136 human beings, including 8 Americans, are still being held hostage by Hamas. 

As we commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day in the shadow of the 7 October massacre by Hamas, it is as well to recall Palestinian collaboration with the Nazis before, during and after WWII.

More aid and a two-state solution are being called for by everyone from the UN, the US President to China. The Palestinians, PA, and Hamas have rejected every opportunity to have a state of their own beside Israel. 
-Who will be running the Palestinian state? 
-What will its borders be? 
-Why would Israel agree to have a neighbor that wants to annihilate it? 

The 10,000th humanitarian aid truck entered Gaza on January 22,  The IDF reiterated today that "there is no limitation to the amount of humanitarian aid that can enter Gaza,"  While the U.N. ramps up its public pressure on Israel to allow more goods into Gaza, the U.N. is failing to fully distribute all of the aid and all too often these supplies are stolen by Hamas terrorists.

 At 100 days since Oct 7:

*President Biden issued a statement, "On this terrible day, I again reaffirm my pledge to all the hostages and their families—we are with you.“ 

*An Israeli soccer player was arrested in Turkey for writing "100 days. October 7." on his wrist with a Star of David and showing it to the cameras after he scored a goal. Sagiv Jehezkel has been suspended by his Turkish team, had his contract terminated, and is reportedly being deported back to Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, "through its actions, Turkey serves as the executive arm of Hamas."

*Hamas released a video showing three of the Israeli hostages, Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38. The next day, Hamas announced that Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38, were executed by the terrorist group which kidnapped them to Gaza. They forced Noa Argamani to relay the horrific message. The worst part is, we don’t even know if it’s true or not. - Where's the UN? Where's the Red Cross? Where's the outrage and condemnation of Hamas? Where are the demands for release of all the hostages?
Yesterday, Hamas released another propaganda video claiming that hostage Ohad Yahalomi was murdered in captivity.

EmojiIran struck targets in Iraq, Pakistan and Syria. Iranian officials said they were going after militants they accused of being behind recent attacks that killed 84 people at a memorial procession for a revered Iranian military leader. The next day, Pakistan retaliated. What the media including the NYT skipped is that Iran is also behind Hamas and Houthi terrorists fighting from Yemen and Gaza, as well as terrorists in Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

On a Two-State Solution

America and Britain remain wedded to the "two-state solution" because they refuse to acknowledge that this conflict is not over a division of land. Instead, it is a war of annihilation against the Jewish homeland that has lasted for almost 100 years. There will be a Palestinian state when Palestinians want peace with Israel. Right now, Israel has no partner for peace.

Sunday, January 14th marks 100 days since Hamas attacked and invaded Israel.

Monday, January 15th is Martin Luther King Day in the US. As the country honors Martin Luther King, Jr. this weekend, I thought you'd appreciate these MLK quotes:
"When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews; you're talking antisemitism; 
“Israel’s right to exist as a state in security is incontestable.”
