FNC’s Perino: Biden’s Speech Seemed Like Pages Were ‘Out of Order’
Fox News anchor Dana Perino said Thursday that President Joe Biden’s address to the nation seemed like the pages were out of order.
Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume said, “I think it may be remembered as one of the best, if not the best, speeches of his presidency. He was firm, he was unequivocal, he was strong, as he has been particularly in recent days before he went to Israel and while he was over there.”
Perino said, “I am a little out of my comfort zone because I almost always agree with Brit Hume. I wish we were sitting next to each other so I could hold his hand and watch that together again.’
She continued, “I didn’t think it was strong. I prepared to love this speech and stand up and cheer. At times I felt like we were reading a speech whose pages were mixed up out of order.”
She added, “He didn’t spend enough time talking about the atrocities of October 7th. He has a deep understanding of the pain and anti-semitism both abroad and at home. But he rushed that part of the speech. Then we are talking about Ukraine. Then back to Israel butt wait, then he brought in Taiwan. I thought we would hear something on the Southern border. I didn’t think it was as strong as it could have been. I wanted it to be strong.”

Fox News’ Brit Hume Gushes over Biden’s Address: ‘One of the Best, If Not the Best, Speeches of His Presidency’
President Joe Biden’s address to the nation on Thursday evening was “one of the best, if not the best, speeches of his presidency,” according to Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume.
Biden, in a rare Oval Office speech, attempted to link the wars in Ukraine and Israel together and pledged to deliver to Congress a funding request of what is estimated to be approximately $105 billion in aid. The proposal, which is scheduled to be unveiled Friday, will allot billions of dollars in assistance to the two countries, along with Taiwan.
“It’s a smart investment that’s going to pay dividends for American security for generations,” the president stated.

During his remarks, Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Palestinian terror group, Hamas, “represent different threats,” however they “share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy.”
Speaking with Fox News anchor Bret Baer, Hume lavished praised on Biden’s speech: “I think it may be remembered as one of the best, if not the best, speeches of his presidency. He was firm, he was unequivocal, he was strong, as he has been particularly in recent days before he went to Israel and while he was over there.”
Hume continued: “I was struck by the fact that he spent as much time as he did on Ukraine and I think it was a good thing that he did, because the aid for Ukraine package that he’s talking about, and further aid to Ukraine beyond that, is in jeopardy.”
The Fox News political analyst also praised Biden for his remarks on Iran.
“On two important counts, I think he did remarkably well and was quite strong, quite firm,” he said.
While Hume was thoroughly impressed with Biden’s speech, some Republican lawmakers were highly critical of the president’s remarks, specifically taking umbrage with tying together the wars in Israel and Ukraine.
“What Biden is doing is disgusting. He’s using dead children in Israel to sell his disastrous Ukraine policy to skeptical Americans,” Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) wrote on X.
“They are not the same countries, they are not the same problems, and this effort to use Israel for political cover is offensive,” the Ohio Republican added. “Hell no.”
Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) wrote on X: “A day ago, I told you Biden was going to demand Ukraine and Israeli defense funding be bundled. Tonight, Biden confirmed it. Here’s what I will confirm: We must protect the American homeland. We must reject Hamas and their allies in Congress. And we must stop funding the failed proxy war in Ukraine. The appropriations must be separate. FULL STOP
“It’s a smart investment that’s going to pay dividends for American security for generations,” the president stated.
Report: Hamas Leader Urges Worldwide ‘Mobilization’ on Friday
Ismail Haniyeh, Chairman of Hamas’s Political Bureau, called on Thursday for Arabs and Muslims to engage in “general mobilization” across the globe on Friday and urged for sympathizers of the terror organization in nearby countries to march toward the Jewish state’s borders, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Haniyeh’s call to action comes as Israel prepares to expand its military operations in Gaza against Hamas, which launched a shocking terror attack on the Jewish state on October 7 that has left more than 1,400 people dead and another 3,400 people wounded. Terrorists took 203 hostages into Gaza and over 100 people are still considered missing, with 30 captives believed to be children.

Last week, Hamas called on Muslims worldwide to hold a “Day of Jihad,” or holy war, on October 13th.
“We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world,” the terror group said on October 10, according to Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
“It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively. It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes. It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa,” the terror group added. “It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger.”
Hamas’s call for a global “Day of Jihad” sent a chill down the spines of Jews around the world. The call prompted the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to direct all officers to report for duty in uniform on the 13th. Some Jewish schools chose not to open on Friday, citing advice received from security firms they employ.

“This isn’t about Israel — it’s about Jews. And that’s what’s so horrifying,” one parent told the New York Post.
Meanwhile, outrage against Israel has risen in recent days after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was falsely accused of launching an airstrike on the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City.
Initial reports, which originated from Hamas, claimed the strike on the hospital was carried out by Israel. Several corporate media outlets and lawmakers, namely Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), amplified such reports:
WATCH — Media Repeat Hamas Propaganda on Hospital Blast; Israel Shows Evidence Terrorist Rocket Responsible:
Joel B. Pollak / Breitbart NewsThe IDF launched an investigation into the explosion and quickly concluded the hospital had been hit by a Palestinian rocket by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Later, IDF spokesman Lt. Col. (res.) Jonathan Conricus, speaking to CNN, further elaborate on Israel’s findings, which showed the Jewish state was not responsive for the blast:
While in Israel, President Joe Biden said he concurred with the IDF’s assessment, citing data presented to him by the Department of Defense.
“Based on the information we have seen today it appears the result of an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza,” Biden said.
Nonetheless, the false claim against Israel sparked angry mobs throughout the Middle East and North Africa, which targeted Israeli, American, and other Western embassies. Additionally, a mob took to the streets of the Jordanian capital of Amman and attempted to force their way into the Israeli embassy.
Hamas Chief: Israel is Only the First Target
Why would anyone expect anything different?

Mahmoud al-Zahar is the chief political guide of Hamas. He doesn’t mince words about the goal of terror group. It’s not just to destroy Israel and to replace it with a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea.” It’s not just about killing every last Jew on the planet. No, the fanatical True Believers of Hamas aim at nothing less than creating a world where Islam dominates everywhere, and everywhere, Muslims rule. Daniel Greenfield discussed this here, and here is more about what al-Zahar said less than a year ago: “WATCH: Israel is only the first target, warns Hamas commander,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, October 9, 2023:
Footage of senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar calling for world domination has resurfaced online.
“We believe in what our Prophet Muhammad said: “Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake, and I have seen its eastern and western ends. The dominion of my nation would reach those ends that have been drawn near me,” Zahar said in the video that was published on MEMRI TV in December of 2022.
“The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity and no killings and crimes like those being committed against the Palestinians, and against the Arabs in all the Arab countries, in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and other countries,” he said.
What does that mean? In this brave new world ruled by and for Muslims, there will be no place for Israel, but no place, either, for America, or France, or the U.K., or Italy, or Germany, or India, or Brazil. The entire planet will fall under the reign of Islam. One vast Dar al-Islam will cover the globe, and apparently there will not even be room for the most cringing of dhimmis to exist, making Al-Zahar’s hallucinatory goal far worse for non-Muslims than what they have heretofore endured under Muslim rule. They will no longer have the possibility of surviving as dhimmis, no matter how wretched; their only alternatives will be immediate conversion or death. In the glorious Islamic future that Al-Zahar is certain will come, there will be no place for other religions. There will be “no Zionism [i.e. Judaism]” and “no treacherous Christianity.”
To repeat: Mahmoud Al-Zahar, one of the co-founders of Hamas in 1987, and the most senior Hamas official still living in Gaza, has a goal that should alarm all non-Muslims. That goal, to repeat, is this:
“The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity.”
When Israeli troops finally enter Gaza to wipe out Hamas, they will be wiping out people who have fun as they decapitate babies and children, burn families alive in their houses, rape and murder young girls whose bodies they gleefully display on the back of trucks, posting photographs of an elderly lady’s corpse on Facebook so her relatives can see. The mutilations of bodies — the pulling out of entrails, the eyes gouged out, the genitals cut of and pushed into the mouths of the dead — these things Hamas has done, but the Israellis who saw the evidence haven’t been able to bring themselves to discuss publicly. This is Hamas, intent on removing from the earth all Jews and Christians, leaving the entire world to those whom Oriana Fallaci contemptuously described as the “sons of Allah.”
The next time a Hamas spokesman, his voice breaking with feigned despair at those terrible Israelis who for no reason at all are dropping bombs in Gaza, explains on radio or television that Hamas only wants to “free our people from the open-air prison we have been living in for more than 50 years,” be ready to remind him, and the too-gullible members of his audience, what Hamas’ co-founder set out just last December as the terror group’s objectives. That should provide a salutary shock for those who until now have been unaware of what Hamas intends to do, and what jihad means, and why, alas, that worldwide jihad will never end.
Pentagon CFO’s Chief of Staff Has Family Ties to Islamic Terrorism
But at least she has a degree in Islamic Studies.

[Make sure to read Daniel Greenfield’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]
In 2019, Yousra Fazili addressed a congressional hearing to complain about the arrest of her cousin by Indian authorities. The woman who now serves as Chief of Staff for the Pentagon Comptroller claimed that her cousin was the innocent victim of oppressive Indian authorities.
According to the daughter of Kashmiri Muslim immigrants, her cousin Mubeen Shah had been arrested under India’s Public Safety Act even though he was “not a politician or a dissident, he isn’t a freedom fighter, or even a kid in the street throwing stones. He’s just a businessman. His life’s work has focused on bringing economic opportunity to Kashmir.”
In reality, as the Hindu Post noted, Shah had “lionized Kashmiri jihadists, agreed with a description of convicted terrorists as ‘inspirations for the youth,’ and promised that ‘we all are ready to spill our blood’” to keep the region Muslim. On Facebook, Shah appeared to have posted a picture describing Mohammad Afzal Guru, an Islamic terrorist tied to the ‘The Army of Muhammad’, which is affiliated with Al Qaeda, as the “Pride of Kashmir”. Guru had been executed for his role in a December 2001 attack on the Indian parliament.
Fortunately for Shah, he had his Fazili family deeply embedded in America’s political establishment. Yousra’s sister, Sameera Fazili had been brought in as a senior policy advisor to Obama’s National Economic Council. And when Biden took office, she became the deputy assistant to the president and the deputy director of the National Economic Council.
When Shah was arrested, Sameera and Yousra Fazili “dialed friends in the State Department” and the State Department demanded information about him from the Indian government. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a radical leftist sympathetic to Islamic terrorists, agitated for his release.
Soon Shah was out and Yousra Fazili was in, joining her sister in a high-level position in the Biden administration. Where Sameera had worked on the economic side of things, Yousra became the Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs three years after agitating on behalf of a terrorist supporter.
It was incredible even by the standards of an administration that seemed to have abandoned even the most elementary forms of background checks and security screenings.
But worse was to come.
Yousra Fazili had studied Islamic religious law or sharia at Egypt’s Al-Azhar University before receiving a Master’s degree in Islamic Studies from Harvard. She was recorded showing up at the UN Economic and Social Council representing the International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations known as a Muslim Brotherhood operation. The IIFSO was co-founded by figures tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and Osama bin Laden.
But before long, Yousra Fazili appeared to be providing materials on Islam to federal contractors like Booz Allen Hamilton and then to the Defense Intelligence Agency. She made the leap to the Department of Defense, first serving as the Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs and now serves as the Chief of Staff to the Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer of the Pentagon.
But before that she was working for the state sponsor of Hamas.
Rep. Jack Bergman, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant general, wrote a letter to Secretary of Defense Austin, expressing his concern “about the security clearances and responsibilities entrusted to Yousra Fazili, the Chief of Staff for the Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer of the Pentagon” due to her past work as “‘strategic’ advisor to Meshal Al-Thani, the Qatari Ambassador to the U.S., for over three years.”
Qatar is a close ally of Iran, hosts Hamas leaders and has ties to Islamic terrorist groups all over the world. Reports link the Qatari royal family to Al Qaeda. The Islamic terror state harbored 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who escaped when Qatari officials allegedly tipped him off and he left on a “a specially equipped government executive jet, complete with blacked-out windows.”
Furthermore, as Rep. Bergman points out, Qatar was engaged in covert hostilities against the United States. Fazili worked for the “Qatari Ambassador at the time that her client was targeting prominent Americans in an effort to silence Qatar’s critics, including the then-Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Ed Royce, and the former acting head of the Central Intelligence Agency, Michael Morell.”
How does someone go from working for an ally of Iran and Hamas to a prominent position at the Pentagon in a matter of years?
The failure by the Biden administration and the Pentagon to perform even the most elementary vetting of Yousra Fazili is a massive national security failure. Yousra Fazili had testified on behalf of her cousin, while lying about his support for Islamic terrorists, and had publicly supported Islamic terrorists linked to Al Qaeda. The efforts by the Fazili sisters to rally support for him in the State Department should have made that public knowledge in D.C.
Yousra’s sister Sameera, despite her role in the Obama and the Biden administrations, also had a troubling past with extremist groups.
When Biden brought her into the National Economic Council, it was revealed that Sameera was a member of Stand With Kashmir (SWK) “which was founded by her cousin, Hafsa Kanjwal” and which had “praised and defended the actions of a number of violent Islamists” including Asiya Andrabi who had “met with Al Qaeda officials and told them that if ‘you belong to Sheikh Osama’s Al-Qaeda then you are very welcome because he was a legitimate leader of Jihad.’”
Her cousin, Hafsa Kanjwal appeared at a pro-Hamas rally and at foreign conference led by a former Palestinian Islamic Jihad board member, and called for Muslims operating in America to “put a check on American exceptionalism.” Finally she’s an instructor at The People’s Forum: an organization funded by a Chinese Communist based operation whose offices face a “red banner that reads, in Chinese, ‘Always Follow the Party’ and a “plate depicting Xi.”
How exactly does someone a few degrees of separation from Al Qaeda go on to serve as Chief of Staff for the Pentagon Comptroller?
The exposure of Yousra Fazili comes only a few weeks after it was revealed that Ariane Tabatabai, the Chief of Staff to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, had worked with an operation set up by the Iranian government and coordinated her congressional testimony with them. Despite published emails between Tabatabai and Iran, the Pentagon allowed her to keep her position and her security clearance.
“We have confirmed that Ms. Tabatabai’s employment and clearance processes were carried out in accordance with all appropriate laws and policies,” a Department of Defense official replied to Sen. Joni Ernst.
Two Muslim Pentagon Chiefs of Staff were shown to have worked with enemy nations. And the Defense Department and the Biden administration has chosen to keep them on the job.
When associates and employees of enemy governments that are tied to Islamic terrorism can waltz in and take high-ranking positions in the Department of Defense, national security no longer means anything. The Pentagon has been infiltrated by political hires who would have been disqualified from even being considered twenty years ago on the basis of their associations, their views and their links to enemy governments.
Now Iran and Qatar can plant their employees and catspaws at key positions throughout the Pentagon. And we wonder why our intelligence and our operations are so badly compromised.

From Munich to Gaza to America
Terrorist’s grandson, now in the U.S. Navy, touts “original glow that once graced the face of Islam.”
|

“I grew up in the crosshairs of the Israeli-Palestinian war in Gaza” and “the threat of terrorism has cast a long shadow on my life.” Even so, to impose “even more intensive vetting on the entire Muslim world would be dangerous and unconstitutional.” American Muslims “are proven to be peaceful contributors to our American economy and way of life,” and “moderate Muslims, like my friend and former colleague Rumana Ahmed, can help protect American lives and restore the original glow that once graced the face of Islam.”
Who is this who touts the “original glow” of Islam, lived in the shadow of terrorism, and grew up the crosshairs of the “Israeli-Palestinian war” in Gaza? It’s Ammar Campa-Najjar, writing in a February 25, 2017 commentary in The Hill, which bills him as “a Mexican-Palestinian American and former Obama campaign and administration official.” But there’s more to the man.
Ammar is the grandson of Muhammad Abu Yousef al-Najjar, mastermind of the Palestinian terrorists who abducted, tortured and murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972. Maybe that’s the “shadow” of terrorism he was talking about. Ammar is also the son of Palestinian Authority official Yasser Najjar. Ammar claims his father “migrated from the Middle East to America on a student visa,” met a Mexican-American lady named Abigail and raised a family in San Diego county, but there’s a problem here.
Back in 2003 Linda Gradstein of National Public Radio interviewed Yasser al-Najjar at his office in Gaza, where he served with the Palestinian Authority. Yasser was married, with four children but his wife and children were not named. After the Israelis killed Muhammad Abu Yousef al-Najjar, Yasser was a fugitive. Son Ammar has not documented Yasser’s move to the United States, or claims that he earned an MBA from San Diego State and started several clothing boutiques.
“I attended an Islamic school in San Diego as a child,” Ammar told The Hill. “The school was part of a mosque called Masjid Abu Bakr, where hundreds of people prayed and maintained strong relations with local elected and law enforcement officials. I knew of three men at that mosque, Khalid al-Mihdhar, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Hani Hanjour, who were issued visas. . . Those three men were among the 19 terrorist hijackers who carried out the September 11 attacks in 2001.” So maybe the relations with politicians and law enforcement were not that strong, and Ammar may have “known of” other terrorists in Gaza.
Why anybody would move there from San Diego, “America’s finest city,” is hard to fathom, but Ammar told the San Diego Union-Tribune he “lived in Gaza from ages 8 to 12.” Born in 1989, that would put Ammar’s Gaza stretch from 1997 to 2001, year of the 9/11 attack and “five years after President Bill Clinton got the Israelis and Palestinians to sign a peace agreement. Sadly, that peace didn’t last, and Gaza devolved into a war zone — the Second Intifada.” The former Obama official wasn’t done.
“As a proud Mexican Palestinian American, witnessing a U.S.-brokered peace collapse into a U.S.-funded war was an early lesson on how fragile things can be. I remember the first night of bombing, the entire city of Gaza had its electricity cut off, and I, my mom, stepmom, dad and younger brothers hid in the dark corner of a cold kitchen floor as Apache helicopters and F-16s leveled surrounding buildings and carpet-bombed the town for hours.”
Note the joint presence of “mom and stepmom.” Ammar has two mommies, and a daddy who allegedly “migrated to the USA on a student visa” but is also a Palestinian Authority official in Gaza. His own time in Gaza, Ammar told Rolling Stone, was “a very Obamaesque, Dreams of Your Father, situation.”
Despite attendance at an Islamic school that was part of a mosque, Ammar comes billed as a Christian. His mother is Catholic and as a teenager, “he spent time as a teenager living with a great-uncle who is a Catholic priest,” but the priest is not named or interviewed in the story. It’s not clear when, exactly, Ammar abandoned Islam but the story stuck. It was hardly the only example of deceptive behavior.
As La Prensa San Diego revealed, the Islamic student once went by the name Ammar Yasser Najjar, and only changed it to Ammar “Campa-Najjar” when he ran for Congress in 2018. Rolling Stone billed him as a “a rockstar Democratic candidate.” He ran as a progressive and lost to Duncan Hunter. In 2020, the son of Yasser Najjar styled himself as a moderate conservative and lost to Darrell Issa.
The congressional loser had never held public office or served on any local community board, commission, or civic group in the city of Chula Vista, near San Diego, where he ran for mayor in 2022. Despite more than 700 mail-in ballots with either non-matching or missing signatures, the Obama Democrat lost to Republican John McCann. In August, the former Obama White House official joined the U.S. Navy.
“Today, in front of my family, friends, my grandmother in heaven and God, I stood aboard the USS Midway and swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend our nation as a commissioned United States Navy Officer,” Ammar told People Magazine, quoting Winston Churchill that as a reservist he was now “twice the citizen.”
The former Ammar Yasser Najjar claimed he first tried to join up at age 17, but as People’s Virginia Chamlee explained, “his mother refused to sign off on the decision, due to his father being away at the time.” In similar style, Ammar told Robin Abcarian of the Los Angeles Times that “he’d always wanted to serve in the military, and even tried to enlist at 17 before his mother put a stop to it.”
Neither journalist specified whether that was the mother or the step-mother Ammar previously mentioned. And no comment from Yasser Najjar, the Palestinian Authority official in Gaza who somehow migrated to the USA on a student visa.
“The military doesn’t have the luxury of getting into these cultural disputes trying to divide us,” the officer told Abcarian. “Where some people have seen my heritage, my background as a liability, the Navy says those are not liabilities, they are assets. A command of the Arab language, fluent in Spanish, having lived in the Middle East, my cultural competency gives us a strategic advantage. . . My Arabic is actually more fluent than my Spanish.”
Abcarian found Campa-Najjar to be somewhat “guarded” but accepted his contention that he was done with politics, “at least for now.” The columnist might cast a glance at his Wikipedia entry.
“Ammar Campa-Najjar is a United States naval officer,” it begins, as though he had graduated Annapolis and commanded a carrier. His father Yasser Najjar “was an important internal critic of Palestinian hardliners” and during his time in Gaza, “he attempted to counteract the rising influence of Hamas.” Grandfather Muhammad Abu Yousef al-Najjar “has been the subject of significant controversy,” and so on.
On Sunday, nearly a thousand pro-Hamas demonstrators gathered in San Diego, but if the newly minted naval officer showed up, he did not speak to reporters. At this writing, his former White House colleague Rumana Ahmed has also been on the quiet side.
“In 2011, I was hired, straight out of college, to work at the White House and eventually the National Security Council,” Ahmed told the Atlantic in 2017. In that role, Ahmed became senior adviser to Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, a big-time promoter of the Iran deal. That was an easy sell to reporters, Rhodes quipped, because they “literally know nothing.”
If that seems a stretch, check out the establishment media reporting on the man formerly known as Ammar Nasser Najjar. He’s the Palestinian Mexican-American with two mommies, who moved to Gaza. He’s the Islamic school student who became a Christian and seeks to restore “the original glow that once graced the face of Islam.”
The rockstar Democratic candidate is in the Navy now, and a Senate seat is up for grabs. As Donald Trump likes to say, we’ll have to see what happens.

Sexual chaos in the Arab world drives some of its grotesque violence
During the attack on Israel, a member of Hamas grabs a Jewish girl. He lies down on top of her, comes to orgasm, stands up, and shoots her. What kind of sadistic twists were already present in his head that allowed the softness of sexual relations to be entwined with the violence of murder?
No one asks this question in America because it means looking deeper than most people want. But it needs to be asked since it is central to the problem of future peace or the lack thereof. Everyone knows there are cultural differences between people. Do some differences make it impossible to co-mingle groups? Yes, indeed! It is particularly true in the case of Arabs and Jews.
Sexuality between family members among the Jews is seen as destructive to family unity. Violations are condemned roundly. Among Arabs, sexuality is part of the family package. The most common manifestation is polygamy. Most American women expect exclusivity in marriage. It provides financial and social security, as well as clear lines of inheritance for their children.
This is a complex topic since most Arab males do not engage in polygamy. Nonetheless, it is incumbent upon Westerners to understand that polygamy may be the force that most disrupts relations between Arabs and Westerners, because it causes an unnatural social condition where there is a chronic shortage of women. If one man takes four wives, three men go without. It is an arithmetical inevitability.
Image: An Arab man with his three wives and two servants (1892-1893).
In the olden days, this problem was addressed by attacking neighboring villages to kill the men and take the girls and women. Always the strong killing the weak. Moreover, these extra men made up a willing army to go to war since success led to family life, status, and a slave to keep house while the husband sat at the coffee house with his friends. This situation is best described as “women as objects.”
For the man, sexual appetite was always to be fulfilled upon demand. This made for some really unhappy women. Failure of the woman to comply or be happy about it could easily lead to the entrance of a new and younger wife. All children belonged to the men, so divorce would lead to women alone on the street, bereft of their children and means of support.
Now, we get to the hub of things. All men of every culture have always been exempt from diaper changing. There has always been the small but not zero possibility of his making the child into a sexual object—boy or girl—especially if marital relations were strained. Unfortunately, this insight is true of women as well, especially under conditions of unhappiness.
There is also the issue of the ever-present pure ignorance of the consequences of early sexual arousal. The infant, toddler, or child—as an object—is not in control of the stimulation of the one or the other parent. It is my contention that such early stimulation creates a form of confusion of sexuality and violence on the one hand and affection on the other.
Non-sexual affection draws the youngest members of the family closer together with parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, and even the occasional strangers who enter the house like family friends. However, if sexuality is imposed by others (including all of the above), that makes people, particularly children, afraid of one another. Sex is always an imposition. Thus, the need for affection that undercuts the innate violence of the sexual act.
The thesis here is that the dysfunctional Arab family reflects how sexuality is manifest in the early lives of the children.
I want to be very clear: In general, good, nice, and kind people (including Muslims) have been protected socially and sexually during their earliest years. Later, such people can offer affection and manifest altruism.
Children who have been abused socially and/or sexually from infancy will show various levels of pathology as adults. This is a simplified understanding of adult psychopathology that can arise from multiple sources, but being used as a sexual object early in life is a form of violence that makes later sexual expression a problem for the individual, perhaps without an easy, or even any, solution.
Most males in the Western world could not seek affection and closeness during sexual expression and then stand up and kill their partners. In the United States, we lock people up who rape and then murder.
Social structures that induce anger between men and women become a systematic source of their individual pathologies. Here, the social pathology is a mixing of sexuality and violence. Thus, war and rape have always been linked.
Still, there are differences between cultures. A nitwit whose name I’ve deliberately forgotten wrote a master’s thesis at Hebrew University arguing that Israeli soldiers do not rape Arab women during war because the soldiers are racist.
No, nitwit! The confusion between anger and sex is the pathological state. Gazan men apparently have received the lion’s share of this confusion from their earliest childhoods, as demonstrated by their actions in Israel. This conflation of sex and anger rolls from one generation to the next with permission and support from cultural norms.
Islamic Jew-Hatred, Dhimmitude and the Doctrine of Sacred Space
For certain entities, the existence of Israel - and Jews - is intolerable.

In the wake of the savage HAMAS attack against Israel on the morning of 7 October 2023, many are waking up to its genocidal intent against Jews. Understandably, there are memories of pogroms past, of the horrific toll of the Holocaust, and references to “Nazis” and the “Einsatzgruppen”.
This time, though, as Israel prepares to do what must be done to wipe out the HAMAS presence in Gaza, we need to understand exactly who and what it is: an Islamic terror group, dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel and the killing of as many Jews as possible. We might start with the HAMAS Covenant, published in 1988, the year that HAMAS was formally established. Its opening lines tell us exactly who HAMAS is and why it exists:
“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it” (The Martyr, Imam Hassan alBanna, of blessed memory).
We’ll note here that this quote is from Hassan al-Banna, the 1928 founder of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. And here is the motto of the Muslim Brotherhood:
‘Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest aspiration.’
Why this fanatical hatred? We find the answer in the Qur’an, in the Islamic doctrine of Sacred Space, and the laws of dhimmitude. The Qur’an, believed by Muslims to be the literal word of Allah (the Arabic word for “God”), lays the foundation for HAMAS’ visceral Jew-hatred.
Those who reject (Truth) among the People of the Book [Christians and Jews]…will be in Hell-fire…They are the worst of creatures. (Q 98:6)
But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and kill the infidels wherever ye find them… (Q 9:5)
Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected Faith [Islam]…(Q 5:78)
The HAMAS Covenant also includes this quote from the hadith collection of Sahih Muslim:
Judgment Day will not come until you fight the Jews and kill them. The Jews will hide behind stones and trees, and the stones and trees will call: Oh, Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him…
Then there is the historical record, which informs us of the Islamic institution of dhimmitude and the doctrine of Sacred Space. As the armies of Islam overran formerly Christian and Jewish lands in the 7th century, there were too many to kill or convert; and so, beginning with the 638 CE Pact of Umar (the 2nd Caliph), the institution of the Ahl al-Dhimma was established to subjugate Christians and Jews to a rigid set of rules that would relegate them to a legally enforced inferior status intended to be so onerous as to compel them to convert to Islam.
Along with dhimmitude, the Muslim conquests developed a concept known as “Sacred Space”. That is, the Dar al-Islam (House of Islam) must conquer all the Dar al-Harb (House of War) because according to Islam, the entire world belongs to Islam and must be conquered and subjugated to it. Once conquered and/or occupied, such land is waqf, forever endowed to Muslims by Allah. Any such waqf, if ever lost to Islam, must be fought for by jihad until it is re-conquered.
As we look at the modern-day Jewish State of Israel, we can see that the Jewish people not only are no longer dhimmis but have established a powerful country in their ancestral homeland. These remarkable accomplishments are intolerable to the forces of jihad and help to explain why HAMAS and other Islamic terror groups like it have been so intent upon wiping Israel from the face of the map.
Stealth Jihad in American Education
Since the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas, college campus rallies in support of the barbaric act have erupted across the nation. Although world focus is on Israel, this is only one part of the global plan of Islam.
Islamic law -- Shari’ah -- requires Jihad to be waged as "warfare against non-Muslims” until all the world is under Islamic law. Jihadist doctrine is advanced by both violent techniques and “civilization jihad,” a stealth subversive effort to destroy Western civilization from within a nation by its own hand. The pattern of Islam is to use the courts, schools, art museums, and other major institutions including outreach to churches to infiltrate, gradually introduce Shari’ah, and then finally take over a nation. American education is a prime target.
For decades, billions of petro-dollars have been donated to American universities for the purpose of altering public opinion and U.S. foreign policies. This subversive shaping of the mindset has reached a wide swath of American society through students studying for careers in banking, business, law, public health, education, and urban studies. Through university outreach, programs on the Middle East are developed and provided to K-12 and adult education students.
Gifts to American universities are designed also to enhance the image of the Arab states and their rulers, effectively tamping down public criticism of Muslim hostility to Jews as well as Christians. One of the more recent donors and the largest investor in universities, Qatar has an image problem as a funder and supporter of both terrorist groups -- Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood -- and as home base to the rabidly anti-Israel, anti-American Al Jazeera.
Former English diplomat John Kelly noted, “They expect a return upon their donations to institutions of learning and their subsidies to publishing houses; whether it be in the form of subtle propaganda on behalf of Arab or Islamic causes, or the preferential admission of their nationals, however unqualified... or the publication of the kind of sycophantic flim-flam about themselves and their countries which now clutters sections of the Western press and even respectable periodical literature.”
Arab donations between 1986 and October 2022 totally nearly $11 billion with more than 10,000 contracts and gifts spread across 273 institutions. The total is grossly underestimated because numerous donations have gone unreported. Beginning with Aramco’s funding in the early 1950s, donors from Arab states have quietly made contributions to American universities, hijacking the field of Middle East Studies with faculty, including college presidents, who have been bought for 30 pieces of silver and are using their positions to advance political agendas that are pro-Arab/Palestinian, anti-Israel, and pro-radical Islam.
Though the far Left has never had any real political power, it has controlled the social and cultural narrative. During the summer of 2020, academics defended looting and/or supported the destruction of the nuclear family while Fortune 500 CEOs did nothing. The most extreme actions actually enjoyed greater publicity.
The brutality of Hamas in murdering babies, raping women, and taking the elderly and disabled as hostages was cheered on by left-wing student groups. Academics also weighed in. A Cornell University professor speaking at a recent pro-Palestine rally called the attacks “exhilarating.” A Stanford University instructor told her Jewish students to stand in a corner like “Israel does to Palestinians.” Other academics have posted their support on social media. Administrators remained silent.
Now
it seems the radical Left has gone too far. People are standing up and
saying enough is enough. It began with Bill Ackman, the hedge-fund
billionaire who learned of an open letter signed by over 30 student
groups from Harvard -- his alma mater -- that blamed Israel instead of
Hamas for the murders. Ackman and several other CEOs contacted Harvard
to get a list of the members of each Harvard organization that issued
the letter. They are refusing to hire anyone who signed the letter.
Job offers to some graduates already have been rescinded.
Marc Rowan, the chairman of the board of overseers at Wharton who donated $50 million to the school in 2018, called for donors to cease any further donations until the university’s leadership changes. Vahan Gureghian, a member of the University of Pennsylvania’s board of trustees, resigned. The Huntsman family announced they have closed their checkbook on all future giving to Penn. David Magerman, who helped build the trading systems of Renaissance Technologies, said he will cease funding to Penn. The 80th richest man in the world, Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and his wife Batia, resigned from the executive board of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
Others followed. Playboy cut ties with the porn star Mia Khalifa for cheerleading the massacres in Israel.
Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars are speaking up in support of Israel. Even TMZ got in on the game, reporting that Black Lives Matter Chicago has embraced the terrorism of Hamas. Sopranos fan sites to artists and comedians to any number of household names -- LeBron James. The Rock. Reese Witherspoon -- have also responded.
Meanwhile, all those rabid Harvard activists who gleefully signed a pro-murder statement were in a blind panic and tried to explain away their participation, saying they did not read the letter. Sure. Are we to believe that very smart Harvard students do not read before they sign? The public should beware of Harvard-educated lawyers. At the end, all students removed their names. They are learning that actions do have consequences.
First there was Bud Light and then Target, followed by the snowballing scandal surrounding Ibram Kendi’s antiracism center at Boston University. With the loss of donors, university administrations suddenly see the virtue in institutional neutrality. Harvard, Northwestern, and Stanford’s presidents have issued statements that they will cease responding to political, geopolitical, or social issues that do not directly impact the core mission of their universities. They should have adopted this policy long ago. These cocky academics seem to care little that the public has lost confidence in higher education and, more especially, in elite universities.
As Ackman pointed out, “None of these institutions are solvent without the support of their alumni. Perhaps this is the beginning of a catalyst for change.” The question is whether it is too late for these arrogant institutions to regain their reputations.
Most important is that no foreign money be allowed to flow into our educational institutions to shape the mindset of students and influence American policy to support a radical ideology. Since its birth in 1987, Hamas has declared its aim is to destroy Israel. The fact is this Islamic terrorist group intends to annihilate not just Jews but anyone who is not a Muslim.
The pro-Hamas rallies where students celebrated the mass murders and beheadings show just how successful the indoctrination has been. Since the United States shares with Israel the greatest number of the world's Jewish population, allowing radical Islamic indoctrination of students creates an enemy within and poses a dire threat to our national security.

Ex-Obama NLRB Counsel, 80 Professors Sign Petition Saying Hamas Atrocities are a Legit “Military Operation”
The mask is coming off.

We bomb ISIS, yet we fund CUNY.
The City University of New York has been transformed from a public university that let poor kids get a good education and succeed. They boast about how many Nobel laureates they’ve produced, but those days are behind them. Instead, CUNY has become an antisemitic terrorist hellhole where over 80 faculty members are willing to sign on to a statement saying that the murder of elderly women and children, the rape of women and the kidnapping of children is a “military operation”.
The petition begins with…
“We, the undersigned CUNY staff and faculty, strongly object to Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez’s efforts to censure expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian people. In advance of anti-apartheid rallies planned on multiple campuses, the Chancellor claimed that the organizers would ‘glorify Saturday’s [Oct. 7] violence and celebrate the killings, injuries and capture of innocent people.’ This baseless, prejudicial statement reproduces the racist, Islamophobic rhetoric that has accompanied the drumbeat for war.”
And then the petition proves that the chancellor was right as it argues that…
“there is also no equivalence between the October 7 military operation by Hamas and the subsequent military attack by the Israeli state, and certainly no equivalence to the systemic and the violence of Israeli settler colonialism.”
A military operation aimed at massacring and kidnapping civilians.
Signatories to this pro-rape and pro-kidnapping children petition include Marc Lamont Hill, who had already previously exposed his support for kidnapping and killing Jewish teens.
Other signatories include Jonathan Buchsbaum, a media studies professor and author of “Cinema and the Sandinistas: Filmmaking in Revolutionary Nicaragua” (I believe he was the protagonist of a Charlie Kaufman novel), Anna Stetsenko, a “developmental psychologist” from Russia, and Ellen Dichner, the Chief Counsel to the Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board under the Obama administration.
Meanwhile, Northwestern University’s Asian American Studies Programs issued an open letter condemning the “visible Islamophobia expressed in pro-Israel posters on NU’s campus falsely claiming that ‘Hamas is ISIS'” and described Hamas as a “political group”.
These are just a few examples of the mask coming off academia and the ugly vileness being revealed.
The enemies of civilization are showing themselves for who they are. The crimes they’re defending are indefensible, but from the gulags to Pol Pot to the suicide bombs, they were always indefensible.

Congress Can End the Nonprofit Status of Pro-Hamas Groups
The IRS has allowed Pro-Hamas groups to benefit from tax-exempt status.
|

“We give our heart, we give our life, we give our blood to the Palestinian people,” Manolo De Los Santos of The People’s Forum declared at a pro-Hamas rally in Manhattan. “Continue to resist. We stand with you. By any means necessary.”
“By any means,” the crowd chanted. A code phrase for violence and terrorism.
“We will use whatever we have in our hands,: De Los Santos continued. “A rock or something else. We will defend the Palestinian people.”
DeSantos had previously tweeted a celebratory Hamas video using paragliders and then armed terrorists attacking Israel with the message, “Long Live the Palestinian Resistance!”
In an official statement, The People’s Forum described the Hamas attacks that murdered over 1,000 Israeli civilians, the elderly, women and children, as an “unprecedented liberation struggle” by “Palestinian resistance factions”.
When it isn’t supporting the rape of women and the kidnapping of children, it’s promoting North Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba, and celebrating the “hopes and aspirations of more than a million people who joined the American Communist Party.”
And The People’s Forum is also a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit approved by the IRS.
If the name sounds like a Chinese Communist front group, that’s because it’s funded by a Maoist millionaire named Neville Roy Singham who operates out of China and funds a network of organizations like The People’s Forum. Singham’s office faces “a red banner that reads, in Chinese, ‘Always Follow the Party.’ Resting on a shelf is a plate depicting Xi.”
Also there at the pro-Hamas rally in Manhattan was Nodutdol: a pro-North Korean organization demanding the “reunification” of Korea. South Korea has accused Nodutdol of being controlled by North Korea. The organization has claimed that North Korean defectors who risked their lives to escape are guilty of “imperialist propaganda” and that claims of atrocities are fictional. Despite that Nodutdol is embedded within the DSA and often takes part in pro-terrorist rallies.
On the same day as the Hamas attack, Nodutol tweeted “power to every Palestinian fighting for their freedom, and glory to every martyr who dies fighting. For every martyr that falls, a new one will rise.” Like The People’s Forum, Nodutol is a 501(c)(3) IRS approved tax-exempt charity.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center had previously profiled the IRS decision to continue providing tax-exempt status to the Alliance for Global Justice, a Marxist organization, which uses that status to sponsor Black Lives Matter chapters, the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition in support of a cop killer, as well as bail funds whose mission is freeing rioters and criminals.
Among the organizations AFGJ sponsors is the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network which was banned by Israel as a subsidiary of the PFLP terrorist organization.
Germany has announced that it’s also banning Samidoun as part of its crackdown on all Hamas activities in Germany. Despite that the IRS has yet to pull AFGJ’s tax-exempt status.
Samidoun responded to the Hamas attacks by promoting banners featuring “solidarity with Al Aqsa Flood”, the name of the Hamas operation, a rally calling for “solidarity with the heroic resistance”, and another one urging “let’s celebrate”.
Samidoun’s support for Hamas atrocities, including the kidnapping of Israeli women and children, was made clear in its Instagram post boasting that, “the resistance” is “seizing occupation settlers” and hailed the “resistance operation, titled the Al-Aqsa Flood by Mohammed Deif, commander in chief of the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas”.
There is no ambiguity whatsoever about Samidoun’s support for even the worst crimes of Hamas. Despite that it continues to benefit from AFGJ’s tax-exempt status which allows its fiscal sponsor to take in money from George Soros, the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation, and others.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center also exposed the support for Hamas by chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine. The national organization of Students for Justice in Palestine praised the Hamas attacks as a “historic win for the Palestinian resistance” and put out a ‘toolkit’ which explained that the Jewish victims were “not civilians” and could be freely targeted. Its poster for a ‘Day of Resistance’ featured an image of the paraglider that Hamas terrorists had used to massacre and rape young Israelis at a music festival.
Despite its support for terrorism, Students for Justice in Palestine enjoys nonprofit status.
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a Marxist-Leninist group, which promotes pro-terror content through its Fight Back News, celebrated the Hamas attacks, including the attacks on civilian communities which it cheered as “Palestinians have taken over the armed settlements that surround Gaza.”
“The Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS), the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and so many others represent the aspirations of a free people, Palestinians who insist on the end to occupation. Freedom Road Socialist Organization rejects the notion that freedom fighters are terrorists. We are proud to stand with the resistance,” it concluded.
The Communist group is funded through the Lucy Parsons Center, a radical bookstore in New York City named after a Communist activist, which enjoys nonprofit status. also issued a statement to “celebrate Palestinian Resistance!”
These are only a few of the examples of IRS approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit groups or those funded by them celebrating Hamas atrocities. This is in clear violation of the tax code which bars such activities.
IRS regulations specifically state that “exempt purposes may generally be equated with the public good, and violations of law are the antithesis of the public good”. They clearly lay out that, “violation of constitutionally valid laws is inconsistent with exemption under IRC 501(c)(3)” and that “planned activities that violate laws are not in furtherance of a charitable purpose”.
But the IRS has refused to enforce the rules and regulations against Islamic terrorists.
When Lori Lowenthal Marcus, a journalist, applied for tax exempt status for her pro-Israel group, the IRS informed her that it “has to give special scrutiny to organizations connected to Israel.”
Lori Lowenthal Marcus told Front Page Magazine that, “One of the excuses given to Z Street by an IRS official was that the IRS had to make sure we were not ‘engaged in terrorism’ because we mentioned ‘terror’ in our mission statement. The part of Z Street’s mission that mentioned terror? ‘We will not engage with, negotiate with or appease terrorists.’”
Offered clear examples of organizations that actually support terror, the IRS has done nothing.
Congress however could change that by regulating nonprofit groups that support terrorism. Taxpayers should not be subsidizing terrorists and their propagandists. And the tax code on this matter should not consist of general guidelines, but clear and unbreakable laws.
The IRS has failed to act. Congress can hold the IRS and pro-Hamas nonprofits accountable.
