Putin Punishes Russia’s Key Ally

Posted on by

While the world’s attention has been focused on Ukraine and Gaza, the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) has gone largely unremarked by the international press. Just a few weeks before Hamas launched its attack on Israel, Azerbaijan brutally attacked the Armenian enclave of Artsakh, subjecting it to the same sort of bestial atrocities that have gained international opprobrium when committed by Hamas. The plight of Armenians in Artsakh — who have a legitimate and ancient claim to the territory, unlike the “Palestinians” of Gaza — has gone largely unnoticed.

To help make up the deficit, David Boyajian sends this report.

Putin Punishes Russia’s Key Ally

by David Boyajian

Oddly, few Western writers on the South Caucasus have ever grasped Christian Armenia’s significance as Russia’s only ally and military outpost among the region’s three countries.

Simply put: Were Russia to lose Armenia, the U.S./NATO/EU and pan-Turkism would inevitably dominate the Caucasus/Caspian and, perhaps, beyond. Putin understands this.

Georgia and Azerbaijan are, after all, headed away from Russia.

Though always under Russian pressure, Georgia is an unofficial NATO candidate with sizeable Western investments. NATO countries and Israel have been modernizing its military. Tbilisi is also the middleman for Baku’s gas/oil pipelines extending to Turkey and elsewhere.

Azerbaijan’s fossil fuel deposits, pipelines, and U.S./European commercial/economic ties are well-known.

Less talked about are the Aliyev autocracy’s pan-Turkic ideology; formal alliance with NATO’s Turkey; deployment of international terrorists; dependence on Israeli weapons / military prowess; and longtime backing by America’s Jewish lobby.

Elected ostensibly as a democratic reformist in 2018, Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan grew friendlier with the West than had Yerevan’s previous leaders.

This enraged Putin. That is problematic: Armenia is dependent on its ally for gas, oil, the nuclear power plant, weapons, remittances from Armenians in Russia, and more. However, Pashinyan didn’t break with Moscow.

Nevertheless, Putin resolved to punish and humiliate Armenia to force it totally and irrevocably under Russian domination.

Punish and Humiliate

In 2020, Putin silently but indisputably greenlighted Azerbaijan, Turkey, international terrorists, and Israel to sledgehammer Christian Armenia and Armenian-populated Artsakh/Karabagh into submitting to Russia.

We know that near its borders Russia is extremely NATO-and-terrorist-phobic.

And yet:

In Azerbaijan’s 44-day war in 2020 (Sept. 27-Nov. 9) against Artsakh’s Armenians, Turkey openly delivered American-supplied F-16s, Bayraktar drones containing NATO parts, additional weapons, generals, troops, and several thousand jihadist terrorists to Azerbaijan.

Tellingly, the Kremlin was unruffled.

Moreover, Tel Aviv — the West’s friend, not Moscow’s — overtly resupplied Baku with hi-tech weapons.

The Kremlin, again, voiced no particular alarm.

International Law or Sordid Double Standards

Posted on by

As the bloody conflict in Gaza rages, the more important war is the propaganda war, which Hamas is handily winning, thanks to the help of Western progressives, especially in the universities. Our Israeli correspondent MC sends his observations on these grim events.

International Law or Sordid Double Standards

by MC

Nobody applies ‘international laws, rules and standards’ to Hamas, and we must ask ourselves: Why not?

The first obvious answer is that Hamas is a terrorist group and just does not care about ‘infidel’ morality. Their standards are defined in the Koran, the Sunnah and the Hadith, not in anything coming out of Geneva.

In Europe prior to the Treaty of Westphalia, the whole of the continent was torn apart by religions which were, in fact, political entities, and which recognized no national boundaries. For each religious sect, Catholic and Protestant alike, the ends — i.e. absolute power over the other — justified the means used to get it. Forget do as you would be done by.

That had to stop, and the religious zeal (and personal ambition) eventually had to be tempered by biblical imperatives to ‘love your enemies’. In Christianity the central character was truly a man of peace. Trying to justify a barbaric war of mass extermination against another ‘Christian’ sect proved to be impossible, and the men of conscience finally prevailed.

Thus “Jaw Jaw, not War War” became important.

The wars of the 20th century dictators followed. WW1 was a war of trenches, machine guns and artillery, with a an act of gross stupidity at its beginning. Not so much the assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand, but the follow-up assumption that the Serbian government did it, and the terrible ultimatum issued by Austria-Hungary on the assumption of said ‘guilt’.

The WW2 was the result of the Central Powers failing to learn the lessons of the first war. The Nazis combined a sense of victimhood and resentment arising from WW1 with a schadenfreude of an immortal, undefeatable mythological Volk proclaiming the Germanic people’s right to rule, enslave, occupy and exterminate. To generally play god…

But Islam does not go by Christian norms, and the separation of mosque and state is not even contemplated.

Many people do not believe that the events of 7th October actually took place. I do; I was there. I heard the massacre in Sderot and I saw the aftermath. My son was about three minutes behind the pickup trucks loaded with AK-shooting terrorists.

He was in shock for a week.

Many blame nationalism for WW2, and have striven ever since for globalist socialism based on Marxist principles. But what if the ‘nationalism’ in National Socialism was actually benign, and that it was the ‘socialism’ part that caused all the problems and the huge death toll? It is only then we can suddenly understand that global Marxism is a catastrophe of epic proportions and that the utopia it is meant to bring is nothing but a cruel and impossible pipe dream.

Islam Means Peace — The Peace of the Grave

Posted on by

After studying the process of Islamization for almost twenty years, I’ve come to the conclusion that the critical proportion of Muslims in any given population is approximately 30%. Based on what has happened in various parts of Africa, once there are that many Muslims in the population, the continual violence and threats cause political leaders to bend to the will of Muslims, even though they’re still very much a minority in the country. The nation at that point has effectively been Islamized.

That time is rapidly approaching in several European countries. Given the relevant birth rates, there’s no way to reverse the trend at this point. Much of Western Europe will be Islamized within the next twenty years or so. If you’re a European under the age of fifty, chances are you’ll see it happen in your lifetime. Unless, of course, you’re unfortunate enough to become the victim of a boisterous group of “youths”.

Native Europeans will have a choice: they can either say the shahada and convert to Islam, or they can movie away from the major cities and attempt to establish Muslim-free enclaves where they can live in peace among their own ethnic group. But even if they succeed in the latter attempt, they will still suffer from the depredations of Islam, because Muslims don’t coexist peacefully with their neighbors. Their habitual fecundity will generate an internal population pressure, and the poverty-stricken surplus of faithful Muslims will conduct continual razzias to plunder neighboring infidel areas. Only a well-fortified common border and repeated demonstrations of overwhelming and merciless firepower will dissuade the Muslim zones from their attacks.

It’s not a future that any of us look forward to.

The following video from France provides an excellent overview of the process of Islamization, as the Muslim proportion of a population grows from 0% to 100% over several generations. When the 100% point is reached, a period of peace should begin, but it never happens — lacking infidels, the Muslims take to massacring each other. There are always mushrikun or murtadiin or other less-than-pure practitioners of Islam who must be slain.

Geert Wilders: “It is an Ideological Conflict, Not a Conflict Over Land”

Posted on by

Geert Wilders, the leader of the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV) in the Netherlands, is a well-known philosemite, possibly due to the fact that he lived in Israel during his formative years when he was a teenager.

In the following clip from Dutch TV, the interviewer uses Mr. Wilders’ experiences in Israel as the jumping-off point for a discussion about his views on the Jewish state and the war in Gaza.

Jihad Naïveté

With the war between Israel and Hamas approaching the end of its first month, MC sends his observations from Sderot.


The Battle of Lepanto 1571, by Andrea Vicentino 1603

Jihad Naïveté

by MC

The guns have moved. They are no longer up close, but at some distance away. It seems that Gaza is succumbing — if so, that is good news.

We are also getting some information as to what went wrong on the days leading up to 7th October. If the source is reliable, and I have no reason to believe anything else, then the US taxpayers paid for the blinding of Israeli intelligence (as well as their own).

Yet another case where there is a Brandon snafu.

Islam is a harsh enemy, a venomous spider that hides in well-used places and comes out of the woodwork biting and stinging when least expected. I don’t think October 7th will prove to be unique. Any place which thinks itself safe for being a ‘gun free zone’ should think again.

That is most of Europe, and much of Asia.

I think we have to look at what happened at Kibbutz Nir Am:

Security coordinator

In December 2022, the kibbutz appointed Inbal Rabin-Lieberman as its coordinator of military security. Her duties included helping the security of the kibbutz residents in critical situations until reinforcements from the police or the army could arrive. Before her appointment, the position was held by her uncle Ami Rabin. Rabin-Lieberman became the first woman in the kibbutz to hold such a position. After the appointment, she received congratulations from Ofir Libstein, the head of the regional council of Shaar Ha-Negev.

October 2023 Israel-Hamas war

On October 7, 2023, Rabin-Lieberman heard unusual noises near the kibbutz. She correctly assessed the significance of the threat and quickly distributed weapons among the 12 members of the “quick response group” created from the inhabitants of the village, including her uncle Ami Rabin. To do this, she ran between houses, organizing men in different ambushes around the perimeter of the kibbutz and developed a plan to protect the settlement.

Rabin-Lieberman and her fellow citizens held their positions for three hours. They killed 25 militants terrorists before the IDF arrived.

She evacuated with other residents and stayed in a hotel in Tel Aviv. On October 9, she celebrated her birthday, on which Mayor Ron Huldai passed by to congratulate her.

Referring to terrorists as ‘militants’ is part of the problem that Western civilization has with Islam. In their astoundingly naïve ignorance they believe that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Hamas has been kept ‘bottled up’ in Gaza because Israel has ‘occupied’ their land.

The truth is that Gazans are bottled up in Gaza by both Egypt and Israel because they have a tendency to behave like wild animals, and will attack and kill without provocation.

Enemies of the State

Posted on by

The push for a totalitarian future in Germany is becoming more and more overt.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this post from Dr. Norbert Häring’s blog:

Faeser wants to give domestic secret services the right to socially destroy citizens at will

According to consistent media reports, Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser wants to pass a law that would allow the domestic secret service to blacken citizens who are critical of the government and whom they are investigating, in their social circles. This corresponds to the common definitions of totalitarianism. There are examples of where something like this leads, not only from National Socialism or the GDR, but also from contemporary Germany.

The Federal Agency for Civic Education defines:

“Totalitarianism describes a political rule that demands unrestricted control over the ruled and their complete submission to a (dictatorially predetermined) political goal.”

As first the Süddeutsche Zeitung (paywall) and then Bild and Cicero (paywall) reported, the Federal Minister of the Interior, who failed with the Hessian voters, wants to give the so-called ‘Office for the Protection of the Constitution’, which is now there to protect the government from the constitution, the right to warn any citizens or institutions from among people they are watching. All that is needed is an assessment, which does not require any proof, that they might pose a danger.

Cicero formulates the not entirely apt headline “Welcome to the Republic of Informers!” and the even more apt first sentence:

“With the help of politics, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is increasingly developing into an authority that threatens to endanger democracy itself.”

The headline is not entirely accurate, because informers usually denounce other citizens to the state, whereas here the state denounces citizens to other citizens, which is much worse.

Apparently the traffic light coalition and in particular Faeser act according to the motto “Once your reputation and political career are ruined, things will be governed completely shamelessly (until the next election).”

Thus far, the so-called ‘Office for the Protection of the Constitution’ has only been allowed to inform the police if it encounters specific crime or dangers, and in exceptional cases, with special individual approval from the Ministry of the Interior, also others.

The person affected would not have to be informed about the slander by the floppy hats. At some point, when first the bank account and then the cell phone contract have been terminated, he or she is rejected by clubs and potential landlords, and employers and customers suddenly start staying away or canceling orders, he or she will suspect that something like this could be going on in the background.

The current report by the blogger Hadmut Danisch, a left-hating and freedom-loving but otherwise — as far as I can tell — completely harmless governmental critic, shows that this is anything but irrational pessimism.

The Muslim Underground Surfaces, Part II

Posted on by

As promised, here is the second part of Seneca III’s two-part essay on the Islamization of Britain.

The Muslim Underground Surfaces

Part II: Mosques, the Prepared and the Unprepared

by Seneca III

Prologue: The neologism “dimorphicloyalty” doesn’t exist in any dictionary, but it adequately describes the substance of the unctuous pro-Islam edicts emanating from that privileged rabble pontificating in the Palace of Westminster. Laws, rules and regulations, although occasionally written with the best intentions, often suffer a slip twixt cup and lip and our Courts exist to act as the ultimate arbiters when adjudicating between the intended spirit of such edicts, as opposed to the inventive interpretations and replacements superimposed by the new colonisers and their indigenous supporters. The reality is that Parliament, the courts and the legal profession as a whole have been infiltrated by the enemy within, so there is no hope that any help will be forthcoming from them, because the exact opposite is happening.

The false, constructed crime of ‘Islamophobia’ is getting increasing traction and airing in the media. It would appear that the people promoting this oxymoron are either unaware of the meaning, plain stupid or simply malicious turncoats. For their information, I point out that a phobia is defined in the OED as an irrational fear. Yet, in view of recent events on our streets, I see nothing irrational or fearful about it. It is definitely not a phobia but a natural survival reaction to an obvious threat, a threat that even our pathetic political classes now have to accept as they sit huddled in the Cobra Room in Downing Street deciding whether or not to raise the domestic terror threat from Substantial to Severe.

Mosques: As iterated in Part I, the number of mosques in the UK varies depending on the source and the definition of a mosque. However, a reasonable estimate is that there are around 1,800 to 2,000 mosques. These mosques serve about three and a half million Muslims, who make up about 5% of the UK population. The most common size for a mosque in the UK is between 101 and 200 people.

In the main, mosques are constructed by Muslim contractors and, where Muslim contractors are lacking the major project skills and the necessary licenses as are required by law, it is non-Muslim civil engineers who are contracted to build and certify the main structure, its foundations, its drainage and the overall safety thereof according to the approved plan.

The intricate maze of none-structural-weight-bearing accommodations, store rooms, offices, lavatories, kitchens and powerful sound systems to blast out sermons of hate and calls to Jihad are then carried out by Muslims away from unclean (and observant) infidel eyes. An additional factor is that most of these mosques have been built in areas controlled by Muslim majority Labour councils who appoint Muslim building inspectors to sign off on them, including the maze of internal sub-structures.

This is disturbing, because to my knowledge no mosque in the UK , other than Finsbury Park mosque which was raided by the Security Service in 2003, has ever been searched for any reason whatsoever, never mind for arms, explosives and other forms of contraband using sniffer dogs and cavity detectors. If this thought bothers you, then may I suggest that you carefully read the section on Luton airport and see if you can see any possible connections between it, British mosques and Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s statement that “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets.”

So now to the infamous Finsbury Park Mosque, also known as the North London Central Mosque. It is a five-storey abomination located next to Finsbury Park station close to Arsenal Football Club’s Emirates Stadium in the London Borough of Islington. It is registered as a charity in England, serving the local community in Islington and the surrounding boroughs of North London.

The mosque hit the headlines after Abu Hamza al-Masri, a radical preacher, became its Imam in 1997. In 2003, the mosque was closed by its trustees following the anti-terrorist police raid, and re-opened in 2005 under new leadership. New leadership? Well, Hooky Hamza is certainly no longer there, as he is otherwise occupied enjoying life in an American high security hospitality centre, but the Jihadi Doctor Abdul Wahid, a.k.a. the GP Dr Wahid Asif Shaida, holds a high position on its executive council.

As head of Hizb ut-Tahrir in the UK, Abdul Wahid celebrated the barbaric Hamas terror attacks that slaughtered 1,400 Jewish men, women and children earlier this month as a ‘very welcome punch on the nose’ to Israel, but he has also spent more than twenty years practising as a family doctor under his real name, Dr Wahid Asif Shaida.

Wahid told the baying crowd: “Victory is coming and everyone has to choose a side. Whose side are you going to be on?” but some patients told the MoS his leadership of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain called into question whether he was capable of fairly treating Jewish, female or gay patients. Wahid is also said to have a close association with the infamous Finsbury Park Mosque. (More on that hotbed of Jihad later.)

[Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international Islamist movement seeking to unite Muslims under one Islamic caliphate. Hizb ut-Tahrir members have been linked to violent acts in multiple countries. The group itself has been banned in at least 13 countries, including many Muslim-majority countries, but not by the vote-whoring dhimmis of Westminster.]

A security source also questioned whether Wahid would follow his legal duty as a GP to report patients with signs of extremism to the Prevent anti-terror scheme, saying: “What guarantee is there he will refer extremists when he himself is one?” Professor Anthony Glees, a terrorism expert, added “A GP who glorifies Islamic extremism like this not only puts his patients at risk, but is a risk to national security.”

Labour MP Khalid Mahmood added that…

Report From Sderot: Three Weeks

Tanks have rolled into Gaza: the latest from MC.

Report From Sderot: Three Weeks

by MC

It is hard for most people to assimilate that ‘moderate’ Muslims are either playacting, or they are bad Muslims who do not respect the Koran, Hadith or Sunna.

It is also hard for them to understand that most people are brainwashed, some by their cultural norms, others by exposure to incessant TV propaganda. Until my early twenties, I was a socialist because I knew no other influence. I had never met a true conservative and my pro-Nazi aunt and uncle were Nazi socialists — very confusing until I realized that the socialism in National Socialism was not only real but substantial.

Muslim National Socialism gets an easy ride in the USA. Islam looked at the stupidity of ‘anti-Semitism’ and groups like the ADL who picked up on every possible nuance of (possibly accidental) Jew abuse, and squealed vociferously. They decided that they, too, needed to create their own parallel dialogue in order to give themselves victim status, and to distract idiotic attention away from Islamic warmongering, violence and terrorism.

The gullible fell for it, hook, line and stinker. ‘Islamophobia’ came into the world in a miasma of lies and deceits. People who fear Islam are not phobic: Islam is currently engaged in about 50 conflicts around the world, and in nearly all of them the Muslims are the aggressors, the occupiers and the persecutors. Islam is a religion of war, occupation and forced conversion at sword point.

Yesterday evening the bombardment of Gaza intensified, and it appears the tanks went in.

But also, the road blocks around Sderot have disappeared. The IDF are satisfied that all the terrorists have now been rounded up.

It is sad to see that some 50% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 support Hamas and the Palestinians. Strange, because the Palestine Authority hates Hamas, even if it falls short of openly criticising them. Isn’t ignorance bliss!

Back to the propaganda: one of the problems is that when the government lies to ‘we the people’ it undermines society in a big way, and support for Hamas at the student level can be regarded as a huge conspiracy theory based upon the idea that the ‘Palestinians’ were forcibly ejected from their own country.

The Palestine Liberation Organisation was an invention of the KGB in 1963. Before that, Palestinians were Jews born and raised in Palestine Mandate territory. Between the wars, as a consequence of the defeat of the Ottomans and the removal of their colonies in the Levant, Britain was made responsible for the development of the mandated territory as a Jewish homeland. But Britain had no intention of allowing Jewish home rule because Ben Gurion and Weizmann were proto-communists, and Israel was strategically placed as the Doorway to India. They gave 78% of the territory mandated for Jews to the ‘Palestinians’ and set the Hashemites (the Lawrence of Arabia crowd) over them.

Britain then populated the remaining mandate Palestine with Muslims from the surrounding lands instead of the Jews they were mandated to settle. My wife’s grandfather’s brother from Baghdad tried to emigrate to the new ‘Jewish’ homeland but was rejected by the British (circa 1933). He apparently went across to the other queue where Muslims were being processed (in Arabic) and gained entry without difficulty.

MC sends this update as a ground invasion of Gaza looms.

Report From Sderot: Day 18

by MC

It is time we started once more to look at life and death as Yah sees it, not as a ‘snowflake’ sees it.

In 1915, the first Kitchener Divisions were flung into the maelstrom of the battle of Loos. On the first and second days the BEF had almost broken through, but they ran out of men.

The 21st and 24th divisions had just arrived in France. They were the spearhead of the volunteers of August and September of 1914; they were trained but unblooded. They were also thirty miles behind the lines because General French did not want them in the battle. But Haig was desperate, and forced them to march, overnight, without food or water, to advance over the ‘Field of Corpses’ In their lines they walked/marched towards the German machine guns, and died, well, most of them.

Haig went on the defensive and managed to saddle French with the butchery bill. Loos set the pattern for the rest of the war, and also the debacle of 1st July 1916 at the Somme. Particularly where the “Sheffield Pals” marched towards the almost undamaged wire and machine guns at Serre.


The Sheffield Pals on parade outside Sheffield Midland Station

The WW1 ‘Tommy’ was not particularly religious, but on the whole believed in life after death and going to a better place. His main fear at places like Loos was letting his pals down (through cowardice, etc.). On the whole he placed his trust in his God and advanced towards the enemy trenches. He did his duty.

Israelis are very similar, and on the whole, put their trust and reliance on God and their rifles. They will, if asked, advance over the open ground in the face of sustained enemy fire.

The IDF advancing on Gaza will have much the same problem as at Hulloch and Serre. The British in 1917 were repulsed twice in front of Gaza. Eventually Allenby, taking over from Chetwode, decided to attack Beer’sheva instead of Gaza and encircle Gaza by marching along the Wadi Shikma, a tourist route that still exists today.


Nahal Shikma where the Wadi Shikma track crosses the Nahal (stream). In the wet season this can become a raging torrent in just a few minutes, 5 feet deep and lethal.

The invading IDF troops must advance over 2km of flat ground with little to no cover. They will have tanks and APCs of various sorts, but Hamas have antitank missiles…

Ragnarök?

In a follow-up to his previous post, Seneca III considers the possibility that the plain of Megiddo may lie just ahead of us.

Ragnarök?

by Seneca III

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.’s changing tone concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict and his latest oblique comment to try to restrain Israel’s intent to enter Gaza in force, attempt to recover the hostages and destroy Hamas in totality, is disturbing on several levels.

We know that whatever that near brain-dead old fool says is not of his own making, but that of whomever is pulling his strings behind the scenes, and they, being deep in the shadows, are virtually impossible to identify.

Nonetheless, do not his puppet masters understand that if Israel is not permitted to end this conflict with a victory achieved by the use of conventional means and weapons and is thus faced with inevitable extinction, it will not go meekly into oblivion but will do its damnedest to take all of its Muslim enemies with it?

Israel is understood to be in possession of somewhere between 100 and 200 nuclear warheads and a variety of means to deliver them, including advanced IBCMs. (Iran also has nukes, thanks to Obama et. al., but in limited numbers and with relatively unsophisticated delivery systems.)

The denizens of Washington DC and their doppelgangers in the rest of the Western capitals are but idiot children at play in the fields of the Lord if they are not focussing on that possibility, which could indeed be initiated by the demented Ayatollahs of Iran and their Republican Guard enforcers who have seized absolute control of that ancient kingdom and remain a global threat, always with one eye on an eternity of boozing and debauchery with self-replicating virgins forever on tap in the weird Muslim Paradise.

However, a contrary assessment might well be that Western governments, and, indeed, some Muslim ones, are fully aware of the possible ramifications of Iran’s pre-medieval mindset, and are also prepared to sacrifice Israel in order to avoid a wider nuclear conflict on a much larger scale.

These are tense times indeed, because the historic mental instability of the followers of the prophet knows no bounds.

Report From Sderot: Day 15, and Hamas is Winning

Posted on by

MC sends the latest grim news from the border with Gaza.


Fortifications at Kibbutz Revivim

Report From Sderot: Day 15, and Hamas is Winning

by MC

Sad to say, Hamas is wining. They are winning because whatever Israel does, the world hates Jews and regards them with deep, deep suspicion. They will say nice words, and do all they can to make sure Israel cannot win.

The Lutheran Church openly despises Jews and supports Hamas’ atrocities because they believe Israelis have kept Gaza penned up for decades (they forgot to tell us that the Egyptians too, have closed their border with Gaza). Martin Luther hated Jews, so it is inevitable, I suppose.

The Ivy League hates Jews, and will take no action against students and faculty supporting Hamas terrorism.

The Roman Catholic Church, and especially its revolutionary Pope, appears to have a very ambivalent attitude towards Jews. Even after Vatican II declared that the Jews were not “Christ Killers” that doctrine persists. One must asked oneself why Jesus was tried (by the Herodian ‘Jewish’ elite in the middle of the night). Was it to ensure that the average ‘Jew in the street’ who supported Yahushua (Jesus) was presented with a ‘fait accompli’ come the next morning?

And those awful left-wing Jews who are so arrogant and ignorant. Do they not realize that they are next on the butchery shopping list? The DNC needs their money, and it is probably the only reason that Brandon is making a lot of noise (and screwing the process through his inaction).

Hamas is winning because of the hostages. They are the ace of trumps, providing a lever that can be twisted and turned to squeeze White House policy any way but win.

My son has now been at the Northern Border for two weeks, all of it on the front line. In civilian life he is one of an elite squad clearing mines, of which there are many in Israel going back to 1916. Sometimes he brings back little bits of military antiquity.

But two weeks in the front line without relief is not good news in military terms, and Sleepy Joe seems to be insisting that Israel hold back on its proposed invasion of Gaza. Ostensibly this is to enable further hostage negotiations. With 200+ hostages, that could mean that he never needs to authorise the invasion, and we all sit comfortably and do nothing.

President Jefferson was faced with the same problem. The Barbary Pirates (also Muslim fundamentalists) were commerce-raiding and taking hostages/slaves in exactly the same way as Hamas (they had read the same book, of course). But President Jefferson was a man of integrity and action. He created the USMC and put them ashore at Tripoli. The Barbary Pirates quickly surrendered. Muslims have no stomach for a real fight against hardened troops. Martell and Sobieski demonstrated this.

The Muslim way is to attack a soft target and brutalize the victims in a way that will intimidate all those in the immediate area, such that they will surrender without a fight. This is all chronicled in the Koran. The book of war, occupation and submission.

Salah at the Brandenburger Tor? Say it ain’t so!

When I saw the above photo, it brought to mind the words spoken by Riddley Walker (in the eponymous novel by Russell Hoban), upon seeing the “shyning of them broakin machines” at Fork Stoan: “O, what we ben! And what we come to!”

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the online news portal Nius:

Show of power in the capital: Islamists pray in front of the Brandenburg Gate!

It is a demonstration of Islamist power in the heart of the German capital! Strictly believing Muslims knelt in prayer in front of the Brandenburg Gate on Saturday evening.

Numerous social media accounts from the Islamist scene called for this.

Pray together for our dead brothers and sisters… bla, bla, bla… bring your prayer mat.

On Instagram, many accounts celebrated the prayer campaign by singing Quranic suras — another clear sign of Islamism.

[Video]

“With Sheikh, we would like to peacefully raise our voices against the suffering of our brothers and sisters and perform the Isha prayer together,” the announcement said.

Participants were asked to bring Palestine flags or something similar. As can be seen from the pictures, the predominantly young Arab men complied with this request. Videos also show passers-by watching the scene in disbelief and then moving on.

[Video]

It is a particularly cynical symbolic act: The Islamist prayer rally took place in exactly the same place and just one day before the planned expression of solidarity with Israel and all the victims of Hamas. This will happen on Sunday in front of the Brandenburg Gate.

The Gaza War — No Worries

Posted on by

Our Dutch correspondent H. Numan sends his analysis of the ongoing war in Gaza between Hamas and Israel.

The Gaza war — no worries

by H. Numan

We’re hearing very bad news from our highly biased media. Sure, they don’t (openly) approve of Hamas’ attack, but Israel had it coming! Of course they report everything. But they’d much rather publish unproven accusations about Israel than proven war crimes by Hamas. One of the latest hoaxes that goes around is that the war might spread to the entire region. That’s a real New York sandwich (baloney)!

All support for Hamas or the Palestinians rests on woefully naïve presumptions. For example: “Israel should respond proportionately”. Really? When did that ever happen? The US fleet should have sailed from Pearl Harbor, and sunk a number of Japanese battleships? That’s ranting nonsense. It’s not just ranting, it goes much further. It’s insane. If Israel should respond proportionately, they have to intentionally rape and kill Palestinian babies, torture Palestinian women and children, and intentionally kill 1,600 civilians. Then call it a day. Anyone using that argument has no idea at all what he or (usually she) is talking about. I don’t doubt that many more Palestinians are being killed right now, and will be killed. That’s what happens in war. The difference is the intention. The Israeli army takes great pride and care in trying to reduce the number of victims, while Palestinians take as much pride and care in maximizing the number of victims. As far as I know, the Israeli army is the only army that sends SMS to occupants of a building that’s going to be bombed.

Another unreasonable worry is Iran. “Israel has to restrain itself, otherwise Iran might have to act.” Really? With what? They are already involved up to their eyeballs. Just about every weapon, explosive or piece of munition used by Hamas comes from Iran. They can’t get any more involved unless they send in the Iranian army! There are three very good reasons why Iran will not do that.

1.   It’s a pretty long march to get there. Walking, driving, flying. Doesn’t matter. The Iranian army isn’t capable of doing that.
2.   Supporting the most vicious beasts since WW2 is one thing, actively siding with them quite another. The moment Iran openly sides with Hamas and declares war on Israel, they lose whatever support they had worldwide. And become the real pariah of the Middle East.
3.   Iran jumping in means that America has to jump in too. Something that worries Tehran a lot more than anything else. All America has to do is precision bomb the oil distribution facilities in the Persian Gulf and Iran is out of money and out of the war. Even better: America can do that with no US casualties, and very few on the Iranian side.
 

“Israel has to be careful of Hezbollah!” warn progressive liberals. You can read also: fashionable anti-Semites. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization in Lebanon, it is not the Lebanese government. Israel made it very clear to the Lebanese government that they would be personally held responsible if Hezbollah goes to war. Personal means exactly that. The people who actually are in charge. Not institutions, no letters of complaint. They themselves. There is no love lost between Lebanon and Israel, but this warning is something that the Lebanese government takes pretty seriously.

“Israel is depopulating Gaza, and drives them into the Sinai to die!” — another silly claim from our progressive media. They continue by insinuating Egypt is complicit. Wrong. Egypt HATES Hamas and wants nothing to do with Gaza. Nothing at all. Except using it for target practice, if that were possible. Before the Israeli withdrawal they offered control of it to Egypt — which Egypt refused.

Report From Sderot: Two Weeks

Report From Sderot: Two Weeks

by MC

So we are at the stage where, as usual, Hamas is manipulating the world media and plucking at the heartstrings of the gullible. The BBC’s excuse for disseminating Pallywood fiction is that the ‘explosion’ at the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was too big to be a Quassam…

Unfortunately, at the time the PIJ were shooting the bigger Grad missiles, longer range with larger warheads. Grads are a WW2 missile and likely to be some 6o years old and somewhat rusty, it is no surprise that Hamas and PIJ have had hundreds of misfires so far. Much of the past destruction in Gaza has been caused by Hamas’ relentless and ruthless obsession with its jihad against Israel.

Hamas took power when elected by the Gazan Palestinian ‘civilians’ in 2006. The election manifesto was to pursue aggression against Israel and Jews as a perpetual ‘holy war’.


Hamas has no mandate of care for Gazan civilians, and are quite happy to dig up water and sewage pipes to make missiles, and then blame Israel for insanitary conditions. They used conscripted slave labour to construct extensive terror tunnels, and then executed the labourers so they would not tell the world of their plight.

In other words, Hamas is a vile dictatorship, as bad as any of the vicious regimes that had to be put down in the 20th century. There is now not one thing that the Nazis did that Hamas has not done, too. But Hamas is a victim of the West’s ‘Islamophobia’, and thus a woke special case…

To be Muslim is to be above criticism. To be Jewish is to be despised (and envied).

But the BBC, Harvard students, the Democrats, and the left generally all support Hamas against the “filthy, vile, Jewish capitalists”.

Of course, this time these lefties cannot yell their usual “disproportionate response” mantra. What is a proportionate response to rape, murder and torture of children and babies?

What kind of person rapes a young woman then stands up and shoots her?

What kind of person beheads a baby with an entrenching tool?

Israel is angry, but the rest of the world seems to be more concerned that poor ‘innocent’ Palestinians are hungry and thirsty.
