#UN complicity in Hamas terrorism

Yet to see the UN condemn Hamas for the video of Hamas graffiti marking Gazans beating them with batons, then leaving them tied up and blindfolded — because the civilians had tried to access food aid at the humanitarian warehouse.
Instead, UN officials claim the canard “targeted starvation campaign”, yet there are over 1,150 trucks still waiting to be collected at Kerem and Erez Crossings. Commercial trucks have armed guards riding atop, the UN should do the same and stop blaming Israel.

2 am rant cuz I can’t sleep:
I’ve stated repeatedly that I’m pro-Palestine and pro-peace, so I obviously want a two sided, negotiated ceasefire and permanent peace for all. I’ve repeatedly stated that I do not condone the degree of heavy bombing taking place in Gaza.
But it’s currently 2:15 in the morning and I am haunted. I’m haunted by the fact that the world saw the brutal attack on Jews and celebrated. I’m haunted by the number of high l-profile celebrities who felt moved to speak out for Palestine — wearing flags and pins and signing demands for Israel to stop bombing, but who said nothing about the dead and tortured and kidnapped Jews.
Yes, what is happening in Palestine is and continues to be a tragedy.
But apparently what happened and is happening to Jews worldwide and Israelis of all religions simply isn’t. At least not enough of one. Not enough of one to move these high-profile folks to speak out for us. Not enough of a tragedy to say the names of the hostages, including one forced to give birth while kidnapped by terrorists. Not enough of a tragedy to condemn the violence happening against Jews. Not enough to speak out on behalf of a 20-year-old singer made to fear for her life because she dared to be from Israel and sing about her own trauma instead of, idk, bursting into flame or shutting up or whatever the mob wanted her to do.
No. What happens to us isn’t a tragedy. It’s a nuisance. It’s a nuisance to have to care about Jews. It gets in the way of everyone else feeling good about their “radical activism” and self-aggrandizing bravery. People of all levels and types of fame. All of whom say they only want peace and an end to pain. Yet when they mention pain, it’s always and only the Palestinian flag. When they want a ceasefire, it’s always an only in reference to Palestine. But they wouldn’t be caught dead asking for an end to Hamas or Hezbollah bombs or even acknowledging that they exist. All calls for peace involve asking Israel to lay down arms but no call for anyone attack Israel, Israelis, or Jews worldwide to do the same.
From large creators to small creators to people in day to day life, non-Jews around the world have made clear that it would be more convenient for them if we Jews just died. If we stopped ever defending ourselves or speaking up or being sad in public.
The vast majority of people speaking out would or will view this post as a justification of violence. But it’s not. It’s a condemnation of complicity from people who claim to care about peace. It is a condemnation of those who claim to be against antisemitism yet refuse to listen when Jews point out how they are contributing to and spreading more antisemitism. People and institutions worldwide have failed Jews everywhere.

Friends I’ve had for 8 years who don’t even respond to messages that I have moved out of state or even spoken to me in at least five months
So many people who are so eager to read every bit of pro-Palestine news that exists and condemn every action from Israel.
And yet…
Before the bombings. Before the reprisals. Before all the violence from Israel: where were they? All these people who so desperately beg for peace (as defined by the end of Israeli aggression only): where were they when it was just dead Jews? Where were the Instagram posts and educational content and in depth analyses of Israeli trauma and history? Where were the condemnations of Hamas? Where were those who are moved to speak for anyone and everyone but Jews?
Are we really supposed to believe any of you actually want peace? When you chant for the globalization of terror tactics that traumatized a generation of Israeli Jews? When you fail to acknowledge Jewish history in any way except to minimize it?
Before the bombing campaign, where were the red carpet statement pins and gowns featuring Jewish stars?
How are we Jews anywhere in the world literally ever supposed to believe that you’re not actively cheering for our deaths? Maybe not in front of our faces, but certainly behind our backs. We know. We know you’re afraid to be less than tactful in front of us, but that you describe our rapes and murders and social exclusion and kidnappings as “unfortunate but necessary.”
I’m reminded of when Israel was first created. At a time where every Jew on earth was traumatized directly because the Holocaust firsthand, Britain left the territory of mandatory Palestine and the UN allowed for the creation of a Jewish state. And then proceeded to heckle the traumatized survivors for handling its creation poorly. The Nakba is a tragedy and an outrage and I’ll never deny that.
But…y’all are no different from the people who stood on the sidelines as Israel was first created. Why was it up to an actively traumatized people who had very recently (and after a continuous 2,000 year period of expulsions and pogroms and murders) been slaughtered on an industrial scale to somehow create a perfect and stable government in a land where people despised them?
The world needs to own up to the fact that everything that ever went wrong in Israel’s creation is a direct result of the continuous and still ongoing contempt for Jews by all the other countries that could have stepped in to help and provide Jews with a guarantee of safety at any time in the last 2,000 years in general but also since 1934 specifically. And you didn’t. Your great grandparents and grandparents and parents all didn’t do jack shit. And you are following in their footsteps. You are all doing just as they did: standing on the sidelines and heckling the Jews you don’t like for fighting back too aggressively.
But what exactly have you or anyone else done to help Jews in your communities or in Israel to not feel like caged animals forced to fight for survival? Like wild beasts you let loose for slaughter in a coliseum for your own enjoyment? At what point have you worked to provide Jews with other options? How have you made the Jews in your life feel safe or seen during this time? How have you started to deconstruct the harmful anti-Jewish bias you inherited from the people you love?
Is it ok that Netanyahu and the Likud government is bombing Palestine to the extent it is currently doing? Of course not. And I’ll never say otherwise.
But aside from yelling “hey stop it!” at Israel or “you’re complicit!” at Jews who fail to join your chanting, what exactly have you done at any point since this started to make the world safer for any of us?
Because from what I can see, the vast majority of you have done nothing. And every Jew I’ve spoken to in the last half a year has seen the exact same nothing.
Too many of you are too concerned with being on the right side of history. Most of you aren’t famous actors or musicians or whatever. Most of you are just people. History won’t remember you individually. Who knows what history will say about the movements of which you were a part? My guess is that you’ll be called passionate and outraged and sympathetic, but ultimately disorganized and misguided.
But you know who will remember you? Every Jew you’ve encountered since 10/7. We will remember each individual we saw who celebrated our death or ghosted us or made us feel unwelcome in our own lives.
We will remember you forever. And not fondly.
#i/p#i/p conflict#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#choose peace#a ceasefire must involve both sides ceasing to fire#and yeah#I still upset about drawfee tbh#I’m so patient and calm all the time#but I just want everyone to know that this is a choice I am actively making#because all I want to do is scream#Israel#Palestine#grief

Here's a reminder of why the Hamas massacre was one of the worst, most extreme terrorist attacks ever. Leaving out just this one Palestinian terrorist attack is horrific, and shows a clear bias, but leaving out ALL Palestinian terrorist attacks, when they are some of the most frequent, deadly and most inventive ones (later duplicated abroad by other Islamist terrorists) is even worse than bias, it's malicious, antisemitic bias. The inclusion of a Palestinian terrorism victim in New Zealand, but listing it as if it were in Palestine (implying it was Israel's, the Jewish state's, fault) further confirms that.
If you care about the victims of vehicular terror attacks carried out by an Islamist when that happens in France, but you don't when they're invented by Islamist terrorists to be used against Israeli Jews, that's just plain old antisemitism. If you don't list the victims of the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, that's antisemitism. If you misrepresent a terror attack to vilify Jews, that's antisemitism.
So this is your periodical reminder: the UN is complicit. The UN is infected by antisemitism and IS SO VERY COMPLICIT.

just checked the site of Germany's biggest publically funded news network and saw this article:
"Why pro-palestinian posts are dominating"
And their arguments for why there are more pro-palestinian posts than pro-israeli posts - something they condemn as obfuscation of facts , false narratives and antisemitism btw - are absolutely baffling.
Not once do they consider that maybe people see Israel dropping hundreds of bombs a day, murdering thousands of people, dropping white phosphorus, starving an entire population, bombing hospitals and ambulances, killing members of international aid agencies, killing specifically journalists, cutting off electricity and cell service, causing the spread of typhus and cholera by restricting access to clean water and medical help, directly stating their genocidal intent again and again - all of which has been condemned by international organisations like Doctors without Borders and WHO, has been called a genocide by the UN and recently even has been called terrorism by the Pope himself - that people see this , see western politicians completely on the side of those committing the genocide and think this is untenable and try to do what they can to at least spread awareness.
No they did not consider that, not once, instead their arguments for "the dominance of pro-palestine sentiments online" are that "there are more muslims than jews worldwide" , "most people from the middle east are antisemitic", "hamas is spreading propaganda online" and "young people are foolish and easily lead astray by echo chambers" .
And they complain about there not being as many posts in the "pro-israel" and "free israel" tags , saying that it "shows an unprofessional antisemitic bias" and call for the EU to "do something" against all the pro-palestine posts, and to instead make social media sites push pro-israel stances harder. They treat pro-palestine stances as not objective and 'fake news' influenced by the narratives of 'terrorist idolisers' while pro-israel statements are treated as trustworthy, objective and morally good and necessary. They complain why there isn't the same outrage for the kidnapping victims as there is for the actual literal genocide happening, or rather they don't just complain why there isn't more outrage about the kidnapping victims, but about why there isn't more outrage for them than for the victims of the ongoing genocide.
"The user is in a so called "echo chamber" and gets a progressively one-sided view on the actually highly complicated theme complex, says Gust."
Because being angry about a genocide happening , with full funding and support of multiple western countries , means being "one sided" and being on the side of the victims instead of the side of the perpetrators (referring here of course to the israeli -and other - politicians and companies causing and supplying these attacks, not to hostages or civilians) means that you don't understand the "highly complex" theme complex of "a western ally is carpet bombing and starving a populace with the goal of ethnically cleansing the land they live on and multiple western countries fully support that" , surely all the people saying that genocide is bad and should stop have actually been brainwashed or are simply too stupid to try and see things from the angle of the politicians committing a genocide!
I might translate the whole article later but god german media is -ironically - so extremely one sided and biased it's insane.

This is HUGE.
This is DEVASTATING.
UNRWA must surely be shut down.
Oh, and don't forget that Ismail Haniyeh used to teach for UNRWA too! The murderer of Israeli man Jonathan Samerano on October 7 was an UNRWA worker, who stuffed Samerano's body into an UNRWA van (this is on security footage).
UNRWA is a money laundering, embezzling, and terrorist financing front masquerading as a humanitarian aid organisation. Any regular business implicated in even one tenth of this would have been crawling with the Feds ages ago.
There is no personal responsibility or accountability at the United Nations.
Found today -- Notice that Sinwar's bodyguard - Hani Zourab - is an UNWRA teacher from -- Ramallah -- with an Egyptian passport. UNWRA !!!! The UN (UNWRA) is in league with Hamas, and the UN should be defunded.

by Vijeta Uniyal
After nearly two months of a smear campaign against Israel for taking military action — albeit cautious and limited — against Hamas terrorists operating out of Gaza hospitals, the mainstream media is finally reporting about the misuse of Gaza’s main Shifa Hospital as a terrorist command center.
“Hamas and another Palestinian group fighting Israel used Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza to command forces and hold some hostages,” The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing U.S. intelligence sources.
The Shifa hospital in the heart of Gaza City, with over 500 beds and 1400 employees, was being used by Iran-backed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist groups to direct attacks on Israeli troops conducting ground operations in Gaza. “The complex was used by both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad to command forces fighting against Israel, according to the intelligence,” the newspaper added.
In mid-November, the IDF evacuated the hospital and took control of the compound along with its vast subterranean terror complex.
Describing the complicity of mainstream media outlets like itself and globalist institutions like the United Nations (UN) and the World Health Organization (WHO), the NYT wrote:
In the weeks since the operation [conducted by the IDF in mid-November], news organizations have continued to raise questions about Hamas’s presence at the hospital. And health and humanitarian organizations have criticized the Israeli operation. A humanitarian team lead by the World Health Organization, which visited Al-Shifa immediately after Israeli forces stormed the hospital, called it a “death zone.”
While major news outlets like the NYT, CNN, and BBC have been paddling inflated casualty figures fabricated by Hamas’s so-called ‘Health Ministry,’ they have questioned almost every single bit of evidence produced by the Israeli military and the government.

20241107 l’équation Attal-Séjourné
In July 2023, Emmanuel Macron reshuffled Elisabeth Borne's government. Séjourné contemplated the new team: "Look at these losers, it makes you feel less inadequate!" He was self-conscious about never having been a minister. On October 7, 2023, Israel was the victim of a Hamas terrorist attack. That same day, the Renaissance party was organizing its European campus in Bordeaux. The agenda needed urgent changes. Emmanuel Macron called. He related his exchange with Benjamin Netanyahu. "I just had Bibi, it's terrible. The numbers are enormous, the images are horrific. It's an act of terrorism. Don't do like Colonna who advised Israel to avoid retaliation," the President insisted. In a tweet, Catherine Colonna, Minister of Foreign Affairs, expressed her concern but added: "Violence is a dead end." "She's finished," commented Séjourné after his exchange with the President, with the Quai d'Orsay in his sights.
Always discreet. Just before Christmas 2023, he gathered his close party collaborators. He thought he would be heading the list for the European elections on June 9, he anticipated the worst and didn't want to be the gravedigger of Macronism. He was saved by the bell: Gabriel Attal became Prime Minister. If the two men were once in a civil partnership, they no longer are. After a period of silence, they resumed contact. A friend at Matignon, a protector at the Élysée, things were looking good. Well, almost. Stéphane Séjourné feared that Emmanuel Macron would keep him in his lane and project him to the Ministry of Relations with Parliament, a position the head of state had already offered him. It was the Quai or nothing. The weekend before Gabriel Attal's appointment, he prepared, calling Hubert Védrine, Dominique de Villepin, Jean-Yves Le Drian. All had held the coveted position. On Wednesday, January 11, he wasn't sure of anything. There was talk of Amélie de Montchalin for Foreign Affairs. He had to listen to Alexis Kohler list the ministers to be reassured. Very quickly, Emmanuel Macron called him, didn't dwell on the announcement and got to the essential: "You handle the disappointed ones. And you deal with the left wing that's not swallowing Dati's nomination. I'll readjust after the European elections." The readjustment was called dissolution. When did Stéphane Séjourné learn that the operation would happen? According to our information, Séjourné learned that the dissolution option had been chosen about a week before its announcement. He said nothing. In politics, Stéphane has always been one step ahead of Gabriel. In 2017, Séjourné successfully advocated for Attal — who wasn't a historical member of the movement — to get a safe constituency. When the latter became Minister of Education and then Prime Minister, his former partner advised him. For a time, the Attal-Séjourné equation also complicated the replacement of the commissioner candidate at the head of the party. Emmanuel Macron can be brutal with his early supporters. In the name of a companionship that doesn't bother with ceremony. He addressed reproaches to Séjourné about the party's organization, about Attal's hegemonic aims, about the absolute necessity to avoid confrontation. He would be heard, with Elisabeth Borne agreeing to withdraw her candidacy. The bad smell dissipated. If all goes well on November 12, Stéphane Séjourné will be European Commissioner until 2029. Emmanuel Macron will have left the Élysée two years earlier. Could it be that Séjourné is preparing a European future for his ex-boss...
So... Attal and Sejourne seemed to be in a close relationship, outside of professional commitment as Sejourne advised Attal during his tenure as the Minister of National Education. Sejourne was also 'saved by the bell' of...Attal nomination, as he expressed his desire to acquire the Quai.
Their close relationship extended beyond Attal government, as Attal-Sejourne, now becoming 'an equation' to be recognised with, as Attal will take over the position of SG, essentially succeeding the position of his former partner...
#gabriel attal#stephane sejourne#french politics#These two men are very close#The original text is self explanatory

So……has anyone else seen those compilations of Twitter posts that “prove” Israel is going to lose by praising literal terror groups? No? Just me and some people I’ve unfollowed and blocked? Okay. I’m still going to talk about it because they piss me off.
But before I start please be aware that I am not a political scientist, nor do I have any expertise in geopolitics. I am simply a person with a computer and a passion for research. The things I say here could be wrong. I am also trying to get you to agree with me, so there will be bias. Furthermore, I am doing my best to just share the most relevant information, so a lot is left out. I will source everything, and link proof that my sources are trustworthy, but I still strongly encourage you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions.
Also, TL;DR: the Middle East is really complicated and ascribing "right" or "wrong" to any one group is irresponsible
Starting with the Houthi Rebels (because I know the most about them and thus have noticed the blatant misrepresentations of their actions and beliefs the most).
The Houthi Rebels are a repressive (forcing people to abide by strict religious practices) group seeking control of Yemen. Their rallying cry is "God is great, death to America, death to Israel, a curse upon the Jews, victory to Islam." So just explicit genocidal ideation and antisemitism. (Council for Foreign Relations, MediaBias/FactCheck Rating)
In Yemen, they are committing war crimes and have been for years (Reuters, MediaBias/FactCheck Rating). (The government of Yemen, along with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with military support from the US have been doing the same. But this isn't about the war itself).
They are also aligned with Iran (Council for Foreign Relations) and Russia (Atlantic Council, MediaBias/FactCheck Rating). Both of whom are repressive governments (World Population Review, MediaBias/FactCheck Rating) seeking control in the region (Center for Strategic and International Studies, MediaBias/Fact Check Rating. Note: this is an interview, but given that the interviewee has genuine expertise in the subject and has written for other credible sources about this exact topic, I feel comfortable with it).
Next, I also keep hearing about Hezbollah. I didn't know much about them before doing this, so please be on extra high alert for any mistakes I may make.
Hezbollah is a terror organization that has regularly committed atrocities against civilians, often specifically targeting Jewish groups (Council for Foreign Relations).
In the Israel-Hamas war, Hezbollah has launched rockets at civilian centers (Human Rights Watch, MediaBias/FactCheck. Note: this source is far more biased than I'd like, and it comes off even in that article. However, it is the most detailed explainer of Hezbollah's recent actions that I could find. Proceed with caution when you read it).
They are also backed by Iran (Reuters).
And finally, Hamas.
Hamas has, since it's founding, espoused explicit genocidal and antisemitic intentions (The Atlantic (accessible via 12ft.io), MediaBias/FactCheck Rating).
They have also committed war crimes in the Israel-Hamas war (UN News, this does not have a MediaBias/FactCheck rating, but other branches of the UN do. It's also just a recount of an independent report. Use your best judgement on whether you want to trust this).
They are also aligned with Iran (Reuters).
I'm not say that any of this lessens the atrocities that the government of Israel has committed against Palestinians. It doesn't. This post should not lessen your support for civilians.
But the reality of the situation is that there are no good military groups in this situation. It's complicated and messy. You need to be aware of the full implications of what you share, as it could very easily be misinformation, disinformation, or propaganda.
You can't take any social media posts at face value. Even if they are from a journalist, they don't get fact checked or reviewed by peers normally, allowing opinions and mistakes to slip through.
(Side note: if you want some more information about the Yemen Civil War, let me know. It's really complicated but I have done a lot of research on it)

Palestine X Disability Justice Syllabus
One of my goals an editor, writer, and activist is to speak out about the genocide carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces against the people of Gaza. I remember how scary it was to speak out in the days after the October 7th attack by Hamas. I was heavily criticized by disabled acquaintances accusing me of antisemitism. It is not antisemitic to be against genocide and the dehumanization of an entire people. There are many in the disability community who claim disability justice yet overlook the principle of collective liberation. The silence from major disability-led organizations and disabled leaders in the United States denotes their complicity in a mass disabling event and the deaths of thousands of people. And this is why I use the platform I have to center disabled perspectives. Below is a list of publications from the Disability Visibility Project on Palestinian liberation and disability justice and related topics. Through these essays I hope people can make the connections and be in solidarity with the people of Palestine who are fighting for their homeland and right to exist. Additional readings are listed below as well.

UNRWA’s enablement of terrorism is a feature of the agency, not a bug. Indeed, reports of UNRWA’s complicity in terror activity go back years. Media reports have exposed Hamas terror tunnels next to or under UNRWA facilities, and UNRWA schools have been used as rocket-launching platforms, with rockets even stored inside those schools.
On the problems with UNRWA and why it has to be dismantled.
This was my drafts yesterday and today we found this out

No matter how many times UN officials and world leaders parrot the line “UNRWA's lifesaving work,” the truth remains the opposite.
UNRWA's actual purpose is to perpetuate hatred, war, and terrorism. It must end.
No surprise.
Keep at it, Israel.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict
is actually not as complicated as it seems, the UN made an offer in 1947 to the Arabs and Jews to each have their own country, not only did the Arabs turn it down (which makes that offer null & void), but they stated their intention was to wipe out every Jew there & this was a few years after the holocaust They were told by the Arab leadership to leave the land because they were going to “cleanse it of Jews”, well when Israel won the war, “to the victor hoes the spoils” & the people who left their homes didn’t have where to go back to & the UN has been holding a lot of them in refugee camps instead of settling them down because it’s a pawn for their anti semitism Also after Israel became a state about 650,000 Jews living in Muslim countries were driven out by anti semitism, Israel took in most, America took in & also France took in, that’s why France has such a big Jewish community even tho it was wiped out during the war
ALL the Palestinian leadership wants is war, they were offered land for peace a million times over, before Israel was founded they were offered most of the country by the UN & they refused it because they didn’t want there to be one square inch of a Jewish state
Instead they went to war when the Jews declared a state, by miracles the Israelis won the war, after the 1967 war they captured back all of the territory which you get to keep after you win a war that you didn’t start.
Around year 2000 Ehud Barak offered basically everything on a silver platter to that mass murderer Arafat & at the last moment he walked away and invited the 2nd indifada
In 2004 Ariel Sharon stupidly decided to give back Gaza to the PA, as soon as he did that they took out all the news living there (for some reason in their countries no Jews are allowed to live), and it immediately became a terrorist zone & the quality of life for the Arabs there went down the drain with Hamas using all their resources for rockets, tunnels and other terror tactics.

"Today’s diplomatic complicity in the catastrophic human rights and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is the culmination of years of erosion of the international rule of law and global human rights system. Such disintegration began in earnest after 9/11, when the United States embarked on its “war on terror,” a campaign that normalized the idea that everything is permissible in the pursuit of “terrorists.” To prosecute its war in Gaza, Israel borrows ethos, strategy, and tactics from that framework, doing so with the support of the United States.
It is as if the grave moral lessons of the Holocaust, of World War II, have been all but forgotten, and with them, the very core of the decades-old “Never Again” principle: its absolute universality, the notion that it protects us all or none of us. This disintegration, so apparent in the destruction of Gaza and the West’s response to it, signals the end of the rules-based order and the start of a new era.
...
A critic of this system might argue that states have only ever paid lip service to universality. The twentieth century abounds with examples of failures to uphold the equal dignity of all: the violence used against those advocating for decolonization, the Vietnam War, the genocides in Cambodia and Rwanda, the wars that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia, and many more. These events all testify to an international system rooted more in systemic inequality and discrimination than in universality. With good reason, one could contend that universality was never applied to Palestinians, who, as the Palestinian American scholar Edward Said expressed it, have been, instead, since 1948, “the victims of the victims, the refugees of the refugees.”
...
Within days of the ICJ ruling and its calls for provisional measures to prevent genocide in Gaza, the United States and a number of other Western governments canceled funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency, which provides a lifeline to people in Gaza. That decision does not just ignore the evident risks of genocide; it serves to amplify and accelerate them. The United States’ superpower status and its influence over Israel means Washington is uniquely positioned to change the reality on the ground in Gaza. More than any other country, the United States can prevent its close ally from continuing to commit atrocities. But thus far, it has chosen not to.
This pattern of conduct comes at a huge cost. As one G-7 diplomat has put it, “We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South. All the work we have done with the Global South (over Ukraine) has been lost. ... Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”

During his administration, Donald Trump was passing Israeli intelligence on to Russia. This was known WAY early in the administration – this NYT article is from May of 2017.
Israel is one of the United States’ most important allies and a major intelligence collector in the Middle East. The revelation that Mr. Trump boasted about some of Israel’s most sensitive information to the Russians could damage the relationship between the two countries. It also raises the possibility that the information could be passed to Iran, Russia’s close ally and Israel’s main threat in the Middle East. [ ... ] Mr. Trump said on Tuesday on Twitter that he had an “absolute right” to share information in the interest of fighting terrorism and called it a “very, very successful meeting” in a brief appearance later Tuesday at the White House alongside President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey. Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, Mr. Trump’s national security adviser, told reporters that he was not concerned that information sharing among intelligence partners would stop. “What the president discussed with the foreign minister was wholly appropriate to that conversation and is consistent with the routine sharing of information between the president and any leaders with whom he’s engaged,” General McMaster said at a White House briefing, seeking to play down the sensitivity of the information Mr. Trump disclosed.
Trump is a blabbermouth who has never had a good record on keeping classified intelligence to himself. Anybody using his Mar-a-Lago bathroom could browse nuclear secrets while trying to complete their digestion of well-done Trump steaks with ketchup.
Israel’s concerns about the Trump White House’s handling of classified information were foreshadowed in the Israeli news media this year. Newspapers there reported in January that American officials warned their Israeli counterparts to be careful about what they told the Trump administration because it could be leaked to the Russians, given Mr. Trump’s openness toward President Vladimir V. Putin. “The Russians have the widest intelligence collection mechanism in the world outside of our own. They can put together a good picture with just a few details,” said John Sipher, a 28-year veteran of the C.I.A. who served in Moscow in the 1990s and later ran the C.I.A.’s Russia program for three years. “They can marry President Trump’s comments with their own intelligence, and intelligence from their allies. They can also deploy additional resources to find out details.”
So, did any Israeli intelligence that Trump gave to Putin then go to Iran which passed it on to Hamas?
Mike Pence was Trump's vice president and Nikki Haley was Trump's ambassador to the UN at the time Trump was passing secrets on to Putin's foreign minister. They are both candidates for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. It's particularly hypocritical for Haley to try to somehow blame Biden for the current situation in Israel.
Republicans do have a poor record on dealing with intelligence this century. George W. Bush famously ignored a 06 August 2021 presidential intelligence brief warning of an attack by al Qaeda. We all know what happened five weeks later.
A vote for Republicans, especially Trump, is a vote for passing classified secrets to America's enemies.
The world is becoming more chaotic; no American should add to that chaos by putting Trump back in power.

I am at a loss for words.
A Jewish woman in Paris was kidnapped, held for several days, and raped for being a Jew, and her mother was psychologically taunted and tormented, as "revenge for Palestine."
And while the perpetrator is the main person responsible for this horrific crime, every single person denying or justifying the Oct 7 sexual violence is guilty of contributing to this normalization, making this antisemitic terrorist think his excuse is in any way an acceptable justification for this atrocity. Every single person who didn't believe Jewish victims, every single person who demanded proof, but turned a blind eye to the visual evidence Hamas terrorists themselves provided, every single person who called the films and pictures and testimonies from countless Israelis "propaganda," every single person who justified it and claimed that "rape is resistance." They're all complicit. They all have to know they've helped make Jews everywhere in the world less safe.
Speaking of complicity, even though a UN report found credible evidence for the sexual crimes committed by Hamas on Oct 7 and against Israeli hostages since, the UN secretary general, Antonio Guterres, has personally decided to leave Hamas out of the annual report on sexual violence in conflicts around the world. Israeli commentators expressed their belief that this was done, because had it been included, then the UN would have no choice but to finally recognize that Hamas is a terrorist organization. The UN is complicit. Guterres is complicit. Hold them accountable.
Speaking of the UN's known anti-Israel bias, what a surprise, their report on UNRWA, their own agency, claimed not to support the charges against it, though they did find that UNRWA has "some issues" maintaining its neutrality...
Just to make it clear, "staff publicly taking sides" refers to UNRWA employees being openly anti-Israel, antisemitic and pro anti-Jewish violence, and the "problematic content" in UNRWA textbooks is incitement to terrorism and educating Palestinian kids to be antisemitic. This alone constitutes more than "some issues with neutrality." But there's more. Out of the 12 Gaza UNRWA employees first identified by Israel as having participated in the Hamas massacre, at least three were killed inside Israel on Oct 7 itself, and at least one more was captured on film while helping to kidnap an Israeli young man's body from an Israeli kibbutz into Gaza using a vehicle with UN license plates. I'd say that's a bit more than "difficulties with neutrality". In fact, the UN itself implicitly recognized the evidence was damning, or it would not have fired nine of the twelve right away, and admit a tenth UN worker was dead following the invasion and attack on Israeli communities, while claiming they're still "clarifying" the identities of the other two killed employees who participated in the Hamas massacre. BTW, it's been about 3 months of the UN "clarifying" the identities of those other two dead employees (screenshot below is from the article published 2 days ago, link with same claim on "clarification" is from Jan 27).
UNRWA is complicit. There are other humanitarian aid NGOs, which can do better. Dismantle UNRWA. But we know the UN will not be dismantling the cash cow that this agency is, even though no other refugee group gets an equal treatment to that. At what point do we say out loud, that if more and more UNRWA employees are found to be complicit in a massacre or being embedded with Hamas, if Hamas terrorists have continuously used UNRWA infrastructure to store weapons and shoot at Israelis, if UNRWA was found to be providing a terrorist organization with internet and electricity, and if the UN can't hold its own agency accountable, then the UN is also complicit in UNRWA's collaboration with Hamas?
In Israel itself, as the biggest Jewish community in the world is celebrating Passover, attacks on Israeli Jews continue.
Two days ago, on the Eve of Passover, a combined terrorist attack took place in Jerusalem, in an ultraorthodox neighborhood, with two Palestinian terrorists driving their car into a group of visibly Jewish young people, then the attackers left their car and tried shooting at their victims, but the weapon thankfully malfunctioned. Three people were lightly wounded. (the vid below shows most of the attack, but not the graphic parts of the car hitting the young Jewish men)

Yestrday, the Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah launched three suicide drones at Israel's northern communities, along its Mediterranean shore. This attack comes on the heels of the news that out of 18 Israelis wounded in a previous Hezbollah drone attack on an Israeli Arab Bedouin town, one has died from his injuries, after fighting for his life for 5 days. It's 27 years old Dor Zimel, an officer who was stationed in that town to protect it. Dor was set to get married next month, and he had proposed to his fiancee with a ring donated by a bereaved father (his son, 23 years old Addir Messika, was a jewelry designer, and the ring was one he designed before he was murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Nova music festival on Oct 7). Dor's organs were donated and saved the lives of 7 people, including an injured soldier, who's also the father of a girl. May Dor and Addir's memory be a blessing.
And today, on the second day of Passover, an attempted stabbing attack was stopped before the Palestinian female terrorist managed to harm anyone. She was neutralized at the scene.
I'm sure all those who decried Israel having to continue its war against Hamas during Ramadan are being extra loud about this wave of anti-Jewish violence during Passover, which is actually just a partial list of the on going attacks on Israeli Jews during this holiday.
In other news, the preparations for the IDF's ground operation in Rafah have actually already started. Reports suggest 250,000 Palestinians who have come to the southern city as they left other war zones in Gaza, have already left Rafah, and that Israel has already started building encampments to house those it will evacuate from the city before the ground operation begins.
Trying to remember when have I ever seen an army building an entire camp city for the enemy's civilian population. I'm coming up blank.
This is Miri Gad Mesikka.
She lives in kibbutz Be'eri, together with her husband Eli and their 3 kids. On Oct 7, they locked themselves in the bomb shelter from the invading Hamas terrorists. They were in there for 12 hours, fighting for control of the bomb shelter's door, until the terrorists set their house on fire, and the Gad Messika family had to make an impossible choice: stay and maybe suffocate to death from the smoke (or worse if the fire got in), or jump from their second floor window, probably be injured and maybe be shot to death by the terrorists. Eventually, they chose to jump out. They all got injured, and one of her sons got his leg broken, but the terrorists didn't spot them, and this decision saved their lives. During the time they were locked inside the bomb shelter, Miri recounts how she would see some of her friends and neighbors not responding anymore, and she couldn't know why. She kept hoping it was because their phone batteries ran out. "Today I know some of them were being kidnapped, while others were being murdered. It was a massacre, happening in countless different spots at the same time." One of her friends told Miri, that her daughter, a baby who was less than one years old, was shot in the head right in front of her. Then the friend's husband was murdered as well, and despite being shot with a bullet in her lungs herself, the friend somehow managed to get herself and her two other kids away.
Never forget.
