Important Takeaways:
- The Long Red Shadow Behind Islamic Terrorism
- Decades of communist subversion by China underlie the terror currently witnessed in the Middle East.
- Try searching for “Israel” on China’s biggest search engine Baidu—the nation’s name is no longer on the map, although the names of its major cities are still there.
- The discovery, which caught many in China by surprise on Oct. 30, is the latest twist in a calculated silence by the regime in Beijing, in contrast to other major world powers that have rushed to Israel’s side.
- Positioning itself as a mediator and advocate for peace, the regime has criticized Israel for going too far in its counterattack against Hamas.
- Miles Yu, a China policy adviser at the U.S. State Department during the Trump administration, told The Epoch Times…Beijing’s reticence is little more than a facade. Far from being the peace advocate that it asserts to be, he said, the regime is “giddy about all the crises elsewhere in the world” that divert attention away from its own ambitions.
- Iran hasn’t been shy in demonstrating its support for Hamas. The regime cheered the rampage as a “historic victory,”
- It provides about $100 million annually to Palestinian groups such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, according to a State Department report from 2020.
- “The spider in the web is Iran—had it not been for Iran, then Hamas wouldn’t exist,” Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, spokesperson for Israel Defense Forces
- But overemphasis on Iran misses the point.
- “China is the ultimate enabler of the Iranian terrorist-sponsoring regime,” Mr. Yu said. “Indirectly, China is responsible for this crisis.”
- China has forged close ties with Iran to counter U.S. influence in the Middle East. Besides being Iran’s biggest trade partner for 10 consecutive years, China in March helped to mend ties between Saudi Arabia and Iran at a time when Israel was seeking to restore relations with Riyadh.
- Eyal Pinko, a retired Israeli navy commander, said it’s “obvious” to him that China, Iran, and Hamas are part of “one gang.”
- “Even in the nuclear program, Iran is involved with China,” he told The Epoch Times. “Their cooperation is definitely strategic and very tight.”
- With the United States increasingly focused on Ukraine and Israel, the CCP has an opening to expand its wings elsewhere, solidifying an anti-Western coalition that could fulfill its pursuit of a new world order.
- “Just watch. Whoever is the biggest benefactor, that’s probably the instigator behind the scenes,” she said.
- A new “axis of evil” is already “quite apparent” between China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea, Cheng Chin-mo, an expert on international relations at Taiwan’s Tamkang University, told The Epoch Times. To the communist regime in China, the rule of thumb is simple, he says.
- “As long as you are against America, you are my friend. This is their bottom line.”
- “We’re getting closer and closer to a World War III scenario,” Mr. Loudon said. “Will it go over the edge? I hope not, but that’s what we should be looking at here.”

Important Takeaways:
- France and the European Union Are No Friends of Israel
- At the recent European Summit in Brussels, the heads of state and government did not make the call for “humanitarian pauses” conditional on the release of the Israeli and foreign hostages held in Gaza by Hamas.
- Thirty-five French citizens were murdered by Hamas on October 7, and nine others are being held hostage (among approximately 230 hostages), but France wants to provide aid to those who are holding them?
- Unsurprisingly, according to reports, Hamas has been hoarding the food and medicine intended for the suffering people of Gaza… Cement for “rebuilding Gaza” has instead been diverted to building attack tunnels, and water pipes from the European Union are made into rockets. Hamas has also reportedly hoarded food, water, medicine and fuel, with the fuel being used in their rockets.
- Central, however are the hostages. Their release will not be facilitated by a ceasefire or humanitarian corridors; quite the contrary. France and the European Union should have made their aid to Gaza conditional on the hostages’ release, and stated that no “humanitarian” aid will be provided until Hamas releases them. Hamas has created this situation, not Israel.

Important Takeaways:
- Israeli Tanks Roll Deep Into Gaza As The Entire World Braces For More Escalation
- On Monday, Israeli tanks rolled even deeper into Gaza…
- Israeli troops and tanks attacked Gaza’s main northern city from both sides on Monday, three days after they began a major ground offensive in the Palestinian enclave that has stirred more international appeals for civilians to be protected.
- Israel’s military said it had struck more than 600 militant targets over the past few days as it expanded ground operations in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian civilians are in dire need of fuel, food and clean water as the war enters its fourth week.
- At this point, the IDF has already taken control of one of the main roads that connects the northern part of Gaza with the southern part…
- Apparently, the goal is to completely “encircle Gaza City”, and if that happens it will be game over for Hamas…
- Israel is signaling its intent to encircle Gaza City with tank and ground units – a significant challenge given its size of 18 square miles with a pre-conflict population of over 650,000 people. In total some 1.1 million people live in the northern half of the Strip.
- Recent reports have estimated that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have defied Israel’s order to flee south. By Saturday the IDF had utilized open spaces like the beach to quickly allow tank units to plunge two miles deep into the Strip.
- Once they are fully encircled, there will be no way out for Hamas fighters, and IDF troops will steadily tighten their grip.
- Allies of Hamas all over the world are screaming for a ceasefire, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making it abundantly clear that there will not be one…
- “I want to make clear Israel’s position regarding the ceasefire. Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, or after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7,” he said.
- Netanyahu ominously stated
- “The Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war.”

Important Takeaways:
- Rashida Tlaib’s alleged links to the Hamas terror organization – report
- Palestinian-American Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has been an outspoken supporter of the Palestinian cause. However, her alleged connections to the Hamas terrorist group have only recently been uncovered, according to the Canary Mission.
- In an article it published on October 25, the mission, a group dedicated to fighting antisemitism in the United States, claims that Tlaib has extensive funds tied to the Hamas terrorist group.
- The group states that Tlaib used the Facebook group PAC-USA (Palestinian American Congress-USA), for her congressional campaign. This group, Canary said, shared pro-terrorism, antisemitic, and Nazi propaganda content. The group no longer exists but had over 12,000 members in June 2020.
- Moreover, Tlaib allegedly hired the founder of the group as the chairman of her campaign’s Finance Committee. This position is said to have enabled the founder to promote 12 fundraisers across eight different states. The nature of these fundraisers was not described.
- Additionally, the mission claims that Tlaib founded the group Black4Palestine, an organization that they describe as an “anti-American, anti-Israel and pro-terror hate group.” The group allegedly works alongside the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in the United States
- The group Tlaib founded has apparently posted in support of registered terrorist organizations more than 100 times.
- Canary Mission claimed that Tlaib has links to at least three Hamas-linked activists, whom she employed to fundraise for her 2018 election campaign. One of the three known employees has spent eight months in prison for his connections to the terrorist organization, the group claimed.
- The three fundraisers named were Salah Sarsour, Rafiq Jaber, and Abdelbaset Hamayel.
- Sarsour, who was jailed for being connected with Hamas in 1995, co-hosted an event with Tlaib in 2018. The group shared an archived link showing Sarsour’s name appearing on an event flyer.
- Speaking with the Canary Mission: Why does Tlaib’s connections with Hamas hold significance?
- “Hamas is a terrorist organization that committed the worst atrocity on Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas has the same genocidal goal as Adolf Hitler – the annihilation of the Jewish people. Failure to condemn Hamas is no different than a failure to condemn Nazi Germany,” the Mission told The Jerusalem Post.

Important Takeaways:
- Oil prices could reach ‘uncharted waters’ if the Israel-Hamas war escalates, the World Bank says
- The World Bank reported on Monday that oil prices could be pushed into “uncharted waters” if the violence between Israel and Hamas intensifies, which could result in increased food prices worldwide.
- The World Bank’s Commodity Markets Outlook found that while the effects on oil prices should be limited if the conflict doesn’t widen, the outlook “would darken quickly if the conflict were to escalate.”
- And the threat of escalation looms. Israeli tanks and infantry pushed into Gaza over the weekend as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a “second stage” in the war. Hamas officials have called for more regional assistance from allies, including Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
- The World Bank report simulates three scenarios for the global oil supply in the event of a small, medium or large disruption.
- Effects should be limited if the conflict doesn’t widen in a “small disruption” scenario — as oil prices are expected to decline from current levels of roughly $90 a barrel to an average of $81 a barrel next year, the World Bank estimates.
- But during a “medium disruption” — equivalent to the disruptions experienced during the Iraq war — the global oil supply of about 100 million barrels a day would decline by 3 million to 5 million barrels per day, driving oil prices up possibly by 35%.
- In a “large disruption” scenario — comparable to the Arab oil embargo of 1973 — the global oil supply would shrink by 6 million to 8 million barrels per day and prices could go up by 56% to 75%, or to $140 to $157 a barrel, according to the report.
- Indermit Gill, the World Bank’s chief economist, said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has already had disruptive effects on the global economy “that persist to this day.”
- “If the conflict were to escalate, the global economy would face a dual energy shock for the first time in decades — not just from the war in Ukraine but also from the Middle East,” Gill said.

Important Takeaways:
- 7,000 pro-Palestinian protesters take over Brooklyn Bridge, call for elimination of Jewish state: ‘By any means’
- At least 7,000 pro-Palestinian protesters shut down the Brooklyn Bridge during a march through the borough Saturday, openly cheering Hamas terrorists’ barbaric attacks on Israel — and justifying the murders of innocent mothers and babies.
- “Freedom by any means, land back by any means,” declared Dorian, a 24-year-old protester from Queens, during the three-mile Flood Brooklyn for Gaza march, which began at 3 p.m. in front of the Brooklyn Museum in Crown Heights, not far from the Hasidic Lubavitcher headquarters on Eastern Parkway, where a Sabbath festival was being held.
- “I believe the settler state of Israel must be taken down,” he said.

Important Takeaways:
- Iranian Foreign Minister Arrives in New York, Praises Hamas as Legitimate ‘Resistance Group’
- Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian arrived in New York on Thursday to attend a session of the U.N. General Assembly.
- Amirabdollahian praised the terrorists of Hamas as a lawful and legitimate “resistance group” to reporters and delivered a belligerent speech to the U.N., threatening dire consequences for the United States and Israel if the Israelis continue their assault on Hamas in Gaza.
- Amirabdollahian told reporters outside U.N. headquarters that Hamas has the right under “international law” to perpetrate whatever atrocities it desires because it is a “liberation movement” whose territory has been “occupied” by Israel.
- “Therefore, whatever concerning the action of the resistance groups and Palestinian liberation groups in confronting the occupation is completely rooted in international law and the United Nations Charter,” he said.
- Amirabdollahian went on to deliver a menacing address to the U.N. in which he said the United States will suffer if Israel continues its operation in Gaza.
- “I say frankly to the American statesmen, who are now managing the genocide in Palestine, that we do not welcome expansion of the war in the region. But if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire,” he declared.
- Amirabdollahian claimed the Hamas terrorists told their patrons in Iran they are ready to release some of the 220-plus hostages they kidnapped on October 7 – but the Iranian foreign minister said they should hold out until the world community presses for Israel to release 6,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange.
- Amirabdollahian will reportedly meet with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres before the U.N. General Assembly votes Friday on a resolution to demand a ceasefire in Gaza.
- Guterres himself is under fire for comments on Wednesday that suggested the Hamas sneak attack was justified by Palestinian grievances against Israel

Important Takeaways:
- North Korea accuses Israel of ‘genocide’ in Gaza, labels US an ‘accomplice’
- North Korean media accused Israel of responsibility for the recent explosion near al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip.
- “What should not be overlooked is that Israel’s such criminal act was openly committed under the undisguised patronage of the U.S.,” a North Korean foreign ministry spokesperson told state media outlet Korean Central News Agency.
- “Immediately after the bombing of the hospital by Israel, the U.S. covered such crime, making absurd sophism that the incident seemed to be committed by other forces rather than Israel,” the North Korean spokesperson continued. “This shows that the U.S. is an accomplice who connived at and fostered Israel’s genocide.”
- Russia has boasted similar rhetoric to North Korea, blaming U.S. interventionism for the terrorism and violence plaguing the region.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un have significantly strengthened relations between the countries — most recently with a rare diplomatic envoy from the hermit kingdom.

Important Takeaways:
- Is It Just A Coincidence That The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse Are The Same Colors As The Palestinian Flag?
- If you go to Revelation chapter 6, you will find that the colors of the horses that the four horsemen of the apocalypse are riding are white, red, black and “pale”. But the ancient Greek word that is translated as “pale” in Revelation 6:8 is more commonly translated as “green”. In fact, the other three times that “khlōros” is found in the New Testament it is translated as “green” in the King James Version. So if the most accurate translation of “khlōros” in Revelation 6:8 is “green”, that would give us horses that are white, red, black and “green”, and it turns out that those are the exact same four colors that we find on the Palestinian flag.
- Of course I do not believe that Revelation chapter 6 is talking about the Palestinians.
- But I do think that this is a really weird “coincidence”.
- And it has also been pointed out that these four colors are used on flags throughout the entire Islamic world.
- There is no going back to the way that things were before.
- The IDF will be going into Gaza, and the goal will be to completely and utterly destroy Hamas.
- In response, Hezbollah and other Iranians proxies will enter the fight, and then we will see the apocalyptic war in the Middle East that I have been warning my readers about.
- We really are living in a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, and the death and destruction that this war will cause will greatly shock the entire world.
