Westerners must understand the undiluted savagery of the Gazastinians

 Westerners must understand the undiluted savagery of the Gazastinians  

. . .On the camera’s livestream, Barad watched three types of Gazans pass by his house: uniformed Hamas commandos carrying automatic weapons, RPGs, and grenades; casually dressed gunmen; and ordinary-looking men, women, and children. Barad said the ordinary Gazans vastly outnumbered the armed terrorists. He estimated that he saw at least a dozen children, who were between the ages of 10 and 15, and 30 women from Gaza. {snip]

“I can say with 100 percent certainty that [the women and kids] were not just innocent bystanders or looters. They were part of the massacre. They were part of the horrors that we endured that day.” . . .

Gaza preschoolers stage mock killing of Israeli soldier | The Times of Israel  "Children at a Gaza preschool linked to a Palestinian terrorist organization recently held a graduation ceremony in which the preschoolers wore military uniforms and brandished toy machine guns as they performed a mock hostage-taking and killing of an Israeli solider, a media watchdog group said.

"Footage of the May ceremony at the Al-Hoda preschool showed the children clad in Islamic Jihad fatigues storming an Israeli building on “Al-Quds Street,” capturing a classmate dressed in traditional ultra-Orthodox Jewish garb and killing another dressed in an IDF uniform.

"After the hostage is whisked off stage and the soldier is laying prone on the ground, one of the children displays a sign that says “Israel has fallen” in both Arabic and Hebrew. The five-minute performance is set to loud explosions and gunfire.

"After the performance, several children in military uniforms armed with toy guns return to the stage to demonstrate military formations while an address by late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat plays in the background." . . .

It is not a contradiction to be a Muslim and a murderer, even a mass murderer. That is one reason why criminals “convert” to Islam in prison. They don’t convert at all; they remain the same angry judgmental vicious beings they always have been. They simply add “religious” diatribes to their personal invective.

Is there no limit to the stupidity of the Mal-educated Antifa generation

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: The Pseudo-Intellectuals Have Been Caught With Their Pants Down (americanpigeon.org)

It is hard to accuse a nation of subjecting Arabs to apartheid when it allows for Arabic political parties and a Muslim sitting on the nation’s supreme court. Opportunities for full citizenship and participation in society aren’t exactly the markers of an apartheid regime. 

"The American political landscape often resembles a circus. The public is inundated with news headlines concerning the latest showdown in the House of Representatives, what school district sanctioned a bizarre drag show performance for second graders, or what utterly crackpotted thing Lindsey Graham said on Fox News this week.

"Every so often, however, there comes a moment of clarity—a test, if you will. In those moments, clear examples of good and evil will present themselves, and sane and rational people will be distinguished from those who do away with basic human decency in the name of shortsighted pseudo-intellectual exercises.

"Hamas’ surprise terrorist attack on Israel last weekend has been one of those moments. In both videos and pictures circulating on social media, people all over the world saw the unfettered barbarism carried out against innocent Israeli civilians. Hamas terrorists attacked Israel with the sole intention of killing as many civilians as they could. They slaughtered parents while their children watched, paraded the dead bodies of Israelis in the streets, and kidnapped children.

"The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has persisted for more than a century, and one would like to think that regardless of where one stands in the end—whether they support Israel or Palestine—we can all at least agree that the intentional targeting of civilians is objectively wrong. 

"Apparently, we can’t even come to that agreement. To the horror of many, left-wing groups—most notably pro-Palestinian student organizations on college campuses—have attempted to rationalize the terrorism of Hamas, dubbing it “Palestinian resistance” elicited by the “colonization” of land that ultimately belongs to Palestinians by Israeli “settlers.”

"A group of student pro-Palestinian organizations at Harvard recently signed a joint-statement holding the “Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” the Harvard Crimson reported. In another more blatant expression pro-Hamas sentiment was from Cornell Professor Russell Rickford, who, while speaking at a pro-Palestinian protest, called the terrorist attacks “exhilarating” and “energizing,” praising Hamas for its “challenge to the monopoly of violence.” More than 1,500 dead Israelis later, it is hard to see what “monopoly” Rickford is speaking of." . . .

Mark Levin delivers a warning for Israel and for America about Antony Blinken -

  Andrea Widburg; American Thinker

Although many have forgotten, Blinken worked as Deputy Secretary of State for Obama. Already then, Sen. John McCain knew that Blinken was a dangerous man whose foreign policy was invariably antithetical to the well-being of America and her allies. 

"Antony Blinken, our current Secretary of State, appears to be an unimpressive man. My most vivid memory of him is of him being excoriated by a Chinese official and sitting there and taking it. Blinken is also a genetically Jewish person who likes to talk about the fact that he is related by blood or marriage to people who survived the Holocaust. More significantly, though, Blinken is a leftist, and that is his true faith. That faith explains why, as Mark Levin writes, Blinken’s allegiance isn’t to America’s security or the survival of the world’s only Jewish state. Instead, he’s all in for Iran and its satellites, including the violent, blood-thirsty people who call themselves “Palestinians.”

"Yesterday, Mark Levin posted a very long tweet in which he called out Blinken’s long-standing hostility to Israel and his continued allegiance to Obama’s plan to raise up Iran as the most powerful nation in the Middle East. Iran, of course, has been at war with America since 1979, openly announces its plans for the mass genocide of Jews inside and outside of Israel, and foments and pays for most of the world’s anti-Western, anti-Christian, and anti-Jewish terrorism.

"Here’s the tweet, along with my somewhat simpler version of the very densely packed ideas Levin includes within it: '. . .

. . ."Ultimately, Blinken is on board with Obama’s vision of a Middle Eastern realignment, one that sees Iran—anti-American, genocidal, antisemitic, anti-Christian, homophobic, misogynistic Iran—as America’s biggest ally and the dominant force in the region. This Harvard-educated leftist who, like George Soros, hauls out the Holocaust whenever he’s attacked but whose behavior reveals a deep and abiding hatred of the Jewish people, is a danger to the Middle East and America. He embraces the enemies of Western civilization and turns his back on America’s allies and all behind a deceptively meek exterior that implies a powerless figure.

The Ugly Face of Antisemitism Is Female UPDATED, Nov 19.

Updated Nov 19

  RedState

 You need not look any further than this past week's TikTok trend of praising Osama bin Laden. What do those pushing this nonsense have in common? They are young. They are female. They are brutally ignorant.

"We can't dance around this issue any longer: When it comes to antisemitism in the Western world, the face is wretchedly ugly and, in large part, female. It starts in the halls of Congress and oozes its insidious way onto college campuses and fills city streets. Too many women loathe Jews and support Hamas, and they need to be shamed for it. It is ignorant, it is evil ... and it is the antithesis of feminism.

"Rashida Tlaib, of course, distinguishes herself when it comes to Jew hatred; her smug face is the very embodiment of the dangerous "From the river to sea" slur that calls for the extermination of Israel and its Jewish citizens. Yes, she was finally censured for her hatred, but she's still there in Congress, and it seems like only a matter of time before she's running through its halls screaming, "Allahu Akbar!" You know she would do it, if she thought she could get away with it. 

"Tlaib is a known enemy of our country, but it would be foolish to think she and her fellow Hamas Caucus members are just part of a small minority of women pushing the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel rhetoric. We've seen all-too-many instances in recent weeks of women, mini-Tlaibs whose faces are twisted with self-righteous rage, tearing down posters of Israeli hostages -- many of whom are young women who, in a different life, might be their friends -- and chanting loudly at pro-Hamas marches. 

"You've seen them all over social media in the weeks since the October 7 massacre in Israel. They are self-righteously indignant. They are proud of being caught red-handed. They, in all likelihood, have no idea why they're doing what they're doing, and they probably don't care."...

"I know, that isn’t exactly a news flash. But has there ever been more definitive proof than the silence of most feminists in the face of Gaza’s brutal assault on Israeli women? Caroline McCaughey writes in the New York Sun:" . . .

. . .Another was of 23-year-old German national, Shani Louk, whose partially clothed, contorted body in the back of a pickup truck led to speculation she was already dead. The Israeli government later confirmed she was beheaded. A third video showed Hamas terrorists dragging a 19-year-old Israeli, Na’ama Levy, out of a Jeep in Gaza, her arms tied behind her back, blood pooling between the legs of her gray sweatpants. . . 

. . ."I think the mistake is to believe that there has been, for the last several decades, anything good or well-intentioned about the feminist movement. It has always served the interests of a thin slice of upper-middle-class women, while denigrating and opposing the interests of the large majority of women in America and other Western countries. As to the great mass of the world’s women, whose problems even in peacetime are far removed from those of the Upper West Side, feminists have never shown anything but callous indifference. Add a dose of anti-Semitism, and the feminist indifference to Gaza’s outrages was overdetermined."

Holocaust 2.0: The Face of Absolute Evil. . .

Things aren’t much better—or saner-- across the Atlantic in the New World. North Andover, Massachusetts, officials approved the flying of a Palestinian flag on a pole in the Town Commons. Until December 7. (A date that still lives in infamy.) Solidarity. Students at various “elite” American universities have been observed chanting, “There is only one solution—intifada revolution.” 

 Holocaust 2.0: Crimes of the centuries - American Thinker  First: "1938: Kristallnacht.

"1939: The Nazi German government prohibits Jews from working as nurses, veterinarians, holistic practitioners, and dentists. Germany invades Poland. Thousands of Jews are transferred via freight car from Germany to Poland. German authorities require Jews residing in certain areas to wear white armbands adorned with a Star of David. England declares war on Germany.

"1940: The Battle of Britain rages over the English Channel. An ever-fewer number of British pilots fight valiantly against the powerful Luftwaffe in the skies above the English Channel, eventually repelling the Luftwaffe and leading England’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill to proclaim of the remaining RAF lads, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” 

"In other rightfully famous speeches, Churchill vowed that the English would “...defend our island, whatever the cost may be,” and would “never surrender.”

"Speaking of Hitler, Churchill said, “If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, ‘This was their finest hour.’”

"They so braced themselves-- and stood up to Hitler. And, with America’s help, they prevailed.

Prestigious American universities including Cornell, Harvard, and MIT raked in $13 billion in ‘undocumented contributions’ from Middle East and other foreign donors.

 AH HAH! Rampant anti-Semitism on U.S. college campuses secretly being funded by authoritarian Middle East regimes    "NY Post (h/t Marvin W) Over 200 US universities including elite institutions Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been accused of raking in $13 billion in “undocumented contributions from foreign governments,” according to a new report.

"The report also notes growing incidents of antisemitism on campuses during the 2014-2019 period during the donations — which have since come to a head. Since the Oct. 7th Hamas terror attack on Israel, and the Jewish state’s retaliatory strikes on Gaza, there have been a growing number of appalling instances of antisemitism on college campuses.

"Some of the disturbing incidents include Pro-Palestinian students surrounding a Jewish peer on campus at Harvard during a demonstration and a Cornell professor who said he found the attack by Hamas “exhilarating” and “energizing.”

" 'A Cornell student was arrested recently for allegedly making antisemitic threats and numerous colleges have reported swastikas and anti-Jewish propaganda, racist emails and threats made against Jewish students prompting increased security and police patrols." . . .

"A sizable portion of the funds were said to be donated from authoritarian regimes around the globe including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China and the UAE, the report from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) claimed.

"The huge windfall of cited money was not recorded with the US Department of Education between 2014 and 2019, the NCRI said.

"Carnegie Mellon University received the most from foreign entities in that time span at $1.47 billion while Cornell University scooped up $1.29 billion, Harvard University notched $894 million and MIT collected $859 million, according to the report." . . .

"Experts acknowledge that young people during their formative years often make questionable decisions.

Obama proclaimed that he would bridge the gap between black and white Americans. Actually, he increased it in ways that set racial relations back 50 years.

"In its efforts to portray Donald Trump as the most despicable person ever, the Left slanders him daily in ways unprecedented in American history. If Trump makes an exaggeration, which he is prone to do, he's called a liar. When Trump achieved anything of note in office, the Left cherry-picked minor aspects that could be criticized and elevated beyond their stature. 

"Those on the Right recognize the more profound, universal truths that Trump espouses. Hence, they attend his rallies by the tens of thousands. Hardly anyone is eager to attend a Joe Biden rally. Why?

"An Administration Built on Lies

"Joe Biden, beyond his word salad bumbling, is an incredible liar, covering for Barack Obama, his master. Virtually everything that Biden and his press secretary say is a lie. Unsurprisingly, public confidence in the presidency and today’s sycophant journalism is at an all-time low.

"His agency heads constantly lie: Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Christopher Wray, Pete Buttigieg, Antony Blinken, take your pick.

"The precedent for the Biden Administration’s lies is the administration of Barack Obama, for whom Biden served as vice president. Obama taught Biden the best of lying techniques.

West Coast, Messed Coast™: We Found 'Em! Here's Where Gavin Newsom Hid the Homeless From Xi

 

AF Branco

Victoria Taft  "We found Gavin Newsom's hidden homeless! Welcome to the West Coast, Messed Coast™ update where the news is decidedly fulsome and authoritarian. Paul Pelosi's hammer attacker is tidily put away, the I-10 torcher called from inside the building, the tolerant left moves to close crisis pregnancy centers, and an Islamic professor is arrested in the death of a Jewish protester. Hoo whee, there's a lot going on. Let's get started. 

"And they pretended not to notice where the homeless went.

"So where did they go? The San Jose Mercury News has at least partially answered the question. It turns out the homeless "people were just forced to go to the alleys,” said Javier Bremond, a human rights organizer with the San Francisco advocacy group Coalition on Homelessness. “And a lot of people are under the freeway.”

"An APEC representative from Thailand told the Mercury News he was still shocked at the number of homeless street addicts that remained after the so-called cleanup. “I didn’t believe it at the time until I witnessed it myself... it’s sad to see, especially since I lived here before. It was a romantic city.”

Under the bridge

"PJ Media's Stephen Green, Vodkapundit, has been covering the fire that destroyed part of I-10 in Los Angeles. He discovered that "Some unknown arsonist is believed to have started Saturday's blaze..." The situation is complex but goes something like this: California leases space underneath freeway overpasses. The entity that leased the space "filled the underpass with wooden pallets and containers of alcohol-based hand sanitizer." . . .

BREAKING: Speaker Johnson Releases J6 Footage, and the Left Is Gonna Flip Out –

  PJ Media

"This is the stuff that Nancy Pelosi and her J6 House Select Committee didn’t want you to see. This is the stuff that blows up the narrative of a violent insurrection and a so-called attack on Democracy."

"Moments ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) publicly released footage from the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

" 'To restore America’s trust and faith in their Government we must have transparency,” Johnson said in a post on Twitter. "This is another step towards keeping the promises I made when I was elected to be your Speaker."

"Johnson provided a link that will be continuously updated "with thousands of hours of footage."

" 'When I ran for Speaker, I promised to make accessible to the American people the 44,000 hours of video from Capitol Hill security taken on January 6, 2021,” Johnson said in a statement on X/Twitter. "Truth and transparency are critical. Today, we will begin immediately posting video on a public website and move as quickly as possible to add to the website nearly all of the footage, more than 40,000 hours. In the meantime, a public viewing room will ensure that every citizen can view every minute of the videos uncensored."

"Democrats have long sought to hide this footage from the public, only giving us access to cherrypicked or altered footage, and you can bet that there’s plenty of footage here that will destroy the narrative that Democrats and the media have pushed for two and a half years. 

" 'This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials,” Johnson continued. "I commend Chairman Loudermilk and his team for their diligent work to ensure the thousands of hours of videos are promptly processed to be uploaded to the committee’s public website. Processing will involve blurring the faces of private citizens on the yet unreleased tapes to avoid any persons from being targeted for retaliation of any kind and segregating an estimated 5% of the videos that may involve sensitive security information related to the building architecture." . . .

Biden’s claims about his close relationship with Israel and Israeli leaders belie his abject disdain for the Jewish state

"Our foreign policy, then, is based on compelling Israel to make suicidal concessions––or as England told the doomed Czechoslovakians in 1939, “go forthwith to the very limit of concession”–– and then demonizing our ally for refusing to commit national suicide and accept the mendacious, appeasing narrative that the West endorses in order to serve its own interests."

Commentary "The trouble began only three weeks after Inauguration Day, when the administration announced plans to rejoin the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). The Council has made Israel-bashing a primary focus, racking up over 100 condemnations of that one country in 17 years—roughly the same number as for all other countries combined.

"Two months after taking office, in its annual human-rights report, the Biden State Department re-introduced the term “occupied territories” to refer to Judea, Samaria, and even parts of Jerusalem. However one envisions the contours of a final settlement to the territorial disputes in the area, branding Israel a foreign occupier of land to which it has no claim is factually false and legally misguided.

"The Jewish people have been indigenous to those territories beginning some 3,000 years ago and have maintained a presence there for millennia. Prior to Israel’s capture of the areas in 1967, they had been deeded to no other sovereign nation. Labeling Israel an “occupier” also undermines Israel–Palestinian negotiations, as it is impossible to reach agreements when the claims of one side are denied. Moreover, such terminology offers cover to those using anti-Semitic tropes to portray the Jewish state as a malevolent usurper." . . .
