The War with the Axis of Genocide
Iran, China, Russia, their proxy terror groups, and the radical propagandists who idolize them...
This is the first installment of the new “Axis of Genocide” series at this Zionist Substack, the successor to the “Antisemitism and Culture” series which can be read in two 30-essay collections here and here.
This new series will document and analyze the antisemitic genocidal war waged against Israel by the Hamas terrorist group and its primary supporter, the Islamic regime in Iran. The accomplices in this attempt at a second Holocaust — Vladimir Putin’s criminal-gangster state in Russia and the authoritarian regime in China — will also come in for scrutiny and loud condemnation, as will the non-state actors supporting them, particularly the international Muslim Brotherhood propaganda network, and radical activists of both the far left and the far right.
The hope with this series at this stage is to provide daily news updates and commentary on the war Hamas has chosen to wage against Israel. Ideally that will mean a summary at the end of each day, though often it may become a multi-day report, as with this installment featuring items from both Friday and Saturday morning.
Here are some new facts to start processing.
Friday
First, some very horrific images began circulating as the week concluded. Click here to see graphic photographs of dead children released by the Israeli government. I had intended to include the photos directly in the post, but given how graphic they are, it’s important to give people a warning to prepare themselves first.
As I wrote about on Wednesday and talked about in Thursday’s podcast, Hamas issued calls for violence around the world on Friday. Here was one of the first examples we saw of it:
Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Friday expressed its “deep disappointment” with China’s failure to condemn Hamas shortly before announcing that an Israeli embassy employee had been stabbed in Beijing.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that the employee was in stable condition and that the attack was being investigated. The Chinese police have arrested a suspect, who they say was a foreign worker.
An unconfirmed video on social media appears to depict the Israeli being repeatedly stabbed with a long knife.
The US embassy in China condemned the attack and noted that Hamas leaders have called for Friday to be an international “day of rage,” which has heightened security concerns worldwide, but said it was not aware of any specific threats to US citizens in China.
Here was some encouraging news yesterday:
Hagari added that the military was still focusing its efforts on killing senior Hamas leaders, adding that the vast majority of the estimated 2,500 terrorists who perpetrated the Oct. 7 cross-border raid and massacre of 1,300 Israelis were already dead.
I had hoped to collect more news yesterday but have to confess that I was simply a mess all day, the constant war coverage starting to wear on me, as it continues to do so today.
Saturday
This morning, the Secretary of State saw the same concerns I voiced on Thursday’s podcast, that this could be a fuse lit for a global conflict:
On the third day of his most extensive trip yet to the Middle East, Blinken met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal Bin Farhan in Riyadh as the top American diplomat works with regional U.S. allies to prevent the war between Israel and Hamas from spiraling into a bigger conflict, and help secure the release of hostages kidnapped by the Islamist group.
Blinken also spoke by phone with China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, and asked him to help keep the conflict from spreading, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said. It was the first high-level contact between Washington and Beijing since the Hamas attack and came amid heightened tensions between the two rival powers on a range of issues.
Hard evidence has now been found that Hamas’ atrocities against women and children were an entirely planned, deliberate act:
Israeli officials are currently examining a larger collection of documents that reveal Hamas's systematic gathering of intelligence on kibbutzim bordering Gaza and specific attack plans for each village, with an intentional focus on targeting women and children.
Speaking anonymously due to the ongoing investigation, an IDF official expressed astonishment at the extent of planning behind this mass terrorist attack, stating, "I've never seen this kind of detailed planning” for a mass terror assault.
Here’s a difficult update this morning as the IDF has begun efforts to find hostages:
Israel Defense Forces troops launched “localized” raids into the Gaza Strip on Friday in a bid to locate hostages Hamas kidnapped last weekend.
Soldiers found and recovered the remains of some of the estimated 120 missing.
It now seems to be an open question how much the hostage count will go down, shifting numbers to the deceased column instead.
The conflict is now entering a seemingly paradoxical phase, that as the IDF is calling on Gaza’s residents to flee an oncoming attack against Hamas, issuing clear warnings in leaflets…
The IDF notified the United Nations overnight Thursday that some 1.1 million Palestinians residing north of Wadi Gaza need to leave their homes ahead of an anticipated major ground operation to root out Hamas’s terrorist infrastructure.
On Saturday, the IDF continued to drop leaflets in Gaza urging residents to flee.
“Dear residents, the terrorist organizations began a war against the State of Israel and Gaza City became a battle zone. You must evacuate your home immediately and leave south. For your safety and security, you are not allowed to return home until further notice from the Israel Defense Forces,” read the leaflets.
…Hamas has chosen to stop civilians from leaving:
“Hamas carried out one of the most horrific acts the world has ever seen. We are conducting an effort to evacuate residents to increase our freedom of movement to deepen the damage [to Hamas], to destroy it,” Hagari said.
Hamas is doing its best to prevent residents of northern Gaza from moving to safety; Hagari accused the terrorist group of risking “disaster.”
“The responsibility for what may happen to those who do not evacuate is on Hamas’s head,” he said.
Hamas is relying on the deaths of civilians as currency to try and buy the global community’s sympathies.
One form of human sacrifice yesterday, another tomorrow.
provides a summary of more violence, crime and hate inspired by Hamas’ call for Friday “global mobilization”:All Jewish schools in Amsterdam closed yesterday. Several in New York. Columbia university closed to prevent demonstrations. An Israeli diplomat was stabbed in Beijing. A Jewish teacher stabbed to death in France. In Portugal, a synagogue was vandalized and spray-painted. In Washington DC, a demonstration happened outside the Jewish Museum. Not the Israeli embassy. The Jewish Museum.
Eve has, of course, been observing the arrogance and inhumanity of so-called “progressive” responses to the conflict:
It is frankly amazing that we Jewish people are subjected to a false claim that we are colonialists while white progressives sit around all day trying to dictate how Israelis and Palestinians should try to survive. It is the big football match the progressives have all been waiting for – for years. Like an old firm game: Israel vs Palestine – the battle for biggest humanitarian disaster. It has always been sport for them.
She concludes with the same insight which I’ve come to also:
Anybody who twists this is a liar, an antisemite and a supporter of global genocide on the Jewish people. It is an awfully weird way to learn about who in your life has a moral code, but ignore your instincts are your own peril.
You really don’t know anyone’s true moral character until it comes under the test of a crisis. Will they stand with the victims? Will they justify or downplay the atrocities of the aggressors? Or will they fear taking a side at all, and try and argue for some neutrality, or “both-sidesism” or, maybe worst of all, just offer a shrug of indifference?
The question still remains of what degree the authoritarian Islamic regime in Iran aided in or at least approved this attack. Honestly, while I suspect heavy Iranian involvement, the question seems largely irrelevant. Iran supports Hamas. Full stop. Debating the extent they were involved with this specific attack is a splitting hairs, counting-angels-on-a-head-of-a-pin argument. Doesn’t matter - they’re allies, end of story.
As if this wasn’t fucking clear enough, here’s one of the Islamic regime’s spokesman making explicit their eagerness to escalate the conflict:
Iran’s foreign minister on Saturday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, warning that the war might expand to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah joins the battle, and that would make Israel suffer “a huge earthquake.”
Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.
Israel considers Hezbollah its most serious immediate threat, estimating it has some 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles that can hit anywhere in Israel. The group, which has thousands of battle-hardened fighters who participated in Syria’s 12-year conflict, also has different types of military drones.
And here are the current numbers from the IDF:
• approx. 1300 killed
• 3,526 Israelis hospitalized
• 355 remain in hospital, 95 in serious condition
• estimated 120 Israelis kidnapped by Hamas
But the war is not only happening on the battlefield. There’s also a propaganda fight in the streets and throughout media.
At a pro-Hamas rally going on in London today the protesters are wearing pictures of paragliders, one of the methods the Islamist terrorists used to inflitrate Israel for their pogrom:
Understand with absolute clarity: the days of euphemisms like “pro-Palestinian protests” should be over at this point. These demonstrations and those justifying them are clearly, overtly pro-Hamas.
You know what being “pro-Palestinian” really means? Supporting the Palestinian people by fucking liberating them from the terrorist governments oppressing them too.
Do any of the “progressives” so morally confused about all this need a reminder about how Hamas - just like its ally Iran - executes gay people? I suppose it doesn’t really matter - if beheading babies, raping women, and kidnapping children for use as sex slaves isn’t enough to make a crack in a heart of stone then really nothing will do it.
This collection of news updates began with a warning that the first link featured images of graphic dead bodies. Now it ends it with images of children just as horrifying, which I will include directly in the post:

Great work, as always, David. There is no one more dedicated than you. Praying for all these poor unfortunate souls who stared pure evil in the face and had no choice but to deal with it.
I agree. There are people in the US who want the US to retreat from the world and essentially let it burn. The world needs strong US leadership and US hegemony more than ever right now. The US should strongly support Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan etc.
"You know what being “pro-Palestinian” really means? Supporting the Palestinian people by fucking liberating them from the terrorist governments oppressing them too."
Hamas is the X-Factor, a death cult that is causing all of this. Ever since they took over Gaza they have caused the situation there to get exponentially worse.
The people protesting Israel immediately after many innocent Israelis were killed are antisemitic or horribly misled by their own awful ideology. It makes me sick.
