THE WAR ON X: WW III • The Global War Against Islamic Terrorism — Day 17

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Today, October 24th, 2023 is the 17th day of the The Global War Against Islamic Terrorism.

We are now finding out just how barbaric Hamas is.

Hundreds of journalists and photographers from media companies all over the world attended today the screening of a film of assorted footage showing the extent of the horrors committed by Hamas.

Footage was taken from numerous sources, including from bodycams worn by the terrorists, dashcams, from emergency rescue personnel and Israeli security service cameras.

What they saw left many of the reporters visibly shocked and disgusted.

Watch the full Shin Bet interrogation of Hamas terrorists who invaded Israel on October 7th.

Middle East correspondent Jotam Confino reports:

I just saw indescribable, raw footage of Hamas’ massacre along with 100 other international journalists, provided by Israeli authorities.

Here are the notes I took:

  • Hamas terrorist screaming Allah Akhbah as he frantically tries to behead a dead man with a shovel.
  • A father and two sons (roughly 7 & 9) running for their lives in their underwear into what appears to be a bomb shelter with an open entrance. A Hamas terrorist throws a hand grenade into shelter, killing the father, and badly injuring the two sons who run back into the house
  • Hamas terrorists setting fire to a house in a kibbutz.
  • A beheaded Israeli soldier.
  • Photo of dead baby and child burned beyond recognition.
  • Hamas terrorists enter a house, where a small girl is seen hiding under the table. After some talking back and forth they shoot and kill her as she hides under the table. Hard to say how old she is but looks like 7-9 years old.
  • Scores of dead people on the road after Hamas executed them in their cars. Yelling Allahu Akhbah.
  • Hamas terrorist calling his parents: “I killed 10 Jews with my own hands. I’m using the dead Jewish woman’s phone to call you now.” The mother says “May god protect you.”
  • So many more scenes but I hope you get the gist. The authorities asked is not to film the screening out of respect for the relatives of the Israeli victims. If anyone has any doubt about what happened, I truly don’t know what to say anymore.
  • The two sons are screaming for their dad, saying they are gonna die. A Hamas terrorist casually and calmly takes a bottle of water from the family’s fridge and drinks it as the two boys weep.

Hamas terrorists were wearing body cameras and filming their own inhuman brutality and sharing it on social media sites. Depraved isn’t a strong enough word. This was planned as we have learned that these members of Hamas were also carrying instructions for deploying CYANIDE-Based chemical weapons in Israeli villages.

This is not new. This has been the plan all along.

The Most Persecuted Peoples in the World—The Followers of Jesus of Nazareth

/in , , , , , , , , /by

In a Christianity Today article titled “The 50 Countries Where It’s Hardest to Follow Jesus” the CT Editors report,

More than 5,600 Christians were killed for their faith last year. More than 2,100 churches were attacked or closed.

More than 124,000 Christians were forcibly displaced from their homes because of their faith, and almost 15,000 became refugees.

Sub-Saharan Africa—the epicenter of global Christianity—is now also the epicenter of violence against Christians, as Islamist extremism has spread well beyond Nigeria.

And North Korea is back at No. 1, according to the 2023 World Watch List (WWL), the latest annual accounting from Open Doors of the top 50 countries where it is most dangerous and difficult to be a Christian.

[ … ]

Islamic extremism continues to cause the most persecution (31 nations), especially in sub-Saharan Africa where Open Doors fears Nigeria will soon trigger “a vast humanitarian catastrophe” across the continent. Researchers also noted how China has increased digital restrictions and surveillance and is “forging a network of nations seeking to redefine human rights—away from universal standards and religious freedoms.” And a fourth Latin American country, Nicaragua, entered the list as authoritarian governments increasingly view Christians as voices of opposition.

[ … ]

Of the top 50 nations:

  • 11 have “extreme” levels of persecution and 39 have “very high” levels. Another five nations outside the top 50 also qualify as “very high”: Kenya, Kuwait, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, and Nepal. (Then OD tracks another 21 with “high” levels. The only nations to rise in level were Nicaragua and Sudan, while Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka were the only nations to drop in level.)
  • 19 are in Africa, 27 are in Asia, and 4 are in Latin America.
  • 34 have Islam as a main religion, 4 have Buddhism, 1 has Hinduism, 1 has atheism, 1 has agnosticism—and 10 have Christianity. (Nigeria is 50/50 Muslim-Christian.)

Where It’s Hardest to Follow Jesus:

1. North Korea
2. Somalia
3. Yemen
4. Eritrea
5. Libya
6. Nigeria
7. Pakistan
8. Iran
9. Afghanistan
10. Sudan
11. India

Where Christians Were Martyred Most:

1. Nigeria: 5,014
2. Name withheld: 100*
3. Mozambique: 100*
4. Democratic Republic of Congo 100*
5. Central African Republic: 61
6. Myanmar: 42
7. Colombia: 21
8. India: 17
9. Mexico: 14
10. Honduras: 14
11. Pakistan: 12

*Estimate | Open Doors reporting period: Oct. 2021 to Sept. 2022

Read the full article.

Where it’s hardest to follow Jesus

Here are some of the nations where it’s hardest to follow Jesus:

North Korea #1

North Korea has returned to no. 1 with the highest levels of persecution ever seen. Its score of 98, an all-time high, reflects an increase in arrests of Christians, and house-churches discovered and closed – under the new ‘anti-reactionary thought law’.

Nigeria #6

Christians continue to be brutally attacked in Northern Nigeria. Boko Haram, ISWAP, Fulani militants and other armed bandits have conducted devastating raids on Christian communities. The government continues to deny this is religious persecution, so violations of Christians’ rights have been carried out with impunity.

China #16

In China, the use of digital surveillance technology is spreading, adding to persecution and intimidation. As digital tools became more sophisticated, so did the Chinese government. Beijing employed censorship, disinformation and unblinking surveillance to ratchet up control

Nicaragua #50

Nicaragua has entered the top 50 for the first time. This reflects government repression which escalated since the April 2018 protests. The reputation of authority and legitimacy the Church has in the country has made it a particular target. Church buildings were damaged, TV stations and colleges closed, religious leaders expelled.

Primary Sources of Christian Persecution

Open Doors categorizes the primary sources of Christian persecution into eight groups:

Islamic oppression (31 countries): This is the main source of persecution that Christians face in more than half of the watch list countries, including 8 of the top 10 overall. Most of the 31 are officially Muslim nations or have Muslim majorities; however, 5 actually have Christian majorities: Nigeria, CAR (No. 24), DRC (No. 37), Mozambique (No. 32), and Cameroon (No. 45). (Additionally this is the main driver in 15 nations with enough persecution to be tracked by Open Doors but ranking below the watchlist’s cutoff, including Christian-majority Kenya and Tanzania.)

Dictatorial paranoia (9 countries): This is the main source of persecution that Christians face in nine countries, mostly in nations with Muslim majorities—Syria (No. 12), Uzbekistan (No. 21), Turkmenistan (No. 26), Bangladesh (No. 30), Tajikistan (No. 44), and Kazakhstan (No. 48)—but also in Eritrea (No. 4), Cuba (No. 27), and Nicaragua (No. 50). (Also in six nations being tracked: Angola, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Burundi, Rwanda, and Venezuela.)

Communist and post-communist oppression (4 countries): This is the main source of persecution that Christians face in four countries, all in Asia: North Korea (No. 1), China (No. 16), Vietnam (No. 25), and Laos (No. 31).

Religious nationalism (3 countries): This is the main source of persecution that Christians face in three nations, all in Asia. Christians are primarily targeted by Hindu nationalists in India (No. 11) and by Buddhist nationalists in Myanmar (No. 14) and Bhutan (No. 40). (Also in three nations being tracked: Israel, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.)

Organized crime and corruption (2 countries): This is the main source of persecution that Christians face in Colombia (No. 22) and Mexico (No. 38). (Also in three nations being tracked: El Salvador, Honduras, and South Sudan.)

Christian denominational protectionism (1 country): This is the main source of persecution that Christians face in Ethiopia (No. 39).

Secular intolerance (0 countries) and clan oppression (0 countries): Open Doors tracks these sources of persecution, but neither is the main source in any of the 50 countries on the 2023 list.

As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide

/in , , , , , , , /by

On Jan. 27, 1838, Abraham Lincoln spoke before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois, about “the perpetuation of our political institutions.” During that address, he said:

“At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad.

If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

The Solution

Abraham Lincoln went on to state,

The question recurs, “how shall we fortify against it?”

The answer is simple.

Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others.

As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor;—let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children’s liberty.

Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap—let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs;—let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.

And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues, and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.

Eat Meat and You Will Kill the Planet

/in , , , , , , , , /by

C40 Cities – A global network of mayors taking urgent climate action is group of mayors that are united in action to address the Climate Crisis. There is no climate crisis. It is a hoax devised to control all land and food.  Through years of clever marketing in schools the Globalists have indoctrinated the Affirmative Action graduates that if they give up their rights and ownership of private property they will save the planet. Using food as a weapon they have convinced the students to live in a world without CO2 and any other “greenhouse gas” in order to benefit the common good. A world without CO2 and greenhouse gases will have no life. Basically graduates now in government and bureaucratic positions are being coached to kill off the human race.  The Globalist goal is always depopulation.

Globalists have convinced the masses that living a sustainable lifestyle, a life under strict control of elites will save the planet from extreme weather (a lie).  What easier way to force farmers off their land than to condemn cows as the culprit claiming cows are destroying the planet by expelling greenhouse gases.  Of course they never mention that 95% of greenhouse gas is water vapor. 5% of the rest of the gases left can not  affect anything but students without a math or science background will never understand that.

Picking on the very food, meat, that supplies much needed protein to the human race is the problem globalists claim. More than 1,600 scientists and other scholars sign ‘No Climate Emergency’ declaration | The College Fix.  Eliminating protein from the diet weakens the body.  You have less energy, ambition, confidence and patience.  You will comply which is the goal. The purpose of the Climate Hoax is nothing more than to convince you to do more for less, redistribute wealth out of the hands of the middle class into the hands of the elite and to make sure you will own nothing and they will be happy.

Because of the American focus on the god of money, mayors of 14 American cities have jumped on the bandwagon and will follow the restrictions of UN Agenda 2030 and ban meat.  Mayor of NYC, Eric Adams, has already started banning meat in public governed agencies like schools and prisons.

These 14 US Cities Have A ‘Target’ Of Banning Meat By 2030

Today foreign countries own and control much of the food source in America. Who knows what we are eating or how it is made?  China controls the world’s largest pork processor and hog producer, Smithfield Foods. After China knowingly gave us Covid, how do we know what is in our bacon?  However some states are waking up to the dangers of foreign countries with the destruction of Americans as their goal, owning American farmland. It is a bad idea all around.  George Bush 41, allowed foreign countries to “buy” America with Executive Order 12803. An Executive Order IS NOT a law. Time to repeal that one.

Governor Sanders is the first to sign such a bill. The bill tells China they have 2 years to divest of the farmland of Arkansas.

Arizona Governor Hobbs just blocked Saudi Arabia from pumping water for their farmland while Arizona suffered a 15 year drought. The problem I have is with the lies in the last paragraph of the article which guides the reader into thinking they can fix the drought by giving up fossil fuel and meat.

“Human-related air pollution is one of the key drivers of global heating, so moving away from dirty fuel, cutting meat consumption, and recycling are small but helpful ways to prevent the volumes of harmful, planet-warming gases we produce annually.”

Scientist need grants to survive so they publish articles that leave out facts in order to  tow the line of the Globalists narrative.   The media then carries the false narrative.  Lying about meat is one of those lies.  Once farmers are restricted enough their land becomes useless and the Globalists get to buy the land for pennies on the dollar.

Control the food, control the people. Hungry people are not interested and have no energy for fighting the very government who will feed them.

Learn the truth. Sustainability means control.

Will you comply?

“WHAT I SAW”: Foreign Press Screens Gruesome Videos Of Atrocities [Too Graphic for Public Release] Collected from Hamas

Biden is Blocking Israeli Ground Assault on Hamas

/in , , , , , , /by

U.S. and European governments have joined to put pressure on Israel.

Some are wondering why Israel hasn’t begun the ground assault on Hamas yet. The answer is in Washington D.C.

After the Hamas atrocities, Israel went on a full war footing. 300,000 Israelis have been evacuated from front line areas and the IDF mobilized 300,000 troops. Those are people who are not with their families or working, some flew in from abroad. This makes Israel one of the most mobilized nations in the world. But it can’t keep that up forever.

But instead of going in, everyone is waiting because D.C. and the EU want to hold off an assault on Hamas.

U.S. and European governments have joined to put pressure on Israel to hold off on its ground invasion of Gaza to allow more time to win the release of hostages held by Hamas, U.S. and foreign officials said.

Several countries have been trying to leverage their contacts with Hamas to press the militant group to release the hostages taken during their onslaught on Israel earlier this month. One U.S. official had said that Qatar’s government had been very helpful on the matter, but noted the difficulties of reaching an agreement given Israel’s bombardment of Gaza and the spiraling humanitarian crisis there.

Qatar is a state sponsor of Hamas. It’s harboring Hamas leaders. Before the Hamas attack on Israel, Qatar very helpfully negotiated a truce.

And now that the U.S. and the EU have made it clear that they can stop Israel from taking out Hamas as leverage for the hostages, Hamas has no reason to release the hostages.

Those hostages are the only reason IDF soldiers aren’t in Gaza City right now.

Rather than securing their release, they’ve made them more valuable as hostages.

What did Hamas buy with the release of two female American hostages? The conviction by D.C. diplomats that they can get more released if they just spend more time negotiating with Hamas.

The United States is pressing Israel to hold off on a ground invasion of Gaza to allow for more time for hostage negotiations, according to a CNN report published Sunday.

“The [administration] pressed Israeli leadership to delay because of progress on the hostage front,” a person familiar with the U.S.-Israel talks told the cable network, one of two sources it cited in its report.

Asked on Meet the Press on Sunday about the U.S. delaying a possible ground incursion by Israel into Gaza, Secretary of State Antony Blinken sidestepped the question, but said they are not “second guessing” their ally.

On Saturday, President Joe Biden responded to a question about delaying a potential ground incursion by telling reporters: “I’m talking to the Israelis.”

It’s in Hamas’ interests to appear reasonable, but to hang on to enough hostages to slow any Israeli action.

And Hamas is doing just that with the able assistance of its useful idiots in D.C. and Europe.

“Hamas does not appear to have gotten anything concrete out of the Friday release of Americans Judith Tai Raanan and her 17-year-old daughter, Natalie Raanan,” CNN claims.

Hamas has gotten Israel to delay a ground assault. How much more concrete can you get?

‘We’re Prepared’: Americans Serving In The Israeli Military Readying For Possibility Of Gaza Ground Invasion

/in , , , , , , , /by

Two Americans serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) say they are prepared for possible orders to go into Gaza to engage in a ground invasion to destroy Hamas.

Ben and Hillel, who are both dual citizens of the U.S. and Israel, were called to the IDF reserves after Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel Oct. 7, killing, raping and kidnapping hundreds of civilians, they told the DCNF. Israeli officials have warned of a possible ground invasion of Gaza by the IDF, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Hillel was visiting the U.S. and observing the Jewish Sabbath when he heard about the surprise Hamas attack. Immediately, he knew he had to go fight.

“I was at the synagogue on Saturday morning, and someone came into the synagogue, she told me about what had happened,” Hillel, who left his wife and ten-month old baby at home in the U.S., told the DCNF.

“We are preparing for all possibilities. My unit has a very specific job … Our main and only goal is to both protect and defend the State of Israel and to make sure that something can never happen again,” Hillel said.

Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant recently told IDF troops mobilized near Gaza to “get organized” and “be ready,” according to CBS News. The IDF ordered Gazans to evacuate to southern Gaza “for their own safety and protection” on Oct. 13?

Israel has called up roughly 300,000 IDF reservists, which makes up roughly roughly 4% of the country’s population, in the wake of the Oct. 7 terrorist invasion, according to the Washington Post. The move marks the country’s largest mobilization of troops since the Yom Kippur war in 1973.

Ben, one of the reservists, told the DCNF that troops were unsure when or if they would get orders to commence a ground invasion. He and his unit are currently stationed near Gaza.

“I mean, to be completely honest, I have no idea. People are talking, maybe it’ll happen, maybe it won’t happen. We’re prepared for it. If we get that order, we will do it,” Ben, who is from California and is serving as a reservist in the IDF, told the DCNF.

Israel doesn’t plan to take control of Gaza after invading and taking out Hamas, according to the Associated Press, which cited comments from Gallant. Israel also doesn’t appear to have a plan for who would take over as the governing authority of Gaza should Hamas be toppled.

“This is not Israel versus Palestine … This is also all Western civilization, all democratic values that we stand for, progressive values and liberal values that we stand for in the Western world against evil and against terrorism and against Hamas,” Ben said. “Hamas is just one leg of the different terror groups that are around in our vicinity. They’re not even the only one within the Gaza Strip, there’s also Palestinian Islamic Jihad.”

Arik, a Green card holder from New Jersey serving in the IDF, wants to go into Gaza to rescue the hostages still being held by Hamas, he told the DCNF.

“I’m feeling very positive about it. I’m feeling that this is the right thing to do. I think we need to destroy Hamas. Israel cannot live with a border with ISIS. We cannot do it because Israel is the most beautiful country in the world and we cannot live with missiles,” Arik, who requested that his last name be withheld due to security concerns, said.

“We need to clear all the tunnels that restore the life to our citizens. And we need to be sure that there is no more missiles, that all the kidnapped are coming back, that all the babies are coming back to the parents. We can’t live with that, we just can’t. It’s not going to be a ceasefire. We need to bring our kids back,” Arik said.

Hamas terrorists took more than 200 hostages into Gaza on Oct. 7.

Meanwhile, Israel continues to strike terrorism targets in Gaza. It has also done the same in Lebanon with Hezbollah terror targets due to attempted attacks on northern Israel residents.

Hamas Fighters Were Promised $10,000 And An Apartment For Taking A Hostage, Captured Terrorist Tells Israelis

/in , , , , , , , , /by

A captured Hamas terrorist told Israeli interrogators the terrorists were promised $10,000 and an apartment for taking hostages, The Jerusalem Post reported Monday.

“[W]hoever brings a hostage back [to Gaza] gets $10,000 and an apartment,” one captured Hamas fighter who stormed Israel on Oct. 7 told his interrogators, the outlet reported.

Israeli intelligence announced their interrogations resulted in a number of similar themes. While Hamas commanders remained in Gaza, all Hamas agents who breached Israel’s borders Oct. 7 were given instructions to kill and kidnap Israelis, The Jerusalem Post reported.

When it came to killing Israelis, the agents were reportedly told not to distinguish between civilians and soldiers. When the Hamas terrorists were pressed on whether Islam permitted the acts they carried out, they responded, “No. Islam does not permit the killing of women and children,” The Jerusalem Post noted.

Money given to terrorists for violent acts is not a new phenomena in the region. The Palestinian Authority, led by Hamas’ rival Fatah, has a “pay to slay” policy, where money is given to any terrorist (or their families) when they participate in terror attacks against Israelis.

Hamas’ invasion into southern Israel was also fueled by Hamas agents reportedly taking drugs to help enhance their combat performance. Israeli war aims following the invasion are reportedly the ousting of Hamas from power in the Gaza Strip and “the creation of a new security regime” in Gaza.

Amid War, Naval Academy Seeks Another Gender and Sexuality Professor

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

In the Middle East, thousands of innocent civilians are losing their lives in the crossfire between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group. Since October 7, men, women, the elderly, children, and infants have become victims of war — and the fighting only continues. “This is very bad,” said Linda Robinson, a senior fellow for Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. “The risks for a wider war and for the region going back into full-scale war are very, very high.”

Women have been raped in the streets, babies are found decapitated, protests are breaking out globally, and the Naval Academy has decided to put their effort — not into lethal combat training — but gender and sexuality studies.

According to the Academy’s website, the school’s mission is to “develop Midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to graduate leaders who are dedicated to a career of naval service and … to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government.” Apparently, the Navy has interpreted that to mean hiring gender and sexuality “experts” and featuring drag queens in recruitment videos. And it’s not just the naval Academy.

The U.S. Military Academy, considered among the most “prestigious universities in the nation,” has also incorporated gender and sexuality into Army officer education. West Point and the Air Force Academy even offer a minor in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Additionally, Nellis Air Force Base has developed a track record of hosting drag shows, regardless of opposition.

National Review contacted the Naval Academy for clarification on the purpose of the new position and whether it “would prepare graduates to fight the nation’s war,” but officials did not respond. But in 2021, shortly after West Point added critical race theory to their curriculum, General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, denied that the armed forces were “going woke.” Rather, he stated it was a “complicated topic” he was “not going to address.”

However, Travis Weber, a Naval Academy graduate and vice president for Policy and Government Affairs at Family Research Council, did address it with The Washington Stand. “This job posting — while only one data point — is an indicator of where our nation’s military is focused. And it’s not good,” he said.

He insisted the U.S. should be focused on “fires burning around the world [such as] the Russia-Ukraine war, an emerging war involving Israel in the Middle East, Azerbaijan displacing the Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh in the blink of an eye without much notice from anyone, and the looming threat of China invading Taiwan.” But instead, the U.S. is “pouring our nation’s increasingly thinning economic resources into a tenure track faculty position at one of our nation’s top military institutions that is focused on ‘Gender and Sexuality Studies.’”

Lt. General (Ret.) William G. Boykin, FRC’s executive vice president, also shared his concern with TWS, stating that “the hiring of a gender and sexuality studies Professor for the Naval Academy is another example of how unaware this administration is in training and preparing young men and women for war and to be victorious.” He emphasized the Navy seems “oblivious” to what midshipmen really need.

Meg Kilgannon, senior fellow for Education Studies at FRC, agreed, adding that ironically, the more gender studies increase, “the less people [seem to] understand … men and women.” She continued, “Whether in the field of education or military service, basic understanding about how bodies work and human nature itself should be as uncomplicated as possible.”

Experts say that not only is this topic being overcomplicated by the LGBT narrative, it is also having devastating consequences on recruitment. According to The Heritage Foundation, “[L]eaders from the Army, Navy, and Air Force all dutifully reported that they expected to miss their annual recruiting goal this year by thousands.” Despite adding new benefits and bonuses, recruitment rates continue to worsen. Woke “actions are a major contributor to the low enlistment in all our military services,” Boykin said.

As military institutions prioritize gender and sexuality education and recruitment suffers, “China is taking advantage of our distracted world to deport hundreds of North Korean defectors back to North Korea — where they will almost certainly be sent to forced labor camps,” Weber emphasized. He further noted that the West’s influence is on decline, and the East is seeking to “take its place.”

What this means, Weber continued, is “an unstable, multipolar world order, in which violent flare-ups are more likely.” He concluded, “This is a world that needs American leadership, not American naval gazing. The diversion of resources into areas like this one faculty opening portrays a distracted America, not an America focused on dealing with the challenges of its day. We need an adjustment of our focus if we are going to effectively lead into the years ahead.”

As Boykin stated plainly: “It is time for the Navy and all other services to wake up and start providing good leadership.”

Hidden Marxism: Treating Immigrants Like Robots

/in , , , , , , /by

No matter which prominent side wins in our immigration debates, the U.S. loses for a simple reason: The contest pits people who hate the point against people who miss the point.

On one side are the large-I Immigrationists, individuals who behave as if immigration is always good, always necessary, must never be questioned and must be the one constant in an otherwise ever-changing universe of policy; they’re usually identified as “leftists.” On the other are small-i immigrationists, people who believe immigration is generally good, generally necessary, should never be questioned in principle and must in some form be the one constant in an otherwise ever-changing universe of policy; they’re usually identified as “conservatives.”

The debate between the two sides often goes like this: Leftists welcome inundation with even uneducated, unskilled foreigners (as long as the aliens aren’t sent to their neighborhood; see Martha’s Vineyard et al.) with the argument “Our strength lies in our diversity!” Conservatives counter this by reassuring all and sundry “I’m all for immigration!” “But,” they add, “it should be done legally and be merit based, with possession of economically valuable skills a prerequisite for entry.”

The problem with this is that it’s the battling of a nonsensical argument with a one-dimensional argument. After all, there’s a name for entities defined merely by the job-related role they can perform: robots. There’s also a name for thus characterizing people: a Marxist mistake.

I’ll explain this by beginning with a story. Many years ago, during a dinner-table conversation, a quite wonderful man I know remarked that the dissolution of the black family was all caused by government welfare, by the funding of single motherhood. While such policy is destructive and surely exacerbates problems, is it really true that it’s entirely responsible? If it were true, how could it be that some Hasidic Jews accept the same government assistance but keep their families wholly intact?

You may now say, “Of course! They’re radically ‘religious.’” But that’s the point: Man is not just an economic creature. He also has intellectual, emotional, psychological, moral and spiritual dimensions.

The late Pope Benedict XVI mentioned this when critiquing Karl Marx, saying that the latter’s mistake was his viewing of man as a purely economic being; human behavior was explainable, and problems remediable, the thinking goes, solely via an economic approach (e.g., eliminating economic inequality will end human strife).

The point is this: Anytime we ourselves instinctively treat man as a purely economic being — as even that intelligent, conservative man I mentioned did — we are unwittingly repeating Marx’s mistake.

Yet this is common today even among conservatives. So do you see, now, how easily such errors can be mainstreamed and inform (read: deform) our thinking?

Now let’s return to immigration. Do the work skills and ethic newcomers bring with them define them?  Are those qualities the most important things they bring to our shores? Since they’re not robots and won’t actually just be cogs in the economy, no. Rather, the most important things they bring are their beliefs.

To further illustrate the economic-being approach’s folly, let’s apply the standard not to (what should be) our national family, but our actual one. If you contemplated taking an outsider into your home, would you consider just economics? Would it only matter that he was going to contribute another $800 monthly to the family budget? Or would you first consider what beliefs and behaviors he’d bring into your home — how he, for instance, would influence your kids?

It’s likewise with the national family, of course. Absorb 10 million Muslim jihadists or 10 million Nazis over time, and it will have some political and social effect whether they’re low-skilled or high-skilled. For either way, their skill at “being American” will be fatally poor.

For a real-life example, consider radical, anti-American representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). Herself a product of migration (she was granted asylum by Immigrationist Central), she was vaulted to power in her district largely by other immigrants from her native country, Somalia. Now, would you feel better about this if she and her voter enablers were “high-skilled”? Would you aver, “Oh, who cares that they’re undermining our political system? They can code!”?

Some may now say such immigrants would vote differently were they skilled and wealthy. History says otherwise. Consider that Hindus (i.e., Indians) are the highest-earning religious group in the U.S. next to Jews, out-earning native-born white Americans markedly. Yet unlike outlier and GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, they’re also notably left-wing.

Rivaling blacks’ numbers, 90 percent supported Barack Obama.

Hindus also voted for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden by wide margins.

In fact, upwards of 70 percent of Hindus are firmly in the Democrat Party’s camp.

None of this, however, means there’s no difference between low-skilled and high-skilled socialist immigrants.

The wealthy, high-skilled ones are far more likely to be politically active and influential and therefore will more aggressively alter our national landscape.

As the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace wrote just before the 2020 election, “Even though Indian Americans comprise [sic] slightly more than 1 percent of the total U.S. population — and less than 1 percent of all registered voters…Indian Americans are unexpectedly in the spotlight thanks to their growing affluence and influence in political circles….”

Lest anyone think I’m picking on Hindus, know they’re just par for the course: 85 to 90 percent of our post-1967 immigrants have come from the Third World, and 70 to 90 percent of them have voted Democrat upon naturalization. What’s more, despite #WalkAway fantasies, this shows no actual signs of changing — certainly not enough to make the pro-invasion Democrat Party fall out of love with their voter-importation scheme (aka immigration).

In reality, this also reveals why the economic-being approach falls flat even in its calculation of economic benefit. How much will “high-skilled” immigrants improve our economy if, over time, their influence transforms it into a socialist one? They’ll be coding while wealth is eroding.

All immigration should be halted, given how balkanized we already are. Yet insofar as we do allow it, the aforementioned again underlines why beliefs must always come first when vetting newcomers. A nation does not live on bread alone, and what does it profit a land to gain the world but lose its soul?

In truth, it would be better if our immigrants were robots (which, incidentally, are poised to fill many jobs in coming years, a fact underlining why immigration isn’t necessary “because we need workers”). Robots, after all, really do just perform an economic role and don’t come with beliefs, intellect and free will (at least not yet). Immigrants do because they’re human beings.

So treat them as such, is the lesson here. This means evaluating them based on all their human dimensions and not just reckoning them as economic cogs, as objects. “They pick our grapes” or “They do our tech” may be a good argument for automation, but for immigration it’s Marxist to the core.

Internal Conflicts and Power Struggles have become Hallmarks of the Modern GOP

/in , , , , /by

“Childish would be my word. We’re on the right path, doing the right things, wanting to pass good legislation, and he’s helping them do that. And then, bam, it blows up.” Rep. Sara Carruthers said of her colleagues, the Ohio Republicans who persist in opposing the Ohio statehouse speaker nominee.

This isn’t even the battle for House Speaker being reported in Washington.

This is the Ohio statehouse, which has a leadership battle of its own.

The strife is all over. The Republican Party’s internal divisions and power struggles have emerged as defining features. At the outset, it would seem that these conflicts are confined to the party’s inner workings, but in reality, they have had far-reaching consequences that extend well beyond party lines. As observers of American political dynamics, we naturally ponder the effects of the Republican Party’s constant strife on their ability to oppose Democrats effectively.

One of the most conspicuous manifestations of the Republican Party’s infighting lies in its failed attempts to elect a new Speaker for the House of Representatives. This critical leadership role is often viewed as the face of the party and the embodiment of its legislative agenda. However, the intense power struggles within the GOP have hindered their ability to present a united front, weakening them when facing their Democrat counterparts.

Amid such chaos, the party’s inner bickering and factionalism have become a source of distraction. Rather than focusing their collective efforts on opposing Democrats and advancing a cohesive vision, Republicans are embroiled in bitter feuds and battles for supremacy. This distraction, as reported by the Associated Press, has rendered them less effective when it comes to providing a compelling alternative to Democrat policies and initiatives.

Another profound consequence of this ongoing discord is the misalignment of priorities. With many Republicans preoccupied with internal party politics, there is a noticeable reduction in their ability to oppose Democrats on critical issues effectively. This shift in focus has allowed Democrats to seize political advantages in various scenarios, as highlighted by the left-wing The Guardian earlier this month.

Internal divisions also lead to a lack of consensus within the Republican party on fundamental issues. The absence of a unified stance further weakens their opposition to Democrat policies and hampers their ability to sway public opinion.

As left-wing NPR reports, the inability to present a coherent alternative has a detrimental impact on the GOP’s efficacy in opposing Democratic agendas.

And then, one of the most insidious effects of such routine inner conflicts within the Republican Party is the erosion of public trust.

The Pew Research Center’s data reveals that this disarray has decreased trust and confidence in the party. A divided house, plagued by constant internal turmoil, naturally fails to inspire confidence and unity among its supporters.

Therefore, the internal strife within the Republican party is a multifaceted issue that weakens their unity, distracts them from effectively opposing Democrats, and leads to a decline in public trust. These factors significantly impede the Republican party’s ability to fight Democrats effectively.

As the party grapples with its internal divisions, Republicans must find a way to mend the fractures and present a united front to mount a more formidable challenge against their Democrat counterparts. Otherwise, the rifts within their own ranks may continue undermining their ability to shape American politics.

As conservatives, we should be motivated by our commitment to individual liberties, economic freedom, and traditional values. Standing united is the key, as our core beliefs regarding our approach to these critical issues lead us to oppose policies that diverge from these core tenets.

Only if we drift away sufficiently from our infighting can we continue to support limited government, free-market solutions, empowering businesses, including small enterprises, giving individuals more control over their healthcare decisions, a strong national defense and internal security that includes protecting our borders, enforcing immigration laws and ensuring that individuals entering the country do so legally. This is how we can best serve the interests of our voter base the American people, and safeguard the principles that make our country exceptional.

Let us remember that elected officials are our servants. They work for us. We put them there and should remove them from the office if they fail to deliver.

No More ‘Go along to get along’

Conflicts within the Republican party with internal divisions and power struggles have hindered their ability to present a united front, weakening them when facing their Democrat counterparts. Thus, this source of distraction has rendered them less effective in providing a compelling alternative to Democrat policies and initiatives. This discord has led to a misalignment of priorities, a lack of consensus on fundamental issues, and decreased public trust.
However, it is crucial to remember that these divisions are not insurmountable. The Republican party’s motto, “Go along to get along,” while historically influential, is no longer applicable in the current political climate. The party’s leaders and grassroots movements advocate for a more assertive and uncompromising stance on critical issues such as crimes, immigration, border security, economic policy, healthcare, and social issues.

The Republican Party has been traditionally blocked by the establishment components of the party, which has hindered its ability to present a unified front. This has resulted in a lack of coherent alternatives to the Democrat agenda, weakening their opposition.

However, the time for unity is now. The Republican Party must find a way to mend the fractures and present a united front to mount a more formidable challenge against their Democrat opponents. This unity will strengthen their ability to oppose Democrats effectively and also inspire confidence and harmony among their supporters. Progressives have taken America to the edge of a cliff, and it is time for adult Republicans to rise and stop America from fading away. The expectation is that these leaders will put forth reasoned and sustainable policy alternatives that address the nation’s challenges.

The idea is that as the political pendulum swings, there is a need for Republicans, often considered the party of fiscal conservatism and limited government, to step forward and provide an alternative vision that safeguards the nation’s future. Republican voters have shown increasing support for leaders who take a bold and unapologetic approach to policy, influencing the party’s direction.

Republican primary election day is fast approaching. Just to remind you, elections have consequences. The vote you cast will not simply replace one politician with another. At this point, every vote has significant existential implications. Whether we like it or not, we are indeed in a war of survival. Make sure you do the right thing and vote for the best candidate.

To undecided voters: Don’t be fooled by the accusations that the incurably sick Leftists at home and America’s ill-wishers abroad level at this country. America is not perfect. Yet, it is the best hope for humanity struggling to find its humanity. America is worth defending. Vote for the candidate who is not appeasing the Islamists or lobbyists for some extra votes. Vote for the candidate willing to fight for our values and not afraid to call a spade a spade.

Let us end the reign of the ossified old Republican establishment by supporting a new generation of principled conservatives. A conservative wave of Republicans determined to breathe new life into the party and champion the hopes and aspirations of all Americans.

Chaos Erupts In Middle East As Israel-Hamas Conflict Surges

/in , , , , , , , , /by

In the wake of Israel’s attacks on Hamas, U.S. forces in the Middle East have endured several attacks as violent protests decrying Israel ensue throughout the region.

Israel is carrying out a sweeping counteroffensive in the Gaza Strip after Hamas killed over 1,400 Israelis and kidnapped over 100 civilians, including children, during mass terrorist attacks that began on Oct. 7. Protests and violence have flared up in surrounding Middle Eastern nations – despite the Biden administration claiming days before the Hamas attack that the region is “quieter” than it has been in decades.

Mass protests are taking place in Arab nations surrounding Israel, including Libya, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, the latter of which houses the Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah. U.S. military forces in regions including Syria, Iraq and the Red Sea have recorded rocket and/or drone attacks from a number of groups, including Islamic Resistance and Houthi forces.

Several of the groups involved in the attacks against U.S. forces are supported and backed by Iran. While Tehran’s role in helping plan the initial Oct. 7 attacks against Israel by Hamas is disputed, it heavily supports the terrorist organization.

“Tehran is bringing various elements of its proxy network online and in place to bail out Hamas, distract Israel, and deter the U.S. from standing with Israel,” Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior researcher on Iranian security and political issues at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The more Tehran greenlights the involvement of its proxies, the more it is attempting to create a new security architecture in the region to keep America out and Israel bogged down.”

To the northeast, Iranian-backed militants fired rockets at the Ain al-Asad air base hosting Americans in Iraq on Thursday, and a search and rescue operation was subsequently launched by the Iraqi military; it is not immediately clear if casualties or injuries were sustained during the attacks. Another base was attacked via rocket fire near the international airport in Baghdad on the same day.

The al-Asad base came under attack earlier in the week after U.S. troops staved off incoming kamikaze drones on Tuesday. In Syria, two U.S. military sites housing American and allied troops fell under attack from drones on Thursday; incoming drones were shot down by personnel at the al-Tanf coalition garrison, with one servicemember sustaining injuries. Militants also fired rockets at the Conoco base in the Deir al-Zor region of Syria after it fell under siege from the Islamic Resistance in Iraq on Thursday.

A U.S. naval destroyer operating in the Red Sea shot down an incoming hive of drones and cruise missiles launched by Houthi terrorist forces in Yemen on Thursday, the AP reported. The drones were “potentially” headed for Israel, according to Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder.

“These small-scale attacks are clearly concerning and dangerous,” Ryder said on Wednesday. “We’re going to do everything necessary to ensure that we’re protecting our forces. And  if and when we choose to respond, we’ll do so at a time of our choosing.”

Hezbollah has warned the U.S. against increasing its support of Israel, and has launched several small-scale attacks over its southern border, including missile attacks and gunfire toward IDF, according to Fox News. IDF has increased its presence at the border with troops and tanks as tensions with Hezbollah rapidly escalate, according to The Associated Press.

Hezbollah warned Israel on Wednesday it is “thousands of times stronger” than it was before, according to Reuters; the Iranian-backed terrorist group consists of approximately 100,000 fighters, leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah claimed. It also has a stockpile of weaponry and boasts precision-guided missiles that could hit any target in Israel.

After it was reported without evidence that Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza, Hezbollah called for a “day of unprecedented anger” and violent protests ensued near the U.S. embassy in Lebanon starting Wednesday. Security forces fired tear gas and water cannons into crowds of protestors who broke through barbed wire and fencing leading to the embassy, according to Reuters.

Mass Palestinian protests are occurring in several Arab nations surrounding Israel, including Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Turkey and Jordan, according to the Associated Press. The State Department issued a “Worldwide Caution Security Alert” to U.S. citizens traveling overseas on Thursday amid the risk of further terrorist attacks and violence.

Demonstrations also took place in Iran, where protestors can be seen burning the Israeli flag and chanting “death to Israel,” NBC News reported on Tuesday. All of the unfolding chaos, from attacks against U.S. forces to the ongoing protests against Israel, can be traced back to Tehran, according to Shoshana Bryen, senior director of the Jewish Policy Center.

“Iran is the center of the conflict. The religious leadership believes it is destined to control Islam, and then the rest of the world. They’re not ‘crazy,’ they’re believers,” Bryen told the DCNF. “Without an international determination to thwart Iran’s goals, the region will not see peace regardless of the outcome of Israel’s present war in Gaza.”

Bryen said that when the war between Israel and Hamas concludes, the chaos will reflect poorly on the Biden administration, which has been accused by lawmakers and foreign policy experts of taking a concessionary stance toward Iran.

“When the history of the current horror in Israel is written, it will be clear that the administration’s oil sanctions waivers, unfreezing assets, ignoring Iranian arms sales to Russia, and ignoring the suffering of the Iranian people under the mullahs gave Tehran the sense that it was driving events,” Bryen told the DCNF. “And Hamas had the same sense in Gaza.”

The Biden administration said on Oct. 7 – two days before the brutal Hamas terrorist attacks – that the Middle East is “quieter today than it has been in two decades.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Biden’s Billions For Hamas

/in , , , , , , , , /by

“The U.S. is working round the clock to resupply Hamas.”

Biden Asks Billions for Victims of Hamas Attack… To Be Sent to Hamas

By: Daniel Greenfield, Oct 21, 2023

“Biden’s Deputy National Security Advisor couldn’t explain how the US can prevent Hamas from taking control of the goods”

The Biden administration is widely broadcasting that it’s made a budget request of almost $106 billion for Israel and Ukraine. In reality, most of that, $61.4 billion, is going to Ukraine. There’s $14 billion to hire more border patrol officers, asylum processors and judges, $4 billion for foreign aid in the Pacific and an official figure of $14 billion for Israel, but in reality it’s smaller than that because the Biden administration has also rolled in embassy security costs across the Middle East into that package. The actual aid package for Israel is probably closer to $9 billion or so.

But that’s not the really troubling part.

The Biden request asks for $9.15 billion in “humanitarian assistance”. It phrases this as providing “life-saving humanitarian assistance and support for innocent civilians devastated by Putin’s unjust war in Ukraine, Hamas’ attack on Israel, and the numerous other natural and man-made crises around the world. This includes life-saving humanitarian assistance in Gaza and support for Palestinian refugees in the West Bank and surrounding areas.”

The incredible chutzpah here is that Biden is asking Congress to fund “life-saving humanitarian assistance and support for innocent civilians devastated by… Hamas’ attack on Israel” that’s not going to the actual Israeli orphans who have lost their families, but to “humanitarian assistance in Gaza and support for Palestinian refugees in the West Bank”.

That is to say a bunch of this money will be going to Hamas.

Biden is soliciting money for the victims of the “Hamas attack” that will go to Hamas.

If you think I’m exaggerating, the administration has already admitted it twice.

In 2021, State Department officials warned that “there is a high risk Hamas could potentially derive indirect, unintentional benefit from U.S. assistance to Gaza” and asked for a special exemption from sanctions on funding terrorists.

In the first days of October, Secretary of State Blinken overrode a hold by Senator Jim Risch on $75 million in funding for UNRWA, which is largely staffed by Hamas. Risch had imposed a hold along with other Republican senators, requiring that Blinken certify every 180 days that UNRWA meets accountability criteria because of its “long history of employing people connected to terrorist movements like Hamas” and “using its schools to store Hamas weapons.”

Here’s Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer explaining to CNN that nothing has changed.

We’re going to take the word of rapists and killers that they’re not going to misuse foreign aid.

As Caroline Glick notes at JNS,

When questioned by CNN, Biden’s Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer couldn’t explain how the United States can prevent Hamas from taking control of the goods entering Gaza.

Resupply of Hamas is an operational disaster for Israel.

Hamas’s military infrastructure is almost entirely located in a warren of underground tunnels. An estimated 40,000 terrorist fighters and Hamas’s military leadership are living and operating from within the tunnels. To defeat Hamas, Israel needs to fight those forces above ground, not below ground where their tactical advantage is decisive.

Biden has already promised $100 million in “humanitarian aid” to Gaza. What does the $9.15 billion package offer?

There’s $3.4 billion to assist refugees from Ukraine and “provide life-saving humanitarian assistance in Israel, and in areas impacted by the situation in Israel. These resources would support displaced and conflict affected civilians, including Palestinian refugees in Gaza and the West Bank, and to address potential needs of Gazans fleeing to neighboring countries.”

While an estimated 300,000 Israelis have been displaced by the war (you’ve heard about that in the media, right?) the emphasis here seems to be on the Arab Muslim “refugees”.

The war isn’t even in the West Bank, but they’re still preparing to spend money there anyway.

There’s $5.6 billion in “International Disaster Assistance” again for Ukraine and “life-saving humanitarian programming in Israel and areas impacted by the situation in the West Bank and Gaza” and beyond to “Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Egypt.”

How much of that money will be spent in Gaza? Who knows. Whatever money is spent will benefit Hamas.

How literally? On Oct 4, a few days before the attacks, USAID was bragging that it was helping upgrade water and sanitation systems in Gaza. People noted that Hamas has openly bragged about repurposing pipes for rockets.

But Biden will help the “innocent civilians devastated by… Hamas’ attack on Israel” by sending money to Hamas.

‘Moderate’ Palestinian Authority: ‘All mosques must teach that extermination of Jews is an Islamic imperative”

/in , , , , , , , , /by

For YEARS, I have spoken out against the genocidal Islamic texts and teachings against Jews. The existence of the State of Israel is deeply offensive to the Muslim world.

Islamic Jew hatred is an Islamic imperative. When the PA says it, millions march in support of the Jewish genocide. When my colleagues and I quote them or the Quran, we are racist-Islamophobic-anti-Muslim bigots. We are smeared. defamed, libeled – our names destroyed.

In the information battle-space, they have won.

PA: All mosques must teach that extermination of Jews is an Islamic imperative

By: Itamar Marcus | Oct 22, 2023

The PA Ministry of Religious Affairs posted guidelines for mosque preachers on Thursday instructing preachers what content they should include in their Friday sermons. The most horrific part of the instructions was a quote from a Hadith (Islamic tradition attributed to Islam’s prophet Muhammad) that teaches that the End of Time, the Redemption of humanity, is contingent on Muslims killing and eventually exterminating all Jews:

“The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, and the rock or a tree will say: ‘Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him’; except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews.”

[PA Ministry of Religious Affairs, Facebook page, Oct. 18, 2023]

Following so close to the atrocities by Hamas, this PA religious message to Palestinians is first and foremost elevating the horrific massacre of nearly 1,400 Jews to constitute Islamic worship. In addition, it is a clear message that Allah/Islam wants Palestinians to leave their mosques after Friday prayers and set out to murder more Jews.

The PA religious establishment is notorious for teaching Palestinians that it is their destiny as Muslims to exterminate the Jews. For example, already a decade ago, the PA Mufti, the highest PA religious figure, explained at a Fatah event that the current Palestinian conflict against Israel is not a nationalistic fight for Palestinians but rather the Muslim destiny to exterminate Jews:

PA Mufti Muhammad Hussein, at a Fatah event in Jerusalem: 

“47 years ago the [Fatah] revolution started. Which revolution? The modern revolution of the Palestinian people’s history. In fact, Palestine in its entirety is a revolution, since [Caliph] Umar came [to Jerusalem, 637 CE], and continuing today, and until the End of Days. The reliable Hadith (tradition attributed to Muhammad), in the two reliable collections, Bukhari and Muslim, says:

“The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight the Jews.

The Jew will hide behind rocks or trees.

Then the stones or trees will call:

‘Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’

Except the Gharqad tree [which will keep silent].”

Therefore it is no wonder that you see Gharqad [trees]

surrounding the [Israeli] settlements and colonies..”

[Official PA TV, Jan. 9, 2012]

Aside from the promotion of murder of Jews, this Friday’s instruction sheet also included the current prominent PA libel that misrepresents the Islamic Jihad missile that landed in a parking lot near a hospital killing 50 Gazans, as an Israeli attack on the hospital killing 500.

The following is the text of the PA’s instructions to the preachers in the mosques:

Text: “In the name of All Merciful Allah”

The State of Palestine – the [PA] Ministry of Religious Affairs

[Document] No. 1664, Oct. 18, 2023

Friday sermon for Oct. 20, 2023 –

The Al-Mamadani Hospital crime is ‘the crime of the times’ (refers to libel accusing Israel of bombing Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, which was done by Islamic Jihad -Ed.)

Main points of the sermon instructions:

  • Palestine, the land of the Night Journey and Ascent to Heaven, adheres to its principles and is standing firm in the hardships; the one who abandons it will not harm it, it believes in its God’s promise of victory.
  • The crime that was committed at the Al-Mamadani Hospital against women, children, elderly, sick, and medical teams, and the number of Martyrs caused as a result of it – more than 1,000 Martyrs – is one of the greatest crimes in the modern age (sic., a double lie; a failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad terrorists struck a parking lot near a hospital killing approx. 50).
  • What our people is undergoing – collective annihilation directed against women, children, and elderly – is a crime against humanity.
  • The children’s organs and the sighs of the bereaved and wounded [in Gaza] are a mark of shame on the foreheads of those who whine about the [suffering of the] occupation (i.e., Israeli civilians massacred by Hamas)
  • Our Palestinian people, in spite of the wounds and disasters, cannot wave a white flag until defeating the occupation (i.e., Israel) and establishing the independent Palestinian state, whose capital is sublime Jerusalem.
  • Our message to the occupation – this land is an inseparable part of our faith, and it is impossible under any conditions or circumstances that the 1948 Nakba would repeat itself (i.e., “the catastrophe,” Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel), and we will remain on this land until Allah enables the victory.
  • The time has come, more than any other time, for our people to be united against the occupation’s arrogance.
  • We call on our Palestinian people to be alert to the settlers’ crazy attacks, and particularly in the distant areas.
  • We must all understand that this land and the holy sites in it are a deposit imposed on us until the Day of Judgement.
  • Our national unity is the rock on which all the plots against the Palestinian national project will be shattered…

Proofs from the sources:

  • “‘The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, and the rock or a tree will say: “Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him”; except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews.’
  • [The Hadith:] ‘A group of my nation will remain on the side of truth, and it will not be harmed by those who abandon it… until Allah’s word will come as they overcome the people.’”

Libel on Baptist Hospital Bombing in Gaza City, October 2023 – A failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad terrorists fell short of Israel and hit the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in the Gaza Strip on Oct. 17, 2023, during Hamas’ terror war on Israel. The PA and Hamas rushed to libel Israel as being responsible for the bombing and claimed approximately 500 people had been killed, and global media outlets including Reuters and the BBC picked up the Palestinian libel without confirming it. Israel proved with video evidence, including from Al-Jazeera TV, that it was an errant Islamic Jihad rocket that fell on the hospital during a barrage of rocket fire. Having seen the Israeli evidence, the US later confirmed the Israeli assessment that an Islamic Jihad rocket had caused the damage. A senior European intelligence source estimated that the true death count from the bombing was no more than 50 people.

Hamas war on Israel October 2023 – At least 1,400 Israelis were murdered and over 3,500 wounded, in addition to at least 212 Israelis who were abducted into the Gaza Strip, in a Hamas terror war that began when approximately 2,500 Hamas terrorists broke through Israel’s security fence at the Gaza Strip border and launched a surprise attack, taking control of several Israeli towns and attacking a music festival on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret (Simchat Torah), which fell on the Sabbath, Oct. 7, 2023. Hamas terrorists also fired at least 5,000 rockets at Israeli population centers. In response, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords to counter the Hamas terror threat. Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon joined Hamas’ terror war starting from the following day, attacking Israel from the north.
