Another ‘oh, but’ moment for the Pali sympathisers coming up (the Hun):
Hamas fighters were planning to use deadly cyanide poisoning on civilians when they attacked Israeli villages, according to claims by the President of Israel Isaac Herzog.
Details of the plan to unleash chemical weapons contained on USB devices found on the body of a terrorist, was revealed as Israel agreed to a “continuous flow” of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
And:
Using chemical weapons on the Jews?
Nice, Palis. Nice. I would love to hear the justification for this.

I despise multiculturalism, but I suspect that it has suffered from creeping incrementalism. Taking Palli refugees would probably be the final straw.
Thinking back, when Al Grassby started multiculturalism, I think his plan was to increase the influence of Italians in the Labor Party, which was pretty solid Anglo-Saxon at that time. Then the Greek and Yugoslav members jumped on the bandwagon, but the beneficiaries were still Europeans with a broadly Christian culture. Note that the focus was narrowly on Europeans, Whitlam was adamantly against bringing Vietnamese here. They lacked the socialist acculturation of the southern Europeans.
The real failing belongs to Malcolm Fraser (the Liberal Party should never elect leaders named Malcolm, just as Labor should never elect leaders born in Wales). In what might have been a woeful attempt to outflank Labor on multiculturalism, Fraser gave the Lebanese concession in 1975-76, against strong bureaucratic advice.
Since then, Labor has, successfully, again outflanked the Stupid Efffing Liberals, by bringing in as many Middle Easterners as they can get away with. Labor then became convinced that Chinese, and to a lesser extent Indians, would be susceptible to the magic of multiculturalism.
I suspect that many of the Chinese and Indians are less enamoured of multiculturalism than the middle Eastern Muslims, and will soon tire of it, but Labor is now fully committed to the Muslims, as they were to the indigenous activists (but less so to the remote area aboriginals) with Da InVoice.
Doom beckons.
Ah, no. Tories.

Quite a few of our friends are Jewish, both in oz and across the Pacific. Every single one that I or wifey has talked to over the past few weeks sounds like Cass.

This is exactly how they feel and we non-Jews should understand the feelings the Holocaust conveys.

Thank you Zulu for posting that and I watched the entire video.
So, in 1788, what Sovereign Nation was here on this Continent? There was none. The tribes that lived around Port Jackson when the British turned up had NO idea that there were other tribes in the Torres Straits, Tasmania or the Pilbara or anywhere else. Unless next door to them. They had no idea that a load of people would turn up on their doorstep with Big Ships and say – HELLO, here we are. In English.
So here is the Truth Telling. Probably 300 Tribes and 300 languages. That is NOT a Nation. Where was the Government? Where where the Leaders? Where was the Flag? Where was the Army? Where were the Police? Where were the Farmers? Where and I can go on and on. There was NO Aboriginal Nation. FULL STOP.
I have been feeling flat and what not lately. Then when I heard how Trump called Pratt’s son a Red haired weirdo, I nearly shat myself laughing.

The Israelis annihilated the Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian air forces on the ground in 1967.
Actually, Israel attacked the Egyptian forces first in 67. There was also one time, I think they crossed to border to beat up the Haz in the 80s. They’re not sitting ducks.
Yeah, & in a remarkable coincidence, the one time Israel did attack, the neighbours had pretty much their entire army perched on the Israeli border & more or less got wiped out in the one, unprovoked, sneak attack by Israel.
Wonder how that came to be?

Just for the heck of it, this afternoon I read the Amnesty Australia Twitter feed, back as far as the 5th of October.
Topics covered:
Israel’s inhumanity.
Israel’s war crimes.
India’s shame (voting down SSM)
Support for the Uluru Statement from the Heart
Peaceful Protests in western cities (pro-Palestine protests, natch)
The horrors of collective punishment of Gazans.
Israel should back off from hitting Gaza.
The horror & shame of Israel’s destruction of a hospital in Gaza.
China’s human rights situation… mumble, mumble.
Israel’s war crimes.
The Shame & Racism of the unbelievable Referendum result in Australia.
Urging Israel to “start” respecting the law.
Etc. etc. etc.
Notable omission: Nothing, absolutely nothing about the sadistic depraved rape, murder, kidnapping, carried out at a music festival, or of entire farm families being slaughtered in their beds & homes on the morning of the 7th of October.
Nothing. Not a mention. In fact no tweets at all that day.
First tweet is on the 8th, deploring the horrible situation of both sides.
Not one mention, ever, of the 200 or so innocent hostages held in Gaza.
Amnesty, who used to stick up for prisoners.
I cannot wait until next I’m in the big smoke & encounter these bastards with a trestle table in the Queen Street Mall.
In fact I relish the opportunity.

Greg Sheridan in the Oz has a piece on anti-semitism.
It contains six paragraphs (most of which I agree with) on Christianity, and two sentences on Islam. One of which is “The Koran, like the Christian New Testament, contains disparaging passages about Jews.”
Talk about false equivalence!
Someone’s hit with a cluebat moment: from the comments re ‘the unsigned letter’ written by disappointed activists re the Voice:
Salvatore, Amnesty haven’t received any money from us for a long time now. They are a totally captured organisation, and I suspect they only chose to support the prisoners of conscience whom they approve of, not any prisoner held under illegal rulings or in dreadful conditions.
Haven’t heard a peep from them about the ‘held without trial’ Jan 6 protesters in the US, have we ? Nor concern re the white farm families in South Africa being murdered and tortured without pity. No care there from amnesty. So the ignoring of crimes of humanity against innocent Israeli civilians is par for that course. These crimes don’t rate a mention; it’s Gaza, Gaza, Gaza and Israel without analysis is blamed for any deaths there.

Why anyone would listen to Kate Carnell is beyond me.

The London plod’s excuse for standing and doing nothing whilst Islamist supporters screeched “Jihad” against Jews and Israel just two days ago is a corker! According to the geniuses in the London plod, ‘jihad has a number of meanings“. Wow wee, oy vey! Who knew this? Well you see, I did happen know the meaning of “jihad”. It means ‘struggle’ in English, and whilst the word can be used in a number of different contexts, if you hear it used at a protest against Israel and Jews, like in London on the weekend, it’s meaning and context is very, very clear. Hearing cries of ‘jihad’ screamed, shouted and screeched at a protest is a specific and very direct call for followers of Islam to wage a physical struggle against people like me and the state of Israel.
So, perhaps this new “interpretative contextual policing” is why the NSWanssee police stood by, did nothing, and allowed Islamist and leftist protesters to screech, shout and scream ‘gas the Jews‘ on the steps of the Sydney Opera House just two weeks ago? Perhaps the geniuses in NSWannsee plod also thought that the cries of ‘gas the Jews’ has a number of meanings and depends on ‘context’?
Modern policing. Be scared, this Jew is.
I get it….
Rape isn’t really rape when the victims are Jews.
Murder isn’t really murder when the victims are Jews.
Decapitating babies, butchering children isn’t slaughter when the victims are Jews.
Taking hostages isn’t breaking any laws when the hostages are Jews.
Inciting violence across the West doesn’t count when the targets are Jews.
Cassie, Cassie, Cassie, it’s those legitimate grievances again!
As JC wrote about his friend above…

Yes. And there is one thing I’m now sure of, and that is ‘we Jews don’t count’.
These are the same people who arrest Christians for praying outside abortion clinics.

She’s had more pricks in her than a second hand dartboard.
I’ve long had a lot of time for Tommy Robinson, a working class man who, like Katie Hopkins, has been calling out the problems of Islam in the UK, the rape gangs, and general UK dhimmitude for years now. For their thought crimes, both Robinson and Hopkins have been demonised, marginalised, ridiculed, smeared by the UK establishment, including many on the right like Nigel Farage, along with established UK Jewish organisations like the useless UK Board of Deputies.
In the wake of the UK weekend protests, with the screeches of “jihad” ringing across London, a city that once upon a time had bells chiming, where Muslim men now pray in front of Downing Street, and make no mistake, both are palpable Islamic threats to the UK, Tommy Robinson has uploaded a video (I can’t find the original) but Mahyar Tousi (another dark skinned, far-right, white supremacist of sub-continent origin) has posted Tommy’s very perfectly accurate rant…..

Extinction Rebellion Climate Activists ‘Occupy’ International Criminal Court to Protest Israel (23 Oct)
What exactly has Israel got to do with climate change? This sudden antisemitism from these green activists, like the Stinkies and Greta, is weird. I don’t think they’re winning people for Gaia by doing this.
Haaretz today is particularly hostile towards the government , seems like the fighting the common enemy together is forgotten, overridden by politics and ideology.
And the records are sealed
Epitectus would be disappointed.
Anyway, I searched for “the masses are so incurably deluded and the elite are so incurably corrupt” on Google and apparently there is only one result on Quora about how bad Republicans are about not trusting government.
Don’t tell me Google isn’t part of an authoritarian psy op.
Weird how many people condemn the Israelis for cutting water and electricity to to Gaza – it is a non-lethal strike. Amongst more advanced cultures, such as Neanderthals, such a threat would at least prompt a re-appraisal of strategy.
Not so the Palis.
The people of Gaza are either unwilling hostages to Hamas, in which case everyone should be cheering Israel on as they seek to destroy the oppressive little turds keeping the Palestinians prisoner, or those Palestinians are willing and complicit, in which case they are not mere innocent victims – which means that collateral damage (as opposed to deliberate targeting) of the population is legitimate.
I don’t know what Dave Chapelle is on about.
Climate activists couldn’t give a stuff about the climate. They’re communist radicals campaigning for the drowning of the capitalist free market by Big Government socialism.
They’re the Chinese Communist Party’s useful idiots in the West.
Ordinary people see it. Our governments don’t because the bigger the government, the more power that politicians have over our lives — especially in the suffocating Australian nanny state which treats voters like naughty children.
They used to say “any publicity is good publicity” .. Hopefully, in this case they’ve got it wrong .. Pity they didn’t include the street address to make it easier ……!

I disagree. As governments get bigger, the only power that they have is the limited power granted to them by the bureaucracy, which permits ministers to sign and announce the decisions of the bureaucrats. The latter regard the voters as unworthy of their attention.

Grampians: Covert culture cops drop in for a chilling home visit – with threat of $346,000 fine
Exclusive
By john ferguson
Associate Editor
@fergusonjw
8:46PM October 23, 2023
No Comments
Public service investigators armed with rare search, seizure and entry powers are using draconian cultural heritage laws to threaten Victorian rock climbers and others with heavy fines of more than $346,000 per offence.
Victoria’s First Peoples-State Relations unit is covertly using vehicle registrations and other on-the-ground intelligence to decide whether Grampians National Park users should be prosecuted under cultural heritage laws.
A rock climber’s house has twice been visited by a First Peoples unit investigator who works within the Department of Premier and Cabinet, with a direct claim that a vehicle registered in their name has been connected to possible cultural heritage breaches.
Read Next
Investigator Adam Green claimed that on October 18 the unnamed owner’s vehicle had been identified in multiple alleged offences, which also could potentially be dealt with under the Crimes Act.
This is the most significant move since rock climbing was banned in 2019 in large parts of the Grampians – one of the world’s top locations for the sport’s elite, including free climber and Hollywood star Alex Honnold.
Under the state’s Aboriginal Heritage Act, tangible and intangible cultural heritage is protected, with huge fines for anyone interfering with heritage, even if it is invisible.
Parks Victoria has shut down large swathes of the Grampians from access, including to climbers, walkers and campers, allegedly to protect cultural heritage such as rock art. Much of the rock art is invisible to the naked eye but experts – and rock climbers – accept there is some significant art worth protecting.
The policy, which involves virtually no transparency over the content of the cultural heritage assessments, has largely killed the global rock-climbing industry in the Grampians.
Mr Green works in the First Peoples-State Relations section of DPC, and the department is ultimately controlled by new Premier Jacinta Allan.
His letter to the climber, who has sought the help of the Australian Climbing Association Victoria, was left after officials twice visited the address.
“I am requesting the name of the person in charge of the above vehicle on specific dates in relations to breaches of the Act,’’ it reads.
“The current maximum penalty exceeds $346,000 for an individual found guilty under section 27 of the Act.’’
Parks Victoria made a series of false or unverifiable claims about rock climbers when it pushed to oust the pursuit from large parts of the Grampians.
This included allegations of vandalism that have never been substantiated, although climbing chalk and bolts are visible in some areas.
ACAV president Mike Tomkins said the Victorian government was now aggressively moving to shut down most of the Grampians to public use.
“It’s pretty horrible it’s happening,’’ he said.
Opposition Aboriginal affairs spokesman Peter Walsh said the legislation lacked the ability for people who are prosecuted to appeal.
“There should be the opportunity to appeal,’’ he said
What do my Opera House-going friends think of the despicable Tim Minchin being basically the creative director for the 50th-anniversary celebrations?
And who’s to blame for that?
It speaks to the decline of Australian culture over the last two generations.
Everything to do with ‘first peoples’ in Victoria is shrouded in secrecy.
Anything to do with Aboriginal heritage is just stand over merchant, this is what you must pay, no negotiation, no time frames for completion.
And driving around looking for alledged breaches and forcing stop works?
Also par for the course.
It’s costing Victorians millions and nobody has any recourse.

It’s just emblematic of your Clean Green Future
Complexity and false hope is eating the crown of Australia’s Net Zero transition — the Snowy 2.0 Pumped Hydro scheme.
Things have gone from “debacle” to Soviet Grade Industrial Fiasco.
After Florence-the-tunnel-borer got stuck and created a sinkhole, workers spent seven months trying to shore up the ground, playing God against the mountain — pumping in grout, cement and polyurethane foam.
But the foam made a gas so toxic the tunnel had to be evacuated.
To make things worse the workers were originally told the gas was water vapor but it turned out to be isocyanate.
At every point the Snowy Hydro team hid the bad news and issued propaganda, and it’s only taken the ABC a year to tell us the workers predicted the sinkhole, and three months to investigate the safety breach.
Still, that’s better than the NSW regulator who knows all the other safety breaches but won’t even share them, because it’s so bad ” it may affect the contractor’s reputation.” (Which it surely just did anyway.)
This is your low-carbon future. It was supposed to cost $2 billion but the bill is $12 billion.
It was supposed to be finished, but it’s barely begun. Florence the tunnel borer was meant to have dug a 15km long hole through the mountain, but it’s only bored through 150 meters. It did about a weeks worth of progress before being stuck for 19 months.
They knew at the start things were doomed, but did it anyway.
Workers drilled ahead and hit soft ground only 100m from the opening. Water gushed out, proving there would be mass mud within. But they filled the hole and went ahead anyway. They were supposed to have a slurry system in place, to cope with the mud, but it wasn’t there.
In just 8 weeks the borer was predictably bogged — wallowing in up to 4 feet of water. Drowning perhaps in fantasies of building a sacred weather talisman.
Do normal industrial projects, given normal scrutiny, go so wrong, for so long?

‘Labor’s Revolutionary Agenda to Destroy Australia’
With the Voice Referendum ‘done’, it’s now both possible and necessary to recognise and understand the broader ‘revolutionary’ agenda that is the gameplay of the Albanese Labor government.
The Voice was an attempt to make a ‘revolutionary’ change to the legal structure of the Australian Constitution and, from that, the institutions under which we are governed and allowed to lead our lives.
The broader revolution runs alongside and is consistent with the Voice agenda and is about legal transformation – capturing core institutions and then, through that, transforming Australia.
Focus should return to Labor Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ long article published earlier this year. In it, he committed to a ‘revolution’ of Australian capitalism without being specific about what that meant. But specifics are now emerging. Take just three initial examples…

Ahead of its time in poking the woke monster
Snowy Hydro is all that is emblematic of Australia’s decline. And could be used as a metaphor for Teh Voice.
Lack of due diligence and consultation.
The attitude of our elected flogs that “she’ll be right mate!”
Wasting dollar after dollar on something that has no practicality.
The reporting on this project, or lack thereof from incurious journalists.
The hubris of said elected officials like Bowen to not have a plan B.

It’s time to decentralise powers in Canberra to smash its toxic group think and boost regional jobs after huge ACT Yes vote tally showed the territory is out of touch
The ACT’s astounding 60.8 per cent Yes response to the Voice while the rest of the country voted completely the other way shows it’s in its own world, writes Will Kingston.
One of my favourite pieces of legislation passed by the Australian Parliament is the Seat of Government Act 1904.
The Act paved the way for the creation of our beloved national capital – the great, bustling city of Dalgety. And the rest is history…
Well, counterfactual history.
Dalgety was too far from Sydney for the NSW Parliament to accept, they stubbornly refused to cede the territory, and the establishment of our nation’s capital was delayed until a site closer to Sydney could be found.
In 1908, everyone finally agreed on a plan B: Canberra.
No doubt many of Dalgety’s 252 residents sit down for a schooner at the Buckley’s Crossing Hotel on an evening and toast the bullet they dodged.
To our forebear’s credit, Canberra was a brilliant choice.
Keep the politicians away from the bright lights of Sydney and Melbourne.
Drop them in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to do other than debate policy and herd sheep.
Sadly, sometime between the arrival of the flat white and Questacon, the great Canberra experiment took a turn.
The rot, long suspected, was revealed by the outcome of the Voice referendum.
At time of writing, with 80.2 per cent of the votes counted, the national vote and the ACT vote are, remarkably, precisely inverse: Australia sits at 60.8 per cent No, and the ACT sits at 60.8 per cent.
Yes. Every state and territory voted No with comfortable-to-resounding margins, except for the ACT.
If this outlier was produced by any other state or territory, it wouldn’t be as big a deal.
Victorians would keep calling Queenslanders “bogans”.
Queenslanders would keep calling Victorians names not suitable to print.
The world would keep on spinning.
But our capital territory is home to our politicians, the bulk of the public service and the parliamentary press gallery.
In other words, the people who make, administer and report on the decisions that affect you.
The isolation of Canberra, once its greatest advantage, has become its fatal flaw, with three insidious consequences.
First, groupthink pervades our capital like a parasitic mind virus.
The aforementioned institutions parrot the virtues of diversity, while enforcing rigid conformity of thought, coupled with an intolerance of the views of everyday Australians.
This is why Canberra’s response to the Voice defeat has been to champion the misinformation agenda.
Second, political-corporate backslapping is endemic in the capital.
It doesn’t take long for ethical lines to blur between politicians, civil servants, and lobbyists when they all frequent the same Canberra cocktail bars night after night.
We have recently witnessed the extraordinary power of Qantas’ lobbying apparatus to encourage the Federal Government to make decisions against the national interest.
One wonders how effective those lobbyists would be if they didn’t have the opportunity to bump into our leaders in the corridors of power.
Third, limiting well-paid (some may say overpaid) public service jobs to one city is robbing regional areas of employment opportunities.
The regional areas that need those opportunities the most are the remote Indigenous communities that virtue-signalling civil servants claim to care so deeply about.
The old, practical barriers to decentralising the public service no longer apply in a post-COVID world in which you can work and learn remotely via a laptop.
Sure, scientists still need labs and soldiers still need barracks, but that leaves tens of thousands of public sector jobs in Canberra that could be performed remotely in regional areas.
Public service decentralisation was last on the government agenda in 2017, when the then-Coalition government announced plans to move as many departments as possible to regional areas.
It didn’t really go anywhere.
The Coalition discovered that it’s hard to move people and things out of Canberra, it’s even harder during a pandemic and it’s darn near impossible after you’ve been booted out of office.
The referendum has highlighted how urgently we need to restart the decentralisation conversation.
Snowy 2.0 is emblematic of the staggering obstinate anti-scientific stupidity that infects the tiny minds of greenfilth zealots. It should never have made it off the drawing board.
$12 billion (seriously, WTF?) down the toxic cavernous plughole and it’s now unlikely to ever be completed, which is probably a good thing, given that it would have consumed more electrickery than it produced. Which is the kicker right there.
Lunacy on stilts – and no one will ever be held accountable.
Chris Minns reverses policy on Treaty:
Will not proceed beyond consultation until after the next election.
BB – I hadn’t seen your comment (I swear) – nice to see we think alike about that absolute stinker of a greenfilth turkey.
Instead of moaning about how hard it is to move public servants out of Canberra, I’d suggest the Coalition should reconsider the powers Canberra has arrogated to itself since federation and particularly since WWII.
Without the unnecessary powers the departments are redundant along with the public servants who man them.
Will not proceed beyond consultation until after the next election.
This is how elections should work.
Outline your policy framework.
Take it to an election.
The terrorists’ confessions: We beheaded people, set fire to houses with people inside
Interrogations reveal Hamas offered $10,000 and an apartment to anyone who abducted an Israeli to Gaza.
The Shin Bet and Israel Police published a joint statement this evening (Monday) summarizing the results of the investigation so far into the Hamas massacre of over 1,400 people in southern Israel on October 7, Simchat Torah.
The investigation revealed how Hamas encouraged the murder of men, women, and children of all ages, as well as the taking of hostages back to Gaza.
From the interrogation of six terrorists who were captured in the wake of the massacre, it was discovered that Hamas offered significant financial incentives to anyone who successfully kidnapped an Israeli, with abductors promised $10,000 and a free apartment.
The detainees also stated that “the instructions were to kidnap elderly women and children,” and “to clear the houses, and kidnap as many prisoners as possible.”
One detainee described how he shot a dog in one of his victims’ houses. Another described how he and his fellow terrorists grabbed a 15-year-old girl from her home and took a selfie with their captive before putting her on a motorcycle to Gaza.
One detainee said: “There was a body lying on the floor, I shot her. The commander shouted at me why I was wasting bullets on her body. We finished killing and then before we finished we burned down two houses with their occupants inside.”
The Shin Bet said that the interrogations reveal that the terrorist forces that raided the communities of southern Israel received clear and explicit instructions to kill and kidnap civilians including the elderly, women, and children.
In addition, the senior commanders of Hamas hid in bunkers in Gaza while sending their men to kill, be killed, or be captured in Israel.
All the terrorists in their Shin Bet investigations gave detailed information about the morning of the raid and the massacre in the Israeli towns and also provided valuable information that has already been used and will continue be used to attack military targets in the Gaza Strip.
“The security forces of the State of Israel will settle accounts with all the terrorists who participated in the massacre on 7/10,” the Shin Bet and police statement concluded.

Israel-Hamas war: Live updates as Israel screens unseen bodycam footage of bloody Hamas attack
A room of 200 journalists were sickened after viewing a 43-minute clip of Hamas bodycam footage. Now, they have spoken about the “pure savagery” they witnessed.
Israel screens unseen Hamas bodycam footage of attack
The Israeli military (IDF) has screened previously unseen raw footage recovered from Hamas body cameras, CCTV, dashcams and the mobile phones during the terror group’s ruthless attack on civilians in southern Israel.
The horrifying montage shown to about 200 journalists included a photo of a burnt baby, gunmen shooting the dead bodies of civilians in cars, militants in the process of beheading a body and burnt corpses thrown in a dumpster.
Those in attendance were not permitted to film the video and only a snippet was released for the public, out of respect for the dead.
One reporter who saw the full clip described the scenes as “pure savagery”.
Some of the footage came from Hamas body cameras and videos posted by Hamas militants to social media and later verified by Israel. Some was taken by civilians as they tried to escape and some by first responders.
According to the Associated Press, it showed bodies of people who had been bound.
A room with at least seven bodies reduced to ash. Civilians shot in bedrooms, bathrooms, front yards. Blood so thick it nearly obscured hallway floors.
In another clip, from after the assault, an Israeli woman is seen trying to work out if a partially burned woman’s corpse, with a mutilated head, is that of a family member. The dead woman’s dress is pulled up to her waist and her underpants have been removed. Major Gen. Mickey Edelstein, who briefed reporters after the viewing, said that “we have evidence” of rape but “we cannot share it,” declining to elaborate further.
The IDF also released documents which they said were recovered from dead Hamas members, containing detailed operational planning and instructions for attacking the neighbourhoods and taking hostages.
The 43-minute clip was screened to journalists in Tel Aviv on Monday after being cut together from hundreds of hours of footage collected since the attack, the Israeli military said.
It contained clips of Hamas gunmen cheering with apparent joy as they shot civilians on the road, and later killing parents and children in their homes.
One disturbing sequence, taken from home cameras inside of a kibbutz, showed a father rushing his two young boys into an above ground shelter, seconds before Hamas attackers threw a grenade in, killing the father and wounding the boys.
The boys are covered in blood, and one appears to have lost an eye. They go to their kitchen and cry for their mother.
One of the boys screams, “Why am I alive?” and “Daddy, Daddy.” One says, “I think we are going to die.”
The terrorist who killed their father comes in, and while they weep, calmly raids their fridge, pausing to take a drink of water before walking out again, the BBC reports.
One of the boys cried to his brother: “Daddy is dead, this is not a prank,” and repeated “Why am I alive”? His brother was apparently blinded by the grenade. The military spokesman present was unable to say whether they survived.
In the second segment, captured through a call recording application on a victim’s phone, a different son reaches out to a different father. “Dad, I killed 10 with my bare hands,” the terrorist excitedly tells his father in Gaza. “Their blood is on my hands, let me speak to Mom.”
“Please be proud of me, Dad,” he adds.
Identified by his father as Mahmoud, the terrorist says he is calling his family from the phone of a Jewish woman he’s just murdered, and implores them to check his WhatsApp messages for further documentation.
IDF Major General Mickey Edelstein described the compilation as “a very sad movie”.
The Israeli government said it was revealing horrific footage collected from various sources to the media in order to fight ‘Holocaust-like denials’ of Hamas’s massacres in southern Israel, The Times of Israel reports.
The horrifying footage has left journalists from around the world shocked and “disgusted”.
Images from the screening shared online, shows members of the press watching in horror as they put their hands to their face and cover their mouths.
“Hundreds of journalists and photographers from media companies all over the world attended … what they saw left many of the reporters visibly shocked and disgusted,” media joruanlist Emmanuel Miller wore on X.
Foreign editor of Jewish News and freelance journalist Jotam Confino called the footage “indescribable”.
“If anyone has any doubt about what happened, I truly don’t know what to say anymore,” he wrote on X.
Another journalist, David Patrikarakos, said after the screening: “What I saw today has nothing to do with resistance, it was about wanting to kill Jews.”

Meanwhile The Man Who Created This Mess – Obama’s warning as he weighs into the debate
Former US President Barack Obama has weighed into the conflict in the Middle East.
In a written piece, he called for the people of the world to show their “best values, rather than our worst fears, on display”.
He said that while he accepts Israel has a right to defend itself — he warned against going too far, as he said the US did after the September 11 attacks.
“The U.S. government wasn’t interested in heeding the advice of even our allies when it came to the steps we took to protect ourselves against Al Qaeda,” he said.
“Now, after the systematic massacre of Israeli citizens, a massacre that evokes some of the darkest memories of persecution against the Jewish people, it’s understandable that many Israelis have demanded that their government do whatever it takes.”
However, he warned that Israel’s tactics — including blocking food, water and electricity to a captive civilian population — could backfire.
“It threatens not only to worsen a growing humanitarian crisis; it could further harden Palestinian attitudes for generations, erode global support for Israel, play into the hands of Israel’s enemies, and undermine long term efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region,” he warned.
For those who may not know the Pepperidge farm meme.

The Game Continues – Hamas Releases Two More Elderly Hostages, Keeps Their Husbands
October 23, 2023 – Sundance
If you drop the pretending, it becomes crystal clear to see the hostages are being used as leverage to stop a counteroffensive by the Israeli military.
The Obama/Biden administration alignment with Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), permeates the media narrative with calls to negotiate terms for peace and hostage release.
As we expected, Benjamin Netanyahu is being painted into a corner by the Biden administration who are using the U.S. military presence as a shield to force Israel to follow the approved program of the U.S. government.
Biden, et al, want to protect Hamas while simultaneously calling residents of Gaza “victims” to the interests of Hamas and the PIJ.
With 200+ hostages held by Hamas, and up to another 50 held by PIJ, the slow drip of successful hostage release negotiations becomes the justification to stopping the Israeli War counteroffensive.
The two hostages released, Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, and Nurit Cooper, 79, were taken out of Gaza at the Rafah crossing into Egypt, where they were put into ambulances.
However, their elderly husbands were kept behind.
The two women, along with their husbands, were snatched from their homes in the kibbutz of Nir Oz near the Gaza border during Hamas’ Oct. 7 rampage into southern Israeli communities.
9/11 notwithstanding, Al Qaeda was hardly an existential threat to the US.
It’s a false analogy.
And Israel is not forcing civilians to stay in Gaza City, Hamas is.
Obama is only reinforcing the terrorist narrative with these comments.
Ordered something from the US on the 8th Oct.
Arrived in Australia on the 11th Oct at the domestic delivery partners depot.
Today, the 24th Oct, package has not moved from their depot.
I thought about driving to Chullora & knocking on the depot’s door.

“Make It Stop” – Israel Shares 43 Minutes of Gruesome Hamas Attacks to Horrified Journalists in Private Screening Not Yet Released to Public – Includes Young Children Burned and Pregnant Women Cut Open
In one video, a man rolls around on the ground, bleeding from his stomach, as a Hamas terrorist tries in vain to chop his head off with farming equipment. In another clip, an Israeli woman is trying to determine if a partially burned corpse with a mutilated head is that of a family member.
The dead woman’s dress was pulled up to her waist with her underpants removed. She had been raped and torured by the medieval savages before being set ablaze.
In yet another video, a 19-year-old female Israeli soldier is seen wearing bloody sweatpants while being dragged out of the trunk of a car to a chorus of sickening cheers. One man yells in English, “You’re in Gaza!”
A male soldier is pulled from a car, tossed to the ground, and then beaten by a bloodthirsty Palestinian crowd.
Joel Pollak of Breitbart News then describes perhaps the most horrifying video of all: one child had been blinded by the Hamas savages and was covered in his father’s blood after they deliberately targeted his family:
A terrorist peers over the fence and lobs a grenade into the shelter. It bounces off the back wall and explodes.
The father’s body falls forward. A boy appears, covered in his father’s blood, looking at his father.
We see the boy on the couch, now doubled over on the rug. “Why am I alive?” he wails.
He then looks at the brother in the chair. There is a red, black space where his eye used to be. He asks if his brother can see out of that eye. He says that he cannot. The other brother asks again. Are you joking? He repeats that he cannot see.
Pollak also reported he heard fellow journalists whisper “make it stop” as the presentation on Hamas’ atrocities continued.
The IDF also revealed that a pregnant woman was not only killed by Hamas savages, but they also cut her unborn child out her belly and beheaded it.
Savages and we have Labor Politicians, Greens, Some TEALS & Clover Moore not Calling Hamas/and then beaten by a bloodthirsty Palestinian crowd. out.
