Tisha B’Av

Euro Nations Reward Hamas for October 7

The Hamas terrorist organization is grateful for France, the U.K. and Canada, by rewarding them for carrying out the October 7 massacre by stating they will recognize a “Palestinian State.” As a senior Hamas official told Al-Jazeera: “The initiative by several countries to recognize a Palestinian state is one of the fruits of October 7. We proved that victory over Israel is not impossible, and our weapons are a symbol of Palestinian dignity.” On today’s Israel Uncensored, Josh Hasten chastises those countries for lacking moral clarity and embolding Hamas through their declarations. Also, a step in the right direction as 4,000 Israelis visit the Temple Mount on Tisha Be’av. Josh says it’s significant for Jews to understand that the fight against evil – Hamas and their friends, isn’t a battle of territory, but a clash of civilizations with Jerusalem at its center. Hamas understands this, and now more and more Jews are waking up to this reality.

1,729 Visit Temple Mount on Tisha B’Av

While many waited for hours in the blistering sun, 1,729 Jews ascended the ramp for a visit to Judaism’s holiest site – the Temple Mount on Tisha B’av, which is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. The Israeli police on instructions from the government flipped-flopped throughout the day, opening and closing Judaism’s holiest site to Jewish visitors. Muslim rioters had positioned themselves at the site, hanging a Hamas banner, and were vocal in opposing the area being opened for Jews. Yet while certainly not a smooth experience, Jews did in fact make it to the Temple Mount to mourn the loss of both Jewish Temples, and yearn for the rebuilding of the third – speedily in our days.
