Israel scorches UN Chief for Denying the Jewish State's Right to Self-Defense

Evil in a suit

It's logical to assume that if someone does not want a country to have the right to defend itself against genocidal attacks, that person does not want that country and its people to exist.

Israel's Foreign Ministry on Friday sharply criticized anti-Semitic UN Secretary-General António Guterres for his one-sided comments on the IDF's airstrikes in response to attacks by Yemen's Houthi terrorists.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein posted on X: 

"This is unbelievable. Just read the text of U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ statement. Can you think of a country that is conspicuously missing from the paragraph that describes the Houthis attacks? Mr. Secretary-General, why can’t you utter the word ‘Israel’ when it comes to terror attacks?

"Israel has been attacked hundreds of times by Houthi terrorists. Millions of Israelis are being terrorized by Houthis missile attacks every night. All of these attacks on Israel were unprovoked and carried out by terrorists operating 2,000 kilometers [1,250 miles] away from Israel. 

And yet, Secretary-General Guterres couldn’t bring himself to mention that the State of Israel and its citizens have been relentlessly attacked by the Houthis—and that Israel was acting in self-defense. What a disgrace."

Guterres, obviously no fan of Israel, has often criticized the Jewish State for its military actions against its adversaries in the last 15 months during a multi-front conflict, while he has mostly stayed quiet when Israel is attacked. He would rather they allow Arab nations to attack them and do nothing and just let the chips fall where they may.

Insanity.

"The Secretary-General is gravely concerned about intensified escalation in Yemen and Israel. Israeli air strikes today on Sanaa International Airport, the Red Sea ports and power stations in Yemen are especially alarming. The air strikes reportedly resulted in numerous casualties, including at least three killed and dozens more injured," according to the statement issued on Thursday by a spokesperson for Guterres, which Marmorstein was criticizing.

"Today’s airstrikes follow around a year of escalatory actions by the Houthis in the Red Sea and the region that threaten civilians, regional stability and freedom of maritime navigation. The Secretary-General emphasizes that international law—including humanitarian law, as applicable—must be respected at all times, and he appeals to all to respect and protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. Humanitarian relief personnel must not be targeted and must be respected and protected at all times," the statement continued.

"The Secretary-General remains deeply concerned about the risk of further escalation in the region and reiterates his call for all parties concerned to cease all military actions and exercise utmost restraint," it added.

Earlier on Thursday, the Israeli Air Force carried out multiple strikes on Yemen's western coast and deeper inland, including at Sanaa International Airport in the Houthi-controlled capital.

The operation was reportedly Israel's largest attack in Yemen since the Houthis began targeting Israel with munitions in "solidarity" with Palestinians in Gaza.

Houthi terrorists have fired over 200 missiles and 170 drones at Israel in support of Hamas since the terrorist invasion of the northwestern Negev on October 7, 2023.

The Yemeni terrorist group has stepped up its attacks recently, managing to hit Israel's densely populated central region.

Let's not pretend the UN is a legitimate body for peace, unless peace means Israel and the Jews no longer exists. This is a cancer on society and heaven forbid if the Arab states were successful eliminating the world's Jews, this would be a shameful, global tragedy that would have an impact that all would come to regret.

Man's throat slashed on NYC subway: Hochul boasts subway is safer

An unnamed suspect is in custody for slashing a New York City subway rider in the neck for no apparent reason. The victim was taken to the hospital and the identity of the suspect is being protected because everything is backwards in the world, at least until January 20th.

Meanwhile, NY Governor Kathy Hochul (D) has been bragging about how safe she has made the transit system. 

The unprovoked attack occurred around 1:25 a.m. when officers from Transit District 1 responded to the 50th Street Station in Manhattan and were looking for a male victim with a slash wound to the neck

It is not certain that the man seen arrested in the video on X is the perpetrator.

Social media lit up after the attack and mentioned how the Daniel Penny incident on the NY City subway system may have people reluctant about coming to the defense of others.

AOC I wanted Daniel Penny in jail. Here’s the effect of prosecuting people who engage in self-defense on behalf of another person, you have people who film and watch a woman getting set on fire in a New York subway, and do not intervene. pic.twitter.com/eJwHuvd2Mc

Anyway, the man was taken into custody early Monday morning after the attack aboard thee C Train as it was traveling north through Manhattan. 

The victim got off the train at 50th Street and was transported to Bellevue Hospital. The alleged attacker remained on the train until reaching 59th Street/Columbus Circle Station where he was apprehended and arrested. Charges are pending and the motive, while it appears unprovoked, remains unclear. It's possible the suspect was high on meth or just did it for the fun of it, because everything is backwards in the world and who knows, haters might cheer him on for something-something.

This latest incident [as of this posting] is a small part of a wave of subway violence gripping the city. 

On Christmas Eve, another man slashed two people in the Grand Central subway terminal. One victim, a 26-year-old woman stabbed in the neck, reported that police were absent during her attack and unsurprisingly, no bystanders called for help. That same week, a 56-year-old man was set on fire in New York Penn Station, and of course there was the woman who was set on fire while she slept in a subway car and died of her injuries while nobody, including a passing police officer, failed to come to her aid while Sebastian Zapeta, the illegal alien  who set her ablaze, fanned the flames with his coat.

But Hochul is more concerned fighting fossil fuels and bragging about how she has made the New York City Transit System clean and safe, although she never rides the subway herself, at least not without armed security.

France's 'Christian terrorist' is not Christian

A crazed stabber in France shouted "In the name of Jesus Christ" as he went about his nefarious business of indiscriminately stabbing people and claiming to be Christian. Finally, the Left had the Christian terrorist they were looking for and the Western media went full-bore into the story.

But . . . the media's narrative got destroyed.

A Frenchman, Henri d'Anselme, heroically intervened to stop an attacker's stabbing rampage. In a recent episode of the popular French podcast, Legend, d'Anselme explained that a magistrate informed him of the attacker's true identity. The magistrate stated, "The perpetrator was not a Christian but a Muslim who had previously served in Bashar al-Assad’s army in Syria and later with the Islamic State." 

The attacker had deceitfully claimed to be a Christian in order to secure asylum in Europe but his jihadi tendencies kicked in and he couldn't help himself.

Below is a rough translation of what d’Anselme says in this video, starting at 56:41. D’Anselme began by recounting his encounter with the attacker in mid-attack:

…so he shouts “in the name of Jesus Christ,” he starts to say, “My wife, my —” I don’t really know what, finally, I don’t remember very well, and I answer, “No, no, no, not Jesus Christ, you have nothing to do with Jesus,” just, in fact, I tell him NO, I shout that. “To me, you have nothing to do with Jesus Christ, you are the devil,” I said that “you are the devil,” and that’s what I said.

That was true enough, but the next day, d’Anselme woke up to find himself in the media crosshairs. They had found their Christian terrorist at last and were anxious to get the word from someone who had been on the scene. D’Anselme recounted:

The next morning, when I was asked, “But what do you think of a Christian who shouted ‘In the name of Jesus Christ?’” I told them then, “I don’t know if he is a Christian or not, it’s almost — don’t look at — what I know is that what he did is fundamentally anti-Christian. We can’t kill children, who are innocence and purity, especially in the name of Jesus Christ, who offered himself as a sacrifice for you. See, it’s not possible, it’s against everything, it’s against the whole Bible.”

This response, of course, made no impression on the media at all. Le Monde’s headline displayed their true fake news agenda: “Annecy knife attack: Suspect Abdelmessih H. is a Christian Syrian refugee who arrived from Sweden.” 

Henri d’Anselme, however, was later given additional information that wasn’t given to the media. He continued:

"We had answers to this question since then. Yes, yes, the guy’s file is known now. I met, moreover, the magistrate who had taken care of his file. He was a former member of Bashar al-Assad’s army, a deserter, affiliated with the Islamic State, who did stupid things with the Islamic State, who found after a while that it wasn’t very funny, who therefore wanted to ask for political asylum in Europe. But he was told that to be able to have political asylum in Europe, you have to be either an Eastern Christian or homosexual, declaring as an Eastern Christian or declaring as homosexual will make the process easier for you. Therefore, he declared himself an Eastern Christian, so in fact he faked his identity in Turkey, and in fact, after that, he began a relationship with a real Christian. Suddenly he rebuilt his life with her in Sweden, but after a while the girl realized the deception. They still had a kid together and so on, but he never went to mass…."

So here we see taqiyya in full swing. Say anything, any lie, as a way to further Islam.

Ancient Damascus Synagogue reopens with Assad gone

The Joba Synagogue in Damascus has been a pilgrimage site since before the time of the Talmud.

With the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, the few Jews still living in the country can once again visit an ancient synagogue that had been off-limits, for some anti-Semitic reason, since the Syrian civil war started thirteen years ago.

Bakhour Chamntoub, who is 74 and leads the nine remaining members of the Jewish community in Syria, spoke to the AP about this. He said, "This synagogue means a lot to us," describing its former beauty with its marble columns, chandeliers, tapestries, and carpets. The community was once tens of thousands strong before the creation of Israel in 1948, but it dwindled due to persecution by the Arab regime.
Israel, 

Chamntoub mentioned that he never faced antisemitic discrimination personally, although he was open about his Jewish identity, saying he was proud of it. Before the war in 2011, he and other elderly Jews would often visit the Joba Synagogue, which a marble slab at its gate declared was built "720 years before Christ," making it one of the oldest Jewish places of worship in the world.

Now, the synagogue is mostly in ruins, with only a few walls standing and all its beautiful decorations looted. There was heavy fighting in this area during the war, and according to a 2013 report by Diarna.org, it was largely destroyed that year. The neighborhood was under rebel control until 2018 when the regime forces retook it, but access was still restricted until now.

Despite their Jihadist philosophy, the new rulers of Syria aim to appear moderate to the West, promising to protect minorities and allow religious freedom. Chamntoub noted that Jews from around the world have been contacting him, wanting to help rebuild the synagogue.

The synagogue, also known as the Eliyahu Hanavi (Elijah the Prophet) Synagogue, is legendary for being built where Elijah anointed Elisha as his successor during the Kingdom of Israel's era, when its borders included parts of modern-day Syria. It's said that Elijah hid from King Ahab in a cave here, and the synagogue was built over that spot.

Diarna’s report mentions, “A marble headstone” in the main sanctuary with inscriptions in Hebrew, Arabic, and French, affirming this story. Historical records also suggest that Roman King Titus, who destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem, also razed this synagogue. It was reconstructed in the first century and is mentioned in the Babylonian Talmud, compiled around 500 AD. It was destroyed again in the 1500s but rebuilt, always serving as a pilgrimage site due to its connection to the prophet Elijah.

IDF in black op destroyed Iranian-backed lab in Syria

Back in late September, Israeli commandos raided and destroyed an Iranian-backed research facility and missile manufacturing site deep in Syrian territory. The mission happened before a major rebel offensive that eventually overthrew long-time Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad causing him to seek asylum in Russia, while his wife, Asfa, sought a divorce from the chinless dictator.

The targeted locations were the Syrian defense industry's Scientific Studies and Research Center (CERS), where Iranian scientists were working feverishly on ways to kill all the Jews on the globe, starting with Israel, and an Iranian-established missile facility for the same purpose and perhaps take the fight to the United States. 

According to a report from the Hebrew-language outlet Kan News, these sites were hit by the IDF in a secret operation.

The IDF had known about these sites for years but decided to act when intelligence showed that advanced equipment was being moved from Iran to the missile manufacturing facility. In other words, if the IDF didn't act swiftly, Israel would likely suffer a debilitating attack. 

The sites are located about 200 kilometers north of the Syrian-Israeli border, near the city of Maysaf where the top male baby name to make the list is Mohammed and coming in second place is Muhammed.

Initially, the IDF tried to attack the facilities with airstrikes because they were worried about sending troops so far into Syria. However, these air attacks didn't work well.

Concerned that the missile facility, controlled by the IRGC, could supply weapons to Hezbollah, Israel's defense establishment decided to proceed with a ground operation. They informed the U.S. beforehand that they were planning a quick raid on Syrian soil but President Biden didn't seem to know what was going on in a place called Syria.

Eva J. Koulouriotis, a Middle East researcher and expert on jihadi groups, tweeted in September that Israel was behind airstrikes that destroyed roads around CERS, making it hard for Syrian soldiers to defend the facility. That's a good thing.

Syria TV, a network linked to the Syrian opposition, reported that Israeli helicopters entered Syrian airspace early in the morning. The helicopters hovered above the target while special forces rappelled down to carry out a surprise attack just like in the movies.

According to Koulouriotis, the Israeli troops took important equipment and documents before setting explosives, which they later detonated to destroy the center.

No children were hurt in the operation as they were elsewhere with their toy rifles pretending to kill Jews and other non-believers, but especially Jews.

IDF sends dozens of armed Hamassholes to meet their virgins

The IDF announced on Monday that it had killed dozens more Hamas terrorists in Jabalya, just a day after claiming the terror group was almost eradicated from the northern Gaza region.

"Locating and killing the Hamas forces was made possible by a mix of ongoing intelligence collection, operations to trick the forces into an ambush, and both tank fire and soldiers' nearby gunfire," according to the military.

To date, the IDF has conducted operations in Jabalya in fall 2023, May of this year, and again in October of this year. By December 2023, the IDF had declared Jabalya under operational control and stated that Hamas's battalions were broken. After the May invasion, the IDF claimed to have destroyed 12 kilometers of Hamas tunnels and killed between 300-500 terrorists, significantly reducing Hamas's presence in the area.

After several weeks of operations starting in October, the IDF again declared Jabalya mostly cleared of terrorists. However, this claim was quickly contradicted when, on Friday and Sunday, the IDF reported that they had killed dozens more and arrested around 204 terrorists.

Despite these efforts, Monday's announcement raised questions about the accuracy of IDF's intelligence regarding the number of remaining Hamas fighters in areas like Jabalya. One reason could be the tactics used by Palestinian terrorists who often disguise themselves as unarmed civilians. Additionally, Hamas reportedly continues to recruit young Palestinians who have little else to occupy their time and have lost family or friends in the conflict.

The IDF also speculates that the recent rocket attacks from northern Gaza might indicate Hamas's attempt to deplete their remaining rocket stocks before further IDF actions, though they have not been able to completely halt the rocket fire from Gaza.

This ongoing presence of terrorists even after multiple operations suggests why, on Sunday, IDF sources were open about possibly extending the isolation of Jabalya from Gaza City if ordered. While both areas are in northern Gaza, Jabalya, along with Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya, constitute the northernmost part, which has seen a significant exodus of both terrorists and civilians since early October.

In early October, the IDF facilitated the evacuation of tens of thousands of Palestinians southward from these areas while engaging Hamas forces. Due to international backlash and having largely cleared the main Hamas strongholds, the IDF shifted to smaller, more targeted operations against remaining terror cells.

This situation occurs amidst discussions about "the General’s Plan," where some senior former IDF officials proposed clearing all of northern Gaza of Palestinians to pressure Hamas. Although Israel has denied adopting this plan, there are signs of it being partially implemented, especially in northern Gaza, while still permitting some Palestinians to stay in Gaza City.

However, on Friday, the IDF, working with the Shin Bet, deviated from this pattern by arresting over 240 terrorists in a strategic operation against Hamas's efforts to reorganize in northern Gaza, particularly around the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya.

Democrat to Republican switch due to "failure to support Israel"

Kennedy's blonde sister?

Florida State Representative Hillary Cassel, who represented the 101st district since 2022, issued a statement Friday saying that she is leaving the Democratic Party to join the Republican Party. A lawyer, Cassel is the second Democrat to jump ship this month.

In the statement, Cassel said the Democratic Party does not support Israel and she went on to blast their progressive anti-Semites for condoning terrorism.

“As a proud Jewish woman, I have been increasingly troubled by the Democratic Party’s failure to unequivocally support Israel and its willingness to tolerate extreme progressive voices that justify or condone acts of terrorism.”

“I’m constantly troubled by the inability of the current Democratic Party to relate to everyday Floridians. I can no longer remain in a party that doesn’t represent my values.”

The announcement comes on the heels of another defection by a Florida Democrat, who shows that you don't have to be Jewish to hate Jew haters.

On December 9th, State Rep. Susan Valdés switched her affiliation from Democrat to Republican, bolstering the GOP’s supermajority in the former battleground state’s House of Representatives.

Former President and now President-elect Donald Trump praised Cassel.

“Congratulations to Hillary Cassel for becoming the second State Representative from the Great State of Florida to switch her Party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, once more expanding the GOP Supermajority in the State House!” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social account Saturday.

“I would further like to invite other Disillusioned Democrats to switch Parties, and join us on this noble quest to Save our Country and, Make America Great Again – GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. THANK YOU HILLARY!”

It's electric.

Rocket Man vows toughest anti-US policy before Trump is sworn in

North Korean dictator for life, Kim Jong Un, has promised the "toughest" anti-U.S. policy that he is implementing just prior to President-elect Donald Trump taking office.

Although Trump met with Kim three times during his first presidency, it's likely he will be more involved with the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, and Kim's support for Russia in the latter war will be a huge challenge for Trump when trying to rekindle diplomatic relationships.

The ruling Worker's Party held a five-day meeting that ended Friday in which Kim referred to the U.S. as “the most reactionary state that regards anti-communism as its invariable state policy.” Kim [aka Rocket Man] said that the U.S.-South Korea-Japan security partnership is expanding into “a nuclear military bloc for aggression."

“This reality clearly shows to which direction we should advance and what we should do and how,” the chubby ruler said, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The KCNA said Kim's speech “clarified the strategy for the toughest anti-U.S. counteraction to be launched aggressively” by North Korea for its long-term national interests and security.

KCNA didn't go into detail about the anti-U.S. strategy. However, it mentioned that Kim outlined tasks to enhance military capability through advances in defense technology and emphasized the importance of strengthening the mental resilience of North Korean soldiers.

The previous meetings between Trump and Kim not only ended their exchanges of heated words and threats of destruction but also built personal connections. Trump once famously said he and Kim “fell in love.” However, their discussions fell apart in 2019, as they disagreed over U.S.-led sanctions on North Korea.

Since then, North Korea has ramped up its weapons testing to create more dependable nuclear missiles aimed at the U.S. and its allies. In response, the U.S. and South Korea have broadened their joint military exercises, including trilateral drills with Japan, which North Korea sees as rehearsals for an invasion.

Efforts to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for economic and political benefits are further complicated by its growing military ties with Russia.

According to reports from the U.S., Ukraine, and South Korea, North Korea has sent over 10,000 troops and conventional weapons to aid Moscow’s conflict with Ukraine. There's a worry that Russia might provide North Korea with advanced weapons technology in return, helping them to build more potent nuclear missiles.

Ukrainian President-dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated last week that 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or injured in the fighting in Russia's Kursk region. This was the first notable estimate by Ukraine of North Korean losses since their deployment to Russia started in October.

Russia and China, each facing their own conflicts with the U.S., have consistently blocked U.S.-led attempts to impose additional U.N. sanctions on North Korea, despite its ongoing missile tests which violate U.N. Security Council resolutions.

Last month, Kim remarked that his previous negotiations with the United States only reinforced Washington’s “unchangeable” hostility towards his nation, and he described his nuclear expansion as the sole defense against external threats.

IDF evacuate and burn down hospital used as a "Hamas terrorist stronghold"

The FAFO ambulance waved at by Gazan terrorist

On Friday, Israeli soldiers evacuated patients and staff from a hospital in northern Gaza and set part of the facility on fire, explaining that it had been used as a "Hamas terrorist stronghold" throughout the conflict.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the evacuation was conducted on Friday afternoon during an operation in the area of Kamal Adwan Hospital. The IDF troops "facilitated the secure evacuation of civilians, patients and medical personnel" before starting the operation.

"We will continue to make extensive efforts for patients to continue receiving care in other hospitals by facilitating the evacuation of patients from the Kamal Adwan Hospital, the ongoing transfer of supplies, food, and fuel to the area, and the restoration of operations of hospitals in the area, while maintaining ongoing communication with hospital officials," the statement reads.

Since their last "targeted operation" in October 2024, the IDF said the hospital "has once again become a key stronghold for terrorist organizations and continues to be used as a hideout for terrorist operatives" despite "repeated calls by the IDF to refrain from exploiting the hospital for military activities."

The IDF said only one building was set on fire, but representatives from the Gaza Health Ministry stated using taqiyya (google it) that multiple critical departments were burned after workers and patients were forcibly removed, according to The Associated Press.

The IDF argues that the evacuation was necessary due to "prior intelligence regarding the presence of terrorist infrastructure and operatives."

Before this operation, an Israeli official mentioned that patients would be moved to the nearby Indonesian hospital, where the food is much better and which had been cleared by the military a few days earlier.

In November 2023, the Israeli forces reported killing five Hamassholes during a raid on Al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza's largest, alleging it was used by the terror group for military purposes. Israel had warned Gaza authorities the day before to halt military activities, which they did not.

A previous video from the IDF showed captured Hamasshole members admitting to using hospitals for refuge and ambulances for "anything important," like moving commanders. One terrorist indicated that Al-Shifa Hospital was used by militants to hide in the basement and named Yahya Sinwar, a Hamas leader and the architect of the October 7 attacks, as being present, according to The Washington Post.

IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari released audio of an intercepted call last year where a Gazan and a Hamas member discussed using ambulances for militant activities, leading Hagari to state that Hamas "exploits ambulances, hospitals, clinics, mosques and schools for terrorist purposes."

Additionally, IDF troops last year uncovered hidden networks, including weapons, operational plans, and tunnel entrances near childcare facilities after a prolonged firefight in an area controlled by Hamas.

The IDF has long claimed that Hamas uses tunnels beneath civilian areas for covert movements.

Meanwhile, missile sirens went off in several Israeli areas overnight Friday due to a projectile from Yemen's Houthi rebels, which was intercepted. Following Israeli strikes on Yemen's infrastructure, the Houthis pledged to continue attacks until Israel agrees to a ceasefire.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, controlled by Hamas, the conflict has resulted in over 45,400 deaths, including both fighters and civilians.

The war intensified after Hamas' attack on October 7, 2023, which killed around 1,200, mostly civilians, in Israel. Hamas took about 240 hostages, with nearly 100 still held. Israel's military response aims to free these hostages and dismantle Hamas, which has governed Gaza since 2007 and is designated a terrorist group by the United States.

Biden still thinks--to the level possible for him--that he would have beaten Trump if he ran in the 2024 election

Alleged President Joe Biden mumbled that he's sorry he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race last summer after his clusterfrack (sic) debate against Donald Trump. 

Biden, who some still believe is alive, recently said that he thinks he could have beaten Trump this past November, once again proving his mental status is on par with broccoli. He obviously forgot about his debate performance like his statement that "We finally beat Medicare," or his incoherent sentences where he said such things as, "[S]ince, I've changed the law, what's happened? I've changed it in a way that now, you're in a situation where there are 40 percent fewer people coming across the border illegally, it's better than when [Trump] left office." What the heck does that mean English-wise?

He also spoke in a voice that sounded a lot like it came from a crypt with his mush-mouthed mutterings and his throat clearings that sounded like he swallowed a bag of mucous. 

Then he called the Paris Climate Accord the "Paris Peace Accords." Perhaps he thought the Vietnam War just ended recently.

It was this debate that sank Biden, there's no doubt about it, but his Party and his media hid it away up until this point when they could no longer hide his dementia. And still he remains in office with the "first black/Indian woman Vice President refusing to use the 25th Amendment to remove him from the nuclear football.

Following the June 27 debate, more and more Democrats began to call for him to drop out every day, so another person could run in his place, so he did and the Democrats put in Kamala Harris, who didn't have to go through the primary process and received no votes for her nomination.

Biden left the race on July 21, and endorsed Harris, who his wife, Doctor Jill Biden, despised.

Trump beat Harris by 2.2 million votes and won the popular vote--the last time a Republican accomplished that feat was in 2004 when George W. Bush won with 50.7% of the popular vote against John "Hair Plugs" Kerry's 48.3% of the votes.

Now we can sit back and hope that in the next presidential election, the Democrats will once again pick another loser to run against J.D. Vance, or whoever gets the tap on the shoulder. I would pick Alexandria Obviously-Commie if I were them.

Israel detains Gaza Hospital medics: search for hostages and terrorists

Israeli forces detained dozens of medical staff from a north Gaza hospital they raided on Friday, according to the enclave's Health Ministry.

"Israeli forces detained dozens of medical staff from a north Gaza hospital they raided on Friday, the enclave's Health Ministry said."

Israel has long said that Hamassholes are hiding among the most vulnerable, including in children's schools and hospitals, using these locations as shields where they can accuse Israel of targeting civilians during operations aimed at finding hostages and eliminating terrorists.

"Israel has long contended Hamas terrorists are hiding among the most vulnerable, including children's schools and hospitals, seeking refuge in places where they can blame Israel for attacks seeking to find detained hostages and root out terrorists."

The Israeli military raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, ordering the evacuation of dozens of patients and hundreds of others, and detained medical staff, including the hospital's director, Hussam Abu Safiya:

"The Israeli military raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya on Friday, ordering dozens of patients and hundreds of others to evacuate and detaining medical staff including the facility's director, Hussam Abu Safiya."

The Health Ministry expressed concern over the well-being of Abu Safiya. "The Health Ministry said it was not clear what was happening to Abu Safiya, adding it was concerned about his well-being after some of the staff freed by the army late Friday reported that he was beaten up by soldiers."

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the detainees.

The raid put the last major health facility in north Gaza out of service, according to the World Health Organisation's post on X:

"The raid on the hospital, one of three medical facilities on the northern edge of Gaza, put the last major health facility in north Gaza out of service, the World Health Organisation said in a post on X."
Some patients were moved to the Indonesian Hospital, which is not operational, while others were taken to a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip. Some freed staff members reached the Al-Ahly Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City.

The Israeli military stated that, "The Israeli military said on Friday that Hamas fighters had operated from Kamal Adwan Hospital throughout the 15-month-old war and had made the site a key stronghold."

However, Hamas, as usual, denied these claims.  "Hamas dismissed this as 'lies,' saying there were no fighters in the hospital."

The Gaza Health Ministry reported 18 Palestinian deaths from Israeli strikes on Saturday, with nine in Maghazi camp. "The Gaza Health Ministry also said Israeli strikes across the enclave killed 18 Palestinians on Saturday, at least nine of them in a house in Maghazi camp in central Gaza Strip."

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced operations in Beit Hanoun.

"The Israeli military said on Saturday it had begun operating overnight against targets in the Beit Hanoun area in northern Gaza.

"Troops are enabling civilians still in the area to move away for their own safety," they added.

In recent months, the IDF have been pushing people out and demolishing areas around Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahiya, leading to accusations from Palestinians of ethnic cleansing to establish a buffer zone. 

Israel countered these claims, "Palestinians have accused Israel of carrying out ethnic cleansing by depopulating those areas to create a buffer zone. Israel denies it is doing this, saying it aims to prevent Hamas fighters from regrouping in these areas."

Court rules that GA lawmakers can subpoena Fani Willis for information related to Trump case

A Georgia judge has ruled that state lawmakers can subpoena Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as part of an inquiry regarding whether she engaged in misconduct during her prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump.

In his Dec. 23 order, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram gave Willis until Jan. 13 to file a list of claimed privileges and objections to anything that has been subpoenaed.

Willis plans to appeal the decision. "We believe the ruling is wrong and will appeal," former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes, who is representing Willis in the case, wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

Earlier this month, an appeals court removed Willis from the Georgia election interference case against Trump and others, citing an "appearance of impropriety." The panel also cited the romantic relationship between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

"This is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings," the court said.

At the time, Trump called the case a "disgrace to justice." "It was started by the Biden DOJ as an attack on his political opponent, Donald Trump," he said, "They used anyone and anybody, and she has been disqualified, and her boyfriend has been disqualified, and they stole funds and went on trips."

In August, the Republican-led Senate committee sent subpoenas to Willis seeking to compel her to testify in September. She skipped a hearing that month when lawmakers hoped to question her.

The committee was formed to examine misconduct allegations against Willis during her prosecution of Trump over efforts to overturn the former president’s 2020 election loss in Georgia.

Barnes, Willis’ attorney, argued the subpoenas were overly broad and not related to a legitimate legislative need and that the Senate committee didn't have the power to subpoena her in the first place.

One issue raised is that the Georgia legislative term will end when lawmakers are sworn in for their new term on Jan. 13. Republican state Sen. Greg Dolezal said last week that he plans to file legislation to re-establish the committee at the beginning of the 2025 legislative session.

"The law is clear, and the ruling confirms what we knew all along," Dolezal wrote in a text Friday. "Judge Ingram rejected every argument made by Willis in her attempt to dodge providing testimony to the committee under oath. I look forward to D.A. Willis honoring the subpoena and providing documents and testimony to our committee."

Bashar Assad's family arrested trying to fly out of Lebanon

If you're a member of Bashar Assad's family, even extended family, don't plan on going far. The wife and daughter of one of his cousins were arrested Friday at the Beirut airport as they tried to flee the country with forged [allegedly] passports, Lebanese judicial and security brass said. Assad's uncle, however, was able to get out of Dodge the previous day.

Rasha Khazem, who is married to Duraid Assad — the son of former Syrian Vice President Rifaat Assad, who is also the uncle of Bashar Assad — along with their daughter, Shams, were smuggled into Lebanon illegally. They were attempting to catch a flight to Egypt when they were caught, according to five Lebanese officials who know about the situation. They were then detained by Lebanese General Security. The officials noted that Rifaat Assad had left the country the day before using his real passport and wasn't stopped.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly and might be killed in an extraordinary way if they revealed their identities.

Rifaat Assad was indicted in March, charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity for allegedly ordering the murder and torture of Syrians four decades ago. Rifaat is the brother of Bashar's father, Hafez Assad, the former ruler of Syria. Rifaat led the artillery unit that shelled the Syrian city of Hama which killed thousands of his own country's people, earning him the nickname the "Butcher of Hama."

Jimmy Prince [RIP] the Butcher of Coney Island

Earlier this year, Rifaat Assad was indicted in Switzerland for war crimes and crimes against humanity in connection with Hama making his future look bleak and job opportunities hopeless.

Tens of thousands of Syrians are believed to have entered Lebanon illegally on the night of Assad’s fall earlier this month, when insurgent forces entered Damascus.

Illegal alien who 'allegedly' immolated woman on NYC subway indicted

Illegal alien Sebastian Zapeta, 33, is accused of setting a woman on fire, killing her as he fanned the flames with his coat, has been indicted by a grand jury, which in New York, may be considered surprising since the woman was white.

The woman's name has not been confirmed by the NYPD but it was posted on X that her name is alleged to be Amelia Carter.

The horrific attack occurred on Sunday and people in the vicinity, including a police officer--I've been told--did nothing but look on to watch.

Zapeta was charged with murder and arson on Monday and the indictment was returned Friday.

Charges are issued when a prosecutor formally accuses someone of a crime, but an indictment happens when a grand jury decides there's enough evidence, presented by the prosecutor, to charge someone.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced to reporters that the indictment against Zapeta will be made public on January 7. If Zapeta is found guilty on the most serious charge, he could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.

"This was a malicious deed. A sleeping, vulnerable woman on our subway system," Gonzalez stated, as reported by the Associated Press.

The incident took place on a Sunday where Zapeta was seen on video surveillance watching an unidentified woman stand in a subway car while she was burning. The video also captured other passengers, including a police officer, passing by without intervening.

Investigators have stated that Zapeta and the woman had no prior relationship or interaction before Zapeta allegedly lit a lighter and threw it at her. She was a stranger, a victim of our empty-suited leaders who do nothing about our nation's sovereignty, 

“The suspect used what we believe to be a lighter to ignite the victim’s clothing, which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Sunday at a press conference on CBS.

Finally, officers and a transit worker grabbed a fire extinguisher and attempted to save the woman, but she died on the scene, CBS reported.

“Unbeknownst to the officers who responded, the suspect had stayed on the scene and was seated on a bench on the platform just outside the train car, and the body worn cameras on the responding officers produced a very clear, detailed look at the killer,” Tisch said on Sunday. “Three high school age New Yorkers called 911 to say that they recognize the suspect. They saw something and they said something, and they did something.”

Big effing deal. At least the kids did something but no bystander had the guts to help her.

Zapeta, an obvious piece of human waste, reportedly entered the U.S. illegally in 2018 during the first Trump administration. He was deported within days but then re-entered the U.S. again and traveled to New York where he was living in a migrant shelter.

The New York Post reported that it is unknown how long he had been in New York, but law enforcement sources told the outlet that the man stayed at multiple taxpayer-funded migrant shelters around New York City. Those same sources told the Post that the suspect’s previous criminal history is “largely clean” except for entering the country illegally.

Again, big effing deal. Just because his previous record is "largely clean," suggesting that it wasn't "squeaky clean," doesn't mean it was okay for him to be in the country living off of taxpayer money. And the "largely clean" no longer seems to apply.

We elected Donald Trump to fix this problem among the many others the Biden administration has created. Let's hope he can do it--we know he will try his level best.

Hamas refuses to release hostage list until truce begins

If all the hostages Hamas kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023 are dead, I believe every Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian leader, and anyone involved in the massacre and kidnapping on that day, should receive the same fate. Anti-Zionist terrorist groups need to be destroyed to the point of total impotency where they cannot rise up again in our lifetime.

A spokes-terrorist for Hamas gave Israel a partial list of hostages Wednesday, but claims to be unable to get information on all hostages due to the war. A full list of those kidnapped and held in Gaza will be provided only after a ceasefire is agreed upon [as if Israel hasn't attempted to initiate one--Hamas always rejects them all].

In an interview with the London-based, Qatari-owned news outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, a senior Hamas official, who wasn't named due to his fear of being killed, responded to accusations from Israel. Israel claimed that Hamas has been unwilling to give a detailed list of the remaining captives and their conditions.

The official stated to the news agency that Hamas has already shared all the information they have about the hostages their operatives are holding. However, he noted that information about captives held by other groups, like Palestinian Islamic Jihad, is hard to come by because of the ongoing conflict.

Regarding claims that Mohammed Sinwar, brother of Yahya Sinwar, who leads Hamas's military wing after Yahya was killed by the IDF, has withheld details about the Israeli captives, the official explained that it's "impossible" to collect all the requested information while the "situation" in Gaza persists.

The official also mentioned that Hamas has been in discussions with other terror groups in Gaza, but a full hostage list can't be compiled until a ceasefire agreement is both reached and implemented.

This week, Israel's negotiation team left Doha, Qatar, without making progress in talks with Hamas, as is always the case with Hamassholes.

According to the Hamas official quoted in Wednesday's report, one major issue still blocking the talks is the release of "high-profile" jailed terrorists. Hamas wants Israel to free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, including some notorious figures convicted of murder, in exchange for Israeli hostages. Israel has complied in the past, but it seems a fool's errand to give them what they want while they are getting their collectives asses kicked by Israeli military. I believe they're stalling because most of the Israeli hostages are dead--I hope to heaven I am wrong.

Israel has so far declined to release key terrorist scumcrumpets like Marwan Barghouti, a prominent leader from the Second Intifada, along with Hassan Salameh, Ahmad Sa’adat, Abbas al-Sayed, and others that Hamas has demanded be freed. 

It's time for Israel to make demands, not the losers.

Anti-Semite leaders at U. of Michigan get the boot

A pair of student leaders at the University of Michigan have been given their walking papers on Tuesday after they tried to force the school to freeze all funding with Israel. The anti-Semitism in the West has risen to the surface like a gas bubble in a bathtub but something was finally done about it in this case.

President Alifa Chowdhury and Vice President Elias Atkinson were impeached following a marathon hearing that lasted 20 hours and spanned seven days.

The Jew-hating duo arose to power last spring from their “Shut It Down” platform and made good on their promise to freeze $1.3 million in student funding until Michigan cut ties with companies linked to Israel.

Their ploy to hurt Israel economically with campus protests left campus groups scrambling to make it to their events: blue- and pink-haired gender confused students couldn't make it to their Underwater Lesbian Mermaid Mythology class; Taylor Swift Studies majors were late arriving for their intense lessons; and Practical Marx in Practice studies were canceled. 

By October, the university was done with these idiots. Administrators adopted a hands-off approach to political issues outside campus operations, and the student government restored funding.

However, at this point the damage was done. Even students who backed Chowdhury and Atkinson’s stance thought they had gone too far.

“They look like extremists,” Tiya Berry, an Arab American assembly member who couldn’t stomach their methods, told former newspaper The New York Times.

Margaret Peterman, a sophomore member of the student assembly who led the impeachment motion, said that Chowdhury encouraged verbal attacks and threatening language, as she recalled an incident where an assembly member was spat on by a protester.

“There is a line between free speech and hate speech, between engaging in your rights as a student and as an American to disagree as vehemently as you might want to, and crossing that line into threatening someone,” Peterman said. It's also a clear line whereby one's right to free speech is assaulted by protesters who refuse to allow it to take place.

The University of Michigan has been a hotbed for anti-Semitism following the massacre by Hamas and other terrorist groups along with Palestinian civilians against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 where these terrorists invaded Israel, killed, tortured, and raped over 1,200 men, women and children, almost all civilians, and then blamed it on the Jewish State for existing.

In June, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights launched an investigation that revealed the school’s failure to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, identifying 75 harassment complaints against Jewish students that the university largely ignored.

The University of Michigan receives a ton of federal funding annually for its research and other programs. According to recent data, in fiscal year 2023, the university reported over $1 billion in federally sponsored research expenditures, which accounted for 56% of its total research volume. 

Maybe it's time for the incoming government to reconsider how they spend taxpayer money.

No longer should any school, at any level, tolerate chants about "Nazi liberation" or anti-Semitic behavior, like the case of a 19-year-old student who was thrown to the ground, spat upon and kicked while he was down.

It's time for decent Americans to kick back and stop this jackboot behavior--we're supposed to be better than that.

Biden pardoned the worst scumcrumpets in the nation: here are a few of the worst

We don't actually know who spared the worst scum in the country from their death sentence under the name of Joe Biden, but we know that our alleged President doesn't have the mental capacity to make the call. Was it Obama or Jill? We don't know, but we know old Joe would rather cut farts on a beach somewhere, than put his brain in gear.

Two days before Christmas, the Biden administration gave the gift of sentence commutations to a couple of child killers and mass murderers. He pretended that he is against the death penalty but he didn't commute the sentences of three inmates on death row. See, you can't be against the death sentence if you still allow a person [in this case three people] to keep their sentences in effect. It was obviously done for political reasons or perhaps to flip off President-elect Donald Trump, or both.

In a surprising mindless act of clemency on Monday morning, Biden took steps to "ensure a fair and effective justice system" by commuting the death sentences of 37 out of the 40 inmates on federal death row. Among those whose lives were spared, at least five had killed children, nine were considered too dangerous to live after killing other inmates, and several had committed mass murders.

The individuals granted clemency include Thomas Sanders, a scumcrumpet who committed heinous acts on September 8, 2010. He kidnapped, shot multiple times, and slit the throat of 12-year-old Lexis Roberts in Louisiana. But first, before killing the child, this evil piece of human excrement murdered her mother during a road trip near the Grand Canyon. Sanders then callously left the child's body in the woods where it was later discovered by a hunter. Forensic reports revealed that Sanders used such force when slitting Lexis's throat that the knife left marks on her cervical vertebra. 

But let's not forget, Biden and his Democratic colleagues are willing to kill babies in the womb and even some who escaped only to be murdered outside the womb, as long as they're kept comfortable before their death sentence.

Christmas came early for serial child rapist Jorge Avila-Torrez, who brutally assaulted and then stabbed to death two young girls—8-year-old Laura Hobbs and 9-year-old Krystal Tobias—while they were riding their bikes in a suburb north of Chicago on May 8, 2005. Four years later, on July 11, 2009, the same garbage individual killed 20-year-old naval officer Amanda Snell in Arlington, Virginia, by strangling her with a power cord after binding her wrists. He hid her body inside a locker in her barrack. His death sentence was commuted by Biden, et al.

The list includes Philadelphia drug kingpin Kaboni Savage, who orchestrated the deaths of 12 people, among them four children who perished in a firebombing attack on their family home. Iouri Mikhel, who kidnapped and killed five Russian and Georgian immigrants for ransom, was also spared from execution. Lastly, James Roane, Jr., involved in the murder of 11 people as part of his drug dealing activities in Richmond, had his sentence commuted as well.

Anthony Battle, who had already been serving a life sentence for the rape and murder of his wife, a U.S. Marine, at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, also saw his death sentence commuted. He had killed an Atlanta prison guard with a hammer in 1994.

"Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss," Biden had someone write for him in a statement.

Biden doesn't ache for anybody. He is a totally self-centered sleazy grifter, along with his family.

“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level," Biden stated, forgetting to mention the three he was okay with having them killed. "In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”

He isn't just a liar; he's a damned liar and the kind of person who is quick to invoke God in his mush-mouthed mumbles. He has no conscience whatsoever and it's questionable whether he has the mental capacity to use the presidential pardon in the first place.

Let's hope it's challenged, for the sake of the families of the victims. They're always the last ones to be considered.

Dude who boxes women comes in 3rd as AP Female of the Year

Man who fights women

Be careful ladies, Imane Khelif, Olympic boxer [they call him a gold medalist but I refuse to follow suit] will kick your ass if you get in the ring with him. Don't let his longish hair fool you--he's not really a woman.

However, this guy who comes from Algeria, where the men are men and some of the women are men too, has won Third Place in the Associated Press Athlete of the Year in spite of a gender test proving he's a man but has the balls to say otherwise.

In first place was Caitlin Clark, the white woman who credited black women for all the good that is the WNBA, rather than crediting the NBA for funding Clark's league. Imagine if, say, if a black hockey player like Willie O'Ree, the first black hockey player, credited white hockey players for making hockey the sport that it is. 

It just doesn't happen in that direction.

But now we have the gender/sex debate that claims men can be women and vice versa, when we all know that it isn't true. Even children know this intuitively, but the left keeps pushing "opposite think."

Wearing lipstick, putting on a dress and having shaved armpits and legs does not make you a woman just because you might think you are. However, in some cases I strongly believe that the men playing women's sports know they are men [take Lia Thomas, for example, who when changing in the women's locker room at swimming competitions would get sexually aroused around naked women victims] but because they are at best mediocre against other men, would rather dominate, maybe even set records, against the gentler sex. Yes, I said it, so sue me.

Khelif is a biological male, which is the only kind of male there is, and IBA President Umar Kremlev said the boxer has "XY chromosomes," and that's the definition of male. In spite of that, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) said that Khelif was allowed to compete against women in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Unlike what Fallon Fox did to his female fighting opponents, none of the Olympic women suffered life-long debilitative injuries.

Female boxer Angela Carini [who has XX chromosomes]  forfeited her scheduled bout in the Olympics against Khelif in Paris, saying “one punch hurt too much” and that she “had never felt a punch like this.” 

Carini later won the 2024 Italian women’s title for boxing after being forced to fight Khelif at the 2024 Paris Olympics because like it was said, these so called transgender women are at best mediocre in their sport against other men and compete against women to win competitions. But to her credit, Carini beat Khelif at the 2024 Paris games.

Many social media users reacted to Khelif getting four votes from the AP panel, with one person calling it “disgusting.”

“That’s not a female. We all know it,” another reply said.

Talk show host Piers Morgan said in August that Khelif being named the women’s champion in Paris a “travesty.”

“From Emmeline Pankhurst to this … where are the world’s feminists now, as women’s hard-fought rights get so shamefully destroyed?” Morgan’s post on X read.

“BREAKING: A biological male just won an Olympic Gold medal in a women’s boxing competition. Congrats to everyone who supported this travesty,” he added.

Khelif is currently taking legal action over media reports on the leaked medical records from the French journalist showing he has a twig and berries, XY chromosomes, and tends to leave the toilet seat up.

IAF hits Sana's, Hodeidah right smack dab in Houthi leader's "victory" speech

Fun Fact: Daniel Boone never wore a coonskin hat, but his breasts lactated from a rare medical condition.

In the middle of a 'victory' speech by Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, Israeli airstrikes hit Sana'a and Hodeidah on Thursday.

The strikes specifically targeted the main runway, control tower, and aircraft at Sana'a International Airport. Images broadcast by Sky News Arabia show the airport damaged by fire.

The IDF confirmed that they had targeted Houthi military infrastructure, including the Sana’a International Airport, the Hezyaz and Ras Kanatib power stations, and the ports of Al-Hudaydah, Salif, and Ras Kanatib on Yemen's western coast.

The targets were used to smuggle weapons from the Iranian regime into Yemen.

Reports indicated seven strikes in Sana'a and three in Hodeidah, with dozens of aircraft seen in the sky.

Al-Houthi was in the middle of a speech, railing against the "failure" of Tel Aviv to challenge Yemen and said Israel had failed to obtain intelligence in the country right before the strikes hit.

Houthi spokesperson Mohammed Abdel Salam called the attack a "crime against the Yemeni people."

Ramping up the attack

"The Houthi terrorist regime is a central part of the Iranian axis of terror, and their attacks on international shipping vessels and routes continue to destabilize the region and the wider world. The Houthi terrorist regime operates as an autonomous terrorist group while relying on Iranian cooperation and funding to carry out its attacks," the IDF said following the strikes.

"The IDF will not hesitate to operate at any distance against any threat to the State of Israel and its citizens."

These strikes followed persistent missile attacks on Tel Aviv, with one missile causing damage and injuring over 30 people.

Both the United States and Israel vowed to ramp up attacks on the Houthis, who began launching raids on trade flowing through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea in "solidarity" with Hamas.

Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi has ordered the Air Force to begin upgrading its early detection and warning systems to prepare for possible attacks, like those from ballistic missiles or drones.

"The attacks against the Houthis will continue as long as necessary, and each time, they will pay a heavier price," an official added. "This is much more significant than the previous strikes."

According to the IDF, the Houthis have fired over 200 ballistic missiles and over 170 drones at Israel, with most being shot down by the US or Israel but 22 having penetrated.

The IDF, IAF, Israeli Border Police, and Shin Bet collaborate and eliminate top West Bank terrorists

Not so Fun Fact: The original MGM lion killed its trainer and two assistants the day after the logo was released.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), and Israel Border Police concluded a two-day collaborative counter-terrorism operation in the West Bank, as announced by the military on Thursday morning.

During the operation, an Israel Air Force (IAF) aircraft targeted several armed terrorist groups on multiple occasions, according to the IDF. The targeting was pinpoint in its accuracy.

The military identified the scumcrumpets it killed as Qusai Amin Ibrahim Oqasha, described as a high-ranking member of the Tulkarm terrorist network. Oqasha had taken over from Tarek Doush, who was killed the previous week in a coordinated aerial strike by the IDF and Shin Bet. 

May they rest in pieces.

Additionally, Jomaa Salam Ubaid and Imran Harun, another senior figure within the network, were reportedly killed. No joke.

The IDF added that its soldiers killed two more terrorists during "close-quarter encounters." The forces also "dismantled dozens of improvised explosive devices hidden beneath roads, apprehended several suspects, and confiscated weapons."

No other animals were harmed in this operation.

Hamas refuses to provide list of hostages to be released

According to sources closely involved in the negotiations, Hamasshole Mohammed Sinwar, the brother of rodent-faced Yahya Sinwar who has been killed while trying to hide from the IDF, is deliberately obstructing the hostage deal and has misled mediators for weeks. 

Not surprisingly, the optimism about the hostage negotiations has turned into frustration as obstacles, specifically those put forth by Sinwar, in the dealings have stalled the process.

Sources close to the talks suggest there's been a lot of intentional blocking, explaining how the brother of the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has been misleading mediators for weeks. He's been refusing to provide hostage lists and backing out of deals that were already agreed upon. Security and political officials are very worried about how Sinwar has been managing the negotiations. 

One might even surmise that Hamas has lost touch with the whereabouts of the hostages, or that they may have already been murdered.

Two big problems keep coming up: Hamas won't give a list of hostages for the first release, and there's disagreement about how many terrorist prisoners should be swapped and the terms of their deportation.

Israeli officials say that getting a hostage list is a must-have before anything else, and Hamas not doing so is stopping talks on other issues.

The end of the war is another big argument. At first, Hamas seemed okay with not discussing it to start negotiations, but now they want it to be part of any deal, making one wonder about their reasoning.

Security officials told ministers this week that starting the deal's first phase would likely lead to finishing it. Cabinet ministers seem more ready to accept the high costs of this deal but don't want to end the war, because allowing Hamas to remain intact is like allowing a few roaches to live under the sink and hope that they will not grow again.

There has been some progress though. They've agreed on releasing hostages who meet basic humanitarian needs and on sending more aid to Gaza. There's also some agreement on where Israeli forces should be during any ceasefire.

A high-ranking Cabinet member told Israel Hayom that while some topics might lead to a deal, they could also make things fall apart. Both sides are thinking about Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration on January 20.

Hamas made a statement on Wednesday, blaming Jerusalem for adding "new conditions related to withdrawal [of troops], ceasefire, prisoners, and the return of the displaced, which has delayed reaching the agreement that was available."

Hamas said the talks were "proceeding seriously in Doha with Qatari and Egyptian mediation" and claimed that the terrorist organization "has shown responsibility and flexibility."

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office responded, "The Hamas terrorist organization continues to lie, is reneging on understandings that have already been reached and is continuing to create difficulties in the negotiations.

“However, Israel will continue its relentless efforts to return all of our hostages,” the statement added.

The Israeli negotiators, including top officials from the IDF, Mossad, and Shin Bet, were set to return to Jerusalem on Tuesday night after a "significant" week of indirect talks with Hamas in Qatar, according to the PMO. They're coming back for "internal consultations regarding the continuation of the talks for the return of our hostages."

On Monday night, Hannah Katzir, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz during Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023, and freed in November of that year in a hostage exchange with Hamas, passed away at 78. Hannah was released on November 24, 2023, among 12 other women and children that day. By the end of the six-day truce on November 30, 105 captives were freed.

Biden goes down in defeat on Title IX changes he proposed: women win bigly

Fallon Fox: man who beats on women

The Biden administration wanted to go out in a fireball of leftist wins, and was hoping to revise Title IX rules in order to allow men who, either think they're women, or know they're only mediocre men in their sport, to compete against women, steal their trophies and scholarships where applicable.

But because the administration was faced with aggressive opposition to any rule changes that would allow men to beat women [in more ways than one] they abandoned their efforts to rewrite the laws they hoped would serve gender dysphoric [and cheaters] agenda.

In a straightforward, official statement, the Education Department announced they were backing down from changing Title IX, a law meant to give equal opportunities to women. They said they would not go forward with the changes that would have let transgender people participate freely in activities and use facilities according to their gender identity.

The Education Department stated, "With over 150,000 public comments on President Joe Biden’s effort to institutionalize access by men to women’s sports, multiple lawsuits to block the rule, and the upcoming end to the Biden administration, it was dropping efforts to impose the rule," according to Just the News.

If this rule had gone through, it would have meant that men could participate in women's sports, and use women's bathrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities. The Biden administration had first suggested this change back in April 2023.

🚨🚨🚨 Women’s sports are being saved.

The Biden administration is withdrawing its Title IX proposal which forced schools to allow trans-identifying male athletes into girls’ sports.
They know they’ve lost.
Common sense is emerging.
Your courage is making the difference.… pic.twitter.com/r4PQhS1tus

Jonathan Scruggs, who is Senior Counsel and Vice President of Legal Strategy at Alliance Defending Freedom, called the decision a win for women, as stated on their website.

"Women and girls deserve to compete on a level playing field, and the U.S. Department of Education has taken a step in the right direction by withdrawing this proposed change," he said.

"As the withdrawal admitted, many Americans voiced their opposition to the rule change, and there are many pending lawsuits related to protecting women’s sports — including a comment submitted by Alliance Defending Freedom and multiple lawsuits brought by ADF to protect women’s sports," he said.

"The decision to withdraw the proposed sports rule merely reflects the views of the vast majority of Americans who believe that women’s sports should remain reserved for female athletes," he said.

By choosing to withdraw the rule rather than letting President-elect Donald Trump modify it, Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump, said the White House was "adding more red tape and making it more difficult for him to govern," according to NBC.

"President Trump will not be deterred by their dirty tricks and will use every lever of power to reverse the damage Biden has done and implement his America First agenda," Leavitt said.

Writing on Outkick, Ian Miller noted, "It’s clear that the administration knew that this rule to protect transgender athletes had no chance of surviving the lawsuits and court of public opinion. Especially after the re-election of Donald Trump showed that the country overwhelmingly disapproved of such extremism." 

"But it’s also clear that they wanted to bury this announcement as to avoid scrutiny and criticism from the political left. So they chose to dump it on the Friday before Christmas, with most of the country checked out of the news or focused on the first game of the new College Football Playoff era," he wrote, adding, "Sounds about right for how this disgraceful administration has conducted itself for the past four years."

Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah, ladies and all my readers.
