The Hamas terror group calls for mass rallies in the West Bank, Jerusalem and throughout the Arab and Muslim world on Friday in support of its fight against Israel. The group hails the achievements of its armed wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam, and calls on young Palestinians in the West Bank to “rise up and go out in roaring crowds,” and clash with settlers and soldiers in the area. It also addresses Arab Israelis, asking them to gather at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa compound, the Temple Mount, to prevent Jews from “desecrating it” and “building on it.”

Israeli civilians killed by Palestinian militants in the city of Sderot on October 7, 2023. If the choice is between killing the Jews and having their own state, the Palestinians invariably choose the killing. Several of my acquaintances and even more strangers on social media believe that Hamas's attack on Israel is "somewhere justified". They repeat the accusation, still concocted by the KGB, that Israel is "colonizing" the ancient Palestinian land, and that the Palestinians, driven from their poor land, have no choice but desperate "resistance". I cannot go too far back in time to explain the origins of...

Civilians in Gaza sheltered in fear amid constant bombardments targeting residential buildings and communications infrastructure on Monday, as Israeli officials vowed to further tighten a punishing siege of the densely populated enclave. “I can see the plumes of smoke from the bombings through my window,” said Rama Abu Amra, 21, from south of Gaza City. She screamed as the bang of a nearby explosion could be heard. “The bombs are falling all around us, we can’t even tell where they’re hitting. I can even smell the gunpowder now,” said the university student. “It’s so scary. We don’t know what’s happening...

Israeli authorities have not yet provided specific details about the number and identities of the kidnapped victims, however, a preliminary assessment shared by one senior military official with the New York Times suggests at least 150 people have been captured. Among them are 5-year-old Raz and 3-year-old Aviv, their devastated father, Yoni Asher, revealed Monday. Asher’s entire world came crashing...

The dead in Israel are closing in on a thousand now, or the equivalent, proportionately, of ten 9/11s. John Podhoretz sums up Saturday October 7th this way: The single day on which more Jews died and were wounded than any other since the Nazi death camps eight decades ago. In contrast to eight decades ago, as the death toll climbs, jubilations in western cities grow ever more delirious. New York: At a Hamas celebration rally outside the @IsraelinNewYork consulate, a speaker recounts the deadly Islamist attacks on the music festival in southern Israel that killed hundreds of civilians. The crowd...

Chicago's mayor-elect said the city should not demonize the teens who organized a 'Teen Takeover' of the Loop over the weekend, even after the event turned violent with cars burnt cars and minors shot.

Hundreds of teenagers stormed the streets of downtown Chicago, smashing car windows, attacking bystanders and sending panicked tourists running from the sound of gunfire. "Where are their parents at, that's my question," a woman who identified as a Chicago native told Fox 32 as the unruly scene played out in Downtown Chicago Saturday night. Fox 32 cameras captured video of teenagers flooding the streets while police struggled to restore order to the area. Large groups of teens were seen blasting music from Bluetooth speakers and spilling in front of traffic, with some attempting to gain access to the city's Millennium...

Afghan refugees who were rescued and brought back to the US have been accused of being racist and sexist towards those helping them, a bombshell report has found.Some of them are said to have launched verbal abuse at staff and even turned their noses up at accommodation they were given.

'[Resettlement agency] officials told OIG that the [Afghan Placement and Assistance Program] involved some of the most significant challenges that they had ever faced,' the report, as seen by Fox News, stated. My heart breaks for folks in (for example) a small town in North/South Dakota who have 5 Trashcanistani families (you can't settle them without a "social network" and have to deal with new neighbors who defecate outside, let their goats roam free range and use their yards as a garbage dump. Who's offspring see largess as weakness to be exploited. This is a body shot to Traditional America.

As you may recall, one part of New York City’s brilliant plan to deal with the flood of illegal migrants being shipped to the Big Apple from our open southern border was to commandeer some of the city’s pricey hotels (at taxpayer expense) and convert them into “temporary” shelters. Two of the businesses appropriated in this fashion are the once-elegant Row NYC in Manhattan and the Watson Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen. I say “once-elegant” because investigative reporters have been touring both of these establishments and finding that they are no longer recognizable. One worker at Row NYC has spilled the...
