Since October 7, Israel has helped facilitate the delivery of over 375,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The aid arrives by land and air, carried out by the U.S., France, Belgium, Egypt, UAE, and Jordan.

Hostages Update: Six Months Since 10/7; If it's true that only 40 hostages remain alive, it would imply that Hamas has been murdering them in captivity - add this to the list of their many war crimes
Hostage Elad Katzir’s Body Recovered From Gaza Katzir, 47, a dual citizen of Israel and Poland, was kidnapped from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 by terrorists and coerced into lying on camera for two propaganda videos released by Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), one in December and one in January. He was then believed to be murdered by his captors sometime in mid-January. 

Amnesty International shared a post vilifying Israel for not releasing the monster who was responsible for the torture and death of Moshe Tamam in 1984. Moshe was kidnapped, eyes gouged out, mutilated and castrated before finally taking a bullet to the chest. The anti-Israel organization inverted the entirety of cause-and-effect, AI condemned "Israel's disregard for Palestinians' right to life," rather than an Israeli Arab's disregard for an Israeli Jew's right to life. Amnesty has never advocated for innocent Israelis in captivity, but they glorify this murderer.

EmojiJordanian Regime Furious With Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood: They Are Acting To Foment Chaos In Kingdom In Service Of Iran As per MEMRI analysis, Iran's grand plan includes bringing down the regime in Jordan, attacking Israel from the east while Israel is kept busy by Iran-backed resistance forces in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The political aim of this plan is to thwart the Saudi-American project of normalization with Israel.
EmojiU.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's (left) prediction that creating a Palestinian state will isolate Iran is "naïve and misunderstands" the Islamic Republic, headed by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
SYRIA
EmojiSyria attack kills 8 pro-Iran fighters: Eight Syrian fighters working with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) were killed Tuesday in a knife attack on their position in eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor province, in the second deadly attack on pro-Iran fighters in two days in the Mayadeen area. The eight dead fighters “worked under the command” of the IRGC. Control of Deir Ezzor is split between U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces to the east of the Euphrates river and Iran-backed Syrian government forces and their proxies to the west, with ISIS also active in the province. Tuesday’s attack came after gunmen reportedly killed three IRGC- affiliated Syrians  in an attack on a military position on the outskirts of Mayadeen city.  https://www.barrons.com/news/syria-attack-kills-8-pro-iran-fighters-monitor-6e12d3a2 But only the Israeli strike last week gets page 1.

EmojiEmojiProbably a surprise to no one, this afternoon, Congresswomen Rashida Talib, presented Motaz Azaiza, Hamas TV (Al Jazeera) "journalist," with a Congressional Record (Award). He was airlifted from Egypt directly into Qatar using Qatari military planes, (no answer as to how he left Gaza).  He started making the hashtag #PalestineGenocide trend while the slaughter of Israelis had just started.

On Campus
EmojiThe UC Berkeley president acknowledged that anti-Israel students targeting the law school dean’s home reception was antisemitic. Students invited to dinner at UC Berkeley Law Dean's home disrupt the dinner in support of Hamas. They targeted the Dean because he's Jewish. The students were removed from the home. At this point it's not clear if they will face any disciplinary action, but CAIR National, rather than condemning the action, condemned the alleged assault on Malak Afaneh, a University of California Berkeley student.

EmojiFour Columbia students suspended, evicted from University housing following unauthorized 'Resistance 101' event (Columbia Spectator) Columbia initially suspended 6 students, but later lifted 2 suspensions. It would seem Columbia draws the line at inviting an actual terrorist to speak. *when invited without permission while the school is under investigation for antisemitism and the university president is about to appear before Congress.
EmojiThis week, Columbia hired Karen Attiah as an adjunct professor. Despite being an award-winning journalist, Attiah’s published pieces and social media posts are full of misleading statements and a skewed analysis that serve only to malign Israel and provide implicit justification of Hamas’ atrocities.
