My latest in PJ Media:
Oh yeah, this is sure to work: Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday, according to the Jewish Press, that he was “sending an envoy to the Middle East to ‘seek to calm tensions’ even as he urged Israel to avoid killing civilians.” Israel does more than any other military force has ever done to avoid killing civilians, so that was not a good sign. Even worse was that the soothing envoy is Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Hady Amr, an indefatigable supporter of the genocidal Palestinian Arab jihad against Israel.
Back in 2002, Amr declared: “I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada.” He said that Palestinians would “never, never forget what the Israeli people, the Israeli military, and Israeli democracy have done to Palestinian children. And there will be thousands who will seek to avenge these brutal murders of innocents.” He did not, of course, say a word about Hamas’ long-established practice of launching jihad attacks from civilian areas, so that retaliatory fire could be used for propaganda purposes. Of course, that was a long time ago, but Amr went on to a long career in the Obama administration and elsewhere, and never showed any sign that he had moderated his positions.
Anyone who is surprised that Biden’s handlers would send a jihad supporter to talk with the Israelis and Palestinians hasn’t been paying attention. Just days after Joe Biden was inaugurated, pro-Erdogan Turkish journalist Hakkı Öcal, according to Ahval News, “highlighted a report on the strong presence of Jews in the cabinet of U.S. President Joe Biden.” The report claimed that there was an “over 50 percent Jewish presence in the new U.S. cabinet,” and pointed Secretary of State Antony Blinken and CIA Deputy Director David Cohen, among others. But Öcal was off base: among Biden’s handlers, Jewish and non-Jewish, there are few, if any, staunch friends of Israel. After just a few months in office, it was clear that Joe Biden’s handlers’ administration was shaping up to be the most anti-Israel presidency since the founding of the modern State of Israel. That is clear from the appointments Biden’s handlers have made. A sampling:
Robert Malley, special envoy to Iran, has become notorious over the years for his support for Iran’s Islamic regime and pronounced distaste for Israel. The Washington Times revealed in February 2021 that back in July 2019, “Iran’s smooth, English-speaking foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, met with Robert Malley, who was President Obama’s Middle East adviser, in an apparent bid to undermine the Trump team and lay the groundwork for post-Trump relations.”
Malley was a good choice for such an assignment. An Israeli security official noted in February 2008 that Malley “has expressed sympathy to Hamas and Hizbullah and offered accounts of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that don’t jibe with the facts.” Obama dropped Malley in May 2008 after it came to light that he had met with representatives of Hamas, but six months later sent him as an envoy to Egypt and Syria.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Israel already has some of the strictest rules of engagement in the civilized world. Israel targets the armed terrorists, whereas Hamas targets unarmed civilians. Israeli troops stand in front of civilians to shield them. Hamas terrorists stand BEHIND civilians to utilize them as human shields.
The Pallies obviously don’t trust their own dictatorial, unelected leaders, because most have moved to the safety of Western countries.
Westman says
The most ridiculous Pali/Hamas/PA demand(other than the destruction of Israel) is the “right of return”. That’s about as likely as slave descendents clamoring to return to Africa.
Does anyone think that Rashida Tlaib will return to stay? It will be, “see you in a few years, Grandma. I’m staying in America.”

Unfortunately, Mortimer, many of those “Palestinians” are now riding around Western cities waving Nazi flags:
“Toronto: Nazi flag at ‘Palestinian’ pro-jihad rally”

They have not all left Islam and become civilized.

Response to GI: Palies in the West get together every Al Quds Day to express together their anti-Semitism. I attended such an event to observe it and from Muslims from every Muslim country indulging in genocidal hatred. They brought their entire families and toddlers to learn how to hate Jews. This is real Islam, not the pretend Islam of the fake news.
maria says
Actually no muslims tell the truth. All use takiya and all are neo nazis. Very few are Ok but they can be killed by the other muslims or are afraid and cave to the majority of the muslim nazis
mortimer says
The Bribed-man has encouraged the Pallies to think that they will be rewarded if they create more violence. Message received.
CogitoErgoSum says
Maybe Joe should ask the Palestinians if they want to become a new state in the U.S. after D.C. and Puerto Rico are admitted. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar could be their two senators and serve for at least 20 years without ever having to run for office again due to a constant state of emergency. They could get all the free stuff they could ever want. Oh wait, Abbas would have to take a demotion to governor though so that won’t fly.
Walter Sieruk says
Anti- Israel Joe Biden, and his like-minded team he has assembled are , no doubt , too ignorant to know it but is going against the State of Israel they are literally striving against God .
As the Bible in Psalm 135:4 reads :” For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself , Israel for His special treasure.” [N.K.J.V.]
Biden and his anti-Israel grew in Judgement Day will have to answer to God, Romans 14:12. and then be punished for going against God’s treasure.
For the Bible clearly informs its reader that “Though they join forces , the wicked will not go unpunished.”
Westman says
Doesn’t it seem incongruent that the US Israel-haters are mostly atheists who wish to see radical-religious terrorists succeed?
It seems the actor behind this and other current conflicts is Iran. Trump had the right solution: cut off all resources to Iran. Now the outlook with the left turning on the money spigot is eventual war with Iran. Israel may be forced to decapitate Iran’s leadership.

Joe was harangued by Jihadi-Rashida for 8 minutes today and assured her that nothing would happen to her wonderful grandmother. Carter hates Jews and Biden has assembled a team that Jimmy would’ve loved to have. I called Barack Hussein The Destroyer – Joe will be three times as good. There will be millions of dead people when he is done…
Wellington says
Demonstrating again that Biden is an utter disaster for those who prize liberty, strength against iniquity, and accurate knowledge and common sense.
The disaster continues. Yes it does. The disaster is the fraudulent Biden Presidency.

Meet the Team of Israel-Haters Joe Biden Has Assembled
…………………
Yes–this is appalling.
My local news radio station made is sound “moderate” that Biden hadn’t told Israel outright to stop defending herself.
mortimer says
The Pallies have obviously interpreted the word ‘moderate’ as ‘moderately’ supporting Israel, but not so much, so they have been emboldened to attack. The Bribed-man’s team will reward the terrorists with more money for more rockets.
Rob says
It’s as well to note that ‘proportionality’ is ‘proportionality of intent’ not ‘proportionality of outcome’.
The fact that Iron dome and civilian shelters have helped protect Israelis doesn’t alter the fact that Hamas is the disproportional attacker. Its rockets are INTENDED to kill 000s.
Fred van de Bunt says
If you ask me, I would say it depends on what the Muslims do with their own problem, that is Islam. Anybody who takes the effort to read the Quran must notice the disgust of God (Allah) and his prophet (Mohammed) of Jews, being logical since this military conqueror Mohammed was confronted with a lot of resistance by Jews, which made Mohammed despise his Jewish enemies.
In those days of Mohammed, in those vast and empty deserts, a conquering military gang ruthlessly slaying another gang, of course in the name of God to have righteousness at their side, no desert lizard would be bothered: “You only talk about a couple of dozens of these idiot creatures.”, the desert lizard would say of you would ask him, after which he would disappear into his vast and almost empty habitat.
“But nowadays, in which those empty deserts are inhabited by millions of these idiot creatures and their military gangs are equipped with weapons that can hurt many, only with pressing a button, it might be wise to think this God blessed hatred of Jews over again.” the wise lizard will tell you.

So most of these bureaucrats have conducted American state business with our enemues with no approval – a direct violation of US law. Yet the FBI and DOJ constantly attack patriots like Giuliani, Gen Flynn and Carter Page for these same supposed crimes.
Equal application of the law is paramount in a free society. If we don’t do everything we can to restore it, I fear for the future.
