Gavin the Terrible May Get His Wish   CHERIE ZASLAWSKY

As O’Biden limps to his finish, the Desperate Dems may draft Gov. Gruesome

NOV 17, 2023 – According to Wayne Allyn Root, the Dems will either run Newsom, Big Mike, or both. It’s something of a head-scratcher to try to figure out which would be worse, but I’d say Michelle, because then Obama would once again have his feet up in the Offal Office, rather than merely coaching Sleepy Joe behind the scenes.

Not that Gavin would be much better. In fact, Biden, Barry, Michelle, Newsom—all play for the same team: the CCP and/or the One World Government Globalist Elites—which is why Trump’s America-first stance is the perfect antidote.

And also why the Dems will do anything to keep Donald out of the White House.

Read on for Governor Noisome Newsom’s track record in the once golden state of California.

Daniel Greenfield Video: It’s Not About Israel, It’s About Islam  [7:40]   BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

Nov 16, 2023 – Only when we see the bigger pattern do we have any hope of winning.

The Hamas attacks are not simply about Israel. Just as the Jihad in Kashmir is not just about India. And 9/11 was not just about America. What we are experiencing is not a series of local events, responses to specific conflicts, but the continuation of an Islamic Jihad against civilization that’s been going on for over a thousand years.

Until we recognize that, we will be stuck having to justify our existence and constantly defend against Islamic claims that we are the oppressors and that the conflict is particular rather than general, while we are divided and conquered. Only when we see the bigger pattern, do we have any hope of winning.

 

Biden Regime Pushing Coup in Israel   BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

“The US has begun to ask about the possibility of a more moderate government being shuffled in”

NOV 16, 2023 11:00 AM – The thinking is that if the Palestinian Authority takes over Gaza, it can force negotiations on a Two-State Solution and finally bring peace by empowering terrorists. A policy that has brought nothing but terror for 30 years.The Biden administration keeps talking about the urgent need for Israel to have a post-war plan for Gaza. What that really means is that it wants the PLO to take over Gaza. Netanyahu has opposed that for now. The Palestinian Authority is run by Fatah, the body behind the PLO, and is just another Islamic terrorist group. And parts of it claimed to have taken part in the Oct 7 massacres. But none of that is stopping the Biden administration from its obsession.

And now that Israel’s government is in the way, it’s time to get it out of the way.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of the Palestinian Authority returning to the Gaza Strip is undermining US efforts to rally like-minded Arab countries around a strategy for stabilizing the coastal enclave after the Israel-Hamas war, an administration official and two senior Arab diplomats told The Times of Israel.

Netanyahu’s refusal to address who will govern Gaza if Israel succeeds in toppling Hamas, along with the premier’s mixed messaging regarding whether the Israeli military will re-occupy the Strip, have pushed away Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

The Biden administration believes the backing of those countries will be needed to help rehabilitate and manage the Strip for an interim period after the war, the three officials explained.

This is nonsense.

 

Video: Robert Spencer on Islam and the War on Israel  [42:41]   BY ROBERT SPENCER

NOV 16, 2023 6:00 PM – “The whole core of Islam is terror – it’s not a bug, it’s a feature.”

Above is the video of remarks given by Robert Spencer, director of the Freedom Center’s Jihad Watch and bestselling author of 27 books, at the Center’s 2023 annual Restoration Weekend, held Oct. 26-29 at the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans.

Robert addressed the religious/ideological underpinnings of the war being waged by Hamas on Israel.

A nation of patsies   TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS

NOV 15, 2023 – DYLAN ALLMAN: 60 years ago, the CIA murdered the sitting President of the United States in broad daylight. The media was in on it the whole time. And I am going to prove it to you here once and for all.

On November 22, 1963, not only did President John F. Kennedy die, but so did our free press … and as we have seen and continue to experience, so did our hopes for world peace. Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefitted? Who had the power to cover it up? Let’s start from the beginning.

What are the origins of the CIA? What was its purpose? Well, in 1947, the US had no enemies to speak of after WWII. There was no reason to create such a monstrous new agency unless the major objective was to create machinery to be able to control foreign policy in the United States. The legislation creating it was not drawn up by an intelligence man; it was drawn up by a Wall Street man, James Forrestal. In 1949, Forrestal was Truman’s Secretary of Defense.

Piers Morgan vs Douglas Murray Under Fire At Israel-Gaza Border  [30:41]

1,009,505 views  Nov 8, 2023  #douglasmurray #piersmorgan #piersmorganuncensored

Watch Piers Morgan’s explosive interview with author and journalist Douglas Murray on the Israel-Gaza border.

Douglas Murray says evidence of Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel can be seen “everywhere”, while telling Piers that sounds in the background are artillery shells which are Israel’s “answer” to Hamas.

When debating whether pro-Palestine marches can take place on Armistice Day in London, Mr Murray says the rules on not allowing the glorification of terrorism are “very clear”, telling Piers Morgan: “If you stand on the streets of London calling for jihad, you are calling for terror, that is a place where free speech is at its limit.”

 

Hamas War Against Israel Must be Seen as a War Against the West   By Alex Grobman PhD.

3 Kislev 5784 – November 16, 2023 – The Hamas/ Israel war should be seen as a war not only against Israel, but also against the West. Both represent what they loathe —a democratic society where freedom of expression, religion, the rule of law, independence, women’s rights, and human dignity are fundamental to life in Israel and the West.

What the West has yet to internalize is though jihad starts with Israel, the West is their next target. How do we know? In the “Introduction to “The Charter of Allah:

The Platform of Hamas” it states “We say to this West, which does not act reasonably, and does not learn its lessons: By Allah, you will be defeated. You will be defeated in Palestine, and your defeat there has already begun. True, it is Israel that is being defeated there, but when Israel is defeated, its path is defeated, those who call to support it are defeated, and the cowards who hide behind it and support it are defeated. Israel will be defeated, and so will whoever supported or supports it.”

Historian Efraim Karsh explained this goal of universal world domination can be realized through demographic growth and conversion of the local population. Large numbers of teachers and religious leaders will be mobilized to teach Islam in every language and dialect. Should peaceful methods prove inadequate, physical force can be used. Members in the US Congress are already diligently laying the groundwork. When will we begin to connect the dots?

‘Friends turned their backs on me this month,’ Jewish actor Brett Gelman says   DAVID SWINDLE

November 15, 2023 – He and fellow Jewish actor Michael Rapaport spoke at the “March for Israel” rally in Washington, D.C., in what organizers call the largest U.S. pro-Israel gathering in history.

Brett Gelman, known for his role in the Netflix show “Stranger Things,” was one of the first speakers to address an estimated 290,000 attendees of the “March for Israel” rally on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 14, in what organizers call the largest U.S. pro-Israel gathering in history.

The Jewish actor and comedian has been outspoken in support of Israel on social media, which has led many of his friends to turn their backs on him this month, he told the crowd. “I feel betrayed in a way I never thought possible,” he said. “Most hours of the day, the loneliness is unbearable.”

Those “so-called friends” however “were never really our friends. They were never really there for us,” he said. “They never really saw us for how we deserved to be seen—as beautiful, as special, as excellent.”

Tucker Talks to Candace Owens    [39:34]   SASHA STONE

Another One I REALLY didn’t want to post

NOV 15, 2023 – I used to watch the Left attack Candace Owens, and I always felt defensive of her. I thought they had a double standard when it came to accusations of racism against black people only when they agreed. But Candace Owens, Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Michael Tracey, and Darryl Cooper (Martyr Made) REALLY like standing in the line of fire as contrarians.

All of these people are great when it comes to attacking the Left and exposing their hypocrisy. They’re great regarding being fearless online and speaking truth to power. Tucker is the best of them.

However, when it came to the attacks on October 7th, something in me shifted ever so slightly. I wouldn’t call myself a pro-Israel person, and I certainly do not want American troops there or anywhere else. I agree with their anti-war stances.

But.

When it comes to raping women, dragging them through the streets – cutting the babies out of pregnant women and laughing about it – putting babies in ovens – I think there is a difference between killing civilians in war and intentionally torturing, mutilating them and laughing about it on social media. I do.

[Ed.:  In this interview, they touch on many of our current issues including mentioning that NiKKKi Haley is campaigning for President, and proposing that we should register with the government before we can speak on social media.  What part of our 1st Amendment does she not understand?]

 

We the Exploited: The U.S. Government Buys and Sells Its Citizens for Profit and Power    By John & Nisha Whitehead

November 15, 2023 – Americans have become easy prey for hackers, scammers, snitches, spies, and con artists.

But don’t be fooled into thinking the government is protecting you.

To the contrary, the U.S. government is selling us (or rather, our data) to the highest bidders.

By the way, those highest bidders also include America’s political class and the politicians aspiring to get elected or re-elected. As the Los Angeles Times reports, “If you have been to a political rally, a town hall, or just fit a demographic a campaign is after, chances are good your movements are being tracked with unnerving accuracy by data vendors on the payroll of campaigns.”

Your phones, televisions and digital devices are selling you out to politicians who want your vote.

 

How The United States And Its NATO Allies Sabotaged Peace Between Russia And Ukraine   By Larry Johnson

Nov. 15, 2023 7:00 am – We now know that the United States played the primary role in sabotaging the March 29, 2022 tentative peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine thanks to the recently published article by Hajo Funke and Harald Kujat, HOW THE CHANCE WAS LOST FOR A PEACE SETTLEMENT OF THE UKRAINE WAR — AND THE WEST WANTED TO CONTINUE THE WAR INSTEAD. The United States persuaded its NATO allies that pursuing the war against Russia, using Ukraine as a proxy, offered a legitimate opportunity to destroy Russia. You want a definition of evil? This is it. Instead of helping end the war between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and its NATO puppets condemned hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers to death in a war with Russia they could not win.

In the course of strong arming Ukraine’s Zelensky into rejecting the peace agreement, the West prepared and launched a propaganda campaign that claimed that Ukrainian military forces defeated the Russian forces and compelled them to retreat. It was a lie. As you will read in the timeline below, Putin ordered the withdrawal of Russian forces starting on April 1, 2022 as a good faith gesture about Russia’s seriousness in complying with the 29 March Istanbul Agreement.

Chalk this up as one more massive war crime by the United States and NATO. They are accessories to murder. I have summarized the timeline presented in the Funke/Kujat article if you do not have time to read it in its entirety. I also am republishing their piece for your convenience. All of the death and destruction experienced in Ukraine and Russia could have been avoided. But the West was intent on dethroning Putin and carving up Russia. Once you understand this point I think you will appreciate that Putin and his Generals are no longer of a mind to give the West the benefit of the doubt. Destroying NATO’s designs on Ukraine is now their chief aim in my view.

 

The British and Israel: A Mixed History   By Alex Grobman PhD.

2 Kislev 5784 – November 15, 2023 – “It is shocking how many people are just waking up to the Islamic takeover of the West! (It seems many of you were too busy calling us “Islamophobes” over the past decade),” declared Amy Mek, an investigative journalist. She said that “In London this weekend armies of Muslims have once again taken to the streets to show their support for the Muslims who slaughtered Israelis and are hunting Jews…Without firing a shot, British cities and boroughs have been conquered! Their future is an Islamic one….”

According to The Telegraph, the Met Police said 300,000 demonstrators participated in the march from Marble Arch to Nine Elms demanding an end to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. Whether the British have the resolve to confront their growing Muslim problem might well determine the future of the country.

Contrast this frenzied hatred with support by Gentile Christians of England for a national Jewish home for the Jewish people when Jews needed their help the most.

The Importance of the Balfour Declaration for the Jewish People

On November 2, 2017 British Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur James Balfour sent a letter to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, which read: “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”

 

If Trump had been President October 7 2023   Diane Bederman

Nov 14, 2023 – If Trump had been President of the USA on October 7, 2023, there would never have been the October 7 Massacre of 1200 Jews in Israel, and the taking of more than 220 hostages: Israelis and from many other countries. And there would be no talk today about a possible Middle East war or God forbid WWIII. Then again, the elites across America love war. Trump didn’t.

The blood of the Jews is on the hands of Joe Biden and the Jew-hating Democrat Party.

If Trump had been President, Iran would have been a mere shell of itself. A country living in poverty where the women freedom fighters would have encouraged the men to fight back and get rid of the evil Khamenei. Iran would have been poor because Trump placed sanctions on her and stopped the sale of oil; the source of billions of dollars in income; particularly to China. China is principally responsible for keeping the Iranian regime in business through oil purchases that have totaled more than $80 billion since President Biden assumed office in January 2021 to September 2023. Iran exported nearly 1.4 million barrels of oil per day in October, sustaining its average for 2023. This is up 80% from the 775,000 barrels per day Iran averaged under the Trump Administration’s “maximum pressure” strategy, according to United Against Nuclear Iran, the group of former U.S. Ambassador Mark Wallace and Sen. Joe Lieberman, whose Tanker Tracker generates the best public data we have.

Iran would have been on her knees with Trump as President. There would never have been money to buy armaments for Hamas or Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. And now the Biden administration is considering a sanctions waiver on Iran that would free up 10 billion dollars.

“Why should Iran have any access to more than $10 billion after sponsoring one of the worst terrorist attacks against American citizens and the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust? It would make more sense to freeze all of these accounts and keep every penny out of Tehran’s hands.”

Makes me wonder what Obama has on Biden.

[Ed.:  But, but, Trump was the President.  We elected him in 2020.  Everybody knows that!  Trump know that.  Indeed, the entire world knows that. Now, it is a matter for future archaeologists.  The same thing can be said ‘if only the Messiah had come, October 7th wouldn’t  have happened!’  But the Messiah didn’t come, and Trump walked away from elected office, after we elected him in 2020.  The Messiah will come when God decides for him to come.  Trump will gain the Presidency, once the Messiah comes!]

 

Palestinian state – consistent with US interests?  Yoram Ettinger

November 14, 2023 4:30 am 

The difference between the US’ and the Arab approach

*President Joe Biden’s and Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s enthusiasm for a Palestinian state reflects the traditional worldview of the State Department, which has been systematically wrong on key Middle East issues.

*Upon learning of the emerging 1993 Oslo Accord, Jordan’s King Hussein told the Head of Israel’s Mossad, Shabtai Shavit: “Establishing a Palestinian state in the West Bank would be tantamount to death-sentencing the [pro-US] Hashemite regime.” Jordan’s top military command reiterated King Hussein’s warning to their Israeli colleagues during the October 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty ceremony.

*Moreover, the Arab attitude toward the Palestinians was documented by the November 11, 2023, Saudi-hosted joint summit of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The pro-Western Muslim countries (led by Saudi Arabia and the six Arab countries, which concluded peace treaties with Israel) torpedoed a Palestinian-Iranian resolution, which aimed to suspend diplomatic, economic, touristic and military ties with Israel.

*Unlike US policy makers, Arab leaders approach Palestinians with an embracing talk, but with an indifferent-to-negative walk, refraining from taking tangible steps toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.

*While US policy makers extend a red-carpet reception to Palestinian officials, Arab leaders welcome them with a shabby-doormat.

Why don’t Arabs share the US’ eagerness for a Palestinian state?

*Contrary to US policy makers, Arabs leaders base their attitude toward the Palestinians on the rogue Palestinian intra-Arab track record – not on a speculative future track record – which demonstrates that the Palestinians bite the hands that feed them.

 

 

Thunberg Interrupted at Protest: What’s Does Climate Change Have to Do with Gaza?

November 13, 2023 – A man confronted Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg at a climate protest in Amsterdam after she attempted to connect the climate movement with the Palestinians.

The unidentified man made his way to the stage and grabbed Thunberg’s mic as she was addressing the crowd of tens of thousands in the Dutch capital on Sunday. Thunberg was speaking after she brought a Palestinian woman named Sara Rachdan and an Afghan woman named Sahar Shirzad to the stage when the incident occurred.

The Palestinian and Afghan women spoke and then Thunberg resumed her speech, saying that “as a climate justice movement, we have to listen to the voices of those who are being oppressed and those who are fighting for freedom and for justice. Otherwise, there can be no climate justice without international solidarity.”

That is when the man came to the stage, grabbed the mic and said, “I have come here for a climate demonstration, not a political view,” before being escorted off the stage.

Thunberg, who was wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh worn by Hamas terrorists, then led the crowd in a chant of “No climate justice on occupied land.”

A group of 100 environmental activists in Israel last month signed an open letter slamming Thunberg for social media posts expressing “solidarity with Palestine and Gaza.”

 

One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta…    Eddie Peters, Facebook post  May 2020

One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks. “What’s this?” she asked.

“Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.

“What happened to the carpet?” she asked.

“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.

Greta smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles.

“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”

“Where’s the water?” asked Greta.

“Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, ‘Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it”

“Why’s there no running water?” Greta asked, becoming a little peevish.

“Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?” There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .

“What’s for breakfast?” interjected Greta, whose head was hurting.

“Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”

“How so, raw?” inquired Greta.

“Well, . . .” And once again, Greta was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore.

“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Greta.

“Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.”

“What?!” interjected Greta. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.”

“Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing – being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.”

This represents only a fraction of Greta’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet.

Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.

 

 

Ten Rules on how to fight a war, for Israelis only   Jack Engelhard

Remember: There are no innocent Gazans and only Israel is put to the test for collateral damage. Op-ed.

Nov 12, 2023, 4:35 PM (GMT+2) – Only the Israelis, it surely seems, are expected to conduct war in accord with the gentlemanly Marquis of Queensbury Rules.

So,

Rule Number One…as the Israelis confront The Belly of the Beast, they must do no harm to the “innocent civilians.”

Rule Number Two to Rule Number One…are you forgetting something?

Some 85 percent of those “innocents” voted for Hamas. How did that crowd become a protected species like the Hawksbill Turtle?

They’ve been known, through the years, to cheer domestic terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians, and to celebrate 9/11 as a holiday.

The Israelis are fighting for their lives, their homes, their children, their history, their future, their country…and hardly anyone cries for them as an endangered species.

There are no innocent Gazans. Would Abraham find 50? Say, 40…or not even 10?

Only Israel is put to the test for collateral damage…Dresden, anyone? Hiroshima?

Rule Number Three. The Israelis must stop winning and agree to an immediate ceasefire for the good of those Gazans who have been displaced by the fighting.

(Systematic pauses are now in effect, also for the hostages…Is this smart? But please, no more Shalits.)

Rule Number Four to Rule Number Three…strange that you worry only about the Arabs. Not a word about the Gaza border Israelis, thousands uprooted and displaced, Oct 7.

Not a word about them from Antony Blinken or the media. For the Jews, nobody cares. For the Arabs, everybody cares.

In fact, the Israelis along the border with Gaza… since 2007, it’s been life on the run from missiles, dynamited balloons and kites.

Fifteen seconds to get to a bomb shelter.

The leadership mostly shrugged. This too shall pass. But it didn’t, did it?

Why progressives can’t simply condemn antisemitism    Matthew M. Hausman, JD

Democrats demand the suppression of speech they disagree with, but they cannot seem to unify against crass antisemitism. Op-ed.

Nov 12, 2023, 4:15 PM (GMT+2) – When Hamas attacked Israel in a genocidal pogrom targeting men, women, and children, it was not the start of a war with the traditional goals of strategic victory or conquest, but a war to annihilate the Jewish People.

Let’s tell it like it is: The Arab/Israeli conflict has never been about self-determination for Palestinian-Arabs, who have no historical footprint or ancient pedigree in the land, but about the destruction of Israel and extermination of the Jews, whose ancestral connection to their homeland is, unlike Palestinian Arab claims, incontrovertible.

The root of the conflict – the true basis that nobody wants to acknowledge – is the doctrinal hatred of Jews.

Though there was an unprecedented show of support for Israel after the initial attack in which Hamas terrorists slaughtered families, raped women and girls, burned people alive and murdered children, it didn’t take long for the UN Secretary-General to contextualize Hamas’s savagery by saying it “didn’t happen in a vacuum.” Or for progressives in the US and elsewhere to accuse Israel of concocting accounts of atrocities, or to admit they occurred but justify them as natural consequences of an “occupation” that does not exist.

Soon after came calls from the global community for Israel to temper her response or agree to a ceasefire, followed by specious allegations of Israeli war crimes. True to form, the mainstream media showed its bias by publishing Hamas propaganda as news without seeking verification from Israeli sources or employing the kind of rigorous fact checking that set the standard when I was a young journalist starting out in the 1980s. The abdication of objectivity was clear when most news outlets falsely reported that Israeli rockets had blown up a Gaza hospital killing hundreds, when in fact the missile was fired by Islamic Jihad. The stories were later retracted, but not before such reporting had inflamed tensions and instigated worldwide condemnations of Israel.

And now, a month into the war and in the midst of Israel’s intense campaign to destroy Hamas, progressives have become the terror organization’s most prominent boosters by stepping up their pathological demonization of the Jewish state. Violent anti-Israel demonstrations are sweeping liberal college campuses and cities across North America and Europe, where rioters can be seen chanting Nazi-like slogans, assaulting Jews, and openly calling for genocide.

 

THE HAMAS ‘INSIDE JOB’ TRUTHERS DON’T UNDERSTAND ISRAEL OR WAR   Daniel Greenfield  

October 17, 2023 – There have been two kinds of conspiracy theories circulated by ‘truthers’ after the Hamas massacre of Israelis.

The first kind essentially denies there was an attack or nitpicks the details. Those arguments are made in obvious bad faith by people who simply hate Israel and side with the terrorists. Any evidence presented to them is dismissed as fake.

The second kind of conspiracy theory is of the “inside job” variety most often involving a “stand down” order that allowed Hamas to massacre over 1,000 people without any military intervention. Some of the people pushing this stuff are the usual suspects, alt-righters and anti-semites, some of it’s coming from anti-war leftists and libertarians who treat every war as a vast conspiracy, and some from fringe figures in Israel.

The idea that Prime Minister Netanyahu or top generals would have issued a “stand down” (apart from being horrifying) makes no sense. Before this attack, he was the longest-serving prime minister in Israeli history. Now he’s been forced to join a unity government and polls show that most Israelis want him to resign. His political career may be over. In Israel. top generals transition into politics. That is a whole lot less likely to happen now.

The Yom Kippur War disaster tanked Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan despite their heroic stature. There’s no political gain to letting the enemy murder over a thousand of your people in a preventable attack.

Finally, Israel is a small country. A whole lot of people know each other and are related or friends with each other. This conspiracy theory requires you to believe that military personnel who had friends and family living in these communities decided to ignore calls for help and sit around playing cards. Not to mention ignore attacks on their own bases and allow their fellow military personnel to be murdered, tortured, and taken hostage.

But since it is out there, let’s address it.Israel is a mighty fortress and its security is second to none, so how could this have happened?

Democrat Cenk Uygur Loses It on Piers Morgan Show Upon Hearing Some Uncomfortable Facts from Rabbi Shmuley: “You Bigot, You Racist!”  (VIDEO 1:37)   By Jim Hft

Nov. 11, 2023 12:40 pm – In a fiery exchange on the “Piers Morgan Uncensored” show, Democrat Presidential Candidate Cenk Uygur and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach engaged in a heated debate over Middle Eastern politics, resulting in a meltdown from Uygur.

The conversation turned intense when Rabbi Shmuley outlined a series of historical events involving the Palestinian state proposals. He asserted that the Palestinians had opportunities to establish a state in 1936, 1947, 1967, 2000, and 2008 but rejected these offers.

“The Palestinians were offered a state in 1936, and the Peel Commission rejected it. They were offered a state in 1947. The UN Partition Plan, they rejected it. They were offered a state in 1967 after Israel conquered Judea and Samaria and the West Bank, they rejected it. They were offered a state in 2000. Yasser Arafat, Ehud Barak, they rejected it. They were offered a state with Ehud Olmert 2008, they rejected it. Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005 and they did not create a state,” said Rabbi Shmuley.

Rabbi Shmuley then challenged Uygur’s stance on the conflict, questioning his silence on various historical events.

“Where were you Cenk, when you say that you care about Palestinian children? When Hamas stole the highest rate of per capita international foreign aid, larger than the Marshall Plan, from Palestinian children.

“Did not build schools for them, did not build hospitals, took all the money to buy bombs and to build a network of tunnels which is larger than the New York subway system, where were you then?!”

“Why did you only come up now? In fact, when Bashar al-Assad killed 600,000 children, Arab children when he gassed them with mustard gas. My organization took out full-page New York Times ads to protect them. Where were you then? You don’t care about Arab children. You are a Jew hater, defined as someone who only wants to lie and say that the Jews are genocide,” said Rabbi Shmuley.

Uygur lashed out at Rabbi Shmuley and resorted to name-calling and agitation, which usually signifies a loss in their argument, calling him a “racist” and a “bigot.”

Why Are We Flooded With Outrage-Producing News Stories?   Analysis by A Midwestern Doctor

November 11, 2023

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • The mass media’s business model revolves around emotionally enraging and upsetting its audience because that makes more money than informing and empowering the public
  • This business model has transformed the political process from one where differing parties come together to find the compromise which most makes sense to one where everyone prioritizes beating the other side
  • Our susceptibility to this business model arises from the strain modern life has placed on our nervous system. Once in this dulled state, humans have difficulty responding to anything besides strong or provocative stimuli and hence often miss many of the most important facets of life
  • One of the most important things you can do for your health is to understand exactly how the mass media emotionally manipulates you and boycott all of that toxic content

The Tribute to a Little-Known Soldier   By Joe Nocera

A small plaque to a young veteran in a New York park tells a very American story of sacrifice.

November 11, 2023 – My neighborhood in upper Manhattan surrounds a small, sweet park—Bennett Park, it’s called—that marks the highest natural point in New York City. Long ago, it was the site of Fort Washington, which the Continental Army built in the summer of 1776 only to have it captured by the British until the end of the Revolutionary War. Today, the fort’s walls are partially outlined by cobblestones, and dogs frolic around a centuries-old cannon.

In 1996 the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation added another war memorial in Bennett Park, this one dedicated to the memory of a man—a kid, really—who had grown up in the neighborhood and had been killed during World War II. His name was Emilio Barbosa. The inscription said that he was a native of Nicaragua who had lived on Pinehurst Avenue, a street that borders the west side of the park. At 17 he joined the Marines and spent the next two years manning a 20mm gun turret on the USS Nevada, fighting first at Normandy Beach and then in the Pacific theater. He died at the age of 19, when a Japanese kamikaze pilot flew into the Nevada as she bombarded Okinawa.

Barbosa’s small plaque, low to the ground and under a tree, is easy to miss. But I’ve found myself lingering over it from time to time, wondering about the man it honors—imagining, for instance, how terrifying it must have been as that Japanese plane closed in on him. My father also served in the Pacific, and decades later, when he could finally bring himself to talk about it, he said that the experience of watching a kamikaze pilot dive toward his ship had instilled in him a profound belief in God.
