Islamist anti-Semitism is behind Israel’s darkest hour since the Yom Kippur war

The intelligence failure was astonishing. As Israel fell silent to observe a religious holiday, it was surprised by a massive assault that nobody had anticipated. This was as close as the Jewish state had ever come to destruction. By the end, casualties were three times higher per capita than the United States had suffered in Vietnam. This was the Yom Kippur war of exactly 50 years ago. Yet it forms a disturbingly close parallel to the catastrophe that engulfs the Jewish state today.

Naked woman paraded by jeering Hamas fighters

The naked body of a woman was paraded through the streets in the back of a pick-up truck on Saturday as Hamas fighters sat on her corpse.

A celebrating crowd surrounded the armed men in combat fatigues, who shouted “Allah Akbar” from the open back of the truck.

Some in the crowd, which included youngsters, spat on the woman’s body before the truck sped away on a day of unprecedented massacres of Israeli civilians.

No such thing as “Disproportionate response.”

Hamas’s unprecedented attack on Israel was meant to bring war

In the early hours of this morning, Israelis had a flashback to the surprise attack of the Yom Kippur War that started almost 50 years ago to the day, in October 1973. Hamas says it has launched 5,000 missiles deep into Israeli territory. The missiles were used to mask a much more elaborate attack that saw dozens of Hamas terrorists, dressed in uniform and — according to reports on Israeli media — heavily armed with machine guns and grenades, invade Israeli territory. The terrorists entered towns and villages by foot, paraglides and vehicles. Fighting between Israeli security services and the terrorists has gone on for hours, with reports of dead, injured and kidnapped soldiers and civilians.

IDF: State of alert for war | Massive terror attack in Israel

Since the early hours of the morning, the Hamas terrorist organization has begun a massive shooting of rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory, and terrorists infiltrated into Israeli territory in a number of different locations.

According to initial reports, there are nany casualties and a concern that Israelis have been abducted and brought to the Gaza strip.

Civilians in the southern and central areas are required to stay next to shelters, and in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip, inside shelters.

Does not yet seem a determined effort by Hezbollah

Hamas is the Palestinian Wagner Group

Much was made recently of the criminal army known as the Wagner Group.

They do not conform to conventional military morals or comply with international military law.

They were, until they threatened to turn against him, Putin’s proxy army that operated more brutally, but with greater military success, than his conventional army.

One thinks this is unique, but consider this.

Consider Hezbollah as Iran’s Wagner Group. Operating under no international constraints, they now control the country in which they are based, Lebanon.

Hamas in Sweden

The European Palestinians Conference, held in Malmö, Sweden on May 27, had clear and strong connections with Hamas, including through conference chairman Amin Abu Rashid. Before the conference, it was reported that several members of parliament from Sweden’s Green Party, Left Party and Social Democratic Party would be participating in the conference.

When the Swedish media wrote about the connection between the European Palestinians Conference and Hamas, however, MPs, one by one, began withdrawing from the conference — although, notably, without distancing themselves from Hamas.

Issues of Concern

Hamas is extreme in its ideology, which is radical Islamist. They have absolutely no desire to resolve their conflict with Israel in the ways that Western leaders hope and expect — which is settling the conflict by accepting what we have been calling a two‑part state for a very long time. That is not the objective of Hamas. The objective of Hamas is to destroy the State of Israel. Keeping the conflict going is, in a way, beneficial to them as a group even if it hurts normal people.

As long as Hamas holds onto that stance, stays with that extreme position and remains intransigent, the problem will never be resolved. I forget the count of the number of intifadas that we have seen or are going to see.

Hamas in Turkey: Money Laundering, Turkish Passports, Government Collusion and Terror Bank Accounts

“Tayyip [Erdoğan] is a Jew who pretends to be a Muslim,” wrote Yüksel Üstün, on his Facebook account in 2020. In November 2021, a criminal court sentenced Üstün with a fine of 7,000 Turkish liras ($385) for “insulting the president.” In the complaint, filed by Hüseyin Aydın, an attorney for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the expression “Jew” (when applied to Erdoğan) was deemed “humiliating, damaging to honor and dignity.”

Hamas-Loving, Israel-Hating Newspaper Publisher Successfully Lobbies Biden Admin To Create Muslim Outreach Post

Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas created a Muslim community outreach position after meeting with an Arab-American activist who has cheered violence against Israel and praised the terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas.

Mayorkas met on March 18 with Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani, who has called Hamas and Hezbollah “freedom fighters,” and other activists in Dearborn, Mich., over their concerns with racial profiling by the Department of Homeland Security. Siblani, who urged Arabs last month to fight Israel with “stones” and “guns,” has lobbied DHS for years to appoint a liaison between the agency and Michigan’s robust Arab community. He praised Mayorkas after he announced the position on March 30.

Palestinians vent against Hamas in rare online event

Hundreds of Palestinian activists have been taking part in a rare online event strongly criticising Hamas governance of the Gaza Strip.

They Kidnapped Gaza began as an audio discussion on Twitter on Thursday.

“Imagine your one-month-old son dies because of the cold. Imagine your son dying because there is no electricity, no money, no wages and no home,” said Mahmoud Nashwan.

“Injustice will fall and every oppressor will fall,” added the 32-year-old engineer from Gaza, who now lives in Belgium.

Hamas and Fatah shoot each other up at terrorist’s funeral … only 3 dead… TDSB to fly flag at half-mast

 

At least three people were killed and several others wounded after rival Palestinian armed groups Hamas and Fatah clashed during a funeral at a refugee camp in Lebanon on Sunday.

Fatah gunmen “shot at the funeral procession” at the Burj el-Shemali camp, outside the southern port city of Tyre, Hamas official Raafat al-Murra said.

At least three Hamas members were killed in the attack, while six people were wounded, according to al-Murra. Some local media outlets put the death toll at four.

A Canadian Circus

… The happy news last week was that the Toronto District School Board Trustees voted to reject the recommendation to censure Ms. Lulka.

It was, though, a 10-7 vote. Which means that seven of the distinguished Canadian citizens entrusted with overseeing Toronto’s educational system found Ms. Lulka’s pointing out materials supportive of killing Jews to have been an unacceptable act. Worthy, in fact, of censure.

Sorry, Everyone, Hamas is Still a Terrorist Group

One of the arguments that is being raised against the British government’s recent decision to designate Hamas an extremist terrorist organization is that the Gaza-based movement, which does not recognize Israel’s right to exist, has changed and now supports the establishment of a Palestinian state next to Israel.

Opponents of the UK’s decision claim that in 2017 Hamas “softened its stance on Israel by accepting the idea of a Palestinian state in territories occupied by Israel in the six-day war of 1967.”

‘Londonistan’: Hamas’ base of operations in England

The UK’s Home Secretary Priti Patel laid before the UK’s Parliament on Friday an order to outlaw the Hamas Islamist terrorist movement in its entirety from the UK.

The order states that “Hamas is an organization which calls for the establishment of an Islamic Palestinian state under Sharia law and has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel. It has long been involved in significant terrorist violence.”

The organization’s military wing is already banned in the UK since March 2001, but “following a new assessment the Home Secretary has concluded it should be proscribed in its entirety. This action will support efforts to protect the British public and the international community in the global fight against terrorism.”

Hamas to be declared a terrorist group by UK

Home Secretary Priti Patel has announced she is seeking to declare the whole of Palestinian militant group Hamas a terrorist organisation.

The military wing of the group which controls Gaza is already proscribed a terrorist organisation by the UK.

However, the change will also cover the Islamist movement’s political wing.

It is a criminal offence to belong to or invite support for a proscribed organisation or wear clothing which could be seen to support the group.
