Every war and the loss of every innocent life is a tragedy and a stain on our collective consciousness. However, those who constantly accuse Israel of committing war crimes often seem to forget how the numbers pale in comparison to recent wars carried out by its Arab neighbours.

I received this testimony from a Muslim cleric in Gaza, a former imam who broke with Hamas and its jihadist Islamist ideology and is now displaced in Deir al-Balah. He describes how Hamas destroyed an entire generation during its 2-decade rule by radicalizing children from a young age through extremist camps and narratives that glorified violence, hatred, and fanaticism, the same worldview on display on October 7.

As I have noted repeatedly, a growing number of Gazans are drawing a direct line between two generations of indoctrination, the atrocities of October 7, and the devastation that followed in Gaza. These anti-Hamas voices reject the "resistance" narrative and recognize an obvious reality: rebuilding Gaza requires de-radicalization alongside de-militarization. Their ranks are growing. If acknowledged, supported, and nurtured, this movement could become one of the most consequential forces shaping Gaza's future.

Fascinating—

Gaza Islamic cleric (who has broken away from Hamas, and now opposes them) warns that October 7 attack was a product of Hamas' ideological indoctrination of young people during their rule of Gaza.

Many Muslims are recognising this jihadi ideology is poison.

Aterrador.

El líder de Hamás, Mahmoud al-Zahar, reveló que el verdadero objetivo de la causa palestina es destruir el cristianismo y establecer un califato global.

«Crear un mundo donde el judaísmo y el cristianismo no existan.»

Palestinian dissident Amin Abed (who was violently attacked by masked Hamas enforcers in 2024) discusses indoctrination camps in Gaza and how teachers, abetted by horrific schoolbooks, tried to raise an entire generation to "embrace death over life".

Almost exactly a year ago to the day, I uncovered that a dozen of the most viral images presented as evidence of famine in Gaza in fact showed children with unrelated medical issues, including cystic fibrosis and autoimmune conditions.

The investigation earned me death threats, calls for me to be tried at The Hague, and jabs by a high-profile comedian on national TV—despite the fact that we’ve had to issue exactly zero corrections on our story.

Our point was simply to tell readers that if there was a famine in Gaza, photographs of these children were not evidence of it.

What is indisputable today is that there is currently no famine in Gaza.

That is the major finding from a UNICEF-led team that recently produced the most comprehensive and robust nutrition survey of Gaza since the war began.

The survey found that less than a year after a famine was declared in Gaza, the territory has one of the lowest malnutrition rates in the region. A recovery that swift is not just “miraculous,” in the words of a malnutrition researcher I spoke with—it raises questions in and of itself. Questions like: How can a war-torn territory go from famine to showing some of the lowest rates of child malnutrition in the region in less than a year? 

In my report today for @TheFP, I investigate that question, its implications, and what it means for the debate over the official decision to classify a famine in Gaza still raging 12 months on.

Did you know that Gaza was under Egyptian military control from 1948 to 1967.

No one called it “occupied,” no one demanded a Palestinian state there, and Egypt never offered the residents citizenship or independence.

[Ella Ke @EllaTravelsLove]

Hi @grok, is it accurate to say that the PLO was established in 1964 with the aim of destroying the State of Israel in its entirety, and that Article 24 explicitly stated that it had no claim to Judea and Samaria (aka the West Bank), which was then under Jordanian control, or to Gaza, which was under Egyptian control, because its primary objective was the elimination of Jewish sovereignty?

[Grok @grok]

Israel.

Arab citizens of Palestinian origin there hold full citizenship, vote in national elections, serve in the Knesset and judiciary, and share the same legal civil rights as other citizens. Jordan grants citizenship to most of its Palestinian population, but as a monarchy with more limited political freedoms. Lebanon and Syria keep most as stateless refugees with severe work, property, and residency limits.

[Craig Considine @CraigCons]

One of Gaza’s bravest voices - the man who co-organized the 2019 “We Want to Live” street protests against Hamas’s death culture - just delivered an unflinching demand: Hamas’s ideology must be eradicated the same way Nazism was. Wipe it out completely.

His vision is clear:

Demilitarize Gaza first.

Then deradicalize.

And finally rebuild a people capable of critical thinking and tolerance.  

The UAE, as Moumen notes, proves it is possible.

Watch this. Share it.

The next generation of Gazans - and the entire region - depends on it.

[Dalia Ziada @daliaziada]

My entire world collapsed when I publicly spoke against Hamas' terrorism on October 7. My Egyptian, Arab, and Muslim people, who are so blinded by Jew-hatred and so proud of supporting Hamas terrorism, tried to kill or imprison me for doing so. But my Jewish friends miraculously saved me.

Every single day since then, God shows me that I made the right decision.

Many thanks to @TsipiBen and @Or_Shaked for this great profile in the @IsraelHayomEng newspaper.

Norway’s strange obsession with Hamas: Newly uncovered documents from Hamas’s archives show that in 2021, NOREF, a Norwegian government‑funded and directed organization, sent a delegation to Gaza to meet senior Hamas officials, with more visits planned. NOREF has publicly confirmed the meeting but offered no details on the previously secret effort, which aimed to help Hamas open channels to European governments and break its isolation within the EU.

Their main interlocutor was Bassem Naim, senior Hamas leader, foreign‑relations chief and political bureau member, the same figure who launched a campaign against me three months ago for opposing Hamas’s targeting of Gazans and for advocating safe, Hamas‑free communities across the Israeli‑controlled “Yellow Line.” He accused me of promoting a “Zionist project to eliminate the resistance and displace Gaza’s residents,” triggering waves of attacks against me from Hamas spokespeople, activists, and online personalities. That is who Norwegian officials met with in secret. According to the documents, Naim told them that Hamas’s relationship with Norway is “great and historic,” marked by “mutual respect.”

Norway is one of the few Western countries that does not legally classify Hamas as a terrorist organization, even though Norwegian officials routinely describe Hamas as terrorists in public statements. In practice, Hamas is banned in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, but not in Norway.

This revelation fits a long‑running pattern: Oslo has kept the door open for Hamas and its sympathizers under the banner of “diplomatic engagement,” despite producing no meaningful results since this policy began after Hamas’s 2006 electoral win. Instead, Norway poured billions into Gaza through humanitarian and NGO channels that Hamas routinely exploited, while allowing “pro‑resistance” sentiments to flourish across Norwegian society and its pro‑Palestine ecosystem.

It also helps explain why Norway’s security services behaved like a miniature Gestapo toward me last week at Arendalsuka, a political festival supposedly dedicated to open debate, when I was there promoting a genuinely pro‑Palestine, anti‑Hamas perspective grounded in my new book, Hamas and Its Two Million Hostages.

“Please kill our children,” says Hamas: Over the past two days, Hamas channels and pro‑“resistance” activists have circulated a disturbing video from Gaza: a child carrying an RPG, firing it at an Israeli tank, and being celebrated as a “martyr” after being killed during the “al‑Aqsa Flood” war following October 7. The ISIS‑style production uses dramatic music, slick cuts, and a heroic narrative around Suhaib Abu Labbad, a boy from al‑Zeitoun who lost half his immediate family in Israeli airstrikes in 2023, presented as the justification for his recruitment into Hamas’s al‑Qassam Brigades.

What is uniquely sick and dehumanizing is how child abuse is framed as heroism, nationalism, and faith. Instead of helping this child process and work through unimaginable trauma (rooted in Hamas’s fascistic decision to attack Israel on October 7), the narrative is flipped. Suhaib is cast as one of many willing child fighters, radicalized and pushed toward suicidal “resistance” as his only meaningful future. This is the classic cycle of hatred, indoctrination, and revenge made literal. We hear constantly about Hamas replenishing its ranks with children; now they are advertising it. The use of child soldiers, routine for Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), is a war crime, a form of child abuse, and a marker of cultural depravity and decay. Suhaib should have been provided with love, comfort, support, and warmth to fill the voids in his life; his family would still be alive had Hamas simply kept its terrorists at home on October 7.

What is excruciatingly painful is that as Hamas & PIJ are becoming more blatant in their propaganda, the Western-based “pro-Palestine” movement is failing to acknowledge and register how horrendous their beloved “resistance” group has been toward Palestinians. Hamas is effectively inviting Israel to target more children, and implicitly admitting that among the 20,000 children it claims were killed in Gaza, some number were used as combatants, erasing the very innocence it insists the world recognize.

Ask yourself why Hamas is now choosing to showcase child soldiers, and what that reveals about everything you think you knew about the war after the October 7 massacre.

This is awkward for Israel haters. When a UN (no friend of Israel) organization (UNESCO) debunks the lie that Israel was "starving kids" it's worth a read. Israel genocidal? They botched it again!

@VerminusM One can try and rationalize it all day long, but at the end of the day, it is my firm belief that the deeper truth underpinning such longstanding continuous hate across time, geography and different cultures is that it is spiritual.

@JosepBorrellF Thank God you are now far removed from any position of power in Spain and in Europe. Imagine having a foreign minister completely incapable of rhetorically defending his own nation’s borders and then complaining about those willing to defend theirs! History itself will judge you.
