Former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo has claimed that Israel should have agreed to release all terrorists held in Israeli prisons in exchange for all the hostages kidnapped on October 7, Kikar Hashabbat reported. The vast majority of the hostages are civilians, including children; most of the terrorists have blood on their hands. In a recent podcast interview, Pardo said that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar offered at the start of the war, before Israel began a ground offensive into Gaza, that Israel release all terrorists in exchange for all hostages. "Israel chose revenge," Pardo said. "And Israel knew that it could...

CNN — The bodies of six hostages held by Hamas have been recovered in an underground tunnel in Gaza, Israel’s military said Sunday. The captives, including an Israeli American, were among the more than 200 people taken by the militants into Gaza following their deadly cross-border rampage on October 7.

She attended the rave with her boyfriend, Simon Vigdergaus, who was also murdered that day. Her mother told the Telegraph that after the rocket sirens sounded, Rita texted her to say that they were planning on leaving via car. That was the last they heard from her.

Israeli hostages who were freed in a rescue operation Saturday reportedly confirmed that they had been held by Palestinian journalist Abdallah Aljamal — but a CNN story about the claim continues to say it is “without … evidence.” The four rescued hostages had been held in two separate homes in Nuseirat, Gaza, within 200 meters of each other. One female hostage, Noa Argamani, was held in one location, while the three male hostages were held in another. As Breitbart News reported, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that the three male hostages had been held by a journalist named Abdallah...

President Joe Biden immediately corrected another gaffe during a speech on Monday in which he falsely claimed that an American hostage “being held by Hamas” is now safe. The president issued his gaffe during a celebration of Jewish heritage at the White House wherein he acknowledged Hersh Goldberg-Polin as being “here with us today” even though he remains held by Hamas. “My administration is working around the clock to free the remaining hostages, just as we have freed hostages already. And here with us today is Hersh Goldberg-Polin,” Biden said at the rose garden party.

What President Trump said this morning about the Israeli hostages held by Hamas is brutally honest and true. It is always difficult to tell the hard thing to those who need to pretend not to know the truth. However, one of the great benefits of President Trump’s leadership both domestically and on the global stage is his willingness to say the honest thing consistently. [LINK] The way this statement is truthfully worded is a pattern of linguistic assembly exclusive to President Donald Trump.

An Israeli-funded Super Bowl ad calling for the return of fathers captured by Hamas in their October 7 attack on Israel drew more complaints than any other ad that ran during the championship game, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) documents claim. As TMZ Sports reports, the ad, titled Bring All Dads Back Home, conveyed the message, “All the dads held in captivity by Hamas for over 120 days, we vow to bring you home.” Fans on s ocial media and activists claim the ad lacked FCC-mandated disclaimers, making it clear that the Israeli government funded the content. Interestingly, as TMZ Sports...

President Joe Biden divulged details of secret negotiations over Israeli hostages to late-night comedy host Seth Myers on Monday — giving away bargaining positions by a key U.S. ally, while predicting success that all sides in the talks said was premature. Biden, eating ice cream with the host of NBC’s Late Night with Seth Myers, said that he hoped for a “ceasefire” by next Monday. He did not specify whether he meant a temporary or permanent ceasefire, and both Israel and Hamas said there was no such deal. Reports, in fact, emerged on Monday that Hamas had rejected the terms...

In a now-viral interview, a New York University student who was suspended after being caught tearing down posters of Hamas' Israeli hostages claims she was temporarily barred from the school only after the university faced pressure from "people with wealth and power." Freshman student Hafiza Khalique told BreakThrough News she lost her scholarship in the wake of the incident, leaving her without access to either on- or off-campus housing and without "any higher education until fall 2024." Khalique was among three students recorded in October ripping down the posters displayed outside the Stern School of Business in Manhattan's Greenwich Village...

The U.N. is trash. This is obvious to anyone who pays even mild attention to the issue. While the U.N. has seemed to be a useful organization in the past (maybe), we can’t recall any time in our adult life where the U.N. has shown itself to be useful or, indeed, anything but a craven club for dictators. With that context in mind, the UNRWA is big mad that someone has called them out for it. UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees in the Near East, and they got very foot stompy on Twitter/X...

"...Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there was no deal yet to secure the release of some 240 hostages held by Hamas “as of now,” and dismissed “a lot of incorrect reports” in recent days about imminent agreements to free at least some of the hostages.

[Make sure to read Daniel Greenfield’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]On city streets and on campuses across the country, posters of kidnapped Jewish families, women and children are being torn down by Hamas supporters. Why are they doing it?Students for Justice in Palestine at Drew University issued a statement claiming that the posters of abducted children “use triggering and insensitive language” and “delegitimize the need for Palestinian resistance”.Drew’s SJP chapter had responded to the Hamas massacres, rapes and kidnappings by hailing them as “an act of resistance” against the “Zionist Imperialist...

In her speech at a state dinner held in her honor at the Knesset Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Dem.-CA) vowed to present Israel's case to the leaders of Syria. Her speech was uniformly supportive of Israel, and she received a standing ovation at the end. Pelosi spoke emotionally about her meetings with the families of the kidnapped soldiers and dramatically held up the soldiers' dog tags, which she said she displays prominently at her office in Congress and she would bring with her to Damascus. "I will send a message to the president of Syria from the families of...
