Democrats and Jews; no microaggressions here

"I fail to see how any Christian can be antisemitic, Jesus Christ was Jewish. You can't be both a christian and antisemitic. Ask yourself why did God send his son to the Jewish people and not some other group?" Comment to the next post.

 

The Columbia U pogrom, and the Jews’ bad gamble on the Democrats - Andrea Widburg  "Two thousand years of non-stop persecution affects people’s psyches, especially when that persecution seems to have reached a crescendo in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. Jews are always waiting, not for “the other shoe to drop,” but for the other jackboot to stomp. As they look at events on Columbia’s campus, while one part of their brain says, “I never thought this could happen here,” the other part is saying, “I always knew this would happen.” What self-reflective Jews will realize is that part of why it happened here is because American Jews gambled that the Democrats would protect them, and that gamble was a fatal mistake.

"People often ask why Jews have long been so blindly loyal to the Democrat party. The answer is that, for almost one thousand years, European Jews had been on the receiving end of often deadly and always disruptive Christian-driven antisemitism. Very often, this persecution came straight from the top, with kings and aristocrats indebted to Jewish moneylenders (since Christians were forbidden to lend money), erasing the debt by killing or driving out the Jews." . . .

Democrats Are Going to Get Someone Killed and They’re Perfectly Fine With It; Derek Hunter Trust me, MSNBC will not complain.    . . ."What Democrats on the radical left are now pushing about Israel and Jews is going to get someone killed. The rest of the Democratic establishment knows that but is too afraid to say anything, instead they just hope whatever death or deaths come from it are something they can use. An angry mob beating a few Jewish students to death would be damaging to Joe Biden’s cause, but some terrorist allies getting killed would be exploited by the left to rally their goon squad to vote. In other words, they would be fine with that.

"Individuals have always been disposable to the left – it’s how they can look at the 100,000,000 people slaughtered by their ideology in the last century and yawn. What’s a few more? As long as the deaths are ones they can use.

"You never know on which side a pot is going to boil over, you only know there’s going to be splatter. A sane person – read: a good one – would turn down the heat so it doesn’t happen at all. Democrats are neither sane nor good…

Cori Bush Using Her Cred as a Ferguson Protester to Defend Pro-Hamas College Protests Was REALLY Stupid – Twitchy   

AG  @AGHamilton29: Thanks for reminding everyone that you supported criminal riots, demanded defunding police so others don’t have protection from the rioting, and then used campaign funds (currently under DoJ investigation) to get security for yourself.

Also in the Bush thread: "ICYMI, Obama's own DOJ investigation determined that "hands up, don't shoot" was a complete lie. Ferguson burned because race mongers like you manipulated the press." Many more comments on Rep. Bush at the link.

Yeah... RIGHT! Ilhan Omar Wishes Jewish Communities a Happy Passover and it doesn't go well   "Her daughter is suspended for protesting in a group chanting 'Death to America' and siding with Hamas against Israel, not to mention Ilhan herself voted against sending aid to Israel. But hey, Happy Passover. "She had to know this would not be overly popular with her haters or supporters, right?" . . . 

"Ceasefire" is the best way to make Israel give up on ridding the world of Hamas and forgetting about the Hamas hostages.

New Mind-Blowing Talking Points Go Out on Pro-Hamas Protests As Libs Scramble for Cover – RedState   "Amid a rash of violent pro-Hamas protests, both in word and deed, liberals are scrambling for political cover, and the talking points have gone out. The videos of large crowds chanting "Death to America" while assaulting Jewish students have become too visible, and that means a new framing is needed.

"Are you ready to have your mind blown? You see, those pointing signs at Jews that say "Al Qassam's next target" while calling for Tel Aviv to be "burned to the ground" are just "anti-war."

. . ."Nothing says "anti-war" like demanding to "globalize the intifada," am I right? Sometimes I wonder what being a Democrat must be like. I mean, sure you'd be morally bankrupt and economically illiterate, but on the other hand, you could literally get away with anything. Are you calling for genocide in the name of a terrorist group? Well, you're just a harmless "anti-war" protester.

Biden's disastrous Presidency

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

 Joe Biden’s presidency has been an unmitigated disaster – Daily News   . . ."This presidency is a disaster of Biblical proportion. The Biden policies are like a siege of plagues.

"The profane chants in September closely followed the feckless and deadly decisions that led to the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan at the end of August. As if that wasn’t bad enough, in January, Biden blathered into a microphone his prediction that Vladimir Putin “will move in”  to Ukraine and it would probably draw no response from NATO if it was a “minor incursion.” . . .

Joe Biden's Growing List of Failures | Opinion (newsweek.com)   "For many, electing Joe Biden represented a return to normality, moderation, unity and competence. Unfortunately, his presidency has only ushered in hyper-divisiveness, immoderate policy, venality and staggering incompetence. The list of Biden's failures is long, and it grows daily. But here are the highlights of that list.

"First, of course, is the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Biden pulled out our troops before getting out our civilians, green card holders and allies, then had to send troops back in to help them get out. Yet even then, Biden failed to get everyone out, despite promising to do so. And in addition to stranding people, the evacuation left billions of dollars' worth of arms, vehicles and equipment in the hands of the Taliban, abandoned a strategic base in the fight against terrorism and allowed the release of imprisoned hard-core terrorists.

"Right up with these two disasters is that of inflation." . . .

U.S. hands over $110m base to Niger junta to release 1,000 U.S. Army hostages, watches helplessly as base goes to Russia - Monica Showalter 

"Joe Biden is a lucky bungler.

"With no Fox News cameras around and nobody paying much attention to what was going on in Niger, a disgraceful, utterly humiliating exit of the U.S. military from that benighted country now led by a military junta, has dealt the U.S. another strategic blow, and entirely preventably. The crummy little tinpot junta now running Niger has managed to kick Uncle Sam around, much as the Taliban and Iran did, creating an accumulating pattern of lost U.S. influence. And sure enough, they got us good, because Joe Biden let them." . .  .

. . .Well, we've noticed, because we've seen this show before. It's time to throw the whole Biden crew out come November, because if we don't, there will be much more like this to come, as U.S. influence on the global stage shrinks down to nothing and our capacity to fight terrorism will be nil.

Opinion | The Ivy League’s Anti-Israel Protest Meltdown

Opinion | The Ivy League’s Anti-Israel Protest Meltdown (msn.com)....  "Anyone who thinks concerns about antisemitism are overdone isn’t paying attention to the scenes at elite universities. Anti-Israel, antisemitic protests at Columbia, Yale and elsewhere are getting uglier, and it isn’t clear the progressives in charge of these institutions are up to the job of enforcing order or protecting Jewish students.

"At Columbia in New York City, pro-Palestinian demonstrators have surrounded Jewish students to push them from a protest camp dominating the campus lawn. “Attention Everyone,” a voice says in a campus video, “Can I get everyone to form a human chain, we have a Zionist at the entrance of our encampment.”

"The “Zionist” was a Jewish student whose friend wore a necklace with a Star of David, according to News Israel correspondent Neria Kraus. The Palestinian crowd followed the order to “slowly walk and take a step forward so we can push them out of the camp.”

"Many protesters on and near campus wear masks or kaffiyehs to disguise their identities. Students have to walk through a gauntlet to get to class. The protesters carry banners calling to “Honor the Martyrs of Palestine” and a sign pointing to pro-Israel counterprotesters as “al-Qasam’s next targets.” Al-Qassam is the military wing of Hamas. That’s a call to kill Jews." . . .

The more one learns about Hamas, the more ignorant our youth look to us.

 The Truth About Israel - American Thinker

[Hamas] is one of the most evil, barbaric organization that has ever existed and I would include the Nazis in that vile collection. They rape, behead babies, slaughter children and women and I wish the ignorant and brainwashed Americans crying about Israel committing "genocide" would get their heads out of their butts and actually answer this question -- what choice does Israel have except to eliminate Hamas?

. . ."Hamas is a violent spinoff of the Muslim Brotherhood which has been deemed a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, and the European Union due to its use of suicide bombings and rocket attacks against civilians.. It has perfected the military strategy of embedding their soldiers under hospitals, schools, mosques and children's play areas so that any attack will cause collateral damage of innocent citizens. The 300 miles of tunnels to Israel they’ve constructed under restrictive buildings are meant to shelter their soldiers, not their citizens, because Hamas does not care for Palestinian lives any more than they care for Israeli lives.

It is one of the most evil, barbaric organization that has ever existed and I would include the Nazis in that vile collection. They rape, behead babies, slaughter children and women and I wish the ignorant and brainwashed Americans crying about Israel committing "genocide" would get their heads out of their butts and actually answer this question -- what choice does Israel have except to eliminate Hamas?

Like the United States, Israel does not start wars,. They enter into the situation of war because they have been attacked or to assist their allies who are in peril. Hamas waged war on Israel on October 7, 2023 by invading southern Israel, killing 1,200 civilians and taking hostages, which is a war crime according to the Geneva Convention which means nothing to barbarians, of course. In the past, Israel could depend on aid from America but this current administration is about as anti-Israel as the DNC and Obama allow it to be.  

The mainstream media is doing all it can to debunk the horror stories by conservative bloggers and eyewitnesses describing  the massacre in sharp detail. The brain-dead Millennials protesting on their Columbia University campus against Israel probably believe the debunking of the IDF claims of the October 7 massacre. Columbia University has always been the site of student protests since the Vietnam War. Of course, most of those students were afraid of being drafted and killed in battle so in some way, one could understand the reason behind these demonstrations.

Sports Illustrated model explains why she's leaving California

SI model, Kristen Louelle Gaffney, blasts California homeless crisis for move to Nashville (nypost.com)  

"Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kristen Louelle Gaffney is fed up with California — and she’s leaving.

"Gaffney, 34, blasted California’s homeless and drug crises as a reason she and her 2-time Super Bowl champion husband, Tyler Gaffney, took their three kids and fled to Nashville, Tennessee.

"Gaffney, a San Diego native, told Fox News she was fed up with policies created by President Biden, Gov. Gavin Newsom and city governments that have fueled the problems.

"The more we claim, and I use the word claim very strongly, that we’re helping these people, it seems like the situation is getting worse,” Gaffney said.

" 'A lot of people come to LA thinking this is the land of my dreams, this is the land of opportunity, this is where I can create something and make a name for myself,” Gaffney said. “LA homelessness…there’s nothing like it. I’ve been on the East Coast, I’ve been on the West Coast, I’ve been in the Bay Area.”

"“This is the dirtiest I’ve seen our cities,” she said.

"Gaffney says she has contributed plenty with her taxes and was offended over politicians asking for more.

" 'You’ve taken enough from us, and you’re only showing me that it’s getting worse,” she told the outlet.

"The move was blamed specifically on the homeless crisis fueled by an increase in the cost of living, which has created an unsafe, living environment for Gaffney to raise her young children." . . .

Joe Biden Learns What Sowing and Reaping Is As Violent Antisemitic Protests Explode

 Joe Biden Learns What Sowing and Reaping Is As Violent Antisemitic Protests Explode – Bonchie  

"Antisemitic and anti-American "protests" continued on Sunday as pro-Hamas supporters occupied areas of Columbia University and Yale University. In one case, a young Jewish student was stabbed in the eye before being told by campus police that there was nothing they could do. 

"With a further escalation of violence from the terrorist supporters all but inevitable, Columbia's rabbi went so far as to tell Jewish students to go home and not return until order was restored." . . .

 "For months, the Biden administration has given public credence to the "pain" and "suffering" of pro-Hamas protesters, doing nothing to discourage their illegal activities and thirst for violence. Undergirding that has been the dangerous far-left ideology of "oppression" which supposes anyone poorer and less successful must be the victim of "colonization" and "marginalization." In other words, the ends always justify the means for the "oppressed."

"There is a testing of the waters going on. The crowds of pro-Hamas supporters want to know how far they can push the boundary because they have no intention of stopping with Jews on college campuses. Their goal is cultural and political domination. 

"That reality has finally started to peak through the blinds of the White House, and a condemnation was put by one of Joe Biden's handlers." . . . 

BREAKING: White House statement on anti-Israel protests at Columbia University:

“While every American has the right to peaceful protect, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly Antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous – they have absolutely no place on any college campus, or anywhere in the United States of America. And echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organizations, especially in the wake of the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, is despicable. We condemn these statements in the strongest terms.” -Andrew Bates, White House Deputy Press Secretary

Rep. Ilhan Omar 'enormously proud' of daughter suspended from Barnard for anti-Israel activity

Jacob Kornbluh – The Forward 

Should her daughter have burned Jewish babies to death? Would she have machine-gunned Jewish families in their bedrooms? How often does she invite the Squad and friends over to watch Schindler's List and its cleaning out of the Polish ghetto? TD

"Rep. Ilhan Omar said Friday that she was “enormously proud” of her 21-year-old daughter, Isra Hirsi, who was suspended from Barnard College the day before for her participation in anti-Israel protests on the campus of Columbia University. 

"Apartheid Divest, a coalition of student organizations at the university, which includes Barnard, said Hirsi and two other students were told of their suspension early Thursday by Barnard’s dean, Leslie Grinage. Later that day, the New York Police Department arrested more than 100 pro-Palestinian protesters, mostly on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct, clearing what they called a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” of more than 20 tents from Columbia’s main lawn. 

"Omar, a Minnesota Democrat and one of the most outspoke critics of Israel in Congress, posted her praise Friday on X." . . .

May we assume Omar would have been proud of her daughter setting infants on fire, machine-gunning families in their homes, and making children watch their sisters and mothers being raped by thugs? Did she and her friends watch the same video that Hamas showed the people of Gaza, and did she cheer the same scenes the Gazans cheered? Gazans did these acts because I find them monsters; college youths did so because I find them useful idiots.TD

Ilhan Omar's Daughter Gets Teen Vogue Profile After Suspension Over Anti-Israel Protesting  Attacked with "Chemical weapons"? It appears to be this:

Tunnel Wall: A sight I found fairly terrifying in a meeting room filled with American citizens who are "useful idiots"!    "The radiant young Americans and their pleasant teacher enjoy each other as he teaches them Muslim chants of "death to America!", and 'death to Israel'. Which is more frightening: that smiling teacher or the young sheep with their raised fists and words implanted in their fertile minds, coming out of their ignorant mouths? It is awful to see so much murderous ignorance in American young people who might be our neighbors. Or family members!

For that matter, can you picture this man now teaching Arabic chants to American children placing an infant into an oven to cook to death; beheading a young person with blows from a hoe or shovel; raping a lady while her family watches at gunpoint. Can you see this pleasant man raping a woman from behind while another grabs her hair and bends her over a truck bed? Would he shoot her in the head while in the act of penetrating her? 

All these have been witnessed by some who have escaped alive from the young men of Hamas who recorded their deeds while doing them with glee. Those video scenes were played for the people of Gaza City who cheered each act that they found to their liking." . . .

. . ."HAMAS MASSACRE (saturday-october-seven.com)  The work of Hamas is so revolting they had to blur out the photos of what they did to publish them.  But since you Keffiyeh-Klad Kollegians are so proud of your latest passion it seemed necessary to display your work. You chant "We are Hamas"? Which Hamas are you; the one who shattered a woman's pelvis by your violent rape? The one who beheaded an infant in its crib? He who made an Israeli family watch you kill their parents? How about one of those who took four Israeli women to an intersection, shot them, then left their bodies in the road?"

From Chamberlain to Biden, Lessons in Appeasement

Today we have pro-Hamas groups, just as then we had American Nazi Bunds standing up for Germany. Like today, the mass killing of Jews was not an issue with them. TD

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

. . ."Our present -day appeasers have exhibited all the delusory smugness that characterized early Chamberlain. Perhaps they have it in them to realize their inadequacy as leaders, as he did, and to devote whatever energy and talents they have left to helping defeat the world menace they have themselves nurtured through their woeful, blind self-absorption." . . . 

“You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war.' - To Neville Chamberlain”; Winston Churchill.  Similarly today, we have the feckless Biden and the campus snowflakes.  TD

"To recognize appeasement, it’s best to learn from a master.

"One must not mistake Neville Chamberlain for a Nazi. He wasn’t. His antisemitism was that of T. S. Eliot — an offended sensibility, a mild disgust at there always being some untidy trouble attending them. He was a prim Englishman who dressed the part of the aristocracy, but who was more of an accountant than a man of leisure and noblesse oblige. He was secretive and manipulative when in power; he was easily threatened by brilliance and outspokenness, separately, and doubly threatened when both qualities were combined, to excess, in Winston Churchill.

"Though he is famous for appeasement, he did draw a line, unexpectedly, and held to it. In the fall of 1938, he fervently believed that he and Hitler had saved the peace of Europe at Munich, and that Hitler could be trusted when he said that the Sudeten territory the Allies had carved off of Czechoslovakia and given him was the last of Germany’s territorial ambitions in Europe.  Then when less then six months later, Hitler gobbled up the rest of the country, after a slight delay, Chamberlain declared himself as having been bamboozled, and he drew a red line in front of where Hitler was heading next — Poland. When Hitler invaded Poland that September, Chamberlain did not pull an Obama and just pretend he had never made a commitment. He sent Germany an ultimatum, and by September 3, Britain was at war.

"But even at war, Chamberlain and his French ally continued to behave as if he was still conducting a negotiation, and it affected the British war effort.

"Churchill had been brought into the government the moment the war started, and he was full of ideas on how to put the Nazis on their heels. Churchill oversaw the water aspect of the war, and the Germans began in his department, by striking at where Britain was most vulnerable – its sea lifeline. The Germans dropped mines all over the shipping lanes and their submarines started the terrible work. 

"Churchill sought to take away the momentum from the Nazis, and his thinking ran inventively, as was his wont. He put forth the plan of fluvial mines — launching hundreds of floating mines into the Rhine River to disrupt the river traffic that carried so much of Germany’s goods. It was a fine idea, but Chamberlain dithered for months. When his government okayed it, the French dithered further, worried that such an escalation would unnecessarily provoke Hitler into the kind of serious fighting that the Allies dreaded. " . . .

360 degrees of hostility: The Biden administration and Israel

  Caroline Glick

"Seemingly with each passing day, the Biden administration announces a new initiative aimed at undermining Israel’s ability to defend itself, either by limiting its military options, constraining its diplomatic maneuvering room, empowering its enemies or inducing domestic discord and social cleavages." . . .

"The Mothers of IDF Soldiers group led a demonstration last week of army mothers, reservists in the Israel Defense Forces, bereaved families and other concerned citizens outside the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. They demanded that President Joe Biden stop leveraging power to force Israel to resupply Hamas.

"The following day, hundreds of Israelis, including parents of soldiers, families of hostages and terror victims gathered outside Ashdod Port. For hours, they blocked trucks laden with supplies for Gaza from exiting the port. Activists have been blocking trucks from entering Gaza via the Kerem Shalom and Nitzana border crossings for more than two weeks.

"Speaking to the crowd in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod, Shifra Shahar, who runs a nonprofit organization that cares for the needs of soldiers, addressed her remarks to Israel’s leaders:

“ 'Government of Israel, defense minister, IDF chief of staff, get ahold of yourselves!

“ 'We had elections last year. I don’t recall voting for [U.S. Secretary of State Antony] Blinken! Blinken is sitting in the war cabinet and protecting the interests of my enemy. … We have sons in Gaza. We have sons fighting. The entry of the trucks endangers them, prolongs the war, increases the number of casualties and delays the return of the hostages!

“ 'They tell me, ‘There are constraints.’ He who is constrained doesn’t win the war.

“ 'They tell me, ‘The Americans are threatening not to provide us with ammunition.’

“ 'To this, I say, if we were besieging them, we wouldn’t need ammunition! The war would end. They’d be screaming for help, returning the hostages and the war would end!” . . .

Marg bar, masks, and mania; Anti-war activists in Chicago learn to chant “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” in Farsi.

"One can understand if the crowd in the Chicago video was hiding behind masks out of shame for their wishing death on others.  That they are hiding behind masks out of likely exaggerated fear for their own hides, one cannot.  It’s time to stop indulging self-centered advocates of terrorists chanting their own death wishes." 

John M. Grondelski - American Thinker   "Last weekend, as Iranian missiles descended on Israel, some Americans were standing with terrorism.  Social media featured a Chicago group happily being taught Persian phrases for “Death to Israel!” They even asking how to add “Death to America!”

 "Think about that: people in America wishing – and wanting to know how to wish – “death to America!”

"Most commentators on that video noted that paradox.  None noted two other things in the video.

"The first is “what does it mean?”  After the crowd enthusiastically chants those slogans, somebody finally asks, “what does it mean?”  One might have expected that question to come first, but at least it came out.  What’s telling is the leader’s response (at 0:40).  He says it has two meanings, “depending on who’s asking.”  Marg bar can mean “death to” or “down with.” 

"Depending on who’s asking,  I guess “down with” can include “six feet down under.”

"That word game is not new.  Apologists for leftist supporters of the “Iranian revolution” have played that verbal shell game for years, insisting that fanatical crowds chanting marg bar Amrika!  were merely proponents of a multipolar world.

"My second observation on the video are the masks.  Almost everybody in that video is masked.  I count at least nine." . . .

President Trump Did Not Incite the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot

Donald W. Bohlken - American Thinker   "President Biden and others claim that President Trump incited the Capitol Riot, falsely described as an  “insurrection,” on January 6, 2021.  This belief explains Colorado’s failed attempt to remove Trump’s name from the ballot because he is an “insurrectionist,” as well as a national YouGov poll that found that 54% of Americans approved of the Colorado action.  It is now used as a justification for Biden to refuse to debate Trump.  This claim remains a serious problem — not only for Trump, but for obtaining an accurate history of what happened on January 6. 

"A rational evaluation of Trump’s words and actions, and other factors, demonstrates that this claim is nonsense.

"If Trump wanted a riot, why would he repeatedly request National Guard troops for January 6?  On January 3, 2021, President Trump asked Secretary of Defense Miller and General Milley to assign National Guard troops to counter violence on January 6.  Miller responded, “We’ve got a plan and we’ve got it covered.”

"Troops could be legally provided only if requested by law enforcement.  The Capitol Police declined the Defense Department’s offer of troops.

"The Secret Service, the Marshals Service, Park Police, and the Department of Homeland Security informed Defense “that they did not anticipate needing DoD assistance on January 6th.”

"The District of Columbia requested 340 troops, primarily for crowd control at Metro stations and intersections.

"On January 5, Trump asked Secretary Miller for 10000 troops “to do what’s required to protect the American people.' ” . . .

Thus, by January 5, President Trump had not only twice requested national guard troops, but had been assured that the Department of Defense had “a plan and we’ve got it covered.”

"It looks like the mob has taken control of Columbia University, SA style. The Columbia Spectator reports on the suspensions issued for for participation in Wednesday’s “Gaza Solidarity Encampment.” One of Ilhan Omar’s daughters (Isra Hirsi) is among the suspended students. The rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the rotten tree.

"The Spectator quotes Columbia undergrad Maryam Alwan, another one of the suspended students. Alwan told the Spectator that she received a letter informing her of her interim suspension from the Center for Student Success and Intervention [!]. “I think all of these administrators need to get a grip and listen to their students and watch the news and see how many people have been killed,” Alwan told the Spectator. (More wisdom à la Alwan in this Spectator column.)

"Who are these people? Four New York Post reporters look into their background in “Columbia anti-Israel protest arrests include Letitia James intern, UPS exec’s daughter who killed elderly couple in crash as a teen.” The Post reporters identify several rotten apples.

"The Columbia “protests” and “protesters” do not support “Palestinians.” They support Hamas and other genocidal maniacs. They are subjecting Jewish students and teachers to something like a reign of terror. The Washington Free Beacon’s Meghan Blonder reports that “Columbia Students Call on President Shafik To Restore Order on Campus,” and it’s not because their feelings have been wounded. It’s because they are unsafe.

"Take the case of Arab-Israeli journalist Yoseph Haddad. He was assaulted at Columbia as he thought he was about to give a lecture on campus. The Free Beacon’s Collin Anderson covers that story here (including video of the assault on Haddad). Haddad’s speech was canceled. “Instead of a lecture, I went to file a police complaint,” he noted. In the tweet below he also commented on the misrepresentation of his story by Reuters. By the way, he understands the Columbia mob perfectly (“terror supporters”). No euphemisms for him." . . .
