Rashida Tlaib Accuses Biden of Genocide in Gaza in Incendiary “Ceasefire” Video That Features Genocidal Anti-Israel Chants

  The Gateway Pundit | by Kristinn Taylor  "Just days after Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was given a pass for her anti-Semitism by her fellow Democrats in Congress–and a handful of Republicans–on a motion to censure her, Tlaib posted an incendiary Gaza ceasefire video on Friday that accuses Joe Biden of supporting “genocide” in Gaza while featuring video of pro-Hamas marchers in the U.S. chanting genocidal chants against Israel such as “From the river to the sea…” and “No peace on stolen land.” (UPDATE at end of article. Tlaib adds her explanation of “from the river to the sea.”

"Tlaib warns Biden he will lose her support as well as other pro-Hamas Americans in his 2024 reelection bid if he does not support a ceasefire in Gaza." . . .

"The video opens with Joe Biden, flanked by Kamala Harris, saying, “We stand with Israel” and cuts to footage of explosions in Gaza followed by images of bodies in sheets and an injured child covered in dust and then a dead child.

"The video switches to pro-Hamas marches in the U.S.: Michigan, California and Pennsylvania. Followed by an Ohio protest chant captioned, “No peace on stolen land!” and an Illinois protest chant captioned, “Free! Free! Palestine!” and “The occupation has got to go!”

"Tlaib is then seen speaking addressing Joe Biden, “Mr. President, the American people are not with you on this one.” . . .

Hamas started the conflict by sending death squads of 2,000 killers into Israel at a time of peace to surprise murder more than 1,000 Israeli civilians.There was no precivilizational, unspeakable atrocity that the butcherers did not commit—torture, beheading, rape, mutilation, and necrophilia.   "The best way of understanding it is that Israelis are Jews and the ancient plague of anti-Semitism is again sweeping the globe" Victor Davis Hanson

"As Hamas gunmen moved through the kibbutz, the sounds were terrifying – the sounds of a massacre now underway.

“We heard them going house to house and spraying the people with gunfire,” said Dor, another security team member. “We heard them talking, shouting ‘Allahu akbar,’ laughing. There was the sound of endless automatic gunfire, fires burning, kibbutz residents screaming.”

The source of the above is vehemently anti-Israel and prolific in its refutations. Yet it fails to disprove the bloodshed of all ages in the kibbutz Be' eri.

"By the time the brothers found the old man in his rocking chair, more than 80 residents of Be’eri were dead – almost one in 10 members of the kibbutz – and at least 30 had gone missing. Hamas militants killed more than 1,400 people in communities, army bases and at a music festival in the south of the country on Oct. 7, and took at least 240 hostage, Israel said." . . .

"In response to questions from Reuters, Osama Hamdan, a Hamas official in Lebanon, said the organization “totally and utterly” denies “all the Israeli claims mentioned in this report.” Several days after the Oct. 7 attack, Hamdan told Reuters the assault showed Palestinians had the will to achieve their goals “regardless of Israel’s military power and capabilities.”

Nearly 100 Ohio churches leave UMC amid homosexuality schism

  Church & Ministries News (christianpost.com)

"Nearly 100 congregations in Ohio have left the United Methodist Church amid the denomination's ongoing debate over homosexuality, joining thousands of other churches in the United States that have done the same.

"At a special session of the UMC West Ohio Conference held last weekend, 96 churches were granted their request to disaffiliate from the mainline Protestant denomination.  

"The session was held at Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church in Tipp City, with around 800 clergy and laity in attendance. Bishop Gregory V. Palmer presided over the gathering.

"In addition to the 96 disaffiliations, the session also dealt with budgetary issues, recommending the sale of two camping properties and electing additional delegates to the UMC General Conference.

" 'We were empowered to make some challenging decisions," said Palmer in a statement. "We brought glory to God by the patient, honest, and respectful way we engaged one another. In spite of the challenges, we have come through, our future is open because God is able."

"In June, the West Ohio Conference voted to allow 172 congregations to disaffiliate from the UMC, having allowed 80 churches to leave the denomination last year. It is estimated that, at present, the regional body covering over 50 counties has a little over 600 member congregations remaining." . . .

Harvard Student Surrounded by Pro-Palestinian Mob in Latest Campus Madness –

 While we haven’t quite reached that point yet, the madness on college campuses continues, and recently, a crowd of pro-Palestine demonstrators surrounded a Harvard student on campus and yes, yelled “shame, shame, shame” at him. The incident occurred on October 18, but video footage was only posted on Wednesday.


RedState   . . ."The student's crime? He was videotaping them. Which begs the question: Why do all these supposed tough guys (and girls) whine like bratty kids when someone exposes their own behavior? If you’re not proud of it, don’t do it.

The incident occurred at a “Stop the genocide in Gaza” die-in demonstration by the Harvard Business School, where hundreds of participants laid on the ground and pretended to be dead:

According to the Harvard Crimson, the school’s student newspaper, the confrontation at the demonstration was sparked when the accosted student “began to film demonstrator’s faces.”

“Within minutes, he was escorted out by protest organizers, who blocked his camera with their keffiyehs — traditional scarves worn by Palestinians that have come to symbolize Palestinian nationalism,” the newspaper wrote. “Demonstrators yelled ‘shame’ at the disruptor as he left.” 

"One of the protesters has reportedly been identified as Ibrahim Bharmal, the editor of Harvard Law Review.

"This is allegedly our nation's best and brightest:"

One Sick War

 Victor Davis Hanson; American Greatness

There are 500 million Arabs in the world, and nearly 2 billion Muslims—but only 9 or so million Israelis.  Nearly fifty percent of the world’s oil reserves are found in the Muslim Middle East. Westerners, like tiny Israel, are considered too rich and powerful, while non-Westerners are romanticized as blameless, victimized underdogs.

 

One incredibly distressing picture shows blood smeared across a nursery

 "There is something surreal, even sick about the current Gazan war.

"Throughout European and American cities and campuses, tens of thousands of Middle East immigrants and students, and radical leftists chant nonstop “Free Palestinian from the River to the Sea.”

"More recently, they are also yelling, “Israel, you can’t hide, we caught you in genocide.”

"Consider the hypocrisy of that dual messaging.

"Hamas and its supporters are openly and eagerly calling for the genocidal end of Israel by wiping it out from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

"Yet at the same time they also claim it is Israel that is committing genocide—the very current self-described agenda of Hamas and its expatriate community of devotees!

"The war has become crazier still.

"Hamas and its megaphones abroad also blast Israel daily for retaliating for the October butchery of some 1,300 Israeli infants, children, women, and the elderly.

"They further demand Israel must be selective in its airborne targeting of the Hamas killers, who burrow beneath hospitals, mosques, and hospitals and use civilians as shields.

"Hamas takes for granted that a supposedly heartless Israel nevertheless will be reluctant to strike the Hamas terrorists when and if they are surrounded by civilians.

"Indeed, Gazans are put in more danger by Hamas than they would otherwise be by the Israel Defense Forces." . . .

. . ."Upon breaching the Israeli dorm, wrestling coach Moshe Weinberg and weightlifter Yossef Romano were killed almost immediately. Horrifyingly, Romano, according to the Associated Press, was castrated and Weinberg’s body was thrown to the street. Some escaped, but nine Israelis were quickly taken hostage, including weightlifters David Berger, who was born in America, and Ze’ev Friedman, wrestlers Eliezer Halfin and Mark Slavin, track and field coach Amitzur Shapira, sharpshooting coach Kehat Shorr, fencer Andre Spitzer, weightlifting judge Yakov Springer and wrestling referee Yossef Gutfreund.

"A 9 a.m. deadline was set for the terrorists’ political prisoner release demands—not meeting it, they said, would result in one hostage being executed every hour." . . .

Below: "But the helicopters which awaited them became the scene of almighty gun-battle as police snipers tried to ambush the group. Within two hours, all of the athletes were dead - slaughtered inside the helicopters by the Palestinians. One German police officer also lost his life and only three of the hostage-takers survived."

A member of Black September used a grenade to destroy one of the two helicopters that had Israeli hostages inside. The burned-out army helicopter is pictured here at Fürstenfeldbruck air base on Sept. 7, 1972.

Hilarious Trick-or-Treaters Roast Joe Biden –Respectfully, of course

PJ Media


"I hope these trick-or-treaters' parents have their taxes in perfect order for the audits on the horizon, because their Halloween mockery of "President" Joe Biden is way too funny. Of course, politics is always a popular theme at Halloween — why else would costume suppliers manufacture presidential masks every year? But it's one thing to buy a mask and put it on, and it's another to play the part convincingly. When these young revelers layered their role-playing with mockery, the result was spot-on political satire."

"To be sure, the blundering, phony, incompetent, and crooked Biden administration is an easy target, and there was more than one effective lampoon of its leaders this year. But far and away the best comedic work was done by good, old-fashioned irreverent teenage boys. No wonder the left calls them "toxic" and tries to castrate them with humorless nag culture.

"First place for Halloween 2023 was a tie between two sets of magnificent young men who had the same idea: one of them dressed as Biden while his buddies transformed themselves into his Secret Service detail/care providers. Watch these comic wizards destroy the pretenses of the leftist establishment in seconds. Here's group one:" . . .

Israeli Parliament Members Break Down After Watching Videos of Hamas Atrocities on October 7

"It's so obvious that these people don't belong here that the immediate reaction of a number of politicians was to demand that their visas be revoked. (Nobody looked at anti-war protests in the '60s and said, Revoke their visas!)

These groups refuse to understand that in the lines to the crematoria, the Nazis/Hamas/ISIS does not separate the Jews who are pro-Nazi/Hamas/ISIS from those who are not.

"There are Israeli counterparts to these groups, like Breaking the Silence, Yesh Din, Machsom Watch and HaMoked. On Oct. 18, they posted a plea to President Joe Biden referencing both Israeli and Palestinian civilians, but their focus was clearly on their “Palestinian colleagues in Gaza under bombardment of the Israeli military. … In Gaza, the civilian population must be shielded from the fighting.”

"Are there any such statements being issued by Palestinian groups? Just asking.

"The news isn’t all appalling, however. Hamas’s live-streamed atrocities were a wakeup call for many. There has been a spike in American and European Jewish donations to the IDF, Magen David Adom and many humanitarian causes in Israel, where hundreds of thousands have been displaced from their homes and countless families have been murdered or wounded, while others must bury relatives and take on the care of orphaned children." . . .

Columbia Professors Now 'Appalled' by Antisemitic Campus

 Jazz Shaw – HotAir

"On Monday, a group of dozens of faculty members at Columbia University in New York signed and published a letter supporting the right of students on their campus to protest against Israel and support Hamas. The letter caught fire in the media and plenty of people noticed. Some of those people turned out to be the rest of the faculty on the campus who had not signed the letter. They quickly realized that they were now the center of national attention, particularly after attacks on Jewish students and threats of violence were breaking out at Columbia. They hastily penned their own letter yesterday, describing how they were “appalled” by all of the antisemitism on display at their university. Will that be enough to stem the damage to the institution? (NY Post)

More than 200 faculty members at Columbia University said Tuesday they were “appalled by the spate of antisemitic incidents” on the Manhattan campus, a day after scores of their colleagues signed a letter defending students who supported Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 terror attack.

The new letter came after Jewish students rallied on campus to blast the administration’s “inaction” on what they called an “unsafe” atmosphere in the weeks since the attack, due to at least one attack on an Israeli student, death threats and rampant hate speech and vandalism.

While the faculty members agree “there should be robust debate about complex and difficult issues” concerning the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, they say “there is no excuse for Hamas’s barbaric attack on Israeli civilians.”

"As walkbacks go, I suppose this was about the best they could do. The phrase “no excuse” draws a fairly strong red line in the sand. It was perhaps somewhat weakened by the rest of the first two paragraphs where they included the obligatory support of “robust debate” over what they describe as a “complex and difficult” issue in Israel and Gaza. (Read the full letter here.)" . . .

More than Anti-Semitism: We are All Targeted - American Thinker

. . .Student activists and the faculty members who have filled their heads with this mush (to use Rush Limbaugh’s polite term for what we really know originates from where the sun don’t shine) have no direct interest in the Israeli-Hamas (Iranian) conflict. So why would they choose against Israel, a democratic society with liberal values allied with the country within which they live? Is it pure ignorance, like the Harvard group “Queers for Palestine” which does not seem to realize that under Palestinian law, being homosexual is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and in Hamas-ruled Gaza, by death? Or has Israel simply been assigned a role in a larger ideological drama: the domestic war against western values and success?. . .

Hamas chief offers up the blood of Gaza's women and children to keep his terrorists motivated - Monica Showalter    . . ."Normal nations ... and men ... will fight and sacrifice themselves for their women and children. That's the textbook definition of masculinity. That's what Israel is doing as it seeks to defend itself against the monstrous terrorists who laid waste to the land and tortured and murdered 1,400 innocent women, children, elders and many others.

"Now this creep wants to sacrifice his fiefdom's women and children, presumably because he can't motivate his minions to fight for his repellent cause otherwise.

"On one level, that's understandable, actually, because there's nothing good about it. What's more maggoty than going out and slaughtering innocent women, children, babies, handicapped people, and old people, which is what Hamas pulled on October 7? Anyone can kill the vulnerable. It takes a man to take up arms against actual warriors, which none of them are, nor do they have the courage to do." . . .

Democrats Love the IRS More Than They Love Israel

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "We always knew this, but now there is no further doubt: Today’s Democrat Party is a congregation of slaves devoted to the federal government’s perpetual expansion at the expense of every other consideration.

"And that certainly includes Israel, amid a war foisted upon it by the Democrats’ friends among the Palestinian Arabs and their Iranian backers.

"There is a bill to provide some $15 billion in aid for Israel now moving through Congress. But new House Speaker Mike Johnson did something interesting with it. (READ MORE from Scott McKay: Here’s to You, Cornel West and Dean Phillips!)

"He tied the appropriation for Israel aid to a corresponding cut — namely, to the $80 billion funding increase for the IRS that the Democrat-led House passed in the dying throes of the last Congress.

"This, we’re told, was a colossal mistake on Johnson’s part:

Johnson has made a “huge and consequential blunder” by tying additional U.S. aid for Israel to a cut in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) funding, according to a senior Democratic-leaning political strategist.

On Monday, House Republicans introduced a bill that would provide an additional $14.3 billion in aid to Israel which is currently fighting Hamas, in exchange for an IRS funding cut of the same value. Spending on the IRS was beefed up in 2022 as part of President Biden’s flagship Inflation Reduction Act, which also substantially increased investment in green energy.President Biden has requested $106 billion from Congress, $61.4 billion of which would go to Ukraine, $14.3 billion to Israel, 13.6 billion to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, with the remainder for Taiwan and other humanitarian work including in Israel, Gaza, and Ukraine. However, Republicans in the House—some of whom oppose any additional aid to Ukraine—instead introduced the standalone bill offering financing for Israel in return for IRS cuts. . . .
