How to impress your Jewish friends on Hanukkah (or is it Chanukah?) |

 Adam Sandler shows the hows and whos of Hanukkah

. . ." Say it, don't spell it

"Guess what — Jews don't actually care how you spell Hanukkah. Most days I can't even spell it without the help of Google. Ya know, get it wrong by missing an "n" or adding a "k." The Hebrew? ( חֲנֻכָּה,) Forget about it.

"But please, if you do wanna wish me a happy one, try to avoid using the "ch" sound, like cheese. Cha-NOO-Ka. Wrong. Just wrong. Adam Sandler was just joking, OK?"

Hamas Terrorists Surrender en Masse, and the Photos and Videos Are Telling

 WATCH: Hamas Terrorists Surrender en Masse, and the Photos and Videos Are Telling – RedState

The war against Hamas is now two months old, with the initial attack from the terrorists coming on October 7th. During that time, we've been assured that everyone is starving in Gaza due to the evil siege being carried out by Israel. In that picture, though, I see a whole lot of man boobs and beer guts. What does that tell you? It tells you that Hamas has been stealing aid and keeping its fighters well-fed as they cower underground. 

"Photos and videos of Hamas fighters stripped to their underwear have begun to circulate showing the sheer numbers of prisoners being taken.  

Every single member and supporter of Hamas needs to see this picture.
Let their spirit be utterly broken.
Let them surrender in their droves.
And let this war end so that peaceful people in Israel and Gaza can simply live their lives. pic.twitter.com/Y1Sivm4MSK

"I look forward to the United Nations and the rest of the "international community" claiming that strip-searching terrorists before detaining them is somehow a violation of the laws of war. We all know that's coming, and there have already been a myriad of articles (such as this one from Reuters) quoting "Gaza health officials" claiming humanitarian abuses." . . . 

"To its credit, Israel is ignoring all the noise, including coming from the Biden administration, and is focusing on its ultimate goal. PM Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking for the current unity government, has said that destroying Hamas is how this ends, and the IDF is continuing that pursuit. Some reports have even put Yahya Sinwar, the military leader of Hamas, in tunnels underneath Khan Younis. If that turns out to be true, Israel could be closing in on delivering its biggest blow yet. 

"Returning to the pictures of Hamas terrorists being taken prisoner, there are some things to note. Take this one on the beach as an example. 

Thank you Hashem for letting the Jewish people start Hanukah with a smile thanks to this mass surrender of Hamas terrorists in Gaza. This should be the first of many! Thank you, IDF! 🙏🇮🇱💪❤️ pic.twitter.com/ECEu4j7dUu

Something eerie, something creepy, is happening in the world—and now in America as well.

 Something eerie, something creepy, is happening in the world—and now in America as well. The dark mood is brought on by elite universities, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry, and massive immigration from illiberal nations and anti-Enlightenment societies.

"At Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York, hundreds of students rioted on news that a single teacher in her private social media account had expressed support for Israel. Waving Palestinian flags, and screaming violent threats, the student mob rioted, destroyed school property, sought the teacher out and tried to crash into her classroom—before she was saved from violence by other teachers and an eventual police arrival.

"The subtext was that the overwhelmingly minority students (whose school is ranked academically near the bottom among New York City schools) were acculturated to the racist reality that as the “oppressed” they were exempt from any punishment for hunting down their own teacher. As a Jewish (and thus white) “oppressive” supporter of Israel, she was reduced to, in the words an enthusiastic commenter on a Tik Tok video of the riot, a “cracker ass bitch.” And so the student pack tracked her down as if they were hunting an animal. The old Nazi youth gangs tried to kill Jews because they were not considered “white;” our new Nazis hunt them down because they allege that they are. The common denominator between the 1930s and 2023 is an unhinged hatred of Jews.

"Hundreds of such incidents are now occurring on a daily basis—as the country is leaving its Weimar phase and heading at warp speed into normalizing Jew-hatred and worse. Instructors singled out Jewish students in classes at UC Davis and Stanford. Pro-Hamas students ripped down posters, swarmed public buildings, and disrupted traffic.

"A pro-Israeli demonstrator in Los Angeles was hit on the head and killed by a pro-Palestinian university professor.

"Jewish students were trapped in a Cooper Union University library surrounded by pro-Hamas demonstrators. At MIT, Jewish students were warned to keep away from particular areas of the campus deemed dangerous for them.

"What would happen to a university president who warned black or Latino students to keep clear of areas where she could not guarantee their safety from other students?" . . .

Jayapal's response after Bash says some have been silent about Hamas' use of sexual violence |

 Video: CNN Politics

"CNN's Dana Bash challenges Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) over the lack of attention and failure to condemn Hamas' use of sexual violence and rape against Israeli women." . . .

"This is a clip from the Nova Festival on October 7: A festival of joy, a festival of peace, a #festival of love...and a festival where #Hamas ruthlessly massacred over 260 innocent civilians and kidnapped countless more.

There are no words to describe this incomprehensible tragedy.

May the memories of the victims forever be a blessing, and may those who have been kidnapped return home safely soon."

What we know about rape and sexual violence inflicted by Hamas during its terror attack on Israel

“I say to the women’s rights organizations. I say to the human rights organizations, you have heard of the rape of Israeli women. Horrible atrocities, sexual mutilation. Where the hell are you?” Netanyahu said. 

 CNN   "imchat Greyman had to pause several times when describing the evidence of sexual violence he saw when recovering bodies of victims of the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.

"One body was so severely brutalized that he and his colleagues from ZAKA, the ultra-orthodox Jewish human remains recovery organization, couldn’t tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"Greyman described finding a woman who was shot in the back of her head, lying on her bed, naked from her waist down. A live grenade was planted in her hand.

"And then there was the body with the nails.

“ 'I was called into a house, I was told there are few bodies over there. I saw in front of my eyes a woman, laying (down). She was naked and she had nails …,” Greyman managed to say before pausing for a long time, struggling to get the words out.

“ 'She had nails and different objects in her female organs. Her body was brutalized in a way that we could not identify her,” he added, the trauma clearly visible on his face." . . .

Yet we sent truckloads of aid to the people who did this.

"Don't Laugh, Man!" - Joe Biden Tells Brazen Lie About Wanting to Play Lacrosse and Football at the Same Time (VIDEO)

"Another lie.

Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks at the White House Tribal Nations Summit at the Department of Interior.

Biden told a brazen lie about wanting to play lacrosse and football at the same time.

“I wanted to play lacrosse, but you had to choose between lacrosse and football. You couldn’t play both in the same season. I was the runner-up in the state scoring championship! Don’t laugh, man!” Biden said.

Football is a fall sport and lacrosse is a spring sport.

"Joe Biden is a pathological liar.

"Per Zach Parkinson: Archmere Academy (Biden’s high school) didn’t have a boy’s lacrosse team until 1993, 32 years after he graduated." . . .

Prepared Transcript Of Joe Biden’s Speech To The Nation About Antisemitism (Satire)

 Robin M. Itzler Good evening, my fellow Americans. First, I want to be clear that the United States of America supports its most trusted ally, Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. This is why shortly after the horrific Hamas pogrom that killed approximately 1,400 Israelis, injured thousands more, and kidnapped 200 people, mostly civilians, my administration gave Hamas $100 million in humanitarian aid. While Hamas spent most of the money on ammunition, missiles, and guns so they could injure and kill more Israelis, it’s important to note that everything was stored in a hospital, which is why we consider it humanitarian aid.

Then, on November 14, the State Department reissued a sanctions waiver that gave Iran, the world’s leading exporter of terrorism and the number one country funding Hamas, access to more than $10 billion.

And let’s not forget that, before the Hamas attack, we never complained that Iran was ignoring US sanctions and selling its oil to China, Russia, and other pro-terrorist nations and raking in tens of billions of dollars to help fund terrorist attacks in Israel.

. . ."Since the barbaric Hamas attack on Israel, the United States has repeatedly called for a ceasefire to allow Hamas time to plan future attacks. The ceasefire is very important because we need to win Michigan in the 2024 election.

"I’m not supposed to say this, but the Muslims in Michigan mean a helluva lot more to me than the Jews in America or Israel.

"Now I know many Americans are upset seeing rallies supporting Hamas terrorists. There is nothing more frustrating than being held up in traffic by the same protestors you saw at the “mostly peaceful” 2020 Black Lives Matter riots. I understand these Americans’ anger. I get angry when the ice cream store runs out of my favorite flavor.

"By the way, am I the only one who confuses the Palestinian and Pride flags?

"My fellow Americans, I like Jews. Jewish delis make the best pastrami sandwiches. Surely, Hunter must have slept with some Jewish women." . . .

The best we can expect from Democrats

 Democrats working on resolution condemning Hamas’ use of sexual violence

"Two House Democrats are planning on introducing a resolution this week condemning Hamas’ use of sexual violence and rape against Israeli women in the wake of Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s comments to CNN’s Dana Bash that upset a number of her Democratic colleagues.

"While Jayapal condemned the rape of Israeli women by Hamas and called it “horrific” on CNN’s “State of the Union,” she pointed out that over 15,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since the start of the war and said, “I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians.”

"Jayapal’s comments have set off a firestorm within the Congressional Progressive Caucus and speak to the broader divisions within the Democratic Party over how to address the war between Israel and Hamas. Her remarks come as Democrats have struggled to reconcile support for Israel’s right to defend itself in the wake of the October 7 attacks and rising protests, especially on the left, over the devastation in Gaza.

"Democratic Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida, who left the Progressive Caucus last month due to divisions within the group over the war, has begun drafting the resolution, a Democratic lawmaker familiar with the plans told CNN.

"A source familiar with Frankel’s thinking told CNN combating rape as a weapon of war is a long-standing priority for the congresswoman and the resolution was not drafted as a response to any comments made by other members.

"Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan, a member of the progressive group, told CNN’s Kasie Hunt on Monday she plans to introduce the resolution with Frankel this week and is going to talk to Jayapal about her comments.

“I’m going to talk to Pramila,” Dingell said on “State of the Race” on Monday. “I’m just going to speak for myself on this subject. And I’m raw on this subject because of the hate that I have had directed at me for speaking the truth. I will speak the truth.”

"A number of progressives in the caucus have raised concerns that Jayapal is speaking publicly in her capacity as chair when the group, which represents a broad spectrum of opinions, has not taken an official position on any of these complicated issues pertaining to the war, another Democratic lawmaker familiar with the conversations told CNN." . . .

‘A date which will live in infamy’ then and now - American Thinker  . . ."At a time when cowards (to be gentle) are demanding that the U.S. pressure Israel to agree to a ceasefire with their inhumane enemy in Gaza because Gazan civilians are suffering—because Hamas leaders intentionally turned civilian institutions such as hospitals and schools into military bases—this is an important lesson to remember. It is also important to remember that these same cowards (to be gentle) didn’t complain when Gazan leadership invaded and slaughtered Israeli civilians in hospitals, schools, homes, and a music festival.

"As in World War ll, as in the time of the Maccabees (the ancient Jewish leaders), the victory must be complete; the enemy totally defeated. Remade.

"The confluence of these two dates this year is an important reminder that never again is now.  No more dates of “infamy.”

"May the lights of Chanukah brighten and warm your days. And nights."

Stories of torture, torment revealed by Israeli children kidnapped by Hamas terrorists

 Stories of torture, torment revealed by Israeli children kidnapped by Hamas terrorists (foxnews.com)  "JERUSALEM - As more of the Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas during the Oct. 7 terror attack in southern Israel are freed as part of a U.S.-Qatari-Egyptian brokered cease-fire deal, stories of the horrors endured during their 50-plus days in captivity are slowly coming to light.

"'Instead of the usual chatter, crying and laughing typical in pediatric wards, Dr. Yael Mozer Glassberg, a senior physician in the Department of Returned Children at the Schneider Medical Center in Tel Aviv, who is part of the specially assembled team of professionals tasked with treating the returned hostages, told Fox News Digital, "It is very, very quiet here."

"Mozer Glassberg, who usually heads the hospital’s liver transplant unit, said so far, she and her team have worked with 22 of the freed hostages, including 15 children, in a specially created ward.

"I wanted to hope that he would have been treated well there, but apparently not… they’re monsters," said Cohen, adding that Yahalomi’s father, Ohad, is still a hostage.

"Yahalomi’s grandmother, Esther, told Israeli media outlets that "For the first 16 days, he was alone in a closed room."

"Imagine for yourselves what he went through there," she said, adding that he was later put together with a group of other hostages from his kibbutz.

"It was much easier for him there because his caregiver from the kibbutz nursery was there," the grandmother said, describing how he returned thinner and now refuses to smile.

"In another rare testimony, Thomas Hand, the father of 9-year-old Emily Hand, told a media outlet that his daughter, who was freed on Saturday, still speaks in whispers.

"The most shocking thing about meeting Emily was the fact that she spoke in whispers, to the point it was really hard to hear her," the father, a dual Israeli-Irish national, said. "I had to put my ear very close to her mouth to hear…. in captivity she was told not to make any noise and you can see the terror in her eyes." . . .

Israeli police say extreme sexual violence, rape by Hamas terrorists was systematic

At the army base where Israel identifies its dead: ‘They went from house to house burning family after family’

Speaking at Shura, Weisberg described in graphic detail how one badly charred body turned out to be two victims – a mother and a baby bound together in a deep embrace. Another victim, he said, was a pregnant woman, her stomach cut open, her fetus pulled out and beheaded. The umbilical cord was still attached.

Kill 'em all."

 HAMAS BARBARIANS shot Israeli female soldiers in the crotch and breasts as part of ‘systemic genital mutilation’ (barenakedislam.com)   "Some of the female victims of the attack on October 7 were left with agonized looks on their faces in death, according to an Israeli unit that helped bless the bodies. Army reservist Shari Mendes said many bodies of female victims, both civilian and soldiers, arrived ‘in bloody shredded rags or just in underwear." . . .

The Morning Briefing: Leftists Are OK With Rape Because Islamophobia – PJ Media

. . ."The West is now once again faced with the harsh reality that the Islamic terrorists are brutal to women here on Earth while on their way to fake pedo Allah paradise. Well, most of the West. There are people on the American Left who will go to great lengths to prop up an anti-Israel sentiment. Democrats are fearful of people who are fierce about their freedoms. They want everyone to yield to whatever woke-induced violence is visited upon them. The frontline of the pro-Palestinian crowd is found in Academia, of course. Highly-compensated academics are teaching impressionable young people that the Islamic terrorists are not the bad guys."
