Young Israeli Parents Hid Twin Babies Before Being Murdered by Hamas; Twins Survived
A young Israeli couple was able to hide their ten-month-old twins before Hamas terrorists broke into their home and murdered them, the New York Post reported.
Itai and Hadar Berdichevsky, both 30, were attacked in their home in Kfar Gaza, a kibbutz in southern Israel located roughly three miles east of Gaza, the Post reported, citing the Israeli outlet Walla. The parents reportedly hid the infants in a bomb shelter before being murdered trying to fight off the terrorists.
“Israeli troops rescued the unharmed babies about 14 hours later and handed them to their grandmother,” according to the report.
Israeli Ambassador to Colombia Gali Dagan has hailed the parents as “heroes” who did “everything they could to save their children,” the Daily Mail reported.
“They hid their 10-month-old twin children in the shelter while terrorists infiltrated their home,” Dagan wrote on Twitter. “Itay and Hadar were brutally murdered after bravely fighting the terrorists.”
“The babies were left alone for more than 12 hours until they were rescued. Imagine the horror. Two terrified parents doing everything they can to save their children, who are now orphaned. Blessed be the memory of these heroes,” he continued.

The Palestinian terror group Hamas launched an attack early Saturday on Israel, which has thus far killed more than 900 people and wounded 2,500, according to reports. The attack occurred on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the last festival of the High Holy Day cycle.

In response to the attack, the Israeli Airforce has struck at least 1,000 terror targets in Gaza. Israel has also mobilized 300,000 reservists in the past 48 hours as its forces continue strikes against Hamas terror targets in Gaza.
The Palestinian terror attack against Israel has been referred to as the “worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.”
President Joe Biden said the death toll of Americans in connection to Hamas’s terror attack on Israel has risen from nine to 11, while more Americans are being held hostage by Hamas.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: How Hamas Took Israel by Surprise
Israeli Actor Seriously Wounded While Rescuing Families from Hamas
An Israeli actor, who is dating one of the country’s most well-known television journalists, was seriously wounded while rescuing families from Hamas gunmen near the Gaza Strip frontier over the weekend, the New York Post reported.
Thirty-year-old Yadin Gellman, a theater and film actor and a reservist in the Israeli military, sustained gunshot wounds to his chest, leg, and hand during a gunfight with Hamas terrorists. The terrorists had infiltrated Be’eri, a community situated two miles from the edge of the Gaza Strip, according to the report.
Gellman is the boyfriend of Adva Dado, a correspondent for N12 News in Israel, the Israeli news site Ynet reported. Gellman was rushed into emergency surgery after being shot and is reportedly in serious but stable condition, the report states.
“Thank you to everyone for your concern,” Dadon posted to her Instagram account. “Please pray for his well-being as well as that of the other wounded, the missing, and the heroic fighters who are risking their lives.”

Sources close to Gellman told Israeli media outlets that he and other soldiers “saved many families.”
“Be’eri, a kibbutz that numbers around 1,000 residents, was overrun by heavily armed Hamas terrorists who managed to break through the unguarded fence surrounding the border,” according to the report. “Several residents of the kibbutz were killed.”
Dadon has been issuing live on-air reports “from towns near the Gaza frontier that have been subjected to nearly non-stop rocket and missile bombardment from Hamas militants based in the Strip,” the report states.
The Biden Regime Should Admit the Real Causes of the Jihad Against Israel
Twenty-two years after 9/11, the jihadis’ best friends are in the White House.
[Make sure to read Robert Spencer’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]
When Hamas launched its latest jihad war against Israel, the Biden regime’s initial response was mind-numbingly predictable. At 2:58AM on Saturday, the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted in Arabic: “The US Embassy is closely monitoring the security situation as a result of rockets being fired from Gaza through southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the infiltration of Hamas activists.” Yeah, “activists” with balaclavas and rifles, committing murder wherever they had the chance.
As if that weren’t bad enough, the same Office followed up at 3:24AM with an even more jaw-droppingly tone-deaf and wrongheaded statement: “We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred.” Of course, the low-level Biden regime foreign service wonks who knocked together this boilerplate said nothing about bankrolling the attacks and making them possible. The wonks continued: “We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”
In other words, Israel must not respond to the breaching of its borders and wholesale murder of its citizens. That would be a “retaliatory attack,” and would solve nothing. This statement was consistent with the stance of the Biden regime and American administrations going back years: after every jihad attack against Israel, no matter how brutal and bloodthirsty, the United States urges Israel to exercise the utmost restraint in defending itself, and not engage in a “disproportionate” response. The U.S. also would then urge Israel to make concessions to the Palestinian Arabs that would presumably pacify them.
This ignored the root causes of the conflict, which the U.S. government has been resolutely ignoring ever since jihadis with the same ideology as those who are fighting to destroy Israel struck our own country on September 11, 2001.
Media analysts are describing the latest attacks as a retaliation for Israel’s supposed desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque, or for “settlement” activity, and all the usual half-truths, distortions and outright lies that characterize establishment media coverage of Israel. Ultimately, however, this is happening not because of al-Aqsa, or because of any “occupation,” since the “occupation” is a propaganda fiction anyway. It’s happening because of the Islamic imperative to fight Jews.
A hadith says: “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.” (Sahih Muslim 6985) Read the beginning of the words attributed to Muhammad again: “The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight the Jews and the Muslims would kill them.”
So this is not a hadith about the “last day.” It is a hadith about the conditions under which the “last day” will come about, and how Muslims can bring about the “last day”: by killing Jews. The true believers of Hamas are busy doing it now.
In light of that, the Islamic State (ISIS) explains that Muslims’ struggle against Israel is eschatological, not political, although it acknowledges that analysts have generally missed this: “Most people have disregarded the Quranic characterization of the Jews and its aim. They have instead concerned themselves with a historical narrative of events, thereby deviating from the roots of the conflict.” These mistaken analysts, says ISIS, think that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict arose over “lands and possessions.” It asks: “Is there any pretext left on which someone can claim that the war with the Jews is not religious?”
This idea didn’t originate with ISIS. Many Muslim clerics have been saying it for years. According to The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process, Egyptian imam Muhammad Hussein Ya’qoub made the same point back in 2009 when he said: “If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. We will never love them. Absolutely not. The Jews are infidels—not because I say so, and not because they are killing Muslims, but because Allah said: ‘The Jews say that Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that Christ is the son of Allah. These are the words from their mouths. They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers before. May Allah fight them. How deluded they are.’ [Qur’an 9:30] It is Allah who said that they are infidels.”
Another Muslim cleric, Sheikh Said Al-Afani, contradicted the accepted wisdom in the West when he said: “Our hatred of them is purely on religious grounds, and not because of the pure, sacred land, which was blessed by Allah, or because of Gaza…not only because of Al-Aqsa and so on. We hate them, first and foremost, because of their enmity towards Allah, and because they slayed our prophets.”
Abdallah Jarbu, Hamas’ deputy minister of religious endowments, on Al-Aqsa TV on Feb. 28, 2010, condemned on Islamic grounds anyone who wants to negotiate with the Israelis: “I condemn whoever believes in normalizing relations with them, whoever supports sitting down with them, and whoever believes that they are human beings. They are not human beings. They are not people. They have no religion, no conscience, and no moral values.”
It is because of such views that Palestinian jihadis rape, torture, and murder Israeli civilians and then celebrate having done so. It is the resolute refusal of the Biden regime to acknowledge the Islamic aspect of the conflict that leads it to continue to prescribe the wrong solutions for that conflict, and to pressure Israel when it should be pressuring the Palestinians. Twenty-two years after 9/11, the jihadis’ best friends are in the White House.

FLASHBACK: Biden Officials Admit Palestinian Aid Money Likely To Benefit Hamas, Free Beacon Reports
The Washington Free Beacon reported back in August that the Biden administration knew its Palestinian aid would benefit Hamas, the Iran-backed terrorist group that on Saturday attacked Israel.
Internal State Department documents from 2021 said that "Hamas could potentially derive indirect, unintentional benefit from U.S. assistance to Gaza"—a violation of laws that ban the government from giving taxpayer aid to Palestinian terror groups. The department wrote up the documents, which the watchdog group Protect the Public's Trust originally obtained, as the Biden administration publicly declared the aid would be "consistent with U.S. law."
The Biden administration in 2021 restarted U.S. taxpayer-funded payments to the Palestinians, which the Trump administration had cut off because of the Palestinian Authority's support for terrorists.
That report takes on new meaning in light of Hamas's attack on Israel, the worst in the Jewish state's history. As of Sunday, Hamas terrorists have killed more than 600 Israelis and wounded thousands more, taking at least 100 Israelis captive in Gaza, Reuters reported. The group also killed nine Americans, the State Department announced Monday. Photos and videos across social media show Hamas murdering, kidnapping, and raping Israeli civilians, including women, children, and the elderly.
The Biden administration just last month gave $6 billion to Iran, which supports Hamas and helped plan the terrorist group's attack, as part of a hostage exchange. That payment, the Free Beacon reported, "likely allowed Iran to reallocate significant parts of its budget—including funds it would have been forced to spend on food and medical aid—toward its global terror operations."
While the Biden administration says the deal had no connection to the attacks, policy analysts are skeptical of that claim. Former State Department adviser Gabriel Noronha said the payment "freed up huge reserves to ensure that Iran could continue this support" for Hamas, with Iran expert Jonathan Schanzer telling the Free Beacon that the hostage deal also encouraged Hamas's hostage-taking during this attack.
President Joe Biden is also facing sharp criticism from his Republican presidential rivals, the Associated Press reported, with former president Donald Trump saying the world sees the United States as "weak and ineffective" under Biden and Florida governor Ron DeSantis saying the president's policies have "helped to fill [Iran's] coffers."

LATEST UPDATES: Israel Now At War - Maps & Updates
Nolte: Democrats Tolerate Those Who Celebrate Savagery Against Jewish Children
Let’s say that Hamas was fighting a war against Israel, and by “war,” I mean a war-war, not a terrorist campaign. On one side, you would have Israel defending its territory. On the other, you would have Hamas looking to conquer Israel. Both sides are in uniform. Both sides are focused on wiping out the other’s capacity to make war.
Make no mistake about my allegiance. Even in that case, I would want Israel to salt the earth with the grinded-up bones of every Hamas fighter, but… In that case, I would find Western supporters of Hamas a little more tolerable.
Maybe they sincerely believe the anti-Israeli lies told over the decades, the antisemitic propaganda about “colonialism” and “Palestinians” not being a race manufactured out of thin air to aid in the destruction of the Jews.
What I mean is that, in that case, I could give those we see celebrating Hamas in Germany, London, America, Canada, and elsewhere the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they just don’t know. Maybe they have fallen for the Christiane Amanpour-ing of Israel. Maybe they sincerely believe Israel is a brutal occupation force and that Hamas is fighting the righteous fight of the occupied.
Well, this isn’t that.
This isn’t even close to that.
That’s not what these monsters who live among us in the West are cheering.
No, they are cheering — openly cheering — the kidnapping, torture, rape, and murder of girls, women, and old women. They are championing — openly championing — the cold-blooded slaughter of children, families, and the elderly. They are siding with —openly siding with — those using social media to celebrate the mutilation of raped, tortured, and murdered corpses.
Whether every video of the savages committing this slaughter is verified or accurate is not the point. The point is what those celebrating this attack on Israel believe, what those who paraded and cheered for Hamas in New York’s Times Square Saturday believe, and what they believe is that they are celebrating is the rape and murder of old women and the slaughter of children.
Do you understand who lives among us: those who openly celebrate the murder and rape of innocents, of children, of old women and young girls… Among us are those who watched the same social media videos we have all watched and then took to the streets to express their support.
Just as horrifying, just as morally obscene are those who tolerate those who celebrate savagery. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) deliberately released a cryptic statement meant to show support for Hamas.
“I have been in touch with communities impacted by what’s happening in the region. It is abhorrent. My heart is with all those impacted. We need peace in this region,” Whitmer wrote.
Yes, the poor, victimized “region.”
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) condemned the slaughter of innocents but then — if you read between the lines —demanded there be no justice or consequence for that slaughter by calling for a ceasefire. Only a fool can’t see through that.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has expressed her tolerance of this horror through 24 hours of radio silence, even as her fellow New Yorkers took to Times Square to celebrate open, medieval savagery.
Not a peep from Barack Obama.
Not a peep from Hillary Clinton.
We are watching unspeakable horrors, and America’s chief virtue signalers are either silent or dog-whistling their tolerance of those horrors.
Let me put it this way…
Will Democrats treat those who tolerate those who slaughter old women and children with even a speck of the contempt they hold for Trump supporters? Will Democrats call for the closing of bank accounts? Will the Democrats who run social media censor them? Will the Democrats who run the Deep State seek to frame them so they can be held without bail? Will the Democrats who run the corporate media make them famous, doxx them, or visit their homes with a camera crew? Will Democrats call for them to be deprogrammed?
If you’re looking for some cosmic answer as to what to do about this, I’m not your guy. All I know is that We the People elected these neo-Nazis, We the People, will re-elect them, and We the People are the problem.
Nothing can be done about that. No one can save the world. You can only lose what you do have by wasting your life driven by the narcissism of trying. What you can do is take advantage of America’s vastness and move your family out of the Democrat-run cities plagued with those who tolerate those who openly celebrate the rape and murder of children and old people.
What you can do is what you can do…
There’s still plenty of America to escape to. I fear this won’t last forever… But for right now, at least, that one option remains available.
