http://youtu.be/B4Ml3GLI1Gs An Israeli mother who managed to escape Hamas with her baby daughter broke down in tears on live TV when she learned that her husband had been killed. Shaylee Atary began the interview by expressing hope for her missing husband Yahav Winner’s safety after terrorists broke into the family’s home in Kfar Aza on Saturday morning. “I feel like every minute counts right now,” Atari told Sky News while holding their 1-month-old daughter.“He’s either injured somewhere or either kidnapped, so every minute is important.” But during the live interview, Atary is seen looking over with alarm at a family member who received a phone call. “Ma?” she calls out – Hebrew for “What?” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/10/11/israeli-mom-breaks-down-when-told-missing-husband...

http://youtu.be/Jro95rEfqew Anadolu Video (AAVN) captured on Tuesday (Oct. 10) the dramatic devastation in the ar-Rimal neighborhood in the Gaza Strip after Israeli airstrikes. A total of 765 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli army bombing as of the third day of fighting between Israel and Palestinian groups in Gaza, according to a statement. The Health Ministry in Gaza said in an update that over 4,000 Palestinians have also been wounded by the Israeli bombing. In a previous statement, the Health Ministry noted that at least 143 children and 105 women had been killed in the attacks on Gaza. Over the past the three days, the Gaza Strip came under heavy and intensified Israeli bombing from the air and ground, leaving hundreds dead in addition to large-scale destruction across res...

http://youtu.be/z-9LrQW5qtg Meta is paying millions of dollars to high-powered celebrities — including retired NFL great Tom Brady, rapper Snoop Dogg, former reality TV star Paris Hilton and TikTok influencer Charli D’Amelio — to use their likeness for fictional AI chatbots, according to a report. One top creator is being paid around $5 million by Facebook’s parent company over two years in exchange for six hours of work in a studio, according to the tech news site The Information. Meta — which also owns WhatsApp and Instagram — was so intent on getting big names to sign on that it paid in excess of $1 million for each of the celebrities to grant permission to use their likeness, The Information reported. The report cited a person familiar with the matter as saying that other deals wit...

http://youtu.be/MleJJ9NiObQ Heartbreaking accounts are emerging of the scores of children who were taken captive by Hamas when the terrorist group unleashed its unprecedented assault over the weekend — and the innocent kids thought to be in the attackers’ hands are as young as 9 months old. Loved ones in Israel and abroad are now scrambling for answers, and – in the wake of Hamas’ pledge to execute one hostage for every Israeli airstrike that hits a Gazan home – are begging the abductors to spare the youngest lives. The terror group, meanwhile, claims to have stockpiled “dozens” of captives in “safe places and tunnels and resistance” over the border in Gaza, Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeid said in a Telegram post. Below, are the stories of some of the youngest hostages who are believed to...

http://youtu.be/EJ2MqJcRZ9A A Bronx House Democrat ripped a socialist group as “despicable,” after it gave a half-hearted apology for promoting a virulent pro-Palestinian rally in Manhattan last weekend. Rep. Ritchie Torres noted that the Democratic Socialists of America’s New York City chapter’s delayed mea culpa Tuesday for the rally couldn’t “even be bothered to mention, much less condemn, Hamas and its mass murder of Jews,” in a Wednesday X post. “It refers vaguely to ‘loved ones in harm’s way.’ It projects moral outrage only when blaming Israel as the ‘root cause’ of the violence,” Torres said of the statement. “The DSA, despite the name, is not democratic. It’s despicable, detestable, disgraceful, and disgraced. The same can be said of anyone who enables them.” The widely critic...

http://youtu.be/ESUfX2htm1w Rep. Ilhan Omar elicited outrage with a public entreaty for the US to shift from giving Israel “unconditional weapons sales and military aid” to diplomacy. NY Post reporter Ryan King shares this story. Omar (D-Minn.), a member of the so-called “Squad,” also harped on the plight of the Palestinians and suggested that Israel’s retaliation against terrorist group Hamas might be a “war crime.” “The Israeli Defense Minister has called Palestinians ‘human animals’ and promised to cut off all electricity, all food, and all fuel to civilians in Gaza,” Omar wrote in a lengthy thread on X, formerly Twitter. “This is collective punishment, a war crime, and the U.S. should oppose any violations of international law if we truly support a rules-based international order,...

http://youtu.be/mqhDYdY3fOA An Israeli reality TV star broke down in tears as she described receiving a harrowing message about a terrorist who killed a young man and his girlfriend — and sent video of the barbaric act to the mom from her son’s phone. Mor Radmi, star of the show “Wedding at First Sight,” said the horrific incident happened after 260 people were slaughtered at a music festival in the Negev Desert when Hamas launched its attack on Israel early Saturday, Israel Hayom reported. The woman had been collecting donations and assisting people to find their missing relatives, many of whom were killed and others abducted by the bloodthirsty terrorists Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/10/11/hamas-terrorist-sent-mom-video-of-son-girlfriends-murder-after-music-fest-massacre-tv-...

http://youtu.be/nG2uUy3nFjk Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives nominated Steve Scalise to be the chamber's next speaker on Wednesday (October 11), a challenging role after hard-right members of his party cut short the tenure of the last three holders of the position. But the New Orleans-born lawmaker has faced adversity before -- including a 2017 shooting when he was badly wounded by a gunman angry about then-President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers. Scalise, 58, prevailed on Wednesday in a closed-door party vote. Getting the role, which is second in line to the presidency after the vice president, will require winning the support of a majority of the House, which Republicans control by a 221-212 majority. Hardline Republicans made predecessor Kevin McCarthy the fi...

http://youtu.be/827vkc3ue6M A flurry of Harvard University students and groups are desperately trying to backtrack on their support of a letter blaming Israel for the mass slaughter of its own people by Hamas terrorists — as some business titans seek to blacklist them from future jobs. Four of the initial 34 student organizations attached to the inflammatory statement have already withdrawn their support — while board members of other groups have quit to distance themselves. Late Tuesday, 17 other Harvard groups joined around 500 faculty and staff and 3,000 others in signing a counter-statement attacking the other groups’ letter as “completely wrong and deeply offensive,” according to the campus paper, the Harvard Crimson.

http://youtu.be/7fmahzTQppw Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, organized by the Democratic Socialists of America, rallied on October 8 in the Big Apple — stomping on and burning the Israeli flag — as Islamic terrorists in the Gaza Strip continued their assault on the Jewish state. NY Post reporter Jon Levine has more on this story. Scores of counter-protesters turned out in support of Israel at the Manhattan rally, too, with verbal clashes between the opposing sides escalating throughout the day and at least one skirmish breaking out near the United Nations compound in Midtown. One attendee in the pro-Palestinian camp was pictured holding up an image of a swastika on their phone — a day after 700 Jews were slaughtered by Hamas.

http://youtu.be/bdCKWHPLxh4 A frustrated Arizona father stripped down to a belly-baring crop top and unnervingly taut jean shorts during a packed school board meeting to protest its lax dress code policy. Ira Latham removed his shirt at a podium, revealing a black garment that strained beneath his substantial midsection as startled parents in attendance looked on during the late-September gathering in Gilbert. He completed the jarring ensemble with a pair of snug jean shorts, according to NBC 12. “Under the proposed policy this would be appropriate in a classroom,” he told the audience at the Higley Unified School District meeting. Latham said he picked up the items at a local thrift store ahead of his bold fashion statement. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/10/11/dad-strips-down...

http://youtu.be/6Rv5VOvG7uI Playboy has cut ties with porn star Mia Khalifa over her “disgusting and reprehensible” support of Hamas — in which she even urged terrorists to film their atrocities. NY Post reporter Melissa Koenig shares this story. The adult magazine announced its decision to part ways with Khalifa — who joined its Centerfold platform in February 2022 — in an email to subscribers late Monday. “We are writing today to let you know of our decision to terminate Playboy’s relationship with Mia Khalifa, including deleting Mia’s Playboy channel on our creator platform,” the “Playboy Team” wrote. “Mia has made disgusting and reprehensible comments celebrating Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the murder of innocent men, women and children,” the email continued. “At Playboy, we enc...

http://youtu.be/s5uLwJeuZks The mother of a 21-year-old Israeli woman who has been missing since terrorists bombarded an outdoor rave near Gaza issued a desperate plea to Hamas, telling her daughter’s captors that they can still “change their ways” and return her safely. Ahuva Maizel said she could hear gunshots ringing out when she last spoke to her daughter Adi Maizel over the phone at about 7:40 a.m. Saturday. “I’m talking to everyone who will listen to me because maybe my daughter will hear me or see me,” the devastated mother said during a Zoom press conference Monday, according to Times of Israel. “Or maybe the one who is holding her [captive] will hear me and I’m telling you, I’m asking you as a human being to a human being: We have the same DNA, we are not animals, you can chan...

http://youtu.be/w160D79pKUk An Irish father living in Israel said he was relieved when he heard the news of his 8-year-old daughter’s death at the hands of Hamas, insisting it was a “blessing” compared to the alternative of her being held captive and savagely tortured by the terrorists. Thomas Hand recounted the moment that he learned the news of his daughter Emily’s death in an interview on CNN on Wednesday. “They just said, we found Emily, she’s dead, and I went ‘yes,'” he said.

http://youtu.be/viAb_YVPC6g The White House has condemned comments by some congressional “Squad” members about the devastating terrorist attacks on Israel as “wrong,” “repugnant” and “disgraceful.” Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Tuesday for President Biden’s response to the progressive lawmakers who focused on calling for an immediate cease-fire and for the US to stop funding Israel. “I’ve seen some of those statements this weekend, and we’re going to continue to be very clear. We believe they’re wrong, we believe they’re repugnant, and we believe they’re disgraceful,” Jean-Pierre said, without naming names. “Our condemnation belongs squarely with terrorists who have brutally murdered, raped, kidnapped hundreds, hundreds of Israelis. There can be no equivocation about tha...

http://youtu.be/kO1_k9YLIP4 A knife-wielding woman allegedly stabbed three people — including a police lieutenant — inside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Wednesday, according to officials. Frightening footage showed the woman, identified by WSBTV as Damaris Milton, 44, waving the blade at approaching officers as travelers stood within feet of her, only separated by glass. Police were alerted around 4:45 p.m. to the armed woman who stood outside the security checkpoint near the airport’s south terminal, which features domestic flights.

http://youtu.be/Jx908vrA8GY Former U.S. president Donald Trump blasted President Joe Biden during a campaign event on Wednesday (October 11) saying "America's enemies" were taking advantage of Biden's administration. Trump's comments came as he was weighing in on the deadly attacks on Israel by Palestinian Hamas militants over the weekend that killed thousands. The former president said the attacks were linked to Biden loosening Trump's sanctions on Iran which allowed the country "to sell massive amounts of oil." Iran backs groups in the Middle East region including Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Trump praised his administration's fight against Islamic State militants and vowed to "prevent World War Three" if re-elected. He also said the U.S. will support "Israel defeating, dismantling, and ...

http://youtu.be/eUpRFGVvRoc Three pro-Palestine terrorist groups — including Hamas, the organization behind the surprise attacks that killed more than 250 Israelis on Saturday — have been funding their operations with tens of millions of dollars raised through cryptocurrency. NY Post Business reporter Shannon Thaler shares this story. Between August 2021 and June 2023, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jahid (PIJ), and its Lebanese ally, Hezbollah, have collectively received over $134 million in crypto, according to Israeli government seizure orders and blockchain analytics reports reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Hamas received some $41 million in digital currency over the nearly two-year period, The Journal reported. PIJ — whose militants from the Gaza Strip joined Hamas in storming Isr...

http://youtu.be/4WKxoSjjynM The winner of the latest $1.7 billion Powerball boasts the second-biggest jackpot in history — but could take home just 44% of the advertised total. When it comes to cashing in the golden ticket, lotto winners can choose to receive their money in one of two ways; an immediate lump sum deposit or through 30 annual payments invested in government bonds. The advertised jackpot is actually a projection of the total received over the 30-year investment, whereas the lump sum is how much money the Powerball actually has on hand to give out.

http://youtu.be/VHM6WC7qxm4 A New Jersey native was among the more than 1,200 people massacred in Hamas’ attack over the weekend on Israel, according to Gov. Phil Murphy. Itay Glisko, 20, “tragically lost his life during the [Saturday] attacks,” the Democrat posted on X Wednesday, confirming a Daily Beast report. Glisko, who the governor noted “spent his early years in Paramus,” was a dual citizen who was serving a mandatory three-year stint in the Israel Defense Forces, according to the outlet. His family reportedly received official word on Tuesday. The circumstances of Glisko’s death were unclear. “He was truly an amazing kid,” said relative Zehava Glisko Kaufman, who was holding vigil at the Jewish Community Center in Tenafly when she learned the news. “A soldier that was with hi...

http://youtu.be/RZikApSR0Z4 President Biden said Wednesday he has seen “confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children” in southern Israel following reports that up to 40 babies were butchered over the weekend near the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip — but the White House later walked back the commander-in-chief’s claim. “I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children. I never thought I’d ever — anyway,” Biden, 80, told leaders of Jewish groups at the White House on Wednesday. But neither the president nor US officials have seen images or heard independently confirmed reports of beheaded children, a White House spokesperson later clarified, according to the Washington Post. The White House says Biden based his remark on claims made by ...

http://youtu.be/4j4KGOnRuek Israel's exchange of rocket fire with Hamas continued on Wednesday (October 11) at night, as tanks massed around the densely populated Palestinian enclave and Hamas militants said they were still fighting on Israeli territory following their shock weekend incursion. Video filmed at night showed Israel’s Iron Dome missile defence system intercept rockets fired from Gaza on Wednesday evening. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to form a war cabinet with former defense minister and centrist opposition party leader Benny Gantz and focus entirely on the conflict, a joint statement from Gantz's National Unity party said. Israel's death toll rose to 1,200 with over 2,700 wounded, its military said, from Hamas militants' hours-long rampage after breaching the ...

http://youtu.be/97phkGWGYqA Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Friday that he has no plans to resign his seat and will run for a 10th term next year. McCarthy (R-Calif.), who lost his speakership Tuesday after an unprecedented vote to depose him, was rumored to be considering an early exit from Congress, according to Politico. The 58-year-old denied that report, telling KGET 17 News in his hometown of Bakersfield that he will finish out his current term representing California’s 20th Congressional District and seek re-election in 2024. McCarthy was first elected to Congress in 2006 and worked his way up the House Republican hierarchy until grabbing the gavel in January. When asked about his future after Tuesday’s vote, McCarthy did not rule out resigning, telling reporters: “...

http://youtu.be/An5NINH2pVE An explosion rocked the Gaza strip on Saturday (October 7), sending smoke and dust across the city, after the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched a surprise assault that combined gunmen crossing into Israel with a barrage of rockets fired from Gaza. The Israeli military said it had responded with air strikes into Gaza, after Hamas launched a raid into Israel on Saturday. Reuters video captured the moment a building was struck in Gaza city, spewing plumes of thick black smoke into the air. The building which collapsed after air strike, called "Palestine Tower", is the headquarters of several offices of media institutions in the city. Israel said the Iran-backed group had declared war as its army confirmed fighting with militants in several Israeli town...

http://youtu.be/YmqiZK6Rarw Hamas militants fired thousands of rockets and sent dozens of fighters into Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip in an unprecedented surprise early morning attack during a major Jewish holiday Saturday, killing dozens and stunning the country. Israel said it is now at war with Hamas and launched airstrikes in Gaza, vowing to inflict an “unprecedented price.” Hours after the incursion began, Israeli troops were still fighting Hamas gunmen in 22 locations near the Gaza Strip, including towns and other communities, army spokesman Daniel Hagari said — a startling sign of the breadth of the assault. Israel’s national rescue service said at least 100 people were killed and hundreds wounded, making it the deadliest attack in Israel in years. An unknown number of Isra...
