Chilling moment Hamas leader brushes off news his 3 sons, 4 grandkids were killed in IDF airstrike

 

The "Family that traveled Together and Died Together" 

A shocking video captured Hamas’ top political leader Ismail Haniyeh barely reacting to the news that his three sons and four grandchildren have been killed in an Israeli airstrike — and insisting that he continue with the tour he was on of a hospital.

Haniyeh, 61, was visiting injured Palestinians at the hospital in Qatar, where he lives in exile, on Wednesday when he got a call from someone saying through sobs in Arabic: “Hazem, Mohammed and Amir have been killed, along with their children.”

Hamas’ tough-talking chief diplomat barely reacts and remains unnervingly calm, only uttering the words: “God rest their souls.”

When an aide asks Haniyeh if they should cut the hospital visit short in light of the tragic development, Haniyeh casually dismisses the idea.

“No, why? Let’s continue,” he says, sounding bizarrely upbeat as he walks to the door.

Haniyeh, who has 13 children, according to Hamas sources, later said in an interview with Al Jazeera that his family members “were martyred on the road to liberating Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

The top Hamas leader’s sons and four grandchildren — three boys and a girl — were riding in a car through Gaza’s Shati refugee camp to visit relatives on the first day of the Eid-al-Fitr holiday when it was hit by an Israeli missile.

The Israeli military confirmed the airstrike, saying that Hanieyeh’s sons were targeted because they were terrorists.

It did not comment on the deaths of the grandchildren, claiming there was “no information on that right now.”

Haniyeh lashed out at Israel, saying it was “driven by the spirit of revenge.”

He said the deaths of his loved ones would not soften Hamas’ stance in the ongoing cease-fire talks with Israel.

“The blood of my sons is not dearer than the blood of our people,” he told Al Jazeera. “The enemy will be delusional if it thinks that targeting my sons, at the climax of the negotiations and before the movement sends its response, will push Hamas to change its position.”

It has since emerged that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out the bombing that annihilated Hanieyeh’s family members allegedly without consulting either Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, reported Walla news citing senior officials.

The attack was planned by the IDF and the Shin Bet internal security service, according to the report.

Chareidie Minister Arbel: 'Haredim must understand: There's no moral option to continue this way'

 

Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, of the Sephardic-haredi Shas party, has stated that the haredi public must change its perspective and realize that the refusal to enlist in the IDF is no longer relevant.

Speaking on the Fourth Quarter Movement podcast, Arbel said, "The reality after October 7 is a reality that the haredi public needs to understand and internalize that there is no longer a moral option of continuing this way."

"Each year, there are 1,500 who are eligible to enlist - they must be part of those who bear the burden.

"In addition, there are a significant number of institutions which are designated for struggling youth. All of those institutions - there is no justification in the world that those who by definition do not learn Torah as their occupation should not be part of the army."

In February, Arbel sent a letter to Yossi Levy, CEO of Netzach Yehuda.

In his letter, later published by Yediot Ahronot, Arbel encouraged the integration of haredim into meaningful, long-term military service. He particularly expressed his pleasure at the significant increase in interest among haredi youth to enlist for combat service in the upcoming draft.

Arbel also told Levy how happy he is about the more than 800 new haredi soldiers who have joined the IDF since October 7th. And in an interview, Arbel argued that it is totally indefensible for haredim to claim exemption from military service simply because they are haredim. Like all other Israeli citizens, they should serve, he told the interviewer, except for those who are genuinely engaged in full-time Torah study.

29% of Charedim favor draft of those not studying Torah

 

Makor Rishon found that 29 percent of haredim support the drafting of those who do not study seriously in Yeshiva.

When the survey group, 500 respondents representing a sample of the haredi society, were asked about their estimation of the number of haredim not studying. 25 percent claimed that there are at most one thousand such individuals.

23 percent estimated that there are between one thousand to 3,000 students who "dodge" serious study, 14 percent claimed there are up to 5,000 such individuals, and an equal percentage claimed there are between 5,000 to ten thousand haredim liable for military draft not studying. 12 percent claimed that the group evading studies is larger, up to 20,000, and only about 4 percent in each group noted that in their opinion 30, 40, or 50 thousand are not studying seriously.

In other words, half of the haredim believe that even if those who are not studying are drafted, their number will not exceed 3,000.

Other findings pointed to continued strong opposition to the draft among the haredim . Only 2.7 percent replied that they support military or national service for all haredim , 3.8 percent answered that they prefer national or civilian service only for all haredim . Only 2.3 percent supported service for all the haredim , except for a few thousand Yeshiva students who will continue to study in the Yeshivot.

Haredi respondents were asked about the reasons for their opposition to the draft. 40.3 percent of them stated that the main reason is that in their opinion, studying Torah is no less important than service, 34.8 percent mentioned the fear of not remaining haredim , and 15.9 percent justified it with fear of the service and its dangers.

US And Israeli Officials Fear Most Hostages Held By Hamas Have Been Killed but Biden Continues to insist on a Ceasefire

 Talks continue in Cairo for a hostage release deal and temporary truce, but US and Israeli officials have expressed fears that most of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas since October 7 have been killed in captivity, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Wednesday. While the IDF has confirmed the deaths of 34 of the 129 remaining hostages, officials estimate that the number of deaths could be much higher, with some US estimates suggesting that most hostages are already dead.

The report states that some hostages were likely killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza, while others died from health issues, including injuries sustained during their abduction. Those still alive are believed to be used as human shields, surrounding Hamas leadership in Gaza tunnels.

Hamas has indicated that it may be unable to provide 40 living hostages for the initial release, as previously agreed upon. Israel has insisted that 40 living hostages must be freed in the first phase, with any shortage made up from other categories.

Mossad chief David Barnea told cabinet ministers on Wednesday that freeing all 133 captives and remains held in Gaza in a single truce agreement would be impossible, with at best 40 people being freed in a first phase.

Of the 253 hostages kidnapped during the October 7 attacks, 105 civilians were released during a weeklong truce in late November, and four hostages were released prior to that. Three hostages have been rescued alive, and the bodies of 12 hostages have been recovered, including three mistakenly killed by the military. One person is still listed as missing since October 7.

Hamas is also holding the bodies of fallen IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin since 2014, as well as two Israeli civilians, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who are believed to be alive after entering the Gaza Strip on their own accord in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

OJ Simpson, The Jew Killer Acquitted of Murder in ‘Trial of the Century,’ Dies at 76

 

O.J. Simpson, the decorated football superstar and Hollywood actor who was acquitted of charges he killed his former wife and her Jewish friend but was found liable in a separate civil trial, has died. He was 76.

The family announced on Simpson’s official X account that he died Wednesday of prostate cancer. Simpson’s attorney confirmed to TMZ on Thursday that he died in Las Vegas.

Simpson earned fame, fortune and adulation through football and show business, but his legacy was forever changed by the June 1994 knife slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles.

Live TV coverage of his arrest after a famous slow-speed chase marked a stunning fall from grace.

He had seemed to transcend racial barriers as the star Trojans tailback for college football’s powerful University of Southern California in the late 1960s, as a rental car ad pitchman rushing through airports in the late 1970s, and as the husband of a blond and blue-eyed high school homecoming queen in the 1980s.

“I’m not Black, I’m O.J.,” he liked to tell friends.

The public was mesmerized by his “trial of the century” on live TV. His case sparked debates on race, gender, domestic abuse, celebrity justice and police misconduct.

‘Who Walks Away from a Friend During a Time of War?’

 

U.S. President Joe Biden has “changed his tune” toward the Jewish state, “especially in these last few months,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) charged on Wednesday.

“President Biden has walked away from the strong relationship we have with Israel. You saw Majority Leader Schumer’s comments calling for the prime minister of Israel to be replaced during a time of war. Who walks away from a friend during a time of war?” the Louisiana Republican said. “That’s when you stand with your friends the most, as House Republicans continue to do.”

“We are proud to stand with Israel and their right to defend themselves,” Scalise added.

“Do you stand with Israel or not in a time of war and their right to defend themselves from a terrorist organization who ended the ceasefire?” he added. “If there’s any talk of ceasefire, President Biden, that ended on Oct. 7, when Hamas decided to barbarically murder, not just Jews in Israel, but others.”

“They’re still holding over 100 hostages, including American citizens, and when President Biden called for a ceasefire, he didn’t precondition it on Hamas releasing the hostages,” he said.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an “obstacle” to peace, along with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, and said there should be a change in Israel’s leadership during a March 14 talk on the Senate floor.

Hamas’ bet on the world is paying off Thanks to Biden-Blinken

 

The Biden administration may not have meant to play into Hamas’s hands when it shifted its harsh rhetoric toward Israel last week – but it did.

In a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday in the aftermath of Israel’s deadly strike on a World Central Kitchen aid convoy, President Joe Biden adopted the position of the left flank of his party and called for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza. Though Biden also urged Hamas to release the scores of Israelis believed to still be held hostage in Gaza, to date Hamas has steadfastly rejected the call, including again on Monday, and the Biden administration has not changed its tune.

Also on Thursday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken appeared to suggest that Israel’s failure to prevent civilian casualties in Gaza put the Jewish state at risk of being no better than the terrorist organization Hamas. The administration prodded Israel with a vague threat about changing “US policy with respect to Gaza” if Israel did not take “specific, concrete and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers.” Biden allies on Capitol Hill are now threatening to condition military aid to Israel, though thankfully arms sales have continued unabated so far.

This represents a dramatic, harsh turn following an already shifting approach on Israel that unwittingly emboldens and rewards Hamas. The Biden administration once insisted on Israel’s solemn right to do what it must to eradicate Hamas. Now, it appears to adopt the view that such a right has serious limits and might need to be abandoned well before Hamas has been defeated.

This gives Hamas what it wants in an obvious sense: Hamas considers it a victory to survive when Israel has vowed to destroy it. Hamas counts on a long-running strategy of Westerners intervening to stop Israel’s successful offensives due to humanitarian concerns, which is why Hamas enables Palestinian suffering by using human shields, stealing aid and employing hospitals as military facilities, according to US intelligence, NATO and former Pentagon officials, Palestinians on the ground and CNN and other media reports. Hamas then engages in a PR campaign to magnify the criticism of Israel by failing to distinguish between civilians and combatants in casualty reports.

Governments and NGOs then scrutinize Israel’s responsibility for civilian deaths, despite Hamas being far more to blame for whether civilians are killed since they launch deadly attacks from and store weapons among them. “Hamas wants civilians to be struck. This goes along with their strategy,” Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling told Jake Tapper on CNN on Thursday. “They purposely put civilians in harm’s way.” To its credit, the Biden administration had for months resisted Hamas’ version of events, even as Hamas was doing everything it could to put Palestinian civilians in danger. That ended on Thursday.

Now the Americans are indirectly telling Hamas that it can keep starting wars – as it’s promised to do – aiming to eliminate Israel and then retreating to its tunnels beneath civilian infrastructure because eventually the West will pressure Israel to stop defending itself because the cost to civilians is too high. The tragic World Central Kitchen strike, which Israel admitted was a “grave” mistake, was enough to make Israel’s key ally fold, even though such tragedies are bound to happen in war when the enemy hides behind civilians, as Americans know given its own mistaken attacks in Afghanistanand Iraq.

In fact, Hertling noted that the Israel Defense Forces use a similar targeting approach to that of the United States, and Assistant Secretary of Defense Celeste Wallander in late March testified before Congress that the IDF upholds the same “high standard” in its operations as the United States.

As the Biden administration has ramped up the pressure on Israel to make more concessions in negotiations with Hamas, declaring that the US cannot accept anything other than a successful deal, is it a coincidence that Hamas has repeatedly rejected Israel’s offers? Nadav Eyal, a well-known Israeli diplomatic reporter, cited Israeli intelligence assessments this week in reporting that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar “thinks that he’s winning, and the reason for that is that he’s seeing the kind of pressure employed on Israel. His general gamble from the beginning of the war is that he’ll survive underground for more time than the IDF will survive overground.” Sinwar doesn’t expect to survive because his troops can destroy the IDF, Eyal continued, but because “someone is going to restrain the IDF.”

Biden now doing what Hamas counted on does not just send a message to all our allies that Americans may lose the firmness of their convictions before our allies can defend and protect themselves when they face threats. It encourages our adversaries to continue the cycle of violence that endangers all of our Middle East allies and our own national security.

I know from experience that this is not how to break the cycle. In 2020, with the signing of the Abraham Accords, a historic foreign policy achievement I was privileged to help create the architecture for, courageous Arab leaders in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco established peace with Israel. Granted, the situations are far from identical, with states like the United Arab Emirates having no connection to the territory that is in dispute between Israel and the Palestinians.

Nonetheless, the Abraham Accords are instructive because what made those peace deals possible was a regional attitude shift. The Arab states received a clear message from Israel and its allies: Israel was sovereign on its territory and was not going to give it up. It was better to work with Israel than to try to destroy it. At the same time, the Arab states were undergoing a historical transformation, embracing a future marked by shared economic opportunity, opposition to the threats coming from Tehran and hope for a peaceful and prosperous Middle East. These states, and their courageous leaders, were charting a course for a new version of the Middle East no one expected a decade ago.

Hamas and its Iranian sponsors are now getting the opposite message, that they should never adopt the attitude that led to peace because the West will never allow Israel to conduct its wars the way any other sovereign would: until its enemies are defeated and no longer pose a threat.

This would not be the first time Israel has been forced to end its campaign against Hamas prematurely. In a sense, the October 7 atrocities were just the latest battle in a conflict Israel has not been allowed to finish with a victory since Gazans elected Hamas in 2006. Israel faced pressure from international powers to end fights against Hamas at least three times since then, despite waging defensive wars against an enemy that vows to continue attacking. Israel must be allowed to demonstrate to those who wish to destroy it that they are fighting a losing battle, or this cycle will only continue, with more innocents lost on both sides.

Israelis are now preparing themselves for an Iranian escalation. They fear that the Biden administration’s response to the ayatollahs will echo its treatment of Hamas, an Iranian proxy. They worry that the Americans will fail to use their pulpit to convince Israel’s adversaries to stop making trouble. Worse, they fear that Iran could use its own civilians as shields should war with Israel turn hot, and the US would waver in its support for that war effort, too.

The Biden administration is moved by a virtuous emphasis on keeping civilians safe. But to keep America, Israel and all of America’s other friends and allies in the Middle East safe and secure, and to free the Palestinians in Gaza from the horrific leadership of Hamas, the Biden administration must signal to the world that it unequivocally defends Israel’s right to ensure that Hamas will no longer be a threat to Israel and that all the hostages must be released. Anything less will yield only more death, disaster and destruction in the near term and for the foreseeable future.

As We All Guessed! Hamas says it does not have 40 Israeli hostages to trade in cease-fire deal

 

Hamas has told negotiators it does not have 40 Israeli hostages that it can release as part of a temporary cease-fire deal with Israel, a source familiar with the talks confirmed to The Hill.

The admission raises questions over how many of the remaining hostages kidnapped Oct. 7 are alive and who is holding them. Israel says 133 hostages out of more than 240 abducted that day — mostly Israelis and dual nationals — have yet to be released.

The Biden administration is pushing a plan to have Israel and Hamas agree to a six to eight week cease-fire that is contingent on Hamas releasing hostages, a group that includes older men, civilians and both male and female Israeli soldiers who have been held for 187 days. 

CNN reported on Hamas’s update to negotiators earlier Wednesday. The Israeli prime minister’s office told CNN that of the 129 hostages from Oct. 7, at least 33 are dead.

CIA Director Bill Burns had reportedly proposed that Hamas agree to release 40 hostages in exchange for Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners from Israel jails during a first phase of a three-phase deal. 

President Biden, expressing rising frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, has told the Israeli leader to “empower” his negotiators to reach a deal. 

Talks are ongoing in Cairo, with Egypt and Qatar serving as mediators with Hamas’s leadership, who are hiding out in the Gaza Strip.

Bassem Naeem, Hamas’s director of international relations, told The Hill that he had no information on the number of hostages that Hamas is holding, but said that “the movement is preparing its response to the new proposal.”

Yahya Sinwar, head of Hamas in Gaza, is passed the proposals through secret channels and then sends back a response, a procedure that is time-consuming and tedious. The timing for a response is believed to take a few days, Naeem said. 

The U.S. wants to see a deal to secure the release of hostages, but to also allow for a scale up of humanitarian aid delivery in the Gaza Strip. Biden has stood by Israel’s right to target Hamas to eliminate the threat it would repeat its Oct. 7 attack. 

But the administration, while placing blame on Hamas for triggering Israel’s military response in Gaza, has nonetheless increased its public criticism of Israel for failing to do enough to protect civilian life and the lives of humanitarian workers. 

An Israeli strike killing seven aid workers with the nongovernmental organization World Central Kitchen has dramatically shifted Biden’s tone against Netanyahu. 

But it’s unclear how Hamas’s inability to release the hostages it kidnapped — whether they are alive or dead — will impact the negotiations. Hamas has claimed that Israeli airstrikes have killed some of the hostages. Other military groups in Gaza, such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and even Palestinian civilians are thought to be holding, or have held, hostages.  

Hamas has not provided Israel with a comprehensive list of the people it kidnapped on Oct 7 during its surprise assault on Israel, where about 1,200 people were killed.

Hamas also has the bodies of two Israeli soldiers it captured during a war with Israel in 2014 and two Israeli civilians who crossed into Gaza during that time. 

A week-long cease-fire deal reached in November saw the release of more than 100 people held by Hamas, including Israeli women and children and foreign nationals.

3 Haniyeh's sons Assassinated by Israel this week one was involved in holding Israeli hostages

One of Hamas political bureau chairman Ismail Haniyeh's sons who was eliminated in an Israeli airstrike on a vehicle on Wednesday in the Shati Refugee Camp in Gaza was involved in holding Israeli hostages.

The IDF updated that the strike was not approved by Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi nor by Southern Command commanding officer Yaron Finkleman since the strike was in "real-time" against terrorists who were on their way to commit an act of terror.

The strike was approved by a colonel in the Southern Command Fire Center.

In addition, the IDF explained that the political echelon was indeed not notified ahead of time about the elimination since it followed breaking intelligence, in which case, according to the general staff protocol, a strike is executed without the approval of the political echelon.

The IDF confirmed on Wednesday that IAF aircraft, directed by IDF and ISA intelligence, struck three Hamas military operatives that conducted terrorist activity in the central Gaza Strip.

The three operatives that were struck are Amir Haniyeh, a cell commander in the Hamas military wing, Mohammad Haniyeh, a military operative in the Hamas terrorist organization, and Hazem Haniyeh, also a military operative in the Hamas terror organization, the sons of Ismail Haniyeh, chairman of Hamas's political bureau.

The IDF could not confirm that Haniyeh's grandchildren were also killed in the strike.

Haniyeh reacted to the deaths, telling Al Jazeera that they died "on the way to the liberation of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque" and that he was thankful "for the honor that my children and grandchildren are martyrs."

Hasidim indicted for digging tunnel under 770

 

A group of thirteen young Hasidic Jews were indicted yesterday (Wednesday) for building the tunnel discovered under the historic 770 synagogue in Crown Heights.

The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include obstruction of a government administration and criminal mischief, a federal felony.

The judge ordered the defendants to turn over their passports so they could not leave the country but refused the prosecution's request to bar them from the synagogue they vandalized.

Several of the defendants are currently in Israel. Their lawyer stated that they are also prepared to respond to the charges.

In December, it was discovered that a group of 18-21-year-old men had illegally dug a tunnel underneath the synagogue which serves as the Chabad headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

The tunnel stretched for 60 feet and was eight feet wide, five feet tall, and threatened the structural stability of two nearby buildings.

The diggers used simple tools and bare hands only, and put the dirt into their pockets to avoid other members of the congregation noticing the tunnel.

Drama surrounding the tunnel drew international attention after bedlam broke out at the complex’s synagogue upon the discovery of the tunnel. Videos posted online showed Hasidim clashing with police at the synagogue and rising out of the sewers to escape.

Chief rabbi: Do not visit places of entertainment when the nation is suffering

 

Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, on Wednesday night spoke to thousands of yeshiva students about their role while Israel is at war.

"We must not forget our brothers who are hostages held captive in Gaza by accursed murderers, the families of the murdered and fallen," he said at a conference for yeshiva students held at the International Convention Center (ICC). "May G-d bring them out of suffering, to comfort, and from darkness - to light."

"We must not, in any way, behave rowdily or wander around the streets or places of entertainment during a time when the People of Israel are suffering. 'I am with him in suffering' (Psalms 91:15). We need to feel this - each and every one of us, truly, within himself, and may G-d's Name be sanctified by us."

Rabbi Yosef added, "We are now only a short time before the Seder night (the first night of Passover - ed.). 'In [the Jewish month of] Nissan, the Children of Israel were redeemed, and in Nissan they will be redeemed in the future' - we have a special obligation to use the lofty days of the holiday to pass the Torah traditions on to the next generations, to draw [others] closer and arouse everyone regarding whom there is a concern that they do not find joy in learning, to help them taste the sweetness of the Torah."

"This is our responsibility as Torah learners, and this is the Torah learners' obligation of 'and you shall teach it to your sons' (Exodus 13:8) - to pay attention to those around them, and strengthen all who need support," he concluded.

IRAN ATTACK ON ISRAEL IMMINENT; FORCES ON HIGH ALERT ACROSS MIDEAST

 

A major attack by Iran on Israel is believed to be imminent and could happen in the coming days, according to US and Israeli intelligence assessments. While it is unclear whether the attack will come directly from Iran or through its proxies in the region, Tehran is thought to be planning to use high-precision missiles or drones in the assault.

The warning comes after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for Israel to be “punished” for the recent attack on an Iranian consular building in Damascus, which killed two generals and several members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Iran on Wednesday shut its airspace above the capital city Tehran, claiming that it is due to “military exercises.”

In response to the heightened tensions, the US has pledged to support Israel’s security and has placed its military forces in the region on high alert.

The situation has also led to disruption in air travel, with German airline Lufthansa suspending flights to and from Tehran due to “the current situation in the Middle East.”

The attack, if carried out, would mark a major escalation in tensions between Iran and Israel, which have been building for months.

Jerusalem Hospital’s Admission of Hamas Terrorist Sparks Outrage

 

Dozens of protestors swarmed the halls of Jerusalem’s Hadassah Mount Scopus Medical Center on Wednesday morning after news got out that the hospital was treating a member of Hamas’s “Nukhba force.”

The Nukhba terrorists were one of the leading participants in the terror group’s Oct. 7 attack on the western Negev, during which some 1,200 people were murdered, thousands were wounded and 253 were taken as hostages.

Following calls on social media for people to mobilize in protest, Hadassah closed the entrance to its intensive care unit, covering the glass door with an Israeli flag in an attempt to prevent protesters from locating the terrorist.

“I am on my way to Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital, which is committing a heinous act and has forgotten the horrible massacre and what these despicable terrorists have done to our daughters and the Israeli people,” tweeted Herzl Hajaj, whose daughter was killed in a 2017 terrorist attack.

“We will not forget and not be silent,” wrote Hajaj, who represents Choosing Life, a forum of Israeli terror victims and bereaved families.

In video footage of the incident, Hajaj can be seen arguing with medical staff and security outside a hospital room, which is guarded by at least two armed soldiers, before being escorted off the premises.

“Is this where the terrorist son of a bitch is hospitalized? Is the terrorist hospitalized here?” he shouts, asking security guards to “take the terrorist out of here, not us.”

Hadassah, in a statement shared with Hebrew media on Wednesday afternoon, noted that “every security prisoner treated in Israeli hospitals is brought [there] under the responsibility and according to a decision of the Ministry of Health, the security forces or the army.

Tucker Carlson Falsely Accuses Israel of Persecuting Christians and Agreeing with a vicious antisemite a Christian Pastor

 Conservatives and Jews and are lashing out at Tucker Carlson, who has exposed his true colors, after a scathing podcast episode in which he was highly critical of Israel.

Carlson accused Israel of persecuting Christians during a friendly interview with a Palestinian pastor that sparked outrage from conservatives.

After an extensive monologue in which Carlson said that “a consistent but almost never noted theme of American foreign policy is that it is always the Christians who suffer,” Carlson hosted Reverend Munther Isaac, a pastor from Bethlehem — which is controlled by the PLO — to discuss the Israeli government’s treatment of Christians.

The interview focused on Christian casualties in the war in Gaza, as well as Israel’s treatment of Christians generally. “It would be pretty easy for Republicans in the U.S. Congress to say we support the government of Israel. But if you touch a single Christian, harm a single church, or prevent any Christian from practicing his religion, you’re done. Not a single dollar will come from the U.S. Congress for you,” suggested Carlson. He did not say whether he thought a similar standard should be applied to other conflicts in which “a single Christian” was harmed.

“If you wake up in the morning and decide that your Christian faith requires you to support a foreign government, blowing up churches and killing Christians. I think you’ve lost the thread,” added Carlson.
