“Oct 7 2023”

The media haven’t learned anything from last week’s Gaza hospital blast debacle. Despite repeated embarrassments, reporters for liberal cable and broadcast networks are still treating Hamas — a terrorist organization — as a reliable source in their ongoing coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

On October 17, reports emerged that an explosion had occurred at a hospital in Gaza. Within minutes, TV journalists were parroting a Hamas lie that the blast had been the result of an Israeli airstrike, which had killed more than 400 people. None of these reporters at the time wondered how the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Health Ministry had managed to tally the casualties so impossibly quickly.

Segments of the Jewish population in Berlin are being forced to consider a question many once thought unthinkable in the wake of the atrocities committed by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi followers and the subsequent promises of “never again” — is it time to leave Germany?

The explosion at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital on October 17 was a vivid illustration of Hamas’s ability to wage a propaganda war.

The claims made that night by Gaza’s health ministry, which is run by Hamas, highlighted the power of social media to influence global opinion about the conflict in the Middle East.

The health ministry claimed that the explosion had been caused by an Israeli airstrike and that hundreds of people sheltering in the hospital courtyard had died in the blast and ensuing fire.

Jewish houses are being targeted in a “frightening” campaign on university campuses, The Telegraph has learnt.

Students fear for their safety amid a 400 per cent spike in anti-Semitism.

It comes as some student unions and lecturers appear to have failed to condemn Hamas, a proscribed terror group, since the war on Israel began.

It has now emerged that Jewish chaplains’ houses, designed to be a safe space for students to come and go, have been targeted at two universities.

A veiled woman was shot and critically wounded by police in a Paris underground station after she threatened to detonate explosives.

Police cordoned off the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand Metro station on the left bank after the incident at 9am, which began when the woman started screaming at passengers while travelling on a train further up the line, officers said.

After passengers called police, officers confronted the woman — who was dressed with full face-covering veil and long robe — in the station.

From Le Parisian – According to the first elements, this woman shouted “Allah akbar”, claiming that “everything was going to explode”. “She started making worrying comments on a train, a few stations before arriving at the François-Mitterrand Library, according to witnesses,” confides a source close to the case.

Ministers are holding an official emergency (“COBRA”) meeting this evening on the Israel-Hamas conflict—their first on any possible terror threat.

This comes after Sir Mark Rowley, commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police, which is seeking clarification over its policing of extreme language, warned that the terrorism threat in Britain is being “accelerated” by the Middle East conflict. He said the country was facing a “particularly challenging time” which could see extremists at home motivated by fighting abroad.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu definitively stated in a Monday speech that his nation will not stand down in its retributive assault against Hamas, more than three weeks after the terrorist group’s invasion of Israel.

“Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities after the horrific attacks of October 7,” Netanyahu told the foreign press on Monday. “Calls for a ceasefire are a call for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terror, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen. Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war.”

America is probably the most diverse nation on earth in terms of race, ethnicity, and religion. There is a place here for everybody who shares our values and culture, including respect for the rights of those who do not look like us or pray like us (if at all). There is, however, no place here for “diverse” value systems that support violence, discrimination, misogyny, and similar things that belong in backward Dark Age societies.

California’s captains of industry are turning a blind eye to the conflict

Back in the early days of California’s ascendancy, the state was described as “the Jews’ early paradise”, a place where the lack of social norms, and enormous opportunities, were ideal for enterprising people unmoored from conventional business ties. In the years ahead, Jews spearheaded much of California’s banking, garment and later entertainment businesses.

They call it the ‘Hamas Metro’ and according to the terrorist group’s leader Yahya Sinwar, the network of tunnels under the tiny enclave extend for 310 miles – or 25 per cent longer than the entire London Underground.

If Israel is to succeed in its stated aim of ‘destroying’ Hamas, then finding and wiping out these tunnels with concealed entrances inside houses, schools and mosques, is a vital part of the mission, but one which carries inherent risks.

The network has been described as a ‘spider’s web’ by recently-released hostage Yocheved Lifshitz, an 85-year-old woman held for more than two weeks.
