Elizabeth Warren Sounding Warning for the Future of Israel

 

From amongst the leading contenders for the Democrat candidacy to run for President in 2020 is Elizabeth Warren. Recently she was approached by one of the sad plethora of anti-Israel young American Jews about her stand and whether she plans to force the Israeli government to surrender the “occupied Palestinian (Arab) lands” should she win and enter the White House. The conversation went as below:

Becca Lubow, a student and a member of the IfNotNow Jewish anti-occupation movement approached Ms. Warren with their exchange,
“Hi, we are American Jews and we really love the way that you are fighting corruption and we would really love it if you also push the Israeli government to end the occupation,” Lubow said.
“Yes, yes,” Warren said.
“Excellent,” Lubow said.
“So, I’m there,” Warren said.

The encounter was captured in a video that IfNotNow soon posted on social media and can be viewed at the link given above. Bernie Sanders, another of the leading contenders for the Democrat candidacy and a Jew, by birth only, has also stated his support for the Palestinian Arab cause and stated his opposition to the Netanyahu government, something which appears as it will continue for the next three to four years after the September election. Other than Joe Biden, the rest of the Democrat candidates mostly take an anti-Israel position and many would do everything they were able to end all United States aid to Israel. This is something we have stated before as the main thing which we see as frightening. Allow us to explain.

 

We have absolutely no doubt that losing the aid provided by the United States once would have sounded a death knell for Israel. That is no longer the reality as we will show using the graphs below. The top graph shows Israeli GDP while the bottom graph shows United States aid to Israel. The United States aid began in the early 1970’s and by the 1980’s reached approximately three billion dollars and leveled out at this level from there forward. When this aid originally reached this three-billion-dollar rate it was between ten to twenty percent of Israeli GDP and as such was a significant percentage making it vital to Israel. Israeli GDP has increase steadily since the late 1980’s and in its own way never looked back. Currently that three-billion-dollars of United States aid makes up in the one-percent range against current Israeli GDP. Israel should present President Trump with a three-billion-dollar present and simply decrease the amount of United States aid to the maintenance promised for the new F-35 JSF being incorporated into the Israeli Air Force and a sliding scale as Israel takes over production of her own military needs. This United States aid was initiated when the United States basically bribed Israel with F-15’s and F-16’s in exchange Israel would not pursue production of the Lavi fighter jet which would have been a direct competitor on the international market for the F-16. This was a deal by which the United States gained sales of her own fighters without Israeli competition. With the United States preparing to provide Egypt and Saudi Arabia with F-35 JSF the promise of air superiority has now been broken and thus Israel should plan on producing from scratch her own sixth generation fighter. Once the new Israel fighter is produced, which would likely take a decade, Israel would no longer be dependent upon the United States for her air defense fighters. This three-billion-dollars of United States aid could be utilized by the United States and no longer be a drain on the over-bloated United States budget. But there are more reasons why this is becoming a necessity for Israel.

United States Israel Aid (Military)

 

Israel should also begin to produce every weapon used by the IDF. This includes the weapons, bullets, artillery, aircraft, and these could join the Merkava Tanks as proudly produced Israeli defensive weapons, which unfortunately have a habit of appearing to be identical to offensive weaponry. These weapons are only exactly what they are utilized in the military and this decides whether or not they are offensive or defensive. Israel has yet to instigate a war and all her wars have been in response to attacks by her neighbors or by terrorist organizations. This is why Israeli weapons are of a defensive nature. When reading about the wonder weapons which Israel has developed, the mainstay have been interceptor missiles such as Arrow 1, 2, and 3; Iron Dome and David’s Sling, all interceptors of rockets, missiles, ballistic missiles, mortars and other weapons used to try and destroy Israel. The main Israeli activity has been the new barrier being installed around Gaza which is being driven meters underground to prevent tunneling as well as above ground having a strong and reinforced fence which will be resistant to the attempts to destroy the current border barriers which are proving inadequate. In northern Israel a similar border barrier is being considered in order to prevent further tunnel activity by Hezballah in Lebanon. The IDF has also developed a means of detecting these tunnels to a significant depth which has already found dozens of tunnels out of Gaza and Lebanon. There are more advance interceptors being designed and tested which are kept as secretive as proves possible. There have been rumors of laser interceptor to augment the Iron Dome and could possibly be adapted for use against ballistic missiles. But we are not here to guess what the future will bring as we would just as soon be pleasantly surprised and amazed when these systems come on-line and the world marvels with us.

 

The reason for Israel to become self-dependent for her military needs is something which could provide more than not being overly dependent upon foreign providers. Looking at the majority of what appears as the future of the Democrat Party and one sees a growing number of candidates, Representatives and Senators who are sporting anti-Israel positions. Their antagonism against Israel almost comes seething from their lips. The vast percentage of the current Democrat Presidential candidates are pro-Palestinian Arab and only mouth support for Israel before specific audiences. It should act as a warning to Israel when all of the Democrat Presidential hopefuls refused to address AIPAC, the largest pro-Israel Jewish organization. They also refused to appear at the CUNI convention which is the leading Christian pro-Israel organization. Add to this the seeming constant flow of quotes and Tweets coming from a select group of freshman Congress-critters, namely Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We would like to believe that these young representatives were not an indication of the future, but that would be attempting to blind ourselves to reality. Supporting Israel, one of the longest running nonpartisan politics but is becoming a partisan political issue with the Republicans supporting Israel and the Democrats attempting to force Israel into committing acts which would challenge her continued existence.

 

We realize that President Trump is a controversial President if the media is any indication. In Israel he divides people as well but the main area where this divide exists is from the Americans who have recently made Aliyah and who still identify with their United States party affiliations. The vast majority of Israelis are favorable in their views of President Trump as he has been good for Israel. We are also very aware that President Trump may only have a mere year and a half in office if he is defeated in 2020 or five and half years should he win in 2020. Either way, Israel must prepare for the United States post President Trump. It is even difficult to predict who or where the Republicans will find their candidate for 2024. There is but a slight chance that the Republican will win the 2024 Presidential race and even should they win, the odds of their continuing post 2028 are remote if electoral history is any indicator. The United States rarely keeps the same party in the White House for over twelve years in a row in recent times. This means that Israel will be facing potentially an anti-Israel President within the next decade. This is an eventuality which Israel had best be prepared to survive. The Israeli government and particularly its leadership must face facts that counting on the United States to be a close ally and provider of military hardware is approaching its use-by-date after which things could become very dicey.

 

The problem is that this partnership where Israeli technical aid working with the United States on weapons development and then dependent upon the United States for production of these self-same weapons systems is about to come to an abrupt halt. This will not be a slow estrangement where events will unfold slowly over a decade or more. This will be much closer to having the United States as a close ally on January 19th and then the next day a new President is sworn in and on January 20th Israel will find they no longer have a close ally in the United States. When this happens, all aid from the United States will either completely dry up within a year or will start to come with demands that Israel withdraw from lands presenting them to the Palestinian Arabs to govern themselves. We have already witnessed what this entails. We have one example in Gaza where they would just as soon burn Israel completely to the ground because they love the land so very much. Then with the Palestinian Authority we have Mahmoud Abbas explaining that if he had only one shekel, he would use it to pay one of the terrorists who has murdered Jews. He just as often says Jews as he does Israelis as to him, they are the same. Abbas is so invested in his investing in terrorism and the murder of Israelis, preferably Jews, which comes before paying the workers because the number one occupation is terrorism as far as the ruling elites care. What kind of threat the Palestinian Arabs can pose if they were to become provided for by the United States is something frightening and for which Israel had best have a plan in the works.

 

Finally, there is another side to this which Israel also need consider. Designing and producing a fighter jet and other support aircraft and air-frames along with all the other requirements for the IDF including weapons and bullets and every other weapons system would provide thousands of higher than average paying jobs. Further, these kinds of production could be placed in the Negev and used to build entire cities around these production facilities providing more jobs and new metropolitan regions for the future growth of Israel. We would like to envision Israel building a spaceport from which Israel and other nations who wish to launch satellites can use which could provide Israel with new friends and benefit her older friends as well. This spaceport could be the central hub for these industries plus Israel could develop systems which are capable of placing satellites in orbit and even emulate another Israeli, Elon Musk, and also develop boosters and even second stages which land back on earth for repeated use. The time has come for Israel to become completely, or as much as she is capable of performing, dependent upon only her own talents and production facilities. Israel could build an entire new passenger airline frame along with her military air-frames and develop the most efficient engines and avionics breaking into this multi-trillion-dollar international market. Once Israel incorporates her economy with an outward look as to how her resources and brain-trusts can best be invested and utilized in order to make Israel a vital nation to the world as a whole, the faster many of the groups fighting her will fail and Israel will have some peace. This is what a spaceport, passenger aircraft production, her own lines of military hardware and a multitude of other vital production businesses such that Israel becomes an asset to all instead of a target for hatred and spite. And, as we stated, the Negev just begs for a spaceport to be built in its center and to use as a hub for a futuristic region.

 

Israel Space Port Launch Facility

 

Instead, many Israelis are of the notion that the United States will always be there as our friend and staunch ally. We would like to remind them that early in the nation’s history the United States was neutral at best and a hindrance too often and has not been our ally and military partner for the first thirty-five years of our history. Israel used to fly French Mirage interceptors which. though designed as a bomber interceptor to be used should the USSR invade Europe, Israel made do using it as their first line fighter aircraft. This was part of the reason why Israel was developing the Lavi fighter. For those stuck on the United States as providing Israel with aircraft out of any purely altruistic means need to remember that Israel had to forgo producing fighters while this arrangement lasts and this denied Israelis with thousands of jobs and the country with an even healthier GDP. Israelis need to come to grips with the unfortunate fact that the United States is going to become estranged in the not too distant future and guaranteed earlier than Israel will be prepared if certain steps are not taken and taken immediately. Some truths are difficult for people to get their arms around as they have this comfort level of which any new idea which pulls the rug out from under their understanding is met with disbelief. Such disbelief always leads to facing a crisis which should have been foreseen and planned for. One such belief is that the United States will always be there, a belief which will inevitably become false and lead to great panic if not prepared for now rather than waiting to be blindsided. There really is nothing else to add beyond the old set of the six “P’s” which means, Prior Planning Prevents Poor Panicky Performance.

 

Beyond the Cusp

 

Tropes Permitted and Truths Denied

 

There appears to be a small flap in the New York City Council while in Congress they are giving a pass and almost lauding the tropist. We will just mention this quickly now and allude to it when necessary as the Tropes. We have all heard, read and likely talked about the newly elected Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar and her spiteful and hateful messages concerning Israel and American Jews using anti-Semitic tropes from the Nazi era and what are now found in common speech throughout the MENA Arab nations. The Democrat elites, while shaking with severe trepidation have excused her remarks as simply something from her culture and from having lived much of her life in Somalia. Ms. Omar is not even close to being in jeopardy of losing her prestigious seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, a committee which forms the United States foreign policy including Israel and where often classified and even top secret information from the military, CIA, FBI and NSA is entered into evidence during briefings. But all will be fine after Ms. Omar has had time to adjust to her new position and we probably will not hear any more such outbursts, or at least there will not be as many so quickly. We know we will probably hear less of such hateful messages from Ms. Omar likely due to the media refusing to report on it allowing her to get a pass. Sure, a few places will cover it from some on the extreme alt. right who, like David Duke, agree with her sentiments as well as her fellow travelers on the extreme left and within the Islamic community such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (left) and Rashida Tlaib (Islamic) who claims that she is in the Congress such that the Palestinian Arab voice will be heard. One can only wonder what their voters now think and it will be interesting to see the future if these three are representative of what to expect. But perhaps we should look at the other extreme which is in many ways more of the same as in Congress, just with a different twist.

 

New York City Councilman Kalman Yeger, who represents the Haredi Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park, has faced somewhat a bumpy road when he stated that the controversial Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar an anti-Semite. This actually just added to his problems as he had also Tweeted a geographical and historical truth, “Palestine does not exist.” Well, it is true, Palestine does not exist. There, now we’ve said it, again. Would you like to hear it again? OK, the person in the back yelling, go for it, you got it, Palestine does not exist. Councilman Yeger is losing his seat on the City Council’s Immigration Committee. New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson insisted, “I very vigorously condemn his comments in no uncertain terms. The best thing about our city is our diversity, and that includes our Jewish community and it includes our amazing Palestinian community as well who live here.” But then, according to the New York Post, Councilman Kalman Yeger doubled down likely for a third time telling them, “There is no state by that name; there is no place by that name. That’s a fact. I did not make it up.” Oh, but in our new age of intersectionality, stating this specific truth puts you on the wrong side, politically. Defending Israel is out and replacing Israel with Palestine is in. This was made all the more evident with a number of the responses Councilman Yeger received from a broad array of leftist Democrats and Islamists.

 

Leading the Democrats is the card carrying Communist and Mayor of New York Bill de Blasio, who said on WNYC radio, “If you’re asking my personal opinion, yeah, I think someone who has the ability to say that about Palestinian people by definition should not be on the Immigration Committee.” He stated further, “Now, if he comes out and he apologizes, and says, ‘Look, I was wrong and I realize what I did was hurtful and I’ve got to change,’ different discussion. But if he’s not going to apologize, he shouldn’t be on that committee.” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio also took to Twitter to have his say recorded in digital eternity, otherwise known as the data files at NSA Nevada complex. We have included this post below to assure it makes it into the complex files.

 

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Twitter Post

 

Linda Sarsour also insisted she be heard, issuing a statement which included remarks such as “this kind of hate” and “bigoted,” and demanding that Yeger “apologize publicly to Palestinian New Yorkers.” Hey, Linda, tell us how you really feel. But Councilman Yeger does have those supporting his position and giving him their full backing. One such supporter, and an impressive one at that, if we may add, was Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, Eastern Regional Vice President of the Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), who injected this into the conversation stating, “There has never been a country called Palestine. Jews have been connected to the land of Israel continuously for 37 centuries. Find a ‘Palestinian’ writer from the 6th, 16th or 19th Century, and you will find a Jew. In 1948, the Palestine Post became the Jerusalem Post. ‘Palestinian Arabs’ are a late 20th-century creation, concocted for the sole purpose of thwarting the national state of the Jewish people.” We could not have put it any better ourselves. Additionally, Rabbi Dov Fischer, Rabbi Pruzansky’s Western Regional counterpart, chimed in with the following commentary, “when Ahmed Shukairy launched the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) in 1964, the ‘Palestine’ he sought to ‘liberate’ was Tel Aviv and Haifa. It was a ploy — they used the name Palestine because it was too ridiculous to call for the ‘liberation’ of Judea from Jews.” The Rabbi definitely has a point, it would have sounded exactly as it actually is had they decided to announce the truth, that their desire is to steal the two areas where the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judea were located. Before the division over who the rightful heir was to the throne, the Kingdoms were originally the Hebrews often referred to by the Prophet or Judge who was the ranking person or the Cohen Gadol until they demanded to have Kings. Then the first King was Saul, followed by King David and finally by King Solomon. They formed what historians refer to as Greater Israel.

 

This term, Greater Israel, has been used also to attack the Israelis claiming that Israel desires conquering all the lands between the Euphrates River and the Nile River (see comparison below). The truth is Greater Israel was a historic period under Kings David and Solomon (see comparison below). They conquered a fair piece of land which stretched from the Euphrates River in where today is northern Syria and south to the Wadi of Egypt, sometimes called the River of Egypt as it marked the northeastern limit to the Egyptian Empire and the border of the Sinai Peninsula. There are no plans, desires, ulterior motives or any other nefarious plans to expand the borders of Israel beyond those promised by the League of Nations and agreements with the British over the Mandate lands which defined the eastern border of Israel and the Jordan River. Under International Law and every legal definition, the eastern border of Israel is the Jordan River unless Israel were to legally sign away all rights to these lands, which is why the European Union, United Nations and the remainder of the hordes attempting to destroy Israel piece by piece if required insist that Israel recognize an Arab state called Palestine and define its borders such that Israel relinquishes all claims to the Jordan River as her eastern border. No such agreement has been reached despite numerous offers by Israel to grant actual borders to an entity named Palestine but the Arabs have always refused any compromise. The Arabs, and this includes the Palestinian leadership, insist on only one solution, the dissolution of the Jewish State, all the land being placed under Arab rule and the Jews removed by whatever means are required. As history has proven to the Jewish People, Israeli Jews can pretty much expect every last nation on the globe to refuse to permit any Jews across their borders should Israel ever be defeated which will lead to the wholesale slaughter of the Jews of Israel by whatever conquering Islamic Arab armies might ever succeed with the destruction of Israel as the Jewish State. The entirety of the refugee “Right of Return” being claimed by the Arabs, this taken from the Jewish Right of Return Law, is designed to place many tens of millions of Arabs into Israel such that they become the majority and vote the Jews out of their homelands. Everything that the Arabs design and attempt to execute are simply new means of destroying the Jewish State which was the purpose behind the Khartoum Resolution and the “Three No’s,” “no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel.” Facing this as the basis for all dealings with the Palestinian Arabs and one quickly sees that they are not negotiating, not recognizing, and through terror not permitting peace to exist for Israel.

 

Conspiracy Greater Israel and Kings David and Solomon Historic Greater Israel

 

With lies such as the above pictured, one can see how people can be led to believing the Jews are attempting to conquer the world. This was the basis behind the forgery printed by the Tsarist government titled “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” which has been used by virtually every anti-Semitic group to prove the nefarious desires of the Jews and their plan to rule the world. Anyone believing that the Jews, all 0.2% of the world’s population, could ever dominate the world is so far beyond ludicrous that it is hardly worth countering our accusers. Yet we have sitting in the United States House of Representatives at least one Representative, Ilhan Omar, who is openly anti-Israel and very likely anti-Semitic and this bigotry and hatred is excused while she sits on one of the most important and powerful committees in the land but a New York City Councilman, Kalman Yeger, is unsuited and removed from the New York City Council Immigration Committee because he stated a geographic fact which hurt a few select powerful people’s slanted and biased anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and by being these two they qualify as anti-Semitic beliefs which they wish were true so deeply that they are unable to even abide a completely true and honest statement which contradicts their worldview. Because these people have the power, they have decided that the truth must be buried, contradicted, ravaged and eradicated before it has any possibility of correcting the party line that Palestine must be real otherwise we cannot continue the terror war against Israel and the Jews. Ultimately, this is what the reaction to Councilman Yeger and his daring to speak the truth, “Palestine does not exist.” Once there was the concept of speaking truth to power, now we have the power making up the truth we are supposed to believe and live by. Sorry, we prefer reality and what actually is to your made up world where everything is sugarplums and whipped cream and things are what they claim they are and countering their reality results in ostracization and rejection. If you find what happened in New York was a disgusting affair, wait until the Democrat Party takes over both houses of Congress and the White House very likely in 2024, then the world will be required to awaken to a whole new reality, their fantasy world will become the foreign policies and domestic policies of the United States. We can only hope that by then Israel has realized what is coming and prepared to do everything for herself by herself because the world will be against her.

And They Are Astonished and Shocked People Found Fault

 

One of the most shocking articles we have read of late was titled so appropriately, “Um, What?! Sarsour Is Triggered…By Those Condemning Omar’s Anti-Semitic Remarks.” The article included Ms. Sarsour’s Tweet over her shock and amazed astonishment that people were actually “piled on Representative Ilhan Omar” and that this had “incited a hate mob against her” claiming further that Ms. Omar had received “assassination threats” demanding that people “reflect on how you contribute to Islamophobia” then demanding it be brought to a halt. The problem with her Tweet is that it is so rich in the usual excuses, the same old threats and the attempt to turn the tables making the victim the threat and those, or in this case, the person, who started with threats, is now the victim. This is classic Taqiyya, lying for the advancement of Islam and protecting its delicate little terror inciting against those who would dare question or criticize any Islamic believer. This is almost as rich as the first and most used phrase spread as Taqiyya most ardently by President George W. Bush after 911 when he came out and stated repeatedly, “Islam is the religion of peace,” and went further with another Islamic canard stating, “This (referring to the 911 attacks) is not representative of real Islam,” which he would then cap off with the first example pairing the two together. The methodology of Islam in their efforts to replace any governing body with Sharia which is a body of law from the Quran and Hadiths which places the true believers over those lesser human beings who have yet to adopt the sole faith permitted. We discussed the Islamic path taking them from their initial contact on through to total control and all that entails in this article in relative depth. We even included a nice attractive illustrative version of the steps utilized.

 

Linda Sarsour’s Tweet Expressing Shock Concerning Reaction to Ilhan Omar’s Anti-Semitism

 

So, Linda Sarsour was triggered by the protestations against the hate speech by Ilhan Omar before the House of Representatives. Triggered, unless one is up on the newspeak which has been introduced so as to limit our ability to communicate any political or social positions the new masters of all that is good wish to eradicate, this idea of triggered may be a new term, so here we will provide a short definition. Triggered means more than what one might attribute to it initially as it is obvious it means that one reacted with shock and amazement at some act, speech or other human activity or even something as commonplace as the wrong type of person appearing where they would be unwelcomed and unexpected. But this word goes even further as it is reserved for the use by those who are to be our overseers in the near future and only by those who are identified with the left and the radical left at that. Islam is about as far left as one can get, or so they are touting themselves. Social justice warriors are often if not perpetually triggered by almost everything they see, especially in the United States. The greatest triggering item is the personage of President Trump. Many people claim that simply hearing the name “Trump” is sufficient to trigger them. Some people when triggered go on the attack as Ms. Sarsour did with her Tweet, while others go to their “safe space” where they can use coloring books, pet puppies, listen to soothing music tailored to their tastes, receive counseling to help calm them plus anything else they may need. When President Trump won the 2016 election, there were entire colleges which were triggered to the point that final exams were cancelled to be rescheduled after everybody had received the proper and needful counseling and had recovered from the excessive shock they had suffered. The interesting thing about those events was that they naturally assumed that every student was on the left supporting Hillary Clinton if not the Green Party and that with the fine education, read indoctrination, these students had been provided, read subjected, they would naturally follow their professors and their teaching and have become good little leftists. This is something which should concern anybody who believes that making a profit is not evil and that with greater position and greater responsibility comes greater rewards or salary and do not believe that everybody has exactly the same worth and thus a brain surgeon should not be paid any more or less than a stocking clerk.

 

Linda Sarsour is herself a piece of work. She is an subversive Islamist who works to facilitate Islam becoming the ruling elite in the world with her specialty being the United States. Her immediate call of Islamophobia is textbook leftist, Saul Alinsky tactics straight out of Rules for Radicals. There it teaches that if attacked for something which you are not capable of defending; act hurt and pretend that you are the victim and never the accuser or initiator of anything controversial. Further, if one can use words which will place them within a protected group, in this case followers of Islam, then all the better as then one can insist that they not be criticized as they were simply doing what was normative in their culture, and all cultures are equal as we all know (smirk). That was exactly what Ms. Sarsour was doing with her reference to Islamophobia. We really like the overuse of “phobia” and specifically with Homophobia and Islamophobia. We cannot speak for our readers though we suspect that only the tiniest of a minority of them fear homosexuals and probably only a slightly greater group are afraid of Muslims as a rule. When we grew up, words had exact meanings which were never supposed to change and you could figure out the meaning of many words by breaking them down and looking at the independent parts. Today the world is full of Humpty Dumptys who believe as did he that, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less.” Through restricting vocabulary through the use of “Whole Word Recognition,” in the school systems and redefining words so they no longer represent what they had a generation previous, the left is slowly making debate on the issues they stand behind completely impossible for the next generation who will be horrifically stunted in their ability for free thought. This is not an original idea as it was explained in George Orwell’s classic “1984” where the word newspeak received its definition. In the fascist, leftist society in which the book is set, Big Brother oversees all and monitors all. The schools teach the children only the words they wish them to use and they have dumbed down the language by ridding the vernacular by ridding it of obsolete and unnecessary words making everyone happier and simplifying their lives. The story reveals that the government regularly will deem a word offensive and dangerous making its use forbidden and into a crime. This also makes work for people going through all books, essays, films and other forms for communication and removing the offensive word replacing it with the soft new word which might actually alter the meaning of the sentence or even the entire work making it fall within accepted boundaries approved by the government, Big Brother.

 

The next part of Ms. Sarsour’s shock at people objecting to the anti-Semitism expressed by Ilhan Omar was to claim that there had been threats on her life. This is another ploy performed for two reasons, first to gain sympathy and second to label all who comment against her speech into murderous villains who are assisting in the future killing of Ms. Omar, something which is highly unlikely to ever come to fruition. Further, there have been no recordings of these threats, no call for police to investigate such threats and absolutely no evidence for such threats as they are unlikely to have happened. People who are Conservative in their politics are often reserved in their lives and are not the type to make physical threats and especially not to make death threats; these are the people who believe in intellectual debate as the best means for settling differences, not elimination of their opposition, that is a fascist concept. But this is all part of playing the victim. The new means of gaining power is to be the most attacked and prejudiced against person in the room, then you win. Life has become very similar to a form of poker called Low-Ball where whomever has the worst hand, wins. There are no straights and no flushes so Ace-2-3-4-5 is the best hand possible unless you are using the jokers which gets confusing, so we will skip that part of today’s lesson. Yes, we know this is not a lesson but simply our one-sided start for a discussion which can be further carried out through the comments you may wish to add. Where this article started and will go, we expect at least one or two upset leftists.

 

 

What is interesting about Linda Sarsour’s attempt to silence all objection to Islam defined for all to see is easily attributed to her efforts to cast Islam as the religion of peace and where terrorist acts are forbidden and place these two pillars as the base supporting everything else she states about Islam. Ilhan Omar opened up a can of worms for Ms. Sarsour as she had to come behind Ms. Omar and clean up the Islamic reality spilling out for all to see before anybody had a chance to realize that Islam is about conquest and domination and not peace or acceptance of others. Ms. Sarsour was hoping that because Ilhan Omar’s target was Israel, Zionists and Jews that people might be slower to realize exactly what she was stating plainly, that Islam must be the central guide for the United States and the world. She was saying the exact same mantra we hear in Israel coming from Hamas, Fatah, Iran, Erdogan and so many other Islamic leaders that here there is no escaping the truth. This different perspective about Islam is a large part of the disconnect between Israeli and American Jews. The interesting reality which became so excessively evident by the watered down and weak admonition which the House passed as a resolution called for an end to every version of “hate crime” that they could possibly think exists and equated Islamic hate crimes with anti-Semitic hate crimes. There is no comparison between what is called Islamophobia and anti-Semitism and despite what all the caterwauling and kvetching about Islamophobia, hate crimes against the Jews are committed at a rate over three and a half times as frequent as hate crimes against Muslims and even higher compared to any other group.

 

 

The thing is, we actually applaud Ilhan Omar for coming out into the open and announcing her hatreds for all to see. We wish every anti-Semite were as honest in their hatred as Ms. Omar so we would know who they are. Yes, hatred is a terrible emotion to hold, especially without cause. We are willing to wager that Ilhan Omar has never been victimized by a Jew and that even a majority of the Jews in her district supported her against her Republican opponent. We do know she was graciously received by Jewish groups when she met and spoke to them telling them how she held no hatred towards Jews and supported the same ideas and ideals as they held. Do we really need to even tell that these were words spoken as Taqiyya in order to gain their trust and their support through their votes. We did not think it was necessary. Now that the cat is out of the bag, there has been an urgent seeking of somebody to run against Ms. Omar in the Democrat primaries within her district. These efforts have not produced one willing to try to defeat her and this is likely due to the excessively large number of Somalis who were placed within her district such that they are close to being a majority and are definitely a plurality. We have heard from people here in Israel and from contacts and friends in the United States claiming that obviously Ilhan Omar as well as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will not be reelected in the next election. We have once again needed to be the bearer of bad news as we believe that both will probably be with us in the Congress for the foreseeable future and will defend their seats winning easily. The only hope of unseating either of these Representatives, as well as a few select others who have drawn criticism over their overt acts, would be to defeat them in a primary for as long as they are the Democrat candidate, they are guaranteed of a victory. Things are changing faster and faster. As we have noted before, we have seen these changes approaching since the mid-1960’s when people looked at us and simply claimed that we required psychiatric help. It is a good thing we do not have the inclination to confront these people today and ask them if they can see the writing on the wall. Unfortunately, if they are like the majority of American Jews and all too many Israeli Jews, their reply would be, what wall? This has been the reaction consistently and we do not see this changing until they are confronted with the inevitable results crashing into their lives in a violent manner. It is a form of willful blindness and there is no cure for this affliction. The main difference between Israeli Jews and American Jews is far less when one removes religious observance from the picture. Both believe that America is the new Promised Land along side Israel, that the two nations will never part their present friendship, that life in the United States is more comfortable with greater wealth and a host of other truths and fables about America. The difference is that American Jews believe that residing in Israel is inviting trouble and far too dangerous to even consider leaving the warm, loving, adoring life in America for the troubles and threats faced in Israel while Israeli Jews reside in Israel and know that the dangers are mostly over reported which blows them all out of proportion and that if, just as in America, you keep away from those areas where danger is more common, your life is rather safe. This is validated by this report which compares numerous crime statistics and is surprisingly revealing.
