Biden’s Latest Betrayal is ‘Deeply Disturbing’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s administration is threatening the Israeli government with a full arms embargo if they don’t “improve” the humanitarian situation — sparked by Hamas’ decision to start a war on October 7 — in the Gaza Strip within 30-days.

In a letter sent to a number of Israeli ministers Monday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the demand.

The letter conveniently ignores that the majority of humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza, including by the United States through air drops and a disastrous, now defunct pier, is stolen by Iranian backed Hamas.

Poll Shows Palestinians Proud of Terrorism Against Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

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)

Biden Says U.S. Discussing Possible Israeli Strikes on Iran Oil Facilities

/4 Comments/in , /by

Joe Biden has said the US is discussing with Israel the possibility of Israeli strikes on Iran’s oil infrastructure.

When asked if he would support such strikes, Mr Biden said: “We’re discussing that. I think that would be a little… anyway.”

His off-the-cuff remarks, made as he left the White House, did not make clear Washington’s stance. Mr Biden has previously said he would not support Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The price of benchmark Brent crude oil shot up by 5% immediately after the remarks. It has now increased by 10% since Iran’s large-scale missile attack on Israel on Tuesday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran “will pay a heavy price” for Tuesday’s attack, which saw at least 180 ballistic missiles fired at Israel. (Read more from “Biden Says U.S. Discussing Possible Israeli Strikes on Iran Oil Facilities” HERE)

Trump: Israel Should Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said Friday in Fayetteville, North Carolina, that Israel should destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons program in response to the second massive ballistic missile attack by the Iranian regime earlier this week.

Trump was responding to questions during a town hall, and drew a contrast between his policies and those of President Joe Biden, who said earlier this week that Israel should not hit Iran’s nuclear program or oil facilities.

Trump said:

I listened to Biden yesterday, you know, since I went under the wing, you know, I used to go under the wing of the aircraft. Nobody ever did that before. I did all of a sudden, Biden started — but he only takes like a half a question, usually can’t answer it. [Laughter] But they asked him, what do you think about, what do you think about Iran? Would you hit Iran? And he goes, “A long as they don’t hit the nuclear stuff.” That’s the thing you want to hit, right? I said, I think he’s got that one wrong. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to hit? I mean, it’s the most, it’s the biggest risk. We have nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons, the power of weaponry. You know, I rebuilt the entire military jets, everything I built it, including nuclear and I hated to build the nuclear, but I got to know firsthand the power of that stuff, and I’ll tell you what, we have to be totally prepared. We have to be absolutely prepared. But when they asked him that question, the answer should have been hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later. And that’s why they should, if they’re going to do it, if they’re going to do it, they’re going to do it, but we’ll find out whatever their plans are.

Trump also talked about his success in promoting peace through the Abraham Accords, and said that the U.S. could avoid war by being feared and respected again by America’s enemies and allies throughout the world. (Read more from “Trump: Israel Should Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program” HERE)

VIDEO: Despite Iran’s Launch of Almost 200 Ballistic Missiles at Israel, Only One Killed

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a chilling turn of events, the skies over Israel were streaked with fire yesterday as over 180 ballistic missiles were launched from Iran in an unprecedented and coordinated attack. The threat of escalation in the region had been simmering for weeks, with tensions between Israel and Iran at a boiling point over targeted killings, the war with Hezbollah, nuclear concerns, and other regional conflicts. Yet despite the gravity of the situation and the sheer scale of the assault, a miracle unfolded in the midst of chaos: only one person was killed, a Palestinian hit by a ballistic missile’s falling rocket casing.

This miracle is particularly clear in view of the multiple impacts of the Iranian missiles observed in the following videos:

Israel has long been accustomed to facing missile threats from hostile neighbors, but the scale and sophistication of yesterday’s assault were like nothing seen in recent history. Iran’s ballistic missiles were aimed at key intelligence (Mossad) and military installations, intent on inflicting significant damage and overwhelming Israel’s defense systems. Israel’s highly sophisticated missile defense systems including David’s Sling, the Iron Dome, and the Arrow System, had faced challenges before, but the sheer volume and complexity of yesterday’s attack posed a serious test to its capabilities. The United States also fired numerous missile interceptors in an attempt to blunt the Iranian attack.

‘Third Lebanon War’ Begins

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Third Lebanon War has officially begun, according to Israel’s Army Radio, as Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ground forces crossed into Lebanon early Tuesday morning to remove Hezbollah outposts that threaten Israeli communities.

The IDF apparently crossed into Lebanon at the “finger” or “panhandle” of Israel’s Galilee region, near the town of Metula, which was Israel’s northernmost town until the capture and annexation of the Golan Heights.

In a statement, the IDF said:

In accordance with the decision of the political echelon, a few hours ago, the IDF began limited, localized, and targeted ground raids based on precise intelligence against Hezbollah terrorist targets and infrastructure in southern Lebanon. These targets are located in villages close to the border and pose an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel.

The IDF is operating according to a methodical plan set out by the General Staff and the Northern Command which IDF soldiers have trained and prepared for in recent months.

The Israeli Air Force and IDF Artillery are supporting the ground forces with precise strikes on military targets in the area.

These operations were approved and carried out in accordance with the decision of the political echelon. Operation “Northern Arrows” will continue according to the situational assessment and in parallel to combat in Gaza and in other arenas.

The IDF is continuing to operate to achieve the goals of the war and is doing everything necessary to defend the citizens of Israel and return the citizens of northern Israel to their homes.

Netanyahu Left Israel to ‘Trick’ Hezbollah Leader

/1 Comment/in , /by

Benjamin Netanyahu left Israel for New York to “trick” Hezbollah’s leader into thinking he was safe, a senior Israeli official told The Telegraph.

Mr Netanyahu’s address to the UN was part of a “diversionary plan” intended to make Hassan Nasrallah believe Israel would not take drastic action with the prime minister out of the country.

Israel struck Beirut with a massive air strike on Friday that shook the Lebanese capital.

Mr Nasrallah was believed to be watching Mr Netanyahu’s speech “and was then attacked by Israeli Air Force planes”, the official said.

“Netanyahu approved the strike before delivering his speech at the UN,” the official added. (Read more from “Netanyahu Left Israel to ‘Trick’ Hezbollah Leader” HERE)

Iran Calls Emergency Meeting After Israel Hits Hezbollah Leader’s HQ With Massive Airstrikes

/3 Comments/in , /by

Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is convening a high-level security meeting after Israel launched massive airstrikes in Beirut targeting the leader of Hezbollah, according to The New York Times.

Khamenei will be meeting with members of the Supreme National Security Council at his compound in Iran after Israeli forces launched a major airstrike in the southern suburbs of Beirut in an apparent attempt to eliminate Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah, who helms the Iran-sponsored terrorist group, according to the NYT. It is currently unclear whether Nasrallah was killed in the strikes, which have reportedly killed at least two people and injured dozens more with the toll expected to rise.

Israel reportedly believed Nasrallah to be present at a headquarters facility located beneath buildings in the Lebanese capital city, according to the NYT. The major strikes appear to have essentially flattened at least four buildings, with nearby cars also being damaged or destroyed.

Biden’s Last-Ditch Israel-Hamas Peace Deal Effort Fails Spectacularly

/0 Comments/in , /by

Multiple reports on Sunday and Monday indicated, citing unnamed sources, that attempts by the administration of President Joe Biden to end Israel’s self-defense operations against the jihadist terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza have not yielded any significant progress.

Both Israel and Hamas reportedly rejected the latest attempts at a ceasefire deal from the White House, the Times of Israel reported on Sunday, suggesting that the Israeli government politely raised “reservations” with the proposed agreement, while Hamas terror leaders “flatly rejected” the deal. The proposed deal appears to be the result of a visit to Egypt, a core mediator, by Secretary of State Antony Blinken last week in which he was reportedly working to complete a draft of a “bridging” proposal – an agreement to potentially reach an agreement – between the terrorist organization and its target nation.

Israel declared war on Hamas in October 2023 after the Iran-backed Palestinian terror group orchestrated an unprecedented terrorist siege on the country on the seventh of that month. Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and engaged in door-to-door raids of residential communities, killing entire families and engaging in infanticide, gang rape, and desecration of corpses. The terrorists also took an estimated 250 people hostage, about 100 of whom are believed to still be in captivity in Hamas’s stronghold of Gaza.

Biden administration officials have repeatedly stated that they, and the president, believe that the best way to rescue the remaining hostages is to come to a deal that stops Israel’s war on Hamas. They have offered no enthusiastic support for a battlefield victory against Hamas. Israel has officially adopted four goals in its war: the elimination of Hamas, the return of the hostages, the return of the over 60,000 displaced by Hezbollah in northern Israel to their homes, and ensuring that Gaza, where the terrorists invaded from, could no longer be used for terrorist attacks against Israel.

The Israeli government has listened to American proposals, hashed out with input from neighboring Egypt and Qatar, but has ultimately found that Biden administration potential deals do not allow for the completion of the war goal of eliminating Hamas. Hamas, in turn, has claimed to negotiate in good faith but rejected deals it had previously agreed to and continuously made outrageous demands unappealing to Israel. Hamas has rejected proposals even the Biden administration has admitted originated with Hamas itself. (Read more from “Biden’s Last-Ditch Israel-Hamas Peace Deal Effort Fails Spectacularly” HERE)

Archaeologists Reveal Artifacts Matching Jesus Christ’s Journey Through Israel

/1 Comment/in , /by

Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) revealed in early August the discovery of the largest quarry in Jerusalem from the Second Temple period.

Ongoing revelations from excavations in Jerusalem’s Har Hotzvim neighborhood revealed a slew of building stones within the quarry site that ranged in size but were mostly massive, according to the IAA. Researchers believe some stones were likely used as paving slabs throughout Jerusalem’s streets at the time. . .

The road was walked by Jesus Christ and His disciples and connects to the Pool of Siloam, where Jesus performed one of his miracles — returning sight to the blind, The Christian Post noted. Site excavations are ongoing. And like most of the archaeological digs in Israel, it is likely to keep revealing incredible things into the future.
