Want To Run As A Democrat? Prove You Hate Israel. Part I

Did anyone see the ad put out by Rebellion PAC?  It appears that Cenk Uygur, one of the Young Turks (not so young), is behind it.  It is meant to bolster the Senate campaign of Abdul El-Sayed.  And it should be no surprise to anyone that Cenk Uygur is the uncle of Hasan Piker, America hater and Israel hater and Jew hater.  In the ad we see a couple grocery shopping.  The woman tells the man to put back a carton of eggs.  He asks "why?  Don't the kids like eggs anymore?"  She replies, "No, they like eggs, but we have to set that seven dollars aside for killing Palestinians."  She continues:  "Apparently, it's costing us a lot of money to drop bombs on Gaza."  The man replies to this effect:  Don't they (Israelis) also have universal healthcare?  Says the woman:  "yeah, they do.  We're paying for that too, probably."  Then the man says:  "Might as well put the bananas back."  

Then the ad ends saying El-Sayed's opponent, Mike Rogers, cares more about Israel than America.  What a joke.  What a disgusting antisemitic ad.  Israel gets $3.8 billion dollars a year in aid from the US.  Most of which Israel is required to spend here in the US on military hardware.  Last year the PA and Gaza got $565 million dollars in aid from the US.  Overall, they got $4.42 billion dollars.  But there is no concern about the killing done by Hamas.  Remember the 10/7/23 massacre of Israeli men, women and children.  Or, how Hamas tolerates no dissent, with the death penalty carried out against offenders without any trial.  

Of course, the entire premise of the ad is false, as Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza.  (As previously discussed in this blog.)  And the ad makes no sense anyway.  If they don't buy the egss are they giving that money to our government to give to Israel to make/buy bombs?  It's ridiculous, and about as antisemitic as you can get.  I do need to point out that the ad was not done in coordination with El-Sayed's campaign, in order to not violate campaign finance laws.  

As pointed out in the last 3 part post, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, with presidential aspirations, seeks to make a political litmus test for those running for office as a Democrat.  What's the test?  Supporting a Palestinian state, consisting of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.  And, Van Hollen says the US should be on a collision course with the Israeli government if they don't agree to this suicidal establishment of a terrorist state on their borders.  

Nithya Raman is running for Mayor of Los Angeles agains incumbent Karen Bass.  Raman is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and has been supported by the local chapter.  However, the national organization voted that Raman will have until Saturday to confirm her support for the BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement against Israel or lose their endorsement.  Raman:  "Over the last couple of years I have come to believe strongly that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and I have felt deeply uncomfortable with US tax dollars funding this atrocity."

And now this:  "I believe the best way for working Angelenos to stand in solidarity with Gaza is through non-violent protest, legislative action, and diplomatic pressure, including BDS."  Now, you might ask - what does being the Mayor of Los Angeles have to due with Israel or Gaza?  The antisemitic ad mentioned above criticized Mike Rogers for caring more about Israel than America.  But El-Sayed has had plenty to say about Israel - including that he does not believe that it has the right to exist as a Jewish state.  Now, a candidate for Mayor of a city is chiming in.  Because hatred of Israel has become the motivating factor for Democrats in this election cycle.  

But that is hardly the end of it.  El-Sayed said this:  "I think it's time for us to realize that Israel is actually not our friend."  Israel is actually one of our best friends in the world.  America would be less safe without Israel as our ally.  But maybe El-Sayed prefers that we be friends with Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran.  His family does have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.  

I don't care how many time El-Sayed talks about the Constitution.  Or talks about American values.  He may be a smooth talker, but I don't believe a word he says.  He certainly welcomed the support of America hater Hasan Piker.  The same Piker who said America deserved 9/11.  The same Piker who said "Fuck the Constitution.  I wipe my ass with the Constitution.  It's a piece of paper.  Fuck the Constitution.  Fuck this country."  

Honestly, I'm at a loss for words for anyone who votes for today's Democratic Party.  I know those people hate Trump.  But he's out of office in 2 years.  Is your hatred of Trump worth putting into office America haters, Israel haters and Jew haters.  Because it appears that their influence will continue well beyond the remaining two years of Trump's term.       

Why Do Democrats Want To End The U.S. - Israeli Relationship? Part III

I said I would speak about the DAWN (Democracy for the Arab World) annual gala at which Senator Van Hollen was the keynote speaker.  Who was at the dinner with him?  The Executive Director (Nihad Awad) of CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations).  CAIR, you may recall, was an undicted co-conspirator in the 2007/2008 Holy Land Foundation terror trial.  Awad said he was "happy to see" the Hamas attack of 10/7.  Also present was Francesca Albanese, who, as Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories (the title alone tells you that Israel is guilty) has quite the reputation for being anti-Israel.

Of course, Van Hollen said the usual stuff - Israel being guilty of genocide, Netanyahu being a war criminal.  Of more interest is the the fact that in 2025 DAWN produced a deck of 50 cards with pictures.  Of who?  The 41 board members of AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and its 9 executives.  This was not unlike the cards made by the U.S. of Iraqi officials.  But here, we are talking about the names and faces of American citizens.  DAWN was making AIPAC board members and executives targets.  Because, G-d knows, we haven't seen enough targeting of Jews since 10/7.  Disgusting! 

Let's briefly talk about a couple of other Democrats.  Abdul El-Sayed recently debated Mike Rogers, as both are running for the Senate seat in Michigan.  El-Sayed refuused to say whether Iran or Israel was a bigger danger to the U.S.  Curious.  Iran has been at war with the U.S. for 47 years.  Taking Americans hostage, killing Americans directly and indirectly through their proxies, and targeting American bases throughout the Middle East.  But El-Sayed said he does not consider Israel an ally (of course not) because he alleges Israel somehow forced us into an unnecessary war with Iran.  Which is nonsense.  Again, every president from Bill Clinton forward said Iran must not be allowed to get nuclear weapons.  I believe Trump's first commentss about Iran not being allowed to get nukes dates back to 2011.

Then we have Barack Obama, who started telling lies about Israel his first year in office.  Obama was in Belfast, and had an interview with a Susan McKay.  Apparently referring to the Jews control over Israel, and the reaction of the Palestinians to that, Obama said "those people understandably said, 'This is injustice, and I want my land back.'"  Thank you Obama for justifying the atrocities committed by Hamas on 10/7.  And screw you!

But this is where the Democrats are.  Remember, Van Hollen expects the U.S. to be on a "collision course" with Israel, our best ally in the Middle East, and one of our best allies in the world.  Idiots like Van Hollen do not realize the loss there would be to America if he gets his way.  Israel is on the front lines fighting the same enemies that are enemies of America.  The U.S. holds joint military operations with Israel.  Israel provides unparalleled intelligence to the U.S., with the Mossad being recognized as one of the premier intelligence agencies in the world.  Together with Israel, the best missile defense systems have been developed (Iron Dome, Arrow, David's Sling).  

When Israel receives military hardware from the U.S., do you know what they do?  They improve it.  They make it better.  Only Israel is permitted by the U.S. to "install its own custom software, electonic systems and weapons" (Per AI) onto the F-35 Lightning II (the most advanced fighter jet in the world).  Then the U.S. learns from those modifications.  I could go on and on.  Of course, I need to mention that only Israel is a democracy, with shared values.  No Arab country is considered to be a full democracy.  And many are authoritarian.  

So, what is going on?  Why do Democrats, such as Van Hollen and others, want to throw away one of the most valuable relationships that the U.S. has with another country?  I suppose one could argue that they want to weaken America.  There are those, especially in the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) who believe America is too powerful.  They want to defund the police and the military.  Even though a weaker America makes for a more dangerous world.  And creates a greater danger to the American people.  But maybe the simplest explanation is the best.  It usually is.  Van Hollen and the rest of them are Jew haters.  

How else does one explain the complete lack of outrage over 10/7?  How else does one explain that, at best, these people give lip service to the atrocities committed by Hamas - rape, mutilation, torture and murder.  Even of babies, FFS!  How else to explain the lack of reaction to the Palestinians celebrating as they were committing these atrocities.  Yes, they were celebrating - they even filmed themselves celebrating.  This is a complete erasure of Judeo-Christian values in favor of radical Islam.  Why?  Jew hatred.  And, if people like Van Hollen and other Democrats get their way, they will have significantly increased the danger to all of us.     

Why Do The Democrats Want To End The U.S. - Israeli Relationship? Part II

It should surprise no one that only 26% of Israelis say they would favor a two-state solution.  (Per a 10/26 Gallup poll.)  The real surprise is why anyone would favor a two-state solution, especially after 10/7.  After all, the Hamas leaders said they plan on carrying out further 10/7 style attacks over and over and over again.  And let's not forget the 10/7 attack targeted civilians.  Most analysts agree that the timing of this attack was meant to dissuade Saudi Arabia from joining the Abraham Accords, as the Saudis seemed to be inching torward joining.  And let's not forget the purpose of terrorism.  It is to terrorize a population.  With attacks in the north from Hezbollah and in the south from Hamas, tens of thousands of Israelis have been displaced from their homes.  But isn't that the goal - get the Jews to leave.

A study by the National Mental Health Barometer in Israel found that 15% of the population personally knew someone killed or injured on 10/7.  Compare that to 9/11 here, with only 4% of Americans knowing someone killed or injured.  That's nearly 4 times more for Israelis.  And what about the psychological effects of 10/7?  32% of women ages 18 to 35 were found to have impaired functioning, as was 20% of the overall population.  20%!  1 in 5!  Symptoms include anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress.  Nearly one-third of the population were found to be clinically diagnosed with depression, anxiety or PTSD.  50% said that 10/7 affected their leisure activities.  35% expressed difficulty in forming and maintaining close relationships.  But none of this is of any concern to Senator Van Hollen.

As one Fatah official said:  "We know the trap we have set for Israel by demanding a two-state solution."  This official claimed that within 20 years of having a state, the Palestinians could have an aircraft industry and industrial sector capable of rivaling Israel's.  At that point:  "In my view, the establishment of a Palestinian state would mean the disappearance of the Israeli entity, and the end of global Zionism."  I have no idea why anyone actually believes the conflict with the Palestinians is about land.  I have repeatedly explained that the Arabs were killing Jews in the British Mandate area in the 1920's.  A part of that land later became Israel.  A larger part of that land became Jordan.  And the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem sided with Hitler and against the United States during WWII.  He wanted to have Hitler help him with the Final Solution - against the Jews in the Mandate.  Before there was an Israel.  Nothing has changed.  Hamas is aiming for the Final Solution still, and that was the purpose of 10/7/23.  10/7 was the true genocide.      

Van Hollen is setting the table for how he believes all Democrats must treat Israel.  "The next Democratic president should recognize a state of Palestine that is subject to clear benchmarks, including free and fair elections...the United States should treat Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as part of Palestine."  Sure, what a great idea.  In the last election, 2007, the people of Gaza elected Hamas as their government.  They have had no further elections.  And the West Bank?  Abbas was elected in 2005 to a four year term, and has held no further elections since.  

How is this for a threat against our major ally in the Middle East, and one of our best allies in the world:  "Moving forward will not be easy.  It will place the United States on a collision course with any Israeli government opposed to a Palestinian state."  Only an insane Israeli leader would consider agreeing to a Palestinian state on both their east and southwest borders.  This ass Van Hollen really does not care how many Israelis are killed.  Or if Israel continues to exist.  And, he maligns AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee), made up up Jewish Americans who support Israel, along with Christians who also support Israel, for having the nerve to support the one Jewish state in the world.    

And, he tells the rank and file Democratic voters what to expect.  And he warns any Democrat what their stance about Israel needs to be.  "Primary voters won't trust any Democratic Presidential candidate who does not have a record of moral and strategic clarity on these issues, especially if, as a legislator, he or she voted to send Mr. Netanyahu bombs even as his government imposed a total blockade on Gaza...nor will they support a candidaate who plans to re-enlist the senior Democratic decision makers who whitewashed the truth during the Biden administration and refuse to acknowledge their complicity."   

Wow!  Would Van Hollen like to send former Biden Administration officials to re-education camps?  Like in the Soviet Union or Communist China?  Total blockade on Gaza?  Liar!  If so, how does Hamas manage to get all the automatic weapons, rockets, and all the material to build hundreds of miles of underground tunnels, allowing them to sneak into Israel in order to kill and kidnap Jews.  Total blockade?  Liar!  Hundreds of tons of food have gotten into Gaza, thanks to Israel.  What other country feeds the population of a country that is trying to annihilate them?  

And the threat to other Democrats is clear - support the Palestinians and oppose Israel, or else.  To say that he is encouraging Democrats to be aggressively anti-Israel is a gross understatement.  But I'm curious.  In what way has Hamas been an ally of the United States?  In what way have the Palestinians been allies of the United States?  Doesn't matter.  Doesn't matter if Israel is a great ally of ours.  What is important - hate the Jews.  

(Note.  I said I would say a few words about Van Hollen speaking at DAWN.  And I also have a few words about other Democrats.  Please see Part III.)

Why Do The Democrats Want To End The U.S.-Israeli Relationship? Part I

(Note.  In previous posts I have discussed how the Democratic Party has moved away from support for Israel.  We've seen it in the way Democrats in Congress vote, with all 45 Democratic Senators voting to block all or some military aid to Israel, while Israel is fighting a multifront war.  We've seen it in the poll numbers showing rank and file Democrats now favoring the Palestinians over Israel.  But now, we have a sitting U.S. Senator openly saying that we need to move away from support for Israel.  Whether he truly knows nothing of the many ways the U.S. benefits from Israel as an ally, or whether he is just an antisemite, I leave up to my readers.  But Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md), who has aspirations to become President, was the keynote speaker at DAWN (Democracy for the Arab World Now), along with other Jew haters.  More on that later.)

Senator Van Hollen penned an Op-Ed for the May 26, 2026 New York Times.  I should not have been shocked upon reading his Op-Ed, knowing how the Democrats no longer favor Israel.  But here was a Democratic U.S. Senator saying it all out loud.  Before I give you some quotes from his Op-Ed, let me be clear.  He says all the usual lies about Israel - being an apartheid state, engaging in ethnic cleansing, engaging in genocide and enforcing collective punishment.  What does he say about Hamas?  NOTHING!  What does he say about October 7, 2023?  NOTHING!  Who does he blame for violence and instability throughout the Middle East?  ISRAEL!  (Technically, he blames the conflict between Israel and the Palestines, but it's Israel's fault for the ongoing conflict.)  (Note.  I avoid the use of expletives in my blog.  I cannot promise I'll be able to refrain here.)  

Let's start with this.  Van Hollen:  "The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has ensnared us in violence and caused instability throughout the Middle East."  Oh?  The Lebanese civil war (April, 1975 - October, 1990) was a war involving Muslims and Christians.  There were an estimated 120,000 to 150,000 casualties, with about 1 million people displaced.  Lebanon went from being a Christian run country to a Muslim country.  Hundreds of thousnds of Christians were displaced.  The war between Iran and Iraq lasted from 1980 to 1988.  An estimated 450,000 to 500,000 people were killed, with 1 to 2 million people being wounded.  Then we had the war between Iraq and the U.S. allies.  Over 1 million Christians have been displaced from Iraq.  I guess Senator Van Hollen does not care about Christian deaths and displacement from their homes in the Middle East.  Because the Jews were not involved.  

The Syrian civil war (March, 2011 to December 2024) resulted in an estimated 350,00 to 580,000 or more deaths,  Civilian deaths were estimated at 219,000 to 306,000.  13 to 14 million people were displaced, with many people fleeing to nearby countries and to Europe.  The Saudi and Yemen/Houthis war began in 2014.  There have been hundreds of thousands of deaths.  Not to mention what has been described as widespread famine and malnutrition, with many people being displaced.  One estimate has 150,000 people being directly killed, and 377,000 people being killed indirectly.  

Sudan, although in Africa, is Middle East adjacent.  That civil war, begun in 2023, resulted in anywhere from 150,000 to over 400,000 deaths.  14 million people were forcibly displaced, with 25 million facing severe issues of food insecurity and famine.  Although not Middle East adjacent, the West African country of Nigeria has seen over 130,000 Christians being killed (murdered), with tens of thousands being abducted.  But that's just Muslims killing Christians again, so need for antisemites to be bothered by any of it.  I would love to ask Senator Van Hollen what Israel or the Israel - Palestinian conflict had to do with any of those conflicts.  After all, he blames Israel for all the instability in the Middle East.  And, of course, I'd like to know why he doesn't seem to give a damn about those conflicts which resulted in many more casualties than the Israeli - Palestinian conflict.    

How dare he not mention Hamas?  How dare he not mention that Israel vacated Gaza in 2005.  And that the people of Gaza elected Hamas, a terrorist organization, as their govenment.  He clearly did not discuss the numerous times the Palestinians have been offered a state of their own, starting the same time as when Israel was offered a state, by the UNGA resolution in November, 1947.  He chose not to discuss the billions of dollars in aid that Hamas has received over the years, which would have enabled them to build a productive society in Gaza.  He chose not to ask why they used all their money to build underground tunnels into Israel so that they can kill and kidnap Jews.  And, of course, he did not mention all the wars that Hamas started.    

Worst of all, he chose not to mention the events of October 7, 2023.  When thousands of Hamas terrorists entered Israel and brutally raped, tortured and murdered 1200 people - mostly civilians, and took another 251 people as hostages.  They even raped and murdered and took as hostages little babies.  Van Hollen also failed to mention how joyful the Hamas terrorists were while committing their atrocities.  Nor did he mention how the people of Gaza, the so-called innocents, joined in the celebrations of those killed and kidnapped.   

Van Hollen is rather explicit in saying how he feels about Israel:  "For decades, we (Democrats) have called for a two-state solution, but we've failed to use our leverage to make it real.  It's past time that we use that leverage to end the occupation and achieve two states with full political and legal rights for all.  That means withdrawing taxpayer support from Israel and conditioning arms sales."   I can tell you what the Israelis now think of this idea of a two-state solution.  And how October 7 affected them.  (See Part II.)      

Is Europe Gone? Is America Next? Part II

Gaza, and America.  We still have people here who have a love of this country.  Count me among them.  Retired Four Star General Jack Keane is a frequent guest on Fox.  His knowledge of world affairs is incomparable.  On a recent episode of Fox, he mentioned having viewed some of the body camera film of Hamas terrorists from 10/7.  (Today being the 3 year anniversary of that terrible day.)  This 4 Star General described what he saw as "pure horror."  I don't know how else one might define the rape, torture and murder of men, women and children.  He said that he saw the joy and celebration of the Hamas fighters as they were killing Jews and committing their atrocities.  In the midst of it, one terrorist called his mother and said "I just killed 10 Jews - men, women and children."  His mother replied:  "Kill 10 more Jews."

With his contacts throughout the government, General Keane said that, according to the CIA, the people of Gaza are either Hamas fighters, or supporters of Hamas fighters.  (A word here.  There are insufficient words in the English language to describe the atrocities committed by Hamas.  But then we have much of the Western world, and even those in America, celebrating that evil.  And Americans have elected some of those people (Mamdani for example), and are poised to possibly elect more in November.  It's one thing to hate Trump.  I know many do.  But who are you punishing by electing America hating and Jew hating Leftists and Islamists.  Trump will be out in 2 years.  The Democrats are now dominated by Leftists and Islamists.  Is that who you want running the country?  America haters and Jew haters?)    

The U.K.  The Green Party passed a resolution equating Zionism with racism.  In other words, having a belief in the existence of a Jewish state is racist.  I doubt that they feel the same way about the many Muslim countries.  The Greens want to see a Palestinian state in place of Israel (exactly my point).  But they add that there should be "equal rights for all."  Is that a joke?  Just how seriously sick is that party?  The Palestinians are to make sure there should be equal rights for the Jews, a group that the Palestinians seek to annihilate?  This is insanity.  And it lacks all moral clarity.  That would be like putting Hitler in charge of the safety and security of the Jewish people of Germany.  

Canada, the U.K. and France.  All three decided to restrict or completely ban the import of goods produced or grown in the West Bank.  They join Norway, Denmark Ireland, Finland and Spain in this boycott.  (Note.  Right about now I am sorry that American soldiers gave their all to save the feckless Europeans from Nazi totalitarianism.  About 250,000 American soldiers died fighting to free Europe.  What a shame.)  

America.  Who is responsible for the events of 9/11?  Don't say it was Muslims.  At least not within the Fairfax, Virginia, City Schood District.  Because they put out a 6 page guide on the "25th Anniversary and Commemoration of 9/11."  Teachers are instructed:  "Don't associate the 9/11 attacks with Islam or Muslims."  And:  "don't center the extremists or the acts of the extremists," whatever that means.  Does it mean that good guys carried out 9/11?  While the first responders are mentioned 1 time, and the military is mentioned 3 times, there are 30 references to Islam, including:  "Muslim families," "Muslim students," "anti-Muslim racism," "anti - Middle Eastern," "Islamophobic rhetoric," and "Middle Eastern students."  

And this, my dear readers, is how history gets rewritten to serve a political agenda.  In this case, a leftwing agenda.  I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before students start blaming the Jews for 9/11, as many conspiracy theorists have already done.  After all, it is only natural for students to ask who committed those acts on 9/11.  Teachers are not allowed to say Muslims did it.  Because Muslims must be protected at all costs.  I recall that shortly after 9/11, the mainstream media acted as if Muslims were the victims and not the perpetrators.  (For those interested, the tiny number of Jews in this country are still the victims of religious hate crimes over 50% of the time.)

The U.K.  It is a story that occurred over many years.  In Rotherham.  Where Muslim men raped over a thousand girls.  In a detailed article by Mike Burke in the June, 2026 issue of Commentary magazine, Burke described the situation this way:  "For decades, authorities possessed irrefutable evidence of the repeated gang rape and forced prostitution.  The suffering of the victims was meticuously documented, discussed, and then systematically incinerated by the system meant to protect them.  They were overwhelmingly white, working class, and deemed expendable human collateral...Officials weighed the continued sexual exploitation of children against the scandal of being called racist, the disturbance of their self-serving fiction of community cohesion, and chose the atrocity."

That is how a society relinquishes its belief in truth and justice and replaces it with politically correct wokeness.  It turns out to be pretty easy to do.  Whether in the U.K. or Fairfax, Virginia.  Or in Michigan, where Muslim candidate for Senate Abdul El-Sayed now has the support of the Democratic Party.  So what if El-Sayed has said inappropriate things.  Such as saying Israel does not have the right to exist as a Jewish state.  So what if his buddy, Hasan Piker, who helped him win the Democratic nomination, openly admits that he hates America, and by his comments (cheering for Hamas) demonstrates a hatred for Jews and Israel.  As the election nears, El-Sayed refers to Piker as a "streamer in California," pretending that he has had nothing to do with him.  Pictures tell us otherwise.    

The point, my dear readers, is that is how easily a country gives up on itself and its values.  How easy it is to allow a takeover by Islamists, socialists, and communists - without a single shot being fired.  By the way, who is responsible for the most mass murder?  That would be communists, socialists and Islamists.

      

Is Europe Gone? Is America Next? Part I

(Note.  I was advised by a friend that this is not the cheeriest topic.  And he was wondering if I was again going to pick on our fellow Jews, as he is also Jewish.  That is not the intent of what will be a multi-part post.  Rather, the question at hand is whether or not Western Civilization, and the leaders of the Western world, have the wherewithal to defend the greatest civilization ever created.  Or, will they stand by and watch, and even assist, in the fall of the West.  Obviously, this topic could easily fill a book.  I will try to keep it to no more than three parts, maybe two.  And please excuse me if I jump around from country to country, and from Europe to America.  My purpose is to let you see just how far off the rails America has gone in joining Europe.)

Let's start with America.  Angie Nixon is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida.  She is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.  Her social media manager had been Sara Mahmoud.  Here are a few of Mahmoud's posts.  "Glory and honor to our freedom fighters (in Hamas).  Praying for their safety and success."  That was posted in November, 2018, after Hamas sent 400 rockets into Israel.  Israel vacated Gaza in 2005.  Since then Hamas has launched tens of thousands of rockets and missiles into Israel, usually aimed at civilian populations.  Mahmoud:  "Can Zionists die already?"  And:  "Wow, white Jews are so entitled lmfaoooo please die."  

And, like most Leftists who know no history but are filled with an abundance of hatred for Jews, she posted this:  "Palestine is the land of the Arab Palestinian people, from it they originate, to it they adhere and belong, and about it they reach out and communicate."  Palestine was first known as Judea and Samaria, Jewish land. Then it was Israel.  Not just modern Israel, but ancient Israel under Kings Saul, David and Solomon.  The Jewish people have thousands of years of history in that land.  

(A word here.  Israel, and support for Israel, and for the Jewish people, has been a turning point for the leftwing political parties here and in Europe.  A conscious decision has been made by many in the West.  Accept the Islamic takeover of their countries, and ignore the Jews.  Jewish people have integrated into the countries in which they have lived.  Radical Muslims have no intention of assimilating.  Because assimilation is not their goal - domination is.  All you have to do is look around the world to see the evidence for that.)  

Ireland.  Arguably the most antisemitic country in Europe.  Here was the Irish Prime Minister, Michael Martin:  Israel's response to October 7 was "absolutely disproportionate."  Years ago I discussed the idiocy of the "disproportionate" argument.  When the Germans were trying to level London, would he say the English response was "disproportionate?"  And, as I have shown, there was no genocide in Gaza.  Martin:  "we want humanitarian aid going into Gaza.  There's not enough humanitarian aid going in."  Such a moron.  Tons of aid have gone in.  And only Israel is expected to feed an enemy population that is making war on them.  But Israel does it.  Then Hamas steals much of the aid for their fighters.

The Netherlands.  This country imposed a nationwide ban on the "import, purchase and sale of goods produced in Israeli settlements," by which they mean the West Bank (Judea and Samaria), Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.  In other words, anything beyond the so-called 1967 borders.  Let's recall, again, that the 1967 borders were so sacrosanct, that in June, 1967, when Jordan controlled the West Bank and Jerusalem, and Syria controlled the Golan, the Arabs nevertheless attacked Israel within those 1967 borders, because they wanted to kill all the Jews.  They lost.  But even when they had the 1967 borders, they still wanted to kill the Jews.  

Here's a fun fact.  Anyone who violates the import prohibition faces fines and imprisonment.  Imprisonment!  An intentional violation can get you up to 6 years in prison.  An unintentional violation can get you up to a year!  The ban applies to any part of a product originating in the so-called settlements.  The likely effect will be that companies refuse to import any products from Israel, lest any part of it might originate in a prohibited area.  Because, somehow, it's Israel's fault that the Palestinians have turned down numerous offers of a state, preferring to continue their hundred years war against Israel and the Jews. That's right.  The Arabs were killing Jews in the 1920's in the British Mandate area before there was a state of Israel.  

The UK.  British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband called for a "reset" in relations with Israel.  And he too has called for a ban on importing goods from the West Bank.  I wonder how that would work out for them.  According to the NY Post, 1 out of 7 pills dispensed by the Brit's National Health Service comes from an Israeli company, Teva.  Not to mention the military technology Israel provides to the UK.  And, of course, the significant intelligence given to the Brits.  Israel should end all intelligence sharing and technology sharing with these cowards.  Yes, cowards.  Because many of these Western countries have become the land of the weak and the home of the cowards.  

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?
