JERUSALEM -- Israel announced Sunday it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza. The full effects were not immediately clear, but the arid territory's desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water. Hamas called it part of Israel's “starvation policy." Israel last week cut off supplies of goods to the territory of over 2 million Palestinians, an echo of the siege it imposed in the earliest days of its war with Hamas. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassam called it part of Israel's “starvation policy, in clear disregard for all international laws and norms.” He said Israel has ”practically" cut off...

Trump's marketing of transfer as solution for Gaza's distress misleads and absolves them of their crimes; Don't beautify reality: Masses of "uninvolved" there were deeply involved in massacre, kidnappings and war, rightfully earning their removal. Let's talk about Gaza's residents. Let's discuss them again now because the new Trump narrative about them – regardless of whether motivated by real estate or international legal considerations – packages them in a confusing and misleading way. The relocation idea itself isn't bad, but the reasoning behind it is flawed. The Gazans are not unfortunate and pitiful victims of the war who need to...

If the world is serious about ending Palestinian suffering, it must hold Arab rulers accountable for deliberately sustaining this conflict. For decades, Arab nations have positioned themselves as staunch supporters of the Palestinian cause, yet their actions suggest otherwise. Although they publicly denounce Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, behind closed doors, many Arab leaders have systematically worked to prevent a permanent resolution to the Palestinian issue. Nowhere is this hypocrisy more evident than in the refusal of most Arab states — particularly Jordan — to integrate Palestinians, despite historical, demographic, and geopolitical realities that make Jordan the most viable...

A bulldozer tears huge chunks out of buildings in an emptied-out Palestinian neighbourhood. It is not clearing rubble, this is a demolition project - methodical and devastating. Nominally, Iron Wall is about rooting out militant groups, to stop another 7 October attack from originating in the restive refugee camps of Jenin or Tulkarm. Politically it meets demands by the extreme far right in Benjamin Netanyahu's government who want a return to war in Gaza. That is why it was launched just days after the Gaza ceasefire was agreed. According to the UN, 40,000 people have already been displaced. ... Donald...

Palestinians are parading the bodies of Israeli BABIES in coffins, as they blast loud music and celebrate. What kind of sick society is this?!

The Nazis didn’t do this. The KKK didn’t do this. Despite claims that are circulating, the Israelis never did this, and even the claims that they have killed babies remain unsubstantiated at best. No one did this. The celebration of evil, the glorification of murder, the cheering at the sight of the coffins of murdered innocent civilians, including a tiny baby — this is a savagery, a bloodlust, that the world has never seen before. And these are the people whom the left is convinced are the innocent victims of a rapacious Israeli war machine. The gap between the left’s...

Some of the most well-known Jewish creatives, including actor Joaquin Phoenix, playwright Tony Kushner, and comedian Ilana Glazer, joined 350 rabbis on Thursday to call for an end to US President Donald Trump's plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza. The group made the call on Thursday in a full-page ad in The New York Times entitled, “Jewish People Say No to Ethnic Cleansing!”... “Jewish leaders from across the political spectrum are outraged by the proposal and felt compelled to speak forcefully against it, even as some American and Israeli Jewish communal leaders endorse Trump’s plan,” a statement from Cody Edgerly,...

As the first incredible month of Trump 2.0 continues, the Israeli cabinet announced on Tuesday its full support of President Donald Trump's ultimatum to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas to release all its remaining hostages by noon on Saturday or, in the president's words, "all hell is going to break out."An Israeli official told Fox News on Tuesday that the cabinet's declaration came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his security cabinet after Hamas announced it would delay the next release of Israeli hostages. Netanyahu said in a statement:The decision I passed in the Cabinet unanimously is this: If...

A man with the Palestinian flag got onto the field at the Superdome during halftime but was tackled by security

The Palestinian Authority just paid out over $140 million to terrorists who Israel released as part of the ceasefire deal. Terrorists get rewarded for killing as part of a "pay-for-slay" program. We are literally funding terrorism.

Trump answering reporters: 1.30.25. (Monents ago). "They are going to do it. We do a lot for them. So They are going to do it."

President Donald Trump is ordering the deportation of foreign students who took part in pro-Hamas protests on college campuses in the US as he launches a wide-ranging crackdown on anti-Semitism. Trump said he would instruct his Justice Department to 'aggressively prosecute terroristic threats, arson, vandalism and violence against American Jews'. He added: 'To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice... we will find you, and we will deport you. 'I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathisers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never...

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday he’d like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “just clean out” the war-torn area to create a virtual clean slate.During a 20-minute question-and-answer session with reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday, Trump also said he’s ended his predecessor’s hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. That lifts a pressure point that had been meant to reduce civilian casualties during Israel’s war with Hamas in...

Within moments of returning to the Oval Office on Monday, President Donald Trump got to work signing a flurry of executive orders. One of them is focused on "protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and other national security and public safety threats." That's bad news for pro-terrorist visas holders causing trouble on college campuses by advocating for terrorist organizations like Hamas. "The Secretary of Homeland Security shall take immediate steps to exclude or remove that alien unless she determines that doing so would inhibit a significant pending investigation or prosecution of the alien for a serious criminal offense or...

Columbia University suspends student following a disruption earlier this week during a class on Israeli history, in which protesters distributed flyers with “violent imagery”....Pro-Palestinian Arab demonstrators at Columbia set up dozens of tents in April of last year, demanding that the university divest from its Israeli assets. The university administration called in police to dismantle the encampments.

Hamas terrorists “hold back” the Gazan mob menacing Israeli hostage Doron Steinbrecher at the moment of her release. To all those in the west who have perpetrated the lie of Israeli genocide in Gaza for the past 15 months: look at the pictures of the mob surrounding the three Israel women hostages who were freed today, and see thousands of Gazans who are well-fed, well-groomed and well-dressed. What do you have to say now about the murderous libel you have perpetrated against the Israeli victims of these people, the lie that the Israelis were deliberately starving them, that they were...

In his last interview as President, Joe Biden claimed that Israel could not sustain itself without a commitment to a Palestinian state.

Apparently nothing in the world can happen without it being about Palestinians. Climate change, Black Lives Matter, women’s rights, the Olympics, COVID-19, LGBTQ rights, Christmas and now the California fires. The disgusting responses from Palestinian activists across social media shows the true hateful agenda of the “free Palestine” cult. Enough.

If Team Biden had called out the phony reports of famine and "genocide" from the start, and fully backed Israel's defensive war, the fighting might well have ended by now, writes the Post Editorial Board. Team Biden is slamming a report that warns of famine in northern Gaza. What a difference an election makes. Team Biden is blasting claims of famine in Gaza ... Indeed, if Team Biden had called out the phony reports of famine and “genocide” from the start, and fully backed Israel’s defensive war, the fighting might well have ended by now. On the bright side: A...
