The party of fascism and Hitlerian Jew-hatred is projecting their sins onto the opposition. This is pure desperation.
Make no mistake, this will only drive more people to Trump.
It’s a transparent attempt to incite more violence against the last man standing against their tyranny.
Trump was the greatest President for the Jews.
He saved Jews.
Democrats are killing them.
During his Presidency, Donald Trump signed “Executive Order 13899 on Combating Anti-Semitism.” As a result, Jewish students were protected under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and have sued their Universities for anti-Semitism.
The Democratic National Committee is projecting digital messages on Madison Square Garden’s exterior during former President Donald Trump’s campaign rally on Sunday about recent reports that he once praised Adolf Hitler and his generals and that cast him as unhinged.
“Trump praised Hitler,” one of five planned projections from the DNC says, referring to Trump’s longest-serving chief-of-staff, four-star Marine Corps. Gen. John Kelly, telling The Atlantic this week that Trump had admirable things to say about the German dictator.
Trump says he “never said it,” and campaign aides have denied Kelly’s accounts.
Sunday marks the first time the DNC is projecting counterprogramming onto a building while Trump will be inside it, but it’s far from the first time Democrats have deployed the technique. The DNC put projections on Trump Tower in New York City on the night of the vice presidential debate and on Chicago’s Trump International Hotel and Tower during the Democratic National Convention in August.
This time, the stunt comes as some Democrats make comparisons to a 1939 rally supporting Hitler and the Nazi party at a previous reiteration of Madison Square Garden ahead of World War II. Billed as a “Pro American Rally,” the February 1939 event was organized by German American Bund, an pro-Hitler organization, attended by more than 20,000 people and saw an even larger number of counter-protesters outside.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz on Sunday also compared Trump’s rally there to the 1939 rally.
“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” Walz said, speaking to voters in Nevada. “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid 1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there.”
Walz and Vice President Kamala Harris have recently increased their criticisms of the former president as they push their final message to voters in the final stretch ahead of the election. In a CNN town hall, Harris agreed that Trump was a fascist and Walz has called comments from the former president “so damn racist.”
In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Hillary Clinton said Trump’s choice of venue for his closing message was no coincidence and that he was “actually reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939,” following similar comparisons from others including New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal.

This is yet another reason to vote for President Trump in November. The Israeli Airforce performed spectacularly in attacking Iran’s military sites. However, Iran’s nuke sites remain standing. That is because the hideous Biden-Harris-Blinken Administration refuse to provide Israel with the diplomatic support that it requires to finish Iran’s genocidal regime.
Such a betrayal will not occur with President Trump in the Oval office. President Trump will not put any restrictions on Israel when defending itself (and Western Civilization) against Iran. However, Trump or no Trump, Israel will need to bomb Iran’s nuke sites no later than sometime in 2025.
Israel’s attacks on Iran this morning were devastating. Dozens of combat planes flew 1,000 miles and are reported to have struck 20 military sites across the country. The primary targets were air defence systems and missile manufacturing facilities. This leaves Tehran more vulnerable to future strikes.
But there are two other consequences of Israel’s raids that are even more significant. First, the ayatollahs, already fearful of a direct, all-out war against a stronger power, will now be even more cowed and may be cautious about any retaliation. There was an indication of that in their statement that Israel had not crossed their red lines with this attack.
Second, they will have intensified fears for their top priority: the stability of their regime. There is significant dissent within the country and this latest dramatic sign of vulnerability will encourage those who seek to bring down the government. The dissidents will not be taken in by Tehran’s bluster that the Israeli strikes were blunted by air defences and caused only limited damage, a lie underlined by threats to Iranian citizens of lengthy prison sentences if they share footage of the strikes.
Nor will they believe the regime’s assertions that Israel was deterred by their warnings against the more significant attack that some had expected in response to repeated Iranian aggression, including the failed barrage of 200 missiles on October 1. Israel’s raid was not powerful enough to deal with the Iranian threat but that has nothing to do with any warnings from Tehran.

Bay‘at (A pledge, swearing unconditional subservience to a powerful person), a longstanding practice among the pre-Islamic Arabs, was fully incorporated into Islam by Muhammad and accounts for much of his success in gathering more and more power.
Bay’at is a very effective yet simple practice. A locally powerful tyrant summons less powerful individuals, usually one at a time, and gives them a choice: Become my subservient, loyal follower and recognize me as your superior. If you do so, your life is spared, and I may reward you in other ways. If you fail to do so, I will take your life, assume lordship over your followers, and take possession of everything you have.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, the lesser chiefs and leaders fall into line very quickly, realizing the alternative is complete devastation and death for them, their families, and their followers. So, with one stroke, the more powerful brute subsumes a significant human and material resource under his reign.
Muhammad practiced this art with consummate skill. The highly scattered, chronically at war with one another tribes of Arabia didn’t have much choice when Muhammad and his superior force offered them the bargain. The great majority of these tribal chiefs did take the bargain and saved their own necks and that of their people. Those who resisted lost everything anyway.
And power begets power, up to a point. Islam’s power continued long after Muhammad’s death through the practice of Bay’at on a much larger scale or the use of the sword.
“Broadly speaking, this pledge of allegiance to a person of authority has become the practical meaning of the term “bay‘a” in Islam. It was first and foremost applied to the Prophet. Still, after his death, it was also extended to other Muslim community leaders, primarily the caliph, the successor to the Prophet in political affairs and in upholding Islamic rule. Ideally, this pledge of allegiance to a caliph takes place through his election, but it may also happen through appointment by his predecessor. According to ‘ulama’ (Muslim scholars), the caliph himself must satisfy several conditions, including ruling based on justice (‘adala), possessing knowledge (‘ilm) of Islamic tradition and law, having physical and mental fitness, being courageous and determined, waging jihad, and being a descendant of the Quraysh tribe, to which the Prophet Muhammad himself also belonged. [14]”
When the prophet Muhammad died, infighting started earnestly among the various factions. Each demanded Bay’at with another clan. People began jockeying for power and doing their best to destroy their competition. Ali, Muhammad’s son-in-law, was elbowed out of the way by the more powerful disciples of the prophet, and he had to wait his turn to lead the already fractured and feuding Ummah. Several of the faithful resented the fact that Ali was not allowed to take over. Some felt victimized by Umar and his powerful conspirators and hated Ali for not standing up and fighting like a man. Some real stand-and-fight Muslims decided that Ali should be punished, and he was knifed to death on his way to the mosque.
The death of Ali was the real stirring of the hornet’s nest. All kinds of power struggles, infighting, and bloodletting started among the followers of the religion of peace. Ali’s boys, namely Hassan and Hussein, decided to salvage their dad’s honor by standing and fighting like a good Muslim should and enjoying the perks of being the gang’s leaders. So, a real fight was joined. On one side was Yazid with his mighty army and wealth, and on the other side were Hassan and Hussein with their ragtag band of followers. Hassan was killed unceremoniously in short order, but Hussein was not about to bow out. Hussein started a dialogue with his adversary, Yazid.
Hussein: I am the rightful inheritor of the house of Muhammad. I demand that all believers, including you Yazid, accept me (bay‘at) as the head of the Ummah.
Yazid: Nothing doing, man. Muhammad’s Ummah is not a family business. It is the faith of Allah that must follow His laws. The people select the most righteous man as the head of the faith, just as the Caliphs did. The faith of Allah is based on meritocracy and not heredity.
Hussein: You are wrong, Yazid. My granddaddy started the business, my daddy gave his life for it, my brother was murdered to claim it, and I intend to take what is rightfully mine.
Yazid: Hussein, you seem just as stubborn as Hassan. You are not amenable to reason, so let the sword of justice settle our dispute. You know the rest of the story. Hussein stubbornly refused to relinquish his claim to power over Yazid. Shimr cut off his head, impaled it on a spear, and presented it to Yazid as a trophy.
The followers of the house of Ali and his lineage, a minority of about 10 percent of Muslims, felt victimized by the evil Yazid. Since there was very little that these lovers of Ali’s house could do to change things materially, they assumed the role of victims.
Let’s be clear: a Muslim’s loyalty or Bay‘at is to the Islamic Ummah that recognizes nothing other than one worldwide Ummah of Islam with no allowance for independent nationalities. A Muslim is required to abide by and live under the laws of Sharia and not the Constitution of the United States of America or any other laws. Because a Muslim must adhere to Islamic laws and not to a man-made law like the US Constitution, a Muslim can never be both a Muslim and an American at the same time.
The Pledge of Allegiance says, “one nation under God,” while a Muslim is required to be part of the Ummah under Allah. It is critically important to realize that Allah is not the same as the Judeo-Christian God. The two are vastly different beings.
In short, Muslims, those who consider themselves good and peaceful, as well as those who want us to accept their ideology of barbarism at the point of the sword, take the fateful step of joining the free and emancipated family of humanity and pledging (Bay’at) allegiance to the US Constitution, or they can move back to the country of their origin.

Former President Donald Trump is maintaining a small lead over Vice President Kamala Harris among an unlikely demographic as her campaign reportedly worries about her chances in key swing states, according to a new Arab News/YouGov poll obtained by Semafor.
In a new Arab News/YouGov poll, 45% of Arab American voters said they are more likely to vote for Trump, compared to 43% who said they will likely vote for Harris. More Arab Americans, 39%, think Trump will “successfully resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict,” compared to Harris who has 33% of the community’s support on this question, the poll shows. Two weeks before the election, the Harris campaign is worried about the vice president’s chances in the “blue wall,” such as Michigan, where the Muslim community is prominent, three sources with knowledge of the campaign’s strategy told NBC News.
“There has been a thought that maybe Michigan or Wisconsin will fall off,” a senior Harris campaign official told NBC News, emphasizing that there are real concerns over her path to victory if Michigan goes for Trump while Wisconsin and Pennsylvania stay blue.
Of likely Arab American voters, 4% of respondents said they would cast their vote for third-party candidate Jill Stein and 6% said they were still undecided, according to the poll. Arab News/YouGov surveyed 500 Arab Americans nationally between Sept. 26 and Oct. 1 2024 and the poll has a margin of error of 5.93%.
🧵 President Trump took to Truth Social to voice concerns that Arab-Americans are disaffected with Kamala Harris.
The Daily Caller recently did a deep dive on dissatisfaction with Harris in Muslim communities in Michigan that touched on some of the same concerns. pic.twitter.com/QQS0X3zGwt
Muslim Americans in Michigan are making an effort to flip the state for Trump in protest of the Biden-Harris administration’s Middle East policy. One activist organization, Drive for 75, has calculated that if 75% of its community can turn out to the polls then the vice president has a 99.9% chance of losing, Rex Nazarko, who is heading up the effort, previously told the Daily Caller.
“What was a guarantee for [a Harris loss] to happen? We tried with different percentages and different turnouts, and with the 75% number, again, accounting only for the Muslim community, not other communities, not other allies, not other progressives. It essentially guaranteed a 99.9% likelihood of the vice president losing the election in Michigan, if 75% of [the community turned out],” Nazarko told the Caller, explaining that they ran numerous mathematical simulations to inform their strategy.
“We ran that simulation 10,000 times, and almost every time that was the case. So that’s how we got the Drive for 75 call to action and idea,” he explained.
As a part of the effort to flip the state, Muslim activist organizations are pushing their community to vote for Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, or even Trump, they told the Daily Caller. Abandon Harris, one of those groups trying to spoil Harris’ election chances, threw its support behind Stein, who also has the backing of some socialist groups in the U.S. due to her anti-capitalist economic positioning.
“We need to be clear about what our goals are, we are not in a position to win the White House. But we do have a real opportunity to win something historic. We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan,” Kshama Sawant, a former Seattle City Council Member and self-described socialist, said to cheers at a recent rally for Stein.
A Harris campaign spokesperson denied NBC News’ report that there were concerns over their ability to win Michigan.
“We absolutely are competing to win Michigan,” Harris campaign spokeswoman Lauren Hitt told NBC News, pointing to the vice president’s recent stops in the state. “We think we will win Michigan.”
The vice president has recently campaigned across key swing states including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin alongside former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney.
Alongside Cheney, her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney previously endorsed Harris, though the endorsement might not have the positive effect the campaign is hoping to have, one Michigander told the Caller.
“Here’s the new thing going around, people are saying that, ‘hello, she’s been endorsed by Dick Cheney.’ That tells you everything you need to know about this woman: that her intentions are war,” Vice chair of the 12th Congressional District Republican Committee Stephanie Butler, who is married to a Muslim, told the Caller.
Trump took to TruthSocial Monday to give a message to Arab and Muslim American voters ahead of the election on Harris’ Middle East policy.
“Arab Voters are very upset that Comrade Kamala Harris, the Worst Vice President in the History of the United States and a Low IQ individual, is campaigning with ‘dumb as a rock’ War Hawk, Liz Cheney, who, like her father, the man that pushed Bush to ridiculously go to War in the Middle East, also wants to go to War with every Muslim Country known to mankind,” Trump wrote.
“If Kamala gets four more years, the Middle East will spend the next four decades going up in flames, and your kids will be going off to war, maybe even a Third World War, something that will never happen with President Donald J. Trump in charge. For our country’s sake, and for your kids, Vote Trump for PEACE!” the former president wrote.
Sky News officially names Ariane Tabatabai as suspect in Israeli – Pentagon document leak.
Tabatabai is a long time Iranian operative who who kept her security clearance despite previous ‘spying for Tehran’ accusations.
The Iranian-born Pentagon official kept her top-level security clearance despite being named as part of a covert influence campaign run by Tehran — and being called a “spy.”
She was not working alone.
The refusal by Pentagon top brass to remove Tabatabai – and her security clearance at the very least – are complicit in this act of treason.
Ariane Tabatabai appeared to be a willing recruit in the covert influence operation run by Tehran’s Foreign Ministry, according to a trove of leaked files revealed last month by Semafor.
Since early 2022, Tabatabai has been chief of staff to the Pentagon’s assistant secretory of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, Christopher P. Maier.
Frustration is swirling on Capitol Hill following a top Defense Department official’s revelation that a suspected Iranian influence agent remained on the job at the Pentagon last week while U.S. national security officials were coordinating international efforts to defend Israel from a coming Iranian attack.
Sparks flew during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing last week when Assistant Secretary of Defense Christopher Maier told lawmakers that Ariane Tabatabai remained at work in an office overseeing special operations and irregular warfare despite concerns from lawmakers that she has operated at the behest of the Iranian regime.
Suspicion among lawmakers about Ms. Tabatabai’s potential participation in a hidden effort directed by the Iranian regime first came to the fore last year when alleged details about her appeared in a trove of emails from Iranian diplomats spanning from 2003 to 2021 that were published by news outlets.
In September, a group of 31 Republican senators wrote a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, pressing him for answers about Ms. Tabatabai‘s work at the Pentagon.
Concerns about Ms. Tabatabai boiled anew on Capitol Hill last week, with Sen. Tom Cotton asserting that the Department of Defense has only assured lawmakers that protocols were followed regarding Ms. Tabatabai’s work and Congress did not get more information.
The Arkansas Republican questioned Ms. Tabatabai’s boss, Assistant Secretary of Defense Christopher Maier, at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
“I’m sure protocols were followed for Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen as well,” Mr. Cotton said to Mr. Maier at the hearing. “I think it’s a basic function of our oversight responsibility for us to have more information about Ms. Tabatabai and how someone with these ties to well-known Iranian influence operation ended up working for you.”
Ames and Hanssen are former CIA and FBI employees convicted in U.S. federal court of spying for Russia. Mr. Cotton made clear that Mr. Maier, who oversees special operations and low-intensity conflict, was not responsible for Ms. Tabatabai’s hiring, but also said she served as chief of staff for his office.
Mr. Maier told lawmakers that Ms. Tabatabai still works in the office.
“Senator Cotton, Ms. Tabatabai still is employed in my office,” he said at the Wednesday hearing. “She is part, like all the other civilians, military, contractors in the department, subject to continuous vetting that’s done by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency. That’s about all that I can provide you in this forum and that’s what I’ve been provided by the folks that are really responsible for security in our department, sir.”
Pressed by Mr. Cotton to give additional details in a closed-door hearing, Mr. Maier said he would provide a bit more in the classified session with senators. A Senate Armed Services Committee spokesman declined to comment when asked if senators were satisfied with the additional testimony from Mr. Maier.
Whether Ms. Tabatabai had any visibility into the Pentagon efforts to stop the attack that Iran carried out against Israel over the weekend is not clear.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, which employs Ms. Tabatabai, manages secret programs and has knowledge of American forces operating in close proximity to Iranian proxies, according to Hudson Institute adjunct fellow Garrett Exner.
Mr. Exner wrote for the Hudson Institute last year that he served as a special operations policy adviser to that office for three years and believed an Iranian operative’s presence would put special operations forces in extreme danger.
A suspected Iranian operative’s presence could also jeopardize good diplomatic relations with America’s allies.
Jewish Institute for National Security of America fellow Gabriel Noronha claims that Pentagon officials have told him that European counterparts have refused to take meetings when Ms. Tabatabai participates, citing concerns about leaks of sensitive information.
Mr. Noronha told The Washington Times the Pentagon needs to reevaluate its approach to security investigations.
“In Ms. Tabatabai’s case, the public evidence alone is clear: she has close family connections and professional association with the regime’s senior leadership that should disqualify her from receiving a security clearance, which is a privilege and not a right,” Mr. Noronha said.
Details of Ms. Tabatabai’s alleged connections to Iran were published last year by the U.K.-based Iran International media outlet. The publication said Ms. Tabatabai participated in a network of academics and researchers privately working with the Iranian foreign ministry.
Iran International said it obtained the communications of Mostafa Zahrani, a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, that showed Ms. Tabatabai seeking Tehran’s advice on matters such as trips to Israel and participation in various conferences.
Ms. Tabatabai also served between 2021 and 2022 as an advisor to Robert Malley, a Biden administration official on leave from the State Department following the suspension of his security clearance, according to Iran International. The publication said she accompanied Mr. Malley to nuclear negotiations in Vienna in 2021.
The trail that leads from Tehran to D.C. passes directly through the offices of Robert Malley and the International Crisis Group
by Lee Smith · October 01, 2023
The Biden administration’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley helped to fund, support, and direct an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States and allied governments, according to a trove of purloined Iranian government emails. The emails, which were reported on by veteran Wall Street Journal correspondent Jay Solomon, writing in Semafor, and by Iran International, the London-based émigré opposition outlet which is the most widely read independent news source inside Iran, were published last week after being extensively verified over a period of several months by the two outlets. They showed that Malley had helped to infiltrate an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai into some of the most sensitive positions in the U.S. government—first at the State Department and now the Pentagon, where she has been serving as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier.
On Thursday, Maier told a congressional committee that the Defense Department is “actively looking into whether all law and policy was properly followed in granting my chief of staff top secret special compartmented information.”
The emails, which were exchanged over a period of several years between Iranian regime diplomats and analysts, show that Tabatabai was part of a regime propaganda unit set up in 2014 by the Iranian Foreign Ministry. The Iran Experts Initiative (IEI) tasked operatives drawn from Iranian diaspora communities to promote Iranian interests during the clerical regime’s negotiations with the United States over its nuclear weapons program. Though several of the IEI operatives and others named in the emails have sought to portray themselves on social media as having engaged with the regime in their capacity as academic experts, or in order to promote better understanding between the United States and Iran, none has questioned the veracity of the emails.
The contents of the emails are damning, showing a group of Iranian American academics being recruited by the Iranian regime, meeting together in foreign countries to receive instructions from top regime officials, and pledging their personal loyalty to the regime. They also show how these operatives used their Iranian heritage and Western academic positions to influence U.S. policy toward Iran, first as outside “experts” and then from high-level U.S. government posts. Both inside and outside of government, the efforts of members of this circle were repeatedly supported and advanced by Malley, who served as the U.S. government’s chief interlocutor with Iran under both the Obama and the Biden administrations. Malley is also the former head of the International Crisis Group (ICG), which directly paid and credentialed several key members of the regime’s influence operation.

Certainly, it appears that the prognostications of WEF, and other One World Order promoters are being helped along with purposeful destruction. Resilient supply chains are necessary to our national security and survival and economic security.
Destruction to bring about the future desired by the unelected elitists?

Government Spying on Citizens
The U.S. government has long been afraid of the American people. This is why the 4th amendment has been ignored and the government is watching us.
The 2002 movie, Minority Report, was about knowing every human’s thought and response to stimuli. Privacy was a thing of the past, the government spied on you in every way. Here we are 22 years later and there are auto license readers everywhere, cameras at intersections, cameras inside and outside businesses and in apartment buildings. Police cars are able to drive by your home and know everything about you via computer.
In communist Red China, the CCP can track a person no matter where they are and we thought that was only in the TV series, Person of Interest, with Jim Caviezel.
How about Google? You are the product with Google, they track every command, every text, every video, they own YouTube, take your phone with you and they know where you’ve been. If you use Gmail, they know every single email you’ve ever written. It’s exploitative, Google uses your personal profile to sell ads.
Cities and counties use drones to check homeowners and see if they’ve made property improvements and if so, they raise your real estate taxes. No, we never own our property, the county government owns it.
Madame Vice President Harris wants to send police into the homes of firearm owners to make sure firearms are properly secured. And, how many people have said, “But I have nothing to hide.” Really? A totally stupid and foolish statement. You’d allow the Stasi into your home to make sure you are properly storing your firearms like Madame VP Harris wants to do?
Everyone has something that is no one else’s business and that they want to keep private, but the government in all its bloated bureaucracy is afraid of the people. Thus, they need to know everything about you and what you own, think, care about and rely on.
One-Hundred Years of Music
They’ve warned us in the past what they’re going to do, through movies, television, articles and most importantly, through music.
Music has so many genres, from country and rock to blues and opera.
Up until the 1960s, music was about love, unrequited love, yearning, blessings, loss, marriage, patriotism, home and family.
Baby boomers surely remember these tunes…
1920 – Louis Armstrong – West End Blues – Jazz, blues and ragtime.
1925 – Gene Austin – Yes Sir, That’s My Baby
1930s – Big Bands – Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman
Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, Ethel Waters, Cole Porter
1938 – Kate Smith – Irving Berlin’s God Bless America
1939 – Judy Garland – Somewhere Over the Rainbow
1941 – The Ink Spots – I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire
Andrews Sisters, Lena Horne, Dinah Shore, Woody Guthrie, Peggy Lee
1954 – The Chordettes – Mr. Sandman, Lollipop
The Kingstone Trio, Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole
1960 – Chubby Checker – The Twist – Classic Rock, British Invasion. Surf Music
The Beatles – Hey Jude, I Want to Hold Your Hand
Vietnam Brought Change
Yes, the 30s also had Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger singing about labor struggles, but no decade matched the 60s for the number of songs calling for action and change.
The 60s became a decade of death starting with the assassination of Medger Evers in June 1963. Bob Dylan’s, “Only a Pawn in Their Game,” was released in 1964, with lyrics about Evers’ murder.
Arlo Guthrie, filling the footsteps of his dad with “Alice’s Restaurant.” Then, we saw the changes because of the Nam War, so it seemed. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy’s murder opened eyes and the distrust got rolling.
Here are the top ten culture changing songs of the 1960s, but the songs that stand out are those written after the assassination of JFK.
Sam Cooke’s, “A Change Gonna Come” in 1964, Barry McQuire’s “Eve of Destruction” in 1965, and Credence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son.” The decade of war was also the decade of the march for civil rights and full freedom for black Americans.
Pete Seeger’s “Bring ‘em Home” was released in 1966.
In 1968, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated.
“War,” produced and co-written, by Norman Jesse Whitfield in 1970 was first sung by the Temptations. Whitfield was a producer and songwriter who worked with The Temptations from 1966 to 1974, producing nearly all their great music.
And in 1971, “American Pie” by Don McLean.
Listen to the Music
America has never been in a more destructive and dissolute arena as we are today. Was it forecast? Of course. Through movies, television and music, we have been forewarned of what is coming, not just through the Lord’s Word, like John Rich’s latest, number, “Revelation,” but by current events shaping our future.
In 2003, Les and Loretta Fradkin wrote lyrics far more prescient of our future than many other artists. Les put those lyrics to fabulous music that warned of despair and drudgery, obsolescence, loss and a system crash.
The music is dynamite, the lyrics foretelling a frightening future.
Everything is Wrong, alludes to society and cultural decay, nothing is right, and everything is wrong. The people know, but they don’t react.
Promoting rot, a gordian knot,
Lawyers and accountants, and God knows what!
The Gordian Knot is a metaphor for a seemingly intractable problem which can only be solved by brute force. Collapse is coming, will anyone react before the whole thing blows?
Kamala/Walz or Trump/Vance? Communist slavery or Freedom and liberty?
Obsolete is an unemployment anthem. What used to be a living wage for a job well done has now been replaced by automation. The job is gone. With AI, more will disappear. What can you do? They lie to you and tell those coal miners they’ll find work in computers. Right…starvation and devastation are the end result.
Obsolete, their life felt so complete
And now they can’t compete, Obsolete
Like Climate Change and the Green New Deal? No more ranchers, no more farmers, all must be made obsolete to save the planet. Insects are plentiful, now they’re being raised for your latest palate delicacies.
“Rocky Mountain Micro Ranch is Colorado’s first and only edible insect farm. We raise crickets and mealworms to sell to restaurants and food manufacturers.”
I feed dried mealworms to my Bluebirds! We don’t put them on our dinner plates!
The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization has said that the world’s demand for protein from beef and even chicken is unsustainable. Protein from bugs is one possible solution.
Really? Six thousand years of animals and now all of a sudden, they’re unsustainable.
Rehearsals for Retirement is all about what we’re suffering through today with the overwhelming inflation, the open border, the illegal aliens flooding our country, rampant crime, and the inability to make the money stretch like it used to. Retirement? Are you kidding? The future is uncertain and if the Stalinists retain power, we’ll be lucky to even have a job, much less think about those “golden years.”
Wall Street swallowed my dreams,
That dot com stock was not what it seems
I’m in a sandwich generation where a buck is not a buck
All we’re eating is inflation, and my family’s out of luck
System Crash is not about the stock market alone, but about the entire country. We are 35 trillion in debt and adding another trillion every three months. It can’t last forever and there are no spending cuts from the House. Control is nonexistent. The U.S. Department of Treasury oversees the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Flooding our country with worthless paper that has no backing is reminiscent of the Weimer Republic where people on fixed incomes or pensioners found their incomes could not keep up with the massive inflation.
System Crash, they stole all our hope now we got no cash
System failed; large dreams died they were bought wholesale
Lost control, beat us to the punch found an old loophole
Someday if it’s not too late, gotta find a way to a system update
Harris just gave 157 million to Lebanon. Since 2022, we have given 175 billion to Ukraine, a war that was unnecessary and was avoidable. An agreement had been made between Putin and Zelensky to avoid war, but Biden sent Boris Johnson to Zelensky to back out of the agreement.
Last March, Biden freed up Iran’s access to $10 billion from their previously inaccessible bank accounts, right after they murdered three U.S. soldiers. President Obama chose appeasement and cash payoffs with Iran instead of strength and accountability.
On November 1, 2020, President Trump was clear when he said, “Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013 and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. … Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration.”
A former senior intelligence official who said that much of the $1.8 billion cash payoff from the Obama administration was used explicitly to fund terrorism as an additional “screw you” from the leaders of Iran — including Soleimani — to the United States. The rest of the money, he believes, ended up in the bank accounts of corrupt Iranian leaders and terrorists.
Now, Israel is fighting for the entire free world, and the American government is funding their terrorist enemies.
How is it that American tax dollars can be given away without the oversight of the House of Representatives? No one ever answers that question.
We’re spending billions upon billions, housing, feeding and educating upwards of 22 million illegal aliens who have broken the law and entered our country.
Conclusion
Are you listening to the music? A crash is imminent. General Michael T. Flynn has warned us as well. We cannot sustain the spending, the invasion, the inflation, the crime, and the diseases entering our country.
Movies, television and music. They tell us about the times we’re living through.
Twenty-two years ago, Les and Loretta Fradkin wrote the lyrics to the music, System Crash. That crash is on the horizon.
Obama has been in control for the last four years with a senile and debilitated Joe Biden. He will easily be in control for another four years, should Harris be selected via illegal alien and mail-in ballots.
Who would you rather have in charge if that System Crash happens? Businessman Donald J. Trump or Willie Brown’s former girlfriend?

Tel Hashomer Military base Israel.
Be’er Sheva and Southern Israel Division Military Command,
Head of SIBAT. International Defense Cooperation Directorate of the Israel Ministry of Defense,
The current occupants of the White House Joe Biden and Kamala Harris installed by a fraud election in 2020 are not your friend. Many of his appointments in the U.S. intelligence agencies are not your friends.
Do not be surprised if the U.S. intelligence agencies publish your Top Secret plans to defend yourself against the terrorist government of Iran. To prevent this don’t tell them.
Installed Marxist Joe Biden allows Iran to sell oil and make money which in turn will fund Hamas and Hezbollah. U.S. tax dollars are being sent to the Gaza strip which in turn paid no doubt for the $32,000 handbag carried by the wife of the now deceased terrorist Hamas leader Sinwar.
I served 20 years in the United States Navy and I had the honor of working with members of the IDF and my words to you are out of concern for your trust for this corrupt White House government.
DO NOT SHARE Intelligence with the U.S. Defence Department. The Secretary of Defense is a Marxist anti-Semitic racist.
Keep up the good work and do not stop until victory. Do not initiate any ceasefires until your objectives are met. You should be allowed to live in peace with your neighbors.
If you really want to stop Iran you should totally destroy the Abadan oil refinery, the Isfahan plant, the Bandar Abbas site and the Khark Island oil terminals. This will totally bankrupt Iran and stop the flow of cash to Lebanon and the Gaza strip.
You should restore the Gaza Strip as a part of Israel and allow resettlement of Jews on this land. This will solve the Gaza Strip problem. Just do it!
Then remove the current government of Iran and allow the Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi to return home from exile so he can establish a friendly government, rebuild ties with the United States and restore good peaceful relations with Israel.

NEWSRAEL first reported on this two weeks ago. The link to that article can be found at the bottom of this article. Israel cannot trust the White House.
The media has been filled with anonymous ‘leaks’ and ‘quotes’ from Biden-Harris administration officials regarding Israel’s attack plans on Iran. It was all too obvious that these leaks were deliberate and orchestrated.
The leaks now appear to have escalated to directly passing material on to Iran.
Senior American officials voiced serious concern on Saturday following the leak of two US intelligence documents allegedly outlining Israel’s preparations for a potential strike on Iran. These documents were published by a Telegram account linked to Iran.
While both the US Department of Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the leaked documents, they did not deny their authenticity.
The leak occurred on Friday when the Middle East Spectator Telegram channel claimed it had received documents about Israel’s strike preparations from a source within the US intelligence community.
Is that an impossible scenario?
Rob Malley, Biden’s Iran envoy, is under FBI investigation for mishandling classified documents. Much of the State Department covered for him, lying to Congress and foreign officials.
And then there’s Ariane Tabatabai, the Chief of Staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations, an Iranian immigrant who was collaborating with the Iranian Foreign Ministry back in 2014 and ran her congressional testimony past Iran.
Ariane Tabatabai was already the subject of extensive scrutiny and according to Jennifer Van Laar of RedState, there’s a source saying that the leak came out of the same office.
But those are just the obvious red flags with links to Iran. There’s a whole army of radicals, Islamists and anti-Israel activists now deeply embedded in the NSC, the intelligence community, the Department of Defense and just about everywhere else.
And it’s entirely plausible that the leak was deliberate because it follows on the heels of a raft of deliberate leaks.
The important part here is really twofold.
First, this information was obtained by spying on Israel.
The documents included an alleged report from the US Department of Defense’s visual intelligence agency, which had been circulated within the US intelligence community three days earlier. The report detailed alleged recent actions at Israel Air Force (IAF) bases, including the movement of advanced munitions believed to be intended for a strike on Iran. The report also noted that intelligence obtained through wiretaps indicated that the IAF conducted an exercise this week involving fighter jets and drones as part of its strike preparations.
Second, Israel has refused to notify the Biden-Harris admin of its attack plans on Hezbollah, including the pager bombings and assassination of Nasrallah, until the operations were underway, and even then without specific details.
The Israelis were providing information about the Iran attack. But the Biden-Harris admin clearly didn’t trust it. Instead, it went ahead and leaked the results of its spying to Iran.
There were multiple ways to do that.
Standard tradecraft is if you want to leak information, you allow an agent inside whom you can leak to. It’s terrible treasonous behavior, but it’s also not new.
Why would a former Iranian associate be inside the Pentagon? That’s one potential answer to that question.
What that means is that whoever leaked it, was kept there for that purpose providing plausible deniability for the entire system that kept them there.
The Obama administration leaked Israel’s attack plans on Iran to the media. The Biden-Harris admin has done even better by finding a way to directly leak them to Iran.

The Alliance for Global Justice (AGJ), which serves as the fiscal sponsor for a group the U.S. government recently determined is an arm of a Palestinian terrorist organization, has received nearly $20 million from liberal American philanthropies since 2020.
Left-of-center nonprofits like the Soros family’s Open Society Foundations and charities with ties to the Democratic Party have poured millions into AGJ in recent years, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of tax documents. Samidoun, which AGJ fiscally sponsors, took charitable contributions from donors and routed them to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, the Treasury Department announced on Tuesday.
Fiscal sponsorship is an arrangement that allows an established nonprofit, such as AGJ, to process tax-deductible donations for another group that has not registered as a charity with the Internal Revenue Service, according to the American Bar Association. Under the most common form of fiscal sponsorship agreement, the sponsor and the organization being sponsored are considered to be the same legal entity, with the sponsor being responsible for conducting oversight on its projects.
Donations from left-of-center charities to AGJ fell into roughly three categories. Some nonprofits gave AGJ funds to support its general operations, many provided donations to support its work in a given issue area and others earmarked their contribution for a specific fiscally sponsored group housed by it. In any case, AGJ collects an 8% cut of all donations intended for its various projects.
A handful of the contributions to AGJ suggest that the cash may have gone directly to Samidoun. The Soros-funded Detention Watch Network, for instance, donated roughly $127,000 to the organization to fund its “anti-detention work,” tax documents show.
Samidoun bills itself as “working to build solidarity with Palestinian prisoners in their struggle for freedom,” which is a form of “anti-detention work.”
Canada went a step further than the United States and designated Samidoun as a terrorist organization. AGJ listed Samidoun on its now-deleted page of projects as of at least late 2023, according to an archive of the organization’s website.
Many of the organizations that financially supported AGJ, beyond having a left-of-center ideological bent, also have ties to major players in the Democratic Party.
Windward Fund and New Venture Fund, two arms of the Democratic-aligned dark money network managed by the consulting firm Arabella Advisors, gave roughly $1.5 million to AGJ for non-specific programs between 2020 and 2022, tax disclosures show. The Tides Center, a component of one of the largest liberal nonprofit networks by revenue, gave about $1.4 million to AGJ between 2020 and 2022. About half of Tides’ contributions to AGJ went to non-descript “human rights” projects with the remainder earmarked for the Louisville Community Bail Fund.
“As we have said before, we condemn terrorism and violence against civilians in all forms and do not support any projects or provide any grants to organizations that fund terrorism,” a New Venture Fund spokesperson told the DCNF. “While our previous grants to Alliance for Global Justice supported domestic energy work specifically, New Venture Fund has discontinued all grantmaking to any projects hosted by Alliance for Global Justice.”
Windward Fund provided a similar statement, saying that it “does not support terrorism in any form and strongly denounces any violence against civilians” and that it “no longer provides grants for organizations that are sponsored by the Alliance for Global Justice. ”
ActBlue Charities, a charitable donation processor maintained by the company behind the largest Democratic contribution processing platform, directed roughly $56,000 to AGJ in 2021, tax documents show. The Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, the charitable arm of the famously pro-Democratic ice cream brand, donated $55,000 to AGJ in 2022 for “general support.”
Prior to the Treasury Department flagging it as a terrorist front group, Samidoun had been scrutinized for its ties to the PFLP by watchdog groups and the Israeli government. The PFLP has ordered suicide bombings, hijacked planes and shot rockets at civilians, according to the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The PFLP “uses Samidoun to maintain fundraising operations in both Europe and North America,” the Treasury Department announced Tuesday. Watchdogs had previously reported that multiple Samidoun leaders maintained ties with the PFLP and one of the organization’s cofounders called Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel “a brave and heroic operation.”
Charities linked to major Democratic donors George Krupp and Michael Moritz also funded AGJ, tax documents reveal. The Crankstart and Krupp Family foundations, the family foundations of Moritz and Krupp respectively, donated a combined total of over $200,000 to AGJ between 2020 and 2022. The Loud Hound Foundation, where Moritz serves as secretary and treasurer, donated an additional $25,000 to AGJ in 2020.
Open Society Foundations, founded by billionaire philanthropist George Soros and now led by Alex Soros, gave AGJ $250,000 in 2020 to help it “catalyze Black communities into the global movement for climate justice,” grant records show. Both George Soros and his son Alex Soros are major contributors to Democratic political committees, according to campaign finance records. Open Society Foundations gave a quarter million to the Al-Haq Human Rights Organization, an Israeli-designated terrorist group, in 2023.
“There is strict U.S. anti-terrorist legislation that determines which organizations a foundation like OSF can fund,” an Open Society Foundations spokesperson told the DCNF. “We devote a lot of effort to ensuring full compliance. None of our partners have ever been designated under U.S. law as supporting terrorism.”
The spokesperson clarified that its payments to AGJ were “completely unrelated to Israel and Palestine.”
Samidoun’s Seattle chapter, in conjunction with other pro-Palestinian activists, blockaded a key American port in Tacoma, Washington in November 2023 in an attempt to stop aid from reaching Israel.
At least one of the organizations funding AGJ even has financial links to the Biden-Harris administration. Social And Environmental Entrepreneurs, which gave $335,000 to AGJ for a “collaboration grant” in 2022, received $50 million from the Environmental Protection Agency in 2023 to “fund environmental justice projects.”
“Organizations like Samidoun masquerade as charitable actors that claim to provide humanitarian support to those in need, yet in reality divert funds for much-needed assistance to support terrorist groups,” Acting Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Bradley T. Smith said. “The United States, together with Canada and our like-minded partners, will continue to disrupt those who seek to finance the PFLP, Hamas, and other terrorist organizations.”
As a result of Tuesday’s sanctions, all transactions between U.S. persons and Samidoun are prohibited.
Samidoun, AGJ, Detention Watch Network, Windward Fund, Arabella Advisors, ActBlue, the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, the Tides Center, the Crankstart Foundation and the Krupp Family Foundation did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

Israel’s elimination of top Hamas terrorist was a result of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defiance of the Biden administration’s efforts to end the Gaza war, block Israel from entering Rafah, experts say.
The Biden administration last week congratulated Israel and the IDF on the killing of Yahya Sinwar – chief of the Hamas politburo, leader of Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip, and architect of the October 7th invasion – lauding his elimination as “relief” and the removal of “an insurmountable obstacle” to ceasefire talks.
A number Middle East and counter-terrorism experts, however, say Sinwar’s elimination would not have been possible had Israel followed calls by the Biden administration to end the war against Hamas or caved to pressure from the White House not to enter the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where Sinwar was ultimately shot and killed.
Since the beginning of 2024, the Biden administration has urged Israel to end its war in the Gaza Strip and reach a permanent ceasefire with Hamas.
At the same time, the White house repeatedly warned Israel not to enter Rafah, saying a large-scale operation in the city, which prior to the operation housed roughly half of Gaza’s population – most of them internally displaced refugees – would inevitably result in massive civilian casualties.
“We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake,” Harris told ABC News in March.” Let me tell you something. I have studied the maps. There’s nowhere for those folks to go.”
Even after IDF forces launched the Rafah offensive on May 6th, seizing control over the border crossings with Egypt, the White house persisted in pressuring Israel not to advance into the city of Rafah itself.
“The president doesn’t want to see operations in Rafah that put at greater risk the more than a million people that are seeking refuge there,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby said on May 6th, after Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone, urging him not to expand the ground operation into Rafah proper.
Two days later, Biden warned that he would bar the transfer of heavy aerial ordinance to Israel if the IDF entered the city of Rafah.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah – they haven’t gone in Rafah yet – if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden told CNN.
American-Israeli journalist Caroline Glick, who ran for Knesset with Naftali Bennett in 2019, excoriated Kamala Harris over her March comments, tweeting: “Sinwar was killed in Rafah – a mile from the Egyptian border. Kamala threatened Israel with sanctions if we went in. Oh, and she studied the maps.”
Lt. Col. (Res.) Yoni Chetboun, a former Israeli lawmaker who served as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and former officer in the IDF’s elite Egoz counter-terror unit, told Fox News that had Israel adhered to the Biden administration’s demands, Sinwar would not have been eliminated.
“Had Prime Minister Netanyahu listened to Biden and Harris and not entered Rafah, we may have never reached Sinwar. The people of America and Israel overwhelmingly supported our entry into Rafah and want to see Hamas committed to the annals of history. Now it’s time to finish Hamas and bring home the hostages.”
Counter-terrorism expert and Northwestern University professor Max Abrahms echoed Chetboun’s comments.
“Had Netanyahu heeded that advice, Sinwar would be alive,” Abrahms told Fox News. “Israel is safer for ignoring this White House, an important lesson as Netanyahu weighs military options against Iran.”
When asked last Thursday whether the administration’s calls not to enter Rafah had been mistaken in light of Sinwar’s elimination, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller refused to walk back the administration’s admonitions.
“No, I will say that we always made clear that we supported Israel conducting counterterrorism operations to target the leaders of Hamas and to target Hamas militants. And not only did we make clear we supported it, but we provided active intelligence support for those operations. And I think I’ll leave it at that.”

‘I know what you’re speaking of’ – Vice President Kamala Harris legitimizes anti-Israel protesters accusations of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Vice President Kamala Harris justified accusations posed by an anti-Israel protester who crashed a campaign event Thursday, after the protester claimed Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Harris was joined by billionaire businessman and television personality Mark Cuban in a campaign stop at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Thursday, as the vice president’s campaign works to bolster support in the battleground state where former President Donald Trump currently holds a 0.2% lead in the RealClearPolitics average of polls.
During a gathering with students, an anti-Israel activist wearing a keffiyeh challenged Harris over the Biden administration’s handling of the war in Gaza, claiming that the U.S. is enabling Israeli “genocide” of Gazans.
After the protester accused Israel of genocide, Harris neither affirmed nor denied his claims, but did appear to justify his accusations, saying that she knows “what you’re speaking of,” while reiterating the administration’s call for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas terror organization.
“I know what you’re speaking of,” said Harris. “I want a cease-fire. I want the hostage deal done. I want the war to end.”
The heckler interrupted Harris’ response, repeating his claims of genocide in Gaza.
“But what about the genocide? What about the genocide though?”
Harris attempted to silence the protester, saying: “I respect your right to speak, but I’m speaking right now.”
The protester continued to shout at the vice president as security guards removed him from the gathering.
“How about the billions of dollars to Israel?” the protester shouted. “What about the 19,000 children dead, and you won’t call it a genocide?”
After the protester was removed, Harris continued to justify his claims, saying “it’s real.”
“Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real,” said Harris.
“That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real, and I respect his voice.”
“The vice president has never previously suggested that Israel’s defensive war in Gaza amounts to a genocide of Palestinian people,” per the New York Post.
“Kamala Harris caters to the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas lunatics. Absolutely shameful,” wrote Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). “She’s dangerously unprepared to be president.”
“It’s ‘real’ that Israel is committing genocide? No. That’s a lie, and people like Kamala who repeat it are liars,” wrote Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.).
“Let’s be clear: it is not ‘real’ that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It’s a flat-out lie,” the Republican Jewish Coalition wrote. “Kamala Harris’s spreading of outrageous anti-Israel lies puts Jewish lives at risk. Absolutely shameful.”
Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, wrote that “it’s not real. It’s a blood libel, and Harris once again shows everyone with half a brain where she really stands.”

Israel has officially confirmed that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is dead, killed in a chance encounter Wednesday with infantry and armored units of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
In a joint statement Thursday evening local time, titled “Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization who was responsible for planning and executing the October 7th Massacre, has been eliminated,” the IDF and Israel Security Agency (ISA) declared:
The IDF and ISA confirm that after a year-long pursuit, yesterday (Wednesday), October 16, 2024, IDF soldiers from the Southern Command eliminated Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization, in an operation in the southern Gaza Strip. Yahya Sinwar planned and executed the October 7th Massacre, promoted his murderous ideology both before and during the war, and was responsible for the murder and abduction of many Israelis.
Yahya Sinwar was eliminated after hiding for the past year behind the civilian population of Gaza, both above and below ground in Hamas tunnels in the Gaza Strip. The dozens of operations carried out by the IDF and the ISA over the last year, and in recent weeks in the area where he was eliminated, restricted Yahya Sinwar’s operational movement as he was pursued by the forces and led to his elimination.
In recent weeks, IDF and ISA forces, under the command of the Southern Command, have been operating in the southern Gaza Strip, following IDF and ISA intelligence that indicated the suspected locations of senior members of Hamas. IDF soldiers of the 828th Brigade (Bislach) operating in the area identified and eliminated three terrorists. After completing the process of identifying the body, it can be confirmed that Yahya Sinwar was eliminated.
The IDF added on X (formerly Twitter):
As Breitbart News reported, the IDF suspected that Sinwar may have been inadvertently killed after soldiers directed tank fire at a building in which three terrorists had been spotted. Afterwards, infantry soldiers discovered, to their surprise, a body that resembled Sinwar.
The body was taken to Israel for further examination, including dental, DNA, and fingerprint verification. It is unclear how many of these checks were completed before Israeli officials concluded that the dead body was indeed Sinwar’s.
According to Israel’s Army Radio, Sinwar was found with passports on his body, as well as a quantity of cash. He was apparently trying to flee Gaza to Egypt, leaving Hamas and the Palestinian people behind as he attempted to escape.

Sinwar was once thought to have surrounded himself with hostages to prevent Israel from killing him in an airstrike. On Thursday it was revealed that those hostages were the ones executed in a tunnel in late August, including U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, as Israeli soldiers closed in. Sinwar had evidently been on the run ever since. His body was found next to those of senior Hamas commanders known to be close to him.
The Biden-Harris administration had, just days earlier, threatened Israel with an arms embargo unless it did more to “surge” aid into Gaza and trimmed its military operations there. Harris had also pushed for a ceasefire earlier in the war, even before the release of hostages had been achieved. Other nations, such as France, had called for an arms embargo to stop the war.
Sinwar was killed near the Philadelphi corridor in southern Gaza, on the Gaza-Egypt border, an area from which the Biden-Harris administration had been urging Israel to withdraw for a ceasefire deal.
A passport belonging to a U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) teacher was found on the body of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by Israeli ground forces in the Gaza city of Rafah on Thursday.
According to Nurit Yohanan, Palestinian affairs correspondent for Israeli public radio’s KAN News, the passport carried by Sinwar belongs to a UNRWA teacher and Rafah native named Hani Zourob who left for Egypt in April.
It was not immediately clear if the passport carried by Sinwar was a copy or a fake document.
Early reports in the chaotic moments after Sinwar’s death suggested the passport was carried by one of his bodyguards, and the bodyguard actually was Hani Zourob.
Yohana said she contacted Zourob and determined he is alive and well in Egypt. Sinwar’s bodyguards are neither alive nor well.

On October 7, Hamas declared war on Israel. On October 8, their supporters declared war on America.
Canary Mission has been fighting antisemitism for a decade. During this time, one constant remains: where there is antisemitism, there is also a deep-seated hatred of America and the West.
Organizations such as Within Our Lifetime (WOL), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, Samidoun and many others view the destruction of the State of Israel as the gateway to achieving the destruction of America.
Over the past year, these organizations have revealed their disturbing agenda to destroy America. Their tactics include violence against law enforcement, businesses, and civilians, along with acts of vandalism and efforts to disrupt key infrastructure like bridges, highways, and airports. They promote extremism by publicly displaying Hamas and Hezbollah flags while burning U.S. and Israeli flags.
This groundbreaking report primarily has two functions:
First, it highlights the strategies and tactics outlined at the “People’s Conference for Palestine,” held in Detroit, Michigan, May 24-26, 2024, where over 100 organizations and 3,000 participants gathered to make concrete plans for anti-American action.
Second, it names key players behind the conference and the disruption that has plagued universities and public spaces over the past year.
The Palestinian-American movement orchestrating the noisy protests, violent rallies and destructive occupations of college campuses has promised to “escalate”. It seeks to bring the United States to its knees. As they say, “Empire [USA] must fall.”
These threats to the U.S. can no longer be ignored by law enforcement, government officials and concerned citizens.

On May 24-26, 2024, the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan convened more than 3,000 participants from across the U.S., Europe, the West Bank and Gaza, raising more than $165,000 in attendance fees to be forwarded to Gaza.
The conference speakers reflected upon the strategies that the Palestinian movement has refined over decades, while also providing a platform to analyze progress made in the last year and discuss the next steps for the movement.
The conference was open about its agenda: to coordinate a mass movement to cause the collapse of America from within. The welcome message on its website reads: “Our goal for this conference is to provide a space to evaluate, strategize, and prepare for the requirements of the next phase of our struggle.”
“All backers of Zionism, Israel, and US imperialism have been put on notice.”
Fifteen organizations composed the steering committee of the Conference: The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), The US Palestinian Community Network, The People’s Forum, Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Palestinian Feminist Collective, Answer Coalition, Arab Resource and Organizing Center, International Jewish anti-Zionist Network, Writers Against the War on Gaza, Healthcare Workers for Palestine, Palestine Popular University, Palestinian American Women’s Association, and The National Alliance against Racist and Political Repression.
The conference featured PFLP operative Wissam Rafeedie as a speaker. He participated remotely because he was denied a visa to the U.S.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) made an appearance at the conference, using her speech to promote civil disobedience and spread lies and propaganda about the Israeli government. Tlaib encouraged the conference attendees and the anti-Israel movement as a whole in her speech, proclaiming: “I don’t need to tell you that you’re on the right side. I don’t need to, but I’ll be damned if I wait 10 years before they apologize to all of you for doing what was right at this moment.”
Tlaib concluded by saying, “We have to march. We have to boycott. We have to do civil disobedience … We’re gonna march and we’re gonna move Congress and we’re gonna move the White House because they have no other option. We’re not going anywhere. Thank you so much.”

Rashida Tlaib blamed Israel for Hamas war crimes against Israeli civilians, including mass murder, rape of women, beheadings of babies and kidnappings of the elderly, carried out on October 7, 2023. In the following days, Tlaib spread hatred of Israel after it declared war against Hamas.
Jeremy Corbyn, a former British member of parliament and leader of the Labour party, joined the conference via a pre-recorded video welcoming conference attendees.
The keynote speaker at the conference was the widow of deceased terrorist Walid Daqqa. Daqqa, a Palestinian-Israeli citizen died of terminal cancer in his 38th year of incarceration in an Israeli prison. He was convicted for his commanding in the PFLP’s kidnap, torture, disfigurement, castration and murder of a 19-year-old Israeli soldier Moshe Tamam in 1984.
Conference speakers proudly identified with Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, urged attendees to take revolutionary action in order to cause chaos within U.S. political structures and plotted strategies for the violent destruction of the State of Israel.
Mohammed Nabulsi
Mohammed Nabulsi, an organizer with PYM and one of the main conference organizers, introduced the conference as follows:
“…the People’s Conference for Palestine provides us an important opportunity for all of us to reflect on the work that we’ve done so far and so that we may craft a path forward that truly brings this Zionist state and its military and its imperialist backers to their knees.”
Nabulsi further defined the goal of the conference in his opening keynote speech:

Mohammed Hisam Nabulsi is an anti-Israel activist who called for chaos in American cities and glorified terrorism in 2024. He celebrated intifada violence, honored terrorists, disrupted campus events and spread hatred of Israel.
“…serve as an opportunity for us as a movement to develop shared politics, a politics that centers the condition of our people on the ground, our people’s right to resist the relationship between U.S. imperialism and Zionism, the various sectors of our movement and the role of popular education and service of liberation.
“This conference will allow us to reflect on our strengths and weaknesses, on our achievements and failures. It will allow us to develop greater political cohesion and understanding across the movement. It will allow us to chart a path forward of resistance and struggle within the belly of the beast.
“This conference is an opportunity for us to consolidate and concretize what our resistance will look like, to develop shared vision and understanding of what our role must be.”
Speakers emphasized the successes of the student and activist-led movement across the U.S. and the world since October 7 and the need to plan the next stage.
Taher Herzallah
Taher Herzallah, associate director of outreach & grassroots organizing for AMP was a main organizer and key speaker at the conference.
He explained, “For me, the most important thing is the longevity and the maintenance and the growth of our powerful movement. And the things that threaten those are numerous.”
Herzallah added: “We are an integral part of the Palestinian liberation struggle and the people who came to North America, the Palestinians who came to the United States, understood their role immediately upon arrival.”
He continued, “...I want to make it clear that the Palestinian diaspora in North America has committed its martyrs for this cause.”
Herzallah further explained, “We must expect Zionists to be Zionists. We must expect Zionists and the U.S. government to intensify their attacks on all of us. This is a given. The world has changed in ways that does not suit them. And they are going crazy realizing that they’ve spent all these years and billions of dollars to prop up this project of theirs. And they’re still losing.
They’re losing a public narrative battle.
“They’re losing their ability to control us. And this means that now the gloves are off and quite frankly anything is possible. I caution you of the days to come. Because they will not be easy. There are people among us today who might not be with us next year at this conference. And this is a reality. Because the liberation struggle requires sacrifice. And I know everyone here is prepared to make that sacrifice.”
Anti-Zionism to Anti-Americanism
The movement views anti-Zionism as a gateway to their broader anti-American ideology, with the destruction of Israel viewed as the first step in dismantling Western hegemony. It perceives no redeeming value in America, advocating instead for its complete destruction rather than reform. Organized and highly motivated, the movement is against Western values and works systematically to undermine them.
Speakers at the People’s Conference for Palestine frequently emphasized that their ultimate goal is not only the defeat of Zionism but also the dismantling of Western power structures.
The following quotes demonstrate the movement’s goal of dismantling Western hegemony, starting with Israel and ending with the U.S.:
“We know that Zionism has killed us, has displaced us, has destroyed our lives in Palestine. And the long tentacles of Zionism have always reached deep into the American heartland. Like no other place in the world. Zionism has penetrated the depths of American society, economics and politics for decades.” (see video)
“In North America on Turtle Island, the Palestinian people who were forced into diaspora, even prior to the advent of the State of Israel, have been a thorn in the side of the Zionist project and American imperialism for quite some time.” (see video)
Yara Shoufani, PhD student at York University and an organizer with PYM
“And, of course, we know that the United States is also trying to destroy Palestinian revolution, not only in Palestine but also here. We have seen police repression, we have seen surveillance, I mean, we had visas just for a conference, this conference, we had visas denied for speakers. And so we know that U.S. Empire is trying to actively intervene against our organizations, against our movements. And this attempt to crush Palestinian revolution here actually should tell us just how powerful we are, and just how much we scare them, because the Palestinian revolution is a gateway to struggle, and it radicalizes us and shows us clearly who our enemies are.We have comrades in the movement, who a year ago may have illusions about reforming U.S. Empire and today through the Palestinian revolution, see clearly that there is no reforming the U.S. empire.” (see video)
Raja Abdelhaq, Muslim Palestinian political activist, community organizer and researcher
“… Israel is the first line of resistance, the first line of defense, for the American empire.” (see video)
Brian Becker, national director of the ANSWER Coalition
“… our goal is transformation, not just on Palestine, but to eliminate a system of endless war, a system of colonialism, a system of imperialism and to create a new world.” (see video)
Manolo de los Santos, founder of the People’s Forum, researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research
“We know more than ever that the Palestinian movement in the United States is serving as an anchor for our larger mass anti-imperialist movements. (see video)
“I believe that the strategy, though it hasn’t been articulated, or even coherent in this way, was to wage a battle on every front, agitating and implicating the broader institutional life within the West.” (see video)
Ghassan Abu-Sittah, Palestinian-British doctor (banned from entering EU countries), who spoke at the conference via video conference because he was refused a U.S. entry visa.
“The genocidal project seems to be like an iceberg, where Israel is the most visible tip of the iceberg. But the rest of the genocidal iceberg is made out of these countries that constitute the axis of genocide, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Australia.” (see video)
Anti-American Rhetoric of the Movement
The anti-Israel movement calls the United States “Empire,” “the beast” or “the enemy” in its strategic discussions. Their rhetoric often incorporates terms like “colonial,” “imperial” and “capitalist,” casting America as a symbol of global oppression and positioning their cause as part of a broader anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist struggle.
The following represent key quotes from the conference that highlight anti-American rhetoric:
Nadya Tannous “We are here because we’ve been moved to action. And this panel y’all is talking about what is next. To strike at the heart of Empire.” (see video)
Ibtihal Malley, graduate student and organizer with PYM“We have a commitment to strengthening ourselves as organizers, and strengthening our movement, especially right here in the belly of the beast.” (see video)
Rama (Ali) Kased, community organizer, writer and assistant professor of race and resistance studies at San Francisco State University“As trained organizers, activists, agents for Palestinian liberation, this panel will allow us to ask the questions about our time, place and conditions here in North America, in the U.S., the belly of the beast, the heart of Empire.” (see video)
Yara Shoufani “This moment they are shaking. Our organizing can bring imperialism into crisis and our organizing is bringing imperialism into crisis.” (see video)
Hana Masri, researcher, educator and organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement“Because we are here in the belly of the insatiable imperial beast, we know that we have a very particular role to play in the struggle for Palestinian liberation, and for all people’s freedom from the cruelty of the colonialist capitalist world order that our government is so directly responsible for.” (see video)
Manolo de los Santos “We are here to tell them, to tell our enemies, that we are organizing our anger, that we are building out of this movement, out of this moment, out of this conference, a real mass anti-imperialist movement in the belly of the beast.” (see video)
Celine Qussiny, organizer with PYM, former leader of SJP University of California, Irvine“We will be hitting Empire where it hurts most, so we invite you all to join us in this campaign.” (see video)“We know that the power of the people can and will bring Empire to its knees.” (see video)
Open Advocacy for the Destruction of the West
The anti-Israel movement has long glorified violence and terrorism as rightful and necessary elements of their “resistance,” often expressed through the chants popularized by the extremist anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime (WOL), which advocates “Palestinian resistance and liberation By Any Means Necessary.”
“Resistance and liberation” is not limited to Israel; it extends to the West as a whole, primarily targeting the United States. The rhetoric emphasizes the destruction of both America and Israel as interconnected goals, pursued “by any means necessary,” including outright violence.
This approach parallels the Iranian calls of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America,” where the destruction of both entities is seen as inherently linked, with these slogans consistently chanted in unison to symbolize their shared ideological objective.
Throughout the People’s Conference for Palestine, speakers expressed this ideology explicitly:
Layan Fuleihan, education director of The People’s Forum, editor of 1804 Books in New York City“There can be no mistake that US imperialism and Zionism represent a project of death. And the people, those of us in this room, the mass movement for Palestine, the billions across the globe, who share this vision, we represent a project of victory.” (see video)
Taher Herzallah “In the United States, Palestinians and our allies have been fighting a difficult and deadly war against Zionism for more than a century as well.” (see video)
Raja Abdelhaq “What was really essential in this conversation today is the 1979 Islamic revolution and Iran. It not only put an end to American and Western hegemony in Iran, at large, but also gave a kind of renewed spirit to a revolution against Western hegemony from an Islamic perspective…“Since then, I think it was made clear that Iran as a country, as a state, as a model of revolution against Western hegemony…created an amazing or very close relationship with the Palestinian leadership, specifically at that time with Yasser Arafat as the de facto leader of the Palestinian struggle, and later with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP and other Palestinian factions.” (see video)
Strategies and Tactics of the Movement
The People’s Conference for Palestine featured numerous sessions outlining the various tactics used by the movement. One of the key sessions, titled “Palestine and Internationalism,” featured Manolo De Los Santos, who emphasized the need for a multi-faceted approach to bringing “down this empire [the United States]”:
“Our struggle for liberation is not going to be won in one battle. It’s not in one moment, it’s not in one day, it’s not in one confrontation, and not with one tactic. Our liberation will be won with the accumulation of all efforts of all struggles, the bringing together of the fight to end the U.S. blockade on Cuba and Venezuela.
“We have to bring down this empire with 1 million cuts. And those 1 million cuts have to come from every sector of struggle in this room.” (see video)
Three-Pronged Strategy
The Palestinian movement worldwide has employed and adopted a multi-faceted strategy originally used by the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.
The strategy involves:
Garnering International Support
Mass Mobilization
Armed Struggle
The pro-Palestinian movement in America has implemented these tactics in the form of mass rallies, open support for “resistance” (a euphemism for terrorism), shutdowns of critical infrastructure, campus protests, and targeting of politicians—all with the aim of weakening the United States from within.
During the “Palestine and Internationalism” session, Mandla Radebe, associate professor at the University of Johannesburg and chair of the South African Communist Party in the Gauteng province, discussed these three pillars. Though intended originally for anti-apartheid efforts, Radebe indicated that the Palestinian movement is applying the same tactics—albeit with the objective of far more destructive purposes.
“It is precisely the reason why we believe that international solidarity as one of the pillars of the struggle that helped us to defeat apartheid in South Africa is one of the critical things that we have to help the people of Palestine with. Of course, our struggle stood on three legs.
“In particular, it was the international solidarity, it was the mass mobilization inside the country, but most importantly, it was the armed struggle, because if the enemy refuses to die, it must be killed.”
This model is being actively applied to further destabilize Israel and its Western allies.
International Support
On the surface, gaining sympathy and support for an internationally designated terror organization—one that recently committed the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, committed brutal war crimes, murdered mothers, fathers, elderly, children and babies in cold blood, and took hundreds of Israeli and foreign nationals hostage—might seem like a nearly impossible task.
Yet, the movement has found ways to influence the narrative. Both globally, and in America, it has been enormously successful.
Anti-Israel activists understand their significant role in warping public perception of the conflict and thereby apply international pressure on Israel. An essential aspect of this support has been driving a wedge between Israel and its Western allies, particularly the United States.
Nadya Tannous, a PYM organizer and moderator of the “Palestine and Internationalism” session at The People’s Conference for Palestine, opened with the following remarks:
“We opened this conference three days ago with a plenary on Zionism and imperialism, y’all remember that? And we opened with an analytical grounding, to identify what we’re up against, and we never forgot. But the question as we close is, what do we do with this?
“And the answer is internationalism, because together we fight our enemies. We can strengthen the movement that breaks imperialist alliances, like the one between the US and Israel, and together we can win this.”
Another significant voice at the conference was Mustafa Barghouti, who spoke during a session titled “The War on Palestine.” Barghouti – the secretary-general and co-founder of the Palestinian National Initiative, Member of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), and president of the Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees – was denied a visa to the U.S.
Barghouti detailed the crucial role for the Palestinian diaspora, highlighting three key “arenas” of focus:
“And there are three arenas which I feel are very important for our diaspora. The first one is to continue to bring to everybody in the world the true narrative about the reality of Palestine, and the true narrative about the heroism and the struggle of the Palestinian people.
“Second, it’s to do everything that one can do to influence the people with media, with social activities and especially to influence the younger generation.
“And third, to transfer this wonderful and amazing energy that we have seen in different universities, that we have seen in the streets of different cities in the United States, to transform all of that into a powerful boycott, divestment, sanctions movement against the Israeli establishment in every possible way. BDS is the way, boycott divestment sanctions is the way to translate solidarity into a material effect that affects Israel. And it is a movement that is growing worldwide now everywhere in the world, in Europe, in Asia, and Latin America, and North America, everywhere.”
Targeting Political Structures
A key aspect of leveraging international support involves targeting political structures in the West, particularly the American ruling class and the Democratic Party. The movement seeks to generate social and political crises that weaken U.S. policy and support for Israel. Speakers at the conference emphasized these tactics as instrumental in challenging the Biden-Harris administration and creating divisions within the political establishment.
Mohammad Nabulsi:
“I believe our fundamental role is to generate political and social crisis within the American ruling class… What does it mean to generate crisis for the ruling class of this country? It means to make this continued prosecution of this war politically, socially and economically untenable.“…It means to create further divisions, ruptures, conflicts, problems for and amongst the Western ruling class, the Biden administration, the Democratic Party and the base of the Democratic Party. In my opinion, this is the main constellation of actors, organizations, and forces that we have actually targeted. I believe that most, if not all of the tactics utilized can be understood through this framework as creating and generating crisis.” (see video)“In my opinion, what we’ve seen these last eight months, is that all of the strategies pursued have benefited us…I’m not big on electoralism, I’m not big on…the Democratic Party…But I’ve also now understood that the role of the Uncommitted Votes movement…” (see video)
Layan Fuleihan:
“Just a month ago, this movement, this very same movement that’s brought us all in the room together, created such a political crisis for Biden at the White House that he actually went in public, and said that the invasion of Rafah would actually be his red line. And that he would consider stopping the shipments of weapons to the State of Israel.” (see video)
Intersectional and Strategic Alliances
Establishing intersectional and strategic alliances with a wide array of groups, including minority groups, Marxist/Leninists, feminists, LGBTQ organizations and Indigenous advocacy groups, is a key component of gaining international support.
These alliances create the facade of a united front against Western and Zionist influence while positioning the Palestinian struggle as part of a broader global resistance against oppression and imperialism. The movement emphasizes that solidarity across different struggles amplifies their collective strength, enabling them to challenge powerful state structures, particularly the United States and Israel.
Ibtihal Malley, a PYM organizer and former member of SJP and Columbia University Apartheid Divest, spoke about the importance of solidarity in maintaining strength against “the U.S. empire.”
“I think it’s important that we push back against this narrative that our movement is fragmented and recognize that as the more unified we are, the stronger our movement is, and the bigger threat that we present to the US empire and our complicit institutions.”
Ghaied Hijaz, a student at Birzeit University in Ramallah, emphasized how crucial these alliances are:
“As Palestinians and allies we need to continue organizing and fighting on every front—in the campuses, in the streets, and on the battlegrounds of academia, law, media, and every other front. The continuation, accumulation, and diversity of the confrontations are the only way to pressure the United States and the Israeli occupation to halt this extermination.
“Either we fight the battle together as united free people or we are slaughtered individually under the fangs of the oppressive system of tyranny and injustice.”
This concept of solidarity was echoed by Wisam Rafeedie in Session 8: “How Do Movements Achieve Transformation.” Rafeedie highlighted how alliances can be formed across struggles based on shared experiences of oppression:
“As for the racially discriminatory Zionist policy, a common denominator can be achieved with all those who are and still part of the struggle against racial discrimination against Black people…a common denominator can also be achieved with the Indigenous populations of the US, this land, who were subjected to the most horrific genocide in history.
“…a common denominator can also be reflected with the poor migrants of Latin America, which is also a class-based struggle because they suffer from a policy of impoverishment and class exploitation by the capitalist class.”
Dominico Vega, secretary-general of Anakbayan USA, spoke at the conference during the Palestine and Internationalism session, highlighting how the Palestinian struggle serves as a model and a source of inspiration for other movements:
“Even us being invited here as Anakbayan USA, has been such a great privilege to be able to hear the lessons that the Palestinian movement for liberation has learned in the past eight months. It has been a great boon to us, and something that we’ll definitely have to discuss as a movement, or as ourselves as Filipinos, to see how we can continue to wage joint struggle against US imperialism.”
Vega provided a closing statement during the same session that reinforced the significance of international solidarity as a core tactic:
“Let’s remember that one of the most powerful tools that we have is international solidarity. And one of the most concrete ways that we can express international solidarity is by waging our own struggles for national liberation and winning them. Long live international solidarity!”
The impact of this international pressure became particularly evident on the first anniversary of October 7th. Gal Hirsch, the Israeli government hostage point-man, emphasized how international actions are influencing negotiations with Hamas. Hirsch highlighted how global pressure undermines Israel’s ability to make progress on hostage deals:
“There is a direct and immediate connection between pressure on Israel and Hamas’s appetite for negotiations [for a hostage deal].”
“When there is international pressure on us, in the UN for instance, in the Security Council, from different government officials, from the International Criminal Court, from the International Court of Justice, in the hope of taking advantage of tensions between us and Iran, or between Hezbollah… and us, the idea of ‘no daylight between us and our allies’ is important. Very important.”
“Hamas identifies every ‘daylight,’ every sliver of light, and whenever it identifies ideas like ‘we won’t give you ammunition,’ arms embargos, removing reservations about the ICC, this doesn’t help us to reach a hostage deal.”
Mass Mobilization
At the People’s Conference for Palestine, mass mobilization with the aim of creating disruptions nationwide was highlighted as a crucial component in destabilizing America and the West. Flooding the streets with supporters hinders daily life. Shutting down bridges, highways, and airports falls into the category of blocking state-run roads, which is a crime, usually a state misdemeanor.
Mohammad Nabulsiemphasized the importance of mass mobilization as a central tactic during the conference:
“You all know, mass mobilizations is the primary tactic. It’s pouring people, thousands and millions into the streets. Street shutdowns through unsanctioned marches, bridge and train shutdowns, airport caravans and shutdowns, encampments, building takeovers, targeting of weapons manufacturers, all of these different things, shutting down events, bird-dogging—all of the things that we’ve seen throughout these last eight months.”
Yara Shoufani also spoke about the disruptive power of mass mobilization:
“You’ve marched in the streets and you’ve disrupted politicians in their workplaces and in their homes. You’ve shut down bridges, highways, and airports… You have disrupted the sham of U.S. democracy, initiating the largest percentage of uncommitted votes in recent history.
“We have made the situation untenable for the empire’s ruling classes and the political establishment, not allowing Biden a minute of peace, making it so he cannot visit a single city, not to campaign, not to fundraise without being disrupted.”
The NY-based pro-terror organization Within Our Lifetime (WOL) has been at the forefront of these mass mobilizations in the U.S., particularly in New York City. In the summer of 2021, during Operation Guardian of the Walls, WOL mastered the art of city disruptions, successfully leading shutdowns in key areas of NYC. By September 2021, WOL founder and leader Nerdeen Kiswani boldly declared:
“We don’t need tens of thousands of people to shut down and disrupt this city…as long as Palestinians are resisting colonization by any means necessary, we must do the same here in New York City. We have to up the stakes!”
WOL has perfected these mass mobilization tactics, staging disruptions nationwide while continuing to wreak havoc on New York City, where it has targeted major infrastructure, including:
Grand Central Station
Penn Station
The Manhattan Bridge
JFK Airport
Fatima Mohammed, a WOL leader (who was made famous by her virulently antisemitic and anti-Israel commence address at CUNY Law School in 2023), reiterated the movement’s commitment to disruption in a January 1, 2024 tweet:
“Expect us everywhere, at any time, at any day, during holidays and busy seasons—in the streets, airports, and stations. Until we get justice, this city will not rest. And if that bothers you—go cry about it to [President Joe] Biden who’s butchering our people.”
WOL’s activities are not an extension of what was discussed at the conference; they are the direct realization of the strategic goal of turning American streets into battlegrounds.
Mobilizing a Student Movement
Campus activism has become a key element in the movement’s strategy, pushing an anti-American, anti-capitalist and anti-Western narrative at American universities.
Universities have now become one of the movement’s main battlegrounds, serving as the center stage for aggressive advocacy and indoctrination, particularly since the events of October 7.
Beginning on April 17, 2024, with the first encampment at Columbia University, this influence reached its peak when over 140 pro-Hamas encampments were set up at North American universities, and over 20 more globally. The encampments became known as the “student intifada,” explicitly borrowing a term associated with terrorist violence.
Protesters at these encampments harassed Jewish students and professors, blocked them from campus facilities and shouted antisemitic slogans. They occupied campus grounds, in most cases illegally, caused property damage, violently took over buildings, celebrated terrorism and promoted the BDS movement.
Broader Implications of the Student Movement
The People’s Conference for Palestine hosted a session titled “The Student Intifada: Zionism Off Our Campus,” which explicitly addressed the role of the student movement in the broader anti-Israel cause. Introducing the session, Mohammad Nabulsi said,
“Many of us organizers…got our start [in] the student movement. That’s where we were forged. That’s where we were made to become who we are today. Those were the most formative and transformative experiences of our lives. And it’s important because the student movement has always produced the future leaders of our struggle, of every struggle, you know, and that includes the Palestinian struggle.”
Nidaa Lafi, the moderator of the session and a PYM organizer and former SJP officer at the University of Texas at Dallas, highlighted the impact of student movements since October 8th:
“For the past eight months and particularly the last month and a half, the student movement has played a crucial role in re-energizing the broader movements for Palestinian liberation both in the US and around the world.
“What began as a small encampment at Columbia University quickly spurred into a chain of escalations on college campuses with clear goals: ending our institutions’ complicity in the ongoing brutal genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, confronting administrations with a moral crisis, and proving to students and our society at large just how far our institutions are willing to go to protect their financial interests and protect the agenda of the empire.” (video source)
“Defining a new character for the struggle for Palestinian Liberation in the diaspora, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and other student groups have risen to meet the demands of this moment, pressuring every institution and every body that is complicit in genocide and making Palestine unavoidable in every sense of the word…The student movement has historically been at the forefront of the struggle.”
Roua Daas, an SJP organizer at Pennsylvania State University, spoke about how students have used various forms of disruption to “bring the war home”:
“We have worked to agitate our campuses and to illuminate these forces. And we have done this in several ways. Students have used divestment not only as a strategy for material change—not only as a way to weaken the State of Israel—but also as a pressure point to reveal the non-democracy and the US Imperial agenda to the public.
“Students have also used mass demonstrations and disruptions on public property to capture public attention, and then force the state and police to repress us in full public view… And student organizers have encouraged other students on their campus and the general public to question or outright turn against the state.
Students have brought the war home.”
The student movement, emboldened by outside organizers and amplified by social media, has become a powerful force for the Palestinian movement. The influence and disruption caused by this segment of the movement are not merely incidental; they are strategically orchestrated to leverage educational institutions as battlegrounds to challenge and destabilize Western, particularly American, political and cultural support for Israel.
The anti-Israel movement has become a significant and growing influence on educational institutions, not only at universities but also in K-12 education, where anti-Israel activists – including but not limited to those in New York City, California and Philadelphia – are pushing their agenda on the youngest generation.
Armed Struggle
A central strategy of the movement is armed struggle. It involves both supporting actual terrorism and whitewashing and glorifying these violent acts to make them palatable, even admirable, to a broader Western audience.
By framing terrorism as a legitimate form of “resistance” and “martyrdom” as praiseworthy, the movement deliberately avoids Western norms and definitions that identify such violence as inherently evil.
Instead, they create a narrative where terrorism becomes a noble fight for freedom, attracting sympathy and support worldwide.
This strategy began In May 2021, when WOL launched a campaign titled “Globalize the Intifada.” The campaign was designed to rally support for violent resistance against Israel and call for the “liberation of Palestine by any means necessary.” It explicitly embraced terrorism under the guise of “resistance,” aiming to normalize it both domestically and internationally.
Since the Hamas attack on October 7, this ideology has taken on a life of its own across the movement with the glorification of the horrific massacre.
WOL’s founder and leader Nerdeen Kiswani made a clear and unequivocal statement on Instagram the day of the attack pushing this narrative:
“If you support Palestine, understand that necessitates supporting our right to defend ourselves and liberate our homeland by any means necessary… Freedom has only ever been achieved through resistance.”
— October 7, 2023
According to the anti-Israel groups behind the October 8 celebrations, the Hamas massacre was a justified act of an oppressed people rising up against their oppressors. The grotesque events on the ground were reframed with the misleading slogan: “Resistance is justified when people are occupied.”
The war crimes Hamas perpetrated and broadcasted in real-time on October 7 were immediately rebranded on October 8 by the movement as “resistance.”
At The People’s Conference for Palestine, these sentiments were ubiquitous and could be heard from:
Mustafa Barghouti
“Resistance in all its forms, resistance is our right, resistance is our way, and resistance is our guarantee to succeed in our future.” (see video)
“Al Aqsa flood, which came on the seventh of October, actually represented a continuation of a true new kind of uprising that started in 2015 in the occupied territories… Regardless of how many sacrifices we had to make, in reality, what we have seen since the seventh of October is a return to the roots of the issue, to the roots of the problem, to the roots of why we are suffering as Palestinians.” (see video)
Eugene Puryear, host on Breakthrough News
“And I think it’s important that we just continue to lift up the Palestinian political prisoners, to demand that they all be released, to push back against this ridiculous propaganda. They are not terrorists, they are freedom fighters, and that has to be continually underlined.” (see video)
Wissam Rafeedie
“Hamas is actually part of the Palestinian People’s Liberation Movement, like all the resistance factions, both Islamic and leftist… I want to assure everyone that there is no longer a place for the two-state solution for any Palestinian. The only solution is one democratic Palestinian state on all Palestinian land, which will end the Zionist project in Palestine.” (see video)
Mohammed Nabulsi “We begin today by extending our salutations to our people in Palestine and to our noble steadfast resistance who continues to defend our people and honors our dignity and struggle. Eternal glory to our martyrs, speedy recovery to our wounded, and freedom for our steadfast prisoners. Over the last eight months, we the Palestinian people have demonstrated to the entire world that the only way we can author our own history and to transform our present reality is the path of unity through resistance.” (see video)
Abdeljawad Omar, lecturer at Birzeit University
“Resistance, including armed resistance, inspires, like the inspiration that we take from a bomb that is being placed at the gallows of a high-tech tank.” (see video)
Raja Abdelhaq “And these people, and this so-called Axis of Resistance, and the people around the region understand that Israel is an extension of American and Western hegemony, an extension of European colonialism, an extension of American imperialism. So, in order for us, and for the region, and for the resistance to end American hegemony in the region, to end American neocolonialism in the region, they must stand up to Israel because Israel is the first line of resistance, the first line of defense, for the American empire.” (see video)
Tara Alami “We understand the Palestinian resistance as being formed by the freedom fighter, the militant resistance fighter. But it’s also every Palestinian who chooses direct confrontation with the Zionist state…And that’s what popular resistance truly means, direct confrontation with the Zionist enemy at every sector of Palestinian society, with the participation of all Palestinians.” (see video)
Yara Shoufani “Our struggle is a long struggle and one that stands on the shoulders of thousands of martyrs and thousands of fighters who have committed and who are committing their lives to lay the ground for the revolution we see ahead of us today.” (see video)
Conclusion
This report describes the “resistance” movement in the U.S. that is focused on disrupting the American way of life and is dedicated to its destruction.
According to international and U.S. law, what this movement calls “resistance” is actually terrorism. To distort this fact is dangerous. The savagery – including violence, murder, rape and torture – committed on October 7 by Hamas was of a unique kind.
It is unconscionable that these actions and the ideology behind them are being promoted on America’s streets and campuses, especially targeting (and brainwashing) the younger generation.
While it was once considered extremist to openly call for the violent destruction of the entire West, the cadre advocating this idea has successfully normalized it in academia. It has been promoted in allied intersectional identity groups – Marxist/Leninists, Islamists, feminists, LGBTQs and Indigenous advocacy organizations.
The anti-Israel movement and their allied groups push the idea that global justice and the end of all oppression will only be brought about through “decolonization,” a code word for murder as well as the dismantlement of any system associated with colonialism or “oppressive” power. This includes the entirety of Western civilization, particularly the United States.
The People’s Conference for Palestine provided a clear window into this movement’s objectives and belief system. However, it should be noted that there are many more players and extensive organizing taking place beyond the conference.
Americans should be alarmed by this movement’s stated goals and tactics. Americans should be scared by their embrace of violence and acceptance of terror.
The anti-Israel project is a gateway to their goal of bringing down the West, and they are in the process of escalating by moving into the next stage by “Bringing the War Home.”
The chaos that overtook America this past year will continue and increase unless concrete action is taken against this movement.

UNIFIL was created by the Security Council in March 1978 to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, restore international peace and security and assist the Lebanese Government in restoring its effective authority in the area.
Reports indicate that IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon are seizing huge quantities of Hezbollah weapons, including Kornet anti-tank missiles. Rather than destroy them, the army is transferring them back to Israel, where a large arsenal of high-powered missiles is piling up.
This raises some interesting questions and possibilities as Israel decides what to do with these valuable weapons.
Notably, there is no public record of the IDF using captured Kornets operationally. Israel tends to use its own domestically produced or US-provided weapons, particularly for logistical consistency and efficiency.
However, the Russian-made Kornet is a highly effective weapon, known for its ability to penetrate advanced armor. The IDF is very familiar with it, as Hezbollah used it against Israeli forces in the past, including during the 2006 Lebanon War.
While the IDF normally does not use enemy weapons, a large enough stockpile of a highly effective system like the Kornet might prompt the army to rethink. The IDF could, in theory, make adjustments to incorporate the Kornet into certain units, though this would likely be limited to Special Forces or specific scenarios.
Stockpiling for emergency use
Technically, the IDF could adapt vehicles or launch platforms to use Kornets, or train specialized units in their use. There might be scenarios where using these missiles provides a tactical advantage, especially if there is a wish to conceal Israeli involvement.
Still, this would only happen if the advantages of using the Kornets outweighed the complications. The logistical complexity and risk of using foreign systems would remain significant obstacles.
Utilizing seized missiles could also be seen as a way to conserve resources, given the expense of anti-tank systems.
