A Palestinian who was heralded as a “hero” and compared to Rosa Parks by liberal media after she assaulted an Israel Defense Forces soldier in Nabi Selah, a village in the West Bank, was arrested Monday by the IDF for allegedly inciting terrorism and calling for drinking the blood of Jews.
Excited but mostly peaceful protesters enthusiastically knock on the doors of Grand Central Station in NYC in order to hold a debate about the history of Israel with the police officers who have sheltered inside to avoid discussing this difficult topic.pic.twitter.com/v1SCBeIKlE
Israeli officials on Thursday, November 9th, announced that it will implement daily, “tactical, localized pauses” in its military operations in Gaza to allow for the evacuation of civilians and distribution of humanitarian aid, but emphasized no ceasefire will occur until all hostages are released.
Of course, long before Indigo Books was vandalized, Jewish businesses had already been targeted here in the weeks before the 85th anniversary of the ‘Night of the Broken Glass’ that saw dozens of Jews murdered and thousands of synagogues, businesses and homes burned in Germany and Austria.
Thursday evening, pro-Palestinian protesters called for jihad on federal property. We should take it seriously.
Rally leaders at the State Department chanted "there is only one solution, intifada revolution," "long live the intifada," "resistance is justified when people are occupied," and, in Arabic, "the door of al-Aqsa is made of iron, only a martyr can open it." https://t.co/68D34rNo1apic.twitter.com/ji2O6tt21b
Critics say cops aren’t enforcing the law fairly. Cops say they are scared to.
On October 17, a man posted a video on Twitter of a street in his East London neighborhood. There was a Turkish restaurant, a Dominos, graffiti—and lots of Palestinian flags.
“Look at this crap here,” the man, known only as John A, is heard saying. He has a working-class, Scottish accent. “You let them into the country, and this is the shit they come up with.”
Two weeks later, on the night of October 31, police officers showed up at John A’s apartment.
Why do people with no knowledge of the Israel-Hamas conflict feel the need to join these awful marches?
A short video was shared on X this week in which two young female protesters at a pro-Palestine march were asked a pretty straightforward question about the crisis in the Middle East: ‘When Hamas invaded Israel on the 7 October, what was your initial reaction to that?’
The first one looked briefly confused. Was this a trick?, she seemed to be thinking. Her companion stepped in: ‘I don’t believe they did, did they? Hamas?’ Then something started coming back to the first one. The stirrings of something like a distant memory. ‘I think so…’, she said, trying to correct her friend who didn’t think Hamas had done anything.
The Met are set to form a ‘ring of steel’ to quash any hint of trouble around this week’s Remembrance events amid fears of a pro-Palestine protest clashing with the Armistice Day parades.
Police chiefs have cancelled leave, extended overtime and drafted in 1,000 more officers from across Britain to reinforce their ranks.
And senior public order officers are set to give orders to immediately clamp down on any criminality or violence.
The Israel Defence Forces have been attacking Hamas in Gaza from land, sea and air for two weeks now, following a three-week air campaign. Before ground operations began, US military advisers urged the Israelis not to launch a large-scale campaign, which they believed would result in an IDF bloodbath – and be less effective than a combination of air strikes and special forces raids. The IDF rejected that advice, and moved into Gaza with a large combined arms force. And it has confounded its critics.
Amid Israel’s onslaught in Gaza, the Jewish voices offering nuance — and dissent — are more important than ever
On the morning of Oct. 8, the day after the deadly Hamas attacks in Israel, Eli Spiegel was reeling from the news of the massacre.
“What we were witnessing was horrific and intense,” he told the Star. Yet, when he opened Instagram, he didn’t find people talking about the violence that was unfolding, but instead expressing support for Palestinian resistance.
When he wrote a post suggesting that people leave space for others to grieve before waving flags and chanting slogans, he found a handful of people being hateful, mocking him.
I don’t know how many “Nuanced Jews” make up the diaspora in North America but there sure seems to be a lot of them.
The White House has just announced that there will be daily “four-hour pauses“, with eight hours’ notice, in northern Gaza.
As Israel maintains its military offensive to destroy Hamas’s terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, the biggest threat to the operation achieving its stated objective of wiping Hamas from the face of the earth comes not the Islamist fanatics desperately defending their network of underground tunnels but from the Biden administration’s obsession, possibly after seeing so many staged demonstrations, with having “ceasefires.”
Ceasefires have deteriorated into a form of virtue signaling.
