[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

A network of Hamas operatives posing as “journalists,” calling itself the “Palestinian Journalism Network,” is now inciting against a friend of mine from Gaza who is a peace activist. These are the same supposed “journalists” who are publicly mourned when killed in Gaza, only to later be exposed as Hamas or Islamic Jihad members and quietly removed from press‑casualty lists. They are accusing her of working with Mossad and Israeli intelligence and attacking her husband as part of supposed espionage networks run by Jews, Zionists, and Israelis. Their death blow or coup de grâce was to accuse her of associating with me, “the notorious collaborator,” as they put it. Their article reads: “As part of her suspicious activities, Rawaa al‑Khazendar maintains contact with figures known for their pro‑Israel stances, including the operative Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a US‑based Palestinian activist notorious for inciting against the resistance and promoting normalization.”

Hilariously, I do not consider it an insult to oppose Hamas’s fascistic, ISIS‑like “resistance,” and I will never apologize for promoting tolerance, bridge‑building, peace, and normalization between Israelis, Jews, and Zionists on one side, and Gazans, Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims on the other. Eighty years of unbroken conflict have brought Palestinians nothing but devastation. A new beginning is long overdue.

Several points are obvious. A portion of Gaza’s “journalists” are so obviously Hamas operatives or affiliates. Speaking out against Hamas carries immense personal cost. And Western observers, whether journalists, activists, politicians, academics, or humanitarians, consistently misread Arab and Palestinian societies. They rely on crude binaries when evaluating anyone who claims to be “resistance,” press, or NGO staff (think Doctors Without Borders). Acknowledging this does not erase the fact that Israel has killed legitimate journalists in Gaza, whether accidentally or deliberately. But ignoring the deep rot inside Hamas‑controlled professional sectors is naïve, harmful, and dangerous.

Hamas will escalate its attacks on me now that I have dedicated a short book to exposing them. I guess that means let the war begin...

[Alexander Lambsdorff @GerAmbTLV]

After Yad Vashem, my second visit took me south. I wanted to see where things stand nearly 3 years after Hamas’ terror on October 7. As the rebuilding of the kibbutzim is getting underway, I also learned that dealing with the trauma caused by this horrible pogrom will take time.

Beni Dadosh was just five years old when his life in Tripoli, Libya, changed forever.

His family, father Yosef, mother Rachel, little brother Moshe, and baby sister Wassina, had lived in the city for generations.

In April 1941, during Shabbat candle-lighting, a bomb hit their home. It was the Germans. Beni’s brother and sister were killed instantly. He and his mother were wounded and fled in a donkey cart, only to watch his mother die in another bombing days later.

Beni survived by hiding with relatives, sometimes rolled up in a mat to escape Nazi searches.

After the war, things did not get better for Libya’s Jews. Riots in 1945 and 1948 destroyed homes and synagogues, and new laws stripped Jews of their rights.

By 1949, Beni and his father had no choice but to leave. Arab countries closed their doors, and Europe offered no refuge. Only Israel opened its gates, and Beni arrived in Jerusalem with nothing but memories and scars.

He grew up to help build some of the city’s most iconic buildings, raising a family and honoring the loved ones he lost.

I need everyone to share this.

The IDF found another massive number of Hezbollah weapons in storage sites in civilian buildings.

Hezbollah terrorists are using civilian buildings in Lebanon as weapons storage, just like Hamas does in Gaza.

For those who think Tucker and Candace are winning... 87 PERCENT of the TPUSA audience thinks Israel is an ally. One third said Israel is America's TOP ALLY.

This is the one issue Tucker talks about. They've convinced nobody.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

As I uncovered last year, this is what academic Randa Abdel-Fattah posted on 8 October 2023 immediately following the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel which involved the use of motorised paragliders.

I say to Jason Clare, the Prime Minister, Macquarie University and the Australian Research Council, the standard you walk by is the standard you set.

Australians will not tolerate your complicity in the demonisation of Jewish Australians.

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

The tragic Islamist terror attack against those at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia sadly should not come as a surprise to anyone. This is the direct result of the massive influx of Islamists to Australia. Their goal is not only the Islamization of Australia but the entire world—including the United States. Islamists and Islamism is the greatest threat to the freedom, security, and prosperity of the United States and the entire world. It is probably too late for Europe—and maybe Australia. It is not too late for the United States of America. But it soon will be. Thankfully, President Trump has prioritized securing our borders and deporting known and suspected terrorists, and stopping mass, unvetted migration that puts Americans at risk.

What happened in Sydney was not random violence, and it was not simply anti-semitism. It was Jihad. And it carries a stark warning for the world.

[Congressman Randy Fine @RepFine]

Whether it be in America, Australia, or Syria, Muslim terrorists are killing innocent people, and that is something we should all be concerned about.

The time for action is NOW.

6 steps the Government needs to implement now to stop antisemitism in Australia.

[Casey Babb @DrCaseyBabb]

If you aren't aware of what's going on right now, let me break it down for you. Jews worldwide are being hunted down and killed. It's only day three of Hanukkah, and already we've seen:

1. Jews murdered by a jihadi father-son duo in Australia that seriously wounded many people, including my friend @Ostrov_A (thinking of you, brother).

2. Students at @BrownUniversity were murdered in a class being taught by Rachel Friedberg, a Jewish professor who leads the school's Judaic Studies program.

3. A Jewish professor of nuclear physics at M.I.T. was murdered in his home today.

4. Orthodox Jews in New York were violently assaulted on the subway.

5. Violent Palestinian protestors disrupted a peaceful Hanukkah celebration in Amsterdam. Dozens were arrested after police had to physically surround families celebrating the holiday to protect them.

6. A Jewish family in California had their home hit by gunfire because they had Hanukkah decorations up. One of the criminals shouted, "Free Palestine."

7. An Islamic terrorist attack has been foiled in Poland at a Christmas market.

8. An Islamic terrorist attack has been foiled in Germany at a Christmas market.

9. A Palestinian terrorist attack was foiled in California.

10. France has cancelled its NYE celebrations because of the terrorist threat level.

11. Canada's Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre has said that a terrorist attack in Canada is now "a realistic possibility."

I've been studying terrorism for 20 years, and I've never seen things this bad. The West is under attack – full stop. The question now is, what the hell are we going to do about it?

[Senator The Hon. Bridget McKenzie @senbmckenzie]

The attack on the Jewish community in Sydney was a horrific act of pure evil.

We need to call it for what it is: Islamic Terrorism.

This was targeted, calculated and vicious.

My heart goes out to all Australians affected by this act of terror.

The Bondi terror attack on the Jewish community will change Australia forever.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

Honoured to attend the Caulfield Shule last night and stand in solidarity with the Jewish community at this time of unfathomable grief and tragedy.

The Bondi massacre is the worst terrorist attack on Australian soil.

Trauma has turned to anger.

The Prime Minister and his government have failed Jewish Australians, and our nation.

Anthony Albanese promised antisemitism would not find “so much as a foothold” in our country. He lied.

For more than two years, he has tolerated the extremist protestors and hate preachers.

He refused to shut down antisemitic hate in our universities and arts bodies.

He failed to toughen visa screening and deport antisemitic non-citizens, rolling out the red carpet for high risk Gazans and ISIS brides.

He stood silent in the face of calls for extremist groups such as Hizb-ut Tahrir to be declared terrorist organisations.

He prematurely recognised a Palestinian state which rewarded Hamas and betrayed Israel.

He turned his back on Australia’s antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal and still refuses to respond to or implement her urgent recommendations.

He is now using gun reform to cover up inaction on the cancer of antisemitism which has fuelled extremist Islamic ideology in parts of our country.

Prime Minister, words are not enough.
