Christian Son of Hamas to CNN: “Dying—a Way of Worship”

August 5, 2014 Son of Hamas author Mosab Hassan Yousef recently underscored the moral disconnect the world is expressing in its defense of Hamas while the terror group's fundamental commitment is to death and dying. "They consider dying for the sake of their ideology a way of worship, and how can you continue in that society?" Yousef told CNN's Don Lemon in a July 24 interview. "They were preparing us from the age as young as 5 years old. … Today when I look at the children of Gaza, and I know what they're fed, I know that they have no choice."

Hamas Terror Tunnels Could Mean Tragedy for Israel

July 27, 2014 During Israel's Operation Protective Edge to counter Hamas missile and mortar attacks on Israeli towns and civilians, the Israel Defense Forces uncovered a Hamas scheme to invade Israel this coming Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) via its complex, concrete-reinforced tunnel infrastructure. "There are two Gazas, one above ground and one below ground: an underground terrorist city," said an Israeli spokesman. The September 24–25, 2014 Hamas plot included 200 terrorists emerging inside Israel during the High Holidays through tunnel exits that are next to or within Israeli civilian communities.

Israel Sets Up Military Field Hospital to Treat Gaza Wounded

July 25, 2014 The Jewish state has done something quite unique in the world of warfare—they established a field hospital along the border of Gaza to treat Palestinian wounded, including combatants. As we have reported often, Israel routinely provides medical assistance to Palestinians, even in times of war. The field hospital is significant, however, in that it is located right next to where the first Israeli was murdered during the current operation, at the Erez crossing.

July 21, 2014 In Warsaw last Sunday, US Ambassador to Poland Stephen Mull honored 50 Righteous Among the Nations who had saved Jews during the Holocaust, calling them “a light in the darkness.” “You knew that the Hitlerites killed people—sometimes entire families—for aiding Jews during the German occupation of Poland, but at the same time you decided to help your Jewish brothers and sisters,” Mull said to the group, noting that they were "evidence of the human capacity for selfless love, compassion, and courage."

ISIS Funds Operations by Looting Biblical Antiquities and Christians

July 21, 2014 As ISIS sweeps across ancient Assyria and Babylon, (now Iraq), destroying Christian churches, monasteries and Shia shrines, it is now in control of the Mosul Museum, which is full of historic treasures, and Mosul (ancient Nineveh) itself, a region which was the location of many events recorded in the Bible, including Jonah. As well, Christians have been fleeing the area in a mass exodus as ISIS issued an ultimatum: convert to Islam, pay a tax, or be killed. Some of the communities fleeing have been in northern Iraq for almost 2,000 years. As they flee Mosul, seeking refuge in Iraqi Kurdistan, they are being stripped of all their possessions.

Three Israelis Confess to Murder of Abu Khdair

July 15, 2014 Israel has charged three Jewish men with the kidnapping and killing of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir, a Palestinian teenager whose death set off days of violent protests in Arab areas of Jerusalem and northern Israel. Israel responded to the slaying of Khdeir with repulsion and righteous anger, reaching out to the Khdeir family with sympathy. President Shimon Peres expressed his condolences to the father of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, Hussein Abu Khdeir. "I know what you and your family are going through. I am full of shame and share in your grief. He was murdered by criminals. I am ashamed on behalf of my nation and grieve with you. The only thing left for all of us to do is to ensure that no more children are murdered, and no more tears are shed by mothers," Peres told him.
