As the Israel-Hamas War resumed after the ceasefire was broken when Hama fired into Israel, a top Hamas official "promised" in an interview with Lebanese media that the terrorist organization would "soon" launch a "war of liberation" against the Jewish State — larger than the horrific Oct. 7 massacre. In the interview, transcribed by MEMRI (The Middle East Media Research Institute), senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan was asked: "If you could go back in time to October 6, would you still do what you did on October 7?"His response was immediate and direct:Why do some people assume that we would...

One of the most accurate aspects about Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza is the use of the word Nazi to describe the terrorist enemy. No other label or historical parallel could capture the chilling ferocious madness – but not scope – of Palestinian butchery of Israelis. The Nazi vilification epithet has now become conventional Israeli discourse in public and media circles with the vivid revelation – in words and photos – of Palestinian savagery and barbarism by Hamas on October 7. Hamas terrorists, without an ounce of inhibition or remorse, shot youth in cold blood at the music festival...

Far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is reportedly a member of a private Facebook group which features members who are openly sympathetic to Hamas terrorists, according to a report from Fox News Digital. According to the report, Tlaib is a member of the closed group Palestinian American Congress. Screenshots reveal there to be about 15,038 members, and non-members are unable to view the group. Tlaib, however, has reportedly been a member of this group for six years, per screenshots from Fox News Digital, which gained access to the page. The group is fraught with controversy, particularly in the wake of Hamas...

DEVELOPING STORY: Thousands of pro-Hamas rioters caused mayhem in New York City overnight. Click here for our full coverage of the riots. The protesters also destroyed an untold number of American flags — on Veterans Day. Video shows a man climbing up flag poles and ripping down Old Glory. The stars and stripes were then replaced by the Palestinian flag. NYPD officers watched as the man desecrated our flag, but they did nothing. One has to wonder if they were ordered to stand down. Meanwhile, a man was kicked out of his private suite at a Philadelphia Eagles game because...

President Biden is returning to his Delaware home on Saturday — only a short distance from hundreds of protesters accusing him of genocide. Biden is returning to his residence in Wilmington after delivering a Veterans' Day address as the "Delaware Palestine March" commences in the same area. "Biden, Biden, you can't hide! We charge you with genocide!" the crowd chanted as protesters began gathering earlier this afternoon.

ASADABAD, AFGHANISTAN - Three separate clashes with Al Qaeda fighters this week, including Wednesday's foiled attack inside the city of Kabul, point to the terrorist organization's resurgence in Afghanistan. But there may be much more to come. According to exclusive interviews with Afghan military intelligence chiefs in the eastern Afghan province of Kunar, Al Qaeda has established two main bases inside Pakistan – hundreds of miles north of where US and Pakistani troops are now hunting – and is preparing for a massive strike against the Afghan government. To blunt US air superiority, Al Qaeda forces are attempting to acquire...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Undercover FBI agents are boarding overseas flights bound for the U.S. and shadowing passengers suspected of being connected to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups, U.S. intelligence officials told WorldNetDaily. Upon landing in the U.S., agents have arrested some suspects with the help of other agents waiting in airport terminals to spring the trap, they say. Most recently some 20 FBI agents in Chicago converged on an O'Hare International Airport terminal to arrest an Arab man suspected of supporting al-Qaida, officials say. The suspect, a permanent U.S. resident, flew in from the Middle East on a connecting flight...

And now they endorse Osama bin Laden and they want to control Jerusalem after driving the Jews into the sea. Shortly after the bombing at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, thousands of radical Islamic Palestinians gathered in Gaza to celebrate the death and destruction of a suicide bomber at the University. The spiritual leader of Hamas not only called for more attacks, but also stated that the only way to end the violence was for all Jews to leave Israel. The conflict between Arabs and Jews goes back to the birth of Isaac, the son of covenant, and Ishmael, who...

In 1975, Jimmy Carter's arms control director Paul Warnke published an article titled "Apes on a Treadmill," which summarized liberal thinking on the "lessons of Vietnam." Those "lessons" have sunk deep roots into liberal thinking and continue to hamper the sane conduct of foreign policy even as we contemplate a pre-emptive strike on Iraq. Warnke asserted that "we need not and cannot be the world's policeman. ... Neither we nor any other outsiders are wise enough to decide for another people the course to which their aspirations should lead them. The continuing penumbra of the illusion that somehow we...

Former Libyan PM: Why Do Arabs Ignore Their Flaws Former Libyan prime minister Abd Al-Hamid Al-Bakkoush published an article in the London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat titled, "Hasn't the Time Come to Stop Hiding the Flaws." The following are excerpts of the article: The Arabs Ignore Their Shortcomings and Make Them Virtues "They say that the camel cannot see his hump. Perhaps this is somewhat descriptive of our behavior. Yet while the camel cannot see, we… do not want to see…" "Anyone following the affairs in which we engage and of which we write or speak in this era will...

Apologists for the constant Arab terrorism against Israelis rationalize it by claiming past injustices and by suggesting an outgunned movement can only fight back by attacking civilian targets. Maybe those apologists for terror can start explaining why the same tactics by the same people are being employed against other Arabs in Lebanon. That's right. It hasn't received much attention in the international press. But there's a war raging in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. It's Lebanon's own little intifada in the making. Last week, a bomb went off in front of a shop in the Ain Helweh camp near...

For the second time in three months, a bomb exploded underneath a fuel tanker yesterday, lightly injuring the vehicle's driver. New security procedures recommended by police to prevent such an attack have yet to be implemented.

Truck driver Rafi Levy, 47, of Jerusalem, was lightly injured when a bomb exploded underneath his truck as it was being repaired in a Rishon Letzion garage. Levy told police that he had parked the previous night in a secured...
