The world should be on trial in Jerusalem

 Phyllis Chesler Organization  

Israel has the footage and the forensic evidence to make its case. Survivors, as well as witnesses, are plentiful. The indifferent, otherwise occupied or Jew-hating world must be confronted with what they have done. 

Nazi cells in Nuremberg trials

 "After Israel defeats Hamas in Gaza, should it try the Oct. 7 terrorists Eichmann-style in Jerusalem? Or, given Israel’s unfairly tainted reputation, might such a trial be seen as more “impartial” if it were held in Nuremberg?

"Those who believe that the Germans are more trustworthy than the Israelis are deluded. Perhaps they did not live through or study the Holocaust. Likely, they were not even born in 1972 when Palestinian terrorists massacred 11 Israeli Olympic athletes in Munich with the support of neo-Nazi Germans. The murders were enabled by the extraordinary incompetence of the German police.

"The only place a fair and trustworthy trial of Hamas could take place is Jerusalem.

"According to one prominent international lawyer:

“There’s no existing framework for trials against Hamas terrorists or the Hamas terrorist organization in Nuremberg (the closest would be trials with German prosecutors and under German law, which will never happen). There’s no way I can see any agreement for a new tribunal and, in any event, I wouldn’t have great confidence in any such tribunal judging Palestinian terrorists or even being willing to put them on trial. I would like to see fair trials of Hamas terrorists; the only chance of that is in Israel, and even in Israel, there’s a danger it would be too forgiving to the terrorists (depends on the court).”

"But we face an even greater problem: Hamas terrorists, starting with their leader Yahya Sinwar, are not the only ones who should be on trial in Jerusalem and before history.

"With a few blessed exceptions, almost the entire world must be judged for supporting Iran and Qatar’s proxy armies: Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, etc.

"The United Nations belongs on trial. The only thing it has ever done is legalize Jew-hatred. They passed a resolution falsely claiming that Zionism is racism rather than a resolution that accurately stated that anti-Zionism is racism.

"The world professoriate, students, human rights activists and media also belong on trial for having incited the immediate and continuing jackal chorus for a “ceasefire,” which is the equivalent of a call to ethnically cleanse the Holy Land of Jews. Some of them have been on the Iranian and Arab oil payroll for more than 60 years.

"Iran’s leaders must also appear in the dock. The mullahs have indoctrinated, funded and strategized with not only Hamas but also the zombie armies who march for jihad in the West.

Hitler meets the Islamic Mufti of Jerusalem

"Let’s not forget every single Muslim country that has refused to offer safe passage or temporary shelter to Gaza civilians. They also belong on trial. None of them want the Arab Palestinians. They do not want the enormous trouble they will inevitably bring with them. Please note: Such countries, by refusing entry to civilians, make no distinction between the “innocent” civilians of Gaza and the terrorists whose ideology and torture control them.

"A prominent Arab anti-Islamist recently told me: “Egypt let them in and found themselves awash in their own blood. Jordan had to expel them for the same reason. Lebanon? Destroyed by them, weakened so much that Hezbollah just took Lebanon over.”

“ 'So, the Palestinians remain a Jewish burden only, is that it?” I asked.

“ 'Yes,” he said." . . .

Schumer denies Netanyahu request to address Democrats

 Sarah Fortinsky (yahoo.com)   "Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) denied a request from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Senate Democratic caucus in a virtual meeting, arguing against approaching discussions on Israel through a partisan lens.

"Netanyahu, the right-wing Israeli leader, met with Senate Republicans in a closed virtual meeting on Wednesday. A spokesperson for Schumer said in a widely reported statement that the majority leader denied Netanyahu’s similar request for Democrats.

"“Sen. Schumer made it clear that he does not think these discussions should happen in a partisan manner. That’s not helpful to Israel,” Schumer’s spokesperson said.

"Schumer’s rejection of Netanyahu’s proposal comes less than a week after the majority made waves in Washington and abroad when he issued a scathing rebuke of Netanyahu’s leadership and called for a new election.

" 'At this critical juncture, I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decision-making process about the future of Israel, at a time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of their government,” he said. “Holding a new election once the war starts to wind down would give Israelis an opportunity to express their vision for the post-war future.” . . .

Producer Avi Arad Denounces Chuck Schumer’s Speech on Israel: ‘It’s Not Your War’ | Exclusive (yahoo.com)  . . . “It’s not your war. It is not your country. And it is not you who is at risk,” the former Marvel CEO wrote in a letter obtained exclusively by TheWrap. Arad, producer of “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” and the “Venom” films, was responding to the New York politician admonishing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for having “lost his way” in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war while speaking on the Senate floor March 14.

"In addition to accusing Schumer of meddling in another democracy, the letter also said he is making antisemitism worse with his criticism of Israel and his lack of empathy for someone who lives in the country and whose family is actually under terrorist threat.

" '“To say these are difficult times for Jews would be an understatement,” Arad wrote. “And statements like the one you made only make it worse.” . . .

BOOM! Jamie Raskin Fumes After Hunter Biden's Business Partner Attacks Democrats Raskin and Goldman for Lying on Behalf of Biden Crime Family

 The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

"Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski blasted Representatives Jamie Raskin and Don Goldman today in his opening statement before the House Oversight Committee.

"Bobulinski accused Raskin and Goldman of lying to the American public in order to protect the Biden crime family.

"The House Oversight Committee is holding its second hearing today as part of its impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

"Tony Bobulinski did not hold back in his opening statement.

Tony Bobulinski: Yet the same people preaching this mantra know better. They continue to lie directly to the American people without hesitation and remorse. Rep. Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers, and Mr. Goldman, a former prosecutor with the SDNY from New York, will continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media to tell more lies. Hunter Biden’s defense attorney, Abby Lowell, weaponizes letters to Congress to try to smear my name. Mr. Chairman, state the cold, hard facts.

Jami Raskin: Mr. Chairman.

 "Tony Bobulinski: In an attempt to save his powerfully connected client and his father, I challenge Mr. Lowell to make those claims on national television so he can be held accountable for his lies. Prior to my successful business career, I was an officer in the United States Navy at Navy’s elite naval nuclear Power Training Command. I later served as the command’s chief technology officer.

Chairman James Comer: I apologize for the disruption from the…

Tony Bobulinski: Am I supposed to say it’s my time?" . . .

Tony Bobulinski Accuses Hunter Biden, Jim of Lying under Oath about Chinese Dealings | National Review   . . ."Bobulinski cited three examples of alleged perjury from Hunter Biden’s sworn testimony last month, accusing Hunter of lying about: the timeline of his business relationship with CEFC, his father’s interactions with his business associates, and the threatening text he sent a Chinese businessman in which he demanded payment and said he was sitting next to his father.

" 'Hunter Biden gave his transcribed interview to the House Oversight Committee on February 28 and lied throughout his testimony,” Bobulinski said in his written testimony.

"Hunter Biden said his work for CEFC began with a retainer in 2017. However, Bobulinski insists, based on conversations he said he had with Hunter, that the Biden business relationship with CEFC goes back further, possibly to Joe Biden’s time as vice president. 

"Hunter Biden claimed his father never interacted with his son’s business partners and repeatedly denied his father’s involvement in those dealings.  However, Hunter Biden confirmed Joe Biden met Bobulinski and multiple foreign business partners, and spoke to business associates on speakerphone." . . .

 Lieberman: Schumer's Call to Oust Netanyahu 'Outrageous' | Newsmax.com

"Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., meddling in Israeli politics by calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ouster is "outrageous" and out of bounds, according to former Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.

" 'For a U.S. senator, let alone a majority leader, let alone the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in Washington, to tell Israelis that it's time to get rid of [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu], that's outrageous," Lieberman, founder and chair of No Labels, told Sunday's "The Cats Roundtable" on WABC 770 AM-N.Y., according to The Hill.

" 'I can't ever remember anything like it."     

"But it also shows Democrats do not treat Israel as an independent sovereign state like it does other close allies, because no one could imagine Schumer or President Joe Biden calling for the ouster of the British prime minister, Lieberman told host John Catsimatidis.

" 'Oh my God, there'd be outrage all around," Lieberman said.

"Schumer's "major address" to the Senate, claiming Netanyahu has "lost his way," was a "mistake," he added." . . .

Netanyahu Defies Biden, Green Lights Offensive Into Hamas Stronghold | The Daily Caller    "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the green light on Friday for Israel to launch a ground invasion against a Hamas stronghold in south Gaza, despite the Biden administration’s warnings, according to NBC News.

"Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is “preparing for the operational side and for the evacuation of the population” in Rafah, the southernmost region of Gaza bordering Egypt and a hotbed of remaining Hamas terrorists, according to NBC. President Joe Biden said last week that an Israeli operation in Rafah would be crossing a “red line.”

“ 'Israel has no choice but to go into Rafah, where four Hamas battalions and the Gaza-Egypt tunnels that resupply Hamas with weapons are still standing,” Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, previously told the DCNF. “If not, Hamas will emerge victorious and Israel will be vulnerable to more Oct. 7’s as Hamas has threatened.”

"Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and killed over 1,200 civilians and took hundreds of others hostage, prompting the ongoing counteroffensive by the IDF in Gaza." . . .

MUST-SEE VIDEO: Netanyahu concisely describes Israel’s accomplishments, goals, and commitment

  Andrea Widburg- American Thinker

. . ."The contrast between Bibi—focused, forceful, informed—and Biden is staggering. You’ve seen Bibi, above. Now, here’s Biden, the man who is slow-walking ammo to Israel and trying to force a ceasefire on Israel, all in the name of getting votes in Dearborn and other swing state regions:

We had a rescue operation. You know where we rescued two hostages a few weeks ago? You know where they were? Right in the center of Rafah. We did a surgical operation. Brilliant, by the way. 

"Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is the un-Biden. He’s brilliant, articulate, a proven warrior on the battlefield, a proven leader in politics, and a passionate patriot who believes in his country, its people, and its values. The other day, Bibi gave a concise speech explaining why Israel must fight its war, how it’s fighting its war, what it has achieved, what it has yet to achieve, how it’s handling and will handle Gaza’s civilian population, and why anti-Israel news broadcast in America is false (and deliberately so). It was a masterful exposition.

"Here’s the video. Don’t be put off by all the Hebrew writing. Bibi is speaking in English, a language in which he is completely fluent. I’ve also included a transcript at the end of this post:  https://twitter.com/i/status/1769772938754949153

. . .

"Biden’s partner in this slow-walk genocide against Israel is the execrable Justin Trudeau, who is refusing to resupply the arms Israel needs. To put this in context, Trudeau’s government encourages its own citizens to kill themselves rather than get medical care, medical devices, or treatment for mental illness. Trudeau is a one-man death cult, so I guess it’s inevitable that he has Hamas’s back.

"As has been the case for thousands of years, Israel and the Jews stand at the crossroads of geopolitics and morality. As God told Abraham 4,000 years ago, “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee,” and that’s invariably proven true.

"At all places in the world and at all times in history, those who treated Jews badly fared badly. That’s because free societies support Jews (and, by extension, Israel), while corrupt, despotic societies don’t. Whether it’s Spain in the 15th century, Germany in the 1940s, or the Soviet Union throughout the 20th century, when they make the moral and/or geopolitical decision to turn on Jews, they reflect an internal evil that invariably leads to their own decline or destruction."

Israel cannot do 3/4 of the job and leave 1/4 of Hamas active

 Quora    How likely is it that the US will support a military operation in Rafah?  

"US [doesn't] need to support a military operation in Rafah and Israel is not asking for [that].  Biden administration can object to Israel operation in Rafah, but eventually it is Israel's decision to make. Biden administration's acknowledges the need to wipe out Hamas, but because of elections and far left pressure want to avoid it. 

"Israel cannot do 3/4 of the job and leave 1/4 of Hamas active. Hamas is radical fanatic Islamic jihadist terrorist organization who vow to destroy Israel. Hamas will never abandon the violence way, they just want time to recover and rebuild, therefor Israel must annihilate Hamas.

"Israel is committed to prevent radical Islam jihadists power over Gaza."


Here is hoping that Israel can save all the remaining Queen Esthers held hostage in Gaza (and the Jewish boys and men hostages too). But if it is not to be then let us hope that the IDF makes sure Hamas ends up like Haman -- for the sake of all future Queen Esthers.

"March is Women’s History Month and if the historical mistreatment of women is to serve as an important theme then we are obligated to turn our attention to the most mistreated women of them all, of late, and that would be Jewish women. Last October 7, Jewish women were, en masse, brutally raped, sexually tortured, murdered, and mutilated by Hamas. The cruelty inflicted is beyond words but Hamas was not finished. Some of the Jewish women were kidnapped and dragged away to Gaza where the abuse continues. Adding insult to injury, a complicit United Nations seems more intent on covering up the numerous atrocities committed against Jewish women on October 7 than revealing them. Imagine that -- the world cries for justice for women, but not so much if the women are Jewish.

"It just so happens that March is also the month that the Jewish holiday of Purim falls (begins sundown this Saturday). Purim celebrates the survival story of the Jewish people that took place in ancient Persia, the demise of a wicked man named Haman (top adviser to King Ahasuerus and author of the plan to massacre the Jews), and the courage of a Jewish woman who saved her people." . . .

. . ."If Hamas survives, it will rebuild and come back stronger and there will be much more death. Haman had his kill-the-Jews edict, Hamas has its own kill-the-Jews Charter. Hamas and Haman are one and the same. Hamas has been deemed a terrorist organization by the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and many other nations. Wouldn’t the world be a much better place without it?". . .

Too Dumb for Harvard? Lemon's Too Dumb for Twitter

 Ann Coulter (townhall.com)

"So there's loads of "evidence" that affirmative action kills, despite the best efforts of our universities, medical system and media to hide it. Of course, if you mention the evidence, you'll be called a "white supremacist." "See? No evidence."

"Interviewing Elon Musk this week, former CNN host Don Lemon demonstrated the real-life consequences of affirmative action.

"Interestingly enough, Lemon himself is an affirmative action beneficiary who miraculously hung on at CNN despite committing one moronic gaffe after another (maybe he's just got television magic!). The only CNN on-air personality to handle himself worse was Jeffrey Toobin.

"Lemon was baffled by Musk's claim that "if we lower standards for what it takes to become a board-certified surgeon ... then more people will die than if we don't lower the standards, therefore we should not lower the standards."

"This was apparently Lemon's first encounter with the logical sequence known as a "syllogism."

"Lemon's response: "Do you understand how by saying just that standards are being lowered that you're implying that they're being lowered because people are less skilled and less intelligent, and you're talking about people of color?"

"What on Earth do liberals think "affirmative action" is? (And when I say "liberals think," of course, I'm speaking figuratively.)

"Does Lemon understand that when universities fight like wildcats to hide their black students' SAT scores, they are also kind of implying blacks are less skilled and less intelligent?

"Last year, during the part of a multimillion-dollar lawsuit known as "discovery," Harvard University finally coughed up the data. If -- you'll pardon the expression -- "newsman" Lemon had followed the news, he would know precisely how much standards had been lowered for black students." . . .
