They demanded that Biden commit to only selecting a woman of color as VP, which he did, and now when somebody mentions that Kamala Harris was chosen because she is a woman of color, they claim racism. pic.twitter.com/vGafcjk94X

“The idea that terrorists attack because they hate freedom, however, is misguided,” Philip Gordon wrote in ‘Winning the Right War’. “Even most of the Muslims who support terrorism and trust Osama bin Laden favor elected government” and “personal liberty.”
Gordon, Obama’s Middle East coordinator, explained in his book that Muslim terrorists weren’t “born evil” or “hate our freedoms”, but rather they feel “shame” over the state of “a once great Islamic civilization” surpassed by other cultures including “the local upstart, Israel.”
America was “creating conditions” that “generate” Islamic terrorism by detaining Al Qaeda terrorists, failing to punish American soldiers, and “justifying any Israeli military action”.
Gordon urged the White House to assure Iran that we have “no intention of using military force against Iran or fomenting internal dissent” because “Iran’s concerns about such issues are legitimate”
Published in 2007 by an imprint of the New York Times, Gordon’s book was a blueprint of the policies that the Obama administration would adopt, including blaming America and Israel, appeasing Iran and Islamists, and making Muslims feel better about themselves.
These are the building blocks of the policies that led us to Oct 7 and an Iranian war across the region.
Today, Gordon is Kamala’s National Security Advisor and possible future Secretary of State.
Gordon’s hostility toward Israel and sympathy for Islamic terrorists is a longstanding matter.

The Jewish National Fund (JNF) faces the potential loss of its charitable status in Canada due to concerns raised by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regarding the organization’s support for military infrastructure in Israel, The National Post reported on Thursday. JNF is contesting this decision through legal channels.
Nathan Disenhouse, JNF Canada’s National President, issued a statement on Thursday saying, “The Jewish National Fund of Canada has launched legal proceedings in the Federal Court of Appeal to contest the CRA’s wrong and unjustified decision to revoke JNF Canada’s charitable status. The appeal states that the CRA review process was flawed and fundamentally unfair.”
Canadian law generally recognizes charitable activities conducted abroad as it does those within its borders. However, judicial rulings have established that certain domestically charitable actions may lose this status when performed internationally. A notable example is providing support to foreign armed forces. The Canadian government emphasizes that charities must exercise caution when transferring equipment, supplies, or funds overseas to ensure they do not end up in the hands of military organizations in other countries.
JNF’s own literature describes its donations as paying for “the new planned IDF Training Base City in the Negev,” “helping the development of the Bat Galim training base complex area,” “helping to facilitate the upgrade of the existing auditorium for soldier intake, training and conferences,” “building a club for the 124th (Blackhawk) Helicopter Squadron at Palmachim Air Force Base,” and “a similar facility for 131st Squadron at Nevatim Air Force Base.”
The media seems to be rewriting history in an effort to bolster Kamala Harris’s campaign. Here are just five major hoaxes launched by various media outlets in just the past week:
5. CBS Claims Trump Lied About Harris’s Donations to Minnesota Freedom Fund
CBS recently claimed that former President Trump was lying when he said Kamala Harris donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which bailed out “dangerous criminals” during the George Floyd riots. However, Harris did promote the fund on X (formerly Twitter) and encouraged people to donate. The claim that she had no involvement is misleading at best.
4. President Biden “Dropped Out” to Save Democracy
A narrative emerged suggesting that President Biden voluntarily stepped down to save democracy. In reality, sources indicate that Biden was forcibly removed by top Democrats who reportedly made threats after he insisted he wasn’t going anywhere. This paints a very different picture from the noble sacrifice being portrayed.
3. JD Vance and the Couch Cushion Scandal
A bizarre and baseless claim surfaced that JD Vance had sexual relations with a couch cushion. Although the Associated Press fact-checked this claim and found it false, they later removed the fact-check, citing that it “didn’t go through our standing editing process.” This retraction raises questions about their fact-checking integrity.
2. Kamala Harris Was Not a DEI Pick for Vice President
Despite President Biden’s clear statements in 2020 that he was selecting his Vice President based on gender and skin color, there is now a media push to deny that Kamala Harris was a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) pick. Biden’s own words confirm that Harris was indeed chosen based on these criteria.
1. Kamala Harris Was Never the Border Czar
Perhaps the most audacious of all is the recent attempt to erase the fact that Kamala Harris was designated as the Border Czar. Media outlets have been scrubbing their own reports since 2021 that placed Harris in charge of the border crisis. This blatant historical revisionism is a clear attempt to distance her from the controversial role.
A poll published on Channel 12 News on Friday evening found that the majority of the Israeli public believes that Benjamin Netanyahu is the most suitable person for the position of Prime Minister, with Netanyahu prevailing over Yair Lapid, Benny Gantz and Naftali Bennett.
When compared to opposition leader Lapid, the poll found that 36% of respondents prefer Netanyahu as Prime Minister, compared to 28% for Lapid. When put up against National Unity Party chairman Benny Gantz, Netanyahu wins 32% of support, compared to 28% for Gantz on the question of suitability for the role of Prime Minister. In addition, the poll found that Netanyahu is also preferred over former Prime Minister Bennett, with 33% saying Netanyahu is best suited for Prime Minister, compared to 32% for Bennett.
The respondents were asked which issue is more important: The return of the hostages or the continuation of the war in Gaza until "total victory" is achieved. 62% voted that the return of the hostages was more important, while 29% responded that the continuation of the war is more important. 9% answered that they do not know.
The respondents were also asked about their feelings in the wake of the Prime Minister's speech to US Congress: 38% responded that they felt proud, 27% felt disappointment and 18% were divided between the two options.
When the respondents were asked whether their opinion of Prime Minister Netanyahu changed following the speech, 65% answered in the negative, while 30% answered in the affirmative, of which 15% said they changed their opinion for the better, and 15% for the worse.

Magen David Adom has reported that of the injured, six are in serious condition, three are in moderate condition, and ten suffered light injuries and shock.
The soccer field is located near a park, and among the injured and killed are children and teens, ages 10-20 years old.
Initial investigations by the IDF show that the aerial defense system had difficulty intercepting the rocket. The incident is under investigation.
MDA Senior EMT Idan Avshalom, who arrived in the initial minutes, described: "I left a nearby kibbutz and arrived at the scene within a few minutes. I saw a large commotion on the soccer field, with severe scenes of casualties and fatalities, destruction, and burning objects. We conducted an initial triage of the victims, and large MDA forces arrived immediately to direct the injured to 3 local clinics."
MDA paramedics Orly Ben Simon and Omri Hochman reported: "When we arrived in the town, we were directed to 3 local clinics where the injured were being sent. We assisted the medical teams, stabilized the patients, and transported the injured to hospitals and helicopters that landed nearby."
MDA paramedic Faiz Mahmoud, a local resident who came to assist the injured, said: "I immediately went to one of the clinics where the injured were brought and saw a large commotion of people. At the same time, large MDA ambulance teams began arriving at the scene. The clinic was full of casualties, including the dead and seriously injured. We were given patients and immediately took them to join the helicopters that had landed nearby."
Ali Tarbia and Farhat Kasseff, United Hatzalah EMTs, recalled: "When we arrived at the soccer field, we encountered a very difficult scene where dozens of children were lying injured on the ground. Together with other United Hatzalah volunteers, we provided them with initial treatment. On two of the victims, we performed CPR together with other medical teams. Nine of the victims were declared dead at the scene due to the severe injuries they sustained."
Following the sirens in Majdal Shamas, the IDF reported: "A short while ago, sirens sounded in the area of Majdal Shams. One projectile was identified crossing from Lebanon toward the area. A hit was identified in the area. Injuries were reported. The IDF, in cooperation with the MDA, are at the scene, evacuating those injured."
"Following the sirens that sounded at 17:24 in the area of northern Israel, approximately 30 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted numerous projectiles and the rest fell in open areas. No injuries were reported."
The IDF later added: "The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, the Commanding Officer of the Northern Command, the Head of the Operations Directorate, the Commanding Officer of the IAF, and other members of the General Staff Forum, are currently conducting a situational assessment following the recent missile launches at Majdal Shams and other areas of northern Israel."\
"It is important to note that the projectile launched at Majdal Shams was a rocket, not a suspicious aerial target."
Meanwhile, Hezbollah has denied any connection to the incident.
However, the IDF reported that, "According to an IDF situational assessment and the intelligence in our possession, the rocket launch toward Majdal Shams was carried out by the Hezbollah terrorist organization."
"The Hezbollah terrorist organization is behind the rocket launch at a soccer field in Majdal Shams which caused multiple civilian casualties, including children, earlier this evening."
The Commanding Officer of the 210th Divison, BG Yair Peli, is currently holding a situational assessment at the operations center in Majdal Shams, along with the commander of the Home Front Center in the Northern Command and additional commanders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was updated earlier Saturday on the details of the incident in Majdal Shams.
The Prime Minister is currently holding an additional security consultation with his Military Secretary, Maj.-Gen. Roman Gofman, and will hold a security assessment later with all heads of the security establishment.
Immediately upon learning of the disaster, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed that his return to Israel be brought forward as quickly as possible.
