After mulling siege plan, Israel ramps up military push in northern Gaza  

T. Belman.  I recently watch the IDF blow up a building in Jabaliya with the same aggressiveness that it blows up a Hezollah building in Beirut,

Thus no risk to our soldiers.

Here’s what ToI posted on the story.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Try A Little Honesty About Israel  

(Jim Watson/AFP/Getty Images/TNS)

Victor Davis Hanson  |

Both the Harris-Walz presidential ticket and now lame-duck President Joe Biden keep insisting that they are Israel’s best friend.

A snarly Biden recently bragged at a contentious press conference, “No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None, none, none. And I think (Netanyahu) should remember that.”

The Palestinian Tradition of Celebrating the Death of Jews  

By Bassam Tawil, GATESTONE  |   October 8, 2024

  • Palestinians have a custom of celebrating in the streets every time Israel is attacked or a Jew is murdered by terrorists.
  • It is hard, if not impossible, to find one senior Palestinian official who is willing to criticize his own people for celebrating terrorist attacks. It is also hard, if not impossible, to find one senior Palestinian official who is willing to condemn the October 7 atrocities and massacres against Israelis. Palestinian leaders have good reason not to speak out: they are afraid of being killed by their own people.

The opposite of truth is not just lies, it is chaos  

By Patricia McCarthy | AM Thinker | Oct 8, 2024

“A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial:  that is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.”  –George Orwell

The Democrats have always relied on lies, especially when it comes to their campaigns for political office.

When Hillary Clinton was running for what she deemed her rightful place in the White House, she paid for the many, many lies that kicked off the Russia hoax and led to the endless persecution via lawfare of practically everyone in Trump’s inner circle.

Heads up, Liberal Jews–Don’t be Jews On Your Knees  

By Joan Swirsky | News with Views| October 11, 2024

“Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”

Biden-Harris Admin Defends UNRWA, Blasts Israel  

This is just the beginning.

by

The 2024 election may be in the foreground, but in the background, the Biden-Harris administration is moving its ‘Revenge’ plan for Israel forward.

Like its Obama predecessor, becoming a lame-duck administration frees Biden-Harris personnel to live out their dreams of going after Israel in the remaining months. Even assuming Kamala takes power, there will be a shift of personnel. And if she doesn’t succeed in seizing power, the frenzy to do as much damage before a new administration begins reversing its anti-Israel policies will be that much more urgent.

China moderates its commentary on Israel  

Peloni:  Nothing sells like success, and it would appear that China is possibly anticipating an Israeli victory as it now specifically addresses Israel’s security concerns while foregoing its previous condemnations of the Jewish State.

Meet Kamala’s Palestinian Best Friend Who Changed Her Mind on Israel  

Is a longtime Kamala friend part of a Hamas family?

by Daniel Greenfield | October 10, 2024

“I say this as someone who’s known her since 1997: She’s trying,” Hala Hijazi assured a panel at an anti-Israel DNC event that once she was president, Kamala would crack down on Israel.

Hijazi, a Jordanian immigrant who has roots in Gaza, is close to Kamala and they both came up through the ranks together. The Muslim official and fundraiser had worked as a special assistant to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown whom she described as a “mentor”.

Kamala, Zelensky, Russia and NATO  

Peloni:  It must be recalled that Europe, not America, will feel the greater effects of the NATO overreach in Ukraine.  The faux threat from Russia on the eve of the Ukraine war was always avoidable, even after the war began, yet the very real slaughter which came as a result of NATO pursuing its bad faith negotiations crafted in the guise of the Minsk Accords will have longstanding implications for the NATO members, with its American member now being even less charmed with its oversized role in the alliance and thus likely leaving its European members with a very real potential of facing any real threat in the future on their own.

No negotiations, no peace, but what about NATO?

Kamala Harris

Presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris says she will not talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin without Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

Ukraine’s war, which is NATO’s war, is going badly. NATO’s future is in doubt.

Israel in Danger: Enemies Foreign and Domestic  

by Guy Millière  • Gatestone • October 10, 2024

  • “[Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar wants everyone to be a martyr—except for him.” Now he appears to want to have discussions again on the condition that the Israelis will not try to kill him during the negotiations on a deal. — David Greenfield, CEO and executive director of Met Council, August 28, 2024.
  • When Israelis clamor for the release of their hostages, they are, unfortunately, just letting Hamas know what a valuable bargaining chip it has – so the price goes up. For Hamas, if the families of the hostages succeed in getting Netanyahu pushed out of office, so much the better: he will likely be replaced by a “peace” coalition who will grant massive concessions to Hamas and allow it to stay in power.

War with Iran is Imminent – October 10 IDSF Daily Briefing  

T. Belman. Amir says that Israel’s goal is to destroy Hezbollah rather than the limited goal of returning Israelis to their homes. This is similar to our goal of destroying Hamas in Gaza.

He also said that we are now readying for war with Iran. He said we are in a race for time to destroy the nuclear facilities. But he didn’t say that we are going to bomb them. Instead he mentioned Regme change.
