Letter Blaming Israel for Hamas Attack

The reaction to the Hamas attack on Israel by left wing college students has been horrible and Harvard is no exception.Several student groups at Harvard University have withdrawn their signatures from a controversial document blaming Israel as “entirely responsible” for the Hamas terror attack on Israeli civilians, following intense backlash. Dozens of student groups from the elite school signed a letter blaming Israel and supporting Palestine, which is represented by Hamas. The public reaction to this has been near-universal disgust, and now these Harvard students are starting to worry about their future employment prospects.

In October 2020 – just days before the presidential election – 51 former intelligence officials signed and published a letter that baselessly decried the contents of Hunter’s ‘laptop from hell’ had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
This was a lie. They all knew it was a lie.
In March, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) introduced a House Resolution that would strip security clearances from dozens of federal intelligence officials who signed on to the letter declaring the infamous Hunter Biden laptop as “Russian disinformation” shortly after it emerged leading up to the rigged 2020 election.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer has formally ruled out a Speakership bid as House Republicans slowly but surely rally around Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the GOP conference nominee for Speaker,in the drawn out Speakership fight, as it enters its third week.
“Whip Emmer has no plans to run for Speaker,” Team Emmer Executive Director Michael McAdams told Breitbart News on Friday night. “Whip Emmer spoke to Congressman Jordan directly this AM and told him he was supporting him. We have been in touch with his team all day in support.”
Up to 100 protesters have been arrested at a Pro-Palestine demonstration outside the Brooklyn home of Jewish Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer.
The protesters called for an end to US aid for Israel on a day of mass protest in New York and around the world after the leader of Hamas called for a global 'day of outrage.'
Hundreds of people, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, gathered at the Grand Army Plaza before marching a short distance to the senator's Park Slope residence and blocking the street.
An American family whose loved ones told them they were about to be murdered by Hamas during a heartbreaking phone call have been informed their relatives are alive in a beacon of hope to dozens of distraught families.
Jay Zeitchek, 70, who lives in New Jersey, told DailyMail.com that the last words his family heard from their relatives in Israel as savage terrorists descended on their home were: 'I don't we can survive, I love you.'
They were then seen being taken hostage by gunmen in a chilling video circulating on social media.
13 Basic Facts to Defend Israel

During the past week, I found that even most well informed Americans know very little about the causes of the war between Jews and Arabs in Israel. Here is a summary of 13 basic facts I think every American should know:
Until 1964, the word “Palestinian” rarely described Arabs who once lived in Israel. That was when KGB Agents of Communist Russia created and funded a terrorist group called the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Its leader, Yasser Arafat, was born and raised in Egypt. The PLO was as artificial as other effective and deadly groups communists used during the Cold War
Jim Jordan has been officially nominated as the Republican’s choice for Speaker, beating out Steve Scalise ally Austin Scott of Georgia. (X) It was not a massive margin, though. The total was 124-81.Cristina Laila previously reported that Jim Jordan entered the race for Speaker today. She also reported that Scott launched a last minute challenge to stop him.
Jordan will now face off against Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) provided he can garner enough support. The Hill notes this could prove a challenge, however.
A controversial San Francisco progressive lawmaker has quit X, claiming he no longer feels safe after Elon Musk targeted him - but locals claim he's really left over outrage about his stance on the Israel massacre.
Dean Preston announced his plans to quit the social media site formerly known as Twitter earlier this week - and blamed a personal attack by its billionaire owner for driving him off.
Musk and other San Franciscans say Preston's progressive policies have contributed to the ruination of the city, now a byword for open drug-taking, ram-raids and violent crime. But many critics believe Preston is using the Musk excuse to deflect outrage over

President Joe Biden on Friday ignored questions from the press about a phone call he had with the families of the 14 Americans missing in Israel as he departed the White House on his way to Philadelphia. (X Video) The White House said Biden earlier in the day participated in a call with the families of the 14 Americans missing in Israel, seven days after Hamas launched terrorist attacks in the country on Saturday, killing more than 1,300.
The White House told reporters:

Major US banks are continuing to close branches across the US, leaving an increasing number of Americans without access to basic financial services.
Bank of America axed 21 branches in the first week of October, according to a bulletin published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on Friday.
Wells Fargo shuttered 15, while US Bank and Chase reported closing nine and three respectively. In total, some 54 locations had either closed or were scheduled to close between October 1 and October 7. Of the overall closures, three were in Louisville in Kentucky. Eight of the 21 Bank of America closures were in California.

House Republicans tapped Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) as their nominee for speaker a day after their initial candidate, Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), failed to consolidate enough party support to win the majority vote on the full House floor.
In a closed-door meeting on Friday, Republicans voted 124-81 to nominate Jordan, giving him the edge over Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA), who announced his own long-shot bid for the speaker’s gavel earlier in the day. It’s not yet clear when Republicans will refer the matter to the full House for a vote because Jordan will still need to firm up support with a handful of holdouts.
The House Oversight Committee this week revealed that five White House employees were involved in Biden’s stolen classified documents case.

(Photo) Biden also stored classified documents in his garage next to his Corvette where his son Hunter had access to the sensitive materials.

But some of the worst from media have come from MSNBC. People have called them out for their horrible takes, including trying to "both sides" the attack by Hamas on Israel.

This is the moment a BBC journalist broke down in tears while reporting from inside a hospital in war-torn Gaza as he described having 'seen things I can never unsee'.
BBC Arabic reporter Adnan El-Bursh fell to his knees and removed his glasses before wiping his face as he was overcome by emotion at the Al Shifa Hospital yesterday.
Mr El-Bursh and his team - including cameraman Mahmoud al-Ajrami, who was also left in tears - had discovered that their friends, relatives and neighbours were among those injured or killed in the hospital and he described how 'bodies lay everywhere'.

JERUSALEM — Israel’s military on Friday directed the evacuation of northern Gaza, a region that is home to 1.1 million people — about half of the territory’s population — within 24 hours, a U.N. spokesman said.
This could signal an impending ground offensive, though the Israeli military has not yet confirmed such an appeal. On Thursday it said that while it was preparing, a decision has not yet been made.
The order, delivered to the U.N., comes as Israel presses an offensive against Hamas militants. U.N. spokesman Stéphane Dujarric called the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Friday on Israel to limit Palestinian civilian deaths as he worked to set up safe areas in the Gaza Strip, seeking to keep calm in the Arab world following a major Hamas attack.
After a solidarity visit to Tel Aviv, Blinken, on a six-nation tour of the Arab world, again defended Israel's right to respond but also stepped up the tone on protecting innocent Palestinians. "We have urged the Israelis to use every possible precaution to avoid harm to civilians," Blinken told a news conference in Qatar.
"We recognise many Palestinian families in Gaza are suffering through no fault of their own

Sign Letter Condemning Hamas Terrorist

Hundreds of Hollywood actors and executives, from Michael Douglas to Jerry Seinfeld to Gal Gadot, have signed a letter expressly condemning the terrorist attack in Israel at the hands of Hamas.
The letter from the nonprofit Creative Community for Peace included 700 signatures and condemned Hamas for “barbaric acts of terrorism” in Israel that “must be called out by everyone.”
“The nightmare that Israelis have feared for decades became a reality as Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israeli cities and towns,” the message stated.
“Under the cover of thousands of rockets fired indiscriminately into civilian populations, Hamas murdered and kidnapped innocent men, women, and children. They kidnapped and murdered infants and the elderly.
The only question is how much of that will we be paying.
But sure. Why not pump another $294 million into the terror nests after all the billions we’ve already spent subsidizing them? What could possibly go wrong?
The United Nations issues an emergency appeal for $294 million to address “the most urgent needs” in Gaza and the West Bank.
The funds would be used to help more than 1.2 million people, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says, stressing that aid groups do not have “the resources required to adequately respond to the full range of needs of vulnerable Palestinians.”
You could address some pretty urgent needs
Far-left Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis lashed out at House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Wednesday for demanding she answer questions about her RICO and conspiracy investigation into Trump and 18 of his associates and lawyers.
Fani Willis once again refused to cooperate with Jim Jordan and accused him of being ignorant of the law.
“A charitable explanation of your correspondence is that you are ignorant of the United States and Georgia Constitutions and codes,” Fani Willis wrote in response to a letter from Jim Jordan, The Hill reported.
“A more troubling explanation is that you are abusing your authority as Chairman of the Committee
Pro-Hamas demonstrations show European nations, including Germany, made a “grave mistake”, and the continent should be concerned about future hostage-taking raids against its own people if the idea isn’t defeated quickly, Henry Kissinger warns.
Europe is subject to internal pressure by groups of people “of totally different culture and religion” because of the “grave mistake” of admitting too many foreigners, Henry Kissinger said of the phenomenon of demonstrations across Europe in support of Hamas terrorists this week.
Israel is on the cusp of an armed military incursion into the Gaza Strip to battle Hamas militants who slaughtered hundreds of civilians this past weekend in a series of ruthless surprise attacks.
In the meantime, Israel's air force is pounding Gaza with constant airstrikes in an attempt to reduce Hamas infrastructure and military targets to rubble.
There's just one problem.Hamas does not operate like a normal enemy, nor do they live in obvious, above-ground compounds or travel through the streets like most Palestinian civilians bearing the brunt of Israel's bombs.
Harvard president Claudine Gay has condemned the 'barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas' - but rejected calls to punish pro-Palestine groups who justified the attack that killed over 1,000 Israelis.
In her third statement since the attacks on Saturday, Gay posted a video message titled 'Our Choices' on Thursday to social media addressing calls for the Harvard students who blamed Israel for the horrific attack to be punished.
'People have asked me where we stand so let me be clear, our university rejects terrorism. That includes the barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas. Our university rejects hate - hate of Jews, hate of Muslims, hate of any group of people

The Department of Justice (DOJ) put financial institutions on notice for rejecting illegal immigrants’ credit applications.
The DOJ issued the warning in a joint statement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Thursday. (snip) The two agencies claimed that the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) protections for national origin and race extended to alienage, though they admitted that no such explicit provisions spelled out their interpretation. The agencies conceded that creditors could rely on immigration status to determine repayment ability, but then cautioned against “unnecessary or overbroad reliance” on immigration status.
