Houthis Open Ramadan with Promise to Stage More Red Sea Attacks
The head of the Yemeni Houthi terrorist organization, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, issued remarks on the eve of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan on Sunday guaranteeing to his supporters that he would continue to orchestrate terrorist attacks against commercial ships in the Red Sea despite the holiday season.
“We will continue our operations and many of our fundamental and necessary activities must continue,” Houthi promised, according to the Iranian state Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
Houthi’s terrorist group, formally known as “Ansar Allah,” began a campaign of drone and missile strikes against seemingly random ships attempting to navigate in the greater Red Sea region at the end of 2023, allegedly in an attempt to hurt the economy of Israel. The Houthis have controlled a significant percentage of Yemeni territory since 2014, when they took over the national capital of Sana’a and forced the legitimate government to move south to the port city of Aden. Yemen has been in a state of civil war since and both the Houthis and the internationally-recognized government refer to themselves as the government and military of Yemen.
The Houthis declared war on Israel in October in support of fellow jihadist terror organization Hamas, which executed the deadliest attack on Israel in its modern history on October 7. Hamas terrorists invaded residential communities, killing entire families in their own homes and engaging in gang rape, infanticide, extensive torture, and abducting over 200 people. Like the Houthis, the Sunni-led Hamas organization received generous funding from Iran, which celebrated the killing of an estimated 1,200 people on October 7 with street parties featuring fireworks and free lemonade.
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi spoke on Sunday on the occasion of preparation for Ramadan, a month during which Muslims around the world typically fast during daylight hours and engage in other acts of fasting as a form of worship. Many radical Islamist terrorists consider Ramadan an ideal time to engage in more acts of jihad, believing that their killings will be rewarded more greatly during the holy month. Multiple Mideast countries confirmed on Sunday that the official start of Ramadan would take place on Monday.
Houthi told his followers from Sana’a on Sunday that his terrorists would “continue their retaliatory strikes in the Red Sea” during Ramadan “in solidarity” with Hamas, according to Iran’s state-run PressTV. Houthi also celebrated the many Yemenis forced into thousands-strong demonstrations in support of Hamas on a weekly basis.
“The demonstrators, who converge on the al-Sabeen Square [in Sana’a] every week, are doing a great and epic job. They are treading the righteous path,” PressTV quoted the leader as saying.

“It is a matter of pride for Yemenis to be recognized as noble warriors, with a clear understanding of the Muslim world’s sufferings and miseries of the oppressed Palestinian nation.”
The Houthis organized rallies reportedly attracting thousands of people on Friday in support of the Red Sea terror campaign. Participants published a statement via Iranian state media in which they declared Ramadan “a month of jihad before it is a month of worship” and demanded “a total boycott of American and Israeli goods and the companies that support them.”
Houthi warned on Sunday that all Muslims would allegedly face “a perilous situation if [they] … fail to do a jihad.”
The Houthis first announced a campaign against commercial shipping in and around the Red Sea meant to disturb commerce heading to and from Israel; they have since extended their targets to ships with ties to America and Britain in response to those nations engaging in airstrikes on Yemeni soil meant to degrade the Houthis’ ability to attack vessels in the region.
Houthi leaders have also issued public statements claiming they would avoid targeting ships with links to China and Russia, Hamas-friendly nations that have taken anti-Israel stances at the United Nations.
In reality, however, the Houthis have bombed ships with links to Russia, China, and its patrons in Iran, among other nations with no overt relevance to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The Media Line, a Middle East news outlet, reported on Sunday that Abdul-Malik al-Houthi claimed his terrorists had engaged in 96 missile and drone attacks since October 7. The attacks have sunk one ship so far, the Belize-flagged, Lebanese-operated MV Rubymar, and killed three last week aboard the Barbados-flagged, Liberian-owned MV True Confidence.
As in his comments on Sunday, al-Houthi has insisted repeatedly in the past two months that the terrorist organization would escalate the number of acts of terrorism in the future.
“Our military operations will continue and advance and we have surprises that our enemies will not expect at all,” al-Houthi proclaimed on February 29.
Houthi also boasted that the American and British airstrikes against his group had made no significant impact on the Houthis’ ability to target ships in the region.

“The Americans are now admitting their failure to achieve their aggressive goals against our country and are surprised by our strength,” he said.
American President Joe Biden appeared to agree with al-Houthi in remarks in January after journalists asked him if the airstrikes meant to weaken Houthi capabilities were working.
“Well, when you say ‘working,’ are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they going to continue? Yes.”
Biden nonetheless boasted of his decision to order the airstrikes during his State of the Union address on Thursday.
“Creating stability in the Middle East also means containing the threat posed by Iran. That’s why I built a coalition of more than a dozen countries to defend international shipping and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea,” Biden said. “I’ve ordered strikes to degrade the Houthi capabilities and defend U.S. Forces in the region.”
“As Commander in Chief, I will not hesitate to direct further measures to protect our people and military personnel,” he promised.
Italian Police Arrest Three Palestinians Allegedly Planning Terrorist Attacks
Italian police have arrested three Palestinians based in central Italy who they said were planning attacks in an unspecified country, a police statement said on Monday.
The three men living in l'Aquila, about 75 miles northeast of Rome, had set up a cell linked to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, it said.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is an armed group that is linked to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement and is considered a terrorist group by Israel, the European Union, and the United States.
Police said the three Palestinians had been charged with criminal conspiracy for terrorism purposes or subversion of the democratic order, which carries jail terms of up to 15 years.
"The suspects engaged in proselytism and propaganda ... and planned attacks, including suicide attacks, against civilian and military targets on foreign territory," police said.
One of the three men is wanted by Israel, which is at war with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and an Italian court is examining an extradition request for him, the statement added.
In a separate statement, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi hailed the arrest of "three dangerous terrorists" and said Italy was always on high alert against extremism and radicalization.
There was no immediate comment by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

Middlebury Students Tried To Host a Vigil for Victims of Oct. 7 Attack. Administrators Told Them To Remove the Word ‘Jewish.’
The Department of Education is now investigating Middlebury over anti-Semitism.
It was October 10, three days after Hamas had murdered 1,200 Israelis and abducted hundreds more, and Jewish students at Middlebury College were trying to organize a vigil for the victims. They reached out to Middlebury’s dean of students, Derek Doucet, with a draft poster promoting the event, which they invited administrators at the elite liberal arts school to attend.
"Stand in Solidarity With the Jewish People," the poster read. "This will be an opportunity to honor the innocent lives lost in the tragic events that have struck Israel in the past days."
It didn’t go over well.
In an email to students reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, Doucet, who has oversight of student activities, pushed to rename the vigil and strip it of references to Judaism so as to make it "as inclusive as possible."
"Some suggestions that might help are stating that this gathering is to honor ‘all the innocent lives lost,’" Doucet wrote, and including a reference to the "tragedies that have struck Israel and Gaza." He added that calls for solidarity with Jews could trigger "unhelpful reactions."
"I recognize and deeply respect that there has to be a place for purely Jewish grief and sorrow," Doucet said, "and yet I wonder if … such a public gathering in such a charged moment might be more inclusive with edits such as these."
The need to include all groups—in a vigil mourning the losses of one—was selective and short-lived. Less than a month later, Doucet’s office approved a "Vigil for Palestine," hosted by the Muslim Students Association, that began with an Islamic prayer and featured remarks from the school’s vice president of equity and inclusion, Khuram Hussain, who did not attend the Jewish vigil.
"Standing in solidarity," the Muslim student group wrote in an Instagram post promoting the event. "Together, we honor Palestine."
The divergent reaction to the two events is one of the most shocking examples of discrimination outlined in a federal civil rights complaint against Middlebury, one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. Filed last month by the pro-Israel nonprofit StandWithUs, which has sued other elite schools over anti-Semitism, the complaint alleges that Middlebury created a hostile environment for its Jewish students by ignoring and at times impeding their efforts to combat campus anti-Semitism.
On Tuesday, the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights told StandWithUS that it had opened an investigation into Middlebury based on the complaint. The office will review the allegations and, if it finds that discrimination has occurred, provide a list of remedial actions for Middlebury to take. Such probes can range from a few months to several years, depending on the office’s case load.
Colleges across the country have been accused of violating Title VI, the civil rights law governing recipients of federal funds, by turning a blind eye to the harassment of Jews on campus in the wake of Oct. 7. The Middlebury complaint goes further, arguing that the school has not only tolerated anti-Semitism but actively discriminated against its Jewish students, in part by denying them the same accommodations as their Muslim and Christian peers.
Middlebury funds and recognizes six Christian clubs on campus, for example, along with both the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine. But it has refused to recognize Chabad, an orthodox campus organization with chapters across the country, on the grounds that Jewish students already have access to Hillel, the only space at Middlebury with a Kosher kitchen.
"The funding request for food replicates programming already funded and offered by Hillel for Shabbat dinners," Middlebury’s student activities office wrote in a February email rejecting Chabad’s bid for recognition. It was at least the second time since 2018 that the school has denied an application from Chabad.
"Middlebury believes it has legitimate grounds to deny a Jewish club’s recognition simply on the grounds that one Jewish group is more than enough for the campus," the complaint reads. "It appears that Chabad’s rejection was at least in part based on a disturbing reluctance by Middlebury to provide kosher food options to its Jewish students."
The school also resisted calls for a police presence at the Jewish vigil in October, citing concerns that the officers could upset students, and asked the organizers of the event not to display Israeli flags, according to meetings described in the complaint.
The Palestinian vigil appears to have faced fewer hurdles. Not only did Middlebury station a police car outside the event, according to a report in the school’s student newspaper, it offered up Middlebury Chapel, one of the largest event spaces on campus, to the Muslim group after interest in the vigil surged. The chapel was not made available for the Jewish vigil, which was held outside, even though it drew a larger crowd than the pro-Palestinian event.
"What makes Middlebury different from our other Title VI complaints is that there’s not just a hostile environment for Jewish students; the administration also seems to be directly complicit," Yael Lerman, the director of StandWithUs’s legal arm, told the Free Beacon. "The Middlebury administration seems to think they’re off the radar and can get away with disparate treatment of Jewish students because everyone is focused on Harvard, MIT, and Penn."
That disparate treatment appears to reflect the ideological sympathies of at least some administrators. On Feb. 16, the same day StandWithUs’s complaint was filed, Middlebury released a statement, "How Middlebury is Handling the Tensions Surrounding the Israel/Gaza War," that appeared to endorse the Palestinian "struggle for liberation."
"Student Affairs, Public Safety, and the Events offices supported a vigil honoring the Palestinian people and their struggle for liberation at Middlebury Chapel on November 9," the statement said.
It also touted an "Anti-Oppression Reading Group Discussion of Islamophobia" with Renee Wells, Middlebury’s director of education for equity and inclusion, and a "teach-in" hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine, the group behind some of the most aggressive anti-Semitic protests nationally.
Middlebury has since stealth-edited the statement to remove those references, based on multiple versions of the webpage archived by StandWithUs. The school did not respond to a request for comment about whether it supports Palestinian "liberation" or has an official view on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The efforts to rewrite history extend to the college’s dealings with students, who have been discouraged from creating a record of their conversations with administrators. After a Jewish student met with Middlebury’s provost, Michelle McCauley, to discuss a slew of anti-Semitic Yik Yak posts, the student sent an email recapping the meeting.
McCauley responded that the recap was "not as I understood the conversation" and, in a follow-up meeting, castigated the student for putting the discussion in writing, according to emails reviewed by the Free Beacon and meetings described in the complaint. She then had Hussain, the diversity official who spoke at the Gaza vigil, produce his own recap of the meeting, which omitted key parts of the conversation and downplayed the student’s concerns, according to the complaint.
"Rather than address its antisemitism problem, Middlebury’s administration has attempted to hide and deny its existence," the complaint reads. "Middlebury is a leading example of a campus where hostility towards Jews and Israelis thrives."

The Biden administration is trying to topple Netanyahu’s government
Biden has never made a secret of his hatred for Bibi Netanyahu (and it’s easy to see why a stupid, draft-dodging man would hate an intelligent, accomplished warrior). Still, he’s now taking that hatred to new levels as he actively works to interfere in Israeli politics. For decades, leftists told us that it was morally wrong to try to affect a nation’s internal politics, but that doesn’t apply when the nation is a liberal democratic ally…and the world’s only Jewish state.
The New York Intelligencer reported on sources saying that Biden intends to overthrow Netanyahu, the democratically elected leader of a U.S. ally (emphasis mine):
Weeks before “uncommitted” voters sent a message to Joe Biden that he needs to bring an end to Israel’s war in Gaza or risk losing reelection, the president had evidently decided — to borrow another American neologism — to consciously uncouple from Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s recalcitrant prime minister.
In the past month, he has, through a series of relatively quiet but closely linked and deliberate moves, sought to marginalize Bibi, as Netanyahu is ubiquitously known, internationally and at home. The change spilled out publicly on Thursday night following the State of the Union address, when Biden announced he ordered the U.S. military to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza via a sea pier. After the speech, Biden was stopped by Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado, who told him to “keep pushing” Israel’s leader. Smiling, Biden said, “I told him, ‘Bibi,’— don’t repeat this— ‘you & I are going to have a come to Jesus moment.” Hidden behind Secretary of State Antony Blinken, a presidential aide whispered, “Sir, you’re on a hot mic,” to which a buoyant Biden replied, “I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That’s good.”
[snip]
One Israeli expert frequently consulted by American officials says, “I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse. They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.”
The same essay notes that Biden is undermining Netanyahu with his pier-building plan and the Gaza supply airdrops. As I have pointed out (and currently seem to be the only one saying), the pier effectively forces a ceasefire on Israel. That’s because Gaza is so small, Israel cannot risk an errant rocket hitting American troops anchored off of Gaza’s coast.
Leftists used to hate it when America interfered in the internal politics of another nation, especially nations that were hostile to America. Now, though, it’s a good thing because Israel is the left’s enemy. Israel is the only nation in the entire Middle East that has full civil rights for all residents, regardless of race, creed, sex, “gender identity,” or country of national origin—and it is the country the left hates most of all. The obvious reason is that this is because Israel sided with America during the Soviet-era Cold War.
It's deeper than that, though. Leftists despise Western culture and, as always, the enemy of their enemy is their friend. If you hate the West, you must love the Islamists who loudly and with firepower threaten the West. Because the Islamists hate Israel, so do the leftists. And Israel, of course, is the ultimate Western nation, despite its Middle Eastern location.
That’s because Israel is the home of the ideology that underlies all Western culture: The Bible, both its Old and New Testaments. Worse, the Jewish nation ostentatiously believes in that Bible, grounding its rights to the land and its values in the God-given and archaeologically confirmed history of the Torah.
Three smart tweets, one from Noah Pollak (with a little added commentary from me) and the other two from Mark Levin, sum up what Biden’s policies toward Israel and its duly elected Prime Minister reveal:
From the mid-1930s until WWII, one of the most popular national radio broadcasters in America was Father Charles Coughlin. In addition to Catholic doctrine, Coughlin’s real subject was Nazi-esque antisemitism:
On Father Coughlin’s nationwide radio show, which ran from 1926-1940, he was a fearsome demagogue: parroting Nazi propaganda, telling his listeners that “international bankers” and “Jewish Communists” were plotting their demise, stating that the Jews deserved what happened to them at Kristallnacht, and encouraging the growth of the Christian Front, a pro-Nazi Christian militia that plotted to overthrow the U.S. government by attacking prominent Jews.
Based on no evidence whatsoever, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Joe’s family members were Coughlin fans, an antipathy Joe has transmuted into his communist-driven Jew-hatred. Certainly, to the extent Biden has Jews in his administration (most notably Antony Blinken), he surrounds himself only with those leftist Jews who hate Jewish values and the Jewish nation as much as he does.

Biden admits the real, pro-Hamas goal behind his demand that Israel pause its war
The most obvious thing to leap out of Joe Biden’s weekend interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capeheart was Biden’s abject apology for referring to the fact that Laken Riley’s confessed killer is an illegal alien. However, what that interview also revealed is that Biden has a very specific reason for demanding that Israel call a ceasefire in its war against Hamas: Doing so will allow Hamas to “survive” and “rebuild.” As Israel engages in an existential fight against the self-avowed genocidal forces arrayed against her, Biden is stabbing her in the back.
Almost since the beginning of Israel’s war against Hamas, Biden has called for Israel to rein herself in. He tried to be subtle in the beginning, but now that his base has made patently clear that support for Israel is a “red line” for it, he’s become open in his hostility to the Jewish state.
Whether it’s drawing his own “red lines” against Israel’s effort to clean Hamas out of Rafah,* his plan to interfere in Israel’s domestic politics by taking out Benjamin Netanyahu, or his announcement that he’s using U.S. troops to supply Gaza, which really means supplying Hamas, he’s all-in it to ensure that Israel cannot defeat an enemy that openly demands the Jewish people’s extermination.
Image: X screengrab.
Biden’s taking sides in the fight became very apparent during the State of the Union speech when to justify American involvement with boats-on-the-water in Gaza, he used Hamas’s casualty figures. Thus, he claimed that 30,000 civilians were dead. That’s a number from Hamas, and even the Pentagon had to concede its unreliability when it walked back Lloyd Austin’s reliance on that “data.” In fact, accurate data analysis reveals that Hamas’s casualty numbers, in addition to being unvetted, are manifestly faked:
Here’s the problem with this data: The numbers are not real. That much is obvious to anyone who understands how naturally occurring numbers work. The casualties are not overwhelmingly women and children, and the majority may be Hamas fighters.
Of course, given how successful The Lancet’s lies about Iraqi casualties were in the early days of the Iraq War, it’s not surprising that Hamas would follow the same playbook. Indeed, the Nazis came up with this playbook when they lied about civilian casualties during the Dresden bombing. Yes, civilians died, but the numbers were faked to make the Nazis look like victims.
When thinking about civilian casualty figures during war, there’s something important to keep in mind: When an army targets civilians, as Hamas did in Israel, that’s evil and a war crime. When an army targets a legitimate military objective and civilians get in the way, whether because their home is the battlefield or because, as with Hamas, the military deliberately hides itself amongst civilians, that is not a war crime. It’s tragic, but it’s also the nature of war. Hamas started it, and now Israel wants to finish it.
Biden, however, does not want Israel to finish it. He’s done everything he can to prevent Israel from finishing it, and in his interview with Capeheart, he explicitly stated why: Hamas needs to “survive” and “rebuild.”
CAPEHEART: Who? Who actually wants a deal? Do you think Hamas actually wants a ceasefire?
BIDEN: Well, I think, Hamas would like a total ceasefire across the board because they then they [sic] they see they have a better chance to survive and maybe rebuild. But that's not what I think the vast majority of people think. You have to look.
[Six second pause as Biden’s brain recalibrates.]
After it happened in World War 2 and the carpet bombing that took place, what happened was we ended up in a situation where we changed the rules of the game, what constitutes the general rules of war.
Biden’s WWII analogy is epically stupid, and that’s separate from his unspoken reliance on those Nazi figures about Dresden. What we learned from WWI is that after the enemy loses, if you don’t help it rebuild along liberal democratic lines, it may return worse than before. That’s why, after the Italians, Germans, and Japanese offered unconditional military surrenders, we helped rebuild them in a civil mode. Biden is twisting that to mean that we must save an unrepentant genocidal enemy’s military and help rebuild that, too.
The classic definition of a gaffe is when a politician accidentally speaks the truth. Biden’s gaffe was epic because he exposed what’s really going on with his machinations since October 7: Hamas must survive and thrive.

Time to Deep-Six the Democrats' Brand of Democracy
By Albin Sadar
The Democrats warn us almost daily that re-electing Donald Trump in 2024 will spell the end of democracy. But, technically, do we even live in a country whose constitution established us as a "democracy"?
When Benjamin Franklin left the Constitutional Convention of 1787, he was greeted by a woman who asked him point-blank, "Well, doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?" Mr. Franklin's terse response: "A republic, madam -- if you can keep it."
It is significant that Franklin did not say that the form of government that the Founders created was a democracy. We are, in fact, as most of us know (or should certainly know), a constitutional republic.
We are not a country where 51% of citizens can outvote the other 49%, then tell them what they can and cannot do. We are a representative government with checks and balances built in as guaranteed safeguards against a majority of strong-willed individuals lording it over the meek, timid, and disadvantaged. Both majority and minority have a true say in how every citizen is governed.
The First Amendment guaranteeing free speech has always been key if we hope to "keep the republic." Once that is co-opted -- then controlled and censored -- an unsuspecting public will be easily swayed into thinking in line with whatever ensures that an elite few can gain and maintain power. Manipulating the masses is the goal.
Election season is always ripe for the misuse of our First Amendment. If the leftist elites that currently control the many facets of our culture -- the press, academia, entertainment, business and, yes, even many religious institutions -- continue unabated, the noble idea and ideals upon which America was established will soon become a regrettable lost cause of the past.
Obviously, two powerful forces remain in the battle to control America through the presidency in this year's election. On one side, the Democrats with their twisted definition of America, aided by a Deep State, far-left, globalist, RINO, and woke contingency; on the other, all those pushing back, whether part of the America First and MAGA crowd or the myriad other freedom-loving citizens of all stripes awake to the evil that has accelerated over these past three years.
Since the 2020 presidential contest, which was declared by the powers that be "the most secure election in American history," there is a majority of citizens who have serious doubts about the validity of the result. Another percentage naively believe that that sort of third-world, election-stealing shenanigans could never happen here. And yet another, smaller group knows for a fact that the election was not secure in the least, because they themselves were flat-out involved in rigging and stealing it. On November 3rd through 6th of 2020, a group of Democrat operatives blatantly and quite effectively ended the concept of free and fair elections, thus negating one of the keystones of self-rule by We the People.
Building upon that 2020 "win," Democrats and their tyrannical gang have since targeted anyone who stands in the way of their fundamental transformation of this country, President Trump chief among their adversaries. As Trump so often reminds us, the Left is not after him, they are after independent, free-thinking, non-compliant Americans. He's just standing in their way.
And stand he has.
After everything the Left has manufactured to take Trump out, every sort of imagined or concocted crime, Trump still stands. And, undeterred, fights back. He refuses to simply fade away. Democrats and their machine on the left roll out their revenge and retribution daily on Trump because he had the audacity to run for president in the first place. Then to win. Then to win a second time.
From the primary trail over the past several months, Trump has also highlighted that, besides honest elections, another crucial facet necessary for a country to exist as a sovereign nation is a secure border. We can all clearly see what the Biden administration has allowed to transpire at the southern border. Millions of illegal aliens have simply strolled across our wide-open borders and are now who-knows-where throughout our country. Does this indicate a government that is concerned about sovereignty or security in any way, shape, or form?
Other traits indicative of the Democrats' brand of democracy include publicly labeling political adversaries as "domestic terrorists"; using excessive force and exaggerating charges when arresting dissenters; imprisoning protestors, such as those involved on January 6, without charges and due process; championing mob violence and looting from the progressive far Left; and so many additional tactics that might more readily apply to fascism than democracy.
All these destructive features touted by the Biden administration help to reveal the democracy to which the Democrats refer. And we need to squelch it sooner rather than later.
November 5th would be just in the nick of time.

Anti-Semitism may be Coming to Your Radio Station
Don’t be shocked if you tune in to your favorite conservative talk-radio show and instead hear someone of the same political stance as Rachel Maddow or Joy Reid. Before you crash your car or fall out of your chair, you should know what is taking place, why it is taking place, and your role in preventing what could be a severe reduction in conservative and pro-Israel voices on terrestrial radio.
George Soros, via Soros Fund Management (SFM), has acquired via a bankruptcy bailout a majority position in Audacy Inc, the licensee of 235 radio stations in the United States, plus digital programming, and podcasting outlets. Nationally, Audacy, the second largest radio company in America, claims to reach 200 million people a month through its various distribution channels including a near-monopoly on news and talk-formatted stations in many markets.
Here is what happened: Audacy, headquartered in Philadelphia, recently declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In its recovery plan, it agreed to have various revenue sources buy its bank debt, and convert the debt to an equity stake in the new Audacy. SFM stepped up and acquired $415 million or about 40% of the broadcaster’s senior debt, making it the largest and controlling shareholder.
Here is why this should be of concern to all Americans, and especially for Jews across the country: Soros has shown us exactly what his game plan is. In 2022, the Soros-backed Latino Media Network, an affiliate of SGM, acquired an 18-station group of Spanish-language radio stations located in Florida serving the Cuban-American community. When the Latino Media Ntetwork bought them, they were center-right in their programming orientation and doing very well. Afterward, the stations’ programming flipped far to the Left in order to influence their audiences in that direction. Likely, this is his prototype for Audacy.
As the Federal Communication Commission is barred from controlling programming, SFM (via station management) can mostly do what it wants with the stations it is acquiring -- unless listeners and other interested parties (that would be us) can show the FCC commissioners that the company is unqualified to be a licensee.
SFM is largely owned by the same George Soros who, as reported in the New York Post, funneled $15 million to pro-Hamas groups in the United States between 2016-2023. Much of this went to the Tides Center, which in turn granted the money to the virulent groups organizing pro-Hamas and BDS protests in the U.S. Now they may be getting a big. megaphone for their views.
What about American support for Israel? Exactly where does this leftist icon stand on the nation-state of the Jewish People? Soros has a long history generously supporting organizations whose goals are to undermine or to outright destroy the Jewish state. In October, 2023, hundreds of protesters representing two anti-Israel groups funded by Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) -- Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow -- infiltrated the Capitol to protest Israel’s alleged but false “genocide” and blaming Israel for the October 7 mass rape and massacre. In 2007, Soros wrote an opinion piece in the Financial Times headlined “America and Israel Must Open the Door to Hamas,” and in 2023 George Soros called for Israel to immediately begin a ceasefire and all the while funded a pro-Hamas organization called Al-Shabaka with more than half a million dollars.
As it relates to Israel, the OSF has been accused in the Israeli press of funding anti-Israel activist groups including Adalah, I’LAM and “Palestinian Citizens of Israel.” In 2013, Israel’s NGO Monitor released a report that OSF funding “contributes significantly to anti-Israel campaigns in three important respects:
1. Active in the Durban Strategy, which declared Palestinian residents of Israel are treated as second-class citizens and (falsely) equated Zionism with racism (this draft of the Declaration was so offensive that the U.S. and Israel withdrew from the conference;)
2. Funding aimed at weakening United States support for Israel by shifting public opinion regarding the Arab war against Israel, and Iran;
3. Funding for Israeli political opposition groups on the fringes of Israeli society which use the rhetoric of human rights to advocate for marginal political goals.”
Finally, Soros, through OFC, created a $1.8 million fund intended to train budding journalists to be assigned to keep track of “state government issues.” He created a boot camp of sorts in which to school them, no doubt, in his progressivism. In fact, this effort was done in cooperation with National Public Radio (NPR), the anti-Semitic public radio network. Some say NPR stands for “National Palestinian Radio,” its reporting is so biased. The Soros “trained” journalists are placed at NPR stations throughout the country.
What can be done to prevent this massive radio group from coming under the control of the Soros affiliates? A bankruptcy judge has approved Audacy’s plan to come out of bankruptcy, including Soros’ acquisition of majority interest in the company. However, because this constitutes a change in control of the broadcasting company, it needs the approval of the FCC to take place. An outpouring of letters to the FCC Chairperson Jessica Rosenworcel, and other commissioners might get them to take a closer look at the transaction and possibly question Soros’/SFM’s fitness as a licensee. Contact information for the FCC can be found here.
Having hundreds of stations and digital outlets under Soros’ influence is dangerous for America and especially Jewry, and although time is very tight, the control of Audacy by an avowed anti-Zionist is something we Americans must try to derail.

Joe Biden: inventing new ways to kill Americans
The Great Biden Hamas Airdrop is not off to an auspicious beginning. The problem is cargo planes must fly low and slow for such missions, and even then, they can’t drop their cargo with any real precision. Flying that mission profile, they’re vulnerable to shoulder-fired missiles and ground fire. Fly high enough to be reasonably safe, and well…
At least five people were killed and 10 others injured when airdropped aid packages fell on them in the Al Shati camp west of Gaza City, according to a journalist on the scene. [skip]
In a video obtained by CNN on Friday, an airdrop goes wrong when the parachute on a pallet malfunctions. The pallet and its contents can be seen falling at a high speed towards a residential building near the Fairoz Towers in western Gaza.

As the aid races towards the ground, free-falling bags are also seen coming apart in a shower of debris, and later seen and heard impacting the ground with audible loud thuds.
While most of the other parachutes appear to have deployed properly, the pallets are still falling at a potentially dangerous speed, which could have made it difficult for anyone to get out of its way as it touched down on the ground.
Ooops.
Thus do we see the inevitable result of good intentions—I’m being very generous—without knowledge, experience, or the willingness to listen to those that possess both. Joe Biden, President of the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration (MMPA), at his recent State of the Union teleprompter slurring, announced our military will now be tasked to build a “port” in Gaza to allow cargo ships to offload supplies. To our deadly enemy, the enemy of civilization, a proxy of Iran, monsters who are at this moment holding Americans hostage and will not confirm if they are dead or alive. We are also assured there will be “no boots on the ground.” Apparently, our troops can walk on water, or perhaps there are previously undisclosed, top secret personal jet packs that will allow them to hover over ground as they build this “port.”
Why now? Why a port? Did the MMPA suddenly realize what a public relations disaster bombing Gazans with pallets full of Meals Ready to Eat (MRE) is? Did military members forced to subsist on MREs inform the MMPA giving MREs to civilians could be considered an act of war? Or has the MMPA now decided it’s time to starve the Israelis, our ally, of what they need to win? Has the MMPA now fully, or nearly so, changed sides? Whatever the reasons, this is extraordinarily stupid, even for the MMPA:
*What ally is going to believe anything America says in the future? Who will believe America will not betray them as the MMPA is betraying Israel?
*Our ships, many of them unarmed cargo ships, will be sitting ducks for the weapons Iran supplies to Hamas and our numerous other proxy enemies in the area.
*Our troops will be sitting ducks, even in warships too close to shore to allow sufficient standoff time for defensive weapons.
*The idea a port can be built in Gaza, during an active war, without innumerable American troops on enemy soil is idiotic. Hundreds, at the least, will be required, and thousands will be in support, constantly moving supplies, building materials and providing security, all while directly exposed to enemy fire of all kinds.
*Even if it were possible to safely build a port, what private company will risk their ships to service it even with American naval escort?
Graphic: X Screenshot
We are going to lose American lives, in the hundreds if not thousands. We’ll lose ships in a Navy already far too small and shrinking, and for what? To provide Hama with more and better supplies they’ll steal to continue their genocidal jihad against Israel and western civilization? To give civilization’s enemies the means to continue to wage war against Israel, to prolong the conflict they started and swear to continue until they kill every Jew? The MMPA does this knowing even more Gazans will die the longer the war drags on. They do this to protect our enemies even as they destroy the American economy and throw our borders open, damaging our national security and personal safety. How can this be?
These are people who think themselves morally and intellectually superior. Their policies are unfalsifiable; they cannot possibly be wrong. There is no evidence that can prove them wrong, so they do not bother to listen to any. They create their own reality and try to force others to live in and praise it, praise their superior morality and unfathomable wisdom.
American servicemen and women, in a military few are willing to join, will die, and the light of civilization will dim more every day to feed medieval savages.

Remembering the women Hamas brutally slaughtered, captured
Hey there, people born with women’s parts: yesterday was International Women’s Day.
Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #InspireInclusion.
Celebrate women’s achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to drive gender parity.
IWD belongs to everyone, everywhere. Inclusion means all IWD action is valid.
I’m still imagining. Probably you are, too. Meanwhile, the “Palestinian” 99.99% Muslims in Hamas-governed Gaza definitely didn’t honor the day, especially the international part, as this New York Times investigative report from last month sickeningly demonstrates.
(Warning: Normal individuals will have nightmares after reading this, so below is a minute excerpt.)
‘Screams Without Words’: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7
A Times investigation uncovered new details showing a pattern of rape, mutilation and extreme brutality
The Times interviewed several soldiers and volunteer medics who together described finding more than 30 bodies of women and girls in and around the rave site and in two kibbutzim in a similar state as Ms. Abdush’s — legs spread, clothes torn off, signs of abuse in their genital areas.
Indeed, “Palestinian” Hamas attacks beginning on October 7, 2023 and continuing to this day, especially against women, were so brutal, so savage, that some shocked reporters were willing to delicately authenticate them, forcing the U.N. to finally respond. Sort of.
‘Clear and convincing information’ that hostages held in Gaza subjected to sexual violence, says UN Special Representative
Following a 17-day visit to Israel, the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict reported on Monday that she and a team of experts had found “clear and convincing information” of rape and sexualized torture being committed against hostages seized during the 7 October terror attacks.
Pramila Patten added in a press release issued along with the report that there are also reasonable grounds to believe that such violence, which includes other “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment”, may be continuing against those still being held by Hamas and other extremists in the Gaza Strip.
The report from her Office arose from an official visit to Israel at the invitation of the Government which included a visit to the occupied West Bank, between 29 January and 14 February.
In the context of the coordinated attack by Hamas and others of 7 October, the UN mission team found that there are reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence occurred in multiple locations, including rape and gang rape in at least three locations in southern Israel.
The team also found a pattern of victims - mostly women - found fully or partially naked, bound and shot across multiple locations which “may be indicative of some forms of sexual violence”.
“Some forms of sexual violence.” Oh. Well, this is the U.N., so they have to be careful not to offend their anti-Israel, anti-Jewish members — i.e., most of them.
Remember this when you read or hear about how mean and nasty the Israelis are to the sweet, innocent Gazans, who lived so nicely in their lovely homes and had enough food until those nasty Israelis destroyed everything for no reason at all.
And remember the hypocrisy of the Muslim response to International Women’s Day, as related by Islamic Relief Worldwide with not even an acknowledgment of the horrors their brethren inflicted on others. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Ahead of International Women’s Day, Najah Almugahed, Gender Protection and Inclusion Advisor at Islamic Relief examines how the needs vs rights debate applies to women in humanitarian crises, calling for more aid to cover women’s basic needs.
After nearly a decade residing away from home, I managed to go back for a visit last year. Home is Yemen, which is experiencing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Despite the joy of reuniting with family and friends, witnessing the devastation of basic services, extreme poverty and higher rates of inequality left its mark on my heart. The reality painted a grim picture of a population teetering on the brink of famine, with two-thirds in dire need of humanitarian assistance and protection services, according to UNHCR.
In addition to these challenges, I observed a subtle shift in gender roles. Women in Yemen are increasingly taking on ‘productive’ roles – engaging in income-generating activities and breaking into traditionally male-dominated jobs such as waitressing or retail. However, this shift in Yemen and elsewhere is often sparked by necessity, rather than a genuine commitment to equal rights and opportunities. Even with their expanded responsibilities, women continue to shoulder the traditional roles of homemaking and caregiving without a corresponding reduction in expectations. ...
There are still Israeli women — and men — in dire captivity in Muslim Gaza who are being ignored even after International Women’s Day, while many still shed their crocodile tears over the plight of the starving Gazans. On this, the day after International Women’s Day, the hypocrisy of the women — and men — who “celebrate” this day grows. Decent women — and men — will truly celebrate the spirit of “International Women’s Day” by demanding the return of all Israeli hostages — now!

Joe Biden continues to undermine national security for America, and countries around the world
By Jack Hellner
We constantly hear the Biden administration lecturing Israel about how they should soften up their attacks in Gaza, and for the need for a ceasefire with Hamas.
Hamas, along with other terrorist organizations supported by Iran, have pledged to wipe Israel off the map, but Israel is portrayed as a villain for wanting to wipe these terrorists off the map.
The administration, which includes a lot of Obama holdovers, has over the years, built up Iran’s finances and helped the terrorist organizations themselves:
Biden Empowered Iran Proxies Attacking US Forces and Threatening Wider War Against Israel
Not only has the president empowered Iran by relaxing former President Donald Trump’s sanctions on the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism, but he has also empowered Iran’s proxies through various geopolitical moves that make war more likely. Biden is not alone; previous administrations have directed funds to ostensible U.S. allies in the region, funds that likely contribute to the proxies’ forces.
Biden has repeatedly told Iran to stop but strangely, the terroristic regime hasn’t listened. Trump put maximum pressure on Iran and devastated its finances by using economic sanctions to target the regime’s main source of revenue (oil). From Reuters:
As Trump’s sanctions bite, Iran’s oil exports slide further in June
Iranian crude exports have dropped so far in June to 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) or less after the United States tightened the screw on Tehran’s main source of income, industry sources said and tanker data showed, deepening global supply losses.
The United States reimposed sanctions on Iran in November after pulling out of a 2015 nuclear accord between Tehran and six world powers. Aiming to cut Iran’s sales to zero, Washington in May ended sanctions waivers to importers of Iranian oil.
Now four months after Iran supported Hamas, Iran’s oil exports are 300% higher (and the price much higher) than they were under Trump:
Iran’s exports of crude oil grew by roughly 50% last year to a five-year high of about 1.29 million barrels per day, with the vast majority going to China, helping to prevent a sharp increase in prices triggered by conflict in the Middle East.
And, as you could expect, the exports are mostly going to China, a nation which also hates America, but one that the Biden administration relies on for most of the minerals needed to build expensive, impractical, inefficient, unreliable electric cars powered by a flammable pollutant, which Biden wants to force Americans to buy.
As the brilliant Biden administration reportedly looks for peace in the Middle East while trying to protect Hamas and other terrorist organizations, it appears as though he has vetoed a few options for peace in Ukraine, including one deal right after the war started.
Why didn’t the public hear about these ceasefire offers, that the Biden administration blocked, in Ukraine? That would seem to be an important piece of information when the administration is essentially asking for a blank check:
U.S. repeatedly blocked Ukraine peace deals; is it rethinking its strategy yet?
It is clear that the U.S. and its allies were out to sabotage possibilities for peace immediately after the Russian invasion. Were it not for their interference, the current war could have ended in early March 2022—about a week after it started. Thanks to Arakhamia, we now have confirmation of this fact.
Also, from Reuters:
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s suggestion of a ceasefire in Ukraine to freeze the war was rejected by the United States after contacts between intermediaries, three Russian sources with knowledge of the discussions told Reuters.
So they blocked peace deals while demanding a blank check from Americans to fund the war. Anyone who dares want accountability for the money spent in Ukraine is falsely called a Putin puppet or supporter. The talking points are repeated endlessly.
I see that Putin has endorsed Biden for president and it is no surprise:
Russian President Vladimir Putin openly expressed his preference for President Joe Biden as a better choice for the White House than former President Donald Trump. During a recent interview, he indicated that it would be easier for Russia to deal with Washington with Biden in the Oval Office and downplayed concerns about the president’s age and mental acuity.
Obama and Biden repeatedly have appeased Putin. Obama told Russia he would be more flexible if he were reelected in 2012, and he certainly was. When Putin attacked Ukraine, Obama refused requests from Ukraine for weapons to appease Putin.
When Biden was (s)elected he reversed Trump’s sanctions on the gas pipeline to Germany, and Biden’s energy policies have jacked up the price of crude oil by almost 100% from $40 per barrel when Biden took office to almost $80 today. The crude oil price was low during Trump’s years and has been much higher while Biden has been in charge. Putin must be thankful for all that extra money to finance his aggression and ambition.
And who wouldn’t want a president like Biden who trashes Trump for telling NATO countries to fulfill their obligation to spend more for their own defense. Putin loves it when European countries spend little to defend themselves.
Anyone who believes that China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea or any country that relies on oil for the bulk of their income gives a hoot about their carbon footprint should have their head examined; the oil producers are laughing all the way to the bank. (They also love it when Biden continually says that the greatest existential threat to the world is either Trump and his supporters or climate change.)
Any president or candidate who believes that a hypothetical few degree temperature rise, or Republican voters who want to make America great again are the greatest threat instead of enemies like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, doesn’t have their priorities straight and should not be allowed to destroy our great country.
These types of politicians are especially dangerous when they invite people from around the world, with little or no vetting to cross our border.
I can see the foreign leaders licking their chops as they watch the U.S. military lose recruits as woke brass concentrate on DIE, pronouns, and electrifying military vehicles instead of doing their job to build and maintain the strongest defense necessary to protect the American people.
Our enemies are laughing at us. They are building their military while the Bidenites worry about using “problematic” gendered language here:
As Global Conflicts Rage, Blinken Lays Down the Law on Gender Pronouns for State Department Employees
Problematic terms like ‘manpower,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen’ and even ‘mother/father,’ ‘son/daughter,’ and ‘husband/wife’ should be avoided.
And here:
Biden’s State Department Unveils ‘Equity Action Plan’ to Make Diplomacy More ‘Equitable’
I wonder why the military is having trouble meeting recruitment targets.
The choice gets easier every day. Vote for either the candidate that Putin and our media support or vote for Trump, who kept energy prices much cheaper and therefore the world much safer.

The Problem with Ramadan
The month of Ramadan, one of the most important holidays of Islam, starts on March 10 this year. Yair Pinto the director of operations of TBN Israel said in a video that:
According to the books of Islam, Ramadan is a month of introspection, cleansing of the soul, fasting and in general connecting men with their god. Muslims believe also that this is the month in which the Koran was sent down from heaven to guide the way to salvation. This is a month in which every Muslim in the world is supposed to multiply goodness and kindness and love. It is a month meant to teach us what modesty, humility, sensitivity to others, compassion and charity are.
If this is what Ramadan is, then one would think that it is an opportunity for peace and that Israel should agree to practically any ceasefire agreement to allow Islamic goodwill to grow and lead to the release of the hostages and an increased flow of aid to the civilians of Gaza.
Mr. Pinto also said that this year there is concern that there will be a flareup of violence along the seam lines between Arab and Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem and elsewhere. He said that for the last several years Ramadan has become a month of pogroms, riots, and attacks. He said that Palestinians are being incited by their leaders, who tell them that Israel plans to demolish the Al Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan. According to Israel's National Security Council, increasing incitement by jihad organizations such as Al Qaeda and the Islamic State make the likelihood of terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe during Ramadan higher as well.
Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant said at an Israeli Defense Force central command assessment on February 27, that Hamas is conspiring with Iran and Hezb’allah to seize upon Ramadan as an opportunity to enact the "second stage of Oct. 7," and "ignite the ground." If this is true than instead of agreeing to a ceasefire, Israel should finish off Hamas as quickly as possible so that they can’t enact stage 2.
President Biden said: "If we get into a circumstance where this continues through Ramadan... it could be very, very dangerous. So, we’re looking -- we’re trying hard for that ceasefire.''
There was a debate in the Israeli Knesset on March 4, 2024 about whether Israel should ease up on military pressure on the month of Ramadan. Yair Mor, brother of Eitan Mor, who was taken hostage to Gaza told the Knesset:
They talk to us about the easing restrictions for them, that we should reach some wanton deal before Ramadan. Why? Because it's a so-called holy holiday. So no, Ramadan is a holiday of murdering Jews. It's not a holy holiday. Who cares about their Ramadan? We care about our hostages. Because we care about the hostages, we should be increasing the military pressure, especially during Ramadan, so that they see not to mess with us."
If Yair Mor is right and Ramadan is a holiday of murdering Jews, then a ceasefire that postpones dismantling Hamas is likely to bring about a second stage of October 7.
To answer what the holiday of Ramadan really is it is helpful to look at the early history of Ramadan.
In the autumn of 623, during the month of Ramadan, a trade caravan was sent by the Quraysh people from Mecca to Syria. The caravan was led by Abu Sufyan, a leader of the Quraysh people and carried the investments of many of the Quraysh. On the way back from Syria the caravan reportedly consisted of 1,000 camels and 50,000 dinars worth of goods.
Muhammad and his followers made plans to attack the caravan. Abu Sufyan got wind of Muhammad's intention and sent a messenger to Mecca for help. A relief column, said to have been 1,000 strong, then set out to protect the caravan.
In the battle that ensued, the battle of Badr, the Muslims were fueled by Muhammad's promises of paradise. The Quraysh on the other hand were reluctant to kill their kin among the Muslims. The Muslims prevailed and slashed the Quraysh as they fled and managed to acquire booty and a number of hostages for ransom. Shortly after his victory over the Quraysh, Muhammad defeated the Qaynuqa, a Jewish tribe living in two fortresses in the southwest of the city of Medina and divided their wealth 4/5 to his followers and 1/5 to himself.
The battle of Badr took place on Ramadan. Throughout history, Muslims have taken advantage of Ramadan to wage war against their enemies. Five historic Islamic battles were fought in the month of Ramadan: the Battle of Badr, the Conquest of Mecca, the Battle of Tabuk, the Battle of Amin Jalut, and the Battle of Hattin.
Palestinians deliberately commit terror attacks during the month of Ramadan. In 2022, the Hamas website posted: "We welcome the blessed month of Ramadan, the month of jihad, martyrdom, and mighty victories."
We learn from this summary of Islamic history that even in the beginning of Islam, Ramadan was not a holiday of kindness and love. Muslims today look upon Muhammad as an example whom they should follow. In 1973, during Ramadan, the Muslim countries surrounding Israel, attacked Israel. This became known as the Yom Kippur war, because in addition to occurring during the month of Ramadan, it occurred during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. In fact, Yom Kippur was chosen as the day to attack because the Muslims knew that Jewish soldiers would be fasting that day and that many of them would be home and not ready to fight.
How could Muhammad, the founder of Islam, engage in war during Ramadan when the religion he taught preached love and kindness? How could Muslims who believe in what he preached start the Yom Kippur war during Ramadan? The reason is that it is only a month of love and kindness between Muslims, and not between Muslims and infidels. Yair Mor was right when he said Ramadan was a month of war. Instead of agreeing to a ceasefire Israel should finish off Hamas before it can carry out the second stage of October 7.
Anti-Semitism and the Quran
Many Americans have been led to believe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a conflict over land when it is a religious conflict rooted in quranic doctrine; a doctrine consumed with Jew hatred throughout its numerous passages.
The formation of Islam began with Mohammad in 610 A.D. in the city of Mecca where he attempted to convince the local pagan population he was sent by God to be his messenger. During his time in Mecca his messages were relatively peaceful as demonstrated in the following verses:
"You cannot guide those you would like to but God guides those He wills. He has the best knowledge of the guided." (Quran/28:56); "God does not forbid you from being good to those who have not fought you in the religion or driven you from your homes, or from being just towards them. God loves those who are just." (Surat al-Mumtahana,8);
Nevertheless, his messages were received with resentment by a population of idol worshippers. He and a few of his followers were driven out of town and forced to flee to Medina where he gained a following with the aid of the three residing Jewish tribes (the Qurayzah) who falsely assumed their financial aid given to him would protect them from the fate meted out to others.
Mohammed’s attempts to mollify the Medina Jews resulted in a series of conciliatory passages that contradict the vast majority of Quranic references to Jews: “O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and that I made you excel the nations.” (Muslims try to explain away these through the Doctrine of Abrogation, which nullifies certain passages in the “perfect” Quran, something not required by either the Old or New Testaments.)
In fact, while in Medina, Mohammad and his followers were reported to have pillaged villages while raping and capturing the women to be used as sex slaves, and although the three Jewish tribes feared him, they continued to cling to their Judaism. As a result, in 627, a mere five years after Muhammad arrived in Medina, he oversaw the beheading of approximately 900 Jewish men in the marketplace on trumped-up charges of conspiring with the enemy. The captured Jewish women became sex slaves, and their children were taken into slavery.
Thus, it is worth noting, the refusal of Jews some 1400 years ago to accept Mohammad as a prophet has enshrined Islam with contempt and Jew hatred for all 
of eternity. The Quran stipulates that Jews were rebellious disbelievers to the teachings of Allah and that they sinned against him. It can be found in the following passage:
"Those among the children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed. That was because they disobeyed Allah and the Messengers and were transgressing beyond bounds." Quran 5:78-82
Throughout the Quran Jews are depicted as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the wellbeing of all Muslims.
"They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims" (5:82) "They fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah" (2:79; 3:75, 3:181) "They disobey Allah and never observe his commands" (5:13) "Hiding the truth and misleading people" (3:78); "Staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance" (2:55); "Giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad" (2:87).
The most hostile passage can be found in the sayings of Mohammad referred to as the "Hadith." In Bukhari Volume 4 Book 52, Number 176 Allah's Apostle said "You Muslims will fight the Jews till some of them hide behind stones. The stones will betray them saying 'Oh Abdullah (slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so, kill him." This passage often cited by Jihadists in their quest to annihilate the Jews.
Christians too are negated for worshipping a false messiah, Jesus, "Quran (8:39) -- "And fight with them until there is no more fitnah (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah." But Jews are to be loathed and slaughtered. They are referred to as apes and pigs, disbelievers, cowards, liars, and they are set up as a target who can run and hide but cannot avoid the sword of the Islamic warrior.
While abhorrent to most Westerners, when viewed through the lens of Quranic doctrine, Hamas’ massacre of Jewish civilians is totally justified in the name of Allah. When confronted with the barbaric passages, Muslims in the West will often point to the peaceful passage in the Quran ("There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256) arrived at during Mohammad's peaceful state in Medina.
Dr. Moorthy Muthuswamy, a nuclear physicist from India and author of Defeating Political Islam: The New Cold War stated: "The Islamic Doctrine consists of the Quran (14%) which stipulates that "there is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger," Sira, Mohammad's biography (26%) and the Hadith, traditions, (60%) The two different Qurans, the Mecca Quran and the Medina Quran have been combined into one. About sixty one percent of the contents of the Quran are found to speak ill of the unbelievers or call for the violent conquest; at best only 2.6% of the verses of the Quran are noted to show goodwill toward humanity. About 75% of Mohammad's biography (Sira) consists of jihad waged on unbelievers."
When challenged by non-Muslims with the number of violent passages against Jews and Christians in the Quran, Muslims falsely claim the violent passages are only applicable in time of battle. However, Quranic doctrine calls for a perpetual war with unbelievers until the entire globe is under the dominion of Allah. Quran (9:29) -- "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." "People of the Book" refers to Christians and Jews. According to this verse, they are to be violently subjugated, with the sole justification being their religious status. Verse 9:33 tells Muslims that Allah has instructed them to make Islam "superior over all other religions."
The enormous amount of hate directed at Jews in the Quran and their depiction as sub-humans who deserve death is a threat to not only the Jewish state of Israel, but to Jews worldwide. Thousands are marching in the streets of New York, London, and Paris as shields for Hamas. As Muslims now march in American and Australian streets shouting "gas the Jews," American Jews no longer feel safe in a country they helped build.

Global Female Genital Mutilation Cases Soar to 230+ Million
Cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) top 230 million worldwide and show no sign of slowing down, UNICEF said in a report released Friday, citing a dramatic increase of 15 percent since 2016 with most cases being reported in Africa.
FGM can include partial or total removal of the clitoris as well as the labia minora, and suturing of the vaginal opening to narrow it, in the incorrect belief the cut can control women’s sexuality and make them more likely to be obedient to religious and social restrictions.
The practice has been known to cause fatal bleeding or infections, and can also have long-term consequences such as fertility problems, childbirth complications, stillbirth and painful sexual intercourse, AFP reports.
“It is indeed bad news. This is a huge number, a number that is bigger than ever before,” said Claudia Coppa, lead author of the report released to coincide with International Women’s Day.
The AFP report sets out Africa is home to the most number of FGM cases with more than 144 million, ahead of Asia (80 million) and the Middle East (six million), according to the survey of 31 countries where the practice is common.

“We’re also seeing a worrying trend that more girls are subjected to the practice at younger ages, many before their fifth birthday,” UNICEF chief Catherine Russell said in a statement.
“That further reduces the window to intervene. We need to strengthen the efforts of ending this harmful practice.”
The report also showed that four in every 10 survivors live in conflict-torn countries with high population growth rates, claiming political instability disrupts efforts prevent the practice and provide support to victims.
“Ethiopia, Nigeria and Sudan account for the largest numbers of girls and women who have undergone female genital mutilation in conflict-affected countries,” the report said.
FGM is usually carried out on young girls between infancy and the age of 15, most commonly before puberty starts.
In 2012 the U.N. passed a resolution to ban it but for the most part the globalist organization has been ignored.
