21 kids from 13 families without parents after Hamas attack, says Welfare Ministry-Figure includes 16 cases in which both parents were murdered by terrorists, remaining kids had one parent killed while other was kidnapped or still missing-By ToI Staff 23 October 2023, 2:23 am 0

The Welfare Ministry on Sunday announced that at least 21 children in 13 families were left without parents due to Hamas’s onslaught against southern Israel on October 7.The figure includes 16 cases in which both parents were killed, while the remaining children had one parent killed while the other was taken captive or has been missing since the deadly assault two weeks ago.The children include a 4-year-old girl held hostage in Gaza. Another young girl’s mother was murdered and her father is being held captive, the ministry added.Social workers with the ministry were working to identify all such children and provide them and their guardians with all the resources necessary.“The fact that so many children are victims of the brutal Hamas attack turns the stomach,” Welfare Minister Yaakov Margi said in a statement.He pledged the state would look out for these children “for their entire lives and will not spare any resource in helping them rehabilitate.”Since the October 7 massacre by Hamas, some 200,000 Israelis have been internally displaced. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office said Sunday that about half of the 200,000 were instructed to evacuate from 105 communities near the Gaza and Lebanon borders in the south and north, while half left areas close to the front of their own volition.Israel is more than two weeks into a war with Hamas after the Iran-backed terror group’s murderous assault on the country, in which some 2,500 terrorists streamed into Israel by land, sea, and air, killing some 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and injuring thousands more. The terror group and other factions dragged at least 212 of all ages into Gaza.Israel says its campaign in Gaza is aimed at destroying Hamas’s infrastructure, and has vowed to eliminate the entire terror group, which rules the Strip. It says it is targeting all areas where Hamas operates, while seeking to minimize civilian casualties.In the north, Hamas ally Hezbollah, also an Iranian proxy, has fired dozens of anti-tank guided missiles, rockets, and mortars at Israeli military positions and Israeli towns since the October 7 Hamas onslaught, while also sending gunmen — some affiliated with Palestinian terror groups — to infiltrate into northern Israel.Several drones have also been intercepted over northern Israel.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hezbollah on Sunday that it would be “making the mistake of its life” if it decided to enter the war.

Large crowds in London, Berlin, demand release of hostages, denounce Hamas evil-British Chief Rabbi Mirvis says that out of the 2 sides to the war, ‘one is good, and the other is evil’; pro-Palestinian rallies held in Paris, Brussels and other locations-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 10:05 pm 0-OCT 22,23

Thousands of people joined vigils in Berlin, London, and elsewhere on Sunday to oppose antisemitism, support Israel, and demand the release of hostages held by Hamas and other terror groups in Gaza.Meanwhile, in Paris and other cities, thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators demanded a ceasefire and relief for people in Gaza.Some of those who gathered in front of Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate carried Israeli flags or posters with photos of some of the more than 200 people seized as hostages during Hamas’s murderous October 7 rampage in southern Israel.“It is unbearable that Jews are living in fear again today — in our country of all places,” Germany’s President Frank-Walter Steinmeier told the crowd, estimated at 20,000 by organizers and at 10,000 by police. “Every single attack on Jews, on Jewish institutions, is a disgrace for Germany. Every single attack fills me with shame and anger.”Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz inaugurated a new synagogue in the eastern city of Dessau and said he was “outraged” by the upsurge in antisemitism since the conflict began.Several buildings in Berlin where Jews live have had the Star of David painted on doors and walls, and assailants threw two Molotov cocktails at a synagogue in Berlin last week.“Here in Germany, of all places,” Scholz said, vowing that “our ‘never again’ must be unbreakable.”At a vigil in London’s Trafalgar Square, some of the many thousands of participants held posters bearing pictures of hostages and the missing, and chanted, “Bring them home.”Organizers said that there was a police presence as well as guards from the Community Security Trust (CST) at the rally.Speakers from both the UK’s governing Conservative Party and the opposition Labour Party addressed the crowd. Communities Secretary Michael Gove said Hamas’s massacre was an act of “unparalleled evil and barbarism.”“We must stand together against it. We must stand for life. We must bring the hostages home,” he said.“It’s at times such as this that we discover who our true friends are,” Britain’s Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said at the rally. He thanked the royal family, the government and opposition parties for their support for Israel, and cast those who remained silent as supporting terror.“Sometimes, we hear reference to both sides or two sides. But we ourselves know there are indeed two sides — one is good, and the other is evil. Israel uses her forces in order to protect its citizens, while Hamas uses its citizens to protect its forces,” he added.War erupted after Hamas’s October 7 massacre, which saw some 2,500 terrorists burst across the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip by land, air and sea, killing some 1,400 people and seizing some 212 hostages of all ages under the cover of a deluge of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns and cities.The vast majority of those killed as gunmen seized border communities were civilians — men and women, including the elderly, and children. Entire families were executed in their homes, and over 260 were slaughtered at an outdoor festival, many amid horrific acts of brutality by the terrorists.Also Sunday, hundreds of people rallied outside the United Nations offices in Geneva to demand the hostages’ release. Waving mostly Israeli, but also Swiss and German flags, the demonstrators held aloft signs that read “Children aren’t bargaining chips” or t-shirts with the words “#SetThemFree.”Elsewhere in Switzerland, about 4,500 pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched in the city of Lausanne, police said.The war has raised tensions worldwide, leaving Jewish and Muslim communities feeling vulnerable. London’s Metropolitan Police Force says it has seen a 13-fold upsurge in reports of antisemitic offenses in October compared to last year.Reports of anti-Muslim crimes have more than doubled.Sunday’s rallies came a day after tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators – 100,000 by police estimates – marched through the British capital to demand Israel stop its bombardment of Gaza, launched with the aim of toppling Hamas following its massacre of Israelis.Israel says its offensive is aimed at destroying Hamas’s infrastructure, and it has vowed to eliminate the entire terror group, which rules the Strip. It says it is targeting all areas where Hamas operates while seeking to minimize civilian casualties.The campaign in Gaza has killed more than 4,600 Palestinians, mainly civilians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and reduced swaths of the densely populated territory to ruins. The Hamas-stated toll cannot be independently verified and is believed to include Hamas terrorists and gunmen, as well as victims of hundreds of misfired rockets that landed in the Strip, including a deadly blast at a Gaza City hospital on October 17 caused by an Islamic Jihad misfired missile aimed at Israel, which Hamas has blamed on Israel. Israel produced evidence showing the blast was caused by a Gazan rocket that fell short. The United States, citing its own data, as well as many top news outlets that looked into the matter, have endorsed the Israeli account.In addition, Israel has said that its forces killed about 1,500 Palestinian terrorists in Israel, following the October 7 invasion.In France, which has Europe’s largest Jewish and Muslim communities, thousands of demonstrators gathered in Paris on Sunday to demand that Israel stop its strikes on Gaza. Police estimated 15,000 people took part.Some waved red, green, and black Palestinian flags and clambered onto the Republique Plaza’s central statue. A banner read “Stop the massacre in Gaza. France must call for an immediate ceasefire.”Organizers — including Palestinian and Muslim groups, peace associations, workers’ and students’ unions, and leftist political parties — condemned Hamas’s targeting of civilians, urged the terror group to release all hostages, and called for an end to Israel’s assault and a “total and immediate ceasefire” in Gaza.Sarah Alaoui, a 23-year-old French student of Moroccan descent, said she came to “support the Palestinian people who have suffered too much for too long.”“Humanitarian aid is not enough. Palestinians need to be able to live a decent life and have their own state,” she said.Nicole Pomier, a 49-year-old Parisian and longtime activist, said she was relieved the protest had not been banned by authorities.“We want to be able to support the Palestinian people without risking being arrested by the police,” she said.France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin had ordered all pro-Palestinian demonstrations banned before authorities ruled permission for protests should be decided locally, on a case-by-case basis.Jewish groups planned a gathering in Paris later Sunday to call for the release of Hamas’s hostages.A pro-Palestinian crowd estimated at 12,000 by police gathered outside European Union institutions in Brussels for a rally organized by groups including trade unions, Christian organizations, and Arab solidarity movements.Several thousand people took to the streets in Sarajevo, with some comparing the situation in Gaza with the suffering of Bosniaks, who are mainly Muslims, during the country’s 1992-95 war.“What is happening in Gaza is simply human disaster. Collective punishment. War crimes. These things have to be named by their rightful name,” said Nabil Naser, a Palestinian doctor who worked in Sarajevo during the Bosnian war.Hundreds also rallied in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, and in Podgorica, the capital of neighboring Montenegro.More than 3,000 people attended a “Freedom for Palestine” rally on Sunday at a square in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.Malaysia is a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause, and has no diplomatic ties with Israel. Muslims in the country have staged weekly rallies after Friday prayers outside the American embassy, slamming the US for its support of Israel. Many of the country’s leaders are openly antisemitic.Retiree Munir Izwan urged neighbors of the Palestinians to step up efforts to help.“Even in Islamic teachings, the closest neighbors should help the most in making peace between the two parties. But from what I see, the neighboring countries of Palestine, they are only talking, but no actions,” Munir said.

Blinken urges Israel to turn on more Gaza water pipelines-Blinken: Israel needs to think about who will rule Gaza if Hamas is toppled-US secretary of state says that despite Jerusalem’s insistence it doesn’t want to remain in enclave, it must think about ‘day-after’ strategy, even as it plans ground operation-By Jacob Magid Today, 8:41 pm 0-OCT 22,23

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday that Israel should already be devising a strategy for who will rule Gaza if the IDF completes its stated mission of toppling Hamas.“There are different ideas out there about what could follow, but all of that needs to be worked out and it’s something that needs to be worked out even as Israel is dealing with the current threat,” Blinken told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”This appeared to be the first time that Washington has publicly urged Israel to think about its broader strategy, after officials speaking anonymously earlier said US President Joe Biden and other administration officials have privately been pressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his aides to come up with one, in order to avoid making the same mistakes that the US made after the attacks of September 11, 2001, which led to it being bogged down in Mideast wars for years.Israeli officials have said publicly that they are currently focused on eradicating Hamas and are not thinking about what might come afterwards. Netanyahu said the same thing to Biden during the US president’s visit to Israel last week, according to a US and an Israeli official, who said that the government’s newest ministers from the National Unity party — which joined from the opposition to form a wartime cabinet — have demanded the crafting of a more holistic strategy upon entering the government.Netanyahu’s office issued a statement on Friday declaring that the premier’s defined goal for the Gaza war is “the elimination of Hamas. All talk of decisions to hand over the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority or any other party is a lie.”Netanyahu has come under fire since the start of the war with Hamas from critics who have accused him of working to strengthen Hamas over the past 15 years, in order to divide the Palestinian factions and weaken the more moderate PA, which has expressed support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.WATCH: Israel has “absolutely no intent” to govern Gaza once the war is over, @SecBlinken says.Israel “can’t go back to the status quo. … Something needs to be found that ensures Hamas can’t do this again, but that also doesn’t revert to Israeli governance of Gaza.” pic.twitter.com/a8NbG8OdVP — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) October 22, 2023-Asked who Israel would like to see govern Gaza after the war is over, Blinken told “Meet the Press”: “We can’t go back to the status quo. They can’t go back to the status quo, with Hamas being in a position in terms of its governance of Gaza to repeat what it did… At the same time, what I’ve heard from the Israelis — is absolutely no intent, no desire to be running Gaza themselves.”“So, something needs to be found that ensures that Hamas can’t do this again, but that also doesn’t revert to Israeli governance of Gaza, which they do not want and do not intend to do,” the secretary said.Blinken told CBS’s “Face the Nation” earlier on Sunday that the US was also continuing to work to evacuate American citizens who are trying to leave Gaza, saying that “Hamas has blocked them from leaving, showing, once again, its total disregard for civilians of any kind who are stuck in Gaza.”Blinken added in the NBC interview that the US would like to see Israel expand the water supply into Gaza.WATCH: @SecBlinken tells #MTP some of the water pipelines in Gaza have been restored, "but there are a couple of other pipelines" Israel should restore."We're getting more [aid through trucks] that we hope will be moving as early as today … and are moving as we speak." pic.twitter.com/Fq5RFt3ulv— Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) October 22, 2023-Israel turned one of the water pipelines into Gaza back on last week, but “there are a couple of other pipelines that we’d like to see restored,” Blinken said.The top US diplomat added that desalination plants need to be powered back on, in order to ensure that the drinking water in Gaza is clean, noting that the Biden administration is concerned about the spreading of disease in the enclave caused by civilians drinking dirty water.The secretary of state said the US is working “every day” to get more humanitarian aid into Gaza for Palestinian civilians.

As tensions rise, Pentagon boosts Mideast air defense in response to Iran ‘escalations’US Secretary of Defense Austin orders THAAD and Patriot missile shields activated throughout region, warns Washington will take action against any attempt to ‘widen the conflict’ By AFP, ToI Staff and Jacob Magid Today, 12:24 pm-OCT 22,23

With tensions rising across the region and signs of widening conflict, the Pentagon moved Saturday to step up US military readiness in the Middle East in response to what it said were “recent escalations by Iran and its proxy forces” across the region, warning that Washington would “take appropriate action” against any attempt to open a new war front.US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered the activation of air defense systems and notified additional forces that they may be deployed soon.“These steps will bolster regional deterrence efforts, increase force protection for US forces in the region, and assist in the defense of Israel,” he said.Austin did not say how many US troops would be added to those already in the region.The Pentagon’s moves came after what Austin described in a statement as “detailed discussions” with US President Joe Biden.“I will continue to assess our force posture requirements in the region and consider deploying additional capabilities as necessary,” he said.Hours after the decision, Austin vowed that the US would take “appropriate action” in response to any escalation in the Middle East of the ongoing conflict.“We’re concerned about potential escalation. In fact, what we’re seeing is a prospect of significant escalation of attacks on our troops and our people throughout the region,” he told ABC News.“If any group or any country is looking to widen this conflict and take advantage of this very unfortunate situation that we see, our advice is: don’t,” he said.“We maintain the right to defend ourselves and we won’t hesitate to take the appropriate action,” Austin added.The announcement also came after Austin again spoke with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.“The secretary thanked Minister Gallant for Israel’s role in facilitating the October 21 humanitarian convoy into Gaza and reiterated the importance of protecting civilians,” said a statement from the Pentagon. “The two leaders also discussed the continued provision of security assistance and the US commitment to deter any state or non-state actor seeking to escalate this war.”The steps continued the Biden administration’s response since Hamas unleashed an onslaught of over 2,500 terrorists who invaded Israel from Gaza on October 7, killing at least 1,400 people, the vast majority of them civilians. The terrorists, who broke through the border under cover of a barrage of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli town and cities, also abducted at least 212 people of all ages, dragging them back to Gaza as hostages.Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas, and says around 1,500 of the group’s fighters were killed in clashes on Israeli territory. Hamas has continued to rain rockets on southern and central Israel from Gaza.Austin said he had activated deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and additional Patriot battalions “throughout the region.”“Finally, I have placed an additional number of forces on prepare to deploy orders as part of prudent contingency planning, to increase their readiness and ability to quickly respond as required,” Austin said.Tensions are also rising along the northern border with Lebanon, where Israel and the Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah have been engaging in repeated clashes around the boundary, some of them deadly, sparking fears of a new front opening.In south Lebanon on Saturday, Hezbollah said four of its fighters were killed. Palestinian terror group Islamic Jihad said one of its fighters was also killed. Israel said it hit cells preparing to fire anti-tank rockets at border communities. An Israeli soldier was killed and two others wounded by a Hezbollah-fired rocket. The IDF said Sunday that it again hit terrorists preparing to attack Israel from Lebanon.Armed factions linked to Iran have threatened to attack US interests in Iraq over Washington’s support for Israel.US troops stationed at two bases in Iraq were targeted with rocket attacks Friday that caused no casualties.Since Wednesday, three Iraqi bases used by US-led coalition troops have been targeted in five separate attacks — Ain al-Assad, the Al-Harir base in northern Iraq and a military camp near Baghdad airport.Israel’s military said Saturday that it would intensify strikes on Hamas-controlled Gaza ahead of a planned ground invasion. Israel said it was targeting Hamas assets and areas where the terror group is hiding and intends to topple and eradicate the terror group.This picture taken from Israel’s southern city of Sderot shows smoke billowing over the northern Gaza Strip during Israeli airstrikes on October 22, 2023 (JACK GUEZ / AFP)-The bombing campaign has killed more than 4,300 Palestinians, mainly civilians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and reduced swaths of the densely populated territory to ruins. The Hamas-stated toll cannot be independently verified and is believed to include its own terrorists and gunmen. Israel has urged residents of the northern Gaza Strip to evacuate southward before the expected ground offensive begins.A first trickle of aid entered the southern Palestinian enclave from Egypt on Saturday, but the 20 trucks permitted to cross have been described as a “drop in the ocean” given the needs of 2.4 million residents.

The Canadian PressThe Canadian Press-Second aid convoy reaches Gaza as Israel attacks targets in Syria and occupied West Bank-Israel pounds Gaza amid fears of wider Middle East conflict-Sun, October 22, 2023 at 8:09 p.m. EDT

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The second aid convoy destined for desperate Palestinian civilians reached Gaza on Sunday, as Israel widened its attacks to include targets in Syria and the occupied West Bank and the Israeli prime minister warned Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group that if it launches its own war, “we will cripple it with a force it cannot even imagine.”For days, Israel has been on the verge of launching a ground offensive in Gaza following Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 rampage through a series of Israeli communities. Tanks and troops have been massed at the Gaza border, waiting for the command to cross.Israel’s military spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said the country had increased airstrikes across Gaza to hit targets that would reduce the risk to troops in the next stage of the war.Fears of a widening war grew as Israeli warplanes struck targets across Gaza, two airports in Syria and a mosque in the occupied West Bank allegedly used by militants.Israel has traded fire with Hezbollah militants since the war began, and tensions are soaring in the West Bank, where Israeli forces have battled militants in refugee camps and carried out two airstrikes in recent days.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told troops in northern Israel that if Hezbollah launches a war, "it will make the mistake of its life. We will cripple it with a force it cannot even imagine, and the consequences for it and the Lebanese state will be devastating.”Hamas said it fought with Israeli forces near Khan Younis in southern Gaza and destroyed a tank and two bulldozers.Late Sunday, Hagari announced that a soldier was killed and three others wounded by an anti-tank missile during a raid inside Gaza as part of efforts to rescue more than 200 hostages abducted in the Oct. 7 attack.On Saturday, 20 trucks entered Gaza in the first aid shipment into the territory since Israel imposed a complete siege two weeks ago.Israeli authorities said late Sunday they had allowed a second batch of aid into Gaza at the request of the United States. COGAT, the Israeli defense body responsible for Palestinian civilian affairs, said the aid included water, food and medical supplies and that everything was inspected by Israel before it was brought into Gaza.The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees confirmed the arrival of 14 trucks.Israel has not allowed any fuel to enter Gaza.In a sign of how precarious any movement of aid remains, the Egyptian military said Israeli shelling hit a watchtower on Egypt's side of the border, causing light injuries. The Israeli military apologized, saying a tank had accidentally fired and hit an Egyptian post, and the incident was being investigated.Relief workers said far more aid was needed to address the spiraling humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where half the territory's 2.3 million people have fled their homes. The U.N. humanitarian agency said Saturday's convoy carried about 4% of an average day’s imports before the war and “a fraction of what is needed after 13 days of complete siege."The Israeli military said the humanitarian situation was “under control,” even as the U.N. called for 100 trucks a day to enter.Israel repeated its calls for people to leave northern Gaza, including by dropping leaflets from the air. It estimated 700,000 have already fled. But hundreds of thousands remain. That would raise the risk of mass civilian casualties in any ground offensive.Israeli military officials say Hamas’ infrastructure and underground tunnels are concentrated in Gaza City, in the north, and that the next stage of the offensive will include unprecedented force there. Israel says it wants to crush Hamas. Officials have also spoken of carving out a buffer zone to keep Palestinians from approaching the border, though they have given no details.Hospitals packed with patients and displaced people are running low on medical supplies and fuel for generators, forcing doctors to perform surgeries using sewing needles, resorting to vinegar as disinfectant and operating without anesthesia.The World Health Organization says at least 130 premature babies are at “grave risk” because of a shortage of generator fuel. It said seven hospitals in northern Gaza have been forced to shut down due to damage from strikes, lack of power and supplies, or Israeli evacuation orders.Shortages of critical supplies, including ventilators, are forcing doctors to ration treatment, said Dr. Mohammed Qandeel, who works in Khan Younis' Nasser Hospital. Dozens of patients continue to arrive and are treated in crowded, darkened corridors, as hospitals preserve electricity for intensive care units.“It’s heartbreaking,” Qandeel said.Palestinians sheltering in U.N.-run schools and tent camps are running low on food and are drinking dirty water. The lack of fuel has crippled water and sanitation systems.Heavy airstrikes were reported across Gaza, including in the southern part of the coastal strip, where Israel has told civilians to seek refuge. At the Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah, south of the evacuation line, several bodies wrapped in white shrouds were lined up outside.Khalil al-Degran, a hospital official, said more than 90 bodies had been brought in since early Sunday, as the sound of nearby bombing echoed behind him. He said 180 wounded people had arrived, mostly children, women and the elderly displaced from other areas.Airstrikes also smashed through the marketplace in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Witnesses said at least a dozen people were killed.The Israeli military has said it is striking Hamas fighters and installations and insists it does not target civilians. Palestinian militants have fired over 7,000 rockets at Israel, according to the military, and Hamas says it targeted Tel Aviv early Sunday.More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed — mostly civilians slain during the initial Hamas attack. At least 212 people were captured and dragged back to Gaza.Two Americans were released Friday, hours before the first shipment of humanitarian aid.More than 4,600 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry. That includes the disputed toll from a hospital explosion.U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that Hamas was responsible both for its rampage and civilian deaths in Israel’s attacks. “It knew that in Israel’s necessary response, civilians would be caught in that crossfire,” he said.He said the militants were operating among the civilian population and its tunnels were buried under hospitals and schools. “What does anyone expect Israel to do?” he said. “This is on Hamas.”Syrian state media, meanwhile, reported that Israeli airstrikes hit the international airports in the capital, Damascus, and the northern city of Aleppo, killing one person and putting the runways out of service.Israel has carried out several strikes in Syria since the war began. Israel rarely acknowledges individual strikes, but says it acts to prevent Hezbollah and other militants from bringing in arms from Iran, which also supports Hamas.In Lebanon, Hezbollah said six fighters were killed Saturday, and the group’s deputy leader, Sheikh Naim Kassem, warned that Israel would pay a high price if it invades Gaza. Israel struck Hezbollah in response to rocket fire, the military said.Israel also announced evacuation plans for another 14 communities near the Lebanon border.In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, 93 Palestinians have been killed — including eight Sunday — in clashes with Israeli troops, arrest raids and attacks by Jewish settlers since the Hamas attacks, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Israeli forces have closed crossings into the territory and checkpoints between cities, measures they say are aimed at preventing attacks. Israel says it has arrested more than 700 Palestinians since Oct. 7, including 480 suspected Hamas members.The internationally recognized Palestinian Authority administers parts of the West Bank and cooperates with Israel on security, but it is deeply unpopular and has been the target of violent Palestinian protests.___Magdy reported from Cairo and Nessman from Jerusalem.

Biometrics’ convergence with digital identity, wallets sparks resurgence of investment-Oct 21, 2023, 7:04 am EDT-| Chris Burt

Biometrics is backing a range of national government programs and technical standards for digital identity in some of the most-read articles on Biometric Update this week. Most welcome, however, is the series of investments in the space, with Anonybit and Prove each raising millions of dollars and Toppan Gravity acquiring a smart card manufacturer to further its market reach. Each is vying for share in a market growing towards mass adoption of digital identities, many of them stored in digital wallets, as explored in a new report from Goode Intelligence.Top biometrics news of the week-The European Travel Information and Authorisation System, once expected to come online next month, has reportedly been pushed back to May, 2025. The ETIAS delay is related to problems bringing the EU’s biometric Entry-Exit system online. An unnamed EU official thinks the delay may not be the last, either. The UK has opened up the EU Exit: ID Document Check app, meanwhile, to complete the identity document verification stage of the EU Settlement Scheme application process.Also by May 2025, Germany will require face photos included on ID documents to meet ICAO’s standards to support biometric matching. The move is amongst a set of changes intended to cut down on the risk of fraud, while making border crossings and other processes more convenient for Germans.The latest legislation tabled to underpin Australia’s national biometric identity verification service is drawing criticism for inadequate privacy protections from the Law Council of Australia and the Human Rights Law Centre. Meanwhile, two of the biggest banks in Australia have begun using ConnectID for digital identity verification through selfie biometrics.The Gates Foundation is planning to help connect Kenya’s government with technical experts and partners in support of its introduction of the Maisha Namba national digital identity system. The support comes as rights activists and residents of some areas are concerned that the government is backtracking on a commitment to make it easier for people to obtain IDs.Nigeria’s government has launched a new cash transfer program to ease a transition away from a fuel subsidy, utilizing the country’s biometric Bank Verification Number to manage its distribution. The program, launched on World Poverty Eradication Day, is expected to reach 15 million households.Anonybit has raised $3 million in an early funding round to build out its technology for privacy-preserving identity management through distributed biometrics storage, and deliver it to new customers and partners. CEO Frances Zelazny tells Biometric Update that the company has established a beachhead in the market and is refining its services based on engagements with partners and end-users. Anonybit’s first investments with the cash in hand are a new CRO and advisory board member.Prove picked up $40 million in what Tracxn says is a D round, and plans to address new use cases and geographies with its identity verification and fraud-prevention tools.For those seeking insight into building, scaling and fundraising for tech startups, AnyVision Co-founder Eylon Etshtein discusses his unusual journey and experience at all three in an interview with Alejandro Cremades.Toppan Gravity has acquired Colombia-based payment card manufacturer Hogier Gartner & Cía. The move could open up the lucrative potential of the Latin American market for Toppan, which has existing partnerships for biometric cards with access control, healthcare and payments applications.One of many well-received sessions at the Authenticate 2023 conference was a panel discussion on the U.S. government view of FIDO authentication, featuring representatives of Venable, the IRS and GSA, NIST and Guidehouse. NIST and FIDO are already recognizing the value in each other’s standards, and in a subsequent talk, Okta’s Moushmi Banerjee suggested alignment for FIDO’s Authenticator levels and NIST’s Identity Assurance Levels.A review of NIST’s recent evaluation of biometric presentation attack detection algorithms shows improving market maturity, in the form of low error rates for the leaders in each category, and a distribution of top results that suggests specialties are beginning to emerge. ID R&D, Alice Biometrics, ROC.ai, CyberLink and others topped both the convenience and security sides of the evaluations for particular PAD types.In the year 2029, there will be 4.9 billion digital identities in use, nearly a third of them held within digital identity wallets, according to the latest forecast from Goode Intelligence. The Digital Identity Report also highlights trends in biometrics, Verifiable Credentials. Founder and CEO Alan Goode tells Biometric Update that the report reflects fundamental shifts in the market that have occurred since 2019.Please let us know about any podcasts, opinion pieces or other content we should share with the people in the biometrics and digital identity communities, either in the comments below or through social media.

Software in fingerprint biometric gun safe sensor fails; death prompts product recall-Oct 20, 2023, 1:46 pm EDT-| Jim Nash

A biometrics-enabled personal gun safe that is implicated in the gunshot death of a child in the United States has been recalled.Models of Fortress Safe‘s keeps that use the same fingerprint-scanning software are being pulled from the market. Each vault also has a key lock.It is possible for an adult to think the safe is locked when it is not.The Consumer Product Safety Commission yesterday recalled 61,000 biometric safes, pistol vaults, gun cabinets and other personal safes. They are sold under the brand names Fortress, Cabela’s, Gettysburg and Legend Range & Field.Officials say owners should immediately remove the Chinese-made safe’s battery and lock their firearm with the key until they can get a free replacement.A 12-year-old boy died in 2022 when he was able to open a Fortress safe despite it being paired with an adult’s fingerprint. Faulty programming has resulted in 39 reported instances of faulty locking, according to the government, which has not said if any other injuries have occurred.While not a popular purchase for U.S. gun owners, there is a market for biometric gun safes, including in schools.

Safety, privacy professionals caution against facial recognition in US schools-Oct 20, 2023, 1:10 pm EDT    | Chris Burt

As facial recognition deployments and restrictions proliferate among American schools, observers are calling for sober evaluation of claims made by biometrics vendors. There have been 33 school shootings resulting in injury or death in the U.S. so far this year, GovTech reports, but the assessment that informed New York’s move to ban facial recognition in state schools says facial recognition “may only offer the appearance of safer schools.”Kenneth Trump, President of consulting firm National School Safety and Security Services, tells GovTech that so far schools have largely addressed “political and community relation problems, not so much school safety problems” with facial recognition.Challenges for schools to navigate when implementing facial recognition include data privacy concerns, demographic disparities found in some algorithms and systems, and how to safely and responsibly handle the biometric data of children.Notably, a school implementation of facial recognition is the scenario the Biometrics Institute presents in its Biometrics Essentials training course on ethics and good practices.Trump says he has seen one-time grants to schools spent on technology without adequate training or ongoing funding in the past, with the result that the technology does not have the intended effect.GovTech refers to research indicating some students are uncomfortable with the level of surveillance in schools, and the risk of mission creep, as technology deployed for safety is used to enforce attendance and pick-up rules.Fingerprint biometrics, in contrast, have benefited students in school deployments to speed up lunch lines, according to Amelia Vance, President of the Public Interest Privacy Center and chief counsel for the School Superintendents Association’s student and child privacy center.For New York, however, Vance believes banning facial recognition in schools was the right decision. For now, school administrators are getting precious little other guidance.

Will the EUDI Wallet go global? Experts discuss standardization-Oct 20, 2023, 12:25 pm EDT-| Masha Borak

As Europe prepares to launch its European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet, its creators have been busy building up foundational frameworks and standards. The task is even more important as the wallet has ambitions beyond the continent: Standardization organizations are working on making the EUDI accepted even across the European Union’s border.The EUDI will allow each European citizen to access public and private digital services with a tap on their mobile phones. In July, the project kicked off four pilots involving more than 250 private and public organizations across Europe. The European Commission has earmarked €46 million (roughly US$49 million) for the pilots.“I think this is one of the biggest opportunities and maybe even the last one we have if we want to create the European sovereign framework and solutions from within Europe,” says Franziska Granc, Project Manager for Secure Digital Identities at Nimbus.Granc spoke at the 9th Trust Services and EID Forum in Vienna last week, which focused on eIDAS2, the regulation governing the EUDI Wallet, and Trust Services under the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2).Cross-border uses of the EUDI Wallet could be a huge benefit for businesses, according to Viktoria Ruubel, Managing Director of Digital Identity at Veriff. A single wallet that is recognized everywhere could give access to cross-border financial, e-commerce and other services to citizens.Projects such as the OpenWallet Foundation (OWF) also give hope that the EUDI Wallet will integrate easily into global networks, the panelists said at the conference. At the same time, many of the standards that are being adopted into EUDI are based on international and open standards.“It’s not something ad hoc created specifically for eEIDAS, there are these international standards and international protocols and formats, which should hopefully pave the way for this cross-border interoperability,” says Kotryna Urbanaite, Decentralised Identity Strategy Manager at Accenture.But before global expansion, much more work needs to be done. To make the technology attractive even to the most skeptical parts of the public, its builders will need to prove it is secure and private. They will also need to overcome previous poor experiences with the interoperability of EUDI. Here is where proper certifications may come into play.The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) have created a number of detailed standards to support the new digital wallet and eEIDAS, says Santino Foti, Vice Chair of the ETSI Technical Committee (TC) Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures (ESI).“With the principle of eEIDAS regulation we have global access for citizens and enterprises, trustworthy identification schemes, we have electronic attestation attributes for cross border sharing of that information of identity and there is a stronger push towards mobile devices to use digital wallets,” says Foti.The agency is hoping that in the future it will be able to work with other agencies on issues such as interoperability of credentials, identity proofing and biometrics, levels of authentication and certification and protection profiles.Security of the EUDI Wallet is also a top priority. In July, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) released a report with new recommendations for standard makers focusing on digital IDs, including the EUDI Wallet.“On top of all the efforts that have to be done and that are ongoing when it comes to regulation and harmonization, we need to make sure that the primary device that is used by millions of people in the field will by default offer the proper level of security,” says Fabien Courtiade, Director of Product Management at Qualcomm.This will include ensuring that security is taken care of at the hardware level, including camera sanders and fingerprint sensors which will record biometric information during enrollment, he adds.

Advocates say people think of biometric identification all wrong-Algorithms are imposing data order at the expense of outliers-Oct 20, 2023, 11:42 am EDT-| Jim Nash

A digital rights organization says the popular view of biometric identification and surveillance is backward and the result is the commodification of people for government control and business profit.Access Now, which is particularly focused on the impact of AI on economically disadvantaged communities, has published a report with what it sees as unnecessary risks of biometrics-based tools.Instead of viewing the tools as mere collection systems, executives with Access Now see algorithms as programmed categorizers. They impose a desired order on what is by definition a spectrum of qualities, behaviors, reactions and identities.Biometric systems “are used to create baselines of what constitute ‘normal’ behaviors and bodies,’ ” according to the report. This “further reinforces unequal treatment of people whose bodies and behaviors do not adhere” to how those wielding the software consider normal.And Access Now leaders say negative results in the private sector can grow when military and intelligence officials take notice of an algorithm.They cite an article in the investigative news publication ProPublica about an Ohio police man turned entrepreneur pushed software that, it is claimed, could detect someone lying when calling 911 about a violent crime they, in fact, committed.The accuracy of the software is questionable, but, according to ProPublica’s reporting, the FBI became interested.As reports of success grow, increasingly dubious biometric product ideas are growing, too. Access Now cites the example of researchers who claimed criminality can be determined by analyzing facial features.That, the group says, is directly related to the racist-influenced practice of phrenology. In the 1800s, a German physician pushed the idea that the size and shape of a person’s skull revealed intelligence and criminality.

Japanese companies, including Toppan, Fujitsu and Hitachi, create decentralized identity consortium-Oct 20, 2023, 10:00 am EDT-| Masha Borak

Japanese conglomerates Fujitsu, Hitachi, NTT Data and Toppan Digital are among the companies partnering with Japan’s largest financial group Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) to create a decentralized identity (DID) and verifiable credential (VC) consortium.Also joining the consortium are Anderson Mori & Tomotsune law firm, systems integrator Itochu Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC) and Hakuhodo Key3, a web3 services arm of marketing and innovation company Hakuhodo.The task of the consortium is experimenting with decentralized identity solutions and streamlining Know Your Customer (KYC) processes in finance. The companies may also explore self-sovereign identities (SSI), an approach to digital identity that gives individuals control over their data.The group is hoping to attract other companies, according to blockchain-focused publication Ledger Insights.In June, MUFG, one of Japan’s largest banks, announced the launch of stablecoin issuance platform Progmat Coin, designed for launching Japanese yen-pegged stablecoins in compliance with the country’s Japan’s strict regulations, including identity verification requirements. Its trust arm, Mitsubishi Trust Bank, is collaborating with Binance to offer a new stablecoin in the market built on the Progmat Coin platform.This year’s report from the World Economic Forum (WEF) noted that decentralized ID could solve issues for digital identity such as protecting sensitive data.

FIDO Alliance survey shows biometrics as the preferred consumer log-in method-Oct 19, 2023, 5:06 pm EDT-| Beverly Crawford-Westre

Biometrics are the preferred method of authentication for respondents from every country to a FIDO Alliance survey, but old-school passwords persist as the dominant form of authentication.The Alliance conducted its third annual survey of 10,000 consumers in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Australia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, India and China. The resulting report, FIDO’s 2023 Online Authentication Barometer, highlights some key findings.The report found that password usage without two-factor authentication (2FA) remains dominant. However, when given the option, users want other authentication methods, with most preferring biometrics. A majority of consumers feel biometrics are more secure than legacy authentication methods.Another key point mentioned was the frustration consumers have with old-school memorized passwords. This method is causing most people to abandon purchases and give up accessing services online because they can’t remember their passwords. The survey findings show this is 15 percent more likely than in 2022.Awareness of other authentication methods, like passkeys, continues to grow, with nearly one-third now at least somewhat familiar with the concept.The survey also reports that consumers feel less safe in the digital world. A majority of consumers perceive online scams and suspicious messages as becoming more frequent and sophisticated. The FIDO report states this is likely fueled by AI.The report does not include recommendations beyond the data. However, it can be assumed that biometrics and passkeys will be increasingly adopted for authentication in the coming year.New enterprise passwordless authentication tech from JumpCloud, Yubico, Intercede, Thales-Thales has unveiled the SafeNet IDPrime FIDO Bio Smart Card, a security key that enables strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the enterprise. This new contactless smart card lets users access enterprise devices, applications, and cloud services using fingerprint biometrics.The SafeNet IDPrime FIDO Bio Smart Card facilitates end-user adoption of passwordless MFA, allowing users to easily enroll and authenticate using biometrics. Instead of using a password, users can access with a fingerprint with the on-card sensor. The smart cards also support contactless capabilities, which allow users to simply tap the card on any device supporting NFC. The smart card provides enterprise users with multiple benefits, including better speed, security, and convenience than traditional passwords, Thales says.User biometrics are securely stored in the card’s chip and never leave the smart card, ensuring strong data privacy. This solution can be used for all digital resources supporting the FIDO2 standard, including Windows, Mac, Linux and more.According to Danny de Vreeze, VP of identity and access management products at Thales, “The human factor continues to be a challenging pain point in the modern enterprise, with shifts to remote work and the cloud expanding many organizations’ attack surfaces. MFA adoption has been a common barrier to ensuring security, as many users find it cumbersome and choose to bypass it. The SafeNet IDPrime FIDO Bio Smart Card helps to solve this challenge, introducing a physical form factor to strengthen security while also providing a user experience that is both quick and seamless.”JumpCloud Inc. has introduced a set of new features to its open directory platform. One of the new features, JumpCloud Go, is a hardware-protected and phishing-resistant passwordless login method that allows users easier access to web resources from managed devices.JumpCloud Go is supported on MacOS and Windows and integrates with device biometric authenticators (Apple Touch ID or Windows Hello) to satisfy traditional password sign-in challenges. Users experience minimal interruptions with JumpCloud Go and are prompted for input only when required. This simpler and more secure login experience is designed to reduce cyberattack exposure while improving productivity.Greg Armanini, vice president of product management at JumpCloud, states, “Rising security threats and tool sprawl from overly-complex identity, access, and device management stacks make it difficult for modern enterprises to deliver secure, frictionless access. With the new JumpCloud Go passwordless authentication, Android Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) release, Dynamic Groups automation, and other new capabilities, JumpCloud makes it easy for IT teams and MSPs to deliver the safest online identity, the easiest login experience for users, and a simple, intuitive process for securely managing users and whatever IT resources they need.”Intercede has partnered with security key maker Yubico to make passwordless login available to all businesses.In a recent report by TechRadar Pro, Intercede announced the launch of their Enterprise Managed FIDO Authentication solution. The company’s MFA software will be used with Yubico’s YubiKeys to replace passwords, PKI and Windows Hello for Business.Intercede believes that Enterprise Managed FIDO with YubiKeys will allow organizations to centralize all their logins. They hope its reach into a wide variety of public and private sectors means that FIDO authentication will now be more attainable for organizations everywhere.Derek Hanson, VP of Yubico, has stated, “We’re pleased to partner with Intercede on its new solution to make the log-on process more secure and streamlined, authentication. With the cyber threat landscape continuing to evolve rapidly, solutions that benefit from the use of FIDO credentials are more critical than ever.”According to Intercede CPO Allen Storey, “This new solution brings the benefits of secure and simple FIDO authentication to the enterprise, regardless as to whether the organization is using on-premises, desktop, cloud or different versions of Windows.”

EU parliament formally adopts digital visas-Oct 20, 2023, 3:45 pm EDT-| Masha Borak

Europe has made one of the final steps towards adopting digital visas for the Schengen area.On Wednesday, the European Parliament voted to support the law on digitalization of visas, which will enable applications for Schengen visas through a single online platform. The Visa Information System (VIS) platform will require the collection of fingerprint and face biometrics for first-time applicants.The finalization of the legislation is expected on November 12, according to sources quoted by Euractiv. Voluntary use of the application system is expected to be available from 2025, while mandatory use will likely be implemented in 2031 or 2032, the sources said.The new, fully digital visa system is aimed at third-country nationals and residents of non-Schengen EU member states such as Bulgaria and Romania. The unified online platform will be managed by the European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (EU-LISA).The new cryptographically signed visas will also be safer and more difficult to forge, according to the EU Parliament.”Europe is currently lagging behind our peers in digital visa procedures,” says Matjaž Nemec, EU Parliament rapporteur in charge of the proposal. “With this reform, we will catch up, and the whole process will become cheaper and easier for applicants. It will also make it harder to abuse the system, making the process safer.”EU institutions reached a deal on the regulation in June. The new system will replace the current analog visa stickers with digital ones. Applicants will still be able to submit paper applications in case of issues accessing the online platform.

16  When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
17  So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts,(WHEN RUSSIA/MUSLIMS GET DEFEATED THIER BODIES GET EATEN BY BIRDS,ANIMALS IN ISRAEL MIGRATION SEASON) and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee;(NUKES) and I will bring the sword upon thee.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5  Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6  Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7  Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8  After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9  Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10  Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11  And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12  To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13  Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18  And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19  For in my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20  So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21  And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22  And I will plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS FLESH)
23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2  And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3  And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4  Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5  Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6  And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7  So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8  Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9  And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10  So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11  And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12  And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13  Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14  And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15  And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16  And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17  And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18  Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19  And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20  Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21  And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22  So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23  And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24  According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26  After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27  When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28  Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29  Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

China says nuclear weapons only intended for 'self-defence' by AFP Staff Writers-Beijing (AFP) Oct 20, 2023

Beijing on Friday stressed its nuclear programme was only intended for self-defence, insisting nations had nothing to fear as long as they did not threaten China with attack.Washington said this week that China's nuclear arsenal was developing much faster than US projections had previously anticipated, and Beijing is likely to have more than 1,000 operational nuclear warheads by 2030.Asked about the claim, China's foreign ministry expressed its "firm opposition" to the US report, though a spokesperson did not outright deny the numbers given."China firmly pursues a nuclear strategy of self-defence," foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said."We have always kept our nuclear forces at the minimum level required for national security and have no intention to engage in a nuclear arms race with any country," she added."No country will be threatened by China's nuclear weapons as long as it does not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against China," Mao said.She also hit back at US moves to "invest heavily in upgrading its nuclear" forces and its policy of providing nuclear protection to non-nuclear allies, formally known as "extended deterrence"."These policy actions aggravate the risk of a nuclear arms race and nuclear conflict, and will only worsen the global strategic security environment," Mao warned.The United States currently possesses about 3,700 nuclear warheads, trailing Russia's roughly 4,500, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which counts 410 warheads for China.Beijing officially adopts a nuclear policy of "no first use" -- stating it will only use its nuclear weapons if attacked first.But in recent years, under President Xi Jinping, it has begun a massive military modernisation drive that includes upgrading its nuclear weapons to not only deter foes but also be able to counter-attack if deterrence fails.Experts say China's assessment of what constitutes a credible nuclear deterrent may also be changing -- and that substantial upgrades to its forces will embolden its military, particularly in regards to self-ruled Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its territory, and the disputed South China Sea, the majority of which China also claims.

Russia moves closer to ditching landmark nuclear treaty-by AFP Staff Writers-Moscow (AFP) Oct 18, 2023

Russian lawmakers on Wednesday voted once more to revoke Moscow's ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, moving the country another step closer to abandoning the landmark agreement.The 1996 treaty outlaws all nuclear explosions including live tests of nuclear weapons, but it has never come into force because some key countries -- including the United States and China -- have not ratified the treaty.In a fast-track hearing in the State Duma Wednesday, lawmakers voted unanimously to revoke Russia's ratification of the treaty in a combined second and third reading of the bill.The initiative will next be voted on by Russia's upper house, the Federation Council, before being sent to President Vladimir Putin to sign into law.Putin said earlier this month he was "not ready to say" whether Russia needed to carry out live nuclear tests.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters last week that Moscow would only resume nuclear tests if the United States did so first.Although it never entered into force, the agreement has been ratified by 178 countries, including nuclear powers France and Britain, and has symbolic value.Its backers say it established an international norm against live tests of nuclear weapons, but critics say the potential of the deal remains unrealised without key ratifications.Russia's parliament ratified the agreement in June 2000, six months after Putin first became president.Ahead of the vote, Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin accused the United States of "cynicism" and "double standards" over its policy on nuclear weapons."Our vote will be a response to the US for their boorish attitude towards their responsibilities to maintain global security," he said in the chamber on Tuesday, when lawmakers approved the bill's first reading.Putin has repeatedly invoked Russia's nuclear doctrine since launching a full-scale offensive in Ukraine in February 2022, triggering Western accusations of reckless nuclear rhetoric.Earlier this year Russia suspended its participation in New START, the last remaining bilateral nuclear weapons treaty between Washington and Moscow.In September last year, Putin said he was "not bluffing" about his readiness to use destructive weapons should Russia face an existential threat.

NKorea's Kim wants 'forward-looking' ties with Russia-by AFP Staff Writers-Seoul (AFP) Oct 19, 2023

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Thursday he wants to build a "forward-looking" relationship with Russia as he met with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, state media reported.The veteran envoy's two-day visit is expected to lay the groundwork for a trip to the country by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was invited by Kim last month at a high-profile summit in Russia's far east.The September summit fanned Western fears Pyongyang might provide Moscow with weapons for its war in Ukraine.Kim said it was the goal of the ruling workers party and the government "to work out a stable, forward-looking, far-reaching plan for the DPRK-Russia relations in the new era," the KCNA news agency said, using the official acronym for North Korea.Lavrov lashed out at what he termed a "dangerous" US policy towards North Korea while touting the "new, strategic level" of relations between Moscow and Pyongyang."Like our North Korean friends, we are seriously worried about the intensification of military activity of the United States, Japan and South Korea in the region and by Washington's policies," Lavrov told journalists, according to Russian news agencies.In the face of a record-breaking series of weapons tests by Pyongyang this year, Seoul has moved to strengthen its security relationship with traditional ally the United States while entering a trilateral defence arrangement that also includes Japan.Seoul and Washington have staged joint military exercises with advanced stealth jets and US strategic assets, while an American nuclear-armed submarine in July made a South Korean port call for the first time in decades.A B-52 bomber capable of carrying a nuclear payload currently sits at Cheongju airport, about 100 kilometres (62 miles) south of Seoul, marking the first time one has landed in the country since at least 2000.Local media reports said this week that the bomber would take part in a joint aerial drill near the Korean peninsula on Sunday that would involve South Korea, the United States and Japan.- Tightening relationship -But North Korea's relationship with Russia has also been tightening, Lavrov said Thursday."After the landmark summit ... we can say confidently that relations have reached a qualitatively new, strategic level," Lavrov reportedly told North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui at a meeting.Moscow is also keen to assist North Korea with its energy needs, a constant source of struggle for heavily sanctioned Pyongyang, he told Russian outlets.Lavrov, who laid wreaths at monuments to former North Korean leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in the morning, arrived in Pyongyang on Wednesday night after accompanying Putin on a trip to Beijing.At a welcome dinner, he praised Pyongyang's support for Russia's war in Ukraine."We highly value your principled, unambiguous support for Russia's actions in connection with the special military operation in Ukraine," Lavrov was quoted as saying by Russia's RIA Novosti news agency.- Weapons transfers -Kim travelled to Russia last month aboard a specially built bullet-proof train for a face-to-face meeting with Putin, declaring bilateral ties with Moscow his country's "number one priority".The two leaders met at Russia's Vostochny Cosmodrome, roughly 8,000 kilometres from Moscow, a location seen as symbolic given North Korea's space aspirations.On Friday, the United States said arms shipments were already under way, with North Korea delivering more than 1,000 containers of military equipment and munitions to Russia in recent weeks.According to a graphic provided by the White House, a load of containers was shipped by sea from North Korea to Russia between September 1 and October 1.They were then delivered by rail to an ammunition depot about 290 kilometres from the Ukrainian border.Pyongyang was seeking a range of military assistance in return, including advanced technologies, White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters.Moscow this week denounced the allegations, insisting Washington had no proof that weapons were being shipped.Washington-based analysts Beyond Parallel last week separately released satellite images showing what they termed an unprecedented build-up of train traffic along Russia's border with North Korea.The flurry of activity "likely indicates North Korea's supply of arms and munitions to Russia", the group said in its report.

Israeli rabbis are issuing guidance about how to adjust Jewish law during wartime-Since Hamas’ bloody Oct. 7 onslaught, the rabbinic principle of pikuach nefesh, or preserving life, has taken precedence above all – though not everyone agrees on what it means-By Jackie Hajdenberg 23 October 2023, 12:53 am 0

JTA — On a normal Shabbat, Orthodox Israelis turn off radios, silence cell phones and — if they have one — lay down their gun. These past two sabbaths were not normal.Israelis had special dispensation from the country’s top rabbis to bear arms. They were told to leave communication devices on, albeit at low volume. And synagogues were instructed to make sure someone brought a phone.The decree from Israel’s Chief Rabbinate offered a striking window into how war is changing the religious strictures that are typically baked into the cadences of Israeli life. In keeping with centuries of Jewish tradition, a wide range of rabbis are issuing opinions on everything from kosher food to transportation to the laws of how husbands and wives relate to each other.The opinions are almost all rooted in the core Jewish idea that pikuach nefesh, or the preservation of life, overrides nearly every other religious law. That principle is what made it not only possible but obligatory for Jews who are observant of halacha, or Jewish law, to break the laws of Shabbat in order to respond to Hamas’s bloody onslaught on October 7 — and to continue to depart from traditional halacha in certain circumstances.All of the Chief Rabbinate’s Shabbat decrees about keeping radios and phones on were meant to ensure that Orthodox Jews were able to hear safety alerts and instructions from Israel’s Home Front Command, which is responsible for civil defense. Israel is being barraged nonstop with rockets from Gaza, has carried out the largest military reserve call-up in its history, and is on the brink of a major ground force offensive in Gaza.The Chief Rabbinate also permitted departures from the country’s regular restrictions on public transportation. Most Israeli cities have never had public transit on Shabbat or Jewish holidays due to opposition from Haredi Orthodox lawmakers and voters. Its national carrier, El Al, also does not operate on Shabbat.So when Hamas attacked, on Shabbat and a holiday, public transportation across the country was not functioning. That meant reservists had to make their way to their bases on their own.Last Shabbat, trains ran on Shabbat through select stations across the country due to the ongoing emergency situation. The trains stopped only in Tel Aviv, at Ben Gurion Airport and Haifa — where the United States had sent a ship to retrieve its citizens starting at 9 a.m. Sunday.Rabbis in Israel also granted permission for El Al to fly on Shabbat, marking the first time the airline has operated on Shabbat since the 1982 Lebanon War. The airline said in a statement that it had received permission from “relevant halachic authorities” to operate flights — two from the United States, one from Bangkok and one from Madrid — to carry reservists, rescuers, medics and members of the security forces “whose arrival into the country is vital.”Wartime has also, in some cases, prompted more stringent observance of Jewish law. Food prepared and served by the Israeli army must be certified kosher by the military rabbinate, so after 2,000 meals that it donated to Israeli soldiers were thrown away, the Tel Aviv hotspot Ha’achim asked President Isaac Herzog to help it get kosher certification. After retraining staff and overhauling its kitchen, the restaurant now produces and distributes meals to soldiers full-time.“I don’t eat kosher food, but I respect it,” co-owner Yotam Doktor told Israel Hayom. “Leaving our soldiers begging for food before they go into battle is an impossible situation.”While the interaction with Jewish law has been most stark in Israel, where the crisis is acute and where rabbinic authorities have influence over state law and policy, rabbis in the Diaspora have also issued opinions related to the war.In the United States, Rabbi Herschel Schachter, one of the leading Modern Orthodox rabbis, ruled last week that worshipers should insert Avinu Malkeinu into their Shabbat liturgy. The plaintive prayer is typically recited only during the High Holidays and considered at odds with the joyous tenor of Shabbat, when it is generally not recited. Notably, when Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat, Avinu Malkeinu is still omitted from nearly all services.Within Israel, in addition to state rabbis issuing national decisions, respected rabbis with smaller public pulpits have begun considering wartime questions as well. Several of them have weighed in on the issue of kosher food for the armed forces.Rabbi Avraham Stav has authored books on Jewish law and is also an army reservist in the 439th artillery battalion, which is now called up for duty in Israel’s south. He has continued to answer questions from the front, including about the kosher status of homemade donated food sent to the army bases.Whether homemade food is kosher can be hard to ascertain, since there is no kosher certificate attached to a home kitchen, Stav wrote on Facebook. But he said that according to Jewish law, if a person attests that their food is kosher, even with just a handwritten note, the food should be considered kosher, so long as there is no reason to suspect that the person was saying so out of ignorance or disdain. All the more so, he wrote, “out of sincere concern for observant soldiers.”Turning to another rabbi for a second opinion, Stav asked Rabbi Asher Weiss, one of the leading halachic authorities in Israel, who replied, Stav says, “Of course.”Another rabbi who has drawn attention for his wartime legal opinions is Yoni Rosensweig, an Orthodox rabbi who leads a synagogue in Beit Shemesh and has built a substantial following both due to his legal opinions and his mental health advocacy. Rosensweig, too, ruled that soldiers and others in need should be lenient when assessing the kosher status of homemade, donated food. But a ruling on another topic ignited a backlash.On the first day of the war, Rosensweig received a question about whether a man heading into battle could hug his wife goodbye if she was at a point in her menstrual cycle when touch would otherwise be prohibited under traditional Jewish law.Rosensweig’s answer, posted on Facebook, was clear: Yes, provided that the embrace was for comfort only.“There is no greater emotional need — both for the husband and for the wife — than this hug before embarking on a military operation to defend the people and the land,” he wrote.The backlash was swift. For days, Rosensweig fended off criticism and responded to questions about how he could rule in contravention of mainstream opinions about Jewish law. After several days, he sought to put an end to the fighting with a new post.“The reality is that I’m impressed that most of the public didn’t wait for me for this ruling at all. They did what they thought was right,” he wrote. “Those who wanted gave a hug, and those who didn’t — did not. And that makes sense. Because when you are right there, at that very moment, you do not call the rabbi, but do what you think is right.”

Archbishop of Canterbury: Accusing Israel of hospital blast is ‘blood libel’Speaking in Jerusalem to families of killed and kidnapped, Justin Welby says no evidence of Israeli complicity in deadly explosion at Anglican hospital-By Lazar Berman 23 October 2023, 1:14 am 0

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said in Jerusalem on Sunday that there was no reason to assume Israel was behind the October 17 blast at an Anglican Hospital in Gaza City, and that spreading false accusations about Israeli responsibility was a “blood libel.”“Don’t assume it’s Israel,” Welby said to The Times of Israel. “You have no proof.”“Do not start propagating another blood libel,” he said in a message to those blaming Israel.The Anglican leader came to Israel on a solidarity visit after the blast at the Anglican Al-Ahli hospital. He met on Sunday at the King David Hotel with the family of a slain 22-year-old IDF soldier of British descent,  Sgt. First Class Yosef Malachi Guedalia, and with members of the Haran family from Kibbutz Be’eri, 8 of whom are missing or taken captive, and 2 of whom were killed on October 7.On October 17, the local Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem issued a statement blaming “the loss of hundreds of innocent civilians” on Israeli airstrikes. Welby would not back that figure, saying only “I have no idea how many civilians there were, I’ve heard so many different numbers.”The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza immediately blamed the blast on an Israeli airstrike. However, Israel produced evidence showing it was caused by a failed rocket launch from Gaza by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, an assessment endorsed by the United States, which has said it has its own data to this effect.“Of course, Palestinian families cry out in protest,” Welby said in response to a question from the media about Gazan casualties. “Who wouldn’t when they’ve lost their children? Let’s not run to judgment and blame straight away, let us lament and mourn with them.”He also decried those pro-Palestinian demonstrators marching in London and other cities on Saturday who accused Israel of genocide.“You have no understanding of what you’re saying,” said Welby. “Wait, think. listen, mourn, cry out for peace. Look for ways that nobody need go to bed fearing their house broken into and their children butchered, their relatives taken hostage. Cry out against that. Cry out against people dying in airstrikes.”Hours after his meeting with the families, Welby tweeted out a call for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, and a statement from Saturday by the heads of Jerusalem’s churches condemning Israel “in the strongest possible terms” for an October 19 strike alleged to cause part of the Orthodox Saint Porphyrios Church in Gaza to collapse, which the statement said had killed at least 18 people.I join with the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem calling for a humanitarian ceasefire so that aid can safely reach the innocent civilians of Gaza. pic.twitter.com/oTC9kk912a— Archbishop of Canterbury (@JustinWelby) October 22, 2023-Welby was attentive and clearly moved during his nearly hour-long talk  with the Guedalia and Haran families.“I am at a loss for words to express my horror, shock, and sense of the extraordinary pain that you are all feeling,” said Welby.“How do I begin to convey what this means for you?” he asked the families. “What is it you want me to hear? What is it you want me to say?”“Where will I start, with hope or with grief?” asked David Havron, who has 8 family members still missing and presumed kidnapped by Hamas.“Please help if you can help,” said Havron. “I have two sisters. I am not sure they are hostages. They are missing. We plead everyone that can help please help.”David Guedalia, whose son Yosef fell during the fighting in Kfar Aza, said that his family was “fortunate enough to have his body to bury.”“Yosef put his all into every aspect of his life, whether that was Torah, friends, family, me, our household, the army, and doing good for others,” his widow, Senai, told The Times of Israel.“We miss him and we know he is doing so much good for all of us from above. I feel like the floor has been ripped out from under me – and to think that approximately at least 1,600 other families are feeling the same is heartbreaking. We’re all one family and we all feel each other’s pain. And despite it all we wouldn’t be anywhere else.”Yosef and Senai were married for a year and four days.“You’ll go on remembering always,” Welby told Senai. “You never get over it. You go on, you build live. There’s always a hole. But the pain will ease, and happier memories will flood and drown the pain.”Welby lost his seven-month-old daughter Johanna in a car crash in 1983.Yosef’s mother Dina, originally from Manchester, gave Welby a drawing he made in kindergarten, then a photo from his service in the elite Duvdevan unit.  “He was sweet, sweet, kind, loving, gentle, caring, beautiful child, who was very, very, very professional in his job,” she said.“Our enemies are evil, pure evil,” said Daniel. “I said to myself, having enemies that are pure evil means we’re pure good.”Yosef’s grandfather Isidore Zuckerbrod, born to Holocaust survivors in Poland weeks after the fall of Nazi Germany, called October 7 “a pogrom.”“There’s no other word to describe what happened,” he told Welby. “There were pogroms in Poland, in Europe. Something that I would not in my wildest imagination think would happen is that there are pogroms in Israel.”On October 7, 2,500 terrorists broke through the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip in a multipronged, devastating onslaught. At least 1,400 people were killed, including over 1,000 civilians, and over 200 people were abducted to Gaza as hostages.Entire families were executed in their homes, and over 260 were slaughtered at an outdoor festival, many amid horrific acts of brutality by the terrorists, in what US President Joe Biden has highlighted as “the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.”Zuckerbrod said he had a range of emotions on hearing about the Hamas attacks and the death of his grandson.“My first reaction was one of anger, that 80 years after the Nazi Shoah we should still be in the same situation, even worse,” he recalled.“My second reaction was one of pride. What my father would have given to see his grandson a fighting soldier, being able to stand up from himself to be able to defend his people.”“My next reaction is pain, obviously,” Zuckerbord continued. “My own pain, the pain of his wife, his mother, his father, brother, sister-in-law, the pain of the family.”Zuckerbrod asked Welby simply to “support us.”“Support us in the media. Support us  by declaring the justice of our being in Israel…our very very simple narrative, we are Jews this is our home, this is where we live ,and this is where have to defend ourselves, this is where we able to defend ourselves.”In response Welby said he “agrees entirely with that.“Israel is a legal state, it is entitled to self-defense,” he told the families. “There is no equivalency between Israel and Hamas.”He also told Zuckerbord that his father “would have been so proud to see [Yosef] fighting for his home.”Sitting next to Welby, Rabbi David Rosen, the American Jewish Committee’s director of interreligious affairs, asked the archbishop to take what he heard in Israel, and “share it , communicate it with a wider audience, use the privilege the Almighty has given you in a way that none of us can.”“The world often seeks to purify the evil in certain terms, and will not identify terrorism for what it is,” said Rosen. “It’s some small comfort when leaders identify evil as such.”Welby similarly denounced the attack as evil: “This is like a volcano breaking out, it is evil in its most extreme form. and I’m so glad you’ve named it for what it is.”He said that his first reaction on hearing about the attacks on October 7 was anger, “because it’s the throwing away of life. It’s the throwing away of hopes for the region, it’s the beginning of throwing away of an awful lot of other lives that are going to be caught up in this disaster.”

Herzog: Hamas brought instructions on making chemical weapons to Oct. 7 onslaught-President says terrorist from Gaza had USB with material copied from al-Qaeda on ‘dispersing cyanide’; meets with relatives of hostages, vows ‘to do everything’ to bring them home-By ToI Staff 23 October 2023, 12:42 am 0

President Isaac Herzog revealed in an interview with Sky News that Hamas had plans to use cyanide agents against Israeli civilians.Herzog showed off material recovered from a USB drive on the body of a Hamas terrorist who infiltrated into Israel on October 7 which was copied from al-Qaeda and included “detailed instructions on creating chemical weapons,” including “precise instructions for preparing a device for dispersing cyanide agents,” the President’s Office said.“This is material which was found on the body of one of those sadistic villains. It’s al-Qaeda material, official al-Qaeda material,” Herzog told the TV network. “When dealing with ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Hamas, this is what we’re dealing with. And in this material, there were instructions, how to produce chemical weapons.”Among the other disturbing items found on gunmen who rampaged across southern communities two weeks ago were Islamic State flags, documents detailing extensive plans to target an elementary school, a youth center, and kill as many people as possible, as well as manuals with instructions on how to torture and kidnap those they found.War erupted after the onslaught, in which some 2,500 terrorists broke through the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip in a multipronged assault. Gunmen slaughtered some 1,400 people and seized at least 212 hostages of all ages under the cover of a deluge of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns and cities.

Entire families were executed in their homes, and over 260 were slaughtered at an outdoor festival, many amid horrific acts of brutality by the terrorists.Additionally Sunday, the president met with relatives of those abducted by terrorists to the Gaza Strip, vowing to do everything he could to bring their loved ones home.Herzog on Sunday told families whose loved ones are held hostage in Gaza that Israel is doing everything it can to bring them back.Some 80 families were represented at the 90-minute meeting, which included the president and his wife, Michal Herzog.“We’re here to help, to embrace, to strengthen, to support and to think together about solutions,” Herzog told the group, according to his office. “We have a national challenge, and it’s an enormous challenge. It requires us to act calmly and responsibly.”The president added: “We want to bring your loved ones home, soon — that’s the challenge.”Herzog said that, “as the president of Israel, I pledge to you to do everything to bring your loved ones home — that is the top goal from my perspective.”According to the statement, families expressed their distress over the lack of information on the abductees and demanded that all efforts be made to return them home safely.Several hundred supporters stood outside Herzog’s official residence in Jerusalem, waiting for representatives of the families of those missing and held captive.“They must return our daughters to us, we entrusted them to you,” said the father of Roni Eshel, a soldier at the Nahal Oz base who is believed to be held hostage. “I’m calling to the only person, to the prime minister, you drafted them and you need to bring them home.”In a glimmer of hope for hostages, Judith Raanan and her daughter Natalie — dual Israeli-American nationals kidnapped from Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7 — were released by Hamas on Friday night. The exact mechanism of the transfer was not clear. Hamas claimed that the release was made “for humanitarian reasons.”The step was widely viewed in Israel as a public relations gambit, with Hamas interested in somewhat rehabilitating its image.A Hamas spokesperson known as Abu Obeida claimed Saturday the group had offered to release two more hostages the next day under the same procedures, but that Israel refused to accept the offer.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office later said, “We won’t respond to Hamas’s propaganda lies.”Following the brutal massacre on October 7, Israel launched an offensive it says is aimed at destroying Hamas’s infrastructure and has vowed to eliminate the entire terror group, that rules the Strip. It says it is targeting all areas where Hamas operates while seeking to minimize civilian casualties.Several reports have suggested the White House is pressuring Israel to delay a widely expected ground incursion into Gaza in order to allow for the possibility of negotiations to release further hostages.

Austin: 'We won't hesitate to take the appropriate action'US warns Iran against escalation, boosts military readiness, pulls some Iraq staff-Pentagon bolsters regional air defenses as tensions boil over Israel-Hamas war, following attacks on US troops in Iraq, Syria by pro-Tehran militias-By Agencies, ToI Staff and Jacob Magid 23 October 2023, 12:21 am 0

The United States has warned Iran and its allies against any regional escalation in the wake of Israel’s war with Hamas, two top US officials said Sunday, hours after the Pentagon moved to step up military readiness in the region.With tensions mounting, Washington also announced Sunday it had ordered non-emergency staff to leave its embassy in Iraq.“We are concerned at the possibility of Iranian proxies escalating their attacks against our own personnel, our own people,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on CBS News. “We expect there is a likelihood of escalation.”“No one should take advantage of this moment to escalate to further attacks on Israel or, for that matter, attacks on us on our personnel.”US troops have been attacked in Iraq and in Syria with drones and rockets in separate incidents this past week. A group of Iranian-backed militias in Iraq warned that US forces “must leave immediately” or their bases in Iraq and elsewhere in the region will continue to come under attack.Blinken said the United States, which has sent two carrier groups to the eastern Mediterranean, was “taking every measure to make sure that we can defend them. And if necessary, respond decisively.”His words doubled down on an earlier message from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who warned of a “prospect of significant escalation of attacks on our troops” in the region.Their comments came amid growing fears that Iranian proxy Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, or other terror groups supported by Tehran, might take advantage of the tense situation over Gaza to enlarge the conflict and further stretch Israel’s military.But Austin, speaking to ABC News, issued a stern warning: “If any group or any country is looking to widen this conflict and take advantage of this very unfortunate situation that we see, our advice is: Don’t.”“We maintain the right to defend ourselves and we won’t hesitate to take the appropriate action,” he added.The comments from the two senior members of US President Joe Biden’s cabinet came hours after the Pentagon said it was upping readiness in the region in response to “recent escalations by Iran and its proxy forces.”Austin ordered the activation of air defense systems and notified additional forces that they may be deployed soon.But Austin also acknowledged that the ground invasion Israel says it plans to launch could well take longer than the time it took him to remove the Islamic State from power in Mosul, Iraq when he was the head of the US Army’s Central Command.“Urban combat is extremely difficult. It goes at a slow pace,” he told ABC News.” “This may be a bit more difficult because of the underground network of tunnels that Hamas has constructed over time, and the fact that they have had a long time to prepare for a fight.“So I think you’ll see a fight that’s characterized by a lot of IEDs, a lot of booby traps and just a really grinding activity going forward,” Austin said.The steps continued the Biden administration’s pro-Israel stance since some 2,500 terrorists from Hamas and other factions in the Gaza Strip infiltrated into Israel on October 7, killing some 1,400 people, a majority of them civilians in their homes in southern Israeli communities and at a music festival, and taking more than 200 hostages of all ages into Gaza. The shock assault came under the cover of a deluge of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns and cities.The vast majority of those killed as gunmen seized border communities were civilians — men and women, including the elderly, as well as children. Entire families were executed in their homes, and over 260 were slaughtered at an outdoor festival, many amid horrific acts of brutality by the terrorists, in what Biden has highlighted as “the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.”Israel says its offensive is aimed at destroying Hamas’s infrastructure, and has vowed to eliminate the entire terror group, which rules the Strip. It says it is targeting all areas where Hamas operates, while seeking to minimize civilian casualties.Tensions rising-Austin said he had activated deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery and additional Patriot battalions “throughout the region.”“Finally, I have placed an additional number of forces on prepare-to-deploy orders as part of prudent contingency planning, to increase their readiness and ability to quickly respond as required,” Austin said.The State Department announced it had given a directive on Friday for non-emergency staff and eligible family members to leave its embassy in Baghdad and its consulate in the Iraqi Kurdish city of Arbil, “due to increased security threats against US personnel and interests.”It also announced an updated version of its travel advisory, warning US citizens not to travel to Iraq.Armed factions close to Iran have threatened to attack US interests in Iraq over Washington’s support for Israel.Multiple Iraqi bases used by US-led coalition troops have been targeted in attacks in recent days.And along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon, the Israeli army traded fire with Hezbollah amid fears of a new front opening. The US had authorized non-essential embassy personnel and their families to leave the embassy in Lebanon last week.Israel’s military has said it would intensify strikes on Hamas-controlled Gaza ahead of a planned ground invasion.The military has pounded Gaza with airstrikes strikes in response to Hamas’s October 7 attack, with more than 4,650 Palestinians reported killed, according to the health authority controlled by Hamas. The figures issued by the terror group cannot be independently verified, and are believed to include its own terrorists and gunmen, and the victims of hundreds of misfired Palestinian rockets Israel says have landed in the Strip during the fighting.Israel also says it killed 1,500 Hamas terrorists inside Israel on and after October 7.

Army tank accidentally fires on Egyptian post near Gaza, causing minor injuries-As IDF expresses regret over incident, Egyptian military does not give further details on wounded; matter not expected to disrupt entry of aid into enclave-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 11:07 pm 0-OCT 22,23

The military said Sunday that one of its tanks “accidentally fired and hit an Egyptian post” near the border with the Gaza Strip, as the army bombards the Palestinian enclave in response to the Hamas terror group’s devastating onslaught on October 7.The Egyptian military said the blast had caused “minor injuries” but did not give details.“The IDF expresses sorrow regarding the incident” near the Kerem Shalom area, an army statement said.“The incident is being investigated and the details are under review,” the statement added.The Egyptian army said Israel had “immediately expressed its regret over the unintentional incident and an investigation is underway.”Egyptian media said the Israeli strike would not disrupt the passage of aid to Gaza, citing witnesses.On Saturday, 20 trucks carrying vital supplies crossed into Gaza through its Rafah border post with Egypt, which lies around three kilometers (two miles) from Israel.Crossings between Gaza and Israel have been shut since the outbreak of war on October 7.The United Nations has estimated about 100 trucks per day are needed to meet the needs of Gaza.War broke out after Hamas’s October 7 massacre, which saw some 2,500 terrorists break through the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip by land, air, and sea, killing some 1,400 people and seizing some 212 hostages of all ages under the cover of a deluge of thousands of rockets fired at Israeli towns and cities.Israel launched an offensive it says is aimed at destroying Hamas’s infrastructure and has vowed to eliminate the entire terror group, which rules the Strip. It says it is targeting all areas where Hamas operates, while seeking to minimize civilian casualties.

'If these hostages get slaughtered, I hold Iran accountable' Visiting US senators: Hamas must be destroyed, war was opened to prevent Saudi peace-Lawmakers warn Tehran that Gaza war will reach its doorstep if Hezbollah attacks, look ahead to regional peace after Israeli victory-By Lazar Berman Today, 11:03 pm 0-OCT 22,23

Leading a bipartisan US Senate delegation of five Republicans and five Democrats to Israel, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said in a press conference Sunday that “destroying Hamas is non-negotiable,” threatening to open a war front on Iran’s borders if it moves to broaden the current war in Gaza.“What is winning? For the terrorist organization to be destroyed, for the people of Israel to have the sense of peace they’ve lost, for the Palestinian people to have hope they don’t have, and for the Arabs and Israelis to end a conflict that would make the world better,” said Graham in Tel Aviv.The senators, who had originally planned to be in the region to promote Israeli-Saudi normalization, stressed that they have a positive vision for the region after the Palestinian terror group is destroyed.“How does this end? Israel thrives, they survive, Hamas is destroyed, the Palestinian people have a better life.”On October 7, Hamas launched its brutal mass assault on Israel, killing over 1,400 people, most of them civilians slaughtered in their homes or at a music festival near the Gaza border, and taking hostage over 200.The US group met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman on Saturday and urged him to offer funds to sustain the Gazan people until Hamas is destroyed. They also met families of hostages taken by Hamas.Graham said that he believes that Iran, through Hamas, tried to stop Israel-Saudi peace: “My goal is for them to fail.”Delaware Democrat Chris Coons also said that the Abraham Accords and progress toward normalization were among Hamas’s reasons to attack now.Graham added that 10 percent of the US Senate is currently in Israel “because we care… I come here because I love Israel. I do not hate Palestinians. I hate Hamas.”Graham also had stark words of warning for Tehran: “We’re here today to tell Iran, we’re watching you. If this war grows, it’s coming to your backyard. There won’t be two fronts, there will be three.”“If these innocent hostages get slaughtered, I hold you, Iran, accountable because you could stop it if you chose to. The idea this happened without Iranian involvement is laughable,” added Graham. “For Iran to fail, the Middle East needs to come together, marching toward the light, and away from the darkness.”Speaking after Graham, Maryland Democrat Ben Cardin concurred that “at the end of the day, Hamas must be eliminated.” He added  that “we must be mindful of the innocent people caught in this web.”“There is no future with Hamas” for the Palestinians, said Cardin.“Hamas hates the Jewish people, and cares nothing about the Palestinian people,” said Rhode Island Democratic Senator Jack Reed.Singling out US ally Qatar, Alaska Republican Dan Sullivan warned that countries that host and fund Hamas “need to get with the program.”Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat of Connecticut, revealed that he has a cousin fighting in the IDF against Hamas. “When I met with those [family members of] hostages, I saw my own family,” he said.The group also included Susan Collins (a Maine Republican), Cory Booker (a New Jersey Democrat), and Katie Britt (an Alabama Republican).The group also met with National Unity party chairman Benny Gantz and with Opposition Leader Yair Lapid.Lapid asked them to end the current chaos in Congress over the House speakership, “to put it all aside for a military aid package.”

U.S. Navy destroyer shoots down missiles, drones heading north toward Israel-by Mark Moran-Washington DC (UPI) Oct 19, 2023

A U.S. Navy destroyer in the Red Sea on Thursday shot down multiple missiles and drones launched by Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, a Pentagon official said, adding that the missiles were heading north "potentially to targets in Israel."The USS Carney intercepted three cruise missiles and about eight drones, using missiles of its own -- SM-2s, according to Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, who acknowledged that information on the missiles -- and their targets -- remained limited."We cannot say for certain what these missiles and drones were targeting, but they were launched from Yemen heading north along the Red Sea, potentially to targets in Israel," Ryder said during a press briefing.Though information was lacking, the Pentagon officials said they do not believe the USS Carney was a target of the Houthi missiles or drones.The missiles and drones were taken down over water rather than land in the early evening hours Thursday local time, the Pentagon said. There were no reports of casualties aboard the Carney, but the event was a significant show of military force in the violence-rocked region."This action was a demonstration of the integrated air and missile defense architecture that we built in the Middle East and that we are prepared to utilize whenever necessary to protect our partners and our interest in this important region," Ryder said. "There were no casualties to U.S. forces and none that we know of to any civilians on the ground. Our focus is going to be continuing to ensure we are deterring a potential broader regional conflict."The USS Carney located itself strategically in the region in the event that military assistance was needed. It went through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea on Wednesday, and a U.S. Fleet Forces social media post said that it was there to "help ensure maritime security and stability in the Middle East."This was the latest in a series of attacks in recent days with U.S. bases being targeted by drones in Syria and Iraq as increasing tensions in the war between Israel and Hamas continue to escalate.

US says China building up nuclear capacity faster than expected-by AFP Staff Writers-Washington (AFP) Oct 19, 2023

China is developing its nuclear arsenal faster than US projections had previously anticipated, according to a Pentagon report released Thursday.China possessed "more than 500 operational nuclear warheads as of May 2023 -- on track to exceed previous expectations" the Department of Defense said in its annual China Military Power Report, issued annually and mandated by Congress."We're not trying to suggest a very large departure from where they looked to be headed... but we are suggesting that they're on track to exceed those previous projections," a senior defense official told journalists.Nevertheless, the uptick "raises a lot of concerns for us," the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.Beijing is likely to have more than 1,000 operational nuclear warheads by 2030, the report added.The United States currently possesses about 3,700 nuclear warheads, trailing Russia's roughly 4,500, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which counts 410 warheads for China.The report also detailed an expanding and modernizing Chinese military, in line with China's more assertive role on the world stage under President Xi Jinping.Earlier this week the United States accused China of orchestrating a "concerted" campaign of dangerous and provocative air force maneuvers against US military planes in international airspace, warning such moves could spark inadvertent conflict between the two powers.The Pentagon said aggressive tactics by Chinese aircraft threatened US planes flying over the East and South China Sea regions, tallying more than 180 such incidents since fall 2021 -- "more in the past two years than in the decade before that," Ely Ratner, assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security affairs, told reporters Tuesday.Ratner alleged there was an intentional campaign by Beijing "to perform these risky behaviors in order to coerce a change in lawful US operational activity."US-China relations are at their lowest point in years, with tension over a range of issues including trade, human rights, Taiwan and the South China Sea.The Defense Department official speaking about the nuclear report urged China "to be more transparent on their nuclear buildup," though Beijing doesn't communicate with Washington on its arsenal.The report noted that China is looking to expand its capacity to launch its warheads -- via land, air and submarine -- and has "probably completed" the construction of a total of 300 intercontinental ballistic missile launch facilities.While the United States says it now sees China as its top geopolitical rival, China has pushed back over what it calls a US policy of containment and encirclement against it in the Pacific and elsewhere.Amid the historic tensions, the two countries have renewed dialogue with a succession of visits by senior US officials to Beijing in recent months, but Ratner on Tuesday said that Beijing continues to decline US invitations "to open lines of military-to-military communication at the senior-most levels."

Israel to Iran: If Hezbollah Joins War, 'Head of Snake' Will Be Targeted-By Fran Beyer    |   Sunday, 22 October 2023 12:48 PM EDT

Israel is promising to cut off “the head of the snake” and launch a military attack against Iran if Hezbollah — its proxy terror group in Lebanon — gets involved in Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.In an fiery interview Sunday with The Mail, Nir Barkat, Israel's minister of economy, declared Iran's ayatollahs will be “wiped off the face of the earth” if Hezbollah goes on the attack against Israel — escalating the regional conflict.The ominous threat comes amid a looming ground invasion by the Israel Defense Forces of the Gaza Strip to “annihilate” Hamas, and raises troubling fears that Israel could be forced to fight on two fronts. Also on Sunday, Hezbollah announced the deaths of five more militants as clashes along the Lebanon-Israel border intensified — while the Israeli prime minister warned Lebanon to not let itself get dragged into a new war. In Barkat's interview, he declared that not only would Israel “eliminate Hezbollah” if it believes the terror group is opening up a “northern front,’” but that “we will actually target Iran.”“The plan of Iran is to attack Israel on all fronts,” he said, The Mail reported. “If we find they intend to target Israel, we will not just retaliate to those fronts, but we will go to the head of the snake, which is Iran.”“The Ayatollahs in Iran are not going to sleep good at night. We are going to make sure they pay a heavy price if, God forbid, they open the northern front.“Lebanon and Hezbollah are going to pay a heavy price, similar to what Hamas is going to pay. But that's not enough. The very clear message is that we are going to be going after the heads of Iran as well. When will we do that? When we decide.“Israel has a very clear message to our enemies. We are saying to them, Look what's happening in Gaza — you are going to get the same treatment if you attack us. We are going to wipe you off the face of the Earth.”The escalating tensions come as Israel announced that Hamas has freed two American hostages held in Gaza since the war began Oct. 7. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continued to hit southern Gaza, an area crowded with civilians who fled there from the north on Israeli instructions. Israel’s military spokesman said the country is stepping up its attacks, coming amid expectations of a ground offensive.The war entered its 16th day Sunday — and is the deadliest of five Gaza wars for both sides. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said Saturday that the death toll has reached 4,385, while 13,561 people have been wounded.Amid the chaos, however, aid deliveries began moving into the besieged Gaza Strip.In other developments: A deal collapsed to release 50 more hostages — following the release Friday of an American mother and daughter on Friday.The father of freed American teenage hostage Natalie Raanan, who spoke with President Joe Biden on Saturday, says she’s doing well after her release by Hamas.Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators are marching in London, Barcelona, Los Angeles, and other cities.U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is ordering further defenses for troops as tensions grow.

Bruce Abramson-OPINION-Palestine, Palestinians are Code Words-Bruce Abramson By Bruce Abramson Thursday, 19 October 2023 01:10 PM EDT

It’s far beyond time to drop the pretense.There never was a Palestinian nation and there can never be a Palestinian state.The Mideast cannot stabilize — much less move towards peace, prosperity, and human development — as long as the pernicious lie of "Palestine" persists.The matter is hardly subtle.The PLO Charter, written in 1964, states clearlythat the people designated "Palestinians" are Arabs who see themselves as an integral part of the Arab nation. Their identity as something uniquely Palestinian is cultivated as a critical weapon deployed in opposition to Zionism.Hamas — the specific villain in this week’s barbarism — is even clearer.According to the Hamas Charter (1988), Palestine is an Islamic waqf, a mere administrative unit within the empire of Islam — a faith that recognizes no legitimate subdivision into nations.From inception, the entire Palestinian self-definition, and its entire raison d’être, has been the negation of the Zionist dream for an independent Jewish state in the historic Jewish homeland.To this day, Palestinianism combines the inner workings of a hate group with the outer trappings of a nationalist movement.The statements of Palestinian leaders, the Palestinian press, the Palestinian educational systems, and Palestinian entertainment are replete with demonization of the Jews, incitement, calls for violence, even advocacy of genocide.Palestinians raise their children to hate Jews and to glory in those who kill Jews — as the world is seeing in real-time video. Palestinian society, from top to bottom, allocates greater resources to ensuring that their people despise Jews than to encouraging their people to help themselves.Palestinianism on the ground today remains far, far more concerned with destroying Israel than it does with building Palestine; hatred of the reviled other is far more important than love of self.This duality is unique.No other movement features such a complete misalignment of inner functioning with outwardly stated goals.No other allegedly nationalist movement has focused so little on nation building and so much on fostering hatred.Understanding this dual nature of Palestinianism is critical to appreciating why all attempts to extract reasonable and expected behavior from Palestinian leaders ultimately fail.When it comes to representation in global organizations or diplomatic negotiations, the movement is fully equipped to function as expected.At the end of the day, at the point of agreement, compromise, and implementation, it lacks any of the necessary tools.What Hamas is now doing is far more honest than anything that the leaders of the Palestinian Authority have stated — in English, for Western consumption — in the 30 years since Oslo.Indiscriminate barbarism unleashed in a fury against Jews and all who would stand with them has always been the dream.No leader of this hate movement would ever dare abandon it.The hatred/nationalist duality also explains why the line between anti-Zionism and antisemitism is so thin: the dominant force in the anti-Israel movement is a century-old, virulent, anti-Jewish hate group.It’s nearly impossible to stand against Zionism without standing in favor of Palestinianism. And the core element of Palestinianism remains what it has always been — unreconstructed Jew hatred.The permanent crisis in which both Israel and the "Palestine refugees" live is an intentional and necessary consequence of Palestinianism’s success of a plan fostered by imperialists, colonialists, Nazis, Communists, Islamists — and now Iran and large parts of the Western left.Through these deeply antisemitic alliances, the Palestinian national movement has gained widespread acceptance of its foundational lie that the "Palestinians" constitute a distinct people, fundamentally different from neighboring Sunni Arabs, rather than simply a hate group directed against the Jews.If the millions of people trapped in the Palestinian identity are ever to be given a chance for a decent life, if the region is ever to know stability, the world must first dispense with the foundational lie of a distinct Palestinian nation.Palestine, like Andalusia or Rumelia, was an administrative region of relevance to those studying the history of Islamic (or Roman) Empires; it has never defined a state and has no place in the modern nation-state system.In early 2020, shortly before news of Covid derailed the world, the Trump administration revealed the political portion of its Mideast plan.It contained the first clear assessment of the situation and the first honest effort to give those consigned to the Palestinian identity decent opportunities while allowing the region to stabilize and develop.It called upon the Arab and Islamic states to resettle and absorb their refugees — just as the tiny Jewish state did for the refugees the Islamic world created.No one expects the Biden administration to resurrect a Trump plan.Pity.The welfare of millions of Jews and Arabs depend upon it.Bruce Abramson, Ph.D., JD, is the author of five books, most recently "The New Civil War: Exposing Elites, Fighting Utopian Leftism, and Restoring America" (RealClear Publishing, 2021).

OPINION-The Blame Israel First Crowd Strikes Again-bombed kibbutz home-Deroy Murdock By Deroy Murdock Thursday, 19 October 2023 04:35 AM EDT

Hamas unleashed an unprovoked, surprise attack on the Jewish State on Saturday morning, Oct. 7, during Shabbat and the Simchat Torah holiday.The Gaza Strip-based terrorist group’s Pearl Harbor-style onslaught included 2,200 rockets that blasted communities as far north as Tel Aviv. Regardless, Israel’s critics and enemies point their fingers at the Israelis, as if they had bombed themselves.●The Biden Administration’s statements have improved, but its knee-jerk response was dreadful. “We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks,” the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs declared, soon after the mayhem erupted. Washington’s initial message to Jerusalem: Don’t do anything. Just stand there. This wrongfully even-handed X post sparked outrage and soon disappeared.●George Achi, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Director of Journalistic Standards, instructed his newsroom colleagues, "Do not refer to militants, soldiers, or anyone else as 'terrorists.' The notion of terrorism remains heavily politicized and is part of the story."●"We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence," read a Joint Statement by Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine "The apartheid regime is the only one to blame." Members of 33 undergraduate groups signed this communique.This manifesto so nauseated hedge-fund billionaire Bill Ackman and other CEOs that they hope to place its signatories on a do-not-hire list.● Rep. Rashida , D-Mich., displayed a Palestinian flag in front of her Capitol Hill office, beside the Star-Spangled Banner. Other radical "Squad" members have slammed Israel, even as Israelis hose their countrymen’s blood from sidewalks.●Black Lives Matter of Chicago created an “I stand with Palestine” meme, complete with a paragliding terrorist, like those who flew from Gaza into Israel, with guns blazing.●Pro-Palestine demonstrators in Times Square dressed as Hamas killers. One protester waved a swastika on his cell-phone screen.These doe-eyed dreamers and Islamofascist fifth columnists should focus on Hamas’ atrocities before they denounce Israel and defend its tormentors.●"We saw boys and girls bound, who were shot in the head," Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said in a TV address Wednesday. "Men and women burned alive. Young women who were raped and slaughtered. Soldiers who were beheaded."●"Hamas is ISIS. And just as ISIS was crushed, so, too, will Hamas be crushed," Netanyahu announced at a press conference Thursday in Tel Aviv. "Hamas should be treated exactly the way ISIS was treated: They should be spit out from the community of nations."●"Babies with their heads cut off, that’s what [the soldiers] said," i24 News’ Nicole Zedek reported from Kibbutz Kfar Aza near Sderot, just outside Gaza. "Families gunned down, completely gunned down in their beds.”●CNN’s Nic Robertson said, "There were so many murdered members of this Kibbutz. Men, women, children, hands bound, shot, executed, heads cut."●"They killed babies in front of their parents, and then killed the parents," said General Itai Veruv. "They killed parents, and we found babies between the dogs and the family killed before him. They cut heads off the people."●"A pregnant woman in Southern Israel was found by Hamas terrorists," TV9 Network’s Executive Editor Aditya Raj Kaul explained via X. "They dissected her body. Her stomach was cut open and they took the fetus out with the umbilical cord. And let the unborn child die slowly out of his mother’s womb."●"Israelis — young and old — were slaughtered in their homes," Avia Klompas, former head speechwriter at Israel’s UN Mission, wrote via X. "Entire families were butchered in cold blood. In one home, a terrorist shot the parents dead, took a child’s cellphone, and livestreamed the horrors on the child’s Facebook account."●Explosions rattled young Israelis at an outdoor concert. They ran for their lives, and Gazan gunmen mowed them down. These vermin murdered 260 music fans."Our children suffered the most horrific experience no one could even imagine — going to enjoy music with friends in nature and get bombarded with hand grenades and automatic weapons, and just being slaughtered, one after another," David Abramov told CBS News.His son Laor, an aspiring DJ, vanished after Hamas swiped him in a pickup truck. "Young, beautiful, happy people go to celebrate life and meeting monsters that come to celebrate death."●In a Hamas X video, its forces excavate water pipes, slice them, pack them with explosives, and convert them into do-it-yourself bombs, which they lobbed into Israel. "Allahu Akbar!" a men’s chorus sings on the soundtrack.And what was Hamas’ message to Gazans thirsty for running water? Go to Hell.Hamas makes the PLO look like moderates. These rats resemble the Khmer Rouge.All told, Hamas has murdered some 1,200 Israelis. This has been the biggest orgy of Jew killing since the liberation of Auschwitz and Buchenwald.Conversely, Israel acts in self-defense.Any collateral damage that rank-and-file Palestinians suffer will not be because the Israel Defense Forces gunned them down in their living rooms, but because their jihadist leaders launched this genocidal bloodbath.Until last weekend, Israel had been pursuing peace like never before.In conjunction with President Donald J. Trump, Israel already had signed mutual-recognition treaties with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, and Morocco. Atop these four Abraham Accords, Israel and Saudi Arabia lately had signaled that a separate peace was within reach."I believe that we are at the cusp of . . . an historic peace with Saudi Arabia," Netanyahu told the UN last month. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told Fox News: "Every day we get closer."This is what it looks like when doves fly.But this enraged the ayatollahs, arguably the most evil, hateful, destructive, and apocalyptic humans alive. The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran and Hamas engineered this War on Israel to car-bomb any truce between Jerusalem and Riyadh.Hamas’ carnage has killed at least 29 Americans, at this writing. Fifteen other U.S. citizens are missing and could be kidnapped or dead.These facts alone should quell the far left’s lust for Hamas. Alas, this catastrophe hurts America. Thus, too many on the left are exactly where one typically finds them: on the wrong side of the Stars and Stripes.

OPINION-Let's Call This What It Is: 21st Century Blood Libel-Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu waits for the start of the Israeli war cabinet meeting also attended by
Josh Hammer By Josh Hammer Friday, 20 October 2023 09:56 AM EDT

The Israel Defense Forces' much-anticipated ground invasion of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip has not yet commenced, but the world's attention has already begun to shift away from the single bloodiest and most catastrophic slaughter of the Jewish people since the defeat of Nazi Germany 78 years ago.The Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom, which featured the indiscriminate mass murder of babies in their cribs, whole civilian families shot dead execution-style, countless teenage girls raped, and roughly 200 more civilians taken hostage back to Gaza's subterranean terror tunnels, was so barbaric that U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who previously commanded the war on ISIS, described what he saw while visiting Israel as "worse than ISIS."Yet, while Jew-haters, conspiracists, jihad sympathizers and certain libertarians meticulously debated for a week whether the Jewish children slaughtered en masse in southern Israel were decapitated or "merely" tied up and burned alive, ultimately requiring the Israeli government to release grisly corroborative photos, the Western world immediately sided with Hamas propaganda --- no questions asked! --- when news broke this week of a deadly rocket attack on a hospital in Gaza.In the eyes of the "enlightened" world, every Jewish death must be closely scrutinized and "journalistic ethics" demands we "just ask questions," but every claim of Arab death put forth by terrorist-run "health ministries" must be immediately accepted as undisputed truth.Curious, that.Accordingly, The New York Times and countless other useful idiot jihadist mouthpieces quickly put out defamatory headlines accusing Israel of striking the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, killing 500. (The Gray Lady, for its part, also quickly posted a deceiving accompanying photo, which was apparently not even taken in Gaza.) Thus far, very few of these Hamas propagandists have issued meaningful editorial corrections.On the contrary, as of Wednesday evening, "CBS Evening News" posted on X (formerly known as Twitter): "The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to grow following a hospital explosion that killed hundreds.CBS News spoke to a doctor who says Israel's army had previously warned the facility to evacuate." In this case, X's "Community Notes" feature handily pointed out the facts: "President Joe Biden has confirmed that the explosion was most likely a result of the misfiring of a Hamas missile."Video also shows that the explosion was in a car park and does not appear to have demolished any buildings."Indeed, by the time CBS posted this, there was mass-circulated footage clearly showing the fatal rocket in question was misfired from within Gaza itself, either by Hamas or the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Not only had the IDF itself already confirmed that; U.S. intelligence had as well.But why let some stubborn facts get in the way of a convenient narrative?But the corporate media are not the only shameful actors here. U.S. House of Representatives' "Hamas Caucus" Chair Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., continues to peddle the abhorrent lie that Israel intentionally bombed the hospital.We now know not only that that is false; we also know it is (thankfully) untrue that the hospital itself was hit, as the "Community Note" above clarified.Let's call this what it is: 21st-century blood libel.It is vile and condemnable.Watching this week's hospital soap opera unfold, along with the backdrop of President Joe Biden visiting Israel to hector Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet about warfighting and rules of engagement in advance of a Gaza incursion, one must ask: Is Israel really going to be able to do what it needs to do, in Gaza, to finally eradicate the Hamas cancer once and for all? If Israel is to finish the job in Gaza, it's imperative that this absurd cycle not repeat itself.Today's Nazis, an Islamist Reich hellbent on global Jewish genocide beyond the massacre it just successfully perpetrated, must be defeated by any means necessary.Furthermore, as the world recently saw when Hamas apparently began bombing its own roadways to prevent Gazans from fleeing toward Egypt, cynically preferring to keep its people trapped in Gaza as cannon fodder, Hamas bears full responsibility for (SET ITAL) all civilian deaths in Gaza.More to the point:Did the United States get bogged down in this sort of global public relations fight, following the 1942 Doolittle Raid, the first bombing of the Japanese mainland after Pearl Harbor? Did the Allied powers get dragged into a public relation fight with Hitler, following the 1945 bombing of Dresden? H.L. Mencken famously said that "democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."In Gaza, Hamas was popularly elected and remains overwhelmingly popular.War is messy.When a genocidal death cult strikes a free nation, that free nation can only have one legitimate military goal: the enemy's unconditional surrender.No matter how much pressure Biden applies, and no matter how nasty the public relations battle gets, let's pray Netanyahu and his war cabinet remember that.

CBC-As drought dries up B.C. rivers, conservationists turn to beavers for help-Sun, October 22, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. EDT

The ongoing drought in many parts of B.C. is causing some rivers in the province's northern Interior to reach their driest mid-October levels in years.In Prince George, the unusually low waters have locals worried.Harriet Schoeter moved to the northern B.C. city 60 years ago, and loves walking the shore where the Fraser and Nechako rivers meet.This week, the water was so low she could almost walk right across."I've never seen it this low," she said. "It was low before, but not like this."Wayne Salewski, with the Nechako Environment and Water Stewardship Society, said the river is indeed at its driest for this time of year in decades."It's horridly low — unbelievably low," Salewski said, standing on the dry river bottom at the confluence of the two Prince George rivers. "Everything is going to pay the price for that."Our streams are dry right now … We need to hold water in place."Amidst low water levels, a family walks on the riverbed where water normally flows at the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers near Prince George, B.C. on Wednesday.The shallower and warmer waters will harm salmon, sturgeon, and people whose livelihoods depend on healthy rivers, he said.Now, Salewski's non-profit is looking for help to slow water loss in tributaries, from Canada's best-known builders: beavers.'Nature's engineers' According to data from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Fraser River near Prince George is at its lowest for this week in 17 years, and nearly a third below the historical average for October.The Nechako River, which flows into the Fraser from a reservoir to the city's west, is at its lowest for this time of year since records were kept.A Prince George, B.C., railway bridge at the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers is seen in an October 2021 photograph. This October’s river levels are far below average for this time of year.A Prince George, B.C., railway bridge at the confluence of the Nechako and Fraser rivers is seen in an October 2021 photograph. Salewski asked engineers at the University of Northern B.C. to help plan beaver dam analogues (BDAs), a promising fix that's common in Washington, Idaho and other U.S. states.Sometimes also known as artificial logjams, the idea is to simulate the flat-tailed rodents' wood-and-mud dams to retain tributaries' moisture in small pools."Beavers are nature's engineers," said Mauricio Dziedzic, chair of UNBC engineering. "They tend to build dams that hold for quite a while."He is helping Salewski's society with the technical aspects of beaver-style building. Thanks to their sharp teeth, he said, beavers cut wood to start a new dam, criss-crossing branches in a stream, adding mud, and then packing it tight with their flat tails.A beaver in a pond in Canada.Beavers use their sharp teeth to cut wood to build dams — criss-crossing branches in a stream, adding mud, and then packing it tight with their flat tails. (David P. Lewis/Shutterstock)"They use their tails to tap it and and make it almost impervious," he said."A man-made structure made to look and function similarly — by keeping that water behind the dam — you recharge the groundwater [and] make the soil moisture increase."'A more resilient kind of a waterway' B.C. already has several such pilot projects. The B.C. Wildlife Federation (BCWF) and Nicola Valley Institute of Technology researchers installed nearly a dozen BDAs on a stream near Merritt, B.C., earlier this year.The federation plans to build at least 100 more across the province's Interior and North, including in Nechako tributaries.By driving vertical wood poles into the stream bed, and weaving them with debris such as logs, evergreen boughs and mud, their hope is beavers will take over their maintenance.A beaver dam analogue is set up in Howard Creek, a tributary of the Nicola River, where 10 of the artificial logjams have been built as a pilot project that could soon expand across B.C.A beaver dam analogue is set up in Howard Creek, a tributary of the Nicola River, where 10 of the artificial logjams have been built as a pilot project that could soon expand across B.C. (Submitted by B.C. Wildlife Federation)"It is basically a starter kit for a beaver," explained Neil Fletcher, BCTF's conservation stewardship director. "Can we encourage beavers to come back onto the land base and help hold that water?"Beaver dam analogues can be part of post-fire recovery, as well as to respond to drought and climate change."Last April, the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation offered the BCWF $100,000 to try out the woven wood dams across B.C.A map of B.C. shows the seven-day average streamflow on waterways across the province according to the River Forecast Centre on Friday. The darker-red dots represent the most drought-affected rivers, and paler dots representing the least drought-affected, compared to their usual water flow.A map of B.C. shows the seven-day average streamflow on waterways across the province according to the River Forecast Centre on Friday. The darker-red dots represent the most drought-affected rivers, and paler dots represent the least drought-affected, compared to their usual water flow. (B.C. River Forecast Centre/National Geographic maps)-Fletcher said a key area for study is how BDAs impact fish. But he said U.S. evidence suggests salmon can often migrate past beaver dams, or take advantage of their pools.Salewski said the artificial beaver dams' low costs have big appeal — especially if beavers themselves can take over their maintenance."Fundamentally, a beaver dam analogue is building the landscape for beavers to move in in 10 to 15 years," he told CBC News."This idea … is actually trying to work toward wetland corridors, to create this new mosaic and build a more resilient kind of a waterway here."

1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

ROMANS 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:(HOMOSEXUALITY,AND ALL SEX SINS)
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(LESBIENS)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,(SODOMITES) and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(AIDS ETC)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

GOD CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE IN MARRIAGE

GENESIS 1:27-28
27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,(HAVE LOTS OF CHILDREN) and replenish the earth,(HOMOSEXUALS CAN NOT REPLENISH THE EARTH WITH CHILDREN)(BY HAVING SEX WITH EACH OTHER) and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

GENESIS 2:21-24
21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

MATTHEW 19:4-6
4  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds (CONTROL HEZBOLLAH,AL-QUAIDA MURDERERS ETC) with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,(HIS ARMY LEADERS) and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south(EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR PROTECTING ISRAELS SECURITY) and the king of the north(RUSSIA) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

ZECHARIAH 14:12-13
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)
