HOLLYWEIRDER ANGELINA JOLIE HAS NO PROBME WITH HAMAS' MASS MURDER OF JEWS - Angelina Jolie: Hamas Terrorism ‘Cannot Justify’ Israel’s Bombing of Gaza
ONE MORE SOCIOPATH. JOLIE SHOULD GO BACK TO HER WAR AGAINST BRAD'S BANK ACCOUNT!
Angelina Jolie: Hamas Terrorism ‘Cannot Justify’ Israel’s Bombing of Gaza
Actress Angelina Jolie has come out swinging
against Israel’s bombing of the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the
horrific terrorist attack by Hamas, which killed over 1,400 Israelis,
most of whom were civilians.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, Jolie rightfully decried the attack on Israel before denouncing the IDF assault on Gaza.
“Like millions around the
world I have spent the last weeks sick and angry at the terrorist attack
in Israel, the death of so many innocent civilians, and wondering how
best to help. I too am praying for the immediate, safe return of every
hostage, and for the families who carry the unimaginable pain of a
murder of a loved one. Above all, the children murdered, and the many
children now orphaned,” she said.

“What happened in Israel is
an act of terror. But that cannot justify the innocent lives lost in
bombing a civilian population in Gaza that has nowhere to go, no access
to food or water, no possibility of evacuation, and not even the basic
human right to cross a border to seek refuge,” she continued.
The actress declined to
mention the neighboring countries in the region, including Egypt, have
refused to take the Palestinian refugees from Gaza.
Jolie asserted she cares
mostly about people “displaced by violence in any context” while noting
the Gaza Strip “has a population of over 2 million people (half of them
children), who have lived under a severe blockade for nearly two
decades, on top of decades of displacement and statelessness.”
“The few aid trucks that are entering are a fraction
of what is needed (and was delivered daily before the present conflict),
and the bombings are causing desperate new humanitarian needs daily.
The denial of aid, fuel and water is collectively punishing a people.
Humanity demands an immediate ceasefire. Palestinian and Israeli lives –
and the lives of all people globally – matter equally,” she continued.
As outlined by the The Hollywood Reporter
(THR), Jolie has worked with the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees for over 20 years and regularly campaigns for the “support of
forcibly displaced people around the world.”
“She first joined in 2001 as a UN goodwill ambassador and then in 2012, she was made a special envoy. Last year, she stepped down from her role with the UNHCR, saying at the time that she wanted to tackle a wider set of humanitarian and human rights issues,” noted THR.
“A week ago, the border
crossing between Egypt and Gaza opened to allow just a handful of trucks
carrying aid into the territory – an amount that aid workers have said
was insufficient to address the unprecedented humanitarian crisis,” it
added.
Most recently, comedienne Amy Schumer (herself Jewish) knocked fellow liberals calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.
“Why do you call for a cease-fire instead for Hamas to surrender?” she publicly asked.

MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN MASS MURDERERS FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. REMEMBER THE SAUDIS INVASION OF SEPT 11
Spain’s Muslim Migrant Crisis through the Lens of History
Of
the boats that arrived over the weekend, one on Saturday was carrying
320 migrants. The state news agency EFE said it was the largest number
in a single boat since human traffickers began to regularly use the
Canary Island route in 1994. The previous record of 280 was recorded
earlier this month.
As another report on
how 6,000 Muslims invaded Ceuta in 2021 explains, they come “by sea,
either swimming or with inflatables, all in a bid to eventually get to
mainland Europe.”
Once arriving on Spanish territory, such migrants invariably engage in unsavory and downright criminal behavior, such as gang-rape. They also create enclaves, or ribats, where police fear to tread.
This
is unsurprising since many of these Muslim-laden boats depart from
Senegal, which, as part of the Sahel, has a strong jihadist presence.
Of
note is that these African invaders are following the same strategy
that led to the Islamic conquest of Christian Spain in the eighth
century.
According to the Chronicle of 754,
in 711, hordes of African Muslims (“Moors”) “godlessly invaded Spain to
destroy it.” They did not pass “a place without reducing it, and
getting possession of its wealth,” boasted al-Hakam, an early Muslim
chronicler, “for Allah Almighty had struck with terror the hearts of the
infidels.”
Such
terrorism was intentionally cultivated, in keeping with the Koran
(e.g., 3:151, 8:12). Indeed, very near or even on the Canary Islands,
the eighth century invaders slaughtered, cooked, and ate—or rather
pretended to eat—their Christian captives, prompting hysteria among the
people “that the Muslims feed on human flesh,” and thereby “contributing
in no small degree to increase the panic of the infidels,” wrote
another Muslim chronicler.
Emboldened
by their coreligionists’ initial victories, and reminiscent of what is
happening today, swarms of Africans “crossed the sea on every vessel or
bark they could lay hold of,” the Muslim chronicler continues. They so
overwhelmed the peninsula that “the Christians were obliged to shut
themselves up in their castles and fortresses, and, quitting the flat
country, betake themselves to their mountains.”
By 712, one year after the Islamic invasion, the Muslims had, in the words of the Chronicle of 754,
“ruined beautiful cities, burning them with fire; condemned lords and
powerful men to the cross; and butchered youths and infants with the
sword.” Several other early sources corroborate the devastation and
persecution. The oldest account, the Tempore belli, tells of
Muslims “sacking Christian temples [churches] and homes, burning the
cities of those who resisted, and taking their young women as sexual
slaves, all creating an indescribable terror.”
The difference between then and now is that the Spaniards fought back.
With the fall of Spain to Islam, many Christians fled to the
inhospitable northwestern quadrant of that Peninsula. Although the
Muslims tried to conquer this mountainous region several times, they
failed, and from it the Reconquista—the Reconquest of Spain—was born.
In
the words of the first Christian king to emerge following the Muslim
conquest of Spain, Pelagius (or Pelayo, 685-737), “I will not associate
with the Arabs in friendship nor will I submit to their authority….
Christ is our hope that through this little mountain”—which he likened
to the “mustard seed” of the famous parable that eventually grows into
something great (Mark 4:30-32) —the “well-being of Spain … will be
restored.”
And so it was.
Century after century,
the Christians militarily expanded from their northern strongholds into
central and eventually southern Spain, until 1492, when virtually the
whole of Spain had been brought back under indigenous rule.
In
short, following the eighth century Muslim conquest of Spain—which
began with seafaring Africans reaching Spain’s shores—nearly eight
centuries of brutal warfare were needed for the Spaniards to finally
expel the Muslim invaders. Rather than learn something from its own
history, when it comes to taking in illegal migrants from Africa,
today’s Spanish government is, in the name of “humanitarianism,” among
the most welcoming in Europe.
Because
if these attacks aren’t random — if they have something to do with the
system of thought guiding them — Obama might have to reconsider his
worldview. If radical Islam underlies the attacks on Jews in Israel as
well as the attacks on Jews in Paris, Obama can’t throw the Jews off of
Western civilization’s lifeboat. If the same ideology undergirds Charlie Hebdo and
the honor killing of Noor Almaleki in Phoenix, the murder and beheading
of Aasiya Hassan and the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Obama might
have to face up to reality.
He won’t. And so Americans will be told, again and again, that attacks on innocents by radical Muslims have no rhyme or reason.
Is Hamas enough to wake up the slumbering American people?
History’s
great events are often created by crisis. The reprehensible, barbaric
terrorism perpetrated by Iranian proxies (Hamas) on October 7 has
cracked open a window in our country that has the potential to finally
arouse us to see what we have become. Is it possible that Israel’s
tragic crisis can serve as our own catalyst for change?
The
reaction to the massacre of October 7 at our great universities, among
much of our media, and from some of our congresspeople might be nothing
less than shocking. Most conservatives are not shocked, just sickened,
but many liberals are shocked because they have not been paying
attention to the so-called “Great Reset” or “transformation” of America.
Well,
this is it. Do you like what you see? Does Manhattan look more like
Karachi than you remember? Los Angeles like Riyadh? Harvard, Cornell, Stanford, or the University of Michigan like
Cairo University? Dare to peer through the window, and you will see
thousands of crazed, screaming “students” hurling spittle as they glorify and justify the
beheading and burning of infants, the slicing open of live pregnant
women, the shooting and killing of hundreds at a peace concert, and the
kidnapping of 80-year-old Holocaust-survivors.
Our
young people’s reaction to these acts of pure barbarism would have been
unimaginable just 10 or 15 years ago. How are we so malleable to have
been transformed so radically?
In America, the tail (leftists) has been wagging the dog (liberals) for two decades. The Democrat party has lost its center,
and most liberals just haven’t paid attention as they blindly support
what they’d like to believe is the party of their parents, the party of
John Kennedy. But it isn’t. It’s the party of Omar, AOC, and
Tlaib. The vocal, aggressive, radical minority often dominates the
quiet majority, and in American liberal precincts, this is certainly the
case.
Back
to our window. If you crack it open just a little wider you might see
the extent of this “transformation”: the substitution of “equity” for
meritocracy, the rekindling of the lie that most whites are racists and
Martin Luther King failed, American shame (1619 Project) for American
exceptionalism, the police are malevolent and must be defunded,
heterosexuality is “out” and every other sexual orientation is “in,”
biological sex is malleable, and if you long to see our southern border
protected you are a hateful bigot. And finally, Jews in Israel, the land of the Jews from
the days of Moses and Abraham, the twelve tribes of Israel in the Book
of Joshua right up until today, are somehow “settlers and colonizers”
who must be eradicated. All of this is leftist deconstruction coming
home to roost, and we all have a front seat to witness it.
There is a great scene in Field of Dreams where
Mark (Timothy Busfield) just cannot see the ballplayers right in front
of him the whole movie...until Dr. Archibald Wright (Burt Lancaster)
steps off the field to perform the Heimlich on the choking girl (Gaby
Hoffman). Suddenly, miraculously, Mark sees it all: the players, the field, the magic. Can this Israeli tragedy wake America from our long slumber? Let’s hope so, because if we can see it, we can fix it.
British
state broadcaster the BBC interviewed a Hamas spokesman who, when
challenged on “killing people as they sleep”, terminated the discussion.
Ghazi Hamad, described by The Times of Israel as
a “senior Hamas official,” was interviewed by the BBC in Beirut, where
he lives, on Thursday, but threw his microphone on the ground and walked
out after the conversation turned to the massacre of civilians by his
organisation in October’s terrorist attack. In footage released by
the broadcaster Hamad, who has been a frequent guest on BBC programmes
going back decades, insisted the October 7th attack was purely military
and not aimed at civilians.
At
first, Hamad stuck to Hamas talking points and told the BBC that the
“military operation” was “directed” against “military soldiers who
imposed sanctions and collective punishment on our people”. He also said
he could “confirm and assure again and again” that there was “no
command. No command to kill any civilians”.
He
told the broadcaster, appearing to imply any civilian deaths were
accidental, that: “because that area is very wide, there are many people
there, there were clashes and confrontations… I don’t have details [of
what] happened inside. But I can tell you that we didn’t have any
intention or decision to kill the civilians.”
This claim came despite the growing body of often deeply disturbing evidence that Hamas terrorists did directly target civilians,
killing some 1,400 people in Israel earlier this month. When challenged
by the BBC interviewer, who asked “how do you justify killing people as
they sleep. You know, families”, Hamad responded coldly, taking the
microphone off his jacket and saying: “I want to stop this interview. I
want to stop this.”
Nearly
three weeks after the Hamas surprise terrorist attack, Israel appears
to be continuing to prepare for a ground invasion of Gaza. A prelude to
such action appears to have taken place overnight into Thursday morning,
with a column of forces pressing forwards to attack anti-tank defences
as an apparently prelude to a larger, later strike. Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country is fighting “for our
existence” and was preparing “for a ground incursion” but would not be
drawn on the where and when, “in order to better safeguard the lives of
our soldiers.”
WATCH: Muslim Mob Storms Airport in Russia’s Dagestan in Search of ‘Jewish Refugees’
An
airport in the Russian republic of Dagestan was stormed on Sunday by an
angry mob waving Palestinian flags in search of “Jewish refugees” amid
rumours of a plane arriving from Israel.
Hoards
of young men shouting “Allahu Akbar” and waving Palestinian flags
rampaged through the airport in Makhachkala, the capital city of the
heavily Muslim Dagestan.
The
Islamic locals reportedly sought to hunt down Jews arriving in the
Russian-controlled republic after rumours emerged online of refugees
from the Israeli city of Tel Aviv landing at the airport, Russian state
media RT reported.
According to the Times of Israel,
a flight from Israel was diverted due to the riots and landed at a
different airport, but still faced some riots there as well.
Footage on social media and reported on
by the Russian media outlet Lenta purportedly showed the mob even
breaking onto the runway where they went plane by plane, checking
passports and asking if passengers were Jewish.
In
one incident, a young man was surrounded by Dagestanis who took his
passport and shouted at him: “You are a Jew!”. The man explained,
however, that he was not Jewish but rather a traveller from Uzbekistan.
Russian
riot police eventually arrived to subdue the mob, however, tensions
reportedly remain tense at the time of this reporting, with the
protesters reportedly demanding that the police expel Jewish people from
Dagestan.
A
joint statement from the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Israel said: “The State of Israel views with utmost
gravity attempts to harm Israeli citizens and Jews anywhere.
“The
Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the
National Security Council are monitoring the development of events in
southern Russia, in the Dagestan district.
“Israel
expects the Russian legal authorities to safeguard the well-being of
all Israeli citizens and Jews wherever they are and to take strong
action against the rioters and against the wild incitement being
directed against Jews and Israelis.
“Israeli
Ambassador to Russia Alex Ben Zvi is working with the Russian
authorities to secure the well-being of Jews and Israelis at the site.”
The
incident comes just days after a similar mob of hundreds of Islamic
Dagestan locals ransacked a hotel in the city of Khasavyurt after
rumours reportedly emerged on local social media that Israelis had taken
up residence in the hotel.
Earlier
on October 28, hundreds of residents of Khasavyurt demanded that
Israeli citizens be evicted from the hotel. Locals gathered near two
hotels in Khasavyurt amid rumours that Israelis had moved in there.
Another
hotel was also overrun by a mob, which also demanded that guests show
their passports to prove that they were not Jewish. In an apparent
attempt to quell the anger of the mob, the hotel’s administrators posted
a notice that Jews were prohibited from staying in the hotel and
declared that no Jews were in the building.
Sergei
Melikov, the Head of the Republic of Dagestan, blamed the incidents on
fake news spread on social media which had provoked some “gullible
people”.

HAMAS IS NOTHING MORE THAN ONE MORE PACK OF MUSLIM THUGS FUNDED BY JOE BIDEN, SOCIOPATH IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
Hamas’
cause is “sick” and it must be removed from power, according to the
eldest son of Hamas’ founder, who asserted that war is now the sole
pathway to peace while laying blame for civilian casualties solely on
Hamas, whom he accused of “hijacking” Palestinian society.
He
also warned its supporters — whom he accused of caring “least” for
Palestinians “oppressed” by Hamas — of impending regret for siding with
Hamas “criminals” who are “killing Palestinian people” and whose sole
mission is to “annihilate Israel.”
On
Thursday, Mosab Hassan Yousef, who has a history of public speaking
about his experiences and transformation from a Hamas insider to an
Israel supporter, openly criticized Hamas and its supporters in a
passionate segment on Piers Morgan’s talk show.
Yousef,
originally aligned with his father Sheikh Hassan Yousef’s Hamas
movement, eventually grew disenchanted with the organization’s violent
tactics and chose to covertly aid Israeli intelligence.
He later chronicled his journey and transformation in his autobiography, Son of Hamas.
According to Yousef, Hamas has always aimed to annihilate Israel, demonstrating no acceptance of the state’s right to exist.
“Since
its establishment, Hamas has one goal in mind, which is annihilating
the State of Israel,” he said, noting that it is “not a secret” that the
terror group seeks to destroy the Jewish State.
“They cannot accept Israel or accept Israel’s right to exist,” he added.
Asked
at what point he decided to escape the Hamas environment, Yousef
highlighted events going all the way back to his childhood.
“Since
I was a child, I [had] asked my father many questions about Hamas
delusions, about their brutality, about their abuse of power, and always
he justified their position,” he said. “Then I was imprisoned with
Hamas. I spent about 27 months in Israeli prisons where Hamas was
torturing their own members — our own people — within Israeli prisons …
They killed, actually, and tortured hundreds of prisoners.”
“This
is when I started asking myself the question: what if Hamas becomes the
ruler at some point, what will they do to our people?” he asked, noting
that they did many years later and he “wasn’t surprised by their
brutality” after they had gained rule over Gaza.
Though
not surprised by the savagery of the group, Yousef expressed shock at
the “scale” of Hamas’ October 7 massacre in southern Israel, which saw
some 2,500 terrorists burst into
Israel by land, sea, and air and gun down participants at an outdoor
music festival while others went door-to-door hunting, torturing,
shooting, and kidnapping Jewish men, women, and children in local towns.

Ratner for The Washington Post via Getty Images)
The
unprecedented attack, the worst in Israel’s history, saw Hamas
terrorists slaughter over 1,400 people inside the Jewish state and wound
5,300 more. They also took at least 224 hostages of all ages.
The vast majority of the victims are civilians and include dozens of American citizens.
He
noted that Hamas’s “wiping out entire communities” of Israelis, a
people who are saddled with trauma from the Holocaust, “opened the gates
of hell on the Palestinian people,” and demonstrated the terror group’s
lack of concern for Palestinian children and civilians.
“This is how irresponsible this group [of] people [is] — that they are willing to actually sacrifice many Palestinian children, the entire Palestinian people, and use them as a fuel to just achieve their ideological agendas, their religious agendas,” he said.
“Hamas’ cause is a sick one — it’s coming from the pit of hell — and they need to be removed from power,” he added.
He then insisted that it is crucial to stop the terror group now to prevent more deadly future conflicts.
“This
is my message as an ex-Hamas member, as a son of one of Hamas’
founders: enough of this. If we don’t stop them now, the next war is
going to be deadlier, and only God knows what will happen next if Hamas
is not finished as soon as possible,” he declared.
Addressing
Palestinian support for Hamas, Yousef anticipated a celebration in Gaza
upon Hamas’s removal, with gratitude extended to Israel.
“Once
Hamas is removed from power, we’re going to witness people celebrating
in Gaza. I guarantee you that,” he said. “The people of Gaza are
oppressed [by Hamas] for so long and they had to endure siege; they had
to endure violence [and] many wars for the sake of Hamas’ lust for power
and for Hamas’ political ambition,” he said.
“When
this comes to an end, I promise you that the Palestinian people, first
of all, will thank Israel for what they did,” he added.
In
addition, he expressed his belief that after the current conflict ends,
the notion of “annihilating the Jews and the state of Israel” will be
“dropped forever.”
“Hamas
is the last experiment of adapting violence, trying to annihilate and
destroy the State of Israel,” he explained, emphasizing that Israel is
“going nowhere.”
Asked
about how to achieve peace under the current circumstances, Yousef
explained, “this time, I’m afraid that war is the only way to peace.”
“Because
if Hamas is not removed from power, then they will build more [of
their] military, they will build longer range missiles, and the next
attack — the next war — is going to be deadlier,” he said.
“The
use of force is the last resort,” he added, “you can find this in every
culture and, unfortunately, now Hamas left Israel and the free world as
well, with no choice but to fight them and put an end for their
violence.”

Addressing
the many civilians who are dying, he noted that he is well aware but
clarified that “their blood is on the hands of Hamas and Hamas only.”
He
also criticized pro-Palestinian activists, particularly those from
outside of the conflict zone, for misrepresenting the Palestinian
struggle and supporting the “criminal” Hamas movement.
“Those
who are using what [is] so called the Palestinian cause, they care the
least for the Palestinian children and their future,” he said, adding
that Palestinian society “has been hijacked by [Hamas] criminals and
anybody who takes their side is participating in their crime.”
In
addition, Yousef emphasized the stark differences between Israel and
Hamas in their treatment of civilians during conflicts, praising Israel
for its efforts to minimize civilian casualties.
“It’s
a fact that Hamas uses civilians as human shields” while “it’s a fact
that Israel called and warns civilians to evacuate buildings before they
strike them,” he said, noting that “in the meantime, Hamas put
roadblocks to stop civilians from evacuating to safe zones.”
“Israel is a democracy, Israel is accountable, Israel is not thirsty for Palestinian blood,” he added.
While
Israel is “capable of wiping out Arab capitals in seconds,” Yousef
pointed to how Israel “does not attempt to abuse its power,” yet “when
the Arabs have just a little bit of power, a couple of missiles, they
misuse [that] power by launching them at civilians [to] kill them in
their living rooms.”
“We
have a fundamental problem and we need to stop blaming Israel,” he
stated. “We invited this upon our heads and the rest of the world, if
they don’t know the reality on the ground, it’s better that they shut
up,” he added.
He
then accused supposed supporters of the Palestinians of being both
ignorant of the situation and apathetic to the people’s true needs.

“Enough
bloodshed and enough involvement from people who don’t care. They are
just warriors on keyboards. They’re just storming world capitals saying
‘Free Palestine! Free Palestine!’ They don’t know what the hell
Palestine is! I am Palestine! And [what] I say is enough of Hamas! It’s
enough of the corrupt leaderships!” he exclaimed.
“We
don’t want a Palestinian state, I don’t want a Palestinian State.
Palestinian children need education, they need security, they need life.
This is what they need, they don’t need another corrupt Arab regime,”
he added.
Answering
a question about potential radicalization due to Israeli military
actions, Yousef expressed confidence in the eventual removal of Hamas
from power and the pursuit of justice against its leaders, warning those
currently supporting Hamas of future regret.
“Listen
to this: we are going to remove Hamas from power — remember my words,”
he said. “Hamas did not only bring the wrath of Israel over Gaza, Hamas
brought the wrath of God.”
“We
are going to remove them from power and we are going to prosecute their
leaders and we are going to bring them to justice, and the world will
witness their punishment, and everyone who takes their side today, in
this state of confusion, thinking that this is a joke, I tell those
people that you are going to regret taking the side of Hamas,” he added.
“You are going to regret taking the side of those criminals who are
killing the Palestinian people.”

New York Times: Hamas Hoards While Gazans ‘Scrounge’ for Fuel, Food, Water
The New York Times,
hardly a pro-Israel outlet, has reported that the Palestinian Hamas
terrorist group is hoarding essential supplies while ordinary civilians
in Gaza “scrounge” for fuel, food, and water, confirming a charge Israel
has made for weeks.
As
supplies of virtually every basic human necessity dwindle in Gaza, one
group in the besieged enclave remains well-stocked: Hamas.
Arab
and Western officials say there is substance to Israeli claims of Hamas
stockpiling supplies, including desperately needed food and fuel.
Hamas, they say, has spent years building dozens of kilometers of
tunnels under the strip where it has amassed stores of virtually
everything needed for a drawn-out fight. It is a reality that Israel may
soon find itself grappling with if it makes good on its threat to
invade Gaza.
Hamas
has hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel for vehicles and rockets;
caches of ammunition, explosives and materials to make more; and
stockpiles of food, water and medicine, the officials said. A senior
Lebanese official said Hamas, which is estimated to number between
35,000 and 40,000, had enough stocked away to keep fighting for three to
four months without resupply.
Israel has allowed a limited amount of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza but has refused to
allow fuel to enter, saying that Hamas has plenty to distribute to the
Palestinian population, and that Hamas will seize any new fuel for its
own military purposes.
