3/4 of Palestinians support Hamas | The Caroline Glick Show In-Focus  [36:35]

November 19, 2023 – The IDF continues to cave to American pressure on the battlefield, Biden threatens consequences for “destabilizing” Jewish settler violence, and a new poll shows just how radical the Palestinians are.

 

Hamas also slaughters Muslim Israelis   Khaled Abu Toameh

During their murder spree, the terrorists did not distinguish between young and old, Muslim and Jew. Op-ed.

Dec 1, 2023, 6:17 AM (GMT+2) – (JNS) The Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel on Oct. 7 did not kill only Jews. The terrorists also murdered and kidnapped scores of Muslim Israelis, including members of the Bedouin community. The terrorists’ murder spree made zero distinction between young and old, Israeli Muslim and Jew.

More than 1,200 Israelis were murdered in the massacre, while another 240 were kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip as hostages. Scores of Arab Israelis were murdered, wounded or taken hostage. Among the kidnapped is Aisha al-Ziadna, a 16-year-old Muslim citizen of Israel.

The first wave of Hamas’s attack hit a music festival at Kibbutz Re’im which had an estimated 3,500 young people in attendance.

The magnitude of the onslaught became apparent as bloodied and panicked people staggered into the medical tent screaming for help.

Finally, the medical staff was ordered to flee along with everyone else.

Awad Darwashe, 23, an Arab-Israeli paramedic, remained behind, refusing to abandon the wounded. “I speak Arabic. I think I can manage,” Darawshe said. Perhaps he thought the terrorists would not harm a fellow Muslim Arab. He was wrong.

Hamas mercilessly beat, humiliated, abducted and murdered their fellow Muslims, including Darawshe as he was bandaging the wounded. After Darwashe was murdered, his ambulance was stolen and driven into the Gaza Strip.

 

Bulletproof vests won’t save the West from its own Hamas    Giulio Meotti

Like the lifeboats on the Titanic, in Eurabia there won’t be body armor for everyone when the attack comes. Op-ed.

Nov 30, 2023, 6:28 PM (GMT+2) – In no other country in the world does the winner of political elections have to appear in public wearing a bulletproof vest.

“Holland: immigration, Islamization and mass pro-Palestinian demonstrations have opened the doors to Geert Wilders’ electoral victory” writes Jessica Durlacher on Weltwoche.

Not in the eyes of our “reflective class”, which only sees the populist spectrum, never the Islamist one.

But we have to get to Holland by making a wider circle and passing through France and Ireland.

Because in the vibrant, multicultural West, the stabbing of the native population is becoming routine. After last Saturday’s small pogrom during a village dance in rural France, three children were stabbed at the Catholic school in Cólaiste Mhuire in Dublin.

Or as the BBC put it, “three children and a school care assistant were stabbed outside a primary school”.

Almost as if the knife did everything by itself.

 

The Jewish Question From the Radical Perspective, 1936-37    By Alex Grobman, PhD
November 30, 2023

Part VIII

A period of comparative tranquility prevailed, especially during the first half of 1936 when Germany hosted the Olympic Games. Though there were practically no assaults against Jews during this time, the public’s callous attitude toward them became more intense and pervasive throughout the country. The late Holocaust historian David Bankier did not attribute this to Nazi propaganda, which the public viewed as “dull and tedious,” but the “wedge” that had been created between the Jews and Germans. Even while Jews were socially segregated, as long as Germans benefited economically from patronizing Jewish stores, they continued to do so, particularly those who were not fanatic antisemites. Some shopped in Jewish stores as a way to express their resistance to the Nazis, not out of concern for the welfare of the Jewish owners.

1938 and Kristallnacht

After the Olympic games concluded, antisemitism began in earnest once again, particularly from the end of 1937. The government accelerated the process of Aryanization, leading to a massive attempt to pressure Jews to leave the country. Jewish institutions, businesses and private homes were vandalized; Jews were victimized and subject to random arrests. Not to be outdone, the Nazi party began competing with the government on abusing Jews.

Between the late evening hours of November 9 and the early morning of November 10, 1938, gangs of German brownshirts and the SS publicly destroyed and firebombed 267 synagogues throughout Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland. British historian Richard J. Evans noted that the police and the SS were instructed not to stop the destruction of Jewish property or restrain those committing violent acts against German Jews.

There were a number of responses to this mass pogrom, Bankier found. The large majority of Germans denounced the attacks of “brute force,” while still strongly approving the “social segregation and economic destruction of the Jews.” Many people were humiliated and shamed by Germany because the country was embarrassed throughout the world. Some Germans attempted to “compensate” the Jews for these disgraceful acts. A number of non-Jews felt a genuine threat that they could be the next target of Nazi terror. In certain areas, the Catholic Church was attacked, when there were no Jews to assault.

Unlike any other antisemitic act, Kristallnacht stirred the educated bourgeoise from their indifference. They had been willing to tolerate the regime’s crude and absence of German Kultur, as long as they could save Germany from Bolshevism. The wanton destruction of property and violence alienated them even further from the Nazis.

 

A Nobel Prize For Terror And Other Absurdities   By Amb. Alberto M. Fernandez*

November 30, 2023 | It is anyone’s guess how exactly or when the Hamas-Israel War in Gaza will actually end. There is great external pressure on Israel to stop its response to Hamas’s October 7 invasion. There is also a great internal pressure on the Israeli government by the Israeli people to continue fighting. Winners and losers are subjective categories and especially so in dynamic, conflict-ridden situations but, leaving aside the two immediate belligerents we can certainly judge who or what – at this particular juncture – has “gained” the most so far from the conflict. I expect that at the end of the war and beyond some of those who seemed to have gained the most will eventually turn out to be losers but that is a historic thread that has yet to be played out.

Those regimes or things that have “gained” the most – so far – from the conflict are Iran, Qatar, Islam, and antisemitism. This is, in my view, an obvious observation with plenty of evidence to back it up.

Iran has gained by the implementation of parts of its vast, diffuse network of armed proxies against Israel. While it may eventually lose a card in Gaza, Iran has shown that its network has teeth and can be used to project power over long distances not only against Israel but against the United States. While its close allies and proteges in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad engaged directly with the Israelis, its proxies in Syria and Iraq pressed the Americans directly in their bases. While distant Yemen lobbed ballistic missiles and drones against Israel and intervened against shipping in the Red Sea, Iran’s proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, pursued a middle path of some aggression against the Israelis but not enough to invite a massive response. At least not yet. Hezbollah has sustained some real losses and Houthi Yemen may eventually feel some pain, but the Iranian proxy network has been shown to be a real tool. That is a gain for Iran.

Iran has also gained diplomatically, as nations seek its help in resolving their hostage crises, as Thailand and others have done. And all the attention on Israel-Hamas, has shifted the focus away from Iran’s other projects. Not only did the Americans authorize billions of dollars in payments to Iran during the war, but UN sanctions on Iran’s ballistic missile program expired on October 18.[1] Iran’s military industrial complex and its weapons exports seem poised to grow at exactly the same time that its missiles (and copies of Iran’s missiles) are being launched from Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.

Qatar, the key diplomatic, media and financial patron of Hamas, has also gained at this stage in the war. A cynical actor playing the role of both arsonist and fireman in Hamas’s campaign, it has positioned itself as the supposed essential mediator on hostages and on the war in general while representing Hamas and hosting solicitous senior American and Israeli intelligence officials in Doha. Qatar’s immediate goal is to save Hamas from destruction by securing an early ceasefire. Beyond that, it wants to promote the rise of Islamist groups anywhere it can, east or west, but especially it wants to see Hamas replace Fateh/PLO as the principal representatives of the Palestinian cause, “normalizing” Hamas.

Beyond those goals of projecting power and helping its ideological allies are personal and institutional ambitions.[2] Qatar dreams of even greater triumphs and influence. In January 2023, Arabic-language media trumpeted a piece in an obscure Spanish newspaper suggesting that Emir Tamim Bin Hamid Al-Thani should be considered for the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize. A cursory check reveals that it was not even a Spaniard who suggested this but rather a Moroccan columnist in the paper.[3] That bit was omitted in the Arabic coverage.[4]

 

The failure of Western Feminism when it’s most needed   Prof. Phyllis Chesler

The Clarity Coallition has stepped in to publicly condemn the Hamas’ massacre against Israel, defending Western civilization.  Op-ed.

Nov 30, 2023, 9:00 AM (GMT+2) – On Nov. 25, the United Nations initiated its annual Sixteen Days of Global Activism Against Gender-Based Violence against women and girls. This will continue until Dec. 10, which is Human Rights Day.

My people are the feminists at the UN. They also head NGOs, occupy chairs at foundations, human rights organizations, national women’s organizations, and Women’s Studies/Gender Studies departments, and are prominent Talking Heads in the media. For eight whole weeks, they have remained silent about the genocidal rapes of Israeli women on Oct. 7.

Some of these women once waged brave and determined battles against rape, incest, and domestic violence; supported the #MeToo Movement; and at least issued statements condemning the rapes of women in Bosnia, Rwanda, Sudan, and the Yazidi women who were kidnapped by ISIS.

They also supported the idea that rape is a war crime, at least in a battle zone.

However, these once visionary feminists have not only betrayed Israeli women – they have also betrayed women of color who live under Sharia law.

Most have remained relatively silent about the normalized mistreatment of Muslim women in Muslim countries and communities. They have not organized campaigns to end forced face veiling, polygamy, child marriage, routine girl- and woman-battering, or honor killing (femicide), either in foreign countries or in the West.

Why? Even though the victims of such injustices are primarily women of color, Western feminists have been very cautious about accusing men of color, especially men whose countries may once have been colonized, of crimes. They fear doing so might be seen as “racist.” Or “Islamophobic.”

Worse, some feminists in the West have actually glorified the forced wearing of the Islamic veil as a form of anti-colonial resistance. During the Women’s March in Washington, some women fashioned hijab out of American flags. Many anti-Israel rallies and marches feature both women and men, leftists and Muslims, sporting Palestinian keffiyehs as a way to signal their support – for the oppression of women.

The world just got a little safer…   by Strange Sounds

NOV 30, 2023 – Henry Kissinger is dead… RIP Ghoul…

Look! they were taken in flagrante… Kissinger & Schwab almost hand in hand…

Who’s his replacement?

Klaus Schwab is his protege…

As reported by Unlimited Hangout:

“The World Economic Forum wasn’t simply the brainchild of Klaus Schwab, but was actually born out of a CIA-funded Harvard program headed by Henry Kissinger and pushed to fruition by John Kenneth Galbraith and the “real” Dr. Strangelove, Herman Kahn. This is the amazing story behind the real men who recruited Klaus Schwab, who helped him create the World Economic Forum, and who taught him to stop worrying and love the bomb.”

So Schwab is a Kissinger protege and the WEF is a puppet organization for the council on foreign relations. Harvard is also a recruiting center for the CIA.

Here are some nice old pictures:

To make it a bit more spicy

Title by Reuters: ‘Henry Kissinger, American diplomat and Nobel winner, dead at 100’…

I would change the title as: HENRY KISSINGER, WAR CRIMINAL, DEAD AT 100…

AND EVEN ADD: War criminal and Nobel Peace Prize recipient! Because in our clown world, those two things are not mutually exclusive… Yep they gave it to Obama… (LOL! Even if Obama apologized for 1 civilian drone victim every day, it would take him 3 years)…

Here’s a long documentary about the trials of Kissinger:

I guess there’s a limit to how long the adrenochrome will keep these zombies upright.

Now who is next? Soros? Or even Kissinger’s protege WEF’s Klaus Schwab?

In the meantime Kissinger, I hope you enjoy your new “tropical” location…

 

How Milei Could Make Argentina a Beacon of Freedom and Prosperity   By Doug Casey

November 30, 2023 – International Man: Javier Milei made history by becoming the world’s first anarcho-capitalist president.

What is the historical significance of his victory? Are you optimistic?

Doug Casey: Milei’s election is a big deal—potentially a very, very big deal. He’s the first declared anarcho-capitalist in history to head any country. And not by stealth. He, all the while, said that the State is the enemy and should be abolished. Anarcho-capitalists believe that society can run itself without a State, which is a formalized instrument of coercion.

It’s unprecedented for somebody to be elected to run a State that he wants to abolish. And propose that if it continues to exist, it should only have the police, military, and the courts. And even those should be privatized.

Am I optimistic?

Looking at it from a long-term point of view, for the last hundred years, individual freedom has been diminishing, and State power has grown hugely all over the world. What’s worse is that the trend is accelerating. Many countries are on the ragged edge of turning into socialist or fascist dictatorships.

That includes the US. Since Reagan left office, all of our presidents have been disasters of various types, with the current regime being the worst yet. In Argentina, the Peronists have run the country completely into the ground over the last 75 years.

Of course, maybe Milei’s election is just an uptick in a continuing downtrend because you can’t change a country’s national philosophy overnight. But destroying a State apparatus infested by Peronists, socialists, fascists, and other horrible parasites is a good start. If he can pull the apparatus of the State out by its roots, not just trim it back, the result might last for quite a while.

I’m encouraged by the fact that young people and poor people are among his biggest supporters. They recognize that they’re the ones who the State damages the most. Could Argentina be the start of a worldwide trend towards free minds and free markets?

Jonathan Pollard and Rabbi David Bar-Hayim: Is Israel Winning the War? [11:00]

 

Chanukah guide for the perplexed, 2023     Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger                                                         [Ed.: Chanukah (Hanukkah) 2023 starts at nightfall on December 7, 2023 and ends with nightfall on December 15, 2023,]

1. According to Israel’s Founding Father, David Ben Gurion: Chanukah commemorates “the struggle of the Maccabees, which was one of the most dramatic clashes of civilizations in human history, not merely a political-military struggle against foreign oppression…. Unlike many peoples, the meager Jewish people did not assimilate.  The Jewish people prevailed, won, sustained and enhanced their independence and unique civilization…. It was the spirit of the people, rather than the failed spirit of the establishment, which enabled the Hasmoneans to overcome one of the most magnificent spiritual, political and military challenges in Jewish history….” (Uniqueness and Destiny, pp 20-22, David Ben Gurion, IDF Publishing, 1953).

2. A Jewish national liberation holiday.  Chanukah (evening of December 7 – December 15, 2023) is the only Jewish holiday that commemorates an ancient national liberation struggle in the Land of Israel, unlike the national liberation holidays, Passover, Sukkot/Tabernacles and Shavu’ot/Pentecost, which commemorate the liberation from slavery in Egypt to independence in the land of Israel, and unlike Purim, which commemorates liberation from a Persian attempt to annihilate the Jewish people.

3. Chanukah and the Land of Israel.  When ordered by Emperor Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Seleucid region to end the Jewish “occupation” of Jerusalem, Jaffa, Gaza, Gezer and Akron, Shimon the Maccabee responded: “We have not occupied a foreign land…. We have liberated the land of our forefathers from foreign occupation (Book of Maccabees A: 15:33).”

Chanukah highlights the centrality of the Land of Israel in the formation of Jewish history, religion, culture and language. The mountain ridges of Judea and Southern Samaria (the West Bank) were the platform for the Maccabean military battles: Mitzpah (the burial site of the Prophet Samuel, overlooking Jerusalem), Beth El (the site of the Ark of the Covenant and Judah the Maccabee’s initial headquarters), Beth Horon (Judah’s victory over Seron), Hadashah (Judah’s victory over Nicanor), Beth Zur (Judah’s victory over Lysias), Ma’aleh Levona (Judah’s victory over Apolonius), Adora’yim (a Maccabean fortress), Eleazar (named after Mattityahu’s youngest Maccabee son), Beit Zachariya (Judah’s first defeat), Ba’al Hatzor (where Judah was defeated and killed), Te’qoah, Mikhmash and Gophnah (bases of Shimon and Yonatan), the Judean Desert, etc.

4. Historical context  Chanukah is narrated in the four Books of the MaccabeesThe Scroll of Antiochus and The Wars of the Jews.

In 323 BCE, following the death of Alexander the Great (Alexander III) who held Judaism in high esteem, the Greek Empire was split into three independent and rival mini-empires: Greece, Seleucid/Syria and Ptolemaic/Egypt.

 

INFORMED DISSENT   JAMES ROGUSKI

NOW is the time for everyone around the world to stand up in support of our fundamental and unalienable rights to bodily autonomy, informed consent and INFORMED DISSENT.

NOV 29, 2023 – I realize that this is an enormous article, but this issue is of enormous importance. Please take the time to read this entire article.

CLICK HERE TO SIGN THE EUROPEAN CITIZENS’ INITIATIVE

To all my readers…

Over a month ago, I published a request for “volunteers” to participate in an absolutely enormous project. Since then, I have had hundreds of conversations with people around the world regarding the concept of…

“Out of the WHO and in with the NEW!”

I have been, and will continue to be, very active in my opposition to the World Health Organization. However, in my humble opinion, the proposed amendments and the “Pandemic Agreement” that I have been focused on for the past two years are actually just symptoms that are caused by much deeper problems.

I believe that the issues of bodily autonomy, informed dissent and a lack of government transparency and accountability are actually more important than the WHO negotiations..

FOUR QUESTIONS:

  1. Have you ever actually seen the section of the criminal code that imposes a fine or penalty of imprisonment for a violation of informed consent in regards to clinical trial activity?
  2. Have you ever actually seen the section of the criminal code that imposes a fine or penalty of imprisonment for a violation of informed consent in regards to normal medical practice?
  3. If there is no law that imposes a fine or penalty for violating the obligation to provide proper information and ensure clear comprehension prior to medical therapy, isn’t the lack of such a law the real reason why our rights have been violated with impunity?
  4. ARE YOU WILLING TO WORK WITH ME TO WRITE AND ENACT LEGISLATION around the world to ensure that violation of our fundamental unalienable right to bodily autonomy can never again be violated, even during a so-called emergency?

 

Genocidal Hatred of Jews and the West   by Guy Millière
November 29, 2023 at 5:00 am

  • Many Muslims living in the West remain under the influence of Islamist movements and the hatred of Israel and Jews that permeates their countries of origin. Hatred of Jews and Israel is therefore markedly present in Muslim communities in the West.
  • In the 1960s, when the Soviet Union wanted to gain more influence in the Arab Muslim world, its leaders decided to support what was at the time a sacred cause for Arab leaders: the attempt to destroy Israel. They… chose to invent a “national liberation struggle”…. The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was founded in 1964 with the task of “liberating Palestine,” and the borders of “Palestine” on the maps used by the PLO showed that the goal was to erase Israel from the face of the earth.
  • Western leftists started vocally to express hatred of “imperialist Israel” and, ironically, the hard-won democratic freedoms they were at that moment enjoying to the fullest: freedom of speech, assembly, education, sexuality, and supposedly equal justice under the law.
  • The Oslo Accords only made everything worse. By signing them, Israel’s then Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin recognized… that a terrorist organization was somehow the legitimate representative of a people invented fewer than three decades earlier, and that this invented “people” had “rights” and deserved to have territory and self-government.
  • In reality, it was Israel that decolonized the land from the grip of the British, who governed it from 1917 until Israel’s war of independence in 1948.
  • The recent pro-Hamas demonstrations in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia show that hatred of Jews and Israel among Muslims living in the West has reached a degree where many of them openly support genocidal atrocities not only against Jews in Israel but against Jews anywhere…. These demonstrations also show that support for the “Palestinian cause” sometimes also leads Westerners to support genocidal atrocities so long as they are committed against Jews.
  • [I]f nothing is done to respond to the forces seeking to overturn Western civilization, all in the name of “democracy” of course – and Western values such as equal justice under law, equality of opportunity rather than of result, education from facts rather than from propaganda, a media that actually challenges authority rather than allowing itself to be suborned by it, freedom of speech with which one disagrees, the sovereignty of the individual rather than of groups — the worst is bound to come.

 

To be Continued – or Else   by Emmanuel Shiloh, editor of the Besheva newspaper, translated by Hillel Fendel. 

The release of some of the hostages is a sacred goal, achieved in the merit of the successful military campaign – but the destruction of Hamas is absolutely critical to the very existence of the State of Israel.

1. The release of some 60 of our brothers and sisters from Hamas captivity is primarily a clear sign of the great success of our forces’ successful ground operation in Gaza City and throughout the northern Gaza Strip.

Each of our hostages comes at the price of three freed Palestinian terrorist prisoners, not including – for now – those who actually murdered Jews. This is a very problematic price ethically, as well as a security danger – but it is still a low price compared to other exchanges in the past. Most notably, our soldier Gilad Shalit’s freedom was achieved after over five years at the price of more than 1,000 (!) terrorist prisoners. Among them, incidentally or not, was current Hamas PalestiNazi chieftain arch-murderer Yihye Sinwar. He clearly would not have agreed to such a low price in the current deal if his military situation were not so desperate, threatening not only his own life but also that of the entire Hamas regime in Gaza.

2. The ground attack in Gaza, with great Divine help, support from the Israel Air Force, and cooperation from many different IDF units, has dealt Hamas a decisive blow. We have killed thousands of terrorists and destroyed weapons and arms production facilities on a huge scale. We have conquered fortified strongholds and large areas, and taken over symbols of government such as the Gaza parliament building, the main court, and the particularly problematic Shifa Hospital. Yes, dozens of wonderful young soldiers and commanders have paid with their lives – each of whom was an entire world unto himself – but the number of casualties is significantly lower than what we feared and what our enemies hoped.

The cruel Sinwar and his henchmen also understand that even the elaborate tunnels enterprise that they have built up for years so that they can hide out like rats [keep in mind that Hizbullah chief Nasrallah has reportedly not left his bunker in Beirut since 2006, for fear of Israeli assassination] will not last long. It has been severely damaged over the weeks of war, and with G-d’s help our forces will soon totally destroy it. And so, just days before Israel was to complete its conquest of above-ground Gaza and begin dealing in earnest with the underground Gaza, suddenly Hamas showed its willingness to release hostages at bargain prices. This is because what most interests Sinwar is not the release of his Hamas comrades, but a ceasefire.

3. Israel set for itself two major objectives in the current war: the destruction of Hamas, both militarily and politically, and the release of all the 240 or so Israelis and others taken hostage on Simchat Torah, October 7th. Israel has made good progress in both these areas, showing that the military pressure helps advance the goal of freeing our hostages.

Sinwar is hoping that the ceasefire will extricate him from his hopeless predicament.

 

Brace Yourself For What’s Coming In 2024: Victor Davis Hanson Warns The Left Knows They’re “Cooked” If “Vampire” Trump Wins   [10:34]   BY TYLER DURDEN

MONDAY, NOV 27, 2023 – 10:25 AM – In his ubiquitously calm, reasoned, non-ad-hominem, and ruthlessly fact-driven few minutes, Victor Davis Hanson dives into the left’s apparent hysteria at the looming shadow of Donald Trump’s potential return.

Hanson articulates a sense of deep-rooted fear among Trump’s opponents, summed up perfectly as follows:

“they look at Trump as a vampire and they put a stake in his heart but they’re afraid that that stake could come out any time.”

This vivid imagery sets the stage for a discussion about the intense paranoia and strategic maneuvering in the political arena, particularly among those who view Trump not just as a political rival, but as an existential threat to their vision of America.

Hanson argues that there is a perception among Trump’s adversaries that he is now more formidable and justified in his anger due to perceived injustices against him:

“They are terrified of him because they think he’s smarter this time and he has just cause to really get angry because of what they did to him.”

They rightly fear that Trump’s potential comeback would be fueled not just by political ambition, but by a personal vendetta, which could make him a more unpredictable and determined opponent.

“…if a MAGA candidate wins and they win the house and the Senate, we’re cooked.”

They are likely right! And Hanson posits a political landscape where power dynamics could shift dramatically, leading to aggressive investigations and possibly even retribution against figures in the current administration.

It’s hard to argue that Trump’s retribution would be unjustified. As Hanson points out in detail, the Democratic party’s strategies and policies – prioritizing ideology over practical governance – are detached from reality and any concept of effectiveness.

He asserts, “nobody in their right mind would do that,” referring to a range of policy decisions from border control to economic management.

In a broader reflection on the state of American politics, Hanson portrays a polarized environment where allegiance to party ideology trumps objective assessment of policies:

“They start with a deductive principle we are better… and therefore the following must happen.”

This reinforces the perceived dogmatism in the political process, where decisions are driven more by ideological conformity than by rational deliberation or public interest.

Rather ominously, Hanson concludes a bleak picture of the current political climate, drawing parallels to authoritarian regimes, suggesting a mentality of ‘us versus them,’ where belonging to the right political faction offers protection and benefits, while dissent leads to persecution.

Indeed, the political landscape is now a battleground of ideologies, with high stakes for those who choose to engage in it.

“Join the winning side, it’s sort of like in the Soviet Union, if you’re part of the nomenclature and you join the party, you’re exempt; if you’re not, well, you’re on your own.”

Invasion of the humanoids: No, this is not science fiction!   LEO HOHMANN

The world’s great powers are in a race to create a powerful new species of humans that are not human at all, but they will be used as powerful tools of intimidation and deception

NOV 27, 2023 – China has published plans to mass-produce humanoid robots by 2025, as Western companies including Elon Musk‘s Tesla race to produce their own humanoids, The Daily Mail reports.

The British news outlet spoke to leading experts on how humanoid robots could change the world – with one expert saying that the tech will grow exponentially this decade.

Goldman Sachs has predicted that the market for humanoid robots could be worth $150 billion a year worldwide within 15 years — and that humanoid robots will be viable in factories between 2025-2028 and in other jobs by 2030-2035.

The technology will have a positive impact in many fields, believes Marga Hoek, author of “Tech for Good,” but people need to prepare for it.

Hoek said that predictions suggest that up to a quarter of all jobs could be lost to robotics and AI technology. But that’s not a bad thing, she says. We must embrace it.

Hoek told the Daily Mail: “My biggest worry is that all humankind spends a lot of time on fearing, instead of accepting and anticipating.”

Hoek said we need more research to be done on which job roles will still “add value” in a world of humanoid robots. She said, “If we don’t train people, if we don’t anticipate, if we don’t radically change around the school programs, for instance, we’ll be too late.”

What she seems to be saying is, we need to train people to accept their fate. You will be obsolete and learn to like it? Even Yuval Harari admits this is a big problem in a world being taken over by AI. Harari has said that the human feeling of not being needed is even more difficult than the feeling of being oppressed or taken advantage of.

Yes, it’s a natural human tendency to need to be needed — in our personal and professional lives. But the technocrats want to steal that from us and then shame us if we don’t go along.

Hoek predicts that rather than human caregivers, humanoid robots will look after the elderly as well as young people with disorders such as autism.

Doesn’t that sound like something to eagerly look forward to? You get old and fragile, so instead of a family member or a caring nurse, you get a machine to look after your needs. Oh boy, I can’t wait.

 

The West has gone mad – and evil   Giulio Meotti

What is this evil acid that corrodes Western humanism, and where does it come from? Opinion.

Nov 27, 2023, 6:33 AM (GMT+2) – According to French philosopher Alain Finkielkraut, heir to the great liberal thinkers, from Raymond Aron to Albert Camus, “we have slipped into hatred towards our world. The woke spirit, which has taken the place of communist ideology, defines white supremacism as absolute evil and makes the Israeli the quintessence of this evil.”

Hence the assault on the history and culture of the West to dismantle and disperse them both.

And this West now hates itself to the point of generating crazy paradoxes every day. Under these circumstances, how long can our house, the increasingly divided house of the civilized world, stand?

And while in Canada – the country of Leonard Cohen, Saul Bellow and Mordechai Richler, one of the most peaceful and safe places in the world until a few years ago – Molotov cocktails are thrown against synagogues, stars of David and threatening letters are painted on Jewish homes. University of Alberta Samantha Pearson, the head of the campus’ sexual assault centre, signed an open letter denying that Hamas-led terrorists raped Israeli women during the devastating assault of October 7th.

At the same time, Gretchen Felker-Martin, the well known horror writer and transgender activist, defined the blowing up the World Trade Center as “probably the most defensible thing he (Bin Laden) did”.

The West has rotted to the point that high percentages of young people sympathize with the writings of Osama bin Laden.

The president of New York University’s “non-binary students” also defended Hamas. Meanwhile, the third largest Norwegian newspaper, Dagbladet, of one of those countries that consider themselves rational and enlightened, managed to write that Israel had started the war, then had to add that on October 7th, Hamas had first killed 1,200 Israelis.

Meanwhile, a professor at Exeter University in England hailed the “courage of Hamas”.

What is this evil acid that corrodes Western humanism, and where does it come from?

PRELUDE

The aftermath of Hamas’ Simchat Torah surprise attack on Israel has left us with definitive answers to several questions.

·      The vaunted Two-State Solution, previewed in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th massacre of Israeli civilians, is dead in the water.

·      Arab Muslims are serious about wiping Israel off the map.

·      Jew hatred is alive and well.

·      And yes, it can happen again.

These are troubling discoveries, but we ignore the truth at our peril. And in that spirit, I’m going to forge ahead by not only commenting on the war between Hamas and Israel, but also by revisiting the history underlying this conflict in my article to follow.

But first I’d like to take a proverbial bird’s eye view of the whole situation.

There are three groups currently vying for world control. They are: the Chinese Communists, Muslim fundamentalists, and the Luciferian globalist elites with their plan for a New World Order/One World Government/Great Reset.

We might also include the Nazis’ vaunted plan for a Thousand Year Reich—but though we’re seeing Nazi eugenicist elements involving the mRNA vaccines, etc., we can include this element as a subset within the globalist NWO cabal—though to give the Nazi’s their due, the whole global plan is both communistic and fascistic in nature.

The Davos Elites, aka the globalist cabal, are the ultimate people without a state, as they have no loyalty to their own countries where they hold citizenship. Indeed, they coined the phrase “citizens of the world”—but that’s ostensibly meant for We the Serfs, as they prod us closer and closer to their planned Global Government. They clearly plan to be “rulers of the world,” not mere citizens. But they have no army or navy of their own, so how are they going to conquer the rest of us?

 

How the U.S., the UN and the Media Saved Hamas Thirty Years Ago   BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

Israel expelled Hamas. The world forced Israel to take it back.

NOV 25, 2023 11:00 AM – “Deporting The Hope For Peace?” Newsweek asked. The hope for peace was Hamas.

The year was 1992. The Clinton administration was trying to get Israeli Prime Minister Rabin and the PLO’s Yasser Arafat to sign on the dotted line of the Oslo Accords to create a terror state inside Israel. In the name of peace. Unfortunately Hamas kept killing Israelis.

15-year-old Helena Rapp had been stabbed to death at a bus stop on the way to school. A few days later, Rabbi Shimon Biran, a father of four, was similarly murdered by an Islamic terrorist.

Fed up with the latest killings, Prime Minister Rabin put 417 Islamists terrorists on buses and dumped them in Lebanon. The monsters he deported included top Hamas terror leaders.

On the six buses were current Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh, Hamas co-founder Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, who would vow, “by Allah, we will not leave one Jew in Palestine,” Abu Osama, who helped draft the Hamas charter calling for the extermination of the Jews, Hamas co-founders Mohammed Taha, Hammad Al-Hasanat, and Mahmoud Zahar, who threatened “They have legitimized the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people,” Hamad Al-Bitawi, who proclaimed that “Jihad is a collective duty” along with Abdullah al-Shami, the head of Islamic Jihad, and many other present and future Islamic terror leaders deported to Lebanon.

The New York Times headlined its coverage, “Ousted Arabs Shiver and Wait in Lebanese Limbo.” Newsweek also sympathetically described how the Hamas terrorists were “shivering in the cold.” The Washington Post lingered on their handcuff “welts.” The AP warned that seven of the terrorists were “said to be suffering from heart problems, high blood pressure or diabetes.”

In reality the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists had been equipped by Israel with raincoats, blankets, food and $50 each: more than enough to buy whatever they needed in Lebanon.

 

Pollard: “Ship of fools steering our country onto the rocks”  By JONATHAN POLLARD

“Our electorate must remember that it wasn’t just the current government responsible for this debacle,” writes Jonathan Pollard.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 12:24 – Given the horrifying events that occurred in southern Israel this past Simchat Torah and the incomprehensible incompetence that our government and military high command exhibited at the time, it’s not surprising that polls have indicated a surge in support for opposition parties.

However understandable this political reaction has been, our electorate must remember that it wasn’t just the current government responsible for this debacle. Instead, the blame for the massacre of our innocents extends to other organizations and individuals in the opposition. Indeed, the categorical refusal of groups like the Kaplan Force and Brothers-in-Arms to accept their share of the blame for having inadvertently encouraged Hamas’ assault on our border communities is almost as shocking as the government’s total failure to prevent the surprise attack in the first place.

As the months of anti-judicial reform protests took place, I observed the reactions of our enemies to these events.

Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah concluded that our society was disintegrating and that the IDF, in particular, was either unprepared or unwilling to fight effectively. The latter misperception was caused by those reservists, who were threatening not to report for duty unless the government’s judicial reform program was dropped.

This rank insubordination was referenced by various Hamas spokesmen, who gloated over their belief that this revolt by our best soldiers proved that the days of the IDF’s “invincibility” were over.

‘Appreciate the incalculable damage’

In this regard, it’s essential to appreciate the incalculable damage done to our perceived military capabilities by such former generals as National Unity Head Benny Gantz, MK Gadi Eisenkot, former Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and former prime minister Ehud Barak, former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo and former Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman. All these individuals helped spread the false image of an IDF that was splintering over the government’s judicial reform agenda to one degree or another.

Unfortunately, our enemies were listening and reached what they thought were the appropriate conclusions. And while it’s true that Hamas had been planning their cross-border assault for approximately two years, its timing was driven, to a large degree, by the opposition’s utterly irresponsible behavior. This is why some commentators are accusing the opposition of suffering from a case of criminal blindness bordering on treason.

America shouldn’t let Hamas bargain its way to victory    Jonathan Tobin

Israel had no choice but to accept a deal to release some hostages. But Washington shouldn’t pressure Jerusalem to let the terrorists run out the clock on a just war.

(November 22, 2023 / JNS) – Israel’s government knew that it had no choice but to accept the deal it was offered in which some of the hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7 would be freed in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and a temporary ceasefire in the war to eliminate the terrorist group from the Gaza Strip. Pressure from the families of the hostages and a Jewish tradition that prioritizes the redemption of captives swamped all of the objections to giving Hamas what it wanted in exchange for the lives of Jewish women and children.

But the question before the Jewish state and its allies isn’t so much whether the deal was one that enhances Israel’s security or if, instead, it strengthens the barbaric group that committed unspeakable atrocities last month and makes it easier for them to survive. Rather, the key dilemma facing it and those who claim to be its friends is whether this is the start of a prolonged bargaining process that will bring victory to Hamas. And the party that will have the most to say about that is President Joe Biden, not Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

 

SHOCKING: Israel Receives LETHAL Order From Netanyahu   [19:48]

Stephen Gardner and Joel Pollak interview. In a late-night press conference, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he has instructed Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, to target any Hamas leader worldwide. The motivation behind this order is not explicitly mentioned, leaving room for speculation. The potential impact on Hamas leaders is uncertain; it may force them to go on the run.

As for hostage negotiations, they are reportedly commencing, with a suggested exchange ratio of 3 Hamas terrorists for each Israeli hostage. The reasoning behind this specific ratio remains undisclosed.

During the interview, the journalist is asked if they entered Gaza or the part of Israel targeted by Hamas but provides no specific response. There’s also a query about the authenticity of Hamas tunnels under the Al Shifa hospital, contributing to the difficulty of distinguishing truth from propaganda.

The international community’s varied reactions are mentioned, with calls for Netanyahu’s arrest and accusations of genocide and war crimes. A comparison is drawn between sentiments in Israel and Western journalism. The information is presented as part of a broader discussion on the complexities and controversies surrounding the ongoing situation.
