BREAKING: Vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge near Niagara Falls

The FBI terrorism task force is investigating an explosion of a vehicle at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing between the U.S. and Canada, as the agency confirmed Wednesday. [H/T Fox News]

Currently the international border crossing between Western New York and Canada remains closed. 

A 27-year-old male was injured and was taken to Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital with minor injuries and the two people, possibly illegal migrants, in the vehicle are dead.

Federal authorities said the incident involved a vehicle as it attempted to enter the U.S., according to local reports.

"The FBI Buffalo Field Office is investigating a vehicle explosion at the Rainbow Bridge, a border crossing between the US and Canada in Niagara Falls," the FBI said in a statement.

Peace Bridge, Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, and Whirlpool Bridge are also closed as the incident is investigated.

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) [aka "Governor Obvious"] said on X that she is monitoring the situation closely and asked the New York State Police to work with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force to "monitor all points of entry to New York."

The two men in the car are dead, according to the police sources. 

A briefcase or suitcase was located at the scene of the explosion and is being treated as a possible explosive device and the bomb squad is handling the package, as ABC News has reported.

Ron Rienas, general manager of the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority, said that all four U.S.-Canada bridges that go over the Niagara River have been closed while the investigation continues. A large police presence has gathered in the area, according to several videos.

It isn't known whether the  vehicle, which exploded on the U.S. side, was traveling to or from Canada or whether it had passed through the border checkpoint, but it appears that the vehicle was driving toward a building when it exploded.

More details will likely follow.

Hamas prisoners are going to be a problem for Israel

Israel agreed to a temporary cease-fire for a hostage deal that is to take place on Thursday morning. It's likely that Hamas hasn't agreed to not kill Jews wherever they find them, because that's kind of what their take on Islam tells them to do as they take their scripture literally.

The deal is for Israel to exchange three female Palestinian prisoners for every one woman or child Hamas releases from their clutches somewhere in the Gaza Strip. So Israel will release 150 wannabe terrorists, and Hamas will release 50 prisoners, mostly women and children. It's believed that three Americans are among those that are to be freed.

BREAKING: Israel, Hamas Strike a Hostage Deal -- Here are the Details

The difference is, the Israeli women and children being released have done nothing to merit their being kidnapped, but the women being held by Israel, while not being successful at killing Jews, have given it "the old mosque try." They have been imprisoned for attempted murder and terrorism against Israeli civilians and IDF personnel.

The list of the 150 released prisoners just completely debunked the propaganda that Israel arrested innocent Palestinian women and children who "just threw stones." They were as innocent as Nazis but not as adept at murder on the first try.

The Palestinians who are to be released in this hostage deal, are convicted terrorists serving time for having attempted to murder Jews.

The Israelis who will be freed are innocent civilians being held hostage by terrorists.

There is no equivalence. None.— Avi Mayer אבי מאיר (@AviMayer) November 21, 2023

It's another garbage deal Israel is willing to take because they value life. According to the Jerusalem Post, a number of family members of Israeli hostages actually oppose any deal the requires exchanging terrorists for their loved ones:

Bereaved families and survivors of Hamas's October 7 attack have issued a statement on Tuesday stating their opposition to a hostage deal that would include the release of terrorists in a prisoner exchange.

"We know and warn that any terrorist who is released now will return and cause harm in the future. In the Gilad Shalit deal, the perpetrators of the October 7 massacre were released, and there is no reason why the release of the terrorists should be any different this time."

So the question is whether Israel is making the right choice. Remember, in the Gilad Shalit deal, Israel released 1,000 prisoners for one Israeli soldier. While that says volumes about the moral differences between Israel and Hamas, it also points to a frustrating scenario in which Hamas knows the Israelis will get a crappy deal while they get their terrorists back in action.

Cornel West accuses Israel, not Hamas, of "genocidal attack" on Gaza

Cornel West, a third party presidential candidate, appeared on NewsNation's “CUOMO" Tuesday. The avowed Communist condemned Israel for refusing to lay down and die when it bombed Gaza in retaliation to the brutal Oct. 7 attack that butchered 1,200 Israelis, wounded about 5,300 and took around 240 hostages, some of whom have been killed. But West likened Israel's response to genocide, when it was Hamas who proudly declared that this is their intention to do to the Jews.

But rather than seeing the events for what they are, West blamed the victims. Maybe the women and girls Hamas raped and mercilessly slaughtered were dressed provocatively and were asking for it.

“We’re living in a genocidal attack in real time, where nearly 7,000 children have been killed in less than 45 days, so all of the talk about X or Y is nothing but rationalizations of the proceeding, of the promoting of this kind of genocidal attack,” West said, refusing to take into account how Hamas uses children and others as human shields, and how the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) take great pains and risk the lives of their soldiers, at limiting civilian casualties. 

It has also been shown that Hamas used the Al Shifa Hospital as a sort of headquarters, which they deny. 

Using hospitals or religious places of worship is forbidden in the Geneva Convention but the terrorists obviously don't care. Anytime an enemy does this, the facility is no longer protected, but even so, Israel still did not level it to the ground. Instead, they went in, room-by-room, looking for the terrorists. 

It was later seen on video that prior to the IDF's arrival, hostages were taken to Al Shifa and some of the Hamas terrorists were dressed as hospital staff--another breach of the 1949 Geneva Convention.

In addition, on Monday and Tuesday, Israel produced photos and videos showing weapons being stored inside the hospital, a tunnel shaft on the grounds outside and a blast door leading to a tunnel.

While West said Hamas was “wrong” for its attack on Israel, he argued “they were resisting” because of suffering. 

Why doesn't West ask Israeli Arabs how they're "suffering." It turns out that they're better off than their Gaza counterparts, have more freedom, and are even represented in the Israeli Knesset.

“Palestinian children are not receiving any attention from the U.S. government, from the Israeli government,” West said.

That's because the Palestinian kids are too busy being human shields. And let's never forget that Palestinians are able to get medical care in Israeli hospitals, while the reverse is not true.

West is among those who have called on Israel to institute a cease-fire so that Hamas can get a breather, regroup, rearm and resupply so they can more effectively come up with a "final solution."

West is an anti-Semite clear and simple, and anti-Semites hate that the Jews aren't walking into the ovens anymore.

Never again is Now!

Professor who was "tempted to shoot up Israeli music festival" resigns

Laura Mullen: hatred wrapped in pink

Anyone who defends Hamas is a Hamasshole who has so much hatred in their heart that they must be exposed for their anti-Semitism and blatant hatred. One such person is a Wake Forest University professor, Laura Mullen.

Just days after the Nova Music Festival slaughter of Israelis and defending Hamas, this disgusting person said that she would have been "tempted" to kill festival goers too.

"So it’s kind of a Duh, but if you turn me out of my house, plow my olive groves under, and confine what’s left of my family to the small impoverished state you run as an open-air prison, I could be tempted to shoot up your dance party, yeah, even knowing you will scorch the Earth," she wrote in a now-deleted post that was seen by the Winston-Salem Journal.

It's as if this person who teaches creative writing has created a false narrative about Israel and the Gazans. It's as if she doesn't really know the true history of the Jews and Judea, or anything about the ancient Hebrew artifacts that are constantly being uncovered that existed even before Islam was a thing.

Parents and students were rightfully disgusted with the inhumane Mullen, who also was the Kenan chair of the humanities in the English and creative writing department. They wanted her fired.

The Jew-hater eventually resigned for "personal reasons." But refusing to admit the truth, she claimed the college "threw her to the wolves."

She defended the post claiming it was supposed to be "raw, direct, poetic," when in fact it was hateful, barbaric, and as poetic as so called 'art' that uses human body fluids. 

"I care deeply about what happens to innocent people everywhere. My tweet reflected my understanding of history and the results of oppression." 

If she doesn't understand that sadistically beheading babies or putting them in ovens to kill them is wrong, anything she says about the massacre is bullcrap.

She claimed that she received no personal backlash from students.

"I don’t have any students coming to me and saying, ‘Hey, you increased my fear and anxiety." Maybe they were too afraid to say anything to a person who supports what Hamas did to Israelis on October 7.

Wake Forest University officials said the post ‘caused significant anxiety and fear for members of our community." 

North Carolina University’s Chabad chapter, a Jewish group, said: "Students and parents alike have expressed concern for their safety in reaction to her hateful words.

"As Jewish students, we are alarmed and appalled that she is willing to make a joke of the massacre at the Supernova Music Festival that killed over 250 Israeli civilians.

"Her threatening language plays into anti-Semitic sentiment, a problem that poses a threat to Wake Forest students and that has no place at our school."

Laura Mullen, whatever she professes to know, doesn't know jack about Israel, but she is a professor of hatred.

Israel-Hamas War Day 46: Hostage deal or no deal?

Danial Hagari spoke today about the situation with the hostages on this 46th day since the Oct. 7 slaughter of Jews in Israel. 

He warned of being alert to misinformation and only consider reliable information.

Israel is prevailing in the war and continue to expose the tunnels below Al Shifa Hospital. 

Currenly, IDF spokesperson tells of a possible hostage deal with Hamas, but it isn't really trustworthy because Hamassholes cannot be trusted. Supposedly, the hostages will be taken to the Egyptian border and then sent to Israel. 

So far, 390 IDF soldiers have fallen in battle.

IDF reports first use of Iron Sting System in combat that is less costly and highly effective it appears. There have been rocket alerts in Ashkelon and launches have been noted from Lebanon.

The IDF has announced that it has killed the Deputy Commander of Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades in Lebanon. You remember those guys--Qassem Soleimani was in charge of those terrorists until former President Donald Trump had him blown to smithereens by a drone. 

Currently, we have no clear idea as to the number of hostages who are still alive, if any, so the deal Hamas is supposedly offering must be actualized very cautiously. Hamas is the proverbial scorpion and Israel cannot be the frog.

I believe it's a mistake for any country to give in to the hostage-takers, but it's easy for me to say as I have nobody in my life who is being held by these barbarians. But if you pay off the enemy for  hostages, it will encourage future hostage-taking.

Israeli base seriously damaged by Hezbollah rocket attack

Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist gang of Islamists based in Lebanon, caused "heavy damage" to an IDF base on Monday after launching a rocket attack directed at the base. 

More than 1,000 rockets, missiles, drones and mortars were fired at Israel since the start of the October 7 attack in which Hamas butchered 1,200 Israelis, wounded about 5,300 and kidnapped 240 plus men, women, children and babies.

This recent attack as reported by The Times of Israel, were launched from  “Lebanon at the northern communities of Arab al-Aramshe and Bar’am, as well as the Biranit army base.”

Fortunately, no casualties were reported from the strikes, however, there was heavy damage and a large fire caused by the rocket barrage, the report said.

Later, in the same day, Hezbollah fired about two dozen rockets along with three suicide drones, likely from Iran, at various Israel locations along the border.

Hezbollah is a powerful terrorist organization with more than 100,000 rockets and tens of thousands of terrorists. They are much more advanced than Hamas and pose a significantly greater danger to Israel. Additionally, they receive over $700,000,000 annually from Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hezbollah was “playing with fire” as it continued to ramp up its attacks against Israel.

“There are those who think they can expand their attacks against our troops and against civilians,” he said. “This is playing with fire. Fire will be met with much stronger fire. They must not try us, because we have displayed only a little part of our power. We will harm those who harm us.”

Muslim man faces hate crime after claim he was hit by person yelling: "kill all Palestinians"

Hamas' "Jussie Smollett"

A Muslim man in Ohio faces criminal charges after he allegedly lied about a hate crime regarding being hit by a car by a person yelling, "kill all Palestinians."

The North Ridgeville Police Department said that 20-year-old Hesham A. Ayyad came to a local hospital on October 22, and told police that he was struck by a car in a "racially motivated" incident. The following day, the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a jihadi-supporting organization, predictably called for an investigation into Ayaad's claims.

"We call on state, local and federal law enforcement authorities to monitor and investigate crimes related to the rising Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism," Faten Odeh, CAIR-Ohio, Cleveland Interim Executive Director said in a statement. 

The term 'Islamophobia' is used by Islamic organizations to shut down any negative discussions that reveal Muslims in a bad light. CAIR is the poster organization with such expertise. Put down Hamas and you're an Islamophobe, as they will label you.

So CAIR went on: "We hope the North Ridgeville Police Department and the FBI will collect all the information they need to charge this individual with a hate crime. We should all feel safe to walk down the street to grab a bite to eat, go to the store and go to school."

It turns out the North Ridgeville PD did collect all the information and found out that Ayyad lied. CAIR said that Ayyad was walking home from lunch and was hit by an individual in a dark SUV as he peacefully walked along the road.

As per Ayyad, the driver aggressively swerved and rolled down his window and yelled, "Kill all Palestinians" and "Long live Israel." The driver then made a U-turn and struck him while shouting "Die!"

But soon police investigated Ayyad's and found that his allegations were fabricated, as reported by WKYC.

Police confirmed to the local station that Ayyad was never struck by a vehicle nor subjected to racial slurs.

After reviewing video evidence, police found that he was injured during an earlier fight with his brother, 19-year-old Khalil A. Ayyad, because the two idiots love to fight and hate Jews, so their idea was like a jihad of sorts.

WKYC reported that both brothers were arrested and charged with domestic violence and assault.

In addition, Hersham Ayyad is accused of making false alarms, falsification, and obstructing official business.

The two brothers were released from custody Wednesday after each posted bond.

CAIR is at a loss of words and did not comment.

Comrade Bernie Sanders wants strings attached for US aid to Israel

Still commie after all these years

Sen. Bernie Sanders (Communist-VT) wants the US to withhold aid to Israel if they don't do what he says: don't bomb so much, limit construction in Judea and Samaria, and get out of Gaza after the war so that the jihadis can regroup, rearm and re-terrorize the Jewish State.

Comrade Sanders doesn't appreciate the counter-terrorism operations in the Gaza Strip the IDF performed last week. He seems upset that Israel isn't lying down and taking what's coming to them. And just because Bernie was born a Jew, don't think for a second that he has any love for Israel--he doesn't, and he wants conditions placed on them.

Sanders released a statement on his website last Thursday where he lamented the deaths on the Israeli side of the fight, and on the Jew-hating side of the fight.

“Since October 7th, there has not been a day that goes by that I am not deeply saddened and distressed by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East,” he wrote.

“To see innocent young people slaughtered at a music festival, children and elderly people kidnapped, and then, thousands of civilians killed, including entire families being wiped out and thousands of children dead, torments me and millions of others who are watching this conflict unfold.”

But that didn't imply that he believes Israel should fight back with equal or more ferocity, just because the. terrorists sadistically raped, butchered and captured Jews of all ages, burning some to death, beheading others, or simply mutilating them while they lived to see the atrocity being waged against them for being Jewish.

Sanders, a parasite of the U.S. taxpayer, then wrote that the U.S. must take action to force Israel to curtail its air campaign in Gaza and to press Jerusalem to allow expanded aid into the Hamas-ruled coastal enclave. 

Funny, but Americans didn't feel the same about the Japanese in the Second World War after they attacked Pearl Harbor, or the Germans when we bombed the city of Dresden. 

“The issue now is to act decisively to end the indiscriminate bombing by Israel…and secure a significant humanitarian pause so that the massive humanitarian aid that is needed – food, water, medicine, and fuel – can get into Gaza and save lives.”

Sorry comrade, you can go to hell. You don't have a clue about the situation, the strategic understanding and the goals of Hamas, Hezbollah, and for that matter, the implications of a future caliphate and how it impacts on all Western nations. 

Sanders added that “this horrific situation” can only be changed by “attaching conditions” to a bill coming before Congress to grant supplemental aid to Israel which include:

• An end to (Israel’s) indiscriminate bombing and a significant pause so that massive humanitarian assistance can come into the region;
• The right of displaced Gazans to return to their homes;
• No long-term Israeli occupation of Gaza;
• An end to settler violence in the West Bank and a freeze on settlement expansion; and
• A commitment to broad peace talks for a two-state solution in the wake of the war.

Now let's look at Sanders' demands and analyze them.

First, Israel's "indiscriminate bombing" is not indiscriminate at all. Israel takes great pains to avoid civilian casualties, and if Sanders didn't hate the Jewish State so much, he would place the blame for civilian casualties squarely on the shoulders of Hamas, who refuse to allow civilians to leave areas in which Israel has forewarned them they will be bombing. What other nation at war does that. Sure, the U.S. did it in Japan in the "war to end all wars" but we knew civilians were still there and we dropped an atom bomb anyway. 

I don't suspect that Israel would stop displaced Gazans from returning to their homes--this was never an issue and Sanders seems to be making it a straw man issue.

If Israel fails to either occupy Gaza or in some way control it, terrorist attacks will continue and innocent people will die. Sanders is typical of career politicians who make policies that never affect them directly. If all lawmakers lived near an international border, you could bet the immigration laws would be enforced.

Ending settler violence in the West Bank will have to be put. on hold until we can get our magic wand fixed. Insofar as settlement expansion is involved, consider the spoils of war--words that could have just as easily come from the mouth of Muslims, as they have for centuries.

Peace talks for a two-state solution is an incredibly good example of the blatant ignorance Sanders has about Israel and the Palestinians. Every time a two-state solution was offered, Israel accepted it to avoid conflict, but the Palestinians refused it. I believe it was offered four or five times--don't quote me--but each time they refused the offer because their goal isn't to settle with Israel; their goal is "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and thus destroy Israel and the Jews.

Sanders is a fool who then went on to attack the Netanyahu government.

“Netanyahu’s right-wing extremist government does not have the right to wage almost total warfare against the Palestinian people. That is morally unacceptable and in violation of international law.”

Wrong. The Israeli government has a moral obligation to its people to wage a total war to obliterate Hamas and any other terrorist group that threatens the existence of Israel. Did I mention that Sanders is a fool?
