Houston Hotel Cancels U.S. Campaign for Palestine Rights Conference

 

Houston Hotel Cancels U.S. Campaign for Palestine Rights Conference – HotAir


"The Hilton Houston Post Oak was scheduled to host the Seize the Moment US Campaign for Palestinian Rights National Conference later this month. That event has now been cancelled.

"The national conference was to be held from October 27 to October 29. The hotel cites safety concerns for its staff and hotel guests. The conference was meant to “mobilize for liberation”, according to its website. That has a threatening tone to it, given what is going on in Israel right now at the hands of Hamas.

“Hundreds of organizers, activists, students and artists will build across movements in our collective fight for justice. Imagine a liberated future with us, beginning with the demand to end U.S. military funding to Israel once and for all,” the website said.

"There is no room for these Hamas supporters in Texas, he said. “Texas has no room for hate & antisemitism like that supported by Hamas. No location in Texas should host or sponsor USCPR.” They can “Seize the Moment” elsewhere." . . .

Biden Admin Denounces Fellow Democrats Equating Hamas Attack With Israel’s Response - The Political Insider    . . ." President Biden meant it when he said, “This is not about party or politics.”
"On Tuesday, the White House condemned “repugnant” and “disgraceful” comments from members of Congress equating the terrorist attack by Hamas with previous actions taken by Israel. Notably, this rebuttal applies to Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Cori Bush of Missouri.
"'I’ve seen some of those statements this weekend,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told RealClearPolitics, “and we are going to continue to be very clear: We believe they are wrong.”
“ 'Our condemnation belongs squarely with terrorists who have brutally murdered, raped, and kidnapped hundreds of Israelis. There can be no equivocation about that. There are not two sides here,” Jean-Pierre continued." . . .

Biden visits the world

 Biden in Israel: Bad Comments, Zoning Out, and Confusing Wars – RedState

. . ."Biden was also having to field questions about the Gaza hospital explosion. As we reported, now in the light of day, there was more evidence showing it wasn't Israel and questions about the number of people claimed killed.  Meanwhile, the media immediately spread a lot of misinformation based on Hamas' claims, without checking on the facts. 

"But when Biden made some perfunctory comments about that, he had issues. He tried to tell a story about something that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had written for him in the past, but he blanked out right in the middle of the sentence and embarrassingly couldn't remember what he was trying to say. He then said that the evidence indicated it was the "other team." As he said that, he was reading from notes, even for such a short comment and he still had problems. 

"You can see the reading of the notes more clearly in this video." 

 Does the World Really Need To See Joe Biden in Israel Today?    "There used to be an old saying and rule in the American body politic, that criticism of the United States President ended at the nation's shores whenever he left the country to go on an overseas trip.

"That policy, of course, pretty much ended during the Reagan Administration (Republican of course), seeing as he pushed for and instituted policies that successfully defeated the Soviet Union (or what he correctly called the "Evil Empire"). Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot and the policy of criticizing a President died along with the evil empire he helped defeat." . . .


. . ."This was a targeted disinformation campaign that ran its way around the globe, parroted by the largest news outlets, causing violence in multiple countries. That violence is still ongoing, with Western embassies and consulates under attack in Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan, among others. 

"It was all based on a lie told by a terrorist organization. This wasn't a small fudging of the situation either. Hamas completely made up a story about a hospital being leveled by an IAF bombing. The press reported it uncritically for hours, with some claiming people were being "pulled from the rubble." They then made up a story about 500 people being dead. The press also repeated those numbers with zero verification. 

"Where is the accountability? Who is going to lose their job over this? Will there be apologies issued from these news organizations that claim the utmost credibility? Don't hold your breath, but let this be another lesson that you should never blindly believe the mainstream press, especially when there are tell-tale signs that things aren't adding up."

Hospital horsehockey - American Thinker

What garbage -- yet these vaunted media outlets buy into this Hamas "narrative" propaganda hook, line and sinker.

Their antennae ought to be up, actually because Israel has warned civilians to get out of the way since they would be advancing on Hamas. People who blow up hospitals or behead babies in cribs don't do those things.

What's more, the  hard evidence presented by the Israelis pretty well makes it clear that it was a scummy terrorist wannabe group called Palestine Islamic Jihad that did it, incompetently hurling a rocket into a hospital area. The Israeli Defense Forces was not firing missiles anywhere in the vicinity when the incident happened, and the weapons were clearly not moving the way Israeli weapons do.

Universities Slow To Condemn Hamas Were Quick To Issue Statements About George Floyd, January 6  |

I've obtained an email from concerned Jewish alumni at @NorthwesternU, as well as a reply from the school's new president. "Northwestern does not intend to make an institutional statement" about the largest single-day slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.

 The Daily Caller  "Universities across the country that were quick to take stances on events like the death of George Floyd or the January 6 Capitol riot are either refusing to take an institutional stance on the terrorist attacks in Israel or correcting prior statements to explicitly condemn Hamas after facing backlash.

"Northwestern University and Williams College have opted not to take a position on the attacks whereas Harvard, Cornell, Ohio State and Stanford University amended their statements after receiving criticism for not condemning Hamas, a U.S.-designated terror organization. However, these institutions released statements condemning events including Supreme Court decisions, the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 2021 and/or the killing of George Floyd.

"Harvard initially released a statement failing to condemn the terrorists that attacked Israel, according to the Harvard Crimson. The university’s president released an updated response three days after the attacks that did condemn Hamas following community backlash.

"However, Harvard did not hesitate to condemn the Capitol rioters, or Russia for invading Ukraine, issuing statements the day both events occurred.

"Cornell acknowledged that many felt it did not adequately condemn Hamas in its initial Oct. 10 statement on the conflict and put out an updated statement."

Distorted thinking leads to repulsive conclusions in all things, from Antifa to Hamas. TD

In defense of Israel

Pro-Palestinian Activism: Hamas Apologists Tuck Tail and Run at First Sign of Backlash | National Review  "Pro-Palestinian Advocates Reel It In after Backlash, Consequences.
"Last week, we rounded up disappointing reactions to the atrocities in Israel. This week, we’ve seen some of the worst offenders walk back their previous comments under public pressure.
"At least five of the 34 student groups at Harvard University that signed on to a statement explicitly blaming Israel alone for Hamas’s terrorist attacks have since distanced themselves from the statement, the Harvard Crimson reported.
"After initially signing on to a statement from the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee, groups including Amnesty International at Harvard, Harvard College Act on a Dream, the Harvard Undergraduate Nepali Student Association, the Harvard Islamic Society, and Harvard Undergraduate Ghungroo have withdrawn their signatures.
"Meanwhile, Chicago Black Lives Matter apologized for sending out messages “that we aren’t proud of” after the group posted and later deleted a graphic featuring a person paragliding with a Palestinian flag attached to its parachute along with the words “I stand with Palestine.” The graphic was evidently a reference to Hamas terrorists who used parachutes and gliders to enter Israeli communities last weekend during a brutal surprise attack." . . .

"Nevertheless, the usual suspects are doing everything they can to show Israel as the despoiler of women and children. I’ve just grabbed a few screenshots of what the media have on tap as they wage their own war against Israel." . . .

Hamas in their own words

Nothing has changed in the 14 years since this video was released.

This video, a compilation of MEMRI TV clips that aired prior to the 2009 Gaza crisis, includes statements by Hamas leaders calling for the annihilation of Israel and of all Jews, for death to America, and for the Islamic conquest of the world.


Police are looking for woman who celebrated Hamas murders

Hamburg — The statements are so loathsome that they make your blood boil.

A woman — obviously a Muslim — gave a statement to an NDR camera team near the Steindamm at Hamburg’s main train station.

“This is good, very good. I am happy that they (Hamas terrorists) accomplished such a thing. We celebrated at home.”

And as she says this, she laughs and grins. She couldn’t get any more contemptuous. Other respondents with migration backgrounds uttered similar sentiments in front of a rolling camera.

What will politicians do so that these kinds of things will NOT happen on our streets anymore?

Apart from appeals and assertions (“We stand on the side of Israel”), unfortunately not a lot.

. . ."When pathologists gently began to examine, they could see the bodies were those of an adult and a child. And they were hugging tightly". . .

"She said the Hamas terrorists 'went into Israel and they enjoyed slaughtering civilians. This was an unhuman act'. Her job, she explained, was 'working and crying, at the same time'. She wasn't wrong. Dr Bublil was talking to me beside a small, blood-soaked mattress. She picked it up to show me: 'This is a mattress from a baby's bed. You can see the size of this blood stain – which means this baby was bleeding on top of this bed.' "

"There were no more words. She kept trying, but there was nothing else to say. Dazed and desolate, Dr Bublil shuffled across her lab to her colleague, and burst into tears."

Dylan Mulvaney Is The Babylon Bee's Man Of The Year

 Dylan Mulvaney Is The Babylon Bee's Man Of The Year | Babylon Bee


"It is time once again to honor one man who has gone above and beyond to advance the cause of men and raise the bar for what other men seek to accomplish.

"The Babylon Bee has chosen Dylan Mulvaney to receive the 2023 Man of the Year award.

Already a proven force to be reckoned with on the Chinese spy app TikTok, Mulvaney has gone on to make his mark as a celebrity spokesman powerful enough to utterly destroy the reputations of big-name consumer brands. None of them were more notable than Bud Light, the one-time top-selling beer, which hired Mulvaney as its pitchman last spring only to suffer the most precipitous financial freefall in the history of the beer industry. Once thought to be an invincible brand in the beverage world, Bud Light was brought to its knees by the man — the legend — that is Dylan Mulvaney." . . .

Buyer’s Remorse Strikes Americans Who Voted for Biden

  Intellectual Takeout

"Anyone who has ever bought something only to hate it once they got it home is familiar with the concept of buyer’s remorse. Sadly, the regret felt after making a bad purchase also applies to the world of politics.

"The difference is that politicians, once elected, cannot be returned for a refund. And the damage they inflict on their constituents or nation can linger on for years, long after they have left office. Which is why many American voters, when faced with the reality of the Biden Presidency, are now having second thoughts about voting the man into office.

Biden’s fast-sinking ship of state

"Truth to be told, this process actually started fairly early on in his Presidency as shown by a series of Gallup polls, which show that, while Biden did initially enjoy a 56 percent approval rating generally (60 percent among younger voters), support for him quickly dropped so that by March 2022 his overall support had fallen by 14 percentage points to 42 percent. This drop was particularly worrisome in light of the even greater declines seen among some key demographics – namely, Millennials and Gen Z voters (down 19 and 21 percentage points respectively), African-Americans (down 21 points) and Hispanics (down 20 points).

"Since that time, Biden’s approval rating has remained stuck at around the 40 percent mark, even dropping below that recently. While this is close to the level experienced by Presidents Trump and Obama at the same point in their Presidencies, there are a number of red flags unique to Biden. One is the steep decline in support seen among independents – which fell from 61 percent in January 2021 to 39 percent in August 2023. Another is the softness in support from young Hispanics and African-Americans. And then there is the ongoing flight of working-class voters to the Republicans." . . .

Hamas went too far

[Bill Ackman] later tweeted, “Something is profoundly wrong with the state of universities in America when the Palestinian President disavows Hamas while student groups from some of our most prestigious universities support the terrorists.” 
John Cusack, pro-Hamas

 The October 7 atrocities have the American press playing it straight. Sorta.

Just the News reported, “The main Associated Press reporter in Gaza covering the war was suspended from his duties while the wire service looks into his previous social media posts, which include comments calling for the fall of Israel and comparing the world’s only Jewish state to Nazis.

“Issam Adwan has made numerous comments against Israel, which were highlighted last week by Honest Reporting, an Israel media watchdog.

“In an October 2022 post on X, formerly Twitter, Adwan said that Israel was a ‘racist regime that is so similar to the Nazis.’ The post has since been deleted.

“In another post from October 2022, Adwan said: ‘The Palestinian revolt against the Israeli oppression will be a triumph sooner rather than later. No matter how strong or well-supported by the other tyrants, every colonial system will be overthrown.’

“He also reposted a statement from the BDS movement, a group that calls for the end of economic relations with Israel, accusing Israel of poisoning the wells of Palestinians. The trope of poisoning the wells goes back to when Jews were blamed for purposely spreading the Bubonic Plague in the 14th century, according to the American Jewish Committee.”

"14th century?

"I thought jihadists were stuck in the 7th century. Well, that is progress, I suppose.

"But the real progress is by AP, which for years shielded the military intelligence apparatus of Hamas from Israeli bombing by locating AP’s Gaza City bureau there in the Hamas building. Finally, Israel had enough.

"Reuters reported on June 8, 2021, “Israel’s military said on Tuesday that a tower block in Gaza housing the U.S.-based Associated Press which was destroyed in an Israeli air strike was also used by the enclave’s Islamist rulers Hamas as an electronic warfare site." . . .

Your Tax Dollars At Work: Financing Virulent Antisemitism On Campus –

Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

Even children!


. . ."Sen. Marco Rubio had it right when he said: “Across America, college students on federal taxpayer-subsidized student (loans) celebrated the murder of Jews.”

"Many of these students have been radicalized by faculty and staff that your tax dollars are also supporting.

"A report from the AMCHA Initiative, which tracks antisemitism on U.S. college campuses, tell us that “160 academic departments at 120 U.S. colleges and universities issued or endorsed wholly one-sided, anti-Israel statements containing rhetoric that meets the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.”

"It says that these faculty members are “instigating, inspiring, encouraging and modeling the playbook for students to follow.” Recent examples:

  • Last week, a Stanford lecturer made Jews in his class stand in the corner, saying that is like what Jews were doing to Palestinians. Stanford suspended the teacher.
  • University of California Santa Cruz’s Critical Race and Ethnic Studies department issued a statement saying: “What we are witnessing needs to be understood in the context of 75 years of settler colonial displacement, military occupation, and enclosure.”

"Then there’s the army of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” staff members at colleges, who despite their titles are also fueling the hatred of Jews." . . .

Students who called for Jewish slaughter absolutely should pay the price - American Thinker   "A spirited debate broke out between Megyn Kelly and Vivek Ramaswamy and between Kelly and Candace Owens regarding what should happen to the college students who signed letters and took to the streets last week to say that Israelis deserved their rape, torture, murder, and kidnapping and that we should affirmatively support the sadists who target civilians. Kelly thinks that the people who made these statements should find that it affects their futures in seriously negative ways. I agree completely. Ramaswamy and Owens say that they should be cut some slack because all of us have dumb ideas. Both are wrong. However, Owens did make an important point that deserves to be recognized, which is why I’m writing here.

"The trigger for the back and forth was that Vivek Ramaswamy said that companies erred when they said that they would take into account the students’ views when the students came knocking at their doors looking for employment. Kelly rightly blew him out of the water, saying that views as toxic as theirs deserve immediate consequences: . . ."

It’s The Border, Stupid!

 Brian C. Joondeph - American Thinker

Illegal migrants are overwhelming American cities. Even sanctuary city virtue-signaling Democrat officials have had enough, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams saying that the “Migrant crisis will destroy New York City.” He left out the slow destruction of the rest of America.

. . ."Yet we still have a wide-open border. The Biden administration and Democrats want this, replenishing their voter rolls so they don’t have to fabricate as many ballots and votes in future elections. Republicans have done nothing to stop it, beholden to their Chamber of Commerce donors seeking cheap labor.

"When President Trump tried to build a border wall, the GOP-controlled House and Senate, directed by Speaker Paul Ryan, “reneged on a deal to fund the border wall,” according to then-President Trump.

"Fentanyl is also crossing the border, with 110 thousand American overdose deaths in 2022, almost twice the casualties in one year compared to the nearly 20-year American involvement in Vietnam. Fentanyl deaths each year are the equivalent of 35 9/11s.

"Remember the outrage over the actual 9/11? There should be 35 times more, not less, outrage over American deaths due to our nonexistent border.

"Illegal migrants are overwhelming American cities. Even sanctuary city virtue-signaling Democrat officials have had enough, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams saying that the “Migrant crisis will destroy New York City.” He left out the slow destruction of the rest of America." . . .

But after events in Israel last week, the terror threat is a clear and present danger to America. Migrants are unvetted and released into the country. Are those with bad intentions gathering and preparing, ready to kidnap, rape, and brutally murder innocent children and young adults as Hamas did in Israel?
