COMMENTARY / OPINION
The fiends’ frustration BENJAMIN KERSTEIN
The pro-Hamas fifth column can’t understand why it’s losing, and how independent scholars can save us from the dictatorship of the professoriate.
MAR 5, 2024 – I’ve read several articles in recent days about the attempt by Hamas supporters to intimidate Joe Biden into turning against Israel by voting “uncommitted” in the Democratic primaries.
Interestingly, almost all of those interviewed said they voted “uncommitted” because all else has failed, especially the mob events they’ve attended. So, they’re going the way of the suicide bomber and threatening to kill the Democratic party, even if it puts Trump in office.
This argument has been used to justify literal suicide. Supporters of the mentally ill man who immolated himself outside the Israeli embassy in DC have praised him for raising the “protest” stakes in the face of persistent failure.
Obviously, there’s quite a lot to say about this, but I am particularly interested in what the “uncommitted” self-immolators whining says about themselves.
I think it says two things: a) These people are morally arrogant on a world-historical scale and b) they are completely incapable of self-reflection and self-criticism.
Elon Musk Issues Grave Warning for America: “The Groundwork is Being Laid for Something Far Worse than 9/11” By Cullen Linebarger
Mar. 5, 2024 2:00 pm – X Owner Elon Musk has a dire warning for America following the news of the Biden regime secretly flying hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, as TGP reported this morning.
The Regime claims 320,000 unvetted aliens have been flown across the country to “reduce” the number of crossings across the border. This, of course, is an outright lie.
It is unknown where these migrants are arriving from. Information from The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reveals the Regime claims the locations are kept hidden because “bad actors” could inflict harm on public safety, and the information could potentially create law enforcement vulnerabilities.
In a post on X this morning, Musk revealed the REAL reason behind the Biden regime’s scheme: importing and spreading around new voters who will reliably vote Democrat to ensure a permanent majority.
Musk notes the Regime’s selfish desire is creating a severe national security threat based on the sheer number of illegal aliens alone. Due to this, he warns, “the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11.
This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants.
It is highly probable that the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11. Just a matter of time.
The Great Election Fraud: Manufactured Choices Make a Mockery of Our Republic By John & Nisha Whitehead
“Dictators are not in the business of allowing elections that could remove them from their thrones.”— Gene Sharp, political science professor
March 05, 2024 – The U.S. Supreme Court was right to keep President Trump’s name on the ballot.
The high court’s decree that the power to remove a federal candidate from the ballot under the Constitution’s “insurrectionist ban” rests with Congress, not the states, underscores the fact that in a representative democracy, the citizenry—not the courts, not the corporations, and not the contrived electoral colleges—should be the ones to elect their representatives.
Unfortunately, what is being staged is not an election. It is a mockery of an election.
This year’s presidential election, much like every other election in recent years, is what historian Daniel Boorstin referred to as a “pseudo-event”: manufactured, contrived, confected and devoid of any intrinsic value save the value of being advertised.
For the next eight months, Americans will be dope-fed billions of dollars’ worth of political propaganda aimed at persuading them that 1) their votes count, 2) the future of this nation—nay, our very lives—depends on who we elect as president, and 3) electing the right candidate will fix everything that is wrong with this country.
Incredible, isn’t it, that in a country of more than 330 million people, we are given only two choices for president?
The system is rigged, of course.
Forcing the citizenry to choose between two candidates who are equally unfit for office does not in any way translate to having some say in how the government is run.
Indeed, no matter what names are on the presidential ballot, once you step away from the cult of personality politics, you’ll find that beneath the power suits, they’re all alike.
The candidate who wins the White House has already made a Faustian bargain to keep the police state in power.
We’ve been down this road before.
Barack Obama campaigned on a message of hope, change and transparency, and promised an end to war and surveillance. Yet under Obama, government whistleblowers were routinely prosecuted, U.S. arms sales skyrocketed, police militarization accelerated, and surveillance became widespread.
Donald Trump swore to drain the swamp in Washington DC. Instead of putting an end to the corruption, however, Trump paved the way for lobbyists, corporations, the military industrial complex, and the Deep State to feast on the carcass of the dying American republic.
We’ve been mired in this swamp for decades now.
“Nothing Will Make Sense To You Unless You Accept That The 2020 Election Was Stolen…” by Drew Allen
TUESDAY, MAR 05, 2024 – 07:43 AM – During the debut of his new Saturday show on the General Michael Flynn-backed Patriot TV, Drew Allen – host of the Drew Allen Show – opened by claiming the Democrats stole the 2020 election.
“They cheated!” Allen says plainly.
Allen, of course, isn’t the first to say it. While the claim isn’t novel, his explanation is—and brilliant too.
Allen says:
“I want you to listen very carefully. This is very, very important. In fact, it’s the key to understanding the world that we’re living in right now in the United States of America. Nothing that is happening can make sense to you unless you understand one thing. And this is something that you are forbidden from believing. Alright, this is the key to everything. Are you ready? The Democrats stole the 2020 election. They cheated! Alright, if you believe that, you can understand what’s going on. You have a lens to comprehend the world that we’re living in—the insanity. But if you don’t believe it, nothing makes sense.”
Allen explains that when the Democrats started prosecuting Trump, “what they thought was gonna happen is that the American people were going to abandon Trump.”
He points out that “…it didn’t. It had the opposite impact. It backfired on them. What actually happened was Donald Trump’s poll numbers improved. Improved! So they didn’t know what to do. They had to double down on that strategy.”
“They want a Richard Nixon situation,” Allen points out “and it didn’t happen. They cannot fathom that Trump is still standing.”
Allen plays a clip of Democrat lawyer Marc Elias to prove his point.
In the clip Elias says:
“how they decided that the candidate who is going to be best as their standard bearer is Donald Trump, is not just sickening from a standpoint of American politics, but is actually baffling from a matter of partisan strategy. I mean, it is hard to imagine a worse candidate for them to put forward, a candidate with more vulnerabilities than Donald Trump. The fact that the Republican Party itself is unwilling to just say he is out of bounds, he is too toxic, and he will not be out standard bearer…”
Allen points out:
“You hear what he’s saying there right? He wants to choose our candidate…in his opinion he cannot comprehend how the American people, the Republican voter has not ditched Trump. They do not want to face Trump in 2024 because why? Because they stole 2020 and they’re worried about 2024 again.”
Allen goes on to explain how the latest Democrat Party meltdown over the Supreme Court taking up the Trump immunity appeal proves his point beyond doubt.
“The Hill, Fortune Magazine, Axios, NBC, they all had these polls that got them giddy with excitement…for example an NBC news poll recently it showed that former President Donald Trump uh leading current President Joe Biden by 5 points among registered voters, well, when the surveys final question re-asks voters what their ballot choice would be if Trump is found guilty and convicted of a felony this year Biden narrowly pulls ahead of Trump.”
“So they were banking on what?” Patriot TV host Allen asks.
“Getting a conviction of Trump because they believe, because their pollsters told them that one of their paths to victory was dependent, perhaps their only path to victory apart from cheating…their success in 2024 was heavily dependent upon getting a conviction.
And so with the Supreme Court coming in and basically ensuring that no conviction was going to happen before November they’re losing their minds because why? They stole 2020 and they don’t believe they can beat Trump in 2024. See it’s making so much sense now right?”
The Drew Allen Show is the most exciting new addition to Patriot TV and a new episode will air each Saturday. Allen is also the author of America’s Last Stand: Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024?, a new book lauded as a sequel to Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.

Interview with Lt. Col. Allen West [1:06:16] JOHN LEAKE
The fearless conservative runs for the Dallas County GOP Chair
MAR 5, 2024 – I just had a fascinating conversation with the decorated soldier and former U.S. Congressman, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, who is running for the Dallas County GOP Chair. Like Thomas Sowell, West is an eloquent advocate of Equality of Opportunity, and NOT Equality of Outcome. He is a staunch defender of the U.S. Constitution and he believes that its limitation of state power is the foundation of our freedom and prosperity. He advocates the primacy of the individual over collectivist schemes and identity politics. He perceives America’s current obsession with race as the product of subversive actors who wish to weaken the country by sowing discord and hatred.
If you are a resident of Dallas County, I strongly encourage you to vote for this great patriot who has always endeavored to ascertain and tell the truth as best as he can, even though it has repeatedly brought him into conflict with powerful interests. He is precisely the sort of defender of truth and justice that I aspired to interview when we founded the Courageous Discourse Substack.
The Illusion of a Palestinian ‘Demilitarized’ State by Bassam Tawil
March 5, 2024 at 5:00 am
- [A]ny commitment to a demilitarized state by the Palestinian leadership would be legally worthless.
- “Any treaty is void if, at the time it was entered into, it conflicts with a ‘peremptory’ rule of general international law (jus cogens) – a rule accepted and recognized by the international community of states as one from which ‘no derogation is permitted.’ Because the right of sovereign States to maintain military forces essential to ‘self-defense’ is such a peremptory rule, Palestine, depending upon its particular form of authority, could be entirely within its right to abrogate any pre-independence agreement that had compelled its demilitarization.” [Italics in original.] — Louis René Beres, professor emeritus at Purdue University, and an expert in international law and political science, jurist.org, December 23, 2023.
- “Therein lies the jurisprudential core of the Palestinian demilitarization problem: International law would not necessarily require Palestinian compliance with any pre-state agreements concerning the use of armed force. From the standpoint of such authoritative law, enforcing demilitarization upon a sovereign state of Palestine would be sorely problematic.” [Italics in original.] — Louis René Beres, jurist.org, December 23, 2023
- “Unhidden, both the Arab world and Iran still have only a ‘One-State Solution’ for the ‘Israel Problem.’ It is a ‘solution’ that eliminates Israel altogether, a physical solution, a ‘Final Solution.’ Even today, official Arab maps of ‘Palestine’ (PNA and Hamas) show the prospective Arab State comprising all of the West Bank (Judea/Samaria), all of Gaza and all of Israel. They knowingly exclude any references to a Jewish population and list ‘holy sites’ of Christians and Muslims only.” — Louis René Beres, jurist.org, December 23, 2023
- No one can stop a future Palestinian state from becoming a lawless and militarized state. Such a state on Israel’s doorstep would pose a direct and grave threat to Israel’s existence and actually facilitate the mission of the Iranian regime and its terror proxies to murder more Jews.

Countering Pro-Palestine Propaganda Part 6: Palestinian Refugees’ Right of Return by A.J. Caschetta
March 3, 2024 (Investigative Project on Terrorism) – The final entry in IPT’s “Countering Pro-Palestine Propaganda” concerns one of the most enduring and outrageous claims in the anti-Israel toolbox: that “Palestinian refugees” have a right to claim land, houses, and apartments from which their forebears fled during the 1948 War of Independence. In truth, few of them are really refugees, most of them left their homes voluntarily, and no “Palestinian” has a right to claim anything in Israel.
In virtually every other conflict in modern history, when a war ends, refugees are resettled in other countries where they eventually become citizens. But after the 1948 war in which Israel fought off its neighbors and won its independence, the Arabs who were encouraged to leave their homes and join one of the invading armies were not allowed to become citizens of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, or Lebanon. Instead they were forced to live in “camps” – cities really – where they could be used as perpetual bargaining tools against the Jewish state. Declared “refugees,” their status was used to keep alive a war that had ended. The Arabs lost and Israel won.
As Benny Morris put it in 2008, “most of Palestine’s 700,000 ‘refugees’ fled their homes because of the flail of war (and in the expectation that they would shortly return to their homes on the backs of victorious Arab invaders).”
In truth, few of them are really refugees, most of them left their homes voluntarily, and no “Palestinian” has a right to claim anything in Israel.
Among those overconfident Arab leaders was Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Said who promised to “smash the country with our guns and obliterate every place the Jews seek shelter in.”
Syria’s Prime Minister, Hayed al Azm, wrote in his 1973 memoir that “we ourselves are the ones who encouraged them to leave.”
The Arab National Committee in Jerusalem ordered women, children, and the elderly to leave in March 1948.
In August 1948, the commander of Jordan’s Arab Legion said that “Villages were frequently abandoned even before they were threatened by the progress of war.”
After the capture of Haifa, a British police officer wrote that “every effort is being made by the Jews to persuade the Arab populace to stay and carry on with their normal lives, to get their shops and businesses open and to be assured that their lives and interests will be safe.”
Arabs, on the other hand, dismantled or destroyed the Jewish towns and villages they conquered in the war, among them, according to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “Beit Ha’arava and Kalya north of the Dead Sea; four kibbutzim of the Etzion Bloc, west of Bethlehem; the Jewish Quarter in Hebron; Atarot and Neve Ya’akov, north of Jerusalem; the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem; Tel Or/Naharayim – the hydro-electric power station built by Pinhas Rutenberg by the Jordan River south of Lake Kinneret; and Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip.”
Since Arabs erroneously assumed that Jews would treat them the way they treated Jews, they fled.
[Ed.: Hanan Ashrawi contrived that reversal (“Right of Return”) for her so-called “Balestinians” directly from Israeli law regarding Jews’ right of return to Israel. She was, in fact, the first female representative of the so-called “Balestinians” who after her American education, promulgated the art of reversalism into the common dialectic.
The former US ambassador to Israel who can’t get basic facts right By Moshe Phillips
February 28, 2024 – Despite having a career dedicated to the Israel-Arab conflict Martin Indyk can’t manage to get even the most basic facts correct.
Martin Indyk has spent his entire professional life immersed in the Arab-Israeli conflict, holding prominent positions in advocacy groups, think tanks, and the State Department. So how is it that he still can’t get the most basic facts about the conflict right?
In the March-April 2024 issue of Foreign Affairs, Indyk makes the case for why it would be great to have a sovereign Palestinian state as soon as possible. Yet again and again throughout the essay, he makes glaring errors in referring to key aspects of the history and nature of the Arab war against Israel.
For someone who served as ambassador to Israel and Assistant Secretary of State (among other positions), Indyk is either surprisingly ignorant or surprisingly careless about his area of presumed expertise. Either possibility is alarming.
Let’s start with Indyk’s “history” of the idea of creating a Palestinian state. He wants to show that the proposal has deep roots. It’s not just something that he and his State Department friends cooked up last week; it has a tradition. Because, presumably, something with a long history is less scary than something which seems new and radical. He writes: “The two-state solution dates back to at least 1937, when a British commission suggested a partition of the British mandate territory…”
Indyk is off by fifteen years. The two-state solution began in 1922, not 1937. And what happened in 1922 was not just some British proposal—the British actually implemented it. They physically partitioned the Palestine Mandate territory, giving the 78% east of the Jordan River to the Arabs, leaving only 22% on the western side for the Jews.
The serial killer who might be the first president of Palestine MOSHE PHILLIPS
Marwan Barghouti is serving five consecutive sentences of life imprisonment.
Georgios Tsibouktzakis was born and raised in the picturesque northern Greek town of Evosmos, a name that means “pleasant scent.” Among its notable sites is the Agios Athanasios Church, which is more than 200 years old.
The Tsibouktzakis family must have been impoverished because upon completing primary school, at age 12, Georgios set aside his studies and found a job in a local fabric factory.
At some point, young Georgios experienced a religious awakening. He adopted an extremely humble lifestyle, giving away his belongings, including his most precious possession—his bicycle—and entering a Greek Orthodox religious order.
After studying at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Georgios decided to go to Israel. And why not? Christianity was born in the Land of Israel. The Christian Bible is filled with references to Judea (although there is no mention of “Palestine,” for some reason). As a devout man of faith, he wanted to spend the rest of his life in the Holy Land.
In 1990, Georgios arrived in Israel and resumed his religious studies at a local Greek Orthodox seminary. After three years, he became a monk and was given the name Father Germanos. Eventually, he was ordained a priest and deacon. He was assigned to live at St. George’s Monastery.
A word about St. George’s. Despite the frequent lies by Arab propagandists and their supporters about Israel supposedly mistreating Christians, in fact, the country is home to numerous monasteries such as St. George’s, which all operate as freely as any Jewish religious institution. St. George’s is located on a prime piece of real estate just 12 miles outside of Jerusalem.
ICC Language Indicates Bias against Israel By Moshe Phillips
March 3, 2024 – PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (JNS) — The International Criminal Court is examining Israel’s policies in what it calls the “occupied Palestinian West Bank.” But how can the court possibly render a fair verdict when that very term is a complete and utter falsehood?
For as long as any of us can remember, the phrase “occupied Palestinian West Bank” has been a regular part of the vocabulary used by the media, as well as the political and diplomatic world. The fact that those words have been around for a long time doesn’t make them true.
Contemporary American English includes all sorts of names and phrases that don’t mean what they actually suggest. “French fries” are not French. “Koala bears” are not bears. “Driveways” are for parking, not driving—and parkways are the opposite. That’s all great fodder for stand-up comedians who specialize in observational humor.
But the way the terms “occupation,” “Palestinian” and “West Bank” are used is no joking matter.
“Occupation” was accurate for a short period of time. But Israel’s “occupation” of the territories in question ended long ago.
The Israelis first occupied those areas in self-defense during the Six-Day War in June 1967. Between 1993 and 1995, however, that occupation came to an end. It was replaced by an agreed-upon division of the region between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The Israelis withdrew from the parts where 98% of the Palestinian Arabs reside. There are no Israeli troops, no Israeli administration and no Israeli military governor there anymore. So who exactly is “occupying” it? The Palestinian Authority, of course.
The P.A. has its own armed troops (euphemistically called “security forces”), its own administration and its own governors. It runs the courts, the police, the schools, the news media and everything else that constitutes an occupation.
The only part of the area that Israel occupies is where Israelis reside. And that Israeli presence is stipulated by the Oslo Accords. Not that Israel’s right to the area is based on the Oslo agreement, of course. It’s based on 3,000-plus years of continuous Jewish inhabitation and many centuries of Jewish national sovereignty—not to mention international law and the Hebrew Bible. But the fact is that the P.A. agreed to it.
“Palestinian” is not an authentic term either, which is to say that when the Romans coined that term in ancient times, that did not automatically confer “Palestinian” ethnicity upon the people who were living there. Of course, in principle, new nationalities can be invented, as some of the Arabs living in that region eventually did.

Democratic rhetoric takes a perilous turn for the Jews Caroline B. Glick
Democratic movers and shakers are grafting antisemitism onto the party’s DNA. Op-ed.
Mar 3, 2024, 11:01 PM (GMT+2) – ( JNS) In an appearance this week on MSNBC, veteran Democratic political strategist James Carville made a stunning statement. Speaking of the uncommitted vote in Michigan, Carville said that it will be Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s fault if Biden loses the election in November.
“There is a problem all across the country [with Democratic voters who will punish Biden if he continues to support Israel] and I hope that the President and [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken can get this thing calmed down, because if it don’t [sic.] get calmed down before the Democratic convention in Chicago it’s going to be a very ugly time in Chicago. I promise you that. They’re gonna have to tell Bibi Netanyahu, ‘Hey dude, we’re not gonna lose our election because you’re scared to go to jail.”
Carville’s bit about jail was part of a larger conspiracy theory that he has been peddling since shortly after the Hamas-led Palestinian Arab invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7. That theory has it that Netanyahu only decided to wage a war to eradicate Hamas in order to deflect public attention from his criminal trial. Beyond the obscenity of the contention itself, the fact is that since Netanyahu’s trial opened two years ago, the prosecution’s entire case has fallen apart. But the new wrinkle that Carville incorporated is that it will be Israel’s fault if Biden loses.
Carville is far from alone in making this claim. Pro-Hamas Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) is one of its most outspoken champions. Ahead of the Michigan primary last Tuesday, Tlaib led a campaign of pro-Hamas Muslims and progressives to convince like-minded Michiganders to vote “Uncommitted” to show their opposition to what they perceive as Biden’s support for Israel in its war against Hamas.
Hamas won the UK elections Giulio Meotti
Delightful multiculturalism! Note the the mayors of Birmingham, Leeds, Blackburn, Sheffield, Oxford, Oldham and Rockdale.
Mar 4, 2024, 5:01 PM (GMT+2)- “From the river to the sea,” roared Scotsman George “Gaza” Galloway, Saddam Hussein’s friend who swam with Fidel Castro, who doesn’t mind wearing designer clothes while leading his followers like an Islamic cleric.
“This is for Gaza”, Galloway said. The left-wing populist blowhard took away Labour’s two decades of dominance in Rochdale, the former Manchester-area textile town scene of the infamous child abuse scandal, in which Pakistani immigrants committed horrific sex crimes against teenage girls working class white women for many years.
Labour’s candidate, Azhar Ali, told a party meeting that Israel had “allowed” the October 7 Hamas massacre to take place, to give it the “green light” to invade Gaza.
-In recent days, the Conservatives ousted the Tory vice-president who had accused the mayor of London of being “controlled by Islamists”.
-Meanwhile, a conservative minister has resigned because he says he doesn’t want to end up killed by Islamic extremists who killed a colleague.
-The former prime minister, Liz Truss, just said at a conference in America that she fears Islamic parties will take power in various cities.
-The issue is also raised by former Home Secretary Suella Braverman (forced to resign because she wanted a crackdown on immigration) in her article in the Telegraph, in which she states: “This is no longer the great country I knew. Islamists are forcing Britain to submit.”
Meanwhile, “no white theaters” are arriving in London this week: theatrical performances where only black and colored spectators will be admitted to the city. As the producers explained, the goal is to create “an environment where an all-Black audience can experience and discuss an event free from the white gaze.”
Damn you, Mr. Churchill!
All this happens because Europe doesn’t count the immigration’s percentages. Rochdale today has a 30 per cent Islamic population. This is certified not by some conspiracy site, but by the New York Times. The city has already had an Islamic mayor.
Like the mayors of Birmingham, Leeds, Blackburn, Sheffield, Oxford, Oldham and Rockdale.
Delightful multiculturalism!
70 Years in the Making, The Marxist Takeover of America is Falling Apart (Video 30:19) By Grant Stinchfield
Mar. 4, 2024 11:00 am – The Marxists have been trying to take down America for over 70 years now. It is clear to me they underestimated us. The war against freedom is now at a crossroads. When the anti-freedom communists lose their battle to stop Donald Trump, it may just be the final nail in their coffin.
America is not what it once was, but it is still the greatest, most powerful nation in the world. Let me remind you, our power does not come from our leaders. It comes from the people.
And the people are waking up. Former Soviet Union, KGB agent, Yuri Bezmanov talked about the communist battle to steal American minds. His words still ring true today. Except the timeline. The communists expected victory long ago. They have made strides, but they have not won. What these Marxists and Leninists hoped for, has not worked out. Their victory against us is taking much longer than they ever expected.
This podcast is about why I have faith in America and the American people to fight back and win.
[Ed.: I strongly hope that Grant Stinchfield is right, and that I am completely wrong.]
Countering Pro-Palestine Propaganda Part 6: Palestinian Refugees’ Right of Return by A.J. Caschetta

But after the 1948 war in which Israel fought off its neighbors and won its independence, the Arabs who were encouraged to leave their homes and join one of the invading armies were not allowed to become citizens of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, or Lebanon.

Since Arabs erroneously assumed that Jews would treat them the way they treated Jews, they fled.
Escalation Towards an Independent Terrorist State by Nils A. Haug
March 3, 2024 at 5:00 am
- Both US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron reveal their simplistic, and somewhat imperialist, Western approach to a complex Middle Eastern situation, irrespective of the aims and intentions of the two parties chiefly involved: the radical Islamists of Gaza and the West Bank, and the State of Israel itself.
- “They [Hamas] told us in all of their statements that their charter is to destroy Israel and exterminate the Jews. Other countries have said the same thing. It’s also in the Houthis’ charter. It’s in Iran’s direct messaging. I think that when they tell you they want to kill you, you should believe that. I think that’s the lesson.” — Safra Catz, CEO of Oracle, ynetnews.com, February 24, 2024.
- Realistically, the Palestinian claim to Gaza is based on tenuous grounds. Gaza is not the traditional homeland of the so-called Palestinian people. They are simply a collection of nomadic Arabs who forged that identity for political expediency. This arrangement was openly stated by the late PLO executive committee member, Zoheir Moshen, in an interview with James Dorsey for the Dutch newspaper Trouw, on March 31, 1977: “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak about the existence of a Palestinian people since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.”
- Even if a political compromise were reached over Gaza, or, the “1949 Armistice Line” as in the revised 2017 Hamas charter, the violent struggle for control over the rest of Israel, particularly the West Bank — the “heart” of Israel — will persist.
How the Biden Administration Quietly Punishes Israel Shoshana Bryen
March 1, 2024 – Unable to persuade Israel to subordinate its national security policy to the dictates of the U.S. government and its allies in the European Union, Qatar and the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, the Biden administration has initiated sanctions and pressures of varying sorts against Israel and Israeli entities. Each has the potential for escalation, and each should be seen as an opening gambit.
The most recent move is an American investigation of the Israeli company Finkelstein Metals, accusing it of receiving what the U.S. considers illegal subsidies from the Israeli government because it is in a government development zone. What is Finkelstein Metals, and why is it important?
It is, according to The Jerusalem Post, the only Israeli company that produces brass, bronze, and copper alloy products, and it is the sole supplier of metal bars for the producing ammunition for Iron Dome. Ron Tomer, president of the Manufacturers’ Association of Israel, warned: “This is an unfounded lawsuit, which may lead to the closure of the factory. If this case is successful, it may harm other Israeli companies and is contrary to existing trade agreements.”
It is the potential for escalation that counts.
But this could also affect U.S. defense programming. “Existing trade agreements” cover a number of key Israeli systems in the U.S. military, including Trophy reactive armor, which protects American tanks for the Army and Marine Corps; and the Iron Fist protective system on Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Major Israeli subsectors for defense include parts for aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles, air-control technology, electronic components for land, air and sea platforms, airborne and ground-based engines, electromechanical devices, microwave components, and sensors.
Israeli capabilities crisscross the American defense sector to the benefit of both countries.

Why the World Cares About Gaza and Not About Africa – Charles Jacobs & Ben Poser | Top Story [53:19] JNS TV
Feb 1, 2024 – Many are not aware, but slavery and sex trafficking has never ended in Africa. But while the human rights community seems obsessed with “genocide” in Palestine, no one really pays attention to the massive human rights violations happening to black people in Africa. Why are human rights groups so selective? Why does the media gravitate towards and champion the rights of some while others are ignored?
This week on Top Story, JNS Editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin speaks with the co-founder of Americans for Peace and Tolerance Charles Jacobs and executive director of the American Anti-Slavery Group Ben Poser, both of whom are involved in raising awareness of African slaves and freeing them in some cases.
CHAPTER 8: Constructivism Impedes Reality-Testing by Linda Goudsmit
Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier—Reality Is [upcoming release April 2024]
March 3, 2024 – Constructivism is a learning theory that has its beginnings in the educational philosophy of John Dewey (1859–1952) and the work of Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget (1896–1980) and Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky (1896–1934).
Piaget believed that human beings pass through four stages of cognitive development based on our brain’s growing ability to think in new ways. His theory of cognitive development focuses on childhood and education. In Piaget’s view the learner is a unique individual, whose childhood interactions and explorations influence his development. Piaget believed that children act on their environment to learn, and that the function of social interaction is to move the child away from the self-absorption of early childhood. Piaget saw childhood development in universal human terms.
Lev Vygotsky, on the other hand, focused on learning as a social process and developed the sociocultural theory of development called Social Constructivism. Vygotsky considered the learner to be a social being, whose development is influenced by environmental factors. He saw childhood development in culturally determined terms, and believed that children interact socially with their environment in order to learn the cultural values of their specific society. Vygotsky believed that behavior cannot be understood outside its cultural setting, and that culture actually shapes cognition.
The divergent perspectives of Piaget and Vygotsky parallel the differences in educational philosophies and pedagogy that we see in traditional education versus today’s politicized education.
‘A Storm Is Coming for The Guilty” Warns Neil Oliver. [18:09] BY PATRICIA HARRITY
MARCH 1, 2024 – “You don’t get to shape the world … to the advantage of a tiny minority, to the detriment of the hundreds of millions,” says Neil Oliver on his YouTube channel. He adds that millions of lives have been “ruined forever” by Big State, Big Pharma, and Big Media. “The last four years have been the “most dangerous and blatant assault on freedom and civil rights in the history of humankind”
Here is an excerpt of Neil Oliver’s thoughts and observations:
“It’s palpable that the anger of citizens is rising. It’s been on a sort of slow simmer for years. It seems to be coming to a boil. The heat has been turned up, or the heat that’s already there is somehow building an intensity.
“You can’t point at any single place on the map, really, and say, here’s the seat of it. The building, anger and frustration and heat and pain is everywhere in the West, certainly. And it’s for all sorts of reasons. There are many symptoms, all coming from the same disease.“By now, we’ve all endured, what is it, three, four years of the most dangerous and blatant assault on freedom and civil rights in the history of humankind.
That’s a fact. And I make no apologies for bringing this up over and over, for worrying at this like a terrier with a rat — because the sustained abuse of our species, inflicted on an unprecedented scale, even after all these years, it remains unaddressed, unconfessed, and without consequences for the guilty — so far.“The guilty have grown sore, have been so confident, blasé, that they don’t even seek any longer to deny the coordinated global collusion of Big State, Big Pharma, Big Media, wholesale collusion that ended completely or ruined forever uncounted millions of lives.
And it is millions of lives across the West, around the world, directly or indirectly, because of policies and practices that have been in place …“You don’t get to shape the world, reshape the world in your own image, to your advantage, to the advantage of a tiny minority, to the detriment of the hundreds of millions, indeed the billions, and then play the victim when someone somewhere says, ‘Enough.’“A person cornered, a person left with nothing, or who feels he has nothing left to lose, is finally free in a fundamental sense, free to act in any way that suits.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a storm coming. And those who bloody-mindedly sowed the seeds of the whirlwind, who reaped the benefits of so doing for so long, are finally, finally feeling the change in the wind.”

The Communist Revolution is here. Now what? TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
MAR 1, 2024 – I was struggling to decide what the next topic should be for my newsletter – and then this happened. Emerald Robinson posted this warning on Twitter (X):
EMERALD ROBINSON: “Allow me to make a prediction: the Biden regime is not going to give up power in 2024. This will shock a majority of Americans who still live mentally in a free country that exists only in their memory now. You should spend the next 8 months preparing for the end of America.”
Many people did not like Emerald’s prediction. Several people angrily replied to her post…
CHINOIR: “Shut up with this doom porn. We’re going to win, and save America.”
SCHWEIKERT: “I predict the opposite. Trump will win. Anyone remember when they said *Clinton won’t leave office? *Obama won’t leave office? *Trump won’t leave office? They always did. They always will.”
TRITE: “This isn’t helpful, Emerald. Time to put on your big boy pants and fight back. They have always been this corrupt. Trump just brought it all into the light so we can do something about it. Don’t become a black pill. We are winning this war. Don’t let people tell you any different.”
TATUM: “No, Emerald. You are awesome but this is negative. America is Americans. Armed Americans. Lots of them. With Constitutional rights.”
Z: “You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Only complaining about it makes you part of the problem.”
But, IMHO, the most important response to Emerald’s doom & gloom prediction came from Xi Van Fleet – a woman who survived Communism in Mao’s China and is here to tell us to stand up against the same thing happening in America!
XI VAN FLEET: “No Emerald, we don’t need your predictions. We need ACTION. Understand. Get organized. Fight back. We need courage when we fight for our own survival! Fight as if your life depends on it, because it does!!!!”
Many do not know that the CPUSA (Communist Party USA) was founded two years after the success of the Russian Revolution in the Soviet Union and two years before the founding of the Chinese Communist Party. Communism has been here in America for over 100 years and now they have come out in the open. Why now? After 100 years of cultivation and indoctrination, they believe it is their time to take over America!
Xi Van Fleet just gave an interview to Tucker about the details of the Communist cultural revolution she sees in America because she lived it herself in Communist China. I listened to it all and I think you should too. I’ve heard her speak before but she made some new important points and has a new book out. Here’s a transcript.
