The Spanish invasion from Morocco continues as death toll climbs to 67

Look at all the women and children [Adri Salido image]

Europe's borders are not mere lines on a map; they are the front line of civilization.

The latest death toll in Spain's border crisis at Ceuta has climbed to 67, according to the Spanish government. Some victims drowned attempting the crossing, while others were killed in the desperate crush of a human stampede at the breakwater barrier. It is a grim reminder that when governments surrender control of their borders, tragedy inevitably follows.

In response to the unprecedented breach, Spain announced it will install a 500 meter containment barrier extending into the sea after an estimated 50,000 to 60,000 migrants overwhelmed the tiny Spanish enclave's frontier between Thursday and Friday. That's like closing the barn door after the horses escaped.

On Saturday morning, a handful of exhausted migrants who swam to Ceuta's Tarajal Beach were met by Spanish soldiers and escorted back across the border. Spain's Interior Ministry said that most of those who entered the North African territory have already been returned to Morocco.

After days of disorder, Ceuta's streets have grown quieter. But calm is not the same as security.

"Life in this city has been disrupted as a result of the border incident," said Ceuta President Juan Jesus Vivas.

"The return of people has begun satisfactorily but the process must be completed," he said. "The city has not yet returned to normal."

That final sentence deserves far more attention than it will receive. A nation can restore traffic, reopen shops, and clear its streets, yet still suffer lasting damage to public confidence. Citizens who watch tens of thousands of people overwhelm a border in a matter of hours cannot easily be persuaded that their government remains fully in control.

Across the border in Tangier, Morocco, migrants who had either returned from Ceuta or failed to reach Europe slept on the floor of the city's main railway station. Many had gone days without food. Others remained determined to try again. 

Boo freaking hoo.

"I tried to cross, but I failed. I stayed near the border with Ceuta for two days, but I couldn't find anything to eat," said Abdalah, an aspiring jihadi, who withheld his surname for fear of retaliation after attempting to enter Spain illegally. 

Meanwhile, along the road to the Moroccan town of Fnideq, streams of migrants continued walking toward the border fence, some barefoot, apparently preparing for another attempt. Taxi drivers and bus operators refused to transport them, fearing retaliation from Moroccan authorities, while police established checkpoints to inspect every vehicle headed toward the frontier.

Yet many Islamic invaders who succeeded in reaching Ceuta made clear they had no intention of leaving voluntarily.

"They've closed everything down so that we can't buy anything to eat, to force us to return to our country," said 23 year old Moroccan illegal alien jihadi Mohamed Hatri.

"But even if they close it down ... we're round to stay here, whether we're hungry or not."

That declaration captures the central dilemma confronting Europe. 

Compassion alone cannot substitute for sovereignty. Every nation has a moral obligation to preserve life, but it also has a fundamental duty to determine who enters its territory and under what conditions. A border that exists only on paper soon ceases to exist at all.

The events in Ceuta should also serve as a warning to every Western democracy. 

Spain's crisis is not uniquely Spanish. It is a glimpse of what any nation can face if it convinces the world that its borders are negotiable rather than enforceable. Once the expectation spreads that illegal entry will ultimately be rewarded, the incentives become overwhelming, the humanitarian costs multiply, and public trust begins to erode. 

Other Western nations would do well to learn this lesson before finding themselves confronting the same crisis on their own shores.

Disturbing details about what Hamas did to Israelis on October 7

WARNING: The content of this post may be disturbing to many individuals, but I feel that it must be made known.

Former newspaper The New York Times, has become a disgusting propaganda rag that yesterday said Israel abused Palestinians, including training dogs to rape prisoners. Anyone with a functioning cortex knows by now that allegation has been debunked and condemned.

Finally, we are now learning even more of the sick, depraved behavior of Hamasshole terrorists toward Israelis, including men, women, children and babies, on October 7, 2023.

Among the mutilated and butchered bodies of young women slaughtered on October 7, it was their colorful, polished nails that many of the morgue staff remember.

Hamas-led scum had not just executed these women. They had “deliberately and systematically” defiled them, as the most comprehensive account of the atrocity released by The Civil Commission today shows.

The terrorists shot their eyes, their faces and their breasts, and even targeted their most intimate parts, to destroy their beauty and rob their loved ones of a final goodbye. The bast***ds even used GoPro cameras to record their atrocities.

Women were stripped, bound, stabbed, shot and burned. They were executed both during and after rape amid an orgy of violence in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage. Heads were decapitated. Pelvic bones shattered. Even after death, sexual assault continued. A grotesque, medieval obsession with sexual organs pervaded the crime scenes at the Nova Festival and in the Kibbutzim near Gaza.

This is disgusting. This is monstrous, and it is precisely what anyone who chants “globalize the intifada” is, in effect, endorsing. And if this post gets taken off my blog, then that's another censoring of free speech.

It is almost unbearable to contemplate. Yet it is even more breathtaking to watch people in the West defend and justify such savagery, not despite their hatred of Jews and Israel, but because of it.

That, too, is part of the moral collapse we are witnessing.

And unlike the equivocations that sometimes appear in outlets such as The New York Times, Hamas proudly recorded these atrocities for posterity. We have hundreds of witnesses and more than two years of painstaking research.

That is exactly what happened and anyone who condones it, is evil.

And still segments of the Western Left justify it, including figures such as Hasan Piker, who have found ways to excuse the systematic rape of Israeli women.

If they can justify this in Israel, they will justify it in Europe and America too. The same ideological sickness travels.

Yes, it does. The world must see Hamas for what it truly is—especially as Hamas and Hezbollah sympathisers march through the streets of New York, and as a Hezbollah-linked terrorist recently attempted to murder Jews in Michigan.

This is the barbarism the anti-Semitic Left now supports and excuses. And in doing so, it reveals far more about itself than it ever intended.

Terrorists displaced 98,000 with 217 churches destroyed in recent Islamci attacks in Nigeria

The Catholic Diocese of Wukari in Taraba State has reported that 98,000 persons have been displaced and 217 churches destroyed amid persistent attacks that have now become a permanent feature of life in the region.

Wukari lies in the northeastern corner of Nigeria, a state that shares borders with several others and with Cameroon to the east. The diocese made its disclosure in a communique released at the conclusion of its third general assembly, held on Saturday in Wukari itself.

The statement, signed by Bishop Mark Nzukwein, noted that the displaced have been scattered particularly around the Donga and Takum Local Government Areas.

“From September 2025, there has been a resurgence of attacks by criminals on communities in the southern part of Taraba, especially in Takum, Donga LGAs and the Yangtu Special Development Area.

“These attacks have left scores killed, maimed and injured, with property worth millions of naira and means of livelihood destroyed.

“The records of the diocese show that over 98,000 persons have been displaced, including 16 priests, while 217 churches have been completely destroyed.

“Residences of eight priests have also been destroyed, and more than 100 persons have been reportedly killed,” it stated.

The diocese further condemned the accelerating pattern of land grabbing, in which the ancestral territories of the displaced are simply seized by the very criminals responsible for driving them out. Such behavior reveals a conflict that is not merely about violence but about the methodical erasure of communities and their claims to the land.

The statement urged the federal government and its security agencies to act with genuine urgency against the forces that continue to terrorize this part of Nigeria. It also called upon authorities at every level to take concrete steps that would allow these displaced thousands to return safely to their homes, rather than consigning them indefinitely to the limbo of refugee existence within their own country.

Old Dominion Shooter Convicted of Terrorism Charges: was released after completing drug treatment program

Of course his name started with the letter "M." Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, the shooter behind the Old Dominion University terrorist attack. And even though he has a conviction for terrorism, a bureaucratic clusterfrack with a drug treatment program ended up in his released from federal prison, according to the AP.

Mo is a naturalized U.S. citizen, originally from Sierra Leone (the kind of profile that screams "thorough vetting" these days). He pleaded guilty in October 2016 to attempting to provide material support to ISIS. You know, those kooky kids who burn people alive or remove their body from their head if they aren't religious enough or belong to the "wrong" religion or have no religion at all.

Anyway, Mo got hit with a "dime and a bullet" federal sentence, [that's 11 years for you innocent readers who haven't served hard time]. Somehow the jihadi got transferred to a halfway house in August 2024 and by December, he was a free killer. 

Can I get an Al Lou Akbar?

It's an enigma wrapped in a mystery how Jalloh even qualified for the drug treatment program, which can knock up to a year off a sentence. According to the Bureau of Prisons, scumcrumpets convicted on terrorism charges are straight-up ineligible for such sentence-reducing credits or programs. Ineligible. Full stop.

But hey, rules need to be flexible in order to cover for white guilt. 

If Jalloh had been forced to serve his full time like he should have, he'd still be behind bars instead of roaming free to carry out his murderous rampage. On Thursday, this former National Guard member opened fire in an ODU classroom, killing Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, the head of the university's ROTC program, and he wounding two others. Brave ROTC students subdued and killed him before he could do more damage. 

Surprise, surprise, Jalloh reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" before unleashing hell, per the FBI.

Flash back to 2016: Jalloh got nabbed after spilling to an FBI informant (who he thought was a fellow johadi) that he "thought about conducting an attack all the time, and that he was close to doing so at one point," according to the Department of Justice. He connected with this source via a now-dead ISIS terrorist he met during a six-month jaunt to Africa. Oh, and he quit the National Guard after binging on online lectures from Anwar al-Awlaqi, the late al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula honcho.

The FBI bounced questions to the Bureau of Prisons, which confirmed the early release date. The Justice Department? Crickets on comment requests.

The FBI's Norfolk field office put out a statement Friday afternoon saying agents "are working around the clock" to dig deeper into Jalloh's background and urging the public to cough up any tips. I can't imagine what inspired him to attempt to kill as many non believers as he could. If you have any idea, write it in the comments.

This is the kind of story that makes you wonder how many other terrorism-linked convicts are getting sweetheart deals through loopholes that were supposedly plugged years ago. One dead professor, two wounded, and a campus in chaos, all because someone didn't follow the rules that were meant to keep dangerous people locked up. 

Classic government efficiency or suicidal empathy?

Jihadi gunman in Michigan synagogue attack ID'd as Lebanese-born immigrant

Authorities identified the suspect in Thursday's brazen attack on Temple Israel, a Reform synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, as Ayman, wait for it . . .  Mohamad Ghazali, a 41-year-old Lebanese-born man who entered the United States in 2011 and became a naturalized citizen in 2016 after arriving in the US in 2011.

Ghazali, who worked in a restaurant in Dearborn Heights, is dead after a shootout with armed security on the temple grounds.

"We can't say what killed him at this point," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said at a news conference, "but security did engage the suspect with gunfire." It's possible this jihadi killed himself and hopes to get his 72 virgins, but it becomes null and void if he offed himself, or so they say.

The suspect drove his vehicle into the building and then shots were fired, the West Bloomfield police department confirmed.

Ghazali was armed with a rifle and killed in the exchange with synagogue security, according to reports.

His vehicle caught fire, burning inside the structure. Bouchard noted that the suspect's truck struck a security guard, knocking him unconscious, marking the only reported injury from the incident. Law enforcement also discovered what appeared to be explosives in the back of the vehicle.

Those inside the synagogue and in surrounding areas were told to shelter in place while police worked to determine if anyone else was involved. Several children were evacuated from the building and moved to a safer location.

"We just tell people [to] shelter in place for at least a mile area until we determine that there's no one else that maybe was on foot and fled the area, until we figure out exactly what's going on," Bouchard said.

Bouchard added that "Jewish facilities in the area are going to have a lot of extra presence around it until we figure this out."

Temple Israel released a statement on Facebook declaring that it "was the victim of a terrorist gunman who was confronted and neutralized by our security personnel." All 140 students attending classes at the time, along with teachers and staff, are "accounted for and safe," the synagogue thankfully confirmed. 

This incident comes amid heightened security at synagogues nationwide following the surge in anti-Semitic violence since Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks. The Anti-Defamation League's 2024 audit highlighted a sharp rise in bomb threats and other harassment targeting synagogues, including messages like: "You Jews will pay for your crimes, we will end your lives," along with anti-Israel content. Sounds like the criminals are projecting a wee bit.

Other recent cases include, wait for it . . .  Mohamed . . .  Sabry Soliman, charged with hate crimes last June for throwing Molotov cocktails at pro-Israel demonstrators while yelling "Free Palestine," and Elias Rodriguez, who shot and killed two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. the prior month. When caught, Rodriguez declared, "I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza."

FBI Director Kash Patel separately confirmed that federal authorities "are on the scene with partners in Michigan."

Compromised News Network blasted over 'bizarre' post about teens charged with throwing bombs at NYC protest

CNN deleted a post about an ISIS-inspired attack in New York and admitted it didn't meet their standards. Classic mainstream media malpractice, especially when they get caught misrepresenting the truth.

Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were walked out of the 19th precinct in Manhattan on March 9, 2026, after their arrest for tossing an explosive device while allegedly yelling "Allahu akbar" into a protest crowd outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani's home where people were protesting "Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York," and "Stop New York City Public Muslim Prayer."

The fake news network is getting hammered on social media for a now-deleted Tuesday post on X that described the two suspects as "Pennsylvania teenagers" who were charged with hurling bombs at a protest near Gracie Mansion on Saturday. They conveniently left out the part when they yelled and what their motives were. 

The CNN post read: "Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home. Here's what we know so far."

So it was just a couple of kids out to enjoy a normal day in the Big Apple and maybe show a little concern about a group of Islamophobic protesters who just don't care about allowing the 'Religion of Peace' to do their thing,

These weren't just some kids out to enjoy the day. 

The suspects, 18-year-old Emir Balat of Langhorne and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi of Newtown, came from Bucks County to Manhattan. Police say they ignited and threw improvised explosive devices into the crowd outside the mayor's residence, hoping to kill as many people as possible. Federal prosecutors hit them with charges of material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, ISIS, and use of a weapon of mass destruction.

CNN yanked the post and issued this explanation on X: "A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted."

They also failed to explain how these sweet teens were inspired by ISIS, the terrorist organization that beheads and burns people alive if they're considered to be infidels.

Even CNN media analyst Brian Stelter called it out in his newsletter Tuesday morning: "The story itself was solid. But the tweet was outrageous, and quickly addressed by CNN management." He added that the outlet was "rightly criticized" for the post.

Social media lit up over the bizarre framing, which somehow avoided words like "terror" or "terrorist" entirely."This is the weirdest framing," Examiner columnist Tim Carney posted on X. "The major left-leaning outlets hate this story, but know they cannot ignore it, so they go to bizarre contortions."

Deputy editor of Jewish News U.K. Daniel Sugarman pointed out that the post would have been "extremely strange" even right after the attack, but "given everything we now know about these [two] people and their motives, is journalistic malpractice."

Gee, CNN being accused of journalistic malpractice--what will they say next?

But CNN wasn't the only outlet. 

ABC News referred to the ISIS-inspired man as an 'activist' who threw a homemade bomb towards police. And Libs of TikTok posted this: 

"Wow. ISIS-inspired perpetrators commit a literal terrorist act, and this is what CNN comes up with?" media watchdog group HonestReporting asked. "Oh, those poor ‘Pennsylvania teenagers,’ whose lives have ‘drastically changed’ because they made the conscious decision to throw bombs. When will the media stop employing narrative storytelling to infantilize perpetrators of ideologically motivated crimes?"

"Who writes this garbage?" Rep. Eli Crane, (R-AZ), wrote on X. "They are radical Islamic terrorists."

Journalist Scot Bertram had some brutal fun rewriting it to mimic 9/11: "Nineteen men arrived at East Coast airports Tuesday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying a cross-country flight. But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change."

RedState writer Bonchie nailed it: CNN was doing "everything they can to make these Islamists [seem] like misguided victims."

"I don’t really understand this framing by CNN," News2Share editor-in-chief Ford Fischer wrote. "Couldn’t anybody who does something life-changing have ‘a normal day’ if they don’t do the thing?"

And Barstool Sports content creator Jack Mac summed up the absurdity: "Man you just gotta hate when two teenagers, who could’ve been enjoying the warm weather, have their life drastically changed because they accidentally brought a home made bomb that would’ve killed multiple people. Oops! I did some terrorism! Can’t believe my life has changed!"This is peak legacy media: soft-pedal radical Islamic terrorism, paint the perps as sympathetic kids whose big day got ruined, then delete and issue a half-hearted mea culpa when the backlash hits. The double standards never stop.

Comrade Mamdani addresses terror attempt

New York City's shiny new socialist Mayor Zohran "Smiley" Mamdani finally found a moment in his busy schedule to address the little incident outside his official digs. It only took him a full day after protesters were yelling "Allahu Akbar" and chucking a couple of homemade devices into a crowd. Devices that the NYPD bomb squad later confirmed were, surprise, actually lethal.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch dropped the official word on Sunday: "The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death."

So it turns out that this jihadist and his buddy were seriously trying to kill people.

Tisch added that the second one was still getting the full lab treatment with "further analysis" needed.

Then came the gratitude portion of the program: "Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested on scene yesterday and are in custody in connection with this matter. The NYPD is working on this investigation with our partners at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI through our Joint Terrorism Task Force. I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects."

Meanwhile, Comrade Mamdani released his own statement, which managed the impressive feat of moral equivalencing the guys who threw bombs at people with the people they were throwing bombs at.

"Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism," Mamdani complained. "Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are."

The leftist mayor kept going: "What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner."

Yeah, sure.

For context, there were two dueling protests in front of Gracie Mansion. One was a tiny gathering of less than two dozen folks led by January 6 defendant Jake Lang, billed as "Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City, Stop New York City Public Muslim Prayer." The other side pulled in over 100 people under the banner "Run the Nazis out of New York City, Stand Against Hate." [They forgot to add: Death to Israel; death to America.]

Cops kept them separated, but things still got ugly. Someone from Lang's group hit counter-protesters with pepper spray and got arrested. Then tensions boiled over further when Balat and Kayumi got nabbed for the homemade bombs.

In the grand tradition of progressive mayors who love to lecture about unity while carefully avoiding any mention of who actually tried to blow people up, Mamdani's response was a master class in deflection. The bombs were bad, sure, but let's not forget to lead with the real villain: the guy with the offensive protest sign. Classic gas lighting.

Another ISIS-Inspired Terror Plot Thwarted in North Carolina—And It's a Close Call

Federal authorities announced Friday that they've stopped a chilling ISIS-inspired terrorist attack planned for a grocery store and fast food restaurant in Mint Hill, North Carolina—a quiet Charlotte suburb that could have turned into a bloodbath.

The suspect? 18-year-old U.S. citizen Christian Sturdivant, who allegedly plotted to slaughter innocent Americans with "knives and hammers" after getting radicalized online. He even dreamed of becoming a "martyr" in the process. "He was preparing for Jihad."

“He was preparing for Jihad and innocent people were going to die,” U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson for the Western District of North Carolina bluntly stated at Friday's press conference.“He was targeting Jews, Christians and LGBTQ individuals,” Ferguson added.

Sturdivant, who slung burgers at a local Burger King, first popped up on law enforcement's radar back in January 2022, when he was just 14 years old. He was chatting on social media with an overseas ISIS operative who told him to dress in black, knock on doors, and hammer people to death. His family intervened and stopped him then, per FBI Special Agent in Charge James Barnacle. 

The kid got psychological help, which it didn't, and no charges were filed. 

The FBI was assured Sturdivant "no longer had access to social media." Turns out, that was a lie, they discovered the truth on December 18.

Fast forward: Sturdivant dives into ISIS websites, posts TikToks, pledges allegiance to the terror group to what he thought was an ISIS member (actually an NYPD undercover), and tells them he plans to "do jihad soon."

He then chats with an undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS operative, spilling detailed plans for the attacks and even begging for guns.

Agents raid his home, find hammers and knives stashed under his bed, despite his family hiding them earlier, plus notes outlining the carnage.

Arrested on New Year's Eve as he's released from a medical facility, Sturdivant faces charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

"Without the swift action of the FBI, joint terrorism task force, New York City police department, the Mint Hill Police Department and our partners at the United States attorney’s office for the western district North Carolina, we could be announcing national tragedy. Instead, a terrorist attack was thwarted," Barnacle said.

This foiled plot hits just one year after Shamsud-Din Jabbar mowed down New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, flying an ISIS flag, killing 14 and wounding dozens more—before placing dud bombs and getting taken out by police.

Another reminder that the ISIS threat isn't going anywhere, even as these radicals try to strike on our soil. Good on law enforcement for shutting this one down before the body count started.

Jihadi terrorist KWTG: PA claims he was a 'young boy' delivering a package

"The Al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine’s military wing, accompanied to his wedding [i.e., a Martyr’s funeral is considered his wedding to the 72 Virgins in Paradise in Islam] Martyr Muhammad Iyad Abahreh …"

The Palestinian Authority is at it again with their shameless double game on terrorism—glorifying killers when it suits them domestically, then airbrushing them into innocent victims to scam sympathy (and cash) from the West.

When a terrorist actually pulls off an attack on Jews, the PA can't wait to hail him as a hero, slapping his name on schools, streets, and town squares. But when one gets taken out mid-attempt, especially if he's young and the optics could rile up the international crowd, they magically transform him into a wide-eyed civilian with zero connection to violence. In fact, he's a victim.

Take the latest example: 16-year-old Islamic Jihad operative Muhammad Iyad Abahreh, KWTG [Killed While Throwing Grenades] after hurling the deadly objects at Israeli troops near Jenin.

Islamic Jihad's Al-Quds Brigades didn't hesitate to claim him loud and proud as one of their own, bragging about his "martyrdom" and vowing more of the same:

“The Al-Quds Brigades accompany to his wedding Martyr Muhammad Abahreh from Jenin”“The Al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine’s military wing, accompanied to his wedding [i.e., a Martyr’s funeral is considered his wedding to the 72 Virgins in Paradise in Islam] Martyr Muhammad Iyad Abahreh …

In a statement on Sunday, [Dec. 14, 2025,] the brigades said that Abahreh is one of the Jihad fighters of the Al-Yamun Brigade and that he ascended to Heaven as a Martyr after he managed to engage with the occupation [i.e., Israeli] soldiers and threw several hand grenades at them during an invasion of the town of Silat Al-Harithiya yesterday evening, Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025.The brigades emphasized that they will remain steadfast on the path of Jihad and resistance until liberation and return.”

Fast-forward 24 hours, and the PA's mouthpiece, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, rolls out the sanitized fairy tale: No more "Jihad fighter," no grenades, no Islamic Jihad mention. Suddenly, he's just a harmless "young boy" gunned down while "delivering a package" on his motorcycle. Complete with sob stories about his dreams of graduating high school and supporting his family.

“Al-Yamun and Silat Al-Harithiya, west of Jenin, were partners in grief two nights ago, Saturday, [Dec. 13, 2025]. The two neighboring towns mourned 16-year-old boy Muhammad Iyad Muhammad Abahreh, who ascended to Heaven in Silat Al-Harithiya, and the occupation seized his body…

"3,4,5, BOOM!"

Family sources told Al-Hayat Al-Jadida that young Abahreh is the eldest [child] in the family and that he was looking forward to finishing his experimental matriculation exams, but the occupation’s bullets changed the course of his dreams.

They noted that Muhammad was on his motorcycle on his way to deliver a package in nearby Silat Al-Harithiya, but the occupation soldiers shot him with six bullets and seized his body…Al-Yamun High School Principal Radwan Freihat described the loss experienced by the school with Muhammad’s death … who was loved, diligent, and a seeker of knowledge. He said that his death as a Martyr halted his aspirations to earn a high [school graduation] certificate to help his parents."

This isn't some one-off fluke, the PA pulls this rewrite stunt routinely to paint Israel as the big bad wolf for global audiences and keep those donor dollars flowing. They did the exact same thing just a month ago after Fatah terrorists murdered Aharon Cohen and wounded others. They still deny the October 7 massacre outright. And they have the gall to lecture world leaders about rejecting terrorism and antisemitism while bankrolling it at home.

Hypocrisy doesn't even begin to cover it.

BREAKING: 2 Murdered, 2 Wounded in Jihadi Attack in Northern Israel

(photo credit: ISRAEL POLICE) ByTZVI JASPER, JERUSALEM POST STAFF DECEMBER 26, 2025 13:41Updated: DECEMBER 26, 2025 15:55

Once again, the grim reality of life in Israel asserts itself with brutal clarity. On December 26, 2025, a Palestinian terrorist carried out a combined ramming and stabbing attack across multiple sites in the north of the country, murdering two Israeli civilians and wounding others before being neutralized.

The attack began near Beit She'an, where the terrorist deliberately rammed his vehicle into pedestrians. A 68-year-old man, later identified as Shimshon Mordechai (or Mordechai Shimshon), a resident of Beit She'an, was struck and fatally injured. Nearby, a 16-year-old boy was also hit by the vehicle, sustaining light injuries; he was treated at the scene and evacuated to hospital.

As Magen David Adom EMT Daniel Mousai recounted: "When we arrived at the scene, we saw the boy sitting inside a car, conscious and suffering from injuries to his limbs." "Citizens who were there told us that he had been hit by a fleeing vehicle and they helped him in the first moments."

Mousai continued: Just as the team was preparing to transport the boy, they received word of another victim nearby. "I immediately got to him and saw a 68-year-old man lying on the side of the road, suffering from a serious chest injury. Together with the intensive care unit team, we provided medical treatment and performed CPR, but his injury was fatal and we had to pronounce him dead on the spot."

The terrorist then fled, driving along Route 71 where he stopped to stab an 18- or 19-year-old young woman, Aviv Maor, who was killed at the scene.

Continuing toward Afula, the attacker attempted another assault. A 37-year-old man was moderately wounded there, according to a witness speaking to i24news: "The terrorist missed him and ran into an electric pole." "He got out of the vehicle, picked up a huge rock, and brought it down on his head. Immediately afterward the police arrived and took him down."

The terrorist, identified as Ahmad Abu al-Rub (or similar silly variations), a resident of Qabatiya in the West Bank, had illegally infiltrated Israel days earlier. Reports indicate he was employed by an Israeli citizen and used his employer's vehicle in the attack. He was ultimately neutralized by security forces and a civilian bystander, and evacuated to hospital in moderate condition.

In response, Defense Minister Israel Katz directed the IDF to prepare operations in Qabatiya. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for strengthened Israeli control over Judea and Samaria and an end to the employment of illegal residents. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar pointed to the Palestinian Authority's ongoing incitement and payments to terrorists.

Hamas, predictably, praised the carnage, declaring that "Resistance in all its forms is a legitimate right guaranteed by international law and humanitarian principles for peoples living under occupation."

President Isaac Herzog conveyed condolences to local leaders, while the IDF Chief of Staff conducted assessments.

This is yet another reminder—were one needed—of the persistent ideology that drives such acts: an unyielding refusal to accept Jewish sovereignty in any part of the land, coupled with a culture that too often celebrates the murderer as martyr. While the world rushes to equivocate or look away, Israelis bury their dead and carry on. 

This story remains developing.

Another Day, Another "Misunderstander" of the Religion of Peace

Folks, here we go again.

Two West Virginia National Guard troops—deployed to the nation’s capital to help keep order—are now fighting for their lives after a targeted ambush just blocks from the White House. The alleged shooter: Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who arrived in the United States in September 2021 during the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Kabul.

And yes, witnesses say he was screaming “ALLAHU AKBAR!” as he opened fire.

Here’s the chilling play-by-play, per law-enforcement sources cited by the New York Post:

“According to sources, Lakanwal waited for the Guardsmen to turn a corner, opened fire, shot a female Guardsman in the chest, then allegedly took her firearm and shot her point-blank in the head before firing at others. Another Guardsman was hit in the neck before a third managed to take him down.”

The FBI and D.C. police are investigating this as a “possible act of terrorism.” Metropolitan Police executive assistant chief Jeffrey Carroll described it bluntly: “It appears to be a lone gunman that raised a firearm and ambushed these members of the National Guard.”

For months, progressive politicians and activists have been screeching that sending the National Guard into Democrat-run cities constitutes “authoritarianism” and an “invasion” of the streets. Funny how that rhetoric sounds a little different when the troops themselves become the targets.

And then there’s the inevitable question that the legacy media will do everything in their power to memory-hole: How is it that so many “misunderstanders” of Islam keep misunderstanding it in exactly the same murderous way?

We’re told—endlessly—that Islam is a “religion of peace,” yet a shocking percentage of global terror attacks continue to be carried out by individuals shouting the same Arabic phrase before they start shooting, stabbing, or blowing themselves up. At what point does the “tiny minority of extremists” excuse collapse under its own weight?

President Trump, not mincing words, immediately called for a full reinvestigation of every Afghan refugee admitted under the Biden-Harris evacuation:

“WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has called for a reinvestigation of all Afghan refugees admitted under the Biden administration following a Wednesday shooting near the White House that critically injured two West Virginia National Guard members in what D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser described as a targeted attack.”

Good. Start vetting. Actually vetting this time.

Early reports from West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey briefly—and terrifyingly—suggested both troops had died, but he later clarified:

“We are now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members and will provide additional updates once we receive more complete information. Our prayers are with these brave service members, their families, and the entire Guard community.”

Prayers indeed. These men and women put on the uniform to protect us. The very least we can do is demand honest answers about who we’re letting in—and why the same deadly pattern keeps repeating itself while politicians and the press pretend it’s just one giant coincidence.Enough with the platitudes. This isn’t “senseless violence.” When the perpetrator screams “Allahu Akbar” before executing a cold-blooded ambush on American soil, the sense is tragically, infuriatingly clear.

Time to face reality instead of reciting the same tired “religion of peace” talking points while our troops bleed two blocks from the White House.

Trump Prepares to Designate the Muslim Brotherhood a Terrorist Organisation – At Last, a Dose of Reality

One is almost tempted to say "about time." President Donald Trump has announced his intention to classify the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation. "It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms,” he told Just The News. "Final documents are being drawn." 

The move follows swiftly on the heels of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's designation of both of the Brotherhood and of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organisations. Abbott, who seems to always be one step ahead of the herd, was characteristically blunt: "The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam's 'mastership of the world.' The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation, and harassment are unacceptable."

CAIR, predictably, has run whimpering to the courts.

Let us remind ourselves what we are dealing with. Founded in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, the Brotherhood has never hidden its ultimate ambition: the restoration of the Caliphate and the subjugation of the world to Islamic law. Its Palestinian offshoot, Hamas, states quite openly in its 1988 charter that it is "one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine." 

Hamas, of course, remains dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews wherever they may be found. 

In the West, the Brotherhood's various front organizations have perfected the art of sounding almost reasonable. They issue the obligatory condemnations of "terrorism," always carefully worded, always provisional. Yet, as the Foundation for Defense of Democracies noted in a recent brief, such moderation "is almost always born of prudence, not principle." The Brotherhood is merely more patient than al-Qaeda or Islamic State; it prefers the slow, civilizational jihad of infiltration to the fireworks of immediate violence. It hesitates to provoke a host government that might still be useful, and it uses its laws to gain the advantage in their actions.

Also, it places the highest value on remaining free to advance its ideology incrementally, especially in Muslim-majority countries where it can still dream of seizing power by ballot box or bullet.

None of this is conspiracy theory; it is the Brotherhood's own published doctrine. Which brings us to the most damning indictment of all, delivered this week by Dr. Charles Asher Small, founding director of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy. His institute has just released a 265-page report mapping the Brotherhood's century-long project of "ideological, institutional, and financial penetration into North America."

Dr Small's summary is crystal clear:

This is not simply a political movement but a transnational ideological project that adapts itself to Western systems while working to undermine them. The Brotherhood has learned to use the very freedoms of democracy as tools to erode it from within, exploiting the tolerance and openness of liberal societies as strategic vulnerabilities.

That is the essence of the matter. The Muslim Brotherhood is not misunderstood; it is not moderate; it is not reformable. It is a sophisticated, patient, supremacist movement that regards our open societies not as partners but as prey. For decades, Western governments, terrified of being called "Islamophobic,"  have allowed its operatives to set up shop, buy influence, and groom the next generation, all while pocketing taxpayer funds and lecturing us about tolerance. President Trump's designation, if it is finally enacted with the full force he promises, will be a long-overdue recognition of reality. 

One can only hope it is the beginning, not the end, of a serious reckoning with the civilizational threat posed by Islamist ideologues who smile for the cameras while sharpening the knife behind their backs.

And perhaps we can end the no-go zones, as President Trump says, "all over the place."

Linda SarSour will ensure Mamdani follows her directions if elected

In the grand bazaar of American identity politics, where the stalls overflow with grievances and the currency is unyielding entitlement, few figures peddle their wares with quite the fervor of the execrable Linda Sarsour. 

This Palestinian-American activist, ever the vigilant sentinel of the progressive faith, has taken to the digital airwaves to issue a stern admonition to her protégé, Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialists of America's anointed contender for New York City's mayoral throne. Should he triumph on Election Day, she promises, there will be no complacency in the ranks of his supporters. No, they shall not "let him do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall." 

Instead, Sarsour and her anti-Semitic cronies will loiter perpetually on the steps of that venerable edifice, transformed into a sort of ideological praetorian guard, ensuring their jihadi toes the line on promises as radical as they are risible.

Picture this: a Saturday night Instagram livestream, captured by Fox News Digital, where sourpuss Sarsour addresses her flock with the solemnity of a commissar briefing the apparatchiks. "I just want you all to know I'm not going to work for the Zohran administration," she claims, as if preempting some imagined descent into bureaucratic sinecure. "I'm not going to work in City Hall, because, guess what? There gotta be people like me willing to stay outside." 

Ah, the romance of the outsider; the eternal revolutionary who thrives on the periphery, forever threatening the storming of the Winter Palace, even as their chosen one occupies it. "Our friends on the inside need people on the outside to hold them accountable. To say, 'We see you. We're paying attention.'"

This is a thinly veiled warning, laced with the unmistakable stench of leverage. Mamdani, after all, owes much to Sarsour's mentorship. A fellow traveler in the Democratic Socialists of America, [a group of socialists who are not so quietly infiltrating the Democratic Party while hating them] he first crossed paths with her in 2017, pounding the pavement alongside her for the doomed candidacy of Khader El-Yateem, another jihadi DSA darling. 

Soon after, Mamdani ascended to the board of the Muslim Democratic Club of New York, co-founded by comrade Sarsour herself. She was there at the cradle of his Assembly victory and the launch of his mayoral bid, a spectral godmother whispering incantations of solidarity. Now, as MPower Action, the political nonprofit she co-chairs, marshals a coalition of 110 groups, from labor unions to Muslim and South Asian outfits, all bent on crowning the city's first Muslim mayor, the bill has come due.

Sarsour's ire, it transpires, fixates on one overt particular pledge: the evisceration of the NYPD's Strategic Response Group, that elite unit forged in 2015 to confront terrorism, riots, and the more boisterous strains of protest. Insofar as the, you know, Jews are concerned, I guess we'll see how many will need to flee the city to save their skin.

Mamdani has pledged the NYPD's disbandment, even as he murmurs sweet nothings [i.e., taqiyya] about retaining Jessica Tisch as police commissioner, a choice that drew Sarsour's pursed-lip disapproval. "I wasn't really happy about the news that he was going to keep Tisch on for the NYPD," she confesses in the stream. Yet she tempers her discontent with a reminder of the pecking order: "What's most important is that in New York City, the police commissioner works for the mayor. They are not a separate elected official. So that means if Zohran says to Tisch, 'You gotta do A-B-C,' Tisch gotta do what the mayor says." Should Tisch demur, the mob outside will duly descend: "Now, if she doesn't do that and goes against the mayor, then that's when we're going to have to go to Zohran and be like, 'You definitely made the wrong decision here. What are you going to do to hold your police commissioner accountable to the plan?'"

Hitler salute? 

One cannot help but marvel at the choreography here, the way Mamdani's campaign pirouettes between invocations of his Muslim heritage and a studied avoidance of anything so gauche as overt sectarianism. Sarsour, ever the apologist, dismisses any suggestion that faith is the fulcrum: "Our candidate is out there and just happens to be a Muslim," she insists. His pro-Palestine fervor? Conspicuously holstered. "None of the campaign was ever like ‘Free Palestine’ or the Muslims are going to get extra rights. It just happens to be something that's part of who Zohran is. But that's actually not been his campaign." 

How convenient, this selective amnesia, especially when one recalls the protests that have convulsed New York since Hamas's barbaric incursion on October 7, 2023, demonstrations policed by the very unit Mamdani and Sarsour now seek to consign to history's dustbin. Both have marched in those ranks, their chants echoing off the canyons of Manhattan.

And yet, for all the talk of accountability, Sarsour's rhetoric occasionally cracks open to reveal the fissures in this improbable alliance. Mamdani's coalition, after all, marries the DSA's Marxist zeal to the firebrand sermons of figures like Siraj Wahhaj, the cleric who once vouched for the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. 

"You can't be a Marxist and a jihadist and an Islamist and a fundamental Muslim, or whatever they call him, all at the same time," Sarsour concedes with a wry shake of the head. "You gotta pick a side. Either we're theocrats or we're leftists. Like these things don't go together." A rare moment of candor in a movement that prides itself on such contradictions, tacitly nodding to the messaging triumph of blending red banners with green crescents.

Come inauguration day in January, "Inshallah," as Sarsour invokes with pious flourish, dreaming of a "new type of politics," the mayor-elect will find his view from City Hall obstructed not by pigeons, but by the expectant faces of his benefactors. "When Zohran gets inaugurated in January, and as we move forward with this mayor, we have to be the people outside," she urges.

"Zohran is going to have to tell his own critics that are on the other side to basically say, ‘Look out that window, those people outside, these constituents, these activists, these organizers that are outside, I'm accountable to them, because they're the ones that helped me get there.’" And should he falter? "When he does something when he's in City Hall and he's wrong, I'm going to tell him he's wrong." After all, as she reminds her audience, "Voting for Zohran is not, 'We're going to vote for Zohran and just let him do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall.' Our job as a movement is we have to hold whoever goes to City Hall accountable."

In this tableau, one glimpses the inexorable logic of the activist state: power is not an end, but a means to perpetual agitation. Mamdani may wear the mayoral chain, but the true governors will be those rattling the gates below, their demands as unyielding as the Brooklyn Bridge. Whether New Yorkers, wearied by riots and radicalism, will indulge this shadow governance remains the gamble of the hour. But if history is any guide, the house always wins, at least until the next election, or the next conflagration.

Hamas's Latest Defiance: A 24-Hour Ultimatum Ignored, as Israel's Resolve Hardens

In the grim theatre of Gaza's endless absurdities, where Hamas plays the role of the unyielding fanatic and the world its bewildered audience, comes yet another chapter of predictable perfidy. The Israel Defense Forces, holding firm to their "Yellow Line"—that fragile ribbon of restraint amid the rubble—have issued a stark warning to the terrorists ensconced behind it. And, as one might have foreseen, Hamas has responded with the silence of the grave it so eagerly digs for others.

A US official, speaking to The Jerusalem Post, laid bare the mediators' desperate diplomacy: Hamas was informed, through the good (or at least intermediary) offices of Egypt and Qatar, to withdraw from behind the Yellow Line before Thursday evening, lest the IDF unleash its righteous fury.

"That 24-hour window expired at 8 p.m. local time, at which point Israel will enforce the ceasefire and engage Hamas targets behind the yellow line," the source stated, with the crisp finality of a man who has seen too many deadlines dissolve into dust.

"Last night, Hamas was notified through Egypt and Qatar that they had 24 hours to evacuate their terrorists from the area behind the yellow line currently being held by the IDF," the source elaborated, underscoring the multinational seal of approval on this ultimatum. "That 24-hour window expired at 8 p.m. local time, at which point Israel will enforce the ceasefire and engage Hamas targets behind the yellow line. This guidance was issued with approval from the United States, Egypt, and Qatar," the source stressed—a rare moment of alignment in a region where alliances shift like desert sands.

One might pause here to marvel at the spectacle: the United States, Egypt, and Qatar, three powers whose records on Islamist extremism range from the comically inconsistent to the outright enabling, now united in urging restraint on the very restraint that has kept Israel's hand from total devastation. Yet Hamas, true to form, has decamped not an inch. Their refusal is not mere obstinacy; it is the essence of their creed, a jihadist calculus where every concession is a betrayal of the divine delusion that animates them.

Compounding this farce is the matter of the hostages, those spectral figures whose fates hang like Damocles' sword over the negotiations. Hamas, in a predictable breach that is as brazen as it is heartbreaking, failed to release all the deceased captives in one fell swoop during the ceasefire's fragile dawn. Israeli officials, their patience frayed to the thread of steel, accuse the group of deliberate procrastination, a tactic as old as terror itself.

"There is little pressure on the organization from the mediators to release more hostages, and some of the bodies are located in places that will make a swift return difficult," an Israeli official confided to The Post, his words laced with the quiet outrage of the bereaved. "We still have leverage to apply pressure on the organization to return the hostages, and there are two more hostages we believe they can return immediately. Still, there is concern that we may see another situation where days go by without any bodies being returned."

How telling, this admission of mediator torpor. In the salons of Cairo and Doha, where the air is thick with the scent of incense and inaction, the urgency to reclaim even the dead evaporates like morning mist. Hamas, for its part, hoards these remains as bargaining chips in a game where human dignity is the first casualty. One wonders: if the bodies of innocents—tortured, desecrated, discarded like refuse—cannot stir the world's moral reflexes, what will? Another cycle of rocket fire? Another festival of global condemnation aimed squarely at the one force daring to fight back?

As the clock ticks past 8 p.m., and the IDF prepares to redraw the lines in fire, let us dispense with illusions. This is no mere skirmish in a ceasefire's footnotes; it is the unvarnished truth of a war where one side seeks annihilation and the other survival. Israel, cornered by geography and gaslit by geopolitics, must now act as judge, jury, and executioner in the court of necessity. Hamas, meanwhile, will cry victim from the shadows, their martyrdom myth intact—until the next yellow line is crossed, and the next ultimatum echoes into the void.
