When Does It Becomes Incitement to Violence?

I think it’s been apparent for a long time to most people that Tucker Qatarlson and Kooky Candace Owens have continued their descent into mental instability. I’ve said before, Jew hatred rots the brain, but even I’m amazed at how publicly they are willing to display their mad dash from Jew hatred into full on insanity.

I’ve written about this before, but they decided to up the ante. They’ve decided to attack Chabad. For those not familiar with Chabad,

Chabad-Lubavitch is a major movement within mainstream Jewish tradition with its roots in the Chassidic movement of the 18th century. In Czarist and Communist Russia, the leaders of Chabad led the struggle for the survival of Torah Judaism, often facing imprisonment and relentless persecution for their activities. After the Holocaust, under the direction of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchaak Schneerson and his successor, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, Chabad became a worldwide movement, caring for the spiritual and material needs of all Jews, wherever they could be found.

Today, over 3,500 Chabad institutions are located in more than 100 countries, with a new center opening on the average every ten days. In South Africa, South America, Russia, Australia, Asia, the UK, and many parts of the USA, Chabad has become the most dynamic and dominant force within the Jewish community.

Pretty sinister stuff, eh what?

I’ll do Kooky Candy first as she is echoing Tucker’s claims.

Candace on digging tunnels

“Remember they are digging tunnels in New York and in cities all across America. They are taking over entire towns in New Jersey.” She described Chabad as a “radical sect of mystic occultists” and urged followers to be aware of Chabad centers near them.

But Kooky Candy is willing to accuse any Jew of anything. No proof needed, she just makes stuff up and says tune in to her next episode and she’ll bring receipts. She just doesn’t tell you they’re from her last trip to McDonald’s.

Candace accuses PM Netanyahu

Candace Owens Goes Full Nutjob: Backs Tucker’s Chabad Conspiracy, Claims ‘Jews Tried to Murder Me’ in Unhinged Rant

“Calculated evil”: Candace Owens joins Tucker Carlson in a “clown-level” attack on Chabad-Lubavitch, peddling victimhood fantasies and “conspiratorial nonsense.”

Ok, this one actually makes me chuckle, I mean Israel is taking out Ayatollahs by the dozen before breakfast. Leaders of the IRGC are walking around disguised as women, and really with the Burkas Iran forces the women to wear it’s probably hard to tell except some of them are really really tall. Last year during and after Midnight Hammer Iranian nuclear scientists were dropping like houseflies. The Basij are now riding their motorcycles around Iran wearing jackets of construction workers, police stations, IRGC buildings and specific apartments in an apartment building are being taken out. And they can’t find Candace at Dollywood? She accuses Israel of killing a President of the US, John F. Kennedy and yet she has no fear of making such an outrageous accusation? She must think her followers are exceedingly stupid, or blind, as she is not the least bit worried about Israel targeting her.

Candace Owens claims Lubavitcher rebbe ‘hated non-Jews’

Responding furiously to Owens’ claims, Chabad spokesman Yaacov Behrman said she had displayed “utter ignorance in her idiotic, ad hominem attack” against Rabbi Schneerson.

“Israel Shahak was a discredited, self-loathing Jew – and the fact that she quotes him as if he’s some respected authority suggests that she has waded into waters that are far too deep for her,” he said.

I’m pretty sure the puddle behind my car is waters far deep for her to wade in as she lacks discernment as to where to search for information on a topic.

Fans of Lubavitcher Rebbe respond to Candace Owens’ criticism of him

By going after Schneerson, Owens prompted a response from Chabad itself. The movement and its emissaries chiefly sought to dispel her claim that Schneerson thought Jews were superior to non-Jews.

The Rebbe saw the importance of each individual, no matter how ordinary they might seem,” Chabad’s official X account wrote as part of a long thread on his life. “His door was open to all. The Rebbe dedicated hours daily to personally responding to letters from people worldwide.”

And as a devout Catholic, apparently Kooky Candy considers this sort of behavior, her duty. Except apparently some in the Catholic church don’t agree.

Why Candace Owens’ Jewish conspiracy theories violate Catholic teachings

Christian tradition has always held that those who speak publicly in the name of the faith bear a grave responsibility for the truth of their words. Speech that spreads false accusations, imputes corruption to entire peoples, or revives historic patterns of hatred does more than inflame political debate — it violates the moral law and damages Christian witness.

In a previous article, I argued that Candace Owens’ public rhetoric has reached a level of grave scandal that calls for ecclesial discipline, up to and including excommunication. This article addresses the substance of that concern.

.

With those principles established, we can now examine the specific patterns that appear in Owens’ public commentary. The purpose of examining these statements is not to condemn a person but to evaluate public rhetoric in light of Catholic moral teaching. Christians are called to judge ideas and words according to the truth, while leaving the ultimate judgment of souls to God.

The concern here is not a single controversial remark but a recurring pattern of rhetoric visible across Owens’ own public posts and broadcasts. Five types of claims appear repeatedly.

The writer then goes on to give examples and explain why they are against Catholic teachings.

But honestly, I’m not sure excommunication would phase her that much. She was denied entry into Jihadi loving Australia due to her Holocaust denial and that hasn’t phased her.

Australia bans Candace Owens from entering country due to antisemitism

“Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else,” said Tony Burke, the Immigration Minister.

But Kooky Candy is feeding off and singing back up for Tucker Qatarlson and his demon.

So onto Tucker Qatarlson, a “C-C”1 or a C-C2. Feel free to choose.

Tucker Carlson Blames Chabad for Iran War, Claims Secret Plan to Rebuild Temple

Commentator Tucker Carlson triggered a storm this week after accusing the global Chabad-Lubavitch movement of secretly pushing for the destruction of the Islamic shrines on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and the construction of a Third Jewish Temple. The remarks came as Israel remains locked in a widening confrontation with Iran and its regional proxies. Carlson, who commands a massive online audience, used his program to present the war as part of a Jewish religious agenda, claiming that Chabad has been quietly working to advance plans to remove the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque in order to rebuild the Temple.

….

Chabad, headquartered in Crown Heights in Brooklyn, operates Jewish outreach centers in more than 100 countries and is widely known for its work encouraging Jewish practice. The movement is not a political organization and does not run campaigns related to Israeli military or government policy.

Carlson’s theory relied partly on images of Israeli soldiers wearing patches depicting a Temple. Those images in fact, came from social media posts connected to the Temple Institute, an advocacy group that promotes education about the Temple and preparation for its eventual restoration. The institute has no connection to Chabad.

Despite the lack of evidence, Carlson framed the current war as a “global religious war” allegedly triggered by Jewish ambitions regarding the Temple Mount. He also claimed that Christians die disproportionately in such conflicts, suggesting hidden motives behind Jewish support for Israel.

I don’t really want to give Tucker, the clicks, so if you haven’t seen the video I’ll give you this one with Ollie.

So, a few points. Sorry, but you can’t get the patches from Chabad. You can get them from High on The Har They have way cool patches, tee-shirts and other things. Reasonable prices and come from Israel as well! High on the Har donates them to soldiers, and you can make a donation to help give them to the soldiers. You can get them from The Israel Guys They have patches, baseball caps and the like. Another place you might be able to find them is The Temple Institute’s store. They aren’t shipping right now, but their website is fascinating. I’ve actually been to their store and just thought it was marvelous. But getting your “official Chabad Third Temple patch” is right out, sorry. Although maybe I should suggest it.

Actually, I think in a column well over a year or more ago I wrote about the patches. These columns from Arutz Sheva are from Oct 24 and March of 25. It’s interesting, soldiers that were sent into Gaza talked about the homes they were in searching for terrorists and all the homes had pictures of abomination on the Temple Mount known as The Dome of the Rock.. Muslims doing what muslims do, they build mollusks on top of defeated religious sites, or when possible, they buy a church or synagogue and turn in into a mollusk, they’ve taken over you see? They vanquished the infidel. It’s why they wanted to build an “Islamic Center” on the site of the 9/11 attacks. Who knows, with the muslim shia 12er mayor, it could still happen. The soldiers said they arabs knew what they were fighting for, it isn’t about land, it’s about religion.

Raising a storm: Chief of Staff rips ‘Moshiach’ patch off soldier’s arm

Official IDF photo shows ‘Moshiach patch’ on soldier’s helmet

But Ollie is correct, this does have very real impact.

Chabad on high alert after false Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens war claims

Chabad, a sect of Hasidic Judaism known for its global religious outreach and houses on hundreds of college campuses, does not function as a political advocacy organization. Its teachings describe the rebuilding of the Third Temple as part of a future messianic redemption achieved through acts of mitzvot — not a project to be advanced through modern warfare or the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

To blame it on a Hasidic movement based in Brooklyn that just goes around the world, spreading Judaism, spreading love, spreading kindness, it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” Yossi Farro, a member of the Chabad movement known for wrapping tefillin with celebrities, told the Forward in a phone interview. “He’s appealing to people that have never heard of Chabad and now, their first opinion is, this is horrible, these people are warmongers — which is the exact opposite of what we represent.”

….

The rhetoric also follows a series of attacks targeting Chabad celebrations. In December, a gunman opened fire at a Chabad Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. The incident left 15 people dead, including a Chabad rabbi, a Holocaust survivor and a 10-year-old girl.

In January, a driver repeatedly rammed his car into an entrance to the Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, damaging the building on a night thousands had gathered there to celebrate.

After Tucker Smear, Chabad Surges Security, Donations – and Mitzvos

As a result of Carlson’s false claims, the Brooklyn Chabad rabbi has already ramped up security. “Carlson blames Chabad for the Iran war, then Owens posted ‘find out where your local Chabad is’ so the threat level is raised,” he said. “My first responsibility is to keep everyone safe. I had to ask police to be outside this past Shabbos. And now I’m going to have to get video cameras and an armed guard for Shabbos, which costs up to $500 per Shabbos.”

Chabad on high alert after false Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens war claims

Jewish institutions are on high alert after Tucker Carlson falsely claimed on his podcast Wednesday that the Chabad-Lubavitch movement is behind the war in Iran.

Carlson claimed that Chabad is orchestrating a religious war aimed at destroying the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem’s Old City so that the Third Temple could be rebuilt in its place.

This has been going on a long time in public through, in part, the efforts of a group called Chabad. C-H-A-B-A-D,” Carlson said.

And, I would come to the same conclusion as my all time favorite Israeli government spokesman, Eylon Levy.

Candace & Tucker have goals and dreams

Not that long ago I mentioned in a column one of Candy’s mentally unstable followers was on his way to kill Jewish media personalities.

But this doesn’t just hold threats of physical violence in the immediate future, it has other threats.

From a recent Patrick Bet-David podcast. It will start at the correct section.

https://www.youtube.com/live/NBJjVU61huM?t=4904s

It starts out with a bit of Tucker history, but then it leads into where the Tucker threat for the future lies, and it’s not a very distant future, it’s happening now. And it’s the young that are buying it. This is the poll he mentions.

referenced poll

Adam I think is 100% correct, the loss of Charlie has cost our country and our youth much.

I think it’s well worth it to stick through the discussion on JD Vance.

You know, it’s fascinating really. This Third Temple business that seems to terrify Tucker. Since when did the loss of a muslim holy site so upset a C-C#1? Wouldn’t a Christian and Jewish sites be more important to him than a muslim one? And by the way, what’s up with that picture of Fatima next to him?

Now, I may be breaking a code of silence here, but I don’t think I am, I’m going to share with you a few sentences from a top secret book of Jewish mystical beliefs that so terrifies Tucker. I’m warning you, you read this at your own risk!

Yeshayahu (Isaiah) – Chapter 56

1 So says the Lord, “Keep justice and practice righteousness, for My salvation is near to come, and My benevolence to be revealed.”

2 Fortunate is the man who will do this and the person who will hold fast to it, he who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it and guards his hand from doing any evil.

3 Now let not the foreigner who joined the Lord, say, “The Lord will surely separate me from His people,” and let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”

4 For so says the Lord to the eunuchs who will keep My Sabbaths and will choose what I desire and hold fast to My covenant,

5″ I will give them in My house and in My walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters; an everlasting name I will give him, which will not be discontinued.

6 And the foreigners who join with the Lord to serve Him and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath from profaning it and who holds fast to My covenant.

7 I will bring them to My holy mount, and I will cause them to rejoice in My house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

8 So says the Lord God, Who gathers in the dispersed of Israel, I will yet gather others to him, together with his gathered ones.

9 All the beasts of the field, come to devour all the beasts in the forest.

10 His lookouts are all blind, they do not know, dumb dogs who cannot bark; they lie slumbering, loving to slumber.

11 And the dogs are of greedy disposition, they know not satiety; and they are shepherds who know not to understand; they all turned to their way, each one to his gain, every last one.

12 “Come, I will take wine, and let us guzzle old wine, and tomorrow shall be like this, [but] greater [and] much more.”

You would think as a C-C#1 Tucker would know about this and the Third Temple wouldn’t you? That he too, would long for Moshiach and the Third Temple. But he doesn’t because he is a C-C#2, and by their actions and words they have placed people in danger, so at what point does their hatred become incitement to violence, because I would think that we are there. Self defense is Biblical, absolutely.

And in case you need a dose of humor after all that, here’s Ami Kozak’s take on Tucker, his demon and the insane attack on Chabad. Six minutes worth, the end is great if you have to skip ahead.

I’m signing up for the evening tunnel digging shift, with a shovel. Not sure my accuracy with a pick ax is up to snuff.

“Never Again,” and meaning it.

Much of the reporting on the shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue has been odd. Even stories which mention that anyone stood up to the asshole play it down and bring it up late in the story. Some reports fail to mention defense at all, and imply only that the shooting stopped because the weapon jammed. A Breitbart report told more: that an armed congregant passed a weapon to another, who went after chumbucket. Today, we learn that another person helped.

And then I found a report from a member of the Chabad of Poway synagogue.

This congregation is armed.

Lori’s husband had a wheel gun hidden safely in a cabinet. Only a few congregants knew about it. The Rabbi is also armed.

The perp parked out front, walked in the open front door. Shots were fired immediately, I’m not sure exactly who was hit first. The Rabbi had a few fingers shot off. Lori took one shot to the abdomen and died instantly.

When husband heard the commotion, he retrieved the wheel gun and tossed it to the BP guy who was praying. There was another ex-military congregant accosted the perp, screaming at folks to get down. The perp panicked and ran to his car. The BP fired several shots into the car, blowing out the back window and possibly hitting a tire. The perp surrendered to local LA a mile down the road.

The perp had multiple mags. A huge massacre was prevented by the presence of that wheel gun.

Armed Rabbi. An emergency house gun. Three more people ready, willing, able to defend their friends. A fourth who got shot deliberately putting himself between the murderer and children.

Heroes. Who clearly understood “Never Again” means stopping the atrocity in its tracks, and being prepared to do just that.

#Poway

The last two days of Pesach are observed as the first two, in that they are holidays. This means I’m not on the computer, and I’m not listening to the radio. On Shabbat I don’t anyway. On Shabbat I’m where I’m suppose to be, in Beit Knesset, Shul, my place of meeting and prayer. I’m learning, I learn from my Rabbi and from the other people there that I have grown to care about very much. I have a huge sense of gratitude every single time I walk in, whether it is for Shabbat or a class I’m taking. I learn about

G-d, his love for me, for us, and his direction manual for us to grow in our relationship with him, how he wants us to live our lives, and how to live in peace with each other. And every time I go, I realize how much more I have to learn.

So it was late Saturday evening when I logged onto my computer and saw my first notification of the shooting at another Chabad in Poway Kalifornia. Before I could read the details my mind had already flipped back to the attack at the Chabad house in Mumbai India in November 2008. Mercifully, this was not that. The song that Y.B. had me post, Vehi She Amda is part of the Pesach seder, it’s a song I love, and most days I sing it because I love it that much. I love what it says.

This attacker was a 19 year old “Bucket O’Chum” who was in nursing school. And if that doesn’t scare you, it should. He self identifies as a 19 year old Kalifornia native and a nursing student. ‘I’m just a normal dude who wanted to have a family, help and heal people, and play piano.’ He also self identifies as a human being. I would disagree with that. Around 1130 on Shabbat during the service “Chum” walked in and began shooting any and all he could. There was a family there that have moved from Israel a few years before after the rockets fired from the “Two-state solution” known as Gaza had hit their home more than once. They had lived in Sderot. Another family member visiting from Sderot managed to save his nieces and a neighbor girl despite being wounded in the leg. Little Noya was wounded by shrapnel, and her hero uncle was hit in the leg. Both will survive. He also intended to kill Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, and although the Rabbi required surgery on both hands, and I believe lost a finger he is alive. He is alive because of his longtime friend and Chabad attendee Lori Gilbert-Kaye, 60. Lori flung herself between the killer and the Rabbi. A doctor began to perform CPR on her, when he realized it was his wife, he fainted. I can not even begin to imagine. As the Rabbi was wheeled into surgery he kept saying to let everyone know Lori saved his life.

Chum entered Chabad with a rifle, does what kind really matter? He was wearing a green vest and a helmet. He planned to stay awhile. Which might give rise to the question why is only one person dead. And in asking that, I do not mean to imply one is not significant. It is, it is one too many. From all I’ve read Lori was amazing, and it is a very significant loss not only to her family but the community as well. But you would have expected a higher death toll with the amount of preparations he seemed to have made. I have a couple of answers.

A) G-d, his gun jammed.

Authorities said the suspect’s gun may have jammed during the shooting

B) Human intervention

During the shooting, a brave off-duty border patrol agent, who was working as private security for the synagogue, fired at the shooter and chased him. Other members of the synagogue, who carried licensed concealed weapons, also went after him. Miraculously the killers’ gun jammed and he ran off. The heroes and G-d hand prevented the killer from claiming more lives.

The fact that there were armed congregants there and they went after him is not something I’ve seen brought out much.

Predictably the left began post haste to screech about gun laws. Anti-Gunners Call For Gun Control Laws Following Poway Synagogue Shooting But This Is What They’re Getting Wrong Beth Baumann has a break down on the laws already in place, or that may not have mattered at all.

And because to the left, one dead Jew isn’t enough, there is a list of the predictable responses of the usual victim disarmament crowd including Duke Nukem and Kamala Harris, who by the way, has her own gun and carry permit. Because you see that’s how elitism works. My life and family are valuable, yours aren’t. Like obamacare, we will legislate laws affecting your and your family’s life, but we will exempt ourselves from those laws. A small list is included in the “Anti-Gunner Call for Gun Control” link above. The killer ran off partly because armed members and the off duty Border Patrol agent came after him. The agent firing four shots at his car. So we can’t have armed citizens stopping a slaughter, correct progressives?

Which brings me to my next point. Progressives want to blame “right-wing” extremism and President Trump. As though Bucket O’Chum were a card carrying Republican. Nope. He hated Trump. With a vengeance because President Trump isn’t anti-Semitic. According to the manifesto he left on line, he most assuredly was not a President Trump fan. Of late, the majority of the hate is coming from Progressives, the left, and Islam. The reaction to attacks on Jews just needs to be adjusted to the situation. Rockets falling on Sdrot? Well, totally understandable, per Illan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Jewish Voice for Peace, B’Tselem, and the mainstream media, aka #FakeNews. Jews attacked in France, Sweden, Germany “it’s not muslims/islam” per the media, leftists and the politicians in those countries. Sarah Halimi is murdered by a muslim who screamed “Dirty Jewess” at her daughter, and it’s because he’s mentally incompetent. Not because he’s an islamic import to Francistan. In America people question a rise in antisemitism when obama brought in massive amounts of muslims, dumped them in places where they could be a majority and more easily enter political office. Yes, I’m talking about the ungrateful Somali “refugee” Omar. Or they can shoot unarmed yoga teachers and then have the mayor do a press conference wearing a hijab to show support for the Somali community. Not making that up. Obama-hack Jonathan Greenblatt, now head of the Anti-Defamation League has turned it in to a “dime store Southern Poverty Law Center”, and uses his position to blame the right. And who do Jews overwhelmingly vote for?

The left and its comrades in the mainstream media have taken the Jewish vote for granted for years. Jews are one of the most reliable constituencies of the Democratic Party. A CNN poll last fall found that nearly 80 percent of Jews voted Democratic in the midterm elections. Only 17 percent voted Republican. Yet anti-Semitism on the left in the U.S. has increased recently, including in the media.

And speaking of the media, and all the news that’s fit to lie about, The New York Slimes #FakeNews is becoming more brazen in their antisemitism having recently published a cartoon of President Trump, blind and wearing a kippah being led by a dog with a Magan David collar and Benjamin Netanyahu’s face. They finally removed it after a large outcry. Know what I find somewhat interesting? I’ve yet to see the name of the “cartoonist”. If it was a conservative that had done such a thing, their name, picture and family history back to the Mayflower would be all over the net by now. Say, where’s Omar Barghouti about now? Did the Slimes hire him?

So why did the Bucket O’Chum do this? Why the attack?

Like Tarrant in his own writings, the manifesto author states that his end goal is to prompt the U.S. government to begin confiscating guns, predicting that a civil war will ensue. The author said he had been planning the attack for four weeks.

Obviously a Duke Nukem supporter.

As long as we don’t look at this honestly, as long as people continue to embrace the big government control of citizens offered by people like #LipstickLenin-Cortez, this will continue. Because excuses are being made for the left, to more easily blame the right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I admit, I’m having a very hard time with this. I’m trying to understand and make some sense of it. I know I need to work towards something a Rabbi I very much admire wrote,

The solution therefore is to a. Love!

b. a practical mechanism which has helped many is the implementing of the sage advice of the Jewish masters, such as:

1. When you wake up in the morning (as the first thought influences the rest of the day) Express Gratitude (and as research shows, gratitude culminates in hope and happiness)

2. Forgive nightly (yes, before you go to bed – the first part of our bedtime prayers is: we forgive everyone.)

and thinking about the bar scene in the Chuck Norris movie Code of Silence. There are naughty naughty words in here.

When those that hate and come to kill are met with that kind of a response (without the naughty words) from a hard target things will change. I believe and understand there is a purpose to everything in G-d’s world, but I want to see beautiful souls like Lori Gilbert-Kaye around for a long time, to mentor other women, and continue making the world more beautiful. I want to see people like Almog Peretz who saved the children have a beautiful visit and only happy memories of his Pesach in America. We are not cowards, look at Lori and Almog’s responses. What courage! Which is good, because it’s going to take courage, clarity, wisdom and honesty to admit what the left is offering is not our friend.

For now, all I know to do is pray for healing. And that more places of worship will begin to consider armed security among their attendees.
