10/07 Links Pt2: Israel is surrounded by genocidal enemies; It's Been a Year of Failure for 'Pro-Palestine' Activism Following October 7

From Ian:

Israel is surrounded by genocidal enemies
These are not isolated statements. Time and again, the leaders of these Islamist movements express their overt anti-Semitism and their desire to see the annihilation of Israel. This is completely in line with a core tenet of Islamist doctrine which holds that Jews are inherently wicked and bent on Islam’s destruction.

Islamism is a thoroughly reactionary political outlook. As Syrian-born German political scientist Bassam Tibi has argued, Islamism aims to make the world subservient to God’s will. That makes it uncompromisingly hostile to notions of democracy, individual rights and popular sovereignty. Islamism also has little regard for the nation state. It aims instead for the creation of a nizam Islami, that is, a new global Islamic order.

According to this totalitarian outlook, the Jews represent evil. Israel has to be destroyed and the power of the Jews crushed as a precondition for Islamism to achieve its goals. This helps explain why such a diverse range of Islamist movements – from Sunni Hamas to Shia Hezbollah – put so much emphasis on attacking Israel.

It also helps us to understand Hamas’s motives on 7 October. Hamas does not define itself as a Palestinian movement, but as the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, an international Islamist movement based in Egypt. It sees the destruction of Israel and the slaughtering of Jews as necessary for the realisation of its broader Islamist aims.

Indeed, Hamas’s Islamism helps to explain its callous indifference to actual Palestinian lives. After all, it launched its murderous pogrom on southern Israel knowing that it would provoke a massive response from the Israeli army. Hamas had spent many years preparing the battlefield for precisely this Israeli counter-attack. Central to this preparation was the creation of a truly huge tunnel complex in which Hamas could hide itself below the Gazan population. As I noted back in March:

‘The scale of Gaza’s tunnel complex is monumental. London has a population of about nine million people, who are served by a Tube network of about 250 miles, of which about half is in tunnels, with the rest above ground. In contrast, Gaza has a population of just over two million people. But it is estimated to have about 300 miles of tunnels. So Gaza has about a quarter of London’s population, but about two and a half times the length of its tunnels.’

Notably, civilians are not allowed to shelter in these tunnels. Despite what Hamas apologists claim, it is happy to use ordinary Palestinians as human shields on a massive scale.

Hamas could have stopped the war at any time if only it had surrendered and released the hostages it captured on 7 October. Instead, Hamas leaders have kept going in the knowledge that they have a degree of personal protection. They also know there is a significant audience in the West receptive to the poisonous claim that Israel is engaged in a genocide.

This is a grisly inversion of the truth. Over the past year, it is clear that there’s only one side intent on annihilating a whole people. And that’s the alliance of violent Islamists menacing Israel at every turn. They must not win.
It's Been a Year of Failure for 'Pro-Palestine' Activism Following October 7
To add to the series of disastrous mistakes, non-Palestinian "allies" joined this unhelpful discourse, inflaming tensions and empowering extremist voices within the "pro-Palestine" movement. These groups and individuals often adopted contradictory ideologies and political beliefs, including leftists, Islamists, and even white nationalists. They were all strangely united in using Gaza as a vehicle to grow their platforms and posture as allies of the Palestinian people.

Not all pro-Palestine activism is pro-Hamas; the problem is that extremists have gone unchallenged by most pro-Palestine Arab and Muslim organizations and voices. This dereliction of duty by people and institutions is a dangerous abdication of the movement to a radical minority that has hijacked the Palestinian cause. Pragmatism, mutual humanity, and empathy are often considered treasonous or cowardly. Anyone who deviates from the script dictated by this pro "resistance" crowd is immediately attacked and delegitimized as a "Zionist sell-out," instilling fear in many to keep quiet lest they face the onslaught of threats, attacks, and risks to their safety.

The harassment and threats I have received in the past year are something that most people could not withstand. However, the more I am attacked, the more I am determined to speak out and never back down—because I love my people and believe in the justice and urgency of the Palestinian cause.

It should not be controversial to condemn an Islamist terror organization that has tortured its people, and criticism of Hamas should not be equated to supporting the Israeli war in Gaza or siding with Israeli policies.

Empathy for Israeli victims of terrorism does not take away from the horror taking place in Gaza. Numerous Israelis and diaspora Jews have been steadfast and sincere allies throughout this past year, especially when I lost dozens of my family members in Israeli airstrikes.

There is still time to adjust course and build bridges with diverse communities to achieve a pragmatic outcome that serves the Palestinian people while acknowledging Jewish and Israeli rights and grievances.

It's time for a new way that breaks the entrenchment of the two sides' narratives and cuts across the divisive rhetoric that has destroyed this discourse.

Palestinians are tired of being perpetual victims.
Tehran’s Tactical Knockout: Weaponized Pharmaceutical-Based Agents
As early as the 1980s, the U.S. intelligence community documented the ways in which Iran deployed chemical weapons for tactical delivery on the battlefield. Nearly 40 years later, U.S. officials formally assessed that Iran was in non-compliance with its Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) obligations, pointing specifically to Tehran’s development of pharmaceutical-based agents (PBAs) that attack a person’s central nervous system as part of a chemical weapons program. Over time, concern about this program has increased, with reports to the Organisation for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), statements by multilateral groups such as the G7, and a variety of U.S. government reports and sanctions. Today, with Iran’s proxies wreaking havoc throughout the region, officials worry Tehran may have already provided weaponized PBAs to several of its partners and proxies. Such a capability, tactically deployed on the battlefield, could enable further October 7-style cross-border raids or kidnapping operations. With the region on edge following the targeted killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, followed by an Israeli ground campaign targeting Hezbollah infrastructure along the border, and the Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel, concern about the use of such tactical chemical weapons is high.

Since at least 2005, U.S. authorities contend, Iran has conducted extensive research and development of pharmaceutical-based chemical agents (PBAs), primarily anesthetics used to incapacitate victims by targeting the central nervous system, in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.1 While Tehran contends its PBA program is allowed under an exception for developing crowd control tools for law enforcement, Iran has been called out—along with Russia and Syria—for developing these dual-use chemical agents by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).2 While the issue has received scant public attention, the U.S. State,3 Treasury,4 and Defense5 departments, as well as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence6 and the G7,7 have highlighted the issue and begun taking action against Iranian entities tied to this activity.

Iran’s weaponization of PBAs, however, is no longer just a matter of research and development. Beyond its R&D program, Iran now appears to have produced fentanyl-based or other types of weaponized PBAs and provided these to partners and proxy groups that may have already used them in several cases in Iraq and Syria.8 At home, Iranian journalists have investigated the poisoning of thousands of school-aged girls with some suspecting the symptoms displayed suggest the involvement of PBAs (some believe this was an Iranian government response to a protest movement, while the Iranian government claims it was an attack by unspecified ‘enemies’).9 Now, after a year of near-daily rocket fire by Hezbollah into northern Israel, Israeli authorities fear Hezbollah may attempt an October 7-style cross border raid into Israel from Lebanon in which the group could use Iranian-manufactured PBAs to incapacitate and kidnap Israeli soldiers deployed along the border, and enable fighters to penetrate farther into Israel to attack civilian communities.10 In the post-October 7 security environment, U.S. officials have prioritized the issue of Iran’s weaponization of PBAs in their diplomatic engagement at multinational fora like the OPCW and in bilateral engagements with allies around the world. The stakes are now higher still after the targeted killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and the Israeli military maneuvers in southern Lebanon aimed at rooting out Hezbollah military infrastructure there.

This article briefly explains what pharmaceutical-based agents are, and explores the dangers posed by weaponized PBA’s as tactical battlefield weapons developed by Iran. Based on declassified CIA reports, the article explores the history of Iraq’s use of chemical weapons against Iran, Iran’s own development and deployment of chemical weapons, and concerns that Iran has provided weaponized PBAs to its partners and proxies. This led the United States to take a leading role calling out Iran’s weaponized PBA program, which became a more immediate national security concern for Israeli in particular in light of Lebanese Hezbollah’s ‘Plan to Conquer the Galilee.’ This year, the U.S. intelligence community inserted a warning about Iran’s chemical weapons program, including incapacitating agents, in its 2024 annual threat assessment. All of which means far more multilateral and national-level actions are needed to counter Iran’s development of PBAs and its transfer of these dangerous agents to partners and proxies.


Karol Markowicz: I have spent the last year angry at Jews.
Tragedy unites.

I was in New York on 9/11 and despite the pain and fear, or because of it, there was so much warmth, care and love. I know Israel had a similar occurrence, briefly, after 10/7. Buildings in Tel Aviv were lit up with the message “together, we will win.” Israeli flags were everywhere.

In the diaspora, Jews attempted the same. But in America, Jews and their Jewish organizations had leaned so far into their leftist identity that this was difficult to accomplish, especially as October 7th brought the realization to many of them that their leftist friends were very much not on their side.

For those of us on the right, we had to be patient and watch them figure out for themselves the serious mistakes they had made over the course of decades. Some are not quite there yet and it’s been hard to watch.

Some Jews, you can not reach. Every Jewish society in history had people who lined up to help the enemy and ours is no different. Jewish Voices for Peace, and nonsense groups like that, are Jews who use their Judaism only to harm other Jews with it. Their stupid tallit, meant to be worn only in prayer, suddenly a shmata they wear to choke other Jews. They cry out for peace only when it’s time for Jews to fight back and never when Jews are attacked. They are best shunned and forgotten.

Then there are Jews who do get the moment, understand what we are up against, but have spent so long in their “we’re Democrats-first” world that they don’t know how to adjust to our current time.

An important Jewish teen organization held a major conference in Florida in February and one of the speakers was anti-Israel Congressman Maxwell Frost. Frost had called for a ceasefire in October. Yet he was invited to speak to Jewish youth at an organization that touts its connection to Israel. When I called the organization, with smoke coming out of my ears, they explained to me that yes, their event featured only Democratic politicians and elected officials but hey, they had Meghan McCain too. I love Meghan McCain, this is in no way a shot at her. She is an incredible friend to Jews and I’m so grateful for her voice. But the event was in Florida and they couldn’t find a single pro-Israel Republican elected official to speak? They actually had to work to locate an anti-Israel one, even among Democrats in Florida.

The problem is, if they could have the entire Democratic party, even the squad who openly despise them, at their event to talk to the next generation, they would. They could have prominent Republicans, who actually support them, at their event but they don’t. They seemed shocked that anyone thought they did anything wrong. They have been on the Democratic reservation so long that they openly celebrate people who punch them in the face and expect the rest of us to do the same.

Jews are traditionally liberals, that’s true, but we’re not traditionally stupid. We can see with our eyes who is on our side and the lack of gratitude from Jewish organizations, because they still hope that their political team will someday take them back, is abominable.

There were the galas, for example, thrown by many Jewish organizations. I don’t begrudge anyone pretty dresses and rubber chicken or self-congratulating awards. It was a tough year and the people who helped us get through it, standing up for Jews in general and Israel in particular, should be singled out for praise.

But where were the invites and awards for the conservatives who had unwaveringly stood by us? Where was Megyn Kelly? Where were Clay Travis and Buck Sexton? Dan Bongino? Xaviaer DuRousseau? Erick Erickson? Dana Loesch? Glenn Beck? Guy Benson? Sohrab Ahmari? Stephen “RedSteeze” Miller? Kurt Schlichter? Mary Katharine Ham? Pretty much everyone on Fox News? I only leave off Douglas Murray because he did get one from the country of Israel and one from the Manhattan Institute for his “unwavering defense of Western values,” which is for something even wider than just his defense of Israel and Jews, and Meghan McCain because she got one from the right-leaning magazine Algemeiner Journal. They both deserve even more.

My list of well-known non-Jewish conservatives, with giant platforms, who spent the year standing up for Israel and for Jews in America, could go on and on. These people went above and beyond and got no official thank you from the American Jewish community at all, not a single Jewish organization celebrated them. It’s sickening. These mensches didn’t benefit one iota from standing with Jews and with Israel. They took shots for us, they suffered abuse for us. They’ll say they don’t need the praise. They did it because it was right. But how dare we not say thank you? Throw your Tikkun Olam in the nearest trash can and learn Hakarat Hatov. And then wonder: where is the similar cadre of liberal writers and media personalities to defend you? It does not exist. Face it.
Fake solutions for a real problem
Another part of the global chorus has already embarked on “peace-making” hallucinations by suggesting “solutions” to what is labeled the “Arab-Israeli problem.” The American magazine Foreign Affairs tries to revive the bitter joke of a “two-state solution,” with a new slant.

It suggests that a Palestinian and an Israeli state should be created alongside each other but with no borders, allowing each other’s citizens to reside in either of the two states. It is not clear who the “creator” of the two imaginary states would be, in effect turning both the Palestinians and Israelis into objects in their own history.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says peace could come only if Israel and Iran are disarmed and an international force deployed in the Middle East.

The wise men of the New York Times claim that the revival of the Obama “nuclear deal” with Tehran would do the trick, thus implicitly holding the Iranian mullahs responsible for the current wars. The subtext is: surrender to Tehran so that it orders its hounds to return to their niches.

Since World War II, we have witnessed dozens of wars, big and small; all of which ended when war did what it is supposed to do—that is to say, decide who won and who lost, thus allowing the emergence of a new status quo capable of offering stability if not everlasting peace.

The current wars have provided the global chorus with ample opportunity for virtue-signaling of the most cynical type. Contract-deprived stand-up comedians, half-forgotten pop-stars and academics experts in victimology say they are allocating part of their income to Gazan and Lebanese orphans. Ayatollah Ahmad Alam al-Hoda of Mash’had has chosen a cheaper option: an extra evening prayer for Hamas and Hezbollah. An Iraqi poet, seldom praised for his literary prowess, committed an encomium for slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Wrecking the furniture in universities and burning the Israeli and American flags may produce feel-good moments, but are unlikely to pave the way to peace.

One typical illusion of leftist French intellectuals of the past century or so has been their belief that, thanks to Cartesian wisdom, whenever there is a problem a solution must also be at hand; all we need to do is to find and apply it.

In real life, however, there are problems that have no solution within a reasonable span of time and space. In such cases, one risks conjuring ersatz solutions of the kind advanced by Foreign Affairs, The New York Times and the new French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, who suggests priority for rebuilding Lebanon.

Khamenei’s opening gambit may lead to a real clash of two visions for the Middle East. Khamenei wants to make the whole region look like his Islamic Republic of Iran. In a fiery speech last Sunday, Benjamin Netanyahu declared his ambition to make the Islamic Republic look like the rest of the region, that is to say swallow the bitter pill of accepting Israel as a reality.

At the risk of appearing as part of the very same chorus I am denouncing, may I suggest that Netanyahu put his phone on silent for all those who hope to second-guess him on the course he has adopted, which is to let the current war determine clear winners and losers?
John Aziz: Towards a Post-Hamas Future
Hamas chose to try to settle the conflict with Israel on the battlefield. But Hamas has no recent military victories to boast of. They have lost thousands of fighters—Israel claims to have killed upwards of 10,000 of them—while their former leader, Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Iran and replaced by Yahya Sinwar. While the war may have started with an incursion into Israel, this incursion only lasted one day, and ever since then, Israel has been on the front foot. The war has overwhelmingly taken place inside Gaza, not inside Israel. Hamas can do little but lurk in their tunnels, trying to snipe off Israeli soldiers by stealth, while hoping that their allies Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran might be dragged into a regional war to heap pressure onto Israel. And while a regional conflict that could drag in global powers like Russia and China would be a wild card in these war games, it is likely that the outcome would still be disastrous for Hamas—and would heap further immense suffering onto the Palestinian civilian population. Taking all of this into account, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that 7 October—far from being a victory—was the beginning of the end for Hamas, and for many of its ideological allies.

I am a Palestinian and I agree with the majority of Gazans that Hamas’s decision to launch the attacks of 7 October was incorrect, and I oppose their continued rule in Gaza, and anywhere else. I certainly endorse the idea of a two-state solution and self-determination for both Palestinians and Israelis. However, this dream can only be achieved through a clear process of negotiation and agreement with Israel. Just as Israelis have a responsibility to work towards peace, Palestinians will also have to work to make peace a reality. This is what Hamas could have done, instead of planning and carrying out 7 October: sit down across the table from the Israelis as responsible adults and start negotiating.

Right now, Hamas is down but not out. They will try to claw their way back from this, using the trauma of innocent Palestinians as a recruiting tool to rebuild their military strength, and win sympathy from the global Left. So, the first step towards a post-Hamas world and a better future is to be honest with ourselves and to roundly reject the behaviour of Hamas, and the murders and rapes of Israelis and others on 7 October. The events of 7 October did not benefit Palestinians in any way. Driving Israelis into the sea is not a solution to any of our problems. It will not build the Palestinian economy or unlock any economic or social opportunities.

Yes, anyone who has intentionally harmed civilians or committed other war crimes—whether Palestinian or Israeli—should be held legally accountable for their actions. Yes, Gaza must be rebuilt, and Palestinians from Gaza should not be ejected from this land. Ethnic cleansing is wrong, regardless of who is doing it. But while all people of good conscience should mourn every innocent soul who lost their life, their family, their home, or community as a result of the war, the destruction of Hamas will be nothing but a benefit. Hamas’s end would pave the way for a brighter future for Palestinians, Israelis, and the entire world.

We have to build that future, and we have to start now.
Barry Shaw: Gaza should be made an Abraham Accords protectorate led by Mohammed Dahlan
In 2007, after Dahlan resigned from his post as national security adviser, the Bush administration exerted heavy pressure on PA President Mahmoud Abbas to appoint Dahlan as his deputy. In June 2011, Abbas saw Dahlan as a serious political rival and expelled him from the Fatah party on false claims that he had murdered Arafat. Dahlan moved to the United Arab Emirates, where he made his fortune. Today, he is a billionaire and a respected close associate of the crown princes of the UAE, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. It has been reported that Dahlan played a crucial role in crafting the Israel-UAE peace agreement. Dahlan also represented the leaders of the moderate Arab states in negotiating on their behalf in trouble spots in the Middle East and Africa.

If he returned to Gaza, he would be welcomed as a hero and a savior. Although some elements may initially be resentful of his return, there is no doubt about his legitimacy to return to Gaza and Khan Yunis, his place of birth, in order to lead Gaza into a future of peace and prosperity based on his personal example.

He is a tough man who has no great love of Israel nor the current Palestinian leaders, but his loyalty to the UAE and Bahraini leaders should keep him in check, particularly with an enticing future role as president of an independent state of Gaza ahead of him.

The Wall Street Journal reported recently that in talks earlier this year between Hamas and Fatah, Dahlan presented himself as someone who could lead the assistance to establish a new administration in Gaza. The WSJ also reported that US and Arab mediators between Israel and Hamas were trying to promote Dahlan as the potential leader of the Gaza Strip after the war. All this points to Dahlan being the perfect candidate as the senior executive to head the new Gaza Abraham Accords project, and potentially to become the head of a future State of Gaza.

His brief should be to turn Gaza into a new independent state and a member of the United Nations. Gazans will have a Gazan identity and a Gazan passport.

This may upset myopic diplomats who have been dragging the dead camel of a two-state non-solution through the burning sands of the Middle East for far too long. It is time for a fresh concept, and that begins with a new Gaza as the promise of a new Middle East. As the leader of an independent Gaza bordering Egypt and Israel, Dahlan would find both countries eager to do business with him.

Israel once had plans to construct, with international partners, an offshore airport and marina connected to the mainland of Gaza by a land bridge. That was before the international community forced Israel to withdraw from the agricultural and tourism paradise we had begun to create in the Gaza Strip. Those diplomats thought this withdrawal would lead to peace for Israel and a better future for the Arabs in Gaza. As usual, they were wrong.

However, Israel’s ambitious plan can be realized for the Gazans by Dahlan with the willing cooperation of his Abraham Accord partners, including Israel. The vision of Gaza becoming a successful tourist, trade, and hi-tech country would be an example to a Palestinian Authority floundering under a corrupt leadership misdirecting its people into a festering ambition to occupy Israel.

A successful, peaceful, and vibrant Gaza, in the image of the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel itself, would be the model not only for a better Middle East but also for the wider world.■


I interrogated Oct. 7 mastermind Sinwar for 180 hours — there can be no peace as long as he lives
When he first met Hamas chief and Oct. 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar in 1988, Israel’s top interrogator knew he was staring into the eyes of a radicalized madman hellbent on eradicating Israel.

“I saw a man with murderous eyes, filled with nothing but hate,” former Shin Bet agent Michael Koubi, 79, told The Post.

After spending 180 hours with Sinwar following his arrest and imprisonment by Israel’s intelligence angry, Koubi said he came to know the terrorist’s one, true goal: to kill all Jews.

As Israel marks one year since the horrific Oct. 7 terrorist attack that was orchestrated by Sinwar, Koubi said the Hamas leader would never agree to a ceasefire, and that peace cannot be restored to the region so long as the Hamas chief still lives.

“Sinwar will never, never, never accept peace,” Koubi said. “As long as he is alive, he will carry out another massacre. He must be killed.”

Israel said last month that the whereabouts of the Oct. 7 mastermind are unknown and that he hasn’t been heard from in weeks.

It remains unclear where Sinwar is hiding in the Gaza Strip since he disappeared in Hamas’ tunnel system with his family on Oct. 10, 2023 — with reports emerging that he might be dead. US and Israeli intelligence has found no evidence that he was killed.

Before he became the leader of Hamas in August, Sinwar grew up in a Khan Younis refugee camp, where he quickly became radicalized by the adults around him.
Ben-Dror Yemini: Are Jordan's calls for peace genuine or manipulation?
Immediately after Netanyahu's speech at the UN, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi issued a statement that went viral: "We here, representatives of 57 countries of the Arab-Muslim Conference, hereby declare that we are all interested in guaranteeing the security of the State of Israel in the context in which Israel ends the occupation and allows the establishment of a Palestinian state."

Referring to Netanyahu himself, Safadi said: "He is the one who creates the danger to Israel because he is not interested in the two-state solution... All of us in the Arab world want peace, in which Israel lives in security and normalization relations with all Arab countries."

Sounds great. Much better than the protesters at Harvard and Columbia. But there's a problem. Safadi refers to the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, which was also adopted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which includes 57 countries.

The problem is that there is a huge difference between the Saudi initiative, which was not adopted at the summit in Beirut, and the "Arab Peace Initiative," which was adopted under pressure from the rejectionist countries.

The Saudi initiative does not include the right of return for Palestinians. The Arab Peace Initiative, on the other hand, includes not only Resolution 194, which means the right of return, but also opposition to granting citizenship to Palestinians in Arab countries.

These are not mere words. The Palestinians rejected the U.S. President Bill Clinton's plan, which was presented in December 2000. They made exaggerated demands at the Taba talks in 2001. They rejected Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's initiative in 2008. They rejected John Kerry and Barack Obama's proposals in 2014.

So Safadi's remarks should be welcomed, but with a question: Do you mean two states, or two states for two peoples? Because the meaning of the first option is mainly a right of return, which would deny the right of a Jewish state to exist.

As far as the second option is concerned, it can be the beginning of a wonderful friendship. Here and there, it must be clarified, there were courageous Arab statements against the full realization of the right of return. But when the Palestinians came to the negotiating table, they always, but always, rejected any peace initiative. They want a state. And that's okay. But they want millions of Palestinians, that is, most Palestinians, to move to the neighboring country, Israel.
Geert Wilders: We Will Not Let Our Country and Continent Be Destroyed
The hatred of extreme left-wing agitators and parts of the left-liberal elite in politics and the media against our Jewish compatriots and the State of Israel since the barbaric massacre of innocent civilians on October 7, 2023, has directly fueled anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews.

It started immediately after October 7 with inflammatory demonstrations of millions of people with false flags and slogans in many European capitals, including many non-Western immigrants, who thereby demonstrated that they do not share any of our values ​​and do not belong here. Then followed the betrayal at universities and in parts of our media and politics. Both nationally and internationally, from the [Netherlands] House of Representatives to the EU and UN, as well as in newspapers and on TV. Every day again. There are now even police officers who refuse to protect Jewish objects and instead of being fired on the spot, their cowardly police chiefs show understanding.

We are as strong as our weakest link. And there are so many weak links. All of whom will be commemorating the massacres of a year ago on Monday with packs of butter on their heads [Dutch expression for hypocrites].

I will always continue to point out their cowardice. And stand up for our values, culture and traditions. That also distinguishes us from the hostile killing machines of Hamas cum suis and the defenders of all their evil. They love death but we love life. And we defend our way of life with everything we have. And so we resist with sincere and unprecedented strength against the unfortunately growing hatred of Jews and Israel.

Against giving away our country and continent to migrants who do not share our values. Against politicians, journalists and education administrators who shamelessly choose the side of evil and whose moral compass now lies in Gaza.

We will never give up.
But always fight evil, whatever the cost.
Because we will not let our country and continent be destroyed.

We choose the power of reason.
And we will win.
Here in the Netherlands and in Israel.

Am Israel Chai. [Israel will live.]
Benjamin Netanyahu's Churchill moment comes amid multifront war against Iranian terror, expert says
Kahana noted, "Bibi made the right actions against Hamas and Hezbollah. That is why you see him rising in the polls. He is the only one to use the term victory. You don’t hear that from the security establishment." He cited the examples of Bibi’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, and Herzi Halevi , the chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, who "are not talking about a complete defeat of Hamas."

The veteran Israeli commentator said Israel’s seizure of the southern Gaza city of Rafah was a telling example of a clash between Bibi and his war planners, Gallant and Halevi. There was hesitation on the part of Gallant and Halevi while Netanyahu wanted to expedite the capture of Rafah, the last major holdout of sizeable Hamas terrorist forces. Kahana chalked up a possible explanation of delay from Gallant and Halevi to the Biden administration’s interference in having expressed opposition to the IDF operation in Rafah.

After a four-month offensive in Rafah, the IDF, in September, declared victory over Hamas’ Rafah brigade. The incursion into Rafah also secured the release of four Israeli hostages in June. From May to September, the IDF eliminated thousands of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists in Rafah.

According to Kahana, "Bibi had to push the army to act." He compared Bibi to Britain’s WWII prime minister, Winston Churchill, who demanded that his army do certain things but encountered resistance. Kahana noted, "Netanyahu has full responsibility for what brought about Oct. 7, but he is leading the war better than Gallant, Halevi and Benny Gantz."

Yet Bibi still has many critics who believe he should have tendered his resignation on Oct. 7 or a few months into the war against Hamas. Netanyahu has also been accused of forgoing the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza and thousands of Israelis have protested on a near weekly basis against his policies since the war began.

Yossi Melman, a veteran Israeli columnist for the left-leaning Haaretz newspaper, is one of Bibi’s sharpest critics. Melman said, "His performance is very bad." He said Bibi has "no vision and no strategy." Melman asked, "What is the strategy, what is the exit plan in the war against Hezbollah?"

He claimed, "Most of his decisions are about political and personal survival."

Israel’s then-attorney general, Avichai Mandelblit, charged Netanyahu with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a legal saga that started four years ago and is still unfolding. Netanyahu has vehemently denied all the allegations against him.

Melman also stated that Netanyahu, along with his cabinet, military and security chiefs, refused to accept responsibility for Oct. 7.

As one of Israel’s leading intelligence experts, he attributed the penetration of Hezbollah’s leadership structure to the "last four chiefs of the Mossad and the military chiefs. "Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, the Mossad, built these abilities over the years," he said. Thousands of Israelis protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government for not signing the cease-fire agreement with Gaza and to demand a hostage swap deal with Palestinians in Jerusalem on Sept. 5, 2024.

He also noted that Netanyahu also "strained relations with the U.S. in an unprecedented way. His performance is full of ungratefulness. The U.S. sent air carriers and the U.S. provided $14 billion in extra military aid and resupplied ammunition. Without that, Israel could not sustain one year against Gaza and now Lebanon and also Iran."

Melman charged that Bibi has failed to secure the freedom of 101 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

Caroline Glick, who served as an adviser to Netanyahu, took issue with criticism against him, pointing out, "Prime Minister Netanyahu's leadership in this war is a case study in tenacity and courage. Israel's other political leaders and military leadership all demanded that he capitulate to continuous pressure from the Biden-Harris administration to stand down and permit Hamas to survive and accept Hezbollah's continued presence on the border, sufficing with an entirely defensive posture."

She continued, "Had Israel agreed, its regional standing would have completely collapsed. He refused. His tenacious refusal to give up the fight and determination to fight to victory is the reason Israel has been able to turn the corner. Israel is winning today in a way that seemed unimaginable a year ago. We never would have made it to this turning point had it not been for Netanyahu."
Caroline Glick: Hear the Latest INSANE Accusations Being Leveled at Israel
As Israel begins to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Hamas-led Oct. 7 massacre, powerful politicians around the world have taken the opportunity to pounce on the Jewish state.

Join JNS senior contributing editor Caroline Glick for a post-Rosh Hashanah roundup of what global actors were saying while many Israelis were spending their weekend in bomb shelters.

Glick discusses all this, as well as the latest polls showing Israeli sentiment towards Biden and Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron's cowardice, Biden’s betrayal of Israel, the obsession with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and why Jerusalem will and must ultimately win.

Ruthie Blum: Tel Aviv tales of terror and toenails
Tuesday evening. The conductor of the train from Jerusalem to Herzliya apologizes to passengers ahead of the first stop in Tel Aviv after Ben-Gurion Airport.

“Sorry, but we can’t go any farther,” he announces over the loudspeaker. “The security situation doesn’t allow for it.”

Irritated sighs could be heard from rush-hour commuters, tired mothers with cranky children and travelers with suitcases in tow. Sketchy internet connections disrupted the updated emergency alert instructing the entire country to shelter until further notice. Earlier in the afternoon, the directive had been a bit less dramatic, urging the public to remain near safe rooms.

Though it was made clear that an attack from Iran was imminent, many Israelis believed that barrages from the Islamic Republic would resemble those launched in April—hundreds arriving in the area late at night, when the bulk of the populace was at home in bed, and with the vast majority intercepted before reaching Israeli airspace.

Ahead of that aerial assault, Israelis had been told to prepare for various scenarios, including blackouts and water shortages. For a couple of weeks, there was a rush on batteries and canned goods. But that sense of panic passed even before the fateful night; afterwards, it was merely the source of jokes.

Missiles and drones flying from all directions had become by this point and since then a regular occurrence, certainly in the north of the country, which has been bombarded hourly by Hezbollah from Lebanon without letup. And that’s not taking into account the occasional blitz from the Houthis in Yemen and more sporadic ones from Hamas in Gaza. Nor does it include a little help from the militias in Iraq.

It’s hard to believe, but Israelis have grown so used to the seven-front war that we have trouble taking enhanced warnings as seriously as we should. It’s nothing like the “boy who cried wolf,” however, since we are fully aware of the existence—and deadly intent—of the enemies around us.

When the train comes to a halt and there’s no choice but to exit at an inconvenient station, everyone files out in search of alternate transportation. Nowhere to be found, taxis aren’t an option.

The nearest bus stop is located across from the entrance to the station, but it’s impossible to cross the street directly, due to massive light-rail construction. The only way to reach it is by taking a long walk around the extensive barriers.

During the trek to the bus, news of a multi-casualty terrorist attack in Jaffa, some 10 minutes away, begins to circulate. Phone notifications are beeping with messages from concerned friends informing that the perpetrators might still be on the loose.
Kamala Harris’s unsavory supporters
Recently, a distressed Twitter/X message from a well-known Israeli-Australian human rights jurist, Arsen Ostrovsky, caught my eye. It dealt with an institute, which I must confess, I had never heard of previously, but perhaps that is merely a testament to my ignorance.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security professes to be dedicated to the study of the grisly topic of “genocide” and what so appalled the eminent lawyer was the bizarre manner in which the institute, which bears the name of the man who originally conceived the term “genocide,” has chosen to twist and distort its alleged focus of inquiry. With evident dismay, Ostrovsky tweeted: “Quite incredible that @LemkinInstitute, named after Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term ‘genocide,’ would now be shilling for jihadists of Hezbollah (and Hamas), who would seek to carry out another genocide against the Jewish people! Shame on you!”

There is much to justify his consternation. After all, the institute issued a statement that reeks of unadulterated Judeophobia, condemning Israel’s response to an unprovoked and barbarous massacre of its civilian population by the Islamo-fascist terror organization Hamas with the eager complicity of the Gazan population at large.

The institute appears willfully blind to the fact that Israel is engaged in a conflict—not of its choosing—with two terror organizations that are backed by a global state sponsor of Jihadi terror, all of whom have the explicit intent of genocide (the express intent of eliminating the Jewish state and its Jewish inhabitants) brazenly emblazoned across their publicly professed positions. In fact, the obliteration of Israel is a major part of the raison d’être of Hamas, Hezbollah and the theocracy in Tehran. Yet on its X account, the institute shamelessly accuses Israel of being a “genocidal state that is completely out of control,” alleging that it is “supported by a Western world that is, in large measure, too racist and Islamophobic to care.” Similar toxic tirades appear on the group’s website and LinkedIn account of its executive director.

Conflating ‘chalk and cheese’
It should be remembered that when Lemkin coined the term “genocide,” it was against the ghastly backdrop of the Holocaust, a mega-tragedy involving the meticulously planned and purposely perpetrated annihilation of millions of non-combatants, particularly Jews, for no other reason than their ethnic origins. Israel’s action in Gaza differs vastly from anything that can be associated, even remotely, with those comprising genocide.

After all, what genocidally inclined villain would take the painstaking –some would say decidedly ill-advised—efforts that Israel has taken to protect enemy civilians? Indeed, authoritative military sources such as Richard Kemp, the former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, and John Spencer, West Point U.S. Military Academy’s urban warfare expert, have stated unequivocally that Israel has achieved the lowest ratio of civilian casualties in the history of urban warfare. Moreover, the Israel Defense Forces have regularly pre-warned Gazan civilians to vacate certain areas and arranged for safe passage of non-combatants out of combat zones to designated sanctuary areas. Israel has also conveyed more than a million tons of humanitarian aid, including food, water and medical supplies, to the Palestinian residents of Gaza.

Perversely, it is difficult to conceive of conduct any less consistent with the practice of genocide.


Israel will, and should, attack Iran: Gen. Wesley Clark | NewsNation Now
Retired Gen. Wesley Clark says this is the moment in which Israel has to strike Iran and strike hard. He tells NewsNation that all of the crises involving Hamas and Hezbollah in the past year are traceable to Iran.




The assault on Judaism: Will the US hold Macron accountable as France takes the lead - opinion Judaism is under a dual assault: A physical assault coming from Iran and its proxies and an ideological assault coming from the West.

Over the weekend, France's President Emmanuel Macron linked the two when he announced that France has stopped providing arms to Israel that are used in its war against Hamas and encouraged others to do the same.

This is a stunning development with historical consequences. War is a zero-sum game. When one wants to support a party in war, it can either provide weapons to that party or try to prevent weapons from being used by the opposing party fighting it.

A year ago, the idea of Macron pleading with the world to effectively support Hamas in its war against the Jewish state would be unthinkable and dismissed as paranoia. But on October 5th, 2024, on the eve of one year anniversary of the October 7th attack, it really happened.

The Elyse Palace subsequently assured that France is still committed to the physical defense of Israel, pointing to its role in intercepting the Iranian missile attacks on October 1st and April 14.

Indeed, the bigger impact of Macron’s October 5th announcement may not be the potential loss of $33 million of French arms used to fend off the physical attack on the Jewish state, but the backwind Macron just provided for the ideological assault on Judaism, which is rapidly turning into an existential threat to the survival of Judaism.

Macron’s statement comes four months after France pledged to collaborate with the International Criminal Court, whose prosecutors are seeking to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant, as well as preparing the ground for the mass arrest of Israeli soldiers. This would mark the second time in 80 years that France complied with arrest warrants issued against Jews on mass.

CBS Presses Ta-Nehisi Coates About Anti-Israel Book and Leftists Melt Down, with The Fifth Column
Megyn Kelly is joined by Kmele Foster, Michael Moynihan, and Matt Welch, hosts of The Fifth Column podcast, to talk about CBS' challenging interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates regarding his anti-Israel new book, the meltdown from some on the left over it, Coates being portrayed as an expert now and his non-nuanced take on the issue, and more.


How Is CBS Marking October 7? By Admonishing Tony Dokoupil
An industry source said that Crawford has “balls of steel” and “is one of the most respected journalists at CBS.” He added: “It’s disgraceful that management chose not to answer her question in front of the whole group on the call.”

But it should not take courage in an American newsroom to state what is obviously true.

Keep in mind that this editorial meeting was held on the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel. The harshest thing that Dokoupil said in his interview with Coates was: “If I took your name out of it, took away the awards, and the acclaim, took the cover off the book, the publishing house goes away—the content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist.”

That’s putting it mildly. As our own Coleman Hughes wrote in his review of Coates’s book, it “doesn’t even mention the word Hamas—or Fatah, or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or Hezbollah, or Iran—once. In his telling, the threats don’t exist, only the barriers that Israel erects to contain them.”

We suppose that has the advantage of eschewing complexity. But this simplistic telling of the Israel-Palestinian conflict omits so much complicating history that it’s no different than a lie. It would be like writing a book about the Civil War that blames the war on the Union without ever mentioning slavery.

The other thing worth noticing is CBS’s double standard. Here was Gayle King on May 26, 2020, after the news broke that George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers. “I am speechless. I am really, really speechless about what we’re seeing on television this morning. It feels to me like open season… and that sometimes it’s not a safe place to be in this country for black men,” she said, holding back tears.

In the case of King—on the subjects of wokeism, racism, Black Lives Matter, and gun rights—her “lived experience” is an asset to the newsroom. As it should be. But for Dokoupil, his experience as the father of Jewish children who live in Israel, has no place in an interview with an author sharing his cartoonish indictment of the world’s only Jewish state.

The sad truth is that Coates is not speaking truth to power. He is echoing the new consensus of the powerful. One can find more sophisticated versions of The Message in the course catalogs of Ivy League universities, the editorial pages of leading newspapers, and in the reports of well-funded NGOs.

It is journalists like Tony Dokoupil who are an endangered species in legacy news organizations, which are wilting to the pressures of this new elite consensus.


Report: Pink Floyd’s Catalog Devalued by $100M After Roger Waters Justified October 7 Hamas Terrorist Attack
The British rock band Pink Floyd’s entire catalog of hits has reportedly suffered a stunning devaluation of $100 million, thanks in large part to frontman Roger Waters’ outbursts against Israel, including his outrageous claim that the October 7 Hamas terror attacks were justified.

Pink Floyd has agreed to sell its recorded-music and name-and-likeness rights to Sony Music for approximately $400 million, sources confirmed to Variety on Thursday. But that valuation represents a drop of $100 million from the band’s asking price of $500 million.

Waters’ comments have caused bitter infighting between the band’s members, with vocalist David Gilmour calling his bandmate anti-semitic to his “rotten core.””

As a result, according to Variety, a number of potential buyers were scared off, including a buyer who came close to signing in 2022.

Waters has made a number of outrageous comments in recent years that have landed him in hot water.

A month after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, Waters cast doubt on the massacre itself, questioning if it really happened. When asked if he thought Hamas’ attacks were justified, Waters replied: “We don’t know what they did do. But was it justified for them to resist the occupation? Yeah.”

He has also publicly chanted “to the river from the sea” — a slogan used by Hamas and its sympathizers calling for the elimination of Israel.


Greens continue their vicious attacks on Jewish community
Today is October 7th. We all know what happened on this day one year ago. The barbaric murder, assault, rape and kidnapping of approximately 1,200 innocent Israelis by Hamas extremists, is still raw and traumatic for Australia’s Jewish community.

Today is a day for mourning, reflection and unity. Today is not a day that Australian politicians should be using to weaponize their blatant antisemitism against a deeply hurt and sad Jewish community. The Greens are leading the charge!

Australia’s Jewish Community are in fear of their safety and security right now, and for good reason. Not suprising, given the obscenely aggressive and extreme anti-Israel protests in the cities of Melbourne and Sydney just this weekend (and every weekend for the past year!)

The process of mourning in the Jewish faith is deeply personal and unique to each individual. Jerusalem Post has reported that with the coming of Yom Kippur (Jewish Day of Atonement) this week on October 11th, “the major denominations have already written special prayers to be said during Yizkor, a prayer service in memory of the dead.”

The report demonstrates the kindness, respect and thoughtfulness, in how “rabbis and liturgists are trying to find ways to ritualize raw communal grief on the holy day. A number of groups have put out supplements to the High Holiday prayer book, known as the mahzor, containing reflections, prayers, and whole services addressing the mourning and anguish around the day and subsequent 12 months of a crisis that shows few signs of fading.”

Contrast this with the ongoing behaviour and actions of the Greens, especially on days like today. The Australian reported that “the Greens have accused the ‘extremist’ Israeli government of ‘genocide’ and ‘war crimes’ on the one year anniversary of the October 7th terrorist attacks.”

Of course, the Greens didn’t stop there. “By refusing to support UN resolutions on Palestinian statehood, refusing to support South Africa’s International Court of Justice case on the genocide in Gaza, refusing to sanction the extremist Netanyahu government, by continuing to import Israeli weapons used on Palestinians and to export weapons parts including for the F-35 fighter jet to be used by the Israeli military, Australia is complicit in this appalling conflict,” the statement read.


How Two Men Are Taking on #AntiSemitism with #JewHateDatabase | EP 11 Ben and David
Welcome to the 11th episode of "Here I Am with Shai Davidai," a podcast that delves into the rising tide of antisemitism through insightful discussions with top Jewish advocates.

In this episode of Here I Am With Shai Davidai, host Shai sits down with Ben and David, the passionate founders of Jew Hate Database. They dive deep into their mission of documenting and exposing anti-Semitic actions to fight for Jewish civil rights.

The conversation kicks off with Ben and David sharing their strong Jewish identities and the driving force behind their work. They highlight the frustrating lack of documentation of anti-Semitic actions post-Holocaust and stress the importance of their database in holding individuals accountable for hate speech and violence against Jews.

The Jew Hate Database is not about doxing but about exposing publicly available information to set clear boundaries against hate. The guests also discuss the double standards and hypocrisy in society regarding hate speech and the need for a centralized effort to combat anti-Semitism. They open up about the psychological toll of their work and how they have become desensitized to the hate they encounter daily.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the modern fight against anti-Semitism and the innovative ways Ben and David are making an impact.


After complaints about professor, Muhlenberg College enters agreement with Ed Department
A federal investigation into allegations that Muhlenberg College failed to protect student civil rights has concluded with a resolution agreement to prevent failures in future incidents of bias and bigotry.

The U.S. Department of Education announced on Sept. 30 that the school had accepted a resolution agreement to ensure that it followed Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in responding to allegations of harassment based on shared ancestry.

“Muhlenberg College has committed to taking additional actions to build on its already strong policies to ensure that its practices responsive to concerns from students and other college community members fulfill its Title VI obligations as already described in its campus policies,” said Catherine Lhamon, assistant secretary for civil rights at the Education Department.

The review of the school originated in multiple student complaints about a professor for “statements and social-media posts that created a potentially hostile environment for Jewish students.”

The agreement requires the academic institution to review all complaints against the professor to determine if he created such an environment. The school also agreed to review discrimination complaints from the previous school year; institute training for staff; and survey the campus to assess potential bigoted environments.

“All students deserve to learn in an environment that is free from discrimination and harassment, whether carried out by a student or faculty or staff member,” Lhamon said.


FDD: Analysis: The Houthis’ leadership structure
On October 4, the US military said it attacked Iran-backed Houthi military facilities in Yemen.

“U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted strikes on 15 Houthi targets in Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen today at about 5 p.m. (Sanaa time). These targets included Houthi offensive military capabilities. These actions were taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels,” stated CENTCOM.

Unverified video posted on social media following the operation purported to show airstrikes in the capital of Sanaa on Friday afternoon.

The strikes come five days after the Israeli Air Force carried out a long-range military operation against Houthi targets in the Ras Isa and Hudaydah areas of Yemen. The Israeli military said some of the sites targeted were power plants and a seaport used to import oil and transfer Iranian weapons to the region.

The US and Israeli strikes are in response to persistent Houthi attacks on commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea, as well as drone and missile assaults against the Jewish State following the Hamas-led terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.

While the US and its coalition partners have been conducting military operations against Houthi weapons systems, the results have yet to compel the Yemen-based group to halt its attacks. In effect, the Houthis have been able to absorb the losses they have taken from US and British strikes since they began on January 12.

CENTCOM commander General Michael Erik Kurilla shared a similar assessment in July when he reported that military operations against the Houthis were “failing” and suggested a more forceful approach against the group.

Conversely, Israel has been able to significantly disrupt Hezbollah, a more powerful Iranian proxy force in Lebanon, by targeting the group’s leadership. Meanwhile, the Houthi leadership structure remains intact. Identifying Houthi leaders and assessing the options available to act against them may be a viable strategy for the US and its partners. As of now, the weak military response against the group is not deterring the Houthis from attacking commercial and military targets.


The Free Press: Lebanese Man Taught to Hate Israel Becomes an Advocate for Peace
In today’s video, we hear the voice of Hussein, a young Shi’ite in Lebanon whose education was dominated by Hezbollah’s propaganda machinery. He was taught to hate Israel and to see its people as “zombies. . . spreading and growing, who aim to conquer the entire Arab region from the Nile to the Euphrates.”

Then, as a college student, Hussein participated in exchange programs in the West. There he met Israeli students, and the deep friendships he formed with them changed his understanding of the world. When he returned to Lebanon, he began advocating—at great risk—among his fellow Shi’ites for peace with Israel.

Over the past year, the Center for Peace Communications, a New York nonprofit, interviewed Shi’ite opponents of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Sunni victims of Hezbollah in Syria, each of whom in their own way has fought back against the group’s depredations. At great personal risk, they let us record and film them bearing witness to the reality Hezbollah hides. To obscure the identity of these brave people, we have illustrated their stories with striking animation. The voices you hear, however, are theirs.

The result is Hezbollah’s Hostages, a Center for Peace Communications production which The Free Press presents exclusively to English-language audiences on successive Mondays.
