As Israel was attacked by Islamic extremists from the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, dozens of world leaders called Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu or expressed their solidarity with the Jewish state in another manner, except for Russian President Vladimir Putin – the two leaders did not speak until October 16.

Majority Aged 18-24 Say Hamas Massacre of Israeli Civilians ‘Justifed’  

T. Belman. China and Russia support the TSS because the 1.8 billion Muslims in the world support it. This is the same reason the US and the UN support it.

No one would shed a tear if Israel was destroyed except the US. But, given the poll of American youth, that is changing. Mike Leven explains how it came to be that Hamas is so powerful in the US attributing it to the Muslim Brotherhood. But they are not alone. Marxist ideology has taken over the universities of America. Add to that the Globalists and you have a perfect storm.

ACCEPTING THE TSS WILL NOT SAVE iSRAEL iT WILL HASTEN HER DEMISE

JEWS, BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.

By John Nolte, THE JEWISH VOICE Oct 24/23

Polling shows that a majority of those aged 18-24 believe that Hamas’s massacre of 1,200 Israeli civilians in Israel was “justified.”

Buy guns, America…

In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves: Lots and lots of guns.

This Harvard Caps Harris Poll was taken before the death toll increased to 1,400.

Israel livid after UN chief says Hamas attacks ‘did not occur in vacuum’  

Israeli envoy calls remarks from Guterres a justification for terror, as FM cancels meeting with him; Gantz accuses secretary-general of being a ‘terror apologist’

Israeli officials railed at UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Tuesday after he appeared to suggest the impetus for the Hamas terror group’s devastating October 7 attack on Israel was the Jewish state’s continued control of Palestinian territories.

“It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said at a UN Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas war, which erupted when the terror group ravaged Israeli border communities, killing some 1,400 people, the vast majority of them civilians.

Netanyahu’s Deal With Putin Goes Wrong  

MEMRI.  Hamas Attack Against Israel Benefits Putin’s War In Ukraine
Is Ukraine the winner ?

By Vladislav Davidson, TABLET      OCTOBER 24, 2023

The Hamas massacres in the Israeli south that killed more than 1,400 Israeli civilians and members of the Israeli Defense Forces on October 7th constituted the worst day of violence against Jews since the Holocaust. The terrorist incursion also had the effect of undermining multiple long-standing and delicate balancing acts of regional diplomacy, which rested upon logic, predicates and assumptions that turned out to be delusional. The efficacy and wisdom of the neutrality entente between Moscow and Jerusalem, formerly a pillar of regional security arrangements, suddenly looks a lot less rational or defensible than it did to Israeli leaders before the attack.

Refusing to Bite the Bullet:  

Yossi Kuperwasser wrote How Israel Can Solve Its Gaza Problem in Middle East Quarterly.

Martin Sherman takes isssue with him.

by Martin Sherman

The only way for Israel to determine how Gaza is ruled—and by whom—is to rule it itself.

Ever since the ill-considered and ill-fated unilateral abandonment of the Gaza Strip by Israel in August 2005—euphemistically dubbed the “disengagement”—Jerusalem has found itself embroiled in a seemingly interminable circle of violence, which the disengagement was supposed to prevent.

Ben Gvir demands Bibi add another minister to war cabinet to broaden opinions  

National security minister, left out of narrow forum overseeing conflict with Hamas, accuses members, including PM, of having mishandled terror group for years and causing war

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Monday demanded that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu add a minister to the three-person war cabinet, accusing those already on the panel overseeing the war against Hamas of having harbored misconceptions that enabled the terror group to carry out its devastating attack on October 7.

Ben Gvir demanded that the additional member not be from the premier’s Likud party or Benny Gantz’s National Unity, which left the opposition to join an emergency government in the wake of the Hamas assault that killed over 1,400 people in Israel, the vast majority of them civilians.

Jordan’s King Abdullah Excuses Palestinian Barbarity  

THIS IS ABDULLAH’S SWAN SONG

FirstOneThrough Oct 23/23

Several countries met in Cairo, Egypt on October 21 in a “Cairo Peace Summit,” a most disgraceful naming of an event in the aftermath of a savage Arab terrorist attack that killed over 1,400 people in Israel. The naming was presumably meant to shield the barbarians and their supporters in the Arab world.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II certainly took the cue and pretended to talk about peace, while intentionally adding fuel to the flames.

Al Sisi and Abdullah are behind the Hamas massacres  

Naseem Gheewan who spoke at my Webinar last year just tweeted:

Intelligence information for the Jordanian opposition coalition: Al-Sisi and the King of Jordan, through the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan and in coordination with Hamas, are behind what is happening in Gaza, and for reasons that are in the interest of their remaining in the chairs.

There Is No “Political Hourglass,” But Clear Decisions Are Required  

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Unlike during previous conflicts, Israel is not constrained this time by a “political hourglass” and it would be wise to remove this concern from the table if a decisive outcome in the ground operation against Hamas is to be achieved. The ability to maintain this situation over time is in Israel’s hands. Seven clear decisions, detailed below, will be required to strengthen Israel’s hand, along with the establishment of mechanisms necessary for their implementation.

MEF Poll Finds Israelis Massively Support Eliminating Hamas  

News from the Middle East Forum  October 23, 2023

PHILADELPHIA – October 23, 2023 – A poll commissioned by the Middle East Forum finds overwhelming support among nearly all sectors of the Israeli public to eliminate of Hamas.

When asked the question “what should Israel’s primary objective” be in the forthcoming war, 70 percent of respondents answered “eliminate Hamas.” In contrast, 15 percent answered “secure the unconditional release of captives held by Hamas” and 13 percent answered “disarm Hamas completely.” Revealingly, 54 percent of those who said they voted for the Arab party in the last election also favored eliminating Hamas.

“It is clear the public is calling overwhelmingly for the elimination of Hamas; nothing short of that will be considered a victory,” notes Nave Dromi, director of the Middle East Forum’s Israel Office. “The decision-makers now have the statistics to demonstrate where the citizens of Israel stand on these issues; Israelis call on them to act accordingly.”

Eying Gaza mediator role, Turkey cools Hamas ties, Erdogan restrains rhetoric  

Ankara has politely shown the door to Hamas leaders staying in Turkey, according to two sources, as it walks a diplomatic tightrope, careful not to jeopardize its recent thaw with Israel while maintaining support for the Palestinian cause.

Fehim Tastekin   @fehimtastekin

Turkey has been trying to carefully calibrate its stance in the face of the war that Hamas launched against Israel on Oct. 7, maintaining its advocacy of the Palestinian cause while cooling ties with Hamas and seeking to avoid a fresh fallout with Israel.

The crisis hit at a time when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is pursuing normalization with regional powers, including Israel. After years of bilateral spats, Erdogan met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York last month and invited him to visit Ankara.

Who Says Hamas Does Not Represent The Palestinians?  

by Bassam Tawil, GATESTONE  •  October 23, 2023 at 5:00 am

  • The Biden administration’s assertion that Hamas is an insignificant group of terrorists that does not enjoy the support of many Palestinians is not only false; it is dangerously so. This assertion contradicts the reality, which proves that Hamas actually does represent a significant portion of the Palestinians.
  • This inconvenient reality is based on public opinion polls conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) and the results of elections for the Palestinian Legislative Council and university student councils and professional unions. It is also based on mass demonstrations and rallies in support of Hamas before and after the October 7 carnage in which Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1,400 Israelis and wounded more than 4,000.
