Netanyahu: Terrorists Burned People Alive; Every Hamas Member Is ‘A Dead Man’; Gantz Invokes Ten Plagues (VIDEO)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recounted the horrors of Saturday’s terror attack by the Palestinian terror group Hamas in an address Wednesday evening to his nation introducing his emergency national unity government.

As Breitbart News reported earlier Wednesday, Netanyahu and opposition leader Benny Gantz of the Blue and White Party agreed to form an emergency government of national unity, setting aside political differences until the end of the war. Other opposition parties may follow. . .

Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant also spoke, vowing to “wipe Hamas off the face of the earth.”

“What happened has not happened to the Jewish people since 1945,” he added. “There’s no situation in which you kill Israeli kids and we go about our business.” . . .

He warned: “The reward of our enemies will be blood, fire and pillars of smoke” — a quote from the Book of Joel (3:3) that is also reference, in Jewish tradition, to the Ten Plagues of the Bible that preceded the liberation of the Israelites from slavery.

Hezbollah Vows to Target U.S. Bases if Washington Aids Israel

Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Shiite militia in Iraq, on Tuesday threatened to attack American bases in Iraq and across the Middle East if the U.S. aids Israel against the terrorists of Hamas.

“Our missiles, drones, and special forces are ready to … strike the American enemy in its bases and disrupt its interests if it intervenes in this battle,” said Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi, who styles himself as “Hezbollah Brigades Secretary-General,” according to Iran’s PressTV.

Hamidawi said Iraqi Hezbollah, which is distinct from the Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah, has a “duty to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians” under Islamic law. He praised the murderers of Hamas for their bloody assault on Israeli civilians.

PressTV quoted another Iraqi militant leader, Akram al-Kaabi of Harakat Hezbollah Nujaba, echoing Hamidawi’s warning and promising a “military response” (i.e. terrorist attack) against any country that intervenes on Israel’s behalf.

“If (the Americans) intervene, we would intervene,” said a third militant boss, Hadi al-Amiri of the Badr Organization. “We will consider all American targets legitimate.” (Read more from “Hezbollah Vows to Target U.S. Bases if Washington Aids Israel” HERE)

George Santos Threatens Other Republicans After He’s Indicted on 23 Counts

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) threatened other Republicans on Wednesday after he was indicted on 10 new felony counts in a 23 count superseding indictment that was returned this week stemming from alleged crimes related to campaign finance.

The new charges included one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of making materially false statements to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), two counts of falsifying records submitted to obstruct the FEC, two counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of access device fraud.

Santos told reporters that he was not willing to take a plea deal because he claimed that he could prove his “innocence.” . . .

“Remember if I’m in fact ousted fascism will officially be well and alive in the United States of America and these members will be the champions of it,” he claimed. “I do want to remind my dear colleagues who all but one have deep long troubling careers in politics that I will have a lot of time on my hands to return the favor in the most expedient fashion mankind has ever seen.” (Read more from “George Santos Threatens Other Republicans After He’s Indicted on 23 Counts” HERE)

American Death Toll From Hamas Attacks Reaches New Mark

By Washington Examiner. Fourteen Americans were among the hundreds of people who were killed in multipronged terrorist attacks across southern Israel this weekend, President Joe Biden said.

“More than 1,000 civilians slaughtered, not just killed, slaughtered in Israel,” Biden said on Tuesday afternoon while delivering remarks about the attacks. “Among them, at least 14 American citizens killed.” He confirmed “American citizens are among those being held by Hamas,” and added, “I’ve directed my team to share intelligence and deploy additional experts from across the United States government to consult with and advise Israeli counterparts on hostage recovery efforts.”

National security adviser Jake Sullivan announced shortly after that there are “20 or more” Americans who remain unaccounted for, and he stressed that they are not certain whether they are among the 100-150 hostages Hamas took back to Gaza.

“We believe that there are 20 or more Americans that are missing, but I want to underscore and stress that does not mean necessarily that there are 20 or more American hostages,” he told reporters. “Just that is the number that are currently unaccounted for.” (Read more from “American Death Toll From Hamas Attacks Reaches New Mark” HERE)

A Mother Who Shielded Her Son From Gunmen and a ‘Pro-peace’ Academic Are Among the Americans Killed in Israel

By CNN. Deborah Matias, an American citizen who lived in Israel, was shot and killed by Hamas gunmen while shielding her teenage son from their bullets, her father told CNN.

Hayim Katsman, an Israeli-American academic, was hiding in a closet with his neighbor when he was fatally shot, his sibling said.

They are among at least 14 US citizens who were killed in Israel after the Gaza-based militant group launched a devastating attack early Saturday that left at least 1,000 there dead.

There are also “20 or more Americans” in Israel who are currently unaccounted for, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Tuesday. (Read more from “A Mother Who Shielded Her Son From Gunmen and a ‘Pro-peace’ Academic Are Among the Americans Killed in Israel” HERE)

DHS Deported Less Than 1% Of Catch-And-Release Illegals Since Start of Biden Administration

The Homeland Security Department has caught and released more than 2.1 million illegal immigrants at the southern border since the start of the Biden administration.

Less than 1% of them had immigration court hearings and were deported, the House Judiciary Committee said Monday in a report challenging the government’s assertions that it is “promptly” removing the wave of people arriving at the border.

Using Homeland Security’s data, the committee delivered the most comprehensive look to date at the border chaos. The report examines who has crossed illegally, how many have been released and how the administration has struggled to deal with the migrants once they are in the U.S.

The data indicates that migrants are incredibly difficult to dislodge once they move beyond the border.

The report also suggests that few of the immigrants are asylum-seekers. Those who attempt to use the asylum process are generally ruled to have bogus claims and are ordered deported. There again, Homeland Security struggles to find and oust them, the report said. (Read more from “DHS Deported Less Than 1% Of Catch-And-Release Illegals Since Start of Biden Administration” HERE)

NYU Law Student President Says Israel ‘Bears Full Responsibility’ for Terror Attack in Newsletter

The president of New York University’s student bar association sent an incendiary pro-Hamas message to the school Tuesday — cheering the terror attack on civilians and blaming Israel for the bloodshed.

Ryna Workman also accused the Jewish state of “genocide” in the missive — which caused so much outrage a law firm rescinded a cushy job offer to the student.

“I want to express, first and foremost, my unwavering and absolute solidarity with Palestinians in their resistance against oppression towards liberation and self-determination,” wrote Workman, who identifies as non-binary.

“Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life. This regime of state-sanctioned violence created the conditions that made resistance necessary,” their post continued.

“I will not condemn Palestinian resistance,” they went on to write, instead condemning the “violence of… apartheid, military occupation, the United States military industrial complex and obfuscating genocide as a ‘complex issue,’” among other things.

Reporter Lights up State Dept. Spox After He Tries Blaming Trump for $6 Billion Biden Unfroze for Iran

Though the statement President Joe Biden gave Tuesday about Hamas’ terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians was far more pointed regarding the situation and supportive of Israel than the brief, bumbling remarks he gave Saturday, the overall response from the Biden administration to date has to many, to put it mildly, been sorely lacking and quite frankly unacceptable.

To further prove the point, we turn to a State Dept. briefing held earlier where spokesman Matt Miller and Associated Press reporter Matt Lee had a heated exchange on the issue of the $6 billion in Iranian assets Biden unfroze as part of a hostage-freeing deal with Iran that was first reported on in July, but which became official in September.

Since the attacks began, Republicans and other staunch supporters of Israel have been accusing Biden of essentially helping to fund the atrocities being committed by Hamas, pointing to the $6 billion hostage-swapping agreement and how it paved the way for Iran to further fund attacks on U.S. allies in the region. Relatedly, some House and Senate Republicans are now calling on Biden to refreeze those assets in light of the Israel-Hamas war.

Over the weekend, Biden National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson insulted everyone’s intelligence by declaring that, “Not a single cent from these funds has been spent, and when it is spent, it can only be spent on things like food and medicine for the Iranian people,” while adding, “These funds have absolutely nothing to do with the horrific attacks today and this is not the time to spread disinformation.”

What she conveniently left out though was that the funds are fungible, which means holding them in the bank solely for “humanitarian aid” frees up Iran to use existing funds they have on hand for terrorism.

Senator Tuberville Responds to Calls He Should Be ‘Removed From the Human Race’

On Monday night former National Security Agency Director General Michael Hayden called for the removal of Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville “from the human race.” Hayden is upset Tuberville continues to hold up military promotions as long as the Pentagon funds travel for abortions.

Tuberville responded Tuesday afternoon and called for Hayden to be prosecuted.

“This morning my office was made aware of a statement made by General Michael Hayden calling for a politically motivated assassination. This statement is disgusting and it is repugnant to everything we believe in as Americans. Given General Hayden’s long career in Washington, he must have known that, by making such a statement, he was committing a serious crime. His own efforts today to reinterpret what he said are only a tacit admission of guilty,” Tuberville said. “If we still have a nonpolitical justice system in this country, then General Hayden will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. My office has reported this incident to the Capitol Police and I expect that they will once again do an excellent job protecting members of Congress and bringing criminals to justice.” (Read more from “Senator Tuberville Responds to Calls He Should Be ‘Removed From the Human Race'” HERE)

Biden Admin Has Issued Lowest Amount of Offshore Oil Permits in Almost 20 Years

The Biden administration has approved a record low number of permits for new offshore oil wells since 2005, according to E&E News.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), a subagency of the Department of the Interior (DOI), approved 105 applications for permit to drill (APDs) combined in 2021 and 2022, President Joe Biden’s first two years in office, compared to 148 in former President Donald Trump’s first two years and 275 in the first two years of the Obama administration, according to E&E News. The Biden administration has described itself as responsible for the aggressive climate agenda in U.S. history, establishing goals to have the U.S. energy sector reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2035 and the overall economy achieve net-zero by 2050.

The Biden administration’s policies “make it more difficult to substantiate the long-term, capital-intensive investments required for production in the Gulf of Mexico,” Holly Hopkins, vice president of Upstream Policy for the American Petroleum Institute, told E&E News. “This is a concerning trend for the future of American energy security.”

The overall trend of the annual numbers of APDs has been one of decline since the 381 granted in 2006 by the Bush administration, according to E&E News. (Read more from “Biden Admin Has Issued Lowest Amount of Offshore Oil Permits in Almost 20 Years” HERE)
