For AlJazeera, this was indeed a bomb.

For the islamic world, it was a well deserved shaming.
For the jewish people…, well, it was like that little moment of selfish joy, when we say…”I told you so”.
Wafa Sultan, you did it again. Majestically. ππ»

Since the mainstream media falsely claims that Donald Trump warned of a "bloodbath" if he loses the 2024 election, I encourage you to listen to what he actually said and what he was referring to and draw your own conclusion: the automobile industry and the loss of jobs.

Palestinians celebrated on their streets as 1,200 Israelis were murdered, and hundreds kidnapped. Now their cities are reduced to rubble. They brought it on themselves.

And still the best explanation of what is actually happening in Gaza.
A must watch! https://t.co/cVai3krAmH
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv on Sunday that his country cannot sit by and watch Palestinian men and women starve amid the war in Gaza.
Boo-Hoo!!!
"We cannot stand by and risk Palestinian women and men starving. Much more humanitarian aid must reach Gaza, a way must be found to improve the means of distribution," Scholz said, as Western nations increase their criticism of ally Israel
There have been plenty of hypocritical statements by foreign ministry spokesmen over the years. Russia’s protestations that it wants peace in Ukraine ring hollow, and Iran’s claims that it has nothing to do with unrest in the Middle East don’t sound convincing.
And yet, even by the low standards of the genre, China’s official mouthpiece hit a fresh low last week with its complaints that the forced sale of the social media app Tik Tok violated free and fair competition between open markets. From the country that has banned Facebook, X, YouTube and many others, the hypocrisy was stunning.
The US would be quite right to demand it be sold. If the bill passes the Senate, China will be forced to either open up its own markets, or else accept that its multinationals won’t be able to expand globally – and either would be an improvement on the blatantly rigged market we have right now.
If it happens, it is going to be a huge sale, and one that will reshape the social media industry. With 1.7 billion users globally, Byte Dance’s TikTok is by far the most successful new internet product of the last decade. Last week, the US House of Representatives decided on national security grounds that the company could no longer be allowed to operate in the country while it was controlled from China.
Former Sen. Joe Lieberman on Sunday blasted Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for calling for an election to replace Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, denouncing the New York Democrat’s remarks as “outrageous.”
“I thought the statement he made this week … was a mistake. I can’t ever remember anything like it,” Lieberman told host John Catsimatidis on the “Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM.
Lieberman, 82, a former Democratic senator from Connecticut who later became an Independent before his 2013 retirement, was the first Jewish-American to appear on a presidential ticket when then-Vice President Al Gore tapped him as his running mate in 2000.
“For a US senator — let alone the majority leader; let alone the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in Washington — to tell Israel that it’s time to get rid of Netanyahu, that’s outrageous,” Lieberman said of Schumer.
Schumer's words drew swift and strong rebukes from Republicans and Israeli leaders alike, including Netanyahu himself, who on Sunday fired back at Schumer for his “totally inappropriate” speech.
“I think what he said is totally inappropriate. It’s inappropriate for him to go to a sister democracy and try to replace the elected leadership there,” Netanyahu said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“That’s something that [the] Israeli public does on its own. We’re not a banana republic.”
Lieberman added, “Can you imagine Sen. Schumer or anybody else in the US government saying to the Brits, ‘We don’t like your prime minister. It’s really time for you to dump him.’ Oh my god, there’d be outrage all around.
“It’s a bad precedent for us to tell a friend and ally, a democratic ally, ‘Get rid of this government. we don’t like him,’ ” the former senator said.
President Biden on Friday praised Schumer, telling reporters he thought the Democrat made a “good speech” during an Oval Office meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.
Biden is facing increased pressure at home over his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict as presidential election season gets into full swing.
A poll published by the Wall Street Journal last week found that 60% of voters disapprove of how Biden has dealt with the war.
Donald Trump, asked about Schumer’s speech by Fox News “MediaBuzz” host Howard Kurtz on Sunday, blasted the Democratic Party’s record on Israel.
“The Democrats are very bad for Israel,” said the former president, now the presumptive GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential contest. “Israel sticks with them. I guess Israel is loyal, maybe to a fault, because they stick with these guys. Biden is so bad for Israel.”
A shocking revelation has emerged from the US-Mexico border, as a Lebanese migrant caught sneaking into the country admitted to being a member of the terrorist organization Hezbollah and planning to make a bomb in New York. Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was apprehended by border patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas.
According to a Border Patrol document obtained by The New York Post, Ebbadi confessed to his intentions, stating, “I’m going to try to make a bomb.” In a subsequent sworn interview, he revealed that he had trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served as an active member guarding weapons locations for another four years. Ebbadi’s training focused on “jihad” and killing non-Muslims.
This alarming incident comes amid a surge in migrants on the terror watchlist entering the US illegally, with 59 apprehensions in the first four months of 2024 alone. The total number of terror watchlisted encounters has risen significantly since 2022, with 172 recorded in fiscal year 2023 and 98 in fiscal year 2022.
Ebbadi’s admission raises serious concerns about the vetting process for migrants entering the country. He claimed to be fleeing Lebanon to avoid killing people, yet his intentions were far from peaceful.
Border agents have recorded numerous encounters with terror watchlisted individuals, including a recent incident just days before former President Donald Trump’s visit to Eagle Pass, Texas.
The first part of that is probably true.
Rachel Timoner is an activist with such anti-Israel groups as J Street and T’ruah and co-founded the New York Jewish Agenda leftist organization alongside Sharon Kleinbaum, who faced an exodus from her “temple” after saying Kaddish for Hamas terrorists, with a mission of fighting the city’s Orthodox Jews.
The latter isn’t because these anti-Israel extremists don’t represent Jews. They represent only the Jew-hating far left.
Bringing out Timoner, the clergywoman of the leftist congregation Schumer attends, doesn’t help him. It reveals how bad he really is.
Let’s take a look at what Rachel Timoner has been up to.
Timoner took part in a recent anti-Israel “ceasefire” rally while whining that “continued war and Israeli occupation of Gaza will be an unmitigated disaster.”
She signed on to a letter by the T’ruah anti-Israel hate group which claimed that “there is no military solution” and demanded that Biden “ensure that Israel does not invade Rafah” and finish off Hamas.
In the past, Timoner had signed on to a T’ruah/J Street letter defending BDS.
Timoner, the author of op-eds such as “Fellow Dykes: We Must Be Both Pro-Israel And Pro-Palestine,” tries to have it both ways, but she picked her side.
The side of those who murder Jews.
We know what Timoner is. Now what does tell us about what Schumer is?
“Schumer has attended Timoner’s synagogue near his home in Park Slope, Brooklyn for at least a decade. Timoner officiated his daughter’s wedding, blessed his three grandchildren and buried his father.”
This is what Schumer embraced as his guiding spiritual light.
A mere few weeks after the Hamas atrocities, Timoner was already scolding Israel in a sermon, warning that “killing thousands of Palestinian civilians will not bring back the Israeli civilians.”
She repeated the same message in a New York Times op-ed.
T’ruah summed up Timoner’s remarks at one anti-Israel rally as, “American Jews must tell our govt. we oppose this war and want an end to the occupation and a real political solution for Palestinians and Israelis.”
That’s the message Sen. Schumer took to the Senate. It’s not the message of American Jews, but of their leftist and Islamist enemies.
As Salvatore LoGrande fought cancer and all the pain that came with it, his daughters promised to keep him in the white, pitched roof house he worked so hard to buy all those decades ago.
So, Sandy LoGrande thought it was a mistake when, a year after her father’s death, Massachusetts billed her $177,000 for her father’s Medicaid expenses and threatened to sue for his home if she didn’t pay up quickly.
“The home was everything,” to her father said LoGrande, 57.
But the bill and accompanying threat weren’t a mistake.
South Africa is under fire for spending millions of dollars talking to terror group Hamas and sending delegations for cozy negotiations with U.S. adversaries Russia and Iran. Some critics say the money would be better spent tackling the "chaos" back home.
South Africa has the highest unemployment rate in the world, rampant crime and widespread corruption, which has led to large parts of Johannesburg having no water for 10 out of the past 11 days, and, nationally, power blackouts between four and 11 hours a day.
The U.S. helps South Africa gain billions of dollars a year in trade benefits through the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or AGOA. Orde Kittrie, law professor at Arizona State University and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital it’s time for South Africa to be thrown out of the program.
In a recent address on the Senate floor, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer delivered an address replete with complete betrayal of Israel and as such has stirred controversy and raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. Schumer’s remarks, while cloaked in diplomatic language, essentially amounted to a call for a change in leadership in Israel, urging its citizens to elect a new prime minister.
At the heart of Schumer’s message that dominated the global stage was the sheer rancor and frustration that is reverberating in the White House and the State Department concerning their inability to stop Israel from succeeding in its battle for its existential survival against the Hamas terrorists that brutally massacred 1200 Israelis and others on October 7th while taking 250 hostages. He pointedly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of prioritizing his own political survival over the best interests of the nation. Schumer’s assertion that Netanyahu’s tolerance of civilian casualties in Gaza is eroding support for Israel worldwide is echoing what Biden has been saying in recent interviews.
However, while Israel stands united in the face of adversity, challenges emerge from within the United States, particularly within the Democratic Party. Despite overwhelming support for Israel among Americans as a whole, a concerning trend is evident within certain segments of the Democratic Party.

Several medical professionals hoping to immigrate to Israel spoke with Arutz Sheva - Israel National News from the MedEx event in New Jersey, where Nefesh B’Nefesh works to help medical professionals move to Israel.
“There is every possible thing that could be done in order to be able to go to Israel,” says physical therapist Dr. Steven Marrowitz. “We're going hopefully in the next year. After everything that took place on October 7th, my wife and I decided right away that this is what we wanted to do and this is where we needed to be. We need to be in Israel. Everyone else should be joining us.”
He thanked Nefesh B’Nefesh for their help: “This process has been made so much easier. I couldn't imagine years ago how difficult it might have been to immigrate, but everyone's been very helpful and supportive.”
His wife added: “There's no comfort in New York, in America. The comfort is in Israel, even with a war, even with everything going on. We want to be there, with our Jewish brothers and sisters. It's not easy being Jewish here. The only comfort is to be with our Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel, supporting them, supporting IDF soldiers, supporting everybody in Israel. There's no comfort here anymore.”
Dr. Marrowitz said that the war has pushed them to move: “What happened on October 7th opened our eyes that the world is anti-Semitic, and we need to be in Israel, together, where we're supposed to be. That is our land and that's where we're going to be.”
Dr. Adam Bonder said that he too was inspired to move by the war. “After October 7th, I was inspired to move to Israel in order to help the people of Israel. I'm a trained emergency medicine physician and psychedelic physician, with the goal of helping cure the resultant PTSD that the Israeli people have experienced. I also want to bring my emergency medical expertise to the people of Israel to help improve their healthcare.”
Medical care is a family business for Dr. Bonder: “My wife is also a chief nursing officer, who also wants to bring her expertise to Israel to help improve their healthcare for all of Israel as well. She's also looking to hopefully help out with the Ministry of Defense.”
Dr. Bonder detailed why they were moving: “We were in Israel on Yom Ha’atzmaut last year and fell in love with Israel again. I think the opportunity to help our people is the reason why we're here, and the reason why we have the skill set that we do. It's our purpose in life. The opportunity to help the people of Israel is why we're here today.”
Dr. Marina Rubin, a pediatric emergency physician, had a similar revelation: “I came to the realization that I need to move now when I volunteered at Barzilai Hospital. I left my seven kids and my husband at home to be able to give to our people and our land as much as I could in my area of expertise, which is pediatric emergencies and ultrasound emergencies. That was an incredible experience that moved me to come and give everything now, as well as get my kids and my husband on board.”
