UN Secretary-General Must Resign
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to resign for "expressing an understanding" for the "terrorism and murder" of Hamas' October 7 attacks on Israel.
"I call on him to resign immediately," Erdan wrote. "There is no justification or point in talking to those who show compassion (and looking for justifications) for the most terrible atrocities committed against the citizens of Israel and the Jewish people. (There were also many non-Jews, citizens of several countries, killed and kidnaped. Some governments remain silent about it!)
In his comments to the UNSC, Guterres called for an immediate cease-fire and decried "clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing in Gaza."
He said Palestinians had been subjected to decades of occupation, before adding: "It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum."
Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by Israel and the United States, as well as by Germany and the EU among others. (Although, many of them do not treat/call members of Hamas as the terrorists!)
The UN created the conditions for Hamas to commit the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
Each year, the ‘Ugly Nazi’ adopted an endless string of unjustifiable anti-Israel resolutions,
deliberately ignoring and rationalizing the terrorist nature of all Palestinian organisations and population.
Anger over UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres escalated as Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations said that Israel would no longer issue visas to UN officials. “We have already refused a visa for Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths,” the ambassador added. “The time has come to teach them a lesson.” (Israel must stop all branches of the UN, starting with UNRWA, from operating on the Jewish land!)
The White House, the UN, the EU, the ICC, Australia and other international Antisemitic mobsters repeatedly warn Israel by saying: "Israel must protect Gaza civilians". Not a single one of them said it to Hamas, while its terrorists are still indiscriminately firing rockets into Israel! Civilians, most of whom support Hamas and were jubilant after its terror attack on Israel, could easily move to Egypt during the last 3 weeks. Even after they expressed "serious concern" about "the humanitarian situation of Gaza civilians in Gaza", there is no real international pressure on Egypt to open the border, and let civilians leave Gaza!
Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak
There is a saying a “fish starts to rot from the head”. In the case of the United Nations, the ‘Useless Nothing’, the whole body and its branches were infested with Anti-Semitism from the day of its conception. This wildly corrupt organization has two major goals: 1) to facilitate destruction of only Jewish state; and 2) to pave a smooth way for Islamization of the Western world by maintaining and encouraging immigration to Europe, the US and even to Australia and New Zealand. There are many rich Arab countries. None of them is accepting Muslim refugees, or brothers from Africa!
Hamas Command Centre under Shifa Hospital
The Israel Defense Forces said Hamas has several underground complexes under Shifa - the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip. The military spokesperson said Israel has “concrete evidence” that “hundreds of terrorists flooded into the hospital to hide” following the October 7 massacre. (It took a while to build those underground complexes, under many civilian sites, like schools and hospitals. Having hundreds of employees in Gaza, and spending billions of in international aid dollars, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is complicit in helping terrorist organizations. It must be closed!)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the second stage of the campaign to destroy Hamas had begun with an expanding ground offensive into the Gaza Strip. Ground forces, including infantry, combat engineering forces and tanks, entered Gaza on Friday night and remained there on Saturday.
IDF soldiers raised the Israeli flag on one of the homes in Northen Gaza. The flag was raised by soldiers of the 52nd Battalion from the 401st Brigade. "We will not forget, we will not forgive and we will not stop until victory," said a soldier.
Normalization with Arab States still a Possibility
Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, said that he believes talks on normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia will resume immediately after the conclusion of the war in Gaza. "If we are not ready to overcome the obstacles and history, there will never be a chance for peace. The Arabs have shown that they are serious and ready, we hope it will happen soon," Prince Faisal said. Bahrain’s Foreign Minister, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, added that "the war in Gaza between Hamas and Israel must not be allowed to delay the economic connection in the region that began following the Abraham Accords."
Confrontation between Druze and Muslims in Israel
Violent confrontation occurred between Druze and Muslim high schoolers in the village of Maghar in northern Israel. The majority of Maghar residents are Druze, most of whom are patriotic Israelis who serve in the IDF. The village also has an Arab-Muslim and Arab-Christian minority. Former Minister Ayoub Qara praised the Druze student, stating, "Cheers to the Druze who acted quickly to halt the expressions of joy and support (by Arab-Israeli students) for the abominable murder committed by Hamas-ISIS.
Turkish President Erdogan Supports Hamas
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has cancelled his planned visit to Israel. “Hamas is not a terrorist organization,” Erdogan insisted. “It is a group of mujahideen (holy warriors) defending their lands.” The Turkish president has not condemned the massacre, nor the barbaric atrocities perpetrated by the terrorists, which included decapitation, dismembering, torture and burning people alive. (Turkey should have been thrown out of NATO years ago!)
Israel is Pulling all its Diplomats out of Turkey to “reassess relations” as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan continued to lash the Jewish state for its actions in the Gaza Strip. “Israel, we will proclaim you as a war criminal to the world,” Erdogan said. “We are making our preparations, and we will declare Israel to the world as a war criminal.” Erdogan also held Western countries responsible for the deaths in Gaza for failing to stop Israeli attacks. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived at the rally, where he delivered an anti-Israeli, antisemitic and anti-Western speech, saying. "Hamas is not a terrorist organization, but you, Israel, are the occupier." "Israel is behind the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) both with money and weapons. We know that. We will show the world the war crimes that Israel is committing. Western countries owe Israel. Turkey owes nothing. The leaders who visit Israel these days need to ask for forgiveness." (For many years Turkish President Erdogan has been playing a deception game of ‘Friendship’ with Israel. Why is Turkey still member of NATO?)
The Shin Bet investigation revealed how Hamas encouraged the murder of men, women, children, and they beheaded people, set fire to houses with people inside. Six terrorists who were captured in the wake of the massacre, it was discovered that Hamas offered significant financial incentives to anyone who successfully kidnapped an Israeli, with abductors promised $10,000 and a free apartment. The detainees also stated that "the instructions were to kidnap elderly women and children," and "to clear the houses, and kidnap as many prisoners as possible." "Hamas has become ISIS," said one captured Hamas terrorist.
No Freedom of Speech for Associated Press Reporters
The Associated Press instructs reporters and organizations that rely on its style guide to avoid referring to Hamas as a terrorist organization. Instead of referring to Hamas as a terrorist group, the outlet says journalists should call its members “militants.” “Terms such as Hamas fighters, attackers or combatants are also acceptable depending on the context,” the AP style guide states. The guidance will affect how dozens of regional newspapers and national (and international) outlets report on the ongoing war in Gaza.
Dilusional Prime Minister of the PA
Completely ignoring the act of genocide which was the unprovoked massacre of over 1,400 Israelis by Hamas on October 7, Shtayyeh claimed that the Palestinian Arabs' goal of controlling the land will not be disrupted because of "the crimes of the colonialists" as the war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization rages. Rewriting history, he emphasized that "the Palestinian people own the land, they have been there for thousands of years, while Israel is a colonialist entity that conquered our land and expelled our people." (In spite of a deep hate for each other, Hamas and Fatah have the common objectives - destruction of Israel and killing Jews!)
Quotes of the Week:
"On Friday evening, additional ground forces entered the Gaza Strip. This marks the second phase of the war. We have decided to expand the ground offensive. We are determined to settle the score with the murderers as they deserve, for the heinous acts they have committed. We've always said to the world, 'Never again - Never again is now.'" - Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel.
Corporations Mute about Hamas Terror
by Aaron Sibarium
Companies across the Western world were quick to issue statements condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the killing of George Floyd. As Israel reels from the worst terrorist attack in its history, many of those same companies are less outspoken. (Most of them are silent about Hamas terror attack, but not about Israel’s response.)
The corporate silence comes as the national Black Lives Matter group - one of the top recipients of corporate charity in 2020 - has refused to disavow a local chapter's support for Hamas, including a now-deleted post praising the terrorists who mowed down concertgoers in southern Israel. Coca-Cola, which donated $500,000 to Black Lives Matter in 2020, did not respond to a request for comment or issue a statement about the attacks.
There is more. Within a day of the Russia's invasion, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon waived long-distance call fees to Ukraine. The mobile carriers have not done so for Israel.
Though some companies, including Amazon and JP Morgan, have expressed public support for Israel since the attacks, others - including Apple, IKEA, Target, and General Motors - have not.
Universities have likewise been slow to condemn the massacre, and the ones that have spoken out have often fumbled. Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, for example, issued mealy-mouthed condolences about the outbreak of violence in the Middle East and were forced to follow up with stronger statements in response to widespread outrage. (Many of them are actually facilitating pro-Hamas and anti-Israel rallies!)
Student groups have been less equivocal than university administrators. Chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine at Swarthmore, George Washington University, and the University of Virginia endorsed Hamas's attacks, while a coalition of 34 student groups at Harvard blamed Israel for the violence. (Anti-Semitism is on the rise on university campuses, similar to Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Jewish students are in fear. And this is in the leading Wester democracy!)
