Freed Israeli hostages told the Israeli parliament, or Knesset, this week about the sexual abuse committed by Hamas terrorists against both male and female hostages in Gaza, according to Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy in a briefing on Tuesday. Levy quoted former hostage Agam Goldstein-Almog, 17, who told the Knesset that some female hostages had stopped having their periods in captivity — which, she said, she hoped was a physical defense against becoming pregnant from rape by their captors. She reportedly had added that Hamas terrorists were also dressing female hostages as dolls in order to abuse them in sadistic...

And these are the people to whom Biden and the so-called international community think Israel should be rushing humanitarian aid!! I don’t think so. My heart breaks for these victims and I am beyond furious at the horrors they suffered during their last few minutes on earth. It is unimaginable as is the pain of their relatives who they left behind. I have read that the Israelis are attempting to identify many of the dead by forensic means because they are otherwise unrecognizable. I have also read that investigators are reviewing all the videos and cell phones in their possession...

Most countries were founded by professionals including lawyers and businessmen. Sometimes they included pharmacists, doctors and inventors. Often they included generals and military leaders. As Palestinians now call for the world to accept a new State of Palestine in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 massacre, it is worth considering a country whose founding fathers are psychopaths and cowards. Consider that Hamas has ruled Gaza outright since 2007, so every child under 16 years old has only known a land governed by the U.S.-designated terrorist group. On October 7, it assembled well over one thousand people of its army...

A migrant caravan numbering thousands of people from Central and South America is making its way through southern Mexico this week en route to the U.S. The caravan, which is estimated to include 8,000 migrants, comes as Secretary of State Antony Blinken and a senior U.S. delegation are meeting with Mexican officials, including Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, to discuss the current migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border. On the social media platform X, Blinken said both sides discussed ways to discuss the "irregular migration."

The Venezuelan Observatory of Violence (OVV) said in its annual report that Venezuela still had the world's highest murder rate, 81.4 per 100,000 inhabitants, but it noted that figure was down from 89 in 2017 and 92 the year before. Director Roberto Briceño attributed the drop in part to migration. ... Briceño added that some prominent local gangs appeared to no longer be active in Venezuela, while crimes elsewhere in the region have been attributed to those same groups. The total number of homicides fell to 23,047 from 26,616 the in 2017, said the OVV, whose researchers have access to...

In addition to the tens of thousands of migrants entering the U.S. without authorization each day now, a huge 8,000-15,000-strong migrant caravan called "Exodus from Poverty" is headed to the states from southern Mexico now. They know full well that the border is open and Joe Biden is going to let them in. According to the New York Post's editorial:An estimated 8,000 people set off on Christmas Eve from the southern Mexican city of Tapachula.Destination: the border that Joe Biden threw wide open and refuses to enforce. Biden will do what he always does, blame Congress. But the failure is...

300,000 immigrants have arrived in the past month. Probably 3 million this past year. Probably 10 million immigrants since Biden was installed in DC. There is a Holiday Inn half a mile from my house that our government has bought and is housing a hundreds immigrants there. My wife spoke with one of them and he said they are receiving 3 free meals a day at that hotel. This immigrant from El Salvador said the hotel is full of immigrants from Central America, China, and Africa. Obviously, there must be hundreds of similar housings like this in USA. I read...

Families staying at the Floyd Bennett Field shelter at the edge of Brooklyn are showing up at homes four miles away in the Marine Park neighborhood, seeking food, clothes and funds — spurring both online vitriol and real-world help. Residents are sharing anecdotes and images on Nextdoor and Facebook groups, describing migrant families begging for change near the Kings Plaza Mall, the nearest commercial hub to the shelter, where city buses drop off and pick migrants up. Other residents have described them going door-to-door on residential streets asking for clothing, food or money. Some, like David Fitzgerald, 62, an Irish...

More than seven out of 10 Palestinians believe that Hamas was right to carry out the Oct. 7 terrorist attack against Israel that resulted in the deaths of at least 1,200 people, mostly civilians, according to a new survey. But most don't believe Hamas committed war crimes on that day. Between Nov. 22 and Dec. 2, 2023, the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research conducted a poll of 1,231 adults in the West Bank and Gaza Strip during a temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The interviewers questioned 750 participants in person in the West Bank, 451 in the...

...a United Nations program that, unknown to most Americans, has been showering millions of dollars in cash to help foreign nationals on their way to cross the U.S. southern border. In late 2021 and early 2022, the UN program drew outrage among advocates of regular immigration law enforcement, including congressional Republicans of border states, after they learned, in part from Center for Immigration Studies video, photos, and analysis, that UN debit cards and vouchers for transportation, shelter, and medical and legal advice to gain asylum “protection” all along Latin America’s migration trails were easing travel in the most voluminous ongoing...

Survey by Palestinian polling firm shows 75% support for October 7 massacre. Defeating Hamas is just the first step if there ever is to be peace. Palestinian society is going to have to change, much like German and Japanese societies changed after their defeat.. We shouldn’t have to do this. But lowlife scum have been spreading false claims either that the Hamas massacre on October 7 never happened (e.g. The Palestinian Authority, you know, ‘the moderates’) or that Israeli did the killing (internet clickbait personalities like Jackson Hinkle and pathological anti-Israel fanatics like Max Blumenthal). So we continue with the...

Marxist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once blustered that the West was so guilty for its colonization that the best path would be to be colonized in reverse: “It’s our turn to tread the path, step by step, which leads down to native level. But to become natives altogether, our soil must be occupied by a formerly colonized people and we must starve of hunger. This won’t happen.”Sartre, obviously, was wrong. He, along with his like-minded and soft-headed colleagues, helped to discredit the West so thoroughly that the West spent decades importing millions of people who despise it.

Harrowing video shows Palestinian civilians being shot at — apparently by Hamas snipers — while trying to flee a pediatric cancer hospital where terrorists have barricaded themselves against the ongoing ground assault by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip.Footage posted on X Friday shows families walking onto a side street waving white flags before gunfire is heard, sending the crowd scrambling for shelter while a child can be heard crying.Media intelligence agency Storyful confirmed that the video was recorded at the al-Nasr Pediatric Hospital based on Google Maps images, but was unable to say whether the terror group or Israeli...

Two people in Southern California have come down with dengue fever without traveling outside the United States, where the mosquito-borne illness is rare, health officials said. A Pasadena resident was confirmed to have dengue last month but is recovering, officials said. “This is the first confirmed case of dengue in California not associated with travel and is instead an extremely rare case of local transmission in the continental United States,” the Pasadena Public Health Department announced. The case remains under investigation, but it appears that someone became infected with the dengue virus, returned home and was bitten by a mosquito...
