OUR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE A HARD TIME TELLING THE TRUTH…

Once again, editorial cartoonist Gary Varvel nailed it in a one-panel cartoon…

Varvel

Fuck your multiculturalism. Only a fool would believe that a culture that condones and justifies the wanton slaughter of innocent children, even their own children, should be protected from the consequences of their evil actions.

These are modern-day Nazis, and they and their supporters deserve to be held accountable for the society they created.

When you hear the Nazis speak about “the occupation,” they are not referring to Gaza or the West Bank but to all of Israel occupying “their” lands. Hence, the saying, “From the river to the sea,” refers to killing all the Jews in Israel. 

And, it is either the arrogance or the ignorance of the West that refuses to believe them or suggests they mean something else. However, peaceful coexistence with their neighbors is not it.

There is a reason that no Arab nation with significant space is willing to accept a large number of Palestinians into their country. If there were no Jews, the Arabs would be at war with their neighbors or return to the centuries-old conflict between the Sunnis and the Shia over who is the rightful heir of Islam. 

What part of the Hamas Charter is unclear?

Hamas-charter

And our own Representatives are representing our enemies...

HOUSE-HAMAS

Bottom line…

The savage man does not think like a civilized man. They do not share your values. You are considered sub-human and worthy of extinction without any additional thought.

We are living in trying times. When our politicians, our corporate leaders, our celebrities, and our institutions are revealing their true nature.

Take heed. Believe them when they tell you who they are and what they want. Beware, they are here and willing to kill you for their cause. They are aided and abetted by those who want to disarm you and make you more vulnerable. And, they do not care what tee-shirt you are wearing or that you are waving their flag -- you are an American, the evil satan deserving of death.

Look what’s pouring across our border, fundamentally changing the nature of our nation and exceptional culture. Be mindful of what’s happening here and just not in foreign lands.

We are so screwed.

CONFLICTED

HOUSE-HAMAS

Memories of past anti-Semitism, both personal and institutional, seem to be fading away. In contrast, the progressive democrats invent new ones, much like President Joe Biden recalling his participation in the civil rights movement. Truth be told, he was either a racist or a fellow traveler as he feted genuine racists.

Today, the progressive communist democrats are openly hostile, dismissive, or, at best, ambivalent to the plight of international Jewry, especially as it exists in Israel.

The U.S. Government Turned Away Thousands of Jewish Refugees, Fearing That They Were Nazi Spies

In a long tradition of “persecuting the refugee,” the State Department and FDR claimed that Jewish immigrants could threaten national security

World War II prompted the largest displacement of human beings the world has ever seen—although today's refugee crisis is starting to approach its unprecedented scale. But even with millions of European Jews displaced from their homes, the United States had a poor track record offering asylum. Most notoriously, in June 1939, the German ocean liner St. Louis and its 937 passengers, almost all Jewish, were turned away from the port of Miami, forcing the ship to return to Europe; more than a quarter died in the Holocaust.

Government officials from the State Department to the FBI to President Franklin Roosevelt himself argued that refugees posed a serious threat to national security. Yet today, historians believe that Bahr's case was practically unique—and the concern about refugee spies was blown far out of proportion.

Historian: New evidence shows FDR’s bigotry derailed many Holocaust rescue plans

In his book about Franklin Roosevelt and the Holocaust, Rafael Medoff finds links between the US president’s anti-Japanese stances and his policies against Jews fleeing Hitler

Not only was US president Franklin Roosevelt perfunctory about rescuing Jews from the Nazis, but he obstructed rescue opportunities that would have cost him little or nothing, according to Holocaust historian Rafael Medoff.

FDR’s role in preventing the rescue of European Jewry is detailed in a new book called, “The Jews Should Keep Quiet: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, and the Holocaust.”

Published in September through The Jewish Publication Society, Medoff’s book includes new archival materials about the relationship between Roosevelt and Rabbi Stephen Wise, who the author sees as a sycophantic Jewish leader used by Roosevelt to “keep the Jews quiet.”

Wrote Medoff, “Franklin Roosevelt took advantage of Wise’s adoration of his policies and leadership to manipulate Wise through flattery and intermittent access to the White House.” In return for visits to the White House and Roosevelt calling him by his first name, Wise undermined Jewish activists who demanded the administration let more Jewish refugees into the US.

According to Medoff, Roosevelt’s policies toward European Jews were motivated by sentiments similar to those that spurred him to intern 120,000 Japanese Americans in detention camps as potential spies.

Bottom line…

There should be no doubt that the anti-Semitic sentiment in Ivy League schools that feed the U.S. Department of State is alive and influencing current Israeli policy. As for the media, especially the New York Times and the Washington Post, they have traditionally downplayed everything from the Holocaust to today's massacre.

There are defining moments when your character shines through for all to see. And in the internet age, it will be on display and accessible during your lifetime.

If you side with evil, citing your multi-cultural moral equivalency, you are about to get screwed – as the terrorists would kill you as an American no matter whose tee-shirt you are wearing.

THE MORAL AMBIGUITY OF FOOLS

I was astonished when Tucker Carlson hosted presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in a discussion that could be summarized as Let us rethink Ukraine and Israel strategy and act responsibly by putting American interests first.

Observing a moral imperative but restricting our actions to what benefits the United States.

Specifically cited is our involvement in protecting the interests of others, which ignores the defense of the American homeland. Calling out individuals such as Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham as unthinkingly pro-conflict. And suggesting that some of our politicians are bought and paid for by foreign lobbyists.

Of course, Vivek was not having a conversation; he was campaigning – for what I do not know since he is not presidential material.

The acid test…

Moral-clarity

Bottom line…

Negotiation with evil is not a negotiation; it is surrender. You do not contain evil with artificial lines; you kill evil wherever and whenever it appears.

We are so screwed,

MEDIA MONSTERS?

Mh-1
What is wrong with today’s corporatized media?

Stupid? Ignorant? Incompetent? Or propagandists for the progressive communist democrats, and their policy of appeasement?

One would think that some of these highly educated individuals would understand that what they are seeing is pure, unadulterated terrorism.

They might even go so far as to ask a fundamental question: Why is Israel suddenly responsible for Arab-Palestinians?

  • Jordan governed the West Bank from 1948 to 1967. After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Jordan annexed the West Bank, and it was under Jordanian administration until the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel gained control of the territory. Jordan wants nothing to do with the Arab-Palestinians. The President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, assumed command of the terrorist PLO and is now in the 18th year of a four-year term. 

  • What occupation? Israel unilaterally withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, including evacuating all Israeli civilians from the Gaza Strip and withdrawing the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from the territory. The withdrawal was completed in August 2005, ending Israeli military and civilian presence in Gaza. Hamas immediately took control and launched a terror campaign, forcing Israel to blockade the area to protect Israeli citizens.

  • Egypt refuses to allow Arab-Palestinians in Gaza to flee Hamas and enter the country as refugees. Hamas wants them to stay and die for a fundraising photo op. What can you say about men who hide behind women and children as the place weapons in homes, schools, hospitals, and Mosques? 

Are these media fools and celebrities overlooking that ordinary Arabs enjoy a better life in Israel than elsewhere in the Middle East? They may protest, but they refuse to leave Israel.

The face of evil in the United States.

To the terrorists -- men, women, and children who do not believe what they do are the enemy, to be cleansed from the Earth. Even more so, those among them who are not sufficiently observant or supportive of the cause are primary targets, as they will ignore killing a Jew to kill an Islamic apostate who has renounced the faith.

They have little fear of death as they have been taught from childhood that an honorable death for the cause while killing Jews will lead to paradise. They have been hardened to brutality as that is a daily occurrence in their society.

No matter what you may have been told, Islam is an intolerant religion of conflict incompatible with Western values of tolerance and respect for the civil rights of all.

Our political leadership, possibly having been bought by their money, has allowed them to enter the United States and their students to enroll in our schools where they learn advanced skills with military use as they foment anti-Jew, anti-Israel hatred.

Swarthmore-1

Communist dupes and useful idiots will be among the first to be killed by the terrorists.

Bottom line…

It is now time to call out those pseudo-intellectual academics, media individuals, politicians, and celebrities who see some form of moral equivalence or demand some proportionality when speaking about individuals who represent pure evil.

Wake up, folks, the terrorists are already here and existing in American cities – perhaps as your neighbor.

They aggregate in American cities until they are the dominant force, able to have their laws accepted by American jurisprudence and eventually dominate the political landscape. These are not the sleeper cells seeded throughout our nation but open pockets of resistance -- separated from America by their language, religious beliefs, and tacit support of terrorism.

As for those attempting to disarm citizens, especially of AR-15 style rifles and high-capacity magazines, look at what can happen in the blink of an eye -- ask yourself, where will the police be when you need protection?

We are so screwed.

QUEERS OF NEW YORK: BLIND AND STUPID

Once again, we find queer progressive communist democrats in New York proving, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are blind, stupid, and brainwashed by progressive ideology.

Queers

In what universe would you openly support individuals and organizations who want to torture and kill you?

In what world do you believe you can negotiate or buy off terrorists committed to their cause and think killing you is the same as killing a cockroach?

No matter what you have heard, you are not recognized as “one of them” and thus are fair game for torture and death.

For those who genuinely believe that Israel is an apartheid state, consider that you can hold a gay pride parade in Israel, but not in Gaza or the West Bank.

Pride and Prejudice: The Hellish Life of Gaza’s LGBTQ Community

Four gay men and one woman tell Haaretz what life is really like in a ‘homophobic society’ where pretending to be straight is often a matter of survival.

At risk of harassment, torture or worse from Hamas or members of their own families, queer Gazans often hide away in fear. In the Strip, “passing” as straight can be a matter of survival.

“It’s impossible in this community. I have met many homosexuals in Gaza online. But everyone is afraid of everyone. Some have been punished, some have been killed. Others killed themselves. While Tel Aviv welcomed thousands of international revelers to its Pride parade earlier this month, just 70 kilometers (44 miles) south, Gazans say they are deprived of their most basic human rights due to the Israeli and Egyptian blockade imposed in 2007 (after the Islamic group Hamas seized control of the enclave from its rival, Fatah).

Life can be even more challenging for lesbians in the Gaza Strip. In Gaza’s conservative society, women are often not allowed to leave their homes unaccompanied, impairing their ability to form same-sex relationships. <Source>

Yes, they are blockaded., not as punishment, but for the survival of their neighbors who protect themselves from Hamas terrorists who have proven disruptive to even Arabs in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and elsewhere.

Bottom line…

If you want to protest, protest in areas that deny gay rights.

It's time to face reality: you are poseurs playacting at being protesters.

We are so screwed when the progressive communist democrats rationalize terrorism and provide credibility and funding to a purely evil group.

WILL THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF OBAMA ACOLYTES, MUZZLE ISRAEL?

Jihad

Traditionally, the United States has interfered in Israel’s defense operations by strongly urging them to heed the pro-Palestinian international community’s call to cease hostilities before achieving a lasting peace. It sets the stage for the next round of relatively low-level conflict plaguing Israeli citizens who face the horrors of massive unguided rocket attacks and continued terrorism.

Perhaps the best explanation for the current situation lies in the Palestinians’ continued rejection of a two-state solution since the United Nations historically proposed it. The current Palestinian political situation can be described as a kleptocracy where its leadership begs for international funds and then lines its own pockets with the proceeds while its people continue to suffer.

And uses terror attacks to provoke an Israeli response, creating manufactured media pointing to Israeli atrocities, followed by massive fundraising efforts.

It should be noted that even if a peaceful solution could be found, any Palestinian state would not be self-sufficient and lacks the political infrastructure for honest and ethical governance. 

Israel is now at war.

The facts are clear and undisputed. Hamas stunned Israel on Saturday, a day of religious observance, a holiday (Simchat Torah), and the 50th anniversary of the 1973 Yom Kippur sneak attack, with the most damaging surprise multi-front land-sea-air attack in decades. Thousands of rockets, murder and mayhem in the streets, and the kidnapping of Israeli citizens and soldiers – to be used as bargaining chips in future negotiations.

Benjamin Netanyahu:

Since this morning, the State of Israel has been at war.

Our first objective is to clear out the hostile forces that infiltrated our territory and restore the security and quiet to the communities that have been attacked.

The second objective, at the same time, is to exact an immense price from the enemy, within the Gaza Strip as well.

The third objective is to reinforce other fronts so that nobody should mistakenly join this war.

We are at war. In war, one needs to be level-headed. I call on all citizens of Israel to unite in order to achieve our highest goal – victory in the war.

Does anybody who has witnessed the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden and his inability to speak coherently -- or even read a teleprompter without mangling the message --believe that Biden can adequately respond to this ongoing international disaster?

The White House released the following statement to the press corps:

"Senior national security officials briefed the President this morning on the appalling Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel. The President will continue to receive updates and White House officials remain in close contact with Israeli partners."

Statement from President Joe Biden Condemning Terrorist Attacks in Israel

This morning, I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu about the horrific and ongoing attacks in Israel.  The United States unequivocally condemns this appalling assault against Israel by Hamas terrorists from Gaza, and I made clear to Prime Minister Netanyahu that we stand ready to offer all appropriate means of support to the Government and people of Israel. Terrorism is never justified. Israel has a right to defend itself and its people. The United States warns against any other party hostile to Israel seeking advantage in this situation.  My Administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering.

Jill and I are keeping in our prayers all of the families who have been hurt by this violence. We are heartbroken by the lives that have been tragically cut short and hope for a swift recovery for all those who have been wounded.

My team and I are tracking this situation closely, and I will remain in close touch with Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Statement from NSC Spokesperson Adrienne Watson Condemning Terrorist Attacks Against Israel

The United States unequivocally condemns the unprovoked attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians. There is never any justification for terrorism. We stand firmly with the Government and people of Israel and extend our condolences for the Israeli lives lost in these attacks.  National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has spoken to Israeli National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi and we remain in close contact with our Israeli partners.

Remarks by President Biden on the Terrorist Attacks In Israel

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Today, the people of Israel are under attack, orchestrated by a terrorist organization, Hamas.

In this moment of tragedy, I want to say to them and to the world and to terrorists everywhere that the United States stands with Israel. We will not ever fail to have their back.

We’ll make sure they have the help their citizens need and they can continue to defend themselves.

You know, the world has seen appalling images: thousands of rockets in the space of hours raining down on Israeli cities. When I got up this morning and started this at 7:30, 8 o’clock — my calls.

Hamas terrorists crossing into Israel killing not only Israeli soldiers, but Israeli civilians in the street, in their homes. Innocent people murdered, wounded, entire families taken hostage by Hamas just days after Israel marked the holiest of days on the Jewish calendar. It’s unconscionable.

You know, when I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu this morning, I told him the United States stands with the people of Israel in the face of this terrorist assaults. Israel has the right to defend itself and its people. Full stop.

There is never justification for terrorist acts.

And my administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering.

Let me say this as clearly as I can: This is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage. The world is watching.

I have also been in contact with the King of Jordan, spoken with members of Congress, directed my national security team
to engage with their Israeli counterparts — military to military, intelligence to intelligence, diplo- — diplomat to diplomat — to make sure Israel has what it needs.

I’ve also directed my team to remain in constant contact with leaders throughout the region, including Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, the UAE, as well as with our European partners and the Palestinian Authority.

This is also a terrible tragedy on a human level. It’s hurting innocent people — seeing the lives that have been broken by this, the families torn apart. It’s heart breaking.

And Jill and I are praying for those families who have been impacted by this violence. We grieve with those who have lost their loved their ones, lost a piece of their soul. We have hope for a swift recovery for many who have been wounded.

But we’re going to remain in close touch with Prime Minister — I, personally, am going to remain in close contact with Prime Minister Netanyahu as this situation continues to develop.

And let there be no mistake: The United States stands with the State of Israel, just as we have from the moment the United States became the first nation to recognize Israel, 11 minutes after its founding, 75 years ago.

Thank you very much.

[OCS: Does anyone believe that Joe Biden could have held this conversation? Or that Israel would not diplomatically go along with the charade?]

From the Department of State…

Secretary Blinken’s Call with Egyptian Foreign Minister Shoukry
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke today with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry about the horrific attacks on Israel and the urgency in achieving an immediate halt to the appalling assault by Hamas terrorists against Israel. The Secretary expressed appreciation for the Egyptian leadership’s ongoing efforts and reiterated the urgent need to halt the Hamas attacks.

Secretary Blinken’s Call with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke today with the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Prince Faisal bin Farhan to discuss today’s appalling attacks on Israel.  The Secretary reiterated Israel’s right to self-defense and called for coordinated efforts to achieve an immediate halt to the violent attacks by Hamas terrorists and other militants. The two sides agreed to remain in close coordination.

Saudi Arabia accused Israel of provoking Palestinian hostility after a lethal Hamas attack from Gaza that claimed scores of Israeli lives.

The kingdom calls for an immediate halt to the escalation between the two sides, the protection of civilians, and restraint,” the Saudi Foreign Ministry said Saturday, as Israeli Defense Forces engage in “gun battles” with Hamas terrorists. “The Kingdom recalls its repeated warnings of the dangers of the explosion of the situations as a result of the continued occupations, the deprivation of the Palestinian people of their legitimate rights, and the repeating of systematic provocation against its sanctities.” <Source>

Secretary Blinken’s Call with Palestinian Authority President Abbas

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke today with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.  The Secretary reiterated the United States’ unequivocal condemnation of the terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel,  and called on all leadership in the region to condemn them.  The Secretary urged the Palestinian Authority to continue and enhance steps to restore calm and stability in the West Bank. 

Secretary Blinken’s Calls with Israeli President Herzog and Foreign Minister Cohen

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke today with Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Foreign Minister Eli Cohen.  Secretary Blinken reiterated his condolences for the victims of the terrorist attacks against Israel and condemned those attacks in the strongest terms.  The Secretary reaffirmed the United States’ solidarity with the government and people of Israel.  Secretary Blinken also discussed measures to bolster Israel’s security. The Secretary underscored the United States’ unwavering support for Israel’s right to defend itself. 

Israel Under Attack

The United States unequivocally condemns the appalling attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israel, including civilians and civilian communities.  There is never any justification for terrorism. We stand in solidarity with the government and people of Israel, and extend our condolences for the Israeli lives lost in these attacks.  We will remain in close contact with our Israeli partners. The United States supports Israel’s right to defend itself. 

More pointedly, does anyone believe that the anti-Semitic progressive communist democrats are not secretly cheering on Hamas while simultaneously urging Israel to moderate its response to an undeniable act of war?

ba-1

The Palestinians try to legitimize the sneak attack…

President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas: “We have the right to defend ourselves against Israel and settler terrorism”

Hamas supreme military commander Mohammed Deif said the operation, Al-Aqsa Storm, was a declaration that ‘enough is enough’ as he urged Palestinians to confront Israel.

Bottom line…

Swi

How can this happen in a nation with one of the best intelligence services and operate in a state of perpetual readiness?

Did the U.S. CIA know about the attack, and withhold information?

Could it be that certain leftist individuals deliberately ignored the smoke signals and allowed this to happen to discredit the Netanyahu Administration, much like the January 6 activities in the United States.?

Leftist opposition leader Yair Lapid: "Prime Minister Netanyahu is aware that with the existing, highly polarized security cabinet, managing a war is not feasible," Lapid observed. "Israel needs the guidance of a skilled, seasoned, and accountable government. I am confident that former defense minister [Benny] Gantz would also align with such an administration."

Is this an Iranian operation to disrupt the potential Israel-Saudi normalization effort or to keep Israel occupied while they complete their nuclear weapons program.

Once again, the prescient words of Benjamin Netanyahu should be recalled. “The truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms, there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms, there would be no more war.”

We are so screwed.
