Hamas ultimatum: we will televise hostage executions

The Hamas terrorist group has threatened to record executions of Israeli hostages unless the Jewish state winds back its bombardment of the Gaza Strip, in a brutal ultimatum for the country as it prepares massive retribution against the militant group.
I cannot see a way that these poor wretches can be saved. But there are several aspects that flow: whether the gutless msm covers what no doubt will be acts as heinous as anything ISIS did; whether the Israeli’s retribution, including hopefully the capture and drawing and quartering with camels of the hamas scum will be invested with moral outrage by the same msm. Whether iran suffers consequences ranging from strategic attacks on its assets or a nuking.
I really think any person in this country who supports what hamas has done and will do should be treated as a traitor. It won’t happen of course but it should. But a lesson here: if ever you are in a terrorist situation: going down fighting the scum in the first instance or surrendering and subsequently being tortured and executed is not a choice.
Serious Question.
At what depth below ground level or through obstacles will infrared sensors work? (I mean the detection of body heat. Apologies for any misuse of terminology).
“I cannot see a way that these poor wretches can be saved”
I spoke to an Israeli girlfriend today. We both said we’d rather be dead that endure what the captured women, if any remain alive (and I have my doubts), are enduring.
By the way, here’s a fact, a plain, stone cold fact, and that is rape and sexual slavery of Jewish and Christian women are core tenets of Islam and Islamic jihad.

It’s alright. They’ll look ’em up on facebook over the next few weeks, then go & have a stern talk to them.
Point #4 that springs into mind when downloading shedloads of horrific rape/murder/kidnap/torture videos uploaded by Hamas on Saturday:
4) Some of these videos are stomach churningly horrific. I’d never look at ’em again & never want anyone to see them, unless the need arises. The images cannot be bleached out of the mind.
As savage as these video clips are, the most horrific, most savage of the Hamas videos, are about level with the mildest of the images from South African murders of white farmers, of which many are far more sadistic, cruel, far more horrific in the torture, far more nightmare causing in their primitive brutal sadistic savagery, than Hamas could dream up.

Depends on obstacle material. If the obstacles are leaves from trees there are certain IR wavelengths that can go straight through that, which is exploited by LIDAR to map the ground underneath tree canopies. But that is basically the only situation where IR works. It will be blocked by any material you’re likely to find in residential rubble.
What you need for seeing through concrete is microwaves – radar basically.

These tunnels are in sand. Sand which is currently being subjected to heavy air strikes and artillery and will soon face the weight of tanks and armoured vehicles. Even reinforced ones will likely be crushed, or buried under the rubble of buildings.

I’m no expert on police matters, but wouldn’t it have been more efficient and mindful of public safety to arrest the bustards on the spot rather than playing chase the rat games now? Especially when their cop protectors were standing right there when they broke the law.
It’s been 3 days. Just how many of them have been arrested? Any? So when is this ‘full force of the law’ to be applied?

One or two of the crowd will be arrested after the police have made a deal with the local Imams. Then they will get a fine that the Imams will pay for them.

Hamas are maniacs, but not exactly dumb.
One wonders what hell is awaiting the Israeli ground force when they break into Gaza.
No doubt it has been turned into a nightmare defencive trap using unlimited Iranian weapons and Obama funds.
The seige is an indiscriminate tactic but will save Israeli lives.
Gazans have always had the option of revolting against Hamas but chose not to.
Consequences.
I do not believe the lefty propaganda pitch that Gazans hate Hamas.
Higher.
There are two million Israeli Arabs in Israel and they are just as bloodthirsty as Hamas, when you lift the rock and check underneath it.
If Israel had less restrictive firearms laws it would be impossible to keep them from arming up. And when Hamas attacked guess what they’d do.
Israel tries to keep the Israeli Arabs quiet, they have the vote and are treated as citizens. Restricting firearm ownership to Jewish Israelis would feed the claims of apartheid that have dogged Israel for a long time. So they couldn’t do it that way. I think the current arrangements are as best they could politically dare to do – since there’re obviously enough firearms in the community that when an Arab goes postal they are usually potted pretty quickly.
All bets are off now though, and the government has justification to establish an effective apartheid and keep firearms out of the hands of the Israeli Arabs.
This is why I think and always have that subsidies for electric cars and solar panels are immoral. Governments take tax money that was collected from all of us, even the poorest in the form of GST, and give to rich people who can afford these luxuries in the first place.
Another iniquity is that with more and more people living in high rise apartments they will never be eligible for such largesse in the form of subsidies yet must contribute to them for the rich single dwellings owners who can afford a partial cost. This must be particularly galling in the current mortgage squeeze.
When you look at who benefits it becomes clearer why the rich and the comfortably off vote for Labor and Greens.
More own goals for Yes campaigners – flying the aboriginal flag at the pro-Palestinian hate marches (they aren’t demonstrations).
People do notice who you are allied to, numpties.
The Iranians don’t have unlimited supply of weapons, it’s the ones Biden and Milley have left in Afghanistan that are being used by Hamas and those will run out eventually, particularly the ammunition.
In my mind Milley and his fellow Chiefs of Staff are just as culpable, if not more so, than Iranians. They are not stupid so it had to be deliberate.
From the Oz…
“Israeli soldiers discover the remains of 40 babies and young children, many beheaded, in a Hamas massacre at the kibbutz of Kfar Aza | Warning: graphic content”
I am trying to clear my throat before I begin this, and I’m trying to remain calm.
Firstly, where’ the pervert apologist? Note his silence? No condemnation of the Sydney Hamas get together, where there were screams of “gas the Jews”……a protest where NSW police stood by and looked on. Yet, you can bet your bottom dollar that our resident grub would have been littering these pages if a group of “far-right” men and women had assembled on the steps of the Opera House, let off flares, burnt an Israeli flag and screamed, screeched and shouted….”gas the Jews”. And you bet your bottom dollar that NSW police would have moved in if that protest had been done by a group of “far-far-right men and women”.
I suppose there’s one good thing in all of this, although I’m struggling to find anything “good”, but that is that the infected scab that is progressive puke hypocrisy has been torn off, including the scab that is our resident slimy grub. I’m sure he thinks the above was done because of Palestinian “legitimate grievances”? Beheading babies is “legitimate grievances”? Who knew? If anyone here still wonders why I’m so hard on the despicable grub, the above is why. The same pervert apologist who comes on here thumping his chest like some cartoonish magilla gorilla stating that he wants to “punch Nazis”, but here’s the truth, he and his ilk are now well and truly exposed for being the true Nazi apologists, for being the true Nazi supporters, for being the true Nazis.
So, please let me thank you for that, it’s always good to have clear air.
Decapitated babies is what Israel is now dealing with. I repeat, there is no moral equivalence between Israel and the Palestinians (and there never has been), but I should not even have to state this. Whether you agree with Israel dropping bombs on Gaza, whether you agree with the settlements, whether you agree with Israel’s right to exist, if you refuse to stand up and condemn the above then you are a Jew hater, you are a Nazi sympathiser, you are a Nazi. So, my message to the grub, to Burke, to Bowen, to the Greens, to Woollahra councillors, when you engage in moral equivalence, when you archly proclaim that you’re not “anti-Semitic”, you’re just “anti-Zionist”, the scab is off and this bullshit won’t stand (not that it has ever stood with me). I know who are the Nazi apologists, I have always known.
Some further thoughts….
I note Annie above rightly said that…
Please don’t insult animals. These terrorists committed pre-meditated utter brutality and murder.”
Annie is right, these Hamas terrorists, those terrorists on the Opera House steps, those spineless men and women in Labor and the Greens, those Palestinians who are engaging in moral equivalence, they’re not animals, even a salt water crocodile in Darwin Harbour possesses more moral fibre than those aforementioned murderers and their apologists.
I note that Jews are not safe, even in Australia, and don’t anyone dare accuse me of hyperbole because we Jews have been officially informed by no less than the NSW Police and the NSW government that we “are not safe to walk the streets of our cities”.
It is all clear now. I’m normally quite a vivacious person, as those Cats who know me can attest. But my vivacity has been diminished over the last few days. I am finding it very hard to smile, and I don’t think I can laugh for a long time.
Not entirely true. I read accounts by three survivors of the ‘Rave’ last night in which they describe their being rescued in the desert by ‘Israeli Palestinian’ families who drove down from the north specifically to do search and rescue of surviving Israelis.
Perhaps but a drop in the bucket, but better than none at all.
“There are two million Israeli Arabs in Israel and they are just as bloodthirsty as Hamas, when you lift the rock and check underneath it.”
Not true.

Translates mathematically to roughly the eqivalent of 25,000 deaths.
To be honest, I have seen heaps of AK-47 variants and RPGs in the hours of videos I have reviewed, but very very few US manufactured weapons of any sort. I’d note that many IDF, Police, and Community Security posts were overrun on the 9th and presumably their weapons were seized by the Hamas scum.
It’s also very difficult to imagine how those AFG weapons and ammunition would have gotten smuggled from AFG into Gaza so fast.
I’m the last one to give Biden and his minions ANY pass on what they did in Afghanistan, but it appears that this meme stretches reality a bit.

Kind of getting sick of the attempted drawing of parallels between this conflict and Ukraine/Russia.
All the civilised world needs to do is sit back and not interfere with Israel taking out the Hamas human garbage.
It sure does suck if you live in Gaza.
Maybe something to think about when you see Hamas moving around more rockets in history and decided to do nothing about it.
Also maybe something to think about the next time you vote (even though they haven’t had presidential elections in 17 years they’ve had local elections that are supportive of Hamas).
Zatara is right about the US supplies left behind in Afghanistan.
Those tribal leaders would not let anything out of their grasp as they expect to use it (that which doesn’t need maintenance) against their rivals.
This Cartoon sums up Hamas & Their Australian Palestine Supporters
The Bee nails it with the headline … “Emporer Hirohito requests cease fire after Pearl Harbour attack”
With two million Israeli Arabs I expect you could easily find 20,000 observant fighting males. Hamas long ago penetrated the Israeli Arab community and has said several times they are trying to get them involved.
Hamas: ‘We will bring Israeli Arabs into the next fight” (Jun 2023)
And they’re already inside the borders, and all over the country, not just concentrated in the SW corner. But without firearms it is hard to stage a widespread assault. There’s only so much you can do with knives and cars.
The IDF so far have collected 1,500 dead Hamas and IJ jihadis from Israel territory. Perhaps twice as many as that invaded.
Having 23,000 jihadis roaming around everywhere rather than 3,000 in the southwest, the result would be far far worse. Tel Aviv would be a nightmare.
Last time was in 2021 when Hamas fired a couple of thousand rockets after one of their commanders was killed. Israeli Arabs then rioted and attacked Jews.

Contrary to what a lot of media types say, it is pretty easy to leave Gaza.

As is describing hamas terrorists as civilians.
The French closed down mosques used as weapons storage/ terror cells.
Where do people think Hamas plotting planning storage was happening.
mosques used as war rooms are legitimate targets
It’s been over a year since the US buggered out of Afghanistan and left all the hardware there, plenty of time to move it around.
The first thing that caught my attention were the cloth covered guns in the hands of Hamas savages yet they were not concerned about masking their faces. Why would that be if not to hide their provenance.

I’m aware of what happened in May 2021. You can link to as many links as you so desire. The truth is that there are Israeli Arab Druze in the IDF, some of whom are no doubt in the army about to enter Gaza, some of whom stand and sing the Hatkivah. There are even some Israeli Arab Christians in the army. It is simply untrue to state that there are million Israeli Arabs in Israel who are just as bloodthirsty as Hamas, when you lift the rock and check underneath it.”
Hamas terrorists ‘beheaded babies during kibbutz slaughter where 40 young children were killed’: IDF soldiers reveal families were killed in their bedrooms – ‘not in war, not a battlefield… a massacre’

Hamas kills 40 babies and children — beheading some of them — at Israeli kibbutz: report
Hamas terrorists slaughtered at least 40 babies and young children — decapitating some of them — at a kibbutz near the Gaza border, shaken Israeli officials and reporters at the scene said Tuesday.
“It’s hard to even explain exactly just the mass casualties that happened right here,” visibly distraught i24 News correspondent Nicole Zedek said during a broadcast from Kibbutz Kfar Aza near Sderot about a quarter-mile from the Gaza Strip.
“Babies with their heads cut off, that’s what [the soldiers] said. Gunned down. Families gunned down, completely gunned down in their beds,” Zedek said of the “sheer horror.
“This is nothing that anyone would have even imagined,” she said.
Top CNN reporter Nic Robertson, dressed in a military helmet and flak jacket, said, “There were so many murdered members of this Kibbutz.
“Men, women, children, hands bound, shot, executed, heads cut,” he said.
French journalist Margot Haddat added in a translated tweet, “It’s so macabre that no one wanted to reveal it until they had 100 percent confirmation.
“It is a horror, a massacre. For those asking for the source. They are multiple: Israeli army, internal intelligence service and atrocious images which reached me and which I was able to cross-check,” she said. “But the best source remains this: courageous journalists from the foreign press who were able to see / agreed to see with their own eyes the bodies in Kfar Aza.”
Kfar Aza was one of several Israeli kibbutzim attacked by Hamas over the weekend when extremist militants crossed from Gaza into southern Israel and unleashed a barrage of violence that gave way to an all-out war between the two sides.
Around 70 Hamas terrorists are believed to have carried out the atrocities at Kfar Aza with guns, grenades and knives, i24 News said.
“It’s not a war,” said Gen. Itai Veruv, head of the IDF’s Depth Command, to reporters. “It’s not a battlefield. You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms, and how the terrorists kill them. It’s not a war. … It’s a massacre.
A fair-dinkum, no bullshit miracle.
Has to be.
They’d be throwing murderous tantrums around the world
if someone had done a spot of judicious tearing for X clout.
Right?
Why would they care about hiding their provenance? To avoid embarrassing Biden?
Wrapping weapons in cloth is a method of keeping sand out of the action in the desert. It’s also a common way to break up their outline so as to camouflage them, especially by wanna-be commandos like Hamas (i.e. it looks cool).
Crossie, why would an Afghan thug give up any weapons.
They’re the only thing keeping from other thugs killing them.
They don’t give a shit about Gaza or Israel.
They just care about being able to be thugs in Afghanistan.
Husband and I just heard about the massacre of the babies in the kibbutz at Kfar Aza. Husband aghast. How is it possible? I said it is because these butchers regard the Israelis as vermin. One has to reach deep into archival history to find the immoral equivalence of what was done in Kfar Aza – although the recent history of IS does equate.
This news literally weakens your heart & spirit. The sheer evil of it takes the life out of you.

It is hard to accept imams as being muslims’ spiritual leaders when they behave like military leaders.

While ABC and other news outlets persist in their moral equivalence between the IDF and Hamas and the actions of the past few days, they can only be viewed as giving comfort to terrorists and behaving as their propagandists.
This is a legitimate reason to shut the ABC down.
Barr (7) yesterday was at great pains to talk about casualties “on both sides” as if the two things were equal. They aren’t. She’s seen the pictures, read the reports. She knows. They all know.
As for the Greens and their support of these lunatics (and forget the weasely “it’s Palestine not Hamas” excuse) the Labor government should undertake to reject any support from these criminals on the floor of Parliament. That would be the decent, righteous thing to do.

Egypt seems to’ve gotten on top of the Sinai insurgency, which was mostly claimed by ISIS, and I suspect they really don’t want another bunch of homicidal maniacs to have to deal with.
Interesting background info:
Complicates the Hamas was acting under Iran’s direction line of argument.

From shatterzzz’s link:
Yeah, but videos show you partying your asses off on 9 Oct, shooting guns in the air, celebrating your great “victory”, handing out sweets to the kiddies, etc..
So, sucks to be you.

Take the “I’m happy” Lakemba imam who sounded more like Russell Crowe with his “Tonight we dine in hell”

Today, I wake and I’m even more disgusted/sickened with the murders of Israelis civilians.
If it is possible, I am even more angry at the apologists of these murders of women and children.

Snatching individuals form a hostile crowd of up to 1000 would have risked a riot. Getting them one at a time from their homes or workplaces might be less fraught with the risk of violence, albeit harder to do for large numbers.
It’s incredible.
Steve Dribbler watches the war like he’s watching a cartoon but refuses to condemn “let’s not kill anymore children” Andrew Tate, who is obviously shilling for Hamas.
Cremation so that they can finally be a useful part of the land?

WATCH: Trump predicts war in Israel 2 MONTHS AGO after Joe Biden’s disaster deal with Iran
I repeat my comment of last night about the undesirability of complimenting the enemy by using their chosen name. I’m writing of h@m@s of course.
Using a (clever) derogatory alternative does not absolve them of responsibility for their actions.
Why give this reptilian breed (h/t Dr. Faustus?) a pat on their scaly backs by addressing their existence respectfully? How might they have addressed their unarmed victims prior to inflicting a torturous death?
On a voluntary basis, amongst ourselves, one of the few things we stunned & distant observers can do is control the language we use. In the greater scheme, it will change nothing, of course, but I refuse to act politely in any form towards such monstrous entities.
It probably could, as could other geophysical techniques, such as resistivity. The problems for all of this is the relatively small size of a tunnel and the shallowness.
The size means whatever survey you used would have to be closely spaced to detect the anomaly (the tunnel) – with line spacing comparable to the width of the tunnel. It also means ground survey, rather than airborne.
Not sure how that would work out in terms of logistics and military control of the area being surveyed.
The shallowness means that the tunnels are likely driven through broken and non homogenous ground. Under these conditions the return signal is likely to be confused and difficult to discriminate.
The Lakemba imman broke a truck load of laws as well as acting in a manner antithetical to Australian morality.
Bluntly, he is a disgusting pig who acts illegaly.
The fact that he is still at large demonstrates that the threat (even latent threat) of violance which is a favoured muzzie tactic in democracies is entirely effective.

It is for Dribbler, yes.
True. But halting the march and standing up in front of them with a bullhorn quite literally reading them the riot act would have given fair warning and enforcing the law of no marching without a permit would have either solved the whole thing before it got started or caused the riot ‘we had to have’.
Instead they enabled the law breakers and reinforced the idea that they are powerful enough to do what they want regardless. I’d wager my last dollar that instead they were given the “go ahead but be nice” signal from the cops or their highers.
If cops can’t or are unwilling to enforce the law (except against the law abiding) it’s high time the public knows that.

Must’ve been a carelessly thrown cigarette.
There is a crossover population size where this happens and the latent threat of violence controls government behaviour (see Europe over the past 40-50 years for multiple case studies).
In liberal democracies this results in no-go areas and ‘community policing strategies’ designed to minimise the social consequences of easily roused rage.
For those in the activist business, this is a rich avenue of upward control of the host community.

It would really be starting up now. Fixed mortgages were offered below 2.5% up until about October 2022.
My prediction: PAIN.
Good. Then pi55 off, Trot.
Here are a number of videos of the terrorists. But not a US weapon to be seen. Plenty of AK-47 variants, RPGs, etc. but no M-16s, M-4s, M-60s, M-203s, M-240s, LAAWs…
Perhaps other videos show them? If not it’s a moot point.
In my opinion, the entire Australian security state — from state police forces up to and including ASIO — is now on the side of Middle Eastern terrorists.
In particular, the NSW police force is one of Hamas’s useful idiots abroad in protecting Australia’s wannabe Islamic terrorists in Sydney.
Sydney residents should now have zero confidence that their police force will protect them from terrorists: wokeness has propelled the police force backwards since the Lindt Cafe terrorist siege.

I was unaware until yesterday that the demonstration did NOT have a permit. The police should have stood in a line in front of them, with horses in support (good enough for grannies unhappy about COVID restrictions, good enough for unauthorised demonstrations). and ordered them to disperse. If they failed to do so, then start the arrests, and continue them until morale, sorry, compliance improved.
Completely agree.
If not now, when?
Minns has reportedly denied permission for a second pro-Hamas demonstration.
NSW police will have no excuses now.
UK-based research group forecasts the nation will vote No by 61 per cent to the Yes campaign’s 39 per cent at Saturday’s referendum after polling 4,500 Australians and modelling the outcome in every seat.
Presented with eight possible reasons to vote No, 18 per cent of participants ranked ‘there are other things, like the cost of living, that need fixing first in Australia’ as their primary reason.
A further 19 per cent said it was their secondary reason to vote No, while another 19 per cent said it was their third reason – meaning 56 per cent of No voters in total consider it one of their top three reasons.

Trees are racist.
I’ve just run into a prominent person who writes for the Oz. We often have lively chinwags when we run into each other (he likes my rants), but this morning I told him I was quite depressed about what has happened, and particularly so that I’m no longer safe in my own city, having been duly informed of this by the NSW police and government.
I told him what I witnessed on Monday morning at Town Hall, and he told me what he witnessed on Monday night, he was attending a function in offices, and they heard and saw the commotion of the Nazis walking down to the Opera House, and those Nazis were being personally escorted down to the Opera House by the NSW police.
This is exactly what happened at Pell’s funeral, when the far-left scum were personally escorted past the cathedral doors by NSW police.
I can’t find the words to express my outrage.
James Morrow:
Like the Greens?
Luckily, the UN is taking strong measures:
Commission of Inquiry collecting evidence of war crimes committed by all sides in Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories since 7 October 2023
I suspect that the baby killers will now be shitting themselves at the prospect of having to face the International Criminal Court.
Minns has reportedly denied permission for a second pro-Hamas demonstration.
I doubt this ever happened.
As posted earlier, I can’t see the I.D.F. being too interested in taking prisoners, or accepting surrenders in the Gaza Strip.
“Just don’t shoot them in front of any news cameras.”
DrF summary execution is the only response, International Criminal Court is just like the UN, a gravy train.
All this talk of protests without a permit and unsavoury things said at said protest is short sighted – the real point is that citizens MUST be free to (peacefully) assemble and MUST be allowed to say their piece. That some of them say things we dont want to hear is the price we pay for freedom. Free speech isnt free if we restrict speech we dont like.
Minns in the Oz just now:
He said pro-Palestinian protestors would not be allowed to take to the streets again, with further rallies planned for this weekend.
Peer reviewed study published this month in New Microbes and New Infections finds a significant reduction in mortality rates for covid patients given low doses of HCQ.
Seems there’s a second pro- Palestinian protest planned in Melbourne .
Morrow may have got this wrong.
Rev. Leach was at the Town Hall and waved the Israeli flag. He was chased by Islamist goons and ran in fear of his life. He was offered assistance by police, who had little other choice given the circumstances.
The gentleman who waved the flag at the Opera House (Mark Spiro) was arrested and taken away by police to “keep the peace”. He was later released.
Advocating violence is not, and never has been, an acceptable use of free speech.
See Popper’s paradox of freedom.
Both men named Mark – shining, polite, hammer, brave
They lived up to their parents’ choice.
Do we really want to live in a society where the government is the final arbiter of who can protest?
Remember the motto of the UN:
“By the time we turn up, everyone’s dead”
Hmmm. Well, I sit corrected.
Get back to me when they identify some of the hate-speeching ‘roid boys amongst the sociology students, and pick them out for cuffing.

Until an angry mob gees itself up with things “we don’t want to hear”, marches off quite freely and attacks the innocent.
“If it is possible, I am even more angry at the apologists of these murders of women and children.”
Umm…yes…..as am I. I think Melanie Phillips has said it best in a piece she’s uploaded in the last 24 hours….
‘A community forged in pain’
Murdered at their home on Kibbutz Nir Or: Yonatan and Tamar Kedem and their children, Sharar and Arbel, 6, and Omer, 4. May their memory be a blessing.
I am in Israel, where the sense of collective grief, horror and anxiety is off the scale. The situation that unfolded last Saturday is beyond the worst Israeli nightmare.
As thousands of missiles were fired into Israel from Gaza, around one thousand Hamas terrorists stormed across the border fence and attacked communities in towns, villages and kibbutzim across the south of the country.
Their aim was the mass murder of Israeli civilians. They went from house to house slaughtering the occupants and burning down their homes.
They gunned people down in their cars; they killed elderly men and women and small children; they hacked one Israeli to death with an axe. At an open-air music festival, armed paragliders mowed down at least 260 young people who were raked with gunfire as they ran for their lives.
Women were raped and burned alive; the bodies of murdered Israelis paraded around Gaza were stripped naked, spat upon and desecrated; babies were slaughtered in front of their parents; mothers with children in their arms were abducted and swallowed up with others in Gaza’s subterranean infrastructure of terror tunnels to be used as hostages. Their likely fate is unthinkable.
Heartbreaking images are now seared forever into the mind: an elderly, terrified Holocaust survivor being abducted into Gaza without the medication needed to keep her alive; a small Jewish child, alone and bewildered, being tormented on a Gaza street by Palestinian children who are all taught to hate and murder Jews.
Israel has been at war many times. It has experienced many terrorist atrocities and many thousands of rocket attacks.
This was something different. Barbarism and depravity against Jews on this scale hasn’t been experienced since the Holocaust.
In a country that arose from the ashes of that genocide, the spectacle of Jews being dragged from their homes to be slaughtered, raped or captured, with desperate parents throwing themselves on their children to protect them as the parents were murdered, was unspeakable.
This wasn’t just terrorism. This was a pogrom.
At time of writing, the number of those murdered has risen to more than 900, with 2400 wounded and between 100 and 150 being held captive in Gaza. Israel is a tiny country of some nine million people. The equivalent of this toll in Britain would be 6,300 murdered, 16,800 injured and 700-1050 taken hostage.
Because Israel is so small, there’s hardly any family that hasn’t been caught up in this. Most Israelis have children, grandchildren or other relatives who have been called up from this conscript army’s reserves to serve on the front lines.
Hardly anyone doesn’t know of someone who has either been murdered or dragged into the Gaza hellhole. Untold numbers of Israelis are grieving, traumatised or frantic with anxiety about their relatives who have either been killed or are in harm’s way.
And the emergency for the domestic population is still very much on. Twice while writing this piece, I had to leave it and and seek shelter as the air-raid sirens started once again to wail, followed by the boom of the anti-missile Iron Dome intercepting (I hoped) more bunches of rockets aimed at Jerusalem.
More alarmingly, an unknown number of Hamas infiltrators are still at large. We’ve been told to keep off the streets wherever possible. Schools and many cafes and restaurants are shut. People are too frightened to travel to work.
We have other terrors. There’s the fear that a second, even more devastating front may open up in southern Lebanon, where Iran’s proxy army Hezbollah has installed some 150,000 missiles which can reach the whole of Israel.
These missiles, some of which have already been fired, have been sited (as in Gaza) among homes, schools and hospitals, with the Hezbollah using Lebanese civilians as human shields against any attempt by Israel to destroy the terror infrastructure.
And there are fears that a third front may also open up among the Iran-radicalised Palestinian Arabs of the “West Bank”, cheek by jowl alongside central Israel’s communities.
Yesterday, the IDF’s Home Front command released instructions telling Israelis to make sure they are stocked up on food and water for at least 72 hours. It advised that safe rooms be stocked with water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, phones and battery-powered radios along with mobile charger banks, first aid and other essentials. This is the clearest signal that the war may soon become far more devastating still for the civilian population.
Despite or because of this, there’s a tremendous and uplifting feeling of camaraderie here, a real sense of “we’re all in this together and we’ll get through it, whatever lies ahead”.
People are queueing to donate blood, volunteering in hospitals and on army bases, or cooking batches of food to send to the young conscript army now facing untold peril on the front lines.
The horrors that we’ve all seen have brought people together. Everyone is looking after each other. And with so much to cause grief or dread, so many at present need that support. This is a community forged in pain, as well as hope.
Our anxieties are compounded by what we all know. We all know that the real enemy we are facing in this onslaught is Hamas’s paymaster, Iran.
We all know that the Biden administration’s unconscionable appeasement and funding of both Iran and the Palestinians helped facilitate this pogrom.
We all know that the nine-month internal Israeli battle over the composition and policies of the Netanyahu government weakened Israel and advertised this vulnerability to its foes.
We all know that the Palestinian Arabs’ century-old war of extermination against the Jewish homeland has been sanitised, encouraged and further incentivised by western liberals, who spread the Palestinians’ lies about Israel and for whom Jewish victimhood gets in the way of the “progressive” narrative of Israeli “oppression” and Palestinian “resistance”.
I divide my time between Jerusalem and London. But at present I wouldn’t want to be anywhere other than in Israel, sharing this latest seismic development in the destiny of the eternal people.
Jews are well integrated, deeply committed citizens of western countries, to the credit of all concerned. Most British Jews wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
But our history as Jews teaches us that not only is our Jewish identity formed by living as one people alone; we fight as one people alone, and we die as one people alone. We have no other choice. The world has made it so.”
It is the progressive left across the West who’ve enabled these Nazis.
Libertarian philosophy addresses this – dont hurt people, dont take their stuff – UNLESS they do it to you…..

How odd then that they don’t remind whites of that at all.
Between 1882 and 1968 there were approximately 4743 people lynched in the US. It’s true that 3446 of them were blacks, but 1297 of them were white. Not all involved hanging and contrary to popular lore, these lynchings took place throughout the US, not just in the southern states.
Alas, it’s no longer surprising to find supposed centers of higher learning promoting this A-historic feux victim hood.

The covid narrative is being deconstructed one lie at a time.
Screaming “gas the Jews” is not free speech.
Last November, Russia introduced a motion in the UN, to “Oppose Nazism”.
Led by our intellectually challenged PM and vile Foreign Minister, Australia abstained.
This, is where we are, in 2022, the Australian Govt, cannot bring itself to support a motion, to oppose Nazism.
After the unforgivable atrocities committed on the weekend and the lack of compassion shown by virtually every deadsh*t piece of garbage, representing Labor and the Greens,(but the despicable Bowen and Burke in particular), the UN vote now becomes more understandable.
Universities are offering Indigenous staff and students to apply for special consideration for their assignments and time off due to a rise in emotional trauma from the Voice to parliament referendum.
In a letter sent to staff on Monday, University of Melbourne Deputy Vice Chancellor (Indigenous) Barry Judd said Indigenous students are allowed to apply for special consideration for specific exams or assessments.
The university has also implemented special leave provisions for Indigenous staff for the remainder of 2023, with managers and supervisors asked to recognise the “burden” requests for commentary on the referendum has imposed on staff.
Such support will be available for students and graduate researchers struggling with trauma associated with the referendum until the end of the examination period on November 17.
