A founding member of Hamas — the terrorist group behind the weekend slaughter of more than 1,200 people, including babies — was among those killed Tuesday in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza, according to local reports. Abd al-Fattah Dukhan, a senior Hamas official known as “Abu Osama,” was killed in an attack by Israeli Defense Forces in the central Gaza Strip, Israel’s KAN public broadcaster reported, citing local Palestinian reports. The prominent member was taken down in the Nuseirat neighborhood in the center of Gaza, according to the report. Two other senior Hamas leaders, Zachariah Abu Ma’amar and Jawad Abu...

The world liberals madeLast week, activist Ryan Carson was stabbed to death in New York City and journalist Josh Kruger was shot and killed in his Philadelphia home. Both men were radical leftist activists who had downplayed the danger of crime in major U.S. cities. A heated debate quickly erupted online after many conservatives pointed out that these men fell victim to a problem they helped manufacture and justify.Progressives became livid over the fact that someone might recognize the simple cause-and-effect relation between these men’s politics and the sorrowful state of the cities in which they lived. The fact that...

Firefighters made a grisly discovery last month when they found a woman burning alive on the side of an Austin, Texas, road in an upscale suburb – and the victim's devastated family told Fox News Digital they are still trying to comprehend the "incredible loss." The scorched remains of Melissa Davis, 33, were discovered near the intersection of Mesa Drive and Cat Mountain Drive a little after 5 a.m. Sept. 29 by firefighters who were responding to a 911 call of a grassfire, according to the Austin Police Department. "It’s an incredible loss for all of us," said Davis's stepmother...

ALTIMORE — In the wake of a shooting that left five people injured during homecoming festivities, Morgan State University leaders announced Tuesday they plan to build a wall around most of the northeast Baltimore campus and station security personnel at entrances and exits. The wall would extend existing barriers by about 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) to encircle 90% of campus and effectively “eliminate unfettered access,” university President David Wilson said during a campus town hall. “We’re doing this, let me be clear, not to keep out our neighbors and our community writ large; we are doing it to keep out...

New York University’s Law Student Bar Association on Wednesday moved to oust its president who had penned a controversial pro-Hamas column in the school’s newsletter, as school brass issued yet another statement condemning the comments. The backlash came a day after group President Ryna Workman posted a message accusing Israel of “state-sanctioned violence” and saying they bore “full responsibility” for the barbaric and highly coordinated terror attacks that killed more than 1,200 civilians Saturday. On Wednesday, members of the Student Bar Association released a statement saying they did not “write, approve, or see this message” before it was published, and...

Q to Tlaib re her Palestinian Islamofascists intruders of Oct.7.23 who raped girls after they shot them... Do they still get "virgins" at the XXX-Rated Islamic so called "paradise?" __ "They came to slaughter, to destroy. I know they kidnapped girls. They raped women even after killing them."

When the shock from the Hamas terror invasion of southern Israel wore off, my first thought was, “WTAF were they thinking?” I did not use an acronym. I was in front of my sink, putting toothpaste on my toothbrush, and I just blurted out all the words. What we’ve learned since Saturday morning’s bloodfest has only grown worse, including reports of 40 murdered babies — several of whom had been beheaded. There are still too many scenes around the West, like Tuesday night in Georgetown, where student protestors could be heard chanting “From the river to the sea” and “Long...

Talks are underway to allow United States and Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip to exit the territory into Egypt ahead of any land invasion of the territory by Israeli forces, according to a senior Israeli official. Under the proposal being discussed, all US citizens would be permitted to pass through the Rafah border crossing if they present their US passports, while the movement of other Palestinian civilians would be limited to 2,000 people a day, the official with knowledge of the negotiations told CNN on Wednesday. Final approval of the arrangement would need to come from the Egyptians, who...

Sorry for a vanity, but I can't find any articles with this information. Israel currently has ten Arab members of Knesset. (Their parliament) And I think they've had this many for a while. Most are Muslim, one is Druze, one is Christian, and some are indeterminate. Two of them are women. Muslim: Mansour Abbas Youssef Atauna [This one has two wives, which is against the law in Israel, but I guess he gets away with it.] Iman Khatib-Yasin (Woman) Ayman Odeh (Raised Musim, but secular) Ahmad Tibi Walid Taha Druze: Hamad Amar Christian: Aida Touma-Suleiman (Woman) I couldn't find the...

Hamas launched a fresh wave of rocket attacks in Israel this afternoon, destroying a children's hospital and a supermarket. Shocking footage from the southern city of Ashkelon shows the Barzilai Medical Centre in ruins with the children's wing taking a direct hit. Pictures also show the remains of a supermarket in the city, surrounded by debris and marked by a large crater. The strikes were among many launched by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, who targeted multiple locations across the country. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later shared a harrowing image of a child's bed with its sheets soaked in...

On Oct. 11, 1992, St. Louis hosted the first three-way presidential debate in U.S. history, with Ross Perot, Bill Clinton and George Bush squaring off. As millions of Americans watched on TV, about 600 others - mostly campaign workers, local dignitaries, reporters and Washington University students - got inside the Washington University Field House for the 94-minute debate. Bill McClellan was on the scene, and here was his report. ABOUT AN hour and a half before the presidential debate, August Busch III walked into the Anheuser-Busch hospitality tent next to the Washington University Field House. A murmur passed through the...

Ronald Reagan’s values, vision and vibrant personal optimism inspired a rebirth of American pride, growth and exceptionalism in the 1980s, after nearly two decades of social and cultural upheaval. "Reagan was deeply concerned about America in the late 70s," Virginia-based historian and author Craig Shirley told Fox News Digital. "America had gone through 17 long, horrible years beginning with the assassination of JFK." The quagmire of Vietnam, the author added, the failed presidency of Lyndon Johnson, the resignation of Richard Nixon, the Iran hostage crisis and the infamous social and economic "malaise" of the Jimmy Carter administration all created the...

Anyone else notice how bad FoxNews APP and website have become with pop up ads during the past week or so? I can't view stories because my computer freezes, and I deleted the APP on my iPhone because the ads steal the screen completely...

Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib refused to condemn the beheadings of Israeli babies when confronted by a reporter on Tuesday. Tlaib, who has a colorful history of anti-semitism, blamed Israel for the Hamas attacks, which saw 1,200 Israelis murdered by Palestinian terrorists over the weekend. Fourteen Americans were also murdered during the attacks. Tlaib’s office released a statement following the attacks, saying: “The path to the future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.” On Tuesday, Rashida Tlaib was confronted by reporters over recent...

While working at my desk, I’ve been streaming various, YouTube channels showing from Israel and Gaza. This one shows four different live cameras. Watching lots of missiles fly, including some sea launched ones just off the Tel Aviv.

The main lesson for Israel from the hideous Hamas attacks suffered over the weekend is a simple one: Terrorists can’t be managed. For decades, Israel worked with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA) by combining incentives on the one hand with controlled military responses on the other. Major attacks, including rockets from Gaza last May, prompted retaliation, usually with air power, and a subsequent cease-fire, often brokered by Egypt. When Iranian-sponsored militias set up weaponry in the West Bank, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted on-the-ground operations in Jenin and Nablus. In the case of Hezbollah, Israel allowed the US...

Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger delivered a grave assessment of what Democrats stand for, saying that they want to ruin every city in America during his upcoming appearance on Rob Lowe’s Literally podcast. In the segment reported by Mediaite, Lowe mentions former California Republican Congressman David Dreier, who left office in 2013, who, Lowe says, once described Republican principles. Lowe told Schwarzenegger that Drier said Republicans stand for “in no particular order, strong military, low taxes, less government, more personal freedoms,” and then noted that he was forgetting one.

President Joe Biden offered strong support to Israel this week after massive terror attacks by the Palestinian Hamas terror group, but said nothing about following President Donald Trump’s example of withdrawing funds that may have benefited terrorism. In fact, President Donald Trump was the first U.S. president to cut aid to the Palestinians because of concerns about subsidies that the Palestinian Authority (PA) pays to terrorists and their families — what critics have called the “pay to slay” program.

The first patients were recruited at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London to begin clinical trials. The first clinical trial of a new vaccine candidate to treat cat allergies has been given the all-clear, according to a French-Canadian pharmaceutical company. This is the first human test to evaluate the safety and ability of the new vaccine to provoke an immune response in adults who are allergic to cat dander, the company Angany said. There is no current cure for cat allergies, which is a life-long condition but there are over-the-counter medicines that can help to relieve symptoms.
