When people show you who they are, believe them. Hamas and Iran have been quite clear - Hamas in their charter, and Iran on X and everywhere else - that they want all Jews dead. Why does the world pretend they don’t know and don’t see this? Screw the BBC, screw apologists in the Squad and on CNN. (Also MSNBC)

You can’t stand with Israel now if you didn’t stand with them in November of 2020. If you voted for Captain Empathy in 2020, close your mouth.

Specifically this was foreseeable. Was the Afghanistan catastrophe and the hyperinflation and the Ukraine nightmare and etc etc etc all foreseeable? It’s arguable. Maybe not.

But this, like the border crisis, was 100% foreseeable and this was one of the trade offs you made when you removed Trump. This was a cost that you felt was reasonable in order to get rid of Trump. So now you have it.

This is a direct result of Democrat policies sympathetic to the Palestinians and Iran. I spent my life studying the Middle East and fighting in our wars on Islamic terror. I've never understood the support of American Jews' for a party that sells out Israel at every turn. I stand with my friends in Israel and against the enablers of their enemies

I’ve been seeing so much slander against Israel over the past 12 hours. Thank you for showing the other side of the story. I’m praying for Israel. Hamas delenda est.

Thank you Bari. I’m sickened by what’s occurred and honestly enraged at the endless support for terrorist groups who hate Israel.

This attack is the next consequence of the US’s abdication of its world leadership. We cower as the left attacks Western values of democracy and morality and the right says that European wars have nothing to do with us. When the US leaves a vacuum on the world stage, Iran, Russia and China fill it.

Watched that video of the naked corpse of the murdered German tourist in the back of a Hamas truck on display and being defiled by other young Palestinian men shouting "God is great!"

Their God is not great. Their God is Death.

The innocent woman has been identified. What must her family think?

Make no mistake - the Biden Admin is complicit. Not adhering to the Iran sanctions (like they don’t defend the border,) refunding UNWRA (the people who bring you jew-hating textbooks and missiles hiding in their schools) and funding pay for slay in direct contravention of the 2018 Congress passed Taylor Force Act. Joe Biden = Appeasement.

The same people who will call you a literal Nazi for believing in colour-blind policies, sex-based rights, and controlled borders rejoice at this terrorist attack on Israel and the slaughter of Jewish civilians.

"New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America today announced a protest in honor of the attacks."

In honor.... what kind of people are these?

Israel cannot repeat mistakes of the past now. No quarter, no rest for the enemy and they cannot stop until every single enemy is gone. The live feeds are horrific proof that they have no choice.

If Hamas, the Palestinians had laid down their arms and swore to never raise arms against Israel ever again, there would have been peace in our/their life times; if Israel ever laid down their arms there wouldn’t be a single (Jewish) life left in Israel and Israel would cease to exist.

There is no equality here - gloves must come off, Gaza, West Bank, wherever, these satanic murderers need to be eliminated no matter the cost - yes, even if it means "civilians" - perhaps when they realize that their revolt against their oppressors will be necessary to end their loss of life. Are they innocents?, perhaps, but innocents die in war - just ask the innocent Israelis kidnapped, murdered yesterday.

God bless Israel. I pray Netanyahu turns the West Bank into glass and makes those bastards and all who support them think twice before fucking with Israel. Joe Biden and his administration have blood on their hands for turning over $6 billion+ to those murderous mullahs in Iran.

As a gentile and as a person who supports Isreal, I’ve been dumbfounded by Democrat, Jewish politicians hatred of Trump. He has loved and supported Isreal by action, not by platitude. Today’s attack was a direct result of Biden giving $6B to the Iranians rewarding their hostage taking. Trump said this was going to happen. The same media who is going to lie about Isreal is the same media who has lied about Trump and protected the corrupt, cognitively impaired, career politician in the Oval Office.

Excellent reporting as I've come to expect and respect from you, Bari.

I am not Israeli and I am not Palestinian. I’m a typically sheltered American who doesn’t pay much attention to the Middle East. That said, I try to have common sense, so while the Mideast situation is complex and full of nuance, this sort of attack is not. It was wrong, full stop. Hamas just lost any moral high ground they might have gained by helping feed their people, solve problems, etc. They authorized terrorism, so while there will be days in the future to discuss complex Mideast problems, this is not the day.

Israel, you have my sympathy and empathy. This was wrong and should be condemned completely. I hope your people come home soon and safely.
