Hamas has launched an industrial‑scale campaign of terror, intimidation, interrogation, and blackmail against thousands of Gazans it suspects of planning to join tomorrow’s June 26 demonstrations against its violent, authoritarian rule. Hospitals across Gaza have been turned into makeshift police stations, interrogation sites, and torture centers. Clan elders are being coerced into issuing statements. Hamas operatives are stealing phones and posting fabricated messages to sabotage the protests. Families are being threatened, people placed under house arrest, and Hamas’s al‑Qassam brigades (the same forces responsible for October 7) have been fully mobilized to reinforce police and intelligence units with explicit shoot‑to‑kill orders.

Meanwhile, the mainstream press is largely absent, apparently because Israel is not involved – so no Jews, no news. And the Western “pro‑Palestine” industry is either celebrating the electoral victories of pro‑Hamas, hard‑left candidates or actively smearing Gaza’s protesters as collaborators undermining the “resistance.” As for the UN, NGOs, and major human‑rights organizations: silence. Not a word for Palestinians risking their lives to say they are done with Hamas’s terror and rule.

This is what the abandonment of Palestinians in Gaza looks like. Shame on all who stay silent in the face of jihadi, ISIS‑like violence against the very people they claim to champion.

New secret recording tools are hopefully going to make it possible to begin exposing Hamas's fascism, terrorism, and death cultism against the Palestinian people in Gaza. In this clip, you see Hamas's death squads going through tent cities for the displaced and closing down small vendors who wouldn't pay taxes for the terror group. They are threatening violence, disappearance, torture, and “metal rods in legs and knees” for those who disobey their orders.

This is Hamas that the fascist elements of the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex celebrate and call “resistance.” This is what students at Columbia, Harvard, Yale, MIT, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Oxford, and Cambridge are calling “revolutionary” against “settler colonialism.” This is what some “progressives,” “leftists,” and members of the Democratic Party think are the “inevitable” result of Israel’s occupation, instead of recognizing Hamas for the criminal syndicate that it organically is. Supporting Hamas should no longer be a freedom of speech issue; it should actually become a punishable offense, just like someone supporting ISIS or al-Qaeda is treated as a vile creature, a terror suspect, a horrible individual, and a serious cause for concern.

I call on all governments, nations, activists, NGOs, philanthropists, and those able to access Gaza to flood the Strip with tools such as secret cameras, Starlink internet terminals, communications equipment, and other necessary gear to capture critical information, footage, and details happening inside Gaza. This will help inform the rest of the world about what’s really taking place in the coastal enclave and, most critically, the degree to which Hamas is a fascist Islamist entity bent on ISIS/Taliban level domination and killing of Palestinian people, just as much as it seeks to be a menace to Israelis.

Expose Hamas’s death squads in Gaza now!

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

It is not lost on me that Israel is in a war for its very survival, the equivalent of trying to achieve a Berlin airlift-type operation while the Nazis still control parts of Berlin. That is not an easy task.

During the month of August, the system has been working much better and food prices have dropped dramatically in Gaza.

I believe the meeting between the World Food Program and Prime Minister Netanyahu will make the system even more efficient in the future. I applaud the efforts of both parties to work in better coordination. As a result of this meeting, I expect better outcomes.

[Emily Damari @EmilyDamari1]

Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,

My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.

On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.

For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.

So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.

This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.

You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.

Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.

This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Al Amal Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, where some of my injured family members were treated from IDF bombardment last year, has shut down today after staff stopped working and locked the facility down. Want to know why? Because the medical personnel were protesting against Hamas members taking over the Surgery Ward/Division and hiding there to protect themselves, endangering the entire facility.

The staff made the courageous decision, despite the immense need for medical surgeries, to stop operating the hospital and protect the facility, their patients, and their lives, to send a clear signal to Hamas and other terrorists: You have no place in a hospital, and you’re not welcome here. This heroic action is yet another step that’s part of a growing trend of small but growing local resistance to Hamas’s fascism and terrorism, which Palestinians in Gaza hold responsible for their complete annihilation in a useless war meant to prolong the rule of an Iranian militia in the coastal enclave.

This has happened time and again in medical facilities across Gaza, something that is illegal and immoral. And while I don’t want Israeli bombardment and targeting of hospitals anywhere in Gaza, international humanitarian law clearly states that the misuse of a hospital/medical facility to gain a military advantage or to shield military objectives from attack removes the protection for hospitals under IHL. In other words, Hamas’s thuggery, criminality, and terrorism give the Israeli government the excuse to target medical establishments in Gaza, something that, in turn, worsens the suffering of the civilian population in the coastal enclave.

Remember this whenever you hear or see people chanting for the “resistance.” Remember this when you see headlines that absolve the terror group of any responsibility for the systematic destruction of Palestinian lives and hope under the pretense of “fighting the occupation.”

[Robert P. George @McCormickProf]

Every single one of us has a profound interest in government at every level strictly observing due process of law. All of us should be deeply concerned by any violation of anyone's due process rights, whether in criminal or administrative matters. We might like what government can more efficiently accomplish by disregarding proper legal procedures today. But we will rue the day we licensed such governmental misconduct when, tomorrow, a different government disregards legal procedures to achieve quickly results we abhor. The government in power, whatever it is, will not always be in power. There will "arise a pharaoh who remembereded not Joseph." If we want due process for ourselves and in defense of things we cherish and believe in, we must insist on due process for everyone.

The terrorists of Hamas murder an infant and a child, as well as a mother, in cold blood and with their bare hands.

The AP chooses to whitewash the baby killers, calling them “militants” rather than terrorists and claiming the children “died”—rather than were murdered—in captivity. Disgraceful.

Its government repaid him by abducting him, murdering him, and ransoming his body.

You are either a sick human being or blinded by propaganda if you can post the below. There is no limit on your potential casualties if you take hostages and hide them among a civilian population. There should be no concept of proportionality in rescuing innocent hostages, only best efforts to minimize civilian casualties. @rohantalbot

[Elisha Wiesel @ElishaWiesel]

My mother came to the US in the early 50s, after having been a refugee across Europe who narrowly avoided the Nazi death camps. She was a passionate Zionist, and upon seeing the racism that existed in the Jim Crow era, she quickly became a card-carrying NAACP member and began regularly attending civil rights protests.

Our family is betrayed beyond words that the NAACP is asking the United States government to end its military of support for Israel. The Jewish people are fighting for our lives against an enemy that has raped, butchered and murdered our family members, and has announced it's intention to do so again and again.

Shame, shame, shame on you @NAACP.
