    The IDF says it has detected preparations by Hezbollah to launch rockets and missiles and is preemptively striking in Lebanon “to remove the threat.” Fighter jets are striking Hezbollah targets that “posed an imminent threat to the citizens of the State of Israel,” the army says, adding that “life-saving instructions” will be sent out in some parts of the country. Alarms are meanwhile sounding in several northern communities.

    The pro-Palestinian group Abandon Biden revealed Friday that it embarked on its “Abandon Harris” campaign earlier this week. The campaign is devoted to ensuring Vice President Kamala Harris loses the presidential election. The group, which remains registered under “Abandon Biden,” announced in a release their “mission is now laser-focused on exposing and opposing Kamala Harris and her complicity in genocide.” The group, which asserts that “appealing to the conscience of the Democratic Party is a waste of time,” wrote that the party has shown it “has no interest in ending” what it calls a “genocide” in Gaza.

The Russian prison service said four guards had been killed and three injured in the attack. Four of the attackers were killed by snipers as the Russian commandos stormed the prison late...

    A group called "Muslim Women for Harris-Walz" is disbanding after the Uncommitted National Movement said it was told a Palestinian American speaker couldn't address the Democratic National Convention.... "We cannot in good conscience, continue Muslim Women for Harris-Walz, in light of this new information from the Uncommitted movement, that VP Harris' team declined their request to have a Palestinian American speaker take the stage at the DNC," the group said in a statement posted on Instagram. The group said the family of an Israeli hostage "has shown more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians, than our candidate or the DNC...

    The Kamala campaign is just Oprah with even less substance so it was little surprise when the portly talk show racist showed up at the DNC to cheer her on to her target audience that has dedicated its lives to abortion and celebrity gossip. Oprah warned, “we won’t go back, we won’t be sent back, pushed back, bullied back, kicked back. We’re not going back.” Then the celebrity who spent a generation shamelessly milking her audience claimed that “values and character matter most of all.” And if anyone can find an example of that in Oprah’s life, good luck. “Let...

  • Khamenei’s Crisis Tactics Amid Haniyeh’s death

    08/22/2024 7:14:40 AM PDT · by hassan.mahmoud · 3 replies
    Khamenei never expected to be in such a difficult position during his rule. History shows that dictators, drunk on power, often think they can stay in control forever through repression, war, and creating crises. A tired IRGC spokesperson, using the Arbaeen observance (The Shia religious observance In Islam) as an excuse, promised revenge but hinted that it might take time. He said, “When it comes to revenge, time is on our side, and the wait might be longer than expected. Brave and wise commanders do not act rashly.” Khamenei is at an impasse due to: 1.A discontented society on the...

    When the Jewish State has to go it alone. The New York Times insists that if Israel rejects the Bidenites’ advice to pull out of Gaza, it does so at its peril: “NYT admits US officials were wrong about the IDF in October, and wrong about Rafah, but thinks they are right now,” Elder of Ziyon, August 15, 2024:So these officials were completely wrong in October. They were also wrong about Israel’s taking Rafah, which they now admit is exactly what destroyed Hamas’ supply lines from Egypt – and cost far fewer casualties thna they had confidently predicted.By ignoring warnings...

    US officials believe that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar wants to strike a deal with Israel since he is "trapped" underground and running out of ammunition and supplies, Washington Post journalist David Ignatius wrote in an opinion column on Wednesday. With their desire for a deal to end their misery, Ignatius notes that Hamas is "playing a waiting game," hoping that Iran or Hezbollah will attack Israel, a move that would transform the battlefield. However, he writes that Iran will likely disappoint Hamas. He reports that US officials estimate that Iranian leaders have decided to delay their strike on Israel, deterred...

    MSN ^ | 8/20/2024
    In a move that has sparked significant debate, the Biden-Harris administration has recently renewed a sanctions waiver for Iran’s state-controlled broadcaster, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). This decision, detailed in a non-public notification to Congress on August 9, 2024, permits the IRIB to engage in financial transactions essential for its operations, despite its role in disseminating anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda. The IRIB, which oversees a broad range of media outlets, including television, radio, and news services, has faced criticism for broadcasting content that promotes radical and violent ideologies. Since Hamas’s unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, 2023,...

    The chaos outside the DNC came inside the house on Tuesday when anti-Israel protestors crashed Stephen Colbert’s live CBS broadcast, disrupting what was supposed to be a fluff interview with Nancy Pelosi. Stephen Colbert was interviewing former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) about her new book when shouting was heard from the audience, prompting producers to halt the interview. “The subject is on Israel and Palestine and if you have a seat, we have to go to commercial break,” a clearly peeved Colbert said.

    Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of Code Pink, a radical anti-war group, told Breitbart News on Monday that she would not tell people to vote for, or against, Vice President Kamala Harris over her Israel policies.Benjamin led about two dozen Code Pink activists in the pro-Palestinian march from Union Park to the United Center, the venue for the Democratic National Convention. Some carried anti-Israel (and antisemitic) signs, such as "Democrats are bought by Zionism," playing on classic antisemitic themes of Jews and money. (Benjamin is Jewish.)Benjamin and Code Pink tend to focus their attacks on conservatives, but are giving vent to...

    What do the stabbings in Israel, the assaults on Hindus in Bangladesh, the Muslim mobs roaming English cities and the massacres of Christians in Nigeria all have in common? The politically correct answer is nothing. And that’s why the politically correct answer condones, justifies or ignores the violence. Islamic attacks on non-Muslim majorities in India, Europe, America or Israel are justified as resistance by the oppressed, but violence by Muslim majorities against non-Muslim minorities in Indonesia, Nigeria and Bangladesh were justified by claims that the Muslim majority was economically disenfranchised. Muslim violence is always excused by false claims of victimhood....

    Iran is in no position to fight a long-term war with Israel and even asked the US to intervene to prevent a possible large-scale Israeli retaliation to any Iranian attack, according to Mohsen Sazegara, founder of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in an exclusive interview with The Jerusalem Post. The IRGC was founded shortly after the 1979 revolution in Iran to protect the Islamic Republic’s religious control over the country, and to act as a counterbalance to the regular Iranian Army, many of whose officers were still loyal to the Shah of Iran, and therefore could not be trusted...
