Hamas made several strategic miscalculations in its unconscionable attacks on Israel.
Hamas seems to have made two fundamental miscalculations in staging its barbaric October 7 attack on Israel.
First, its leadership clearly assumed that the United States would not continue to support Israel if it killed enough of the Palestinians whom Hamas has been using as human shields to protect its command centers and underground tunnel networks in Gaza.
Among the groups that have supported the rapes, beheadings, burning alive, mass murder and kidnappings of Jews by Hamas have been some that purport to speak for gays, Jews, feminists and progressives. If any of these groups were actually to travel to Gaza, they would be murdered by Hamas.
Hamas has no tolerance for gays, Jews, feminists or progressives. Indeed, among the people beheaded, raped, murdered and kidnapped were gays, Jews who support Palestinians, feminists, progressives and non-Jews. None of that matters to Hamas. If you are a Jew or an Israeli or just happen to be in the way, you are a target of their barbarity.
Anti-Israel thugs who defile Britain’s memorials should face immediate deportation, a celebrated war hero has told Express.co.uk.
Lieutenant Colonel Tim Collins, who is best known for his role in the Iraq War including his rousing eve-of-battle speech, defended the “democratic right of people to march in protest”.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, he added: “I think they should take into consideration that the remembrance is remembering the people who won them the rights to exercise that.”
Hundreds of Stars of David have been smeared on walls in and around Paris since the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct 7
France is investigating possible Russian involvement in an alleged anti-Semitic campaign that has seen Stars of David daubed on buildings throughout Paris.
Security services reportedly believe the graffiti may have been part of a Russian campaign to “destabilise” France and foment anti-Semitism in the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel.
Hundreds of Stars of David, the symbol of the Jewish religion and the State of Israel, were smeared on walls in and around the French capital late last month.
A poppy seller claims he was punched and kicked by protesters during a pro-Palestinian demonstration at Waverley station, Edinburgh.
Video on social media showed Jim Henderson, a 78-year-old army veteran, trying to escape the protesters on Monday.
Broad swathes of Canadians are concerned about the relationship between the country’s Jewish and Muslim communities, according to a new poll.
The survey conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies found fifty-five per cent of Canadians worry about relationships between Jews and Muslims in Canada, and 50 per cent worry about the way Muslims interact with non-Muslims.

Scotland Yard has asked organisers of the pro-Palestinian march planned for Armistice Day to “urgently reconsider” amid growing concern over the risk of violent disorder.
Thousands of people are expected to attend a rally in central London on Saturday to protest against Israel’s action in Gaza following the Hamas terror attacks last month.
But police have come under growing pressure to ban the march after politicians said organising it on November 11 – the day when the country remembers those who paid the ultimate price – was an affront to the British public.
Hmm they changed the original headline from “begs” to “asked” and “pleaded” became “appealed.”
The MET are afraid.
Conditions in the Gaza Strip have long been dire, with the territory referred to by some as the world’s ‘largest open air prison’.
Even before the outbreak of war in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 terror attack on Israel, half of Palestinians living in Gaza depended on food supplied by the United Nations.
Those conditions have deteriorated over the last month, as Israel continues its bombardment of the 140-square-mile Strip in its mission to destroy the Hamas terror group.
In a deeply troubling turn of events, a pro-Palestinian rally held in Montreal on October 28, featured a horrifying display of hate speech and incitement to violence & genocide, where a rally participant openly called for the destruction and mass murder of Zionists (AKA Israeli Jews).
A 69-year-old Jewish man died on Monday after falling and hitting his head during an altercation with pro-Palestinian protesters in California, according to authorities.
Paul Kessler succumbed to injuries sustained at dueling demonstrations on Sunday in Thousand Oaks and authorities are investigating his death as a possible hate crime, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said.
Kessler, an Israel supporter, was involved in a scuffle with pro-Palestinian protesters around 3:20 p.m. when he suffered a head injury during the confrontation, authorities and family friends said.

“Dad, look at your WhatsApp. See how many I killed with my bare hands, Dad. Your son killed the Jews … I killed ten with my bare hands. Their blood is on my hands … I’m talking to you from a Jewish woman’s phone.”
When I’m asked — and the question is a blunt sword — what the difference is between Jewish children slaughtered by Hamas on Oct. 7 and Palestinian children torn limb from limb by Israeli bombs, my answer is this:
One is deliberate murder, the other is a horrific consequence of war.
The force’s employee reportedly said support for Israel should be seen as ‘extremist ideology’ and ‘inciting hatred against Muslims’
An employee of the Metropolitan Police is being investigated by the force for appearing to claim that support for Israel should be treated as “extremist ideology”.
Amina Ahmend, who is described on her Linkedin page as a leadership programme facilitator and project manager for the London police force, appeared to suggest that backing Israel in the conflict should be treated as a hate crime.
In a post apparently made by Ms Ahmed she said that those who support the war in Gaza “should be called out as Islamaphobic and inciting hatred against Muslims”.
Over the span of 43 minutes, I watched 138 humans be murdered or witnessed their corpses, many brutalized beyond recognition and others clearly tortured, in the direct aftermath of Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel.
That’s 3.2 bodies per minute— and less than 10 per cent of the more than 1,400 people killed that day.
