WaPo Columnist Explains Why Photojournalist Might Be Carrying a Grenade

 If you wonder at the ignorance of the young generation now so badly educated and misinformed, look no further than the media and their choice of information to spoonfeed us.

CauseACTION  "It’s becoming pretty clear that CNN, the AP, and the New York Times had freelance photojournalists embedded with Hamas on October 7. We have one who posted a selfie of himself being kissed on the cheek by the leader of Hamas. And we also have a video reportedly showing one of the freelancers riding on the back of a motorcycle and holding a grenade.

"Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle thinks she can explain the grenade.

"I understand Israel’s anger, but it is morally wrong and a political mistake to target journalists who rushed to cover a story. Possibly some of them are complicit, I don’t know. But Israel should give them the benefit of the doubt. https://t.co/9fPdOng8Hk

We have no idea whether they were told of the attack in advance, whether they simply rushed to cover the breakthrough and followed fighters through, or whether they had any opportunity to prevent the crimes.

 CNN Fires Gaza-Based Photojournalist Discovered to Be Embedded With Hamas (msn.com)   "We had no prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 attacks. Hassan Eslaiah, a freelance journalist who has worked with a number of international and Israeli outlets, was not working for the network on Oct. 7. As of today, we have severed all ties with him," the statement read.

"The decision came following a report from the pro-Israel watchdog group Honest Reporting that named several Gaza-based photojournalists working for major news media companies including CNN, The New York Times, the Associated Press and Reuters and raised "ethical questions" regarding their proximity and relation to Hamas.

"Of Eslaiah, Honest Reporting wrote that he "crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza." The group also said that it "obtained screenshots of Eslaiah's now-removed tweets on X in which he documented himself standing in front of the Israeli tank. He did not wear a press vest or a helmet, and the Arabic caption of his tweet read: 'Live from inside the Gaza Strip settlements.'"

"Additionally, an undated photo of Eslaiah posing in an embrace with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar (pictured above) resurfaced Wednesday, further raising concerns over the photographer's relationship with the organization. Sinwar masterminded the Hamas attacks that killed 1,400 Israelis last month."

MSNBC, Joy Reid, Ali Velshi; they should all make him welcome, being yokefellows.

HISTORIC! House Committee Subpoenas President Biden's Brother, Son

  PJ Media  "New Rules alert! In a move that was once unthinkable but is now par for the course in the banana republic formerly known as the United States, the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to President Joe Biden's immediate family members.

"House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today issued subpoenas to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, brother, James Biden, and Biden family associate, Rob Walker, to appear for depositions," the committee announced in a press release on Wednesday. "Chairman Comer also requested additional members of the Biden family and their associates appear for transcribed interviews. Chairman Comer plans to send additional subpoenas and transcribed interview requests later this week."

"According to the Oversight Committee's Twitter/X account, those additional subpoenas will go to:

• Sara Jones Biden (wife of Joe Biden's brother, James)
• Hallie Biden (widow of Joe Biden's deceased son, Beau, and erstwhile slam-piece of Hunter Biden)
• Elizabeth Secundy (Hallie Biden's older sister, also erstwhile slam-piece of Hunter Biden)
• Melissa Cohen (wife and current slam-piece of Hunter Biden)
• Tony Bobulinski (Hunter Biden's former business partner)

"Recognizing the Historic! nature of the move, the committee commemorated the occasion by posting video online of Comer signing the subpoenas. I am embedding it here so you can enjoy it as much as I did:

Two young Brits protesting Israel and calling for a ‘ceasefire’ learn about the Hamas attack… only after joining the demonstration

 Mindless drones like these are what have Joe Biden and his Democrats frozen in place.

This exchange proves once again that there are people involved in the political process who have literally no understanding of anything, and therefore have no business being involved in said process. They’re welcome to make blind decisions based on zero facts in their personal lives, but when it comes time to the lives of others? Absolutely not.

 Talk about sheep.

"Did these girls just see a bleating flock of “progressives” and decide to join? (Sure seems like it.)

"Is their ignorance an outlier, or a reflection of the rest of the crowd? (I suspect the latter.)

"To be honest, I’m pretty taken aback at how a single young person in the first world can have made it all the way through to November, more than thirty days after the Hamas attack, without having some inkling about what happened. Aren’t almost all young people, especially leftist young people on social media platforms, digital environments which have been totally saturated with content and opinions regarding the October 7th slaughter, as well as all the explosive demonstrations that have followed?

"But in the context of this news item, I was even more perplexed, because these girls are actually at a “ceasefire” pro-Palestine protest… participating! But then I remembered that they are leftists, and ignorance has thus far proved to be an immutable characteristic, and I was slightly less confused—but still…."

 Harvard Installs Jew Detectors At All Entrances | Babylon Bee

"CAMBRIDGE, MA — The President of Harvard University, Claudine Gay, announced today that the university has installed Jew detectors at all entrances.

"This is a step in the right direction," President Gay told reporters. "It might not be the last step. We are always looking for a final solution to the Jewish problem on campus."

"The move to install Jew detectors at all entrances comes amidst a wave of anti-semitic attacks on campus. The hope in using the detector system is that, once detected, Jewish students can be safely concentrated away in a location or camp where they will be free to be Jewish away from the other students.

"The detectors, which claim to be capable of detecting a Jew with 99.99% accuracy, are designed to pick up the most blatant Zionism, basic ethnic markers, and even the slightest trace of disgust over the targeted murder and kidnapping of children for the noble cause of freeing Palestine.

""The Jew detector systems we have installed show our resolve in tackling bigotry and keeping everybody safe while maintaining our commitment to free expression and tolerance," Gay said in her announcement."

‘Wonder Woman’ Star Gal Gadot Plans Hollywood Screening of Hamas Atrocities Against Jews

 

Breitbart   "Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot plans to screen footage provided by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that shows atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists when they entered Israel on October 7 and began a barbaric campaign of rape, murder, and mass kidnappings.

"Israel news outlet 124 reports the Hollywood screening of the 47-minute sequence is scheduled to take place in front of a specially chosen audience, featuring celebrities and prominent figures.

"Oscar-winning director Guy Nattiv, who spearheaded the initiative, revealed to 124, “Gal Gadot and her husband, Yaron Varsano, helped make this possible.”

"The pro-Israel media watchdog organization brought up ethical concerns Wednesday, noting that media photographers seemed to have known about the attack and were quite at ease among the terrorists, who were shooting every other civilian they found.

"Later, photographs emerged of one of the photographers posing for selfies with the local Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.

"In a statement, the National Public Diplomacy Directorate of the Prime Ministers’s Office demanded action by news agencies:

The National Public Diplomacy Directorate in the Prime Minister’s Office views with utmost gravity that photojournalists working with international media joined in covering the brutal acts of murder perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on Saturday October 7th in the communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip.

These journalists were accomplices in crimes against humanity; their actions were contrary to professional ethics.

Overnight the Government Press Office issued an urgent letter to the bureau chiefs of the media organizations that employed these photographers and sought clarifications on the matter.

Footage of Oct. 7 Hamas Attack Screens in Hollywood Under Heavy Guard – The Hollywood Reporter

On Wednesday night, with a sizable security presence and protesters audible through the walls, some 200 members of the industry screened 'Bearing Witness,' comprising 43 minutes of uncensored footage, at the Museum of Tolerance in West L.A.

Could these have been the same people waiting outside the hospital to get to the two sheriff's deputies being treated for wounds caused by an ambush as they sat in their patrol car?

More from this article: . . ."While gathering evidence, Lahav 433 also took testimony from a woman who said she witnessed the gang-rape and murder of another young woman.

"Haaretz reports the witness told officers of how she watched the shocking attack unfold as she hid from Hamas gunmen wearing military uniforms.

" 'As I am hiding, I see in the corner of my eye that [a terrorist] is raping her,' the witness told investigators. 'They bent her over and I realised they were raping her and simply passing her on to the next [gunman].'

"The witness says the victim was 'alive' and 'on her feet and bleeding from her back. But then the situation was that he was pulling her hair. She had long, brown hair.'

"The woman told officers one of the Hamas gunmen 'shot her in the head while he was raping her... didn't even lift his pants'.

"Her testimony has been reported in a number of Israeli news outlets. It was one of thousands of pieces of evidence gathered by the police."

Jewish Community Rallies Around NYC Cafe Owner After Pro-Hamas Baristas Walk off the Job

  RedState  

Our staff was young. They think they know everything, liberal, college-educated,” Dahan, who is Jewish, told The Post on Tuesday. “They think we’re supporting genocide, we’re supporting colonialism. They know the keywords but they don’t really know what they mean.” 

 "The weeks following the terror attack on Israel have been hard on Israelis, certainly, but also on Jewish communities around the world. These communities have had to watch as posters of the hostages are torn down by sneering antisemites and throngs of pro-Hamas protesters storm through the streets screaming, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." This is also known as a call for the destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews.

"The pro-Hamas crowd have definitely outed themselves these past weeks. When faced with the decision whether to tear down the poster of a baby ripped from his family by Hamas or be a decent human being and walk on by, they choose destruction. It's almost always young people, some with Middle Eastern heritage and some just meddling white kids whose college years did them no favors.

"New York City, with its large Jewish population, has been ground zero in the United States for recent antisemitic activity. Every day, it seems, there is a new video posted to social media of odd-looking cretins tearing into the hostage posters with the glee of a feral dog tearing into a piece of raw meat. Any humanity they might have once had is gone in a flash; occasionally, bystanders try to step in and stop the insanity, but there is no shame when it comes to antisemites. 

"That's why the story that made headlines on Tuesday was such a nice departure from the usual enraging updates.

"Tlaib! One mocha!"

"It starts with the bad: Aaron Dahan, the young owner of Caffe Aronne, a coffee shop on New York City's Upper East Side, thought he would have to close down because all of his baristas had walked off the job. It's not that this was a bad place to work, it was because Dahan is Jewish, displayed an Israeli flag in his cafe, and had started a fundraiser for Magen David Adom – Israel's Red Cross. Oh, and the baristas were supporters of Hamas who bolted when Dahan questioned them about the Free Palestine pins they were wearing to work." . . .

. . ."Others showed up offering to help Dahan's mother run the shop and keep the lights on. Bina Dabbah said she'd “wash the dishes...[and] mop the floors. All this antisemitism is very frightening. I know the baristas here and it’s just very upsetting that all these young people are – I don’t know what they are, ignorant? Hateful? Brainwashed? It’s very scary this is what’s happening in this country, but I hope somebody knows how to fix it because it’s really scary.' ”

I recognize those people from the Antifa riots with their masks and slogans; they yelled words that came from their leaders and not from them. I have to say not one original thought was expressed by them yet our society has been destroyed by nothing more significant than that. the Tunnel Dweller.

Israel celebrates breaching ground Hamas didn’t foresee as war enters second month

An account I find fascinating; TD

FDD's Long War Journal

"Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Tuesday that Gaza has been revealed to be the world’s largest “man-made terror base.” He portrayed current Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar as stuck in a bunker somewhere in Gaza, cut off from other Hamas commanders. Netanyahu has also hinted at the depth of Israel’s strikes saying “Hamas is finding out that we’re getting to places it didn’t think we’d reach. And the campaign is still underway.' ”

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to members of Israel’s elite Egoz unit on Tuesday, exactly one month after Hamas’ surprise attack on the country flipped the world upside down. The Egoz unit specializes in guerilla-style warfare and is part of Israel’s commando brigade. It uses special weapons and tactics. “I would like to tell you that what we see on the ground, from the reports the War Cabinet and I receive, and the conversations with commanders and soldiers, it is an extraordinary success. I tell you, the Americans were here. They explained to us what was in Fallujah and what was here and there, and they are amazed at what we have achieved,” Netanyahu told the soldiers at a base in the Negev desert.

"The Prime Minister admitted there are challenges. “There are UAVs, IEDs and anti-tank fire. That is true. Sometimes there are very painful losses but all in all, the success is phenomenal because we went in there and hit the enemy – this is a great success. We do not intend to stop; we intend to continue to the end,” he said, according to a statement from Israel’s Government Press Office.

"Netanyahu also gave an address to the country on Tuesday. He reiterated that there would be no ceasefire in Gaza without the return of the 240 hostages being held by Hamas and other terror groups.

"Israel’s former Minister of Defense Benny Gantz spoke to the country as well in a separate statement. He joined the War Cabinet from the opposition early in the war. He stressed that there would be a time for protests or criticism, but that the country should remain united during the war and support the soldiers.  He also referenced the multi-front threats Israel is facing.

"That all came as Hezbollah tried to target Israel with an anti-tank missile and fired more than 20 rockets toward northern Israel. The IDF also intercepted “a suspicious aerial target” that flew from Lebanon, likely another Hezbollah drone. Hezbollah has used drones, rockets and anti-tank missile threats often against Israel over the last month. Naim Qassem, Hezbollah’s deputy secretary-general, gave an interview to NBC in which he threatened escalation if Israel continues its war in Gaza." . . .

Israel's Givati Brigade Uncovered Maps of Tunnels, Critical Intel 

 "Israel has uncovered secret documents after they attacked Hamas in the “refugee camp” of Jabaliya, where they killed a mastermind of October 7 and other Hamas terrorists.

"They found secret documents, including information on the underground tunnel systems.

"This could be why Hamas offered to turn over all the hostages they held in exchange for a five-day ceasefire.

"According to Jerusalem Post, soldiers for the Givati Brigade of the IDF took control over a Hamas stronghold in the northern Gaza Strip, uncovering documentation that could be crucial for the IDF moving forward in the war.. . ."

Survivor Testimony: Hamas Used Mass Rape as Weapon of War Oct. 7

"The Hamas terrorists who massacred over 1,400 Israelis and took over 200 people hostage on October 7 committed mass rape, Arutz Sheva reports, according to survivor testimony and interrogation of captured terrorists gathered by the Israel Police’s special Lahav 433 unit.

"Dozens of cases of sexual assault and sexual crimes by Hamas terrorists have been documented, according to police evidence released Wednesday.

"One massacre survivor testified that she saw another woman being raped in front of her, Arutz Sheva reports. “I knew that he raped her, then they transferred her to someone else. She was alive until, in the end, he shot her,” said the survivor.

"Multiple terrorists revealed they had been instructed to kill Jewish children because the children would grow up to become IDF soldiers , as well as to abuse the corpses of their victims in order to sow fear in Israeli society, Aruzu Sheva writes." . . .

Pelosi knows that any action against Tlaib would infuriate the supporters of the far-Left Jihad caucus, which now represents a significant voting bloc for the Democrat Party. Pelosi also knows that if she is accused of being Islamophobic it will be the end of her political career.

. . ."It’s a favorite globalist tactic to bring down a great nation. You do it by replacing the native population with those from foreign cultures who do not share the host country’s values. In fact, most refugees from Somalia or Syria would say, if they’re honest, that they hate American values, in many cases for good reason. We used cluster bombs and cruise missiles to destroy their homelands so now we bring them here thinking they will want to assimilate into the same culture that just bombed their homes and sent them fleeing?

"Not one of the wars fought by U.S. troops since the end of World War II has had anything to do with defending the American homeland. What these wars have done is create a very unstable world with a lot of pent-up hatred for America and Americans.

"America is blessed with such favorable geography, surrounded by water and friendly neighbors, that it could never be conquered by a foreign invader if it had just resisted the temptation to build empire, if it had simply said, after World War II, that we will be open to trade with all nations but harbor hostilities toward none. And it would not have taken a rocket scientist to figure this out. Any nation blessed with a geographic location such as that enjoyed by America would be safe by simply having a reasonable defense budget focused on protecting its borders from foreign invaders. But those entrusted with running American foreign policy over the last 80-plus years have violated this simple wisdom at every turn." . . .

A horror story for climate zealots

  American Thinker

Zero carbon means zero industrial civilization.  It means 7 billion people starve to death.  It means we have forgotten to fear the cold.

. . ."Most folks don’t think of Jack London when it comes to the authors of frightening stories, but you should.  Because Jack London wrote one of the most unsettling and frightening stories ever told.  It’s called “To Build a Fire.”

"It’s a half-hour read, and it doesn’t have ghosts, werewolves, or possessed dolls.  “To Build a Fire” is a horror story where the only thing that is going wrong is the subject of the story’s lack of imagination.

"He is a man who has forgotten how to be afraid of the cold.  He doesn’t imagine just how many degrees of frost he is facing.

"Everything he does is a mistake.  Every time he tries to make things better, they get worse.  And it all was 100% preventable.

"As I read “To Build a Fire” again this fall, I realized that this work might as well be a metaphor for Joe Biden’s energy policies.

"When the man sets out in weather he knows is colder than usual, also knowing that he is inexperienced...I am reminded of our sudden obsession with “zero carbon,” with zero real-world experience in zero carbon.

"When he builds a fire under a snowy branch and discovers that warming snow falling on his fire puts the fire out, I am reminded of the folly of the E.V. fiasco.

"And at each point along the way towards his doom, he thinks about the warm camp he will arrive at later.  Denying the reality that he has already made a series of fatal errors is the biggest fatal error he makes. 

"It’s a lot like the illusion climate zealots have that getting rid of carbon somehow means that they get to keep civilization.  They don’t get to keep it if they get what they want." . . .
