One Christian murdered every 86 minutes in Nigeria. The hashtags are missing. The celebrities are missing. The outrage is missing. No Jew No news. What a remarkable coincidence.

Abdul El-Sayed is working on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood. This should be bi-partisan and should scare every American. The Muslim Brotherhood wrote down its plan in 1991: destroy Western civilization from within, and listed 29 "friend" organizations in America to help do it. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, is connected to them over and over again: โ€ข ISNA is number 1 on the Brotherhood's friends list. El-Sayed's father-in-law sits on ISNA's Founders Committee โ€ข ISNA was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case. Its leaders were convicted in 2008 of funneling $12 million to Hamas โ€ข His father-in-law was also president of CAIR Michigan, another group named in that same Hamas financing case, and still sits on its board โ€ข That father-in-law has put $300,000 into the super PAC electing El-Sayed โ€ข The Muslim Student Association is number 2 on the list. El-Sayed was vice president of its University of Michigan chapter. His wife was on the board too โ€ข He speaks at ISNA, CAIR, and ICNA events. ICNA is on the list too โ€ข His half-sister wrote it plainly in 2012: "My family has long been MB." She wrote about their mother's Brotherhood activism, and family members jailed for being part of it โ€ข Their mother worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, designated by Treasury in 2004 for financing al-Qaeda and Hamas โ€ข In 2011, El-Sayed wrote that Americans should not worry if the Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt โ€ข In 2012, he signed a letter backing Brotherhood president Morsi and calling on him to "purge the media and the police as quickly as possible" โ€ข When America killed al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, El-Sayed called it an "extrajudicial assassination" โ€ข When America killed 9/11 mastermind Ayman al-Zawahiri, El-Sayed called the strike "troubling" and a "fig leaf" โ€ข When Trump killed Soleimani, the Iranian general behind the deaths of over 600 US troops, El-Sayed warned: "one shouldn't kick a rabid dog" โ€ข When Khamenei was killed, El-Sayed said there were "a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today" โ€ข Asked by Bret Baier about the Morsi letter, El-Sayed shut the question down: "I'm not interested." He would not walk it back โ€ข After he won his primary, the Muslim Brotherhood's own website celebrated He says he "has no ties". Does this look like "no ties" to you?

Many thousands of Gazans were commuting daily to jobs within Israel before 10-7. This is what made 10-7 possible. A blockade would have prevented all but the paragliders, who were limited in what weapons they could bring.

@MaxAbrahms, an associate professor of political science at Northeastern University who studies terrorism and the Middle East, told JNS that โ€œthe removal of pro-Israel scholars and even Israel-neutral onesโ€ from academia has impacted โ€œWikipedia and many other forms of discourse influencing the public.โ€ โ€œZionist-free higher education reduces balanced scholarship and contributes to Wikipediaโ€™s bias,โ€ he said. โ€œThe same is true of podcasts and social media, where almost no pro-Israel scholars can be found.โ€ โ€œPhilanthropists who care about Israel and intellectual pluralism must make targeted investments to ensure there are faculty to teach the younger generation, which will also have all sorts of additional benefits like objectively correct entries on Wikipedia,โ€ he told JNS.

On October 7, 2023, Yael Idan watched Hamas murder her sister Maayan. Her father, Tzachi, was kidnapped to Gaza and later returned only as a body after being murdered in captivity. Their story must be seen and heard. We must never forget. May Tzachiโ€™s memory be a blessing. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

The "Babel" restaurant has reopened in Gaza in recent days. What is surprising is not the luxury and abundance, as usual, but rather what an Arabic TG channel named Al-Minkhal wrote about it. I am copying his words: "I swear, if I were the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I would take these videos and show them to the whole world. Anyone who says there's a famine in Gaza, or that Israel is failing to provide sufficient humanitarian aid, or that Israel isn't allowing enough trucks to enter, is lying."

Such an important post.
Canadian journalist goes to Israelโ€ฆ and the two-state dream dies on the spot. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Standing on the border, she points to an Israeli military hospital treating Syrian women โ€” ages 8 to 80 โ€” who were raped by ISIS. Then she drops the truth bomb: โ€œI came here believing in the two-state solution. I really did. Iโ€™m at a point now where I frankly do not.โ€ โ€œThe only way this tiny piece of land stays freeโ€ฆ is if Israelis are in control of it.โ€ Because if you hand any of it to the PLO or Hamas โ€” it will look exactly like Syria. Sometimes the most powerful pro-Israel voices arenโ€™t Israeli. Theyโ€™re the ones who actually showed up and opened their eyes. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ

This is Naama Levy. She was dragged into Gaza wounded, bleeding and helpless. Hamas kidnapped her while she was injured and held her in horrific conditions. Her wounds went untreated as she suffered severe malnutrition and extreme hunger. At one point, she had no water left and survived on rainwater collected in a pot. She was held alone for weeks, constantly moved from place to place, and forced to run under fire while her captors reloaded their weapons. She was forced to live in filth, with barely enough food, water or basic hygiene. The UN knew. The Red Cross knew. Where the hell were they when Naama needed them? Why was the Red Cross more concerned about Hamas terrorists than Israeli hostages? Share this and follow!

Israeli filmmakers have released 'NAZA: The Real Story' to answer the documentary 'NAZA'. The Venice film, by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, rests on anonymous testimony that civilian deaths were built into Israeli targeting in Gaza. The new film, by Lt. Col. Roi Danino, Hagai Gutman and Ariel Averbuch, uses on-the-record interviews with senior commanders and intelligence officers, plus combat footage and captured material. It argues that Hamas embedded fighters and weapons in homes, schools, mosques and hospitals, and that the IDF operated under strict rules of fire because of that. The pushback has already started โ€” attacks on the film and calls to boycott it. If it is buried before people watch it, only one version of the story will circulate. Watch it, then share it as widely as you can โ€” the link, the title, a short note on why it matters. Send it to family, friends, post it, forward it. The film is free at nazadocumentary.com. Do not let a boycott decide what others are allowed to see.

Let me remind you, so you donโ€™t forget! THE JEWS HAVE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 3,000 YEARS. And for over 3,000 years someone has tried to erase them. Again and again with a new conspiracy to justify it. The same has been tried with their holy land. Israel has been attacked, occupied, divided and denied by people who could not stand that the Jews had somewhere to belong. It did not work. Not once. The Jews are still here. And they are staying. Whether you like it or not. I stand right beside them. I protect them with everything I have and everything I am. And I am not moving. And I will walk alone if that is what it takes. I am not Jewish, I am a Christian woman. Not because I am braver than anyone else. But because I believe in a God who did not give me a voice to use only when it is easy. If my voice gets one more person to speak up, the next one is not standing alone anymore. Most people are not silent because they do not care. They are silent because they think they are the only one. They are not. Am Yisrael Chai.
