Iran fired missiles anew at Israel after strike in Lebanon

What's happened now is something Iran's dictators threatened at least a week before, in what proves they still won't surrender:

After threats made about a week ago that an Israeli strike in Beirut would lead to Iranian intervention, Tehran has fired missiles at northern Israel.

As a reminder, about a week ago, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with the Lebanese channel Al Mayadeen that Iran had informed the US that "if Beirut is attacked, we will not accept this under any circumstances."

He added, "From our perspective, such an action means that the ceasefire has been completely violated, and our armed forces will respond." In another post on X, Araghchi stressed that the ceasefire applied "to all fronts, including Lebanon," and that "a violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts, with the US and Israel responsible for the consequences."

In other words, they're siding with a jihadist organization, one they also fund. This is abominable. The IAF wisely took action, striking some more sites in Iran where weaponry was being built.

Now, amazingly enough, things are returning to normal, with Iran stopping their new launches, and it would appear that Donald Trump saw to that, for which credit can be given. But it has been made clear that, should Iran resume, they will face action, and action must definitely be taken if it happens.

How conservatives woke up and realized their support for homosexual marriage "rights" was harming children

In past decades, many conservatives/Republicans regrettably supported LGBT ideology, until they finally realized that, worse than validating perverse practices, mainly by men, it was seriously hurting children in the process:

Conservatives are jumping the gay marriage ship. According to a new Gallup poll, Republican support for same-sex marriage has plummeted from 55 percent in 2021 and 2022 to just 37 percent today.

The reason is simple: Republicans were told that supporting same-sex marriage meant supporting their gay brother, daughter, coworker, or friend. They were told that opposing it meant they hated gay people, and many bought it. If supporting same-sex marriage was simply the price of treating loved ones with dignity and respect, they were willing to pay it.

What they were not told was that same-sex marriage would victimize kids. No sooner had gay marriage been achieved on the grounds that marriage had nothing to do with children than activists, judges, and lawmakers turned around and demanded parenthood too.

Republicans have no interest in persecuting their gay friends and family members. What they reject is the claim that adult equality requires making children lose their mother or father. And after a decade of watching the consequences unfold, it has become obvious that “equal marriage” was never just about adult “rights.” It was about parenthood and children.

Some could say it was about cutting the mother out of the child's life, and in hindsight, I think ultra-Orthodox clans like the Satmar have some blame to shoulder for putting the keys in the ignition with their ideological approach. Even Islam's doubtless had some responsibility, based on its horrific suppression of women. One could wonder if LGBT activists paid attention to the MO of certain religious movements and adapted some of it for their own MO as well. The irony some aren't willing to consider is that religion may have played a much larger role than we think in leading to homosexuality and transsexuality by extension. Also in discussion in this article is how the efforts to remove gendered words from legal statues are still prevalent, in New York, if anywhere:

Parenthood statutes are being stripped of sexed terms. Mothers and fathers are now interchangeable “parents.” Infertility is being reclassified so same-sex couples can deliberately produce motherless or fatherless children with the help of insurance subsidies. Birth certificates have been altered to legally exclude a child’s biological parent. New parentage pathways bypass both biological and adoptive safeguards. It is the legal obliteration of the nuclear family. When familial distinctions are erased, children become items to be awarded by state-enforced contract.

The madness has not stopped. Even now, New York Democrats are advancing legislation that continues to scrub sex-specific parentage language from state law. New York legalized commercial surrogacy through its version of the UPA, the ironically named Child-Parent Security Act. Now lawmakers are cleansing the remaining statutory code so the language matches the new reality they created, replacing longstanding mother-and-father terminology with sex-neutral parentage concepts.

That’s because if you can’t name it, you can’t legally defend it. And gay activists regard even the mention of mothers and fathers as an attack on their “rights.”

And this is another reason why I'd rather not visit NY ever again. Who would've thought it be one of the worst places you could live in the USA? And only Muslims will be allowed to retain the dignity of father-mother descriptions, no doubt. NY is really going down the drain of all this shoddy propaganda.

Pasadena college is just as awful as some major universities

Rabbi Michael Barclay warns that the Pasadena City College has as much antisemitism going around as major insitutions do:

It is clear to many of us that environments on college campuses have transformed from institutions of academic learning into hotbeds of far-left activism, including and especially cultural Marxist and pro-Islamic activities. These colleges no longer serve as safe places to learn and explore; instead, they make conditions unsafe for far too many students, especially those who are Jewish and Christian and who are committed to Israel. The Department of Justice has started taking action against many of these schools such as UCLA, led by Leo Terrell, but attacks on Jewish students continue in a multiplicity of ways at smaller community colleges, such as Pasadena City College (PCC) here in Los Angeles.

This behavior is happening at high schools and junior colleges throughout the country, and I am only using PCC as the latest example because I have been called in and have personal experience with their institutionalized anti-Semitism. Most colleges around the country have Hillel programs: Jewish clubs with faculty advisors that provide support for Jewish students, are Jewish clubs working in conjunction with university administration, and create interfaith dialogue events so that Jewish and non-Jewish students learn more about each other and develop lasting relationships.

PCC is one of the few schools in the Los Angeles area that has no Hillel program. They do not even have a Jewish club of any sort, nor any faculty advisor who is there to help combat anti-Semitism. Conversely, they have a thriving Students for Justice in Palestine group: a national group devoted to furthering the Islamic goals of a worldwide Caliphate; a quasi-terrorist group that works in conjunction with Hamas, supports the Iranian regime, and is the responsible organization for the many violent riots that took place two years ago on college campuses around the country. While there is no Hillel program at Pasadena City College, the college officially supports SJP, despite, or possibly because of, its anti-American, anti-Semitic agenda. SJP has an official home at this community college in the Los Angeles suburb of Pasadena, where it meets weekly under the auspices of PCC.

Well in that case, even a smaller college shouldn't get any public/federal funding if this is the kind of creeps they're going to allow on their campus. For now, the worst part is that California under Gavin Newsom's government is undoubtably enabling this too.

Bus companies must stop providing services to Haredi extremists who participate in vandalism

From what's told in this report, it sounds like the Haredi rioters who attacked the house of a supreme court deputy had hired a bus company to drive them to the spot:

During the hearing it was revealed that a police patrol car that was in the area during the disturbance did not intervene in the incident. A police representative explained that the two officers in the vehicle fled the scene because of the large number of rioters.

The police said that the forces joined additional units and only after gathering sufficient force did they act, out of concern for the safety of the officers' lives.

The police asked to extend the suspects' detention by 12 days and claimed they were identified on a bus that left the scene after the incident. They said there is footage linking them to the location as well as other investigative material that is still being analyzed.

Judge Sahrai ruled that this was "a serious and dangerous incident" and that there is reasonable suspicion of the detainees' involvement. He said that at this stage it is not possible to determine each suspect's exact role, but the court can accept the police position that the disturbance was carried out jointly and in a premeditated, organized manner. He also noted that some suspects refused to identify themselves and did not cooperate with investigators, which raises a concern of obstructing the investigation.

At the same time, the judge ordered several suspects released to six days of house arrest. In addition, the bus driver was released without any conditions after it was determined that the likelihood of his involvement in the disturbance was "slim to non-existent."

The judge criticized the police for not checking the driver's account, who said he had made the trip according to the instructions of the company marshal who employs him.

If a bus company manager was willing to provide any kind of material backing for dangerously violent criminals, that's very serious, and underlines the shocking problem of business agents who care far more about money than safety and dignity. What this means is that the authorities are going to have to make clear to transportation companies that any sources that suspicious must be screened carefully and the police must be informed before being allowed to use their services. And stiff fines must be issued to those who fail to uphold the law, along with potential closure of their business. As for the ultra-Orthodox vandals themselves, they have to be heavily fined as much as imprisoned, and most important of all, deprogrammed from the indoctrination they were raised under.

Update: here's more details on the investigation.

Something going wrong with Miss Israel pageant in its current incarnation

I didn't know this clearly until now, but the Miss Israel pageant is still being held, in Florida rather than Israel itself, and it seems there's a controversy over where it could be going now:

The next Miss Israel may not be Israeli and may be part of a rigged competition, according to Miss Israel 2025 Melanie Shiraz, who warned that the same franchise holder that had allegedly subjected her to threats and extortion was stripping the institution of its Israeli character.

From the small pool of preselected candidates, only one had recently acquired Israeli citizenship. Shiraz understood that the new Miss Israel would be asked by the franchise owner, Edgar Entertainment, to apply for Israeli citizenship before the Miss Universe competition.

For the past two years, the competition was run from Miami, rather than in Israel, and encouraged non-Israeli Jews to apply.

“I represented Israel during one of the most difficult periods in our country’s history. That’s why it has been deeply upsetting to watch the title become increasingly disconnected from Israel itself,” said Shiraz. “A title called Miss Israel should belong to Israelis and give voice to the people whose story it is supposed to tell. If it no longer does, then what exactly does Miss Israel mean anymore?”

Becoming Miss Israel meant becoming a public ambassador for the state at a time when it was facing challenges to its history and right to exist, explained Shiraz, a responsibility that she contended required a thorough understanding of Israeli culture, society, and the Hebrew language.

Well it could be worse: what if they allow a man pretending to be a woman to participate, no matter his ethnic background? Will Shiraz or anybody else like her stand for that? Because if she does, she'll be throughly letting down self-respecting women everywhere, Jewish or otherwise, and that's a terrible example to be set for Israelis. But I will admit it's questionable if a woman who's not an Israeli citizen ends up serving as winner/spokesperson, if she doesn't speak in favor of Israel properly. And I definitely agree with Shiraz that if the current owner did anything horrific to her, that was wrong and whoever it is should be jailed for possible criminal offenses. These entertainment programs cannot be held hostage to corrupt businesses.

Even naturalized citizens have to be exiled if they commit offensive crimes

The USA Senate is looking for ways to deport naturalized citizens who commit severe offenses:

There are few remedies for removing foreign nationals who committed violent crimes, joined terrorist groups, or engaged in large-scale fraud after they became American citizens, lawmakers noted at a Senate hearing Wednesday.

Ken Cuccinelli, a former acting director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, pointed to two key cases that he said show the current law isn’t working, in his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.

In March of this year, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone, opened fire in a classroom at Old Dominion University, where he killed Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, an ROTC leader. In 2017, Jalloh pleaded guilty to providing material support to the Islamic State. He was reportedly sentenced to 11 years in prison but released early after completing a drug treatment program.

“Despite his terrorism conviction, Jalloh was never denaturalized and deported. Under current law, terrorism is prima facie evidence of fraudulent procurement only within five years of naturalization,” Cuccinelli said. “Because Jalloh’s conduct fell outside that window, the government had no clear path to remove him. A brave American soldier died because of that gap.”

Cuccinelli brought up another example: Mirsad Ramic, a Bosnian national who became a naturalized citizen and lived in Kentucky before he was convicted last year of providing material support to the Islamic State terrorist group.

“We must act on multiple fronts, strengthen the front end, so adjudicators conduct meaningful inquiries, and every applicant is thoroughly tested for hostility to American principles,” Cuccinelli said.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., the subcommittee chairman, sponsored the SCAM Act, short for “Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation.” In other cases, he noted, naturalized citizens joined the Islamic State terrorist group or al-Qaeda or joined a drug trafficking cartel.

“If a man takes the oath of allegiance and then joins ISIS, the fraud likely began long before the battlefield,” Schmitt said Wednesday. “If the man swears attachment to the Constitution, then spies for a foreign country, the betrayal likely began before the indictment. If a man claims good, moral character and then steals millions from the American people, the lie may have been present at naturalization.”

He said his bill would make it easier to denaturalize and remove immigrants who naturalized in the country and then committed a felony.

“We need a serious nationwide denaturalization effort against fraudsters, felons, terrorists, spies, and anyone who obtained American citizenship by deceit,” Schmitt said. “If the government never revokes citizenship obtained by fraud, the oath becomes theater. The application becomes a game.”

In simpler terms, one could say what's called for here is a clear law making it easier to exile foreign nationals who commit severe offenses, and it's something tons of countries that want to remain civilized are in dire need of. We have to hope the GOP will make a serious effort to pass such bills through if they want to make the USA safer again for starters. Then, Europe will definitely need it next.

Haredi extremists vandalized the home of a court justice

Once more, the Haredi extremists who're doing exactly what the Islamofascists would want have struck again, this time committing horrific vandalism:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the ultra-Orthodox riots that took place outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Noam Sohlberg on Wednesday night in opposition to his order to increase arrests of draft evaders.

“I strongly condemn the violent riot against Justice Noam Sohlberg. Law enforcement must apply the full force of the law against the rioters,” he stated. The Prime Minister's Office said that Netanyahu called Sohlberg to inquire about his well-being and inquire whether or not he would press charges against the trespassers.

Extremist protesters caused significant property damage by smashing windows, damaging his car, and attempting to break into Sohlberg's house before attempting to flee the scene.

Police arrived at the scene shortly after and began detaining dozens of individuals for disorderly conduct.

Magen David Adom (MDA) was also called to the scene after the riot was dispersed to attend to Sohlberg, who was reportedly feeling unwell.

Justice Sohlberg's wife, Meira Sohlberg, spoke to reporters following the riot.

"It cannot be that Jews do this to one another. We are children of Holocaust survivors. Jews harming each other like this - how can it be? How can it be? Look at the destruction. A pogrom. What is this? A Kristallnacht. How is this possible? There are no words.”

Later that night, Ynet reported that dozens of haredi (ultra-Orthodox) demonstrators had blocked the Kikar HaShabbat intersection in Jerusalem, in protest of the arrest of individuals outside of Sohlberg's home.

Israeli leaders decry violent attack on Sohlberg's home

In reaction to the incident, Justice Minister Yariv Levin stressed the serious nature of the riot and stated the violence deserves full condemnation.

“I hope that this time, law enforcement will fulfill its role in enforcing the law and curbing the violence. Those who have said there is no effective protest without disruption of public order, and who have legitimized severe violence and refusal by left-wing demonstrators, also bear direct responsibility for the rampant violence," he said.

“I stand with Deputy President Sohlberg and his family during these difficult hours and call on everyone to refrain from any violence, which has no place and is unacceptable.”

Defense Minister Israel Katz said that he “strongly condemns the attempted break-in at the home of Deputy President of the Supreme Court, Justice Noam Sohlberg.”

He added, “The rioters who carried out this serious act have no connection to the Torah or the values of the people of Israel. This is a small group of extremist criminals acting with violence and bullying, harming the values of the Torah world. In a state governed by law, there is no place for attempts at intimidation, violence, or threats against judges.”

As noted here:

After damaging the home, the protesters boarded a bus and tried to leave the scene. Large police forces arrived in the area, stopped the bus and locked the protesters inside until additional forces arrived. More than 50 Haredim were arrested.

Well that proves they knew what they were doing was wrong, seeing they tried to commit flight from arrest. Meanwhile, this is one of the worst examples of how ultra-Orthodox clans are crossing the line post-October 7, 2023, and beggars serious queries like whether law enforcement is going to take any preemptive steps to preventing Haredi extremists from blocking roads and even reaching the residencies of prominent law enforcement agents to cause chaos? I think they could if they wanted to, and so far, they tragically haven't.

Bnei Brak resident arrested for sexually abusing 6-year-old boy

While repellent anti-Israel Haredi clans are blocking traffic to protest the arrest of draft dodgers, among other horrific acts, they completely ignore horrific cases like the following:

Police arrested a 35-year-old Bnei Brak resident named Meir Levi on suspicion of committing an indecent act against a 6-year-old boy in the city. Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court extended his detention until tomorrow. Police are calling on anyone who recognizes the suspect and was harmed by him to contact the Bnei Brak-Ramat Gan police.

It goes without saying this is another abominable example of how sexual abuse is one of the biggest disasters to occur in Haredi societies. That they only care about causing misery for anybody they don't agree with while this goes on speaks volumes.

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.
