FBI Director Warns of Heightened Terrorism Threat on U.S. Soil Amid Israel-Hamas War (VIDEO)

FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a stark warning before Congress, highlighting the increased risk of terrorist attacks in the United States amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Wray expressed concerns about the potential exploitation of the situation by various terrorist organizations. The director specifically cited Hezbollah’s support for Hamas, Al Qaeda’s explicit call to attack the U.S., and ISIS urging its followers to target Jewish communities.

The urgency of the situation was emphasized during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing titled “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland.” Wray, along with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and National Counterterrorism Center Director Christine Abizaid, testified about the evolving threats faced by the United States.

Wray pointed out the heightened risk posed by individuals or small groups drawing inspiration from the Middle East conflict to carry out attacks within the country. The concerns extended beyond lone actors, with the FBI keeping a vigilant eye on foreign terrorist organizations, particularly Hamas. The director noted ongoing investigations into individuals affiliated with Hamas, underlining the evolving nature of the threat.

Key statements were made during the hearing, including Wray’s assertion that this is one of the most dangerous times in U.S. history. The border crisis, according to Rep. Mark Green, chairman of the committee, was presented as a contributing factor to the heightened threat level. Wray, responding to questions, acknowledged encounters with individuals on the terrorist watchlist at the southern border, adding complexity to the security situation.

Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, pressed Wray and Mayorkas on the potential vulnerabilities arising from the current border situation. With 169 encounters with individuals on the terrorist watchlist in fiscal year 2023, concerns were raised about the adequacy of detention policies.

New Poll Shreds Liberal Narratives About the Palestinians and Hamas

I mean, why are we shocked by this poll? The Left might be, along with liberal media reporters, especially for all their chest-beating about how there is a difference between Hamas and ordinary Palestinians. . .

So, how do these ordinary Palestinians feel about a two-state solution, Hamas, the October 7 attacks, and what their dream nation would be? Again, unsurprisingly, there is healthy support for the attacks, Hamas, and they want to wipe out Israel.

Arab World for Research and Development polled 668 Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, the latter being a bit interesting since we were told the heartless Israelis had cut off all telecommunications there. What raised some eyebrows is the crosstab about Iran: 64 percent don’t have a favorable view, though some noted that could be because Tehran has refused to enter the war:

Report: Iran Refuses Direct Involvement in Hamas Attacks on Israel, No Intent to Join Fight

Iran claims Hamas did not give advance notice of its Oct. 7 terrorist attacks and will not join the group in its fight against Israel, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei told Hamas head Ismail Haniyeh last month that, though Iran would continue to offer moral support, it would not get directly involved in the terror group’s fight against Israel, according to Iranian and Hamas officials who anonymously spoke to Reuters. Khamenei pressured Haniyeh to suppress Palestinian calls for Iran and Hezbollah, one of its proxy terror groups, to fully join the fight.

The Hamas Oct. 7 attacks resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of hundreds of civilians. Iran has historically supported and funded Hamas to carry out its will, as well as over a dozen other terror and militia groups located throughout the Middle East, according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

Hamas has been encouraging its Iranian-backed allies to aid in the fight against Israel since the initial Oct. 7 attacks, Reuters reported.

“Our brothers in the Islamic resistance in Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Iraq and Syria, this is the day when your resistance unites with your people in Palestine,” Hamas’ military commander Mohammed Deif said on Oct. 7.

Brain Rot: Young Americans Go Viral on China’s TikTok Spreading Ideas of Osama Bin Laden (VIDEO)

Young Americans have been going viral on the Chinese app TikTok sympathizing with Osama bin Laden and recirculating his 2002 letter in which the terrorist leader tries to justify the mass murder of Americans on September 11, 2001.

Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” went viral on China’s TikTok this week among a new generation whose members were either born after September 11, 2001, or were not old enough to remember the terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.

Amid the public debate on the Israel-Hamas war, young people are defending bin Laden for his opposition to America’s support for Israel. Videos on the topic have already garnered at least 14 million views.

Meet the American Millionaire Marxists Funding Anti-Israel Rallies

The pro-Palestinian protests over the last month, where tens of thousands in the US have chanted for the end of Israel, are not merely a story of organic rage.

They are also funded in large part by an uber-wealthy American-born tech entrepreneur, Neville Roy Singham, and his wife, Jodie Evans.

Since 2017, Singham has been the main funder of The People’s Forum, which has co-organized at least four protests after 1,200 innocent Israelis were slaughtered by Hamas on Oct. 7.

One rally, in Times Square, happened on October 8 before Israel had even counted its dead.

Based in Midtown Manhattan, The People’s Forum calls itself a “movement incubator for working class and marginalized communities to build unity across historic lines of division at home and abroad.” (Read more from “Meet the American Millionaire Marxists Funding Anti-Israel Rallies” HERE)

Revealed: Big Name in Congress a Member of ‘Secret’ Anti-Israel Facebook Group

U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has not hidden her hatred for Israel. . .

Now an investigation by Fox News Digital has revealed she is a member of a “secret” Facebook group that glorifies the Hamas terrorists.

“Rep. Rashida Tlaib is part of a secret social media group in which its members have glamorized Hamas in its war battle with Israel after the terror group attacked and killed hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians last month,” the report said.

Tlaib’s membership is with the Palestinian American Congress group on Facebook.

It is secret in that it is hidden from non-members and cannot be located on the platform’s search engine. (Read more from “Revealed: Big Name in Congress a Member of ‘Secret’ Anti-Israel Facebook Group” HERE)

Bus Drivers’ Intentional Walk-Off Leaves Hundreds of Jewish Ralliers Stranded during Pro-Israel Rally in DC

In an unexpected turn of events, hundreds of Jewish ralliers headed to Tuesday’s pro-Israel rally in Washington, DC, found themselves stranded for approximately 11 hours on the Dulles Airport tarmac due to a reported “deliberate and malicious walk-off” by bus drivers. The orchestrated effort, allegedly aimed at preventing their attendance, resulted in chaotic scenes and led to the group missing the entire March for Israel event.

The Jewish Federation of Detroit had chartered three private planes from Detroit for nearly 1,000 ralliers and arranged buses to transport them to the National Mall in DC. However, upon landing, about a third of the passengers were left stranded as several buses failed to appear on the tarmac. A spokesperson for the Federation revealed that the drivers had organized a “mass sick-out” day, leaving just a handful available to fulfill their obligations.

The unidentified bus company reportedly informed the Federation that a “significant number” of drivers called out sick upon learning that they would be transporting Jewish Americans to the pro-Israel rally. The Federation denounced the act as a “deliberate and malicious walk-off,” with organizers labeling it antisemitic, as it directly hindered the group’s participation in the rally.

Passengers stranded on the tarmac faced further challenges as they spent three hours awaiting buses, which eventually turned out not to be for their group. The charter flights couldn’t depart without pre-organized transportation, forcing those unable to board the buses back onto the planes, causing them to miss the entire event.

Throughout the day-long ordeal, organizers from the Jewish Federation of Detroit provided updates to stranded passengers about the purported counter-protest through the plane’s speaker system. Participants expressed frustration and disappointment, with one rallier calling the walkout a “deliberate antisemitic act.”

Simultaneously, on the National Mall, the March for Israel unfolded as a massive gathering, with an estimated 290,000 attendees, marking it as the largest pro-Israel event in history. Despite the challenges faced by the stranded group, the resilience and spirit of solidarity among ralliers remained evident.

Israeli Military Enters Gaza’s Largest Hospital in Targeted Operation Against Hamas

The Israeli military said it had entered Gaza’s largest hospital early Wednesday local time, breaking a standoff against the facility thought to serve as a hub of Hamas military activities, according to Israel’s military and media reports.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was carrying out “a precise and targeted operation” against Hamas in a localized area of the Al-Shifa Hospital, which it has so far balked at entering due to the medical personnel and patients in the facility, s, according to The Associated Press. But Israeli authorities have said it serves as a primary nodes for the Hamas terrorist groups‘ military operations.

“IDF forces are carrying out a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area in the Shifa Hospital, based on intelligence information and an operational necessity,” Israel’s military said in a social media statement. “The IDF is conducting a ground operation in Gaza to defeat Hamas and rescue our hostages. Israel is at war with Hamas, not with the civilians in Gaza.”

The IDF said it warned multiple times over recent weeks that Hamas’ continued use of the hospital for military purposes was endangering its status as a protected non-military target under international law.

Kamala Harris Gives Troubling Answer on Pro-Hamas Demonstrations (VIDEO)

. . .Vice President Kamala Harris gave a troubling response about the Israel-Hamas war when taking questions from reporters during her visit to the Vietnam War Memorial in South Carolina.

“This is obviously a time of significant unrest and angst for many Americans as we see war in the Middle East. What is your and the President’s message to those, especially those we see protesting across the country right now,” a reporter asked Harris.

“Well, first of all, people have a right to protest, we are a democracy and we should value the voices and listen to the voices. And so I start with that and there’s no question that for most people who are aware of what’s happening, our hearts are heavy,” the vice president tellingly began her response with.

The pro-Hamas protests going on around the country and around the world have shown displays not only of vile anti-semitism, but criminal behavior. It was after Harris took this question that pro-Hamas agitators tried to storm Grand Central Station. Protesers also removed flags on the city streets–on Veteran’s Day no less–to substitute the Palestinian flag.

But, the pro-Hamas protests that devolved into defacing statues in Lafayette Park and resulted in agitators trying to storm the White House gate did occur before Harris began by stressing the right to protest, as if these were peaceful people with peaceful goals in mind.

Contradictions Arise as U.S. Official Confirms Hamas Command Headquarters under Hospital in Gaza

At roughly 1:30 Eastern Time on Monday, CNN reported a U.S. official confirmed what was widely suspected: Hamas has command headquarters underneath Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, which has been encircled by Israel Defense Forces.

At the same time, President Biden told reporters that the hospital “must be protected.”

“A US official with knowledge of American intelligence says Hamas has a command node under the Al-Shifa hospital, uses fuel intended for it and its fighters regularly cluster in and around Gaza’s largest hospital,” CNN reported, adding, “Hamas and hospital officials have denied the accusation that the hospital is being used as a command center.”

That followed National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stating on Sunday, “You can see even from open-source reporting that Hamas does use hospitals, along with a lot of other civilian facilities, for command-and-control, for storing weapons, for housing its fighters. Without getting into this specific hospital or that specific claim, this is Hamas’ track record, both historically and in this conflict.”

Yet as the White House confirmed that Hamas has command headquarters under the hospital, Biden told reporters at the White House, “It’s my hope and expectation that there will be less intrusive action relative to the hospital. The hospital must be protected.” (Read more from “Contradictions Arise as U.S. Official Confirms Hamas Command Headquarters under Hospital in Gaza” HERE)
