Under the banner “Middle East Crisis,” The New York Times has attempted to reframe the current Hamas-Israel war into a crisis in which the Israeli military targets Palestinian Arab civilians.
The headlines refer to Israeli “troop presence” while the accompanying picture has rubble with a caption of “displaced Palestinians in Rafah, Gaza, last week.” One cannot find any mention of the Hamas.
The article continues about the “Israeli military” and its “ground troops” reviewing the reduction in the number “of the soldiers.” It added about the “98th Division” leaving “to recuperate and prepare for future operations in southern Gaza,” an area “where more than a million people have sought refuge.” There was no description of Hamas soldiers.
People should stop wondering why there is amnesia about Hamas’s atrocities and Palestinian support to butcher Jews. It is a narrative of emotions-not-facts that vomit on social media, and alternative facts spread by the anti-Israel mainstream media.
People debate the meaning of the phrase “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free.” Many believe it to be a genocidal chant to destroy the Jewish State of Israel and kill the Jews living there, echoing the stated intentions of the political-terrorist group Hamas. Others have said that it is simply a call for all people to live in the area to be free, in a democratic binational state (although neither Israelis nor Palestinian Arabs want such outcome according to polls).
Perhaps an easy way to decipher whether people yelling “Free Palestine” are pro-Hamas or pro-Palestinian is to ask their opinion about whether all people should have dignity and rights in the land. Specifically, do they support Jews being able to pray openly in mass at their holiest site of the Jewish Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem? Would they further support rebuilding a Jewish Temple on the site?
Currently, Jews are denied the basic human right to pray at their holiest site because radical Islamists like Hamas demand that the site be a purely Islamic site. If the chanters want to disassociate themselves from the genocidal charter, and advocate for mutual dignity and rights, they should add another chant “All over the Temple Mount, Jewish prayer will abound!”
Failure to actively support full Jewish rights throughout the Old City of Jerusalem and especially on the Temple Mount, marks the chanters of “Free Palestine” as backers of a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization and supporting the destruction of an ally. Those people should face the full ramifications of supporting such genocidal killers.
Incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York’s 16th District is so deeply unpopular that almost every single local Democratic committee has come out in support of his popular opponent in the Democratic primary, Westchester County Executive George Latimer. Bowman’s histrionics, lies, hypocrisy and race-baiting have long made him unpopular among his constituents.
Bowman has continued to ratchet up his insanity, and is now calling his opponent(s) ‘the devil.’
I kid you not.
In an April 6 X/tweet he was proud to post as he walked the streets of Westchester, Bowman screamed at full volume (0:33) “Always remember this. The devil’s a liar!! And will always be a liar!”
Is Bowman accusing mild-mannered, hard-working, progressive Latimer of being the devil? The thousands of people backing Latimer?
Jamaal Bowman is proving every day that he is an unhinged madman who should be removed from public office – and away from children – as quickly as possible. Volunteer and donate to George Latimer here.
The alt-right and White Supremacists have long vilified wealthy Jews as out to destroy the world for their own selfish profit. It was one theme of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and some right-wingers condemnation of Jewish billionaire George Soros today. The alt-left and Radical Muslims are doing the same, mostly around the Jewish State.
The Palestinian political-terrorist group Hamas led the charge. In its foundational 1988 charter, the militant jihadists lied that Jews started global wars to amass huge wealth in Article 22. It added to the antisemitic point in Article 32, that Jews’ greed will make them want to steal land throughout the Middle East like they did in Palestine.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who considers herself a Palestinian-American, echoed these sentiments and took the slander to the shores of the United States. In a speech delivered to the Democratic Socialists of America in 2021, she said that Jews “exploit the rest of us, for their own profit,” and do it everywhere “from Gaza to Detroit… [as a] way to control people, to oppress people.” To be clear, that this is a global Jewish conspiracy, she added “open the curtain andlook behind the curtain, it’s the same people who make money and—yes they do—off of racism.”
The money and oppression theme of the extreme left and radical jihadists has started to identify specific names instead of generic Jews and Zionists. The current primary targets are Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s Jewish son-in-law, and AIPAC which backs pro-Israel policies and Democratic and Republican politicians supporting those policies.
Kushner worked with Trump in creating the Abraham Accords which brought normalization agreements between Israel and four Muslim-majority countries. He also put forward an extensively thought-out plan to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict which went nowhere. His views on the current Hamas war from Gaza were therefore sought out at the Harvard Kennedy School as part of a series of talks with people with a wide range of views on the current war.
Kushner commented that Biden spent no time on the region until now and bemoaned the fact that Hamas used the last seventeen years to invest in a battlefield infrastructure with hundreds of miles of underground tunnels rather than build a functioning economy. He noted that there was no reason that Gaza could not have become beautiful luxury waterfront had its leaders had more peaceful intentions. Unfortunately, Israel now needs to rid the region of the evil extremists and Kushner thought that maybe to protect Gaza’s civilians during the war, Israel should allocate a section of Israel’s Negev as a safe haven where they could be relocated until Hamas was defeated.
The alt-left chose to deliberately cherry-pick parts of Kushner’s comments to suggest that he was in favor of ethnically cleansing Gaza, killing every Arab and then putting up luxury condos with Trump’s name on top. It was a classic ‘Rothschild’ smear in which Jews advocate for war against non-Jews to steal and make money. Cenk Uygur, an alt-woke candidate for president who runs a site called The Young Turks, said that Kushner was “salivating over ethnic cleansing opportunities,” to get rich. Seemingly knowing that his comments reeked of antisemitism he added that you couldn’t call him an antisemite because Jews are like “the boy who cried wolf.”
AIPAC is the accompanying bogeyman for the extremist left and militant jihadists. The left-wing fringe group Justice Democrats launched a campaign called ‘Reject AIPAC’ in which they demonize AIPAC as a shady organization launched by Zionists and billionaires to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
The radical politicians backed by Justice Democrats echo the evil Jewish money-theme, that rich Jews are targeting American minorities so Zionists can go on killing and stealing.
The alt-left attempts to invert the narrative when Jews point out the antisemitism, declaring that Zionists are Islamophobic in yet another disgusting smear attempt.
Antisemites have always come in a variety of political stripes and colors but are always easy to identify by their ‘Rothschild’-vitriol against Jews as foreign, racist meddlers in local matters who are consumed by unquenched greed.
Does a democratic society really need to showcase the worst of its citizenry? Do racists and antisemites, celebrants of rapists and murderers, people trying to burn down society, need someone exactly like them sitting in congress?
According to the Anti Defamation League, about 10% of America harbors antisemitic attitudes. Should we seek a congress with 53 antisemites? If the same figure is racist, should we elect 53 members of the KKK into congress?
While democratic societies believe in free speech, we are not called upon to endorse hateful views. We certainly don’t need to elevate people into positions of power which we’ve seen happen across the political spectrum.
One of the worst of the worst is Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York’s 16th District. He’s a compulsive liar, hypocrite, race baiter, protector of rapists and murderers. He’s been censured by a bipartisan House because of his actions, and should have been charged with a felony for deliberately and falsely pulling a fire alarm (which he pleaded down to a misdemeanor to settle the matter quickly).
Bowman is a combination of the worst traits of some of the most hated people in congress including George Santos, Rashida Tlaib and Marjorie Taylor Greene. He’s an embarrassment to his district, congress and the country.
We need a country based on respect and civil discourse. We need representatives in congress who consider the needs of all their constituents. We need to oust those people who are the embodiment of the toxic swamp tearing society apart.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman is an ongoing embarrassment to Congress and his district in New York’s lower Westchester County.
There have historically been very few members of congress to be publicly and officially censured by a bipartisan vote, and Bowman is a lowlight among them. He intentionally pulled a fire alarm in a government building putting thousands of lives at risk, just to delay a vote in congress. He then lied about it and pleaded to a misdemeanor.
Bowman is seemingly incapable of being embarrassed himself. He is a compulsive liar and hypocrite, even by the standards of D.C. politicians. He slammed members who didn’t vote for the Infrastructure Bill, then voted against it, then lied to his constituents that he actually voted for it, and then smugly took a selfie with extremists members of “the Squad” just as President Biden ridiculed him for taking credit for a bill he rejected.
His constituents have taken notice of Bowman’s histrionics and hyperbole rather than passing legislation that benefits them. While Bowman won the 2022 Democratic primaries in a three-way race, the Democratic establishment has unified in coming out to support his rival, Westchester County Executive George Latimer.
The entire local Democratic establishment has turned on an incumbent in a highly unusual action. They have rallied to Latimer who has made a career delivering actual results for his constituents, rather than behave like Bowman who compulsively runs to Tik Tok to make another incendiary video as if he were a 16-year old hunting for clicks and “likes.”
Latimer’s campaign is “Results, not rhetoric,” which perfectly sums up the race in the Democratic primary to be held on June 25, 2024.
Latimer is actually being diplomatically kind. Bowman is not just a blowhard; he is an embarrassment seeking to inflame the country.
It is rumored that Israel may soon ban Al Jazeera, the Qatar-owned media company.
Qatar is Hamas’s principle backer (nearly $2 billion), and the oil rich kingdom has long used its state-owned Al Jazeera and AJ+ media platforms to broadcast the Palestinian political-terrorist group’s propaganda. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on X/Twitter on April 1 that “the terrorist channel Al Jazeera will no longer broadcast from Israel. I intend to act immediately in accordance with the new law to stop the channel’s activities.”
At a press conference in Washington, D.C. later the same day, a journalist asked White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre about the potential Israeli ban. She said that it is “concerning,” and that “the United States supports the critically important work journalists around the world do.”
White House Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre on April 1, 2024 discussing Israel’s possible ban of Al Jazeera
Yet the United States itself bans terrorist-supporting media.
In December 2004, the United States banned Al Manar, the satellite station run by the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah, which is backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, much like Hamas. In June 2021, the U.S. blocked and/or seized the websites of several dozen Iranian sites for spreading “disinformation.”
More recently, the U.S. was influential in getting social media sites Facebook and Instagram to shut down Hamas’s postings. Right now, the U.S. government is trying to ban the entire social media platform of Tik Tok which is indirectly owned by the Chinese government due to security concerns, even though the country is not a designated terrorist entity.
Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world and uses its vast fossil fuel deposits to fund the murderous jihadists of Hamas, as well as radical jihadist professors and student groups at American universities. Despite knowing this, the Biden Administration offered a hypocritical defense of Al Jazeera.
The U.S. government should not only reverse the White House press secretary’s remarks about Israel’s potential actions against Al Jazeera, but should support the effort and consider doing the sames in the U.S. as well.
There is a deep deformity in Gaza’s culture and society. It predates Hamas’s takeover of the region and the subsequent blockade imposed by Egypt and Israel. It has been constant for over two decades.
Palestinian Arabs poll themselves every three months and ask people in Gaza and the West Bank whether they are in favor of killing Jewish civilians inside of Israel. From 2001 to 2005, when Israel still controlled Gaza, 62.1% of Gaza’s adult population were in favor of killing Jewish civilians. That percentage increased to 65.3% of Gazans since Hamas took over the region completely in 2007.
With about 1.2 million adults in Gaza, the number who supported terrorism was roughly 800,000 before the October 7 Simchat Torah War. As Israel is now actively destroying Hamas and its military infrastructure, more Gazans are starting to turn away from their genocidal aspirations according to the latest PCPSR poll.
Americans understand the noxious hatred and violent attitudes of Hamas, and support Israel in its current defensive war according to a March 2024 Pew Research poll. Americans have read Hamas’s antisemitic foundational charter and see the Nazi-like evil of Palestinian intent to wipe Jews out of the land of Israel.
But there are powerful antisemites and anti-Zionists in America trying to protect Hamas. Rep. Jamaal ‘Fire Alarm’ Bowman lied (once again) to the media and claimed that Americans support a permanent ceasefire to allow Hamas to live to kill Jewish civilians again. He is banking on obtaining campaign funding from anti-Zionists and Jew haters outside of his district, as he aligned his fundraising with notorious antisemite and anti-Zionist Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
There are roughly three-quarters of a million Gazans who dream of spilling Jewish blood in the streets of Israel, and there are two American members of congress – Bowman and Talib – who are fundraising to enable them to commit such massacres.
But the UNSC has refused to collectively condemn the Palestinian political-terrorist group Hamas when several resolutions were introduced over the past two months.
The UNSC ultimately did pass Resolution 2728 calling for a ceasefire for the remainder of Ramadan, and only the United States, United Kingdom, Russia and Israel condemned Hamas and its attacks during their comments. The rest of the council remained silent and refused to endorse a prior US-led proposal which included formal language condemning Palestinian terrorism.
The countries which refused to condemn Palestinian barbarism included:
Algeria
China
Ecuador
France
Guyana
Japan
Malta
Mozambique
Korea
Sierra Leone
Slovenia
Switzerland
Note that in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 atrocities, the UN Security Council did not issue any statement condemning the Palestinian barbarity. It did not address the attack until Russia tried to pass a ceasefire resolution a week later on October 16, to protect Hamas terrorists as Israel responded.
In sharp contrast to the brutal slaughter of 1,200 people in Israel and taking of 250 hostages, the UNSC issued the following denunciation of terrorism just one day after six people were killed in Pakistan on March 26:
“The members of the Security Council condemned in the strongest terms the heinous and cowardly terrorist attack near Besham, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan, on 26 March which resulted in the deaths of five Chinese nationals and one Pakistani national.
“The members of the Security Council expressed their deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and to the Governments of Pakistan and China, and they wished a speedy and full recovery to those who were injured.
“The members of the Security Council reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security.
“The members of the Security Council underlined the need to hold perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism accountable and bring them to justice. They urged all States, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant Security Council resolutions, to cooperate actively with the Governments of Pakistan and China, as well as all other relevant authorities in this regard.
“The members of the Security Council reiterated that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed. They reaffirmed the need for all States to combat by all means, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and other obligations under international law, including international human rights law, international refugee law and international humanitarian law, threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts.“
Imagine the UNSC issuing such a statement for Israel. The failure to do so after October 7 sums up the United Nations.
The United Nations is deeply and systemically anti-Israel and the United States caved to the global body rather than lead in a principled fashion. It is imperative for the United States and other moral countries to send as much military aid to Israel as possible to both finish Hamas and prepare for war against Iran’s other proxies which surround the Jewish state, and simultaneously cut funding to the horrific global agency.
The United States abstained from a United Nations Security Council Resolution 2728 because the language calling for a ceasefire “did not contain a condemnation of Hamas” (22:35). The reality is that the United Nations needs to do more than just “condemn Hamas” as advocated by the US (23:30). They have to join the US in the goal “to defeat Hamas” (25:58).
According to the latest PCPSR March 2024 poll, the ongoing war has finally made Gazans start to change their attitudes. From September 2023 (pre-war) to March 2024, the percentage of Gazans who support a two state solution jumped from 34% to 62% (figure 28). Further, the percentage of Gazans supporting violence dropped from 56% in December 2023 to 39% in March 2024 (figure 29). Overall, the percentage of Palestinian Arabs (Gazans and West Bankers) favoring armed Arab militias patrolling the West Bank also declined from 56% in December 2023 to 41% in March 2024 (figure 31).
Yet the United Nations takes actions exactly opposed to their stated goals. Nations voice support for an immediate end to the war and movement towards a two-state solution even though those things are completely incompatible. The path to two-states is moving Gazans out of harm’s way so that Israel can finish the neutering of Hamas. Advancing a ceasefire and leaving Hamas intact will continue the ongoing hostilities for years.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh celebrated the passing of the UN resolution while in Iran. He said “Although this resolution came late and there may be some gaps that need to be filled, the resolution itself indicates that the Israeli occupation is experiencing unprecedented political isolation.” He sees the UN saving his genocidal approach towards the conflict on the eve of its potential destruction.
The United Nations is the major roadblock to peace, continuing to tell the descendants of “Palestinian refugees” that they will get to move into Israel, and protecting the antisemitic political-terrorist group Hamas. The United States should not just stop payments to UNRWA but the entire United Nations.
