Poll Shows Alarming Support for Hamas but Likely Understates the Problem

According to a new Harvard/Harris poll, only the police and military are more respected than Israel.

It’s heartening that Americans overwhelmingly support civilization over the Islamofascists of Gaza and Iran.

Then again, “Palestinian Authority” gets 17% support, and Hamas has a 14% positive rating — which is to say 14% of your neighbors have taken the side of a medieval religious cult that’s vicious enough to cut Jewish babies out of mothers before beheading them.

If 14% of Americans supported ISIS or al Qaeda or the Nazi Party, we would probably be concerned.

Anyway, those numbers seem far too small to me. I think there’s a good reason why. (Read more from “Poll Shows Alarming Support for Hamas but Likely Understates the Problem” HERE)

Iran’s Top Diplomat: U.S. ‘Will Not Be Spared From This Fire’ if It Continues to Support Israel

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian threatened further attacks against the United States and its interests at the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York on Thursday.

Iran is already launching rocket and drone attacks against bases housing American personnel in Iraq and Syria, using Shiite militia groups controlled by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). U.S. forces have been able to intercept most of these attacks, but dozens of minor injuries have been reported.

“I say frankly to the American statesmen, who are now managing the genocide in Palestine, that we do not welcome expansion of the war in the region. But if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire,” Amirabdollahian told the U.N. General Assembly.

The Iranian foreign minister was referring to Israel’s carefully targeted bombing campaign against Hamas terrorists hiding behind human shields in Gaza, an operation that does not meet any legal or common-sense definition of “genocide.” (Read more from “Iran’s Top Diplomat: U.S. ‘Will Not Be Spared From This Fire’ if It Continues to Support Israel” HERE)

California City the First in U.S. To Condemn Israel, Accuse Jewish State of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ in Gaza

A California city has become the first in the US to pass a resolution condemning Israel — accusing the Jewish nation of committing “ethnic cleansing and collective punishment.”

The resolution passed by the Richmond City Council around 1 a.m. Wednesday states, in part, that Palestinians in Gaza “are currently facing a campaign of ethnic cleansing and collective punishment by the state of Israel.”

That “is considered a war crime under international law,” the resolution states.

It also calls for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the safe passage of substantial humanitarian aid to Gaza,” as well as an “end to Israeli apartheid and the occupation and blockade of Palestinian land by Israeli military forces.”

“The city of Richmond opposes all existing and future military aid to Israel,” it concludes, while attempting to express support for Jewish members of its community. (Read more from “California City the First in U.S. To Condemn Israel, Accuse Jewish State of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ in Gaza” HERE)

Iranian Foreign Minister Arrives in New York, Praises Hamas as Legitimate ‘Resistance Group’

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian arrived in New York on Thursday to attend a session of the U.N. General Assembly.

Amirabdollahian praised the terrorists of Hamas as a lawful and legitimate “resistance group” to reporters and delivered a belligerent speech to the U.N., threatening dire consequences for the United States and Israel if the Israelis continue their assault on Hamas in Gaza.

Before leaving for New York, Amirabdollahian saluted the Hamas terrorists and proclaimed, “Resistance in the region is a reality.”

Amirabdollahian accused Israel of “retreating from the battlefield and targeting civilians,” as if Hamas had challenged the Israelis to a joust rather than launching a horrific surprise attack against innocent women and children.

“The continued killing of civilians by the Zionists narrows the space for the forces of resistance in Palestine and the region,” he complained. (Read more from “Iranian Foreign Minister Arrives in New York, Praises Hamas as Legitimate ‘Resistance Group’” HERE)

U.N. Security Council Silent as China, Russia Tank Statement Condemning Hamas

Another attempt by the United Nations Security Council to address the October 7 Hamas massacre of over 1,400 people in Israel failed on Wednesday as permanent members China and Russia vetoed an American-drafted resolution, supported by most Council members, that would have condemned the jihadist terrorist group.

The American draft resolution’s failure preceded a vote on a draft resolution by Russia – the second introduced by the Hamas-friendly government of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin – calling for a “ceasefire” preventing Israel from taking measures to protect its citizens from another Hamas slaughter. That resolution failed decisively, garnering only four votes.

The Security Council has not addressed the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian terrorist groups since 2016 and has done nothing to act in the face of the Hamas mass murder nearly 20 days ago, remaining in a state that Brazil’s representative to the body lamented as “paralysis” following the first few failed votes on prospective resolutions. Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on that day for a terrorist onslaught it named the “al-Aqsa flood,” in which terrorists went door-to-door killing, raping, torturing, and abducting entire families.

Hamas terrorists opened fire on concert-goers at a music festival, decapitated babies and burned them alive, and took over 200 hostages, most of which remain in Gaza. (Read more from “U.N. Security Council Silent as China, Russia Tank Statement Condemning Hamas” HERE)

Israeli Military Conducts Raid in Gaza for Second Night in a Row

The IDF sent a ‘limited’ number of troops and tanks into the Gaza Strip for a second raid on Friday.

“Infantry, armored and engineering forces under the command of Gesh (36) and accompanied by IDF helicopters and helicopter gunships raided in the last day in the center of the Gaza Strip,” the branch wrote on X.

“As part of the operation, the forces attacked dozens of terrorist targets, including positions for launching anti-tank missiles and operational headquarters, as well as terrorists of the terrorist organization Hamas.”

IDF aircraft and artillery attacked Hamas targets “in Sajaia neighborhood and throughout the strip” in conjunction with the ground entry.

There were no Israeli casualties during the raid, the branch shared. (Read more from “Israeli Military Conducts Raid in Gaza for Second Night in a Row” HERE)

Israel Agrees to Delay Gaza Offensive to Allow U.S. Missile Defense Placement

Israel has agreed to delay its invasion of Gaza until the United States can position missile defenses to protect against a predicted uptick in Iran-backed terror attacks on American troops in the region.

The air defense systems could be in place by the latter part of this week, defense officials say. The Israeli delay was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

The outlet also reported that the Jewish state is weighing factors such as deliveries of humanitarian aid to the southern part of the Gaza Strip as well as efforts to secure the release of approximately 200 hostages held by Hamas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not confirm the reasons for holding off on the long-expected attack in an address to the nation Wednesday, but did say that his country’s military is “preparing for a ground entry.”

“I will not elaborate on when, how or how many,” Netanyahu said. “I will also not elaborate on the various calculations we are making, which the public is mostly unaware of and that is how things should be.” (Read more from “Israel Agrees to Delay Gaza Offensive to Allow U.S. Missile Defense Placement” HERE)

IDF Releases Raw Interrogation Footage of Multiple Hamas Terrorists Who Killed Israelis (VIDEO)

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released raw footage of alleged Palestinian Islamic terrorists that they interrogated in recent days following their unprecedented attacks on the country earlier this month.

The footage shows the faces, full names, and rank of several of the captured terrorists. All of the terrorists were in handcuffs, one was wearing a shirt that was covered in blood.

The terrorists described the tasks that they were ordered to carry out, which included taking over military posts near the Gaza-Israel border, massacring civilians in kibbutzs, and kidnapping the civilians they could control.

Those who were able to kidnap civilians got financial rewards, including apartments and $10,000.

“The goal of our infiltration for them was to capture and kidnap as many as possible,” one terrorist said.

Israel War: Biden Has ‘No Confidence’ in Gaza Death Numbers

President Joe Biden said he has “no confidence” that the death toll provided by Palestinian authorities is accurate.

The Palestinian Health Ministry, which is overseen by Hamas, claims that 6,546 Gazans have been killed since Oct. 7, with 17,439 wounded. They also claim that another 100 Palestinians in the West Bank have been killed over the same period, with 1,650 wounded. However, Biden cast doubt on the veracity of those figures on Wednesday when presented with the figures by PBS correspondent Laura Barrón-López.

“In the 18 days since Hamas killed 1,400 Israelis, the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry says Israeli forces have killed over 6,000 Palestinians, including 2,700 children,” Barrón-López said. “You’ve previously asked Netanyahu to minimize civilian casualties. Do these numbers say to you that he’s ignoring that message?”

“What they say to me is I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed,” Biden responded.

“I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s the price of waging a war,” he continued. (Read more from “Israel War: Biden Has ‘No Confidence’ in Gaza Death Numbers” HERE)

WATCH: Hamas Co-Founder’s Son: Israel Must Destroy Hamas; U.S. Should Back Israel; Stop Sending Aid to Gaza

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of the founders of Hamas, said during an interview on Monday that Israel must go into Gaza and destroy the terrorist group.

While part of Hamas, Yousef, 45, became one of Israel’s top informants to prevent terrorist attacks. He worked for Israel’s Shin Bet security services for a decade from 1997 through 2007 and now lives in an undisclosed location in the United States.

During an interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper, Yousef was asked if he thought it was a good idea for Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to go into Gaza to root out Hamas after the Palestinian Islamic terrorist group murdered more than 1,400 people in Israel.

“Now it’s a wartime, unfortunately,” he said. “And this war, Israel did not start. Hamas started this war. And Hamas, in fact, in this equation, blood for money, they start a war every few years whenever they want money. You know, they shed children’s blood. This is their game. And this has to stop. This has to come to an end.” (Read more from “Hamas Co-Founder’s Son: Israel Must Destroy Hamas; U.S. Should Back Israel; Stop Sending Aid to Gaza” HERE)
