 Hostage Update: 

Today, Hamas terrorists released a video of Hostage Liri Albag - alive after 455 days!
Held for nearly 15 months, Hamas refuses to release 12 live hostages out of 34 on the list and offers to release 12 bodies of other hostages in their place. Hamas terrorists are an obstacle to peace, a blot on humanity.

This week: In New Orleans, Staff Sargeant Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, an American citizen and an Army veteran, murdered 14 people in the name of ISIS. Expert says ISIS will use the New Orleans attack as  recruitment propaganda. On the same day as a terrorist attack inspired by ISIS, Nerdeen Kiswani, the co-founder of Within Our Lifetime (Students for Justice in Palestine, aka SJP), declared the US and Israel to be the world’s #1 terrorists. On January 1, protestors took over Times Square in NYC waving Yemeni and Syrian flags and chanting terrorist slogans. Yemeni terrorist militias attacked an Israeli city filled with children and hospitals. For the first time in months, Hamas was able to launch rockets at a kibbutz they had previously burned to the ground . Turkey bombed Kurdish minority schools and homes. The Muslim Brotherhood-led army in Sudan reached a grim milestone: committing multiple war crimes... 120,000 children and women killed, 1,579 airstrikes on homes, hospitals, mosques, and churches since April 15, 2023. Meahwhile, HTS and al-Julani in Syria remain ambiguous. al-Julani refused Erdogan's demands to move against the Kurds; without any court system, arrested 300 men and women; at least five groups within his coalition are on the U.S. terror blacklist; and he reached out to Christian leaders, but the HTS Ministry of Education announced changes to the syllabus that now include references to "Jews and Christians" as "those who earned God's anger and those who went astray."

EmojiEvery bakery in Gaza produces tens of thousands of bags of pita bread per day, and yet each bakery distributes only 300 bags per hour.  The rest is "smuggled" to Hamas-controlled markets selling for $16 instead of $0.82. Hamas intentionally creates a situation of scarcity. https://www.jns.org/how-the-international-community-funds-the-hamas-war-machine/
EmojiWhy do you think this was missing from the headlines: 
Palestinian journalist Shatha al-Sabbagh was killed in the Jenin refugee camp, where clashes continue between Palestinian Authority forces and Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Shot by a sniper outside her home, her family stated there was no fighting nearby, suggesting her death was deliberate.
Emoji"There is real danger in not condemning those who use hospitals for military purposes. It gives the world the perception that hospitals are completely immune to military action, which sends a message to all terrorists that the use of hospitals is an effective, albeit illegal, military strategy." John Spencer
Among the more than 240 terrorists apprehended at Hamas' regional command center at the Kamal Adwan Hospital were the terrorist who is the hospital’s director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya

EmojiMost eulogies for President Carter fail to accurately portray his legacy:  His key role in creating the historic 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty will always be remembered with appreciation, as will his assistance in helping Jews flee Iran, but there is a dark side to his legacy. Despite the PLO running terrorist operations, Carter pushed for a Palestinian state with the PLO and Arafat. He didn't take any steps to counter Palestinian terrorism. In his 2006 book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, Carter falsely accused Israel of apartheid, ignoring the context of Palestinian terrorism, which he failed to condemn. He even embraced Hamas as a partner. In 2014, he joined Irish President Robinson in calling to recognize Hamas as a legitimate "political actor that represents the bulk of the Palestinian population." While Hamas may represent the bulk of the Palestinian population, recognizing terrorists as legitimate actors should never be part an equation we want to end in peace. Carter’s decision to support the Afghan mujahideen in the 1980s, laid the groundwork for global terrorism. His decision to recognize the People's Republic of China and sever official ties with Taiwan, left a legacy of unchallenged authoritarianism. His decisions regarding Cuba and the Mariel Boatlift resulted in historically high crime rates in Florida. https://globaldisconnect.substack.com/p/jimmy-carters-legacy-history-of-failed

U.S. Condemns Houthi Attacks on Israel  (U.S. Mission to the UN)
The Houthis have launched more than 200 missiles and 170 drones at Israel in the past year, according to the IDF, and this morning's attack was the eighth in the past two weeks.

Thanks to UN Watch:

✅ The Netherlands two weeks ago voted to begin defunding UNRWA
✅ Sweden last week just announced an end to their funding of UNRWA
