His first name roughly means “first crop,” which is what first-born son Omer was for Ronen and Orna Neutra 22 years ago. The photos his family shares show a young man bursting with life and possibility, broad smiles at the community center where he volunteered after school, […]
Now this was a message worth sending — and not just to Hamas. In an overnight raid in Rafah, the IDF rescued two male hostages from the grips of the terrorists that kidnapped them while murdering at least 1200 others in one of the most grotesque terror attacks ever. The implications of this raid are […]
Just how ridiculous is the long-awaited Hamas response to the latest Qatari proposal for hostage releases? Even Joe Biden can’t summon much enthusiasm for it. At a presser earlier this afternoon, Biden tried to keep a positive spin, but … Hamas’s response to #Gaza hostage deal ‘a little over the top’ – #President Joe Biden […]

First of all, the Gaza Health Ministry, […]
An understandably bitter declaration, considering everything Mia Schem endured at the hands of Hamas — and its collaborators in Gaza.
