Post Oct 7th Massacre and Kidnapping of Israelis by Hamas Terrorists

Since the Oct7th massacre in Israel, I find it disheartening to see people show more concern for children of Gaza than Jewish children held hostage by Hamas. The Israeli hostages are being abused, starved, burned, raped by Hamas terrorists.  They are neglected by the media and by the International Red Cross.  Checkout this article "timesofisrael.com/relative-of-freed-captives-say-hamas-branded-child-hostages-in-case-they-escaped. The Israeli Biba babies are still missing – a 9 month old and 2 yr old, whereabouts unknown. Posters of hostages ripped down or defaced by hateful Hamas supporters in our cities and on our college campuses.

It's so important to get your news from multiple perspectives and to recognize skewed and anti-Israel broadcasting, especially what remains unspoken.   When I turned on Channel 2 News, a few days after retaliatory strikes had begun against Hamas by the IDF, I shuttered when I heard the female broadcaster state that there were "heavy casualties on both sides".  There is no excuse for equating the unprovoked brutal slaughter of innocent Israelis, including women and children,  with the causalities of war in Gaza, which includes terrorists and are mostly overstated by Hamas.   

Conditions Leading Up to & Following Oct 7th - under Biden

Since Biden took office, the world has been in disarray:  Beginning with the disastrous debacle in Afghanistan.  The weapons we left behind, were used by Hamas in their recent Oct 7th massacre of Israeli civilians.  Biden, Blinken, & Sullivan resumed funding the Iranian Regime and removed all sanctions against them, enacted during Trump's administration.   After Oct7th, Instead of putting the focus on getting Hamas to surrender and release all the hostages, Biden is trying to control Israel – telling Bibi Netanyahu to cease fighting in Southern Gaza, and to allow the Palestinian Authority control.     Biden has done nothing to sanction COLLEGEs that promote pro-HAMAS rallies. Biden is not a true friend of the Jewish people or the Jewish State. 

Biden continues  endangering our own US citizens by keeping our Southern border wide open, welcoming Hamas terrorists into this country.  Trump had our border secured and the wall was almost completely built.   Biden is focused on appeasing the far-left Jew-haters in his Democratic Party jinsa.org/biden-and-co-funding-palestinian-terror/    

FIGHTING the FALSE NARRATIVES against the JEWISH STATE

Regarding the pro-Palesine rallies, theblaze.com/news/ron-desantis-israel-hamas-students-terrorism-visas, Ron DeSantis described them, "If you look at how they behave, not all of them are Hamas, but they are all anti-Semitic."   Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) called on the Biden administration to rescind visas of foreign nationals who support Hamas.  Biden has yet to respond.

In this video, "Ben Shapiro talks about Israel vs Hamas and why he would never support Biden over Trump",  highlights the ignorance of a pro-Palestinian Oxford Union College student. 

In this 11/26/23 CNN Interview ,  Naftali Bennett, former Israeli Prime Minister, responds to the question of a 2-state solution, "We gave them their own state, in 2005, when we pulled out of GAZA, with its beautiful beaches…. They turned it into HAMASTAN ….. a terror state. Who wants to live next to a Nazi state?"

Trump Protected Jews on College Campuses and in Israel 

Check out Mark Levin’s monologue in this 12/03/23 episode foxnews.com/video/6342310894112 .   He details how the media portrays Trump as an evil dictator.  In reality, Trump is a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people. According to Levin “No other President has done as much for the Jewish people.”

Mark Levin listed Trump’s accomplishments:

• cut off ALL funding to the Palestinians – closed the PLO office  
• pulled US out of the Anti-Semitic UNHRC and cut off their funding
• appointed Niki Haley to defend Israel in her role as Ambassador to the UN 
• brought about the Abraham Accords, without giving up territory, creating ground breaking peace in the MidEast
• issued an Executive order to protect Jewish College students, using the civil rights act. 
• ended the Iranian nuclear deal.  imposed crushing sanctions against Iran.  Iran’s economy was in a deep recession…. The Iranian people were protesting.
• signed the Taylor Force Act to prevent "pay for slay" by the Palestinian Authority.  

I recommend these educational watchdog sites which use facts to fight the false hateful narratives against Israel and to fight pro-Hamas propaganda.

Marxist Censorship, Cancel Culture, & the power of the Media

In Chapter 6 of his book "American Marxism", Mark Levin describes the Marxist tactics used to subvert our Democracy, by our mainstream media and "Big Tech", social media giants (FB, Twitter, YouTube, Amazon...). According to The Center for Responsive Politics, executives at Big Tech firms have shown their bias towards Democrats through their donations of millions to 2020 Democratic candidate campaigns.  They have also conspired against rival Conservatives, using smear campaigns and deplatforming, including former President Trump and Conservative Parler.

Big Tech uses sophisticated algorithms to censor what they decide is hate speech.   Much of their Artificial Intelligence technology was developed originally by the Chinese Communist Party to stifle political dissent.   Just like in a Communist regime, any debate that would challenge our government's Marxist-based ideology can not be tolerated. Truth is their enemy.  

Marxists refer to their movements and ideologies using euphemistic terms, such as "Progressives", "Democratic Socialists", "Antifa", "Black Lives Matter" (BLM), "the Squad", "Critical Race Theory" (CRT).  Their ultimate goal is a one-party left-wing autocracy.  

Our Marxist media thrives on exploiting a crises. I watched the news repeat the image of George Floyd's last moments, everyday.  Everyday the media reinforced the narrative of systemic racism in the police force, by exploiting this one incident, fanning the flames of hatred against the police in order to divide us, inciting riots during summer 2020.   However, when a Black cop shot a White protester, Ashley Babitt, on 1/6/21, the media avoided any mention of it.... that Black cop was later celebrated as a hero.    

Levin is appalled by the disparity of our justice system.   The violent BLM/ Antifa rioters from last summer were not apprehended. VP Harris funded bail for those who were. Our radical left government supports and protects these violent Antifa rioters.   Antifa.com website is a portal to our own whitehouse.gov.  

Mark Levin gave kudos to Governor DeSantis for filling in where our government is negligent. For example, the open border crisis has resulting in millions of unvetted illegal immigrants being bused throughout the US, including Florida.   DeSantis has redirected those busses to DC. When our government ignores violent Antifa, DeSantis responded by issuing a law making violence during a protest a felony, thereby increasing penalties in the State of Florida. 

The press has incredible power to move people. If only the media used their power for good.  If they had repeated images of Hitler's brutality during the Holocaust, maybe then American citizens would have pressured our government to increase immigration quota for Jewish refugees?  The NY Times hid any mention of the horrors of the Holocaust deep in the middle of the paper. It should have been persistent, front page, prime time coverage.

Media Campaign against Trump & Censorship

For the past four years  Trump was subjected to an incessant smear campaign from the leftist mainstream media (MSM). He was falsely accused of Russia collusion and relentlessly bullied. He was portrayed as a monster white-supremacist, because he put America first; never any acknowledgement of his monumental successes. Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” developed a CoVid vaccine in 10 months, despite being told it was impossible. As mentioned in my prior post, his administration negotiated the historic Abraham Accords, achieving peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors. December, 2019, he passed the new Anti-Semitism Definition  to protect Jewish college students. (Details saved  trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-combating-anti-semitism ).  He hired Nikki Haley, the first Ambassador to the UN, to courageously stand up for Israel, against the anti-Israel bias in the UN. Haley also stood up against their pro-Hamas resolutions. She referred to her inaugural role as “the new sheriff in town”.  According to Mike Kelley of NewsMax –“ ISIS was born under Obama and obliterated by Trump… Trump brought ISIS down.”  No other president achieved what Trump and his administration did in just four years.  

Just like Obama, we only hear accolades for Biden regardless of his actions, from MSM.  Hannity described the media’s treatment of  Biden as their “candidate protection program”.  MSM is silent about the Biden family dealings with Communist China.   MSM Journalists no longer do any research. They only attack or silence their adversaries. They agitate and bully Trump and Republicans. In this video Rep. Ron DeSantis responds to an aggressive CNN reporter.

ANTIFA RIOTS

Back in June, 2020, after violent BLM/Antifa mobs burned down a Minneapolis Police Station, Kamala Harris responded with , “This is a movement…They are not going to stop and they should NOT”.  Antifa bombed and burned cities. Over 7 months of BLM/Antifa riots in Democratic cities, resulted in 45 innocent citizens killed, 700 police officers injured, small businesses looted and destroyed, 150 federal buildings damaged, defaced, burned.  Instead of outrage, Democrats empowered these thugs. Kamala funded their bail.  www.antifa.com is a redirect to Biden’s whitehouse.gov .

According to DailyTorch 1/21/2021 article “Exposing Democrat Hypocrisy over Political Violence”,  “Democrats who encouraged and funded the Antifa, BLM rioters for most of the past year, wasted no time exploiting the Capitol attack for political gain." In Biden’s inaugural address he characterized 75 million Trump fans as domestic terrorists, Neo-Nazis, & fascists.  Biden incited his fellow leftists to track down Trump supporters. This is not unity; this is the KGB.  

The CAPITAL 1/06/2021

They blamed Trump for inciting the handful of thugs who stormed the capital.  In his speech Trump called for “peaceful” protests. The media censored that video and Twitter & Facebook deleted his accounts, disconnecting him from his people: We the People.  Renowned lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, refers to this as McCarthyism. According to Mark Levin of “Life, Liberty, & Levin”, the FBI knew of the attack, days prior and did nothing. 

John Earle Sullivan, a radical self-described “revolutionary” who founded a group called “Insurgence USA,” was arrested and charged with planning and inciting a riot amid the heavy pro-Trump crowd at the U.S. Capitol.   He was one of many radical leftist and Antifa infiltrators who blended into the crowd. Sullivan was seen on video shouting to a crowd, over a microphone, “we about to burn this shit down,” “we got to rip Trump out of office".  Details can be found in this document.

Historical Parallels

The censorship and targeting of 75 million Trump fans, along with the shutdown of conservative voices on Facebook, Twitter and Parler, is a great big red flag.   Remember the historical parallels.  From 1927 – 1933 Germany went from Democracy to a 1-party Nazi system, censoring all dissenting political views.  Nazi Propaganda was everywhere. 

Isn’t that what is happening here, now?  Leftist propaganda as delivered by MSM, newspapers, social-ist media…Our MSM is the propaganda arm of the Democratic party.  According to Mike Pompeo “Censorship, wokeness, political correctness, it all points in one direction – authoritarianism, cloaked as moral righteousness."  Nikki Haley stated, “From college classrooms to corporate boardrooms, … liberal elites want to silence anyone who does not toe the far left line."  Freedom of speech has been compromised, replaced by fake news and censorship.

For historical perspective, these quotes come from USHMM article on Nazi-propaganda-and-censorship:

“When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press…The Nazis controlled all  forms of communication through censorship and propaganda… By the middle of 1933, the Nazi Party was the only political party, and nearly all organized opposition to the regime had been eliminated. Democracy was dead in Germany.”

Anti-Zionism, Anti-Semitism, and the MEDIA

Our television media and our social media have failed to protect the values of truth in journalism. I recently watched the Netflix documentary “The Social Dilemma”. Facebook (FB) was portrayed as a powerful puppeteer, feeding into whatever view the user is leaning towards. If a FB user was leaning left, soon FB was feeding them radical leftist propaganda and conspiracy theories: Whatever strategies would hold the user as a captive audience, and gain the most “likes”. Truth has become irrelevant. We are living in George Orwell’s 1984. Your FB feed is bred by FB, to confirm your view of reality, not to challenge it.

 

FB, Google, YouTube and other social media platforms are silencing conservative voices and allowing hate speech and fake news to proliferate. Prager University videos have been banned for presenting a conservative perspective. Anti-Zionist and anti-Israel propaganda have become mainstream, accepted, normalized. In a prior post from my blog, in May 2017, I wrote about the destructive forces of propaganda against Israel, perpetrated by the Palestinians and leftist media, bootupnow.blogspot.com/2017/05/anti-israel-propaganda-prevents-peace.html 

President Trump recently negotiated the Abraham accord, the first viable peace agreement between Israel and its Arab neighbors, in 30 years. Finally, a president who sees the Palestinian threat for what it is, slanderous to Israel’s reputation world-wide, run by the terrorist organization, Hamas. Pallywood, the Palestinian theatrical media, produces fake episodes portraying Israeli military (IDF) as violent aggressors. The media promotes this biased view as truth. Prior administrations have tried to appease the Palestinians, asking Israel to make concessions and give up their land in exchange for peace. These offers of land for peace were always refused by the Palestinians.  According to a recent Ben Shapiro Daily Wire article-"Relations between Jordan and Israel, between the UAE and Israel, between Sudan and Israel, between Egypt and Israel — none now hide behind the fig leaf of Palestinian demands to avoid peace."

Trump stands by Israel and the Jewish people.  When pro-Israel students are harassed on campus, there is no outrage. The media is silent. In Dec, 2019, President Trump's executive order declared anti-Zionism a form of anti-Semitism, and added Antisemitism to the list of discriminations prohibited by Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. 

People ask me why I care so much about Israel. When Israel is slandered, I take it personally. Israel is the Jewish State, the Jewish homeland. If you criticize Israel’s policies and do NOT criticize Syria’s, Iran’s, or other fascists regimes in the MidEast, then your criticism is anti-Semitism. 

I deal with colleagues, professors at the community college I work at, who admit that they hate Zionists. When a close colleague told me this, I was very hurt. A Zionist is someone who loves Israel. Since when did Zionism become a dirty word? I blame the media for portraying Israel negatively by repeating these inciteful words: occupier, colonial, in reference to Israel. Israel is not an occupier, since Israel is, and always was, the historic Jewish homeland. The Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel. The British Mandate of Palestine returned the land of Israel to the Jews, in a legal process. Any Arab Bedouins living on the land at that time, in 1948, were paid fairly for their property by the Zionists. 

My colleagues believe what the media and other academics have fed them. It’s not only what the media covers, it’s what the media refuses to cover. How many people know about the more than 2500 acres of farmland and 2700 acres of forest burned by fire bombs and incendiary balloons launched by the Palestinians from Gaza. What about the terror tunnels and murder of innocent Israeli civilians by Hamas? As soon as Israel is accused of some alleged crime, it is all over the news. What about when Israel comes to our rescue, to help us fight fires in California? How often do you see media coverage of Israel in a positive light? 

The most righteous thing someone can do, is to speak up for someone else. The gentiles who risked their lives to defend my parents from the Nazis, there is nothing higher, more revered to me. Trump defending Israel and Zionist students on college campuses, deserves the same respect and admiration. Trump threatened to withhold federal funds from colleges promoting Anit-Israel hate propaganda. No other president has ever addressed it or tried to stop it. Hate coming from the right and neo-NAZIs, is readily disavowed. But not from the left. Anti-Semitism & Anti-Zionisn in the Democaratic party has proliferated and does not seem to abate. The Democratic Party remains  politically correct, refusing to disavow Anti-Semitism in their own party.

These sites describe the myths & lies propagated by Pro-Palestinian / Anti-Israel hate groups such as SJP, BDS, & JVP.
SJP, Students for Justice in Palestine, their motto is “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free” - their goal is the same as that of the Nazis during the Holocaust, a land that is Judenfree -free of Jews.   BDS, Boycott, Divest, Sanctions, it promotes the boycott of Israeli goods. This was a Nazi tactic, Jewish businesses were boycotted during the Shoah!
To understand Palestinian PROPAGANDA Warfare, we need to expose their deceitful Language: 
PALESTINE - There is no such country.  Palestine was the name for the land of Israel prior to 1948 British Mandate of Palestine.   The mandate divided the land between Israel & Jordan, 2 states, with Jordan getting 77%.  
Original flag of Palestine 1939 (re. http://drrichswier.com/2014/11/16/flag-palestine-1939 ) :

The current Arab Palestinian flag is nearly identical to Jordan's flag.  Can you tell the difference?
  
Arab Palestinians use the terms  "occupation" & "settlers" to describe the Jews of Israel /Palestine.  The truth is that Israel is the Jewish birthright and Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel.   There is scientific evidence to back this up: DNA and archeological artifacts.   Arab Palestinians have even accused Israel of Apartheid.  This is so absurd, since Israel is the only Democracy in the Middle East. Arab citizens of Israel have full rights.   

When Israel became a state in 1948
700,00 Arabs living in Israel were instructed by their Arab leadership to flee, since the Arab states were planning a military attack.  These Arabs were told by their leaders that they would have the "right of return" after Israel was destroyed.   At the same time 800,000 Jews living in Arab countries were forced to flee as their homes & property was forcefully confiscated.  Those Jewish refugees  became Israeli citizens.  The Arabs who chose to leave Israel became refugees and are still living as refugees to this day!
