Facebook Removes Pro-Israel Page With Over 75 Million Followers

/0 Comments/in , /by

The founder of a pro-Israel Facebook page that had over 75 million followers says Facebook shut down the page after “radical Islamic” groups reportedly waged a “cyber terrorism” campaign targeting the page with hate speech.

Mike Evans, the founder of the “Jerusalem Prayer Team” page, told CBN News his Facebook page was the target of a harassment campaign that was orchestrated by radical Islamic organizations who posted fake comments and then reported those comments as spam to Facebook.

“There was an organized attempt by radical Islamic organizations to achieve this objective. They posted over a million comments on our site, and then had the people contact Facebook saying that they never posted to the site,” Evans said. “That was a complete scam and fraud. It was a very clever, deceptive plan by Islamic radicals.”

Evans, who is currently in Israel leading people around the world in prayer for the country amid renewed violence with Hamas and Palestinian terrorist groups, said his page was flooded with anti-Semitic comments — including photos of and quotes from Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. He also said the same groups that posted the comments directed people to report them to Facebook, flagging them as spam that violated the platform’s terms of service.

Activist Groups That Support Terrorists Organize Anti-Israel Protests Across U.S.

/1 Comment/in , /by

Pro-Palestine groups organized dozens of anti-Israel demonstrations in major U.S. cities over the weekend after Israeli forces responded to rocket attacks from Gaza with airstrikes.

Samidoun, a group designated as a terror organization in Israel with active chapters in the U.S., advertised 80 demonstrations from Friday through Sunday, with 49 occurring in major cities across the U.S. on Saturday. The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), an anti-Israel group, organized a handful of the demonstrations.

“There are currently over 200 martyrs throughout Palestine and on the borders with Lebanon, and the entire land of Palestine is rising … confronting the most brutal violence of the colonizer with steadfastness, struggle, and a revolutionary promise of a liberated future,” Samidoun said.

Samidoun and the PYM helped organize “days of resistance” protests across the U.S. in August 2020 where some participants carried the flags of Hezbollah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Both groups are designated as Foreign Terror Organizations by the State Department, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported. . .

Thousands of demonstrators protested for hours in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday and climbed onto street lights, set off fireworks and stopped traffic in some areas, NBC New York reported. Samidoun advertised the protest and listed its New York chapter as an organizer. (Read more from “Activist Groups That Support Terrorists Organize Anti-Israel Protests Across U.S.” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Israel said it shared “smoking gun” evidence with Biden administration officials that Hamas militants were operating out of a building in the Gaza Strip that housed media outlets that was reduced to rubble by Israeli rockets, according to a report on Sunday.

President Biden spoke to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday, a discussion that included the bombing of the building, and Israel showed Biden and other American officials the intelligence behind their decision, the Jerusalem Post reported on Sunday.

“We showed them the smoking gun proving Hamas worked out of that building,” the newspaper reported, citing a source close to Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi. “I understand they found the explanation satisfactory.”

In a readout of the call from the White House, Biden reaffirmed “Israel’s right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza. . .

An Israeli airstrike destroyed the 12-story building in the Gaza Strip that contained the offices of the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and other news outlets an hour after the Israeli military ordered the building be evacuated.

Report: Israel Showed U.S. Intelligence ‘Smoking Gun’ on Hamas Using Media Building

By Breitbart. Israel reportedly showed U.S. officials “smoking gun” intelligence Sunday indicating that the Palestinian Hamas terrorist organization was using the Jala Tower in Gaza, which also housed the Associated Press, Al Jazeera, and other international news outlets.

On Saturday, Israel destroyed the tower, after warning the occupants to allow them to leave. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tweeted that the building contained “Hamas military intelligence assets” and that the media had been used as “human shields.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also highlighted the destruction of the building on his Instagram account.

The Associated Press denied any knowledge that the building had been used by terrorists, and international press freedom groups accused Israel of trying to censor coverage of events in Gaza. The Biden administration also complained about the strike. (Read more from “Report: Israel Showed U.S. Intelligence ‘Smoking Gun’ on Hamas Using Media Building” HERE)

U.S. Ready To Help Israel, Palestinians if They Seek a Ceasefire

By The Epoch Times. The United States told the United Nations Security Council on Sunday it has made clear to Israel, the Palestinians and others that it is ready to offer support “should the parties seek a ceasefire” to end the worsening violence between Israel and Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza.

“The United States has been working tirelessly through diplomatic channels to try to bring an end to this conflict,” U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the 15-member council. “Because we believe Israelis and Palestinians equally have a right to live in safety and security.”

As the U.N. Security Council convened to discuss the worst Israeli-Palestinian violence in years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel’s campaign in Gaza was continuing at “full force.”

Netanyahu also defended an Israeli air strike on Saturday that destroyed a 12-story building where the Associated Press and the Al Jazeera TV network had offices. He said the structure also housed a terrorist group’s intelligence office and was thus a legitimate target.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the United Nations is “actively engaging all sides toward an immediate ceasefire” and called on them “to allow mediation efforts to intensify and succeed.” (Read more from “U.S. Ready To Help Israel, Palestinians if They Seek a Ceasefire” HERE)

Israel Nears Full Blown War With Hamas; Dems Divide Over Israel on Full Display; U.S. Evacuates Military Personnel From Israel

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. Escalating violence between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas has cast a spotlight on deepening Democratic divisions over the Jewish state.

The party split played out in full view on social media this week after Hamas launched indiscriminate rocket attacks at Israel, which responded with airstrikes on Hamas targets in Gaza, reportedly killing some civilians. Israel is also dealing with domestic unrest from Arab rioters.

International observers are concerned about the possibility of “full-scale war.” . . .

President Biden and the Democratic old guard have voiced support for Israel’s right to defend itself from Hamas’ rocket attacks.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted Thursday that there are “fundamental differences between a terrorist organization, Hamas, that is indiscriminately raining down rockets — in fact, targeting civilians — and Israel’s response defending itself, that is targeting the terrorists.” Biden similarly said that Israel “has a right to defend itself.”

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) sent ground troops into Gaza early Friday morning local time, in an effort to uproot Palestinian terrorists who have fired nearly 2,000 rockets at Israeli civilians over the past several days.

The IDF tweeted after midnight:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted a video message, vowing to restore “quiet and security to the State of Israel.”

He added: “The last word was not been said, and this operation will continue as long as necessary.” That may have been a warning to the international community, including the United Nations, not to intervene until Hamas had been defeated. (Read more from “Israel Sends Ground Troops Into Gaza HERE)

Biden: Israel Didn’t Overreact In Its Gaza Response

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden said Thursday that he does not think Israel has overreacted in its response to massive rocket fire from Gaza.

“One of the things I’ve seen thus far is that there has not been a significant overreaction [by Israel],” he said during a press conference.

“The question is how they get to a point where there is a significant reduction in the attacks, particularly the rocket attacks that are indiscriminately fired into population centers, but I expect that I’ll be having some more discussions,” Biden added.

He also noted that his administration is in frequent contact with Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and others about finding an end to the violence. (Read more from “Biden: Israel Didn’t Overreact In Its Gaza Response” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters on Tuesday he witnessed photos of Palestinian children killed amid a barrage of rocket fire from Hamas, and a response from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and “hard not to look at those pictures and feel a sense of the suffering.”

Price, speaking at his regular press briefing, called for “restraint and de-escalation in an effort to preserve life,” according to the Times of Israel.

“Reports of civilian deaths are something that we regret and would like to come to a stop. We don’t want to see provocations,” Price said. “The provocations we have seen have resulted in a deeply lamentable loss of life.”

“We call for restraint and for calm. Israel has the right to defend itself and to respond to rocket attacks,” Price said. “The Palestinian people also have the right to safety and security, just as Israelis do.” (Read more from “Biden State Department Sympathizes With Palestine After Hamas Attack” HERE)

Donald Trump: Palestinian Rocket Attacks on Israel Provoked by Joe Biden’s ‘Weakness’

By Breitbart. Former President Donald Trump released a statement condemning the Biden administration for showing “weakness and lack of support for Israel” amid Palestinian terror raids.

“When I was in office we were known as Peace Presidency, because Israel’s adversaries know that the United States stood strongly with Israel and there would be swift retribution if Israel was attacked,” the statement reads.

Trump explained, “Under Biden, the world is getting more violent and more unstable because Biden’s weakness and lack of support for Israel is leading to new attacks on our allies.” . . .

Trump concluded by slamming Democrats who “continue to stand by crazed anti-America Rep. Ilhan Omar, and others, who savagely attack Israel while they are under terrorist assault.”

Terrorist Group Launches Rockets at Jerusalem on National Holiday (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The city of Jerusalem, Israel was attacked Monday by the militant Palestinian group Hamas on the day of Yom Yerushalayim — a holiday celebrating the reunification of Israel after the Six-Day War of 1967.

Hamas, a radical Islamist group, launched dozens of rockets from Gaza to Jerusalem and Central Israel. Footage shows children and parents scrambling as rocket sirens go off.

A fire started on the Temple Mount next to Al Aqsa Mosque. The mosque is in the same area as the Dome of the Rock — an ancient shrine in Old City.

A Palestinian Authority election was recently canceled in Israel. The election was scheduled for May 22 but PA President Mahmoud Abbas was likely to lose to Hamas and decided to blame Israel in the postponement decision. “We have decided to postpone the election until the participation of our people in Jerusalem is guaranteed,” Abbas said.

Iran Foreign Minister: John Kerry Gave Me Intel on Israeli Covert Ops; Kerry Isn’t the First Massachusetts Democrat Accused of Assisting an Enemy; Kerry’s Possible Defense in Iran Leak Uproar Could Show He Undermined Trump

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By WND. Iran’s foreign minister disclosed in leaked audio reported by the New York Times that John Kerry informed him that Israel engaged in more than 200 covert operations against Iran in Syria.

Mohammad Javad Zarif – who was Iran’s chief negotiator in the 2015 nuclear deal – claimed he received the intel while Kerry was serving as secretary of state, according to the report. Zarif said that at the time, the Revolutionary Guard Corps and supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei kept him in the dark about Iran’s government negotiations and military operations.

The Times reported, citing the audio, that Kerry’s disclosure shocked Zarif.

After widespread condemnation on Monday, Kerry denied the report. . .

On Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh confirmed the authenticity of the recording, explaining it was part of a seven-hour interview Zarif made for a think tank tied to the Iranian presidency. Khatibzadeh called the leak “illegal,” insisting it was “selectively” edited. But he said nothing about how it might have been released.

John Kerry Isn’t the First Massachusetts Democrat Accused of Assisting an Enemy

By Breitbart. The news about John Kerry is startling. The former U.S. senator from Massachusetts and secretary of state, now President Joe Biden’s climate czar, is accused of leaking sensitive—possibly classified—information to an enemy power, Iran. . .

Back in 2010, investigative journalist Kevin Mooney recalled the sneakiness—some would call it treasonous—committed in the early 1980s by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) and a close friend, former Sen. John Tunney (D-CA).

Mooney’s article pieced together various earlier reports—including from a Russian defector, Vasiliy Mitrokhin, as verified by American scholars Herbert Romerstein and Paul Kengor—to summarize serious accusations against Kennedy and Tunney.

Back in 1983, Kennedy dispatched Tunney, whom a KGB spy memo described as Kennedy’s “close friend and trusted confidant,” to deliver a message to Moscow; the message was that the the Russians should work with Democrats, and not the Republican president at the time, Ronald Reagan, to advance the joint interests of Democrats and Russians.

Tunney explained that if the Soviet Union played ball with him, then American liberals in the media would repay the favor by showcasing favorable coverage of the communist empire and its leader, Yuri Andropov.

John Kerry’s Possible Defense in Iran Leak Uproar Could Show He Undermined Trump

By Washington Examiner. A leaked recording of Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has prompted allegations that John Kerry gave classified information to Iran, but the former secretary of state’s most persuasive defense could depend on his willingness to explain whether he undercut former President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure campaign” against Tehran.

Zarif’s statement that Kerry notified him about “more than 200 attacks on Iranian forces in Syria” strikes some Republican lawmakers as an indication that Kerry betrayed Israeli secrets. Other observers, including the London-based Persian outlet that first published the audio, think it more likely that Zarif is referring to comments made during meetings after Kerry left office, when the Israeli barrages were well known — and the new U.S. administration suspected that their Democratic critics were encouraging Iranian officials to defy Trump’s use of economic sanctions to pressure them to begin negotiating a stricter nuclear deal.

“This is an impetus, many of us have been waiting for, to press current senior officials to disclose as much detail as possible about their ongoing relationships with senior officials of the leading state sponsor of terrorism over the last four years,” said Richard Goldberg, one of Trump’s top Iran advisers. “How did these now-current officials of the U.S. government actively undermine the United States of America in front of a leading state sponsor of terrorism. That’s the outrage.”

The trajectory of the controversy could depend on the timing of Kerry’s conversations with Zarif, provided that the dialogue took place as the Iranian diplomat says. . .Iran International, a media outlet reviled by the regime in Tehran, published the audio but assessed that Kerry was referencing public information well after leaving office.

Israel Kicking Out Jewish Rabbi for Spreading Christianity

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Jerusalem rabbi who’s suspected of being an undercover Christian missionary from New Jersey is getting a one-way ticket out of Israel — and, depending on your spiritual beliefs, a possible first-class booking into heaven.

His family had allegedly spent years assimilating into an ultra-Orthodox community in the Holy City, becoming so embedded that the so-called cleric had even been known to perform marriage rites for couples, according to Israel’s nonprofit missionary watchdog organization Beyneynu.

The missionary’s ulterior position? Converting members of the Jewish faith to Christianity, the watchdog group claimed.

“The family has been under surveillance for at least seven years,” said Beyneynu researcher Shannon Nussan in a statement to ultra-Orthodox website Behadrei Haredim. “[We have been] investigating the case of a covert missionary in French Hill for many years,” but moved to expose him now “due to one of the missionary’s children proselytizing in school.” (Read more from “Israel Kicking Out Jewish Rabbi for Spreading Christianity” HERE)
