The evidence is in their own poorly fabricated figures
ABRAHAM WYNER, TABLET MARCH 07, 2024
The number of civilian casualties in Gaza has been at the center of international attention since the start of the war. The main source for the data has been the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, which now claims more than 30,000 dead, the majority of which it says are children and women. Recently, the Biden administration lent legitimacy to Hamas’ figure. When asked at a House Armed Services Committee hearing last week how many Palestinian women and children have been killed since Oct. 7, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the number was “over 25,000.” The Pentagon quickly clarified that the secretary “was citing an estimate from the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry.”

Dressed in all their ethnic finery, two heroic, religious, anti-Islamist Muslim women—Anila Ali from Pakistan and Soraya Deen from Sri Lanka—came to see me. They are beautiful women. Anila is a teacher and a community leader. Soraya is a lawyer. Both describe themselves as Muslim philanthropists. They met in 2011 while doing interfaith work in the United States.

Caroline Glick speaks with the Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute John Spencer about, in his analysis, the wrongful comparisons between the Israel/Gaza war and other urban warfare conflicts. Spencer first made waves when he posited in several Newsweek articles that the civilian casualty number is actually quite low, that Israel was in full compliance with international law and that any comparison to urban warfare in Afghanistan and Iraq is entirely incorrect. Spencer breaks down his arguments and explains that despite what the international community thinks Israel is actually winning the war “spectacularly”.

Joe Biden has claimed that his opponents are assaulting democracy based on the January 6, 2020, buffoonish riot.
Aside from the fact that storming the Capitol Rotunda sometimes is apparently deemed permissible—as in the recent pro-Hamas takeover of it—or aside from the fact that disrupting a federal government proceeding is deemed exempt—as in the recent pro-Hamas throng that blocked the route of the presidential motorcade and thus delayed the State of the Union address to the nation by 26 minutes—who really is attacking democracy?
Socialists face setbacks across the globe, and Joe Biden could be next.
By John Mac Ghlionn, AMERICAN MIND 13 March 2024
For the past eight years, the Socialist Party ruled Portugal. On Sunday, however, that run ended when the center-right Democratic Alliance won the country’s general election. Portuguese citizens, fed up with years of hyper-progressive politics and criminally bad policies, are following other European peoples in turning to a conservative alternative. Read more…
E. Rowell: This article explores the theme of living in a culture in which the stranglehold of totalitarianism is being experienced by people who seek only the truth. In the process of exploring this, Barr mentions the idea that many in the UK think a movie about the Holocaust is a movie about Gaza. The idea that Gazans are experiencing genocide when it is exactly the opposite; they are the committers of genocide, is shocking and disturbing. When the truth can be turned on its head and lies viewed as the truth, society has been completely corrupted and infested with evil, just as it was in Nazi Germany.
By Andrew Barr, STIFF NECKED 13 March 2024
I’ve resisted writing before now about Jonathan Glazer’s brilliant and disturbing Holocaust film ‘The Zone of Interest’ because I thought its meaning was obvious. It’s about the daily lives of Rudolf Höss, the commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp, and his wife Hedwig. They live immediately next to the camp; the dividing wall is ever-present in the film. So are the sounds of the camp. But we don’t see what happens in the camp, because the Hösses ignore it and go on with their daily lives as though it were perfectly normal to have torture and mass murder taking place a few yards away from one’s home. The film carries an obvious message about the self-serving bourgeoisie caring only about the mundane details of their own lives and ignoring the horrors immediately on the other side of the wall.
More than 450 sites belonging to elite Radwan force targeted; terror group vows to hit Israel ‘the same and stronger’ after airstrikes target 2 command centers in northeast Lebanon

Israel has hit more than 4,500 Hezbollah targets since the start of the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, the IDF said on Tuesday after some 100 rockets were fired from Lebanon by the Iran-backed terror group earlier in the day.
According to the IDF’s estimates, more than 300 Hezbollah operatives have been killed, including five senior commanders, and 750 have been wounded by Israeli strikes across five months of daily skirmishes along the border.

It seems that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is feuding with another American president. That’s what the White House and its corporate-media echo chamber cheerleaders at publications at The New York Times and broadcast outlets like MSNBC would like you to believe. As was the case during the administrations of Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Netanyahu has become the foreign leader mostly likely to be bashed by President Joe Biden and his foreign-policy team. They see him as an obstacle to the policies they wish to pursue, as well as a political problem heading towards the November election.

One of these days, Israel is going to launch a massive information campaign urging the civilians now located in Rafah to save their lives by following Israeli evacuation instructions.
Simple and straightforward instructions to evacuate to special areas a shortwalk away from Rafah.

PHILADELPHIA – March 12, 2024 – The story began when London-based Iranian oppositionist Vahid Beheshti traveled on January 2, 2024, to Jerusalem. There, as guest of the Middle East Forum (MEF), he appealed to the Knesset Israel Victory Caucus. “Help us overthrow [Iran’s] government” and “Try to imagine what the Middle East would look like without the Iranian government – just imagine.”
He ignores that the Jewish state can’t defeat Hamas without taking Rafah.

President Biden likes to say that no President has been a better friend to Israel, but of late he doesn’t sound like it. He beat up Israel’s leaders in his State of the Union speech, criticized its war strategy in Gaza with regularity, and on the weekend called Israel’s plans to clear Hamas from its last stronghold in the city of Rafah a “red line” that Israel shouldn’t cross.
But I have a Way for Trump to Turn Covid Vaccines into Biggest Win-Win of All-Time
By Wayne Allyn Root, GATEWAY 12 MARCH 2024
Alex Jones just warned President Trump to stop praising the Covid vaccine, after the latest Trump post at TruthSocial over the weekend.
And I agree that Trump praising the Covid vaccine is a big mistake. For a guy who always wins, and loves to negotiate “win-win” deals, President Trump needs to understand the Covid vaccine is the world’s biggest “lose-lose.”
Peloni: So instead of Biden getting the upheaval he wanted in Bibi’s Right wing govt, it appears that it is instead Gantz’ party which is splitting. This is a sizeable defeat for Gantz, coming just after his outrageous act of insubordination from which Saar specifically distanced himself. It is also an attempt by Saar to find a way back to the Right in hopes that he will not be left out in the cold in the next election. Notably, it would appear that Saar is not too strongly persuaded by the inexplicable polling which has suggested that Gantz and his colleagues on the Left will dominate in that election.

Europe OKs banning the practice of Judaism

Antisemitism, or more bluntly hatred of Jews and Judaism, takes many forms. We saw one on Oct. 7, 2023, when hundreds of Palestinians from Gaza slaughtered well over 1,000 Israelis.
We saw another form on Feb. 13, 2024, when the so-called European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that Belgium was entirely free to ban kosher slaughter.
E. Rowell: When I first heard of the US proposal to build a pier for humanitarian aid I thought it was an outrageous idea that treated Israel as if she were a vassal state, not a country with sovereign rights. I also thought it implied Israel was somehow blocking aid while instead Israel was making good efforts to come through with all the humanitarian aid necessary, even though this hampered the war effort severely. Yigal Carmon presents an entirely different and positive perspective that is worth considering.

The American initiative to build a temporary port off the coast of the Gaza Strip is no less than a miracle. It carries far more weight than the absolutely necessary supply of food and humanitarian aid to the population in Gaza.
It carries military, political, and strategic far-reaching implications and a potential roadmap to a peaceful end of the war, with a victory over Hamas and its sponsors, Qatar and Iran.
Would the Biden administration like to stop the war this week?

Former President Trump’s national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said it best when she told NBC News that the eventual GOP nominee “ did more for Israel than any American President in history.” So when the New York Times tried to criticize Mr. Trump for his apparent “hands off approach” in a front page story entitled “Trump Offers No Clear View On Gaza War” on Sunday, March 3rd, 2024 they could not be further from the truth.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss his response to criticism from the Biden administration on the war against Hamas and and the latest on the objectives in Gaza.
Peloni: A very important analysis which ends with the question of how will the American Jews react to the brazen attack which is being promulgated against the legitimate govt of Israel by the current regime in Washington.
Caroline Glick | JNS | March 11, 2024
The Biden administration goes on a full-on assault on Israel saying Netanyahu needs a “coming to Jesus” moment. announces a port that will deliver lots of aid into the hands of Hamas, and continues to work to overthrow the Israeli government.
