How did Gaza Attack Israel | Explained in 2 Mins
"Some perspective is needed. The Palestinians rejected offers to create their own state in 1947, 1967, 2000 and 2008. The Arab League nations armies tried to destroy Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973 wars. For decades Palestinians killed thousands of Israelis including women and children in terror attacks. Gaza is not occupied since 2005. Arab countries like Egypt, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco already recognized the Jewish state and signed peace treaties with tiny Israel. Palestinians should blame nobody but themselves for the political deadlock."
"It's funny how you managed to exclude the fact that they also slaughtered almost anybody in their way , children elderly women whatever. And only took some of them as prisoners."
Oct 7, 2023, taught us the danger of not just living next door to Palestinians but living among them.
Our ancient historical markers, scattered throughout this land, are the tactile expression of Jewish memory, and an ancient spiritual yearning. For thousands of years, Jews in the Diaspora would leave a corner of their homes unpainted, to remind themselves that they were not home. They prayed in the direction of Jerusalem.
'Apartheid' Myth: The Improper Use of False and Misleading Claims Regarding Israel | HonestReporting
"The claim that Israel is an “apartheid state” is intensifying worldwide. According to Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, the rhetoric has become “unprecedented in its venom and in its radioactivity” and, moreover, he concludes that this could be the year that the label actually sticks and becomes a real danger to Israel.
"This would be merely a case of competing ideas except that the apartheid claim is demonstrably false and misleading (as demonstrated below), and the improper use of such a serious moniker poses a danger to Israel, to Palestinians, and to democracies in general.
"Indeed, Lapid’s analysis is supported by recent events:
"The Palestinian Authority, which in 2010 declared a “diplomatic intifada” against Israel, has taken center stage.
"PA Foreign Minister Riyad Malki last week queried diplomats at the United Nations Security Council: “Will you accept this [Israeli] apartheid in the 21st century or will you convert to advocates of the one-state solution of freedom and equal rights for all between the [Jordan] River and the [Mediterranean] Sea?”
"The one-state solution effectively entails the replacement of Israel with an Arab-majority country.
"Perhaps lost on the UN diplomats is that the PA supports this eventuality by its insistence on the “right of return” to Israel of millions and millions of Palestinian “refugees.”
"For his part, PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh in November said that Israel risked perpetuating a system of “apartheid.” His remarks were parroted by many news outlets, which, parenthetically, failed to even mention repeated Israeli peace overtures that have been rejected by the PA." . . .
Douglas Murray Dismantles Israeli 'Genocide' Claim And Exposes Hypocrisy
"The disgraceful accusation of genocide is based on pure and obvious lies. Douglas Murray calmly dismantles and exposes the hypocrisy and antisemitism behind the accusation."
Israel faces charges of genocide at the International Court of Justice. Here’s why, and how Israel will respond. - Jewish Telegraphic Agency (jta.org) . . ."Kittrie said Israel will be able to show it has instituted mitigation measures in its military campaign.
“Israel’s extensive advance warning and other measures to mitigate harm to Gaza civilians make clear that Israel’s goal is not to commit genocide but, far from it, to instead minimize Palestinian civilian casualties while lawfully exercising Israel’s rights to rescue its hostages, apprehend the Oct. 7 perpetrators, and ensure that Israel’s population is secure from further attacks,” he said.
"Israeli spokespeople have also suggested that Israel will seek to turn the tables, and level charges of genocide against Hamas.
“ 'The Hamas terrorist organization — which is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and sought to commit genocide on 7 October — is responsible for the suffering of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by using them as human shields and stealing humanitarian aid from them,” the Foreign Ministry’s Hayat said in a statement." . . .

There is nothing a Politician will not shell out money for
"It’s also bizarre to see conservatives on the side of big banks and the federal government. Why is it always “you took out a loan, so pay it back” and never “you loaned out money to an 18-year-old who wants a gender studies degree; you’re an idiot”?" Josiah Lippincott
A Sane Solution to the Student Debt Crisis › American Greatness . . ."Many have rightly pointed out that student loan forgiveness is unconstitutional, which is true. But it was unconstitutional for the federal government to loan out that money in the first place. There is no provision in our founding documents that says the feds are supposed to subsidize higher education for the whole population.
"Indeed, it was the federal government pouring money into the university system that caused the price of college to skyrocket to such absurd levels. From 1963 until now, the price of a college education has tripled, after adjusting for inflation. Meanwhile, the inflation-adjusted starting salary for college graduates has remained flat at around $55,000 per year." . . .

| Forgive loans! Support Hamas! When do we want it? NOW! |
Biden’s student loan forgiveness is just classic vote-buying, with taxpayer dollars – Orange County Register (ocregister.com) . . ."Biden’s hoping for “breathing room,” all right — but more for himself and his party than for those student borrowers.
"Borrowers aren’t unimportant, of course. But Biden isn’t really looking at 153,000 borrowers. He’s looking at 153,000 VOTERS.
"Plus a previous 3.9 million.
"Plus all of those voters’ parents, spouses, children, and other loved ones who probably like the reduced monthly hit on their household incomes.
"Like previous rounds, this latest write-off is a $1.2 billion campaign expenditure, one that doesn’t have to come out of the Biden campaign’s $56 million in cash reserves, or be raised with donation drives.
"Those of us who don’t have student loan balances hanging over our heads might not like it that much, but we probably won’t remember, remember on the 5th of November quite as bitterly as the beneficiaries will fondly.
"And before we get temporarily outraged, it’s probably worth considering how OUR votes are bought.
"They’re bought with “stimulus” checks." . . .
Biden’s lies on top of lies on top of lies
- Victor Davis Hanson - Whatfinger News Summary "Biden’s lies on top of lies on top of lies. In the last week, Joe Biden had flat-out lied in the most egregious fashion in so many ways. In his disastrous press conference of last week, he claimed that special counsel Hur’s report exonerated him. Anyone who read the findings concluded exactly the opposite. According to Hur, Biden would have been indicted for his willfully unlawful removal of classified documents except for two reasons: one, the Department of Justice protocols apparently prohibit indicting a sitting president; and two, Biden suffers such cognitive decline that the special counsel believes a jury would more likely pity him into acquittal than convict him of what he is certainly guilty. He lied that Hur brought up his son’s death (“How in the hell dare he raise that?”)."
"In fact, Biden as is his serial wont, raised it, and does on a regular basis, usually deliberately and further lying that his son died while on military duty in Iraq (he died six years subsequently as a civilian in Walter Reed Hospital), and always contorting the death to enhance his own greater sense of grieving. He lied that he notified authorities when he discovered that he unlawfully had taken out classified documents to various residencies (perhaps for over some 30 plus years during his senatorial and Vice Presidential tenures). In fact, Biden only admitted that he had apparently for decades unlawfully removed classified files in 2017, to his ghostwriter in a recorded tape, and then he hid that fact and kept quiet for five years—until his administration’s special counsel began to investigate Trump for the same thing. Note the worried ghostwriter erased the tape of Biden’s confession as soon as he learned there was an appointment of a special counsel. (Destroy evidence much?) He lied that the files bore no classification marks.
"In fact, they did and do. He lied that he kept the files safe in a secure location. In fact, the special counsel report includes several photographs of the Biden garage, in which there were sloppily stored, open, and torn boxes of classified documents amid a complete mess of junk. He lied that Trump’s once secure border is somehow responsible for Biden’s intentionally open border. He just lied that Trump caused the 2022 Putin invasion of Ukraine on Biden’s watch that never occurred on Trump’s. It is not enough that the Biden team must wildly lie daily that the non-compos-mentis President is dynamic, impressive in his recall and cognition, and stands out as the most astute mind in most of this meetings. Well apart from his cognitive decline, Biden himself is a pathological prevaricator. – Victor Davis Hanson

. . ." But back to Behar's comments about how when Biden wasn't nervous he didn't stutter and the age question supposedly disappeared. The problem with that is the presidency is a highly stressful job at all times and requires someone who can think quickly on their feet and not constantly get tripped up on (and forgetful of) their own words and actions. Further, it's not just the American people who are watching but leaders from around the world who are gauging the strengths and weaknesses of a president." . . .

Airman Who Set Himself On Fire Was Anarchist Who Spied On Americans For NSA
Armed Forces Press "Aaron Bushnell was in the 531st Intelligence Squadron which provided NSA support to the Department of Homeland Security. This disturbed youth was looking through your emails and social media"
"Aaron was confused and apparently one more mushhead created by the conveyor belt of pop culture, perhaps TikTok, and indoctrination in the current U.S. Military. He was an anarchist and held strong anti-Israel, anti-Jewish viewpoints. Media has taken a swipe and an attempt to obfuscate his anarchist views by saying he was part of a Christian cult. Chaff and flares are being deployed to distract from what was going through this mushhead’s brain.
"Much of this has been reported.
"What has not been reported; Aaron also held some of the highest security clearances in his Air Force role of the uniformed element of the National Security Agency.
"Like Reality Winner (yes that was her name) we have one more psychopath who made it through the vetting for the highest levels of security clearances." . . .

"Sigmund Freud always took a somewhat jaundiced view of the human psyche, but in the wake of the horrors of World War I, it turned even darker. Confronted with mankind’s capacity to destroy itself, Freud concluded that within every living thing, there is a drive towards senescence and homeostasis—a state in which things do not change. The ultimate form of such a state, of course, is death. Thus, Freud believed, all life contains within it the seed of its own destruction and dissolution—a death drive.
"But Freud understood that this was not simply a desire for stasis. In 1932, he wrote to Albert Einstein, “According to our hypothesis human instincts are of only two kinds: those which seek to preserve and unite … and those which seek to destroy and kill and which we group together as the aggressive or destructive instinct.”
"These instincts are not always opposed, however. Freud asserted that “an instinct of the one sort can scarcely ever operate in isolation; it is always accompanied—or, as we say, alloyed—with a certain quota from the other side, which modifies its aim or is, in some cases, what enables it to achieve that aim.”
"In the unity of sex and death, Freud implied, there comes a point at which the death drive becomes a desire for the orgasmic destruction of oneself and others. Sex enables death and vice-versa.
"All of this came to mind when I read that a man named Aaron Bushnell had committed suicide by setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington while shrieking, “Free Palestine.' ” . . .
US airman who burned himself to death at Israeli embassy had anarchist ties (msn.com) . . ."The Post spoke with some people who described his upbringing on a religious compound in Orleans, Massachusetts, run by a Benedictine monastic religious group called the Community of Jesus. He was a young man who liked karaoke and The Lord of the Rings, they said.
"The church, however, has a darker side, at least according to a lawsuit in Canada brought by former students of a now-closed Ontario school where many officials were alleged to be members of the US-based religious group, according to the Post.
"Those officials, the students said, ran a “charismatic sect” that “created an environment of control, intimidation and humiliation that fostered and inflicted enduring harms on its students”." . . .

"Gaslighting" in its purest form: AP: Laken Riley’s murder highlights the ‘danger’ of running alone as a female -
. . .“The killing of a nursing student out for a run highlights the fears of solo female athletes” which are… uncivilized third-world barbarians pouring into the United States because they’ve been invited by Democrats, set loose by Democrats, handed pre-loaded debit cards by Democrats, and shielded from prosecution by Democrats."
Olivia Murray - American Thinker "This was a masterclass in gaslighting.
"Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student who was murdered this past Thursday while on a jog around a Georgia university campus. The suspect, Jose Antonio Ibarra, is an illegal alien who’s been gaming the system since he crossed our border in 2022 with Joe Biden’s blessing—so naturally, the tragedy is a condemnation of the Bidenites and their pro-crime policies.
"Yet, here’s how Associated Press framed the story:"
The killing of a nursing student out for a run highlights the fears of solo female athletes https://t.co/RYCpB53JmJ
— The Associated Press (@AP) February 25, 2024
. . . "So the AP wants to bring awareness to the “dangers” that female athletes face—does that mean I should soon expect reports on the dangers of mentally-ill males who get a pass to compete in female sports? Is AP going to be a voice for those females who have suffered severe injuries, concussions, and losses to physically-dominant males? I seriously doubt it.
"Aside from the nearly unbelievable example of gaslighting this article was, it points to another angle which we ought to consider, and that is how obsolete the AP really is. A news agency spreading fake news and acting as an propaganda apparatus for a regime is bad enough, but the very mission of the AP was, originally, to combat the suffocating costs of global news delivery. Yet, with the internet, that’s no longer an issue, and the AP has no legitimate purpose to continue its operations; now, it crushes competitive journalism and independent media, and, as evidenced by Har’s reporting on Riley’s murder, we see again how it’s a hub of disinformation, disseminating false narratives out to the masses via its spokes."
