‘Israel has to neutralize every threat to the people of Israel, period, end of story,’ said Sebastian Gorka, the incoming Trump Counterterrorism Director.

Sebastian Gorka, whom President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to be senior director for counterterrorism in his incoming administration, emphasized that the soldiers of the IDF fighting against terrorism are doing “the L-rd’s work.”

In an interview with Israel’s Channel 14 published Wednesday, Gorka responded to Trump’s warning that there will be “all hell to pay” if Hamas doesn’t release the hostages by his inauguration.

Trump, he said, “will stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu to make sure that the threats to [Israel] and to Judeo-Christian civilization are destroyed.”

Responding to the claim that Israel is committing “genocide,” Gorka said, “Now we have a new totalitarian ideology to replace Nazism, and that’s Global Jihadism. So if anyone says Israel is committing genocide, they’re on the side of the real genocidal jihadis.”

Addressing the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire and whether northern Israelis would be able to return to their homes, Gorka said Israel must render terror groups incapable of harming its citizens.

“With the recent pager operation, Israel has done an incredible job of undermining the capacity of groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the global jihadi movement to hurt [Israeli] citizens,” he said, adding that Israel must “undermine their will to do so as well.”

“Israel has to neutralize every threat to the people of Israel, period, end of story.”

Regarding the idea of a “Palestinian state,” Gorka said, “If you read the recent polls since October 7, more than 70% of the [Palestinian Arab] population agree with the massacre of Jews on October 7. Until the people of Gaza and the West Bank decide they want to live in peace with Israel and do not want to kill every Jew, until that time, there is no political resolution, and Israel has to be responsible for the security of those territories.”

Asked what his vision of a “decisive victory” would look like, Gorka said, “There is no classical victory now. Israel should be responsible for the security of those areas and make it impossible for any jihadi group to exploit those territories to launch new mass casualty attacks against the people of Israel.”

“For the time being, it’s going to be a security situation and not a political one.”

Gorka concluded with a message of encouragement for Israel.

“Hold the line. America will be back very, very soon. We bless every single one of you,” he said, addressing IDF soldiers and their families, adding, “Things will change. You are doing the L-rd’s work by saving innocent people and bringing justice to evildoers. So don’t give up, hold the line, and we will keep you in our prayers.”

Is life in today’s West really just like living in Nazi Germany? No, it’s just like living in Germany …

December 6, 2024/in Anti-Semitism, Censorship, Commentary, Culture War, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Socialism/by MercatorNet - A Compass for Common Sense

“It’s just like living in Nazi Germany!” – or so many excitable commentators like myself are often wont to say about life in the contemporary West whenever we see the latest egregious assault on free speech or outrageous overblown “hate crime” incident.

Except, of course, it isn’t quite like Nazi Germany at all, is it? Such statements, at least on my own behalf, are often meant more as comic or critical journalistic hyperbole and bombast, not literal statements of verbatim fact.

There are no death-camps in Europe, Australasia or America today, are there? And, say what you like about Brownshirt Biden, at least it ultimately proved possible for opponents to vote him out of office, unlike with Herr Hitler in the ‘30s and ‘40s.

Instead, a better comparison to make might be not to say, “It’s just like living in Nazi Germany!”, but “It’s just like living in Germany!” instead, actual Nazis no longer in any way being necessary, just ordinary “democratic” politicians.

Heel, Hitler!

Back in the day, the Nazis themselves didn’t particularly like being insulted, to say the least. My favourite personal example came in 1941 when Nazi diplomats made persistent legal attempts to “cancel” a Finnish gentleman named Tor Borg who had amusingly trained his pet dog to raise its paw in classic “Heil Hitler!” style whenever he said Adolf’s name. Top Nazis suspected this was meant as an insult, leading to attempts at legal prosecution. When this failed, the Nazis tried to ruin Borg’s pharmaceutical business instead.

As journalist Klaus Hillenbrand put it once news of the bizarre escapade finally emerged in 2011: “The dog affair tells us the Nazis were not only criminals and mass murderers, they were silly as hell. There are very few things you can laugh about [from the Third Reich] because what they did was so monstrous. But there were two or three dozen people discussing the affair of the dog rather than preparing for the invasion of the Soviet Union. They were crazy.”

They sure were! No politicians in the modern-day West would ever bother wasting their time with anything as trivial as that these days, would they?

Except that, in 2018, a Scottish comedian, Mark Meechan (aka Count Dankula) was successfully prosecuted in a court of British law after training his girlfriend’s pet dog to do a similar “Heil Hitler!” salute in response to his cues of “Sieg Heil!” and “Do you wanna gas the Jews?” before posting the resulting footage online to annoy his partner. Although Meechan was not actually an anti-Semite, just a prankster, he was convicted of hate speech and fined £800 nonetheless.

Accordingly, here’s a new version of Klaus Hillenbrand’s 2011 assessment of the Tor Borg affair, updated anew for the age of Count Dankula: “The dog affair tells us the self-professed anti-Nazis of today’s liberal West were not actually outright criminal mass murderers, like the real Nazis once were, but it does show they were silly as hell. You can certainly laugh about it all, but really their persecution of innocent jokers and critics is at least a little bit monstrous. At a time when Vladimir Putin had already annexed Crimea, there were two or three dozen people in the United Kingdom discussing the affair of a Sieg Heiling dog rather than preparing for the potential looming invasion of Ukraine. They were crazy.”

Indeed so – and nowhere more so than in today’s oh-so-liberal anti-Nazi Germany.

Sticks and Steins

Modern-day Germany is perhaps the most overtly anti-Nazi state in all of recorded history, for obvious reasons. Over there, under strict post-WWII de-Nazification legislation, Count Dankula would probably have received an actual prison sentence, joke or not. The odd thing is, though, that many modern day professedly anti-Nazi German politicians now seem every bit as intolerant of harmless jokes being made about them as the actual Nazis once were.

A truly shocking statistic recently emerged: that, over the past three years, thousands of German citizens have faced legal charges over insulting politicians. Perhaps badly scarred by once having been called “slightly chunky” and “physically unlovable” (or words to that effect by Silvio Berlusconi, former Chancellor Angela Merkel introduced an easily abused new law, under Section 188 of the German Criminal Code, which prohibited “defamatory remarks” about politicians, if they were deemed likely to seriously “impede their official duties”. Punishments could include fines and up to five years behind bars.

I think Merkel meant this as a handy legal tool to enable prosecution for outright libel and death threats against public figures. As one sensible German politician, Armin Laschet, said when he heard this news: “In a democracy, you can call the rulers idiots, imbeciles, idiots. In dictatorships, you are prosecuted for this. As Prime Minister, I was often suggested to pursue offensive tweets with criminal charges. To this day, I only sign such in the case of death threats.”

If only other German statesmen felt and acted similarly. Two Green Party Ministers in Berlin’s current coalition government, Robert Habeck and Annalena Baerbock, are responsible for making 1,258 known separate Section 188 complaints against members of the German public alone, 805 by Habeck and 453 by Baerbock. Persons accused of such “crimes” have had their homes forcibly entered by police to seize their phones and laptops as evidence, costing the defendants thousands of Euros to replace them and then pay subsequent legal fees.

Hair Hitler

What precisely had such “offenders” been saying? Most just seem to have been calling the easily-offended pair idiots, perhaps with very good reason.

All this came to light following a heavy-handed police dawn-raid on the home of a 64-year-old pensioner, Stefan Niehoff, in mid-November – a raid so heavy-handed that Niehoff, who is old enough to directly remember such things, specifically compared it to life in East Germany under the Communist Stasi, which at least makes a change from the more usual Nazi Gestapo comparison. Together with his wife and disabled daughter, who has Down’s Syndrome, Niehoff was forcibly awakened from his bed and made to hand over his computer and phone to invading officers after Robert Habeck, who is currently the country’s Vice-Chancellor (just like Rudolf Hess used to be) filed an official complaint about him.

And what had Niehoff done? He had dared post the following meme (only a re-tweet of someone else’s creation) to his mere 901 followers online:

It is a digitally manipulated version of the usual logo of the German hair-care product brand Schwarzkopf, which means literally “Black Head” in German. The particular shampoo and conditioner being referenced here is “Schwarzkopf Professional”. However, the letter “r” has been deliberately omitted, rendering the phrase “Schwachkopf Professional”, which means something like “Professional Moron”, in the broad sense of “Professional Dickhead” (“Schwanzkopf”). As these words appear alongside the face of Robert Habeck, the insult clearly pertains to him.

However, as was gleefully pointed out, the main result of Habeck’s completely “Schwachkopf” actions here was simply to ensure that, due to the ensuing media furore, when typing the word “Schwach” into the German version of Google, the first result that now comes up is a large picture of Habeck himself. As this would undoubtedly tend to “impede” his “official duties” in some way, by making him openly appear to all the world as the thin-skinned moron he so clearly is, is Habeck himself therefore not inadvertently now guilty of an offence of inciting serious hatred against himself under Section 188 laws? I do hope so.

Would Jew believe it?

The strangest thing of all about this whole affair is that it has been painted by the German State as being a highly important anti-Nazi operation. According to an excellent analysis by a (perhaps necessarily) pseudonymous German resident on the UK’s Daily Sceptic website, the raid on Niehoff’s house took place on the specific mid-November date it did in order to fit in with that day’s “11th Action Day Against Anti-Semitic Hate Crimes On the Internet”.

But how is calling Vice-Chancellor Habeck a moron anti-Semitic? He isn’t even Jewish. Well, earlier this year, Niehoff had posted another meme online, depicting a genuine 1930s Nazi SA man holding a placard saying “[Real] Germans don’t buy from Jews” to which the caption had then been added “True Democrats! We’ve seen it all before!” It was for this Niehoff was really being raided, it was said, the police just thought they might as well take the opportunity to persecute him for calling Habeck an idiot while they were already there, to save time.

Problem is, this isn’t an anti-Semitic meme at all. Notice the curious fact the post also features prominent full-colour images of yoghurt pots sitting on supermarket shelves above all the black-and-white stormtroopers in the lower photo. At the time Niehoff posted the images, some left-wing activists were demanding a boycott of the domestic yoghurt company Müller, after its owner turned out to be a friend of the co-leader of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) political party, who are supposedly a bunch of “Far-Right Nazis” themselves, at least in the view of certain left-wing German activists.

All Niehoff was doing was making an ironic joke, along the lines of “You lefties say the AfD are Nazis, but you’re the ones doing all the political boycotting these days, just like the Nazis themselves used to do, so you’re the real fascists here!” Admittedly, Niehoff’s comparison is wildly overblown and hyperbolic in itself, but it isn’t truly in any way motivated by hatred of Jews, as was being suggested by the authorities, is it? The reasonable suspicion of many observers was simply that the police were using this as a convenient excuse to crack down on dissenters by spuriously linking critics of the Greens, like Herr Niehoff, to the “Far-Right”.

As the current coalition government in Germany has just collapsed, by the way, Robert Habeck has just had the audacity to put himself up to stand as Germany’s next Chancellor. Hope he doesn’t win. The last time someone like him won that particular office back in 1933, the German State went crazy and started doing mad things like trying to get the joke-loving owners of “offensive” dogs arrested instead of performing more useful acts such as, oh, I don’t know preparing for a potential future war with Russia, maybe?

Heel, Habeck!

Is this a pattern which might be imitated by politicians where you live?

As 2024 Comes to a Close → 2025 Will Explode! Here’s Why.

December 5, 2024/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, Marxism, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Social Issues, Socialism, Terrorism/by The United West/ Defend The Border

Islamic doctrine, centered in the teachings of Mohammad, divides the world into two “Houses”, the House of Islam and the House of War.

According to the Prophet Mohammad every human is either in the House of Islam (as a believer or in submission to Islamic rule) or you are in the House of War, not a believer and not in submission to Islam.

According to Mohammad and Islamic doctrinal teaching, if you are NOT in the House of Islam, then necessarily, you are an enemy of Islam, in the House of War.

If you are in the House of War, like Israel, Europe and America, you are a legitimate
target of JIHAD.

The 1400 years of Global, Islamic jihad conquests, the last year of Islamic jihad in Israel and the current Islamic jihad of Sunni Muslims killing Shia Muslims in Syria, factually illustrate the doctrinal teachings of the Prophet Mohammad.

At this point, the Islamic buffoons who try to deny or twist what Mohammad teaches, usually start calling me or others who actually understand Mohammad’s teachings, either the nonsensical term, Islamophobe, or just straight out, white racists even though many non-white people believe exactly as Mohammad teaches.

So, what does all this mean?

It means, BUCKLE UP, as the Muslim jihadi’s believe that 2025 is a perfect opportunity to extend, expand and accelerate Muslim jihad, in Israel, in the greater Middle-East and primarily here in America.

Three main reasons why America Muslim Jihadis believe that 2025 is a year of opportunity?

MUSLIM JIHADIS HATE PRESIDENT TRUMP
MUSLIM JIHADIS HATE PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU
MUSLIM JIHADIS HATE TOM HOMAN

Each of these men understand and respect Muslims who simply want to live their lives, raise their families and NOT violate the Laws of Israel or America. These Muslims reject the jihad teachings of Islam and Mohammad and often find themselves in the crosshairs of the “true believer” Muslims.

So can a Muslim reject the fundamental teachings of Mohammad on the doctrine of jihad, that is, war against the non-Muslims?

Of course, they have the free will to reject those fundamental doctrines but they are not living in the model of their Prophet Mohammad or accepting the settled teaching of doctrinal Islam. From an Islamic doctrinal perspective, these are “bad Muslims.”

From an America, Constitutional perspective, these are “good Muslims.”

Understand, if an American, even someone with several advanced degrees from great schools, teaches that jihad (war against non-Muslims) is NOT a part of “True,” Islam, that “educator,” has elevated himself above Mohammad, above Islamic scholarship and even above the President of Turkey, Recep Erdogan, who has stated on many occasions, that there can never be a bifurcation of Islam into the political part, the social part, the military party or any other parts, concluding with the full-stop demand,
“Islam is Islam is Islam!”

Erdogan believes, as does Mohammad and historic Islamic scholarship, that Islam is a unified, comprehensive system, superior to all other religions, totalitarian, no debating Mohammad’s teachings and encompasses every aspect of a Muslim’s life.

It is this same Erdogan who on September 7, 2024, called for an Islamic alliance against Israel, to ultimately destroy their capability to resist and defeat Muslim jihad. It is this same Erdogan who believes that Allah wants him to be the next Caliph (King) of all Sunni Islam.

Do you see why I say, 2025 will be a year of Muslims worldwide confronting primarily Jews and Christians?

When the President of a NATO nation essentially calls for the destruction of Israel, America’s number one national security partner, you can take it to the bank that Sunni Islam reads this development as the will of Allah and increased confrontation with the House of War (non-Muslims) is imminent.

What will this increased confrontation with Mohammad’s jihad look like?

ISRAEL — NETANYAHU

Observant Muslims hate Netanyahu

HAMAS will transition to an on-going jihad insurgency in Gaza, thereby making any hope impossible, of a “Singapore,” model of safety, security, economic advancement, arts, entertainment and generally, a normal life people worldwide desire. To HAMAS, following Mohammad, those elements of Western life mean nothing when mothers raise their son’s to be martyrs, to die fighting Israel in the blessed jihad.

HAMAS will become more active in Judea – Samaria (West Bank) with the same on-going jihad insurgency.

Arab-Israelis, citizens of Israel will participate in this disruptive insurgency jihad.

Hezbollah in Lebanon will also transition to a disruptive insurgency jihad, initially buying time to rebuild,
re-arm and plan attacks against Israel and Jews worldwide.

Iran will continue to work closely with all it’s proxies to destroy Israel.

As you read what I’m writing, you ask, “what the hell is with these people, why don’t they get a life and become like normal people?”

I remind you, The House of Islam AGAINST The House of War.

For Muslims who truly believe and truly want to follow Mohammad a state of constant war IS the purpose to life and the pathway to Paradise, Muslim heaven.

AMERICA — PRESIDENT TRUMP

Observant Muslims HATE President Trump.

An observant Sunni Muslim is one who observes or follows the pure teachings of Mohammad and the codified teachings of Islamic scholars, thus that Muslim sees jihad against the House of War, as a MANDATED COMMAND to defeat Jews and Christians, whether the jihad takes a stealth form, infiltrating the institutions of America and causing destruction from within (like is happening in Europe) or whether the jihad means taking over college campuses and striking fear into the hearts of Jewish students or whether the jihad requires strapping on 20 pounds of C-4 and jumping on a subway.

For the true believer the application and elevation of jihad tactics are determined in real time.

In 2013, a study asked Muslims in America if they would use “extreme violence” (suicide bombs) in order to advance Islam in America. Then a follow up question asked how many would support a Muslim using “extreme violence?”

The number of Muslims supporting “extreme violence” in Florida was close to 12,000, about 10% of the total Muslim population in Florida.

Thank God, 90% of Muslims do not follow Islamic doctrinal jihad teaching, but Florida was a launching pad for many of the 9/11 observant Muslims who changed the world, for the worse.

Clearly, some of these 12,000 supporters of “extreme violence” will be furthered motivated to jihad by President Trump and his Pro-Israel policies.

AMERICA — TOM HOMAN

Observant Muslims HATE Tom Homan

Observant, jihad-believing Muslims hate closed borders and the sovereignty of a country. How can a country be sovereign when that country (America) is part of the House of War?

Add to that fundamental Islamic view the fact that people in America illegally, many of whom are either Muslim or Muslim supporting, will be deported by America’s Border Czar, Tom Homan.

Moreover, the Marxist movement in the Democrat party and every Marxist organization in America (and there are many) all have joined with their Muslim jihad “brother’s and sisters” to fight against, guess who, Netanyahu, Trump & Homan.

The House of Islam AGAINST The House of War…in real time.

The imminent anti-American, anti-Israel multileveled political, cultural and physical attacks against Jews and Christians will increase on January 20, 2025, Inauguration Day, where the media-framed, “Adolph Trump,” takes control of the Islamic, House of War.

ACTION

So, what can good Americans do to fight back?

FOLLOW THE UNITED WEST — we will be in the middle of the action from the border of Gaza in Israel to Times Square in New York, to the campus protests, to the borders of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas and of course, the 1300 miles of Florida’s coastal borders. Help us expose the jihad and Marxist agitation in America. Help us work with the cops!
SUPPORT THE COPS — it is essential that we DO NOT take law enforcement matters into our own hands as that is the desire of China, Iran and Russia, to create a civil war in our Homeland. America has unmatchable law enforcement at all levels in all states. Let the cops, local, state and federal, physically confront the bad guys. In those shithole cities where political leaders are boasting about NOT working with the cops, let that play out as the good citizens of those cities (like Chicago) will come together to throw the idiot politicians out of office.
END OF THE YEAR DONATION — Help us use our 17 years of team experience fighting the jihad and Marxists to help all Americans stay safe and enjoy the freedoms so wonderfully offered by the best country in the world! Click here to donate to the United West.

Kansas City: Imam prays ‘Annihilate the criminal Zionists, O Allah, count them, kill them one by one’

December 5, 2024/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, Must Read, National Security, Policy, Politics, Religion/by Jihad Watch

Tarife refers to this Qur’an passage: “You are the best of people that has been raised up for mankind. You command what is right and forbid what is wrong, and you believe in Allah.” (Qur’an 3:110)

Note also that he prays: “Oh, Allah, annihilate the criminal Zionists – those of whom are Zionists and those who are not.” This apparently means that he wants Allah to annihilate the leftist Jews who are not Zionists along with the Zionists.

In late November, a Muslim entered a Montreal Jewish business and screamed “We’re gonna kill you one by one.”

Just weeks ago, the Palestinian Authority Supreme Shari’ah Court Director Alaa Dweikat prayed: “Strike the aggressive Zionists. O Allah, kill them one by one and count them one by one, and do not leave [even] one.”

In August 2024 came this report: ‘Palestinian’ jihadis heed Sharia judge’s call regarding the Jews, to ‘kill them one by one’

In Louisiana in June 2024, an imam prayed: “Oh Allah, annihilate the Jews and the Chris…Oh Allah, count them, kill them one by one.”

In Vienna in February 2024, a Muslim cleric prayed for the Jews, “O Allah, kill them all and leave none of them alive.”

In Montreal in late October 2023, a Muslim cleric called on Allah to “kill the enemies of the people of Gaza and to spare none of them.”

In Berlin in July 2014, an imam prayed: “Oh Allah, destroy the Zionist Jews…Count them and kill them to the very last one…Make them suffer terribly.”

A Quebec imam prayed in 2014: “O Allah, destroy the accursed Jews…O Allah, kill them one by one.”

And in Australia in July 2013: “Oh Allah, count the Buddhists and the Hindus one by one. Oh Allah, count them and kill them to the very last one.”

Examples of this kind could be multiplied endlessly. What other religion has common and frequently repeated prayers calling upon the deity to kill the perceived enemies of the faithful, one by one?

“Kansas City Friday Sermon By Muhammad Tarife: ‘Oh Allah, Annihilate The Criminal Zionists, Kill Them One By One, Allow Us To Torment Them With Our Own Hands’; Muslims Are The ‘Best Nation,’ Brought To The World To Encourage Others To Do Good,” MEMRI, November 22, 2024:

In his November 22, 2024 Friday sermon at the Kansas City Islamic Center, Muhammad Tarife said that the Islamic nation is the “best nation” and that it was brought to the world in order to encourage others to do good. He supplicated: “Oh Allah, annihilate the criminal Zionists, […] kill them one by one, and do not spare a single one of them […] allow us to torment them with our own hands, […] and heal the hearts of the believers.” The sermon was uploaded to the YouTube channel of the Kansas City Islamic Center, where in 2023, Dr. Mohamed Kohia, Professor of Physical Therapy at Rockhurst University, referred to the October 7 attack as a “miracle.”

Muhammad Tarife: “My dear respected brothers, know that you were created in this world in a nation that should be a leading nation. Allah says in the Quran: ‘You are a nation that was brought to people. You are the best nation. Why? Because you call for that which is good. You encourage others to do good.’

“Oh, Allah, annihilate the criminal Zionists – those of whom are Zionists and those who are not. Oh, Allah, count them, kill them one by one, and do not spare a single one of them, for they are no match for You. Oh, Allah, allow us torment them with our own hands, humiliate them, grant us victory over them, and heal the hearts of the believers.”

Trump Lays Down the Law on Anti-Semitism in Universities

December 3, 2024/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Education, Elections, Hot Topics, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Social Issues, Socialism, Terrorism/by Jihad Watch

In Trump’s first term, Jews were declared to be a minority group protected by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. And now, just weeks away from beginning his second term, Trump has laid down the law, in a speech he just gave at a rally against antisemitism in Washington. American universities that fail to combat antisemitism on their campuses should expect severe repercussions, including the loss of accreditation and of federal research contracts. More on Trump’s determination to stamp out campus antisemitism can be found here: “Trump to universities: Stamp out antisemitism or lose accreditation,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, November 14, 2024:

All American universities must end campus antisemitism or they will lose accreditation, President-elect Donald Trump promised during a rally against antisemitism in Washington.

To “defeat antisemitism and defend Jewish citizens in America,” Trump said he would inform every college president that if they do not “end antisemitic propaganda,” they would lose accreditation and federal support.

He did not say they “may lose” accreditation. Trump said they will lose accreditation, and their share of the billions of dollars in federal support that universities receive. A double blow to their finances and reputation.

“We will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it – certainly [not] on American soil,” he said.

Trump added that once in the Oval Office, he would inform all educational institutions that if they permit violence or harassment against Jewish students, they will be “held accountable for violations of the civil rights law.”

“It’s very important – Jewish Americans must have equal protection under the law, and they’re going to get it,” he said. “At the same time, my administration will move swiftly to restore safety for Jewish students [on campuses] and Jewish people on American streets.”…

Those wet-behind-the-ears stormtroopers will no longer be allowed to harass and attack Jewish students. They won’t be able to march around the campus, entering lecture halls to disrupt classes taught by Jews and Israelis, or entering campus buildings in order to vandalize them, as they did on April 28 to Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, in an attempt to pressure the administration to divest from Israeli companies, and to cut institutional ties to Israeli academic institutions. If universities do not take forceful action against those who are fomenting a climate of antisemitism — something that very few of them did this past year — then they stand to lose their accreditation, which means their students would no longer have access to federal financial aid. In addition, earning a degree earned from an unaccredited school can also hold little value to employers and disqualify someone from attending graduate school. In addition, the federal government funds billions of dollars in research projects conducted at universities; that money could dry up if not enough is done to fight antisemitic acts on campus.

Many universities have shown themselves incapable of dealing with the surge in antisemitism on their campuses since October 7, 2023. Deploring antisemitic acts, declaring sympathy with Jewish students, promising solemnly to do better, is not enough. Nor are those slap-on-the-wrist punishments, where a handful of the worst offenders are suspended from campus for a term, and then that suspension is immediately lifted. Columbia University administrators considered caving to the demands of anti-Israel students, including agreeing to financial divestment from Israel-linked companies, as the just-released report from the House Committee on Education and the Workforce makes clear. And at Columbia, after dozens of marches by those screaming about “genocide in Gaza,” the harassing of Jewish students, the seizure of campus buildings, the setting up of tent encampments, a grand total of four students received temporary suspensions. “Harvard cut language condemning Oct. 7 attack as ‘violence,’ reference to hostages from statement on massacre, House GOP report shows,” by Josh Christenson, New York Post, October 31, 2024:

Harvard University President Claudine Gay and other administrators intentionally cut language condemning Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 massacre of more than 1,200 civilians as “violence” and references to their Israeli hostages from an official statement after the brutal attack, a stunning House committee report revealed Thursday.

The GOP-led House Education and Workforce Committee in a 122-page report found that the Ivy League university leaders made “an intentional decision” to water down their Oct. 9 statement that still failed to condemn Hamas’ attack, according to documents, some of which were obtained via subpoena.

“We denounce this act of terror,” reads an earlier draft of the statement that was jettisoned.

Then-Harvard Law School Dean John Manning, who has since become the school’s provost, successfully lobbied against adding more language that referenced the hundreds of hostages taken by Hamas.

“The violence hits all too close to home for many at Harvard,” states the earlier draft. “Some members of our community have lost family members and friends; some have been unable to reach loved ones, and others fear that their loved ones may have been taken hostage.”

The administrators also opted against denouncing a joint statement from 31 Harvard student groups holding Israel “entirely responsible” for Hamas’ atrocities.

On many campuses, including Harvard, Columbia, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Michigan, Jewish students have reported a climate of widespread antisemitism that has been tolerated by administrators. Lawsuits accusing Harvard University of tolerating antisemitism and making it unbearable for Jewish students to study there are ongoing.

Now Trump has set down the law, threatening to take away both accreditation, which would means no student access to federal financial aid, and research funds, from colleges and universities that fail to deal adequately with antisemitism. A new sheriff is in town.

Gaudeamus igitur.

G-d bless this man. One of America’s greatest Presidents and he hasn’t even been inaugurated yet.

Donald Trump warns that if all the hostages are not released prior to him taking office there will be “ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity.”

Raylan Givens @JewishWarrior13:

President Trump: If the abductees are not released by the day I take office, January 20, 2025, the consequences will be unprecedented in the Middle East, and those responsible for the kidnapping will be beaten more than anyone else in the history of the United States.

Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East – But it’s all talk, and no action! Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!

Syria | MEMRI Daily Brief No. 682

There was a time, not so long ago, when Syria – the conflict that became the Syrian Civil War – seemed like the center of the world. I was still in government at the State Department in August 2013 when we were told to prepare for direct U.S. military intervention in Syria, as a result of Obama’s infamous “redline” in the sand in response to Assad’s use of chemical weapons. Then he went for a walk in the White House Rose Garden and changed his mind. Obama decided that a nuclear deal with the Iranian regime was more important than Syria.

Those same years saw tens of thousands of young people, especially young Muslims, flock to Syria in search of a Jihadist utopia. Syria was the first full-blown social media war. It was where – 12 years ago – the original online space for a lot that came after: Hashtag Fridays, media swarms, “Knights of the Uploading,” snuff videos, fake videos, citizen journalism. Stuff pioneered in the heat of war and revolution in Syria would be copied by terrorists, regimes, and intelligence agencies, east and west.

Bashar Al-Assad, who had once bused thousands of foreign jihadists to the Iraqi border so that they could kill Americans, almost lost his throne to Syrian rebel action. He was saved by direct Russian, Iranian, and Hezbollah intervention with an assist from the Obama Administration. The agony of the Syrian people continued but jaded Western attention faded, especially after Assad regime successes against Islamist rebels culminating in the fall of rebel-held parts of Aleppo in 2016 and other triumphs later.[1]

But an unfinished, “frozen” conflict suddenly got hot again when a well-planned Syrian rebel offensive – “Operation Deterrence of Aggression” – launched on November 27, 2024, from their enclave around Idlib caught the Assad regime napping. Led by the Salafi-Jihadist Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), the offensive conquered the city of Aleppo and surrounding areas in less than four days, a feat that had taken Assad and his backers four long years to accomplish.[2] And HTS had succeeded with a lot less fighting.[3]

While many have focused on the current travails of Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah – Assad’s military backers and all of them busy elsewhere – the main reason for the HTS victory, aside from excellent operational security and new weapons and tactics, seems to have been that much of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is a hollowed-out shell, far weaker than its ostensible numbers and weapons would indicate. Syria is an economic basket case. Officers supplement their meager salaries by taking bribes for soldiers to take extended leave and work at other jobs back home. Some units seem to have broken and fled after losing their officers.

In any case, a city of over two million people and a wealth of military booty fell into rebel hands with relative ease, drawing comparisons with the conquest of Mosul in Iraq by ISIS in June 2014. The rebels continued to consolidate their conquests in the north of the country while heading south on the road to Damascus.

And who are these rebels? Neo-Con Democrat William Kristol tweeted that he hoped that “the Biden Administration is doing everything it can to help the anti-Assad fighters in Syria.” In the deeply politicized and partisan online space discussing Syria, these rebels are often depicted as either head-cutting Jihadist mad dogs or freedom fighters just wanting to go home. Both in English and Arabic, there are a wealth of voices and accounts, seemingly reactivated from their years-long slumber, that have gone back to their old tricks – exaggeration, falsehoods, fake or mislabeled videos, guilt by association – in talking about the rebels, Assad, and the conflict.

Syria’s Sunni Muslim Arab Islamist rebel groups are not one thing. They are survivors, the product of 13 years of brutal war, infighting, and revolution, a hodgepodge of factions, absorbed, reshaped, purged, and rehabilitated over time. Almost all of them are various shades of Islamist or Salafi-Jihadist. Some are no better than bandits or mercenary guns for hire. All of them are connected or influenced, to a greater of lesser extent, to the Islamist Erdoğan regime in Turkey.

A Man Of Destiny

The most powerful and disciplined faction – HTS – is, according to U.S. law, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). HTS’s leader is a remarkable figure in the annals of Jihad. Abu Muhammad Al-Joulani (that is his pseudonym, his real name and even his birth place were not clear for years) was only in his early 30s when he was sent in August 2011 by Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, then the head of the Al-Qaeda branch in Iraq – the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) – into Syria to establish a branch there as the Syrian Civil War began. Al-Joulani was already a veteran Jihadist with a decade of militancy.[4] He had risen through the ranks of ISI to become a senior official, wali of Nineveh province, a rare feat for a Syrian in an organization dominated by Iraqis and fatally obsessed with loyalty.

Al-Joulani was sent in with a brief to assassinate some rival Jihadists in Syria and to establish a secret organization there. He ignored the first task and carried out the second with his group, then called the Al-Nusra Front, first appearing in public in January 2012. Its first known attack was a double suicide bombing against a military target in a Damascus suburb.

It would become an FTO in December 2012, but that would not stop the organization’s growth. I remember meeting with Syrian opposition figures, secularists and moderates, in summer of 2012 and they expressed the fear that the Jihadists were better fighters, less corrupt, more professional and seemingly more dedicated than the regular ranks of what was then called the Free Syrian Army. They were concerned that sanctioning Al-Joulani’s group would make it even more popular.

Al-Nusra Front, which would become HTS in 2017, would continue to grow, absorbing smaller groups and contingents of foreign fighters as well – Chechens, Uyghurs, and Western Muslims among others. The group was a successful and deadly player in Syria’s bloody war but as time went on, Al-Joulani would demonstrate rare political skills.

In April 2013, Al-Baghdadi would formally announce the creation of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and publicly admit that he was behind the creation of Al-Nusra and Al-Joulani’s sojourn into Syria. That bombshell statement was followed 36 hours later by Al-Joulani rejecting Al-Nusra’s incorporation into ISIS and instead claiming loyalty to Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the distant head of Al-Qaeda. Al-Joulani in a sense appealed to a surprised Al-Qaeda to prevent his group from being absorbed by ISIS. Open civil war had come to the global Jihadist movement.

Al-Joulani’s group would become bitter enemies of his old comrades in ISIS or “the Islamic State,” the two groups clashing, killing each other, and declaring each other “infidels’ worthy of death (the process called takfir). Instead of gloating in public slaughter like ISIS did in its extravagant video productions, most of the killings carried out by Al-Joulani’s group would be done discretely, away from the camera. Al-Joulani would not only demonstrate pragmatism on the battlefield and in ideological struggle but also show a keen sense of media savvy in a series of interviews he would give on the widely-watched Islamist Qatari Al-Jazeera Television, beginning in 2013.[5] These were hour-long infomercials for Al-Joulani and his organization, portraying them in the most positive and reasonable light possible.[6] In 2021, Al-Joulani gave his first interview to a Western journalist.[7]

Al-Joulani’s organization would continue to grow even as Assad, with the help of the Iranians and Russians seemed to turn the tide in Syria. By July 2016, it had a name change (first JFS – the Front for the Conquest of the Levant – and then later HTS – the Organization for the Liberation of the Levant) and formally broke ties with Al-Qaeda. This would cause splits within the organization as Al-Joulani sought to nationalize or Syrianize the group. HTS would go on to defeat and destroy a new Al-Qaeda branch and drive out other rival Jihadist, Islamist, and nationalist groups, many of whom would become part of another umbrella organization more formally tied to Turkey, the Syrian National Army (SNA).[8]

The SNA would serve as Turkish mercenaries in Libya and against the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. They would be used to fight Syrian Kurds in Afrin and other sites along Syria’s northern border in Turkey while sidelining in various criminal activities.

So, Syria’s advancing Islamist rebels in 2024 are not all one thing. Al-Joulani’s HTS in 2024 is not exactly the same as Al-Joulani’s Nusra Front of 2012. Turkish-influenced HTS is very different from the Turkish-controlled SNA. Al-Joulani’s organization is still Islamist, still (relatively) professional and disciplined, it has purged or killed many of its extremists and loose cannons while still remaining – to our eyes – an extremist organization. It is perhaps particularly striking that as Aleppo fell, the SNA, responding to Turkey’s priorities, moved east to fight Syrian Kurds, while Al-Joulani’s HTS moved south to fight Assad.

Learning to play the propaganda game and to manipulate Western expectations, Al-Joulani over time softened the initial harsh treatment Jihadists in Idlib had inflicted on Christian and Druze minorities, a process that has taken years and seems to have produced some tangible results for these minorities. One of the first things HTS has done in Aleppo is to make several public statements reassuring the city’s non-Muslim, especially Christian, minorities about their safety under the new order. Another statement was issued urging reconciliation with Syria’s (well-armed) Kurds. “The leader” Al-Joulani’s more general statement to the Syrian people issued on November 30, 2024, was an object lesson in diplomacy.[9] Many Syrians were also moved by heartwarming propaganda videos showing HTS fighters returning home to Aleppo after seven or eight years and surprising their mothers at home. Many Syrians who may have no particular liking for HTS are delighted by the surprising turn of events.[10]

I have dwelt at length on the charismatic Al-Joulani and HTS because he and it are rather unique. This is a hardcore Jihadist, a dropout from Damascus medical school, who joined the ranks of Jihad in his early 20s, and has learned not only to survive in an extremely dangerous region but to flourish and who seems to be on the verge of even greater things. This is a capable, dangerous man, one who may combine the ruthlessness and organizational skills of a Yahya Sinwar with real pragmatism and a winning smile.[11] His organization has been refashioned several times, leadership purged, and emerged stronger at each opportunity. He has gone from promising to “conquer” Syria (although the word used, Al-Sham, refers to both Syria and the Levant) to promising to “liberate” her.

Is there any real case to be made that Al-Joulani and his organization are any different than other Salafi-Jihadist or armed Islamist group? That their trajectory will not lead to similar dark alleys and not end in tears as have ISIS and Al-Qaeda (both groups abandoned by Al-Joulani), or Hamas and the Taliban? Nothing is certain or set in stone. The hope is that the Syrian experience is different and that it has somehow tempered and moderated HTS and its leader through the years. There is some evidence of that, for example, in the treatment of religious minorities or in the civilian Syrian Salvation Government that ostensibly rules Idlib.[12] But there is also evidence of ambition, extremism, and the thirst for power.[13] So trusting Al-Joulani and HTS is very much like Oscar Wilde’s famous quip about second marriages, “the triumph of hope over experience.”

A New Regional Chessboard

Al-Joulani’s victory in Northern Syria has also ripped the diplomatic fabric across the region. It seems, and should be interpreted as, a major Turkish victory expanding Turkish influence over Aleppo, a city and region long coveted by Turkish nationalists, the old Ottoman Vilayet of Halep.[14] But it was carried out, mostly, by a man capable of ultimately betraying Erdoğan just like he betrayed Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi or Ayman Al-Zawahiri. The possibility that someone – not just Assad – will try to kill Al-Joulani seems high. The victory in Aleppo also exposed tensions and fissures in Turkey’s fraught relations with Iran and Russia.[15] It also frays Qatar’s – allied to Turkey and longtime supporter of Al-Joulani – ties with Iran. It used to be that Qatar could posture as an ally of Turkey and Iran, now it is exposed as favoring the former over the latter.

While the fate of HTS heading south into the Syrian heartland is unclear, on the surface it will be difficult for Assad to quickly recover Aleppo and its environs. He was only able to take the city – the half the rebels controlled in 2016 – with the help of Hezbollah fighters, Iraqi militias, Iranian generals, and Russian firepower. Soleimani and Nasrallah are dead and Russia has its hands full. Iran would need to recruit new infantry cadres in Iraq and Iran, Assad would need to remobilize and retrain troops (this seems to be already beginning).[16] This will take time. And they would have to be reassured that Turkey would not intervene militarily to keep its prize. Turkey may also want to secure a new deal with Russia and Iran to freeze the newest battle lines in place, thereby pocketing the gains won by HTS and its allies.

But it does seem that Iran and Russia will try to assist Assad. Russia has appointed a new commander in Syria and unconfirmed reports say that Iran is sending its General Jawad Ghafari, “the Butcher of Aleppo,” back to Syria.[17] If the past is any guide, a regime offensive orchestrated by Iran and Russia would seek to overwhelm the rebels by sheer weight of numbers. But that will take some time to prepare. And HTS has probably now more than doubled the Syrian population it controls.

There is a very real rivalry between allies Russia and Iran in Syria but that may be shelved for now. The Syrian Arab Army unit, the 30th Syrian Republican Guard (SRG) Division, charged with the main defense of Western Aleppo, was a Russian product. Assad himself – as opposed to the regime he heads – has not looked so weak in a decade.

Faustian bargains are not impossible and perhaps Turkey could be compensated elsewhere, particularly if it includes a final reckoning with Syria’s Kurdish region. But sacrificing too much would dent Turkey’s symbiotic relationship with its Syrian Islamist allies. Some of the Arab Gulf states are deeply uneasy at the prospect of Assad falling to Syrian Islamists, especially to a movement led by a leader who seems to be both genuinely popular and connected to their rival Qatari neighbors.[18] They will open their pocketbooks once again to promote their preferred outcomes. Israel meanwhile looks on with both interest and concern, their main goal will be to make sure that Syria’s border with Israel remains free of potential threats, whether from Sunni or Shia Jihadists with ambitious delusions of grandeur.

Still another wild card is the United States at the cusp of new leadership.[19] It is not impossible that a new Trump Administration could conclude that America has no compelling national interests in Syria at all and that the best thing is for this cornucopia of bad actors – Al-Joulani, Turkey, Iran, Assad, Russia, the Gulf states – to fight it out among themselves. Currently the United States is allied most closely with the leftist/nationalist Syrian Kurds (SDF/YPG), who are bitter enemies of Turkey and maneuver between America, Russia, and the Assad regime in a desperate bid to maintain their hard-won autonomy. It is not at all clear if the Trump Administration, rightly concerned about imperial overreach overseas, will continue with these policies.

With or without American involvement, this deadly minuet of war and diplomacy will continue. Some (Al-Joulani, Turkey) are winning today and some others are clearly on the defensive (Assad, Iran) but it is not at all clear who will be the ultimate winner in the end. And when that end will arrive.

Netanyahu’s wife meets with Trump, discusses plight of hostages

December 2, 2024/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, Must Read, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Socialism, Terrorism, Video/by NEWSRAEL Telling the Israeli Story

Sara Netanyahu dines with President-elect Donald Trump at his Florida golf club, speaking with the incoming president regarding the plight of hostages held in Gaza, and the ‘fight against the axis of evil.’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, Sara Netanyahu, met with former President and President-elect Donald Trump in Florida Sunday, Mrs. Netanyahu and the Trump campaign’s deputy director of communications said Monday morning.

WATCH:

Sara Netanyahu is in the midst of a 20-day visit to Miami, Florida, visiting her son, Yair Netanyahu.

On Sunday night, Mrs. Netanyahu dined with the incoming president at his Mar-a-Lago Gulf Club.

Margo Martin, who served as press secretary during the first Trump administration and Deputy Director of Communications during the 2024 presidential campaign, posted an image of the two at a table in the club’s dining hall to X/Twitter.

“President Donald Trump and Sara Netanyahu having dinner at Trump International Golf Course tonight,” Martin tweeted.

Mrs. Netanyahu also uploaded the photo to her Instagram account, writing that she had responded to an invitation by the incoming president.

“I attended a dinner meeting at President-elect Donald Trump’s golf club, to which I was invited by him. I congratulated the President on his historic victory in the elections.”

The two discussed the plight of Israeli hostages still held captive in the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu wrote, as well as the war against the “axis of evil.”

“During the meeting, which was warm and friendly, we discussed many topics, including the steadfast friendship between Israel and the United States and the importance of continuing to nurture the unique bond between our nations.”

“I also brought to the President’s attention the immense suffering Israel endured on October 7th and the inhumanity of Hamas terrorists holding our citizens hostage under harsh conditions. I emphasized the urgent need to act for their release and swift return.”

“We also discussed the strategic importance of Israel’s victory in the fight against the axis of evil, for a more stable and secure future in the Middle East and around the world.”

Eyeless in Gaza: A History of a Cursed Land

December 2, 2024/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Hot Topics, Must Read, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Social Issues, Terrorism/by Barry Shaw

Gaza is a place that makes men mad and blind. Historically, it has been cursed and cursed again.

There is something about this place that rejects progress and breeds death and destruction.

It began brightly when settled by the Canaanites, an early Jewish tribe. It was even described in the Bible as “the Promised Land.”

Archeological evidence describes an overlapping of an Israelite and a Canaanite culture.

Etymology however hints at the inevitable fate of Gaza in the Hebrew letters of its Semitic name. To be subjugated.

Then the Philistines came, and Gaza has been cursed ever since.

The biblical story of Samson and Delilah tells of a strong man from the Jewish tribe of Dan who lived near Bet Shemesh who was lured into Gaza only to be tortured, blinded and killed, by the Philistines.

Hence the expression “Eyeless in Gaza.”

According to the Book of Judges, the Philistines oppressed Israel for 40 years.

The lesson of Samson was that he was arrogant and foolhardy. This has been the fate of those who have ambitions in Gaza.

Alexander the Great conquered and rebuilt Gaza only for it to be destroyed and desolated until the arrival of the Romans when it became a trading port.

After the Roman conquest of Jerusalem, Jews were sold into slavery and taken down to Gaza.

In the rebellion of 66 CE, Gaza was burned down.

Gradually, Gaza became a trading pivot between the Middle East and Africa. Christianity took root, mainly through conversions.

There was a Jewish presence as witnessed by the archeological site of a 6^th Century synagogue with a mosaic floor depicting King David.

Arab Muslim conquest led to the end of the Byzantine period in which churches were converted into mosques.

In the year 766, Gaza was laid waste through civil wars between rival Arab tribes, something that was to repeat itself in our lifetime.

When the Crusaders arrived in the year 1100, they found Gaza uninhabited and in ruin. Yet, 60 years later, travelers described the place as “very populous and in the hands of the Crusaders.”

Gaza then endured a tempestuous period. First an earthquake, then conquering Mongols destroyed what had been rebuilt by the Mameluks.

Gaza suffered the wrath of heaven and hell with a bubonic plague, a flood, and further destruction through periods of conquest, treason and teachery, until the arrival of the Ottoman Turks in the 16^th Century.

Even under Ottoman rule, Gaza was plagued by Bedouin tribes plundering unguarded camel caravans using Gaza as a trade link between the Middle East and Africa.

Gaza was briefly occupied by the French under Napoleon Boneparte who referred to it as “the outpost of Africa and the door to Asia.” But even he was forced to abandon his short-lived control of Gaza after his forces failed to capture the port city of Acre which led to the French retreat out of the Middle East.

By 1838, one American traveler, Edward Robinson, described Gaza as being larger in population than Jerusalem but, a year later, the bubonic plaque struck again, and Gaza stagnated.

With the Ottomans battling encroaching Egyptians, this tempestuous place suffered more death and destruction.

By World War One, Gaza had been strengthened into an Ottoman fortress town largely populated by their military enlarged by the arrival of German forces.

In 1917, British forces failed twice to defeat joint Ottoman and German armies in Gaza.

A second Gaza battle in April 1917 ended in a massacre for the British.

Officially, General Murray put the casualty figures at “between 6,000 and 7,000,” but others claim numbers between 14,000 and 17,000 deaths.

Where else have we heard about disputed Gaza casualty figures?

Murray was replaced by General Allenby.

Under the advice of his senior British officers in Cairo, Allenby prepared for the third Battle of Gaza until a Jew, recruited into British intelligence, advised Allenby to ignore his generals and target Beer Sheba.

Palestinian agronomist, Aaron Aaronsohn, advised Allenby; “You can’t reach Jerusalem and liberate Palestine without watering thousands of men, thousands of horses and camels, and your motorized vehicles, and I know where the water is.”

An impressed Allenby countermanded his senior officers and ordered them to plan for Beer Sheba which was captured in heroic style with the last great cavalry charge in military history by the ANZACS on 31 October, 1917.

I recount the history of the battles, the characters and dramas, in my book, ‘1917 From Palestine to the Land of Israel.’

Gaza eventually fell with a British siege that depleted the Turks and Germans of food and water.

By avoiding Gaza, Allenby was able to liberate Jerusalem and eventually drive the Ottoman rulers out of Palestine.

Three points need to be emphasized in this war.

Jews fought in their own unit to drive the Ottoman Turks out of Palestine.

No Arabs volunteered to liberate Palestine west of the Jordan River.

The Jewish Legion, however, fought east of the Jordan River to apprehend captured Turkish prisoners after creating a bridgehead which the ANZAC cavalry crossed to win the battle of e-Salt in today’s Jordan.

There had been a Jewish presence in Gaza throughout this conflict until 1929 when Arab pogroms, initiated by Haj Amin al Husseini, reached Gaza. Those that weren’t killed were escorted out of Gaza by train to Tel Aviv by the British for their safety.

By 1946, Gaza was a stateless wilderness, but Jews returned to Gaza and created Kibbutz Kfar Darom.

The founders based their claim thus, “Our ambition is to settle this land and make the wilderness flourish because, since the exile of our ancestor, it has been abandoned and turned into a wilderness. At the same time, we wish to build our lives in the spirit of the Torah and the prophets, the same spirit which accompanied and strengthened our people through years of wandering, suffering and torment.”

They fortified their kibbutz initially against marauding Arab gangs, but they were caught up in the early stages of a war between Egypt and the fledgling State of Israel, and it was attacked before Israel declared its independence.

The battle began with Egyptian heavy shelling and an onslaught of armored vehicles escorted by field artillery tanks and thousands of infantry soldiers on the first day.

Miraculously, the Kfar Darom defenders fought and stopped the Egyptian attack.

Failing to conquer Kfar Darom, the Egyptians besieged the community and continued north. The defenders held their ground against the entire Egyptian army in an incredible heroic battle for three months.

In the night of July 9, 1948, they were commanded to evacuate the kibbutz. Ten had been killed and sixty injured when they locked the gate and retreated north out of Gaza.

In 1981, as part of an Egyptian peace treaty, Jews who lived in Sinai moved to the Gaza area and created twenty-one settlements. The most populated Gush Katif area was located along the Gazan coastline with homes, thirty synagogues, schools and yeshivot.

Another group of settlements were located along Gaza’s northern border with Israel, expanding the Jewish presence from Ashkelon to the edges of Gaza City with the Erez Industrial zone as part of this bloc.

Netzarim, Kfar Darom, and Morag were strategically located in the heart of the Gaza Strip creating a framework and its main transportation route. In addition, the settlements developed a thriving agriculture on land fed by the area’s main aquifers.

One settlement, Gadid, had a large French population and maintained an absorption center for new immigrants from France.

Gaza prospered into an agricultural and tourism paradise. Jews and Muslims coexisted for more than a decade, but tensions grew, ignited by malevolent Arabs and, in 1987, a Jewish shopper in a Gazan market was stabbed to death. The next day an Israeli truck accidentally killed four Arabs, sparking the first riots of what would become the first intifada.

A brief period of calm followed the Oslo Accords and Israel agreed to withdraw from parts of the Gaza Strip. But an escalation of violence after September 2000 led Israel to impose stricter measures on Palestinians in the area in order to protect the Jewish families in Gaza. But the Palestinian violence increased leading to frequent military operations to prevent terror attacks against soldiers and Jews living in the Gaza settlements as well as to prevent Arab infiltrations to attack targets inside Israel.

On August 17, 2005, in the search for peace with the Palestinians, Israel evacuated all the Jews from Gaza until there were no Jews left even exhuming the bodies of the dead for reinternment in Israel.

As Jews were being forced out of their homes in Gaza by Israeli soldiers, American Jews donated $14 million buying greenhouses from the Jewish farmers and donated them to Gaza’s new Arab government. Former World Bank President, James Wolfensohn, even gave half a million of his own money to the scheme.

However, as soon as the last Jew left Gaza, the greenhouses were destroyed, looted and smashed while Gaza’s Arab police officers stood watching.

Since the disengagement no Jews have been present in the Gaza Strip. But the Arabs didn’t stop killing. Where there were no Jews, they began killing each other.

With the death of Yasser Arafat in November 2004, the rivalry between Hamas and Fatah burst into a deadly civil war.

Over 600 Palestinians were killed in the fighting from January 2006 to May 2007. Dozens more were killed or executed in the following years as part of the conflict. Under Hamas control Gaza was turned into the world’s largest terror metropolis both above and below ground. Everything and everybody were dedicated to the ultimate goal of destroying Israel and killing Jews.

And so we have the curse that is Gaza today. A curse that has infected the West that actively, willingly, supports a Jew-hating terror regime. A curse that is heard and seen by its vocal and active hatred and criticism of Israel with one insidious example being a biased media that expresses sympathy for a hate fueled Palestinian Gaza by covering up blatant facts preferring to turn their biased venom against Israel, the collective Jew.

One example; “Not interested!” said Anna Botting and Sky News against Israeli spokesman, Mark Regev, of bombing the Al Ahli Hospital accusing him of killing 500 Palestinians after Regev requested her to withhold her anti-Israel judgment until the facts were known.

The fact turned out to be a Palestinian rocket, one of hundreds that were misfired in Gaza and killed Palestinians.

No apology from Botting or Sky News. They had become an arm of the Palestinian indoctrination machine in Gaza.

This is not confined to Sky News. It is wholesale across a rancid media that has become stained by the curse of Gaza.

The more pro-Palestinian they are the more viciously vindictive they are in their reporting against Israel. Example – the BBC is worse than Sky.

The more they dump down in Israel, the more they hide the murderous Palestinian ideology and crimes and, by doing so, gift Hamas a pyrrhic victory, help extend the war and seal the fate of our hostages.

The insane curse of Gaza exhibited by the Western media, extends to their politicians and into the international criminal courts that not only absolve Gaza of all its sins but act as prosecutors against the only liberal democracy in the Middle East.

In the end, Gaza is not only about Israel and Jews. It is also about the closing of the Western mind. A West that has become subservient to those that practice jihadism and has imported the curse of Gaza into their own backyard.

There is no hope for a world that is infected by ignorance and blindness.

They are all eyeless in Gaza.

For three thousand years, this place has been cursed.

Unless there is a reawakening, the curse of Gaza will stain us all for generations to come.

Biden Poses With Book By Terror Spox Claiming Israel Shouldn’t Exist

December 2, 2024/in Anti-Semitism, Communism, Culture War, Elections, Hot Topics, Marxism, Must Read, National Security, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Terrorism/by The Geller Report

With the election of President Trump, Israel and the U.S Jewish community not only dodged a bullet, they dodged a MOAB.

January 20th can’t come fast enough. President Joe Biden is a disgrace.

Biden spotted with book that accuses Israel of

The spotting has drawn mixed reactions from both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli groups that are unclear as to what message is being sent.

By Jerusalem Post, November 30th, 2024

US President Joe Biden was spotted leaving a bookstore in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Friday with a copy of The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017, by Palestinian-American historian Rashid Khalidi.

The purchase occurred during a holiday visit with his family as the nation kicked off the Black Friday shopping season following Thanksgiving. Photos of the outing have circulated all over X/Twitter and international media outlets.

It is unclear if Biden purchased the book or if it was handed to him. Multiple media outlets, including Fox News and The New York Post, have reached out to the White House for comment, but so far, there has been no response.

The Mainstreaming of Islamic Extremism

December 2, 2024/in Anti-Semitism, Culture War, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, Must Read, National Security, News, Policy, Politics, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Religion, Social Issues, Terrorism/by Matthew Hausman, J.D.

Progressives rationalize tenets that justify atrocities against Jews and destroying a sovereign democratic state, while they cheer Hamas for resisting an “occupation” that only exists in the minds of leftists, terrorists, and Palestinian Arab revisionists.

After the horrific events of last year and the war that followed, Hamas was finally recognized as a genocidal terror organization – but only by some and only for a moment. The global community almost immediately cast Hamas in a conciliatory light by contextualizing its brutality as “resistance to occupation,” though Israel withdrew from Gaza nearly twenty years ago.

Many world leaders blamed the victim by (a) criticizing Israel for a blockade designed to prevent the flow of weapons and terrorist materiel (but not the importation of food, health supplies, or essential goods) and (b) falsely portraying Gaza as an “open-air prison” (if anyone prevented Gazans from leaving, it was Hamas and Egypt) in the “most densely populated” urban area in the world. Though demonstrably wrong on all counts, such propaganda was reinforced through constant repetition by the mainstream media and progressive political establishment, including many prominent Democrats.

Honesty and common sense were thrown out the window by progressives who effectively called for another Holocaust by chanting “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and perpetuating the correlative myths of Palestinian Arab indigeneity and Jewish colonialism – in a land where only Jews have a documented presence going back to antiquity. Nevertheless, these and other odious canards were embraced as articles of faith by progressive politicians, leftist academics, identity community activists, and mainline liberal churches, who became standard bearers of the “new antisemitism,” which is merely a reworking of classical stereotypes and calumnies used to malign Jews through the ages.

Antisemitic slurs and tropes are shouted by street mobs, taught in college classrooms, and repeated by journalists, politicians, and celebrities. The world’s oldest hatred is also disseminated by pseudo-scholars who use the gloss of academia to slander Jewish tradition and claim, among other things, that the Temple never stood in Jerusalem and Jews are foreign interlopers descended from non-indigenous peoples who usurped a country – Palestine – that never existed. They are also committed to validating a people – the Palestinian Arabs – who are a modern political creation.

Anti-Jewish hatred is exacerbated by political, media, and academic establishments that provide no counterbalance and instead rewrite history, for example, by denying the Jews’ unbroken connection to their homeland as reflected in the archeological record and whitewashing the persecution of Jews under Islam. They are quick to denounce any perceived affront to Arab or Muslim sensibilities and just as quick to denigrate any expressions of Jewish pride or Israeli sovereignty.

Indeed, the mainstream generally refuses to acknowledge Muslim antisemitism, the relationship between radical Islam and terrorism, or the history of jihadist colonialism. Liberal pundits instead wax poetic about claims of Islamic tolerance, while rationalizing any antisemitic or anti-western excesses as reactions to Israeli provocations or American imperialism.

Unable to tolerate criticism of their own warped and bigoted views, they invariably claim to be victims of censorship whenever their screeds against Jews and Israel are exposed as antisemitic vitriol (though it seems nobody ever prevents them from speaking). But they remain mute regarding the historical subjugation and negative imagery of Jews under Islam, the influence of this imagery on anti-Israel rejectionism, and the cultural justifications for the murder, rape, and torture of Israelis.

To most progressives, Hamas and Hezbollah are neither extreme nor radical; and in the historical context of Islamist supremacism, they might actually have a point.

Traditionally, life was difficult for non-Muslims under Islam – particularly Jews, who were dispossessed from their land by conquest, relegated to dhimmi status, and generally degraded, abused, and denied human rights. Despite claims of tolerance throughout the Islamic world, the general treatment of Jews was often no better than in Christian Europe.

During the early Islamic period, for example, Jews were forced to wear distinctive badges or metal seals around their necks. Starting in ninth-century Baghdad, they were required to wear yellow badges (a practice that was brought to Europe by returning crusaders) and were often physically branded, while in Egypt they were required to wear bells on their garments. Throughout the Islamic world, Jews were often isolated or confined to ghettos, forbidden from using the same bathhouses as Muslims, and subjected to pogroms, massacres and forced conversions just as they were in Christian Europe.

Despite the fantasy of equity and prosperity during the Golden Age of Spain, Jews in the Iberian Peninsula often fared little better than their brethren under Christian rule. This reality was illustrated by the experiences of Rambam (Maimonides) and his family, who left their native Cordoba, not because of Christian Jew-hatred, but because the ruling Almohads gave the Jewish community the choice of conversion, exile, or death – centuries before the expulsion from Christian Spain.

The idea that Jewish life in the Islamic world was idyllic until the establishment of modern Israel is preposterous. Antisemitism was ubiquitous after the rise of Islam and ultimately influenced Arab hostility towards the reborn Jewish nation. Those who believe the myth of peaceful coexistence are not typically of Sephardic, Mizrachi or Yemenite Jewish descent. If they were, they would be more likely to know from the experiences of parents and grandparents how precarious Jewish life was in Arab lands and how antisemitism there preceded Israel’s rebirth by centuries.

Anti-Jewish sources appear in both written and oral tradition, for example, in Quranic verses accusing the Jews of perverting scripture (e.g., Sura 3:63; 3:71; 4:46), eschatological passages from the Hadith foretelling their ultimate extermination (Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 56, No. 791), and references in both to the slaughter of the Jews known as Banu Qurayza in Medina. Thus, it is not surprising that Jews in Islamic society were scorned, demeaned, and subjugated; and given the doctrinal basis for this enmity, hostility for the state of Israel was inevitable.

The reality of Muslim antisemitism is ignored by those who believe that obsequious apologetics is necessary to atone for past colonialism. But Islamist Jew-hatred is fully embraced by radical progressives, whose chants of “from the river to the sea…” are really calls for genocide. The irony is lost on these useful idiots that the fundamentalist ideology they deem politically virtuous rejects the foundation of their woke identities. There are no “Queers for Palestine” or “CODEPINK” feminists who would be welcome in a fundamentalist Islamic state where women are subjugated, and gay people are killed.

What western apologists fail to appreciate is the integral persistence of dogma that divides the world into “dar al-Islam” (house of Islam) and “dar al-Harb” (house of war) and demands the subjugation of infidels. And in the absence of theological reformation, it seems unlikely that pandering dialogue will ever foster sincere acceptance of non-Islamic cultures or true peace with a Jewish state.

The affinity between radical Islamists and the progressive left seems counterintuitive given the left’s disdain for religion in its own cultural backyard. But the so-called “red-green alliance” makes perfect sense considering that leftists and Islamists share a common hatred of western democratic values – and of Jews and Israel.

It is this shared hatred that influences progressives to (a) rationalize tenets that justify atrocities against Jews and (b) cheer Hamas for resisting an “occupation” that only exists in the minds of leftists, terrorists, and Palestinian Arab revisionists. The progressive refusal to acknowledge the religious basis of anti-Israel hatred suggests a worldview shaped either by ignorance or a repudiation of history, democratic values, and common decency.

Whatever the motivation, the progressive coddling of Islamists clearly is no path to peace. Nor is pressuring Israel to cease defending herself before achieving her objectives against Iran and its terrorist proxies. The road to peace, moreover, does not require a two-state solution with people who deny Jewish history. Rather, it depends on genuine acceptance of the Jews’ sovereignty in their homeland, which necessarily requires a reformation of thought, ideology, and doctrine.

But what encourages such reformation, and can it be imposed from without?

The traditional peace process always ignored the elephant in the room – i.e., the faith-based foundation of anti-Israel rejectionism – and demanded unilateral concessions by Israel based on revisionist presumptions, e.g., the validity of a Palestinian Arab narrative that denies Jewish history. This was true of Oslo, the Obama-era strategy of bullying Israel and appeasing Iran, and the Biden embrace of anti-Israel and antisemitic progressives.

If anything, October 7th proved the fecklessness of these policies and the two-state concept.

The only deviation from the policy failures of past administrations was the Abraham Accords during President Trump’s first term, which sought normalization through shared economic, cultural, and strategic interests. Perhaps this strategy could facilitate the doctrinal change necessary for reformation – and perhaps not. But reinvigorating the accords as a paradigm while simultaneously renewing America’s commitment to a strong Israel might pave the way for real ideological change that could significantly influence the geopolitical landscape of the Mideast during a second Trump term.

And why not?

“This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities,” said Biden.

WATCH: The Fighting Goes On Despite Fake Hezbollah Ceasefire

Ceasefires against Islamic terrorists are observed mainly in the breach. Islamic terrorists don’t observe actual ceasefires, they use them to reorient and regroup, but continue attacking to celebrate their ‘victory’.

(To Muslim terrorists, the other side agreeing to a cessation of fighting or proposing peace is a sign of their weakness.)

So despite all the hype, the fighting between Israel and the Hezbollah terrorist group continues.

The Israeli air force struck Hezbollah terrorists and a rocket launcher in southern Lebanon on Friday, the IDF reported.

Troops detected terrorist activity and the movement of a Hezbollah portable rocket launcher, according to the military.

The IDF noted that it will actively enforce violations of the ceasefire agreement, which took effect on Wednesday.

What that means is that there’s a ‘ceasefire’ between the bouts of fighting.

According to Biden, “under the deal reached today, effective at 4:00 a.m. tomorrow local time, the fighting across the Lebanese-Israeli border will end — will end. This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.”

No, it wasn’t. It was designed to save Hezbollah to fight another day. And another day may be sooner than we think.

Meanwhile, Hamas flags are being waved across American campuses.

Hamas official Ali Baraka envisions the end of America.

Islamic terrorism is never just a local or a nationalistic phenomenon. The Islamic ‘ummah’ is in a global struggle with the non-Muslim world or the Dar-al-Harb to conquer and dominate it. Muslim terror apologists spread the false claim that their aims are local, not global, but like leftists they think globally and act locally.

And then they start acting globally.

German prosecutors have filed charges against four Hamas terrorist operatives suspected of preparing attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe, Berlin’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office announced on Monday.

Abdelhamid Al A., Mohamed B. and Ibrahim El-R. were arrested by German police on Dec. 14, 2023. The fourth suspect, Nazih R., a Dutch national, was apprehended the same day and extradited on Feb. 28.

According to German authorities, the four suspects “worked as foreign operators for Hamas for years. They held important positions within the organization with direct ties to senior officials in the military wing.”

The Arab men were tasked by Hamas to maintain weapons depots in multiple European countries and “keep them ready for possible attacks against Jewish institutions,” the prosecutors claimed.

In connection with the preparations for the terror attack on Oct. 7, 2023, the [Hamas] organization showed interest in making the deposited weapons available again,” the charges read. The terror group was said to have considered attacks on the Israeli embassy in Berlin, the German capital’s Tempelhof Airport and the United States’ Ramstein Air Base.

Hamas has killed plenty of Americans in Israel over the years, but this was an example of the expansion of the terror group’s ambitions across Europe and even included a plan to attack an American Air Force base.

Meanwhile, Hamas flags are being waved across American campuses and the Biden-Harris administration worked overtime to save the Muslim Brotherhood terror group from Israel.

CHICAGO: Hamas gives it’s marching orders — ‘Genocide’

November 29, 2024/in Anti-Semitism, Courts & Law, Culture War, Iranian influence, Must Read, National Security, Policy, Politics, Propaganda, Religion/by The United West/ Defend The Border

Listen up America, a convention is taking place right now in Chicago (ground zero for HAMAS) with the theme: GAZA: Outlasting Genocide.

All you need to know about this HAMAS convention is the theme focus, GENOCIDE.

Seriously, has anyone seen a war, started on Oct 7, 2023 by HAMAS, where “genocidal” Israel, sends flyers, makes phone calls, send texts and uses other methods to tell the targets of “genocide” to move because a bomb is coming to blow up a HAMAS weapons factory?

What about the women and children who are actually dying in this war?

The terrorists at this Chicago convention (more on these terrorists later) should speak to the many HAMAS spokespersons who said, on the record, that HAMAS’ sacrifice of the women and children are part of the their plan to turn public opinion against Israel and Isolate Israel from the world community.

Seems like the HAMAS sacrifice of children is working quite well.

Must this unnecessary destruction of human life continue?

NO!

The HAMAS sacrifice of woman and children ENDS TODAY… if HAMAS raises the while flag of surrender and releases the hostages.

But, if the sacrifice of women and children ends then the brave, male warriors of HAMAS will be humiliated before the worldwide UMMA (Muslim community) because humiliation in doctrinal Islam, is infinity worse than dead women and kids, ripped to shreds, in the streets of Gaza.

You see, the dead kids and their mothers are now MARTYRS, in Muslim Paradise and the brave punks of HAMAS are not humiliated. An Islamic win-win.

When it’s an Islamic contest between dead kids and humiliation, dead kids lose every time.

Yes, Islam is a system of beliefs that simply stands in contradistinction to Judeo-Christian values.

Israeli soldiers stand in FRONT of their women and children.

Muslim terrorists stand BEHIND their women and children.

Who are really the genocidal maniacs?

Let’s look at the Hamas and the GAZA: Outlasting Genocide convention in Chicago.

Here are a couple of key points:

The leadership of this convention HATE America.
The leadership of this convention want to use the liberal laws and First Amendment of America to destroy “miserable America” (their words) from within.
The leadership of this convention want to see Shariah Law (Muslim Law) as the law of America, in their lifetimes.
The leadership of this convention are planning to unleash mass disruption against Tom Homan and his mission to deport illegal aliens who are outright criminals.
The leadership of this convention are defendants in several lawsuits tying them to HAMAS and to funding from foreign Muslim countries.

TAKE ACTION — CHECK OUT HAMAS PROPAGANDA

Review the American Muslims for Palestine website.
Watch the American Muslims for Palestine video titled “AMP’s 16th Annual Convention Highlights Gaza’s Resilience, A Resounding Success from 2023” below.
Note the dual messaging between hatred for Israel and America (cause of genocide) and the theatrical performances of the American Muslims for Palestine and other jihadi organizations, as they try to convince viewers they are “good” American citizens.

AMP’s 16th Annual Convention Highlights Gaza’s Resilience, A Resounding Success from 2023

The Bottom Line

The leaders of this convention are anti-American, Jew-hating, Muslim jihadis, who fully support HAMAS in Israel and are, according to several lawsuits (and The United West) HAMAS in America.
