By All Israel News Staff Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel will carry out a major operation in Rafah - Gaza’s southernmost city - with or without a hostage release deal. The premier made his remarks during a meeting with a forum of bereaved families of fallen IDF soldiers and relatives of hostages. These families object to the notion of a deal with the Hamas terrorist organization that would effectively mean a de facto end to the war. “There will be no compromise on our war objectives – we will not give up Rafah,” Netanyahu told the families of the ‘Heroism’ and the ‘Hope’ advocacy forums. Some families from the right-wing forums have previously threatened to go on a hunger strike until the Israeli military enters Rafah. "I repeat my commitment, the war will only end after the complete defeat of Hamas and the return of the hostages by any means possible,” Netanyahu said. "The idea that we will halt ...

By Streiff The Federal Aviation Administration is the subject of a massive class action lawsuit alleging that since 2013, thousands of qualified applicants have been denied employment as air traffic controllers based on race. The lawsuit filed by the  Mountain States Legal Foundation  represents nearly 1,000 people who went to school at their own expense to be air traffic controllers through a network of university-sponsored Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) programs. These programs, run in cooperation with the FAA since 1991 to train and test future air traffic controllers, were the entry point for the overwhelming majority of the ATC workforce. In 2013, the Obama Administration ended the program to increase diversity in ATC hiring. The screening test stopped being ATC-specific coursework and became a "biographical questionnaire." Allegedly, this questionnaire was based on the personality traits of successful ATCs. But its real purpose was to increase the number of ...

By Tyler Durden It's not just US and Western defense contractors and arms makers that have been raking in the billions as a result of Washington's mammoth defense aid handed over to Ukraine, but Ukrainian defense companies are also enjoying the largesse at US taxpayers' expense. "A total o f $1.6 billion  of the recent US aid to Ukraine would go to the  purchase of Ukraine-made weapons , said a senior Kyiv official,"  Defense Post  reports of the $61 billion in US aid just approved. G7 countries have been planning broader assistance to Ukraine which would develop and prop up a Ukrainian domestic military-industrial complex for the long-term, in order to ensure the country's independence from Russia well into the future. Ukraine parliamentarian and foreign policy committee member Arseniy Pushkarenko has  said , "This is very important today, because it is about the creation of joint defense enterprises that will be located on the territory of Ukraine o...

By Joe Cunningham The pro-Hamas fanatics rampaging at Columbia University and elsewhere may be succeeding in taking over buildings on their campuses , but one rebellion in the nation's capital seems to have quietly died. Speaker Mike Johnson's job appears to be safe for the moment after the threat of a motion to vacate from Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Prior to Easter, she filed the MTV, but refused to activate it and bring it to the floor, instead holding it over the Speaker's head if she did not get what she was looking for - namely, cutting off aid to Ukraine. And while Rep. Thomas Massie vowed to second her motion, it seems that the threat to throw the House into further chaos has "fizzled," according to Axios . "I don't personally think so based on what I'm hearing, but you'd have to talk to the folks that have talked about triggering it," said Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.), who voted to oust former Speake...

Screen image of Hamilton Hall takeover via  Jessica Schwalb, X Twitter .   By Kristinn Taylor The Islamo-Communist revolution taking place on college campuses took another step forward overnight with the takeover of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University in New York City. Dozens of Hamas supporters who have been staging a campus ‘occupy protest’ against Israel and the United States smashed windows and stormed the building apparently unimpeded by law enforcement while hundreds more gathered outside the building to secure the entrances. The attack came after a day of dithering by campus administrators.

Since then, Hamilton Ha...

By M DOWLING The pro- Hamas  radicals at UCLA beat up the Native Americans at a ‘mostly peaceful’ rally. The Native Americans wouldn’t go along with the narrative that Hamas laid out. From day one, the Hamas-Palestine agitators have pretended they are just like Native Americans. They lured Indians into their groups. However, like all fascist groups, they can turn on a dime and reject all dissent. The Left is pushing a false equivalence, which they also do with black people and every other minority, to demonize whites. If natives challenge the Palestine-Native American equivalence, they will get viciously attacked by the Left. TikTokkers like to use the famous fake shrinking Palestine land map that doesn’t coincide with history to make the comparison. Jewish people are pushed out of country after country, and so are Christians and every other non-Muslim. They all bear the shrinking map reality. Palestine didn’t exist until after Israel was created. Thank Arafat for...

By Laura Harris A new preprint cell study from  Brown University  has found that the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19),  helps cancer cells survive and resist chemotherapy . According to the study, led by Dr. Wafik El-Deiry, the director of Brown's Legorreta Cancer Center ,  spike protein may promote cancer survival and growth through interference with anti-cancer activities, blocking the function of a crucial cancer suppressor gene known as p53. El-Deiry and his colleagues observed that when cancer cells encountered spike protein subunits, it reduced the activity of p53, a protein that helps defend the body against tumors. This allowed the cancer cells to escape the body's natural defenses against tumor formation. El-Deiry also explained that interfering with p53 can both foster cancer development and bolster cancer growth. The study also used chemo...

By Mike McDaniel On April 13,  American Thinker  posted  Should I Buy An AR-15?  That article generated 99 comments, and suggested there are some 30 million ARs in private hands in America. I also suggested one of the best reasons to buy an AR-15 is the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration (MMPA) doesn’t want you to have one, that and you’re a free American and want one. It seems  tens of millions of Americans agree: The  National Shooting Sports Foundation  (NSSF) recently released a “Firearm Production in the United States and the Firearm Import and Export Data” report which indicates that 28,144,000 modern sporting rifles (MSRs) have been put into circulation since 1990. MSR production increased 32 percent from 2020 to 2021 alone. “Modern sporting rifle” has become the standard term for the AR-15 and its several variants, though it arguably encompasses such arms as the Ruger Mini-14, even semiautomatic AK-47/74 variants. “AR,” by the way, is not...

By Thomas Stevenson A rancher who faced murder charges in Arizona for shooting an illegal immigrant who had trespassed onto his property near the southern border will not be retried after a mistrial ruled. The jurors in the case of George Alan Kelly were not able to reach a decision about the verdict after deliberating for more than two days on the case, per the  Associated Press .   On Monday, the prosecutors had the option to retry or drop the case. Santa Cruz County Superior Court Judge Thomas Fink dismissed the case as requested by the prosecution.   The 75-year-old was on trial for a month in Nogales on murder charges in the killing of 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea near Nogales, Arizona. The incident occurred during January 2023.  Cuen-Buitimea  had previously been deported from the US in 2016 after entering the US on multiple occasions.  Prosecutors argued in the case that Kelly had recklessly fired nine shots fro...

By The Post Millennial On Monday,  Donald Trump  confirmed that he had, in fact, met with  Ron DeSantis  in Florida over the weekend, and that the governor had offered his "full and enthusiastic support." The former president said that together, he and his former GOP primary rival would "make America great again." "I am very happy to have the full and enthusiastic support of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida," Trump wrote, putting an end to speculation. "We had a great meeting yesterday, arranged by mutual friend Steve Witkoff, at his beautiful Shell Bay Club in Hollywood, Florida." He explained that the conversation "mostly concerned how we would work closely together to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN," but that they also discussed "the future of Florida," which he referred to as "FANTASTIC!" "I greatly appreciate Ron's support in taking back our Country from the Worst President in the History of the Un...
