Dissension on the Right, Conclusion

There were other conservatives who criticized Fuentes and Carlson and Roberts.  I am not going to repeat all their comments here.  Rather, I want to end this three part post with a few personal words.  I start my day with saying the "Modeh Ani" prayer.  It is a prayer that I say in Hebrew, although I do then repeat it in English.  Here is the prayer:  "I gratefully thank You, O living and eternal King, for You have returned my soul within me with compassion - abundant is your faithfulness."  Amen.    

I then say what is considered to be the most important prayer in Judaism, the "She'ma."  I say it twice a day, in the morning after the Modeh Ani, and at bedtime.  Here it is:  "Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our G-d, the Lord is one (or the only one)."  The second verse is as follows:  "Blessed is the Name of His glorious kingdom for all eternity."  Amen.  Yes, I say the She'ma in Hebrew, and then I repeat it in English.  Just my habit.  

Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove is the Rabbi at the Park Avenue Synagogue in New York City.  In terms of religious affiliation, it is considered to be a conservative shul (synagogue).  While there are some Jews supporting NYC mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani (honestly, I can't believe it), Rabbi Cosgrove eloquently stated where he stands:  "I believe Zohran Mamdani poses a danger to the security of the New York Jewish community."

He continued:  "Mamdani's refusal to condemn inciteful slogans like 'globalize the intifada,' his denial of Israel's legitimacy as a Jewish state, his call to arrest Israel's Prime Minister should he enter New York, and his thrice-repeated accusation of genocide in Thursday's debate - for these and so many other statements, past, present, and unrepentent - he is a danger to the Jewish body politic of New York."

And, hopefully this next paragraph of the Rabbi's clarifies things for my non-Jewish friends and readers:  "Zionism, Israel, Jewish self-determination - these are not political preferences or partisan talking points,  They are constituent building blocks and inseparable strands of my Jewish identity.  To accept me as a Jew, but to ask me to check my concern for the people and State of Israel at the door is as nonsensical a proposition as it is offensive - no different than asking me to reject G-d, Torah, mitzvot, or any other pillar of my faith."

My dear readers, our country is at a crossroads.  All of us individually are at a crossroads.  For us conservatives, do we stand against the likes of Carlson, Owens, Bannon and now, unfortunately, even the head of the Heritage Foundation, Roberts?  Roberts, who refused to criticize Carlson for not standing up to the hateful and antisemitic comments of Fuentes.  Or, do we let these individuals tear the conservative movement apart?  

For my fellow Jews, I want to give you a quote from one of my Chabad Rabbis, Rabbi Moshe Bryski:  "Never again is now.  Never again is not an easy oath to make.  It's not going to be simple - you're (not just) going to register your protest and sign a petition.  It would mean sacrifice.  It would mean courage.  It would mean standing up to the world.  It would mean not being intimidated by the world."  Are you up to the challenge?  

For conservative Jews, it means refusing to tolerate antisemitism and Jew hatred just because it comes from "our side."  It means being willing to condemn the likes of Fuentes, Carlson and the rest.  It means refusing to support them just because they are pro-Trump.  For liberal Jews, it is past time for you to condemn the likes of Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders - and not support them just because they are anti-Trump.

How we react, what we do and say, may well determine the future of this great country.

Dissension on the Right, Part II

Watching Carlson's interview with Fuentes, I thought that Fuentes came across as relatively controlled in his demeanor.  Not so, in separate videos I watched.  In a video shared with "Iron Dissent," we are told by the narrator (I've heard this before) that today's Jews are not the Jews of the Bible.  No?  We have the same Hebrew language.  We have the same Torah.  We have the same tefillin.  We have Shabbat.  We have the laws of Kosher.  True, we no longer have the Temple in Jerusalem, and therefore some of the ancient commandments cannot be done.  But none of that can explain the hatred directed at the Jews.  

Fuentes allegedly called conservative Jews such as Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Josh Hammer and Laura Loomer "despicable pieces of shit."  I say allegedly because some places say yes, others say no evidence.  He also is to have said that none of them will ever be American, and they should "get the fuck out of America and go back to Israel."  Notwithstanding they are not from Israel.  

I did see a clip showing Fuentes declaring that Jews are unlikeable people.  Fuentes:  "We don't care about your bitching, your whining, your squealing about antisemitism.  Nobody's listening anymore.  Nobody cares."  And this:  "You don't care about this country.  You don't respect this place.  You don't respect our ancestors.  You don't even worship our G-d."

Let's see.  Just in my family, my brother served this country in Vietnam, and was a Purple Heart recipient.  My uncle served in WWII, and was a POW.  My wifes's Dad served in WWII.  And a dear friend's Dad (also Jewish) was a Lt. Col. in the AF Reserves.  Countless Jews have served this country.  Jews don't respect this place?  Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro have frequently spoken of the greatness of America.  This blog has done the same.  Jews don't respect the country's ancestors?  Is this for real?

Levin knows far more than Fuentes does about the Founders, the Constitution and the Federalist papers.  Here was our second President, John Adams:  "The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation."  Here was George Washington, in a letter to the Jews of the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, the oldest synagogue in America:  "...the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support."  And this:  "May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants..."  Jewish people settled in Newport as early as 1658.  

Our Founders would not have thought very much of people telling the Jews to "get the fuck out."  Fuentes said:  "You don't even worship our G-d."  Who does not know anything about our Founders?  I would suggest Fuentes read the First Amendment to the Constitution:  "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."  I would also remind Fuentes that it was the Jewish people who brought to the world the belief that there is but one G-d - a belief in monotheism - and not all the false idols worshipped by many ancient peoples.

Then I heard Fuentes assert that "the Jews pushed us to this point."  Right.  Sort of like "I didn't want to beat my wife to a pulp - she made me do it."  Yes, the Jews pushed him, how?  "For opposing genocide?  (This is a lie.)  For not putting America first?  (Another lie.)  Because they are preoccupied with Israel? (You bet we are since the 10/7/23 terrorist attacks and subsequent two year war)."   

I don't see Fuentes as being any different from the Jew haters of the 1930's and 1940's.  We had the America First Committee back then.  Charles Lindbergh.  Father Edward Coughlin.  The various isolationists.  Even the German American Bund.  But the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor kind of burst the bubble of the isolationists.  

So here are a couple of questions for Fuentes and Carlson and their ilk.  Clearly, you do not agree with the Democrats on anything.  Yet, you are saying the Jews should get out of America.  Why not the Democrats?  Clearly, there are shared Judeo-Christian values.  Yet, you are saying the Jews should get out of America.  Why not the Muslims?  They do not share the Judeo-Christian values.  I think the answer to these questions is rather straightforward - you are simply old-fashioned antisemitic Jew-haters.  Nothing new there.    

Dissension on the Right, Part I

(Note.  Readers will recall that I have previously criticized Tucker Carlson in 2 posts.  On 12/31/23, I posted "My Beef With Tucker Carlson."  In that post, not long after the terrorist attack in Israel on 10/7/23, I discussed the lies Carlson told about Ben Shapiro not caring about America.  Then, on 9/23/24, I wrote "Let's Talk Turkey - I Need To Talk About Some People, Part I."  There, I criticized Carlson for hosting Darryl Cooper, a "historian," who blamed Churchill - not Hitler - for WWII.  And the Holocaust?  According to this "historian" millions of people just ended up dead.  Gee, I wonder why.)

Now, on 10/27/25, Carlson hosted Nick Fuentes for a full 2 hours on his podcast.  I watched much of it.  To say that Fuentes is an antisemite would, in my opinion, be a serious understatement.  Why Carlson went from conservatism to right-wing lunacy, I do not know.  Why would he give air time to people like Cooper and Fuentes?  Again, I do not know.  But Carlson's latest interview of Fuentes (if it can be called an interview, given that there was virtually no pushback by Carlson on any of the outrageous comments Fuentes has made) turned into a more public fight among conservatives.  

After Carlson was the target, rightfully, of criticism for hosting Fuentes, the President of the conservative Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, came to Carlson's defense.  Roberts said he would not distance himself from Carlson, and that "Christians can critique the state of Israel without being antisemitic."  Certainly true, as Jews do it all the time.  But Fuentes, and Carlson, have gone far beyond any reasonable critique of Israel.  Roberts also said:  "We will always defend our friends against the slanders of bad actors who serve someone else's agenda."  Someone else?  Is Roberts referring to the Jews?  Israel?  What is going on here?  Why is there this fixation on the Jews?

Roberts subsequently condemned Fuentes:  "Fuentes knows exactly what he is doing.  He is fomenting Jew hatred, and his incitements are not only immoral and un-Christian, they risk violence."  Perhaps Roberts saw that people like Fuentes might tear the conservative movement apart.  A shame that he does not see that with regards to Carlson, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon and others, as he refused to condemn Carlson for hosting this white supremacist Jew-hater for two full hours on his podcast.  

But not everyone at Heritage agrees with Roberts.  Unfortunately, this dissenter asked to remain anonymous, but made this comment:  "Nick Fuentes is a disgusting, anti-American, antisemitic loser.  He is not a conservative, not America first, and not an ally of President Trump or any conservative organization.  (Yes, I know that Trump unfortunately shared a meal with Fuentes and Kanye West.  Shame on him for doing that.)  In his own words, Nick Fuentes is an ally of Stalin, Hitler, and the Taliban.  That is not someone with ideas worthy of debate."  And that, dear readers, is what Kevin Roberts should have said.   

Here was Senator Ted Cruz (R- Tx):  "Now is the time for choosing.  If you sit there with someone who says Adolf Hitler was very cool and that their mission is to defeat 'global Jewry' and you say nothing, then you are a coward, and you are complicit in that evil."  Carlson, in turn, said that he opposes Christian Zionists; and said that Cruz and US Ambassador Mike Huckabee have a "brain virus" and are guilty of "Christian heresy."  

A brain virus?  For supporting Israel?  Here was a whopper said by Carlson:  "It's great to criticize and question, like our relationship with Israel, because it's insane, and it hurts us, and we get nothing out of it."  Nothing out of it?  The Mossad has often proven to be invaluable to the US military with their intelligence sharing.  Nor do I doubt that Israel provides our leaders with intelligence on possible terrorist attacks.  The US worked with Israel to develop the sophisticated missile defense systems of Iron Dome, David's Sling and Arrow.  Israel buys US made airplanes and weaponry, helping our defense industry.  Israel then uses those weapons, having to always fight wars, and is able to make improvements based on actual battlefield experiences - all to the benefit of the US.  

It should be too obvious to have to state that Israel shares the same Western, democratic values with the US.  And, Israel is on the front lines fighting against terrorist groups and regimes that are also enemies of the United States.  Israel's counter-terrorism techniques are no doubt shared with the US.  Israel is well-known for its sophistication in the field of high tech.  Intel, Dell, Google, Cisco, IBM, Motorola and others all have R&D centers in Israel.

No Kings? When Will The Democrats Wake Up?

I'm always amazed at how Democrats/Leftists will concern themselves over trivia.  Trump said a bad word.  Trump insulted someone.  The horrors.  Meanwhile, he succeeded in bringing home the living hostages.  Thank G-d for Trump.  He may have succeeded in remaking the entire Middle East, even though Hamas is determined to not let that happen.  It is clear that Hamas will not agree to all of the terms of Trump's peace plan.  But if the Saudis, and others, are tiring of them enough, then maybe Trump will get them to join the Abraham Accords.  

So, while some of my friends and family, and Democrats in general, want to believe that Trump is a threat to the country, they ignore the real threats.  It's not just the drug traffickers and human traffickers that Biden let into our country.  How many terrorists got in?  How many Chinese and Russian sleeper agents got in?  Biden never seemed to care about that, as he even allowed that Chinese spy balloon to fly across the entire country.  Biden did not fulfill his obligation to protect the American people.  To care about our national security.     

But is there an even bigger threat?  I believe so.  Whether you call it radical Islam, Islamism, political Islam, whatever.  It is fundamentally opposed to the American way of life, and to our Constitution.  People like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are very well versed in using American ideals against us, while demonstrating their lack of belief in those very same ideals.  They know how to play to our emotions.  Oh, the poor Palestinians.  The oppressors in the U.S. and Israel.  They share the same textbook as the Democrats/Leftists.  

Now we have a radical Muslim about to become the mayor of our largest city.  Does this frighten anyone else?  Does it frighten any Democrat?  Or, have you fallen for the threat of being accused of being "islamophobic?"  What is islamophobia?  It's a made up term, created to compete with antisemitism and racism and sexism.  

As for Mamdani's policies, see Part I of "No Kings," as well as my 2 part post of  July 4, 2025, and the follow up post of July 27, 2025.  But is that it?  A few elected Muslim officials?  There are actually 4 Muslim members of the House.  As of 2023, CAIR reported a total of 235 elected officials in the U.S. who are Muslim.  Doesn't sound like many in a country of 330 million people?  Maybe.  But their influence is growing beyond their numbers.

And what about Dearborn, Michigan?  The mayor and city council members are all Muslims.  When a Christian resident complained about a street sign honoring someone with alleged terrorist ties, Dearborn's Muslim Mayor told this Christian he was "not welcome" in Dearborn.  The Mayor called the man a "bigot" and a "racist," and, of course, an "islamophobe."  Then the mayor added this:  "The day you move out of the city will be the day I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of this city."  Because a Muslim Mayor gets to speak to non-Musims like that.  Is that what you want?  If so, keep voting Democrat.  

I'll say it yet again.  NO - I do not believe that all Muslims are anti-American.  I do not believe that all Muslims support radical jihad.  But what about the ones who do?  What about the likes of Tlaib and Mamdani who are unwilling to condemn a terrorist organization that has killed Americans; and are unwilling to say that Israel has a right to exist as the Jewish state?  What about that?

No Kings? Just More Of The Same - Part II

I get it.  Trump is a King.  He's a fascist.  He's Hitler.  The Left/Democrats are quite good at this.  Choosing a word or phrase and convincing people that it seems to make sense.  But it makes no sense.  When Trump lost in 2020, he vacated the White House.  What kind of King does that?  Trump was duly elected twice.  Kings are not.  But Trump is always violating the Constitution, right?

I've got a few questions.  About Joe Biden.  Remember how he said he would not pardon his son, Hunter?  And how he and Speaker Pelosi frequently said:  "no one is above the law."  Hunter was convicted of gun charges and pled guilty to tax evasion.  What did Biden do?  Let Hunter be punished because no one is above the law?  No, he pardoned Hunter.  Like a King would do for his son.

Remember how Biden, as VP, took classified documents to his home, and kept them there?  Special Counsel Robert Hur said Biden "willfully retained" those classified documents.  But a VP has no power to declassify.  Was the King prosecuted?  No.  Hur said he was just a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."  Right.

Remember how the Constitution (Article II Section 3) says the President has the responsibility to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed?"  But clearly that provision did not apply to King Biden, as he opened the doors to 10 million illegal aliens.  Meanwhile, our Department of Homeland Security reports that, since June, ICE and Border Patrol agents have arrested 5000 people in Los Angeles - including murderers, rapists, gang members and other bad guys.  But the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, which also not believe in enforcing the law, has declared a state of emergency because of ICE actions in LA County.  A democracy?  That willfully ignores federal immigration law?

Remember King Biden's loan forgiveness?  Let's be honest.  The Democrats like to buy votes.  Forgive student debt.  Open the borders to what they hope will be millions of future Democratic voters.  Anyway, in 2023, the Supreme Court told Biden that his plan was a no-no.  The President has no such power.  Ah, but a King does.  So Biden continued with his loan forgiveness through a work-around.  Until a Court of Appeal again slapped it down.  

We've all heard about how terrible a person Trump is.  He's a perv.  A creep.  Remember how Biden time after time would inappropriately touch women and girls, stroke their hair, and sniff them?  Creepy, right?  No.  A King has the right to have access to his subjects as he pleases.

Remember when Obama was President?  (I have to include a few comments about King Obama.)  Remember when he said if Congress would not do what he wanted, then he had a pen and a phone and he would take care of it?  Because that's what a King does.  Remember the IRS, under Obama, targeted conservative groups regarding their applications for 501(c)(3) status?  Tea Party groups were particularly targeted.  But a King can do that, right?

Remember (this is one of my "favorites") how Obama had the Justice Department target the media?  Generally, in a democracy, that's a big no-no.  But under a King?  Of course a monarch has that privilege.  That's why the DOJ seized records of the Associated Press (20 phone lines).  James Rosen at Fox, had his emails and phone records searched.  You all remember how the Obama Administration prosecuted more government employees for leaking classified information, than all prior presidential administrations combined?  Lucky for them that King Obama did not say "off with their heads."  Which Kings have done.  

And, of course, we all remember how Obama, and many in his Administration, went on the Sunday talk shows to tell the country that people should not pay attention to Fox News, because Fox was not a legitimate news organization?  And that Fox was "destructive" to the U.S.  True, Fox did not care very much for Obama's policies.  But I guess Obama set the example of attacking those in the press who would bot bend to the King's will.  

To conclude, don't we all remember how millions protested in the streets when Obama and Biden exceeded their powers, ignored Supreme Court orders, and acted as Kings?  No?  That's because it did not happen.  That's because all these demonstrations (from 1/21/17 through yesterday) against Trump, are nothing more than the nearly 9 year effort by Democrats/the Left to weaken Trump and even get him removed from office.  But we all know how the Democrats love their own Kings.

 

No Kings? Just More Of The Same - Part I

Yes, I saw that millions of Americans were out protesting across the country yesterday.  Protesting what?  Oh, various things.  But really, these anti-Trump mass protests started the day after his first inauguration, as I'm sure most readers recall the women's march of January 21, 2017.  So who is doing the protesting?  The temptation is to say (aside from the paid protesters) that these protesters are the usual leftist groups that make up much of today's Democratic Party.  But actually - those groups are indistinguishable from the Democratic Party.  What do I mean by that?  Let's look at one example.

As we know, Zohran Mamdani appears headed for victory in next months's NYC mayoral race.  Is Mamdani extreme?  You bet he is.  First, he is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).  Next, we know that he founded his college's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).  SJP did call Hamas's terrorist attack on civilians in Israel a "historic win for the Palestinian resistance."  Mamdani has refused to outright condemn Hamas for that attack.  (His slight backtracking weeks before the election is clearly for public consumption only, and not a true reflection of where he stands.)  Hamas is a designated terrorist organization.  Hamas has killed Americans and taken Americans hostage.  

Mamdani has refused to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada."  The two intifadas in Israel resulted in the murder of thousands of innocent Israelis by Hamas and Islamic Jihad.  On Friday, Mamdani visited the mosque in Bedford-Stuyvesant, whose imam was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, which killed six people.  Not to mention Mamdani's friendship with Hasan Piker, who declared that "America deserved 9/11."  

Given all of the above, surely no respectable Democrat would dare to support Mamdani, right?  Wrong.  Who does support Mamdani?  Barack Obama.  Bill Clinton.  NY Governor Kathy Hochul.  Former VP Kamala Harris (and to think she might have been president).  NY Attorney General Leticia James.  Congress members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pramila Jayapal and Jerry Nadler, to name a few.  Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernard Sanders.  And, the Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Ken Martin.

So what is the difference between the Democratic Party and the socialists/leftists?  None!  No difference whatsoever.  How could anyone argue otherwise when so many "mainstream" Democrats support an avowed socialist, Israel-hating and Jew-hating person to lead the largest city in America - the city with the most Jewish Americans no less.  Need more examples?  Many thought Harris did not pick Josh Shapiro (the very popular Governor of Pennsylvania) as her VP running mate because he's Jewish and supports Israel.  Can't have any of that in the Democratic Party anymore.  And what about Pennsylvania's Senator, John Fetterman.  According to one source, he votes with his party 95% of the time.  But Axios reports that others in his party may seek to oust him in the primary.  Why?  He opposes communism and supports Israel.

Many (including friends and family members) seem to be either blissfully unaware, or simply indifferent, to the efforts being made across the country to oust whatever "traditional" democrats that may still hold elected office, and replace them with adherents to the DSA.  DSA - socialist and anti-Israel.  Are those democrats whom I personally know, aware that they have, like it or not, consciously or unconsciously, accepted that their party is an extreme left-wing party?  

I have repeatedly suggested to people that they might want to read some of JFK's speeches, in order to hear the words of a traditional, classical, liberal democrat.  I wrote a post on July 17, 2016, in order to remind people what classical liberalism was all about.  I have explained that classical liberalism has far more in common with conservatism than with leftism.  Again, just read JFK's speeches.  Leftism is the outlier.  Or, I should say that leftism was the outlier.  Now, it is an integral part of today's Democratic Party.   

By the way, it has been reported that Hamas has been summarily executing other Palestinians.  Supposedly because they collaborated with Israel.  Were there any trials first?  I saw no evidence of that.  But a Hamas leader claimed that "exceptional measures" were needed.  Because there was no time for a trial?  Where are all the keffiyeh-wearing Israel-hating protesters now?  Why aren't they protesting against Hamas?  Not a single one of those anti-Israel protesters can be seen now.  You know, the SJP, or Queers for Palestine, or the many others.  Aren't these the groups that say they are for democracy?  Against Kings?  Well, a democracy does not allow for summary executions of its own people.  But Kings have historically done that.

This Post Is About Me...And You...And Everyone Who Cares About Maintaining the Judeo-Christian Basis For Western Civilization

(Note.  In some ways this is a follow-up to my 7/4/25 post "I'm Sick Of It!  Really Sick Of It!"  It is also a follow-up to my 6 part post "Are We At War With Islam?"  The first 2 parts were written in 2010, Part III in 2012, Part IV in 2013, and Parts V and VI were written in 2016.)   

In only two days, two years will have passed since the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023.  I'd like to say a few words about my reaction at the time.  I have never been to Israel.  (Lifelong orthopedic problems made long distance travel too difficult.)  I have no family, no relatives, as those terms are commonly understood, in Israel.  But when I heard about the rape, torture, murder and kidanpping of so many Israelis, I could not help but feeling extremely angry and sad all at once.  Because the Jewish people are my family.  And because these types of attacks on Jewish people, just for being Jews, have occurred far too often - throughout history, and in my lifetime.  

Yes, my family was under attack.  How else could I explain my inability to sleep for two weeks after 10/7.  How else to explain that for two weeks I would get up in the middle of the night at 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. in order to turn on the TV and watch the news for one to two hours in order to see the latest developments out of Israel.  Since October 7, 2023, there have been countless attacks on Jewish people and institutions around the world, as much of the world has blamed Israel for having the audacity to fight back against the evil terrorists of Hamas.  At no time did I ask myself if those wounded or killed were liberals or conservatives.  It did not matter.  People were being killed because they were Jews.  Hitler (who should rot in hell forever) wanted all the Jews dead, just because they were Jews.  The Nazis never asked - do you support the Fuhrer's National Socialist Party?  No.  It was - you're a Jew - die!  Does anyone really need a reminder of 1930's Germany?

Readers of this blog know that there have been plenty of times that I have expressed my disappointment and even anger at some of my fellow Jews.  Jews who not only refuse to support Israel in this fight for the country's survival, but who condemn Israel for fighting back, and who advocate cutting off military aid to Israel in the middle of this war.  Jews who have replaced a belief in Judaism with a belief in leftism.  Nevertheless, I stand with my Chabad Rabbis, who have told countless stories of Jews finding their way back to their religion, and back to their support for Israel.  After October 7, I have read quite a few stories about this return to Judaism and support for Israel.  About leftwing Jews discovering their "friends" did not care at all about the slaughter of Jews.  It was quite a wake-up call for many.    

And just three days ago, on Yom Kippur (October 2), the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year for the Jewish people, another terrorist attacked Jewish people, this time outside their synagogue in Manchester, England.  He drove his car into people out front of the synagogue and then got out of his car and stabbed people.  Ramming people with motor vehicles and stabbing them, are favored methods of attacks by Palestinian terrorists.  This particular individual managed to kill two people and wound others.  The deceased were Adrian Daulby, age 53, and Melvin Cravitz, age 66.  And while readers know that I never state the names of the evil perpetrators, in this case I'm making an exception.  For his first name only - Jihad.  That pretty much sums up all we need to know about this Syrian living in the U.K.  

Of course, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the "horrific" attack on Jews on Yom Kippur.  But his words mean nothing.  He had previously accused Israel of causing an "unspeakable and indefensible" catastrophe in Gaza.  London's Muslim Mayor accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.  And just last month, Starmer saw fit to recognize a "Palestinian" state.  No action was required in exchange by any "Palestinian" leaders.  So the message was clear to the Arab Muslim world - kill Jews and we will reward you.  

In an Op-Ed in Friday's Wall Street Journal, Dominic Green wrote:  "The blood of British Jews is in Labour's hands - and the fate of Britain is in the balance."  P.M. Starmer is the head of the Labour Party.  There are 300,000 Jews in the U.K, but approximately 4,000,000 Muslims.  Because the European countries opened their borders to so-called "refugees" from across the Middle East.  In his address to the U.N. General Asembly last month, President Trump told the Europeans:  "It's (unrestrained migration) destroying your country(s), and you have to do something about it."  Just yesterday, millions of people across Europe were out in the streets in support of Hamas.  

And who are the Muslim leaders in the U.S?  Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.  And perhaps the soon to be Mayor of N.Y.C., Zohran Mamdani.  Mamdani refuses to criticize the phrase "globalize the intifada."  Want to see what globalizing the intifada looks like?  We just saw it three days ago in Manchester, England.  What about Tlaib, who constantly accuses Israel of "genocide."  She is no different from Hamas - she'd rather keep the fighting going.  She opposes Trump's peace plan for the Hamas-Israel war, saying:  "Trump and War Criminal Netanyahu, perpetrators of the genocide, do not get to decide the future of Gaza.  Palestinians get to determine the future of Palestine."  

Oh really?  When was the last time there was an election in Gaza?  That would be 2006.  But Tlaib, like the terrorists, would like to keep the fighting going, because they don't actually give a damn about innocent civilians.  And just how many are "innocent" we don't know.  Because multiple polls have shown overwhelming support for Hamas within Gaza.   

I'll end with this quote from Josh Hammer's 9/28/25 Op-Ed in the Los Angeles Times:  "Four of America's nominally closest allies - Britain, Australia, France and Canada - disgraced themselves this week by recognizing a so-called Palestinian state.  In doing so, these nations didn't merely betray their Western civilization inheritance.  They also rewarded terrorism, strengthened the genocidal ambitions of the global jihad and sent a chilling message:  The path to international legitimacy runs not through the difficult work of building up a nation-state and engaging in diplomacy, but through mass murder, the weaponization of transnational institutions and the erasure of historical truth."
