 Freed Israeli hostage Mia Schem ‘went through holocaust’ in Hamas captivity in Gaza: ‘Everyone over there is a terrorist’
By Social Links for Yaron Steinbuch
Published Dec. 28, 2023, 9:18 a.m. ET

A 21-year-old Israeli-French tattoo artist who was abducted by Hamas has recalled the horrors that she faced in Gaza in her first interview, saying she “went through a holocaust” during her 54 days in captivity.

Mia Schem was asked in a preview clip of an interview with Channel 13 why she decided to open up about her experience at the hands of the terrorists.

“It was important to me to relay the truth about the nature of the people who live in Gaza, who they are truly are and what I experienced there,” the young woman tells journalist Lior Veroslavski in the clip released Thursday.

Veroslavski replies, “It was important to you that the world understands what?”

“That I went through a holocaust,” the former hostage says, matter-of-factly. “Everyone over there is a terrorist.”

Schem adds that after being kidnapped from a musical festival in southern Israel on Oct. 7, she was held by a civilian family in Gaza that was involved with the terror group.

Exclusive: Caroline Glick Warns Israel Perilously Dependent on U.S. Munitions, Biden’s 2-State Plan Would ‘Annihilate’ Israel

Israel has become dangerously dependent on American munitions, according to conservative Middle East analyst and commentator Caroline Glick, who is calling for Israeli self-sufficiency, while slamming the Biden administration’s push for a “hideously anti-Israel” two-state solution policy, declaring it a “plan to annihilate Israel, piece by piece.”

Speaking with Breitbart News on Wednesday, Glick lamented Israel’s current state of reliance on America in terms of military production capacity.

“Right now, we’re pretty much dependent on the United States,” she said. “We have some independent production capabilities, but it’s far from sufficient for our needs during war.”

Glick addressed former President Barack Obama’s $38 billion 10-year aid package to Israel, which includes strict terms and limitations, while mandating all funds be spent on U.S. suppliers by the end of the deal.

“Israel managed to put itself into a position in recent years, clearly since the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) went into force, which essentially and deliberately required her to spend about 95% of the U.S. military assistance in the United States,” she said.

This is disturbing. So in other words, Brandon controls the war between Israel and her enemies; specifically Hamas. If Bibi is not successful, we will be facing a war on our own turf.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Guardian Updates

Summary of the day so far …

It is 5pm in Gaza City and in Tel Aviv. Here are the latest headlines …

Egypt said on Thursday that it had put forward a framework proposal to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip that includes three stages ending with a ceasefire, and said it was awaiting responses on the plan. Egyptian security sources had previously said the proposal included a multi-stage ceasefire involving prisoner releases by Israel and Hamas.

The main focus of fighting is now in central areas, where Israeli forces have ordered civilians out over the past several days as their tanks advance. Tens of thousands of people fleeing the huge Nusseirat, Bureij and Maghazi districts were heading south or west on Thursday into the already overwhelmed city of Deir al-Balah along the Mediterranean coast, crowding into hastily built camps of makeshift tents. Israel’s military campaign and its repeated orders for civilians to evacuate to the south of the Gaza Strip have led to the displacement of 85% of the Palestinian population.

A total of 21,320 Palestinians have been killed and 55,603 injured in Israeli strikes on Gaza since 7 October, the Gaza health ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra said on Thursday. Qidra said 210 Palestinians had been killed in the past 24 hours. The health ministry in Gaza is run by Hamas.

The UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) has said 40% of Gaza’s population was now at risk of famine. The agency said it was distributing flour to families in southern Gaza but there was “simply not enough food”. The schools that it has converted into shelters are four times over capacity.

A UN report published on Thursday deplored what it said was a “rapid deterioration” of human rights in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and urged Israeli authorities to end violence against the Palestinian population there. The office of the UN high commissioner for human rights (OHCHR) said it had recorded mass arbitrary detentions, unlawful detentions, and cases of reported torture and other forms of ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees. It said about 4,785 Palestinians had been detained and 300 killed in the occupied West Bank since 7 October.

One Palestinian has been killed and at least 15 injured in overnight raids by the Israeli military targeting money exchange shops in cities in the occupied West Bank. Israel’s national security minister published an image that he claimed showed items confiscated by Israel. In his message, Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed that “tens of millions of shekels, safes, documents, recording systems and telephones that were intended to finance Hamas terrorism were confiscated”.

The number of Israeli service personnel injured during the war against Hamas has now reached roughly 3,000. That figure includes nearly 900 soldiers wounded since Israel began its ground offensive inside Gaza in late October. More than 160 soldiers have been killed since the ground operation began. It has not been possible for journalists to independently verify the casualty figures being issued during the conflict.

A drone has crashed near a village in the Israel-annexed Golan Heights, Israel’s army has said, after an Iraqi armed group with links to Hamas militants claimed responsibility for an attack in the area. Israeli media reported that a drone probably carrying explosives launched from Syria was shot down late Wednesday evening south of the settlement of Eliad, causing no injuries but some material damage. On Thursday Israel said it had shot down a drone that crossed into its territory from Lebanon.

Israel’s military chief, Herzi Halevi, has said his forces were “at a very high level of readiness” amid escalating Hezbollah attacks from Lebanon.The Israeli war cabinet minister, Benny Gantz, separately said the situation on the country’s northern border “demands change” and the time for diplomacy was running out.

Germany and its EU partners are examining whether they could mount a new maritime mission to protect commercial vessels under threat of attack in the Red Sea, a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Thursday. Yemen’s rebel Houthis have been targeting vessels using the Red Sea and Suez canal route in order, they say, to target shipping with links to Israel

Improper munition said cause of high death toll in strike on Gaza’s Maghazi
Times of Israel, Dec 28, 2023

An Israel Defense Forces strike that killed dozens of people in the Maghazi camp in the center of the Gaza Strip earlier this week was carried out using improper ordnance, a military official told the Kan public broadcaster on Thursday.

“The type of munition did not match the nature of the attack, causing extensive collateral damage that could have been avoided,” the official said.

The army said later Thursday that it “regretted the harm” to noncombatants in the incident, saying the strike had targeted Hamas operatives but caused unexpected harm to Gazans who were not involved.

According to Hamas-run health authorities in Gaza, 68 people were killed in the strike in the Maghazi camp, east of Deir al-Balah, in the center of the Strip, late Sunday. The toll cannot be verified and could include Hamas fighters. Associated Press journalists at a nearby hospital said they watched frantic Palestinians carry the dead, including a baby, and the wounded following the strike.

In response to the Kan report on Thursday, an IDF spokesperson said the air force attacked “several Hamas operatives” at two adjacent locations. It said “steps were taken” ahead of the attack to minimize the harm to noncombatants.” Its initial investigation showed that “additional buildings were struck… in a way that apparently led to the unexpected harming of noncombatants.” The IDF said the incident was being investigated further.

Human rights situation rapidly deteriorating in West Bank, U.N. agency says

Israel launched more raids Thursday inside the West Bank, where a new U.N. report finds that the human rights situation there has “deteriorated rapidly” since Oct. 7.

The Israel Defense Forces said that authorities launched operations in the West Bank against people suspected of financing Hamas, arresting 21 people and confiscating money and documents. The IDF also said it attacked a group of militants in Jenin who “fired at our forces.” The Palestinian Monetary Authority condemned the raids, saying in a statement that they undermined the Palestinian banking sector and violated international law.

Official Palestinian news agency Wafa said that one person was killed and 14 others injured in confrontations with Israeli forces in the center of Ramallah, the de facto capital of the occupied territory. The day before, Palestinian health authorities said six people were shot dead in Tulkarm.

The escalation in violence since Oct. 7 brings the total number of those killed in the West Bank to at least 300, including 79 children, according to a report published by the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on Wednesday.

In that period, Israeli forces killed at least 292 Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, it found; Israeli settlers killed eight people, while a further two were killed either by forces or settlers. Three Israeli service members and one civilian have been killed in the West Bank since Oct. 7, it added. The report said that violence in the West Bank was at its highest levels since the United Nations began keeping records in 2005.

At a news conference Thursday, Tal Heinrich, a spokeswoman for the Israeli prime minister’s office, said the report “belittles the major security threats to Israelis” and said Israeli operations in the West Bank were targeting militants intent on destroying Israel.

"Our forces are operating in [the West Bank] to keep that front as quiet as possible despite the many challenges that we have there,” she said.

UN report calls on Israel to ‘end unlawful killings’ in West Bank
The Hill, Dec 28, 2023

A United Nations report published Thursday details the “rapidly deteriorating human rights situation” in the West Bank and called on Israel to end the “unlawful killings” against Palestinians.

The report, published by the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), called for an “immediate end to the use of military weapons and means during law enforcement operations” and an end to the “arbitrary detention and ill-treatment of Palestinians.”

The report found that from Oct. 7 — when Hamas invaded Israel in a surprise attack — until Wednesday, there were 291 Palestinian deaths in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, by the Israel security forces. A majority of the deaths were men, but at least 79 children have been killed in the West Bank.

At least 105 deaths were recorded during Israeli law enforcement operations using airstrikes or other military tactics, and 201 were recorded during law enforcement operations or confrontations not involving an exchange of fire, the report said.

There were nearly 5,000 arrests that were “regularly accompanied” by physical, psychological and sexual abuse.

According to The Associated Press, more than 500,00 Israelis live in settlements built in the occupied West Bank. The U.N. report found settlers “took advantage of the permissive environment” after Oct. 7 “to accelerate displacement” and violence against Palestinian communities and expand Israeli control.

NYTimes: Hamas Tortured, Raped Israeli Women at Several Sites in October 7 Attack

The New York Times published a lengthy and disturbing summary on Thursday of the evidence gathered thus far supporting the accusations that Hamas terrorists raped and mutilated many Israeli women during the terror attack of October 7. Hamas also murdered about 1,200 people, and took about 240 hostages to Gaza.

As Breitbart News has noted, evidence of the rapes has thus far relied on eyewitness testimony of people who saw what happened, as well as people who found or examined bodies of victims.

Forensic evidence more typical of criminal investigations — such as DNA samples — were not collected, because the Israeli military was focused on the ongoing fight against Hamas terrorists inside Israel, and because bodies were buried swiftly in accordance with Jewish law.

The Times article reports — apparently for the first time — that there are four living survivors of the rapes, including three women and one man, but they have been too disturbed by their experiences to cooperate with police.

The Times notes:

    A two-month investigation by The Times uncovered painful new details, establishing that the attacks against women were not isolated events but part of a broader pattern of gender-based violence on Oct. 7.

    Relying on video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers and rape counselors, The Times identified at least seven locations where Israeli women and girls appear to have been sexually assaulted or mutilated.

    Four witnesses described in graphic detail seeing women raped and killed at two different places along Route 232, the same highway where Ms. [Gal] Abdush’s half-naked body was found sprawled on the road at a third location.

    And The Times interviewed several soldiers and volunteer medics who together described finding more than 30 bodies of women and girls in and around the rave site and in two kibbutzim in a similar state as Ms. Abdush’s — legs spread, clothes torn off, signs of abuse in their genital areas.

Biden Has ‘Frustrating’ Call With Netanyahu Over Withheld Palestinian Authority Funds
Tense phone call comes amid reports of growing rift between the two leaders as calls for a ceasefire mount
Published 12/28/23 11:55 PM ET|Updated 2 hr ago
Aneeta Mathur-Ashton

President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a difficult phone conversation last week over Israel’s decision to withhold part of the tax revenue it collects for the Palestinian Authority.

Axios was the first to report the news after two U.S. and Israeli officials and a source with knowledge of the issue revealed the tense conversation. 

A U.S. official said the 45-minute call, which took place last Saturday, was one of the hardest and most "frustrating" conversations the two leaders have had since the beginning of Israel’s ground operation in Gaza following the Hamas attack Oct. 7.

The tax revenues Israel collects for the Palestinian Authority as part of an agreement is a critical source of funds for the government body which oversees portions of the West Bank, and is already suffering from a financial crisis.

Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich decided in October to suspend payment of the funds after the Hamas attack. The Israeli government said later it would turn over the money, except for the funds that go to Hamas-run Gaza.

But the Palestinian Authority refused to accept the partial payment.

IDF shows media a Hamas tunnel, where holes drop several metres deeper to other parts of the network
Sky correspondent Nicola Johnston has visited several Gaza tunnels over the years, but these were crude in comparison to the one the IDF showed her in the north.

Hamas has always had a reputation for having some of the best underground tunnels of any militia.

In a media tour arranged by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) into Gaza, one of the most impressive examples the Israeli military has discovered was on full display.

The entrance was just inside Gaza, only a few hundred metres from the Erez border crossing with Israel, where there was a gaping hole in the sand.

Mia Shem opens up about Gaza captivity: ‘Everyone there is a terrorist’
"It's important to me to reveal the truth about the people who live in Gaza, about who they really are," Shem says in a preview of an interview.
 
(December 28, 2023 / JNS)
In her first television interview since being released from Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip four weeks ago, Israeli Mia Shem opens up about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Palestinian residents of the coastal enclave.

“It’s important to me to reveal the truth about the people who live in Gaza, about who they really are,” Shem says in a preview of an interview with Israel’s Channel 13 News, set to air on Thursday evening.

“I went through a Shoah,” Shem told the broadcaster, adding: “Everyone there [in Gaza] is a terrorist.

“Entire families are under Hamas. I realized I was staying with a family. I started to ask myself, why am I in a family home? Why are there children here? Why is there a wife here?” she explained.

Second American held hostage by Hamas confirmed dead in Gaza
Last week, Kibbutz Nir Oz announced Haggai's husband, Gad, also an Israeli American, was dead
By Lawrence Richard Fox News
Published December 28, 2023 11:01am EST
 
Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reports on the latest as the Israeli military continues offensive across the Gaza Strip on 'Special Report.'

A second American being held hostage by Hamas in the Gaza Strip has died, Fox News has learned.

Judi Weinstein Haggai and her husband, both Israeli Americans in their 70s, were shot and taken hostage from their community of Kibbutz Nir when Hamas-led forces mounted a deadly terror attack on Israeli communities on Oct. 7. They disappeared in the fields surrounding Kibbutz Nir Oz early that Saturday morning and had not been heard from since.

On Thursday, the community announced that Haggai was dead. She was one of eight Americans being held captive by Hamas in Gaza.


The announcement comes just a week after the community said Haggai's husband, Gad, had died. He was the first American hostage to die in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

UN report calls on Israel to ‘end unlawful killings’ in West Bank
The Hill, Dec 28, 2023

Let me know when the UN decides to call on Hamas for ending the unlawful killings in Israel.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Biden Has ‘Frustrating’ Call With Netanyahu Over Withheld Palestinian Authority Funds
Tense phone call comes amid reports of growing rift between the two leaders as calls for a ceasefire mount

President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a difficult phone conversation last week over Israel’s decision to withhold part of the tax revenue it collects for the Palestinian Authority.

This is the same money that the PA uses to pay the families of suicide bombers.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Israel needs to ignore the Biden Idiocracy and destroy Gaza in its entirety. 

And nothing less than kill everything in its path.  Any other policy is pure idiocy, something the Biden Idiocracy is superb at doing.

I just can't believe we have 5 more years of this fool with the fixed election of 2024.  The big questions is, once they blatantly fix it again, do the American people rise up or remain complacent?  I say complacent, regardless of how blatant the cheating is!

You think we have had inflation with the first three years, just wait.

A Hamas tunnel shaft was found inside a mosque in Gaza.

You think this is a surprise?  They end in Gaza neighborhoods, mosques, schools, hospitals, parks....  and in Israel, itself.   

The tunnels, built over at least 12 years, are so extensive, estimated at hundreds of miles long, that Israelis call them the Gaza Metro.

The only surprise is Netanyahu and his security forces have looked the other way since 2009.

According to the officials, Biden asked Netanyahu to accept a proposal that the Israeli prime minister raised himself several weeks ago: to transfer the withheld tax revenues to Norway for safekeeping until an arrangement can be found that will assuage Israel's concerns that the funds could reach Hamas.

A U.S. official said Netanyahu backtracked and said he doesn't think this is a good idea anymore.  He told Biden he doesn't trust the Norwegians,
