“Oct 7 2023”

I arrived in Israel early in the morning, and, shortly after dropping my things off at my cousin’s house, we headed for a gathering in front of the Knesset of families who had members either murdered or kidnapped on 10/7. The protest was as personal as it ever gets. There was a small platform and some sound equipment, but, when I arrived, they were not being used. There were a couple of tables where they were selling “bring them home” T-shirts, of which I bought two, one for my cousin and one for myself. There was also a table with simple refreshments. But mainly there were people sitting on plastic chairs in small circles of six or eight, silently sharing their ineffable grief.

President Biden warned Israel’s leaders on Tuesday that they were losing international support for their war in Gaza, exposing a widening rift with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who rejected out of hand the American vision for a postwar resolution to the conflict.

Mr. Biden delivered the blunt assessment of America’s closest ally in the Middle East during a fund-raiser in Washington, where he described Mr. Netanyahu as the leader of “the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” which “doesn’t want a two-state solution” to the country’s long-running dispute with Palestinians.

Half of young Americans are either unsure of the Nazi Holocaust’s authenticity or outright believe it to be a “myth,” according to a recent survey that reveals a worrying trend in the U.S. across the younger generation.

Somewhere beneath the rambling town of Khan Yunis, Yahya Sinwar, the murderous leader of Hamas in Gaza, is awaiting his fate. The terrorist leader, who orchestrated the October 7 atrocity and the deaths of 1,200 innocent Israelis, knows that his days are numbered.

Either the sixty-one-year-old Palestinian will die from the impact of a 500-pound satellite-guided Joint Direct Attack Munition bomb exploding above the fetid hole in which he is hiding or his life will end in a hail of bullets fired by Israeli commandos, with orders to kill and not capture the Hamas leader.

It is an underpublicized fact that the Israeli-Hamas war is unfolding as an overwhelming Israeli success. The Israel Defence Forces are now operating over practically the entire territory of Gaza. They have eliminated or shut down hundreds of miles of the Hamas tunnel network and uncovered and removed large quantities of Hamas arms and munitions. The Israeli general staff has revealed that for the first time, Hamas warriors are beginning to surrender on assurances of civilized treatment.

Canada eventually will support an “accountability system” to investigate Israel’s military conduct during its war against Hamas, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said Monday.

Joly also called for an end to the violence in Gaza but stopped short of demanding a ceasefire. She said Canada was still looking at different versions of an expected ceasefire resolution that the United Nations General Assembly is expected to vote on Tuesday.

Major (res.) Roy Yanovsky, head of the Channel 13 News investigative desk, on reserve duty with the 7007th Reserve Battalion in Gaza, posted pictures of the items he and other soldiers found in Gaza houses on his X account.

“Things you find in Gaza homes:” Yanovsky wrote, starting a thread and noting that the most common items were RPG missiles and Kalashnikov rifles. “The supply is highly impressive,” he wrote.

The second common item is explosive charges. “It’s hard to find a street without a house that has several ready-to-use, including vests, uniforms, and pretty impressive combat equipment,” he added.

Nazi collaborator Quisling would be proud of his fellow Europeans, self-titled “wokes” and “progressives,” not national socialists.

“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.”

The absolutely deranged, ignorant and plain stupid war on Hannukah that has been waged across the country shows just how much those on the nonsense-obsessed left have been waiting to let their antisemitism down to fly free. North American Jews tend to be white, and are often successful, which makes them the perfect enemy.

The latest salvo comes courtesy of the University of Alberta. After a law student requested a menorah be displayed in a study area, alongside Christmas trees, the faculty declined her request and, instead, removed the trees. Suddenly, once a request for a Jewish holiday was made, the faculty decided that the space was to be “non-denominational.”

Much has been made of the supposedly peaceful nature of the weekly Palestine marches. But public order comes at a price. Yesterday, it emerged that the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, wrote to the Home Secretary to request more funds for police officers, pointing out that Scotland Yard was facing a £240 million funding gap because of the demonstrations.

Since 7 October, he wrote, more than 28,000 officer shifts had been consumed by policing the protests in London. On top of this, the near-daily stunts mounted by Just Stop Oil – staged presumably when they are taking a break from creating havoc in railway stations for Palestine – have cost the force £20 million since their first campaign last year, requiring about 300 officers per day being taken away from frontline policing across London. This, of course, is troubling for the rest of the capital.

I don’t know how much more time we Jews have left in America. Maybe a hundred years. Maybe a thousand years. Maybe more. Maybe less (the proper adjective if too much to count). Maybe fewer (if few enough to count). But today, as I write in December 2023 on this third day of the miraculous season of Chanukah, 27 Kislev 5784, I can celebrate a glimmering moment as enough non-Jews in America stood alongside Jews and demanded that Liz Magill resign as president of the University of Pennsylvania. And now the bastard is out.

A former Hamas communications minister captured and interrogated by Israeli security officials told his captors that no one in Gaza backs the terrorist group’s current leader, Yahya Sinwar, and that he and his cohorts have “destroyed the Gaza strip,” according to Israeli press reports.

The former minister, Yousef al-Mansi, told Shin Bet agents questioning him that “This is a group of crazy people that [Yahya] Sinwar leads. They destroyed the Gaza Strip. Set it back 200 years,” according to the report.

On December 4, the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group Hamas announced the establishment of a new terrorist group in Lebanon with the goal of “liberating Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.” In the past two months, Hamas terrorists in Lebanon have carried out rocket attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians in northern Israel.

Hamas has called on the Palestinians living in Lebanon to join the group, “Vanguards of the Al-Aqsa Flood,” the name it chose for its barbaric invasion of Israeli communities near the border with the Gaza Strip on October 7, when it massacred 1,200 Israelis and abducted 240 others to the Gaza Strip.
