It’s Islam, Stupid
It’s not about Israel, colonialism, globalism or capitalism; it’s about Islam.

Beslan. Mumbai. Paris. Manchester. New York City. Nairobi. Luxor. Sulu. Kibbutz Be’eri.
186 children murdered in a school in Beslan. Dozens of children taken hostage from a Catholic school in the Philippines. Two teachers were beheaded, but not the girls. “We do not kill women. We will just enslave them,” the Jihadists promised. 8-year-olds gunned down in the Westgate Mall in Nairobi. The terrorists asked their victims to name Mohammed’s mother to tell apart the non-Muslims from the Muslims. In Luxor, Egypt, the terrorists danced, sang and killed and mutilated the foreign tourists. They “took all the young women, the girls, and disappeared with them. I don’t know where they went with the women, but they hurt them. We could hear screams of pain.” Among the dead was Shaunnah Turner, a 5-year-old British girl.
Pregnant women and children murdered in Israel baffle the world. They seem implausible because each time they happen, we forget. A few days of horror pass and we move on.
When a Muslim terrorist set off a bomb in Manchester at a concert full of children and teens, there was shock and outrage. Nails were pulled out of children’s faces.
“This attack stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice, deliberately targeting innocent, defenceless children and young people,” then Prime Minister Theresa May fumed.
That was 6 years ago. It might have been an eternity.
Our governments, talking heads and thought leaders find excuses for the killers. The Manchester Arena bomber was angry about the Syrian Civil War so he killed some British kids. Abu Sayyaf, ‘Bearers of the Sword’, keeps attacking Christian schools in the Philippines because it isn’t allowed to form its own state. The Jihadis who murdered children in Beslan were furious about Chechnya, in Nairobi, they were upset about Somalia, and in Luxor about the ban on the Muslim Brotherhood. In Israel, Hamas murdered children because the border wall makes their terror entity into an “open air prison” which prevents them from killing Israeli children.
We’re told not to look at the pattern. It’s Islamophobic. Instead we must take each attack not as a manifestation of Islam, but of local issues or a response to oppression. When Muslims gang raped and sawed in half a Hindu schoolteacher in Kashmir, it was about India’s treatment of Muslims. And when they rampaged through the Bataclan theater in Paris, killing everyone within reach, they were protesting France’s treatment of ISIS. And when they rape a woman at a concert in Israel by the bodies of her murdered friends, they’re protesting for Gaza.
But in 1929, Muslim mobs in the Jewish city of Safed burst into an orphanage and “smashed the children’s heads and cut off their hands.” During the Hebron Massacre that same year, a British policeman described how, “on hearing screams in a room I went up a sort of tunnel passage and saw an Arab in the act of cutting off a child’s head with a sword. He had already hit him and was having another cut, but on seeing me he tried to aim the stroke at me, but missed; he was practically on the muzzle of my rifle. I shot him low in the groin.”
Israel had not even come into existence yet. What were Muslims protesting then: Jews?
During the first siege of Vienna in 1529, when the invading Muslim horde decided that “children were cut out of their mothers’ wombs and stuck on pikes”, was that a protest against colonialism or capitalism? When a Muslim chronicle boasted that during the genocide against the Sikhs in the 18th century, “the shrieks of the women captives who were being raped, deafened the ears of the people”, was this a response to globalism or Zionism? Or was this just Islam.
Everything Hamas did during the bloody High Holy Days massacres has been done by Muslims throughout history and is still being practiced today. There is nothing new here whatsoever. Medieval barbarism never went away because Islam kept those grisly practices alive. It endures side by side with the modern world of smartphones, electric cars and AI because its worst crimes are an object of religious law and faith.
A Yazidi girl abducted by the Islamic State when she was only 12 described how the Jihadist who raped her explained to her that because she “practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her — it condoned and encouraged it”. He “bound her hands and gagged her. Then he knelt beside the bed and prostrated himself in prayer before getting on top of her. When it was over, he knelt to pray again”. The girl begged him to stop, but he “said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to Allah.”
This is Islam.
It’s not about Israel, India, Russia, America, England, France, the Philippines or any of the numerous other countries that have been marked by Islamic terrorism. It’s not about “oppression”, “colonialism”, “settlers”, “cartoons” or a lack of “integration”. None of the excuses ever hold up or explain the pattern that consistently and indelibly marks Islamic violence.
Hamas called its assault, ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’, a reference to the colonial mosque planted by Islamic conquerors in Jerusalem on top of the holiest place in Judaism, site of the former Temple. This wasn’t about “resistance”, Gaza being an “open air concentration camp” (with luxurious hotels, restaurants and mansions) or any of the excuses that the media has thrown at us.
It was a religious war. That’s why Hamas scheduled its attack on the Sabbath and on Simchat Torah, the final day of the High Holy Days and the most joyous day in Judaism. Just as the Yom Kippur War had been scheduled for the holiest day in Judaism. And the worst previous Hamas terrorist attack had been the bombing of a Passover seder in Netanya which killed 30 and wounded 140.
In Nigeria, Boko Haram has set off bombs in churches on Christmas. In 2015, a Muslim couple opened fire at a workplace Christmas party in San Bernardino, California, while a year later a Muslim terrorist drove through a Christmas market in Berlin and a 12-year-old Muslim boy tried to detonate a nail bomb at another Christmas market in Germany.
In India, Muslim terrorists set off bombs on the Hindu festival of Diwali. Massacring Christians, Jews and Hindus on their religious holidays is not a political statement: it’s a religious one.
Islamic terrorism is not an American problem, a British problem, a French problem, a Russian problem, a Chinese problem or an Israeli problem. It’s an Islamic problem. The only way we will ever triumph against it is to stop treating it as someone else’s problem. If only India gave up Kashmir, Israel gave up more of the West Bank, if America stopped being involved in the Middle East, if France hadn’t banned the hijab and the Netherlands hadn’t allowed cartoons of Mohammed, there would be no Islamic terrorism are the kinds of lies that are killing us.
We are not responsible for Islamic terrorism. None of us. Only Islam is responsible.
Islamic violence is over 1,000 years old. It predates most modern countries and it is not caused by anything we do. The only thing we are guilty of is our failure to smash the Jihad.
Nothing that we or anyone else does will appease the terrorists. Islam is not Northern Ireland: peace negotiations have never accomplished and will never accomplish anything. It cannot be reasoned or co-existed with. Its violence is a religious duty written into its scripture and its laws, its atrocities, murder, torture, mutilation and rape, are acts of sacred religious devotion. The Islamic kingdom of heaven can only be achieved when the entire world submits to Islam.
The horrors we have seen in the Jewish communities near Gaza are the same ones that Islam has perpetrated across Africa, Asia, Europe and America. In Nigeria, Boko Haram has kidnapped over 1,000 children from Christian schools. In the Philippines, Muslims burst into a school and took children hostage. In Algeria, they beheaded Trappist monks while in Thailand, they beheaded Buddhist monks. In Boston, they blew the legs off marathon runners while in France they drove a truck through a crowd on Bastille Day until the wheel well filled up with body parts.
This is grotesque, hideous, horrific and unimaginable. This is Islam.
We look away because we can’t bear it. When the attacks happen somewhere else, we pretend that it has nothing to do with us. And when it happens to us, then we let ourselves be persuaded that if we just avoided doing anything to upset the Muslims, like allying with the peoples and countries they’re trying to exterminate, drawing cartoons or mishandling korans, we’ll be fine.
It’s not a problem of “those people fighting over there and bringing their problems here.”
Islam is not just at war with us or with them, but with the entire world. If you are not a Muslim or the right kind of Muslim, then you are in a war whether you like it or not. You can be a peace activist and march with a ‘Queers for Palestine’ banner. You can welcome in migrants or blame the whole thing on conspiracy theories, but it still won’t matter. They will kill you if they can.
This is not about politics: it’s a thousand plus year crusade to subjugate all of mankind.
To win, we have to stop blaming ourselves, stop treating Islamic terrorism as someone else’s problem and stop pretending that it goes away when it’s not in the headlines. To win, we have to stand together and stop letting the enemies of mankind and their useful idiots divide us up. To win we have to recognize that we either fight or die. If we’re not faced with that choice right now, we will be, and if not us, then our children and grandchildren will one day come up against it.
We must reject terms like “senseless violence” because there is nothing senseless about it. Our enemies know who they are and what they want. We refuse to understand who they are. The only thing truly standing between us and victory are the lies that we tell ourselves. In moments of truth, the lies temporarily fall away and we see the enemy revealed for what it is.
Through a rain of paper and ash on a September in New York City, nails driven into the faces of children in Manchester and the mutilated legs of runners in Boston, the bloodied half-naked children of Beslan and the kidnapped children of kibbutzim in Israel, we glimpse the truth.
Hold on to that truth. We are not weak, we have been weakened by lies. And the greatest of those lies is that this endless catalog of crimes to which a new one is added every few weeks is about anything but Islam. It is about Islam. It has been about Islam for over 1,000 years.
Instead of “regional dispute”, say Islam. Instead of “cycle of violence”, say Islam. Instead of militants, say Islam. Instead of terrorists, say Islam. Instead of war, say Islam.
One little word explains all of this. One little world has led to an endless world of horror.
Our only hope for victory begins with ending the lies and telling the truth.

BLM IS NOTHING BUT A CULT OF BLACK HATE, VIOLENCE AND 'MISSING FUNDS'.
Inside Black Lives Matter's Long History With Hamas-Friendly Activists
Black Lives Matter chapters across the country made waves last week when they excused and explained away Hamas’s attack on Israel.
A coalition of 26 local chapters called the attacks a "desperate act of self-defense." The Chicago chapter shared an image glorifying Hamas gunmen on paragliders, before walking it back amid blowback. And the movement’s Phoenix branch praised Hamas "freedom fighters" for their acts of "resistance."
Echoing this rhetoric are two Hamas-friendly groups—American Muslims for Palestine and the Council for American-Islamic Relations—that have for nearly a decade worked arm-in-arm with the Black Lives Matter organization to plan rallies and lobby lawmakers.
The groups are united by an "oppressed-oppressor narrative that helps them destroy society," according to the Heritage Foundation's Mike Gonzalez.
"They see Israel as a kind of mini-me of the West and America," Gonzalez told the Washington Free Beacon. "They hate the West. Jerusalem is one of the founding blocks of Western thought, so if they're going to hate the West they have to hate Israel."
American Muslims for Palestine, whose board includes a man, Salah Sarsour, who helped raise funds for a Hamas front group in the late 1990s, declared itself "firmly in solidarity with Black Americans" and demanded "Justice for George Floyd" in 2020. It organized Black Lives Matter rallies in Dallas in 2020 and the following year cosponsored a rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial to demand the Biden administration to sanction Israel.
Speaking at the American Muslims for Palestine event in 2021, one Black Lives Matter leader articulated the groups’ shared commitment to destroying Israel.
"Black people know when Zionists try to twist the words of black brothers across the world," Black Lives Matter DC organizer Anthony Lorenzo Green said "I’m not just an ally, I’m your comrade. I’m in this struggle with you. Our struggles our connected. That’s why Palestinian flags were flying at Black Lives Matter protests last year and years before that."
"That’s why we can speak clearly that Israel is an apartheid state," Green declared, adding "From D.C. to Palestine, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." "From the river to the sea" is a slogan used by Hamas and other anti-Semitic groups to call for the destruction of the Jewish state.
The Council for American Islamic Relations, whose cofounder and executive director Nihad Awad has called Israel a "settler colonial Apartheid state," was a vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter in 2020. A federal judge in 2007 found "ample evidence to establish the association" between CAIR and Hamas. CAIR lobbied Congress for a police reform act supported by Black Lives Matter and displayed a Black Lives Matter banner in front of its Washington, D.C. headquarters, while local CAIR chapters organized protests with their Black Lives Matter counterparts throughout the Summer of 2020.
Black Lives Matter’s cozy relationship with the Hamas-friendly groups may come as a shock to the movement’s Jewish allies, given that 600 prominent Jewish organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League, signed a letter and published a full-page ad in the New York Times in August 2020 expressing their unequivocal support of Black Lives Matter.
Black Lives Matter's ties with the groups dates back to 2014, when Palestinian activists advised black rioters in Ferguson, Mo., on how to resist the police. Their efforts earned accolades from prominent Black Lives Matter leaders such as DeRay Mckesson, who credited Palestinian protesters for teaching rioters "what to do when we got tear-gassed."
Rep. Cori Bush (D., Mo.), who said cutting off American support of Israel was the only way to put a stop to Hamas terror, honored Palestinian activist Bassem Masri during a speech on the House floor in May 2021 for resisting and rebelling with rioters in Ferguson.
Black Lives Matter solidified its ties with Palestinian forces in 2015 when its leaders embarked on a 10-day trip to Israel to "experience and see firsthand the occupation, ethnic cleansing and brutality Israel has levied against Palestinians" and to build relationships with people in the region "leading the fight for liberation."
During that trip, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors organized a flash mob in Nazareth specifically to support the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel. Cullors resigned from Black Lives Matter in 2021 amid allegations of financial misconduct and now earns a living as a nude performance artist.
The following year, the Movement for Black Lives, a close ally of Black Lives Matter, released a policy platform that labeled Israel an apartheid state and called for the end of the "Israeli occupation of Palestine." The policy platform earned the unequivocal support of Students for Justice in Palestine, whose chapters have issued statements honoring Hamas "martyrs" who murdered Jewish children earlier this month.

So, it’s all about the Benjamins after all!
In 2019, Rep. Ilan Omar let her views on Jews be known when she tweeted, “It’s all about the Benjamins, baby" in a sleazy reference to hundred dollar bills.
Surprisingly, but to its credit, the entire Democratic Caucus condemned Omar’s comments.
But
what about those Benjamins? Have you ever wondered why so many of
America’s youth, in colleges and universities and even public government
schools, have a vociferous, cult-like admiration for all things Arab,
and in particular, all things Palestinian? And their dislike for Jews,
Israel and secondarily America?
How does this fixation fit with their fixation with social justice, equity, and intersectionality?
It doesn’t!
How does this youthful zeal for all things Palestinian jive with the manner in which Palestinians treat women?
It doesn’t.
How
does this zeal for all things Palestinian blandly co-exist with the
disdain, disfigurement, and even death of LGBTQ members when discovered
by the Islamists among them?
It doesn’t?
Omar’s Benjamins
comment was the ultimate in projection. For decades, a waterfall of
Benjamins have been flooding American colleges and universities from a
multitude of Arab countries.
These Benjamins come from Qatar, Oman, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries.
This research study published at the Jewish Virtual Library tells us a lot:
According to the Department of Education (DoE), between 1986 and 2021, colleges and universities received nearly $8.5 billion from Arab sources. Although the department has cracked down, and universities have reported previously unreported gifts and contracts, we don’t know how many have not been disclosed. Even more concerning is that after issuing reports disclosing some of the names of giftors, the DoE has agreed not to provide the names or addresses of donors.
The New York Times magazine has reported on this, too:
Saudi Arabia directed about $650 million to American universities from 2012 to 2018 and ranks third on the list of foreign sources of money, one spot behind Britain, according to data contained in the foreign gifts report. The top spot is occupied by Qatar, another oil-rich Persian Gulf state and a bitter rival of Saudi Arabia.
All
the poor struggling colleges and universities and treating hospitals
welcome their largesse, among which are: Harvard, Penn (recall their
recent Palestine Writes convention) Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, M.D.
Anderson and the Mayo Clinic.
Naturally, the Arabs wanted a
significant something for their financial benevolence. The donees
complied. All of a sudden, colleges discovered Middle Eastern Studies.
Departments
were created, “chairs” and scholarships established - all in the
furtherance of brainwashing our students to believe: Arab good,
Israeli/Jew bad, America evil.
So the mindless, monolithic
protesting and marching against Israel and Jews we are now witnessing is
the result of a highly successful propaganda campaign that has spanned
decades, fuelled with Arab Benjamins.
Sadly, the Arab
Benjamins have created a generation of young useless idiots whose moral
compasses are as craven as Hitler’s Nazi youth. They are infused with
fury and a total lack of human compassion and empathy. How else can
they replay and distribute gleefully on social media, the horrors Hamas
heaped on Israelis? How else can they celebrate and dance with joy at
this monstrous earth-shattering madness? Why do they think America is
evil?
One can hope that every one of these little monsters are
doxxed, canceled, and fired if they are already employed. One can hope
that not another penny of taxpayer or personal donations go to any
institution already rolling in Arab Benjamins and complying with Arab
bidding.

Sexual chaos in the Arab world drives some of its grotesque violence
During the attack on Israel, a member of Hamas grabs a Jewish girl. He lies down on top of her, comes to orgasm, stands up, and shoots her. What kind of sadistic twists were already present in his head that allowed the softness of sexual relations to be entwined with the violence of murder?
No one asks this question in America because it means looking deeper than most people want. But it needs to be asked since it is central to the problem of future peace or the lack thereof. Everyone knows there are cultural differences between people. Do some differences make it impossible to co-mingle groups? Yes, indeed! It is particularly true in the case of Arabs and Jews.
Sexuality between family members among the Jews is seen as destructive to family unity. Violations are condemned roundly. Among Arabs, sexuality is part of the family package. The most common manifestation is polygamy. Most American women expect exclusivity in marriage. It provides financial and social security, as well as clear lines of inheritance for their children.
This is a complex topic since most Arab males do not engage in polygamy. Nonetheless, it is incumbent upon Westerners to understand that polygamy may be the force that most disrupts relations between Arabs and Westerners, because it causes an unnatural social condition where there is a chronic shortage of women. If one man takes four wives, three men go without. It is an arithmetical inevitability.
Image: An Arab man with his three wives and two servants (1892-1893).
In the olden days, this problem was addressed by attacking neighboring villages to kill the men and take the girls and women. Always the strong killing the weak. Moreover, these extra men made up a willing army to go to war since success led to family life, status, and a slave to keep house while the husband sat at the coffee house with his friends. This situation is best described as “women as objects.”
For the man, sexual appetite was always to be fulfilled upon demand. This made for some really unhappy women. Failure of the woman to comply or be happy about it could easily lead to the entrance of a new and younger wife. All children belonged to the men, so divorce would lead to women alone on the street, bereft of their children and means of support.
Now, we get to the hub of things. All men of every culture have always been exempt from diaper changing. There has always been the small but not zero possibility of his making the child into a sexual object—boy or girl—especially if marital relations were strained. Unfortunately, this insight is true of women as well, especially under conditions of unhappiness.
There is also the issue of the ever-present pure ignorance of the consequences of early sexual arousal. The infant, toddler, or child—as an object—is not in control of the stimulation of the one or the other parent. It is my contention that such early stimulation creates a form of confusion of sexuality and violence on the one hand and affection on the other.
Non-sexual affection draws the youngest members of the family closer together with parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, and even the occasional strangers who enter the house like family friends. However, if sexuality is imposed by others (including all of the above), that makes people, particularly children, afraid of one another. Sex is always an imposition. Thus, the need for affection that undercuts the innate violence of the sexual act.
The thesis here is that the dysfunctional Arab family reflects how sexuality is manifest in the early lives of the children.
I want to be very clear: In general, good, nice, and kind people (including Muslims) have been protected socially and sexually during their earliest years. Later, such people can offer affection and manifest altruism.
Children who have been abused socially and/or sexually from infancy will show various levels of pathology as adults. This is a simplified understanding of adult psychopathology that can arise from multiple sources, but being used as a sexual object early in life is a form of violence that makes later sexual expression a problem for the individual, perhaps without an easy, or even any, solution.
Most males in the Western world could not seek affection and closeness during sexual expression and then stand up and kill their partners. In the United States, we lock people up who rape and then murder.
Social structures that induce anger between men and women become a systematic source of their individual pathologies. Here, the social pathology is a mixing of sexuality and violence. Thus, war and rape have always been linked.
Still, there are differences between cultures. A nitwit whose name I’ve deliberately forgotten wrote a master’s thesis at Hebrew University arguing that Israeli soldiers do not rape Arab women during war because the soldiers are racist.
No, nitwit! The confusion between anger and sex is the pathological state. Gazan men apparently have received the lion’s share of this confusion from their earliest childhoods, as demonstrated by their actions in Israel. This conflation of sex and anger rolls from one generation to the next with permission and support from cultural norms.
Hamas and Amoral Clarity
What College support for Hamas reveals.
One unexpected blowback from the medieval Hamas’s barbaric murdering of hundreds of Israeli civilians is the revelation of current global amorality.
More than 20 Harvard university identity politics groups pledged their support to the Hamas murderers—to the utter silence for days of Harvard President Claudine Gay.
Americans knew higher education practiced racist admission policies. It has long promoted racially segregated dorms and graduations. And de facto it has destroyed the First Amendment.
But the overt support for Hamas killers by the diversity, equity, and inclusion crowd on a lot of campuses exposes to Americans the real moral and intellectual rot in higher education.
Democratic Socialist members of the new woke Democrat Party openly expressed ecstatic support for Hamas’s bloodwork.
Their biggest fears were not dead fellow Americans or hostages, or some 1,000 butchered Jewish civilians. Instead they were fearful that righteous Israeli retaliation might destroy the Hamas death machine.
Palestinians for years fooled naïfs in Europe and the Obama and Biden administrations into sending billions of dollars into Gaza.
These monies were channeled to tunnel into Israel, to obtain a huge rocket arsenal, and to craft plans to wipe out Jews.
The Biden administration has blood on its hands.
As soon as Biden took power, he resumed massive subsidies to radical Palestinians, canceled by the prior Trump administration.
He ignored warnings from his own state Department that such fungible moneys would soon fuel Hamas terrorism.
His administration dropped sanctions against Iran, ensuring that Tehran would enjoy a multi-billion-dollar windfall to be distributed to Israel’s existential enemies—another fact well known to the Biden administration.
If the Biden administration had announced overtly that it was rabidly anti-Israel, it would be hard to imagine anything it could have done differently from its present nihilist behavior.
Biden and company quickly restarted the defunct Iran appeasement deal—a leftover from the anti-Israeli Obama administration. No surprise, they appointed radical pro-Iranian activist Robert Malley to head the negotiations.
Malley allegedly has leaked American classified documents to Iranian officials and is under investigation by the FBI. He did his best to place pro-Iranian, anti-American activists into the high echelons of the U.S. government.
Biden was intent on forcing South Korea to release to Iran $6 billion in sanctioned frozen money.
That expectation of cash ensured Iran would be reimbursed for its present terrorist arming spree.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken shamefully tweeted that Israel should settle for an immediate ceasefire. No wonder he soon withdrew his unhinged posting.
That idiocy would be the moral equivalent of an American ally in December1941 urging the U.S. to seek negotiations with imperial Japan after its surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor—to avoid a “cycle of violence.”
The Biden team has drained strategic arms stockpiles in Israel, designed to help the Jewish state in extremis.
It recklessly abandoned a multibillion-dollar arms trove in Kabul, some of which reportedly made its way from Taliban killers to the Hamas murderers.
Once the mass murdering started, the amoral clarity of our “allies” was stunning.
NATO partner Turkey openly sided with the killers. It —along with Blinken—called for a cease fire—at the moment the Hamas death squads had finished, and Israel was ready to hold Hamas to account.
Qatar, where the U.S. Central Command is based, proved little more than a Hamas front.
It offers sanctuary to the architects of Hamas killing. And Qatar ensures a safe financial pipeline to Hamas from Iran and the radical Arab world.
Some of the most vehement current supporters of the Hamas death squads were immigrants to America from the Middle East.
Oddly, they apparently had fled just such illiberal Middle East regimes to reach a tolerant, democratic, and secure United States.
Yet they now endorse the Hamas butchering of Jewish civilians. Its savagery is aimed at executing, raping, and beheading Jews, and then mutilating their bodies.
Hamas apparently hopes to shock the Israeli government into voluntarily committing suicide—in line with the ancient Hamas agenda to destroy the Jewish state.
In a strange way, this reign of death has become a touchstone, an acid test of sorts that has revealed the utter amorality of enemies abroad and quite dangerous people at home.
It is past time that Americans deal with the medieval world that was revealed this week rather than keep dreaming in the fantasy world of our government.
Americans need to stop illegal immigration and restore their southern border, while ceasing all immigration from unhinged, hostile nations.
The military must return to its deterrent role and fire its woke commissariat.
Our leaders must accept that in the last three years of the Biden administration, serial American appeasement abroad, disunity at home, and social chaos have encouraged an entire host of enemies —China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Middle East illiberal regimes, and former friends like Turkey and Qatar.
And our enemies dream of doing to us what we just saw in Israel.
Organizers Behind Pro-Palestinian ‘Insurrection’ at Capitol Have Pro-terror History
The pro-Palestinian protesters who staged an “insurrection” on Wednesday by illegally occupying a Capitol office building were led, in part, by a group that calls itself “Jewish Voice for Peace” (JVP) but has a history of supporting Palestinian terrorists.
As Breitbart News reported:
Pro-Palestinian protesters, who want a ceasefire that would benefit the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza, stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and staged a protest inside the Cannon Rotunda that one observer likened to an “insurrection.”
The Cannon Rotunda is part of the Cannon House Office Building. It is separate from the iconic Capitol building but is considered part of the Capitol complex. It is the oldest congressional office building on Capitol Hill.
…
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who falsely accused Israel of bombing a Gaza hospital Tuesday, addressed the protesters.
As The Hill reported, three protesters were arrested for assaulting police officers.
The demonstration, it noted, was “organized jointly by the Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and IfNotNow” — both radical left-wing organizations that oppose the State of Israel.
IfNotNow supports radical anti-Israel Reps. Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). In addition, as Breitbart News noted in 2019:
IfNotNow seeks to disrupt the connections that many American Jewish organizations have with Israel. It blames American Jewish support for Israel for the persistence of the Israeli occupation of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), though most Palestinians in that territory live under the administration of the Palestinian Authority.
In addition to staging sit-ins and protests, members of IfNotNow attempt to infiltrate Jewish summer camps and tours of Israel, where they launch demonstrations or expose the mainstream Jewish community to anti-Israel propaganda.
In one episode in 2018, members of IfNotNow were arrested while reciting the Kaddish — the traditional Jewish prayer for the dead — near the offices of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, memorializing Palestinians killed in “protests” at the Gaza border. (The vast majority of Palestinians killed were members of Hamas, and they were trying to infiltrate Israel to carry out attacks, not stage a non-violent protest against Israeli policies.)
Recently, JVP spoke at a “Free Palestine” rally in Dearborn, Michigan, that defended Hamas. The JVP representative did not criticize the terror attack against Israelis — but did, ironically, criticize peace agreements between Israel and Arab states.
JVP, as Breitbart News has noted, also invited convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh — responsible for the murders of two Israelis in 1969 — to address its conference in Chicago in 2017 before she was deported for lying to U.S. immigration authorities.
Odeh remains an inspirational figure to the radical left in Chicago.
The Black Lives Matter (BLM) Chicago chapter took to X to defend Odeh in the aftermath of Hamas’s terrorist attacks on Israel, which left over 1,400 dead and well over 4,000 wounded, with more than 200 taken hostage.
“For everyone withdrawing support, saying they stood with us & now they’re removing signs, bye, toodles,” BLM Chicago posted on X. “We’ve always been for Palestinian freedom… we stood with Rasmea, there’s no way you could have been with us at any point & missed that to be shocked now.”
Odeh, who served ten years of a life sentence for the Super Market bombing murders of Leon Kaner, 21, and Edward Joffe, 22, was released in a prisoner swap for a captured Israeli soldier and subsequently made her way to the United States after allegedly lying to immigration officials, as Breitbart News noted.
In 2017, she cut a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors to avoid prison time and leave the country. She claimed the Department of Justice, led at that time by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, was “too racist” to bother challenging in court, as Breitbart News noted.
She found herself at the center of anti-Trump demonstrations and issued a defiant address in Chicago, Illinois, before her departure from America under the plea agreement, as Breitbart News reported.
In additional tweets in the aftermath of the attacks, BLM Chicago accused Israel of “terrorism” and “genocide” while also posting a now-deleted image of a silhouette with a parachute bearing a Palestinian flag, and attempted to walk the pro-terrorism post back the next day, as the Daily Beast noted.
The dysfunction of Black Lives Matter as an organization at large was on full display in another post. BLM Chicago shared a screen grab from what looked to be a Facebook page called “Blk LivesMatter,” which stated that the BLM Chicago account is “falsely claiming to be on behalf of the BLM Organization” and that it is an “independently run Twitter account” operated by one person.
“Good job to BLMG for reminding everyone we broke up with them years ago, & felt the need to tell everyone,” wrote the BLM Chicago page. “We aren’t surprised in the least that they’ve never been pro Palestine, & listed their follower numbers.”
In response, the official Black Lives Matter Twitter account wrote, “We never posted this.”
“Not sure who is running the BLM Chicago account, but it would be good for you to do some simple research before spreading fake news,” it added.
“Did we tag you? Between BLMGN & BLMGR we never know who did or does what & fingers point in all directions,” BLM Chicago responded. “Whoever wrote that we appreciate the reminder of the separation. You don’t know who’s running our account & we don’t know who yall even are.”
“Not sure who is running the BLM Chicago account, but it would be good for you to do some simple research before spreading fake news,” it added.

Americans have an abiding fascination with their presidents, especially with their foibles and secrets. Who lied? Who ordered illegal operations? Who had mistresses?
Thus was the country transfixed by Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, and the tawdry drip-drip of their liaison. When newly declassified documents revealed hitherto unknown CIA connections to Lee Harvey Oswald, this made a media splash, with Tucker Carlson asking: “Did the CIA have a hand in the murder of John F. Kennedy?”
But that fascination dies when it comes to Barack Obama, the Left’s quasi-sacred figure. About him, no curiosity, please, no gossip, and no hint of impropriety. When he falsely claimed in 1991 to have been born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii, blame fell on a sloppy literary agent. When Stanley Kurtz proved that Obama lied about not being a member of Chicago’s socialist New Party and a candidate for it, the Obama P.R. machine smeared Kurtz and the story disappeared.
When clear evidence showed that Obama had lied about having been born and raised a Muslim, the researcher who made the case was reviled, his investigation scorned, and his argument vaporized.
I should know, as I was that researcher. I wrote five times on this topic in 2007-08, during Obama’s first presidential campaign (three of those times in FrontPageMag.com) and then aggregated all this information, plus new details, in a long and (so far) definitive September 2012 article, “Obama’s Muslim Childhood,” serialized in the Washington Times.
All those writings emphasized that Obama was now a Christian. The first one began with:
“If I were a Muslim I would let you know,” Barack Obama has said, and I believe him. In fact, he is a practicing Christian, a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ. He is not now a Muslim. But was he ever a Muslim or seen by others as a Muslim?
I answered in the affirmative and showed how contradictory evidence concerning Obama’s religious background – from Obama’s father and name, from years in Indonesia, from his family, and most of all from himself – conclusively points to his being born and raised a Muslim.
Throughout, I emphasized not the Islam issue but the character issue; if Obama lies about something so fundamental, how can he be trusted? His other lies, such as Kenyan birth and socialist party non-membership, confirm this problem.
Responses came fast and hard. Ben Rhodes’ “echo chamber” nearly fainted at the impudence of my lèse majesté. Like Kurtz, I was slandered without the facts I presented ever addressed. Here’s a small sampling of the deluge:
· Ben Smith in Politico derided my analysis as “the template for a faux-legitimate assault on Obama’s religion.”
· The Spectator called mine the “the worst article on the presidential election” and also deemed it “mad” and “despicable.”
· Martin Peretz in the New Republic said I had “simply gone bonkers … and malicious.”
· Vice ran an article “Would You Care If Obama Were Muslim?” that responded to my carefully-crafted argument with “BLARGHA BLARGHA BLARGH REPEAL OBAMA BIN HUSSEIN’S GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF OUR JOBS.”
The Atlantic published no less than three attacks on the article and me. Mark Ambinder rued “the false notion that Obama is or was ever Muslim.” Andrew Sullivan dismissed my work as “toxins.” Matthew Yglesias ridiculed my saying that I believe Obama is not now a Muslim with “I, for one, believe Daniel Pipes when he says he’s not a child molester.”
And so it went, howling with outrage at the very thought of Obama as a Muslim, mocking and taunting me with ad hominem attacks, speculating about my motives. So relentless was the onslaught, even the conservative press overwhelmingly shied away from the topic. The McCain and Romney campaigns both treated the topic like Kryptonite. The issue of Obama’s lies had no impact on either presidential campaign, both of which – of course – Obama won.
I expect that, at some future time when Barack Obama loses his sacral quality, historians will take great interest in his childhood religious affiliation. They will wonder how, in the information-heavy, politically-riven, and celebrity-mad culture of early twenty-first century United States, so gigantic a biographical inconvenience could be successfully hidden and rendered taboo. They will study how, in a modern democratic society, a determined candidate can suppress even the most important and relevant information.
I look forward to the vindication.

So, it’s all about the Benjamins after all!
In 2019, Rep. Ilan Omar let her views on Jews be known when she tweeted, “It’s all about the Benjamins, baby" in a sleazy reference to hundred dollar bills.
Surprisingly, but to its credit, the entire Democratic Caucus condemned Omar’s comments.
But
what about those Benjamins? Have you ever wondered why so many of
America’s youth, in colleges and universities and even public government
schools, have a vociferous, cult-like admiration for all things Arab,
and in particular, all things Palestinian? And their dislike for Jews,
Israel and secondarily America?
How does this fixation fit with their fixation with social justice, equity, and intersectionality?
It doesn’t!
How does this youthful zeal for all things Palestinian jive with the manner in which Palestinians treat women?
It doesn’t.
How
does this zeal for all things Palestinian blandly co-exist with the
disdain, disfigurement, and even death of LGBTQ members when discovered
by the Islamists among them?
It doesn’t?
Omar’s Benjamins
comment was the ultimate in projection. For decades, a waterfall of
Benjamins have been flooding American colleges and universities from a
multitude of Arab countries.
These Benjamins come from Qatar, Oman, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries.
This research study published at the Jewish Virtual Library tells us a lot:
According to the Department of Education (DoE), between 1986 and 2021, colleges and universities received nearly $8.5 billion from Arab sources. Although the department has cracked down, and universities have reported previously unreported gifts and contracts, we don’t know how many have not been disclosed. Even more concerning is that after issuing reports disclosing some of the names of giftors, the DoE has agreed not to provide the names or addresses of donors.
The New York Times magazine has reported on this, too:
Saudi Arabia directed about $650 million to American universities from 2012 to 2018 and ranks third on the list of foreign sources of money, one spot behind Britain, according to data contained in the foreign gifts report. The top spot is occupied by Qatar, another oil-rich Persian Gulf state and a bitter rival of Saudi Arabia.
All
the poor struggling colleges and universities and treating hospitals
welcome their largesse, among which are: Harvard, Penn (recall their
recent Palestine Writes convention) Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, M.D.
Anderson and the Mayo Clinic.
Naturally, the Arabs wanted a
significant something for their financial benevolence. The donees
complied. All of a sudden, colleges discovered Middle Eastern Studies.
Departments
were created, “chairs” and scholarships established - all in the
furtherance of brainwashing our students to believe: Arab good,
Israeli/Jew bad, America evil.
So the mindless, monolithic
protesting and marching against Israel and Jews we are now witnessing is
the result of a highly successful propaganda campaign that has spanned
decades, fuelled with Arab Benjamins.
Sadly, the Arab
Benjamins have created a generation of young useless idiots whose moral
compasses are as craven as Hitler’s Nazi youth. They are infused with
fury and a total lack of human compassion and empathy. How else can
they replay and distribute gleefully on social media, the horrors Hamas
heaped on Israelis? How else can they celebrate and dance with joy at
this monstrous earth-shattering madness? Why do they think America is
evil?
One can hope that every one of these little monsters are
doxxed, canceled, and fired if they are already employed. One can hope
that not another penny of taxpayer or personal donations go to any
institution already rolling in Arab Benjamins and complying with Arab
bidding.

BLM IS NOTHING BUT A CULT OF BLACK HATE, VIOLENCE AND 'MISSING FUNDS'.
Inside Black Lives Matter's Long History With Hamas-Friendly Activists
Black Lives Matter chapters across the country made waves last week when they excused and explained away Hamas’s attack on Israel.
A coalition of 26 local chapters called the attacks a "desperate act of self-defense." The Chicago chapter shared an image glorifying Hamas gunmen on paragliders, before walking it back amid blowback. And the movement’s Phoenix branch praised Hamas "freedom fighters" for their acts of "resistance."
Echoing this rhetoric are two Hamas-friendly groups—American Muslims for Palestine and the Council for American-Islamic Relations—that have for nearly a decade worked arm-in-arm with the Black Lives Matter organization to plan rallies and lobby lawmakers.
The groups are united by an "oppressed-oppressor narrative that helps them destroy society," according to the Heritage Foundation's Mike Gonzalez.
"They see Israel as a kind of mini-me of the West and America," Gonzalez told the Washington Free Beacon. "They hate the West. Jerusalem is one of the founding blocks of Western thought, so if they're going to hate the West they have to hate Israel."
American Muslims for Palestine, whose board includes a man, Salah Sarsour, who helped raise funds for a Hamas front group in the late 1990s, declared itself "firmly in solidarity with Black Americans" and demanded "Justice for George Floyd" in 2020. It organized Black Lives Matter rallies in Dallas in 2020 and the following year cosponsored a rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial to demand the Biden administration to sanction Israel.
Speaking at the American Muslims for Palestine event in 2021, one Black Lives Matter leader articulated the groups’ shared commitment to destroying Israel.
"Black people know when Zionists try to twist the words of black brothers across the world," Black Lives Matter DC organizer Anthony Lorenzo Green said "I’m not just an ally, I’m your comrade. I’m in this struggle with you. Our struggles our connected. That’s why Palestinian flags were flying at Black Lives Matter protests last year and years before that."
"That’s why we can speak clearly that Israel is an apartheid state," Green declared, adding "From D.C. to Palestine, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." "From the river to the sea" is a slogan used by Hamas and other anti-Semitic groups to call for the destruction of the Jewish state.
The Council for American Islamic Relations, whose cofounder and executive director Nihad Awad has called Israel a "settler colonial Apartheid state," was a vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter in 2020. A federal judge in 2007 found "ample evidence to establish the association" between CAIR and Hamas. CAIR lobbied Congress for a police reform act supported by Black Lives Matter and displayed a Black Lives Matter banner in front of its Washington, D.C. headquarters, while local CAIR chapters organized protests with their Black Lives Matter counterparts throughout the Summer of 2020.
Black Lives Matter’s cozy relationship with the Hamas-friendly groups may come as a shock to the movement’s Jewish allies, given that 600 prominent Jewish organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League, signed a letter and published a full-page ad in the New York Times in August 2020 expressing their unequivocal support of Black Lives Matter.
Black Lives Matter's ties with the groups dates back to 2014, when Palestinian activists advised black rioters in Ferguson, Mo., on how to resist the police. Their efforts earned accolades from prominent Black Lives Matter leaders such as DeRay Mckesson, who credited Palestinian protesters for teaching rioters "what to do when we got tear-gassed."
Rep. Cori Bush (D., Mo.), who said cutting off American support of Israel was the only way to put a stop to Hamas terror, honored Palestinian activist Bassem Masri during a speech on the House floor in May 2021 for resisting and rebelling with rioters in Ferguson.
Black Lives Matter solidified its ties with Palestinian forces in 2015 when its leaders embarked on a 10-day trip to Israel to "experience and see firsthand the occupation, ethnic cleansing and brutality Israel has levied against Palestinians" and to build relationships with people in the region "leading the fight for liberation."
During that trip, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors organized a flash mob in Nazareth specifically to support the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel. Cullors resigned from Black Lives Matter in 2021 amid allegations of financial misconduct and now earns a living as a nude performance artist.
The following year, the Movement for Black Lives, a close ally of Black Lives Matter, released a policy platform that labeled Israel an apartheid state and called for the end of the "Israeli occupation of Palestine." The policy platform earned the unequivocal support of Students for Justice in Palestine, whose chapters have issued statements honoring Hamas "martyrs" who murdered Jewish children earlier this month.

Sexual chaos in the Arab world drives some of its grotesque violence
During the attack on Israel, a member of Hamas grabs a Jewish girl. He lies down on top of her, comes to orgasm, stands up, and shoots her. What kind of sadistic twists were already present in his head that allowed the softness of sexual relations to be entwined with the violence of murder?
No one asks this question in America because it means looking deeper than most people want. But it needs to be asked since it is central to the problem of future peace or the lack thereof. Everyone knows there are cultural differences between people. Do some differences make it impossible to co-mingle groups? Yes, indeed! It is particularly true in the case of Arabs and Jews.
Sexuality between family members among the Jews is seen as destructive to family unity. Violations are condemned roundly. Among Arabs, sexuality is part of the family package. The most common manifestation is polygamy. Most American women expect exclusivity in marriage. It provides financial and social security, as well as clear lines of inheritance for their children.
This is a complex topic since most Arab males do not engage in polygamy. Nonetheless, it is incumbent upon Westerners to understand that polygamy may be the force that most disrupts relations between Arabs and Westerners, because it causes an unnatural social condition where there is a chronic shortage of women. If one man takes four wives, three men go without. It is an arithmetical inevitability.
Image: An Arab man with his three wives and two servants (1892-1893).
In the olden days, this problem was addressed by attacking neighboring villages to kill the men and take the girls and women. Always the strong killing the weak. Moreover, these extra men made up a willing army to go to war since success led to family life, status, and a slave to keep house while the husband sat at the coffee house with his friends. This situation is best described as “women as objects.”
For the man, sexual appetite was always to be fulfilled upon demand. This made for some really unhappy women. Failure of the woman to comply or be happy about it could easily lead to the entrance of a new and younger wife. All children belonged to the men, so divorce would lead to women alone on the street, bereft of their children and means of support.
Now, we get to the hub of things. All men of every culture have always been exempt from diaper changing. There has always been the small but not zero possibility of his making the child into a sexual object—boy or girl—especially if marital relations were strained. Unfortunately, this insight is true of women as well, especially under conditions of unhappiness.
There is also the issue of the ever-present pure ignorance of the consequences of early sexual arousal. The infant, toddler, or child—as an object—is not in control of the stimulation of the one or the other parent. It is my contention that such early stimulation creates a form of confusion of sexuality and violence on the one hand and affection on the other.
Non-sexual affection draws the youngest members of the family closer together with parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, and even the occasional strangers who enter the house like family friends. However, if sexuality is imposed by others (including all of the above), that makes people, particularly children, afraid of one another. Sex is always an imposition. Thus, the need for affection that undercuts the innate violence of the sexual act.
The thesis here is that the dysfunctional Arab family reflects how sexuality is manifest in the early lives of the children.
I want to be very clear: In general, good, nice, and kind people (including Muslims) have been protected socially and sexually during their earliest years. Later, such people can offer affection and manifest altruism.
Children who have been abused socially and/or sexually from infancy will show various levels of pathology as adults. This is a simplified understanding of adult psychopathology that can arise from multiple sources, but being used as a sexual object early in life is a form of violence that makes later sexual expression a problem for the individual, perhaps without an easy, or even any, solution.
Most males in the Western world could not seek affection and closeness during sexual expression and then stand up and kill their partners. In the United States, we lock people up who rape and then murder.
Social structures that induce anger between men and women become a systematic source of their individual pathologies. Here, the social pathology is a mixing of sexuality and violence. Thus, war and rape have always been linked.
Still, there are differences between cultures. A nitwit whose name I’ve deliberately forgotten wrote a master’s thesis at Hebrew University arguing that Israeli soldiers do not rape Arab women during war because the soldiers are racist.
No, nitwit! The confusion between anger and sex is the pathological state. Gazan men apparently have received the lion’s share of this confusion from their earliest childhoods, as demonstrated by their actions in Israel. This conflation of sex and anger rolls from one generation to the next with permission and support from cultural norms.
Hamas and Amoral Clarity
What College support for Hamas reveals.
One unexpected blowback from the medieval Hamas’s barbaric murdering of hundreds of Israeli civilians is the revelation of current global amorality.
More than 20 Harvard university identity politics groups pledged their support to the Hamas murderers—to the utter silence for days of Harvard President Claudine Gay.
Americans knew higher education practiced racist admission policies. It has long promoted racially segregated dorms and graduations. And de facto it has destroyed the First Amendment.
But the overt support for Hamas killers by the diversity, equity, and inclusion crowd on a lot of campuses exposes to Americans the real moral and intellectual rot in higher education.
Democratic Socialist members of the new woke Democrat Party openly expressed ecstatic support for Hamas’s bloodwork.
Their biggest fears were not dead fellow Americans or hostages, or some 1,000 butchered Jewish civilians. Instead they were fearful that righteous Israeli retaliation might destroy the Hamas death machine.
Palestinians for years fooled naïfs in Europe and the Obama and Biden administrations into sending billions of dollars into Gaza.
These monies were channeled to tunnel into Israel, to obtain a huge rocket arsenal, and to craft plans to wipe out Jews.
The Biden administration has blood on its hands.
As soon as Biden took power, he resumed massive subsidies to radical Palestinians, canceled by the prior Trump administration.
He ignored warnings from his own state Department that such fungible moneys would soon fuel Hamas terrorism.
His administration dropped sanctions against Iran, ensuring that Tehran would enjoy a multi-billion-dollar windfall to be distributed to Israel’s existential enemies—another fact well known to the Biden administration.
If the Biden administration had announced overtly that it was rabidly anti-Israel, it would be hard to imagine anything it could have done differently from its present nihilist behavior.
Biden and company quickly restarted the defunct Iran appeasement deal—a leftover from the anti-Israeli Obama administration. No surprise, they appointed radical pro-Iranian activist Robert Malley to head the negotiations.
Malley allegedly has leaked American classified documents to Iranian officials and is under investigation by the FBI. He did his best to place pro-Iranian, anti-American activists into the high echelons of the U.S. government.
Biden was intent on forcing South Korea to release to Iran $6 billion in sanctioned frozen money.
That expectation of cash ensured Iran would be reimbursed for its present terrorist arming spree.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken shamefully tweeted that Israel should settle for an immediate ceasefire. No wonder he soon withdrew his unhinged posting.
That idiocy would be the moral equivalent of an American ally in December1941 urging the U.S. to seek negotiations with imperial Japan after its surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor—to avoid a “cycle of violence.”
The Biden team has drained strategic arms stockpiles in Israel, designed to help the Jewish state in extremis.
It recklessly abandoned a multibillion-dollar arms trove in Kabul, some of which reportedly made its way from Taliban killers to the Hamas murderers.
Once the mass murdering started, the amoral clarity of our “allies” was stunning.
NATO partner Turkey openly sided with the killers. It —along with Blinken—called for a cease fire—at the moment the Hamas death squads had finished, and Israel was ready to hold Hamas to account.
Qatar, where the U.S. Central Command is based, proved little more than a Hamas front.
It offers sanctuary to the architects of Hamas killing. And Qatar ensures a safe financial pipeline to Hamas from Iran and the radical Arab world.
Some of the most vehement current supporters of the Hamas death squads were immigrants to America from the Middle East.
Oddly, they apparently had fled just such illiberal Middle East regimes to reach a tolerant, democratic, and secure United States.
Yet they now endorse the Hamas butchering of Jewish civilians. Its savagery is aimed at executing, raping, and beheading Jews, and then mutilating their bodies.
Hamas apparently hopes to shock the Israeli government into voluntarily committing suicide—in line with the ancient Hamas agenda to destroy the Jewish state.
In a strange way, this reign of death has become a touchstone, an acid test of sorts that has revealed the utter amorality of enemies abroad and quite dangerous people at home.
It is past time that Americans deal with the medieval world that was revealed this week rather than keep dreaming in the fantasy world of our government.
Americans need to stop illegal immigration and restore their southern border, while ceasing all immigration from unhinged, hostile nations.
The military must return to its deterrent role and fire its woke commissariat.
Our leaders must accept that in the last three years of the Biden administration, serial American appeasement abroad, disunity at home, and social chaos have encouraged an entire host of enemies —China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Middle East illiberal regimes, and former friends like Turkey and Qatar.
And our enemies dream of doing to us what we just saw in Israel.
Organizers Behind Pro-Palestinian ‘Insurrection’ at Capitol Have Pro-terror History
The pro-Palestinian protesters who staged an “insurrection” on Wednesday by illegally occupying a Capitol office building were led, in part, by a group that calls itself “Jewish Voice for Peace” (JVP) but has a history of supporting Palestinian terrorists.
As Breitbart News reported:
Pro-Palestinian protesters, who want a ceasefire that would benefit the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza, stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and staged a protest inside the Cannon Rotunda that one observer likened to an “insurrection.”
The Cannon Rotunda is part of the Cannon House Office Building. It is separate from the iconic Capitol building but is considered part of the Capitol complex. It is the oldest congressional office building on Capitol Hill.
…
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who falsely accused Israel of bombing a Gaza hospital Tuesday, addressed the protesters.
As The Hill reported, three protesters were arrested for assaulting police officers.
The demonstration, it noted, was “organized jointly by the Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and IfNotNow” — both radical left-wing organizations that oppose the State of Israel.
IfNotNow supports radical anti-Israel Reps. Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). In addition, as Breitbart News noted in 2019:
IfNotNow seeks to disrupt the connections that many American Jewish organizations have with Israel. It blames American Jewish support for Israel for the persistence of the Israeli occupation of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), though most Palestinians in that territory live under the administration of the Palestinian Authority.
In addition to staging sit-ins and protests, members of IfNotNow attempt to infiltrate Jewish summer camps and tours of Israel, where they launch demonstrations or expose the mainstream Jewish community to anti-Israel propaganda.
In one episode in 2018, members of IfNotNow were arrested while reciting the Kaddish — the traditional Jewish prayer for the dead — near the offices of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, memorializing Palestinians killed in “protests” at the Gaza border. (The vast majority of Palestinians killed were members of Hamas, and they were trying to infiltrate Israel to carry out attacks, not stage a non-violent protest against Israeli policies.)
Recently, JVP spoke at a “Free Palestine” rally in Dearborn, Michigan, that defended Hamas. The JVP representative did not criticize the terror attack against Israelis — but did, ironically, criticize peace agreements between Israel and Arab states.
JVP, as Breitbart News has noted, also invited convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh — responsible for the murders of two Israelis in 1969 — to address its conference in Chicago in 2017 before she was deported for lying to U.S. immigration authorities.
Odeh remains an inspirational figure to the radical left in Chicago.
The Black Lives Matter (BLM) Chicago chapter took to X to defend Odeh in the aftermath of Hamas’s terrorist attacks on Israel, which left over 1,400 dead and well over 4,000 wounded, with more than 200 taken hostage.
“For everyone withdrawing support, saying they stood with us & now they’re removing signs, bye, toodles,” BLM Chicago posted on X. “We’ve always been for Palestinian freedom… we stood with Rasmea, there’s no way you could have been with us at any point & missed that to be shocked now.”
Odeh, who served ten years of a life sentence for the Super Market bombing murders of Leon Kaner, 21, and Edward Joffe, 22, was released in a prisoner swap for a captured Israeli soldier and subsequently made her way to the United States after allegedly lying to immigration officials, as Breitbart News noted.
In 2017, she cut a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors to avoid prison time and leave the country. She claimed the Department of Justice, led at that time by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, was “too racist” to bother challenging in court, as Breitbart News noted.
She found herself at the center of anti-Trump demonstrations and issued a defiant address in Chicago, Illinois, before her departure from America under the plea agreement, as Breitbart News reported.
In additional tweets in the aftermath of the attacks, BLM Chicago accused Israel of “terrorism” and “genocide” while also posting a now-deleted image of a silhouette with a parachute bearing a Palestinian flag, and attempted to walk the pro-terrorism post back the next day, as the Daily Beast noted.
The dysfunction of Black Lives Matter as an organization at large was on full display in another post. BLM Chicago shared a screen grab from what looked to be a Facebook page called “Blk LivesMatter,” which stated that the BLM Chicago account is “falsely claiming to be on behalf of the BLM Organization” and that it is an “independently run Twitter account” operated by one person.
“Good job to BLMG for reminding everyone we broke up with them years ago, & felt the need to tell everyone,” wrote the BLM Chicago page. “We aren’t surprised in the least that they’ve never been pro Palestine, & listed their follower numbers.”
In response, the official Black Lives Matter Twitter account wrote, “We never posted this.”
“Not sure who is running the BLM Chicago account, but it would be good for you to do some simple research before spreading fake news,” it added.
“Did we tag you? Between BLMGN & BLMGR we never know who did or does what & fingers point in all directions,” BLM Chicago responded. “Whoever wrote that we appreciate the reminder of the separation. You don’t know who’s running our account & we don’t know who yall even are.”
