There are no ‘innocent’ Palestinians in Gaza  

57% of Gazans support Hamas, 71% have a favorable opinion of Islamic Jihad. Clearly, there are no “innocent” Palestinians in Gaza. Oped.

  Oct 19, 2023, 9:39 PM (GMT+3)

As I listened to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and President Joe Biden drone on about the need for us to allow an unmonitored humanitarian aid corridor to be created for the displaced Palestinians of Gaza, I was reviewing a recent poll of Gazans issued by the Israel Advocacy Movement. The results of the poll indicated that 57% of Gazans supported Hamas, while 71% had a favorable opinion of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. These numbers were then compared unfavorably to the 44% of Germans who voted for the Nazis. Clearly, there are no “innocent” Palestinians in Gaza.

What next? The war objectives and how to achieve them  

Israel must fight until the military capabilities and leadership of Hamas and the other organizations in Gaza are destroyed. Opinion.

Gaza boming 2023Atia Mohammed/Flash90

On Saturday morning, October 7, 2023, Israel was surprised by a Hamas attack. The terrorist organization managed to plan, train, and carry out a synchronized surprise strike, and IDF soldiers found themselves completely inferior to the flow of forces and the daring of Hamas.

Although we do not yet have all the details, it is clear that Hamas built very effective offensive operational capabilities. Hamas operated in a coordinated manner in a few locations, penetrated the Gaza barrier without opposition, overcame the second line of defense by taking over IDF camps, and carried out a killing spree while abducting soldiers and civilians to Gaza. It also captured military equipment and transferred it to the Gaza Strip.

Hamas shows U.S. the danger of foreign aid  

By Connor Vasile, AM THINKER

President Biden recently condemned Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians. “It’s abhorrent,” he said. “The brutality of Hamas’ bloodthirstiness brings to mind the worst rampages of ISIS.”

Our aged commander-in-chief must have forgotten the $6 billion in “humanitarian aid” he sent to Iran over the last month. Though the Biden administration is scrambling to freeze the transfer, it’s too late; Iran has already freed up its own funds to support terrorist activity.

Iran Declares War on US – We Pretend Not To Notice  

By SAM FADDIS   OCT 18, 2023

Ever since Joe Biden sat down in the White House, he has pursued policies contrary to the interests of the American people and beneficial to our enemies. He has projected weakness. He has practiced appeasement. We have grown weaker. Those who wish us dead have grown stronger.

The corporate media has pretended this is not true. The Democratic Party has stood behind Joe even as he has placed the entire nation in jeopardy. The feckless GOP establishment has done nothing of consequence to push back.

Former Mossad chief: Mistake to open Gaza crossing  

T. Belman.  It is absurd to nourish them while bombing them. This is war.

Yossi Cohen, former Mossad chief, warns: Providing Gaza with water is the first blink in Israel’s policy; Gazan civilians also joined massacre of Israelis in border towns.

Oct 16/23

Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen has called on Israel to stand firm behind its policies and not provide water to Gaza.

Speaking to Reshet Bet, Cohen said, “Do not blink in the closure, do not blink in the blockade. Bringing water into the Gaza Strip is the first blink in the Israeli policy.”

“Bringing merchandise in through the Rafah Crossing is a mistake,” he stressed, noting that Gazan civilians also took part in the October 7 butchering of innocent Israelis.

The Biden Administration Tries to Hide What It Knew About an Impending Massacre, While Leaving U.S. Backing for Iran Untouched  

“It appears, then, that the United States had a separate reporting stream it didn’t pass on to the Israelis…So now everyone is attempting to shift blame for the miscalculation of how messy the result would be, while leaving U.S. sponsorship for the author of the attack untouched.”

The D.C. blame game is about avoiding responsibility while protecting a policy that is written in blood

by Lee Smith, TABLET     October 16, 2023

The continuing proliferation of conflicting and contradictory stories leaked by U.S. intelligence services regarding what they knew—and, more importantly, didn’t know—about the planning for Hamas’ assault on Israel, is more than just a D.C. bureaucratic comedy act. Taken together, the profusion of leaks suggests there are people in offices and agencies across the Beltway who are worried they’ll be blamed for missing signals and human intelligence outlining plans for the largest one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

When Gaza has Money, Hamas has Rockets  

“As long as the United States, the United Nations, and other allegedly peaceful countries provide funds to Gaza, and as long as Hamas continues to direct Gaza’s treasury, it’s as if we peaceful westerners ourselves were the ones buying Hamas the weapons”

By John F. Di Leo

Whether you grew up watching reality law enforcement programs or fictional mafia movies, there’s one thing everyone knows: When a known hit man murders a stranger, the odds are at least ten to one that he was paid to do it. Find the person who paid him, and you’ve identified the real responsible party.

This doesn’t just go for individual crimes, either.  The same principle applies on the grand scale.

On Oct. 7, 2023, a horde of Islamofascist terrorists known as Hamas launched simultaneous, carefully coordinated attacks on Israel.

Israeli Victory Is the Only ‘Proportional’ Response  

Israel Victory Project

by Nave Dromi, JNS    October 18, 2023

https://www.meforum.org/israel-victory-project/65002/israeli-victory-is-the-only-proportional-response

Published originally under the title “Victory Is the Only ‘Proportional’ Response.”
Once again, the international community and the media are becoming obsessively focused on the ridiculous notion of “proportionality” in regard to Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre.

First, it should be clearly understood that there is no accepted or exact definition of the term “proportionality” or a formula for calculating it.

In general, the principle of proportionality involves a balance between the military advantage that will likely result from a proposed operation and the harm that is likely to be inflicted on civilians and noncombatants.

Despite US admission Hamas ‘may seize’ aid to Gaza, Biden announces $100m in Palestinian aid  

“We know Hamas is going to commandeer that money, and Hamas is going to use it to advance terrorism,” stated Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a presidential candidate.

Later this week, U.S. President Joe Biden intends to ask Congress for “an unprecedented support package for Israel’s defense,” he said today at the David Kempinski Hotel in Tel Aviv. “The world will know that Israel is stronger than ever, and my message to any state or any other hostile actor thinking about attacking Israel remains the same as it was a week ago: Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.”

Joint war cabinet: No aid to Gaza as long as hostages are not returned  

Israel will not stop the food, water, and medication from Egypt from reaching civilians in the southern Gaza Strip as long as it does not reach Hamas.

Oct 18, 2023, 6:01 PM

The Prime Minister’s Office summed up the joint cabinet meeting with US President Joe Biden and said that three decisions were made in light of the overwhelming US support and the vitality of the war effort and in light of Biden’s demand for basic humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

The central decision is that “Israel will not allow any humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip as long as the hostages are not returned.”

Israel’s war on Hamas – Western defense against Islamic terrorism  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”

Hamas’ anti-Western strategy

*Hamas was established in 1988, as a spin-off of the Muslim Brotherhood, as were ISIS, Al Qaeda, the Islamic Jihad, Boko Haram and scores of additional terror entities. The Muslim Brotherhood is the largest Sunni terror organization, haunting all pro-US Arab regimes, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, Africa, Europe and the USA. Its strategic goal is to topple all national Muslim regimes, bring the Western “infidel” to submission, and establish a universal Muslim society.

*Hamas, just like the Muslim Brotherhood, considers Israel as “an infidel” entity in “the abode of Islam,” a US beachhead in the Middle East and a deterring ally of all pro-US Arab regimes.
