A Few Words About The Blog...And Me, Part II

Strident, yes.  But I try to not be nasty.  But it is frustrating to see so many fall for all the lies about Israel.  And to refuse to acknowledge that Trump has done even one positive thing.  Just recently, Trump negotiated a deal with the Prime Ministers of Denmark and Greenland, giving the US greater access to Greenland for additional military bases.  The waterways around Greenland are significant naval routes.  Trump succeeded in locking out our two major adversaries - China and Russia.  Do not expect any kudos from the mainstream media.

I watched Netanyahu's address to the UN General Assembly a short while ago.  So many delegates got up and walked out before he began speaking.  Why?  Because every last one is a Jew hater.  The tiny country of Israel, about the size of New Jersey, has been fighting a multi-front war since October 7, 2023.  October 7, when Hamas terrorists raped, tortured and murdered 1200 people (mostly Israelis), became the worst day in the history of Israel.  Who were some of the people brutally raped, tortured and murdered?  Israelis who befriended Palestinians.  Who would provide jobs to them.  Who would transport them to doctors and hospitals within Israel when needed.  All slaughtered.  As we are coming up on the third anniversay of 10/7, "strident" does not begin to cover all of my feelings.  Outrage, fury, heartache - those are some of the things that I feel.

No surprise that many of the Hollwood crowd (morons) blamed Israel for October 7.  And they accused Israel, while defending itself, of committing genocide.  No surprise that many in the mainstream/leftwing media also blamed Israel and accused Israel of genocide.  Sadly, some of my fellow Jews have joined in the false attack.  Hamas attempted a genocide of the Jewish people by killing and kidnapping civilians.  And then promised to commit another event like 10/7 over and over and over again.  Yet, Hamas gets a complete pass.  (See my 8/5/26 post "The Jew Haters Keep Repeating The 'Genocide' Lie.")

Need any more proof that those accusing Israel of genocide are simply Jew haters?  Have you heard anything from these people about the Muslims in Nigeria killing thousands of Christians?  Of course not - because no Jews are involved.  How about all the people killed by Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine?  Not a peep out of the Jew haters.  But when Trump did what every president since Bill Clinton said had to be done - not to ever allow Iran to get nukes - the Left and the Democrats went beserk.  Constantly asserting it was an illegal war because Congress did not declare war.  Yes, the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war.  When it does so, that country faces certain consequences beyond military action.

But the Constitution did not use the words "make war."  That power, in my opinion, remains with the Commander in Chief.  (Feel free to check out discussions about "declare war" vs. "make war" during the Constitutional convention.)  Regardless, I am amazed - no, shocked - that there are Americans who actually side with Iran.  Including the Democrats in Congress.  Do they really want Iran to obtain nuclear weapons?  Clinton and Obama and Biden all agreed that cannot be permitted to get nukes.  So what is the problem?  The problem is that Trump is doing it.  Therefore, TDS comes into play.    

A Palestinian journalist recently made a confession.  After Hamas kidnapped 250 people on 10/7, and brought them into Gaza, he said that "people got out, watched, beat them, hit them, and I followed them and filmed.  But I did not publish those videos."  Hamas decides what can be published.  He also said that for the two years before 10/7, "it wasn't really a siege.  Something eased... the country's standard improved.  A lot of new projects opened.  Travel got easier."  But I've said it multiple times.  With all the billlions of dollars in aid pumped into Gaza, Hamas could have made Gaza the equivalent of the UAE.  Office towers, hotels, homes.  And being on the Mediterranean, attracted business and tourism.  Instead, Hamas built 350 miles of underground tunnels, in order to sneak into Israel to kill and kidnap Israelis.  

Hamas has made it clear time after time that they do not give a you know what about the number of Palestinians who die because of their wars.  They use them as human shields.  They want more deaths, because they know that their "useful idiots" in the West will blame Israel.  I'll end with a story out of Ontario, Canada.  A 29 year old shot at the Sons of Jacob synagogue on the evening of Yom Kippur.  A police officer was wounded.  Religious sevices had to be canceled on Yom Kippur day.  Here is what Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said:  "Jewish people must be able to worship safely.  To live free, open, proud Jewish lives."  

Empty words.  It is no surprise that antisemitism and Jew hatred has been growing in Canada.  Carney's government gave recognition to a non-existent Palestinian state.  And Carney condemned Israel's self-defense in Lebanon against Hezbollah, calling it an "illegal invasion."  Was Israel just supposed to absorb thousands of rockets and missiles and do nothing?  And now, just recently, Carney joined the cowards in the UK and France, by pledging Canada's participation in a trade embargo on goods from the West Bank (Judea and Samaria).  I've got news for you, Carney.  Your constant blaming of Israel is what puts the Jewish citizens of Canada at risk.  Because there are those who will get the message that Israel is no good, and conclude that therefore Jews are no good.  So your superficial and hypocritical words of support are completely meaningless.  

Actually, I want to make one more point.  So often we hear talk of going back to the "1967 borders."  As if that would bring peace.  If the 1967 borders are so sacred, if the 1967 borders are the path to peace, then answer this.  In 1967, when Jordan controlled the West Bank, and Syria controlled the Golan Heights, and Egypt controlled Gaza, why did the Arab countries make war on Israel in an effort to wipe Israel off the map?  It's just more B.S. propaganda from the Arabs that so many in the West fall for.  How about if all those falling for the nonsense move to Gaza.  Too strident?     

A Few Words About The Blog...And Me, Part I

Recently, I had lunch with a good friend who reads my blog.  He noticed a trend in the blog - that I have become more strident in my posts.  My reply was:  "guilty as charged."  If you look up "strident" on Google, AI will tell you that it means expressing opinions in a forceful way (guilty), aggressive way (guilty again), and annoying way (I leave that up to my readers).  I replied to my friend - why wouldn't I be more strident?  Between the ever increasing Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), as well as the Israel hatred and Jew hatred, well...just when might being strident become the preferred way to be?  I understand that gentle suasion might be preferable.  But what do we do when that doesn't work?

You think TDS is not out of control?  If you haven't yet read my 9/4/26 post ("I Almost Don't Know What To Say"), please read it.  A September poll by the leftwing Center for Strategic Politics (and Liberal Currents), asked about the ways Trump might be removed from office.  The poll was of Democrats, with a 3.75 MOE.  87% favor Trump's impeachment and subsequent conviction by the Senate.  84% favor using the 25th Amendement to get him out of office.  And a shocking 59% (with 43% very positive and 16 somewhat positive) favor a military takeover.  

I thought that the Dems were all about democracy.  Look at the crop of candidates Dem leaders are supporting for the House and the Senate - it's all about getting power.  55% favor Trump dying in his sleep.  And somewhere between 23% and 32% favor his assassination.  

Remember Hasan Piker?  Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed appeared to be best buddies with Piker.  Until it was no longer politically expedient.  But he will not completely disavow Piker, who freely admits to hating America.  Here's another gem from Piker, from his podcast:  "This connection between Israel and Zionism that is expressed over and over again through a lot of these Jewish institutions, okay, is teaching people the idea that Jews are monolithic and this is a dangerous, it is a very, cause look, it is a very dangerous mode of propaganda and you want to know why - because people don't fuck with Israel any longer, and if Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they are singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone is gonna come around and take action, not against the State of Israel mind you but against American Jews."  

Listen up, you Jew hater.  Zion is part and parcel of Judaism.  It is in our Bible.  It is Jerusalem.  It is Israel.  Jews of all political persausions, and all levels of observance, identify with Zionism - the land of Israel.  (Yes, there are those Jews who do not, which is increasingly disturbing to me.)  The point is, it is NOT propaganda.  It is as important to Judaism as Mecca and Medina are to Islam.  Every Jew who believes in Israel is a Zionist.  But there you are, Piker, always ready to blame the Jews if they become victims of some evil idiot's actions.  

Then again, your buddy El-Sayed is guilty of the same thinking.  After all, back in March, when another Jew hater rammed his truck into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township in Michigan, El-Sayed tried to justify it.  The perpetrator had lost family members in Lebanon during an Israeli airstrike.  He used that as justification to attempt to murder American Jews here in the USA.  And El-Sayed then agreed, when he said that "hurt people hurt people."  El-Sayed then had to take back his comment, which, in my opinion was done soley for political expediency.  But do hurt people hurt people?  In other words, do people tend to seek revenge when something bad happens to them?  No doubt a few do.  But the vast majority of people do not.  Most people do not take the law into their own hands.  So shame on El-Sayed for suggesting that, and seeming to justify the attack on innocent American Jews.

I could go on and on, with news story after news story (which I will do) about the Left, the Islamist sympathizers, and the leftwing Jews.  All of which have increasingly caused me to become more strident in my posts.  But unlike Piker, El-Sayed and the Michigan truck driver, I won't use my frustration as an excuse to cause harm to others.  But leftwing ideology is impervious to facts, logic and reason.  I'll end this post with this comment.  A fellow attorney, also Jewish, and very leftwing, with a huge case of TDS, constantly sends me anti-Trump articles to my email.  I told him long ago that I blocked him.  So all his emails go to my spam folder and then I delete them.  

My guess is, he believes that because he sees all these anti-Trump articles in his news feed, that there is nothing good that Trump has done.  But that is how social media works.  If you search out anti-Trump articles, or read all the anti-Trump articles you see, then the social media algorithms will keep feeding you more and more anti-Trump articles.  I'll never forget that a few years ago my wife and I went looking at furniture.  Immediately upon returning home, I had one furniture store ad after the next on my cell phone.  This attorney claims to support Israel.  Yet, he hasn't sent me one article or Op-Ed in support of Israel.  His sole focus is on Trump, as he appears to be unaware of the rise in Israel hatred and Jew hatred worldwide.  If I were to email him back, you bet that I'd be strident.  And maybe even throw in a few gratuitous choice words.  

"Someone Needs To Knock Some Sense Into Him"

That's an expression that I recall from my childhood.  I probably heard some of the neighborhood fathers say it - perhaps about all of us boys.  It's certainly not a politically correct phrase; nor is it a phrase that would be acceptable to younger generations.  But we understood what it meant - get your act together, think smarter, don't do stupid stuff.  

Brad Lander (also mentioned in my July 5 post) defeated fellow Democrat, and fellow Jew, Dan Goldman for the right to run as the Democratic candidate for the House from NY's 10th district.  He is a sure winner in November in the heavily Democratic district.  Goldman was the incumbent.  But Lander accused Israel of genocide, and said he would never take money from AIPAC.  While Goldman was critical of Netanyahu, he did not accuse Israel of genocide.  Nor did he refuse campaign contributions from AIPAC.  And unlike Lander, Goldman did not support Mamdani.  Lander's more extreme anti-Israel positions enabled him to defeat the incumbent - by 30 percentage points.

Just recently, Lander was outside Madison Square Garden, where there was a rally protesting a Hindu nationalist event.  People recognized him.  And his leftwing progressivism did not protect him.  Here are some of the comments directed at him.  "You look like a wicked ballsack.  You look like a scrotum, you filthy ballsack."  And another yelled:  "Fuck you ballsack Zionist."  Another got in his face and yelled:  "Get the fuck out!  Get the fuck out!  Get the fuck out!"  

Another yelled:  "There's no such thing as a good Zionist...The only good Zionist is a dead Zionist."  It is understood that Jew haters use "Zionist" interchangeably with "Jew."  Recall from my July 5 post that Scott Weiner, a gay member of the California State Senate, attended a trans led pride Shabbat in San Francisco.  Notwithstanding his criticisms of the Israeli government, he was also yelled at.  With:  "we fucking hate you."  And:  "you do not belong here."  And:  "you stopped being queer the moment you started supporting Israel, you piece of shit."

In my August 23 post, "From Fed-up to Disillusioned and Disenchanted, Part I," I discussed an article by Bret Stephens.  He talked about the "October 8 Jews."  Jews who woke up after the October 7 massacre of Israelis by Hamas, and came to the realization that no matter how much support they gave to leftwing groups and causes, that support was not given to us in our time of great need.  We were still just Jews or Zionists or pieces of shit.  But I asked this question:  "how many American Jews never became 'October 8' Jews?"  And I asked:  "For how many American Jews did October 7 never even register?"

I suspect Brad Lander is one of those Jews.  The question is - what did he take away from his experience outside Madison Square Garden?  Did he learn anything?  Did he get the message that he needs to stand with Israel and his fellow Jews?  Because he will always be seen as just an evil Zionist Jew by his fellow Leftists.  And he will be hated for it.  If he learned nothing, then, if I may borrow that old expression, someone needs to knock some sense into him.  No, not literally.  I oppose all political violence.  But maybe he needs to be screamed at again and again until he wakes up.  Distancing yourself from Israel and from your fellow Jews did not serve you well, Mr. Lander.

As the New York Post wrote about Lander and Weiner, "They thought they were choosing between irrelevance and dishonor, chose dishonor, rendered themselves irrelevant in the process and truly earned the contempt of everyone - from the Jews they betrayed to the radicals they appeased - in the process."  Amen to that.      

I Almost Don't Know What To Say

I take no joy in writing this post.  In fact, it pains me to have say this about some of my fellow Jews.  We all know that some Jews supported, and continue to support, Zohran Mamdani, Mayor of New York City.  We know that some Jews support Abdul El-Sayed, Democratic candidate for the US Senate in Michigan.  There are probably some Jews who even support Ilhan Omar, US Representative from Minnesota.  Either these Jews unwittingly, or knowingly, turned on their own people.  

Jewish Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told us the reason for supporting El-Sayed - he wants the Democrats to take back the Senate, and assumes he will then be selected as Senate Majority Leader.  It is not as if Schumer does not know all the anti-American and anti-Israel and anti-Jewish ideas connected to El-Sayed.  He knew about the Nazi SS tattoo sported by Graham Platner, who was running for Senate in Maine.  But he supported him anyway, at least until all the allegations of sexual harassment against women came up.  Because women, and blacks and Hispanics and gays and every other group, are more important than Jews.  If Hitler was running for that seat, would Schumer support him?  I'd be afraid to ask him.

Now along comes the Democratic Attorney General of the State of Michigan, Dana Nessel.  AG Nessel is Jewish.  She recently spoke to the Michigan Democratic Party's Jewish Caucus.  She told the Jewish Democrats that they have a "moral imperative to place the needs of the world above our own self-interest."  Then this:  "It is perhaps up to us now to follow in her (referencing Queen Esther from the Jewish Bible) path and sacrifice the comfort, safety and security and even the very future of our own people in exchange for the opportunity to save the rest of humanity."  

First, Queen Esther risked herself in support of the Jewish people - not in an effort to get rid of the Jewish people.  Second, it was clear to me that Nessel wanted Jewish Democrats to support El-Sayed so that the Democrats take back the Senate, and can block Trump his last two years in office.  Here is how she put it:  "What good is defending the historic homeland of our ancestors (Israel) and demanding that candidates acknowledge its right to exist (El-Sayed does not acknowledge Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state) if the planet uopn which it rests is no longer inhabitable."  You know, climate change, and whatever other threats she perceives.

As much as I was reluctant to write this post, I think the underlying message is extremely important for all to hear.  Here is a Jewish woman willing to see the end of her fellow Jews, why?  The clear implication is that as long as Jews exist the world is not safe.  As long as Jews exist the world may come to an end.  Jews may be singularly responsible for the end of the world if they don't vote for El-Sayed.  Hence, the title of this post.  There are certain words I don't use in the blog.  I could say she is a perfect example, par excellence, of a self-hating Jew.  Jews must either support El-Sayed (or what, die?) for the world to continue to exist.

This is sheer lunacy.  It is insanity.  It is way beyond self-loathing.  To be clear, every other group (racial, ethnic, religious) can continue to exist and not threaten the future of the world.  Do I have that right?  What is wrong with you, AG Nessel?  You are seriously sick.  You should immediately seek counseling.  I get it - you have an extreme case of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).  It is so extreme that anything and everything must be done to block Trump from exercising any power his last two years in office.  Otherwise, the world will come to an end during those two years.  

I can't believe Ms. Nessel is the Attorney General of a state.  I can't believe she is even an attorney, given her complete inability to engage in logical thinking.  What about this, AG Nessel?  The world does not end within the next two years, a Democrat wins in 2028, and reverses everything that Trump has done (G-d forbid).  Trump has already been in office for nearly six years.  Has the world ended?  Where is your evidence that the world will end in the two years after this election if the Democrats don't take back the Senate?  Before suggesting that the Jewish people need to cease to exist, did you consider any of the above?  Did you consider any other scenarios?  

Suggesting that the Jewish people need to cease to exist because of the need to support some leftwing candidate or cause, is beyond sick.  It is evil.  And it is the type of evil that the Jewish people have seen (from multiple nations and peoples) throughout our long history.       

From "Fed Up" to Disillusioned and Disenchanted, Part II

When I said in the last paragraph of Part I that I blame the Democrats for any similarities between America today and 1930's Germany, I was neither kidding nor exaggerating.  You see, the Democrats do not push back against the rampant Jew hatred sweeping our country.  They endorse it.  Think I'm wrong?  

Everyone remember Graham Platner?  The Senate candidate in Maine who sported a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo.  Did that stop Democrats from supporting him?  Of course not.  Bernie Sanders (an Independent who caucuses with the Democrats), Elizabeth Warren, Sheldon Whitehouse and Ruben Gallego - all United States Senators who supported Platner.  Who else supported him?  Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.   Because, hey, why not support an apparent Nazi lover if it helps the Dems to take back the Senate.  Platner was forced to drop out following allegations of sexual harassment.  The Nazi tattoo was just fine.

Let's be realistic.  Who do you think the socialists vote for - Democrats or Republicans?  How about the Antifa crowd?  Or the intifada supporting Jew haters?  How about the Democratic Socialists of America?  They all vote Democrat.  What about the Islamists?  Isn't it obvious?  Mamdani ran as a Democrat.  El-Sayed ran as a Democrat.  Which brings me to another member of the extended family.  This family member would support the Islamist El-Sayed in order for the Demcorats to take back the Senate.  I need to be very clear about this - supporting an apparent Nazi sympathizer, supporting an Israel hating (and in my opinion Jew hating) Islamist is justified, because Trump is worse than the Nazis and the Islamists?

These people are out of their minds!  I am not going to suggest that they do not know what the Nazis did.  That they do not know about the Holocaust.  Do they know about the Islamists?  How could they not?  The 25th anniversary of 9/11 is coming up.  The 3rd anniversary of 10/7 is coming up.  How could they not know about these things?  Do they not know anything about El-Sayed, or does it not matter?  That he does not believe that Israel has the right to exist as the one Jewish state in the world.  I never heard him object to the multitude of Islamic run states.

I do know that El-Sayed supports Sharia law.  And he claims that those who favor legislation banning Sharia law do so because of white supremacy; and because they fight Muslims like they did with every other minority fighting for their rights.  Which is nonsense, because those other minorities wanted to simply participate in the American system on an equal footing with others, under our laws and Constitution.  Sharia law opposes our system of government and does not provide the same rights given by our Constitution.  

I did discuss El-Sayed in my August 12th post.  But it seems that many of his family members have ties to radical Islamist organizations.  We know El-Sayed is buddies with Hasan Piker.  Among other things previously mentioned in my posts, Piker is to have said "motherfuck the Constitution and motherfuck this country."  And, "I wipe my ass on the Constitution."  And El-Sayed will be speaking at the annual Islamic Society of North America convention, meeting September 4 through Sptember 7.  Speakers will include a Holocaust denier.  And a cleric who forced his 13 year old niece to marry; and who says others should do the same.  And who also advocates for men deciding if their wives can go to college.  Not to mention saying that the Quran condemns Jews.

But, give El-Sayed a break.  He says he does not necessarily endorse other speakers or what they say.  Sure, I buy that.  At what point does what someone else says become so offensive to you that you refuse to appear with them?  And, let's be honest.  If these speakers were condemning blacks the way they were condemning Jews, would El-Sayed go anywhere near them?   

While my family members and other Leftists focus on Trump, their narrow vision prevents them from seeing the true threat to America and the Jewish people.  I wonder if they have any idea how so many college kids came to hate Israel and the Jews.  One organization (AISH, although AI reports similar numbers) tells us how much money Arab countries have "invested" in US universities.  Here's a breakdown of their "donations" from 2000:  Qatar, donated close to $5 billion; Saudi Arabia, about $3 billion; the UAE, over $1 billion; Kuwait, over $1 billion; Egypt and Oman, over $100 million each; and even the non-existent State of Palestine, donated over $10 million.  You know, Palestine, which has no money to feed their people.

Who thinks these countries, often setting up Middle Eastern studies departments at American universities, are promoting American values?  Things like respect for the Constitution, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal rights for all people, including women.  Yet, these are the people many on the Left prefer over Trump.  As readers know, I've had my own complaints about Trump.  But there is simply no comparison to the harm being caused, and which will continue to be caused, by the Leftists/Socialists/Islamists vs. Trump.  

So, we have one of the two major parties in this country, the Democrats, siding with those who hate America, hate Israel and hate the Jews.  So, if America today bears any resemblance to 1930's Germany, it is not because of Trump.  It is because the Leftists and Islamists are discriminating against Jews, harassing Jews and attacking and even killing Jews.  Just like in 1930's Germany.  With rank and file Democrats going along with their leadership.  Other than John Fetterman, I've seen precious little pushback against the Leftists and Islamists.  So, in case anyone was wondering why I might be disillusioned and disenchanted. 

     

From "Fed Up" to Disillusioned and Disenchanted, Part I

Lately, I'm just beside myself.  When I wrote the recent 3 part post "I'm Fed Up!  Why Aren't You?" I was, well, fed up.  But it is draining to maintain that level of intensity.  A long time friend recently texted me to say:  "Unlike you, I am not energized by current events; I am exhausted by them...(but) I admire your energy on this stuff."  But, honestly, sometimes I, too, feel drained.  This is one of those times.

What am I to make of a member of my extended family, who said I never asked how they were feeling after Trump won (I know this person is on the Left), and after the Palisades and Altadena fires (I had no idea they had any connection to those areas other than living in LA County).  Conspicuous by its absence was how this Jewish family member felt after the events of October 7.  When Hamas carried out the brutal rape, torture and murder of approximately 1200 Israeli Jews - the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.  So maybe everyone did not react the way I did, with tears and anger and many sleepless nights.  But no reaction at all?

I don't get it.  Within a single lifetime after the creation of the modern state of Israel, Israel means nothing to you?  You have it so good here in America (a country which many of you do not even appreciate), that you are free to support one leftwing cause after the next.  Bret Stephens is a very bright Op-Ed writer, but is also a Never-Trumper.  Here is what he wrote in the November, 2024 edition of Commentary magazine:  "The resurgence of anti-Semitism in the United States has begun to force a fundamental rethink of the way in which at least some American Jews contemplate their place in society:  I call them "October 8 Jews" - those who woke up the day after the attack with a clear understanding of who our friends are not."  He is talking, of course, about how much of America and the world turned on not just Israel for daring to fight back, but on all Jews everywhere. 

Then Stephens said this:  "So many institutions in American life that were once welcoming places for American Jews have turned bad:  elite private schools; human-rights organizations; the literary world; social work; Mideast-studies departments; public school curriculum - the list is long.  In every one of these fields or institutions, October 8 Jews have a clear choice:  Reject, reform, or reinvent them.  What's no longer possible is to pretend that what we have now is acceptable, or that indifference and inaction are viable options."  Here's my problem with that:  how many American Jews never became "October 8" Jews.  For how many American Jews did October 7 never even register?  Because all they care about is Trump.  Trump got rid of abortion, right?  No, he didn't.  

Stephens is not exaggerating when he says so many institutions have turned against the Jews.  The head of the American Jewish Medical Association, Eveline Shekhman, testified on May 20, 2026, before the House Committee on Education and Workforce, Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions.  If you want to see just how bad things are in just this one sector of our society, you should Google her name and request the actual text of her testimony.  Here's one snippet:  "Immediately folowing Hamas's October 7th attacks, a coordinated cmpaign of celebration and funding of "resistance" to Israel's existence was unleashed.  Unbelievably, the healthcare sector was designated as fair game for the promotion of a campaign of demonization and distortion, in particular around the notion that any Jewish healthcare professional was "complicit" in genocide."  

Need a few examples?  A nurse in Portland said she would refuse to treat Jewish patients because she does "not take care of animals."  At a different hospital doctors and nurses were chanting "long live the intifada."  Never to be outdone, in California an antisemitic flyer was circulated with this language:  "We do not want any Zionists or former IDF soldiers who support or have participated in this genocide, taking care of our families."  How about asking Jewish healthcare professionals that they need to renounce Israel if they expect to be accepted in the workplace.  Allow me to ask all readers, Jews and non-Jews alike - do you feel safer with a Jewish healthcare professional, or one who supports the terrorist group Hamas?   

But Trump is the new Hitler, right?  Because what's happening in our country is no different from what happened in 1930's Germany.  But it's not because of Trump.  It is because of the Democrats and the Leftists and the Islamists.  As John Podhoretz wrote, also in Commentary magazine:  "The analogy to 1933 is there, because the mob is there, because the Jew-haters are there, because the genociders are waiting for their chance.  But miraculously - and I think I mean that literally, that "miraculously" there is a force staying their hand.  And it isn't the monster of their nightmares.  It's the president himself, who has empowered his Justice and Education Departments to fight for the rights of Jewish students on campus.  It's the president himself, who targeted the worst anti-Semite in Congress for defeat in the Arkansas primary.  It's the president himself, who has become the best friend the Jewish state has ever had."  To which I would add - it's the president who is doing his best to keep America the best place in the world (outside of Israel) for the Jewish people.         

The Real Abdul El-Sayed

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed won the Democratic primary for the US Senate from the state of Michigan on Tuesday.  He will be running against Republican Mike Rogers in the November general election.  What do we know about El-Sayed?  Like all progressive/Leftists, he does not think much of Israel.  He accuses Israel of genocide (which is nonsense - see my 8/5/26 post "The Jew Haters Keep Repeating The 'Genocide' Lie").  And, of course, he wants to cut all aid to Israel, even for defensive systems such as Iron Dome, which saves Israeli lives.  But who cares about them, right?  

Nor does he believe that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state.  But I have not found anything to suggest he opposes countries governed by Islamic or Sharia law.  In fact, he has strongly opposed states that have banned Sharia law.  I wonder how many Leftists would make excuses if their daughters had to live under Sharia law.  

Has anyone else listened to El-Sayed's victory speech?  I can best describe it as mean and mean-spirited.  In addressing the Republican candidate, Mike Rogers, here is what El-Sayed had to say.  "I know you're going to say no because you're a coward.  Five debates.  All right?  You and I both know that you will wither in front of your own crimes, but I'm gonna make sure all Michiganders know about them.  By the time we're done, you are not going to have safe quarter from people holding you accountable for what you've done."  No safe quarter?  Really?  You looking to have a violent mob act as judge, jury and executioner?  What crimes has Rogers committed?  El-Sayed doesn't say.  But like all good Leftists, the accusations alone prove guilt.  Then punishment follows.  Think Communist Russia (the USSR).

So who are the people in El-Sayed's circle?  Well, his father was the president of the Michigan chapter of CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), and a founding member of the ISNA (Islamic Society of North America).  CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land terrorism trial.  El-Sayed's wife is a psychiatrist.  It has been reported that her practice does not accept Medicare, Medicaid or even private insurance.  Ironic, in that El-Sayed advocates for universal health insurance coverage.  Maybe not a surprise.  El-Sayed has mocked Mike Rogers for owning property in Florida, while El-Sayed owns property in Dubai and India.  

We also know that El-Sayed is buddies with Hasan Piker, the America-hating and Israel-hating current king maker in the Democratic Party.  Recall that Piker is the guy who said that America deserved 9/11.  El-Sayed excused that by saying it was a dumb statement, and that Piker said he could have phrased it better.  I don't see any better phrasing of "America deserved 9/11."  Especially from someone who has a framed picture of the burning Towers hanging in his home/office.  And, Piker said "it doesn't matter if rape happened on October 7th (2023, during the Hamas attack on Israel).  As for those Democrats who voted for El-Sayed's opponent in the primary, Haley Stevens, Piker said those voters were "unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of shit."  I'd say Mr. Piker does a good job of making people fearful of Muslims.  

What else has El-Sayed said?  Well, he has supported defunding the police.  And, I've noticed that Leftists and Islamists have much in common.  Such as not having fun.  El-Sayed:  "Football is very much associated with a particularly masculine and oftentimes toxically masculine culture."  Would he want to ban football?  Probably, in my opinion.  During a 2018 run for governor, he told a filmmaker who was taking pictures in his home, to not take any pictures of his bookshelves.  One book on the shelf was apparently "Cutting The Fuse" (2010).  That book takes the position that suicide terrorism is caused by foreign military occupation, not by Islamic fundamentalism/extremism.    

The Washington Free Beacon reported that El-Sayed, on his podcast, pushed for people to get a book called "Let This Radicalize You:  Organizing in the Revolution of Reciprocal Care."  The Free Beacon says the book tells people they should not think that violent protests are bad.  As an example, they talk about the George Floyd protests (riots really).  After noting that many people supported supported the protests, the authors say "many fewer people defended the rights of protesters who were arrested for acts of property destruction and funneled into the racist carceral system."  Maybe that is because normal people do not want to see their businesses, their neighbors' businesses and their communities destroyed.  

Here is what else the authors of that book say:  "There is no greater purveyor of violence in the world than the US government.  From war to policing to incarceration to border violence to the slashing of the social safety net, the US government kills untold millions.  The violence of the rebellion is infinitesimal smaller by comparison...The maintenance of global capitalism necessitates mass death."  Now, it's true that the producers of El-Sayed's podcast, those funding it, may have insisted on him pushing this book.  But he maintained the ability to say "no, I will not advocate for such a book."  He did not do so. 

Does anyone not see El-Sayed, and others like him (think Zohran Mamdani), as wolves in sheep's clothing?  As a Trojan horse being offered up as a gift by the Left who support these extremists, with offers of all kinds of free stuff.  In case you were wondering, the so-called mainstream Democrats are on board with these America haters.  Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) said:  "I'm very confident we're going to win in Michigan."  Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI):  "I am going to be working very hard to get a Democratic majority in the United States Senate."  

And California Governor, and likely 2028 presidential candidate, Gavin Newsom, who couldn't wait to congratulate El-Sayed on his victory:  "Congratulations Abdul El-Sayed on a hard fought victory.  Trump and the GOP are trying everything to rig the rules and silence voters - but they can't stop a Democratic Party united around working people and accountability."  Ah yes, the "big tent" party - filled with Jew haters and Israel haters and America haters. After all, as Piker said, "it doesn't matter if rape happened on October 7th."
