The reason this video of a family being murdered in their own living room exists is because Palestinians used the victims’ phones to live stream their deaths to their families and friends.

I saw an original video a day or two after October 7, when the swathe of video evidences was being poured online and the platforms hadn’t yet caught up with flagging and blocking them for violence and gore violations. I think it was this family’s video.

The daughter is shot in the head as she sits next to her little brother, who completely loses it.

As the mother struggles to calm her son, fearful they will tire of his screaming and kill him too, the captors start negotiating with the father to kill him out of sight of his family, in a macabre gesture of mercy.

Told that they will shoot him now, in front of his wife and son, ultimately he yields. He is taken outside and shot.

That video and the 12 year old girl paraded through cheering Palestinian crowds as blood soaks the crotch of her shorts from her repeated rapes…those are seared into my brain.

Fvck the Islamic regime and anytime who supports their mass-murdering cult.

As always, Zohran Mamdani believes that being mayor of a city makes him an enforcer of a delusional, imaginary version of “international law” that supersedes the country he actually lives in. Just atrocious, dangerously idiotic nonsense.

This is Omer (2 years old) and his twin sisters Arbel and Shahar (5 and a half) Siman Tov.

They were burned alive by Hamas on Oct 7th.

Both parents, Johnny and Tamar were killed too.

“They’re here, they’re burning us” - one of Johnny’s last texts to his sister Ranae.

Their grandmother, Carol Siman Tov was also executed in her own home that day too.

Just in case you forgot why Israel is fighting this war.

DSA Co-chair Gustavo Gordillo just explained to Martha MacCallum that his family fled Peru during the violence of the Maoist Shining Path to escape the ravages of the "imposition of capitalism and American imperialism" . . . so they came to the United States...

“Maybe they shouldn’t have been in that business in the first place.”

That’s how the co-chair of New York’s Socialist Party responded to concerns that a state-run grocery store could force a locally owned business to close.

So much for the “warmth of collectivism.”

What's particularly incredible about this claim is that you had me on RISING more than once to discuss stories I wrote about censorship of the left. Recognize the person below? That's you!

New York didn’t lose its millionaires by accident. It taxed, regulated, and chased them away.

The result?

The largest millionaire exodus in America, and $10 billion less in annual tax revenue.

I still can’t believe this was allowed to happen.

[Mark Zlochin - מארק זלוצ'ין༝ @MarkZlochin]

Something I missed when I first watched the video two days ago: they added English subtitles for everything except the very last part, where a member of the local security team says:

“The police have already come across you here, right, buddy? And what did they tell you? That you’re not allowed to be here, right? It’s a closed military zone. Right? You just don’t give a fuck about anyone, do you?”

Funny how that’s precisely the segment they chose not to translate into English.

Just an innocent coincidence, I’m sure.

Joe Biden’s DOJ not only tapped my phone; I just learned they ILLEGALLY obtained my texts with members of President Trump’s administration.

Everyone involved needs to be PROSECUTED

December 2025: Jack Smith swore under oath that he didn't spy on text messages belonging to members of Congress.

Today: New evidence confirms he spied on dozens of members of Congress, myself included.

This is a blatant abuse of power, and exactly what our Founders warned about.

Ro Khanna’s Dishonest Israel Stunt

By @havivrettiggur

Khanna and his group were not “detained,” as Khanna claimed. Detention means you can’t leave. As far as we can tell from available accounts and footage, nothing stopped them from turning around and leaving the way they came. The area was believed to require permission to enter, and Khanna’s group had not coordinated with the IDF, the Israeli police, or anyone else that anyone has been able to find who might have facilitated a U.S. congressman’s visit to the area.

Within about 20 minutes—this, according to the account by Khanna’s own team—an IDF patrol arrived and asked them to wait for the police. Police arrived roughly 30 minutes later—again, according to Khanna’s own team.

In other words, the congressman, after refusing to coordinate his visit, was delayed for about an hour before being allowed to enter the area in question. But if you listen to Khanna, it was “an unprecedented, illegal detention of Americans by a foreign country.”

Could there still be some damning evidence out there that will back up the substance of Khanna’s claims of violence, threats, and “detention”? Of course there could. But it’s been quite a few days now. No such footage has emerged. Given reports that the congressman’s entourage included a professional photographer and that the Israeli activist had a bodycam, it seems reasonable to assume that the lack of evidence strongly suggests it doesn’t exist.

[Batya Ungar-Sargon @bungarsargon]

Ro Khanna, Graham Platner's most stalwart defender, funded a Platner rally from his own campaign funds after the physical abuse allegations emerged. Now that Platner is an accused rapist, Khanna is desperately trying to change the subject with—you guessed it—Israel!

[Haviv Rettig Gur @havivrettiggur]

Alas, Mr. Congressman, I'm not lying. And I started this line of questioning assuming you were telling the truth. I've written long essays on extremist Israeli violence in the West Bank. I know it happens. I was ready, at first glance, to believe it happened here. But it didn't. This wasn't Israeli violence. This was agitprop for your American audiences.

I said explicitly that I'm not familiar with the details of that area. It took a lot of effort for JPost to find out what it found out -- which was that it was a closed military zone only recently opened.

But if you'd coordinated your visit with Israeli authorities, this would have been sorted out from the start. Those soldiers weren't angry or aggressive, they seemed mostly just confused about the status of the area and how to handle your visit.

Because, you know, there was no coordination.

JPost suggests all that in the article you yourself shared.

And what of the violence? Your group had cameras -- a professional photographer and at least one bodycam -- yet you've produced no evidence that I've seen of the violence you claim to have experienced.

Remember that you claimed the violence was sufficient to demand that Netanyahu order the prosecution of those soldiers.

I've seen that sort of violence before; if you produce that footage, I'll join your demand for prosecution. That's not rhetoric. I really will, wholeheartedly.

But if you don't, I think it's safe to assume you blew up a small inconvenience caused by your own refusal to talk to Israelis.

In a similar vein, you used the word "detained" as if you were unlawfully held against your will -- and hide behind its second meaning, that you were a bit delayed in driving forward into the area. The first is on the spectrum of kidnapping crimes, the second is the sort of problem you'd encounter at the entrance to a federal building as you search your pockets for an ID. Which was it?

Anyway, you were angling for some domestic political brownie points, and congratulations, you got 'em.
