If Qatar and Turkey are permitted to play a major role in the governance and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip after the Israel-Hamas war, it would mean a return to the pre-October 7, 2023 era, which saw the Iran-backed terror group fully controlling the coastal territory. In addition to Iran, Qatar and Turkey have long been sponsoring and funding Hamas and providing the terror group’s leaders with shelter.
Outspoken British journalist Douglas Murray has a blunt take on Israel’s strikes in Qatar, targeting Hamas’s leadership. “The scandal is not that Israel acted, but that it had to.” In an interview in Montreal with National Post, Murray, the bestselling author of On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization, offered a sharp and unapologetic view on Israel’s decision to target Hamas leaders in Doha.
You should go to the funeral.

We now support Hamas? What a stupid statement by Carney. h/t Mauser
After rejecting all proposals for a ceasefire-and-hostage deal, the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group Hamas is now trying to incite Arabs to revolt against their own governments under the pretext that the Arab leaders have failed to help the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Recently, senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya, who together with his family moved from the Gaza Strip to Qatar before the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led invasion of Israel, called on Arabs to “march toward Palestine by land and sea and besiege the [Israeli embassies in Arab countries, especially Egypt and Jordan].”
After nearly two years of war, Hamas’s military capability is severely weakened and its political leadership under intense pressure.
Yet, throughout the war Hamas has managed to continue to use a secret cash-based payment system to pay 30,000 civil servants’ salaries totalling $7m (£5.3m).
The BBC has spoken to three civil servants who have confirmed they have received nearly $300 each within the last week.
I bet Canada’s UNRWA tithe helps.
The recent announcements by France, Britain, Canada and other countries that they intend to recognize a Palestinian state have emboldened the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group Hamas. Its members, on October 7, 2023, were behind the worst crime committed against Jews since the Holocaust. The massacre resulted in the murder of more than 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals and the wounding of thousands. In addition, another 251 Israelis and foreign nationals were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, where 50 hostages – 30 believed dead and 20 believed alive – are still held captive.
I see no reason why Mark Carney wouldn’t fund this.
Seems totally reasonable and not psychotic whatsoever. https://t.co/g4gpJhUCn3

Hamas says it will not disarm unless an independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital.
The statement, which reasserts a long-held demand by the group, seemingly came in response to a declaration by the Arab League last week that called for Hamas to lay down its weapons and release all remaining hostages. On Tuesday, the 22 member nations called for Hamas to relinquish control of Gaza and hand it over to the Palestinian Authority, which rules the West Bank.
I assume Carney agrees.
Hamas propaganda exploits seriously ill children, and Western media go along.
Over the weekend, I embedded with the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza, where I saw the enormous quantities of humanitarian aid the United Nations has been refusing to distribute. What struck me most were the thousands upon thousands of pounds of baby food, baking under the Middle Eastern sun—jar after jar of mashed carrots, pureed potatoes and fruit blends. This food could have gone to children like Mohammed al-Mutawaaq.
According to reports in some media outlets, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has called on the Iran-backed Hamas terror group to “surrender its weapons to the Palestinian Authority.”
Abbas was quoted as saying: “Hamas will not rule the Gaza Strip.” His comment came long after the current war, which began on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas terrorists and “ordinary” Palestinians invaded Israel, and murdered 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals and wounded thousands. Another 251 Israelis and foreign nationals were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, where 50 – alive and dead – are still held captive.
In Canada they’re called the Liberal Party.
Hamas has been accused of torturing a man alleged to have stolen food in Gaza.
Graphic footage circulating on social media accounts linked to the terror group shows several figures standing over a blindfolded man as they use a metal bar to break his knees.
The video comes as the terror group attempts to retain control of Gaza. Statements on Hamas-linked channels report multiple “executions” of Gazans for taking food in recent days.

Having done plenty to irritate his supposed allies in Israel—in particular by undermining efforts to free the remaining hostages—French President Emmanuel Macron has found new friends in Hamas.
The terror group on Thursday praised the president’s proposal to recognise a Palestinian state, in the fanciful hope of getting Iran to recognise Israel, telling AFP this was an “important step.”
Documents shared with The New York Times impelled the media outlet to admit that senior staff at UNRWA schools doubled as members of Hamas’ military wing.
“The agency, which employs roughly 13,000 people, including thousands in the schools, has a duty to maintain the neutrality of its facilities in the conflict zones in which it operates, including by keeping militants off its premises and payrolls,” The Times noted.
But as shown by the detailed records kept by the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, that were seized by Israel, at least 24 people employed by the anti-Israel UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in their schools were members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
The stickers feature the silhouette of a dog relieving itself, and if placed low enough, passing pups can do their business on them, as intended.
Handsy antisemites, prone to ripping down posters supporting Israel or Israeli hostages, will end up with dog urine on their hands if they try to remove the stickers.
Extremist attack on Jewish community ‘realistic possibility,’ intelligence report says
… The government’s Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre wrote in a June 24 memo that it was monitoring “the rising tide of antisemitism and violent rhetoric associated with the conflict in Gaza with concern.”
“A lone actor attack—inspired by a range of ideological or religious extremism such as neo-Nazism or DAESH [ISIS] (Ed. Danishes)—targeting Jewish interests in Canada is a realistic possibility,” said a July 10 memo.
… The de-classified materials on the Canadian national security implications of the Hamas-Israel conflict were disclosed to Global News under the Access to Information Act.
Danishes are bad, evil and mean but Canada’s Nazis are a far greater risk.
Twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been met with pro-Hamas protests at Columbia University where she is teaching. Clinton appears to be still taking the brunt of the protest annoyances from the anti-Israel Left.
Hamas forced hostages to recite scripts in videos pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to negotiate a deal for a ceasefire, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Aviva Siegel, a now-released hostage, recounted how Hamas ordered her to partake in photo and scripted video shoots, often in the background of abuse and poor living conditions, that pressured Netanyahu to negotiate an end to the Israel-Hamas war, according to the WSJ. Israeli hostage negotiators and officials called the tactics a form of “psychological terror.”
