Israeli Poll Finds 71% No Longer Trust Trump, 92% Convinced Everyone Lost, Including the Winners

JERUSALEM — A shocking new poll has revealed that a growing number of Israelis no longer trust President Donald Trump to protect Israel's interests in negotiations with Iran, marking the first time in modern history that a majority of Israelis have looked at a Middle East peace deal and said, "Wait, this feels like a Middle East peace deal."

According to the survey, 71% of Israelis said they do not trust Trump to look out for Israeli interests in an agreement with Iran. Another 13% said they do trust him, while 16% admitted they had stopped paying attention somewhere around the fifteenth ceasefire announcement.

The numbers represent a sharp decline from just one week ago, when only 62% distrusted Trump. Analysts say the rapid shift suggests Israelis are becoming familiar with the contents of the agreement.

The poll also found widespread pessimism about the outcome of the war itself. Asked how the conflict ended, 43% said Israel lost, 41% said the result was inconclusive, and 11% said Israel won. The remaining respondents reportedly spent several minutes staring into the distance before muttering, "Define 'won.'"

A separate survey found that 52% believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu harmed Israeli interests in the U.S.-Iran agreement, while 24% said he helped and another 24% said they could no longer distinguish between strategic victories and political press conferences.

The findings represent a dramatic reversal for Trump, who for years enjoyed near-rock-star status among many Israeli voters and was often described by Netanyahu allies as one of the most pro-Israel presidents in American history. Unfortunately, that reputation collided headfirst with a deal involving Iran, which historically has not been a major crowd-pleaser in Israel. 

Apparently Israelis agree with Albert Einstein who said that if you do the same thing over and over [like a peace deal with terrorists] and expect different results, you're crazy.

The agreement, signed this week, establishes a 60-day negotiation period intended to end nearly four months of war and address Iran's nuclear program, missile capabilities, sanctions relief, oil exports, regional ceasefires, and apparently everyone's expectations.

Vice President JD Vance expressed optimism before departing for follow-up talks in Switzerland.

"I think we're going to hopefully make progress on the nuclear issue, make progress on the Lebanon ceasefire issue." He isn't big on Einstein, evidently.

Observers noted that "hopefully" remains the most heavily armed word in international diplomacy.

Trump also defended the agreement while issuing a characteristically subtle warning to Tehran.

"We're going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement," Trump said. "I don't want them to [violate the agreement]. I want them to honor the agreement."

Political scientists described the statement as a rare example of combining a peace offering and a threat of overwhelming military force into the same sentence.

Meanwhile, a Hebrew University poll found that roughly 92% of Israelis believe Iran benefited more from the conflict than Israel, while only 8% viewed Israel as the winner. Nearly 90% said the war's goals had not been met, and fewer than 30% believed Netanyahu's claims of major achievements.

Experts say these numbers indicate that Israelis are becoming increasingly skeptical of political leaders declaring victory while simultaneously explaining why none of the objectives were achieved.

At press time, Israeli officials were reportedly considering a new strategy that involves winning wars before announcing victory.

BREAKING: 2,500 Marines head to Middle East

The United States Marine Corps is dispatching more than 2,000 men currently stationed in Japan to the Middle East, where the joint U.S.-Israeli Operation Epic Fury grows ever more intense.

The Wall Street Journal and ABC News first reported this shift in deployment, with Fox News later confirming it through a conversation with a federal official. Fox’s Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin posted on X: “US defense official confirms to Fox News that the Pentagon is sending the USS Tripoli, a Marine Amphibious Ready Group, and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) to Mideast. The Tripoli is stationed out of Japan and would take about 2 weeks to get to the Mideast. Accompanying the ARG and the MEU are approx. 2500 US Marines.”

Before the inevitable chorus of alarm over boots on the ground begins, it should be noted that this movement is tied chiefly to air and naval assets, the very instruments upon which Operation Epic Fury has relied from the outset, as ABC News made clear. The 31st MEU, permanently based in Japan and operating within the INDO-PACOM theater, has now received orders to proceed to the Middle East.

This redeployment does not signal an intention to employ the unit as a conventional ground force inside Iran. Rather, it furnishes commanders with a suite of land, amphibious, and aviation capabilities should they prove necessary. The MEU in question includes a squadron of F-35 fighter jets and a squadron of MV-22 tilt-rotor Osprey aircraft.

For half a century the terrorist regime in Iran has killed Americans directly or through its proxies, constructed a vast international network of murder, and at intervals butchered its own citizens who have the temerity to rise against the rigors of sharia law (more than 40,000 in January alone). As Donald Trump remarked on Thursday: “They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”

Trump clearly believes the campaign is advancing with such success that its conclusion draws near. He declared: “We are totally destroying the terrorist regime of Iran, militarily, economically, and otherwise, yet, if you read the Failing New York Times, you would incorrectly think that we are not winning. Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is no longer, missiles, drones and everything else are being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth.”

This is the language of resolution, not hesitation; of a determination long deferred but now fully engaged. The spectacle of a regime that has sown terror across decades finding itself dismantled with precision and speed ought to concentrate the mind wonderfully on the consequences of sustained ideological malice.

World's biggest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford arrives in the Middle East

The US military is gearing up for what could be weeks-long operations against Iran if President Trump gives the green light. Two US officials told Reuters this could turn into a far more serious conflict than anything we've seen before between the two countries.

"Sometimes you have to have fear. That's the only thing that really will get the situation taken care of," Trump said.

These officials spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive planning involved. It definitely ramps up the pressure on the ongoing diplomacy with Iran.

US and Iranian diplomats met in Oman last week to try reviving talks on Tehran's nuclear program, after Trump built up forces in the region and sparked fears of fresh military action. On the military side, US officials announced Friday that the Pentagon is deploying another aircraft carrier to the Middle East, along with thousands more troops, fighter jets, guided-missile destroyers, and other assets for both offense and defense. Carriers typically house over 5,000 personnel, and the USS Gerald R. Ford is bigger than them all.

Trump spoke to troops at a North Carolina base Friday and said it's "been difficult to make a deal" with Iran.

"Sometimes you have to have fear. That's the only thing that really will get the situation taken care of," Trump said.

When asked about preparations for potentially prolonged operations, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said: "President Trump has all options on the table with regard to Iran. He listens to a variety of perspectives on any given issue, but makes the final decision based on what is best for our country and national security." 

The Pentagon had no comment.

Last year, the US sent two carriers to the region for strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. But June's "Midnight Hammer" was basically a single strike: stealth bombers flew from the US to hit nuclear facilities, and Iran responded with a very limited attack on a US base in Qatar. This time, however, the planning is more involved, officials said.

In a sustained campaign, the US could target Iranian state and security facilities, not just nuclear ones, one official noted, without giving specifics. You can bet the Ayatollah isn't diddy-bopping above terra firma at the moment.

Experts warn the risks to US forces would be much higher against Iran, given its strong missile arsenal. Iranian retaliation could easily spark a wider regional war.

The same official said the US expects Iran to hit back, leading to ongoing strikes and counter-strikes over time. Iran is also preparing [allegedly] to strike Tel Aviv in the near future, and you can bet the IDF isn't playing with their dreidels and are instead preparing to retaliate.

The White House and Pentagon didn't answer questions on retaliation risks or regional escalation.

Trump has repeatedly warned he'd bomb Iran over its nuclear and missile programs, plus its crackdown on internal dissent. On Thursday, he said the alternative to diplomacy would "be very traumatic, very traumatic." [Two 'very traumatics' is very, very serious.]

Iran's Revolutionary Guards have threatened to strike any US base if Iran is hit. The US has bases across the Middle East: Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Turkey.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met President Trump in Washington on Wednesday and said any deal with Iran "must include the elements that are vital to Israel." 

Iran says it's open to discussing nuclear curbs for sanctions relief, but won't tie it to missiles because they obviously plan to go nuclear or already have done so.

So, with the IRGC killing Iranian citizens and both Israel and the US ready to launch an attack if necessary, it looks like history is soon to be made in the Middle East.

TRUMP TO HAMAS: DISARM OR WE'LL DO IT FOR YOU—AND IT WON'T BE PRETTY

AI Generated

Folks, if you thought the Middle East was finally catching a breath after that hostage swap, think again. President Donald Trump, never one to mince words or let terrorists off the hook, dropped a bombshell on Hamas Tuesday: Lay down your arms, or we'll pry them from your cold, dead hands.

Speaking at the White House alongside Argentine President Javier Milei, a guy who gets it when it comes to draining the swamp of socialism, Trump laid it out plain and simple. "If they don't disarm, we will disarm them. And it will happen quickly and perhaps violently," the president warned, his voice carrying that unmistakable edge of a dealmaker who's done playing nice.

This comes hot on the heels of yesterday's big breakthrough: Hamas coughing up the last living Israeli hostages from their Gaza hellhole, while Israel shipped back a convoy of Palestinian detainees. All thanks to the ceasefire Trump muscled through, because let's face it, no one else could've pulled off that kind of high-stakes poker, in spite of the left claiming former President Biden laid the groundwork.

But don't get it twisted; this isn't some feel-good kumbaya moment. Hamas hasn't whispered a peep about surrendering their rocket launchers or suicide vests. Enter Trump's 20-point peace blueprint, the kind of no-nonsense plan that actually aims for lasting quiet instead of endless virtue-signaling photo ops.

The president says he spoke with the Hamassholes directly, through back channels. He was tole that they were on board. "I spoke to Hamas, and I said, you’'re going to disarm, right? Yes, sir, we're going to disarm. That's what they told me," Trump recounted, before noting the middlemen magic.

Look, this ceasefire's a feather in Trump's cap the size of the Golan Heights, a diplomatic gut-punch to the naysayers who said he couldn't thread the needle. But with this fresh ultimatum, it's crystal clear: The Godfather of geopolitics isn't here to coddle militants. 

Disarm, Hamas, or get ready for the Trump treatment. Your move.

'Level it': Trump says US will 'take over' Gaza strip and rebuild it to stabilize Middle East

In the grand chamber of the White House, where history has been both made and mangled, President Donald Trump assembled with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a press conference that would send shockwaves through the corridors of international diplomacy. The U.S., Trump declared with the kind of audacity that has become his hallmark, "will 'take over the Gaza strip,' level it and rebuild the area."

"The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too," Trump stated, his voice resonating with the confidence of a man who sees himself not just as a leader, but as a developer on a global scale. "We'll own it, and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexplored bombs and other weapons on the site."

He continued, painting a picture of renewal with the broad strokes of his rhetoric: "Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job. Do something different. Just can't go back. If you go back, it's going to end up the same way it has for 100 years."

This was the first meeting of its kind in Trump's second term, a meeting that could be seen as either visionary or reckless, depending on one's perspective on Middle Eastern geopolitics.

Trump's vision of the U.S. in a "long-term ownership position" over Gaza was pitched as not merely an exercise in power but as a stabilizing force. "I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East, and maybe the entire Middle East. And everybody I've spoken to — this was not a decision made lightly — everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land. Developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent in a really magnificent area that nobody would know. Nobody can look because all they see is death and destruction and rubble," he claimed, perhaps with more optimism than realism.

The discussions between Trump and Netanyahu weren't just about the physical landscape of Gaza but also about broader regional issues, including the tenuous ceasefire with Hamas, Iran's influence, and the resettlement of Gazans. Trump, ever the pragmatist in his own way, remarked, "In our meetings today, the prime minister and I focused on the future, discussing how we can work together to ensure Hamas is eliminated and ultimately restore peace to a very troubled region. It's been troubled, but what's happened in the last four years has not been good."

He described Gaza starkly: "The Gaza Strip has become 'a symbol of death and destruction for so many decades and so bad for the people anywhere near it.'" His vision for change was clear, "It should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people that have really stood there and fought for it and lived there and died there and lived a miserable existence there."

Netanyahu, ever the ally, praised Trump's unconventional approach, his ability to see beyond the fog of traditional diplomacy. "Your willingness to puncture conventional thinking, thinking that has failed time and time and time again, your willingness to think outside the box with fresh ideas, will help us achieve all these goals," he said, appreciating Trump's straightforwardness. "And I've seen you do this many times. You cut to the chase. You see things others refuse to see. You say things others refuse to say, you know. And after the jaws drop, people scratch their heads and they say, you know, he's right."

The Israeli Prime Minister concluded with a nod to the potential of this partnership, "Israel's victory will be America's victory," he declared, envisioning a future where peace is not just a possibility but an achievement of their joint efforts. "We will not only win the war working together, we will win the peace. With your leadership, Mr. President, and our partnership, I believe that we will forge a brilliant future for our region and bring our great alliance to even greater heights."

Thus, in the East Room of the White House, under the gaze of history, a bold new chapter for Gaza was proposed, one that would either be remembered as a stroke of genius or a folly of hubris.

Bibi heads to White House as first leader to be hosted by Pres. Trump

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu boarded a flight to Washington, D.C., on Sunday ahead of his meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday. Netanyahu will be the first foreign leader hosted at the White House under Trump’s second administration.

Before he left, Bibi emphasized the importance of the meeting and outlined the issues to discuss, including defeating Hamas, releasing all of the remaining hostages, and dealing with Iran and its terror proxies.

“I’m leaving for a very important meeting with President Trump in Washington,” Bibi told reporters. “The fact that this would be President Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader since his inauguration is telling.”

Netanyahu called the honor of him being the first invited a “a testimony to the strength of the Israeli-American alliance” and a “testimony to the strength of our personal friendship.”

Trump’s relationship has been more warm than predecessors former President Barack Obama and former President Joe Biden. Upon taking office, Trump reversed the Biden administration’s hold on 2,000-pound bombs being delivered to Israel.

Netanyahu also touted the accomplishments Israel and the U.S. had under the former Trump administration, including the Abraham Accords.

“That friendship and that cooperation has already yielded important results for Israel and the Middle East, including the historic Abraham Accords that President Trump led and which brought four historic peace treaties between Israel and its Arab neighbors,” he said.

Netanyahu added that while Israel and the Israel Defense Forces successfully weakened their enemies in the Middle East and “redrawn the map,” he believes that with the Trump administration, they can “redraw it even further and for the better.”

“I believe that we can strengthen security, broaden the circle of peace and achieve a remarkable era of peace through strength,” Netanyahu added.

Netanyahu’s visit comes as Trump works to negotiate the release of all hostages held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. So far, 13 of the 33 hostages slated to be released under the first phase of the deal have been freed, including U.S. citizen Keith Siegel. Seven more Americans are still held hostage. An additional 5 Thai hostages were released under a separate agreement.

In Trump’s invitation letter, he said he was “looking forward to discussing how we can bring peace to Israel and its neighbors, and efforts to counter our shared adversaries.”

“It will be my honor to host you as my first foreign leader during my second term,” Trump added.

The United Kingdom’s former prime minister, Theresa May, was the first to visit Trump at the White House during his first term.

Biden mumbled with Netanyahu: deal very close source says

President Joe Biden spoke today, Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a secret source said who's familiar with the matter. U.S. officials are sweating it out trying to reach a hostage deal before Trump takes office and forces the Hamassholes to do the deal. Obviously, if Biden's handler[s] can pull this off, Joe is going to take full credit even though he will likely not know anything about the particulars of the deal.

Biden and Netanyahu discussed efforts [Joe mumbled, Bibi spoke] that are in progress to reach a deal to halt the fighting in the Arab enclave and free the remaining 98 hostages held there, the source said. They want the living hostages freed first followed by the dead hostages. However, the way things look and Arabs hate the Jewish people, it would practically be a miracle if there remains any living hostages. See, when they're winning, they frolic in the blood of their victims; when they're losing, they claim victimhood.

Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan told Comedy News Network's (CNN) "State of the Union" program earlier on Sunday that the parties were "very, very close" to reaching a deal, but still had to get it across the finish line, much like they do with "Weekend at Bernie's Biden."

Sullivan said Biden was getting daily updates on the talks in Doha, but it isn't clear whether the alleged President understands a word of the information he's getting. He just seems to stare off into the jasmine of what's left of his mind, and makes sounds.

Israeli and Arab [who call themselves Palestinians since 1960] officials have said since Thursday that some progress has been made in the indirect talks between Israel and Hamas.

"We are still determined to use every day we have in office to get this done," Sullivan said, "and we are not, by any stretch of imagination, setting this aside."

He said there was still a chance to reach an agreement before Biden leaves office, but that it was also possible "Hamas, in particular, remains intransigent," as is their wont.

Since the Hamassholes launched their massacre on Oct. 7, 2023 and killed 1,200 Israelis while taking over 250 hostages, Israel has fought back and appears to be kicking Hamasshole butt. However, anti-Semites throughout the world don't like it when the Jews are winning, although they pretend to take pity when we're losing, and are creating anti-Semitic violence and marching in protests against the Jewish State's right to exist. Most of the protesters are simply simple useful idiots, not knowing where "from the river to the sea" is referring to, but it's a catchy rhyme, and certainly better than the: "hey, hey, ho, ho, yadda, yadda's gotta go, hey, hey . . . "

Since the initial attack on the Jewish homeland, 46,000 Gazans have been eliminated, most of who were terrorists, and a huge majority who supported them.

Vice President-elect JD Vance told the "Fox News Sunday" program in an interview taped on Saturday that he expects a deal for the release of U.S. hostages in the Middle East to be announced in the final days of the Biden administration, maybe in the last day or two.

Whoop, whoop! It took them long enough.

President-elect Donald Trump, a staunch supporter of Israel who also has a daughter and her family who are Jewish, has strongly supported Benjamin Netanyahu and the goal of destroying Hamas. Trump has vowed to bring peace to the Middle East. That won't happen overnight, but we all know that he will do all possible to make it happen.

New Tolerance Campaign offers $1 million to Queers for Palestine to hold parade in Gaza

A U.S.-based watchdog organization called The New Tolerance Campaign (NTC) made a one million dollar offer on Monday to "Queers for Palestine" as well as any LGBTQ organization to host a Gay Pride Parade in Gaza or Judea and Samaria.

“This isn’t a joke. It’s not a publicity stunt. Our offer is real,” Gregory T. Angelo, the organization's president said in a statement on the group's website. 

Angelo, who is gay, is also the former president of Log Cabin Republicans.

“For the past year, we’ve seen so-called ‘Queers for Palestine’ and allied LGBTQ organizations insist that the Palestinian territories are ‘inclusive’—well, here’s their chance to prove it. We’re willing to put our money where their mouths are to underwrite a Gay Pride Parade in Gaza or the West Bank.”

Crickets.

NTC has received commitments for the $1 million prize, which is being offered to potential parade organizers. The offer is good for the next six months, until March 16, 2025, but there's a better chance for a gay person to get hit by lightning, twice, at 12 noon in Times Square on New Year's Day.

NTC said it had attempted to publicize the campaign with full-page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post and USA Today. All three newspapers declined, citing safety concerns and the fact that they're cowards.

Times Square in New York City also declined to run the ad, saying the buildings displaying it could become targets of violence, which kind of proves the point, doesn't it.

NTC then began circulating mobile billboards on Monday around Columbia University on the Upper West Side of New York City; the headquarters of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, D.C.; and the University of California, Los Angeles.

The mobile billboards will run through Wednesday. Additional dates may be announced, the organization said.

“The campaign will also allow everyday Americans to send messages directly to the senior leadership of the Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, the LGBTQ Task Force, and Advocates for Trans Equality encouraging them to actually fight for LGBTQ rights rather than taking a political stance against the only gay-friendly country in the Middle East, Israel,” NTC’s website stated.

“This project highlights the lack of human rights for the LGBTQ community in Palestine while noting LGBTQ people live freely in Israel. It also has the potential to be a breakthrough moment for pluralism and peace throughout the Arab world,” said Angelo.

According to the rules of the challenge, the recipient group must be a recognized U.S. 501(c)(3) organization; the parade march must be at least one kilometer (approximately half a mile) in length and on a major street; and include at least 200 participants, 80% of whom must be Palestinian, and from Judea and Samaria or Gaza.

In addition, participants must outwardly “show” LGBTQ pride symbols or dress, including but not limited to rainbow flags, trans flags, full leather outfits, or drag.

At least half of the parade signs must be in Arabic and the parade filmed by NTC just to avoid any confusion among the members of the religion of peace who will view the parade and may get more involved.

Noted Middle East expert says Iran wants Trump assassinated by Election Day

You may have noticed that former President Donald Trump spoke behind bullet-proof glass at his first outdoor rally after the failed assassination attempt in July. This is a smart move because it has been discovered that the Islamic regime in Iran is trying to kill him before the November 5th Election Day.

[H/T Newsmax.com]

The news of this comes from Dr. Walid Phares, a professor, noted author and Middle East expert.

Dr. Phares was told by multiple government sources across the Mideast of the danger Trump faces and that the Iranian regime has made it clear that it wants to assassinated him by Election Day.

The ayatollahs don't like Trump after he ordered a drone missile strike in Baghdad in January 2020 that killed Qassem Soleimani, who was the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Naturally, Tehran promised bloody revenge, as is their excuse for everything from leaving the seat up to killing a leader.

Soleimani was a beloved son of Satan, second only to Ayatollah Khamanei.

As the US presidential election draws close, Iran is sweating the big stuff and believe their "growing status as a regional Mideast powerhouse will be at serious risk if the former president returns to the White House," Phares writes. And they make a good point as Trump frequently promised that he will stop Iran's nuclear weapons ambition and defund it with crippling sanctions, if he gets elected. This is the opposite of what Biden did, as he allowed the regime to cash in when sanctions were removed, due to his foreign affairs incompetence and his need to undo all that Trump did to make the world a bit safer.

"Iran is very close to having a nuclear weapon, which would have never happened," Trump said in his keynote address to the Republican National Convention last month in Milwaukee.

"This is a shame ... the damage that this administration has done," Trump correctly pointed out.

Trump blames Biden's puppet master for Iran's nuclear program resurgence and what they have been doing to Israel since October 7.

"Iran was broke. Iran had no money," Trump said during the convention. "Now Iran has $250 billion. They made it all over the last 2 1/2 years. They were broke."

The regime's leaders have made multiple verbal threats on Trump's life.

Last year, IRGC Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh said on a television program, "We are seeking to, Allah willing, kill Trump and [former Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo."

And just before last month's unsuccessful assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the U.S. had received intelligence of a regime-backed plot to kill Trump. The former president knows this and still has the courage to plow on with his campaign, while cowards like Tampon Tim Walz call him the coward.

Getting rid of Trump is Iran's highest priority along with growing their nuclear program. And if they grow it, there will be an Allahu akbar all over the place.

Biden approved Iran's assault on Israel as long as it was "within certain limits"

Iran fired a large barrage of drones, ballistic missiles and rockets at Israel Saturday night into Sunday morning. Fortunately, their result was negligible, much like alleged President Biden's "leadership." In all, over 300 weapons were fired at the Jewish State resulting in zero deaths--a world record in military waste.

Then we learned that Biden is telling Israel not to do anything about it; no harm, no foul. Can you believe it; he's telling Israel not to retaliate, perhaps because Biden has been appeasing Iran and sending them funding for their military since the crazy hazy days of Obama, when Joe was his VP.

But worse than that, Biden knew about Iran's plan of assault on Israel prior to the attack, and effectively gave the terrorists the green light as long as they abided by certain conditions, as noted in a report from the Jerusalem Post.

Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned assault against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be "within certain limits."

Turkey, a Muslim country, had denounced Israel for defending itself against Gaza but said it didn't want further escalation of tensions in the region.

The Turkish source, speaking on condition of anonymity due to his fondness of the location of his head, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan spoke to both his US Iranian counterparts in the past week to discuss the planned Iranian operation, adding Ankara had been made aware of possible developments.

Earlier this week, the useless US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Fidan to make it clear that escalation in the Middle East was not in anyone's interest, [except for Iran, which he didn't mention or didn't know was the case].

"Iran informed us in advance of what would happen. Possible developments also came up during the meeting with Blinken, and they (the US) conveyed to Iran through us that this reaction must be within certain limits," the source said.

I've said before that, despite his public support for Israel, Biden sucks as a friend of the Israel, which has been made clear by this report.

Two-faced Biden publicly told Iran not to attack Israel with the word "don't," and Iran laughed in their beards and didn't give a fiddler's fart what he said, which was revealed that it was okey-dokey to attack you know, the Jews, as long as it was "within certain limits." Does that mean Iran could kill a couple of dozen Jews, but no more? It isn't clear what that means, other than the discovery that the Biden administration, and whoever his handler [Obama] is, hate the Jewish State.

And then Biden went on vacation because that's how he deals with pressure. He obviously doesn't need to clear his head--that's already the case. 

Based on the large amount of ordnance fired at Israel, it seems as if Iran didn't listen to the babbling of a warped, demented mind.

So here's the deal: Biden tells Iran to not attack Israel. Iran figuratively flips him off, Shi'a style. Then Biden tells Iran they can attack Israel, but must do so with some restrictions. Iran again tells him to sit on it. Now Biden is telling Israel not to retaliate.

Whose side is Biden on? Well, Iran of course.

At least we know that Israel isn't going to take our Houseplant-in-Chief's advice and will do what they must to survive. 

And the media will still cover for Biden and pretend he's a strong leader, in spite of the idiot taking us to the brink of WW3.

G_d forbid.

Former U.S. State Dept. anti-Semite blames Israel for Oct. 7

He's like the defense lawyer of a rapist who blames the victim for what his client did. Former State Department official Dennis Ross, a U.S. Middle East envoy, must think his expertise comes from osmosis because he doesn't know squat about the Middle East and even less about victim versus terrorist.

Ross spoke via Zoom for the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism & Policy on Jan. 31, He offered his typical soft criticism of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, but somehow he managed to put the blame for all the atrocities leveled against Israel, on the victim: Israel.

He said of Israel's counter-terrorism tactics in Judea and Samaria, “West Bank violence [by Arabs] is not disconnected from Israel’s policies in the West Bank.”

He's only correct in the sense that it's Israel's fault that they are primarily composed of Jews. For Hamas and the rest of the anti-Semites, that's enough reason to kill, rape, burn, mutilate, and murder them one and all. 

That terrorists are responding to Israel's policies is really crazy. If that was the case, why was Jew hunting an Islamic sport since Muhammed began beheading them? They made it very clear that they oppose the existence of Israel--they say so openly. Israel is not the aggressor, and that was made abundantly obvious on October 7th. 

Israel has the existential duty to respond to Hamas and all who would see her destroyed "from the river to the sea."

And with all that Israel has to deal with, they are still the most moral army to ever exist.

If you've been awake since that date, you must be familiar with it. That's the day the Hamasshole jihadis invaded Israel by air, land and sea, and went on a bloody spree in which they mass murdered Israelis, raped, mutilated, burned and beheaded Jews, including women, children and even babies. The attack left 1,200 Israelis dead. They also took about 240 hostages who they gang raped, hacked off breasts and threw them around like a ball, and slaughtered a number of them for sport.

So if you decide not to go to Amman, Jew, Christian or otherwise, I don't blame you.

It's ironic that we are telling Israel to ceasefire; to stop the killing of "innocent" civilians, some who killed hostages that were placed with them, and 98 percent of whom are virulently anti-Semitic because it's part of their religion and how they've been taught. It's ironic to think that the United States bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the Second World War and killed thousands upon thousands of civilians outright, while others died of radiation poisoning later on. [The chart below depicts the numbers.]

And in the same bloody war, the U.S. along with Britain, bombed the crap out of Dresden, the Capital of the German state of Saxony. We flew four raids between February 13 and 15, 1945 and killed as many as 25,000 people. 

Like Israel, we warned the Japanese about the impending bombing, but unlike the Israelis, we didn't drop "roof-knock bombs" to show them we meant business. And now the United States along with the UN anti-Zionist members, are pointing fingers at the most moral armed forces to ever exist. 

How freaking ironic.

But the real irony is the fact that a recent survey showed that only 5% of Arabs surveyed rejected what Hamas did on October 7.  Most Muslims in the Middle East, along with many US and UK college students, are all in for the Hamassholes.

It's hard to fathom how the Biden administration and much of the West has the audacity to point fingers at Israel, a nation in an existential battle to exist, after what they did to gain peace in the world, if only temporary.

Imagine if the US or UK opened a restaurant and called it the Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Sure the bombings of both cities ended the war rather quickly, but imagine if we celebrated their deaths like Hamas, Hezbollah and the overwhelmingly large proportion of Arabs in the Middle East.

It's only the Jews who do wrong. Jews whom Allah transformed into apes and pigs for their disobedience according to the Qur'an (2:63-66; 5:59-60; 7:166).

Only 5% of Arabs in Middle East reject October 7 atrocities

A poll was taken which found that Arabs [Muslims] and North Africans overwhelmingly support Hamas and the October 7th massacre of over 1,200 Israeli Jews and the kidnapping of over 240 others. The latter were taken to Gaza where the men, women and children were tortured, raped, mutilated and some killed by the Jew hating, deranged, drugged out Hamas and civilian Palestinians who also took part in the carnage. 

Those polled viewed what Hamas, et al, had done was "legitimate resistance,"  according to a 16-nation survey throughout the region earlier this month.

The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, a think tank funded by the anti-Semites of Qatar, polled about 8,000 Arabs in Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, Yemen and the Palestinian Authority-controlled areas in Judea and Samaria between Dec. 12, 2023 and Jan. 5, 2024.

The Doha-based institute claimed the surveyed individuals represented over 95% of the Arab population in the region.

Around two-thirds said the Oct. 7 terror attacks in southern Israel were a “legitimate resistance operation”; 19% said that the massacre was a “somewhat flawed but legitimate resistance operation.” It might have been the beheadings and killing of children, and women in their beds that was a slight turnoff for the survey respondents.

Only 5% denounced Hamas’s war crimes as an “illegitimate operation,” and they risked being killed for lacking the necessary religious hatred of the Jews that is noted in Islamic scripture. Some, like about 3%, said it was a “legitimate resistance operation that involved heinous (unacceptable) or even criminal acts.”

Resistance to what? Better jobs offered Gazans in Israel? Better medical care and freedom to practice any religion and have any sexual preference? They were handed Gaza in 2005 and they turned it into what former President Trump likes to call a "s***hole.

The modern day attempt at genocide of the Jews received the highest support in Libya, Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco, and among Palestinians, with a staggering 0% of Judea and Samaria residents agreeing that the atrocities of Oct. 7, which, as mentioned, included beheadings, rape, and other sexual offenses, were illegitimate.

Approximately 35% of Arabs believe that the primary reason for Hamas’s murder spree was “the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.” A quarter attributed it primarily to “defending al-Aqsa Mosque [in Jerusalem’s Old City] against attacks,” according to the new study.

Israel does not occupy Palestinian land--Israel is the historical land of the Jews and dates back well before the prophet of Islam was shagging his slaves and young girls. Besides, there was no modern Palestine until 1988 when the Palestine National Council met in Algiers and proclaimed the establishment of the State of Palestine. 

Most Arabs said they disapproved of recognizing the State of Israel, with 89% saying they would support rejecting or revoking such a move, up from 84% in 2022. Meanwhile, support for the recognition of the Jewish state was the highest in Sudan (14%), Lebanon (8%) and Morocco (7%).

Just over half of the respondents said they considered the United States to be the biggest threat to the security and stability of the region, followed by Israel (26%) and the Islamic Republic of Iran (7%).

If the Middle East could have its way, there would be no more Jewish people on the face of the Earth. Sadly, many American college youth feel the same way.

But thankfully, the overall population of the United States supports Israel and we should all be thankful for that--for that is the home of our Judeo-Christian heritage.

Alexandria Obviously-Comatose accuses pro-Israel lobbying group of "funneling dark money' to undermine democracy

Repulsive Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose has accused a AIPAC of "funneling dark money" to target "progressive [read: socialist] working-class candidates of color" and Jewish activists accused AOC of using "anti-Semitic tropes" because that's what she and her fellow "Squad" members cannot help themselves from doing.

Obviously-Comatose sent out a fundraising email last week for Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) a man known to have made anti-Israel statements. The email claimed that AIPAC was trying to "undermine democracy" and "abuse campaign finance laws [in the spirit of Bernie Sanders] to spend millions of dollars of misleading attack ads."

“We just got word: AIPAC is at it again. They’re trying to recruit an establishment executive to run against my brother in The Bronx, Jamaal Bowman,” wrote AOC.

“We know what comes next," the Tarot card reading lawmaker who everyone wants to date said.  "AIPAC won’t wait much longer to start funneling dark money against Jamaal and ramping up attacks against our movement.”

Her movement on its face, is communism. That's her ultimate goal along with a majority of the Democratic Party. The proof is right in front of us.

AOC's ridiculous blathering against AIPAC is just another instance in which the Democrats have been grappling with their party's ballooning attacks on Israel, in recent weeks, and calling the only democracy in the Middle East a "racist state" in spite of Israel having a strong Muslim representation in government that does not exist in any other Muslim nation. It's the old smoke and mirrors trick the Democrats love to do with the language. 

AOC and her cronies boycotted Israeli President Isaac Herzog's address to Congress.

Marshall Wittmann, AIPAC's spokesman, said that AOC's the group would "not be deterred" by such attacks.

“We proudly support candidates who will advance the US-Israel relationship—including the majority of the Congressional Black Caucus and Hispanic Caucus and almost half of the Progressive Caucus,” Wittmann told the Washington Free Beacon. “We will not be deterred in fully engaging in the democratic process by either fringe organizations or anti-Israel individuals.”

Jewish activists slammed the dumb comments by AOC on social media.

“Truly stomach churning how many antisemitic tropes AOC managed to fit into this memo bashing @AIPAC and defending Jamaal Bowman,” wrote StopAntisemitism.org, a watchdog group that fights anti-Jewish bigotry, on Twitter.

The group said Ocasio-Cortez’s letter implied that “Jews use dark money to buy political power & influence” and that they are “wealthy white racists trying to suppress progressive working class people of color.”

Arsen Ostrovsky, a pro-Israel and human rights activist, also accused the socialist AOC of “invoking age-old anti-Semitic tropes.”

“So, let me get this straight … In 2018, @AOC unseated an incumbent Democrat to get elected. And that was fine?” he wrote on Twitter. “But now someone challenges her Squad bestie @RepBowman and all of a sudden it’s outrageous and she resorts to invoking age-old antisemitic tropes against @AIPAC?”

Bowman participated in the boycott of Herzog last month and objected to a House resolution defending Israel against accusations of racism. He is a detestable anti-Semite who, if anyone is going to be called a racist, would be him along with AOC, the so called Squad, and much of the Democratic Party.

Israel and Morocco to normalize relations as per the Trump administration

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Israel and Morocco have agreed to normalize relations and try to live in peace. This is the fourth Arab-Israel agreement in four months, making the average of Arab nations putting their anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist hatred on nation per month. Impressive, and a feat never before seen in the Middle East. Other presidents and John Kerry may have made statements to that effect, but only Trump has come through with the results. 

Well, actually Kerry said it couldn't be done, but he's a moron so you cannot take him seriously.

As Trump's remaining time in office dwindles, he said Israel and Morocco would restore diplomatic and other relations, including the immediate reopening of liaison offices in Rabat and Tel Aviv as well as the eventual opening of embassies. 

U.S. officials said it would also include joint overflight rights for airlines.

Meanwhile, presumptive president-elect Joseph Robinette Biden plans to mandate all Americans wear masks for his first 100 days in office and is in the process of trying to memorize the names of his cabinet picks that were picked out for him to pick. 

China, Iran, and Russia are looking forward to Biden's time in office, even if it's only going to be a short period of time when Kamala Harris takes over. 

And Hunter Biden says that he isn't worried about the tax evasion investigation that began in 2018 but held under wraps by the legacy media to avoid interfering with Biden's chances of winning this election, whose results are quite questionable. "With Dad as president, this too shall pass," he said, quoting an enema commercial.

Muslim commits four honor killings in Arizona

Phoenix, AZ -- A Muslim man was arrested for killing his wife, two daughters and the man with whom he thought his wife was having an affair.

Phoenix Police Sergeant Tommy Thompson reported, “[Austin Smith] said that the reason he shot these individuals is because in God’s eyes, it was alright for him to deal with someone in this manner who had been involved in adultery, extramarital affairs.”

Smith also told police he killed his seven-year-old daughter because she was “weeping for the wicked,” which he didn't consider himself to be in that category.

What the hell was this lunatic doing with a gun?

According to court documents, he said spared his three-year old who was found hiding under a bed because she reminded him of himself and he is evidently a crazy POS who thinks of himself as a 3-year-old girl.

As in many cases of honor crimes, some will protest this was not an honor killing but merely a case of domestic violence. This is due to the fear of calling out the cultural norms of the Middle East. If you ever dare say that Islam is not the religion of peace, they might kill you to prove you're wrong.

Although we don’t know Smith’s psychological profile, we can surmise someone capable of killing his children in cold blood – not to mention his wife, Dasia Patterson, and her suspected lover – has to be deranged on a certain level, or an extremely religious convert to Islam.

Yet, when we consider the underlying ideology that drove Smith's behavior, we must conclude that believing honor killings are sanctioned by God,  is an enormously motivating factor.

Smith is a recent convert to Islam. It seems plausible to believe that Westerner men who convert to this religion do so either due to an impending marriage to a Muslim woman or to a need to act upon the concept of jihad. Kind of a "Mohammad Bond, license to kill."


To understand how honor killing is institutionalized in many Muslim countries, we must look at their penal codes:

In areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority, a man who honor kills a relative is either pardoned, given a suspended sentence or six months to three years imprisonment which is reduced further once appealed. 

In Syria, an honor killer was exempt from punishment until 2009 when the punishment for honor killing became a minimum of merely two years in prison. 

Jordan, which has one of the highest rates of honor killings, and in Iraq, punishments are significantly reduced for honor crimes, as directed by the penal code.

Turkey is another good example of how honor killings are hardly being punished.

Since the Islamist government took over,Turkey has the highest rate of honor killings in the world, and although Turkey was trying to be accepted as a member of the EU, the leniencies in its laws regarding honor killings were changed. Now, women who are considered to have violated the family’s honor are often forced to commit suicide (or their deaths are made to look like suicides) so that family members can avoid being sent to prison.

The Turkish city of Batman in southeastern Turkey is now called “Suicide City” because of the high incidences of honor killings. Young boys are also often appointed by other family members to do the actual killing so they can get a shorter jail sentence as they are minors.

Until the ideology of honor and its accompanying culture is abolished in the Islamic world (and everywhere it is practiced), even women in Phoenix like Dasia Patterson don’t have a chance (even if they aren’t committing adultery, as close friends of Patterson attest).

Iran's Rouhani calls Israel a 'cancerous tumor'

Tehran -- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani referred to Israel on Saturday as a "cancerous tumor" established by Western countries to advance their interests in the Middle East.

He is wrong.

Israel has historically been the land of the Jews and, after World War II, when six million Jews in Europe had no place to go and were slaughtered by the Nazis, the were given back their land by Western civilized people.

Leaders of Islamic nations often condemn Israel and predict its destruction. But nobody does it more virulently as Iran, and still, Rouhani, a relative moderate, doesn't usually use such disgusting rhetoric.

It's anti-Semitic as much as it's anti-Zionist.

The Iranian president spoke at an annual Islamic Unity Conference and said "one of the ominous results of World War OO was the formation of a cancerous tumor in the region." Where else could the Jews go to get away from the Nazis and subsequent Islamic terror?

Any nation that supports Hezbollah and Hamas, both that are pledged to end the existence of Israel, cannot be allowed to do business with the United States, yet Obama gave them pallets of money, just to get the nuclear deal done.

Hamasshole Leader Ismail Haniyeh

And it isn't as if Iran loves the United States of America. They chant "Death to America!" as often as they chant "Death to Israel!"

Secular Jews, those who identify as Jews based on eating bagels and lox, are no different than other leftists who agree that Israel is the problem in the region. It doesn't occur to them and other anti-Zionists that, here we have a country which, compared to the surrounding Islamic countries, is the size of a small closet. And all of those theocratic or dictatorial countries want to see the death of Israel. These secular Jews and the others, don't identify as Jews, they identify as leftists, and as such, see the thriving country of Israel as somehow the oppressors of the backward countries.

In fact, when Israel offered to teach the Palestinian people their successful irrigation techniques to best grow their crops and feed the Palestinian people, they rejected the knowledge because it comes from Jews.

Rouhani Saturday said on Saturday that the United States cultivates close ties with “regional Muslim nations” to protect Israel, an apparent reference to Iran’s regional rival Saudi Arabia and the kingdom’s Sunni Arab allies. He said bowing to American pressure amounts to “treason.”

He added, however, that Iran was prepared to defend Saudi Arabia from “terrorism and superpowers.”

“We do consider you as a brother,” he lied. Shiite Muslims hate Arab Sunni Muslims, but he went on to say “We do consider the people of Mecca and Medina our brothers,” he added, referring to Islam’s two holiest cities, in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties with Iran nearly three years ago after Iranian protesters stormed its diplomatic posts in Iran in response to the kingdom’s execution of a prominent Shiite cleric. The two countries support opposite sides in the wars in Syria and Yemen.

We need to remind ourselves that Israel is the only democratic, civilized society in the Middle East and they are our closest ally.

Jimmy Carter calls Trump a 'disaster in human rights,' 'treating people equal'

Former garbage of a president Jimmy Carter called President Trump a "disaster" regarding the issue of human rights in a Washington Post interview. His wife Rosalyn, said the Trump is not truthful, which "hurts everything."

And if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period.

Carter told the left-leaning rag August 17 that he "always told the truth" when he was president, in a feeble attempt to sound like George Washington, who we all knew never told a lie.

Except when he did.

He once said, "This is the first time I've ever been called a liar," which was not true.

He invited listeners to write to him: "Just put Jimmy Carter, Plains, Georgia' on the envelope, and I'll get it. I open every letter myself and read them all." That was a lie--his press secretary that all mail addressed to him was forwarded to the campaign in Georgia.

Carter invariably introduced himself as a "nuclear physicist and a peanut farmer." Turns out he was neither, only holding a bachelor's degree, and he owned a peanut warehouse, not a farm.

He bragged that after his term of governor ended, Georgia had a budget surplus of $200 million. It was later discovered that the real amount was $43 million, which was all that remained of a $91 million surplus that he inherited when he took office.

He described a program he had pioneered, employing welfare mothers to care for the mentally handicapped. "You should see them bathing and feeding the retarded children. They're the best workers we have in the state government," he told an audience. Except that they did not exist.

But the worst lie the anti-Zionist Carter said was the lie he told 20 something years ago and repeated in his book/novel on the Middle East. He said that in the 1967 war, Israel preemptively attacked Jordan.

The record is crystal clear that while preemptively attacking Syria and Egypt, Israel begged Jordan via US intermediaries to stay out of the fight. King Hussein [not to be confused with King Barack Hussein Obama] felt he could not do so because the Koran orders Muslims to fight the Jews, so he ordered his forces to attack Israel, and the Israelis fought back and kicked their collective butts.

So the statement by Carter that he always told the truth is itself a lie.

Carter had been quiet on Trump previously, and even praised him for his efforts with North Korea.

"If President Trump is successful in getting a peace treaty that's acceptable to both sides with North Korea, I think he certainly ought to be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize [like Obama was for doing absolutely nothing aside from being black]," Carter told Politico in May.

But he questioned Trump's character in that interview.

"I think the president ought to tell the truth. I think the president ought to be for peace. I think the president ought to treat everybody equally. So, equality and peace and truth, and I'd say basic justice are some of the moral values that I think every person should have," Carter said.

There is no question in my mind that President Trump lies. But he's an effective president who is getting conservative policies passed and does what he says he's going to do [although he often says he didn't do what people say he did].

However, I didn't hear Carter say anything about Obama's lies, Clinton's lies and anyone in his party.

So shut up, buttercup!

European leaders facing growing public disdain, do a 'Trump'

The E.U. is struggling to solve their Middle East and Africa migrant problem as wave after wave of Muslims leave their s***hole countries to relocate and create a new s***hole country that they can call their own. The migrants are being held on a G

reek island awaiting future destinations.

So while the U.S. Democratic Party condemns President Trump for alleging he called certain African nations "s***hole countries," the European politicians, even those on the left, didn't join in on the condemnation. They have immigration problems that Trump is trying to avoid, and the political winds are blowing methane.

So while Europe's hypocritical leaders have spoken out against Trump, now they're keeping quiet because the problem has finally become obvious to the formerly oblivious populations across the continent.

The New York Times described a "ringing silence across broad parts of the European Union, especially in the east, and certainly no chorus of condemnation." 

It's a populist revolt emerging--Germans sick of the groping of their women like the Cologne New Year's Eve debacle January 1, 2017. East Europeans sick of the crime, the rapes and the anti-Semitism that has become commonplace.

While Merkel threw open the door to Germany and won praise and was given Times' Person of the Year--she opened the door to crime, terror attacks and a myriad of social problems. Her approval sank into the toilet and she had to move to the right to retain power--a move proving that her moral compass is in her nether regions.

She pushed for a "burqa ban" in December 2016 and promised the 2015 migrant inundation, for which she didn't take personal blame,  "cannot, should not and must not be repeated."

Still, her party Christian Democrats (CDU) took a big hit in the national elections last September. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party surged and Merkel was fighting for her job. Now the CDU looks to convince former coalition partners, the left-wing Social Democrats (SDU), to form another coalition to keep her in power.

Merkel wants to cap the refugee influx to about 200,000 people per year--a significant decrease from the hordes that entered Germany in 2015.

Obviously, the migrants/refugees/immigrants will not be screened based on merit or education, but on some sort of quota. This is not what Trump wants for us, but it seems too late for Merkel and her ilk to be picky regarding who they let in.

Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary have been significantly more stringent in asserting their own sovereignty in dealing with immigration, in spite of opposition from E.U. officials, none of whom actually lives near any migrants.

Hungary erected a border fence along with even more border security measures and "did a Trump" by asking the E.U. to pay for half of it. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has used language that makes Trump's sound like Pope Francis. In an interview with Germany's Bild, he called migrants "Muslim invaders" and called multiculturalism "an illusion."

I agree with Orban in the first instance, but see multiculturalism not as an illusion, but as a "liberal illusion."

In a follow-up interview this week, Orban siad, "If you take masses of non-registered immigrants from the Middle East into your country, you are importing terrorism, crime, anti-Semitism, and homophobia."

Orban is the man! He has the courage to speak what he, and those of us willing to be honest, and therefore politically incorrect know is the truth.

"[In Hungary] there are no ghettos and no no-go areas, no scenes like New Year's Eve in Cologne. The images from Cologne have deeply moved us Hungarians," he said. "I have four daughters. I cannot help my children grow up in a world where something like Cologne can happen."

Even French centrist Emmanuel Macron, who beat Marine Le Pen, a strong anti-migration right-wing opponent, has rejected an open-arms migration approach for France. And while many saw Macron's landslide victory as a sign that Europe was opening its arms again to migrants, in a New Year's speech he admitted: "We can't welcome everyone, and we can't act without rules."

Gee what an novel idea. Why didn't Obama think of that one?

France has even taken a tougher line on economic migrants, which caused his own party to criticize him as being too tough and catering to the right-wing.

Reuters reported that opponents point to a new bill to increase detention times and deport anyone not classified as a refuge from a war zone. 

But Macron followed this up Tuesday with a visit to the former "Jungle camp" at Calais, (aka "The S***hole of Calais") a huge refugee camp at the port to the U.K. that was deconstructed in 2016. 

In a meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May, Macron is expected to demand a renegotiation over the border arrangement with the U.K., including more funding from them to take on more Muslim invaders. The U.K. is expected to jump at the offer since they've decided to leave the EU highly motivated by migration issues and a need for better border security.

Perhaps they should build a wall.

Meanwhile, here at home

In 2016, Britain allowed immigration by child asylum seekers from Calais who had family members in the U.K. It turned out that photos of these "children" depicted what one Conservative MP described as "hulking young men" presenting themselves as children.

In other words, the Muslim invasion.

In Austria, a right-wing government was formed in December led by Sebastian Kurz, a 31-year-old who vigorously campaigned on a tough migration stance.

Austria will take over the presidency of the E.U. Council this summer and Kurz said in an interview that one of his top priorities will be "border control to stop illegal migration to Europe."

We shall see what really happens since Kurz told the German media that the continent's view on migration is now much closer to his own.

"There has been a lot of movement in recent years," he said. "For example, the German position is now much closer to ours than it was two years ago. Many states have moved in the right direction. Now we need a focus on proper protection of the external borders of the EU and not just the constant debate about the distribution of refugees within the European Union by quotas."

Quotas are just plain stupid.
