The West is proving that Islamist terrorism works

 

What would be the worst foreign policy message imaginable? There are many contenders, but the frontrunner has to be simply that “terrorism works”. Once this lesson has been learned, the door will be open to years of violence against us. It’s called appeasement, and history has taught us where it leads.

If you, like me, are concerned by the rise of Islamist extremism around the world, the danger it poses to Jewish communities everywhere, and the way it threatens both the firmness of liberal values and our national security, the inconstancy of Western support for Israel in its mission to destroy Hamas – including here in Britain – should fill you with dread. 

Most voters want our country to stand up for democracy, not capitulate to the terrorist forces rising to menace it in the most brutal manner imaginable. Why can’t our leaders express without equivocation that backing Israel in its fight to destroy Hamas completely was, and is, the right thing to do? Why do they stay silent, giving succor to our enemies

Instead, seven months on from October 7, Western politicians seem intent on pursuing what Ronald Reagan called the “utopian solution of peace without victory”. As he put it during the Cold War: “They call their policy ‘accommodation’ and they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he’ll forget his evil ways and learn to love us.” Of course, the opposite is true.

Nearly 1 Million Jews Live In NYC

New York City remains home to the largest Jewish population in the country, according to a new, wide-ranging survey — though its numbers may be declining somewhat, and Jewish identities are shifting. 

Close to a million Jews live in the five boroughs, with more than 400,000 more in Westchester and Long Island. 

The Orthodox population has remained steady while the number of unaffiliated Jews has spiked. More than a third of Jewish households make more than $150,000 per year — though more than 80% of Jewish children in poverty are haredi Orthodox. Almost half say they are liberal or very liberal — though most Orthodox Jews say they are politically conservative. 

The survey, published by the UJA-Federation of New York on Thursday, is the communal group’s first Jewish population survey since 2011. Taken in the first half of 2023 with a margin of error of 1.5%, the survey covers data ranging from Jews’ level of education to their ritual observance and household income in each of the five boroughs of New York City, as well as Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties. It did not measure attitudes toward Israel. 

“Over the past ten years, much has changed in how and where people live across the New York region,” the preface to the report says, noting the impact of the pandemic in particular. But the survey adds, “In 2023, connection to the Jewish community remains salient. Connection to being Jewish, to the Jewish future, and to the NY Jewish community are broadly important to Jewish adults,”

The survey found that New York City is home to 960,000 Jews, with 412,000 more in the three  suburban counties. Those numbers reflect a decline from 2011, when the survey counted 1.54 million Jews, including more than 1 million in the five boroughs. It’s also a slight decrease from surveys in 2002 and 1991, which each counted roughly 1.4 million Jews in the eight-county area. (The survey noted that the studies used different methodologies, making direct comparisons difficult.)

Aguda Finally Condemns Biden in a Public Letter

 

In a rare rebuke, Agudath Yisrael, which tends to avoid condemnation of highly-positioned politicians other than in extreme instances, slammed President Biden’s “unprecedented decision” to cease supplying certain arms to Israel.

In its scathing statement, the group said it is “deeply troubled by the White House’s unprecedented decision…especially amidst Israel’s multifront war against its mortal enemies.”

It added that some of the weapons being withheld are “exactly the tools an army needs to fight while limiting civilian casualties.”

And the Agudah accused the United States of “publicly creating a rift with Israel” and “endangering Israel and providing oxygen to antisemites worldwide.”

Rioters in Athens Try To Break into Hotel Where Some Israelis Are Staying

A mob of pro-Hamas demonstrators attempted to break into a hotel where Israeli tourists were staying in Athens, according to media reports and videos circulating on social media.

The anti-Israel protests against the war in Gaza escalated into riots, with some demonstrators attempting to breach the hotel premises.

Greek police were reportedly dispatched to the scene at Omonia Square, where they deployed gas grenades to disperse the crowd and restore order.

Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said there were no known Israeli casualties, i24 News reported.

The incident came after police had to use flash-bang grenades and other anti-riot tactics to prevent anti-Israel protesters from trying to breach the walls of the Egyptian embassy, according to the Foreign Desk news site.

Clashes had broken out between police and pro-Hamas demonstrators in Athens, the Greek capital, earlier on Tuesday, one day after Israel launched a military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, the Hamas terror group’s last stronghold in the Palestinian enclave.

More than 300 people rallied outside the parliament building in Athens, carrying Palestinian flags and banners reading “Hands off Rafah!”

The latest incident in Greece was reminiscent of a similar episode in Dagestan, a republic of Russia situated in the North Caucasus, in the weeks following Oct. 7. Large crowds in the city of Hasbiurt besieged a hotel where they claimed Israelis were staying.

The mob then raided the hotel and searched for Jews, according to reports. The group dispersed when none were found.

Parents of Pro-Hamas Protestors Back them 100% !!

 

Parents of George Washington University (GW) students spoke out on Wednesday afternoon about their frustrations following the police and protest clash on campus early that morning.

They called for the resignation of two top administrators: President of the University Ellen Granberg and Provost Christopher Bracey.

“[Granberg’s] giving false information to the parents who are not involved in this, telling them that all trials from the organization to talk to the students have failed. This is a big shameful lie,” said one parent. “Because she declined every time to talk to the students and that’s why we are asking for her resignation.”

Parents were joined by professors and faculty from other DMV universities, including American University and George Mason University. They said they stood in solidarity with the students and shared their frustration about how their kids and all the student protesters were treated

“The Ellen Granbergs of this world represent and support this genocide and are willing to trample the rights of their students in the name of allowing this genocide to continue,” said one American University faculty member who spoke during the press briefing. “We support the basic demands of our students. We support the parents demanding the resignation of Provost Bracey and President Granberg. We support the cause for free Palestine for disclosure divestment boycott and sanctions.”

Parents stressed their support for their kids and the pro-Palestinian protesters.

Israel Doesn't Need US "Target Missiles" We Can Use Israeli Missiles That Don't Specifically Target ... Bombs that are Not Precise!

 Israeli Knesset member Tally Gotliv responds to Joe Biden saying he will cut offensive military aid to Israel if it enters Rafah.

Listen to Biden ....A G-D Damned Liar!

The New Mayor of Beit Shemesh Seat is still Cold, and Chareidim Are Already Testing Him, Removing Israeli Flags

 

As I explained countless time on this blog, Beit Shemesh is divided into assorted "Ramas." One of them is Ramat Beit Shemesh Bet! This is where the Chareidie parasites live and only cause chaos and mayhem all day long 24/7! But that is their own neighborhood

Recently a new neighborhood is being developed called Ramat Dalet! This is actually the largest development in all of Beit Shemesh with the potential of housing over 100,000 residents. 

The "Bet Parasites" are trying to put a foothold there as well so they hire buses on a regular basis to bring them to Dalet for the sole purpose of intimidating the new development! Screaming "Shiksah" on every lady who has a sheitel on, and even defecating on a shul that is a threat to them. The shul is actually a chassidishe shul but whose worshippers are former "Bet" residents who wanted out of their sick and perverted upbringing and established a beautiful shul in Dalet! Last week they snuck into the shul and put human waste all over, and even the Aron Hakodash wasn't spared!

Well last night, they came in to remove the Israeli Flags! Let's see what the New Mayor will now do! Will he pass the test?
