GAMER LAWYER JOE BIDEN - ALWAYS CUTTING A DEAL FOR THE MUSLIM TERRORISTS - Ceasefire in Gaza: Boon for Hamas Nazis And can you guess what Biden is pressuring Israel to do?
JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealthwho has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, a Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes. In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Ceasefire in Gaza: Boon for Hamas Nazis
And can you guess what Biden is pressuring Israel to do?
Israel and Hamas reached an agreement brokered by Qatar to pause their fighting for four days following what a senior Biden administration official described to reporters as an “extremely excruciating five-week process” of negotiations. Under this agreement, Hamas committed to release fifty women and children the terrorists had taken captive on October 7th, in groups spread out over the four days and selected from the terrorists’ two hundred forty or so captives. In return, Israel agreed to free one hundred fifty Palestinian women and teenagers imprisoned in Israel. For each subsequent day of a pause in fighting agreed to by Israel and Hamas, an additional ten hostages would be released.
The agreement between Israel and Hamas also calls for a substantial increase in humanitarian aid and fuel allowed into Gaza during the four-day pause, supposedly to be used for the benefit of Gazan civilians.
In an entirely separate arrangement announced by Qatar, Hamas also released captured Thai nationals and a Filipino.
Hamas is exploiting for propaganda purposes images of joyful reunions of the freed Israeli hostages, especially children, with their families. Hamas wants the world to view it as a legitimate resistance movement that has taken the high moral ground by releasing vulnerable women and children from captivity. These genocidal terrorists want the world to forget that they viciously slaughtered and abducted women, children, babies, and the elderly in the first place when they invaded Israel on October 7th.
The deal between Israel and Hamas for the initial four-day pause took effect on November 24th, a day later than originally scheduled, with Hamas’ release of thirteen hostages and Israel’s release of thirty-nine Palestinian prisoners. No abducted American citizens were among the first group of women and children whom Hamas set free – not even a little American girl, Abigail Mor Edan, whom Hamas refused to release on her fourth birthday.
Hamas initially delayed its release of a second group of hostages on day two of the pause, but the snag was eventually resolved. Thirteen Israelis and four foreigners were released. However, no Americans were included in this second group either – another day that Americans kidnapped by the terrorists were left behind.
Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists killed at least thirty-one American citizens on October 7th and abducted about ten Americans. Yet President Biden, who has taken credit for his personal involvement in the hostage negotiations, failed to secure the release of a single American in the first two tranches of freed hostages.
Finally, on the third day of the pause, Hamas released Abigail Mor Edan, the little American girl whom Hamas forced to spend her fourth birthday in captivity. But thanks to the Hamas murderers, Abigail Mor Edan, a dual U.S. and Israeli citizen, has no parents to reunite with. She will not be free for the rest of her life from the trauma she experienced in witnessing the slaughter of her mother and father.
President Biden pointed to Hamas’ release of Abigail Mor Edan and of other hostages, and the sharp increase in humanitarian aid going into Gaza, as proof that the pause is a success. “Critically needed aid is going in and hostages are coming out,” Biden said in remarks to reporters that he delivered on November 26th from Nantucket where he was staying for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. “And this deal is structured so that it can be extended to keep building on these results. That’s my goal,” the president added.
However, President Biden admitted that he does not know when all the remaining American hostages will be released nor their conditions in captivity. He did not call Hamas out for violating its deal with Israel by refusing so far to allow the Red Cross to visit the hostages and report on their well-being.
While the release of any hostages is certainly a good thing, the deal as a whole benefits Hamas and places Israel at a major strategic disadvantage. The initial pause, coupled with multiple extensions as the price for the release of more hostages, stops Israel in its tracks from continuing to pursue and kill the Hamas fighters while they are on the run. Israel’s momentum in destroying Hamas’ infrastructure is stalled. In short, Israel agreed to what amounts to a de facto ceasefire, which gives Hamas an undeserved timeout to regroup and rearm with Iran’s help.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu originally vowed that there would be no ceasefire until all the hostages were released. But he agreed to accept the freeing of far less hostages, along with the military pause and other concessions, under intense pressure from the Biden administration.
Indeed, according to a senior U.S. official, the Biden administration was involved in “daily, sometimes hourly, senior level of engagement with Qatar, with Egypt and with Israel on the issue of the hostages.” President Biden himself “was engaged daily as extremely difficult talks and proposals were traded back and forth,” the official said.
Prime Minister Netanyahu undoubtedly sensed a shift in the political winds in the United States, evidenced by more Democrats turning against the U.S.’s continued military support for Israel’s counter-offensive and ratcheting up their calls for a ceasefire. The Biden administration, responding to President Biden’s declining poll numbers among young voters sympathetic to the Palestinians, expressed deepening concerns regarding Israel’s conduct of the war against Hamas and the mounting civilian casualties in Gaza.
President Biden and senior administration officials called for more Israeli restraint and for humanitarian pauses in the fighting. Prime Minister Netanyahu had reason to worry about the backlash if he did not listen to his most important ally. Moreover, Prime Minister Netanyahu had been under intense pressure at home from families of the kidnapped Israelis to secure their release.
Thus, one can understand the Israeli prime minister’s reluctant acceptance of the deal for an initial four-day pause in fighting with Hamas and the return of some hostages. But that does not make it the right decision in the long run. Hamas remains a very formidable threat to the lives of Israeli civilians and has threatened to repeat their October 7th savagery over and over again if given the chance. Israel has lost the initiative in executing its mission to destroy Hamas.
Prime Minister Netanyahu tried to assure the Israeli people that the war “will continue” after the partial release of hostages is completed until Hamas is destroyed and all the hostages are released. But Israel has painted itself into a corner with this seriously flawed deal.
So long as Hamas dangles the prospect of releasing additional hostages for every day that Israel continues to halt all military operations in Gaza, the pressure will only intensify on the Israeli government to prolong the pause. This is part of Hamas’ continuing pattern of psychological and propaganda warfare. Moreover, as the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid and fuel to Gaza expands during the initial pause, President Biden will face increasing demands at home and abroad to join other world leaders in calling for an indefinite ceasefire. He is already pushing hard for an extension of the pause.
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) was successfully applying overwhelming force to eliminate Hamas’ senior officials, destroy Hamas’ command centers, tunnels, and weapons caches, and drive Hamas fighters out of their positions in northern Gaza. As a result, the Jerusalem Post reported, “Hamas morale has been dealt a significant blow, causing many terrorists to retreat southward in Gaza, abandoning guns after clashes with IDF soldiers.” The report added that “after the IDF successfully targeted Hamas brigade, battalion, and company commanders, the terrorist group’s armed wing struggled to execute attacks against Israeli forces infiltrating terrorist strongholds.”
Before Israel agreed to the de facto ceasefire, the IDF controlled the battlefield in Gaza and ran the clock on its own timetable. Israel retained the power to unilaterally pause the fighting in localized areas for limited hours of its choosing while the IDF’s counter-offensive continued in full swing.
All this has now come to an end for who knows how long. Israel’s agreement to a de facto ceasefire, with the whole world watching, gives Hamas an invaluable reprieve before the IDF has come anywhere close to eliminating the terrorist cancer in Gaza. Hamas is undoubtedly using the prolonged halt in fighting throughout Gaza to regenerate, reorganize, resupply, and reposition its fighters to regain the advantage of surprise over its Israeli targets.
As part of the deal, Israel has halted all air traffic over the southern portion of Gaza, including drones for surveillance purposes, and is allowed only six hours a day to conduct flights in northern Gaza. Many of the terrorists had fled to southern Gaza to escape IDF’s relentless attacks in the north, but Israel’s hands are tied in being able to use aerial surveillance to effectively track their movements.
Moreover, the exchange of Palestinian prisoners detained by Israel for hostages abducted by Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups – in a three to one ratio no less – incentivizes the terrorists to kidnap more Israeli civilians as bargaining chips. Hamas, Hezbollah, and their terrorist state sponsor Iran will not hesitate to seize ever more hostages as leverage.
Hamas is releasing grannies and little children whom the terrorists forcibly abducted on October 7th. In exchange, Israel is releasing Palestinians who were in jail for attempted murder or other violent crimes and who will now be free to join Hamas in conducting further attacks against Israeli civilians.
One should learn from history, not repeat it. The 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in 2011 whom Israel exchanged for one Israeli soldier captured by Hamas five years earlier, Gilad Shalit, included Yahya Sinwar, a founding member of Hamas who became its top commander in Gaza. This bloodthirsty terrorist said he had learned, according to a Guardian article, that “the capture of Israeli soldiers was the ‘only way to free prisoners.’” Sinwar is said to be the mastermind behind Hamas’ genocidal attacks in Israel on October 7th and no doubt was behind the strategy of kidnapping so many hostages.
Every day that Israel releases three Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one hostage captured by Hamas is a day that Israel is releasing more recruits to join Hamas’ declared “permanent” war against Israel.
Every day that the IDF continues to lay down its arms is a day that Hamas will exploit to rebuild its terrorist network while making it harder for Israel to resume its military mission to destroy Hamas. So long as Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups survive to fight another day, the Jewish state’s population remains in mortal danger.
President Biden appears to be moving away from his initial full support for Israel’s objective to eliminate Hamas completely. He is adopting a softer position that would tolerate Hamas’ continued existence so long as it does not “control” any portion of Gaza. This is a recipe for disaster. Unless the terrorist cancer is removed root and branch entirely, it will metastasize.

Pro-Hamas Rallies Have Twice Targeted LA Holocaust Museums
When pro-Hamas supporters rioted outside the Museum of Tolerance for screening footage of Hamas atrocities on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, Mayor Karen Bass and the media, including most shamefully the JTA, described it as clashes between both sides and denounced “violence”.
Now some of the groups behind that protest, which have openly defended Hamas, decided to head to the site of another local Holocaust museum, the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum in Pan Pacific Park for their pro terrorist hate rally.
There’s a reason this keeps happening. And there’s a reason that no one actually condemns it.
KKK rallies outside black churches would lead to an immediate response. Supporters of murdering Jews protesting outside Holocaust museums hardly even rates a mention.
This comes at a time when the DSA and other leftists, and their members, like this Bernie Sanders supporter, feel increasingly emboldened to attack Jews in Los Angeles.
A home invasion suspect reportedly shouted “Free Palestine!” and threatened to kill a Jewish family in Studio City Wednesday morning.
According to various local reports, a man broke into a home on the 3000 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard sometime around 5 a.m. The suspect, who was armed with a kitchen knife, allegedly threatened to kill the family “because you are Jewish… Israel kill people,” per KTLA. The homeowner is reportedly from Israel. All the doors to the house are also reportedly adorned with mezuzot.
The family, which according to KTLA consisted of two adults (one of whom is nine months pregnant) and four children, hid in a safe room until the father came out and pushed the man into the backyard, where the suspect was subsequently arrested.
The suspect can be seen in video footage shouting, “Free Palestine” repeatedly and “brown lives matter” as he was being taken into a police vehicle.
Then we had this in Brentwood.
This is the work of a leftist movement that learned in 2020 that it could terrorize people with impunity. There’s no political or criminal accountability and little in the way of critical coverage. Behavior like this has become legitimized. And it won’t end here.

MUSLIMS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT CULTURE ON THE PLANET. WE WILL EXPOSE THEM AND THEY WILL GO BACK TO THEIR CAVES
Maryland Hate Crime Commission Official Likens Israel to Nazi Germany
A Maryland state official tasked with addressing hate crimes compared Israel to Nazi Germany.
"That moment when you become what you hated most," wrote Zainab Chaudry in an Oct. 17 Facebook post accompanied by two photos of Germany's Brandenburg Gate, one with the landmark lit up with the Israeli flag after Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks and another with it draped in Nazi flags in 1936, Fox News Digital reported Tuesday. Chaudry, the director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations's Maryland office, serves on the Maryland Commission on Hate Crime Response and Prevention, to which Maryland attorney general Anthony Brown (D.) appointed her in August.
Brown said at the time that Chaudry and the other 19 appointees to the commission would help by "stepping up for all Marylanders, creating structure for our governing authorities to stem the tide of underreported crimes and bias incidents, and providing relief to people affected by these divisive acts." He added that the commission would "give a voice to those who may have been too afraid to speak up."
In another post, dated Oct. 26, Chaudry lamented that "the world summoned up rage for 40 fake Israeli babies while completely turning a blind eye to 3,000 real Palestinian babies." Another post she shared suggested it was an "inconvenient fact" that the beginnings of the conflict between Israel and Hamas could be traced back to 1948, the year of the Jewish state's founding, rather than Oct. 7, when Hamas launched its surprise attack on Israel.
Chaudry told Fox News Digital that the "Nazi post" was shared by a "close Jewish friend" and accused the Israeli government of genocide.
"I strongly and unapologetically condemn Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right, racist government for repeatedly making such genocidal threats towards the Palestinian people and killing over 13,000 Palestinians in Gaza," Chaudry said, "most of them women and children murdered in their homes. Unlike many of the Israeli government's most extreme supporters, I recognize that killing any civilians is wrong, which is why my office has repeatedly condemned the killing of both Israeli and Palestinian civilians."
She also said that there was "no conflict between condemning the Israeli government's genocidal war crimes overseas and standing up against all forms of hate here at home, including anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism. False smears from anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim extremists will not stop me from standing up for justice here and abroad."
The views of one member of the commission "do not reflect those of either the Maryland Commission on Hate Crime Response and Prevention or the Attorney General," Brown's spokeswoman, Jennifer Donelan, told Fox News Digital.
"We understand that there are many viewpoints regarding current events in the Middle East," Donelan said. "The Commission will do its best to explore the impact of those events on our community, and to determine how best to address escalations in hate and bias incidents across the state." She added that the body would develop "policies and protocols" on how their members tackle such issues.
Hate crime officials have had to deal with a slew of anti-Semitic incidents since Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks, which killed about 1,200 Israelis, according to latest estimates. Such incidents have increased nearly 400 percent since the attacks, the Anti-Defamation League said last month.
PARIS (AP) – Six teenagers go on trial Monday in Paris for their alleged roles in the beheading of a teacher who showed caricatures of the prophet of Islam to his class, a killing that led authorities to reaffirm France’s cherished rights of expression and secularism.
Samuel Paty, a history and geography teacher, was killed on Oct. 16, 2020, near his school in a northwest Paris suburb by an 18-year-old of Chechen origin who had become radicalized. The attacker was in turn shot dead by police.
Paty´s name was disclosed on social media after a class debate on free expression during which he showed caricatures published by the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which triggered a newsroom massacre by extremists in January 2015.
All hearings at a Paris juvenile court are to be held behind closed doors in accordance with French law regarding minors.
The defendants arrived Monday morning at the Paris court, their faces hidden behind masks and hoods, accompanied by their families. The media are not allowed to disclose their identity.
Among those going on trial, a teenage girl, who was 13 at the time, is accused of making false allegations for wrongly saying that Paty had asked Muslim students to raise their hands and leave the classroom before he showed the cartoons. She later told investigators she had lied. She was not in the classroom that day and Paty did not make such a request, the investigation has shown.
Five other students of Paty’s school, then 14 and 15, are facing charges of criminal conspiracy with the aim of preparing aggravated violence to be committed.
They are accused of having waited for Paty for several hours until he left the school and of having identified him to the killer in exchange for promises of payments of 300-350 euros ($348-$406).
The investigation established that the attacker knew the name of the teacher and the address of his school, but he did not have the means to identify him.
The lawyer for one of the defendants, Antoine Ory, said his client is “tormented by remorse and very much afraid of the confrontation with Mr. Paty´s family.” He said the teenager “obviously didn´t know about the criminal plan” of the killer, Abdoullakh Anzorov, a Moscow-born Chechen refugee.
Ory said his client since then had “difficult” times, changed school and friends and now sees the trial as an opportunity to turn the page.
All six teenagers are facing 2 1/2-year in prison. The trial is scheduled to end on Dec. 8.
Louis Cailliez, the lawyer for Paty´s sister, Mickaëlle, said she wants “to understand the real causes” that led the students to commit something irreparable. He pointed to the “fatal combination of little acts of cowardice, big lies, calumnies, arrangements, complicity and help without which Samuel Paty would still be alive.”
“Without the denunciation, there would be no visibility (on the social media), without visibility, there would be no crime,” he said.
Eight other adults are to be sent to trial later. They include the father of the teenage girl charged with false allegations. At the time, he had posted videos on social media that called for mobilization against the teacher.
A radical Islamic activist who helped him disseminate the virulent messages naming Paty has also been charged.
The trial comes six weeks after a teacher was fatally stabbed and three other people injured in a school attack by a former student suspected of Islamic radicalization. The killing in a context of global tensions over the Israel-Hamas war led French authorities to deploy 7,000 additional soldiers across the country to bolster security and vigilance.
Pray for Palestinians to be free of their homicidal leaders
During the last Hamas-Israel war, in the summer of 2014, I was staying at the Catholic research center at Tantur, next door to Bethlehem.
Once a week, the center leaders would say a rosary to Our Lady of the Wall—the Wall being the massive concrete border wall, 30 feet high, that Israel built along the entire Green Line of the West Bank, from north of Jenin all the way south of Hebron.
The idea was that Catholic leaders were praying for all those suffering because of the wall—the tens of thousands of Palestinian workers cut off from their former livelihoods in central Israel.
Yet there were two sides to the story of the Wall. One day, soon after I arrived, I visited the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, which I hadn’t seen in more than 20 years. I stood in the plaza outside the Frank Sinatra International Student Centre and saw this odd tree growing sideways from a planter. Intrigued, I walked over to read the plaque nearby.
In July 2002, the Palestinian organization Hamas—the same Hamas that attacked innocent Israelis on October 7—planted a bomb in the Hebrew University cafeteria. The bomb killed nine students, including five Americans, and wounded 100 more. The sideways tree is a memorial to those who died. The Hamas terrorists who carried out the bombing, now languishing in Israeli prisons, just had their stipends from the Palestinian Authority increased to $2,572 per month.
Bombings were rife in the years before my visit. During the Second Intifada that began in 2000, Palestinian terrorists from the West Bank regularly blew up civilian buses and school buses. By 2003, there had been 73 suicide bomber attacks from the West Bank in central Israel, killing 293 Israelis and wounding 1,900 more, many of them children.
After the wall was finished, the bus bombings declined to virtually zero. Apparently, border walls work.
Naturally, everyone at Tantur, the European academics and the Palestinian staff, supported the Palestinian cause. Yet we European and American researchers were regularly advised to take only “Arab buses” to Jerusalem. The theory was that Arab buses would be safer because, presumably, Palestinian terrorists would only strike Israeli buses.
I took both Arab and Israeli buses, whichever went where I wanted to go. I got along fine with the Arabs, regularly squeezing myself into the hot and sweaty 231 bus from the Bethlehem checkpoint up to Jerusalem’s Jaffa Gate.
Of the four or five dozen researchers then working at Tantur, I was one of the few who spoke some Hebrew and supported Israel. The only other one who did was a Portuguese fellow working on his master’s degree at Oxford on Vatican diplomacy.
The truth is, it’s difficult not to sympathize with ordinary Palestinians. Hardworking and friendly, they are among the best educated and generous of Arab peoples. Now, they must endure regular humiliations at the hands of 18-year-old Israeli soldiers, forced to walk through innumerable checkpoints, produce papers, and keep their eyes down.
Israelis, who have been in the Army all their lives, can be abrasive, even to tourists. Hebrew is a “me Tarzan, you Jane” language at the best of times, and when combined with typical Israeli brusqueness can sound mostly like barked commands.
In addition, Palestinians have been betrayed by their leaders for more than 70 years.
From the first U.N. proposal for a two-state solution in 1947, the Palestinian leadership has consistently chosen war over peace. Their “all or nothing” intransigence—“from the river to the sea, all of Palestine will be free,” as U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib chants—has cost ordinary Palestinian families dearly.
Plus, those who call Israel an “apartheid state” don’t know what it’s like to live among people who want to kill you. While I was staying at Tantur, three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped on the West Bank and, it was discovered later, summarily executed.
At the same time, Hamas began firing mortar shells and rockets into central Israel—literally hundreds of thousands of them. I got the app on my iPhone that lets Israelis know when a rocket attack has started in their area, and it went off constantly—one of the most startling and grating alarms you’ve ever heard.
At the time, I kept wondering what would happen if Mexican drug cartels began regularly blowing up school buses in downtown San Diego and lobbing mortar rounds into Newport Beach. How would the U.S. population react? Probably not very peacefully, I imagine.
So, yes, everyone should pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for ordinary Palestinians to be finally free of the brutal killers who speak for them and who make peace impossible. Pray for Israelis as well, who are regularly victimized by brutal terrorist attacks and the murder of innocent women and children.
The U.N. recently adopted eight resolutions condemning Israel for various alleged human rights violations, yet made no condemnation of other nations or groups, including Hamas.
This, after Hamas slaughtered nearly 1,500 innocent Israelis during a surprise attack on October 7.
And at a time of inexplicably rising anti-Semitism. This tells you all you need to know about the “world body.” It is nothing more than a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, said via press release: "The U.N.’s assault on Israel with a torrent of one-sided resolutions, just one month after the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and on the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, is surreal.”
And morally repugnant.
Neuer added, “The only purpose of these eight lopsided condemnations is to demonize the Jewish state. The world should not be deceived that these annual resolutions advance the cause of peace or human rights in any way.”
The U.N.’s Second Committee, which focuses on Economic and Financial issues, announced the passage of three such resolutions, including one demanding that Israel cease the “exploitation, damage, cause of loss or depletion and endangerment” in the Golan Heights region of Syria. Huh?
Unsurprisingly, Bashar al-Assad’s Syria drafted and co-sponsored the resolution, which passed with a vote of 151 in favor to six against. Only Israel, Canada, the Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and the United States opposed the measure. Eleven members abstained from voting.
Neuer called the Syrian-backed resolution "obscene," and stated that it is "astonishing" that the U.N. would support a call for "more people to be handed over" to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, which has killed "half a million of its own people."
Neuer noted that Assad’s forces have killed "more than 3,000 Palestinians" in their conflicts, prompting him to add of the resolution, "The text is morally galling and logically absurd.”
A lot more needs to be done to put these animals down. They are obviously in some kind of gang or cartel dynamic as a quasi state actor, same as the cartels, and fueled by their ill-gotten gains. The U.S. knows how to issue sanctions and seize assets of bad state actors and make them scream. We don't see too much of that going on as Joe Biden calls for a ceasefire or pause in order to allow Hamas to regroup.
It's an outrageously weak response, given the resources of the U.S. government. There shouldn't be any billionaires right now among the Hamas elite. They need to be running and hiding. Instead, they are rolling in the dough as their minions conduct anti-Semitic attacks and organize demonstrations.
These people are bin Laden, ISIS, and the cartels rolled into one. It's time to take out the trash.
Manipulating with Lies and Manufactured Sob Stories
As has been the case since the barbarous attack on Israel by Hamas aided by Palestinian civilians, international organizations have chosen by their silence to ally themselves with the butchers instead of condemning the 10/7 attack. Canary Mission, which tracks anti-Semitism (and these days it’s not untoward to equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism, because it comes from the same fetid font: hatred of Jews and the globalists’ anti-nationalism) notes the silence of those entities from whom we were led to expect more:
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, speaking as head of the WHO (World Health Organization); Amnesty, the International Red Cross, the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteur, Human Rights Watch, the EU Commission, Malala Yousafzai, chief of UN women.
Canary Mission is not alone in this observation.
Dr. Einat Walif:
In a better world, on October 8, the UN Secretary General, the head of the International Red Cross and other luminaries would have stationed themselves on the Egyptian border with Gaza demanding the full, immediate, and unconditional release of all the kidnapped hostages, insisting that Israel owes absolutely nothing to Hamas for the release of children, mothers, the elderly, and civilians because there is no world in which such acts are OK. Israel is forced to negotiate with the twisted leaders of Hamas for our children only because so many people in official and non-official positions of power failed to do their job and normalized the idea that kidnapping children from their beds and keeping them as bargaining chips is somehow a legitimate act that leads to negotiations rather than to stringent condemnation and global ostracism.
The "free press" can fairly be characterized as outright liars and enablers of Hamas. Hamas, as the world has long known, has used hospitals, mosques, schools, and ambulances in clear contravention of international law to store military weaponry, and hide and transport fighters. Israel claimed at the start something that everyone in Gaza -- including the UN personnel stationed there -- knew: Underneath the hospital was the Hamas operational headquarters and series of tunnels leading to and from the hospital. Major news outlets suggested strongly that Israel’s claim was a lie. After Israel took over the hospital and secured the underground, definitively proving how the hospital had been used by Hamas, including how it drained electricity and water from it to maintain its operations, how its terrorists took refuge there, and even transported hostages there. the lie had spread around the world. Why did the press do this disparage Israel?
Omri Ceren offers up as good an explanation as any:
Here's the thing about all those outlets that ran stories suggesting Israel lied about Hamas using Shifa Hospital as a military HQ:
1st, it was all of them.
2nd, it shows the incentives and disincentives that used to make journalism reliable have been nuked. They've been replaced by attaboys for whatever helps the home team win a couple of news cycles. The home team for them right now, weirdly but undeniably, is Hamas.
Incentives: Journalism wasn't designed so reporters could guide you towards truth. Mostly because they're bad at it, as the bulk of them don't know very much and the very best are still generalists. But also, because it becomes subtly corrosive in the way we saw during Trump, where they all convinced each other to print the same partisan line by telling each other it's the truth (which they'd be the last to know, because see above). Instead, journalism is supposed to be about facts and, more specifically, it's supposed to be a competitive industry where the incentives are about printing facts out before anyone else. "Scoops."
Which means that when you see them all printing the same thing, you can tell the incentive structure has broken down. [snip]
Disincentives: There was a time when having to print a correction was the most professionally mortifying thing imaginable. [snip] As journalism declined, and especially during Trump, they used all sorts of tricks with each other to take out the sting. Things that should have been "corrections" got downgraded to "editor's notes," and things that should have been "editor's notes" got downgraded to stealth edits. They had to, because they were simply making things up as they went along, and it wouldn't have worked otherwise. [snip]
For this Shifa Hospital news cycle, they ALL KNEW the Israelis would eventually publish evidence they were wrong. Everyone has known for a decade the hospital is a Hamas operation center. They did it anyway, because the stigma for being wrong is gone, as long as you're wrong for the right side.
Ceren is right, too, that journalists “don’t know very much.” Hussain-Abdul-Hussain, a Lebanese-Iraqi at the Foundation for the Defense of Freedom examines the ignorance of the Washington Post writers:
The @washingtonpost gauges Arab public opinion using voodoo reporting. As the Post imagines them, the Arabs have no debate or division between different views (like here in the US, older folks with Israel, younger people with Hamas). The imagined "Arab Street" is one monolithic bloc that is in consensus over the "Palestine cause." Did the Post ask itself what would happen to Arab dissenting voices who think that the "Palestine cause" is a lie behind which all corruption and terrorism hides? Did the Post ever seek out dissenting voices to try to see why they can't say their opinions out loud? Garbage samples: "The prevailing view throughout the Middle East is that while Israel is doing the fighting, this is an American war." And this: "In Arab nations, where solidarity with the Palestinian cause has endured for decades."
You rarely in the press see dissenting views even from Arabs outside the control of the authoritarian thugs who rule so many of these countries. Nor is much play given to the words and actions of Palestine’s neighbors, none of whom are willing to take refugees from there. Did you know that Egyptian president Abdel Fattah Al -Sisi made this proposal this week:
@EhabH91
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi proposed, "We are prepared to support the demilitarization of the Palestinian state, ensuring safeguards through NATO, UN, Arab, or American forces -- whichever is preferred.
This question should be directed to Hamas regarding whether they accept to stop the shedding of the blood of our people in Gaza.
Winner of the most stupid journalist of the week is Sky News presenter Kay Burley, who asked Eylon Levy, Israeli government spokesman, whether the fact that Israel had agreed to release 150 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for just 50 hostages showed that “Israel does not think that Palestinian lives are valued as highly as Israeli lives.” Levy explained that absurd question failed to acknowledge that this was the deal Hamas insisted upon, at which point the idiot presenter said the suggestion she had advanced was given her by an unnamed “hostage negotiator.”
As for the status of the exchange, Hamas released none of the American hostages -- 13 Israeli women and children, the women mostly aged and frail (indeed, Hamas had earlier reported one had died in captivity) and a number of Thais and a Filipino whose exchange had been negotiated separately with Iran by the government of Thailand. Not one American was released. Not one young woman. Not a nine-month-old baby, Other breaches by Hamas have occurred and more are likely. The deal required ICRC access to all the hostages to assess their health -- and whether they are even alive -- and this never happened. The IDF has surrounded the fighters in Northern Gaza and that was the line set by agreement. Hamas is trying to break this by encouraging young men in the south to come to the north (and probably by reprovisioning with stolen relief supplies).
Friday night in front of a loud cheering crowd on the West Bank a Palestinian mob bound two men by hands and feet upside down and blindfolded, claiming that they had communicated with Israel. The men were hung, one was dismembered, and their remains were ceremoniously thrown onto a garbage heap. It was all videotaped, certainly to intimidate every watcher. One of the men executed was Hamza Ahmed Hamza Mubarak, a 31-year-old Afro-Palestinian, a descendent of slaves brought there by Arabs whose descendants still suffer humiliation and discrimination.
As we go to press, Hamas is playing a delaying game by refusing to release the second batch of hostages -- remember these hostages include children and a nine-month-old baby. Israel has given them until 12 midnight on Saturday night to release them or the pause will be over and the attack resumed.
As Hamas delays, it and its allies are drumming up street mobs around the world, and posting ridiculously phony videos on social media, appealing to the credulous and partisan -- things like Hamas fighters wearing Israeli uniforms and bragging about stealing a necklace and demolishing a building, and more of the same Pallywood pictures of kids smeared with paint which they claim are the victims of “genocide.”
It’s time to wipe Hamas out, and follow the suggestion of Egypt’s president. These people can neither govern nor comply with the basic requirements of decency and international law, and they never will be able to.
Hamas and its supporters around the world are worse than Nazis
World War II historian Andrew Roberts has a powerful essay making an important point: Hamas is worse than the Nazis because the Nazis still had a sufficient moral compass to be embarrassed by their genocidal crimes, while Hamas and its supporters are loud and proud. And when I say supporters, I don’t just mean the Gazastanians, a huge majority of whom support both Hamas and the massacre of Israelis. I mean their collaborators in the West, too, with the execrable Greta Thunberg as Exhibit A.
Roberts writes that, while still lacking the wherewithal to kill six million Jews, Hamas and the whole panoply of antisemitic Jihadists are “qualitatively worse than the Nazis in their belief systems, impulses, and instincts.” The reason?
In October 1943 Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, delivered a notorious speech to 50 of his senior lieutenants in Posen. “I want to speak frankly to you about an extremely grave matter,” he said. “We can talk about it among ourselves, yet we will never speak of it in public. … I am referring to the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people. … It is a page of glory in our history that has never been written and is never to be written.”
By total contrast, the Hamas killers 80 years later attached GoPro cameras to their helmets so they could livestream their atrocities over social media. Although the Nazis burnt Jews alive in barns on their retreat in 1945, they did not film themselves doing it. There are plenty of photographs of Nazis standing around death-pits full of Jewish corpses, but these were taken for private delectation rather than public consumption.
When the Soviets approached Auschwitz, the Nazis did everything they could to hide their crimes, whether it was to empty the camps by taking prisoners on death marches or simply destroying the crematoria, which were the infrastructure of mass murder. Moreover, the reason for the gas chambers was that the ordinary German soldier was sickened by slaughtering civilians en masse, even the Jews he’d been taught to believe were subhuman.
Hamas’s fighters, on the other hand, recorded, broadcast, and celebrated their raping women to death, slaughtering babies, and torturing children before killing them. They are ecstatic with blood lust, as is the civilian population in Gaza. Look at these happy citizens filming two men who were lynched and later dismembered for allegedly collaborating with Israel. I can assure you there was no due process, not even the faux-formality of a “kangaroo court.”
Hamas also has a rape culture worse than anything the Nazis did. Historically, conquering militaries have always raped. However, the Nazis had as their official policy avoiding rape because of their obsession with racial purity. Yes, the prohibition was widely ignored, but nothing the Nazis did compares to Hamas:
But that is different from the Hamas leadership giving their men orders to rape as many Jewish women as they could find and film themselves doing it, and in all too many cases taking them hostage afterwards or killing them.
Meanwhile, Israeli troops do not rape because they are moral. Yes, there will be exceptions, but Hamas and the Gazastanians don’t even try to pretend that their women are at risk.
Hamas and its jihadist ilk are death cultists who are out, loud, and proud. And that means their followers around the world are, too. When they chant “Khaybar, Khaybar ya yahud,” they are calling for the massacre of all Jews:
And it’s not just Muslims. It’s also their fellow travelers on the left, with no one more perfectly exemplifying this than the anorexic Greta Thunberg, an uneducated neurotic teen who became the leader of the climate change movement. Of course, what’s hiding behind the movement is the dream of human extermination to retain the purity of a mindless planet for the benefit of a select few (Thunberg among them, of course).
While Greta can’t admit that she seeks humankind’s extermination, she openly calls for Jewish genocide:
And yes, Jewish genocide is the goal behind “crushing Zionism.” Hamas and the surrounding Muslim nations aren’t shy about their goal of deleting, with blood and finality, the “stain” of a Jewish presence on “their” land.
Clarity is a good thing, and we’re finally seeing the evil face behind the anodyne slogans. These are unabashedly murderous people. Whether they’re starting point is Islam or leftism, Jews are first in line for extermination, but the rest of us are on the chopping block, too.
