If being cornered by the masked mob, getting fired for refusing a shot, or the frightening increase in police state tactics of the federal government didn’t convince you that America is headed toward despotism, then maybe this shocking Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll will finally get your attention. And here’s a warning; you’ll want to sit down for this one.
The Jewish state is facing a “hugely complicated” seven-front war against enemies within and beyond its borders — though “virtually all Arab countries” are “quietly cheering” for Israel, according to former commander of British forces in Afghanistan Colonel Richard Kemp, who blamed President Biden for “continuously appeasing” Iran, and called for “the strongest U.S. support for Israel in this conflict,” warning that further American “weakness” could encourage hostile nations to exploit the situation.
At least 10 times since Oct. 7, President Biden has stated that the Muslim Arab terrorist group Hamas, “does not represent the Palestinian people,” or variations such as “the vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas,” and “Hamas does not represent the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people.” Top Biden administration officials have repeated the same phrases.
But the Biden administration’s repeated statement isn’t true. In fact, Hamas overwhelmingly represents the Palestinian people.
This is the moment the Israel Defense Forces bombed a team of Hamas divers trying to infiltrate Israel after frogmen entered the sea from a Gaza tunnel.
The IDF said that at least two Hamas terrorists attempted to access Israel via the sea at Zikim – just north of the Gaza Strip – after entering a nearby beach in Gaza via a tunnel.
Footage posted by the Israeli military shows a coupe of naval vessels seeking out the target. Large explosions can then be seen in the ocean with the divers poking out just above the water.
IDF soldiers identified at least 2 terrorists that attempted to infiltrate Israeli territory in the area of Zikim via the sea.
Hamas terrorists are persistent in their attempts to murder Israeli civilians.

Toronto police are investigating several hate-motivated incidents, including unknown suspects allegedly banging on the door of a Jewish home and making hateful remarks.
Police would not say where it occurred and did not provide further details about the incident.

Israel has agreed to delay the invasion of Gaza for now, so the US can rush missile defenses to the region, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing US and Israeli officials.
US military officials were trying to convince Israel against carrying out a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip in response to Hamas’s October 7 massacre, CNN reported on Wednesday citing “several sources familiar with the matter.”
The BBC, the British equivalent of the CBC, has promised to stop calling Hamas a “militant” group and refer to the rulers of the Gaza Strip as “a terrorist organization proscribed by the U.K. government.”
That’s a bit passive-aggressive. The Beeb seems to be making the change reluctantly based on the technicality that the UK government (and just about every other government in the developed world) has designated Hamas as terrorists.
Germany’s public prosecutor has launched an investigation into a suspected plan to carry out an Islamist attack, its office in Dusseldorf said on Wednesday.
An arrest warrant has been issued for the 29-year-old man, who prosecutors say allegedly agreed with a chat partner in Syria to carry out an Islamist-motivated attack on a pro-Israel demonstration.
A man was detained on Tuesday after police showed up to his apartment in the western German city of Duisburg.
Good thing they don’t coddle terrorists in Germany.

A vigil for Baby killers. What a country.
Israel has released a horrifying audio clip of what it claims is a Hamas terrorist bragging to his parents about how he slaughtered Jews in an Israeli kibbutz on October 7.
The audio, played yesterday at a United Nations meeting in New York by Israel’s Foreign Minister, hears how a gunman allegedly took the phone of one of his Israeli victims to call his mother and father and tell them about his exploits in Mefalsim.
‘Dad I am inside Mefalsim. Open your WhatsApp right now, and see all the ones I killed. Look at how many I killed with my own hands – your son killed Jews!’ he exclaims.
Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen accused UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres of justifying Hamas’ October 7 attack and canceled his meeting with him.
“I will not meet with the UN secretary-general. After October 7, there is no room for a balanced approach. Hamas must be erased from the world!” Cohen stated.
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan called for him to resign.
Only a few have had the chance to witness the extraordinary actions of the Caracal Battalion during their battle against Hamas terrorists.
Lt.-Col. Or Ben-Yehuda, the commander of this unit, now recounts her experiences in the southern Gaza Strip, where her battalion eliminated approximately 100 terrorists. She also has a clear message for those who question the capabilities of female fighters in the Caracal (Desert Lynx) and Tank Battalion.
A group of law students at Toronto Metropolitan University has declared its “unequivocal support” for Palestinians and “all forms of Palestinian resistance” in a letter demanding that administration alter its “neutral” position on the violence in the Middle East.
The open letter, authored by the “Abolitionist Organizing Collective” and signed by about 74 law school students, triggered a backlash after being posted online Friday and has since been taken down.
Within any group of 150 people there are bound to be differing views on the current conflict in the Middle East. Even the average individual is likely to have conflicting feelings about the unfolding war between Israel and Hamas — about the need to respond to the atrocities committed against innocent civilians and about the deaths of innocent civilians caught up in the response.
So it’s not at all surprising that there are 23 people (at least) in the Liberal caucus who would like Canada to officially call for a ceasefire. It would be more surprising if there were absolutely no disagreements among the 158 Liberal MPs on such a fraught and serious matter.
