BLM’s LA Branch Backs Hamas Terrorism.

In a statement posted on their verified Instagram account, Black Lives Matter (BLM) Los Angeles have endorsed the Hamas terror raids on Israel over the weekend, calling their “resistance” an act “of self-defense.”

BLM Los Angeles, which boasts almost 300,000 followers, was reposting the statement from sister organization BLM Grassroots.

“[W]e must stand unwaveringly on the side of the oppressed,” the group declared. “When a people have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense.”

“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,” they said. “As a radical Black organization grounded in abolitionist ideals, we see clear parallels between Black and Palestinian people.”

“We, too, dream of a world where our people may live freely on decolonized land,” they continued, referring to Israeli Jews as settler colonialists and saying they look forward to a day when borders, watch lists, police, and prisons “crumble”.

The number of people killed during the Hamas incursion into Israel is currently estimated at 900 men, women, children, and elders, including a grandmother who was forced to open her phone for her killers so they could post her murder to her Facebook page for her family to see.

Lindsey Graham Wants to Bomb Iran Every Time an Israeli Hostage Is Executed.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has 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.

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.

“The only way you’re going to keep this war from escalating is to hold Iran accountable,” Graham suggested – although directly attacking Iran would of course immediately escalate the war, and likely cause a massive oil price shock by closing down the Strait of Hormuz.

Nevertheless, Graham said he was “confident this was planned and funded by the Iranians,” branding Hamas “a bunch of animals who deserve to be treated like animals” and urging Israel to “go in on the ground.”

“This is the best opportunity Israel has to destroy Hamas,” he continued. “Take it to the Iranians. If you harm one American in Syria by using your Iranian militia against us in Syria, if you escalate the war by urging Hezbollah to attack Israel in the north, if Hamas kills one American Israeli hostage, we’re going to blow up your oil refineries and put you out of business.”

Second Day White House Goes Dark Before Noon, No Updates On Americans Held Or Killed By Hamas.

For the second day in a row now, the Biden White House has ‘called a lid‘ before noon – meaning members of the press should not expect any additional comments or public appearances from the President. The decision to end press availability so early in the day when many Americans remain on edge regarding events unfolding in the Middle East would be considered an unusual, if not reckless, move under any prior administration.

A little over an hour after the White House called the press lid, Hamas announced that they would begin executing hostages on live television for every citizen in Gaza killed by an Israeli airstrike. At least nine Americans have been confirmed dead after Hamas launched a deadly surprise incursion into Israel over the weekend and an unknown number have been taken hostage by the terrorist organization.

Yesterday, as Israeli forces fought to regain control towns and territory seized by Hamas terrorists the White House called an early press lid – again before noon. Later in the day when the designated White House press pool reporter inquired about the music they could hear coming from the Rose Garden, they were informed that President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden were hosting a BBQ. The event was for White House Executive Staff and their families and featured a live band.

While there has been no indication from the White House that President Biden plans to deliver a formal address to the nation regarding the status of American hostages in Gaza or the ongoing crisis after Hamas’s barbaric attacks against Israel, the President will be delivering the keynote address at the pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner on Saturday.

‘Where Should We Go?’ – Gazans Left Stranded by Hamas, Which Operates ZERO Shelters for Civilians.

Palestinians in Gaza are bracing for an offensive of unprecedented scale as Israel’s military sends phone messages urging them to evacuate certain areas. Many residents, like 55-year-old Mohammad Brais, are unsure where to seek safety as Hamas – which has been in power since 2006, refusing to hold fresh elections for 18 years.

“Where should we go? Where should we go?” the 55-year-old father asked, according to Reuters.

“Many of us got phone calls, audio messages from Israeli security officers telling us to leave because they will operate there,” said another Gaza resident, who chose to remain anonymous.

Gaza does in fact share a border with another country apart from Israel – Egypt. But even the Egyptian government regularly blockades the border for national security reasons.

This weekend’s surprise attack by Hamas terrorists has resulted in near 1000 deaths and dozens more taken captive in Gaza, marking Israel’s bloodiest day in decades. Palestinian officials reported over 500 people dead and 2,700 wounded, with 80,000 displaced since the hundreds of strikes began – meaning the actions of the Qatar-sponsored Hamas are not just ending and wrecking the lives of Israelis, but those of Palestinian Arabs, too.

Israel Orders ‘Complete Siege’ of Gaza.

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

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

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) believe as many as a thousand Hamas terrorists entered Israeli territory on Saturday, with military and other officials as well as ordinary civilians massacred at scale, hostages dragged back to Gaza, and a number of towns occupied.

Hamas took longer to dislodge from these areas than expected, but the IDF reported it was back in control of all border towns on Monday morning, though it was “possible there are still terrorists in the area.”

Israel confirms around 700 of its citizens were killed during the incursion, although this could rise as more information emerges from the targeted areas.

The fate and total number of the hostages taken by Hamas also remains unclear, although at least some have already been murdered.

BREAKING: EU Suspends Palestinian Aid.

The European Union (EU) has suspended its foreign aid payments to Palestinian territories following Hamas’ terrorist incursion into Israel this weekend. The bloc announced it would be putting €691 million ($728 million) worth of humanitarian aid “under review” on Monday morning.

Oliver Varhelyi, the European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, took to X (formerly Twitter) to explain that in addition to all EU payments being suspended, all ongoing projects would be placed under review, all new budget proposals will be postponed, and an assessment of the “whole portfolio” will be undertaken.

The move follows the decision of the German government to cease aid payments until there has been a “comprehensive” examination into how the money was being allocated by the Palestinian regime.

The Austrian government announced a similar move, with Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg telling a national radio station, “The extent of the terror is so horrific . . . that we cannot go back to business as usual.”

The EU has provided aid to Hamas for a number of years despite labeling Hamas, the organization governing Gaza, a “terrorist organization.”

Oil Prices Are Now Rising, & Biden Already Drained The Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Global benchmark Brent crude futures soared to $87.20 per barrel on Monday morning, while West Texas Intermediate futures in the United States landed on $85.7 per barrel, having initially passed $86. This represents an increase in oil prices of over 3.1 percent globally and over 3.5 percent domestically, as the markets react to Israel declaring war over the weekend in response to an armed incursion from Gaza.

The United States is particularly exposed to the price surge. President Joe Biden drained much of the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve last year in an effort to hold down the price of gas, after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) openly snubbed him and cut production despite his begging them no to do so.

Worse still, in August, the Biden regime delayed plans to restock the reserve, hoping prices would fall.

U.S.-led efforts to embargo or cap the price of Russian oil in order to starve Moscow of revenue, which have proved unsuccessful, have also left America and its allies more exposed to price shocks caused by events in the Middle East. Anti-energy independence policies such as the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline and pauses on gas and oil leases, too, have undermined national resilience.

Analysts believe the current spike in prices may just be a “knee-jerk” response to the attack on Israel, and markets can recover – but this could change if Iran is drawn into the conflict, disrupting oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan is Amplifying Anti-Israel Content Right Now.

Far-left MSNBC presenter Mehdi Hasan is amplifying anti-Israeli sentiment and content on social media by sharing multiple videos and posts on X (formerly Twitter) that seek to downplay Hamas aggression in the region.

Hasan reposted a number of posts that sought to shift the blame from Hamas to Israel, including, one that read: “unprecedented failure of israel intelligence—the most important component of the country’s national security…utter desperation of gaza palestinians, with many seeing no options for their future but the launch of a suicidal war.”

Hasan shared another condemning the same video’s “apocalyptic language,” adding “The scale of Israeli war crimes in Gaza is likely to exceed anything we have seen before.”

He further shared another post that blamed everyone other than Hamas – an internationally acknowledged terrorist organization – for the attack:

“This is a colossal intelligence failure by Israel for sure. But it is also a massive political and moral failure by the US, EU and the rest of the int’l community who have been content to maintain the status quo as long as it was mostly Palestinian that paid the price.”

Hasan spent a vast amount of his time in the UK deriding non-Muslims as “cattle” and “animals” before landing his position as a presenter for MSNBC in the United States. He also infamously stated at an Oxford debate he would not “take lessons in anti-Semitism from someone who’s here to defend the Judeo-Chrisitian values of a continent that murdered six millions Jews.”

Murdoch Journo ‘Sorry’ After Hailing ‘Bravery, Intensity’ of Hamas.

A journalist for the Murdoch-owned newspaper The Times has referred to Hamas’ violent incursion into Israel by describing the terror group’s “bravery, intensity, and incredible ability…” while interviewing an Israeli diplomat just hours after the attack.

Chloe Tilley, a presenter for Times Radio as well as the British Broadcasting Corporation, later apologized, blaming an incorrect choice of words due to “four hours of live broadcasting.”

Alon Pinkas, the diplomat with whom Tilley spoke, was forced to “correct [her] English” and referred to Hamas’ “audacity” after it launched the assault that has already seen hundreds of Israelis dead and kidnapped and thousands injured as a result.

Pinkas further explained, “[Hamas militants] are coming from the sea, they are coming from the air, they are coming on the ground and are killing children and civilians: so there is not much bravery in doing that.”

Hamas, the organization governing the Gaza Strip, has been designated a “terrorist organization” by dozens of countries throughout the world, including the United States and the 27 countries comprising the European Union.

Tilley’s remarks were quickly criticized by many online, with the Conservative Member of Parliament Brendan Clarke-Smith arguing, “I’m not sure I’d describe what [Hamas] is doing right now as ‘brave’ either [Chloe Tilley].”

The National Pulse reached out to Ms. Tilly for comment, whereupon she highlighted a statement made on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday: “Four hours of live broadcasting sometimes we choose the wrong words in the moment but I’m always willing to acknowledge it.”

Mike Pence Blames Hamas Terror on Trump, Vivek, and DeSantis?

Former Vice President Mike Pence has bizarrely suggested that his Republican opponents in the 2024 nominee race – former President Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis – are responsible for Hamas’ violent terrorist incursion into Israel over the weekend.

Pence made the remarks during an interview with CNN on Sunday, initially blaming President Joe Biden’s foreign policy on issues ranging from Afghanistan to the Iran nuclear deal before taking aim at his GOP adversaries.

“I also believe this is what happens when we have leading voices like Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis signalling retreat from America’s role as leader of the free world. What happened in Ukraine was an unprovoked invasion by Russia, what happened this weekend was an unprovoked invasion by Hamas into Israel,” claimed Pence.

The former Vice President has become increasingly critical of Donald Trump’s populist policies in recent weeks, despite himself having worked side-by-side with the 45th President throughout the administration. He even claims that Trump’s populism is a “road to ruin.”

Pence’s presidential campaign has hitherto completely failed to get off the ground, and has not been able to poll consistently higher than five percent.
