There’s a Charlottesville Every Week, and Joe Biden Is Fine With It

By: David Harsanyi — June 28th 2024 at 02:02

Not long ago, Snopes, a left-wing “fact-checking” site, finally admitted that former President Donald Trump had never called the neo-Nazis who marched at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 “very fine people.”

For years, Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have repeated this false claim. Indeed, Biden, who’s been running for the presidency since 1987, ludicrously told the press in 2019 that the events in Charlottesville, and Trump’s alleged reaction, inspired him to run in 2020.

Well, there’s a new Charlottesville every week in America nowadays. They aren’t led by a few hundred Nazi cosplayers, but thousands of Islamists and leftist fellow travelers whose goals are supported by numerous administration officials, congressmen, and newsrooms.

In the latest Charlottesville, a mob of pro-Hamas goons showed up in front of a synagogue in the heavily Jewish Pico-Robertson neighborhood in Los Angeles. They wore terror apparel, called for violence against Jews, allegedly beat up a Jewish woman, and impeded people from worshipping. Unlike in November, when a 69-year-old Los Angeles Jewish man was killed after a pro-Hamas “protester” threw a megaphone at his head, no one died.

If reports are true, the Los Angeles Police Department ensured that pro-Hamas “protesters” were able to encircle the synagogue and kept Jewish worshippers and counterprotesters out. Only one person was arrested, charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly possessing a “spiked flag”—as one does at a peaceful protest. I wonder if it was a Hamas flag or a Hezbollah one?

Many in the media again framed the violence as a clash between anti-Israel and pro-Israel protesters—“Protesters clash outside synagogue in L.A.” or “Fights break out during dueling protests in Pico-Robertson,” and so on.

But why do the pro-“Palestine” protesters show up in front of synagogues, Holocaust museums, and the performances of Jewish comedians in the first place? Why do they target Jewish students and Jewish businesses?

Pro-Israel protesters don’t show up in front of mosques. Nor do “peace protesters,” who never seem to object to the string of atrocities happening thousands of miles away in the Islamic world—which, unlike most claims regarding Gaza, aren’t concocted.

But back to Biden. His very presidency supposedly hinges on the events of Charlottesville, and yet outside the occasional perfunctory denunciations—where he usually reminds everyone of “Islamophobia”—he does nothing.

“I condemn the antisemitic protests,” Biden told reporters after anti-Jewish demonstrations at Columbia University a few months ago. “I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”

Boy, that sounds like the president is saying there are “very fine people” on both sides. Biden’s odious moral relativism is to compare antisemitic, keffiyeh-wearing terror cheerleaders and those who don’t “understand”—or accept—the rationalization for Hamas’ murder and rape of civilians.

The truth is Biden, who has repeated fake “genocide” casualty numbers to Muslim audiences, is scared to offend the pro-Hamas faction in his party. And it’s not just words. While Biden’s Justice Department is raiding the homes of pro-life protesters who pray in front of abortion mills or trying to throw elderly anti-abortion activists into prison, it does nothing about the systemic, highly funded, violent antisemitic movement that has erupted on campuses.

While Attorney General Merrick Garland likens the actions of parents who are opposed to COVID-19 restrictions and racist curriculums to “domestic terrorism”—there still hasn’t been a single incident to substantiate his action—he doesn’t have the same designation for pro-Hamas rioters who target synagogues and Jewish businesses.

While the Biden administration helps states deal with scary MAGA terrorists who embrace “anti-government or anti-authority violent extremism,” it does nothing about the DAs and AGs who let antisemites funded by Qatar do whatever they like.

Last week, the Manhattan district attorney let dozens of rioters (not protesters), who occupied and trashed Hamilton Hall, off without any charges. This week, a Jewish couple was allegedly beaten at a Brooklyn elementary school graduation by an Arabic-speaking family—who taunted them with shouts of “Free Palestine!”, “Gaza is Ours!”, and “Death to Israel!” I’m sure the perpetrators have nothing to worry about in NYC. They are perched high on the Left’s victim class hierarchy.

It would be nice if there was even a fraction of the anger or coverage of these new Charlottesvilles. But most Democrats aren’t offended by all antisemites. If you insult George Soros, sure, you may be condemned in the pages of The New York Times. If a pro-Hamas mob beats down a Jewish woman, we’re lucky if the paper even reports on the incident.

And every time there is a new Charlottesville, it not only affirms why Israel needs to exist—or that “anti-Zionism” and antisemitism are now indistinguishable—it tells us that Jews can’t rely on the contemporary Left to be on their side.

3 Questions CNN Hosts Should Ask Biden at Debate

By: Jon Sutz — June 27th 2024 at 14:19

CNN has been paying the market price for its unwavering leftist media bias. Recent reports indicate the cable network is trying to reform itself—to become a more nonpartisan, reliable news organization.

Anyone who’s sane, sober, and informed knows that Jake Tapper and Dana Bash are going to be loaded with tough questions for former President Donald Trump. Based on their past behavior, they are going to throw everything, including the kitchen sink, at him.

I say fine—do it, so long as it’s based on demonstrable evidence, and not on surveys or conjecture or rumor. But if Tapper and Bash are sincere about proving CNN is acting without partisan bias, they should also ask some serious questions of President Joe Biden.

 Here are three of those questions: 

1) Why are you the No. 1 global financial enabler of the Iranian terrorist regime?

Iran played a material role in helping al-Qaeda to perpetrate the 9/11 attack, and had been providing it with aid and assistance at least 10 years prior to, and 10 years after the attack. Iran’s rulers have openly declared that their highest duty is to wipe America and Israel off the face of the Earth and are building nuclear weapons with which to do just that. 

Further, Iran is the paymaster of the Houthis that are attacking U.S. and other nations’ ships, Hezbollah, the world’s largest anti-U.S. and antisemitic terrorist gang, and Hamas, which perpetrated the slaughter of Jews on Oct. 7.

Knowing all this, President Biden, why have you decided to become the No. 1 global financial enabler of the Iranian terrorist regime?

To summarize:

  • In September 2023, you gave Iran $16 billion in what amounted to a ransom payment.

The Biden administration just paid a $16 billion ransom to the Ayatollah. 
 
They are giving money to a murderous regime that routinely chants “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.” pic.twitter.com/RNdxWo3tqB

— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) September 16, 2023
  • In January 2024—90 days after Iran’s proxy Hamas engaged in the Oct. 7 slaughter, rape, torture, and kidnapping of Jews—you lifted oil sanctions on Iran, resulting in its ability to acquire an estimated $90 billion.

All told, this amounts to roughly $150 billion in cash that you’ve enabled the world’s most lethal anti-U.S. terrorist regime to acquire, that you must know has gone into global terrorism. 

President Biden, how do you justify your actions?

2) A two-part question: Why do you incite hatred against America, and against our law enforcement officers, based on falsehoods about race issues?

President Biden, on May 19, while speaking to Morehouse College, you said this:

It’s natural to wonder if democracy you hear about actually works for you. What is democracy if black men are being killed in the street? What is democracy if a trail of broken promises still leave black—black communities behind? What is democracy if you have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot?

You must know that this is completely untrue. You must know, as president, that each year, individuals with black skin arrive (legally) on America’s shores with nothing or all their possessions in shopping bags, and in a few years, own their own homes, have built small businesses, or work in skilled professions, right here in this supposedly racist nation.

They achieved their dreams by working hard, in a focused and resilient manner, and took advantage of the unlimited opportunities that America offers—which is why, of the 196 nations on Earth, America is the No. 1 emigration destination, year after year, decade after decade. 

Knowing all this, why would you say such a thing that you know is both untrue and can only serve to help incite hatred of America, our government, our law enforcement officers, and our entire culture?

And speaking of inciting racist hatred against America’s police officers, a follow-up: On Oct. 26, 2019, you gave a speech at Benedict College, in which you were asked: “If I were your daughter, what advice would you give me the next time I am stopped by the police?” 

You responded, “If you were my daughter, you’d be a caucasian girl and you wouldn’t be pulled over.”

Again, you know that this is untrue—and can only serve to help incite hatred of and racist violent against our law enforcement officers. Why would you say such a thing—and will you commit here, tonight, to never do that again?

3) Why do you keep claiming that “Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people,” when every reliable metric shows Palestinians support Hamas by overwhelming margins?

President Biden, since Hamas’ Oct. 7 campaign of murder, rape, torture, and kidnapping against Israeli Jews, you and Secretary of State Antony Blinkin have repeatedly said, in public, some variant of the claim that “Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people.” And it is on this basis that you say once the war is over, you are going to use billions of U.S. tax dollars to create a Palestinian state that will not be ruled by Hamas.

You’ve done this even though every reliable survey of Palestinians, by Palestinian research organizations—both before and after the Hamas’ Oct. 7 slaughter of Jews—shows the Palestinian people overwhelmingly support Hamas and its genocidal terrorism:

  • If a presidential election were held, Ismail Haniyah, the head of Hamas, would soundly defeat Mahmoud Abbas, the head of Fatah.
  • By 3-to-2 margin, Palestinians say Hamas deserves to represent them.
  • 83% of Palestinians in the West Bank, and 64% in the Gaza Strip, say they support Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
  • More than 70% of Palestinians in both regions reject any “two-state solution,” and instead want Israel destroyed, to be replaced by a Palestinian nation.


Why do you keep repeating the false claim that “Hamas doesn’t represent the Palestinian people,” when you know it is not true—and that any U.S. taxpayer money you give them will be used to enable Hamas to continue its terror campaign against Israeli Jews?

The Pro-Hamas Threat to America

By: Daniel Flesch — June 17th 2024 at 17:59

Commencement season is over, but don’t expect the pro-Palestine movement that overtook universities in recent months to dissipate. Given its larger ambitions and significant financial and political support, this protest movement will continue its disruptions nationwide well into the summer.

Nearly eight months after Hamas attacked Israel, it’s abundantly clear that this movement is anything but pro-Palestine. A recent weekend rally outside the White House featured overt support for Hamas and Hezbollah, and calls to murder Zionists. As they demand a “cease-fire,” these protesters ignore Hamas’ rejection of numerous Israeli offers for just that and they also ignore Hamas’ intentional use of civilians as human shields.

One would think a movement ostensibly about saving Palestinian lives would urge Hamas to release the hostages and surrender, which would immediately end the Israel-Hamas war. Instead, their chants of “We don’t want two states, we want 1948” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” make clear they support the U.S.-designated terrorist organization and its antisemitic objective: to destroy the world’s only Jewish state.

Furthermore, the invocations “by any means necessary” and to “globalize the intifada” are licenses to replicate Hamas’ attack on Oct. 7—the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust—and Yasser Arafat’s second intifada: the three-year terror campaign he launched after rejecting an opportunity to establish a Palestinian state.

Some may dismiss this movement as nothing more than a small, self-evidently noxious cadre of extreme antisemitic students with no constituents outside the university quad. Yet, according to the FBI, antisemitic hate crimes are up threefold, with some of the assaults against Jews most reminiscent of 1930s Germany occurring on university campuses.

And while the average participant may know little about the cause for which he or she protests, demonstrators certainly share their pro-Hamas comrades’ political goals—and the movement’s organizers have the means to pursue them far beyond America’s ivory towers.

But what starts with the Jews never ends with the Jews. Antisemitism is the proverbial canary in the coal mine. Today’s contagion is a particular strain of anti-Americanism that seeks social and political revolution, “by any means necessary.”

Now, with the school year over, look for this virus to relocate to cities with weak or sympathetic leadership, as we’ve seen in Washington, D.C., and at UCLA.

The real prize this summer is Chicago, where the Democratic National Convention will be held in August. The parallels to the events of the 1968 DNC in Chicago are already apparent, except for one important distinction: Unlike his predecessor Richard Daley, today’s mayor, Brandon Johnson, is more likely to join the protesters than silence them when they chant “Genocide Joe.”

The good news is that Americans are waking up to the threat the pro-Hamas movement and its connections to progressive organizations and malign foreign actors pose to our society.

Antisemitism has destroyed every society it infects. Hopefully we are not too late in diagnosing and destroying it before it destroys us.

The West Is Sick of the New Woke Jihadism

By: Victor Davis Hanson — June 14th 2024 at 11:49

What are the mobs in Washington defiling iconic federal statues with impunity and pelting policemen really protesting?

What are the throngs in London brazenly swarming parks and rampaging in the streets really angry about?

Occupations?

They could care less that the Islamist Turkish government still stations 40,000 troops in occupied Cyprus. No one is protesting against the Chinese takeover of a once-independent Tibet or the threatened absorption of an autonomous Taiwan.

Refugees?

None of these mobs are agitating on behalf of the nearly 1 million Jews ethnically cleansed since 1947 from the major capitals of the Middle East. Some 200,000 Cypriots displaced by Turks earn not a murmur. Nor does the ethnic cleansing of 99% of Nagorno-Karabakh’s ancient Armenian population just last year.

Civilian casualties?

The global protestors are not furious over the 1 million Uyghurs brutalized by the Communist Chinese government. Neither are they concerned about the Turkish government’s indiscriminate war against the Kurds or its serial threats to attack Armenians and Greeks.

The new woke jihadist movement is instead focused only on Israel and “Palestine.” It is oblivious to the modern gruesome Muslim-on-Muslim exterminations of Bashar al-Assad and Saddam Hussein, the Black September massacres of Palestinians by Jordanian forces, and the 1982 erasure of thousands in Hama, Syria.

So woke jihadism is not an ecumenical concern for the oppressed, the occupied, the collateral damage of war, or the fate of refugees. Instead, it is a romanticized and repackaged anti-Western, anti-Israel, and antisemitic jihadism that supports the murder of civilians, mass rape, torture, and hostage-taking.

But what makes it now so insidious is its new tripartite constituency.

First, the old romantic pro-Palestine cause was rebooted in the West by millions of Arab and Muslim immigrants who have flocked to Europe and the U.S. in the last half-century.

Billions of dollars in oil sheikdom “grant” monies swarmed Western universities to found “Middle Eastern Studies” departments. These are not so much centers for historical or linguistic scholarship as political megaphones focused on “Zionism” and “the Jews.”

Moreover, there may be well over a half-million affluent Middle Eastern students in Western universities. Given that they pay full tuition, imbibe ideology from endowed Middle Eastern studies faculty, and are growing in number, they logically feel that they can do anything with impunity on Western streets and campuses.

Second, the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement empowers the new woke jihadis. Claiming to be non-white victims of white Jewish colonialism, they pose as natural kindred victims to Blacks, Latinos, and any Westerner now claiming oppressed status.

Black radicalism, from Al Sharpton to Louis Farrakhan to Black Lives Matter, has had a long, documented history of antisemitism. It is no wonder that its elite eagerly embraced the anti-Israeli Palestine movement as fellow travelers.

The third leg of woke jihadism is mostly affluent white leftist students at Western universities. Sensing that their faculties are anti-Israel, their administrations are anti-Israel (although more covertly), and the most politically active among the student body are anti-Israel, European and American students find authenticity in virtue-signaling their solidarity with Hamas, Hezbollah, and radical Islamists in general.

Given the recent abandonment of standardized tests for admission to universities, the watering-down of curricula, and rampant grade inflation, thousands of students at elite campuses feel that they have successfully redefined their universities to suit their own politics, constituencies and demographics.

Insecure about their preparation for college and mostly ignorant of the politics of the Middle East, usefully idiotic students find resonance by screaming antisemitic chants and wearing keffiyehs.

Nurtured in grade school on the Marxist binary of bad, oppressive whites versus good, oppressed nonwhites, they can cheaply shed their boutique guilt by joining the mobs.

The result is a bizarre new antisemitism and overt support for the gruesome terrorists of Hamas by those who usually preach to the middle class about their own exalted morality.

Still, woke jihadism would never have found resonance had Western leaders—vote-conscious heads of state, timid university presidents, and radicalized big-city mayors and police chiefs—not ignored blatant violations of laws against illegal immigration, vandalism, assault, illegal occupation, and rioting.

Finally, woke jihadism is fueling a radical Western turn to the right, partly due to open borders and the huge influx into the West from non-Western illiberal regimes.

Partly the reaction is due to the ingratitude shown their hosts by indulged Middle-Eastern guest students and green card holders.

Partly, the public is sick of the sense of entitlement shown by pampered, sanctimonious protestors.

And partly the revulsion arises against left-wing governments and universities that will not enforce basic criminal and immigration statutes in fear of offending this strange new blend of wokism and jihadism.

Yet the more violent campuses and streets become, the more clueless the mobs seem about the cascading public antipathy to what they do and what they represent.

Tehran Professor: Less Than 10% of Iranians Want to Annihilate Israel
Prof. Sadegh Zibakalam, once a supporter of the Islamic Republic, has been more and more outspoken in his criticism of the regime. Some Iranians in exile are still suspicious of him, given that he is apparently able to avoid punishment and even retains his post as a professor at Tehran University. More in Zibalakam’s recent […]

Lebanese Runner Pulls Out of Competition to Avoid Israeli

Lebanese Runner Pulls Out of Competition to Avoid Israeli 
The world of sport has been let down – again – by a Muslim who prefers to pull out of an event rather than face an Israeli competitor. This time, it was not a head-to-head encounter that was being avoided, but the prospect of having to run a race in which one of a dozen […]

Germany: Leftist state government takes ‘clear stance against antisemitism’ while ignoring Islamic Jew-hatred

By: Robert Spencer — April 1st 2023 at 12:00
Germany: Leftist state government takes ‘clear stance against antisemitism’ while ignoring Islamic Jew-hatred
Of course they do. The Green Party is much more worried about appearing to be “Islamophobic” than it is about Islamic antisemitism. “German State Ignores Iranian, Palestinian, and Turkish Antisemitism,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jewish Press, March 28, 2023: The chairman of the Jewish community in Bamberg, Bavaria, dispatched a scathing letter to a German Green […]

Georgia: Hamas-linked CAIR lobbies against and kills antisemitism bill

Georgia: Hamas-linked CAIR lobbies against and kills antisemitism bill
Murtaza Khwaja said that the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) opposed the bill because it would restrict criticism of (and no doubt propaganda against) Israel, but there is also this: the Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe […]

Greece: Muslim migrants plot jihad massacre at synagogue, would be paid $16,250 for every person they murdered

Greece: Muslim migrants plot jihad massacre at synagogue, would be paid $16,250 for every person they murdered
Celebrate diversity! This plot was a direct result of mass Muslim migration into Europe. You know, the mass migration that only “racists” and “Islamophobes” oppose. The Left is forcing “diversity” upon Europe in a sea of blood. “Greek police uncover Pakistani plot to attack Jewish synagogue in Athens – ‘€15,000 per dead,'” Greek City Times, […]

Of course. The willful ignorance is pandemic. Anyone who tries to provide the correct information is smeared as “Islamophobic.” “A flagship event for tolerance – with Islamists on the list of speakers,” translated from “Ein Vorzeigeevent für Toleranz – mit Islamisten auf der Rednerliste,” Süddeutsche Zeitung, March 22, 2023 (thanks to Medforth): Racism has many […]

UK’s Consul-General in Jerusalem meets with ‘Palestinian’ Muslim cleric who likened Jews to apes and pigs

By: Robert Spencer — March 20th 2023 at 16:00
UK’s Consul-General in Jerusalem meets with ‘Palestinian’ Muslim cleric who likened Jews to apes and pigs
It would be tough for Diane Corner to find a “Palestinian” Muslim cleric who hadn’t made viciously antisemitic statements. After all, the bit about Jews being transformed into apes and pigs is straight from the Qur’an (2:63-5; 5:59-60; 7:166). The mistake was treating these genocide-minded jihadis as if they were a respectable group in the […]

France24 suspends four Muslim journalists for extreme antisemitism and pro-jihad messages

By: Christine Douglass-Williams — March 16th 2023 at 15:00
France24 suspends four Muslim journalists for extreme antisemitism and pro-jihad messages
Any guesses on what the angle might have been when these now suspended journalists covered any topic related to Israel? Laila Odeh celebrated murderers as “martyrs.” Lebanese journalist Joelle Maroun tweeted: “If Only Hitler Was Lebanese.’” Dina Abi-Saab celebrated Hamas rocket fire upon Israel, and Sharif Bibi declared “We will eradicate you, Israel.” CAMERA said […]

On Sept. 22, 2011, Linda Sarsour tweeted: “shariah law is reasonable and once u read into the details it makes a lot of sense. People just know the basics.” Her position didn’t change over time.
