The IDF’s Spokesperson’s Unit announced that this week, troops under the command of the 162nd Division led the special operation at the Shifa Hospital. The division is operating in northern and central Gaza, significantly reducing Hamas’ terrorist capabilities.
Peloni: Ukrainians have finally provided a response to the Nazi who was celebrated last year by Zelensky and the Canadian parlaiment, and the response should be very troubling to those who still foolishly cling to the notion that Ukraine does not actually have a Nazi problem. Indeed, how fitting is it that a Ukrainian SS Nazi received a Ukrainian award named after the notorious WWII Nazi collaborator Yaroslav Stesko. Yes, Ukraine does have a Nazi problem, and they are in no way seeking a way to deal with it. It will be interesting to see how many news groups in the West call on Zelensky to respond to this outrage and even more interesting to hear the deafening silence with which Zelensky will provide when he does not comment on the award made to the very real Nazi for whom he himself raised a cheer.
Ternopil Regional Council awarded the serviceman of the SS division “Galichina” Yaroslav Gunku with the honorary insignia “For Merits to Ternopil” named after Yaroslav Stetsko.
This is stated in the order of the head of the Ternopil Regional Council of February 6, 2024 No. 22.
E. Rowell: This case has not been decided yet, but the tenor and tone of the Justices’ questioning led to the demoralizing concern that the Supreme Court of the United States of America is about to cave in and allow the demolition of the First Amendment. Freedom of speech is the sine qua non of a free people, the bedrock on which all our liberties are based. If it goes, so also goes the Republic, down the rat hole of fascism.
If oral arguments were any indication, it appears the government may prevail and eviscerate our First Amendment in the process.
On Monday, the censorship-industrial complex was put on trial when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the landmark free speech case Murthy v. Missouri.
Evidence in the case revealed that in the run-up to the 2020 election, and increasingly thereafter, a raft of federal agencies both directly and via cutouts cajoled, coerced, and colluded with social media companies to censor wrongthinking Americans at a magnitude of millions of posts on matters ranging from the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story to the integrity of mass mail-in balloting and the efficacy of Covid vaccines.
The Gods of Political Correctness dictate that all religions are of equal worth; that there are “…three great Abrahamic religions,” and “The Arabs are Semites too, so they can’t be anti-Semites.” All three of these sacred cow clichés need to be slaughtered on the altar of truth.
Had Mr. Schumer told the truth, he would have said this: Israel’s being a pariah among the world’s nations tells us much more about the world’s nations than about Israel.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) twice described Israel as a “pariah” among the world’s nations:
“Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah. … [The Israeli public] understands better than anybody that Israel cannot hope to succeed as a pariah opposed by the rest of the world.”
It was for that reason that the majority leader said that Israel should choose a leader other than Benjamin Netanyahu, its current prime minister. Then, Schumer implied, Israel will presumably no longer be a pariah.
British Member of Parliament Andrew Bridgen last week called for the death penalty for Bill Gates and the “Covid cabal” which he said committed “crimes against humanity” during the Covid pandemic.
“Heads of governments around the world and others below them have engaged in what is tantamount to treason against the public,” declared Bridgen in response to a rebuttal from his colleague Penny Mordaunt, who is a long-term World Economic Forum (WEF) member.

The outburst of antisemitism across the West following the Hamas massacre on Oct. 7 and the world’s inability to clearly differentiate between the attacker and the victim indicates that the lessons of the Holocaust have not been learned, the Czech ambassador to Israel said on Wednesday.
“I was very surprised how soon after October 7 this eruption of antisemitism came even before the Israeli military operation in Gaza began,” Ambassador Veronika Kuchynova Smigolova told JNS in an interview. “I had thought that classic antisemitism was much weaker than it is.”
Bitter rivalry—attempts at reconciliation—and a new crisis: This is how the cycle of relations between Fatah and Hamas has looked for many years. It seems that this cycle will not be broken in the near future, which significantly reduces the possibility of the Palestinian Authority’s control of the Gaza Strip “the day after.” In the absence of another solution, that rivalry could pave the way for a temporary Israeli military rule in Gaza.
When tasked with conducting long range strike missions, the IDF has traditionally relied upon the Israeli Air Force, which is why the latter is unofficially known as the “long arm” of the Israeli Army. Two successful long range IAF missions exemplify their remarkable capabilities: the 7 June, 1981 Operation Opera, which destroyed the Iraqi nuclear reactor near Baghdad and the 1 October, 1985 Operation Wooden Leg that destroyed the PLO’s headquarters in Tunis. Today, however, the IAF’s future effectiveness against Iran’s nuclear weapons establishment has been called into question by a number of complicating factors.
T. Belman: Ben-Gvir is a pariah because he declares without apology that the Jew has an organic right to reside in the Land of Israel, not the Arab, and that that right was bestowed upon us by G-d Himself.
Ben-Gvir is a pariah because he declares without apology that the Jew has an organic right to reside in the Land of Israel, not the Arab, and that that right was bestowed upon us by G-d Himself.
Kudos to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir!
An international pariah, an obstacle to peace, an outcast on the world stage. What a breath of fresh air this man is!
As a student of Meir Kahane, HY”D, he is automatically labeled a racist, a Jewish terrorist and a hater. Yet here is a sampling of Kahane’s “extremist” thinking and worldview:
Peloni: Bibi continues to resist American dictates to end the war, and instead reasserts that a decisive victory will be achieve, which of course includes conquering Rafah.
“We always did what was necessary for our safety, and we will do so this time as well,” the premier said in an address to Israeli citizens.
Israel Defense Forces troops will enter the Hamas stronghold of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip with or without support from the United States, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed on Wednesday.
USAID, which is responsible for carrying out Biden’s plan to build a port in Gaza, has transferred control over the project to a partnership of Qatar and Hamas.
@BaruchYedid@Now14Israel‘s Arab affairs correspondent reported all the details yesterday. I translated his report, below.
Host Shimon Riklin: You’re bringing an initial report that the pier that is being built in the Gaza Strip will be owned by Qatar/Hamas.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer declares Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace and must be replaced. Is he alone among the US government in his efforts to oust the Prime Minister? And is there cooperation from forces from within Israel to topple the elected government of Israel?
Peloni: Shumer’s statement, which has received the endorsement of the White House which probably wrote it for their court toady to deliver, provides a chilling revelation of the accelerating hostility towards Israel which the US has already espoused since Trump left office. When read closely and carefully, the shocking details are even more shocking and more detailed than might be appreciated after hearing this contemptuous policy piece just once. Greenfield explains.
The terrorists may not have won in Israel, but they won within the Democratic Party.
Senator Chuck Schumer stood at the Senate podium and laid out his vision of the “four obstacles to peace”. These, according to the Senate Majority Leader were, Hamas, “right wing Israelis”, PLO terrorist leader Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Having equated Israeli conservatives to Hamas, Schumer demanded that Israel call a new election and remove its current government from power. And if Israelis did not choose to obey, he warned that the “United States will have no choice but to play a more active role in shaping Israeli policy by using our leverage to change the present course.”
That is an obvious euphemism for anything from the withdrawal of aid to economic sanctions.
E.Rowell: The globalists currently in charge of the US want continuous war. They are turning the US into a totalitarian terror state in which public statements that oppose the government’s narrative can get you a 6 am visit by a SWAT team of FBI and an imprisonment in a gulag. They constantly deride Putin as a dictator. But they are the ones sowing cultural chaos, division, and fear, in the US. They sow wars all over the world, yet they maintain they are the ones “saving democracy.” They have managed to take a country with a Constitution and free elections and turn it into a totalitarian country in which the governing elites always win elections by fraud.
Ukraine’s attempt to interfere in Russia’s Presidential election has backfired. Putin’s internal support is stronger than ever. The geniuses in NATO and in US intelligence simply failed to understand Russia or the Russian election system.
I was a Presidential election observer in two countries: Uzbekistan and Taiwan. They are as different as night and day. The contrast is important now that Russia has completed its presidential election.
Israel struck five senior Hamas operatives in the city of Rafah, in southern Gaza, on Monday, despite the public opposition of the Biden administration to Israeli attacks there, and a demand for prior approval by Washington.
As Breitbart News reported, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters on Monday at the White House that President Joe Biden opposed attacks in Rafah had summoned Israeli officials to D.C. for discussions.
Haiti has now entered a metaphorical Hall of Failed States, where it can be alphabetically exhibited between Congo and Libya. Now, a Florida Keys-bound refugee flotilla of rickety sail boats—ever the irresistible love object of news video cameras—is taking form as a kind of torpedo heading at President Joe Biden’s November re-election ambitions.
U.S. President Biden said he told PM Netanyahu to send a team to Washington to discuss ways to target Hamas without a major ground offensive in Rafah. Netanyahu told Israeli lawmakers “We all need to stand united against the United States’ position that we shouldn’t go into Rafah.” Oxfam, Human Rights Watch called on the U.S. to suspend arms transfers to Israel over alleged war crimes. The White House said it was “deeply concerned” by a recent report citing an imminent famine in Gaza.
Here’s what you need to know 165 days into the war:
Senator Chuck Schumer epitomizes the famous quote where Lenin referred to those who work against their people’s own best interests in support of their enemies “useful idiots.”
While Senator Chuck Schumer calls himself the “Shomer” (Guardian) of Israel, I’ve heard a number of other nicknames recently, including “useful idiot,” or as Rabbi Pesach Wolicki called Schumer, “court Jew.”
