As Oslo turns 31, the Left must abandon its hatred

  Caroline Glick (jewishworldreview.com)

"Thirty-one years since the left embraced the PLO and hate, it must finally abandon it. Israel's survival depends on it."

"Sept. 13, 1993, was the day Israel's ruling class abandoned Zionism. That day, when then prime minister Yitzhak Rabin stood in the White House Rose Garden and officially recognized the Palestine Liberation Organization —to the rapturous applause of his supporters back home —was the moment Israel's elite collectively abandoned their attachment to their nation.

"The PLO was many things. It was a terrorist organization. It was the architect of modern terrorism, including airline hijacking, kidnapping, the murder of families, the mass murder of children, the assassination of diplomats.

"The PLO trained everyone from Khomeini's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to the Japanese Red Army, the Baader Meinhof Gang and the Black Panthers. It brought terrorists from every ideological line together and forged them into a revolutionary conglomerate united in their desire to destroy the United States, the West, the Jews and their state, Israel.

"The PLO was a political warfare group. It brought genocidal Jew hatred to the West's radical left. It used the media to romanticize barbarous acts of mass murder and brutal torture as it carried them out.

"Through its Western lackies, barely 20 years after the Holocaust the PLO was able to reinstate Jew hatred as a tool for political mobilization and a major cultural force. Through its propaganda operations, the PLO convinced ignorant young people with guilty consciences that their Nazi parents were really victims. Zionism was demonized as a new Nazism —worse than the first one. And in 1975, 30 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the U.N. General Assembly passed Resolution 3374, which designated Zionism a form of racism.

"Zionism is often defined as the Jewish national liberation movement. And that is true enough, but that definition obfuscates more than it reveals. Zionism is simply Judaism.

"Judaism has three foundations —the Torah, the nation of Israel and the land of Israel. There have been centuries of campaigns to forcibly convert the Jews to other faiths, replete with mass burnings of sacred books aimed at wiping out the Torah and annihilating Jews by physically destroying their sacred texts and spiritually capturing them through forced renunciation of their faith." . . .

No One Stops Them--Absolutely No One--Stops Them

 Phyllis Chesler Organization

"The real problem with the "out of control," boundaryless, individual demonstrators and with the surging, "flooding," demonstrations; the large scale looting of stores; the violent, hallucinating mentally ill homeless men on my city streets and on public transportation is this: No one—absolutely no one--stops them.". . .

Show some anger and shake that fist! 

. . ."A sense of personal boundaries in public has frayed. Social etiquette in public is gone. Post-pandemic, many people show up in fairly dressed-down, even disheveled ways when summoned to court; appear at business meetings on zoom, and in person at airports, concerts, and restaurants. Worse: Although there are exceptions, people are so focused on their cellphones, that they do not see each other coming and thus, walk right into others, shove and push each other, take offense.

"Too many people are in a permanent rage--none more so than the pro-Hamas demonstrators who've been "on the job" since 10/7.

"Masked and keffiyeh—wearing pro-terrorist demonstrators have not only blocked traffic in my own fair city, they have also chained or glued themselves to bridges, defaced statues, private residences, restaurants. By now, they are a completely normalized phenomenon.

"No one has stopped them.

"They are everywhere almost all the time: a yelling, chanting, Jew-hating mob, disturbing the city peace, interrupting every holiday and public event, harassing innocent civilians, at work, at homes, and on the streets, but especially harassing Jews: Students of course, but also those who are dressed in visibly Jewish ways--plus Jewish museum directors, Jewish professors, both on campus and at their homes, and as they are dining in known Jewish restaurants.

"This actually just happened a few days ago in Philadelphia at a restaurant, Goldie's, owned by a Jewish businessman. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, described the demonstration as pure "antisemitism."

"The pro-Palestine protestors trespass all boundaries of civility, just as similar Jew-hating groups have been doing for many years in classrooms. They shout down any speaker perceived as a "Zionist," or "pro-America," and try to have him or her harassed right out of their university position.

"The other day, two surgically masked young women interrupted CNN anchor Dana Bash's book reading at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C. One after the other, each woman got very close to Bash, and began screaming at the top of her voice rather hysterically. They were not interested in dialogue. They were there to shame, shock, potentially shut down the event. Here's a little of what they said:" . . .

The Democrat media being Democrats

 


ABC's Linsey Davis admits fact-checking of Trump was because CNN let his statements 'hang' at first debate | Fox News   ..."Davis countered accusations of bias by stating that she and Muir could not catch every misstatement, the Times reported, without noting that none of Harris' incorrect statements received rebukes. 

"Elsewhere in the article, the outlet noted how Davis simply ignored the criticism that she was helping Harris, reporting that she shut off her social media accounts."...


1 vs 3: Trump Had to Debate Kamala and Both of the ABC Moderators   "While the pundits argue over how the candidates performed Tuesday night, NewsBusters can say that the performance of the ABC moderators was abysmal as they forced former President Trump into a three-versus-one fight. The night was filled with contentious moments where the moderators took on Trump with slanted/combative questions and targeted him with six fact-checks, evening inviting Vice President Harris to take part in one. Meanwhile, Harris received ZERO fact-checks.
" 'The first question to Trump came from World News Tonight anchor David Muir, who took Harris’s claims about Trump trade policy as fact and ridiculously asked him if he thought Americans could “afford” a 20 percent “national sales tax” he wasn’t proposing:
The vice president brought up tariffs, you responded. A let's drill down on this because your plan, as what she calls, is essentially a national initial sales tax. Your proposal calls for tariffs, as you pointed out here, on foreign imports across the board. You recently said you might double your plan imposing tariffs up to 20 percent on goods coming into this country. . . .

ABC was obsessed with cheering for Kamala Harris and has given her 100% positive coverage since she entered the race.

 Wacky Moments of Leftist Extremism: The Media's Ultimate Power Trip

UPDATE: The 10 Harris Lies Moderators Let Slide at the ABC Debate (dailysignal.com)   "Presidential debates have often been compared to professional wrestling matches, but the ABC News debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris more closely resembled a handicap match, with Trump taking on three opponents at once: Harris and both moderators.

"As “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir and ABC News Live “Prime” anchor Linsey Davis regularly fact-checked Trump in real time, they allowed Harris to get by with numerous evasions and false statements on such issues as late-term abortions, post-birth executions, government pregnancy monitors, the economy, and haggard canards about “very fine people” at Charlottesville.

"Here are a few of Harris’ misstatements that the ABC News moderators let her get away with." . . .

Animal sacrifices on the rise in Queens with chickens, pigs being tortured in ‘twisted’ rituals

Broc Smith

Matthew Sedacca  "Animal sacrifices are surging in Queens, with chickens, pigs and rats being tortured, mutilated or killed in “twisted” religious rituals in parkland surrounding Jamaica Bay, The Post has learned. 

"In a little over a month, at least nine wounded animals or carcasses have been discovered in the federally-managed Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Broad Channel — including five live pigs with partially severed ears.

"Creatures recovered from the revolting scene also include a near-dead baby rat tied up in a bag with chicken bones; a freshly-decapitated chicken head; a live hen in distress; and a dead dog with its neck snapped." . . .

Journalist travels to Ohio, where more residents corroborate the 'Haitian cat-eating' story... - Revolver News    . . ."Of course, the regime-controlled media did what they do best—quickly jumping into action to claim the Haitian cat-eating story is one big lie. And despite all their resources and contacts, they haven’t bothered to investigate or interview any locals. They’re just toeing the regime line and covering for the failed progressive agenda, as usual.

"Meanwhile, an independent investigative reporter actually did his job, went to Springfield, Ohio, and spoke to residents. He found even more people backing up the story.

"Our good friends at Gateway Pundit are all over this story. They covered the brave independent journalist who actually traveled to Springfield to talk to people on the street—something our worthless mainstream media should have done eons ago.

"Gateway Pundit:  

YouTuber Tyler Oliveira traveled to Springfield, Ohio to investigate the rumors of Haitians eating ducks, geese, and cats.

Tyler, whose YouTube channel has 6.7 million subscribers spent time in Springfield speaking with locals about the Haitian community, and asking them if they know of any Haitians eating dogs or cats.

The answers from the citizens were shocking. Numerous locals accused the Haitians of eating the cats. One man said the cat lady down the street used to have 50 cats and “now she’s lucky if she has five.” . . .

Kamala’s Condescending and Mocking Debate Faces May Be What Voters Remember

 William A. Jacobson (legalinsurrection.com)

"Democrats were “thrilled with her facial expressions, thrilled with how she mocked him visually while he was talking, and that was deliberate. There’s no question that was deliberate—that was part of their plan. I just don’t know how that’s going to play. I don’t think it’s going to play well.”


. . ."Why do Republicans keep going back to their abusers? I think we need a psychological profile, but it’s expected. It’s the norm. This was particularly bad, and it stood in huge contrast to the legitimate job that CNN did back in June for the first debate, but that’s beside the point. We can’t worry about the moderators, though our anger is legitimate—it’s just not enough, because it’s to be expected.

"The other frustration I had was that this was an enormous missed opportunity to show the world, to show tens of millions of people—I don’t know what the final numbers were across all platforms, but clearly in the multiple tens of millions—what a fraud Kamala Harris is. How she’s flip-flopped, how she’s changed her positions, how there’s really nothing to her career.

"And it didn’t come across. The case was not made, and that was extremely frustrating to watch.

"So, it’s not surprising that the snap polling, including by groups that conservatives trust, like Trafalgar, is showing that Harris “won” the debate. And I think that’s true. She was more polished, more prepared; she had her canned barbs. But there’s something strange going on here. While she won the debate, Democrats always come across in snap polling as winning the debates. I saw people sharing on X the history of snap polling after debates with Donald Trump, first with Hillary and then with Biden. In every one of those debates—six in total—clear majorities said that Trump lost the debate. I’m not sure what to read into that.

"So, it was anger at the moderators, frustration that Trump wasn’t making a lot of the points I thought he could have made, but he was being Trump. And I’ve misjudged his appeal to voters and his electoral success so many times, so it is what it is.

"But there’s something else I took away from this—and it’s showing on the screen just to the side of me here. One thing I really noticed throughout was the faces that Harris was making—very condescending, very mocking, very childish, actually. I think that’s the one thing I remember more than anything about the debate." . . .

"I just don’t know how that’s going to play. I don’t think it’s going to play well. I don’t think anybody’s coming out of this feeling warm and fuzzy about Kamala Harris. If her goal was to raise her stature, I don’t think she accomplished that."

Would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh, 58, of Hawaii echoed Harris, Biden’s anti-Trump rhetoric as he backed Dem candidates

NY Post  "The alleged gunman who authorities said targeted former President Trump while he golfed in Florida Sunday afternoon previously declared on social media that “Democracy is on the ballot” this year, and “we cannot lose” — echoing the anti-Trump rhetoric used by Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden. Law enforcement sources identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58. Routh, who has a lengthy criminal record from North Carolina, frequently posted about politics and exclusively donated to Democratic candidates and causes dating back to 2019.

Son of alleged would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh says his dad hates Trump like 'all reasonable people' but he's never owned a gun and wouldn't do anything bats*** crazy    . . ."He said his father hates Trump as 'every reasonable person does.

‘I don't like Trump either,’ the son added.

But he said his dad is not a violent person and couldn't believe his father would target the president.

Shaped and molded by the likes of MSNBC, the media in general including Hollywood, and the bitter, vitriolic speeches of Joe Biden outside Independence Hallat his SOTU in Congress, and at the DNC convention.

Registered Democrat Routh, 58 is in custody after the terrifying incident at Trump International Club almost exactly two months after a separate assassination attempt against Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.  

. . ."According to his oft-updated X feed, Routh went from voting for Trump in 2016 to supporting Tulsi Gabbard in 2020 to demanding Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy form a unity team in 2024.

FEC filings show him donating to everyone from Gabbard to Andrew Yang to Elizabeth Warren to Tom Steyer in the 2020 Democrat primary.

During the George Floyd protests, he was preaching anti-police rhetoric but also used both 'BlackLivesMatter' and 'AllLivesMatter' as a hashtag." . . .

Assassination attempt No. 2 - Don Surber   . . ."But the Australian journo nailed why the scumbag tried to do with his bullet box what Democrats no longer can do at the ballot box. Democrats have demonized and dehumanized Trump in a manner not seen since the days of Lincoln.

Devine wrote:

Last week Kamala Harris falsely accused Trump of calling Nazis “fine people,” promising a “bloodbath,” and being responsible for “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

She and Biden and surrogates constantly exaggerate the J6 Capitol riot and use it to frame Trump as a “threat to democracy.”

Joe Biden has labeled Trump and “MAGA Republicans” as “semi-fascists” and domestic terrorists.

Tim Walz called Trump a “fascist” and “threat to Democracy” who will “put people’s lives in danger.”

On Saturday Democratic Senator Chris Murphy described Trump as “a candidate explicitly running on the promise of political violence.”

In Orwellian fashion they accuse Trump and his supporters of stoking violence, when the evidence is almost all the other way. . . . 



"Kamala Harris owns Afghanistan disaster — and every other Biden catastrophe" NYP

 


Panic setting in among Kamala’s handlers? 

Kamala Harris on the Afghanistan Withdrawal - WSJ    "Kamala Harris is working hard to hide her policy views from the public, but now and then she opens a window on her worldview, and it isn’t reassuring. One example came Monday on the third anniversary of the terrorist bombing at the Kabul airport that killed 13 Americans trying to defend the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan." . . . 

"But if she has any regrets about President Biden’s policy, she isn’t sharing them. “As I have said,” Ms. Harris noted, “President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war.”

"It’s good to know what she thinks, but it doesn’t reflect well on her judgment as a potential Commander in Chief..."

Biden was hellbent on leaving Afghanistan -- ignoring military advice, NATO objections and Afghan pleas: House report (nypost.com)   "President Biden was so hellbent on getting out of Afghanistan that he rebuked any advice to the contrary, ignored the pleas of the Afghan government and disregarded objections from US allies.

"That was the one of the main takeaways from the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s more than two-year investigation into America’s chaotic, deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, according to a blistering report released Sunday.

" 'During his decades-long tenure as a Delaware US senator, eight years as vice president of the United States and nearly four years as president, Mr. Biden has demonstrated distrust of America’s military experts and advisors and has prioritized politics and his personal legacy over America’s national security interests,” the roughly 350-page report asserted." . . .
