Why Hamas must be driven completely out of all areas where it's located

A vital point made by Yehuda Ifrach about why the Hamas cannot be allowed to continue existence in any area where it's dominating, and also how Haaretz is again proving an abominable newspaper:
The inflammatory remarks by Haaretz editor Amos Schocken at a conference in England – where he labeled Palestinian terrorists as "freedom fighters" – is not the biggest hit his newspaper has produced during this war. That harsh anti-Israel speech was general and didn't address specific events. The newspaper's new campaign – defining IDF operations in northern Gaza as war crimes – is not only more focused but could potentially trigger criminal proceedings against IDF officers in international tribunals.

Haaretz has dedicated multiple "investigations" and editorials to this topic. Meanwhile, writers like Tomer Persico are pushing messages such as "What's happening in northern Gaza is a massive war crime... They're trying to unnecessarily expel civilians from their homes and besiege them to death through starvation."

This campaign reflects both ignorance of international law and a strategic misunderstanding of Israel's challenge. The IDF consistently adheres to humanitarian law principles established in the Hague and Geneva Conventions. The principle of proportionality is maintained, and the extensive destruction in Gaza stems solely from the depth of the problem Israel faces.

Both the Lebanese government and what remains of Hamas could end the war tomorrow by simply agreeing to Israel's elementary demands. In Lebanon, this means disarming Hezbollah, preventing rearmament from the east, and demilitarizing the area south of the Litani. Under such an arrangement, Lebanon would not be able to rebuild Shiite villages adjacent to the fence but would not lose its sovereign territory. In Gaza, it means dismantling Hamas rule, exiling surviving organization leaders, and accepting external mechanisms to manage civilian life in Gaza. From that moment, there would be no more shelling or casualties.
That's something Haaretz's staffers clearly aren't willing to back convincingly. They've been responsible for some of the worst internal problems Israel faces, and it's a tragedy any other leftists will give them financial backing.

Wouldn't teaching civilized values be a better way to describe this situation in New Zealand?

So here's a writer at the Federalist who's raising the issue of Maori members of New Zealand's parliament who caused a ruckus over a bill they didn't like, and arguing this is why native cultures must be assimilated, yet even this argument is not without flaws. What is vital for consideration from a historical viewpoint is the following:
Before the arrival of the British, the Maori routinely engaged in ritual cannibalism and human sacrifice, mostly related to warfare. A tribe’s warriors would perform the haka, go off to fight, and then consume the flesh of slain enemies afterward.

In fact, the very haka performed by the House members on Thursday (the title of which translates to “It is death”) was created by a Maori chief who had escaped capture and consumption by an enemy tribe.

Though the Maori and leftist scholars have tried to downplay (and still do) the frequency and significance of cannibalism in Maori culture for decades, New Zealand historian Paul Moon extensively documented instances of cannibalism in his book This Horrid Practice, drawing on European accounts going back to the legendary Captain James Cook in the 1770s.

Moon also noted that the Maori practiced infanticide. Their warrior culture prized male babies, so mothers would sometimes smother female infants or push their fingers through the soft part of their skulls.

As they did elsewhere in the world, the British extirpated cannibalism and human sacrifice in New Zealand after the Treaty of Waitangi to such an extent that many historians doubted that the practices had taken place at all.

Maori revisionists have claimed that the haka can represent a greeting or a “celebration of life,” but any rational observer can conclude that the Te Pāti Māori members did not intend their Thursday haka as a greeting or celebration.
To be sure, this is disturbingly reminiscent of how in modern times, huge efforts are made by apologists for Islam to obscure every form of barbarism that was ever performed in the name of the Religion of Peace. And obscuring/erasing specific histories is wrong. But there's a decided flaw in this item that needs to be pondered:
And it’s not impossible to assimilate foreign cultures. The United States did it very successfully up until a few decades ago — when we made the conscious decision to stop trying. European history has seen dozens if not hundreds of cultures assimilated (see any culture that fell under Roman hegemony). All it takes is the confidence that your culture is more moral and more dedicated to the improvement of human life. When the culture you’re trying to assimilate is engaging in or glorifying cannibalism and human sacrifice, that shouldn’t be a hard stance to take.
As it so happens, the Romans weren't much better, seeing as they waged wars for the sake of violence, conducted slavery, forced some subjects into becoming gladiators, and Jews were also victimized by their nasty side. What's so "moral" about all that? Also, consider that Islam is eating up Europe now, along with north America, and if something isn't done soon, European culture will be assimilated with a most barbaric belief system you'd think the columnist wanted to oppose. But the way this is written, focusing so superficially on serious issues, one can't help but wonder if he's so desperate to make a point, he's willing to obscure history in his own way for the sake of sloppy virtue-signaling.

Of course it's vital to develop assimilation into more civilized beliefs. But whitewashing history of Romans, in example, won't acheieve that goal at all. As a result, one can only wonder if the writer's even interested in opposing Islam convincingly?

Video footage of Hamas torturing Gazans comes out

The Hamas terrorist organization isn't just the enemy of Israelis. They also visit horrors upon their own fellow Gazans:
The Israel Defense Forces released footage this week that was discovered inside Gaza that showed Hamas terrorists torturing Palestinian civilians.

“The same civilians that Hamas outspokenly claimed to be fighting for, are the same civilians being tortured in this video,”
the IDF said in a post that contained the video.

“Hamas is not only Israel’s enemy—they’re Gaza’s enemy also,” the post added.

IDF troops discovered what was described as “years’ worth of CCTV footage” of Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists torturing civilians in Gaza.

Israel said that the footage was evidence of Hamas’ “brutal methods for interrogating civilians, violating human rights, and systematically oppressing residents suspected of opposing the organization’s rule.”
None of this will make an iota of difference to the leftists who've long turned their backs on the victims of Islamofascism, unfortunately.

Jewish lesbian shunned by California LGBT movement because she supported Trump in defense of Israel

Over in the USA, a Jewish lesbian's learning what local LGBT movements really think of anybody who dares step off their plantation (via Breitbart):
A member of the LGBTQ community in Los Angeles says her friends are pushing her away after she voted for Donald Trump.

"I definitely feel like I’m on an island alone," said Tanya Tsikanovsky, who resides in LA's San Fernando Valley. "The queer people have turned their backs on me, and I’m queer, so it’s very painful."

According to Tsikanovsky, she worked in Iowa with the Hillary Clinton election campaign in 2016. Then, she voted for Joe Biden in 2020.

"I was absolutely that person who would say if you’re a Trump supporter, I don’t want you in my life," said Tsikanovsky. "I can say I regret that."

Beyond economic reasons and the United States’ southern border, Tsikanovsky says she shifted towards Trump because of her Jewish faith. According to Tsikanovsky, recent pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses made her think differently about the Democratic Party.

"Israel [changed my mind],"
said Tsikanovsky. "I am a Jew, and what was happening on campuses was appalling. They should have sent in the National Guard as soon as Jewish students were being blocked on campuses."

Soon after that, Tsikanovsky started sharing her new support for Trump on Instagram.

"I had like 50 unfollows right away," said Tsikanovsky.

Finally, after voting Republican in the election, Tsikanovsky says longtime friends and members of her LGBTQ basketball team started boxing her out.

"Ever since I publicly said I was voting for Trump, I am no longer welcome in the [LGBTQ] social spheres they provide,"
said Tsikanovsky. "If there was a birthday party I was invited to, I’m no longer able to attend. I think it’s disgusting someone can push me out of something [like this]. They liked me 2 weeks ago, and now they don’t, just because I voted for someone."
It definitely demonstrates how, more than just ignorance, some LGBT practitioners may not really be doing so because they believe in their ideology, but rather, to undermine civilized society, in the west and elsewhere, and when it comes to Islam, they're okay with its opposition to LGBT, with the worst part being that it might what to do with its being perverse and barbaric, not unlike their own practices involving transsexuality. Something Jewish lesbians should consider is that much of the LGBT movement's antisemitic/misogynistic, something the PC crowd would rather they not know, and being a leftist will not protect them from either bigotry. On top of all that, California's currently one of the worst places you could be in the USA.

The shocking truth about a Jewish woman-Muslim man relationship

An Israeli woman who survived an abusive marriage to a Muslim Man admits what really happened in it (via Jihad Watch):
Dana, a young Jewish woman who married an Arab, appeared 12 years ago on TV broadcast denouncing her Judaism, “After my child’s birth, I started reading from the Koran.” Now, she came back to share the full truth of her experience.

The headline of the news piece was “The Women Who Converted to Islam and Moved to the Territories,” and it was an attempt to show how mixed Jewish-Muslim couples live happily ever after.

“As is often the case, the road to the territories is through the heart,” said interviewer Ohad Hamu in the Channel 12 TV broadcast 12 years ago, describing with pathos the story of a young Jewish woman who had fallen in love with an Arab, converted to Islam and moved in with him in Yericho.

“When I start praying, a stone falls from my heart. I start to breathe,” said Yael (a pseudonym), wearing a black veil that revealed only her eyes.

“Between me and G-d, I am a Muslim,” she declared, spreading out a rug on which to bow down for Muslim prayer. “After my child’s birth, I didn’t say ‘Shema Yisrael,’ but started reading from the Koran. That’s what finalized things for me, no doubt about it.”

Her Muslim husband, photographed at her side, shared the story of how they met. In another scene, she is photographed with her mother-in-law hugging and smiling, while the interviewer jokes about her daughter-in-law’s Arabic accent.

“They start a new life, exposed to prejudice, to racism as well as to hatred,” says the interviewer, referring to how they are viewed by her Jewish family and friends. “I am not a free person. I am afraid. I am afraid of the religious organizations and my family.”

It is only towards the end of the segment when the real motive behind the broadcast becomes clear. The husband’s lawyer talks about how the Israeli authorities are making it difficult for him to receive a blue Israeli ID card, and hoping the piece will pressure them.

Looking back at that interview 12 years ago, the Jewish woman featured in the clip, who’s real name is Dana, admitted the truth. “We did the interview so he could get a blue ID card,” she conceded. “They forced me to take a picture with the veil and the prayer rug. I did everything they told me, like a robot. That’s how I was there, like a zombie, doing what I was told without question.”

It’s been about four years since Dana left the destructive, violent relationship, but the rehabilitation process is ongoing. “My exit from there was a miracle,” she tells leading Israeli interviewer Yinon Magal, in the hope that her story will lead others to sever their relationships with Muslim partners.

“I want to inspire real hope,”
she says. “I hear about what the female hostages went through in Gaza, and I understand them.”

Dana lived in Yericho for more than 10 years and bore five children to her Muslim husband before managing to escape, with the help of Yad L’Achim. Now, after the Simchas Torah massacre, she hopes that women in her previous situation will understand that they are being exploited and abused.

“The truth blew up in my face,”
she says. “In that interview with Channel 12, I said that I was an example of how Jewish-Muslim couples could live together, but that was simply not true. It was an unhappy life.”
So you see, long before October 7, 2023, there were horrific cases like these. Israeli women who foolishly converted to Islam, and wound up victims of violent spousal abuse over petty issues. Now, it remains to be seen how many will speak out against the repellent influence of the Religion of Peace.

The continuing horror of Islamic child marriage

Abdullah Bashar writes about Islam's backing for child marriage, all at the expense of the girls victimized by such an obscene, perverted practice, and the worst part, of course, is that:
In the view of all Muslim scholars (whether Sunni or Shia), there is no established age when a female can be married off. In light of this, a Muslim man is allowed to wed girls who are significantly younger than nine, and even to engage in sexual activity with them [...]
Much of what's in discussion is too repulsive to highlight here, so read on at the article at your own risk. This is very serious subject matter, and it can't be ignored if we're to find how to put an end to this absolute horror that's destroyed only so many girls' lives over many centuries.

The Iranian regime must be brought down

Dr. Saeed Gasseinejad believes it's possible to bring down the Iranian theocracy, and Israel should also help out in doing so:
Dr. Saeed Ghasseminejad believes there's already a detailed plan to transform Iran's political landscape. Born in Tehran, he regularly participated in protests against the clerical rule during his university years. "One day, while driving back from a protest, two Revolutionary Guard members suddenly got into my car," he recalls in a phone conversation with Israel Hayom from New York. "I drove in silence for several minutes with them inside, until they moved me to the back seat and drove me directly to a detention facility. I spent a month in solitary confinement and received a two-year suspended sentence. Following this, I left Iran, leaving my family behind."

He relocated to the United States, completed his doctorate in economics, and became a prominent opposition voice. He later joined the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a nonpartisan research institute in Washington focusing on national security, which includes Israeli researchers such as former National Security Council chiefs Eyal Hulata and Jacob Nagel.

"Many people say there's no chance the Iranian regime will fall. I think that's a mistake," says Ghasseminejad. "There's currently great disappointment with the regime in Iran. In the last presidential election, for instance, voter turnout was the lowest ever. The economic situation is fragile, and since 2017, protests have occurred in more than 150 cities across Iran. Since September 2022, there have been over 7,000 demonstrations in Iran."

These statistics, he believes, indicate that the regime is unstable and the Iranian government stands on shaky ground. According to him, all the Iranian people need to overcome the clerical leadership is some external assistance. That's exactly why a five-point plan was formulated.
Well he's right that the west can't hold back on battling the Iranian regime, and the day's coming when once again, military forces everywhere will have no choice but to go to war against an evil empire, as was the case in the past 2 world wars. Read more at the article, and let's hope more westerners understand all this today.

Canadian municipality will be hosting a pro-Hamas vigil

In the Ontario city of Missisauga, more examples turn up making clear the province in focus is one of the worst places you could possibly be in Canada (via Jihad Watch):
A vigil for the former Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, is set to be held at Mississauga’s Celebration Square on November 26. The vigil is also expected to honour other leaders of the Hamas terror group in Gaza who have been killed in the hostilities.

Sinwar, who was killed by Israeli military forces in Gaza on October 26, was one of the most influential figures responsible for the terrorist attacks on southern Israel last year that resulted in the deaths of approximately 1200 people.

The terrorist attacks orchestrated by Sinwar also resulted in over 240 Israelis and foreign nationals being taken hostage, with 97 still remaining unaccounted for.

Despite Sinwar’s past, the event is scheduled to move ahead as planned in Mississauga
beginning at 6pm on November 26. Hamas is designated as a terrorist entity in Canada, sparking questions about whether the event should be permitted.
Well this can certainly contradict whatever "policies" Canada has, if at all, that supposedly object to terrorist-supporting activities on their own soil. In a related subject, two Muslims were arrested for supporting Islamic State and plotting a bombing in Ottawa (also via Jihad Watch):
Two Ottawa teens allegedly plotted to bomb a pro-Israel rally on Parliament Hill before they were arrested by the RCMP, according to documents obtained by Global News.

The boys, both minors, were arrested in December and February over what police called a terrorist plot against the Ottawa Jewish community.

Specifics of their plan were not disclosed at that time, but newly released allegations filed in court detail their suspected target.

“They are alleged to have formed a plan last fall to violently attack Jewish persons in Ottawa, possibly through the detonation of an explosive device at a pro-Israel rally,” the Department of Justice wrote.

No further details were provided, but one of the accused is charged with possession of acetone, oxidizer and metal ball bearings.
This is one more reason the terrorist-worship in Missisauga is obscene. There's no point in visiting Ontario, if anywhere, in Canada.

Leftists like Ilhan Omar continue to set alarmingly bad examples

The Islamic congress member from Minnesota shouted an expletive against pro-Israel demonstrators at Capitol Hill:
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) used an expletive in response to pro-Israel protesters on Capitol Hill who called her out for her refusal to condemn Hamas and demanded that she “go to Gaza.”

The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon. Footage posted to social media site X showed the protesters approaching as she was preparing to enter an elevator with her staff on Capitol Hill. The protesters, who were carrying Israeli flags, demanded that Omar disavow Hamas.

“Why do you stand with Hamas? Why don’t you condemn Hamas,”
one protester shouted. “Do you like Hamas and Hezbollah?”

Omar ignored the protesters until one of them told her to “go to Gaza” while referring to Omar as “sweetheart.” She could be heard saying back “F–k you!” just before the elevator door closed.
What are the chances she'll claim her use of vulgar profanity is "justified" because somebody referred to her with a word that's far from vulgar by contrast? Omar just made clear what's wrong with only so many modern leftists, and now that the GOP has a majority in Congress, it's to be hoped they'll take steps to expel her for all the trouble she's caused, even in the USA proper.

Trump says universities must stop antisemitic violence or lose accreditation

As he continues to select politicians for his government cabinet, reelected president Donald Trump sends an important message to universities:
All American universities must end campus antisemitism or they will lose accreditation, President-elect Donald Trump promised during a rally against antisemitism in Washington.

To “defeat antisemitism and defend Jewish citizens in America,” Trump said he would inform every college president that if they do not “end antisemitic propaganda,” they would lose accreditation and federal support.

“We will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it – certainly on American soil,”
he said.

Trump added that once in the Oval Office, he would inform all educational institutions that if they permit violence or harassment against Jewish students, they will be “held accountable for violations of the civil rights law.”

“It’s very important – Jewish Americans must have equal protection under the law, and they’re going to get it,”
he said. “At the same time, my administration will move swiftly to restore safety for Jewish students and Jewish people on American streets.”

Trump's actions to combat antisemitism

In his first term as US president, Trump issued an executive order on combating antisemitism by adding Jews to the list of protected minority groups under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

He has also offered Rep. Elise Stefanik, the Republican representing New York’s 21st district, the position of US ambassador to the UN. Stefanik has been one of the leading lawmakers against US campus antisemitism.
Now this is a vital step forward, and even before the universities actually take action, if they do, their accreditation should still be suspended until they've shown concrete proof they've made progress. And they should restore all history lessons too, along with honesty about Israel's and many other places. In addition, the unabridged history of Islam should also be restored to university studies.

How Europe failed in its promise to prevent evil ideologies from resurrecting

The Jerusalem Post interviewed Fiamma Nirenstein, who explained the origins of Europe's failures to prevent antisemitism, among other forms of bigotry, from reviving again after WW2:
In conversation with the Post, she recounted a recent press trip to the Gaza border, where she met an IDF soldier whose grandfather was in Auschwitz, whose father fought in the Yom Kippur War, and who himself was now about to fight in Gaza.

"I am never again," the soldier told her.

Israel is the one actively fighting a "system of hate which wishes to destroy civilization and culture," Nirenstein said, making her realize that Jews and Israel "are the only ones with the right to say 'never again,' and mean it"

In Europe, in the countries supposed to be the very guardians of these values, "There has been a true failure of the 'never again' promise," she added. One only needs to look at the crowds chanting for an end to democracy, for death to the Jews, for the destruction of Israel from the river to the sea, to see this failure, Nirenstein said.

She stressed that this happened much before the large wave of immigration from Islamic nations to Europe, bringing with it an anti-Western ideology.

The story of the denial of 'never again' began in the USSR, Nirenstein told the Post, which, with its harsh criticism of imperialism and capitalism, generated a self-hate in the West.

"This then became an instrument of power,"
she added.

"The way the communist building enriched itself was through the establishment of the UN" which she said became the basis of much of the West's self-implosion.

On November 10, 1975, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 3379, declaring Zionism "a form of racism and racial discrimination.”

The UN, as the seeming instrument of democracy, sought to label the Jewish democracy as a racist, colonialist, and imperialist force.

As a result of this, Nirenstein explained, the oppressors were labeled as the oppressed, and the oppressed as the oppressors.

"On Thursday night we saw the aggression of young Muslims in Amsterdam [against Israelis], and the next day, blond youths wearing Keffiyehs were the ones protesting."

"These are the children of the West who think of themselves as the imperialist, racist, oppressors,"
Nirenstein said. As a way of absolving themselves of guilt, the self-hating Westerners commit a sort of "suicide."

Allying themselves with who they believe to be the oppressed and identifying themselves as the oppressors allows those in the West to feel they have atoned, she said.

"It is the same phenomenon we see in universities, by which Shakespeare is cancelled, Churchill is cancelled, the founders of America: cancelled," Nirenstein adds.

"Here is a huge movement of self-destruction of the West, and in the middle is antisemitism."

This has significant impacts for Israel, which "suffers a strategic blow from this situation," Nirenstein added.

With the hiding of modern antisemitism behind the guise of anti-Zionism, Israel has become demonized and delegitimized.
One of the worst things about the modern indoctrination is that it was doubtlessly planned for decades. And now, it'll be very hard to mend that damage for ages to come.
