It’s not Hannity, it is a crochet video.
Go back and look again, not only is it not Hannity, but it's also not a crochet video either. They've plugged something else in there again with an error that says video unavailable. (* CHUCKLE *)
But it worked, they censored what Hannity said.

Israel’s Orwellian nightmare
By Melanie Phillips
21 Adar II 5784 – March 31, 2024
For the Jewish world, these are nightmarish, hallucinatory times. Israel is fighting a hydra-headed genocidal enemy that not only slaughtered 1,200 women, children and men and took more than 240 hostages but intends to repeat such atrocities until Israel is destroyed.
Yet instead of being supported in its attempt to prevent a second holocaust of the Jews, Israel now finds itself demonized. Its overwhelmingly just war of self-defense has been turned into a war crime. The victims of pure evil are themselves depicted as evil and turned into the pariahs of the world.
It’s as if both Nazism and Stalinism, having been defeated in their own countries by the West decades ago, have united to achieve a posthumous victory by brainwashing millions of Westerners with Soviet-style doublespeak and Nazi-style Jew-hatred.
Untold numbers in the West now believe the demonstrable lies being pumped out by Hamas and parroted by its patsies and fellow travelers at the UN, in powerful “human rights” charities and the media.
These lies frame the images of suffering in Gaza that are being relentlessly transmitted on TV and social media. As a result, millions now believe that the Israelis are deliberately starving Gaza’s people by preventing aid from coming in; that they have wantonly killed more than 30,000 civilians who are mostly women and children; and that they are attacking hospitals and causing helpless patients to die.
All of this is, of course, not only false but the very opposite of the truth.
The West Point military expert John Spencer has written that Israel’s opponents are simply erasing Israel’s “remarkable, historic new standard” for warfare.
“By my analysis,” he writes, “Israel has implemented more precautions to prevent civilian harm than any military in history.” It has done so, he says, at considerable cost to its own ability to win the war by telegraphing almost every move ahead of time so civilians can relocate. This nearly always cedes the element of surprise, allowing Hamas to move both its leaders and the hostages to escape IDF detection.
Yet this astonishing IDF record is being studiously ignored while patently obvious lies are believed instead.
Currently, video footage shows plentifully supplied food markets in southern Gaza. Bulletins regularly published by COGAT, Israel’s humanitarian coordinator for Gaza, attest to hundreds of aid trucks regularly crossing into the Strip.
There are problems, however, with distribution by aid agencies within Gaza. These have caused shortages, particularly in the north, with Hamas stealing aid to replenish its own stocks or selling aid on the black market at prohibitively inflated prices.
All these facts are ignored. Instead, Israel is accused of causing “famine” and “starvation.”
Casualty figures put out by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry claim that more than 30,000 civilians have been killed, of whom 70% were women and children. Expert number crunchers say that the most basic analysis shows these figures are bogus.
Abraham Wyner, professor of statistics and data science at the University of Pennsylvania, has written that the daily totals increase too consistently to be real.
An article in Fathom by a population models expert, a bio-mathematician and an international lawyer explains that the Hamas numbers are “statistically impossible,” suggesting that the composition of unregistered deaths has been fabricated to inflate the proportion of women and children who have been killed.
Yet the Hamas figures have been accepted as fact by Western media, politicians and officials, and are constantly repeated.
Then there’s the astonishing situation at Gaza’s Shifa Hospital, where hundreds of combatants have been arrested or killed while firing on Israeli soldiers even from the hospital’s burn and maternity units. Out of 800 total suspects at Shifa, says the IDF, 500 have confirmed ties to Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
The use of hospitals for military purposes is a war crime. The hijack of Shifa by combatants using its patients as human shields and cannon fodder should cause global outrage.
Yet this has been totall
