“There have been about 1,200 Israelis that have been butchered by Hamas terrorists. That is the equivalent to around 30,000 or 40,000 Americans, if you adjust for population.”

(WND News Center) A senator is warning that Joe Biden’s proposed $100 million in “humanitarian” help for Gaza will go straight to the terrorists of Hamas.
That’s the terror group that just two weeks ago sent armed invaders into Israel and killed some 1,300 innocent civilians, including families that were burned alive and babies who were beheaded.
Israel now is beginning a campaign to pursue its goal of wiping out Hamas, which is based in Gaza, often concealing its military weaponry in or near hospitals, schools and residential neighborhoods so that innocent civilians are positioned as shields for the Hamas terrorists.

As prominent Zionist Max Nordau once observed, “Logic is a Greek art, and Jews can’t tolerate it. The Jew learns not by way of reason but from catastrophes.” Although the circumstances have changed greatly since those words were written, Max Nordau’s wisdom as applied to Israel has not changed.
In 1947, Arab countries rejected a UN plan to partition the British mandate in Palestine into two states. Armed with British weaponry and guided by British officers, Arabs were convinced they could claim the entire territory by military triumph. If not for comrade Stalin, who supplied the Jews with weapons via Czechoslovakia and dispatched hundreds of seasoned Soviet officers and generals of Jewish heritage to Palestine, all of whom played a pivotal role in the formation, organization, and leadership of the Israeli army, including the air force, Israel would not exist.

T. Belman. The US and the UK ordered Israel not to start her invasion of Gaza until American and British hostages are released. That was the reason for the “friendly” visit by both Biden and Sunak recently. How long does Israel have to wait? What was Israel promised in return?
Elsewhere I read that the humanitarian corridor has been opened in exchange for American and British citizerns to be let out. Hopefully these humanitarian supplies will remain in the south forcing all Gazans to go south to get them. But of course Hamas has other plans and this is Hamas controlled territory.
My heart is breaking. What I surmised yesterday, but was afraid to write has turned out to be true. I have never wanted to be wrong more than I do this morning. But I can’t pretend that “it will be OK,” as Israelis like to say.
The IDF has been ready for some time to begin the operation to eliminate Hamas from Gaza. The plans were made long ago, and updated regularly. Hundreds of thousands of reservists have left their jobs and families, at great expense to the government. The tanks are poised near the border. Why aren’t they moving?

POMPEO IS LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST IRAN.
HE IS TOTALLY ON ISRAEL’S SIDE.
HANNITY DEMANDED THAT THE MSM CORRECT THE STORY IT PUT OUT ON ISRAEL BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOSPITAL ATTACK.
HE CALLED IT A BLOOD LIBLE THAT MUST BE CORRECTED BY A FULL SCALE APOLOGY.

Beneath the seemingly civilized exterior of man lies tribal hatred, desperately trying to claw its way out. When it does, man can easily rationalize even the most heinous of his acts as virtuous. His target invariably becomes a demonized, marginalized group he can scapegoat as needed. No group has suffered more of this tribal hatred than the Jews.
The Twelve Tribes of Israel, descendants of Jacob, inhabited the land now known as Israel since antiquity. Ten of those Tribes ruled the Kingdom of Israel until the Assyrians expelled them in 722 BCE. The other two tribes ruled the Kingdom of Judah until the Babylonians dispersed them in 586 BCE. Jews restored Judah by around 538 BCE. It was only in the Second Century AD that the Romans ended the Jewish Kingdom, starting 1,800 years of colonial occupation.

1. Genocide
The earth is still running with rivers of blood from our brothers and sisters who were raped and slaughtered and burned alive. Their blood cries out from the ground calling for the elimination of the evil that caused their deaths and to avenge them. When reality is so difficult to accept, we turn to ancient sources to help us mediate that reality. We are in an event of biblical proportions, an event that goes way beyond a terrorist attack against Jews. What happened on October 7 in the Jewish communities along the Gaza border was genocide, a shocking proof of what these savages would do to us all, given half a chance.
T. Belman. Just as I advised 15 years ago, Israel is bombing Gaza before invading. Some people are already complaining about the collateral damage i.e., the deaths of civilians.
Let me remind you that so long as Israel is targeting a miltarly object, it is not a war crime if civilians are killed in the process.

When conventional armies take on enemies who have neither uniforms nor overt bases, and who impolitely refuse to assemble in conveniently targetable mass formations, the inevitable problem is how to find them. Indeed, such a task is often impossible, a reality that otherwise intelligent tacticians have mysteriously refused to accept, from Napoleon in Spain to the US in Afghanistan.
An Israeli American professor at Columbia University’s business school blasted his employer in a fiery speech on campus on Wednesday in which he ripped the university and its president for not publicly denouncing pro-Palestinian Arab student organizations, The New York Post reported.
In his remarks, assistant professor Shai Davidai alleged that Columbia’s president, Minouche Shafik, has not spoken out against the student groups.
Rafah border between Egypt and GazaFlash 90
The diplomatic tug-of-war between Israel and Egypt over the opening of the Rafah Crossing has the potential to decide the future of the Gaza Strip and the war altogether.
The question is as follows: Which side will succeed in forcing the other to take responsibility for the residents of the Gaza Strip? Israel has demanded the opening of the Rafah Crossing in one direction, and according to several media outlets, has offered Egypt, along with the United States and the United Arab Emirates, a series of economic benefits in exchange for opening the crossing.
In a statement made to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Abdollahian said that the “Axis of Resistance” (the Iran-led regional bloc’s preferred term for itself) might carry out “preemptive measures” against Israel within “a matter of hours.”
T. Belman. I am more surprised and disgusted with the support Hamas is getting throughout the world than I am with the depravity of Hamas.

The news at present is unrelentingly grim. The Hamas pogrom in Israel two weeks ago didn’t just visit a very great evil upon that nation. It also revealed that this evil is embedded in the west.
Onto the streets of Britain, America, Germany and elsewhere have poured tens of thousands of people baying for the destruction of Israel, celebrating the depraved Hamas atrocities against Israeli men, women, children and babies and bringing the pathological Jew-hatred that’s been coursing through the west now for many years to a terrifying crescendo.
BEN GVIR TWEETED LAST NIGHT.:
Civilian Front – today we armed with long weapons standby squads in Bnei Brak and Acre. In the last week, the Ministry of National Security and the Israel Police armed hundreds of new standby units throughout the country and distributed thousands of weapons made by Blue and White all over the country.
And this, in addition to significant simplifications in the exams and the entry of hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens into the circle of those entitled to personal weapons. The massive weapon reform that began when I took office and distributed about 24,000 licenses for life-saving weapons until the outbreak of the war continues with full force even now.
Beer Sheva is being armed tomorrow!
Our goal is to distribute thousands more weapons to the emergency rooms in the coming weeks.At the same time, I call on everyone who is eligible, following the new tests, to get a license for a private weapon – submit an application and arm yourself.
Our western intelligence sources confirm:
Jordan’s kinglet has just allowed entry to hundreds of the Iranian controlled militiamen known as Al-Hashed Al-Shabi, who arrived at the borders yesterday embarking on a mission “to fight Israel at the Jordanian borders”.

Whom are we zooming here, and why?
The signals being sent with President Biden’s visit to Israel on Wednesday may not be that mixed. It remains to be seen. But if they trend less mixed, we should be concerned that their purpose is to limit Israel’s options.
With little time tonight, I will concentrate on one aspect of the signal-sending. There’s more than one pointing in the same direction, but other writers are covering those aspects very competently. It’s the import of major U.S. naval movements that stands out to me and requires brief commentary.
To set the scene, here’s a look at a report out on 16 October that U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin “warned Israel against an escalation against Hezbollah at this time.”

(JNS) Since these false claims that Israel created Hamas or that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supported Hamas are circulating across social media, let’s address them.
Hamas is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization founded in Egypt in the 1920s, before the rebirth of the State of Israel, but which now has a presence in Israel and in much of the world. In its early days it coordinated with the Nazis and received support from Nazi Germany.
T. Belman. I totally disagree with Bob’s suggestion about turning over Gaza to Arab countries who would govern it along with the PA. Instead, I want to push all Gazans to the southern 20% of Gaza and for Israel to annex the northern 8o%. And then to reject any Arab return.

“I’m driving south to the Gaza corridor, the place Hamas invaded on Saturday,” Yonah Jeremy Bob says in our first phone conversation. “But it’s a straight drive, so let’s talk.” Mr. Bob is an expert on the Israeli shadow war with Iran, the subject of his new book, “Target Tehran,” and he covers the Israeli intelligence agencies and military for the Jerusalem Post. He’s busy tracking down answers to the questions every Israeli wants answered: How could this have happened? What’s the plan? Who will pay? Read more…
