Phyllis Chesler: Netanyahu’s historic speech
I watched Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. He delivered a masterful, inspiring, historic and fact-based speech. He put every lie to rest. His delivery in perfect unaccented English was met with rousing applause again and again. Gallantly and strategically, he thanked both Presidents Biden and Trump for their support.

He introduced incredibly heroic Israeli soldiers, a hostage, families of hostages, the father of a fallen soldier. Their stories are amazing and humbling.

Netanyahu reiterated that what Israel needs are the weapons to do the job, to get the job done, to win the war—and without any American boots on the ground. He emphasized that Israel is fighting for America. If America can supply the weapons faster, he will end the war faster.

He also shared his vision for a Gazan future, which consists of “demilitarization and deradicalization,” just as the Allies in World War II insisted upon in terms of a defeated Nazi Germany.

Netanyahu spoke the truth that this is not a “war between civilizations but a war between civilization and barbarism.”

He pointed out that “like 9/11, 10/7 will forever live on in infamy.” He confirmed that Oct. 7 was the equivalent in American demographic terms to “twenty 9/11s.”

Netanyahu rightly called the anti-Israel demonstrators outside Congress “Iran’s useful idiots.” They are also incredibly vulgar, their mouths filled with obscene curses and death threats. They tore down and burned American flags. Yes, right here in Washington, D.C.

Netanyahu confirms that Israel has sent food into Gaza that Hamas has stolen. Israel has done its very best to avoid civilian casualties. Israel has protected and rescued civilians in Gaza.

Netanyahu dared to name America as the major impediment to stopping Iran. He is right. Only Israel is standing in Iran’s way. Israel is, in effect, protecting America. Iran has been attacking American soldiers for many years now. Only Israel has gone up against it.

This speech and its overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception were historic. It was a speech for the ages.

Finally, Netanyahu confirmed that Israel was going to win. There is no other option.
Jake Wallis Simons: Netanyahu has exposed the West’s gross moral hypocrisy
About 70 Democrats snubbed Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to Congress on Wednesday, up from the 58 who boycotted his address to Congress in 2015. You'd have thought that the attack by Hamas would have resulted in a rise in support for the Middle East's sole democracy as it fights for its life against an enemy that is coming for us next. Yet in the minds of those taking the Hamas side of the argument, their hatred of "Zionism" is simply a philosophical opposition to the principle of Jewish self-determination.

While beleaguered and controversial, Netanyahu's speech was a resounding triumph. When it comes to making the case for Israel, he is by far the best orator the Jewish state has ever produced. Here, at long last, was a demonstration to the West of what moral clarity looks like, delivered at the very heart of the free world. "This is not a clash of civilizations. It's a clash between barbarism and civilization," he said. To prevail, "America and Israel must stand together. We will win." This received perhaps the most rapturous applause.

But the greatest significance of Bibi's tour de force was geopolitical. Israeli sources have suggested that Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar over-interpreted the campus protests in America, wrongly divining that public opinion was swinging behind Hamas when 80% of the population continued to support Israel.

There can be no mistake after Bibi's speech. The scenes of ranks of congressmen united in a standing ovation were more powerful than any images of idiots in keffiyehs being pepper-sprayed outside. The U.S. and Israel stand shoulder-to-shoulder. Nor was this lost on the sophisticated leadership of Iran.

Netanyahu's speech provided a clear vision of the threats facing the West. "Iran is virtually behind all the terrorism, all the turmoil, all the chaos, all the killing," Netanyahu said, and the U.S. was the only power standing in the way of Tehran's plans for global subjugation.
Melanie Phillips: Netanyahu’s hour
For the better part of an hour on Wednesday, it was possible to believe that the Western world had not lost its mind.

For some 54 minutes, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the U.S. Congress truth after truth about the war against Israel and demolished the malicious and grotesque accusations against it of war crimes and genocide.

In a magnificent, impassioned and pitch-perfect address, he roused Congress to its feet with at least 54 standing ovations.

They cheered and applauded when he declared that Israel’s battle against Iran was America’s battle.

They cheered and applauded when referring to U.S. intelligence that Iran was behind the pro-Hamas protests, he said those demonstrators “stand with evil” and are “Iran’s useful idiots.”

They cheered and applauded when, in a veiled reference to the Biden administration’s decision to slow down the supply of arms to Israel that Congress had mandated, Netanyahu said: “Give us the tools faster and we’ll finish the job faster.”

For the duration of that hour, it was possible for Jews reeling from the murderous antisemitism that has erupted around the world since the Oct. 7 pogrom, the refusal of Western governments to tackle it and the near-universal adoption of Hamas propaganda by liberal elites, to believe that the Jews are not standing alone after all.

But this ecstatic audience was composed of Republicans who get it and Democrats who were prepared at least to give Netanyahu the courtesy of a hearing. The same could not be said of the 70 Democrats who boycotted Netanyahu’s address, including the new Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

This was the most ominous signal possible that, if she becomes president, Harris will be a danger to both Israel and the West. Her absence wasn’t just a deliberate insult to Netanyahu. It showed contempt for America’s principal Middle East ally as it fights for its life against forces that menace America and the free world.

Far from marking her out as a statesman, Harris’s boycott was the act of a petulant partisan. And the claim made by such Democrats that they only loathe Netanyahu, not Israel, doesn’t hold water for a moment.
Brendan O'Neill: A fascist rally in Washington, DC
What would you call a gathering of angry people marching behind a giant, grotesque effigy of a horned Jew with blood dripping from his mouth? A gathering at which one attendee held up a placard calling for a ‘Final Solution’ for ‘the Zionists’? A gathering at which people giddily waved the flag of a movement that is devoted to the murder of Jews? A gathering at which there were banners and speedily daubed graffiti on public monuments singing the praises of this Jew-killing outfit? I would call it a fascist rally. And yet, bizarrely, when just such a rally took place in Washington, DC yesterday, the liberal media called it an ‘anti-war protest’. Were they watching something else?

Let’s speak frankly: yesterday’s protests in Washington, DC against the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, were deeply disturbing. They were riddled not only with the febrile Israelophobic bigotry we’ve come to expect from the supposedly progressive left, but also with open anti-Semitism. With classic anti-Semitism. With expressions of virulent contempt for the Jew as blood-drinker, the Jew as child-killer, the Jew as such a key source of the world’s ills that a ‘solution’, ideally a ‘final’ one, must be found to his continual ailing of the human race. This was a hate-fest masquerading as concern for Palestinians.

Consider what many in the press are referring to as ‘the Netanyahu puppet’. What cowardly euphemising. This was no mere mocking likeness of the Israeli PM – it was a repulsive caricature of The Jew. Displayed outside Congress, where Netanyahu was speaking, it contained almost every anti-Jew trope. Blood-spattered horns sprouted from the Jew’s head. His hands and mouth were generously smeared with fake blood, as if this creature had freshly feasted on human flesh. His white shirt was red with blood, too – the spillage from his vampiric gorging.

It was right out of Medieval Europe, where eruptions of anti-Semitism were fuelled by ‘folk beliefs’ about Jews having ‘horns and big noses’. And being blood-drinkers, of course. The blood libel that was the trigger for so many medieval pogroms held that Jews killed Christian kids to use their blood in the baking of Matzah bread. To see such Dark Ages-style hatred and hysteria on the streets of DC in 2024 – to see a mob in modern America gather to mock an effigy of a blood-drinking Jew with horns – is horrendous. There were other effigies of Netanyahu, too. One was set on fire outside Union Station to the cheers and cackles of the crowd. It was like a medieval purging. It brought to mind the centuries-old practice of ‘Judas burning’ at Easter, also known as the ‘Burning of the Jew’, when effigies of that ‘Christ killer’ would be set alight.


Bodies of 5 hostages were found in tunnel in Gaza’s Israeli-designated humanitarian zone
The bodies of five Israeli hostages brought back to Israel in a special operation on Wednesday were recovered from a tunnel located in the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in the southern Gaza Strip, the military said Thursday.

The Israel Defense Forces adjusted the zone ahead of the operation in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis and ordered Palestinian civilians in part of it, where the tunnel was located, to temporarily evacuate.

In the operation on Wednesday, the bodies of Ravid Katz, 51, Oren Goldin, 33, Maya Goren, 56, Sgt. Kiril Brodski, 19, and Staff Sgt. Tomer Yaakov Ahimas, 20, were recovered by IDF special forces and members of the Shin Bet security agency.

All five were previously declared dead by the IDF, though their bodies continued to be held in Gaza until Wednesday. They were all killed on October 7 and their bodies were dragged into Gaza by Hamas-led terrorists.

The IDF said that in recent weeks it obtained intelligence, including from Shin Bet interrogations of detained terrorists in Gaza, on the location of the tunnel where Hamas was holding the bodies of the hostages.

The tunnel was 200 meters long and about 20 meters deep and featured several rooms, according to the military. It took combat engineers several hours to dig down to reach the tunnel.

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in a press conference said the “complex” operation to recover the bodies took place in “the heart of Khan Younis,” where the military had operated and withdrawn from earlier this year.

“The troops raided the area and reached an underground site based on accurate intelligence, from several sources… where they found the five hostages hidden behind a wall in the tunnel,” Hagari said.
Body of soldier Tomer Yaakov Ahimas, killed on October 7, returned to Israel by IDF
The body of soldier and hostage Staff-Sergeant Tomer Yaakov Ahimas was recovered by the IDF and brought back to Israel, Elad Arazi, head of the Lehavim local council, announced on Thursday.

In a statement, Arazi said, "Tonight, we were informed that the body of the late Tomer Achimas was brought back to Israel."

"Tomer, our beloved friend, son of Lehavim, fell in a heroic battle in Kibbutz Nirim on October 7."

"For over nine months, his body was held hostage by Hamas, and this evening, he was rescued by the IDF."

His family announced that his burial and funeral would take place on Friday at the Lehavim cemetery.


Seth Mandel: The Day the Angry Left Stayed Home
Those who boycotted missed a history lesson—Bibi chuckled at the thought that there were still educated folks who don’t know that the people of Israel are native to the land of Israel. And the members of Congress smiled back. That was the general tenor of the address and its reception; without the boycotters and their obnoxious “disrupters,” no one in the room felt pressured to pretend they were angrier or dumber than they were. It had the feel of a large family dinner from which a few teenagers rudely stomped off but everyone was happier with them gone anyway.

There was no news in the speech. There was gratitude for America and reasons given for that gratitude to be mutual—for example, the fact that Netanyahu said the Israeli soldiers in the gallery were the West’s boots on the ground in a common fight, obviating any need for Americans to send their own soldiers after the terrorists who stole their sons and daughters from them.

Nor was there anybody in the chamber who seemed particularly bothered by the talk of victory.

That seemed to be another lesson: The anger of the progressive left is contagious. Its rage plays satisfyingly to the inner totalitarian and the lazy academic alike. It is lowest-common-denominator politics. Take away the members of Congress whose every move and every word is geared toward their social-media “brand,” and you’re left with a recognizably normal and decent bunch of folks.

Amid all this, there was something genuinely pathetic about Tlaib and her very sad sign. Everyone was where they wanted to be today except her. The pro-Western lawmakers were in the chamber to receive the ecstatically pro-American prime minister of a crucial ally. The Squadniks and those who fear them were in their own comfort zone—far from the American flags and the “citadel of democracy,” as Bibi put it. The protesters were in their usual spot, soaking in the mists of misplaced rage. Only poor Rashida Tlaib sat there in abject misery listening to people say nice things about America.

No one who boycotted the speech had a good reason for doing so, but I suppose they would have looked even sillier booing hostages and pouting at moral clarity. And anyway, Rashida Tlaib can tell them what they missed.
JPost Editorial: Kamala Harris’s absence from Netanyahu’s Congressional address: A bad start
Custom dictates that when foreign leaders address a joint session of Congress, the Speaker of the House and the vice president sit behind them on the rostrum.

That was the case when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress in 1996, and then-vice president Al Gore sat in one of the chairs behind him. It was also true in 2011 when then-vice president Joe Biden took that chair.

Biden did not attend Netanyahu’s speech in 2015, a clear sign of the White House’s displeasure that this speech had been arranged despite their opposition. On Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris was not in that seat during Netanyahu’s address.

She should have been.

'Outragous and inexcusable'
That she wasn’t, that Harris decided instead to attend the annual convention of a sorority being held in Indiana, is a bad look and a problematic first signal on Israel in her position as presumptive presidential nominee.

As House Speaker Mike Johnson put it, “It’s outrageous to me and inexcusable that Kamala Harris is boycotting this joint session.”

Johnson, a Republican, was the lawmaker who invited Netanyahu, in part to accentuate the differences between Republicans and Democrats on Israel in an election year. He knew many Democrats would boycott the speech.

Yet, the Democratic leadership signed off on the invitation, and as such, Harris should have shown up. This would have been an opportunity to turn the tables on Johnson and demonstrate that there is no difference between the two parties when it comes to fundamental support for the Jewish state.

Harris must know that everything she says and does now will be carefully scrutinized. Although her office said that she was absent from Netanyahu’s speech because of a simple scheduling conflict, her absence comes within the context of the broader boycott of the speech by Democratic lawmakers.

Had Harris wanted to, she could have rearranged her schedule. That she didn’t, sends the signal that she was looking for an excuse – as many other lawmakers did – to not listen to Netanyahu.

And why would she take such a step? To pander to the progressives of her party upset with the administration’s overall strong support for Israel during the current war. She needs to be savvy enough politically, however, to realize that as she is pandering to one flank of her party, she risks alienating pro-Israel voters on the other side.
John Podhoretz: Netanyahu shows up the ‘useful idiots’ in stirring defense of Israel — and the West
The gratitude Netanyahu displayed for America’s support was canny and bipartisan. He saluted Joe Biden for having Israel’s back (though he mostly focused on Biden’s support at the beginning of the war) — and saluted Donald Trump for his role in moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and helping Israel secure historic ties with Arab countries in the Abraham Accords.

He promised victory over Hamas, by which he meant the organization’s eradication as a military, political and governing force. There was something bracing, even daring, in suggesting such a thing. Indeed, it is a mark of how profoundly the American view of war has changed that a call for victory in war seems almost radical.

America has not, in fact, been the “victor” of any major conflict it has fought since World War II. Korea ended in a standoff. Vietnam ended in a defeat. We got Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait but found ourselves at war with him 12 years later. And Joe Biden pulled out of Afghanistan.

In offering a promise of actual victory against our enemies, therefore, Benjamin Netanyahu was providing America with a gift if we’re willing to accept it: The idea that our actions, seriously undertaken and held to firmly, can actually defeat evildoers and bad actors and change the world for the better.

This is even true without, as Netanyahu pointed out, our being directly involved in the conflicts: “We help keep American boots off the ground while protecting our shared interests in the Middle East.”

What he was unable to do was announce an end to the conflict or trumpet a deal that would secure the release of the remaining hostages. He surely wanted to. But the evil Israel is combatting is holding on by its fingernails by standing on the shoulders of those kidnapped and tortured Israelis and Americans.

“The war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas surrenders, disarms, and returns the hostages.” This is the unassailable truth.

“Thank you, America. Thank you for your support and solidarity,” he concluded. “Together we shall defend our common civilization.”

These were words it would have been good for Kamala Harris to hear. But she was busy. Talking to sorority girls.
Bethany Mandel: Kamala Harris’ coded support for Hamas boosts the anti-Israel left
Harris isn’t just sympathetic to Hamas apologists domestically; she’s also taken positions that aid the terror entity strategically.

In March, she called on Israel to declare a ceasefire. She has opposed arms sales to Israel and has issued veiled threats to try to halt the Israeli operation aimed at finishing Hamas in Rafah.

“We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake,” she told ABC News.

She refused to deny that Israel might suffer consequences for disobeying the administration’s “red line” — saying only, “We’re gonna take it one step at a time.”

Throughout the war in Gaza, Harris has made clear where her sympathies lie in the existential battle between Israel and Hamas.

This week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be addressing Congress.

But Biden canceled their planned meeting — and Harris can’t be bothered to change her travel plans to fill in for her boss.

Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has been working to welcome the families of the American hostages to the speech.

“The BDS echo chamber now says Harris will be far worse for Israel than Biden was,” Richard Goldberg of the Foundation of Defense of Democracies posted on X. “Believe them.”

Not only are these positions disastrous for Israel, a potential Harris presidency spells danger for the entire Western world.

As an increasingly aggressive Iran and its proxies force a face-off of good versus evil, we now have a US presidential contender who feels more sympathy for terrorists and their apologists than for victims, including citizens of the United States.

The future of the Israel-US relationship is at a crossroads.

Choosing the route that a President Kamala Harris would set is bad news for the Jews — and for us all.
Congress Eyes Fresh Sanctions on Palestinian Government, Countering White House Embrace of Hamas-Supporting PA
Congressional Republicans want to impose a fresh sanctions package on the Palestinian government over its ongoing financial support for imprisoned terrorists. The legislation is a counter to the White House's diplomatic embrace of the Hamas-supporting Palestinian Authority (PA), which the Biden-Harris administration hopes to install as the Gaza Strip's ruling authority once Israel's war on the terror group ends.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) unveiled on Wednesday new legislation that would sanction any Palestinian official known to play a role in the government-sanctioned "pay-to-slay" program, which provides thousands of imprisoned terrorists and their families with upwards of $16 million a month. The legislation is already backed by 12 GOP senators, and a companion version is being led in the House by Reps. Doug Lamborn (R., Colo.) and Mike Lawler (R., N.Y.), according to a copy of the bill obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Republicans have been eager to cut off American aid to the Palestinian government due to its support for Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack and pledge to financially support virtually all of the jihadi fighters captured by Israel on the battlefield. The PA is currently spending more than $16 million a month on the pay-to-slay program, even as the West-Bank-based government teeters on the brink of economic collapse.

The legislation is certain to garner widespread support in the Republican-controlled House, but would have trouble passing a divided Senate. That could change, however, after the 2024 election, and with Israel’s war still ongoing, it is unlikely a functional peace agreement will be implemented before America picks its next president.

The United States is currently backing a peace proposal that would put the PA in charge of Gaza, paving the way for it to receive potentially millions more in American aid. But Cotton maintains the PA, as well as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), are incapable and unwilling to stop supporting terrorists in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

"The Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization continue to support terrorism against Israel by providing hundreds of millions of dollars per year in their reprehensible ‘pay-for-slay’ program," Cotton said in a statement to the Free Beacon. "Anti-Semitic Palestinian terrorists know they can expect payment as a reward for killing Israelis and Americans—with thousands of Palestinian terrorists tied to Oct. 7 eligible for these terror payments."

His bill, the senator said, will "ensure that the PA, PLO, and their institutions that reward acts of terrorism are punished."
Netanyahu calls for ‘deradicalized’ Gaza, anti-Iran ‘Abraham Alliance’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday laid out his vision for post-Hamas Gaza, calling for the enclave to be “demilitarized and deradicalized” in a manner similar to Germany and Japan after World War II.

Speaking to a joint session of Congress in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., he also called for the establishment of a Middle Eastern defense alliance to confront the threat posed to the region by Iran.

“The day after we defeat Hamas, a new Gaza can emerge. My vision for that day is of a demilitarized and deradicalized Gaza,” said the Israeli premier. “Israel does not seek to resettle Gaza. But for the foreseeable future, we must retain overriding security control there to prevent the resurgence of terror, to ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel,” he added.

He called for a Palestinian civilian administration in Gaza, on the condition that it not seek to destroy the Jewish state.

“That’s not too much to ask. It’s a fundamental thing that we have a right to demand and to receive,” he said.

“A new generation of Palestinians must no longer be taught to hate Jews but rather to live in peace with us. Those twin words, demilitarization and deradicalization, those two concepts were applied to Germany and Japan after World War II, and that led to decades of peace, prosperity and security.

“Following our victory, with the help of regional partners, the demilitarization and deradicalization of Gaza can also lead to a future of security, prosperity and peace. That’s my vision for Gaza.”


SPECIAL IU EDITION WITH SEN. TOM COTTON
Senator Cotton attended Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech, and shared with us his impressions. Iran's proxies, Senator Cotton said, do not threaten only Israel, they "threaten the entire US led international order." We also spoke about Israel's war in Gaza, this strange moment in American politics, the Woke, and finally Jefferson and Madison.

Israel ‘demonised and criminalised’ by the Democratic Party
Netanyahu’s former assistant foreign policy advisor Caroline Glick says Israel has been “demonised and criminalised” since October 7 in a way the world has never seen before.

Benjamin Netanyahu has called for the US and Israel to stand together during a historic address to Congress this morning.

“It’s about time that the Prime Minister of Israel came and reminded Americans why Israel is America’s most important and steadiest ally in the Middle East,” Ms Glick told Sky News Australia.


Caroline Glick joins American Agenda on Newsmax to discuss Netanyahu's address to Congress.

At White House meeting, Netanyahu thanks Biden for 50 years of support
U.S. President Joe Biden, who announced over the weekend that he would not seek re-election, opened the public portion of his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House today by deferring to his colleague.

“Welcome back, Mr. Prime Minister. We got lots to talk about, we should get to it,” Biden said in the Oval Office. “The floor is yours.”

“Mr. President, we’ve known each other for 40 years and you’ve known every Israeli prime minister, for 50 years, since Golda Meir,” Netanyahu said. “So from a proud Jewish Zionist to a proud Irish-American Zionist, I want to thank you for 50 years of public service and 50 years of support for the State of Israel.”

“I look forward to discussing with you today and working with you in the months ahead on the great issues before us,” the premier added.

Biden responded, “I look forward to it as well. By the way, that first meeting with prime minister Golda Meir? She had an assistant sit next to me, a man named Rabin. That’s how far back it goes. I was only 12 then.”

Following the remarks, they retreated for a meeting that also included U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, White House Middle East adviser Brett McGurk, presidential envoy Amos Hochstein and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew.

Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi and Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Herzog, among other officials, participated for the Israeli side.


Pelosi calls Netanyahu speech ‘worst’ of any foreign leader
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress on Wednesday afternoon as the “worst” by a foreign leader in its history, saying his time would have been better spent reaching a deal to free the hostages.

“Benjamin Netanyahu’s presentation in the House Chamber today was by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing the Congress of the United States,” Pelosi posted to X on Wednesday.

Pelosi’s post highlights a widening rift between the Democratic Party and Israel, in which American support for Israel may be shedding its bipartisan nature as the party’s progressive wing sides with the Palestinian cause.

It also raises doubts as to whether one of Netanyahu’s stated goals for addressing Congress members in the first place—“to anchor the bipartisan support that is so important for Israel”—was attainable in the current climate.

Pelosi didn’t attend the speech, choosing instead to go to an event with hostages’ families and families who’ve lost loved ones in the Gaza war.


Legislators call for briefing on Iranian influence over anti-Israel demonstrations
A recent statement regarding Iran’s subversion efforts in America released by Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence, has inspired a bipartisan group of U.S. House members to call for more information on the threat.

On Wednesday, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) led a letter to Haines calling for a classified briefing on the Iranian influence operations. Thirty-one legislators signed, including Reps. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), Susie Lee (D-Nev.) Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.).

“As you have noted, Iran is increasingly aggressive in their foreign influence efforts,” the letter stated. “Iran is already the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, supporting terrorist proxy groups including Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, who have targeted America and our allies.”

The representatives wrote that “if there is evidence that Iranian government officials are posing as activists online to encourage and financially support protests and protesters, it is vital that Congress is apprised of these specific threats. We look forward to a classified briefing.”


Legislators condemn pro-Hamas protest against Netanyahu’s congressional speech
The White House and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle on Wednesday evening condemned the protest in Washington, D.C., against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech, which turned violent and included expressions of support for Hamas.

Based on photos and video from the protest, which included thousands of protesters, demonstrators assaulted a police officer while he was making an arrest; spray painted “Hamas is comin” on a statue outside D.C.’s Union Station, along with other pro-Hamas graffiti; carried Hamas flags; called for a “final solution”; burned an effigy of Netanyahu and carried one showing him with horns covered in blood; and took down and burned an American flag outside Union Station before replacing it with a Palestinian flag.

“Identifying with evil terrorist organizations like Hamas, burning the American flag, or forcibly removing the American flag and replacing it with another, is disgraceful. Antisemitism and violence are never acceptable. Period,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement. “Every American has the right to peaceful protest. But shamefully, not everyone demonstrated peacefulness today.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) described the demonstrators as “terrorists” in a post on X, formerly Twitter. He and other Republicans visited Union Station to replace the U.S. flags later in the evening.

“Pro-terror, anti-Israel agitators are vandalizing federal property, removing American flags, and replacing them with Palestinian flags steps away from the United States Capitol,” said Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), a member of Senate Republican leadership, said on X. “This is inexcusable, and I expect them to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) called the demonstration “deeply disturbing.”

“The glorification of Hamas — a terrorist organization backed by the Iranian regime and holding over a hundred hostages in Gaza — is unacceptable and has no place in our country,” Rosen said.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) quipped, “I thought the Democrat National Convention was last month.”
McConnell urges DOJ to pursue pro-Hamas Union Station protesters with ‘equal vigor’ to Jan. 6 cases
Following protests that turned violent during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called on the Department of Justice to pursue the same maximum sentences for those involved in the defacing of Union Station that prosecutors sought “for the Capitol rioters of Jan. 6.”

Speaking on the Senate floor on Thursday morning, the top Senate Republican condemned the protesters as “a mob of far-left terrorist sympathizers” who were “too busy vandalizing our nation’s capital to tune in” to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s joint address to Congress.

“It was a powerful address. I wish more of our colleagues had heard it. But those who needed to hear it the most were otherwise occupied. Vice President Harris was on the campaign trail. Most of the Hamas apologists in Congress boycotted it,” McConnell said of Netanyahu’s speech.

“The lawless behavior of frenzied radicals in our own country over the past 36 hours only underscores the challenge facing the world’s only Jewish state. When the Jewish people try to live in peace in their homeland, they’re murdered in their beds. When Jewish students try to go to class, their classmates and professors lock arms to block their way. And when the leader of Israel comes to Washington, the same useful idiots and terrorist fifth columns clear their schedule to sow chaos,” he continued.

The White House and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle on Wednesday evening condemned the protest in Washington, D.C., against Netanyahu’s speech, which turned violent and included expressions of support for Hamas.

Based on photos and video from the protest, which included thousands of people, demonstrators assaulted a police officer while he was making an arrest; spray-painted “Hamas is comin” on a statue outside D.C.’s Union Station, along with other pro-Hamas graffiti; carried Hamas flags; called for a “final solution”; burned an effigy of Netanyahu and carried another showing him with horns covered in blood; and took down and burned an American flag outside Union Station before replacing it with a Palestinian flag.


‘Despicable acts by unpatriotic protesters’ at Union Station, Harris says
The day after anti-Israel rioters burned American flags and tagged areas near Washington’s Union Station with antisemitic graffiti—ostensibly in protest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to a joint session of Congress—Kamala Harris, the U.S. vice president, denounced what she called “unpatriotic” behavior.

“Yesterday, at Union Station in Washington, D.C., we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protesters and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric,” said the presumptive 2024 Democratic nominee for president. “I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent, and we must not tolerate it in our nation.”

Harris also condemned the rioters for burning the American flag, “a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation” that “represents the promise of America” and “should never be desecrated in that way.”

She added that she supports “the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: Antisemitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.”


Biden-Harris Admin Denied Resources to Police During Pro-Hamas Protest Where Agitators Burned American Flag, Committee Chairman Says
The Biden-Harris administration is facing pressure from a top Republican lawmaker and the head of a federal law enforcement union, who accused it of looking the other way in response to a pro-Hamas protest on federal property in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.

Rep. Bruce Westerman (R., Ark.), the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, fired off a letter to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland late Wednesday saying that Park Police requested additional manpower prior to the protest, but that the Interior Department denied those requests. In his letter to Haaland, he said the brazen attacks on federal property are correlated to the failure of Interior's leadership to provide support.

Westerman, who visited the site of the protest later Wednesday evening alongside other GOP lawmakers, demanded that Haaland provide adequate resources to the U.S. Park Police, which are tasked with protecting federal property. Westerman's committee oversees Interior and its subagencies, including the National Park Service.

The chaotic protest at Union Station came in response to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address about his nation's ongoing war against Hamas to a joint session of Congress. During the protest, pro-Hamas agitators threw human feces at U.S. Park Police officers, burned an American flag, raised a Palestinian flag, and defaced several monuments with graffitied slogans such as "abolish the U.S.A" and "Hamas is coming." Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) on Thursday called for the Department of Justice to prosecute the offenders with the same vigor that it pursued the Jan. 6 rioters.

"It boiled my red American blood to see somebody take down the American flag and burn it and then raise the flag of a foreign country on a flagpole on public land. That crosses way past the free speech line, and it just infuriated me to tell you the truth," Westerman said in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon.

"You wouldn't expect these people to have any respect for the rule of law or law enforcement officers," he continued. "I heard they were spit on, had human feces thrown at them. There were assaults. Thankfully, none of them had to be taken to the hospital. This was probably the worst thing the Park Police had to endure since the riots in 2020 when several of them did get injured and had to go to the hospital."

The Arkansas Republican said if any of the protesters are in the United States on visas or illegally entered the country, they should immediately be deported.


Congressional Democratic leaders condemn pro-Hamas demonstration in D.C.
Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill joined the growing chorus of lawmakers and officials condemning the violent pro-Hamas demonstration outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Wednesday.

“Hamas is a terrorist organization. Exalting them and burning the American flag is disgraceful and wrong, and defacing public property is illegal,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement to Jewish Insider. “Hateful and antisemitic messages and threats against Jews have no place in America and must be universally condemned.”

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the House minority leader, said during a Thursday morning press conference, “It is unacceptable to deface public property, desecrate the American flag, threaten Jews with violence or promote terrorist organizations like Hamas — unacceptable.”

“Anyone who engages in that activity should be held accountable to the full extent of the law,” Jeffries continued. “Not that complicated.”

Jeffries pushed back on the notion, presented by a reporter, that the protesters are affiliated with the left wing of the Democratic Party.

“These are individuals who have been aggressively protesting members of the House Democratic Caucus, every week, every month, year after year, from Oct. 7 in connection with our support for the special relationship between the United States and Israel,” Jeffries said. “So that’s a factual assumption that is inaccurate.”

Nine people were arrested at the demonstration, according to D.C. Metropolitan Police, including two for assaulting police officers. Others were charged with “crowding, obstructing [or] incommoding” and crossing a police line. No one has been charged, as of yet, in the theft and burning of the American flag outside D.C.’s Union Station or pro-Hamas vandalism of statues outside the train station.

Jeffries also spoke about Netanyahu’s address to Congress.

He denied having seen Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) protest sign, which called Netanyahu a war criminal and described him as guilty of genocide, saying that he had been “focused on the speech that was being delivered and processing the information that was being communicated.”

Pressed on whether he thought Tlaib’s protest was appropriate — she was approached multiple times by House floor staff, and temporarily put down the sign — Jeffries said Tlaib is “an elected member of Congress” who “has a responsibility to her district in the same way that I have a responsibility to my district.”


EU foreign policy chief calls Israeli move to outlaw UNRWA ‘nonsense’
The European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Thursday urged Israel to revoke its decision to outlaw the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), calling it nonsense.

“Outlawing UNRWA – and labeling it as terrorist, which it is not – amounts to targeting regional stability and human dignity of all those benefiting from the UN agency work,” he said on social media platform X.

“We join many partners in urging the Israeli government to halt this nonsense.”

On Monday, the Knesset preliminarily approved a bill declaring UNRWA, the main UN relief organization for Palestinians, a terrorist organization and proposing to sever relations — part of a trio of bills aimed at shutting down the agency.

“It’s another attempt in a wider campaign to dismantle the agency,” UNRWA spokesperson Juliette Touma had previously said of the bill. “Such steps are unheard of in the history of the United Nations.”

The first bill, which would ban the organization from operating on Israeli territory, passed 58-9, while the second, aimed at stripping UNRWA personnel of the legal immunities and privileges afforded to United Nations staff in Israel, was approved 63-9.

The third, which would brand UNRWA a terrorist organization and require Israel to cut ties with it, passed 50-10 in the Knesset plenum.

While UNRWA provides education, health, and aid to millions of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, Israel has accused multiple agency staffers of taking part in Hamas’s attack on October 7, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage.

During its operations in Gaza, the IDF has found a Hamas data center located directly beneath UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City, in addition to numerous findings indicating the use of the agency’s assets for terror purposes.


Seth Frantzman: 'The logical choice': 17 years after he fled, could Dahlan lead a post-Hamas Gaza?
Former Gaza-based Palestinian politician Mohammad Dahlan has been floated as a person who might return to Gaza and play a renewed role there, according to a recent report by The Wall Street Journal, however Dahlan himself refuted these claims, saying he would not take a leadership role despite rumors circulating.

The one-time Fatah strongman who once ran Gaza has been living abroad for many years after he was forced to flee Gaza during the Hamas coup in 2007. Dahlan has been at odds in the past with the Palestinian Authority leadership, and he has resided in the United Arab Emirates for many years, where he enjoys good relations with the leadership.

The reports about Dahlan could be relevant, according to a person with knowledge about the matter.

“I think Dahlan is the only possible transitional leader now – more like [former Afghan president Hamid] Karzai,” the source said.

This means it’s worth taking these reports seriously and looking back at Dahlan’s origins and the current state of play in Gaza.

Dahlan’s name has come up in relation to Gaza – and for good reason. There is a lack of names of those who might be able to fill a void in leadership in Gaza if Hamas is weakened. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the US Congress on Wednesday and suggested that while Israel would maintain security over Gaza to prevent another Hamas October 7-style attack, civilian leadership was needed in Gaza.

For more than six months, there has been talk in Israel about the need for a “day after” plan. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has floated the idea several times, but it has come up against pushback from other parts of the government.

The problem is that there aren’t a lot of good options for rulers of Gaza. The idea of using “clans” to rule parts of Gaza, or “civilian bubbles” free of Hamas, appeared to be shot down when Hamas murdered a well-known clan leader. The clans will only grow in strength if there is chaos and Hamas is completely weakened.

Clans are not known for being good leaders of areas, unless all law and order has collapsed, and there are no governments or terrorist groups in charge. This was the problem discovered in Iraq and Syria regarding “clan” rule.

At the same time, representatives of 14 Palestinian factions recently went to Beijing, where they agreed to work on reconciliation and unity, including Fatah and Hamas. Therefore, there is an absence of Palestinian leadership for Gaza that would also be amenable to Israel.

The silver lining is that there have been reports about meetings between Israeli, UAE, and American officials to discuss Gaza. According to a report at Axios, “The Israeli officials said the Emirati foreign minister Abdullah Bin Zayed (ABZ) hosted the meeting. President Biden’s top Middle East adviser, Brett McGurk, and State Department counselor Tom Sullivan attended from the US side.”

Dahlan could be a possible leader in the future, according to a person with knowledge about the matter.

“He has bridges with everyone but is not necessarily liked by everyone,” the source said. “But I can’t think of anyone else who has his credentials.”
Egypt showing flexibility on IDF staying along its Gaza border to block arms smuggling
After long rejecting the idea in public, Cairo is privately moving toward allowing IDF troops to remain in the Philadelphi Corridor, used by Hamas to smuggle weapons from Egypt into Gaza, Israeli officials told the Times of Israel on Tuesday.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that the IDF remaining in Philadelphi was nonnegotiable.

An Israeli official said of Egypt, "They, too, don't want Hamas to resume smuggling on the border."
US says shipment of 2,000-lb bombs to Israel remains withheld
The one withheld US shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel remains so, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby says, when asked whether there’s an update after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took a subtle dig at the administration in his speech to Congress on the matter.

Netanyahu urged the US to fast-track its weapons shipments to Israel so that it could win the war against Hamas faster.

“There’s no change in that policy at this time,” Kirby says, adding that only one shipment has been held up and that all other transfers are continuing.

US President Joe Biden has said he has withheld the shipment because he doesn’t want Israel to use such high-payload bombs in densely populated areas.


Two Gaza civilians killed at UNRWA school after failed Hamas launches
Two civilians were killed and others wounded after rockets fired by Hamas at Israeli territory from the Khan Younis humanitarian zone on Wednesday night fell short, hitting the area of the UNRWA 'Al-Qarara' school in Khan Younis, the IDF said on Thursday.

"Following the failed shooting, a number of injuries were detected in the area of the school and reports were received from representatives of international aid organizations about the death of two civilians and a number of other injured civilians," the army stated.

"In light of this, and in coordination with the Coordination and Liaison Headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces and the World Health Organization (WHO), the injured civilians were referred for primary care at the International Medical Corps (IMC) field hospital that was established during the fighting in the Deir al-Balah region," the IDF continued.

"The terrorist organization Hamas regularly violates international law, while systematically exploiting civilian buildings and the civilian population as human shields for terrorist actions against the State of Israel," the army added.

IDF finds tunnel shaft, weapons in child's bedroom in Rafah

Israeli forces located a tunnel shaft, weapons and night vision equipment in a children's bedroom during operations in the Tel al-Sultan and Shabura areas of Rafah in southern Gaza, the IDF said on Wednesday.


IDF soldier dies of wounds sustained in July 14 terror attack
An Israel Defense Forces soldier seriously hurt in a vehicular assault in central Israel earlier this month has succumbed to his wounds, the military announced on Thursday morning.

Cpt. Ariel Topaz, 24, from Pardes Hanna, was one of four soldiers hurt in the terror attack at the Nir Tzvi Junction near the city of Lod on July 14.

Topaz was an officer in the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Research Department.

The terrorist, identified as 26-year-old Muhammad Shahab from the Kafr Aqab neighborhood of northeastern Jerusalem, was neutralized by Border Police officers.

The commander of the Israel Police’s Central District, Supt. Avi Biton, told reporters that “the terrorist ran over several Israelis at a bus stop, continued a few hundred meters and carried out another … attack.”

Hamas hailed the incident as a “heroic operation,” but stopped short of taking responsibility.


Three IDF soldiers wounded in Samaria terror shooting
Three Israel Defense Forces soldiers were wounded on Thursday morning in a terror shooting on Route 55 close to Nabi Ilyas in Samaria.

Magen David Adom emergency medics treated a soldier in his 20s and another in his 30s for gunshot wounds at the scene. They were both evacuated to Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba in light-to-moderate condition.

A third soldier sustained minor injuries, according to MDA.

According to first responders, the shooting was carried out from a passing vehicle.

The IDF launched a search for the assailants.

The manhunt for the terrorists was still ongoing on Thursday afternoon, the IDF announced some eight hours after the incident, sharing video footage of operational activities in the area.

The Israel Guys: Kamala Harris REFUSES to ATTEND Netanyahu’s Speech
The presumptive Democratic Presidential Nominee, Kamala Harris, has refused to preside over the joint session of Congress that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address later tonight.

Several Jews were attacked by Palestinians near the town of Huwarrah last night and escaped being stoned. Also, the President of the Palestinian Authority sent a hilarious letter to Donald Trump expressing his “grave concern” over the attempted assassination.


The Israel Guys: Bibi Netanyahu Just Made an INSANE Speech in America's Congress
Bibi Netanyahu gave a rallying speech focused on uniting American lawmakers to support Israel's just war against terror. I believe he succeeded in this with a very clear factual speech conveying just how important it is for the US to join Israel in defeating radical Islamic terror.




Clip of Palestinian threat to Olympics is fake, possibly Russian made — experts
A video that has been widely shared on social media showing a purported Palestinian terrorist threatening attacks on France during the Olympic Games in Paris is a fake and could be of Russian origin, security sources and experts said on Thursday.

The video has emerged with France preparing to stage an unprecedented opening ceremony along with River Seine on Friday and some sporting action already underway since Wednesday.

The video, posted on social networks including X and Telegram, shows a man with his face covered by a keffiyeh scarf and only his eyes exposed threatening “rivers of blood” during the Olympics.

With a Palestinian flag pinned to his front, the man says such attacks will be retribution for what he describes as French support of Israel in its war against the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip and the presence of Israeli athletes at the Olympics.

He finishes by brandishing a bloodied head, which appears to be that of Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic.

But while the video was widely shared, many were also quick to cast doubt on its authenticity, noting it was not the style of groups like Hamas to make such videos and also questioning the quality of the speaker’s Arabic.
Iranian hackers threaten Israeli athletes at Paris Olympics in new cyber campaign
Iran is behind a recent influence campaign aimed at intimidating members of the Israeli delegation to the Paris Olympics, the National Cyber Directorate announced on Thursday after a thorough investigation.

According to the investigation, the campaign involves hackers creating social media channels to publish personal information about the delegation members and sending them threatening messages. The Directorate stated that it is actively working with the State Attorney’s Cyber Unit to shut down these channels.

The hackers have reportedly been posing as a French organization named GUD to carry out their campaign.The Directorate said that it is coordinating with the Israeli Olympic Committee and the Security and Emergency Department of the Culture and Sports Ministry to ensure the safety of the delegation members.

Gabi Portnoy, head of the National Cyber Directorate, said: “Iran is exploiting an apolitical international sporting competition to promote digital terrorism against Israel and its right to participate in these competitions.”

Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar remarked, “We are witnessing attempts by the Iranian regime to intimidate Israeli athletes and carry out psychological terror against our amazing delegation. We are here in Paris, continuing with full force, and nothing will stop us.”

“Our athletes are more prepared and determined than ever to achieve great results, and our security apparatus is ready for any scenario. We will not relent until we topple the Iranian regime,” he added.


Australian Government sanctions Israelis over West Bank violence
Extremist settlers “are not the impediment to a peaceful two-state solution”, declared Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) president Jeremy Leibler on Thursday after the federal government announced sanctions on seven Israelis for involvement in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The government announced earlier on Thursday that is has imposed Magnitsky-style targeted financial sanctions and travel bans the Israeli individuals, and targeted financial sanctions on one entity.

“The individuals sanctioned today have been involved in violent attacks on Palestinians. This includes beatings, sexual assault and torture of Palestinians resulting in serious injury and in some cases, death,” Foreign Minister Penny Wong said in a media release.

“The entity sanctioned is a youth group that is responsible for inciting and perpetrating violence against Palestinian communities.

“We call on Israel to hold perpetrators of settler violence to account and to cease its ongoing settlement activity, which only inflames tensions and further undermines stability and prospects for a two-state solution.”

Wong added, “The Albanese Government has been firm and consistent that Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are illegal under international law and a significant obstacle to peace.”

Leibler said, “There is no excuse for violence that targets civilians, and we have and continue to consistently condemn any Israeli who supports or conducts such violence.

But he said, “Palestinian violence and extremism continue to be the major impediment to peace. At a time when the Palestinian Authority has declared unity with the terrorist organisation, Hamas, and a majority of Palestinians support Hamas, these seven Israeli extremists are not the impediment to a peaceful two-state solution.

“It’s imperative these types of sanctions are consistently applied by the Australian Government in a timely manner that doesn’t risk sending a partisan message.”

He added, “We have confidence in the Israeli justice system and expect these individuals to be prosecuted by Israeli authorities. The overwhelming majority of Israelis abhor these extremists, are law-abiding, and yearn for peace with their neighbours.”

Calling out a double standard, Australian Jewish Association (AJA) CEO Robert Gregory said, “Labor has had nothing to say as many Jewish people have been murdered and severely injured by Arabs in Judea/Samaria (West Bank) recently.

“Labor has not imposed sanctions on the thousands of individuals who took part in the October 7 massacre.”
