It would be good news if this is so

According to this news, 46 percent of Muslims would consider leaving France if Marine Le Pen's elected president, and they're not the only ones:

Nearly half of all Muslims in France say they would think about going into exile if sovereigntist candidate Marine Le Pen is elected President next year, with a massive one in five followers of Islam saying they would definitely leave the country.

French news magazine Marianne has published the findings of large sample polling conducted for them by Ifop that suggests a large proportion of the country would simply refuse to keep living peacefully in France if their preferred candidates don’t prevail in the April 2027 Presidential Elections. Some 46 per cent of Muslims in the 9,600 respondent poll — a large sample for European polls — said they would consider “leaving France to settle in another country”. [...]

Muslims living in France are not the only group who told the pollster they’d consider going abroad. Almost as welling to sit out a Le Pen Presidency were supporters of hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon, who seems a credible candidate to make it to the Presidential run-offs against Le Pen, and whose party has been accused of stoking recent riots in France for their own political ends. According to Marianne, 43 per cent of Melenchon voters say they’d consider leaving France.

With his polling hovering around 17 per cent nationally, the results imply five and a half million leftists in France who would consider reacting to losing an election by moving abroad.

Wonder if the Melenchon commies would be interested in living in Muslim countries? Who knows, maybe they would, though some would surely move to Russia, for all we know, which has plenty of Muslims there already as it is.

This is certainly intriguing news, and for now, it remains to be seen how things will turn out.

The USA Girl Scouts sells out to Islam

Without a doubt, the Boy Scouts have too, but for now, what's really chilling is how the Girl Scouts have done exactly that:

[SADLER] We’re going to talk about something about the Girl Scouts and trouble within the Girl Scouts, in a column that Maggie wrote for us. Maggie, I’m going to let you jump right into this, because when I was reading the column, I could not believe this was actually happening. But the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts, they just keep stepping in it, in terms of the wokeism. So describe to me your column, the problems and the concerns that you have with the Girl Scouts.

[MCKNEELY] This is such a crazy and troubling story. The Girl Scouts was founded back in 1912 to help empower women. This was back before women had the right to vote. And so this organization was started to help enable women to go pursue their dreams, pursue careers they thought they would be best at, and to enable and encourage their talents. And yet now, fast forward to 2026, and we have the Girl Scouts giving a platform to Islam, a religion that does not allow women to even have their hair uncovered.

For most of the Girl Scouts’ history, a lot of the troops — you can have freestanding troops, but you can also have Girl Scout troops that are sponsored by a church, by a cathedral, or a synagogue. But apparently you can also have troops that are sponsored by a mosque. And so there was a recent report that came out recently that showed that there are a lot of troops that are not just encouraging girls to deepen their Islamic faith, but also to share it with the non-Muslim communities. So there’s now an organization called the Islamic Community of Girl Scouting. And what they have done is create a number of badges related to Islam. So you can be the Girl of Islamic Faith, which requires a number of steps to go through to get this badge, to be the Girl of Islamic Faith. But what’s more insidious is that there are also badges related to sharing Islam. Like, you can get a Share Ramadan With Your Friend badge. You can get all sorts of badges related to actually sharing Islam with the non-Muslim community.

And a number of these troops are also putting on events to share Islam. There was a troop out in Sacramento that had an event to bring the non-Muslim community in, and they had things like a try-on-a-hijab booth or a learn-about-Palestine booth to create empathy — I’m using air quotes there — with the Palestinian cause.

It seems really endemic. We’re seeing this all across the nation. It’s not just California. We’re seeing it in Virginia and Florida and New York and Indiana. So it is — it’s all over the place. And it’s just really troubling because it’s such a departure from what the Girl Scouts was originally meant to be.

[SADLER] And the proselytizing, that’s the other thing. It’s not only if you visit a mosque you get a badge — it’s how many people can you convert? Are there similar badges for the Catholics? Is there similar badges for the Baptists, for the evangelicals? Is there similar badges for the Jews?

[MCKNEELY] No, no, there’s not. There’s no Share Communion With Your Friend, no Have Shabbat With Your Friend badge. This seems to be specific just to the Islamic-sponsored troops.

[SADLER] And it’s just really incompatible. Islam is incompatible with Western values. As you mentioned, there is no freedom of religion for women in Islamic countries — in Iran, in Afghanistan. If you look at Afghanistan under Taliban rule, women can’t even get an education. They are subject to childhood marriage at around nine years old, before they even mature. They’re already sold off from their families to a man who could have multiple wives — not even, not even one wife.

Without a doubt, the Islamic movements with Girl Scout charters are under no obligation in any way to accomodate LGBT ideology. It's only the Judeo-Christian movements that are, and even the Buddhist/Hindu/Shinto movements, if there are any in the USA with Scout charters. This is absolutely awful, and one of the leading reasons many families have hopefully distanced themselves from the Girl Scouts movement itself, and shifted to movements like the American Heritage Girls, a similar movement I heard of years ago. No more Girl Scout cookies, and I've got a bad feeling there's quite a few charters that're now making halal cookies, as if things weren't bad enough.

Utterly offensive: Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez appeared to be laughing at 911 Memorial

Not only did NYC's Muslim mayor Zohran Mamdani and even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez show up at the 911 Memorial in complete contempt of the victims, camera footage showed they appeared to be laughing at what's meant to be a solemn moment:

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) were seen having a jolly time together at the September 11 memorial service at Ground Zero while victims’ names were being read.

A live television feed showing the service captured the moments between the socialist mayor and congresswoman as the camera panned across people weeping as their loved ones were being remembered:

— Greg Price (@greg_price11) September 11, 2026

What's also offensive is that no authorities in charge of the Memorial service prevented him and her from attending. Do the organizers realize the shame they've brought upon the gathering in doing so? The 911 Families should demand serious apologies from all in charge of the Memorial service for the horrific disfavor they did, allowing practically 2 awful people to infiltrate and desecrate. This is absolutely horrible and repulsive.

Update: since we're on the subject, see also Richard Landes' take on the history of Islamic jihadism.

World cannot continue to ignore what led to 9-11-2001 and 10-7-2023

Moshe Dann discusses the tragedy of September 11, 2001 in the USA, and October 7, 2023 in Israel:

The attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 is embedded in America’s consciousness as a nation. Jews in Israel and around the world share the pain of that event as we celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year on that date this year. We, too, suffered a national disaster when Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli communities on October 7, 2023.

Both events were perpetrated by Muslim terrorists with similar ideologies; both left deep scars. Both were wake-up calls that initiated wars, changed perspectives, and engaged new strategies.

The world’s reaction to these events, however, has been strikingly different. Expressions of outrage over 9/11 and support for America’s response are contrasted by support for Hamas and Islamist terrorist organizations, while condemning Israel for defending itself.

Like the war against Al Qaeda, the war against Hamas and its supporters is not over. Although largely defeated, they remain active, dangerous and determined.

Everyone who is interested knows what happened on 9/11. Many people have written about it and have produced documentaries about it, but too few have asked what the attack means, its significance, and its connection to Islamism. Prof Efriam Karsh wrote about this in his book, "Islamic Imperialism: a history", which explains the strategy of Islamist terrorist organizations.

Connecting 9/11 to other Islamic-based suicidal attacks, such as the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, and attacks on civilians and civilian targets is essential. It’s what the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan of “Civilizational Jihad" means.

Most people know, despite conspiracy theories being spread on social media, that the attack on 9/11 was carried out by a group of mainly Saudi terrorists who were connected to Al Qaeda, a terrorist organization. These Al Qaeda terrorists were funded and assisted by the Saudi government and Muslim “charities," and by Saudis living in California and other states. Several Saudi terrorists who carried out the attack were enrolled in flight schools and training programs in the US where they were learning how to hijack and fly airplanes to use them as weapons of mass destruction.

Why were they supported by the Saudi government and Muslim donors?

Even today, Saudi Arabia can't be trusted in virtually every way, shape and form, and 911 Families, in example, are rightfully demanding answers on the issues. The subject of Islam is something that also needs to be pondered when discussing tragedies like the 2015 jihadist attacks in France at the Bataclan, and everything must be done to demand answers there too.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the issues and made a point that there can't be any "buts":

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday marked 25 years since the September 11 attacks, remembering the victims and those who risked their lives to save others and drawing a parallel between the attacks and the October 7 massacre in Israel.

“25 years ago, thousands of innocent people went to work in the World Trade Center in New York. They never came home," Netanyahu said.

“For those who know such loss, it never leaves you. America remembers them. Israel remembers them."

Netanyahu paid tribute to the emergency personnel and others who acted during the attacks.

“We remember the firefighters who ran up the stairs while everyone else was running down. We remember the police officers, the first responders, the passengers who bravely fought back on the hijacked planes, and we remember the evil that murdered them."

“On September 11th, America was hit by pure evil. On October 7th, Israel was hit by it again," the Prime Minister stated.

Netanyahu rejected calls to understand the motivations or grievances of terrorists, saying, “There is no context for burning families alive. There is no grievance that justifies murdering innocents deliberately."

“There is no ‘yes, but’ when it comes to terrorism," he added.

The Prime Minister also pointed to chants of “Death to America, death to Israel," saying that the hostility towards the two countries stems from the same source.

“They hate both of us for the same reason, because America and Israel stand for freedom, for democracy, for civilization. For life."

More precisely, because the Religion of Peace dictates it. And even Netanyahu's going to have to consider the time's come to address the challenging issues more clearly.

Update: there was a special Memorial event using drones to recreate the WTC with light beams in NYC 2 nights before:

A drone show recreated the Twin Towers in light over New York Harbor on Wednesday ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terror attack.

The show featured 2,977 drones — one for each victim killed when hijackers crashed planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and rural southwestern Pennsylvania.

It was organized by families of 9/11 victims and New York Fire Department members who responded to the attack at the World Trade Center, where 2,753 civilians, firefighters and law enforcement officers were killed.

An important form of Memorial, to be sure. But will the awful Zohran Mamdani show up at the 911 Memorial today? If he does, it'll be a humiliation.

An 11-year-old working on comics wants to remember 9-11, but will the MSM do the same?

NBC-KXAN gave a report about an 11-year-old who's into comics, who wants 911 to be remembered:

Benjamin Faundez loves to tell stories.

The 11-year-old Arlington boy is an avid reader and wants to be a writer one day. He’s also a film director — making tales come to life with a phone camera and help from his younger sister Florencia.

But more than anything, comics are the way Benjamin expresses himself.

“These are all the comics I’ve made over the years,” he said, scurrying into the living room with a thick white binder. Inside were dozens of comic books he’d written over the last three years, neatly slid into protective sheets to keep his creations in mint condition.

Flipping through his immense catalogue, Benjamin says he’s most fond of his fictional protagonist ‘Sacred Sargeant.’

And while he headlines dozens of comics, Sacred Sargeant was absent from Benjamin’s most notable piece — a story about the first responders who responded to the twin towers on 9/11.

‘I wasn’t supposed to be at that spot’

On Sept. 12, 2024, one day after the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, Benjamin’s parents Paulina and Miguel took their family to New York City. While the four got to experience several highlights — including the Back to the Future musical and visiting the site Miguel proposed to Paulina at — Benjamin’s fascination with recent history primarily motivated the 1,600-mile trip.

“Around second grade, I started reading these books called I Survived — historical fiction about 10-, 11-, 12-year-olds that survived natural disasters or events that like Hurricane Katrina or the Chicago Fire,” Faundez said. “I ran upon the book called I Survived the Attacks of September 11… after I read it, I decided I wanted to learn more about what happened on that day.”

That's most amazing a younger reader wants to learn more about the subject. But does the news network want to provide the clear information? Because this article is superficial in the extreme, and doesn't say a word about the Islamic religion's role in the horror. How can the tragedy be recalled properly, and how is anyone to form an opinion if they don't know what the exact motivations were that led to such an abominable incident?

Benjamin took the pin and headed through the security checkpoint but couldn’t leave Passarella empty-handed.

“I was still working on the comic book. I hadn’t finished it yet … but at that time I just felt like I had to give it to him,” Benjamin said.

Then Passarella upped the ante.

“He went back to he went back to his office and took out a flag and explained to me that on the flag was everybody’s name who died on September 11,” Benjamin said.

The two went on their way, but Passarella exchanged numbers with Benjamin’s parents. Then a couple months later, Passarella’s agency shared the encounter online — showing off Benjamin’s work to the world. [...]

‘We’re never going to forget’

100 million Americans are now too young to have a first-hand recollection of 9/11. Some were too young to have lasting memories. Others simply weren’t alive. This includes many people Passarella oversees — something he thinks about ahead of the 25th anniversary on Friday.

“The greatest challenge you have is to instill in our workforce what Ben emits through his conversation and through his actions to never forget those who lost their lives,” Passarella says. “343 firefighters, men and women went in there innocently and their lives were taken.”

Despite being born 14 years after the tragedy, Benjamin plans to continue “remembering and honoring the people who sacrificed themselves and died to protect us from the bad guys and what they did to us and what they did to the country on that terrible day.”

Twenty-five years after the attacks, Passarella says Benjamin represents something unexpected: proof that the stories of that day are still reaching a new generation.

Unfortunately, if the article itself is any suggestion, information about the ideology that led to the tragedy is not reaching new generations. Also notice how they reduce any description of al Qaeda to merely "bad guys". That hardly says anything. At worst, it's obscuring the identities of the culprits. NBC's affiliate should be ashamed of themselves for omitting any meat-and-potatoes information about 9-11. Are they even disturbed by how NYC's Muslim mayor Zohran Mamdani handed a commemoration pen to an aide named Ramzi Kassem, who served as lawyer to an al Qaeda jihadist, an act that outraged 911 Families? That's something the pre-teen comics writer could develop 5 dozen comics about for history research.

It's admirable there's a young comics creator at work who enjoys the medium as much as he does, and his interest in the subject of 911 is also important. But without knowledge, there's no defense, and NBC's doing a terrible disservice to many people affected by the tragedy by omitting crucial facts from the narrative. Let's be clear. Just because the guy in the spotlight's a youngster is no excuse for reducing the entire narrative to something so superficial. We have to hope the young fellow will be able to research the exact facts, and even interview 911 Families/survivors, which could provide some important information that could help produce plenty of history comics for modern students to check out. For now, NBC's only setting a very poor example with their obscurations.

The books Abdult el-Sayed doesn't want Black voters to see

Daniel Greenfield found information that Michigan Democrat candidate Abdul el-Sayed keeps books around his house that are offensive to Black women, and also victims of child rape:

Free Beacon reported that Abdul El-Sayed had told documentarians not to film his more Islamic bookshelf and the books contained their included ‘Dream Interpretation According to the Qur’an’ by an Islamic scholar named Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips who has some interesting views.

Philips, an unindicted terror coconspirator had promoted terrorism and in Abdul El-Sayed’s latest pedophilia scandal had “advocated that young girls are fit for marriage the moment they begin menstruating (which for some girls can begin as young as eight years old).”

Sneaking a peak at a copy of ‘Dream Interpretation According to the Qur’an’ leads to this rather ugly passage that had it shown up on the shelf of a conservative candidate would have quickly become a top news story.

Black Woman

Abdullaah ibn “Umar related that the Prophet said, “I dreamt that I saw a black woman with untidy hair going out of Madeenah and settling at Mahya’ah. I interpreted it as the epidemic of Madeeanh being transferred to Mahya’ah, namely, al-Jufu1fah.

The relationship between the black woman and the epidemic can be deduced from the word sawdaa (black), from which the words soo (evil) and daa (sickness) may be extracted.

That's one of the most horrifying things about the Religion of Peace and the koran: they consider Black women evil. And to think that el-Sayed may end up becoming a member of Congress soon! That only makes this whole repulsive scandal all the more chilling.

If Piker's not sorry for what he says about Israel, then he's not sorry for what he said about the USA either

Hasan Piker's one of the most repulsive influencers in the Democrat party now, and what's told here should make clear nothing he says should be taken at face value:

Hasan Piker, a 35-year-old American streamer who broadcasts on Twitch to millions of followers, is one of the rising voices in Democratic politics. He describes himself as a Marxist, has said America "deserved 9/11," called for Zionists to be treated like neo-Nazis and declared that he would choose Hamas over Israel "every single time."

In recent months, he has moved from the screen to the campaign trail, becoming a prominent figure in Abdul El-Sayed's campaign. El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic US Senate primary last week and could become the first Muslim elected to the US Senate. [...]

Despite his Marxist politics, the business he runs is thoroughly capitalist. According to Rolling Stone, nearly 50,000 subscribers pay $6 a month for his channel. After Twitch takes its 30% cut, that translates into more than $2 million in annual revenue.

Then he's obviously as much a grifter as he is an enemy of the USA and Israel. And no doubt, he harbors the same sentiments towards Europe (which has its own share of self-haters too).

The remark most closely associated with Piker came in August 2019, during a livestream in which he watched Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw being interviewed by Joe Rogan. Piker mocked Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who lost his right eye to an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, and referred to the fighter who wounded him as a "brave soldier."

"America deserved 9/11, dude," Piker said during the same broadcast. "Fuck it, I'm saying it. We totally brought it upon ourselves." Only after two days of criticism did he walk the comment back in an interview with his uncle, Cenk Uygur, calling the remark "inappropriate" and describing it as a failed attempt at satire.

Blatant anti-Israel rhetoric

When it comes to Israel, however, Piker has not backed down. In January, he wrote on X that "Hamas is a thousand times better than a fascist settler-colonial apartheid state." When confronted with the statement in April on Pod Save America, one of the most influential podcasts in Democratic politics, he refused to soften it. "I stand by that," he said.

In that case, he's not sorry for what he said about the USA either. Some of these monsters pretend certain things if they think it'll cause people to lose interest in them, but it's not so simple, and men like Piker can always continue causing damage behind the scenes. And they can always boomerang back on their previous obscenities, along with concocting more horrific ones.

Here's some more about the podcasts Piker's been speaking on lately, and he's continued to make offensive statements, and now tries to make it sound like he's "walking back" what he said earlier, even though his excuses are very weak:

Anti-American streamer Hasan Piker said he “should have phrased things better” discussing his viral comments that America deserved 9/11 on Mehdi Hasan’s podcast two weeks ago.

The Hill reported on the podcast appearance, where Piker said he “could’ve phrased the statement ‘America deserved 9/11’ in a better way but held firm to his frequent use of “pejoratives” in describing racial groups.

One more clue why this is a most truly disgusting man who has no business being in politics any more than el-Sayed. Tragically, it's sadly possible that the latter will be elected to the Senate, and that's going to be very awful if it happens. And "satire"? That's one of the most repellent "defenses" possible to make. It's utterly sick. Piker shouldn't be allowed near the 911 Memorial any more than Zohran Mamdani.

Muslim rapist given 21 years for assault on mother in Gedera

A Muslim rapist who attacked a mother in Gedera while her children were in the house has been given 21 years in prison and a huge fine:

The Central District Court in Lod sentenced Barkat Abu Issa to 21 years in prison on Wednesday for breaking into a woman’s Gedera home, binding and raping her while her three young children were inside.

Abu Issa, 25, was convicted following a trial of rape under aggravated circumstances, burglary of a residential building, and abuse of a minor over the February 2023 attack.

The court also ordered him to pay NIS 200,000 in compensation, comprising NIS 150,000 to the woman and NIS 50,000 to her son, who was two years old at the time of the attack.

The panel directly addressed the woman at the end of its ruling, saying that she had suffered an unbearable and life-altering assault and continued to contend with its effects on her and her children.

What the monster did was an utterly perverse act, and his sentence is not enough. He should be thrown in an isolated dungeon for centuries.

There is a majority of Americans who want the war against Iran to continue

According to polling data commissioned by Tea Party Patriots, it turns out that, contrary to what even phony "conservatives" like those at the Federalist would have everyone think, many Americans do want the war on Iran to continue until its Islamofascist regime is defeated:

A recent survey has revealed that the majority of Americans support continuing the war in Iran. Sixty-two percent of surveyed general election voters agree with the statement “The United States must finish the job once and for all to protect the United States and our allies — which means ensuring that Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon and can no longer threaten American lives” data from Tea Party Patriots Action found.

The poll also asserted that the numbers found in the survey should be a “reality check” for the media.

“72% of Americans — including 60% of Democrats — agree that Iran cannot be allowed to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz, which is consistent with President Trump’s policy,” Tea Party Patriots Action Chairman Jenny Beth Martin told Breitbart News.

Martin continued, “And 62% of Americans — including 56% of Independents — believe that we need to ‘finish the job’ in Iran. … There is no split in the conservative movement on this issue. … Conservatives are overwhelmingly sticking with President Trump and the American people as a whole agree with the president’s strategy.”

If the Federalist doesn't comment on these findings, that'll speak volumes about what they're really like. It's good to know there are realists in the USA now who recognize the threat Iran's regime poses if it isn't taken down entirely, and surely recognize that if a ground operation is what it inevitably takes to complete the job, just like in Iraq, it'll have to be done. So we must give the military all the backing they'll need in order to keep morale high, which helps tremendously in order to achieve vital results.

911 Families do not want Zohran Mamdani at memorial service

911 Families are speaking out, and rightfully objecting to having NYC's Muslim mayor Zohran Mamdani at the upcoming 911 Memorial service:

Families of 9/11 victims are demanding NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani be banned from the 25th anniversary of the attacks at Ground Zero, branding him an apologist for Islamic terror whose presence would be an insult to the memories of nearly 3,000 people murdered.

“Our objection is based on his public record — his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, and his employment of, support for, or association with individuals who have minimized 9/11, defended terrorists, or even suggested America ‘deserved’ the attacks,” said Giovanni Galante – whose 29-year-old wife Grace Catherine Galante was among 2,977 innocents killed by al-Qaeda terrorists.

Galante, 55, is one of the organizers of a petition drive that has collected over 1,100 signatures in a little over a week, including from at least 300 victims’ families.

Here's a link to the petition, which everybody who recognizes what's wrong with Mamdani should sign. And it's not just him who shouldn't be allowed at the 911 Memorial site and service. It's also anybody who blatantly voted for him to start with. All who voted for Mamdani did a terrible disservice to the victims of al Qaeda, should be ashamed of themselves, and have no business being anywhere near the site.

As Catherine Salgado says:

Some families of 9/11 victims don’t want commie Mayor Zohran Mamdani to attend the annual memorial for the New York City victims of the devastating Islamic jihad attack. And they have very good reasons for their opinion.

The 2026 memorial for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks is of particular importance, because it will mark exactly 25 years. Naturally, some family members of those who died as a result of Islamic terrorism exactly a quarter century ago do not want an apologist for Islamic terrorism as a featured speaker at the memorial. Mamdani has defended jihadis, publicly joined prayers for killing infidels, appeared at events and mosques with pro-terror radicals, and fueled violent antisemitism. He represents the evil ideology that caused the al-Qaida 9/11 attacks.

That's precisely why he should be shunned. Here's more:

The petition catalogues a series of concerns about Mayor Mamdani, the city's first Muslim mayor, who has been in office since January.

Among them is his refusal to condemn the "globalise the intifada" rallying cry, and his association during last year's mayoral campaign with Imam Siraj Wahhaj - a Brooklyn cleric who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Petitioners also take issue with his appointment of Ramzi Kassem as the city's chief counsel, noting Kassem previously defended al-Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Darbi - who admitted involvement in a 2002 plot to bomb a French oil tanker.

Further grievances include Mayor Mamdani's endorsement of Democratic Socialist of America member Aber Kawas for a state Senate seat, despite her having once characterised the September 11 attacks as something "a couple of people did."

Cheri Sparacio, another organiser whose husband Thomas died in the attacks, said there were "so many other examples" of why his attendance would be "disrespectful" that "we couldn't fit them on the list."

The Staten Island resident pointed to the mayor's longstanding ties to left-wing influencer Hasan Piker, who once said America "deserved" the 2001 attacks.

Mamdani should be denaturalized and deported too, as should all the offenders he associated with. And any 911 Families who speak at the service should publicly condemn him in the sternest terms possible. Mamdani's colleagues, appointees and other associates who uphold evil like he does should also not be allowed at the 911 Memorial service.

Possible Muslim convert in NYC stabbed 2 victims

One Asian man and one Jewish man were stabbed by a criminal who called out a common exclamation by jihadists:

A 51-year-old man is in custody after he allegedly stabbed two people Thursday on New York’s Upper West Side, according to police.

Raul Morales was arrested in connection with the incident, according to a Thursday statement shared on X by New York Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica Tisch. He allegedly stabbed an Asian male and a Jewish male in two separate attacks.

One victim was found near Amsterdam Avenue and West 86th Street, while the other victim was found near West 84th Street and Central Park West, according to FOX 5 New York. Witnesses allege that the suspect shouted “Allahu Akbar” before the incident, Tisch said.

Both victims were transported to a local hospital and are expected to survive. There is no link between the suspect and the two victims or between either of the victims. The suspect was arrested at 89th Street and Amsterdam Avenue thanks to the help of a Good Samaritan, police said.

The NYPD is investigating and believes mental health may have played a role in the incident. They are also determining whether the incident is a hate crime.

Democratic New York Assemblyman Micah Lasher was at the scene of the incident and said the Jewish victim was wearing a kippah, the Times of Israel reported. The incident occurred on Tisha B’av, the Jewish day of mourning, which is marked by prayer and fasting, according to the outlet. Tisha B’av was observed from sunset on July 22 to nightfall on July 23 this year, according to Chabad.org.

It's possible the criminal is a Muslim convert, yet the police, rather predictably, choose to avoid any challenging issues, all for the sake of pleasing their new master, mayor Zohran Mamdani, whom some have blamed for worsening the dangerous atmosphere with his own anti-Israel rhetoric. Yet he refuses to take any responsibility for what he's led to:

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Friday rebuffed mounting pressure from Jewish community leaders urging him to apologize for past anti-Israel statements.

The refusal followed Thursday’s attack on the Upper West Side where a man wearing a kippah was stabbed on the fast day of Tisha B’Av by an attacker who yelled “Allahu Akbar" during the stabbing. [...]

Mamdani has long come under fire for his anti-Israel stance. This week, he published a video in which the mayor conceded that he lacked the authority to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits New York City - a pledge he had made repeatedly during his campaign - while maintaining his characterization of Netanyahu as a "war criminal."

All that says is that Mamdani has no remorse over what he's led to, including racist attacks on Asians. He doesn't deserve to be a mayor.

Update: confirmation's come in that Morales had a koran and a biography of Che Guevara in his house.

USA administration cannot abandon the Iranian people who're oppressed

Jamie Fly and Katie LaRoque at Freedom House make a vital point why it's wrong for the USA administration to take any steps that would enable a sadistic dictatorship to remain in place and continue subjecting its citizens to horror stories:

In early 2026, when Iranian surgeon Alireza Golchini saw protesters with gunshot and stab wounds from the regime, he did what doctors are trained to do: he treated them. For that, Iranian authorities arrested him, charged him with “waging war against God,” and threatened him with a sentence that can carry the death penalty. His alleged crime was not violence or espionage; it was providing medical care to wounded Iranians.

His story is a reminder of a simple reality: the Islamic Republic is one of the world’s most repressive regimes. Just recently, a woman was sentenced to 74 lashes for singing in a YouTube video without a hijab, and a 17-year-old swimmer and boxer was sentenced to death for participating in a protest. The regime just executed another dissident, bringing the total number of political executions in 2026 to at least 45.

[...] For the Iranian people, however, the US-Iran deal as currently formulated is likely to deepen repression. It will strengthen the authorities that only months ago were imprisoning, executing, and killing Iranians in the streets for demanding basic freedoms and improved living conditions.

Late in 2025 and early 2026, millions of Iranians took to the streets in the most significant challenge the Islamic Republic has faced in decades. Authorities answered with a crackdown that left thousands dead and tens of thousands arrested. The regime also imposed a near-total internet shutdown that lasted for months, cutting Iranians off from one another and from a world that might otherwise have witnessed the scale of the violence. Yet reports indicate that a final agreement could bring this same regime sweeping sanctions relief, access to frozen assets, and billions of dollars in new investment. For Iranians who risked their lives demanding change, the likely outcome is not a more moderate government, but a more entrenched and repressive one.

[...] At a minimum, the United States should make any relief conditional on five things: the release of Iran’s political prisoners, an end to the executions handed down in protest cases, a binding guarantee against another nationwide internet shutdown, and the return of the Americans now imprisoned in Iran or barred from leaving—six by the assessment of the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation. Tehran should also be required to come clean about the fate of kidnapped former FBI Agent Bob Levinson and help his family recover his remains. These are among the clearest and most immediate signs of whether Iranian authorities are prepared to act in good faith.

See, these are vital reasons to topple a savage dictatorship, along with exiling monsters from what you would think civilized countries. I notice that Federalist editor John Daniel Davidson, who previously took disturbing positions that put his supposed understandings of reality under question marks, is now seemingly making valid points about the state of Europe while discussing SCOTUS' defeatist positions on birthright citizenship in the USA:

In countries like France and Britain, which have large numbers of Muslim migrants, this means multigenerational communities of non-citizens with a totally different cultural and political worldview — one that’s openly hostile to the host country. They will eventually, as they are beginning to do now, carve out their own insular polities within the nation, Balkanizing the country and destroying the possibility of republican self-government or even the possibility of national survival. An Islamified Britain will no longer be Britain, but something else.

Obviously, this can't go unopposed, but then, why did Dumberson oppose the war against Iran? Considering their Islamic tyrants were financing jihadism overseas, they could also be financing infiltration into the USA through illegal immigration, and does that sit well with Dumberson? Does it sit well with him that an innocent and defenseless woman could already have been tortured over an Orwellian Thoughtcrime? If he's not willing to approve of taking serious action against sadists in Islamofascist countries like Iran, then this current editorial of his rings totally hollow. That's why what he's saying now should be approached with caution, because it's not enough to defend just your home country, and to turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the plight of innocent foreigners in distress is offensive, morally or otherwise.

If the Trump administration continues to allow the Islamofascist dictatorship in Iran to continue governing, it's always possible that could ruin election chances in mid-term. And if that's what happens, it'll make clear that when serious action isn't put to use, no matter the turnout, you cannot be surprised if the public will ultimately be disillusioned with the notion certain movements like conservatives really support responsibility, and applying equal standards everywhere. Also note how the Daily Caller is writing reports that're potentially hostile to Israel, which seem to be lamenting that Israel's military wanted to terminate "negotiators" from Iran, and you know something's wrong. If those very "negotiators" harbor Islamofascist beliefs themselves and are loyal to the dictatorship, why are they considered valuable? There are no doubt movements in the country that can be considered far better candidates for replacing the tyrants, and refusing to consider them only worsens the situation.

Even naturalized citizens have to be exiled if they commit offensive crimes

The USA Senate is looking for ways to deport naturalized citizens who commit severe offenses:

There are few remedies for removing foreign nationals who committed violent crimes, joined terrorist groups, or engaged in large-scale fraud after they became American citizens, lawmakers noted at a Senate hearing Wednesday.

Ken Cuccinelli, a former acting director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, pointed to two key cases that he said show the current law isn’t working, in his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.

In March of this year, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone, opened fire in a classroom at Old Dominion University, where he killed Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, an ROTC leader. In 2017, Jalloh pleaded guilty to providing material support to the Islamic State. He was reportedly sentenced to 11 years in prison but released early after completing a drug treatment program.

“Despite his terrorism conviction, Jalloh was never denaturalized and deported. Under current law, terrorism is prima facie evidence of fraudulent procurement only within five years of naturalization,” Cuccinelli said. “Because Jalloh’s conduct fell outside that window, the government had no clear path to remove him. A brave American soldier died because of that gap.”

Cuccinelli brought up another example: Mirsad Ramic, a Bosnian national who became a naturalized citizen and lived in Kentucky before he was convicted last year of providing material support to the Islamic State terrorist group.

“We must act on multiple fronts, strengthen the front end, so adjudicators conduct meaningful inquiries, and every applicant is thoroughly tested for hostility to American principles,” Cuccinelli said.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., the subcommittee chairman, sponsored the SCAM Act, short for “Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation.” In other cases, he noted, naturalized citizens joined the Islamic State terrorist group or al-Qaeda or joined a drug trafficking cartel.

“If a man takes the oath of allegiance and then joins ISIS, the fraud likely began long before the battlefield,” Schmitt said Wednesday. “If the man swears attachment to the Constitution, then spies for a foreign country, the betrayal likely began before the indictment. If a man claims good, moral character and then steals millions from the American people, the lie may have been present at naturalization.”

He said his bill would make it easier to denaturalize and remove immigrants who naturalized in the country and then committed a felony.

“We need a serious nationwide denaturalization effort against fraudsters, felons, terrorists, spies, and anyone who obtained American citizenship by deceit,” Schmitt said. “If the government never revokes citizenship obtained by fraud, the oath becomes theater. The application becomes a game.”

In simpler terms, one could say what's called for here is a clear law making it easier to exile foreign nationals who commit severe offenses, and it's something tons of countries that want to remain civilized are in dire need of. We have to hope the GOP will make a serious effort to pass such bills through if they want to make the USA safer again for starters. Then, Europe will definitely need it next.

It's okay to defend a sane country from being corrupted

J.D. Vance sent an important message of support to the citizenry of Britain that applies also to countries like France, Italy, Spain, Denmark and even Israel:

U.S. Vice President JD Vance encouraged the British public protesting against the longstanding government policy of flooding the jobs market with mass migration to “just keep going” and remember “it’s OK” to want to live in a safe, culturally homogenous place.

The U.S. Vice President stood in for press secretary Karoline Leavitt at the White House press briefing room on Tuesday to cover her maternity leave, as reported by Breitbart News, and amid responses for a wide range of questions spoke out about the weekend’s Unite The Kingdom Rally.

The rally, convened by veteran street organiser and child rape gang critic Tommy Robinson, was called on Saturday 16th in defence of freedom of speech, civil liberties, and “our shared British identity, our history, our heritage, and the culture that connects England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland”.

Responding to a question that specifically highlighted protester’s concerns about “mass illegal migration and replacement of British culture”, Vance encouraged Britons who reject the modern paradigm of business-dominated government constantly pushing wages lower through human quantitative easing to keep fighting.

Nukhba jihadists must face charges for their sexual violence crimes

Sharon Zaghagi Pinhas reminds everyone that the sexual violence committed by Hamas/Nukhba jihadists in Gaza during October 7, 2023 cannot be forgotten:

One central question has not been addressed: whether the Nukhba terrorists will be prosecuted for the sex crimes committed on October 7 and in captivity. Despite repeated attempts around the world to silence and deny them, there is no doubt: grave sex crimes were committed strategically, systematically and on a large scale throughout the attack and in captivity. Many of the female and male victims were murdered, whether during the attack or afterward, and many of the crimes were committed deliberately in full view of others in order to sow terror. All publicly accessible sources clearly indicate that the Nukhba terrorists were driven by an extremist ideology rooted in an explicit intent to commit genocide and in the total denial of the humanity of Israel's population.

Since October 7, I have taken part, together with my colleagues in the Dinah Project at the Rackman Center at Bar-Ilan University, in a difficult and exhausting struggle in which the State of Israel and many civil society organizations joined forces to bring recognition and justice for the female and male victims. [...]

After all this, it is inconceivable that the indictments against the Nukhba terrorists will not include charges over sex crimes. Yet for now, all official bodies are silent whenever the question of filing indictments over the sex crimes is raised.

This silence is deeply troubling.

The sex crimes were committed as part of a mass assault by Nukhba terrorists, aimed at dehumanization and genocide. The terrorists operated inside an inconceivable "vacuum" in which everything was "permitted," murder, massacre and sex crimes alike.

Legally, in such a case, all the terrorists who chose to take part in the mass assault can be held jointly responsible for all the crimes committed during the attack, including the sex crimes, even if they did not physically commit them themselves.

And all those guilty must definitely must be held responsible, and severely punished for their repulsive crimes.

Anyway, it's good to inform that the Knesset approved a law to prosecute the monsters:

The Knesset plenum approved the second and third readings of the bill to prosecute the perpetrators of the October 7 massacre on Monday evening.

The law, which passed with a rare consensus of 93 supporters, establishes the legal infrastructure to try Hamas terrorists and their accomplices for the most heinous crimes committed during the murderous attack. The legislation sets the maximum penalty at death.

Furthermore, a dramatic reservation proposed by MKs Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionist Party) and Yulia Malinovsky (Yisrael Beytenu) was approved, stipulating that terrorists tried under this framework will never be released from prison, even as part of future prisoner exchange deals.

Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin welcomed the approval, stating, "This law ensures that the terrorists and their accomplices will stand trial and face justice, including the imposition of death sentences. From the depths of the horrific massacre we have risen - for the memory of the murdered, for their families, for those wounded in body and soul, for those who were taken hostage, and for the entire nation - to fulfill our supreme moral obligation: to bring the perpetrators of this ghastly slaughter to justice. I thank Constitution Committee chairman MK Simcha Rothman, MK Yulia Malinovsky, and all those involved in the vital work of advancing this legislation."

The news about the investigation into the Hamas' sexual violence, interestingly enough, has been covered by CNN for starters, although not without certain PC dictations in descriptions of the monsters:

Hamas militants and their allies raped, assaulted and sexually tortured their victims during and after the October 7, 2023 terror attack on southern Israel “to maximize pain and suffering,” a landmark new report has concluded.

Shared first with CNN, the report presents the most comprehensive body of evidence yet of sexual and gender-based violence against women, men and children, which it describes as “systematic, widespread, and integral to” the assault.

“The most important finding is the fact that the sexual violence on October 7 and against hostages in captivity has been a calculated strategy by Hamas,” lead author and human rights expert Cochav Elkayam-Levy told CNN.

Notice how they stick solidly with the PC term "militants" rather than "terrorists". It shouldn't have to take a genius to make clear that kind of restriction is unacceptable.

The news was also covered by the Toronto Globe and Mail, i24news, the Jerusalem Post, and here's more from them, along with an op-ed that makes clear the racist denialism must end:

With the release of this irrefutable proof, let this be the final day of October 7 denialism. For months, the world has watched as high-profile figures used their massive platforms to cast doubt on the suffering of Israeli women. Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters has been among the most vocal, publicly claiming there is “no evidence” of Hamas rapes and dismissing the testimonies of survivors and first responders as “filthy, disgusting lies.”

Similarly, activists like Samantha Pearson, a former director of a Canadian sexual assault center, and Canadian politician Sarah Jama signed a letter dismissing reports of sexual violence as “unverified accusations.”

Even entertainment industry figures, such as Susan Sarandon, have contributed to the skepticism by attempting to “contextualize” the events in ways that effectively minimize the crimes. When global feminist organizations and UN bodies waited months to even acknowledge these atrocities, they provided a shield for Hamas and signaled worldwide that the slogan “Believe Women” has a geographic and political limit.

This report removes that shield once and for all. It demands that the world stop asking for “more evidence” when the archives are already overflowing with it.

There is, however, a profound note of hope within these harrowing pages. The report’s extensive legal analysis provides a clear evidentiary basis for the investigation and prosecution of these acts as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocidal acts under international law.

Waters is one of the most stunningly repugnant figures in the entertainment industry, and no sane person should buy his music albums. And as for Sarandon, it's about time she retired from acting. And anybody who's going to deny serious crimes cannot work at a center for treating rape victims.

Update: here's more from Breitbart.

IDF worked to erase footage from October 7, 2023

A most horrific discovery was made that the same outfit that enabled sexual discrimination against female soldiers over petty issues and ignored warnings of a female observer also worked to erase footage of investigations into the October 7, 2023 massacre:

A Channel 12 report has revealed new details about the military mechanism that operated on the ground after October 7th to gain exclusive control over documentation from the massacre.

The special unit was established in 2020 as a lesson from previous operations in the Gaza Strip, and is headed by Lieutenant Colonel N. On October 7th, 2023, the unit's soldiers, all former members of elite units who received fictitious officer ranks in order to move freely, were deployed to the mission defined as "classified and complex."

The unit's mission was clear: collect every bit of footage from the massacre before anyone else lays their hands on it. The teams worked through several different means. The soldiers broke into kibbutz offices and homes to seize DVR machines from closed-circuit television systems. In the Gaza envelope communities and the Nova Festival site, the soldiers collected dozens of memory cards from dashcams. Additionally, they collected hundreds of mobile phones, belonging to both Nukhba terrorists and Israeli citizens, both the victims and the survivors. The soldiers carried military iPhones without SIM cards and uploaded the materials to an internal IDF Telegram in real-time.

Sources in the unit recounted: "We promised a guy from Be'eri that we would not delete anything and that we'd return everything, and that didn't happen. Everything was deleted. They instructed us not to do anything, and only then to return the devices. We deleted the content from some of the phones we returned, including videos and recordings of conversations between people from the Gaza envelope and the party."

According to the sources, the orders came directly from the Operations Directorate, and the orders were clear: "Collect everything and don't leave anything."

While the soldiers collected materials under fire, an "editing operations room" was opened on a floor that was rented out in a Tel Aviv office building. In the operations room, professional video editors dealt with the materials. Some of the materials were compiled into the video shown to the international audience to prove the scope of the atrocities.

According to the soldiers, a significant amount of the raw footage "disappeared" into the military system and never reached the families or civilian investigation teams.

The IDF did not comment on the report.

It shouldn't have to be told this is a most repulsive discovery, no matter how unshocking it may be to some at this point. No doubt, some people are wondering if some IDF officials were collaborators who enabled the horror to occur. And collaborators/infiltrators are a problem everywhere. What the military officials who worked to erase vital information did is offensive to the families of the victims along with the victims themselves. It's also stunning how desensitized to violence some people can be, that they'd even practically engage in cover up cliches.

The new right-wing anti-Trump crowd kowtows to Islam

Andrea Widburg discussed how bad right-wingers like Tucker Carlson, and also Pope Leo, have sold out to Islam along their path to undermining Donald Trump's policies:

Today’s news brought stories of two thought leaders—the Pope and Tucker Carlson—showing reverence for Islam. This differs from the left’s long-standing political allegiance with Islamic causes, something reflecting that the left and Islam share a common goal, which is the West’s destruction. Instead, this is a reverence for the Islamic faith. That’s new and, I must say, as someone who likes the Judeo-Christian worldview, disturbing.

The way I see it, the Koran is a pastiche of random lessons from the Bible, with which Mohammed was clearly familiar, plus a lot of rules that worked well for Mohammed’s personal advancement. Thus, Mohammed echoed such principles as a unitary god and the rejection of idolatry, charity to the poor, honesty in trade, respect for parents, mercy and forgiveness, and keeping one’s word.

The problem is that he added other rules that were carve-outs for Muslims. Thus, Mohammed himself is idolized to the point at which he is indistinguishable from God, sharia laws are utterly merciless, and Muslims have no obligation to extend to non-Muslims mercy, honesty in trade, or keeping one’s word.

In addition, Islam has icky things layered over it. For example, because the 50-year-old Mohammed married a six-year-old and consummated the marriage when he was 53 and she was nine, that’s a right given to all Muslim men. And because Mohammed veiled his wives because he was a prophet, Muslim women must wear tents.

Lastly, of course, there’s the whole war thing. Mohammed mandated conquest and war against infidels. Some people counter this by pointing to the violence in the Bible but the Bible is both a religious book and a history book. It recounts battles. But there is no “perfect man” telling Christians and Jews that they must convert the world through fire and sword, nor that women are the sexual spoils of such wars.

What’s disturbing is that two Western men who proclaim both their faith and hostility to Trump and the MAGA movement have lately become very supportive of Islam.

You could probably add a few more rotten apples to the list, those being the aforementioned RINO writers at the Federalist, who've also signaled support for Carlson and Leo. What the main 2 figures in focus are doing is merely an attempt to stealth indoctrinate the western populace under the guise of "conservatism", and we must hope most of the population understands what sellouts both these disgraces really are. They both keep silent on Christians persecuated by Islam, and it's chilling to wonder if both could be secret converts to Islam, much like some British in past decades wondered if King Charles was secretly a convert. Why, what if French communist Jean-Luc Melenchon is? For now, it's disgusting how Leo's following up Carlson as a religious figure who's a dhimmi sellout.

Pope Leo's tour of dhimmitude continues

The current Catholic pope, whom Donald Trump recently took issue with over his disturbing kowtowing to bad causes, is now disembarking on a journey to Algeria, where he'll be the first pope to visit the Muslim dominated country:

Leo XIV will become the first pope to visit Algeria on Monday, taking a message of dialogue with Islam on a trip that also represents a personal pilgrimage for the American pontiff.

Algeria is the first stop on an 11-day tour of four African nations, covering 18,000 kilometres and also taking in Cameroon, Angola and Equatorial Guinea from April 13 to 23.

No other pontiff has visited Algeria, a North African country where Islam is the state religion, and the 70-year-old’s arrival is being eagerly awaited by the Catholic minority.

The visit also holds a strong personal dimension for Pope Leo, as modern-day Algeria was home to Saint Augustine (354-430), a great Christian theologian whose spiritual legacy permeates his pontificate.

As the world watches anxiously with war raging in the Middle East, peaceful coexistence will be at the heart of the pope’s message in a country where 99 percent of its 47 million inhabitants are Muslim.

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the pope’s aim was to “address the Islamic world, but also to confront a common challenge of coexistence”.

Algeria’s constitution guarantees freedom of worship, although the authorities must approve both the place of worship and the preacher.

Yet human rights groups say the repression of religious minorities has continued in Algeria in recent years.

Don't count on Leo bringing up the persecution of Christians in the region, or even in Syria, for that matter. Islam doesn't recognize co-existence. It only recognizes erasure and replacement of all other cultures, though what's really horrific is the violent content of the koran.

Predictably, Leo responded to Trump's criticisms about how you could possibly expect:

Pope Leo XIV responded Monday to President Donald Trump criticising him over the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, telling reporters the Vatican works for peace and reconciliation based on the teachings of the Gospel, adding he fears neither the Trump administration or vigorous debate.

“To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here, I think is not understanding what the message of the Gospel is,” Leo told the Associated Press aboard the papal plane en route to Algeria where he is beginning an historic four-country Africa trip.

“And I’m sorry to hear that but I will continue on what I believe is the mission of the church in the world today.”

And that's "turning the other cheek" when it comes to a savage-run country building nuclear weapons, huh? Leo's doing nothing to turn the tide on the Religion of Peace, and John Daniel Davidson at the Federalist news site so far hasn't commented on where the pope's going, which only suggests said site's not really interested in getting rid of Islam as a "teaching tool".

Defeating Hezbollah is a main objective in Lebanon

Israel's defense minister made the point now, though there's a certain point of contention to be found here:

Defense Minister Israel Katz says Israel remains committed to disarming Hezbollah “through military and political means.”

“Israel’s policy in Lebanon has been and remains clear: the top objective is the disarmament of Hezbollah through military and political means, regardless of the Iran issue,” Katz says following an assessment with military officials.

Katz says the IDF is completing its ground offensive in southern Lebanon up to the line from which Hezbollah can launch anti-tank missiles at Israeli communities.

Well I do hope they realize that allowing the Hezbollah to remain even in northern Lebanon is unacceptable, since it would give them a chance to rebuild one day, with or without Iran's backing. Something that might be called "hudna" in Islamic doctrine. And it's high time that something were done to ensure Lebanon can one day return to having a non-Muslim majority and/or government run the country again, which would make the region safer.

The Hamas terrorist organization is rebuilding in Gaza

Some experts are warning that, while the war against Iran and Lebanon continue, the Hamas has been exploiting that time in order to rebuild its grip on Gaza:

While Israel focuses on threats from Iran and the northern front, Hamas is quietly reconstructing its infrastructure and strengthening control over Gaza, according to security experts. Footage and intelligence reveal convoys guarded by armed operatives, tunnels being refurbished, and the organization reestablishing itself economically-raising concerns among residents near the Gaza border that warnings of Hamas’s collapse have been premature.

Raphael Hayon, who operates an independent intelligence center from his home in Netivot, says he identified signs of distress and preparations for raids even before the October ceasefire. In an interview with Alon Sharvit on Kan News, Hayon warns that Hamas is undergoing a rapid reconstruction process.

He cites recent videos showing convoys of trucks entering Gaza, guarded by armed Hamas operatives. The footage illustrates Hamas’s full control over civilian areas up to the “yellow line," with personnel carrying light weapons and RPGs directing movement and setting the agenda on Gaza’s streets.

The Israeli authorities have been allowing truck convoys into Gaza without any inspection? I don't know, but if that's even remotely the case, it shows how security continues to be a serious fiasco, as is the way the Hamas is allowed to continue trying to reorganize. The IDF will have to prove they can act upon this info.
