Guess where there's a baby boom

After World War Two, there was a massive baby boom in many nations: the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Ireland. 

In the US, the boom began roughly in 1946 and went until 1964, but peaked in the late 1950s. Canada was similar, running from about 1947 to 1966 with the biggest boom right after the war.

So which country do you think is going through a baby boom now?

If you guessed Israel you have guessed right. Israel has always loved babies and for the past 76 years, brought lots of them into the world. In fact, the Jewish state has brought relatively more rug rats than any other Western country and continue to do so.

But while the drive to produce offspring endures, even during difficult times, Israel is experiencing a new wartime baby boom. Unlike other nations that have experienced this phenomenon after wars, Israel is one of the first, if not the first, to experience a boom during an ongoing war.

Where do they find the time?

Rachel Fink, writing in Israel's left wing daily Haaretz, noted that despite 15 months of war, “Israel is experiencing a 10 percent increase in births during the final months of 2024 – after recent indications that Israel is experiencing a downturn in fertility.”

Keep it up, guys and gals.

Am Yisrael Chai!

Suspected car ramming 'terror attack' injures 7 in Israel

A 23-year-old Muslim jihadi from "Palestine" was in Tel Aviv on a medical permit because Israel will treat anyone in medical need, including Muslims. Not so much vice-versa. He drove his vehicle up onto the sidewalk with the intent of killing as many Jews as he could. He got out of the car, brandished a knife, and began systematically stabbing people, according to police

Multiple people were wounded in what is described as a vehicular terror attack in Israel on Tuesday.

"We understand that he was alone, and we have no doubt that this was an attack," said Tel Aviv Police District Commander Ami Eshed, according to Haaretz, a left-leaning liberal tabloid.

"[Police] are taking action to find out if the assailant was accompanied by anyone else. This is a difficult event but currently the situation is stable," the officer added.

Officials identified the assailant, an anti-Semitic terrorist reportedly from the Palestinian village of Samua, near Hebron, according to Tazpit Press Service. He was reportedly shot and killed by a civilian bystander at the scene of the attack and is now descending into the bowels of hell where he will get 72 virgins, and young boys to tend to him.

Officials report that seven individuals suffered injuries, including one 46-year-old woman who was evacuated to a nearby hospital with severe stab wounds. Terrorist are cowards who like to stab women and children because they offer less defense in most cases.

Hamassholes released a statement calling the attack the "first response" to Israeli military operations in the West Bank.

"The heroic action in Tel Aviv is the first response to Israel's crimes against our people in the Jenin refugee camp. As the [Palestinian] resistance has already put it – Israel will pay the price for its crimes," Hamasshole spokes-coward Hazem Kassem said, according to a report from Haaretz. Obviously Kassem never read the Old Testament that shows the Jews lived in Israel before Mohammed killed his first Jew.

The Israeli military deployed thousands of troops and drones in an attack on a Palestinian militant stronghold in the West Bank on Sunday night and expect the nearly 2,000 IDF troops to remain in Jenin for up to 48 hours after launching the operation.

The IDF says they searched lower floors of the mosque where militants had barricaded themselves and "located two pits that contained explosive devices, weapons and military equipment affiliated with the terrorist organizations." They see killing Jews as a religious mandate--it's in the Qur'an.

Palestinian officials say at least eight Hamassholes were killed and 50  were wounded in the attack, which was larger than any operation Israel has carried out this year.

Jenin has been a snakepit of Palestinian terrorist activity for months, with Iranian-backed militants carrying out attacks within Israel.

But they hate it when the Jews fight back.

Grandson of Munich jihadi terrorist disavows family past

California Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar, whose grandfather was one of the terrorists who murdered 11 Israelis at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, was a long-shot in his bid to oust Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.). Unfortunately for Hunter, he and his wife have been charged with illegally using campaign funds for personal expenses.

Hunter is putting the blame on his wife, Margaret, which doesn't seem to bode well for his marriage.

"She was also the campaign manager, so whatever she did that'll be looked at too, I'm sure," he told Martha MacCallum of Fox News. "But I didn't do it. ... I didn't spend any money illegally."

The election should have easily gone to Hunter in the overwhelmingly red district, but with the current problem he is facing, it's quite possible he will lose  the election.

Held at gunpoint and then slaughtered

Najjar is a 29-year-old with no political experience. He has both Mexican and Palestinian heritage and he is quick to disavow himself to his grandpa, Muhammad Yusuf al-Najjar, one of the scum who killed 11 captured, unarmed Israelis on the Israel soccer team.

Campa-Najjar points out that he has never met his grandpa, but that's because he was killed by Israeli commandos 16 years before he was born. In a statement last week, the former Obama administration Labor Department official took a shot at Hunter while disavowing his grandfather.

"I'm happy to take responsibility for my own choices and my own decisions," Campa-Najjar began. "I think other men are responsible for their own crimes, whether it's somebody who I share a lineage with and nothing else, or a sitting congressman who's being indicted and could face serious charges in the future."

His campaign said that while he is proud of his heritage of Islamic conquest and killing, he is "American first." [Okay, they didn't say it exactly that way.]

Campa-Najjar told Fox News that he isn't concerned over the fact that his grandfather was a murdering piece of human excrement.

"I'm not concerned, but I think it shows Hunter is concerned," he said. "My opponents have to go back three generations to attack me. I can go back three days to highlight something pretty damning about him."

And this has become the Democratic strategy. Absent of ideas, all they have are personal attacks and identity politics.

Israeli media drew attention to Campa-Najjar this year in a short article in the left-leaning rag Haaretz reporting that he seeks a peaceful solution to the Middle East conflict, unlike his grand-pappy.

Hunter and his wife, Margaret, pleaded not guilty to the charges against them and he claims the prosecution is politically motivated. But the charges total to $250,000 and Hunter is having a tough time explaining it away.

Still, Campa-Najjar still faces an uphill climb as the Dems try to depict him as a sexy dude in campaign ads. He picked up only 17.5 percent in the district's primary and will need to convince a boat load of Hunter voters to vote for him.

His website calls for a shift to 'Medicare for all,' which is a popular socialist, but totally insane rallying cry of the left. The liberal tard-maven Alexandria Ocasio-Bugeye-Cortez referred to Campa-Najjar as her "progressive brother."

That should tell you all you need to know about his politics, in spite of his lack of political transparency.

What we know about him is that he does not support Trump's call for a border wall, and believes in a pathway for citizenship for illegal aliens secreted into the country as children [now up to the age of 37] and supports tougher fines for employers who break immigration laws. He does not support abolishing ICE, but this could all be campaign rhetoric--and I don't trust him as he refused to answer questions whether he was a moderate of a leftist progressive like Ocasio-Cha-Cha-Cha-Cortez.

"I don't really care for labels [because they define your political philosophy and he doesn't want to reveal that until he's elected], I've been labeled under the sun, and I'm not one who really fits into anyone's label. I am who I am [he's Popeye the Sailor Man]. I'm comfortable in my skin and my views come via my life experiences," he claimed.

Campa-Najjar is Christian and is the son of a Palestinian Muslim father (he spent part of his childhood in Gaza) and a Catholic Mexican-American mother.

If he beats Hunter, it would tragic.

Is Hamas about to be defeated in Gaza?

It's hopefully coming to a conclusion: Israel and Hamas. Israel's Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said on Sunday that Israel was "closer than ever" to toppling Hamas in Gaza "if there is no other choice."

Steinitz made the statement after two days of intense cross-border violence between Hamas and Israel last week. He also sits on Israel's security cabinet so he may know something more than the average person.

He told the local media that Israel has not signed a ceasefire agreement with Hamas after these latest escalations, contrary to reports coming from officials in Gaza. He said that overthrowing Hamas was "definitely an option" and added that Israel was not interested in escalating this into a full-scale war.

The violence grew worse beginning in March when Palestinian protests in Gaza were held near the border with Israel. But in recent weeks, there have been at least three major violent conflicts, the most recent on Thursday when Hamas fired about 180 rocket and mortar rounds across the border the previous night.

Three Palestinians were killed in Israeli retaliatory strikes, including a mother and her 18-month-old child, according to Hamas, and seven Israelis were wounded in the rocket fire. It was discovered later that the photo of the child who was "killed" came from an Instagram photo of an American child very much alive, making one question the validity of anything Hamas says.

The recent violence is the heaviest since the 2014 Operation Protective Edge.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday demanded a "total" ceasefire from Hamas.

"We are in the midst of a campaign against terror in Gaza," Netanyahu said in his opening statement of a Cabinet meeting. "It will not end with one blow."

"Our demand is clear: a total ceasefire. We shall not be satisfied with less than that," he said.

Israeli hardliners in the Cabinet have called upon the prime minister to act more strongly against the latest Hamas aggressions.

"You guys go; I'll wait here"

The latest violence has the UN and Egypt increasing efforts to get a truce deal between Israel and Hamas, but they're dealing with an Islamic religious war that has the blessings of the Koran's anti-Semitic commandments.

About 170 Palestinian "protesters" have been killed by Israeli military fire, most of whom were members of Hamas and others who may have been Hamasshole hopefuls. One Israeli soldier was killed by a sniper since the border fighting began in March.

The Hamas terror group has demanded Israel and Egypt lift an 11-year blockade on Gaza in order to allow the import of more weapons and supplies to reach them.

Israel has been demanding that Hamas and their wannabe followers quit launching incendiary projectiles across the border which have been burning large swathes of Israeli territory.

On Sunday, Israeli daily Haaretz, a left-leaning Hebrew/English newspaper with a circulation of about 72,000, reported that officials in Jerusalem [Israel's capital] were forming a plan to assassinate several senior Hamas leaders. However, it would first wait to determine the outcome of upcoming negotiations brokered by Egypt and the [anti-Zionist] UN before going ahead with the assassinations.

"Thank you, Haaretz, for the warning," Hamas whispered.
