Gaza woman, Tahrir Hasanein, was seized by Hamas and interrogated, beaten, tortured, bloodied, and denied medical care inside Al‑Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al‑Balah. Her “crime”: allegedly communicating with the Palestinian Authority. It’s yet another example, one of countless, of Hamas converting Gaza’s hospitals into interrogation sites, detention rooms, and makeshift intelligence hubs, all inside facilities funded by the international community, the UN, Western taxpayers, and charity donors. Hamas must be removed from Gaza’s hospitals, and civilians must be freed from Hamas-controlled territory. The silence from institutions and commentators who know exactly what is happening is disgraceful. The evidence of Gazans being brutalized inside medical facilities is overwhelming.

Swing and a miss! The @nytimes headline writer really botched this one: the first signed agreement between #Lebanon and #Israel in 43 years and perhaps the most significant accord between the two countries since their armistice 77 years ago is just a "small step"?

Wow!
By opposing the Lebanon-Israeli Agreement, Ben Gvir is on the same exact page with Hezbollah (and Randa Slim, Michael Young, Diana Moukalled...) as well as Trita Parsi, Rola Gibreal... etc.

She doesn’t know about the rockets. She won’t acknowledge the rape. She can’t look a survivor in the eye.

So what exactly is Reem Alsalem the UN’s expert in? Because it isn’t violence against women. Ask Ilana Gritzewsky, who stood in that chamber as living proof and got silence in return.

People keep asking how the UN could sit in silence while a survivor described being raped in captivity.

The honest answer: this is what the UN is now. An institution that hands “human rights expert” badges to people who deny atrocities, as long as the victims are the right kind of victim. The moral authority is gone. All that’s left is the letterhead.

Make sure everyone knows.

Right this moment, across the Gaza Strip, Hamas’s police, intelligence units, and al‑Qassam Brigade militias are fully deployed to crush the June 26 protests planned by civilians who want to voice their opposition to the group’s authoritarian, fascistic rule. In a new escalation, armed operatives from the Iranian‑funded Palestinian Islamic Jihad have joined Hamas, positioning fighters across Gaza to rapidly arrest, shoot, or disperse any gathering that could turn into a demonstration. Even more alarming, a national security source tells me that four days ago, communications were intercepted from Lebanon and the Islamic Republic of Iran advising Hamas on how to deter Gaza’s population and how to confront protesters with a “low visible footprint” once demonstrations begin.

Hamas has also unleashed hundreds of fake “journalists,” tribal figures, social‑media “influencers,” humanitarian “activists,” and other regime‑aligned voices to denounce the June 26 protests as “suspicious” and “Israeli-backed.” Given the scale of this state‑sanctioned terror apparatus, it would be surprising if large numbers of Gazans manage to demonstrate as originally envisioned. Yet a handful of activists with almost no resources have already rattled Hamas’s entire security infrastructure, and the broader “Axis of Resistance” so loudly celebrated by many in the Western “pro‑Palestine” movement. That alone exposes just how many supposed allies of the Palestinian people are, in truth, nowhere to be found when Gazans stand up to their actual oppressors.

This is the “Al Jazeera cameraman” Israel killed over the weekend.

Maybe he just didn’t tell his employer he had a side hustle as a Hamas sniper?

[The Spectator @spectator]

Once again, a United Nations body has accused Israel of the gravest crimes imaginable: this time, the deliberate murder of children. And once again, when you actually open the report, the evidence simply isn’t there.

The UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry has published a 94-page paper claiming Israel “deliberately targeted” Palestinian children during the war in the Gaza Strip – language implying war crimes and crimes against humanity. These are among the most serious charges in international law. So you would expect, at minimum, one clearly documented case: a soldier who identified a child as a child, and killed that child for no reason other than that they were a child. After 94 pages, the Commission cannot produce one.

Dear U.S., UN, Western, and humanitarian officials and leaders: Please visit the Al‑Ahli Hospital in Gaza City and see the situation firsthand. Hamas’s intelligence operatives, internal security, and al‑Qassam fighters are using parts of the complex to interrogate and torture anyone they suspect of supporting the upcoming June 26 anti‑Hamas protests. Medical facilities in Gaza are not meant to be sanctuaries for Hamas. They are provided with necessary supplies and equipment, funded with Western taxpayer dollars, to treat civilians, not to provide cover for an Islamist organization that the international community designates as a terrorist group. Get them out of the hospital. Stop allowing a place meant for healing to be turned into a site of fear and abuse.

Exposing Hamas’s Use of a Primary Gaza Hospital for Repression: Hamas’s intelligence and internal security services are in full fascist mode across the Gaza Strip, beating, interrogating, and threatening anyone they suspect may join the June 26 protests against their rule. A few friends of mine in Gaza City have already been summoned. They were told explicitly by al‑Qassam Brigades operatives, Hamas police, and internal security officers that if they post anything supportive of the protests on Facebook or offer any help to protestors, they will be executed under “revolutionary conditions” and treated as collaborators with Israel; no trial, no process, just immediate death.

And where were some of my friends interrogated, threatened, and placed on house arrest? Inside Al‑Ahli Arab Hospital or the Ma'amadani/Baptist Hospital in Gaza’s Zeitoun neighborhood. Yes, the same hospital that grabbed global headlines early in the war after a faulty Islamic Jihad rocket fell and caused an explosion, which killed hundreds of people. That hospital is now a central hub for Hamas’s intelligence, militancy, and internal repression.

This is criminal on every level. And it raises a basic question: if overwhelming, well‑corroborated evidence shows Hamas using Gaza’s medical facilities to hide among civilians and enforce its armed rule, violating the October 2025 ceasefire, why have the UN and international medical and humanitarian NGOs and charities remained silent? Why has no one suspended operations until Hamas withdraws from the hospitals they support?

I want every follower and every official who sees this to contact and tag the World Health Organization, UNICEF, UNRWA, the United Nations, Doctors Without Borders, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and any organization supplying Gaza’s hospitals. Demand that they confront Hamas’s presence in the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital/ Ma'amadani / Baptist Hospital and every facility they fund, staff, and sustain. Even though the Episcopal Church/Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem manages Al‑Ahli, every medical facility in Gaza depends on international aid, equipment, and expertise, during the war and even more so since the ceasefire.

It is time to get Hamas out of Gaza’s hospitals. It is time to support Gazans risking their lives to protest the Islamist fascists who have destroyed their society for twenty years. And it is time for the international community to finally recognize that Hamas cannot be trusted to uphold any agreement. The group is committed to a last‑stand ideology – much like Hitler in his bunker – regardless of how many civilians in Gaza suffer or die as a result.

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

This is what Israeli families fear: just 4 miles from their homes, a massive underground terrorist command center was discovered.

The border with Lebanon isn't just a line on a map—it's where Hezbollah terrorists prepare to murder Israelis.

This Hezbollah terror tunnel, less than four miles from Israel, was found filled with explosives, missiles, and four launch shafts aimed directly at Israel.

Israel has a duty to protect its citizens from terrorists.

Well folks, we’ve reached the stage of antisemitism where Jews are being publicly barred from businesses.

A coffee shop in Mamdani’s New York City told Jewish Congressman Dan Goldman he wasn’t welcome in their store.

They posted: “See, here at Poetica, we don’t serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between. Too bad we didn’t recognize you right away, or we would have turned you away. We issued you a refund—we don’t need your money (it’s probably coming from AIPAC anyways). Enjoy your loss on Tuesday. Don’t ever come to Poetica.”

U.N. Hate Exposed: UNRWA student says he was taught the “right of return” — which for them means the dismantling of Israel by terrorism as used on October 7th. The solution, he says, is “resistance and jihad in the path of Allah. We’ll be among the martyrs, if Allah wills it.”

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

When asked about his “monsters” speech, Mamdani shows he understands that be could have used more specific language to make his point clear.

So why doesn’t he apologize?

This vagueness is EXACTLY what Jews are so frightened by.

We can disagree on policy, but not on the basic principle that language is important. When used improperly, it becomes dangerous.

When you use a vague sentence filled with words like “dark” and even “monsters,” yes, that incites hate that gets Jews killed.

Mamdani’s response proves he knows how to articulate his point more clearly.

He just chose not to.

[The Times of Israel @TimesofIsrael]

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Thursday night described the American Israel Public Affairs Committee as “monsters,” accusing the organization of spending “millions in dark money” to “turn us against one and other” and of fearing democracy and an “end to genocide and Netanyahu’s wars.”

Mamdani alleged that AIPAC moves “millions in dark money to accomplish a single goal, to preserve their power so that they can turn us against one another instead of our leaders turning towards the moral change we all know to be necessary.”

Mamdani made his remarks at a rally headlined by Sen. Bernie Sanders ahead of Tuesday’s Democratic primaries.

Turning to the local races, Mamdani voiced support for State Assembly member Claire Valdez for her opposition to Israel. “When other Democrats chose to look the other way as Netanyahu committed war crimes, Claire didn’t just name the genocide; she organized for a ceasefire.”

On the same day as Mamdani’s remarks, Forrest Kendall Pemberton, 27, of Gainesville, Florida, was indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly trying to carry out a mass shooting against AIPAC employees in Plantation, Florida.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

I asked American students why they don’t protest when women are whipped and shot in Iran and Afghanistan.

The answers expose a contradiction nobody wants to talk about.

We must change the narrative so the younger generation stops lending cover to Hamas, Hezbollah, Taliban and the Islamic Republic. That's why I choose to travel and speak to students face-to-face. I listen first, without judgment. Then I share what it means to live under Sharia law not as an abstraction, but as a lived reality.

Truth is not a phobia. Calling out the whipping of women is not hate. Staying silent about it is.
