It's just not fair, I tell you. Israel manufacturing pagers ordered by terrorists loaded with explosives is not fighting fair. They shouldn't have disguised the explosive. They should have warned the terrorists. Volker Türk, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, claims that the pager attacks using Hezbollah electronics not only "violated international human rights law" but also appear to violate international humanitarian law’s key principles in carrying out attacks: "distinction between civilians and combatants, proportionality, and precautions."As I said, Israel is not playing fair. They should have let Hezbollah blow up 3,700 Israelis to achieve the "proportionality" test of...

[...] "This evening, we updated the families of Hersh, Eden, Ori, Alex, Almog, and Carmel, may their memories be a blessing, that we eliminated two terrorists who had held them hostage in a tunnel in the Rafah area. "The day after the hostages were murdered, troops from the 162nd Division identified two terrorists emerging from an underground tunnel shaft in the Tel al-Sultan area and eliminated them during an encounter.

Among the nearly 70 scholars is Shawan Jabarin, a former senior member of the...

Israeli Defense Officials are expecting Hezbollah to launch a Major Attack on Israel in the coming 12-24 Hours, possibly consisting of Hundreds of Long-Range Rockets and Missiles against Northern Israel as well as Military Targets in the Center. Strikes today by the Israeli Air Force are intended to both Destroy the Offensive Capability of Hezbollah to carry out such an Attack, as well as Deter any Future Large-Scale Attacks; however, if Hezbollah is set on launching such an Attack, their Rocket and Missile Capabilities are Vast, making it nearly Impossible to Totally Prevent.

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Velshi,” NBC News Chief International Correspondent Keir Simmons reacted to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan praising the death of Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil in a recent Israeli strike as a positive outcome because it means that Aqil was brought to justice for his involvement in the Beirut barracks bombing in 1983 that killed 241 American military personnel by stating that “Of course, this, what is an assassination is not bringing somebody to justice.” While discussing recent Israeli strikes, Simmons said, “The Israeli Defense Forces saying that the strike killed 16 Hezbollah members, including 12 senior...

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated that her office was "tagged with blood-splattered signs" accusing her of supporting terrorism after she criticized Israel for launching attacks in Lebanon and Syria, which included exploding communication devices. Posting on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), AOC wrote on Friday, September 20, "Yesterday my House office was tagged with blood-splattered signs accusing me of supporting terrorism after I questioned the pager operation, which clearly runs counter to US policy." "They must live under a rock to not know I don’t take well to bullies," she added, sharing a paragraph from the...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Harris-Walz Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that Hezbollah’s continuing “escalatory” attacks against Israel, “this striking incident where pagers and walkie-talkies were remotely detonated” in addition to the “ongoing ground war in Gaza” have all made it “harder than ever” to see the ceasefire deal that “President Biden very much urgently wants to get done” happening. But the Biden administration is pushing both Hamas and Israel to reach one. Coons said, “[I]t is heartbreaking how close we’ve come to a ceasefire and hostage deal. I know senior members of the Biden team are...

At a “Fighting Anti-Semitism in America” event in Washington on Thursday night, former President Donald Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of failing to address the surge in antisemitism and challenged her to distance herself from Hamas sympathizers supporting her campaign. “Despite presiding over this explosion of antisemitism, Kamala Harris has done absolutely nothing,” Trump said. “She has not lifted a single finger to protect you or to protect your children or to even protect you with words.” Trump also blasted Harris for sympathizing with anti-Israel demonstrators on college campuses, referencing a July interview where she described the protests as...

The State Department grossly mishandled its suspension of scandal-plagued Iran envoy Robert Malley, allowing him to continue accessing classified information and sensitive data after he was disciplined, according to an inspector general report reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The department's assistant inspector general gathered congressional staffers Wednesday afternoon for a closed-door briefing on the agency’s missteps after Malley had his security clearance pulled in 2023 for mishandling classified information. The briefing revealed that Malley was permitted to engage in classified activities even after his clearance was pulled, representing a breach of federal protocol, according to attendees. Malley was also...

Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), said Wednesday that there would be no “normalization” of relations with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state — a reversal of his position one year ago. In September 2023, as Breitbart News reported, MBS said that he wanted to see a “good life” for Palestinians emerge from any peace deal with Israel, but specifically excluded mention of a Palestinian state. While the Saudi foreign minister insisted on a Palestinian state, MBS — the real source of power in the kingdom — pointedly did not. But the Biden administration reportedly intervened,...

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly is to seek approval to the Government to bring dozens of children from Gaza to Ireland for medical care. The initiative follows months of work across Government departments, along with the input of medical doctors and the Irish Red Cross. The Cabinet is meeting this morning ahead of the return of the Dáil later today after the summer recess. This plan is aiming to evacuate around 30 children from Gaza before the end of the year in what would be the first phase of the program. …

A Palestinian polling center published data Tuesday showing most Gazans believe Hamas’s decision to launch the October 7 massacre on Israel was incorrect, months after Israel accused the pollster of using falsified figures claiming high levels of support for the terror group. The poll, conducted in early September by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR), found that 57 percent of people surveyed in the Gaza Strip said the decision to launch the offensive was incorrect, while 39% said it was correct. It marked the first time since October 7 that a PCPSR poll found a majority of...
