Qatar: Master Double-Dealer  

by Con Coughlin, GATESTONE  •  October 26, 2023

  • The hundreds of millions of dollars the Qataris have given Hamas during the past decade have been instrumental in helping the terrorist group to develop the infrastructure that enabled it to carry out its murderous assault on Israel in the first place.
  • Qatar would like the world to believe that it is acting as an honest broker with its efforts to secure the release of the Gaza captives. But the reality is that it deserves to be condemned by the West as a state that sponsors global terrorism, so long as it maintains its indefensible support for Hamas.

BY YEHEZKEL LAING

How the Democrats betrayed the Jews  

The sick thrill of antisemitism has a price

BY

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.

Palestinian terrorists have been murdering babies for a century  

Israel has surrendered land, but it hasn’t received any peace

– – Tuesday, October 17, 2023 

There is a saying that has become popular in recent years: When someone shows you who they are, believe them. The barbarity of Hamas and other Iranian proxies leaves no doubt about their murderous intentions. Islamists consider any Jewish social and political equality an “occupation.” History tells us as much.

On Oct. 7, Hamas and other Gaza-based terrorist groups launched hundreds of rockets and infiltrated the Jewish state. More than 1,400 Israelis were murdered, thousands wounded, and hundreds taken hostage and brought back to Gaza. At one music festival, more than 260 attendees were shot, beaten, and stabbed to death. Women were raped on the corpses of their friends.

Neutrality is complicity  

Reticence to condemn Hamas amounts to collusion against Israel. Hesitancy to express explicit support for Israel at this time, which also will mean unequivocally backing Israel in the many months ahead of tough fighting to crush Hamas, is tantamount to siding with the enemy.

 By  David M. Weinberg       10-22-2023 19:54

After the Nazi-era-like rape, mutilation, and pillaging of 1,400 Israeli Jews in one day by Hamas, two weeks ago, this is what Cambridge University had to say: Breathe easy, we’re “always available to provide emotional support.”

Professor Kamal Munir, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for University Community and Engagement of that venerated, celebrated, beacon of integrity and intellectual status – the University of Cambridge! – wrote to “all staff” that “Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent events in Israel, Gaza and the Middle East.”

Qatar’s War for Young American Minds  

The same country now protecting Hamas’s senior leaders has donated billions to American universities. Here’s why.

By Eli Lake October 24, 2023

Right now, senior leaders of Hamas, the perpetrators of the worst atrocity against Jews since the Holocaust, are huddled in Qatar. They’ve been there for years. But American foreign policy has turned a blind eye. Why? One reason might be that for the last 25 years, this small, energy-rich state has pumped billions into America to purchase influence and good favor.

The Qataris have spent their lavish fortune at American law firms, on lobbying contracts with former senior officials, and on junkets and partnerships with big media companies. The biggest recipients of Qatari largesse, though, have been major universities and think tanks.

Civilization is not a suicide pact  

When faced with a supremely evil foe, the most “just” thing you can do is win. Opinion.

  Oct 25, 2023, 6:53 AM (GMT+3)

(JNS) Predictably, world sympathy for Israel is ebbing already. The recent Big Lie that Israel bombed a Gaza hospital only accelerated this sadly familiar process, even as it proved how quick the media is to blame Israel first. Admittedly, the Gaza situation is messy in both moral and military terms, but liberal democrats worldwide must wake up and grow up. If the Constitution is not a suicide pact, civilization cannot be a suicide pact either.

Majority Aged 18-24 Say Hamas Massacre of Israeli Civilians ‘Justifed’  

T. Belman. China and Russia support the TSS because the 1.8 billion Muslims in the world support it. This is the same reason the US and the UN support it.

No one would shed a tear if Israel was destroyed except the US. But, given the poll of American youth, that is changing. Mike Leven explains how it came to be that Hamas is so powerful in the US attributing it to the Muslim Brotherhood. But they are not alone. Marxist ideology has taken over the universities of America. Add to that the Globalists and you have a perfect storm.

ACCEPTING THE TSS WILL NOT SAVE iSRAEL iT WILL HASTEN HER DEMISE

JEWS, BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.

By John Nolte, THE JEWISH VOICE Oct 24/23

Polling shows that a majority of those aged 18-24 believe that Hamas’s massacre of 1,200 Israeli civilians in Israel was “justified.”

Buy guns, America…

In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves: Lots and lots of guns.

This Harvard Caps Harris Poll was taken before the death toll increased to 1,400.

Israel livid after UN chief says Hamas attacks ‘did not occur in vacuum’  

Israeli envoy calls remarks from Guterres a justification for terror, as FM cancels meeting with him; Gantz accuses secretary-general of being a ‘terror apologist’

Israeli officials railed at UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Tuesday after he appeared to suggest the impetus for the Hamas terror group’s devastating October 7 attack on Israel was the Jewish state’s continued control of Palestinian territories.

“It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said at a UN Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas war, which erupted when the terror group ravaged Israeli border communities, killing some 1,400 people, the vast majority of them civilians.
