Reminder: Israel was obeying the 'ceasefire' on October 7, its enemies were not! UPDATED

 

The blank look of AOC and the angry unsmiling face of Ms. Pressley

Ethel C. Fenig - American Thinker  . . ."In Israel itself, thousands of mostly young Israeli Jews, along with some Christians and Muslims and others from around the world, were joyously attending a music festival in the southern part of the tiny country when Total Evil in the form of citizens from neighboring Apartheid Gaza, which is 99% Muslim, (no Jews allowed) descended, brutally slaughtering over 1,100 unarmed attendees and residents of nearby Israeli small villages.  Several hundred they didn't murder were violently taken captive, including babies and young children.   

"But...but...there was a "ceasefire"!  Oh, that!  Only Israelis, only Jews are supposed to obey mutually signed agreements!  In 99% Muslim Gaza, the ruling Hamas set up military bases in hospitals.  In schools.  In residential apartment buildings.  In office buildings, coexisting with reporters from the AP, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Reuters, who dutifully report the news, i.e., propaganda their Hamas rulers tell them.  Or else.
 
"Initially shocked, the Israelis fought back.  While suffering painful losses they are succeeding in neutralizing Hamas.  As a result, there are now Muslim refugees in 99% Muslim Gaza.  And oh so suddenly there are shrieks calling for an Israeli "temporary ceasefire" so these displaced Gazan citizens, who never complained when their husbands, sons, and brothers joined Hamas in their posts in hospitals and schools and other "neutral" institutions, can safely escape to  safe Gazan enclaves. Incidentally, neighboring Muslim-dominated Egypt doesn't want their Muslim neighbors, either.  
 
"And oh, not so by the way, this "ceasefire" is only applicable to Israel;  apparently Gazans can continue their barbarous assault on unarmed Israelis with impunity." . . .

Visually shaken, Jamal Vera, a volunteer with ZAKA, Israel’s leading rescue and recovery unit, describes the horrors he witnessed following the Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians.

Looking at the hugely successful pro-Israel rally in D.C., AFT’s Randi Weingarten beclowns herself -

[Randi Weingarten is] a very powerful woman who has been using her toxic beliefs to control public education for many years and is a strong and profitable ally of the Democrat party.

Andrea Widburg- American Thinker  "Yesterday, almost 300,000 people were in Washington, D.C., to support Israel in its fight against the unrelieved evil that is Hamas. It was such an overwhelming turnout that the Washington Post had no option but to try to bury the story in its print edition lest it give people ideas. But teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten did notice the rally, and she came out with one of the most strikingly ignorant pronouncements imaginable from a Jewish woman who claims to be “deeply religious.”

"The rally was big. Although some potential attendees did not make it to D.C. because antisemitic bus drivers staged a sick-out to prevent them from traveling there, almost 300,000 people did show up to exercise their First Amendment rights. Unlike the pro-Hamas marches that were filled with covert and overt calls for a new Jewish genocide, the pro-Israel rally was distinguished by civility:

. . ."If you know anything at all about Judaism—and, theoretically, someone Jewish would—there are a lot of giveaways that the men in the video above are Orthodox Jews. It’s not just the kippahs or yarmulkes (i.e., skullcaps) they’re wearing. Even less religious Jewish men, along with feminists and lesbians, wear those." . . .

"All of this gets us to Randi Weingarten, a childless lesbian who has a huge impact on your
children. Since 2008, she has headed the American Federation of Teachers, one of America’s most powerful teachers’ unions and an economic mainstay of the Democrat party. She’s also, in her own words, “deeply religious.” To that end, she’s married to a female rabbi and is “a member of Congregation Beth Simchat Torah, a New York synagogue that focuses on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Jews,” where her wife is the “spiritual leader.” . . .

"Incidentally, what is essentially a mockery of Judaism isn’t confined to LGBTQ+ Jews. This is true for all leftist Jews. They are not the People of the Book unless the Book is Marx’s Das Kapital.

"Now that you understand Weingarten’s specific form of “deeply religious” Judaism, you can appreciate the ignorance and stupidity behind her much-derided tweet:"

Cartoonists are Casualties of War Too -

The most outlandish – and unjustified — case of cartoon cancelling happened to the highly respected Steve Bell of the Guardian newspaper in Britain. He was fired after 40 years at the paper, over a cartoon that was never even published. 

 The Cagle Post  "People who like to draw serious political cartoons for a living – people like me – have to be extra careful in these divisive times.

"In just the last month three major newspapers – the Washington Post, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Guardian in Britain – have pulled down or decided not to publish cartoons drawn by the best editorial cartoonists in the world.

"Michael Ramirez, Monte Wolverton and Steve Bell each bravely applied their talents and opinions to the brutal war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas that started Oct. 7.

"For their troubles, they were charged with being Islamophobic, anti-Semitic or racist by readers, their fellow journalists and editorial boards. Bell was even fired." . . .

GOP Lawmaker Demands Salary Reduction For Karine Jean-Pierre For Telling 'Bold-Faced Lies'

With comments:

"Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) introduced an amendment to the financial services and general government appropriations package to reduce White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's salary to one dollar.


"KJP needs to be fired and maybe jailed for her serial lying. In all honesty, all congressmen, senators, and almost all government employees need a significant pay cut for the corruption, lying, and laziness. "

Jean-Pierre’s underwhelming performance has led to concerns about the impact of identity-based hiring and has prompted criticism from various perspectives.

Gavin Newsom admits that, yeah, they cleaned up San Francisco for Xi Jinping's visit -Monica Showalter   "Texts with a friend about the 180 happening in SF for the APEC conference. "Serious question: why is the government willing to do this for international leaders, but not for the hardworking citizens of San Francisco?"




"SAN FRANCISCO, CA — California Governor Gavin Newsom initiated a last-minute cleanup of San Francisco ahead of a visit from China's communist dictator President Xi. He assured all unhoused persons in the area that they may resume their normal practice of sidewalk defecation as soon as his boss has left town.
" 'Please, we need to try and keep the place clean just for a few days while my boss is here," said Newsom in a press conference surrounded by a horde of angry homeless people. "Please don't mess it up for me and President Xi. I really want to impress him. Please hold it in for a couple of days. Just clench or something. After that, you may poop to your heart's content. Thank you."
" 'Please," he added. "If I play my cards right, Xi may even let me become President. This is huge for me.' " . . .

October 7 revealed the new Nazis -9/11 Neo-Cons demand Israel not retaliate

Don Surber (substack.com)

"London has fallen. A Babylon Bee fake headline — “80 Years After Hitler Failed, Nazis Finally Seize London” — lasted only hours on Sunday before it became true as Britain caved to organized anti-Semites.

"The Times of Israel reported, “British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday fired Home Secretary Suella Braverman, days after she accused police of being too lenient with pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel ‘hate marchers.’

“ 'The government said Braverman left her job as part of a Cabinet shuffle as Sunak shakes up his top government team.

“ 'Braverman said ‘it has been the greatest privilege of my life to serve as home secretary,’ adding that she would ‘have more to say in due course.’”

"London indeed has fallen to a group of Muslim invaders let in by the billionaires who installed Sunak, a Hindu, as PM. They seek to destroy from within and they are quite good at erasing history and love of country. Their latest lie is that black people built Stonehenge.

"Americans may laugh all they want but they live in a country where black history has replaced American history in your schools. The big lie now is that blacks freed themselves on June 19, 1865, after the Civil War — which was a white people problem." . . .


The eclipse of America’s greatness

 Clifford C. Nichols - American Thinker

"Please, if you have a moment, I would appreciate it if you would do your best to convince me that I am wrong.  I, as a once proud American, could use the encouragement."

. . ."For instance, today, all those who may oppose the murder of unborn children or the genital mutilation of our children (whom we have allowed to be born) have been clearly advised that they risk being cancel-cultured as transphobic gender bigots.  Those who voice their opposition to the invasion of our nation by hordes of people with no knowledge of, much less any allegiance to, even the little things many of us like to take for granted — like our Constitution — are likely to be portrayed by the “enlightened” among us as white patriarchal former slave-owning racists who must be silenced and removed from any spheres of influence in this nation.  

"It has now even reached the point that we have a president who feels compelled to admonish the nation to avoid Islamophobia as we are committing to a war that for all practical purposes is to defend our ally — i.e., Israel — against an Islamic brotherhood that is presently calling for a worldwide jihad for the eventual annihilation not only of all Jews around the globe, but also all Christians.  Is this not an example of our insanity today?". . .

"PSA: ripping down photos of children being held hostage doesn’t make you a social justice activist. It makes you a rapist, kidnapping, butcherer, ISIS fan girl."

Make her famous:    Do you know this person?

What’s her name? Where does she work? Where does she live? Please identify! Here seem taking down victims info who were kidnapped by Hamas. #gaza #Israel

I believe we may assume she votes Democrat and likes the Squad. And considers Grets Thunberg adorable.


Just When You Thought Hamas’ Savagery Couldn’t Get Any Worse (legalinsurrection.com)   "There is a massive movement online to deny that the massacres happened, or to blame them on Israel for killing their own people. It’s important that we keep documenting these crimes against humanity."

You likely recall one of the first images on October 7 that went viral, an Israeli woman bleeding in the rear end led into a vehicle by terrorist savages. I’ve probably watched that video a dozen or more times. But there’s something in it I didn’t notice, and didn’t get any initial media attention. The woman’s achilles tendon was cleanly lacerated so she couldn’t run.

Republican Fecklessness and Division Is Going to Destroy the Party

 RedState

There's no one across the national Republican Party's vast hierarchy of leadership that shows me competence, discipline, and an ability to unite and lead. Because of that, the results will continue to be predictable. 

"Watching the Republican Party these days is like watching a dog try to attack its own tail. Far from a well-oiled machine, the GOP has devolved into a dysfunctional mess punctuated by moments of fecklessness that push voters further away. 

"The most recent example came as a segment of Republicans joined with Democrats to effectively scuttle an attempt to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. What seemed like an open and shut case over the last few months was punted back to committee because when push comes to shove, the GOP just can't bring itself to take a tough vote and move forward with a unified front. Democrats do that routinely in order to move the ball forward. For Republicans, it's like herding cats strung out on meth. An impossible task. 

"Members of the GOP are scattered, looking after themselves, rarely seeing the forest through the trees. They won't impeach Mayorkas because it might cost a seat in some blue state, but by not impeaching him, they suppress their own voters, leaving to ask what the point of voting Republican even is anymore." . . . 

Yellow-bellied Republicans are killing America - American Thinker   . . ."Time after time they have voted with Democrats against the country’s and the GOP’s best interests.

"This latest death-wish vote was against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a man who has failed so badly in keeping America safe that it’s hard to imagine what difference it would have made if we hung a huge sign over the border crossings, “Terrorists, drug dealers and sex traffickers - welcome to America! Get your free stuff here. Food and lodging included.”

"Republicans lack the killer instinct to win. Congressional Republicans not only have no fire in the belly, they have no brains in their heads. Why else would they be voting with Democrats? They vote against their own agenda, their own conservative ideology, their own chances to Make America Great Again? Why do they do that? Maybe it is because, as Dan Bongino often notes, “Many Republicans are Democrats, but no Democrats are Republicans.' ” . . .

Donald Trump is the pluperfect representative of Republican conservatism, although he is less political than he is grassroots American. He is sharp, bold, brassy, and above all, courageous. He made some mistakes around COVID but in his place, facing an unknowable existential threat, would anyone else have done differently?

With 'Friends' Like These: Meet The Eight 'Republicans' Who Voted To Kill Mayorkas Impeachment Resolution (Video)  "Republicans supposedly hold the majority here in Congress. That’s something you wouldn’t necessarily know, because we sure don’t act like it. We sure do enable Joe Biden. We enable Mayorkas. We enable an open border. We enable an illegal invasion that’s murdering Americans every single day. But we can’t even move for a vote to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. This should be very frustrating to many people.

It’s frustrating to everyone I talk to and this type of lack of will, lack of courage, lack of I don’t even know what. They’re lacking a lot to actually hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable and impeach him is shameful. It’s absolutely shameful.

We finally have control in the House and we cannot move to impeach him. I think you guys know exactly what to do about this. And I’m sure you’re just as upset as I am. And I’m sure you’re just as outraged at why anybody, any Republican, would vote with the Democrats to refer Articles of Impeachment back to committee, where they go to die, and nothing happens to them."

US Jews Should Deploy Ultimate Weapon -

 "Trump junked Obama–Biden’s execrable Iran-nuke deal. Instead, Trump crippled the ayatollahs with a “maximum pressure campaign” of diplomatic and economic sanctions. Tehran’s oil revenues plunged to a trickle. Trump also droned Iranian terror master Qasem Soleimani. Once that uber-Jew killer was blasted into a thousand bits, his bosses got the message and cooled their jets."


The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "How can American Jews signal their revulsion with the Left’s growing anti-Semitism? Starting today: Stop voting Democrat.

"Intellectual Milton Himmelfarb once quipped that “Jews earn like Episcopalians but vote like Puerto Ricans.” Jews should know better. Although they tend to be educated and affluent, Jews typically hand Democrats their votes.

"Dominic Green observed in the June 29 Jewish Chronicle that Jewish voters border on masochism: “Democrats will tax them and use quotas to exclude their children from the best universities.”

"The Jewish Virtual Library chronicles this group’s impact on presidential elections since Democrat Woodrow Wilson defeated Republican Charles Evans Hughes in 1916: “American Jews tend to favor Democratic candidates, with 71% of Jewish voters choosing Democratic candidates on average and 26% choosing Republicans since 1968.”

"Democrats take Jews for granted, as they do blacks and Hispanics. Since Jews overwhelmingly vote for them, Democrats snag their political donations, stiff them frequently, and smack them around occasionally, just to show them who’s their daddy.

"This has remained the case, even after Jews sat atop the world under Republican President Donald J. Trump, the most pro-Israel chief executive since at least Democrat Harry S. Truman.

"Israel and the Jews were safe under Trump, despite the vicious lies about him being anti-Semitic — never mind Trump’s adoring his Orthodox Jewish daughter, Ivanka Kushner; his son-in-law, Jared Kushner; and his Orthodox Jewish grandchildren." . . .Full Article.

The One Question No One Asks the Rabid 'Ceasefire Now' Hysterics, and It Explains Everything – RedState

On Monday evening, yet another "ceasefire now" rally was held by members of Congress. The faces were familiar, with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamaal Bowman, and Ilhan Omar all making speeches.

For their part, the first two decided to pretend they were Jewish because that's apparently where we are now. Remember, cultural appropriation is bad unless it's a "Latinx" acting as if she speaks for Judaism to demand they submit to a terrorist government that invaded Israel and killed over a thousand people. 

As absurd as that was, I was more interested in this comment by Ocasio-Cortez, though.

Isn't she brilliant? You see, all Israel needs to do is formulate a "diplomatic solution." Why didn't anyone think of that before? I mean, it's not like there already was a ceasefire on October 6th before Hamas terrorists decided to paraglide into a music festival to rape, torture, and murder innocent people. 

"That bout of sarcasm brings me to the question none of these rabid "ceasefire now" hysterics are ever asked: Should Hamas remain in power?" . . .


Nazi Revivalism in America - American Thinker   "When Palestinian-American and Democrat Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib posted a video saying from the river to the sea, she was promoting a “rallying cry for the destruction of the State of Israel and genocide of the Jewish people.” This call for Jewish genocide was the same call the Nazis made. It’s disturbing to realize that many pro-Palestinian and, inevitably, antisemitic protesters know nothing about the history of the Jews and Israel. They have no sense that Jews, rather than controlling the world, have been its victims for millennia, enduring an incomparable history of persecution that has led to repetitive bouts of ethnic cleansing, genocide, and racist laws that make Jim Crow seem tame." . . .

Links that Rashida Tlaib and the Squad should see. But won't.

 Canadian-Israeli Peace Activist Vivian Silver Confirmed Murdered by Hamas (causeaction.com)  "The Hamas terrorists were totally indiscriminate in who they killed, murdering peace activists along with Arabs and Muslims."


"The body of Canadian-Israel peace activist Vivian Silver, one of the leaders of the Women Wage Peace organization, was identified on Monday among the dead at Kibbutz Be’eri, more than five weeks after the Hamas terror attack of October 7.

"74-year-old Vivian Silver, the Israeli peace activist and leader of Women Wage Peace, was thought kidnapped in Gaza. They only just identified her body, five weeks after she was killed. Read about her life’s work, and may her memory be a blessing to all."

'WHERE WERE YOU?' IDF reservist calls out 'Squad' members  "Rudy Rochman, reservist for Israeli Defense Forces, tells Todd Piro and Carley Shimkus why younger generations are more sympathetic to Palestinians and describes the fight against Hamas."

Father of Danielle Waldman recalls finding out Hamas killed 24-year-old daughter “I had her location on the GPS, of her phone, it sent us an SOS message of emergency and location,” Mr Waldman told Sky News Australia host Sharri Markson. Mr Waldman explained how he went to the location of where she was killed and found that the car she had been in had “bullet holes all over”. “Eventually we got the word that both Danielle and Noam were identified as murdered on Wednesday morning.”

'Ludicrous': Greta Thunberg's latest rally a 'congregation of the mentally unwell'

She, like Joe Biden, is a simple, pliable tool for the silly left with not a clue who is using her; only that they make over her and celebrate whatever she is supposed to be to them.

 Sky News Australia


"Writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue says she laughed when she saw a video of Greta Thunberg turning a climate rally in Amsterdam into a rally for Palestinians in Gaza. “What we’re looking at there is a congregation of the mentally unwell, which nowadays, every sort of movement devolves into,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “I actually laughed when I saw this, that they were shouting, ‘no climate justice on occupied land’ as if for any reason the concern of many Gazans right now is climate justice from the cloud gods of the IDF. “It’s just ludicrous.”“Because Greta Thunberg’s ideology is so inconsistent and so incoherent as she now founds different things to attach herself to.”.

Nova Festival, Israel. October 7 - YouTube Remembering the lost to Hamas.
"This is a clip from the Nova Festival on October 7: A festival of joy, a festival of peace, a #festival of love...and a festival where #Hamas ruthlessly massacred over 260 innocent civilians and kidnapped countless more. "There are no words to describe this incomprehensible tragedy. "May the memories of the victims forever be a blessing, and may those who have been kidnapped return home safely soon."

Bereaved Israeli Father to Biden, at Son’s Military Funeral: Don’t Pressure Israel to Stop the War

 Breitbart   "JERUSALEM, Israel — Dr. Yechiel Leiter offered a heartfelt plea to U.S. President Joe Biden at his son Moshe’s funeral in the Mount Herzl military cemetery on Sunday: don’t pressure Israel to stop the war against Hamas.

"Maj. (res.) Moshe Yedidyah Leiter was one of four members of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) 551st Brigade’s 697th Battalion who were killed in Gaza by a booby-trapped tunnel on Friday. Thousands of mourners came to his funeral, which lasted several hours.

"His father, a former chief of staff to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is well known throughout the Jewish world, especially in the U.S., where he was born.

"Much of his eulogy was in Hebrew, but he addressed Biden in English:"


"Leiter added that his son had told him, before going to war: “I am carrying on my shoulders my grandfathers and grandmothers… who could not fight back.” He stressed that Jews should be inspired not just by the terrible suffering of October 7, but by the heroism that has followed, even if dozens of Israeli soldiers have already lost their lives in the fight to destroy Hamas." . .
