Last Sunday, throughout the Western world, supporters of Hamas– and, apparently, of its Iranian masters– gathered by the hundreds and thousands to celebrate Saturday’s genocidal attacks on citizens of Israel. In Salt Lake City, members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation danced. In Montreal, protestors shouted” Down, over, Israel! Completely, completely Palestine”! In New York, the Democratic Socialists of America( whose members include Alexandria Ocasio – Cortez and Rashida Tlaib ) chanted” From the river to the sea, Palestine will be completely”! and a beard preacher screamed” This is the right religion…. We will not stop until it enters every home”! In Washington, D. C., a crowd intoned” Fight for liberation, bring the whole thing down”! In Brighton, England, a speaker called the attacks” beautiful and encouraging”. In Sydney, the cry was” Gas the Jews”! In Rotterdam, in Atlanta, in the Swedish city of Malmö, in San Francisco, in one city after another, the brutal murder of women and children was cheered as the Israeli flags waved in the autumn breeze. Of course, Hamas’s actions on Saturday were far from the second example we’ve seen of Muslim hatred manifested on a large scale. On 9 / 11, and on a number of other dark days since – at the Atocha railway station in Madrid in 2004, on the London underground in 2005, at the Boston Marathon in 2013, at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris in 2015, at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando in 2016, on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice in 2016, at the Manchester Arena in 2017, and on many, many other occasions– naive Westerners were given the opportunity to wise up about the Religion of Peace. Alas, millions however didn’t get it. The media saw to that. Deceitful teachers and professors saw to that. But Donald Trump got it. He wanted to put a brake on immigration from the countries most responsible for islamist terror. He wanted to build a wall in order to prevent the entry of undesirables into the U. S. In return for setting forth these extremely sensible objectives, he was branded a racist and xenophobe by the mainstream media, and his plans were stymied at every turn by his remaining – wing enemies in the D. C. swamp and the federal judiciary. Trump did more. Where his predecessors had poured tons of cash into the Palestinian territories, thus helping to fund terrorism, he cut off the flow – and was described as ruthless. Obama’s Iran deal was canceled by him. Additionally, Trump engineered the Abraham Accords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Bahrain, a historic achievement that the media and all of his enemies almost instantly dropped down the memory hole. He did this by making the most of America’s leverage and ignoring the absurd logic of earlier administrations( which had insisted on placing Palestinians at the center of every attempt to make peace in the Middle East and normalize Israels’ status among its Muslim neighbors ). Trump prioritized America, and everything he did or wanted to do regarding the Middle East was primarily focused on ensuring its safety. However, as soon as his adversaries were able to install Joe Biden in the Oval Office, the fresh President’s puppeteers immediately changed the course of action, increasing the likelihood of an attack on Israel. And if what occurred in Israel on Saturday was terrible, what transpired on Sunday was incredibly depressing. Because those protests made it clear to us how some people who live within the boundaries of complimentary Western societies are actually jihadists and enemies of freedom. Some of them were born abroad. Several are Muslims. Some of them are enthusiastic Communists, fervent anti-Semitic, ignorant bien pensant types who believe that being other Muslims makes them virtues. Some people, like the” Queers for Palestine ,” are blatant fools who don’t seem to understand that they are supporting those who would immediately draw and quarter them. Despite all the pro-Has demonstrations on Sunday, there have been a few developments that have given me the impression that something favorable is taking place. I can just hope that I’m correct. Second, let’s say this. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that” there are no two sides to these events” and praised Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East while speaking at a synagogue on Monday night in Britain, where blatantly praising and appeasing Muslims has been established policy for years and where critics of Islam have been imprisoned. These comments seemed … different. quite unique. I don’t know Charlotte Corbett of South Africa, but on Monday she posted on Facebook that support for Israel on Zulu, Xhosa, and Swati media( with” a combined listenership of over 40 million ) has been nearly unanimous, with some listeners claiming to have” chang ] ed ] their opinion completely” about the Middle East. There is also this. I stopped watching CNN and BBC on cable TV a few weeks ago because I didn’t like their constant pro-left, anti-Trump propaganda. However, I re-subscribed on Sunday so that I could observe firsthand how they were covering the conflict in Israel. On Monday, I was amazed by the degree to which the reporters and anchors on those networks were ready to call a spade a spade. Early in the day, a CNN anchorwoman choked back tears as she introduced a report about the massacre at the Nova Music Festival in the southern Jewish desert. Eventually, the often atrocious Christiane Amanpour ended an interview with a fresh survivor of the music festival by saying:” Thank God you had a guardian angel”. Still later, Anderson Cooper actually called Hamas a” terror group”( not” fighters” or” militants”), after Becky Anderson interviewed a tearful young Israeli woman whose family was missing, Cooper was so palpably moved that he couldn’t speak for some very much seconds. Even later, Jake Tapper used the words” depravity” and” barbarism” and” inhumanity” and told an Israeli woman who runs an emergency medical services organization:” God bless you”. These are people who, in reporting on jihadist terror over the years, could be counted on to downplay any mention of Islam, to ascribe reasonable – sounding motives to the evildoers, to practice moral equivalence, and to express concern about anti – Muslim” backlash”. I wondered: could it really be that this time around, the monstrousness of Hamas’s actions had suddenly awakened at least a couple of Islam’s lifelong media apologists and enablers? Or were they now preparing to pivot on a dime? Was this, in short, merely a passing phase that would end when Israel started taking Gaza off? Alas, by Tuesday afternoon at least some of the CNN talking heads now seemed to be on the verge of returning to their old ways. As the Israeli journalist Caroline Glick pointed out on Tuesday evening, people in the West are quick to sympathize with Jews when they’re victimized, but they hate” courageous Jews… who stand up for themselves and their rights and fight for their country”. Here’s a question: now that it’s clearer than ever that rabid fans of jihadist butchery proliferate in pretty much every major city in the Western world, will Western governments do anything at all about it? In the U. S., devout Catholics, parents who don’t want their kids taught transgender ideology and Critical Race Theory, January 6″ insurrectionists”, and Trump voters normally have been treated by the FBI as threats to American freedom and security. What are these noble G – men going to do about the armies of jihad enthusiasts who showed their real faces on Sunday and who really are threats to American freedom and security? On Tuesday, in the Dutch House of Representatives, Geert Wilders noted the master – Hamas rallies that took place in some French cities last weekend and asked Prime Minister Mark Rutte what he plans to do about these enemies within. That is exactly the question that should be posed to every American leader: what are you going to do about this? What are you going to do to protect our country from experiencing an atrocity, sooner or later, like the one Hamas perpetrated on Saturday? A couple more questions. If Donald Trump isn’t returned to the White House, is there any hope at all for an America containing heaven knows how some Hamas aficionados? If he is returned to the White House, will he be allowed to deport plenty of these people to make a difference? Lastly, is it possible that the large savagery of Saturday’s attacks will awaken much – latent citizens around the Western world to the reality of Islam and persuade them, at long last, to save their own countries before it’s too late? Or will this moment pass, just as the post – 9 / 11 feeling of unity, rage, and patriotism did, and give way to yet more whitewashing, pusillanimity, self – censorship, and appeasement?
On Sunday, supporters of Hamas, and, probably, their Iranian masters, gathered in large numbers throughout the Western world to celebrate Saturday’s genocidal attack on Israeli citizens. Members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in Salt Lake City danced. In Montreal, protestors chanted “Down, Down, Israel!” In New York, the Democratic Socialists (which include Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Rashida Tlaib), chanted, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free!” A bearded preacher shouted, “This is correct religion ….We won’t stop until it enters each home!” In Washington, D.C., crowds chanted, “Fight for Liberation, Bring the Whole Thing Down!” In Brighton, England, an English speaker, The media made sure that millions of Westerners understood the Religion of Peace. The media took care of that. Duplicitous professors and teachers saw to it. But Donald Trump got there. He wanted to stop immigration from countries that are most responsible for jihadist terrorism. He wanted to build the wall to prevent undesirables from entering the U.S. Trump was branded as a racist and an xenophobe for stating these eminently reasonable goals. His plans were stymied by his leftist enemies in the D.C. Swamp and the federal judiciary. Trump did more. He cut off the flow of money that his predecessors had been pouring into the Palestinian Territories, which was funding terrorism. He was called heartless. He canceled Obama’s Iran deal. Trump put America first – and everything he wanted to do in the Middle East, was to make America safer. When his enemies succeeded in installing Joe Biden into the Oval Office, their first act was to reverse Trump’s policies, making an attack on Israel more likely. These demonstrations made us realize how many people who live within the borders of Western societies that are free are actually enemies of freedom and jihadists. Some of them were born abroad. Some of them are Muslims. Some are ardent Communists or rabid antisemites. Others are ignorant bien-pensant types that think being a fellow traveler of Islam makes them good. Some, such as the “Queers for Palestine,” seem to be outright fools. They don’t seem aware that they are cheering for those who would draw them and quarter them at any given opportunity. I can only pray that I’m wrong. First, this. In Britain, where shamelessly applauding and placating Muslims is official policy and critics of Islam are thrown into prison, Prime Minister Rishi sunak, speaking in a synagogue Monday night, called Hamas terrorists, said that “there’s no two sides to this story,” and praised Israel, the only democracy in Middle East. These remarks felt…different. I don’t know Charlotte Corbett from South Africa, but she wrote on Facebook on Monday that on Zulu and Xhosa media (with a combined audience of “over 40 million”), support for Israel has been almost unanimous. Some listeners have said that they’ve changed their opinion about the Middle East situation. I dropped CNN and BBC off my cable TV package a few weeks ago because of their anti-Trump, pro-left propaganda. On Sunday, I re-subscribed to the channels so I could see how they reported on the war in Israel. I was surprised on Monday by how willing the anchors and reporters were to call it like it is. CNN’s anchorwoman choked up tears when she first introduced a report on the massacre at the Nova Music Festival, in the southern Israeli Desert. Anderson Cooper, who is usually a snide, sarcastic, and sarcastic person, was visibly moved by Becky Anderson’s interview with an Israeli woman whose family had gone missing. Cooper couldn’t talk for several seconds after Becky Anderson spoke to the tearful Israeli woman. Jake Tapper, a CNN anchor, used the words “depravity,” “barbarism,” and “inhumanity,” and told an Israeli woman running an emergency medical services group: “God bless.” Or were they preparing to pivot in a flash? By Tuesday afternoon, some CNN talking heads seemed to be returning to their old ways. As the Israeli journalist Caroline Glick noted on Tuesday evening, the West is quick to sympathize when Jews are victimized, but hates “courageous Jews…who fight for themselves and their country and stand up for their rights.” Here’s a big question: will Western governments take any action now that it’s more than ever clear that rabid supporters of jihadist murder proliferate in almost every major city in Western Europe? The FBI has treated devout Catholics in the U.S. as threats to American security and freedom. They also treat parents who do not want their children taught Critical Race Theory and transgender ideology. What will these noble G-men do about the armies of radical jihadists who showed their true face on Sunday, and who are real threats to American security and freedom? On Tuesday, Geert wilders asked Mark Rutte in the Dutch House of Representatives what he planned to do to deal with these internal enemies. This is the exact question that every Western leader should be asked: What are you going do about this? What will you do to prevent our country from suffering an atrocity like the one Hamas committed on Saturday? A couple of other questions. Is there any hope for an America that contains heaven knows how many Hamas enthusiasts if Donald Trump is not returned to the White House? Will he be able deport enough people to make a real difference if he returns to the White House?Finally is it possible the sheer brutality of Saturday’s attack will awaken Westerners to the reality of Islam, and convince them to save their countries before it’s to late? Will this moment pass like the post-9/11 feeling for unity, rage and patriotism, and be replaced by more whitewashing and self-censorship?
