Notre Dame cathedral in Paris repaired and reopened

About 5 years after a horrible arson that destroyed the original spire on the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, it's now been fully repaired and reopened to the public:

After more than five years of frenetic reconstruction work, Notre Dame Cathedral showed its new self to the world Friday, with rebuilt soaring ceilings and creamy good-as-new stonework erasing somber memories of its devastating fire in 2019.

Images broadcast live of a site visit by French President Emmanuel Macron showed the inside of the iconic cathedral as worshippers might have experienced it back in medieval times, its wide, open spaces filled with bright light on a crisp and sunny winter’s day that lit up the vibrant colors of the stained-glass windows.

Gaping holes that the blaze tore into the vaulted ceilings, leaving charred piles of debris, are gone, now filled in with new stonework. Delicate golden angels look on from the centerpiece of one of the rebuilt ceilings.

The cathedral’s limestone walls look brand new, cleaned not only of dust from the fire but also of grime that had accumulated for years. The cathedral attracted millions of worshippers and visitors annually before the blaze.

Powerful vacuum cleaners were used to first remove toxic dust released when the fire melted the cathedral’s lead roofs. Fine layers of latex were then sprayed onto the surfaces and removed a few days later, taking dirt away with them.

One of the reasons they were able to repair it as best as possible is because, if memory serves, Donald Trump offered money for the repair job during his first term as POTUS. But going forward, no telling, regrettably, if France's government will do anything to get rid of the Moslem invaders who led to terrible incidents like these. That's something that has to be worked on now.

Update: Trump's traveled to Paris to participate in the reopening ceremony at the cathedral.

Pro-Hamas monsters made 2nd attempt to disrupt Macy's Thanksgiving parade in NYC

For the 2nd time since the war against Hamas following the October 7, 2023 bloodbath, jihadist sympathizers in NYC tried to disrupt the Macy's parade:

Pro-Palestinian protesters attempted to ruin the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the second year in a row by physically blocking the procession of floats on Thursday. More than 20 arrests followed.

During New York City’s 98th installment of the iconic parade roughly 25 masked disruptors climbed over the barricades and ran out in front of the Ronald McDonald float with Palestinian flags and a banner reading “Don’t celebrate genocide” and “Land back!”

Footage captured by journalist Talia Jane shows the group of protesters, most of whom were sitting in a line across the street so the paraders could not get past, chanting “Free, free Palestine!” as onlookers booed:

A video captured by journalist Oliya Scootercaster shows New York Police Department (NYPD) officers handcuffing the protestors as an argument erupted in the crowd, with one anti-Israel sympathizer screaming “Free Palestine, motherfucker,” at a parade-goer who responded with, “This is America!”:

The heated argument devolved into profane insults as the crowd’s “boos” directed at the protesters grew louder.

This time, the police actually cleared the litter off the street in just several minutes. I suppose it's Donald Trump's influence that's prompting them to actually make a more serious effort to prevent such monsters from acting up, though the criminals will definitely have to be severely punished this time.

Update: here's what Phyllis Chesler has to say about the subject.

A ceasefire alone will not ensure the release of the hostages

The Hezbollah, or what remains of it, announced they were willing to do a ceasefire. Then the Hamas signaled something similar:

A high-ranking Hamas official has told French news agency AFP Wednesday that the terror group is prepared to enter into a ceasefire arrangement mirroring the recent agreement between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Though the source did not specify ceasefire terms, Hamas has maintained its demands for a permanent cessation of hostilities, backed by international guarantees and a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.

On Tuesday, an Egyptian diplomatic mission arrived in Israel to explore possibilities for a hostage deal that could potentially expand into a broader ceasefire in Gaza.

Previously, Hezbollah had conditioned its cessation of fire toward Israel on the termination of the IDF's military operation in Gaza. The organization has now abandoned this position, leaving Hamas alone in the fighting against IDF forces.

Of the Israelis taken hostage by Hamas during the Oct. 7 massacre, 101 remain in captivity, with 35 declared dead

It surely has something to do with Donald Trump's election. But it still remains to be seen if the Hamas will actually release the hostages. So far, only time will tell. The Hamas will have to surrender as well.

Leftists who led anti-judicial reform protests arrested for throwing flares at Netanyahu's home

Some leftists who were involved in protests against judicial reform were arrested for endangering people at Benjamin Netanyahu's home:

One of the three suspects arrested by Israeli police for allegedly firing flares at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence helped lead a left-wing protest movement against the government’s judicial reforms last year.

As the Jerusalem Post reported, two flares were fired at the Caesaria home on Saturday night, causing fires nearby.

Netanyahu was not home. (The home was also hit by a Hezbollah drone several weeks ago in an unrelated attack.

[...] The protests lasted until October 7, when Hamas terrorists invaded the country. Critics of the protest movement say that it endangered national security by encouraging disunity and refusal to serve in the military.

Yes, what they did was a horrible distraction from serious issues like what we're facing now. I also believe some offensive incidents begun by Haredi extremists also took away attention from the subject of Islamic terrorism over the years, but even this news will have to be considered. And the criminals who committed the offensive acts will have to be jailed for all the trouble they caused too.

UK police allow transsexual officers to strip search female suspects

Britain's police system is allowing what can be called state-sanctioned sexual abuse:

Biologically male transgender officers for the British Transport Police (BTP) are now allowed to strip-search female suspects, according to a report from The Telegraph.

Guidance drawn up by the BTP, seen by the paper, reportedly states that transgender officers who identify as women can conduct strip searches of women provided that the officer has received a gender recognition certificate (GRC).

The guidance, which was approved in September, states: “British Transport Police recognises the status of transgender and non-binary detainees/staff from the moment they permanently identify in that gender with or without a GRC.

“This means that even when a person has not legally changed their sex, we should continue to use the correct pronouns and recognise the person’s gender. BTP officers/staff will only search persons of the same sex as either their birth certificate or GRC.”

Separately, the BTP has also reportedly determined that staff can wear the “uniform in whichever gender they choose” and are allowed to use the changing rooms and showers of the gender they identify with.

Former Conservative MP Miriam Cates remarked on the strip-search policy: “Are you a man who wants to sexually assault women and get away with it? Just slap on some lipstick and join the British Transport Police!

“Yet more evidence that the Gender Recognition Act should be repealed,” she added.

[...] retired police superintendent Cathy Larkman, who now serves as the national policing lead for the Women’s Rights Network, described the policy as “state-sanctioned sexual assault”.

“This is state-sanctioned sexual assault and police chiefs have lost their mind bringing this in. They have failed women, it is absolutely unforgivable. It cannot go on,” she said.

It's abomimable how such identity politics can be put to use as a shield for sexual abuse. That's one of the worst results of all this transsexual ideology that's taken hold over the past decade. And the worst part is that Keir Starmer's government probably won't do anything to put an end to it. And only Muslim women will likely be spared the humiliation.

Rabbi murdered in UAE

A missionary rabbi was sadly found murdered in the UAE:

An Israeli man who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found murdered, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Sunday, denouncing his death as a “heinous antisemitic terrorist act.”

Zvi Kogan, a rabbi who worked in the Gulf Arab country for an Orthodox Jewish group called Chabad, vanished in Dubai on Thursday.

“The state of Israel will use all means at its disposal to bring the criminals responsible for his death to justice,” the prime minister’s statement said.

The authorities of the UAE did trace and arrest some suspects, and this is what's revealed about them:

It is believed that Kogan was attacked by three Uzbeks, who are suspected of having been hired by Iran. The three allegedly followed Kogan from his workplace, the kosher supermarket in Abu Dhabi, and then escaped to Turkey. Kogan's vehicle was found an hour and a half's distance from Dubai.

What that demonstrates is how Islamofascists can hire other Islamofascists from all sorts of places to do each other's dirty work. And now it's cost a defenseless man his life. Condolences to the rabbi's family.

Former UNRWA member met with terrorist representatives repeatedly

Some new revelations made about how evil members of the UNRWA really are:

Pierre Krahenbuhl, the former Commissioner-General of UNRWA, the United Nations organization for the descendants of Arab refugees from Israel's War of Independence, met repeatedly with the leaders of Hamas and other terrorist organizations, documents presented by UN Watch show.

At one meeting in Beirut in 2017, Krahenbuhl met with the Hamas chief of foreign relations, Ali Baraka, as well as with leaders from Islamic Jihad, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Krahenbuhl praised the "spirit of unity" between these terrorist organizations and UNRWA.

UN Watch noted that Ali Baraka was recently indicted by the US along with five other senior Hamas officials for "terrorism, murder conspiracy, and sanctions-evasion charges" related to the October 7 massacre."

The Islamic Jihad official who attended that meeting was Abu Imad al-Rifai, the leader of Islamic Jihad in Lebanon, who boasted about sending suicide bombers to attack US troops in Iraq in 2003.

Krahenbuhl told the terrorist leaders that UNRWA's role was to spread their narrative and not merely to provide humanitarian aid, saying, "We will not abandon the role entrusted to us, to be the historical witness to the injustice that has befallen the Palestinian people."

Yet another example of a most repulsive "diplomat" who clearly sides with savagery, and another reason the UNRWA must be closed down.

Mike Johnson should have stated a clear position on LGBT issues from the beginning

Congress house speaker Mike Johnson may have taken a firm stance in Israel's favor, but when it comes to the issue of transsexuality, and a Democrat member regrettably going by such identity politics, Johnson initially didn't take the firm position the conservative movement would doubtless appreciate he take right from the start. It was only shortly afterwards that he did:

House Speaker Mike Johnson can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman. Or can he? We’ve gotten quite the whiplash in the last 24 hours.

First, the Speaker came out with the most mealy-mouthed non-answer possible regarding a question about his new transgender colleague, Democratic Representative-elect Sarah McBride.

Whose actual name is Tim, IIRC. The op-ed continues:

“Is freshman-elect Sarah McBride a man or a woman?” asked a reporter Tuesday afternoon.

“Look, I’m not going to get into this,” Johnson diplomatically responded. “We treat all persons with dignity and respect and we will. I’m not going to engage in silly debates about this,” he continued.

He then went on to address the “concern about uses of restroom facilities and locker rooms.” Sure, Congress will work in a “deliberate fashion” to reach “member consensus” and “accommodate the needs of every single person” — but that still didn’t answer whether he’d support Rep. Nancy Mace’s proposal to make Congressional bathrooms strictly sex-based.

But that lasted all of a few hours before the Speaker came right back out to the podium to walk back his embarrassing non-answer. “Let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman,” he reiterated to a gaggle of reporters.

Better, but still somewhat tepid.

By Wednesday afternoon, Johnson finally announced that Congress would adopt Mace’s proposed rule. “All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings (like restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms) are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” he said in a statement.

This is the bare minimum we should expect from one of the top leaders of a political party that makes rejecting this gender nonsense a core plank of its platform. The real question is: why couldn’t he do it the first time?

See, this is the kind of cowardice conservatives have to show they have the courage to overcome. Answering in such a mealy-mouthed manner as Johnson first did is not going to put a stop to the LGBT disaster that's long taken hold and become a sad staple over the past decade or so. Johnson's initial answer also did a terrible disfavor to Nancy Mace, who worked hard to ensure no abuse of women would take hold at the political level. The Democrat disgrace from Delaware did finally agree to avoid women's bathrooms, but it's clear he's unrepentant about his lifestyle conduct, and something tells me he wouldn't use bathrooms frequented by Muslim women regardless. A most serious issue to consider in all this affair is that, as noted in the article about McBride's eventual agreement to avoid troublemaking:

Mace, who became a rape victim at the of age 16, stated Tuesday she still suffers from PTSD from the traumatic incident while pointing to the vulnerability of women and girls.

“I’m not going to stand for a man, you know, someone with a penis is in the women’s locker room. That’s not okay,” Mace told reporters. “I’m a victim of abuse myself. I’m a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of a man and I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces.”

The bathroom issue garnered national attention in 2021 after a biological male wearing a skirt raped a female in a woman’s bathroom at a public school located in Loudoun County, Virginia. The school kept the incident a secret from the school community.

What the disgraceful McBride's doing is disrespectful to women's honor and dignity. It's something Ruthie Blum spoke about over a decade ago, and I hope she herself recognizes why an issue like this is also very grave. Mace is doing the right thing to work on these legal issues, and it's but a step needed to put a stop to the abuse that's become a terrible staple worldwide too.

ICC issues arrest warrant for Netanyahu

It's very sad, but now, the ICC, through a prosecutor who's accused of sexual harrassment, has issued a warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu over trumped up charges:

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant for supposed war crimes committed in Gaza.

ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, who faces sexual misconduct allegations, brought the application for the warrants earlier this year, along with applications for warrants against Palestinian terrorists, all of whom have since been killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

What's particularly offensive is how they try to hide behind moral equivalence as a shield for going after Netanyahu. His office just issued a statement:

The antisemitic decision of the International Criminal Court is a modern Dreyfus trial – and will end the same way.

Israel utterly rejects the false and absurd charges of the International Criminal Court, a biased and discriminatory political body.

No war is more just than the war Israel has been waging in Gaza since October 7th 2023, when the Hamas terrorist organization launched a murderous assault and perpetrated the largest massacre against the Jewish People since the Holocaust.

The decision to issue an arrest warrant against the Prime Minister was made by a corrupt chief prosecutor who is trying to save himself from sexual harassment accusations and biased judges who are motivated by antisemitic hatred of Israel.

The ICC prosecutor lied when he told American senators that he would take no action until he had visited Israel and heard its side.

Instead, he cancelled his arrival in Israel last May, several days after suspicions of sexual harassment were made against him, and announced his intention to issue arrest warrants against the Prime Minister and former Defense Minister.

No anti-Israel decision will prevent the State of Israel from defending its citizens.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not give in to pressure. He will continue to pursue all the objectives that Israel set out to achieve in its just war against Hamas and the Iranian axis of terror.

The USA Congress said it would impose sanctions on the ICC for this kind of monstrosity. It's best to take the proper steps now.

Update: here's more about the topic on Red State. And here's an expanded edition of Netanyahu's statement.

Update 2: Congress has now reacted to the offensive motion at the ICC, and one senator makes clear:

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., referred to the ICC as "a dangerous joke," declaring in a tweet, "It is now time for the U.S. Senate to act and sanction this irresponsible body."

Absolutely.

Update 3: Donald Trump's staff are already preparing steps for sanctions against ICC members involved in this atrocity and travesty.

Update 4: Hungary's premier says he'll invite Netanyahu for a meeting in solidarity.

Why Hamas must be driven completely out of all areas where it's located

A vital point made by Yehuda Ifrach about why the Hamas cannot be allowed to continue existence in any area where it's dominating, and also how Haaretz is again proving an abominable newspaper:

The inflammatory remarks by Haaretz editor Amos Schocken at a conference in England – where he labeled Palestinian terrorists as "freedom fighters" – is not the biggest hit his newspaper has produced during this war. That harsh anti-Israel speech was general and didn't address specific events. The newspaper's new campaign – defining IDF operations in northern Gaza as war crimes – is not only more focused but could potentially trigger criminal proceedings against IDF officers in international tribunals.

Haaretz has dedicated multiple "investigations" and editorials to this topic. Meanwhile, writers like Tomer Persico are pushing messages such as "What's happening in northern Gaza is a massive war crime... They're trying to unnecessarily expel civilians from their homes and besiege them to death through starvation."

This campaign reflects both ignorance of international law and a strategic misunderstanding of Israel's challenge. The IDF consistently adheres to humanitarian law principles established in the Hague and Geneva Conventions. The principle of proportionality is maintained, and the extensive destruction in Gaza stems solely from the depth of the problem Israel faces.

Both the Lebanese government and what remains of Hamas could end the war tomorrow by simply agreeing to Israel's elementary demands. In Lebanon, this means disarming Hezbollah, preventing rearmament from the east, and demilitarizing the area south of the Litani. Under such an arrangement, Lebanon would not be able to rebuild Shiite villages adjacent to the fence but would not lose its sovereign territory. In Gaza, it means dismantling Hamas rule, exiling surviving organization leaders, and accepting external mechanisms to manage civilian life in Gaza. From that moment, there would be no more shelling or casualties.

That's something Haaretz's staffers clearly aren't willing to back convincingly. They've been responsible for some of the worst internal problems Israel faces, and it's a tragedy any other leftists will give them financial backing.

Wouldn't teaching civilized values be a better way to describe this situation in New Zealand?

So here's a writer at the Federalist who's raising the issue of Maori members of New Zealand's parliament who caused a ruckus over a bill they didn't like, and arguing this is why native cultures must be assimilated, yet even this argument is not without flaws. What is vital for consideration from a historical viewpoint is the following:

Before the arrival of the British, the Maori routinely engaged in ritual cannibalism and human sacrifice, mostly related to warfare. A tribe’s warriors would perform the haka, go off to fight, and then consume the flesh of slain enemies afterward.

In fact, the very haka performed by the House members on Thursday (the title of which translates to “It is death”) was created by a Maori chief who had escaped capture and consumption by an enemy tribe.

Though the Maori and leftist scholars have tried to downplay (and still do) the frequency and significance of cannibalism in Maori culture for decades, New Zealand historian Paul Moon extensively documented instances of cannibalism in his book This Horrid Practice, drawing on European accounts going back to the legendary Captain James Cook in the 1770s.

Moon also noted that the Maori practiced infanticide. Their warrior culture prized male babies, so mothers would sometimes smother female infants or push their fingers through the soft part of their skulls.

As they did elsewhere in the world, the British extirpated cannibalism and human sacrifice in New Zealand after the Treaty of Waitangi to such an extent that many historians doubted that the practices had taken place at all.

Maori revisionists have claimed that the haka can represent a greeting or a “celebration of life,” but any rational observer can conclude that the Te Pāti Māori members did not intend their Thursday haka as a greeting or celebration.

To be sure, this is disturbingly reminiscent of how in modern times, huge efforts are made by apologists for Islam to obscure every form of barbarism that was ever performed in the name of the Religion of Peace. And obscuring/erasing specific histories is wrong. But there's a decided flaw in this item that needs to be pondered:

And it’s not impossible to assimilate foreign cultures. The United States did it very successfully up until a few decades ago — when we made the conscious decision to stop trying. European history has seen dozens if not hundreds of cultures assimilated (see any culture that fell under Roman hegemony). All it takes is the confidence that your culture is more moral and more dedicated to the improvement of human life. When the culture you’re trying to assimilate is engaging in or glorifying cannibalism and human sacrifice, that shouldn’t be a hard stance to take.

As it so happens, the Romans weren't much better, seeing as they waged wars for the sake of violence, conducted slavery, forced some subjects into becoming gladiators, and Jews were also victimized by their nasty side. What's so "moral" about all that? Also, consider that Islam is eating up Europe now, along with north America, and if something isn't done soon, European culture will be assimilated with a most barbaric belief system you'd think the columnist wanted to oppose. But the way this is written, focusing so superficially on serious issues, one can't help but wonder if he's so desperate to make a point, he's willing to obscure history in his own way for the sake of sloppy virtue-signaling.

Of course it's vital to develop assimilation into more civilized beliefs. But whitewashing history of Romans, in example, won't acheieve that goal at all. As a result, one can only wonder if the writer's even interested in opposing Islam convincingly?

Video footage of Hamas torturing Gazans comes out

The Hamas terrorist organization isn't just the enemy of Israelis. They also visit horrors upon their own fellow Gazans:

The Israel Defense Forces released footage this week that was discovered inside Gaza that showed Hamas terrorists torturing Palestinian civilians.

“The same civilians that Hamas outspokenly claimed to be fighting for, are the same civilians being tortured in this video,” the IDF said in a post that contained the video.

“Hamas is not only Israel’s enemy—they’re Gaza’s enemy also,” the post added.

IDF troops discovered what was described as “years’ worth of CCTV footage” of Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists torturing civilians in Gaza.

Israel said that the footage was evidence of Hamas’ “brutal methods for interrogating civilians, violating human rights, and systematically oppressing residents suspected of opposing the organization’s rule.”

None of this will make an iota of difference to the leftists who've long turned their backs on the victims of Islamofascism, unfortunately.

Jewish lesbian shunned by California LGBT movement because she supported Trump in defense of Israel

Over in the USA, a Jewish lesbian's learning what local LGBT movements really think of anybody who dares step off their plantation (via Breitbart):

A member of the LGBTQ community in Los Angeles says her friends are pushing her away after she voted for Donald Trump.

"I definitely feel like I’m on an island alone," said Tanya Tsikanovsky, who resides in LA's San Fernando Valley. "The queer people have turned their backs on me, and I’m queer, so it’s very painful."

According to Tsikanovsky, she worked in Iowa with the Hillary Clinton election campaign in 2016. Then, she voted for Joe Biden in 2020.

"I was absolutely that person who would say if you’re a Trump supporter, I don’t want you in my life," said Tsikanovsky. "I can say I regret that."

Beyond economic reasons and the United States’ southern border, Tsikanovsky says she shifted towards Trump because of her Jewish faith. According to Tsikanovsky, recent pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses made her think differently about the Democratic Party.

"Israel [changed my mind]," said Tsikanovsky. "I am a Jew, and what was happening on campuses was appalling. They should have sent in the National Guard as soon as Jewish students were being blocked on campuses."

Soon after that, Tsikanovsky started sharing her new support for Trump on Instagram.

"I had like 50 unfollows right away," said Tsikanovsky.

Finally, after voting Republican in the election, Tsikanovsky says longtime friends and members of her LGBTQ basketball team started boxing her out.

"Ever since I publicly said I was voting for Trump, I am no longer welcome in the [LGBTQ] social spheres they provide," said Tsikanovsky. "If there was a birthday party I was invited to, I’m no longer able to attend. I think it’s disgusting someone can push me out of something [like this]. They liked me 2 weeks ago, and now they don’t, just because I voted for someone."

It definitely demonstrates how, more than just ignorance, some LGBT practitioners may not really be doing so because they believe in their ideology, but rather, to undermine civilized society, in the west and elsewhere, and when it comes to Islam, they're okay with its opposition to LGBT, with the worst part being that it might what to do with its being perverse and barbaric, not unlike their own practices involving transsexuality. Something Jewish lesbians should consider is that much of the LGBT movement's antisemitic/misogynistic, something the PC crowd would rather they not know, and being a leftist will not protect them from either bigotry. On top of all that, California's currently one of the worst places you could be in the USA.

The shocking truth about a Jewish woman-Muslim man relationship

An Israeli woman who survived an abusive marriage to a Muslim Man admits what really happened in it (via Jihad Watch):

Dana, a young Jewish woman who married an Arab, appeared 12 years ago on TV broadcast denouncing her Judaism, “After my child’s birth, I started reading from the Koran.” Now, she came back to share the full truth of her experience.

The headline of the news piece was “The Women Who Converted to Islam and Moved to the Territories,” and it was an attempt to show how mixed Jewish-Muslim couples live happily ever after.

“As is often the case, the road to the territories is through the heart,” said interviewer Ohad Hamu in the Channel 12 TV broadcast 12 years ago, describing with pathos the story of a young Jewish woman who had fallen in love with an Arab, converted to Islam and moved in with him in Yericho.

“When I start praying, a stone falls from my heart. I start to breathe,” said Yael (a pseudonym), wearing a black veil that revealed only her eyes.

“Between me and G-d, I am a Muslim,” she declared, spreading out a rug on which to bow down for Muslim prayer. “After my child’s birth, I didn’t say ‘Shema Yisrael,’ but started reading from the Koran. That’s what finalized things for me, no doubt about it.”

Her Muslim husband, photographed at her side, shared the story of how they met. In another scene, she is photographed with her mother-in-law hugging and smiling, while the interviewer jokes about her daughter-in-law’s Arabic accent.

“They start a new life, exposed to prejudice, to racism as well as to hatred,” says the interviewer, referring to how they are viewed by her Jewish family and friends. “I am not a free person. I am afraid. I am afraid of the religious organizations and my family.”

It is only towards the end of the segment when the real motive behind the broadcast becomes clear. The husband’s lawyer talks about how the Israeli authorities are making it difficult for him to receive a blue Israeli ID card, and hoping the piece will pressure them.

Looking back at that interview 12 years ago, the Jewish woman featured in the clip, who’s real name is Dana, admitted the truth. “We did the interview so he could get a blue ID card,” she conceded. “They forced me to take a picture with the veil and the prayer rug. I did everything they told me, like a robot. That’s how I was there, like a zombie, doing what I was told without question.”

It’s been about four years since Dana left the destructive, violent relationship, but the rehabilitation process is ongoing. “My exit from there was a miracle,” she tells leading Israeli interviewer Yinon Magal, in the hope that her story will lead others to sever their relationships with Muslim partners.

“I want to inspire real hope,” she says. “I hear about what the female hostages went through in Gaza, and I understand them.”

Dana lived in Yericho for more than 10 years and bore five children to her Muslim husband before managing to escape, with the help of Yad L’Achim. Now, after the Simchas Torah massacre, she hopes that women in her previous situation will understand that they are being exploited and abused.

“The truth blew up in my face,” she says. “In that interview with Channel 12, I said that I was an example of how Jewish-Muslim couples could live together, but that was simply not true. It was an unhappy life.”

So you see, long before October 7, 2023, there were horrific cases like these. Israeli women who foolishly converted to Islam, and wound up victims of violent spousal abuse over petty issues. Now, it remains to be seen how many will speak out against the repellent influence of the Religion of Peace.

The continuing horror of Islamic child marriage

Abdullah Bashar writes about Islam's backing for child marriage, all at the expense of the girls victimized by such an obscene, perverted practice, and the worst part, of course, is that:

In the view of all Muslim scholars (whether Sunni or Shia), there is no established age when a female can be married off. In light of this, a Muslim man is allowed to wed girls who are significantly younger than nine, and even to engage in sexual activity with them [...]

Much of what's in discussion is too repulsive to highlight here, so read on at the article at your own risk. This is very serious subject matter, and it can't be ignored if we're to find how to put an end to this absolute horror that's destroyed only so many girls' lives over many centuries.

The Iranian regime must be brought down

Dr. Saeed Gasseinejad believes it's possible to bring down the Iranian theocracy, and Israel should also help out in doing so:

Dr. Saeed Ghasseminejad believes there's already a detailed plan to transform Iran's political landscape. Born in Tehran, he regularly participated in protests against the clerical rule during his university years. "One day, while driving back from a protest, two Revolutionary Guard members suddenly got into my car," he recalls in a phone conversation with Israel Hayom from New York. "I drove in silence for several minutes with them inside, until they moved me to the back seat and drove me directly to a detention facility. I spent a month in solitary confinement and received a two-year suspended sentence. Following this, I left Iran, leaving my family behind."

He relocated to the United States, completed his doctorate in economics, and became a prominent opposition voice. He later joined the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a nonpartisan research institute in Washington focusing on national security, which includes Israeli researchers such as former National Security Council chiefs Eyal Hulata and Jacob Nagel.

"Many people say there's no chance the Iranian regime will fall. I think that's a mistake," says Ghasseminejad. "There's currently great disappointment with the regime in Iran. In the last presidential election, for instance, voter turnout was the lowest ever. The economic situation is fragile, and since 2017, protests have occurred in more than 150 cities across Iran. Since September 2022, there have been over 7,000 demonstrations in Iran."

These statistics, he believes, indicate that the regime is unstable and the Iranian government stands on shaky ground. According to him, all the Iranian people need to overcome the clerical leadership is some external assistance. That's exactly why a five-point plan was formulated.

Well he's right that the west can't hold back on battling the Iranian regime, and the day's coming when once again, military forces everywhere will have no choice but to go to war against an evil empire, as was the case in the past 2 world wars. Read more at the article, and let's hope more westerners understand all this today.

Canadian municipality will be hosting a pro-Hamas vigil

In the Ontario city of Missisauga, more examples turn up making clear the province in focus is one of the worst places you could possibly be in Canada (via Jihad Watch):

A vigil for the former Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, is set to be held at Mississauga’s Celebration Square on November 26. The vigil is also expected to honour other leaders of the Hamas terror group in Gaza who have been killed in the hostilities.

Sinwar, who was killed by Israeli military forces in Gaza on October 26, was one of the most influential figures responsible for the terrorist attacks on southern Israel last year that resulted in the deaths of approximately 1200 people.

The terrorist attacks orchestrated by Sinwar also resulted in over 240 Israelis and foreign nationals being taken hostage, with 97 still remaining unaccounted for.

Despite Sinwar’s past, the event is scheduled to move ahead as planned in Mississauga beginning at 6pm on November 26. Hamas is designated as a terrorist entity in Canada, sparking questions about whether the event should be permitted.

Well this can certainly contradict whatever "policies" Canada has, if at all, that supposedly object to terrorist-supporting activities on their own soil. In a related subject, two Muslims were arrested for supporting Islamic State and plotting a bombing in Ottawa (also via Jihad Watch):

Two Ottawa teens allegedly plotted to bomb a pro-Israel rally on Parliament Hill before they were arrested by the RCMP, according to documents obtained by Global News.

The boys, both minors, were arrested in December and February over what police called a terrorist plot against the Ottawa Jewish community.

Specifics of their plan were not disclosed at that time, but newly released allegations filed in court detail their suspected target.

“They are alleged to have formed a plan last fall to violently attack Jewish persons in Ottawa, possibly through the detonation of an explosive device at a pro-Israel rally,” the Department of Justice wrote.

No further details were provided, but one of the accused is charged with possession of acetone, oxidizer and metal ball bearings.

This is one more reason the terrorist-worship in Missisauga is obscene. There's no point in visiting Ontario, if anywhere, in Canada.

Leftists like Ilhan Omar continue to set alarmingly bad examples

The Islamic congress member from Minnesota shouted an expletive against pro-Israel demonstrators at Capitol Hill:

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) used an expletive in response to pro-Israel protesters on Capitol Hill who called her out for her refusal to condemn Hamas and demanded that she “go to Gaza.”

The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon. Footage posted to social media site X showed the protesters approaching as she was preparing to enter an elevator with her staff on Capitol Hill. The protesters, who were carrying Israeli flags, demanded that Omar disavow Hamas.

“Why do you stand with Hamas? Why don’t you condemn Hamas,” one protester shouted. “Do you like Hamas and Hezbollah?”

Omar ignored the protesters until one of them told her to “go to Gaza” while referring to Omar as “sweetheart.” She could be heard saying back “F–k you!” just before the elevator door closed.

What are the chances she'll claim her use of vulgar profanity is "justified" because somebody referred to her with a word that's far from vulgar by contrast? Omar just made clear what's wrong with only so many modern leftists, and now that the GOP has a majority in Congress, it's to be hoped they'll take steps to expel her for all the trouble she's caused, even in the USA proper.

Trump says universities must stop antisemitic violence or lose accreditation

As he continues to select politicians for his government cabinet, reelected president Donald Trump sends an important message to universities:

All American universities must end campus antisemitism or they will lose accreditation, President-elect Donald Trump promised during a rally against antisemitism in Washington.

To “defeat antisemitism and defend Jewish citizens in America,” Trump said he would inform every college president that if they do not “end antisemitic propaganda,” they would lose accreditation and federal support.

“We will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it – certainly on American soil,” he said.

Trump added that once in the Oval Office, he would inform all educational institutions that if they permit violence or harassment against Jewish students, they will be “held accountable for violations of the civil rights law.”

“It’s very important – Jewish Americans must have equal protection under the law, and they’re going to get it,” he said. “At the same time, my administration will move swiftly to restore safety for Jewish students and Jewish people on American streets.”

Trump's actions to combat antisemitism

In his first term as US president, Trump issued an executive order on combating antisemitism by adding Jews to the list of protected minority groups under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

He has also offered Rep. Elise Stefanik, the Republican representing New York’s 21st district, the position of US ambassador to the UN. Stefanik has been one of the leading lawmakers against US campus antisemitism.

Now this is a vital step forward, and even before the universities actually take action, if they do, their accreditation should still be suspended until they've shown concrete proof they've made progress. And they should restore all history lessons too, along with honesty about Israel's and many other places. In addition, the unabridged history of Islam should also be restored to university studies.

How Europe failed in its promise to prevent evil ideologies from resurrecting

The Jerusalem Post interviewed Fiamma Nirenstein, who explained the origins of Europe's failures to prevent antisemitism, among other forms of bigotry, from reviving again after WW2:

In conversation with the Post, she recounted a recent press trip to the Gaza border, where she met an IDF soldier whose grandfather was in Auschwitz, whose father fought in the Yom Kippur War, and who himself was now about to fight in Gaza.

"I am never again," the soldier told her.

Israel is the one actively fighting a "system of hate which wishes to destroy civilization and culture," Nirenstein said, making her realize that Jews and Israel "are the only ones with the right to say 'never again,' and mean it"

In Europe, in the countries supposed to be the very guardians of these values, "There has been a true failure of the 'never again' promise," she added. One only needs to look at the crowds chanting for an end to democracy, for death to the Jews, for the destruction of Israel from the river to the sea, to see this failure, Nirenstein said.

She stressed that this happened much before the large wave of immigration from Islamic nations to Europe, bringing with it an anti-Western ideology.

The story of the denial of 'never again' began in the USSR, Nirenstein told the Post, which, with its harsh criticism of imperialism and capitalism, generated a self-hate in the West.

"This then became an instrument of power," she added.

"The way the communist building enriched itself was through the establishment of the UN" which she said became the basis of much of the West's self-implosion.

On November 10, 1975, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 3379, declaring Zionism "a form of racism and racial discrimination.”

The UN, as the seeming instrument of democracy, sought to label the Jewish democracy as a racist, colonialist, and imperialist force.

As a result of this, Nirenstein explained, the oppressors were labeled as the oppressed, and the oppressed as the oppressors.

"On Thursday night we saw the aggression of young Muslims in Amsterdam [against Israelis], and the next day, blond youths wearing Keffiyehs were the ones protesting."

"These are the children of the West who think of themselves as the imperialist, racist, oppressors," Nirenstein said. As a way of absolving themselves of guilt, the self-hating Westerners commit a sort of "suicide."

Allying themselves with who they believe to be the oppressed and identifying themselves as the oppressors allows those in the West to feel they have atoned, she said.

"It is the same phenomenon we see in universities, by which Shakespeare is cancelled, Churchill is cancelled, the founders of America: cancelled," Nirenstein adds.

"Here is a huge movement of self-destruction of the West, and in the middle is antisemitism."

This has significant impacts for Israel, which "suffers a strategic blow from this situation," Nirenstein added.

With the hiding of modern antisemitism behind the guise of anti-Zionism, Israel has become demonized and delegitimized.

One of the worst things about the modern indoctrination is that it was doubtlessly planned for decades. And now, it'll be very hard to mend that damage for ages to come.

Now Dutch police do something

After the terrible incident last week in Amsterdam where an antisemitic attack occurred at a sport stadium, now the Dutch police have taken action against more anti-Israel rioters:

Dutch police arrested dozens of anti-Israel demonstrators on Sunday, after they defied a temporary ban on protests, imposed after mass violence against Israeli tourists following a Thursday night soccer game in Amsterdam.

Hundreds of demonstrators had gathered in the capital city’s Dam Square, in defiance of the ban. There, protesters denounced the Israelis who attended the soccer game, in which Maccabi Tel Aviv faced off against local Ajax.

After the ban’s extension was ratified on Sunday, police moved in to break up the protest, instructing protesters to leave and rounding up more than 100 of them, according to a Reuters journalist.

They were put on buses and dropped off on the outskirts of the city, police spokesperson Ramona van den Ochtend said, without confirming how many had been picked up.

Even that's not enough. What they too are doing is abominable, and they should be jailed for their offenses. And Geert Wilders and his premier will have a lot of work to do if they want to ensure this cannot continue.

Antisemitic pogrom attack in Holland

An abomimable act of assault on Israelis by Islamofascists at a soccer stadium in the Netherlands occurred, and local authorities appeared unwilling to prevent it:

Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders has condemned what appeared to be an organized, widespread targeted attack by anti-Israel rioters in Amsterdam on Thursday night, branding it a “pogrom” on the streets of the capital.

As Breitbart News reported, Dutch security forces appeared unable to protect the tourists as they were ambushed by roaming gangs of masked attackers who shouted “Free Palestine” as they hunted, beat and brutally harassed the Israelis.

[...] The Times of Israel reports ten Israelis were hospitalized and three were out of contact with their families following the hours of overnight violence.

The outlet observed the attack “apparently perpetrated largely by local Muslims and Arabs, with hundreds more people reportedly besieged in their hotels and fearing they could be attacked again when trying to reach their flights home.”

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof denounced the “unacceptable antisemitic attacks on Israelis.”

He added he had spoken with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to assure him that “the perpetrators will be tracked down and prosecuted.”

Here's more information:

King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands expressed “deep horror and shock” over the attack on several Jews in Amsterdam Thursday night following a soccer game where Maccabi Tel Aviv played.

“We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during World War II, and last night we failed again,” Willem-Alexander said to Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Willem-Alexander added that the Dutch government would ensure the safety of Jews and Israelis visiting the country and facilitate their safe return to Israel.

Herzog told the king that the attacks “echoed dark and grim times for Jewish people and must be equivocally condemned.”

According to victims of the attacks, organized gangs of Arab and Muslim rioters waited for Jews who were leaving the soccer game and attacked them in the street. Social media videos show attackers hunting, beating, and injuring Israelis while shouting “Free Palestine” and curses in Arabic.

It turns out Dutch police were not willing to do their job:

Last night's antisemitic pogrom in Amsterdam came a little over a month after Nieuw Israëlisch Weekblad reported that the Dutch police were allowing officers to refuse to protect Jewish institutions in Holland.

Police spokeswoman Mireille Beentjes told De Telegraaf that she was aware of officers voicing "moral objections" to being deployed to protect Jewish institutions and that the police force had no "strict policies" forcing officers to protect such sites.

“We take moral objections into account when creating schedules. But if there’s an urgent task, you will be deployed, whether you want to or not," she said. “You are expected to behave professionally. Others shouldn’t notice anything.”

Among the sites some officers refused to be stationed near is the Dutch National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam.

This practically confirms where the officials involved actually stand even when it comes to their own local history. It's obscene, just like the assaults themselves, and all police officials guilty of racist dereliction of duty for the sake of the Religion of Peace cannot remain in their jobs.

There have been some suspects arrested, although:

Chief Public Prosecutor of the Amsterdam Public Prosecutor's Office Rene de Beukelaer said during a press conference on Friday that of the 62 suspects arrested after the violent attacks on Israelis in the city, only 10 are still in custody.

The Chief Prosecutor says he aims to try the ten suspects soon during a fast-track hearing.

According to Dutch news outlet Trouw, de Beukelaer said that the suspects are in custody for "public violence against individuals and groups." The suspects who were released are suspected of insulting and throwing fireworks.

Police say they have footage of the suspects and are also calling on people to share footage with the police.

"The investigation that we started during the night focuses on suspects who can be seen on the film footage," De Beukelaer said. "We are also investigating whether there are connections between these suspects, and how they came to these violent actions. We are also investigating whether it was organized," the chief prosecutor said.

It's not good to release those whom they did. If they shot fireworks, which are dangerous, that's bad too. Not to mention that monsters like those cannot be allowed to occupy the space around a stadium.

Sacha Roytman-Dracha says it's a new variation on Kristallnacht:

In November 1938, the world witnessed the beginning of the Holocaust with Kristallnacht, a horrific pogrom of extreme violence against Jews. Last night, 86 years after that horrific event, Amsterdam experienced another pogrom that felt like history repeating itself.

The shocking scenes from Amsterdam – a coordinated and planned attack against Israeli soccer fans – should not only send shockwaves through Europe but serve as a painful reminder of Europe's and the world's long, unresolved struggle with rising antisemitism.

The brutal attack, led by Islamic extremists targeting Jewish people in the streets, differs in many ways from Kristallnacht. Today, Jews have a strong state of their own, there are authorities to manage such incidents, and the scale of violence is different. We no longer need to wait for the world to act and rescue us – we can and do act ourselves.

Still, the horrifying situation faced by fans who simply wanted to watch a soccer match drew chilling parallels to Kristallnacht, proving that we are witnessing the ideological heirs of the Nazis today – Islamic extremists operating with similar hatred and violence, seeking to spill Jewish blood.

"I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too," Anne Frank wrote weeks before she was discovered in hiding with her family. What we witnessed in Amsterdam was not random; it was part of a larger, premeditated campaign of intimidation and hatred directed at Jews, and represents the peak of global antisemitism since Oct. 7, 2023.

The world must understand: that Jews have lost their sense of personal security. Throughout history, there have been many instances where Jews were forced to leave countries where they felt less secure, and now they are asking themselves the same question: how safe are we in Europe? If law enforcement authorities do not proactively tackle antisemitism, violence, and terrorism with a firm hand, Jews will leave and return to Israel, leaving Europe to face alone the extremism that is reaching new heights and will no longer target only Jews. [...]

To prevent another catastrophe, Europe must confront reality and acknowledge that it has become a haven for extremist ideologies seeking to destroy Jewish life, as well as core aspects of European life. This is not a problem that can be minimized or ignored. The rise of violent antisemitism is not just a Jewish issue; it's a European issue, threatening the foundations of European freedom, democracy, and civil rights.

The time to act is now. Europe must begin taking concrete steps to ensure the safety of its Jewish citizens by addressing sources of radicalization, cracking down on violent hate groups, and ending tolerance for antisemitism in any form.

Another reason why European countries must clamp down on and exile these Islamic offenders is because they prey on innocent women and children too.

Update: Wilders rightly says the jihadists who committed the crime must be deported.

Update 2: Wilders has confirmed that in actuality, no one involved in the assault was arrested:

Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom, claimed on Saturday night that, contrary to the claims of the Dutch authorities, no arrests had been made of people who took part in the pogrom against Israelis in Amsterdam on Thursday night.

“I am speechless. Amsterdam Police just confirmed that NO ONE has been arrested during the Islamic Jewhunt in Amsterdam Thursday night. All arrests have been made before and during the soccer match and NOT during the pogrom,” Wilders wrote in a post on X.

Well this is serious. No police officials who refused in any way to take action against the aggressors can remain in their jobs or receive payment after what they enabled.

Update 3: the New York Times has been panned for downplaying the seriousness of the issue.

Shapiro has a point about Israel taking aid

Not everything Ben Shapiro has to say impresses me, but he does have an interesting point about why Israel shouldn't be relying heavily on USA aid. This was written before the election, but still has what to ponder:

Q: What do you think Israel should do if Kamala Harris wins?

"I think that Israel should do the same thing whether Kamala wins or whether Kamala loses. I think what Israel needs to recognize, and I've said this to every prime ministerial candidate for the last 10 years, is Israel needs to become self-sufficient. Israel always needed to be self-sufficient. They need to be more militarily self-sufficient, they need to get off of American aid, and they need to generate an economic dynamism, unleash the economy over there sufficient to pay for all of that. What we've seen in the aftermath of October 7 is that Israel cannot be reliant on the goodwill of other nations, because that is a very precarious place to be. You don't want to be Blanche DuBois in this Tennessee Williams play. You don't want to be reliant on the kindness of strangers. And Israel has sustained itself by attempting moral suasion for several decades at this point. And it turns out that moral suasion doesn't go all that far. What actually goes far is the raw ability to sustain yourself. And so that means on an economic level is radical deregulation of the economy in Israel. It means allowing businesses to thrive and succeed. It means that it shouldn't take 300 days to do a real estate deal. It means that the taxes are way too high on literally everything, which is why half of real estate deals are now black-market real estate deals. It means that you shouldn't have to have a cousin in one of the, in a "misrad" [referring to a generic ministry in Israel] somewhere in order to get something done. It means that the stranglehold that Histadrut [the main public service Israel trade union] has on labor needs to stop. The economy can't shut down every time somebody has a political gripe. All these things need to be done. And that's not a political point. That is, that is a reality. Either Israel's going to do that and have a dynamic economy because Israel has very, very high social fabric, high IQ, high confidence levels. And all of that is being held up. Like as everyone who is American who's ever visited Israel recognizes the miracle of Israel is that it works at all because the system is so gummed up and so ridiculous that it is sheerly through sort of bootstrapping and personal connections that anybody can get anything done over there. I mean, it's insane. "You want a powerful military, you need to have a powerful economy capable of paying for all of those things. Make business easier. It'll be easier to pay for all of these things. Israel is a large enough, powerful enough country, economically speaking, that they should not have to rely on $3 billion in American military aid. The GDP in Israel is like $500 billion a year. Why is $3 billion in military aid deciding factor and how Israel makes its foreign policy? That's crazy. Israel, Israel should be an easy one. And, and by the way, Israel is going to be forced to whether they're like it or not because eight to 10 years from now, I think that there's a, the, the direction of American foreign policy is moving away from…But even though if, even if, you know, we don't need some day the aid from the Americans, we still need, out of his values we'll say, the veto in the Security Council. So we're still, you know, tied to America in that sort of way."

Q: Israeli diplomatic circles might tell you: Even if we don't need American military aid, we still need the American veto at the UN Security Council, so we can't ignore Washington's demands.

"I mean, first of all, I think that, so my view of the UN Security Council is significantly, I think the UN is a ridiculous organization on its face. I think that the idea that if Israel gets hit with a Security Council resolution, that somehow this is the end of the world, that is not true. What matters in international politics is raw, pure power. That's all that matters in international politics. And Israelis should start to understand that the, how is China or Russia able to get away with things? They're very powerful, large."

Well he's right that Israel for one can't keep relying on foreign aid from anybody. On the other hand, Israel should speak in defense of the defenseless, and should fully defend for example, apostates from Islam and women and children's safety worldwide. And if anybody with common sense wants to convert to Judaism, it shouldn't be made overly difficult with absurdities like dress codes, gender segregated transportation and buses, and whether or not men and women should shake hands with each other. Such poor notions the Haredis took to extremes have to be dropped, especially if Judaists want to distinguish themselves with a positive image. That way, things can be made better.

Military judge sides with 911 mastermind

A corrupt military judge - quite possibly a leftist - restored a plea deal given to Khalid Mohammed, offending the families of the people who were murdered on September 11, 2001:

An American military judge on Wednesday ruled that the plea deals given to 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two of his accomplices, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi, must be restored, the Associated Press reported.

All three men have been in custody since 2003. Mohammed is an Al-Qaeda terrorist accused by the US of being the principal architect of the Sept. 11 attacks on New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He and four others were charged in 2012 with terrorism, hijacking aircraft, conspiracy, murder in violation of the law of war, attacking civilians, attacking civilian objects, intentionally causing serious bodily injury, and destruction of property in violation of the law of war.

Three months ago, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin revoked the plea deal after an outcry from families of victims of the September 11 attacks. The deal saw the three terrorists plead guilty in exchange for being spared the death penalty for the attacks on New York City and Washington DC. Many families of the victims called the deal a miscarriage of justice and demanded that the masterminds stand trial instead of being allowed to enter into a plea deal.

US Air Force Col. and Judge Matthew McCall in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba issued the order to restore the plea deal.

A retired police officer whose wife was among the nearly 3,000 people murdered on September 11 told the New York Post, ”I am livid that this judge overturned the decision and is allowing these defendants to take a plea deal."

“They committed the highest crime in this country and they should receive the worst punishment, which in this case is the death penalty," he added.

Another man whose twin brother was killed in the September 11 attacks called on President-Elect Donald Trump to use his executive powers when he takes office in January to ensure Khalid Sheikh Mohammed receive the death penalty for masterminding the worst terrorist attack in American history.

One can only wonder if this was the revenge of the left for losing this year's election to Trump. The ruling of the judge cannot be allowed to stand unopposed. The judge should also be dishonorably discharged from military service and have his law license revoked for what he's doing.

Donald Trump makes historic comeback, reelected to 2nd presidential term

It's simply amazing. Donald Trump, who'd been robbed of his victory for a 2nd term 4 years earlier, has now made a historic comeback in another election this year, one where he also won my native Pennsylvania's vote. And here's some more on this amazing milestone in history:

The Fox News Decision Desk projects former President Trump has defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in a stunning victory, delivering him a second term in the White House after a historic election cycle filled with unprecedented twists and turns and two attempts on his life.

Trump defeated Vice President Harris, who entered this race just over 100 days ago after President Biden, who won the Democratic primaries, was convinced to stand down.

Trump was projected to have breached the 270 electoral vote threshold after stunning wins in the battleground states of North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

In Trump's victory speech, he spoke about how his life was spared for a reason. And he's very lucky to have made it past all the terrible attempts by the left to destroy his comeback chances. He'll no doubt continue to face serious challenges. That's why he'll need the support of everybody who voted for him for the platform of improving living conditions going forward. For now, we must wish him luck in working on cleaning up the mess the left has made all these 4 years.

Update: Benjamin Netanyahu was the first Israeli politician to congratulate Trump on his comeback victory.

Where Europe and the USA could be headed

The European Conservative interviewed Robert Spencer, who's publishing another book about Islam's history. Among the topics raised include:

During a ‘Pride’ celebration in Madrid, a journalist asked several attendees what they preferred: an Islamic caliphate or a government with the ‘far Right’ (VOX) in power. The answer was in favour of the caliphate. This reflects the enormous ignorance of a large part of the population.

Young people have been lied to all their lives about what Islam is and about its history. In the United States, there was a concerted effort to change the textbooks—and now all you find is a completely ‘pink’ version of what Islam is, one that has nothing to do with history. These textbooks say nothing about the violence of Jihad, or about the subjugation and extermination of native populations. They only have criticisms of Judaism and Christianity, which generates the idea that Islam is somehow superior to our culture—so why not welcome it?

That certainly is peculiar, isn't it? It also suggests that ironically, many of these LGBT practitioners might be willing to abandon their lifestyle if the Religion of Peace ends up demanding it. For now, if they do know what Islam is like, it suggests quite a few of them are more open to barbarism than we think, chillingly enough.

Spencer fears Europe will fall to the Religion of Peace, even if one day, there'll come resistance. But for now, it's terrible that these LGBT separatists are proving one of the worst allies to Islam, and are probably only practicing their own "faith" for the sake of undermining the west, and bringing an Islamic conquest ever closer.

Canadian university allows convicted terrorist to teach at their campus

The province of Ontario provides another look at how they must be the most corrupt place you could find in the great white north:

A man convicted of terrorism and sentenced to life for his involvement in the murder of four Jews in a French synagogue bombing, is an active Professor of Sociology at a Canadian University, and teaches a course on "social justice in action."

Carleton University in Ottawa stands by Diab, and has worked to prevent his extradition in the past.

Dr Hassan Diab, a Lebanese terrorist, was convicted by a French court over his involvement in a 1980 bombing that killed four people and injured 46 outside the Rue Copernic reform synagogue in Paris.

Diab fled to Canada, and after being arrested in 2008, entered into a six-year legal battle to avoid being extradited to France. However, Diab was extradited in 2014, but after two years in prison, a judge allowed him to be released to house arrest. He escaped to Canada on the same day.

The subsequent trial was held in absentia, and the court unanimously ruled that Diab was guilty and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

I get the strange feeling the judge released him deliberately. Considering how much corruption runs amok in French politics, it wouldn't be shocking if that were the case.

Despite the international arrest warrant against him, Diab will be teaching a sociology course this year at Carleton University in Ottawa.

The sons of one of the victims of the bombing, Aliza Shragir, an Israeli TV presenter, said that reinstating Diab as a lecturer was "outrageous."

"It is outrageous that an academic institution that is supposed to promote values of equality and justice decided to employ a cold-blooded murderer, who was unanimously convicted in a court in France. Apparently carrying out a murderous terrorist act against a Jewish target does not go against the values of Carleton University," the sons said in a statement.

Idit Shamir, the Israeli consul general in Toronto, Idit Shamir, called the decision "unconscionable" in a post to her X/Twitter.

"Hassan Diab, the terrorist who murdered my friend’s mother, Aliza Shagrir, before his eyes in the 1980 Paris synagogue bombing still lectures at Canada’s @Carleton_U."

"A French court gave him life for murdering 4 souls & maiming 46. Yet Carleton University rewards him with a teaching position?"

"This isn't just a failure of justice," Shamir added. "It's spitting on the graves of Jewish victims."

At the moment, Canada's the country that's looking bad as a result of this travesty of justice, along with Carleton university. That the government doesn't extradite him back to France speaks volumes of what's wrong with Canadian law and politics.

Even Christians and Druze in Lebanon don't want Hezbollah around

There's Christians and Druze inhabitants in Lebanon who're determined to keep Hezbollah out of their premises, much like Israel is opposed to the jihadist organization:

A Christian-Druze town in Lebanon is reportedly determined to keep Hezbollah terrorists out of its perimeter, thereby saving the town from potential Israeli strikes, according to the New York Times.

The report is a sign that ordinary Lebanese people are beginning to stand up to the Iranian-backed terrorist organization, which has been greatly weakened by the war — though it still retains a base of support within the Shia Muslim population.

Well it's good that now, those with more common sense are encouraged to join the fight to vanquish Hezbollah's remains from Lebanon. If the Religion of Peace can be expelled from the country, that could help pave the way for rebuilding Lebanon for the better.

Self-hating Jews have become a serious issue

In Pennsylvania, a self-hating Jew collaborated with a Hamas supporter, vandalizing a synagogue, and unversity indoctrination apparently was a culprit:

Joe Biden was visiting Pittsburgh while nearby JVP protesters demanded a ‘ceasefire’ that would save Hamas. One of the protesters was Talya Lubit, a recent college graduate, who told the media, “We’ve been begging and pleading for a ceasefire for six months now.”

Three months later, Lubit, who had been active in anti-Israel rallies and petitions, vandalized a synagogue. Arrested alongside her was Mohamad: a self-described “Hamas operative”.

“I can literally feel myself starting to see Jews as my enemies,” Lubit messaged Mohamad.

The story of Mohamad Hamad and Talya Adira Lubit, a Hamas supporter who practiced building bombs and an anti-Israel leftist who had grown up in the Jewish community, going after a synagogue is also the larger story of the Jewish leftist romance with Islamic terrorism.

Talya Lubit, who came from a traditional pro-Israel Jewish home, had decided to pursue Middle East Studies at a college that specialized in social justice where Israeli hummus had been banned by the Student Senate and where an encampment had been set up for Gaza.

Despite being raised in a conservative Jewish household, Talya abandoned Judaism, adopted veganism and became an animal rights activist. “Sometimes it’s as if we forget that we are animals and we kind of set ourselves above as if we are this higher creature.”

As a Middle East Studies student, Talya became obsessed with Arab Islamic culture. A profile that appears to be hers claimed that she found “Arabic and many aspects of Middle Eastern culture” to be “incredibly beautiful.” Somewhere along the way, Talya met Mohamad.

Mohamad Hamad, according to the indictment, “referred to himself as a ‘Hamas operative,’ sent a picture of himself wearing a headband with the Hamas logo to another associate, and exchanged messages with another individual regarding building an explosive device, including a video of a test detonation.”

Even while Hamad was promoting an Islamic terrorist group, he was also working on the maintenance squad for the Pennsylvania Air National Guard’s 171st Air Refueling Wing until he was “barred from the facility in mid-September” for unknown reasons.

Together, Talya and Mohamad bonded over messages “during which they planned their vandalism activities and specifically discussed selecting Jewish targets.”

Well it's clear that parents have to be careful not to send their children to universities where they can be indoctrinated this badly, and as has been noted by some, it's entirely possible to do studies outside the framework of a university altogether. Why can't even Israeli descendants understand that?

Simultaneously, if the parents raised their daughter to believe in petty idiocies like "dressing modestly", that too was a grave mistake, even if she went on to embrace a culture that's even worse in that regard, what with the way they force wearing burkas/niqabs, along with advocating jihadism. I guess what must've happened is that she didn't think Judaism went far enough in terms of such "customs", which early Judaism was far from advocating. In the meantime, let's hope somebody will insist she see a psychologist who can convince her to avoid Islam and its advocates.
