Islam and antisemitism

Endy Zemenides and Sinan Ciddi join Thanos Davelis to break down the significance of both the relaunch of the Congressional Hellenic Israel Alliance caucus and Washington's latest efforts to crack down on the Turkey-Hamas nexus.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution on Friday afternoon calling for an "immediate, durable, and sustained humanitarian truce" between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza. Four EU countries voted against the resolution; Greece and 13 other EU countries abstained. 

There can be no doubt that the Hamas terrorists had been instructed to inflict as much horror on anyone they found before them on October 7, irrespective of who they were.

No one understands terrorism more viscerally than Maoz Inon: His 78-year-old father and 75-year-old mother were among those massacred by Hamas this month in southern Israel.

EU leaders are poised to call for humanitarian corridors in Gaza and for pauses in bombardments into and out of the enclave to enable access for aid, after days of wrangling that highlighted divisions within the bloc over the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The reaction to the attack by Hamas reconfirmed the deepening strategic cooperation between Greece and Israel, which is totally independent of the growing mistrust between Jerusalem and Ankara that makes any rapprochement between the two, at least in the short or medium term, extremely difficult.

That scenario would mean the United States would have to evacuate hundreds of thousands of American nationals from the region.
This means that hundreds of thousands of American citizens would be evacuated from the region, of which about 600,000 are in Israel and Lebanon, the Washington Post said, citing as many as four officials involved in the development of that plan.

Greece's embassy in Lebanon urged all Greek non-residents to leave the country as violence escalates on the Lebanese-Israeli border following the eruption of the war in Gaza.

Four hostages have already been released by Hamas. Two elderly women were returned to Tel Aviv after being abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7. Two other female American citizens were released on Friday. However, dozens of people remain captive to Hamas amid growing calls for their release.

Namely, the video was made by Hamas and it shows two old women sitting while next to them are members of Hamas, armed to the teeth, with their faces completely masked.
Hamas fighters talk to them calmly, most likely assuring them that everything will be fine. They gave them something to eat and drink, talking to them along the way, as if they were sitting at a tea party.
