EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Rashida Tlaib is part of a secret social media group in which its members have glamorized Hamas in its war battle with Israel after the terror group attacked and killed hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians last month, Fox News Digital has found.
The Michigan Democrat is a member of the Palestinian American Congress group on Facebook. The group is hidden from non-members and does not appear on the platform’s search engine, though Fox News Digital was able to gain access to it.
Benjamin Netanyahu has warned America and the West will ‘be next’ if Hamas is not eradicated.
The Israeli PM told Fox News on Monday that for the sake of the ‘civilized world’ it is essential the IDF roots out the terrorists responsible for the October 7 massacre.
Netanyahu said: ‘If we don’t win now, then Europe is next and you’re next. And we have to win.
Israel says its military has entered Gaza’s largest hospital in a “precise and targeted operation” against Hamas.
The al-Shifa hospital has been the site of a stand-off, with debate raging over the Israeli claim that it is being used as cover for a Hamas command and control centre in bunkers built ten metres underground. Hamas and Shifa medical staff deny the allegation.
More … IDF says it has entered Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital in ‘targeted operation’ against Hamas
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu teed off on Justin Trudeau’s critique on Tuesday about his country’s war against Hamas, saying the militant group is committing a “double war crime” by putting civilians’ lives at risk in Gaza.
The death of a 19-year-old hostage who is believed to have been killed amid airstrikes in Gaza has been weaponised as part of a campaign of “psychological terrorism” by Hamas, Israel said.
Amnon Scheffler, a spokesman for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), said that a video released by Hamas of Noa Marciano, a soldier from Modiin who turned 19 while kidnapped, was “horrific and evil and clearly psychological warfare”.
In a video released by Hamas last night, Marciano said that she was being held with others. “The bombing is very close to us … We could die from the bombings” she said, apparently reading from a script. “Please stop.”
The Oct. 17 “bombing” of the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City led to a “day of rage” against Israel throughout the Muslim world. Of course, when it was revealed that, rather than a hospital being bombed by Israeli war planes, a parking lot was hit by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket, we did not hear calls for a day of rage against Palestinian terror groups.
While the slaying of some 1,400 Jews by Hamas is a major tragedy in and of itself, other important facets of the story merit attention. For example, a Harris poll taken after the massacre reveals that 51% of American 18-24-year-olds think the murder of innocent Jewish men, women, and babies was justified, and much of this Jew hatred can be attributed to our nation’s schools.
The Daily Wire commentators are now in rival camps
Recent developments in America’s conservative media landscape have illuminated deepening fissures over Israel, with implications that could ripple through the broader Republican Party. Boiling-over tensions between commentators Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro over their differing views on Israel’s actions in the conflict with Hamas exemplify this divide.
Can we criticise Greta Thunberg now? For a time, anyone who raised even the mildest objection to the pint-sized prophetess of doom risked being damned as a bully. Surely this moratorium on Greta-scepticism will end following her platforming – to use woke lingo – of an activist with very iffy views. An activist who has trivialised the Holocaust and seems pretty chilled about Hamas’s pogrom of 7 October. Calling out Greta for her fact-lite blather about the planet being ‘on fire’ may have been forbidden – pulling her up for hanging out with Holocaust relativists must not be.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on Palestinians to “voluntarily emigrate” to Western countries on Tuesday in response to an op-ed by Likud MK Danny Danon and Yesh Atid MK Ram Ben Barak that was published in the Wall Street Journal and called on Western countries to accept Gazan refugees.
“I welcome the initiative of voluntary relocation of Gazan Arabs to countries worldwide,” Smotrich wrote. “This is the right humanitarian solution for the residents of Gaza and the whole area after 75 years of being poor refugees. The majority of Gaza is fourth and fifth generations to 1948 refugees who, instead of being rehabilitated long ago like hundreds of millions of refugees around the world, were held hostage in Gaza in poverty and overcrowding and were a symbol of the desire to destroy the State of Israel and of the refugees’ return to Jaffa, Haifa, Acre, and Tiberias.”
He went on to say this has bred the hatred for Israel and Jews “upon which the population in Gaza is raised and educated” and led them to believe that the only solution is the destruction of Israel.
In a part of the world that has long defied peacemakers, they are questions that bring deep furrows to diplomats’ brows. If Israel clears Hamas from the Gaza Strip, what kind of government will replace it? Will it be accepted by the 2.5 million Gazans who live there – and who will be its muscle if Hamas strikes back?
The favoured candidate for the job in the United States and the United Nations is the Palestinian Authority, or PA, which exercises limited self-rule in parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Last week, Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, said that a “hopefully reinvigorated” PA was “the best-case scenario”.
Israel should use ‘maximum restraint’ to protect civilian life in Gaza Strip: Trudeau
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is urging Israel to use maximum restraint to protect civilian life in the brutal war it is waging on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Trudeau says the world is witnessing the killing of women, children and babies, and that this must stop.
Israel declared war against Hamas after its militants killed 1,200 people on Oct. 7, including hundreds of civilians, and took about 240 people hostage.
Netanyahu responds …
It is not Israel that is deliberately targeting civilians but Hamas that beheaded, burned and massacred civilians in the worst horrors perpetrated on Jews since the Holocaust.
While Israel is doing everything to keep civilians out of harm’s way, Hamas is doing…

On the same day that thousands of rockets rained down on innocent Israeli citizens, photos and videos emerged of people dancing in the street. This time, those images were not broadcast from Middle Eastern cities but instead filmed right here in the United States.
The examples are well-known. A man in Boston holds up a phone showing a beheaded baby and makes an obscene hand gesture to the camera, recording his laughter. A hijab-wearing woman at a Democratic Socialists of America rally says she’s glad for the Hamas attack and does not consider herself an American. Students in Cooper Union lead a pro-Palestinian rally brandishing anti-Zionist posters, shouting anti-Semitic slogans, and terrifying Jewish students barricaded in the library as anti-Israel protestors bang on the doors.
Hamilton – November 14 – a shocking video emerges where disgraced MPP Sarah Jama denies the rape of Israeli women on October 7th and accuses the “Zionist lobby” of “pressuring the entire government operation” to accept this “misinformation”

Israel is deliberately using “disproportionate force” in Gaza and targeting “civilian infrastructure” in an effort to limit its own losses and showcase its “military force,” according to a confidential memo from the Dutch Embassy in Tel Aviv.
The memo, drafted by the Dutch defense attaché in the embassy and seen by Dutch outlet NRC, analyzes Israel’s military strategy in Gaza, where Israeli forces have been launching retaliatory airstrikes for over a month straight and conducting a ground invasion, killing more than 11,000 people according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza.
Sound strategy IMO.
