Zohran Mamdani's rhetoric created a dangerous atmosphere for Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to UN

NYC's first Muslim mayor has created a situation that disturbs the NYPD, because of the security issues it now entails:

New York City is bracing for a security nightmare next month when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits Gotham — and cops are blaming Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The PM’s visist will now necessitate a massive, presidential-level police shield and furious NYPD sources told The Post that Mamdani’s reckless, anti-Bibi obsession emboldens radical agitators, leaving frontline cops and everyday New Yorkers squarely in the crosshairs.

“Basically, he’s making what would be considered a Category 1 hurricane that we deal with every year into a Category 5 because of his words,” a law enforcement source said.

Hizzoner is staunchly pro-Palestine and anti-Israel and called for Netanyahu’s arrest during his 2025 mayoral campaign.

He reiterated those threats last month before acknowledging the NYPD doesn’t have the authority to do so.

Mamdani then urged his radical base to “take to the streets” during Netanyahu’s visit, saying “one of the bedrocks of our city is protest.”

That has enraged many police officers who already have their work cut out for them, the law enforcement source said.

“We have to protect hotels, we have to protect wherever [dignitaries] go out to eat, we have to protect everything,” the law enforcement source said. “Having the mayor say, ‘Go ahead and protest, and he should be arrested’ . . . is unfair to your own cops.”

Netanyahu is expected to arrive in the city next month for the United Nations General Assembly and is scheduled to address the body on Sept. 26.

Netanyahu’s full schedule isn’t yet known so the final number of police officers needed for his detail is up in the air, but it could grow to 60 or more with “direct and peripheral” officers, police sources said.

Most dignitaries get a protective detail of one sergeant and eight detectives. Security at the event also includes federal and state agents, usually supplemented by the foreign nation’s own agents.

“What’s going to stop one of the protesters from becoming a vigilante and trying to hurt or God forbid kill him?” the source said.

Cops are also worried that protesters who think they’re acting on the mayor’s behalf “could cause an officer to get hurt or even killed,” the source said.

Mamdani's already caused so much embarrassment for NYC, and the worst part is whomever voted him into office, effectively proving they're okay with one day imposing sharia upon the Big Apple. Now, there's also a situation where danger's been increased for politicians, and for all we know, it could have horrific consequences.

Mamdani begrudgingly recognizes he has no legal authority to arrest Netanyahu while visiting NYC

NYC's first Muslim mayor may have admitted he cannot arrest Netanyahu on trumped up accusations issues by the ICC, but Mamdani still sticks by his anti-Israeli positions in the worst ways:

Leading Jewish groups castigate New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for inflammatory claims he made yesterday in a video announcing that he could not arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Before stating that the city could not make the arrest, Mamdani said Israel was targeting “neonatal care centers,” starving “countless people,” “gunning down hundreds of aid workers and journalists,” and that Americans were paying “for the bombs that do the killing.”

The claims are largely exaggerated or based on scanty or questionable evidence.

The UJA-Federation of New York, the leading Jewish group in the city, says, “New Yorkers elected a mayor to lead this city — not to make Israel the centerpiece of your political grandstanding.”

“Your video is rife with distortions and disinformation. At a time of rising antisemitism, repeatedly singling out and vilifying the world’s only Jewish state for perceived political benefit is repugnant, puts Jews at greater risk — and leaves many Jewish New Yorkers feeling targeted and unwelcome in the city we call home,” the federation says in a statement. “Shame on you.”

It's really no shock, of course, that Mamdani would do this. He should not be welcome at the upcoming 911 Memorial service either, because it's pretty obvious he also doesn't respect any of the victims and survivors there. A most repellent man indeed.

Ukraine's president makes a horrific PR mistake by visiting Syria's autocrat

While Russia's war against Ukraine is abominable, so too is Syria's conduct under Ahmed al-Sharaa, and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky made a serious mistake by paying the Islamofascist a visit:

President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Damascus, Syria, on Sunday, receiving a warm welcome from President Ahmed al-Sharaa and reportedly discussing cooperation on food and security exchanges.

Zelensky and Sharaa met once before, in New York, while both were attending the United Nations General Assembly in September. Both their countries have experienced significant aggression by both Iran and Russia – Ukraine is facing an ongoing Iran-backed Russian invasion, while Syria endured over a decade of civil war in which both Iran and Russia supported deposed dictator Bashar Assad. On the groundwork of these shared experiences, Sharaa and Zelensky appear to be pursuing closer collaboration.

This is an utter embarrassment, and truly disgusting. As though it weren't bad enough the Trump administration had to be lenient on al-Sharaa, now Zelensky's getting chummy with the monster, and at the UN, no less. This does not help Ukraine's situation at all.

UN could be on verge of bankruptcy

It looks like the awful UN is short on cash:

The United Nations is going broke and needs member nations to stump up cash. Lots of it. That is the plea from Secretary-General António Guterres who fears the globalist body is at risk of “imminent financial collapse” due to member states not paying their fees.

The former leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party said Friday the U.N. faces a financial crisis which was “deepening, threatening programme delivery” and money could run out as soon as July leaving the unaccountable globalist cabal destitute.

Such is the financial drama unfolding at U.N. headquarters in Geneva, signs warning of the situation have reportedly been put up everywhere. In an almost desperate attempt to save cash, the escalators are regularly turned off and the heating turned down, the BBC reports.

Guterres sent a missive to all 193 member states outlining his fears and pleading they had to honor their mandatory payments or overhaul the organisation’s financial rules to avoid collapse.

It comes after the U.N.’s largest contributor, the U.S., refused to contribute to its regular and peacekeeping budgets and withdrew from several agencies it called a “waste of taxpayer dollars.”

Let's hope this'll eventually spell the UN's closure, because they were practically ill-conceived from the start, and the USA should not have to pay any tax dollars to finance it. Interesting that Guterres is a socialist, because that ideology's caused only so much damage, just like Islam has, and the UN's undoubtably been serving as an indoctrination arm for promoting socialism as well. One more reason we don't need the UN continuing to cause trouble the world over anymore.

Zohran Mamdani obscured what led to murder of National Guardswoman

NYC's first Muslim mayor Mamdani, unsurprisingly, would not be clear about how the Religion of Peace played a part in the murder of a National Guardswoman by an illegal immigrant from Afghanistan in the District of Columbia:

New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is facing a torrent of condemnation over his public statement addressing the murder of West Virginia National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, who succumbed to her injuries after being shot, allegedly by Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national admitted under President Joe Biden’s ‘Operation Allies Welcome’ program.

In a post on X, Mamdani wrote, “I’m devastated to learn of the passing of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, a member of the West Virginia National Guard. She was only twenty years old. As families across the nation come together today to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us take a moment to think of those in West Virginia who have been plunged into unimaginable grief.”

Nowhere in the statement did Mamdani mention that Beckstrom was shot, allegedly by an Afghan migrant who was accused of shouting “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire on her and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe near the White House. Beckstrom died Thursday evening from injuries sustained in the attack. The suspect, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is in the hospital under heavy guard and may face the death penalty, according to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. [...]

Despite the severity of the attack, the United Nations issued a post on social media hours later reaffirming that seeking asylum is a “human right,” without acknowledging the victims or the shooting in D.C. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board urged against “collective punishment,” cautioning that Afghan refugees “shouldn’t be blamed for the violent act of one man,” even as they acknowledged the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal may have undermined proper vetting procedures.

These latest remarks aren’t the first time Mamdani has drawn widespread rebuke for his statements. On October 7, 2025 — the second anniversary of the Hamas massacre of over 1,100 Israelis — Mamdani issued a statement that accused Israel of launching a “genocidal war.” His post condemned the United States for its alliance with Israel and labeled the Jewish state’s military response “war crimes.” Elected officials, Israeli diplomats, Jewish religious leaders, and conservative media figures called his remarks antisemitic and accused him of serving as a “mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda.”

And the WSJ has clearly proven they've lost all common sense to boot. This is disgusting, also because the UN is erasing the victims no matter what they say, and Mamdani is once again proving the bad omen he'll doubtless be when he assumes office of mayor. He owes the woman's family a huge apology, and tragically, it's unlikely he ever will say he's sorry.

UN delegate who committed rape denial served with lawsuit

Francesca Albanese, the UN delegate who denied the sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, has been given a lawsuit in South Africa:

At the conclusion of another speech attacking Israel, Francesca Albanese - the UN Special Rapporteur on the so-called "Occupied Palestinian Territories" - was confronted with legal documents enabling a lawsuit against her, following her denial of the sexual terror attacks carried out by Hamas terrorists on October 7.

The incident, which caused significant embarrassment for Albanese, was discussed in an interview with Attorney Hillel Neuer, Director of UN Watch, who has compiled extensive evidence regarding her conduct.

"She is a very dangerous woman - not only to Israel but to the world," said Neuer. "Her UN mandate, established in 1993, is to investigate only Israel’s alleged violations. When Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or the Palestinian Authority commit atrocities, they are ignored - only Israel is targeted."

Neuer explained that Albanese was appointed in 2022 precisely because of her record of anti-Israel activism. "She’s not a lawyer but a jurist. She worked for two years at UNRWA - an agency taken over by Hamas in Gaza - where she engaged in anti-Israel propaganda. Later, she wrote several books attacking Israel. In 2014 she posted that the US government is controlled by the ‘Jewish lobby,’ a blatantly antisemitic statement reminiscent of the 1930s."

According to Neuer, UN Watch exposed videos of Albanese accusing Israel of genocide even before her appointment. "The UN knew exactly what it was getting - and she continues to accuse Israel of genocide and fabricated crimes," he said.

"Someone in her position should act as a serious academic investigator, following an ethical code. Instead, every Hamas falsehood is spread by her on social media as if it were an official UN statement. On October 7, her first response on Twitter was that Hamas’ actions shouldn’t be condemned, claiming they were a ‘reaction’ to Israeli oppression."

"Since then, she has denied the rapes and other atrocities committed by Hamas. In effect, she serves as Hamas’s spokesperson at the UN," said Neuer. He noted that Albanese continues to lecture at leading US universities, invited by their administrations. Her conduct has drawn condemnation from Germany, Canada, and France, though, as Neuer put it, "In today’s climate it’s difficult to stop the flood of antisemitism, often disguised as anti-Zionism."

Neuer revealed that Albanese was due to present a special report to the UN but is barred from entering the United States following a UN Watch campaign urging sanctions. Senator Marco Rubio announced measures including a travel ban, financial restrictions, and credit limitations.

The latest incident occurred in South Africa, where Albanese addressed a Nelson Mandela Foundation conference. Two months earlier, the group Christians and Jews United for Israel filed a lawsuit against her in a federal court in Colorado, after she published a report accusing Israel of genocide and listing companies tied to Israel as accomplices. The group claimed the report defamed them by portraying them as war criminals.

Neuer said that Albanese’s legal immunity expired at the end of her initial three-year term. “UN rules allow an automatic extension unless complaints are filed. In her case, we submitted several, including one from Israel’s ambassador in Geneva and objections from Argentina, the US, and the Netherlands.”

He added that the UN official handling the issue referred the complaints to a sympathetic internal committee. “The Colorado court has not yet heard the case but has already ruled that Albanese no longer enjoys immunity - which allowed the lawsuit to proceed.”

“At the South Africa conference,” Neuer recounted, “as she stepped off the stage, a local legal representative tried to hand her the lawsuit papers, as required under US law. Her bodyguards tried to block it, and it remains unclear whether the documents reached her. Still, South African media reported the story prominently, calling it ‘a major embarrassment’ for the guest speaker at the Nelson Mandela conference.”

It remains to be seen whether Francesca Albanese has officially received the court documents, or if the plaintiffs will need another opportunity to serve them personally.

As reported here, a Christian movement is among the plaintiffs, since Albanese attacked them for their support for Israel:

As Breitbart News has reported, the groups, Christian Friends of Israeli Communities and Christians for Israel USA, are suing Albanese for defamation for accusing them of complicity in so-called “genocide.”

Albanese is a radically pro-Palestinian and antisemitic UN official who is subject to U.S. sanctions. The Nelson Mandela Foundation came in for criticism for hosting an official whose mission is in conflict to Mandela’s message of reconciliation.

Nevertheless, the Foundation’s event drew a large audience, which was celebrated as a triumph — until lawyers for the American Christian groups showed up with papers ordering her to defend a U.S. civil suit.

The South African government had, in fact, given permission for the American lawyers to serve Albanese with court papers, though it later apologized and said that the permission had been granted in error.

It's actually miraculous they made it possible to serve the papers, considering the downhill trajectory the country's taken under their presidential incumbent Cyril Ramaphosa. Hopefully, this'll damage Albanese's undeserved career, and hopefully, she'll have to pay compensation to the plaintiffs.

2 people murdered by jihadist in Manchester on Yom Kippur

Kier Starmer's appeasement of the PLO/Hamas by declaring he recognizes a "palestinian state" at the UN has led to tragic results in Britain:

At least two victims have died and four were seriously injured after a car and knife terror attack outside a synagogue in Manchester in the United Kingdom on Thursday, authorities said.

The deadly incident came on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar which ends later today, as people gathered at an Orthodox synagogue. The Metropolitan Police in London declared the assault a terrorist attack.

The two deceased victims were members of the Jewish community, police said. The other four victims were hospitalized with a variety of serious injuries. Paramedics arrived at the scene and were seen treating the victims.

In a series of posts on X, Greater Manchester Police said officers were called to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue at about 9:30 a.m. after a vehicle was driven into pedestrians and at least one person was stabbed. Armed police declared a major incident and opened fire minutes later, killing the suspect.

Police said the suspect had the appearance of an explosive device on his body and the bomb disposal unit was called to the scene in suburban Manchester.

Video on social media showed police with guns pointed at a person lying on the tarmac beneath a blue Star of David on the brick building.

A bystander could be heard on the video saying the man had a bomb and was trying to push a button. When the man tried to stand up, a gunshot rang out and he fell to the ground, flopped on his back and then rolled onto his side.

"In response to today’s major incident in Crumpsall, a loud noise was heard at the scene as specialist resources gained entry to the suspect’s vehicle as a precaution," Greater Manchester Police said.

A large number of people were worshiping at the synagogue at the time of the incident and police said that security staff and worshipers inside acted quickly to stop the terror suspect from gaining entry to the building. They were held inside while the immediate area was made safe but have since been evacuated, police said.

One of the reasons the jihadist was able to do this is because even security guards in the UK are unable to carry firearms, a sad result of the UK's draconian policy banning gun ownership. It's been reported this was a terrorist attack, but that doesn't excuse the PR fiasco Starmer's now led to. There's no point in his telling on social media he condemns the attack if he's going to lead appeasement policies, and the same can be said for France and Canada's leaders.

Update: the monster has been identified:

Police on Thursday identified the suspect in the deadly Yom Kippur attack at a synagogue in Manchester, England, as Jihad al-Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent.

Two people were killed when Al-Shamie rammed his car into worshippers outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation on Middleton Road before exiting the vehicle and stabbing others on Yom Kippur, Judaism’s holiest day.

British authorities early on Friday identified the fatalities as Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66.

Condolences to the families of the victims.

Rewarding October 7, 2023 will only lead to more similar attacks worldwide

Daniel Greenfield makes a vital point why continued appeasement of jihadism is only leading to more disasters around the globe:

The hijacking by a Marxist-Islamist group backed by the USSR and trained by its proxies in Egypt and Syria, spurred a new wave of Cuba hijackings by leftist sympathizers in the U.S, who had been briefly active earlier in the decade but whose attacks had fallen off, by the PFLP, by the North Koreans, the Japanese Red Army, Pakistanis and other members of the Red-Green Alliance. What had been the behavior of the occasional madman became a wave of terrorism.

The copycat leftist terrorists include a Black Panther who hijacked a TWA flight out of Oakland after murdering a police lieutenant and was able to live out the rest of his life in Cuba.

When PFLP terrorists were arrested, their allies attacked other airplanes, took more hostages and traded them for the hijackers. Governments that had formerly condemned the attacks, negotiated, made deals and paid out millions, freeing and financing the terrorists attacking them.

When Israel struck back at the states harboring the hijackers, it was condemned by the UN in resolutions like Resolution 262 while the State Department warned Israel that “we simply cannot have this kind of violence in the Near East.” Not by the terrorists hijacking Americans. By Israel.

On September 9, 1970, the PFLP hijacked four planes headed for New York City in the largest airplane hijacking campaign of the time that would prefigure and inspire September 11.

Four years later, PLO terror boss Yasser Arafat was invited to address the United Nations.

9/11 in turn inspired its own wave of imitators, with the 7/7 attacks in the UK, and other bombings across Europe, but despite fears at the time, major attacks failed to materialize. Why?

Large scale plots like 9/11 were difficult, expensive and all too prone to failure. And they offered little reward because the mass murder of 3,000 people did not provide any gains for the terrorists. Al Qaeda temporarily lost its base in Afghanistan (until the recent withdrawal) and the Jihadist movement became fractured into rival factions like ISIS focused on more local terror.

Had we responded to 9/11 by allowing Al Qaeda to take over Saudi Arabia, there would have been far more major terror attacks afterward. But instead we pounded the terror group and it picked up little to no sympathy outside the Muslim world. As a strategy, 9/11 had failed.

The same cannot be said of Oct 7.

“The powerful blow that was delivered to Israel on October 7 has yielded three very important historic achievements. First of all, it brought the Palestinian cause back. Why are all these countries recognizing Palestine now? Had any country dared to recognize the state of Palestine, prior to October 7?” Hamas leader Ghazi Hammad bragged in August.

After the latest push to recognize the terrorist state at the UN, Hamad again took credit. ”what is the benefit of October 7th? If you look at the UN General Assembly yesterday… they condemned Israel.”

What comes next?

As is warned, it's entirely possible that yet another severe terrorist attack could occur in Europe, all because of politicians who don't give a damn about the catastrophe they're leading to. And this time, unlike before, it could be absolutely horrifying.

Update: in related news, Dearborn's Muslim enclave held a memorial for a Hezbollah terrorist:

A Dearborn, Michigan, Islamic institute hosted a memorial marking one year since Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah’s death, praising the U.S.-designated terror leader’s “bravery,” featuring tributes to Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and telling attendees the Iranian ruler is “our leader.”

Held this past Friday at the Hadi Youth Community Center, the event marked the one-year anniversary of what organizers called Nasrallah’s “martyrdom” and drew attendees, including parents with young children. Hezbollah is designated by the U.S. State Department as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Usama Abdulghani, described by the group as the Hadi Institute’s “spiritual leader” and linked to the affiliated K-5 Hadi Montessori School, addressed the audience beside a framed portrait of Nasrallah during a livestreamed program. “This is an occasion that many of us probably never thought we would live to see,” he said, repeatedly using the honorific “Seyyed.” “We never imagined that our Seyyed would be martyred in our lifetime, and that one year would have passed since his martyrdom.”

[...] In April, a viral video from Dearborn, home to a large Muslim population, captured protesters chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” during an International Al-Quds Day rally, drawing national attention and prompting renewed scrutiny of such events in the United States.

This is the disaster that's growing on the USA's soil. What can be done to make it stop?

Trump does not do a favor by opposing Israeli resumption of sovereignty in Gaza

Donald Trump's recent kowtowing to demands of Muslim states has the Yesha Council concerned:

Israel’s Yesha Council is “deeply concerned” by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s failure to set a deadline for extending Israeli sovereignty to the region during a meeting with a council delegation in New York on Sunday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Judea and Samaria leaders on Sunday that he would tell U.S. President Donald Trump the region is inseparable from the Jewish state, according to the umbrella group of Judea and Samaria communities. However, he would not commit to a timeline. [...]

On Saturday evening, the council announced that an “unprecedentedly large emergency delegation” consisting of the organization’s leadership, as well as Judea and Samaria mayors and council heads, had departed for New York following Trump’s remarks against Israeli sovereignty.

Speaking to journalists in the Oval Office on Sept. 25, Trump said that he had ordered Netanyahu ahead of their Monday meeting not to “annex the West Bank” and that he would “not allow” the move to take place.

“There’s been enough,” Trump told reporters. “It’s time to stop now.”

What's objectionable about the above is that it implies Israel is a "thief", which is exactly what's led to only so much antisemitic persecution, and will continue to do so if not opposed. This is unacceptable. Similarly, if Trump's proposing that foreign Islamic governments take control of Gaza, that too could lead to renewed terrorist infrastructure in the future, and that's also unacceptable.

Netanyahu told the U.N. General Assembly on Friday that his opposition against a Palestinian state “is not simply my policy or my government’s policy; it is the policy of the state and people of the State of Israel.”

“Giving the Palestinians a state one mile from Jerusalem after Oct. 7th is like giving Al-Qaeda a state one mile from New York City after Sept. 11th,” he said. “This is sheer madness. It’s insane, and we won’t do it.”

Nearly 70% of Israelis want Jerusalem to extend full legal sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, according to a poll conducted on Jan. 29.

Trump and company would do well to take note and acknowledge the above. It's bad enough they've legitimized Ahmed al-Sharaa in Syria. Any impositions upon Israel are also unacceptable.

Update: in related news, a Secret Service car caught fire in the District of Columbia today, and Catherine Salgado says:

Hopefully, the car burning is the only disaster of today, and Israel is not saddled with a horrible deal in which George Soros-tied globalist Tony Blair is the transitional ruler of Gaza before handing it back over to the terror-funding Palestinian Authority (PA). Reports of such a deal raised concerns due to Blair’s ties and the PA’s pay-for-slay program to incentivize and reward terrorism, not to mention the PA was formed for the express purpose of taking over Israeli land by Yasser Arafat, the inventor of the Palestinian people and father of modern terrorism.

These are very serious points being made, and Blair would be bad news too.

What Netanyahu said to the UN

Here's what Israel's premier had to say at the UN about the capitulations of several nations to Islamic propaganda:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly on Friday that Israel would continue fighting terror — even if the leaders of western nations caved under pressure from extremists.

Netanyahu approached the rostrum wearing a large pin with a QR code that linked to a presentation about the terror attack of October 7, 2023. Outside, since the night before, Israel had placed large billboard ads in Times Square urging the world not to forget October 7.

Before he could begin, several nations — mostly Muslim nations — walked out of the hall, as Israel and its allies gave Netanyahu a sustained standing ovation.

Netanyahu began by recounting Israel’s success against Iran and its proxies since the last United Nations General Assembly opening a year ago, when he ordered the pager attacks against Hizbullah operatives in Lebanon before taking the state in New York. He noted that Israel had fought Iran’s proxies throughout the Middle East and triumphed over Iran itself in the 12 Day War, taking out much of its nuclear infrastructure.

“Israel rebounded from its darkest day to deliver one of the most stunning military comebacks in history,” he said. But he added that Israel had more to do.

He addressed the hostages directly, in Hebrew and then in English, noting that Israel had placed loudspeakers near the Gaza border to carry his address, in the hope that they would hear him. “We have not forgotten you, not even for a second,” he said. [...]

Netanyahu later turned to the nations that had opposed Israel’s war against Hamas, particularly by accusing Israel falsely of “genocide,” or by choosing to recognize a Palestinian state with Hamas still holding hostages.

“When the going got tough,” he said, “you caved.” He said that even though Israel was defending western civilization against terror, often against terrorists who had murdered and kidnapped the citizens of other nations in the hall, many of those same nations had succumbed to Hamas propaganda against Israel. [...]

He said the false accusations against Israel reprised antisemitic blood libels of the medieval era.

“Thankfully, the government of President Donald Trump is fighting antisemitism. And every government here should follow its lead.”

He said that those leaders who had chosen to recognize a Palestinian state sent the message that “murdering Jews pays off.” He said that the result would be the spread of terrorism beyond Israel, and Jews, to everyone.

He added that “Christians don’t fare much better” under Palestinian rule, noting the dwindling of the Christian population of Bethlehem under the Palestinian Authority.

“Israel will not allow you to shove a terror state down our throats … because you don’t have the guts to face down a hostile media and antisemitic mobs demanding Israel’s blood,” he said.

He said that his view opposing a Palestinian state was not a “fringe” view, but the view of over 90% of Israelis.

He guaranteed that Israel would not buckle under pressure, as western leaders had.

If there was one problem with what he had to say, it's if he's willing to negotiate a peace agreement with Ahmed al-Sharaa in Syria. Considering what a monster al-Sharaa's proven to be, that's not a good example. Other than that, the rest of this speech from Netanyahu does have plenty of values.

Trump makes vital point at UN

In his address to the insufferable UN, president Donald Trump made the following clear:

US President Donald Trump warned against unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state during his address to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, saying it would amount to rewarding Hamas for its atrocities while hostages remain in captivity. “This would be a reward for these horrible atrocities, including October 7th, even while they refuse to release the hostages or accept a ceasefire,” Trump said.

The President stressed the urgency of halting the conflict in Gaza. “We have got to come together, and we will come together. We have to stop the war in Gaza immediately. We have to get it done. We have to negotiate peace,” he declared.

Trump sharply criticized Hamas for rejecting ceasefire proposals and for continuing to hold hostages. “Instead of giving in to Hamas ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with one message: release the hostages now,” he said, emphasizing that the remaining captives must be returned together and without delay. He also mentioned the bodies of 38 victims, saying their families deserve their return “very quickly and very badly, as though they were alive.”

He's right that those countries who said they'd recognize a "palestinian state" without any historical proof that a Muslim/Arab state of that sort ever existed have done a horrible thing that only continues to embolden Israel's enemies. Senator John Fetterman also made this point:

Hamas views the move by Western nations to recognize a Palestinian state as a "reward," Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., told Newsmax Tuesday.

France recognized Palestinian statehood on Monday at the start of a high-profile meeting at the United Nations aimed at galvanizing support for a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict. Andorra, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, and Monaco also announced or confirmed their recognition of a Palestinian state — a day after the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Portugal did.

"Yes, it's a reward, but it also creates a narrative. And I even hear what Hamas is saying, like, This is part of the sacrifice, and now it's all made it all worth it," Fetterman said during an appearance on "The Record With Greta Van Susteren.”

The Pennsylvania senator is unique among his Democrat colleagues in that he supports Israel's actions.

"I support what they continue to do because I don't understand why in the world these countries now are looking to recognize Palestine. Why aren't they demanding — before we do anything — to release all those hostages?" he added.

All this is why sanctions have been imposed upon the PLO along with Hamas in the USA, and even in Israel, there's considerations to that effect. The European governments appeasing the Hamas are a disgrace to history, and have only made things worse for their own countries since it doesn't change what the Islamic Koran commands doing to infidels.

UN secretary general talks big, but does little to nothing

The awful UN's secretary general supposedly condemned the Taliban's oppressive treatment of women, which they ostensibly expressed outrage about:

The Taliban junta in Afghanistan on Thursday condemned U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for denouncing its brutal treatment of women, claiming Guterres lacks the required credentials in Islamic sharia law to comment on the Taliban’s conduct.

Guterres was holding a press conference in New York City on Tuesday when Afghan International journalist Maryam Rahmati asked him to comment about “Afghan women and girls, who remain erased from public life under the Taliban.”

“What concrete steps will the UN take to hold the Taliban accountable for systemic gender apartheid?” she asked.

Rahmati was not engaging in hyperbole – the Taliban literally banned women from public speaking in August 2024, along with a raft of other oppressive restrictions on the behavior of women.

Before that, in December 2022, the Taliban banned women from working for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as humanitarian aid groups.

The U.N. World Health Organization (W.H.O.) pleaded with the Taliban to lift this ban for female relief workers after a devastating earthquake struck Afghanistan in early September, especially after women were left buried under earthquake rubble because male rescue workers were not allowed to touch them. The Taliban refused to lift the ban.

“Well, what’s happening in Afghanistan is absolutely intolerable. And it’s not only intolerable, it’s also stupid,” Guterres replied to Rahmati on Tuesday.

Guterres said refusing to allow women and girls in humanitarian aid efforts was “terribly detrimental to the whole population of Afghanistan.”

Unfortunately, based on where the UN's been going on the subject of Islamofascists in Gaza, Guterres' protests are unconvincing. He obviously won't support military action to bring down the Taliban again, nor any steps to make sure the terrorist organization is obliterated, and such offensive hand-wringing continues to make women living under sharia in Afghanistan pay a heavy price. If Afghanistan remains permitted to be a member of the UN, that's another problem that says virtually all one need know.

Britain, Canada and Australia cater to jihadism

It's no shock at this point, but the far-left governments of 3 countries have now decided they want to recognize a "palestinian state" for the sake of virtue-signaling, and rewarding Islamic terrorism in the process:

The United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia announced on Sunday they now recognize Palestine as a state, despite accusations that it would be rewarding the Islamist Hamas terrorists behind the October 7th terror attacks on Israel.

One day before the beginning of the Rosh Hashanah Jewish New Year celebrations, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced that the UK would recognize Palestine statehood. The move pre-empted plans from France to back the measure this week at the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.

Starmer’s telegraphed announcement was preempted by fellow G7 nation Australia and Canada, both of which announced Sunday they would also recognize the territory as a state shortly before Starmer’s statement.

This is also an attack on the USA, since, back in 2001, Gazans celebrated the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9-11, and now these European corruptocrats are desecrating the memory of thousands of American victims too.

For its part, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said in response: “Recognition is nothing but a reward for jihadist Hamas – emboldened by its Muslim Brotherhood affiliated in the UK.

“Hamas leaders themselves openly admit: this recognition is a direct outcome, the ‘fruit’ for the October 7 massacre. Don’t let Jihadist ideology dictate your policy.”

Palestine lacks the fundamental aspects of statehood, such as clearly defined borders or a firm constitution and has not held meaningful elections in nearly two decades. Meanwhile, it continues to be a major sponsor of terrorism against its neighbour and top trading partner, Israel.

The move to recognise Palestine as a state will put Canberra, Ottawa, and London at odds with both Israel and the United States, with the Trump administration stressing its opposition to Palestinian statehood as it would be “rewarding Hamas” for the October 7th terror attacks on Israel.

During a joint press conference with Prime Minister Starmer amid his state visit to the UK this week, President Trump said that he has a “disagreement with the Prime Minister on that score, one of our few disagreements actually.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also previously accused the UK and others of rewarding terrorism by setting out plans to recognize Palestine as a state.

This sadly isn't really new, and the UK is where all the palestine propaganda first mainly began.

Update: Netanyahu's responded as follows:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded on Sunday to the declaration by the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada officially recognizing a Palestinian state.

"I have a clear message for those leaders who recognize a Palestinian state after the terrible October 7th Massacre: you are giving a huge reward for terror. I have another message for you: It won't happen. A Palestinian state will not be created west of the Jordan.

"For years, I have prevented the establishment of this terror state against tremendous pressure from home and abroad. We have done this with determination and with astute statesmanship. Moreover, we have doubled the Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, and we will continue on this path. The answer to the recent attempt to force on us a terror state in the heart of our land will be given after my return from the US. Just wait," Netanyahu stated.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar commented on the move, noting, "Most countries have already recognized a 'Palestinian state' in the past. That was wrong even back then. But those same governments that have now decided to join in the recognition are also committing an especially immoral, outrageous, and ugly act. The governments that decided to do so after October 7, and while Israel is still engaged in a difficult military campaign against Hamas and its partners, will be remembered with eternal disgrace.

According to Sa'ar, "This is a reward for Hamas and a reward for terrorism. It is also an unjustified reward for the Palestinian Authority. Just recently, the United States announced steps against the PA and its leaders, among other things, due to its continued policy of rewarding terrorists with salary payments."

"I am encouraged by the responses of the opposition in the 'recognition countries,' which oppose their governments' moves in a clear and unequivocal manner and see them as a misguided and distorted move. Even in these countries, we still have many friends.

He pledged that "a Palestinian state will not arise—and it will not arise—is the opposition of the people of Israel. The people oppose this delusional idea by an overwhelming, unprecedented majority. Our future will not be determined in London or Paris. It will be determined in Jerusalem. We will continue to fight resolutely on the diplomatic front against moves that endanger Israel and its future. By our side will stand our friends in the world, and at their head—the United States of America. And Israel will win! Israel does not lie!"

There have been polls in Europe indicating the public there actually disapproves of this. Even so, these moves are already going to cause chaos in Europe 50 years ago.

Update 2: lawyer Alan Dershowitz also commented on the subject.

State Department wisely bans PLO leaders from entering the USA

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has suitably banned the PLO's dictator from entering the USA to attend the UN, all for the sake of "statehood" people like Abbas don't deserve:

The Trump administration is barring Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas and other PA officials from entering the United States ahead of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, where several countries are preparing to recognize a Palestinian state.

According to documents obtained by The Daily Wire, the State Department will suspend visas for all members of the delegation for at least 180 days and revoke visas issued prior to July 31 due to violations of U.S. law and national security interests.

The move comes as Australia, Canada, France, and Malta plan to recognize Palestinian statehood during the UNGA, where Arab media report that Abbas planned to issue a constitutional declaration outlining the state’s borders and foundations.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau approved the move after determining the PA and PLO were in violation of U.S. law, according to the documents, by “unilaterally declaring Palestinian statehood; glorifying violence; promoting antisemitism; and providing material support to terrorists” through its “pay for slay” program.

They're doing the right thing, though there's said to be some minor PLO officials who'll still be able to enter. All PLO operatives should be shut out, and not allowed to enter the USA ever again.

Senior UN officials funded the Taliban

A new report reveals leading officials at the corrupt UN were collaborating with the Taliban:

Senior United Nations (UN) officials helped the Taliban extract kickbacks from UN contractors bankrolled by U.S. tax dollars, a new report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) alleged Wednesday.

UN officials allegedly worked with the Taliban to bribe and extort UN contractors supplying aid to Afghanistan in exchange for lucrative, often billion-dollar aid contracts, numerous anonymous sources told SIGAR in interviews. Of the $10.72 billion in total aid given to Afghanistan between 2021 and the State Department cancelling most of the funds in 2025, $3.83 billion came from the U.S.

It sounds like it could even have connections with the oil-for-food scandal of 2 decades ago. Once again, the UN's been exposed as the atrocious movement they truly are, and they wasted tons of tax money on the Taliban, as if things couldn't get bad enough.

USA imposes sanctions on PLO members

The USA government's finally taken proper steps in dealing with the PLO, imposing much needed sanctions on the demonic entity that was just as responsible for murders of non-Jewish victims as victims who were of Jewish background (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):

The United States will impose sanctions on several members of the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, the State Department said on Thursday.

The State Department announced it had reported to Congress that neither the PLO nor the PA complied with their commitments under the PLO Commitments Compliance Act of 1989 and the Middle East Peace Commitments Act of 2002.

The offenses listed included “taking actions to internationalize its conflict with Israel” through the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice, as well as supporting and glorifying violence, particularly in textbooks, and the pay-to-slay program.

The move prevents those targeted from receiving visas to travel to the United States, the statement said. “It is in our national security interests to impose consequences and hold the PLO and PA accountable for not complying with their commitments and undermining the prospects for peace.”

The State Department did not confirm which individuals would be sanctioned.

This comes after the USA government set sanctions on Iran-linked sources, along with the UN delegate Francesca Albanese, and it's about time. For a long time, the PLO was given diplomatic immunity they didn't deserve, and this can be a vital step in shutting them down altogether, as they should be.

Update: here's more commentary from Hugh Fitzgerald on the subject.

Keir Starmer's hostility to Israel comes to the fore

Britain's prime minister, who refuses to admit he's facilitating Islamic sharia in the UK, has threatened to follow Emmanuel Macron's "recognition of a palestinian state":

Britain will recognize a Palestinian State by September if the situation in Gaza does not improve by then, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced today (Tuesday).

He stated that the recognition would take place at the UN General Assembly "unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, reaches a ceasefire, makes clear there will be no annexation in the West Bank, and commits to a long-term peace process that delivers a Two State Solution."

Starmer's ultimatum to Israel follows a similar announcement from French President Emmanuel Macron last week.

This really isn't surprising that somebody whose MO is communist would be willing to do this. Starmer's already proving a failure on the Islamic invasion into the UK, and when he pulls stunts like this, it only confirms what he really thinks of his own country too, much like what Macron clearly thinks of France.

Here's more about this atrocity, and what Starmer's saying has raised concerns:

Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, responded to Starmer’s announcement, pointing out that Israel has agreed several times to ceasefires which are typically rejected by Hamas.

“Israel has already agreed many times to a ceasefire,” Danon said. “No virtual recognition and no UN decision will change the basic fact that there are those who fight extremist forces, and there are those who bow their heads and ignore them.”

He added that Israel will do “everything necessary to bring home the hostages and defeat Hamas.” [...]

President Donald Trump reportedly told reporters on Tuesday that Starmer did not discuss recognizing a Palestinian state during their meeting on Monday. Trump added that putting pressure on Israel right now rewards Hamas, according to Axios’s Barak Ravid.

It also rewards the PLO, lest we forget. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce has also condemned the UN conference Starmer's alluding to. And we have to hope that this'll all help get Macron and Starmer to back off their repellent positions. Better still will be if they resign from politics.

Emmanuel Macron continues to disgrace France by recognizing a "palestinian state"

Emmanuel Macron's the latest French politician, after figures like Jacques Chirac, to represent dhimmitude and announce he's willing to recognize the Israel-invalidating propaganda of a "palestinian state":

French President Emmanuel Macron surrendered to the pressures of Islamist and anti-Israel forces on Thursday, announcing that he would recognize the fictitious “State of Palestine” in September.

Macron’s decision is a significant break with the United States, and drew accusations from Israel of supporting terrorism.

One Israeli government minister, Amichai Chikli, who used to live in France, responded by posting a video of Macron being slapped by his wife.

[...] “Palestine” lacks the basic prerequisites for a state. It has no firm boundaries; no stable constitution; and, while nominally a democracy, has not held elections in nearly two decades. It also sponsors terror and antisemitic incitement against its most important putative neighbor and trading partner, the State of Israel.

[...] The move by Macron comes in the wake of fellow European nations Ireland, Norway, and Spain, announcing that they would recognize Palestine as a state in May.

Macron's willingness to cave to demands of Islamofascist regimes is no shock though, and what good is it doing even France? It hasn't helped them at all, and it's clear even now he for one is unwilling to take any proper steps to repair all the damage the Religion of Peace has done to France from within. Macron's a humiliation, and it figures that, in his last years as president, he'd do something awful like this.

Update: USA secretary of state Marco Rubio denounced Macron's position:

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denounced French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement that his country would officially recognize “the State of Palestine”.

“The United States strongly rejects Emmanuel Macron’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly,” Rubio said in a post on X on Thursday night.

“This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th,” he added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier responded to Macron's announcement and said, "We strongly condemn President Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the October 7 massacre.”

“Such a move rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became. A Palestinian state in these conditions would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel — not to live in peace beside it. Let’s be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel," added Netanyahu.

They don't even have to refer to them as "palestinians", since that's also absurd as its fictitious. And what Macron's doing also desecrates the memory of French victims of jihadism.

Update: simultaneously, the Knesset voted to recognize sovereignty over Judea/Samaria/Gaza, and 8 states in the USA are moving forward to recognize those areas as Israeli territory too.

Update 2: predictably, even British premier Keir Starmer is being pressed to follow Macron's example. Here's more commentary on the subject from Catherine Salgado.

Anti-Israeli politicians and media spread lies about "starvation" in Gaza

Benjamin Netanyahu spoke about how the anti-Israelists are spreading blood libels about Muslims "starving" in Gaza:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out on Thursday night at world leaders for spreading "Hamas's propaganda" that Israel is starving Palestinian children, which culminated in the killing of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C.

"A few days ago, a top U.N. official said that 14,000 Palestinian babies would die in 48 hours. You see many international institutions are complicit in spreading this lie," Netanyahu said in a video posted on X.

"The press repeats it. The mob believed it. And a young couple is then brutally gunned down in Washington," the premier said, referencing victims Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, who were shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington on Wednesday night.

Addressing the starvation accusations, Netanyahu stressed that "Since Oct. 7, Israel has sent 92,000 aid trucks into Gaza. That's right. Ninety-two thousand aid trucks. That includes 1.8 million tons of aid. 1.8 million tons of aid — more than enough food to feed everyone in Gaza."

The problem, however, was that Hamas stole it, he continued.

The Hamas terrorist group "took a huge chunk for themselves. The rest they sold at exorbitant prices to the Palestinian population. And then they used the money they stole to recruit new terrorists to continue their war against Israel," Netanyahu noted.

"Our goal from the start was to get food to Palestinian civilians, not to Palestinian terrorists," he said.

Unfortunately, even if the pro-Islamic sympathisers in the west knew this, they'd still commit murders. And they don't give a damn about the subjects of Hamas regardless.

Pakistan starts war with India

There was a terrorist attack by Pakistani Muslims in India a few days ago, and now, it can very easily be said that war has started by Pakistan against India:

Troops from Pakistan and India exchanged fire in disputed Kashmir, officials said Friday, after the United Nations urged the nuclear-armed rivals to show “maximum restraint” following a deadly shooting in the region.

Relations have plunged to their lowest level in years, with India accusing Pakistan of supporting “cross-border terrorism” after gunmen carried out the worst attack on civilians in contested Muslim-majority Kashmir for a quarter of a century.

It's shameful Pakistan has any foot in Kashmir, and also offensive the UN's once again trying to draw a moral equation between India and that sharia-controlled country that was built on Indian territory.

India’s army confirmed there had been limited firing of small arms that it said had been “initiated by Pakistan”, adding it had been “effectively responded to”.

Indian security forces have launched a giant manhunt for those responsible for killing 26 men at the tourist hotspot of Pahalgam on Tuesday, with police naming two Pakistani nationals among the fugitive gunmen.

On Friday Indian troops blew up homes in Kashmir in their search and issued wanted posters with sketches of three men.

[...] Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier said his country would “track and punish every terrorist and their backer.”

“We will pursue them to the ends of the Earth.”

[...] Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since their independence in 1947. Both claim the territory in full but govern separate portions of it.

Rebel groups have waged an insurgency in Indian-controlled Kashmir since 1989, demanding independence or a merger with Pakistan.

Indian police say three of the gunmen are members of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba group, a UN-designated terrorist organisation, and issued a bounty for their arrest.

‘Reduce it to dust’

A day after the attack, New Delhi suspended a water-sharing treaty, announced the closure of the main land border crossing with Pakistan, downgraded diplomatic ties, and withdrew visas for Pakistanis.

Islamabad in response ordered the expulsion of Indian diplomats and military advisers, cancelling visas for Indian nationals — with the exception of Sikh pilgrims — and closing the main border crossing from its side.

Of course, even Sikhs doubtless aren't safe there. It's clear that sooner or later, war will erupt, and we must hope India has what it takes to do battle with these Religion of Peace monsters. And Pakistan's continued dominance in these areas can't continue.
