Graham says ‘no amount ’ of Palestinian deaths would make him question Israel

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Tuesday that no number of civilian deaths in Gaza would cause him to question Israel’s goal of eradicating Hamas.

In an interview on CNN’s “NewsNight,” Graham made clear his support for Israel would not waver under any circumstance. Still, he said they should “be smart” and try to limit civilian casualties, which he said Israel is trying to do.

Asked whether there should be a threshold where he starts questioning Israel’s tactics in its war against Hamas, the senator said “no.”

“If somebody asked us after World War II, is there a limit to what you would do to make sure that Japan and Germany don’t conquer the world? Is there any limit to what Israel should do to the people who are trying to slaughter the Jews? The answer is no,” Graham said.

“There is no limit, but here’s what you need to do: Be smart. Let’s try to limit civilian casualties the best we can. Let’s put humanitarian aid in areas that protect the innocent. I’m all for that,” the South Carolina Republican continued. “But this idea that Israel has to apologize for attacking Hamas, who’s embedded with their own population, needs to stop.”

Israel confirmed Tuesday that its strikes hit a densely populated refugee camp, where a high-ranking Hamas official was strategically located. Pressed about the news, Graham underscored the gruesome tactics Hamas took Oct. 7.

After the murderous attack by Hamas, TV personality Tzufit Grant said that she is now ready to acknowledge that the Leftists Are Dead Wrong

 

Tzufit Grant, a well known left-wing Israeli television personality, met with hareidi women who volunteered to help the IDF, and spoke about the moment she agreed with Daniella Weiss, head of the right-wing Nachala movement, longstanding activist for communities in Judea and Samaria, and former mayor of Kedumim.

"I had an argument with right-wing supporter Danielle Weiss. I remember saying to her, 'How can you be so harsh towards Arabs? What, a Muslim woman has no mercy? A Muslim woman is not a mother?'" said Grant.

Weiss answered her, "A Muslim woman is a mother who prefers for her son to be a martyr than anything else."

Grant shared: "I told her, 'Enough, enough, I can't listen to this anymore.' Today, I'm suddenly willing to recognize this."

Grant also spoke about a conversation she had with her nephew a week ago, when he told her, "Everything that is happening here is not new, you just refused to believe it."

When Grant asked when this happened, her nephew replied: "The Fogel family was murdered and slaughtered. They were massacred. It just seemed like you didn't want to hear it. You weren't ready to listen to it."

She spoke during a journey to meet with hareidi women who helped pack supplies for IDF soldiers. "I think the hareidi world, today more than ever, feels a real existential need to be a part of what is happening here now, of this unity," she said.

Son of terror victim Rabbi Michael Mark fell in battle against Hamas terrorists

 Second Lieutenant Pdaya Mark, son of terror victim Rabbi Michael Mark, who was murdered near Hebron in 2016, fell in battle with Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

Pdaya's cousin, Elchanan Kalmanson, fell in battle on October 7, as Jews throughout the country celebrated the Simchat Torah holiday. Kalmanson was battling Hamas terrorists who had overtaken communities in southern Israel, when he fell.

When he was 15, Pdaya and his family were driving to Jerusalem when a terrorist opened fire at them, shooting 29 bullets at the family's vehicle, which then overturned. The bullets hit the entire family, but Pdaya himself was hit only by shrapnel.

Three years after the terror attack, Pdaya's brother Shlomi was killed in a traffic accident while on his way to his job in the Defense Ministry. Pdaya's sister Orit Mark Ettinger is an Israeli media personality.

Rabbi Michael Mark, a cousin of former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, was the dean of the hesder yeshiva in Otniel, and brother to Yochi Kalmanson, whose husband Rabbi Benny Kalmanson heads the yeshiva together with Rabbi Re'em Hacohen.

A notice published by the town of Otniel on Wednesday morning reads, "Blessed is the true Judge. With indescribable pain, the Otniel family announces the fall of Pdaya Mark in a heroic battle against Hamas terrorists. Details regarding the funeral and the week of mourning will be sent later. The Otniel family embraces the Mark and Kalmanson families. May we be comforted with the rebuilding of Jerusalem."

Following threats from Yemenite Houthis, Israeli Navy sends missile boats towards Red Sea.

 

DIN: Its important for Israel to hit Yemen even though it is 2,000 miles away, this will signal Iran that it can be also be hit, since Iran is also 2,000 miles from Israel 

In accordance with the situational assessment and as part of defensive efforts in the area, on Tuesday Israeli Navy missile boats arrived in the area of the Red Sea, the IDF confirmed.

On Tuesday night, the IDF Aerial Defense Array intercepted an aerial threat that was identified in the area of the Red Sea, south of the city of Eilat. According to the IDF, no threat was posed to civilians and no infiltration into Israeli territory was identified.

Earlier, residents of Eilat had reported hearing explosions in the city and seeing the trail of a missile interception in the sky. No siren was sounded.

On Tuesday morning, sirens sounded in Eilat and the area, warning of a hostile aircraft infiltration. Shortly afterwards, Israel's defense echelon said that the air defense system intercepted a UAV that was headed towards Eilat while it was still over the Red Sea. The interception, which was successful, took place outside Israel's borders.

The IAF later said it thwarted an aerial threat in the area of the Red Sea - its first operational interception by the “Arrow” Aerial Defense System since the beginning of the war.

On Tuesday afternoon, a spokesman for the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for recent attacks against Israel. "We launched missiles and drones and pledge to continue the attacks on Israel until the end of Israeli aggression in Gaza."

Sergeant Roei Wolf, a 20-year-old resident of Ramat Gan, and Sergeant Lavi Lipshitz, a 20-year-old resident of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut, were killed during battles on the ground against Hamas in northern Gaza.

Both soldiers served in the Givati Brigade Commando Unit. They were killed by an RPG that was fired at the building in which the Givati soldiers were stationed at the time.

Patrick Dai in Custody for Posting Online Threats About Jewish Students at Cornell University

 

 A Cornell University student was arrested Tuesday and accused of posting threatening statements online about Jewish students at the school, law enforcement officials said.

Patrick Dai, 21, a junior from Pittsford, New York, is charged in a federal criminal complaint with posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications, according to a joint announcement from the U.S. Attorney’s office, FBI, New York State police and Cornell University Police.

It was not immediately clear if Dai had hired an attorney. The federal courts website had not yet been updated with the case. Dai did not respond to a Facebook message and his Cornell email address could not be immediately accessed.

The charge carries a possible five-year prison sentence, officials said.

The menacing messages, posted over the weekend on a forum about fraternities and sororities, alarmed students at the Ivy League school in upstate New York. The anonymous threats came amid a spike of antisemitic and anti-Muslim rhetoric appearing on social media during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Dai is scheduled to appear Wednesday in federal court in Syracuse, New York, before a United States Magistrate Judge.

Joel M. Malina, vice president for university relations at Cornell University, said the school was grateful for the quick work of the FBI.

“We remain shocked by and condemn these horrific, antisemitic threats and believe they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” Malina said in a statement. “We know that our campus community will continue to support one another in the days ahead.”

The comments this weekend were left on a Greek life website that is not affiliated with the school in Ithaca, New York, about 227 miles (365 kilometers) northwest of New York City.

Dai’s threatening messages included posts calling for the deaths of Jewish people and a post that threatened to “shoot up 104 west,” a Cornell University dining hall that caters predominantly to kosher diets and is located next to the Cornell Jewish Center, according to the complaint.

The messages threatened to “stab” and “slit the throat” of any Jewish males he sees on campus, to rape and throw off a cliff any Jewish females, and to behead any Jewish babies, according to the complaint. In that same post, Dai threatened to “bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig jews,” authorities said.

The Cornell University Police Department reacted by increasing patrols and arranging additional security for Jewish students and organizations. A state police cruiser was parked in the street in front of the Center for Jewish Living on Monday.

The threats also prompted a campus visit by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.

“Public safety is my top priority and I’m committed to combatting hate and bias wherever it rears its ugly head.” Hochul said in a statement before the arrests Tuesday.

TUNNELS INFESTED WITH MURDERERS: Hamas Gives Russian Journalists Tour Of Their Gaza Strip Tunnels

 

Hamas terrorists recently provided a tour of their underground tunnel labyrinth in the Gaza Strip, showcasing the difficult obstacle Israeli troops must overcome to root the terrorist group from the coastal enclave.

In the video below, the terrorists can be seen showing Russia Today journalists around their tunnels. Note that the video has an almost propaganda news release aspect to it.

Bobover Rebbe of 48th Street States: "We don't Pray for a Victory For the IDF"

 I know Ben-Zion when he was a little svantz running after girls in his yard on Brooklyn Ave and Park Place. Nothing has changed. Even those close to him know him as a "upgerissinar naar" a bloody fool.

They made him Rebbe because he has the Halberstam name and is a great actor. He is a huge Am-Haaretz and probably cannot decipher a simple rashi on chumash!

Having said that, I'm in shock that he has a sinah for other Jews in uniform giving up their lives on a daily basis while he goes every morning to his closet to choose which color bekeshe he will wear that day.

Which Jew never mind a leader would utter those hateful words. How sick and how perverted can a Jew be? and then mocks the IDF saying "look what they look like" Sick Sick ..
