“Oct 7 2023”

Numerous world leaders acknowledged on Tuesday the second anniversary of the Hamas attacks in southern Israel, with calls to end the war and the release of hostages.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that, “The horror of that dark day will be forever seared in the memories of us all. Two years later, hostages remain captive in Gaza in deplorable conditions.

Canadian Oct. 7 ‘martyrs’ events panned for glorifying terrorism

Hamas victims’ families and Canadian Jewish groups are condemning anti-Israel protesters’ plans for events commemorating the “martyrs of Palestine” on Tuesday, the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks.

“When you think they can’t sink any lower, they do,” said Raquel Look, a Montreal woman whose son, Alexandre, was murdered on Oct. 7, 2023, after attending the Nova Music Festival in Re’im, southern Israel.

2 years into the war, these figures illustrate the scale of Israel’s destruction of Gaza

Over the last couple of years, Palestinians across the Gaza Strip have faced unrelenting bombardment, mass hunger and recurring displacement as Israeli fighting continues in the territory.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 67,000 Palestinians and seriously injured nearly 170,000, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The offensive followed the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which killed nearly 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

Hamas fires rockets into town attacked on Oct 7

A rocket has been fired from Gaza into an Israeli town that was raided by Hamas terrorists on Oct 7 two years ago to the day.

The projectile struck close to Netiv HaAsara, a small farming community on Gaza’s northern border, on Tuesday morning, the Israeli military said. Nobody was injured during the attack, it added.

Hamas demands release of Oct 7 attackers in exchange for hostages

Hamas has demanded the release of captured terrorists who took part in the October 7 massacre, sources have said.

The terror group has reportedly requested that “Nukhba fighters”, the elite special forces unit who led the massacre, be added to the list of currently imprisoned Palestinians slated for release in exchange for the Israeli hostages.

The demand risks scuppering any chance of a deal.

Telegram live Feed: London “”Pro-Palestine Protests” of Oct 7.

Negotiators from Hamas, the Israeli government and the United States today arrived in Cairo to thrash out the final details of a peace plan. After many false dawns, an agreement here could bring two years of bloodshed to an end.

According to reports in Israel, a breakthrough came when Trump realised that his one-man fixer Steve Witkoff was out of his depth, and added Jared Kushner to the negotiating team. It might be surprising that Kushner, whose great success in life is marrying Ivanka Trump, could have made the difference in such an intractable situation. Yet he has a greater familiarity with Benjamin Netanyahu, not to mention longstanding business contacts in the Arab world.

Yesterday was the day fixed by President Trump by which Hamas had to accept his plan to bring an end to the unpleasantness in Gaza… or else!

Any attempt to portray Hamas’s purported acceptance of US President Donald J. Trump’s proposal to end the war in the Gaza Strip as a sign that either the Palestinian Authority (PA) or the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group is now interested in peace with Israel is misleading and baseless.

Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are not, and never were, interested in peace with Israel. The only peace they envision is one that would see Israel eliminated and replaced with an Islamist state, preferably, each with itself as the head.

40% of white voters support Israel. Minority voters support the ‘Palestinians.’

The New York Times poll showing what the paper described as a “major drop in support for Israel” sent shockwaves through the Jewish community. But few drilled down to see what the numbers really showed.

I did.

Noa Tishby, one of Israel’s best-known advocates, is waging a narrative battle that she says is aimed as much at defending Western values as the Jewish state.

With an Instagram following of nearly a million and an X following of almost a quarter million, she has fought misinformation in real time since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, against the TikTok bots, campus protests, and celebrities tilting the court of public opinion against Israel and the West.

While Prime Minister Mark Carney and the United Nations were spouting empty rhetoric about recognizing a non-existent state of Palestine last month, U.S. President Donald Trump was working on a practical, 20-point plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas.

Survey says!

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he hopes to announce the release of hostages being held in Gaza “in the coming days”.

In a televised statement, he also said “Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be demilitarised – either the easy way or the hard way, but it will be achieved.”

The comments came after Hamas released a statement on Friday in which it agreed to free the hostages under a US peace plan, but did not mention disarmament and sought negotiations on other issues.

Hamas? No one can trust them.
