Senior Biden Adviser's Legal Group Pledges To Defend Hamas Sympathizers in New York City

CUNY's Ramzi Kassem has accused Israel of 'ethnic cleansing,' 'systematic genocide'

October 10, 2023

A legal group founded by a Biden administration official is pledging to defend Hamas sympathizers in New York City, where demonstrators on Sunday expressed support for the slaughtering of innocent Israelis.

Ramzi Kassem, a member of the president’s Domestic Policy Council, in 2009 founded CLEAR, a City University of New York project that offers free legal support to New York City Muslims. CLEAR said on Sunday it would ensure pro-Hamas demonstrators are "protected" as they "continue on until Palestine is liberated."

The guarantee of legal protection is likely to embolden those demonstrators, who flocked to Times Square on Sunday brandishing flags and signs with the slogan, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," which calls for the Jewish state's eradication. The protesters were expressing solidarity with the Iran-backed terrorist group's slaughtering of Israelis. One demonstrator argued that the killings were conducted in "self defense," while another displayed a swastika on his phone. Police arrested three people for disorderly conduct, though it is not clear if Kassem's group is defending them.

CLEAR's vow to protect terrorist sympathizers reflects the Biden administration's embrace of anti-Israel activists. Biden tapped Kassem, a City University of New York professor, to serve as a policy adviser on immigration last year. Before that, Kassem defended al-Qaeda terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay and has expressed his contempt for the Jewish state, arguing in a series of 1998 articles that Israel engages in "systematic genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" and that a Jewish majority in Israel is neither "viable" nor "desirable."

Neither the White House nor CLEAR returned requests for comment. An online bio for Kassem identifies the professor as a senior policy adviser for immigration at the White House Domestic Policy Council.

Sunday's Times Square demonstration, which took place one day after Hamas terrorists launched an unprecedented attack against Israel that left hundreds dead and hundreds more kidnapped and taken hostage, was hosted by the Democratic Socialists of America.

The party's New York City chapter on Saturday announced the "All Out for Palestine" demonstration, calling on its supporters to take to the streets "in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to resist 75 years of occupation and apartheid."

While some New York Democrats condemned the rally—Governor Kathy Hochul labeled it "abhorrent and morally repugnant," and New York City mayor Eric Adams called it "disgusting that this group of extremists would show support for terrorism"—others have direct ties to its organizers. Left-wing Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman, for example, are members of the Democratic Socialists of America's New York City chapter. Bowman has not commented on the rally. After more than a day of silence, meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez told Politico that the "bigotry and callousness expressed in Times Square on Sunday were unacceptable and harmful" in comments published Tuesday morning.

The Workers World Party, another socialist organization, also held an "Emergency Rally For Gaza" outside of the Israeli consulate—which the party called the "Zionist embassy"—on Monday afternoon. In a social media post announcing the event, the party declared its support for Hamas terrorism against Israel.

"We remain in unshakable solidarity with Palestinians who are resisting colonial occupation, and we defend their right to liberate themselves by any means necessary," the group said. On Saturday, meanwhile, Workers World Party published a statement from terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which urged "our heroic people across Palestine to actively participate in" the ongoing terrorism against Israelis.

Kassem is no stranger to representing controversial clients. The Biden adviser represented Ahmed al-Darbi, an Islamic terrorist who helped plan a 2002 attack on a French-flagged oil tanker and whose brother-in-law participated in the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Kassem himself has downplayed the 9/11 attacks, writing in a 2001 article that the attackers were not inherently evil.

"The perpetrators were probably not driven to their actions by some intrinsic evil or inherent hatred of the good United States," Kassem wrote. "The resentment these terrorists felt towards the United States was rooted in political realities shaped by our country's policies."

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up,” former President Barack Obama reportedly warned a fellow Democrat during the 2020 primary. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in 2014 that Biden “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

Biden’s record somehow has only gotten worse since he became president.

‘Gas the Jews’ doesn’t qualify as hate speech?

Muslims and anti-Semites around the world have gathered in recent days to celebrate the mass slaughter of Jews in Israel by Hamas terrorists.  Several cities in Europe, including London and Berlin, have been the sight of these unspeakably appalling — yet joyous — gatherings.  Various cities in North America, such as Montreal and New York, have also been witness to such madness and depravity.  BLM has thrown its support behind the Palestinian cause, as have, unsurprisingly, many campus groups across America.

In Australia, thousands of “Australians” gathered outside the Sydney Opera House to lose themselves in such zesty chants as "f--- the Jews!" and "gas the Jews!"  One person was arrested...for “breaching the peace” of the wannabe Jew-gassers by having the audacity to possess an Israeli flag.  Good on the local constabulary for dealing with him!

But might not “f--- the Jews” be considered hate speech in this day and age?  I mean, nearly all locales across the former penal colony have laws regulating hate speech as regards race and religion.  If “gas the Jews” doesn’t qualify, what would?  “Misgender the Jews”?

Crazed Hamas terrorists killed more than 250 mostly Israeli youths who were attending what many dubbed a “musical festival for peace.”  They slaughtered or took hostage — or both — women, children, and the elderly.  They reportedly beheaded dozens of babies.  Thousands of Israelis were killed or injured, more than in any one day since the concentration camps of the 1940s were in existence.  It is a new Holocaust.

Any individual or group “celebrating” this genocide-in-progress is beyond repulsive, beyond redemption.

Speaking of the difference between Western nations and terrorists, Benjamin Netanyahu once observed, “Here’s the difference between us.  We’re using missile defense to protect our civilians, and they're using their civilians to protect their missiles.”

In fact, Hamas has located its military headquarters under a hospital.

And there’s no cure for that kind of sickness.

Biden’s Team of Racists and Anti-Semites

An Anti-American coalition in the heart of the White House.

[Order David Horowitz’s book: The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian Movement is Destroying America.]

Editor’s note: Because of Hamas’ current barbaric terror attack inside Israel, it is vital to stress how the Biden administration has empowered the terror group in Gaza – and helped spawn its current destruction inside the Jewish state. Frontpage Editors have therefore deemed it urgent to run an article by David Horowitz and John Perazzo that originally appeared in PJMedia.com in its April 13, 2021 issue: Biden’s Team of Racists and Anti-Semites: An Anti-American Coalition in the Heart of the White House.

Don’t miss it!

Formally introducing his cabinet to the public, Joe Biden proudly declared: “This is the first [time] in American history that the Cabinet looks like America.” Looking at the actual appointments and not just the gender, skin color and ethnic origins of the Biden team, it is a team that may look like America but doesn’t think like America. In fact, it is a team whose outlook is anti-American.

Take Biden’s Vice Presidential choice, Kamala Harris, whose antipathy for America oozes from her every pore. At a February 2019 presidential campaign stop, for example she said Columbus Day should be replaced with “Indigenous People’s Day” because “we are the scene of a crime when it comes to what we did with slavery and Jim Crow and institutionalized racism in this country.”  This is an accurate summary of the way the Biden White House views its native land, and it is a view encapsulating three big lies.

What America did with the slave system it inherited from the British was end it. America’s abolition campaign began with its revolutionary proclamation that all men are created equal and have a God given right to liberty. America began implementing this right in 1787, the first year of its existence, with the enactment of the Northwest Ordinance, outlawing slavery in a territory the size of the original 13 colonies.  Within twenty years slavery was abolished in all the northern states. As for the “original sin” of enslaving the black Africans brought to this country that properly is the achievement of the Africans themselves who then sold their brothers and sisters to Europeans at slave auctions in Ghana and Benin.

All forms of institutional and systemic racism including Jim Crow were outlawed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In one of his first statements as president Biden claimed that “systemic racism” has been built into every aspect of our system.” This is a bald-faced lie. The opposite is the truth. Under the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, systemic racism is outlawed in America. With the exception of affirmative action policies sanctioned by the Supreme Court, there is no systemic racism in America,. If there were systemic racism, there would be a tsunami of legal suits to punish those who practiced it. There is no such tsunami because the claim is a baseless lie.

When 220 U.S. cities were attacked by criminal Black Lives Matter mobs last summer Kamala Harris called them “a coalition of conscience,” and supported the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which made bail payments on behalf of people who were arrested for criminal acts. At the time, Harris claimed that “the life of a Black person in America … has never been treated as fully human….” Tell that to the white majorities who elected Barack Obama the 43rd president of the United States twice. “America,” she claimed “has never fully addressed the systemic racism that has existed in our country.” Chinese communist propagandists couldn’t have framed this malicious indictment better. Not surprisingly Harris has praised racial arsonist and anti-Semite Al Sharpton as a “friend [who] has spent his life fighting for what’s right.”

Picking a cabinet and White House team by skin color and gender, is, of course, racist and “sexist” in their pure forms. Biden’s transgender Assistant Secretary of Health, Rachel Levine, picked to celebrate transgenderism is, in her actual political life, a criminal cohort of Andrew Cuomo, removing her own mother from a nursing home, as Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Health, while committing COVID-19 patients to nursing homes where they killed thousands of not so well-connected elderly residents.

Biden’s Assistant Attorney General in charge of Civil Rights, Kristen Clarke, is the first black woman to be appointed to the position. She is also a racist, praising Farrakhan disciple Tamika Mallory and holding the Farrakhanite view that melanin which is responsible for rich black skin color “endows blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities” than white people. Clarke has long embraced the doctrines of critical race theory, a crackpot racism which maintains that America is permanently racist to its core, and that consequently the nation’s various institutions and traditions are, by definition, invalid. In 2020, Clarke denounced the “systemic racism that pervades every aspect of our lives, especially when it comes to policing and the operation of the criminal justice system of our country.” For reasons already mentioned this is a racist invention. If police departments were systemically racist how explain all the black police chiefs running those departments in major American cities, or the absence of major lawsuits invoking the Civil Rights Act which outlaws such practices?

In November 2020, Clarke said that collegiate policies permitting black students to be admitted under far lower academic standards than Asian students are “critical for promoting diversity … in an increasingly multi-ethnic society.” This is the statement of a racist who puts skin color first and meritocracy at the end of the line.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield is the second black U.S. Ambassador to the UN. For those not addicted to the new racism in fashion in the Democrat Party, her maiden address to the UN General Assembly praising the malicious and historically illiterate  1619 Project, is cause for alarm. The project conceived by a black racist frames America as a nation defined by slavery and racism, and denies that white America played any role in liberating blacks or creating a society which has made them the richest, freest, most privileged blacks anywhere in the world, including black Africa and the Caribbean. Naturally she has praised the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization as a noble movement for “racial justice.”

Late in his presidency, Donald Trump issued an executive order establishing The 1776 Commission, an advisory committee designed to encourage American schools to provide students with a “patriotic education,” and to counter the America-hating narrative of critical race theory and the 1619 Project. Biden revoked Trump’s executive order — on grounds that the “systemic racism that has plagued our nation for far, far too long couldn’t be ignored any longer.” Susan Rice, his newly appointed Director of the United States Domestic Policy Council, warns Americans about “how serious  a problem we face from nationalists and white supremacists who have demonstrated a willingness to resort to violence in some instances.” On January 26, 2021, Rice said that “for too many American families, systemic racism and inequality in our economy, laws, and institutions still put[s] the American dream far out of reach.  She didn’t explain – if what she says is true – why the Biden administration isn’t suing all those nationalists and white supremacists for practicing institutional and systemic racism which was outlawed over fifty years ago by the Civil Rights Act.

When it comes to Biden’s Middle-East policy, the president has diligently deployed skin-color racism to put a team of anti-Semites and supporters of the terrorist regimes in Teheran, the West Bank and Gaza in charge. Chief among them, of course is Susan Rice. In 2015, Rice publicly lauded the Iran nuclear deal as the “most comprehensive and effective” anti-nuclear agreement ever devised. She has continued to support the deal ever since. When President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal in 2018, for instance, Rice falsely stated that “Iran has fully complied with its obligations,” and that the inspections authorized by the deal were “the most intrusive international inspection and monitoring regime in history.

Biden’s new Administrator of USAID, Samantha Power, is a dedicated opponent of Israel. During a 2002 interview  Power said that even if it meant “alienating a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import” (i.e., Jewish Americans), the United States should stop investing “billions of dollars” in “servicing Israel’s military,” and should invest that money instead “in the new state of Palestine” – a regime (not a state) that annually invests hundreds of millions of dollars in terrorism against men, women and children in the Jewish state. During a February 2016 UN Security Council debate on the Middle East, Power – then U.S. Ambassador to the UN equated Palestinian Arab acts of terrorism targeting Jews, with virtually non-existent “settler violence” by Jews in the West Bank. She also falsely portrayed the Palestinian Authority (PA) as an entity that was “pressing for calm,” when, in fact, the PA not only “pays Arabs huge sums of money to murder Jews,” but also “incites violence against innocent Jews in the PA’s speeches, official newspapers, social media, textbooks, schools, clubs, government-controlled mosques, government-controlled television specials, and government ceremonies honoring terrorists.”

Biden’s new Undersecretary of Defense,  Colin Kahlco-drafted the language that attempted – ultimately without success – to omit from the 2012 Democratic Party platform any reference to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In an August 2012 op-ed in Foreign Policy magazine, Kahl praised President Obama’s call to push Israel’s borders back to the 1949 Armistice lines, which would reward 70 years of Arab aggression and deprive Israel of defensible borders; to accept the creation of a Palestinian state governed by the terrorist organizations PLO and Hamas; and to reject the notion of Jerusalem as Israel’s undisputed capital. In the same article, Kahl blamed the poor living conditions of Palestinians on the “economically debilitating effects of Israeli occupation” – rather than on the Palestinian leaders’ massive corruption and ongoing terrorist aggression.

Biden’s new Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights, Uzra Zeya, is a former staffer at the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, a notoriously anti-Israel publication, where she compiled research for a book claiming that “the Israel lobby” had established a secret network of PACs that bribed and extorted congressional candidates into adopting positions favorable to Israel, thereby “subvert[ing] the American political process to take control of U.S. Middle East policy.”

Wendy Sherman, Biden’s Deputy Secretary of State nominee, has referred to the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat, the world’s most prolific Jew-killer since Hitler, as “the leader of a resistance movement,” while minimizing the moral horrors of Palestinian suicide bombings against innocent Israeli civilians as “nagging disruptions from the Palestinian side.”

In her 2018 book, Not for the Faint of Heart,” Sherman claimed that the Iran nuclear deal, which she helped to negotiate on behalf of the U.S., “was anchored” by: (a) “a common wish to make peace,” and (b) additional “higher principles” that would help facilitate a “reimagining of the world” whereby Americans might “see our adversaries not as eternal enemies, or dispensable ones, but as virtual partners.” Moreover, Sherman falsely claimed that the Iran deal would allow for “intrusive” and “scrupulous” inspections of Iranian nuclear sites.

Symone Sanders is the Senior Advisor and Chief Spokesperson to Vice President, Kamala Harris. Sanders was one of the 2020 Biden presidential campaign’s three senior advisers who apologized to radical Islamic organizations after Biden staffer Andrew Bates had tried to distance Biden from Linda Sarsour, a notorious Jew-hater who, despite supporting the Hamas-inspired Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement and having ties to numerous Islamic terrorist organizations, was a featured speaker at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. In addition to her apology, Sanders also retweeted a tweet by Emgage, a radical Islamist group, saying that Sarsour “has dedicated her career to fighting for justice.”

Biden’s new Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken,  is opposed to designating Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization and imposing sanctions on it, even though The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran established the IRGC explicitly to “strike terror into [the hearts of] the enemies of Allah” — meaning most prominently the U.S. and Israel — and to “expan[d] the sovereignty” of Islam across the globe. The IRGC’s “terror involvements” have included: “planning 9-11,” “murdering hundreds of American troops in Iraq,” promoting “Iranian nuclear proliferation and weapons delivery systems development,” and “providing weapons, training, funding, and logistical support to Iranian terrorist proxies.”

Biden’s new Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, is a signatory to a J Street letter arguing that the Democratic Party platform should incorporate additional criticism of Israel. The letter also draws a moral equivalence between Palestinian terrorists and their victims, Israeli Jews, by employing the phrase “violence, terrorism, and incitement from ALL sides.” Further, the letter rejects the notion of Israeli and Jewish sovereign rights in the historically Jewish lands of Judea and Samaria, and accuses Israel of perpetrating an “occupation” of Palestinian land. This is the lie genocidal Palestinian terrorists use to justify their unprovoked aggressions against the Jewish state, which was created – like Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Iraq – on land that belonged to the Turks for 400 years previously. Turks are not Palestinians or Arabs.

Biden’s new Deputy Director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs is Reema Dodin. In her student days at UC Berkeley, Dodin was a campus radical who organized a number of anti-Israel rallies. Among other things, she was a leader of the Muslim Students Association, a Muslim Brotherhood front. The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamic supremacist organization whose credo proclaims that “death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations.” Dodin described the 9/11 attacks as an understandable Islamic response to U.S. support for Israel, which was “angering” Muslims worldwide. Drawing a parallel between the 9/11 hijackers and Palestinian jihadists, she said: “[N]ow you have three generations of Palestinians born under occupation. Maybe if you start to look at Palestinians as human beings, you will stop the suicide bombers.” In a 2002 speech in California, Dodin justified suicide bombing as “the last resort of a desperate people.”

At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in 2010, Biden’s new Special U.S. Envoy for Iran, Robert Malley, called for the U.S. “to unveil a set of parameters” that included the creation of a Palestinian state along the “1967 borders,” which would have rewarded the Arab aggressors in the Six Day War and been suicidal for Israel. He also advocated: (a) the deployment of third-party armed forces in Judea-Samaria; (b) the forced relocation of hundreds of thousands of Jews from their homes in that region; and (c) Israel’s relinquishment of control of the Golan Heights to Syria, on the premise that Syria was “unlikely to sponsor militant groups … [or] destabilize the region … once an agreement has been reached.”

Biden’s new Senior Director for Intelligence Programs at the National Security Council is Maher Bitar. As a student at Georgetown University, Bitar was an executive board member of Students for Justice in Palestine, an organization that supports the Hamas terrorists and the BDS movement. A 2006 photo from that time period shows Bitar wearing a keffiyah – a terrorist emblem – while dancing in front of a banner reading, “Divest from Israel Apartheid.” At a Palestine Solidarity Movement conference at Georgetown in 2006, Bitar moderated a session that taught attendees how to demonize Israel as a nation guilty of “colonization,” “occupation,” and “oppression.”

Biden’s new Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israel and Palestinian Affairs is Hady Amr. In January 2002, Amr wrote: “I was inspired by the Palestinian Intifada.” Amr warned that Arabs “will never, never forget what the Israeli people, the Israeli military and Israeli democracy have done to Palestinian children. And there will be thousands who will seek to avenge these brutal murders of innocents.” He also accused Israel engaging in the “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians. Ethnic cleansing of Jews is of course the overt goal of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, whereas more than a million Palestinians are Israeli citizens with more rights than the Arabs of the West Bank and Gaza.

In sum, while the Biden White House may “look like” America, once one gets past skin color and gender, it is a team of racists and anti-Semites. “Diversity” is exposed as a racist rationale for assembling an anti-American coalition in the heart of the White House itself.

Nolte: President Pallets-of-Cash Obama Pretends to Care About Dead Israelis

Obama

If your goal is a pile of dead Israelis, send money to Iran. The more money you give to Iran, the more dead Israelis. Former President Barack Obama knows this, and still he sent the terrorist state of Iran pallets of cash.

“On Tuesday, the Obama administration finally admitted something its critics had long suspected,” my colleague John Hayward reported in late 2016. “The entire $1.7 billion tribute paid to Iran was tendered in cash — not just the initial $400 million infamously shipped to the Iranians in a cargo plane[.]”

“[A]t the same moment,” Hayward adds, “four American hostages were released.”

Okay, so maybe I should amend my opening statement…

How’s this: If your goal is a pile of dead Israelis with a side order of more American hostages, send money to Iran…

Yeah, that’s better.

And here we sit seven years later with the direct consequences of Obama not only appeasing the world’s worst terrorists but funding the world’s worst terrorists.

The first consequence arrived when Iran grabbed more American hostages. Hey, why not? If Obama gave us $1.7 billion — with a “B,” surely, Iran thought, the corrupt and feckless Joe Biden would sweeten the deal. And sweeten the deal Biden did. Biden pledged to release $6 billion — with a “B” — to Iran in exchange for releasing those five hostages. Oh, but that wasn’t enough. No, no, no, no… To really sweeten the deal, Biden made that pledge to Iran on the anniversary of 9/11 — September 11, 2023.

And then, less than four weeks after Iran was handed a $6 billion — with a “B” — line of credit by Hunter’s Dad, Iran’s proxy army, Hamas, launched a second Holocaust.

Hamas, flush with pallets of cash, flush with Biden’s line of credit, flush with the knowledge America is run by appeasers willing to kneel before Islamic terrorists on the anniversary of 9/11, rained 5,000 rockets on Israel, pulled old women and children from their homes, raped young girls, shot parents in front of their kids, and desecrated the corpses… And all of it was proudly broadcast on the Internet, which prompted Democrats from all over America to express their support for the terrorists.

Here’s another number to remember… 72.

That’s how many hours it took for Obama to figure out what to say about 1,000 raped, murdered, and desecrated Israelis — 72.

Obama said nothing for 72 hours, to then tweet this:

All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

What was Barry waiting for? Was the horror not quite horrific enough over the weekend? Did the videos of rapes and massacres and desecrations not reach his enlightened tolerance level for such things?

I have an opinion… I’m still allowed to have an opinion, correct? I think he was hoping for an out. I think he was hoping for something in the arena of public opinion that would allow him to make a both-sides statement like the one we saw from Michigan Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitler — oops, I mean Whitmer. I think Obama waited and waited until he couldn’t wait anymore and was forced to publicly call for dismantling the same Hamas he funded.

I want to be very, very, very clear about something.

When you fund Iran…

You fund Hamas…

And when you fund Hamas…

You fund piles of dead Israelis…

And the more money you give to Iran…

The more dead Israelis.

There’s no middle ground here.

There’s no, Oopsie, who knew?

Barry knew.

Barry hates Israel.

Joe knew.

Joe hates Israel.

Allow me to belabor the point…

Let’s say President Franklin Roosevelt funneled the equivalent of $7.7 billion to Adolph Hitler in 1940. What would that tell us about Roosevelt? What would that tell the European Jews about Roosevelt? What would that tell Germany about Roosevelt’s position on Hilter’s open desire to exterminate the Jews?

You Obama/Biden apologists need to explain the difference to me. Oh, wait, I can tell you the difference… By the time Obama’s pallets of cash reached Iran, Iran was a lot further along in killing Jews than Hitler was in 1940. Oh, and in 1940, Hitler was still trying to keep his Final Solution a secret. Iran has publicly boasted about exterminating Israel for five decades.

So, no, Barry doesn’t get a takeback.

Never forget that President Pallets-Of-Cash Obama enabled and encouraged horrors unseen since the Holocaust.

Never forget.

CNN’s Tapper: Last Few Days Really Eye-Opening to ‘Antisemitism on the Left’

0 seconds of 2 minutes, 33 secondsVolume 90%

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Tuesday on his show “The Lead” that after the Hamas terror attacks in Israel, the last few days have been a real eye-opening period “in terms of antisemitism on the left.”

Tapper said, “So you have a Democratic colleague from Michigan, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian American to serve in Congress, and she released a statement. ‘I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost. The path to peace must include lifting the blockade and, ending the occupation and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that could lead to resistance. As longs our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue.’ What was your reaction when you heard Congresswoman Tlaib’s statement?”

Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said, “To me, I think the hardest part, not just about that statement but a number of statements that have come out from organizations and individuals, I don’t question whether someone has the right to be angry at the Israeli government, I question their inability to condemn grievous, grievous violence and that is what has been difficult.”

Tapper said, “There does seem to be, look, we spent a lot of time during the Trump years looking at antisemitism on the right. This does. These last few days have been a real eye-opening period for a lot of people, a lot of Democrats and a lot progressives in terms of antisemitism on the left. A lot of people who seemed more shocks at dehumanizing language to describe Hamas than what Hamas actually perpetrated on Saturday.”

Slotkin said, “Yeah, I mean, look, antisemitism should be stamped out wherever it is on the right, or on the left.”

Almost Like Metaphysics: Democrats Use Issues to Push for Total Control

The Democrats are playing a game of hide-and-seek with voters.

The party hides what they are up to, and voters do very little seeking. The game revolves around the philosophical mystery at the core of the party.

Who are the Democrats?

What do they believe? Democrat leaders, especially the older ones, still speak the language of caring, but their policies say otherwise. They are no longer the party of the New Deal, offering an array of programs to help families, children, and working men and women. Instead, based on their current priorities, they are the party of the international managerial elite, as represented by Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. This international elite, hiding in plain sight, has its own agenda rarely reported on in the mainstream media, but it has been made public as the “Great Reset” of the World Economic Forum (WEF). The Great Reset has little to do with the well-being of the people in this country.

Two current issues provide insight into the philosophical foundation of Democrats today: transgenderism and climate change.

In polling, Democrat voters rank climate change as an important issue, but less important than health care, education, and abortion rights. Transgenderism is well down the list of voter priorities.

Transgenderism and climate change are problematic issues. Men cannot become women and women cannot become men. Gender is not a social construct, but a physical reality. No matter how often you assert the opposite, it will not become true.

Likewise climate change. “Everyone” knows that man-made climate change is destroying the planet. The “entire” scientific community is united in agreement. Both of these statements are false, but they are never debated. The science upon which climate catastrophe assertions are based is not settled. Just ask Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. John Clauser, who was recently cancelled for undermining the supposed monolithic climate orthodoxy.

Why are these two issues, each with a questionable foundation in reality, at the forefront of Democrat activism?

Because in the Democrat party today, it’s not about middle-class Americans; it’s not even about Americans anymore. It’s about the goals of the international managerial elite, and this reflects the philosophical change at the heart of the Democrat party. For Democrats, power is no longer a means of helping people, but an end-in-itself. The goal is to expand government power in order to remake society, and humanity itself. What is needed to advance these goals? Power. Control. That’s why they love communist China.

The WEF and the leftist Democrat elite here want to duplicate across the globe the CCP’s total control of the people.

Climate change is useful because it is a planet-threatening problem that requires systemic change enforced by the government, requiring ever-greater government control over our lives, like the Covid pandemic. Transgenderism is another power play, an attempt to override reality by government fiat. It places the state in the middle of the family, giving the state the last word on the question of the human person, fracturing the natural power structure of the family, and establishing the state as a competing authority with parents.

Transgenderism is a step towards creating a competing power center within the family. If it succeeds, other “children’s rights” issues will emerge. The radical international left wants all people, beginning as children, to have their principal relationship with the state, which they are determined to control. Pitting children against parents or a parent against a parent is an attack on our civilization. Civilization is founded upon interlocking communities of mutual support. The family is the ur-community of civil society.

A genuine community is impossible when everyone’s primary relationship is with the state. That is Communist China today. The end result is an atomistic society of separate individuals, all in relationship to a powerful state with no true human community. A master-slave relationship. The philosophical system at the heart of the Democrat party today is atomization, an idea as old as the 5th century B.C. philosopher Democritus.

Democritus imagined a wholly material world made up of atoms, indivisible individual particles, which bump up against each other combining and recombining in the void. There is no spiritual or metaphysical element in atomism; the philosophy is entirely materialistic. Philosophical atomism has no God or Creator, and no end toward which things tend. It proposes a universe of individual atoms and the void. It is a system of chaos, constant change without order, as atoms combine and recombine in different configurations.

Armed with this radical worldview, Democrats promote a sociological atomism founded on a Marxist view of the individual, who, acted on by economic and historical forces, is drawn into relationship with a state that protects them from these forces (like racism and sexism). Human society then becomes isolated individuals without real community, and the state is the sole guarantor of the individual, replacing family, tribe, community, and the entire civil society.

Like atomism, Marxism is entirely materialistic. No God, no human soul. No natural impulse for happiness and order. Human beings are animals responding to material stimuli. Governing is satisfying material wants. But freedom is a metaphysical concept. Freedom in such a system, as Rousseau declared in The Social Contract, is a concept founded in the community rather than an innate characteristic of the human person.

In Rousseau, and thinkers today on the radical left who follow his logic, human beings enjoy freedom when they align their individual will with the general will, when they conform their actions, their exercise of freedom, to the will how of the “community.” In other words, when you do what they say, not what you desire, then you are most free.

Elites are trying to reset the general will today through social media, the United Nations and the WEF, and issues like transgenderism and climate change. By forming a new “general” will, they are also creating a new concept of freedom. Transgenderism and climate change are fundamentally metaphysical issues: Do you believe in truth? Do you believe in individual freedom? Is there a limit on our ability to mold the world, including our bodies? Does might alone make right?

The international managerial elite does not want any limit on their ability to reshape the world. Metaphysics, God, and the human soul, with its own yearning and its own particular end, set a limit on what they can do and how they can accomplish it. Classical freedom is a hinderance to them, so they induce us to give it up little by little. We go along, too busy with the struggle of existence to worry that the foundations of our freedom might be at risk. We act as if the existence of those freedoms is unassailable. But that is not true.

The existence of God and the human soul set a limit because God and the destiny of each individual soul provides a framework, an order, that is different from the order that today’s elite wants to impose. The ancient world turned away from Democritus and materialist atomism because it presents a random, chaotic world based on perpetual change. Plato and Aristotle saw that, despite ongoing change in the world, change occurred against a background of observable order in the universe. Order is natural to the universe, and change is the operation of the natural order working itself out.

Our own experience tells us that all is not chaotic and ever-changing. We recognize order and see things that endure through the material changes in the world, like truth and justice. Material changes are a working out of that order in time. Thomas Hobbes, the philosopher who brought materialism into the modern era, gave us a vision of what life in a materialist, atomistic world would look like in his book, Leviathan. It was a world of chaos and violence, in which the people turn to an all-powerful state to impose order and security. Sound familiar?

With God and metaphysics banished, order is no longer natural, but something that must be imposed on a chaotic world. In exhaustion and fear, we will look for an external remedy and we will offer our freedom for it. As our Christian understanding of the world wilts, a rising tide of chaos is spreading in the world: chaos in our cities with crime and racial tension; chaos in our families with a blurring of what it means to be a man or woman; chaos at our border with illegals flooding into our country; chaos in our economy, where uncontrolled spending creates rampant inflation; and chaos in Europe with a destructive war. A lack of confidence in metaphysical order and growing chaos in society go hand-in-hand. That’s a powerful attack on the human person.

The next time you vote, trust the person who understands the realities of truth and freedom. Freedom the way you understand it, not a decadent idea of freedom. Don’t assume that you are guaranteed certain freedoms. Freedom in America is a custom, supported by the Constitution, but it can fade away.

What is at the core of the radical Democrat party of today? Nothing. The Democrat party of today has no soul, and no interest in your soul, and voters need to wake up to this new reality.

Alex Marlow: Joe Biden Bears Responsibility for Hamas’s Terror Attack on Israelis

We can’t say we weren’t warned. Joe Biden’s abject incompetence at foreign policy is legendary.

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up,” former President Barack Obama reportedly warned a fellow Democrat during the 2020 primary. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in 2014 that Biden “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

Biden’s record somehow has only gotten worse since he became president.

His Afghanistan withdrawal strategy lead to chaos, horror, and death – including for children and American servicemen. His Ukraine/Russia policy undoubtedly played a major role in Putin’s decision to invade. China has routinely humiliated the U.S. on the world stage. Biden is more responsible than any single person for the humanitarian crisis at the U.S./Mexico border. His efforts to keep America’s Southern border opens confirms that, stunningly, national security is simply not a priority for the U.S. President.

So, yeah, he’s wrong on every major foreign policy decision.

He staffed his foreign policy machine with grifters, dissemblers, and ideologues. Those who didn’t spend the Trump years hawking their services to the highest bidder were perched at think tanks, where they were no less at the mercy of foreign interests. Just last week, the Pentagon announced a probe into a Biden appointee over her cozy relationship with Iranian officials while promoting the nuclear deal as a scholarly “expert.”

Once in power, these phony “experts” have rarely even hinted at progress toward Middle East peace of any kind.

In fact, the region has been markedly more chaotic than the relative calm of the Trump years.

Despite Biden’s campaign promise for a return to “normal” foreign policy, this weekend’s blood bath carried out against Israelis by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists may well be his biggest foreign policy failure. For starters, Biden’s team appears to have been blindsided by the attacks. This should shock no one, since these same people have spent most of his term wrangling with allies in Saudi Arabia and Israel while trying to appease Iran (which wants us all dead).

In fact, in response to Hamas attacking Israel, the United States’ Office for Palestinian Affairs called for Israelis to “refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks.” (They have since deleted the offending tweet.)

There is a word for granting moral equivalence between terrorists and their victims: evil.

Upon taking office, Biden chilled the U.S.-Saudi alliance. President Joe will rarely, if ever, defy his left-wing base, and his base had become obsessed with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by the Saudis. This made it impossible for Biden to engage with the Saudis at a level necessary to forge a stronger peace in the region. Additionally, as my colleague Joel Pollak has noted, Biden paused arms sales to Saudi Arabia and “reopened negotiations with Iran toward a new nuclear deal over Saudi (and Israeli) objections.” Russia would be a key partner if a new Iran deal takes shape. The same people who told us that Vladimir Putin is the world’s greatest threat are perfectly fine pushing for a deal that elevates him on the world stage while empowering Iran. This is incoherent and irresponsible.

Since Biden has been president, the U.N. nuclear watchdog found that Iran has enriched uranium to near weapons-grade.

That doesn’t seem to bother Joe Biden, who recently released $6 billion in frozen funds to Iran as part of deal that included a prisoner swap. Iran funds and arms Hamas. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi declared “victory” after the latest terror attack in Israel. While the $6 billion hasn’t arrived yet, and it is supposed to be used specifically for peaceful purposes, money is fungible and padding Iran’s bank account obviously frees them up to fund more terror. Only liars and demagogues would pretend this is not how money works. What’s more, people (and countries) spend when they have the expectation of money coming in; they don’t necessarily wait for the check to arrive. That’s basic economics.

In fact, the Iranian President has said he’ll do whatever he wants with the money.

He is laughing at us. Literally.

But wait, there is more: Biden inexplicably revoked the terrorist designation of the Iran-backed Houthi terrorist group. He also pulled U.S. support for Yemen’s government against the Houthi rebels — in a country that sits across a narrow strait from a key U.S. naval base in Africa. All of this strengthens Iran.

Meanwhile, Biden has been icy to Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu, despite Bibi’s efforts to engage productively with President Joe. Biden and his team refused to meet with Israel’s duly elected government. They also restored funding to Palestine over internal objections that the aid could be diverted to Hamas.

U.S. weapons abandoned in Afghanistan — another catastrophe Joe Biden failed to see coming — are also believed to now be in the hands of Hamas.

As I document in my new book, Breaking Biden (the definitive book on Joe Biden’s record with a strong emphasis on his disastrous foreign policy), the Pentagon reported that the U.S. left $7.12 billion worth of military equipment in Afghanistan upon our departure. This includes aircraft, air-to-ground weaponry, other military vehicles, munitions, and communications equipment.

Here is some of what has reportedly fallen in the Taliban’s lap:

  • 208 aircraft, including UH-60 Black Hawks and M-17 helicopters, between 2003 and 2016
  • 61,000 military vehicles of all types, including more than 2,000 armored vehicles and Mine-Resistant, Ambush- Protected (MRAP) vehicles
  • 258,000 rifles, including M-16s and AK-47s
  • 56,000 machine guns
  • 31,000 rocket-propelled and handheld grenade launchers
  • 18,000 “gravity” bombs
  • 16,000 aviation rockets
  • 1,845 D-30 mortar systems with more than a million mortar rounds
  • 224 D-130 howitzer artillery guns 30 million rounds of ammunition 17,400 night-vision devices
  • 95 small drones
  • body armor
  • biometric security equipment

There were likely other beneficiaries of this bounty besides the Taliban. As I note in the book, sophisticated weaponry and convoys of military vehicles could easily have fallen into the hands of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps or other hostile actors in the region. Two months after the evacuation, in October 2021, U.S. supplies were already for sale by Afghani gun dealers.

It looks like we now know who got some of them: exactly the people we all feared.

As the disasters in the Middle East have mounted, the typically stubborn Biden has occasionally reversed course, meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent weeks. We were finally back on track for an historic deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, the framework for which was established under the Trump administration.

But this is all far too little, far too late. After Hamas’s terrorist attack, it would be a miracle if such a deal gets done now.

If it were in a vacuum, all the brutality would already be unthinkable. The systematic slaughter and murder of women. The preying on innocents. The stacking of bodies in the street. All of this is horrifying even for a region of the world known for constant war.

Yet it’s not in a vacuum. There is context. And the context is that the United States government under Joe Biden has signaled a weakening of our relationship with our allies in Israel, it has elected to fund the funders to terrorism, and it has repeatedly entertained a nuclear deal with the hideous Iranian regime that hopes to eviscerate both us and Israel.

We can’t say we weren’t warned.

‘It Sickens me’: Democrat Slams Squad Members over Calls to Stop Israel Assistance amid Terror Attack

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 15: U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), speaks while Reps.

Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) blasted far-left Squad members, Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Cori Bush (D-MO), over their support to end assistance to Israel in the wake of the Jewish state suffering a terror attack by Hamas, which has taken the lives of 1,200 people, with at least 2,700 injured.

Gottheimer, who is Jewish, said in a statement first reported by Fox News: “It sickens me that while Israelis clean the blood of their family members shot in their homes, they believe Congress should strip U.S. funding to our democratic ally and allow innocent civilians to suffer.”

Tlaib, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, issued a statement on the terror attack in which she called on the Israeli government to remove the Gaza strip’s blockade. the Michigan Democrat also urged for what she described as the end to “the occupation.”

“As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government,” she said.

Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) speaks during a news conference about rising national crime rates on Capitol Hill on February 9, 2022 in Washington, DC. Recent data from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics and the FBI suggest the homicide rate for the United States rose 30 percent between 2019 and 2020 and violent crime rose 5 percent from 2019 to 2020.

Bush echoed Tlaib’s statement, calling on the U.S. to end its support for what she branded as the “Israeli military occupation and apartheid.”

Earlier this week,Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) took Tlaib and Bush to task over their calls to cease U.S. aid to Israel

“U.S. aid to Israel is and should be unconditional, and never more so than in this moment of critical need,” Torres told Jewish Insider. “Congress must act decisively to provide Israel with whatever it needs to defend itself in the face of unprecedented terrorism.”

“Shame on anyone who glorifies as ‘resistance’ the largest single-day mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. It is reprehensible and repulsive,” the New York Democrat added.

Tlaib Avoids Questions, Won’t Comment on Hamas Murdering Babies, Raping Women

On Tuesday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) avoided questions from Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel Correspondent on Hamas terrorists decapitating babies, murdering children, and raping women in Israel and why she still has a Palestinian flag outside her office.

Vaughn asked, “Congresswoman, Hamas terrorists have cut off baby’s heads and burned children alive. Do you support Israel’s rights to defend themselves against this brutality?” As Vaughn was beginning the question, Tlaib said, “I’m so sorry, I can’t right now.”

After Tlaib didn’t respond, Vaughn followed up, “You can’t comment about Hamas terrorists chopping off baby’s heads?”

Other questions from Vaughn that Tlaib avoided were, “Congresswoman, do you have a comment on Hamas terrorists chopping off baby’s heads?” “You have nothing to say about Hamas terrorists chopping off baby’s heads?” “Do you condone what Hamas has done, chopping off baby’s heads, burning children alive, raping women in the street?” The latter question drew a quizzical look from Tlaib.

Vaughn also asked, “You have no comment about children’s heads being chopped off?” And “Congresswoman, why do you have the Palestinian flag outside your office, if you do not condone what Hamas terrorists have done to Israel?”

After the Congresswoman got into an elevator, Vaughn also asked Tlaib, “Do Israeli lives not matter to you?”
