The great betrayal tearing the Democrats to shreds: ALAN DERSHOWITZ says vile Leftist anti-Israeli hate will turn millions of American Jews from Blue to Red
ALAN DERSHOWITZ FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
The Democratic Party now faces a choice.
The Hamas atrocities of October 7th have forever fractured any political alliance between centrist and liberal Jews and woke, anti-Israel progressives.
It's either them or us.
The coalition is at civil war.
Following the terrorist massacre of Israeli civilians and even before the military response, young woke progressives turned stridently against the Jewish State.
It was a knee-jerk reaction stimulated not by what Israel did – because it had done nothing to justify Hamas' brutality – but what Israel is: the nation state of the Jewish people.
In New York City, speakers at a rally endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America (a group to which several members of Congress belong) celebrated the attacks.
Progressive students at many American universities issued statements, held banners, and participated in marches not in favor of a two-state solution which would establish a Palestinian state alongside Israel, but against the existence of Israel itself.
The dominant slogan at these events was 'Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.'
This wish is not ambiguous. It calls for the ethnic cleansing of all Jewish Israelis from the land, including areas that have been part of the nation state since its founding.
It means a Judenrein (free of Jews) Palestine – not a two-state solution, but a final solution for the Jews of Israel.
'Kill everything that is outside!': Dramatic moment Israeli commander calls for help as IDF armoured vehicle is hit by rockets and machine gun fire in deadly Hamas ambush
This is the dramatic moment an Israeli commander calls for help as his armored vehicle is hit by rockets and machine gun fire in a deadly Hamas ambush.
A squad of Israeli armored personnel carriers were ambushed by Hamas terrorists who emerged from their tunnels and fired rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) at the vehicles and tried to attach explosives.
But the Israelis called in air strikes and artillery, as well as reinforcements against the attackers and although they sustained injuries, survived.
One video from inside one of the 63-tonne APCs shows the sweat glistening on one of the crewmen's face as the gunfire outside can clearly be heard.
Kamala Harris’ Stepdaughter Ella Emhoff Pushes $8 Million Gaza Fund
Fourteen hundred massacred Jews, and our Vice President’s stepdaughter is raising money for Gaza.
I’m not sure which is more unjust… Raising money for Gaza in the immediate aftermath of the worst atrocities committed against Jews since the Holocaust or the fact that leftists are so privileged through meritless affirmative action that this is now a fashion model.
Democrats sure got it good.
Ella Emhoff is the stepdaughter of Kamala Harris through her father, Doug Emhoff, who married Harris in 2014. Doug Emhoff is also Jewish, but here’s his daughter out raising money for Gaza, the very people who allowed Hamas to govern them, the same Hamas that butchered, raped, beheaded, kidnapped, and desecrated 1,400 Jews on October 7.
Imagine the stepdaughter Franklin Roosevelt’s vice president raising money for Germans during WWII. This is no different, and people like Ella Emhoff should be blacklisted forever from polite society. All of these post-October 7 actions might be hidden behind virtue, but this is nothing more than a thinly disguised way of saying The Dirty Jews Had It Coming.
The fundraiser, which has netted more than $7.8 million so far, is being operated by the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund, a nonprofit based in Kent, Ohio, which raked in more than $21 million in 2021, according to ProPublica. It’s unclear how much, if anything, Ella Emhoff has personally donated to the cause.
“It’s of tremendous concern and I find it abhorrent,” said Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ). “To be honest with you, I am kind of stunned by it. It’s disturbing to the maximum degree.”
“Ella Emhoff has pointedly insisted to reporters that she does not consider herself Jewish,” adds the Post.
“Ella is not Jewish,” a spokeswoman for the homely model explained in 2021.“It’s not something she grew up with. Ella truly has no qualms with the faith, but she does not want to speak on behalf of Judaism, as she does not celebrate herself.”
And yet, here she is, more than willing to run to the aid of Gaza.
The worst part of this is that the people of Gaza will never see any of this money, and people like Emhoff must know this. If that $7.8 million ever makes its way to the Middle East, Hamas will almost certainly receive every penny and use every single one of those pennies to kill more Jews.
This is one more example of getting what you vote for. In this case, it’s Jewish Democrats getting what they voted for. Honestly, what do Jewish Democrats feel when they look around at the explosion of hate in all of these Democrat-run cities and Democrat-run universities? The whole thing reeks of nazi Germany circa 1937.
And what do Jewish Democrats think of the tolerance for these displays from supposedly mainstream Democrats like Joe Biden?
How was the Holocaust allowed to happen?
Sadly, we now know.

Hezbollah Chief Nasrallah's Opening Remarks Sounds Just Like Any Typical Satmar Chusid
Gaza infiltrators found hiding out in Jerusalem hospital
Police in Jerusalem arrested 11 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip on suspicion of illegally residing in the Jewish state, the Israel Police said on Thursday.
One of the detained Palestinians is the sister of a Hamas terrorist operative, the statement added.
The arrests were carried out during a raid of the Al-Makassed Hospital on the Mount of Olives, the largest of six Arab hospitals in Israel’s capital.
According to the police, the suspects had been staying in the hospital for weeks without being admitted as patients. The deputy director of the hospital has been summoned for questioning.
Israel Warns Citizens, Jews Worldwide: Hide Jewish Identity, Don’t Travel Unless Essential
The warning was delivered just before the start of the Sabbath late Friday afternoon by Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy.
“Globally I want to address this moment of peril for the Jewish People worldwide as we witness a disturbing spike in antisemitic hate speech and even instances of violence against Jews and Israelis following the October 7 massacre,” Levy said.
“Today, the National Security Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs put out an unusual global travel warning.
“We are calling on all citizens of Israel to exercise heightened caution when traveling ANYWHERE abroad.
“We know that Jewish communities and their institutions, Israel diplomatic missions and airports handling flights to and from Israel are key targets for antisemites and violent antisemites,” Levy said.
“The National Security Council is urging all Israelis to consider whether ANY foreign travel, ANYWHERE in the world, is necessary at this dangerous moment.
“Citizens planning to travel to countries with specific travel warnings are asked to postpone their visits, and we emphasize Arab and Middle Eastern states, the Northern Caucasus, and countries bordering Iran.
“We are also asking citizens — and truly I cannot believe that we are doing this — we are asking all citizens to avoid displaying any outward signs of their Israeli or Jewish identity when traveling anywhere in the world. If you must travel, please make sure that you have the numbers of emergency services and the local Israeli embassies on speed dial.
“Keep away from the anti-Israel pro-jihad protests and remain alert and vigilant about your surroundings at all times.”
Hamas terrorists attack IDF troops who operated to open the Salah Al-Din humanitarian route for the evacuation of residents southwards
The IDF Arabic spokesperson on Saturday announced that between 1:00p.m.-4:00p.m., the Salah Al-Din route in Gaza will be available as a humanitarian route for residents of northern Gaza who had not yet moved southwards to evacuate for their own safety.
The Hamas terrorist organization exploited the humanitarian window that the IDF provided to residents of Gaza to allow them to move southwards: During the humanitarian window, the terrorists fired mortars and anti-tank missiles at IDF troops who arrived and operated to open the route.
No IDF injuries were reported.
"This incident further proves that Hamas exploits the Gazan population and prevents them from acting in the interest of their own safety," the IDF said in a statement.
DF strikes Hamas terrorists who operated from an ambulance
The IDF on Friday neutralized Hamas terrorists who were operating from an ambulance in Gaza.
“A Hamas terrorist cell was identified using an ambulance. In response, an IDF aircraft struck and neutralized the Hamas terrorists, who were operating within the ambulance,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement.
“We emphasize that this area in Gaza is a war zone. Civilians are repeatedly called upon to evacuate southward for their own safety,” it added.
Earlier, the Gaza “health ministry”, which is run by Hamas, claimed that dozens of Palestinian Arabs were killed in what was described as an “Israeli attack” on a convoy of ambulances carrying wounded people in Gaza.
The IDF has provided evidence that Hamas terrorists use hospital as their operational centers.
Last week, the IDF revealed a great deal of information proving that the headquarters of Hamas’ activity in the Gaza Strip is Shifa Hospital, the central and largest hospital in the Gaza Strip, located in the heart of Gaza City.
The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) later released footage from the interrogation of two terrorists who confirmed the hospital is being used for Hamas activity.
IDF Released Remarkable Footage of Unit 669’s Heroic Gaza Strip Rescues Of Injured Soldiers
In a remarkable display of courage and dedication, the IDF have unveiled video footage capturing the heroic efforts of the Air Force’s elite Unit 669. The footage showcases the unit’s valiant rescue operations in the heart of the Gaza Strip during the ongoing ground offensive.
Unit 669, comprised of highly trained rescue specialists, combat medics, and skilled helicopter pilots, has been at the forefront of life-saving missions since the outbreak of the conflict on October 7. Over the course of this intense period, the unit has executed an impressive total of 150 separate rescue operations, many of which were carried out under hostile fire conditions.
These daring missions have yielded tremendous results, as approximately 260 injured individuals have been successfully evacuated to hospitals, thanks to the unwavering commitment and exceptional skills of Unit 669’s members.
The released video footage offers a glimpse into the challenging circumstances faced by Unit 669, highlighting their exceptional bravery and unwavering determination to bring injured soldiers to safety. The IDF’s commitment to protecting its personnel and ensuring their well-being remains resolute as the conflict continues.

Hysterical!!!! Faced with rise in Jewish hate in the USA Biden Appoints Kamala Harris To Tackle ‘Islamphobia’
If you aren’t Jewish then imagine for a moment that you are. And the fact that your people had just suffered the worst mass-murder since the Holocaust.
All committed by people shouting the most Nazi-like slogans.
Imagine all that had only just happened.
And then imagine what it must have been like to have gone through these past few weeks. To have seen crowds in American cities not even draw breath before turning out on the streets to celebrate the killings.
Imagine, what´s more, that instead of a great wave of sympathy and support, in city after city and campus after campus it seemed like the country was turning on the Jews.
Instead of even giving them time to breathe and bury the dead, sick people everywhere suddenly crept out and openly celebrated the killing.
But there is a worse turn.
IDF forces have completely surrounded Gaza City
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated that despite reports that the Biden administration is attempting to push for a short-term ceasefire in Gaza, Israel is not considering such a ceasefire at all.
"The idea of a ceasefire is not on the table at all right now. The IDF is at war and is conducting this war to dismantle Hamas. We will speak through actions and not through words," Hagari said.
He noted that the IDF had completed the encirclement of Gaza City.
"In the past few hours, armored corps and infantry troops, with the assistance of the IAF are striking outposts, command and control centers, rocket launch sites, and other terror infrastructure used by the Hamas leadership and its terrorists. Combat engineering troops are detecting infrastructure, threats, IEDs, and demolishing and neutralizing them to enable the ground forces to maneuver more freely in the area."
“IDF troops completed the encirclement of Gaza City, which is the focal point of the Hamas terror organization.," Hagari said
Iranian Jews forced to cut ties with relatives in Israel
The UK-based Persian language television channel Iran International reported on Wednesday that after the war began between Israel and Hamas, the Iranian regime threatened the Jewish communities in the country.
Jews of Iranian origin in Israel are reporting that their relatives in Iran have left family Whatsapp groups and are even blocking the numbers of all their Israeli contacts.
Since the start of the war, concern in the Jewish community of Iran, which numbers several tens of thousands of members, has spiked.
The report adds that the local Jewish community organized pro-Gaza demonstrations in Teheran, the capital, and in the city of Esfahan. The demonstrations were held under the headline: "Judaism has no connection with Zionism."
During the demonstrations, the demonstrators even waved banners in Hebrew condemning "Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people."
US flying drones over Gaza in search of hostages
The United States has been flying surveillance drones over Gaza in search of hostages taken by Hamas when it attacked Israel on October 7, two US officials said on Thursday, according to the Reuters news agency.
The two US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US was flying intelligence gathering drones over Gaza to assist with hostage location efforts. One of the officials said they had been carrying out the drone flights for over a week.
US officials have said 10 Americans who remain unaccounted for may be among the more than 200 people taken as hostages into Gaza.
Two hostages with US citizenship, Judith and Natalie Raanan, were freed by Hamas two weeks ago.
US President Joe Biden on Wednesday called for a “pause” in the fighting in the Gaza Strip in order to allow time to free hostages being held by Hamas, though he stopped short of calling for a full ceasefire.
IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari said on Thursday that Israeli troops had encircled Gaza City, which has become the focus of attack for Israel.
Names of four IDF soldiers who were killed northern Gaza cleared for publication
The names of four IDF soldiers who were killed in battle in northern Gaza were cleared for publication on Friday morning, after their families were notified:
Captain Beni Wais, 22, from Haifa, platoon commander in the 195th Battalion, 460th Brigade.
Master Sgt. (res.) Uriah Mash, 41, from Talmon, who fought in the 52nd Battalion, 401st Brigade.
Master Sgt. (res.) Yehonatan Yosef Brand, 28, from Jerusalem, who fought in the 52nd Battalion, 401st Brigade.
Sgt. Major (res.) Gil Pishitz, 39, from Harish, a tank driver in the 9th Battalion, 401st Brigade.
On Thursday evening, it was cleared for publication that IDF paratrooper Yair Nifousy was killed in battle against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
Staff Sgt. Nifousy, a 20-year-old resident of Adi, served in the Paratrooper’s 101st Battalion. He was seriously wounded in battle in northern Gaza Wednesday night and succumbed to his injuries on Thursday.
Another soldier from the 101st Battalion was also wounded in the same battle.
Another soldier who fell in battle in the northern Gaza Strip was Lt. Col. Salman Habaka, 33, from Yanuh-Jat.
Wall Street Journal: Hamas “Ceasefire” Means Murdering More Israeli Civlians
An article published on Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board states that at the same time that Hamas pleads for a ceasefire on humanitarian grounds to the English-speaking world, it vows in Arabic to repeat the October 7 attacks.
The report quotes an interview on Lebanese television with Ghazi Hamad, a member of the Hamas Politburo, who vowed that Hamas’s depraved assault on October 7 on women, children, and babies “is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth.”
The article continues: That’s what a cease-fire means to Hamas: a chance to repeat Oct. 7 another day. The similar idea of a “humanitarian pause,” gaining steam on the Western left, is to Hamas merely an opportunity to reload. There is nothing humane about pressuring Israel to leave a genocidal enemy in power on its border.
Hamas isn’t ashamed to announce its intent to sacrifice Gazans to kill Jews—at least to receptive audiences. A poll published Monday in Beirut’s Al Akhbar newspaper reported that 80% of Lebanese respondents supported Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack. In another Arabic-language interview, on Oct. 19, Hamas leader Khaled Mashal argued that “nations are not easily liberated,” noting that it sometimes has required the deaths of millions of people. He figures he’s the man for the job.
Given how cheap Hamas holds Palestinian lives, it is no surprise that the terrorist group is shameless about murdering Israelis. Mr. Hamad, on Lebanese TV, says, “We are the victims of the occupation, period. Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do. On Oct. 7, on Oct. 10, on October one-millionth, everything we do is justified.”
That’s also the radical-chic view on U.S. campuses: “Resistance by any means necessary”—don’t think, parrot Hamas propaganda.
Hamas promises more massacres in Arabic while asking for a humanitarian reprieve in English. It knows from experience that some Westerners are gullible enough to fall for it.
The hundreds of comments on the article, which from a quick perusal seem to all agree with the author’s conclusions, show that many Americans aren’t fooled by the media’s obsession with the “suffering of the innocent civilians in Gaza caused by the illegal Israeli occupier.”
IDF Spokesman Slams CNN for Refusing to Say Jerusalem is Located in Israel
IDF Spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus, who has appeared on CNN frequently since the Hamas terror attack, mocked the leftist cable network on Twitter Thursday, over its fake news reporting.
Conricus astutely observed that CNN refuses to acknowledge that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, or that it’s even LOCATED in Israel. He sarcastically called it a ‘technical oversight’ by the notoriously anti-Israel outlet.
He tweeted: “Jerusalem is the capital of the State of Israel. I wonder why it says “Tel Aviv, Israel” above me, but only “Jerusalem”, without “Israel” over the @cnni reporter . Must be a technical oversight, right?”
In 2017 when President Trump moved the embassy, CNN wrote: US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on Wednesday and announced plans to relocate the US embassy there, upending seven decades of US foreign policy in a move expected to inflame tensions in the region and unsettle the prospects for peace.
Israel Says It Will Bar Palestinians in Gaza From Working in Israel
DIN: it was the Gazan who worked at those kibbutzim that provided detailed info and gave it to Hamas!
Israel will stop providing funding to the Palestinian Authority earmarked for the Gaza Strip and will bar Palestinians in Gaza from working in Israel, the country said in a statement.
Though Hamas seized control of Gaza from the Palestinian Authority in 2007, the PA has continued to pay tens of thousands of civil servants in the strip. The decision by Israel’s Security Cabinet on Thursday would punish the cash-strapped PA for continuing those salaries.
“Israel is severing off all contact with Gaza,” the government statement read.
Under interim peace accords from the 1990s, Israel collects tax funds on behalf of Palestinians and transfers the money to the PA each month.
The statement also said Israel was revoking permits for the roughly 18,000 Palestinians from Gaza who were allowed to work inside Israel. The jobs were highly coveted in Gaza, an impoverished territory with an unemployment rate of roughly 50%.
