Israeli officials told the New York Times on Monday that in the north of the Gaza Strip, where the IDF has waged intense and difficult fighting, there are still 4,000-5,000 armed Hamas terrorists left.
US officials have said that it is likely that Hamas will not be completely destroyed by military activity. Still, the pace of rebuilding its strength depends on the next steps that Israel will take after the fighting.
At the last possible moment, after months of prevarication and with Russian troops on the brink of a major breakthrough in Ukraine, the US Congress voted to approve more than $61 billion worth of military assistance for Kyiv on Saturday afternoon. In a vote that a vocal minority of Republicans had desperately attempted to stop through procedural objections and threats to remove Speaker Mike Johnson, 210 Democrats and 101 Republicans finally joined to support Ukraine. A majority of Republicans — 112 Congress members — voted against.
The NYPD arrested dozens of NYU students and faculty members who have been protesting demanding the university divests from any Israel-related holdings at a ‘Gaza Solidarity; encampment.
Officers clad in riot gear used zip ties to detain protesters, marching them onto police buses after warnings to leave the area were ignored.
The protest, involving hundreds, began at 6am with a group setting up tents at NYU’s Gould Plaza.

For many years, American conservatives used to point out examples of liberal hypocrisy by drawing attention to some offensive or outrageous thing that the Left had done, but that had gone unreported or otherwise tolerated by the media, then saying, “If conservatives had done that, you would have raised hell.” The idea was to shame liberals into reforming themselves to become fair and balanced.
It rarely worked, but it’s not hard to see why it might have done, back when the Left at least paid lip service to liberal principles. That’s ancient history. The reason to do it today—the only reason—is to reveal to the Right how decadent the systems that govern our societies have become, and to make clear the grave challenges before us.
Billionaire Robert Kraft has pulled his financial support from Columbia University, saying he’s lost confidence in the Ivy League school’s ability to protect its students amid anti-Israel protests.
‘The school I love so much – the one that welcomed me and provided me with so much opportunity – is no longer an institution I recognize,’ The New England Patriots’ owner and Columbia graduate said on Monday.
‘I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country.’
While antisemitic slogans shouted during a weekend anti-Israel protest triggered a rare, online-only rebuke from the prime minister, Canadian Jewish groups blame the deafening silence from Canada’s political leaders for emboldening protesters, resulting in a conspicuous increase in hateful rhetoric.
I was stabbed in the eye last night on Yale University’s campus because I am a Jew.
I wish I could say I was surprised, but since October 7, Yale has refused to take action against students glorifying violence, chanting “resistance is justified,” “celebrat[ing] the resistance’s success,” and fundraising for “Palestinian anarchist fighters” on the frontlines of the “resistance.” In more recent days, the school has allowed students to run roughshod over their most basic policiesagainst postering, time and place restrictions, disorderly conduct, respect for university property, and the rights of others, not to mention stalking and harassment.
The recent anti-Israel and pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia University have seen calls for a double Holocaust – not a second Holocaust, but a double one.
In footage that emerged from the Columbia hate orgy over the weekend, one of the protestors yelled at Jewish students and counter-protestors, “Remember the 7th of October! That will happen not one more time, not five more times, not 10 more times, not 100 more times, not 1,000 more times, but 10,000 times!”
This is what I referred to in 2010 as Malmö Syndrome, the antisemitic violence resulting from the shared anti-Israeli agenda of Islamists and leftists:
Malmö is the third largest Swedish city, and now the poster child for what I call Malmö Syndrome, the anti-Semitic violence which results from the shared anti-Israeli agenda of Islamists and leftists.
The result is that Malmö is being depopulated of Jews as a result of street violence by Mulsims and disinterest by left-wing politicians….
Female Jewish student surrounded by mob of pro-Palestine activists forming a human chain, to block her from entering Yale University because she is Jewish.
Later in the evening she was also stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag whilst on campus.
“October 7 is proof that we are almost free,” the speaker yelled as “protesters” marched past Parliament Hill. “Long live October 7th, long live the resistance,” the speaker called out to cheers from the crowd of thousands.
“October 7th Proves We’re Almost Free!”. The crowd goes wild.
“Long live October 7th!”
Today, downtown Ottawa. No more euphemisms, they are openly promoting terrorism and violence towards Jews. This is intolerable and it is time for Canadians to speak up. pic.twitter.com/RVfnHEKReS
All of our PM’s pictured screwed Canada over by importing Islam.
In a just world they would be tried as terrorists.
Ordinary Canadians will suffer while they live out their lives in privileged isolation from the damage they have done.
The media and Pols add insult to injury by feigning shock that virulent antisemitism from the Islamo-left could be so widespread. It dashes their narrative that such hate could only originate from Right Wing islamophobic antisemitic White people.
To criminalize dissent the elites corrupted our intelligence services to lie that “white supremacism” was a threat equal to or greater than Islam.
No doubt copious tears are flowing around the Kumbaya Kool-Aid cooler.
I love to say it. TOLD YOU SO!
Gee all those cops for 1 guy?
Protesters outside Union Station chant support for Gaza and condemnation for Israel.
Maj.-Gen. Aharon Haliva, the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate head, has retired from the IDF after leaving a letter of resignation on the desk of IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Israeli media reported on Monday.
Shortly after, the IDF released a statement saying, “In a decision with the Chief of Staff and with the approval of the Minister of Defense, Major General Aharon Haliva will conclude his role and retire from the IDF after appointing a successor through an orderly and professional process.
The privileged daughter of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar amazingly claims she’s homeless and can’t get food after being kicked out of her prestigious $90,000-per-year Barnard College dorm following her arrest at last week’s anti-Israel protests on Columbia University’s campus.
Isra Hirsi, 21, and a handful of other Barnard students were slapped with suspensions after they were among the more than 100 protestors cuffed and hauled away for refusing to clear out from a tent encampment on the Ivy League school’s campus last Thursday.
