Captured Hamas terrorists confirm that the group’s operational base is under Gaza’s Shifa Hospital, used to store weapons, explosives and other supplies

On 28 October a video provided by the Israeli military confirmed that the Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas has a bunker beneath Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, which is the largest hospital in Gaza. It showed excerpts from the interrogation of two assailants who participated in the 7 October massacre in southern Israel.

The footage was made public one day after Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated that Hamas’s primary operating headquarters was beneath the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip and that the group’s operations were documented with images and audio that had been intercepted. The clips were with English subtitles and featured the captives being questioned.

One of them, Amar Sammy Marzuk Abu A’yoah told his interrogator that he is a member of Hamas’s naval commando force, the Nukhba and belongs to Gaza City’s Tuffah region. He revealed about the network of Hamas tunnels and pointed out that they pass under residential areas, however, not all neighbourhoods have entrances. He clarified that tunnels are concealed beneath hospitals and mentioned that Shifa Hospital has “underground levels.”

He noted, “Shifa is not small, it is a big place that can be used to hide things.” He asserted that Hamas takes advantage of hospitals, clinics and other medical facilities because it knows that Israel won’t attack them. The terrorist organisation utilise the establishments to transfer “explosives, weapons, food and medical equipment.” He added, “Shifa is a safe place, it will not be struck. To them it is safe. That’s what we know.”

“First they (Hamas) worry about the machines and their jeeps and then they give to the people,” he confirmed another Israeli allegation that Hamas was stockpiling gasoline instead of delivering it to Gazans. He proclaimed that anybody seeking to depart Gaza through Egypt must obtain the outfit’s authorisation in order to do so.

A man identifying himself as combat medic Hassan Hassn Hassin Za’areb appears in another video. According to him, he was involved in the attacks on Kibbutz Sufa, a community close to the Gaza border where armed individuals went from house to house murdering every individual they could find.

“According to what I’ve heard, the Shifa hospital, they’re using it, they’re hiding there. But I don’t know about Najar,” he highlighted and named another medical centre in the Gaza city of Rafah.

IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari announced on 27 October that Hamas possesses multiple subterranean structures beneath Shifa, which serve as bases for the terrorist organization’s leaders to orchestrate assaults on Israel. The military spokesman reports that Israel believed that it had concrete evidence that many terrorists took refuge in the hospital following the 7 October assault.

Approximately 2,500 terrorists used a constant barrage of rockets to infiltrate the border in order to carry out the deadly attack following which they launched a devastating rampage through more than 20 nearby communities in the vicinity of the Gaza Strip. Around 1,400 individuals lost their lives with the majority being innocent civilians as they were brutally killed in their homes as well as in an outdoor music event. A total of more than 220 individuals were also taken to Gaza as hostages by the terrorists.

Israel has made a commitment to wipe out Hamas in response to the attack while actively seeking to minimize harm to innocent civilians. An extensive bombardment has been conducted on terrorist objectives as a preemptive measure before a potential invasion by ground forces. Hamas and other terrorist groups continue to fire rockets into southern and central Israel which resulted in an increase in the number of victims and fatalities.

The IDF alleged that Hamas’s internal security operates a command centre within Shifa Hospital from where it stocks up on weapons and executes rocket attacks into Israel. According to Daniel Hagari, Hamas is employing the hospital’s energy infrastructure as part of its underground base. He alleged that the terrorist group is using the hospital which has 1,500 beds and the people inside it including around 4,000 staff members as human shields.

Arab and Western officials notified The New York Times recently that Hamas is hoarding essential supplies like food and fuel in the Gaza Strip, depriving the desperate residents of accessing them. On 27 October, the officials informed the newspaper that the terror group had gathered supplies within its extensive tunnel network.

While Hamas has an extensive network of tunnels under Gaza, which is virtually an entire underground city, the group is not using it to protect civilians from Israeli bombings. The tunnels are for the exclusive use of terrorists.

The anonymous sources claimed that in addition to food, medicine and water reserves, Hamas controlled hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel that it used to power trucks, rockets and other military equipment. The publication was informed by a top Lebanese official that Hamas owned sufficient supplies to allow the outfit to fight for three to four months without requiring reinforcements.

The authorities talked to the newspaper without disclosing their identities in order to protect their sources. The IDF published images earlier this week that appeared to display fuel tanks in the Gaza Strip and declared that it had reliable information that Hamas was keeping about 500,000 litres of fuel in storage there. The military charged that Hamas is taking fuel from the civilian population in Gaza.

After Hamas unleashed the atrocities on Israel on 7 October, the Jewish state which routinely supplied fuel to Gaza stopped all of the deliveries and stressed that it would allow Palestinian civilians to enter southern Gaza from Egypt with food, water, and medical supplies but not fuel so provided as the items do not reach Hamas.

Without a gasoline supply, hospitals and other crucial amenities in the Palestinian territory run the risk of collapsing. The IDF insisted that it is actively monitoring the situation and that there isn’t a humanitarian crisis in Gaza right now. The health ministry operated by Hamas in the Gaza Strip has revealed numbers claiming that over 7,000 people have died there since Israel initiated retaliatory air and artillery attacks on the day of the onslaught.

These figures which include Palestinian terrorists murdered by Israel and Palestinian civilians killed by misdirected rockets fired by terror organisations in Gaza, cannot be independently confirmed. 1,500 Hamas terrorists were reportedly killed by Israel on and after 7 October.

Pakistani politician hails Adolf Hitler amid Israel-Hamas war, justifies extermination of 6 million Jews

Amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, prominent Pakistani politician Afnan Ullah Khan justified the killing of 6 million Jews by the Nazi regime in Germany. Afnan Ullah Khan is a senator from the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) party.

In a tweet on Saturday (28th October), he claimed, “Atleast now the world know, why he did, what he did #Gaza_Genocide.” The Pakistani politician tried to rationalise the extermination of the Jewish community by Adolf Hitler.

While lamenting Israel’s counterattack against Hamas terrorists, he posted a picture of Adolf Hitler and glorified the Nazi leader for killing Jews. Despite the anti-Semitic nature of his tweet, X (formerly Twitter) did not suspend the account of Afnan Ullah Khan.

Screengrab of the tweet by Senator Dr. Afnan Ullah Khan


The Holocaust, a horrifying event during World War II, was the systematic genocide perpetrated by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime and collaborators against the Jewish community. Between 1941 and 1945, they systematically annihilated around six million Jews.

Victims suffered in concentration camps, enduring starvation, forced labour, and gas chambers. The Holocaust also targeted millions of others, including Romani people, disabled individuals, Poles, and Soviet prisoners of war.

When Afnan Ullah Khan called Imran Khan ‘Jewish agent’

A live debate on a Pakistani news channel took a violent turn on 27th September this year when PML-N Senator Afnan Ullah Khan referred to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan as an ‘agent of Jews’ in the presence of PTI spokesperson Sher Afzal Marwat.

During a talk show on Express News, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Afnan Ullah Khan claimed that former Prime Minister of Pakistan and PTI chairman Imran Khan is an agent of Jews and has been working against the interests of the country.

Infuriated by this, PTI spokesperson Sher Afzal Marwat slapped the PML-N leader and the two then indulged in a fight on national television. Afnan Ullah Khan claimed that Imran Khan is the biggest “Boot Chaat” (bootlicker) in the country.

“From General Pervaiz Musharraf to others, he (Imran Khan) has licked the shoes of so many,” Khan said. Meanwhile, PTI’s Sher Afzal also abused the PML-N leader and his party. Thereafter, Afnan Ullah Khan went on to call Imran Khan a “HaramKh*r” as well.

The PML-N leader went on to assert that Yahudis (Jews) were the fathers of Imran Khan. Fuming in anger, the PTI representative in the debate got up and slapped Afnan Ullah Khan. The fight between the two leaders of Pakistan’s prominent political parties reached a point where the backstage crew had to intervene.

While taking to X (formerly, Twitter) on Thursday (September 28), PTI spokesperson Sher Afzal claimed that the Express-News journalist hosting the said talk show was spreading rumours that the PML-N leader was a “Superman”.

Alappuzha Police arrest 49-year-old self-proclaimed “faith healer” Salim for raping a young woman on the pretext of treatment of anger issues

On 27th October, a 49-year-old self-proclaimed occult Salim was arrested by Kayamkulam Police for raping a 19-year-old young girl on the pretext of treating her anger issues. The accused was arrested from Kayamkulam Peringala Darul Fatima Pereth’s house.

As per reports, when the victim’s parents took her to the occult for treatment, he took her to another room and raped her. The accused was presented at the Kayamkulam court and sent to police remand.

According to the FIR registered in the case, the victim was raped twice. In December 2022, the victim’s parents took her to see the occult for treatment of anger issues. The accused took her to the back room and touched her inappropriately before raping her.

In January 2023, she was again taken to the occult for treatment, where the accused raped her again. He allegedly threatened the victim with consequences if she told her family about it.

The victim approached the police on 20th October and filed a complaint. The FIR was registered on 27th October under Sections 376(2)(n) and 354A(1)(i) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

One person killed and over 40 injured in multiple blasts at a Jehovah’s Witnesses meeting in Kerala’s Ernakulam, NIA to probe

One person killed and over 40 injured in multiple blasts at a Jehovah’s Witnesses meeting in Kerala’s Ernakulam, NIA to probe

On 29th October, a woman was killed, and around 40 were injured in multiple blasts at a Jehovah’s Witnesses prayer meeting at a convention centre at Kalamassery, Ernakulam in Kochi district. The injured were rushed to the Government Medical College Hospital. As per reports, a charred body has been recovered by the Fire Department personnel from the site. The number of victims might rise. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been called for the investigation.

It is notable that Jehovah’s Witnesses is a Christian denomination.

Speaking to News18, Assistant Commissioner of Police Thirakkakara Baby PV confirmed that 40 people got injured in the blast, with some of them in critical condition. “All investigating agencies are present at the spot, investigation is going on… investigation will reveal whether this is a bomb blast… one dead, 40 injured, four-five are critically injured. The situation is under control,” he said.

Reports suggest that multiple blasts took place at the convention centre, with social media users reporting 3 to 4 blasts. Police have said that multiple explosions took place at around 9 AM on Sunday morning, but didn’t give a number. Kalamassery CI Vibin Das said the first explosion took place around 9 AM and multiple blasts followed thereafter, over the next one hour. Some of the injured sustained injuries in the blast, while others got injured while trying to get out of the convention hall.

However, a committee member of the church said the blast was an accident.

Around seven people, including a child, have been admitted to ICU. Reportedly, nine people were shifted to SUnrise Hospital in Kakkanad as they were in critical condition. Specialist doctors have been called from Kottayam Government Medical College to Kalamassery Medical College to provide treatment to the injured sustaining burn injuries.

The cause of the blast is unclear. Reports suggest that around 2,000 people were attending the 3-day convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses at Zamra International Convention & Exhibition Centre in Kalamassery. Eyewitnesses were quoted by Manorama News saying at least three blasts took place inside the hall.

In a statement Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan said, “It’s a very unfortunate incident. We are collecting details regarding the incident. All top officials are there in Ernakulam. DGP is moving to the spot. We are taking it very seriously. I have spoken to DGP. We need to get more details after the investigation.”

Health Minister Veena George has also directed all hospitals to alert health workers who are on leave to return immediately to tend to those injured in the blast. Veena George directed the Director of the Health Department and Director of the Medical Education Department to provide the best treatment for those injured in the explosion, a statement issued by the Health Minister’s office said.

‘Jehovah’s Witnesses’ are Christians who don’t identify as Protestants. The Jehovah’s Witness Convention is an annual gathering where larger assemblies, called Regional Conventions, take place. These conventions usually last three days, from Friday to Sunday. Sunday was the last day of the three-day meeting, which started on October 27. As Jehovah’s community is a separate Christian group, they often become targets of other communities because of their differences.

The blast took place just two days after former Hamas chief Khaled Mashal virtually addressed an anti-Israel rally by Jamaat e Islami in Kerala’s Malappuram. Calls against Hindus and Jews were made during the rally, with the participants agreeing to support Hamas. Kerala has a minuscule population of Jews, all of whom reside in Kochin, and Ernakulam is also in Kochin. Some social media users are claiming that there is a Jewish population in Kalamassery, where the blasts took place. However, this claim can’t be verified, and the blasts took place inside a Christian church.

Put the heads of top 100 Hamas leaders on stakes and line them up on Israel-Gaza border: US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy

Put the heads of top 100 Hamas leaders on stakes and line them up on Israel-Gaza border: US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy

On Saturday (28th October), Vivek Ramaswamy called for Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to put the heads of Hamas leaders on stakes along the Israel-Gaza border to ensure there are no further terror attacks from Hamas. Vivek Ramaswamy is the US presidential candidate from the Republican Party.

Ramaswamy was addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) in Las Vegas in the USA. The RJC identifies itself as a Republican voice in the Jewish community and a voice for American Jews in the GOP.

Vivek Ramaswamy said, “I have full confidence that if left unrestrained, the IDF will be able to get the job of defending Israel done. I’ll personally hope for a successful in-and-out operation and would love nothing more than for the IDF to put the heads of the top 100 Hamas leaders on stakes and line them up on the Israel-Gaza border as a sign that October 7, 2023, will never happen again, and then use all of its saved resources to rebuild its border defences for the future. But that is Israel’s decision to make, not ours.”

In his address, Vivek Ramaswamy said that Israel should go ahead and destroy Hamas and Hezbollah and abandon the two-state solution if it wants.

Vivek Ramaswamy also recalled recent attacks on Jews in America

Vivek Ramaswamy also took cognisance of the attacks on Jews in the USA after Israel started retaliatory attacks against Hamas in Gaza. He said, “Jewish Americans now suffer at home as their fellow Americans throw salt on those fresh wounds. We hear the bone-chilling story of a new antisemitic attack in this country almost daily. From the Jewish students at Cooper Union who were locked in the school library as pro-Palestinian demonstrators pounded on the door to the Israeli students from Harvard Business School and Columbia who were violently attacked after peacefully confronting those who disagreed with them.”

He added, “Our friends in New York City say they’ve told their young sons to take off their yarmulkes when they’re on the street, and Jewish schools remain closed for fear of attacks. That is not America. We are a nation where every Jew and every American deserves to be safe, free to worship, and free to be who they are without fear.”

‘The Hamas attacks were barbaric, medieval, and sub-human’

Vivek Ramaswamy, in his speech, detailed his association with the Jewish community and various Jewish organisations since his university days. He also mentioned how he found the first investor for his company during his visit to Israel a decade ago. With giving a brief account of the history of Israel, he quoted Israel’s founding father David Ben Gurion multiple times in his speech before addressing the issue of the recent attacks by Hamas on Israel on 7th October, prompting the war that is still going on.

Vivek Ramaswamy said, “The Hamas attacks were barbaric. They were medieval. They were sub-human. David Ben-Gurion said at Israel’s founding: ‘The most dangerous enemy to Israel’s security is the intellectual inertia of those who are responsible for security.’ There’s little doubt that there was some intellectual inertia within Israel’s modern military and intelligence that allowed for a failure of defences that allowed October 7th to happen.”

‘Iran used Biden administration’s funds to attack Israel’

He added, “The U.S. and Israel share a vital interest in making sure that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon. It was utter lunacy for the Biden administration to make a $6 billion ransom payment to Iran, which not only calls for death to Israel, but death to America. Yet against that backdrop, it was also sheer lunacy for the U.S. to have advanced discussions this summer about the transfer of nuclear technology to Iran’s Sunni rival Saudi Arabia – which, while more accommodating than Iran is towards the U.S. and Israel, absolutely should NOT become a nuclear power either.”

He further added, “There is almost no doubt that the October 7th attacks on Israel were at least in part the result of that disastrous manoeuvre by the U.S. That’s a hard truth that we as Americans must confront – that these poor decisions may have played a role in catalyzing the October 7th attack on our most important Middle Eastern ally – even though it’s not a particularly popular narrative in the media right now.”

‘Israel should go ahead and destroy Hamas and Hezbollah’

Vivek Ramaswamy asserted that Israel can survive only if it revisits its founding principles. He said, “Now is the moment for Israel to return to its founding premise: the Jewish State has an absolute right to exist. A Divine gift, gifted to a Divine nation, charged with a Divine purpose. Israel has an absolute and unequivocal right and responsibility to defend itself to the fullest, applying the only language its adversaries understand – the language of force.”

Vivek Ramaswamy added, “And what would David Ben-Gurion say? Don’t depend on anyone else’s fleeting sympathies or permission to do it. If Israel wants to destroy Hamas, Israel should go ahead and destroy Hamas. If Israel wants to destroy Hezbollah, Israel should go ahead and destroy Hezbollah. If Israel and Mossad want to pull off Munich 2.0 and take out every last leader of Hamas wherever they may be hiding, from Doha to Dresden, and host a red wedding at the Four Seasons in Qatar the next time Haniyeh and Mashaal show up, they should go ahead and do it.”

Vivek Ramaswamy said, “If Israel wants to at long last abandon the myth of a two-state solution, Israel should go ahead and abandon a 2-state solution. The rest of the Arab World can absorb Palestinians just as the Jews absorbed their people thrown out of 22 countries since 1948. The Islamic World cannot continue to condone the slaughtering of Jews while continuing to disown the Palestinians. That’s the hard truth that nobody else in either political party is willing to speak out loud to the Arab world. I will. But these are decisions for Israel to make, not America. I’m not running for President of Israel. I’m running for President of the United States.”

Israel Hamas war

On 7th October (local time), Hamas launched the worst terrorist attack on southern Israel, killing at least 1,400 Israelis and foreign nationals, including children, elderly and women. Over 200 people were taken hostage by the Hamas terrorists. Women were raped, children were killed in front of their parents, the elderly were shot dead point black in their homes, Israeli soldiers were killed, and the terrorists mutilated their bodies during the attack. Israel launched a counter-strike on Hamas following the attack. So far, around 8,000 lives have been lost in Israeli air strikes. Israel has warned the civilians multiple times to evacuate, but reports suggest that Hamas terrorists kept stopping them. Meanwhile, India launched Operation Ajay to rescue Indians from Israel. On 29th October, the Israel-Hamas war entered its 22nd day.

Pakistan: Jamaat-e-Islami leaders, workers baton-charged and arrested for planning ‘Gaza March’ outside US embassy without permission

On 29 Saturday, the police in Pakistan apprehended more than 40 workers and three leaders of the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) following two separate incidents on the Srinagar Highway (formerly Kashmir Highway) in Islamabad with the intention to prevent the radical outfit turned political party from arranging an anti-Israel rally. The rally from Faizabad to the United States embassy was reportedly planned without obtaining prior authorisation from the district administration.

The district administration refused to allow JI to organise the rally and a large number of police and Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel cleared out the JI camp that had been established along the Highway and arrested the workers and local leaders. The Srinagar Highway was stopped by party members who were enraged over the police intervention. Furthermore, police dispersed them with tear gas shells and baton charges.

Police detained party leader Kashif Chaudhry, spokesman Aamir Baloch, chief of JI Islamabad Nasrullah Randhawa and other members. Their stage, sound equipment and lights were also seized by the cops. A police official stated that no political organisation is permitted to block city highways.

He stated that rallies and processions are prohibited in the city due to the implementation of Section 144, but that peaceful protests could be held with official approval. He mentioned that a few persons were rounded up for obstructing the Highway. The demonstrators retaliated to the action by throwing stones at the police.

JI Information Secretary Sajjad Ahmad Abbasi informed that the head of their Islamabad unit as well as his deputies Dr Farooq and Kashif Chaudhry had been taken into custody. According to him, the group was preparing for the ‘Gaza March’ which was scheduled for 29 October, when authorities showed up and cleared out their camps.

The spokesperson provided details regarding the demonstration and alleged that about two weeks ago the outfit approached the capital administration and requested a permission letter to plan the march from Faizabad to the United States embassy in the Diplomatic Enclave. He argued that the party had twice changed the march’s itinerary at the behest of the administration, first from Sports Complex to Dhokri Chowk and then from Zero Point to Dhokri Chowk.

As Deputy Commissioner Irfan Nawaz Memon did not reply to their request for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to set up the protest march, he added that JI leader Kashif Chaudhry went to the official who gave them consent to stage the march “on WhatsApp.” The party established up camp and installed a sound system near Srinagar Highway in anticipation of the march which had the deputy commissioner’s clearance.

He conveyed, “In the afternoon, a heavy contingent of police reached the site and started uprooting their camps and confiscated their equipment on the pretext of Section 144 and lack of permission from the administration for the protest rally.”

He proclaimed that the JI workers and the police got into a verbal dispute over the action which escalated into a physical brawl in which the former hurled stones at the officers while tear gas shelling and baton charges were used by the latter. He noted that the police detained around twenty party workers and at least three leaders and brought them to the Secretariat police station.

The leaders of JI assembled on the Srinagar Highway to have a press conference in reaction to the police crackdown. He added that this led to yet another round of altercations between the organisation and law enforcement and that the police nabbed more than twenty members and placed them in the lock-up.

A police spokesman commented on the state of law and order and stated that “some people were attempting to block the Srinagar Highway” as the reason for the arrests. He highlighted, “The highway is an inter-provincial connectivity road and blocking the road creates problems for the public.” They were advised by the police to adhere to standard protocols for peaceful protests.

Bihar: Dead body found at the residence of Congress MLA, suspicion on her absconding relative

On Saturday (28th October), the dead body of a young person was found in Congress MLA Neetu Singh’s ancestral house on Khanwan Road, which falls in the Narhat police station area of Narhat in Bihar. The dead body was recovered from the room of the MLA’s nephew Golu Singh. The deceased has been identified as Piyush Kumar (age around 28 to 30), son of Tuntun Singh.

According to the mother of the deceased Piyush Kumar, her son visited Golu Kumar around 7 p.m. on Friday (27th October) carrying some Rotis with him. Additionally, they ordered chicken from a nearby hotel, intending to dine together. However, when Piyush didn’t return by midnight, she locked the doors and retired for the night. The following morning, with Piyush still absent, they started a search for him. It was during this search that they discovered Piyush’s body in Golu’s room during the afternoon.

Upon receiving information about the incident, SP Ambarish Rahul, Rajauli SDPO Pankaj Kumar and police personnel from Narhat, Sirdala, Parnadabar, and Meskaur police stations, arrived at Khanwan. The body of Piyush displayed signs of assault, leading to suspicions of a potential altercation between Piyush and Golu Kumar, possibly resulting in Piyush being fatally assaulted.

SP Ambarish Rahul said, “Initial investigations suggest that Piyush had left to have dinner with the MLA’s brother-in-law’s son, carrying Rotis from home. The following day, the Narhat police station was notified of Piyush’s body being discovered at the MLA’s residence. Golu has been missing since the incident, prompting authorities to conduct raids to apprehend him. Efforts are also underway to identify other individuals involved in the incident. An SIT has been established to conduct a comprehensive inquiry into the matter. Currently, it has been reported that the MLA is in Patna with her entire family.”

Piyush was the brother of Prince who served as a personal aide to MLA Neetu Singh. The family has distant ties to the MLA. However, the cause of the incident is yet to be ascertained. Currently, suspicion is shifting towards Golu Kumar, the son of the MLA’s brother-in-law, Suman Singh. Reports suggest that Golu Kumar is currently evading authorities.

Reacting to the incident, MLA Neetu Kumari underlined her lack of involvement with the house where the body was discovered. Stating that her husband and brother-in-law had already parted ways a decade ago.

Neetu Singh serves as a Congress MLA representing the Hisua constituency in Bihar’s Nawada district. Suman Singh, the brother-in-law of Neetu Singh, is married to Abha Singh, who previously held the position of district president within the Congress. All of them are part of the family lineage of the late former minister Aaditya Singh, residing in various sections of the Narhat residence. The suspect, Golu Kumar, is currently evading authorities.

Neetu Singh was in the news in August 2023 when she defended the “flying kiss” by Congress scion Rahul Gandhi. In a bizarre and disparaging statement defending Rahul Gandhi’s obscene act, Neetu Singh said, “Our leader, Rahul Gandhi, has no shortage of young females. Why would he blow a flying kiss to a 50-year-old woman and not a young girl? All these allegations against Rahul Gandhi are baseless.”

George Soros, who has no guilt in association with Nazi Godfather, gave $15 million to pro-Hamas groups since 2016: Report

Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, it has come to light that rallies carried out in the United States in support of Hamas were funded by George Soros.

As per a report by The New York Post, the Hungarian-American billionaire has funnelled over $15 million to pro-Hamas groups since 2016 through his Open Society Foundations (OSF).

About $13.7 million has been disbursed to a leftist advocacy group by the name of ‘Tides Centre’, which funds non-profit organisations that justified Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the subsequent killing of 1400 civilians.

The said non-profits include the ‘Adalah Justice Project’, which tried to rationalise the terror attack on Israel by Hamas. In an Instagram post, it said, “Israeli colonizers believed they could indefinitely trap two million people in an open-air prison… no cage goes unchallenged.”

According to The New York Post, members of the ‘Adalah Justice Project’ organised a rally in Byrant Park on 20th October this year and raised anti-Semitic slogans. One of them was seen waving a sign that read, “I do not condemn Hamas.”

The pro-Hamas ‘Byrant Park demonstration’ was reportedly sponsored by ‘Desis Rising Up and Moving’, which received $30k in 2020 from the ‘Tides Centre’ (funded by George Soros’ OSF).

Moreover, OSF paid $60,000 to ‘Arab American Association of New York’, which is connected to ‘activist’ Linda Sarsour. She organised the ‘Flood Brooklyn for Palestine’ event on 21st October and called for the eradication of Israel.

According to The New York Post, George Soros also granted $1.5 million to ‘Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel’, $6,50,000 to ‘Jewish Voice for Peace’ and $4,00,000 to pro-Palestinian advocacy group ‘If Not Now.’

In an article titled ‘The Root of Violence is Oppression’, the Jewish Voice for Peace rationalised the Hamas’ attack on Israel. It claimed, “Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence.”

Screengrab of the article by Soros-funded ‘Jewish Voice for Peace’

Dan Schneider of the ‘Media Research Center’ told NYP, “George Soros and his son Alex have a long history of supporting the most radical organizations across the planet, and that includes pro-Hamas organizations that support the most heinous kind of behaviour.”

“We’ve called on George Soros to withdraw this funding, but he seems very determined to continue supporting antisemitic organizations that want to upend Western civilization,” he added.

Ari Remez, a spokesperson for Pro-Hamas advocacy group ‘Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel’ conceded, “ (OSF) has been generously supporting our work on defending the human rights of Palestinians under Israeli control for many years, and we are grateful for their immense contribution to this effort.”

No guilt in association with Nazi Godfather: George Soros

Amidst the social media chatter around George Soros, a 1998 interview of the Hungarian-American billionaire with journalist Steve Kroft on ’60 minutes Australia’ has been doing the rounds on the internet.

At the very onset, Kroft noted, “When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros’ father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat, but knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up.”

He emphasized how Soros’ father bribed a government official to supposedly accept the billionaire as his ‘Christian Godson’ when he was a teenager.

Kroft noted, “While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his fake Godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.”

When he quizzed the billionaire about the event, Soros downplayed it by claiming he was a teen and that someone else would have done the same things anyway even if he refused to participate. It must be mentioned that the billionaire was 68 years old at the time of the controversial interview.

“You watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps?” Kroft inquired. Soros calmly said, “Right, I was 14 years old, and I would say that that’s when my character was made…That one should think ahead, one should understand and anticipate events when one is threatened.”

The billionaire also responded with an affirmation when asked whether he accompanied his Nazi Godfather in confiscating Jewish properties. When asked if he had developed psychiatric issues on account of his involvement, he said that it created ‘no problem at all.’

George Soros categorically stated he had no guilt about his association with the man. “I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away…but there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there,” he said casually.

“It is just like in markets, that if I weren’t there. Of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would be taking it away anyhow whether I was there or not,” he further added.

Towards the end, he asserted, “I was only a spectator. The property was being taken away. I had no role in taking away the property. I had no sense of guilt.

Anti-Hindu Delhi Riots 2020: Court frames charges against Mohammed Shahnawaz in Dilbar Negi murder case, discharges 11

On 25th October, Karkardooma Court Delhi framed charges against Mohammed Shahnawaz alias Shanu in the murder case of 22-year-old Hindu man Dilbar Negi, who was burnt to death during the anti-Hindu Delhi Riots of 2020. As per the orders passed by Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala, Shahnawaz was part of the riotous mob that targeted individuals and properties belonging to the Hindu community.

The court noted that the actions of the mob, including pelting petrol bombs and setting fire to properties, were in clear violation of the legal restrictions as defined under Section 144 of the CrPC. The court added that the mob’s motives were to harm Hindu individuals and disrupt public harmony, which led to the death of Dilbar Negi.

Charges were framed against Shahnawaz under Sections 148, 153A, 302, 436, 450, 149 and 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). However, the court did not find sufficient evidence under Sections 120B and 34 of the IPC against him.

Eleven others mentioned in the FIR 38/2020 registered at PS Gokulpuri were discharged from the case due to lack of evidence. The court observed that they were present during different points of time, and their involvement in other incidents could not be made basis to implicate them in the murder of Negi.

In the orders, the court noted that there was evidence on record that showed Shahnawaz to be part of the riotous mob. The court said, “It is worth mentioning here that many accused persons were identified in the video of riots of different times, but they were not identified even based on the video by any of these two eyewitnesses to say that these accused persons had also accompanied Shanu while entering into the godown just before the godown was set on fire. Therefore, the other accused persons, except Shanu and Shahnawaz, are entitled for discharge in this case.”

Dilbar Negi was a waiter at Anil Sweet Corner. The case was investigated by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Crime Branch. During the investigation, 12 people were arrested by the police. The charge sheet was filed on 4th June 2020.

In their statement, public witnesses said the rioters pelted stones and raised anti-Hindu slogans. They ransacked and torched numerous houses and shops belonging to the Hindu community. They also burnt down the building where Dilbar Negi was hiding, leading to his death. Shahnawaz was placed at the scene by six out of eight witnesses.

“Nothing unusual”: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind youth wing leader justifies ex-Hamas chief Khaled Mashal’s virtual presence at pro-Palestine event in Kerala

Amidst controversy around the former chief of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, Khaled Mashal, virtually addressing a ‘solidarity event’ in Kerala’s Mallapuram, the organiser of the event has justified his virtual attendance saying that “there is nothing unusual or illegal about it.”

Suhaib CT, the state chief of Student Youth Movement (SYM), the youth wing of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind outfit, said that Hamas is not a terrorist organisation but a ‘resistance movement’ and that Indian authorities have not banned the outfit. He added that Hamas is not operational in India, however, its leaders have addressed programmes in India even in the past.

“Hamas is not a banned organisation in India nor has it been declared as a terrorist outfit here. It does not operate in India as well. Their leaders have spoken several times to the people in Kerala at programmes in the past. Hamas is a resistance movement. It is a party that has won several seats in the last elections there. Therefore, there is nothing unusual about a leader of such a party taking part in a Palestine solidarity event in Kerala. Such a leader speaking here is not a crime under any law,” Suhaib said adding that the SYM event in Mallapuram was only about condemning Israeli action against Palestine.

He further claimed that many more such ‘solidarity events’ will be organised in India that will prove the support of the Indians for the Palestinian people.

As reported earlier, it was seen in the viral video from the event that several posters were put up with the tagline “Uproot bulldozer Hindutva and apartheid Zionism”. In his address, Hamas terrorist Khaled Mashal urged Muslims to unconditionally support Hamas.

In response to BJP leader K Surendran slamming SYM and questioning police inaction, Suhaib CT alleged that BJP and RSS are trying to label everyone expressing solidarity with Palestine as ‘terrorists’. He claimed that the BJP is doing so to curb the protests against India extending support to Israel.

Ironically, the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind’s youth wing leader is calling Hamas a ‘resistance movement’ even when the Hamas terrorists launched a brutal attack on Israeli civilians and killed over 1400 people including children, and raped women. While the SYM leader Suhaib CT justifies Hamas terrorist’s virtual presence in the event in question saying that Hamas is a political party which won 74 out of 132 seats in the 2006 Palestine Legislative Council (PLC) elections, he forgot that just a year later, the same ‘political party’ waged a bloody war against its own rival “Fatah” and seized control of Gaza Strip in 2007.

Meanwhile, Israel’s ambassador to India Naor Gilon has expressed shock over the pro-Hamas event in Mallapuram and said that it’s time to add Hamas to India’s terror list.

“Unbelievable! #HamasTerrorist Khaled Mashal speaks from Qatar in a #Kerala event under the slogan ‘Uproot bulldozer Hindutva & Apartheid Zionism’. Mashal calls participants to: 1. Take the streets and show anger. 2. Prepare for jihad (on Israel). 3. Support Hamas financially. 4. Promote Palestinian narrative on social media. It’s time to add #HamasISIS also to #India’s terror list,” the Israeli ambassador posted on X.
