Los medios de comunicación están implementando el plan genocida de Sinwar
Tras la muerte del dirigente terrorista Yahya Sinwar, han surgido documentos que confirman lo que muchos observadores ya sabían: el mandatario de Hamás convirtió la muerte de civiles gazatíes, especialmente mujeres y niños, en un arma más de su arsenal.
Sinwar comprendió que los medios de comunicación harían hincapié en estas bajas, las atribuirían todas a Israel y aumentarían la presión sobre el Gobierno israelí para que satisficiera las irrazonables demandas de su organización yihadista. Así lo formuló el Wall Street Journal tras una larga investigación:
"Los mediadores árabes se apresuraron a acelerar las conversaciones sobre un alto el fuego... En un mensaje, Sinwar instó a sus compañeros de la dirección política de Hamás fuera de Gaza a no hacer concesiones y, en su lugar, presionar para que se ponga fin a la guerra de forma permanente. Un elevado número de víctimas civiles crearía una presión global sobre Israel, dijo Sinwar."
Esta "estrategia del bebé muerto" ha sido utilizada por Hamás durante décadas. Sus dirigentes consideran que aumentar el número declarado de víctimas civiles entre los palestinos es necesario para la victoria, tanto en el tribunal de la opinión pública como en los tribunales de justicia. De ahí que animen a los civiles a permanecer en zonas peligrosas y junto a sus combatientes, y los declaren mártires una vez fallecidos.
Puede que sea la primera vez en la historia militar que unos líderes admiten poner en peligro a su propia gente para aumentar las cifras de bajas (aquí, aquí, aquí, aquí y aquí).
Sin el apoyo de la prensa, esta estrategia fracasaría. Porque requiere que los medios informen de las cifras de víctimas generadas por Hamás de forma acrítica y sin investigar sus componentes subyacentes.
De esta forma, los medios de comunicación informan de aproximadamente 43.000 palestinos muertos. Aunque podría distinguir fácilmente entre muertos combatientes y no combatientes, Hamás se rehúsa a hacerlo. En su lugar, distingue entre adultos varones, mujeres y lo que describe como "niños". No reconoce que muchos de estos supuestos niños también eran combatientes: todos los menores de 19 años caen bajo esta categoría, independientemente de si son terroristas de 15, 16, 17 o 18 años que han sido reclutados y entrenados para asesinar israelíes. Hacen lo mismo con las mujeres, transmitiendo la impresión de que sólo los hombres son terroristas.
Además, no distingue las bajas por fuego amigo provocadas por sus misiles, los de la Yihad Islámica u otros grupos terroristas cuyos cohetes tienen un alto porcentaje de fallo, estrellando muchos en Gaza.
Estos conteos también sugieren que todos los no miembros de Hamás son civiles inocentes, cuando muchos de quienes participaron directamente en las masacres, violaciones y secuestros del 7 de Octubre fueron civiles sin filiación al grupo. Otros vitorearon a estos bárbaros cuando regresaban a la Franja con rehenes vivos o muertos. Otros permitieron que se utilizaran sus casas para esconderlos. Muchos contribuyeron a Hamás financieramente o de otras formas. Luego están los escudos humanos -algunos voluntarios, otros coaccionados- que murieron por haber sido puestos deliberadamente en peligro de acuerdo con la estrategia de Sinwar de maximizar las muertes de civiles.
En consecuencia, nadie sabe realmente el número exacto de palestinos completamente inocentes que han sido asesinados. No sería sorprendente que un cuidadoso desglose de los muertos diera como resultado una cifra inferior a 10.000 cuyas muertes pueden atribuirse razonablemente a Israel y no a la estrategia de la Sinwar. Incluso el doble de esa cifra sería notablemente menos que las de otras guerras urbanas libradas por la OTAN y países democráticos. Representaría una proporción aproximada de un civil muerto por cada combatiente muerto, y significaría que aproximadamente el uno por ciento de la población civil de Gaza murió en una guerra iniciada por Hamás y librada con escudos civiles. Toda estadística en otra guerra similar ha sido peor.
Sin embargo, los medios de comunicación hacen que Israel parezca el peor infractor de la historia. Y los ignorantes útiles de los campus universitarios, junto con los fanáticos de las organizaciones internacionales, acusan falsamente al Estado judío de genocidio, a pesar de los exitosos esfuerzos de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel por reducir las bajas civiles al mínimo posible, en consonancia con la consecución de sus objetivos militares.
Ha llegado el momento de realizar investigaciones y evaluaciones creíbles sobre el número real de gazatíes que han sido asesinados. A falta de una contabilidad honesta, los medios seguirán haciendo el nefasto trabajo de Sinwar de inflar las bajas palestinas para incrementar la presión sobre Israel. Aplicar la estrategia del líder terrorista incluso después de su muerte resultará en más muertes palestinas, la continuación de la guerra y la demonización de Israel. Precisamente lo que Sinwar pidió a sus seguidores que hicieran tras su muerte. No se le debe permitir alcanzar sus objetivos asesinos a título póstumo. Para impedirlo, se debe informar verazmente: la estrategia de Sinwar requiere que los reporteros difundan información mendaz y selectiva.
Tristemente, la peligrosa cooperación de los medios con los terroristas dice más sobre los primeros que sobre la guerra que pretenden cubrir.

l ministro de Exteriores de Israel sobre una tregua en Líbano: “Hay avances y estamos listos”
El nuevo ministro de Exteriores, Guideon Saar, afirmó este lunes que “hay avances” en las negociaciones de las últimas semanas para un alto el fuego en el Líbano, con la mediación de EE.UU., y que Israel está “listo” para llegar a ese punto.
“Estamos trabajando con los estadounidenses en este asunto. Hay avances y estamos listos para progresar en esas negociaciones”, aseveró Guideon Saar, que asumió como jefe de la diplomacia el pasado viernes, en sustitución de Israel Katz.
Ministro de Cultura iraní: “El 7 de octubre será designado ‘Día del valor épico de los jóvenes palestinos’ – Esta cantidad de sionistas muertos no tiene precedentes en la historia”
El ministro iraní de Cultura y Orientación Islámica, Mohammad Mehdi Esmaili, participó en un evento de poesía llevado a cabo el 24 de octubre de 2023 en una biblioteca pública de Teherán y dedicado a Gaza y Palestina. En este contexto, Esmaili anunció que se designaría en el calendario persa el 7 de octubre – el día de la masacre de Hamás de 1.400 civiles en Israel – como el «Día del valor épico de los jóvenes palestinos».
El ministro también señaló en el evento de poesía, titulado «El nombre de la tarde es el amanecer», que según el líder supremo iraní Ali Khamenei, el 7 de octubre marca el comienzo de la cuenta atrás para la destrucción del régimen ocupante (es decir, Israel). Al mismo tiempo, Esmaili denominó la operación “Inundación de Al-Aqsa” de Hamás una “epopeya de valor sin precedentes en la memoria histórica de la región y en las luchas del pueblo musulmán de Palestina”.

Hamás y Fatah acuerdan establecer un gobierno de tecnócratas para la posguerra en Gaza

El grupo terrorista islámico palestino Hamás y Fatah, el principal partido de gobierno de la Autoridad Palestina (AP), acercaron posiciones sobre una futura gestión de la Franja de Gaza cuando termine el conflicto con Israel durante sus reuniones en El Cairo.
Fuentes egipcias cercanas a las negociaciones, dónde el país árabe participa como mediador, señalaron que tanto Fatah como Hamás “mostraron más flexibilidad y positividad” para el establecimiento del denominado “Comité de Apoyo Comunitario”, el organismo que regiría la Franja, afiliado a la AP y administraría el territorio con la presencia de figuras independientes en sus filas.
Amos Schocken’s lies, Bill Clinton’s truths
The "Haaretz" publisher calls Palestinian terrorists “freedom fighters,” while the former U.S. president highlights their history of rejectionism.
(Nov. 3, 2024 / JNS) Two speeches last week are worthy of note for the widespread surprise they elicited, causing each to go viral within minutes.
The first was delivered last Sunday by the publisher of the Haaretz newspaper, Israel’s equivalent to The New York Times in terms of its increasingly radical content—no longer even disguised as journalistically objective—and shrinking, self-anointed elitist readership.
Las acusaciones de conducta sexual inapropiada que enfrenta el fiscal que quiere arrestar a Netanyahu
Este año, el fiscal principal de la Corte Penal Internacional ha buscado presentar cargos por crímenes de guerra contra el primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu por sus acciones en Gaza, pero se ha visto envuelto en un escándalo.
Karim Khan enfrenta acusaciones de que intentó durante más de un año obligar a una asistente a tener una relación sexual y la manoseó contra su voluntad.
Él ha negado categóricamente las acusaciones, diciendo que no hay “ninguna verdad en las sugerencias de mala conducta”.
Los funcionarios de la Corte han sugerido que pueden haber sido hechas como parte de una campaña de desprestigio de la inteligencia israelí.

Palestino confirma: Hamas está instalado en escuelas y hospitales
El portavoz de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel reveló este lunes que la organización terrorista Hamas estaba operando un comando de guerra armado dentro del hospital Kamal Adwan en Jebalia al norte de la Franja de Gaza, publicó imágenes de las armas halladas en el lugar e informó que detuvo allí unos 100 terroristas, incluyendo algunos que participaron en la masacre del 7 de octubre. Algunos de ellos intentaron huir mezclados entre los civiles, cuando el ejército organizó desalojo parcial para que se pueda operar contra los terroristas sin poner en riesgo a los pacientes y el personal médico.
“A fin de mantener los sistemas especiales del hospital y garantizar el cuidado a los pacientes, la Administración de Enlace y Coordinación con Gaza coordinó con el hospital la activación de un generador adicional para garantizar electricidad y suministro de oxígeno a los pacientes”, dice el comunicado oficial del ejército.
'Don't count on THAAD' for protection: IRGC issues renewed threats to Israel
"Don't count on THAAD. Every time you fire a projectile, we will fire more than you," Salami reportedly said.
IRGC chief Hossein Salami issued new threats to Israel on Thursday, warning the country not to count on the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile system for protection, Saudi media site Al-Hadath reported.
The comment came as Iran has been awaiting Israeli retaliation for its aerial attack earlier this month.

Iran prepares military for war, threatens retaliation if Israel strikes leaders, hits oil or nuclear facilities – report
Israeli officials deny US leaks pushed back strikes against Iran.
The leader of the Iranian regime, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ordered his military forces to prepare several possible options for how to respond if Israel attacks Iran – while also signaling that Iran could choose to view the exchange as ended if Israel’s strike doesn’t cross certain red lines.
According to four unnamed Iranian officials who recently spoke to The New York Times, the severity of Iran’s response will depend on Israel's targets in a strike.
US ELECTION: How Trump and Harris differ (and agree) on Israel
Trump says he will keep Israel safe in a world teeming with threat. Harris promises to preserve an alliance consistent with President Biden’s decades of support for the country.
With just two weeks to go before the election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have both tried to use Israel as a wedge issue: Trump has said the country will not exist in two years if he is defeated, and Harris’ campaign has called his rhetoric on Israel antisemitic.
Trump and Harris do disagree on a range of Israel-related topics, from how Israel should fight its battles to their starkly different visions of America’s role in the world.
But there are also key issues where — in the big picture — they agree.
Both Harris and Trump support Israel’s multi-front war against a range of terrorist adversaries, from Hamas in Gaza to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Both want the war in Gaza to end soon. Both want to expand the normalisation deals between Israel and its neighbours. Neither is a big fan of the phrase “two-state solution.” And, in an especially notable patch of common ground, both want to move on from the Obama-era nuclear deal with Iran.
Their disagreements tend to appear in the fine print of those policies, and in the style with which each delivers their message. And each candidate has given pro-Israel voters reasons for pause: Trump has taken a turn toward isolationism, while Harris has made efforts to appease critics of Israel in her party.
We combed through speeches and campaign materials and spoke to supporters of both nominees to understand their rhetoric, proposals and outlooks.
Trump says Israel’s security depends on him. Harris vows to safeguard the alliance.
The two candidates both pledge to support Israel, but characterise that support in different ways. Trump’s promise is wrapped up in his persona, and Harris hews to the traditional language of valuing the United States’ alliances.
In an interview this week with Al Arabiya, a Saudi-owned channel, Trump said he would be able to achieve peace in the Middle East based on the respect he commands and relationships he has built there.
“I want to see the Middle East get back to peace and real peace, but a peace that’s going to be a lasting peace, and that’s going to happen,” he said. “I think the election is going to make a big difference, but I was respected over there, and [had] great relationships with so many.”
He has said Israel’s future also depends on his success. Speaking to the Israeli-American Council in September, Trump styled himself as Israel’s “protector” — and said the country would cease to exist if Harris wins the election — a repeated prediction that has made Jews across the political spectrum uneasy.
"Each candidate has given pro-Israel voters reasons for pause: Trump has taken a turn toward isolationism, while Harris has made efforts to appease critics of Israel in her party."
“If we continue down our current path, with four more years of Kamala, Israel will be faced not just with an attack, but with total annihilation,” he said. “And I hate to say it so much, it’s total annihilation. That’s what you’re talking about. You don’t have a protector. You have a big protector in me.”
Harris has emphasised the longstanding alliance between the U.S. and Israel. On the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack this year, she and her Jewish husband Doug Emhoff marked the anniversary of Hamas’ attack by planting a pomegranate tree at the vice president’s residence, a symbol of the alliance’s permanence.
“On this solemn day, I will restate my pledge to always ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself,” she said then. Tom Nides, a surrogate for the campaign who served as President Joe Biden’s ambassador to Israel, said Harris’s support would make it easier for Israel to make its own decisions.
“If you’re Israel and you’re making a determination of what you should do, to know that the Americans have got your back, that’s pretty important,” he said. “They’re very vulnerable, and they need our help, and we’re going to help them.”
Harris and Trump both want no more fighting in Gaza…
Both nominees want a quick end to the war.
Harris tends to cast her vision for the war’s end in terms of sympathy to both its Palestinian and Israeli victims — an attempt to bridge the divide in her party over the fighting.
“I am working to ensure it ends, such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realise their right to dignity, freedom and self-determination,” she said in a call with Jewish leaders during the High Holiday season, a formulation she has repeated across her campaign stops.
Trump has, for months, also advocated for a prompt end to the war. In March, he said, “You have to finish it up and do it quickly.” He’s repeated versions of that call in the months since.
“I did encourage him to get this over with,” Trump said at an August press conference, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “It has to get over with fast.”
He added, “Get your victory and get it over with. It has to stop, the killing has to stop.”
… but Harris stresses a ceasefire while Trump emphasises Israeli victory.
Harris has focused her Gaza policy on seeking a ceasefire. Trump has cast an end to the war as Israel’s decision — though he’s also said he’d like negotiations.
Harris surrogates said she shares Israel’s goal of degrading Hamas and Hezbollah, but her push for a ceasefire in Gaza has come while Netanyahu has vowed to continue the war. And Harris, mindful of her pro-Palestinian constituents, has also expressed sympathy for the tens of thousands of civilians killed and injured in the war — and called on Israel to allow more aid to enter Gaza.
“Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need,” she said last week. “Civilians must be protected and must have access to food, water, and medicine. International humanitarian law must be respected.”
Harris has spotlighted the experiences of Israeli hostages abducted last Oct. 7, as well as victims of the attack. She’s made a point of highlighting sexual violence during the attack, screening a documentary on that topic at the White House in June.
“We cannot look away and we will not be silent,” Harris said ahead of the screening. “My heart breaks for all these survivors and their families and for all the pain and suffering from the past eight months in Israel and in Gaza.”
Trump frames the end of the war in terms of Israel winning, though he hasn’t detailed what victory might entail. He has ridiculed Harris’ ceasefire calls as a constraint on Israel.
“From the start, Harris has worked to tie Israel’s hand behind its back, demanding an immediate ceasefire, always demanding ceasefire,” Trump said at his August press conference. A ceasefire “would only give Hamas time to regroup and launch a new Oct. 7-style attack.”
But speaking to Al Arabiya, he also said he thinks negotiations are possible, and agreed with the interviewer when she said “Prime Minister Netanyahu listens to you.”
“He does listen to me, and I have a call with him tomorrow,” Trump responded. He added his most frequent speculation on Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack and its aftermath — that it never would have happened if he had been in office.
“It’s so sad to think that, if I were president, that war would have never started,” he said. “You wouldn’t have all those dead people, all those, you know, just demolished cities and areas.”
Those conversations with Netanyahu may not always be pleasant. Kirsten Fontenrose, a former Trump National Security Council staffer, said Trump could get impatient if he saw Israel as standing in the way of a grand deal.
“I don’t expect him to air the dirty laundry at first. He’ll have those conversations behind the scenes,” she said in an interview. But she predicted that Trump would tell Netanyahu, “‘If you can’t get your cabinet behind what we are trying to lead, then there will be repercussions in terms of the level of American support.’”
Trump barely mentions the Palestinians — except when he has used the term as a pejorative against political figures such as Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer.
And regarding the hostages, in the Al Arabiya interview he speculated repeatedly that “many of them have been killed,” adding, “There are very few hostages” still alive.
They have both moved on from the Iran deal…
One of the sharpest foreign policy distinctions between Trump and Biden, four years ago, concerned the Iran nuclear deal, inked in 2015 when Biden was vice president and Barack Obama was president.
The deal curbed Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, and was reviled by Netanyahu. Acting on Netanyahu’s behest, Trump pulled out of the deal in 2018. Biden, in his first months in office, sought to restore it.
Iran is now said to be at the point where it could activate a nuclear weapon within a week. The Trump and Harris campaigns blame each other for that state of affairs — but neither wants to rejoin the agreement now.
Many of the accord’s provisions are lapsing, or have already lapsed, and Harris no longer even mentions the deal. Earlier this month, she named Iran as the “obvious” chief adversary of the United States.
“I don’t think anyone would think that we’re going to be reviving the JCPOA as it was constructed,” said Nides, using the agreement’s acronym. “Neither Trump or Harris.”
Trump says one of his proudest moments was pulling out of the JCPOA, but he now says he wants to strike a different deal with Iran, though he does not provide details.
“We have to make a deal, because the consequences are impossible,” he said last month at a press conference. “We have to make a deal.”
… but they have different takes on how Israel should strike Iran.
Since Iran barraged Israel with more than 180 missiles at the beginning of October, talk has abounded of Israel’s retaliatory strike. The United States is signaling that it supports an Israeli response, and Harris said in her High Holidays call that “all options are on the table.” Her surrogates said that includes U.S. involvement.
“We’ve got Israel’s back and actions speak louder than words,” Nides said. “We’re at an inflection point.”
When he was president, Trump ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a leading Iranian general. But he is famously war-averse, and has not said whether he would countenance U.S. involvement in a strike now.
In his interview with Al Arabiya, Trump said of Iran that “they won’t acquire” a nuclear weapon, though he declined to say how he’d accomplish that. He has said that Israel should strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“It’s the biggest risk we have, nuclear weapons, the power of nuclear weapons,” he said at a campaign stop this month. “Hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later.”
They both want to expand the Abraham Accords.
A rare area of agreement between Biden and Trump was in their support for the Abraham Accords, the 2020 agreement that normalised relations between Israel and four neighboring Arab countries. That remains on the agenda for both nominees, even in the shadow of war.
“Vice President Harris has been strongly advocating Israel’s integration into the region and adding onto the Abraham Accords to include other countries including Saudi Arabia,” said Jeremy Bash, a top defense and intelligence official in the Obama administration who is acting as a Harris surrogate.
Trump, in the Republican Party platform, has pledged to “seek peace in the Middle East.” Trump’s son-in-law and former senior adviser, Jared Kushner, reportedly is still encouraging Saudi Arabia’s buy-in to the accords, something Biden also pushed hard for prior to the Oct. 7 attack.
In his interview with Al Arabiya, Trump predicted that he would bring Iran into the Abraham Accords along with at least a dozen other countries — something that, if it were to happen, would entail a major realignment in which the top regional adversary of Israel and the United States becomes an ally. Trump did not detail how that shift would occur.
“I think we would have had something. I think we would add something very special, we’ll still have something,” Trump told Al Arabiya.
Neither mentions the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Netanyahu’s government has rejected the possibility of a Palestinian state, particularly since the Oct. 7 attack. And that outcome — once a bipartisan aspiration in Washington — is also absent from Trump and Harris’ speeches.
Harris does not mention “two states” or Palestinian statehood in her speeches, sticking to the vaguer formulation of “self-determination.” But Bash signaled that two states is still the preferred solution.
“American foreign policy has not changed with respect to our interests in the Middle East,” he said.
Trump has depicted his sidelining of the Palestinians as one of the triumphs of his presidency. He has also boasted of shutting down the Palestinian mission to Washington and moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, actions reviled by Palestinian leaders. The peace proposal he unveiled in 2020 left Israeli West Bank settlements intact — and was dismissed out of hand by Palestinian leaders.
“I defunded the Palestinian Authority and choked off all of the money to Hamas, don’t forget, nobody ever did that,” he said last month at the Israeli American Council conference. (U.S. funds never reached Hamas.)
Trump, though, remains unpredictable: He rattled Netanyahu in July when he publicly thanked Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for wishing him a full recovery from his attempted assassination. Shortly afterward, he had a warm meeting with Netanyahu.
Harris has rattled Israel supporters with her nods toward pro-Palestinian activists…
Harris’ sympathy for the right of pro-Palestinian protesters to speak out at her events can unsettle pro-Israel activists — and has provided attack fodder for the Trump campaign.
This week, speaking in Milwaukee, protesters challenged her to call Israel’s actions a “genocide.” She would not, but repeatedly said that she wanted a ceasefire. After security escorted out the protesters, she told her supporters, “What he’s talking about, it’s real” and “I respect his voice.”
That statement set off a firestorm among Republicans, who accused her of confirming that she believed Israel was committing genocide.
Her campaign told Israeli media that she did not believe Israel was committing genocide. “She didn’t agree with defining the war as a genocide, and she has not expressed such a stance in the past, as this is not her position,” an official said. The official characterised her words as “sympathy for the genuine feelings that the issue evokes in many people.”
Trump supporters have highlighted other instances where Harris appeared to express understanding of Israel’s opponents. And since last Oct. 7, they’ve made a point of noting that public protests against Israel generally come from the left, including on college campuses.
“You have the Democratic nominee who has given an interview saying she really understands where the anti-Israel, antisemitic protesters on campuses are coming from,” said Richard Goldberg, who served on the NSC under Trump. “You have the Republican nominee, the former president, saying he’s going to deport those people who are not American citizens, who are rabble rousing on college campuses. If you have children who are going to college in college, grandchildren, this contrast could not be starker.”
…and Trump has worried the pro-Israel crowd with his move toward isolationism.
Since leaving office, Trump has grown closer to isolationists. His running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, opposes assistance to Ukraine,and held up an Israel funding bill because it had a Ukraine component.
It is not a comfort to traditional conservative pro-Israel Republicans that Vance and others insist their opposition to foreign defense funding does not extend to Israel, noting that, for example, Russia and China both have links to Iran. And there are isolationists close to Trump who don’t support continued aid to Israel, most prominently Tucker Carlson, the conservative talk show host.
Twenty-one Republicans in Congress, including some of Trump’s most ardent backers, opposed emergency funding for Israel this year. In a post on his social network in February, Trump proposed loans instead of direct assistance to other countries; he did not name Israel specifically.
Goldberg, the former Trump NSC staffer, acknowledged that it is hard to anticipate where Trump will end up. “If anybody says they’re going to predict Donald Trump, they should get out of foreign policy, get out of the media, get out of any business,” he said in an interview this summer at the Republican convention.
Still, he noted that Trump had the final word in shaping the Republican Party platform, which pledged to “stand with Israel, and seek peace in the Middle East” and to “rebuild our Alliance Network in the Region to ensure a future of Peace, Stability, and Prosperity.”
Harris and her surrogates have portrayed her as a defender of the United States’ traditional commitment to international alliances. Like Biden, her supporters say, she is committed to the continuation of defense assistance to Israel — despite calls from some Democrats to condition or end the aid.
“As vice president, Kamala Harris has been a strong supporter of military assistance for Israel,” Bash said. “And I don’t foresee that changing.”

‘Abu Yair!’ – For Syrians like me, Netanyahu is an unlikely hero
We've beem labeled traitors and Zionist agents who deserve Assad’s sarin gas, but after Nasrallah's death, we handed out baklava.
On October 7th of last year, I was casually scrolling through my Instagram account, when images of a sickening massacre started flooding my newsfeed. At first, I assumed such a degree of brutality could only have been carried out by the Assad regime and Hezbollah against yet another Syrian town. A chill ran down my spine when I realized that this had taken place in Israel and was perpetrated by Hamas.

Axis of Ezekiel 38? - Turkish President Erdoğan calls for Russia, Iran, Turkey, Syria alliance against Israel
Israel ‘the most concrete threat to regional and global peace’ says Erdoğan.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoǧan told local media on Saturday that Russia, Iran and Syria should do more to protect Syria’s “territorial integrity.”
“It is essential that Russia, Iran and Syria take more effective measures against this situation, which poses the greatest threat to Syria’s territorial integrity,” Erdoǧan said when asked about the recent alleged Israeli airstrike in the nation's capital, Damascus.
Sorprendente afirmación de experto israelí: Irán ya tiene capacidad nuclear
El ataque lanzado el sábado bien temprano a la madrugada por Israel contra una serie de blancos militares en Irán, fue presentado como muy exitoso por autoridades y analistas israelíes, como habiendo alcanzado logros de gran significado estratégico. Pero ineludiblemente, la gran pregunta es si acaso eso puede en algo demorar el avance de Irán hacia la bomba atómica, aunque está claro que no fueron atacados blancos en su programa nuclear.
Para analizar distintos aspectos relacionados al reciente ataque de Israel, respuesta al lanzado por Irán el 1 de octubre con más de 190 misiles balísticos, el Jerusalem Press Club organizó una rueda de prensa virtual con el Dr. Eyal Pinko, comandante retirado de la Marina israelí que sirvió durante más de 30 años en cargos de Inteligencia y fue también jefe de programas de desarrollo e ingeniero en sistemas de armas y misiles. Después de retirarse del ejército en 2017, fue consultor en la Dirección Nacional Cibernética de Israel, a cargo de las amenazas cibernéticas contra Israel. Hoy en día es un destacado investigador en el Centro Begin Sadat de Estudios Estratégicos de la Universidad Bar-Ilan.
