Four photographers who work for these networks documented the horrors perpetrated by the Hamas terrorists after they broke through the border fence with Israel. They filmed the murder of civilians, the abuse of bodies and the abduction of men and women.

On 27/1, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, as we remember the cruelty unleashed upon our people for simply being Jewish, we also remember it's our duty to stop history from repeating itself.
It's our duty to protect our people: no one else will.

Friedman: On Rosh Hashana, the Torah reading was about Isaac and Ishmael, the fathers of the Jewish and Arab nations, who had a rivalry but reconciled and buried Abraham together. A few days after the Abraham Accords, this moved me profoundly.

The place and the name of the enemy may be different, but the ideology is the same. Hamas wants to annihilate all Jews, just as Hitler did back in the day. Hitler didn't want peace then, and Hamas doesn't want it today.
We cannot let history repeat itself: Never Again is now!
