China's dictator supports the Taliban

The Chinese communists have just revealed they embrace the Taliban in Afghanistan, and want everyone else to do so as well:

Chinese dictator Xi Jinping praised the “sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity” of Afghanistan in a message to a foreign ministers’ meeting featuring a Taliban representative on Thursday, encouraging neighboring countries to “do their best” to support the “Afghan people.”

China is currently hosting a two-day summit in Anhui province of regional leaders to discuss the future of Afghanistan. Taliban “Foreign Minister” Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi arrived on Wednesday and is participating in conversations with China and other top diplomats.

This is definitely bad news. Commies of modern times are definitely taking this world in the direction of darkness and barbarism if this is type of movements China's government is embracing.

Will Joe Rogan's enemies thank him for praising Israel?

Podcaster Joe Rogan, who was recently attacked by PC-advocating leftists, made a case in praise of Israel for focusing on more serious issues than what the leftists in the USA do:

Podcaster and media persona Joe Rogan showered praise on Israelis in his recent podcast on March 23, saying their experience in the Middle East's hostile environment has steeled them for the complexities of life and has led them to appreciate it.

The podcast featured a lengthy discussion with tech entrepreneur Antonio Garcia Martinez on a whole range of issues, including the influence of progressives on the daily discourse in the United States, which according to Rogan, sometimes results in "nonsense problems" taking center stage. At one point, Rogan, said that Israelis generally don't have debates over gender pronouns and other progressive matters, because of the other problems in life, recalling the impression he got from an Israeli friend's attitude toward life.

Read the rest. I don't suppose Dwayne Johnson, Neil Young and Ava duVernay would be willing to apologize to Rogan after all the trouble they - and other such leftists - caused him over stuff they hold a hypocritical position upon? This is very impressive stuff Rogan's brought up, and he should be admired for it. Something the majority of Hollywood tragically won't do. Those Hollywooders who attacked Rogan should be ashamed of themselves.

Update: Rogan also deserves praise for raising the issue of transsexual men robbing women of victory in sports.

Fear returns to Israeli streets

Lilach Shoval makes the point following the recent terrorist attacks in Beer Sheva, Hadera and Bnei Brak:

Tuesday's terrorist attack leaves no doubt that fear has returned to Israel's streets. In the three attacks that took place within the past week, 11 Israelis in three different central Israeli cities were killed. And yet, the Bnei Brak terrorist attack was somewhat different from those in Beersheba and Hadera, because the perpetrator was not an Arab Israeli, but a 27-year-old Palestinian, a resident of the Arab village of Ya'bad, who had previously managed to cross into Israel illegally.

Yes, the Shin Bet faces a significant legal barrier in monitoring Arab Israeli citizens, but it can in no way be a valid excuse when it comes to a Palestinian infiltrating Israel with weapons and carrying out a deadly attack in civilian population centers.

What highlights the failure further is that the defense establishment was aware of the terrorist, who had been imprisoned in Israel before, and should have been closely monitored by the Shin Bet, especially in light of recent events.

Until Tuesday night, the defense establishment hoped that the deadly attacks within the Green Line that had been carried out by Islamic State sympathizers would not motivate Palestinian copycat attacks, but prepared for this scenario nevertheless. This was one of the reasons the Israel Defense Forces decided earlier this week to reinforce four battalions in Judea and Samaria. The same reinforcement units were also assigned the mammoth task of reducing as much as possible the illegal crossing into Israeli territory.

The Shin Bet's difficulty comes as no surprise. For years, Israel has chosen to turn a blind eye to the breached security barrier, partly because illegal immigrants make a living in Israel, and the better the economic situation in Judea and Samaria, the fewer chances for a terrorist attack. But this has meant that easy access to Israel can be exploited by terrorists.

Many of the illegal immigrants in Israel were shielded by the leftist courts over past years, that too has resulted in serious damage to south Tel Aviv, in example. Just as disturbing are the businesses willing to employ interlopers.

The authorities have arrested several suspects in the terrorist attack in Bnei Brak, but coming after the tragedy rather than preventing it is not enough. Stronger security is needed to deal with these horrors, and the Bennett/Lapid government is not qualified for the job.

California goes out of its mind over transsexual ideology

Lloyd Billingsly tells how California sinks deeper into its lost-cause status as a state now willing to defend transsexuality at the expense of everybody else:

“New proposal would offer California legal protections for transgender families escaping Texas.”

That may read like something from the Babylon Bee but it’s actually the headline of a March 18 Sacramento Bee report by Andrew Sheeler. The piece conjures up visions of transgender moms dads and kids fleeing Texas, like refugees streaming out of Ukraine. The reality is a bit more complicated.

“California would become a haven for transgender children and their families escaping states with anti-transgender policies and laws,” under a proposed bill by state Sen. Scott Weiner. The San Francisco Democrat wants to block out-of-state court rulings removing transgender kids from parents’ custody based on parents allowing their child to “receive gender-affirming medical care.”

Weiner’s bill would also bar the state from complying with out-of-state subpoenas seeking information about people who come to California to receive “gender-affirming medical treatment.” The measure would also make any out-of-state criminal arrest warrant on such matters “the lowest priority for law enforcement in California.” For those in the Oppressive States, whatever their gender, a back story may be of interest.

In 1980 in Los Angeles, a man named Rodney Quine gunned down Shahid Ali Baig, a father of three, then stole Baig’s car and $80. Quine was twice-married and had fathered two daughters, but once in prison the convicted murderer claimed to have sought female status since the age of nine.

According to an August 2015 LifeSiteNews report, federal judge Jon Tigar, “assigned himself to Quine’s case and appointed a team of San Francisco lawyers and the Transgender Law Center to represent him.” Tigar’s view was that denying a prisoner’s “gender reassignment” surgery may constitute “deliberate indifference” to a serious medical need and, if so, would be unconstitutionally “cruel and unusual punishment.”

For Tigar, an appointee of the composite character David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, convicted murderers have a right to gender reassignment surgery, regardless of cost. In 2015, California became the first state to pony up taxpayers’ money for the sex-change operation of a convicted criminal. On January 5, 2017, Shiloh Heavenly Quine, 57, became the first U.S. inmate to receive state-funded sex-reassignment, at a cost of some $100,000.

“It just made me dizzy and sick,” Farida Baig, the murder victim’s daughter, told reporters. “I’m helping pay for his surgery. I live in California. It’s kind of like a slap in the face.”

It's quite a horror story alright. A man commits a violent murder, and he's allowed to seek privileges otherwise unavailable to most simpler felons who don't go by such extreme ideologies. California really is circling the moral/realist drain, and a warning what we face as continue further into this unclear century. These reports should make clear it's not a good idea to visit California, and definitely not a good idea to pay for a vacation there, if it ends up going to fund the repulsive criminals they're coddling.

5 people murdered by jihadist in Bnei Brak

More of the disaster enabled by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid has taken place, this time in the Haredi burg of Bnei Brak:

Five Israelis were reported murdered Tuesday night in a multi-site terrorist shooting attack on Hashnayim Street in the haredi religious city of Bnei Brak.

A 40-year-old man, the fifth victim, was reported to be in critical condition, and evacuated to nearby Beilinson Medical Center.

According to United Hatzalah founder Eli Beer, five people are dead — but it is not clear if that figure includes one of the terrorists. The first attack took place on Bialik Street, where three people were shot. The attacker then continued to fire at people on the street, shooting two more people on Herzl Street, on the corner of Jabotinsky.

The terrorist, who was riding a motorcycle, was reportedly shot and killed on Megadim Street, in nearby Ramat Gan, by a police officer.

What matters is that political incompetence has led to more racially motivated murders that did not have to be. It's abominable, and it's not going to reflect well upon Bennett/Lapid at all. Why, their dealings with Anthony Blinken have practically led to this as well. On which note, a deputy Jerusalem mayor asked Blinken exit:

Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Arieh King on Monday called on U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to leave the city, saying he was “unwelcome” there and that his presence was “creating a bad feeling.” [...]

King, a right-wing politician, was appointed deputy mayor in 2020. He is the founder of the Israel Land Foundation, which works to purchase Arab-owned property in Israel, and has been active in legal efforts to reclaim Jewish-owned land in eastern Jerusalem, including the neighborhood of Shimon Hatzadik. His home in the city’s Maaleh Zeitim neighborhood has been repeatedly attacked by Arabs, including with firebombs.

That too is very serious, and Democrats like Blinken are not improving the situation. It would be in the best interests if he were to leave and return to the USA, which is already suffering, no thanks to people like him, from similar problems.

Update: this report clarifies that 4 people were murdered, and the terrorist was the 5th one dead.

One of Chaim Walder's victims (and relatives) goes public

One of the now deceased Haredi rapist Chaim Walder's victims went public about her experiences with him recently, and she appears to be a niece of his, and the only victim who actually turned to police almost 15 years before:

One of the victims of Chaim Walder who testified to police against him in 2008 has gone public on Israeli television and described her experience.

In an appallingly candid and jarring interview, Romi Schwartz, now a woman of 40, described how as a young woman of 17, distantly related to Walder by marriage, she was referred to him and subsequently repeatedly abused by him.

Romi was the only one of Walder’s victims to complain against him in the police. It took a few years for her to gather courage and complain against Walder, who was already a celebrity figure in the chareidi community. However despite testimonies which supported her version of events, police closed the case due to lack of evidence. Walder’s family later contacted her and paid her to sign a non-disclosure agreement which would prevent her from telling anyone, both private individuals or media of any complaints she might have had against Walder.

Bracha Walder tried to renew the agreement recently when stories began to emerge about her husband’s errant behavior. However Schwartz elected not to remain silent any longer and was apparently one of the women who referred to the Beis Din of Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu and told her story. In 2015 she had even contacted Channel 13’s Anat Goren but elected not to publicize her story, possibly after signing the non-disclosure agreement. On Tuesday her story was finally made public on Channel 13.

So the wife of the monster was defending him despite the seriousness of his predatory actions? Now that's certainly telling. Equally so is the police closing the case against him at the time; this was the same leftist-run outfit which refused to take convincing action against LGBT activist Gal Uchovsky, despite any concrete testimonies/evidence against him. I recently discovered that nearly a decade ago, Walder wrote op-eds approving of socialist tactics for raising children in Haredi society:

Why can't it be that the rest of Israel is worried about the economic future of a country in which there is massive under-employment? Why can't it be that people justifiably resent the fact that they send their sons to the army for three years, while charedim sit in yeshivos and don't show the slightest hakaras hatov for the sacrifices made on their behalf? Why can't it be that people think it's a disaster for the country when a rapidly-growing sector of the population demands to bring up their children with zero secular education and zero desire to enter the workforce? Why can't it be that people resent having to give money to a large segment of the population that claims a right to be vastly underemployed, to have 90% discounts on taxes, and to be subsidized by everyone else? (These astonishing demands were made explicitly and shamelessly by popular chareidi writer Chaim Walder and UTJ Knesset Member Rabbi Meir Porush.)

I may not agree with everything Natan Slifkin thinks, but he's got a point regarding Walder, and the whole notion the now deceased abuser's family would approve of erecting a fancy tomb for him, in contrast to how the British entertainment jockey Jimmy Savile's family shunned him to the point they wanted his tomb downgraded after revelations of his history of sexual abuse emerged, is stupefying. Schwartz was right to step forward, and she was also right to leave the Haredi lifestyle behind. That's an example many women and men alike in ultra-Orthodox communities would do well to consider. Besides, the way some of the more extreme clans are conducting their business practically leads to homosexuality, but of course, how could you expect the would-be psychologists in their communities to realize this? Unfortunately, political correctness in wider society is exactly why it'll be difficult to make the case of religious customs causing homosexuality clearly. After all, if it can happen in a religious setting, why couldn't anything similar happen in a secular setting? That's why most liberal outfits otherwise skirt around the subject; it'd surely piss off the LGBT advocates whose backing they seek.

It'll remain to be seen how much longer Walder's family will continue to defend his image, despite the sexual abuse he committed. If they're smart, they'll follow the example of Savile's family and downgrade the tombstone Walder's received as well. And, they'll apologize to his victims for siding with such vile scumbag.

Censorship on social media is bad, and Congress should do something about it

John Daniel Davidson talks about Twitter censoring people who disagree with homosexuality, or who want to rightfully make clear that Rachel Richard Levine is a male, as he insists on calling himself while dressing as a woman these days:

Something both convoluted and disturbing happened on Twitter this week that illustrates why it’s not enough for lawmakers in Washington to haul Big Tech executives before congressional committees every now and then and give them a good talking to.

Congress actually has to do something about this. Regulating social media giants like Twitter and Facebook as common carriers, prohibiting them from censoring under the absurd pretext that speech they don’t like is “harmful” or “abusive,” would be a good place to start. If that doesn’t happen, Twitter will eventually ban every conservative voice and every media outlet that dares to challenge left-wing pieties about race, gender, and a host of other issues.

Here’s what happened. On Wednesday evening, around the time Twitter began censoring Federalist articles by appending a warning they “may be unsafe” and their contents could be “violent or misleading,” I got a notice from Twitter support letting me know that someone had complained about a tweet of mine noting that Rachel Levine, the U.S. assistant secretary for health, is a man.

As a result, my tweet would be banned, but only in Germany, where, according to Twitter’s explanation of what it calls, “country withheld content,” an “authorized entity” issued a “valid legal demand” to block my tweet.

I had written the tweet in response to news this week that Twitter locked the account of Charlie Kirk for saying Levine is a man. Banning Kirk made no sense, I wrote, because Levine “is obviously a man — a man who dresses like a woman, but a man nonetheless.”

To be clear, Levine is a 64-year-old man who spent the first 54 years of his life “presenting” or living publicly as a man. He was married and fathered two children. In 2011, he decided to “transition” and began dressing and presenting as a woman, changing his name to Rachel Levine (previously, he went by Richard, his given name). He divorced his wife of 25 years in 2013.

There have been only so many cases in past years of critics of LGBT ideology being blacklisted/censored, even here in Israel, and it's truly disturbing already. Let us be perfectly clear. This silencing of anybody save for Islamists who disagrees with LGBT culture has got to stop, and conservatives, if they really believe in free speech and right to dissent, cannot remain silent any longer. Why, even the former Israeli Likud minister Amir Ohana, who's homosexual, might want to consider what the belief system he's going by is leading to, and apologize for not at least making a case why people of his standing can't approve of this.

Since we're on the subject of transsexuals being favored by the left, there's also a case being made here - and rightfully so - against the NCAA allowing men like "Lia" Will Thomas to compete against women in swimming tournaments:

A slew of Olympians, coaches, and swimming championship alumnae are calling on the NCAA to “protect our women athletes” and “rectify” the situation it created by allowing a biological man to compete with women.

The group of University of Arizona alumnae aired their concerns in an open letter to the NCAA signed by “The Women of Arizona Swimming & Diving” and obtained by The Daily Wire.

It was sent to the NCAA on Thursday amid controversy over biologically male athlete Lia Thomas, who identifies as transgender.

That letter is signed by 6x NCAA Coach of the Year for the University of Arizona Frank Busch, who formerly served as the USA Swimming National Team Director and coached Olympic teams in 2004 and 2008, as well as USA Swimming Team Director Dennis Pursley, a five time Olympic coach and an American Swimming Coaches Association Hall of Fame inductee.

It is also signed by NCAA Champion Marsha Smith and 36 other female swimmers who either competed in major national conferences, the NCAA, and/or the Olympics — such as 2008 Olympian Lacey Nymeyer.

The letter asks if the women have a voice. Indeed, do they, or has the NCAA gone the full blown Orwellian route and abandoned democracy altogether? Well most leftists aren't hiding their true colors anymore, so that could be part of the problem here. The lady swimmers should sue not just the NCAA, but also Thomas himself and all directors who allow him into the ladies' changing rooms, if they have. This horrific abuse of lady swimmers cannot continue either, and is just one more example of the west collapsing under the weight of PC mentality.

2 jihadists murdered 2 people in Hadera

As some probably expected, more Islamist violence has tragically taken place in Israel, and has cost 2 more lives:

Two Israelis, a man and a woman, were killed and six, including two Israel Police officers, were injured in a shooting attack in Hadera on Sunday evening.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is on his way to the scene where the shooters, two Arab-Israeli men from Umm el-Fahm, were shot dead by undercover Border Police officers who were eating at a restaurant near the scene of the attack.

Considering Bennett and Yair Lapid are partly responsible for this, they have no business visiting anybody there.

The attackers reportedly waited for a bus to drive by before shooting towards civilians.

Two Israeli men in their 20s were seriously injured in the attack, while a 45-year-old man and an Israeli woman in her 20s were lightly injured. They were rushed to Hillel Yafe Medical Center in the city for further treatment.

[...] Police forces are continuing a scan of the area to ensure no other civilians were injured in the shooting. Security forces have reportedly arrested family members of the attackers in Umm el-Fahm, minutes after the attack took place in Hadera.

To make matters worse, faux-US secretary of state Anthony Blinken attacked "settlers" shortly before this jihadist attack took place:

The Secretary’s definition of actions to be “prevented” that “raise tensions,” included a list of no no’s mostly for Israel, with two items tossed in for action by the Palestinian Authority, probably to maintain the guise of moral equivalency.

Neither of those two items for the Palestinian Authority, however, was discussed or even mentioned publicly following Blinken’s late-day meeting in Ramallah with Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. In fact, Blinken issued no statement at all after leaving Ramallah, nor did he address reporters at a joint news conference.

All he did was talk about "settlement expansion", on which note:

The claim of “settlement expansion” is an absolute lie intended to whip up sympathy for Palestinian Authority Arabs who hope to seize territory in Area C – the area designated for total Israeli control, authority and security by the internationally-recognized Oslo Accords, which appear to have been largely forgotten by the world leaders who so lavishly praised the document when it was signed.

There has been no real settlement “expansion” in years.

As for construction within the municipal boundaries of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria (Bennett’s “West Bank”), building has been frozen by the Bennett-Lapid-Gantz government since last year.

Bennett continues to sell out the country, all because he's so against having Netanyahu return to premiership, and so otherwise opposed to what successes Netanyahu had, which just shows how Bennett himself is a leftist in disguise.

Islamic "modesty cell" operated at Ben Gurion University campus

A repellent incident was discovered at the Ben Gurion University of 3 Muslim students who tried to enforce Islamic modesty upon Arab girls studying there:

Ben Gurion University President Professor Daniel Chaimovitz on Saturday revealed that an Islamist "modesty" cell had been operating on campus, including by using threats, to ensure that female Arab students were dressed appropriately.

Three students were members of the cell, he said.

"When we discovered what was happening, we were shocked, Arabs and Jews alike," Prof. Chaimovitz told a journalist during a Shabbatarbut (political and cultural forums that take place on the Sabbath) event in Be'er Sheva.

"There was a small cell of Islamists who took photos of female Bedouin students - and sent photos back to their clans if they were not dressed modestly enough."

According to Prof. Chaimovitz, the cell was discovered thanks to complaints by the female students.

"This is a very complex situation from a societal perspective, because they cannot complain publicly," he explained. "We live in something very complex, but we dealt with it. We did not deal with it in the same fashion we deal with other things."

However, Prof. Chaimovitz would not answer whether the students who were in the cell still study at the university.

"There are things which we keep within the house," he said. "But I can tell you that the behavior no longer exists. I am very proud of this."

National Union of Israeli Students Chairman Elchanan Felhaimer said that on Sunday, he will examine the incident together with the relevant sources in the university.

"I condemn this incident, and see dramatic importance in the freedom of occupation, speech, and clothing in the public arena on campuses," he said.

On this, let us be perfectly clear: women can wear what they want, and this is one more reason why I find the Haredi demand for modest dress by women offensive, not just because it's demeaning to the fairer sex and extremely divisive, but also because it takes attention away from incidents like this one involving the Religion of Peace. Those in Jewish society who demand this kind of atrocious conduct, no matter their background, are adding insult to injury in view of what Islamofascists do. Indeed, there's only so many in Israel who owe an apology for advocating anything even remotely similar to what Islam does. How are we supposed to combat Islamofascism if we allow such absurd beliefs to function within our own societies?

Update: more on the subject here and here.

Ugandan family assaulted with acid for converting from Islam to Christianity, and former imam attacked

An example of the persecution of apostates from Islam on the African continent (via Jihad Watch):

Upset over conversions to Christianity, hardline Muslims in an area of eastern Uganda this month sprayed a newly Christian family with acid and beat a former mosque leader, sources said….

Former Imam Injured

On March 13 in the same district, hardline Muslim villagers attacked former mosque leader Swaleh Mulongo of Bugobi village.

Mulongo said he had met with a local pastor, whose name is undisclosed for security reasons, for six years before putting his faith in Christ on Jan. 13.

After Mulongo stopped leading prayer at the Bugobi mosque, Sheikh Abubakar Sekimpi took over and organized a manhunt for him, the former imam said. He had begun worshipping at a church in Iganga, and hardline Muslims waited for him about five kilometers (three miles) from the worship site, he said.

“It was around 8 a.m. when four Muslims stopped me and began asking me so many questions regarding Christianity, but I did not respond,” Mulongo told Morning Star News. “Then the men started beating me up with blows and sticks, but thank God when they saw some people approaching, they fled away.”

Here's more:

Upset over conversions to Christianity, hardline Muslims in an area of eastern Uganda this month sprayed a newly Christian family with acid and beat a former mosque leader, sources said.

In Intonko village, Namutumba District, Muslim relatives on March 8 sprayed acid on Juma Waiswa, 38, his 32-year-old wife Nasimu Naigaga, and their 13-year-old daughter, Amina Nagudi after they put their faith in Christ the previous month, Waiswa said.

And all the while, nobody in the USA or anywhere else is willing to condemn this violent atrocity. Utterly sickening.

Important to remember: Madeline Albright was an Islam apologist

The former US secretary of state has passed away at 84, but as Robert Spencer reminds everybody, she had responsibility in some of the worst policy-making in the middle east, and was one of the biggest apologists for Islam, as well as for the PLO:

In 2009, Albright claimed: “There is no doubt in my mind that Muslim countries can be democracies. Turkey is a perfect example of that. It is very evident, and, actually, in my study of religions, in many ways Islam is maybe the most democratic religion because there is nobody between you and God. So I do not think that is something that can be used as reason not to have Muslim democracies.”

As far as I know, Albright never addressed why Turkey was the lone example of a republic in the Islamic world, or why Turkey itself was and is re-Islamizing. She never, as far as I know, spoke about the authoritarianism inherent in Islam, with its arbitrary and all-powerful Allah, and with the dictum calling for unreserved obedience to the ruler that is attributed to Muhammad: “Listen and obey (your chief) even if an Ethiopian whose head is like a raisin were made your chief.” (Bukhari 1.10.693)

She was also anti-Trump (something Nikki Haley was too, regrettably enough), and was one of the reasons we're at this dire moment in history. What she did was just the beginning of many disasters that've befallen not just the middle east, but also the USA, Africa and Europe ever since.

Jews get obscured from Tinseltown founding

One of the most atrocious results of political correctness in this modern era is Jews getting all but written out of supposed history projects dedicated to Hollywood's founding:

Hollywood’s new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures was so desperate to be multicultural, it snubbed the Jewish men who created the film business.

“The new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, which was criticized for overlooking the role Jewish immigrants played in creating the industry, is planning to make up for the omission with a new permanent exhibition next year,” reports the far-left New York Times.

Wait, wuh?

The Academy opened a 300,000-square-foot museum as a tribute to the film business and failed to mention the very men who created that film business?

Here’s the excuse…

“We want to ensure that we are taking an honest, inclusive and diverse look at our history, that we create a safe space for complicated, hard conversations,” said museum director Bill Kramer.

“But one group was conspicuously absent in this initial celebration of diversity and inclusivity: the Jewish immigrants — white men all — who were central to founding the Hollywood studio system,” reports the Times.

The whole world is upside down.

A Hollywood museum without Jews is like a Holocaust museum without Jews or an electric lightbulb museum without Edison or a telephone museum without Don Ameche.

Jews invented Hollywood! They didn’t just work there. They didn’t just thrive there. Jews created Hollywood. Jews gave us the film business, the art of the motion picture. Harry Cohn, William Fox, Carl Laemmle, Louis B. Mayer, Jack and Harry Warner, Adolph Zucker, David O. Selznick… Why not just open a museum about water and leave out the wet?

And what next? Will Blacks be left out of music museums? Will Mexicans be omitted from the history of burrito recipe development? Alas, if these Orwellian propagandists saw the chance, they'd make sure to wipe out that history too. This is all the result of woke cowardice, which basically legitimizes antisemitism, and omitting any group deemed unacceptable at said group's expense. Even if improvements are supposedly made, something tells me this museum in Hollywood won't be worth visiting, period. These Orwellian advocates have throughly ruined everything.

Surveillance authorities did not do a proper job keeping eye on Beer Sheva jihadist

The Shin Bet was assigned to keep track of the terrorist who murdered 4 people in Beer Sheva. But it turns out they didn't do a good job:

The terrorist who killed four people in Beersheba on Tuesday was under Shin Bet surveillance at the time of his stabbing and car-ramming attack, Israeli television reported Wednesday.

Mohammad Ghaleb Abu al-Qi’an, 34, killed two women and two men in Tuesday’s attack in the southern city before he was shot dead by armed civilians. A former school teacher from the Bedouin town of Hura, he previously served time in prison for plotting to join the Islamic State Jihadist group in Syria.

According to Channel 12 news, the Shin Bet did not detect any signs Abu al-Qi’an was planning an attack, and also believed he had moderated his past views.

The unsourced report said the lack of any prior indication that Abu al-Qi’an intended to carry out an attack has boosted the security establishment’s assessment that he acted alone, but noted that investigators were still examining if his brothers were aware of his plans or assisted him.

Police arrested two of his brothers after the attack on suspicion of knowing his intentions and failing to prevent an act of terrorism. The two have reportedly denied knowledge of Abu al-Qi’an’s plans or assisting him.

A really serious failure on the part of the authorities was not trying to wean him off of Islam while he was in prison. Nobody has the courage to move past political correctness. And it's led to the Negev district becoming a war zone in its own way:

Muhammad Alab Ahmed abu al-Kiyan’s brutal murder of four people in Beersheba on Tuesday, and the serious wounding of two others, needs to wake this country up to the anarchy and utter lawlessness that holds sway in the Negev.

Hair-raising stories abound of women afraid to leave their homes at night in Beersheba, of outrageously reckless drivers on Negev roads, of Bedouin gangs stealing military equipment from inside IDF bases – sometimes right off of tanks and armored personnel carriers.

The Negev is Israel’s Wild West, and it has been so for years. Laws that apply in other parts of the country that regulate matters, such as the possession of weapons, where homes can be built, obedience to basic traffic laws, polygamy and where cannabis can be grown, are simply not enforced among Bedouin in the Negev. It’s as if this large region is extra-territorial.

And this is a process that has been going on, unimpeded, for years. Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a classic bit of chutzpah, tweeted after Tuesday’s attack that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s “weakness” can be blamed for it.

“After they abandoned the Negev to [the Arab political party] Ra’am and the Islamic Movement, they are abandoning the lives of the Negev residents to bloodthirsty Islamic terrorists.”

As if Netanyahu was not the prime minister for 12 consecutive years from 2009-to 2021 during which time the Negev increasingly turned into a lawless land.

Admittedly, there's a valid argument to make there, unfortunately, that Netanyahu may have enabled it. But that doesn't mean Bennett and Lapid should evade criticism and condemnation for their own failure in the present to crack down on crime in Negev regions. If the Post won't take the proper steps to pan them as well, what good is does it do to point this out on their part?

4 people murdered by jihadist in Beer Sheva

By far the most lethal terrorist attack in recent memory occurred in the city of Beer Sheva this week

Four Israelis were killed and two others wounded Tuesday in a ramming and stabbing attack at an outdoor shopping mall in Beersheba officials said, in Israel’s deadliest terror attack in years.

According to police, the assailant first stabbed a woman to death at a gas station in the southern city. He then entered his car and rammed a cyclist, before getting out again and stabbing several people at the BIG shopping center.

The terrorist was confronted by an armed bus driver, who attempted to get him to lower his weapon, footage from the scene showed. The attacker lunged at the driver, who shot him alongside a second armed Israeli civilian. First responders reported that the stabber died from the gunshot wounds.

Police commissioner Kobi Shabtai said the entire incident lasted eight minutes, with police officers arriving at the scene four minutes after being alerted. “Citizens displayed resourcefulness and killed the terrorist in the initial minutes,” he said.

Magen David Adom medics reported that a 40-year-old Israeli woman died on the scene after being stabbed. Five other victims of the attack were rushed to Soroka Medical Center, where the cyclist and two of the stabbing victims died of their wounds.

And the leftists who've hijacked leadership are basically responsible for leading to this. As noted here, the Hamas predictably backed the monster who commited these offensive crimes:

Israeli police stated that the murderer was 34-year-old Mohammad Ghaleb Abu al-Qi’an, an Arab Israeli citizen who lives in the Bedouin Arab town of Hura and had served four years in prison for planning to join ISIS in Syria but was released in 2019. Police said the terrorist stabbed a 40-year-old woman at a gas station, then drove his car into a cyclist, then got out of the car and stabbed several people at the BIG shopping center. [...]

“The Hamas terror group praised the stabbing attack, saying it ‘salutes the executor of the heroic operation in occupied Beersheba,’” The Times Of Israel noted. Hamas spokesperson Abd al-Latif al-Qanou declared, “The occupation’s crimes shall be met with heroic operations: stabbings, rammings and shootings.”

So now we've got the sad reality of having jihadist murders on the rise again, after several years. This is tragically bound to get worse, all because Naftali Bennett just had to join forces with Yair Lapid to oust the Netanyahu government.

Joint Arab List in Knesset sides with Russia

In this Jerusalem Post editorial, they discuss how the traitorous Joint Arab List party is taking the wrong side, as could be wholly expected, in the war Russia declared upon Ukraine:

Once again, the Joint List, led by the Hadash Party, decided to be on the wrong side of history.

Just before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to the Knesset, the party announced that its members would not attend the virtual speech.

The only Jewish member in the faction, Hadash MK Ofer Kassif, explained his position on Saturday night: “Unlike the claims we hear in the Western media, and also here day and night, that this war is the like war of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness... but it isn’t. For years there were crimes against the Russian minority in Ukraine.

“In Ukraine, the regime shamelessly works hand in hand with neo-Nazi militias such as Azov. This is the truth. There is no Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness here,” he said.

Despite adding what seems to be a must – that he is against all wars and wishes that the Russians will withdraw their forces from Ukraine – it seems that once again, the extreme Left in Israel is working in the service of brutal and ruthless regimes across the world.

Hadash is the current form of the Israeli Communist Party. It is the biggest and most popular among Arab-Israelis (although is currently being challenged by the rising Islamic party Ra’am) and enjoys over-representation in the Joint List.

As of now, half of the Knesset members in the Joint List are Hadash members – the leader Ayman Odeh, Aida Touma-Sliman and Kassif.

And just like a Communist Party, it seems like they feel the urge to align with out-of-date concepts and positions that could have been seen as reasonable in Israel at the beginning of the Cold War, but now are awkward and contradictory to their declared goal – to achieve peace.

In October 2020, the party officially voted against the approval of the Abraham Accords – the peace agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

See, this is just one of the worst things about these communists who're allowed to reign by using the very concepts they despise like democracy as a weapon. Now, they're giving Russia's neo-commies like Putin backing he doesn't deserve, and leading to more disasters.

Sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants are also becoming sanctuaries for illegal drugs

In another sign of decaying cohesion, far-left-dominated cities like New York are becoming drug havens:

Sanctuary cities for illegal aliens aren’t new and exciting anymore. Truly progressive municipalities like New York City are instead becoming sanctuary cities for crack and heroin.

Decriminalizing drugs is already a popular movement, but sanctuary cities for heroin, like New York City, are going a step further by operating drug dens under the label “safe injection sites”.

There is nothing “safe” about shooting up heroin, but lefty politicians would like you to think so.

New York City’s government crackhouses look like libraries with free TVs and places to hang out. Users break off to go into booths like the kind that might house desktop computers or reading spaces in a library. But in government drug dens, they're places to shoot up, smoke, or do whatever they want. There's also a private "smoking room" for the bashful junkie.

The addicts enjoy free needles and hot towels that "really bring those veins up."

Health Commissioner Dr. Dave A. Chokshi described government funded drug dens as a "vital new service to keep New Yorkers healthy.” Nothing says keeping people healthy like letting them shoot heroin in between bouts of watching The View and The Bold and the Beautiful.

Running a crackhouse is illegal. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 makes it a crime to "knowingly open, lease, rent, use, or maintain any place, whether permanently or temporarily, for the purpose of manufacturing, distributing, or using any controlled substance" punishable by a fine of $2 million and as much as 20 years in prison. And people continue to lose homes, businesses, and their freedom for violating the crackhouse law.

So why isn’t the FBI breaking down the doors of New York’s City Hall?

It just proves how law enforcement in the USA has fallen apart. The authorities turn a blind eye they presumably wouldn't when it comes to prostitution, which is peanuts compared to this, and what happens? NYC collapses into further decay it may never recover from. This is just simply repulsive.

US government still fails to aid Ukrainian refugees

It was bad enough when a Ukrainian family in Mexico was denied entry at the US border. But it turns out that's only the beginning the problem, which extends to the fraudulent government's own neglect among the higher echelons:

As a Ukrainian-American I am alarmed and disgusted that more has not been done to help the 3+ million Ukrainian refugees A shocking number of refugees that will continue to increase daily.

Why aren't Ukrainian refugees being allowed to immigrate to America and claim asylum from this horrific war?

Secretary of State Antony Blinken was recently asked if any Ukrainian refugees will be brought to America and he only said, he will "look" at it. In Poland, Vice President Kamala Harris was recently asked a similar question and her nervous answer, with laughter, was to look at the Polish prime minister and say, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." This is no laughing matter! This is a disgrace. Ukrainian refugees have fled with literally only the clothes on their backs. Many are women and children. These refugees are in absolute shock and frightened for their future.

The guy's absolutely correct; this isn't funny, yet Harris laughed at the query raised? Absolutely shameful, and it just compounds the negative impression this whole fraudulent government's given. Worse, it doesn't look like they'll take any convincing action to battle against Russia and Putin either. Are sanctions against Russia enough? Alas, chances are they're not, and as a result, there'll be more tragic casualties in the war that could've been avoided if responsible politicians were in charge.

Update: and in more bad news concerning Russia, they put hypersonic missiles to use:

Russia has reportedly used hypersonic missiles in combat against Ukraine last week, marking the first known use of the new superweapons in combat by any military.

“US officials confirmed to CNN that Russia launched hypersonic missiles against Ukraine last week, the first known use of such missiles in combat,” CNN reported. “The launches were likely intended to test the weapons and send a message to the West about Russian capabilities.”

Hypersonic missiles travel at five times the speed of sound or faster, have lower trajectories than ballistic missiles, and can maneuver before hitting their intended target, which makes it hard to shoot them down.

[...] Hypersonic missiles garnered a lot of attention late last year after China tested hypersonic weapons last July that were more advanced than anything that the U.S. is believed to have in its arsenal.

This certainly is bad news regarding China as well. The communists still prevalent in the world have certainly advanced their vicious horrors, imposing serious danger everywhere, as has Iran, lest we forget.

Apostates from Islam are an important challenge to the Religion of Peace

Daniel Pipes recently gave a conference in Palm Beach, Florida, where he told about how ex-Muslims are the challenge Islam hasn't actually faced until modern times:

Pipes: Ex-Muslims are my topic today. Had you mentioned them to me just a few years ago, I would have said they have no significance beyond some individuals, mostly cowering in secret, not letting the world know their about their hostility to Islam. But I've recently concluded that they represent a significant phenomenon, especially as they challenge Islam in an unprecedented way, leaving Muslims with few effective defenses.

I shall focus here on the phenomenon of ex-Muslims in the West, leaving aside the Muslim-majority countries. The numbers are imprecise: one estimate has about 15,000 Muslims who de-convert or leave Islam every year in France and 100,000 who de-convert in the United States. Over time, this amounts to a significant population; perhaps one-quarter of people of Muslim origins living in the West are now ex-Muslims. They roughly counterbalance the converts to Islam, who tend to be better known, figures like Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, and Keith Ellison. That said, some ex-Muslims are also very well known, if much more discreet; hello, Barack Hussein Obama.

Yet Obama remained a very extreme leftist during his political career as POTUS, and even today, he's still quite leftist. It may be one thing to leave Islam, but unless one leaves leftist ideology behind, does it count well?

That said, the seminar Pipes gave is still very interesting, and makes for required reading and viewing (there's a video available at his site).

Biden gives amnesty to 75K Afghans despite failures in vetting

Fraud-in-chief Joe Biden continues to cause disaster and peril for the USA by giving 75,000 Afghan "refugees" amnesty (Hat tip: Geller Report):

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is giving temporary quasi-amnesty status to nearly 75,000 Afghans in the United States, including those fast-tracked into the U.S. over the last seven months despite vetting failures.

To date, Biden has resettled more than 85,000 Afghans in American communities across 46 states since mid-August 2021. That resettlement failed to properly vet Afghans against counter-terrorism databases, the Department of Defense’s Inspector General revealed last month.

As of November 2021, the report states 50 Afghans already in the U.S. have been flagged for “significant security concerns.” Most of the unvetted Afghans flagged for possible terrorism ties have since disappeared in the U.S. In one instance, only three of 31 Afghans flagged months ago for security concerns could be located.

Some of the so-called refugees who're being granted "amnesty" were, according to previous reports I'd read, going to be given residency in swing states. But what's really disturbing is that no Republican governors balked at having potentially dangerous pseudo-refugees housed in their states. If they don't vet them any more than the federal government, how do they expect to keep their communities safe?

Despite the vetting failures, Biden is continuing to bring Afghans to the U.S. at least through August. Currently, some 100,000 Afghans are seeking U.S. entry but remain in Afghanistan.

Now, DHS will provide Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to tens of thousands of Afghans — helping them evade deportation from the U.S. and providing them with work permits to take American jobs.

The move will help keep nearly 75,000 Afghans in the U.S.

And what if a sizable number of them adhere to Islamic jihadism, or any kind of uncivilized beliefs? This is exactly why it's not "temporary" so much as it's bound to be permanent, and will hurt the USA in the long run. As will any and all Republicans who allow this to continue.

Update: equally disturbing is that Biden's choice for SCOTUS has lenient views on child sex predators. Coupled with the disaster unfolding with illegal immigration and amnesty for potential criminals from overseas, that too can spell a horror story in the making.

The Jewish state cannot stand idly by while danger looms in another country to non-Jews

A writer named Tomer Dror is making a valid point why it's ill-advised for Israel to refuse to aid foreign countries because of past hostilities:

Wars and states of emergency are tests. A test of our humanity, our resilience, our values. Many Israelis talk, justifiably, about the failure of the West in general and the US in particular in this test. But are the Israelis who are criticizing western leaders looking at us, as well?

Israel appears to be one of the 20 strongest nations in the world. We are a wealthy country, with a strong military, exceptionally smart citizens, and advanced capabilities in every sector. Does that not also mean we have a responsibility?

Many oppose Israel actively intervening in Ukraine based on their stance about the Holocaust, arguing that first of all, the Ukrainians were brutal toward Jews during the Holocaust and responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of our people, and also that the Holocaust has taught us that our first priority must be to take care of ourselves.

Another element of the opposition is anchored in the present, and argues that if we intervene in the Ukraine crisis, it will endanger Israel's existence because it will eliminate coordination with Putin in Syria and lay the groundwork for the Iranians to attack Israel.

The problem with the argument about the Ukrainians' past brutality is that if we base our foreign policy on the first half of the last century, we would forego relations with the vast majority of European countries.

The second argument is much more significant. In his exciting book "The Zionist Revolution and those who Rise Against Us At Home," Professor Menachem Fish goes back to the ideological roots of Zionism and Judaism, and shows us that nearly all the moral commandments in the Torah mandate that we remember the Exodus – Shabbat, the shmita year, how we treat converts, and more. The Exodus is anchored in an ideological constitution for a Jewish state that would rise in the Land of Israel, and that ideological-moral constitution is entirely based on the experience of exile in Egypt and the Egyptians' attempts to annihilate the Jewish people.

The purpose of Jewish independence, therefore, is not merely to establish a strong state and military to defend the Jews, but also to serve as an example for the rest of the nations of the world, to "be a light unto nations." A state like that will be the first to provide equal standing to all the people who live there, eradicate slavery, provide a free day every week, and live up to additional moral commandments.

Yes, there is validity to this argument. Since many French helped Jews during WW2, that's why we should give France backing for starters in any war with Islamofascism that's bound to begin sooner or later. And depending how well they improved as time went by, that's why even countries like Ukraine could use our backing too. The same can go for countries like Austria and Finland, if the common citizens know to refrain at this point from overt antisemitism. Better still, they could be invited to convert to the Judaist religion, and it's important on the part of Orthodox Judiast advocates to ensure new converts wouldn't have to adhere to the customs of the ultra-Orthodox. That's how to make conversion to Judaism more attractive to newcomers, and give them a chance to explore what could be a fabulous gift, and find it something to embrace.

Israelis on the right who're reluctant to aid Europe at time like this would do well to reevaluate their positions as it could be very dangerous to turn their backs on Europe when it's facing the dangers of Islamofascism as much as Russia's neo-communist assaults. After all, such complacency is exactly what enabled WW2 to erupt and Germany to take over when they did. If favors aren't returned for Europeans who helped out in their time, it could look bad for Israelis in the long run. Let's also remember that Ukraine now has a Jewish-background president, and they built a monument for Jewish victims of WW2 in Babyn Yar. That should make clear why it's important to be vigilant when it comes to what bad things happen in Europe.

Yes, even private schools can be a bad influence

There's a girls' school in Texas called Hockaday that's been indoctrinating Critical Race Theory, and defending political violence:

The Hockaday School, a private all-girls school in Dallas, Texas, has defended leftist political violence and encouraged white people to “re-educate” themselves to engage in racial accountability.

Hockaday thus joins other schools in Dallas like the Episcopal School of Dallas and Parish Episcopal School, both of which are also affiliated with the far-left National Association of Independent Schools and push leftwing racial grievance politics.

The Hockaday School Defends Looting

The Hockaday School, which recently abolished a century-old tradition of white graduation dresses in the name of inclusion, lists a number of different DEI resources on their website. Among the resources listed for upper school students was an appalling article titled “In Defense of Looting,” which uses the politics of racial grievance to defend acts of political violence, calling looting “one of the most righteous anti-white supremacist tactics.”

There's plenty more told, but for now, this is a vital lesson how private schools can be as dangerous as public ones, if not checked carefully. It's strongly advised for all worried parents with children at such schools to dock their payments and remove their children from the schools, and call for disbarring the teachers and principles from ever working in the business again.

Jerusalem city hall causes outrage with moral equivalence display between Ukraine and Russia

The Jerusalem city hall had to remove a light projection display by the Old City that was seen as creating a false moral equivalence (aren't they all?) between Ukraine and Russia:

The Jerusalem Municipality on Sunday took down images of the Ukrainian and Russian flags alongside doves of peace hours after they were first projected on the walls of the Old City.

The move followed outrage by officials and activists who claimed it created a false moral equivalence linking the warring nations.

[...] On Twitter user said it was akin to “projecting the Nazi flag along with the Israeli flag on the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial and calling for peace between the two sides.”

It is outrageous the staff would leap almost instantly upon the path of moral equivalence, exactly what they wouldn't want to be the approach when it comes to "palestinian" Muslims who commit terrorist attacks. Hugely disappointing, and let's hope they'll avoid doing that in the future.

A deal with Iran would endanger America as much as the rest of the world

Benjamin Netanyahu made the case in a video against the deal Biden's bunch is looking to make with Iran:

The Biden administration’s push for a nuclear deal with Iran would grant the Islamic Republic a “nuclear arsenal” in addition to billions in funds for sponsoring terror, according to former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who warned Americans of the threat Iran would pose toward them and the world.

Addressing “every American family” in a video clip he shared on Twitter Sunday, Netanyahu called “the desperate rush to sign this flawed nuclear agreement” with the Islamic Republic of Iran both “absurd” and “downright dangerous.”

Referring to Iran’s claim of responsibility for a missile barrage that struck early Sunday near a sprawling U.S. consulate complex in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil, the former Israeli prime minister blasted the current administration’s willingness to continue pursuing a deal under such circumstances.

“Yesterday, Iran fired missiles in the vicinity of the American consulate in Iraq, and the U.S. continues to charge ahead along with the other powers, to sign a nuclear agreement that will give the ayatollahs a nuclear arsenal,” he said.

He also warned that a revival of the 2015 nuclear deal would “relieve sanctions” and grant the theocratic state “hundreds of billions of dollars in order to continue the terror that they waged yesterday and wage every day throughout the Middle East and the world.”

Netanyahu deemed the pending deal more harmful than the original one, which offered Iran sanctions relief in return for promises not to enrich uranium beyond a certain level for a limited period, claiming it would aid Iran’s ability to produce even more weapons.

“This agreement is even worse than its predecessor,” he said, “because in three years’ time under this agreement, Iran will be a threshold nuclear state.”

“It will have enough enriched uranium to create dozens and dozens of nuclear bombs,” he added, “and it will have the ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) to deliver them to any place in the United States.”

Calling the prospect of such a scenario “unbelievable,” Netanyahu warned it would pose a threat to America as well as to the rest of the world.

“It’s not merely unacceptable,” he said. “It endangers not only my country, Israel, but your country, the United States, and the entire world.”

Yet Biden's fraudulent government continues with paper-tiger policies that're certain to precipitate all the possible harm that's bound to come from this horrific faustian pact. It's an absolute tragedy the Democrats had to commit election fraud, bringing this horrible situation about.

4 jihadists imprisoned for collaborating in murder of French Catholic priest

A French court was willing to sentence 4 jihadists for their role in the murder of a Catholic priest several years ago:

Four men have been sentenced over the terror killing of a Catholic Priest in France, an attack that was perpetrated by self-described Islamic State members.

Sentences between seven years and life in prison have been handed down to four men in relation to the Islamic terror killing of French Priest Father Jacques Hamel, who was murdered at the foot of his church’s altar while celebrating mass.

The brutal killing — which saw the 85-year old have his throat slit while worshippers were taken hostage — occurred only weeks after a Tunisian drove a truck through a crowd of French civilians celebrating Bastille Day in 2016, an attack that killed 86 people.

According to a report by Reuters, none of the men sentenced on Wednesday had been present during the attack, but all were found to have some involvement with the two terrorist killers — both of whom claimed membership of the Islamic State.

Three of the defendants were handed down sentences ranging from eight to 13 years, with the fourth man — who is assumed to have been killed in a drone strike in Iraq in 2017 — being sentenced in absentia to life in prison for sponsoring the attack.

This occurred when Francois Hollande was in charge, and it was one of the worst incidents to take place under his incumbency. But this sentencing won't be enough, certainly not when there's both Jews and women who've been equally victimized by the disasters inflicted upon the country. Let's not forget Sarah Halimi and Margaux Pinot, both of whom were let down by the judicial system. If those cases cannot be dealt with convincingly, how does anybody expect to solve anything?

US border authorities deny entry to Ukrainian family trying to enter from Mexico

A double-standard has been unearthed in how the US border authorities under fraud-in-chief Joe Biden operate when it comes to refugees of an actual war in Europe, as opposed to illegal immigrants from central/south America:

A family from Ukraine attempted to enter the United States from Tijuana to seek asylum. The 34-year-old mother, who asked to be identified as Sofia, and her 14, 12, and 6-year-old children were summarily turned away on Wednesday by Customs and Border Protection officials citing Title 42 Coronavirus protections as justification.

A Wednesday report from the San Diego Tribune described the case of Sofia and her three children as they traveled from Ukraine and ultimately to Mexico. Sofia learned upon attempting to enter the United States that Title 42, a CDC emergency order to stop the spread of COVID-19, prevented her entry.

The Trump era emergency order that continues under the Biden administration allows CBP to deny entry of persons or items to stop the spread of COVID-19. Although the Department of Homeland Security has recently granted Temporary Protected Status to Ukrainians, the order only applies to nationals already in the United States.

So illegal immigrants from other parts of central America are allowed in without medical checks, or examination into whether they're dangerous criminals. But refugees from an actual war overseas aren't. This is a pure disgrace, and another example of Biden's corruption at the expense of civilized societies. It just brings down the USA ever further.

Idaho passes legislation criminalizing transsexual abuse of children with life imprisonment

The Idaho state legislature hopefully took notice of recent reports of LGBT indoctrination in local schools, and now they've passed a special law in the state assembly to criminalize abuse of children under such horrors:

The Idaho state house of representatives has passed a reform that would make it a felony for children to be trafficked out of state in order to receive transgender treatment, which includes drugging and genital mutilation.

The legislation, House Bill 675, would make it punishable by up to life in prison for children to be trafficked out of state to receive transgender treatment. It would also make the trans-related treatment punishable by life in prison if conducted within the state as well.

“We need to stop sterilizing and mutilating children under the age of 18,” said bill sponsor, Rep. Bruce Skaug (R-Nampa), who added that the bill would “protect” boys and girls from degenerate LGBT insanity.

The passage of the legislation on Tuesday by an overwhelming 55-13 margin brought Democrats to tears as they were triggered at the thought that children may no longer be groomed and abused by predators.

The Democrats who condone transsexual abuse are exactly the reason why this bill must be passed. They have absolutely gone out of their way, selling out to this ideology at the expense of children's safety, and it's hurt many very severely.

It remains to be seen if this legislation will pass the Idaho Senate and be signed by the governor. There is a troubling trend of Republican leaders capitulating when it comes to protecting the innocent from LGBT overreach. Hopefully, patriots in Idaho will buck that trend and rebuke this satanic agenda that is clearly after the souls of the children.

Let's hope they will, and get this law passed in its entirety. And the Democrats who're against the bill should be ashamed of themselves and resign from their jobs. Such ideologues do not belong in politics, nor do the RINOs who're enabling them.

After throwing his boss under the bus, Mike Pence visits Hebron

The former veep who betrayed Donald Trump now has the audacity to visit Hebron in Israel after playing a key role in leading to where we are now under fraud-in-chief Joe Biden:

Members of the Jewish community in Hebron, Baruch Marzel and Rabbi Hillel Horowitz, accompanied Pence on the visit.

During the visit, Pence met with the chairman of Otzma Yehudit, MK Itamar Ben-Gvir.Baruch Marzel introduced Ben-Gvir to Pence and said: "He also lives here in Hebron and represents us in the Knesset."Ben-Gvir added, "I am fighting against our enemies." Mike Pence said in response: "That's what I heard. Stay strong, and we'll stand with you."

Really? Well how come Pence didn't stand with Trump last year when he had the chance? If it hadn't been for Pence's refusal to ensure there'd be an investigation into the election fraud, we might not be at this low point in time. His visit, regardless of whether it's to such a famous city, is coming a bit late, and at a time when Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid are doing their own damage to Israel after all the hard work Benjamin Netanyahu did to improve Israel's standing. Based on which, I don't think Pence belongs here at all. Traitors are reprehensible.

Update: and regarding Biden, it's worth noting that his handling of the war Russia's waging against Ukraine has been an utter fiasco.

2 policemen stabbed by jihadist at Jerusalem's Old City

Another jihadist struck, and was fortunately struck down himself into the pits of hell (Hat tip: Pamela Geller):

Two Israel Police officers were stabbed by a terrorist wielding a knife in Jerusalem’s Old City on Monday. The officers shot back and the shooter was killed.

The attack happened at the Cotton Merchants’ Gate, one of the entrances to the Temple Mount.

One of the officers, 24, is in light condition and the other, 20, is in moderate condition, MDA reported. The two received emergency medical treatment on-site and were evacuated for further treatment.

The area was quartered off and large police forces arrived at the scene and collected evidence.

[...] A similar stabbing attack occurred on Sunday morning, making this the second attack in as many days.

The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) – a coalition of a number of armed Palestinian groups opposed to what they regard as the conciliatory approach of the Palestinian Authority and Fatah towards Israel – called on Palestinians to continue to escalate the situation, Palestinian Media reported.

A whole disaster caused, because some leftist politicians and allies were so obsessed with power they performed a coup de'tat.

Israeli prosecutors make pathetic excuse for not charging Gal Uchovsky

Just like the Israeli police refused to press charges against the LGBT screenwriter and "journalist" Gal Uchovsky, who was accused of sexual abuse by at least 5 men, the prosecution wouldn't do so either:

State prosecutors on Thursday announced that they were dropping sexual assault charges against screenwriter and producer Gal Uchovsky, one of Israel’s most prominent LGBT rights activists. [...]

Prosecutors on Thursday said they decided to close the remaining two cases following a similar recommendation by the police, who said there was no indication of any criminal behavior on Uchovsky’s part.

“After examining the complaints in the case, it appears that even though the complainants’ testimony was found credible, the acts they testified to did not cross the threshold of criminality,” an official statement said.

Following the prosecutor’s announcement, IGY released a statement saying: “We will always believe the victims. We will always believe you.”

Considering the IGY's management may have known about the allegations against him earlier, what's the point of this statement if they won't push for his prosecution either? This too is pathetic. What the prosecution says is basically double-talk, admitting there's credible testimonies, yet pretending there was no illegal action on Uchovsky's part. Even before this, the legal system was letting offenders like Mordecai Elon off the hook with little more than a slap on the wrist, and that was just as bad. And if they are willing to indict religious sex offenders, as they presumably were with Chaim Walder, who since committed suicide, it just shows where their biases are placed, even if ultra-Orthodox offenders like Walder are socialists.

Now, it's true the court of public opinion can see to it that the creep's career is finished, and he won't be able to return to screenwriting again after what's been revealed, which demonstrates the repellent hypocrisy these SJWs go by. And the several films and TV programs he scripted probably won't be seen again in public venues for a while. But that still doesn't mean he should be walking around free, as Kevin Spacey also is, and it just shows how, even if reports are damning, the left can do everything possible to avoid taking a stern position on creeps who exploit protected class statuses to commit abominations. Something has to be done to turn the situation around in the future.

RINO governor in Utah sides with transsexual ideologues against female athletes

A major problem facing conservatism today is phonies throwing women under the bus. Case in point: Utah's governor:

A Republican politician from Utah is refusing to oppose the transgender movement threatening female sports, and it’s not Republican In Name Only Sen. Mitt Romney. It’s the state’s GOP governor – Spencer Cox, who just wants so-called “transgender female” frauds to know everything is going to be all right.

Utah’s state legislature on Friday became the 12th state to recently ban men from competing in women’s sports. Signing this bill into law should be a slam dunk in conservative Utah, right? A state with a Republican governor, too. Apparently not. Gov. Cox promised that he’ll veto the bill.

“I just want them to know that it’s gonna be okay. We’re gonna work through this,” Gov. Cox said of transgenders. Kumbaya to you, too, gov.

Cox thinks transgenders have been treated unfairly throughout this national controversy about bigger, stronger males dominating women’s competition, reports Breitbart’s Dylan Gwinn. And the women who are taking a back seat in their own sports to men are not being treated unfairly? Give it a rest, gov!

Gwinn goes on to write, “The governor’s planned veto comes after months of tense, behind-the-scenes negotiations between lawmakers and activists as they attempted to craft legislation that would give schools a framework for dealing with athletes who identify as members of the opposite sex.”

The bleeding heart governor participated in these negotiations. He was aware of and involved with the negotiations throughout the process. There was talk during that time of creating a state commission to examine boys attempting to masquerade as girls and participate in their sporting events, on a case-by-case basis.

This is most abominable, and the man should be absolutely ashamed of himself for failing to appreciate women in sports, to the point where he'd ardently and enthusiastically participate in efforts to destroy women's accomplishments. Lest we forget of course, there's women out there too, liberal and conservative alike, who've also sold out to this insanity and disgust, and just like Cox, those in office who allow this should be voted out.

Bennett has disappointed Zelensky

The Ukrainian president has expressed his disappointment with the man who performed a coup d'etat with leftists to take over the Israeli government management:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday expressed disappointment at the Israeli leadership’s response to his requests for aid as his country fights off a Russian invasion.

“I expected greater support from Prime Minister [Naftali] Bennett,” he said at a press conference.

“I saw a nice picture of Jews wrapped in [Ukrainian] flags by the Western Wall,” said Zelensky, who is Jewish. “They prayed for us, and I thank them for it. Our relations with the Israeli leadership are not bad, but they are being tested in a time of need. I did not feel that the Israeli prime minister is wrapped in our flag.”

He's not wrapped in the Israeli flag either. It was reported earlier that Bennett refused a request for military aid from Ukraine, and this is further compounding the negative image he's molded for himself. If there's anybody Zelensky shouldn't rely upon here in Israel, it's people like Bennett, and Yair Lapid.

Here's also a history item about Zelensky's Jewish background, and what it means to be Jewish in such a country.

Sports Illustrated should be boycotted for promoting Orwellian theft of women's swimming tournaments via transsexuality

Here's something to ponder at the American Thinker, about how Sports Illustrated has fallen very far down, now promoting transsexual propaganda (I remember how, some time ago, they even glorified transvestites in their swimsuit specials, which was absolutely horrific), along with a man pretending to be a woman so he can rob biological women of their chance at victory in swimming competitions, starting at the Penn. University:

I was wondering where Sports Illustrated was when it came to Will Thomas, the lousy male swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania who now competes as a woman and blows away in the competition. (Note: High school boys routinely beat professional female athletes.) It turns out that S.I.'s Robert Sanchez was slaving over a puff piece allowing Will to tell "her story." Will is an uninteresting, immature man suffering from body dysmorphia. What's more interesting is S.I.'s relentless propaganda push.

Which you can read more about at the link, including the creep's apparent permission by the university to use the women's locker room, which is too disgusting to highlight here. It's sickening to realize that this kind of repellent mentality can occur over here too in Israel, and the leftists are certainly likely to allow it, including the Islamists.

All that aside, this is why the time's come to boycott SI, as they've become one of the worst horror stories when it comes to promotion of transsexuality at the expense of women and men alike. I remember a few years ago, they even promoted a male model pretending to be a woman on social media, and realizing what was going on, I decided to stop following their magazine. Everyone else with common sense should boycott them as well. A truly disgusting magazine they've become, and their willingness to normalize obesity was just the start of their descent into sickness.

Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky has a valid point

Ukraine's president, who's of Jewish descent, urges Jews worldwide to call out how nazism is born in silence:

In a Hebrew-language post to his Facebook page, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday urged Jewish people around the world to speak up as he accused Russia of of seeking to “erase” Ukrainians, their country and their history.

“I am now addressing all the Jews of the world. Don’t you see what is happening? That is why it is very important that millions of Jews around the world not remain silent right now,” wrote Zelensky, who is Jewish.

“Nazism is born in silence. So shout about killings of civilians. Shout about the murders of Ukrainians.”

He also referred to a Russian missile strike the day before on a television broadcaster building that hit near the Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial site, causing damage to the surrounding area.

“We all were bombed last night in Kyiv, and we all died again at Babyn Yar from the missile attack, even though the world pledges ‘Never again,'” he wrote.

There's a lot of validity in Zelensky's recommendations, and we shouldn't be silent when non-Jewish life is in danger either. This is exactly why such disasters continue to happen, tragically.

Putin still allowed to post on major social media despite proving he's a despot/tyrant

While Donald Trump remains banned from using Twitter, Russia's autocrat Vladimir Putin so far is still allowed to retain his usage of the same:

Despite Russia’s invasion of Ukraine being condemned by the U.S. and kindred countries around the world, Twitter continues to allow Russian President Vladimir to post on its platform.

Twitter, which has permanently banned former U.S. President Donald Trump, has yet to suspend or ban @KremlinRussia_E, the official account of the “President of Russia.”

[...] The Russian president isn’t the only violent, controversial figure that Twitter has yet to ban. As CNSNews.com previously reported, Twitter continues to allow Taliban spokesmen to post to its platform.

So they continue to prove they're one of the most truly awful social media sites around, and it's head-shaking why so many businesses continue to make use of them, when there are other social media servers around that could be more responsible. This is a pure disgrace, and above all, very harmful what they're allowing.

Update: as if the above weren't bad enough, CBS is rubbing salt into the injuries by assailing Ukraine for not being pro-transsexuality. At a time when many defenseless people are dying from Russia's assault, this is what they're worried about? Disgusting.
