Israel Defense Forces troops refused to engage terrorists in Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7 and left members of the kibbutz to fight them off alone, amember of the community’s civilian security team recounted.

“The thing I remember the most, and the most traumatizing thing for me from this ordeal, was [being evacuated after hours of fighting and] arriving at the entrance to the kibbutz and seeing 500 soldiers stationed in an organized and orderly manner, standing and looking at us,” Yair Avital, one of the surviving members of the kibbutz’s security team, told Channel 12 in a segment aired on Wednesday, referring to the situation at 6.30 on the evening of the massacre.

Reactions to the Israel-Hamas war vary across Europe, determined by each country’s unique history and perspective. Here’s what governments are saying in Britain, France and Germany.

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:

Let’s look at how the war between Israel and Hamas is perceived outside the Middle East or the United States, specifically in Europe, where politics and culture were heavily shaped by war in the 20th century. Joining us are three NPR correspondents – Lauren Frayer in London, Eleanor Beardsley in Paris and Rob Schmitz in Berlin. Hi to all of you.

Banner headline events almost always flow from quieter real-life causes, and the worst attack on Israel in fifty years is not an exception.  The coordinated raids and massacres on October 7 were possible only because of more subtle interventions over two and a half years in rooms at the State Department and the White House, with indirect help from nonprofits like the Soros-funded International Crisis Group.  These interventions were driven by a small network of government and interest group insiders whose actions have gone unreported in establishment media.  Though their further consequences aren’t yet clear, they’ll almost certainly involve a push to weaken both Israel and an Israeli government resistant to accords with Iran.

• Every Palestinian child knows that if presidential elections were held today, the terrorist group Hamas would win. The most recent PSR poll, published one month before the Hamas massacre, showed that 58% of the Palestinians would vote for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh as opposed to 37% for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The poll also showed that 58% of the Palestinian public supports “armed confrontations and intifada” against Israel.

Russia ready to send troops to Gaza to stop Israel

Based on credible information, Hezbollah and Iran have notified the United States that they will lead a multi-front war against Israel, unless Israel immediately stops the war in Gaza.

Decades of communist subversion by China underlie the terror currently witnessed in the Middle East.

By Eva Fu, EPOCH TIMES Nov 1, 23

Try searching for “Israel” on China’s biggest search engine Baidu—the nation’s name is no longer on the map, although the names of its major cities are still there.

The discovery, which caught many in China by surprise on Oct. 30, is the latest twist in a calculated silence by the regime in Beijing, in contrast to other major world powers that have rushed to Israel’s side.

Will Hezbollah join the war against Israel? Has US foreign policy led to the emboldening of terrorists in the region? 

Is the most brutal attack on Jews since the Holocaust a simple outgrowth of Palestinian culture and education? In this week’s episode of Top Story, JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin is joined by Hezbollah expert Tony Badran.

They discuss – the American foreign policy since Barack Obama that strengthened Iran and its proxies in the region – the reversal of the Abraham Accords – whether or not Hezbollah will join the war.

The museum’s bizarre opposition to comparing the crimes of today’s Islamist killers to the Nazis is a betrayal of its mandate to preserve Jewish history.

In 1990, just as the age of the Internet was beginning, the term “Godwin’s law” was coined by author Mark Godwin. He observed that the longer any online discussion goes, the more likely it is that someone will make a comparison of something to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. And the person who goes there first usually loses the argument. But Godwin, who is also credited with the invention of the term “meme,” was more prescient than he could have known.

Since 1948, the international community has always given Israel’s enemies a ‘do-over’ after each attempt to wipe out the Jewish State.  No more.

Gary Willig, INN  Nov 1, 2023, 8:16 PM

In a speech before the international media on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed not to accept a ceasefire in the current war until Hamas is utterly defeated, defying the cries for a ceasefire from the United Nations, anti-Israel demonstrators, and far-left politicians from around the world.

“Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism,” Netanyahu said.

US President calls for “pause” in fighting in order to allow time to free hostages being held by Hamas.

Published: Nov 2, 2023, 3:14 AM

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday called for a “pause” in the fighting in the Gaza Strip in order to allow time to free hostages being held by Hamas, though he stopped short of calling for a full ceasefire.

Biden’s comments were made in response to a protester who heckled him during a political fundraiser in Minnesota and said, “I need you to call for a ceasefire right now.”

“I think we need a pause,” Biden replied, adding, “A pause means give time to get the prisoners out.” Read more…

The emphasis is on ‘starting’. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Here at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, we developed an extensive list of tax-exempt and other terror-funding ‘charities’.  The one that has appeared in multiple articles, the Alliance for Global Justice, including in a recent roundup of pro-Hamas attack charities, is now finally being cut off by the Ford Foundation and other leftist megadonors.

Evidence suggests that the terror group, or at least its policy toward Jews, is popular among Palestinians.

By Eugene Kontorovich, Erielle Davidson

On his recent visit to Israel, President Joe Biden insisted that most Palestinians oppose Hamas’s barbaric efforts against the Jewish state. At the same time, back in Washington, D.C., a mob of 300 broke into the Capitol. While the intruders resembled people you might see frequenting your local organic food co-op, they grabbed headlines because they described themselves as Jews protesting Israel’s war in Gaza, wearing shirts proclaiming, “Not In Our Name.”

While people are rightly questioning Elon Musk’s latest Starlink publicity stunt in Gaza, after using the Ukraine war as a backdrop for promoting Starlink, it’s the Biden administration that actually ensured Hamas has internet access.

The federal Constitution is a limited powers document, meaning it was designed to restrain—but the thing is, those shackles are for the federal government, not the American people. So, it’s no wonder why federal politicians hate it so much.

The little people are citizens and not subjects? These citizens have the right to peaceably assemble and “petition the Government for a redress of grievances”? They’re to own firearms to defend themselves if all else fails? The horror!
