Iranian Dissidents Rebel Against Regime by Supporting Israel, Opposing Hamas
https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2023/10/25/iranian-dissidents-rebel-against-regime-by-supporting-israel-opposing-hamas/

According to the opposition-run Iran International on Tuesday, the regime in Tehran has pushed too hard with pro-Hamas propaganda, prompting a growing number of Iranians to turn against the Palestinian terrorist gang and sympathize with Israelis instead.

Iran International has a tendency to play up the travails faced by the Iranian theocracy, but its analysis on Tuesday is not without precedent. A constant theme of popular discontent with the ruling regime over the past few years is that Iranians think their government spends too much money on terrorism and sabotage in foreign lands. These complaints have grown more energetic as the Iranian economy contracts, and protesters ask why Tehran spends so much on arming Hamas, Hezbollah, and Shiite militias in Iraq instead of attending to domestic concerns.

Iran International argued that “four decades of propaganda by the Islamic Republic to garner support for its anti-Israeli campaign seems to have backfired as many Iranians want defeat for Hamas.”

The Iranian public also seems apprehensive that its rulers will drag citizens into a war with Israel and the United States:

Both in the actual world and on social media, Iranians have been showing strong opposition to the government’s pro-Hamas and anti-Israeli narratives as well as unusually vocal support for Israel in the Gaza war. “Neither Gaza, nor Lebanon, I will sacrifice my life for Iran,” has been a popular slogan for protesters, students and even football fans.

… As the war in Gaza began, Iranians noticed brand new cars belonging to Palestinians who were leaving Gaza City in response to Israel’s warning. Iranians shared images of these vehicles on social media, serving as a reminder that the government had been portraying Palestinians as impoverished for decades, all the while they were driving luxurious cars. This highlighted the stark contrast with Iranians who were struggling with high prices for poorly manufactured Iranian and Chinese vehicles.

In numerous videos from Gaza, Iranians also observed that Palestinians were living in homes and new apartment buildings that were much better than those in Iran.

Iranians struggling to put food on their tables were incensed by a rumor that their government was handing out stipends of up to $600 per month to Hamas fighters, about triple the average wage in Iran.

Palestinian terror boss Ziad Nakhaleh of Islamic Jihad won no favor with the Iranian public by sneering on October 20 that Shiite Muslims were not welcome in his organization, which adheres to Sunni Islam.

The mullahs give money to Palestinians, while letting Iranians languish. Persians and Arabs are rivals.

NYT Admits It Relied on Hamas Sources to Blame Israel for Gaza Hospital Attack
https://www.dailyfetched.com/nyt-admits-it-relied-on-hamas-sources-to-blame-israel-on-gaza-hospital-attack/

The New York Times has admitted it “relied too heavily on claims by Hamas” in its recent report blaming Israel for the Gaza hospital attack.

The Times released a statement on Monday, five days after running its headline, which read: “Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say.”

“The Times’s initial accounts attributed the claim of Israeli responsibility to Palestinian officials and noted that the Israeli military said it was investigating the blast,” the editors’ note said.

“However, the early versions of the coverage — and the prominence it received in a headline, news alert and social media channels — relied too heavily on claims by Hamas, and did not make clear that those claims could not immediately be verified.”

Times editors also acknowledged that “the report left readers with an incorrect impression about what was known and how credible the account was.”

The same newspaper that denied that Holodomor occurred in Ukraine in the 1930s.

Shani Louk ‘beheaded’ by Hamas after she was kidnapped at music festival and paraded by terrorists: Israel
https://nypost.com/2023/10/30/news/shani-louk-kidnapped-at-israeli-music-festival-found-dead/

The young German-Israeli tattoo artist who was paraded through the streets of Gaza after being kidnapped by Hamas has been found dead after “sadistic” terrorists “chopped off her head,” Israel’s president revealed Monday.

“I am truly sorry to report that we have now received news that Shani Nicole Louk has been confirmed murdered and dead,” President Isaac Herzog told the German newspaper Bild.

“Her skull was found,” he said, with the 23-year-old victim’s family also confirming that the death was confirmed by DNA on parts of her skull.

“This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis.

“It is a great tragedy and I extend my deepest condolences to her family,” the president said, according to a translation by i24 News.

Hamas is like ISIS.

Israel to Hamas: No Cease Fire -- Surrender Unconditionally or Die
https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/10/30/israel-to-hamas-no-cease-fire-surrender-unconditionally-or-die-n588775

“This machine cannot be stopped,” declared Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant earlier today. At the very least, Israel will not stop the IDF, now fully unleashed in Gaza, short of total victory. Instead, Gallant offered Hamas a different deal, which sounds remarkably like Hamas’ true ‘offer’ to the Israelis.

“Die or surrender” sums both up nicely, no?

This is the same ‘deal’ that Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran have offered Israel for decades. It’s the same deal that the other Arab nations offered between 1947 and roughly 1979, too. For the last sixteen years, Israel has hoped that withdrawal from Gaza might moderate those enemies similarly as Egypt and Jordan moderated their own stances toward their existence. October 7 finally proved that Hamas and Iran have no intention of deflecting from their extermination goals when it comes to Israel and the Jews.

In other words, the Israelis have finally and fully internalized the existential threat Hamas represents to their country and to Jews everywhere. So does Benjamin Netanyahu, who sent a similar message to world leaders and foreign media this afternoon as well. Calls for a “cease fire” constitutes a surrender, and Israel will no longer play along with Hamas annihilationists:

“Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities after the horrific attacks of October 7,” says Netanyahu in comments in English to the foreign media. “Calls for a ceasefire are a call for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terror, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen.”

Netanyahu says nobody would have called on the US to agree to a ceasefire following the Pearl Harbor attack during World War II.

The prime minister says there must be a “moral distinction between the deliberate murder of the innocent, and the unintentional kind of casualties that accompany every legitimate war,” in comments on the death toll of Palestinians in Gaza.

Hamas is given the ultimatum. Surrender Unconditionally or Die.

Hamas official promises: 'We'll repeat Oct. 7 massacre until Israel is annihilated'

A spokesman for the Hamas government in Gaza has promised that the terror organization will repeat the October 7 massacre until Israel ceases to exist.

In a video published on X, formerly Twitter, Hamas' Ghazi Hamad says, "We will repeat the October 7 attack time and again until Israel is annihilated."

He also claimed, "We are victims - everything we do is justified."

Guarantee he isn't saying this from Gaza, can't find a definite answer to where this gutless wonder is, but the interview went out on Lebanese TV, so he may be a little closer than the Farquad's (Some of you will die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make) who make up Hamas "leadership".

Hamas terrorist recounts in horrifying detail how he slaughtered women and children in Oct. 7 massacre: ‘Our mission was to kill’
https://nypost.com/2023/11/01/news/hamas-terrorist-admits-to-killing-women-and-children-in-oct-7-massacre/

A Hamas terrorist admitted in haunting detail his role in killing women and children during the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, according to a new interview video.

Omar Sami Marzuk Abu Rusha, a member of Hamas’ Nukhba special forces, was seen discussing his murders in a video released by Israel’s Shin Bet internal security department on Wednesday.

Abu Rusha told the interrogator that he was among the forces deployed to Kfar Aza, near the Gaza border, tasked with a single purpose.

“Our missin was to kill. We were not supposed to kidnap, only to kill,” he said. “To kill every person we see and come back.”

As he recounted his role in the mass murderers that left more than 1,400 dead, Abu Rusha noted the harrowing moment he and his fellow gunmen slaughtered a group of children hiding from them.

They are evil.

Hamas leaders worth staggering $11B revel in luxury — while Gaza’s people suffer

While their people languish in poverty and are treated as human shields, the leaders of Hamas live billionaire lifestyles.

The terror group’s three top leaders alone are worth a staggering $11 billion between them and enjoy a life of luxury in the sanctuary of the emirate of Qatar.

The emirate has long welcomed the leaders of the terror group and installed them in its luxury hotels and villas at the same time as hosting a vast American military presence.

Now Republican Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles is co-sponsoring a bill that would strip Qatar of its status as a key US ally, The Post has learned, unless it kicks out the Hamas leadership.

The terrorist group, which is responsible for the antisemitic Oct. 7 massacre of more than 1,400 innocent civilians in southern Israel, continues to hold 200 hostages in Gaza.

The Hamas leadership live like kings. Everyone else struggles.

Plight of Iran’s Jews a reminder of its terror against women, minorities - opinion
https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-772342

Iran International is a Persian-language news television channel headquartered in London and it is against the Iranian Ayatollah regime. This channel recently reported that due to threats faced by the Iranian regime, members of the Iranian Jewish community have been forced to cut ties with their relatives in Israel. This comes at a time when the Iranian regime is forcing members of the Jewish communities in Esfahan and Tehran to protest against the State of Israel.

Following the incident on October 17, in which a missile fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad fell on the Baptist Hospital in Gaza, the Tehran Jewish community was forced by the Iranian regime to issue the following statement: “Every free human being is hurt now because of the news about the hospital where people were killed by an enemy who has no conscience and is very violent.”

The Tehran Jewish community issued this statement, even though it has been confirmed that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad was responsible for the attack on the Gaza hospital. An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by the PIJ terrorists in Gaza, passing close to the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit.

Meanwhile, the Tehran Jewish community was completely silent following the October 7 massacre, when Hamas slaughtered innocent youths at a music festival, burned people alive in their homes, decapitated babies, and raped numerous women. This silence remains, even though there are many parallels between how Hamas, a proxy of Iran, acted in the areas they invaded in southern Israel and how ISIS committed genocide against the Yezidi community in Iraq.

The mullahs are forcing Iranian Jews to protest against Israel.

Iran does far more than terrorize the Iranian Jewish community and support Hamas terrorism against Israel. Indeed, Iran routinely terrorizes, abuses, and oppresses the country’s Azerbaijani, Turkmeni, Kurdish, Ahwazi, Balochi, Christian, Mandean, Bahai, and other communities. In Iran, it is illegal to be a member of the Bahai faith. Members of the Bahai faith are routinely imprisoned, executed, tortured, and denied access to higher education and decent employment.

Ethnic minority groups like Azerbaijanis, Ahwazi Arabs, Balochis, and Kurds are denied access to higher education in their mother tongues, which condemns them to a life of poverty. Members of ethnic minority groups who protest against this situation are executed, imprisoned, and tortured. Some Azerbaijani women have even been executed because they were unable to wage a defense in the Persian language in court, yet it is dangerous for the Azerbaijani community to protest against this.

The mullahs persecute people of different ethnicities and religions.

Israel Announces Take No Prisoners Approach to 'Journalists' Who Participated in Hamas Attack
https://redstate.com/bonchie/2023/11/09/israel-reveals-what-it-will-do-to-journalists-who-particpated-in-hamas-attack-n2166098

Participated

In perhaps the most surreal news since Hamas entered Israel on October 7th, slaughtering 1,400 people, it was revealed on Wednesday that multiple "photojournalists" accompanied the terrorists as they attacked.

As RedState reported, multiple "photojournalists" who were contracted by outlets like CNN and the Associated Press, posted pictures of themselves riding into Israel with Hamas. In some instances, actual Israeli hostages can be seen. Their presence alone raised a myriad of questions surrounding what these "photojournalists" knew about the timing of the attack. Obviously, they had prior knowledge, otherwise, they wouldn't have known to be there. Instead of reporting what was going to happen to those who could prevent it, they happily participated.

Perhaps more disturbing was the possibility that the U.S. news organizations they were working for knew what was going on. On that front, both the AP and CNN put out statements categorically denying they were told what was going to happen. They also severed ties with the "photojournalists" in question.

To be clear, when I say "participated," that's exactly what looks to have occurred. One picture, uploaded by one of the "photojournalists" to his own Facebook page, shows him actually holding a grenade.

Photojournalists contracted by CNN and AP were following terrorists when they followed Israel.

Well, if these "photojournalists" thought they had immunity for participating in a terrorist attack, they thought wrong. According to Israeli UN representative and Knesset member Danny Danon, they will be added to the termination list.

Israel's internal security agency announced that they will eliminate all participants of the October 7 massacre.

The "photojournalists" who took part in recording the assault will be added to that list.

— Danny Danon 🇮🇱 דני דנון (@dannydanon) November 9, 2023
Some are already crying foul over the decision, but what else should Israel be expected to do? You are not a journalist when you carry a grenade into a terror attack while not offering any warning to the thousands who are about to be killed, injured, and taken hostage. This is not a situation where someone was legitimately embedded during a war.

Here’s Where AP, Reuters, NYT, and CNN Got Their Oct. 7 Hamas Photos and What It Says About Palestinian ‘Civilians’
https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/11/09/heres-where-ap-reuters-nyt-cnn-got-oct-7-hamas-photos-what-it-says-palestinian-civilians/

How did The Associated Press, Reuters, The New York Times, and CNN obtain their photos of Hamas terrorists carrying out their horrific attack on Israel on Oct. 7? What does it reveal about the Gazan “civilians” that Hamas uses as human shields as Israel responded with military force?

On Wednesday, a media watchdog called HonestReporting published an article asking how these U.S. news outlets got their photos and suggesting that the outlets had embedded photojournalists inside Hamas as the terrorist group slaughtered at least 1,400 civilians in Israel. A former freelance journalist for AP, Hassan Eslaiah, appears in a photo with the leader of the Hamas massacre, Yahya Sinwar.

Israel demanded answers. Nitzan Chen, director of the Israeli Government Press Office, demanded explanations from each of the four major news outlets. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office released a statement saying that it “views with utmost gravity that photojournalists working with international media joined in covering the brutal acts of murder perpetrated by Hamas terrorists.”

“These journalists were accomplices in crimes against humanity; their actions were contrary to professional ethics,” Netanyahu’s office added.

Each news organization told The Daily Signal that it had no prior knowledge of the terrorist attacks and received the photos they used from freelancers. Three of the four outlets said they no longer work with those freelancers.

The journalists with the terrorists that attacked Israel are accomplices.

As the Israeli military approaches Hamas’s headquarters located inside the Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, the Islamic terror group believes that the IDF will not strike the site, the interrogation of terrorists captured on October 7 reveals.

The nabbed terrorists, who took part in the last month’s massacre of Israelis, admitted under interrogation that Hamas was exploiting Israel’s consideration for civilians lives to use Gaza’s largest hospital, which houses more than 500 beds, for storing weapons and explosives as well as hiding its terrorist top brass as they direct attacks on IDF ground forces and order rocket barrages against Israeli civilians.

Hamas hides weapons in hospitals and schools. Hamas's headquarters are at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

On Thursday, the Israeli military captured a Hamas drone and weapons factory adjacent to kids’ bedroom in northern Gaza. “IDF soldiers discovered a Hamas weapons manufacturing and storage facility used to produce and store UAVs and weapons. The site was located in a residential building, in close proximity to schools in the center of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northern Gaza,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) disclosed in a statement. “In the building, Hamas’ explosives and operational plans were found right next to a children’s bedroom.”

The weapons factory and depot, which contained explosives and bombs, was located near a school. “The Israel Defense Forces says the building, in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, is located next to a school,” the Times of Israel noted. “Footage shows troops finding several Hamas drones in the building, as well as equipment used to manufacture them, and instructions to make explosive devices. It says troops also recovered a number of bombs at the site.”

We learn hate for Israel on TikTok and Instagram say young protesters
https://nypost.com/2023/11/11/news/we-learn-hate-for-israel-on-tiktok-and-instagram-protesters/

Young people tearing down posters of Israeli hostages and launching waves of anti-Israel demonstrations say they’re being fueled by thousands of pro-Palestinian videos, mainly on TikTok and Instagram.

Ripping down posters and lavishing praise on those who do has become a trend ever since Hamas terrorists took 240 Israelis hostage during their Oct. 7 terror assault on Israel.

More than a dozen protesters interviewed by The Post in Manhattan said their opinions about the Israel-Hamas war were shaped mainly by Instagram and TikTok accounts — and to a lesser extent their school professors.

They were at a rally on Thursday attended by at least 2,000, many of them under-30s who had skipped school to join the anti-Israel spectacle.

Zara Asif, 17, who came with her classmate Manoor Javed, 16, from New Utrecht High School in Bensonhurst, said they have both been inspired to go to pro-Palestinian rallies around the Northeast and Washington DC by watching TikTok and Instagram videos.

TikTok is a source of antisemitism.

Recommended chants included, “Resistance is justified when people are occupied” and “Say it loud, say it clear, we don’t want Zionists here!”

Oberlin College Under Federal Investigation For Campus Culture Of Antisemitism

After years of fighting antisemitism at her alma mater, Oberlin College graduate Melissa Landa has finally had a breakthrough. In September, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) announced it is investigating the charges she filed against the school back in 2019.

Thanks to a Trump-era executive order, the OCR probe could cost the school millions of dollars in federal funding.

Legal Insurrection readers have had a break from nonstop news about Oberlin, whose six-year court case with Gibson’s Bakery was doggedly covered here until it ended last December. But this high-stakes legal battle puts the school back in the spotlight.

And it comes amid a nationwide surge in campus antisemitism emboldened by the October 7 Hamas massacre: From thousands of miles away, the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust unleashed the worst outbreak of antisemitic attacks on college campuses that anyone can remember.

Ugly Hatred of Jews on Full Display at Concordia University in Canada

The vile anti-Semitism we have been witnessing on American college campuses is also playing out at schools north of the border.

Students at Concordia University in Montreal set up a table exhibit calling for the release of hostages in Gaza and things got out of control quickly.

The Jewish Journal reports:

One Arrested, Three Injured in Confrontation Between Pro-Palestinian Protesters, Pro-Israel Students at Concordia University

One person was reportedly arrested and three were injured in a confrontation between pro-Palestinian protesters and pro-Israel students at Concordia University on Wednesday.

A series of videos of the confrontation, which happened in front of a table set up calling for Hamas to release the hostages, have gone viral on social media. The videos show the pro-Palestinian protesters chanting, “Free Palestine” and “Ceasefire Now” toward the Jewish students. One video appeared to show a female pro-Palestinian protester calling a Jewish student a “f—ing k—” and accusing the student of “pinkwashing.” Other videos appeared to show students shoving each and needing to be restrained and students in an apparent tug of war with an Israeli flag.

The Montreal Gazette reported that, according to Montreal police, a 22-year-old female student was arrested for allegedly assaulting a 54-year-old security guard; a 19-year-old security guard and 23-year-old student also sustained minor injuries in the clash, per the Gazette.

CTV News Montreal spoke to Concordia student Eitan Kovac, a witness to the clash, who said shortly after the table was set up, pro-Palestinian protesters began yelling at them. “People were seconds away from assailing others, throwing stuff,” Kovac told the outlet. “We had a few incidents where people were throwing water bottles at us or decided to come to our booth and try to remove the Israeli flag or to remove pictures or posters of children, infants, elderly or anyone in between that is currently kidnapped and in Gaza.”

How naive is that? A new piece of video illustrates that it's incredibly naive.

Hamas "police" can be seen hitting Gazans as they try to get food from the truck, which is painted in UN white, though that may just be a coincidence. In one frame, something that resembles a machete is swung.

Where's the food heading? It's heading to feed Hamas fighters as they hide in their tunnels like the weak betas they are. This is the reality of "humanitarian aid" in regard to Gaza. Western leaders continue to pretend otherwise, either because they are vapid or because they are willfully dishonest. It's easier for Joe Biden to talk about a pause than stand up for what's not just right, but what is reality.

That's really what it comes down to. Political cowardice is what drives every call for more  "aid" to Gaza. It's not based on an actual expectation that the people that need it will get it. Biden may be senile but his handlers are smart enough to know where the money, food, and fuel are going to end up. They don't care, though, because if they fully support Israel's right to destroy Hamas, they'll receive global pushback.

Scoop: What were @AP, @Reuters, @CNN & @nytimes Gaza freelance photographers doing inside Israel on October 7? Coincidence or were they part of the plan? https://t.co/KcdXMd4DYF

What were they thinking? What were they doing? Why didn’t they alert Israel about the impending attack or alert Israel when the true evil taking place in front of their “embedded with Hamas” eyes became crystal clear? Obviously, U.S. intel knew about these intel-directed ‘journalists’ embedded with Hamas, so there was no need to alert the White House. They already knew.

Now they are reportedly in panic mode because things didn’t go as they expected (the destruction of Israel is far from nigh, and the American people are far from siding with gruesome barbaric evil over our historical ally Israel), and they are trying to cover their cowardly terrorist-supporting (-colluding?) butts.

Where there must have been Pulitzer dreams dancing in their heads, now it’s all heads in the sand. Denial, denial, denial.

News media appear to have known what Hamas did before they attacked.
