It was 1973 in Jerusalem. I was 21 years old walking through the Arab section of the Old City. I was sporting a massive afro and wearing an army jacket with the name “Elder” above the pocket, a gift from my little brother who was serving. I heard footsteps, so I stopped, turned around, and saw about 10 smiling kids following me. I kept walking until I heard louder footsteps. I stopped, turned around, and saw maybe 20 kids following me. I kept walking until I heard even more footsteps. Now there were 50 kids. So, I stopped, turned around, and smiled, and they surrounded me.

FTA - "The hatred of Israel and Jews is instilled in the Palestinians from birth. Antisemitism is taught in schools, in mosques, in music, in television shows, in the news, in movies, and, of course, in the speeches of political leaders." You do it by eradicating the disease. The IDF is the medicine that will eradicate the disease. Haniyeh, your days are numbered, pal.

The commander of the Task Force, Vice Admiral William Halsey observes the carnage from the bridge of the Enterprise and angrily utters one of what will be many memorable quotes from him during the war, “Before we’re through with ’em, the Japanese language will be spoken only in hell!”

You dont. You cant. The most you can do is hold both sides at gunpoint for a while. As soon as you put the gun down, they will go back to killing each other again. It is their mission in life to kill. Its not our fight and neither side is our friend. Best to stay out of it and left them do what they do best.

How to defeat a culture of hate? I suggest that how the Allies treated Nazi Germany provides a good example: 1. Isolate the entire country, and make an international pariah of its ideology of hate 2. kill or imprison the leaders and the worst offenders 3. install a provisional govt that outlaws all promotion of its hateful ideology 4. reform all social institutions to eliminate the ideology (education, business, judicial, municipal, etc) Does that mean outlawing Islam? Until Islam reforms itself to join the human race, they have left the rest of us, the dhimmis, with no other choice.

You start by killing the active Hamas fighters, as is now being done. Then you absolutely preclude Hamas or Hamas-like group to be involved in the management of Gaza. You make Gaza more like the West Bank, where Israel is in charge of security and access. You make it clear that if any Hamas like groups start to form, they will be rooted out and treated with extreme prejudice. You clamp down on Gaza to maintain security for Israel. None of this is ideal. Realistically, you cannot have a mad dog enemy on your border and expect peace and security. However, you can prove that assaults will be met with overwhelming force. Once Gaza is contained, amplify the lesson with Hezbollah in Lebannon. At some point maybe a better solution can be found but for now, the terrorists need to be cowed into submission.

An elderly woman has launched a $350,000 case against her Washington city and its YMCA for banning her from a swimming pool after she objected to a trans woman using its women's locker room. Julie Jaman, 82, says Port Townsend and its Olympic Peninsula YMCA defamed her and unlawfully banned her from the center and seeks compensation for 'emotional distress' from the incident in July 2022. Her lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon, a GOP official who heads the Center for American Liberty, this week sent the city and its YMCA a 259-page complaint, urging them to pay up and apologize or face a lawsuit.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the Turkish President, and the rude-and-crude master of all he surveys from the 1,100 room “White Palace” that he had the government build for him in Istanbul, at a cost to the Turkish taxpayers of $615 million. But when a man like Erdogan comes along only once a millennium, why should the national exchequer skimp? [SNIP] Erdogan compared Netanyahu to historical fascist leaders, stating that “Netanyahu earned his place alongside Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin.” [SNIP] “We cannot be coerced into designating Hamas as a terrorist organization. We communicate with them openly and stand behind them.”

American taxpayers' money is ending up in the hands of the Taliban, according to a U.S. government watchdog, which found that bundles of cash flown into Afghanistan by the United Nations are finding their way to the country's central bank. The latest report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction found that the U.N. has delivered more than $2.9 billion in cash since the extremist group took over in 2021. [SNIP] But some of the money, the report concludes, is routed through the central bank, which is under the control of the Taliban.

[SNIP] I took away from that time in prayer, an understanding or a sense (impossible to explain how prayer works; who knows how these insights emerge in our minds?) that we really are now walking through “the time of Satan.”

San Diego County is one of the largest segments of California's homeless population, with more than 10,000. Locals in Pacific Beach say that the vagrants have moved from the city's downtown to their neighborhood and are openly defying laws banning them from camping out in their vehicles. The homeless are accused of not just camping out but bringing in drugs and leaving their garbage on the streets, ironically right next to signs that tell them they're not allowed to park there. Debbie Turnbull, who lives in the area, claims that it's a problem of the city trying to take the homeless out of the downtown area.

You can already hear the same old scam revving up, this time about Haiti – yet again. I remember 30 years ago when we were going to fix Haiti. And since I read history, I know about 100 years ago when we were also going to fix Haiti. Now, our garbage ruling class is on the verge of demanding we try to fix Haiti yet again. Spoiler – you can’t fix Haiti. And it’s not worth one single American life trying to. That’s not to say Haiti isn’t a mess and that we shouldn’t provide some humanitarian aid. Look, Haiti had it hard from the beginning.

Democrats tried and true tactic when their policies failed and Americans abandoned them: blame Donald Trump. And it was no exception for Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson who claimed Trump supporters are the reason his homeless policy was rejected by voters. Johnson’s progressive agenda failed Wednesday night after 53.7 percent of Chicagoans voted against his homeless referendum, compared to 46.3 percent who were in support of it. The Democrat claimed that the same people who voted against his policy were “the same people who want to see Donald Trump … be president again.” “There were 38,000 Republicans that showed up and voted for Donald Trump… in Chicago,” Johnson said.
