Elie Wiesel said it best: “Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” The silence from university presidents at Harvard, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Brown, George Washington University and Cooper Union is deafening. In support of Hamas’s Oct. 7 rampage through southern Israel, paid protesters, agitators and rabble rousers have wreaked havoc on campuses across the U.S. At Cooper Union, Jewish students were subjected to a pro-Hamas mob that terrorized them. At George Washington University, the statements “Glory to Our Martyrs” and “Free Palestine from the River to the Sea”—barely concealed code…

Hamas is preventing hundreds of American citizens from leaving the Gaza Strip, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan revealed to CBS on Sunday, ahead of a scheduled call between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “The challenge right now … is that the Egyptians are prepared to let Americans and other foreign nationals out of Gaza. The Israelis have no issue with that. But Hamas is preventing their departure and making a series of demands,” Sullivan told CBS’s “Face the Nation” program. “We’re trying to work through that to create a circumstance where all of the Americans who are in Gaza are…
Israel has tried to enlighten the world about the true nature of Hamas for years. Since the unspeakable atrocities that Hamas committed on October 7, some of the Western world is seeing the light. Others never will because they simply don’t want to – in fulfillment of ‘הלכה היא ידועה שעשו שונא יעקב.’ But on Friday, even the anti-Israel New York Times published a report entitled: As Gazans Scrounge for Food and Water, Hamas Sits on a Rich Trove of Supplies. The report quotes Western and Arab officials confirming Israel’s assertions that the Hamas terror group has been stockpiling supplies…

(JNS) – Israel denounced on Saturday a proposal by Elon Musk to provide internet connectivity to aid organizations in Gaza, saying Hamas would take advantage. With electricity and internet connectivity nearly non-existent, Musk said on X, formerly Twitter, “Starlink will support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza.” Starlink is a constellation of satellites providing internet connectivity in more than 60 countries, in areas with limited telecommunications infrastructure. Starlink is operated by Musk’s California-based SpaceX spacecraft manufacturer and launch service provider. Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi criticized the idea on X, formerly Twitter. “Israel will use all means at…
JERUSALEM (JNS) – Hamas has systematically turned hospitals in the Gaza Strip into terror command centers and hideouts, the Israel Defense Forces said on Friday, as volleys of rockets fired by Hamas targeted central and southern Israel. Four people were injured in a direct rocket strike on a residential building in Tel Aviv on Friday afternoon, ranging from moderate to light injuries. Half an hour after that attack, central Israel was again targeted by rockets. According to IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military is affixing a red flag to the world about Hamas’s war crime of using…

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — One of the youngest hostages being held captive in Gaza by Hamas is a 9-month-old Argentine baby, according to the head of Argentina’s embassy in Israel. “The youngest hostage, a baby of only nine months, is Argentine. It’s very difficult to talk about such painful topics,” Francisco Tropepi told Vis á Vis, a news outlet focused on reporting related to Israel and the Jewish community in Argentina, in an interview. Tropepi did not reveal the baby’s identity. There are 21 Argentine citizens who remain missing and are presumed to be held hostage by Hamas, Foreign Minister…
The Writers Guild of America (WGA), the moving force behind Hollywood and the American entertainment industry, is usually vocal over matters of so-called “social justice”. Yet, in the face of the inhumane October 7 slaughter of more than 1,400 innocent Israeli civilians by the Hamas terror group, the Guild has been silent. Israeli-American screenwriter Dan Gordon resigned from the Writers Guild to protest its unwillingness to speak out against the massacres in Israel. Gordon, writer of The Hurricane, Wyatt Earp, and other films, is an IDF veteran and holds dual citizenship. Noting that the Guild has taken stands in support…
