BLAME THE DEMOCRAT PARTY FOR GLOBAL MUSLIM TERRORISM?

During the Clinton, Bush, and Obama presidencies, Islamic Studies departments were created in numerous universities, and paid for by Islamic oil money.  These Islamic Studies departments were instrumental in the rise of student anti-Semitism on college campuses throughout the nation.  Jewish students in support of Israel were verbally and physically attacked by Muslims and their allies, the communist left. 

Biden, resign now!

On October 7, when Jews celebrated the giving of the Torah by God to the Jewish people, Hamas massacred more than 1,000 Jewish civilians in Israel, shouting "Allah Akbar" (Our God is greater) over their desecrated bodies. 

Children, women, and the elderly were raped, mutilated, and tortured in the name of Allah by a terrorist organization created with a sole mission to eradicate the Jewish state.  Hamas Charter, Article 28 states "Israel, by virtue of it being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims."

It was less than one month earlier that Joe Biden released $6 billion to Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism throughout the world whose stated mission is to eliminate the Jewish state of Israel. 

Hamas has admitted that the $6 billion freed up Iran's money supply.  It enabled Hamas to receive the needed weapons to carry out their massacre upon innocent civilians.   Since Iran is a well-known sponsor of worldwide terrorism with a parliament which regularly engages in shouts of "Death to America," it begs the question: Why would the Biden administration hand over $6 billion to a sworn enemy?  Giving aid to our enemy is clearly an act of treason; yet there have been no significant calls for his removal.  Perhaps the answer lies with Biden, a man who has never met a kickback he didn't accept.

Evidently, Iran's strategy was to bide their time and wait out President Trump's presidency.  They knew they had a friend in Biden. 

President Trump, unlike Biden, made it clear to the Iranian mullahs that any threat to the security of even one American would be met with full force. 

Consequently, during Trump's presidency the region was stable and quiet.  There were no Islamic terrorist attacks here at home, nor in Israel. 

Under his presidency, the Palestinian Authority offices in New York City and Washington, D.C. were closed.  Their refusal to recognize the Jewish state led Trump to withdraw all financial aid to them.  Additionally, he halted all financial aid to American college campuses which engaged in anti-Semitism. 

During the Clinton, Bush, and Obama presidencies, Islamic Studies departments were created in numerous universities, and paid for by Islamic oil money.  These Islamic Studies departments were instrumental in the rise of student anti-Semitism on college campuses throughout the nation.  Jewish students in support of Israel were verbally and physically attacked by Muslims and their allies, the communist left.

Iran's decision to wait out Trump's presidency proved to be successful.  Within a few weeks, all of President Trump's earlier acts in support of Israel and Jews were cancelled by Biden.  Instead, he allowed the P.A. to reopen their offices and financial aid to the "Palestinians" resumed.  Hamas and the P.A.'s Mahmoud Abbas recognized Biden as a friend.  It became obvious that Biden and his State Department intended to treat Israel as a pariah state.  No where was it more obvious than the day Biden refused to meet with the newly elected prime minister, Bibi Netanyahu.

The infamous act to hand over $6 billion to an enemy state was an act of treason; yet there were no calls for his removal.  Instead, Biden and his handlers resumed nuclear arms negotiations which had been cancelled under President Trump, and Biden appointed now disgraced Robert Malley to head the talks.  Since then, Malley has been charged with releasing classified information and his security clearance has been revoked.  Further, a pro-Iranian spy network operating within the Biden State Department and Pentagon was recently busted.   According to two independent news sources, Iranian government emails revealed Robert Malley helped fund, support, and direct Iranian intelligence operations to influence the United States.  Malley was the chief interlocutor with Iran for the United States under both the Obama and Biden administrations.  

Meanwhile, our open border is allowing Islamic fighters and sleeper cells to enter our country.  The danger from sleeper cells spreading throughout American cities cannot be understated.  We know 150 Islamic terrorists have entered our country.  There may be many more undetected ones.  These sleeper cells have the capacity when the time is ripe to conduct the same barbaric attacks terrorists carried out in Israel.  They are marching in our streets and holding rallies in support of mutilating children, women, and the elderly.  In Sydney, Australia, in front of the famous Sydney Opera House, they gathered with Hamas and Hezbollah flags with shouts of  "Gas the Jews!  Here in New York City, they gathered in Times Square with a warning to all Americans.  "Allah is supreme and there is no other God but Allah.”  They have shown the world who they really are and what atrocities they are willing to commit.  We must believe them.

While the world is in turmoil, Joe Biden has chosen to keep our southern border open and fly those who have entered our collective home without our permission to cities throughout our country.  It is a treasonous act worthy of removal.  For the good of the country, I call upon Congress and Americans of all persuasions to call for Biden's resignation. 

Biden, resign! Resign NOW!

Mark Levin: Everyone in Congress Needs to Read Alex Marlow’s ‘Breaking Biden’

Bestselling conservative author and commentator Mark Levin said that everyone in Congress needs to read Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow’s new book Breaking Biden: Exposing the Hidden Forces and Secret Money Machine Behind Joe Biden, His Family, and His Administration“This is a killer book,” Levin said. “If you want to know what the hell the Biden’s have been up to — you think you know about it, trust me, you don’t know about it.”

“I hope these various members of Congress read this book, particularly the House Oversight Committee, the Judiciary Committee, all these other committees, all the candidates really need to read this book and understand what they’re up against, ultimately,” Levin said during a Friday radio interview with Marlow about Breaking Biden.

Listen Below:

Levin also touched upon how well-researched Breaking Biden is, adding, “This is a killer book. If you want to know what the hell the Biden’s have been up to — you think you know about it, trust me, you don’t know about it.”

“He’s got more notes, more sourcing in this book than I’ve ever seen,” Levin said about Marlow’s research for the book.


Marlow explained that before writing his book he “had no idea who [Biden] was in terms of the extent of his policy failures, the extent that he has mortgaged our country to foreign lands, the extent to which his family has grifted off the back of the American public.”

“And that’s why I have to back it up with 1,600 total endnotes — 130 pages — because every time I approach a new subject matter, there is something different,” Marlow said. “If you don’t learn something on the first page, then you’re much more knowledgeable than I was going into the book. Every single page, there’s something new.” Despite the copious amount of research that went into the book, Levin praised it as “easy to digest.”

Marlow continued on why he set out to write the definitive book on Joe Biden:

It’s because the media hates this country, so they don’t tell the truth about people who are useful to them. This is why we don’t know him well enough. We’re told he’s a puppet. Well, sometimes goes it alone, like he did in Afghanistan. He ends up getting American servicemembers killed and droning children. We’re told he’s dumb, but he’s been saying all this dumb stuff for 50 years, and his family keeps making tens of millions of dollars off of crafty deals. We’re told he’s a blue collar guy, but he lived in a 10,000 square foot house with a ballroom. We’re told he’s a nice guy, but he’s also a deadbeat grandpa who doesn’t acknowledge his own grandkids. Everything we’ve been told about this guy is a lie. Most importantly that he is not the biggest threat right now to this country, because he is.

“There’s so much stuff in this book. Trust me, you’ve never read a lot of this. I have not,” Levin concurred.

“This is not ‘another Biden book.’ This is a standout book that really unravels his ideology, his methodology, his background, what it is that he really wants,” Levin said. “And we, the American people, need to understand — what you have done is you have taken all the veneer off this man.”

Breaking Biden is available now in hardcover, eBook, and audiobook read by the author.

AOC, Other ‘Squad’ Members Backed by Democratic Socialists of America Mum on Rally Cheering Hamas

US Representatives Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) speaks as, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (D-MN)(L), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) (2R), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) hold a press conference, to address remarks made by US President Donald Trump earlier in the day, at the US Capitol in Washington, DC on July 15, 2019. - President Donald …

Members of the progressive “squad” in Congress, who are affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), remained mum on the DSA’s rally in New York City on Sunday, which supported the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas and its attack on Israel over the weekend.

While Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who the DSA has regarded as its “foremost socialist superstar,” condemned the attack on Israel “in the strongest possible terms,” as Politico noted Sunday, she has not weighed in on the DSA’s rally in her home city. Breitbart News reached out to her office, asking where she stands regarding the rally, but received no response as of this publication.

She added in her statement that “an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation is urgently needed to save lives,” per Politico. 

The office of another member of the squad affiliated with the DSA, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), did not respond to Breitbart News’s comment request as of this publication, asking if she condemned or supported the rally. Tlaib, a Palestinian-American, said in a statement on Sunday she was grieving the “Palestinian and Israeli lives lost” but did not condemn Hamas’s attacks.

“The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance,” she added before blasting U.S. aid to Israel.

“As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue,” she said. 

Tlaib caught heat for her comments. Danny Danon, the 17th permanent representative for Israel to the United Nations, slammed her comments as “simply beyond belief”:

“While even the worst Israel bashers denounced the barbaric attacks by the Hamas terror group against innocent Israeli citizens, @RashidaTlaib is unable to condemn the atrocities and instead insists on mourning the death of terrorists,” he wrote. 

Notably, Tlaib’s second-to-last post on X as of this writing was a retweet from the DSA’s Detroit arm on Friday, a day before Hamas’s attack.

Another squad member, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), condemned the “horrific acts” that took place “in Israel against children, women, the elderly, and the unarmed” but did not weigh in on the DSA’s New York City rally. Breitbart News did not hear back on a comment request to a senior adviser for Omar at the time of publication. 

Similarly, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), who made news by pulling the fire alarm moments before the House was set to vote on a bill in an effort to avoid a government shutdown several weeks ago, came out against the terrorist attacks but has remained silent regarding the DSA’s rally in his home city. A Bowman press secretary had not responded to Breitbart News at the time of publication. 

“I strongly condemn the horrific attacks by Hamas and am saddened by the loss of precious lives, especially on the holy day of Simchat Torah,” he said Saturday in a statement.

Notably, the DSA in 2021 was up in arms over Bowman’s vote to fund Israel’s Iron Dome, calling it egregious, and was critical of a trip he took to Israel with J Street.

The silence from these four squad members is in contrast to some prominent Democrats, such as Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who condemned the rally, as Mondoweiss reported

“The people of Israel are facing violent terrorist attacks and civilian kidnappings,” Hochul tweeted. “I condemn plans to rally in Times Square tomorrow in support of the perpetrators of these horrific actions. The planned rally is abhorrent and morally repugnant.”

“I can’t think of anything more ill-timed and cold-hearted than today’s demonstration in Times Square,” Schumer scorned.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) held a rally in New York City’s Times Square on Sunday in support of the Palestinian terror group Hamas and its attack on Israel, which has thus far killed 700 and wounded over 2,000 Israeli civilians and soldiers.

The attack occurred on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the last festival of the High Holy Day cycle. More than 100 Israelis were also kidnapped to Gaza — including women, children, and the elderly, many of whom were abused during their abductions.

The DSA, which counts four Democratic members of Congress as members — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Rashida Tlaib (MI), Jamaal Bowman (NY), and Cori Bush (MO) — rallied in the heart of a city that was targeted by Islamic terrorists two decades ago.

In New York, pro-Hamas DSA demonstrators were met with a large group of pro-Israel counter-demonstrators:

In one image that has gone viral, a protester held up a swastika to taunt pro-Israel counter-demonstrators — many of whom were Jewish.

That gesture was particularly offensive, as scenes from Saturday’s terror evoked memories of the Holocaust for many Jews.

Joe Biden: At Least 11 Americans Killed in Hamas Terror Attacks in Israel, Others ‘Likely’ Held Hostage

President Joe Biden posted Monday evening on social media that at least 11 Americans were killed in Saturday’s terrorist attacks in Israel.

“As we continue to account for the horrors of the terrorist assault against Israel this weekend and the hundreds of civilians murdered, we are seeing the immense scale and reach of this tragedy,” Biden posted. “Sadly, we now know that at least 11 American citizens were among those killed.”

He — or whoever controls his account — also posted a black-and-white photo of him meeting with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer, and two other officials.

The post comes after Biden was slammed for hosting a BBQ with a live band on Sunday evening after it was known that at least four Americans were killed and an unknown number taken hostage.

Biden expressed sympathy in subsequent posts, adding:

It’s heart-wrenching. These families have been torn apart by inexcusable hatred and violence, and my heart goes out to every family impacted. The pain these families have endured, the enormity of their loss, and the agony of those still awaiting information is unfathomable.

In another post, he wrote:

The safety of American citizens is my top priority. We are still working to confirm but believe it is likely that American citizens may be among those being held by Hamas. I’ve directed my team to work with their Israeli counterparts on every aspect of the hostage crisis.

The confirmation of Americans being held hostage comes as Hamas has threatened to begin executing hostages on live television, conjuring up images of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) beheadings in 2015 that were filmed and released on the internet.

Young Israeli Parents Hid Twin Babies Before Being Murdered by Hamas; Twins Survived

A young Israeli couple was able to hide their ten-month-old twins before Hamas terrorists broke into their home and murdered them, the New York Post reported.

Itai and Hadar Berdichevsky, both 30, were attacked in their home in Kfar Gaza, a kibbutz in southern Israel located roughly three miles east of Gaza, the Post reported, citing the Israeli outlet Walla. The parents reportedly hid the infants in a bomb shelter before being murdered trying to fight off the terrorists.

“Israeli troops rescued the unharmed babies about 14 hours later and handed them to their grandmother,” according to the report.

Israeli Ambassador to Colombia Gali Dagan has hailed the parents as “heroes” who did “everything they could to save their children,” the Daily Mail reported.

“They hid their 10-month-old twin children in the shelter while terrorists infiltrated their home,” Dagan wrote on Twitter. “Itay and Hadar were brutally murdered after bravely fighting the terrorists.”

“The babies were left alone for more than 12 hours until they were rescued. Imagine the horror. Two terrified parents doing everything they can to save their children, who are now orphaned. Blessed be the memory of these heroes,” he continued.

The Palestinian terror group Hamas launched an attack early Saturday on Israel, which has thus far killed more than 900 people and wounded 2,500, according to reports. The attack occurred on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the last festival of the High Holy Day cycle.

More than 100 Israelis were also kidnapped to Gaza — including women, children, and the elderly, many of whom were abused during their abductions. In response to the attack, the Israeli Airforce has struck at least 1,000 terror targets in Gaza. Israel has also mobilized 300,000 reservists in the past 48 hours as its forces continue strikes against Hamas terror targets in Gaza.

The Palestinian terror attack against Israel has been referred to as the “worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.”

President Joe Biden said the death toll of Americans in connection to Hamas’s terror attack on Israel has risen from nine to 11, while more Americans are being held hostage by Hamas.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: How Hamas Took Israel by Surprise


Israeli Actor Seriously Wounded While Rescuing Families from Hamas

An Israeli actor, who is dating one of the country’s most well-known television journalists, was seriously wounded while rescuing families from Hamas gunmen near the Gaza Strip frontier over the weekend, the New York Post reported.

Thirty-year-old Yadin Gellman, a theater and film actor and a reservist in the Israeli military, sustained gunshot wounds to his chest, leg, and hand during a gunfight with Hamas terrorists. The terrorists had infiltrated Be’eri, a community situated two miles from the edge of the Gaza Strip, according to the report.

Gellman is the boyfriend of Adva Dado, a correspondent for N12 News in Israel, the Israeli news site Ynet reported. Gellman was rushed into emergency surgery after being shot and is reportedly in serious but stable condition, the report states.

“Thank you to everyone for your concern,” Dadon posted to her Instagram account. “Please pray for his well-being as well as that of the other wounded, the missing, and the heroic fighters who are risking their lives.”

The Palestinian terror group Hamas launched an attack early Saturday on Israel, which has thus far killed 900 people and wounded 2,500, according to reports. The attack occurred on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the last festival of the High Holy Day cycle. More than 100 Israelis were also kidnapped to Gaza — including women, children, and elderly, many of whom were abused during their abductions. In response to the attack, the Israeli Airforce has struck at least 1,000 terror targets in Gaza.

Gellman, who is being hailed as a hero, was reportedly sent to Be’eri “to root out Hamas gunmen who had infiltrated the kibbutz, leaving hundreds of families trapped in their homes,” the Post reported, citing Hebrew-language media reports. Sources close to Gellman told Israeli media outlets that he and other soldiers “saved many families.”

“Be’eri, a kibbutz that numbers around 1,000 residents, was overrun by heavily armed Hamas terrorists who managed to break through the unguarded fence surrounding the border,” according to the report. “Several residents of the kibbutz were killed.”

Dadon has been issuing live on-air reports “from towns near the Gaza frontier that have been subjected to nearly non-stop rocket and missile bombardment from Hamas militants based in the Strip,” the report states.

The Biden Regime Should Admit the Real Causes of the Jihad Against Israel

Twenty-two years after 9/11, the jihadis’ best friends are in the White House.

[Make sure to read Robert Spencer’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]

When Hamas launched its latest jihad war against Israel, the Biden regime’s initial response was mind-numbingly predictable. At 2:58AM on Saturday, the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted in Arabic: “The US Embassy is closely monitoring the security situation as a result of rockets being fired from Gaza through southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the infiltration of Hamas activists.” Yeah, “activists” with balaclavas and rifles, committing murder wherever they had the chance.

As if that weren’t bad enough, the same Office followed up at 3:24AM with an even more jaw-droppingly tone-deaf and wrongheaded statement: “We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred.” Of course, the low-level Biden regime foreign service wonks who knocked together this boilerplate said nothing about bankrolling the attacks and making them possible. The wonks continued: “We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”

In other words, Israel must not respond to the breaching of its borders and wholesale murder of its citizens. That would be a “retaliatory attack,” and would solve nothing. This statement was consistent with the stance of the Biden regime and American administrations going back years: after every jihad attack against Israel, no matter how brutal and bloodthirsty, the United States urges Israel to exercise the utmost restraint in defending itself, and not engage in a “disproportionate” response. The U.S. also would then urge Israel to make concessions to the Palestinian Arabs that would presumably pacify them.

This ignored the root causes of the conflict, which the U.S. government has been resolutely ignoring ever since jihadis with the same ideology as those who are fighting to destroy Israel struck our own country on September 11, 2001.

Media analysts are describing the latest attacks as a retaliation for Israel’s supposed desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque, or for “settlement” activity, and all the usual half-truths, distortions and outright lies that characterize establishment media coverage of Israel. Ultimately, however, this is happening not because of al-Aqsa, or because of any “occupation,” since the “occupation” is a propaganda fiction anyway. It’s happening because of the Islamic imperative to fight Jews.

A hadith says: “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.” (Sahih Muslim 6985) Read the beginning of the words attributed to Muhammad again: “The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight the Jews and the Muslims would kill them.”

So this is not a hadith about the “last day.” It is a hadith about the conditions under which the “last day” will come about, and how Muslims can bring about the “last day”: by killing Jews. The true believers of Hamas are busy doing it now.

In light of that, the Islamic State (ISIS) explains that Muslims’ struggle against Israel is eschatological, not political, although it acknowledges that analysts have generally missed this: “Most people have disregarded the Quranic characterization of the Jews and its aim. They have instead concerned themselves with a historical narrative of events, thereby deviating from the roots of the conflict.” These mistaken analysts, says ISIS, think that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict arose over “lands and possessions.” It asks: “Is there any pretext left on which someone can claim that the war with the Jews is not religious?”

This idea didn’t originate with ISIS. Many Muslim clerics have been saying it for years. According to The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process, Egyptian imam Muhammad Hussein Ya’qoub made the same point back in 2009 when he said: “If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. We will never love them. Absolutely not. The Jews are infidels—not because I say so, and not because they are killing Muslims, but because Allah said: ‘The Jews say that Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that Christ is the son of Allah. These are the words from their mouths. They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers before. May Allah fight them. How deluded they are.’ [Qur’an 9:30] It is Allah who said that they are infidels.”

Another Muslim cleric, Sheikh Said Al-Afani, contradicted the accepted wisdom in the West when he said: “Our hatred of them is purely on religious grounds, and not because of the pure, sacred land, which was blessed by Allah, or because of Gaza…not only because of Al-Aqsa and so on. We hate them, first and foremost, because of their enmity towards Allah, and because they slayed our prophets.”

Abdallah Jarbu, Hamas’ deputy minister of religious endowments, on Al-Aqsa TV on Feb. 28, 2010, condemned on Islamic grounds anyone who wants to negotiate with the Israelis: “I condemn whoever believes in normalizing relations with them, whoever supports sitting down with them, and whoever believes that they are human beings. They are not human beings. They are not people. They have no religion, no conscience, and no moral values.”

It is because of such views that Palestinian jihadis rape, torture, and murder Israeli civilians and then celebrate having done so. It is the resolute refusal of the Biden regime to acknowledge the Islamic aspect of the conflict that leads it to continue to prescribe the wrong solutions for that conflict, and to pressure Israel when it should be pressuring the Palestinians. Twenty-two years after 9/11, the jihadis’ best friends are in the White House.

FLASHBACK: Biden Officials Admit Palestinian Aid Money Likely To Benefit Hamas, Free Beacon Reports

(Photo by Ilia Yefimovich/Getty Images)
October 9, 2023

The Washington Free Beacon reported back in August that the Biden administration knew its Palestinian aid would benefit Hamas, the Iran-backed terrorist group that on Saturday attacked Israel.

Internal State Department documents from 2021 said that "Hamas could potentially derive indirect, unintentional benefit from U.S. assistance to Gaza"—a violation of laws that ban the government from giving taxpayer aid to Palestinian terror groups. The department wrote up the documents, which the watchdog group Protect the Public's Trust originally obtained, as the Biden administration publicly declared the aid would be "consistent with U.S. law."

The Biden administration in 2021 restarted U.S. taxpayer-funded payments to the Palestinians, which the Trump administration had cut off because of the Palestinian Authority's support for terrorists.

That report takes on new meaning in light of Hamas's attack on Israel, the worst in the Jewish state's history. As of Sunday, Hamas terrorists have killed more than 600 Israelis and wounded thousands more, taking at least 100 Israelis captive in Gaza, Reuters reported. The group also killed nine Americans, the State Department announced Monday. Photos and videos across social media show Hamas murdering, kidnapping, and raping Israeli civilians, including women, children, and the elderly.

The Biden administration just last month gave $6 billion to Iran, which supports Hamas and helped plan the terrorist group's attack, as part of a hostage exchange. That payment, the Free Beacon reported, "likely allowed Iran to reallocate significant parts of its budget—including funds it would have been forced to spend on food and medical aid—toward its global terror operations."

While the Biden administration says the deal had no connection to the attacks, policy analysts are skeptical of that claim. Former State Department adviser Gabriel Noronha said the payment "freed up huge reserves to ensure that Iran could continue this support" for Hamas, with Iran expert Jonathan Schanzer telling the Free Beacon that the hostage deal also encouraged Hamas's hostage-taking during this attack.

President Joe Biden is also facing sharp criticism from his Republican presidential rivals, the Associated Press reported, with former president Donald Trump saying the world sees the United States as "weak and ineffective" under Biden and Florida governor Ron DeSantis saying the president's policies have "helped to fill [Iran's] coffers."

Islamists, Leftists Support Hamas Murder, Rape and Torture of Israeli Civilians

"Demonstrators chanted “700,” apparently referring to the confirmed number of Israeli fatalities"

This is about good and evil. But that’s what it was always about. It’s just clearer now.

After the torture, rape and murder of Israeli civilians, the desecration of corpses, and taking women and children hostage, Islamists and leftists proudly stand with Hamas.

Cornel West called “for an end to the vicious U.S.-supported Israeli occupation” while claiming that the rape and murder of Israeli women was the “violent resistance to oppression is the desperate language of an occupied people.”

Jill Stein, the former Green Party candidate who is helping Cornel West’s presidential campaign, tweeted, “when a murderous occupation makes peaceful resistance impossible, it makes violent resistance inevitable.”

“The US-backed Israeli apartheid regime inflicts daily settler violence and terror on Palestinians. Israel is an occupying force. Palestinians have every right to resist it,” Code Pink tweeted.

The Democratic Society of America (DSA), the leftist insurgent group within the Democratic Party linked to the ‘Squad’, clearly picked its side.

The Democratic Socialists of America, which boasts six U.S. House of Representatives as members, announced a pro-“Palestine” rally in New York City’s Times Square on Sunday, a day after Hamas launched a surprise attack that killed 600 Israelis.

“In solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to resist 75 years of occupation and apartheid,” the New York City chapter of Democratic Socialists of America announced

The various anti-Israel rallies were explicit in support of Hamas.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators on Sunday in New York celebrated Hamas’s massive deadly terror attack against Israel, as supporters of the Jewish state held rallies to mourn and express outrage over the slaughter.

Several hundred pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied in Times Square, waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Resistance is justified,” “Globalize the intifada,” and “Smash the settler Zionist state.”

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” they chanted.

Among the pro-Palestinian side, the mood was celebratory and spiteful. Demonstrators chanted “700,” apparently referring to the confirmed number of Israeli fatalities in the attack so far, and held up the number seven on their hands while making throat-slitting gestures. Others flashed victory signs with their hands while shouting insults.

One man held up a picture of an Israeli hostage on his phone and waved it at the Israeli crowd. Another was seen brandishing an image of a swastika.

“The oppressed people of Palestine broke out of the open-air prison,” one speaker told the crowd, to cheers.

The press releases from the Muslim Brotherhood in America were equally predictable.

The U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), which includes CAIR, and claims to be the largest Muslim group in America, condemned Israel while making no mention of Hamas and its atrocities.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a leading Muslim civil rights group, expressed its “support for the Palestinian people’s right to freedom.”

The national chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, the leading pro-Palestinian college group, said, “Callous oppressors only know the language of destruction.”

“Palestine will not be liberated overnight. Liberation is a long-term process,” the group said on Instagram, falsely referring to Sderot and Netivot, targeted Israeli cities near the border with Gaza, as settlements. “We stand in solidarity with those who are oppressed, colonized and fighting for liberation.”

Students for Justice in Palestine chapters across the US, including at American University, Rutgers, UC San Diego, the University of Minnesota and San Jose State University, all celebrated “the resistance.”

In New York, the pro-Palestinian groups Within Our Lifetime, Samidoun, Decolonize This Place, Al-Awda and others announced rallies on Sunday in Times Square and on Monday at the Israeli consulate “to defend the heroic Palestinian resistance.”

31 organizations at Harvard joined in including the Harvard Islamic Society and other Islamic and allied leftist identity politics groups.

None of this is surprising. The question is how long until it hits home in the United States. This is not just something happening in Israel. It’s part of Islam’s war against the West. The enemy is here. And so are their collaborators.

This is Not About Israel, It’s About Islam

We can stand together or fight and die alone.

This war was declared over 1,000 years ago

Flying planes into skyscrapers, running over French pedestrians with a truck, massacring Indian families, and Israeli concertgoers is the same war.

Islamic terrorists and their allies try to make every attack about the specific context of a situation in a particular corner of the world.

That’s a lie that too many fall for.

Even countries that are the victims of Islamic terrorism often draw lines between the “good” and “bad” Islamic terrorism. We do it ourselves. But there is no such line. Whether a country is good or bad makes no difference. Islamic terrorists come for every country eventually. There is no major nation that has not faced Islamic terrorist attacks as long as it has a significant Muslim population within or near its borders.

America, India, Canada, Europe, Russia, China, Australia, Argentina, and Brazil (a planned Olympic massacre) are just a few of the examples. The smaller countries that have come under attack are nearly endless. If you exist, you’re a target.

Hamas is just an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood which is a global operation. Its Al Qaeda splinter group has carried out attacks all over the world.

What happened in Israel is not about Israel: it’s about Islam.

It’s all too easy to nod along with the propaganda, the claims about “Palestinian oppression”, and ignore the historical context of over 1,000 years of Islamic violence against non-Muslims that follow the same exact model, or the global reach of Islamic terrorism today.  The pattern is easy to spot and so people have to be indoctrinated into ignoring it.

So many have been told that they’re ‘Islamophobes’ if they notice Islamic terrorism, let alone condemn it. The politically correct alternative is to condemn the targets of Islamic terrorism instead. It’s easy and it’s safe to condemn Israel. And then to pretend that every country being attacked somehow had it coming. The only group that doesn’t have it coming are the Islamic terrorists.

The world has to break out of this Stockholm Syndrome before it’s too late.

9/11 wasn’t just about America. The Westgate Mall attack wasn’t just about Kenya. The Mumbai attack wasn’t just about India. The Bastille Day attack wasn’t just about France. The attacks in Israel now aren’t just about the Jewish State.

The world has a choice. We can stand together or fight and die alone.

Nolte: Democrats Tolerate Those Who Celebrate Savagery Against Jewish Children

Let’s say that Hamas was fighting a war against Israel, and by “war,” I mean a war-war, not a terrorist campaign. On one side, you would have Israel defending its territory. On the other, you would have Hamas looking to conquer Israel. Both sides are in uniform. Both sides are focused on wiping out the other’s capacity to make war.

Make no mistake about my allegiance. Even in that case, I would want Israel to salt the earth with the grinded-up bones of every Hamas fighter, but… In that case, I would find Western supporters of Hamas a little more tolerable.

Maybe they sincerely believe the anti-Israeli lies told over the decades, the antisemitic propaganda about “colonialism” and “Palestinians” not being a race manufactured out of thin air to aid in the destruction of the Jews.

What I mean is that, in that case, I could give those we see celebrating Hamas in GermanyLondonAmericaCanada, and elsewhere the benefit of the doubtMaybe they just don’t know. Maybe they have fallen for the Christiane Amanpour-ing of Israel. Maybe they sincerely believe Israel is a brutal occupation force and that Hamas is fighting the righteous fight of the occupied.

Well, this isn’t that.

This isn’t even close to that.

That’s not what these monsters who live among us in the West are cheering.

No, they are cheering — openly cheering — the kidnapping, torture, rape, and murder of girls, women, and old women. They are championing — openly championing — the cold-blooded slaughter of children, families, and the elderly. They are siding with —openly siding with — those using social media to celebrate the mutilation of raped, tortured, and murdered corpses.

Whether every video of the savages committing this slaughter is verified or accurate is not the point. The point is what those celebrating this attack on Israel believe, what those who paraded and cheered for Hamas in New York’s Times Square Saturday believe, and what they believe is that they are celebrating is the rape and murder of old women and the slaughter of children.

Do you understand who lives among us: those who openly celebrate the murder and rape of innocents, of children, of old women and young girls… Among us are those who watched the same social media videos we have all watched and then took to the streets to express their support.

Just as horrifying, just as morally obscene are those who tolerate those who celebrate savagery. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) deliberately released a cryptic statement meant to show support for Hamas.

“I have been in touch with communities impacted by what’s happening in the region. It is abhorrent. My heart is with all those impacted. We need peace in this region,” Whitmer wrote.

Yes, the poor, victimized “region.”

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) condemned the slaughter of innocents but then — if you read between the lines —demanded there be no justice or consequence for that slaughter by calling for a ceasefire. Only a fool can’t see through that.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has expressed her tolerance of this horror through 24 hours of radio silence, even as her fellow New Yorkers took to Times Square to celebrate open, medieval savagery.

Not a peep from Barack Obama.

Not a peep from Hillary Clinton.

We are watching unspeakable horrors, and America’s chief virtue signalers are either silent or dog-whistling their tolerance of those horrors.

Let me put it this way…

Will Democrats treat those who tolerate those who slaughter old women and children with even a speck of the contempt they hold for Trump supporters? Will Democrats call for the closing of bank accounts? Will the Democrats who run social media censor them? Will the Democrats who run the Deep State seek to frame them so they can be held without bail? Will the Democrats who run the corporate media make them famous, doxx them, or visit their homes with a camera crew? Will Democrats call for them to be deprogrammed?

If you’re looking for some cosmic answer as to what to do about this, I’m not your guy. All I know is that We the People elected these neo-Nazis, We the People, will re-elect them, and We the People are the problem.

Nothing can be done about that. No one can save the world. You can only lose what you do have by wasting your life driven by the narcissism of trying. What you can do is take advantage of America’s vastness and move your family out of the Democrat-run cities plagued with those who tolerate those who openly celebrate the rape and murder of children and old people.

What you can do is what you can do…

There’s still plenty of America to escape to. I fear this won’t last forever… But for right now, at least, that one option remains available.
