VIDEO: The Religious Roots of the Israel-Hamas Clash — Decoding the Islamic Threat

“If we’re not willing to pledge our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to the cause of freedom, we risk losing all three anyway.”

In an exclusive and thought-provoking interview, Robert Spencer, the Director of Jihad Watch and a renowned author of 27 books, including multiple New York Times bestsellers, unveils the religious underpinnings of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Spencer’s deep insights shed light on the complex dynamics, religious ideologies, and the misreported threatening slogans that are chanted in demonstrations in support of Palestinians and Hamas. From exploring the concepts of ‘Dar Al Harb’ and ‘Dar Al Islam’ to the U.S.-Israel alliance and the contentious issue of so-called ‘Islamophobia,’ Spencer’s extensive expertise and meticulous research provide a critical lens through which to understand these pressing global issues.

The Religious Nature of the Israel-Hamas Conflict

Spencer emphasized that the Israel-Hamas conflict is fundamentally a religious one. It has been mistakenly framed as a territorial or geopolitical dispute for decades, leading to misguided analysis and unfruitful attempts at peace. Israel has made numerous territorial concessions to various jihadist groups, yet the conflict persists. Spencer succinctly summarized the basis of the entire conflict, highlighting Quranic verse 2:191, which commands believers to “drive them out from where they drove you out.” This verse forms the foundation for the Palestinian propaganda that alleges Palestinians were driven out by Israelis, even though historical evidence suggests otherwise. This narrative fuels a sense of religious obligation to drive Israelis out of the land, regardless of the size of Israel.

Spencer further explained that in classic Islamic theology, the House of Islam (Dar Al Islam) must continually expand at the expense of the House of War (Dar Al Harb). The green flags of many Islamic countries symbolize this perpetual growth. Muslims believe that any land that was once part of the Islamic domain must return to it, based on the Quranic principle of “drive them out from where they drove you out.” Hence, even if Israel were as small as a suburban front yard, it would not be acceptable to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or other Palestinian groups. The conflict is rooted in the religious duty of Muslims to regain any land they consider historically theirs.

Understanding Key Terms: Dar Al Harb and Dar Al Islam

Spencer explained the key terms “Dar Al Harb” (House of War) and “Dar Al Islam” (House of Islam). These terms illustrate the Islamic concept that the House of Islam must expand at the expense of the House of War, with warfare being the means of achieving this expansion. The green flags of Islamic countries represent the continuous growth of Islam, in contrast to other ideologies that diminish over time. This ideology fuels the belief that Israel must be reclaimed for Islam, irrespective of its size or any concessions made.

Why the U.S. Supports Israel

Spencer clarified the reasons for the United States’ strong support for Israel. He pointed out that Israel faces the same jihadist threat that led to the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. Therefore, forming an alliance of nations threatened by jihad should have been the logical response, as it would create a more coherent and effective web of alliances than the remnants of Cold War-era alliances.

The United States was one of the first countries to recognize Israel’s independence in 1948, and Israel remains the only free society in the region, guaranteeing equal rights to all its citizens. Given that the U.S. and Israel uphold the values of freedom and individual rights, it is only natural to support Israel, which is its most reliable and like-minded ally in the region. Spencer emphasized that Israel serves as the United States’ most reliable and like-minded ally in the region, a partnership that enhances the interests of both nations.

Widespread Support for Hamas and “From the River to the Sea” Chant

Spencer addressed the widespread support for Hamas among Palestinians, dispelling the misconception that most Palestinians reject the organization. He referenced a poll indicating that a significant majority of people in Gaza still support Hamas. Even more extremist groups, such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, enjoy even greater support among Palestinians.

Spencer delved into the provocative chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” explaining that it is a call for the complete destruction of Israel. The chant represents a fundamental rejection of Israel’s right to exist.

“Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud,” Chant

The interview also covered the chant, “Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud.” Spencer provided historical context, explaining that the chant is a threat that recalls a massacre carried out by Muhammad and his followers in the town of Khaybar against the Jews. This chant is intended to instill fear and symbolizes a call for violence against Jews.

The Fallacy of the “Occupation”

Spencer dismissed the notion of Israel’s “occupation” as a fallacy. He clarified that no occupation existed, historically or at present. To be occupied, someone must own the land first. Spencer highlighted the history, beginning with the Ottoman Empire and the British Mandate for Palestine, which was created to establish a Jewish national home in the region. He underlined that Israel is the only rightful claimant to the land, and its concessions for a Palestinian state prove its commitment to peace, even if reciprocated by violence.

The Myth of “Liberating Al Aqsa Mosque”

Spencer debunked the myth that Al Aqsa Mosque needs liberation. He explained that Al Aqsa Mosque is open to all Muslims for prayer, and there are no restrictions on access. It is a falsehood propagated to incite violence and advance the Palestinian propaganda machine’s narrative that Israel is attempting to destroy the mosque.

Understanding “Islamophobia”

Spencer elaborated on the term “Islamophobia,” highlighting its relatively recent coinage in the 1990s. He emphasized that the term is employed to stigmatize criticism of Islam, creating an unwarranted sense of bigotry, racism, and hatred around it. While the concept of “Islamophobia” is often used to denote vigilante attacks on innocent Muslims, Spencer underscored that there is no corresponding phenomenon of irrational hatred or persecution of Muslims throughout history. It is a deceptive strategy to silence criticism of Islam and its ideology.

The Ongoing Threat to Critics of Islam

The interview also delved into the safety of individuals who criticize Islam in the West. Spencer admitted to receiving death threats over the years and narrowly escaping assassination attempts. He pointed out that freedom fighters throughout history have faced threats and violence, yet they stood up for their principles and paved the way for the free societies we enjoy today.

Spencer’s insightful interview with RAIR Foundation USA shed light on the deep-seated religious nature of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the misrepresentations surrounding it. His extensive knowledge and commitment to truth underscored the importance of standing up against intimidation and threats to ensure that free societies endure.

PODCAST: Speaker Mike Johnson — Too Biblical For The Media?

Fourth time is a charm when it comes to electing a new speaker of the house. After three GOP members failed attempts, Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana cinched the speakership position, winning the House majority with 220 votes. Having kept a low profile for most of his political career, Rep. Johnson has received a lot of press since his climatic rise to speaker of the house.

While being known by his colleagues as a servant leader and man of deep biblical convictions, mainstream media has had quite a heyday deciding who this new speaker is.

Host Joseph Backholm is joined by The Washington Stand’s Jared Bridges and FRC’s Quena Gonzalez to discuss Johnson’s biblical beliefs and how the mainstream media are choosing to portray him. From being called a radical right extremist to a Christian nationalist – listen now and discover for yourself who Speaker Johnson is!

Iranian Poll Asks: ‘Is It Time For The Cancerous Tumor That Is The Zionist Regime To Disappear From The Face Of The Earth?’ Poll Lists Only Two Possible Answers: ‘Yes’ And ‘Definitely’

Iranian Daytime Show Conducts Viewer Poll: ‘Is It Time For The Cancerous Tumor That Is The Zionist Regime To Disappear From The Face Of The Earth?’ Poll Lists Only Two Possible Answers: ‘Yes’ And ‘Definitely’

Source: Channel 1 (Iran)

Iranian TV host Maryam Ghasemi presented the results of a viewer poll taken on a Channel 1 (Iran) daytime show that aired on October 28, 2023. The poll asked whether it is time for “the cancerous tumor that is the Zionist regime” to disappear from the face of the earth, and the two options given as answers were “yes” and “definitely.” Ghasemi said that the results of the poll show that the time for “the annihilation of the Zionist regime has arrived.” She added that all 6,070 people who voted in the poll are ready to go Gaza in support of the people of Gaza.

Ghasemi: “Let’s move on to today’s poll and to the votes that you, dear viewers, have cast. In the live count, you can see that more than 6,650 of you have voted for it. It is only the beginning and we are here until 1:30. The high vote count of the poll is really great. It shows that the [time for] the annihilation of the Zionist regime has arrived.

[…]

“It just occurred to me that based on more than 6,700 who have voted – 6,700 people are ready to go to Gaza in support of the dear people of Gaza. Certainly, the count in the poll will increase.”

BANNED VIDEOS: Plandemic — Indoctornation Parts 1 & 2

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • “Plandemic — Indoctornation” reveals the driving forces behind the vaccine agenda. It looks at the roles of the World Health Organization, Bill Gates, Tedros Adhanom, Dr. Anthony Fauci, mainstream media, Silicon Valley tech giants, Big Pharma and many others, connecting the dots between them
  • The U.S. CDC owns the patent for SARS-CoV (the virus responsible for SARS) isolated from humans. In 2007, the CDC filed a petition with the patent office to keep their coronavirus patent confidential. They also own patents for detection methods, and for a kit to measure the virus
  • By law, one cannot patent naturally-occurring DNA. If SARS-CoV is natural, then the patent is illegal. If the virus is manmade, the patent is legal, but the creation of the virus would be a violation of biological weapons treaties and laws. So, either way, the CDC has engaged in illegal activity
  • Because the CDC owns the patent on SARS-CoV, it controls who has the ability to make inquiries into it. Unless authorized, you cannot look at the virus, you cannot measure it or make tests for it, since they own all those patents. This means the CDC has a major profit motive

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill owns a patent describing methods for producing recombinant coronaviruses.

Late in May 2020, media producer Mikki Willis released the first part of his documentary “Plandemic,” featuring Judy Mikovits, Ph.D., a cellular and molecular biologist1 whose research revealed many vaccines are contaminated with gammaretroviruses, due to the viruses being grown in contaminated animal cell lines. The 26-minute film was banned on every social media platform after going viral.2 August 18, 2020, Part 2, titled “Plandemic — Indoctornation,” was released.

Plandemic — Indoctornation

Part 2 is a full-length feature, revealing the driving force behind the vaccine agenda. It looks at the roles of the World Health Organization, Bill Gates, Tedros Adhanom, Dr. Anthony Fauci, mainstream media, Silicon Valley tech giants, Big Pharma and many others, connecting the dots between them. Willis interviews a variety of individuals, including:

Activist and journalist Theo Wilson Researcher Dr. Aaron Lewis

Board-certified primary care physician Dr. Jeff Barke

Attorney, science teacher and author Kent Heckenlively
Sherri Tenpenny, D.O. Dr. Rashid Buttar, medical director for the Centers for Advanced Medicine
Author Curtis Cost Attorney David J. Follin
Author and winner of the Doctors Who Rock Truth in Journalism Award 2017, Erin Elizabeth NJ state representative Jamel C. Holley
Dr. Colin Gonsalves, senior counsel, Supreme Court of India Legal researcher Travis Middleton
Mary Holland, vice chair and general counsel for the Children’s Health Defense Educator and activist Peggy Hall
Kevin Jenkins, CEO of Urban Global Health Alliance Professor John Oller, researcher in theoretical and experimental biosemiotics
Engineer and Google whistleblower Zach Vorhies Dr. George Zabrecky, physician, medical educator and researcher
Dr. Pamela Popper, president of Wellness Forum Health Scientist Denis Rancourt, Ph.D.
Dr. Meryl Nass, physician, researcher and writer Professor Dolores J. Cahill, Ph.D., a molecular biologist and immunologist
Professor Luc Montagnier, a Nobel Laureate, medical researcher and virologist

Free supplemental footage, including a follow-up interview with Mikovits, as well as links to additional resources provided by all of the interviewees are supposed to be available on the film’s website, plandemicseries.com.

Event 201

The film starts out by reviewing Event 201, a pandemic preparedness simulation hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in October 2019 — 10 weeks before the COVID-19 outbreak first began in Wuhan.

This scripted tabletop exercise included everything we now see playing out in real time, in the real world, from PPE shortages, lockdowns and removal of civil liberties to mandated vaccination campaigns, riots, economic turmoil and the breakdown of social cohesion. A highlight reel of the predictions put forth during this event is included in the documentary.

At the time, they spent a great deal of time discussing ways to limit and counter the spread of expected “misinformation” about the pandemic and the vaccines that would have to be developed. In addition to outright censorship, their plan included the use of “soft power,” a term referring to stealth influencing using celebrities and other social media influencers.

I discussed this in “The PR Firm Behind WHO’s Celeb Endorsements.” Just as in real life, one of the pieces of “misinformation” that had to be countered was rumors that the virus had been created and released from a bioweapons laboratory.

Operation Mockingbird Never Ended, It Just Got Privatized

The film also reveals how SARS-CoV-2 has been turned into a profit center, the possible origins of SARS-CoV-2, and how Silicon Valley tech giants are controlling the narrative, pushing fearmongering and censoring differing views.

What we’re seeing is straight out of the Operation Mockingbird playbook, a clandestine CIA media influencing campaign launched in the 1950s. During the Cold War, the CIA used it to spread propaganda. It recruited journalists to pen fake stories that disparaged communist ideologies.

Today, they’re doing the complete opposite, promoting radical socialist ideas that support their plan for a technocratic economic system.

Shockingly, the reason this shadow government — led by government contractors, privatized intelligence companies — are able to manipulate public opinion is because they’ve been illegally siphoning the data collected by the NSA from all Americans, and privatizing it.

All of our personal data, combined with artificial intelligence and so-called localization strategies, allows sophisticated computer programs to predict which action or public message will result in a particular outcome.

We’re in the midst of a social engineering project that poses a serious existential threat to our personal liberty and freedom. We’re all exposed to it daily, and have been for years. It’s just that now it’s become so pervasive, it’s blatantly obvious for anyone willing to see it. As you’d expect, “Plandemic — Indoctornation” also spends some time reviewing the role of Bill Gates and his foundation.

CDC Owns Coronavirus Patents

Willis interviews David E. Martin, Ph.D., a national intelligence analyst and founder of IQ100 Index, which developed linguistic genomics, a platform capable of determining the intent of communications. According to Martin, in 1999, IBM digitized 1 million U.S. patents, which allowed his company to conduct a review.

Using linguistic genomics technology, Martin made the “horrific assessment” that one-third of all patents filed in the U.S. were functional forgeries, meaning that “while they had linguistic variations, they covered the same subject matter.” In 1999, patents for coronavirus also started to appear, “and thus began the rabbit trail,” Martin says.

In 2003, Asia experienced an outbreak of SARS. Almost immediately, scientists began racing to patent the virus. Ultimately, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention nabbed ownership of SARS-CoV (the virus responsible for SARS) isolated from humans.

The CDC actually owns the entire genetic content of that SARS virus. It’s patented under U.S. patent 7776521. They also own patents for detection methods, and for a kit to measure the virus.

U.S. patent 7279327,3 filed by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, describes methods for producing recombinant coronaviruses. Ralph Baric, Ph.D., a professor of microbiology and immunology who is famous for his chimeric coronavirus research, is listed as one of the three inventors, along with Kristopher Curtis and Boyd Yount.

According to Martin, Fauci, Baric and the CDC “are at the hub” of the COVID-19 story. “In 2002, coronaviruses were recognized as an exploitable mechanism for both good and ill,” Martin says, and “Between 2003 and 2017, they [Fauci, Baric and CDC] controlled 100% of the cash flow to build the empire around the industrial complex of coronavirus.”

CDC Has Broken the Law, One Way or Another

Now, here’s the key take-home message Martin delivers. There’s a distinct problem with the CDC’s patent on SARS-CoV isolated from humans, because, by law, naturally occurring DNA segments are prohibited from being patented.

The law clearly states that such segments are “not patent eligible merely because it has been isolated.” So, either SARS-CoV was manmade, which would render the patent legal, or it’s natural, thus rendering the patent on it illegal.

However, if the virus was manufactured, then it was created in violation of biological weapons treaties and laws. This includes the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, passed unanimously by both houses of Congress and signed into law by George Bush Sr., which states:4

“Whoever knowingly develops, produces, stockpiles, transfers, acquires, retains, or possesses any biological agent, toxin, or delivery system for use as a weapon, or knowingly assists a foreign state or any organization to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for life or any term of years, or both. There is extraterritorial Federal jurisdiction over an offense under this section committed by or against a national of the United States.”

So, as noted by Martin, regardless of which scenario turns out to be true, the CDC has broken the law one way or another, either by violating biological weapons laws, or by filing an illegal patent. Even more egregious, May 14, 2007, the CDC filed a petition with the patent office to keep their coronavirus patent confidential.

Now, because the CDC owns the patent on SARS-CoV, it has control over who had the ability to make inquiries into the coronavirus, Martin notes. Unless authorized, you cannot look at the virus, you cannot measure it or make tests for it, since they own the entire genome and all the rest.

“By obtaining the patents that restrained anyone from using it, they had the means, the motive, and most of all, they had the monetary gain from turning coronavirus from a pathogen to a profit,” Martin says.

Dangerous Gain-of-Function Research Was Permitted

Martin goes on to describe events occurring between 2012 and 2013. At that time, the National Institutes of Health decided to take another look at gain-of-function research, ultimately deciding that gain-of-function research on coronavirus was too risky to continue.

This led to the suspension of funding of such research in 2013. That included funding flowing into Harvard, Emery and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. However, while the NIH had moral and even legal reasons for suspending such research, they made the funding pause voluntary, not mandatory.

Then, in 2014, when the push-back against gain-of-function research into coronaviruses grew further, the NIH — under the leadership of Fauci — offshored that research to — you guessed it — the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

However, as detailed by Martin, the funding was not sent in a straight-forward way. Instead, it was funneled through front organizations such as the EcoHealth Alliance, led by its president, Peter Daszak, whose research, according to the EcoHealth Alliance website, “includes identifying the bat origin of SARS.”5

Between 2014 and 2019, EcoHealth Alliance received a long list of grants from the NIH to study “the risk of bat coronavirus emergence.” EcoHealth Alliance then subcontracted that work to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. So, in the end, the U.S. could deny culpability, blaming the outbreak on China when, in fact, it was American research that had been outsourced.

Interestingly, in late-breaking news August 19, 2020, The Wall Street Journal6 reported that the NIH had notified EcoHealth that it wants “a sample of the new coronavirus that the Wuhan researchers used to determine its genetic sequence,” along with study details and other information.

Additionally, the NIH demanded that EcoHealth “arrange for an inspection of the Wuhan Institute of Virology by an outside team that would examine the facility’s lab and records ‘with specific attention to addressing the question of whether WIV staff had SARS-CoV-2 in their possession prior to December 2019.’”

The problem, Martin notes in “Indoctornation,” is that while the evidence is staring us right in the face, we’re told that so-called “fact-checkers” have a transcendent view of the situation, and they are the ultimate arbiters of truth. As a result, we have this very strange situation where facts and logic are being steamrolled and lambasted as good old-fashioned heresy.

Will Truth Prevail?

The film goes on to interview many other experts, many of whom are convinced the evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 being a manmade virus. Like Plandemic Part 1, Part 2 is well worth your time. As noted by Willis, in today’s fast-paced world, few have the time to do the necessary research to unveil what’s really going on.

The evidence is there, but you have to put it together. This is why documentaries such as “Plandemic” and “Shadowgate” are so useful. They weave the dots together so that you can see a fuller, more complete picture. Unfortunately, the picture at present is grim.

Yet, we must face it because it’s not going away or resolving in the near future. It is important to understand that we are all being subjected to a massive propaganda campaign to move us toward a very specific technocratic agenda. It is only by seeking alternative views that we can begin to understand the truth.

In the case of coronavirus, it should be clear that gain-of-function research is a dangerous game that should not be permitted. By giving researchers the go-ahead to continue this kind of research, even as the NIH publicly “paused” funding for it, the NIH failed to uphold its moral and legal responsibilities.

It’s also clear that the CDC has engaged in illegal activities relating to the patenting of the virus, and that they had ample motive and means to profit from a coronavirus pandemic. It’s hard to imagine a more corrupt system than what we currently have. The question is: When will something be done about it?

Charleston White: ‘We Need Donald Trump Back’

Charleston White, a prominent figure in the hip-hop world with many followers, expressed his unwavering backing for Donald Trump in an interview around October 12, 2023.

The surprise of White’s endorsement stems from his well-documented controversial and offensive behavior, which has raised eyebrows and sparked debates over the years. Despite this, he has managed to maintain his influence and relevance in the hip-hop community, which makes his support for Trump all the more intriguing.

What sets White’s endorsement apart is its alignment with a broader trend — a growing wave of Republicans rallying behind Trump — as he contemplates a potential return to the White House.

This phenomenon has rekindled discussions about the motivations behind White’s alliance with the former President and its significance in the larger political landscape, leaving observers and fans alike curious. Charleston White’s recent declaration, “I’m a diehard Trump supporter. In my household, we have Martin Luther King, Jesus, and Donald Trump,” in the YouTube video titled “DEVASTATING! | Charleston White SHOCKS Black Liberal PROVING Trump Case Won’t Land Him in Jail,” uploaded on October 12, 2023, reveals the underpinnings of his support for former President Donald Trump. This statement and its accompanying rationale, “I paid attention in school,” have provoked considerable curiosity and discussion, comparing the values and beliefs typically associated with figures such as Martin Luther King and Jesus with those of Trump.

However, the enigma surrounding Charleston White’s staunch support for Trump unravels with his explanation, “I paid attention in school.” This seemingly simple statement points to a deeper, more complex motivation that underscores the significance of education and critical thinking in shaping political beliefs and opinions. White’s endorsement, then, serves as a striking reminder that various factors can influence the dynamics of political allegiance and that a thorough and discerning education can lead individuals to support political figures who may outwardly appear contradictory to their beliefs. The video has doubtless attracted attention, with viewers and commentators discussing White’s arguments and their implications for the broader political landscape. White’s endorsement has caused a stir within the hip-hop community, which traditionally leans more toward liberal politics.

His endorsement might have been surprising to many, leading to discussions about political affiliations, personal beliefs, and the influence of rap music on politics. The endorsement could also potentially influence the views of his fans or followers, leading to further debate and discussion within that particular culture and community.

SPECIAL EDITION — Tennessee Mayoral Candidate Gabrielle Hanson and Voter Fraud

Continuously since 2020, Americans have been told, “there was NO election fraud!”

Regardless of the hearings, submittals, testimony, and evidence made public, the political establishment combined from both political parties have worked overtime to squash even a scintilla of evidence and to ridicule, even character assassinate, those who came forward and dared to suggest our electoral process is less than honest, less than reliable. In a tremendous way, We The People have been subjected to a “selection process not an election process” in far too many locations. And yet, the ridicule and nay-sayers continue their litany of shameful denials proclaiming…“nothing to see here move on!”

What you are about to hear is a candid conversation by and between, former Arizona State Rep. Mark Finchem, Franklin, Tennessee Mayoral candidate Gabrielle Hanson and me on this Special Edition of ARIZONA TODAY. What you are about to hear is startling. The testimony by this Mayoral candidate who days ago went through a stolen election is sobering and alarming.

The eye-witness accounts of alleged voter fraud, election tabulator severe interference and remote vote changing are what occurs in third-world dictatorial countries, and they are reported on this Special Edition as having occurred in Franklin, Tennessee just days ago.

On September 18, 1787, Maryland delegate to the Constitutional Convention, James McHenry (1753-1816) heard and then wrote in his records of the last day of the Constitutional convention: “A lady asked Dr. Benjamin Franklin Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy – a republic replied Benjamin Franklin if you can keep it.” The Lady was Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia. I firmly believe Dr. Franklin and ALL the Delegates to the Constitutional convention would be appalled and very angry at what has transpired the last two years in our electoral process.

The United States of America is teetering on the edge about to fall over and lose forever the gift given to us by our founders. We are about to lose the exceptional nation birthed and called a republic. I sincerely pray YOU reading this and then listening to the shocking conversation on this Special Edition of ARIZONA TODAY do something; shout, demand answers, hold elected officials accountable for explanations and investigations, demand a review of the electoral process in your community, county, state.

Do NOT simply sit and do nothing.

Our republic is hanging by a thread, and I am NOT being conspiratorial.

VIDEO: Every Single Word From This Man Is ‘The Truth’

I watched this tweet on X and realized that every single word this man said is the absolute truth.

Watch and listen to Every Single Word.

Here’s an example of what those who support Hamas want. “Khaibar Ya Yahud” means “Jews remember Khaibar” or “let’s do to Jews what they did to the Jews in the Arabian peninsula city called Khaibar” where Jews settled.

Muhammad slaughtered everyone, including women and children in the province of Khaybar.

To understand where this hate originated please watch the below video “The History of Gaza“:

Islamists not only have slaughters Jews, they have also slaughtered their fellow Muslims, as well as Christians, Yazidis, and many other ethnicities.

Watch this video titled “Surviving ISIS: The hunt for the missing Yazidis | Foreign Correspondent

The Bottom Line

There never has been a Palestine, it is a myth, a lie, an un-truth.

The 1939 flag of Palestine clearly shows that it was recognized as a Jewish entity even then, and that the name “Palestine” historically referred to a region (so named by the Romans after they expelled the Jews in 134 AD, using the name of the Philistines, the Israelites’ Biblical enemies), not to a people.

Click here to view the 1939 flag of Palestine.

There was no Palestinian nationality before the 1960s, when it was invented in order to reposition what was then universally known as the Arab/Israeli conflict. Up to the invention of “Palestinians,” the Israelis were the tiny, besieged people amidst a huge number of hostile Arabs; after that invention, the “Palestinians” themselves became the tiny, besieged people against the big, bad Israelis. PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said this in 1977:

The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.

The Israelis were mistaken ever to play along with this charade.

1939 PALESTINIAN FLAG. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? SURPRISED?

Factual Israel, November 14, 2014:

This a Larousse French dictionary from 1939. In the appendix it lists all the then current flags of the world in alphabetical order. You’ll notice that for Germany at that time the flag was the Nazi one replete with Swastikas’ which proves that this was pre-1945 ( before 1945)!

Now, alphabetically, look for the Palestinian Flag. YES , there is one. What does it look like? Surprised? Oh, but you thought (Mandate Jewish) Palestine was an Islamic Arab-,Turkish-, Circassian Sovereign State that the bad Jews took over , right?

Confused?

From 1920-1948 a ( class ‘A’ Mandate) State of Palestine existed as per international law but it was, as all of its major institutions, Jewish. Until the 1960s, name “Palestine” resonated as something Jewish to European ears; the Muslims rejecting the name saying it didn’t belong. The 4,000 year old Jewish homeland or “Land of Israel” or the “Holy Land” were all synonymous!!

The British as legal Mandatory over the Mandate managed or mismanaged the state partially with Jewish Auxiliary until Jews regained official sovereignty in 1948, by declaring independence.

The U.N. did not recreate Israel as some people claim.

PODCAST: Christian Just War Theory—Israel and Hamas

Christian just war theory addresses two questions:

  1. When is it right to fight?
  2. How do you rightly fight the fight?

Israel has shown great restraint in their conflict with Hamas. One government is doing everything they can to shield their people, while the other is using their people as shields.

Host Joseph Backholm is joined by Marc LiVecche, a Scholar of Ethics, War, and Public Life at Providence and a nonresident research fellow at the US Naval War College and FRC’s Quena Gonzalez to discuss the proportionality of the current war.

They take a deep dive into Israel’s reason to fight, the way they are fighting, and the overall goal to end this conflict.

The complexity of this situation has left many wondering who is to blame – listen now to unravel the web of this current war through a Christian lens.

Clarion Re-Releases Its Documentaries About Hamas, Iran and Foreign Funding

The American public is watching as violent pro-Palestinian demonstrations around the country celebrate the murder, capture, and torture of Israeli citizens by Hamas terrorists.

Americans are watching in horror as our own communities are once again falling victim to acts of homegrown Islamic terror.

Who is Hamas? Where did they come from? What drives their unquenchable thirst for terror? How are they impacting America?

The Clarion Project is re-releasing three critically acclaimed documentaries that answer these questions. We would like to help your viewers understand the truth.

Press kits for these documentaries can be downloaded from this folder:

Kids: Chasing Paradise follows the stories of activists working to save children from Islamist extremism and radicalization. Interviews include trainees in a Hamas terrorist training camp.

Iranium details the dangers of an Iranian nuclear threat. With Iran literally on the brink of nuclear capability, this film is more timely today than ever before.

Obsession exposes the threat of radical Islam to Western civilization.

Covert Cash: What American Universities Don’t Want You to Know About Their Foreign Funding exposes the billions of dollars flowing into U.S. universities from countries hostile to American values and democracy.

We urge you to screen these films widely and repeatedly across your platform so that your viewers are educated and armed with the information that will help them counteract the vitriolic ideology that is once again turning America’s communities and streets into unsafe places for our citizens.

To receive the film files, schedule interviews, or request more information, please email me and I will get you what you need immediately.

We have no time to waste. The American public must know who we are dealing with. You can show them the answers.

Respectfully yours,

VIDEO: A Call To The Civilized World


Ladies and gentlemen, believers in democracy and modernity.

My name is Dr. Mordechai Kedar, a researcher of the Middle East and Islam.

Israel is at war.

A war between the Jewish state and Isis-like terrorists who believe that Jews should not have a state at all, should be subjugated to Islam, should be humiliated as it says in the Koran and should pay the jizia (head tax). According to their belief, if Jews dare to establish a state, even on their fore-fathers’ land, they should be exterminated.

On October 7th, in the early morning, Hamas attacked thousands of Israelis, for no reason. They murdered, raped, tortured and mutilated children in front of their parents and parents in front of their children and then shot them. It wasn’t enough to kill them however, and they desecrated the bodies, cutting of heads and burning them so that in some cases it is almost impossible to identify them.

Many of the terrorists filmed their barbaric acts and uploaded them to their social media.

Many Gazans followed the armed terrorists into Israeli territory in order to gloat, kill and loot. Others in Gaza went out to the streets and distributed sweets in celebration of this grand victory over the Jews.

Some 15 hundred Israelis and foreign nationals were murdered that day in cold blood. Entire families were wiped out and people who came to enjoy themselves at a music festival fell victim to hatred towards anything western. Statistically, 1500 Israelis can be compared in number to 45,000 Americans. 15 times the amount that were murdered on September 11th 2001.

Over 200 people were kidnapped and are held as hostages in Ghaza.

Hamas is the Palestinian tentacle of the Iranian octopus which has reached also into Lebanon, Hezbollah, militias in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, who are all preparing to wipe out Israel as per the orders of the Ayatollahs regime in Iran.

Israel’s struggle for survival is not only for Israel. If the jihadists succeed to destroy Israel, Europe will be the next and the Atlantic Ocean is not wide enough to keep America safe from this evil.

This is a war between good against evil, civilization against savagery, normalcy against barbarism. It is the struggle between western culture and the jihadists lead by Iran, who want to destroy it. Just imagine how the world will look like if Iran succeeds to acquire the doomsday weapon.

Your support of Israel will save you from this jihadist campaign against western values and culture.

Don’t stand idly by.

Thank you so much.

Dr. Mordechai Kedar

VIDEO: ‘ISRAEL AT WAR’ Interview with Lebanese-Israeli Shady Khaloul

As Israel prepares to launch a ground operation in Gaza to end the curse of Palestinian Hamas, Israel has a watchful eye on our northern border with Lebanon, a beautiful country hijacked and ruined by Hezbollah, and Palestinian terrorists before them.

In recent days, Hezbollah has increased their attacks against northern Israel.

To understand Lebanon, I had a conversation with Shadi Khaloul, Lebanese-Israeli, and a friend.

Shadi is the founder of the Maronite Christian community in the north of Israel.

Many Maronite Christians serve in elite units of the IDF and, despite being proud and loyal Israelis, they mourn the loss of a Lebanon they once knew and loved.

HAMAS TERRORIST RALLY, ORLANDO, FL, 10.14.23: Watch a Screaming Jihadi In Yoga Pants

On October 14, 2023 our investigator went to a Pro-HAMAS rally in Orlando, Florida. Below is a 5 minute video overview of that “Jew-Hate Rally.”

Please Note:

  1. A Muslim woman leading Muslim men. (…the times are a changing!).
  2. Very poorly attended. (maybe, even Muslims realize HAMAS is ISIS).
  3. The use of “Zionist” instead of Jew (this is supposed to trick you into thinking this is NOT Jew-Hate).
  4. The total ignorance about the facts of this war.

QUESTION OF THE DAY FOR MUSLIMS: ARE YOGA PANTS HARAM?

WATCH: “The Screaming Jihadi in Yoga Pants.”

The Screaming Jihadi in yoga pants aka Rasha Mubarak, organized this poorly attended rally.

The Hamas rally is in response to the ongoing Israel/Hamas war. Many believe Iran started this war to derail the Israel/Saudi Arabia alliance under the umbrella of the Abraham Accords.

Daniel Greenfield made some brilliant observations below.

SJP says, “The “martyrs” are the Hamas terrorists.

It added that “every settler is an aggressive occupier even as they sit comfortably in their stolen homes” and that “there exists only a colonizer and a colonized, an oppressed and an oppressor” meaning that all Jews and non-Muslims in Israel were legitimate targets for mass murder.”

Islamic terrorism is a reality. It’s a hard and sharp edged reality. It’s knives, bullets and bombs. It’s fires and broken glass. It slashes its way through an unreal fantasy world of media and social media, of celebrity gossip, movie trailers, trending topics and the nonsense that fills our heads and our everyday lives.

Daniel Greenfield writes,

“It’s too real because we’ve become unaccustomed to reality. The thing about reality is that it’s ugly. Like a patient dying in an ICU or like the smell of a dead animal in a slaughterhouse, it’s a reality we don’t like to confront. And we’ve built elaborate systems to keep us from confronting it. A big enough attack, a massive spectacle, can cut through all the layers of imaginary things coating our brains and our eyes.

But the familiar reasserts itself. Unity breaks apart. We start blaming each other and arguing over the right response. And we discover that we are much more comfortable fighting each other than Islam.

In Israel, it’s beginning to happen already just as it did in America.

A week ago, Israelis on the left were seriously asserting that Netanyahu was planning to make himself king. And then suddenly a shocking and horrifying reality arrived. Will Israelis pull together? They have for the moment. But the usual political players are maneuvering for advantage. The families of the hostages are threatening to shake the government. There’s grousing about inadequate preparation. And the conspiracy theorists have already arrived to explain that the whole thing was clearly done by the government because how else could it have missed the Hamas attack. (This shortly after the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur during which the government missed a much larger invasion.)

All of this is normal. But normalcy is exactly the problem.

The only way to fight Islamic terrorism is to leave a dysfunctional normalcy behind and rediscover what it means to be a nation fighting for its survival against enemies whose evil is utterly unmitigated.

Out of such stone, great nations, peoples and heroes were once carved.

But for many the reality of Islamic terrorism is an unwelcome distraction from whatever rabbit holes they’ve gone down. Fantasy is more malleable, more exciting and less painful than reality. In fantasy, you are a main character, whereas in reality, you’re someone cowering under a table waiting to die.

And who wants to live in reality? Strong men and women, not necessarily physically, but mentally and morally, who are not easily swayed or crazed, who stick to common sense and hard choices.

Unfortunately the peoples of the world have become weak, crazed, deadened, maddened and, like the former citizens of Byzantium, determined to keep fighting each other to the last minute while the Islamic hordes advance.

Reality is inescapable. We saw that in Israel again, just as we see it with every act of Islamic terrorism. It’s the outside world breaking through the illusions we’ve embraced and forcing us to look up from them. We can either wake up and stay awake. Or we can go back to sleep until we perish.

Rabbit holes are interestingly convoluted places, but spend enough time in them and you die.

Get out of the rabbit holes, stand together, fight the enemy and live.”
