Caught On Video: Hamas Steals Humanitarian Supplies
Western governments have been demanding that Israel transfer tons of humanitarian aid into Gaza for its “civilian”population. Israel has warned that this aid will be taken by Hamas.

RUMBLE VIDEO
While there have been many eyewitness accounts of Hamas stealing the food and fuel meant to be given out to Gazans, the above video is a direct proof that Hamas pillages and steals the aid for themselves. Sinwar and his dwindling band of Nazi-Jihadist terrorists are taking the bulk of the supplies, not only harming what the world considers “innocent” Gazans, but stocking up to prolong the war and harm the IDF soldiers.

Omer Bartov, Brown University Professor, Blames Israel For Hamas Attacks
A mad world, my masters! Omer Bartov, a professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, has publicly denounced Israel as being responsible for the attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7. It’s a charge that no sensible person could possibly believe, but Omer Bartov has proved equal to the task. Hamas savages on that day, remember, committed every sort of atrocity they could think of. They beheaded babies, burned children alive, raped, tortured, and murdered girls, gouged out the eyes and cut off the genitalia of men and sliced off the breasts of women, murdered children in front of their parents and parents in front of their children, played with decapitated heads. More on Bartov’s grotesque shifting of the blame onto Israel can be found here: “‘Genocidal Intent’: Brown University Holocaust Professor Blames Israel for Hamas Terrorism,” by Alec Schemmel, Washington Free Beacon, December 6, 2023:[…]

Arnold Schwarzenegger: It’s Time to Step Up
https://aish.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-its-time-to-step-up/?src=ac
by Susan Hornik
November 9, 2023

This week, Arnold Schwarzenegger received the inaugural Award of Courage from Los Angeles’ Holocaust Museum, for his ongoing efforts confronting antisemitism.

In accepting the award from Oscar-winning producer Mike Medavoy, Schwarzenegger said, “I’ve received many awards involving muscles, but tonight was about recognizing heart. Education to fight antisemitism has been something I’ve cared about since I was a young man. Love must always prevail over hatred.”

Addressing the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,400 people, Schwarzenegger asserted that people need to step up.

“There's all this chatter out there and all this stuff and all this negativity and hatred that we have to speak up and confront them. The more we speak out about that issue, the better it is. So every day you have to talk about that, you have to talk about it over and over again.”

He continued: “Because we cannot let them get away with those lies and with this hatred. You’ve got to talk to them, and talk them down and let them know that the only way to go is through love… hatred you never ever win; love in the end always wins.”


The son of a Nazi, Schwarzenegger reflected about his Austrian background, and told the audience his desire to fight “for inclusion against hatred and speak out about hatred, and how wrong it is to not look at everyone’s life equally. And to attack each other because of someone’s religion and religious background or their color or their sex, whatever it is.”

He added: “I felt it was very important, especially since I come from a country that is known to be a big part of the Second World War and had the most vicious Nazis during the war and beforehand. I thought it is important to go out and to let people know that the next generation doesn’t have to be the same, that the next generation can change.”

I have to go and speak out about hatred.

The much-loved actor told the audience about the moments when he first dealt with antisemitism with his dad – when he bought a bodybuilding magazine as a teenager and his father disapproved of it when he found out its publisher was Jewish. Then, years later, after Schwarzenegger won Mr. Universe and was invited to the U.S., and given shelter and money, he called his father to tell him it was that very same publisher who had helped him.

“From that moment on, I said to myself, ‘I have to go and fight that, I have to go and speak out about hatred, I have to go and get involved in this issue,'” he said. “And the more I became a celebrity, the more I became a movie star and a bodybuilding star and all that, the more I felt like, ‘Oh, I have another power,' in being a public voice against antisemitism.”

Schwarzenegger visited Auschwitz last year and wants to return with “a whole bunch of Hollywood celebrities so they can see what is going on, what went on there and to put the spotlight on this issue.”

Also in attendance at the gala were 27 Holocaust survivors. One thing was clear; the fear of history repeating itself was clearly in their eyes.


Ildako Good, an 84-year-old child survivor from Hungary who was in a concentration camp for 11 months, has immensely been affected by the atrocities that occurred in Israel, she told Aish.com.

“I promised myself I wouldn’t watch the news and yet I have to. It’s incredibly upsetting, I can’t help but worry about antisemitism and what could happen next. The world has gone mad.”

Both Good and survivor Eva Perlman have spent time as public speakers, educating children and teens about the Holocaust.

“Holocaust education is vital – it’s very important to get the word out,” acknowledged Perlman, who attended the event with her granddaughter.

“I am absolutely horrified by these recent events – it seems as if people have lost all morality. To celebrate killing families – I don’t know where we are going… That there are people who have been conditioned since infancy to hate Jews, we can’t do anything about them, they are so set in their beliefs. This is why I must be as vocal as possible about what happened to me during the Holocaust.”

Beth Kean, CEO of Holocaust Museum LA, said, “Holocaust Museum LA’s mission of education to fight antisemitism and stop hate is more critical than ever. Both Arnold and our survivors have demonstrated throughout their lives the courage, determination, strength and resiliency to remind the world that we must never forget the critical lessons of the past.”

Rabbi: If Israel does not intend to resettle Gaza, there is no justification for soldiers to die

"We do not sacrifice human life on the altar of eliminating the leadership of Hamas, in order to transfer the land of Gaza to the haters of Israel,” Rabbi Cherki said.

Is Hamas the Biblical Amalek That Must Be Wiped Out?

Hamas has taken its war to Jerusalem. A 16 year old terrorist from Eastern Jerusalem stabbed two border police today by the Flowers Gate, just outside of Jerusalem’s Old City.

A 20 year old border police woman is still in critical condition and the border policeman that was with her was wounded lightly.

MDA paramedic Nadav Tayeb said, “When we arrived on scene we found an unconscious approximately 20 year old female, and a 20 year old male who was walking. We immediately began treating them and evacuated them to the nearby Mount Scopus Hospital, with the female in critical condition and the male in mild condition.”

A police spokesperson confirmed the identity of the terrorist as a 16-year-old from Isawiya, as well as his death.


“Meanwhile, police forces arrested an additional suspect near the scene, and his connection to the terrorist and terror attack are currently under investigation,” the spokesperson added. “The area of the terror attack and Sultan Suleiman Street have been closed to traffic until management of the scene is completed.”

With the war against Hamas continuing, Jerusalem will continue to heat up. A few days ago, security services eliminated a wanted terrorist in Abu Dis. From the beginning of the conflict, Israel has put more and more security personnel in the eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem. While there has been an uptick in violence, the extra police and border police that have been deployed has been kept violence to a minimum – until now.

DOCTOR TREATING VICTIMS OF THE HAMAS MASSACRE
SHANNA FULD
Dr. Shlomo Gensler, a 38-year-old father of four, saved countless lives in the thick of massacre on October 7th, 2023.
He recalled the initial moments vividly in an interview with Aish.com. He had been at synagogue with his family when the first sirens went off in Jerusalem. Initially, no one knew what to expect.

Gensler works in the Intensive Care Unit at Hadassah hospital as his day job, but also volunteers with United Hatzolah. He got a call that morning asking him to assist people over the phone who had needed medical guidance. Those who were calling in were trapped in Israeli communities along the border and could not safely get out due to heavy terrorist fighting. At this point, he still didn’t understand exactly what was going on. His first call was a dire one.
"She explained to me that her father had both arms and legs blown off. He had bullet wounds to his torso," Gensler said. They were trapped in Kfar Aza.

“I asked the army to help them and they said no, and that they were overwhelmed,” Dr. Gensler explained. “When I called again, the family was trapped inside the mamad (safe room), and I heard bullets flying.”
Following this, Gensler was asked to venture down to the south. He went to what he called the “staging point” where Hatzolah had set up a make-shift workstation. Dr. Gensler loaded up his intensive care jeep with equipment, took an EMT with him and together, the two made their way.

By the time they arrived at the scene around 12 noon, the area had already become a war-torn landscape and the two witnessed the brutal aftermath of the conflict. Gensler said it looked like scenes he’d envisioned from the Holocaust with cars blown up, flipped over, and houses and fields set on fire.

"We saw hundreds of bodies on the side of the road, people executed outside of their cars and cars crashed off to the side.”

In the town of Netivot, Dr. Gensler set up a triage amidst the chaos, tending to the wounded one after another with the help of fellow medical professionals. Working from the edge of Netivot, the small medical crew started treating patients on the backs of people's cars. People were arriving to the triage point in pick-up trucks and civilian cars. The only people entering the kibbutzim were Hatzolah ambulances and the army.

"We worked together as a team, driven by the knowledge that every second counted," he emphasized. “There was one paramedic who had been there since the morning and he explained the horrific stuff he had seen. And then we started experiencing it.”

At one point, Dr. Gensler remembers working next to five to ten dead bodies. At one point, ZAKA (Israel Search and Rescue) came to take them away and clear the space for the men to work.

The afternoon was relentless, as waves of injured people arrived. Three blocks over from the triage point, a missile fell down next to an apartment building and a mass explosion was heard. Police officers were warning the medics that terrorists had been stealing police cars and killing officers.

“They told us that if you saw a police car coming, it didn't necessarily mean it was safe.”



Dr. Gensler and his team pressed on, creating a lifeline for soldiers and civilians alike, each bearing severe wounds. They worked in tandem with the 669 Combat Rescue Unit, evacuating those in critical condition via helicopter.

In the midst of this chaos, Gensler's expertise proved critical. He addressed life-threatening injuries, from upper airway burns to open chest wounds, providing critical interventions to stabilize patients before moving them to the next stage of treatment.

As dawn approached, the decision was made to venture further into the conflict.

Dr. Gensler reports having seen people who were burned alive, executed and whose bodies were contorted.

“You could see they suffered as they died,” he recounted. “We saw the inhumanity of individuals. Helping the injured was surreal and it took time to set in. We had the opportunity to treat hundreds of people, whether with pain control, bandaging or life-saving measures.”

Gensler and his fellow doctors and medics worked until 6 am.

He reflects on meeting a grandmother who told him that her grandkids were trapped in the mamad (safe room) of one of the homes in Kfar Aza. She knew exactly where they were and wanted to get them out. Dr. Gensler notified the army who then went in and retrieved the kids.

“They told us they saw their parents executed in front of them. Then they told me they were hungry and had not eaten in the last 12 hours,” Dr. Gensler said. “I walked away to cry.”

Dr. Gensler took a moment by himself. He spoke of witnessing their pain, suffering and finally their human need to have food. These new orphans were between eight and ten years old.

Moments later, he returned to his work.

“I’ve been able to reflect on that and talk it over and process it. That moment wasn't the time to do that. It was a time of action.”



When asked about the volume of patients he treated that day, Dr. Gensler says he treated so many people that he cannot even remember each patient.

“There was a lot of stuff I did really fast without much time to waste. I’ve been treating soldiers after the attack and have become close to them.”

Dr. Gensler was able to arrange a hospital exit for a sergeant who wanted to attend the funerals of two of his friends/comrades who were killed on that heinous day. “I discussed it with a colleague and said he was stable enough. We quickly arranged an ambulance. It was very therapeutic for him. He was able to feel he had enough control to go to his best friends’ funerals. They were fighting together valiantly.”

Because the soldier needed a doctor to supervise him at the funeral, Dr. Gensler accompanied him. “I got to be with him at the funeral of his two closest friends,” he said.

“People are there for each other in a strong way,” Dr. Gensler said. “You see the amount of giving and caring even in a nation that is suffering.”

The 38-year-old grew up between the U.S. and Canada, went to medical school alongside his wife at the Technion medical school (whom he believes is a better, smarter doctor) and decided to stay in Jerusalem and raise a family.

Dr. Gensler reflects on being called into action that fateful day.

“I have a skill set that enables me to be there at a time of need. It's a humbling feeling. I feel honestly privileged to be able to help people and I hope I can do what's right,” he said. “I definitely feel that the cascading of events was something I was able to put years and years of training into moments of real need.”
