Another example of how, even more than a year after the horrifying incident of October 7, 2023, there's still nasty ultra-Orthodox clans who're inciting against IDF personnel, doing things that they'd doubtless never do to Islamists:

A senior Israel Defense Forces officer responsible for advancing the draft of ultra-Orthodox soldiers to the military was attacked by a mob of Haredi men in Bnei Brak Thursday night.

Maj. Gen. David Zini, head of the Training Command and General Staff Corps and the “project manager” for drafting Haredi soldiers, was eating at a restaurant in Bnei Brak with one of his aides, a major, when dozens of Haredi men ganged up on the two officers, shouting “murderers” as they chased them through the streets of the ultra-Orthodox city, just east of Tel Aviv.

Police said that the two officers were rescued from the angry crowd and three suspects were arrested.

The suspects, aged 29, 24 and 19, will be brought to court later Friday.

Zini was attacked by a Haredi mob in Bnei Brak in July too, when he was in the central city following a meeting with Rabbi David Leybel, a proponent of programs that support members of the ultra-Orthodox community entering the workforce. [...]

The protesters on Thursday were affiliated with the Jerusalem Faction, an extremist ultra-Orthodox group numbering some 60,000 members that is considered among the most hardline opponents of efforts to extend enlistment requirements to yeshiva students and other Haredi men. The group has become known for periodically organizing large protests against the IDF in recent years.

Hours before the mob attacked the officers in Bnei Brak, members of the same extremist faction blocked traffic along a major highway nearby to demonstrate against intensifying efforts to conscript Haredi men into the military.

Those members of that extremist clan should be forced into army service and to fight in Gaza themselves, but you'd be correct if concerned the hoodlums could also attack innocent Israelis if given weapons. Maybe what they should be forced to do is serve in a medical unit. For now, they should be imprisoned and fined heavily for their crimes.

Robert Spencer points to the renewed focus on Britain's scandal of Muslim rape gangs in places like Rotherham, which UK authorities for years refused to take any serious action against:

In a series of posts on X, Elon Musk has been calling attention to a years-long scandal in Britain that was hushed up for years and is still receiving insufficient attention from British authorities: the phenomenon of rape gangs. These gangs have victimized tens of thousands of British girls, and quite likely many more than that. Yet for decades, authorities have been slow to altogether inactive in moving against them, and have occasionally even punished their victims and rewarded the perpetrators. The reason for this lies in the perpetrators’ identity and motivating ideology, which few dare to face.

In a Friday report on Musk’s calls for action on this, Fox News stated that “the U.K. has for years been dealing with the revelation that a number of grooming gangs, often consisting of men of South Asian or British Pakistani heritage, exploited children for decades across the north of England in cities and towns including Rochdale, Telford, Manchester, and Rotherham.” That is true, as far as it goes. It even accounts for a great deal of the official reticence in dealing with this problem: leftist British authorities were terrified of the likelihood that if they moved decisively against the rape gangs, they’d be tarred as “racist.”

In a 2014 report on rape gang activity in one city alone, Rotherham, investigators found that the gangs victimized 1,400 British children there between 1997 and 2013, and authorities were extremely slow to act. The report noted that “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.” This is the suicide of a nation mired in leftism.

It was the same story in another city, Telford, where a review established what was true all over the country: the perps were “Asian” (the British euphemism for “Pakistani Muslim”) and authorities were worried that an energetic prosecution “had the potential to start a ‘race riot.’”

Well as seen last year, the public was eventually pushed too far. It's also been reported that prime minister Sir Keir Starmer, as a former prosecutor for the Crown courts, has some responsibility to shoulder, and he's making things worse by dismissing everything as merely "far-right":

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer criticised Elon Musk and others for jumping on the “bandwagon of the far-right” for raising criticisms over the grooming gang child rape scandal and demanding fresh national investigations.

In his first major comments since international scrutiny was raised over the failures to protect thousands of mostly young white girls from sexual predators, mostly of Muslim extraction and from Pakistan, Prime Minister Starmer once again shot down the idea that a national public inquiry is necessary.

The government has claimed that previous localised reports are sufficient and that rather than examining the failures of local police, politicians, and other officials, the focus should be on implementing changes called for by previous reports.

However, Prime Minister Starmer has personally come under scrutiny, and some suggest that he may have been complicit in the failures during his tenure as the nation’s top prosecutor between 2008 and 2013. [...]

Both Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who has raised the issue for over a decade, and recently installed leader of the Tories Kemi Badenoch have called for a national inquiry into the scandal.

Responding to Starmer’s comments on Monday morning, Reform MP Rupert Lowe said: “There is nothing “far-right” about wanting justice for thousands of British girls who were abused and raped by mainly Pakistani gangs.

“Not a far-right ‘bandwagon’, as Starmer says – we must move past these slurs. Focus on the girls, and brutal justice for those responsible.”

For his part, Mr Musk claimed: “Starmer was deeply complicit in the mass rapes in exchange for votes. That’s what the inquiry would show.”

The possibility Starmer could have any accountability in this horror is chilling, and exactly why it's a travesty he was elected premier. The UK government has also refused to release info on whether they've successfully deported any sex offenders:

The British government is reportedly refusing to release data on the number of grooming gang child rapists it has successfully deported from the country as it continues to refuse to launch a national public inquiry.

According to a report from The Telegraph, the UK Home Office — the department tasked with immigration enforcement — has refused to publicly release statistics on the number of foreign grooming gang child rapists removed from the country.

One such convicted rapist believed to still be in the country is Qari Abdul Rauf, who was convicted of trafficking and raping a 15-year-old girl in Rochdale. Despite his horrific crimes, the grooming gang ringleader was freed from prison early and set loose after two and a half years back onto the very same streets where he and others preyed on vulnerable girls.

In 2015, then-Home Secretary Theresa May ordered that Rauf and fellow groomer Adil Khan should be stripped of their British citizenship and deported to their native country of Pakistan.

Yet, the government’s efforts were stymied after the pair renounced their Pakistani citizenship and launched a series of taxpayer-funded appeals, claiming that it would violate their human rights to be deported to their homeland.

The government's failure to stand up to such atrocious tactics is deplorable. Nigel Farage says the Reform UK party will fund an investigation into the scandal if the Labour party won't:

Nigel Farage has vowed that his Reform UK party will fund an inquiry into the child rape grooming gang scandal if the left-wing Labour government continues to refuse to launch a full public inquiry.

The Reform leader, who for over a decade has been a leading voice criticising the failures of authorities and successive governments to safeguard young girls from mostly Muslim Pakistani rape gangs, has said that his party is willing to raise the money to appoint “independent ex-judges and experts” to conduct an inquiry into the scandal.

“If the Labour government won’t hold a full public inquiry into the widespread mass rape scandal, then we at Reform UK will. Raising the money won’t be a problem,” Farage said on Monday evening.

The Reform boss said there is an “overwhelming demand” for a fresh investigation. Yet, the government has resisted calls for a full inquiry, claiming that previous reports have been sufficient and that the focus should be on implementing recommendations rather than re-litigating the past.

Unfortunately for now, the Labour party's blocked a bill in the House of Commons calling for a renewal of the investigation:

The governing left-wing Labour Party has blocked a vote that would have established a public inquiry into the abuses committed by mostly Muslim Pakistani men against white British girls and the politically correct failures of authorities to protect young girls.

The Labour Party blocked the Tories’ amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill to establish a national public inquiry after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer reportedly whipped his MPs into voting against the measure. 350 Labour MPs voted against the amendment, while 101 Conservatives and all five Reform MPs voted for the bill. However, there were over 170 abstentions, including former Conservative PM Rishi Sunak and the entirety of the Liberal Democrats.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said that the move by Starmer to block the bill was “disgusting” and accused the Labour Party of moral “cowardice”.

“Labour MPs have put their Party ahead of getting to the truth and turned a blind eye to justice for the victims. Labour MPs will have to explain to the British people why they are against learning the truth behind the torture and rape of countless vulnerable girls,” he said per The Telegraph.

Well if any Tories are guilty of enabling this inability to get a serious investigation going, that's telling quite a bit about this horrific scandal too, and no doubt, there's similar cases going on in France too. All concerned must do whatever possible to bring attention to this abomination of justice, and let's hope Farage can be of help.

The French politician who was sadly one of the most antisemitic creeps of his time has died at age 96:

Jean-Marie Le Pen, the former leader of the French National Front party, presidential candidate, member of the European Parliament, and patriarch of the Le Pen political family dynasty, has died at the age of 96.

A figure who loomed large over French politics over the past five decades, Mr Le Pen was hailed Tuesday by his supporters as a fearless “patriot” and derided by his detractors as a fascist and an antisemite.

Tragically, he was. And despite any claims to the contrary, he wasn't really opposed to Islam any more than Jean-Luc Melanchon was. As a result, his supposed opposition to mass migration was all a sham, and besides, when somebody like that gets chummy with despots like the late Saddam Hussein, something is terribly wrong.

In a moment of historical coincidence, Le Pen’s death was announced on the day that France marked the tenth anniversary of the Islamist attack on the offices of the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine, in which two Algerian jihadists shot and killed 12 people and injured 11 more in reprisal for the magazine publishing a caricature of Mohammed.

After reiterating his belief that the Holocaust was a “detail” in 2015, the party he founded voted to expel him, and two years later, his daughter Marine Le Pen renamed the party to the National Rally (Rassemblement National) in a bid to distance herself and the party from her father’s legacy. Their relationship never fully recovered after the split.

While he cast the move as politically suicidal, Marine Le Pen has grown the party to the largest in the French parliament. She currently stands as the frontrunner to replace Emmanuel Macron as president of the republic when his second and final term ends in 2027. [...]

Far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon said that “respect for the dignity of the dead and the grief of their loved ones does not erase the right to judge their actions,” accusing Le Pen of spreading “hatred, racism, Islamophobia, and antisemitism.”

Also notice how Melenchon repeats the morally equivalent cliche of blurring the difference between "islamophobia" and antisemitism, which he himself has been just as guilty of. There's just no excuse.

Julian Jackson notes how Jean-Marie Le Pen did little more than poison French/European politics, and unfortunately, he did do only so much to damage efforts to oppose the spread of Islamofascism. I seriously doubt he even wanted to defend Charlie Hebdo's own freedom of speech. He won't be missed, and it's to be hoped his departure will help improve the landscape again one day.

Finally, after nearly a dozen years of disastrous policies in Canada, prime minister Trudeau has resigned his undeserved position:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation on Monday, saying he intends to step down from the top job and as the leader of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party once a new party leader is chosen.

“I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its new leader,” the 53-year-old leader told reporters at a news conference in Ottawa on Monday.

Canada’s parliament will be suspended until March 24 while a new Liberal Party leader is chosen, he also said.

Trudeau added that he has “one regret” – failing to reform Canada’s election process, ahead of a general election expected this fall.

“If I have one regret, particularly as we approach this election — well, probably many regrets that I will think of,” the outgoing leader said. “But I do wish we’d been able to change the way we elect our governments in this country so that people could simply choose a second choice, or a third choice on the same ballot.”

And what would those choices be? Maybe an Islamic caliphate, like what all the Moslem immigration to the country could one day lead to? Not to mention the horrific transsexual pandering that's ruined the great white north too? I once discovered Trudeau's father Pierre was a communist sympathiser, and that kind of kowtowing is equally harmful, and did no favors for Canada's reputation.

Trudeau won't be missed as a premier, and it's to be hoped a better government will be elected when the time comes. And if it's Pierre Poliviere, it's to be hoped he'll prove a far better, more responsible leader. Someone has to put a halt to the horrible antisemitism and misogyny that's now plauging Canada.

Update: here's an op-ed about how bad Canada became for Jews and others under Trudeau.

Reelected POTUS Donald Trump intends to impose special sanctions upon the ICC in response to the offensive actions they're taking against Israelis and others opposed to Islamic terrorism:

The sanctions package will target both individual ICC personnel, including judges and prosecutors, and the institution as a whole. The administration intends to classify the ICC as an organization threatening US interests, employing designation procedures similar to those used by the US State Department for terrorist organizations globally. This designation will trigger severe restrictions on anyone involved with the court's operations.

Financial institutions worldwide will be required to terminate relationships with ICC personnel or face US sanctions themselves. Mirroring actions taken against sanctioned Israeli citizens by the outgoing administration, ICC staff will find themselves unable to perform routine banking operations or use credit cards. Their economic activities will be effectively frozen, with exceptions only for essential needs such as food purchases. Furthermore, all US-based assets belonging to ICC employees and the institution will be frozen.

The incoming administration's strategy extends beyond unilateral actions, as it plans to secure commitments from US allies to reject cooperation with arrest warrants targeting Israeli officials.

Based on what the ICC is like today, it would be for the best if it went out of business altogether. A new court could be formed to replace it too, if anybody thought it workable. Trump's got an excellent position on how to deal with the corrupt ICC.

It would seem the Golden Globes award ceremony in Hollywood this Sunday has been putting all its eggs into the basket of an ideology that's come to be viewed as repellent by the USA public:

Transgenderism will play a major role at this year’s Golden Globes Awards on Sunday, with best picture frontrunners Emilia Perez and Conclave both featuring gender non-conformity as major plot points.

The 82nd annual Golden Globes, which will air live Sunday on CBS, faces an uphill battle with ratings, which have tanked in recent years as tens of millions of Americans have elected to tune out in order to avoid the woke sermonizing by wealthy celebrities.

Last year’s broadcast managed to draw just 9.4 million viewers — way down from pre-COVID years when the show would attract double that. As recently as 2020, about 18.4 million tuned in to watch the awards show. [...]

A Golden Globes win for Gascón wouldn’t be the first time the show has honored a transgender performer.

Two years ago, transgender star MJ Rodriguez — also a man who identifies as a woman — won for lead actress in a drama series for FX’s Pose.

Conclave is the best picture frontrunner in the drama category.

The Focus Features release dramatizes a power struggle in the Vatican over the election of a new pope. In a plot twist, the new pope turns out to be intersex — a “male” who possesses female reproductive organs.

It's sad how science fiction is being made to look like reality, or exploited for the sake of crude and perverse ideologies. Regrettably, one of the films did win a prize, even though Demi Moore won for best actress:

Emilia Perez took home the Golden Globes award for best picture comedy or musical on Sunday. It also won two other prizes for supporting actress Zoe Saldana and best non-English language movie.

The French-produced, mostly Spanish-language movie tells the story of a Mexican cartel boss who attempts to escape the drug trade by undergoing a sex-change operation to become a “woman.” Real-life transgender actor Karla Sofía Gascón — a biological man who identifies as a woman — plays the title role.

Gascón was tipped to win a best actress prize on Sunday, but Demi Moore prevailed for her performance in the body-horror movie The Substance.

Emilia Perez is widely expected to score multiple Academy Award nominations this week, with Netflix’s formidable publicity machine ratcheting up the buzz around the Jacques Audiard-directed movie.

When Netflix is involved, it's one more sign to stay away. And while Moore may have won the best actress award, the theme of her movie is just as awful. It's definitely time to stop watching the Golden Globes, based on where they're going.

This is no shock at all when one considers what these "rebels" are really like:

Syria’s newly formed government is under fire following the announcement of proposed changes to the school curriculum. Critics have voiced concerns that the amendments, which some perceive as introducing an Islamist bias, could reshape the country’s educational framework, CNN reported Thursday.

Details of the changes were posted on the education ministry’s official Facebook page, according to the report.

Among the modifications are alterations to certain phrases: “path of goodness” has been replaced with “Islamic path,” and the phrase “those who are damned and have gone astray” now explicitly refers to “Jews and Christians,” reflecting a strict interpretation of a Quranic verse.

Additionally, the definition of “martyr” has shifted from someone who died for their homeland to someone who sacrificed their life “for the sake of God.” Entire chapters, such as one on “the origins and evolution of life,” have been removed altogether.

Although it is unclear whether these changes have been implemented, they are intended to affect students aged 6 to 18, according to CNN.

[...] HTS leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, now Syria’s de facto leader. has recently emphasized efforts to dissociate the group from its Al-Qaeda roots, promoting a vision of a government centered on tolerance and inclusivity. At the same time, he also recently said that the new Syrian regime will operate according to Sharia law.

In that case, they haven't distanced themselves from al Qaeda so much as they have employed taqqiya. So it's clear this is no more than a sad case of one tyrant being replaced by another. Exactly why the regime as it stands now in Syria can't be recognized as valid.

Just a short time after the terrorist attack in New Orleans, a march by Islamic terror supporters took place in New York City at Times Square, calling for another intifada (via Breitbart):

Several hundred demonstrators called for an intifada on Wednesday at an anti-Israel protest in New York City’s Times Square to mark New Year’s Day.

Attendees chanted “Resistance is glorious — we will be victorious,” “We will honor all our martyrs,” and “Gaza, you make us proud.” They carried signs that said “Zionism is cancer,” “No war on Iran,” and “End all US aid to Israel.”

“There is only one solution — Intifada revolution,” they chanted, using a common refrain at anti-Israel rallies in the US. “Intifada,” Arabic for “uprising,” is associated with the Second Intifada, a period of terror attacks in Israel in the early 2000s marked by suicide bombings.

Speakers at the Wednesday rally urged attendees to recommit to anti-Israel activism in the new year.

“2024 was a year of struggle against the crime of Zionism,” a speaker told the crowd. “We will be here every single year for generation after generation until total liberation and return.” [...]

A handful of pro-Israel counter-protesters showed up to wave Israeli and American flags on the sidelines of the demonstration, while heckling the anti-Israel activists. A Jewish retiree led chants of “Get a job” directed at the protesters.

Arguments broke out between the two sides situated on opposite sides of a metal barrier. One anti-Israel protester shouted “Hamas,” “Go back to Europe” and “You’re all white people” at the pro-Israel demonstrators, and hurled racist slurs at a Black member of the pro-Israel group.

NYC, as it's been in the last decade or so, has really sunk to new lows if they allow this, which amounts to little more than exploitation of "free speech rights" as an excuse to espouse pro-violence slogans. All the officials in charge of the Big Apple have done is let their city become infested with vermin, much like Europe itself. This will have tragic consequences in the future.

One of the worst presidents in USA history has passed away at the age of a century:

Former US President Jimmy Carter passed away on Sunday at the age of 100.

Carter’s son, Chip, said his father died in his home in Plains, Georgia. The former president entered home hospice care in February of 2023 after a series of short hospital stays.

He was the first US President to reach his 100th birthday.

Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. During his one term in office, he facilitated the 1979 peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, the first peace agreement signed between Israel and an Arab country.

In recent years, Carter had made controversial statements related to Israel. In 2013, he called on the European Union (EU) to label products coming from "illegal Israeli settlements".

In May of 2014, the former President supported the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) unilateral push to join international organizations in breach of the ongoing peace talks with Israel.

In 2015, Carter painted a bleak picture of the prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) while placing the blame for the deadlock on Israel.

“At this moment, there is zero chance of the two-state solution. These are the worst prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinians for years,” he said at the time, and then proceeded to say he didn’t think that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “has any intention” of making progress towards the goal.

“The Netanyahu government decided early on to adopt a one-state solution, but without giving them [the Palestinians] equal rights,” he charged.

Rosalynn Carter, Jimmy Carter’s wife of 77 years, died in November 2023. They are survived by their children Amy, Chip, Jack and Jeff, 11 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren.

This is all stuff that the MSM won't look over objectively, and as noted here, the MSM's gone out of their way to rewrite history in his favor. Carter, alas, was a huge embarrassment, and did nothing positive for Israel, as the above news indicates.

Update: Daniel Greenfield has more.

Update 2: a contributor to CNN, of all places, was willing to admit Carter was an awful president.

I once discovered Walmart was selling neo-Nazi t-shirts many years ago, and that was disgusting. Now, this year, it turns out they didn't change much over time, as they recently allowed sales of t-shirts glorifying Hamas and Hezbollah, and thankfully, those abominations were removed (via Jihad Watch):

US retail giant Walmart has apparently removed at least four shirts it offered for sale online that featured pictures of slain terror chiefs Yahya Sinwar and Hassan Nasrallah, after the garments were slammed as “outrageous” by an antisemitism watchdog.

One of the shirts showed former Hamas leader Sinwar’s face and his name broken into “Sin” and “war,” while another featured a doctored caricature of the terror mastermind firing a weapon while in combat gear.

Killed by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip in October, Sinwar led the Palestinian terror group in Gaza from 2017 until his death. He masterminded the October 7, 2023, invasion and massacre in southern Israel, in which thousands of Hamas-led terrorists killed some 1,200 people and kidnapped 251, sparking the ongoing war in Gaza.

The shirts were flagged by US-based watchdog Stop Antisemitism, which wrote in a post on X early Tuesday that “Walmart shoppers were horrified to find shirts glorifying Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar while online shopping.”

“Walmart, are you aware you’re selling apparel celebrating terrorism and violence against Jews?” the post continued, calling for the items to be removed immediately.

A third Sinwar shirt which featured a graphic of Sinwar above the word “RESIST” in the style of former US president Barack Obama’s “HOPE” campaign, also appeared to have been taken down between Tuesday and Wednesday, though the image still appears in online searches.

A shirt featuring a low-resolution picture of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, who was assassinated by Israel in a Beirut airstrike, had also been removed by Wednesday morning.

So again, Walmart's proven they're bottom of the barrel, morally or otherwise, for a commercial sales deparment store chain. Why must anyone continue to buy from them? They don't need any sensible person's money.

But this does also raise the question of whether t-shirts should be developed starring heroic figures from history. Perhaps that's something pro-Israel advocates should emphasize in reaction to this atrocity, and try to encourage admiration for more positive examples?

It's bizarre enough, to be sure, when people who supposedly follow Judaist customs want to convert wholesale, but that's the situation in the USA, if anywhere, and there's rabbinical courts who're now deciding to reject any who side with anti-Israel movements:

Leading rabbis in the United States and Israel are contemplating whether to prohibit Jewish conversion for individuals who have participated in anti-Israel demonstrations. In recent months, multiple rabbis, primarily in the US, have grappled with the issue of converting individuals who display clear anti-Israel sentiments yet seek to join the Jewish faith, forcing them to decide whether this constitutes a deal-breaker. While no actual ban has been implemented on any specific protester to date, such a decision appears to be imminent.

Rabbi Elchanan Poupko, a prominent young rabbi in the United States, has delved deeply into this question. He recently approached both chief rabbis, Rabbi Kalman Ber and Rabbi David Yosef, with this inquiry. Simultaneously, he consulted several well-known rabbis in Israel, with Rabbi David Stav explicitly ruling that such individuals should not be converted.

"In the past year, a renewed wave of hatred toward Israel has swept the world," Rabbi Poupko wrote to the chief rabbis. He noted that these individuals are effectively Israel-haters, even though they "claim they don't hate Israel and that all their talk stems from compassion for the Palestinian people and their desire to help them." These protesters "demonstrate in front of synagogues, study halls, and Jewish schools, harass Israelis, assault them, and engage in various other forms of persecution, as well as write about Israel as if they were evil murderers, blood libels similar to what Israel-haters did in previous generations."

Rabbi Poupko mentioned that at least one rabbinical court in the US encountered a case where an individual who participated in anti-Israel protests sought conversion, raising questions about the process.

"While they accepted the commandments to live as an observant Jew, and the court found no fault in their observance of Sabbath, kosher laws, and so forth, they discovered the individual had participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations and questioned whether this fact diminishes the acceptance of this person as a convert," he wrote.

The reason, according to him, is that since this person actively harms Jews, they distance themselves from Judaism, even if they are willing to accept the religious laws. "By choosing to participate with Israel's enemies against the majority of the Jewish people who live in the Land of Israel, even though they said 'your God is my God,' it is nevertheless inconceivable to convert them."

A vital point can also be made that if the alleged converts see nothing wrong with barbarism as embodied by Islam, that's another reason to shun them, since it contradicts Judaism's values entirely, right down to the 10 Commandments' opposition to murder. To be sure, these specific individuals are likely trying to convert in order to destroy the Judaist religion from within, and that's why they're dangerous. If they don't abandon support for blood libel propaganda against Israel along with acceptance of barbarism and sexual violence, they cannot be accepted as converts.

Rabbi Poupko, who has dealt extensively with this issue, wrote an article on the subject that is expected to be published in the Techumin journal. In the article, he noted, "There is no doubt that the rabbinical court has been given authority to accept or reject the convert based on their understanding of the worldview and commandments that the convert accepts upon themselves, and to what extent they believe they will continue on the path of Torah and commandments after conversion." Therefore, "Since this convert who demonstrates against Israel comes before a more general rabbinical court, the court can tell them that their worldview is not their worldview... they can and must tell them that they cannot accept them."

In such a case, he suggested, that convert is invited to go to a rabbinical court of ultra-Orthodox groups that oppose Israel, such as Satmar or Neturei Karta, and they will make the decision. "It's impossible to accept both positions. They cannot follow the conditions of Jewish law and customs of the Satmar Hasidic movement while also opposing the Jewish people's residence in their land."

It looks like he may have made a slight goof there, since the Satmar - and especially Neturei Karta - would be more than delighted to recruit people with views hostile to Israel. Come to think of it, it wouldn't be shocking if some women who're anti-Israel would have no issue with customs like shaving the hair off their heads and relying on wigs instead, and they'd probably see it coinciding perfectly with recent woke mentalities on the left like taking up an uglified body. In which case, one could say they deserve each other.

Anyway, when it comes to converts who do recognize why barbarism is wrong, the rabbinical courts would do well to make the Judaist religion look welcome in the sense that women should not have to dress modestly, and can seek careers in fashion modeling, dance, music singing and stuff like that without acting like it's inherently wrong. After all, if anybody wishes to let women know they respect their femininity, the above point is an important one for how to do so. Orthodox Judaists would do well to remember that.

Giulio Meotti addresses the latest terrible incidents of jihadist attacks in Europe, the most recent being assaults on Christmas markets:

Anyone who went to a European Christmas market in the 1990s and early 2000s would never have thought that their life could be in danger. Those days are gone.

In October we discovered that the killer who murdered the children in Southport, England, was not a slightly crazy Rwandan Christian refugee, as the English government and all the mainstream media had assured us, but a terrorist with an Al Qaeda manual in his house and chemical material to make a bomb. For four months they kept the truth hidden. Why?

And who remembers the “Christian kamikaze”, Emad Al Swealmeen, the name of the Liverpool attacker? “Enzo Almeni,” as his friends called him, was an asylum seeker with a Syrian father and Iraqi mother who had changed his name to sound “more Western” and had faked a conversion to Christianity to hide his identity and motives. He wanted to attack the cathedral.

Now we have the Saudi doctor who killed 5 people at a Christmas market in the city of Magdeburg, central Germany.

There is now discussion about the identity of the attacker, a Saudi doctor who claimed to have abandoned Islam, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen. And so the morning after the massacre we woke up to a sea of idiocies based on his statements that he is a “former Muslim”. Why an attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg against Christians?

The dear doctor was pro-Hamas. Many former Muslims who knew him assure us that he never gave up Islam and that he cheated the West to be given asylum.

Did he practice taqiya, which is an Islamic practice that allows believers to deceive the enemy, pretend to be something else, in order to carry out Jihad?

The Saudis had warned the Germans that Taleb was dangerous.

Despite this, German authorities completely ignored and enabled the monster to attack the Christmas market's patrons. This chillingly makes it look like they're okay with what the Religion of Peace stands for. And that ignorance is exactly what leads to the tragedies Europe now faces along with many other regions.

According to this news, the publishers of Evie have developed some women's dresses through a fashion affiliate of theirs that are something even religious Israeli women should consider:

A women’s magazine is going viral after introducing a new line of provocative dresses. While everyone is allowed to express their opinions, conservatives are missing the point.

Our culture is starved of beautiful things. Everything women are sold to wear is either casual clothes or made to make women appear more masculine. From oversized sweaters and pants to yoga leggings and matching sweatsuits, femininity is left out of the equation when designers craft our wardrobes.

Enter Evie Magazine. Evie has never claimed to be a conservative magazine. For goodness sake, its website boasts sex and relationship tips. However, it wants to be a magazine where women can find beauty and reconnect with their feminine style. Between the posts about the harms of birth control, marital advice and sweet Christmas traditions, they started a dress line with their brand Sundress.co.

Well it's definitely something feminine, and that's the point many alleged conservatives missed for ages. All these years, would-be conservatives went hysterical over stuff that's supposed to emphasize a woman's femininity, and is far from "porn" as the hystericals claim. In Israel, there's Haredis and their bleeding-heart supporters who've made things worse when they attack admirable outfits like these, and they have to stop this at once, because all it's done is give leftists ammunition to use against right-wingers in Israel and elsewhere. Of course, even leftists here have abandoned whatever respect they supposedly had for femininity (when they see nothing wrong with the Islamic niqab, that should make clear where they really stand), and any right-winger who doesn't want to give Judaism a bad name should embrace what Sundress is offering too. I'll definitely defend this dress on this side of the Atlantic. So congratulations to Evie and Sundress for designing these dresses. They're something Israeli women - including religious women - should wear too, for many reasons.

Breccan Thies talks about a new documentary about the UK's left wing establishment and what a problem it's become:

Liz Truss, the former British prime minister who only lasted 44 days in office, is sounding the alarm on the permanent bureaucracy, or the deep state, which she believes poses the biggest existential threat to Western civilization.

“The Prime Minister vs. The Blob,” a documentary from Palladium Productions and the Wall Street Journal Opinions section, dives into Truss’ short tenure as a case study in which a world leader can effectively be deposed by the self-proclaimed expert class of unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats (which the British not-so-affectionately call “The Blob”).

The film is available for free on the Wall Street Journal’s website.

Truss’ account of the problem in Britain is not unlike the rot experienced in the American administrative deep state, known as The Swamp: An arrogant group of technocrats who believe they should have the power to dictate their worldview to the populace and see the people of their own country as a cultureless and bitter enemy.

Well it should be noted even Truss didn't do enough to improve the dire state long dominant in the UK, but even so, of course the deep-state in Britain is a problem, and shouldn't be ignored. I'm sure this documentary is worth something, and let's hope somebody has what it takes to make one about France's deep state as well, because that's easily worse, and can't be ignored either.

So after at least a few years of this LGBT-pandering insanity, Biden and Harris, a few weeks before their administration ends, have withdrawn a terrible proposal:

The Biden-Harris administration on Friday officially withdrew a proposed Title IX rule that would have forced all publicly-funded schools to largely allow males to participate in female sports if the athletes “identify” as female.

The administration admitted that the decision to withdraw was because of public backlash, and the numerous lawsuits that were sparked from the gender rule-change.

“In light of the comments received and those various pending court cases, the Department has determined not to regulate on this issue at this time,” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a five-page docket published Friday.

According to Cardona, the Department of Education received more than 150,000 public comments about the proposal, National Review noted. “Commenters offered a broad spectrum of opinions,” the docket said, adding, “there are multiple pending lawsuits related to the application of Title IX in the context of gender identity.”

I suppose the reason for this was mostly because the Democrats lost the recent election, and Donald Trump was reelected POTUS. Whatever, it's very fortunate this type of insanity has been abandoned, because even without it, more than enough damage was already done to women's rights and status as it is. A lot of damage that'll take whole epochs to repair.

Terrence Jeffrey points out that Christians dwelling in Syria are becoming some of the biggest victims of the new Islamofascist regime that's now imposing worse sharia than Bashar Assad did. A most terrible incident even before that from over a decade ago was the following:

A story that ran on Sept. 6, 2013, in the London Daily Telegraph carried this headline: “Village that speaks the language of Christ taken by al-Qaeda.”

“The inhabitants are mostly Melkite Greek Catholic and Orthodox Christians, who have historically lived peacefully alongside Sunni Muslims,” reported the Telegraph. “It is one of only three places in the world where Western Aramaic, a dialect of the language spoken by Christ, is still used.”

“‘They entered the main square and smashed a statue of the Virgin Mary,’ said one resident, speaking by phone and too frightened to give his name,” the Telegraph reported.

Maaloula, the Associated Press said, is “famous for two of the oldest surviving monasteries in Syria – Mar Sarkis and Mar Takla.”

“The stones are shaking,” a nun at the Mar Takla monastery told the Associated Press. “We don’t know if the rebels have left or not, nobody dares go out.” But then they had no choice but to go out.

In a report published by the Telegraph on Sept. 9, 2013, one of the nuns in Maaloula blamed the Syrian army for not saving them from the attack.

“Our army, the Syrian army, has failed us,” she said, according to the Telegraph. “We called the army, we begged them to come inside Maaloula and save us but they stayed outside. They abandoned us because we are Christians.”

That December, the nuns from this convent were kidnapped.

“Opposition fighters abducted 12 nuns from a Christian village overrun by rebels, Syria’s Greek Orthodox patriarch and the head of a convent said Tuesday, adding to fears that hardline Muslim rebels trying to overthrow President Bashar Assad were increasingly targeting Christians,” the Associated Press reported on Dec. 4, 2013.

“The nuns and three other women were seized Monday from the Greek Orthodox Mar Takla convent in the village of Maaloula,” the report said.

In March 2014, a deal was struck to free these nuns.

“They were freed as part of a prisoner exchange involving some 150 women and children held by the Syrian government,” the BBC reported on March 10, 2014.

There was speculation that a ransom had also been paid to their kidnappers. “Two rebel leaders from Yabroud claimed Qatar had offered to pay $4m for the nuns’ release, but that the al-Nusra Front had demanded $50m and the release of detained women and children,” BBC reported. “Syrian state media reports did not mention any swap or payment.”

Syria retook Maaloula a month later — with the help of Hezbollah terrorists.

“Syrian soldiers backed by Hezbollah fighters recaptured the town of Maaloula,” Reuters reported on April 14, 2014.

Now, a decade later, after Assad was brought down, such horrific sharia poses an even worse threat. It's to be hoped Israel will address this situation, as it has the case of Druze communities on the Syrian side of the border who'd like to merge with Israel. And Shmuel Katz has said Israel should stand with those seeking stability, which must also include Europe. Until then, it must also be wondered if USA Christian movements will address this issue, because, let's recall what Front Page writers noted about certain councils of bishops in the USA being ready and willing to kowtow to the Religion of Peace if the film about Betty Mahmoody were made today.

And the accusation that Christians were abandoned by Syria's army are valid. That's how it otherwise is when those who allow the Religion of Peace to dominate are in charge.

Canada's authorities continue failing to keep the environment safe for Jews or anybody else (via Breitbart):

Prayer services at Congregation Beth Tikvah were held outdoors Wednesday morning, as the synagogue entrance was taped off after a crude firebomb was thrown through a window overnight.

It’s the second time the building has been attacked in 14 months. The synagogue was the target of a Molotov cocktail in November 2023, one month before Hanukkah. Wednesday’s attack took place one week before the Jewish holiday.[...]

During an inspection at 7:20 a.m., police discovered two windows were smashed in the Federation CJA building [housing local Jewish institutions] across the street. No incendiary objects were found at that location.

Justin Trudeau's condemnations are not enough, and this only marks another example of one of his many failures to protect any innocents in Canada.

An investigation by Le Figaro reveals Le Monde, a newspaper which may practically be owned by political sources in France, has a very horrific level of antisemitism going on in their ranks:

In an unprecedented exposé, Le Figaro has published damaging revelations about antisemitic content and Hamas support within Le Monde's newsroom, one of France's largest and most influential newspapers.

In a lengthy and pointed investigation, Le Figaro, the center-right competitor, took the unusual step of revealing internal details from Le Monde's newsroom, including photographs showing content that staff members are exposed to, reflecting what it describes as political activism promoting an anti-Israel agenda.

In one corner of the new editorial office near the Austerlitz station in central Paris, employees have created a large wall of propaganda pieces and illustrations focused solely on the war in Gaza, rather than French politics or global issues like climate change. The wall, dubbed the "Gaza Wall," features cartoons with accusations of genocide in Gaza and lists of alleged massacres that Israel or Jews supposedly committed before the state's establishment.

There may be some employees at Le Monde who find this chilling, but they're scared to speak publicly about it. This is no shock, but it does make clear anybody in France who understands how this not only causes serious harm, but also takes away attention from the more serious issues of Islamofascism destroying France, has got to stop paying money for such a bottom of the barrel newspaper. And advertising should be withdrawn from their pages too. There's got to be quite a few far-left newspapers and such in France worth boycotting now, and the time's come to do so.

Over the past 3 decades, a lot of abortion clinics in the USA closed, but it's not necessarily for the right reasons (via Daily Signal):

More than two out of every three abortion facilities in the United States have closed their doors since 1990 — but abortion still represents “a dark, bloody, hopeless stain on humanity,” according to a new report released on Tuesday.

A total of 667 abortion facilities are currently doing business in the United States, according to Operation Rescue’s 2024 annual survey of abortion facilities, three fewer than last year. That represents a sharp decrease from 706 in 2020 and a whopping 69% lower than the 2,176 U.S. abortion facilities operating in 1990, according to the report, which tracks the ebbs and flows of the U.S. abortion industry.

“There is no doubt that abortion facilities are struggling to survive in this post-Roe environment,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “As we conduct our extensive investigations, we continue to see evidence that abortion clinics are facing challenges hiring and keeping abortionists.”

As of the publication date, 29 abortion facilities had closed down or stopped committing abortions in 2024, and another 20 ceased seeing abortion-minded women in person, often choosing to distribute abortion pills. At the same time, 46 facilities opened or resumed carrying out abortions. Overall, the number of in-person abortion facilities decreased, from 670 to 667: 377 surgical abortion facilities and 290 that carry out chemical abortions alone.

But if you look at this through modern lens, is this happening for the right reasons?

Explanations for the falling number of abortions vary. Young people today report having less sex than their parents. Researchers have documented “decreases in all modes of partnered sex” between 2009 and 2018. Additional studies trace the decline to at least 1989.

Well this is obviously very bad. And making matters worse:

The report also documents the abortion industry’s increasing trend of stepping deeply into the transgender industry. “A significant number of independent abortion clinics are offering gender-subversion drugs, and most Planned Parenthood affiliates are capitalizing on this lucrative, population-reducing initiative,” notes Operation Rescue.

“An abortionist might spend an hour killing several innocent babies then spend another hour forever sterilizing vulnerable young people,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “These facilities are a dark, bloody, hopeless stain on humanity.”

This has got to be even more horrific. To be sure, universities have a lot of responsibility here, and that's one more reason why it'd be best to defund them after the whole debacle they're causing, along with Planned Parenthood.

Because of the horrific antisemitism in Ireland, the Israeli embassy will be shuttered:

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar ordered the closure of Israel's embassy in Ireland today, marking a significant downturn in bilateral relations while announcing plans to establish a new diplomatic presence in Moldova.

The decision to shutter the Dublin mission comes in response to what Sa'ar characterized as the Irish government's "extreme anti-Israel policies." The diplomatic relationship had already been strained after Ireland's unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, which prompted Israel to recall its ambassador. Tensions escalated further last week when Ireland announced it would join South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, which accuses Israel of genocide.

"Ireland's antisemitic actions and rhetoric against Israel are rooted in delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and reflect clear double standards," Sa'ar said. "Ireland has crossed all red lines in its treatment of Israel. We will redirect our resources toward advancing bilateral relations with countries based on priorities that reflect how different nations relate to Israel."

In contrast, Israel's relationship with Moldova is warm and cooperative, with both countries eager to deepen their diplomatic ties. Moldova already maintains an embassy in Israel, and Sa'ar informed Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popșoi of his decision to establish an Israeli embassy in Chișinău, planned for early 2025. The foreign minister has directed his ministry's director general to secure appropriate premises and initiate the process of appointing an ambassador.

The Irish government's representatives show no sign so far of remorse for their offensive conduct:

Ireland’s Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Simon Harris reacted, “This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law.”

Despite Harris’ protestations that Ireland’s government is not anti-Israel, the evidence suggests otherwise.

In February 2024, then-Taoiseach Leo Varadkar denounced a possible Israeli operation into the Hamas stronghold in Rafah, saying it would be a “gross violation of international law on top of all the other violations of international law which Israel is responsible for.” He continued by ripping Israel for not bowing to the wishes of outsiders, saying, “It’s very, very clear to me though, that Israel is not listening to any country in the world, I don’t even think they’re listening to the Americans anymore. They have become blinded by rage.”

In May 2024, only days after Harris declared, “I abhor the actions of the Netanyahu government regarding what is happening in the Middle East,” Ireland officially recognized a “Palestinian state.” Harris stated, “The government recognizes Palestine as a sovereign and independent state and agreed to establish full diplomatic relations between Dublin and Ramallah. We had wanted to recognize Palestine at the end of a peace process. However, we have made this move alongside Spain and Norway to keep the miracle of peace alive.”

On November 7, the Irish parliament passed a non-binding motion attacking Israel, stating, “genocide is being perpetrated before our eyes by Israel in Gaza.”

Last week, Ireland joined South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Looking into the past, in 1996, Ireland finally permitted an Israeli embassy in its country; it was the last country in the European Union to open an Israeli embassy in its own country.

As far back as 1945, within days of Adolf Hitler’s suicide on April 30, 1945, Ireland’s Taoiseach Éamon de Valera called on Eduard Hempel, the Nazi minister to Ireland, to express his condolences.” He said, “I certainly was not going to add to his [Hempel’s] humiliation in the hour of defeat.”

This is some of the most embarrassing and repulsive problems with Ireland for decades already. Making matters worse is how the Irish government allows Islamofascists to effectively destroy the country and its safety, and any citizens who supposedly oppose the Religion of Peace's destruction of the island yet consider hostility to Israel acceptable aren't helping matters. Closing the embassy there can save a lot of valuable money, which the relations with Moldova will hopefully be worth investing in.
