Surprise: Democrats Support Palestinians Over Israelis

By William Teach October 12, 2023 – 6:45 am

Too bad the poll didn’t ask questions like “do you think Israel should be eradicated” and “do you hate Jews”?

Democrats support Palestinians over Israel, GOP overwhelmingly stands with US ally: 2023 poll

More Democrats in the United States support Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank than Israel, the closest U.S. ally in the Middle East, according to a 2023 poll.

Democratic sympathies for Palestinians has increased over the last decade, and a Gallup poll published in March 2023 found their affinity toward the Palestinians finally eclipsed their support of Israel, 49% to 38%.

The attitudes from March reflected a continued decline in Israeli support, from 40% to 38% and an 11-point surge of support for Palestinian people, from 38% to 49%.

More Independents support Israel (49%) than Palestinians (32%). Nineteen percent said they did not favor one side over the other, according to Gallup.

I wonder if lots of the purple haired college students flying Palestinian flags and saying how evil Israel and the Jews are would be willing to go over there and talk about their social justice and LGBTQ stuff?

Americans generally support Israel (54%) than Palestinians (31%), with only 15% having no preference, the poll found.

That’s a pretty disturbing number, which shows we are letting in way too many from Muslim countries who do not share our values, and too many kiddies have been indoctrinated to hate Israel

The horror in Israel has put the failure of Western multiculturalism on shocking display

Several years ago, I was chairing a panel of writers talking about motherhood when an Orthodox Jewish author made an observation I have never forgotten. Twins were not viewed as a blessing in her community, Sally said.

“Why?”

“Because when they come for you, it’s too hard to pick up both of them and run.” The other mums on the panel were stunned into silence. When they come for you, the Jewish mother said, not if.

On Saturday October 7, Itay and Hadar Berdichevsky realised that “they” had come for them. Gunmen were breaking down the door of their house in a kibbutz not far from the border with Gaza.

They stuck the 10 month old twins in a safe room, and then the Hamas animals killed them. Israel soldiers found the twins, who are now orphans.

On Monday night, while Rishi Sunak was taking a robust and much-appreciated stand at Finchley United Synagogue, alongside the Chief Rabbi, with a plain-speaking approach the BBC would do well to emulate (“They are not militants. They are not freedom fighters. They are terrorists!”), thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators staged a rally outside the Israeli embassy.

It was a dismaying sight, repellent in its callousness. A young Jewish woman I know attempted to reach the embassy to show her solidarity, but she was terrified and driven away. Guidance from the Metropolitan Police on this matter was so bland it amounted to a surrender IOU.

“We are engaging with protesters in Kensington High Street  We encourage those taking part to do so safely and responsibly,” burbled our capital’s police force, “Do not put yourself or others at risk of injury by climbing street furniture or buildings. Officers will take action if any criminal activity occurs.”

Well, as Hamas is a proscribed organisation under the Terror Act 2000, and it is a criminal offence to support them, the coppers should have been busy making hundreds of arrests, but they largely hung back.

It’s a very, very long piece, well worth the read, and essentially shows that the West made a huge mistake letting in all these people, legally and illegally, who’s values are completely incompatible with Western values, who sympathize with the terrorist version of Islam, who despise Jews and want Israel destroyed, and want to destroy the Western nations, both by violence and by subversion. Look at all the no-go zones. The violence. Having their own Sharia police. Enforcing their own laws. Grooming and raping young women and men. Banding together to put their own people into political office to help change laws towards Islamic law.

Interestingly, as I wrote many times when I blogged more about this issue, the Islamists conned Democrats into supporting their extremist views as started by the Muslim Brotherhood, even though they stand in stark opposition to Democrat values. And liberal, Green, Conservative (both UK and US, which are different), and most any party that supports a Democracy Model government.

Twelve NC Democrats Walk Out On Vote To Support Israel

By William Teach October 11, 2023 – 4:09 pm

Unsurprisingly, WRAL forgot to mention some relevant and important information

NC lawmakers support Israel in bipartisan speeches, House resolution as fighting with Hamas intensifies

North Carolina lawmakers passed a pro-Israel resolution in the state House and read a pro-Israel statement onto the Senate’s official record, as the country’s conflict with Hamas intensified Tuesday. (snip)

The House resolution passed with a vote of 104-0 in the 120-seat chamber. Twelve Democrats were listed in the final count as “not voting.” They are: Rep. John Autry, D-Mecklenburg, Rep. Amber Baker, D-Forsyth, Rep. Gloristine Brown, D-Pitt, Rep. Kanika Brown, D-Forsyth, Rep. Maria Cervania, D-Wake, Rep. Terence Everitt, D-Wake, Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-Guilford, Rep. Nasif Majeed, D-Mecklenburg, Rep. Marcia Morey, D-Durham, Rep. Renée Price, D-Orange, Rep. Diamond Staton-Williams, D-Cabarrus, Rep. Julie von Haefen, D-Wake.

Well, I can understand WRAL not knowing what’s going on, same as many other outlets, since their reporters barely leave the office, they just read tweets.

(Carolina Journal) Speaker Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, led the debate as the NC House voted unanimously Tuesday for House Resolution 897. It urges Congress to support Israel in response to unprovoked attacks from terrorist group Hamas.

However, a group of 12 House Democrats walked out of the chamber rather than vote on the resolution. It passed, 104-0.

Yeah, they didn’t not vote, they walked out. On a very simple resolution. Were they trying to not piss off the Muslims in their communities, who really do hate Israel and Jews?

She stands so much that she walked out of the vote. Nor will she condemn Islamists like Rashiada Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. And, none of the NC Credentialed Media have asked her or the others to explain their walking out on a vote. She’s probably not going to answer me, especially since I’m not in her NC House district.

Bummer: Climate Crisis (scam) Could Maybe Have Long Term Impacts On Mental Health

By William Teach October 11, 2023 – 3:00 pm

If you tell everyone it’s a world ending crisis, if you teach them that it is a world ending crisis, if the news and politicians are constantly bleating doom and gloom (while using vast amounts of fossil fuels themselves), what you end up is people who are constantly in a state of mental illness, be it rage or depression, and no one will suffer more than the youts being indoctrinated

Climate change can have ‘lifelong impacts’ on young people’s mental health, report says

Climate change can play a major role in affecting young people’s mental health, according to a new report from the American Psychological Association.

Written in collaboration with the climate advocacy organization ecoAmerica, the report documents how environmental events linked to climate change – including weather disasters, extreme heat and poor air quality – can trigger or exacerbate mental health issues for kids and teens.

So, written essentially by the people pimping extreme doom and gloom. It’s like Hamas writing a report claiming they are not terrorists

Natural disasters can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder in these groups, the report says. Longer-term problems like heat, drought and poor air quality can increase the risks of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, aggression, cognitive impairment and more.

“The report documents psychological harms that are happening right now to the children and youth in our country,” Dr. Dennis P. Stolle, the association’s senior director of applied psychology who reviewed the report, wrote in an email to CNN. “These are not issues that we can wait and resolve later. As a society, we must act now.”

Natural disasters have always happened, will always happen. The youts are being taught to freak out over them.

According to Dr. Sue Clayton, a professor of psychology at the College of Wooster and the report’s lead author, climate change-related weather events leave kids more vulnerable to mental health consequences because young people might not have the coping strategies that adults do.

Well, there used to be parents, teachers, politicians, etc, who helped the teens cope. Now they get the kids to freak.

Health care professionals could also screen early and regularly for climate-related distress among youth. Stolle says a greater number of clinical psychologists are treating people with anxiety about climate change.

“Clinical psychologists are finding themselves on the frontlines of treating the patients who are suffering from these concerns,” he wrote in his email.

Instead of telling them to chill, that it is not the end of the world, they perpetuated the scam, leading to the need for more mental health treatment. Nice scam.

‘No one feels safe’: Nazis in fear as Allied airstrikes in Germany kill at least 490 women and children

By William Teach October 11, 2023 – 10:30 am

Can you imagine if ABC News had written that headline? How would that have gone over? I mean, heck, if it was “‘No one feels safe’: Russians in fear as Ukrainian airstrikes in Crimea kill at least 490 women and children”, how would that be taken? You just had to know that the Democrats, who hate Israel and Jews and love them some Palestinian terrorists, who work in the Credentialed Media were going to start taking the side of the Palestinians, right?

‘No one feels safe’: Palestinians in fear as Israeli airstrikes in Gaza kill at least 490 women and children

Hundreds of targets have been hit in Gaza by Israel following the Saturday incursion from Hamas terrorists, the group that controls the Palestinian territory of Gaza. More than 200 targets were struck in Gaza by Israeli forces in just one day, according to authorities.

In Gaza, at least 950 people have died — among them 260 children and 230 women — and another 5,000 have been wounded since Saturday, according to the latest numbers from Palestinian officials.

In Israel, at least 1,200 people have been killed and 2,900 others injured.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip say they are living in fear as Israel retaliates for the actions of the militant terrorist group, with nowhere for them go.

There are no bomb shelters for Palestinians to hide from airstrikes.

So, wait, Hamas and the other terrorists in charge of Gaza failed to build bomb shelters despite constantly attacking Israeli civilians? Maybe they should have spent more time building those rather than weapons rooms below hospitals. And, yes, Israel does have lots, because they Hamas and other terrorists attack random civilian areas of Israel a lot.

“Gaza is a closed zone. There’s nowhere people can evacuate to — there’s no shelters,” said Laila El-Haddad, 45, a Palestinian-American living in Maryland whose family is currently in Gaza.

She continued, “The borders are all controlled and shut and the one border bordering Egypt was bombed earlier today. You know, unless they plan to swim out — but there’s a naval blockade — they really have nowhere to go.”

Well, you know, don’t vote for a terrorist organization to be the government. Don’t support them. These same people complaining are the same ones in the streets, here in the U.S. and other Western nations along with Gaza, chanting Death to Israel and Death to Jews.

Unsurprisingly, ABC News continues on and on about how bad it is for Palestinians, who are the aggressors.

Doom: Global Boiling To Make Beer Taste Bad Or Something

By William Teach October 11, 2023 – 7:00 am

This all could have been avoided if you simply gave up your fossil fueled lifestyle and your freedom

Climate change could soon affect the taste of beer, new study says

DuckspeakBeer lovers beware: Climate change could soon make the world’s most popular alcoholic drink much more bitter.

Climate change could soon be altering the quality of hops used to make beer which will then alter the flavor, according to a new study published Tuesday in Nature.

European beer-producing regions are projected to experience up to an 18% reduction in their yield of traditional aroma hops by 2050 and up to a 31% reduction in hop acids that are key for bitter flavoring, researchers found.

Beer is the world’s third most widely consumed beverage, after water and tea, and is the world’s most popular alcoholic drink, according to the paper.

Soon. Unless you change your behavior by force of government. This is all supposed to bring it home with something people care about, something close to people. And it is Important enough to the cult that it is all over the news, from CNN to NBC to many, many others.

It is an anti-science cult

Warming Temperatures Bring Different Animals to Maryland

A Salisbury man fishing for spotted sea trout Sept. 17 in the Chesapeake Bay pulled in a tall, silvery fish with a striking yellow underside.

It turned out to be the largest Florida pompano recorded in the state. It was also a living indication of a warming climate.

The Florida pompano is just one of multiple species of animals, largely fish and birds, that are appearing in the state more frequently at least partially as a result of climate change. Though these newcomers can increase biodiversity and generate excitement among residents and fishermen, scientists caution that they are also warning signs of a changing ecosystem.

“It’s a sign that things are changing enough to cause shifts in distribution,” said Gwen Brewer, a science program manager with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife and Heritage Service. “We know not everything is going to adjust to those shifts in a positive way. Some species are going to be threatened by those changes.”

Well, yeah. That’s what happens on Earth, species spread. Warm and cool periods change things, no need to invoke witchcraft.

Jake Tapper Shocked By The Jew And Israel Hatred From His Comrades On The Left

By William Teach October 11, 2023 – 6:45 am

I’ve known about the hatred of Israel from the Left, especially on college campuses, since the late 90’s. It wasn’t till after 9/11 when it was really exposed, particularly with the explosion of the Internet, thanks to speed increases. Not only was it exposed but it grew, moving from being pro-Palestinian anti-Israel to straight up hatred of Jews, much like the Islamists in colleges. Where were they coming from? They were all linked to the Muslim Brotherhood going back to early in the 20th Century. They pushed the Israel and Jew hatred, but, with more talking and indoctrination rather than straight up violence. It’s insidious and spreads, and all those uber-white urban and suburban kids were easy pickings, especially with their liberal leanings. They’re running around with “free Palestine” merchandise and Intifada kefayas at demonstrations, being part of the “in-crowd”, Doing Something, slowly being more and more radicalized.

I could surely dig through the archives and find tons of examples. Zombie Time has tons of photos of their demonstrations. So, yeah, those of us who focused on the left, especially through the lens of anti-jihad, already knew this, Jake

CNN’s Tapper: Last Few Days Really Eye-Opening to ‘Antisemitism on the Left’

surprise surprise surpriseCNN anchor Jake Tapper said Tuesday on his show “The Lead” that after the Hamas terror attacks in Israel, the last few days have been a real eye-opening period “in terms of antisemitism on the left.”

Tapper said, “So you have a Democratic colleague from Michigan, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian American to serve in Congress, and she released a statement. ‘I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost. The path to peace must include lifting the blockade and, ending the occupation and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that could lead to resistance. As longs our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue.’ What was your reaction when you heard Congresswoman Tlaib’s statement?”

Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said, “To me, I think the hardest part, not just about that statement but a number of statements that have come out from organizations and individuals, I don’t question whether someone has the right to be angry at the Israeli government, I question their inability to condemn grievous, grievous violence and that is what has been difficult.”

Tapper said, “There does seem to be, look, we spent a lot of time during the Trump years looking at antisemitism on the right. This does. These last few days have been a real eye-opening period for a lot of people, a lot of Democrats and a lot progressives in terms of antisemitism on the left. A lot of people who seemed more shocks at dehumanizing language to describe Hamas than what Hamas actually perpetrated on Saturday.”

Slotkin said, “Yeah, I mean, look, antisemitism should be stamped out wherever it is on the right, or on the left.”

It’s a canard that there was Jew hatred on the right, unless you go out to the far, far, far right, which Conservatives disown. They do not share our values. They are not the GOP base. These people are the Democrat base. They are in elected positions. They teach the kiddies at Democratic Party run colleges. And it is not new. It is just more and more open. Almost 15% of Ilhan Omar’s district is foreign born, mostly from Africa and Asia, meaning Muslim countries there, like Somalia, and they refuse to assimilate and have brought their version of extremist Islam with them, which includes wanting to annihilate Israel and kill Jews.

https://twitter.com/BLMChi/status/1711793142742073573

That’s just one of hundreds of examples of big people and organizations, much less all the individual Democrats hating on Jews. It’s fashionable among them. They all have Reasons, but, their pro-Palestinian anti-Israel beliefs have led to wanting to wipe out Jews, the same as skinheads, the KKK, and white supremacists. Oh, and Muslims. I’d rather have a convo with a Trump deranged rather than most Muslims about Israel and Jews. It is not pretty.

I’ll give Biden credit, or, at least his comms room, for calling Hamas terrorists, especially since the State Dept deemed them as such back in 1997, all while most of the media, including Fox News, calls them “militants”.

Your Fault: Sugar Shortage Due To Global Boiling Bad Weather

By William Teach October 10, 2023 – 4:04 pm

With Halloween coming up, things are all doomy

World sugar shortage due to extreme weather threatening Halloween candy prices

Extreme weather has dealt major blows to the sugar industry worldwide this year, which could cost you more cash to fill up the trick-or-treat bags.

“This has been a very tough year for global sugar. If you look at the top ten producing countries this year, six of them have had extreme weather,” Chief Meteorologist at Everstream Analytics, John Davis, told FOX Weather. “And the ramification of that is higher prices for anything that you use sugar for, including candy.”

He points to drought in Thailand, the fourth-largest producer, cutting production by almost a quarter.

India, the US and Europe suffered flooding, representing the second, sixth and third top producers.

Everstream said that extreme weather is expected to decrease the global sugar supply by 10% to 15% over the 2023/24 growing season.

“Expected”. Will it or won’t it? Because there’s pretty much been a glut of sugar on the market, so, even a 10% to 15% decrease is no big deal. Was it Bad Weather that caused this?

(Nasdaq) Brazil’s sugar production in 2023/24 (April-March) is expected to be its largest ever in a season, with export volumes of the sweetener hitting a record high, consultancy Job Economia said in a report published on Thursday.

Brazil’s total sugar output, from all producing regions, was estimated at 42.7 million metric tons, 2.3 million tons more than Job Economia’s initial estimate and compared to 37 million tons in 2022/23, as the weather has been near perfect this season for crop growth and processing.

Was it Bad Weather that saw India have a record sugar crop last year?

“Sugar prices are the subject of conversation, but we are not in a scarcity situation with sugar supply, and we don’t anticipate any disruptions,” Todd Scott, senior communications manager at The Hershey Company, told FOX Weather in July. “Similarly, the price of sugar does not have an impact on our Halloween.”

And it is not just Halloween candy and baked goods seeing a price hike. Sugar can be used to make ethanol fuel.

Maybe we shouldn’t be using “food” for bad fuel. Anyhow, weather happens. Such is life on Earth. Still your fault.

NY Times Editorial Board Explicitly Takes Side Of Israel

By William Teach October 10, 2023 – 10:30 am

Going back to the NY Times, as it’s impressive that the editorial board actually takes a stand for Israel, with very little equivocating, considering how many Democrats are pro-Palestinian, and so anti-Israel that it becomes anti-Jew. Witness the Jew and Israel hatred protests in the streets of NYC over the past few days

The Attack on Israel Demands Unity and Resolve

The brutal terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas is a tragedy, one that may change the course of the nation and the entire region.

Israelis are reeling, in shock over the toll of people killed, wounded and taken hostage, and the world is mourning with them. The militants killed more than 800 Israelis in a series of coordinated rocket attacks and continued fighting. To the world’s horror, they attacked civilians — including older people, women and children — and took them hostage. More than 150 people remain captive in Gaza, in a further atrocity.

When the actions against civilians is described like that, they aren’t militants, they are terrorists. Heck, the U.S. State Department has Hamas on the list of terrorists

Hamas struck Israel 50 years and one day after the surprise invasion from Egypt and Syria that launched the Yom Kippur War of 1973, prompting comparisons with one of the major battles of the Arab-Israeli conflict. But this time the attackers were not Arab armies against military targets; they were militants from a Palestinian enclave randomly terrorizing civilians, and this attack was organized by armed groups that have long questioned Israel’s right to exist.

Reuters thinks the “dispute hinges on statehood, land, Jerusalem, refugees.” No. It hinges on this Islamist terrorist group wanting to kill Jews and wipe Israel off the map. That’s it. Everything else is window dressing.

It is also the administration’s duty to work to prevent this terrible eruption of violence from spreading from Gaza to involve Palestinians in the West Bank. Mr. Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and others have an invaluable role to play in maintaining open communication with leaders of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and of neighboring Arab states to urge calm.

They should be telling those in the West Bank that any incursion will be met with force. They won’t. The less said from this admin the better.

But Israel’s military strength depends on its national unity, and Israelis have now come together to defend themselves. The government has promised a severe and protracted response against Hamas. It began with multiple strikes on cities in Gaza, and Israel should do everything it can to avoid the loss of civilian lives. Already the Israeli government is cutting off power and water to Gaza, and it ordered a siege to starve Hamas of resources. This tactic, if it continues, will be an act of collective punishment. All sides involved in the conflict are bound by international law, and it is important to note that violations by one side do not permit violations by another.

Well, of course there had to be a little bit of “Israel should measure their response.” The people voted for Hamas. They support Hamas. They should have thought about it beforehand if they do not like being without water and energy.

Oh, and the last paragraph

The violence in Israel may also strengthen calls to cut military aid to Ukraine. That is a false choice; America’s duty as Israel’s friend is to stand firm in its support, to join the Israeli people in their grief and to continue to work toward an end to the cycle of violence.

They just couldn’t leave it alone. Israel is a long time ally. Ukraine is not. Israel has strategic importance to the U.S. Ukraine does not. Ukraine is full of literal Nazis and Fascists. Israel is not. Israel knows how to use the weapons we give them. Ukraine does not.
