Don’t Buy Hamas’ Satanic Propaganda

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki is a formidable fighter in the information war now being waged aggressively by Sharia-supremacists doing business as the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian franchise, Hamas, the government of Iran and their friends and agents inside the Biden administration.
The Rabbi observes that the so-called “Gaza Health Ministry” that is endlessly cited as the authoritative source for the number of civilians killed by the Israelis’ operations there is actually just a vehicle for Hamas propaganda.
So, when you hear that twenty thousand Palestinians – one in every 100 Gazans and seventy-five percent of them women and children – have perished at Israel’s hands, Rabbi Wolicki notes the source is not only unreliable. It makes no distinction between non-combatants and Hamas operatives who generally fight, and die, out of uniform – often behind actual civilians used as human shields.
War is hell. And Hamas is satanic.

Venezuela’s government is one of the world’s most odious. Under the late dictator Hugo Chavez and his successor, Nicholas Maduro, what was among Latin America’s most prosperous and promising nations, has been despotically misruled, plundered and transformed into a dangerous hemispheric beachhead for Iran, Hezbollah, Russia and China.
Of particular concern is the Maduro regime’s practice of issuing Venezuelan passports to Iranian nationals headed here. While they’re hardly the only illegal immigrants we have to worry about, the favored treatment Team Biden has afforded so-called “refugees” from Venezuela means that we are likely accepting large numbers of the mullahs’ jihadists, as well – which amounts to a serious national security threat.
Now, Biden has swapped a top Maduro crony for American hostages, further legitimating an enemy and undermining our allies and interest in achieving his removal. We should be doing the opposite.

What ”Insurrection”?

The Colorado Supreme Court effectively convicted Donald Trump yesterday of inciting an insurrection three years ago. It was on that basis that four of seven justices blocked the former President’s name from appearing on next year’s Republican primary ballot.
But Mr. Trump has not been prosecuted, let alone convicted, on charges of precipitating or otherwise engaging in insurrectionist activity. And the kangaroo court proceedings of the congressional January 6th Committee, that some argue amounts to such an indictment, are increasingly discredited.
Notably, veteran police officer-turned-Representative Clay Higgins affirmed to journalist Lara Logan, on the basis of his own and others’ ongoing forensic work, that – far from being an insurrection – what happened on January 6th appears to have been an inside-job engineered by the FBI and others.
Before his voters are disenfranchised, Donald Trump must have his day in the Supreme Court.

Upon entering the White House, Joe Biden delisted the Sharia-supremacist group known as “Houthi rebels” as a U.S. designated terrorist organization.
Legitimating dangerous, Iran-enabled jihadists engaged in frequent attacks on American allies was a symptom of the Obama-Biden Doctrine: namely, treat your enemies better than your friends.
It guarantees you’ll have more – and stronger – enemies, and far fewer friends.
We’re now reaping the whirlwind of this mad policy. Tens of billions of dollars still flowing to the Iranian mullahs in cash and sanctions relief are enriching, empowering and emboldening them and their masters in the Chinese Communist Party. That’s produced Tehran-backed war on Israel and, increasingly, on merchant shipping vital to the world economy.
America’s assuming responsibility for protecting such shipping while precluding actions that would neutralize the Houthis and punish Iran is an invitation for more, and worse, perils to come.

The Chinese Communist Party’s totalitarianism is on display as it resumes today the prosecution of Hong Kong’s most prominent incarcerated freedom-fighter, Jimmy Lai – this time for sedition.
Mr. Lai’s fate is one he shares with over 7 million people of the former British colony whose freedom the Communists falsely promised to respect for 50 years. Like him, they are now enslaved, albeit in an open-air prison.
Jimmy’s conviction, which is all but guaranteed by Hong Kong’s Beijing-rigged judicial system, is meant to further tighten the screws on the former territory’s citizens – and telegraph what awaits those of Taiwan.
A new documentary entitled “The Hong Konger” powerfully illuminates Jimmy Lai’s courage and sacrifice for freedom. It also shows what the Chinese Communists have in mind for us, a well.

The three Obama-Biden administrations have been the most hostile towards Israel, ever. Notably, Joe Biden deliberately reversed Donald Trump’s efforts to strengthen ties between the two nations and Israel’s preeminent and secure position in the region, emboldening her enemies – especially Iran and its fellow Sharia-supremacist proxies.
Having thus incentivized their invasion of Israel, Team Biden was obliged to profess its support for our ally’s right to defend herself and to destroy Hamas. But the U.S. government has increasingly reverted to its previous policy of subverting the Netanyahu government and Israeli security.
That is now being manifested by, among other things, American insistence that Israel must turn over post-Hamas Gaza to a Palestinian Authority equally committed to her destruction. Such insanity would: translate into a strategic defeat for Israel; intensify threats to her existence; and imperil every other U.S. alliance relationship.
