Will Hamas Move Hostages To Nurseries?

On Saturday June 8, 2024, Israeli security forces rescued four of the Israeli hostages who were kidnapped to Gaza from the Nova Music Festival on October 7, 2023. In the action to bring everyone back to Israel, one of the Israeli vehicles got stuck and was surrounded by Palestinian terrorists. Israel called in the Air Force to provide protection and scores of Palestinians were reportedly killed.

Pro-Israel media portrayed the rescue operation as an enormous success. Israelis celebrated on the streets at the return of the seized peaceful party-goers who were held illegally in captivity for eight months by Gazans.

The anti-Israel media lambasted the operation as it killed many Palestinians. It mocked the rescue as being inhumane because of the toll on Palestinians who were part of the Hamas infrastructure imprisoning the Israelis.

Pundits went on to speculate that Hamas would now likely move hostages from apartments to the underground tunnel network and embed them with Palestinian soldiers.

That is inverted logic.

Hamas has no possibility of militarily defeating Israel, a fact made abundantly clear over the past eight months. The only war Hamas is attempting to win is one of public opinion, which it tries to do by getting the woke anti-Israel media to see Israel as mercilessly killing civilians – ideally as many women and children as possible. Hamas watches the news, and celebrates the latest victory that so much of the media has not condemned it for keeping hostages in the heart of a residential neighborhood.

It will make the next attempt even more heinous.

After the daring rescue operation, Hamas is likely to move remaining hostages into nurseries, to force Israel to kill as many Arab infants as possible, should the Jewish State attempt another rescue. It would be a huge victory for Hamas, as it offers infant martyrs for the cameras.

Casualness Of Jewish Hostages

The Israeli government and army were shocked as over 1,000 members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad invaded Israel and butchered babies, women, men and the elderly. They were totally unprepared for the abduction of 250 people to Gaza.

But the world didn’t voice shock that thousands of Palestinian Arab civilians from Gaza participated in the atrocities. The world remained silent.

The Israeli army has killed and captured thousands of Palestinian terrorists since October 7. The intelligence gathered from the Gazan soldiers provided information to launch rescue operations to free Israeli hostages.

On June 8, four Israelis were rescued from an apartment complex in the United Nations run-Nuseirat “refugee” camp in central Gaza. The camp is right next to the Izz ad Deen al-Qassam Mosque, named for a Syrian terrorist who hunted the British and Jews in Palestine in the 1920s and 1930s.

The four Israelis included a 26-year old woman, held hostage in an apartment for eight months. The local Gazans said and did nothing the entire time but is not flagged in the media.

It is being reported that the hostages were forced to read the Quran and learn Islamic teachings. Such activity evidences the religious nature of the war from Gaza is not a battle over land.

The Islamist war is not being discussed in the mainstream media.

It is also being reported that one of the people who kept the hostages, or lived next door, was Abdallah Aljamal, an employee of Al Jazeera, the Qatari-based media company aligned with Hamas, or more likely, Palestine Chronicle, another media outfit. Whether Aljamal was the guard overseeing the hostages or not, a journalist would certainly have known about hostages next door. And he said nothing, showcasing his allegiance to the terrorists over journalism.

The Gaza journalists complicit with terrorism is not being discussed in the mainstream media.

Polls of Gazans have long shown that they support Hamas and the goal of killing Jewish civilians inside of Israel. Recent polls show a majority of Gazans support the October 7 attack. They view the abduction of civilians as part of a war effort which they support and from which they will benefit.

And the world continues to say nothing about the desire of Gazans who want to see Jews murdered.

Many people had assumed that the hostages were being kept by the terrorist groups in underground tunnels with Gazans kept as human shields for the underground terrorist infrastructure. However, the recent rescue operation shows that assumption to be incorrect: the people of Gaza are keeping Jews as hostages in their homes and in their neighborhoods, under the watch of Hamas and the United Nations.

The Arabs of Gaza are not human shields for Hamas; they are an integral part of the infrastructure of antisemitic terror.

Jamaal Bowman Is Not Progressive, He’s Divisive

Mondaire Jones, a former congressman who served lower Westchester, came out against the incumbent Jamaal Bowman, saying the time had come to “rebuke the extremists that some would have take over the Democratic Party.”

Jones is a black, gay progressive, and made clear that Bowman represents a fringe element advanced by revolutionary groups that seek to tear the country apart, and not part of a liberal tradition.

Jones’s point rings true for Westchester County, where Biden beat Trump in 2020 by 67.6% to 31.3%. The county is liberal but not ‘burn it down’ woke radical like Bowman.

Would a progressive mock women who were raped to a chanting crowd, the way Bowman did on the streets of White Plains?

Would a progressive taunt a small minority-minority, a fraction of the size of the country’s Black and Hispanic population, the way Bowman does?

Would a progressive be hostile and ignore of a minority group which suffers more hate crimes than any other group in the United States, as Bowman does repeatedly?

The National Black Empowerment Action Fund is embarrassed by the divisive actions of Jamaal Bowman. The group just donated half a million dollars to his opponent, a 70-year old white man, Westchester County Executive George Latimer. The founder of the group said “we could have stayed out of it, but the need was too great, the sense of urgency was too high. We’re trying to champion an effort to help amplify the voices of black voters who are focused on safe communities, good-paying jobs, driving down the cost of living, having school choice for their kids, healthcare and just realizing better life outcomes, and it’s going to take responsible leadership that’s keenly focused on those priorities as opposed to far-flung ideologies and agendas.”

Bowman’s agenda and ideology has more than a tinge of Jew hatred.

White Plains Councilman Justin Brasch said about Bowman “I have felt antisemitism from him. I felt such a strong degree of antagonism towards the Jewish community and its leadership that, yes, it feels antisemitic and insensitive.”

Bowman has called Republicans “Nazis,” as has his staff in attempting to divert attention away from Bowman’s pulling a fire alarm. It is an insult not only to the targeted individuals but Jews who consider the casual usage of the term a form of Holocaust denial.

Jamaal Bowman defended the antisemitic comments of Rep. Rashida Tlaib by calling Republicans racists, cold and stupid, November 7, 2023

Bowman embraces his position as an extremist. In May 2023 he scolded President Biden saying “I’m concerned because the president has, every now and then, moved to the right, if you will, to acquiesce to a so-called independent voter.” His hyper-partisan voting record places well outside of the mainstream, which is why the far-left group Justice Democrats made Bowman the top recipient of their funding in the 2022 and 2024 election cycles.

People are signing petitions to groups like Planned Parenthood to pull their endorsement of the rape denier Bowman. They are turning out to canvas and donate to the Latimer campaign to toss Bowman from office.

Jamaal Bowman is not progressive; he is a censured, highly-divisive congressman who is an embarrassment to his constituents and the entire country.

Deplatform Jamaal Bowman

If the voters of New York’s 16th Congressional district get out and vote their opinions in the June 25 Democratic primary, Rep. Jamaal Bowman will lose to Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a seasoned politician who has delivered for his constituents over many decades.

Alas, even in defeat, it is possible for Bowman to continue his fanatical tirades, as left-wing media whitewashes his lunacy and praises his opinions.

On June 4, 2024, Bowman, a frequently invited guest on MSNBC, slammed his progressive primary opponent as a MAGA Republican out to destroy democracy, when Latimer actually has 35 years of liberal bona fide legislative history. Rather than correct Bowman for the audience, the hosts at MSNBC said “we need more time with him.”

It almost seemed to set the stage for Bowman to have a permanent spot on the network after he loses in the Democratic primary.

Bowman has a long history of race-baiting, lying and being a hypocrite. He is one of two sitting members of congress to be censured by a bipartisan majority. He mocked the rape of Jewish women in Israel to a cheering crowd.

Bowman is toxic for America. He should be permanently sidelined.

ACTION ITEMS

Sign this petition asking Planned Parenthood to pull their endorsement of Rape Denier” Bowman.

Email MSNBC at MSNBCTVinfo@nbcuni.com and tell them that any person whose first reaction to learning about the raping of women, shooting the elderly and burning families alive is to take to the streets to call the worst atrocity committed against Jews since the Holocaust a matter of “fake news” is not someone who deserves any airtime.

There have always been bad people in America. Now mainstream media and organizations are giving them a national platform to destroy the country.

Fire Rep. Jamaal Bowman

The June 25 New York Democratic Party primary will pit Westchester County Executive George Latimer who was endorsed by numerous fire fighting organizations, against Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who was censured by a bipartisan Congress for pulling a fire alarm, thereby putting thousands of lives at risk.

Bowman has also called to “Defund the Police” and mocked the rape of Jewish women in Israel on the streets of White Plains. Had anyone in a non-elected governmental position conducted themselves in such a dangerous manner, they would have been fired from their job.

Some organizations and people – like J Street and Mondaire Jones – have pulled their endorsements of the disgraced congressman. Others are petitioning Planned Parenthood to pull their endorsement of the rape denier. We should demand that everyone – including House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries – pull their endorsement, even though Bowman is an incumbent.

It will be up to the voters of New York’s 16th Congressional District to get out the vote for George Latimer on June 25. A request for a mail in ballot must be received by June 15.

“The Squad” Starts To Eat Its Own

Former Member of Congress, Mondaire Jones, came out against incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman in New York’s 16th District. Jones used to represent much of the district of lower Westchester in 2020, before redistricting changed the contours of NY’s congressional district and Jones opted to run in lower Manhattan, where he lost in the primary in 2022.

Many people have come out against Jamaal Bowman, a fiery far-left extremist who claims to be causing “good trouble” when he calls for “defunding the police”, “abolishing ICE” (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement), demanding $14 trillion of “reparations” for Black Americans, and ending U.S. support for the only Jewish State. What makes the Jones’ criticism of Bowman special is that it is coming from a Black progressive member of congress who used to represent many of Bowman’s constituents.

Mondaire Jones speaking in White Plains, NY while a member of Congress in June 2021

According to Jewish Insider, “Jones said he’s had conversations ‘all the time’ with Jewish residents in the district who are ‘horrified by his [Bowman’s] words and actions — it gives them anxiety. And it has contributed to the fearfulness that American Jews are feeling in this very heightened climate of increased hostility towards the Jewish community and Israel.’ [Jones added] ‘I will always stand up for my Jewish constituents. It’s just critically important we rebuke the extremists that some would have take over the Democratic Party.'”

Members of the extremist far-left “Squad” were appalled by Jones’ actions and comments that he is endorsing Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a White, 70-year old man for the position.

According to Semafor, Rep. Summer Lee, (D-PA) called the endorsement “incredibly disappointing.” Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) said “It’s disgusting. Here we have a former CPC [Congressional Progressive Caucus] and CBC [Congressional Black Caucus] member who’s endorsing against both a Progressive and Black man who was the first Black man in his seat.”

Lee and Bush are essentially parrots of Bowman in Congress, voting in the same manner nearly every time, as do AOC (D-NY) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA).

The extreme left “Squad” essentially vote as a unified block, with 98-99% overlap. Chart above compares Bowman’s voting record against other progressives and New York Republicans for comparison. Data for 2023-4 118th Congress according to ProPublica.com

Almost all of the Westchester Democratic establishment has endorsed Latimer over the incumbent Bowman due to the latter’s vitriol and embarrassing actions. Now fellow Black progressives are turning on the censured Bowman in the homestretch towards the Democratic primary scheduled for June 25.

As Mondaire Jones said about Bowman, it is “critically important we rebuke the extremists that some would have take over the Democratic Party.” Bowman will hopefully be the first but not last to fall.

Holocaust Survivors At The 2024 Israeli Day Parade In New York City

New York City has held a Celebrate Israel Day parade for many decades. In 2024, just months after the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust, the gathering of Jews and Israel-supporters had a very different feeling.

Among the many marchers were several elderly people who survived the European Holocaust 80 years ago. Some joined a float sponsored by the Claims Conference, the organization that secures funding from European countries, principally Germany, and distributes it to help the elderly victims.

The survivors and Claims Conference supporters wore shirts that read “cancel hate” on the front, while the backs read “never again,” particularly meaningful slogans for people who had survived violent trauma as children and were living through a period of antisemitic slaughter and vulgar hatred again in their old age.

Alas, “never again” proved a hollow slogan. On October 7, vicious Palestinian Arab antisemites invaded Israel and butchered 1,200 civilians in their homes and at a peaceful dance rave. In the tragedy’s immediate aftermath, people in many cities – including New York City – chanted that they were thrilled at the burning of Jewish families. Once again.

Eight months later, Holocaust survivors rode up Fifth Avenue holding Israeli flags, as New York City Police sharpshooters watched from atop buildings, and drones and helicopters circled overhead, worried that anti-Israel protestors would attack the celebration.

Only half of Fifth Avenue held onlookers, as the police did not want infiltrators coming in from Central Park, which packed viewers against the buildings. Many wore stickers and held placards to finish Hamas, the ruling Palestinian entity of Gaza which carried out the vicious massacre and has sworn to destroy the Jewish State.

The survivors were born in various countries including Poland and Russia. They were mostly women, as male survivors are becoming a rarity.

They waved flags. They danced with young Jews.

They cried at the situation that they were living in a world where “never again” were empty words, even as they clasped Israeli flags and tried to remain hopeful that now Jews have autonomy in the State of Israel which was lacking during World War II.

The reality is that they had fled many years ago to America and internalized that this “goldene medina” was unique and offered Jews protection and opportunity absent in Europe.

Now, their smiles and optimism felt shallow.

The crowd very much echoed those feelings. Yellow ribbons, pins and stickers calling to bring home the 125 remaining hostages held by Palestinian Arabs, were close to everyone’s hearts and minds.

In the end, the Holocaust survivors didn’t confront any Jew haters in the crowd as they rode the float in the Israel celebration. They and the crowd which included many with family members impacted by the October 7 Massacre as well as the War on Terror, thought about the words that accompanied them on the journey from Matisyahu’s One Day song:

All my life, I’ve been waitin’ for (waitin’ for)
I’ve been prayin’ for (prayin’ for), for the people to say
That we don’t wanna fight no more (fight no more)
There’ll be no more wars (no more wars), and our children will play

One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, one day)
One day (one day), one day (one day)
One day (oh-oh-oh)

One day, this all will change, treat people the same
Stop with the violence, down with the hate
One day, we’ll all be free and proud to be
Under the same sun, singin’ songs of freedom like

Wah-yo (one day, one day), wah-yo, oh, oh (oh-oh-oh)
Wah-yo (one day, one day), wah-yo, oh, oh (oh-oh-oh)

Nicholas Kristof Whitewashes Hamas’s Antisemitism

Nicholas Kristof is an opinion columnist for The New York Times. According to the paper, his beat is “Human rights, women’s rights, health, global affairs.”

Somehow, he is unable to comprehend blatant antisemitism.

In an opinion article called “Thinking Through The Moral Tangle in Gaza,” Kristof made himself sound like a well-read balanced observer of the conflict, seeing good and bad in both Palestinian Arabs and Israelis. He ticked through twenty points which he thought could lead to peace and a two-state solution and an end to the conflict.

Instead, he showed he lacks basic understanding of the situation to untangle the situation in Gaza.

In his fifth point he wrote “Hamas is an oppressive, misogynistic and homophobic organization whose misrule has hurt Palestinians and Israelis alike.” What an abysmal portrayal of the organization.

Yes, Hamas is oppressive, homophobic and misogynistic, but that doesn’t touch upon the crux of the conflict and the ongoing war. Hamas is an antisemitic genocidal group dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish State. It makes the point clearly in its foundational charter and in remarks by its leadership repeatedly.

How can Kristof talk about the situation in Gaza without clearly articulating that Hamas is built upon Jew hatred? Does he think that the “moral tangle in Gaza” is simply because Gaza leads the region in honor killings of women and beheads gay people?

Kristof places a red herring before readers in stating that Hamas is bad for Palestinians. The fact is that Hamas is extremely popular among Palestinian Arabs and those in Gaza in particular. A majority of Gazans support the Hamas massacre of 1,200 civilians and another 400 security personnel in Israel. Roughly two-thirds of Gazans have been in favor of slaughtering Jewish civilians inside of Israel since Hamas took over Gaza in 2007.

The moral failure of the NY Times did not start on October 7, but is increasingly painful to stomach since that date. The disgraceful articles and opinions continue to bury the rampant antisemitism in Hamas and among Gazans, as well as in the United States which emanates from jihadists and socialists.
