Back in March, the Biden administration claimed that it was persuading the Palestinian Authority (PA), led by Mahmoud Abbas, to change its murder-for-hire “pay for slay” policy. Terrorists who have been imprisoned in Israel for their crimes, as well as families of deceased or wounded terrorists, receive monthly stipends as a reward for murdering Jews. The longer the prison sentence, the higher the monthly stipend. Talk about incentivizing and encouraging terrorism.

A group of violent pro-Palestine protesters yesterday broke into the UK headquarters of an Israeli-owned arms company—likely taking advantage of current UK-wide chaos following the killing of three young girls in Southport last week.

Members of the Palestine Action protest network, which describes its aim as “dismantling British complicity with Israeli apartheid,” ram-raided Elbit Systems UK’s highly secure Horizon research, development, and manufacturing facility near Bristol.

How did Italian and other Western media describe the Hamas murderer assassinated in Tehran? And his cohort, Deif? and Meshaal? Unbelievable.

One of the lessons of the woke and politically correct line, cleverly hijacked by Islamic extremists, is that we need to use sweet terms for those good and benevolent guys from Hamas and Hezbollah.

For the BBC, Ismail Haniyeh was thus “moderate and pragmatic”. The New York Times portrayed the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf Qaradawi, as “committed to pluralism and democracy.”

In Italy things are even worse.

“They are fighting like lions in these alleys, under constant threat. They are heroes. This is not a simple war,” recalled Lt. Col. Almog Rotem, a battalion commander in the Israel Defense Forces, about what is faced by his soldiers in the Rafah campaign, in Gaza. “This was a severe event that should never have happened but did. We’re in a grueling, challenging war…. My heart goes out to the families of the fallen; we will… complete the mission…. Not a single soldier has said, ‘I don’t want to continue.'”

The last time we heard from CBS correspondent Imtiaz Tyab, we watched him seethe over the IDF airstrike that killed Fuad Shukr, the Hezbollah military commander that was involved in the 1983 bombing of Marine Barracks Beirut that killed 241 Marines and, more recently, the drone bombing of a soccer field that killed 12 Druze children. I regret to inform you that Tyab is mad again.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City journalist was arrested on felony hate crime charges Tuesday after filming a pro-Palestinian protest earlier this summer in which activists hurled red paint at the homes of top leaders at the Brooklyn Museum.

Samuel Seligson, an independent videographer, was not involved in the vandalism and is only accused of documenting it, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the case. The official spoke with The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.

Leena Widdi, an attorney for Seligson, said New York Police Department officers twice raided Seligson’s Brooklyn apartment in the past week before he turned himself in early Tuesday.

Yahya Sinwar will be the new political leader of Hamas following the assassination of Ishmail Haniyeh in Tehran.

Sinwar is the military leader of Hamas in Gaza, and has been running the war against Israel from an underground bunker.

Viewed by the Israelis as the mastermind of the Oct 7 attacks, he has been labelled a “dead man walking” by military chiefs.

TEL AVIV—Israel is preparing for a coordinated attack from Iran and its allies that will present the biggest test yet for a multilayered air defense system that has had to expand far beyond the country’s vaunted Iron Dome system.

In the past decade, the U.S.-Israel-developed Iron Dome has become the world’s leading system for shooting down short-range rockets, reducing the threat from weapons fired by Washington-designated terrorist groups like Hamas to population centers.

Iran and Lebanon-based Hezbollah’s capabilities are another matter.

Iran has drones and ballistic missiles that Iron Dome isn’t designed to stop. And Hezbollah has an arsenal with tens of thousands of mortars, rockets and precision-guided missiles that could threaten to overwhelm the country’s defenses.

The United Nations admitted Monday that nine employees of its controversial agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, “may have been involved” in Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel.

The UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services said its probe into 19 UNRWA staffers accused of aiding in the massacre found that nearly half of them likely played an active role in the horror, which left more than 1,200 people dead and another 250 kidnapped.
