Meet the Iranian-born Biden military aide reportedly under investigation for major influence campaign: ‘Clear and present danger’  

By Miranda Devine, NEW YORK POST   22 Nov 2023

Ariane Tabatabai, who currently sits in the Pentagon with a high-level security clearance, is reportedly under investigation over an Iranian influence operation.

In the wake of terrorist fears over the car explosion at a US-Canada border control checkpoint Wednesday, the Biden administration’s inexplicable complacency about national security threats must end.

The Reasonableness of the European Right  

Far-right fast becoming the mainstream in European politics as Gaza and Ukraine wars shift continental sentiments

By David P Goldman, ASIA TIMES  25 Nov 2023

Geert Wilders’ surprise victory in last week’s Dutch elections portends an upheaval in European politics long in the offing, but provoked by two pressing events.

The first is the mass demonstrations in support of Hamas by Muslim migrants after October 7, a triumphalist assertion of power by a minority that believes that it may become the future majority.

This cast a harsh light on uncontrolled mass immigration, now Europe’s top political issue. The failure of the mainstream parties to address the continent’s most pressing problem opens a path to power for an opposition that only months ago was dismissed as a political fringe element.

The Intelligence Failure of October 7 – Roots and Lessons  

T. Belman. At its core is the belief that peace is possible rather than the belief that there will never be peace. The left has long believed that what is necessary is to improve the living standards of the “Palestinians” in order to acheive peace. This a fantasy, not reality. There will never be peace.

This battle is ideological. Rather than build their hope, we should destroy there hope.

Hamas’ sudden attack on the kibbutzim and the towns neighboring the Gaza Strip caught the IDF and the country by total surprise. During the first 24 hours, beginning at 6:30 in the morning of October 7, the Hamas Nukhba (name of the commando troops, means “elite”) and those who came in with them conquered and held an area of about 4-5 kilometers depth inside Israel, and in places penetrated well beyond that. The lack of any forewarning accounted also for the confused and disorganized, albeit often individually heroic, actions of the military and the police throughout the day.

Thirty Years Ago Israel Deported Hamas. Clinton Made Israel Take It Back  

By Daniel Greenfield, 26 Nov 12:21 AM

“Deporting The Hope For Peace?” Newsweek asked. The hope for peace was Hamas.

The year was 1992. The Clinton administration was trying to get Israeli Prime Minister Rabin and the PLO’s Yasser Arafat to sign on the dotted line of the Oslo Accords to create a terror state inside Israel. In the name of peace. Unfortunately Hamas kept killing Israelis.

15-year-old Helena Rapp had been stabbed to death at a bus stop on the way to school. A few days later, Rabbi Shimon Biran, a father of four, was similarly murdered by an Islamic terrorist.

Wilders “Jordan Is Palestine”  

T. Belman. Wilders is right. “Jordan is Palestine” or soon will be.

Wilders often reiterated the idea that Jordan is Palestine, suggesting that the conflict between Palestinians and Israel could be resolved through the dislocation of Palestinian people to Jordan.

That’s the Jordan Option.

Channel 12 News reports that the attack was originally planned for last Passover Eve, but the IDF detected signs of the attack and raised its alert level to the point that Hamas cancelled the attack.

Hamas was concerned that the IDF had succeeded in infiltrating the command structure and ranks of their organization and worried about the plan leaking out.

The Implosion of the Democrat Party  

By Ray DiLorenzo, SUA

Democrat Bizarro World

“The survival of democracy depends on a Democratic presidential victory in 2024, and no one else has stepped up to carry the burden.”
F. Wilkinson, Bloomberg

The quote from Mr. Wilkinson is nonsense, of course. Democrats have been hawking that slogan for years, reliant on your ignorance to apply any meaning.  They live in a bizarro world.  Everything is opposite. If they say they are fighting for democracy, they are fighting to destroy it.  If they say the border is closed, it is open—wide open. If they say they are transparent, they are anything but.  Even their name is a misnomer.  It is the strategy of the lie—the goal of every dictator, communist, fascist, or anarchist.  Repeat the lie often enough, and someone will believe it.

America shouldn’t let Hamas bargain its way to victory  

T. Belman.  Tobin at his best.

Israel had no choice but to accept a deal to release some hostages. But Washington shouldn’t pressure Jerusalem to let the terrorists run out the clock on a just war.

Israel’s government knew that it had no choice but to accept the deal it was offered in which some of the hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7 would be freed in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and a temporary ceasefire in the war to eliminate the terrorist group from the Gaza Strip. Pressure from the families of the hostages and a Jewish tradition that prioritizes the redemption of captives swamped all of the objections to giving Hamas what it wanted in exchange for the lives of Jewish women and children.

Did Israel’s Netanyahu agree to a ceasefire & hostage deal under pressure?  

Peloni:  It seems that Wion has hired a Pal activist to play journalist in what was probably one of the most outrageous airings I have seen on this network.  Most of his questions were actually raised while talking over Glick, even as she was still responding to his previous questions which were highly prejudicial mischaracterizations of the truth.  It is concerning that Wion would conduct itself so poorly as this.
