“Oct 7 2023”

Israel shouldn’t wait to invade Gaza City.

The ground phase of Operation Swords of Iron, Israel’s response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror rampage, seems ready to launch at any time. Israel has already begun to conduct raids — “thunder runs” — deep into enemy territory. The fighting will be difficult, not only because of the complexity of the urban terrain in the Gaza Strip and the presence of millions of civilians but also because of the political objective itself. This is no mere retaliatory raid but rather an all-out offensive in pursuit of what amounts to regime change.

Student and faculty reactions to Hamas’s atrocities demonstrate once and for all the fraud of elite higher education. We must reform our universities—or create new ones.

When I interviewed in 2022 for the job of Dean of Intellectual Foundations at the just-founded University of Austin (UATX), Pano Kanelos, the university’s founding president, asked me what I thought the new institution’s mission was. “To save civilization,” I said. “And here I thought the mission was to save American higher education,” he replied.

Informed observers have known for some time that our universities are broken. But the cheerleading on American campuses for terrorists who unleashed a pogrom of a magnitude and viciousness not seen since the Holocaust has made it clear that the collapse of higher education imperils Western civilization itself. Without real higher education, we would forget the past and stumble blindly into the future. Without universities worthy of the name, there would be no civilization.

Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, recently took a pop at immigrants who she accused of failing to ‘embrace British values’. But these newcomers to our shores might be forgiven for being confused about what these ‘values’ are. We live in a country, after all, in which misgendering someone can land you in hot water but chanting for ‘jihad’ on the streets of London is deemed acceptable. Britain is a place where we frequently express solidarity with victims of terror attacks and atrocities yet stay strangely silent on the plight of Israel after the slaughter of hundreds of its citizens.

Israel had not even buried its dead from the horrifying jihadist pogrom that Hamas terrorists unleashed on Israeli civilians in south Israel — beheading babies, burning them alive, torturing, raping, kidnapping, murdering — before the European Union decided to reward the terrorists by tripling its assistance to Gaza.

“The Commission will immediately increase the current humanitarian aid envelope foreseen for Gaza by 50 million euros,” European Commission President Ursula van der Leyen said. “This will bring the total to over 75 million euros. We will continue our close cooperation with the UN and its agencies to ensure that this aid reaches those in need in the Gaza strip.”

When I was just a child, I believed in monsters ‘neath my bed Scary things lived in the closet and in visions in my head.

But I grew up to learn that frightful things don’t always hide I can see them in the daylight on my city streets outside.

Hamas backers “have long operated in the United States” and they “are still engaged in various forms of support” for the organization, a new academic report claims.

The Program on Extremism at George Washington University (GWU) released an account of Hamas’ presence in the U.S. on October 13, which said that while many of its domestic activities have been foiled, networks and individuals remain in America providing “at times purely political and not material” backing for the group.

Dawn was flaring over Gaza as two men in Hamas garb rode south along Sofa Street on a motorbike.

The sky was clear. The road was empty. It was 6:40 a.m. They were on their way to kill Israelis.

They didn’t have far to go.

It was less than three kilometres to Sufa, the Israeli town they were attacking — one of 30 targeted that day.

Bad news, America—Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and Hezbollah terrorists aren’t just waging war on Israel, they are potentially crossing over the southern U.S. border too. World Jihad, here we come.

One Liberal MP said the antisemitism Canada is experiencing is “frustrating and shocking.” His comments were primarily directed at the street protests against Jewish businesses — but they were not limited to them. He was also speaking about his own caucus.

It is a grim irony that Justin Trudeau, who was once privately referred to as “Canada’s first NDP prime minister” by one of his own MPs, is watching the hijacking of policy by a group of MPs who are more left-wing than he is.

A handsome man in his 20s in a military uniform zips past me on a motorised scooter. A woman with a tattoo and piercings calmly sips a cortado in a coffee shop across from me. A young family bustles past. This is Israel in 2023.

I am on my way to a screening of “raw” footage of the 7 October massacres that Hamas committed against Israeli civilians. Atrocities that are being denied and dismissed across social media and in parts of legacy media internationally. “In 2023 we are still dealing with holocaust denial,” says my contact in the IDF media unit. “This event is an attempt to put that right.” This is also Israel in 2023.

Israel’s Shin Bet security service and Police force jointly interrogated six detainees from Gaza who participated in the destruction and mass murder of October 7, 2023.

The footage from the interrogation was released on Monday and showed selected clips from six separate interrogations.

Yocheved Lifshitz, one of the women freed from Hamas captivity on Monday night, spoke for the first time with media.

Lifshitz, whose husband is still held captive in Gaza, remains hospitalized at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

“My name is Yocheved Lifshitz, and I was born in 1983, in Israel,” she began. “I thank you for coming to hear my tragedy and that of my friends.”

The large influential accounts who shared Hamas giving tea to the 85 years old hostages yesterday were only helping the murderous Hamas terrorists spread their propaganda.
