliciting unprecedented sympathy and support for Israel from world leaders, including, thankfully, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
So-called ‘progressive’ leftists and migrants across Europe and North America openly celebrated over the weekend after Hamas militants, in an unprecedented incursion out of Gaza, rampaged through communities in Israel, killing some 700 people, injuring thousands, and taking dozens of hostages.
Reports and video footage of people celebrating barbaric attacks by Hamas against Israel across Germany, the UK, Sweden, Greece, the U.S., and Canada have emerged and are circulating across social media networks.
Media, Democrats Show Their Bias on Israel
The news coming out of Israel this weekend has been undeniably brutal. At least 900 Israelis were killed and thousands more injured when Hamas terrorists rampaged through communities along Israel’s border with Gaza, raping and torturing civilians and abducting women, children, and elderly people.
The Biden administration’s former special envoy to Iran, who was placed on leave earlier this year for allegedly mishandling classified material, should face “extensive scrutiny” for his “permissive” stance toward the Tehran regime after it aided Hamas and Hezbollah in carrying out terrorist attacks against Israel, critics said Monday.
“Rob Malley deserves extensive scrutiny — yesterday, today and tomorrow,” Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) told The Post after the Wall Street Journal reported officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps planned and signed off on this weekend’s atrocity that killed at least 900.
This is a huge scandal.
In light of Hamas’ monstrous attack on Israel, which is often called its 9/11, the most horrific massacre of civilians since Israel’s founding, the brutal terror group actually has its defenders in the West. They have crawled out of the woodwork and made themselves known. It’s not just rogue-state leaders, though they are loud and proud for the killers. It’s the global left, which instead of taking the side of peace, rule of law, and civilization, has shown us what they are really about by taking the side of the barbarians.
I can’t believe the insanity I am seeing, just on Twitter alone.
The former president’s Middle East project laid the foundation for today’s chaos
It’s been over 48 hours since the terror rampage that struck Israel. And in that time there has been a flood of statements of support from around the world as well, of course, as vile celebrations of the deaths of Jews.
I thought I got used the perennial cycle of violence that afflicts the Middle East. But after Hamas’ assault on Israel I realise that it is only now that we are truly confronted with the sight of a morally decadent mode of warfare haunting the region.
There will be a lot of discussion and debate on the causes of the current war in Israel. Fingers will be pointed in all kinds of directions and all the different parties will blame each other and seek to excuse their behaviour. No doubt there were times over the years when individual fighters on all sides behaved badly. However, the barbaric behaviour of Hamas is qualitatively different to the normal violence that the different sides inflict on one another.
Islamist terrorists are pursuing an anti-Semitic agenda that long predates the state of Israel.
Hamas’s terror attacks on Israel are part of its standard strategy, albeit on a far larger scale than ever before. By murdering and maiming as many Israeli civilians as possible, Hamas aims to draw Israeli retaliation and then rely on international politicians, NGOs and the commentariat to condemn the Israeli response.
When Hamas launched its latest jihad war against Israel, the Biden regime’s initial response was mind-numbingly predictable. At 2:58AM on Saturday, the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted in Arabic: “The US Embassy is closely monitoring the security situation as a result of rockets being fired from Gaza through southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the infiltration of Hamas activists.” Yeah, “activists” with balaclavas and rifles, committing murder wherever they had the chance.
A distressing video has emerged from Israel that shows a family being held hostage reportedly by armed members of the Hamas group. Shockingly, it has been reported that one of the girls from the family was executed in the presence of her siblings. Israel-based journalist Hananya Naftali shared this alarming information on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Israeli family heartlessly paraded on camera by Hamas terrorists while being taken hostage. One daughter ruthlessly executed, leaving her siblings in traumatic disbelief.
This is beyond a sick act of cruelty.

Colonel Roy Levy, 44, is among dozens of soldiers confirmed dead
Colonel Roy Levy – a legendary Israeli soldier from its elite Ghost unit – was killed during Hamas’s attack on Saturday, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has confirmed.
The 44-year-old from Shavei Tzion is one of dozens of soldiers now confirmed dead.
“The IDF shares in the family’s grief,” the IDF said in a statement.

Above a bit more from Nathan Phillips Square
Biden confirms at least 11 Americans among dead, US citizens ‘likely’ among hostages — as Hamas threatens to kill 1 prisoner for every airstrike
Was October 7 – the day Hamas invaded southern Israel and killed over 600 Israelis, wounded over 2,000, and kidnapped an unknown number at least in the dozens – the worst Israeli intelligence failure in history?
Probably looking back historians will still flag the 1973 Yom Kippur War as much worse because there were more deaths and because the state’s very existence was far more in danger.
But the IDF of 2023 is far more powerful than the IDF of 1973 and Hamas today is far weaker than Egypt and Syria were 50 years ago, so the issue is debatable.
