Hamas Releases Mother and Daughter U.S. Hostages after Qatari Mediation.

The Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas terrorist organization, has announced that it has released two American hostages into Egyptian custody after intervening mediation by the Qatari government. Although it is currently unclear why the two American hostages – a mother and daughter – were released, Hamas is claiming it made the decision based on ‘humanitarian grounds.’

Two weeks ago Hamas terrorists operating out of the Gaza Strip launched a surprise attack against Israeli civilians, killing over 1,000 men, women, and children. The terrorist group, which govern’s the Gaza territory, took over 200 Israeli and American citizens hostage and indications are they intend to be used as human shields in Gaza if Israeli invades the territory.

Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defense minister, has ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip, vowing: “There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed.”

“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” Gallant said.

Last week U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) declared it is “time to take the war to the Ayatollah’s backyard,” urging the U.S. government to bomb Iran every time Hamas executes one of its Israeli hostages in Gaza. It is widely believed that Iran helped plan and execute Hamas’s attack on Israel.

The Republican war hawk told Fox that “for every Israeli or American hostage executed by Hamas, we should take down an Iranian oil refinery.”Hamas has threatened to execute one of the estimated 150 hostages it took back to Gaza during its 48-hour incursion into Israel on video every time “our people who are safe in their homes [are bombed] without warning” in Israeli air strikes.

Explosion Hits Ancient Gazan Church.

The ancient Church of St. Porphyrius in Gaza was caught in a devastating explosion on Thursday, with the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem blaming Israel for the blast.

Church officials say two halls in their compound were hit on Thursday while providing shelter to hundreds of people displaced by the war, including women and children.

“The Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem expresses its strongest condemnation of the Israeli airstrike that have struck its church compound in the city of Gaza,” the Church said in an official statement, describing the alleged bombing as a “war crime”.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) say they were targeting a Hamas command center and are aware of having “damaged the wall of a church in the area,” adding they are investigating the claims of civilian casualties.

Serving Christian communities dating back to the earliest days of Christianity, churches in Gaza and the West Bank are often critical of the Israel government – although their precarious position, surrounded by much larger Muslim communities in territory controlled by jihadist entities such as Hamas, likely plays a role on this.

The Church of St. Porphyrius dates back to the 5th century.

U.S. Govt Asylum Officer is Former Palestinian Spox Who Promoted Hamas.

A U.S. Asylum Officer tasked with deciding who should be granted legal status in America celebrated the Hamas attacks on Israel by posting pictures of armed terrorists paragliding into the Jewish State.

Nejwa Ali worked as a public affairs officer for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) before she was hired by the Department of Homeland Security to adjudicate asylum claims for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). She described herself as “American born, Palestinian [at] heart” on her social media, which was filled with anti-Israel rhetoric.

“Palestine will be free one day. F*** APARTHEID Israel and any Israeli that supports that bulls***. F*** you, may Allah forgive you. and spare us the crocodile tears, I sure as hell give zero f***s,” Ali wrote in one Instagram post.

“F*** Israel and any Jew that supports Israel,” she said in a similar Facebook post.

Elsewhere, Ali declared “Israeli, American privilege is disgusting,” and that she “hold[s] every Israeli accountable for their governments [sic] actions, IF they do not speak against Israel.”

USCIS insisted “applicants seeking employment with USCIS are thoroughly vetted and subject to extensive security and background checks before they can receive a permanent position with the agency” when asked about Ali.

It is unclear whether this is a lie, given her previous employment and social media activity, or if USCIS was aware of her behavior and hired her anyway.

MTV Music Awards in Paris Scrapped Amid Gaza War, Increased Terror Risk.

Paramount Global has announced the cancellation of the 2023 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs), saying it does not seem like an appropriate time for such a celebration – but also indicating fear of a radical Islamic terror attack played a role in the decision.

“The MTV EMAs are an annual celebration of global music. As we watch the devastating events in Israel and Gaza continue to unfold, this does not feel like a moment for a global celebration. With thousands of lives already lost, it is a moment of mourning,” the company said in a statement.

The awards ceremony, held every year since 1994, was due to take place in Paris, France – currently on high alert for acts of terrorism after violent protests over the conflict in Gaza, and a possible terror attack in Arras which saw a Chechen refugee stab a schoolteacher to death in broad daylight why crying “Allah hu Akbar!”

MTV said confirmed the awards were canceled “out of an abundance of caution for the thousands of employees, crew members, artists, fans, and partners who travel from all corners of the world to bring the show to life.”

MTG Pushes Censure for Hamas Useful Idiot Rashida Tlaib.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is seeking to censure Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib over her views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, announcing on X that Tlaib is an “Israel hating American hating woman who does not represent anything America stands for.”

Greene – known as ‘MTG’ – blasted Tlaib as the “Hamas Caucus Leader” in Congress after her colleague led a pro-Palestinian insurrection on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

Tlaib has repeated Hamas’ false claim that an Israeli airstrike killed hundreds of people in a Gaza Strip hospital, and criticized President Biden for not showing empathy towards Palestinian civilians.

FLASHBACK: Kassam Warned of West’s Palestinian Funding in 2010 Wall St Journal Op-Ed

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam warned the West was funding the radicalization of Palestinians over a decade ago in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, written while he was leading Britain’s ‘Coalition Against Hate Education’.

“[W]e can’t ignore what goes on in Israel and the Palestinian territories, if for no reason other than we’re affecting it: Our money is supporting indoctrination in the territories that is sowing the seeds of future conflict for decades to come,” Kassam explained in the 2010 article, describing how the United States, the European Union, and individual EU member-states had been pumping vast sums of money into the Palestinian territories – even as Hamas was winning (now abandoned) elections in them.

Kassam also addressed claims mechanisms could be put in place to ensure the money was not used to fund terrorism – similar to the claims the Joe Biden has regime has made with respect to the $6 billion it recently freed up for Iran – and provided examples of the money being misused, including an EU-funded game show, emblazoned with EU flags, claiming all of Israel as Arab territory.

“All this is particularly worrying given the demographics of the Palestinian population – some 42 percent are under 15 years old,” Kassam wrote, referring to public television broadcasts and school textbooks, paid for by Western largesse, praising Islamist insurgencies and hailing so-called martrys.

Thirteen years on, the warnings seem prescient: many of the Palestinian youths being indoctrinated in Gaza in 2010 will have been young adults by of this year’s deadly terror raid on Israel. Some may well have taken part in it.

WATCH: Hundreds of Muslims Pray Outside Downing St in London.

Hundreds of Muslims shut down central London after gathering to protest Israel’s supposed involvement in the explosion at the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday evening, which is now believed to have been caused by Hamas in a botched rocket launch attempt.

The gathering took place in front of Downing Street – home of the British Prime Minister – and stretched almost the entirety of Whitehall, the United Kingdom’s political quarter, situated yards from the Houses of Parliament.

Those in attendance demanded an end to the “massacre” of Palestinians and accused Israel of genocide, while waving Palestinian flags. Others sang, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” The crowd, predominantly comprised of young men, also stopped to pray, being led by an Imam who repeatedly chanted “Allah hu Akbar”.

One protestor, who claimed to be half-Palestinian, explained, “We are here to mourn everyone who has died in the last week, and since the beginning of the [Israeli] occupation.”

Similar events have occurred across Europe after Hamas’ violent incursion into Israel earlier this month, with many, such as in the German capital of Berlin, becoming violent and targeting local Jewish residents.

Egypt Threatens to Send a Million Gazans to Europe.

Egypt is stridently refusing to take in Palestinian refugees, and has warned the European Union (EU) it will send Europe a million Gazans if they are pressured into opening their border – despite accepting billions in financial assistance from the bloc.

“You want us to take one million people? Well, I am going to send them to Europe. You care about human rights so much – well, you take them,” a senior but so far unnamed Egyptian official told one of his European counterparts this week, according to Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper.

This follows King Abdullah II of Jordan insisting there would be “no refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt” at a press conference in Germany.

Egypt’s population has exploded from around 27 million in 1960 to roughly 110 million today, so taking in a million Gazans would not present any serious issues for the country in terms of its demographics or age structure. They would also pose fewer cultural and social issues than in Europe, as both Gazans and Egyptians are predominantly Arabic-speaking Sunni Muslims.

Nevertheless, it is leftist politicians in small European nations even outside the EU, such as Humza Yousaf in Scotland, who seem most keen on taking in Palestinians.

“In the past, people in Scotland and across the UK have opened our hearts and our homes; we’ve welcomed those from Syria, from Ukraine, and many other countries… we must do so again,” said the First Minister – roughly equivalent to a U.S. state governor – whose in-laws are currently in Gaza.

Hamas Sympathizers Stage ‘Insurrection’ Inside US Capitol, Assault Cops.

Protestors calling for Israel to accept the attacks from Hamas without response staged disruptive protests outside the U.S. Capitol and inside Congressional office buildings on Wednesday. U.S. Capitol Police appear to have made multiple arrests as protestors have refused to disperse from inside the Cannon House Office Building, with such behavior once labeled an “insurrection” by almost all left-leaning politicians and the corporate media.

According to the Capitol Police, protestors inside Congressional office buildings will be charged with illegally protesting inside a House Office Building. At least three have been arrested for assaulting police.

Hundreds of members of the pro-Palestinian group Jewish Voice for Peace took over the lobby of the Cannon House Office Building, staging a sit-in. Protestors were able to hang a black banner with the word “Ceasefire” painted on it from the second floor balcony of Cannon as police struggled to maintain control.

Outside, on the Capitol grounds, additional protestors were egged on by a handful of Members of Congress including Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). Tlaib once again falsely claimed that the Israeli military was responsible for the explosion at a Gaza hospital that resulted in civilian casualties. The Israeli and U.S. governments have both concluded that the deadly blast was caused by Islamic Jihad rocket aimed at Israel that misfired and hit the hospital parking lot.

Tlaib also had strong words for President Joe Biden, warning her party’s leader that American Muslims won’t forget his decision to back Israel: “A lot of people are not gonna forget this… the fact of the matter is, our lives aren’t safe with you.”

Yesterday, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the U.S. Capitol Police notified Congressional staffers that a “heightened security posture and an increased police presence will be in place Wednesday…”, noting that Capitol Square would be restricted to Members of Congress, staff, and those on official business. The alert also recommended that Members and staff use the underground tunnels that connect the Congressional office buildings with the U.S. Capitol.

3 French Airports Evacuated Following Similar Security Alerts at Louvre & Versailles.

Airports in the French cities of Lyon, Toulouse, and Lille have been evacuated in the latest string of security alerts in the “multicultural” nation since a Hamas terror raid on Israel.

The Palace of Versailles, once the seat of the French royal family, was evacuated “for security reasons” on Wednesday – the third such incident since the weekend. The Louvre Museum, home to iconic artworks including Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, was also evacuated Saturday.

France has been on high alert since the ongoing clash between Israel and jihadist groups including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Middle East heightened tensions Western Europe, where Muslims have turned out in large numbers to support the Palestinians.

A Chechen refugee on the country’s national watch list stabbed a teacher to death just days ago while shouting “Allah hu Akbar” – although the incident was yet to be definitively linked to events in Israel as of the time of publication.

France, home to Europe’s largest Muslim population, has been targeted by more radical Islamic terror attacks than any other country on the continent in recent years, with the deadliest being the 2015 attacks which saw 131 people massacred at the Bataclan theater and elsewhere in Paris.
