Links - 13th January 2024 (1 - Hamas Attack Oct 2023)

Omar D. Foda 🇵🇸 on X - "You've got to understand in Arab culture murdering 8000 kids is very bad"
Richard Hanania on X - "You wouldn’t know it from how they react to every other conflict in the world that doesn’t involve Jews."

Meme - "Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzouk releases statement after Ahmed Barca, 11year old Palestinian boy was shot dead in Gaza by Hamas, while trying to access the aid.
"The aid that comes to Gaza must be distributed to the resistance fighters, and what remains, distribute it to the people. The attempt of some citizens to seize aid, as happened today in Rafah, will be fought with all force, and the people must offer what is expensive and what is cheap for the sake of the resistance, not steal the food""
Damn Zionists! Israel is so heartless!
Hamas openly proclaims that "aid" is basically supplies to enable it to continue its terrorism. But terrorism supporters will continue to gaslight everyone

Is Gaza Really the World’s ‘Largest Open Air Prison’? - "Even as America increasingly highlights humanitarian suffering in Gaza, planning for the “day after” there will require re-examination of past misconceptions, such as calling the Strip the world’s “largest open air prison.”  That moniker, often promoted in press accounts and pushed hard by the Qatari-owned pan-Arab network Al Jazeera, led to unprecedented foreign aid to the Palestinian territories. While Arabs in Syria, Yemen, Sudan, the Sahel, and other war-besieged territories were clamoring for outside help, Gaza received lopsided attention. “Suddenly we discovered that Gaza, which is inhabited by 2 million people, has 36 hospitals,” Hoda Jannat writes on his widely followed X Arab-language account. “There are Arab countries with 30 million citizens that do not have this number of hospitals.”   The writer notes that before the war, Israel supplied water, electricity, gas, and fuel to Gaza, while no other Arab country enjoys such outside aid. Gaza, he adds, was lavished with cash, including $30 million a month from Qatar, $120 million a month from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, $50 million a month from the European Union, and $30 million a month from America.  “There are Arab countries drowning in debt and cannot find anyone to help them even with one million dollars,” the writer notes. Contrary to widely held belief, he adds, Gaza was not besieged: goods came in, residents were traveling through Egypt to other countries, and outsiders came in.  “Suddenly we discovered that Gaza was living better than many Arab countries, and its people were living better than many Arab peoples,” Hoda Jannat concludes. A “programmed lie,” he argues, clouded people’s minds, pushed by “Muslim Brotherhood media” — a reference to Al Jazeera.   Global sympathy to what is known at the UN as “the occupied state of Palestine” and its Gaza component seems disproportionate to its needs. Suffering in the Strip is caused by poor management, graft, and — most blatantly — Hamas’s investment in war preparation, as opposed to the welfare of residents.   Late last week, in the last act of the UN Security Council for the year, a new bureaucracy was created to ensure that, as the war goes on and for the foreseeable future, aid to Gaza would pour in. At the same time, Gazans clamor to receive goods that already reach the Strip.  Hamas men often block access to aid deliveries, even shooting at crowds. In some cases, Gazans are maimed, and even killed. Hamas has the power to decide where aid is directed and who should receive it. Gazans increasingly complain that Hamas members “steal” food, medicine, and fuel intended for civilian use...   Unrwa was formed to assist Arab refugees from Israel’s 1948 war of independence. Unlike another UN agency, UNHCR, which tends to all world refugees, it is solely dedicated to Palestinians. In Gaza, it is the most lucrative enterprise and the largest employer.  Israel Defense Force troops in the Strip daily discover Hamas tunnels, missiles, arms, and rocket factories inside Unrwa facilities. The agency’s schools teach aggressive anti-Israel and anti-Jewish curricula. “Hamas has their hands on Unrwa administration workers, and it manages Unrwa,” an unidentified Gazan told an Israeli soldier in a phone conversation posted by the IDF. “The administration of the agency is Hamas.”   Several European countries, including Switzerland, have recently suspended aid to the UN organization. President Biden renewed American financial support to Unrwa after it had been cut off by President Trump."
Gaza needs more hospitals so Hamas and other militants can use them to launch attacks against Israel, then play the victim when Israel counter-attacks

Visegrád 24 on X - "The UNHCR needs 19,000 employees to take care of 29 million refugees worldwide UNRWA needs 30,000 employees to take care of 6 million Palestinian refugees Given the efficiency discrepancy, UNRWA should be dissolved, and the Palestinians should come under the care of the UNHCR"
No wonder the UNRWA supports terrorism

Dr. Eli David on X - "🚨 Breaking: Assisted by @UNRWA, Hamas terrorists again take control of aid trucks today before they reach civilians 👇 Civilians in Gaza are starving despite hundreds of aid trucks entering every day. Meanwhile most Hamas terrorists are obese."
Why would Israel seize aid meant for civilians?!

Meme - How it started: @selwan_i: "The event is great and scary, but by God, my happiness is limitless. Gaza - Palestine. 7.10.2023"
How it's going: @selwan_i: "I Lost everything ."

Olia on X - "Post from Amir Tsarfati:
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️
Did you know that in a flak jacket on a body of a Hamas terrorist we killed on October 7th we found a head of a baby he just beheaded that he wanted to take back home as a souvenir?
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️
Did you know that young Jewish men were found dead with their genitalia cut off and shoved inside their mouth?
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️
Did you know that a young Jewish girl was savagely raped and then the a gun was shoved into her genitalia and the bullet that was fired came out of her head?
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️
Did you know that In every home in Gaza we find either shafts that leads to terror tunnels, firearms and rockets and/or printed material about hating and killing Jews? Hamas isn’t in Gaza.
Hamas is Gaza!
Gaza isn’t hosting Hamas.
Gaza is Hamas!"

Are We Capable of Learning From the Murders of the Past? | Opinion - "it's not that the genocide of Jews is in any way worse, in any way more heinous than the genocides or slaughters of other peoples. They are all equally abhorrent. The outrage brought to the fore since Oct. 7 is that there are people, educated people, presumably fundamentally decent people, for whom the hatred of Jews that can lead—that has led—to the genocide of Jews is somehow less loathsome than the hatred of other peoples and groups.  I do not believe that the presidents of Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, or M.I.T., or of any other reputable American college or university for that matter, would have tolerated calls for any sort of violence, let alone genocide, against African Americans, or Muslims, or Asian Americans, or Latino immigrants, or women, or the LGBTQ community on their campuses even for a second. I do not believe that they would have hesitated to categorically repudiate any glorification of the Ku Klux Klan, even for a second."

Hamas Terrorists Have Genocide In Their Hearts. They Say So Themselves | Opinion - ""Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it," reads the Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement, more commonly known as the Hamas Covenant, adopted on Aug. 18, 1988. Replete with antisemitic tropes, the Covenant asserts as a premise that "Israel, Judaism, and Jews challenge Islam and the Moslem people." Quoting from the Quran, it warns "those who believe not, Ye shall be overcome, and thrown together into hell." The Charter makes abundantly clear that Hamas is determined not just to obliterate the State of Israel but to ravage and kill the Jews living there as it did on Oct. 7.  Hamas leaders have reiterated this non-negotiable intention repeatedly over the years. "Palestine is Islamic, and not an Islamic emirate, from the river to the sea, that unites the Palestinians," declared Khalil al-Hayya, a member of Hamas' politburo, in 2010. "Jews have no right in it, with the exception of those who lived on the land of Palestine before World War I." Two years later, Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, a co-founder of Hamas who was killed in 2004, reiterated the organization's genocidal goals. "By God," he said, "we will not leave one Jew in Palestine. We will fight them with all the strength we have. This is our land, not the Jews' ..."  This year marks the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Genocide Convention by the United Nations General Assembly. It defines the crime of genocide as any of a number of delineated acts (including murder) "committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such."  There can be no doubt whatsoever that Hamas intends to destroy–that is, kill or forcibly evict–virtually all if not all Jews living in the State of Israel. This falls four-square into the Convention's definition of genocide."

Dr. Eli David on X - "🚨 Breaking – Head of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh: “Israel's assassination of Saleh Arouri is an act of terrorism” You can't make this up 🤣🤣"

AG on X - "Getting upset over Israel taking out multiple senior terrorists responsible for countless innocent deaths and also wanted by the US is a pretty good way to confirm that your real complaint is not the way Israelis are defending themselves, but that they are doing so at all."
We're still told that no one is pro-Hamas

Joel Mowbray on X - "Take note of all the "Pro-Palestinian" accounts decrying IDF killing of Arouri & two other top Hamas leaders.
If you're against killing Hamas leaders, you are FOR:
 - Raping Israeli women.
 - Murdering Jews (& Christians, Muslims, etc)
 - Beheading babies
 - Slaughtering Jews"

Boris Johnson condemns the Met Police for investigating Israel over alleged war crimes in Gaza as he says the force's appeal for witnesses to the conflict indicates a 'worrying politicisation' of the force - "counter-terrorism police have put up posters in British airports telling travellers they can report crimes relating to events since the Hamas attacks of October 7 as part of an International Criminal Court probe... The posters explain that the Met – which has a war crimes team – is supporting a long-running investigation into Israel by the International Criminal Court in the Hague, which is looking into events since the Hamas attacks of October 7... It comes after the Met failed to arrest pro-Hamas demonstrators for glorifying terrorism on the streets of London. Two officers were also pictured removing posters calling for the release of Israeli hostages, while others stopped the Campaign Against Antisemitism displaying images of kidnapped children on an electronic billboard... Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, said: 'This poster campaign is utterly surreal. At a time when protesters are marching in London every week wearing Hamas-style headbands, shouting genocidal chants, calling for jihad against the Jewish state and inciting violent intifada with apparent impunity, the Met is concerned with acts of terrorism and allegations of war crimes halfway around the world, potentially even in contravention of the stated position of the British Government.'"
Laurence Fox on X - "The ⁦@metpoliceuk⁩ should be investigating the 30% increase in knife crime on our own streets instead of trying to get involved in foreign wars. No wonder crime in London is off the charts. Do your job."
When you let the left take over your institutions

Meme - Drew Paviou: "Just checking in on the "anti-racist" left and it seems they are calling for some kind of Jew registry"
@dakhterakhier: "This has become terrifyingly more clear to me with time. Like I said before, we need a green book."
saira rao @sairasameerarao: "Realizing how many American doctors and nurses are Zionists and genuinely terrified for Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, South Asian and Black patients - even more than usual. And usually it's bad."
JonoRose @SirJonoRose: "I'm all for encouraging them to boycott Jewish doctors, drug companies that originated or even do business in Israel, surgical procedures invented by Jewish doctors, medical devices invented in or even sold in Israel, etc. etc. etc."

Meme - "What's happening here is that Saira's business model of white guilt stricken ladies paying for struggle session dinners is running dry, so she's trying to test the waters to see if there's a market for "self hating Jewish doctors willing to pay for struggle session dinners"
Readers added context: "This is a classic antisemitic trope. Throughout history, Jews & Jewish doctors have been accused of intentionally doing harm or plotting to do harm to non-Jews (esp children & people in power). Israeli doctors provide care to Palestinians all the time. Even terrorists."

Meme - Marina Medvin @MarinaMedvin: "The most antisemitic psychopaths are coming out of the woodwork. But-- let's give her what she wants no medical care from any Jewish doctors. Dear Jewish Doctors, please take note she does not want you to treat her when she is ill."
Rupa Marya, MD @DrRupaMarya: "The presence of Zionism in US medicine should be examined as a structural impediment to health equity. Zionism is a supremacist, racist ideology and we see Zionist doctors justifying the genocide of Palestinians. How does their outlook/ position impact priorities in US medicine?"

Thribhu Chevva on X - "This is exactly what people were doing to the Muslim community post-9/11. Muslim Americans had to put big American flags in front of their homes or on their cars to prove they weren't the 'bad' Muslims. You're already starting to see similar narratives about 'good' Jews and 'bad' Jews."

False bomb threats to Jewish institutions are believed connected, originated from outside US, FBI says - "The false threats come just days after the end of Hanukkah and amid a spike of threats against the Jewish community documented since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza."
Clearly, this is not anti-Semitism but anti-Zionism because all Jews are responsible for what Israel does. But if you criticise Israel, that cannot possibly be anti-Semitism

Gaza is plagued by poverty, but Hamas has no shortage of cash. Where does it come from? - "The unemployment rate in Gaza is 47% and more than 80% of its population lives in poverty, according to the United Nations. Hamas, however, has funded an armed force of thousands equipped with rockets and drones and built a vast web of tunnels under Gaza. Estimates of its annual military budget range from $100 million to $350 million, according to Israeli and Palestinian sources... Hamas leaders have publicly acknowledged Iran’s ongoing financial and military support.   In an interview this month that appeared on Russia Today TV, senior Hamas official Ali Baraka said that “First and foremost, it is Iran that is giving us money and weapons.” Last year, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh told Al Jazeera that Iran paid $70 million to the group to support its defense plan."
Gaza is a poor concentration camp because of the Zionists!

Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 on X - "A Hamas leader was attempting to flee Gaza with suitcases full of cash. That’s US cash in there. You’re welcome, taxpayers."

BLM activist Shaun King's Instagram account blocked amid anti-Israel posts - "Controversial Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King — who had claimed he aided in the release of two US citizens that were kidnapped by Hamas and has accused Israel of genocide — had his Instagram account blocked... King has repeatedly bashed Israel for invading the Gaza Strip and shared Hamas propaganda videos claiming the hostages were being treated well. “The account was disabled due to multiple instances of praise for designated entities in violation of our policies,” a Meta spokesperson told The Post... King was accused of fabricating claims that he played a role in the release of two Americans who were freed from Hamas captivity.  The 44-year-old King appeared to take credit for the release of Natalie Raanan, 17, and her mother, Judith Tai Raanan, who were taken hostage and held captive by Hamas for nearly two weeks.  “First and foremost, we make it clear that he is lying! Our family does not and did not have anything to do with him, neither directly nor indirectly. Not to him and not to anything he claims to represent,” Raanan family members wrote in a statement.  Separately, King has come under fire for spending lavishly on homes and security despite his reputation as being a champion of the poor and disenfranchised. In 2021, King moved from a luxury two-bedroom apartment in downtown Brooklyn to a five-bedroom, 3,000-square-foot home in North Brunswick, NJ, according to public records.  King has been dogged for years by allegations of shady dealings in his charitable efforts in movements he has founded — including a lack of transparency in money he has raised for several criminal justice initiatives he has backed."
Peter Boghossian on X - "We've been warning Social Justice advocates that they should not advocate policies they wouldn't want applied to themselves. We have continuously reminded them that their views won't always be popular. That day is upon us."

Pro-Palestinian protesters out to cancel Christmas as they storm NYC again - "Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters converged on Midtown Monday, lugging a blood-red mock Nativity scene and chanting, “Christmas is canceled here.” “Long live the intifada,” the crowd of about 500 demonstrators yelled, using the Arabic word for “rebellion” or “uprising,” as they mobbed the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, where revelers were enjoying the holiday... A few scuffles broke out in the crowd after nightfall, including outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral, which sent cops running through the mob.  At least six arrests — four for disorderly conduct, one for menacing and one for graffiti — were later reported near Grand Central Station and Union Square, as protesters and cops clashed, according to law enforcement sources... It followed a pro-Palestinian car caravan that disrupted Christmas carolers at Washington Square Park Sunday night, blaring music to douse the holiday spirit in the neighborhood...   On Nov. 29, hundreds of demonstrators — at least one spotted carrying a swastika — stormed the Sixth Avenue building after police blocked them from Rockefeller Center during a well-organized “Flood the Tree Lighting for Gaza” protest... News Corp was labeled as a target for radical protesters in a disturbing map that claimed the company was one of several sites identified as “an enemy of both the Palestinian people and colonized people all over the world.”  That call came from Within Our Lifetime, a pro-Palestinian group."
The left are still pretending that the War on Christmas is a right wing lie

Chaya Raichik on X - "Remember when the @nytimes journalists lost their minds and a chief editor had to resign because they ran an op-ed by a sitting US Senator? Well now the New York Times is running opinion pieces written by Hamas. Are their journalists outraged? 🤔 NYT showing their true colors!"

Thread by @AGHamilton29 on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "If you want to understand how Hamas propaganda is created on here and spreads, let me show a perfect example.  21 year old Mia Schem was taken hostage by Hamas on 10/7. She had her arm blown off. She was released as part of the ceasefire exchange. While she was still in Hamas captivity, they had her film a hostage video in October.  Then, right before her release, they had her film another video under gunpoint where she said she was treated “very good” and people in Gaza were “very kind” to her. The main anti-Israel propaganda accounts on here then promoted that video for millions of views suggesting Hamas was treating the hostages very well. And then you had certain people with media platforms, like Briahna Joy Gray, use such propaganda to dismiss the possibility of rape andclaim that the hostages faced “humane treatment”. All of that leaves a lasting false impression. Then we get to now when she has had a chance to recover and is sharing the real story on how she was treated, which is the complete opposite of humane. Here Mia talks specifically about the video cited above by propagandists on here that Hamas made her record.  “Just before heading home, a Hamas terrorist with a camera confronts you and tells me, say that the people of Gaza are nice. Say kind things” Mia explains that she was treated like a zoo animal. She says that she believes the only reason that the man from the family who watched her 24/7 prior to being taken to the tunnels didn’t rape her was that his wife was always outside the door w the kids."

Marina Medvin 🇺🇸 on X - "Muslims are driving around New York waiving Palestinian flags as they call for “intifada,” as well as decorating their cars with upside-down red triangles and the phrase “long live the resistance.”  Intifada is a series of Palestinian terrorist suicide bombings and stabbings that killed well over a thousand people, including children. This is “the resistance” that they so proudly boast.  The upside down red triangle is a Hamas symbol used to designate their intended target — it’s an assassin’s target marking.  So all in all — the car is an all-out celebration of Palestinian terrorism. They’re calling for terrorism. In New York."

Andy Ngô 🏳️‍🌈 on X - ""May Allah burn the Jews and those who have allegiance towards them"  Ayman Alamari, an armed Muslim private security guard who works at @ShopGrapevine  in Grapevine, Texas recorded a video of himself cursing Jews. The translation has been verified."

katie smith on X - "NOW: Protestors set off red smoke bombs on the Brooklyn Bridge while chanting “Israel bombs, USA pays, how many kids did you kill today?”"
J.D. Haltigan, PhD 🏒👨‍💻 on X - ""A sizeable percentage of the revolutionary extremists I have dealt with have been clinically ill; and this is not my lay judgement, but is based on discussions I have had about them with university psychiatrists, and on the medical histories of some of them. In situations of social instability people who are themselves messed up psychologically can attain positions of great prestige and prominence." -- Searle, 1972"

Visegrád 24 on X - "BREAKING: Anti-Israel protesters physically attack the 2 Iranian former political prisoners and refugees @SalmanSima and @sadeghinoor. They also try to steal their Lion and Sun flag. The anti-Israel protesters side with the Islamist regime in Tehran."

Dr. Eli David on X - "Hamas terrorist: “I will not feel sorry for any Israeli child, and I will not regret even if it is a nursery full of kids.”"

Aviva Klompas on X - "The @nytimes is now just making shit up. This headline reads "Gaza Deaths Surpass Any Arab War Losses in 40 Years." One whole second of Googling found this: The UN Human Rights Office estimates more than 306,000 civilians were killed over 10 years in Syria conflict (2011-2021)."

Oli London on X - "Palestinian 🇵🇸flags flown from houses throughout an entire street in Leicester, England. Not a single British flag in site. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿"
Meme - Fr Calvin Robinson @calvinrobinson: "How do we resolve this? The UK has been captured by liberals who have invited the barbarians in. We have been conquered without a fight.

DITCH YOUR SMART PHONE @Garry44650280: "Imagine a row of houses displaying the Union Jack and the reaction 'Racist Street' would be plastered all over the press"

Taxi driver loses appeal to display Cross of St George - MP calls for change in flag policy - "John Brockhurst, a taxi driver and military veteran from near Market Drayton, was told to remove the flag, along with a Union Jack and regimental logo, from his hackney carriage back in October.  The decision, from Shropshire Council, was because the authority said it did not comply with the advertising policy that hackney carriages must not feature any "symbols, flags or emblems". It has now emerged that Mr Brockhurst, who runs Basil's Taxi, has lost an appeal against the decision.  North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan said she has now written to Shropshire Councillors asking them to change rules which ban the display of national flags – including the St George’s Cross and Union Jack – in taxis across the county.  The MP has pointed out that the council's own policy says the Union Jack should be flown "on a daily basis unless otherwise directed" at council buildings."
