The father of a 26‑year‑old truck driver named Ahmed Saleem, who was killed in the Gaza Strip, recorded a video in Hebrew during a demonstration with the local truck drivers’ association and private‑sector merchants. Speaking directly to Israelis and their government in Hebrew, he says his son was shot in the head by an IDF soldier while transporting cargo from the Kerem Shalom Crossing into Gaza. The dad described how his son’s truck broke down shortly after leaving the crossing. When Ahmed Saleem stepped out to inspect the problem and prevent a bottleneck for the 20‑truck convoy behind him, an Israeli soldier approached and asked why he had stopped. After the young driver explained he was fixing the truck, the soldier allegedly shot and killed him on the spot. The father further stresses that his son had been an Israeli‑vetted, approved, and certified driver at the Kerem Shalom crossing for seven years. Whether this killing was deliberate, accidental, or something else, it reflects a broader pattern of horrors that Gazans continue to face at the hands of some Israeli soldiers. It demands a serious investigation: how could an Israeli‑approved driver be killed for a mechanical failure, especially when these trucks are old, unreliable, and prone to breakdowns? And what does it say about IDF operating procedures if they cannot accommodate such a basic, predictable scenario? Source: Al Arabiya (Dubai, UAE)

Why is the Islamic Republic of Iran striking Burj al-Arab, hotels, an airport, seaports & civilian targets in Dubai, the UAE? The country has not participated in the war against Iran & didn't allow its airspace or soil to be used either. Cowardly, criminal, senseless aggression🇦🇪

Hamas’s newest ploy: a bogus “dissolution” of its Gaza administration while keeping real power and deepening its terror infrastructure; betting that اللجنة الوطنية لإدارة غزة - NCAG will rescue the group and let it repackage its cadres, operatives, and control networks inside a new Gaza government.

Hamas is looking for the bodies of Israeli hostages in Gaza by digging for tunnels that it placed under an entire residential city where there were thousands of apartments. This is under the Qatari-built Hamad City in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. Hamas gave itself the right to use every inch of the Strip as a theater for its horrendous terrorism, placing its operatives and infrastructure under homes, hospitals, schools, and every imaginable space. This isn't just Israeli propaganda - this is the absolute, shitty, unpleasant, and brutal truth that all Gazans know and understand, but is somehow refuted by "activists" and "journalists" who run cover for Hamas. What you're looking at is the inevitable future of Gaza if Qatar is allowed to dominate the reconstruction process once again: tunnels will go through and under Qatari-sponsored infrastructure that becomes a breeding ground for Hamas's terrorism.

WATCH--Gaza’s October 7 millionaires: a horrendous and nasty class of aid and money thieves, many of whom are associated with Hamas and terror, has emerged in Gaza throughout the two years of war. These individuals, who before the war barely had a dollar in their pockets, are now playing with Euros and Dollars, just as children play with Monopoly money. They have set up massive networks that received donations primarily from Europe, as well as from Arab or Muslim countries, including Turkey, Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, all with the promise that funds would be used to provide meals, shelter, or other aid to desperate civilians in the coastal enclave. Usually, they take some money, have a Gaza man, woman, or child pose with it, then take most of the money back, leaving just a tiny fraction and pocketing the rest. The guys will then go on social media to brag about how honest and pious they are and ask for more donations, all of course while paying Hamas significant sums to ensure that the terror group either provides protection or allows them to operate freely. This particular video is just one single example of one of these “October 7” millionaires who are literally showcasing millions of dollars on social media and saying how they are continuing to do good and ask for even more money, while the majority of the people of Gaza receive absolutely nothing from these funds. This is the tragedy of Gaza, before and after October 7; billions of dollars/euros have been raised to be sent to the Strip by Hamas and the international community, with little to nothing to show for it. Worse, the United States' negotiated ceasefire has allowed Hamas to replenish its coffers by hundreds of millions of dollars, providing the terror group and its infrastructure with cash to rebuild and re-entrench its control in preparation for the inevitable future round of war with Israel.

“The very notorious Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib,” declared Mr. Hamas in Ireland: Remember the hideous football “reporter” who was whisked out of Gaza by Drop Site News and into Europe, only to immediately complain that Greece was “facilitating his suffering” because they didn’t roll out a red carpet for him; he then moved on to Ireland, where he began amplifying Hamas’s terrorism and hateful rhetoric and sloganeering, pushing the “resistance” narrative, and even harassing Irish Jews. This is the same man insisting that Hamas’s police in Gaza are gentle, apolitical volunteers with no connection to Hamas’s governance or militancy, claiming that the terror group isn’t rebuilding its networks across the Strip. When interviewed, he delivered a truckload of propaganda, misinformation, and outright lies about Hamas’s police and their role in the group’s apparatus. Recent, detailed reporting, combined with Hamas’s industrial‑scale intimidation and terror campaign against the June 26 protesters last week, exposes just how false his claims have been. What’s astonishing is how Europe has imported large numbers of pro‑Hamas, antisemitic, anti‑Western extremists and even operatives from Gaza, both before and after October 7, while simultaneously rejecting entry to legitimate, courageous, highly-threatened anti‑Hamas Gazans who simply want a life free from jihadist terror, “resistance” propaganda, and endless violence in service of a failed national project that has been hijacked and destroyed. Yet somehow, I’m the “notorious” one for pointing this out. Ireland, Belgium, and parts of Germany have been overtaken by the pro‑Hamas Jihadist wing of Europe’s “pro‑Palestine movement,” and this is actually a disaster for Palestinians.

The daily barbarism of Hamas continues in Gaza, with executions, torture, and disappearances. A black Gazan is tortured, legs broken & forced to praise Hamas, all because he thanked President Trump & Netanyahu for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation food aid during the height of the hunger crisis. The "intersectionality" left won't acknowledge Munir or other black, Christian, or Bedouin Palestinians who have endured systematic oppression at the hands of the Islamist terror group. Palestinian black lives matter! Rapid Response 47

Hamas is deploying militia & governmental forces throughout the Gaza Strip, shooting, executing, and torturing opponents, clans & perceived threats to ensure the terror organization fully restores dominion over the population. This is the failure of Netanyahu's war strategy!

Mass torture & executions by Hamas's police and counterintelligence forces in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, among tents & humanitarian zones for the displaced, forcing nearby civilians to cheer & clap under threats. Jihadi fascist thugs are not "resistance" or "freedom fighters."😡

The pro-Hamas militias in New York City (they’re wearing Hamas headbands) have entered a new phase of their derangement in the name of being “pro-Palestine” while protesting. Apparently, it is now acceptable to call random Jewish people “pedophiles” and label them as the “Epstein class” just because they happen to be eating at a Jewish restaurant. Imagine doing this to Palestinian, Arab, or Muslim-owned restaurants. Despite the existence of vast types of pedophilia in the Arab and Muslim worlds, where child marriages are legally protected in many parliaments, and despite the vast Muslim-majority child grooming and rape networks that have been exposed in the United Kingdom, we didn’t see “pro-Israel” protesters engaging in this kind of behavior. We didn’t see the attack, harassment, and sieging of Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians in Europe or the United States while they were dining at restaurants. This behavior is primarily flowing in one direction – and that is shameful, disgusting, and should be embarrassing. Freedom of expression should not be a free license to engage in antisemitism, hate, violence, and thuggery, especially by the same people who are the first to cry about racism and “Islamophobia.” Shame on this disgusting movement of hate, for it is neither pro-Palestine nor does it embody the values of Arab hospitality or Islamic compassion and kindness. Ban the pro-Hamas, pro-terror movement in the Western world now!

Al-Haddad's Pathetic Funeral: Unlike its usual quiet burials for slain commanders in Gaza, Hamas rushed to acknowledge the killing of its top military leader, Izz al‑Din al‑Haddad, and paraded his body through areas packed with displaced civilians. The group was desperate to manufacture a show of mass support. Instead, barely 700–800 people joined the procession, mostly children, teenagers, and a few elderly participants and onlookers. No crowds, no banners, no vehicles, no “resistance” theatrics. It was a humiliating display that underscores a reality long visible to anyone actually connected to Gaza: Hamas is overwhelmingly loathed, feared, and rejected by most of the Strip’s population. In fact, more online “activists,” “commentators,” and self‑styled “pro‑Palestine” personalities mourned al‑Haddad’s death than Palestinians inside Gaza. Dozens of contacts, friends, and social media posts from inside the Strip showed the opposite reaction: relief, celebration, even open joy at his elimination. This is yet another data point in a long pattern: Gazans are done with Hamas, and Hamas knows it.

It's official - Hamas wants war and pre-emptively rebukes Egypt and Arab proposals for Gaza. This video right here of Hamas's leader Osama Hamdan in Doha, Qatar, where the Aljazeera Forum is taking place, tells you everything you need to know about the terror group and why the resumption of total war in Gaza is merely a matter of time. He says that: 1- Hamas won, and the idea of the resistance was victorious. 2- Iran helped the resistance and will have a role in the future, whereas those who didn't help the resistance can't now expect to play a role (he's talking about the Arab countries). 3- Hamas, which brought unprecedented achievements, cannot be told that it won't be part of the Palestinian national project. 4- Anyone who wants to act in Israel's stead and in its place will be treated as such and will have to deal with the consequences of that (he's talking about any security arrangement that entails PA forces, Arab or international troops). 5- Hamas won't discuss disarming, the departure of its leaders [from Gaza], or disappearing from the scene and won't leave or pay any prices for reconstruction. 6- Hamas and team resistance have Iran, Turkey, and Africa (mainly referring to South Africa) as allies to provide support. 7- Hamas will rebuild its capabilities in Gaza and will expand them further, with its most crucial strength being that it can slap (attack) Israel anytime it wants. This is a significant development and has immense implications for Gaza's people, the region, Trump's plan, and what's going to unfold in the near future.

"Please die, just die, that's what it's going to take to expose Israel!" says one of the Jubilee participants who made it clear that dead Palestinians in Gaza are excellent visuals on social media and mere fodder for their "pro-Palestine" activism. This is sick, twisted & evil. I hope everyone can see this fraud and scam for what it truly is: an exercise in human sacrifice, just like Hamas is doing. I made it clear that my family, and thousands of dead Palestinians, didn't want to be martyrs for useless Western activists who are engaged in bloodletting that's supposed to "free Palestine" and end the suffering in Gaza. These morally and politically lost "activists" are literal foot soldiers for Hamas and Islamist terrorists in the Western world - it's time to expose and delegitimize them for the death cultists that they support. Listen for yourself!

This is a truly disgusting and shameful scene, in which hundreds of men (many supporters of Ben Gvir) were physically attacking a single woman and a New York police officer protecting her, violently throwing objects at her and chanting “death to Arabs.” Of course, what the “pro-Palestine” protesters did in Crown Heights was incredibly unhelpful and immensely foolish, but that doesn’t mean retaliating against a defenseless woman who was clearly not posing a threat. If you look at these scenes and think this is somehow a great display of “fighting back against antisemites,” you’re not only misguided, but quite honestly, you’re a coward. It’s never ok to attack women like this – shame on all who participated in this despicable act of violent hate!

Hasan Piker continues to act in the most despicable manner possible, sending thousands of his online Jihadi-style followers to attack me, my colleagues, and friends in pursuit of clicks and relevance. This Turkish-American “influencer” represents the worst of the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex and narrative. Listen to what he’s saying and alleging about me: he literally sounds like he has nothing to say, and is making things up as he goes, saying that I don’t call myself Palestinian, but only a Gazan, grasping at straws. He’s pretending that the Israeli Foreign Ministry and senior Israeli officials are regularly monitoring Twitter and just patiently waiting for me to say something so that they could retweet and “tokenize” me. He and his close friend, the rotten Empanada, have been engaged in a ferocious campaign to malign me because this is how they raise money and do their “advocacy,” which is fully and completely supportive of Hamas and supports violence and terrorism in the name of “resistance.” One of the best things that the likes of Hasan Piker can do is to stay out of the Palestinian cause and let authentic Palestinian voices speak, even when that challenges notions that millionaires like himself have about such a topic. The “allies” of the Palestinian people have and continue to be some of the worst, most diabolical enemies of the just and urgent aspirations for Palestinian freedom, dignity, and self-determination.

Almost all UN aid that goes into Gaza is being systematically stolen, intercepted, looted, and resold by gangs and criminals, some of whom are working for Hamas. They go online and brag about their deeds. They are starving Gaza. A new distribution system is needed.

The Islamic Republic of Iran gets to keep the ballistic missiles that targeted the US & its regional allies? The US was going to run out of ammunition in weeks? This was the only way to open the Strait of Hormuz? Trump's G7 remarks admit defeat & how disastrous the MOU/deal is.
