Israel’s 9-11: What Now? -

 Ironically, the barbarity of Hamas will — for a time — restore Israel’s image as an underdog under siege, not the “occupier” who oppresses. 

The Israeli government formally declared war and gave the green light for “significant military steps”

And now Hezbollah is attacking Israel – HotAir    . . ."But this morning, a new wrinkle developed in the ongoing war. Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel from Lebanon. Rather than quickly moving toward any sort of ceasefire, the war appears to be expanding. And at the bottom of all of this, Iran is clearly either pulling the strings or at least providing a tacit endorsement of the attacks. (Reuters)" . . .

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

On this day, Simchat Torah we must set aside our joy and mourn our losses. We must put our differences aside and unite and fight for our families, our homes and our homeland.” — Michael Oren, Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. (2009-2013)

"Like America after 9-11, Israel is united.

"Yet, in both countries, nihilists question their nation’s moral legitimacy. They also favor radical judges who no longer interpret law, but make it. But Israel Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu overreached with his judicial reform plan. And his opposition also overreacted. A couple of weeks ago, even the brilliant historian Michael Oren seemed to suggest a connection between the Yom Kippur War a half century ago and “LGTBQ rights” today (he forgot the trendy “+” ).

"But Oren is also right. Although Netanyahu’s tenuous coalition relies on the growing ultra-orthodox parties, they must not force their religious observance or turn back the clock on women. This war reminds us that Israel is a small nation; its survival requires a universal military. Instead of refusing to serve, halakhic Jews should be inspired by their legendary rabbi and foremost Talmudic scholar, the heroic IDF General Shlomo Goren.

"Oren is the author, among his several books, of the definitive work Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East. If you haven’t read it, get it. American born and educated, and the son of a U.S. Army infantry officer who served in World War II and the Korean War, Oren emigrated to Israel in 1979.

"In a later book Ally: My Journey Across the American-Israeli Divide, Oren described his frustration as Israel’s ambassador in dealing with President Barack Obama and his State Department sycophants, given Obama’s obsessive infatuation with the Muslim world and his alienation of moderate Arabs — amidst his destructive engagement with Iran. In 2015, when Oren was touring the U.S. to oppose Obama’s disastrous deal with Iran, he told me of his apprehension about the possibility of what we now know as “Israel’s 9-11.” Even then, he spoke of a Gaza attack in the South, perhaps coordinated with the huge number of Hezbollah rockets in Syria and Lebanon to attack the north, as part of Iran’s proxy war to destroy Israel, and the concern about what might be called “GPS arming,” and the doomsday scenario of an Iran nuclear capability. And we saw this weekend some form of “smarter rockets.” Oren also was concerned about the obvious — no matter the latest generation of Iron Dome or advanced tech, any defense system has its limit and can be overwhelmed." . . .

UPDATED: ‘Repulsive’: Fellow Democrat Shreds Squad Members Tlaib, Bush ‘Glorifying’ The ‘Largest Single-Day Mass Murder Of Jews Since The Holocaust’

Democrats, MSNBC and Antifa: aren't Americans capable of righteous disgust at these wretched sources of evil?


‘Repulsive’: Fellow Democrat Shreds Squad Members Tlaib, Bush ‘Glorifying’ The ‘Largest Single-Day Mass Murder Of Jews Since The Holocaust’ (msn.com)

  "Rep. Ritchie Torres slammed fellow Democrats Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib over “reprehensible and repulsive” comments they made on the current conflict in Israel.

"Hamas launched one of the deadliest attacks on Israel in decades on Saturday, a day after the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war and on a Jewish holiday, killing and kidnapping civilians, launching missile attacks, and committing an outright terror attack on a musical festival.

"Both Tlaib and Bush, along with other members of the group referred to as “The Squad“, have come under fire before over accusations of anti-Semitism.

"As the conflict unfolded over the weekend, Rep. Tlaib issued a statement referring to Israel as an “apartheid government” that created the “suffering” which led to the “resistance” by Hamas. Tlaib demanded the United States stop providing billions in “unconditional funding” to the key ally, and Rep. Bush released similar comments demanding the U.S. stop supporting Israel.

“I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day. I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity,” Tlaib said. “The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.”

Biden Admin Playing Damage Control After Deleted Tweet on Terrorist Attacks in Israel

Iran is not just Israel's enemy; it's ours as well, and this kind of show of weakness does not bode well for either Israel or the U.S.

 MSN   "The Biden administration's first response to watching the brutal attack on Israel by Hamas militants was, apparently, to tell Israel not to defend itself.

"In a now-deleted tweet from the account of the U.S. Office Of Palestinian Affairs, the State Department wrote, "We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has occurred. We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing," the tweet said.

There Is No ‘Moral Equivalence’ Now -

Hamas is the bad actor here, Palestinians who support Hamas are bad actors, and Iran is the worst actor of all.

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "I try to write think pieces, things I’ve mulled over at length, rather than commentary on events as they are happening. But this afternoon (Oct. 7), as I contemplate the news from Israel, I’m too angry and heartbroken to retreat into reflection. The outrageous — no, that’s not strong enough — the utterly cowardly and contemptible Hamas attacks on innocent Israelis — the rocket attacks, the house-to-house massacres and rapes, the kidnappings — this is depravity, plain and simple. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told his nation that this is war, and we can expect that the Israelis, once they recover from the shock and surprise of this morning’s attacks, will mete out a response animated by a righteous and entirely justified anger.

"Condemnation of the attacks has come from virtually every Western leader, including President Biden. One may note that Biden took his time, and that an earlier — and quickly deleted — post on “X” from the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs called on “all sides” to “refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks.” Since Israel had been the party attacked, the call to refrain from retaliation could only have been aimed at Israel. Deleted or not, an administration that tolerates this kind of thinking should be ashamed of itself, and a thoroughgoing house cleaning at this Office should proceed forthwith. We might go further and simply ask ourselves why we even need such an office. In this hour, what we need instead is to make it clear that the only Palestinian affairs that interest us are an end to Hamas and all its works, and a clean and total break between decent Palestinians and the monsters whose pretense it is to act on their behalf. Behind all this lurks the Iranian regime, the chief supporter of Hamas and, almost assuredly, the behind-the-scenes instigator of this morning’s attacks. These were carefully planned and orchestrated with precision, and the fingerprints of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard are likely all over them. In the days ahead, as the Israeli Defense Forces undertake to eject Hamas fighters from southern Israel and then to clean out the bases from which the attacks were launched, we should be prepared for a multi-front escalation.

"In particular, we should be concerned that Hezbollah will launch attacks on Israel’s northern border, confronting the IDF with a two-front war. We should be further prepared for further “pot stirring” on other fronts, such as attacks on shipping in the Persian Gulf, or Iranian-sponsored terrorist attacks even further afield. In the last few years, Iran has cultivated close ties with the regime in Venezuela. At a time when the Biden administration has welcomed something akin to half a million Venezuelan refugees — while deporting only a relative handful — how can we be sure that the flood of refugees hasn’t included some hostile agents?" . . .

Nor do we need the chirping of “Squad” members about moral equivalence, or the antisemitic rantings of many leftist academics and their followers. Frankly, we’d be best served if the Omar’s and Tlaib’s would, for once, hold their tongues, and if they insist on speaking up, perhaps, for once, our President might simply invite them to shut up. Hamas is the bad actor here, Palestinians who support Hamas are bad actors, and Iran is the worst actor of all. We are now paying a price for our lame response to a decade of protests against the Iranian regime, and our unwillingness to hold that regime accountable.

'Total Clown Show': Viewers Lash Out At CNN -

  Analyzing America


"CNN is accused of “burying” the explosive testimony of Joe and Hunter Biden’s longtime friend and business partner Devon Archer. Archer testified that Joe Biden was intimately involved in the foreign business schemes. Then-Vice President Joe Biden was on speakerphone at meetings with business partners at least 20 times. “Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell ‘the brand,'” Archer explained in his testimony.
"Despite these serious allegations, the story was nowhere to be found on CNN’s home page. Instead, CNN led with a story about “Trump’s legal woes.” It appears the network is doing a huge favor for the Biden family by avoiding coverage of their corrupt international bribery scheme that put the U.S. government on sale.

A look at who's attacking Israel

Silence from ‘Squad’ in Congress on social media about Hamas attacks | JNS | clevelandjewishnews.com     . . ."The group of congresswomen, whose three most prominent members are Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), has long attacked Israel in a manner that Jewish organizations and others call antisemitic.

"None of the three has posted on X about the Hamas terrorist attacks.
“ 'Anyone hear from The Squad, or are they too busy celebrating?” wrote Esther Panitch, a member of the Georgia House of Representatives who is Jewish.
“The Squad usually lives on social media, rushing to judgment on every piece of news. Are they at brunch?” wrote Brent Scher, investigations editor at the Daily Wire.
"A founding member of the group, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Ma.), wrote on X that “these devastating attacks on Israelis are deeply alarming and my heart breaks for the victims and their loved ones.' ” . . .

American Thinker

 Gazans should go elsewhere and contribute to the world economy.  Their role as bloody nuisance doesn't get the respect it once did.  With the current attacks, they earn contempt. 

"Why are there people in the Gaza Strip?   Here is some context for the question.  Canada is 16% larger than the U.S. but has only 11% of our population.  Australia is almost the size of the U.S. but has only two thirds the population of Canada. 

"Why don't people flood all that empty space? They can't make a living there.  Canada is too frozen and Australia is too dry to support large populations.

"How do the estimated two million residents of Gaza support themselves?  They don't.  They subsist on welfare from rich Arab states and Iran.  As with most pure welfare recipients, they have little incentive to improve their lot.  Their per capita income is $5,600.  They could join much of the Middle East and migrate to Europe or Turkey.  They could travel to Jordan (income $9,200) or neighboring Egypt (income $11,600).

"On the other hand, getting chump change to do little or nothing is a good gig for people acclimated to welfare.  They're also fed the propaganda that their poverty serves the greater purpose of inconveniencing Israel and killing Israelis.

"For those who think I'm being too harsh on Gazans, here are two interesting points that encompass manufacturing and agriculture." . . . 

Joe Biden's $6-billion war on Israel - American Thinker  . . ."Death is final.  But doctors believe there are good deaths — deaths that are swift and accompanied by scant pain.  Good deaths are contrasted with bad deaths — by a pain-filled long bout with cancer or lung ailments.  And then there are the horror-filled deaths, such as those the world witnessed when jihadists televised beheadings. 

"Then there are the horror-filled deaths that have not been televised or even much discussed: the deaths Palestinian terrorists heap on their Israeli and Jewish victims.

Israel takes great lengths to obtain the corpses of Israelis slain by Arabs.  Usually the corpses come back mutilated; besides signs of torture, bodies are returned with eyes gouged and penises in mouths.

Despite Joe Biden’s supposed pro-Israel words, I don’t know where he really stands on this issue because he lies so often, but this I can tell you: Those on the side of the Jihadists will not prevail. Perhaps drawing stark lines along this fault will weed out some of the more fulminating anti-Israel Jew-haters.

The Republican Party Must Become One - Conservatives need to overcome loathing and failure.

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "I met with the self-appointed emissary to B. last week, and he met with me, the self-appointed emissary to B. Our mission: to breach the divide. What divide? Good question. However, we know it exists. We know it threatens the well-being of the Great Republic. We as a society cannot thrive if the reds and the blues are committed to each other’s destruction and cannot share bathrooms. 

"The rot has got to where it is not only reds and blues; the two sides are divided against themselves and cannot give a simple answer to what ought to be a simple question: What do you, as a red, believe, bedrock? And you, as a blue — I am referring here to American political organizations, not redcoats and patriots — what are your basics?

"Under the circumstances, I thought to begin with what I knew, however small and of little weight in the political world; to wit, the battle of ideas, the engagement with principles and ways of thinking about them. Even here, among both reds and blues, the thinkers — sometimes called intellectuals — whose job is to explain and define key questions cannot see eye to eye or concept to concept.

"Agreeing on positions is not necessary if you agree on principles. For example, the question of whether we are a democratic republic or a republican democracy does not preclude disagreeing on setting term limits for the peoples’ representatives.

"B. and B. are magazine men. As boys, they were enthralled at how William F. Buckley Jr. had launched a magazine that became the beehive of the conservative movement. They both drew inspiration from Irving Kristol, who famously said that if you have problem, start a magazine. Now nobody knew, or appeared to care, who was writing what where.

"My response: Go back to fundamentals. Otherwise, what? You want Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene to define what conservatism is?" . . . 

Why should the average citizen uphold what the judicial system from the very top is destroying?

 Dumb Jury: The Trickle-Down Effect of No Rule of Law - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

  "Jury duty gets a bad rap and for good reason: It’s time consuming, disruptive, and often means being away from seemingly more important things. But juries are critical to the American legal system and to the concept of justice in America. The problem? The people making up juries are dumb. They have little civics understanding. Injustice prevails with biased juries. Injustice prevails when qualified jurors are so disgusted with the system that they try to avoid serving. Injustice prevails with dumb juries.

"How important are impartial juries? Just ask any Jan. 6 protester spending years in prison for walking peacefully, at a police officer’s behest, through the Capitol. Is there a D.C. jury that would find any right-leaning defendant not guilty?

"Some of the problems with juries are pure cynical malice on the part of prosecutors. Some are set up by biased judges. All the problems with juries have, at their root, ignorance of basic civics and the cascading effect that bad judicial outcomes cause a nihilistic belief that serving doesn’t matter. It does matter, though.

"Last week, I went through the jury selection and then, shockingly, got seated on a jury for a felony case.

"There were multiple reasons why people were excused from the jury pool. Some felt that they could not presume the innocence of the man based on past convictions. Some felt that the allegations alone made the man guilty. They did not believe that the prosecution needed to make a case. They believed that the defendant needed to prove his innocence. But the slate-clearing reason why people disqualified themselves: If the defendant didn’t take the stand, then, obviously, he was guilty.

"A friend of mine said of the bandwagoning that happened when this issue came to the fore that the jurors just latched on because they didn’t want to be on the jury. That might have been true of a few. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the 40 or so who disqualified themselves gave long, vehement explanations about how people who are innocent will defend themselves and want to testify.

"As I sat there, I could think of 40 reasons not to testify.

"The judge in this case dismissed them all. That left a small pool to choose from, and I was one of them. The remaining jurors were intelligent, attentive, and sincere. It was a brutal case with heart-rending evidence scrupulously compiled by a crack team of prosecutors. They made the jury’s job easy and proved their case beyond a shadow of a doubt, never mind beyond reasonable doubt. This was a case where justice prevailed.

"Leaving the courtroom, though, the responses of these jurors and the clear injustice being meted out in courtrooms across America because of dumb jurors brought disturbing thoughts." . . .

Hillary just won’t go away

 Marcus Ebenhack - American Thinker

. . ."As I like to say; how can we miss you, Hillary, if you won’t go away?

"Her latest resurrection has her calling for “deprogramming” of Trump supporters.  Calling us “deplorables” wasn’t enough.  Now we must be “deprogrammed” out of our Trump hysteria.  You have to hand it to her for doubling down on the biggest faux paus of her last campaign.  Like AOC, she’s often wrong but never in doubt.

"Two weeks ago she was accusing Donald Trump of “what psychologists call projection.”  And as always, with zero sense of irony or self-awareness.  Not to rehash the details, but her “Russian collusion” dirty political tricks against Trump in 2016 is worth mentioning in this context.  Projection?  LOL, pot meet kettle!

"For Hillary, like a shark sensing blood in the water, to resurface twice in a couple of weeks means only one thing to me.  Joe Biden is toast, Kamala Harris is… well, just hopelessly stupid.  Gavin Newsome presides over the most dysfunctional state in the union.  James Carville tells us how deep the Dem bench is and that it’s time for the next generation of Democrat Party leaders, with a straight face, but without mentioning anyone in particular.

"WASHINGTON, D.C. — Viewers are perplexed by a CNN television interview featuring a deranged old lady who recently escaped from an elder care facility, angrily ranting about wanting to "deprogram" half of the nation's population.

" 'They must comply! Deplorables! All of ‘em!" the disheveled geriatric growled at the camera while CNN's Christiane Amanpour attempted to de-escalate the situation. "If they don't fall in line, we'll round them up and re-educate them! De-program them! Re-program them! If that doesn't work, then we'll just disappear them! Yes! Yeeeeeeessssssss! Ahahahahahahaha!"

"The CNN interview team did their best to remain calm, despite the obvious threat posed by the tottering, decrepit woman. "She may be old and frail, but you can tell she's serious," said one member of the television crew. "We heard she escaped from a nursing home nearby, but you could tell she's terrorized people in the past. Chilling, dangerous stuff. Or maybe she's just completely insane, who knows."

"The woman was later restrained by security, sedated by men in white scrubs, and thrown into the back of a waiting van to be returned to the confines of her nursing home. A spokesperson for the facility later made a statement to the press regarding the incident. "Sadly, this has become an ongoing problem with this particular patient," said Eduardo Guerrero. "She goes off her rocker a lot. She even has this crazy notion that she's actually the President of the United States, which we know full well never happened."

"At publishing time, CNN advised everyone in the country to be on the lookout, as the crazy woman was believed to making the rounds for more TV interviews."

"And there are well-known tensions between Clinton and Warren, who has not given up on the idea of running again in 2024.

"So the question is, will they run from her and avoid her because she’s such lightning rod — much the same way Democrats are now running from Biden?

"I’m betting the answer is yes. Clinton has just too much baggage from her previous runs, and Democrats are looking for something new."

She Doesn't Understand How Bad She Was, And Still Won't Go Away (freebeacon.com)

. . . This was not just a bad candidate. This was a terrible candidate—the worst campaigner ever to receive a nomination. Maybe the best way to look at her new memoir is that the book represents a determined, powerfully willful effort not to understand just how bad she was.?

A sad endlessness suffuses the list of all those Clinton blames for her loss. The nation just wasn't ready for her. Fake news undid her. The New York Times was mean to her. James Comey and the FBI were out to get her. So were Vladimir Putin and Julian Assange. Misogyny and racism. Racism and misogyny. Misogyny again, just in case we missed it the first dozen times she mentions it. The FBI again, too."

 Chilling then-and-now photos show where Auschwitz monsters relaxed – The First News

Party for Rudolf Höss. Left to right: Richard Baer, Josef Mengele, Josef Kramer, Rudolf Höss and Anton Thumann. Mengele, the Auschwitz doctor known for his horrific experiments on prisoners, was never brought to justice, while Baer escaped arrest until 1960. The other three were executed. This was taken at a July 1944 during a party for Höss. Based on the officers visiting Solahutte, we surmise that the photographs were taken to honor Rudolf Hoess who completed his tenure as garrison senior on July 29th.


Has the gallows, on which Rudolf Hoess was hanged at Auschwitz, been moved? | Scrapbookpages Blog (wordpress.com)  "Just a short distance from Auschwitz, where the defining crime of the 20th century was being carried out, in a picturesque setting on a hill by the bend of a river was a resort for the camp’s SS guards.

"This rustic oasis of peace and leisure was where the perpetrators of the Holocaust could relax, sing and feast before getting back to the demanding task of murdering around one million Jews as well as Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, Roma and political prisoners.

"The retreat operated from 1940 until it was closed down just before the Red Army liberated Auschwitz in January 1945.

"After the war it was used as a hotel for workers from the chemical plant in OÅ›wiÄ™cim. Not much remains of the retreat and nature is slowly reclaiming the site, which will soon be lost forever.

"This was why British Holocaust researcher and founder of the Auschwitz Study Group Michael Challoner decided to document what still remains and he has created a fascinating series of before-and-after photographs that serve as a poignant reminder of how the SS perpetrators of the Holocaust relaxed in their free time.

"The original images from the 1940s that Michael used come from a collection of photographs known as the Hoeker Album, which was revealed to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2007 after laying for decades among the documents of an American intelligence officer who came across the album in Frankfurt after the war." . . .
