Memorial Day: Heroes And Hypocrites

Today is Memorial Day, a day when we honor men and women fallen in the service of their country.

Back when America was more of a piece, such a day was universal because of what it meant. Oddly enough, the holiday itself started from division after the Civil War, a conflict over 600,000 Americans never returned from.

Southern women, putting flowers on the graves of their fallen also decided to decorate the graves of the fallen Union soldiers as well, and the custom spread across the Mason-Dixon line. From such a great,painful division came unity.

In America today, we are now in the midst of another great division. And increasingly, we lack the common bonds of our ancestors.

Let's examine something.

At the present time, we have a volunteer military. What that means is that some young men in our society made a choice to restrict their own freedom and risk their lives to defend the rest of us.Increasingly, there is a socioeconomic and geographical divide between those whom chose to serve and those who don't. In the past, most Americans knew someone who was serving or had served in our military...vets like Dad, your uncle or grandpa, somebody's niece or nephew, the neighbors kid or perhaps your own. That's no longer true.

The fact is, most self-styled progressives despise the sort of people who serve in our military. Oh, they'll pay lip service to 'supporting the troops' because, you know, it sounds patriotic and provides them a fig leaf, but the attitude is fairly obvious. A few Memorial Days ago, MSNBC host and Nation editor Chris Hayes had this to say



CHRIS HAYES: Thinking today and observing Memorial Day, that'll be happening tomorrow. Just talked with Lt. Col. Steve Burke, who was a casualty officer with the Marines and had to tell people [inaudible]. Um, I, I, ah, [Steve] Beck, sorry, um, I think it's interesting because I think it is very difficult to talk about the war dead and the fallen without invoking valor, without invoking the words "heroes." Um, and, ah, ah, why do I feel so comfortable [sic] about the word "hero"? I feel comfortable, ah, uncomfortable, about the word because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war. Um, and, I don't want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that's fallen, and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism: hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers and things like that. But it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic. But maybe I'm wrong about that.

To people like Chris Hayes, the people that go into the military are suckers and dupes, and more than one of his comrades on the left have shown that this is exactly how they see it...especially when they think no one's listening too closely.



Chris Hayes isn't alone. And people like him don't understand this. Not only don't most of them not know anyone who has ever served, but to them, it seems like anyone who would volunteer for the military is someone beneath them socially and intellectually,someone who had no other option. Especially for patriotic motives, which they also think of as borderline neanderthal. I mean, why would someone risk his life at minimal pay for such a deeply flawed country like America if they were, you know, smart?



Today, I saw photos of Bill and Hillary Clinton marching in a Memorial Day parade in their home town Chautauqua, New York. Since Mrs. Clinton and her friends are now preparing the ground for a 2020 run, I suppose they though it made good optics, you know. A nice photo op.

 Not so long ago, an Obama-appointed judge threw a lawsuit out of court against Mrs. Clinton for willful negligence in the death of their sons by the Benghazi families. Judge Amy Berman Jackson set aside their claims that her use of an illegal private server to send confidential intel out unprotected helped cause the death of their sons. Not to mention ignoring repeated pleas for more security from Ambassador Stevens.

The judges verdict? That Mrs. Clinton's activities, even the clearly illegal ones were, and I quote "that Secretary Clinton was acting in the scope of her employment when she transmitted the emails that are alleged to give rise to her liability,”

And here you have these people marching and smiling in a Memorial Day Parade.

President, Barack Obama actually attempted to charge our wounded warriors for the medical care they were receiving for free via the VA. He also used the were the Obama Department of Justice to disenfranchise military votes overseas during the 2010 midterms.

And he further showed his feelings about the kind of people whom serve in our military by using dead military bodies being flown back to American soil as a political photo-op in defiance of Department of Defense regulations,the wishes of the families and simple common decency.

Yet in spite of all that, we still breed men here in America who answer the call of freedom. They understand something far more important than the contempt of the elites, and the smug platitudes uttered on this day. It is these men and women who define patriotism.

They knew that our beloved republic is worth fighting, and sometimes dying for. They put their lives on the line for our homeland. And they know how much many of us honor their bravery and sacrifice, even if it's s simple gesture like flowers on a grave. They showed up and gave their all. That's what we really honor on Memorial Day. And recent events may signify that we have indeed turned the corner as a nation, back towards the values we once held in common.

Those heroes, dead and alive will live forever in our hearts and always have our deepest gratitude and respect. The Chris Hayses, and their ilk never will.

I hardly respect such creatures as Americans.

Biden Proves He Wants Israel Demolished

 Ex-lawmaker says Joe Biden inappropriately touched her in 2014

 

In spite of all his words about the US supporting Israel's security, President Biden's actions prove the reverse.

After telling reporters at a White House press conference that "there is no shift in my commitment … to the security of Israel" His remarks that followed proved his real position is exactly the opposite. "I’ll tell you what there is a shift in. The shift is … we still need a two-state solution. It is the only answer. The only answer.”

That is as much as Biden saying he wants Israel forced back to indefensible borders...or as Israeli diplomat  Abba Eban  appropriately once called the pre 1967 borders, "the Auschwitz Lines."

The above is a view of Tel Aviv and Israel's heavily populated central valley, including Israel's airports.

If Israel was forced back to the pre 1967 lines, they would have no way of defending their country which would be surrounded by hostile enemies on all sides...with a width of only nine miles. In addition the 'Palestinians' want East Jerusalem. If Israel were to give it to them, West Jerusalem would be an easy target, and all of Israel's holy sites would be under the control of Arabs who hate Jews  and want them  exterminated. The last time that happened, in 1948, every Jew was ethnically cleansed, the Western Wall was used as a latrine and trash dump, and 28 historic synagogues were burned to the ground.

There would also be 500,000 plus homeless  Jewish refugees. trying to find jobs and homes in an already crowded and vulnerable  country.

To make a long story short, what Joe Biden wants is exactly what Barack Obama wanted and said openly once he was elected... 'distance between Israel and the US.'  Anyone who advocated a 'two state solution' in land that already belongs to Israelis ignoring  the fact that according to the San Remo Accords which the Arabs signed, the 22% of the former Ottoman  Palestine Mandate west of the Jordan River, as opposed to  the Arabs  78%of the Mandate East of the River which became Jordan. This agreement was reaffirmed  in Article 80 of the UN Charter , and has never been removed from the Charter.

 The 'Palestinians' still believe that “Palestine” must be liberated from the Jews from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. They have no interest in 'peaceful coexistence what so ever and have proved that ever since Oslo.

The conclusion is that anyone who favors a 'two state solution' wants Israel destroyed. And considering the Jewish population of Israel, that means thousands of Jewish deaths, since Biden and his fellow creatures know the 'Palestinians', Hamas and Hezbollah have no intention of peaceful coexistence. What Biden his fellow Democrats and Obama really want is a one state solution....one without Jews. And if that's not antisemitism, what is?

Biden even BS'd the reporters even further. He also said that  Democrats who want his administration to rebuke Israel and end a planned arms deal between the United States and Israel, saying, “I think that my party still supports Israel.” Sure they do.  There are already motions in congress to end all military sales and aid to Israel, including the arms deal Biden promised Netanyahu in exchange for the ceasefire with Hamas and any future sales. 

The Democrat Party is now the US Equivalent of the UK's Labour Party when it comes to pure Jew hatred.

On Friday, various Left wing Democrat progressive groups called on the Biden administration to condemn Israel.

“We are horrified by Israel’s use of disproportionate and deadly force against Palestinians in Gaza which have already resulted in the killings of dozens of Palestinians, including children,” the statement reads (pdf).

And Hamas didn't use deadly force against Israeli civilians?

Notice they make no notice of the use by Hamas of children as human shields , or of the amount of 400 plus Hamas rockets that misfired and killed civilians in Gaza*.(A frequent tactic by Hamas for propaganda purposes). or of Israeli children who were murdered by Hamas's sneak  attack. )

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) also moved to block a planned weapons sale to Israel. And they have lots of supporters.

Notice something else. When Donald Trump was president, he engineered the Abraham Accords, which brought peace to the region.  The reasoning is quite easy to understand. As long as Israel had ironclad American support of President Trump, who unlike Joe Biden abided by The Taylor Force law, which prohibits US aid to countries or groups like Hamas and the PLO who support terrorism and stopped funding the PLO, it had the effect of creating a peaceful environment, except for the fact that Mahmoud Abbas refused any negotiations.

 Mahmoud Abbas's Lies On Israel And The Balfour Declaration ...

 

 And the Emirate Countries, Sudan, etc were happy to establish relations with Israel, while the Saudis were just a step away. After all, they wanted to be friendly with Israel and if America supported Israel, well and good, we want that too! But now, after Biden gave hundreds of millions of US dollars* to the PLO and Hamas, who definitely got a share, and had begun refinancing UNRWA, whose 'mission is basically educating 'Palestinian' children that murdering Jews is a holy act and making Abbas's thesis saying the Holocaust was a hoax required reading, the Emirates and certainly the Saudis reason differently. Now, the story is that since America doesn't support Israel anymore, there really no need to get too involved with Israel. As for the Saudis, they're now trying to work out something with Iran, who they see as Biden's  new friend.

So what comes next?  Biden's obvious next step is to ally with EU countries like Ireland and Britain that have always hated Israel and attempt to threaten Israel with sanctions and perhaps even a military intervention unless they go back to the  pre 1967 lines and give Hamas and the Palestinians what they want. Again, this is exactly what Barack Obama wanted, which is why he and his lackeys pushed through resolution 2334, which no sovereign country with any desire to survive would have obeyed. Since it wasn't a series 7 security council resolution, Israel had no reason to obey this anti-semitic resolution with no teeth. Nor will Israel do so in the future, since they're not suicidal. 

Essentially, Biden is doing the same thing French President DeGaulle did to Israel in 1967 when he cut off all arms sales to Israel without warning on the eve of the Six Day War, even shipments Israel had already paid for. France was Israel's only arm supplier at the time. 

So what is Israel's solution? They obviously cannot depend on Joe Biden, who is simply the figurehead for Obama's 3rd term. His promise to replenish Israel's iron Dome defense missiles is not anything Israel can depend on. But his promise to give Hamas millions of dollars in aid to rebuild will definitely be kept. And that money will mostly be spent on more acquiring missiles, repairing terrorist  tunnels on Israel's border and other weaponry. It is also very probable that Biden will go back to the 'Iran deal', take away Iran's sanctions and give them a clear path to acquiring nuclear weapons.

This is one reason why the ceasefire was a mistake on Israel's part, since they will only have to fight a recovered Hamas again in the near future. Peace comes withvictory

While there are still a number of US military leaders and congress members who are pro Israel, they are not the ones with the power to change anything just now.

The best thing Israel could do now is strengthen the home front and prepare to defend itself alone. That could include the following:

1) A number of PLO paid thugs rioted in Israelis cities during the attack, especially in Lod, Jerusalem, Jaffa and Haifa among other places. Many of them aren't citizens, but even those who are and bit the hand feeding them need to be extradited from Israel. No country can survive with a fifth column like that within its borders.

2) Israel needs to stop being dependent on the US as an arms supplier to the largest degree possible . Israel has it's own state of the art arms industry perfectly capable of supplying Israel's needs. And spare  parts on US made articles Israel needs can certainly be re-engineered if necessary. Israel should also exercise great caution on any intel they give the US. As John Kerry showed them, the new regime is not to be trusted....with anything.

3) Israel needs to make it clear that a 'two state solution' is suicidal for them, that they will no longer tolerate having  terrorist enclaves on their borders...and that ANY FUTURE ATTACKS, terrorist or otherwise  WILL BE AN ACT OF WAR and fought to the endIsrael should know by now that negations with the PLO and Hamas are futile. The only reason the sham goes on is to pacify people like Obama and Biden. And how well that worked is now obvious!   A superb opportunity to end the problem of Gaza once and for all has been missed. Ditto with Judea and Samaria. Hopefully that won't be repeated.

4) Israel should expel the Jordanian Wakh from the Temple Mount and appoint a committee consisting of Jews, Muslims of proven loyalty who are Israeli citizens and perhaps Christians and Druse to administer the Temple Mount peacefully for all faiths. As for Jordan's Wakh? They have been tested and found unworthy and untrusty.

5)Israel needs to improve the protection of it's borders.

6) Eventually, Israel will have to come to battle with Hamas and the PLO. Those plans should be worked on now if they aren't already done.

What Happens When the Aliens Land????

 

 The meaning and symbolism of the word - «Aliens»

Now that many high-powered politicians/scientists are confirming Aliens visiting the Earth. I'd like to ponder the effect on us. I can picture a Spaceship landing...the door opening and out steps the visitor. I guess we'll all expect him to say, "Take me to your Leader." He might preface it with:
 
"As-salamu alaikum, God bless you, or, Shalom! Now, that's the problem. Would his greeting confirm one religion and negate the others? Maybe he would talk about an altogether different religious belief that is in extreme contrast to what is known here. Do other beings pray 5 times a day, receive Holy communion, study the Torah? Folks may begin to believe that their religion is all a hoax.
 
 Space-visitors will NOT disprove God, not at all! A divine-intelligence is acknowledged by all, except people who believe in a causeless-cause. But, one doesn't pray to a 'causeless cause' nor find any solace in a dark night of the soul. However, it will put extreme pressure on the random Clergy to explain what it all means? Maybe most will notice that their tithing is inimical to their own financial 
well-being while Ministers live like Kings!
 
 I read of a trend: Artificial-intelligence Churches. Unsure of the dogma but, it will give people what they really want/need. Someone to talk to and feel they are loved. The computer program will remember your name. When you wake up you'll have a personalized message just for you and, no doubt thousands of other congregants. But, it will feel personal. 
 
And what is the difference? Your current religion has millions of members and yet you feel that the creator hears your prayers and pleadings. Thus, unless the Space visitors can confirm one religion over another, we will all consider ourselves having been fooled and suckers. I predict chaos, mental illness and violence. Civilization is hanging by a thread. Some may feel that thread is already snapped! Aliens are the sword of Damocles! Like most societal-upheavals it will be a must see TV. 
 
 I'd like to end this on a personal note. I went to Catholic School. I grew to hate it! Sure, I prayed for my personal salvation. But, I found betrayal all around me there and when I left. Oh! Some excellent times too. My whole life was hardly a horror. But, on dark nights of the Soul I used to ponder the scripture about God creating the world and all its creatures. Murder didn't take long, if you recall Cain and Able. My take was and is, "What is so great about human beings that we are the only ones in the universe???" I do not believe in the innate divinity of Man-kind. So, another creature from outer-space would not at all surprise me. As per affection, with humans My average is a little less than 50/50. The only creatures I love unabashedly are dogs! And, in case you haven't noticed they appear to be irreligious. So, bring on the Space-men! I would not at all be surprised if they open their hatch, peer outside and, a la Bette Davis exclaim, "What a dump!"

The AP Lied...They were Fully Aware That They Were 'Human SHields For A Hamas Strong point

 Jala Tower (Mohammed Abed / AFP / Getty)

 

 One of the important sites Israel took out in Gaza yesterday was the Jala Tower in Gaza, which was a major Hamas base with intelligence assets, communications and missile controls. The same building also  also housed the Associated Press, Al Jazeera, and other international news outlets...if you want to call them that.

Anyone familiar with the AP knows that they have been seriously biased against Israel almost since it's birth.Ditto for most of the other media outlets who were in theTower.

 the Associated Press and the other media  denied  that the building was being used by terrorists, and the AP and other  international news outlets  accused Israel of trying to stop the press from covering what was going on in Gaza.

Actually, the AP has operated from the Jala Tower for 15 years, including through
three previous wars between Israel and Hamas. During those conflicts as well as the current one, the APs used cameras from its top floor office and roof terrace to offer 24-hour live shots as 'militants’ rockets arched toward Israel and Israeli airstrikes hammered the city and its surroundings.

“We have had no indication Hamas was in the building or active in the
building,” AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt said in a statement. “This is something we actively check to the best of our ability. We would never knowingly put our journalists at risk.”

Really, Mr. Pruitt? Puh-leese! You have been using the building for 15 years and covering other attacks on Israel from Hamas and you weren't aware theywere using it, even though you took pictures of them launching rockets from the building?

 A former AP reporter wrote about Hamas operations and rocket launches from the tower “right beside their office” back in 2014.And I myself have seen such photos and videos....from the AP

So why would the AP or any of the other outlets, all of whom like Al Jazeera are very anti Israel choose to use as a nest a building they KNEW was a Hamas strong point? Hmmm?

Here's why. They knew very well that the tower was an important Hamas outpost, but also figured that if Israel knew the press was there, they would probably avoid attacking it. 

In other words, they were willing human shields for Hamas. Which of course is material aid to terrorists,

As for Israel, they were able to provide smoking gun evidence to US intelligence  that not only was Hamas operating from the Jala Towers, but that the press was fully aware of this. 

According to Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi “We showed them the smoking gun ebeidence proving Hamas worked out of that building, I understand they found the explanation satisfactory.”

Israel Must Let The Lion Of Judah Roar

 

 (a)Lion of Judah 36" X 60" Worship Flag - Potters Heart

 

Israel has been under a violent attack from Hamas, Fatah and the PLO for over a week. Here's the real story, why it happened and what it means. 

 Pollak: Ceasefire in Gaza Would Give Palestinian Terrorists, and Iran, a Victory

 

As always, this comes from two sources...hatred of Jews and incitement and violence from Hamas, the PLO And Fatah and second, their new found ally, the Biden Administration which emboldened them to launch a full blown war. 

Let's examine what actually happened here. In 1875,  the chief rabbis of Jerusalem bought buildings in the Sheikh Jarra neighborhood in north east Jerusalem. They registered their purchase first with the Ottoman Empire, who ruled the area then and later with the British, who took over after WWI. 

After 1948, when the Jordanian Army and their British officers ethnically cleansed East Jerusalem from all Jews, the buildings were leased to Arabs as 'enemy property.' When Israel liberated Jerusalem after Jordan attacked Israel in the '67 war, the Jewish owners registered their buildings again with the Israeli Land Authority and started legal proceedings to gain control of their property. The Arab tenants, who weren't paying rent, finally acknowledged after a 1982 lawsuit that the Jews owned the property but refused to leave and kept appealing, none of which were successful.

 Mahmoud Abbas's Lies On Israel And The Balfour Declaration ...

Enter Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the PLO. Abbas, who has been the PLO's dictator for 16 years in what was supposed to be a 4 year term had finally agreed to an election. When the polls showed that Hamas would win, he cancelled the elections using  Israel's insistence  that non-citizen Arabs in Jerusalem would have to vote online or go to Area A to vote, not in Israeli territory. 

So Abbas used Sheik Jarra as an excuse to incite riots and violence in Jerusalem, Haifa, Lod, Jaffa  and other mixed Jewish and Arab cities, claiming Israel was plotting encroachments on Al-Aqsa and using that quite successfully to incite terrorism. When you have a gift of $239 million from the Biden Administration and his handlers, you can buy a lot of terrorist thugs and the PLO obviously did. Never mind that giving the PLO this money since they finance terrorists who murder Jews violated the Taylor Force Law prohibiting funding terrorism. 

The Washington Free Beacon reported last March that “the Biden administration privately confirmed to Congress just before the attacks and violence  that the Palestinian Authority has continued to use international aid money to reward terrorists. But hey Joe and his handlers said the finding won’t impact its plans to restart funding.” And as we now know, it didn't, US law or no.

 Joe Biden may say Israel has a right to defend itself, but his actions say something very different. Aside from giving the PLO this money in violation of US law, , he is also now funding UNRWA again,a UN organization that has been linked with Hamas and specializes in brain washing and indoctrinating Palestinian school kids in the joys of murdering Jews. Abbas's book of Holocaust denial is required reading. And everyone of Biden's appointments that have anything to do with foreign policy or the Middle East was filled with Israel haters, many of them who worked in the Obama administration, one of the most hostile to Israel ever. 

The Washington Free Beacon reported last March that “the Biden administration privately confirmed to Congress last week that the Palestinian Authority has continued to use international aid money to reward terrorists but said the finding won’t impact its plans to restart funding.”

What really made Abbas and Hamas really bold enough to start this war was the frigid attitude toward Israel by the Biden administration and his handlers, who now favor the 'Palestinians.'

Hamas got in  because aside from having an arsenal of rockets, if an election was to be held, they wanted to be known as the more Jew hating faction.  A source of mine who would know  also told me that there is evidence that the rockets and other incendiaries Hamas had came from Iran, and that also Hamas received some of the Biden money as well to pay for the rockets and other incendiaries. Over 1,000 missiles were fired at Israel just between May 10-12, resulting in loss of life and extensive damage, and sending hundreds of thousands of Israelis to bomb shelters.

So what does this mean for Israel? Simple, it is a much needed lesson and an opportunity. 

Lesson 1: Finish the job so it won't need to be repeated.

Israel has had several major terrorist  attacks from Hamas to deal with since these terrorists took over Gaza. And they all have ended with ceasefires under pressure  from the UN, certain EU countries, and certain US administrations. The 'ceasefires' meant absolutely nothing. They were simply breathers for Hamas and Islamic Jihad to regroup and start the next attack, at a time of their choosing.

Instead of a ceasefire, if Israel wants peace with Hamas, it will have to destroy them,  regain Gaza and resettle it. When you take away an enemy's proximity to your border and their base it makes it very difficult for them to attack you. As I and  others said at the time, it was a mistake to give up Gaza and be lulled by false promises from the UN, the EU and President George Bush that they would commit to making sure it wouldn't be a security threat to Israel. When Hamas took it over they did nothing of the kind, and Israel was stuck with a hostile terrorist enclave on its border. Note to Israel:Don't make the same mistake twice. Do not make a ceasefire. Finish Hamas off once and for all and resettle it with  Israeli citizens. Israel has the capability to make Gaza a Mid East Singapore. Let the Lion of Judah roar! Peace comes from victory. Open the Ramallah crossing to Egypt  and allow the current inhabitants who aren't terrorists  to leave peacefully. And if Mahmoud Abbas starts whining to get Gaza back, tell him to get lost.

Lesson 2: Israel will have to re-examine their relationship with Arabs they have allowed to live in Israel. 

Lots of travelers to Israel have been surprised by the relatively peaceful co-existence between Arabs and Jews. But what has happened now means that Israel will have to take a good look at that. Let us not generalize. The Druse, Circassions, Christian Arabs and others have no problem living in Israel. It's a better life then any of the surrounding countries would give them. Many serve in the IDF. But the lynching, the burning of synagogues, the riots and the arson in Jerusalem, Lod and other mixed cities shows us that a number of the Arabs in Israel have hatred in their hearts that was concealed until now, when they were hired by the PLO as shock troops. Again, Abbas felt comfortable doing this because he knows who is really running the White House. And he had the payroll available to prove it. He would never have dared do it when President Trump was in office, because President Trump had an ironclad support of Israel. And as you might have noticed, terrorist pay for slay attacks went down while Trump was in charge. And peace accords like the Abraham Accords brought peace to the region.

Actually, this attack from some of Israel's Arabs has been signaled for quite some time. Israel has an Arab List Party which has ALWAYS been hostile to Israel. After the elections, those who won Knesset seats have always refused to swear in properly or to sing Israel's national anthem HaTikvah. Several of them have been banned from Israel for espionage and support for Israels terrorist neighbors. None of the Knesset Arab members have said anything negative about the riots, the vandalism or the rocket attacks.  

Israel also has an Arab Supreme Court Justice who also refuses to sing the national Anthem or swear in properly. In Jerusalem, where massive Arab riots occurred, is anyone surprised? There are an estimated several thousand Arabs who live in east Jerusalem but rejected Israel citizenship. While the Arabs ethnically cleansed their Jews in almost every Arab Nation, the Israelis, after they recaptured East Jerusalem in1967 after Jordan attacked Israel, allowed these people to stay. A huge mistake. These particular Arabs are a huge source of crime, violence and what I can only call collusion with Israel's enemies.During the period before Israel's security barrier was built, many of them were happy to help Arafat's suicide bombers hit their targets..civilians in markets, restaurants, you name it.  By their actions now, they have shown Israel that they are harboring bitter enemies who would be happy to see every Jew in Jerusalem murdered. No country can live with such a violent group of enemies in its midst. They need to be culled. No democracy can flourish with a fifth column in its midst. The same is true with Arabs who rioted and attacked Israeli police and civilians in places like Lod, Jaffa, Haifa and other mixed Jewish/Arab cities. They even burned down a synagogue. Simply put, the Jew hating Arabs need to be removed and those Arabs who did not riot, support Israel and  want to remain living there can perhaps be acceptable.

The alternative? More of the same. And that, frankly is suicidal.

Lesson 3: Take control of the Temple Mount:

Israel did something very wrong after the Six Day War, courtesy of the leftist Labor Party who were in control at the time. When Israel was attacked by Jordan after King Hussein had promised to stay out of the way and then treacherously attacked Israel with artillery aimed at civilians, the IDF  retook East Jerusalem and ran the Jordanian army back over the Jordan River, where they belonged. For whatever reason, they ignored advice from the military and didn't do the same to the Jordanian citizens living in Judea and Samaria..now know as 'Palestinians'. Mistake number two was to allow Jordan to appoint a wakf to administer the mosque on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism. The wakh turned out to be nothing but trouble...throwing rocks down on Jews who were praying at the Western Wall, destroying artifacts that showed connection with Judaism, digging and damaging and causing a riot whenever any Jews were allowed on the Temple Mount. For a long time, they weren't. Nowadays Jews who visit the Temple Mount get cursed, have rocks and bottles  thrown at them and sometimes are even assaulted.

The lesson in short form? When something is sacred and important to you, don't give control of it to an enemy...or share it, and an enemy if a quiet one is exactly what Jordan is where Israel is concerned. What Israel and Jordan have is not a friendly relationship but a  ceasefire, which Jordan respects somewhat for good reason. Every effort to share holy places with the Arabs has ended up with vandalizing, violence and sometimes even death. 

The solution is rather simple. Tell Jordan that their Wakh members and their playmates  are headed home, and that in the future, Israel will create a committee of Rabbis,peaceful Muslims of proven loyalty and Christian clergy to create rules so that all faiths can visit the Temple Mount in safety  and work together care for its welfare. And the Temple Mount can never again be used as an excuse for terrorism, arson and violence.

Lesson 4: Forget about the two state formula and let the world know it.

Even after the hideous attacks on Israel, we're still hearing nonsense about a ' two state solution.' Here is a sample of the kind of peace loving folks  people like Peter Beinart,Joe Biden and Boris Johnson  insist that Israel has to live next to..... 

Hamas Political Bureau Member and former Minister of the Interior Fathi Hammad has a few things to say about peace and co-existance. According to the Middle East Media Research Institute , Hammad said this on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV a week ago on Friday:

“People of Jerusalem, we want you to cut off the heads of the Jews with knives. With your hand, cut their artery from here. A knife costs five shekels. Buy a knife, sharpen it, put it there, and just cut off [their heads]. It costs just five shekels. With those five shekels, you will humiliate the Jewish state.” Hammad continued with a quotation from the Qur’an: “‘You shall find the strongest in enmity towards the believers to be the Jews and the polytheists.’” That’s Qur’an 5:82. Hammad added: “The Jews have spread corruption and acted with arrogance, and their moment of reckoning has come. The moment of destruction at your hands has arrived.” 

Consider that Israel actually made a number of  attempts to live in peace with the so-called 'Palestinians' who  made no attempts to do the same and instead gave Israel horrendous terrorism on a grand scale in exchange. So  it is high time Israel made public that they will not by any means accept a two state solution on their land, which according to the San Remo Accords and Article 80 of the UN Charter extends to the Jordan River's west bank and includes all of Judea and Samaria AKA The 'West Bank'.

To do so would amount to suicide.  

But,  for those who insist on a two state solution, like the UK's Boris Johnson, I must admit their is a solution. Here it is...

 

 Coronavirus: Boris Johnson says only report rule breakers ...

I'll tell you what BoJo. If you want a 'Palestinian state', the solution's simple! Your country seems to love them, so why not bring them to YOUR Country, hmm? We all are aware how well Islamists have assimilated to the UK....peaceful, hard working, never on the dole, never any trouble, polite to your  women, a joy to have around. So here's your opportunity BoJo to inherit some lovely people and even give them their own country! I'm sure you'll just adore them. Do take them into your bosom, I guarantee you'll just love them! And so will the Brits. You might even get a Noble Peace Prize. Barack Obama got one for doing nothing, so I think you'd really have a shot at it.
 
After all, big cities like London and Birmingham already have large Muslim populations  already, don't they? London"s Mayor Sadiq Khan, who said terrorism is just something a big city should expect from time to time right after the London Bridge truck murders just got re-elected as mayor. Your new friends could just settle in London and be perfectly at home until you create their new country. And then both Israel and you will be all smiles.

Justice in New York Doesn't Exist Anymore

Report: Bronx Judge Orders Alleged NYC Synagogue Vandal ...

Justice in New York doesn't exist anymore, that's a fact.

Jordan Burnette, 29 engineered a hateful one man war against Jewish synagogues, Jewish businesses, and a Jewish community center in the Bronx.  Since he broke glass in several burglaries, one judge in the Bronx courts went rebel.Bronx Criminal Court Judge Louis Nock ordered a  $20,000 bail  after the jurist reviewed the state’s bail reform laws and determined that monetary bond was legal in the case.

Guess what? Another Bronx jurist, Tara Collins, reversed this and ordered Burnette released without bail. Burnette was hit with 42 charges, including burglary as a hate crime and criminal trespass as a hate crime for attacks on synagogues and a Jewish community center during which he smashed windows, vandalized the buildings  and doused religious books in hand sanitizer.

“This is not a crime for which we can ask for bail, as the law exists and the Legislature oversees it,” argued Assistant District Attorney Theresa Gottlieb before the case was called a second time. “The Legislature did not in fact include hate crimes under bail-eligible offenses. "Given the number of attacks, we probably would have asked for substantial bail before January of 2020."

She's right, hate crimes aren't bail eligible  in New York....especially if Jews are the targets. 

"Bail reform" laws in New York, California,, and a few other states allows the release of suspects on personal recognizance — that is, without putting up any money to guarantee they'll even show up in court for prosecution on the crimes of which they have been accused.  In Burnette's case, he was arrested while riding a bicycle stolen from one of the vandalized synagogues, and there is surveillance tape of him committing some of the vandalism.

Here's a list of the felonies you can walk out of court scott free in New York. I guarantee you won't believe it. Keep in mind that a released felon can threaten his accuser to drop the charges or else, intimidate witnesses to say they didn't see anything, even bribe witnesses in their favor or of course, simply leave town.

New York, slowly but surely is becoming a lawless place to live...especially for Jews.Hardly a week passes without Jews being assaulted or mugged on the streets.
