Vance continues to be a worry

As though it weren't bad enough that Israel suffered a dreadful election result, as did the USA, vice president J.D Vance continues to give signs he wants to take a negative path on Israel:

Vance’s wording — “change our relationship with Israel” — was awfully interesting, because it’s a suspiciously open-ended phrase: Moving closer to Israel would also be a change, yet somehow, I doubt that’s what Vance intended.

Fox News’ politics editor, Katelyn Caralle, also doubts it. She wrote, “A source familiar with post-election schedules said the Vice President’s X post today was made after a White House meeting on aligning messaging following Tuesday’s Republican bloodbath. Instead, [Vance] took control of his own response. One Trump official described Vance’s post as a rallying cry to the “new right” — a coalition of Republicans that align with Trump’s “America First” movement but believe the president is too aligned with Israel on foreign policy.”

JD Vance’s 2028 strategy is clear: He’s not looking to inherit Donald Trump’s MAGA movement. That’s why he’s not even trying to reunite it.

He’s building a brand-new movement — the “new right” — and it’s significantly closer to Tucker Carlson’s worldview than to Ted Cruz's or Ron DeSantis's.

And to date, Vance won't distance himself from Carlson. If this is how Vance is going to act, it's doubtful he wants to save Europe from Islam's encroachment, if at all. If he is planning to run for the nomination in 2028, that's very bad, especially if he wins it.

Update: Ari Fleischer and Brit Hume had a good response to Vance:

Republicans who supported the strikes are now criticizing the ceasefire. Ari Fleischer, who called the decision to attack “the right decision,” answered Vance: “The problem was not the Iran War. It was the ceasefire.” He said Vance had negotiated a truce that failed and left Americans facing higher prices with troops still deployed. Brit Hume said Vance had been “hornswoggled by the Iranians into a deal they would never live up to, and didn’t.” [...]

The polling argument needs scrutiny, too. Vance says an unnamed pollster asked former Trump voters what would bring them back: ending the war, addressing living costs, putting America first, and changing the relationship with Israel.

That last item in particular has a longer history than Wednesday’s post. Since June, Vance has repeatedly pointed at Israel when defending his Iran diplomacy. In July, for example, he told Joe Rogan that “certain people within the Israeli government” were behind “a literal foreign influence campaign” to “tank the very deal that I was pursuing.” On Wednesday, “change our relationship to Israel” became the fourth thing Trump voters supposedly want, on the word of a pollster he has not identified.

That pandering has an audience. Vance’s good friend Tucker Carlson has consistently cast the war as serving Israel’s interests while praising the VP. In a post viewed 95 million times in the campaign’s final days, he wrote that Netanyahu “needs this war” and praised Vance as one of two men in the administration arguing for a deal. Marjorie Taylor Greene replied to Vance’s post: “You should have listened to me and Tucker.”

Vance certainly appears to be courting that crowd, with an asset a vice president controls: his account of who is to blame. Not everyone in that crowd wants him, either. Nick Fuentes told his followers to vote for Democrats to punish Republicans and said on election night that the party must be rebuilt “with the groypers” and that “it cannot involve Trump, Vance.”

Hmm, wasn't Fuentes the same man disgraced columnists like Michelle Malkin ran around with once? Well he sure has shown his true colors alright. No wonder such a fiasco took place this month.

Europe needs to reconquer itself

Some history of the Islamic conquests of Europe in past centuries that can serve as important food for thought on if and how Europe can retake what it's lost in modern times: Undoubtedly, the specter of the memory of colonization weighs heavily on the European mind.

Recalling the doings of France in North Africa and Greater Syria, England in Egypt, the Middle East and India, Italy and Germany in Africa, the Netherlands in East Asia, Belgium in Africa and even Sweden has been a political and cultural heritage that has plagued their consciences, or, to borrow an image from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem: as an albatross about their neck hung.

The shame, uneasiness and desire to come to terms with that period and those deeds most probably have served as a rationalization for so many politicians, public servants, intellectuals and cultural artists who have either welcomed or approved of the demographic alteration of major European countries over the past half-century.

Whether it be a subservient attitude on the one hand, and on the other, an almost complete ignoring of the undeniable results of such laxness regarding the open-borders policies these countries have practiced, we are witnessing another stage of the ongoing conquest of Europe by the Third World, and foremost, by Islam.[...]

Islamic marauding forces reached and occupied parts of southern France during the 700s after the Umayyad Caliphate’s conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. Arabs and Berbers crossed the Pyrenees Mountains into southern Gaul. Narbonne fell to Muslim forces in 719 or 720 and served as the primary military base for Islamic forces in France for nearly 40 years.

Nîmes and Avignon were also captured. Toulouse was besieged but held. Muslim forces marched more than 400 miles to fight at Tours in 732, though they were defeated on the way by the leader of the Franks, Charles Martel. It was Martel’s son, Pepin, who ended the Muslim presence in France in 759. France had been reconquered.

The better-known Spanish Reconquista, in which Christian kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula gradually reclaimed control of Muslim-ruled lands known as al-Andalus, took centuries—from 718 to 1492. In 1492, the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella captured the Emirate of Granada and expelled and banished the Jews of their realm.

We can only hope the horror story now occurring in modern times will be reversed one day. But that also depends on how much anybody, even in Israel, is willing to help out.

Barack Obama incites against Israel at Irish university

The leftist ex-president of the USA told anti-Israelists at an Irish university exactly what they wanted to hear:

Former US president Barack Obama said on Tuesday that Israel "took land off people and they were excessive," in reference to Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people throughout the history of the nation.

Obama made his comments while visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland, to receive an honorary doctorate from Queen's University Belfast.

In a conversation with journalist Susan McKay, the former president referred to the Palestinians' reaction to the Jewish people's exerting cultural and military control over the State of Israel by explaining that "those people understandably said, 'This is injustice, and I want my land back.'"

Something Obama completely obscures in this disgraceful tommyrot of his is the question of whether men and women who commit murder and rape deserve any kind of sovereignty and whether they deserve to be politicians and be recognized as "leaders". Obama's proven he hasn't changed a bit in all the years since he was president, and continues to spread anti-Israel libels in even worse ways than when he was in office. And the university in Belfast even gives him an award he doesn't deserve. Which only proves how these types of honorary degrees and awards only exist today for leftist causes.

J.D. Vance's sloppy take on socialism

The USA vice president recently commented on what he thought socialism was intended to be, and did not give a good response:

“Socialism, classically, was about prioritizing workers. ... Now I think that, in reality, what it truly means in the American context is wanting to replace American workers with foreign workers, and wanting boys to participate in girls’ sports.”

That was the response given by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance during a press gaggle Thursday when asked for his definition of socialism. His remarks have since drawn commentary from the vast community of exiles from socialist regimes who have found refuge in the United States.

The Vice President’s statement was “the worst answer I’ve heard from a conservative in decades,” according to Venezuelan activist Emanuel Rincón. “The truth is that socialists have never cared about workers; they have cared about dominating the means of production or the profits derived from them, about holding total power and harassing citizens, and about extinguishing freedoms — not about doing what J.D. Vance suggests here.”

And this is why there are folks out there who believe Vance will not make a good candidate for POTUS in the next few years. He really blew it, and emerges little better than he did when discussing Israel, in example. And he didn't help matters when he said the other year that if Iranians want to topple the autocracy, "it's up to them". That was very ill-advised too.

While I agree with Rincón, there is some truth to what the vice president said: modern socialism is intrinsically linked to “wokeism” and its ridiculous ideas.

It’s unrealistic to expect a politician to look good or be perfectly on point every time they appear on camera. We are all human beings. Nevertheless, I believe it is important to clarify the concept of socialism — an ideology that has led to the worst horrors known in modern history on every continent where it has been implemented.

Socialism originated as an idea to transform economic and political systems, as well as class relations. Karl Marx, the quintessential intellectual of that ideology, illustrated this in his Critique of the Gotha Program, describing it as a “cooperative society based on common ownership of the means of production.”

Socialists described socialism as the first rung — the phase immediately preceding — in the establishment of a communist society in which the State would cease to exist. Yet, to “socialize” the means of production (in plain terms: stripping ownership from those who held it), it was imperative to employ the coercive force of that very State they claimed would eventually be abolished.

Do you follow the idea? I know it sounds crazy, but believe me: someone like me — who lived under a totalitarian system where these concepts were treated as gospel — can attest that they are not merely foolish, but malevolent. My country, Cuba, went from having an economy that rivaled those of Europe to competing with Haiti for the lowest rank in the hemisphere. My city, Havana — which once boasted more movie theaters than Paris or New York — has now become, as I have said before, a “Pompeii of Salt.”

And Vance isn't well informed on that? Sigh. And let's also consider that Islam follows similar paths in its ideology, and many places that fell to Islam like Iran, have been turned into horror stories even worse. Vance needs to brush up on his knowledge, but for now, he's provided more reasons not to support him as a full presidential candidate if he runs for nomination in 2 years.

Poll finds 4 in 10 young USA citizens support Islamic sharia

I rarely read the Federalist site now, because of how some writers like editor John Daniel Davidson leave a bad aftertaste, but the following report (via Jihad Watch and Front Page), which is favorable to Israel as well, tells the USA has a very sad case of whole generations who were indoctrinated into being Vladimir Lenin's "useful idiots":

A set of polls released this week by Our Republic and Rasmussen show a concerning trend among American youth, especially in light of recently revealed immigration numbers under Biden: A quarter of 18-35 voters polled would support a community implementing Sharia law as the legal code for the entire town, city, or state if the majority of residents living there desired its adoption.

Additionally, according to the Our Republic poll:

Overall, 21% of likely voters said they have a mostly or somewhat positive opinion of sharia, compared with 57% who have a negative opinion. Positive views were much higher among younger Americans, including 43% of voters ages 18–24 and 39% of those ages 25–29.

The reason American youth may be trending this way, according to Justin Haskins, president of Our Republic, is a lack of understanding about the “value [of] the Constitution and the protections it provides.”

It could also be that they lack appreciation of civilized values, and if it turns out they know more than we think about what Islam is like, they're actually okay with it.

Other findings from the same set of polls clarify the suspicion young people have of Israel, with 46 percent of voters ages 18–24 and 60 percent of those ages 25–29 reporting they would support a proposal “to completely dismantle Israel and replace it with a Palestinian-led nation in exchange for ending the war with Iran and providing the United States with lower oil and gas prices.”

Haskins does not believe that American youth who take these positions are necessarily committed Islamists, nor does he believe they are considering Sharia primarily “as an extension of religious liberty.” Rather, says Haskins, “the more important factor is that Muslims are widely perceived as an oppressed or marginalized group in the United States,” he says. “Within that framework, groups perceived as marginalized are often treated sympathetically without much scrutiny of what those groups or their belief systems actually teach.”

That's another chilling problem - they practically indoctrinated into taking predetermined positions, yet if and when it turns out some leftists get caught committing crimes, those who pretend they're not guilty complain the MSM is just cliche-hunting and never does any research. This is exactly why laws are badly needed to deal with such an issue as sharia. It wouldn't be shocking if the pro-sharia crowd they speak of is already willing to support imposing sharia in cities like Dearborn and Hamtramyck, Michigan. Also, if they're against the war on Iran's autocrats, that too speaks volumes, as does their hostility to Israel, and their potential desensitization/willingness to commit violence, the latter which is particularly offensive.

Now since we're on the subject, the Van Zandt County committee in Texas passed a resolution condemning sharia:

Van Zandt County Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution Wednesday denouncing Sharia, making it the first Texas county to pass a resolution specifically addressing use of the Islamic religious code.

Van Zandt County Precinct 2 Commissioner Cliff Williams said he brought the resolution forward because of an 80-acre land purchase in southern Van Zandt County by a family with ties to Muslim youth organizations.

The resolution was inspired by a draft resolution introduced by Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, that denounces Sharia in the United States. Self’s resolution has not been passed by Congress.

While introducing the resolution, Williams explained how Sharia is practiced in various Muslim-majority countries.

“Sharia, as practiced by governments around the world, is more than a private devotion. It operates as a complete political and legal order,” he said. “Where states enforce it, the record speaks for itself. In Iran, women have been beaten in jail for uncovering their hair. In Pakistan, blasphemy laws have sent people to prison and stirred mobs against them on a single person’s accusation.”

Williams also discussed the treatment of women under some interpretations and applications of Sharia, saying a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s, her inheritance is half that of her brothers, and her ability to work, marry or travel can depend on a male guardian.

“It’s not American,” Williams said. “Compare that with what we hold as Americans and Texans. Every person stands equal before the law.”

This is also exactly why even abroad/overseas, we can't just stand idly by while Islam dominates anywhere else. And parents who really care have to start taking serious responsibility for what their children think and end up advocating.

Update: the surveys get worse, as the following from the Buckley Institute reveals there's a considerable number of undergraduate students who believe what Hasan Piker espoused:

Just weeks after the United States commemorated the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks, a new poll reveals more than one in five undergraduate students believe America deserved the attacks, while nearly half of all undergraduate students think physical violence is justified to stop so-called hate speech.

The Buckley Institute’s 2026 National Undergraduate Student Survey polled 803 American undergraduate students between September 5 and 14.

A shocking 22 percent agreed that America deserved 9/11, including 28 percent of liberal students. Notably, leftist streamer Hasan Piker — who campaigned with Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and cozies up to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — has said America deserved 9/11. Meanwhile, Aber Kawas, a Democratic Socialist of America member and nominee for the New York state Senate, has said that America brought on 9/11 because of capitalism, alleged white supremacy and racism, and alleged Islamophobia.

The poll also found that 45 percent of American college students believe physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech — among which 54 percent of liberals agree compared to 30 percent of conservatives.

“Interestingly, 72% of those who agree that physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech also agree that hate speech is protected by the First Amendment,” The Buckley Institute found.

Shortly after Charlie Kirk was murdered on a Utah college campus for his free speech, a YouGov survey conducted from September 10-12 asked respondent whether they think “it is ever justified for citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals?” Twenty-five percent of respondents who identified as “very liberal” said it can be justified, while 17% of self-identified liberals said the same. Just nine percent of people who identify as either conservative or very conservative said it was justified.

Meanwhile, a recent poll conducted by the Center for Strategic Politics found “Democrats want Trump out by (almost) any means necessary” — including assassination.

Well this is also very chilling, and fully confirms why parents need to stop even sending their children to universities, even if they don't espouse this kind of garbage indoctrination. The influence of violence is a very grave issue that needs serious address everywhere, and Europe too is in sore need of it.

Defeatism in the 1990s

In this article, Dror Eydar talks about the Islamofascist horror engulfing Europe, and brings up something he was told about that occurred in Belgium during the 1990s:

A prominent professor once told me about a conversation he had with a Belgian colleague back in the 1990s. "Look at all the mosques springing up on every corner," he told him. "What will you do when the Muslims actually start taking over Belgium? How will you fight them?"

The Belgian, a devout Catholic, answered candidly: "We won't fight. We'll convert to Islam. They ruled Western Europe once before, so they'll rule it again." While the enemies of the West are prepared to sacrifice their lives to destroy Judeo-Christian civilization, European society is unwilling to pay a price to defend its freedom.

This reminds me of what was said about what the Christian leadership response could be to a movie based on Betty Mahmoody's horrifying experiences in Iran today. Do these people really lack that much confidence they're willing to literally sell out? Additionally terrifying is what the USA public's positions could be on this, recalling how, in a way, the surveys they led to crippled the military's ability to fight the war against Iran on the ground as much as in the air. If the Bush administration, pretentious as it was, was willing to fight Iraq on the ground, and they had no problem with that, why do they suddenly have a problem now, if it could be done the same way and just as effectively? Of course, let's not forget the horrible example Ronald Reagan set when he withdrew the army from Lebanon in 1983, and it's become largely Islamic since.

The incident aboard the flight from Dubai illustrates this principle. Thanks to the sacrifice and quick thinking of Yaniv Hayun, along with the courage of the Indian pilot and other Israeli passengers, many lives were saved and a catastrophe was averted, one that could have emboldened Islamist terrorism.

And if the pilot adheres to Hinduism, it indicates even they have a much more realist view of the need to be vigilant. So perhaps that's why Europeans who need a faith that can give them a reason to live should consider either Judaism or Hinduism? And if it's the former, it needs to be offered without demanding or even expecting the possible convert to follow what the ultra-Orthodox do. That would be a most utterly unsuitable way to handle things.

Self-haters give leftists in Europe exactly what they want at film festivals

Some survivors of October 7, 2023 are rightfully outraged at how 2 "documentarians" made a film hostile to Israel:

A confrontation broke out Thursday evening during a screening of the film NAZA in the Dutch city of Delft after the wife and mother of two Israelis murdered by Hamas during the October 7 massacre confronted the public about the film’s directors, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, and the assertions they reached during the documentary.

“Look me in the eyes," Sabine Taasa urged Abraham and Szor. "You’re talking about collateral damage? My husband and my son were murdered by Hamas. Where does this appear in your film?”

Taasa's husband, Gil, and one of her sons, Or, were murdered during the massacre. Additional children of hers were also wounded in the attack. She traveled to the screening in the Netherlands with members of Ad Kan, intending to protest the way the war is portrayed in the film and to share her family’s story with the audience.

"I came here to tell my story. My name is Sabine Tassa. I came from Israel to tell you the truth," she said.

According to footage shared by the Israeli organization Ad Kan, several audience members responded by shouting, “We don’t care,” “Shame on you,” and “We don’t want to hear.”

Dutch Party for Freedom founder and leader Geert Wilders slammed the audience members in a post to X/Twitter responding to the incident.

"The callousness is staggering," Wilders wrote. "Sabine Taasa survived the October 7 massacre. Her 17-year-old son was murdered at Zikim Beach. Her husband was killed shielding their two young sons from a grenade."

“'We don’t care.' That is their answer to her suffering."

"The truth means nothing to the Left. Its alliance with Islam is an expression of moral bankruptcy that threatens the future of the Netherlands and of our civilisation. A crowd can drown out a voice. Not the TRUTH," said Wilders.

In a later post, Wilders stated he hosted Taasa at the Dutch Parliament.

"Her 17-year-old son and her husband were killed. She is a strong and wise Israeli friend," he said. "I will always support Israel and fight Islamic terrorism. Never surrender."

Who knows if the festival in focus even ever screened documentaries about 9-11 and the Bataclan massacre with objective viewpoints? If they never have, that says more of what you need to know what's wrong with such festivals too. And the filmmakers who did a repulsive disservice to Israel should also be ashamed of themselves, and ostracized.

Britain's immigration office granted asylum to a Hamas member who plotted more terrorist attacks in Europe

Britain's shoddy approach to Islamic jihadism has turned up again, as it turns out they'd granted asylum without question to a prominent Hamas member:

A former personal bodyguard to former top Hamas warlord Ismail Haniyeh secured asylum and a British passport before attempting to launch a deadly plot to attack European Jews, an explosive new report reveals.

The suspect, identified only as “Mr X,” served in the security detail for Haniyeh. Haniyeh was the terrorist mastermind who famously cheered the demise of American forces in Afghanistan alongside the Taliban, and who celebrated the horrific Oct. 7 massacres from his plush hideout in Qatar before being eliminated by Israeli forces in Tehran.

Despite Mr X’s deep ties to terror, British authorities rolled out the red carpet for the jihadist operative, granting him sanctuary and eventual citizenship.

Now, he’s behind bars in the UK, facing extradition to Germany for allegedly helping coordinate a massive, synchronized terror campaign aimed at slaughtering Jews and targeting Israeli diplomats across Europe to mark the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 atrocity.

According to an exposé published by The Times, British officials granted Mr X refugee status in 2015 under then-Home Secretary Theresa May, despite his well-documented past as a Hamas operative.

Before landing in Britain, this was known about the suspect: He is the son of a senior Hamas official; he was photographed shielding Haniyeh while armed mobs raised machine guns in the air, and he was previously arrested by Egyptian authorities for running a cross-border smuggling tunnel used to move gold and firearms into Gaza.

May was considered a disaster in her job as premier, and this is compounding the negative image she's left behind from her time leading the UK government. It's disgusting how these pro-Islamic-terrorism acts continue to leave such a bad scar on society at large, and even if the UK government now is willing to extradite the monster they don't have the courage to name, they're still doing very bad things hurtful to Israel, and to other innocent people across the globe.

Update: here's more with commentary by Nigel Farage:

Commenting on the revelations, Mr Farage said on Sunday: “How can anyone trust the Tories again after today’s news? They gave refugee status and ILR to a known terrorist, allowing him to become a British citizen. The man had public ties to Hamas’ leadership!

“They failed to protect you. Only Reform will keep the British people safe.”

Seriously, after this, the Tories should not be considered a valid party ever again.

A new documentary about the dangers of migration from Islamic countries to the west

The Heritage Foundation developed a new documentary about how mass migration from Islamic countries has had a disastrous effect upon Europe, and the USA's also now feeling the effects:

The West is in a self-inflicted crisis, and the only way to fix it is to recognize the problem.

A new documentary created by The Heritage Foundation in collaboration with former Virginia Delegate and current Blaze TV host Nick Freitas shines a light on how decades of mass immigration have dramatically transformed the U.K. for the worse.

“The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West” gets to the heart of the skepticism of mass migration, particularly from Muslim countries that don’t share similar values. [...]

While President Donald Trump has dramatically shut down the chaos at the southern border and put tighter restrictions on legal immigration, there is still a broad movement to return to the open border, near-limitless immigration policies of his predecessors.

In both the U.K. and the U.S., Freitas noted, there are significant numbers of “mainstream” media, institutional, and political actors who insist that unfettered mass migration is “necessary, economically, socially, and even morally, and to the extent that we have of our own, we should be ashamed of it, and therefore grateful for the cultural enrichment we are now experiencing.”

The documentary highlights how British immigration policy was transformed—beginning with Prime Minister Tony Blair in the early 2000s—from “slow and steady assimilation” to “globalist multiculturalism.”

Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation, said pointedly of Blair in an interview that his legacy was “disastrous” in terms of “ushering this era of mass migration into the U.K.”

Freitas observed in the documentary that when he visits the U.K., he sees a lot of culture—but it isn’t English. Instead, entire towns and cities resemble locations in the Middle East.

The cultural and legal changes happening within the U.K. resulting from decades of industrial-scale migration are perhaps even more shocking.

As several interviewees in the documentary noted, many of the newcomers have vastly different norms when it comes to gender and behavior between men and women.

For instance, GB News host Patrick Christys said in one interview that there had been a recent court case involving three “illegal migrants” who were housed in a fancy hotel and then raped a woman on a local beach. When they were brought before a court, one of them was asked, according to Christys, if he knew the difference between rape and sex, and the man replied by saying that rape is sex.

“That is the kind of culture that sadly we are importing,” Christys said.

While the U.K. doesn’t publish crime stats by religion, there has been a significant problem of organized, industrial-scale rapes being conducted by mostly Muslim men. The country’s political establishment clearly wants to sweep this under the rug, but the human cost has been enormous.

This is happening because of the astounding and unprecedented demographic changes that the people of England have been forced to accept as the new normal.

That's the sad result of communist/socialist ideologies being normalized to boot. And France has experienced even more horrifying cases like these too over many years. Blair was definitely one of the worst enablers of the situation as we see it today, and what if it turns out he knew anything about the Rotherham rape scandal? This is what Freitas and company mean when they say the political establishment's been trying to hush up the horrors.

It may be possible to reverse this horror, and the war against Iran is an important start. But no doubt, it's going to be very difficult, especially when supporters of totalitarianism enable the Religion of Peace to gain footholds.

World cannot continue to ignore what led to 9-11-2001 and 10-7-2023

Moshe Dann discusses the tragedy of September 11, 2001 in the USA, and October 7, 2023 in Israel:

The attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 is embedded in America’s consciousness as a nation. Jews in Israel and around the world share the pain of that event as we celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year on that date this year. We, too, suffered a national disaster when Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli communities on October 7, 2023.

Both events were perpetrated by Muslim terrorists with similar ideologies; both left deep scars. Both were wake-up calls that initiated wars, changed perspectives, and engaged new strategies.

The world’s reaction to these events, however, has been strikingly different. Expressions of outrage over 9/11 and support for America’s response are contrasted by support for Hamas and Islamist terrorist organizations, while condemning Israel for defending itself.

Like the war against Al Qaeda, the war against Hamas and its supporters is not over. Although largely defeated, they remain active, dangerous and determined.

Everyone who is interested knows what happened on 9/11. Many people have written about it and have produced documentaries about it, but too few have asked what the attack means, its significance, and its connection to Islamism. Prof Efriam Karsh wrote about this in his book, "Islamic Imperialism: a history", which explains the strategy of Islamist terrorist organizations.

Connecting 9/11 to other Islamic-based suicidal attacks, such as the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, and attacks on civilians and civilian targets is essential. It’s what the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan of “Civilizational Jihad" means.

Most people know, despite conspiracy theories being spread on social media, that the attack on 9/11 was carried out by a group of mainly Saudi terrorists who were connected to Al Qaeda, a terrorist organization. These Al Qaeda terrorists were funded and assisted by the Saudi government and Muslim “charities," and by Saudis living in California and other states. Several Saudi terrorists who carried out the attack were enrolled in flight schools and training programs in the US where they were learning how to hijack and fly airplanes to use them as weapons of mass destruction.

Why were they supported by the Saudi government and Muslim donors?

Even today, Saudi Arabia can't be trusted in virtually every way, shape and form, and 911 Families, in example, are rightfully demanding answers on the issues. The subject of Islam is something that also needs to be pondered when discussing tragedies like the 2015 jihadist attacks in France at the Bataclan, and everything must be done to demand answers there too.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the issues and made a point that there can't be any "buts":

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday marked 25 years since the September 11 attacks, remembering the victims and those who risked their lives to save others and drawing a parallel between the attacks and the October 7 massacre in Israel.

“25 years ago, thousands of innocent people went to work in the World Trade Center in New York. They never came home," Netanyahu said.

“For those who know such loss, it never leaves you. America remembers them. Israel remembers them."

Netanyahu paid tribute to the emergency personnel and others who acted during the attacks.

“We remember the firefighters who ran up the stairs while everyone else was running down. We remember the police officers, the first responders, the passengers who bravely fought back on the hijacked planes, and we remember the evil that murdered them."

“On September 11th, America was hit by pure evil. On October 7th, Israel was hit by it again," the Prime Minister stated.

Netanyahu rejected calls to understand the motivations or grievances of terrorists, saying, “There is no context for burning families alive. There is no grievance that justifies murdering innocents deliberately."

“There is no ‘yes, but’ when it comes to terrorism," he added.

The Prime Minister also pointed to chants of “Death to America, death to Israel," saying that the hostility towards the two countries stems from the same source.

“They hate both of us for the same reason, because America and Israel stand for freedom, for democracy, for civilization. For life."

More precisely, because the Religion of Peace dictates it. And even Netanyahu's going to have to consider the time's come to address the challenging issues more clearly.

Update: there was a special Memorial event using drones to recreate the WTC with light beams in NYC 2 nights before:

A drone show recreated the Twin Towers in light over New York Harbor on Wednesday ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terror attack.

The show featured 2,977 drones — one for each victim killed when hijackers crashed planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and rural southwestern Pennsylvania.

It was organized by families of 9/11 victims and New York Fire Department members who responded to the attack at the World Trade Center, where 2,753 civilians, firefighters and law enforcement officers were killed.

An important form of Memorial, to be sure. But will the awful Zohran Mamdani show up at the 911 Memorial today? If he does, it'll be a humiliation.

European left-wing activist arrested for sexually harassing minor

About a week ago, this disturbing report from the Barkai district came up:

A European left-wing activist was arrested on Saturday near the Barkai neighborhood at the entrance to the settlement of Carmel in Judea and Samaria, following an incident in which he was filmed clinging to a 10-year-old Jewish boy in a manner that raised suspicion of sexual harassment. The boy's father filed a complaint with the police, and the suspect was detained at the scene until officers arrived. He was then arrested and taken in for questioning.

The incident began when three children, ages 10 to 12, made their way from the settlement of Carmel toward the Barkai neighborhood. About 50 meters (164 feet) from the neighborhood, the children encountered Palestinians and foreign left-wing activists who were in the area, and at some point, the group began to obstruct their path. During the confrontation, the suspect was filmed clinging to the 10-year-old boy, in a manner that led to suspicion of sexual harassment.

Residents of the neighborhood, who noticed what was happening and the children's distress, arrived at the scene and detained the suspect until security forces arrived. Police arrested him, and the boy's father filed a formal complaint. [...]

Following the incident, Eliram Azulay, head of the South Hebron Hills Regional Council, criticized the activity of these activists in the area. "We have been experiencing a long period of provocations from anti-Israel activists who live near the Barkai neighborhood and try every way possible to disrupt residents' daily routine," he said. He added, "This time, it's a dangerous and criminal red line that must not be met with silence. Harming children is a serious crime, and we expect the Israel Police and the justice system to enforce the full severity of the law against the attacker, without compromise."

This only confirms why said activists are siding with the Islamofascists there - because they agree with the beliefs of the Religion of Peace. The offender should be imprisoned and exiled permanently for what he committed.

The crisis in Europe now with Muslim sharia gangs

British writer Steve Tucker tells about how Muslim sharia gangs are imposing horror in Europe:

German director Uwe Boll’s new hit movie Citizen Vigilante, in which (spoiler alert!) actor Armie Hammer shoots dead an entire family of Muslim immigrants in retaliation for one of their number’s brutal rape of a native white woman somewhere in continental Europe, has been controversial for many reasons: its violence, its alleged “racism,” and its supposed potential to inspire copycat crimes.

An issue that should be causing far more controversy than the mere fictional vigilante violence depicted on-screen, however, may be the potential for real-life vigilante violence occurring off-screen, performed by Europe’s millions of imported Muslims. All over the continent in recent years, Muslims have been forming their own Citizen Vigilante-like mobs, which they claim are purely for innocent purposes of self-protection. I would suggest this is an issue of rather more valid public concern than a made-up movie in which a made-up white man shoots some made-up Muslims.

Pillars of the Community

The response to Boll’s movie from self-appointed Muslim “community leaders” has focused on calling it Islamophobic or demanding its distribution be suppressed. From some such figures in the United Kingdom, however — home to around 4 million Muslims and counting — the response has been slightly different. Rather than ban the movie, why not use it as an excellent excuse for setting up a giant nationwide Islamic army?

Read more at the article, which tells more about how in a way, the Islamofascists are setting their own "vigilante" armies, and already have. And that's something we cannot put up with anymore.

Former Haredi girl becomes fashion stylist

So here's an interview with a former resident of a Haredi clan who became a fashion designer after being expelled from school over petty issue. First:

Chumi Polak is a familiar name in Israel’s fashion industry: a busy stylist who works on productions, commercials and with artists. But many people only recently learned her name in a very different context, as the partner of musician and judge Assaf Amdursky, whom she has been dating for the past year and a half. Polak had also dressed Amdursky over the years, and when the timing was right, love followed. [...]

Amdursky is 55 and you are 36, a 19-year age gap.

“That’s true, but there’s a difference between a 20-year-old woman dating a 40-year-old man and a gap like this at our age,” she said. “I think the age difference becomes much less significant. Assaf is Peter Pan, someone who is constantly in motion. He’s a second-year film student and also plans to pursue a doctorate. He is always doing something, he takes care of himself and he looks wow.

“I’ve also been through a thing or two, and I feel very mature. I don’t think I could be with a man in his 30s. I feel Assaf is a man who knows what he wants, and I love that.”

Oh, it's okay for a 20 year old woman to date a 40 year old man. Such things are practically discussed in the Torah/Bible too, and from a modern perspective, if the lady is 18 and up, then it's perfectly legal and in good taste. Now, on the background of the fashionista herself:

Polak’s appearance, an edgy blonde with a cool haircut and hipster style, gives little hint that she came from a completely different world. She was born in Jerusalem to a Haredi family, the eldest of six children. “Chumi is short for Nechama,” she said. “My mother called me that from a young age and it stuck. It’s a name that always raises questions and I always explain it. In recent years, I’ve even started introducing myself again as Nechama. Nechama Miriam Pearl Polak.”

Her mother was born in London, “a Yiddish-speaking Haredi woman who came to Israel and married my Haredi father. I have a wonderful family and amazing parents, and I am very close to everyone. On the other hand, I was always something a little unusual in that landscape.

“I felt people didn’t understand me. I asked questions in a society where questions were not encouraged. I was stubborn, someone who stood her ground, not the kind of good, obedient girl who tries to please everyone. I was a bit wild and hyperactive. I had character.”

Polak grew up “in a very Haredi neighborhood” and studied at Bais Yaakov girls' school until ninth grade, when her family moved to Bnei Brak. “My father became close to a certain admor (Hasidic rebe), and my parents moved to live in his court,” she said.

What happened?

“One day we had a free period at the seminary, and my cousin, another friend and I ran away to the beach through a hole in the fence,” she said. “We rolled up our tights and our skirts and got our feet wet in the water.

“That evening, an older red-haired man came to my parents’ door with a letter saying someone had seen us and that I was suspended from school immediately. They demanded that we apologize and sign a code of conduct bylaw. My mother begged me to do it, but I refused. I didn’t feel I had done anything so terrible that I needed to apologize. My cousin and the other friend apologized, signed and were allowed back. I was expelled.”

In the Haredi community, she said, being expelled from one school makes it difficult to be accepted to another. “That’s how I found myself without any framework for half a year, and people more or less shut me out,” she said. “Before that, I had been very popular in class. Suddenly, no one called. Silence.” “During that half year, I had free time, I started going out and discovered the world. A little before I turned 16, I moved to Jerusalem. I had a few friends there who were older than me. I moved in with them and started waitressing. I was still religious and waitressed in long skirts. After half a year, I moved to London.”

It's a bold step. “Yes,” she said. “I did extreme, dramatic things without fear and without much thought. I’m more measured today, but that’s my nature. I’m impulsive and I’m not afraid. No one in my family left home or left religion, but I just did. I flew to London without thinking it through, with 100 pounds in my pocket.

“I had a friend there who worked at mall carts, and I have a British passport because of my mother. I sold hair and beauty products from carts inside stores like Harrods and Selfridges and made a lot of money. The pound was worth eight shekels, and sometimes I would make 1,000 pounds a day.”

Well see, when certain segments of society act so petty, that's certainly atrocious, and seriously, she was right to leave the Haredi community where she was born. Her parents shouldn't have been part of it either. It also says here that:

Have you already left religion at that stage?

“It took some time. But I remember that Shabbat in London when I was 17, when I left the house and ordered a hamburger with bacon. Both Shabbat and bacon. I woke up in the morning and said, ‘Okay, let’s see what happens,’ and nothing happened. It was cool.

“I never had an issue with Judaism. I just wanted to see everything. But faith always stayed in me, and actually the older I get, the more I return to religion. For the past five years, I’ve been eating kosher again, and I also keep Shabbat once a month. It does me good. When I visit my parents, I always dress modestly.”

Perhaps she shouldn't, although good for her she resumed kosher eating again. But that sex-negative hysteria has got to go, because it's having a ruinous effect on women's confidence and dignity, and we could seriously do without it. It's also alluded to at the end:

How would you define your style?

“I’m very eclectic, and every day I can be someone else. I love vintage and mixing designer pieces with vintage, but not anything too revealing. Even as a stylist, I don’t dress people very exposed. I don’t like it. The Bais Yaakov girl stayed in me.

“You’ll never see me in tank tops or flip-flops. It just doesn’t feel refined to me. I also work a lot with the Haredi sector. I understand the nuances and subtleties, what is allowed and what isn’t, the language, and the trends there.

“To this day, I still have amazing pleated skirts from seminary. There’s no style like that. I shortened one into a mini and gave it a Miu Miu feel, and left another as a midi. It’s wow, and it’s chic.”

Again, this is a weakness she has to overcome. It's the personality that matters, not whether the clothing is modest or revealing. I hope she'll come to understand that, and she doesn't need to do business with the Haredi segment, unless perhaps to help convince them to leave it. That could be very helpful, considering the Satmar, if any, have been one of the worst 5th columns for decades now.

USA administration cannot abandon the Iranian people who're oppressed

Jamie Fly and Katie LaRoque at Freedom House make a vital point why it's wrong for the USA administration to take any steps that would enable a sadistic dictatorship to remain in place and continue subjecting its citizens to horror stories:

In early 2026, when Iranian surgeon Alireza Golchini saw protesters with gunshot and stab wounds from the regime, he did what doctors are trained to do: he treated them. For that, Iranian authorities arrested him, charged him with “waging war against God,” and threatened him with a sentence that can carry the death penalty. His alleged crime was not violence or espionage; it was providing medical care to wounded Iranians.

His story is a reminder of a simple reality: the Islamic Republic is one of the world’s most repressive regimes. Just recently, a woman was sentenced to 74 lashes for singing in a YouTube video without a hijab, and a 17-year-old swimmer and boxer was sentenced to death for participating in a protest. The regime just executed another dissident, bringing the total number of political executions in 2026 to at least 45.

[...] For the Iranian people, however, the US-Iran deal as currently formulated is likely to deepen repression. It will strengthen the authorities that only months ago were imprisoning, executing, and killing Iranians in the streets for demanding basic freedoms and improved living conditions.

Late in 2025 and early 2026, millions of Iranians took to the streets in the most significant challenge the Islamic Republic has faced in decades. Authorities answered with a crackdown that left thousands dead and tens of thousands arrested. The regime also imposed a near-total internet shutdown that lasted for months, cutting Iranians off from one another and from a world that might otherwise have witnessed the scale of the violence. Yet reports indicate that a final agreement could bring this same regime sweeping sanctions relief, access to frozen assets, and billions of dollars in new investment. For Iranians who risked their lives demanding change, the likely outcome is not a more moderate government, but a more entrenched and repressive one.

[...] At a minimum, the United States should make any relief conditional on five things: the release of Iran’s political prisoners, an end to the executions handed down in protest cases, a binding guarantee against another nationwide internet shutdown, and the return of the Americans now imprisoned in Iran or barred from leaving—six by the assessment of the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation. Tehran should also be required to come clean about the fate of kidnapped former FBI Agent Bob Levinson and help his family recover his remains. These are among the clearest and most immediate signs of whether Iranian authorities are prepared to act in good faith.

See, these are vital reasons to topple a savage dictatorship, along with exiling monsters from what you would think civilized countries. I notice that Federalist editor John Daniel Davidson, who previously took disturbing positions that put his supposed understandings of reality under question marks, is now seemingly making valid points about the state of Europe while discussing SCOTUS' defeatist positions on birthright citizenship in the USA:

In countries like France and Britain, which have large numbers of Muslim migrants, this means multigenerational communities of non-citizens with a totally different cultural and political worldview — one that’s openly hostile to the host country. They will eventually, as they are beginning to do now, carve out their own insular polities within the nation, Balkanizing the country and destroying the possibility of republican self-government or even the possibility of national survival. An Islamified Britain will no longer be Britain, but something else.

Obviously, this can't go unopposed, but then, why did Dumberson oppose the war against Iran? Considering their Islamic tyrants were financing jihadism overseas, they could also be financing infiltration into the USA through illegal immigration, and does that sit well with Dumberson? Does it sit well with him that an innocent and defenseless woman could already have been tortured over an Orwellian Thoughtcrime? If he's not willing to approve of taking serious action against sadists in Islamofascist countries like Iran, then this current editorial of his rings totally hollow. That's why what he's saying now should be approached with caution, because it's not enough to defend just your home country, and to turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the plight of innocent foreigners in distress is offensive, morally or otherwise.

If the Trump administration continues to allow the Islamofascist dictatorship in Iran to continue governing, it's always possible that could ruin election chances in mid-term. And if that's what happens, it'll make clear that when serious action isn't put to use, no matter the turnout, you cannot be surprised if the public will ultimately be disillusioned with the notion certain movements like conservatives really support responsibility, and applying equal standards everywhere. Also note how the Daily Caller is writing reports that're potentially hostile to Israel, which seem to be lamenting that Israel's military wanted to terminate "negotiators" from Iran, and you know something's wrong. If those very "negotiators" harbor Islamofascist beliefs themselves and are loyal to the dictatorship, why are they considered valuable? There are no doubt movements in the country that can be considered far better candidates for replacing the tyrants, and refusing to consider them only worsens the situation.

Riots break out in Belfast, Ireland after Sudanese Muslim tried to behead local

Once again, infiltration of the Religion of Peace into once safe countries has resulted in violence against innocents, to which the local public has responded with outrage:

Bedlam broke out in Belfast on Tuesday evening as protests turned violent and rioters set fires to vehicles and homes in the wake of an apparent beheading attempt allegedly at the hands of a Sudanese migrant.

Horrific footage of the stabbing attack on Monday evening, in which a man was seen repeatedly stabbing another man’s neck, inflamed tensions in Northern Ireland, which had previously been the site of anti-mass migration.

On Tuesday morning, police announced that they had arrested a man in his 30s from Sudan who had been granted leave to remain status by the UK Home Office after being granted in 2023, after having travelled through Paris and Dublin, ultimately entering the UK territory through the soft open border with the Irish Republic.

According to the Belfast Telegraph, protests over the alleged attempted murder were held across the city, some of which descended into scenes of chaos and violence. Multiple vehicles, including a city bus and a police car, were set on fire by rioters.

Well, we can see now where Europe is sadly headed in the near future. More on the subject here. It's very sad as it's also horrifying what's occurred, yet local politicians vehemently refuse to convincingly address the issue and perform the mass deportations needed to curb such horrors.

Geert Wilders is right: when streets turn violent, we must reclaim them

Following riots in France that occurred after a sports match, Geert Wilders has written about the need to take back our streets for safety's sake:

Following a football match, rioters in Paris went on a rampage in the French capital, looting shops setting cars on fire, attacking, even firing at police officers. Videos and television footage showed that many rioters had an immigrant background. It is a scene Europeans have become all too familiar with – not just in France, but all over the continent.

In the past decades, Europe’s ruling elites have allowed millions of immigrants from Africa and the Islamic world to settle in our midst. Some of them hate their host country to the extent that they want to destroy it. They loot and vandalize, assault and rape, and even murder.

Leading politicians – such as Emmanuel Macron in France, Rob Jetten in my own Netherlands, Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels, and many others in their ivory towers – think that people do not notice what is going on. But they do notice, and they are deeply worried. They want the chaos to stop. They also realize the root cause of our societal break-down: Mass immigration by people who contribute absolutely nothing to our societies and reject our cultural values.

While our cities begin to resemble war zones, our governments continue their march of folly. In my country, the authorities want to force literally every municipality in the Netherlands to house a quota of asylum seekers. These fortune seekers, many of whom are young men, are being lodged in hotels, holiday resorts, former schools, former army barracks, even on cruise ships.

I have called on the Dutch people to resist – firmly, but always in a non-violent manner – the establishment of centres for asylum seekers in their neighbourhoods. I have recently begun a nation-wider resistance tour, visiting local communities where the authorities are planning new asylum centres.

The response has been overwhelming. The mainstream media do not report on the protests because the demonstrators are peaceful and law-abiding.

It is not our people who go rampaging in the streets, ravaging their neighbourhoods! We are not conquerors like the thugs in the streets of Paris; we defend our homes. We do not destroy our communities; we love them. We do not loot our neighbours; we protect them. We do not harass and attack our women; we stand up for them.

Well if Donald Trump can perform mass deportations of monsters from the USA, so can European governments, and that's something the public must dedicate itself to demanding now. Wilders is right that something must be done.

What was awful about Abraham Foxman

The former left-wing head of the shoddy ADL has passed on, and Liz Berney's telling what was wrong with his conduct, which unshockingly sold out to Islam, in example:

When I heard of former ADL (Anti-Defamation League) National Director Abe Foxman’s passing, I initially thought: this is a time to mourn. It seemed pointless and inappropriate to bring up the damage he caused to important efforts to combat Jew-hatred and Israel-hatred.

But a few days later, I received a mass email from The Focus Project (a group that ADL is a major member of) calling for “emulating” Mr. Foxman, including Foxman’s public opposition to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu addressing Congress in March 2015; and Foxman’s condemnation of President Trump’s 2024 Madison Square Garden rally. That email changed the calculus. Mourn, yes. But it is immoral to remain silent about those actions that we must not emulate going forward, when certain groups say that we must emulate them. I’ll start the below list of “what not to emulate” with the two items mentioned in The Focus Project mass email.

Foxman posted that the Trump rally used “ugly hateful words against Jews and other minorities” like those that led to “the gas chambers in Auschwitz,” and demanded condemnation of the rally’s “blatant words of hate ,racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, misogyny” [sic] But Foxman cited no actual hateful words spoken at the rally. Nor could he. The rally was pro-Israel, with Jews openly wearing kippahs and waving Israeli flags. The crowd cheered, when, for instance, rally speakers such as former Mayor Rudy Giuliani said: “I’m on the side of Israel. You’re on the side of Israel. Donald Trump’s on the side of Israel.”; Congresswoman Elise Stefanik condemned skyrocketing antisemitism on college campuses; and radio personality Sid Rosenberg said that he just got back from Israel, and that Israelis love Trump and Bibi. Condemning a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish rally as Nazi-like should not be emulated. [...]

One of my first projects when I joined ZOA’s staff in 2014 was working to stop the Met Opera’s production and AMC’s planned broadcast of the antisemitic, anti-Israel opera “Death of Klinghoffer.” The opera belittled the Jewish passengers on the hijacked Achille Lauro cruise ship as small-minded materialists; contained libels that Jews get fat from the poor, cheat, exploit, pollute virgins, defame, break laws, and are idolators; glorified the terrorists (who murdered wheelchair-bound Jewish American Leon Klinghoffer) as “men of ideals”; and promoted outrageous lies about Jewish Israelis’ treatment of Arabs in 1948. Leon Klinghoffer’s daughters publicly spoke out that the opera exploited their father’s murder and was antisemitic.

I personally called AMC and persuaded them to cancel the planned worldwide broadcast of the opera. I also worked with a group of strong pro-Israel activists to publicize the opera’s antisemitism and to arrange huge protests outside the Met against its 8 live performances of the opera. We probably could have succeeded in stopping the Met’s live performances – but then Abe Foxman got involved. Foxman announced that the opera was “not antisemitic” – which severely damaged our efforts to stop the performances that spread antisemitic blood libels. To add insult to injury, in order to try to show that he was doing something useful, Foxman claimed credit for my successful effort to stop the AMC broadcasts.

Giving “kosher stamps of approval” to blatantly antisemitic productions is obviously something that should not be emulated.

It's bad enough Foxman would give telling hints he's a self-hater. But even worse:

When Yasser Arafat – the unrepentant murderer of countless Jews and Jewish children – was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for signing the Oslo Accords (which Arafat promptly used to rapidly increase terrorism), many people were appalled. Relatives of Arafat’s victims protested along with liberal U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer; Kare Kristiansen resigned from the Nobel committee in protest; ZOA president Morton Klein called the award “repugnant and revolting,” the OU called the award “offensive”; Likud party leader Netanyahu stated that “the fact that the prize is given to the person who invented international terrorism turns the prize into a farce,” etc. By contrast, Foxman stated that although he was not a saint, Arafat “earned the prize.” Similarly, in a televised debate against Mort Klein, Foxman asserted that Arafat “deserved and earned the prize.” Defending honoring monstrous terrorists is unjustifiable and should not be emulated.

I think that says all you need to know just what a monster Foxman himself was, and it's chilling to think how many more people like him could've been pro-jihadists. And what's so wrong in his mind with being "islamophobic"? He obviously never read the koran either, or if he did, made up his mind where he stood on its content. Foxman was a most repulsive man, and whether we should mourn that he's gone, that doesn't excuse his most offensive actions, which were clearly meant to undermine the USA and Europe as much as Israel. With his passing, it's to be hoped the ADL will dissolve along with him. Such movements as his should not be supported in any way.

It's okay to defend a sane country from being corrupted

J.D. Vance sent an important message of support to the citizenry of Britain that applies also to countries like France, Italy, Spain, Denmark and even Israel:

U.S. Vice President JD Vance encouraged the British public protesting against the longstanding government policy of flooding the jobs market with mass migration to “just keep going” and remember “it’s OK” to want to live in a safe, culturally homogenous place.

The U.S. Vice President stood in for press secretary Karoline Leavitt at the White House press briefing room on Tuesday to cover her maternity leave, as reported by Breitbart News, and amid responses for a wide range of questions spoke out about the weekend’s Unite The Kingdom Rally.

The rally, convened by veteran street organiser and child rape gang critic Tommy Robinson, was called on Saturday 16th in defence of freedom of speech, civil liberties, and “our shared British identity, our history, our heritage, and the culture that connects England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland”.

Responding to a question that specifically highlighted protester’s concerns about “mass illegal migration and replacement of British culture”, Vance encouraged Britons who reject the modern paradigm of business-dominated government constantly pushing wages lower through human quantitative easing to keep fighting.

Read more. If there's something where Vance is doing the right thing, it's through messages like these, which should resonate in Israel and Europe alike too, and also Africa and Asia.

John Daniel Davidson is wrong to use Spain's 15th century expulsion of Jews as an analogy

Well, it looks like Federalist editor Davidson's crossed the line big time, and demonstrated why his news site has to be taken with a serious grain of salt. Case in point: he's taking issue with SCOTUS justice Neil Gorsuch in relation to topics like immigration, and along the way, he employs a horrific analogy with Jews as a subject:

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has done a series of interviews this week to promote his new children’s book about the Declaration of Independence and very clearly has a set of talking points, including a familiar liberal trope that’s no less false and incoherent for being familiar. America, says Gorsuch, is a “creedal nation,” essentially a set of ideas that anyone can subscribe to and become an American. What’s more, Gorsuch claims America was founded as a creedal nation — a creed that enshrines the three ideals of equality, inalienable rights, and the right of self-government.

“What unites us is not a religion, it’s not a race, it’s a belief in those three ideals,” Gorsuch told NRO in a recent podcast. To Nick Gillespie of Reason he said, “Our nation is not founded on a religion. It’s not based on a common culture even, or heritage. It’s based on those ideas. We’re a creedal nation.”

For conservative-minded Americans of a certain age, repeating this mantra that we’re a creedal nation, not a blood-and-soil nation like bad old Europe, has become something of a reflex — a defensive posture meant to deflect charges of racism and xenophobia from the left.

But it’s obviously false. One way you can tell it’s false is that no one who espouses this America-as-creed idea would ever follow through on its implications. If we were really a creedal nation, and in order to be fully American you had to believe and live by a certain civic creed derived from the Declaration and the Constitution, enshrining those three ideals Gorsuch mentions, then millions of our fellow citizens today would not be considered true Americans — to say nothing of the millions of recent immigrants who have never even heard of the ideals supposedly at the heart of our creed.

If we’re a creedal nation, such people cannot be our countrymen. If we were serious about our creed, we would denaturalize and deport them. We would expel heretics and unbelievers as readily as King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella expelled all unconverted Jews from their kingdoms in 1492. That’s what creedal nations do.

Wow. If he'd made a case why Moslems need to integrate and assimilate or leave, that would've been impressive. Instead, Dumberson - as perhaps his nickname should be - chose to fall back on classic antisemitic allegories, and fail to make any distinctions between good and bad religions, if anything. If he doesn't think the USA should be founded solely on Judaism, that's one thing. But to say it was literally justified for Spain's monarchy to expel the community that founded the religion in remote times goes way too far, and I couldn't find anything about Islam in the "op-ed" Dumberson wrote. Suggesting that perhaps he really is that kind of a coward that he can't bring himself to research and point out anything disturbing about the koran's contents, and then, he even has the gall to say:

It’s telling that those most likely to invoke this notion of a creedal nation are the least likely to support something like mass deportation and denaturalization. They will declare that we’re a creedal nation but recoil if you suggest we should act like one. That’s because they either don’t understand what they’re arguing or don’t really believe it, and instead believe America isn’t a nation at all but an economic opportunity zone where anyone from anywhere can, with enough determination and skill, strike it rich.

Alas, based on what he previously told, that's why Dumberson's argument here falls flat, because he doesn't seem to either, and let's not forget his unwillingness to support a ground raid in Iran. And if he won't take an objective view of Islam, then it's hard to buy he's a devout Christian any more than the very pope he chose to whitewash. Does Dumberson also believe Jews/Israelis only came to the USA to "strike it rich"? That sounds eerily reminiscent of socialist cliches.

Amazingly, unlike Dumberson, another Federalist writer, Chris Bray, did show the courage to bring up the issue of Islamofascism while discussing Britain's election where Nigel Farage made significant gains. But it doesn't excuse the harm Dumberson's causing with his loathsome lectures, and if their staff is smart, they'll do what they can to give him the pink slip. He's as awful as Tucker Carlson, and clearly comes from almost the same school of thought.

The LGBT/palestinian war on reality

Therapist Daniel Winston writes about the similarities between the transsexual ideology movement and the fabrication of an Arab/Islamic state called "palestine", the latter word which was coined by the Roman empire and put to use by anti-Israelists in over 50 years for delegitimazation purposes:

One of the defining absurdities of the modern West is not that human beings imagine things. Human beings have always imagined tribes, roles, myths, masks, costumes, and symbolic identities. The deeper absurdity is that entire political and moral systems are now expected to reorganize reality around subjective feeling and declaration.

If enough of the “right" kind of people assert something loudly enough, emotionally enough, and long enough, the claim is no longer treated as a claim. It becomes an identity. Then it becomes sacred. Then questioning it becomes “violence."

This is the twisted age of imagined identity.

The pattern is visible in the most radical corners of transgenderism. Human gender is not assigned by mood, costume, declaration, or bureaucratic intimidation. In ordinary human development, XX chromosomes are associated with female development and XY chromosomes with male development, with the Y chromosome and SRY region typically directing male development. Yes, differences of gender development exist. Medicine recognizes chromosomal and anatomical variations. But those conditions prove that biology is real, not that sex is an inner feeling detached from the body.

The existence of medical exceptions does not abolish the biological categories by which the exceptions are understood. This is not an attack on people who suffer from gender dysphoria. Serious people can recognize real distress without cruelty or mockery. But compassion for suffering is not the same as surrendering reality to the tyranny of personal or group fantasy.

Yet the new doctrine demands more than kindness. It demands metaphysical obedience. A man becomes a woman because he says so. A woman becomes a man because she feels so. Some now float identities so untethered from biological reality that the self becomes an act of private invention, while the rest of society is commanded to applaud.

This same civilizational pattern helps explain another modern invention: the myth of an ancient “Palestinian Arab people."

Arabs lived in the Land of Israel. Families, clans, villages, Muslims, Christians, and others lived there. That is not the issue. The issue is whether there existed, before the modern war against Zionism, a distinct ancient Palestinian Arab nation with its own sovereign history, language, kings, institutions, literature, currency, religion, or national consciousness.

There did not.

Even Arab and pro-Arab sources repeatedly said so both before and after the mythology hardened into international theology.

-In 1919, the General Syrian Congress told the King-Crane Commission that there should be “no separation" of “the southern part of Syria, known as Palestine," from Syria.

-In 1946, Lebanese-American historian Philip Hitti testified that there was “no such thing as Palestine in history."

-In 1977, senior PLO official Zuhair Mohsen told the Dutch newspaper Trouw that “the Palestinian people does not exist" and that a separate Palestinian identity was maintained “for political reasons."

-More recently, Hamas official Fathi Hammad acknowledged that many 'Palestinian' Arabs trace their origins to Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

These are not “Zionist extremists" denying Arab humanity. They are Arab and pro-Arab voices acknowledging what history shows: “Palestinian" was long a geographic and political label before it was retrofitted into an imaginary ancient nationality. The books Phantom Nation by Shai ben Tekoa and From Time Immemorial by Joan Peters document this reality exceptionally well.

Under the British Mandate, Jews were called Palestinians and Arabs most expressly were not. The Jerusalem Post was originally the Palestine Post. The Palestine Symphony Orchestra was Jewish. “Palestine" was a place-name used by foreign rulers, not the name of an ancient Arab nation. The term itself was imposed by Rome after the Bar Kokhba revolt as part of an effort to erase Judea from the map using the name of the Jews ancient enemies, the Philistines, to further the humiliation of the conquered Jews.

Read it all, and see how disgraceful it is that this warping of reality continues, right down to how LGBT practitioners are perfectly willing to ally themselves with the Religion of Peace, because for both antisemitism trumps all.
