Bring Them Home: The 5 Americans Still Held Hostage by Hamas

/0 Comments/in , /by

There are still five American hostages being held by Hamas. And though our leaders seem to have forgotten them, the American people have not.

Hamas murdered 1,200 people in Israel in the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack, and took more than 250 hostages. While some hostages have been freed, there are still roughly 130 hostages still being held by Hamas – not all of whom are still alive. Five of them are U.S. citizens.

The five American hostages who are still in Hamas’ captivity are; Keith Siegel, 65, Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35, Omer Neutra, 22, Edan Alexander, 20, and Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23. (Read more from “Bring Them Home: The 5 Americans Still Held Hostage by Hamas” HERE)

Army Officer Resigns Over Continued U.S. Support for Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Army officer assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency has resigned in protest over the United States’s continued military support for Israel.

Maj. Harrison Mann said he resigned from the DIA over the “nearly unqualified [U.S.] support” for Israel, “which has enabled and empowered the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians [in Gaza].”

“The past months have presented us with the most horrific and heartbreaking images imaginable — sometimes playing on the news in our own space — and I have been unable to ignore the connection between those images and my duties here,” he said in a slightly edited version of his resignation letter, which he posted on LinkedIn. “This caused me incredible shame and guilt.”

Mann referenced his European Jewish ancestry, noting he was “haunted” by what he believed was his failure to live up to the “unforgiving moral environment when it came to the topic of bearing responsibility for ethnic cleansing.”

A DIA official confirmed to the Washington Examiner that Mann was previously assigned to the agency and noted that “employees resign their positions for any number of reasons and motivations.” (Read more from “Army Officer Resigns Over Continued U.S. Support for Israel” HERE)

State Dept. Report on Israel’s Use of U.S. Weapons Gives Ammo to Both Sides

/1 Comment/in , /by

A State Department report on Israel’s use of U.S. weapons tried to please both pro- and anti-Israel voices, creating a slew of contradictory headlines.

“Biden administration says Israel is not violating U.S. weapons terms,” reported NBC. “US says Israel’s use of US arms likely violated international law, but evidence is incomplete,” said the AP. “Biden administration acknowledges possible Israeli weapons misuse in report to Congress,” reported USA Today.

Few linked to the actual document, so that readers could look through it and judge for themselves.

The reason for the confusion is clear: although the State Department did not find any actual evidence that Israel had used American weapons in ways that violate international humanitarian law or international human rights law, it also claimed that it was “reasonable” to assume that Israel had done so, given “given Israel’s significant reliance on U.S.-made” weapons.

This Pro-Hamas Student at Princeton Shows How Weak and Soft the Left Is

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s not enough that pro-Hamas mayhem has overtaken college campuses nationwide. We now have these students, though many are probably professional agitators, going on hunger strikes to protest the war in Gaza. We should put “hunger strike” in quotes since this is intermittent fasting. These kids are taking snack breaks—it’s the weakest sauce hunger strike ever. Yet, at Princeton, one student who claims to be immunocompromised complained that she was dying from her self-imposed hunger strike and blamed the school for weakening her.

“This is absolutely unfair. My peers and I, we are starving. We are physically exhausted. I am quite literally shaking right now, as you can see,” said the pro-Hamas supporter.

And? This decision was yours to make. Israel isn’t going to withdraw because some idiots decided to starve themselves for terrorists. Biden may be messing with arms shipments to Israel, which is reckless, but even this administration isn’t going to abandon Israel, though it might seem that way right now.

American Media Censors the Horrors of October 7 as Joe Biden Funds Their Creator

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you turn on the news, you’ll see constant video footage of the destruction in Gaza — but the news will never show the horrific crimes that occurred on October 7.

“The American media are censoring what took place on October 7,” Mark Levin explains, adding, “it’s being covered up.”

“Why? Because they’re graphic beyond comprehension. They’re unimaginable. And yet in doing so, they’re giving aid and comfort to the terrorists, to Iran, to Hamas, to Hezbollah, to the Houthis, to the PLO. They’re giving aid and comfort to the Islamists in the United States of America and their front organizations,” he adds.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden continues to refuse to stand up for Israel.

“Antony Blinken and he have stirred anti-Semitism not only in this country but around the world with the blood libels they have used to accuse Netanyahu and his government, the Israeli, and the IDF. The forces of righteousness and the forces of self-defense,” Levin says.

Report: Biden Withholding Weapons From Israel; Dems Impeached Trump Over Ukraine Aid

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new report appears to confirm earlier claims that the Biden administration has been withholding arms from Israel in an attempt to send a message of disapproval about Israel’s policy of entering Rafah to finish off Hamas terrorists.

Breitbart News reported earlier in the week about claims in other publications that the U.S. had been withholding aid. Israel denied any delay, but the White House gave a noncommittal reply to reporters’ questions in a briefing Monday.

Politico reported Tuesday that the claims appear to have been correct, and referred to specific “smart” bombs:

The Biden administration is holding up shipments of two types of Boeing-made precision bombs to send a political message to Israel, according to a U.S. official and six other people with knowledge of the deliberations.

The U.S. has yet to sign off on a pending sale of Boeing’s Joint Direct Attack Munitions — both the munitions and kits that convert them to smart weapons — and Small Diameter Bombs, according to six industry and congressional sources with knowledge of the discussions.

…

The munitions were ready to be shipped to Israel when word of the hold came down, said one senior congressional aide and two other people familiar with the incident. A third person, an industry official, said the administration told Boeing to halt the shipment since the approval was held up for “political reasons,” and not because of supply chain strain.

Biden’s Plan to Admit Gaza Refugees Sparks National Security Concerns

/0 Comments/in , /by

A reported plan by the Biden administration to potentially admit Palestinians from Gaza as refugees into the United States has sparked concerns among immigration experts and lawmakers, who argue that such a move could pose significant national security risks.

Internal documents from the federal government, leaked to the media on Tuesday, suggest that the Biden White House is exploring options to offer permanent safe haven to Palestinians living in war-torn Gaza. While no official plan has been announced, critics have raised alarms over the potential consequences of admitting individuals from this region.

Immigration experts, speaking to the Daily Caller News Foundation, have criticized the proposed plan as contrary to the country’s interests. They warn about the risks associated with admitting foreign nationals from a conflict-ridden area with potential ties to terrorism. Instead, they advocate for relocating refugees to neighboring Middle Eastern countries.

Matt O’Brien, director of investigations for the Immigration Reform Law Institute, described the plan as “absurd” and prioritizing ideology over national security. He highlighted concerns about Hamas, the governing authority in Gaza, and the challenges of vetting individuals from the region due to distrust in official records.

Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, along with 34 Republican senators, penned a letter to President Biden urging him to halt the reported plan. They raised concerns about the high level of support for Hamas among the Gazan population and the difficulty of properly vetting individuals from such a complex and volatile region.

The senators questioned the rationale behind admitting Gazan refugees, especially when nearby Arab countries, sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, have refused to accept them due to security concerns.

Eric Ruark, director of research and public relations for NumbersUSA, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the need for caution in admitting individuals from Gaza. He emphasized that every American should be alarmed by the potential implementation of such a program.

Polling data from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Research has revealed widespread support for Hamas among Palestinians, raising further concerns about the potential for individuals with extremist ties to enter the United States under the proposed plan.

Anti-Israel Protester at UCLA Encampment: ‘We Don’t Like White People’

/1 Comment/in , /by

As frat boys counter-protesting radical Palestinian supporters marching on the University of Mississippi campus are accused of “racism” for mocking the left-wing anti-Israel activists, virtually no condemnations are heard from these same voices in response to a pro-Palestinian woman outright denouncing “white people” at the UCLA encampment in Southern California.

In a viral clip that has been making the rounds on social media in recent days, an anti-Israel protester at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) can be heard dismissing a counter-protester because he is a “white person.”

“You’re just a white person; you’re a white person [so] get out — we don’t like white people,” the keffiyeh-wearing woman insisted before chanting, “Free Palestine” as she waved a Palestinian flag.

Journalist Cam Higby, who challenged the woman and filmed it, explained that she was “speaking Arabic” and “screaming about Jewish colonizers,” when he confronted her and accused her of “being mad that Hamas is hiding behind civilians.”

Israel Raids, Shuts Down News Service in the Country

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israeli authorities raided and shut down Qatar-based television news network Al Jazeera in Israel with the unanimous approval of the Israeli government, according to an official statement.

“The Government, today, unanimously approved the closure of Al Jazeera according to the proposal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi,” the statement from Netanyahu’s office released Sunday read.

The orders, signed by Karhi, reportedly went into immediate effect.

Netanyahu conceived and advanced the law based on his conviction that Al Jazeera was “harming the state,” the statement implied. Karhi implemented the law after having received “at least one security opinion and the approval of either the Government or the Security Cabinet.”

“Al Jazeera correspondents have harmed the security of Israel and incited against IDF soldiers. The time has come to eject Hamas’s mouthpiece from our country,” Netanyahu said, the statement reported. (Read more from “Israel Raids, Shuts Down News Service in the Country” HERE)

‘F**k Joe Biden’ Chant Unites Pro-Palestinian and Counter-Protesters

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pro-Palestinian protesters and counter-protesters at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa united to show their displeasure with President Joe Biden.

Video footage posted to X showed protesters on both sides chanting, “F*ck Joe Biden.”

To date, Biden’s approval rating sits at 39.5 percent, with a disapproval rating of 56.1 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight. . .

In response to the anti-Israel protests, the University of Alabama provided a list of rules that specified that free speech, free expression, and holding signs were allowed.

Things that were not allowed were, “firearms or other dangerous weapons,” and “no overnight camping, temporary shelters, or tents.” (Read more from “‘F**k Joe Biden’ Chant Unites Pro-Palestinian and Counter-Protesters” HERE)
