Cautionary Tales of Disarmament

There are two groups of people right now that are being pushed to disarm. First we might look at the PKK in Turkey. The PKK are Kurds who have the misfortune to live in the Islamic country of Turkey, and for some unfathomable reason Turkey has been a NATO member since 1952. The history of Turkey’s treatment of the Kurds in their country is quite remarkable. Horrible, but remarkable.

Human rights of Kurdish people in Turkey

Notables include tens of thousands of Kurds murdered by Turkery, and as in Eastern Ukraine which banned the use of Russian language, dress, customs and holidays for the ethnically Russian population of Ukraine, Turkey banned

The use of Kurdish language, dress, folklore, and names were banned, and the Kurdish-inhabited areas remained under martial law until 1946. In an attempt to deny an existence of a Kurdish ethnicity, the Turkish government categorized Kurds as “Mountain Turks” until the 1980s. The words “Kurds”, “Kurdistan”, and “Kurdish” were officially banned by the Turkish government.Following the military coup of 1980, the Kurdish language was officially prohibited in public and private life. Many people who spoke, published, or sang in Kurdish were arrested and imprisoned.

Another Dark Year for Kurds in Turkey Under the Current Leadership

On March 20, the United States Department of State (DOS) released its annual 2022 Country Report on Human Rights Practices. Turkey’s section shed light on the numerous violations of the Turkish government against various minority groups, the lion’s share of which targeted Kurds. A non-exhaustive list of the Turkish government’s atrocities against the Kurdish population includes military operations against civilians, restrictions on freedom of speech, jailing politicians, attacks on the press, and forced displacement of civilian populations.

This has been going on a long time. But now the PKK has decided to disarm. Actually Erdogan is in a bit of a pickle. His popularity seems to have dipped enough he’s followed places like Ukraine and certain states in the U.S. who attempt to prevent elections due to ________ or imprison, kick off the ballot or kill their political opponent as some states in the U.S. did.

Kurdish militants say they’ll disarm in favor of politics. Will Turkey respond?

On the Turkish side, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said the PKK decision was “historic” and “opened another critical chapter on our path toward a terror-free Turkey.” The PKK is designated a terror group by Turkey, the United States, and European Union.

Yet Turkey’s long-standing leader also has his own domestic reasons for embracing the end of insurgency, as he looks for legal ways to secure a third term in 2028, says Ms. Aydıntaşbaş.

While [Erdoğan] looks very powerful, he also can sense that there’s a significant drop in his popularity,” she says. “His secular rivals like the mayor of Istanbul – who he imprisoned – are gaining ground. He still has to win elections and push through constitutional changes to extend his reign. All that requires Kurdish support.”

So the deal is, Erdogen wants more power, he thinks he needs the Kurds to achieve that. Supposedly with the PKK laying down their weapons they will now begin to try to achieve their goals through diplomatic and political paths. But since the Erdogan regime isn’t being real forthcoming about some of these plans, the Kurds quite correctly have some trepidation about the disarmed future. But they did it, they had a big old disarmament ceremony.

Let me see, Turkey has controlled and abused them for 40 years, and now that they’re disarmed and they’re defenseless things are going to get better under the Islamic dictator Erdogan? If they treat you like that when your armed, how exactly do you think long term this will turn out when you’re defenseless?

Next we move on to Syria.

The Curious Case of Mouaz Moustafa

December 2024 marked a stunning turning point in Syria’s bloody civil war. After poison gas attacks, mass killings, rape, torture, and abductions left millions displaced and hundreds of thousands dead—and turned Syria into a veritable wasteland in desperate need of foreign aid and investment—the regime led by Bashar al-Assad finally collapsed.

In its place rose a new government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the former leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a designated terrorist organization once affiliated with al-Qaeda. While many cheered al-Sharaa’s ascendancy, others worried that his jihadist history would put religious minorities, especially Syria’s Alawite population—which served as the base of support for the Assad regime—at risk.

And about 15 minutes later those worries were born out. There is a lot of documentation on this.

UN-Defended, from TZP, but there are others as well.

2025 massacres of Syrian Alawites

Syrian forces massacred 1,500 Alawites. The chain of command led to Damascus.

The abominable massacre of Christians and Alawites in Syria and the urgent need for an immediate and decisive EU response

Syria’s Transitional Honeymoon Is Over After Massacres and Disinformation

In Syria, Sunni Muslim militias are killing Alawites and Christians

EU disinformation on the murders of Christians and Alawites in Syria

Streets piled with bodies: Syrians report massacres of Alawite and Christian civilians’. The facts are devastating: reports point to a wave of killings in Syria targeting Alawites and Christians, including ten women and five children. On 10 March 2025, BFMTV reported that 745 civilians, mainly Alawites, had been massacred in the Latakia region between 6 and 8 March 2025 by Syrian regime forces and their allies.

However, in a statement of 8 March 2025, ‘diplomats’ from the European External Action Service (EEAS) completely ignored these ongoing massacres, attributing the attacks to ‘pro-Assad elements’. This is blatant disinformation that damages the EU’s reputation.

1. Can the Commission verify the EEAS statement that the recent attacks on civilians, including Christians and Alawites, are being carried out by ‘pro-Assad elements’ alone, or does it acknowledge that the new regime is involved in the massacres of civilians?

2. Has the Commission urged the interim Syrian Government to put an end to the massacres by government forces or Islamist factions of children, women, civilians and prisoners from the Alawite and Christian communities?

3. How much financial assistance has the new Syrian Government received from the EU since December 2024?

The HTS terrorist Al Julani who by now had received his CNN makeover ala Zelensky, said he would rein in his HTS terrorists. Luckily Biden’s auto pen had taken him off the terrorist watch list and removed the 10 million bounty on Al Julani’s head. Because nobody loves a terrorist like the demoncrat party these days.

Biden Admin Drops $10M Bounty for Terrorist Who Took Over SyriaThe Jihadists are our friends now.

But Al Julani said he would get a handle on these atrocities. Syria leader vows to hunt down those responsible for bloodshed. Then of course he did(nt).

But to be fair, Repubs love them some terrorists too. Although I’m willing to chalk this up to trying to curry favor with some other muslim countries that were pushing him to give the terrorist Al Julani a break. Trump Lifts Sanctions on Syria to Support ‘Path to Stability and Peace’

But the point with all that is the world and the UN were well aware of the slaughter of Alawites and Christians taking place in Syria and their rapid response was????? Nothing. The only country that helped them at all was Russia. The sheltered some at a military base. Those that could make it there anyway. The world and the U.N. had absolutely no interest in the slaughter of Alawites and Christians by Islamic terrorists. At least not enough to do anything.

More than 1,000 killed in Syrian crackdown on Alawite region, war monitor says

Several hundred, mostly women and children and elders, sought refuge at a Russian Mediterranean military base at Hmeimim in Latakia, according to footage from the scene and two people familiar with the matter.

Which brings me to my next point Alawites and Christians Slaughtered: Syrian Massacre Death Toll Reaches 7,000

At the same time, another Greek MEP, Emmanouil Fragkos, filed a request to the European Public Prosector’s Office for a European Arrest Warrant on Syria’s so-called president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, and the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group for Crimes Against Humanity, saying that the killings were “with the intent to reduce the population that does not express political support for the Al-Qaeda faction that has taken power in Syria.”

The killings have been so brutal and shocking that the Alawite leaders, once under the protection of Iran, the Assad regime, and Hezbollah, appealed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Save us from the brutal regime, we will welcome you with songs and flowers.” This appeal would have been unimaginable only last month, but the Alawites are now facing an existential threat that they now see Netanyahu as a protector after he warned the new Syrian regime that Israel would intervene if they attacked the Druze.

Well, I suppose at least the Greeks filed a strongly worded letter….but look at who the Alawites begged for help. Netanyahu and Israel. Why? Because Israel is a protector of the Druze. TZP discussed the Druze back in 2020 Shukran Druze 2020 if you want some history.

This fairly short video has some good information and history on the relationship between the Druze of Syria, Lebanon and Israel. And I believe there may be some in Jordan. The Druze are of the Abrahamic faith, and Moshe’s father in law was Druze. They have a strong tie in Israel, serving in the military and police forces. They are brave, honest and strong warriors. Perhaps you’ll remember last year a Hezbollah rocket his the town of Majdal Shams. The Druze didn’t take it kindly and basically told the Israeli government, you avenge our children, or we will. Unlike the American government, they have a firm grasp on how things work in the mid-east.

This recent attack on the Druze was started by Sunni Muslim Bedouin tribes kidnapping a young Druze fruit vendor. The Druze wanted him back and set about retrieving him. Hostilities erupted. The terrorist Al Julani government sent it’s government troops.

In May the Syrian terrorist government had begun demanding the Druze turn in their weapons.

Syrian Druze refuse to disarm citing fear of sectarian attacks by state force

Probably smart on their part.

Some 100 people were killed in the fighting, including the Druze mayor of Sahnaya, who was executed by members of the government’s General Security forces after welcoming them into the town.

Syrian authorities have negotiated agreements with Druze leaders to allow their local fighters to protect their own areas as enlisted members of Syria’s security forces, known as General Security, but this week, they asked that all weapons held by residents of these areas be turned in to the state.

We told them, as soon as there is a state capable of regulating its forces, we’ll have no problem handing in our weapons,” said Makram Obeid, a member of the Jaramana committee that is negotiating with the Syrian government.

Obeid told Reuters that his committee had advised government officials it would be better for them to focus on disarming the Sunni extremists in their own forces, who are now harassing minorities.

It’s our right to be scared, because we saw what happened in other areas,” he expressed to Reuters.

So when the most recent attack against the Druze began, they were doing their best to hold off the Bedouins, and then the terrorist government sent in their “security forces”.

The massacres and humiliation began.

Bodies and looted homes: Syria’s Druze reeling after Sweida bloodshed

One elderly man had been shot in the head in his living room. Another in his bedroom. The body of a woman lay in the street. After days of bloodshed in Syria’s Druze city of Sweida, survivors emerged on Thursday to collect and bury the scores of dead found across the city.

A ceasefire overnight brought an end to ferocious fighting between Druze militia and government forces sent to the city to quell clashes between Druze and Bedouin fighters.The violence worsened sharply after the arrival of government forces, according to accounts to Reuters by a dozen residents of Sweida, two reporters on the ground and a monitoring group.

Residents described friends and neighbours being shot at close range in their homes or in the streets. They said the killings were carried out by Syrian troops, identified by their fatigues and the insignia on them.

The National Hospital of Suwayda was attacked, every doctor, nurse and patient were murdered. The Syrian government terrorist is thanking Allah for being greater than the G-d of the Druze. The Druze do not consider themselves Muslims. If the video disappears from Twitter, I have the file.

This will come as a shock to no one except perhaps President Trump and Steve Witkoff. President Trump’s opinion of Al Julani?

Young, attractive guy, tough guy, strong past, very strong past – fighter. But he’s got a real shot at pulling it together,” Trump said.

Syrian regime forces execute Druze civilians, reports say: ‘Adopted brutal tactics’

Fierce fighting continued Tuesday in Syria’s Druze-majority province of Sweida between Druze fighters and armed Bedouin militias, who are reportedly receiving backing from forces loyal to President Ahmad al-Sharaa. Despite claims by the Syrian regime that it entered the area to restore calm, eyewitnesses say regime forces are aiding the Bedouins and participating in atrocities—including the summary execution of Druze civilians.

By this time the Druze of Israel and Lebanon had just about enough of this and began to head to Syria, on foot.

Israel had made an agreement with the Druze, they made it clear to the Islamic Syrian terrorist government, leave the Druze alone when Al Julani took over.

And so Israel made good. IDF strikes Syrian military headquarters and presidential palace in Damascus

They have also struck Al Julani’s terrorist forces on their way to increase their attacks.

Israel Lauches 160 Aerial Attacks in Syria, including Against Military Headquarters in Damascus

And….the media reacted rather predictably. Now I will admit, I was pretty shocked to see this headline from The National Pulse, they used to be pretty accurate. Israel Just Started ANOTHER War. Did they write anything about the innocent Druze civilians slaughtered? Nope. Anything about everyone in a hospital shot and murdered? Nope. Anything about the agreement between Israel and the Druze? Nope. Just “Israel Just Started ANOTHER war. “ They did however mention something about Netanyahu’s bogus and heinous trial going on…Talk about crap reporting.

What about the UN? Their diapers were all a-twist when Hamass claimed Israel bombed one of their hospitals, then it turned out, nope, oopsie! It was one of Hamass’s own rockets they were trying to shoot into Israel that had malfunctioned and landed in their parking lot…So surely the UN has expressed outrage to Al Julani? Surely the U.N. will help the Druze. Nope, no UN help, no US help even though the US enabled this bloodbath. No help from Lebanon who has a Druze population, no help from Jordan who has a Druze population. No, no it was only Israel that helped them. Why did it take Israel so long to respond to the threat to the Druze community? You saw the man’s frustration in one of the videos, my guess? President Trump. I hope I’m wrong, truly I do. I would hate to think he’s so busy clearing off the place on his mantle for his “peace prize” that he will continue to sacrifice the lives of innocent civilians as he has in Iran and now Syria by demanding “ceasefires” and telling Israel to stop winning and saving innocent lives. He needs to remember, “ceasefire” in Arabic is “regroup, re-calibrate, re-arm, reload, resume”. Not yanking Israel back would have allowed innocent Iranians murdered by the vengeful Mullahs to have survived. Almost all the Jews of Iran were rounded up, I’ve heard no updates on that. I’m sure Israel would have intervened quicker in Syria.

But the lesson, and I hope the Kurds won’t find out as the Druze have, you don’t disarm. You don’t trust the government to protect you, because who is going to protect you from your government when it comes to kill you. Lesson for Mamdani voters in NYC, just sayin’. Israel is good, and they are compassionate, but if you elect a 12er Islamist to rule over you…well. Bless your hearts.

But I will end on a joyful note, these are Druze in Syria, they are at the Governor’s house I believe. Do you notice a very recent addition to the Druze flag waving on the left side? Yes, someone has added a the Star of David to the flag.

Yes, indeed it appears somewhere in the world, Israel is loved and respected for saving innocent lives, in Suwaida, in Syria.

The Red, Green, White and Blue Alliance

I have truly been astonished at the reactions of some people since the joint American and Israeli effort to make the world a safer place. Iranian proxies have been attacking Israel for years now, and since October 7th it’s been something most countries will never go through. Iranian proxies have been lobbing missiles into Israel almost non-stop. Everyone has apps on their phone, and I’m sure some will have a horrible time recovering from trembling every time they hear a siren. I pray we never have to live like that here. In Israel you want to be able to get to a safe room in about 15 seconds. While Israel has been targeting nuclear bases, precision eliminating top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp members and nuclear scientists, Iran has been shooting their missiles at residential areas, and a hospital in Be’er Sheva (Soroka) that treated many of the falestinians. I have no clue why they do, but they do. Arabs are Jews worked there side by side for years, so the Iranian nutters shot a missile into it. Then apparently realizing that might be an “oopsie” they put out some kind of star wars graphic out saying there were tanks stored in it. Well, yeah, but in a hospital it’s tanks of medical gases, oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide…however that’s not what their star wars graphic showed. And, there are nutters that believed them. Not because it makes sense, but because they hate Jews. And they can rationalize any barbarity exhibited towards the Jews. Nutter Candace Owens has apparently gone completely around the bend. A friend of mine saw a video or a X post, something like that where she claimed the IDF is killing poor falestinian children when they come out looking for food. Apparently her ignorance level remains high as ever. But my friend commented what was even more disheartening was the amount of comments that supported her and agreed with her. If Jews are running the world, we need to do a much better job with our PR game. But to be fair, the media is as biased against Jews as it is Donald Trump. We need to find out which Jews control the media and have a gentle word. But Candace doesn’t know what she thinks. Short one minute clip.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has decided to expose the inadequacy of the educational system. She stated

I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs.”

Well,,,,,hmm, bless her little heart. Let me help you Marjorie…you ignorant twit because I’m quite sure there are many American families that were shocked to find out they don’t have missing/dead family members due to Iran. Because there most assuredly has been Iranian aggression towards America, going way back. It’s nice to know Marjorie remembers their sacrifice with such dignity. I’m surprised she didn’t check her watch when she made the comment ala Joe Biden when the service men he killed returned from Afghanistan. Here’s a helpful list. Iranian and Iranian-Backed Attacks Against Americans (1979-Present)

November 1979-January 1981: Iranian students — with the backing of Tehran — take 66 Americans hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

April 1983: A suicide car bombing kills 63 people, including 17 Americans, at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The Iran-backed terrorist group Islamic Jihad, a precursor and early branch of Hezbollah (not to be confused with Palestinian Islamic Jihad), claims responsibility.

October 1983: Operatives of the Iran-backed Hezbollah drive a truck bomb at a Marine compound in Beirut, killing 220 U.S. Marines and 21 other service personnel.

December 1983: Hezbollah operatives drive an explosives-filled dump truck through the gates of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City. No Americans are harmed.

March 1984: Terrorists kidnap CIA station chief William Buckley in Beirut, subsequently torturing and ultimately killing him in 1985. Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.

December 1984: Hezbollah terrorists hijack Kuwait Airways Flight 221 on its way from Kuwait to Pakistan and divert it to Tehran, killing two American officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

June 1985: Hezbollah terrorists hijack TWA Flight 847 en route from Athens to Rome and kill a U.S. Navy diver.

July 1989: Hezbollah operatives kill U.S. Marine Corps Col. William Higgins after kidnapping him the previous year while on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon.

April 1995: An explosives-laden van crashes into a bus near Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip, killing one American and seven Israelis. Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.

August 1995: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a bus in the Ramat Eshkol neighborhood of Jerusalem, killing an American and three other passengers and wounding more than 100.

February 1996: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a Jerusalem bus, killing three Americans and wounding three other Americans. A total of 26 people die in the attack.

March 1996: A suicide bomber blows up the Dizengoff shopping center in Tel Aviv, wounding two Americans. Twenty people die and 75 others are injured in the attack. Both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad claim responsibility.

May 1996: Gunmen kill an American-Israeli dual citizen in the community of Beit El in the West Bank. Another U.S. citizen and three Israelis are wounded. No group claims responsibility, but Israel suspects Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

June 1996: A truck carrying 5,000 pounds of explosives blows up the Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in the Saudi Arabian town of Khobar. Nineteen Americans die and some 500 people are injured. The Iran-backed Hezbollah Al Hijaz, a terrorist group in Saudi Arabia, is deemed responsible.

September 1997: Three Hamas suicide bombers blow themselves up at the Ben Yehuda shopping mall in Jerusalem, killing a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen and wounding seven other American citizens. Four other people die and nearly 200 are wounded in the attack.

August 1998: With the assistance of Hezbollah, al Qaeda suicide bombers almost simultaneously blow up the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people, including 12 Americans, and wounding thousands. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, al Qaeda developed “the tactical expertise for such attacks months earlier, when some of its operatives — top military committee members and several operatives who were involved with the Kenya cell among them — were sent to Hezbollah training camps in Lebanon.”

August 2001: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem, killing a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen and two other Americans. A total of 15 people die in the attack.

September 11, 2001: While the 9/11 Commission Report concludes that Iran had no foreknowledge of al Qaeda’s attacks on the World Trade Center, the report indicates that Tehran facilitated the travel of some of the terrorists. “In sum,” the report notes, “there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers.”

January 2002: Gunmen affiliated with the Iran-backed al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade kill a U.S.-Israel dual citizen and wound another individual in the West Bank community of Beit Sahur.

July 2002: A bomb planted by a Hamas terrorist kills five Americans at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University, killing five American students, including an American-Israeli dual citizen and an American-French dual citizen. A total of nine people died in the attack.

October 2003: Terrorists from the Iran-backed Popular Resistance Committees kill three U.S. diplomatic personnel in a bombing in Gaza.

2003-2011: Iranian-backed militias kill at least 603 U.S. troops in Iraq, according to the Pentagon. Iranian training and material support for Iraqi militias during the surge greatly increased the difficulty of U.S. forces to combat the insurgency and included some of the deadliest weapons used against American troops, including explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

August 2003: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a bus in Jerusalem, killing five Americans and wounding one other American. A total of 24 people died in the attack.

August 2006: Hezbollah fighters kill American citizen Michael Levin, a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), during the Second Lebanon War. He is the only American to die in the conflict.

January 2007: Twelve men affiliated with the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) disguised themselves as U.S. soldiers, entered the Provincial Joint Coordination Center in the Iraqi city of Karbala, killed five U.S. soldiers, and wounded another three. In 2019, the U.S. State Department issued a $15 million bounty for information on an IRGC Quds Force commander who planned the attack and other “assassinations of coalition forces in Iraq.”

July 2014: Hamas terrorists kill two Americans serving in the IDF during fighting between the terrorist group and Israel in Gaza as part of Operation Protective Edge.

June 2025: At least three U.S. bases in Syria and two U.S. bases in Iraq are attacked with missiles or drones, likely by Iranian-backed militias.

As well, maybe someone should explain to Marjorie what the word “proxy” means. Bless her little heart.

So we’re seeing people that at least initially were fine with supporting Ukraine, come unglued that less than a dozen, I’m guessing airplanes and some massive bombs were used to eliminate a threat that the President made clear in his first term he viewed as a big danger. Not the first time America has attempted to help people resist an evil regime by dropping things from the air. Although I will grant the bombs the B2s dropped aren’t the same as the FP-45 Liberator Pistols. Barry Soteros’ strategy for dealing with it by giving them pallets of money to distribute among their terrorist proxies didn’t seem to work, so apparently this President decided to try something different.

So people on the left like the Occasional Cortex and people on the right, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, also Occasional Cortexs and Tucker Carlson are very upset we helped an ally in the middle east. Fascinating. Of course, Qatar did sort of help Tucker out, like they did Steve Witkoff, but I’m sure the money makes no difference. I mean just because Qatar is where the leaders of hamass hid out when the pressure got too hot in Gaza after October 7th, and just because Qatar sends money to centers of higher learning, that may or may not have a distinct Jew hatred problem now, that’s probably unrelated as well.

Tucker smells a bit fishy

A Washington Examiner investigation found that U.S. journalists often published pro-Qatar content shortly after targeted lobbying efforts. One major success was Tucker Carlson’s interview with Qatar’s Prime Minister, which drew over six million views within hours. A new FARA filing reveals Qatar paid to facilitate the interview and provided pre-approved talking points on Iran. The PR campaign was run by Lumen8 Advisors, a U.S. firm paid $180,000 monthly by the Qatari Embassy for strategic consulting. The contract requires 13 days of work per month, mostly in Doha, and bars the firm from working with other Middle Eastern or North African governments without Qatar’s approval.

So people on the left and the right have finally found common ground, it’s fine for the Islamic regime to try to destroy the Jewish state the size of New Jersey and to threaten America.

Is anyone besides Israelis happy about the IDF taking out nuclear scientists and IRGC, and Basji thugs? Surprisingly yes.

An alliance that people might not expect is taking place. It’s an alliance between the Iranian people and the Jewish state. There was a rally in speech suppressed England over the weekend. They tried to hold a rally a few days before, but the IRGC thugs in England came and attacked many of the rally goers. Seven were arrested. One rally goer was sent to a major trauma center. Do you remember for about 5 minutes after October 7th, there were rallies in support of Jews and of Israel. Till the very well funded anti-Israel, anti-Jew groups sprang into action? Well, who marched along side in many of these Jewish rallies? Iranians. Holding the Iranian flag marched with the Jews holding the Israeli flag. So the group held another rally, with even more people despite being attacked violently only a few days before. This time it’s the Jewish community showing up to show love and support to the Iranian people.

I’ve got it set to start at the relevant point, truly inspiring.

The Iranian people who have lived under a more democratic form of government are not like the Iraqis that had never lived that way. I understand Reza Pahlavi is planning with others to return to Iran to help set up a temporary transitional government until the people can vote on what they want. But the Iranian people will have to rise up and do it from the ground up. Not a CIA lead regime change, but the Iranian people, the majority of which are not Islamic and don’t want to live under Islam. They want to be normal again. The Israelis have destroyed as much of the power structure of Iran as possible before President Trump declared a ceasefire. What that ceasefire will do to the chances of the Iranian people to overthrow the Islamic regime I don’t know. What I do suspect is President Trump doesn’t understand “ceasefire” is arabic for we’re rearming, regrouping and getting our proxies ready to take over for us for a bit. Then, business as usual. But that too will be up to the Iranian people. But as long as the Islamic regime remains in place, this will happen again. They are 12ers. And to bring back their 12th Imam, all the Jews have to be dead, world wide. Christians may convert or die. Either way, the world has to be drenched in blood. And I’m not sure how you make “peace” with that.

So now there is this fascinating alliance between the red, green and white flag of Iran with the blue and white flag of Israel.

Sara Netanyahu and I guess Bibi as well posted this beautiful graphic of the two lions watching the sun come up on better days.

Two lions watching for better days to come

Why wouldn’t the people of Iran want to go back to what life was like in the 1970s before Jimmy Peanuts aligned with the Islamic “men of god”, little g?

May their fight for freedom be blessed.

Memorial Day and Yom Yerushalayim 2025

Today is both Memorial Day, and Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day.

This is not a “Happy” Memorial Day kind of holiday. Memorial Day should be dignified, it is about paying respects to those who sacrificed all, who served with honor. How it morphed into a “Memorial Day Sale” kind of holiday or worse “Happy Memorial Day” kind of holiday is baffling to me. But I suspect public (lack of) education plays a role.

So I will give you a couple of musical tributes.

First Trace Adkins with Arlington

Then the late Toby Keith with American Soldier

I’m in awe of these valiant warriors that G-d created. That something inside of them that compels them to fight to protect their hearth, home and family. And I’m filled with disgust for those that abuse that nature.

All gave some, some gave all.

Yom Yerushalayim was also a day of battle. It was a great miracle, if you need background or history on what happened that great day, and some video clips (great ones) you can check out these previous columns. It’s the 28th day of Iyar. There are others, this is just a couple of them.

Jerusalem Day 2019

The Power of One, Yom Yerushaylim and Memorial Day

The results of leftist thinking and policies haven’t improved any.

And because I’m writing this, you know you’re going to get a video clip with the words that always make me cry in awe and with joy. הר הבית בידינו

Har HaBeyit BeYadenu, The Temple Mount is in our hands.

This one has good footage, English subtitles over the Hebrew words, and of course Motta Gur’s famous declaration. Around a couple of minutes.

For my second clip, Jerusalem of Gold, it has English subtitles as well.

The two do go together. Memorial Day and Jerusalem day, despite being half a world apart. Freedom, liberty and joy as embodied in Jerusalem Day are made possible in societies that hold those things to be of value, and are fought for by the heroes honored on Memorial Day.

I’m grateful.

Hostages

As the hostages are slowly being returned home to their friends and family that have been in agony while they were away, wondering if they would ever come home again, and if they did what kind of condition would they be in? Would they be able to heal from the mental and physical abuse they’d suffered while they were held in captivity?

I’m sure we all remember the videos that have come out of vile groups of terrorists and thugs dragging people out of their homes, no regard for whether it be man, woman, or child the treatment was dished out by barbarians with no moral compass.

Their treatment in captivity has been inhumane, it is something that should never be allowed to be repeated and there should be the most severe of consequences for those that felt completely safe to behave this way, to think it’s acceptable and possibly even lauded. And in cases it is lauded, which tells you all about the people they are.

Some have died in captivity, some died on the way to captivity. All because of their belief system. For tenets, values and beliefs they hold to be in their very core. And those beliefs are despised by the evil group that perpetrated such evil as hadn’t been seen for some time.

Now I have a question for you, who am I talking about? Who are the hostages? The innocent Israeli civilians or the January 6th political prisoners? Which is the evil group of thugs, hamass or the FIB and Biden’s crime regime of the DOI, Department of Injustice? Toss up applies to both. Lets have a look shall we?

Also killed that day were Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Phillips. Four people died that day, none of them were cops.

All were unarmed.

If you want and really interesting video on things I hadn’t heard from a Mother’s story of a J6er who son was arrested in Kenya. While he was on a hunting trip. Yep, the FIB went after this kid in Kenya. It’s kind of long, but really really interesting. And the young man from Montana saw some of the things linked above.

it’s about 2:19:16 long.

Captivity Conditions

The Israelis

Some hostages were held in tunnels without sunlight for 8 straight months

Israeli Hostages Reveal Harrowing Conditions Of Starvation And Exploitation Upon Return Home

We know the Israeli hostages were held not just by terrorists, but also by UN workers, Falestinian “doctors”, civilians and in hospitals, private homes and tunnels. So far, we know that much so far. They were denied food, water, basic hygiene and medical care. The prisoners were sexually abused and used as forced labor. They were psychologically tortured. They were allowed no contact with family.

The ones held in solitary were held in tiny cells, the food was frequently inedible and the drinking water was brown. I believe it was the head of the DC Gulag that said she hoped the J6ers would be sent to her prison. There are stories of the prisoners being tortured, physically and psychologically, denied medical care. I’m not sure how much contact they were allowed with family.

Misplaced Trust

The Israelis

I’ve written before that most of the Kibbutzim hit were left wing. The people there truly believed they could live in peace with the denizens of Gaza. Often hiring them for work and taking them to Israeli hospitals for treatment. At least one of the hostages certainly believed they could co-exist.

Levy was seen in a viral video from the attack that showed her in bloodied sweatpants being shoved into a vehicle. The footage raised concerns she had been sexually assaulted, though her brother said that in at least the first 50 days of her captivity, she was not a victim of sexual violence, The Jerusalem Post reported. Levy previously volunteered for the United Nations, Red Cross, and Hands of Peace — a group that promised coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.

You can not co-exist with people that hate you and elect a government to represent them that has in it’s charter they intend to wipe every Jew off the face of the earth. Nor can you make deals with them. The only people stupid enough to think you can are broccoli-brain Biden and Steve Witkoff.

The J6ers

They believed they had the right of free speech. They understood that the first amendment is setting down rights given by G-d, not man. They believed they were within their rights to go to a peacefully rally. I honestly don’t know that any of us, well, maybe the late Randy Weaver, David Koresh and his dead followers, realized how filthy and evil our own government could be. They certainly didn’t imagine they’d be set up by a corrupt, insider trading speaker of the house, the DC police and the DOI and FIB. Many of these people have been held in jail for 4 years without a trial. But needless to say, the Biden crime regime plunged the low of our country to a new depth.

Messing with the hostage releases

The Israelis

Civilians were supposed to be released first, not the way it’s playing out. A list was supposed to be given to Israel of who would be released, not the way it’s playing out. The filthy denizens of Gaza weren’t to be allowed to return yet, they’re already trying to get back in. Hamas is already back in, armed and wearing their hamass uniforms that have been in storage while they wore civilian garb. Steve Witkoff better get back over there and straighten them out. Arbel Yehud was supposed to have been released last Saturday. Hamass, said, well actually another terrorist group has her, we’ll have to get her back from them. Yeah? Really? Not our problem, give her over. Which they say they will do this week, in exchange for more terrorists and murders being released from Israeli prisons. I’m beginning to understand how Steve Witkoff wound up with a financially troubled hotel the Qataris needed to help him with. This leaves Hamass with 33 hostages. Govt. spokesperson: 8 of 33 hostages on Hamas list are dead. Since civilians were supposed to be released first I would have thought the women and young children would have been some of the first out, as they need more care, I was kind of surprised that the Bibas family haven’t been released. Those pictures were pretty well recognizable. A young mother, Shiri holding two little red headed babies, Ariel and Kfir. I suppose they might be holding on to them till last as there is quite a bit of emotion tied up in holding babies hostage. Those hamass terrorists are truly brave, no? Or, they are gone. I watched a video snippet of a man in a video conference call and during it he got a list of who was dead and who was alive. From his reaction, I’m kind of afraid they’re gone.

The J6ers

I foolishly thought when President Trump signed an executive order and said he hoped the hostages would be freed that night, they would be. Welp, nope, it’s the DC machine. Hostages have been moved to other areas where they have no family, no money, no cell phone and no one knows where they are. This is just one such case:

Message from the mother of J6 HOSTAGE Dominic Box:

“I was able to receive a call from my son Dominic Box this afternoon from a number I did not recognize and had to struggle to navigate another avenue of being able to deposit money to someplace in Kentucky in hopes that he would call back … thankfully I was able to talk with him briefly upon the 4th try …

I felt both happy to hear his voice and nauseous to know he was yet somewhere in the Midwest being held in a federal holding facility…

I cannot digest why this is happening to any person that was pardoned by President Trump 4 days ago.. Dominic’s voice sounded calm however exhausted.. He asked me if I knew ” what was going on?” And I had to say “”No” He stated that currently he came to this facility with only 4 other J6 men ..and they immediately separated them. Dominic stated ” this is the most horrible place I’ve ever been in my life” He stated that the BOP has guidelines that are not being followed under any sense of truth or justice..There are” 15 individuals all together and only 10 beds” and assumed he will be forced to sleep on the floor since he is new there . There is only “1 shower and 1 toilet inside the shower ” : ” We are given nothing .. not even a pair of socks” we “must pay for everything ” and I have nothing not even a toothbrush… ; they have only 1 telephone for all of ” us ” and there is a huge line .. ” I don’t know when I can call you back mom .. I love you ”

My eyes filled with tears .. and I began to pray again .”

Some of these prisoners are being held in other states, one was being held in Canada. Many still aren’t released. The DC gulag is still playing games, some of the men were roughed up before they were finally let go.

The Release

The Israelis

About 25 minutes long.

They were surrounded by armed hamass and yelling and jeering denizens of Gaza (known to the demoncrats and the media as “innocent falestinians” or “innocent civilians”) who have welcomed hamass back. The useless as tits on a boar hog Red Cross finally showed up in their shiny van. The Red Cross had refused all this time to deliver medications needed by the hostages. But for the cameras, boy howdy, the Red (double) Cross was there!

While I am exceedingly grateful the few captives that have been released are free, the terrible deal forced on Israel by Puddin’head and Steve Witkoff virtually guarantees more hostages will be taken, and more innocent Israelis killed because it pays off big time. In fact with the colleges “globalize the intifada” campaign, really anyone can be a hostage. I pray all the captives come home soon, alive. I can only imagine the pain the family and friends have suffered for well over a year.

The J6ers

As with the Israeli hostages, this is a pain no family or friend should have to have suffered. What these people have suffered at the hands of an American terrorist group beggers belief. While there are some videos of the J6ers being released, if it’s a “news channel” video covering it, they seem to focus more on the “violence” the “riot” the “insurrection” etc etc blah blah blah. So I will give you this one off of Twitter. This woman didn’t realize her son was coming out. This is the cry of a soul that has been tortured for a very long time. Just wounded beyond belief. And honestly, when I hear it, I feel tears welling up and I don’t even know these people, and they are just one family in over 1500, some of who have lost homes, marriages, families, businesses and some couldn’t take the pressure and committed suicide.

https://x.com/i/status/1881674172432285828

Final thoughts

This can never be allowed again, not hamass, not this kind of horrible deal brought about by pressure from incompetent negotiators, or weak leadership. And I’m not discounting the horrible pressure the government has been under from the families and the left who facilitated it by trying to split the country prior to the invasion to depose Bibi. They played a big role too. The left in Israel, like the left in America don’t care if their country is destroyed so long as they take down the currently in office right wing government.

The total lawlessness of the DOI and FIB can not go unpunished. Everyone from the capitol police, Pelousy, the complicit demoncrats, the sham J6 committee who destroyed evidence, the head of the prison board (who has been fired, don’t care) the warden and the employees. Anyone who abused the political prisoners needs to be held to account. Officers that murdered innocent J6ers need to be tried for murder. There is no statue of limitations on that. There is video, it needs to be done. If it’s not, and there are no repercussions, you can bet your sweet bippy that it will be done again. After all, it had been done before with no consequences except a promotion by Christopher Wray for it’s architect. A week after the alleged Whitmer “kidnappers” were arrested, FBI Director Christopher Wray promoted D’Antuono to head of the Washington DC field office, conveniently placing him in Washington before the January 6 riot. The Whitmer ‘kidnapping hoax’ is on the brink of collapse…

There is a video by J6 political prisoner and sort of spokesman Jake Lang called “Weaponized”.

And since this is International Holocaust remembrance day and the left is still all atwitter (yeah I picked that word on purpose) about Elon Musk’s supposed “nazi salute”, may I just point out Macron of France? The left wasn’t upset about his, but then Macron doesn’t enable or support free speech. So.

A Season of Light

We are fast approaching Hanukkah (and Christmas) both of which center around light, though for much different reasons, both also have a theme of freedom, though also for far different reasons.

But what is common, is spreading light tends to reveal things that had been hiding in the darkness, in the shadows. It seems like so much has been happening lately to shine the light on cockroaches that have been hiding in many many places. So I thought it might be interesting to shine the light of a few of them myself. After all, even a little bit of light that is shining in a dark room makes a big difference.

While these things are not all related, some are part of a common theme.

To start with, a 560 page report by the Final Report of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Committee on Oversight and Accountability from the House of Representative has been released. It’s a pdf for your reading pleasure. Numbers 6 and 7 are pretty good.

6) The Constitution cannot be suspended in times of crisis and restrictions on freedoms sow

distrust in public health.

7) The prescription cannot be worse than the disease, such as strict and overly broad

lockdowns that led to predictable anguish and avoidable consequences.

Shines a light on our “public health” system doesn’t it? Also explains why “Trust the experts” has become a punch line in a joke, along with “doctors say”.

You wonder if the Biden crime family continues to be vengeful and evil towards those it despises even while pardoning the great connoisseur of art hookers, Hunter? You wonder why with the massive budgets our federal law enforcement agencies can’t find the missing children talked about in hearings? This is why. Grandmother of Five Arrested Last Week and Shackled In Leg Irons For Meandering Around Capitol on January 6th! SPITEFUL BIDEN REGIME IS STILL HELLBENT ON PUNISHING TRUMP SUPPORTERS!

A nearly blind grandmother of five from a small farm in Missouri was arrested by the FBI almost four years after January 6th for alleged “misdemeanors” as the fallen Biden Regime makes a mad dash to punish more Trump supporters before they lose power.

The FBI arrested Suzan McClain on Thursday, December 6, 2024, for misdemeanors committed almost 4 years ago on January 6, 2021. The FBI agent who arrested her is normally assigned to a sexual crimes task force. He is supposed to be pursuing child sex traffickers, but the children being held in captivity will have to wait on the backburner because SuZan McClain trespassed four years ago.

….

She is not accused of committing any specific acts of violence or vandalism. She entered the building, meandered around, and exited peacefully.

.

The FBI agent told her that he had been with the FBI for many years, but this was his first-ever misdemeanor arrest. Because she is undergoing treatment on her retinas, SuZan cannot drive long distances by herself, and the federal court is a four-hour drive from her home. So the FBI agent had to drive an hour each way to pick her up and then drive four hours to and from the court. They were in court for over five hours, so the FBI agent spent over 15 hours dealing with SuZan. This is in addition to the many hours he spent building the case against her and the hours he will spend assisting the DOJ in her prosecution.

The whole thing is a travesty, and if nothing else should convince anyone never to vote for anything with a D behind it’s name. The R behind the name needs to be on a case by case basis. Sure shines a light on the two tiered justice system and Merrick Garland and Chris Wray’s priorities doesn’t it?

Hypocrisy on full display, after many years of calling Donald Trump “Hitler” a pair of show hosts from the propaganda wing of the Demoncratic party called MSDNC decided they would go literally meet with Hitler. A man they’ve vilified for years they suddenly decide to go have tea with and sit down and chat. Then they were shocked when all the people (all 12 of their viewers) were outraged they’d have tea with a man they were now convinced is evil incarnate. They may not be the brightest crayons in the box. If nothing else this should shine a light on how they lie, and they know they’re lying.

You think our neighbor to the South is a hot mess? In a move to try to compete Justin Turdeau of Canada said “Eh? Hold my beer” and flew to Mar-A-Lago to explain to DJT that 25% tariffs if he doesn’t shut off the illegal invaders flooding into our country is unbearable. DJT generously offered to make Canada the 51st state and Turdeau could be the governor. Trump trolls PM Justin Trudeau as the ‘governor’ of the ‘Great State of Canada’ amid tariff talks

Justin Turdeau, Governor of the Great State of Canada

Apparently the Turdeau regime felt the need to show his power and flex his girly muscles and show everyone who his daddy (Fidel Castro) is.

Canada Literally Confiscating Citizens Guns, Sending to Ukraine to Kill Russians

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada has fallen into the abyss of tyranny.

Although the Trudeau governments faults are numerous and date back years, a new development — gun confiscation — can be added to the list.

….

LeBlanc said, “324 unique makes and models of assault-style firearms” which are now on, “the list of prohibited firearms in Canada.”

This means these firearms can no longer be legally used, sold, or imported in Canada and can only be transferred or transported under extremely limited circumstances,” he said.

….

In a remark that is beyond parody, LeBlanc told Canadians their seized guns would be going to Ukraine.

As part of that process, the Government of Canada has committed to the Ukrainian government to identify whether some of these guns could be donated to support the fight for democracy in Ukraine.”

This is what happens when you have bureaucrats that are so stupid they believe their own gun control lies. I’m wondering who in Ukraine is going to have the balls to tell the Turdeau clown show that just because they call them “weapons of war” semi-automatics on a battlefield are going to place the ones carrying them at a significant disadvantage. I would maintain with Turdeau heading the government that Canadians should hang on to their weapons as it looks like barring DJT annexing Canada they may have their very own fight for democracy looming. Tyrants never want to face an armed populace and seeing how they behaved during the trucker’s demonstration I don’t think they’re far from that. I guess this shines the light on Turdeau and Canadian decent into dark places.

A humorous side note, look like Politico may have believed DJT was serious about annexing Canada. Shining the light on #FakeNew idiots.

And now a look at one of the most bizarrely developing series of events I’ve seen. Israel was attacked on 7 October 2023. Honestly it seemed like the anti-Israel and Anti-Semitic attacks began within days. I mean as in less than a week. All these little Keffiyot clad, incredibly ignorant little activists began marching around colleges chanting the propaganda lines they’d been fed. Ask them what river and what sea? They haven’t a clue. The cute little boy with the hip hugger pants and crop top holding the “gays for falestine” placard also needs to go over there, he could help the poor falestinians by working in a refugee camp. I’m guessing he could get by with a one way ticket. They slandered Israel and attacked and intimidated Jewish students. Students became afraid to wear symbols of their faith even as keffiyehs marched proudly all over, worn by girls in miniskirts with the black & white draped over the heads. Yep, insert eye roll here. In the Syrian civil war the figure from a March 14th, 2024 article states the death toll Syria War Death Toll Over 507,000, 13 Years On. The Lebanese civil war (in which the falestinians played a big role in starting) Lebanese Civil War

Throughout the war’s duration, more than 100,000 people were killed, nearly 1,000,000 displaced, and several billion dollars’ worth of damage to property and infrastructure sustained.

How many colleges had little villages set up then to grieve for the poor poor brown people being genocided? Oh, none. The Jews had nothing to do with it, there for it was all “over there”. But why were the poor falestinians in such dire straights? Because this is how they treat the countries that take them in. Were there marches in the streets and takeovers of college buildings after Black September?

Following Jordan’s defeat in the Six-Day War and loss of control over the West Bank, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) began to launch attacks from Jordanian territory. These provoked Israeli counterattacks, threatening the peace King Hussein hoped to achieve with Israel.

PLO head Yasser Arafat ignored Hussein’s warnings and hoped to gain control over Jordan with the support of Egypt and Syria. Fighting between Jordan’s army and the PLO began in November 1969, but Hussein hoped to avoid an escalation.

The Palestinians gradually built up what amounted to a state within the kingdom. They controlled the refugee camps, smuggled in weapons that they openly brandished, ignored officials of the Jordanian government, and undermined Hussein’s authority. The king attempted to negotiate an understanding with the Palestinians, but they were unwilling to compromise and defied his authority.

The final straw for Hussein occurred when Palestinian terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) flew three hijacked planes to Jordan on September 6, 1970, and blew them up on the 12th after releasing the passengers. From that point on, Hussein’s forces increasingly clashed with the Palestinians, who were openly trying to depose him. He declared martial law on September 16 and deployed his troops to Palestinian-controlled areas.

Campus riots after that? What? None?

This is a great 4 minute summation of what happens to the countries that take in the poor poor falestinians.

These college students are so ignorant and uninformed, but they are all in by golly!

The Ivy League these days
Hamilton Hall

Shining the light on the ignorance achieved by “higher indoctrination”.

But there are some that have learned. And that knowledge cost them very dearly and very painfully, and I pray they can be made whole.

Rescued hostage Luis Har: My views have completely changed since I was kidnapped

Har detailed the brutal abduction from his home in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak on October 7, 2023, moments of crisis, the rescue, and his new life after captivity.

“My views have changed drastically since October 6 and until today. I don’t trust any of them [in Gaza]. I know, in some way, they’re all involved. They’re born into hatred. Weapons are put in their hands already as babies. They don’t care about sacrificing their children if it means killing Jews. That’s their way of life,” Har told Webber.

To achieve dialogue and coexistence, it would take generations of proper education where hatred isn’t taught. That doesn’t exist right now. There’s no one to talk to, even if we wanted to be righteous and good. Before I was abducted, I wanted to live here in peace and coexistence. We don’t hate. We genuinely try to move forward.”

As I’ve said before, the Kibbutzim that were attacked were leftist. Secular, they believed in living at peace with the Gazans and often gave them jobs and took them to Israeli hospitals for treatment. They know better now.

The media is complicit as well. Listening to Douglas MurrayThe first and most important job of a journalist is and should be to tell the truth. Today, that seems to have been forgotten

As the guest of the NGO-Monitor at a recent event, Douglas Murray, a highly respected public intellectual, related his encounters with journalists and the media who promote what he calls “fake news”. The first and most important job of a journalist is and should be to tell the truth. Unfortunately, as Murray explained, many so-called journalists are simply propagandists for left-wing and anti-Israel causes.

Welcome to the informational circus which media and newspapers around the world promote as “the free press,” an essential ingredient of every democracy. He cites, for example, the BBC, the NY Times, the Washington Post, and Haaretz, which portray terrorist organizations, such as Hamas, as “freedom fighters.”

Instead of clowns to amuse you, there are anti-Israel journalists. The goal, however, is the same: to create a different reality. The war against Hamas, they propose, is not about terrorist atrocities, but Palestinian Arabs who are victims of “Israeli genocide and war crimes.” It’s not about Islamic terrorism, but the denial of Palestinian Arab self-determination and statehood. It’s about “Israeli terrorism,” “the occupation,” and “ethnic cleansing.”

As Murray observes, this is a new form of Nazism in which the victims are Palestinian Arabs, not Israelis. Palestinianism has become a new civil rights movement that supports terrorism and seeks to destroy Israel. “Palestinian Arabs are starving,” they claim, while Hamas steals the supplies that are sent into Gaza and murders those who oppose them.

NY Slimes

So, about that genocide,

According to the CIA World fact book, the population in Gaza has increased by 2.02% since Oct 7, 2023. Facts vs opinion! There is no genocide in Gaza. No intent or actions by Israel to conduct a genocide. Actually the opposite, Israel has done more to protect civilians and care for civilians in Gaza while Hamas does everything to get civilians killed and to keep the aid Israel floods in from them. Amnesty International and others only weaken the rule of law and make it harder for the laws (redefining it) and courts to hold actual violators to account.

Genocide Fail

For a country that does most things really quite well, Israel is a spectacular failure in the genocide department. Either that, or they don’t know what the word actually means.

And so we shine the light on media malfeasance. They aren’t even news media, they’re an agenda driven broadcast system for the most part.

There are good things to shine the light on as well. Sadly Luis Har saw the evil for what it was only after it was too late, but there are members of the tribe that see it, and are taking positive steps.

A Jew’s Unexpected Journey Into the Gun Shop

I walked into AJ’s gun shop.

I turned to my wife, Sam, with a weird smile on my face. She looked back at me, like, “What the hell are we doing here?”

We’re New York Jews in a gun shop. What do we know about guns? We know about bagels, about Roth IRAs, about Hamantaschen … but guns?

What kinda gun are you looking for?” asked Adam, the owner. No clue. “You want something for bears? For deer? Target practice?” We didn’t know how to answer.

We’re Jewish,” Sam said.

Adam stared at us for a moment, sizing us up, an uneasy tension in the air. Then, spoken with clear confidence, he said, “You’re gonna want a nine-millimeter Beretta and pump-action shotgun.”

I never thought I’d be a gun owner, but I also never thought I’d be woken up by my wife on the morning of October 7th, with her saying: “Israel was attacked. It’s bad.”

Which brings me to my closing thoughts. I was recently so very fortunate to attend a lecture entitled “The Eternal Nation”. All of it was wonderful, from a wonderful Rabbi. But the point I want to hit here is when he talked about ability, capability. As our couple in the last mentioned story did not feel they were able, capable to be gun owners. Guns have nothing to do with Oznei Haman, or Hamantaschen. The Rabbi said we are all believers, we are descendants of believers. He said G-d has given us the means to save ourselves (I don’t think the Rabbi was talking about guns exactly) and that we shouldn’t just believe it will get better, we should do our part to make it better. The lecture was on the rise of antisemitism since October 7th . He said the question isn’t “What will be?” but rather “What will we do?” Because greater evil always attacks greater good. After October 7th the IDF had a percentage of their reservists they needed to show up, and many were out of the country. 150% showed up. On their own. These are people that know what they shall do. So we don’t let the terrorists into our minds, We don’t allow our light to recede. We increase our prayer and acts of good deeds. He pointed out it’s not about our abilities, He asked if we thought Avraham, Yitzhak, Yakov, Yosef and Moshe all thought they were capable? He said no, they didn’t. But they were willing. If we are willing, G-d can make us capable.

David ben Gurion said “In Israel, in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.” And even secular people are beginning to see light. He told the story of a religious soldier in a totally secular unit. His commanding officer was totally secular. But one day the officer came to the religious soldier, very tense and upset. He pulled the religious soldier off duty and told him whatever those prayers you pray, pray them now. Pray all the prayers you’re suppose to pray, pray all the prayers and keep praying them until I come tell you to stop. That’s all you’re to do, pray!! The soldier prayed and prayed for 15 minutes with deep intensity, not even knowing what and why this request was made. Eventually his commanding officer came back. Calm, relaxed and happy, and he told him. There was a group of 3 APCs Armored personnel carriers and they had fallen into a rubble trap set by hamass. They lack the real armor of a tank, and were immobilized, basically, sitting ducks. If they came out of the units they would be picked off. Finally the lead APC figured something out and was able to move and told the others how to do it and so they all 3 escaped. Five men in each carrier, fifteen lives at stake. The secular officer said he couldn’t think of a single thing he could do to save his men. Nothing, he was beside himself. Then he thought of his religious soldier and the soldier prayed, and they were saved. Talk about spreading light! Boy Howdy! We’re like olives, sometimes life events seem to squeeze us till we feel there’s nothing left. But that’s when the olive gives it’s oil. The oil that spread light, and just a little light in a dark room makes a big difference.

There is much light shining on many things and areas right now. Some of the things being illuminated are not pleasant to see, but some we need to see before we get blindsided. So we are willing, and then we can see what G-d will make us capable of. May our lights shine bright and with joy!

It’s Not Really About Guns or Justice

Over the last couple of weeks or so, as the top stories of the day make their way through the news a couple of things have become clear, to me at least. But maybe I just need more coffee.

Story #1

The Daniel Penny trial. Mr. Penny is a Marine veteran who was minding his own business on one of the dangerous subways in New York City. How dangerous? Dangerous enough the mentally defective governor of New York ordered 750 national guardsmen to help patrol the subway system. With numbers that shock no one, sanctuary city New York has seen a 45% increase in subway arrests since 2023, and that number is from March of this year. But the poor deranged governor wants to correct large government policies by ignoring common sense and enacting even more government policies that won’t help. Her brilliant plan?

The new deployment adds to the additional 1000 NYPD officers ordered into the subway last month to conduct bag checks and follows the slashing of a conductor and other high profile crimes.

Hochul is also calling for people deemed to be too dangerous by a judge to be banned from the subway. She is pushing for a state law that allows judges to block a person from riding the subway or buses for three years if they are convicted of attacking a passenger.

So why is that so stupid? Well, back to the Daniel Penny trial. Mr Penny is on a subway when Jordan Neely a homeless, mentally ill man high on synthetic pot boarded. Mr Neely had quite the history.

According to the Post, Penny’s defense called New York court clerk Brian Kempf, who told the court that authorities had an open warrant for Neely’s arrest related to an assault conviction in 2021.

As part of a plea deal, the Post reported, Neely had agreed to participate in intensive outpatient therapy to avoid prison time for the conviction. But Neely left treatment, and a judge issued a warrant for his arrest.

That was in February 2023, according to Fox News. It was just two months before the fatal encounter on the Manhattan F train.

In other words, a police officer who encountered Neely engaged in any one of his customary criminal acts (he’d had 42 arrests between 2013 and 2021, according to Newsweek) could have run his name and found a court order to take him into custody.

But that didn’t happen, just like want the poor dear that’s governor of New York won’t happen either, because New York only arrests law abiding people for defending themselves and others, or people they don’t like. They prosecute those too.

Neely got on the subway car and began making threats. According to Mr. Penny the conversation went something like

“Some guy came in, and he’s like with his jacket off and he’s like, ‘I’m gonna kill everybody. I’m gonna go to prison forever. I don’t care,'” Penny said.

This seemed to have created some consternation among the other passengers trapped below ground in a metal tube.

And Penny had good reason to be concerned.

In the year before Neely’s death, more than 20 people had been shoved onto the subway tracks in New York City, FOX 5 New York reported previously — many of them by mentally ill homeless suspects.

The other passengers who were suppose to be prosecution witnesses testified at the trial, after all, they had a front row seat.

But a host of prosecution witnesses, Penny’s fellow passengers, knocked massive holes in that tale, as one after another veteran subway rider described how terror-stricken they felt while trapped in the train car with the angry, unstable, threatening Neely.

One woman said she “was scared s–tless” by Neely’s behavior and recalled him yelling: “I don’t give a damn. I will kill a motherf—er. I’m ready to die.”

She stuck around after the ordeal to thank Penny for defending her and everyone else in the car that day.

Another, a high school student, said she was “so nervous” that she feared she “was going to pass out,” and said she didn’t hear other passengers’ warning to Penny to let go of Neely during the struggle.

A third said Penny restrained Neely “so he wouldn’t attack anybody” — more proof that Penny was selflessly acting on behalf of others and a direct blow to lefty claims that his actions were racially motivated.

Add to that, Neely wasn’t dead when first responders got there.

According to The Daily Mail, two police officers confirmed that Neely still had a pulse when they arrived on the scene, but one witness, an NYPD Sergeant, testified that none of his team performed mouth-to-mouth on Neely because he was a ‘drug user.’

Per The Daily Mail:

He seemed to be a drug user.. he was an apparent drug user. He was very dirty. I didn’t want them to get… hepatitis.

If he did wake up he would have been vomiting. I didn’t want my officers to do that.

He was filthy. He looked like a homeless individual. You have to protect your officer,

I wouldn’t want my officer to get sick if the person throws up,’ he said.

So what did he die of?

Chundru, a former Miami-area medical examiner who now runs a private practice in Texas conducting autopsies in a half-dozen counties, said that he did not believe an air choke caused Neely’s unconsciousness and, therefore, did not cause his death.

Chundru said he found the cause of death to be “the combined effects of sickle cell crisis, the schizophrenia, the struggle and restraint, and the synthetic marijuana.”

Someone schizophrenic, high on K2 and involved in a struggle can die without a chokehold being involved at all, he said. Similarly, he said, if there were no health issues and the chokehold was the only factor, Neely would not have died.

Shades of George Floyd!! Goodness gracious Matilda! There was no gun involved, there was no murder, a bystander bravely put himself in harms way to protect the innocent on that subway, some of whom I’m quite sure couldn’t defend themselves, and what do the deranged leftist prosecutor (Alvin Bragg) and governor (Kathy Hochel) do? Go after the hero because I guess he didn’t just stand back and let the police handle it.

So what happens now when there are no bystanders willing to step into the gap and help fellow citizens in the hell hole known as New York City?

Story #2

Two Dead, One Critically Injured in Manhattan as Knife-Wielding Maniac Launches “Unprovoked” Stabbing Spree

To be completely honest about it, I’m not sure if a unprovoked is worse or better than a provoked stabbing attack. But the third victim, the woman also later died of her injuries inflicted by Ramon Rivera, a 51-year-old homeless man with a history of eight arrests. As the article points out, don’t confuse this stabbing attack with the one that happened a few days earlier, that was a different perpetrator. It’s almost like criminals in New York realize they won’t be prosecuted. Only former presidents and good Samaritans are of interest to Alvin Bragg.

Could someone have stopped it? I dunno, it happened very close to the area of another stabbing attack just a few days before, and the Daniel Penny trial is going on. So. Perhaps people see the “justice system” in action and think I want no part of that pile of bovine feces.

It’s like the left doesn’t want people to defend themselves, gun or no, self defense is never warranted if it’s going to injure one of their precious illegal invader future voters or a criminal. Apparently the longer the rap sheet, the better.

So what does the left think is justice? Probably nothing we would recognize as such. Which brings us to

Story #3

A verdict was reached in the Laken Riley murder case. I’m sure everyone knows Laken was a wonderful young woman. She was a nursing student in Georgia who had gone out for a run in an area where she had ran before. A few minutes after she started her run, an illegal invader named Jose Ibarra attacked her. So who is Jose Ibarra? He’s one of Kammie and Joe’s babies, an illegal invader into our country.

Ibarra entered the United States illegally through El Paso, Texas, in September 2022 and was released via parole just a day after being taken into custody, Fox News reported. In September 2023, Ibarra was staying for free at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York, which was used as a temporary migrant housing center. He then took a free flight from New York City to Atlanta, Georgia, paid for with federal money under the Biden-Harris administration, the New York Post reported.

Less than six months later in February, Ibarra killed Riley, an Augusta University nursing student, while she was jogging on the University of Georgia’s campus in Athens.

Riley struggled for 18 minutes for her life as she fought the illegal invader attempting to rape her until he finally killed her by smashing her head in with a rock, repeatedly.

So now a verdict has been reached in the murder trial. I’ve seen headlines that said things like justice for Laken. He gets life in prison. Again, 3 hots and a cot on the taxpayer dime.

No, no it wasn’t justice. Georgia is a death penalty state. He cruelly and callously murdered a young woman who wanted to spend her life helping others and all he gets is free room and board for life. So why didn’t he get the death penalty? Because he’s an illegal invader and one of Joe and Kammie’s babies. And the prosecutor is a fellow traveler, Deborah Gonzalez.

The district attorney who declined to seek the death penalty against illegal alien Jose Ibarra, the Venezuelan national convicted of murdering 22-year-old Georgia student Laken Riley, is a criminal justice activist and outspoken Kamala Harris supporter.

She “takes into account collateral consequences to undocumented defendants” when charging criminals.

You can tell a lot about a candidate by the company they keep. Vote Biden to Gonzalez – The Democrat for DA #athensga. #gapol pic.twitter.com/ujsGOINczu

Deborah Gonzalez (@DG4DA) September 15, 2020

Democrat DA Deborah Gonzalez only sought a sentence of life behind bars without the chance of parole, which the judge overseeing Ibarra’s bench trial granted Wednesday.

Although Georgia is a death penalty state, Gonzalez said pursuing the death penalty was not in the interest of “justice.”

So what else does little Debbie take into account?

“Our utmost duty is to ensure that justice is served and that the victim’s family is an integral part of the deliberation process. We understand that there will be those outside this office who will disagree with our decision and seek to exploit this case for political gain. However, the integrity of our judicial process and the pursuit of justice must always transcend political considerations,” Gonzalez said, according to local WRDW-TV.

Is that right Debbie? Well, what did Laken’s family say? What did they want to see done? What would have made them feel that “justice” had been achieved?

During victim impact statements, Riley’s mother, Allyson Phillips, implored Haggard to show “no mercy” in sentencing Ibarra. Addressing the judge, she said, “Your honor, I’m asking you to give Jose Ibarra the same thing he gave us when he […] showed no mercy when she was begging for her life.”

“Jose Ibarra took no pity on my scared, panicked, and struggling child,” the grieving mother said. “This sick, twisted, and evil coward showed no regard for Laken and human life. We’re asking the same be done to him.”

Riley’s father, Jason Riley, said, “The pain I feel is unimaginable,” and that he’s “haunted” by the fear she must have felt in her final moments. “The pain of not being there, not being able to protect her, is something I’ll never escape.” Riley’s sister, Lauren Phillips, cried as she pleaded for the stiffest sentence possible. “Jose Antonio Ibarra has completely ruined my life,” she said, hoping he receives a punishment that will “ruin his.”

The left cares far more about the illegal invaders, and criminals than they do honest law abiding citizens. Remember when the dims knelt in the capitol because a career criminal named George Floyd who was high on drugs and complaining he couldn’t breath died while being arrested?

Well, how many minutes have the knelt in the capitol for a victim of their policies and failure to do their jobs? Oh none? Right.

No guns were involved in any of these stories, what is involved is self defense and defense of others. Daniel Penny could and did, and he was arrested. The lack of someone stepping in if they had been able cost 3 people in NYC their lives. And the verdict in the Laken Riley trial clearly demonstrates the left has no understanding of the meaning of the word “justice” let alone how to execute it. But I’m full of helpful suggestions. For example, justice. Deborah Gonzalez thinks justice wouldn’t be served to ask for the death penalty for one of her illegal invaders who has been supported by American taxpayers since he illegally entered the country. Fine, now she personally pays for his upkeep for the rest of her life. Put some skin in the game Debbie. Because the rest of America has already put in too much, the Riley/Phillips family most of all in this case.

No Debbie, no you didn’t give a darn about what the victim’s family wanted. You just wanted to side with your leftist heroes Kammie and Joe. You don’t know the meaning of the word “justice”. Justice would be Daniel Penny getting a heroes thanks and a key to the city. Justice would be the first citizen that saw the Hispanic construction worker stabbed could have intervened and stopped it, however they needed to do that. Justice for Laken would have been no open borders and she finished her nurse’s training and went on to fulfill the letter she wrote in her diary to her future husband.

The left doesn’t understand justice and they don’t want it. They don’t care about people, they care about power for themselves. Justice?

Yom HaShoah 2024

Yom HaShoah (Heb. יוֹם הַשּׁוֹאָה – “The Catastrophe”) is the day Israel commemorates the victims of the Holocaust (the Shoah). The full name is “Yom HaShoah Ve-Hagevurah”— in Hebrew literally translated as the “Day of (remembrance of) the Holocaust and the Heroism.”

Sometimes you will hear people talk about Jews and the Holocaust. In the past it might be something ignorant such as “It was a long time ago, the Jews really need to let it go and move past it. No one is putting Jews in ovens these days”. This gave way to “It didn’t really happen you know” or “The Jews exaggerated the number of those killed”. How very wise General Dwight Eisenhower was. He had Congress (A legislative body from back when America had three distinct branches of government) and newspaper writers come to Europe to see and document the atrocities that had taken place in the camps.

From Hollywood to Nuremberg’: How three noted filmmakers used their cameras to document Nazi atrocities

General Eisenhower and the Documentation of the Holocaust

Professor Harry Reicher talked about an episode which occurred in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust. While liberating concentration camps and witnessing sights that “beggar description,” General Eisenhower ensured the horrific scenes were captured for posterity in graphic photographs and film. Professor Reicher asserted that he grasped the impact which visual evidence was to have in the Nuremberg Trials, and foresaw the era of Holocaust denial. Video clips of concentration camps were shown

This is a movie, a bit over an hour.

Eisenhower Asks Congress and Press to Witness Nazi Horrors

The first Nazi camp liberated by US forces was Ohrdruf, a subcamp of Buchenwald (the main camp would be liberated one week later). The 4th Armored Division and the 89th Infantry of the Third US Army entered Ohrdruf on April 4, 1945. When soldiers of the 4th Armored Division entered the camp, they discovered piles of bodies, some covered with lime, and others partially incinerated on pyres. The ghastly nature of their discovery led General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, to visit the camp on April 12, with Generals George S. Patton and Omar Bradley. After his visit, Eisenhower cabled General George C. Marshall, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, describing his trip to Ohrdruf:

The things I saw beggar description. … The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick … . I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.”

Seeing the Nazi crimes committed at Ohrdruf made a powerful impact on Eisenhower, and he wanted the world to know what happened in the concentration camps. On April 19, 1945, he again cabled Marshall with a request to bring members of Congress and journalists to the newly liberated camps so that they could convey the horrible truth about Nazi atrocities to the American public. Within days, congressmen and journalists began arriving to bear witness to Nazi crimes in the camps.

Clearly Eisenhower knew students from Columbia, Haavaad, USC and the like.

And now everything old is new again.

You think these little terrorist supporting mush brained students at elite universities are a new phenomenon? Nopper.

Roosevelt’s Address on the “Fifth Column”

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt took to the airwaves on May 26, 1940—before the French army had even surrendered—to criticize those who closed their eyes to what was happening in Europe. He also warned of a potential threat to American security: “the Trojan Horse. The Fifth Column that betrays a nation unprepared for treachery.”2

According to Roosevelt’s address, a portion of which is featured here, the methods of these “spies and saboteurs” was “to create confusion of counsel, public indecision, political paralysis and, eventually, a state of panic…. The unity of the State can be sapped so that its strength is destroyed.”

And speaking of Columbia…this time in Missouri, not the pretend university. Note this was 1936.

“Nazi Exchange Students at the University of Missouri”

Priwer’s article prompted some of her classmates (whom Priwer describes as a “liberal group” of mostly non-Jewish students) to write to the American Jewish Council, asking the organization to expose the propaganda efforts of German exchange students. The resulting report (attached as an addendum to Priwer’s article) was circulated around the University of Missouri campus to warn students and faculty of a major campaign to influence their attitudes toward Nazi Germany.

Apparently, some of the nazis have continued to breed and have an impact at the University of Missouri even up until fairly recently. The latest example being the “journalism professor” Melissa Click who was attempting to throw journalists out of an event at the University by demanding students come help her, she “needed some muscle over here”. Melissa specialized in “audience studies, theories of gender and sexuality, and media literacy”. The University it taxpayer funded. Why? In the photo accompanying the article Melissa can be seen practicing her nazi salute. Actually that whole article is pretty interesting. It points out the attitude of “professors” at these taxpayer funded institutions.

And because outrageous behavior like this at taxpayer funded institutions hasn’t been addressed, it’s continued to fester and rot. Just a search on one, just one website for “Jewish Students” yields a couple of pages of results.

In my previous column I covered many of the abuses Jewish students are being subjected to on campus. These little terrorist sympathizing brain dead, specimens of human excrement have absolutely no self-awareness. None. Whatsoever. Meet Johanna King-Slutsky. No, I’m not, she’s a paid instructor. I guess that would be taxpayer paid instructor. Johanna is part of the takeover at Hamilton Hall.

Talk about unaware? She’s sympathizing with terrorists, terrorists that have indeed put Jews in ovens on October 7th. Infants no less, but that’s who Ms. Slutsky sides with, then in her revolutionary zeal demands the terrorist sympathizers be given food and water. Do we want them to die? Um, speaking strictly for myself here, while I struggle to remain neutral on the question, my kindest answer is don’t care, could go either way.

This is a part of the prayer said during every night for the counting of the omer.

We implore You, by the great power of Your right hand, release the captive. Accept the prayer of Your people; strengthen us, purify us, Awesome One. Mighty One, we beseech You, guard as the apple of the eye those who seek Your Oneness.

hamanazi captives

Four months ago in Israel over 1000 musicians met to record a song calling for the return of the hostages.

One of the other things I find interesting is they took hostages. Yep, the little hamass sympathizers took 3 janitors hostage. In another lack of awareness that FDR could have been alluding to in his speech, administrators still haven’t ended the little “Occupy Gaza on the Quad” zones. I don’t think it’s crossed their mind that they may be the next round of hostages. They truly are trying to copy their idols.

It’s been said by people far more learned than I, the Shoah didn’t start with Kristallnacht.

Constitutional Lawyer and Professor Emeritus, Harvard Law School, Alan Dershowitz, Threatens “Anti-Semites” on College Campuses With Lawfare—Says It’s Necessary to Deter Genocide of Jews

The specimens of human excrement running around campus (taxpayer funded) have long since turned in their “human card” when they choose to side with and support murders and butchers. Will I cut them slack because they’ve been lied to, manipulated and deceived? No. Because they’re about one lit match away from another “mostly peaceful summer of love”. Only this time they have specific targets in mind. It might be worth mentioning the aspiring terrorist’s motto “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people” and they are already chanting “Death to America”. Alan Dershowitz recently stated on a podcast that these little aspiring terrorists are going to become actual terrorists. He knew and defended domestic terrorists back in the 60s. He guarantees, some of this crop will follow the same path.

Apparently they don’t teach history at these elite institutions of higher indoctrination. A girlfriend sent me this picture. A tip of my Stetson, Christie, and it’s 100% accurate. The start of hamass and the muslim brotherhoood was the nazis. When the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, haj amin al-husseini, met adolph hitler they formed the start of those groups. The muslim brotherhood was active in Egypt till they were outlawed. I’m not sure, do you suppose that had anything to do with the decimation of the Coptic Christians in Egypt? Either way, remember where this actually started next time a leftist tries to tell you President Trump is literally hitler. Nope, it’s their team.

The hamanazi flag

In the Shoah, there were those brave Jews that fought back, there is a Ghetto fighters House in Israel. It’s actually the first Holocaust museum in the world, and the first to be founded by Holocaust survivors! It was established in 1949, and I’ve been there. Fellow writer Y.B. Ben Avraham tipped me off to it when I went in 2015. How could I not want to see a museum about Partisans? I spent hours there, just like a little sponge soaking up everything I could about these people that were represented.

Today we have Jewish students that have said, “Enough, we’ve flat had enough!”

Jewish UCLA student: ‘Jews of LA said enough is enough’

Local Jewish leaders blasted the deal, and several leading Jewish organizations called on Northwestern president Michael Schill to resign. The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) sued the university on behalf of the Young America’s Foundation (YAF), saying the deal violated civil rights laws by discriminating in favor of Muslim and Palestinian students and faculty, and discriminating against other students on the basis of national origin.

Fighting with love:’ Jewish students stand up, push back against campus antisemitism

In WWII, there was the Sophie Scholl and the White Rose Society.

Within the United States, Sophie Magdalena Scholl is not the best-known resistance fighter, but her story is a powerful one. She was a key member of the Weiße Rose (White Rose)—a resistance group run by students at the University of Munich who distributed leaflets and used graffiti to decry Nazi crimes and the political system, while calling for resistance to the Nazi state and the war. On February 22, 1943, she was beheaded for treason at just 21 years old.

Quite different character than Johanna King-Slutsky, eh?

Today, we have Frat boys. While their mission isn’t the same as the White Rose society exactly, speaking out against attacks against Jews, it is similar in that it’s a refusal to let terrorists take over their schools. Lately there’s been an outbreak of the Fraternities defending the flag, challenging the pro-terrorism students and even having a parade with America proud music and flags.

Fox News ‘Antisemitism Exposed’ Newsletter: Columbia calls NYPD, fraternity goes viral for defending US flag

Students at Rutgers University Stand Up to Anti-American Protests, Wave American Flags, Sing National Anthem

UNC Fraternity Brothers Rescue Fallen American Flag From Pro-Hamas Mob – Then Sing National Anthem

I might point out the GoFundMe someone started to throw them a keg party is over half a million dollars….proving my point. No more taxpayer dollars should be spent on institutions of higher learning. If they offered anything of value people would buy it on their own. Taxpayer money only makes it more expensive, they turn out brain dead anti-human robots, with useless degrees. Then when their gender studies in puppeteering doesn’t pay the rent or re-pay student loans a corrupt junta like the Biden crime regime will pay them off, thus financing terrorism and stealing another dip from hardworking taxpayers.

Should US Taxpayers Be Forced To Fund Universities That Allow Pro-Hamas Protesters Who Call For The Genocide of Jews On Their Campuses?

But wait, there’s more!

WATCH: NYPD Officers Dispose of Palestinian Banner and Raise the American Flag After Busting Pro-Hamas Protesters at City College

And this one I really love, Native Americans are weighing in.

Hamas and Supporters Are Not Welcome on Native Land!” – Native Americans Come Out in Force – Confront Pro-Hamas Mob at UCLA – Blast Pledge of Allegiance Over Speakers – Beat Drums in Support of Jews

Much like the Maori of New Zeland and Australia dancing the Haka to support Israel.

But this I love especially. Reporter bewildered by Chabad ‘Moshiach’ flag

During clashes between anti-Israel protesters and pro-Israel counter-protesters on Tuesday night at UCLA in California, one flag held by a counter-protester caught the eye of many.

The bright yellow flag was not that of Israel nor of the PLO, and certainly not the flag of the Hezbollah organization, which is similar in color. Instead, the flag flown by the pro-Israel counter-protester was the yellow “Moshiach” (messiah) flag of the Chabad Hassidic movement.

Perhaps this time it will be different, perhaps this time people won’t say, oh it’s not that bad. Don’t be thin skinned, perhaps this time people won’t put their heads in the sand.

But don’t worry about the little jihadi students. Apparently someone in Iran like my idea. Yes, yes indeed, they are Iran’s kind of peeps. Meanwhile their own peeps are standing in support with Israel. Which of course can get them killed. Yep, lets send the American jihadis to Iran for their free college!

Iranian college offers free tuition to US students expelled for participating in anti-Israel protests: ‘Our people’

If not Iran, perhaps they could consider increasing their employment chances by getting a job in a carnival?

Ivy League Grads Slip Below County Fair Carnies On Forbes List Of Most Desirable Employee Candidates

U.S. — Forbes has released its newest list of “Most Desirable Employee Candidates”, which saw Ivy League graduates slip down just below carnies and the people who wash car windows at stoplights.

“We surveyed the top 500 companies in the United States,” explained lead author Dan Rollins. “Employers consistently stated they would pass over a Harvard or Columbia grad for a guy with two years of experience operating a Tilt-A-Whirl. It’s been quite a shift.”

Heroes of Our Land

I read this little book this morning. It’s about some of the soldiers that have fallen in this war. It gives their name, the company they served in, when they fell, who they leave behind, has pictures of each of them. Interestingly it also includes their last letter home, a what if written before they went into battle. They are filled with such hope and love, for their families, their country, their home. Several of them made note in their letters if they were taken prisoner or their bodies were (because the noble falestinians take bodies for hostage knowing Israel wants to bury them according to Jewish law) they forbid their families to allow terrorists to be released to get them back. They say they want no part in allowing the war or terrorism to continue. The book is both inspiring and heartbreaking.

All I can say, is don’t let their sacrifice be in vain, don’t let the millions that died in the Shoah be in vain. May the G-d of Israel guard, guide and protect her and lead her to complete victory soon. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for the coming of Moshiach.

Georgia Has A Great Bill In The House

I saw a video recently that just made me salivate. Nope, not a new recipe to try, but it is something sweet and yummy.

I myself try to avoid places that are posted No Concealed Weapons. Yes, I realize the point of carrying concealed is that people can’t tell, but I figure if you don’t want “my kind” there, well then I certainly won’t offend you with my money either. The other reason I try to avoid them is it seems to me that most of the mass attacks are in gun free zones. It seems those pesky criminals don’t obey the sign clearly posted against having a weapon in their “Gun Free Zone”.

or, if you prefer a musical version (what the heck, I’m in a whimsical mood)

I’ve never quite really understood why businesses are responsible for slips, trips and falls, too hot coffee or a burgler breaking in and being injured. Yes, businesses have been sued for all those things. I would stay those are things the business really couldn’t prevent in large. Yes, if the sidewalk or walkway in front of the store is icy and they stay open for business they should clear it. And probably most business owners would do that without being told as they know if a customer falls on their icy walkway they risk a lawsuit.

But when it comes to allowing concealed carry on premises they shrink back and clutch their pearls. I’ve asked a few business owners about that and they’ve said their insurance company insists on it, but they don’t agree with it. I had one jewelry store owner tell me he had no problem with me carrying in his store and he wished I would that way if something happened there would be two of us. I guess nobody wants to be hauled to the back of a store and shot huh?

So back to Georgia’s HB 1364, it doesn’t infringe on the property owners rights, all it says if you deprive someone of the right to defend themselves with the most effective tool, then you bear the responsibility for their safety as you’ve chosen to remove their right to defend themselves should something untoward happens. This would also include parking lots.

Here’s a snippet

(1) ‘Lawful weapons carrier’ shall have the same meaning as provided for in Code

Section 16-11-125.1.

‘Weapon’ shall have the same meaning as provided for in Code Section 16-11-125.1.

A person, business, or other entity that owns or legally controls a property and has the authority to prohibit weapons on such property, including, but not limited to, such authority provided by Code Section 16-11-127, assumes absolute custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of a lawful weapons carrier who is prohibited from carrying his or her weapon, including a concealed weapon, while on such property and any other property such lawful weapons carrier is required to traverse in order to store or retrieve such weapon.

The absolute custodial responsibility imposed upon the person, business, or other entity provided for in paragraph (1) of this subsection extends to the conduct of other invitees, trespassers, and employees of such person, business, or other entity.

Any public notice posted on a property that includes language which provides that weapons are prohibited on such property shall also contain language citing this Code section and providing that any lawful weapons carrier who is prohibited from carrying his or her weapon, including a concealed weapon, while on such property shall be under the absolute custodial care of the person, business, or other entity that owns or legally controls such property.

Any lawful weapons carrier who is prohibited from carrying his or her weapon,including a concealed weapon, and who is injured, suffers bodily injury or death, or incurs economic loss or expense, property damage, or any other compensable loss as the result of conduct of another person occurring on property where the lawful possession of weapons is prohibited, shall have a cause of action against the person, business, or other entity that owns or legally controls such property and causes such prohibition to occur.

In addition to damages, the lawful weapons carrier shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness costs, and other costs necessary to bring the cause of action.

To prevail in an action brought under this subsection, the plaintiff shall show by a preponderance of the evidence that:

(A) The plaintiff was a lawful weapons carrier at the time of the incident giving rise to the action;

The plaintiff was prohibited from carrying a weapon, including a concealed weapon, on the property where the incident occurred by the person, business, or other entity that owns or legally controls such property; and

Every time I think about gun free zones, I think about Suzanna Gratia Hupp’s poignant testimony before congress.

This is a bill I’ve wanted to see in my state for a long time. If it’s the insurance companies pulling the strings, then shop owners really aren’t making their own choice anyway are they?

This one is on my wish list, along with a Firearms Freedom Act. There was a push for that back after Montana passed theirs.

This map is from 2019, so it is quite dated but that’s because I could only find this map web site in the web archive.

With what we’ve seen lately? I think it’s time to renew the push for this legislation.

Well, I figure everything started out on someone’s wish list, right? Ah I am in a whimsical mood indeed!!

Unexpected Allies and Well Known Enemies

Let’s do the enemies first, and I’m guessing there will be no surprises as to whom they might be, but some of the actions might not be as well known. Gosh I don’t know why major media outlets aka #FakeNews are laying off people left and right…/sarcasm font.

Biden choices in funding

While many nations around the world have stopped funding the antisemitic, anti-Israel UNRWA the Obiden crime junta actually has not. I list both, because one should remember, the goal of hamass is to kill Jews the world over, not just in Israel.

More Countries Suspend Aid To UNRWA After Allegations Employees Aided Attack On Israel

The United Kingdom and several other countries announced Saturday that they were suspending funding to the United Nations’ Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) after allegations that staff may have participated in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

Canada and the United States announced Friday that in the wake of the allegations they would temporarily pause funding to the agency, with the State Department saying that it was “extremely troubled by the allegations.” The U.K., Italy and Austria also followed suit this weekend and suspended their aid indefinitely, according to NBC News.

But not the terrorist funding Obiden junta, oh no. See, words don’t mean the same thing on the left as they do to normal people.

There’s a Major Catch to Biden’s ‘Pause’ on U.S. Aid to UNRWA After Terrorism Scandal

Similarly, you may have read that the Biden administration has frozen funds to UNRWA, the United Nations operation in Gaza, after explosive and credible allegations emerged that a dozen UNRWA employees were directly involved in the planning and execution of the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians. The Trump administration stopped funding this deeply corrupt organization back in 2018, then Biden quickly restored the money upon taking office. Now that this move has blown up in his face, Biden has belatedly and apparently temporarily stopped the cash flow to UNRWA. But as we saw with the Houthis climbdown, there’s a catch:

Wow.@JerylBier discovered that the State Department saying they were pausing funding to UNRWA only applies to new commitments. They plan to continue to use US taxpayer money to fund current projects despite evidence of the group abetting terrorism. https://t.co/zXIfqouXVV

On Friday, in response to allegations that employees of the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) had been involved in Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, the State Department announced that it had “temporarily paused additional funding” for the United Nations agency. The funding pause, however, applies only to new and additional funding, not funding already obligated before the pause went into effect on Wednesday, a State Department spokesperson told Pluribus. When asked for details on what obligations would and would not be affected by the pause, the spokesperson directed Pluribus to a fact sheet released by the State Department on January 16, 2024…The fact sheet reports that funding already committed or obligated to the UNRWA for fiscal 2024 for work in the West Bank and Gaza totaled $51 million as of January 16. Although the State Department did not directly answer questions about the amounts or the timing involved in distribution of funds, the spokesperson stated that “we are pausing any new or additional funding. Contributions to UNRWA that were not obligated as of January 24 are suspended, contributions to UNRWA obligated prior to this date remain in effect.”

Huh, color me shocked. It’s like the Obiden junta supports terrorism for both hamass and the Houthis…Course, it’s only money…taxpayer money, it’s not like it’s coming from the Biden crime family or anything.

Let’s have a closer look at UNRWA, there’s a video at the end of the source post as well.

1. UNRWA is a jihadist terror cult. For 70 years, it’s indoctrinated youth to hate, kill, and be disposable pawns in a battle to destroy Israel and beyond.

2. Thousands of it’s staff took part in or supported Oct 7th atrocities. This is a direct result of the billions in “aid” it spent on hate indoctrination and militarizing Gaza.

3. Instead of resettling its refugees, UNRWA forces them and all their descendants to be refugees forever. It indoctrinates kids to believe they must destroy Israel to ever have a home.

4. This perpetual refugee status is unprecedented and different than how all other refugees are treated – including the 100 million aided by UNHCR, the UN’s main refugee agency.

5. Israel is 0.3% of the Middle-East and is here to stay. The UNRWA jihad fantasy must end now. The rest of the region (10,000,000+ sq miles) should welcome its brethren.

6. In the past century, there were 1,000,000+ Jewish refugees from Arab countries. None are now seen as “refugees” or to have a “right to return”. They’ve all resettled in Israel or other countries.

7. Israel grants all Jews a “Law of Return” to their indigenous homeland. Most Arabs in Israeli territories came from Egypt or Jordan, which should offer them similar rights.

8. Funding UNRWA destroys the lives of Arab children who become indoctrinated with hate and violence for life. It destroys the societies where it operates, and brings forever conflicts to the region.

9. UNRWA is irredeemable. It’s aided and abetted the worst ideologies and atrocities for decades. Both Hamas and UNRWA must be eliminated for there to be a chance at real peace and stability.

Lousy organization correct? Not people you’d trust or want to be associated with, correct? Oh but if you’re the Obiden junta, they’re just the people you want.

Sure, I feel safe now

I’m sure all Americans will be as safe with the NSC director as the Israelis were with Maher Bitar at UNRWA. Sure of it…..

https://twitter.com/i/status/1743450902755770497

But the threats to innocent Israelis comes not only from Gaza, but from Judea and Shomron (Samaria) as well as the arabs there are pining to have hamass move in and “govern” them as well. No, not for the elevated standard of living they brought to Gaza, but because their charter is all about killing Jews.

So America will help her ally, correct? There is a real threat in Judea and Shomron to the people living there.

The Palestinian Authority’s stealth attempt to take over Judea and Samaria. Believe me when I say the P.A. are not the peace partners the MSM aka #FakeNews pretends they are.

Diligently following a master plan worked out over 10 years ago, the Palestinian Authority is laying claim to large tracts of Israeli state land through illegal building. Resembling Potemkin villages, many structures stand empty, hollow, windowless, alone or clumped together. The land grab has been hugely successful because Israeli countermeasures have been so feeble, Jews living in the area tell JNS.

So the Jews living there need to be well armed to defend themselves and their towns. And the Obiden junta’s response?

Judea and Samaria leaders outraged as US sets conditions on rifle sales

Jerusalem reportedly “assured” the U.S. that 24,000 rifles destined for Israel would not go to volunteer defense forces in Judea and Samaria.

Biden Suspends Sale of 20K Rifles to ‘Violent Settlers’ following General Yehuda Fox’s ‘Secret Report’ <May he rot>

The Biden administration is once again holding up licenses for selling more than 20,000 US-made M16 rifles to Israel on the charge that they would be distributed to “violent extremist” settlers, Axios reported Wednesday night.

.

The sale is crucial not only to the settlers, who are only scantily armed and whose able-bodied men are serving, and dying, in Gaza. Israeli communities inside the Green Line, in the south, the north, but mostly in the center, are still vulnerable to terrorist attacks and deploy local standby response teams made up of local residents. They receive their weapons and training from the Police, and their need far outweighs the supply.

US said to delay shipment of weapons for security squads due to Ben Gvir’s conduct

The left, in Israel and America despise Ben Gvir, he loves Israel and Israelis! Oh shock! Oh horror of horrors!! He’s handing out rifles to people in Judea and Samaria!

I heard a great definition of “settler violence” recently. I think it’s a lot like “gun violence”. If a settler is walking down a road and sees an arab stealing a sheep and the Jew throws a rock at the thief, that’s “settler violence”. If the Jewish farmer (settler) is walking down the road and sees an arab stealing a sheep and the arab throws rocks at the Jewish farmer that is also “settler violence”. See how that works? In America if a concealed carry holder shoots the criminal that was trying to kidnap or assault them, that too is “gun violence”.

But, now onto the nicer part. Sometimes there are allies, people of moral courage that speak out when most of their industry has viciously attacked Israel. One such person is an actor, hopefully he still is anyway. He’s an American actor, Mark Pellegrino. ‘The rational people in the world support you’ | Actor’s message for the people of Israel

And honestly, there aren’t as many of those as one would have hoped….but coming from a Hollyweird actors, that took some courage.

‘You are fighting against forces of regression, that are anti-modernity, anti-western civilization, that are determined to throw back society to medieval times.’

Now this one will be a shocker, John Fetterman! The terrorist, murdering and raping supporters of hamass showed up apparently at Fetterman’s abode and started in with their indoctrinated chant. Fetterman (a non-Jewish member of the DNC) responded by going out on the roof of the building and waving the Israeli flag. I. AM. IN. SHOCK!! This required an extra cup of coffee to revive me.

And lastly, this very moving song comes from the group Five For Fighting, it’s called “OK”. This is not a Jewish group, this is a group that looked around at the moral decay that has been exposed in America by the acts of October 7th and those around the world following it. October 7th ripped the masks off many many things, and it has become a time for choosing. Apparently this member of the music industry sees things are not “ok”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDJXo2Gn-ww

A Time for Choosing

I watch with shock, horror, trepidation, and anger at how fast my beloved country is becoming 1930s Germany. For those that wondered how they would have been, how they would have acted, how they would have chosen, what their character would have been? Yeah, well, I think we’re going to be finding out.
Harassment of Jews, with pending property damage? Check.

The sad irony of the October 7th massacre is that the denizens of Gaza attacked probably the most liberal part of Israel. They killed and raped the people who felt the most compassion for them, who marched for them, who hired them, who drove them to hospitals in Israel.
For example, this is Vivian Silver.

The late Vivian Silver
HY”D

The body of Canadian-Israeli Vivian Silver, one of the victims of the October 7th massacre was found.

Vivian (74) was an Israeli peace activist and leader of Women Waging Peace.

She spent years driving Gazans in need of medical care to Israeli hospitals.

They showed up on October 7th and thanked her their way – massacre!

Kfar Aza and Be’eri were made up of secular leftist peacenik types. They truly believed they could be friends and co-exist with the denizens of Gaza. So when it came time for the attack here’s how that works out in real life. The nice Gazans they had employed and paid good wages, that they had eaten meals with in their homes repaid their kindness in typical faux falestinian fashion. They had scoped out the Kibbutzim very well. They knew where the men lived, they knew who if any had guns and often where they were kept. They knew how many women and children, where they usually were, who had safe rooms and where. They then passed this intelligence onto the hamanazis.

Like the Jews of Germany that thought they were living peacefully with their neighbors for years, like the Jews living peacefully in 1929 Hevron with their Arab neighbors for years. Until one day they weren’t. Their peaceful neighbors turned into a deranged mob intent on torturing and killing one and all.

This man is a Muslim Arab Israeli who works for ZAKA, what he has to say is worth hearing.

A friend of mine told me there were a couple of religious observant Kibbutzim in the area. They lock their gates on Friday night at the start of Shabbat. They were spared, it seems the terrorists didn’t want to mess with fighting to get into some place when it was easier to go to those they knew would be lax. I’m not casting aspersions, I’m just marveling at small miracles any were spared.
And one of the questions many of us have struggled with is how could this happen?? How could Israel be so caught off guard. Well, short answer is it wasn’t, exactly. You know all those leftists in charge of our military? The ones doing drag queen story hour, and saying they would call China if our former President had been preparing to take action against them? Well, Israel has those kind as well. Caroline Glick is usually very solid. This has some of the answers, but its very painful and a bit of a warning to us as Obiden’s illegal invaders continue to stream across our border.

I’ve gotten the following information from more than one source, and it seems to line up pretty consistently.

Some of the horrors Israeli hostages experienced at the hands of Hamas in Gaza:

*Executed in captivity.

*Denied medical treatment.

*Starvation.

*Women kept in cages.

*Some forced to eat toilet paper.

*Sleep deprivation.

*Forced to watch Oct 7 atrocities.

*Separation from families.

*Children branded with exhaust pipes in case of escape.

*Beatings.

*Deprived of daylight.

*Solitary confinement.

*Elderly women forced to sleep on plastic chairs.

*Children forced to whisper, not allowed to cry.

*Denied basic hygiene.

*Confined to cramped spaces.

*No idea if their families survived.

*Forced to participate in degrading propaganda videos.

*Not a single visit from the Red Cross.

NEVER donate money to the Red Cross. Not only do they have a horrid history going back to WWII, while they certify the hamanazi ambulance service Red Crescent which is used to transport and hide terrorists, they refuse to certify Israel’s Magan David Adom ambulance service. In addition to which in this case the Red Cross did not demand of the hamanazis to be allowed to visit the hostages, and when asked by the family of an elderly hostage to take her medicine (which they had brought with them) to her in captivity, they refused. Yep, the Red Cross refused to take provided medication to an elderly hostage. NEVER give money to the Red Cross.

And this is just what we know about!Prof. Itai Pesach, head of children’s hospital at Sheba, said “When the children will start telling their stories, none of us will be able to sleep at night”.

Eitan was a Hamas hostage. He is 12 years old.

Eitan was brutally beaten on the day he was kidnapped by crowds of “innocent” civilians as he was brought from Israel into Gaza.

He was bullied by Palestinian boys under the instructions of a male teacher.

In captivity, he was forced to watch horrific videos of the massacre and torture of people he knew by the terrorists from October 7th.

He also said that the terrorists threatened them with weapons when the kidnapped Israeli children were crying.

When the Hamanazis said they didn’t know where all the hostages were they may have been telling the truth. Because the “innocent denizens of Gaza” were very actively involved in the kidnapping, torture and murder of the kidnapped Israelis. They also were holding some of them in private homes. Including a UNRWA teacher who held a captive in his attic for around 50 days basically starving the captive. Another Israeli was held captive by a Falestinian “doctor”. Yeah he is suppose to be a real doctor but apparently the Hippocratic oath hasn’t been translated into Falestinian.

This is the truth about Hamas, this is the high moral imperative of the Palestinian majority.

To torment and kill Israelis and Jews. This opinion poll was done around October 7th.

A Falestinian opinion poll

Be sure that Arab leaders are not as enthusiastic about a Palestinian state solution as the US administration does. Why? They have their past to lean on –

In the early 1950s, the Palestinian leadership collaborated with the Muslim Brotherhood, terrorizing Egypt, their host country.

In the mid-1960s, the Palestinian leadership terrorized Syria, their host country.

In 1968-70, the Palestinian leadership triggered a civil war in Jordan, attempting to topple their host Hashemite regime.

In 1970-82, the Palestinian leadership instigated a series of civil wars in Lebanon, aiming to take over their host country.

In 1990, the Palestinian leadership collaborated with Saddam Hussein’s invasion and plunder of Kuwait, which was for decades the most generous Arab host of 400,000 Palestinians.

From 1939, about nine years before the declaration by Israel of statehood,

Nobody wants these flotsom of human kind including other Arab nations which share a language and religion with them. This is Saudi author and media personality Rawaf al-Saeen. It has English subtitles and is pretty enlightening coming from the Arabic side.

Also weighing in for “news sources” that use the information given to them by the falestinian health ministry, is Amjad Taha, Arabic journalist, a real one. As opposed to cnn, msnbc and NYT. You see the falestinian health ministry is hamass. It’s run by hamass and is hamass. If they’re willing to behead babies, they’re willing to lie to a gullible western media and populace about how many are dead and how they got that way.

Taha

And some of the Western Media is very very stupid. Kudos to Elyon Levy.

Knesset member Avigdor Lieberman: There are no innocents in Gaza, he’s not exactly a religiously observant Jew.

There are no innocents in Gaza.

For years, good people with good intentions and it’s safe to say naive, believed in and promoted the idea of peace between us and the Palestinians. People who believed with all their hearts in the idea of two states and thought that normal people who dream the same dream live in Gaza.

A dream that shattered into pieces on October 7, 2023.

After recovering from the initial shock of the terrible massacre and with the revelation of the evidence of the atrocities committed by the Nazi terrorists, there is no shadow of a doubt that those who took part in the attack on the Gaza Strip, provided the intelligence on the homes of the residents and led the mob in the second wave of looting and destruction, were Gazans who worked in the settlements they invaded. They made a living and ate in the homes of the massacred residents, those residents who helped them and their families when they were sick and took care of transporting them from Gaza to Israel for life-saving treatments in hospitals in Israel.

The late Vivian Silver, from Kibbutz Be’eri, was one of those people who worked for peace and for the people of Gaza. She established aid programs for Gazans, made sure the workers were paid fair wages, transported the sick to hospital treatment and a few days before the massacre organized a peace rally in Jerusalem where Israeli women marched alongside women. On the Black Saturday, she was murdered with terrible cruelty by the very people she had worked for over the years, and none of the residents of Gaza condemned the murder or expressed shock.

Some will say that the residents of Gaza are afraid of Hamas and that is why we have not heard any condemnation from them, but the scenes we are witnessing in the last few days every evening when our abductees are transferred to the Red Cross and the testimonies of those who have returned from captivity, leave no room for doubt.

Hamas receives overwhelming support in Gaza.

The enraged crowd that insults and spits on the abductees, our small children who say they were beaten by Gazans of all ages and the demonstrations of joy and support for terrorists throughout Gaza, testify to the cruelty of the population that educates its children to hate the State of Israel and trains a new generation of terrorists and supporters of terrorism whose goal is the destruction of the State of Israel for all its citizens.

Gaza is a wasp’s nest of terrorists.

There is complete synchronization between Hamas and “innocent” citizens and the story of Roni Kariboy, who was kidnapped from the music festival by the bad guys, illustrates this. Roni managed to escape from captivity and hide for a few days, until Gazans caught him and returned him to his captors.

This is probably the reason why the terrorists marked the legs of the kidnapped children with the exhaust pipe of a motorcycle in order to make it easy to identify them in case they escape.

Another evidence of the full cooperation of the population can be found in the corridors of Shifa Hospital, where the hospital director and other senior doctors helped the terrorists hide hostages and turned the hospital into a haven for terrorists. But it’s not only in hospitals that you find collaborators, also in private homes of UNRWA medical professionals and teachers where hostages were held in terrible conditions.

These things are also reflected in social networks, in the Arab world and in Gaza. 99.9% of all publications are words of praise and wall-to-wall support for Hamas and the horrible acts of October 7th.

Now someone show me where innocent people who are not involved in terrorism are hiding in the Gaza Strip.

Why I am not moved emotionally by Gazan deaths

Stop worrying about Gazan civilians

Might there be guidance from the Torah about how such things should be handled? Why, yes indeed. In last weeks Parsha as a matter of fact!

Fifth Reading 34:1 Dinah was the daughter of Leah, whom Leah had borne to Jacob.46 Dinah was Leah’s daughter not only in the biological sense but also in the moral sense: she inherited her mother’s willingness to venture out of the safety of her tent47 for holy and righteous purposes. Confident in her ability to positively influence others—even though she was no more than a girl of ten at the time—she went out to observe the girls of that region in order to convince them to adopt the righteous ways of her family.

2 But Shechem, son of Chamor the Hivite, who was the chief of the region, saw her, took her, raped her, and abused her carnally in other ways, as well.

3 Despite himself, he was strongly drawn to Jacob’s daughter Dinah; he loved the girl, and spoke to the girl in a way he hoped would win over her heart, saying, “Look how many ornate coins your father expended just to purchase a small parcel of land.49 If you marry me, the whole city and its environs will effortlessly and automatically belong to you.”

4 Shechem spoke to his father, Chamor, as follows: “Get me this young girl as a wife.”

5 Now Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah. His sons were in the field with his livestock, so Jacob held his peace until they came.

6 Meanwhile, Shechem’s father, Chamor, went out to Jacob to speak with him.

7 Jacob’s sons returned from the field when they heard what Shechem had done to Dinah. The men, her brothers, became aggrieved and were deeply incensed, for Shechem had committed an outrage to their father Israel by raping their sister, Jacob’s daughter. Such a thing was considered socially and legally taboo ever since humanity had collectively foresworn illicit carnal relations in the wake of the Flood50 and made such acts a capital offense. Thus, Shechem’s act made him liable to the death penalty. The other residents of the city were implicated in his offense as well, for not having voiced their protest.51

8 Chamor spoke with them, saying, “My son Shechem deeply desires your daughter. I implore you, give her to him in marriage

9 and intermarry with us: give us your daughters, and take our daughters for yourselves. These marriages between our two peoples shall take place at your sole discretion: you may decide to which of our men you will give your daughters, as well as which of our daughters you will take for your men.

10 You shall live among us, and the land will be open before you; you may settle it, trade in it, and acquire holdings in it.”

11 Then Shechem said to her father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you tell me to give as a dowry, I will give.

12 Go ahead, demand of me an exceedingly high figure for the dowry you will stipulate in the bridal contract, and for gifts, and I will give as much as you tell me; just give me this girl as a wife!”

13 When Jacob’s sons replied to Shechem and his father, Chamor, they spoke cunningly, for he had defiled their sister Dinah.

14 They told them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to an uncircumcised man, for that would be considered a disgrace to us. In fact, when one of our people wishes to insult someone, he calls him ‘uncircumcised’ or ‘the son of an uncircumcised father.’

15 Therefore, will we give our assent only on this condition: that you be like us in that every male among you be circumcised.

16 We will then intermarry with you as you have proposed, i.e., at our sole discretion: We will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live together with you and become a single nation.

17 But if you do not heed us and circumcise yourselves, we will take our daughter and depart.”

18 Their terms were acceptable to Chamor and to Shechem, Chamor’s son.

19 The young man did not delay in carrying out this thing, since he desired Jacob’s daughter, and he was the most respected person in his father’s household.

20 Chamor then came with his son Shechem to the gate of their city, and they spoke to the men of their city as follows:

21 “These men are fully at peace with us. Let them live in the land and trade in it, for the land has ample room for them. Supply in our land exceeds demand, so letting them live here and trade in the land will not adversely affect our economy.” When Chamor and Shechem had proposed intermarriage between the two peoples to Jacob and his sons, they phrased their proposal to Jacob’s family’s advantage, allowing them to select Hivite men for their daughters and take whatever Hivite girls they wished for wives. In contrast, when they now set the proposal of intermarriage before their compatriots, they altered the wording to their compatriot’s advantage in order to induce them to consent to be circumcised: “We will take their daughters as wives, and we will give our daughters to them, both at our discretion.

22 But only on this condition will these men consent to live with us and become one nation: that every male among us be circumcised, just as they are circumcised.

23 After all, when they will dwell among us, their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals will become ours. Let us just agree to their condition and they will live among us.”

24 All the people who came out to the gate of Chamor’s city heeded Chamor and his son Shechem, and all the males who passed through the gate of his city had themselves circumcised.

25 On the third day after their circumcision, when the Hivites were in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, each took up his sword. They acted as Dinah’s loyal brothers, risking their lives for her sake, but without first consulting their father. They fell upon the city, confident in their ability to overcome the men—firstly, because of the Hivites’ weakness and pain due to the circumcision, and secondly, in the merit of their father Jacob—and killed every male.

26 They also killed Chamor and his son Shechem by the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house and left. When they went to rescue Dinah, they found her agonizing in embarrassment over what had been done to her and afraid that, consequentially, no one would want to marry her; Simeon therefore promised that he would marry her, and it was only on this condition that she consented to be rescued.52

When the two brothers attacked the city of Shechem, Jacob took up his sword and bow and stood at the entrance to the city in readiness to protect his sons if any of its allies would come to side with its inhabitants.53

27 Jacob’s sons came to strip the slain of their possessions, and they plundered the city that had defiled their sister.

28 They took the Hivites’ flocks, cattle, donkeys, and whatever else was in the city and the field.

29 They seized all their money and captured all their children and womenfolk, and plundered everything in the houses.

A couple of thoughts, Dinah was TEN, TEN years old when Shechem raped her. I was attempting to explain why the actions of Simeon and Levi were responsible and reasonable. The whole town did nothing to stop the depraved Shechem from brutalizing the child, and after he did so they did nothing to confront him. So will the town continue to behave in such a manner? Yes. Of course.

I thought Lenny Goldberg had a great (if short) show on this very topic this week.

Part of the problem is people look at this situation and actions through the mind set of the mid-west. The middle East is not the mid-west.

Some of the terrorists Israel has released are again calling for the murder of innocent Israeli civilians. Already.

And the hamanazis are saying they intend to repeat October 7th.

Hamas official says group aims to repeat Oct. 7 onslaught many times to destroy Israel

And this is the next generation of “innocent Gazans”

We were warned.

Understand this, our country has become so depraved that when those in charge of 3 major schools of higher learning refused to say that calling for the murder of Jews is a violation of their school’s policies you know where we’re at. The best they could manage was if the terrorists actions crossed over from calling for genocide into actually committing genocide then that might maybe be a violation of their schools policies. Situation dependent you understand, of course.

There are many many people stacked against what used to be normalcy and decency. But there are some interesting solutions. I do love this short video.

This woman in Israel is known for cheerleading and supporting Hamas. She got the shock of her life when the Israeli police informed her in person that she would be relocated to Gaza—the ultimate fan experience, right at the heart of the action, the headquarters of Hamas! Israeli Arabs enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world, even higher than other Arabic countries usually. But this woman just loves and supports the Hamanazis, and hasn’t been shy about telling everyone. So, Israel is shipping her to Gaza!! What a fabulous idea!! Look at her excitement and the look of pure joy on her face!! They’ve made her dream come true. I’d like to suggest we begin to do the same to some college students and the presidents of Harvaaaaard, MIT and Penn. I’m sure they’d love it!! T

Hanukkah starts tonight. It’s different from some of the other wars, most of them have been like what the current demoncrat party is waging. A fight against a mob and death. <humor alert>

Jewish Family Celebrates Hanukkah 2023 In Neighbor’s Attic

Hanukkah in contrast, the Greeks didn’t care if the people lived, but they wanted to kill the religion and practice of Judaism. Sort of like the Obiden White House.

Jews Advised To Protect Themselves From Violence By Not Being Jewish

“It’s a simple solution,” said historic White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who is gay and black. “We have seen a sharp rise in antisemitic behavior, so our best advice to Jewish people in fear for their lives is to stop doing Jewy things and consider not being Jewish altogether.”

If you’re like me, you wonder why? Why is this happening. I really liked the explanation in this short video. It is apparent, the time is upon us, the time for choosing. What kind of people will we be? What kind of people are we? What will we contribute to society, our country and our world?Will we seek out and find why G-d wants us here at this time in this place? All questions for each of us to answer.

And with that, I will wish you all a very safe, joyous and meaningful Hanukkah!

חג חנוכה שמח
