World cannot continue to ignore what led to 9-11-2001 and 10-7-2023

Moshe Dann discusses the tragedy of September 11, 2001 in the USA, and October 7, 2023 in Israel:

The attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 is embedded in America’s consciousness as a nation. Jews in Israel and around the world share the pain of that event as we celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year on that date this year. We, too, suffered a national disaster when Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli communities on October 7, 2023.

Both events were perpetrated by Muslim terrorists with similar ideologies; both left deep scars. Both were wake-up calls that initiated wars, changed perspectives, and engaged new strategies.

The world’s reaction to these events, however, has been strikingly different. Expressions of outrage over 9/11 and support for America’s response are contrasted by support for Hamas and Islamist terrorist organizations, while condemning Israel for defending itself.

Like the war against Al Qaeda, the war against Hamas and its supporters is not over. Although largely defeated, they remain active, dangerous and determined.

Everyone who is interested knows what happened on 9/11. Many people have written about it and have produced documentaries about it, but too few have asked what the attack means, its significance, and its connection to Islamism. Prof Efriam Karsh wrote about this in his book, "Islamic Imperialism: a history", which explains the strategy of Islamist terrorist organizations.

Connecting 9/11 to other Islamic-based suicidal attacks, such as the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, and attacks on civilians and civilian targets is essential. It’s what the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan of “Civilizational Jihad" means.

Most people know, despite conspiracy theories being spread on social media, that the attack on 9/11 was carried out by a group of mainly Saudi terrorists who were connected to Al Qaeda, a terrorist organization. These Al Qaeda terrorists were funded and assisted by the Saudi government and Muslim “charities," and by Saudis living in California and other states. Several Saudi terrorists who carried out the attack were enrolled in flight schools and training programs in the US where they were learning how to hijack and fly airplanes to use them as weapons of mass destruction.

Why were they supported by the Saudi government and Muslim donors?

Even today, Saudi Arabia can't be trusted in virtually every way, shape and form, and 911 Families, in example, are rightfully demanding answers on the issues. The subject of Islam is something that also needs to be pondered when discussing tragedies like the 2015 jihadist attacks in France at the Bataclan, and everything must be done to demand answers there too.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the issues and made a point that there can't be any "buts":

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday marked 25 years since the September 11 attacks, remembering the victims and those who risked their lives to save others and drawing a parallel between the attacks and the October 7 massacre in Israel.

“25 years ago, thousands of innocent people went to work in the World Trade Center in New York. They never came home," Netanyahu said.

“For those who know such loss, it never leaves you. America remembers them. Israel remembers them."

Netanyahu paid tribute to the emergency personnel and others who acted during the attacks.

“We remember the firefighters who ran up the stairs while everyone else was running down. We remember the police officers, the first responders, the passengers who bravely fought back on the hijacked planes, and we remember the evil that murdered them."

“On September 11th, America was hit by pure evil. On October 7th, Israel was hit by it again," the Prime Minister stated.

Netanyahu rejected calls to understand the motivations or grievances of terrorists, saying, “There is no context for burning families alive. There is no grievance that justifies murdering innocents deliberately."

“There is no ‘yes, but’ when it comes to terrorism," he added.

The Prime Minister also pointed to chants of “Death to America, death to Israel," saying that the hostility towards the two countries stems from the same source.

“They hate both of us for the same reason, because America and Israel stand for freedom, for democracy, for civilization. For life."

More precisely, because the Religion of Peace dictates it. And even Netanyahu's going to have to consider the time's come to address the challenging issues more clearly.

Update: there was a special Memorial event using drones to recreate the WTC with light beams in NYC 2 nights before:

A drone show recreated the Twin Towers in light over New York Harbor on Wednesday ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terror attack.

The show featured 2,977 drones — one for each victim killed when hijackers crashed planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and rural southwestern Pennsylvania.

It was organized by families of 9/11 victims and New York Fire Department members who responded to the attack at the World Trade Center, where 2,753 civilians, firefighters and law enforcement officers were killed.

An important form of Memorial, to be sure. But will the awful Zohran Mamdani show up at the 911 Memorial today? If he does, it'll be a humiliation.

European left-wing activist arrested for sexually harassing minor

About a week ago, this disturbing report from the Barkai district came up:

A European left-wing activist was arrested on Saturday near the Barkai neighborhood at the entrance to the settlement of Carmel in Judea and Samaria, following an incident in which he was filmed clinging to a 10-year-old Jewish boy in a manner that raised suspicion of sexual harassment. The boy's father filed a complaint with the police, and the suspect was detained at the scene until officers arrived. He was then arrested and taken in for questioning.

The incident began when three children, ages 10 to 12, made their way from the settlement of Carmel toward the Barkai neighborhood. About 50 meters (164 feet) from the neighborhood, the children encountered Palestinians and foreign left-wing activists who were in the area, and at some point, the group began to obstruct their path. During the confrontation, the suspect was filmed clinging to the 10-year-old boy, in a manner that led to suspicion of sexual harassment.

Residents of the neighborhood, who noticed what was happening and the children's distress, arrived at the scene and detained the suspect until security forces arrived. Police arrested him, and the boy's father filed a formal complaint. [...]

Following the incident, Eliram Azulay, head of the South Hebron Hills Regional Council, criticized the activity of these activists in the area. "We have been experiencing a long period of provocations from anti-Israel activists who live near the Barkai neighborhood and try every way possible to disrupt residents' daily routine," he said. He added, "This time, it's a dangerous and criminal red line that must not be met with silence. Harming children is a serious crime, and we expect the Israel Police and the justice system to enforce the full severity of the law against the attacker, without compromise."

This only confirms why said activists are siding with the Islamofascists there - because they agree with the beliefs of the Religion of Peace. The offender should be imprisoned and exiled permanently for what he committed.

An Islamic country wanted to sign a peace accord in order to give Israel a false sense of security

Something that shouldn't be too surprising was recently reported in the news, and it should make clear why the Religion of Peace will not make it possible to lead a civilized relationship with an Arabic country so long as they continue to adhere to said religion:

Several days have passed since the dramatic, earth-shattering revelation that a leader of one neighboring country advised another neighboring country to sign some sort of sham agreement with Israel in order to lull it into a false sense of security and then launch a surprise attack. The report received extensive media coverage, and the reactions were, naturally, various expressions of shock and concern. The underlying report said officials from one country had urged another to reach an agreement with Israel as a tactical measure while preparing for a future military confrontation. The identities of the countries remain under military censorship.

I, too, insignificant little me, was shocked and appalled. Almost like that girl I once was, back when the Middle East was still new to me, who could not understand how the man in the keffiyeh could spout clichés about peace in English, incite terrorism in Arabic, and still get photographed with world leaders on the White House lawn; who could not understand how people were being blown apart on buses while elsewhere people were receiving prizes. As a child, I thought there must surely be something I was missing, some dramatic, closely guarded detail that defied ordinary logic and somehow, almost supernaturally, justified this circus.

Don't keep yourselves in suspense. There was no such thing. So thoroughly was there no such thing that even if someone took a putty knife to the floors of the censorship authorities' basements, they would not find a shred of evidence justifying the Israeli obsession, born more or less alongside the state itself, with making peace with our enemies.

Is it really far-fetched to assume that even back then, when peace fever was burning almost as fiercely as the fuel tanks of Jerusalem's No. 18 buses, there were reports resembling this week's revelation about the true intentions of Arab leaders, but the censor did not permit them to be published? How much are our worldviews really based on facts if we are unaware of most of them? And how meaningful is our choice of leaders if the issues that truly matter are never discussed at all?

And what's really grating is how the military won't allow anybody to know just which country it was who wanted to pull a taqqiya act upon Israel. What if it's Syria under Ahmed al-Sharaa? I don't know at all, but men like him certainly didn't improve the perceptions of such countries when they commit the persecution and under the table tactics they specialize in.

This is very disturbing info, and should make clear why such countries, with the Religion of Peace now dominating, cannot be expected to be honest about their intentions.

If Piker's not sorry for what he says about Israel, then he's not sorry for what he said about the USA either

Hasan Piker's one of the most repulsive influencers in the Democrat party now, and what's told here should make clear nothing he says should be taken at face value:

Hasan Piker, a 35-year-old American streamer who broadcasts on Twitch to millions of followers, is one of the rising voices in Democratic politics. He describes himself as a Marxist, has said America "deserved 9/11," called for Zionists to be treated like neo-Nazis and declared that he would choose Hamas over Israel "every single time."

In recent months, he has moved from the screen to the campaign trail, becoming a prominent figure in Abdul El-Sayed's campaign. El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic US Senate primary last week and could become the first Muslim elected to the US Senate. [...]

Despite his Marxist politics, the business he runs is thoroughly capitalist. According to Rolling Stone, nearly 50,000 subscribers pay $6 a month for his channel. After Twitch takes its 30% cut, that translates into more than $2 million in annual revenue.

Then he's obviously as much a grifter as he is an enemy of the USA and Israel. And no doubt, he harbors the same sentiments towards Europe (which has its own share of self-haters too).

The remark most closely associated with Piker came in August 2019, during a livestream in which he watched Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw being interviewed by Joe Rogan. Piker mocked Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who lost his right eye to an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, and referred to the fighter who wounded him as a "brave soldier."

"America deserved 9/11, dude," Piker said during the same broadcast. "Fuck it, I'm saying it. We totally brought it upon ourselves." Only after two days of criticism did he walk the comment back in an interview with his uncle, Cenk Uygur, calling the remark "inappropriate" and describing it as a failed attempt at satire.

Blatant anti-Israel rhetoric

When it comes to Israel, however, Piker has not backed down. In January, he wrote on X that "Hamas is a thousand times better than a fascist settler-colonial apartheid state." When confronted with the statement in April on Pod Save America, one of the most influential podcasts in Democratic politics, he refused to soften it. "I stand by that," he said.

In that case, he's not sorry for what he said about the USA either. Some of these monsters pretend certain things if they think it'll cause people to lose interest in them, but it's not so simple, and men like Piker can always continue causing damage behind the scenes. And they can always boomerang back on their previous obscenities, along with concocting more horrific ones.

Here's some more about the podcasts Piker's been speaking on lately, and he's continued to make offensive statements, and now tries to make it sound like he's "walking back" what he said earlier, even though his excuses are very weak:

Anti-American streamer Hasan Piker said he “should have phrased things better” discussing his viral comments that America deserved 9/11 on Mehdi Hasan’s podcast two weeks ago.

The Hill reported on the podcast appearance, where Piker said he “could’ve phrased the statement ‘America deserved 9/11’ in a better way but held firm to his frequent use of “pejoratives” in describing racial groups.

One more clue why this is a most truly disgusting man who has no business being in politics any more than el-Sayed. Tragically, it's sadly possible that the latter will be elected to the Senate, and that's going to be very awful if it happens. And "satire"? That's one of the most repellent "defenses" possible to make. It's utterly sick. Piker shouldn't be allowed near the 911 Memorial any more than Zohran Mamdani.

Muslim rapist given 21 years for assault on mother in Gedera

A Muslim rapist who attacked a mother in Gedera while her children were in the house has been given 21 years in prison and a huge fine:

The Central District Court in Lod sentenced Barkat Abu Issa to 21 years in prison on Wednesday for breaking into a woman’s Gedera home, binding and raping her while her three young children were inside.

Abu Issa, 25, was convicted following a trial of rape under aggravated circumstances, burglary of a residential building, and abuse of a minor over the February 2023 attack.

The court also ordered him to pay NIS 200,000 in compensation, comprising NIS 150,000 to the woman and NIS 50,000 to her son, who was two years old at the time of the attack.

The panel directly addressed the woman at the end of its ruling, saying that she had suffered an unbearable and life-altering assault and continued to contend with its effects on her and her children.

What the monster did was an utterly perverse act, and his sentence is not enough. He should be thrown in an isolated dungeon for centuries.

USA administration cannot abandon the Iranian people who're oppressed

Jamie Fly and Katie LaRoque at Freedom House make a vital point why it's wrong for the USA administration to take any steps that would enable a sadistic dictatorship to remain in place and continue subjecting its citizens to horror stories:

In early 2026, when Iranian surgeon Alireza Golchini saw protesters with gunshot and stab wounds from the regime, he did what doctors are trained to do: he treated them. For that, Iranian authorities arrested him, charged him with “waging war against God,” and threatened him with a sentence that can carry the death penalty. His alleged crime was not violence or espionage; it was providing medical care to wounded Iranians.

His story is a reminder of a simple reality: the Islamic Republic is one of the world’s most repressive regimes. Just recently, a woman was sentenced to 74 lashes for singing in a YouTube video without a hijab, and a 17-year-old swimmer and boxer was sentenced to death for participating in a protest. The regime just executed another dissident, bringing the total number of political executions in 2026 to at least 45.

[...] For the Iranian people, however, the US-Iran deal as currently formulated is likely to deepen repression. It will strengthen the authorities that only months ago were imprisoning, executing, and killing Iranians in the streets for demanding basic freedoms and improved living conditions.

Late in 2025 and early 2026, millions of Iranians took to the streets in the most significant challenge the Islamic Republic has faced in decades. Authorities answered with a crackdown that left thousands dead and tens of thousands arrested. The regime also imposed a near-total internet shutdown that lasted for months, cutting Iranians off from one another and from a world that might otherwise have witnessed the scale of the violence. Yet reports indicate that a final agreement could bring this same regime sweeping sanctions relief, access to frozen assets, and billions of dollars in new investment. For Iranians who risked their lives demanding change, the likely outcome is not a more moderate government, but a more entrenched and repressive one.

[...] At a minimum, the United States should make any relief conditional on five things: the release of Iran’s political prisoners, an end to the executions handed down in protest cases, a binding guarantee against another nationwide internet shutdown, and the return of the Americans now imprisoned in Iran or barred from leaving—six by the assessment of the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation. Tehran should also be required to come clean about the fate of kidnapped former FBI Agent Bob Levinson and help his family recover his remains. These are among the clearest and most immediate signs of whether Iranian authorities are prepared to act in good faith.

See, these are vital reasons to topple a savage dictatorship, along with exiling monsters from what you would think civilized countries. I notice that Federalist editor John Daniel Davidson, who previously took disturbing positions that put his supposed understandings of reality under question marks, is now seemingly making valid points about the state of Europe while discussing SCOTUS' defeatist positions on birthright citizenship in the USA:

In countries like France and Britain, which have large numbers of Muslim migrants, this means multigenerational communities of non-citizens with a totally different cultural and political worldview — one that’s openly hostile to the host country. They will eventually, as they are beginning to do now, carve out their own insular polities within the nation, Balkanizing the country and destroying the possibility of republican self-government or even the possibility of national survival. An Islamified Britain will no longer be Britain, but something else.

Obviously, this can't go unopposed, but then, why did Dumberson oppose the war against Iran? Considering their Islamic tyrants were financing jihadism overseas, they could also be financing infiltration into the USA through illegal immigration, and does that sit well with Dumberson? Does it sit well with him that an innocent and defenseless woman could already have been tortured over an Orwellian Thoughtcrime? If he's not willing to approve of taking serious action against sadists in Islamofascist countries like Iran, then this current editorial of his rings totally hollow. That's why what he's saying now should be approached with caution, because it's not enough to defend just your home country, and to turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the plight of innocent foreigners in distress is offensive, morally or otherwise.

If the Trump administration continues to allow the Islamofascist dictatorship in Iran to continue governing, it's always possible that could ruin election chances in mid-term. And if that's what happens, it'll make clear that when serious action isn't put to use, no matter the turnout, you cannot be surprised if the public will ultimately be disillusioned with the notion certain movements like conservatives really support responsibility, and applying equal standards everywhere. Also note how the Daily Caller is writing reports that're potentially hostile to Israel, which seem to be lamenting that Israel's military wanted to terminate "negotiators" from Iran, and you know something's wrong. If those very "negotiators" harbor Islamofascist beliefs themselves and are loyal to the dictatorship, why are they considered valuable? There are no doubt movements in the country that can be considered far better candidates for replacing the tyrants, and refusing to consider them only worsens the situation.

Nukhba jihadists must face charges for their sexual violence crimes

Sharon Zaghagi Pinhas reminds everyone that the sexual violence committed by Hamas/Nukhba jihadists in Gaza during October 7, 2023 cannot be forgotten:

One central question has not been addressed: whether the Nukhba terrorists will be prosecuted for the sex crimes committed on October 7 and in captivity. Despite repeated attempts around the world to silence and deny them, there is no doubt: grave sex crimes were committed strategically, systematically and on a large scale throughout the attack and in captivity. Many of the female and male victims were murdered, whether during the attack or afterward, and many of the crimes were committed deliberately in full view of others in order to sow terror. All publicly accessible sources clearly indicate that the Nukhba terrorists were driven by an extremist ideology rooted in an explicit intent to commit genocide and in the total denial of the humanity of Israel's population.

Since October 7, I have taken part, together with my colleagues in the Dinah Project at the Rackman Center at Bar-Ilan University, in a difficult and exhausting struggle in which the State of Israel and many civil society organizations joined forces to bring recognition and justice for the female and male victims. [...]

After all this, it is inconceivable that the indictments against the Nukhba terrorists will not include charges over sex crimes. Yet for now, all official bodies are silent whenever the question of filing indictments over the sex crimes is raised.

This silence is deeply troubling.

The sex crimes were committed as part of a mass assault by Nukhba terrorists, aimed at dehumanization and genocide. The terrorists operated inside an inconceivable "vacuum" in which everything was "permitted," murder, massacre and sex crimes alike.

Legally, in such a case, all the terrorists who chose to take part in the mass assault can be held jointly responsible for all the crimes committed during the attack, including the sex crimes, even if they did not physically commit them themselves.

And all those guilty must definitely must be held responsible, and severely punished for their repulsive crimes.

Anyway, it's good to inform that the Knesset approved a law to prosecute the monsters:

The Knesset plenum approved the second and third readings of the bill to prosecute the perpetrators of the October 7 massacre on Monday evening.

The law, which passed with a rare consensus of 93 supporters, establishes the legal infrastructure to try Hamas terrorists and their accomplices for the most heinous crimes committed during the murderous attack. The legislation sets the maximum penalty at death.

Furthermore, a dramatic reservation proposed by MKs Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionist Party) and Yulia Malinovsky (Yisrael Beytenu) was approved, stipulating that terrorists tried under this framework will never be released from prison, even as part of future prisoner exchange deals.

Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin welcomed the approval, stating, "This law ensures that the terrorists and their accomplices will stand trial and face justice, including the imposition of death sentences. From the depths of the horrific massacre we have risen - for the memory of the murdered, for their families, for those wounded in body and soul, for those who were taken hostage, and for the entire nation - to fulfill our supreme moral obligation: to bring the perpetrators of this ghastly slaughter to justice. I thank Constitution Committee chairman MK Simcha Rothman, MK Yulia Malinovsky, and all those involved in the vital work of advancing this legislation."

The news about the investigation into the Hamas' sexual violence, interestingly enough, has been covered by CNN for starters, although not without certain PC dictations in descriptions of the monsters:

Hamas militants and their allies raped, assaulted and sexually tortured their victims during and after the October 7, 2023 terror attack on southern Israel “to maximize pain and suffering,” a landmark new report has concluded.

Shared first with CNN, the report presents the most comprehensive body of evidence yet of sexual and gender-based violence against women, men and children, which it describes as “systematic, widespread, and integral to” the assault.

“The most important finding is the fact that the sexual violence on October 7 and against hostages in captivity has been a calculated strategy by Hamas,” lead author and human rights expert Cochav Elkayam-Levy told CNN.

Notice how they stick solidly with the PC term "militants" rather than "terrorists". It shouldn't have to take a genius to make clear that kind of restriction is unacceptable.

The news was also covered by the Toronto Globe and Mail, i24news, the Jerusalem Post, and here's more from them, along with an op-ed that makes clear the racist denialism must end:

With the release of this irrefutable proof, let this be the final day of October 7 denialism. For months, the world has watched as high-profile figures used their massive platforms to cast doubt on the suffering of Israeli women. Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters has been among the most vocal, publicly claiming there is “no evidence” of Hamas rapes and dismissing the testimonies of survivors and first responders as “filthy, disgusting lies.”

Similarly, activists like Samantha Pearson, a former director of a Canadian sexual assault center, and Canadian politician Sarah Jama signed a letter dismissing reports of sexual violence as “unverified accusations.”

Even entertainment industry figures, such as Susan Sarandon, have contributed to the skepticism by attempting to “contextualize” the events in ways that effectively minimize the crimes. When global feminist organizations and UN bodies waited months to even acknowledge these atrocities, they provided a shield for Hamas and signaled worldwide that the slogan “Believe Women” has a geographic and political limit.

This report removes that shield once and for all. It demands that the world stop asking for “more evidence” when the archives are already overflowing with it.

There is, however, a profound note of hope within these harrowing pages. The report’s extensive legal analysis provides a clear evidentiary basis for the investigation and prosecution of these acts as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocidal acts under international law.

Waters is one of the most stunningly repugnant figures in the entertainment industry, and no sane person should buy his music albums. And as for Sarandon, it's about time she retired from acting. And anybody who's going to deny serious crimes cannot work at a center for treating rape victims.

Update: here's more from Breitbart.

IDF worked to erase footage from October 7, 2023

A most horrific discovery was made that the same outfit that enabled sexual discrimination against female soldiers over petty issues and ignored warnings of a female observer also worked to erase footage of investigations into the October 7, 2023 massacre:

A Channel 12 report has revealed new details about the military mechanism that operated on the ground after October 7th to gain exclusive control over documentation from the massacre.

The special unit was established in 2020 as a lesson from previous operations in the Gaza Strip, and is headed by Lieutenant Colonel N. On October 7th, 2023, the unit's soldiers, all former members of elite units who received fictitious officer ranks in order to move freely, were deployed to the mission defined as "classified and complex."

The unit's mission was clear: collect every bit of footage from the massacre before anyone else lays their hands on it. The teams worked through several different means. The soldiers broke into kibbutz offices and homes to seize DVR machines from closed-circuit television systems. In the Gaza envelope communities and the Nova Festival site, the soldiers collected dozens of memory cards from dashcams. Additionally, they collected hundreds of mobile phones, belonging to both Nukhba terrorists and Israeli citizens, both the victims and the survivors. The soldiers carried military iPhones without SIM cards and uploaded the materials to an internal IDF Telegram in real-time.

Sources in the unit recounted: "We promised a guy from Be'eri that we would not delete anything and that we'd return everything, and that didn't happen. Everything was deleted. They instructed us not to do anything, and only then to return the devices. We deleted the content from some of the phones we returned, including videos and recordings of conversations between people from the Gaza envelope and the party."

According to the sources, the orders came directly from the Operations Directorate, and the orders were clear: "Collect everything and don't leave anything."

While the soldiers collected materials under fire, an "editing operations room" was opened on a floor that was rented out in a Tel Aviv office building. In the operations room, professional video editors dealt with the materials. Some of the materials were compiled into the video shown to the international audience to prove the scope of the atrocities.

According to the soldiers, a significant amount of the raw footage "disappeared" into the military system and never reached the families or civilian investigation teams.

The IDF did not comment on the report.

It shouldn't have to be told this is a most repulsive discovery, no matter how unshocking it may be to some at this point. No doubt, some people are wondering if some IDF officials were collaborators who enabled the horror to occur. And collaborators/infiltrators are a problem everywhere. What the military officials who worked to erase vital information did is offensive to the families of the victims along with the victims themselves. It's also stunning how desensitized to violence some people can be, that they'd even practically engage in cover up cliches.

Defeating Hezbollah is a main objective in Lebanon

Israel's defense minister made the point now, though there's a certain point of contention to be found here:

Defense Minister Israel Katz says Israel remains committed to disarming Hezbollah “through military and political means.”

“Israel’s policy in Lebanon has been and remains clear: the top objective is the disarmament of Hezbollah through military and political means, regardless of the Iran issue,” Katz says following an assessment with military officials.

Katz says the IDF is completing its ground offensive in southern Lebanon up to the line from which Hezbollah can launch anti-tank missiles at Israeli communities.

Well I do hope they realize that allowing the Hezbollah to remain even in northern Lebanon is unacceptable, since it would give them a chance to rebuild one day, with or without Iran's backing. Something that might be called "hudna" in Islamic doctrine. And it's high time that something were done to ensure Lebanon can one day return to having a non-Muslim majority and/or government run the country again, which would make the region safer.

The Hamas terrorist organization is rebuilding in Gaza

Some experts are warning that, while the war against Iran and Lebanon continue, the Hamas has been exploiting that time in order to rebuild its grip on Gaza:

While Israel focuses on threats from Iran and the northern front, Hamas is quietly reconstructing its infrastructure and strengthening control over Gaza, according to security experts. Footage and intelligence reveal convoys guarded by armed operatives, tunnels being refurbished, and the organization reestablishing itself economically-raising concerns among residents near the Gaza border that warnings of Hamas’s collapse have been premature.

Raphael Hayon, who operates an independent intelligence center from his home in Netivot, says he identified signs of distress and preparations for raids even before the October ceasefire. In an interview with Alon Sharvit on Kan News, Hayon warns that Hamas is undergoing a rapid reconstruction process.

He cites recent videos showing convoys of trucks entering Gaza, guarded by armed Hamas operatives. The footage illustrates Hamas’s full control over civilian areas up to the “yellow line," with personnel carrying light weapons and RPGs directing movement and setting the agenda on Gaza’s streets.

The Israeli authorities have been allowing truck convoys into Gaza without any inspection? I don't know, but if that's even remotely the case, it shows how security continues to be a serious fiasco, as is the way the Hamas is allowed to continue trying to reorganize. The IDF will have to prove they can act upon this info.

Zohran Mamdani's wife is just as bad as he is

It's been reported that the wife of New York City's first Muslim mayor was involved in anti-Israeli activities, among other things just as repugnant as what he upholds:

Despite New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s repeated attempts to shield his wife from public scrutiny by labeling her a “private person,” a series of bombshell revelations has exposed first lady Rama Duwaji as being involved in a radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) campaign.

Duwaji, a professional illustrator, is under fire for providing the creative backdrop for the DSA’s “Palestine on the Ballot” initiative — a project that used Duwaji’s animations to mobilize voters against candidates backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and promote legislation targeting Jewish charities.

The campaign also highlighted the “Not on Our Dime Act,” a controversial bill originally sponsored by Mamdani during his time in the New York State Assembly, which would target certain nonprofits accused of supporting Israeli settlements.

Critics argue Duwaji’s “behind-the-scenes” role is a facade.

“Does anybody believe she’s a private citizen?” asked Dov Hikind, founder of Americans Against Antisemitism. Hikind characterized the first lady as even more radical than the mayor, calling the couple “two peas in a pod” united by “vile hatred” for Israel.

The DSA collaboration is only the latest in a mounting pile of evidence regarding Duwaji’s radical leanings. Reports have surfaced showing that she used her social media accounts to endorse extreme, anti-Semitic rhetoric, including content that framed terrorist violence in supportive terms.

Duwaji reportedly “liked” Instagram posts on the day of the Hamas massacre that featured live-streamed footage of terrorists breaching the Gaza border and commandeering Israel Defense Forces vehicles. One post she approved of hailed the attack as “breaking the walls of apartheid.”

More recently, Duwaji liked a post that dismissed the documented mass rapes of Israeli women during the October 7 attacks as a “mass hoax” fabricated by the media.

Duwaji has also been credited with providing lead graphics for an essay by Susan Abulhawa, an activist who has described Jewish people as “vampires,” “demons,” and “rootless ghouls.”

The revelation of Duwaji’s involvement with the DSA belies Mayor Mamdani’s efforts to present a more moderate front. While Mamdani’s office issued a standard statement condemning Hamas as a terrorist organization, his wife’s digital trail suggests a much darker affinity for the “resistance” that her husband publicly critiques.

No doubt, she tries to do a lot of the stuff he might hold his cards closer to his chest about. Of course, when Mamdani himself talks about "globalizing the intifada", that's very telling too. Just another example of how NYC's become hopeless these days.

Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are joined in their shoddiness by another veteran commentator

Robert Spencer talks about whether the USA military's attack on Iran led by Donald Trump will avail the Iranian people, and discusses the now classic rotten apples on the right who're just as bad as leftists. And along the way, a most eyebrow raising example comes up:

This is what most irritated Trump’s critics on both the left and the right: the fact that America was intervening at all. Both leftists and the new, antisemitic, isolationist “woke right” that sees Israel behind every U.S. foreign policy move have insisted that any U.S. intervention in Iran will turn out to be prolonged, disastrous, and unsuccessful just as the misguided and botched interventions into Iraq and Afghanistan were.

The former conservative wunderkind and gadfly Milo Yiannopoulos, now reduced to a pathetic Jew-hating attention-seeker, wrote: “O Allah, preserve Ayatollah Khamenei – O Allah, indeed we place You in their throats, and we seek refuge in You from their evils.” He was just looking for clicks and notoriety, but he unwittingly encapsulated the “woke right” ethos: if a military action is undertaken in cooperation with Israel, it must be evil in itself, and opposed to the extent of allying oneself with the regime that screams “Death to America” and has been on a war footing against the United States since 1979. Milo is just a more flamboyant and outlandish version of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes, who are plenty outlandish as it is.

Well. This is definitely telling. I recall Yiannapoulos seemed to be trying to downplay the idea that murdering prostitutes in a video game was somehow a petty issue simply because it was all part of a mere computer program. But he ran the risk of normalizing violence in real life by minimizing it in a video game, and it's definitely not a laughing matter. As a result, Yiannapoulos made himself look as bad as that disgusting "feminist" named Anita Sarkeesian from Canada.

And now he's acting as some kind of apologist for Iran's Islamofascists?!? Groan. Just what we need, another bizarre grovelor from the fringes of the right. It's absolutely terrible. I'm not sorry he's been largely rejected based on disturbing statements he made about sexual abuse, though I suspect most leftists wouldn't care what he says at this point, save for trying to make the right look worse in every way than the left. How do creeps like Yiannapoulos manage to win favor of certain crowds before being unmasked as the frauds they are? Just plain aggravating as it's repulsive.

The Muslim Brotherhood has an agent in the Ohio assembly

Benjamin Baird reminds everybody that the Muslim Brotherhood, which the Trump administration's identified as a terrorist organization, has agents in USA politics, with one disturbing example being a Democrat representative of Columbus, Ohio:

In a highly anticipated move, the Trump administration designated factions of the global Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations last month, an executive action with profound implications extending beyond the Middle East to America’s heartland. Astonishingly, a Somali-American legislator from Ohio, State Rep. Munira Abdullahi, D-Columbus, continues to serve as a national leader for the Muslim American Society (MAS), a registered nonprofit that federal prosecutors have identified as the “overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.”

Abdullahi’s involvement with MAS dates back to at least 2012, when she served as a youth director in Columbus and later as a national program director. The organization’s youth programs have been marred by scandals nationwide, including an incident in Philadelphia where children were taught songs about beheading Israeli Jews, and a fundraiser selling merchandise glorifying Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists. Upon her election to public office in 2022, Abdullahi appeared to distance herself from MAS, updating her LinkedIn profile to indicate she no longer worked for the group.

However, her ties persisted and deepened. Now heading MAS-Columbus and part of the organization’s national leadership, she leverages her elected status to host events featuring ultra-conservative preachers and pro-Hamas activists. Though MAS officially claims independence from the broader Sunni Islamist movement, a 2004 Chicago Tribune investigation exposed how its early leaders decided to conceal their Muslim Brotherhood affiliations while aiming to “convert Americans to Islam and elect like-minded Muslims to political office.”

Campaign finance records underscore this connection: in 2022, Abdullahi received a $1,000 contribution from an MAS colleague and later donated $2,400 from her campaign to MAS-Columbus.

I'd written about this Abdullahi myself in the past 4 years, and it's clear she doesn't belong in politics anywhere. It remains to be seen if the Trump administration will take any action against her and other such interlopers who don't belong in the USA or any other civilized country.

An upcoming Congressional hearing on banning sharia in the USA

Janet Levy talks about an upcoming panel in Congress on banning Islamic sharia in the USA:

Whenever patriots rise to defend America from radical Islam, liberals dismiss them as alarmist or Islamophobic. Therefore, criticism is likely to increase after the February 10th Sharia Free America hearings of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. But not only is the threat real, it also grows stronger from apologists who insist that Islam is a religion of peace, even though Islamist groups openly swear by its medieval tenets of world conquest.

Fortunately, many House Republicans are standing against this growing threat. In less than a month, 26 representatives from 17 states have joined the Sharia-Free America Caucus, led by Representatives Keith Self (R-TX-3) and Chip Roy (R-TX-21). Their goal is to protect the Constitution and defend individual freedoms and the American way of life by passing laws to prevent sharia from invading our civic life and courts.

Read more. This is something that must also be taken to Europe, Africa, Asia and even Latin America, because who knows how much horrific influence of the Religion of Peace can be found in any part there? The time's come to deal with this properly, and the House hearings are just the beginning of what's needed.

Theater play about October 7, 2023 will be shown at Kennedy Center

The playwrights who developed a theater show about October 7, 2023 will soon be bringing it to the Kennedy Center, which Donald Trump made efforts to renovate for the better:

Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, producers of the Breitbart movie My Son Hunter, will soon be bringing their acclaimed play about the horrific October 7 terrorist attacks to the Kennedy Center this year.

“The play, which the New York Post has described as ‘spellbinding… powerful and a sanctuary for truth,’ will be the first controversial play to be performed in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts since the Trump administration took it over,” said the announcement from Phelim McAleer.

[...] The play ran for six weeks during its 2024 run in New York City and reportedly “required a permanent police presence” due to its sensitive subject matter. Theater Scene called it “incredibly powerful” while Stage and Cinema hailed it as “a snapshot in time, as remembered by eyewitnesses,” insisting that audiences “see what is there in the moment.”

Speaking with Breitbart News prior to its release, writer Phelim McAleer said the world must not forget the tragedy of October 7.

“The progressive elites seem to want the world to forget about October 7 and what happened that day. And they are being successful,” McAleer told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement. We were in Ireland on October 7 and right away. People started talking about the need for a cease-fire and how terrible it was that they were ‘Turning off the electricity in Gaza.’”

“Everyone wanted to move on from October 7 but there would be no War in Gaza if it wasn’t for October 7,” he added.

What was especially disgraceful is how violence was being incited outside a theater by repulsive creeps who obviously didn't want anybody to be informed. The same movements involved doubtlessly oppose any such play about September 11, 2001. Of course, ever since Zohran Mamdani was elected NYC mayor, that's added insult to injury. I'm glad the Kennedy Center's running this play now, as it definitely needs to be run in many more venues, even overseas.

Steven Spielberg's become unendurable

It was recently reported that the would-be legendary Hollywood filmmaker Spielberg has been funding anti-Israel movements through the institutions he founded, and worse, it looks like he himself has indicated where he really stands, almost 3 years after October 7, 2023:

When Steven Spielberg created the Righteous Persons Foundation with some of the profits from Schindler’s List, he wanted to educate people about the Holocaust and build up Jewish life in America. “I could not accept any money from ‘Schindler’s List’ — if it even made any money. It was blood money, and needed to be put back into the Jewish community.”

“My parents didn’t keep kosher and we mainly observed all the holidays when my grandparents stayed with us,” the filmmaker said at the time. “I knew I was missing a great deal of my natural heritage, and as I became conscious of it, I began racing to catch up.”

The race has long since gone the other way.

The last time the Righteous Persons Foundation, named after the rescuers of Holocaust survivors, funded Holocaust programs was in 2021. Most of its funding now goes to radical social justice groups including anti-Israel organizations like those protesting Israel.

Since 2021, Spielberg’s foundation has provided $650,000 to T’ruah, an anti-Israel hate group which took part in the Manhattan street blocking and whose CEO celebrated the move and gleefully posted photos of attendees falsely accusing Israel of “ethnic cleansing”.

“We have to keep up the pressure,” urged T’ruah CEO Jill Jacobs, who had accused Israeli officials of “incitement to genocide”, and demanded an end to further Israeli attacks on Hamas. Jacobs had blasted American Jews for speaking about “Oct. 7 and the plight of the hostages without once mentioning the unbearable death toll among Palestinians” because of what she claimed was their fear of wealthy Jewish donors.

Jacobs and T’ruah had even falsely accused Israel of “war crimes” by assassinating Hezbollah leaders. “Israel, too, has already committed war crimes in Lebanon, including by exploding the beepers and walkie talkies of hundreds of Hezbollah members,” Jacobs argued.

Within a year, Spielberg had gone from funding Holocaust survivors to funding those accusing Israel of a new Holocaust while enabling Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran to perpetrate a new one.

He already let the mask slip when he produced Munich in 2005, which was co-scripted by the anti-Israeli playright Tony Kushner, who's worked with him on at least a few other projects. In doing so, Spielberg effectively hollowed out Schindler's List, and at this point, I'm wondering if I can have my money back. As noted further along:

The Righteous Persons Foundation also provided $1.2 million to ‘Bend the Arc’, a radical group originally headed by an anti-Israel protester, which has close ties to anti-Israel protest groups.

I don't think Spielberg's ever made any serious effort to address the Armenian Holocaust during WW1, if at all, and no doubt, because that was perpetrated by the Religion of Peace. He's yet another ill-informed leftist, and towards the end of this article, it's also noted, horrifically enough, that:

A year later, in remarks at the University of Southern California, which was honoring him for setting up the USC Shoah Foundation, the filmmaker briefly addressed the issue, warning about rising antisemitism including “the machinery of extremism is being used on college campuses”, which some of the groups he’s funding have been protecting, while also claiming that it’s “happening alongside anti-Muslim, Arab, and Sikh discrimination.”

Spielberg then appeared to denounce both Israel and Hamas, arguing that, “we can rage against the heinous acts committed by the terrorists of October 7th and also decry the killing of innocent women and children in Gaza.”

Notice how he seems to be trying to cover his tracks by adding the Sikh religion to his shoddy lecture. Despite that, I don't think he gives a damn about followers of the Sikh faith, nor does he care about Arab/Muslim women who fell victim to violence perpetrated by Muslim men. And if followers of the Religion of Peace attacked Sikh adherents, as was the case in 1947, Spielberg would have nothing to say about even that. To think that I once thought he was one of the finest filmmakers, and then he destroyed everything by following the instructions of those who thought he should "grow up" as a storyteller, as though the adventure fare he was first known for was somehow not good enough. Then again, even if he hadn't abandoned fantasy-style filmmaking, chances are he would've lost his way eventually, and his so-called adaptation of War of the Worlds was simply unbearable.

Spielberg's not the only leftist Jew who's taken repellent positions. There's also actor Mandy Patinkin, who's sided with Zohran Mamdani. Perhaps this could explain why Patinkin was a co-star in Alien Nation from 1988, which was quite the leftist propaganda vehicle for a science fiction film. There's some role Patinkin had in years past that, if they're good movies, they'll have to be taken with a grain of salt for now. And back to Spielberg, I am done with his filmmaking resume, which decidedly began to collapse in the past 2 decades or so. No decent person should finance his institutions, that's for sure.

Trump did not take an objective position with Mamdani at White House meeting

When president Donald Trump met NYC's first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, at the White House for a special meeting, no firm stance on the latter's negative leanings was taken:

President Donald Trump offered an optimistic view of the direction of New York City after meeting with Democratic socialist Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House on Friday.

During a press conference that followed, Trump said the two found common ground in their desires to reduce the cost of living, while also cracking down on crime. He also acknowledged that Mamdani has “views that are a little out there,” adding that he’s likely to change.

“I feel very confident that he could do a very good job. I think he is gonna surprise some conservative people, actually,” Trump told reporters from the Oval Office.

Forget it, this does nothing to properly address the bad things Mamdani said during his campaign, and only excuses him for the offensive statements he made about Trump too. In fact, it dampens the impact of Trump's previous meeting with South Africa's president Cyril Ramaphosa, where the POTUS took a more objective stance regarding some of the most awful things going on the country Ramaphosa's leading, including, but not limited to, anti-white racism. Sure, Trump may have hinted he's ready to withhold funding for NYC if Mamdani follows through on anything bad, but even so, this is not the tour de force White House meeting many may have been hoping for. And that's a real shame. It won't improve the USA's situation.

Update: as noted here, Trump also failed to address Mamdani's anti-Israel rants:

After the meeting, Mamdani repeated his claims that the government of Israel is carrying out "genocide in Gaza," and said that the U.S. government is funding those actions.

"“I shared with the president in our meeting about the concern that many New Yorkers have about wanting their tax dollars to go toward the benefit of New Yorkers and their ability to afford basic dignity. There’s a desperate need not only for the following of human rights but also the following through on the promises we’ve made New Yorkers. We've spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide and I’ve spoken about our government funding it."

President Trump did not respond to those remarks during the meeting with reporters. When Mamdani was asked about the president's efforts to advance agreements in the Middle East, he replied "I appreciate all efforts toward peace. We’re tired of seeing our tax dollars fund endless wars, and I also believe that we have to follow through on the international human rights, and I know that still today those are being violated, and that continues to be work that has to be done, no matter where we’re speaking of.”

Later, Trump was asked about Mamdani's threat to detain Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he comes to New York, and he briefly answered, "We did not discuss that."

In addition, Mamdani's spokeswoman Dora Pekec, referenced his recent objections to the Nefesh B'Nefesh event held in a New York synagogue: "The Mayor-elect has discouraged the language used at last night’s protest and will continue to do so. He believes every New Yorker should be free to enter a house of worship without intimidation, and that these sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law."

Through his spokeswoman, Mamdani continues to take a double-standard on the issue of immigrating to Israel, and Trump's failure to discuss Mamdani's use of a forked tongue approach is hugely disappointing.

An anti-Israeli movement encourages murder for money

In most horrific yet unshocking news, an anti-Israeli movement is offering bounties for murdering Israeli academics:

Bounties for the murder of Israeli academics are being offered on an anti-Zionist group's website, with profiles and personal details of targets also provided to potential contract killers.

The Punishment for Justice Movement website offers $50000 for murdering a targeted Israeli academic, $100,000 for the murder of "special targets," and other financial awards for providing information on them or committing acts of intimidation.

The group lists the alleged home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media accounts, and even identification numbers of hundreds of academics from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv University, Harvard University, and European Organization for Nuclear Research.

Some of those listed reside outside of Israel, including in the United States of America.

And who exactly is hosting the website in discussion? Isn't that aiding and abetting a crime? The terrorist organization in question must be shut down and arrested for encouraging murder and jihadism. This is very serious, and sites like what's reported about cannot be allowed to remain on the web, nor can the terrorists running them be allowed to continue with their repulsive criminal activities.

USA's Catholic bishop council must stop defending Islam, which is already becoming far too established stateside

Maureen Mullarky addresses the disturbing case of the USA's Conference of Catholic Bishops acting as apologist for the Religion of Peace, something previously alluded to by news sites like Front Page:

Earlier this month, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) published “Islamophobia: A Guide for U.S. Catholics on Anti-Muslim Bigotry.” Showcased on the USCCB website with a lovely Islamic design cover, this 15-page booklet exhorts Catholics to “address the disturbing phenomenon of anti-Muslim sentiment in our times.”

Introduced by the co-chairs of the National Catholic-Muslim Dialogue (NCMD) — Bishop Elias Lorenzo of Newark and Imam Kareem Irfan — the USCCB declares dire need to counter “the rising tide of anti-Muslim sentiment that has been present for decades.”

The guide uses the term “Islamophobia” as a blunt tool for erasing the Islam from Islamic terrorism. It runs interference for a bellicose religious culture that began its intended conquest of the world in the seventh century.

Discomfort with Islam Deemed a Moral Defect

The USCCB booklet appeared within days of the introduction of a bill by Sen. Ted Cruz to address the steady massacre of Christians in Nigeria by Islamic terrorists. Ongoing jihadist slaughter in DR Congo brought censure from Pope Leo in July after 49 Christians were hacked to death during a service. Some 64 Catholics were killed in Ntoyo, Congo, on Sept. 8-9. Christians are attacked and subjugated in more countries than any other religious group, according to The Washington Post.

That they'd issue such an atrocious form of apologia does a terrible disfavor to victims of Islamic violence everywhere, and is a pure betrayal of Christian adherents, no matter the sect they belong to, whether Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox. This is an utter disgrace. It's also repulsive they'd compare "islamophobia" with antisemitism, because it also ignores Muslim antisemitism of the sort that led to October 7, 2023. And what influences the defense of the Religion of Peace? As some say, follow the money:

Once-Catholic Georgetown has been shilling for Islam for at least two decades. Cooperation began in earnest in 2005 with the gift of a $20 million endowment fund from Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. It was given to expand the existing Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown’s prestigious Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. In recognition of the tycoon’s support, director John Esposito renamed the center the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU).

Grants and contracts from Qatar, worth more than $927.6 million, flowed to ACMCU between 2005 and 2023. Much of that funding is reported to have been routed through the Qatar Foundation. The foundation is a tentacle of the Qatari regime, according to the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy. The foundation has ties to the Safa Network, a nexus of charities that work to propagate Islamist ideology, as reported by the Middle East Forum. In 2005, Georgetown opened a satellite campus in Qatar supported by partnership with the Qatar Foundation.

Wow, the same Qatar that harbored Hamas minions for many years. When will anybody in the GOP wake up and take issue with continued relations with Qatar if this is how they're going to operate?

On a related note, an army veteran, Mark Lucas, who fought in Afghanistan, has warned about Islam's infiltrations into the USA, including the now sadly elected NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani years after September 11, 2001:

The radical jihadists who attacked America on 9/11 dramatically changed the course of American history. Personally, it was the catalyst that encouraged me and a new generation of warfighters to join the military. We wanted to kill the monsters responsible for that horrific act of terrorism.

In 2010, I deployed to Afghanistan as an Infantry Rifle Platoon Leader. It was the deadliest year of Operation Enduring Freedom. I saw radical Islam up close and personal. I believe it poses the greatest threat to Western civilization. The Afghans brutally beat their wives, daughters, and sisters. Young boys were frequently victims of rape. During Key Leader Engagements with local Afghan leaders, we would be served tea by boys who were sold into slavery and sexually abused. Our local Afghan interpreter told us that many children were sold into sex slavery by their parents in exchange for educational opportunities. He proudly informed me that many of these boys would return to murder their parents.

My unit included several women who served on our Female Engagement Team. These women were tough, brave, and noticeably blonde. My soldiers constantly had to guard them from our supposed allies in the Afghan army. During foot patrols, squad leaders physically kept local men from lingering near them. Without the protection of my men, these women would have been beaten and raped.

As Americans, we value our families and protecting the innocent. These values often do not appear in Islamic culture. I saw children trapped in sexual slavery by powerful members of the Afghan government. In large families, parents would sell their children to be raped and abused. This was a normal part of their culture.

My experience was not unique. Any service member who deployed will tell you he saw or heard of similar atrocities. Those of us who served outside the wire in hostile territory witnessed the horrors of radical Islam firsthand. I feel obligated to share this experience, even if it’s not politically correct.

Radical Islam is not being contained to Middle Eastern countries. It is rapidly spreading to the west. Multiple child rape gangs have operated for decades in the United Kingdom. Cities like London discovered that thousands of teenage girls were being targeted for grooming and rape. Many of the offenders were Pakistani men who were involved in the city’s growing Muslim community. The rape gangs were discovered in as many as 50 cities in the U.K. In Sweden, migrant men of non-European origin commit 84 percent of assault rapes in Sweden. An Afghan in Sweden is 69 times more likely to commit an aggravated rape than a Swede is.

This terrifying behavior is coming to the United States. In 2024, Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie, a 42-year-old Somali migrant living in Minnesota, abducted and raped a 12-year-old girl. Following his conviction, the local Islamic center submitted a letter of support on his behalf. The letter stated that Dirie “enriches the lives of those around him” and attributed his crime to “the challenge of starting over in a new culture.” After receiving this endorsement, Dirie received a 12-year sentence this summer, the minimum allowed under Minnesota law.

We are seeing rapid demographic shifts in the Midwest as leftists import these radicals. Dearborn, Michigan, has the largest per capita Muslim population in the country, with 54.5 percent of the city’s residents being either Middle Eastern or North African. This makes it the first U.S. city with a majority Arab population. It is also home to the largest mosque in North America. Throughout the U.S., there are about 4.5 million Muslims, with 58 percent of them being first-generation immigrants. A majority of these Muslims live in states with large cities such as New York, Illinois, and California.

It's chilling to think of how the Catholic council of bishops acts oblivious to all this. Chip Roy's also addressed the encroachment of Islam in the USA:

Mamdani is the poster child for the modern Democrat Party, hiding behind the veneer of pro-immigration policy to foster a purposeful, planned, and strategic effort to advance an “Islamic cultural revolution” designed to fundamentally alter America’s identity. This shift will transform America from a melting pot into a loaded cannon in which the least of our worries will be thousands of Muslims taking to the streets for prayer and parades, or a viral video showing a young woman proclaiming her acceptance of Islam in Times Square, a location often called “the center of the universe.”

But this cultural transformation is not limited to New York City. It is occurring nationwide. Hamtramck, Michigan, a small city within Detroit, has been “flooded” with immigrants and is the first city in the United States to have an all-Muslim elected city council.

One of the reasons for that is because non-Muslims opposed to LGBT ideology may have been instrumental in getting the whole council elected. Such alliances were dangerous, and will come with a heavy price. And it's shameful how women sell out to the Religion of Peace, which is like acceptance of slavery. Here's some more on Mamdani's election:

The race’s outcome indicates a strong preference among NYC voters for the type of communist-style policies Mamdani has touted in years past and throughout his campaign.

It's said that many of the voters who brought Mamdani into power are foreigners, and undoubtably, that includes plenty of Muslims too. And Jarret Stepman notes:

Police deployments to crime hotspots in the city are likely to decline. Many long-time NYPD officers will almost certainly leave the force. Whether Mamdani and the City Council actively defund the police or not may be of little consequence since the mayor will have a great deal of control over how the police will be used. [...]

Mamdani has promised to turn the subway into something akin to a homeless shelter and will undoubtedly make travel on it increasingly dangerous. You are probably more likely to be stabbed or assaulted on a bus ride going forward, but at least they will be “free,” I guess.

Don't be shocked if Mamdani gradually turns the police into a sharia-style outfit. There've already been chilling signs of similar movements there over the years. Stuff like this is exactly why I'd rather not visit the Big Apple ever again. It's hugely regrettable a once famous cityscape had to end up being reduced to this kind of monstrosity, and now in the process, thousands of innocent lives from 911 have been desecrated as a result of this abominable turn of events. But, lest we forget, even the aforementioned Catholic bishop council also clearly has some blame to shoulder for what's come down. They complain about "Islamophobia" to the point where they completely erase the experiences of the military soldiers who experienced firsthand what the Religion of Peace advocates and normalizes, and then we keep seeing these fiascos occur with no end in sight. This is absolutely awful.

Andrew Cuomo should be blamed if Zohran Mamdani is elected NYC mayor

Phillip Klein makes some valid points why New York's former governor should be blamed if Muslim mayoral candidate Mamdani is elected, and not Curtis Sliwa:

But if Mamdani wins, the blame should rest with Cuomo.

To start, nothing does more to fuel the rise of somebody proposing radical change from the status quo than a sense that the status quo is broken. No doubt, Mamdani benefited greatly from the fact that Mayor Eric Adams was under federal indictment before being pardoned by President Trump, to whom Adams had cozied up. But he benefited doubly from the fact that when the dust settled, his main challenger ended up being Cuomo.

Cuomo was a failed governor. Not only did his disastrous Covid policies contribute to thousands of nursing home deaths, but then his administration tried to cover up the failure by manipulating the data. And he was forced to resign in disgrace over charges of sexual misconduct. It’s hard to imagine a better avatar for Mamdani’s argument that the existing system is corrupt and broken than Cuomo.

I’m generally reluctant to call anybody a “spoiler” given that elections are ultimately about earning votes. If you’re an older Republican voter who has lived in New York long enough, you probably grew up hating Andrew Cuomo’s father, Mario Cuomo (New Yorkers of a certain age will remember the late talk-radio host Bob Grant’s salute to “the sfaccim”). Andrew Cuomo in 2014 said that conservatives had no place in the state.

That Cuomo's running in the first place is surely peculiar, given his shoddy record. Again, chances are he did so in order to make Mamdani look better by comparison. And it's entirely valid to say Cuomo will be responsible if, in the end, Mamdani stands elected as mayor.

Since we're on the subject, it's decidedly crucial to note one of the groups in New York that's backing Mamdani:

Turning to political developments in New York City, Block addressed concerns over the potential election of Mamdani as mayor. "The Jewish community in New York is very diverse. Some support Mamdani, including Satmar communities that are anti-Zionist," he said. "But overall, the community is troubled by having a mayor who doesn't support Israel and has spoken out against it."

It was reported previously that the Satmar clan warmly welcomed Mamdani at a meeting, and no doubt, plenty of Satmar will vote for him. As horrible as that is, it will make clear a clan whose customs are as prudish as theirs sees nothing wrong with sharia, no matter how much worse it is. If Mamdani's elected due to the Jewish vote, the Satmar will decidedly also have to be blamed, though obviously, considering how twisted they are, some will argue it's a moot point. In any event, chances are we'll awaken to a very sad scenario in the coming week.
