On or around September 7, President Biden unfroze
$6b in Iranian revenues. One month later, there was a massacre in Israel,
sponsored by Iran. No less than a Hamas spokesman affirmed that Iran
lent its assistance to Hamas as its proxy to murder Jews.
Was Biden’s generosity to Iran in September responsible for
the war crimes committed by Hamas in October? While White House officials say
that none of the $6b went to Hamas, they have yet to relate to accusations that
Biden’s munificence served as a green light to Iran to do what it always says it
will do: murder Jews.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, speaking from Tel
Aviv, pretended that money was not fungible. The money, he said, had been sent
from South Korea to a Qatari bank, and Iran hadn’t even had a chance to touch
it, yet. “None of the funds that have gone to Qatar have actually been spent or
accessed in any way,” said Blinken to Netanyahu during his diplomatic blitz of
the Middle East in the wake of the atrocities.
Yes, dummy. We know that. But when there’s money in your
future, you can take money from elsewhere to fund what you like. Iran likes to
kill Jews. Tony Blinken knows this, because in reality, Blinken is no dummy. He
is, however, a Biden hack.
Look (as Biden likes to say), it’s called “robbing Peter to
pay Paul.” While Iran could not give the $6b straight into the hands of Hamas,
there’s always a workaround. It’s called creative accounting. You take money away
from a hospital or a school, whatever, and send it to Hamas. Wherever Iran took
the money from, it used it to fund the massacre, secure in the knowledge that
there would be $6b to cover the difference.
This really is not complicated, yet we can expect Blinken will
continue to deliver the same unsatisfactory message each time he is called upon
to answer for the October 7th war crimes. These were acts of war against
Israel, against America and others, with various nationals among the hostages. What
is now happening was brought to us by Iran, directly after they received a windfall
from Joe.
Yes, we know the $6b is not a gift. We know that the money technically
belongs to Iran. This is, however, an irrelevant factoid. Funds have been freed,
released to madmen. Whether the money is a gift or just a case of restoring it
to its rightful owner “in good faith,” matters not. The end result is the same:
money in the pocket to buy weapons and pay savages to kill Jews.
One could write off the $6b as a miscalculation, a mistake
by the Biden Administration. But not really. Joe Biden has been around a long
time (cough). He has an equally lengthy history of browbeating and bullying
Israel’s leaders, in spite of his intimate knowledge of the relevant actors
in the region. President Biden knows that Iran and Hamas are evil. And he knows
that Israel is not.
Israel is Joe Biden’s sacrificial lamb. Perhaps Biden
reasons that everyone would like the Jews to be gone. Whatever his excuse, it is
Joe Biden who strengthened the hand that fed us tragedy, in his final coup de
grâce to the Jews.
We may never know all the ways in which Biden tied Israel’s
hands to keep the Jewish State from defending itself. We don’t know what went
on between Biden and Netanyahu behind the scenes. Rest assured, however, that Joe
is using everything at his disposal to stall Israel as long as he can, from
launching its inevitable ground incursion into Gaza. In so doing, Biden continues
to strengthen the hand of the enemy. Each day that passes without the ground
incursion gives the enemies of Israel that much more time to prepare, more time
to get ready to slaughter the Jews (they will be sorry they tried).
We can see some of what Biden is doing against Israel, for
example, forcing Israel to allow aid to go through to the “innocent
people of Gaza,” unimpeded. Joe Biden himself is providing $100m to Gaza for
humanitarian aid.
What does it mean to give $100m to “Gaza?” It means to give $100m
to Hamas, the rulers of Gaza. The humanitarian aid, as well, is the opposite of
that. Sure, the hundred mil is ostensibly to be used only for things like
water, food, and electricity, but that will never happen. Thanks to yet more “creative
accounting,” the money will not go to civilians. The $100m is right now
literally funding Hamas, funding murder and inciting the world to war—whether
we can see the actual transactions, or not.
Here too, a Biden hack offers an irrelevant response to
criticism of Biden for sending aid and comfort to the enemy. This time it is Matthew
Miller, the State Department spokesman who pretends that money is not fungible.
"Not a penny has been spent, and when it is, it can only go for humanitarian
needs like food and medicine," says Miller.
Habibi, you are not fooling us. The hundred mil can only go
to Hamas, the government of Gaza. And even if this filthy lucre is channeled
through UNRWA, it will still go to Hamas. One way or another, wherever it lands
in Gaza, that $100m will be lining the pockets of Hamas’ worst, the dutiful proxies
of Iran.

We hear a lot about the “innocent” civilian of Gaza, and how
the “vast majority” of them are peace-loving and do not support Hamas. But what
is the basis for this pronouncement of mass Gazan innocence by world leaders,
celebrities, and other talking heads? The facts and statistics say the
opposite: there is overwhelming support for Hamas and “armed resistance” in
Gaza. Which makes a lot of right-thinking Israelis wonder why our army takes
such pains not to kill them.
If there are statistics that prove this population is
innocent, why don’t they show them to us? Instead, they offer empty words,
devoid of reality. “The humanitarian crisis in Gaza — innocent
Palestinian families and the vast majority that have nothing to do with
Hamas — they’re being used as human shields. We have to reject hate in every
form,” said President Biden.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the same thing in
not so many words. Speaking in Egypt about his trip to the region to
discuss the war, Blinken said, “What I’ve heard from virtually every partner
was a determination, a shared view that we have to do everything possible to
make sure this doesn’t spread to other places; a shared view to safeguard innocent
lives; a shared view to get assistance to Palestinians in Gaza who need it,
and we’re working very much on that.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also rushed to defend the “innocent”
civilians of Gaza. This time after an errant Islamic Jihad rocket took out a
hospital in Gaza.
“I am horrified by the images of the explosion in a hospital
in Gaza. Innocent civilians were injured and killed. Our thoughts are with the
families of the victims.”
Ich bin entsetzt über die Bilder, die uns von der Explosion in einem Krankenhaus in Gaza erreichen. Unschuldige wurden verletzt und getötet. Unsere Gedanken sind bei den Angehörigen der Opfer.
Es ist wichtig, dass dieser Vorfall sehr genau aufgeklärt wird.
Scholz, like the rest of the Israel-hating world, rushed to
judgement: the judgment he preferred: Gazans=innocent, Israelis=guilty. Soon scads
of evidence would prove him wrong. Including a recorded conversation between
Hamas operatives clearly attributing the attack to Islamic Jihad.
The hospital explosion, of course, catalyzed the entire
world to damn Israel for “killing hundreds of innocent civilians.” Which of
course, was not true. But like Scholz, none of them were waiting for confirmation
of what they wanted to believe about Israel to somehow excuse the atrocities,
while Jewish bodies are still being processed.
In the Arab world, the state news agency for Kuwait not
surprisingly, “strongly condemned and denounced the Israeli occupation forces'
barbaric airstrike on the Baptist Al-Ahli Hospital in the Gaza Strip, where
hundreds of innocent civilians were killed.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also rushed to blame
Israel. “Hitting a hospital containing women, children and innocent civilians
is the latest example of Israel's attacks devoid of the most basic human
values. I invite all humanity to take action to stop this unprecedented
brutality in Gaza.”
İçerisinde kadınların, çocukların, masum sivillerin olduğu bir hastaneyi vurmak, İsrail’in en temel insani değerlerden yoksun saldırılarının son örneğidir.
Gazze’de yaşanan ve tarihte benzeri olmayan bu vahşeti durdurmak için tüm insanlığı harekete geçmeye davet ediyorum.
No less than a major in the IDF reserves, Nir Avishai Cohen,
repeatedly called the Gazan people “innocent” in his emotional little leftist
self-congratulatory op-ed in the New
York Times.
For 56 years Israel has been subjecting Palestinians to
oppressive military rule. In my book “Love Israel, Support Palestine,” I wrote:
“Israeli society has to ask itself very important questions about where and why
the blood of its sons and daughters was spilled. A Messianic religious minority
has dragged us into a muddy swamp, and we are following them as if it were the
piper from Hamelin.” When I wrote these words last year, I didn’t realize how
deep in the mud we were, and how much more blood could be shed in so little
time.
I am now going to defend my country against enemies who want
to kill my people. Our enemies are the deadly terrorist organizations that are
being controlled by Islamic extremists.
Palestinians aren’t the enemy. The millions of Palestinians
who live right here next to us, between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan, are
not our enemy. Just like the majority of Israelis want to live a calm, peaceful
and dignified life, so do Palestinians. Israelis and Palestinians alike have
been in the grip of a religious minority for decades. On both sides, the
intractable positions of a small group have dragged us into violence. It
doesn’t matter who is more cruel or more ruthless. The ideologies of both have
fueled this conflict, leading to the deaths of too many innocent civilians.
As a major in the reserves, it is important to me to make it
clear that in this already unstoppable new war, we cannot allow the massacre of
innocent Israelis to result in the massacre of innocent Palestinians.
Israel must remember that there are more than two million people living in the
Gaza Strip. The vast majority of them are innocent. Israel must
do everything in its power to avoid killing innocent people and to focus
on destroying the militant army of Hamas.
There is a pattern here, of making a distinction between members
of Hamas and the Gazan people. But it is also here critical to note something that people either don't know or don't like to talk about; the people of Gaza, in democratic elections, elected Hamas to rule them. From the Guardian:
Figures from Palestinian officials tonight confirmed Hamas's
shock win in the Palestinian parliamentary election over the once-dominant
Fatah party.
Polls had predicted a coalition between the two parties as
the most likely outcome of the vote, but a surprise surge in support for the
Islamists took a party that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel
into power.
The preliminary count put Hamas on 76 seats to Fatah's 43 in
the 132 seat chamber. The result could complicate hopes of a peace deal between
Israel and the Palestinians. George Bush said the United States would not deal
with a Hamas-led government unless the party recognised Israel's right to
exist.
As the scale of the Fatah defeat became apparent, its
officials conceded defeat and the Palestinian prime minister, Ahmed Qureia, and
his cabinet submitted their resignations. "This is the choice of the
people. It should be respected," Mr Qureia told reporters . . .
. . . Mr Bush said a
party that advocated the destruction of Israel would never be partner for
peace, but also hailed the result as an example of democracy in action.
"If there are people unhappy with the status quo
they'll let you know. What was positive is that it is a wakeup call to the
leadership," he told a White House press conference.
"People are demanding honest government ... people want
services; they want to raise their children in a decent environment."
Everywhere you read about the 2006 Gaza election, you will see the word "democracy" in its various forms and usages. In 2008, Vanity Fairran
a piece about a US plot to remove the democratically elected Hamas-led
government from power with the help of Muhammad Dahlan, a Mahmoud
Abbas rival:
Vanity Fair has obtained confidential documents, since
corroborated by sources in the U.S. and Palestine, which lay bare a covert
initiative, approved by Bush and implemented by Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams, to provoke a
Palestinian civil war. The plan was for forces led by Dahlan, and armed with
new weapons supplied at America’s behest, to give Fatah the muscle it needed to
remove the democratically elected Hamas-led government from power. (The
State Department declined to comment.)
Palestinians may soon be heading to the polls for the first
time in 15 years. For some, this will be their first taste of electoral
politics and democratic participation. Yet it will not be Palestine’s first
democratic experiment. Long before the advent of the Arab uprisings,
Palestine held free and fair elections to choose a president and a
parliament. In hindsight, these elections, held in 2005 and 2006 respectively,
marked the high point of Palestinian democracy.
The European Union and the United States were initially
strong advocates of Palestinian democracy, and were a driving force
behind the last elections, urging the main political rivals – the Islamist
Hamas and the secular Fatah – to engage constructively in the process. The EU
and the US proved less comfortable when the democratic outcome went
against their interests following Hamas’s victory in the 2006 legislative
election and the group’s refusal to endorse international demands such as
recognising Israel. Subsequent efforts by the EU and the US to boycott and
undermine the democratically elected government led by Hamas
significantly damaged the Palestinian democratic and state-building project.
This stoked Palestinian political tensions and helped provoke a short civil war
in June 2007 that left Hamas in control of Gaza and President Mahmoud Abbas,
leader of Fatah, in control of the West Bank. These events reverberate to this
day.
Many will try to convince you that the Gazan people were coerced into voting for Hamas. But they were not. The elections were democratic. They were pleased with their choice and showed it, by celebrating when their party won. Al
Jazeerahad the story:
Hamas wins huge majority
Hamas supporters streamed into the streets to celebrate.
In the southern Gaza town of Rafah, supporters shot in the
air and handed out candy. Others honked horns and waved Hamas flags from car
windows.
The elections were, demonstrably, and by all accounts, free and fair and democratic.
So why would anyone call the “civilians” of Gaza “innocent?” All of them
supported Hamas.
A new poll released Tuesday finds a dramatic surge in
Palestinian support for Hamas following last month’s Gaza war, with around three
quarters viewing the Islamic militants as victors in a battle against Israel to
defend Jerusalem and its holy sites.
The scientific poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and
Survey Research also found plummeting support for President Mahmoud Abbas, who
was sidelined by the war but is seen internationally as a partner for reviving
the long-defunct peace process.
The poll found that 53% of Palestinians believe Hamas is
“most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people,”
The poll found that 77% of Palestinians believe Hamas
emerged as a winner, with nearly as many saying that it fought the war to
defend Jerusalem and its holy sites, rather than as part of an internal
struggle with Abbas’ Fatah party.
Note that while President Biden, in 2023,
asserts that the “innocent people of Gaza” are somehow distinct from the party they elected, he knows they are not. In fact, after Hamas won the 2006 election, Joe
Biden led a push to cut off US aid to Hamas for winning, and
to the Palestinian Authority for losing:
After Hamas won democratic elections in Gaza, Joe
Biden called for the U.S. to cut off aid to the Palestinian Authority.
When Hamas, which the U.S. government had designated a
terrorist organization, won a resounding victory in Gaza, it sent shockwaves
through Washington. Biden called the results “sobering” and declared, “Israel
cannot be expected to negotiate with a party that calls for its destruction.”
Biden said President George W. Bush was “dead right” in his denunciation of the
election results. Within days, Biden began suggesting that the U.S. and Europe
should sanction Hamas and cut off aid to the Palestinian Authority. “The fact
of the matter is, you cannot pour millions and hundreds of millions of dollars
into a group that, in fact, calls for the destruction of an ally, or for any
country, for that matter,” Biden said. As the Bush administration called on
other nations to adopt this stance, Biden said, “Unless they change their
stripes, unless they recognize Israel, unless they change their charter, I
think we do exactly what the president says.”
In a Senate hearing a month after Hamas’s victory, Biden
offered a twisted logic on the importance of elections. “Elections a
democracy don’t make,” he said, pointing specifically to Hamas’s success at the
ballot. “Democracies cannot come to fruition without elections, but you need
the infrastructure for a democracy, and we’ve not done all that well in the
elections being held.” By March, Biden had signed onto a bill that called on
Bush to “direct the United States Executive Director at each international
financial institution to use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States
to prohibit assistance to the Palestinian Authority.”
Joe Biden understood, though he pretended he did not, with his
“twisted logic” that democratic elections are somehow not really democratic,
because um, other things. Biden knows that the people of Gaza are not innocent.
They voted for terror, death, and destruction. And they got it.
The innocence of the people of Gaza is in reality, a legend propagated
and perpetuated by Hamas. Hamas does not distinguish between terrorists and “innocents.”
Why should we? Why would the leaders of the world, including Joe Biden? From MEMRI:
The Hamas interior ministry website included the following
text along with its instructional video: "The Information Department of
the Ministry of the Interior and National Security has instructed activists on
social media websites, particularly Facebook, to correct some of the commonly
used terms as they cover the aggression taking place in the Gaza Strip. The
following Information Department video calls on all activists to use the proper
terminology, in order to play their part in strengthening the home front and in
properly conveying information worldwide."
Hamas Social Media Rules: Describe Terrorists as Innocent Civilians
The interior ministry’s “Be Aware – Social Media Activist
Awareness Campaign” centers around an instructional video and posters published
on the ministry’s Facebook and Twitter pages. Gazans are taught, first and
foremost, to refer to all terrorists as innocent civilians.
“Anyone killed or martyred is to be called a civilian from
Gaza or Palestine, before we talk about his status in jihad or his military
rank,” the guidelines state. “Don’t forget to always add ‘innocent civilian’ or
‘innocent citizen’ in your description of those killed in Israeli attacks on
Gaza.”
Screenshot of Hamas Facebook post, telling Gazans to use the word "innocent" in referring to terrorists.
Bearing final mention here is the Ben Shapiro video on the
number of radical Muslims in the world. To be a radical Muslim means, of
course, to support and/or engage in terror. The “innocent civilians of Gaza”
have proven that they number themselves among the “vast majority” who share
their sentiments.
In spite of knowing all of this, President Biden took a moment
to inform us that the “overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with
Hamas’s [sic] appalling attacks.” Even when he knows damned well that no such
thing is true.
We must not lose sight of the fact that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with Hamas’s appalling attacks, and are suffering as a result of them.
Joe Biden is well aware that the “innocent” people of Gaza are
the ones who put the terrorists in charge, and he knows that they like it like
that. Are their children innocent? Does it matter? The parents of the children of Gaza sacrificed them before they were born,
on the altar of their Jew-hatred. Had these children lived, they would have
been reared and educated in UNWRA schools to murder Jews and steal their land. They start them young.
There is no doubt that there is much suffering going on
right now in Gaza. The people who are suffering, are the same people who rejoiced when their leaders massacred Jews. Now they are suffering, but they are not innocent, and I for
one, will not weep. For it is a suffering of their own creation.

Hamas is going to rue the day it decided to rain down
pogroms on Israel. Israel is going to obliterate every trace of Hamas from the
face of God’s earth, and when these two-legged beasts arrive in Hell, they will
discover no brown-eyed virgins waiting for them, but only searing heat and fire
that will scald and burn their ugly flesh without surcease for an eternity. I am
already preparing popcorn to snack on as I watch the sick mothers of these Moloch
terrorists weep and wail over the mutilated remains of their twisted terrorist children.
The people who democratically elected Hamas to lead them should be begging
Egypt to lift its blockade NOW, and let them in, because Israel is so going to carpet
bomb Gaza and retake it for its rightful owners, the Jews.

Similarly, the two-legged beasts who rule Iran will die,
painfully, at the hands of the Jews. As they well know, God favors the Jews,
and will strengthen the hands of His people as we inflict the worst pain
imaginable on Khameini, far worse than that of the 40 Jewish babies his Hamas
employees murdered and beheaded. Hashem was there to receive and comfort those
babies, because they are Jews and God therefore loves them. But beware His
wrath, for all those who raise a hand toward His people will die hard deaths,
hard! And all of the evil ones will die a thousand deaths by the hands of
Israeli heroes, JEWISH heroes, made strong like iron by the God of the Jews
whom you erroneously refer to as “Allah.”

Does a similar fate await Joe Biden, who incentivized the
pogroms that stole Jewish lives with his $6b gift to Iran? Despite his
administration’s repeated assurances that the money didn’t go to Hamas,
everyone knows these billions served as a green light to attack the Jews.
America’s handout told Iran that America supports its foolish, evil campaign to
ethnically cleanse the world of Jews. Whether or not Joe meant to give
Iran incentive to murder Jews matters little, if at all. Iran has repeatedly
and publicly stated its intentions in this regard, and as everyone knows and
many American officials have stated, money is fungible.

Before Joe (and perhaps the man sitting behind the curtain in
the Oval Office) was Barry O with his pallets of cash in exchange for . . .
nothing. Barry likely thinks the Iran crocodile will eat him last. What he
doesn’t know, and Joe doesn’t know (because Joe
doesn’t know much of anything now, including how to walk) is that the
crocodile will eat them NEXT and good riddance to them, too. Those who fund
evil, are evil. Those who voted for this man, are also culpable, because the
Jews told them this would happen, and they didn’t listen, and Jews themselves,
those who vote in American elections, overwhelmingly voted Democrat.
They didn’t listen when we told them. Instead, they praised themselves for
giving Israel Iron Dome, which Obama gave Israel not as a kindness, but as a
means of preventing the Jews from taking care of the mess in Gaza in the first
place. As a result, pogroms were deliberately perpetrated on the Jewish people on
a Jewish holiday. Those Americans who are now grumbling about their tax dollars
aiding people far away, when they themselves are suffering terrible inflation,
have no idea that they funded pogroms, and now their leaders are compelled to
pay blood money on their behalf.
This and the following are memes I saw on the evening of October 10, Day 4 of the war. The memes describe taxpayer grumbling at being expected to send aid to Israel.
Why must Biden now pay blood money to Israel from taxpayer dollars? Because otherwise, it looks really, really bad for this
administration. There were pogroms. And things are already looking bad for Biden what with his
coke-addicted pervert son; the naked selfies of his brother; his refusal to
acknowledge his grandchild; and his creepy predilection for nuzzling and
sniffing children.
Trust God on this, if you helped in this, you will get what is coming to

you pay, all the more so when atrocities are inflicted on His beloved nation.

Europe, too, funded these Iran/Hamas/et al crimes against
humanity, against the Jews. We are not impressed with your light displays of
Israeli flags on your buildings. We are not impressed when you tell us we have
the right to defend ourselves, as if this were somehow in doubt. We see it
all—how you allowed a Holocaust to occur, and then, to assuage your guilt,
helped fund the creation of the Jewish State, thus reserving the right to a
future, more successful attempt at ethnic cleansing, this time with the Jews
conveniently concentrated in a single space.

Be assured that it is the Jews, who will once again arise
victorious to outlive the evildoers. The bad guys are doomed to vanish from the
face of God’s earth. Just like the other occupiers of Jewish land. Like those
before you, you failed to learn an important lesson: History repeats.
As a result, all will now witness the valor and strength of
God’s Chosen People, the Jewish people. None will succeed in their
campaign to demoralize us or steal our land. If you try, you will die horrible
deaths, and God will not save you. The Nation of Israel lives all Am Yisrael

After nine months of refusing to extend an invitation to Benjamin
Netanyahu to visit the White House, Joe Biden—or his handlers—deemed that a sufficiently
long enough period of time had elapsed that said invitation could now be extended.
Bibi had been punished and put in his place, the anti-Israel elements of the
party appeased. Still, nobody said that Joe had to be nice to the Israeli PM. So
as Bibi waxed lyrical about their 40-year acquaintance, and while the cameras
were rolling, Biden leered at those in attendance and crossed himself. Slowly and
with deliberation.
BREAKING: Meeting on the sidelines of the @UN in New York, @POTUS -- at the outset of remarks by Israeli Prime Minister @netanyahu as the two sat before the U.S. and Israeli flags -- oddly performed the sign of the cross, a ritual Christian gesture. Mr. Biden read from notecards;… pic.twitter.com/MmwQHICVAk
The press didn’t write about it, with the notable exception
of the indefatigable Hunter Biden laptop-reporting New
York Post:
President Biden unexpectedly crossed himself Wednesday
during a one-on-one meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on
the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in Midtown.
The 80-year-old Roman Catholic president made the
conspicuous hand gesture — touching his forehead, stomach and left and right
breast area with his right hand — as the Jewish leader began speaking.
“We’ve been friends for, I’ve checked it, over 40 years,”
Netanyahu said, prompting Biden to make the sign of the cross in a possible
joke about his own age.
However, the president did not explain his action and the
White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This was not the first time that Joe Biden made the
sign of the cross as an apparent snub or sign of disrespect. He crossed
himself while saying Donald Trump’s name as he stumped for Gavin Newsom in
2021. He did it again while ridiculing Marjorie Taylor Greene at an event in
Virginia Beach.

How are we supposed to understand Joe Biden’s repeated, cynical use of
a religious symbol, an expression of Christian faith? What does it mean in the
context of a landmark meeting with the prime minister of the Jewish State? It
depends on how you're feeling about Joe these days.
Some think it was insensitive of the president, a stupid move, to cross himself in front of a Jewish leader.
Others think that his making the sign of the cross against a Jewish person was just
one more manifestation of a riddled brain in a state of advanced decay. Both these things are likely true, but miss the mark by omitting the malign nature
of the president’s gesture, meant as a pointed sign of disrespect to someone he
really, really does not like.
Was the gesture deliberately antisemitic? That would certainly be a
valid conclusion. The sign of the cross has traditionally been used to ward off
evil. Biden jokingly uses the symbol to demean public figures he dislikes by equating them with evil. When he therefore makes
the sign of the cross in relation to the democratically-elected leader of the one
Jewish State, it is not a stretch to understand this as a statement: “Netanyahu
the Jew is evil.”
The sign of the cross as a protection against evil is something
most of us are familiar with from movies and TV shows, where characters are
always waving silver crosses at vampires. But do Christians really believe that the sign of the cross wards off evil? Does Joe Biden?
While perusing materials relating to
Christian dogma is not really my thing, especially during the High Holiday
season, I found the following, attributed to St. John Chrysostom, 4th-century
Preacher and Patriarch of Constantinople, so . . . probably legit:
Never leave your house without making the sign of the cross.
It will be to you a staff, a weapon, an impregnable fortress. Neither man nor
demon will dare to attack you, seeing you covered with such powerful armor. Let
this sign teach you that you are a soldier, ready to combat against the demons,
and ready to fight for the crown of justice. Are you ignorant of what the cross
has done? It has vanquished death, destroyed sin, emptied hell, dethroned
Satan, and restored the universe. Would you then doubt its power?
As a Jew, I don’t believe any of that, like not even a
little bit, not even to the very tip of the tip of my pinky. But when Joe Biden
makes the sign of the cross, he does so to smear and
ridicule those he dislikes by suggesting, perhaps only half-jokingly, that they are
evil. This offends me not only on behalf of my PM, my country, and my people,
but also on behalf of those who do see the cross as a symbol of their
faith. Because when Joe Biden makes the sign of the cross, in the eyes of his co-religionists,
he does so not out of belief, but out of disrespect. From a Catholic perspective, he blasphemes.
Of course no one would accuse Joe Biden of being a good Catholic.
Joe’s in bad odor with the Church because of his stance on abortion. Famously,
Joe Biden was denied
communion at a church in South Carolina. But this use of a religious symbol
is vulgar and offensive by any human standard no matter your religion,
especially in light of the fact that the one misusing the symbol is the leader
of the free world.
No matter the Democrat scandal of the day, it’s always tempting to say that if
Trump did it, the media would be all over it like white on rice; meanwhile when Biden
does it, crickets. Robert
Spencer points this out along with the fact that Biden did not make the sign
of the cross when meeting Mahmoud Abbas:
To put into perspective how odd this is, imagine if Trump
had made the sign of the cross as he was meeting with Netanyahu. There would
have been a new round of “Trump is an antisemite” articles in the establishment
media. The ADL would have issued another in their long series of furious
denunciations of the Bad Orange Man. The gesture would have been portrayed as a
recrudescence of the bad old days of blood libels and false accusations against
the Jews that culminated in the Holocaust. When Biden does it, on the other
hand, no one sees it.
Whatever it was, Biden certainly didn’t make the sign of the
cross when he met with his friend Mahmoud Abbas.
I have yet to hear a response or
comment from Netanyahu on Biden making the sign of the cross, during their meeting. That’s as it should be. Perhaps in time, Netanyahu will find a way to make his feelings known, but likely only for those who have the ability read between the lines. This 2015 Jeffrey Goldberg piece from the Atlantic, Netanyahu
Dodges the Cross does the trick for me:
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, is fond of
recalling Vice President Joe Biden's suggestion that he nail himself to a very
large cross.
It was 2011, and they were in Jerusalem, in Netanyahu's
office. Biden was encouraging the prime minister to make a bold leap for peace,
and not to waste time on half-measures. "My father always said, 'Don't
crucify yourself on a small cross,'" Biden said. Netanyahu laughed. Only
Joe Biden, he would tell people later, would travel to Jerusalem to encourage a
Jewish prime minister to crucify himself.
What was Netanyahu telling those he regaled with this
story? My take is this: Joe Biden told Benjamin Netanyahu to kill himself.
And the then vice president traveled all the way to Jerusalem to do so.

Actor and Musician Jamie
Foxx jumped on “The Jews Killed Jesus” bandwagon on August 4th
and on August 6th he apologized. In so doing, he joined a club: that
of the legions of celebrities who broadcast rude and blatantly antisemitic
statements to their legions of followers after which they apologize. These
celebrities have learned that you can say the worst antisemitic thing, as long
as you apologize.
In case you missed it, here is what Jamie Foxx chose to post
to his 16.2 million followers:
"They killed this dude name Jesus... What do you think
they'll do to you???!" followed by the hashtags #fakefriends #fakelove
This post was then duly deleted by Foxx. Then, once he
deemed enough time had elapsed to make it still seem sincere, Foxx apologized:
I want to apologize to the Jewish community and everyone who
was offended by my post. I now know my choice of words have caused offense and
I'm sorry. That was never my intent.
To clarify, I was betrayed by a fake friend and that's what
I meant with "they" not anything more. I only have love in my heart
for everyone. I love and support the Jewish community. My deepest apologies to
anyone who was offended [three heart emojis]
Aniston, following in Foxx’s (antisemitic) footsteps, liked the
screed about the people who killed Jesus, and then denied she had done so, or
been antisemitic. No. Antisemitism makes her sick. As per the Guardian:
“This really makes me sick,” said Aniston’s statement, which
was posted on Instagram Stories. “I did not ‘like’ this post on purpose or by
accident. And more importantly, I want to be clear to my and anyone hurt by this
showing up in their feeds – I do not support antisemitism. And I truly don’t
tolerate HATE of any kind. Period.”
So let me break this down for you, Foxx had a friend named
Jesus who was killed by a fake friend who was not a Jew, chas v’shalom. Jamie
is filled with nothing but love.
Aniston, meanwhile, seems to be vaguely asserting she was
hacked, or perhaps the butler did it, while she, Aniston, was in the shower. In
either case, the apology, or even the suggestion of one, even via a canned
lawyer’s statement augmented by numerous emojis, is all that counts in the end.
The calls of support came flowing in, suggests the Guardian, though that seems
to require a generous interpretation of “numerous.” But they managed to dig up
a court Jew, so that’s all right (emphasis added):
Foxx’s handling of the episode did earn him numerous
supportive comments. Alongside the actor’s apology Saturday, music producer
Breyon Prescott wrote, “Anyone that has been around you knows that you have no
hate for anyone!!! … [You’re] the best, don’t let anyone make you think
differently.”
The actor Porscha Coleman added: “People can’t even speak
any more without someone being offended. You were clearly talking about someone
you thought was a friend who turned out to be a backstabber … Society is so
sensitive these days!”
And podcast host Mark Birnbaum, who is Jewish, wrote
on Instagram that he found Foxx to be “the most inclusive non-antisemitic
person out there”.
“He’s got nothing but love for everyone, including us
Jews,” Birnbaum said. “Let’s move onto the next nonsensical story of the
day.”
Other users remarking on Foxx also alluded to his prior
displays of solidarity with the Jewish community. In 2017, he performed at a
barmitzvah-themed birthday party in honor of the singer Drake as well as at
a Jewish fan’s barmitzvah.
Oh, wow. He performed at a Bar Mitzvah. Clearly the guy
loves Jews.
Look. We’ve seen this show before. We saw it with Ilhan
Omar, how she “unequivocally” apologized after saying it’s all about the Benjamins
and AIPAC, but essentially still saying the same thing: AIPAC wields problematic
political clout. P.S. It doesn’t.
Even self-perpetuating PA president Mahmoud Abbas did the
antisemitic blurt out and apology thing while speaking to the Palestinian
National Council. After saying crazy things like the Jews took money from
Hitler to settle in Palestine, Abbas issued an “official” apology. From Ynet
(emphasis added):
"Ifpeople were offended by my statement
in front of the PNC, especially people of the Jewish faith, I apologize
to them. I would like to assure everyone that it was not my intention to do so,
and to reiterate my full respect for the Jewish faith, as well as other
monotheistic faiths."
“If.” Get that? If people were offended. Especially Jews.
Kyrie Irving did the same thing. Tweeted an antisemitic
documentary, and then apologized. But of course as he said, he was “unjustly”
labeled an antisemite. And of course, the apology only came after he was
suspended.
ViacomCBS cut ties with Nick
Cannon after the latter said stupid stuff about Jews on a podcast. So
Cannon apologized.
Ottawa Centre MPP Joel Harden issued an apology after
footage was leaked of him saying horribly antisemitic things. From the Jerusalem Post
(emphasis added):
In footage from a 2021 interview of Harden by the Ottawa
Forum on Israel Palestine (OFIP) that recently surfaced and gained prominence,
Harden stated that he has "asked many questions of Jewish neighbors here
about how much longer we should put up with this, because if I were to
name... the single greatest threat – the single greatest origin of violence in
the Middle East – is unquestionably the State of Israel and the way in which they
feel absolutely no shame in defying international law doing whatever they want."
Harden also condemned antisemitism and said that
manifestations of Jew-hatred in pro-Palestinian camps were unhelpful to the
cause, but conditioned that "I can also understand from the
pro-Palestinian standpoint how the barbarity and the scale of viciousness can
lead someone to strike out withintemperate hateful language [!!] because
of that real hurt where people are at."
But the guy apologized.
Last year I participated in an interview with the Ottawa Forum on Israel Palestine, where I spoke in a way that perpetrated an antisemitic stereotype towards Jewish neighbours.
I regret my choice of words. My full statement and apology is below. https://t.co/h6IPxjD68G
Should we believe him? Only if you really, really want to, or
perhaps share common cause with him in some completely different area as with RFK
Jr. and Farrakhan.
The fact is there is no way to prove the sincerity of an
apology. Lie detectors are easily fooled and the interpretation of body
language is not an exact science. Some Jews would say that’s precisely why we
should give these antisemites the benefit of the doubt. Others, like this
writer, reject the apologies as a matter of course. It’s not just that the apologies
are too well-timed, canned, or inadequate—it’s that it’s a matter of self-preservation.
Some say that the Jews never see the danger until the gates
are closing and it’s too late. It’s the nature of nice, normal people to make
the choice to always see things in a positive light. Jews may even tell you
that benefit of the doubt is a Jewish value. But Judaism doesn’t tell us to be
stupid. For a Jew, survival often means taking off the blinders that make us
see benign intent where none is meant.
RFK Jr. got into hot water on July 15, when the New
York Post aired footage of a press event during which he said (emphasis
added):
“COVID-19. There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19
attacks certain races disproportionately,” Kennedy said. “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people
who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”
“We don’t know
whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there
that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact,” Kennedy hedged . . .
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says COVID was ethnically targeted to spare Jews The Democratic presidential candidate "claims without proof": COVID-19 is a genetically engineered bioweapon which is “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi (European) Jews & Chinese https://t.co/kIyK2t7mRi
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims coronavirus was an "ethnically targeted" bioweapon designed to be more deadly for caucasians and blacks — and spare Jews and Chinese https://t.co/xfAdovs0sYpic.twitter.com/og4xHdKs7x
When called on the carpet for these antisemitic, racist,
conspiracy theorist comments, RFK Jr. doubled down, tweeting:
“The U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically
targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that
COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races. The furincleave docking site is most compatible with blacks and Caucasians and
least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews. In that
sense, it serves as a kind of proof of
concept for ethnically targeted
bioweapons.”
The @nypost story is mistaken. I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021…
— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) July 15, 2023
Except that none of this is true. Jews had a higher mortality rate from COVID-19 compared to other ethnic groups in, for example, the UK. From the JPost
(emphasis added):
Despite Kennedy’s claims that Ashkenazi Jews had a higher
immunity to COVID-19, in June of 2020, the Office for National Statistics
released data revealing Jews had a
higher mortality rate from COVID-19 in the United Kingdom compared to other
ethnic groups. At the peak of the
pandemic, in April 2020, Jewish mortality from COVID-19 was twice that of
non-Jews.
But perhaps we can’t altogether blame RFK Jr.’s hateful
views about Jews, since it’s kind of a family legacy going all the way back to
Grandpa Joseph P. Kennedy, a known antisemite. From Joseph Kennedy and the Jews
(emphasis added):
Arriving at London in early 1938, newly-appointed U.S.
Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy took up quickly with another transplanted
American. Viscountess Nancy Witcher Langhorne Astor assured Kennedy early in
their friendship that he should not be put off by her pronounced and proud
anti-Catholicism.
"I'm glad you are smart enough not to take my [views]
personally," she wrote. Astor
pointed out that she had a number of Roman Catholic friends - G.K. Chesterton
among them - with whom she shared, if nothing else, a profound hatred for the
Jewish race. Joe Kennedy, in turn, had always detested Jews generally,
although he claimed several as friends individually. Indeed, Kennedy seems to
have tolerated the occasional Jew in the same way Astor tolerated the
occasional Catholic.
The above article, by the way, is prefaced with a note:
“Note: Due to a number of anti-Semitic comments that have been posted, comments
have been disabled for this article.”
Here is more from the same source in which Hitler is viewed as a solution to the Jewish question, and Communism, too (emphasis added):
As fiercely anti-Communist as they were
anti-Semitic, Kennedy and Astor looked upon Adolf Hitler as a welcome solution
to both of these "world problems" (Nancy's phrase). No member of
the so-called "Cliveden Set" (the informal cabal of appeasers who met
frequently at Nancy Astor's palatial home) seemed much concerned with the
dilemma faced by Jews under the Reich. Astor
wrote Kennedy that Hitler would have to do more than just "give a rough
time" to "the killers of Christ" before she'd be in favor of
launching "Armageddon to save them. The wheel of history swings
round as the Lord would have it. Who are we to stand in the way of the
future?" Kennedy replied that he expected the "Jew media" in the
United States to become a problem, that "Jewish pundits in New York and
Los Angeles" were already making noises contrived to "set a match to
the fuse of the world."
During May of 1938, Kennedy engaged in extensive discussions
with the new German Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, Herbert von
Dirksen. In the midst of these conversations (held without approval from the
U.S. State Department), Kennedy advised
von Dirksen that President Roosevelt was the victim of "Jewish
influence" and was poorly informed as to the philosophy, ambitions and
ideals of Hitler's regime. (The Nazi ambassador subsequently told his bosses
that Kennedy was "Germany's best friend" in London.)
Columnists back in the states condemned Kennedy's
fraternizing. Kennedy later claimed that
75% of the attacks made on him during his Ambassadorship emanated from "a
number of Jewish publishers and writers. ... Some of them in their zeal did not
hesitate to resort to slander and falsehood to achieve their aims." He
told his eldest son, Joe Jr., that he disliked having to put up with
"Jewish columnists" who criticized him with no good reason.
RFK Jr. isn’t the only descendant of Joe Kennedy to become an ardent antisemite. Joe Jr. was apparently a chip off the old block. He thought Hitler was just the bee's knees (emphasis added):
Like his father, Joe
Jr. admired Adolf Hitler. Young Joe had come away impressed by Nazi
rhetoric after traveling in Germany as a student in 1934. Writing at the time, Joe applauded Hitler's insight in realizing the
German people's "need of a common enemy, someone of whom to make the goat.
Someone, by whose riddance the Germans would feel they had cast out the cause
of their predicament. It was excellent psychology, and it was too bad that it
had to be done to the Jews. The dislike of the Jews, however, was well-founded.
They were at the heads of all big business, in law etc. It is all to their
credit for them to get so far, but their
methods had been quite unscrupulous ... the lawyers and prominent judges were Jews, and if you had a case
against a Jew, you were nearly always sure to lose it. ... As far as the
brutality is concerned, it must have been necessary to use some ...."
. . . Like his friend Charles Coughlin (an anti-Semitic
broadcaster and Roman Catholic priest), Kennedy
always remained convinced of what he believed to be the Jews' corrupt,
malignant, and profound influence in American culture and politics. "The
Democratic [party] policy of the United States is a Jewish production,"
Kennedy told a British reporter near the end of 1939, adding confidently that Roosevelt
would "fall" in 1940.
On July 17, 1949, the JTA released a report that states in
part (emphasis added):
Anti-Semitic views claimed to have been expressed by Joseph
P. Kennedy — during the time when he was U.S. Ambassador in London — in his
conversations with the German Ambassador there in 1938, were revealed here
today in captured German diplomatic documents made public by the State
Department.
The documents, which claim that Kennedy approved of the Nazi
treatment of Jews in Germany, were discovered in the top secret archives of the
German Foreign Ministry. One of them is a letter from the then German
Ambassador to Great Britain, Dr. Herbert von Dirksen, to Baron Ernst von
Weizsaecker, State Secretary of the German Foreign Ministry who was recently
convicted on war crimes charges. In this report, von Dirksen wrote of Kennedy
as follows:
“The Ambassador then touched upon the Jewish question and
stated that it was naturally of great importance to German-American relations.
In this connection it was not so much
the fact that we wanted to get rid of the Jews that was so harmful to us, but
rather the loud clamor with which we accompanied the purpose. He himself
understood our Jewish policy completely; he was from Boston and there, in one
golf club, and in other clubs, no Jews had been admitted in the past 50 years.
In the United States, therefore, such pronounced attitudes were quite common,
but people avoided making so much outward fuss about it.
In 1938 Joseph
Kennedy had a solution to “the Jewish problem.” The New York Times reported
that he had worked out with prime minister Chamberlain a plan to ship all
German Jews to Africa and other places in the Western Hemisphere under the
joint administration of Britain and the United States. That was news to the
State Department, which Kennedy had not consulted, and to President Roosevelt
for whom Kennedy had become an embarrassing loose cannon.
You might be tempted to say—considering the legacy of antisemitism that RFK Jr. inherited from Grandpa Joe—that all the Kennedys suffer from the same malady. Except that there is reason to believe that this is not so. For one thing, JFK's daughter Caroline, married a Jew. And in Bobby Kennedy’s Admiration for Israel, we learn that while RFK Jr.’s father Bobby at first tried not to choose sides in his coverage for the Boston Post of events leading up to Israel’s declaration of statehood. Then he changed his mind, and realized that Israel was in the right (emphasis added):
[In] “British Hatred by Both Sides,” RFK labored mightily to
present the arguments of both Arabs and Jews. “There are such well-founded
arguments on either side,” Kennedy wrote, “that each side grows more and more
bitter toward the other. Confidence in
their right increases in proportion to the hatred and mistrust for the other
side not acknowledging it.”
Bobby Kennedy, father of RFK Jr., really seemed to get it. How brave the Jewish people were in fighting to create a Jewish state in Palestine, after thousands of years in exile. From the same source (emphasis added):
In the subsequent three articles, however, RFK and his
Boston Post editors no longer attempted to convey an objective view of the
competing claims of Jews and Arabs. As the headline on his June 4th article
indicates, RFK chose a side: “Jews Have a Fine Fighting Force—Make Up for Lack
of Arms With Undying Spirit, Unparalleled Courage—Impress the World.” The
article gets directly to the point: “The
Jewish people in Palestine who believe in and have been working toward this
national state have become an immensely proud and determined people. It is
already a truly great modern example of the birth of a nation with the primary
ingredients of dignity and self-respect.” Many similar articles appeared in
the American press of the day. The
surprising thing about these Boston Post articles was not their pro-Zionist
sentiments, but the fact that they had been written by Joseph P. Kennedy’s son.
After RFK Jr.'s latest remarks, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz gave him a talking to from
the podium. It was a pretty good speech. But it's hard to take her seriously, considering she's on the wrong side of many issues that pose a danger to Israeli Jews.
RFK Jr.’s response to Wasserman Schultz carried more
than a grain of truth, for which we must give him credit:
I won’t be lectured to about antisemitism from Democratic lawmakers like Wasserman Schultz @RepDWStweets who voted to give Iran $150b while that regime promises a new Holocaust against the Jews. #Kennedy24
— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) July 22, 2023
Joseph P. Kennedy's grandson RFK Jr., looks to be a serious contender for the Democratic
presidential nomination. As such, it is important to talk about his problem with Jews
and Asians and to keep talking about it long and loud. Everyone should be well aware of
the character of the candidate they choose for president. And that includes our current Democratic president.
