A Jihadist Rocket Aimed at Israel Hit the Gaza Hospital, Killing 500+, Says IDF.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that intelligence sources indicate it was an Islamic Jihad terrorist group rocket that hit a Gaza hospital, killing hundreds, as opposed to an Israeli strike as first claimed by international corporate media and terror group Hamas. The IDF provided video to support their claims.

“Following an analysis by the IDF’s operational systems, a barrage of rockets was launched toward Israel, which passed in the vicinity of the hospital, when it was hit,” the IDF said in a statement posted on X. “According to intelligence information from a number of sources we have, Islamic Jihad terrorist organization is responsible for the failed rocket launch that hit the hospital.”

In the immediate aftermath of the blast, it was reported that upwards of 500 Palestinians had been killed with the number expected to rise. U.S. corporate media and some Members of Congress were quick to condemn the Israeli military, citing Hamas claims that it was an Israeli airstrike that hit the hospital. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said, “Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes.” Omar insinuated that it was the IDF that orchestrated the attack. CNN and MSNBC both reported that an Israeli airstrike was responsible for the deadly blast – repeating the claims made by Hamas.

Canadian Prime Minister Justine Trudeau, also appeared to uncritically accept Hamas’s narrative. “The news coming out of Gaza is horrific and absolutely unacceptable. International humanitarian and international law needs to be respected in this and in all cases,” Trudeau said shortly after the new broke.

“The barbaric terrorists in Gaza are the ones who attacked the Gaza hospital, not the IDF,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pushing back against corporate media that was quick to blame his country’s military. “Those who cruelly murdered our children, murder their children as well.”

The Islamic Jihad is a terrorist organization that seeks to establish an Islamist Palestinian state. It is the second-largest militant group in Gaza after Hamas and frequently uses rockets as a weapon of terror against Israel.

King of Jordan Says Neither His Country, Nor Egypt, Want Gaza Refugees.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II has rejected German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s proposal for neighboring Arab countries to take in Palestinian refugees fleeing the Gaza Strip amid the anticipation of an Israeli ground offensive. King Abdullah’s comments came during a press conference in Berlin on Tuesday after a meeting with Chancellor Scholz.

The Arab ruler emphasized Jordan and Egypt would not accept any refugees, stating it is a “red line” for both countries. Following a violent attack by Hamas on Israel, the Israeli government has urged civilians to evacuate the northern part of Gaza, citing the possibility of a ground offensive.

Chancellor Scholz plans to express solidarity with Israel during his visit to the country on Tuesday. He will then travel to Egypt, where he is scheduled to meet with President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on Wednesday.

At the press conference with King Abdullah, Chancellor Scholz criticized the use of civilians as human shields by Hamas, and emphasized that the Palestinian population was also a victim of the group. He further warned Hezbollah and Iran against intervening in the conflict, stressing the need to prevent further escalation.

46-Year-Old Muslim Man Kills One After Plowing His Car into California Crowd.

A 46-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after allegedly intentionally plowing his car into a number of pedestrians in Long Beach, California this weekend, killing one and severely injuring several others.

Long Beach authorities arrested Khalid Yagobbi after he remained at the scene of the incident on Saturday evening around 6:30 p.m. and was escorted to the hospital to treat his injuries. His bail has been set at $2 million.

Yagobbi’s victim, 60-year-old Romelia Aguilar Cuarenta, died at the scene following the incident. Her brother, Juan Carlos Cuarenta, said to the media after the event, “I want justice in respect to what happened. There was no reason for my sister to die such a tragic death.”

Those injured remain in hospital, with one’s condition being described as “critical.”

Authorities were bizarrely quick to dismiss motive, stating: “At this time, there is no indication that this incident was an act of terror nor associated with the current violence in Israel; however, the investigation is ongoing,” said the Long Beach Police Department.

“The violence and acts of terror abroad have generated concern and anxiety throughout our community, and this apparent act of violence has only added to that anxiety,” the police department added.

Biden Treasury Sec Yellen Says U.S. Can ‘CERTAINLY’ Afford Multiple Wars.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the United States can afford to continue funding the Ukrainian military in addition to new funding promises for Israel in its fight against the Hamas terrorist group. “America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and to support Israel’s military needs,” Yellen said in ahead of a meeting with global finance ministers in Luxembourg. “And we also can and must support Ukraine in its struggle against Russia.”

Yellen urged Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives to choose a speaker so that additional funds can be appropriated for both Ukraine and Israel. “It’s really up to the House to find, seat a speaker and to put us in a position where legislation can be passed,” Yellen said.

The inflation criss that has plagued the United States since President Joe Biden took office has resulted in the Federal Reserve rapidly increasing interest interest rates in response. As a result, the cost of servicing government debt has skyrocketed. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Biden administration paid $711 billion on net interest payments this year – an increase of $177 billion, or 33 percent, from fiscal year 2022. The average interest rate on Federal debt has gone from 1.5 percent in 2022 to nearly 3.0 percent today.

September’s economic data suggests that – while down overall from its peak – inflation remains elevated and well above the Federal Reserve’s 2 percent target. Some economists believe that that September’s ‘sticky’ inflation number will force the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates one more time before the end of the year – making any supplemental funding for the war efforts in Ukraine or Israel even more costly in terms of the debt it would generate.

The EU Will TRIPLE Palestinian Aid, One Week After Pledging to Suspend It.

The European Union (EU) is preparing to triple the amount of humanitarian aid it provides to the Gaza Strip, backtracking on its decision to suspend all aid and financial support to the area following Hamas’ violent incursion into Israel last weekend. 

The European Commission will now send €75 million instead of €25 million to the Hamas-controlled area, with the decision coming soon after a conversation between EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and the Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), Antonio Guterres, on Saturday. 

Elsewhere, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, is set to convene senior figures within the EU to address the bloc’s constant flip-flopping over the current conflict.

“We stand in full solidarity with the people of Israel and the victims of the terrorist attacks,” Michel stated before adding, “the unfolding tragic scenes in the Gaza Strip resulting from the siege and the lack of basic needs combined with the destruction brought by significant shelling, are raising alarm bells in the international community.”

However, EU financial and humanitarian aid has already been misappropriated by Hamas, with the widely recognized terrorist organization turning $100 million worth of EU-funded water piping into makeshift rockets to fire into Israel.

As BLM Sided With Hamas, Biden’s White House Honored George Floyd.

President Joe Biden‘s White House has honored and celebrated the 50th birthday of George Floyd, despite Black Lives Matter (BLM) having publicly voiced their support for Hamas, an internationally acknowledged terrorist organization.

The White House Briefing Room released a statement over the weekend reading, “George Floyd should be alive. He should be celebrating his 50th birthday with his young daughter Gianna, family, and friends. He deserved so much more.”

“Today, we join his family to honor his life and legacy. And we remember the tragedy and injustice of his death that sparked one of the largest civil rights movements in our nation’s history and inspired the world,” the statement added.

The Los Angeles branch of BLM – the organization most associated with the death of Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020 – meanwhile published its support for Hamas after conflict broke out between the group and Israel last weekend. It claimed, “As Black people continue to fight to end militarism and mass incarceration in our own communities, let us understand the resistance in Palestine as an attempt to tear down the gates of the world’s largest open air prison.”

The Chicago branch of BLM similarly shared its support for Hamas by posting a celebratory photo on X (formerly Twitter) of the terrorists who paraglided into Israel and slaughtered hundreds of people at a concert last week.

POLL: Majority Agree Israel Has ‘No Choice’ But to Eradicate Hamas.

Rasmussen polling shows a clear majority of Americans, across all parties, political ideologies, age groups, and ethnicities believe “Israel has no choice but to seek the complete eradication of Hamas in Gaza,” as Israeli forces instruct civilians to evacuate the north of the territory ahead of an expected ground offensive.

Sixty-six percent of all likely voters agree with the statement – including 41 percent who “strongly agree” – against 19 percent who disagree, and just seven percent who “strongly disagree”.

Anti-Hamas sentiment is strongest among conservatives, with 77 percent agreeing Israel should try to wipe the radical Islamic terror organization out, and weakest among liberals – but liberals are still supportive of Israel’s efforts overall, at 55 percent agree versus 29 percent disagree.

In terms of age groups, Americans over the age of 65 are most supportive of eradicating Hamas in Gaza, at 77 percent, and Americans aged 18 to 39 are the least supportive, at 53 percent.

Rasmussen also found most Americans – 53 percent of likely voters – believe “the Palestinians are mostly to blame” for the current conflict, against 24 percent who believe the blame should be shared equally, and ten percent who believe Israel is mostly to blame.

Black Americans and 18 to 39-year-olds are the groups most likely to blame Israel, at 19 percent, although pluralities of 41 percent and 33 percent still think the blame lies primarily with the Palestinians.

This is despite the fact multiple Black Lives Matter organizations have come out in “solidarity” with the Palestinians, with BLM Los Angeles describing Hamas’s mass murder of civilians in Israel as “self-defense”.

Israeli Diplomat Stabbed in China.

An Israeli diplomat has been stabbed in broad daylight in China, with his struggle with his assailant being captured on video.

The footage shows the embassy staffer, unnamed as of the time of publication, grappling on the ground with a knife-wielding man wearing white, who appears to stab him several times. A number of people can be seen walking or driving by the fracas, occasionally glancing in the direction of the attack but not stopping to intervene.

After brief break in the recording, the two men are seen still on the ground but now separated by a short distance. The bloodied Israeli climbs to his feet and walks away, while the knifeman rises slowly and limps off in the opposite direction.

“An Israeli employee at the Israeli embassy in Beijing was attacked today (not in the embassy area). The employee is being treated in hospital and his condition is stable,” the Israeli embassy confirmed, adding the “background of the attack is being investigated.”

WATCH: Mass Migration A ‘Grave Mistake’, Admits Kissinger.

Former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger claims allowing mass migration into Germany over the past several decades has been a “grave mistake” for the country.

Kissinger, 100, explained in a recent interview with Politico that it was “painful” to see hundreds of Arabs celebrating Hamas’ violent attack on Israel in the German capital of Berlin over the past few days.

“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts, because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that,” Kissinger explained.

Dozens of people gathered in Berlin to celebrate the attack perpetrated by Hamas – an intentionally recognized terrorist organization – earlier this week, with German authorities reporting chants of the banned song, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

The German government in response has promised to clamp down on those celebrating, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz suggesting on Thursday morning that glorifying Hamas or using its symbols could be prosecuted as a crime in the country.

However, celebrations were not merely confined to Berlin or Germany, as hundreds of similar events took place across European and American cities, such as London, Rotterdam, and New York.

U.S. Capitol Enhancing Security Ahead of Friday’s Pro-Hamas ‘Day of Rage’.

The U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) and the Senate Sergeant at Arms (SAA) announced an enhanced security plan ahead of anticipated “Day of Rage” protests supporting the terrorist group Hamas. In an announcement the USCP said they would begin enhanced operations Friday, with an increased presence of officers in and around the Capitol building. Additionally, some areas of the Capitol building itself will be restricted to Members of Congress, staff, and authorized visitors only.

The announcement emphasized the increased security was out of an abundance of caution: “USCP and partner agencies are not tracking any specific threats to the U.S Capitol Grounds or Senate state offices, and will continue to monitor and update the Senate community as necessary.”

Khaled Mashal, a former leader of the Hamas terrorist group, called for a day of global rage on Friday, October 13. According to Mashal, the mass demonstrations by supporters of Hamas is intended to send a “message of rage to Zionists and to America.” In response to the call for civil unrest, U.S. law enforcement is increasing its public presence especially in Jewish communities and at synagogues. Reports of increased chatter among Islamic extremist groups has heightened concerns Hamas supporters could engage in violence against. Americans.

Four days ago, Israel declared war on Hamas which governs the Gaza Strip. Hamas This is the first time Israel has formally declared a state of war since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. This past Saturday, Hamas launched a surprise attack against Israel, killing nearly 1,000 Israelis with an unknown number taken hostage. The Biden White House has confirmed 27 Americans were killed by Hamas, while others 14 remain unaccounted for.
