T. Belman. Watch this very important program. Mark starts out by giving a dissertaion on tolitarianism’s use of propaganda which he said is denying the truth and promoting lies. He points out how the main stream media employs it to gaslight the masses. He goes on to show all the ways the Biden administration is supporting Israel’s enemies with billions of dollars and undermining Israel by handcuffing her and falsely accusing her.

He then interviews General Keane, who is totalling on Israel’s side. Keane explains how the administration is encouraging Israel’s enemies by her constant criticism of her actions. Tom Cotton is also interviewed and he too is a loyal friend of Israel. He tears into the real Pamela Harris. Not to be missed.

Where is the Muslim American Babe Ruth?  

Dr. Norman Berdichevsky

On December 22, 1942, just a year from the attack on Pearl Harbour, an ad was placed in The New York Times expressing the devotion and patriotism of loyal German-Americans to the United States, and their determined opposition to Nazi tyranny and the cold blooded extermination of the Jews of Europe and the barbarities committed against other peoples that was corrupting the soul of the German people expressed by the words “We utterly repudiate” every thought and deed of the Nazis. The authors not only proclaimed where they stood, they asked to know where the readers of the declaration stood. The declaration was signed by 48 prominent German-Americans including Babe Ruth. The ad also bore a portrait of Jesus with a crown of thorns.

Could any declaration have been clearer? Nothing was left in doubt. Yet, since September 11, 2001 no such statement or hint of total repudiation of the extremist Jihadist philosophy of radical Islam has been forthcoming by any recognized Islamic body, community or acknowledged leader in the United States. Many Muslim “leaders” continue to sidestep the issue, pretending it does not exist, claiming Jihad refers to an internal struggle of conscience.

Gov. Walz Posed With ‘Godfather of Campus Antisemitism’

When CAIR boss Nihad Awad was caught on video celebrating Oct 7 after a long history of the group’s support for Hamas and Hezbollah, and other Islamic terrorists.

Back then, the Biden White House appeared to condemn “these shocking, Antisemitic statements in the strongest terms.”

ANTI-ZIONISM AND ANTISEMITISM: IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?  

Yale Zussman, PhD,  (MIT, Political Science)

The question of whether anti-Zionism is inherently antisemitic has received much attention since the beginning of the current Gaza war, mainly from forces that seek to deny that their attitude toward Israel is basically racist.  The answer is more complicated than is generally acknowledged, reflecting the roles of “anti-Zionism” and “antisemitism” in the wider confrontation between cultures.

“Zionism” is both the belief that Jews have a right to govern themselves and the movement established to bring that about.  “Anti-Zionism” is the belief that Israel has no right to exist and should be destroyed, and thus that Jews should be denied a right accepted for all other peoples.  Definitions of antisemitism include having different standards for Jews and others, so, since there is no “ism” rejecting national claims for any other people, the belief that Jews alone should be denied the right to govern themselves is necessarily antisemitic.  The double-standard is blatant and undeniable.  That “anti-Zionist” activists offer this concept as justification for attacks on individual Jews indicates that even those who publicly deny the link accept it.  That this question is taken seriously is another example of the success Leftist sophistry has had in presenting their case for perpetual “revolution,” a.k.a. “globalizing the intifadah.”

A preemptive strike on Hezbollah could change the battlefield  

Peloni:  The attack on October 7 has been too long held as a comparison to Yom Kippur.  With the decisive actions of the recent twin assassinations, Israel has changed the paradigm of one of response to one of initiative, and we have seen how that initiative has served to draw our enemies to hesitate when they should have already acted.  Israel must continue to maintain the initiative, and must not herself hesitate to follow one victory with another.  The momentum is ours to lose.  Let us not lose it.

Hezbollah failed to attack Israel on October 7, missing a chance to open a second front that could have been devastating for Israel; although there can be no surprise attack in the conflict, Israeli initiative could win the war

Brigadier General (res.) Amir Avivi | August 8, 2024

Hezbollah rocket attack on Western Galilee

“In war, there is but one favorable moment, the great art is to seize it.” This quote by Napoleon remains one of the most fundamental principles of warfare to this day. Our adversary in the north had such a moment on the morning of October 7 but failed to seize it.

CHILLING REPORT FROM HOLLAND  

By:  Geert Wilders  2013

Thank you very much for inviting me. I come to America with a mission.  All is not well in the old world.  There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.  We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe.  This is not only a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself. It is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West.  The United States was the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe.  Then, I will say a few things about Islam.  To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

The Harris Flop Would Be Scarier Than Her Flip  

By: Victor Davis Hanson | American Greatness | August 8, 2024

Joe Biden won in 2020 on the premise that until the November election, he would pose as good ol’ Joe from Scranton and not scare voters.

So Biden talked about “unity” and “competency.” He erased his prior wild primary pandering to left-wing voters about shutting down fracking and opening the border.

But as soon as he was elected in 2020, Biden became the leftist veneer for a hyper-radical Obama third term.

The Kursk Gamble  

Peloni:  The mounting debacle at Kursk is proving to be a public humiliation for Russia which has the potential of changing the bargaining position of Ukraine, if they are able to meet the seemingly insurmountable possibility of hold Kursk for the next several months.  Yet for Ukraine to be able to do so, it would require that Ukraine be able to hold newly won grounds with no defensive entrenchments in a better fashion than they defended territories which they had prepared for defense over the course of a decade.  Hence, I would argue that Ukraine has little chance of holding these grounds for very long at all. In any event, time will tell how harmful this humiliation will prove for Russia, but even if Ukraine proves to be more resourceful at holding Russian lands against the Russian forces than it did at holding Ukrainian lands, it will only mean that Ukraine will lose the war on better terms – not an inconsequential goal of course for a country ready to accept its defeat, but as I noted, time will tell if even this limited goal is somehow miraculously achieved.

A Ukrainian Gamble for peace negotiations?

Stephen Bryen | Weapons and Strategy | August 9, 2024

The Russians got caught with their pants down in Kursk.  The Ukrainians pulled off a large-scale invasion using new tactics.  They advanced far into Russian territory, mostly unopposed, or countered only by some inexperienced territorial units.  They did it with drone power but not any other air power, mostly because they don’t have any (notwithstanding the symbolic F-16s which are based in Romania).

Russia has declared a Federal Emergency in the Kursk region.

Oct. 7: What Happened, Why It Happened, and What Made It Horribly Inevitable  

A new documentary brings to light the seeds of the massacre.

by

Hamas’ massacre of 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, was a singular event in world history. This is true not solely because of the breathtaking savagery of those attacks but because of the campaign that began almost immediately after them to turn the perpetrator into the victim and isolate Israel on the global stage.

The fact has been only sparsely explored, but both the attacks and the anti-Israel reaction were planned long in advance. Now, a new documentary from the courageous and renowned filmmaker Pierre Rehov brings to light the seeds of the massacre, some of which were planted centuries before, and the powerful forces that have worked so energetically since Oct. 7 to turn the world against Israel.

The strategic significance of Haniyeh’s justified assassination  

Ron Jager | August 2, 2024

Israel is bracing and preparing for the expected response by the Middle East’s axis of evil; Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iraqi militias, and the Houthis of Yemen. Over the past 48 hours Israel eliminated Fuad Shukr- the Chief of Staff of Hezbollah, Ismail Haniyeh – a top leader of Hamas, and earlier in the month Mohammed Deif, the Chief of Staff of Hamas. All of the targeted assassinations where executed with precise intelligence within the heart of Beirut, Teheran, and Gaza. All of these terror leaders where personally responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israeli’s over the years, and they all were sworn enemies not only of the State of Israel but of all Jews throughout the world.

Israel Update Special Report: Test Case in Gaza – Can Civilized Nations Defeat Barbarism?  

Peloni:  Prof. Schueftan explains that Israel needs to be Sparta outwardly and Athens inwardly to defeat the barbaric opponents it faces.  Gadi adds that the West are plagued by an auto-immune condition where the West is turning against its own values, which is being manipulated against Israel by the Barbarians who are now at the gates, and their international allies.
