Douglas Murray: Biden Flips From Holocaust Speech To Israel Betrayal

 Israel has always been alone; once again she stands alone as her once-faithful ally leaves her just as we left our 20-year ally Afghanistan.

Biden seems not to have learned the lesson of "Never Again" - Douglas Murray the NYP.

Wikipedia • The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.

Muslim Immigrants to French Farmers: ‘We’re Here To Kill The Whites’

  Frontpage Mag "And so . . . 16-year-old Thomas Perotto was stabbed in the heart and the throat, and died."

 How many more thomas-perottos will have to die before the French government comprehends the Muslim threat within?


"Young French farmers from the villages of Saint-Marcellin and Pont-en-Royans organized a “farmers’ ball” on Saturday evening, May 24, held at the Murinais ballroom. It was to have been a night of innocent fun. They had not counted on Muslim immigrants from Saint-Marcellin showing up with mayhem on their minds. Six Muslims came to the hall, and waited outside. When two farmers left the ball, the Muslims attacked them and. began to beat them up. At that point, other farmers streamed out to help defend their fellows, and the Muslims then fled, only to return later with their own reinforcements, and proceeded to attack the now-outnumbered farmers. One of the farmers was repeatedly kicked and punched, and suffered serious injuries to his head, sufficient to incapacitate him fr 13 days. A night of harmless fun turned into a nightmare when Muslims, for no reason other than their hatred of “whites” — that is, indigenous Frenchmen — led them to unleash their unprovoked and savage attack. More on the attack can be found here: “Crépol, continued,” translated from “Crépol, suite,” by Michel Janva, Le Salon Beige, on May 30, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):

A dancing evening, the “Farmers’ Ball,” was organized on Saturday evening in the Murinais village hall by young farmers from Saint-Marcellin and Pont-en-Royans.

A first fight broke out in front of the room between two men who were leaving the evening and half a dozen others who were outside, young people from Saint-Marcellin. As other people came out of the room to help their two friends, their opponents were pushed back and they fled.

But later, they returned with reinforcements, and a second, much more violent brawl broke out, during which the main victim was kicked and punched. This young man was able to leave the hospital during the day but he suffered a serious head injury, his total incapacity for work (ITT) having been set at 13 days.

“They are the same as in Crepol” admits the mayor.

“The attackers wanted to beat up white people,” says a witness.

"This latest attack reminded many French of the attack on November 18, 2023, in the tiny village of Crépol, in the Drôme department, with a population of about 500. Local, farmers had organized an annual “winter ball” attended by many people from the surrounding area. Just as the evening was ending, and people streamed from the hall, a gang of Muslims, armed with knives, arrived at about 1:30 a.m., and began stabbing the French people. Nine people were stabbed with knives, while others were hit with stones and fences. Eight people were treated for shock. 16-year-old Thomas Perotto was stabbed in the heart and the throat, and died. Two others, aged 23 and 28, were treated as “absolute emergencies” while six others were treated for minor injuries. Witnesses said that when the Muslims arrived, they yelled out “we’re here to kill the whites.” And that’s what they tried to do" . . .

Next come the college students with their designer scarves to defend the Muslims who murdered those at the dance. TD

The Mannheim attacks reveal Europe's impotence - Ayaan Hirsi Ali   . . ."Last Friday, at about 11:30am, a 25-year-old Afghan went on a knife spree at a rally in Mannheim. He stabbed Michael Stürzenberger, the convener of the rally, along with a policeman and four others, before a second policeman shot him. Two days later, the officer succumbed to his wounds.

"We still don’t know everything about the incident. What we do know, though, is that it is a deeply sad — and obvious — metaphor for the way Western countries function. People protest Islamic violence. The press smears them. Islamists attack. The state tries to subdue the protestors. The Islamists continue attacking. Rinse and repeat."

What is the cure? It certainly doesn’t involve electing a centre-right government. As the past 14 years in the UK have shown, centre-right governments do nothing. Instead, what is needed is a shift in international and constitutional law, or events like those in Germany will just keep happening until the nations of Europe collapse.

CONFIRMED: 'Journalist' Killed by IDF Held 3 Israeli Hostages in His Home, Wrote for US-Based Nonprofit – RedState   "In the wake of the Israel Defense Forces' successful operation to rescue four hostages from captivity in Gaza we're learning more about the conditions in which the hostages lived and who housed them, and once again we're seeing that the native "journalists" covering the conflict are anything but neutral observers.

As we noted in numerous stories about Israel's rescue mission, the four hostages rescued were not held in tunnels or prisons; they were held in the homes of alleged civilians in residential areas in Nuseirat. I say "alleged civilians" because if these people were holding Israeli hostages for eight months they're absolutely part of Hamas and are combatants, not civilians.

Flag Day, June 14

 

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

What is Flag Day? Why we celebrate it on June 14 (usatoday.com)  "On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the "Stars and Stripes" as the original American flag. The same flag was used when the Declaration of Independence was signed to give a flag for the entire country rather than each state having their own.

"There have been a few notable changes to the flag since its original design in 1777 − namely the addition of 37 stars.

"President Woodrow Wilson made the observance an official day on May 30, 1916 via a presidential proclamation. The day had already been celebrated prior to that point, but he made it an officially recognized day.

Is there mail on Flag Day?

"Yes, Flag Day is not a federal holiday and the United States Post Office will operate as normal. In fact, banks and schools will also remain open." . . .

The World Does Not Want Israel to Win the War Against Hamas UPDATED:

  American Greatness (amgreatness.com) 

This means that Israel’s leaders will need to press on alone to defend their nation against Hamas and other threats until there is a new president in the White House who stands firmly with the Israeli people. Hopefully, that will happen next January. 

  "The daring Israel Defense Forces (IDF) rescue mission on June 8 that freed four Israelis taken hostage by Hamas during its October 7, 2023 terrorist attack against Israel was a pivotal event that should have shifted global opinion about the war in Israel’s favor by illustrating the shocking malevolence of Hamas and how little it values human life.

""Unfortunately, this did not happen.

"The IDF freed four hostages who Hamas was holding in apartment buildings, using the residents as human shields to prevent them from being freed. In addition, so-called “innocent” Palestinian civilians were incarcerating hostages in their apartments, with Hamas reportedly paying them to do so.

"Abdallah Aljamal, a Gaza-based journalist, held three Israeli hostages captive in his home. Aljamal, who was killed in the IDF raid, wrote many stories slamming Israel for human rights violations in the war and killing Palestinians. He also was a spokesman for Hamas.

"Desperate to prevent the hostages from being brought back to Israel by the IDF team, Hamas fighters attacked the team as it left the apartment buildings with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. The IDF team defended itself and Israel was forced to conduct airstrikes to defend the hostage extraction.

"Arnon Zmora, an officer of the IDF’s elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit, was shot and critically injured by Hamas terrorists guarding three of the four hostages.

"This was a great victory for Israel and demonstrated that it will not abandon its people taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. Hamas holding hostages in crowded civilian areas and its ferocious firefight against the IDF rescuers demonstrated how little Hamas values human life and confirmed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s belief that more Palestinian civilian deaths work to his advantage.

"But most of the world saw the IDF raid differently. Israel was criticized for the large number of Palestinian civilian casualties in the raid, even though many were caused by Hamas fighters firing on IDF forces in a civilian area. The mainstream media and Western politicians cited, without question, exaggerated Palestinian casualty figures from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry. U.S. and European media described the raid as a “deadly hostage rescue.” Some Western media outlets tried to downplay the fact that Hamas was engaged in hostage-taking by claiming the hostages had been “released” rather than “freed.” . . .

Give Hamas advance notice of the raid and this is what you will find:



What we've taught in our schools is bearing itself out on our streets

  Washington Times  Not a day care: The devastating consequences of abandoning truth

. . ."Harvard’s original mission statement: “Let every student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life and therefore to lay Christ in the bottom, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning.”


"The week’s news was dominated by the antisemitic protests taking place on college campuses across the nation. Columbia, Yale, Berkeley, Harvard. Over 120 American institutions have reported disruptions to the point that classes have been canceled and police have been called in to restore order.
"So how did we get here? Who caused this mess? The answer is simple. All these childish antics and temper tantrums dominating the headlines can be traced back to one key source: the terrible ideas we have been teaching our children for the past 50 years.
"What we’ve taught in our schools is now bearing itself out in the behavior we see in our streets. As Abraham Lincoln said, “The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will become the philosophy of the government in the next.” Even Hitler understood this when he said, “Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state.”
"What we teach in colleges will be practiced in our culture. Solomon was clear: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart.” The moral to this is that there is great power in ideas and that power can be wielded for either noble or nefarious ends.
"Richard Weaver warned of the same in 1948 when he wrote his seminal work, “Ideas Have Consequences.” His thesis was so simple that you hardly need to read beyond the cover to understand it. Ideas matter. They always bear fruit. There is no such thing as a neutral idea. All ideas are directional. Good ideas bear good culture, good government, good community, good church and good kids. Bad ideas bear the opposite. If you want to live in a good society, you must teach your progeny what is good. It’s like your grandmother said: “Garbage in, garbage out.”
"In my book, “Not a Daycare: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth,” I tell the story of how, in 2015, as a university president, I confronted my students and told them that if they wanted to be coddled rather than confronted, they needed to go someplace else.
"More specifically, I said: “This university is not a ’safe place,’ but rather, a place to learn: to learn that life isn’t about you, but about others; and that the first step in saving the world is to repent of everything that’s wrong with you rather than blame others for everything that’s wrong with them. This is a place where you will quickly learn that you need to grow up. This is not a daycare. This is a university.”
"Education today is in crisis. The Ivory Tower has become the Tower of Babel. It is no longer in the business of pursuing truth but rather is more interested in celebrating tolerance. Ideological fascism now stands on the grave of the academy’s proud tradition of academic freedom.
"Today’s colleges and universities look more like Orwell’s Ministry of Truth than they do institutions of higher learning. We are teaching students to worship their feelings over facts and to parrot the self-refuting nonsense of saying they can’t tolerate those they find intolerable and that they hate hateful people. Good has become evil, and evil is good. The villains are dead Jews who simply wanted to protect their country, and the heroes are those who invaded that country, raped their women and beheaded their babies.
"But lest we think there is no way out of this mess, there is an answer. It is found in returning to and teaching Truth with a capital T. It’s found in those moral laws that have been tested by time, defended by reason, validated by experience, and endowed to us by Revelation." . . .

How the Obama-Biden Machine Intimidated Jews to Hate Trump

 Leo Goldstein - American Thinker 

Of course, the public misinterpreted this as a repudiation of Trump. Democrat activists behind this attack learned that bullying works and escalated it against other targets. That evolved into the infamous “search and destroy” strategy against Trump’s appointees. 

. . ."Begining before Trump’s inauguration as 45th POTUS, hundreds of bomb threats were made against Jewish community centers and schools in the U.S.

"The threats came in five waves: Jan. 9 (three days after the election's certification), Jan. 18 (two days before the inauguration), Jan. 31 (following the travel ban, fueling Big Tech-led insurrection), Feb. 20, and Feb. 28.

"The media unanimously declared that these threats came from white supremacists in the U.S., allegedly emboldened by the election of President Trump.

"The FBI knew that most of the threats were made over the Internet, could have been made from anywhere in the world, and likely came from abroad, but refused to say that officially. In hindsight, this can be linked to the agenda of FBI Director James Comey and his number two, Andrew McCabe. The agenda was to undermine the president whose election they had attempted to prevent and to hide how easy the Obama-Biden administration made it for foreign threat actors to obtain classified info and impact events in the U.S.

"On March 23, the information about the perpetrator of most threats was published, refuting accusations against Trump and “white supremacists.” Almost all threats were made by an autistic 18-year-old, Michael Kadar, living in Israel. He was engaged in criminal activity online from his parents’ home. Among other things, he provided a “service” for making threats over the Internet. His claims of “boredom” as the motive are implausible, given that he did such things for money. Almost certainly, these threats were ordered by somebody who hated Trump." . . .

"The Obama-Biden administration and the Democrat campaign have intimidated prominent Jews against supporting and even associating with Donald Trump in 2016-2017.  Because such intimidation had no precedent in this country, their silence was perceived as agreement with a vocal minority of Trump haters." . . .
