Trump Warns Israel is ‘Losing the PR War,’ Urges End to Gaza Conflict.

Former President Donald Trump said Israel must quickly end its war against Hamas in Gaza as he warned the Jewish state is “losing the PR war.”

“Get it over with and let’s get back to peace and stop killing people. And that’s a very simple statement,” Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday. “They have to get it done. Get it over with and get it over with fast because we have to — you have to get back to normalcy and peace.”

Trump specifically called out Israel for releasing video footage of its military actions against the Palestinians. “They shouldn’t be releasing tapes like that,” he said. “That’s why they’re losing the PR war. They, Israel is absolutely losing the PR war.”“They’re releasing the most heinous, most horrible tapes of buildings falling down. And people are imagining there’s a lot of people in those buildings, or people in those buildings, and they don’t like it,” Trump continued. “They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”

Once supported staunchly in its conflict against Hamas by both Trump and Joe Biden, Israel has seen its support across the world dwindle as humanitarian concerns in Gaza grow. Trump earlier warned that Israel must “finish up” the conflict amidst waning support.

Support for the Jewish state has declined even more since then, following a seemingly intentional attack against foreign aid workers in Gaza this week. The attack marked a major turning point for Israel’s relationships with Western powers, as calls in the U.S. and the UK to stop sending arms to Israel are increasingly gaining support.

Churchill’s Grandson Tells UK to Stop Arming Israel.

Nicholas Soames, a British lawmaker and grandson of wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill, has joined calls for the British government to stop arming Israel following an Israeli airstrike that killed seven aid workers, including three British nationals.

Soames, a member of the House of Lords, said the Conservative government halting arms exports to Israel would demonstrate it was “determined to show that we are not prepared to countenance these ongoing disasters.”

“This is not a fog of war issue with these [aid workers]. They were quite clearly [aid workers],” Soames alleged.

“[T]hese people were doing the most wonderful work to provide aid to starving Palestinians… I think it is the message that matters,” he added.

Soames is a longtime Arabist, a once-dominant but now marginal wing of the Conservative Party which tends to deemphasize support for Zionism in favor of building strong relations with the Arab nations.

His intervention comes as 600 British legal scholars, lawyers, and judges, including three former Supreme Court justices, have written a letter to the British government arguing it will be in breach of international law if it continues to arm Israel.

Pope Asks for Faithful to Pray for Him. Here’s Why…

Pope Francis delivered his Easter Monday address to the faithful at Saint Peter’s Square, requesting personal prayers as he continues to struggle with respiratory problems. “Please do not forget to pray for me… Have a good lunch and until next time,” Pope Francis said.

Despite initial uncertainty due to his health, the Pope celebrated the two-hour Easter Vigil the night before. The Pontiff, 87, struggled with acute, infectious bronchitis throughout the winter. Besides personal requests for prayers, the Pontiff reiterated his call for global peace.

“Peace is never made with weapons, but with outstretched hands and open hearts,” the Pope said. He added: “Let us not allow the current hostilities to continue to have grave repercussions on the civil population, by now at the limit of its endurance, and above all on the children.” Drawing attention to the war-torn regions of the Middle East and Eastern Europe, he renewed his calls for a Russia-Ukraine prisoner exchange and a ceasefire in Gaza. The Pontiff also called for the immediate return of the hostages violently taken from Israel by Hamas during the Islamic terror group’s barbaric October 7 attack.

According to the Vatican, 60,000 people attended the Easter Mass this past Sunday. Following the Mass, Pope Francis greeted the faithful outside St. Peter’s, taking several laps around the piazza in his popemobile.

Protestors Dump Manure at SecDef. Lloyd Austin’s Home.

Pro-Hamas protestors have targeted a second official in the Biden government, dumping manure near the home of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. On Tuesday, anti-Israel protestors dumped a fecal pile at the home of Biden’s national security advisor, Jake Sullivan.

The protesters gathered outside the Austin residence and chanted, “Austin, Austin, you ain’t s–t, we’ll keep fighting until you quit” and “Austin, Austin, rise and shine, occupation is a crime!” This marks the latest escalation in anger among left-wing activists with President Joe Biden’s perceived support for Israel and refusal to demand a ceasefire in the Jewish state’s conflict with the Islamic terrorist group Hamas.

Video of the protest shows an enormous pile of manure deposited in the street in front of the Secretary of Defence’s home. The protestors additionally deployed devices that emanated smoke in the colors of the Palestinian flag.

In a similar act on Tuesday, pro-Hamas protesters flung manure outside of Sullivan’s residence while voicing their disapproval of Biden’s Israel policy with chants such as “Sullivan, Sullivan, you can’t hide, you’re committing genocide!”. This move sparked a swift response from the Secret Service and bomb squad.

The protests come on the heels of Austin and Sullivan’s recent meetings with Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Austin and General Gallant met on Tuesday, while Sullivan conducted discussions with Gallant on Monday.

Earlier this year, Austin went AWOL from the Pentagon for several days without the Biden White House being aware of his absence. It was later revealed the Defense Secretary had been hospitalized for prostate cancer treatment and a subsequent urinary tract infection.

Hamas Demands HALT to Aid Airdrops Because People Keep Dying From Them.

The UK dropped ten tonnes of aid on Gaza this week, leading to an outcry from local Hamas leadership as at least 12 Palestinians drowned trying to retrieve the drifting supplies at sea.

The desperate scenes unfolded on a beach in northern Gaza as residents, amid fears of impending famine due to Israel’s continued military campaign, raced to collect the floating aid parcels. In light of the tragic aftermath and further deaths caused by stampedes towards the aid, Hamas and the Swiss-based Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor have called for an immediate cessation of airdrop operations, requesting instead for increased access to aid through land crossings.

Hamas further demanded that Israel allow a larger influx of aid trucks into the territory. Unicef reinforced this request’s urgency, which stressed the need for aid via land routes to prevent an imminent famine. Despite the incident in Gaza, the U.S. National Security Council has vowed to continue efforts to deliver aid by road while also maintaining airdrop operations.

This incident is not the first time aid delivery tactics have ignited controversy. Frequently, the delivery vehicles themselves have proven lethal, leading to many causalities. Earlier this month, a U.S. aid drop crushed five Palestinians to death.

Trump Tells Israel to ‘Finish Up’ in Gaza Amidst Waning Support.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump urged Israel to conclude its war in Gaza, noting widespread global disapproval. Trump specifically expressed concern about images from Gaza showing bombs hitting residential buildings. This represents Trump’s most pronounced comments on the conflict following Hamas’s October 7 attacks and the subsequent Israeli defense.

“You have to finish up your war … You gotta get it done. And I am sure you will do that. And we gotta get to peace, we can’t have this going on,” Trump said in an interview with Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom. “And I will say, Israel has to be very careful, because you’re losing a lot of the world, you’re losing a lot of support,” he said. “Israel has to get better with the promotional and with the public relations because right now they’re in ruin.”

Trump also asserted that Joe Biden‘s long-standing foreign policy weaknesses led to the conflict. “He can’t talk. He’s a very dumb person. He’s a dumb person. His foreign policy throughout 50 years has been horrible,” Trump said. “If you look at people that were in other administrations with him, they saw him as a weak, ineffective president, they [Hamas] would have never done that attack if I were there.”

Trump’s comments follow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to cancel a trip to Washington after a U.N. Security Council resolution called for a ceasefire in Gaza, with the U.S. abstaining.

As Trump highlighted during the interview, global perception of — and support for — Israel has declined significantly as its war against Hamas has progressed. The Jewish state has faced numerous demands for a ceasefire, and a number of foreign powers have openly discussed imposing a two-state solution in the region.

Israel Says Sadiq Khan’s London is The World’s ‘Most Anti-Semitic City.’

Israel’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, says London, governed by Labour’s Sadiq Khan, is currently the world’s most anti-Semitic city.

Chikli believes the tension fostered by pro-Hamas supporters in London, where barely over a third of residents registered in the census are White British, surpasses the tension present in other international cities.

The Israeli highlighted the regular mass rallies in the heart of London since the Israel-Hamas war began following the latter’s terror raid on Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the murder of over 1,200 Israelis. Some of these rallies saw demonstrators call openly for jihad — with the city’s infamously woke police force defending them.

Chikli also cited an incident in which the phrase “from the river to the sea” was projected onto the clocktower of the Houses of Parliament — a reference to Islamists’ goal of establishing a Palestinian state ranging from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea, erasing Israel altogether.

He characterized this as a “call for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the State of Israel.”

An official report from Chikli’s department found “[n]early half of British Jews considered leaving the country due to the documented antisemitism,” and that “60 percent of British Jews experienced or know someone who experienced an antisemitic incident after the war.”

During an interview last month, Mayor Khan, who is Muslim, said his party was “proud to be both anti-racist but also anti-Semitic.” He subsequently attempted to take this statement back, but many observers believed the slip was Freudian.

DATA: 71% of Palestinians Support Hamas’s October 7 Terror Attack.

An overwhelming majority of Palestinians believe that Hamas made the right decision when it attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.

Seventy-one percent of Palestinians in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank support Hamas’s attack, according to a new poll from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.

Although the percentage of West Bank Palestinians who support the attack has decreased slightly since December — when 82 percent said they agreed with the decision — support in Gaza for the terror attack has increased, rising from 57 percent in December to 71 percent in March.

Palestinians also believe the current Israel-Hamas conflict is increasing the chances of establishing an official Palestinian state. When asked whether “the war on Gaza since October 7 has revived international attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that it could lead to increased recognition of Palestinian statehood,” 75 percent of respondents in both Gaza and the West Bank said “yes.” The survey also revealed that most Palestinians — 91 percent — do not think Hamas has committed war crimes. Ninety-three percent deny that acts of rape and killing civilians occurred on October 7.

A majority of Palestinians in both areas  — 52 percent in Gaza and 64 percent in the West Bank — believe Hamas should continue to rule Gaza once the war ends. Nearly two-thirds of respondents — 64 percent — believe Hamas will defeat Israel in the conflict.

The new poll comes as Western nations appear to be reexamining their once-strong support for Israel. The UK government has indicated its support for Palestinian statehood, and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris recently called for an immediate ceasefire. A majority of Americans now also support ending arms shipments to Israel until the current conflict is resolved.

Most Americans Want to Stop Sending Weapons to Israel.

Over half of Americans believe the U.S. government should stop supplying weapons to Israel.

A recent YouGov poll commissioned by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) found that 52 percent of Americans believe the Biden regime “should stop weapons shipments to Israel until Israel discontinues its attacks on the people of Gaza.”

The poll revealed a slight split along partisan lines. Sixty-two percent of those who voted for Biden in 2020 agreed with stopping weapons shipments, while only 14 percent disagreed. Conversely, 30 percent of Americans who voted for Trump in 2020 wish to stop weapons shipments to Israel. Sixty percent of those who did not vote in 2020 wish the government to stop sending weapons to Israel until a ceasefire in Gaza is reached.

Israel’s military action in Gaza has reportedly resulted in over 30,600 Palestinians dead and approximately 72,000 wounded. Moreover, the conflict has triggered significant internal displacement in Gaza, with a markedly inadequate supply of food, water, and medication for 85 percent of Gaza’s population.

As concerns mount over the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, many believe the U.S. should assume a hands-off approach to the Israel-Hamas dispute, considering the potential implications on wider regional stability. Such restraint echoes the sentiments of American voters in requesting a temporary halt in supplying weapons to Israel.

Once a stalwart supporter of the Israeli war effort, the Biden regime has been increasingly distancing itself from Israel in an attempt to woo Arab, Muslim, and progressive voters.

UK Govt Blows $128 MILLION on Security for Muslims.

UK Home Secretary James Cleverly is allocating £100 million (~$128 million) to security at Muslim community centers, schools, and mosques at a time when Islamists are intimidating British Jews, politicians, and Israel supporters over the war in Gaza.

The move has been framed as a response to a supposed increase in “hate crimes” targeting Muslims since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. However, it is pro-Palestinian demonstrators who have been regularly involved in large-scale, disorderly protests in London since the conflict began, some involving open calls for jihad.

“We will not let events in the Middle East be used as an excuse to justify abuse against British Muslims,” Cleverly said, claiming the funding would provide “reassurance and confidence to UK Muslims at a time when it is crucially needed.”

A significantly smaller sum of £70 million (~$90 million) has been allocated towards increasing security for the Jewish community. The Community Security Trust (CST) advocacy group says anti-Semitic incidents surged to 4,103 last year, over double the figure for 2022. In January, a group of Jews were attacked by a large mob “swearing in Arabic.” No such assaults against Muslims in the UK have been documented.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Conservative Party have been seeking to curry favor with Muslims since now-former Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson said London Mayor Sadiq Khan had handed control of the capital to his Islamist “mates,” resulting in his suspension from the party.

Anderson, a Member of Parliament (MP), has joined the Reform Party founded by Nigel Farage.
