“Oct 7 2023”

There is no angrier group of people in the West right now than the people who have been screaming about Israel committing a “genocide” and about the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Samar Alkhdour is a Palestinian refugee living in Montreal who recently brought her entire family despite her hate of Canada.

Upon hearing of a signed peace deal, Samar Alkhdour is calling for even more escalation & protest in Canada as long as Israel exists.

While international negotiators finalize a hostage-prisoner exchange between Hamas and Israel, Gaza is anything but peaceful amid internecine fighting between Hamas and Palestinian clans that Hamas considers rivals for power or traitors to its cause.

Over the weekend, at least 19 and as many as 25 members of the Dughmush clan, a powerful, mafia-like family based in the eastern part of Gaza City, were reportedly murdered after its members clashed with Hamas leaders following the ceasefire agreement with Israel.

Was this the cause of Mr. FAFO’s fate?

Sdrerot, Israel — Their appearance on this stage, after two years of unending agony, penetrated the soul of this country. They did not hide their compassion and empathy for the hostages, as well as Israelis and Palestinians. They acknowledged the carnage and spoke eloquently of their commitment to do everything possible to end it. Everywhere.

When Witkoff took the stage, he began by mentioning “Prime Minister Netanyahu.” For several minutes, many in the crowd booed and shouted, “Shame! Shame!”

The Israeli military says 20 living hostages have been released by Hamas and have returned to Israel. Until Monday, 48 hostages were still being held in Gaza, although some are believed to be dead.

All but one of the hostages were among the 251 people abducted during the Palestinian group’s attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, during which about 1,200 other people were killed.

‘Long and painful nightmare finally over,’ Trump tells Israel’s parliament

US President Donald Trump has told cheering Israeli lawmakers that “the long and painful nightmare is finally over”, after helping to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

During the first such address by a US president since 2008, Trump said the day would mark “the moment that everything began to change, and change very much for the better” in the Middle East.

Trump’s address to the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, comes on the day that the last 20 living hostages held in the Palestinian enclave were released by Hamas.

The war in Gaza may soon be winding down, but the war against Israel and Jews won’t stop. A coordinated wave of boycotts, disinvitations, and street intimidation continues to target Israel and Jewish communities across Europe, North America, and Australia.

Nope. Islam compels its adherents to murder in the name of Allah.

All 20 hostages still thought to be alive are expected to be released. Israel is expected to free about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in return

The increase in antisemitism has been alarming. Now that peace appears to be on the horizon it needs to be studied for what it really is. It has revealed a familiar but poorly understood aspect of human behavior. It is not so much a matter of hatred and evil as you might think. It’s a lot more complicated. It’s ugly, sure enough but so many of the mob seem to be nice normal people in other ways. Nice normal people, though, often are the ones that do the worst things. Certainly, they have been inflamed and insensate – that is what a mob is. But a mob is nothing without the participation of the people who will regret it later.

From Taybe to Tucker Carlson, Palestinians are trying to drive a wedge between the Christian world and Israel, while Israel’s government appears to be asleep on guard duty.

In recent months, we have witnessed a well-timed campaign led by the Palestinian Authority, civil society organizations and anti-Israel Christian elements – some of them declared anti-Semitic – to undermine the relations between the State of Israel and Christian communities around the world, especially evangelical and pro-Israel Christians whose long-standing support for Israel is not self-evident.

But terror group refuses to disarm calling into question key points in US president’s peace deal

Hamas will relinquish control of Gaza but won’t disarm, a source close to the terror group’s negotiation committee said.

Israel is bracing to receive all 20 hostages as part of the initial deal to end the war, with the vice-president JD Vance saying they could be handed over “any moment now”.

Israel says the exchange will happen on Monday morning, when Donald Trump is due to arrive in Israel before flying to Egypt for a truce ceremony.

Cyrus The Great – Big on diversity?

This was always a war that Israel could not afford to lose but could never decisively win. It remains to be seen whether the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas represents a successful outcome for the Jewish State or a Pyrrhic victory.

Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, was right to say yesterday that ‘the world is witnessing a historic moment’. But his claim that the deal opens ‘a door of hope for the peoples of the region for a future defined by justice and stability’ sounds like wishful thinking.

Despite the Israel-Hamas war dominating Canadian political discourse in recent years, two new polls find that a significant number of Canadians don’t know or care much about the conflict.

And even among the Canadians who claim to be well-informed, they often fail to correctly answer basic follow-up questions about the issue.
