again allow the senseless murder of Jews and now people are on the globe they're standing up to the pure evil of Hamas here now with why supporting Israel at this time is so important Rabbi Shmuley Bolak, Rabbi Shmuley great to see you it's it is if you were silent you are accepting the unacceptable that was what my parents always taught me Ellie weel the world's most famous Holocaust Survivor famously said the opposite of love is not hatred the opposite of Love is indifference now let's take it a step further what about if people who don't even know the difference between right and wrong it's not that they're indifferent it's that they're clueless they have no moral compass we have American Congress women Rashida Talib Elon Omar who are openly siding with Hamas and even the National American media from The New York Times to CNN CBS NBC they won't even call Hamas terrorist now think about that this man over here who killed 3,000 Americans in incinerated them just 3 miles from here on 9/11 2001 was he a militant or a monster was he a soldier or a Savage was he a belligerent or Barbarian if you cannot call this man a terrorist then you have no sense of right and wrong so the language and look at the way they're saying 1,200 Jews were slaughtered in Holocaust level exension for a day on Saturday and Sunday and now they're saying that Israel is engaging in retribution you mean stopping terrorists from killing more Jews is a form of Revenge Jewish life is becoming so um worthless it's very painful you know you talked about uh congresswoman Rashida TB she's left us dumbfounded when she refused to condemn the murder of Jewish babies by Hamas I want you to listen to this I want you to when asked here she was silent but now she's saying her critics are the hateful ones saying quote I don't not support the tarine and killing of civilians whether in Israel or Palestine the fact that some have suggested otherwise as offensive and rooted and bigoted assumptions about my faith and ethnicity Rabbi how would he respond to Rashida Talib she hides behind her ethnicity but there's a universal morality that Muslims Jews and Christians and atheists and agnostics all live by and that is that life is precious and that murder is a sin Rashida Talib is an American Abomination she won an election seat I truly hope that her constituents will rise up and evict her because she is a disgrace to Islam which is a great world religion but she's a disgrace to American values if she really believes in Hamas let her go to Gaza right now and try to express an opinion against Hamas she God forbid with lose her life which nobody wants we want to keep her safe let her say one good word about an lgbtq Palestinian who have to flee to Israel rather than have their genitals cut off being decapitated if you cannot condemn the decapitation of 30 infants at a kibuts then evil has no meaning I'll tell you something else I love when people like Rashid Talin and Elon Omar speak about how religious these Muslim Hamas members are do mus do religious men take a half naked unconscious woman in her undergarments and parade her body around with such necrophiliac puran these are fiends the savagery it's it's very difficult to contain but to hear it in the halls of Congress is something that would make the founders of our nation who came to establish Liberty and freedom turn over in their graves I just want to point something out while you're here really briefly the Democrats have known that this is what these individuals were all about for years going this is in 2019 Rashida Talib invited a Hezbollah and Hamas supporter to a private family dinner celebrating her elevation to Congress a man who had said Israel had no right to exist and when she joined Congress she put that Post-It note on her map and that said Palestine and pointed to Israel and when you quote over and over again the language of front what what is the language from River uh from River to Sea see Palestine will be free of course murdering all its Jews but that means the eradication of Jews means genocide so we know what you've been talking about for years we know what you're about so don't act like that we're the bigots and that we don't understand what you represent and the hatred that you walk around with in your heart and soul every single day Rashida Talib wakes up in the morning and the hatred of the Jewish people courses through through her veins it animates her actions it causes the language that she uses and she cannot even suppress it and I'll tell you she doesn't even care about Palestinian lives that's where bothers me the most I care infinitely more about my Palestinian brothers and sisters than she does because Hamas is a curse to the Palestinians Hamas is a kleptocracy that has stolen they got more money per capita in Gaza than the entire Marshall Plan everyone in Europe look what Europe did after the destruction of the second world war and look at Gaza today Rashid to could not give a damn about Palestinian women who are beheaded when they have boyfriends 16 or 17 years old she'll never speak up for them because all she cares about is hatred of Jews she is animated by a and I'll tell you one final thing it's not just Rashid Taliban and Elon Omar you're talking about Tufts University Harvard University right three miles up from here Columbia University students are supporting Hamas and their mutilation of women I mean our universities have lost their minds we're living in a crazy time that boggles the imagination you are so right and also you have Democrats who have supported and um and defended uh these Squad members who have behaved so uh poorly and and President Biden who just gave Iran $6 billion and if you think that didn't lead to more hostages being taken oh it's more than that it's a billion dollars per hostage that's a lot of money lot money oil money tens of billions Rabbi great God bless you thank you God bless you

The Truth About Proportional Response: Unveiling the Reality Download YouTube 2023-10-18 (#003) < Previous Next > Douglas Murray is a British author and political commentator. He is the founder of the Center for Social Cohesion and serves as an Associate Editor at The Spectator. In this interview with the BBC, he was asked whether he believes that Israel's bombing of Gaza was a proportionate response to the events of October 10th. His response criticizes Britain's obsession with 'proportionality,' suggesting that if Israel were to be truly proportionate, they would have had to replicate the exact number of actions committed by Hamas on October 7th. He argued that the concept of proportionality in a conflict is often unrealistic, as it expects Israel to respond with precise measures matching the actions of its adversaries. #DouglasMurray #BBC #ProportionateResponse" Video Transcription: Coming soon

Father of 9-year-old hostage reveals what daughter told him after her release Download YouTube 2023-12-18 (219) < Previous Next > CNN's Clarissa Ward speaks with Thomas Hand, a father who believed his 9-year-old daughter Emily was killed by Hamas during the attacks of October 7th. Hand's daughter was found to be alive and was released as part of the exchange of hostages and prisoners during the truce between Israel and Hamas. Video Transcription: Nearly two months after being ripped from their homes and torn apart from their families, freed hostages are returning to completely different lives in Israel. Some of them are waiting for other family members to be released. Others are just learning for the first time that their loved ones were killed by Hamas. Clarissa Ward spoke with one father, Thomas hand. You might remember him. He initially thought that his daughter had been killed. He was actually grateful for it because of what he imagined Hamas might do to her. Then he found out that she was alive. And now nine year old Emily is home safe and she is slowly sharing the details of what happened to her after she was kidnaped by Hamas on October 7th. So the jets should be here in a couple of minutes like, oh, family and all of a sudden the door opened up and she just ran. It was beautiful. Just like in just like I had imagined it, you know, running together. I squeezed the probably squeezed too hard. It was a moment Thomas had thought would never come. Told his nine year old daughter Emily had been killed in the October 7th attacks, then that she was believed to be held hostage in Gaza, finally reunited with her family after 50 days in captivity free, but visibly haunted by her ordeal. The most shocking, disturbing part of the meeting was she was just wispering, I couldnt hear it I had to put my ear on her lips like this, closed and say, what did you say? I thought you said I thought you were kidnaped. She thought I was in captivity. And what has she told you? About what she's gone through? I thought she was in the tunnels, but she wasn't in the tunnels. They were actually fleeing from house to house. She didn't like it. People prefer referred to as Gaza. She says the "Kufsa" (in hebrew) , the box. So you have to say, like, how long were you in the box? The "Kupsa"? She said, a year. And apart from the whispering, that was like a punch in the guts. There's that one photograph right after your reunion and you're holding her. And there is this sort of seriousness to her facial expression. Yeah, she's. She's almost staring, isn't she? She a disconnect with everything going on around her. Has she cried? oh yehh last night she cried until her face was red and blotchy. She couldn't stop. She. She didn't want any comfort. I think. I guess she's forgotten how to be comforted. I just had to wait until she came out of it by herself. And she knows how to do that. She's a very determined little girl, very strong. I knew that her spirit would get her through it. There have been glimpses of the old Emily happily walking the family dog, Jauncey, but many moments of pain, like when Thomas was forced to break the news to her that his ex-wife Nakis, had been killed. Does Emily understand what happened on October 7th? Yeah. Yeah, unfortunately she does. And how do you tell her? You know, your second mom is dead, killed, shot. When we got back to the hospital after psychiatrist. You know what? Weather. What should I do? What should I do? She said you've just got to tell her straight. The best way. Okay? Yeah, that was. That was very hard, because we told her and, you know, her little eyes closed up and she just went to the shop shopping and take a breath. Terrible thing to tell, a child. And as they recommend that, you have to close the book. It sounds cruel, but you have to stop that hope. So you you you've got to stop that. It has to be. I know. Oh, kisses. That. And so. What is the next step now? How long do you stay here? How do you start a new life? The future is obviously to get Emily back to health. And we will do that along the way. But the next thing is, along the way is that we have to get all the children. Obviously, all the women, all the men, all the hostages have to come back. They have to be brought back. Now, Jake, you heard Thomas talking about getting Emily back to health. Now, she is in good physical condition. There's no indication that she was physically abused in any way. She lost a lot of weight. She was very, very pale. She said that they didn't have enough to eat. But obviously there is the psychological component here. The very fact that she was only able to whisper because she's so frightened of raising her voice, he said that the only word she appeared to learn in Arabic was the word for be Quiet, which gives you an indication of the fear that she was living through. He also talked about how she has very bad head lice, but all things considered, she is in reasonably good health physically. And one other important thing, when he talks about bringing the hostages back, he's very focused at the moment on the mother of Emily's very good friend, Kayla. This is the girl he had gone to the play date with. She had gone to the playdate was spend the night with was kidnaped with, was held with along with Heller's mother, Reya Rotem, who acted like a second mother to her and then inexplicably at the last minute, two days before they were due to be released, Raya was separated from Emily and Kayla. You can imagine Kayla was released with Emily and the anguish that she is going through now, being separated from her mother. And and this is a very important point for Tom. As he says, going forward, we need to keep fighting for all the hostages, but particularly for Raya, and try to get to the bottom of why it was that she was separated from her daughter just ahead of their release.

Antisemitism defined: Why opposing the Jewish people's right to self-determination is antisemitic 17 March 2024 By: WJC The seventh example of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Definition of Antisemitism states that “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” is an example of antisemitism. As the IHRA definition of antisemitism states, criticism of Israel is not in and of itself antisemitic. But much of contemporary anti-Zionism, or the delegitimization of Israel and its supporters, draws on and perpetuates antisemitic tropes. Why “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” It often demonizes Israel and treats the Jewish people like no other group Denying the Jewish people the right to self-determination often leads to demonization of Israel and dubs it a unique evil. Detractors of Israel often attempt to magnify any mistake Israel makes, ignores context of Israeli actions and compares the belief in a Jewish homeland to the world’s worst bigotries, including Nazism. This isn’t only an attempt to compare contemporary Israeli policy to Nazi Germany, but also to minimize the Holocaust, and use the Jewish suffering during the Holocaust as a cudgel against the Jewish people. The late Professor Robert S. Wistrich, former head of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, explained , “if Zionists are 'Nazis' and if [Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon] really is Hitler, then it becomes a moral obligation to wage war against Israel.” Such comparisons are gross trivializations of the evils of the actual Nazis during the Shoah and thus incorrect. Any alleged wrongdoings on Israel’s part cannot be compared to Nazi crimes during the Holocaust. The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is a complex geopolitical one, whereas the Holocaust was the attempt to systematically annihilate Jewry. Despite Israeli operations in Gaza due to Hamas and other terrorist groups firing rocket fire into Israel the Palestinian population has grown by all metrics, and is projected to continue doing so. Worldwide Jewish demographics on the other hand are yet to recover and reach the population size they had prior to the Holocaust, an illustration of not only the horrors of the Holocaust, but also an explanation to why such comparisons between the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Holocaust are not only preposterous, but diminish the pain of those who have suffered during the conflict. Comparing Israeli policy towards Palestinians with Nazi policy regarding Jews is an example of Holocaust inversion, where reality is inverted (the Israelis are cast as the "new" Nazis and the Palestinians as the "new" Jews), and an inversion of morality (the Holocaust is presented as a moral lesson for, or even a moral indictment of, "the Jews"). Holocaust Inversion acts as a force against identifying the changing nature of contemporary antisemitism and creating a cohesive coalition against it. The motivations of those who engage in Holocaust inversion are manyfold. Some seek to achieve the moral delegitimization of Israel through demonization. Some use it as a means with which to cover up for Nazi crimes during the Holocaust and expunge guilt by arguing that they were and are a common phenomenon and are now being perpetrated by many Israelis and Jews themselves. Other detractors of the Jewish State’s existence criticize the policies of the Israeli government, by assigning blame to “Zionists,” intending to use the word to demonize Jews and other supporters of Israel, and tacitly not recognize the State of Israel. Similar to those who propagate classical antisemitism, they use euphemism, such as globalists and Marxists, to denigrate Jews in order to attempt to give themselves plausible deniability. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. King explained so succinctly, "When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You're talking antisemitism.” Furthermore, individuals also use age-old antisemitic conspiracy myths to demonize Israel including invoking dual loyalty, allegations that Jews and Israel control economies and politicians, and that Jews and Israel are the world’s suffering, including the coronavirus pandemic. Professor Wistrich, posited, “the calls to dismantle the Jewish state, whether they come from Muslims, the Left, or the radical Right, increasingly rely on an antisemitic stereotypization of classic themes, such as the manipulative 'Jewish lobby,' the Jewish 'world conspiracy,' and Jewish/Israeli "warmongers.” Other individuals, while not invoking antisemitic conspiracy myths exclude those who believe in Jewish self-determination from political movements, even ones having little or nothing to do with Israel and the Middle East. They do so claiming that Zionists are comparable to racists. By extension they exclude the vast majority of Jews, as the overwhelming majority support the creation of a nation state for the Jewish people. This is only a natural next step of the decision by too many to compare Zionist to Nazis. It denies that Jews have a right to security The Jewish people have a right to defend themselves, just like any other people, especially in light of their history of persecution. Israel ensures that Jews have control over their future and remain safe, despite of the tremendous uncertainties in the world. The Holocaust was only the latest genocide Jews faced. To say that Jews don’t have the right to defend themselves is antisemitic within itself. No other group of people with a country is told that their country doesn’t have a right to exist. Perhaps one could argue that the creation of a Jewish State in the British Mandate of Palestine would not be a good idea prior to the Partition Plan and the creation of the State of Israel. but once you are advocating for the destruction of Israel, it houses a majority of the Jewish people around the world, and the end of it will inevitably mean harm to Jewish citizens, it is antisemitic. It often denies that Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel Given that Jews are indigenous people to the land of Israel, and indigenous people have the right to self-determination on their ancestral homeland, denying an indigenous right is inherently discriminatory to that group of people. In this case of Israel and the Jews, it would be antisemitic. Detractors often deny the history of the Jewish people and their connection to the land of Israel, rejecting the importance of the land of Israel to religious and secular Jews throughout history and the aspirations to return to their ancient homeland. Human rights lawyer David Matas wrote , “One form of antisemitism denies access of Jews to goods and services because they are Jewish. Another form of antisemitism denies the right of the Jewish people to exist as a people because they are Jewish.” This isn’t only a blatant double standard as many countries are nation states, including France, Egypt, Germany, and Japan, but implies that the State of Israel is an imperialist, colonialist state, “born in sin.” This doesn’t only minimize Jewish history as Zionism is about a people’s return to their ancient homeland after years of exile and persecution, but also tokenizes Jews by dividing them into, ‘Good Jews’ (the small percentage who are anti-Zionist) and ‘Bad Jews’ (the vast majority who believe in the Jewish right to self-determination and Israel’s right to exist). This effectively marginalizes Jews and turns them into pariahs, by forcing them to publicly disavow the State of Israel or be cast as racists and have a target on their back simply for their identification with their peoplehood. Those who don’t believe that the Jewish people have a right to self-determination often defend themselves from accusations of antisemitism by arguing that those who support Israel (Jews) are silencing criticism of Israel by calling them antisemitic. Such claims are at best conspiratorial and at worst antisemitic, as it plays on conspiracy myths of Jewish power. Embedded in this claim, is that Jews aren’t actually concerned about antisemitism and their security, but rather are advancing their political agenda, or are simply mistaken to what constitutes antisemitism, an argument that many would likely not make for any other minority group. Dina Porat, head of the Institute for Study of Antisemitism and Racism at Tel-Aviv University, argues “antisemitism is involved when the belief is articulated that of all the peoples on the globe (including the Palestinians), only the Jews should not have the right to self-determination in a land of their own.” This point is particularly interesting as there are several other land disputes across the globe, but there are few people arguing that any countries involved in other land disputes should cease to exist. What isn’t antisemitism: It isn’t antisemitic to criticize specific Israeli policies. As previously mentioned, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism states that criticism of Israel is not in and of itself antisemitic, but rather “criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.” Dr. Deborah Lipstadt, the Biden administration’s State Department’s special envoy to combat and monitor antisemitism, notes that the best example of that is found at “cafes in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem,” but delegitimizing Israel and denying that Israel does not have a right to exist is itself antisemitic. Rather it is essential for those criticizing Israeli policy to do so without perpetrating antisemitic conspiracy myths, demonizing the Jewish people, and questioning Israel’s right to exist in peace. Doing so, isn’t only crucial to minimizing antisemitism, but having important discussions about Israeli policy. The Jewish people’s connection to the land of Israel: The roots of the Jewish connection to the land of Israel is over 3,000-years long and, include a 1,000 years of a rich and thriving civilization. Despite being exiled to Babylonia, Jews eventually returned seventy years later. This return was a precursor to the ideals and ambitions of the modern-day Zionist movement. Jewish civilization in ancient Israel existed for approximately 400 years until Jews were exiled again by the Romans. This exile would last approximately 2,000 years. Despite the exile, Israel has remained the center of Jewish practice with biblical Jewish festivals based on the agricultural seasons in the Land of Israel. The foundation of Jewish practice, such as the Mishnah - the bases of Jewish law - was compiled in Israel. The longing of returning to the land is a key component of cultural and national identity with Jews praying three times to return to the land, saying grace after meals, among other actions. Modern Zionism formally took root in the late 19th century, as Jews throughout the world faced growing antisemitism. In a watershed moment, French army captain Alfred Dreyfus was wrongfully sentenced to life imprisonment for allegedly selling military secrets to the Germans. His trial and the subsequent events, which were felt throughout Europe and had a lasting impact on French politics, are often referred to as the “Dreyfus Affair .” While the Jewish people have always lived in the land of Israel, by the First Zionist Congress in 1897, Jews had already been returning to the then-Ottoman-ruled territory to escape resurgences of antisemitism in Europe and to fulfill the dream of returning to their ancient homeland. Understanding Antisemitism: Antisemitism is a complex, multifaceted hatred. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism is considered the gold standard in understanding antisemitism and has been used by governments and institutions to identify and monitor the phenomenon. An internationally accepted definition is also useful in assisting authorities to determine whether an incident is antisemitic or not. The IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism states: “Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.” The definition includes a list of eleven reference examples, including, most relevantly: Applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation. Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis. Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis. But beyond the definition, antisemitism is a shapeshifting hatred that has taken many forms throughout history. As Bret Stephens of the New York Times, said “Long before Jews were hated for supposedly racial reasons, we were hated for religious reasons. And long after many people stopped hating Jews for racial reasons, they hated us for other reasons. On the nationalist far right, Jews are often hated for being too international. On the internationalists far left, Jews are often hated for being too national.” In short, hatred of the Jewish people is shape-shifting phenomenon, which has often blended into politics in order to be an acceptable form of bigotry. <- Previous Read full article Next -> More Insights 7 Ways Hamas Exploits Palestinian Civilians in Gaza Antisemitism defined: Why opposing the Jewish people's right to self-determination is antisemitic What You Need to Know About Israel’s Humanitarian Aid To Gaza Fatah responds to Hamas criticism of new formation of PA government ‘without consulting Hamas’ Surprise jump in Gazan support for 2-state solution, while still in favor of Oct 7 attack Hamas' Most Horrific Weapon of War: 5 Takeaways from UN Report on Sexual Violence Against Israelis Latest Video Clips The History of Israel This Muslim Israeli Woman Is the Future of the Middle East Natasha Hausdorff responds to the content of the House of Commons Gaza Debate.

Hamas's Tactics October 7th Hamas In a Nutshell Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States and the European Union, primarily due to its tactics in the conflict with Israel. These tactics include suicide bombings targeting Israeli civilians, indiscriminate rocket attacks, kidnappings and executions of Israeli soldiers and civilians, use of civilian areas in Gaza as shields for military operations, and tunnel warfare for smuggling and attacks. Additionally, Hamas has engaged in cyber warfare and espionage against Israeli targets. This designation is based on the view that these tactics violate international laws and norms, particularly regarding the protection of civilians, and has significant implications for Hamas's international relations, financial transactions, and global perception, influencing the dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and international diplomatic efforts. References Related Videos The full story Full Story The Full Story Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States and the European Union. This designation is primarily due to the tactics employed by Hamas in its conflict with Israel. Suicide Bombings: One of the most notorious tactics used by Hamas has been suicide bombings. These attacks, often targeting Israeli civilian areas such as buses, cafes, and markets, have resulted in numerous casualties and have been a hallmark of Hamas's violent resistance strategy. Rocket Attacks: Hamas has frequently used rocket fire into Israeli territory. These rockets, varying in range and payload, have been launched from the Gaza Strip into various parts of Israel, causing civilian casualties and property damage. The indiscriminate nature of these rocket attacks, often aimed at civilian-populated areas, is a significant factor in the terrorist designation. Kidnappings and Executions: Hamas has been involved in the kidnapping and sometimes execution of Israeli soldiers and civilians. These acts are used as leverage in negotiations or to fulfill specific militant objectives. Use of Civilian Shields: Hamas has been accused of using civilian areas and populations in Gaza as shields for its military operations. The placement of rocket launchers and other military assets in densely populated areas has been a point of international concern, as it leads to civilian casualties during retaliatory strikes by Israel. During the 2023 Israel-Hamas war, there were reports and accusations that Hamas had strategically placed portions of its military tunnel system and command network beneath civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, mosques, and residential buildings. This included the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, which have become a de facto headquarters for Hamas leaders. Tunnel Warfare: Hamas has developed an extensive network of tunnels in the Gaza Strip. These tunnels are used for smuggling weapons, launching attacks, and infiltrating Israeli territory. The use of these tunnels for militant purposes contributes to its terrorist designation. Cyber Attacks and Espionage: In recent years, Hamas has expanded its tactics to include cyber warfare, targeting Israeli digital infrastructure and conducting espionage operations. The designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization is based on these tactics, which are seen as violating international laws and norms regarding armed conflict, particularly those related to the protection of civilians. The terrorist designation has significant implications for Hamas, affecting its international relations, financial transactions, and overall global perception. It also impacts the broader dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, influencing international diplomatic and peace efforts. References References What Is Hamas?
