Michigan City Raises Palestinian Flags In Solidarity With Hamas-Controlled Gaza.

The Michigan city of Dearborn Heights, a part of the Detroit metropolitan area, has raised two Palestinian flags on either side of the city’s ‘welcome’ sign, apparently “highlighting the city’s support for the people of Palestine.” Boasting a population of nearly 60,000, roughly 25 percent of the city’s residents are of Arab extraction.

The larger neighboring city of Dearborn, with a population around roughly 100,000, has been derisively referred to “Dearbornistan” by various politicians and critics of Islam over the years. As of the 2020 Census, residents of Middle Eastern or North African background make up a majority of the Dearborn’s population at 54.5 percent.

President Joe Biden recently appointed Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud to the State Department’s Assembly of Local Leaders program. Hammoud, known for his staunch anti-Israel positions, has excused the Hamas terror attack on the Jewish state “inevitable”. In a previous social media statement, the Democratic mayor called for the eradication of the Jewish state. Both Hammoud and Democrat Congresswoman Rashida Tlabi – whose district includes both Dearborn Heights and the City of Dearborn, have continued to repeat the debunked claim that an Israeli airstrike was responsible for the explosion at the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza.

Calls for violence at antisemitic rallies in cities like Dearborn have drawn harsh criticism from U.S. lawmakers in the wake of the barbaric October 7th Hamas terror attack against Israel. Pro-Hamas demonstrators in Minneapolis, Minnesota – which hosts a sizable Somali Muslim population – attacked an elderly driver. Zach Metzger – one of the demostration organizers who is a radical, anti-police, far-left candidate for Minneapolis City Council – later tried to claim that the elderly man was the aggressor.

Israel Deploys 360,000 Reservists Amidst Gaza Push.

The Israeli government has summoned roughly 360,000 reservists to the front lines as the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) continues to push into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. The deployment represents the first combat in which reserve forces have been used since the invasion of Southern Lebanon more than 40 years ago.

The forces, comprised almost entirely of civilians and students, have been sent by the IDF to reinforce the country’s northern border with Lebanon, assist other units in the West Bank, and support intelligence and logistics.

Several divisions have also been tasked with going house to house in Gaza City in an effort to find and destroy the vast chain of tunnels built by Hamas. It is estimated the total daily cost of the reservist deployment is a staggering £200 million ($250 million).

One Israeli Colonel, known as “G,” explains, “Reservists do things differently… We’re not as well trained with the new systems or as fast as the conscripts when we turn up. But when we get going, we’re better. We bring all our experience and thoroughness to the job.”

“Without reservists, the IDF cannot fulfil its mission,” says Benny Ben Ari, The IDF’s chief reverse corps officer.

The deployment forms part of Israel’s objective to destroy the terrorist organization Hamas by launching a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza. Yet, a large number of the group’s leaders do not reside in the Gaza Strip but rather in Doha, Qatar.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib Exposed as Member of Secret Pro-Hamas Facebook Group.

Far-left U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib has been identified as a member of the Palestinian American Congress, a secret Facebook group known to glorify Hamas, the proscribed terror organization responsible for the October 7th terror raid on Israel.

Hidden from non-members and the platform’s search function, Tlaib has been a member of the ‘Palestinian American Congress’ for six years, and even used it to promote her election campaign in 2018.

Since the October 7th attacks, members have been posting pro-terror messages, including a picture of a Hamas fighters holding an elderly Jewish woman captive with the caption: “We don’t want to throw you in the sea… we want you to ride it back from where you came.”

Group founder Maher Abdel-qader, who has proven ties to Tlaib and links to other leftist politicians, has previously been exposed for sharing content questioning whether the Holocaust really happened and describing Jews as “Satanic”.

Tlaib herself was censured by the U.S. House of Representatives in a 234-188 vote last week.

Qatar Strikes 3-Day Truce Deal with Hamas, Israel Negotiating.

A three-day Gaza truce has been negotiated with Hamas by the State of Qatar, the wealthy oil kingdom that plays host to the senior leadership of Hamas. The deal, which would entail the release of around 50 hostages, has been coordinated with the Joe Biden regime in the United States.

Sources say the deal would also involve the release of Palestinians, supposedly women and children, currently held in Israeli prisons, although the numbers that would be involved are currently unclear.

Hamas has already agreed to the deal in principle, although the Israelis have not, and are still negotiating specific terms.

The Israelis have signaled any truce would be temporary, with war cabinet member Benny Gantz warning on Wednesday: “Even if we are required to pause fighting in order to return our hostages, there will be no stopping the combat and the war until we achieve our goals.”

Over 70% of Americans Unwilling to Volunteer If There Is a Major War.

Polling carried out after the Hamas terror raid on Israel on October 7th found 72 percent of Americans would be unwilling to volunteer to serve in the military if America entered a major conflict, compared to just 21 percent who said they would.

With the U.S. heavily involved in the Israel-Hamas war and the Russia-Ukraine war, still deeply enmeshed in Syria, and the possibility of an Indo-Pacific clash with China, the Echelon Insights findings suggest most Americans hold a more ‘America First’ view of foreign policy than the political establishment.

The U.S. military has shrunk by 39 percent since 1987, and the Army and Air Force both missed their recruitment targets for 2023 by 10,000, while the Navy missed its target by 6,000. The situation could pose significant problems in terms of the country’s war readiness if it persists, with infantry soldiers being relatively easy to train in a crisis but pilots and naval specialists, for example, requiring years of instruction.

Successive military interventions in the likes of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria have yielded questionable results, potentially turning off many recruits.

The traditionally conservative-leaning young people the military has often relied on for manpower may also have been deterred by its intolerant attitude towards unvaccinated Americans in recent years, and senior officers’ promotion of far-left interests such as drag and “white rage”.

NYC Charity Organizing Pro-Gaza Protests Has Chinese Communist Links.

A socialist non-profit from New York City which is co-leading pro-Gaza protests has extensive links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), investigations have revealed.

The People’s Forum, which describes itself as “a movement incubator for working class and marginalized communities to build unity across historic lines of division at home and abroad”, launched a “call to action” earlier this week for people to leave their work or schools to protest the so-called Gazan “genocide” on November 9th. The People’s Forum similarly assisted in coordinating with other pro-Palestinian entities for tumultuous demonstrations in Newark, New Jersey, among a number of other cities.

The same group has celebrated the Chairman of the CCP, Xi Jinping, and hosted multiple events in support of China’s “revolutionary struggle” against the United States. It also hosted events with Code Pink, a far-left group that has attempted to justify the CCP’s ongoing genocide of the Uyghur minority in the country’s Xinjiang province.

The People’s Forum was also given $3 million in 2019 by the United Community Fund, which The New York Times labeled as part of a CCP propaganda operation funded by the American socialist Neville Roy Singham.

Zelensky Says Those Calling for Ukrainian Elections Are ‘Irresponsible’.

In a Monday video address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said calls for holding an election are irresponsible in the midst of the nation’s ongoing military conflict with Russia. “We all understand that now, in wartime, when there are many challenges, it is utterly irresponsible to engage in topics related to an election in such a frivolous manner,” Zelensky said, before adding: “I believe that it’s not the right time for elections.”

The prospects of Zelensky moving forward with the 2024 Ukrainian presidential election have been murky for some time. Over 100 NGOs, several of which are funded by George Soros, recently made a public appeal asking that the elections be delayed. The ostensibly pro-democracy groups reasoned that an election could risk a “loss of legitimacy” for Zelensky’s government and undermine the war effort if he underperforms expectations. ““Elections alone do not constitute democracy,” the groups argued.

Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska appeared uncertain whether her husband would even run for re-election should they be held. While in Washington, D.C. with her husband to lobbying lawmakers on Capitol Hill for billions more in U.S. taxpayer dollars to be sent to Ukraine as military aid, the Ukrainian first lady appeared to indicate she was encouraging her husband to bow out of politics.

“Even when he ran for the first time, I didn’t fully endorse it,” Olena Zelenska said on CBS’s ‘Face the Nation’. “But if he runs again, if he runs for the second time, if he decided it is necessary — well, we have some experience, we’ve been there.” Zelenska went on to suggest next year’s election may not occur at all.

Poll: 20% of Democrats Side With Hamas.

A recent poll conducted by Issues and Insights and the Techno Metrica Institute of Policy and Politics revealed that in the midst of the Israel-Hamas conflict, one in five Democrats expressed support for Hamas. The survey, carried out between November 1-3, found 20 percent of Democrats sided with Hamas, while 54 percent expressed support for Israel. Twenty-six percent of respondents were unsure. In contrast, only 7 percent of Republicans expressed support for Hamas, with 71 percent siding with Israel. Independents were found to be more supportive of Israel (50 percent) compared to Hamas (6 percent), with a significant 44 percent remaining undecided.

The poll also analyzed the correlation between age groups and support. The younger participants aged 18-24 were more inclined to back Hamas (17 percent) or remain undecided (53 percent) than the older participants aged 65 and above, the majority of whom sided with Israel (84 percent). Amid the ongoing conflict, a noteworthy upsurge in antisemitic behavior has been reported by Jewish individuals nationwide.

On the issue of antisemitic behavior, the poll found 74 percent of respondents considering it a “serious” issue. Interestingly, a higher percentage of Democrats (82 percent) labelled the issue “serious” than Republicans (76 percent) and independents (66 percent). Conducted online and involving 1,400 adults, the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.

Pro-Israel Dems Blanket Rashida Tlaib’s District With Ads.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is drawing fire from fellow Democrats over her public support for Hamas and refusal to condemn the terrorist organization’s barbaric October 7th attack that resulted in the deaths of over 1,400 Israeli civilians and soldiers. Democratic Majority for Israel, a political advocacy group, has reserved just over $100,000 worth of airtime in the Detroit media market, which comprises much of Tlaib’s congressional district.

The ad, sponsored by Democratic Majority for Israel’s PAC, attacks Rep. Tlaib for taking a number of anti-Israel stances including calling for a ceasefire, her refusal to back a resolution condemning Hamas’s barbaric terror attack, and voting against U.S. funding for the Jewish-state’s Iron Dome – a defense system that protects the country from rocket attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah. “It’s important to us for people who live in the Detroit area to understand what her positions have been and just how out of step and radical her positions have been,” said Mark Mellman, the group’s president. “We hope that will lead her to either moderate her positions or perhaps for someone who is more moderate to be interested in the race.”

Tlaib has drawn criticism from both sides of the political aisle on Capitol Hill since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. Just over ten days after the attack, the Michigan Democrat lead a pro-Hamas protest outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C. culminating in a group of anti-Israel activists attempting to occupy the Cannon House Office Building. At least three protestors were arrested for assaulting a Capitol Police officer.

Last week Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduce a resolution to censure Tlaib over her support for Hamas. The censure resolution was tabled this week after 23 House Republicans joined Democrats to block the measure – an additional 13 Republican lawmakers did not vote.

WATCH: Jon Voight Dings Daughter Angelina Jolie’s ‘Lies’ on Israel-Hamas.

Jon Voight, famous actor and father of Angelina Jolie, has criticized his daughter’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war. He accuses Jolie of propagating what he calls “lies” on social media about the conflict. The actress, a previous special envoy of the UN High Commission for Refugees, has publicly accused Israel of executing deliberate attacks on children, women, and families deprived of basic necessities, asserting it as a violation of international law. In response, Voight expressed his disappointment in a video shared on X/Twitter, insisting on the necessity of the Israeli army to protect their country.

A surprise attack by Hamas on October 7 resulted in the death of approximately 1,400 Israelis, many civilians. Jolie reiterated her call for an immediate ceasefire and the provision of aid into Gaza.

In contrast, Voight defended the Israeli army. The Midnight Heat actor stressed this conflict relates to upholding the history and honor of the Holy Land. Voight’s comments have caused a stir, but no response from Jolie’s representatives has been reported yet. Jolie resigned as special envoy to the UNHCR in December 2022, having consistently advocated for displaced people and refugees’ rights and protection.
