News- US

http://youtu.be/yEktlOJikVw Israel has directed the massive evacuation of up to 1.1 million Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip within the next 24 hours ahead of a possible ground invasion targeting Hamas terrorists. The warning was first shared by the United Nations early Friday before the Israeli military sent out a public evacuation order that the international organization called “impossible.” “Today team leaders of the UN Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the Department of Safety and Security in Gaza were informed by their liaison officers in the Israeli military that the entire population of Gaza north of Wadi Gaza should relocate to southern Gaza within the next 24 hours,” UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told Axios.

Harvard president Claudine Gay rejects punishing students behind anti-Israel letter

News- US

http://youtu.be/GFumXUTFbA4 Harvard president Claudine Gay pushed back on attempts to name students who signed a letter blaming Israel for the massacres committed by Hamas amid mounting criticism of her handling of the crisis. Gay said the Ivy League school “embraces a commitment to free expression” in a video released Thursday night — her latest attempt to quell outrage from famous Harvard alumni including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. “That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous,” Gay said. “We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views, but that is a far cry from endorsing them.” Gay, who again condemned the “barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas,” did not spec...

NYPD needs to step up counterterrorism after attack on Israel: former top cop Bill Bratton

News- US

http://youtu.be/gpi6jmwG1w0 With the NYPD ordering all officers to report in uniform Friday because of potential unrest stemming from the war in Israel, former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton slammed the New York City Council for anti-police sentiment that’s spurred a drop in the number of cops. NY Post reporter Dana Kennedy shares this story. This comes as a former leader of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, called on Muslims to stage global demonstrations in support of Palestinians Friday. Bratton told The Post the NYPD is down about 3,000 to 4,000 officers since he left the top job in 2016. “The department is down to about 33,000 officers,” he said. “During my time, we were able to grow the department to about 36,000 or 37,000.

Chilling video captures Israeli women dodging bullets as local forces confront Hamas terrorists

News- US

http://youtu.be/0qaMVeZBM6I Dramatic video captured two women taking cover behind a car during crossfire between Israeli forces and murderous Hamas terrorists at a settlement near Gaza. Security footage published by Reuters shows one woman fleeing as the terrorists arrive in a pickup truck at Moshav Yachini on October 7 when the terrorists stormed Israel, killing at least 1,300 and taking more than 100 hostages. Two other women take cover behind a white car amid intense gunfire as the terror group launches its unprecedented attack on Israel. Several terrorists are seen jumping off the vehicle as they swarm the gated kibbutz near the Gaza border. Three IDF soldiers run over to make sure the area is clear and appear to instruct the women, including one who appears to be limping, to leav...

Policeman dad saves daughter who hasn’t spoken to him in years from Hamas massacre

News- US

http://youtu.be/tYDcRRkf9BI When Hamas terrorists came to murder a 22-year-old woman and her boyfriend in southern Israel Saturday, she turned to the only person she knew could save her — her estranged father, whom she had not seen or spoken to in six years. Shimon Portal, an Israeli police officer, was responding to armed gunmen rampaging in the nearby city of Sderot when he got a text message from his daughter, Neta, telling him: “they are close.” The father and daughter had not communicated since she was a teenager after her parents’ divorce. Shimon texted back, instructing Neta Portal to “lock the doors.” Neta and her boyfriend, Santiago, were at their home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas militants overran the small agricultural community, indiscriminately massacring men, women and...

North Korea has shipped thousands of weapons to Russia: White House

News- US

Biden trips in Philadelphia before saying Hamas makes ‘Al Qaeda look pure’

News- US

http://youtu.be/FDbKmlBAjrE President Biden stumbled twice Friday while walking up the steps of a stage in Philadelphia — before telling his audience that Al Qaeda terrorists seem “pure” next to those from “evil” Hamas. The 80-year-old president initially staggered as he began to climb a small set of stairs to the stage, then lurched forward as he threatened to lose his balance completely — recalling a bad spill he took earlier this year during the Air Force Academy commencement exercises. When Biden regained his footing, he theatrically gripped the railing with both hands and mugged for his audience before making his way to the lectern and giving an unexpected appraisal of the global terror network that carried out the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, killing 2,977 people at the World Trade Cen...

Adam Guillette – the president of the nonprofit news watchdog Accuracy in Media that deployed the vehicle – said the rowdy mob blocked the female driver of the digital billboard-bearing box truck and began “banging on the windows, shouting things at the driver.” “Once you get out of that truck I’m going to kick your f–king ass!'” one person allegedly yelled at the driver, Guillette exclusively told The Post.
