Natasha Hausdorff says UN Secretary General António Guterres should resign after he suggested Israel provoked Hamas’s attacks.
“They render him unfit to stay in office. Anyone who calls for a ceasefire before Hamas is destroyed is responsible for more deaths.”
The true roots of Islamic Jew-hatred.
“In the fog of war,” goes an old and time-tested saying, “the first casualty is truth.”
Few comments about the genocidal campaign launched against the Jews by Hamas exemplify this better than Fox News’ anchor Shannon Bream’s on-air statement that the majority of Palestinians do not support Hamas. Oh? Hamas is the elected government of Gaza, and has been so since the Israelis in 2005 voluntarily ended their occupation of what was even then a launching pad for unprovoked terrorist attacks on Jewish population centers –internationally recognized as war crimes.
Is Western “peacemaking” in the Middle East perpetuating the Arab-Israeli conflict? “Top Story” with Jonathan Tobin and guest Melanie Phillips, Ep. 115
(October 25, 2023 / JNS)
In this week’s episode of “Top Story,” JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin is joined by columnist Melanie Philips, whose work can be read at JNS.org and at MelaniePhillips.com.
According to Phillips, support for the Hamas terrorist organization based in the Gaza Strip on display in the Muslim and Arab world, as well as on the streets of cities in Europe and the United States in the wake of the terrorist atrocities of Oct. 7, is not rooted so much in a belief that Israel is in the wrong in the conflict. Rather, it is a manifestation of raw antisemitism: the lust for the shedding of Jewish blood and a hope that the destruction of Israel is at hand.
T. Belman. Israel is not letting the protecting of hostages to be more important than destroying Hamas. Nor should she allow the sparing of the hospital to take precidence. She can start by bombing all around the hospital. The IDF can land on the roof in great number and then start to descend floor by floor into the Hamas infratructure. It must be done.
It will set a precident for all Mosques, hospitals and UNRWA facilities within which Hamas is sheltering and firing rockets. The stakes are too high to play nice.

Achieving the goals that Israel has defined will take a long time. The elimination of Hamas’ rule and the destruction of its military capabilities will not be achieved in a single defined and limited operation. They will be the results of a process that will involve many prolonged and continuous actions. It is important to formulate plans and manage expectations accordingly.

“People do not choose war; they are forced into it. Those who do not know how to submit and subordinate everything to the needs of the war, when there is no other option, are doomed. War is the ultimate test not only of strength but of the will to live.” These words, by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, were spoken a few months before the declaration of the state in 1948. They still resonate strongly, 75 years later.
T. Belman. Haetzni nails it.
The reason for the delay was that Israel wasn’t prepared for a ground invasion. She just knew how to mow the lawn. She is playing catch-up.
We’ll know within a few days whether the current leadership will find the ability to start coping with the dramatic situation, namely, if it will give the order to move forward with a ground invasion of Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his supporters purported to classify him as a modern-day Winston Churchill of sorts, but history has already cemented his legacy as the Israeli Neville Chamberlain. Like the British prime minister who deluded himself and his nation by concluding the Munich accord, Netanyahu surrendered and led us to where we are now. Netanyahu isn’t alone on the stand; together with him are the high-ups of the left-center camp along with most of Israel’s defense leadership in the past generation.

T. Belman. Mudar told me about this clip. He has been telling me for months that the queen is worse than the king. They are both amoral individuals and liars. They are also behind the Hamas massacre.

Survivors of massacre on IDF base say they passed information up the chain of command on digging, mapping, training near the fence long before mass onslaught, but were ignored

The brutal Hamas massacre on October 7 was preceded by months of warning signs noted by IDF surveillance soldiers and disregarded as unimportant by intelligence officials, according to eyewitness accounts given in recent days.
At least three months prior to the attack, surveillance soldiers serving on a base in Nahal Oz reported signs that something unusual was underway at the already-tumultuous Gaza border, situated a kilometer from them.

The use of drones by Hamas at the outset of its terror attack in the western Negev, which developed into the Swords of Iron war, illustrated the enormous danger posed by these devices, although they are based on simple, cheap off-the-shelf technologies. It is imperative to examine ways of dealing with this threat and other readily available technologies that could also pose strategic threats, for example, AI (artificial intelligence) applications.

Israel will use novel “sponge bombs” as it fights through the network of Hamas tunnels under Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has been testing the chemical bombs, which contain no explosives but are used to seal off gaps or tunnel entrances from which fighters may emerge.

Recently at a large gathering in Jerusalem, a leading Italian parliamentarian said to the Minister of Tradition that Rome has possession of the Jewish Temple’s vessels and wants to return them to Israel.
Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, the Chief Rabbi of Safed, is the son of Israel’s former Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu and the father of its current Minister of Tradition, Amichai Eliyahu. He recently told a large gathering in Jerusalem that a leading Italian parliamentarian, from Italy’s ruling party, contacted his son, the Minister of Tradition. The Italian parliamentarian said that Rome has possession of the Jewish Temple’s vessels and wants to return them to Israel.
The sick thrill of antisemitism has a price
I grew up in a tiny Jewish enclave on Chicago’s South Side. When I first saw New York, in the Sixties, I was awed as by no subsequent marvel of nature: stretching north from Columbus Circle, up the West Side, was a Jewish metropolis.
New York, in my lifetime, had always been a Jewish city: the rhythms, the accent, the humour always felt to me like home. Because they were home. The populace, of whatever ethnicity, was formed or noodged by Yiddishkeit, much as the Chicago of my youth was by the culture of the Irish and the Poles.
