Some in Congress still refuse to condemn Hamas. And Iranian spies still permeate the highest levels of the U.S. government.

Pray for Israel. Pray for the Jewish people. Be safe, be strong, be vigilant. Stand with Israel, and demand the Congress do the same. Read on. — Mat

Khaled Mashal was the Hamas chief from 2014 to 2017, building strong support among Palestinians during his bloody reign in Gaza. In 2021, Mashal was elected head of Hamas’ diaspora (Arabs living outside the Middle East), expanding his already large support worldwide.

Wednesday evening, Mashal ordered Arabs around the world to “take to the streets” in a global protest against Israel. But Mashal is not proposing a protest of flag waving and messaging shouted over megaphones. Mashal called for bloodshed worldwide, beginning TODAY, October 13.

“To all scholars who teach jihad,” Mashal said in a video posted to social media, “to all who teach and learn, this is a moment for the application [of jihad].” Mashal declared Friday, October 13, “Al-Aqsa Flood Friday.”

Al-Aqsa is the name of the mosque compound that occupies the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which includes the “Western Wall” — the only remaining wall of the Second Jewish temple. For Jews and Christians alike, this location is among the most significant and awe-inspiring places on earth.

And now a call to unimaginable worldwide terror has been issued named after the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Shortly after Mashal posted his hateful rhetoric via social media, Hamas issued a formal statement, instructing “our Palestinian people, the masses of the Arab and Islamic world, and free people worldwide” in its “declaration of mobilization.”

Many news reports indicate that the jihad is not just to be enacted against Jews but against Christians as well and all who support Israel.

For days, Hamas soldiers have posted videos to social media celebrating the beheading of babies, the butchering of children and elderly in their beds, and the burning alive of entire Jewish families in their homes. Proud of their evil acts, these monsters have posted graphic videos so disturbing I can hardly describe them to you.

Since the Hamas attacks began, pro-Palestine groups and individuals around the world have publicly cheered Hamas’ terror campaign. Protesters in London declared that Israeli Jews deserved what they got. In Sydney, Australia, thousands chanted, “Gas the Jews!”

Black Lives Matter and several American university groups, including those at Harvard and Columbia, posted graphics of machine-gun-toting paragliders (like those used to attack the Israeli peace festival) emblazoned with the words “I stand with Palestine.”

House Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) “smirked” Wednesday when reporters asked if she supports Hamas’ actions, and she refused to condemn the organization for its massacre of Jews. Even when asked to condemn the beheading of at least 40 babies in one village alone, Tlaib refused.

Rep. Tlaib is a leader of what is known as “the Squad” on Capitol Hill. Founded in 2019, the “pro-Palestine” group members are Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Cori Bush (D-MO), Greg Casar (D-TX), Summer Lee (D-PA), and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).

Not even one of these above-mentioned members of Congress have condemned Hamas’ actions OR the group’s plans for worldwide jihad today.

Given the shocking support for Hamas’s sick actions here and abroad, it is imperative that Congress take IMMEDIATE action.

1. Issue a joint resolution to send a message around the world that America stands with Israel.
2. Issue a joint resolution CONDEMNING Iran as well as the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists they trained and armed for this massacre.
3. Sanction Iran to the fullest extent possible.
4. Make it clear to any regime that if they attack Israel, they will become OUR enemy as well.

Please fax Congress now and sign our petition. Tell Congress to STAND WITH ISRAEL AND AGAINST IRAN-SPONSORED TERRORISM.

Please pray for Israel and her people. Pray just as hard for the sickeningly misguided and hardened hearts celebrating Hamas’ terror campaign. And join me in demanding that Congress takes bold action and makes a strong statement NOW, so that the horrors of such a Holocaust may never happen again.
