10/17 Links Pt2: Why won’t the Jews just let themselves be killed?; Silence of the tenured lambs; 'Antiracist' Intellectual Blames Israel for Hamas Atrocities

From Ian:

Brendan O'Neill: Why won’t the Jews just let themselves be killed?
There is something really grim in the marshalling of the rules of war to shame Israel. Many of these rules – the Geneva Conventions, human-rights law – were introduced in the aftermath of the Second World War and the Nazis’ attempted destruction of the Jews. And yet now it is the Jewish State more than any other – more than the warmongers of the Saudi regime, the bomb-happy Turks, the destructive imperial powers of America, Britain and France – that has these postwar rules barked in its face. ‘We will protect you from genocide’, the Western world said to Jews, yet now it wags its postwar officious finger in Jews’ faces because they dare to hunt down men who committed an act of genocidal terrorism against them. The cant and perfidy of the postwar order have rarely been so starkly exposed. There is a concerted effort to quasi-criminalise Israel’s desire to protect its people from racist torment and murder.

The West’s anti-Israel elites seem utterly bereft of the essentials of morality. Consider their insistence on moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas. Israel kills children too, they say, so is it really any better than Hamas? The moral infantilism of such hollow platitudes is difficult to comprehend. If you cannot tell the difference between people killed as a consequence of war and people killed because they are Jews, then you are beyond help. Everyone – including Israel – regrets the collateral damage of the war in Gaza, especially if the victims are children. But such tragedy cannot be compared to Hamas’s murder of children in southern Israel for being Jewish. That is of an entirely different order to war. It is the conscious, willing destruction of innocent life from the standpoint of venomous racial hatred. To kill a child on account of its race is the most unconscionable act a society can commit. It is an act of unforgiving eugenicism that brings shame on our species. Nothing – including the accidental deaths of civilians in conflict – comes close to the mindset that would erase a child as an expression of its deeper desire to erase a people.

It is horrendous that children in Gaza have died. Which is why some of us believe the US, the UK and the UN should be putting enormous pressure on their tyrannical allies in Egypt right now to construct well-resourced, Red Cross-approved refugee camps in the Sinai to which Gazans might flee. However, it is a warning sign to civilisation itself that Jewish children have been killed for being Jewish children. That in this new millennium the genocidal execution of Jews has returned. The Western world fails to recognise at its peril what a vast moral challenge this poses to the enlightened values we claim to hold dear.

Israel’s Western haters cannot see what is at stake. This is about more than the Middle East. It is about whether we are willing to stand against the forces of unreason and anti-Semitism, and for the values of liberty and decency. Are you for civilisation or barbarism – that is what the horrific events of last Saturday demanded of us all. Far too many are giving the wrong answer.
Hamas invaded Israel to murder Jews, not for Palestinian statehood
The connection between the horrors of the Holocaust and of the massacre in Israel are clear. The Nazis hated Jews because they were Jews. They murdered Jews because they were Jews. And Hamas did too. They hate Jews and they hate the fact that Jewish people have a sovereign country of their own.

It was the dehumanizing effect of antisemitism that motivated Hamas terrorists to murder babies, to execute elderly couples, to abuse corpses, and to rape women.

Antisemitism is also the reason Hamas supporters across the world are celebrating this week. It is the cause for the rise in attacks on Jews across Europe, it is the cause for speakers at rallies extolling the virtues of those who carried out unspeakable acts of barbarism. Those people on the streets of London or New York cover themselves in progress labels but they are racists, nothing more, nothing less.

Israel will defeat Hamas. It will recover from the devastating events and use its military might to ensure that what happened last Saturday can never happen again. That is the right and responsibility of any country toward its citizens.

For the rest of us, there is another mission, a parallel one. That is to wage a no less committed and concerted campaign to defeat antisemitism. It won’t be with military force but it should be with all the tools we have at our disposal. Through education, through legislation, through the media, and by calling out antisemitism wherever we see it.

In 1945, the world promised “Never Again.” But it did happen again. This past week, not for the first time we were reminded exactly where antisemitism always leads. We were reminded that the fight against antisemitism is a fight to save Jewish lives. It is a fight we have no choice but to win.
Jonathan Greenblatt: Let’s Be Honest About the Hate That Drove the Hamas Attack
The Third Reich constructed a vast edifice of empire predicated on the core idea of answering the “Jewish Question.” It expanded into all spheres, not just military, but arts, industry, faith, and more, instrumentalizing these sectors to pursue their objective of eradicating the world of the Jewish people. For years, their neighbors in Europe ignored the facts or underestimated their ambition or dismissed their stated goals. It took the combined forces of the Allied powers and the horrifying, singular discovery of the concentration camps, to awaken the conscience of the West, or at least force it to reckon with the price of its inertia and ignorance.

Few thought such an egregious moral failure could replicate itself. No one imagined it might be possible for the world to miss such a moment once again. I know what I would do, ordinary people have told themselves, trying to appease their consciences.

Think again.

And yet, even with the sight of brutalized, raped women being paraded across Gaza by gleeful militants and hooted at by cheering crowds, we see rallies across America and in European capitals extolling the resistance and denying the inhumanity so obvious that it boggles the mind and chills the soul. We see students at our most prestigious and famous university, Harvard, blaming Israel for the massacre of its own citizens. At ADL, we are tracking dozens of demonstrations and countless op-eds blaming Israel for this massacre of its own people at the hands of hooligans with automatic weapons, men funded and trained in the dark arts of death by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

If we are to move forward and address such moral corruption, it will not be achieved after a single military maneuver in Gaza. As we saw in the wake of the World War II, we need a philosophical and psychological reckoning, a wholesale cleansing of the ideology of antisemitism and hate that leads people to ridicule life and applaud death.

We need a modern day “de-Nazification” that seeks to find a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian impasse. It must address the absolute moral rot at the core of the anti-Zionism that fueled the Hamas massacre, that fills the sermons of countless imams across the Muslim world, that informs the college students praising the massacre as “decolonization,” that tells activists that it’s reasonable to pull up swastikas on their cellphones when they see a Jewish person.

This is the real and long-term fight. In the short term, the difficult challenge for the Israeli military will be targeting the Hamas infrastructure—operation centers, where they store their materiel, where their Gaza leadership is hiding out—while making all efforts to limit civilian casualties. But it will take decades to rid the world of the disease of antizionism that has settled in like a permanent plague.

The process must start now.


IDF confirms Islamic Jihad failed rocket destroyed Gaza hospital
The IDF confirmed late Tuesday night that Islamic Jihad's failed rocket had destroyed a Gaza hospital, leading to a still unclear number of deaths.

The IDF said that it had multiple intelligence sources that had confirmed that Islamic Jihad, and not Israel, were responsible, despite accusations by Hamas and some other countries.

"The entire world should know: It was barbaric terrorists in Gaza that attacked the hospital in Gaza and not the IDF. Those who brutally murdered our children also murder their own children," Netanyahu declared late Tuesday night.

The IDF took two hours to confirm their security assessment before announcing that PIJ was responsible for the explosion.

"An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit," the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said.


Revisiting Israel's "Gettysburg Address" — which was delivered in 1956 after an attack from Gaza
We begin with Moshe Dayan’s Eulogy for Roi Rotberg, which has become Israel’s Gettysburg Address:

In the mid-1950’s, what had been cross border attacks by individual infiltrators morphed into incursions by armed and well-trained squads of fedayeen who were supported and equipped by their host governments, particularly the Egyptian military.

One of the kibbutzim that was the target of repeated such incursions was Nachal Oz, on the Gaza border. Nachal Oz was, of course, attacked again this past week.

According to the IDF website, by the way, this is the woman whose heroism last week prevented a larger slaughter at Nahal Oz. Perhaps we’ll come back to that.

Back to 1956.

On April 29, 1956, twenty-one-year-old Roi Rotberg was patrolling the fields of Nachal Oz, where he lived, on horseback. Accustomed to seeing Gazans illegally picking the kibbutz’s fields, when Rotberg saw a group of Arabs in the fields, he rode toward them to get them to leave. But it was a trap, and as Rotberg approached the “farmers,” a group of fedayeen suddenly appeared, shot and killed Rotberg, then dragged his body into Gaza, where it was horrifically mutilated.

Not a lot has changed, obviously.

Coincidentally, Dayan had met Rotberg a few days earlier. He attended the funeral and delivered a brief eulogy (merely 238 words in total) that became Dayan’s—and then, many Israelis’—classic statement about the inevitability of a long and costly conflict between Israel and its neighbors. Dayan reminded his listeners that there was nothing surprising about Arab resentment and violence. “Let us not hurl blame at the murderers,” he said. “Why should we complain of their hatred for us? Eight years have they sat in the refugee camps of Gaza, and seen, with their own eyes, how we have made a homeland of the soil and the villages where they and their forebears once dwelt.”

Yet if mere Israeli survival was going to evoke Arab anger, Dayan then warned both his listeners and his entire newborn nation, Israelis had better be prepared to live by the sword.

In language filled with biblical imagery, as if to remind his listeners that the battle to stay in the land was not new but was a story that had begun thousands of years earlier, Dayan continued,
We mustn’t flinch from the hatred that accompanies and fills the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs, who live around us and are waiting for the moment when their hands may claim our blood. We mustn’t avert our eyes, lest our hands be weakened. That is the decree of our generation. That is the choice of our lives—to be willing and armed, strong and unyielding, lest the sword be knocked from our fists, and our lives severed.
Walter Russell Mead: Hamas Would Never Have Dared Attack Israel without Iran's Backing
There is accumulating evidence that the killers from Hamas lacked even the humanity to grant their victims the mercy of a quick death. In far too many cases, the victims were tortured before they were killed. Decent people everywhere, including pious Muslims, recoiled from acts of barbarity that recall the darkest moments in human history.

Basic decency, however, is not universal. There are Jew-haters among us. Moved by bloodlust and orgiastic fantasies, they thronged the streets and squares of Europe and marched across American campuses. Jew-hatred for them is a passion so pure, so justified, that those who torture Jewish children and slaughter helpless babies are heroes.

Team Biden does not seem to have internalized the reality that the American policy to develop a U.S.-Iranian detente that would allow the U.S. to reduce its role in the region remains a destabilizing force in the Middle East. It has discomfited our friends, disrupted our alliances, emboldened terrorists, and provided Iran's mullahs with the resources to turn both Hizbullah and Hamas into formidably destructive forces.

While the perpetrators of these horrors came from Gaza, those ultimately responsible do not live there. It is the mullahs and the agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran who provided the resources, training and encouragement without which the Hamas leadership would neither have dared nor been able to unleash this evil on the world.

Iran is at war with Israel and with the U.S. It does not seek compromise or accommodation. It does not want its interests respected or its grievances redressed. It wants what it says it wants: a holocaust in Israel and the destruction of the U.S. We must be honest with ourselves. We have a war on our hands with the worst kind of enemy. Wishful thinking won't make it go away.
Yair Rosenberg: What Hamas Wants
In October 2014, Vanity Fair published an investigative report on a sophisticated plot by the Islamist terror group Hamas to kill and kidnap Israelis on the Gaza border using underground tunnels to infiltrate nearby civilian enclaves on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.

The operation had two goals: "First, get in and massacre people in a village. Pull off something they could show on television. Second, the ability to kidnap soldiers and civilians using the tunnels would give them a great bargaining chip." But the tunnels were gradually detected and blocked. On Oct. 7, Hamas executed something quite like the attack on the Gaza border that it had planned all those years ago.

Successive Israeli governments and security officials spent recent years lifting economic restrictions on Gaza, granting thousands of work permits for Gazans, and transferring hundreds of millions of Qatari dollars to Hamas in exchange - they thought - for relative quiet. But it turned out that Hamas wasn't being pacified; it was preparing. The group was less committed to national liberation than to Jewish elimination. What Hamas did was the explicit fulfillment of its long-stated objectives.

The question is not why Hamas did what it did, but why so many people were surprised. Journalists like me failed to take Hamas' overt anti-Jewish ethos as seriously as we should have. Many got Hamas wrong. But they shouldn't have. Again and again, people say they intend to murder Jews. And yet, century after century, the world produces new, tortuous justifications for why anti-Jewish bigots don't really mean what they say - even though they do.
Hamas atrocities and the ICC
On the morning of Oct. 7, thousands of bloodthirsty terrorists from the Gaza Strip infiltrated Israel. In the course of the following hours, the terrorists murdered 1,300 people. Men, women, children, the elderly, the disabled and even babies were butchered—some decapitated while others were burned alive. Some were raped. Thousands more were injured. As many as 150 people, including children, were kidnapped by the terrorists and led back into Gaza.

Simultaneously, the Gazan terrorists fired thousands of rockets, missiles and mortars, indiscriminately targeting Israel’s civilian population. There is no doubt whatsoever that multiple atrocities committed by the Gazan terrorists come under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity were all committed individually and jointly by both the terrorists who physically participated in the massacres and by the leaders of the terrorist organizations who sent them. So should Israel or private persons be preparing a complaint to the ICC against the terrorists?

As an international institution, the ICC is not a regular court. It was established to deal with the most heinous of crimes, only in situations in which the sovereign countries could not or would not ensure the prosecution of the offenders. As an international institution, the court functions on a purely voluntary basis and only wields jurisdiction when a country joins the court on a permanent basis or for an ad hoc event or period. Simplified, the idea is that each country that joins effectively delegates its own criminal jurisdiction to deal with specified crimes. A common thief, or even a murderer, has nothing to fear from the ICC.

Initially, Israel was a dominant driving force to establish the court. However, once anti-Israel forces managed to kidnap the drafting process for the court’s statute and add into it offenses specifically tailored only for the Jewish state, Israel never joined.

While membership in the court is limited to states (that actually exist), in 2015, the “State of Palestine” decided to join the court. Despite the fact that no “State of Palestine” exists—or ever existed—the court welcomed its new member.

Since then, the Palestinians have done all they can to weaponize the court against Israel, submitting complaint after complaint and report after report. The intensive Palestinian activities bore fruit in 2019 when the prosecutor of the court announced that sufficient evidence had been gathered to open an investigation against Israel.


Alan M. Dershowitz: The Choices of War: Hamas Using Kidnapped Israelis as Human Shields, What Should Israel Do?
Israel has a right under international law to prefer preventing the deaths of its own civilians over inadvertently causing the deaths of enemy civilians.

These and other micro-questions do not detract from the macro-answer that when a tragic choice must be made between the life of a soldier and a civilian, all other things being equal, the civilian life should be preferred.

Historians have long debated whether Churchill was aware of but refused to warn the residents of Coventry to get out of the way of the Luftwaffe bombing that caused 507 civilian deaths, because such a warning would have disclosed to the Germans that the British had cracked Germany's Enigma code. This disclosure would have caused the deaths of many British soldiers who were relying on intelligence secured from Enigma, which would have dried up if the Germans knew it was compromised.

Of course, every civilian death in Coventry was entirely the fault of the Nazis, legally, morally and politically, just as every death to an Israeli hostage used as a human shield would be the fault of Hamas, regardless of who actually fired the fatal shot. But this doesn't solve the problem for Israeli policymakers, generals or soldiers of how much risk to their own civilian hostages should they be willing to take to achieve their legitimate military goals.

Israel should try to negotiate the freedom of hostages as if there were no ground war, and should pursue the ground war as if there were no hostages.

The bottom line is that Israel should be free to strike whatever balance it seems appropriate. It will , of course, do everything it can to preserve the lives of the hostages, while Hamas will do everything it can to use the hostages as weapons against the Israeli military. It will not be easy but it must be done.
Daniel Greenfield: The Hamas ‘inside job’ truthers don’t understand Israel or war
1. Israel is a mighty fortress and its security is second to none, so how could this have happened?

Most forms of this “trutherism” claim that Israel’s security is so great and its intelligence apparatus so solid that there’s no way that the Hamas attack could have happened without some sort of complicity.

Sorry, no.

Libertarians, of all people, should know that governments are incompetent. Israel’s security is pretty good compared to the United States because it actually tries to secure things. But it’s a long way from being secure. The best evidence of that is how many times it has failed.

Israel’s intelligence has been hyped a lot, but it’s mostly offensive intelligence. That means it’s pretty good at doing what it does now— learning the locations of enemy targets and taking them out. Its defensive intelligence has been a mixed bag, at best. Israel’s track record at preventing terrorist attacks using intelligence is only a little better than ours.

Ask where a particular terrorist is and they stand a good chance of being able to answer, ask where the next terrorist attack is coming from and the answer is no more useful than our color-coded homeland security alerts. There’s usually “chatter” and some “sources” say something, but “other sources” say something else. Analysts pore over it and then someone higher up settles the debate.

Without having boots on the ground, Israel was relying on passive intelligence collection and on sensors and cameras, rather than on human intelligence sources and people who were actually paying close attention to what was going on.

As I recently wrote, Israel was nearly destroyed 50 years ago during the Yom Kippur War because key intelligence figures refused to believe that an Egyptian attack was coming even though they had plenty of warning. That was a worse and more unjustified intelligence failure than this one.

Intelligence is not the same thing as intelligence. Information doesn’t come perfectly packaged and wrapped in a bow. Human beings have to look at it and draw conclusions. Sometimes they draw the right ones, often they draw the wrong ones. And for every piece of information they see, there’s a thousand pieces of information that they don’t see.

Does it make sense that Israel missed the Hamas preparations? As much as sense as the United States missing the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor or Israel losing the defense strategy that would have allowed it to hold the Suez Canal.

Israel knew that something was coming. It sent a small security team expecting to intercept maybe five or seven attackers. Instead, it was overwhelmed by a massive assault that no one saw coming because it was unprecedented.

And that’s the real issue.

Yes, Israel had been distracted by months of leftist riots. And it was the last day of the High Holy Days, which is usually a major celebration. But most of all, no one had anticipated something on this scale taking place.

That takes us to the second point.


CNN's Tapper Despicably Compares Israel's Defense to Russian War Crimes
It’s obvious that Jake Tapper doesn’t understand how war works. Nor does he understand the difference between a nation defending itself and a nation committing war crimes. This all became evident Sunday during CNN’s State of the Union when Tapper interviewed Biden national security advisor Jake Sullivan and complained that Israel was forced to shut off the water and power supply in Gaza after being attacked by Hamas over a week ago.

“You say you stand for the rule of law, again, Hamas is vile. What they did eight days ago, they're targeting civilians, it's horrific,” Tapper said to Sullivan.

Tapper then sought to compare Israel to Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine: “But what's going on right now is not just a punishment of Hamas. More than 700 children have been reportedly killed in Gaza and obviously, electricity, food, water, supplies have been cut off by Israel to the totality of Gaza. Obviously, the blockade is not just by Israel, it's by Egypt, too.”

After playing a clip of Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemning Russia, Tapper claimed he wasn’t comparing the two countries but then proceeded to compare the two: “Now look, Israel is not Russia, Gaza is not Ukraine. It's a different situation, but cutting off supplies, cutting off heat, cutting off water to civilians, what's the difference?”

“Well, first, thank you for saying that Israel is not Russia, because Israel is not Russia,” Sullivan responded.

Tapper then proceeded to cry: “But civilians are civilians, Jake. Civilians are civilians.”

“Yes, absolutely, they are. And they deserve, as I said before, access to water and medicine and food. And we are working actively to ensure that that happens,” Sullivan responded. (h/t Max Mendelbaum)
Former Miss Israel slams Black Lives Matter for not supporting Jews after Hamas attacks
A former Israeli beauty queen has slammed activist groups such as Black Lives Matter for not supporting the terrorized Jewish people, claiming they need to “learn their facts.”

Yityish “Titi” Aynaw, the first Ethiopian to win the Miss Israel title in 2013, criticized the double standards on full display by activists and self-styled human rights groups when it comes to Israel.

“I am so shocked by the response of Black Lives Matter regarding the terror attacks here in Israel,” the 32-year-old said in a post on Instagram.

“I remember you screaming in the streets, ‘I can’t breathe.’ I want to inform you right now … [it’s Israelis] who cannot breathe.”

She invoked some 200 Israeli hostages held in Gaza — including babies, children, women, entire families and the elderly.

“They were kidnapped, raped by the terror organization Hamas … slaughtering their souls. Hamas is ISIS. Pray for us. Pray for Israel because we can’t breathe,” she added.
Gil Tory: Silence of the tenured lambs
Harvard University president Claudine Gay, along with 17 Harvard administrators, first called themselves “heartbroken by the death and destruction.” Perpetrated by whom? Even The New York Times found the statement “tepid.” Infuriated alumni triggered a second try, condemning “the terrorist atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.”

Gay added: “Such inhumanity is abhorrent, whatever one’s individual views of the origins of longstanding conflicts in the region.” Why add the last wiggly clause?

By contrast, Gay’s predecessor, Lawrence Bacow, called Russia’s Ukraine invasion “deplorable,” thundering: “Harvard University stands with the people of Ukraine.”

Even worse, McGill University’s first response illustrated how the therapeutic culture has conquered academia, dulling minds, blurring consciences and glooping up writing. “Yesterday’s news of violent conflict in Israel and Gaza has caused many of us to feel shaken,” it began, a flabby sentence I wouldn’t accept from my students, obscuring Hamas’s guilt and evil.

Affectless, offering nothing to learn, the statement yammered: “We care deeply about your wellness and recognize that the tumultuous times in which we live can at times feel overwhelming. Below, you will find resources available to you for support.” Clearly, this massacre traumatized many. But when did universities become therapy referral centers?

As administrators dithered, most professors dodged. Two years ago, 120 gender studies departments denounced Israel’s actions in defending itself against Hamas. Last Saturday, Hamas pillagers targeted women brutally, raping women to death, parading at least one woman naked in public, mutilating women’s bodies—let alone beheading babies, sometimes in front of their mothers. Isn’t sadistically targeting women a feminist issue, even if they’re Jewish? Shouldn’t feminists mobilize against Hamas for enslaving women sexually? Nothing was heard from professors of peace studies, ethics or humanities, either.

The decades-long demonization of the Jewish state caused this Silence of the Tenured Lambs. Many intellectuals proved that they could never sympathize with Israelis, no matter what abominations Israelis, in addition to and citizens from 40 other countries, endure.

Obama Podcast Producer Denies Hamas Atrocities in Israel, Then Deletes the Evidence.
A producer who has worked alongside Barack and Michelle Obama denied last week in social media postings that Hamas carried out brutal atrocities against Israeli women and children, saying these claims are "completely unverified" and "feed into Islamaphobic tropes."

Misha Euceph, a producer on the Obama family's various podcast series, made these claims in a series of now-deleted Instagram posts that call into question a mounting body of evidence showing Hamas raped, murdered, and dismembered scores of Israeli civilians.

Speaking about Hamas’s rampage through an Israeli neighborhood last week, Euceph said, "The more I’ve been thinking about it the more I’m realizing—and I think a lot of other people are too—that these reports and statements about the rape and murder of babies are completely unverified, and they actually feed into Islamaphobic tropes that we’re not talking about at all."

Euceph also questioned the innocence of Israeli citizens, citing the country’s compulsory military service, and denied that Hamas uses human shields and operates from civilian outposts, like hospitals and schools.

Euceph was represented by the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) until at least last week, when her online biography was erased from the website amid questions from the Washington Free Beacon about her comments. CAA, which represents Hollywood and sports powerhouses like Amal Clooney and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, did not respond to inquiries about the matter. The videos are also no longer accessible on Euceph’s Instagram page, instead replaced with a generic statement about a week of "sadness, anger, and outrage." A request to Euceph sent via CAA was also not returned.

In the since-deleted posts, Euceph cast doubt on widespread images proving Hamas targeted children, babies, and elderly Jews, even as reports emerged that the Iranian-backed terror group planned to target kids.

"We’re talking a lot about anti-Semitism but we’re not talking about very common anti-Arab sentiment that sees Arabs as desert people who behead children and rape children," she said.

Euceph went on to claim that Israel is waging an "ethnic genocide" on the Palestinian people as it seeks to root out Hamas terrorists responsible for last week's unprecedented attack.


Bari Weiss: The New Axis of Evil: Condoleezza Rice on War in Israel and a Changed World
In the early hours of Saturday morning on October 7, Israel was invaded by Hamas terrorists by land, air, and sea, which The Free Press has been covering all week in detail. With over 1,300 Israeli civilians dead, hundreds taken hostage into Gaza, and many more in critical condition, this catastrophic and barbaric attack has been labeled “Israel’s 9/11.”

This is something former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice knows about.

After all, Secretary Rice led our nation as national security adviser on September 11. As one of the most powerful people in the world at a turning point in American history, Secretary Rice knows firsthand about leadership amid unthinkable crises. She also knows firsthand about the intractable conflicts Israel has faced for decades, having served in both her national leadership roles through five Gaza wars and crises.

Today, Secretary Rice discusses why this war is different than anything she has seen before in the region, whether the prospect for a two-state solution is over, what Iran’s role was in aiding Hamas, what Israel seeking normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia had to do with it, why America cannot afford to retreat from the world, and why Israel—and the world—will never be the same.
'Antiracist' Intellectual Blames Israel for Hamas Atrocities
What happened: Ta-Nehisi Coates, the multimillionaire "antiracist" author described by the New York Times as one of America's "most influential intellectuals and writers," spearheaded an open letter blaming Israel for "the catastrophe unfolding in Gaza."

• Coates signed the letter—addressed to "the international community"—along with several dozen other "writers and artists who have been to Palestine to participate in the Palestine Festival of Literature."

What they're saying: The so-called writers and artists accused the United States and other Western governments of enabling Israel's campaign of "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza and whitewashed the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists on October 7, in an egregiously worded passage containing one of the most horrific examples of the passive voice.

• "On Saturday, after sixteen years of siege, Hamas militants broke out of Gaza," they wrote. "More than 1,300 Israelis were subsequently killed with over one hundred more taken hostage."

• Correction: On Saturday, Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1,300 Israelis and took more than 100 hostages.

• Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, recently scolded MSNBC journalists for describing Hamas terrorists as "militants" or "fighters."

• The writers went on to say they "deplore the loss of all innocent life," but it was not exactly clear whether they consider the murdered Israelis to be innocent.
U PENN “PALESTINE WRITES” ORGANIZER SUSAN ABULHAWA CHEERS GAZA MASSACRE
With controversy still simmering about the September “Palestine Writes” conference at the University of Pennsylvania headlined by antisemites Roger Waters, Noura Erakat and Marc Lamont Hill, its organizer, Susan Abulhawa, has enthusiastically praised the murderous Hamas onslaught in Israel.

Writing in The Electronic Intifada on October 12, she exulted: “Palestinian fighters finally broke free on 7 October 2023 in a spectacular moment that shocked the world.” Abulhawa went on: “In a stunning display of low-tech guerilla warfare, a few dozen sparsely armed commandos disabled Israeli watchtowers and paraglided over the electrified fences…These brave Palestinian fighters overtook Israeli colonies built on their ancestral villages, seeing their stolen lands for the first time in their lives…”

Incredibly, in this twisted account, there is no hint of the Hamas barbarism and slaughter of more than 1400, or the rape and kidnapping that have stunned the world and drawn near universal condemnation. The alleged small band of a few dozen “brave Palestinian fighters” was, of course, at least 2,000 heavily armed terrorists in an aerial and ground attack that targeted and murdered whole families, including small children, in their homes, among other unspeakable atrocities.

The obsessively repeated preeminent lie is, of course, that Jews have no rightful claim or historical connection to their country.

As in everything Abulhawa says and writes about Israel and the Palestinians, whether regarding events in the present that are factually undeniable – such as a mass slaughter of innocents – or events of the past – such as the millennia-long connection of the Jews to the land of Israel – that are also inescapably true, a burning hatred of Israel appears to be at the root of falsehood and fabrication. The obsessively repeated preeminent lie is, of course, that Jews have no rightful claim or historical connection to their country.

Abulhawa, an author and poet, is open about seeking eradication of the Jewish state. She, for instance, tweeted in January 2023 “Someday we will demolish this racist colonial zionist military ‘state.’ And the world will be a better place for it.” She also tweeted: “…Israel is a heap of lies built on genocide of Palestinians.” Abulhawa’s record of animus also includes routine comparisons of Israelis to Nazis. In a typical comment, on February 25,2023, she tweeted: “Calling Israel a Nazi state doesn’t quite capture the depths of their malevolence.”

Former EU envoy who introduced Gazans to paragliders accuses Israel of unjustified attack
Former European Union Ambassador to the Palestinians Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff criticized Israel for what he said was an "unjustified" attack on Gaza in response to the atrocities committed by Hamas.

In a radio interview, Burgsdorff said it "does not matter what Hamas did" and claimed that nothing justified the "use of such deadly force without distinction and proportionality as far as the Palestinian population in Gaza is concerned."

Burgsdorff failed to condemn Hamas for killing 1,300 Israeli residents and instead accused Israel of committing war crimes.

"It cannot be that Israel is threatening to bomb corridors and shipments carrying humanitarian equipment. It cannot be. It is another war crime if it happens," he said. "It cannot be that Israel has carte blanche because terrible acts, cruel and shocking acts happened to 1,000 or even 1,200 Israelis. This is not the excuse you can use to flatten Gaza."

Burgsdorff held the position of head of the European Union's mission to the West Bank and Gaza Strip until August and was the one who introduced Gazans to paragliders, which Hamas terrorists used to infiltrate Israeli territory during the Oct. 7 attack.
Ireland's Troubling Response to the Israel Attacks
Within Israeli diplomatic circles, Ireland is seen as something of a lost cause. As the true horrors of what happened in Israel began to emerge, before the bodies were even cold, there was an air of grotesque exultation on many Irish social media sites, with the hashtag #karma attached to countless posts. It was a disgusting spectacle. At this point it was no longer possible to justify the response of so many Irish people as naivety. This was positively wicked. Israel is facing the worst pogrom since the Holocaust and many of my fellow citizens are openly celebrating the atrocities.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar warned the Israelis that they would quickly lose international solidarity if they went "too far." Does he honestly think the Israelis care about squandering international support at this point? As we have seen in the past week, Israel enjoys precious little international support as it is.

Is there any other county in the world which would be expected to tolerate such depravity and slaughter of its own citizens and then accept being lectured that they must refrain from retaliation and instead sign a cease fire?

There has always been a rump of Irish people who simply hate the Jews. After all, we had our very own pogrom in the city of Limerick back in 1904. Modern day prejudice is couched as purely a form of solidarity with the Palestinian cause. Many Irish progressives seem to look on the Palestinians as if they are cuddly hobbits, mercilessly persecuted by the Jewish orcs, as opposed to people with their own agency. Many decent Irish people left floral tributes outside the Israeli embassy. They were quickly damaged by Irish protestors.
“One Man’s Terrorist . . .”: Editorial Compliance with Jihadi Demands Part I
Given the widespread revulsion with the media’s reluctance to call what Gazans did on 7/10 “terrorism,” I post here my treatment of the issue from my book, Can “The Whole World” Be Wrong? Lethal Journalism, Antisemitism, and Global Jihad. It comes near the end of my chapter on 9-11, and deals with the refusal of Reuters and BBC (both British media outlets) to use the term terror. It’s conclusion: this is not about “impartiality” and “not taking sides.” It is a craven submission to the threats by terrorists who do not want to be so called and, accordingly, in the name of high-minded principles, the journalists end up taking the side of the terrorists.

It is in two parts, the first part here analyzes the widely invoked meme: one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, and the second here: a study of some specific discussions.

“One Man’s Terrorist . . .”: Editorial Compliance with Jihadi Demands

Among its many effects, 9-11 revealed an issue in journalism that had remained hidden from most news consumers beforehand, but which became a major topic of discussion and journalistic opinion in the subsequent years. For some years already, Western news agencies had adopted an increasingly formal rejection of using the word “terrorism/terrorist.” It was, they argued, “too emotive” a term and notoriously difficult to define.[1] Its use in describing a person or an act unfairly prejudiced the news consumer against those so designated. After all, as the saying goes, “One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.” [In the book I put in bold statements I consider “astoundingly stupid”.]

With this practice, news agencies aligned themselves with a position staked out in academia by the new and advocacy-driven “field” of Peace and Conflict Studies on the one hand, and by the Saïd-dominated “Middle East Studies Association,” on the other.[2] Martin Kramer, serious critic of the postcolonial academy, noted the absence of “terrorism” from the MESA statement on 9-11, and its hefty program of talks at their annual conference that year:
For years the academics’ response to terrorism has been to act as amplifiers for the “grievances” behind it. For the professors, terrorism was a kind of political protest—and since they sympathized with its supposed motives, they expelled the word “terrorism” from their lexicon. This weekend’s [MESA] conference demonstrates the neglect: With the exception of a hastily announced special panel, nothing in the program deals with terrorism.[3]

In other words, mainstream news media had become practitioners of “peace journalism,” lining up with a postcolonial paradigm weaponized against the victims of the jihadi attack. Given how peace journalism had disoriented the Israelis at the approach of the Al Aqsa Intifada,[4] it was a highly dubious direction in which to move.
“One Man’s Terrorist . . .”: Editorial Compliance with Jihadi Demands Part II
This is Part II of a discussion of the introduction of the principle not to use the term terrorism and its variants in describing terrorist attacks right after 9-11. The first part is here.

Palestinians Celebrate 9-11 and Intimidate Media into Not Reporting
The intimidation of Western news media by terrorists concerned with their “image” came to the fore in the Palestinian territories in the wake of 9-11. Western film crews based in Israel filmed Palestinians celebrating the event, and openly praising Bin Laden for his blow against the US. This reaction would come as no surprise to anyone who followed the Palestinian media, where the US is only second to the Israelis as a target of hatred, and the celebration of massacred enemy civilians was an act of high culture.[1] But, in the immediate aftermath of 9-11, with widespread expressions of sympathy for the US coming even from Muslim countries that were openly hostile to the US like Iran, with the POTUS, directed by Muslim advisors assuring the American people that Muslims around the world were appalled by the attacks of 9-11, these celebrations made the Palestinians look bad. Arafat, sensitive to image as always, shut down the demonstrations and staged a photo-op of him supposedly donating blood to the pulverized victims.[2]

As for the footage, Palestinian authorities, including the Tanzim, the military arm of the PA, did everything they could to prevent its circulation. They stopped camera crews at the site from filming; they called the camera crews who had filmed the celebrations into the PA offices and informed them that they would be held personally responsible if this footage were shown. Ahmed Abdel Rahman, Arafat’s Cabinet secretary, said the Palestinian Authority “cannot guarantee the life” of any member of the camera crew, if they broadcast the footage. AP, pressured both by the PA and their own cameramen, decided not to show the footage.

Publicly, AP Chief of Bureau Dan Perry protested somewhat entreatingly: “I ask the assurances of the Palestinian Authority that you will protect our journalists from threats and attempts at intimidation and that no harm would come to our freelance cameraman from distribution of the film.:[3] Privately, he admitted to an inquiring journalist that the AP had to fold: “We are acting to assure the safety of our staff. The safety of our staff is paramount. At this point, we believe there to be a serious threat to our staff if the video is released and we have protested this to the PA.”[4]

The incident confirmed what the events of the previous October in Ramallah had already illuminated: al Shabab and PA officials play tough-cop/nice-cop, to control the news media and make sure that that news that might harm the Palestinian “image” in the West does not get out. Here, on the topic of 9-11, the AP’s cautious response of pulling the footage replicates Cristiano’s protests and Orme’s astoundingly deficient report on Palestinian incitement the previous year.[5] Compliance with Palestinian demands, with a whimper of protest.
Australian interfaith relations break down as Muslims, Christians fail to condemn murder of Jews
At least two rabbis are resigning from the Jewish Muslim Christian Association and the JCCV is considering putting interfaith contacts on hold.

The failure of other faith communities to condemn Hamas’s murder of 1300 Israelis has devastated members of the Jewish community who have worked closely with their Muslim and Christian counterparts for years.

No Muslim organisation or cleric has spoken out against the massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7. Christian organisations have also been largely silent.

“We are learning very quickly who our friends are at this difficult time,” said JCCV president Daniel Aghion. “We have had messages of support from the Hindu community, the Buddhists, the Assyrians, and the Iranian Australians. The Ethnic Community Council of Victoria has also been supportive. Unfortunately, with a few other exceptions, that is the total amount of faith and ethnic support we have received.

“As a result, the JCCV is considering its position in respect to a number of bodies and whether to continue our involvement with them.”

The Jewish Christian Muslim Association and Faith Community Council of Victoria have both failed to condemn the massacres.

The president of the Jewish Christian Muslim Association, Rabbi Gabi Kaltmann, has resigned, and past president Rabbi Ralph Genende intends to do so this week, saying the only reason he has not done so sooner is that he was too angry to write a considered resignation letter.

“I’m so disillusioned with all the years that I have put into interfaith work since 2011,” he said. “If they can’t see the difference between Hamas and Islamic ideology, then who are we dealing with?” he said.

“I wish they could find the moral clarity to differentiate between the genuine desire of Palestinians for recognition and the deep seated and twisted desire to rid Israel of all Jews from the river to the sea.”
BBC programme questions whether Hamas massacre took place
A BBC programme has raised questions about whether the Hamas massacre at Kfar Aza kibbutz had really taken place.

On Oct 7, around 70 terrorists burst into the kibbutz, a farming community of 750, and murdered scores of residents, including families and babies.

Trending, a programme on BBC Arabic, suggested there were different versions of the story and that even Jeremy Bowen, the corporation’s Middle East editor who went to the scene, was simply repeating what he had been told by Israeli forces.

The original BBC headline said: “Hamas rejects accusations that its gunmen carried out atrocities in the Israeli Kfar Aza village.”

The headline was later changed before the entire report was removed from the BBC website, and later from YouTube.

A BBC spokesman said: “This report was quickly removed from BBC output as it failed to meet our editorial standards.

“It should not have remained on YouTube, it has been taken down and we are looking into how it remained accessible.”

It comes after the corporation admitted last week that it was “urgently investigating” claims that its journalists had appeared to justify the killing of Israeli civilians by Hamas, a designated terrorist group.

Reporters at BBC News Arabic in the Middle East appeared to celebrate an attack that left approximately 1,300 dead, endorsing comments likening Hamas to freedom fighters, as well as describing the atrocity as a “morning of hope”.
Anti-Israel Democrats Face Campaign Finance Woes and Primary Challenges
The Squad, which boasts some of the most anti-Israel members of Congress, is facing a cash crunch heading into the 2024 election cycle, according to a Washington Free Beacon review.

Reps. Cori Bush (D., Mo.) and Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) are both spending money faster than they can raise it, according to the representatives’ most recent financial disclosure forms. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) has seen a precipitous drop in her fundraising each year since 2019 and only brought in $151,000 for the quarter ending Sept. 30. And Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) raised less than half of what she brought in during the same timeframe in 2019.

The Squad’s lackluster fundraising could pose a problem as its members fight to keep their seats in what could be a contentious election cycle. The progressive representatives have maintained their staunch criticism of Israel and support for terrorist-linked groups in the wake of Hamas’s attacks on the Jewish state, which have left more than 1,400 Israelis and at least 30 Americans dead. The Squad’s anti-Israel rhetoric has drawn criticism from the Biden White House and moderate Democrats, some of whom may bring primary challenges to the Squad members in 2024.

Omar, along with Reps. Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.) and Summer Lee (D., Pa.), could face primary challenges because of their anti-Israel positions, Jewish Insider reported Monday. Omar’s former primary challenger Don Samuels is planning to take on the far-left representative again next cycle and will center his campaign on Omar’s history of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric, according to Jewish Insider. Omar defeated Samuels by just 2 points in the last cycle.
Israel war: AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and others sign onto bill calling for ceasefire with Hamas
Several hard-line progressive Democrats introduced legislation Monday in the House of Representatives that would call on Israel and terrorist group Hamas to agree to a ceasefire in their war following the terrorist organization's fatal attacks on the Jewish state, killing hundreds of civilians and taking hostages back to Gaza.

In the bill, called the "Ceasefire Now Resolution," Reps. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Andre Carson (D-IN), Summer Lee (D-PA), Delia C. Ramirez (D-IL), Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D-IL), Jonathan Jackson (D-IL), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Nydia Velazquez (D-NY) asked that Congress call "for an immediate deescalation and cease-fire in Israel and occupied Palestine."

Tlaib, who is of Palestinian descent and has a Palestinian flag outside her congressional office, drawing criticism during Israel's war, said, “We need legislation that saves as many lives as possible, no matter one’s faith or ethnicity."

"I am proud to join my colleagues and a coalition of human rights advocates in calling for de-escalation, ceasefire, and a strong humanitarian response that prevents more devastating civilian casualties across the region,” the representative said.

According to Bush, a prominent supporter of Black Lives Matter, “I am grieving for every Palestinian, Israeli, and American life lost to this violence, and my heart breaks for all those who will be forever traumatized because of it."

She explained that her legislation calls for deescalation and a ceasefire, as well as humanitarian assistance for "the 2.2 million people under siege and trapped in Gaza.“

"The United States bears a unique responsibility to exhaust every diplomatic tool at our disposal to prevent mass atrocities and save lives. We can’t bomb our way to peace, equality, and freedom. With thousands of lives lost and millions more at stake, we need a ceasefire now," she said.


A better kind of college blacklist

'Hate has a price' NYC doctor fired over pro-Hamas post cheering Israelis getting a 'taste of their own medicine'
A New York City emergency room doctor has been fired for controversial posts online that applauded Hamas’ massacre at a music festival in southern Israel, saying the attacks gave Israelis “a taste of their own medicine.”

Dr. Dana Diab — an emergency room physician with Lenox Hill Hospital and Brookdale University Hospital & Medical Center, according to NYC Health + Hospitals — shared a video of the heinous Oct. 7 attack on her Instagram Stories.

“Zionist settlers getting a taste of their own medicine,” she wrote, according to a screenshot shared by Stop Antisemitism on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.

A second snap showed Diab’s Instagram profile, which has since gone private — where the physician boasted over 600 followers and had a Palestinian flag emoji in the bio section.

“Dina [sic] Diab took to Instagram rejoicing Zionist settlers [aka jews] were murdered, raped, beheaded, and kidnapped by the Hamas terror group on Saturday October 7th,” Stop Antisemitism wrote alongside the images.

“Jewish patients beware.”

Education minister Jason Clare told Senator Henderson the government is establishing a Working Group to advise Education Ministers on what steps should be taken to improve student and staff safety on campus.

Ms Henderson told Sky News host Sharri Markon that “urgent action is required” to support Jewish educational institutions, Jewish schools and Jewish childcare centres.

“Which need to upgrade their security measures,” she said.

“I cannot stress how important this is, that these institutions are immediately and urgently supported.”




Must Watch: Israel Advocate Corrects False Claims on Russian State TV
Russia Today is widely regarded as a Putin-focused propaganda network, with a penchant for being anti-Israel.

Yet this is exactly why Israel’s voice is needed in such a setting. The network, for better or for worse, is widely viewed in the EU, throughout Africa, and has a very strong social media presence.

In this interview, I began by clearly stating the reality of the situation, rebutting some of the lies and conspiracy theories the network had stated on the show, and finally stated my frank opinion about the network’s level of professionalism and morality in this situation.

You can watch highlights of the video below:

Even as I took a strong tone and displayed an appropriate degree of personal emotion, I carefully based every statement on knowledge, research, and strong objective, factual support.

In our experience at RealtiyCheck, this approach consistently inspires at least some viewers to question the credibility of the stories they have heard, and to change their minds about Israel.

‘Call it by its name’: BBC under fire for refusal to call Hamas ‘terrorists’
Israel’s Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely has slammed the BBC for refusing to call Hamas a terrorist organisation.

Hamas has been designated a proscribed terrorist organisation by the UK government since 2021.

A BBC spokesperson said it was a long-standing position for its reporters not to use the term themselves unless attributing it to someone else.

“If the BBC stands for accuracy and if the BBC stands for the truth, it’s very simple,” Ms Hotovely told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.

“This is what terrorism is and you cannot find any better example of terrorism so I really think everyone should call it by its name.”

ABC journalist condemned for labelling reports of babies being beheaded by Hamas as ‘bulls*it’
The Australian’s Media Writer Sophie Elsworth says ABC’s Middle Eastern correspondent Tom Joyner “did himself no credit at all” by labelling reports of babies being beheaded by Hamas terrorists in Israel as 'bulls*it'.

Ms Ellsworth’s comments come after the ABC journalist sent the "disgraceful message" to a WhatsApp group with around 6,000 broadcasters from around the world.

“This is the ABC’s representative in the Middle East, saying pretty shocking things when horrendous acts are taking place in Israel,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“The ABC has spoken to him; he said he had remorse for this and so he damn well should.

“This is really disgraceful stuff.”


ABC's Media Watch 'reinforces the Twitter narrative'
Sky News host Paul Murray says ABC's Media Watch is just the “week in Twitter”, following the program’s commentary on the Israel-Hamas war.

“I’m fine for media analysis programs but this isn’t, it’s just the week in Twitter,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Sharri Markson.

“And reinforcing the Twitter narrative, reinforcing that ecosystem to constantly go amongst itself."

He said when it doesn’t like something it "goes off and complains to the umpire".

“And because the umpire watches that show and listens to Radio National – there’s this sort of self-fulfilling machine.”
