Dutch Freedom Party Leader Says ‘Jordan Is Palestine’ Period!

 

Dutch leader Geert Wilders elicited sharp reactions after he made a radical proposal on Saturday, suggesting that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be resolved by relocating Palestinians to Jordan, denying their right to an independent sovereign state.

Wilders, who is trying to form a government after his party won the election last week,  tweeted that “Jordan is Palestine”, causing a firestorm of criticism and condemnation from Arab states and the international community. Wilders, a staunch Israel supporter who once spent time on a kibbutz, is known as the “Dutch Trump” both for his extravagant dyed hair and firebrand right-wing rhetoric, including a suggestion to prohibit Muslim citizens in Holland unless they reject Sharia law.

Wilders suggestion is in stark contrast to longstanding international consensus and United Nations resolutions that advocate for a two-state solution with east Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state, although former US government of Donald Trump had rejected the possibility of a Palestinian presence in Jerusalem.

Finally an "askan" Pushing Back Against Mayor Adams, Demands Arrests in School Riot

 

As reported on DIN News, a terrifying riot took place at a Queens public school, during which hundreds of crazed students “rampaged through the halls” for nearly two hours after they discovered that a teacher had participated in a pro-Israel event.

The teacher managed to barricade herself in a locked office, yet a mob of violent students stood outside, trying to break down the door.

Mayor Eric Adams shared the story on X, commenting: “The vile show of antisemitism at Hillcrest High School was motivated by ignorance-fueled hatred, plain and simple, and it will not be tolerated in any of our schools, let alone anywhere in our city,” adding, “We are better than this.” Adams said the city was conducting a full investigation, and that “teams will begin outreach with students at Hillcrest to ensure they understand why this behavior was unacceptable.”

However it is very unclear what consequences, if any, will be faced by the violent mob.

Chassidic commentator Yossi Gestetner pushed back on Adams, pointing out that when Jews commit acts that are far less dangerous against Muslims, they are arrested, and the punishment for antisemites should be comparable.

Gestetner tweeted “Last week, NYC charged someone with multiple counts after harassing a street vendor. There is video of this mass harassment and intimidation at the workplace. How many people will @NYPDnews arrest? Equal Justice Under the Law, sir.”

Brooklyn councilwoman InnaVernikov tweeted: “@NYCMayor we want to see CONSEQUENCES. Without that, this behavior will continue and will only get worse.”

Hillcrest High School in Jamaica is several blocks from a thriving Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. Antisemitic students created a group chat, according to a senior at the school. “Hundreds of kids” then “flooded into hallways,…chanting, jumping, shouting, and waving Palestinian flags or banners.”

The rioting was partially caught on video, as the students themselves filmed these events, and posted them on TikTok.

The NYPD sent about 25 officers to the scene, who rushed the teacher into an office and locked the door, at which point students tried to break their way in. The “riot,” as students called it, lasted about two hours.

“They found where [the teacher] lives,” one student told the NY Post. “Her address, her phone number, her family and everything.”



How a Female IDF tank crew ran down dozens of Hamas terrorists on October 7

 





When a group of young Israeli women were woken up at 6:30 a.m. on October 7, they had no idea they would be making history as the first female armored crews in Israel, and perhaps the world, to participate in active battle.

In an interview with Channel 12 this week, the combat soldiers spoke of thundering along main roads to get to some of the 20 southern Israeli communities that came under massive assault that morning, running down terrorists, and securing breaches on the border with the Gaza Strip.

One of the officers in the unit, identified as Hagar, told Channel 12: “[My commander] comes into our room at 6:30 a.m., wakes me up and tells us that there’s a terrorist infiltration. We didn’t really understand the enormity of the event.”

13 Israeli hostages have returned to Israel

 

The release of the third group of Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity is underway.

The Prime Minister's office has confirmed that 13 Israeli citizens who were taken hostage by Hamas on October 7th have returned to Israel.

According to the IDF, Red Cross representatives transferred 12 hostages over to IDF special forces and ISA forces adjacent to the border fence in the central Gaza Strip. From there, they made their way to the Hatzerim Base.

An additional released hostage who returned to Israel, 84-year-old Elma Avraham, is in serious condition and was evacuated via a helicopter directly to a hospital.

In parallel, four released hostages were transferred over to Egypt through the Rafah Crossing, from which they will make their way to the meeting point with IDF soldiers in Israeli territory.

The families of the hostages are being updated by IDF representatives with the latest available information.

The hostages are:

"Wake Up.. the West is Next" From a Muslim

 

Good Morning London!

 


DF Intelligence Director Aharon Haliva was warned of attack

Aharon Haliva

New details have emerged about the failures of the security forces to prevent the Oct. 7th massacre.

Channel 12 News reports that the attack was originally planned for last Passover Eve, but the IDF detected signs of the attack and raised its alert level to the point that Hamas cancelled the attack.

Hamas was concerned that the IDF had succeeded in infiltrating the command structure and ranks of their organization and worried about the plan leaking out.

Two days ago, it was reported that a senior officer of the IDF's SIGINT unit 8200 had warned that Hamas was planning a large-scale invasion of Israel. The officer discovered Hamas's operational plan, which was eventually the one used, and shared the information with senior officials in 8200 and the Southern Command.

The officer warned her direct superior, who cancelled her vacation to warn the head of the Intelligence Directorate, Aharon Haliva, when he visited the unit's base. Haliva disregarded the report and did not pass the information to the head of the ISA or the Chief of Staff.

According to journalist Nir Dvori, an additional junior officer in Unit 8200 also strongly cautioned that Hamas was training for an attack, and that the attack was indeed planned and not simply a training exercise. The two specified planned points of entry through Israel's border wall, the different communications being sent, and the conclusion that a massive attack was planned. They presented the findings to a senior officer from outside their unit, who dismissed it as "fantasy."

Hate Crimes Target THREE Frum Jews in Flatbush on Shabbos Afternoon [VIDEOS]

 

Three Orthodox Jews were the victims of hate crimes in separate incidents that occurred in the Flatbush neighborhood on Shabbos afternoon. The incidents took place at around 4:00PM on East 17th Street between Avenues J and Ave K, on East 18th Street between Avenues K and L, and a third incident on Avenue L and East 17th (near Edward R Murrow High School).

In the first incident, captured on an attached video, three suspects yelled “free Palestine” before physically assaulting the Jewish victim, marking it as a hate-driven attack.

The second incident occurred just minutes later, where another victim was assaulted without any verbal exchange.

The third incident occurred near Edward R Murrow High School on Avenue L and East 17 Street. This victim was punched and kicked and verbally abused by “Free Palestine” terrorists.

Local authorities have taken these incidents seriously, with Flatbush Shomrim actively assisting the NYPD in collecting evidence. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force has also launched an investigation into these troubling incidents, aiming to identify and apprehend the suspects responsible.






Palestinian Terrorists Kill two of their own while thousands of "innocent" Palestinians Drag Bodies Through Camp Alleys

 


Palestinian militants in a West Bank refugee camp shot and killed two alleged collaborators with Israel early Saturday, Palestinian officials said. Mobs then kicked the bloodied corpses and dragged them through alleys before trying to tie them to an electrical tower.

The scenes, widely shared on social media, were reminiscent of the chaos in the occupied West Bank during two Palestinian uprisings against Israeli rule that erupted in 1987 and in 2000, respectively, each lasting several years. During these periods of heightened conflict, there were frequent killings of alleged informers, at times with bodies displayed in public.

Hostages Describe Ordeal: ‘We Subsisted On Rice For 2 Weeks, Nearly Lynched In Rafah’

 

The hostages released Friday evening have started speaking to members of their communities, recounting their experiences while in Hamas captivity in Gaza.

Contrary to reports, not all of the hostages released on Friday were held captive together, so each of them has a different story.

Channel 12 News reported that the hostages stated that during the trip to Rafah Crossing, rocks and other objects were thrown at them. They feared they would be subjected to a lynching, and feared for their lives as they were taken to freedom, and this explains their frightened expressions as they were released from captivity.

The Monder family related that they had not been tortured but on many occasions had to wait up to two hours to use the bathroom facilities.

The hostages also said that in the past two weeks in captivity, all of the food was used up, other than the rice, and so they lost weight. Chana Katzir, who Islamic Jihad claimed had died in captivity, was released Friday, and discovered only upon her return to Israel that her husband, Rami, had been killed and her son kidnapped.

Ruth Monder, 78, who was released Friday night, said that when she returned to Israel she was informed that her husband Avraham was kidnapped and held by Hamas, and that her son, Ro’ee, had been murdered. “I don’t know how they murdered him, what they did to him,” she said.
