Militants infiltrated areas of southern Israel as rocket barrages launched from the Gaza Strip struck the region on Saturday in an attack the Islamist movement Hamas is taking responsibility for. A senior Hamas military commander, Mohammad Deif, announced the start of the operation in which he called on Palestinians everywhere to attack the Israelis. "This is the day of the greatest battle end the last occupation on earth," he said in a broadcast on Hamas media, saying that 5,000 rockets had been launched. In a video message early Saturday morning, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "Citizens of Israel, we...

An ex-Amish TikToker revealed that the national smartphone emergency alert got his friends from the religious community in trouble for having phones. Every US smartphone, television and radio received an alert on Wednesday at 2:18pm ET as part of a nationwide test for an emergency alert system. Unfortunately for three members of the Amish community, the alert also involved a powerful alarm sound that outed them for having modern devices - which go against their beliefs. Amish beliefs and traditions condemn modern technology and encourage plain clothing. The community is known for not using any modern devices, dressing in old-fashioned...

CUNY's law school banned student speakers at future commencements after last year's anti-Israel rant that called the NYPD and other groups 'fascist.' In a now-infamous speech from last year, Yemeni immigrant Fatima Mousa Mohammed claimed laws are 'white supremacy' and attacked American institutions. The speech drew immediate backlash from numerous organizations and elected officials, even as Fatima defended her words and doubled down on her message. Now, administrations have quietly banned student speakers at the school's graduation, though they will still give speeches as 'pre-commencement' events. 'It's a great step in trying to combat hate speech at the law school...

The new Israeli Operation in the Simchat Torah War that started today is named Operation "Swords of Steel". What is the significance (biblically) of the name? Here is one possibility: Methusaleh is best known for being the person with the longest lifespan explicitly mentioned in the Bible. However, a little-known tradition about Methusaleh sheds some light on the meaning of his somewhat obscure name. The name Methusaleh is comprised of the words met (“he died”) and ve-shelach (“and sword”). What is the significance of this name? According to the Midrash (cited by Peirush HaRokeach, Sifsei Kohen, and others), Methusaleh had...

This week on Christian World News: the end of an Armenian Republic in Azerbaijan, refugees finding refuge in North Dakota, and using the latest technology to connect people of faith.

Liberals are constantly saying that fascism is a right-wing belief system, because that's how the university education system allocated it. We both know that's bs, because Mussolini and Gentile were quite clear that they were creating a socialist political system that has all the markings of left-wing socialism. When somebody says that fascism is right-wing, they are not defining it as right-wing objectively, but subjectively. Relative to themselves because they are to the left of fascism, making them communists or that thin sliver that sits between communism and fascism. However, it doesn't matter. What I realized is that they are...

In multiple reference points throughout the annals of history, you will find numerous quotes and citations from various governmental and civic leaders as they began to devalue/dehumanize specific segments of people – prior to the phase of purging, the final solution.It is a very specific type of dangerous psychology, a sociopath condition, that cannot allow people to exist who do not conform to the mindset or worldview of the speaker. It is not a type of messaging to be tossed into the bucket of “she really didn’t mean that.” Yes, actually yes, she did. She means every word of it....

Under normal circumstances Democrats portray a government shutdown as the worst possible calamity that could befall the nation. However, several have said that they would be willing to have the US government shutdown if that is what it takes to ensure that continued subsidies of Ukraine's war with Russia remain uninterrupted. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) told CNN Host Kaitlan Collins that "there is no higher priority among Democrats than to do whatever we have to do to make sure Ukraine funding happens and it happens in a way that gives them the unbroken resources that they need to continue to...

One thing Justin Trudeau did not expect at his little “meet and greet” was to get thoroughly owned by a Canadian man who outsmarted him, outclassed him, and left Trudeau scrambling for an excuse. It all began when the disgraced Canadian PM went to shake the man’s hand, and he refused, bluntly calling Trudeau a “piece of s***.” When Justin asked why the man thought that, he told him it was because he believed Trudeau had ruined the country. Cocky Justin should’ve left it at that and walked away, but he didn’t. He made the mistake of pressing the man...

Former president Donald Trump is facing ninety-one criminal charges as he seeks to win back the White House in 2024. The indictments are the latest battle in a roughly six-year crusade against Trump that first sought to remove him from power through the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, then with espionage charges and impeachments, and that now aims to block him from becoming president again. The mantra we hear from those in politics and media who support these efforts is that nobody is above the law.But there’s an entire class of people above the law. Or who at least act like they’re above...

Judge Aileen Cannon on Friday paused litigation in Jack Smith’s classified documents case as she decides whether to grant Trump’s motion to extend deadlines related to classified material. Trump attorneys Chris Kise and Todd Blanche accused Jack Smith’s prosecutors of using dilatory tactics to slow-roll the discovery process and taking too long to turn over evidence. Blanche and Kise said the May trial date makes the schedule “unworkable,” according to the motion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit. “On July 18, 2023, the Special Counsel’s Office represented to the Court that ‘all’ discovery would be available on ‘day one.’” Trump’s lawyers...

A New York Appellate Judge on Friday smacked down far-left Judge Arthur Engoron and paused his order to dissolve Trump Org. Last week Judge Engoron issued an order to rescind Trump’s business licenses as punishment in Letitia James civil lawsuit. Engoron effectively ordered the dissolution of Trump Org. “Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s business licenses be rescinded as punishment, making it difficult or impossible for them to do business in New York, and said he would continue to have an independent monitor oversee Trump Organization operations.” – AP reported last week. “If not successfully appealed, the order would strip...
