GERMANY: Supporters of Hamas jihad massacre paint Star of David on Jewish homes in Berlin

By Jihad Watch

Germany has been here before. It didn’t end well. But this new resurgence of violent Jew-hatred in the country is their own doing. Angela Merkel opened the doors to a flood of Muslim migrants. Now Germany is celebrating diversity.

Star of David is graffitied on Jewish homes in Berlin after Hamas attacks on Israel – in chilling echo of anti-Semitic persecution of the Jews under the Nazis

by Elena Salvoni, Daily Mail, October 15, 2023:

The Star of David has been graffitied on the doors of homes in Berlin, in a chilling echo of anti-Semitic persecution of Jewish people under the Nazis.

Pictures circulating online show the symbol was drawn on several buildings, with four cases reported to German police in recent days.

Jewish people living in the German capital have reported a rise in abuse following Hamas’s bloody attack on Israel last week.

Among those targeted by vandalism was a young Jewish woman, who said she was shocked when she returned to her apartment on Thursday evening to find a star marked on her door.

The woman, who has a mezuzah – a Jewish house blessing – outside her flat, said that the incident was a ‘huge shock’ and left her ‘scared’.

‘I speak Hebrew, talk on the phone in Hebrew, and wear a Star of David… I really thought about whether I should stay at home,’ the woman told Bild.

Police said they are now investigating ‘whether the other houses have a Jewish resident and whether the incidents are connected.’

The incidents amount to a crime under German law, and seem to be an imitation of the persecution of Jews during the 1930s.

During the Holocaust, Nazi Brownshirts painted the Star of David in white on the doors of Jewish businesses to discourage non-Jewish Germans from going into them.

It comes as a German intelligence chief claimed that ‘some Palestinians are openly and blatantly calling for a kind of Kristallnacht 2.0,’ in reference to the Nazis’ violent coordinated attacks on Jewish homes and businesses in 1938….

VIRGINIA: Pro-jihad School Board Member Opposes Honoring Victims of Hamas Jihad Massacre

Pro-Palestinian school board member opposes honoring Hamas attack victims: ‘Ignores the root of the violence

by Gabriel Hays, Fox News, October 13, 2023:

A pro-Palestinian Fairfax County school board member scolded fellow board members Thursday for giving a statement and holding a moment of silence for the victims of Hamas’ recent deadly attack against Israel.

During the meeting, Abrar Omeish rebuked the board for their “sneak attack” of inserting a moment of silence for victims of Saturday’s surprise terrorist attack and Israel’s ensuing war against Hamas into the meeting’s agenda….

Airing her grievances with how the memorial was conducted, she said, “I wasn’t expecting what seemed to be a sneak attack after we had discussed making sure we represent all children in the ways that we speak and when we speak. So it’s disappointing that my colleagues would do that behind my back after conversations that I had with them in saying that the statement represents everybody’s views.”…

“Many are thinking about the incredible devastation and human suffering unfolding today in Israel and Palestine. And we mourn the loss of hundreds of innocent civilians killed and homes destroyed this week alone and the thousands over the decades,” Omeish said.

Omeish continued by declaring that seeing Israel’s retaliation against an aggressor as a black and white issue is insufficient, stating, “It might seem simple – aggressors attacking families in a state seeking vengeance – but we often sympathize with and humanize the side that we relate to and the side that looks more like us, or that our biases guide us towards.”

“But doing so ignores the root of the violence,” she said. Appearing to lessen the moral culpability of Hamas in its terrorism on Saturday, Omeish added, “Centuries of human history teach us that escalations happen when problems are ignored, realities are denied, and voices are censored. When one narrative dominates from the world stage all the way to our classrooms.”

She then uttered the social justice quote, “No justice, no peace,” and slammed Israel for building an apartheid state and murdering Palestinians….

THE WAR ON X: WW III The Global War Against Islamic Terrorism — Day 9

By Dr. Rich Swier

Today is October 15, 2023, the 9th day of the Global War Against Islamic Terrorism.

We now know that both the Iranian Mullahs and Biden are funding the Hamas terrorists to carry out their brutal campaign against innocent women and children including: Murdering babies, burning children alive, beheading children and civilians, kidnapping children, raping women and children and murdering hundreds at a concert and shooting dogs.

When those Zionists came here with their dogs, that was as an act of provocation.

If those dogs come close to us again, we will see it as an act of aggression and we will kill those dogs.

We will put them down.pic.twitter.com/vBFStVIIIP

To understand what is happening one must understand the idea of Fitnah, a heretical uprising.

Fitnah is the most essential motivational component of Islamic theology, i.e., it is the cornerstone of an adversarial, confrontational worldview that inevitably leads to a state of perpetual conflict with the non-Islamic world.

In fact, fighting against the multi-faceted threat of Fitnah is such an essential part of a Quran-based worldview, that it is both the Strategy and Tactics and the ‘Beating Heart’ of the Global Islamic Movement (GIM). Removing Fitnah from the world is so fundamental to Islamic ideology that every primary source contains extensive references to this concept.

The mission of Hamas is ethnic cleansing to stop the Fitna (ending any and all resistance to Islam), pure and simple. 

As the Israeli Defence Forces move further into Gaza they find more and more atrocities being committed in the name of Mohammed.

What is notable is that the Iranian soccer team  at the World Cup refused to sing the Iranian national anthem.

CBS News’ Christopher Brito wrote,

The Iranian soccer team’s players chose not to sing their country’s national anthem before their opening match against England on Monday at the World Cup in Qatar, in apparent solidarity with protesters back home. As Iran’s national anthem played at Khalifa International Stadium, television cameras showed the starting players standing stoically, but not singing.

Sam Kiley, from CNN, wrote, “The families of Iran’s World Cup soccer team have been threatened with imprisonment and torture if the players fail to ‘behave’ ahead of the match against the USA on Tuesday, a source involved in the security of the games said. Following the refusal of Iranian players to sing the nation’s national anthem in their opening match against England on November 21, the source said that the players were called to a meeting with members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The source said that they were told that their families would face ‘violence and and torture if they did not sing the national anthem or if they joined any political protest against the Tehran regime.

Israel’s Swift Response to the Hamas Attack: A Closer Look thumbnail

Israel’s Swift Response to the Hamas Attack: A Closer Look

By Amil Imani

In response to the audacious assault by Hamas, Israel acted swiftly to address the situation and protect its citizens. The immediate response included a series of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip to target Hamas militants and infrastructure while minimizing harm to Palestinian civilians. These airstrikes were a defensive measure to neutralize the threat posed by Hamas and underscored Israel’s commitment to protecting its citizens.

However, conducting military operations in densely populated areas posed a complex challenge — the risk of collateral damage was high. This presented a delicate balance for Israel, where the need for self-defense had to be reconciled with the obligation to minimize civilian harm.

Recognizing the situation’s urgency, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) established a situation room. This dedicated command center was crucial in facilitating communication, intelligence gathering, and decision-making. It demonstrated Israel’s commitment to securing the release of its citizens and ensuring their safety. The situation room reflected the importance of real-time information and communication in responding to crises, enabling Israel to assess the situation, formulate strategies, and negotiate if necessary.

The capture of Israeli civilians and soldiers, including festivalgoers, children, women, the elderly, and people with disabilities, raised grave concerns and heightened the urgency of securing their release. Hamas’s claim of capturing senior Israeli officers, including Maj Gen Nimrod Aloni, added complexity to the situation. The hostages’ safety and well-being were paramount, making their release a top priority for Israel. The nation grappled with the emotional toll and the challenging decisions it might face in negotiating for its freedom.

The scale and precision of the Hamas attack led to questions about a potential intelligence failure within Israel. The surprise assault caught the nation off-guard, revealing vulnerabilities in their intelligence and security apparatus. This event prompted introspection and a reassessment of Israel’s preparedness. Experts and analysts were puzzled by the audacious attack, leading to debates about Israeli intelligence and security.

Hamas’s attack, encompassing land, sea, and air operations, demonstrated a level of sophistication and coordination not seen before. The attackers managed to breach Israel’s defenses on multiple fronts, catching the nation off-guard. This audacious maneuver involved a surprise assault that overwhelmed Israel’s security measures, raising questions about the effectiveness of their intelligence apparatus.

One of the most alarming aspects of the attack was the bulldozer incident at the Gaza border. Hamas exploited a vulnerability in Israel’s defenses when a bulldozer was used to breach the border fence, allowing many fighters to infiltrate Israel. The timing of the attack, strategically launched during a Jewish holiday when many military personnel were off duty, further exposed Israel’s vulnerabilities. The element of surprise was a key factor in Hamas’s success, revealing a lapse in Israel’s ability to anticipate and prevent such a large-scale operation.

Moreover, reports suggested that Israel’s highly regarded Iron Dome missile defense system was not operational when the Hamas rocket barrage began. If these reports were accurate, it would signify a significant lapse in Israel’s defense infrastructure.

In the wake of this attack, Israeli authorities and security experts initiated a process of introspection and reassessment of their nation’s preparedness. The Israeli government faced the challenge of addressing immediate security concerns while shoring up its intelligence and defense capabilities to prevent future surprises. Israel needed to learn from this event, identify gaps in their intelligence network, and take corrective measures to enhance national security.

The Hamas attack and the potential intelligence failure had broader implications for regional stability. The security of the Middle East was a matter of global concern, and Israel’s ability to defend itself against threats was pivotal to the region’s stability.

Hamas, a Palestinian militant organization, had a well-documented history of using extreme violence against Israeli civilians as a means to achieve its objectives. This history included suicide bombings, rocket attacks, and other acts of terror, earning the group a designation as a terrorist organization by several countries and international bodies.

The scale and precision of the recent attack indicated a level of planning and coordination that went beyond a simple act of retaliation. This operation involved land, sea, and air operations, revealing a high degree of sophistication in its execution. The timing of the attack during a Jewish holiday, when many Israelis were off guard and military personnel were on leave, suggesting a level of strategic planning to maximize the element of surprise.

While the immediate goal may have been to inflict damage and capture hostages, the broader aim might be to shift the dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Furthermore, this incident served as a reminder of the dynamic and evolving nature of conflicts in the Middle East, emphasizing the importance of continuous adaptation and readiness in the face of emerging threats.

The audacity of this attack stunned Israel and garnered international attention, leading to an escalation of hostilities, with Israel launching airstrikes on Gaza in response. The situation remained highly volatile, with the potential for further violence and instability in the region.

The international community closely watched these developments, with leaders from various countries condemning Hamas’s actions and expressing concern for the safety of Israeli civilians. They emphasized the need to de-escalate the conflict and find a path towards a peaceful resolution. Truth be told, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not about land and will not be solved by the two-state solution. It is and has always been about pushing the Jews into the sea. The Hamas attack only underscores the urgency of addressing this reality.

The War Against Israel Is All About Islam, and Islam Is All About Terror thumbnail

The War Against Israel Is All About Islam, and Islam Is All About Terror

By The Geller Report

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is likely to be more responsible than anyone else, other than Old Joe Biden, for the jihad war on Israel, so he above all people should know what it’s all about. On Saturday morning, he made it clear yet again for those inattentive students in the back of the classroom, tweeting: “Palestine and Gaza are manifestations of Islam’s power.

Palestine and Gaza are manifestations of Islam’s power.

— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) October 14, 2023

“Palestine” and Gaza are entities in which jihad terrorism is celebrated and the desire to kill Jews and destroy Israel is systematically inculcated into children from the earliest ages. As Khamenei reminds us, that situation and this present war, are all about Islam.

There it is. The slaughterers are telling you it’s Islam.

But if you say it or quote it, you’re “islamophobic” or “racist” (Islam is not a race) and you are smeared, defamed, libeled. pic.twitter.com/Ss0auALKV0

— 🇺🇸 Pamela Geller 🇺🇸 (@PamelaGeller) October 14, 2023

If Khamenei’s words weren’t enough, the lesson was reinforced yet again when an Islamic State (ISIS) flag was found in the wake of the Oct. 7 jihad massacres in Israel. The Times of Israel reported Wednesday that “a Telegram channel called South First Responders, which has been distributing shocking footage from scenes on kibbutzim and other areas devastated in Saturday’s attack, claims that soldiers found an flag of the Islamic State terror group on the vest of a terrorist killed during an assault on Kibbutz Sufa, near the Gaza border.”

The report goes on to warn us that “the picture’s authenticity cannot be immediately confirmed.” All right. But there is nothing implausible about the idea that an Islamic State jihadi was among the Hamas jihadis who did the killing in Israel. The establishment media will never come close to informing people of the fact, but there are absolutely no ideological differences between Hamas and the Islamic State. They have the same beliefs, the same goals, and the same methodology. Both are dedicated to establishing the rule of Islam and the hegemony of Islam everywhere they can, and ultimately over the entire world.

Those who assume that Hamas is simply a “resistance” movement against Israel should note the words of Hamas top dog Mahmoud al-Zahar in Dec. 2022: “We are not talking about liberating our land alone – but we believe in what our Prophet Muhammad said: ‘Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake, and I have seen its eastern and western ends. The dominion of my nation would reach those ends that have been drawn near me.’” Al-Zahar believes this to be a prediction of the coming Islamic domination of the world: “The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no treachery, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity, and no killings and crimes, like those being committed against the Palestinians, and against the Arabs in all the Arab countries – in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and other countries.”

No ISIS leader would find anything to quibble with in that. Nor would ISIS look askance at the numerous atrocities Hamas committed in Israel. Both groups have the same guiding principle: “Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60) Nowadays the jihadis have bombs and rocket launchers, not warhorses, but the goal is the same: strike terror in Allah’s enemies.

Terror is not a practice that “extremist” Muslims engage in while “moderate” eschew it; terror is the primary way that the Qur’an directs Muslims to gain and enforce the submission of their foes. The idea on Oct. 7 was to terrify Israelis into thinking not only that resistance to the jihadis was useless, but that the whole enterprise of Israel itself was unsustainable, and that they should go live elsewhere. The Islamic State operated in the same way in Iraq and Syria, and now continues to do so in its operations in Gaza.

Khamenei is right: “Palestine” and Gaza are manifestations of Islam’s power because Islam’s power is entirely based upon terror. Acts such as what we saw in Israel on Oct. 7 strike terror into the perceived enemies of Islam. The killings and death threats over cartoons and desecrations of the Qur’an strike terror in those who would exercise the freedom of expression. The death penalty for apostasy strikes terror into Muslims who might be getting skeptical about their religion. The allowance for the beating of disobedient women strikes terror in females who might long to live as freely as their sisters in the West live. “Palestine and Gaza are manifestations of Islam’s power,” and that power is terror. The key to defeating this is to refuse to be afraid, and to continue to stand for what is good and true and right, come what may.

FLORIDA: Remembering the 2021 Hamas Rally in Orlando at the Lake Eola Amphitheater

By Dr. Rich Swier

Watch this video please—these people should never have been admitted into the U.S.

See how many of these potential terrorists are cowards wearing masks.

Look how they try to block out the person videotaping them — where the hell are the Orlando Police who issued these pro-Palestinians a permit to demonstrate? Don’t see them anywhere in this video.

Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar should not be U.S. Representatives.

On May 15, 2021, Rasha Mubarak, and her Israel and Jewish hating Palestinians along with their Marxist Democrat supporters descended on Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando to demonize the day Israel was granted statehood by the United Nations, calling it the NAKBA.

At 2:42 in this video Rasha Mubarak, protest organizer, on a loudspeaker, singles out a cameraman, in the front row, as a Zionist, Provocateur, then instructs the people there to “cover him,” and they did. During this time, I was hit, bumped, elbowed, and pushed out of a public space against my will. Due to Rasha Mubarak’s incitement to violence against me, I was forced to move or risk increased assault.

Nakba is an Arabic term meaning ‘The great catastrophe.’ The great catastrophe is that Israel survived the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

So you are probably asking, what is this NAKBA?

Israel was granted statehood by the United Nations on May 14, 1948. On May 15th, 5 Arab countries tried to wipe Israel off the face of the planet…and failed.

The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five Arab nations invaded the brand new State of Israel and lost the war in a humiliating defeat. Israel’s Arab neighbors tried to destroy Israel again in the 1967 Six-Day War and suffered another humiliating defeat. Israel’s Arab neighbors tried again to destroy Israel in the hard-fought 1973 Yom Kippur War and failed. Muhammad hated the Jews 1400 years ago, and now the followers of Islam got humiliated by the Jews repeatedly.

Arab Muslim and HAMAS Palestinian terrorists have been conducting bombings, knifings, shootings, stoning’s, arson, BDS, terrorist operations non-stop for 73 years in Israel. The motivation for all this Palestinian violence is to never have to have another NAKBA Rally again, as articulated by Rasha Mubarak in this video.

The NAKBA is a call for Israel’s destruction from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. These psychopaths openly dream of snuffing out every citizen of all races and religions they deem as collaborators with CITIZENS OF OR JUST LIVING IN ISRAEL.

Video from 9-Years Ago Shows the Real Relationship Between Islam and Divergent Sexual Appetites

By Vlad Tepes Blog

Going through some old hard drives, we are finding some amazing examples of how not too too long ago, media actually reported some uncomfortable truths.

The following video is from 2014 and shows how Nigeria was putting four homosexual men on trial for their sexual activities, and if guilty, stone them to death. The BBC clip also does not hide the fact that this is a fundamentally Islamic view. Something we are basically made to think is a hate crime today. That is, to portray Islam as it actually is, somehow has become a hate crime.

Islam, as we know, must be seen as a co-victim of White, Christian, Imperialist, Capitalist European culture. 

Which is why when Muslims lead protests against SOGI and so on, media, and perhaps especially Canadian media, will hide the Islamic aspect of the protests by ignoring them if small enough to ignore, or imputing the motive on far-right-extremists.

Trudeau even went as far as trying to talk a Muslim against SOGI that he was a victim of “right wing Americans” and that his belief that his children should not be sterilized by the state had nothing to do with Islam or his own thinking.

Qatar Enables Hamas’ War Against Israel thumbnail

Qatar Enables Hamas’ War Against Israel

By Middle East Media Research Institute

The Qatar-Hamas alliance goes back years. Qatar has financed Hamas’ military buildup and harbored its leaders, who live in Doha to this day. Qatar is also enabling Hamas’ current war against Israel, launched with a large-scale surprise attack on October 7, 2023 in which over 1,300 Israelis were killed, over 100 were abducted, including women, children, infants and elderly people, and thousands were wounded. (See MEMRI reports: A Statement By The President And Founder Of MEMRI On The Hamas Einsatzgruppen Attack;  Netanyahu And Qatar Would Share Responsibility For An Imminent Regional War). Hamas’ leaders are managing this war from Doha and conveying their messages via Qatar’s Al-Jazeera television channel, while the Qatari media expresses unreserved support for Hamas and its terrorist actions.

This report reviews the expressions of Qatar’s alliance with Hamas.

Hamas Leaders Are Managing The War Against Israel From Qatar

As stated, the heads of the Hamas terror organization live in Doha and operate there without hindrance. In fact, on October 7, 2023, the day of the deadly Hamas attack in southern Israel, the Hamas leadership held a meeting in Doha. Videos from this meeting circulated on social media on the morning of the attack show Hamas leaders watching footage of it on Al-Jazeera and holding a “prayer of gratitude.” Among the leaders seen in the video are the head of Hamas’ political bureau, Isma’il Haniya; Haniya’s media advisor Taher Al-Nounou; Haniya’s deputy and Hamas’ leader in the West Bank Saleh Al-‘Arouri; Hamas’ leader abroad, Khaled Mash’al,  and Khalil Al-Haya, Hamas’ chief of relations with the Arab and Islamic world and the movement’s deputy leader in Gaza. In the video Haniya is heard saying: “Let us prostrate [in prayer]. These images were… See the guys with a new jeep. Look. Look. The Israeli jeep… Let’s do it. This is a prostration of gratitude for this victory. Allah, please bestow your support and glory on our people and nation. Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah be praised.”

View excerpts from the video on MEMRI TV:

On October 14 Hamas’ leaders made another public appearance in Doha when they met with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who was visiting the country. The meeting was attended by Haniya, Al-Haya, Mash’al’s deputy Moussa Abu Marzouq and Zaher Jabarin, Hamas’ chief of prisoner affairs.

The editor of the Saudi daily Independent Arabiya, ‘Adwan Al-Ahmari, noted in an October 9 interview with France24 that Hamas’ leaders are not in Gaza but are living in luxury hotels in Doha and operating from there in the service of Iran and its leader Khamenei.[1]

Qatar Aired Hamas’ Declarations Of War

Qatar’s Al-Jazeera channel serves as a mouthpiece for Hamas’ messaging. For example, on the day of Hamas’ recent wide-scale attack, it aired the statement in which Hamas’ military chief Muhammad Deif declared the start Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (Hamas’ name for the attack) and called on Palestinians to kill Israelis. It also aired a statement by Isma’il Haniya, who likewise urged the Palestinians in the West Bank, as well as Israeli Arabs and all Palestinians abroad, to join the fray.

Qatari Media Expresses Unreserved Support For Hamas’ Attack, Holds Israel Responsible For It

The Qatari media has expressed complete support for Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel and glee at the latter’s plight. The editor of the Qatari daily Al-Sharq, Jaber Al-Harmi, described the attack as a “heroic operation” that has changed the rules of the game and ushered in “a new phase in the military confrontation” ahead of “the complete liberation of Palestinian soil.” Palestinian journalist Samir Al-Barghouti, who, in his column in the Qatari daily Al-Watan often praises terror against Israel,[2] likened the Hamas attack to the Prophet Muhammad’s attack on the Jews of Khaybar in the year 628.[3]

An Al-Jazeera report about the attack featured footage of slain Israeli soldiers, showed Israeli soldiers and civilians being captured, and rejoiced that Hamas had “destroyed Israel’s iron image.”

Qatar’s Years-Long Support For Hamas

It should be noted that Qatar extends unreserved political and economic support to Hamas, and its media, including Al-Jazeera, have for years been inciting terror and violence, including against Israel and Israeli civilians.

Biden’s Senior Director for Intelligence Programs is a Palestinian thumbnail

Biden’s Senior Director for Intelligence Programs is a Palestinian

By Dr. Rich Swier

Did you know that the Obama 3/Beijing Joe Biden regime’s key intelligence advisor and filter between the U.S. intelligence agencies; the National Security Council and Biden is a Palestinian?

This is a total conflict of interest leading to Obama 3/Biden’s priorities to support the enemies of Israel over Israelis.

How do you think this helped Hamas to murder 1,300 Israelis, maim many more and most likely killed most of the 25 US citizens kidnapped by Hamas?

Biden appoints Palestinian American to key intelligence role

Maher Bitar served in the National Security Council under former President Barack Obama, as director for Israeli and Palestinian affairs.

(January 25, 2021 / JNS)

U.S. President Joe Biden has appointed Palestinian American Maher Bitar to the role of senior director for intelligence programs at the National Security Council, according to a report in the political journalism site Politico.

Bitar served in the National Security Council under former President Barack Obama, as director for Israeli and Palestinian affairs.

He earned his master’s degree at Oxford University, writing his dissertation on forced migration at the school’s Refugee Studies Center. He has worked with the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees in Jerusalem.

Since 2017, Bitar served as general counsel for Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee. As top legal adviser for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), he was deeply involved in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump.

As senior director for intelligence programs, Bitar will receive sensitive information from intelligence agencies and coordinate covert operations between the intelligence communities and the White House. The office of the senior director also houses the server that stores the most sensitive classified information.

Speaking to Politico, Schiff called Bitar “a superb choice,” saying, “I can’t think of anyone more suited to the role.”

Hamas Attacks are the Third Worst U.S. Death Toll from Islamic Terror thumbnail

Hamas Attacks are the Third Worst U.S. Death Toll from Islamic Terror

By Jihad Watch

22 Americans are confirmed murdered.

The numbers killed in the Hamas attacks in Israel continue to climb. What started in the hundreds has now passed 1,200. And is expected to go on climbing. It’s taking time for Israel to fully restore control over some of the communities invaded by Islamic terrorists. Identifying and counting the bodies has also become a long and grueling process. Some bodies were burned or badly mutilated.

The currently announced total is 22 Americans murdered in the attacks. This number will likely increase.

It is however the single deadliest death toll for Americans from Islamic terrorism since the Pulse Massacre in Florida in 2016. Beginning with 9/11, this would appear to be the third deadliest Islamic mass murder of American civilians in this century.

Hopefully the numbers don’t rise any further, but it’s possible they will.

At the moment, Israelis are still waiting on burying their dead. Bodies are still being turned up. Since Hamas Jihadis torched buildings to force families out into the open where they could kill them, it’s possible that some bodies may never be properly identified. Israeli rescue groups like ZAKA are expert at locating even small fragments of bone and tissue for burial and identification purpose, but there has never been anything on this scale in Israel. The closest parallel is 9/11 and it took a long time to identify the dead.

VIDEO: Remembering the July 20, 2014 CAIR ‘We are Jihad. We are HAMAS’ Rally in Miami, Florida

By Defend The Border

We republish this July 20, 2014 video taken in Miami titled CAIR, FL “We are Jihad. We are HAMAS”.

We should have listened then, we must listen now!

“I’m gonna kill you mother fucker, you and the all Israelis!” “You want a push, I’ll show you a push!” He’s a Zionist, this guy is not one of us, he’s a Zionist!” (code for Jew).

On Sunday, July 20, 2014, these violent and hateful words were combined with physical assaults against an innocent Jewish reporter in Miami, Florida. On this beautiful sunny Florida day the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) crossed a cultural and maybe legal red line by sponsoring a HAMAS demonstration where this man, a Jewish reporter working undercover was identified and attacked by an angry crowd of HAMAS jihadists.

WATCH: CAIR, FL “We are Jihad. We are HAMAS”

During the confrontation one of the HAMAS pulled out an improvised weapon and moved in to stab the Jewish reporter before someone stopped him while another CAIR jihadist made a clear, direct and profound threat to kill the reporter. All of this is in our seventh episode of our special series on the war in Israel, Operation: Protective Edge, An Inside Look – Destroy HAMAS.

Earlier in this war, The United West went on record predicting violence in the streets of America by angry Muslims, particularly those who take the teachings of Mohammed very seriously. As night follows day, the true believing Muslim understands that the war in Gaza is a battle between Allah’s “chosen warriors,” the HAMAS and the infidel Jews, supported worldwide by the infidel Christians. In that Islam is a borderless political system there is no difference between confrontations in Gaza
City or confrontations in Paris, London or Miami.

This unifying war doctrine necessarily leads to Islamic violence in the West because Islam does not ultimately respect Western law. The net result of this worldview is the shocking way in which an investigative reporter for our organization, The United West, is attacked while lawfully doing his job, on the public right-of-way in the south Florida city of Miami.

One of the breaking news elements of this story is that CAIR, the self-proclaimed “civil-rights” organization for Muslims sponsored an outright HAMAS demonstration where the participants, when not assaulting the reporter, were shouting historic death threats to Jews and shouting complete and comprehensive unity with the HAMAS, as in “WE ARE HAMAS!”

If you follow the work of The United West or Frank Gaffney, Center for Security Policy, you know for several years we have explained that a Federal court has established a harmonious relationship between CAIR and the HAMAS, thus for practical purposes, CAIR is HAMAS. Now, clearly established by the evidence we present in this show, CAIR is indeed, the HAMAS, by their own words.

This new public admittance by CAIR raises many questions that need serious investigation and serious answers form both Federal authorities and from CAIR officials. In that the HAMAS is a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designated so by the Department of State during President Clinton’s Administration, does CAIR’s sponsorship of violent HAMAS demonstrations on the public right-of-way violate any legal element of the FTO statute? If leaders of CAIR, including Nihad Awad and Hassan Shibly, now public support the HAMAS, should they enjoy the access they have to President Obama’s White House and other American institutions of influence?

The Muslim Brotherhood is another national security factor that now comes front and center in light of this HAMAS demonstration in Miami. On July 24, Rep. Michele Bachmann introduced a bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. The bill, also known as the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2014, will “impose sanctions against persons who knowingly provide material support or resources to the Muslim Brotherhood or its affiliates, associated groups, or agents, and for other purposes.”

The evidence is as simple as reading the HAMAS Charter – Article Two:

The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of Moslem Brotherhood in Palestine.

So, follow the simple logic here. If the Muslim Brotherhood is indeed designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the US Department of State and if the HAMAS is a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood and if HAMAS is CAIR, then does it not follow that CAIR is a part of the Muslim Brotherhood? Anyway you spread this humus you got CAIR in a whole heap of trouble, plain and simple. Folks, its time CAIR is exposed for being exactly what it presented itself to be on that street corner in Miami, a wing of the terrorist organization, HAMAS.

Why Do So Many Muslims Embrace Religious and Ideological Warfare? thumbnail

Why Do So Many Muslims Embrace Religious and Ideological Warfare?

By Victor Sharpe

Mahatma Gandhi is quoted in his book, Gandhi: The Power of Pacifism, by Catherine Clement, as follows:

While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees, Jews, along with several million adherents of an animistic religion, all coexisted in relative harmony, one religion that would not accept compromise stood out from the rest: Islam.

Gandhi died in January 1948 and was referring to his experience during his lifetime in the Indian sub-continent. But the growth of Wahhabism and the current resurgence in Islamic triumphalism since Gandhi’s death now poses an increasingly existential threat to the West, to Judeo-Christian civilization, as well as to Hindus, Buddhists, and members other faiths – or no faiths.

The question repeatedly posed by the talking heads on the TV networks and cable television is how and why so many Muslims, young and old, are living in the West and enjoying all the material and educational benefits bestowed upon them and committing hideous acts of terror and perpetrating atrocities upon innocent civilians, even against their very own neighbors.

The Times Square bombing attempt on May 1, 2010, by Pakistan-born Faisal Shahzad and the 2009 Fort Hood massacre of unarmed members of the military by Major Nidal Hasan (still described by the problematic U.S. administration as “workplace violence”) are well-known.  So too is the attempt at terrorism by a Somali immigrant, Mohamed Osman Mohamud, who had come to America at the age of five with his family as a refugee from the hell that is Somalia, and who attempted to kill thousands during a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon.  But until the Chechen Muslim brothers succeeded in their massacre at the Boston Marathon, most terror attacks had been thwarted since the 9/11 destruction of the Twin Towers and part of the Pentagon by the 19 Saudi Arabian hijackers, in which 3,000 people were murdered.  This time, however, the Muslim miscreants succeeded and I fear there will be many more to come.

It was the baleful President Carter who undercut the shah of Iran who jailed and restricted the jihadists and Islamic groups and who was a supporter and ally of America. Just like President Obama, who equally undercut Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the subsequent void was quickly and gleefully filled by Islamic fundamentalists and the Muslim Brotherhood who imposed sharia law and raised the banner of Islamic supremacy.

With the shah’s fall came the Ayatollah Khomeini from his exile in France, and almost immediately Carter’s foolish act resulted in a seemingly endless and most definitely humiliating imprisonment of American Embassy staff in Tehran.  Since then, Iran has fed the flames of Islamic terror around the globe, arming, and funding terror organizations such as Hamas and Hezb’allah.

Ayatollah Khomeini preached violence to ultimately conquer “the land of the infidel.”  By that he meant Israel, Christian European states, Britain, the United States, and the entire non-Muslim world. His followers throughout the Muslim and Arab world have all endorsed the legitimacy of jihad against what they falsely call the “enemies of Islam.”  Islamic martyrdom operations — specifically blowing up soft targets like the spectators at sporting events — are guarantees to paradise even if the victims are children.

So, the answer to those talking heads in the media who endlessly ask why so many Muslims commit such atrocities can be seen both in Koranic passages and in, for instance, the sickening hate indoctrination found in the terrorist-controlled Palestinian TV and radio broadcasts.

Here are some of the grisly passages from the Koran:

“Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.” Koran 2:191

“Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.” Koran 9:123

“When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them.” Koran 9:5

“Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.” Koran 3:85

“The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them.”… Koran 9:30

“Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam” Koran 5:33

“Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies.” Koran 22:19

“The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.” Koran 8:65

“Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.” Koran 3:28

“Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.” Koran 8:12

“Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.” Koran 8:60

And here are some examples of the Palestinian broadcasts that sow hate among children as young as three years of age, spawning yet another generation of terrorists and destroying hope of any true and lasting peace for the embattled State of Israel.

For example, the children’s show, The Best Home, included a scene in which a young girl recited a poem filled with messages of hate and other libels demonizing Jews.  The poem made the vile and evil assertion that Jews, “Allah’s enemies, the sons of pigs,” defiled the Quran and Jerusalem, “murdered children,” “cut off their limbs,” and “raped the women in the city squares.”

This message of vitriol — aimed at the future generation of Palestinians — not only serves to foster hatred and violence but undermines the very essence of coexistence and peace.  It poisons the minds of innocent young children instead of promoting respect for one another, which is a cornerstone for true peace.

In our politically correct world, members of the media and commentators often seek to distance Islam from so many acts of horrific violence, using terms of alleged distinction such as “radical Islam” or “moderate Islam” and so on.  But let us reflect on the words of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the close friend of Iran’s current genocidal president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

In reply to the term “moderate Islam,” which was apparently quoted to him by a Western journalist, Erdoğan said: “These descriptions are very ugly; it is offensive and an insult to our religion.  There is no moderate or immoderate Islam.  Islam is Islam, and that’s it.”

Certainly, attempting to constantly give, as liberals do, a free pass to Islamic abuses; to play down its violent ambitions of world conquest; to ignore the evident threat to Judeo-Christian civilization from sharia law and imposed dhimmitude merely encourages the violent tendencies of the followers of Islam – or what Winston Churchill in his book, the River War, called ‘‘an ideology wrapped in a religion.’’

The two Chechen brothers thus almost certainly succumbed to the hatred towards non-Muslims which proliferate in Islamic texts, on Islamic websites, and in Islamic social media.  And they are not alone.

Thoughts on the Approaching Christian Holidays, All Hallows’ Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas thumbnail

Thoughts on the Approaching Christian Holidays, All Hallows’ Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas

By Dr. Rich Swier

“Most seasonings are based on family tradition.” – Wolfgang Puck, Austrian-American chef and restaurateur.


As a young boy I most enjoyed my family’s traditions of celebrating important Christian events such as:

All Saints’ Day, also known as All Hallows’ Day, the Feast of All Saints, the Feast of All Hallows, the Solemnity of All Saints, and Hallowmas, which is a Christian solemnity celebrated in honor of all the saints of the Church, whether they are known or unknown. From the 4th century.

The first Thanksgiving which was celebrated by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in October 1621.

The Birth of Jesus Christ who is my Lord, Redeemer and Savior.

These Christian events have been and continue to be the time when my wife and I gather with family to celebrate events that have transformed us.

Sadly, today these three Christian events have become commercialized. All Hallows’ Day has become Halloween. Thanksgiving is about turkeys, and Christmas is about the fictitious Santa Claus and gifts to us, not to others in need.

The real Santa Claus dates back to 4th-century’s Hagios Nikolas, the bishop of Myra in Turkey, who became famous for his generous gifts to the poor.

Christian family traditions have become secular celebrations which have nothing to do with what is truly important.

Leviticus 20:6 reads, “And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.”

Those who don’t look at All Hallows’ Eve, Thanksgiving and Christmas as Christian traditions is breaking their Covenant with God and His Son Jesus.

Be forewarned! Galatians 5:19-21 reads, “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

Keep yourself and your family close to God.

That is the best tradition that must be practiced each and every day of one’ life.

By Dr. Rich Swier

This is day 7 of the Global War Against Islamic Terrorism.

It is the day when, according to Dr. Mahmoud al-Shajrawi, a “wonderful” fatwa has been issued to kill all Jews globally.  Watch:

It is also the day that Hamas has called for a Global Jihad against we the non-believers. Click here for a map of the know terrorist networks in America.

It is now clear that the Hamas attacks on Israel and its brutal savagery were designed to create a global jihad against Jews in particular and non-believers in general.

Hamas has called on “the entire Islamic nation to join the Jihad against Israel” on Friday, October 13th, 2023 as “a day of general mobilization for al-Aqsa.”

‘Students for Justice in Palestine’ Plans ‘Day of Resistance’

By Discover The Networks

Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), an anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian organization, is planning a “National Day of Resistance” on Thursday in support of Hamas terrorists and their attacks on Israeli civilians.

In a “toolkit” distributed within the group, SJP calls for the destruction of Israel (“dismantling Zionism”), and claims that Israeli “settlers” cannot be considered civilians at all, implying that they are legitimate military targets (regardless of age or gender).

The “toolkit” does not distinguish between a “settler” living in disputed territories such as the West Bank and ordinary Israelis living in the internationally recognized boundaries of Israel.

The “toolkit” also includes suggested graphics to use in promoting protests around the country. These include a graphic showing a Hamas terrorist descending on a paraglider — one of the methods used on Saturday to invade Israel and commit mass murder.

The “toolkit” also describes Hamas terrorism — which resulted in roughly 1,200 Israelis dead, 3,000 wounded, and some 100 taken hostage — as “natural and justified” responses to Israeli policy.

It celebrates the Hamas mass terror attack: “This action of resistance shatters the illusion of Israel as an impenetrable, indestructible entity. … Settlers are already fleeing the land, their ‘dedication’ to the settler colony is easily broken.”

The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs notes that “Principal backers of SJP include founders, financial patrons and ideological supporters who have been connected to Islamist terror organizations such as HamasHizbullahPalestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).”

In other words, the organization is just an arm of Palestinian subversion and terrorism.


Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)

  • Anti-Semitic, pro-Palestinian activist group founded at University of California’s Berkeley campus in 2001
  • Has chapters on some 200 college campuses throughout the United States
  • Supports the Hamas-inspired Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against the Jewish state

‘For Your Own Safety:’ Israel Warns Gaza Residents To Evacuate Ahead Of Sweeping Ground Invasion

By The Daily Caller

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are calling for residents of the Gaza Strip to immediately evacuate and move southbound as they prepare for a potential sweeping ground invasion.

IDF began launching airstrikes on the Gaza Strip this week in a counteroffensive effort against Hamas, which carried out mass terrorist attacks starting on Saturday that resulted in the deaths of over 1,300 Israelis and the kidnapping of hundreds more. The IDF is now issuing another evacuation order for Gaza civilians ahead of a likely invasion that will involve troops and tanks on the ground, as Hamas’ nerve center is located in tunnels deep under the city.

“The IDF calls for the evacuation of all civilians of Gaza City from their homes southwards,” IDF said in a statement on Friday. “The Hamas terrorist organization waged a war against the State of Israel and Gaza City is an area where military operations take place. This evacuation is for your own safety.”

“Hamas terrorists are hiding in Gaza City inside tunnels underneath houses and inside buildings populated with innocent Gazan civilians,” the IDF said. “In the following days, the IDF will continue to operate significantly in Gaza City and make extensive efforts to avoid harming civilians.”

Following the evacuation orders, Hamas told Gaza residents not to leave their homes and ignore the IDF’s safety instructions, according to the IDF and CNN. Hamas regularly uses civilians as human shields, and “embeds” itself in hospitals, homes and schools to deter attacks.

Hamas and Amoral Clarity by Victor Davis Hanson thumbnail

Hamas and Amoral Clarity by Victor Davis Hanson

By The Daily Caller

One unexpected blowback from the medieval Hamas’s barbaric murdering of hundreds of Israeli civilians is the revelation of current global amorality.

More than 20 Harvard university identity politics groups pledged their support to the Hamas murderers — to the utter silence for days of Harvard President Claudine Gay.

Americans knew higher education practiced racist admission policies. It has long promoted racially segregated dorms and graduations. And de facto it has destroyed the First Amendment.

But the overt support for Hamas killers by the diversity, equity and inclusion crowd on a lot of campuses exposes to Americans the real moral and intellectual rot in higher education.

Democratic Socialist members of the new woke Democrat Party openly expressed ecstatic support for Hamas’s bloodwork.

Their biggest fears were not dead fellow Americans or hostages, or some 1,000 butchered Jewish civilians. Instead they were fearful that righteous Israeli retaliation might destroy the Hamas death machine.

Palestinians for years fooled naifs in Europe and the Obama and Biden administrations into sending billions of dollars into Gaza.

These monies were channeled to tunnel into Israel, to obtain a huge rocket arsenal and to craft plans to wipe out Jews.

The Biden administration has blood on its hands.

As soon as President Joe Biden took power, he resumed massive subsidies to radical Palestinians, canceled by the prior Trump administration.

He ignored warnings from his own state Department that such fungible monies would soon fuel Hamas terrorism.

His administration dropped sanctions against Iran, ensuring that Tehran would enjoy a multi-billion-dollar windfall to be distributed to Israel’s existential enemies — another fact well known to the Biden administration.

If the Biden administration had announced overtly that it was rabidly anti-Israel, it would be hard to imagine anything it could have done differently from its present nihilist behavior.

Biden and company quickly restarted the defunct Iran appeasement deal — a leftover from the anti-Israeli Obama administration. No surprise, they appointed radical pro-Iranian activist Robert Malley to head the negotiations.

Malley allegedly has leaked American classified documents to Iranian officials and is under investigation by the FBI. He did his best to place pro-Iranian, anti-American activists into the high echelons of the U.S. government.

Biden was intent on forcing South Korea to release to Iran $6 billion in sanctioned frozen money.

That expectation of cash ensured Iran would be reimbursed for its present terrorist arming spree.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken shamefully tweeted that Israel should settle for an immediate ceasefire. No wonder he soon withdrew his unhinged posting.

That idiocy would be the moral equivalent of an American ally in December 1941 urging the U.S. to seek negotiations with imperial Japan after its surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor — to avoid a “cycle of violence.”

The Biden team has drained strategic arms stockpiles in Israel, designed to help the Jewish state in extremis.

It recklessly abandoned a multibillion-dollar arms trove in Kabul, some of which reportedly made its way from Taliban killers to the Hamas murderers.

Once the mass murdering started, the amoral clarity of our “allies” was stunning.

NATO partner Turkey openly sided with the killers. It — along with Blinken — called for a cease fire — at the moment the Hamas death squads had finished, and Israel was ready to hold Hamas to account.

Qatar, where the U.S. Central Command is based, proved little more than a Hamas front.

It offers sanctuary to the architects of Hamas killing. And Qatar ensures a safe financial pipeline to Hamas from Iran and the radical Arab world.

Some of the most vehement current supporters of the Hamas death squads were immigrants to America from the Middle East.

Oddly, they apparently had fled just such illiberal Middle East regimes to reach a tolerant, democratic, and secure United States.

Yet they now endorse the Hamas butchering of Jewish civilians. Its savagery is aimed at executing, raping and beheading Jews, and then mutilating their bodies.

Hamas apparently hopes to shock the Israeli government into voluntarily committing suicide — in line with the ancient Hamas agenda to destroy the Jewish state.

In a strange way, this reign of death has become a touchstone, an acid test of sorts that has revealed the utter amorality of enemies abroad and quite dangerous people at home.

It is past time that Americans deal with the medieval world that was revealed this week rather than keep dreaming in the fantasy world of our government.

Americans need to stop illegal immigration and restore their southern border, while ceasing all immigration from unhinged, hostile nations.

The military must return to its deterrent role and fire its woke commissariat.

Our leaders must accept that in the last three years of the Biden administration, serial American appeasement abroad, disunity at home and social chaos have encouraged an entire host of enemies — China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Middle East illiberal regimes and former friends like Turkey and Qatar.

And our enemies dream of doing to us what we just saw in Israel.

There can be no doubt that Hamas committed war crimes in its surprise attack on Israel thumbnail

There can be no doubt that Hamas committed war crimes in its surprise attack on Israel

By MercatorNet – Navigating Modern Complexities

Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups flagrantly violated international law and displayed a chilling disregard for human life by committing cruel and brutal crimes, including mass summary killings, hostage-taking, and launching indiscriminate rocket attacks into Israel.”


This condemnation comes from Amnesty International, in response to Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, which resulted in the deaths of around 1,200 individuals, primarily innocent civilians, including children and the elderly. Additionally, a staggering 2,400 people were injured, and an unusually high number of hostages, at least 150, were taken. Among them are women and children.

Amnesty has been a severe and consistent critic of Israel’s actions toward Gaza, so its condemnation of this week’s massacre carries a lot of weight.

Since the conclusion of the initial battle to expel the terrorists from the country, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been focused on neutralizing terrorists who remain concealed within Israel, checking for traps, rescuing and relocating survivors, and recovering bodies. The extent of the atrocities committed by Hamas is being revealed through a combination of security camera footage, cellphone videos, photographs from ordinary citizens, as well as professional journalists, physical evidence found at massacre sites, and the accounts of witnesses.

Numerous kibbutzim and farms were raided, and unarmed people were killed. Eyewitnesses saw Hamas terrorists intentionally shooting unarmed civilians who were trying to escape. Terrorists also started fires. Security camera footage shows hostages being taken and later lying dead in the street. Other footage shows a terrorist shooting and killing someone who is already lying on the ground, possibly from previous injuries.

At Kfar Aza, a farming community, the IDF found the bodies of civilians, killed in front of the burned wreckage of their homes. Babies were murdered, parents were murdered, and bodies were beheaded. Major General Itai Veruv told reporters, “I’ve never seen anything like this in my career, never in 40 years of service. This is something I never imagined.” As IDF personnel placed the bodies of women, children, babies and the elderly in body bags, soldiers said the dead had been “brutally butchered in an ISIS way of action.”

Eyewitnesses reported that heavily armed Hamas terrorists went house to house, room to room, killing families, “babies, mothers, fathers in their bedrooms.” One survivor said that “We got a security alert saying, ‘enter your safe room, lock the windows and doors, there are terrorists on the kibbutz.’”

Many families were not so lucky and were gunned down before they could find shelter. Others reached their safe rooms, but, when the terrorists found they could not break in, they poured gasoline and lit the homes on fire. A survivor described his family’s ordeal as “hell on earth,” like being trapped in a sauna for 12 hours, while his home burned around him. Some families baked to death in their safe rooms or were shot when they tried to run out.

Most Western countries condemned the attacks. Many Arab countries did not, and a senior advisor to Iran’s supreme leader praised it. Iran is believed to have influenced and possibly helped plan the attack. Tehran’s motive may have been to sink a possible US-brokered Israel-Saudi Arabia peace agreement. It is in Iran’s interest to prevent that agreement from succeeding, because it could signal the beginning of a coalition isolating Iran.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken travelled to Israel, and after seeing evidence of the carnage, gave a press briefing. He stated, “It’s hard to find the right words. It is beyond what anyone would want to imagine, much less see or God forbid experience… A baby infant riddled with bullets, soldiers beheaded, young people burned alive in their cars or in their rooms. I could go on, but it is simply depravity in the worst imaginable way.” He said that the horrors he saw reminded him of ISIS.

Guido Steinberg, a terrorism expert at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, told Deutsche Welle that he had always believed that ISIS and Hamas were very different, both in motivation and in tactics. But now, he has concluded, “We are fighting an organization much closer to ISIS than we had thought.”

The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia established legal precedent that can be used to analyse the Hamas attack on Israel. The attack meets the definition of an armed conflict. Therefore, according to the United Nations, Hamas must abide by the Law of Armed Conflict and International Humanitarian Law. Taking civilians hostage is prohibited under international humanitarian law and the International Convention against the Taking of Hostages. Targeting civilians, massacring civilians, and using civilians as human shields are all prohibited. At least one of the hostages seen in Hamas videos was a young female Israeli soldier who appeared to have been raped. The United Nations and the Geneva Convention both identify rape as a war crime. There are videos of bodies being beheaded and corpses being danced upon or otherwise desecrated. Under the Geneva Convention, mutilation of corpses is also a war crime.

That Hamas is guilty of war crimes is clear. And the world is planning a response.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that she is considering various sanctions against Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah. The EU initially said they would suspend aid to Palestine, but Brussels now seems to have backtracked a bit. Israel has asked the EU to follow Washington’s lead and impose sanctions. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has blamed Iran for backing Hamas. It remains to be seen how far Europe is willing to go and which country or entity they may be willing to impose sanctions on. In the meantime, Blinken has called on Hamas to release the hostages immediately and unconditionally.
