🚨 Israeli Ambassador to the UN Dany Danon Leads UN Ambassadors Into Gaza
Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Dany Danon, led a delegation of UN ambassadors this morning on a tour of Israeli communities near the Gaza border and inside the Gaza Strip. It was reportedly the first time a delegation of UN ambassadors had entered the Strip.
The delegation saw the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7 attack and was shown Hamas’s terror infrastructure in Gaza. The ambassadors were also briefed on the ongoing threat posed by Hamas’s efforts to rebuild its military capabilities.
“As long as Hamas rules - there will be no rehabilitation,” Danon said during the tour.

The most important thing about watching this video is to understand that many "antizionists" in the West believe that threatening Jews in the disapora is a perfectly acceptable, indeed commendable, way to advance their version of the Palestinian cause.
This is why Jews on college campuses have been subjected to a wave of violence, intimidation, and threats, why Philly bike-riders wanted to intimidate Jewish businesses, why Jews are being harassed more generally all over the country. It's what "globalizing the intifada" means in practice.
And "antizionist" politicians like Mamdani and El Sayed, instead of forthrightingly condemning this, turn questions about it back to Israel.
Jews and their friends need to be 100% clear on this, as a total red line: we don't care what your views are on Israel/the Palestinians, how deeply you feel them, or what your colonial studies professor told you: the rights of Jews in the the US, Canada, and other countries, like the rights of all other citizens, are completely non-negotiable, and any politician who thinks or acts otherwise is not fit to hold office.
Palestinian Nationalist Laith Marouf issued an ultimatum to "anti-Zionist Jews" like Ben Moser:
Lead an anti-Zionist revolution and take control of all Jewish synagogues, schools, organizations and institutions OR you will be Holocausted again.
This is what BadEmpanada ("George of Patmos") and Barak Mayer is demanding too.
Anything less than that is "upholding Zionism".
(And while Benjamin "Moser" Moser claims that anti-Zionism means Arabs and Jews living in love and peace in a one-state solution, Marouf, Aladwan and other Palestinian nationalists say all Jews will be expelled after Israel is destroyed.)

The Missing Half of the Nasser Story: Why Hamas Keeps Escaping Accountability! The world erupted in rage over the Israeli Nasser Hospital strike in Khan Younis (Southern Gaza Strip) on November 12. Dr. Rizk Abu Shaira, a surgeon beloved by locals and by the American and British volunteers who worked beside him, was killed. So was a 13-year-old boy awaiting a procedure. Twenty-seven others were wounded. Those deaths are real, and they demand answers. But the outrage is incomplete.
The strike targeted Mohammed Abu Ismail, commander of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade and a participant in October 7. It also killed Murad Abu Zarifa, a Hamas member who held hostages that day. Most notably, it killed Khaled Abu Anza, head of Hamas’s intelligence and internal security in southern Gaza. His name is tied to torture, arrests, executions, and harassment of anyone suspected of opposing Hamas. He turned Nasser Hospital into an interrogation hub and built jail cells inside it. My friends were interrogated, jailed, beaten, and humiliated there by his men at the Hospital.
Many Gazans call Nasser “Thakana Askaria,” a military outpost. Hamas controls the medical facility. Offices of its Interior, Commerce, and Finance ministries operate inside, helping run its control and taxation of Gaza since the October 2025 ceasefire.
The world ignored repeated reports from me and countless others documenting Palestinians arrested, tortured, imprisoned, beaten, and interrogated inside Nasser Medical Complex, dismissing them as propaganda. Enragingly, almost all the condemnations of the November 12 Israeli airstrikes omitted any reference to Hamas or the reality that a jihadist terrorist organization continues to operate from civilian areas despite possessing tunnels and other infrastructure of its own.
Everyone knows Hamas is entrenched inside Nasser, as it is in the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. The UN, NGOs, Gazans, Arab states, the U.S., and Europe all know it. International Humanitarian Law (IHL) allows protected status to be removed from medical facilities that are used for military purposes. Yet few say so, because saying so is inconvenient.
Israel may be wrong here. It may even be criminally negligent. But outrage that targets only Israel ignores Hamas's responsibility for turning a hospital into a battlefield. This is not a defense of Israel. It is a plea to recognize the danger Hamas's actions pose to innocent Palestinian civilians. If Palestinian lives matter when Israel causes harm, they must matter when Hamas does too. Consistency demands nothing less.
Here's another 2028 suggestion from a lifelong Independent:
Rubio/Haley or Haley/Rubio.
GOP needs a woman on the ticket to counter whomever the Dems put up.

It really should be obvious at this point that the most humanitarian thing that could be done for the peaceful residents of Gaza is to let the IDF go in there and get rid of Hamas. As long as Hamas is there concrete is not going to be allowed to go into Gaza. If Hamas has concrete they'll use it to build tunnels and they'll use it to fortify themselves again to prepare for the next October 7, which Israel obviously cannot allow.
You have a choice: you can either have concrete in Gaza or Hamas. If you don't have concrete and you don't have building materials, then everybody's stuck in tents indefinitely.
And if you aren't going to let the IDF go into Gaza and get rid of Hamas, then you should at least be nice enough to the residents of Gaza to allow them to leave (so they can actually live in a house instead of a damn tent).
But that, of course, assumes that people care more about the well-being of Gazan civilians rather than their utility as a weapon to undermine the state of Israel.

Mahvash Aminzadeh was a maid to Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi at Niavaran Palace.
During the 1979 revolution, Islamist mobs dragged her through Tehran’s streets, beat and stabbed her, then burned her alive before a large crowd.
Iran is occupied by evil. RIP Mahvash. Free Iran!

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST COGNITIVE WARFARE: LESSONS FROM A MARRIOTT BALLROOM
Cognitive warfare isn't only disinformation. It is the use of language, symbols and psychology to shape and influence what we think.
I took a well-practiced reporting methodology into the Marriott ballroom when I went to hear Abdul El-Sayed speak last Friday night — and I hope that some of my methodology will help you the next time you confront cognitive warfare directed at you.
I try to lay out all of my efforts piercing the cognitive warfare in my new @FoxNews Digital piece.
My goal: move us from darkness to light 🔆
🔆 1) Hear how words are weaponized. "Free from Zionists" invokes the concept of "freedom" but the term has a very different and even violent consequence. Pierce through the rhetoric to consider what the actual consequence of even inspiring words would be. What does "Free Palestine" mean? Where is a "free Palestine"? Press for answers. Then you'll learn, it means the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state.
🔆 2) Notice contested slogans. "From the river to the sea" is offered as a freedom chant in the ballroom. It's a battle cry to many Jews, calling for the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state. Ask yourself the question: what river? What sea? What's in between? Then you'll be able to process: it's a land called Israel.
🔆 3) Watch who is standing together. When a Mao cap, a keffiyeh and a senator-elect share one celebration, that is data. Unusual alliances often share a target, even if they don't share an endgame.
🔆 4) Value the nonverbal as much as the spoken word. A senator-elect's silent presence when a foundation chairman calls for freeing Palestine "from the river to the sea" and eliminating "Zionists" is part of the movement's script. El-Sayed listened quietly. The chairman said the quiet part out loud. El-Sayed didn't protest. Both facts are worthy of our attention.
🔆 5) Break the fourth wall. Follow the money and the infrastructure, not just the applause and what is happening where the cameras are pointed. Endorsements, spending, who is in the front row, who is in the back of the room, they're all part of the story. Who is filming and packaging the story is also part of the narrative.
We don't have to be experts to protect ourselves from cognitive warfare.. We just have to be willing to slow down, hear the words, watch the signs and refuse to outsource our understanding to a chant, a meme. a viral video or the person standing at the microphone.
You got this!

A new poll of American college students found:
22% believe America deserved 9/11.
42% prefer socialism over capitalism.
38% consider Palestine a better US ally, compared to just 25% for Israel.
40% support criminalizing offensive speech.
Nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered by Islamist terrorists on 9/11, and more than 1 in 5 college students think America deserved it.
What on earth are American universities teaching these kids?
