Nukhba jihadists must face charges for their sexual violence crimes

Sharon Zaghagi Pinhas reminds everyone that the sexual violence committed by Hamas/Nukhba jihadists in Gaza during October 7, 2023 cannot be forgotten:

One central question has not been addressed: whether the Nukhba terrorists will be prosecuted for the sex crimes committed on October 7 and in captivity. Despite repeated attempts around the world to silence and deny them, there is no doubt: grave sex crimes were committed strategically, systematically and on a large scale throughout the attack and in captivity. Many of the female and male victims were murdered, whether during the attack or afterward, and many of the crimes were committed deliberately in full view of others in order to sow terror. All publicly accessible sources clearly indicate that the Nukhba terrorists were driven by an extremist ideology rooted in an explicit intent to commit genocide and in the total denial of the humanity of Israel's population.

Since October 7, I have taken part, together with my colleagues in the Dinah Project at the Rackman Center at Bar-Ilan University, in a difficult and exhausting struggle in which the State of Israel and many civil society organizations joined forces to bring recognition and justice for the female and male victims. [...]

After all this, it is inconceivable that the indictments against the Nukhba terrorists will not include charges over sex crimes. Yet for now, all official bodies are silent whenever the question of filing indictments over the sex crimes is raised.

This silence is deeply troubling.

The sex crimes were committed as part of a mass assault by Nukhba terrorists, aimed at dehumanization and genocide. The terrorists operated inside an inconceivable "vacuum" in which everything was "permitted," murder, massacre and sex crimes alike.

Legally, in such a case, all the terrorists who chose to take part in the mass assault can be held jointly responsible for all the crimes committed during the attack, including the sex crimes, even if they did not physically commit them themselves.

And all those guilty must definitely must be held responsible, and severely punished for their repulsive crimes.

Anyway, it's good to inform that the Knesset approved a law to prosecute the monsters:

The Knesset plenum approved the second and third readings of the bill to prosecute the perpetrators of the October 7 massacre on Monday evening.

The law, which passed with a rare consensus of 93 supporters, establishes the legal infrastructure to try Hamas terrorists and their accomplices for the most heinous crimes committed during the murderous attack. The legislation sets the maximum penalty at death.

Furthermore, a dramatic reservation proposed by MKs Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionist Party) and Yulia Malinovsky (Yisrael Beytenu) was approved, stipulating that terrorists tried under this framework will never be released from prison, even as part of future prisoner exchange deals.

Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin welcomed the approval, stating, "This law ensures that the terrorists and their accomplices will stand trial and face justice, including the imposition of death sentences. From the depths of the horrific massacre we have risen - for the memory of the murdered, for their families, for those wounded in body and soul, for those who were taken hostage, and for the entire nation - to fulfill our supreme moral obligation: to bring the perpetrators of this ghastly slaughter to justice. I thank Constitution Committee chairman MK Simcha Rothman, MK Yulia Malinovsky, and all those involved in the vital work of advancing this legislation."

The news about the investigation into the Hamas' sexual violence, interestingly enough, has been covered by CNN for starters, although not without certain PC dictations in descriptions of the monsters:

Hamas militants and their allies raped, assaulted and sexually tortured their victims during and after the October 7, 2023 terror attack on southern Israel “to maximize pain and suffering,” a landmark new report has concluded.

Shared first with CNN, the report presents the most comprehensive body of evidence yet of sexual and gender-based violence against women, men and children, which it describes as “systematic, widespread, and integral to” the assault.

“The most important finding is the fact that the sexual violence on October 7 and against hostages in captivity has been a calculated strategy by Hamas,” lead author and human rights expert Cochav Elkayam-Levy told CNN.

Notice how they stick solidly with the PC term "militants" rather than "terrorists". It shouldn't have to take a genius to make clear that kind of restriction is unacceptable.

The news was also covered by the Toronto Globe and Mail, i24news, the Jerusalem Post, and here's more from them, along with an op-ed that makes clear the racist denialism must end:

With the release of this irrefutable proof, let this be the final day of October 7 denialism. For months, the world has watched as high-profile figures used their massive platforms to cast doubt on the suffering of Israeli women. Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters has been among the most vocal, publicly claiming there is “no evidence” of Hamas rapes and dismissing the testimonies of survivors and first responders as “filthy, disgusting lies.”

Similarly, activists like Samantha Pearson, a former director of a Canadian sexual assault center, and Canadian politician Sarah Jama signed a letter dismissing reports of sexual violence as “unverified accusations.”

Even entertainment industry figures, such as Susan Sarandon, have contributed to the skepticism by attempting to “contextualize” the events in ways that effectively minimize the crimes. When global feminist organizations and UN bodies waited months to even acknowledge these atrocities, they provided a shield for Hamas and signaled worldwide that the slogan “Believe Women” has a geographic and political limit.

This report removes that shield once and for all. It demands that the world stop asking for “more evidence” when the archives are already overflowing with it.

There is, however, a profound note of hope within these harrowing pages. The report’s extensive legal analysis provides a clear evidentiary basis for the investigation and prosecution of these acts as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocidal acts under international law.

Waters is one of the most stunningly repugnant figures in the entertainment industry, and no sane person should buy his music albums. And as for Sarandon, it's about time she retired from acting. And anybody who's going to deny serious crimes cannot work at a center for treating rape victims.

Update: here's more from Breitbart.

2 failed premiers who precipitated October 7, 2023 join forces again

Daniel Greenfield addresses the reteaming of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, who both have some responsibilities to shoulder for bringing about October 7, 2023, which most local leftist press outlets won't clearly admit:

The Israeli Left, which controls the media, judiciary and the cultural opinion shapers in that country, obsessively hates Netanyahu, not because of anything the generally mild-mannered and moderate prime minister has actually done (limited market reforms, refusing to make completely excessive commitments when pursuing dead end negotiations with terrorists) but because he symbolizes their inability to take and retain power.

That’s something the Left did to itself by successively alienating every immigrant group, Holocaust survivors, Middle Eastern Jewish refugees, Russian Jews, with their arrogant abuses.

The Israeli Left is unable to win elections outright and Clinton and Epstein pal Ehud Barak remains the last remnant of a time when the Left could win an election (with a lot of help from Bill Clinton.)

Israelis (outside Tel Aviv and a few of the ritzy suburbs) hate the Left so much that it can only hope to win through a coalition of new fake ‘third way’ parties, along with the usual Muslim Brotherhood parties.

The fake ‘third way’ parties usually involve a retired celebrity general, in this case Yashar with Gadi Eisenkot, who stand for absolutely nothing except making the most of their 15 minutes, and some fake reformist third party promising to use ‘common sense’ to fix things which actually carrying out the left’s program.

In this case, it’s a comeback coalition for political losers Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett. Lapid was a vapid nepo baby celebrity TV show host and Bennett, formerly the post-Netanyahu hope on the right, sold out to careerism so badly that he previously allied with Lapid in an alternating prime ministership that turned over gas fields to Hezbollah and allowed Hamas terrorists disguised as ‘workers’ to roam Israel.

The duo get much of the actual credit for Oct 7 though the media would never dare suggest such a thing since Bennett and Lapid are the only real hope of the Left reclaiming power.

Bennett has shed his ‘right wing’ credentials and is now running as a Silicon Valley style technocrat.

Which was actually rather obvious for years now. Worst, what if the twosome actually do end up winning the election? If they do, it'll be awful.

IDF worked to erase footage from October 7, 2023

A most horrific discovery was made that the same outfit that enabled sexual discrimination against female soldiers over petty issues and ignored warnings of a female observer also worked to erase footage of investigations into the October 7, 2023 massacre:

A Channel 12 report has revealed new details about the military mechanism that operated on the ground after October 7th to gain exclusive control over documentation from the massacre.

The special unit was established in 2020 as a lesson from previous operations in the Gaza Strip, and is headed by Lieutenant Colonel N. On October 7th, 2023, the unit's soldiers, all former members of elite units who received fictitious officer ranks in order to move freely, were deployed to the mission defined as "classified and complex."

The unit's mission was clear: collect every bit of footage from the massacre before anyone else lays their hands on it. The teams worked through several different means. The soldiers broke into kibbutz offices and homes to seize DVR machines from closed-circuit television systems. In the Gaza envelope communities and the Nova Festival site, the soldiers collected dozens of memory cards from dashcams. Additionally, they collected hundreds of mobile phones, belonging to both Nukhba terrorists and Israeli citizens, both the victims and the survivors. The soldiers carried military iPhones without SIM cards and uploaded the materials to an internal IDF Telegram in real-time.

Sources in the unit recounted: "We promised a guy from Be'eri that we would not delete anything and that we'd return everything, and that didn't happen. Everything was deleted. They instructed us not to do anything, and only then to return the devices. We deleted the content from some of the phones we returned, including videos and recordings of conversations between people from the Gaza envelope and the party."

According to the sources, the orders came directly from the Operations Directorate, and the orders were clear: "Collect everything and don't leave anything."

While the soldiers collected materials under fire, an "editing operations room" was opened on a floor that was rented out in a Tel Aviv office building. In the operations room, professional video editors dealt with the materials. Some of the materials were compiled into the video shown to the international audience to prove the scope of the atrocities.

According to the soldiers, a significant amount of the raw footage "disappeared" into the military system and never reached the families or civilian investigation teams.

The IDF did not comment on the report.

It shouldn't have to be told this is a most repulsive discovery, no matter how unshocking it may be to some at this point. No doubt, some people are wondering if some IDF officials were collaborators who enabled the horror to occur. And collaborators/infiltrators are a problem everywhere. What the military officials who worked to erase vital information did is offensive to the families of the victims along with the victims themselves. It's also stunning how desensitized to violence some people can be, that they'd even practically engage in cover up cliches.

Zohran Mamdani's wife is just as bad as he is

It's been reported that the wife of New York City's first Muslim mayor was involved in anti-Israeli activities, among other things just as repugnant as what he upholds:

Despite New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s repeated attempts to shield his wife from public scrutiny by labeling her a “private person,” a series of bombshell revelations has exposed first lady Rama Duwaji as being involved in a radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) campaign.

Duwaji, a professional illustrator, is under fire for providing the creative backdrop for the DSA’s “Palestine on the Ballot” initiative — a project that used Duwaji’s animations to mobilize voters against candidates backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and promote legislation targeting Jewish charities.

The campaign also highlighted the “Not on Our Dime Act,” a controversial bill originally sponsored by Mamdani during his time in the New York State Assembly, which would target certain nonprofits accused of supporting Israeli settlements.

Critics argue Duwaji’s “behind-the-scenes” role is a facade.

“Does anybody believe she’s a private citizen?” asked Dov Hikind, founder of Americans Against Antisemitism. Hikind characterized the first lady as even more radical than the mayor, calling the couple “two peas in a pod” united by “vile hatred” for Israel.

The DSA collaboration is only the latest in a mounting pile of evidence regarding Duwaji’s radical leanings. Reports have surfaced showing that she used her social media accounts to endorse extreme, anti-Semitic rhetoric, including content that framed terrorist violence in supportive terms.

Duwaji reportedly “liked” Instagram posts on the day of the Hamas massacre that featured live-streamed footage of terrorists breaching the Gaza border and commandeering Israel Defense Forces vehicles. One post she approved of hailed the attack as “breaking the walls of apartheid.”

More recently, Duwaji liked a post that dismissed the documented mass rapes of Israeli women during the October 7 attacks as a “mass hoax” fabricated by the media.

Duwaji has also been credited with providing lead graphics for an essay by Susan Abulhawa, an activist who has described Jewish people as “vampires,” “demons,” and “rootless ghouls.”

The revelation of Duwaji’s involvement with the DSA belies Mayor Mamdani’s efforts to present a more moderate front. While Mamdani’s office issued a standard statement condemning Hamas as a terrorist organization, his wife’s digital trail suggests a much darker affinity for the “resistance” that her husband publicly critiques.

No doubt, she tries to do a lot of the stuff he might hold his cards closer to his chest about. Of course, when Mamdani himself talks about "globalizing the intifada", that's very telling too. Just another example of how NYC's become hopeless these days.

Rescued hostage says he was told to convert to Islam for food

Rom Braslavski, one of the freed hostages, says the Hamas captors told him to convert to Islam if he wanted food:

According to her son's testimony, which she revealed, Tami said Rom's captors abused him psychologically, told him that Iran bombed Israel, that his parents weren't at the protests in the square, and chose to show him specifically only the Kaplan protests, while lying to him that his parents forgot about him.

Not only that, his mother said his captors tried to convince him to fast during Ramadan or read chapters from the Quran and convert to Islam, in exchange for food and improved conditions, but he refused. As evidence of the mental crisis he experienced as a result of the psychological manipulations his captors operated on him, the mother recounts, "And now when he returned, he keeps saying all the time 'I'm Jewish.'"

"I didn't understand why he keeps saying 'I'm Jewish,' 'I'm a strong Jew.' It was so important to him to preserve his Jewish identity because they asked him to convert to Islam and tempted him, if you fast in Ramadan we'll give you food, soap, all kinds of things that for us are banal, but Rom didn't break, and however he came he put on tefillin, we brought him the tefillin to the hospital and he put them on."

Here's more info about this abominable case:

His captors weaponized food, turning starvation into a weapon to break his faith. “They asked him to convert to Islam and tempted him — if you fast during Ramadan we’ll give you food, soap, all kinds of things that for us are banal — but Rom didn’t break,” Tami said, adding that guards dangled extra rations and hygiene items if he would read from the Quran.

It's remarkable he held firm. But will this teach any left-wing Israelis why the Religion of Peace is a bad thing? Who knows? That's another serious issue that has to be raised, whether anybody in Israel is going to learn from this.

A vital point made about the need to disarm Hamas

Donald Trump made a vital point that the Hamas must surrender and disarm:

US President Donald Trump addressed the next phases of the Gaza peace plan, which began with a ceasefire and the return of all of the living hostages who remained in captivity yesterday.

Speaking to the media today (Tuesday), President Trump stated that "they will disarm because they said they are going to disarm. And if they don't disarm, we will disarm them."

"They know I'm not playing games," he added of Hamas.

Addressing the release of the hostages, he stated: "We did something monumental - we got the hostages back. That was the first thing we had to do, above all else, get the hostages back. They misrepresented, because we were told that they had 26-24 of dead hostages, if we can use those terms. It seems they don't have that, because we're talking about a much lesser number. That's a very tough subject. I want them back."

Even the bodies of dead victims must be returned. Last time I looked, only 4 had been. That's going to have to be the next serious step taken.

Update: here's also an important article where one of the hostages recalls how he was tortured by the jihadists when he was in their clutches:

Avi Ohana, the father of Yosef Haim Ohana, who was released from Hamas captivity, shared his emotions with the Moreshet channel, following his son’s return and spoke about the spiritual strength that sustained the family throughout the past two years.

“I am walking on cloud nine, in the sky,” he said emotionally. “For two years I could not sleep because of the pain, and now I cannot sleep because of the joy. This miracle is something beyond nature. As the days go by, I realize how much greater it is. The verse from Psalms is being fulfilled: ‘Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.’”

According to Ohana, after the signing of the latest deal, his son was transferred - together with about seven other hostages - to a deep, narrow pit, where they were held under extremely harsh conditions.

“They couldn’t sit, only stand and lean against the wall. There was no oxygen. A person could die just from that alone, God forbid. It was literally, ‘And Joseph was brought down to Egypt’ - Joseph in the pit,” he said.

“The miracle was tremendous,” he added. “He told me many things we didn’t know. After the deal was signed, we thought they were probably being taken out of the tunnels and organized for release. I asked him, ‘Was it really like that?’ He said, ‘Dad, after the deal was signed, they put me with six other guys and took us down the stairs - down, down, down. We thought we were going to another tunnel.’ But they ended up in a pit so small that seven men could barely stand, unable to sit, leaning against the wall. The lack of oxygen alone could have killed them.”

Ohana emphasized that what kept his son alive was faith and the thought of family. “Only one thing - family. The thought of dad, mom, brothers, friends. That’s what gave him strength.”

He's definitely lucky to have survived. And if his captors could be wiped out, they'll deserve to be sent to hell for what they did to him, period.

All the last living hostages have been freed from captivity

After nearly 750 days, the last hostages held by Hamas have been freed from captivity, but the downside is that it's not without a price. Here's more:

As the fragile ceasefire in Gaza holds, Israel anticipates the release of all remaining Israeli hostages, including its final 20 living hostages, from Hamas captivity Monday morning, under the first phase of a historic U.S.-brokered peace plan spearheaded by President Donald Trump.

The initial batch of seven were handed over early this morning, and the full transfer expected by noon local time, marking an emotional culmination after more than two years of anguish since the October 7, 2023, terror attacks that claimed 1,200 Israeli lives and saw 251 people abducted as hostages. In exchange, Israel will free approximately 2,000 Palestinian terrorist prisoners, including 250 serving long sentences and 1,700 detained during the conflict.

This is obviously the sad part, no matter how relieving it is the last hostages were freed. And it only enforces the vital query of if the Israeli and USA governments are going to do everything possible to continue trying to get the Hamas out of Gaza, and in addition, it has to be made clear Israelis cannot be forbidden to walk upon the terrain of Gaza any longer. That's another something that must be dealt with in the future, recalling how there were pseudo-conservatives in the USA in the past 2 decades who were guilty of this dhimmitude defeatism that led to the situation, and that's something they must take accountability for.

Update: here's more on the occasion of the hostages thankfully being freed, as Donald Trump arrived to speak at the Knesset.

National memorial for October 7, 2023

Today there's been a national memorial held for victims of October 7, 2023 at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park:

Israel’s national memorial event marking two years since Hamas’s brutal October 7, 2023, onslaught — in which over 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage — has begun in Tel Aviv, drawing some 30,000 attendees.

The ceremony, organized by Kumu (“Rise Up”), a movement founded by families of victims, hostages, and survivors of the attack, is being held at Yarkon Park, Tel Aviv’s largest outdoor venue.

Speakers include former hostage Omer Shem Tov and Anat Angrest, mother of hostage Matan Angrest, alongside performances by Israeli artists Yuval Rafael, Idan Amedi, and more.

Unlike last year, the Israeli government chose not to hold an official state memorial, instead designating a national day of remembrance on the day after Simchat Torah — the Hebrew anniversary of the massacre — on the 24th of Tishrei, which this year, falls on October 16. As a result, Kumu’s event has become the country’s main memorial ceremony for the October 7 attacks.

Here's more on Sky News, and on Israel National News. This was an utter disaster that will take years to recuperate from.

Trump makes vital point at UN

In his address to the insufferable UN, president Donald Trump made the following clear:

US President Donald Trump warned against unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state during his address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, saying it would amount to rewarding Hamas for its atrocities while hostages remain in captivity. “This would be a reward for these horrible atrocities, including October 7th, even while they refuse to release the hostages or accept a ceasefire,” Trump said.

The President stressed the urgency of halting the conflict in Gaza. “We have got to come together, and we will come together. We have to stop the war in Gaza immediately. We have to get it done. We have to negotiate peace,” he declared.

Trump sharply criticized Hamas for rejecting ceasefire proposals and for continuing to hold hostages. “Instead of giving in to Hamas ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with one message: release the hostages now,” he said, emphasizing that the remaining captives must be returned together and without delay. He also mentioned the bodies of 38 victims, saying their families deserve their return “very quickly and very badly, as though they were alive.”

He's right that those countries who said they'd recognize a "palestinian state" without any historical proof that a Muslim/Arab state of that sort ever existed have done a horrible thing that only continues to embolden Israel's enemies. Senator John Fetterman also made this point:

Hamas views the move by Western nations to recognize a Palestinian state as a "reward," Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., told Newsmax Tuesday.

France recognized Palestinian statehood on Monday at the start of a high-profile meeting at the United Nations aimed at galvanizing support for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict. Andorra, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, and Monaco also announced or confirmed their recognition of a Palestinian state — a day after the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Portugal did.

"Yes, it's a reward, but it also creates a narrative. And I even hear what Hamas is saying, like, This is part of the sacrifice, and now it's all made it all worth it," Fetterman said during an appearance on "The Record With Greta Van Susteren.”

The Pennsylvania senator is unique among his Democrat colleagues in that he supports Israel's actions.

"I support what they continue to do because I don't understand why in the world these countries now are looking to recognize Palestine. Why aren't they demanding — before we do anything — to release all those hostages?" he added.

All this is why sanctions have been imposed upon the PLO along with Hamas in the USA, and even in Israel, there's considerations to that effect. The European governments appeasing the Hamas are a disgrace to history, and have only made things worse for their own countries since it doesn't change what the Islamic Koran commands doing to infidels.

Mahmoud Khalil will be deported

A federal judge has thankfully upheld deportation for the repulsive Muslim anti-Israel activist Khalil, to either of 2 locations:

A federal judge ordered Wednesday that immigrant Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist behind some of the radical protests at Columbia University, be deported — either to Algeria, or to his native Syria.

Khalil was arrested in early March by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Trump administration sought to have him deported, despite the fact that he had become a legal permanent resident (though not yet a U.S. citizen).

Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the arrest: “We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”

President Donald Trump had campaigned on a promise to deport foreign activists who had participated in the antisemitic “encampments” that sprung up across universities campuses in the late spring of 2024.

Whichever country he goes to, he can live in the poverty he deserves for all we care. Such an utterly repellent excuse for a "student" if that's what he's to be called, and he doesn't belong on university campuses in any sane country. And we should hope the Trump administration will also revive exile laws as well, so that domestic traitors can be banished from the USA for any offensive behavior they commit. That's another something needs to be worked on for safety's sake.

What 15 hostages went through at the hands of Hamas rapists

At least 15 rescued hostages opened up about the horrifying sexual violence they went through when Hamas imprisoned them:

Fresh testimony from survivors and witnesses demonstrates that Hamas terrorists systematically employed sexual violence during their October 7 assault on Israel, according to a comprehensive new investigation that documents previously unreported accounts of rape and sexual abuse. The Sunday Times revealed that the upcoming Dinah Project report presents evidence from 15 returned hostages who experienced sexual violence in captivity, with only one having spoken publicly before now.

The investigation, conducted by Israeli gender and legal experts with partial funding from the British government, found that sexual violence was "widespread and systematic" during the attack that killed approximately 1,200 people. According to The Sunday Times, the report establishes that rape and gang rape occurred in at least six different locations, though most victims were "permanently silenced" – either murdered during the assaults or left too traumatized to speak.

The Sunday Times reported that the Dinah Project will be published Tuesday in Jerusalem, representing the most comprehensive documentation of sexual violence during the October 7 attack. The report draws from first-hand testimony of 15 returned Gaza hostages, a survivor of attempted rape at the Nova music festival, and interviews with 17 people who witnessed or heard the attacks, along with therapists treating traumatized survivors.

The project aims "to counter denial, misinformation and global silence" regarding what researchers describe as "one of the most under-reported dimensions of the attacks." The report states its mission "to set the historical record straight: Hamas used sexual violence as a tactical weapon of war."

Any Jewish movements who championed Islamic immigration to the west are part and parcel of the problem

Mark Steyn commented on the horrifying terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, and notes a few things to ponder. For example:

The Boulder police chief is a chap called Stephen Redfearn, formerly the Department's chief LGBTQWERTY liaison. That's the Pride flag flying outside the Boulder courthouse above; as the mysteriously motiveless Molotov man rampages around with his cocktails, apparently undisturbed for a disturbing amount of time.

Of course it's also disturbing when people like that are in charge, because despite any suggestions to the contrary, they too are okay with the Religion of Peace, and when it takes over, only then will they jettison their LGBTQ positions. Well actually, they won't, if it involves the kind of double-standard the Religion of Peace goes by when it comes to children. To be sure, these kind of authority figures might've also played a part in any Kitty Genovese syndrome that's resulted by extension, and that too is very grave.

Now, here's more about how it got to such a heinous situation anywhere in the world:

In Paris, they have advanced to the next stage: the nation's young people, especially in the cities, are increasingly Muslim, so the nation's youth culture is increasingly Muslim, and so are its attendant jubilations. Ask those two girls in Paris, if they're still alive. A seventeen-year-old boy in Dax is dead, stabbed as part of the festivities. Dax is half-an-hour south of Toulouse, where a decade ago I visited the Jewish school at which another Mohammed of the Day had just shot dead the rabbi and three young pupils, and where the remaining synagogues in town have had to be consolidated into one windowless edifice guarded 24/7 by French soldiers.

Diversity is our strength - but only until everyone's Muslim. The wanker Jews from the ADL and the Canadian Jewish Congress and their European equivalents championed mass Islamic immigration and set in motion the extinguishing of Jewish life in the west. But, as the girls in that car could tell you, a taste for Jew-killing quickly expands to targets of more general interest.

So cut out the "values" bleating and get real. If you're not in favour of "remigration", the remnants of your society are either going to be Muslim or living psychologically in that besieged Citroen.

Yes, isn't that interesting how these "Jewish congresses" actually sided with the very followers of the Religion of Peace that led to antisemitic persecution even in Islamic countries themselves, and have blame to shoulder for foisting it upon European countries and the USA/Canada, at the expense of their own populations as much as Israelis/Jews themselves. Could these congresses have even been okay with forcing Jewish women to sit at the back of public buses because ultra-Orthodox demanded it? Well this is disgusting, and even Jewish movements, if and when responsible on their part for enabling tragedies in the long run, cannot be let off the hook for any part they had in leading to the horror story we're facing now. They must apologize and step away from any leadership position they're in, and should be ostracized by the wider public for lending their influence to bad causes, proving they were never really against antisemitism.

Update: in more related news about Colorado's case, it seems the Democrats running the state have been passing legislation making it harder for ICE to track illegal immigrants like the monster from Egypt:

Weeks before an illegal immigrant threw a Molotov cocktail at a group of pro-Israel demonstrators in Colorado, Democrats in the state passed legislation that would make it even harder to identify criminals like the man who told authorities he had been planning the attack for a year while illegally in the country.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national and illegal alien, is believed to have entered the United States on a visa before he was granted work authorization by the Biden administration, which he overstayed after it expired in March. Federal court filings say that Soliman not only admitted to the attack, but said that he wanted to kill all “zionists.”

Just weeks before the attack, Colorado Democrats passed legislation aimed at hindering Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) ability to find and deport illegal aliens. The bill, signed by Governor Jared Polis in late May, bars law enforcement in the state from respecting ICE detainer requests, which the federal agency uses to gain custody of illegal aliens who have been placed in local jails after being arrested for crimes.

The legislation was marketed as a way to counter the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration by Democrats in the state.

Well, this is definitely chilling as it's offensive in the extreme. Let's hope the Trump administration imposes special sanctions on Colorado's government to make clear what they're doing is unacceptable, just as it is that any European country's government could or does allow this.

Update 2: Soliman also tried to buy a gun, but was miraculously prevented from doing so because of his residency status.

Update 3: a survivor recounts what happened at the incident in Boulder, in which the police even took time to arrive.

Muslim illegal immigrant from Egypt committed horrific terrorist attack in Boulder, CO

A Muslim from Egypt who infiltrated the USA under the former fraud-in-chief Joe Biden's administration attacked people at a pro-Israel march in Boulder, Colorado, and fortunately, was captured before he could cause any serious injuries:

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have revealed that the suspect behind the Park Street Mall attack in Boulder, Colorado, is an illegal alien who entered the United States under the Biden administration.

Fox News’s Bill Melugin revealed that “three senior” DHS sources said Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is “an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally,” and has overstayed his visa after entering the United States under the Biden administration.

Melugin added that he was “told” Soliman “arrived at LAX on 8/27/22 on a B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa with an authorized stay through 2/26/23, but he overstayed & never left.”

“I’m told on 9/29/22, he filed some sort of claim with USCIS, potentially an asylum claim, and on 3/29/23, USCIS under the Biden admin gave him work authorization, which expired on 3/28/25,” Melugin added.

Melugin’s post came after FBI Special Agent Mark Michalek revealed during a press conference that Soliman had been identified as the suspect behind the attack which left multiple people injured and burned. Michalek also said there were six victims between the ages of 67-88 and that witnesses had reported the suspect had “used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd.”

“I’m able to confirm there are six victims, ages 67-88, all of them have been transported to local hospitals,” Michalek shared. “This attack happened at a regularly scheduled weekly peaceful event. Witnesses are reporting that the subject used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. The suspect was heard to yell, ‘Free Palestine’ during the attack. The subject has been identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, and he’s 45-years-old.”

“As a result of these preliminary facts, it is clear that this is a targeted act of violence and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism,” Michalek continued. “Sadly, attacks like this are becoming too common across the country, this is an example of how perpetrators of violence continue to threaten communities across our nation.”

The identification of Soliman as the suspect behind the attack in Boulder comes hours after reports came out that multiple people had been injured and burned by an attacker with Molotov cocktails while they were taking part in a pro-Israel walk to support hostages held by Hamas.

Videos on social media show Soliman allegedly shouting, “end Zionists,” and, “Palestine is Free.”

We must hope all who were injured will recover. As for the monster, he should be locked in solitary confinement, and most importantly, should not be allowed to read Korans if that's what it takes to lessen the psychological damage already done. And should definitely not be allowed to stay in the country. Here's more news about the case.

Update: more commentary from Robert Spencer, Mark Tapson and Daniel Greenfield.

Last remaining American hostage of Hamas freed

Eden Alexander, the one remaining USA-born hostage of Hamas, has been released from captivity:

Edan Alexander, 21, the last American-Israeli hostage, was released Monday by Hamas to the Red Cross and is en route to Israel, where he will be met by his family, doctors, and officials from both Israel and the U.S.

Alexander, who comes from Tenafly, New Jersey, immigrated to Israel and volunteered in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), where he was accepted into the elite Golani brigade. He was kidnapped by Hamas during the October 7, 2023, terror attack.

Many residents of Tenafly gathered at dawn to watch Alexander’s release.

Alexander was handed to the Red Cross — which, for nearly 600 days, failed to visit him in captivity — in Gaza on Monday afternoon local time, and was set to be delivered to Israeli forces in Gaza, before his return home.

It's to be remembered that this makes clear how evil the Red Cross actually is, if they refuse to try and visit hostages.

Donald Trump has welcomed Alexander's release, and this is an important achievement for the POTUS indeed. Here's more:

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum welcomes the release of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander “after 584 agonizing days of captivity.”

“Edan’s release is a beacon of light and hope, and it is also a reminder that 58 hostages are still being held captive in Gaza,” it says. “No hostage can be left behind. Unless all of them return, there will be no Israeli victory.”

“The return of all the hostages is the most urgent and important national mission of our generation,” the forum adds.

The problem is that the Hamas still cannot be allowed to remain, nor any other Muslims in Gaza, or this nightmare will return, and whether or not all hostages are released, we cannot allow that to impede upon punishing the jihadists. Food for thought.

Update: Alexander's been reunited with his family.

IDF strikes at key ports used by Houthis in Yemen

After the Houthis terrorist organization fired a rocket that struck the Ben-Gurion airport, the IDF took to destroying key routes used by the jihadists for supplies from Iran:

Israel destroyed the main airport in Sana’a, Yemen, the country’s capital, to prevent the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels from using it to rearm their missiles and resupply their forces, in the latest counterattack.

Tuesday’s airstrikes were the second in as many days, after the Israeli Air Force (IAF) attacked the Hodeidah port Monday, following a Houthi missile attack on Sunday that hit Israel’s main airport, Ben Gurion.

Of course, Iran itself still remains a serious threat, as they too have similar weapons they can fire from their area. Which is why the Israeli government's hinted at taking out Iran's key distribution areas too. And we must hope the IDF does.

Update: in addition to the above news, another vital read is the following report about Iran's involvement in the October 7, 2023 massacre in southern Israel:

The Iranian explosive charge, discovered near Kibbutz Alumim and carried by Hamas terrorists during the brutal onslaught of October 7, is not a random artifact - it is yet another direct piece of evidence of Tehran's involvement in the October 7 massacre.

Iran has never concealed its broad support for Hamas. On the contrary, it proudly boasts of arming, training and funding the terrorist group's infrastructure for years. Supreme Leader Khamenei openly praises the massacre but attempts to shirk responsibility. Yet as more evidence surfaces, including Hamas documents seized by the IDF during fighting in Gaza, Iran's denials ring increasingly hollow.

The documents reveal that the Quds Force, particularly its Palestinian branch led by Saeed Izadi, was actively involved in planning a wide-ranging terror campaign against Israel. Ultimately, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar proceeded without final coordination with Tehran or Hezbollah, thus averting an even more lethal combined assault.

Utterly abominable. The time for destroying Iran's government and military is long overdue.

Hamas continues to execute its own subjects

It's not just people suspected of collaborating with Israeli authorities that the Hamas is murdering. It's also looters:

Hamas has executed several individuals accused of looting as part of a harsh crackdown amid growing lawlessness in Gaza, according to sources close to the group, Reuters reported.

A wave of violence this week allegedly saw armed gangs raiding food stores and community kitchens, highlighting the breakdown of civil order under Hamas' rule. Hamas claims that some of those targeted were collaborating with Israel—an allegation not independently verified and not addressed by Israeli authorities. [...]

Ismail Al-Thawabta, spokesperson for Hamas' media office, said executions had been carried out against individuals allegedly involved in looting. He further claimed, without evidence, that some of these individuals had backing from Israel, a narrative often used by the group to justify its crackdowns.

To tighten control, Hamas has imposed nightly curfews and mobilized a 5,000-member force to target looters and dissenters. However, Israeli drone operations have reportedly hampered the group’s efforts, particularly when armed personnel are detected.

And all the while, anti-Israelists vehemently refuse to acknowledge any of these serious issues. The double-standards at work are utterly repugnant.

How Ben Shapiro defends Israel

Columnist Ben Shapiro was interviewed ahead of his visit to Israel on Independence Day (which, if transsexual singer Dana International is attending, I won't be watching, unfortunately), and makes a point that facts matter:

Shapiro's uncompromising advocacy for Israel has earned him many enemies worldwide. This week, when it was announced he had been chosen to light a torch at the Independence Day ceremony, it surprisingly became apparent that he has critics in Israel as well. A vocal minority from the left attacked Shapiro and those who selected him, attempting to portray him as "controversial" – a familiar tactic used whenever Israel decides to honor someone who fights relentlessly for the country without self-pity or selfish calculation, but doesn't belong to the "correct" left-wing circles.

Shapiro remains unfazed by attempts to smear him as "backwards" regarding homosexuality, abortion, and transgender issues. "I've seen many attempts to distort my actual positions from many on the Israeli left, particularly in the media," he says in an exclusive interview with "Israel Hayom." "It's not particularly surprising – their way of distortion is well-known. I have never said homosexuality is a mental illness, nor do I believe that. Here are my actual positions: I believe in the traditional definition of marriage, and that the state should offer benefits to such marriages because it's in the state's inherent interest to support father-mother-children nuclear families. I do not believe in the regulation of same-sex relationships. I am entirely pro-life because I believe unborn human beings deserve to live. I believe men cannot become women, that there are only two sexes (male and female), and that men with gender dysphoria remain men."

But more than anything, he doesn't understand what connection his positions on these and other issues, whether someone likes them or not, have to the underhanded attempt to disqualify his selection to light the Independence Day torch – and along with him, the vast majority of Israelis don't understand either: "After all, even those who disagree with me on these issues should celebrate and honor the establishment of the State of Israel, which represents the fulfillment of God's promise to the Jewish people and stands as a bulwark against enemies of the West. While I'm always happy to discuss my views and do so daily – for instance on my podcast, which is listened to by millions of people – what's far more important, particularly at this time in history, is recognizing that despite all our disagreements, we must not undermine the unity of celebrating Israel's Independence Day."

In this unifying message, he is right. Few know better than he how to distinguish between the essential and the trivial, between allies and enemies. It's no wonder that due to his willingness to defend Israel in every forum and at all times, he's often called "Israel's defender."

"That label is a great honor for me," Ben Shapiro (41) acknowledges. "I'm certain every decent person should defend Israel in its war against genocidal and monstrous enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and their sponsor – Iran. Today, defending Israel simply means telling the truth about it – there are too many people willing to lie or hedge to avoid controversy. For me, that has meant using my platform to spread the truth about what's happening in Israel and the region, appearing in some of the world's largest media outlets to do the same, debating on behalf of Israel at Oxford and Cambridge, and so on. It has also meant launching a musical called 'We Will Rise' in Israel, with music and lyrics by my father, to demonstrate our love for Israelis during this critical time. And it has meant giving more charity, speaking more, writing more, arguing more."

You can read more at the article. I hope that, if he speaks with Dana International, Shapiro will ask that man in drag if he recognizes that what the Hamas did to the women they graphically raped murdered on October 7, 2023 is wrong even in the guise of transsexual surgeries. That said, it's a shame culture minister Miri Regev had to take a woke path and invite Dana to attend, because it won't change anti-Israelists' view of Zion, and it doesn't help Israel's moral image either. What helps is if actual women who support good causes are elevated to heroic statuses. That's what's important now, and even Shapiro, it can be said, is supporting that.

And I'm glad to see that, if anything, Shapiro isn't making the mistake of obscuring Islam's darkest parts this time, as he once did 2 years ago. That was entirely uncalled for.

Air force reservists contribute to dhimmitude

A disturbing number of IAF reservists penned an absurdly defeatist letter opposing the war against the Hamas, and have let down the main staff:

In a missive to members of the Israeli Air Force, IAF chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar slams a letter signed by some 1,000 veterans, most of them retirees, demanding the return of the hostages even if it comes at the cost of ending the war against Hamas entirely.

“The manifesto that was published weakens the solidarity and leads to generalizations that affect servicemembers who are not partners to these views, as well as the entire [IAF],” Bar writes.

“It is not appropriate for active reservists to call to stop the war, which they themselves take part in. We cannot allow this in any unit that participates in the war, including the Air Force,” he says.

Bar says that he is “forced to act and declare that active reservists who signed the manifesto cannot continue to serve in the IDF.”

What the reservists are doing makes it sound like they're okay with jihadists striking again. And that's offensive. Of course freeing the remaining hostages is vital. But we can't allow a situation where jihadists could strike anew and murder more people in ways seen on October 7, 2023.

The army staff announced they'll be firing the bad apples:

Israel’s military said Friday it will fire air force reservists who signed a letter condemning the war in Gaza and claiming it only serves political interests instead of bringing the hostages home.

In a statement to The Associated Press, an army official said there was no room for any body or individual, including reservists in active duty, “to exploit their military status while simultaneously participating in the fighting,” calling it a breach of trust between commanders and subordinates.

The army said it decided that any active reservist who signed the letter will not be able to continue serving. It did not specify how many people that included or if the firings had begun.

Interesting some of them include retirees. But one thing's certain - they undoubtably include people with lenient views on Islam, and that's why this is so horrific and sad.

New graphic novel about October 7, 2023 features moral equivalence

The Times of Israel reported about a graphic novel being developed with a Canadian academic, and it looks like this product, unfortunately, relies on moral equivalence, blurring the differences between Jewish victims and Islamic aggressors, despite any claims to the contrary:

In the annals of graphic novels being written about the stories of those affected by the Hamas terror onslaught of October 7, 2023, “Echoes of October” may be the first in which the creators wish to remain mostly anonymous.

The fictional, kids-geared upcoming graphic novel has four child narrators — from Gaza City, Toronto, Tel Aviv, and the Druze town of Daliyat al-Karmel — each one telling their stories leading up until October 7, the day on which each of their fathers was killed.

The Jewish Israeli father from Tel Aviv was killed at the Nova desert rave, where he was working as a DJ, while the Druze boy’s father, an elite IDF soldier, was killed fighting near Gaza, defending the kibbutz communities.

The Palestinian girl’s father was killed as part of the wave of Gazan civilians who entered Israel on that day through the security fence to join the brutal assault, and the Canadian girl’s father — they’re not Jewish — was murdered during the onslaught at the kibbutzim, where he had been staying to help aid Palestinians.

So we're supposed to care about somebody who's father participated in a mass jihadist attack on defenseless women and children, not to mention also men, and, in allusion to what's further discussed below, we're also supposed to believe quite literally that he was dragged into this? I'm sorry, but this entirely obscures what influence the Islamic religion had in the whole tragedy, and how severe its indoctrination was all these years in the Hamas/PLO enclaves. Not to mention how taqqiya (deception) and naive conduct of specific victims made it possible for the jihadists to betray many of said victims.

To that end, and to avoid bias as much as possible, three of the four creators — including one of the two writers, the artist and the colorist — have opted to remain anonymous and together chose a pseudonym, Ami Adan, as the author name.

“We wanted to have as few preconceived notions as possible and we chose the name Ami Adan as an amalgamation of identities,” said Omri Rose, a professional voice actor who is Israeli and is one of the novel’s two writers, the only team member who opted to identify himself.

The idea for the graphic novel came about after October 7, when a Jewish Canadian academic who had previously been in touch with Rose began reaching out to him in solidarity following the Hamas terrorist attack.

“He wanted to do something, especially because things were so tough in Canada,” said Rose.

Rose’s Canadian co-creator particularly wanted to create something that would represent all sides affected by the conflict, but without authors whose names and origins would lead readers to draw their own assumptions.

“He sees this as a labor of importance,” said Rose.

The two began tossing around ideas for a graphic novel based on children, but with the focus on multiple perspectives and authenticity.

“It is pro-peace,” said Rose. “We firmly believe in Israel’s right to exist and also that the Palestinian people deserve respect and their own say, free of Hamas. It is anti-Hamas.”

Unfortunately, this just sounds like another effort to legitimize the whole fabrication of a Palestinian Moslem/Arab state at Israel's expense, obscure that many of the Gazan Islamists had nothing but hatred for the hostages, kept Arabic-translated copies of Mein Kamph in their households, don't accept Israel's existence no matter what they think of the Hamas, and "multiple perspectives" is little more than clue of defeatism involved. Not to mention that again, if they won't question whether the Religion of Peace had any influence in the horror of October 7, 2023, then what good will this GN be? The following notes that:

None of the deaths are explicitly explained, including the Gazan father, who is not a member of Hamas and instead is described as someone pulled into Hamas activities, without much say in the matter. [...]

Rose said that he and the other writer spoke with Gazan journalists and other Palestinians, as well as members of the Druze community, to create authentic storylines.

Umm, is that meant to imply he was merely coerced? Because as surviving hostages have testified, there were even journalists who were involved in the evil, and do the artists and writers of this GN take anything by Islamists in Gaza at face value? I'm sorry, but there's many clues here that this GN, if any, will not offer any meat-and-potatoes perspective, and will toe a PC line that forbids any objective view of the issues involved. Such moral equivalence is simply unacceptable.

Don't be misled by fake demonstrations in Gaza

An analyst for i24 News says the demonstrations against Hamas in the Gaza strip are actually organized by the same jihadist organization:

i24news Arab affairs commentator Zvi Yehezkeli claims that the protests against Hamas were actually orchestrated by the organization.

"I can't say what is behind them, but I suspect. My gut doesn't feel good about it, because I know the Gazans. The movements against Hamas were immediately suppressed. I think there is an interest for Hamas for these protests to come out, because Hamas is currently not concerned about its rule. These are not protests that threaten its rule. These are protests that come to show the world: we want to stay in Gaza and we agree that Hamas should not rule Gaza. That's the story," Yehezkeli claimed.

He stated, "If the world buys this, Hamas has done its part because it is essentially looking ahead. It sees Trump's plan that threatens to remove it and the Gazan citizens from the Gaza Strip and comes and says to the world: look, there are people who oppose me, there are sane people in Gaza - leave them alone. When they hear Israel's threats to evict everyone from the northern Gaza Strip - these protests serve Hamas and do not threaten it."

He added that there may also be anger in the Strip towards Hamas - but it does not stem from support for Israel. "Those who are currently protesting against Hamas are the same ones who are referred to in quotes as 'unaffiliated.' If there were an October 7th situation now, they would break the fence and do exactly what their predecessors did. Gaza is Gaza."

"My gut feeling is that this is too good to be true, and one should not rely on it. And let no one think that there are now complete partners in the Gaza Strip. There are only partners for what we saw on October 7th, to slaughter and murder," he concluded.

This is a very vital observation, and a point must be made that what was seen is little more than taqqiya (deception). When these monsters are such savages in the first place, it's clear they haven't really changed, and definitely not if they haven't abandoned Islam. Nobody should allow Hamas' minions to deceive them. This is just one more reason why they must leave the Gaza strip.
