Antisemitism was higher worldwide in 2023, even before October 7, report states
[Ynet] In the aftermath of the October 7 massacre committed in Israel by Hamas, the world has seen the worst wave of antisemitic incidents since the end of World War II, according to an annual global antisemitism report issued Sunday. But in the nine months of 2023 before October 7 during which there were no major upheavals, most countries with significant Jewish populations saw a rise in the number of antisemitic incidents compared to the same period in 2022, including the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, Brazil, The Netherlands and Mexico.

"This means that the war in Gaza helped spread a fire that was already out of control. And it was already out of control despite the significant efforts invested in recent years by governments on educational and legal initiatives aimed at reversing the trend," according to the Annual Antisemitism Worldwide Report, published by Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which was released on Sunday ahead of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom Hashoah.

What we should teach on Yom Hashoah is what it wasn't the first time (not even the 21st) they tried*. And, most importantly, it's not the last.
*And every time they try and fail - they hate us more.

#1  Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day for us heathens.

Worth taking note of by civilized people because if, some particular "they", they would do it to them, they would to it to you and me if the mood arose. I was kind of hoping us humans had gotten all this monkey-brain stuff sorted in the last century, but such is not the case.

#2  sorted in the last century, but such is not the case.

Not the case indeed. Many are still mindset (if you wish to call it that) back in the 7th century and many more are hellbent on regressing to it.

Trump Puts The Kibosh On Creating A Palestinian State
[WIRE] Former President Donald Trump said during an interview this week that he no longer supports a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians following the October 7 massacre.

Trump made the remarks during an interview with TIME Magazine while discussing Israel’s military operation against the Hamas terrorist organization.

"I’m not sure a two-state solution anymore is gonna work," Trump said. "Everybody was talking about two states, even when I was there."

"There was a time when I thought two states could work," he continued. "Now I think two states is going to be very, very tough. I think it’s going to be much tougher to get. I also think you have fewer people that liked the idea. You had a lot of people that liked the idea four years ago. Today, you have far fewer people that like that idea. There may not be another idea."

Trump noted that Palestinian children are taught to hate Israel from the day that they are born, which makes achieving peace nearly impossible.

He also made clear that if Iran were to attack Israel, there is no question that he would defend and protect Israel.

Trump’s remarks about a Palestinian state come as Israeli leaders have also shut down the idea because of the obvious security risk that it would create for Israel.

#1  There was a lot of Western travelers (including Mark Twain) to Holy Land in 19th century. All agree on one, relevant, fact: outside the four cities, the land is empty. It's a mosaic of desert & swamps.
That is Falestinians are NOT descendants of Arabs who lived there before the Jews came back and restored the Land. They are exactly like the Muzzies currently infecting EUrope and demanding caliphate.

IDF Blows Up Hamas Rocket Launcher Next To Humanitarian Area Near Rafah, Anti-Israel Trolls Cry ‘War Crime'
[LI] Anti-Israel trolls are again crying foul after Israeli military destroyed a Hamas rocket launcher next to a humanitarian area in Rafah, southern Gaza.

Pro-Palestinian agitators on Twitter accused Israel of a ’war crime’ and ’genocide’ after an Israeli fighter jet on Friday struck a launcher used by terrorists to fire rockets towards southern Israel.

"Yesterday (Friday), a launch that was identified crossing from the area of Khan Yunis toward Kibbutz Ein HaShlosha fell near the security fence area in the southern Gaza Strip. Shortly after, IAF fighter jets struck terror targets adjacent to a launch site in the area of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip," the Israeli military disclosed in a press release Saturday.

The IDF guided the Gaza civilians away from the target ahead of the strike, even at the cost of losing the element of surprise.

"Additionally, IAF aircraft struck a loaded mortar launcher ready to fire toward IDF troops in the central Gaza Strip. Furthermore, in the southern Gaza Strip, after the IDF confirmed the evacuation of civilians located near the area, IAF fighter jets struck rocket launchers aimed to launch toward Israel in the southern Gaza Strip," the press statement added.

The incident took place in Khan Yunis, a town couple of miles from Rafah — the last remaining Hamas stronghold in Gaza. The IDF is setting up a massive tent city in the area to accommodate civilian evacuees from Rafah ahead of an impending military operation aimed at freeing the hostages and eliminating Hamas’s Gaza-based terrorist leadership.

#3  At least 10 hurt in rocket attack on Kerem Shalom fired from Rafah

At least 10 people were hurt in a barrage of some 14 rockets and mortars was fired at Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and Gaza from the Rafah area on Sunday, in what is considered an unusual incident that comes after months of fighting in the Gaza Strip. Hamas immediately claimed responsibility for the strike.

Israeli forces conduct raid near West Bank's Tulkarm
[GEO.TV] Israeli forces on Saturday conducted a raid in the town of Deir al-Ghusun, near Tulkarm, surrounding a house and partially demolishing it.

Continuous exchange of fire could be heard in the area during the operation which started overnight and continued through the morning.
Continuous exchange of gunfire usually means you've found the bad guys...
Violence in the West Bank has risen with frequent Israeli raids and rampages by Jewish settlers in Paleostinian villages.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women.

Hamas negotiators arrive in Cairo for Gaza truce talks
The food is better than back home, and the nights are quieter without IAF bombing runs and IDF raids. And since Hamas’s purpose is to run out the clock until Allah (or Iran) finally intervenes and forces Israel to surrender, making no progress suits their needs perfectly.

Egypt's state-affiliated al-Qahera News TV channel also confirmed the arrival of the Hamas delegation in Cairo.

"The results today will be different. We have reached an agreement over many points, and a few point remain," one Egyptian security source told Rooters.

Red Crescent shows destruction at Al-Amal hospital, surroundings after Israeli attacks

#1  The Palestine Red Crescent has been a captive of Hamas at least since 1999. Then it had 3.500 staff, 15,000 volunteers, 70 hospitals and 30 clinics. Over the past quarter century it has only enlarged its outreach. Its reporting should in all cases be questioned.

Northern Gaza experiencing 'full-blown famine': UN food agency chief

Thousands of Paleostinians are starving after more than six months of war, he added.

"It’s horror. There is famine — full-blown famine — in the north and it’s moving its way south."
