Sloan: Paging Hezbollah… the Israelis storied no-nonsense history with terrorists

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Say what you will about the Israelis, no one can accuse them of lacking a degree of chutzpah when they put their minds to dealing with terrorism. Last week’s pager and walkie-talkie detonations in the hands and waistbands of thousands of Hezbollah operatives, and the subsequent massive airstrike against the organization (timed perfectly, by the way, to take place in the middle of Hezbollah’s press conference howling about the outrage of the operation – nice touch) read like something out of James Bond or a Tom Clancy novel. It was brilliant too: the psychological impact was almost as valuable as the crippling of their communications, and denying an enemy the ability to coordinate movements, relay information, and repor...

Israel neutralizes Hamas’s military capacity in Gaza

By Limor Simhony Philpott | The Spectator Has Hamas finally been defeated in Gaza, nearly a year after it launched the most deadly attack in Israel’s history? Israel’s defense minister Yoav Gallant has proclaimed that Hamas no longer has a military capacity in Gaza.  Hamas has indeed suffered a considerable blow since October. Many of its tunnels — one of its greatest strategic assists — have been destroyed entirely or partially. Many of its commanders have been killed. Two of its top three leaders, Mohammed Deif and Marwan Issa have been eliminated, as was the organization’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in Tehran.  Although the precise number of killed Hamas terrorists is not known, it is substantial. More importantly, the elimination ...

Brown University trustee steps down over vote on Israel divestment, calling it ‘morally reprehensible’

By Jennifer Nuelle | The Daily Caller A trustee at Brown University announced his resignation on Sunday over the school’s vote on Israel divestment. The university’s highest governing body, “The Corporation,” will vote on the divestment during its October meeting, which was decided after an agreement was made between administrators and “encampment organizers” in April, according to the Brown Daily Herald. Joseph Edelman, a trustee since 2019, noted that Brown’s plan to hold a divestment vote in the first place was based on “weakness towards student activists,” not facts and values. “I find it morally reprehensible that holding a divestment vote was even considered, much less that it will be held—especially in the wake of the deadliest assault on the Jewish people since the Holocau...

Hamas hostage and father of 11 rescued by IDF from tunnel in southern Gaza

By Olivia Land | New York Post An Israeli hostage being held by Hamas was rescued by special forces from a tunnel beneath southern Gaza on Tuesday, the IDF said. Qaid Farhan Alkadi, 52, who was kidnapped by the terror group on Oct. 7, was found in a tunnel in Mahrat during a “complex rescue operation,” according to the Israeli military. Alkadi, a father of 11 from the Bedouin Arab community, was rescued by IDF soldiers from the 13th Fleet Unit, 401st Brigade, as well as Yalam and Shin Bet fighters, the military said.

Israel intensifies strikes on Lebanon, according to state media and witnesses

By AP | Breitbart After a short-lived calm following a heavy exchange of strikes between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, fighting resumed Monday. State media and witnesses reported that Israeli strikes targeted the Lebanese border village of Tair Harfa and in the area of the coastal city of Sidon on Monday afternoon. A car was hit in the latter strike. It was not immediately clear whether there were casualties On Sunday, Israel launched dozens of strikes on southern Lebanon that it described as a preemptive operation, saying it had averted a major attack planned by Hezbollah in retaliation for the killing of one of its top commanders, Fouad Shukur, in an Israeli strike in Beirut last month. Shortly afterward, Hezbollah launched a barrage of hundreds of drones ...

Anti-Israel agitators burn American flags, accuse Netanyahu of being ‘war criminal’ as he addresses Congress

By Danielle Wallace , Brie Stimson | Fox News Anti-Israel demonstrators descended on Washington, D.C., on Wednesday ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress.  One demonstrator, whose face was covered, was spotted by Fox News carrying what appeared to be the flag of the terrorist group Hamas. Others were heard shouting "allahu Akbar."  Fox News estimates that a few hundred protesters had gathered on Pennsylvania Avenue and 3rd Street, outside the Gallery of Art. They have a stage set up in front of the Capitol building and are currently chanting. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Superior passes first-of-it-kind resolution condemning anti-Israeli protesters

By Shaun Boyd | CBS Colorado An anti-Israeli protest outside a private residence has prompted the town of Superior to take unprecedented action. Town trustees -- including one who is married to a Palestinian -- unanimously passed a resolution condemning protesters for "hate speech, antisemitism, and racism" against Jewish people. While other places have seen far bigger protests, Superior is the first municipality in the state -- and possibly the nation -- to take a stand. Trustees say protesters have the right to hateful, even racist speech, but they -- as town leaders -- have the right and responsibility to condemn it. "We typically don't wade into these types of political issues in a small, little municipality," said Mayor Mark Lacis. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS C...

Sloan: The unhinged morality of the international community

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice If anyone still harbored any illusions that the International Criminal Court at The Hague was a serious institution with a shred of legitimacy and a moral mandate, those illusions have surely been put to rest. ICC prosecutor Karim Khan issued arrest warrants in late May for Israeli Prime Minister Bejamin Netanyahu, and the Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, in what may be the finest demonstration of absurdity in international affairs so far this century. And given the continued omnipresence of the UN, that’s saying a lot. Granted, Khan and his team of charlatans also issued warrants for a handful of Hamas bosses, but the ludicrous equivalence only seems to lend an even greater sense of incredulity to the episode; it...

‘Wait, They Left’: College students stumped by simple questions about Israel and Hamas

By Matt Vespa | TownHall.com With colleges becoming hotbeds for antisemitism and pro-Hamas propaganda, comedian and actor Zach Sage decided to play a little game with the future minds of tomorrow. He introduced “Gaza Graduation: The Game Show” to these kids, asking simple questions about Hamas, Israel, and the Middle East. It was a trainwreck.  Some of these students were paying an arm and a leg to attend schools like Pace and Sarah Lawrence and were egregiously ignorant of the questions. Not that’s a shock to you, but it’s pretty heinous that some of these clowns didn’t even know that Gaza was under the control of Egypt, and then Israel left Gaza in 2006.  “Wait—they left,” responded one flummoxed student.

George Soros is paying student radicals who are fueling nationwide explosion of Israel-hating protests

By Isabel Vincent | New York Post George Soros and his hard-left acolytes are paying agitators who are fueling the explosion of radical anti-Israel protests at colleges across the country. The protests, which began when students took over Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus lawn last week, have mushroomed nationwide. Copycat tent cities have been set up at colleges including Harvard, Yale, Berkeley in California, the Ohio State University and Emory in Georgia — all of them organized by branches of the Soros-funded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — and at some, students have clashed with police.
