No ceasefire, Hamas doesn’t get a ‘do-over’ to commit genocide again  

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.

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.

Biden on Gaza fighting: I think we need a pause  

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

Published: 

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…

A Crackdown on Pro-Hamas Nonprofits in the US Begins  

By     Nov 1/23

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.

Not “Just Hamas”  

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.”

Israel de facto implements the Second Amendment and Joe Biden is reportedly not happy  

By Olivia Murray, AM THINKER   Oct 31/23

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!

Passivity is Killing Us  

by Victor Rosenthal >November 1, 2023

Israel’s defensive strategy in recent years has been primarily passive. Passive defense does not target an enemy, but puts obstacles in his path. Our passive defenses include security barriers on our borders, with a billion-dollar one under and above the ground next to Gaza. We have built a technological marvel of a layered anti-missile defense system. Such means can – sometimes and to some extent – mitigate the damage that an enemy can do, and are an important part of a country’s defensive strategy. But even when they are successful, they do not deter or weaken the enemy. Indeed, they encourage him to improve his technology and his tactics and try again.

At the recent European Summit in Brussels, the heads of state and government did not make the call for “humanitarian pauses” conditional on the release of the Israeli and foreign hostages held in Gaza by Hamas.

  • Thirty-five French citizens were murdered by Hamas on October 7, and nine others are being held hostage (among approximately 230 hostages), but France wants to provide aid to those who are holding them?

Blinken to visit Israel on Friday, says ‘revitalized’ PA should govern Gaza after war  

T. Belman. No, no, never. Israel has every right to exercise sovereignty over the Gaza strip, sans Gazans. This is the price Gaza should pay for the Oct 7 atrocity. Its the right of conquest in a defensive war. We disengaged on condition but now were are taking it back.

We are paying for it in blood. It is immoral for the US to dictate to Israel what should happen with the land.

Stance by secretary of state marks first time idea publicly uttered by Biden administration, which has been floating it privately with regional partners since October 7

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that a “revitalized” Palestinian Authority should retake control of Gaza if Israel succeeds in its goal of toppling Hamas, but that regional partners and international agencies could play an interim role.

The comments by Blinken during testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee marked the first time the Biden administration has publicly declared its desire for the PA to return to the Gaza Strip, after privately raising the idea with regional partners since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.

Israel agrees to allow 100 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza each day — official  

Daily tally currently at less than half that goal, but Minister Dermer says there will be ‘big increase’ in 2-3 days; State Department says progress made in delivery of fuel

Israel has agreed to allow 100 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza each day following intensive diplomatic engagement by the Biden administration, a US official told The Times of Israel on Monday.

The agreement came hours after the UN agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) warned that the limited number of aid trucks entering Gaza were insufficient to meet the “unprecedented humanitarian needs” in the territory.

Iran’s Jihad against the West  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”
October 31, 2023,

The Iran-Hamas-US connection

*National Security advisor Jake Sullivan said in an October 10, 2023 White House press briefing: “Iran is complicit in this attack in a broad sense because they have provided training, they have provided capabilities, they have provided support, and they have had engagement and contact with Hamas over years and years. And all of that has played a role in contributing to what we have seen [on October 7].”

*Iran’s Ayatollahs, who have been courted and appeased by the West, are committed to bring the West – and especially “the Great American Satan” – to submission. They are the chief architects and enablers of the Israel-Hamas and Israel-Hezbollah wars, determined to escalate them into a regional pandemonium, which would undermine Western interests.

Leaked: Israeli plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza  

T. Belman. This is what I have been advocating for. It is the responsibility of the UN to resettle the refugees, not pen them in.  It should have been done in ’48. The only reason it wasn’t was because the UN and its enablers, the UK and the US, wanted Israel to choke on them.

The plan advocates the forced transfer of the population of the Gaza Strip to Sinai permanently, and calls for the international community to be leveraged to assist the move

News Desk, THE CRADLE OCT 29, 2023

Israeli culture magazine Mekovit published on 28 October a leaked document issued by Israel’s Ministry of Intelligence recommending the occupation of Gaza and total transfer of its 2.3 million inhabitants to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
