The apathy of the world to the Israeli hostages

“Our Middle East: An Insider’s View” with Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh, Ep. 31

More than three months after Hamas’s “Al-Aqsa Flood” against Israel on Oct. 7, we are witnessing a tidal wave of antisemitic violence in the United States, particularly on college campuses.

Meanwhile, 129 Israeli hostages are still being held in captivity by the terror organization while the world remains silent. Why haven’t the hostages been freed yet? Why haven’t Western and Arab countries put more pressure on Hamas, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization?

Co-hosts Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh discuss this and more on this episode JNS-JCPA’s “Our Middle East” podcast.

Dan Diker is president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and the longtime director of its Counter-Political Warfare Project.
Khaled Abu Toameh is an award winning Arab and Palestinian Affairs journalist formerly with The Jerusalem Post. He is Senior Distinguished Fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a Fellow of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
The memo calls on the party to be aware of “the strategic goal of groypers across the nation” to take over the Republican party from within.
The New York City mayor said that he is “grateful that Leqaa has been released this evening from ICE custody after more than a year in detention for speaking up for Palestinian rights.”
“I hope all the folks from Temple Israel know that we’re praying for them,” the U.S. vice president said. “We’re thinking about them.”
The co-author of the K-12 law told JNS that “this attempt to undermine crucial safety protections for Jewish children at a time when antisemitic hate and violence is rampant and rising is breathtaking.”
The measure has drawn opposition from civil-liberties groups, including the state’s ACLU.

Israel Airports Authority confirmed that the planes were empty and no injuries were reported.
