[Breitbart] Tom Homan, the man President-elect Donald Trump has named his border czar, is warning liberal Democrat Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and others against attempting to interfere with the ICE agents he will soon be sending to take illegal aliens into custody.
On Tuesday, Wu, who was accused of shutting black residents, including children, out of a community center and sheltering migrants there instead, told her constituents that she intends to “protect our residents” from any efforts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to round up the illegal migrants who will be targeted for repatriation to their home country.
During her address, Wu said that Boston will do everything it can to “protect our residents in every possible way” and added that her city will not be “cooperating with those efforts that actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear and and [sic] having large scale economic impact,” the New York Post reported.
In the wake of her press conference, though, Homan appeared on Fox News and warned Wu and other left-wing officials against violating the law.
Homan told Fox News that if Democrats don’t want to help ICE round up and deport illegals then they should “get the hell out of the way” and let ICE do its job unencumbered.
“If I got to send twice as many resources to that city, that’s what we’re going to do,” he explained. “If they would give us access to the jails, that means less agents to the community. For them pushing back and not letting us in the jail just means more agents are going to be in the community, so they’re hurting themselves.”
But he also had a warning about the legal consequences of preventing ICE from doing its job.
“They need to educate themselves,” Homan said of these recalcitrant officials. “They need to review this: Title 8 U.S.C. § 1324 — read about that and don’t cross that line. Because it is a felony to harbor or conceal an illegal alien from ICE. Read the statute. Don’t cross that line.”
[IsraelTimes] Country previously blacklisted only military wing of Lebanese group; decision comes after police advised government that both groups’ actions qualify as terrorism
New Zealand designated the entirety of Hezbollah as a terrorist entity on Wednesday, in an adjustment to its 2010 decision to list just the military wing.
The decision was made following advice from New Zealand police that cited decades of terrorist activity, most recently the arrest of two Hezbollah-affiliated people who were allegedly planning an attack on a Jewish community in Brazil.
Israel has been engaged in a ground offensive in southern Leb ...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... since early October after it escalated operations against Hezbollah in response to nearly a year of daily rocket and drone attacks targeting northern Israel following the October 7, 2023, Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... attack on Israel.
Wellington also listed Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... ’s Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... rebels as a terrorist group.
According to local reports, the designation came after police advised that the Houthis’ consistent attacks on ships in the Red Sea in the past year constituted terrorist activity.
The Houthis have said they are targeting Israel- and US-related ships in support of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... amid the ongoing Hamas-Israel war in the Paleostinian enclave.
New Zealand is the 30th country to list the entire Hezbollah organization as a terrorist entity.
"It’s very simple. For any organization to be deemed a terrorist organization under New Zealand legislation, we have to have evidence, and we go through a number of tests under our legislation, that the organization has knowingly undertaken terrorist activity," New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said about the designations, adding that this was determined to be the case for Hezbollah and the Houthis.
New Zealand’s decision makes it a criminal offense to carry out property or financial transactions with Hezbollah or the Houthis or provide them with material support. It also freezes any of the organizations’ assets in New Zealand.
Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar welcomed the decision in a post on X.
"I congratulate the government of New Zealand on its decision today to designate Hezbollah and the Houthis (Ansar Allah) as terrorist organizations," he wrote.
In February, New Zealand designated the entirety of Hamas as a terrorist organization, with only the group’s military wing classified as such since 2010.
The decision to expand the designation came as a result of Hamas’s October 7 attack on southern Israel in which murderous Moslems murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 251 hostages, sparking the war in Gaza.
New Zealand said in February that it held the whole of Hamas responsible for the attack, necessitating the expansion of its designation.

[IsraelTimes] Most Democrats reject Bernie Sanders-led resolutions, though size of faction opposed to Israel’s handling of Gaza war up markedly since January vote, underscoring internal divide
Roughly a third of Senate Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away.

They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... voted in favor of three failed bids to block the sale of offensive weapons to Israel in measures that tested the strength of the party’s progressive wing, which has pushed for a harder line against the Jewish state over its prosecution of the war against Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... in Gazoo

Eighteen Democrats voted in favor of blocking the transfer of the $774 sale of tank rounds, 19 Democrats sought to block the $61 million sale of mortar rounds and 17 Democrats tried to stop the $262 sale of joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs).
Every Republican senator present and a majority of the 51-member Democratic caucus rejected all three Joint Resolutions of Disapproval led by progressive Senator Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... , which were known ahead of time to be dead-on-arrival due to bipartisan support for Israel’s offensive against Hamas.
However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... the vote underscored increasing discomfort among Democrats with the IDF campaign in the Strip and the division it has opened up in the party.
A Sanders-backed resolution in January to freeze US aid to Israel if the State Department didn’t produce a report within 30 days on alleged human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... violations by Israel in the Gaza Strip won only 10 Democratic votes, though some senators may have been voting with November’s election in mind.
The Wednesday night votes are unlikely to fully satisfy either side of the debate within the Democratic Party, as more traditionally pro-Israel members maintained their majority, though progressives added several notable members.
Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia, who built relationships with several Israeli politicians during his first term before growing increasingly disillusioned by the Gaza humanitarian crisis, voted to block the sales of tank and mortar rounds.

It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... and Peter Welch.
One Democrat, Wisconsin’s Senator Tammy Baldwin, voted present on all three votes.
The Haaretz daily reported that the resolutions’ supporters were looking to secure 25 votes, while opponents were hoping to hold the progressive camp to 10 to 15 votes.
In a speech ahead of the voting, Sanders detailed the spiraling humanitarian crisis in Gaza, highlighting the tens of thousands of civilian deaths and the increasingly dire conditions of those in Gaza. He cited testimony from the UN and aid organizations claiming that Israel is blocking humanitarian aid from reaching civilians. Israel says it takes steps to avoid harming civilians, while Hamas fights among them, and it has rejected assertions that it is blocking aid to Paleostinians.
The Biden administration lobbied Democrats against supporting the measure, US officials revealed to The Times of Israel on Tuesday, arguing that withholding such weapons from Israel would embolden Israel’s adversaries, that it would not address the humanitarian crisis and robs Israel of what it needs to defend itself.
In a list of 11 talking points sent to Democratic senators, it said, among other things, that providing military equipment to Israel is an investment in Israel’s long-term security, as it faces threats from Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and elsewhere, and that the administration is "working constantly" to improve conditions in Gaza.

[AyPee] The world’s top war-crimes court issued arrest warrants Thursday for the leaders of Israel and Hamas, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with their war that began more than a year ago.
The warrants against Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant focus on allegations Israel has used food as a weapon in its campaign against Hamas in Gaza, a charge Israeli officials deny. Experts have warned that hunger has become widespread across Gaza and may have reached famine levels in the north of the territory, which is under siege by Israeli troops.
The action by the International Criminal Court came as the death toll from Israel’s campaign in Gaza passed 44,000 people, according to local health authorities, who say more than half of those killed were women and children. Their count does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
…or even between real corpses and imaginary ones. And since they are the terrorists in charge, nobody — especially an Ay Pee journalist who probably is also on the Hamas payroll — is going to challenge the official Hamas Health Department numbers.
Netanyahu condemned the arrest warrant against him, saying Israel “rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions” by the court. In a statement released by his office, he said: “There is nothing more just than the war that Israel has been waging in Gaza.”
The decision turns Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects and could further isolate them, as well as complicate efforts to negotiate a cease-fire. But its practical implications could be limited since Israel and its major ally, the United States, are not members of the court.
Israeli leaders, politicians and officials across the spectrum denounced the warrants and the ICC. The new defense minister, Israel Katz, who replaced Gallant earlier this month, said Thursday’s decision is “a moral disgrace, entirely tainted by antisemitism, and drags the international judicial system to an unprecedented low.”
Human rights groups applauded the move.
Of course they did. As a group they are professional Jew-haters instead of mere amateurs.
The warrants against both sides “break through the perception that certain individuals are beyond the reach of the law,” the associate international justice director at Human Rights Watch, Balkees Jarrah, said in a statement.
The decision came six months after ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan requested the warrants.
The court issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’ armed wing, over the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in Gaza. It said it found reasonable grounds to believe Deif was involved in murder, rape, torture and the taking of hostages amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In the Hamas-led attack, militants stormed into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and taking some 250 others hostage. Around 100 Israelis remain captive in Gaza, around a third of them believed to be dead.
Khan withdrew his request for warrants for two other senior Hamas figures, Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, who have both since been killed. Israel says it also killed Deif in an airstrike, but Hamas has never confirmed his death.
The warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant were issued by a three-judge panel in a unanimous decision.
The panel said there were reasonable grounds to believe they “intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival,” including food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said in September that it had submitted two legal briefs challenging the ICC’s jurisdiction and arguing that the court did not provide Israel the opportunity to investigate the allegations itself before requesting the warrants.
The ICC is a court of last resort that only prosecutes cases when domestic law enforcement authorities cannot or will not investigate. Israel is not a member state of the court. The country has struggled to investigate itself in the past, rights groups say.
Despite the warrants, none of the suspects is likely to face judges in The Hague anytime soon. Member countries are required to detain suspects facing a warrant if they set foot on their soil, but the court has no way to enforce that.
Still, the threat of arrest now complicates any travel abroad by Netanyahu and Gallant — including to close allies of Israel, such as France or Britain, said Yuval Shany, an international law expert at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University.
France signaled it could arrest Netanyahu if he came to its territory. Foreign Ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine called it a “complex legal issue” but said France supports the court’s actions.
“Combating impunity is our priority,” he said. “Our response will align with these principles.”
Israel’s opposition leaders fiercely criticized the ICC’s move. Benny Gantz, a retired general and political rival to Netanyahu, said it showed “moral blindness” and was a “shameful stain of historic proportion that will never be forgotten.”
Yair Lapid, another opposition leader, called it a “prize for terror.”
Soon after Israel launched its campaign vowing to destroy Hamas after the October attacks, it announced a total seal on Gaza, vowing not to let in food, water or other supplies. Under U.S. pressure, it began allowing a trickle of humanitarian aid to enter a few weeks later. The campaign has caused heavy destruction across Gaza and driven almost the entire population of 2.3 million people from their homes, leaving most dependent on humanitarian aid to survive.
Israel now says it puts no limit on the amount of supplies into Gaza. Still, the flow of food and other goods is at nearly the lowest levels of the war, and the U.N. and other groups have said Israeli military restrictions are largely to blame, along with widespread lawlessness that has led to theft of aid shipments.
The case at the ICC is separate from another legal battle Israel is waging at the top U.N. court, the International Court of Justice, in which South Africa accuses Israel of genocide, an allegation Israeli leaders staunchly deny.
Lawyers for Israel argued in court that the war in Gaza was a legitimate defense of its people and that it was Hamas militants who were guilty of genocide.

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The United States on Wednesday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution for a ceasefire in Israel's war in Gazoo

The 15-member council voted on a resolution put forward by its 10 non-permanent members in a meeting that called for an ''immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire'' and separately demand the release of hostages.
Only the US voted against, using its veto as a permanent council member to block the resolution.
The draft resolution urged all parties concerned to fulfill their responsibilities under international law, particularly concerning the treatment of detainees, and to ensure the provision of essential services and humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.
Additionally, it called for adherence to international and humanitarian law, with a specific emphasis on the protection of civilians and civilian property.
The resolution also called for the implementation of Security Council Resolution 2735 and reaffirmed that the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) remains a central pillar of the humanitarian response in Gaza.
This marks the latest setback in the Council's efforts to secure a unified response to the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

[IsraelTimes] COGAT, Israel’s civilian coordination agency for the Palestinian territories, says that some 7 tons (7,200 kilograms) of humanitarian aid was delivered to the Gaza Strip today by eight Jordanian Air Force helicopters for the first time.
In a statement, the IDF says that the transfer was carried out as part of Israel’s “effort to increase the volume and routes of aid entering Gaza.”
It says that the aid delivery was comprised of hygiene and sanitation supplies, food, baby formula, medical equipment and 30 different medications.
The Jordanian military says the aid was being delivered to Al-Qarara, an area near Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis, where it would then be handed over to the World Food Programme for distribution.
[IsraelTimes] A court on Tuesday cleared for publication the names of three suspects arrested for firing flares at the prime minister’s home in Caesarea on Saturday night, one of whom is a former senior Navy officer who paused his military reserve duty to protest the government’s judicial overhaul last year.
The Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court named Rear Adm. (res.) Ofer Doron, who was suspended from the Israel Defense Forces in August 2023 in response to his decision to stop performing volunteer reserve duty, as well as longtime anti-government protesters Amir Sadeh and Itai Yafeh, as suspects.
The wife of one of the suspects told Channel 12 news that her husband was arrested by masked officers who came to the house late at night.
"It was terrifying," she was quoted as saying. "Masked men arrested my husband and two others. All three are high-ranking reserve officers. Law-abiding people, who give their hearts and souls to the country. We are simply shocked that people like us are arrested like this, like security criminals."
People like us have been shooting off rockets on a quiet suburban residential street — just like the ones Hamas shoots off, just like the ones used by those monsters hunting Jews in Amsterdam. You could put an eye out with something like that, or blow off hands, or kill someone. This repeated act of terrorism is part of a temper tantrum that has lasted the better part of a quarter century, just because the country is no longer the wholly owned property of the Socialists. In a time of repeated hot wars, people like you have chosen to team up with the enemy of Israel. It’s long past time people like you — the Evil Son of the Haggadah story — were treated exactly like what you are.
All three suspects will remain in detention until at least Thursday over the incident, which drew condemnation from across the political spectrum.
The three told police that they had not intended to fire the flares toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home, according to Channel 12. They reportedly claimed to have fired a test to make sure it would not head in that direction, but said the wind had forced it off course, causing it to land in the yard.
If three high ranking Israeli reserve officers do not account for wind when shooting exploding rockets at Israeli civilians, perhaps they need to be busted back to private and start over, or accepted as so mentally deficient as to be unable to meet the requirements of wearing the uniform.
Nobody was harmed in the incident and no damage was caused, and the Netanyahus were not home at the time.
Were it merely negligence it still would not be ok.
Protesters have held near-weekly demonstrations outside the prime minister’s Caesarea home since the government began its controversial judicial overhaul plan early last year. Since the war in Gazoo

Sources close to the suspects were quoted by Channel 12 as saying that the three had aimed to hold a "closing ceremony" on Saturday for the series of protests, noting that the Netanyahus had not spent time at the Caesarea residence for several months.
"They wanted to end the protests with a symbolic event — nothing more than that," the anonymous sources were quoted as saying.
Vicious liars or brain-dead asses, neither of which deserve to wear the uniform? I know which way I vote, dear Reader.
The Netanyahus’ private home in Caesarea was lightly damaged in a Hezbollah drone attack last month. Following that attack, the government reportedly demanded a NIS 2 million (just over half a million dollars) security upgrade at the estate.
Since then, Netanyahu has been working from a reinforced room on the basement level of the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, rather than from his usual office on a higher floor, in accordance with instructions from security officials, according to Hebrew media reports.
Suspects meticulously planned firing of flares at PM’s house 3 weeks prior. Investigators say men drove by home to check for security cameras, crawled to launch site 200 meters away from house before firing, stayed with local families overnight.
Investigators believe suspects who fired flares at the prime minister’s home in Caesarea over the weekend carefully planned the act over the course of three weeks, according to information cleared for publication by a court on Tuesday.
According to reports on Channel 12, Kan and Israel Hayom, information cleared by the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court and shared with outlets by officials involved in the investigation indicates that four suspects scoped out Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence for security cameras to ensure their movements would go undetected.
Rear Adm. (res.) Ofer Doron, who was named as one of the suspects, was responsible for acquiring dozens of flares, which were expired leftover equipment obtained by anti-government activists, a senior official in police’s Lahav 433 major crimes unit told Channel 12.
Doron, the alleged ringleader, was suspended from the Israel Defense Forces in August 2023 in response to his decision to stop performing volunteer reserve duty. Longtime anti-government protesters Amir Sadeh and Itai Yafeh were also named as suspects, while the fourth suspect’s name has yet to be cleared for publication.
A fourth? How very interesting. The three named being the tip of the spear — is the fourth the beginning of the tail?
The four arrived with their vehicles near the residence, parking on a sidestreet. From there, they headed to their chosen launch site — 200 meters from the residence — in a crouched position to avoid detection, the senior police official said.
Doron then ordered two of the suspects to fire the flare at a 60-degree angle, while he and another suspect recorded a video, the official added.
Officials said that after firing the flares, the four fled in their separate vehicles. After encountering a police car that happened to be in the area, the group dispersed and stayed overnight with local families, before returning to their homes in the morning, according to the Channel 12 report.
