Israeli Military Says Hamas Stockpiling 500,000 Liters of Fuel

While Aid Agencies Decry Shortage

by Andrew Bernard, Algemeiner, October 24, 2023:

Israel on Tuesday released satellite images depicting what it described as stockpiles of half a million liters of diesel fuel controlled by Hamas as UN agencies claimed that their operations were on the verge of ceasing for lack of power.

“There’s fuel in Gaza to run hospitals and pump water,” Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Lt. Col. (res.) Jonathan Conricus posted on X/Twitter. “But Hamas prefers to use the fuel to continue fighting Israel. All those who claim otherwise are whitewashing Hamas crimes against their own.”

Conricus shared a post from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), a unit in the Israeli Defense Ministry, showing the purported fuel tanks.

The IDF also posted a similar message from its own X/Twitter account showing fuel tanks in Hamas-controlled Gaza, suggesting the UN ask the Palestinian terrorist group for the fuel it needs….

“Without fuel, there will be no water, no functioning hospitals and bakeries,” UNRWA said in a statement. “Without fuel, aid will not reach those in desperate need. Without fuel, there will be no humanitarian assistance. No fuel will further strangle the children, women, and people of Gaza … Without fuel, we will fail the people of Gaza whose needs are growing by the hour, under our watch.”…

“Without fuel,” all sorts of dire things will happen. But there is plenty of fuel in Gaza, half a million liters of it, just sitting in tanks controlled by Hamas. Why doesn’t UNRWA, or the UN, or the Arab League, call on Hamas to release that fuel for the use of civilians in Gaza?

UNRWA last week issued a statement saying that “the de facto authorities” in Gaza — meaning Hamas — had seized fuel and medical supplies from UNRWA’s evacuated headquarters in Gaza City. UNRWA then deleted its own statement and claimed that Hamas’ seizure of the supplies was a routine transfer.

“UNRWA would like to confirm that no looting has taken place in any of its warehouses in the Gaza Strip,” UNRWA said in its follow-up statement. “The images circulating on social media were of a movement of basic medical supplies from the UNRWA warehouse to health partners.”

I'll bet that's the first time Hamas has been called a Health Partner. It's a Health Partner because it won't kill all those in UNRWA for telling the truth. How does a 'routine' movement of supplies occur from an abandoned building?

Israel releases video of Hamas turning one of Gaza’s biggest

medical centers into headquarters for terror

OCT 28, 2023 8:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

Hamas launches many of its operations from hospitals, schools and highly populated areas. Israeli intelligence has just confirmed what Jihad Watch noted on Oct. 19, that one of Gaza’s biggest medical centers, Shifa Hospital, is being used as a terror operations base by Hamas terrorists.

Netanyahu also tweeted that Hamas turns hospitals into headquarters for terror:

While Hamas supporters apply an obscene moral equivalence to Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza, the world (mainly leftists) continues to fail to understand the difference between just war and jihad terror. Israel is fighting for its right to exist. If Israel ever lays down its weapons, it will be obliterated. If Hamas and every jihadist lay down their weapons, there would be peace.

Hamas’ savage attack on Israel revealed its modus operandi to the world, and it continues to do so in its treatment of its own people as human shields, as it escalates its propaganda war. And Hamas knows all too well that the mainstream media generally ignores publishing the truth about Hamas’ human shields and Palestinian victims, including children, involved.

Hamas terrorists recount raping girl's corpse, offered $10K

reward and apartment for hostages

By Samantha Kamman, Christian Post Reporter

Israeli soldiers remove the body of a civilian, who was killed days earlier in an attack by Palestinian militants on this kibbutz near the border with Gaza, on October 10, 2023, in Kfar Aza, Israel. Israel has sealed off Gaza and conducted airstrikes on Palestinian territory after Hamas' attack killed hundreds and took 230 hostages. On October 7, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel from Gaza by land, sea and air, killing over 1,400 people and wounding more than 3,000. Israeli soldiers and civilians have also been taken hostage by Hamas and moved into Gaza. The attack prompted a declaration of war by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and ongoing retaliatory strikes by Israel on Gaza killing hundreds. | Amir Levy/Getty Images

Several Hamas terrorists captured after the Oct. 7 massacre confessed during their respective interrogations that they were ordered to slaughter everyone, and one terrorist said he was granted permission to rape a girl’s corpse. 

The terrorist group’s assault earlier this month resulted in the deaths of more than 1,400 civilians, including Americans and other foreigners, and the abduction of around 230 people during one of the deadliest attacks in Israel’s history. 

According to The Times of Israel, Israeli security agencies released footage of the interrogations of seven Hamas terrorists. In one of the videos, a Hamas militant captured during an assault on Kibbutz Alumim said their orders were to enter each home and kill everyone, including the women and children. 

“Hamas ordered us to crush their heads and cut them off [and] to cut their legs,” he said. 

The same man also said that permission was granted to defile a young girl’s corpse.

Another video released by the Shin Bet and the Israel Police contained six excerpts from interrogations of Hamas’ Nukhba forces responsible for the massacre of Israelis. As The Jerusalem Post reported on Oct.15, Israeli Air Force fighter jets successfully targeted and killed Bilal al Qadr, a senior Hamas commander for the Nukhba special forces.

In the interrogation video of the Hamas militants, one of the terrorists said that for the men who brought a hostage back to Gaza, each would receive $10,000 and an apartment as a reward. Another man said that their orders were to kidnap women, children, and the elderly and kill young men. 

Yet another revealed that he and others torched two homes, while another stated that he shot a dog that approached him outside a house. According to the terrorists, while operatives carried out the assault against Israel, senior Hamas commanders remained behind in hideout apartments.

“The security forces of the State of Israel will settle accounts with all the terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre,” the Shin Bet and Israeli police said in a statement. 

As The Times of Israel reported, the Israeli government showed around 43 minutes of footage of Hamas’ assault against Israel for 200 members of the foreign press. The government decided to share the footage to dispel “a Holocaust-denial-like phenomenon happening in real-time.” 

The screening took place on a closed military base, and journalists were not permitted to record the footage gathered from Hamas terrorists’ body cameras, social media and other sources. 

One set of videos showed Hamas terrorists dressed in IDF uniforms, stopping cars and shooting the passengers inside. The terrorists were seen dragging dead bodies out of vehicles and stealing their belongings, which sometimes included their cars. 

Another video showed a terrorist attempting to decapitate a man writhing on the ground, while another showed first responders pouring water over smoldering bodies. 

In addition to murder and kidnapping, Hamas terrorists subjected women, grandmothers and children to extreme sexual violence. 

A Rabbinate Corps Member of the IDF, Shari, told The Daily Mail and other media outlets earlier this month that they’ve been washing the victims’ bodies and preparing them for burial. Shari said that what she had seen was “worse than the Holocaust.”

“There is evidence of mass rape so brutal that they broke their victims’ pelvis — women, grandmothers, children,” Shari said, adding that she also saw “people whose heads have been cut off,” and women in their night dresses “woken up and shot.” 

In some cases, people had their faces “blasted off,” or their brains spilled out after having their heads smashed in by a terrorist, according to Shari. The Rabbinate Corps Member said that she also saw a baby “cut out of a pregnant woman and beheaded and then the mother was beheaded.”

“We wash the bodies and prepare them for burial. We try to bring them dignity in death,” Shari said about her work.

Video of Palestinian scholar denouncing homosexuality goes viral

as queer community support for “Free Gaza/Palestine” increases

Hindu Post, October 30, 2023:

A sermon at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem in July 2022 by a Sheikh Mohammed Saleem Ali was making the rounds on social media platform X. The clergy/scholar called for not allowing any homosexuals in Palestine and also said that such a perversion brought the wrath of Allah.

The transcript from the video reads, “Our Muslim Palestinian people will not accept a single homosexual openly declaring his abomination. Will you allow a single homosexual in the land of Jerusalem and Palestine? Will you allow that? No. Our people will not allow there to be institutions that promote this abomination on the blessed and pure land of Palestine. They will not allow any omission or change to the laws of the shari’a, nor will they accept curricula that go against the laws of Islam. Oh, Muslims, follow the example of your Messenger. Trample under foot anything that is prohibited, haram, and contradicts the religion of Islam. The mixing (of male and female students) in universities is a form of immorality. You have witnessed some of the results of this when several female students in a number of Arab universities were killed. We hereby declare that we reject and abhor all the manifestations of homosexuality and perversion. Allah tormented and annihilated the people of Sodom for engaging in this crime. We stress our absolute rejection of the existence of institutions that encourage homosexuality and promiscuity. We demand that these institutions be shut down immediately. Such (phenomena) are an obstacle to victory, and they bring the wrath of Allah down on all of us. “

This comes at a time when one can see growing voices of support from the queer community, especially in the West for Palestine. Slogans like Free Palestine and Free Gaza are seen in demonstrations led by such activists.

Here are a few posts that are making the rounds on the internet. One group speaking for Reproductive Rights even equates those rights to free Palestine……

Antisemitism Madness > Mass Psychopathy in the West - Melanie Phillips; Norway's Idiotic Proportionality Idea

..

We are now just beginning to understand how Naziism took hold so astonishingly in the 1930s. It's happening again in the 2020s. It is sheer hatred driven by forces we can barely understand. We can understand that 'lies' are one of the foundations of Naziism, and Palestinian propaganda is worse than the Nazi lies. 

Social media allows us to spread lies all over the world in a matter of minutes, and too many people believe what crap they read on the internet without questioning it. They are not interested in the truth, only in furthering their prejudices. Unless we demand the truth and question everything, we will be led down the garden path.

And, yes, Satan is at the end of that path, and we are rushing toward him. 

The west's mass psychopathy moment

The Palestinian cause has destroyed the free world's moral compass

MELANIE PHILLIPS

OCT 30, 2023

The massive demonstrations of support for Hamas on the streets of European and American cities, with baying mobs calling for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews everywhere while the liberal, educated classes are either silent or are actually supporting barbarism against civilisation, signifies a profound crisis for the free world.

This mass psychopathy moment has a number of causes. For now, let’s just discuss one of them. A principal contributor to this cultural degeneracy is support for the Palestinian cause.

This support is the default narrative for the “progressive" classes throughout the west. There are a number of reasons for this, including the “colonialist” anti-west narrative, antisemitism and the shallow and meretricious liberal article of faith that all actors in every conflict are governed by reason and self-interest, and that as a consequence every cause is negotiable and open to compromise.

This has led to the fixed belief, very much on show in the Biden administration and underlying all liberal discussion about the Hamas pogrom and the war in Gaza, that while there are “bad” Palestinians, called Hamas, there are also “good” Palestinians called “Gazan civilians” and the Palestinian Authority (PA) led by Mahmoud Abbas— who after this war is over must be assisted to realise their “legitimate” aspiration for a state of Palestine, which will bring this conflict between Israel and the Palestinians to an end. 

This is all based on a fundamental and egregious set of errors. 

While there are undoubtedly Palestinians in both Gaza and the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria who desire nothing more than to support their families and live in peace with their Israeli neighbours, the division between “good” and “bad” Palestinians is a liberal fantasy with murderous consequences.

In Gaza, despite the fact that the election there which brought Hamas to power was hardly free and fair, polling persistently reveals that a majority of Gazans support Hamas and that around three quarters of them support the killing of Israelis.

Once the scale of the Hamas pogrom became known, ordinary Gazan civilians were filmed in scenes of exited jubilation, handing out sweets to celebrate the murder of 1400 Israelis and kidnap of more than 230. Ordinary Gazan civilians were filmed spitting on and desecrating the bodies of the Israeli victims who had been dragged into Gaza and paraded around the streets. And ordinary Gazan civilians poured through the shattered boundary fence after Hamas had broken through and joined in the orgy of bloodletting and hostage-taking in the kibbutzim along the border.

Hamas may wear green bandanas and military fatigues while PA officials wear suits, but the PA’s aims and motivation are the same: the eradication of Israel and the waging of Islamic holy war against the Jewish people. 

The PA make this plain time and time again. Their officials and preachers incite holy war to “defend” the Al Aqsa mosque against “Jewish destruction” (the utterly false and murderous Muslim casus belli ever since the 1920s); the state of “Palestine” displayed on the PA’s maps and insignia occupies the whole of Israel; and their preachers and educational materials teach their children that their highest calling is to murder Jews and steal all their land. 

And these “good” Palestinians have been cheering on Hamas for its depraved atrocities and urging more of the same. As Nadav Shragai records in Israel Hayom, Abdel-Rahman abu Arab, a member of the Fatah in Jenin, described the morning of the massacre as a morning of joy, victory, and pride, and blessed the “heroic martyrs in Gaza”. 

Abbas Zaki, a member of Fatah's Central Committee who had already admitted that “the goal is the end of Israel,” praised Hamas for the attack and threatened to crush the skulls of all the Jews and Americans in the region. Jamal al-Huwail, a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council in the PA, promised a “big surprise” in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”) and hoped that the carnage in Israel’s border communities would be replicated there as well. 

Palestinian Media Watch has been documenting more such reactions among the “good” Palestinians championed by the Biden administration and “liberals” everywhere.  Mahmoud Al-Aloul, the deputy to Mahmoud Abbas in the PA’s dominant Fatah movement, exulted: 

The blood of the [Hamas] heroes will turn into a curse that will remove this occupier (i.e., Israel).

A senior Fatah official, Iyad Jarrad declared: 

We stand alongside our brothers in the Gaza Strip, because truly they are a source of pride, heroism, and honour for the Palestinian people.

While the Hamas pogrom was still taking place Fatah’s terror wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, rejoiced that the Hamas terrorists, were 

recording spectacular epics of heroism and sacrifice,

while Fatah member Raafat Alayan lauded 

the heroic operation that the resistance carried out on October 7. 

In Ramallah, Palestinians chanted:

If you have a rifle ... you should either kill a Jew or give it to Hamas. 

One of Fatah’s student factions, the Student Union Council and Fatah Shabiba Student Movement at Palestine Polytechnic University, issued the following “request” about the Jews: 

Allah, count them and kill them one by one, and do not leave even one of them. 

Palestinian Media Watch reports elsewhere:

At the beginning of this war, PMW documented that Fatah’s terror wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, called to kill Jews and “strike the sons of apes of pigs... slaughter everyone who is Israeli.” A few days ago, the PA instructed all preachers to teach worshippers in the mosques that extermination of Jews is an Islamic imperative. Abbas’ own adviser on religion has defined the war as a holy war: “Jihad.”

One faction of Fatah’s Student Movement praised Hamas murderers as “Allah’s roaring lions” and called for terror in the West Bank. Other factions have urged Palestinians in the disputed territories to emulate Hamas’ massacre and carry out terror attacks against Israelis.

Moreover, anyone who thinks only Hamas is depraved should think again. In Israel Hayom, Shragai records some of the Israeli Jews slaughtered by “ordinary” Palestinians not from Gaza but from the disputed territories:

Hallel Yaffa Ariel, a 13.5-year-old girl, was slaughtered in her bed in her home on the outskirts of Kiryat Arba with a knife. Ori Ansbacher, a 19-year-old, was raped and brutally murdered in Jerusalem, and then her body was mutilated. Her killer gloated in his trial that “raping and murdering a Jewish woman is the most important thing I have ever done”. The Fogel family from Itamar was murdered in their home shortly before Purim in 2011. Yoav, 10, and Elad, 4, were strangled and stabbed, and Ehud and Ruth, their parents, who tried to save their children, were stabbed repeatedly in their neck, throat, and abdomen. The three-month-old baby, Hadas who was found because she was crying, was also killed by the Nazis (now it is acceptable to call them that).

On one Saturday night, a similar massacre took place in the Salomon family's home in Halamish. Esther Horgen was killed with a rock that crushed her skull. Shalhevet Pas, who was less than a year old, was executed in her stroller by a sniper. Kim Levengrond Yehezkel was tied up in the Barkan industrial zone and was then shot to death.

Few of these massacres were even fully reported by western media, let alone provoking appropriate reactions of horror and revulsion. That’s because many of these victims were Israelis living in the disputed territories. For western “liberal” supporters of the Palestinian cause and the “two-state solution”, such people are “occupiers” and thus aren’t even to be considered properly human. 

Given this brutalised callousness, why should anyone be surprised by the “liberal” west’s current psychopathy moment?

Now people are asking whether Israel’s war in Gaza can be a “just war” if no settlement for post-war Gaza is being proposed. In The Times (£) of London this morning, Phil Collins argues that people like the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, are urging a degree of restraint on the Israelis not on the grounds that their war is wrong in intent but that it cannot hope to succeed. He writes: 

Prudence on this point is not just a problem after the fact. It is part of the moral case for the intervention itself. If an action has no feasible hope of success, the moral case for war is damaged… It is easy to see how the Israelis get into Gaza, but there is a fog shrouding how they get out. What plausible regime can Israel leave behind? 

The precise composition of Gaza’s administration after the war is indeed impossible to see at present. However, this is to seek an answer to the wrong question. The solution to Gaza depends on the solution to the Palestinian issue, and that depends in turn on identifying the problem correctly. This is not, as the west tells itself, a conflict over the division of the land. It is a century-old jihadi and genocidal attempt to drive out the Jews from the ancestral homeland to which they alone are legally, morally and historically entitled. 

This terrible conflict has been kept going by the west, which by supporting the Palestinian cause has indulged, funded, sanitised, legitimised and incentivised an agenda of annihilation, ethnic cleansing and murderous antisemitism. 

The problem of Gaza will only be solved, like the Palestinian issue itself, if the west stops supporting the Palestinian cause -- and start addressing this conflict not as a fight over the division of land but as a genocidal war of extermination against Israel and the Jewish people. 

Israel is fighting in Gaza not just against Hamas but against Iran. It is fighting a war for its existence against a genocidal enemy. That’s why this is a just war by Israel — indeed it could hardly be more justified. And the failure by the west to grasp how this has come about is why the west is now being convulsed by the forces of barbarism from within. 

For it’s impossible to exaggerate the extent to which support for the Palestinian cause has destroyed the west’s moral compass. It’s not just that it’s been supporting an agenda whose aim, whether people understand this or not, is the annihilation of Israel and the murder of Jews. It is that it has produced a diabolical and deranged inversion of morality, which views genocide against the Jews as resistance and Jewish resistance as genocide.

As a result, the west has the blood of countless Jewish and non-Jewish Israeli innocents on its hands — and unless it purges this poison from its culture, its hands will be stained by yet more.

Norway PM Complains Israel Isn’t Beheading and Raping ‘Palestinians’

OCT 30, 2023 8:30 AM BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

“International law stipulates that [the reaction] must be proportionate”

Never has the longtime criticism that Israel’s response to Muslim terrorism been as ghoulishly absurd as it is now.

Norway’s prime minister says the Israeli army’s response to the deadly Hamas attack that killed 1,400 people and saw over 230 abducted by terrorists has been disproportionate, and denounces a “catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Gaza.

“International law stipulates that [the reaction] must be proportionate. Civilians must be taken into account, and humanitarian law is very clear on this. I think this limit has been largely exceeded,” Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store says on NRK public radio.

Turning terrorism into a math problem never made any moral, logical or strategic sense.

How many Arab Muslim women should Israel rape to be proportionate?

How many children should it kidnap and hold hostage?

Wars should be fought and won against military personnel. When terrorists hide behind civilians, then they have to be fought and destroyed. And the civilian casualties are their fault and the fault of those who don’t evacuate.

There is no proportion in fighting an enemy who brutally tortures and massacres your women and children. You utterly defeat and destroy them instead of proportionally trading crimes for crimes and evils for evils until the UN and the prime minister of Norway approve.

Can the Prime Minister of a modern country really be that stupid? Don't answer that, I forgot for a moment that I'm a Canadian.
