PIG LAWYER JOE BIDEN KISSES MUSLM TERRORIST HAMAS' ASS - WILL REBUILD THE DESCTRUCTION THEY BROUGHT ON TO THEMSELVES EVEN AS BIDEN CAN'T DEFEND U.S. BORDERS WITH NARCOMEX

WHY DON'T WE DEPORT THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE BIDEN TO LIVE WITH THESE MUSLM  MURDERERS?!?!?

The reality, of course, is that hating non-Muslims is an Islamic command.  In the words of Koran 60:4, “We [Muslims] renounce you [non-Muslims]. Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us—till you believe in Allah alone.”  Such sentiments are to be applied to all non-Muslims—“even if they be their parents, children, siblings, or extended family,” says the Koran (58:22; see also 3:28, 4:89, 4:144, 5:54, 6:40, 9:23).  Based on such verses, any number of fatwas, authoritative Islamic decrees from venerable sheikhs, call on Muslims  to do things like hate their non-Muslim wives (while “physically” enjoying or benefitting from them) and to hate and be disloyal to the Western nations they reside in.


Biden Brings in Islamic Activists to Investigate U.S. Military for 'Extremism'

Muslim Brotherhood supporters to help Biden destroy American soldiers.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

A decade ago, Hina Shamsi was fighting on behalf of the Holy Land Foundation whose leaders had been convicted of providing material support to Hamas.

As the head of the ACLU’s National Security Project, Shamsi, a Pakistani citizen, had fought fiercely for the Islamic terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. “We all must pledge — not one person more in Guantanamo, not in our names,” she recently declared.

But now the Pakistani advocate for Islamic terrorists has a new job: going after our soldiers.

Shamsi (pictured above left) is one of the terror lawyers who appears on a list of partners for the Biden administration's crackdown on "extremism" in the military. The only kind of extremism that Shamsi appears to be an expert on is the Islamic kind and her expertise has been in denying it.

Furthermore, at least as of 2017, Shamsi had described herself as a Pakistan citizen with permanent legal residency in America.

She’s not the only apparent Pakistani citizen tasked by Biden to go after our troops.

Take Faiza Patel, another Pakistani immigrant, who co-wrote an article arguing against designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. The article claimed that "the Muslim Brotherhood is a religious organization, a political party, and a social service provider" and that it had "disavowed violence decades ago."

That would come as news to Hamas and its other active Jihadist network members.

In another co-written article, Faiza Patel claimed that laws against Sharia were Islamophobic.

Patel has worked for international organizations in Europe, including the International Criminal Tribunal, and was a member of a UN Human Rights Council working group which listed her as a member from Pakistan, not the United States, raising questions about her citizenship.

And yet Shamsi and Patel aren’t the worst of the list of partners for the Biden administration’s Countering Extremism Working Group (CEWG) published by OANN correspondent Jack Posobiec

While Biden's Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had announced the CEWG group to counter supposed "extremism" in the military, the list of CEWG partners contains a lot of Muslim lawyers and activists. In addition to Shamsi, there’s fellow Pakistani ACLU activist: Manar Waheed.

The list includes Wael Alzayat in his role as the CEO of Emgage. The national co-chair and founding member of the Islamic group is Khurrum Wahid who has been described as one of the country’s most prominent terror lawyers and whose clients include an Al Qaeda operative who plotted to kill President George W. Bush and Sami al-Arian who was linked to Islamic Jihad.

Wahid had been placed on a terrorist watch list and Emgage, as counterterrorism researcher Joe Kaufman noted, "holds events at terror-linked mosques”: including one founded by al-Arian.

Emgage's board includes Dhabah ‘Debbie’ Almontaser who was forced out of her old job over t-shirts reading “Intifada NYC”. Nada al Hanooti, Emgage's Executive Director for Michigan, is the daughter of Muthanna al Hanooti, a former CAIR leader who was accused of working for Saddam Hussein and Iraq's intelligence agency.

Is that the kind of extremism expertise that the Department of Defense really needs?

Also on the list of Biden's CEWG partners is Iman Boukadou:, the staff attorney for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).

The ADC has a long history of defending and excusing Islamic terrorism. "I know many people in Hamas. They are very respectable," its former president Hamzi Moghrabi had said. Former ADC president Hussein Ibish called Hezbollah “a disciplined and responsible liberation force” whose members “conducted themselves in an exemplary manner.”

Boukadoum was most recently hard at work fighting for Abdelhaleem Ashqar, who had been convicted of obstruction of justice in a case involving the flow of money to Hamas.

Ashqar ran for president of the Palestinian Authority while awaiting trial in the United States. He had argued that the evidence against him had come from a time when “Hamas was not designated as a terrorist organisation” and boasted that, “they wanted me to testify against my people. I said I'd rather die than betray my commitment to freedom and justice for Palestine."

American military personnel are being put at the mercy of advocates for their worst enemies.

Biden’s DOD radicals have assembled a list of activists who have absolutely no credibility when it comes to extremism. Multiple “partners” for Biden’s Countering Extremism Working Group have appeared at events for CAIR, ICNA, and other terror-linked organizations. Some have appeared at events featuring advocates for Islamic terrorism, sharia, and violence against non-Muslims. They’re the extremists that Americans should be concerned about.

It was not surprising that Biden's CEWG partner list would include multiple personnel from the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center including Heidi Beirich, formerly of the SPLC, currently running her own organization, the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, which barely has a website.

Or that the only conservative on the list is the First Liberty Institute. FLI's Michael Berry also appears to be the only person on Biden’s list who is qualified for this role as a Lt. Colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve who works as FLI's Director of Military Affairs.

But to Biden, defending Al Qaeda and Hamas terrorists, is the only qualification needed for going after American soldiers. That tells us everything we need to know about Biden’s goals.

Biden's Secretary of Defense Austin falsely claimed that, "this is not about politics or political views." His list of partners makes it abundantly clear that this is entirely about politics.

The list consists almost entirely of organizations and individuals who supported Biden.

And that makes this look even more like a political purge of the military by a radical administration that began its time in office by abusing the military for political purposes, and has made it clear that it intends to eliminate any opposition within the military to its political views.

But it’s striking that a third of Biden’s CEWG partners are Muslim. Especially since the Biden administration isn’t looking for another Nidal Hasan in the hopes of averting another Fort Hood Massacre, but is instead trying to rewrite history to pretend that the greatest threat to our national security comes from Biden’s political opponents rather than from his Islamist backers.

The Obama administration infamously dismantled our counterterrorism programs and replaced them with Countering Violent Extremism (CVE). Biden is dismantling CVE and siccing Islamist activists and their lawyers on the military to implement a ruthless purge of American soldiers.

Witnessing Gitmo lawyers licking their lips at the prospect of bringing the Jihad into the heart of the military against soldiers who bravely served our country but have no defense against being betrayed by their own government is as disheartening to us as it must be to them.

“Did we lose a war?” the ordinary American confronted with this reversal of terror may wonder.

And the answer is, “Yes, we did.”

“He will continue our Administration’s efforts to rebuild ties to, and support for, the Palestinian people and leaders, after years of neglect,” Biden said in a statement sent to reporters Monday.

Joe Biden Sending Antony Blinken to ‘Rebuild Ties’ with Palestinians

President Joe Biden announced Monday he would send Secretary of State Antony Blinken to signal support for the Palestinians, citing “years of neglect” in the region.

“He will continue our Administration’s efforts to rebuild ties to, and support for, the Palestinian people and leaders, after years of neglect,” Biden said in a statement sent to reporters Monday.

Biden was presumably referring to former President Donald Trump’s decision to end hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority and his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Since the eleven-day surge of violence in the region, Biden has repeatedly called for support of the Palestinians, even as the terrorist group Hamas launched dozens of rocket attacks against Israel from Gaza.

“It’s essential that the Palestinians in — on the West Bank be secured, that Abbas be recognized as a leader of the Palestinian people, which he is,” Biden said at a press conference Friday, vowing to rebuild Gaza “for all those innocent people who in fact have been hurt and — and had been collateral damage.”

In his statement, Biden said Blinken would coordinate international humanitarian assistance to Gaza “in a way that benefits the people there and not Hamas.”

He also said Blinken would meet with Israeli officials to discuss “our ironclad commitment to Israel’s security.”

Hamas Terror Chief Hails ‘Enormous Support’ From West

Hamas terror chief Ismail Haniyeh has praised the “enormous support” for the Palestinian cause amid ongoing pro-Palestinian protests in European capitals in which Israel has been compared to Nazi Germany.

In a speech which aired hours after Hamas and Israel agreed to a ceasefire Friday following an 11-day conflict, Haniyeh praised the “enormous support in the West and Europe.”

As Israel was being pummeled by more than 4,000 rockets launched from the Hamas-ruled Gaza over the past two weeks, hundreds of thousands took to the streets in dozens of cities all over the world to protest the Israel Defense Force’s (IDF) retaliatory strikes on terror targets in the Strip.

Over the weekend, fresh rallies across the U.S. took place, including in New York, Houston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Portland.

180,000 people attended a demonstration in London on Saturday, in which protesters likened Israel to Nazi Germany, claimed it had perpetrated a “Holocaust” against the Palestinians, and burned Israeli flags.

Placards had anti-Semitic slogans including, “Nazis are still around, they call themselves Zionists now” and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “surpasses Hitler in barbarism.” A week earlier, pro-Palestinian supporters in a convoy of cars were heard screaming, “F*** the Jews, f*** their mothers, rape their daughters.”

Thousands more also protested in several French cities, including the capital Paris.

In his speech, Haniyeh thanked Iran or providing funds and weapons to his Gaza-ruling terror group.

“I cannot but thank [Iran] who brought forth money and weaponry to the valiant resistance,” Haniyeh said, according to an English translation of his remarks by Press TV.

Haniyeh, who was speaking from Qatar, where he currently resides, also addressed the deadly clashes in Israel’s mixed Arab-Jewish cities as well as the Jewish state’s four recent normalization agreements with Arab nations.

“This battle has destroyed the project of ‘coexistence’ with the Israeli occupation, of the project ‘normalization’ with Israel,” he said.

We saw our Arab and Islamic nation arose, from east to west, in all its components and factions, behind Jerusalem and Palestine and the resistance,” Haniyeh said.

The recent conflict, Haniyeh declared,  “defeated the illusions of negotiations, defeated the deal of the century,” in reference to the Trump administration’s peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

It also “defeated the projects of normalizing (relations) with the Zionist occupation,” referring to the Trump-brokered normalization deals between four Arab countries and Israel.

“Resistance is the best strategic choice for liberation and return,” Haniyeh said.

He called the outcome of the conflict a “divine victory.”

Haniyeh also said that Hamas would stop at nothing until Jerusalem was “liberated”.

“Jerusalem is the axis of the struggle,” Haniyeh said, adding “Gaza rose up so as to defend Jerusalem.”

“Gaza bore the sword of Jerusalem with merit and dignity, and taught the enemy a lesson he shall not forget,” Haniyeh continued.

More than 4,000 rockets were launched at Israel from the Hamas-ruling Gaza Strip over a period of eleven days. The Israel Defense Forces carried out massive retaliatory strikes against terror targets in the coastal enclave. According to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, more than 230 Palestinians been killed, 59 of them children.

Israel says more than 150 of those killed were terrorists from Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups. Many, including children, were also killed by errant Hamas rockets. At least 450 rockets were misfired and landed within Gaza itself.

Twelve people in Israel, including a five-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, were killed by rockets, and hundreds more were injured.

WATCH: Pro-Palestinian Mob Attacks Car on the Streets of London

Brexit leader Nigel Farage declared that “London in 2021 is not a safe place to be” following footage emerging of pro-Palestinian activists attacking a car during a demonstration against Israel on Saturday.

London’s Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) said that the National Demonstration for Palestine passed without “any significant incidents”. However, in a statement, the Met did corroborate footage shared online of a band of Palestinian flag-waving thugs attacking a car that was passing by.

MyLondon reported on the incident, and the video was also shared on social media by Vivian Aisen, a diplomat and the director of public diplomacy at the Embassy of Israel in London.

Ms Aisen wrote on Twitter in the post accompanying the footage: “Crazy people walking free in the streets of London! #Hamas #ISIS #MuslimBrotherhood #Palestinian Islamic Jihad #Hezbollah #Iran: they are all the same. Jihad led ideologies, fighting the Western civilisation and the Judeo-Christian ethics. We need to fight back!”

Scotland Yard added that officers were also assaulted with makeshift missiles during the protest.

In total, police arrested seven men during the anti-Israel demonstration, with three arrested for violent disorder, two for going equipped to steal, one homophobic public order offence, and one racially aggravated public order offence.

Following hours of speeches in Hyde Park from Muslim and leftist activists, as well as from far-left Labour Party MPs including former leader Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell, Naz Shah, and Zarah Sultana, groups of activists began roaming the streets of the British capital.

“Damage was caused to a passing car and some missiles were thrown at officers. Efforts to engage with the group proved unsuccessful,” the Met said.

“In order to prevent a further breach of the peace and to ensure the safety of the wider community, the group was contained by officers and released in a controlled manner with those responsible for offences arrested and the remainder ordered to disperse,” the force added.

Sharing footage of the attack on the car, Brexit leader Nigel Farage said: “London in 2021 is not a safe place to be. Sadiq Khan and the Met police need to get a grip quickly.”

Chief Superintendent Andy Walker, who led the police operation during Saturday’s protest, said: “Today we saw a significant number of people gather in central London to take part in a demonstration. Our policing plan was successfully implemented and I am pleased that the main event was facilitated safely and without incident.

“We reacted quickly to the decision by a small group to break away from the main protest and where offences were identified, arrests were made.

“As we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic we are still striking a careful balance between the rights of demonstrators and the need to keep Londoners safe and prevent a resurgence of the virus. I am grateful to the majority of those who attended this event, and to our officers, for helping to achieve those objectives today.”

Amid the revival of violence in the Israel-Palestine conflict in recent weeks, there has also been an increase in antisemitic incidents in Britain.

Last Sunday, for example, a convoy of cars rolled through the streets of London waving Palestinian flags. One protester was heard shouting: “F*** the Jews”, “F*** their mothers”, “F*** their daughters”, and “Rape their daughters”.

Appearing on Sky News on Sunday, Isreal Embassy spokesman Ohad Zemet told Trevor Philips that he is deeply concerned about the rise of antisemitism in the UK.

“What we have seen is the same ideology that we’ve seen in Gaza, the same jihadi ideology… Now with social media we see it here, we’ve seen it in front of the Israeli embassy, Israeli flags torn up, rocks fired at the police, and this convoy, this ISIS-like convoy chanting death to Jews and rape to their daughters, this is appalling,” Zemet said.

Last Saturday, a similar ‘Free Palestine’ demonstration was held outside the Israel embassy in London. Police were attacked by radicals chanting “Allahu Akbar” while pelting officers with makeshift missiles and wooden sticks.

Twenty-three-year-old Waseem Awawdeh was held on a $10,000 bail following the Thursday incident in which he allegedly beat 29-year-old Joseph Borgen with crutches while also punching, kicking, and pepper-spraying the victim, according to the New York Post.


Report: Suspect Accused of Beating NYC Jewish Man Says ‘I Would Do It Again’

2:32

A Brooklyn man accused of beating a Jewish man during an attack in Midtown reportedly said from his jail cell he would “do it again,” prosecutors claimed Saturday.

Twenty-three-year-old Waseem Awawdeh was held on a $10,000 bail following the Thursday incident in which he allegedly beat 29-year-old Joseph Borgen with crutches while also punching, kicking, and pepper-spraying the victim, according to the New York Post.

“If I could do it again, I would do it again,” he reportedly told a jailer, according to a prosecutor present at Awawdeh’s arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court, adding, “I have no problem doing it again.”

After he was taken into custody in Midtown Manhattan, Awawdeh was charged with assault as a hate crime, gang assault, menacing, aggravated harassment as a hate crime, and criminal possession of a weapon, according to ABC 7.

The report continued:

The incident occurred amid dueling demonstrations over the deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group ruling the Gaza Strip. Pro-Israel and pro-Palestine protesters both took to the streets of Midtown Manhattan on Thursday evening, as a mutual cease-fire went into effect. At times, the two groups collided and fights broke out.

The initial attack was unprovoked, according to prosecutors who explained to Judge Kathryn Paek that Borgen was walking near Broadway and West 49th Street when the suspect “jumped him and attacked him.”

The Manhattan assistant district attorney alleged Awawdeh called Borgen a “dirty Jew” and also stated, “F–k Israel, Hamas is going to kill all of you.”

Friends of the suspect reportedly claimed Awawdeh came under attack first, according to the Post.

“They picked somebody that was weak, that was on crutches,” one person told the outlet.

On Saturday, the New York Police Department (NYPD) shared photos of the suspects involved in the case:

“I felt a liquid being poured on my face, and at first I thought I was getting urinated on,” Borgen, an accountant who resides on the Upper East Side, recalled.

“But it turned out I was getting Maced and pepper-sprayed. My face was on fire. That pain was worse than the concussion and all this other stuff that followed,” he said, adding the attack made him reconsider wearing his yarmulke in public.

Media Silent as Palestinian Mobs Attack Jewish Diners (Video)

There is nothing new under the sun about protesters on opposite sides clashing in the streets. There is something different, however, when innocent people who are minding their own business get attacked simply because they are of the same racial, ethnic, or religious stock of one of the parties to the protest. 

This happened in Los Angeles on May 18 and in New York City on May 20. In both cases, the victims were Jews and the attackers were Palestinians. 

In the Los Angeles neighborhood of Beverly Grove, Palestinian protesters asked diners "who's Jewish," and then started screaming "death to Jews." The mob turned over tables, beat up the diners—one was knifed—and hurled glasses at others. 

In New York, Jews who were dining out in the Jewish business district were called "f***ing Zionists," spat upon, and assaulted. This did not just happen in the Times Square Diamond District; it happened at several restaurants in New York City. 

The big media ignored what happened. While ABC and CNN covered the clash between protesters in Times Square (the CBS and NBC New York affiliates did as well), only Fox News covered the assault on Jewish diners. There has been nothing from the Associated Press, the New York Times, or the Washington Post.

Dov Hikind, a well-respected leader in New York's Jewish community, blasted New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo for their silence. Subsequently, de Blasio issued a tweet saying "anti-Semitism has NO place in our city." Cuomo said he "unequivocally condemn[s] these brutal attacks."

If we don't distinguish between protesters who clash in the street, and a mob that descends upon diners in a restaurant, we will only abet more of this savagery. The onus is on leaders in the Palestinian community to condemn these barbaric acts against innocent Jews.

Islamic Temper Tantrums

The psychology of jihad.

 

 8 comments

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

During recent court hearings in the UK, a pair of Islamic terrorists threw temper tantrums and resorted to asinine name calling.  They are Hashem Abedi, who was found guilty of “22 counts of murder, attempted murder and plotting to cause an explosion likely to endanger life over the terror attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester in 2017”; and Ahmed Hassan, “who planted the Parsons Green Tube bomb in September 2017 that injured 51 passengers.”

According to the report,

Hashem Abedi called a prison guard a ‘filthy pig’ in court today as he denied assaulting him.  Abedi …  entered a not guilty plea to assaulting Paul Edwards [by cutting his head, kicking him, and leaving him with permanent hearing loss] at Belmarsh prison in south-east London….  Asked to enter a plea to the first charge on Thursday, Abedi … told Westminster Magistrates’ Court: ‘I did assault that filthy pig, but I don’t see any harm in doing that.’… Ahmed Hassan, who also appeared in court, pleaded not guilty to assaulting Mr Edwards …  [A]ddressing the chief magistrate, he said:…  ‘I want you to know that I hate you very much because you are a judge, judging by other than the law of Allah.’

Of some interest is the fact that, while to the unsuspecting reader, the behavior and words of Abedi and Hassan appear childish, immature, and downright silly, so too do they perfectly conform to Islam’s own words and behavior.

Calling non-Muslims “pigs,” for example, is virtually as old as Islam itself, finds roots in the Koran, and is all but synonymous with “non-Muslims” as described in Muslim histories and chronicles. (King Alphonso VI of Castile-Leon, who inaugurated the Reconquista in 1085 by liberating Toledo from Islam, was known among his Muslim contemporaries, and subsequent Arab chroniclers, as “that Great Pig.”)

Similarly, saying “I did assault that filthy pig, but I don’t see any harm in doing that,” as Abedi said, is in keeping with Islamic doctrine: not only was the man he attacked an “infidel,” but, as a guard, he was exercising authority over the Muslim, Abedi—a scandalizing scenario from an Islamic point of view, since the natural place for all infidels (i.e., “pigs”) is to be at the feet of Muslims, not vice-versa.  As such, certainly Abedi didn’t “see any harm” in beating Edwards.

As for Ahmed Hassan’s assertion to his judge—“I want you to know that I hate you very much”—no doubt everyone present, including the judge, assumed that Hassan was merely expressing his anger and sense of powerlessness against the one passing judgement upon him.

The reality, of course, is that hating non-Muslims is an Islamic command.  In the words of Koran 60:4, “We [Muslims] renounce you [non-Muslims]. Enmity and hate shall forever reign between us—till you believe in Allah alone.”  Such sentiments are to be applied to all non-Muslims—“even if they be their parents, children, siblings, or extended family,” says the Koran (58:22; see also 3:28, 4:89, 4:144, 5:54, 6:40, 9:23).  Based on such verses, any number of fatwas, authoritative Islamic decrees from venerable sheikhs, call on Muslims  to do things like hate their non-Muslim wives (while “physically” enjoying or benefitting from them) and to hate and be disloyal to the Western nations they reside in.

In short, and as the Islamic State once explained in an unambiguously titled article, “Why We Hate You & Why We Fight You,”  “We hate you, first and foremost, because you are disbelievers.” 

Perhaps the ultimate lesson here is not that seemingly silly words and volatile behavior from Muslim terrorists have Islamic antecedents, but rather that Islamic jihad has always attracted the immature and criminal-prone.
