Qatar demands American schools in Doha 'be aligned' in wake of Oct. 7th

The directive arrived on the very same day that the dean of Northwestern University in Qatar refused to append his name to a statement issued by his American counterparts, a statement that rightly condemned an NU-Q professor for seeking to minimize the sheer horror of the Hamas terrorist atrocities of October 7, 2023.

[Image of Northwestern University Qatar campus (top) and Georgetown University Qatar (bottom) would appear here if visuals were provided, but the substance stands without them.]In the immediate aftermath of that barbaric assault byl Hamas, the regime in Qatar, so notably hospitable to the leadership of that very terrorist organization, issued a clear instruction to the American universities it hosts in Doha. They must, in the regime's own words, "be aligned and in touch" regarding all official communications. This demand emerges plainly from emails released by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

Those same emails form part of a report issued on Tuesday, titled "How Campuses Became Hotbeds: The Rise of Radical Antisemitism on College Campuses." The documents reveal that on October 17, 2023, the government-controlled Qatar Foundation convened a call with representatives of the American branch campuses in Doha. The purpose, according to a readout sent by NU-Q associate dean James Shaw to dean Marwan Michael Kraidy, was to discuss "how it is going" in the wake of the attack.

A Qatar Foundation official, Francisco Marmolejo, President of Higher Education, called for "information sharing and no surprises," as Shaw recorded. He added, "Also each PU's [partner university's] Comms Team to be aligned and in touch with QF," thus conveying the Qatar Foundation's explicit expectations.

Shaw, for his part, voiced what he termed a "slight concern," not at the prospect of aligning with a regime that sustains Hamas, but rather at the fact that his own institution had "navigated the first 10 days of this crisis with minimal comms support due to absence."

One need hardly labor the irony. Here was an American university branch, funded and hosted by a state that harbors and finances terrorists, being pressed to synchronize its public voice with that state, even as its dean recoiled from condemning a colleague who cast doubt on documented atrocities. The alignment demanded was not with truth, or with moral clarity, but with the preferences of those who prefer obfuscation. It is a small but telling illustration of how influence, money, and fear can quietly erode the principles that Western institutions claim to hold dear.

Islamist slaughter of Christians is spiking in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and it’s as brutal as it gets

The latest bloodbath went down on September 8 in Ntoyo village, North Kivu, where monsters believed to be from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) butchered at least 64 people. These thugs proudly wave the ISIS flag like it's their local franchise of terror.

According to locals spilling the grim details to Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), the attackers didn't just kill; they torched homes and smashed skulls with guns and hammers. Many of the victims were gunned down or bludgeoned while mourning at a wake. That's the kind of heartless evil that we saw in Israel on October 7, 2023 against Jews.

This isn't a one-off. The DRC's Christians are being hunted. 

Mid-August saw 52 Christians massacred in North Kivu by the same ADF scumcrumpets. In July, 43 were slaughtered at a prayer vigil. And at the start of the year, 70 Christians were found beheaded in a Protestant church. Beheaded! That's how jihadis roll.

Bishop Melchisédech Sikuli Paluko of Butembo-Ben, speaking to ACN, tried to offer some comfort amid the carnage: "To all the families affected by this umpteenth and horrible carnage … and to all the faithful of the parish, we express our spiritual closeness. May God, the Master of Life, strengthen us through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, consoler of the afflicted, and lead us beyond the desert of present-day suffering to lasting peace." 

Noble words, but they underscore a sickening truth: this is happening over and over to Christians and Jews.

It's not just the DRC. Nigeria's Bishop Wilfred Anagbe told the British House of Lords earlier this year that massacres of Christians during festivals like Christmas have become "customary" in parts of his country. Customary. As in, just another Tuesday for these jihadist scum. Nigeria, despite its massive Christian population, ranks seventh on Open Doors' list of worst places for anti-Christian persecution, thanks to relentless Islamist violence.

The DRC is no picnic either as it's climbed to No. 35 on the same list, up six spots from last year, because the body count keeps rising. This isn't merely a statistic, it's a religious war, and it's getting uglier by the day.

IAF kills 23 Gazans while they claim they aren't getting food and supplies: Pro tip--Hamas steals it

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza City — Israeli airstrikes overnight and into Saturday killed at least 23 Arabs in Gaza, including three children and their parents whose tent was bombed in Gaza City, health officials said.

Sadly, Hamas would not allow these people to leave the area as the IDF warns people in Gaza of impending military strikes, something Hamas not only does not do, but actually targets civilians,

The bombardment continued as Israel plans to control aid to Gaza to prevent Hamas from commandeering it for themselves. 

But let's not forget, Gazans voted for Hamas and a majority of Gazans believe that the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 was justified. 

The anti-Zionist U.N. and aid groups have rejected Israel’s aid distribution moves, including a plan from a group of American security contractors, ex-military officers and humanitarian aid officials calling itself the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Perhaps they would rather see Hamas well-fed rather than Gazans.

It's obviously horrible that civilians are getting killed in this war, a conflict that was brought to Israel's door, but that fact is not Israel's fault but that of Hamas who uses civilians, including children [because they're more portable than grown adults] as human shields.

Another Israeli strike late Friday hit a warehouse belonging to UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, in the northern area of Jabaliya. Four people were killed, according to the Indonesian Hospital, where bodies were taken. By people, it's likely they were terrorists or their sympathizers as we all know that UNRWA has been inundated with terrorists.

The IDF said nine soldiers were lightly wounded Friday night by a boobytrap explosive device while searching Gaza City’s Shijaiyah neighborhood. It said they were evacuated to a hospital in Israel.

Israel resumed its bombardment in Gaza on March 18, shattering a two-month ceasefire that Hamas failed to honor by repeatedly failing to comply with the hostage release terms and conducting humiliating ceremonies before releasing hostages. Hamas also refused to extend Phase One to extend the ceasefire by 50 days to secure the release of half the remaining hostages.

If you enjoy my blog, feel free to toss a virtual coffee my way on Buy Me a Coffee – it’s like a high-five with caffeine, and coffee keeps me focused. No pressure, it's your call. 

Between March 17 to 18, Hamas was preparing military offensives against Israeli civilian communities and IDF troops in Gaza. The March 18 strike was preemptive to counter Hamas' plans to execute terror attacks.

Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel after the Hamassholes killed about 1,200 people, primarily civilians, and kidnapped 251 others. They still hold around 59 hostages, and only 21 or so are believed to be alive.

Anyone who takes Hamas' side after what they did to start hostilities is either ignorant or a fool.

IDF strikes Beirut for first time since ceasefire: anti-Semites fume

 The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) just dropped a hammer on Beirut, lighting up a Hezbollah hotspot in the Lebanese capital. This was the first time they’ve blitzed that town since a truce shut down over a year of slugging it out with the Iran-backed crew.

 
Israel’s war machine rolled into action Friday, zeroing in on a building in Beirut’s southern suburbs—a retaliation punch, they say, for rockets raining down from their northern neighbor. The IDF’s got their story straight: they were hunting a Hezbollah drone stash. Lebanon’s National News Agency backed it up, reporting, “Israeli warplanes struck the Hadath neighborhood in Beirut’s southern suburbs.” 

Meanwhile, Israel kept the heat on, pounding Hezbollah targets down in southern Lebanon like they’re settling an old score.

Over in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron wasn’t having it. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, he called the Beirut strike “unacceptable,” growling that it’s the kind of move that “plays into the hands of Hezbollah.” He's obviously stupid or a terrorist sympathizer.

France, part of the ceasefire watchdog crew, is clearly itching to keep this powder keg from blowing sky-high again.

 
But Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz isn't backing down. He’s pointing the finger square at Lebanon’s government, saying they’re on the hook for this mess. His warning? “If there is no quiet in Kiryat Shmona and the Galilee communities, there will be no quiet in Beirut either.” Straight-up, no-chill vibes. 

The UN’s Lebanon point person, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, chimed in too, calling Friday’s cross-border fireworks “deeply concerning.” You can almost hear the collective groan—here we go again.

Hezbollah, though? They’re playing the “not me” card. 

The terrorist group denied any hand in Friday’s rocket show—or last Saturday’s, for that matter. They’re swearing up and down they’re still cool with the November ceasefire, the one that was supposed to cap off months of bloody chaos with Israel. And if you believe that, you might think chickens have lips.

Flashback: the group started lobbing rockets and shells Israel’s way right after Hamas kicked off their October 7, 2023, terror spree. That lit the fuse for all-out war—Israel hit back hard, turning Beirut into a punching bag and rolling tanks across the line. This, of course, pissed off the anti-Semite communities in Europe and the USA.

 
The truce deal was the off-ramp: Lebanese troops beefing up the south, Hezbollah pulling its fighters and toys out, and Israel easing back a bit. But with bombs dropping again, it’s looking like that ceasefire’s hanging by a damn thread. Stay tuned—this ain’t over.

Am Yisrael Chai, baby!

IDF warns Lebanese civilians to leave homes where Hezbollah stores weapons and arms

Who besides Israel warns enemy non-combatants to evacuate areas and residences where they plan to strike? We didn't do it in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The UK didn't do it in Dresden. And Hamas sure as hell didn't do it in Israel.

On Monday, the Israel Defense Forces called on southern Lebanese residents to leave their homes and buildings where Hezbollah stores weapons and ammunition as they were carrying out "extensive strikes" against the terrorists.

This was the first warning the IDF had given in almost a year, coming after a very heavy exchange of fire on Sunday where the terrorists launched about 150 rockets, missiles and drones into northern Israel, aimed at indiscriminately killing Israelis in retaliation for strikes the killed dozens of Hezbollah terrorists and a top commander.

The latest strikes and counterstrikes may be an indication of an all-out war, even as Israel is at war with the Hamas Arabs in Gaza and are working to get the hostages kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7 home. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has vowed to continue striking Israeli targets in solidarity with Hamas, as both groups are Iranian-sponsored.

Lebanon’s state-run mouthpiece, National News Agency, said the strikes hit the central province of Byblos for the first time since the exchanges began on October 8th, the day after Hamas invaded Israel, brutally killed and raped about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 253 hostages. 

Israel also struck targets in the northeastern Baalbek and Hermel regions, where a shepherd was killed and two family members were wounded, according to the news agency. It said a total of 17 people were wounded in the strikes, none of whom wanted to see any Jews survive this conflict.

An IDF official said Israel is focused on aerial operations and has no immediate plans for a ground operation. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity in keeping with regulations, said the strikes are defensive and are aimed at curbing Hezbollah’s ability to launch more strikes into Israel.

Lebanese media reported that residents received text messages urging them to move away from any building where Hezbollah stores arms until further notice, which tells you that Israel does all it can to minimize civilian casualties, while Hezbollah and Hamas does all it can to maximize them.

“If you are in a building housing weapons for Hezbollah, move away from the village until further notice,” the Arabic message reads, according to Lebanese media.

Israel has correctly accused Hezbollah of transforming entire communities in the south into militant bases, with hidden rocket launchers and other infrastructure. Proof of this claim is evident in the secondary explosions that occur when a structure is hit with a relatively small bomb and the large blasts that follow show that weapons and ammunition had been stored there.

Due to the knowledge of Hezbollah's attempt at deceiving the IDF as to where their weapons caches are located, the IDF may use heavy bombing sorties even if no ground troops are deployed there. 

Thus far, over 150 militant sites have been targeted early Monday.

Last week, thousands of pagers and walkie talkies used mainly by 'Hezbollonian scumwafers, exploded simultaneously in parts of Lebanon. Thirty-nine Hezbollah terrorist were killed and about 3,000 were wounded, some with the loss of eyesight, others with the loss of sexual reproductivity and  newly acquired falsetto voices. 

Lebanese 'civilians' before their coffee

Israel did not claim credit for this brilliant 'trojan horse' operation. They have, however, promised to push Hezbollah back from the border to allow Israelis to return to their homes. Israel says it wants to do it diplomatically, but will use force if necessary. Hezbollah, in line with Islamic scripture, says it will keep up its attacks against the, you know, Jews, until there is a ceasefire in Gaza, which translates as a win for the terrorists.

Israel claims to have eliminated over 17,000 scumcrumpets while Gaza's Health Ministry claims that Israel killed over 41,000 Gazans. However they do not differentiate between civilian 'shields' and terrorists, mainly because the difference is inconsequential.

Netanyahu vows he will never surrender 'military and political assets in Gaza'

During a meeting with relatives of Israeli captives in Gaza and families of terror victims, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to resist intense foreign pressure to relinquish key strategic areas in central and southern Gaza in exchange for a hostage deal.

On Tuesday, after meeting with the hostage relatives, Netanyahu vowed that Israel would maintain control over these crucial regions in the Gaza Strip. He pledged to ignore both foreign and domestic pressure to reach a compromise with Hamas that would lead to a hostage deal and ceasefire.

Netanyahu declared that Israel would never agree to Hamas' demand for the IDF to give up control of the Philadelphi Corridor, which runs along Gaza’s southern border and separates the Gaza Strip from the Sinai Peninsula and Egypt. He also emphasized that Israel would not relinquish control over the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza, which divides Gaza City in the north from Khan Younis and Rafah in the south.“Israel will not leave, under any circumstances, the Philadelphi Route or the Netzarim Corridor, despite incredible pressure to do so. These are strategic assets, both military and political.”

Hamas has demanded that Israel withdraw from both areas as a condition for releasing hostages and has insisted that any agreement include a permanent truce to end the current conflict.

Tzvika Mor, the father of Eitan Mor, a security guard taken hostage at the Nova Music Festival on October 7th and held since then in Gaza, told Galei Yisrael that Netanyahu expressed pessimism about the chances of reaching a deal with Hamas.

“From what I could tell, the prime minister doesn’t think there will be an agreement. We also see that Hamas is consistently refusing, and in the meantime we are doing our best to hit Hamas until they are defeated.”

Hamas disorganized as IDF makes remarkable achievements in Gaza

The IDF says it has eliminated over 14,000 Hamassholes since the October 7 unprovoked massacre on the Jewish State. Over the last two weeks, the IDF killed about 1,000 terrorists as they ramp up the pressure on the terror group.

Several alternatives for maintaining control of the Philadelphi Corridor are being discussed privately.

Throughout the week, the IDF restructured the deployment of its operating forces in Gaza. Specifically, Division 99, which had been securing the Nitzarim Corridor in the central region of the Strip, was replaced by Division 252, assuming responsibility for that area.

The IDF is intensifying its pressure on Hamas across three critical fronts: Rafah, central Gaza, and the northern Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the Gaza Division is expanding its comprehensive command and strategic oversight of the operational zones, thereby enhancing their control and coordination efforts.

The objective is to establish a one-kilometer-wide buffer zone along the entire length of the Gaza Strip, adjacent to the border fence with Israel, devoid of infrastructure and buildings, and inaccessible to Gazans. The IDF claims several accomplishments in this effort so far.

Although the IDF is not completely satisfied with having cleared an 800-meter-wide strip along the northern section of the Philadelphi Corridor, it has significantly increased its influence in the city. This effort has uncovered underground tunnel networks and command systems. Additionally, in this area, the IDF has identified facilities used for manufacturing weapons and missiles.

The IDF has destroyed several kilometers of tunnels, many of which were functional and extended across the border into Egypt. Some of these tunnels were even large enough for vehicles to pass through.

In Gaza, especially in Rafah, all the tunnels are part of a single interconnected underground network, with each section serving a specific operational or logistical purpose.

For instance, there are defensive tunnels, command complexes, intelligence complexes, tunnels for weapon manufacturing, storage facilities, and attack tunnels that either approach the border with Israel or cross into Egypt. At the same time, the IDF is demolishing hundreds of buildings in Rafah that were used for terrorist infrastructure and operations.

The IDF has observed a significant drop in morale among Hamas operatives, who are struggling to fight effectively. Some operatives have emerged from tunnels and are attempting to regroup within shelter complexes, which the IDF continues to target, including today in Nuseirat. Over the past week, hundreds of terrorists have been neutralized in these operations.

During an operation by Division 99 and Division 98 in Shejaia and the Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City, the IDF uncovered the UNRWA's "Dalal" compound. This compound originally housed a school, a clinic, and a food warehouse provided by humanitarian convoys.

However, Hamas had repurposed the site into a large command center housing hundreds of terrorists. The IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade seized control of the site and eliminated approximately 150 terrorists. In addition, they confiscated all of Hamas's computer, communication, and intelligence equipment found there.

Several IDF sources continue to express confidence that Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif is dead. It's possible Deif was able to leave before the attack without being spotted by surveillance, but it's more likely that he was blown into such small bitesize pieces that even his nose could not be found.

The volume of anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades decreased to 134 from 652, though due to the larger initial volume of RPGs as opposed to the smaller number of rockets, this still left Hamas with a fairly large inventory of RPGs to conduct ambushes against IDF soldiers nearby.

Moreover, the Hamassholes were down to 133 improvised explosives from 662. This has effected their long-term or strategic fighting, and the IDF says that the terrorists are down to 1,000 to 1,500 rockets. At the beginning of the war, they were believed to have had 15,000 rockets.

Meanwhile, the IDF is concerned Hamas has enough long-range rockets capable of striking Tel Aviv, but it looks as if Hamas has been reduced to a survival mode rather than a group of scumbags who were able to carry out proactive attacks.
