On Monday, the one-year anniversary of the horrific Hamas October 7 massacre of more than 1200 Israelis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with a bipartisan delegation of U.S. Senators in his office in Jerusalem.
&#8220;I deeply appreciate the visit by Senators Graham and Blumenthal on this day of commemoration, October 7,&#8221; Netanyahu stated, as reported by <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/397236">Israel National News</a>. &#8220;It was the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust, but unlike the Holocaust, we fight back. We’re fighting like lions with the support of the American government and the American people, and its representatives here. I want to thank you both for your stellar support for Israel throughout the war.&#8221;
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who led the delegation, said, &#8220;The reason people were killed on October 7 was they were Jewish. We’ve seen this movie before. We don’t want to see any more of those movies. Living in their own homeland.&#8221;
&#8220;You said something that really struck me,&#8221; Graham continued, then referred to the roughly 80,000 Israelis forced to evacuate their homes in the north to the thousands of rockets Hezbollah has fired at Israel over the past year. &#8220;No one should be a refugee in their own country. They’re going back to the north, folks. They’re going back to these kibbutzes. Whatever it takes to get your people back in their homes, you do it.&#8221;
Graham then turned to France, whose president, Emanuel Macron, had publicly called for an arms embargo against Israel.  &#8220;To my friends in France, you’ve got this ass backwards,&#8221; Graham declared. &#8220;You should be doubling down on helping Israel, because the people that want to destroy Israel also want to destroy the French people. I get that. He gets that. You’re fighting our fight. We’re going to help you with your military needs.&#8221;
&#8220;As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side, yet President Macron and some other Western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel. Shame on them,&#8221; Netanyahu fired back. &#8220;Is Iran imposing an arms embargo on Hezbollah, on the Houthis, on Hamas, and on its other proxies? Of course not. This axis of terror stands together, but countries who supposedly oppose this terror axis call for an arms embargo on Israel.&#8221;

&#8220;The Twin Towers fell not because of a hurricane, [but] because radical Islamist terrorists killed 3,000 of us on a single day,&#8221; Graham recalled. &#8220;And they would kill all of us if they could. If Iran ever got a nuclear weapon, they would use it. The question would be who would they use it against first. Me? You? Saudi Arabia? We can never let that happen. So we’re going to help you.&#8221;

Vice President Kamala Harris refused to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an ally in an interview set to air on Monday, the anniversary of Hamas&#8217; October 7 massacre inside Israel.
Harris sat down for an interview with CBS News&#8217; &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; and discussed the course of the war in the Middle East over the last year.
Correspondent Bill Whitaker asked Harris if the Biden-Harris administration held &#8220;no sway&#8221; over Netanyahu as the Israeli leader has repeatedly bucked the administration&#8217;s pleas for him to go soft on Islamic terrorist groups throughout the region that attack the state of Israel.
&#8220;The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles that were just meant to attack the Israelis and the people of Israel,&#8221; she said.
She said that the administration supported Israel in defending itself against terror attacks from Iran and its Islamic proxy groups throughout the region.
&#8220;The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles, which include the need for humanitarian aid, the need for this war to end, the need for a deal to be done which would release the hostages and create a ceasefire,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And we&#8217;re not going to stop in terms of putting that pressure on Israel and in the region, including Arab leaders.&#8221;
&#8220;The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,&#8221; she claimed.
When asked point blank if the U.S. had a &#8220;close ally&#8221; in Netanyahu, Harris refused to call him an ally.
&#8220;I think, with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people?&#8221; she said. &#8220;And the answer to that question is yes.&#8221;

Israeli Prime Minister <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/benjamin-netanyahu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benjamin Netanyahu</a> responded to Iran&#8217;s ballistic missile attack on Tuesday night by saying that they would pay dearly for their actions.
Netanyahu&#8217;s words, delivered to the Israeli people in Hebrew, came after Iran fired approximately 180 ballistic missiles into Israel, most of which were shot down or landed in areas where they caused minimal damage.
&#8220;This evening, Iran made a big mistake – and it will pay for it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The regime in Tehran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and to exact a price from our enemies.&#8221;
Israel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israel-u-s-vow-significant-response-severe-consequences-for-iran-after-missile-attack" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vowed</a> that there would be a &#8220;significant response&#8221; to Iran and the U.S. said that Iran&#8217;s attack was result in &#8220;severe consequences&#8221; for the Islamic regime.
The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israel-to-destroy-irans-nuclear-facilities-or-oil-facilities-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Israel warned Iran before the attack that if any of its missiles landed inside Israeli territory — regardless of whether they caused damage or there were any casualties — that it would respond by either destroying Iran&#8217;s oil facilities or its nuclear program.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
Netanyahu said that Israel&#8217;s enemies seriously underestimated the lengths to which it would go to defend its people, something he said that numerous top Hezbollah and Hamas leaders did not understand before Israel terminated them from the battlefield.
&#8220;Apparently, there are those in Tehran who do not understand this either,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They will.&#8221;
&#8220;We will keep to the rule we have determined: Whoever attacks us – we attack them,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;This is true wherever we fight the axis of evil. It is true in Judea and Samaria. It is true in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria – and it is also true in Iran. We are fighting the axis of evil everywhere, including in southern Lebanon and Gaza, where our heroic soldiers are active.&#8221;
He called on the world to unite to defeat the Islamic regime in Iran, which is the world&#8217;s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people in a speech on Monday in which he indicated that Israel would respond if attacked by Iran.
In the speech, Netanyahu said that the Islamic regime would not be around much longer.
“When Iran is finally free, and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think – everything will be different,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netanyahu-iran-will-be-free-from-islamic-regime-a-lot-sooner-than-people-think">said</a>.

Netanyahu Hints At Israeli Response To Iranian Missile Attack

Far leftist Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) posted a harsh criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday morning as reports surfaced of Iran launching a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-iran-fires-100-ballistic-missiles-at-israel?topStoryPosition=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">massive missile attack</a> on Israel.
Pressley blamed Netanyahu and the Israeli military for &#8220;escalating violence&#8221; in the Middle East and claimed that Israel&#8217;s actions have &#8220;incit[ed] a regional war.&#8221; The Democrat posted the criticism of Israel as Iran fired approximately 200 missiles at the U.S. ally.
&#8220;Netanyahu’s invasion of Lebanon is putting millions of people at risk, forcing thousands to be displaced, and inciting a regional war,&#8221; she <a href="https://x.com/RepPressley/status/1841155189685850592" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;The escalating violence must end. In Lebanon, in Gaza, and across the region.&#8221;
Iran&#8217;s missile attack on Israel placed almost the entire country under red alerts as civilians were told to take cover in bomb shelters. Videos posted to social media showed missiles hitting the ground while many of them were intercepted by Israel&#8217;s &#8220;Iron Dome&#8221; defense system.

Israel has responded by taking out much of Hamas&#8217; and Hezbollah&#8217;s leadership while also targeting other Iranian-backed terrorists in Yemen and Lebanon.
Most of the responses to Pressley&#8217;s X post slammed the Democrat congresswoman for condemning Israel as it was under attack.

'Squad' Member Condemns Israel For 'Escalating Violence' As Iranian Missiles Rain Down On Country

Middle East

Israel just reshaped the entire politics of the Middle East.
Hezbollah, a massive Lebanese terrorist group that is really an Iranian proxy group, is a party in the Lebanese government. It has been named as a State Department-designated terror organization as well as an Arab League-designated terrorist organization. Lebanon has been turned into a chaotic hellhole by Iranian and Syrian intervention in the state, and Hezbollah is a major part of the government there.
In 2000, Israel pulled out of southern Lebanon, which had been used by the Palestine Liberation Organization and Hezbollah as a launching point for terror attacks on Israel. Israel did not want to police that area of Lebanon after having fought to keep a buffer zone in southern Lebanon to make sure southern Lebanon was not used as a launching off point.
So in 2000, Israel completely withdrew in the same way they withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005. It turns out that unilateral Israeli withdrawals tend to be stupid and not work well.
In 2006, there was a fairly major war, a roughly five-week war, between the Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon and the Israelis. The Israelis pounded southern Lebanon pretty hard. That war was concluded with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which called for a demilitarization of southern Lebanon from Hezbollah to be guaranteed by UNIFIL, a U.N. sponsored set of fake troops.
Immediately upon Israel withdrawing again, that entire area was taken over by Hezbollah, armed to the teeth.
Thus, the widespread perception in the aftermath of October 7 was that the greater military threat to Israel was not Hamas in the south, but Hezbollah in the north which was reportedly armed with up to 200,000 rockets. They also had sophisticated weaponry capable of hitting towers in Tel Aviv.
Throughout the war they were fighting with Hamas, Israel had to contend with the possibility of Hezbollah getting in, a risk which would put Israel in the middle of a two-front war.
As it turned out, because of the Biden-Harris administration&#8217;s pressure on Israel and the fact that Biden-Harris drew so many stupid ideas from the Obama administration about the Middle East, Israel doesn&#8217;t just face a one-front war in the south, or a two-front war in the north and the south. Instead, they essentially face a seven-front war, which includes the Iranian-sponsored Houthis in Yemen, the Iraqi-Iranian sponsored terror groups in Iraq, the Iranian-sponsored terror groups in Syria, direct Iranian attacks from Iran, and attacks from the West Bank sponsored by Iran.
Basically, Iran motivated all of its proxies on October 7 and beyond to attack Israel in the hopes of sinking any sort of nascent peace deal between Israel and the Sunni Gulf Arab world. That was what they were trying to forestall. They were hoping that by initiating a conflict, a broader Muslim versus Jew conflict would arise as opposed to a Shia versus Israel/Sunni conflict, which is the way the Middle East was breaking down.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2058-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
The Abraham Accords were largely about Israel and the Sunni Gulf Arabs deciding that Iran was a greater threat, and they were going to get together, develop together, shake hands, and move into the future together in opposition to the ayatollahs in Iran.
Iran could see what was being fostered. So they attempted to initiate a Muslim versus Jew war on October 7, part of which was Hezbollah’s activation in the south of Lebanon to shoot rockets into Israel.
Then for approximately 11 months, Hezbollah shot rockets into Israel. Between 8,000 and 10,000 rockets were fired into northern Israel forcing Israel to evacuate large swathes of its north. Some 70,000 to 100,000 Israelis are not living in their homes and have not for nearly a year at this point.
A couple of weeks ago, Israel decided it had enough — that enough was enough. So Israel initiated what people are calling Operation Grim Beeper, the single most hilarious and effective anti-terror operation in history.
15 years ago Israel founded a fake beeper company. The Mossad did this. They knew Hassan Nasrallah, who was the evil terrorist head of Hezbollah, would eventually realize all of his communications were being hacked, and he would move to older methods of communications like beepers. Hezbollah was afraid that if they used iPhones, Israel would hack the iPhones and monitor all their communications, so they started using beepers in about February or March of this year.
Israel blew up all the beepers simultaneously a couple of weeks ago, thereby not only handicapping thousands of Hezbollah terrorists, but also destroying their entire method of communication. They then followed that up by bombing all of their walkie talkies when they moved from the beepers to their secondary mode of communication.
It turns out, they bought those from the Israelis also.
Hezbollah’s methods of communication were gone. Their top infrastructure was largely damaged, and they didn&#8217;t really have the ability to do anything because Israel had such great intelligence penetration into Lebanon that it was simultaneously launching some 1,600 air assaults over the course of 36 hours, destroying about half of Hezbollah&#8217;s long range of weaponry.
The mark of a first-world country, the mark of a proper military, is not that you never get surprised. The mark of a proper country is that if you do get surprised and you get hurt, you hit back so hard that the people who hit you no longer exist, nor do any of their friends.
The mark of America being a first-world country was when we got hit at Pearl Harbor, we then proceeded to launch two of the most destructive assaults on our enemies in world history, on the Japanese and on the Germans. The mark of the power of the United States is that after September 11, we took down two countries. These are marks of actual power.
Israel got hit on October 7 in a massive disaster, the worst intelligence and human disaster in the history of the state of Israel.
They then proceeded to completely root out Hamas. But they had the Hezbollah threat in the north. And that threat in the north had been used by Hamas as a rationale for not surrendering the hostages because they were hoping that if it came down to it, Hezbollah would get full-scale in the war, and the intimidation factor of Hezbollah in the north would force Israel to make concessions to Hamas, including leaving them in power in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has now completely taken that off the table because not only did they wreck Hezbollah&#8217;s foreign operating power, they took two of Iran’s proxies off the board: Hamas and Hezbollah.
And that was before what happened on Friday.
As for Iran itself, Iran does not actually have the forward operating capacity in the absence of its proxies to attack Israel in any sort of serious or sophisticated way.
Earlier this year, Iran tried to launch an attack on Israel. They fired 300 cruise missiles and drones at Israel, and about half of them fell into Iran and the rest of them were shot down by Israel and its Western allies, including Jordan and some from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia also shot down some simultaneously-fired missiles from the Houthis.
So what does that mean? It means that Iran has basically demonstrated it is a paper tiger. Iran needed to be viewed as something exceptionally scary in the region because that was the only rationale for Israel and the allies not taking out its nuclear program. Only if Iran was scary did Iran get to continue to bargain with the United States and the West — and have the United States and the West under people like Barack Obama and Joe Biden sign them billions of dollars of checks because they&#8217;re so scary.
Israel has been pursuing the single most effective military operation in modern history. Israel has lost zero soldiers in Lebanon so far. Zero. And they have proceeded to take out virtually all of Hezbollah&#8217;s long-range military capacity and their entire leadership structure. All of it.
On Friday, Hezbollah&#8217;s leader was killed by Israel. Hassan Nasrallah took over Hezbollah in the early 1990s, happened to be a genocidal Jew-hater, a Christian-hater, and the leader of a group that is responsible for hundreds of American deaths and the deaths of tens of thousands of Syrian Muslims who are siding against the Assad regime. 
The Sunni Gulf state Arab nations are ecstatic about what Israel is doing right now. Israel is wrecking all of their enemies. Everybody in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Morocco, and Egypt — although the Egyptians are never going to let this out of the bag, but this is the reality. 
All of the same people that Israel is wrecking right now are enemies of the Sunni Gulf states. The Houthis fired a cruise missile at Tel Aviv after the killing of Nasrallah. Israel waited three or four days and then they blew up a couple of ports.  While the Biden administration is sitting with its thumb in its mouth while the Houthis attack shipping in the Red Sea, the Israelis flew a thousand miles to blow up ports.
Israel is reshaping the entire region. It&#8217;s an astonishing move. Not only have they taken Hamas off the board as a workable piece in the Iranian proxy war, but they have also now effectively castrated Hezbollah as a serious forward operating base for Iran.
This leaves Iran, which is not capable of doing serious damage to Israel if their assault earlier in the year was any indication. Israel is significantly more capable of doing serious damage to Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities and oil fields than Iran is capable of doing the other way around.
<h3><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a></h3>
And Israel is doing this while the United States, the most powerful military force on planet Earth by leaps and bounds, is allowing a ragtag bunch of terrorists funded by Iran to fire on shipping in the Red Sea with near impunity, to fire at American ships without serious retaliation, and to kill Americans. 
One of the reasons Israel can penetrate into places like Lebanon and Iran, where they killed Ismail Haniyeh, the political head of Hamas, is because there are so many people in these places who hate these regimes.
There are a lot of people in Lebanon who hated Hassan Nasrallah. Syrians were handing out candies in the streets after hearing about his death. When it comes to Iran, the people of Iran don&#8217;t like the regime. It&#8217;s just the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the world&#8217;s largest terrorist organization, which is in charge of this terror regime, and now Ayatollah Khamenei has reportedly gone into hiding.
Israel is showing the power of strength right now. And the Sunni Gulf states are going to sign back on because here&#8217;s what they see: They see that Israel is the future. They see an alliance with Israel is the future. They see that Iran is the past.
And despite the fact that the Biden administration has blown it six ways from Sunday — despite the leash being held by the Biden administration, the slow-walking of aid, the soft arms embargo, the Joe Biden idiotic midnight phone calls telling Israel not to go into Rafah, telling Israel not to go take the win with regard to Iran — Israel has said, no, we are going to protect ourselves.
That is smart and that is good. It means a better Middle East for the United States. It means a Middle East with a series of allies who are stronger than American enemies.
Iran hates the United States. They chant, “Death to America.” Hezbollah chants, “Death to America.” The Houthis’ slogan is, “Death to America, Death to the Jews.”
Strengthening the alliance against those enemies would be the smart move. But Biden, because he is a moron, has not done that. The Financial Times reported that in the days after October 7, Israeli warplanes took off with instructions to kill Nasrallah, and Biden got on the phone demanding Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu not do it.
So what did the Israelis do this time? They said we&#8217;re not calling.
There&#8217;s no more Mr. Nice Zionist over there.
And that means the world will be a safer and better place.

Opinion

Syria

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday in a special address to the people of Iran this week that they will soon be free from the country&#8217;s oppressive Islamic regime.
Netanyahu&#8217;s remarks come after Israel has devastated Iran&#8217;s top terror proxy group, Hezbollah, in southern Lebanon over the last two weeks, including killing the group&#8217;s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in a targeted strike on Friday.
&#8220;I speak a lot about the leaders of Iran. Yet at this pivotal moment, I want to address you – the people of Iran,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Every day, you see a regime that subjugates you, make fiery speeches about defending Lebanon, defending Gaza. Yet every day, that regime plunges our region deeper into darkness and deeper into war.&#8221;
He noted that Israel has eliminated the top leaders of Iran&#8217;s terrorist proxy groups throughout the region.
&#8220;There is nowhere in the Middle East Israel cannot reach,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There is nowhere we will not go to protect our people and protect our country.&#8221;
He said that if the Islamic regime really cared about the people, it would stop wasting billions of dollars funding terrorism around the world and would instead focus on improving their lives.

&#8220;When Iran is finally free, and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think – everything will be different,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Our two ancient peoples, the Jewish people and the Persian people, will finally be at peace.&#8221;
&#8220;When that day comes, the terror network that the regime built in five continents will be bankrupt, dismantled,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Iran will thrive as never before. Global investment. Massive tourism. Brilliant technological innovation based on the tremendous talents that exist inside Iran. Doesn’t that sound better than endless poverty, repression, and war?&#8221;
He said that the people, their children, and the world deserves better than having to live under an Iranian terrorist regime that supports &#8220;the rapists and murderers of Hamas and Hezbollah.&#8221;

Netanyahu: Iran Will Be Free From Islamic Regime ‘A Lot Sooner Than People Think’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel was winning the battle against its enemies and tore into the United Nations General Assembly in a Friday speech, accusing the body of being a “house of darkness.”
Netanyahu began his speech by stating that he did not intend to come to the UN this year, but changed his mind because he felt Israel was being slandered.
“I decided to come here to speak for my people, to speak for my country, to speak for the truth,” Netanyahu said. “And here is the truth: Israel seeks peace. Israel yearns for peace. Israel has made peace, and will make peace again.”
“And I have another message for this assembly and for the world outside this hall: We are winning.”
Netanyahu also slammed the UN for its long-standing bias against Israel, which he said has gone into overdrive since October 7. 
Calling the UN a “house of darkness” and “a swamp of anti-Semitic bile,” Netanyahu pointed out that there have been more anti-Israel resolutions passed against Israel in the UN than the entire world combined. 
“What hypocrisy, what a double standard, what a joke,” Netanyahu said. 
“It’s not about Gaza … it&#8217;s always been about Israel. &#8230; The UN will be viewed by fair-minded people everywhere as nothing more than a contemptuous farce.”
“So all the speeches you heard today, all the hostility directed at Israel this year, not about Gaza. It&#8217;s about Israel. It&#8217;s always been about Israel, about Israel&#8217;s very existence.”
Netanyahu referenced the story of Moses, wherein the ancient Jewish leader said to the Israelites that the actions they choose will determine if they bless or curse future generations.
“That is the choice we face today: The curse of Iran&#8217;s unremitting aggression, or the blessing of a historic reconciliation between Arab and Jew.”
Netanyahu unveiled a “map of a blessing,” showing the potential for Israel and Arab partners to form a land bridge to connect Europe and Asia with rail lines, energy pipelines, and fiber optic cables. 
Showing a second map “of a curse,” Netanyahu highlighted Iranian influence in the region. 
“Iran&#8217;s malignant arc has shut down international waterways. It cuts off trade. It destroys nations from within and inflicts misery on millions.” he said, adding that Iran’s aggression endangers every other country in the Middle East.

“Which of these two maps that I showed you will shape our future?” Netanyahu asked. “Will it be the blessings of peace and prosperity for Israel, our Arab partners, and the rest of the world? Or will it be the curse in which Iran and its proxy spread carnage and chaos everywhere?”
Netanyahu called on the UN Security Council to place sanctions on Iran to help ensure that Iran never gets nuclear weapons.
“Our actions delayed this program by perhaps a decade, but we haven&#8217;t stopped it,” Netanyahu said. “For the sake of the peace and security of the entire world, we must not let that happen and I assure you, Israel will do everything in its power to make sure it doesn&#8217;t happen.”
Netanyahu retold the story of Hamas’ deadly October 7 massacre, where terrorists murdered, raped, and kidnapped Israeli civilians. 
The prime minister laid the blame for the attacks on Iran, which has funded the terrorist groups attacking Israel, including the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah. He mentioned Iran’s direct attack on Israel in April. 
“I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran: If you strike us, we will strike you,” he said. “There is no place in Iran that the long arm of Israel cannot reach and that&#8217;s true of the entire Middle East.”
Netanyahu announced its successful crippling of Hamas, which previously had 40,000 terrorists, with 15,000 rockets and 350 miles of tunnels.
“A year later, the IDF has killed or captured more than half of these terrorists, destroyed over 90% of their rocket arsenal, and eliminated the key segments of their terror tunnel network. In major military operations, we destroyed nearly all of Hamas&#8217;s terror battalions.”
To complete Israel’s victory, Netanyahu said the focus is “‘mopping up” the remaining terror group’s capabilities and returning the remaining hostages home.
Netanyahu advocated for the release of the remaining 101 hostages in Gaza, wearing a yellow ribbon pin representing those held in captivity.
&#8220;We will return your loved ones home,” He said to the families. “We will not spare that effort until this holy mission is accomplished.” 
The prime minister brought several relatives of Israelis held hostage by Hamas to the speech. Among his guests were Eli Shtivi, whose son Idan was kidnapped from the Supernova festival, and Kobi Samerano whose son Yonatan’s body is held hostage.
Other guests included Salem Alatrash, whose Arab-Israeli soldier brother Mohammad was murdered and had his body taken hostage, and Yifat Haiman, whose 27-year-old daughter Inbar was murdered after being taken hostage at the festival. Sharon Sharabi, the sister of hostages Yossi and Eli, and Yizhar Lifschitz, whose 83-year-old father Oded who was taken from Kibbutz Nir Oz with his wife — who was freed in November— were also in attendance.
Netanyahu said Hamas still exercises governing power by stealing humanitarian food brought into Gaza and selling it to make a profit. 
“If Hamas stays in power, it will regroup, rearm, and attack Israel again and again and again as it is vowed to do so,” he said. “Hamas has got to go.”
Netanyahu said Israel will reject any deal where Hamas is allowed to rule, adding that Israel does not have intentions of Israelis resettling Gaza. He said the chief goal is to deradicalize Gaza.
“This war can come to an end now, all that has to happen is for Hamas to surrender, lay down its arms, and release the hostages but if they don’t we will fight until we achieve victory — total victory— there is no substitute for it.”
Netanyahu said Israel is determined to defeat Hezbollah in Lebanon, saying that the terror group has murdered more Americans and French men “than any group except Bin Laden.”
He pointed out that Hezbollah joined the fight against Israel the day after October 7, “completely unprovoked.”
Netanyahu accused Hezbollah of turning vibrant northern communities into “ghost towns” through its near-daily rocket attacks, which have forced 60,000 Israelis from their homes in the north.
“Israel has been tolerating this intolerable situation for nearly a year,” the Jewish state’s leader said. “Well, I&#8217;ve come here today to say enough is enough. We won&#8217;t rest until our citizens can return safely to their homes.”
He pointed out that Hezbollah has been violating UN Security Council Resolution 1701 which requires it to not have forces south of the Litani river, something it has done for nearly 20 years. 
Netanyahu said Israel is not at war with Lebanon, but with Hezbollah, which has “hijacked” the country.
Turning to building peace with neighbors, Netanyahu said he hopes to achieve a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia, as he has already done with other Gulf countries through the Abraham Accords. 
“What blessings such a peace with Saudi Arabia would bring,” Netanyahu said. “It would be a boon to the security and economy of our two countries. It would boost trade and tourism across the region. It would help transform the Middle East into a global juggernaut. Our two countries could cooperate on energy, water, agriculture, artificial intelligence, and many, many other fields.”
He added that the best way to disturb Iran&#8217;s “nefarious designs&#8221; is to achieve &#8220;such a peace&#8221; that could be brokered with the help of the United States.
Representatives of Saudi Arabia and Iran were not present during Netanyahu’s speech.
Netanyahu <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netanyahu-praises-u-s-israel-bond-proposes-abraham-alliance-to-defeat-iran-hamas-terror">addressed a joint session</a> of Congress in July where he proposed an “Abrahamic Alliance” to expand upon the Abraham Accords and combat Iran and its proxies.
He said Israel will win its current battles because the country does not have a choice.
“After generations in which our people were slaughtered, remorselessly butchered and no one raised a finger in our defense, we now have a state. We now have a brave army — an army of incomparable courage and we are defending ourselves.”
“Am Yisrael Chai, the people of Israel live, now, tomorrow, forever,” he concluded.
Israel launched <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/whats-behind-israels-attack-on-hezbollah-experts-weigh-in">Operation Northern Arrows</a> this week to take on Hezbollah and ensure that Israelis can return to their homes after 11 months of displacement.
The IDF has so far struck over 2,000 Hezbollah targets during its operation, including several civilian homes that doubled as rocket storage and launch sites, according to IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari.
The Biden administration pushed for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah this week. Netanyahu’s office expressed gratitude for the efforts, but continued with its operation, reiterating its goal of returning its citizens to their homes in the north.
Israel secured $8.7 billion in U.S. aid for its ongoing military efforts, including  $3.5 billion for essential wartime procurement and $5.2 billion for its air defense systems, Netanyahu’s office announced Thursday.

Anti-Israel Protests In NYC Descend Into Chaos Ahead Of Netanyahu UN Speech

After the reported second attempted assassination of former President Trump on Sunday, most of the world’s leaders remained silent, but three spoke out and mentioned Trump’s name: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Referring to his wife Sara, Netanyahu, whose close relationship with the most supportive American president Israel has ever known was clear during Trump’s tenure, stated on X, “Sara and I were shocked by the second assassination attempt against President Trump and were relieved to hear that it too failed. But we should not rely on luck. We send our best wishes to Donald and Melania along with our hopes that all measures will be taken to ensure that such deadly attacks on a candidate for the US presidency will be foiled in advance.”

When Netanyahu spoke before Congress in July, only days after the first assassination attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, he stated:
<blockquote>
I want to thank President Trump for his leadership in brokering the historic Abraham Accords. Like Americans, Israelis were relieved that President Trump emerged safe and sound from that dastardly attack on him, dastardly attack on American democracy. There is no room for political violence in democracies. I also want to thank President Trump for all the things he did for Israel, from recognizing Israel&#8217;s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, to confronting Iran&#8217;s aggression, to recognizing Jerusalem as our capital and moving the American embassy there. That&#8217;s Jerusalem, our eternal capital, never to be divided again.

In July, Orban <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/08/orban-trump-biden-election-00166745" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> of Trump, “He is the man of peace.

After President Joe Biden — who has undermined Israel’s war against Hamas by slow-walking military aid and warning Israel not to enter territories where Hamas strongholds existed — responded to Hamas’ brutal point-blank execution of six Israeli hostages by criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not making enough concessions, Netanyahu fired back.
After news of the executions was reported, Biden was asked by a reporter, &#8220;Do you think it&#8217;s time Prime Minister Netanyahu to do more on this issue, do you think he&#8217;s doing enough?&#8221;
&#8220;No,&#8221; Biden replied.
Netanyahu was clearly angered by the response.
“What has changed in the last five days?” he declared. “What has changed? One thing. These murderers executed six of our hostages. They shot them in the back of the head. That’s what’s changed. And now, after this, we’re asked to show ‘seriousness?’ We’re asked to make concessions? What message does this send Hamas? It says, ‘Kill more hostages. Murder more hostages. You’ll get more concessions.’”
“The pressure internationally must be directed at these killers,” he asserted. “At Hamas. Not at Israel. We say ‘yes,’ they say ‘no’ all the time but they also murdered these people. And now we need maximum pressure on Hamas.”
“I don’t believe that either President Biden or anyone serious about achieving peace and achieving the release would seriously ask Israel — Israel — to make these concessions. We’ve already made them. Hamas has to make the concessions,” he stated.

In an obvious attempt to curry favor with supporters of Israel disillusioned with the Biden-Harris abandonment of support for the Jewish state, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-terrorism-charges-against-senior-leaders-hamas">announced</a> on Tuesday they declared six leaders of Hamas as terrorists, three of whom are already dead. The fig-leaf action rings hollow in the face of the administration’s unceasing criticism of the Israeli government and lack of support for the war effort.
In June, Tennessee GOP senator Bill Hagerty slammed the Biden administration from withholding arms to Israel that had been approved by Congress, snapping they should “get out of Israel’s way.”
“The norm is for the Executive Branch to submit formal notifications to Congress roughly 48-72 hours after committees informally cleared proposed arms sales,” he stated. “But the Biden Admin is violating this norm amid Israel’s multi-front war. It’s shocking what @POTUS @JoeBiden  is doing to Israel as our ally faces its darkest hour. As SFRC ranking member @SenatorRisch  put it, it’s time for the Biden Administration to get out of Israel’s way &amp; let it defeat these Iran-backed terrorists!”
Senator Jim Risch (R-ID), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/391751">said</a>:
<blockquote>
The Biden Administration continues to try and have it both ways by claiming credit for security assistance to Israel that it has not provided. Meanwhile, those of us in Congress with jurisdiction over weapons sales have done our jobs and approved two separate tranches of arms transfers to Israel for formal notification to Congress, to include ammunition, vehicles to protect Israeli soldiers, and nearly $20B in F-15 aircraft. It is past time the administration move to formally notify the F-15 and ammunition sales and remove its existing hold on precision guided munitions. Micromanagement of Israel’s war on terror must end – let’s get out of the way.
</blockquote>
“The implications of the Biden Administration’s conditional support for our closest ally in the Middle East are not lost on Hezbollah as its attacks from Lebanon increase in intensity and scale,” Risch continued. “Hamas continues to drive a wedge between the United States and Israel and isolate Israel from the international community. By signaling to terrorists that American support for Israel is conditional, we encourage Hamas to protract the war in Gaza, furthering risk to civilians, and incentivize Hezbollah to continue its attacks on Israel from the North. The Biden Administration’s fecklessness now courts a two-front war – the consequences of which would be disastrous for both Israel’s security and America’s standing in the world as a reliable partner.”
As Newsweek <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-rafah-questions-israel-hostage-murders-1947338">reported</a>:
<blockquote>
When Israel was looking to invade Rafah earlier this year, saying it was a stronghold of Hamas militants and a haven for hostage takers, it encountered fierce opposition in the White House. In March, Biden told <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/msnbc" data-sys="1">MSNBC</a>&#8216;s Jonathan Capehart that a major Israeli operation in Rafah would be a &#8220;red line&#8221; for him, and the president suggested that the move could lead to a cut-off of some offensive weapons. Harris told <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/topic/abc" data-sys="1">ABC</a> News in March, &#8220;We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake. Let me tell you something, I have been studying the maps.&#8221; She also said that she would not rule out &#8220;consequences&#8221; if Israel pushed forward.

After Hamas Executed 6 Hostages, Biden Slammed Bibi. Bibi Fires Back.

Joe Biden

Over the weekend, we got absolutely horrifying news: Six Israeli hostages, including one Israeli-American whose parents spoke at the Democratic National Convention, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-israeli-hersh-goldberg-polin-among-six-dead-hostages-recovered-by-israeli-forces-in-rafah">were executed</a> by the terrorist group Hamas.
It&#8217;s not just that the bodies of the hostages were found; it&#8217;s how they were found. You&#8217;ll recall that last week Israel freed a Bedouin Muslim Israeli citizen who was found in one of the terror tunnels. At just about that time, Hamas terrorists shot to death those six hostages, who had been held in captivity since October 7, over 300 days ago.
They were held in darkness, in captivity, in conditions of torture. And then they were shot point-blank in the back of the head.
The absolute horror of that — keeping these six hostages alive for over 300 days and then shooting them point-blank in the back of the head — underscores how deeply evil Hamas is.
It&#8217;s easy to forget how evil Hamas is because October 7 was almost a year ago. Everyone was shocked by the murderous, rape-filled rampage Hamas did that day — the taking of hostages, including babies who are still being held hostage right now the rampant executions and rape.
The entire situation turned into war because the Israeli Defense Force went into Gaza in order to dismantle Hamas, in order to destroy their infrastructure, in order to take over the Philadelphi Corridor (which is the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip), in order to take over the Netzarim Corridor, which runs across the middle of the Gaza Strip, and establish military control.
A lot of talk turned to how Israel was prosecuting the war. Could they do it faster? Could they do it quickly? Could they do it more humanely? 
Meanwhile, everyone ignored just how evil Hamas is.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2039-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
And then they executed the six hostages with a bullet to the head. And that reminded people that these are human monsters who are willing to hold hostages for over 300 days and then shoot them point-blank in the head to prevent them from being liberated. The IDF got close to rescuing the hostages and now Hamas is boasting that they murdered the hostages because the IDF <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/hamas-hints-6-slain-hostages-extracted-by-idf-from-gaza-over-weekend-were-murdered-because-troops-were-near/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was getting close</a>.
This is what Hamas does. This is why Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas who is hiding underground right now, has surrounded himself, according to reports, by upward of 20 hostages, presumably including women and children, hoping that Israel will leave him alone because otherwise he&#8217;s going to threaten to shoot the women and shoot the children.
After the hostages were executed, Hamas, just to add insult to injury, decided that they were going to release hostage videos of the six people they murdered. And they are heartbreaking.
There has been contemporaneous documentation found in the terror tunnels in which Hamas explains what they are attempting to do; to be so brutal and so vicious and so evil that it creates serious political schisms within Israeli society.
As Netanyahu has pointed out, on one side you have a free democracy that is allied with the West and on the other side you have the world&#8217;s worst terror group. But somehow the West has found a unique way to decide that that the terror group deserves compassion, deserves concession, deserves some level of recognition and decency, when in reality, every member of Hamas up to and including the leadership, deserves nothing but death because that is what they have brought upon themselves through their violation of basic human norms and standards of basic human decency.
The notion from the West that Israel is the one that needs to be pressed to make concessions to the terrorists is totally insane and speaks to an ulterior political motive on the part of Americans and Britons who are pushing this sort of nonsense.
The reality is the only way to win a war is to actually win the war. The reason the West has not won a major war since World War II is because it has forgotten that basic notion — that the way to win a war is to win the war. When the West wins, it&#8217;s not because there is some sort of peace agreement that is signed, it&#8217;s because its enemies are utterly defeated.
The fact that the West is even considering leaving Hamas in place or creating a “Palestinian state,” which would immediately be run and staffed by the very same people who are currently holding hostages along with their best friends in the Palestinian Authority and Islamic Jihad, is totally insane.
The narrative you&#8217;re hearing from the Biden-Harris administration is that Netanyahu has made no concessions to Hamas.
There are actions that the United States could have taken to bring pressure on Hamas. Joe Biden has done virtually none of them. All of it derives from the leftist narrative that there is some sort of moral equivalence or parity in all human relations, which means that when someone is evil — the more you believe in moral relativism, if you believe that it&#8217;s just a matter of perspective — then what that means is that the more evil you are, the more there must be a justification to your evil, because otherwise you wouldn&#8217;t be evil.
If you are a moral relativist, the way that the Left is when it comes to these matters, then your belief is the more evilly you behave, the more you have been victimized. The victim/victimizer matrix is undefeated in terms of stupidity and immorality.
Take a look at the headlines from the legacy media over the murder of the six hostages. <a href="https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1830297753185898620" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>: “Israeli-American hostage has died.”
“Has died?” Did he die of old age? Is that what happened? Was it cancer?
Here&#8217;s what actually happened to Hersh Goldberg-Polin. On October 7, he was at the Nova Festival. He had his arm blown off by Hamas. They then sawed off his arm. They kept him alive for 300 days and then they shot him point-blank in the head.
<a href="https://x.com/simonmontefiore/status/1830238735860150742" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC</a>: “Israel says bodies of six Gaza hostages recovered.”
What happened to them? Is that irrelevant?
<a href="https://x.com/simonmontefiore/status/1830238735860150742" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sky News</a>: “Israeli hostages confirmed dead after Army finds six bodies in Gaza.”
Imagine for a moment you&#8217;re at a music festival. You are taken hostage by the world&#8217;s worst vicious human beings. You are held alive underground for 300 days with the shred of hope that maybe the IDF would find you. And then as the IDF comes close, Hamas puts you down and they shoot you in the back of the head.
But the headline from the legacy media is they somehow just randomly died, as if they died in a car accident.
Joe Biden&#8217;s initial response to the six hostages being murdered? “Earlier today, in a tunnel under the city of Rafah, Israeli forces recovered six bodies of hostages held by Hamas.”
That’s rich, coming from him, because Israeli troops would have been in Rafah in February or March if it had not been for the Biden administration, which withheld munitions from the Israelis to prevent them from doing operations in Rafah.
Israel kept saying they needed to go into Rafah to go get the hostages and to extirpate Hamas. Meanwhile, Biden warned that a major Israeli operation in Rafah was a “red line” that could cause him to cancel arms to support Israel. In March Harris <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/week-transcript-3-24-24-sen-marco-rubio/story?id=108441678" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake,” adding that there would be “consequences” if Israel went into Rafah, as National Review <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/kamala-harris-warned-israel-of-consequences-if-it-invaded-rafah-where-hamas-just-murdered-an-american-hostage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a>. 
The reason Hamas did not want Israel to go into Rafah was because it is a Hamas stronghold. They did not want Israel to shut down the terror tunnels to Egypt. They did not want Israel to find hostages and free them.
Biden, because he&#8217;s a cretin both intellectually and morally, was asked on Monday — as he made his way back after 17 days of vacation being a useless moldering corpse at the beach —  about the so-called cease-fire deal. He was asked if it was “&#8230;time for Prime Minister Netanyahu to do more on this issue? Do you think he’s doing enough?
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-blames-israels-netanyahu-for-stalled-hostage-negotiations-after-american-killed-by-hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden declared</a>, “No.”
Every shred of blood is on Hamas&#8217;s hands. They just executed hostages. And Biden’s first response was that Netanyahu needs to do more?
Does he understand what kind of damage he just did? 
Not likely, he’s a dangerously immoral moron.
When terrorists shoot hostages and your first move is to put pressure on the nation whose hostages were taken, you are telling the terrorists to keep shooting hostages.
Biden and Harris are repellent, disgusting people.

President Biden Returns To White House From Delaware

Execute Hostages, Win A Prize From Biden-Harris!

Hostages

The Israeli Left, intent on finding a way to topple Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government, tried to implement a labor strike that would have crippled the country while it is at war with the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah and suffered a disastrous defeat.
Histadrut chairman Arnon Bar-David had called for a strike to start on Sunday, ostensibly because he argued that the government was not doing enough to bring hostages back  — a spurious claim as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has conducted successful operations to rescue hostages and Netanyahu has repeatedly accepted cease-fire proposals which Hamas has always rejected — but in reality was an attempt to bring the right-wing government down.
But Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, with the consent of Netanyahu, filed an injunction with Israel’s labor court to block the strike. The Gvura Forum, which represents family members of fallen soldiers, filed a similar injunction.

“The court ruled soon after hearing the case that since the strike was &#8216;a protest&#8217; by nature and not related to workers’ rights, it needed to have been coordinated in advance and lasted for a limited period of a few hours,” the Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-817363">reported</a>. “The strike was announced less than 12 hours prior to its start and was not limited, and was therefore illegal, the court ruled. The court added that the ruling was only relevant to the Histadrut and that other unions as well as business forums were not included.”
“The days where someone harnesses the power of organized work to advance political interests” were over, “especially during a war and when it serves the interests of Hamas and [its leader Yahya] Sinwar.”
“A large number of municipalities and regional councils did not join Monday&#8217;s strike,” Israel National News <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/395592">noted</a>.
&#8220;Bar David&#8217;s political strike failed. We came to cry the cry of the nation and to tell Bar David: &#8216;You failed! Go home! We will not allow you to cause any more harm to civilians whose only sin is that they think differently than you. It inspires respect to see that most of the municipal leaders opposed your recklessness. The people of Israel will not agree to accept dictators in the Histadrut!'&#8221; Im Tirtzu chairman Shay Rosengarten stated.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak leads opposition to Netanyahu’s government. Barak has demonstrated his contempt for Israel’s most sacred places before and the Jewish connection to the land of Israel for decades; in June, the Israel State Archives released material that revealed that during the 2000 negotiations with terrorist Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, Barak was ready to give up Israeli sovereignty over parts of the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, the holiest place in Judaism.

“At the Camp David talks five months earlier, Barak had already offered the Palestinian Authority control over territories that went far beyond what most Israeli military strategists believed the nation could give up and still retain defensible borders,” the Jewish News Syndicate <a href="https://www.jns.org/jns/israel/23/7/19/303916/">noted</a>, adding that U.S. envoy Dennis Ross admitted, “Barak’s government … formally accepted ideas that would effectively divide East Jerusalem, end the IDF’s presence in the Jordan Valley, and produce a Palestinian state in roughly 97 percent of the West Bank [as well as all of Gaza].”
In January. Barak co-signed a<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/26/opinion/congress-netanyahu-gaza-war.html"> letter</a> published in The New York Times urging Congress to rescind their offer for Netanyahu to speak before them. In June, he wrote an <a href="applewebdata://2C1B764D-80DB-4D5E-8056-C6102B0C36BC/We%20need%20to%20immediately%20replace%20this%20failed%20government">opinion piece</a> in the hard-Left publication Ha’aretz stating, “Israel is being led by a government and a prime minister who are patently unfit for their offices.”
