The Nordic governments intend to step up their cooperation to return immigrants without legal residence in the region to their countries of origin, ministers from the five countries said in a joint press conference in Copenhagen on Tuesday. Denmark, which aims to only accept refugees under the UN’s quota system, has drawn strong criticism from the United Nations and human rights groups alike as its immigration policies have toughened over the past decade. However, the Danish model has become more popular as anti-immigration voices have gained traction across the Nordic region. READ MORE

MELANIE PHILLIPS BLOG Goodbye to all that As Remembrance Weekend approaches, Britain mourns the passing of more than its military heroes. What has upset people so much is not just the murderous message of these demonstrations. It’s also the perception that Britain has become unrecognisable, with tens of thousands of people importing a foreign cause to produce menacing behaviour that is an affront to the rule of law and poses a particular threat to Jewish people, in flagrant disregard of public order laws and with the police unable or unwilling to stop it.

ZOA Slams ‘Monstrous’ Obama for Legitimizing ‘Unspeakable Hamas Horrors’
Joshua Klein
November 7, 2023

Barack Obama is a “monstrous and dangerous Jew-hater and Israel-hater who must be condemned, deligitimized, and removed from polite society.” That was the verdict delivered Tuesday by Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) head Morton Klein, who accused the former president of “falsely and outrageously legitimizing the unspeakable Hamas horrors” with his “grotesque, antisemitic, and dangerous” remarks against Israel all while being “the primary person making decisions for the Biden administration.” READ MORE

JNS Jonathan S. Tobin: Obama’s moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel encourages hate If you were looking to Obama for moral clarity, however, you came to the wrong shop. According to the former president, the main takeaway from Oct. 7 is that as bad as Hamas is, Israel is just as bad. “You have to admit that nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree,” he declared. That means acknowledging, he continued, “that what Hamas did was horrific and there’s no justification for it. And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.”

DAILY CALLER Alan Dershowitz Calls Obama A ‘Villain’ Over Israel-Hamas War Comments, Says He’d ‘Never’ Support Him Again “Obama grossly compared these massacres, these rapes, these beheadings to Israel’s occupation of Gaza, which doesn’t exist,” Dershowitz said. “Israel ended its occupation of Gaza in 2005. They not only removed all settlers and all soldiers, but even dug up their dead bodies from graves, and took them out of the Gaza Strip.” Dershowitz explained that Obama’s statement would “encourage” terrorist groups like Hamas to “brutalize innocent civilians not only in Israel but around the world.”

Bill Maher Blasts Leftists For Hate Of Israel: ‘World Would Be A Better Place If It Had More Israels’
November 4, 2023

…“For all the progressives and academics who refer to Israel as an outpost of Western civilization like it’s a bad thing,” he began. “Please note, Western civilization is what gave the world pretty much every g****mn liberal precept that liberals are supposed to adore. Individual liberties, scientific inquiry, rule of law, religious freedom, women’s rights, human rights, democracy, trial by jury, freedom of speech — please somebody stop us before we enlighten again,” he continued. “And since one can find all these concepts in today’s Israel and virtually nowhere else in the Middle East, if anything, the world would be a better place if it had more Israels.” Maher mocked how leftists have been indoctrinated into reducing their world view into everything being about “victims or victimizers.” READ MORE

Hamas Official: We Will Repeat October 7 Terror Attack Until Israel is Annihilated

Hamas official says group aims to repeat Oct. 7 onslaught many times to destroy Israel

November 1, 2023

A senior member of Hamas has hailed the systematic slaughter of civilians in Israel on October 7, vowing in an interview that if given the chance, the Palestinian terror group will repeat similar assaults many times in the future until Israel is exterminated. The remarks by Ghazi Hamad, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, were swiftly shared online by Israeli and Western officials as a vindication of the Jewish state’s resolve to destroy the terror group’s military capabilities in its ongoing war in Gaza, and as proof that no ceasefire can be reached until the threat of additional murderous attacks is removed. “Israel is a country that has no place on our land,” Hamad said in an interview with Lebanese TV channel LBC on October 24, which was translated and published Wednesday by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

CAMERA A dictionary of Hamas Supporter’s Chants and Slogans The Palestinian liberation movement seeks the complete return of ancestral homeland and the return of its people to this land. Palestinians do not view this as a movement of “equality,” or ending “apartheid.” Liberal zionists and their lobbies hope Palestinians buy into this agenda but it is wholly rejected… [Our fight] is not over until all land, from the river to the sea, has been returned to the indigenous Palestinians and the occupation has been totally dismantled. It is never over until imperialism is over. (Palestinian Resistance News Network’s Media Guide)

Why My Generation Hates Jews
Julia Steinberg
October 26, 2023

…In high school, my homeroom had an exercise where we made a T-chart dividing various ethnicities, religions, and other identities into the categories of “oppressor” and “oppressed.” Women: oppressed. Straight people: oppressor. Black people: oppressed. Then we reached the “Jew” category. And we paused. This being a high school in Los Angeles, many of my classmates were Jewish. I recall we skipped it altogether. But the T-chart stayed on the whiteboard.
If there were fewer Jews in that room, I’m confident that “Jews” would’ve gone squarely in the “oppressor” column. READ MORE

Piers Morgan interviews Hamas founders son

Posted on October 27, 2023 by ArchitectGuy

Mosab Hassan Yousef – who is the eldest son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef – says Hamas “wants to destroy” Israel. “It is not a secret that Hamas wants to destroy the state of Israel. They cannot accept Israel or accept Israel’s right to exist,” Mosab Hassan Yousef told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan. “Since its establishment, Hamas has one goal in mind, which is annihilating the state of Israel.” Mosab Hassan Yousef was a spy for Israel from 1997 until 2007 when he left the West Bank for the US. His father was arrested on October 19 as part of Israel’s crackdown on Hamas following the October 7 attacks.

AMERICAN THINKER The Death of Democrat Jewish Innocence Liberals who went to bed conservatives sincerely believed they were making some grand gesture by supporting Israel’s right to exist while recognizing the plight of the Palestinians until the reality of October 7th exploded their worldview. They are scared sh**less and rethinking the politicians, party, and policies they’ve long supported.

WALL STREET JOURNAL Jason Riley: No Surprise – Black Lives Matter Supports Hamas’ Murder/Rape/Beheading of Jews While the body count was still being tallied, BLM groups in Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington issued statements supporting Hamas’s tactics. “Their resistance must not be condemned but understood as a desperate act of self-defense,” BLM Grassroots in Los Angeles wrote on Instagram. “As a radical black organization,” the post continued, it sees “clear parallels between black and Palestinian people.”

Biden’s Hamas conundrum: The president’s continued reliance on his anti-Israel, pro-Iran officials is not merely a policy disaster. It is a political problem.
Caroline Glick
October 27, 2023

…U.S. President Joe Biden has a problem. He staffed his administration at all levels and across departments with hardened ideologues, many of whom have records of hostility towards Jews and support for Hamas, Iran and other terror groups and regimes. Under Biden, these officials have advanced his Middle East policies that until Oct. 7 were largely aligned with the interests of Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. Now that those policies have been shown to be counterproductive, and at least partly responsible for the threats America now faces to its core Middle Eastern interests, the same officials remain in their positions and continue to direct the Biden administration’s policies. Consider the Palestinians. READ MORE

Israel Abandoned My Son Out of Fear

October 26, 2023

People ask me, how does a prophet of the apocalypse feel when his prophecies come true? Or how does a historian feel when he holds up a mirror to leadership and they ignore or shatter it? How does a bereaved father feel when he points to the completely mistaken concept of achieving “quiet” at the cost of abandoning any security value, and yet the military and political leadership dismissively mutters, “He’s just a bereaved father.” My response is always the same: Those who abandon the dead will abandon the wounded and the living. By bolstering Hamas, we invited their aggression. And as we’ve learned, there’s no barrier impervious to a determined enemy. READ MORE

Demand has been such that a Knesset command center was set up to handle the flood of applications last Tuesday. “There are now over 120,000 requests for the Firearms Division”… Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a national address on Wednesday, “We’re encouraging citizens, and helping citizens, to arm themselves with personal weapons for defense.” READ MORE
