Key bits: "A new poll released Tuesday finds a dramatic surge in Palestinian support for Hamas following last month’s Gaza war"; "The poll found that 53% of Palestinians believe Hamas is “most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people,” while only 14% prefer Abbas’ secular Fatah party."

A mass brawl ensued outside a high-profile Hollywood screening of a film showing the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas terrorists during their attack on Israel early last month. Aerial footage captured by a local ABC affiliate shows at least two groups brawling outside the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, Calif., Wednesday night following the screening of a 43-minute film of Hamas barbarity entitled Bearing Witness, which was organized by Israeli actress Gal Gadot. Police forcefully broke up the fights after arriving at the scene Wednesday night. Another video shows pro-Palestinian protesters attacking people who were attending or supporting the screening.

Thousands of pro-Palestine supporters have descended on the streets of Washington D.C. demanding a ceasefire, waving signs calling Biden a 'child murderer'. The massive gathering is the latest demonstration against Israel's bombardment of Gaza, which has so far killed for than 9,250 people according to the state's health ministry. An estimated 30,000 protesters were expected to gather from 2pm at the city's Freedom Plaza before marching on a loop past the White House. The demonstrators are demanding an end to US military aid to Israel and the retaliatory strikes it has carried out on Gaza, which have been pounding the...

Tens of thousands of pro-Hamas/Palestinian demonstrators marched in downtown DC on Saturday demanding a ‘cease fire.’ “We’re here to say we support freedom for Palestine,” ANSWER Coalition media coordinator Walter Smolarek said, according to NBC Washington. “We’re here to demand a cease-fire now. We demand an end to the massacre of civilians in Gaza.” “We’re gathered here because we believe that the Palestinian people have the right to live in freedom, have the right to live in peace and without being subjected to constant bombardments, to constant imprisonment, harassment, the occupation of their land,” Smolarek said. A massive group of...

An MP is urging the government to consider deploying the military to ensure there is no disruption to Remembrance Day after pro-Palestine demonstrators said they intended to hold a ‘million-man’ march on November 11. Crawley MP Henry Smith told the Express: “After consecutive weekends of demonstrations where the Cenotaph and other national monuments have been grossly disrespected, it’s completely inappropriate for further protests to be held over Remembrance weekend. “I don’t have confidence in the Mayor of London or Metropolitan Police under him to properly handle the situation given their past poor record, and call on the Government to consider...

I don’t care if you’re out on the street, waving your flag and chanting your slogans. We won’t die silently the way you want us to… I don’t care that you sympathize with Hamas. I know you wouldn’t tolerate any of the things they did to us if they would’ve done it to you. I don’t care that you’re outraged by Israel’s response to the massacre more than the massacre itself. I don’t care that this doesn’t fit neatly into your carefully constructed narrative of ‘Israel as aggressor’ and ‘Palestinian as victim I know you would do everything to eliminate...

Police dragged away pro-Palestinian protestors for disrupting a Tuesday Senate hearing on the Biden administration’s national security supplemental funding request for $75 billion for Ukraine and Israel. The demonstration signals a growing undercurrent of antisemitic ideology within the Democrat Party after Israel launched defensive measures to counter Hamas terrorism on October 7. The protestors interrupted testifying Biden administration officials and presiding Democrat senators with disorderly conduct unbecoming of a Senate hearing. Many protestors held raised hands splattered in red hue for the television cameras to capture behind the witnesses.

Muslim-American leaders told President Joe Biden in a small private meeting Thursday he and his administration needed to show more empathy toward Palestinian lives and pushed back on his comment this week casting doubt on civilian death figures in Gaza provided by the health ministry there, according to two of the attendees. The meeting, described as frank and productive, also included calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. It came amid frustrations in the community over the White House’s handling of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The president was receptive to the group’s concerns and sought to clarify his comment...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — “Stop the bombs and save lives!” the Palestinian ambassador pleaded at an emotional U.N. meeting Thursday on the war in Gaza. But Israel’s envoy was adamant, declaring again, “We will not rest until Hamas is obliterated.” At the assembly’s resumed emergency special session on Israeli actions in the Palestinian territories Thursday, speaker after speaker backed the Arab resolution’s cease-fire call — except for Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Gilad Erdan, who told the 193-member world body, “A cease-fire means giving Hamas time to rearm itself, so they can massacre us again.” After quoting several Hamas statements vowing to...

@Nigel_Farage Enough is enough! Denmark took in 321 Palestinian refugees in 1992. By 2019, 64% had been convicted of a crime (including 34% of their children too). A very large portion were also on welfare. Britain must not make the same mistake!

The Tánaiste has announced an “immediate” €13 million aid package for Palestinian people following recent violence in the Middle East. Micheál Martin said the aid package includes €10 million for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and €3 million for the UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs. Speaking in the Dáil, Mr. Martin called on European Union and regional partners “to step up now to provide whatever financial support they can to UNRWA”, the agency to which Ireland is giving its “unwavering support”. He said that Ireland’s assistance to Palestinians was to have been €16 million this year, but this...

King Abdullah of Jordan. (Credit: Collin Rugg/X)As the Israel–Hamas war rages on, Jordan’s King Abdullah isn’t throwing out the welcome mat to refugees uprooted by the crisis, and neither is Gaza's neighbor, Egypt. In fact, Abdullah said, no refugees allowed:Jordan's King Abdullah on Tuesday warned against trying to push Palestinian refugees into Egypt or Jordan, adding that the humanitarian situation must to be [sic] dealt with inside Gaza and the West Bank."That is a red line, because I think that is the plan by certain of the usual suspects to try and create de facto issues on the ground. No...

Choice: protect our homeland or surrender to the borderless globalists? For three years now, America’s sovereignty and safety have already been vaporized enough by Biden But the leftists, predictably, want even more. Now, they pine for a mass importation of Palestinian refugees into America. Fire alarm-pulling Congressman Jamaal Bowman of New York declared that “the United States should be prepared to welcome refugees from Palestine.” Following the horrific terror attacks upon Israel from Hamas and the resulting swift Israeli Defense Forces response, American globalists ascertain yet another opportunity to import a wave of unvetted migrants likely to bring violence and...

... This can be averaged to 68.75 rounded to 69.This figure needs to be corrected because the test was administered to groups rather than individually and the test has been standardized in Britain for individual administration. A previous study has shown that in an Arab sample of this age group that took the test individually and in groups, the group administration gave a score 12.5 IQ points lower than individual administration (Bakhiet & Lynn, 2014). Thus, we propose that 12.5 needs to be added to the 69 to give 81.5 as the best estimate of the British-scaled IQ of the...

The patterns of the anti-Semitic/Marxist/”Palestinian”/LGBTQ/BLM/hate-filled alliance are nothing if not predictable. After expressing shock and dismay that their Palestinian friends in Gaza specifically targeted civilians, in under a week, they have quickly shifted back to their repeated old rhetoric. They are now blaming Israel for the horrific attacks from Hamas, calling Israel’s counter-attacks on Hamas a “terrorist siege,” blitzing the media with images of wounded from Gaza, and attacking Israel in all ways as an ‘apartheid state’ and, as Ocasio Cortez defined Israel, a nation devoted to “ethnic cleansing”.

Progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) directed the U.S. to accept some of the 1 million Palestinian refugees.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNWRA) warned Friday of the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, after Israel's order for people in the north of the enclave to evacuate south. "The call from the Israelis Forces to move more than 1 million civilians living in northern Gaza... is horrendous. This will only lead to unprecedented levels of misery and further push people in Gaza into abyss," UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement. UNWRA described the scale and speed on the humanitarian crisis as "bone-chilling." "Gaza is fast becoming a hell...

It’s a fair question, “What the hell is wrong with the people of Gaza?” after witnessing the atrocities of last weekend, including now-confirmed reports of murdered Jewish babies, some of them beheaded. But the question is much bigger than this week’s expanded conflict, which did not begin in a vacuum. ...Even if I were a Gazan in good standing, dedicated to the destruction of Israel, I imagine I’d be pretty upset if my local officials were tearing up the neighborhood’s water pipes to make weapons. Sure, ‘Kill the Jews’ and all that but I’d still like some fresh water for...

Water cannon and tear gas were used to disperse a banned pro-Palestine rally in Paris tonight as French police moved to arrest its organisers. It followed the country's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin saying there was 'no place' for such protests against the Gaza War following Saturday's terrorist atrocities. Crowds built up around Republic square in the French capital on Thursday, chanting 'Free Palestine', 'End the Siege of Gaza', 'Israel murderer' and 'Macron accomplice' - in reference to the French President's backing of Israel. Hundreds gathered brandishing Palestinian flags, and other symbols showing their support for one side in the Arab-Israeli...

The main lesson for Israel from the hideous Hamas attacks suffered over the weekend is a simple one: Terrorists can’t be managed. For decades, Israel worked with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA) by combining incentives on the one hand with controlled military responses on the other. Major attacks, including rockets from Gaza last May, prompted retaliation, usually with air power, and a subsequent cease-fire, often brokered by Egypt. When Iranian-sponsored militias set up weaponry in the West Bank, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted on-the-ground operations in Jenin and Nablus. In the case of Hezbollah, Israel allowed the US...
