Rama Duwaji, NYC First Lady, deletes old X account on account of it glorifying Islamic terrorists, Jew hatred and no love for USA

NYC Mayor Comrade Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, deactivated an old X account after a series of resurfaced posts showed her praising Palestinian terrorists, bashing Israel, and criticizing the US military.

The 28-year-old first lady of New York City, who has faced intense backlash over her social media history these past two weeks, removed the account a day after the Washington Free Beacon exposed a collection of disturbing posts she made on X and Tumblr during her teenage years and early twenties.

Although her X account, under the username @_RamaDee, has now been deleted as of Thursday, Duwaji’s public Instagram page, boasting 2 million followers, remains very much active.

Some might say

The wife of the socialist comrade mayor has come under sustained fire for her past online activity, ever since it emerged last week that she had liked Instagram posts celebrating Hamas’s deadly October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, including one that dismissed as a “mass hoax” the rapes carried out by the terror group against hostages and victims.

One cannot help but notice the pattern here: a young woman who once openly admired figures like Leila Khaled, the notorious plane hijacker, and members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, now finds those youthful declarations inconveniently returning to public view, just as her husband occupies the highest office in America’s largest city. 

The deletions and the silences speak volumes, even if the words themselves have been quietly taken down.

Karen Bass nearly has a cow after Trump freezes UCLA funds--but wait, there's more!

Well look who's throwing a tantrum now. Failed Los Angeles Democrat Mayor Karen Bass took to social media late Friday night, positively seething over news that the Trump administration yanked over half a billion bucks in funding from UCLA for playing footsie with anti-Semitism on campus. Apparently, the university thought it could just ignore those pesky allegations of Jew-hatred without consequence. 

They thought wrong.

Bass, who's never been accused of being the brightest light on the Chanukah bush  (remember when she jetted off to Ghana while the Palisades wildfires raged, only to mosey back like it was no big deal?), is predictably late to the outrage party. And oh boy, she is gonna lose her tiny mind when she hears the latest: The Trump administration is now gunning for a billion-dollar settlement from UCLA. Yes, you read that right, a cool $1 billion for letting their campus turn into a cesspool of civil rights violations tied to anti-Semitism during those oh-so-enlightened pro-Palestinian protests.

The deal on the table is that UCLA coughs up the billion in installments, sets up a $172 million fund for victims of discrimination, and makes some actual policy changes. We're talking revamping their protest rules, rethinking those race-based scholarships, and, get this, cutting funding for gender-affirming care at UCLA's hospital. No more little boys getting their wee-wees chopped off, nor girls their breasts. 

This is reasonable stuff, unless you're one of the woke overlords running UCLA into the dirt, in which case you're probably clutching your pearls and screaming about the end of the world.

UC President James Milliken, for instance, is out here whining that the financial hit would "devastate" UCLA's research mission and the entire public university system. 

"As a public university, we are stewards of taxpayer resources and a payment of this scale would completely devastate our country's greatest public university system as well as inflict great harm on our students and all Californians," Milliken bleated in a statement. Sorry Jimmy, maybe if you had been better "stewards" of taxpayer cash instead of letting your campus become a playground for liberal lunacy, you wouldn't be in this mess. 

Just spitballing here.

Meanwhile, $584 million in federal research funding is already on ice as leverage, and Bass is not a fan. She called it a "reckless decision" that "will have devastating consequences for scientific progress." 

UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk is also having a full-on meltdown, warning, "If these funds remain suspended," per Politico, "it will be devastating for UCLA and for Americans across the nation."

Let’s be real: Nobody is losing sleep over UCLA potentially ponying up a billion bucks for fostering bigotry, ignoring it, and then doubling down. And honestly, they'd be a lot better off, maybe even earn a modicum of respect, if they ditched the racial discrimination, anti-Semitism, and advocacy for child mutilation. Just a thought.

That being said, what are your thoughts?

A Blaze of Hatred in Boulder: The West Faces Its Reckoning

In Boulder, Colorado, a place one might naively associate with peaceable liberalism, a "targeted terror attack" has scorched the streets, leaving victims burned, some clinging to life, and a community reeling.

 The Federal Bureau of Investigation, under Director Kash Patel, is now dissecting this act of barbarism, which unfolded near the Pearl Street Mall on a Sunday afternoon, around 4:30 p.m., where the air turned thick with chaos and the stench of malevolence and, dare I say, full-blown anti-Semitism.

"We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado," Patel posted on X.  "Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available." 

A man is in custody, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn confirmed, though he offered no further details, as if silence could shield us from the truth. 

The attack struck near an event organized by "Run for Their Lives," a grassroots movement that dares to demand the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. 

This was no random act of violence; it was a calculated assault on those who marched for a cause both moral and humane.  Anyone who believes otherwise has their head buried in the sand.

As Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, rightly stated, "Today, in Boulder, Colorado, Jewish people marched with a moral and humane demand: to return the hostages. In response, the Jewish protesters were brutally attacked, with an attacker throwing Molotov cocktails at them. Make no mistake, this is not a political protest, this is terrorism." 

His words burn with clarity: this is not a debate, not a clash of ideas, but a raw, unfiltered act of hatred. "The time for statements is over," Danon insisted. "It is time for concrete action to be taken against the instigators wherever they may be."

The scene was one of pandemonium. Boulder police evacuated three surrounding blocks, expanding the cordon just before 5:15 p.m., as if the very ground had become suspect. Colorado’s Governor Jared Polis, not a man known for hyperbole, called it a "heinous act of terror." On X, he wrote, "I am closely monitoring the situation in Boulder, and my thoughts go out to the people who have been injured and impacted by this heinous act of terror. Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable." 

Representative Joe Neguse, his voice heavy with grief, added simply, "I am praying hard for the victims."

We do not yet know the full toll, how many lie wounded, how many teeter on the edge of life. What we do know is that this was no isolated outburst. Danon’s warning resonates: "Terrorism against Jews does not stop at the Gaza border, it is already burning the streets of America." 

Something has to be done, and I believe Jews aren't going to continue allowing themselves to be victimized without serious repercussions for the perpetrators. 

The West, in its complacency, has allowed this fire to spread, fanned by those who mistake tolerance for surrender. "Run for Their Lives," a movement born in California’s Bay Area, meets weekly across the globe to quietly plead for the hostages’ freedom. Quietly. And yet, even this modest act of solidarity was met with Molotov cocktails.

This is the world we now inhabit—one where a walk for humanity is answered with flames. The question is not whether we will respond, but whether we have the courage to confront the ideology that fuels such acts. As Danon said, the time for statements is over. The West must decide: will it dither, or will it act?

Ireland wins the European Anti-Semitism Award

                         Former Irish justice minister Alan Shatter/screen grab

Ireland’s got a problem, and it’s not just the usual rain-soaked misery. The narrative around the Israel-Palestine conflict here is so warped it’s like watching a play where half the script’s been torn out. 

The story begins and ends with October 7, 2023, framed as some “event” that kicked everything off. Some so called journalists call it an atrocity but wink and nod, saying it’s “perhaps understandable.” From there, the tale spins into Israel playing the cartoon villain, “arbitrarily bombing and murdering Palestinians” for revenge. Nuance? Context? Good luck finding either.

Alan Shatter, former justice minister, isn’t having it. He’s as angry as a cat in a bathtub about the free pass given to “Hamas using Palestinian civilians as human shields.” He’s banging his head against a wall, trying to get Ireland to see that “Hamas is still intent on destroying Israel, that it wants to resume its total rule of Gaza.” 

But Ireland’s media? Nothing, because it's hard to see the light when your head is in your nether regions. 

Shatter, once a regular in Irish papers, says Shatter’s been “cancelled” since October 7 for daring to offer a view that doesn’t fit the approved script.

Then there’s Kneecap, the Northern Irish rap crew who’ve made a career out of provocation, and anti-Semitism is right up their alley.

Shatter doesn’t mince words, calling them “attention seeking, looking for notoriety by presenting as rebellious and deliberately engaging in commentary that attracts media attention.” He’s scathing about their name, a grim nod to IRA violence: “It’s very name is a cynical use of a name in the context of appalling atrocities perpetrated by the IRA in Northern Ireland.” You see, they used to shoot the British law enforcement members in their knees to inflict maximum pain and lifelong damage.

The band has been caught on tape chanting for Hamas and Hezbollah, waving the flag of a Lebanese terror group. Now they’re backpedaling, denying support for either because it doesn't bode well for them.

Shatter’s not buying it. On social media, he tore into their anemic apology: 

“Still too stupid to utter a single word of condolences to the loved ones & relatives of those bereaved that day [speaking about the victims of the Nova festival] or of condemnation of that atrocity. Regardless of their ideological brainwashing & lack of sincerity, just as PR at the very least that might have convinced some of their good intentions. Their whining, disingenuous statement of victimhood seeking some sort of martyrdom deserves no credibility & shouldn’t derail any current investigation.”

Kneecap’s rise isn’t some random fluke. Shatter sees them as a symptom of an Irish nationalist scene that’s cozying up to far-left and Islamist rhetoric on the Middle East. It’s not just talk—it’s spilling onto the streets. “People proudly marching in Dublin with Hamas and Hezbollah and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine flags, all chanting ‘from the river to the sea’ and calling for global Intifada.” That’s not a protest; it’s a parade of garbage ideas.

For Jews and Israel supporters in Ireland, it’s grim. Shatter’s blunt: “We have a real problem in this country. I think Ireland is not merely the most anti-Israel country in the European Union, or possibly in Europe. Unfortunately, the hostility to Israel has resulted in narratives being used on a regular basis that replicate the narratives in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.” He’s not pulling punches. “The only difference is the word Israel is substituted for Jew, or the word Zionist, is substituted for Jew.” Here, “Zionist” is a slur, and Kneecap’s riding that wave while the media nods along. “Part of the reason why the Irish journals – most of the Irish media – are uncritical of Kneecap is because Kneecap are simply saying stuff that most of them agree with.”

But it gets uglier. Shatter’s still reeling from a Holocaust memorial in Dublin this year where Jewish attendees were “man-handled and thrown out” for silently protesting President Higgins’ speech. 

“It never ever occurred to me that Jewish people would be man-handled and thrown out of a Holocaust remembrance, or a memorial event in Dublin City in 2025,” he says. He’s baffled that Higgins, a lifelong protester himself, just kept talking as Jews were being dragged out. 

“I cannot personally fathom how he continued to speak and watched Jewish members of that audience thrown out.” If Shatter had been speaking, he’d have stopped the show: “I would have stopped my speech and asked people not to so conduct themselves and to respect their protest.”

Is Ireland the most anti-Semitic country in Europe? 

Shatter doesn’t dodge: “There’s been an escalating problem of anti-Semitism, it already existed pre-October 7, 2023, it has escalated since then, and it is a continuing problem and concern.” He points the finger at Ireland’s leaders—every party, the Taoiseach, the foreign minister—who “never miss an opportunity to be critical of Israel” with “unnecessarily unbalanced” language. Hostages get a passing nod, but the narrative’s clear: Israel’s the bad guy, full stop.

Shatter’s worried—not just about now, but where Ireland’s headed. “I’m deeply concerned as to what’s happening in this country,” he says, both “what’s happening currently” and “where this country is heading to.” The only thing tempering the government’s rhetoric? Fear of crossing President Donald Trump. That’s how low the bar is.

A former Fine Gael man, Shatter ditched the party in 2018, fed up with its “moral compass” going AWOL, chasing headlines and tweets over substance. He’s not shocked by their current stance, but one thing does raise his eyebrow: Ireland’s cozying up to Iran. The embassy in Tehran reopened in October 2024, despite Iran’s government-level anti-Semitism and bankrolling of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Shatter’s incensed: “At no stage have they ever criticized Iran for its endemic – at government level – anti-Semitic pronouncements and its commitment to Israel’s destruction.”

He’s no fan of Israel’s decision to pull its ambassador from Ireland last year, either. Israel’s foreign minister, Gideon Saar, called Ireland’s actions and “anti-Semitic rhetoric” a “de-legitimization and demonization of the Jewish state.” Shatter calls it a “massive diplomatic own goal,” one that handed Ireland’s anti-Israel crowd a win.

Trying to talk sense about Israel in Ireland? Near impossible, says Shatter. “I’m frequently, and the past have been and still remain, a critic of some of the conduct of the Israeli government. But in Ireland, there’s no differentiation. It’s Israel is basically vilified.” The media and politicians won’t grapple with October 7’s impact or the fear that Hamas could regroup in Gaza and repeat the carnage. Ireland’s stuck in a one-note chant, and it’s drowning out reality.

London Mayor implies "Israel's military campaign" is part of a "betrayal of humanity"

London Mayor Sadiq Khan, singled out Israel for criticism during Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holiday during a greeting his week, while carefully ignoring the horrors committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, suggested the Jewish state was guilty of “betraying humanity” by killing Palestinians in Gaza.

The March 29 remarks by Khan, who is a Muslim member of the Labour Party, prompted strong-worded pushback by British Jewish community groups.

“More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza as a result of Israel’s ongoing military campaign, including more than 15,000 children,” Khan said in his greeting for Eid al-Fitr, a joyous holiday that marks the end of Ramadan. The “appalling suffering and killing that continues in Sudan and Palestine” were “betrayals of humanity” that “tempered” the holiday’s joy, he added.

These numbers were recently lowered by Hamas, by the way.

London mayor who let Hamas mobs terrorize Jewish communities and locked up people for even mentioning Islamic terrorism complains about alleged messages https://t.co/PNXMNPNvRZ

— Daniel Greenfield – "Hang Together or Separately" (@Sultanknish)

The Jewish Leadership Council, the umbrella group of British Jewish organizations and communities, said in a statement that it was “disappointed” that instead of promoting “unity and fellowship between Londoners,” Khan’s greeting spoke “in emotive terms about an international conflict which has resulted in an unprecedented rise in antisemitism across the United Kingdom.”

Others criticized Khan for repeating disputed statistics originating from the Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza.

Asked about these complaints by the Jewish News of London, a spokesperson for Khan told the newspaper: “The mayor has repeatedly conveyed his outrage at attacks by Hamas on Israel and has strongly condemned these acts of terrorism. He is deeply saddened by the loss of all lives and continues to support calls for a permanent ceasefire.”

Believe that and I have a goose to sell you that'll make you wealthy.

The poison of Islamic Jew hatred is like a knee-jerk mental illness and is older than dirt.

Never forget that Khan allowed Hamasshole mobs to terrorize Jewish communities and jailed people who even mentioned Islamic terrorism.

Erdoğan prays: "May Allah destroy Israel"

Turkish tuffy

The unhinged ravings of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan took a predictably sinister turn on Sunday, as the Islamist demagogue led Eid al-Fitr prayers at Istanbul’s Çamlıca Mosque.

According to Türkiye Today, Erdoğan seized the occasion marking Ramadan’s end to pray for Israel’s annihilation. “We see and know what is happening in Palestine,” he intoned, before invoking one of Allah’s more vengeful monikers: “May Allah, for the sake of his name ‘Al-Qahhar,’ destroy and devastate Zionist Israel.” 

For the uninitiated, Al-Qahhar translates from Arabic as “The Conqueror” or “The Subduer”—a fitting epithet for Erdoğan’s own tyrannical ambitions. Hitler's second coming went on: “And may we all, witnessing what is happening there [in the Gaza Strip], stay united, strong and resilient as brothers; may Allah keep our unity everlasting.” 

One can almost hear the jackboots clicking in unison and along mit dem Sig Heils, und so, but in Arabic.

In a separate English-language statement posted earlier that day to Ankara’s official channels, Erdoğan dialed up the sanctimony. “Particularly the genocide taking place in Gaza is constantly reaching a more alarming dimension,” the Jew-hater wrote, “with scenes that will tear out the heart of anyone who has even a little piece of conscience, morality, and reason.” 

Not that the October 7, 2023 massacre of Jews and subsequent killing of the Bibas babies along with their mother came close to tearing out the heart of anyone with a conscience, morality and a pair of eyes and ears to hear the screams, in this scumcrumpet Turk's evil mind.

Spare us the freaking tears. 

“As Türkiye, we take a clear stance against this atrocity and work to heal the wounds of our brothers and sisters through our aid,” he added, before prophesying: “The upcoming period will Inshallah [‘God willing’] lead to an awakening on this issue all across the world.” 

An awakening to what, exactly? The glories of the sick Hamassholes?

Erdoğan’s hostility toward Israel has festered like an open puss-sore since the terrorist group’s barbaric assault on southern Israel on that October 7th day. 

The Israeli Foreign Ministry, which has lately urged NATO to expel Turkey for flouting the alliance’s founding principles, offered no immediate comment—perhaps wisely avoiding a shouting match with a crazy bstrd. A spokesperson for NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte’s office dodged the issue entirely, directing inquiries back to Turkish authorities “for comment on the content and authenticity of the video.”

This is not Erdoğan’s first descent into blood-curdling rhetoric. In May 2024, he branded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the tired, worn out trope, calling him a “vampire who feeds on blood,” exhorting Muslims to wage war against the Jewish state. 

By July, he was telling Newsweek that the Palestinian terrorists who butchered 1,200 people—mostly civilians—on October 7 were merely “defending their homes, streets and homeland.” 

That same month, he threw subtlety to the wind, threatening outright invasion: “We must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these things to Palestine. Just as we entered Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we might do the same to them. There is nothing we cannot do.” 

Spoken like a true conqueror—or a subduer, if you prefer. The civilized world should take note: this is the voice of a man who dreams not of peace, but of domination.

Let freedom ring, gentle readers.

Jew hating pro-Hamas protestors get violent in New York's largest Jewish community

A group of Jew hating demonstrators infiltrated the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Brooklyn's Borough Park [known colloquially as Boro Park] and unleashed violence and chaos, as seen in video and reports. The neighborhood is home to more than 600,000 Jewish people with more than 300 synagogues.

Several fights broke out as the agitators chanted, "Zionists go to hell," and waved Palestinian flags.

The protest was led by the anti-Semitic "Pal-Awda" activist cretins, who said they were flooding Borough Park to demonstrate against the sale of "stolen Palestinian land," according to the group’s Instagram account. They said they were targeting an event that was selling real estate in Israel.

Of course the attack by these slime-buckets comes on a day when it was announced the Bibas children and mother died as hostages of the terrorists Pal-Awda supports.

The Times of Israel reported that the crowd separated into 3 parts. The anti-Israel protesters and a group of pro-Israel counter-protesters gathered inside opposing barricades on the street while a crowd of Jewish residents watched from the opposite sidewalk. 

There was a heavy police presence who mainly pulled people off of each other with only one arrest of a 42-year-old terrorist supporter who punched a 61-year-old man in the face. The man was treated at the scene by EMS.

Footage also shows a large knife on the ground. Police said they were not aware of the knife being used in any attack.

"How many kids did you kill today?" the anti-Israek protesters chanted to the beat of a snare drum, the Times of Israel reported. A better question might have been: "How many human targets did you use in Gaza for your propaganda bull crap?"

Some flashed their middle fingers [after removing them from their nose] at the Jewish pedestrians while children on their way home from local yeshivas [Jewish schools] watched from their school bus windows, the outlet reported.

"Settlers settlers go back home, Palestine is ours alone," the Jew haters yelled. Of course, they lack historical credence about this claim, while the Jews have lived in Israel thousands of years before Islam was created by a terrorist named Mohammad.

Counter-protesters waved Israeli flags and some carried MAGA flags and signs, which tells you how much religious Jews believe President Trump is a Nazi.

The Pal-Awda supporters were blasted online by Rep. Ritchie Torres, (D-NY) who represents parts of the Bronx and one of the few Democrats who supports Israel.

"It should come as a shock to no one that the pro-Hamas mob targeting Jews and promising to ‘flood’ Boro Park has descended into violence," he posted to X Tuesday night.

"Violence is not a bug but a feature of the so-called ‘Free Palestine’ movement, which has no desire to free Palestinians from Hamas."

Violence has for centuries been a feature of Islamic conquest, and no one should be afraid to point that out.

Ford Motors after their X account posts: "Israel is a terrorist state"

Henry Ford was a Jew hating American. 

For starters, he owned the newspaper The Dearborn Independent from 1919 to 1927 which published a series of articles such as "The International Jew: The World's Problem." This series pushed anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that suggested Jews controlled the economy, the media and politics. They were published not only in the U.S. but also translated and distributed globally and are believed to have influenced Hitler, who referenced Ford glowingly in "Mein Kampf."

Due to his personal financial concerns, Ford made a public apology in 1927 and retracted the Jew-hating accusations, but his apology has been debated by historians who argued his retraction was influenced by boycotts and legal concerns. Furthermore, Ford's views remained unclear and some correctly pointed out that he continued to associate with anti-Semitic scumcrumpets and the ongoing circulation of his own writings clearly showed that his views on Jews did not really change, and this has resulted in a significant blemish on his reputation.

Ford's contribution to the auto industry and the assembly-line manufacturing innovation is undeniable, as is his impact on promoting hatred against an entire population of people.

For a short period of time on Monday the X account of Ford Motor Company posted three pro-Palestinian tweets that had nothing to do with the car company’s business.

“Free Palestine,” the first message read. Another followed a minute later: “Israel is a terrorist state.” Moments later, a third: “ALL EYES ON GAZA.”

The messages were soon deleted, and Ford said in a statement that they had not been permitted. It must have been some rogue Jew-hating employee with access to their X account.

“Our X account was briefly compromised and the previous three posts were not authorized or posted by Ford,” the company said. “We are investigating the issue, and apologize for any confusion caused.”

Posts like that might hurt their bottom line.

The X posts carried particular resonance because of Ford’s headquarters in Detroit, an area with a large Arab-American population where anti-Israel sentiment has been strong, and because of the company’s history of anti-Semitism emanating from its founder.

Some useful idiots and anti-Semites who saw the posts as screenshots of them circulated on social media applauded them. Others with a clear moral compass denounced the posts, with some speculating on the cause.

“Ford Motor Company must have been hacked by the Free Palestine movement,” tweeted Rep. Ritchie Torres, a pro-Israel Democrat from New York.

Doubtful they were hacked. It sounds like Joy Reid's Facebook account hacking story when she allegedly posted homophobic content.

Iran using children to carry out terror attacks on Jews in Europe

European officials are raising alarms about Iran's Islamic regime allegedly employing children to execute attacks on Israeli targets within Europe.

[H/T Daily Wire]  

Bloomberg News has documented multiple instances where Iran purportedly recruits minors for these terror activities:

"A 15-year-old boy gets into a taxi outside Stockholm hiding a loaded gun and asks to be taken to the Israeli embassy. A 13-year-old in Gothenburg is caught firing shots at Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems. At the same facility, a 16-year-old helps to plant home-made explosives outside the main entrance. … In Brussels in May, the security services found children as young as 14 orchestrating an attack on the Israeli embassy."

Iran uses these young proxies to maintain a level of plausible deniability in these operations. The report notes that Nordic countries are particularly at risk because “they have traditionally been open societies with minimal policing and high trust.”

A key reason for targeting children is the relatively lenient criminal consequences they face. In Sweden and Norway, "they can’t even be prosecuted if they are under 15 years old," according to the report.

The payment varies, with Iranian-backed agents offering up to "$1,500 for a murder or a couple hundred dollars for a 'petrol bomb attack,'" the report detailed.

Moreover, there are instances where these young individuals are unaware of their role in international espionage or terrorism. "There are cases where the proxies aren’t aware or don’t realize that they are acting on behalf of a foreign power," the Swedish Security Service stated earlier this year.

This alert comes at a time when Europe has been on high alert for the past 14 months, following the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel, which led to an uptick in Islamic extremist activities. Many of these groups are reacting strongly to Israel's military response to the attack, where Hamas was responsible for the deaths of over 1,200 individuals.

Palestinian Authority admits that it still gives money to Hamas in Gaza Strip

The Palestinian Authority (PA) may try fooling us into believing that they're against Hamas' terrorism against Israel, but are they really? Despite their words, their actions speak much louder.

The PA while urging Hamas to join the PLO, they also continue providing money for the terrorists and still pay the families of martyrs for killing Jews in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Earlier this month, PA Prime Minister Muhammad Mustafa assured Hamas that the PA would continue to “provide the operational budget and salaries to fund different activities,” in order for them to continue their religious obligations as such. For example,  Sahih Muslim, Book 41, Hadith 6985 that basically says:

The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

This hadith is sometimes referenced to highlight tensions between certain interpretations of Islamic teachings and Jewish communities. It's important to note that interpretations of these texts vary widely among scholars, and many advocate for peaceful coexistence rather than conflict.

Yes, Jews have their own special tree that also speaks like the Islamic trees but are loyal to the Jews. Bet you didn't know that.

The cumulative effect of the Palestinian Authority's ongoing financial backing — essentially extending to support the operations of Hamas and other terrorist entities in Gaza — totals "275 million shekels every month." This financial assistance isn't classified as humanitarian aid; rather, as Prime Minister Mustafa has stated, the PA additionally offers "welfare aid, food aid, and other aid" alongside "monetary aid of 233 million shekels."

PA Prime Minister Muhammad Mustafa: “The [PA] government has continued to provide the operational budget and salaries to fund different activities in the Gaza Strip, at a sum of 275 million [Israeli] shekels (over $73.2 million -Ed.) every month, or 3.3 billion shekels (over $878.8 million -Ed.) per year.

The administration persists in delivering "welfare aid, food aid, and other aid" to over 400,000 households within the Gaza Strip, supplemented by "monetary aid to approximately 210,000 families at a sum of approximately 233 million shekels (over $62 million -Ed.)" via the [PA] Ministry of Social Development, ensuring coordination with both humanitarian and United Nations entities. [emphasis added]

Abdallah Abdallah, a man whose parents had little imagination and who serves on the Palestinian National Council holding a senior position within the Fatah Movement, has disclosed that "Fatah and Hamas held positive talks regarding assembling a joint committee to manage the Gaza Strip the day after the war." [Erem News, UAE-based news website, Oct. 23, 2024]

This comes after Abbas’ advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash’s recent call on Hamas to join the PLO “so we can all unite against” Israel.

Kumbaya!

These Islamists see what happened on October 7, 2023 as a justified action against Israel and have convinced low-information college students in the West that it's the Jews who started the aggression.

Australia denies Holocaust denier the honor of their company

Owens: anti-Semite much?

Holocaust denier and former person with a political pundit career, Candace Owens, is a persona non grata in the land down-under. 

Her self-inflicted clusterfrack hit rock bottom Sunday when Australian officials said that her anti-Semitic bile was too toxic for their country. "Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else," said Immigration Minister Tony Burke.

“From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about German SS officer Josef Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction,” Burke announced.

Owens was fired from conservative outlet The Daily Wire in March following a series of antisemitic comments and tropes. 

She was planning to do an Australian speaking tour with tickets selling for $100 but alas, it ain't gonna happen.

Sine August, Jewish groups had been campaigning for Owens' visa cancellation, when Burke first indicated he would block her entry, telling media outlets: “Tickets to these events are selling for $100. I hope she has a good refunds policy.”

And the amazing thing is that her visa cancellation received rare bipartisan support with Opposition immigration spokesman Dan Tehan backing the move to prevent "hateful messages."

Owens once suggested that there was a systematic effort by Israel to persecute Germans after the Holocaust. After all, what did they do so wrong back then?

She was also criticized for describing Nazi lunatic doctor Josef Mengele's experiments on Auschwitz [Jewish] prisoners as "bizarre propaganda," then claimed Israel was founded by a "cult."

In a moronic move, Owens defended Kanye West's Jew-hatred rhetoric about Jewish influence in media and accusing "secret Jewish gangs" controlling Hollywood. This led the Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) to applaud Australia's decision to ban Owens from a visa.

“A known peddler of dangerous rhetoric against Jews and other groups, and unapologetic Holocaust denier, is a victory for the millions of Jewish souls and millions of others whose memory she so shamelessly desecrated,” the ADC posted on X.

“This is more than just a visa being revoked. This is a tribute to every single survivor who bore witness to the horrors of Auschwitz.”

Candace Owens seems to be in a downward spiral in the commode of life and her public career is likely over, but for decent, fair-minded people, that's a good thing.

Anti-racist racist implies he might have committed terrorism on 10/7 if he grew up in Gaza

Ta-Nehisi Coates, the controversial racist debater and typist, said, [in the safety of not being in Gaza] that he wondered if he would have been "strong enough" to have not joined Hamas in the Oct. 7 massacre.

“Were I 20 years old, born into Gaza, which is a giant open-air jail … and I grew up under that oppression and that poverty and that wall comes down — am I even strong enough … where I say, ‘This is too far’?” the McArthur Genius Grant-winning author, 49, said Thursday on ex-”Daily Show” host Trevor Noah’s podcast “What Now.”

So who are the jailers of Gaza? The Egyptians who have a wall at their border that doesn't allow them to cross into Egypt, or Israel, that allows Gazans in, and even work in Israel, but checks them for weapons due to their history of attacking Jews?

The racist suggested that what might not have been “too far’’ for him was the slaughter of more than 1,200 people, mainly civilians, and the kidnapping of over 250 others, including elderly Holocaust survivors and babies, at the hands of Hamas terrorists.

He was quite confident that he could physically "take on" women, the elderly and children, but he was not so confident about his ability to deal with women of the IDF or men in general.

“If my father is a fisherman and he goes too far out into the sea, he might get shot by somebody off … the side of Israeli boats,’’ the idiot said, referring to what he believes life is like for Palestinians in Gaza. What he doesn't know is that if an Israeli steps foot into Gaza, he chances of survival are worse than a moth at a campfire.

“If my mother picks the olive trees and she gets too close to the [border] wall, she might be shot. If my little sister has cancer and she needs treatment because there are no facilities to do that in Gaza and I don’t get the right permits, she might die …”

Except that is pure bull crap. Israel treats Gazans in Israeli hospitals on a regular basis--Gazans used their hospitals to hide Israeli hostages after Oct. 7, and have never treated Jews there. People are not shot because they are close to the border walls--that's just another anti-Semitic trope.

Coates, a former professor at NYU and CUNY, said that while he considers the Oct. 7 atrocities to be a “great horror,” on the other hand, the attacks were in response to an unbearable Israeli system of “apartheid.” Of course, Coates never gave any examples of how Israel has committed apartheid.

“If you start asking why [the attack happened], then you really, really start to get into trouble,” he told Noah.

The attack happened because Islam has always called for the death of the Jews and all the Hamassholes were doing was their "religious duty."

“Human life really, really matters to me. … And if human life matters on Oct. 7, it should matter on Oct. 6 and Oct. 5, too, and understanding that it didn’t’’ is crucial to seeing the bigger picture, he said — appearing to be expressing empathy for the perpetrators of the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.

Columbia U. donations fall deeper than whale poop after pro-Hamasshole rallies

The morons who protest Israel's right to exist might try to convince us that "Palestine" just wants its land back, but it was never theirs to start with, and the truth about why they protest is closer to Jew hatred than it is to land rights. 

After a series of "anti-Israel" [aka Anti-Semitic] protests earlier this year, Columbia University lost about 29 percent in donations during its 2024 fundraiser. During the hate-athons, school officials called in the NYPD to break up the protests and Columbia's president Minouche Shafik resigned over the summer. The interim head has since said "sorry" for the school's treatment of protesters, refusing to give them snacks, foot massages, and drugs. One scumcrumpet has sued the school over being suspended due to his anti-Semitic [aka racist] behavior.

Columbia’s “Giving Day” event in 2024 raised $21.4 million, a significant decrease from the $30 million it pocketed in 2022, as per the Columbia Spectator, the campus newspaper. The event was not held in 2023 due to the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent protests on campus that cheered on the women, children and baby killers because they're, you know, Jews.

The university also saw almost a 28 percent decline in the number of gifts, [aka Professor Enrichment Program] which dropped from 19,229 in 2022 to 13,870 in 2024, the lowest level since 2015 and the first time the total monetary amount of the donations declined from the previous year since the event began in 2012. 

In response to the decline, the Columbia Spectator stated that the university is currently facing a “donor crisis — born out of concerns regarding campus protests.”

No, the school is facing a "moral crisis" born out of ignorance, hatred, and even envy.

The athletic department raised $4.6 million, Columbia College raised $3.5 million, and the School of Engineering and Applied Science brought in $3.2 million.

“Columbia is fortunate to have a dedicated community of alumni, parents and friends who recognize the impact their financial donations, volunteer time, talents, advice and mentoring make in assisting students and supporting the mission of the university and its schools,” a Columbia spokes Nazi said in response to the fundraising. “Their participation and support is ongoing and sincerely appreciated, and they continue to ensure the ongoing success of the university.”

Khamenei thinks terrorist Nasrallah ascended into heaven: LOL

Khamenei looks down where Nasrallah went thinking that's where heaven is

In an attempt to normalize terrorism and its concomitant Jew-hatred, Iran's Supreme Leader for Life Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tweeted that "Nasrallah ascended to the heavens." However, astute observers will note that when he declared this, he was looking down, not up toward the heavens, so there's that.

'The Khamster' was obviously moved by Nasrallah's being blown to bits by Jewish pilots of the IDF because they had one thing in common: devout anti-Semitism. So he expressed his deep thoughts about Israel's assassination of Hassan "Badahboom" Nasrallah on Friday.

"From the river to the pier, Nasrallah's junk is here and there."

In the hours after the IDF confirmed Nasrallah was dead, as well as a bunch of other jihadi honchos of Hezbollah, Khamenei's tweet finger went wild--he tweeted twenty times and even congratulated the IDF'd Nasrallah for becoming a martyr, which Khamenei refuses to become. But he did announce five national days of mourning in Iran for the terrorist's just deserts. 

"The Islamic world has lost a noble figure, the Resistance Front has lost an eminent standard-bearer, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah has lost an unparalleled leader. However, the blessings from Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah's decades of planning and jihad will never be lost." 

Only one Stooge to go

By 'noble figure' "The Khamster" was referring to human excrement whose hatred of Israel and the Jewish people was on par with Hitler and the Nazis who adored him.

Khameini referred to Nasrallah as the "great Mujahid" and the "standard-bearer" of the Islamic Resistance, but resistance is merely propaganda to get useful idiots to think that Israel has taken the land of the Muslims, when Israel was there long ago. But in spite of that factoid, Islamic scripture [if you can call a book that pushes killing and hatred 'scripture'] calls for the death of Jews. The quote from Sahih Muslim [Book 41, Hadith 6985]: "Muslim, there's a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him," the Gharqad tree speaks.

If you think a tree can speak, and Mohammed flew to heaven on a winged horse to speak to Allah, then you probably didn't even read this far.

IDF strikes Hezbollah's HQ in Beirut

Plumes of smoke rise from the bowels of Hezbollah's main headquarters in Beirut

Israel's Air Force (IAF) performed a "precise strike" on Hezbollah's main headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, the IDF said Friday.

Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari explained that the Hezbollah headquarters was intentionally built beneath residential buildings  "as part of Hezbollah's strategy of using Lebanese people as human shields." Because by doing so, the terror group would gain the upper hand in public sympathy for when Israel defends itself.

"On Oct. 8, Hezbollah started attacking Israel after almost a year of Hezbollah firing rockets, missiles and suicide drones at Israeli civilians," Hagari said.

And it was on Oct. 8 that the world turned from being sympathetic to Israel after the slaughter of 1,200 people and the kidnapping of an additional 253, to being sympathetic to the retaliation of the terrorists who committed the crimes. Just one day after the screams died away of Israeli girls and women being tortured, raped, mutilated and killed, and babies being killed and some kidnapped, that Hezbollah joined in the carnage by launching rockets, missiles and drones at the Jewish State.

"After almost a year of Israel warning the world and telling them that Hezbollah must be stopped, Israel is doing what every sovereign state in the world would do if they had a terror organization that seeks their destruction on their border, taking the necessary action to protect our people so that Israeli families can leave their homes safely and securely."

Imagine what we would do in the USA if Mexico launched a rocket and missile attack on Texas, or any American area. And remember what we did in the Second World War to Japan, and what England did to Dresden, Germany when nobody said a word about it, yet some of us are appalled that the tiny country of Israel is fighting back the hordes of Jew-hating terrorists who are the actual perpetrators of attempted genocide, not those who they accuse of it.

Anti-Semite Congresswoman finds exploding Hezbollah pager memes 'disgusting'

Will all those who admit to wanting to kill all Jews, kindly hold up your signs

Some people were laughing, some people were amazed at the ingenuity, and some people were disgusted when Hezbollah became Hezballess after thousands of the terrorist pagers exploded, killing 9 thus far and injuring many, many more. That's what the terrorists get when switching to flip phones and pagers, all in the hope of avoiding Israel's technological advances in surveillance.

Thousands of pagers exploding in the pants pockets of Hezbollah terrorists all over Lebanon. You'd better believe there were memes; we collected some of the best. [H/T Twitchy]

And more: 

Another… sign in Lebanon right now…. pic.twitter.com/hWjvDhakOG— TheRifleman (@TheRifleman11)

Those who are upset with Israel for taking the initiative in the war, only pretended to be upset on Oct. 7 when Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped 253 because they came out like roaches when the lights came on the next day to protest those, you know, Jews, who began to fight back. 

One Jew-hating piece of human waste was Rep[ulsive] Rashida Tlaib, a member of the Hamasshole caucus calling Israel's response in the war against Hezbollah and Hamas, the "crass memefication of Israeli terrorism" disgusting.

She never spoke about the hostages being held by Hamas, many of whom were executed in captivity, but she had a lot to say against Israel fighting back.

Disgusting. https://t.co/dxyORsFlIP— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) September 17, 2024

People responded even more so. 

Disgusting is terrorist who launched rockets and killed 12 children in Israel. But you didn’t condemn that, right?— Hen Mazzig (@HenMazzig) September 17, 2024

So to hell with her anti-Semitic sentiments and disgust, I've posted a few memes that should purge her belly:

And this which comes directly from Twitchy:

Here's a cute one:

May the force be with Israel:

And a way hello and goodbye:

My feeling is that if anyone at the top of Hezbollah's pile of human excrement is reading this, you probably left your pager or flip phone home.

Rashida Tlaib is a horrible person who should not be in political office, but her constituents voted her in again because they share her disgusting sentiment about Israel and the Jews.

Hamas-lover charges at pro-Israel demonstrator who shoots him in self-defense but is being charged

Framingham, MA -- A pro-Israel demonstrator was attacked by a pro-terrorist man. The Hamas-lover ran across the street, attacked the pro-Israel demonstrator who was carrying a legally owned handgun, and knocked him to the ground as he grabbed him by the neck. Fortunately for the pro-Israel demonstrator, he was able to shoot the frenetic man in the stomach in what seems to clearly be an act of self-defense.

The entire incident was based on the war in Gaza in which the attacker accused the protesters of "defending genocide" and calling them "sick."

Obviously, if the attacker knew what genocide really means, he would know that it is Hamas that has clearly attempted to commit genocide on the Israeli Jews, but somehow because Israel is winning the war, it's their fault Hamassholes are dying like moths at a pig roast. The truth is, if Israel, with its military dominance over Hamas wanted to commit genocide, there would have been hundreds of thousands of Gazan deaths rather than the actual number.

The pro-Israel man, Scott Hayes, 47, has been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and violation of a constitutional right causing injury after he shot the scumcrumpet during the scuffle on the ground. It happened in Newton at about 6:40 p.m., according to Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan at a press briefing.

Hayes did not fire his gun until after the Hamasshole supporter ran at him from across the street and tackled him before grabbing him by the neck, making this sound like "a good shoot," as the cops would say.

After the shot rang out, two other pro-Israel demonstrators could be seen stomping on the crazed pro-Hamasshole supporter, who has not been identified, and then dragging him off Hayes.

In another video posted online, Hayes can be seen administering aid to the man seconds after the shooting and telling an onlooker to call 911. The Jew-hating shooting victim  suffered life-threatening injuries and was being treated at a local hospital, according to Ryan.

The shooting victim was still wearing a 2020 COVID face mask but had it hanging around his neck in place of a keffiyeh.

Hayes is expected to be arraigned today, Friday at Newton District Court.

Black students at U of Michigan leave anti-Zionist hate group, but still don't see the light

I asked AI if there is any evidence that modern day Muslims hold racist views about Black people. Here's what I got:

Based on the information available up to September 8, 2024, there is evidence and discussion within both scholarly and social media platforms indicating that racism against Black individuals exists within some modern Muslim communities. Here's a synthesis of the insights:

Scholarly and Community Discussions: There are documented instances and discussions about intra-Muslim racism, particularly against Black Muslims, within Muslim American communities. This includes reports of African American Muslims facing racism from other immigrant Muslim communities, such as those from South Asian and Arab backgrounds. This issue has been acknowledged in various forums, including webinars and community dialogues aimed at addressing racism within Muslim spaces.

Global Perspectives:Anti-Black racism is not confined to one region but is reported across the Muslim world, including in the Arab world, where there's a historical and ongoing issue of anti-Blackness. This racism is deeply rooted in historical practices like slavery, which has left a lasting impact on societal attitudes towards Black people.

Social Media Insights:X posts reflect a range of sentiments from personal experiences to broader cultural critiques. Users have shared personal anecdotes, historical references, and contemporary instances where anti-Black racism is evident within Muslim societies. These include discussions on how Black Muslims might be treated differently or how anti-Black sentiments might be embedded in cultural practices or even religious interpretations.

Religious and Cultural Texts:Some discussions point towards interpretations of religious texts or cultural practices that might perpetuate racist views against Black individuals, although Islam itself teaches racial equality. This indicates a discrepancy between religious teachings and cultural practices. 

Public and Academic Discourse:Public lectures, books, and academic discussions, like those mentioned in the references, tackle the issue head-on, suggesting that anti-Black racism within Muslim communities is a recognized problem being addressed through various lenses, including cultural criticism, legal analysis, and community activism.

The AI warned of nuances in this response, but make up your own mind to determine whether it exists.

Meanwhile, Black students at the University of Michigan have noticed some serious negativity emanating from them by the anti-Zionist student group Tahrir Coalition, citing “pervasive” anti-Black discrimination fostered by its mostly Arab and Middle Eastern leadership. [H/T Algemeiner.com]

The University of Michigan’s Black Student Union (BSU) has resigned from the anti-Zionist student group but still naively supports the anti-Zionist movement. “The BSU’s solidarity with the Palestinian people is unwavering, but the integrity of the Tahrir Coalition is deeply questionable. We refuse to subject ourselves and our community to the rampant anti-Blackness that festers within it. For this reason, we will no longer be a part of the Tahrir Coalition.”

“Black identities, voices, and bodies are not valued in this coalition, and thus we must remove ourselves,” BSU said in a statement posted on Instagram. “The anti-Blackness within the coalition has been too pervasive to overcome, and we refuse to endure it.”

The saddest part in all this is that the situation with the Jewish students on campus mirror the oppression Blacks historically experienced in so many aspects of life, and while the Black students support the Jew-haters, they have more in common with the Jews than those they support.

How can any person support what Hamas did on October 7th unless it's rabid Jew hatred?

But the more they hate us, the Jewisher we get.

Am Yisrael Chai! Israel lives.

Netanyahu: Israel will never surrender "military and political assets in Gaza"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has assured the families of hostages and victims of terror attacks that he will remain steadfast against intense international pressure to relinquish key strategic areas in central and southern Gaza in exchange for a hostage deal.

On Tuesday, Netanyahu met with relatives of Israelis held captive in Gaza and with families mourning loved ones killed in the October 7th terror attacks. He firmly stated that Israel will not cede control over critical regions such as the Philadelphi Corridor, which borders the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula, and the Netzarim Corridor, which lies between Gaza City and Khan Younis.

“Israel will under no circumstances abandon the Philadelphi Route or the Netzarim Corridor, despite enormous pressure. These are strategic assets, both militarily and politically,” Netanyahu declared.

Hamas has called for Israel to withdraw from these areas as a condition for releasing hostages and establishing a lasting truce. However, Netanyahu reaffirmed that Israel will not concede to these demands, underlining the necessity of maintaining control over these territories.

Tzvika Mor, whose son Eitan was taken hostage at the Nova Music Festival on October 7th, shared his insights from a meeting with Galei Yisrael. Mor noted that Netanyahu appeared skeptical about reaching an agreement with Hamas, saying, "From what I could gather, the prime minister doesn't believe there will be an agreement. We also observe that Hamas is maintaining its hardline stance."

Jew-hating jihadi goes all to pieces prematurely outside a synagogue

If he could be given a stage name, he would be named Rip Torn. It happened outside a synagogue he was planning to attack, but he went off half-cocked and exploded outside the house of worship. In fact, one Jewish worshipper said, “If I hadn’t gone into the synagogue, I wouldn’t be standing here today.”

 [H/T World Israel News.]

It happened outside a south Tel Aviv synagogue where people expressed their gratitude for not being blown to pieces [literally] like the incompetent suicide bomber did just outside the building Monday evening.

The unidentified man was captured on video security as he diddy-bopped along Lehi Street wearing a backpack laden with explosives. 

At around eight p.m., an unidentified man was captured by security cameras walking on Lehi Street, wearing a backpack. According to security and police sources, there was a bomb inside of his bag.

In what surely had to be a fatal screwup, the bomb exploded, blowing the jihadi into several pieces and moderately injuring a 33-year-old man who was riding by in a environmentally friendly electric scooter.

The shock of the blast rocked the nearby synagogue meters from the explosion and worshippers said that it was a “great miracle” that most people were unhurt who were near the explosion, which happened with about 80 people in the building in the middle of the Maariv prayer, according to an attendee who wished to remain anonymous for personal safety reasons.

Just 100 meters from the synagogue is a busy commercial area and a shopping plaza with lots of restaurants and stores. It might have been the jihadi's target as it was crowded at the time. A senior police official told Hebrew-language media that he was “99 percent certain” the bombing was terror-related, though Israel’s security agencies have yet to officially confirm that. Perhaps he was simply planning to help Mohammed by moving the mountain for him.

The Shin Bet, (Israel Security Agency)  immediately began investigating at the scene, indicating that the event was probably terror-related.

Tel Aviv District Police Commander Peretz Amar said in a media statement on Sunday evening that while the man’s identity is still unknown, it’s important to note that “he was not an innocent civilian. He was someone carrying an explosive device.”

Gruesome footage circulating on social media from the scene of the explosion showed that the man carrying the bomb had been dismembered by the force of the blast, inspiring one to recall the immortal Patsy Kline song, "I Fall to Pieces."

As to why the device exploded prematurely, it is entirely possible the idiot carrying it was testing to see whether it was in working order.

It was.
