U.N. Caught Holding Event Memorializing Hamas Terrorist Commander as ‘Colleague’

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and U.N. General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock are under fire for honoring a Hamas terrorist leader who worked for schools funded by the notorious U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). 

The U.N. refused to apologize on Tuesday, shrugging off the terrorist’s inclusion as an innocent mistake.

They make these ‘innocent mistakes’ all the time.

“We have chosen jihad as our path. Death in the cause of Allah is our highest aspiration,” El Samhouri said in the video. He taunted Israel over the extensive network of tunnels Hamas constructed by stealing money from humanitarian aid operations, chortling and saying that “the Zionist enemy never imagines we will emerge from beneath the ground.”

The U.N. held an annual service in June to memorialize employees who died during the previous year. The event, which was attended by Guterres and Baerbock, featured the lighting of a candle dubbed the “eternal flame” while the names of 136 fallen U.N. employees were read to the sound of a mournful violin.

Wakademic Excellence in Cambridge: Dr Ahmed is innocent as the driven snow….

“War is deceit”, said Muhammad, profit of Islam

An academic with historic links to the now banned Hizb ut-Tahrir terror group has been recruited by Cambridge University to the same faculty as ex-professor Jason Arday.

Arday decided to kick the bucket after being exposed as a fraud.

The University of Cambridge is facing fresh scrutiny after it emerged that a former member of the now-proscribed extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir was given a role as assistant research professor in the institution’s faculty of education last year.

According to the publication, Dr Ahmed’s chapter for the 2002 Hizb ut-Tahrir pamphlet ‘Education and Identity’ was republished in 2017.

Hizb ut-Tahrir was proscribed in the UK in 2024. 

The Spectator reported that in the pamphlet, she wrote: ‘The Muslim community as a whole in Britain needs to recognise that western education is a threat to our beliefs and values.’

She attacked schools’ ‘attempts to integrate Muslim children’ as seeking to ‘produce new generations that reject Islam’ and added: ‘if society is built on kufr [unbelief], it is our duty to tackle this challenge as a community in order to protect our young from its corruption.’

Cambridge defends academic over ‘produce weaponry for Jihad’ article

Cambridge has now told Jewish News that Ahmed says the comments were not written by her and do not represent her views.

A spokesperson for the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, said: “These comments were made in an article to which Dr Ahmed contributed as a historical researcher more than 20 years ago. She has said that they are not her words and do not reflect her views. Dr Ahmed also reiterated that she ended her association with Hizb ut-Tahrir more than 15 years ago, long before the group was proscribed. Her appointment at Cambridge followed a standard recruitment process and complied fully with the University’s legal obligations as an employer.”

Ahmed previously said in 2010 that she no longer supported “all” the views of Hizb ut-Tahrir and had not recently been involved with the organisation.

The revelations follow separate scrutiny of an education project led by Ahmed which promotes an Islamic curriculum. The Spectator reported last week that teaching material promoted by the project described Israelis taken hostage by Hamas on 7 October as “prisoners of war”, called Hamas an “excuse” used by Israel to justify attacks on Gaza and included a map on which Israel did not appear.

Hizb ut-Tahrir was proscribed by the UK government on 19 January 2024. Announcing the ban, the government described it as an antisemitic organisation which “actively promotes and encourages terrorism” and pointed to its praise for the Hamas attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023.

Israel: not every conflict can be resolved

The belief that every conflict can be solved at the negotiating table is not wisdom. It is Western vanity.

The assumption that every conflict can be resolved through negotiation is often treated as a mark of wisdom. But according to British journalist and commentator Melanie Phillips, it reflects a Western arrogance that assumes every society shares the same values, motivations and worldview.

Speaking with John Anderson, she argues that this failure to understand other cultures on their own terms has repeatedly led the West to misjudge the conflicts it faces – with dangerous consequences. Watch the full interview, ‘Iran, Trump, and the Weakening of the West’, on John Anderson’s YouTube channel.

John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute, codirector of the Urban Warfare Project, and host of the Urban Warfare Project Podcast at West Point: “Hamas use of child soldiers is disgusting and without honor. As well as all the groups that do not acknowledge it and push statistics without context or details.

Israel: the IDF arranges meetings with the virgins….

The @IDF eliminated Mahmoud Fatair, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad Nukhba commander who participated in the October 7 massacre and helped hold Rom Braslavski hostage in Gaza.

Fatair also appeared in PIJ uniform during hostage handover ceremonies and was recently advancing terror attacks against Israeli troops and civilians.
The IDF will continue operating to eliminate every threat against the people of Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces eliminated Ahmed Hussein Mohammed Kafina, commander of Kataeb al-Mujahideen in central Gaza, who participated in the abduction of Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or and directed the abduction of Sudthisak Rinthalak during the October 7 massacre.
 
Throughout the war, he continued advancing terror attacks against Israeli troops and civilians.
 
The @idf will continue operating to defend the people of Israel.
The Israeli army and its security agency Shin Bet have claimed they destroyed five Hamas weapon depots in the Gaza Strip overnight.
 
The army said one of the weapon depots was located adjacent to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah and alleged that these sites were used by Hamas to store assault rifles, explosive devices, anti-tank launchers and other military equipment.
 
  • Israel’s military has carried out several more deadly air attacks in Gaza – one killing a person in Deir el-Balah and another killing a person in al-Mawasi area, according to local hospital sources and our colleagues on the ground.

Israel, the world’s heroic scapegoat

An Israeli airstrike on Saturday killed the head of the Hamas-led police force in the northern Gaza Strip, Brigadier General Abdel-Nasser Al-Maqadma, the Hamas-run interior ministry and medics said.

Maqadma, one of at least five Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes on Saturday, was also known as the governor of the northern Gaza Strip.

He was killed in the Sheikh Radwan area north of Gaza City, medics said.

The Israeli military said he was also part of Hamas’s military wing.

Islamic Jihad terrorist Raed Abdul Hamid Khudair was dispatched to the virgins by the Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza.

Inbred Hamas terrorist Umar Adeel Muhammad was permanently neutralized by the Israeli Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip.

Israel has killed dozens of members of the Hamas-led police force, including senior officials, in the past months, accusing many of them of being members of the Hamas armed wing who posed imminent threats to Israel and its forces inside Gaza.

Saudi Arabia Says Iran Proxies in Iraq Are Launching Drones at Its Oil Facilities

Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the strikes on oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia as “a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and stability”.

Saudi Arabia’s defense ministry announced on Monday that it intercepted multiple drones targeting eastern oil facilities that were launched by Iran-controlled Shiite militia forces in Iraq.

The Saudis said they would exercise their “right to respond” at the “appropriate time and place.”

“These terrorist attempts were launched from Iraqi territory and executed by Iranian-affiliated terrorist militias,” the Saudi defense ministry said.

The Saudi statement did not specify exactly how many drones were launched or if any damage was inflicted on the ground when they were intercepted.

JUST IN: Iran Launches Strikes at US Base in “Attempted Surprise Attack” After Trump Halted Strikes Against Iran

Iran launched a missile strike on US forces in the Middle East on Tuesday in what US Central Command described as a “attempted surprise attack.”

All of the missiles were intercepted, CENTCOM says.

This comes after President Trump called off the nearly two-week-long bombing campaign against Iran to continue negotiations on Friday.

“At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness,” US Central Command announced in a statement.

  • US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held “positive and productive” talks, the White House says.

Trump Derangement Syndrome has become so severe that too many Democrats now appear more determined to stop President Trump than to stop the Iranian regime.

Iran is not merely another country involved in a policy disagreement.

It is a hostile theocracy that has spent decades threatening Americans, funding terrorist proxies and destabilizing the Middle East.

Yet in the middle of an active conflict, Democrats are making “Stop This Illegal War” their rallying cry while American forces remain in danger. Continue reading Iran Launches Strikes at US Base in “Attempted Surprise Attack”

This is how the Iranians, or at least the supporters of Iran’s Islamic regime, view their conflict with the United States. They see it as a religious conflict, a jihad for Islam, which is the one aspect of it that State Department analysts, and virtually everyone else in the West, resolutely ignore.

Houthis and Saudi Arabia exchange fire as US-Iran war intensifies

The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its “condemnation and strong denunciation” of the Houthi attacks against ships in the Red Sea.

  • Saudi Arabia launches strikes on Yemen’s Houthi-held city of Hodeidah in the latest escalation during the regional war between the United States and Iran.

  • Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia has claimed that “almost all” US military infrastructure in Iraq’s Erbil has been destroyed during recent attacks by the IRGC, he told Iranian state television, as reported by Anadolu Agency.
  • The Houthis have condemned those attacks and claimed air defences “intercepted enemy aircraft”.
  • The IRGC naval forces stopped four vessels in the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours after firing warning shots, Iranian state television has reported.

A public rift has emerged between Iran’s government and state television over how to portray the state of war and negotiations with the United States, as mediators try to nudge both countries towards diplomacy.

Former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly said there would be no negotiations with Washington – but privately had given his approval.

“We went to the dear leader, explained the situation, and asked him what to do since he had said the ‘no war, no peace’ conditions are bad for the country,” the president said. “He ordered us to go negotiate. We started the talks based on his order.”

‘Military action alone’ won’t change Iran’s perspective

Iran has “no perfect choices or even good ones”, according to Michael Mulroy, former US deputy assistant secretary of defence for the Middle East and a CIA paramilitary operations officer.

However, if Iran can sell energy, then the US is “not going to be able to isolate them to the point where they change their perspective on a new agreement that’s more conducive to the United States”, he told Al Jazeera.

“So I think we need to build an international coalition to identify how we’re doing this: sanctions, secondary sanctions, freezing assets, the IRGC’s global infrastructure – all these things need to happen”, he said, adding “they probably won’t happen fast enough for the White House’s perspective, but they do need to happen because it’s clear that just military action alone is not changing that perspective”.

“From the US perspective, it needs several things to happen for this not to be considered a strategic failure; they need the Strait of Hormuz to be open, completely open and they need a new nuclear agreement that guarantees Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon, and we’re pretty far from that.”

“The Palestinian cause and the injustice inflicted upon Gaza will remain our fundamental and central issue, one that is not subject to compromise,” he said in the statement, adding that the Houthis “will not permit a return to war and aggression against the Gaza Strip”.

Al-Madani concluded: “We reiterate our complete readiness to resume military escalation immediately, should the Israeli enemy attempt to launch another aggression or war against the Gaza Strip.”

On Monday, al-Hayya replaced Yahya Sinwar, who was killed in combat with Israeli forces in October 2024 as Hamas fought a full-scale, two-year war with Israel in the Gaza Strip.

Al-Hayya, a former deputy chairman of the Palestinian group and one of five members of its leadership council, won an internal ballot in a run-off against former political leader Khaled Meshaal, Hamas said in a statement on Monday.
