The attack by Hamas in Israel led to the greatest number of Jews murdered on one day since the Holocaust. A 9/11 moment. Yet, we have groups like the BLM movement standing with Hamas. Doesn’t the BLM movement know that there are thousands of BLACK Jews in Israel? Black Jews, 14,300 of them, were air-lifted by the Israelis from Ethiopia when their lives were in danger. And how about former NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire, an Orthodox Jew?
Never forget their refusal to condemn clear antisemitism and their willingness to take part in it.
Last weekend, Hamas advanced its assault on Israel, targeting the most vulnerable and defenseless they could find. Young men and women were gathered at an open-air concert near Kibbutz Re’im, a short distance from the Gaza Strip, when Jihadist paragliders swept in and began their barbaric rampage. The terrorists broke through the barrier into Israel and murdered hundreds more. At this writing, the death toll is more than 1,300, including 27 Americans.
The philosopher’s work has been too easily applied to Israel and Palestine
Frantz Fanon is a thinker who is worshipped but seldom read. Known for his provocative meditations on political violence, he is frequently dredged up in the argument over the Israel-Palestine conflict, which for many Leftists is the ne plus ultra of settler colonialism in the 21st century. In the aftermath of Hamas’s homicidal assault on civilian communities in Southern Israel, alongside mantras of “decolonisation is not a metaphor”, there was an enthusiasm among some sectors of the Left for what they misconceived as an act of anti-colonial “resistance”.
Britain, we have a problem. Across the country yesterday, thousands upon thousands attended ‘pro-Palestine’ demonstrations. The biggest, in London, attracted 10,000 people, according to police. Nominally, the protests were raging against Israel’s bombardment of Gaza and its policies towards the Palestinians. You might think protesting against a nation as it defends itself against a genocidal terrorist group – which a week ago slaughtered 1,300 Jews, including small children – would be enough to raise some eyebrows. But it didn’t take long for unabashed Jew hatred and support for the terrorists of Hamas to come bobbing up to the surface.
The University of California’s Berkeley’s Bears for Palestine this week expressed their support for Hamas just hours after the terror group’s attack on Israel left more than 1,000 dead.
But this was just the latest shocking display of support for the Islamist group since its inception in 2001.
The group was founded by Hatem Bazian, a controversial lecturer in Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies who has repeatedly justified terror attacks against Israel and Intifada (uprising) in the US.
A video purportedly from 2019 shows Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the progressive Democrat of Michigan, saying that Israel and the Palestinian people should “coexist” after being asked if the former has a right to exist.
In the video obtained by Fox News Digital, the Michigan representative is seen having a spirited conversation with a self-described “concerned Jewish constituent.”

The patterns of the anti-Semitic/Marxist/”Palestinian”/LGBTQ/BLM/hate-filled alliance are nothing if not predictable. After expressing shock and dismay that their Palestinian friends in Gaza specifically targeted civilians, in under a week, they have quickly shifted back to their repeated old rhetoric. They are now blaming Israel for the horrific attacks from Hamas, calling Israel’s counter-attacks on Hamas a “terrorist siege,” blitzing the media with images of wounded from Gaza, and attacking Israel in all ways as an ‘apartheid state’ and, as Ocasio Cortez defined Israel, a nation devoted to “ethnic cleansing”.
Children found bound and shot in the head. Young women raped and killed, their bodies driven through the streets of Gaza and spat upon. Rave participants massacred. A grandmother’s murder posted on her own Facebook page. Some of it apparently filmed and broadcast by Hamas, hoping to cow Israelis into submission. That is the very definition of “terrorism.”
Cheezus this could do worthwhile damage to our demented Universities.
Tensions were high on Carleton University campus Friday.
A cell phone video showed a vehicle with the Israeli flag being stopped by a rally. The student says the flag was ripped off his vehicle. Another person can be seen on the video giving the driver the middle finger.
A statement from the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs posted to social media reads in part, “During a large anti-Israel rally, a Jewish student was harassed and property damaged. Thankfully, there are no reported injuries.”

Israel isn’t the only target of Palestinian hatred.
Israel is not the only target of Palestinian terrorists. The United States has long been a recipient of Palestinian hatred and has been, in the minds of many Palestinians and much of the Islamic world, the other Satan.
Elites and those who are ignorant speak of the so-called cycle of violence in the Middle East but what is really telling as to the true nature of the Mid East is the decades long violence perpetuated by Palestinians and their allies.

A little more than a week before Hamas carried out its Operation al-Aqsa Flood, the national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, said: “The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades.” Sullivan was expressing a consensus view, one apparently shared by the Israeli government. Then came the attacks of last weekend and, as the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, said, “Not since the Holocaust have so many Jews been killed in one day.” The surprise attacks have been called Israel’s 9/11, its Pearl Harbor, and so the question Israelis are asking is: how could this happen? And of more consequence, perhaps: who was really behind it?
As awful events unfold in Israel and Gaza, it’s likely that historians will view Hamas’s surprise attack as analogous to the epic failure of France’s Maginot Line in World War II. Immediately following the surge of terrorists across the border on October 7 came the question: How did it happen, especially given that Israel’s “Iron Wall” on the Gaza border was considered the most technologically advanced barrier in the world and was paired with the similarly high-tech “Iron Dome” anti-missile defense?
Israel says Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is their BIN LADEN and that IDF won’t stop hunting him until he’s dead
Israeli troops on Saturday were hunting a Hamas commander described as Palestine’s Osama bin Laden, vowing to find him wherever he was hiding and insisting his days were numbered.
Yahya Sinwar, 60, is the current head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
He has been arrested by Israel multiple times and spent 24 years in Israeli prisons: he was freed in 2011, as part of a prisoner swap in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
The countries of the European Union are divided over whether to continue aid to Gaza. However, the question of whether it is possible to help the civilian population there without strengthening Hamas is not part of the current debate.
Most international aid to Gaza is channeled through UNRWA, a UN agency dedicated exclusively to Palestinian refugees and their descendants. In 2018, then US President Donald Trump stopped US funding for UNRWA, but the Biden administration resumed funding, with $222 million in 2022, and the United States is once again the leading contributor. With 44% of donations, the European Union and its member countries contribute almost half of the UNRWA budget.
Unfortunately, UNRWA’s very existence and modus operandi directly reinforce Hamas. For this international organization, though there are only a handful of surviving refugees from 1948, supposed “refugee status” is passed down from father to son, so there are now around five times as many “refugees” in Gaza as there were originally.
