But they still won’t touch their own armies of terrorists. Or even call them out by name.
The gameplan for the Netanyahu speech was simple. Most Democrats would attend and sit through it. A whole bunch, including Pelosi and Kamala, would officially or unofficially boycott it, and then issue press releases blasting Netanyahu. And then move the party on with the Obama-era business of getting closer to Islamic terrorists, saving Hamas, and turning on Israel.
Earlier this year, the Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group Hamas published a document titled “Our Narrative – Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” purporting to explain why it carried out the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel during which thousands of Israelis were murdered, raped, tortured, burned alive, and kidnapped to the Gaza Strip.
The document, full of false claims and fabrications, seeks to justify the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas terrorists and thousands of “ordinary” Palestinians who invaded Israeli communities near the border of the Gaza Strip that day.
The Hamas document lists a number of reasons, all of which can be easily refuted, as to why the terrorist group launched its attack on Israel.
The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced early Thursday morning that troops had recovered from the Gaza Strip and returned to Israel on Wednesday five bodies of hostages.
The hostages are Maya Goren, Sgt. Kiril Brodski, Staff-Sergeant Tomer Achimas, Oren Goldin, and Warrant Officer (res.) Ravid Aryeh Katz.

Canada’s acceptance of Palestinian refugees from Gaza is setting off alarm bells south of the border.
In a letter Wednesday to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, United States Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) expressed concern over the program, which he warned could lead to an increased risk of allowing individuals with ties to terror groups easy access to the United States.

Employment lawyer to probe appointment of human rights chief accused of anti-Israel record
The federal government has hired outside legal counsel to lead an independent review into the appointment of Canada’s new human rights chief, who Jewish advocacy groups say is unfit for the role.
We can all take comfort in the knowledge that the Liberal government will exonerate itself of any wrong doing.
Montreal is not what it used to be. During a visit to Canada’s second most-populous city earlier this year, one thing stood out to me – the huge volume of pro-Palestinian posters, on walls and shop windows, denouncing Israel’s war against Hamas. One read: ‘Manif de solidarité envers le peuple Palestinien (demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian people).’ Another declared ‘Free Gaza Now’, alongside a cartoon protester wearing a red and white keffiyeh.
Nothing better illustrates the perversity of the Biden administration’s attitude to the Gaza conflict that, at the same time that Washington is limiting arms exports to Israel, the US is increasing its aid to the Palestinian Authority.
One of the key lessons that the US should have learned from Hamas’s deadly terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, in which 1,200 Israelis were murdered and more than 250 taken captive and held as hostages in Gaza, is that aid donations made by foreign donors invariably end up being used to fund Palestinian terrorists.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mocked campus protesters opposed to his nation’s war effort as “Iran’s useful idiots” during a joint address to Congress on Wednesday — as he urged the US to remain steadfast in its support to eliminate Hamas terrorists .
“Many anti-Israel protesters, many choose to stand with evil, they stand with Hamas, they stand with rapists and murderers,” Netanyahu declared during his almost hour-long speech to Senate and House lawmakers.
Hmmm

You’d have to hate Israel very bitterly indeed to wish to deprive it of Iron Dome, its missile defence system that has saved countless lives both before and after October 7. The system consists of ten batteries, with plans for a further five, positioned around the country and at sea at a cost of $50m each.
Yet Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the representative for New York’s 14th district and the figurehead of the progressive wing of the Democrats, openly burst into tears in 2021 when a bill providing $1 billion in new funding to Iron Dome was passed by the House of Representatives.
Anti-Israel radicals who resigned their government posts over President Joe Biden’s support for Israel are betting on Vice President Kamala Harris to adopt more hardline policies toward the Jewish state. It’s a good bet: Harris throughout her vice presidency touted her public opposition to Israel’s war on Hamas and praised campus protesters who have violently harassed Jews.
Most Canadians support police taking down illegal, disruptive anti-Israel encampments, according to a new national poll.
Conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies, the poll found some 70 per cent of Canadians surveyed agreed officials were right to have police and private security dismantle two encampments in Montreal, one at McGill University, the other in downtown Victoria Square.
“…Their genocidal aim, clear to the Hamas terrorists, was to murder Jews; others, such as Asians and Muslims, were also murdered. What is illuminating is how easily the civilized world, in this instance, accepted that as well as the abduction of 250 hostages. Those who slaughter and take hostages should be the subject of disgrace and condemnation. Instead, frequently, they were celebrated.”
JERUSALEM, July 22 (Reuters) – The Israeli parliament gave preliminary approval on Monday to a bill that declares the main United Nations relief organization for Palestinians a terrorist organisation and proposes to sever relations with the body.
The vote against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) is the latest step in a Israeli push against the agency, which Israeli leaders have accused of collaborating with the Islamist movement Hamas in Gaza.
Israel’s rapid progress in dismantling Hamas’s last remaining stronghold in Gaza exposes the counterproductive role played by Justin Trudeau and do-gooders of his ilk, who needlessly stonewalled the Rafah operation earlier this year.
