The Hamas terrorist organization is starving Palestinians in Gaza by stealing food that arrives in humanitarian aid shipments and then selling it on the black market, according to Zvika Klein, editor of the Jerusalem Post.

Those who cannot afford to pay the exorbitant prices are going hungry, he said — not for lack of aid deliveries, but because Hamas seizes the aid on entry and uses it to enrich itself and fund its ongoing war against Israel.

Klein’s account of the situation in Gaza corroborates anecdotal information from social media videos, showing people selling food supplies delivered through international humanitarian aid in marketplaces within Gaza.

In an op-ed, Klein explained:

“The food shortage and use of the word ‘hunger’ have been exaggerated,” a senior Israeli defense official told me on Thursday during a briefing. “There is no hunger in Gaza,” he said, explaining that most of the food that Israel has been sending into the Strip has “immediately been taken by Hamas terrorists, who then sell some of the supplies for ten times more than what it’s worth.”

…

A former senior Israeli defense official who I spoke to on condition of anonymity has also said that “there is no food shortage in Gaza; there are those who are hungry since Hamas has taken all of the food and they don’t have enough money to pay Hamas on the black market.”

According to this former official, the food does not reach those who need it most since Hamas controls approximately 70-80% of the area. What happens is that Israel and foreign countries bring food and aid into Gaza. Then gangs take the supplies at gunpoint, and a significant portion of the population is left unable to afford necessities.

Klein acknowledged that there is hunger in Gaza, but argued that it is being perpetuated by Hamas. Hamas’s strategy is to create suffering among the Palestinian people that triggers the world to isolate Israel and force it to end the war before it has destroyed the terrorist organization that launched the October 7 terror attacks.

On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that there is a “vicious cycle” increasing hunger in northern Gaza, in which international organizations and Israel that try to bring food into the area are attacked by residents, making it more difficult to bring food into the area, and increasing hunger. There are debates about how best to improve access to food and other aid.

President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address Thursday that the U.S. would build a port in Gaza to help with the delivery of aid, though he also claimed there would be no U.S. “boots on the ground,” creating doubt about how the project would be handled.

The U.S. and other countries have been using airdrops of aid, though these have no independent means of reaching the needy.

Israel has said that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which caters specifically to Palestinians, lacks the capacity to deliver aid and is compromised by its association with terrorism. But there is no alternative yet.

A hostage deal that would bring about a temporary pause in the fighting would help, but Hamas refuses to reach an agreement to release captive Israelis unless Israel leaves Gaza and ends the war.

Watch: Pro-Palestinian Activist Slashes Historic British Painting over Support for Israel

A radical pro-Palestinian activist defaced a historic British painting depicting Lord Arthur James Balfour at Cambridge University over his ties to the formal establishment of the Jewish state of Israel.

Police have launched an investigation after an activist from the militant ‘Palestine Action’ activist group destroyed a 1914 portrait of Lord Balfour at Trinity College of the University of Cambridge on Friday. The activist slashed the painting with a knife and threw red paint on it.

A spokeswoman for the Cambridgeshire Police told the BBC: “This afternoon we received an online report of criminal damage today to a painting at Trinity College, Cambridge.

“Officers are attending the scene to secure evidence and progress the investigation. No arrests have been made at this stage.”

A spokeswoman for Trinity College added: “Trinity College regrets the damage caused to a portrait of Arthur James Balfour during public opening hours. The police have been informed. Support is available for any member of the college community affected.”

The group Palestine Action took responsibility for the apparent act of vandalism, saying in a statement: “Palestine Action ruined a 1914 painting by Philip Alexius de László inside Trinity College, University of Cambridge of Lord Arthur James Balfour – the colonial administrator and signatory of the Balfour Declaration.”

“An activist slashed the homage and sprayed the artwork with red paint, symbolising the bloodshed of the Palestinian people since the Balfour Declaration was issued in 1917,” the group added.

The ‘Balfour Declaration’ marked the first instance of a major world power supporting the formal establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in their ancestral homeland, which at the time of the Balfour’s signing was under the control of the Ottoman Empire.

Although not a binding document, the Balfour Declaration has long been a point of contention for pro-Palestinian activists, as it laid the groundwork for the formal formation of Israel after the British took control of the region following the First World War.

The incident comes as the issues of the Middle East have taken centre stage in British politics and growing concerns of intimidation of UK politicians from Islamist and far-left forces, both of whom have been protesting on the streets of Britain nearly every week since the Hamas terror attacks on October 7th that left around 1,200 people in Israel dead and saw hundreds more taken captive.

The Government’s independent adviser on political violence and disruption, Lord Walney, said earlier this month that there has been an “unholy alliance” formed between the far left in the UK and Islamic extremists while urging parliamentarians not to cave to pressure from radical forces.

Responding to the destruction of the portrait of Lord Balfour on Friday, Walney said: “This is outrageous. We must not tolerate protestors thinking they can get away with senseless damage because they think the importance of the cause gives them the moral high ground to cause mayhem. A number of recent judicial rulings have been troubling in this regard.”

The Problem with Ramadan

By Gamaliel Isaac

The month of Ramadan, one of the most important holidays of Islam, starts on March 10 this year. Yair Pinto the director of operations of TBN Israel said in a video that:

According to the books of Islam, Ramadan is a month of introspection, cleansing of the soul, fasting and in general connecting men with their god. Muslims believe also that this is the month in which the Koran was sent down from heaven to guide the way to salvation. This is a month in which every Muslim in the world is supposed to multiply goodness and kindness and love. It is a month meant to teach us what modesty, humility, sensitivity to others, compassion and charity are.

If this is what Ramadan is, then one would think that it is an opportunity for peace and that Israel should agree to practically any ceasefire agreement to allow Islamic goodwill to grow and lead to the release of the hostages and an increased flow of aid to the civilians of Gaza.

Mr. Pinto also said that this year there is concern that there will be a flareup of violence along the seam lines between Arab and Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem and elsewhere. He said that for the last several years Ramadan has become a month of pogroms, riots, and attacks. He said that Palestinians are being incited by their leaders, who tell them that Israel plans to demolish the Al Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan. According to Israel's National Security Council, increasing incitement by jihad organizations such as Al Qaeda and the Islamic State make the likelihood of terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe during Ramadan higher as well.

Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant said at an Israeli Defense Force central command assessment on February 27, that Hamas is conspiring with Iran and Hezb’allah to seize upon Ramadan as an opportunity to enact the "second stage of Oct. 7," and "ignite the ground." If this is true than instead of agreeing to a ceasefire, Israel should finish off Hamas as quickly as possible so that they can’t enact stage 2.

President Biden said: "If we get into a circumstance where this continues through Ramadan... it could be very, very dangerous. So, we’re looking -- we’re trying hard for that ceasefire.''

There was a debate in the Israeli Knesset on March 4, 2024 about whether Israel should ease up on military pressure on the month of Ramadan. Yair Mor, brother of Eitan Mor, who was taken hostage to Gaza told the Knesset:

They talk to us about the easing restrictions for them, that we should reach some wanton deal before Ramadan. Why? Because it's a so-called holy holiday. So no, Ramadan is a holiday of murdering Jews. It's not a holy holiday. Who cares about their Ramadan? We care about our hostages. Because we care about the hostages, we should be increasing the military pressure, especially during Ramadan, so that they see not to mess with us."

If Yair Mor is right and Ramadan is a holiday of murdering Jews, then a ceasefire that postpones dismantling Hamas is likely to bring about a second stage of October 7.

To answer what the holiday of Ramadan really is it is helpful to look at the early history of Ramadan.

In the autumn of 623, during the month of Ramadan, a trade caravan was sent by the Quraysh people from Mecca to Syria. The caravan was led by Abu Sufyan, a leader of the Quraysh people and carried the investments of many of the Quraysh. On the way back from Syria the caravan reportedly consisted of 1,000 camels and 50,000 dinars worth of goods.

Muhammad and his followers made plans to attack the caravan. Abu Sufyan got wind of Muhammad's intention and sent a messenger to Mecca for help. A relief column, said to have been 1,000 strong, then set out to protect the caravan.

In the battle that ensued, the battle of Badr, the Muslims were fueled by Muhammad's promises of paradise. The Quraysh on the other hand were reluctant to kill their kin among the Muslims. The Muslims prevailed and slashed the Quraysh as they fled and managed to acquire booty and a number of hostages for ransom. Shortly after his victory over the Quraysh, Muhammad defeated the Qaynuqa, a Jewish tribe living in two fortresses in the southwest of the city of Medina and divided their wealth 4/5 to his followers and 1/5 to himself.

The battle of Badr took place on Ramadan. Throughout history, Muslims have taken advantage of Ramadan to wage war against their enemies. Five historic Islamic battles were fought in the month of Ramadan: the Battle of Badr, the Conquest of Mecca, the Battle of Tabuk, the Battle of Amin Jalut, and the Battle of Hattin.

Palestinians deliberately commit terror attacks during the month of Ramadan. In 2022, the Hamas website posted: "We welcome the blessed month of Ramadan, the month of jihad, martyrdom, and mighty victories."

We learn from this summary of Islamic history that even in the beginning of Islam, Ramadan was not a holiday of kindness and love. Muslims today look upon Muhammad as an example whom they should follow. In 1973, during Ramadan, the Muslim countries surrounding Israel, attacked Israel. This became known as the Yom Kippur war, because in addition to occurring during the month of Ramadan, it occurred during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. In fact, Yom Kippur was chosen as the day to attack because the Muslims knew that Jewish soldiers would be fasting that day and that many of them would be home and not ready to fight.

How could Muhammad, the founder of Islam, engage in war during Ramadan when the religion he taught preached love and kindness? How could Muslims who believe in what he preached start the Yom Kippur war during Ramadan? The reason is that it is only a month of love and kindness between Muslims, and not between Muslims and infidels. Yair Mor was right when he said Ramadan was a month of war. Instead of agreeing to a ceasefire Israel should finish off Hamas before it can carry out the second stage of October 7.

Anti-Semitism and the Quran

By Shari Goodman

Many Americans have been led to believe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a conflict over land when it is a religious conflict rooted in quranic doctrine; a doctrine consumed with Jew hatred throughout its numerous passages.

The formation of Islam began with Mohammad in 610 A.D. in the city of Mecca where he attempted to convince the local pagan population he was sent by God to be his messenger.  During his time in Mecca his messages were relatively peaceful as demonstrated in the following verses: 

"You cannot guide those you would like to but God guides those He wills.  He has the best knowledge of the guided." (Quran/28:56); "God does not forbid you from being good to those who have not fought you in the religion or driven you from your homes, or from being just towards them.  God loves those who are just." (Surat al-Mumtahana,8);

Nevertheless, his messages were received with resentment by a population of idol worshippers.  He and a few of his followers were driven out of town and forced to flee to Medina where he gained a following with the aid of the three residing Jewish tribes (the Qurayzah) who falsely assumed their financial aid given to him would protect them from the fate meted out to others. 

Mohammed’s attempts to mollify the Medina Jews resulted in a series of conciliatory passages that contradict the vast majority of Quranic references to Jews: “O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and that I made you excel the nations.” (Muslims try to explain away these through the Doctrine of Abrogation, which nullifies certain passages in the “perfect” Quran, something not required by either the Old or New Testaments.)

In fact, while in Medina, Mohammad and his followers were reported to have pillaged villages while raping and capturing the women to be used as sex slaves, and although the three Jewish tribes feared him, they continued to cling to their Judaism.  As a result, in 627, a mere five years after Muhammad arrived in Medina, he oversaw the beheading of approximately 900 Jewish men in the marketplace on trumped-up charges of conspiring with the enemy.  The captured Jewish women became sex slaves, and their children were taken into slavery.

Thus, it is worth noting, the refusal of Jews some 1400 years ago to accept Mohammad as a prophet has enshrined Islam with contempt and Jew hatred for all of eternity. The Quran stipulates that Jews were rebellious disbelievers to the teachings of Allah and that they sinned against him.  It can be found in the following passage:

"Those among the children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed.  That was because they disobeyed Allah and the Messengers and were transgressing beyond bounds." Quran 5:78-82

Throughout the Quran Jews are depicted as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the wellbeing of all Muslims.  

"They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims" (5:82) "They fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah" (2:79; 3:75, 3:181) "They disobey Allah and never observe his commands" (5:13) "Hiding the truth and misleading people" (3:78); "Staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance" (2:55); "Giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad" (2:87).

The most hostile passage can be found in the sayings of Mohammad referred to as the "Hadith."  In Bukhari Volume 4 Book 52, Number 176 Allah's Apostle said "You Muslims will fight the Jews till some of them hide behind stones. The stones will betray them saying 'Oh Abdullah (slave of Allah)!  There is a Jew hiding behind me; so, kill him."  This passage often cited by Jihadists in their quest to annihilate the Jews.

Christians too are negated for worshipping a false messiah, Jesus, "Quran (8:39) -- "And fight with them until there is no more fitnah (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah." But Jews are to be loathed and slaughtered.  They are referred to as apes and pigs, disbelievers, cowards, liars, and they are set up as a target who can run and hide but cannot avoid the sword of the Islamic warrior. 

While abhorrent to most Westerners, when viewed through the lens of Quranic doctrine, Hamas’ massacre of Jewish civilians is totally justified in the name of Allah.  When confronted with the barbaric passages, Muslims in the West will often point to the peaceful passage in the Quran ("There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256) arrived at during Mohammad's peaceful state in Medina.

Dr. Moorthy Muthuswamy, a nuclear physicist from India and author of Defeating Political Islam: The New Cold War stated: "The Islamic Doctrine consists of the Quran (14%) which stipulates that "there is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger," Sira, Mohammad's biography (26%) and the Hadith, traditions, (60%)  The two different Qurans, the Mecca Quran and the Medina Quran have been combined into one. About sixty one percent of the contents of the Quran are found to speak ill of the unbelievers or call for the violent conquest; at best only 2.6% of the verses of the Quran are noted to show goodwill toward humanity.  About 75% of Mohammad's biography (Sira) consists of jihad waged on unbelievers." 

When challenged by non-Muslims with the number of violent passages against Jews and Christians in the Quran, Muslims falsely claim the violent passages are only applicable in time of battle.  However, Quranic doctrine calls for a perpetual war with unbelievers until the entire globe is under the dominion of Allah.  Quran (9:29) -- "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." "People of the Book" refers to Christians and Jews. According to this verse, they are to be violently subjugated, with the sole justification being their religious status.  Verse 9:33 tells Muslims that Allah has instructed them to make Islam "superior over all other religions."  

The enormous amount of hate directed at Jews in the Quran and their depiction as sub-humans who deserve death is a threat to not only the Jewish state of Israel, but to Jews worldwide. Thousands are marching in the streets of New York, London, and Paris as shields for Hamas.  As Muslims now march in American and Australian streets shouting "gas the Jews," American Jews no longer feel safe in a country they helped build.

Global Female Genital Mutilation Cases Soar to 230+ Million

Cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) top 230 million worldwide and show no sign of slowing down, UNICEF said in a report released Friday, citing a dramatic increase of 15 percent since 2016 with most cases being reported in Africa.

FGM can include partial or total removal of the clitoris as well as the labia minora, and suturing of the vaginal opening to narrow it, in the incorrect belief the cut can control women’s sexuality and make them more likely to be obedient to religious and social restrictions.

The practice has been known to cause fatal bleeding or infections, and can also have long-term consequences such as fertility problems, childbirth complications, stillbirth and painful sexual intercourse, AFP reports.

“It is indeed bad news. This is a huge number, a number that is bigger than ever before,” said Claudia Coppa, lead author of the report released to coincide with International Women’s Day.

The AFP report sets out Africa is home to the most number of FGM cases with more than 144 million, ahead of Asia (80 million) and the Middle East (six million), according to the survey of 31 countries where the practice is common.

“We’re also seeing a worrying trend that more girls are subjected to the practice at younger ages, many before their fifth birthday,” UNICEF chief Catherine Russell said in a statement.

“That further reduces the window to intervene. We need to strengthen the efforts of ending this harmful practice.”

The report also showed that four in every 10 survivors live in conflict-torn countries with high population growth rates, claiming political instability disrupts efforts prevent the practice and provide support to victims.

“Ethiopia, Nigeria and Sudan account for the largest numbers of girls and women who have undergone female genital mutilation in conflict-affected countries,” the report said.

FGM is usually carried out on young girls between infancy and the age of 15, most commonly before puberty starts.

In 2012 the U.N. passed a resolution to ban it but for the most part the globalist organization has been ignored.
