Greta Thunberg and her posse of international activists will be forced to watch footage of the Oct. 7 terror attack after Israeli forces intercepted their Gaza-bound “selfie yacht,” Israel’s defense minister revealed Monday. Israel Defense Forces captured and boarded the Madleen, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, after the Swedish activist and the others on board tried to break the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip — just hours after Israeli officials demanded they call off the stunt. ... “I congratulate the IDF for the quick and safe takeover of the ‘Madleen’ flotilla to prevent them from breaking the blockade...

During the fighting in the Gaza Strip, Israel managed to capture a local Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) agent, who admitted during his interrogation that he had been operating as a double agent. The agent revealed that his role was to lull Israel’s defense establishment into a false sense of security on the eve of Hamas’s deadly terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. According to a report published on Channel 12 News on Tuesday evening, the agent lied to Shin Bet officials in a conversation held just hours before the attack. In that conversation, he stated, “There is no preparation...

Pics of terrorists coming out in nothing but undershirts. A few weeks ago, during an 188th Brigade operation under the command of the 36th Division in Rafah's Shabura neighborhood, a Hamas platoon commander who participated in the October 7th Massacre and was in charge of holding several Israeli hostages, who were released, as well as a commander in Hamas's sniper array, surrendered and were apprehended. Troops found several knives on the terrorists.

A New York federal judge has denied the Trump administration’s bid to dismiss the legal challenge brought by Mahmoud Khalil, the recent Columbia graduate and Palestinian activist who was detained by immigration enforcement agents earlier this month, and has ordered the case transferred to New Jersey. Khalil, a permanent US resident with a green card who helped lead Columbia University’s pro-Palestinian protests last spring, was arrested in New York on 8 March by federal immigration authorities. He was transferred first to New Jersey and then to Louisiana, where he is currently detained. The Trump administration sought his deportation but two...

The Child Murderers of Gaza. The Bibas children are the latest victims of the child killers of Islam. February 21, 2025 by Daniel Greenfield. “O God, do not be silent; hold not Thy peace, and be not still,” the Chief Rabbi of Israel prayed the words of Psalm 83 over the bodies of two murdered children, their mother and an old man. Hamas and PLO terrorists had mockingly paraded their coffins to the cheers and jeers of Muslim men, women and children occupying Gaza while upbeat music played, they had mixed up the bodies, locked the boxes and then attached...

We must never forget. Five-hundred days. Exactly 500 days ago, the world saw some of the most evil and heinous crimes ever perpetrated by humanity. Hamas attacked Israel from Gaza. They didn't attack military bases or soldiers. Instead, they demonstrated themselves to be the personification of evil as they consciously attacked civilians -- specifically the weak, old, female, and sick. We must never forget. Hamas performed acts that are consonant with the acts of demons, and they videotaped their own disgusting actions with the pride of insane beasts. They raped and tortured children and young women. They beheaded civilians and...

Senior Hamas Official Khalil Al-Hayya Upon Signing Ceasefire Agreement: October 7 Will Continue To Be A Source Of Pride; Our People Served As An 'Impenetrable Shield' For The Resistance; Israel's Supporters Will Be Punished, Even If It Takes Time.

The IAF conducted an IDF and ISA intelligence-based strike, eliminating the terrorist Abd al-Hadi Sabah, a Nukhba Platoon Commander in the Western Khan Yunis Battalion. The terrorist operated from a shelter in the Humanitarian Area in Khan Yunis. Abd al-Hadi Sabah was one of the leaders of the infiltration into Kibbutz Nir Oz during the murderous October 7th Massacre. Moreover, throughout the war, Sabah led and advanced numerous terrorist attacks against IDF troops. Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions, intelligence, and aerial surveillance. "The IDF and ISA...

"I didn't understand until now what your people are going through": Interview with the Australian presenter who supports Israel. Journalist Erin Mullen has been in the field for two decades, but nothing prepared her for the past year • Since 10/7, she has taken a clear pro-Israel stance and spoken out against Hamas • However, she is forced to pay a price: her show on Sky was canceled and she even received threats on her life • In a conversation with Weekend News, Mullen spoke about what is happening in Australian public discourse, shared her concerns and revealed: "I am...

As someone who has dedicated her career to helping others, I thought I was doing good work with like-minded people who wanted to leverage their expertise to create a more inclusive, equitable and positive community. In fact, my previous professional role — working as a mental health clinician at a Silicon Valley chapter of a national nonprofit dedicated to eliminating racism and empowering women — was supposed to accomplish just that. Then Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and I quickly realized that Jews were excluded from my nonprofit’s mission. For a few days, my chapter said nothing about...

President-elect Donald Trump vowed there would be "all Hell to pay" when he takes office should Oct. 7 hostages remain in custody at that time. His remarks came more than one year after Hamas launched a surprise raid on Israel, killing roughly 1,200 civilians and taking hundreds of hostages. The Israel Defense Forces invaded the Gaza Strip in retaliation and fighting has persisted since.

Itay Shabi: ''For five hours I hid under a tree, when the terrorists passed by my side. I felt that God protected me from the terrorists. That morning of Simchat Torah, Shabi started it with me like most of the residents of the Gaza Envelope with a series of loud alarms and explosions. "Immediately we understood that we were at war. The intensity of the barrages left no doubt that we were in an event on an unusual scale. Something we had never experienced before. However, in the first few minutes we did not understand what was happening, but we...

But rather than sympathy, hatred grows for the Jewish state One full year after October 7, the nation of Israel is still traumatized and many of its people are still in agony. One full year later, there are still scores of hostages languishing in Gaza, if not dead, and their families remain in daily agony. One full year later, the war with Hamas continues, but now there is also war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as possible war with Iran itself. One full year later, rather than sympathy for Israel growing it is hatred for Israel that is growing.One...

There’s been a year of gaslighting, denialism, hatred and war but let’s remember how it started. With thousands of terrorists and ordinary civilians invading Israel and murdering, kidnapping and raping civilians. This is a clip from a new documentary which will be on Channel 4 on Wednesday called One Day in October. It’s taken from Hamas cameras and shows their glee as they get close to Kibbutz Be’eri - a socialist kibbutz where many people from Gaza worked - and their plans for the civilians who live there: ‘It’s time for the nation of Jihad! Be’eri! I swear to God...

How the @NYTimes censors calls to violence (and actual violence) at anti-Israel protests The New York Times reported on the Gaza protests in Manhattan yesterday. The photo caption says, "Demonstrators blocked streets in Lower Manhattan to call for a cease-fire in Gaza on the first anniversary of the Hamas-led attacks on Israel." The "Cease Fire Now" sign is prominently highlighted as the main photo of the article. The New York Daily News also shows that same sign. But they show it as it was seen for most of the march - behind several other much larger banners that led the...

Argentine President Javier Milei posted a message on social media in Hebrew to mark the anniversary of the Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, demanding the return of Israel’s hostages to freedom. Milei’s message was both a declaration of support for Israel as it continues its self-defense operations against the Hamas jihadist organization in Gaza and its allies in Lebanon and a reminder to the world that Argentina lost citizens to the mass abductions that took place on October 7. At least seven Argentines are believed to be among the 101 people abducted from Israel on October 7, 2023,...
