It’s extremely troubling to witness the current ascendancy of anti-Semitism in America, a nation that is supposedly founded on the First Amendment principles of freedom of religion and free speech. No people should be treated the way the Jews have been treated in the past few months, for decades really, in modern times, not even Muslims. And yet here we are witnessing Arab Muslims and their supporters, self-proclaimed “Hamas”, screaming for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people and America too.
Many will toss my own extreme prejudices against Islam back at me, but that’s just fine. I have no problem with individual Muslims who truly live peaceful lives as nominal Muslims and have fully integrated into our society, although I still must note that per their ideology, they are only peaceful until they’re not – until a fatwa goes out to activate them from some imam or mullah, which is why I have long been opposed to allowing anymore Muslims into the country. I would also note that Islam is less a true religion, with only 14% of the Koran having anything remotely close to resembling spiritual concerns and the rest aimed at how to deal with the infidels, Christians, Jews and other non-believers; it is an ideology driven by its supremacy clause and aimed at subjugating and taking all within its line of sight and reach.
Until such time Islam actually undergoes a reform much, as Christianity did in the 1500s, America must place a ban on all Muslim immigration – although, in light of our current open borders, any next conservative president that may eventually win office really must act to shut down all immigration, legal and illegal, for at least the next ten years. But suffice it to say, just as Islam has been the bane of all mankind, since its advent, so too are its current adherents a bane to American society and an evil that must not be allowed to grow any stronger.
Never in my life did I expect to live in a society that embraces, to a large degree, the very same policies implemented by Adolph Hitler that eventually led to WWII and the murder of six million Jews. These truly are sad and miserable days in America, and they represent some of the most dangerous times, not just for Jews, for individual liberty for all Americans that I’ve ever seen in my entire lifetime. ~ J.O.S.
Hamas Protestors Subvert America’s System
America’s Jewish population is currently being beset by some of the worst elements of the population, on the campuses and in the streets of most of America, especially in the deep blue Democrat Party cities and regions where the Islamic fascists and the communists have formed an alliance against traditional America and her fundamental founding principles and Israel too. The attacks we witness on the Jews of America are an attack on America’s classical liberalism and conservatism, intended to disrupt our society, weaken our institutions, strengthen our enemies-from-within and subvert our system from top to bottom, while foreign entities fund them and cheer them on.
After the Islamic terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 2001, America didn’t see hardly any such animus against American Muslims, certainly not any that reaches the level of this current hate and anger being directed at America’s Jews, simply because Israel dared to mount a fierce counterattack on Hamas terrorists in Gaza, whose own “innocent civilians” far too often are anything but “innocent” as they aid and abet Hamas every step of the way, far less innocent than say the truly innocent civilians of Dresden or Nagasaki.
The Arab Muslims/”palestinians” of Gaza overwhelmingly support Hamas and its agenda of murdering so many Jews in Israel that the rest will leave Israel so the Arab Muslims can secure the entire area for themselves, for Islam, as any straggling Jews are reduced to dhimmitude, a slave-like second-class citizenship temporarily allowed for non-Muslims under Sharia law.
Who would have ever thought we’d hear anyone in America screaming “We are Hamas – Long live Hamas” in New York, as reported at Fox News [April 19th 2024]. And yet here we are witnessing the worst anti-Semitic movement, the worst anti-Jew hatred since the WWII era Jew hatred of the Germans and the Holocaust, the murder of over six million Jews. Here we are some seventy-nine years after one of the most miserable periods in humankind, when millions, perhaps billions, of people had vowed “Never Again” would we allow for such evil to rise again – and evil is rising again, rearing its ugly anti-Jewish head.
Itamar Kubovy gives a fascinating story of his own experience growing up in America in a January 2024 article, and an explanation of sorts on what “Never Again” meant to his family:
“To my family, “never again” was self-recriminating for not having been able to imagine the horror of the Holocaust before it happened, for misjudging how long we had before we could no longer escape. We were suckered into our own genocide, and we were never able to forgive ourselves for it. Shame on us for believing that the administrative, financial and judicial systems of society we helped build and manage would protect us.”
It’s easy to see the depth of the organization behind the current anti-Jew, anti-Israel protests, since they were already underway immediately in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7th 2023 murderous attack on innocent Jews in Israel. The seed of protest erupted in Columbia University in New York and quickly spread to all the major cities and universities, with ready to go professionally made signs and props denouncing Israel and blaming Israel for making Hamas attack them, which is a ludicrous crock of shit, when one understand Israel had long left Gaza and the “palestinians” [Arab Muslims] in peace and to their own devices to thrive, prosper or fail as the chose.
Forty-five years ago, most of America was incensed and worried for fifty-three Americans who were held hostage, but hardly any American today seems remotely aware that the Hamas terrorists currently hold five American hostages in Gaza, if they are even alive. For the most part, the anti-Israel propaganda machine has done its job and put the focus on Israel’s right and proper defense after seeing Hamas murder 1500 of its innocent civilians, for no other reason than they existed and were an affront to Hamas and all Islam, and the false allegation of “a genocide” has been spread across the globe as fast as wildfire. How dare these dirty Jews defend themselves and not stand still while we [Hamas] hack them to death, shoot them or bake them alive in ovens and rape them and their daughters.
These “pro-Hamas” protestors don’t see anything wrong with murdering Jewish women, children and babies, but they scream “bloody-murder” when the tables are turned and hardened Hamas terrorists are targeted, located and killed by the Israel Defense Force.
Israel’s Defense Forces are taking great care not to do anything that comes anywhere close to what could be described as “genocide” through an abundance of measured caution and surgical strikes against Hamas. To date, if Israel’s critics and enemies were honest, if these protestors were honest, they would readily acknowledge the fact that Israel has killed far fewer Arab Muslims/”palestinians” as a percentage of combat casualties than the U.S. did during WWII, Korea, Vietnam or our most recent Middle East wars.
It’s quite telling that none of these “protestors”, these “students” – who are often not students but outside agitators from all points of the country – are making any demands for Hamas to halt its violence against Israel or surrender and release its hostages. All their fury is directed at Israel and none at Hamas and its palestinian soldiers who started this war by way of an unimaginable and horrific act of mass slaughter and rape, as Hamas continues to take hostages and hide behind its own civilian population, refusing every ceasefire offer along the way.
These keffiyeh garbed “students” loudly and proudly proclaim “We are Hamas … Death to America! Death to Israel! … We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground. … From the river to the sea, palestine will be free … Go back to Poland … Long live the Intifada.” These are one segment of America’s enemies-from-within who wave Hamas flags, while they threaten and attack any Jew who dares to inadvertently cross their path on the way to work or class, while they regularly deface or burn the American flag, along with the Israeli flag too.
On April 21st, Bari Weiss, a journalist for The Free Press, wrote:
“For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted: ‘Go back to Africa’. Or imagine that a gay student was surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit with a stick at Yale University. Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they ought to head home for Ramadan because campus public safety could not guarantee their security. There would be relentless fury from our media and condemnation from our politicians.”
These raghead Arab Muslims are cut from the same cloth as America’s past Ku Klux Klan members and reminiscent of those young men who marched through Charlottesville, Virginia chanting “Jews will not replace us“, every bit as evil, vile and vulgar. [Oh, we’re being replaced alright — just not by the Jews]
Instead, the Biden regime and the Democrat Party Commies are doing a lot of handwringing and the media has largely been silent. Thank God, thousands of supporters of America’s Jewish population and Israel finally came out enmasse in New York City on April 25th to provide the reasoned response to the anti-Jew hatred we have witnessed to date.
Sure, they have a First Amendment right to say whatever they wish and to protest, but that right doesn’t extend to shutting down society’s normal functions and impeding people’s right to move freely and safely from all points of the country or their campus. Their right to free speech doesn’t include encircling Jewish students to prevent them from reaching class and assaulting them in a multitude of ways we have recently witnessed.
They say “We are Hamas”, in essence claiming the title of terrorist, and it takes on a deeper significance when we see them disrupting our entire society and threatening Jews with “you’re next” as they allude to October 7th or actually assaulting young Jewish American students simply trying to move across campus to their next class. How can this have proceeded for as long as it has, in America, a nation with the Bill of Rights that has long held no one has any right to violate the rights of another.
Make no mistake. These so-called “students” are cut from the same far left cloth as Black Lives Matter and Antifa; they are simply one more segment of the Democrat Party Communists’ shock troops, with a taste for violence and no interest in persuasion or reasoned discourse, who also happen to have deep ties to foreign Islamic fascist terror supporting entities. If their movement is not soon effectively countered and neutered, they won’t stop with just cowing Jews and forcing them into submission. They will be coming after Christians and those fugly little LGBTQ types who are currently protesting alongside them waving their “palestinian” flags.
These protests have nothing to do with “genocide” in Gaza, as one can readily see they have been in planning for many years and are focused on totally eradicating Isarel and hamstringing America’s foreign policy regarding Israel. Biden has shown himself to be weak and ambiguous in support for Israel as he has basically threatened to abandon Israel over its vigorous defense and its mission to once and for all eradicate the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza, and he even engaged in moral relativism, as he suggested on April 22nd that there was something wrong with opposing Hamas’s own genocidal tendencies.
Biden stated:
“I condemn the anti-Semitic protests. That’s why I’ve set up a program to deal with that. I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the palestinians.”
Oh, we understand, Joe. We understand all to well what the deal is. It’s you and your regime’s Islamophiles who don’t seem to understand, or perhaps, behind closed doors, you do but really don’t care.
Many of us understand that a certain level of anti-Semitic attitudes have always been with us in America, even from her beginnings. And tho’ we may expect to see it to some small degree. much of America was appalled to see millions of people in America and around the world, gather under the Hamas terrorist banner in our streets to call for the elimination of the sovereign Jewish state of Israel and the Jews themselves. Not only is this a move to destroy Israel and its power but it is an action designed to diminish the United States’ power, in every Middle Eastern arena, especially as it relates to Iran and its own push towards nuclear arms and supremacy across the region. As bad as Biden’s precipitous, hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan harmed U.S. power, his ambiguity and inability to properly address these Hamas domestic terrorists will prove to be worse, if his regime doesn’t soon get a handle on it and shut them down immediately.
All of this is the direct result of the 1965 Immigration Act and numerous other multiculturalist driven Marxist-Maoist programs that, along with some $45 billion dollars in federal grants to universities and giving preference given to Muslims, over ten million strong in America today. We also hear by way of the Network Contagion Research Institute, in November 2023, that U.S. universities and colleges have received approximately $13 billion in secret funds from foreign governments, most of which are authoritarian regimes, such as Qatar, which currently gives sanctuary to Hamas’s terrorist leaders, and Saudia Arabia and China too. There appears to be a correlation between universities that receive money from Islamic Middle eastern regimes and the recent increase in levels of violence aimed at Jews on college campuses and elsewhere in the country.
The unhinged, rabid raging of these Hamas “students” didn’t just spring up overnight. Hamas supporters in America are the result of a long process of indoctrination through our leftist high schools and universities that have hired “educators” with a strong bias in favor of Islamic supremacy and the mythological “palestinian people” nowhere to be found in the annals of history, educators linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, such as Hatem Bazian, a professor at U.C. Berkley. At the heart of this indoctrination, one will also find the American Muslims for Palestine, Students for Justice in Palestine and the Muslim Student Association, all tied to the Muslim Brotherhood in one fashion or another, a fact and no conspiracy here.
Noted in The City Journal in November 2023:
[This] represents just one example of a much larger phenomenon of Brotherhood-linked academics, as documented by groups such as the Clarion Project. Among the most prominent of these is San Franciso State University professor Rabab Abdulhadi. One of the co-founders of the General Union of Palestinian Students in the U.S., Abdulhadiu has repeatedly hosted convicted Palestinian terrorists at her academic events, even organizing a conference in Lebanon, where she spoke side by side with them.”
As an aside, keffiyeh head-garb in the streets of New York, Chicago, San Francisco and many other cities and these Hamas infiltrators’ chants of “Death to America” and violence against peaceful Jewish Americans demands that these anti-American radicals be deported, if they are not U.S. citizens or here on student visas. We can ill-afford to continue down this destructive multiculturalist path, refusing to make legal immigrants or long-term legal residents to fully assimilate and integrate into American culture, since it ends with the ultimate death of America. It may be too late already, but it precisely highlights the reason all sane Americans must demand a ten-year moratorium on all immigration, whether legal or illegal, at the minimum, and stop allowing people from the Middle East into America, since they hold to ideas and doctrines that are totally antithetical to America’s founding principles.
I have yet to hear any America Jew say “Death to America” or support a plan to supplant the U.S. Constitution in the manner of far too many American Muslims who don’t mind saying that Islam is in America to conquer America and that Sharia Law will rule our land one day. Even the top leaders of the Council on American and Islamic Relations have regularly repeated this mantra, since at least 1996. And as we all recall the scores of Islamic terror attacks committed on U.S. soil between 2001 and 2019, from the World Trade Center to Boston and on to Chatanooga, we must ask ourselves when have any American Jews committed so heinous an act against any other American.
But an incredible movement of anti-Jew and anti-Israel propaganda has been ascending and rising to its current fever pitch, seeking to blame the Jews for all of the Arab Muslims problems, as well as blaming them for America’s current miserable state, much as the world witnessed occur in 1938 Germany with Adolph Hitler’s rise to power. Lie upon lies are generated by the anti-Jew radicals who erroneously suggest that Jews control U.S. banks and the U.S. by default, in order to give some conspiratorial reason for U.S. support of Israel, the allegation of secret cabals obtaining power by nefarious means and giving way to today’s protestors suggesting they’re being shutdown, because of the Zionist control of America’s media.
If America’s Jews have risen to some level above the average gentile American, in our institutions, politics and society, due to having studied a bit harder and worked a bit harder to achieve their success, it hasn’t been due to any great conspiracy but rather them taking the fullest advantage of all the wonderful opportunities available to all Americans. Their success serves as a testament to living in a country where racist stereotypes and blood-and-soil nationalism hasn’t ruled our society, for decades now. And it’s a sad statement on our development as a nation that since the Obama era and the advent and ascendancy of the new “progressive” Marxist-Maoist Democrat Party, we are seeing a return to the embrace of ancient stereotypes.
Before the turn of the century, American Ashkenazi Jews were largely represented in three primary groups. A few were those who arrived in the 19th century from Germany and became extremely successful after fully assimilating into American society. There were nearly three million more who arrived between 1881 and 1924, fleeing antisemitism in Eastern Europe only to face it again as new immigrants to the U.S.; it compelled them to retain a strong Jewish identity even after several generations and support the idea of the sovereign Jewish nation of Israel. The third group consisted of the lucky few who escaped Germany and Europe before Hitler rose to power, separated from their large families who held too fast for too long to their old-world values and paid the price. Many of their ancestors grew to adulthood with a sense of shame that their ancestors had trusted too much and found their trust misplaced and sorely abused, too often resulting in their murders by those who had lost their humanity and their very souls.
And now, Jews are essentially being told that they shouldn’t fully exercise their rights as U.S. citizens for fear of enraging the Hamas protestors further, instead of taking strong measures against these radical, violent extremists to make them cease and desist the targeting of American Jews or anyone else who opposes their disingenuous, fallacious anti-American, anti-Israel propaganda agenda, which is only serving to disrupt all America. “We are Hamas” protestors have shut down normal business on campuses and damaged local economies through roadblocks on major thruways, such as the Goldengate Bridge, as well as blocking access to airports, and in the meantime, Jews are told to hide who they are and not advertise any upcoming events for Jews, because various universities’ security teams are insufficiently equipped to handle the current upheaval and local police either cannot or will not assure the Jewish population that they can travel freely and safely anywhere they wish to go, or at least as safely as any other American during these tumultuous times.
If Jews can’t feel safe in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, every American’s safety is put at risk. If Jewish peoples’ rights as U.S. citizens can so easily be infringed, so too can all Americans rights be infringed and squashed, just as we’ve already witnessed in so many other instances over the past decade that had nothing to do with Israel but everything to do with the Democrat Party Communists’ agenda to fundamentally transform America into an authoritarian socialist system where all rights are considered privileges to be dispensed at the government’s leisure.
Take all this under consideration, as one looks a 2007 PEW study where one out of four – that’s 25% – of young U.S. Muslims stated that suicide bombings were acceptable in defense of Islam and other Muslims, and things get real interesting for us all.
Many of us don’t see these Hamas students as protestors. They’re more like sleeper cells waiting for a signal to attack, and it’s only a matter of time, with our wide-open borders and hundreds of known terrorists seen crossing our southern border, before our nation once again starts experiencing one terrorist attack after another. This is a crime wave and we are certain to get hit by more Islamic-inspired terror attacks before long. The Biden regime has incentivized this catastrophic situation, endangered all Americans in the process, since there is virtually no real scrutiny or vetting of these “new immigrants”, refugees and illegal alien invaders, and the current inability or lack of desire from so-called patriotic Americans to stop this is allowing for the destruction of America.
This is the reason we created water-cannons, police departments and even the National Guard. We must not continue to allow this lawlessness, that is far outside the boundaries of normal “protest” and we must restore some semblance of order to our campuses and inner-city areas. There must also be severe consequences for these Hamas terrorists who have infiltrated our country, severe enough to make them wish to avoid a repeat. Quell these radicals who are beating up citizens, Jewish and others, and take back control over our refugee programs from the anti-American United Nations, which in large part has facilitated this monster by sending us these Middle Eastern culls, who have little to no understanding or knowledge and experience in our own culture, Christian and Western principles and the basis for our individual liberty under the U.S. Constitution, as they use our freedoms and our Constitution as a means to effect America’s ultimate destruction.
There must be consequences to our enemies-from-within as well as those enemies-from-abroad who are working hand in hand to break America and see Her eventually sorely defeated, but all too sadly, at a time when we need a lion in the White House, America has a weak, feckless anti-American sheep, all too willing to bow and genuflect to our enemies.
