University Whose Students Invited Terrorist To Campus Also Enrolled Former Hamas Official

Georgetown University scrubbed online evidence it enrolled a former Hamas official and daughter of a terrorist leader after a watchdog group’s inquiry.

The Washington, D.C., school wiped the profile of graduate student Mapheze Saleh, who worked for Hamas’s foreign ministry, from its website when the pro-Israel group Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) contacted it about her terrorist ties, the group wrote Thursday. The revelation comes days after Georgetown began investigating anti-Israel students who alarmed the public by inviting a convicted terrorist to campus.

“Through her professional experiences, Mapheze has developed an expertise in regional and international relations with an emphasis on conflict resolution and security studies, and also solidified her commitment to public discourse and cross-cultural communication,” reads Georgetown’s deleted profile of Saleh. It acknowledges she has worked for “the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Gaza” controlled by the Hamas terrorist group that ignited war with Israel in October 2023 by slaughtering more than 1,100 people, raping women en masse and taking hostages.

Saleh has disclosed publicly that she is the daughter of “senior adviser to the Hamas Foreign Ministry” Ahmed Yousef, according to CAMERA’s report, which cited Arabic media translations and Saleh’s social media posts.

Hamas Makes an Announcement About the Freedom of Future Hostages (VIDEO)

Iranian backed terrorist organization Hamas announced Monday it will not comply with the next stage of a previously negotiated hostage deal, falsely claiming “Israeli violations” as the reason for the decision. The deal Hamas agreed to requires the release of three more hostages this week, which now isn’t happening.

The move comes less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump said he was “losing patience” with the terrorist group and that the condition of hostages Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami and Or Levy, who were released Saturday, was unacceptable.

‘Something of Biblical Proportion’ Will Happen Under Trump in Mideast

Mike Huckabee, the incoming U.S. ambassador to Israel, is optimistic about the future of the Mideast, believing “something of biblical proportion” will happen in the region under the leadership of President Donald Trump.

“I’m personally optimistic that we’re going to see something bold,” Huckabee said on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.

“I will use this term, Maria. I think we will see something of biblical proportion happen with his leadership in the Middle East.”

His remarks come in the wake of last week’s announcement by Trump that the U.S. will take over the troubled Gaza Strip to help transform it from a “demolition site” to a Riviera-style region.

“President Trump did something bold,” Huckabee said.” He looked into the future and said kind of a what if. We don’t know exactly what might happen in Gaza, but here’s what could have happened in Gaza. (Read more from “‘Something of Biblical Proportion’ Will Happen Under Trump in Mideast” HERE)

Joe Biden Suffers One Final Humiliation Before Being Wheeled Out of Office

As Katie wrote earlier today, there’s been a tentative hostage deal struck between Israel and Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office is still combing through the details, but it’s undoubtedly the most encouraging news about a ceasefire in months. Joe Biden and his ninny brigade have tried and failed to strike a deal to end the Israel-Hamas war, which was predictable. Joe and his team are neither feared nor respected:

Netanyahu’s office says the deal is not complete and is still being worked out, but hopes it will be finished in the coming hours. Netanyahu is facing pressure from members of his coalition who are against the deal and threatening to dissolve the government.

Report: Trump Did More to Free Hostages, Reach Ceasefire Than Biden Did All Year

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly being praised by Arab officials for doing more to move Israel and Hamas closer to a hostage and ceasefire deal than President Joe Biden has done in more than a year since the last truce.

Trump warned Hamas at the beginning of December that there would be “ALL HELL TO PAY” if they did not release all 100 of the remaining hostages, including seven Americans (three of whom are alive) by his Inauguration.

Hamas began to show flexibility, then retreated. But Trump’s future Mideast envoys fanned out across the region, and Trump apparently pressured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to show greater flexibility as well.

The Times of Israel reported Tuesday:

A “tense” weekend meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and incoming Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff led to a breakthrough in the hostage negotiations, with the top aide to US President-elect Donald Trump doing more to sway the premier in a single sit-down than outgoing President Joe Biden did all year, two Arab officials told The Times of Israel on Tuesday.

During the 42-day first phase, 33 of the remaining women, children, elderly and severely ill hostages will be released in exchange for roughly 1,000 Palestinian security prisoners. Israel will partially withdraw from Gaza, while helping facilitate the entry of 600 trucks of humanitarian aid into the Strip each day.

The second stage will see the release of the remaining living hostages and conclude with a declaration of a permanent end to hostilities. The third phase will see the release of bodies still held by Hamas.

Poll Shows Palestinians Proud of Terrorism Against Israel

A new polling reveals that it was not the “Hamas” atrocities inflicted on Israel’s innocent civilians, some 1,200 of whom were massacred often in horrific ways, just one year ago on Oct. 7, 2023.

It was the “Palestinian massacre.”

“Every poll of Palestinians since October 7, 2023, by both AWRAD – Arab World for Research and Development, and PSR – Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, shows that an overwhelming majority of Palestinians supported and continue to support the rapes, torture, beheadings, and murder of more than 1,100 people in southern Israel led by Hamas, and their kidnapping of 250 hostages,” explained a report from Palestinian Media Watch.

“Significantly, the polls found that the support in the West Bank was higher than that in the Gaza Strip. Asked if they supported the attack on Oct 7, the first poll in November 2023 found West Bank support at 83%. Half a year later, in June 2024, after the destruction in Gaza, 73% still said that the decision to attack Israel was correct. In the Gaza Strip, two months into the war support had already dropped to 63% and continued to fall to only 31% in March 2024, saying it was correct to attack. Astonishingly, the joy over the rape, torture, beheadings, and murder of Israelis was so great that even after much of Gaza was in rubble following Israel’s counter attack, for West Bank Arabs that one day of horror inflicted on Israelis, made the destruction of Gaza an acceptable price to pay.”

AWRAD, in November 2023, had asked, “Considering the ongoing events do you feel a sense of pride as a Palestinian?”

The report pointed out, “Incredibly, 98% of Palestinians felt ‘pride as Palestinians.'” (Read more from “Poll Shows Palestinians Proud of Terrorism Against Israel” HERE)

DA Who Charged a Veteran for Defending Himself Against a Pro-Hamas Supporter Is a Nightmare

Bonchie at RedState had it first for us, based on reporting from Kassy Akiva of the Daily Wire. It’s likely to lead to a messy legal fight, as a pro-Hamas supporter was shot by an Iraq War veteran who was triggered by a gathering of Israeli supporters in Newton, Massachusetts. The man is caught on video charging the group and tackling the veteran, Scott Hayes, who shot the individual in self-defense. He later rendered medical aid until first responders arrived on the scene.

As RedState reported on Thursday evening, an Iraq war veteran named Scott Hayes was violently attacked by a Hamas supporter during a pro-Israel protest. The attacker was captured on video starting a verbal altercation by yelling across a street about “genocide” while making a false claim that 200,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza. He then charged through traffic and violently tackled the veteran.

A scuffle ensued with the Hamas supporter attempting to punch the victim in the head. At that point, the veteran discharged a single shot from a pistol he was concealed carrying. The Hamas supporter was reported to be in stable condition, the incident appeared to be a clear-cut case of self-defense.

As Bonchie adds, Ryan admits the pro-Palestinian wannabe tough guy was the attacker, but they charge Hayes anyway? There’s no way this investigation is done, but that’s Massachusetts for you.

Haniyeh’s Son Claims Hamas Leader Was Killed by Guided Missile That Tracked His Cell Phone

Hamas head Ismail Haniyeh was killed by a guided missile that tracked his cell phone, his son Abdussalam Haniyeh told Saudi Arabia state media Al Arabiya Friday from Doha, Qatar, in an interview.

Haniyeh was killed in Tehran on July 31, and it was reported by the New York Times and independently confirmed by the Jerusalem Post that an explosive device was planted in his room months before he was killed.

The bomb was hidden in June and used cutting-edge remote technology that was also used in the killing of Iran nuclear chief Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, according to the report and the Post’s sources.

Haniyeh’s son told Al Arabiya that this was not the case. “I think the story of an explosive device is completely baseless,” he said. “There were bodyguards and other advisers sitting in a room a few meters away from his room, so it’s clear that if there were an explosive device, the whole place would be blown up,” he added.

“It was a guided missile that tracked his mobile phone that he had placed at night in his room near his head, which was directly hit,” Haniyeh said to Al Arabiya. (Read more from “Haniyeh’s Son Claims Hamas Leader Was Killed by Guided Missile That Tracked His Cell Phone” HERE)

Pro-Hamas Supporters Seize Building With Cal State University President Inside

Pro-Hamas supporters still aren’t quitting their advocacy for terrorists, nor are they ceasing their tactic of staging January 6-like events and seizing buildings on college campuses. The ‘Storm the Bastille’ protocol was adopted after activists saw that nothing serious happened to the hooligans who stormed and seized a building at Columbia University. These students held the custodial staff hostage. At California State University’s Los Angeles campus, these terrorist supporters stormed a building with the university president inside. Signs of vandalism and destruction are apparent (via LA Times):

Scores of protesters occupied and vandalized a Cal State Los Angeles student services building while administrators were inside for hours before leaving Thursday morning, officials said.

The student services building was deemed a crime scene by authorities and multiple windows were defaced with messages in red paint.

Tables, hard-shelled umbrellas and rope still blocked the entrances and exits — though university officials said the building was now vacant.

What Is Hamas Hiding in Rafah, and Why Doesn’t Biden Want the IDF to Find It?

In the lead up to the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) operation to destroy Hamas and secure the release of over 100 hostages – including 8 Americas – believed to be in and around Rafah, leaders around the world from Joe Biden to the collective leftist leaders of the European Union to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi panicked and ordered Israel to forestall its necessary means to end the war.

Why did world leaders clamor for Israel to do nothing?

What are they hiding?

. . .

Over one million Gazans were said to be sheltering in humanitarian safe areas in Rafah, and Hamas used them as human shields to ensure that Israel would not invade. An Israeli operation would force the vaunted international community to warn Israel against such action to protect civilians. Indeed, Hamas’s strategy of sacrificing civilians has led Norway, Spain, and Ireland to decide that terrorism should be rewarded with recognition of a Palestinian state. This is the moral equivalent of offering a restored Reich to Adolph Hitler.

Israel, undaunted by the virtue signaling of the international community and determined to defeat Hamas and rescue hostages, entered Rafah. Prior to the IDF entry, it flooded Rafah with instructions: sending Gazan civilians phone calls, text messages, and millions of dropped leaflets urging them to leave the area in advance of an Israeli incursion. They literally warned the enemy that they were coming and urged civilians to flee. Nearly one million Gazans fled to humanitarian zones in Rafah.
