Israel’s Cries of Sorrow Fall Upon the World’s Deaf Ears [5:54] Mark Levin Show
December 14, 2023 – The reports emerging from the Middle East are truly heartbreaking. Stories of abductions, sexual assault, and murder persist, alongside an escalating death toll that shows no signs of abating. Israel grieves for its most innocent victims, yet the world remains passive, and this collective indifference may be one of the most profound tragedies amidst this ongoing conflict.
[Ed.: Ya. true. The world could care less, and so does my reader base! One out of six of my reader audience even reads the IINO column! Nevertheless, they loudly say that they just “LOVE Israel”. … What absolute crap! Who is kidding who? This is the message of Chanukah.]
Leo Hohmann: The Collapse of the American Empire
Dec. 14, 2023 6:00 pm – Globalists on a mission: Turn Americans against each other before a foreign power is called in to finish the job
Obama’s new Hollywood movie is very instructive: They are telling us their plans
This article originally appeared on Leo Hohmann’s Substack and was republished with permission.
The globalists believe it’s supremely important to utterly and very publicly destroy the United States of America. Not because America is some bastion of freedom and democracy. It isn’t. Over the last roughly 100 years, America’s major institutions have been infiltrated and completely taken over: government, healthcare, financial and corporations, the mass media, education, law enforcement and the courts, the military, and 90 percent of the churches and synagogues — all have come under the influence and control of the globalist agenda.
Some may believe they are still relevant and independent but when push comes to shove, the overwhelming majority of churches will capitulate to the globalist agenda of the Great Reset, which is aimed at digitizing every nation, every major institution within the nations, and every object living and non-living. Control the food, water, energy and money and you control the people. That’s what Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development and the Great Reset are really all about.
However, despite achieving such an immense level of control, it’s still important for the globalist elites to totally deconstruct and humiliate America, destroy its middle class and bring it to its knees.
You may ask, why are they so intent on destruction if they already control everything?
Because most people around the world still have the perception of America being a beacon of individual freedom and prosperity living under a constitutional republic. Look at how the masses flock to the U.S. southern border in hopes of being granted asylum. That is an idea that must be crushed and driven out of the minds of billions of people. To accomplish that, the globalists must destroy the biggest remaining symbol of individual freedom — America.
Most of the upper level globalists are Luciferians. To them, hate and destruction come naturally. Only by destroying the American ideal of a constitutional republic (they’ve already destroyed it in practice) will they be in a position where the masses will beg for a new system that will claim to have all the solutions to the crises enveloping the earth (most but not all of these crises have been manufactured by the very elites who claim to have the fix).
Hamas Killed Iran’s Middle East Surprise Attack [56:17] Avi Abelow

To mostly my American contacts and some Canadian who I expect would be very interested in what ZOA has to say
ZOA Condemns Biden’s False Charge That Israel is “Indiscriminately” Bombing Gaza and Demands That Israel Remove Democratically Elected Members of Coalition
It has been increasingly apparent for the past month if not somewhat more that Pres. Biden and his administration (including many former Obama administration members) are moving ever closer to the point they will be demanding Israel stop their counter-offensive against Hamas.
Reports reveal that Pres. Biden and his administration are bowing ever more to pressure from their advisers/confidents, no doubt including still very influential Obama, the left wing anti-Israel-antisemitic Democrat “squad”, other left wing anti-Israel members of the Democrat party, their pro-Palestinian-anti-Israel left wing electorate as well as lobbying organizations that have a pro-Palestinian-anti-Israel bias and as well members of the administration who were former members of the Obama administration and who very much listen to what Obama has to say today.
Forwarded herewith is a communique from ZOA that is very troubling because it speaks to Pres. Biden and his administration not only approaching the point of demanding Israel cease its war against Hamas, but is now engaging in efforts to interfere in Israeli politics.
I urge you to read this ZOA communique. I also urge Americans to speak out publicly in support of Israel’s counter-offensive not stopping until Hamas is destroyed and to write to their Congressmen /Senators to that effect as well to hammer home the fact that in so doing Israel’s IDF is the most moral army in the world and that it never should be forgotten while non-combatant Gazan Palestinians have been maimed, killed or otherwise made to suffer, that is all on Hamas only for their using non-combatant Gazans as their human shields which is a war crime and crime against humanity.
President Biden and his administration spokespersons must state and re-state that fact instead of lecturing Israel that they must wage their war against Hamas only in accord with international law. Israel knows that and has acted accordingly from the start of her counter offensive against Hamas.
With that, please do read ZOA’s communique and take the kind of action I spoke of in support thereof.
ZOA PRESS RELEASE
Yet Biden Doesn’t Condemn PA Praising Oct. 7 or Their Pay-to-Slay, Doesn’t Demand Removal of PA Leaders Who Praise Hamas
December 14, 2023 – Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:
ZOA strongly condemns President Joe Biden’s dangerous, indiscriminate remarks on December 12th, falsely accusing Israel of “indiscriminate bombing” in Gaza; criticizing and calling for changing Israel’s democratically elected government; and calling for Israel to “strengthen” and reward the Palestinian Authority (PA) terror regime with a Palestinian Arab state carved out of Israel’s lawful land (a so-called “two-state solution”) — while the PA is celebrating the October 7th atrocities, continuing to pay terrorists huge lifetime pensions to murder Jews and insisting that Hamas must be part of a Palestinian state; and the PA’s ruling Fatah party is bragging about its brigades participating in the October 7th atrocities.
Falsely accusing Israel of “indiscriminate bombing” creates more fuel for attacking American Jews. Biden’s widely disseminated, reckless remarks will likely inspire more antisemitism, at a time when American Jews are being attacked on college campuses and American streets at record breaking levels. Even his spokesman John Kirby said no country, including America, does more to protect civilian lives.
Biden voiced his unjustified criticisms of Israel and his statements interfering with and attempting to undermine Israeli democracy at a closed-door campaign reception on December 12, 2023. Biden’s remarks were then published on the White House website and amplified in media around the world.
Biden should be well aware that a Palestinian state would be a Fatah-Hamas terror state. On December 10th (two days before Biden’s awful remarks), PA Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh told a Doha forum that “Hamas is an integral part of the Palestinian mosaic”; that eliminating Hamas is not acceptable to the PA; and proudly proclaimed that the Palestinian Authority defended Hamas from charges of terrorism in the UN and that Hamas must be part of the “day after” plan for Gaza, the West Bank, and east Jerusalem.
And just last week (Dec. 6, 2023), official PA television featured a Fatah representative calling for “all types of resistance” including “armed struggle” [terrorism].
It is also utterly sickening and beyond ridiculous and dangerous that Biden is calling for strengthening the PA and giving them a state when PA ruling party Fatah’s “Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades” participated in the October 7th atrocities against Jewish civilians. Fatah murdered Jewish civilians at Nahal Oz kibbutz with Kalashnikov rifles, stomped on Jews’ heads, and published video of themselves doing so and bragging about it. Another Fatah video shows a Fatah terrorist taking an Israeli captive, and a Fatah spokesman bragging that Fatah’s “Brigades, together with the rest of the Palestinian resistance factions [Hamas and PIJ], carried out several operations [terror attacks] behind enemy lines [meaning in Israel] as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle” [the October 7th atrocities]. The Fatah video also praised the October 7th massacre as a first step to “liberate” all of “Palestine” [to destroy Israel]. Palestinian Media Watch, which exposed the video, noted that the Fatah spokesman said four times that the PA’s Fatah is fighting “together with the rest of the resistance factions” [Hamas, PIJ, etc.]
Video: Frank Gaffney interviews Christine Douglass-Williams about what happened before and after Jews left Gaza [12:00] BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
DEC 13, 2023 7:00 AM – In this new video, Frank Gaffney and I discuss the stunning contrast of what Gaza looked like when Jews lived there to what happened to Gaza when Palestinians took over. More than 9000 Israeli citizens were evicted (many forcibly) in 2005 after Israel “disengaged” under Ariel Sharon from the Gaza Strip.
Also discussed: a warning about the UK’s appointment of former Prime Minister David Cameron as Foreign Secretary, given his alliance with China.
It has begun… TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
DEC 13, 2023 – They are blocking links to Sundance’s website from Twitter (X)…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/
…under the guise of ‘system problems.’ They are also suddenly demanding that he be verified in order to send direct messages.
SUNDANCE: “DHS-controlled Twitter pathways to certain on-line websites (like mine) are being blocked. Buckle up.”
What this means is that Twitter is STILL controlled by the intelligence agencies (CIA-DHS-FBI) and Elon Musk is doing what they tell him to do and blocking who they tell him to block – as I reported almost one year ago! Elon wants Tesla to be the KING of AI – Elon thinks he’s God!
We all know that Twitter & Facebook give the Feds our private information without warrants!
Facebook did the same thing to me in 2020 – they demanded I give them my drivers’ license or passport in order to use my account. I shut down my account instead – and came back two years later. That’s why I started this news site & news letter. To bypass the censorship on Facebook and Twitter!
This is how the CIA-FBI will use Elon’s social media platform (X) and his so-called AI program called Grok to control the internet. This is one way they will manipulate content we are allowed to see and make a list of conservative targets to go after. They will do the same thing with other social media platforms and Google.
Why do you think they are suddenly so anxious to have people like Trump, Tucker, Tate & Alex Jones stream on Twitter (X)? To draw MAGA to Twitter so they can be censored, shut down and tracked!
Explain to me what Rupert Murdoch and Elon were talking about right before Fox fired Tucker? They weren’t swapping recipes!
President Biden, don’t mess with the Jewish people! Avi Abelow
There is record support from Israeli society to do everything ecessanry in order to end all threats against Israel, on all borders. Op-ed.
Dec 13, 2023, 11:04 AM (GMT+2) – Just In –
President Biden is reported as saying that Netanyahu and his government ‘don’t want’ a two-state solution.
President Joe Biden said Tuesday that Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza.
Speaking to Democratic donors in Washington, Biden said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a “tough decision to make.”
“This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”
The remarks amounted to some of Biden’s most candid to date when it comes to his view of the ongoing conflict. He has mostly seemed as if he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Netanyahu – in public – despite mounting criticism of the Israeli campaign.
The pressure upon Israel to stop doing what is necessary to end the evil Arab Muslim threat at our doorstep is mounting.
Even more than that insanity, Biden wants to force upon Israel the failed ‘two-state solution’, which not only doesn’t solve anything, but makes our situation much, much worse!
He and his administration are totally ignoring the fact that Oct. 7th woke up most Israelis to understand that there is no difference between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, and the two-state solution is not a solution, but a recipe to destroy Israel.
Something very wrong from the top on down Sarah N. Stern
If the heads of universities cannot answer a simple, moral and ethical question about attempted genocide—of any population—then we have a great deal to worry about. Op-ed.
Dec 13, 2023, 1:07 PM (GMT+2) – (JNS) There is a deep, distressing and rapidly metastasizing rot within American society. And it was profoundly on display last week at the hearing on the House Committee on Education & the Workforce.
Harvard president Claudine Gay, Massachusetts Institute of Technology president Sally Kornbluth and University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill, who resigned this weekend, could not answer a basic question about whether calls for the genocide of Jews violate their university’s codes of conduct and are actionable offenses.
When university presidents cannot place a moral judgment—and enforce it—upon expressions of antisemitism and hide behind murky moral relativism and First Amendment rights, we know that we can well begin to mourn for the United States, as we once knew it.
Why is it that only when it comes to the protection of Jewish students are First Amendment rights invoked?
There is a distinction between speech that is offered up on the town’s square and speech on the university campus or quad. Schools are supposed to be safe places to learn. And although it is protected speech to be able to say the very most vile things about minorities in Central Park, we have protections for almost every other minority group in our educational settings in the United States. These include protections for blacks, gays, Hispanics, transgender individuals and the handicapped—and they ought to be there. These protections make our educational institutions places where all students are amenable to learning.
Yet somehow, there is an egregious double standard when it comes to the Jews—only the Jews. And a society’s treatment of Jews has always been an indicator of whether or not it is a place that is vibrant, healthy and flourishing.
The 400% increase in antisemitic attacks within the past year did not come out of the blue. For the last 30 years, I have been examining academia, and a great deal of the professoriate has long embraced deeply radical views, including looking at the State of Israel as “colonialist,” “militaristic,” “nationalistic,” etc. These views have metastasized and trickled down through kindergarten through 12th-grade instruction, textbooks and agendas.
Arab and Muslim foreigners and illegals stoke Campus Antisemitism Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer
Look at the 30 odd Harvard groups who backed Hamas and see the cause of the sewage permeating US universities. It can be stopped. Op-ed.
Dec 13, 2023, 1:40 PM (GMT+2) – When a bunch of animals at Massachusetts Institute of Technology barred entrance to Lobby 7, the main access to MIT, illegally trespassing, MIT’s gutless president initially announced she would suspend the criminal trespassers. Then, presumably after consulting with whatever DEI and Black Lives Matter consultants she needs to please, she melted faster than the Wicked Witch of the West during Hurricane Hillary. No suspensions.
Why the change? Her words: “visa concerns.”
I have been writing this for years because, as an Orthodox rabbi, I have a built-in anti-Semitism geiger counter. The outbreak of overt Jew hatred on American campuses directly results from the Democrats’ vast importing of Arab and other Muslim foreign and illegal students. Just look at Europe. Americans have known since 9/11 these students don’t belong in the United States, and their visas would be canceled if suspended from school.
America brings in Muslim Arab students from Saudi Arabia, they attend U.S. air pilot classes, and then Americans wonder why we lost 2,753 at the World Trade Center and 224 at the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa. In 2021-2022, America took in 18,206 from Saudi Arabia; 11,779 from Nepal; 10,597 from Bangladesh; 9,295 from Iran (!); 8,772 from Pakistan; and 5,923 from Kuwait. That’s over 60,000 just from those.
Foreign students are golden geese for universities because they pay full freight, no affirmative action or other scholarships.
We all have heard about the 30-plus Harvard student groups who signed their support for ISIS-Hamas. Not everyone at that campus supports Islamist terror. First, there are the Chinese kids who miraculously manage to get in despite the racist Harvard Chinese Exclusion Acts. Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 600 U.S. 181 (2023). They almost-all are serious-minded, nose-to-the-grindstone hard-working STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) students who will outshine their peers after grad school. Also the Koreans, the Japanese, and the Vietnamese students. Obviously, the Zionists (synonymous with all Jews, excepting the standard Trotsky wing who cling to us Jews like parasitic barnacles). Most Harvard students are focused on getting great grades and making a great life.
So who are the 30-plus hate groups? Think of the 60,000 who do not belong in America, denominated two paragraphs above, as you scan the list:
1. African American Resistance Organization
2. Bengali Association of Students at Harvard College
3. Harvard Act on a Dream

INSPIRING: Jonathan Pollard Recounts Powerful Hanukkah Stories in Prison [14:12]
Machon Shilo
Why the images of Hamas prisoners sparked outrage Jonathan S. Tobin
The murder and rape of Israelis on Oct. 7 led to a spike in antisemitism, not anger against Hamas. And yet, the world can’t tolerate photos of defeated Palestinian terrorists.
December 12, 2023 / JNS – I was poised to go on a live broadcast of WION, an English-language Indian television network, last week to discuss the war against Hamas. But before my turn to speak came, I was startled by the program host’s introduction to the segment. He spoke of images that were shocking the world and the world’s outrage about them, and gave what might be termed a trigger warning for those about to see them for the first time.
As I soon learned, he wasn’t referring to the evidence of the indescribable atrocities committed against Israeli civilians by the Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7. Nor was he even talking about the impact of the war that followed that attack on civilians in the Gaza Strip, who are being used as human shields by those very same terrorists.
[Ed.: Mike Adams, ‘The Health Ranger’, owner of Natural News, and Brighteon.com was totally outraged by ‘Israel’s genocide’ of millions of Palestinians. He still is, along with a cadre of others (I have a list). This is why you won’t see any of Mike’s shit here anymore, which is really too bad, because he has a lot of important information that I used to appreciate and share here.]
Secular Zionism, R.I.P.? by Sha’i Ben Tekoa
The Islamic resistance to free Jews has always been a holy war.
December 12, 2023 – The seeds of Israel’s twin crises of the last year – the refusal by the losers in the November 2022 elections to accept the results and the satanic rampage by functionally psychopathic Muslim sex fiends in the Muslim Brotherhood a.k.a. Hamas — are right there in one of the two founding documents of the Zionist movement, Altneuland, the second of Theodor Herzl’s two books.
The first, Der Judenstaat/ The State of Jews (not to be confused with a Judischer Staat, a Jewish state) reads like a stock offering or prospectus for his project; the politics, nuts, bolts, and mechanics of building state on land that was at the moment and had been for millennia barren wasteland.
By contrast, his Altneuland/Old-New Land was an imaginary, Jules Verne-esque time-travel fantasy to the Judenstaat twenty-years after its founding. This was Herzl’s “vision” of what life in the future state would be like. He is known in Israel as khozeh ha-medina, the “Visionary of the State” who prophesied in 1898 that it would take fifty years to come to life and in that he was jaw-droppingly correct. It was published in 1903, the year before he died at age forty-four.
But otherwise, there is zero correspondence between his vision and the actual history of the Zionist movement and modern state after him. There is no correspondence whatsoever, because Herzl seems to have been a perfect ignoramus about a) Islam b) the relationship between Jews and Muslims over fourteen centuries.
Why young Palestinian Arabs become terrorists Dr. Rafael Medoff
Young Gazans are not “driven into the arms of Hamas” by Israel; they have been indoctrinated by Hamas with their parent’s approval. Op-ed.
Dec 12, 2023, 5:12 AM (GMT+2) – U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, a retired general, says Israel is “driving” Gazans “into the arms of the enemy.” A few weeks ago, another general, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Charles Q. Brown, charged that Israel’s anti-terror actions in Gaza are turning the average person there into “someone who now wants to be the next member of Hamas.”
Generals deserve our deepest respect for their service and sacrifice. But that doesn’t mean they are always right. General George Patton used Nazi Party members in the postwar U.S. administration in Germany, resulting in his dismissal. General Douglas MacArthur was fired for defying President Harry Truman’s orders in the Korean War. General Curtis LeMay wanted to use nuclear weapons in Vietnam.
When it comes to understanding what causes young Palestinian Arabs to become Hamas terrorists, President Biden’s generals are getting it all wrong.
It is not Israel that drove Gazans into the arms of Hamas or turned young Gazans into terrorists. It is the Gazans themselves who long ago chose Hamas as their leaders. Democratic elections were held there in 2006, and Hamas was allowed to participate, at the insistence of Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. Hamas won 76 out of the 132 seats in parliament.
Afterwards, Secretary Rice acknowledged she was “caught off guard” by the outcome; the result “does say something about us not having a good enough pulse,” she conceded. At the same time, Rice defended the inclusion of Hamas, on the grounds that “You ask yourself, ‘Are you going to support a policy of denying the Palestinians elections that had been promised to them at a certain point in time because people were fearful of the outcome?’”

12/11/23 – As more and more evidence comes out about the inhumane and sadistic actions of Hamas on Oct. 7, the main question is what drives Hamas? What stands behind its cruelty? Is this mindless bloodshed, or are rape and pillage part of a systematic war strategy?
In short, the answer is jihad. Caroline’s guest, Arabic scholar Professor Mordechai Keidar explains the details.

CIA, Gun Control & MKUltra: Part Three TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
DEC 11, 2023 – Back in the 1950’s, as the Cold War with the Soviet Union was heating up, the CIA became convinced that the country that could control the mind would CONTROL the world. They believed that the Communists had already discovered such a drug or technique. They weren’t wrong. They had. It began a Global race to control the mind.
In 1948, the year after its founding, the CIA created a top-secret program — Operation Mockingbird — to control the American media. That’s why President Trump calls it the fake news. Because it is literally CIA-controlled propaganda. From its inception, Mockingbird was yet another of the CIA’s illegal schemes.
The 1948 Smith-Mundt Act had illegalized the use of CIA funding to broadcast propaganda to Americans. Key collaborators that the CIA used to get around that law included Washington Post owner Philip Graham; CBS owner William Paley; Time-Life publisher Henry Luce; top editors at the New York Times, and Joseph Alsop, whose influential column appeared in more than 300 newspapers.
CIA Director Allen Dulles oversaw Mockingbird’s illegal media network until President John F. Kennedy fired him at the end of 1961 – shortly before the CIA assassinated JFK for doing just that. By then, Mockingbird was employing “some 3,000 salaried and contract CIA employees… engaged in propaganda efforts.”
In competition with the Soviets, the CIA began a top secret program in 1953 that came to be known as MKUltra. They hired a chemist named Sidney Gottlieb who was given free rein to experiment on unwitting subjects such as prisoners, patients, addicts, even johns.
Its aim was to develop mind-controlling drugs for use against the Soviet bloc in response to alleged Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean use of mind control techniques on U.S. prisoners of war during the Korean War. The CIA wanted to use similar methods on their own captives, and was interested in manipulating foreign leaders with such techniques, devising several schemes to drug Fidel Castro.
MKUltra began in 1953 and was publicly halted in 1973 by Richard Nixon. That’s why the CIA needed to get rid of Nixon – he wanted to stop the CIA. Just like JFK.
CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb headed up the CIA’s secret MKUltra, which was charged with developing a mind control drug that could be weaponized against enemies. The project was headed by Sidney Gottlieb but began on the order of CIA director Allen Dulles on April 13, 1953.
Left-Wing Jewish Magazine Rewrites History By Moshe Phillips
December 11, 2023 – An extremist historian claimed in a recent webinar that Israel practices mass rape of Palestinian Arabs. But when the radical leftwing magazine that sponsored the event later issued a transcript of his remarks, it swept that embarrassment under the rug by quietly omitting his insane allegation.
In other words, Jewish Currents magazine literally rewrote history.
This disturbing episode began when Raz Segal, a professor at Stockton University in New Jersey, appeared on a webinar sponsored by Jewish Currents last month.
In the course of the discussion, Segal made this outrageous claim:
“I do think absolutely that this Israeli government has a plan, and in a way it’s a plan that all Israeli governments have always had, of creating a larger Jewish state, a ‘Greater Israel’ with as few Palestinians as possible, right? In any kind of possible way, there is, you know, short-term intense violence, like the 1948 Nakba, right?–the expulsions of 750,000 Palestinians and the destruction of hundreds of villages in the 1948 war; and longer-term processes of violence, various, you know—mass incarceration, humiliation, sexual assault, all kinds of, you know, very well documented, Israeli mass violence; and what we’re seeing now is part and parcel of this, it is—I don’t think it has anything to do with revenge, it has something to do with a structural plan of how Israel should be as a Jewish State, right?”
(You can hear it for yourself at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ3-k2l6JIA starting at the 44 minute mark.)
Immediately after the webinar, I wrote an op-ed criticizing Segal’s disgusting accusation. The op-ed appeared in numerous newspapers.I imagine the team at Jewish Currents were embarrassed to be called out over Segal’s vile slur. Because on November 29, when Jewish Currents circulated a transcript of Segal’s remarks, its staff carefully sanitized what he had said. Here’s the cleaned-up version:
Daily Briefing Dec. 11: Day 66 – Has Hamas head Yahya Sinwar lost Gazans’ support?
Arab affairs reporter Gianluca Pacchiani describes the mood inside the Gaza Strip; environment reporter Sue Surkes on the war’s impact and a harrowing tale of heroism on Oct. 7
December 11, 2023 – Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.
Today is day 66 of the war with Hamas. Arab affairs reporter Gianluca Pacchiani and environment reporter Sue Surkes join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today’s episode.
In the Gaza Strip, as casualties mount, we are hearing reports that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has lost Gazans’ support. According to testimony from former Hamas communications minister Yousef al-Mansi, “people in the Gaza Strip say that Sinwar and his group destroyed us. We must get rid of them.” Pacchiani begins by telling us who Sinwar is and how he came to power and goes on to discuss whether Gazans support him today.
Syrian-born journalist Manar al-Sharif is one of a handful of people persecuted by Hamas who managed to leave Gaza. She spoke with Pacchiani, and her experiences help explain why there haven’t been any large-scale uprising against the terrorist organization.
The small Jewish community in Cairo has decided not to hold celebrations of the Hanukkah festival in a city synagogue amid the ongoing war in Gaza. Pacchiani explains why.
Last week, environmental experts called on the defense establishment to carefully weigh the long-term environmental implications of reported plans to flood the immense network of tunnels in the Gaza Strip with seawater to flush the terrorists out. We also hear about other impacts on the environment, as well as hopes that the rebuilding of the Gaza envelope settlements will include green thinking.
We end with an extraordinary tale of bravery: Oz Davidian rescued some 120 young people trying to escape the Supernova rave on October 7, as Hamas terrorists sprayed them with bullets, making 20 trips throughout the day.
When is criticism of Israel legitimate? Dr. Alex Grobman
No democratic states should consider themselves immune to rebuke but no one should be discussing their right to exist either. Op-ed.
Feb 20, 2023, 4:14 PM (GMT+2) – Clearly, not all criticism of Israel is antisemitic. As the late American sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset explained, no democratic states should consider themselves immune to rebuke. “Israel is a liberal democratic state,” he said, recalling that, “in ancient Israel, the Biblical prophets devised the art of self-criticism.”
A useful key in determining whether the criticism in question is legitimate or just antisemitism disguised as such was offered by journalist Edward Rothstein, who suggested examining the “standards of justice.” When they are “applied in profoundly distorted fashion, when those distortions put the literal survival of a society at stake, and when murders are taking place and explicitly encouraged declarations are being made that may even fit university standards for ‘hate speech,’ it is safe to say the rhetoric is no longer honest criticism, but, rather, antisemitism,” he said.
Recognizing What It Is
Like pornography, antisemitism is recognized as such by those who know what it looks like.
The late-Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. did not hesitate to label anti-Zionist remarks as antisemitic. On one occasion when speaking to African-American students at Harvard, he heard an anti-Zionist remark from one of them. According to reports of the incident, Dr. King “snapped at him” and said, “Don’t talk like that! When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking about antisemitism.”
The late leftist literary scholar Hans Meyer understood this as well, writing that “whoever attacks Zionism, but by no means wishes to say anything against the Jews, is fooling himself and others.” “The State of Israel is a Jewish state. Whoever wants to destroy it, openly or through politics that can affect nothing else but such destruction, is practicing the Jew-hatred of yesterday and time immemorial,” he said.

Dec 11, 2023, 1:40 PM (GMT+2) – “I think the West is on the verge of collapsing in on itself. I am deeply disgusted by the situation and the behavior of the majority of politicians.”
Thus the famous French cartoonist Enki Bilal, a legend of drawing.
“We let the Trojan horse in. I’ve been telling my friends for thirty years that we’re screwed with Islamism. When the Muslim Brotherhood appeared in Afghanistan, I wrote ‘The Sleep of the Monster’, a very harsh book published in 1998 and which sold 300,000 copies; my remarks were 100 percent inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood but, at that moment, I did not want to name, and therefore target, just one religion. So I chose to talk about the three monotheisms. In twenty years, and probably less, perhaps only ten, we will no longer recognize Europe. We are witnessing the end of a world, of a great world, our West. And the end of the West hides this kind of reverse McCarthyism called Wokism and which produces hatred towards Israel, towards capitalism, towards the white man. It takes incredible blindness, even a form of intellectual hemiplegia, not to see what Islamization is. How could this have escaped the attention of young people and wokists? How can one be Wokist, that is, integrate neofeminism and Islamogoschism? I do not understand ! Have we heard from the neo-feminists about Iranian women? Do the LGBT associations demonstrating for the Palestinians know how homosexuals are treated in Gaza? Lack of culture is winning.”
Meanwhile, Palestinian flags flutter from the cities of Eurabia.
Jewish blindness to the Arab mindset Dr. Alex Grobman

Dec 10, 2023, 3:29 PM (GMT+2) – “Jewish Blindness of to the Arab Problem”- Richard Crossman
“In Palestine I had been met every day by evidence of the Jewish blindness to the Arab problem,” asserted Richard Crossman, British Labor M.P., who served as a member of the 1946 Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry. “I was constantly reminded of the gallant politics of Vienna Socialists in 1934. There was the same misguided reliance of foreign aid, the same underestimation of the enemy, the same blind assurance a cause which is right is also strong.”
In the aftermath of the October 7 massacre, the media and pundits have been quick to note that Israel had been warned about an attack by Hamas–years, months, days and even hours before this catastrophe occurred, shocking the nation and world Jewry to its very core. An Israeli state commission will eventually investigate how this colossal failure in intelligence occurred. Hubris, the lack of humility, negligence, arrogantly dismissing intelligence assessments of a potential Hamas military confrontation, complacency, and refusal to share intelligence with other members of the government are clear contributing factors leading to this debacle.
Citing senior IDF intelligence officer Miri Eisin, The Washington Post reported that Hamas attempted to “lull Israel into complacency” by organizing large demonstrations at the Gaza border months prior to the attack, “to get the IDF used to the sight of crowds at the border.” Hamas even shared information about Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), demonstrating its eagerness not to engage in serious confrontation.Yet it was a “blindness to the Arab problem,” and lack of historical perspective that led Major-General Aharon Haliva, IDF’s Military Intelligence Directorate, and others to believe that in Gaza, “our military force and deterrence,” and efforts “to stabilize the economy, allow in workers, and improve the quality of life all have the potential to create years of quiet.” He made this prediction in June 2021, and again in September 2022, writes Yaakov Katz, former editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post.
What is the Jewish blindness? Understanding that the Arabs in Judea and Samaria and Gaza Strip do not want peace as Arabic scholar Mordecai Kedar explained. Judaism is considered a “false religion” (Din Al-Batel), while the “religion of truth is Islam “(Din Al-Haq). From this the Islamic position, it is impossible to have a Jewish state.
Destroying the Jewish state is a religious imperative. Article 15 of the Hamas Charter states: “The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national (qawmi) duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine.”

Everybody is Upset About Civilian Casualties in Gaza by Robert Spencer
But where do the numbers come from?
December 7, 2023 – The Israeli defensive action in Gaza has become, we are told, a massive humanitarian crisis, and it must stop. All the most trustworthy people in the world tell us so.
“The United States is unequivocal; international humanitarian law must be respected. Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed,” declared putative Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday. “Frankly, the scale of civilian suffering and the images and videos coming from Gaza are devastating.”
Then on Monday, the Associated Press, with a fine regard for journalistic objectivity, reported that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Soviet Union) and what it called “a robust group of Democratic senators” were “done ‘asking nicely’ for Israel to do more to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza.” These fearless solons “warned President Joe Biden’s national security team that planned U.S. aid to Israel must be met with assurances of concrete steps from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hard-right government.” Sanders thundered, “The truth is that if asking nicely worked, we wouldn’t be in the position we are today.” AP added, “It was time for the United States to use its ‘substantial leverage’ with its ally, the Vermont senator said.”
To buttress their indignation and increasingly shrill demands, Harris and Sanders and the rest can look to no less an authority than the United Nations. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on Sunday published a chart of “Reported Casualties” in Gaza, and the numbers look grim indeed: over 15,523 deaths, with 4,257 women and 6,387 children making up fully 70% of that figure. The far-left establishment media is putting out substantially the same figures; the UK’s Guardian wrote Tuesday that “in the last three days, bombing has been heavy, and the total death toll since 7 October has risen to 15,899.”
These figures not only aroused the righteous indignation of our nation’s leftist self-appointed voices of conscience, but they moved the antisemitic Unz Review to the heights of hysteria: “We are certainly witnessing the greatest televised slaughter of helpless civilians in the history of the world, with nothing even remotely comparable coming to mind.”
Oh my, that sounds terrible indeed. But let’s step back for a moment. If you follow an asterisk down to the small print, you’ll see that the UN attributes its figures for Palestinian casualties in Gaza to the “Ministry of Health” and the “Government Media Office.” Which Ministry of Health? Which government? The UN doesn’t say, and its reticence on this point is likely due to the fact that the government and Health Ministry in question are those of Hamas in Gaza. The Guardian likewise attributes its figures to “the Gaza health ministry.” Yes, that’s right: the one that Hamas runs.
This would be like the New York Times during World War II reporting massive German civilian deaths in an Allied offensive and attributing its data to Josef Goebbels’ Propaganda Ministry. Hamas obviously has very good reasons to inflate the number of Palestinian civilian casualties: the higher the numbers, the angrier Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Antony Blinken get, and the closer the Biden regime moves to cutting ties with Israel and isolating the Jewish state completely.
This will come to no one’s surprise, at least not to anyone who isn’t a woke millennial TikToker, but Hamas is obviously lying. A board member of the media watchdog Honest Reporting who goes by the single name Aizenberg took a close look at the day-to-day casualty figures that the UN publishes from Hamas and found a large number of significant anomalies. “It is immediately obvious,” notes Aizenberg, “that Hamas does not report ANY combatant deaths & the numbers amazingly seem to indicate that IDF bombs & bullets disproportionately hit women, children & elderly. The IDF CANNOT seem to hit too many fighting age men.” But also, “the numbers are faked.”
Hamas’ October 7 Attack on Israel: a Primer For the shocked and confused. by Danusha Goska
December 10, 2023 – Some friends on social media remain unclear about the following. What did Hamas do in Israel on October 7? Why have so many around the world responded with anti-Semitism? Let’s take these questions one at a time.
What did Hamas do in Israel on October 7?
Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and murdered, tortured, and kidnapped defenseless Israeli men, women, and children, ordinary civilians doing ordinary things like eating breakfast.
The extensive evidence of Hamas’ atrocities includes the corpses of a father and child tied together with wire and then burned alive, and twenty children tied together and burned; bodies with hacked off limbs and gauged out eyes; and bodies bespeaking gang rape so severe that victims’ leg and pelvic bones were broken. First responder Asher Moskowitz found a baby that Hamas had cooked to death in an oven. The oven’s heating element was still attached to the corpse.
Captured terrorists offered full confessions. One said, “We became animals. We did things that humans do not do.” One confessed that the corpses of young women were raped. Stephen D. Smith reports that there was “an instruction to bring back the dead body of an IDF soldier and posthumously crucify him.”
Hamas made and shared, via social media, videos. They videorecorded the murder of a helpless grandmother, and posted the video on her Facebook page, so that her loved ones would watch. A child hostage was forced to watch Hamas videos. If the child cried, Hamas members pressed a gun to the child. In videos, terrorists shoot household pets dead.
Ben Shapiro posted a compilation. A YouTube poster responded. “As a US Iraq war Vet I started to watch this episode and stopped … I’ve seen a lot, done a lot but I caved … Tears streamed down my face as I watched without stopping, without looking away, gritting my teeth … If I could return to the battlefield and join your brothers and sisters and do what I could to avenge/protect/free those that are captured I would in a heartbeat … I salute Israel … I bow my head in prayer multiple times throughout the day that this evil will end.”
“I’ve seen quite a lot in war zones I’ve covered,” British journalist Douglas Murray said. “I’ve been in Nigerian Villages when a suicide bomber goes into the church on a Sunday … I’ve seen exit wounds from children’s bodies. “But,” Murray said, the Hamas video “is by some margin worse than anything … The footage is a level of depravity that yes not even the Nazis did … Throughout the whole thing the Hamas fighters are in a state of utter elation.” They are “delighted by what they’re doing. I really don’t want to hear ‘Allahu akbar’ shouted again on my streets.” Hamas terrorists are “shouting ‘Allahu akbar’ all the way through … when they rape and murder all these young women in a room they shout ‘Allahu akbar’ the whole time. When they find a young woman hiding under a table pretending to be dead and they realize she’s alive … they’re shouting ‘Allah akbar,’ they’re so elated … One disgusting young Hamas guy shouts from the phone of one of his victims … ‘With my own hands your son has killed ten Jews,’ and the mother [and father are] all shouting ‘Allahu akbar’ and they’re so proud of” their murderous son.
Mosab Hassan Yousef is the grandson of a popular imam and the son of a founder of Hamas. In a November 20, 2023 UN speech, Yousef said, “Imagine a ten-year-old child. I disobeyed Hamas. I was tied to a post. I was whipped by a top leader of Hamas with an electric cable. With every lash I lost my breath until I lost my consciousness. This is how they wanted me to become a violent savage like them.” Years later, in prison, Yousef worked as the scribe for Hamas torturers. He recorded men shoving needles under their fellow Arabs’ fingernails and burning their bodies with cigarettes and melting plastic. “I had to die many times in order to transcend this mentality.”
Yousef described viewing Hamas’ October 7 video. “Something fundamental in me changed. I think my life changed forever. I thought that I had seen the worst of Hamas, but nothing like this. What I saw was very clearly a genocide … what I saw, I could not sleep last night. I was filled with rage. I don’t know if my physical body can carry such trauma.”
“Some of the audience whispered, ‘Make it stop,’” The Daily Mail reported after international journalists watched Hamas video. “I leaned against a wall and cried,” one said. Some vomited. “I certainly hope I never see any of the extra footage again,” one wrote.” In photos of the audience, journalists are seen with their hands over their mouths or their arms wrapped across their stomachs.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand spoke to a special session of the United Nations. “The horrific acts committed on October 7th by Hamas are truly indescribable … the footage … takes your breath away at the sheer level of evil … You can’t unsee when you see it, and it haunts you, like no other image you could ever see … The barbaric acts are acts beyond what we have seen from ISIS, Al Qaeda … what has happened to women, the types of dismemberment, the types of sexual violence to degrade them, to bring fear in their final moments, to bring fear in the eyes of those who had to witness the atrocities, is unspeakable … the international community’s reluctance – even refusal – to condemn, or even acknowledge [Hamas atrocities] doesn’t just strike fear in the hearts of Israeli women, it strikes fear in the hearts of every woman and girl around the globe.”
It’s Obama’s Middle East Mess Forwarded with introduction by Bill Narvey
Those of us who follow American politics, especially as it concerns Israel, if we didn’t realize it before Obama’s election to be President of the U.S., we certainly began to understand it soon after he came into the WH that he was not quite the pro-American president most Americans thought he was.
In June 2009, Obama traveled to Cairo, Europe, and the United Nations to “apologize” for past American actions and attitudes, which he claimed helped create divisions between countries. Critics quickly dubbed it his “apology tour.” It was during his infamous apology tour that he revealed albeit unwittingly I suppose that he was not completely in touch with American values, pride and patriotism. Obama made a number of “apology” tours thereafter as well as just statements to that effect.
American Jews certainly soon thereafter learned Obama was not and would not be the kind of solid pro-Israel president they thought he would be.
In July 2009, at a closed meeting between Obama and select Jewish leaders (excluding ZOA and other conservative Jewish leaders) Obama advised them that he wanted to put daylight between America and Israel. Indeed, that is what he began to do including often showing contempt for then PM Netanyahu and at times with his words and deeds stabbing Israel in the back.
Obama’s left wing ideological personal and world view, some would say close to radical left wing view, also became increasingly apparent.
Below is the full text of Sean Durn’s article in the Washington Examiner that makes a solid case that the great problems in the Middle East that the West now has to deal with are of Obama’s making and it is getting worse under Biden who is doubling down on Obama’s efforts to appease Iran which only weakens America in the eyes of America’s enemies and America’s enemies are emboldened accordingly to attack America and harm her best interests.
That case includes that Obama set the stage for empowering Iran and better financing its terrorist proxy business to the prejudice of not only Israel, but Arab States as well and Biden’s policies to emulate Obama’s have made things much worse.
That “worse” includes Iran’s direct role in financing, planning and training Hamas to launch its evil terrorist attack on innocent Israelis on October 7th, a day that will live in infamy and the counter offensive response of Israel to destroy Hamas entirely.
All so called innocent Gazan Palestinians maimed or killed by the IDF are ALL ON HAMAS’ HEAD for they have against all international law have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity by using non-combatant Palestinians as their human shields.

The war against Hamas should bring with it a paradigm shift Howard Rotberg
For far too long, Zionism has been stuck in a defensive mode. Op-ed.
Dec 9, 2023, 11:09 PM (GMT+2) – Watching the protests in American and Canadian and European cities where predominantly young people call for a genocide of the Jews in Israel – “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free” – one is struck by some important facts.
First, a lot of the protests are in universities and while Antifa and other anti-liberal groups participate, one can assume that the protesters have a high representation among Muslims and/or university students. Looking at the female protestors, anywhere from 50% to 75% are wearing hijabs.
Second, university professors, mainly in Middle Eastern studies and gender and diversity studies, are indoctrinating their students to hate Israel and Jews everywhere.
Third, while many may be in a country on student or other temporary visas, looking at the population figures for Muslims in the West, they are a growing presence and a growing influence. Surely if we allow people with vile opinions into the country, we must be prepared to live with the consequences once they assume elected office.
Third, this growing influence can be seen in American Muslim areas like Dearborn, Michigan and Minneapolis, Minnesota..

Leo Hohmann: Enjoy this Christmas Season — It May Be the Last One We Have to Celebrate in ‘Normal’ Times — WEF Warns 2024 Likely to Bring ‘Cataclysmic’ Changes By Leo Hohmann
Dec. 9, 2023 4:00 pm – World War III, cyber-attacks, and economic meltdowns could change life forever; all three scenarios are simmering and ready to explode.
Chanukah is underway and Christmas is just a couple of weeks off. Another year will go by the wayside.
As we approach December 31, you will hear people chirping on social media that they are glad such a bad year is fading into the rearview mirror and how much they are looking forward to brighter times in 2024.
These people are not awake. Don’t get lulled into their fantasyland.
It’s more likely that we will look back on 2024 as perhaps the last year in which we enjoyed a somewhat normal life here in America, still perched atop the global order and enjoying all the benefits of that status. Our dollars still buy food for our Christmas table and energy to heat our homes, even if it’s more expensive than in previous years.
With the world’s superpowers remaining at loggerheads as to how we move forward into a new era marked by artificial intelligence and digital currencies, we can count on being moved closer to World War III next year, if not fully embroiled in it. And living through war and economic upheaval is never easy.
The Luciferian globalist elites have done their best to lay hints of what they plan to hit us with next in their list of conjured-up crises. They talk a lot about cyber attacks.
