A recent protest organized by New York University (NYU) students in Manhattan took a disturbing turn as signs with anti-Semitic messages were displayed, marking the latest instance of rising hatred towards Jews and Israel in New York.

The yartzheit of Rochel Emeinu, which begins on Wednesday evening, usually draws huge crowds to Kever Rochel but sadly, this year, the site will be closed to the public due to the security situation. The decision was made on the order of the IDF’s Home Front Command and Israel Police.

In a nationally televised address, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has affirmed that a ground incursion by the IDF is imminent, despite apparent delays in its launch. While he confirmed that Israel is preparing for a ground operation, he refrained from disclosing specific details regarding when or how it will occur.

Israel has acceded to a request made by the United States to temporarily postpone its planned ground incursion into Gaza.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday during a speech at the parliament that Hamas cannot be described as a terror group since its members were merely “defending their land” in their murderous assault against Israel.

Israeli officials released a video montage of captured Hamas terrorists confessing to the awful and barbaric acts they carried out against Jews in their sick attack against Israel on Simchas Torah.

The press conference held on Tuesday by released hostage Yocheved Lifshitz caused outrage among many Israelis, especially considering the fact that she described the terrorists’ behavior as “nice,” a fact that is already being used by the terror organization as propaganda.

It’s no secret that the United Nations is a cesspool of Jew-hating miscreants, but comments made by UN Secretary General Antonio Gutteres still came as a surprise, given their extreme audacity, callousness, and indifference to Hamas atrocities.

Freed hostages Yocheved Lifshitz and Nurit Cooper were flown to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv in a military helicopter following their release on Monday evening from captivity in the Gaza Strip by Hamas terrorists, accompanied by family members.

In an apparent attempt at garnering goodwill on the international stage, the Hamas terror group – the very same one that beheaded babies and burned people alive – released a video showing them helping two women in their 80s they had taken hostage, as they released them back to Israel.
