DAVID FRIEDMAN IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR US AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL

I wanted to comment on this, but haven't had time till now. Donald Trump's choice for USA ambassador to Israel is lawyer David Friedman, a strong supporter of Israel:

President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday he will nominate bankruptcy lawyer David Friedman as US ambassador to Israel — and pledged that the diplomat would work in the “eternal capital” of Jerusalem instead of Tel Aviv.

The president elects praised Friedman and said the lawyer would help the two countries cooperate on military and intelligence issues.

“As the United States’ Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman will maintain the special relationship between our two countries,” Trump said in a statement.

“His strong relationships in Israel will form the foundation of his diplomatic mission and be a tremendous asset to our country as we strengthen the ties with our allies and strive for peace in the Middle East.”

I fully agree on this. The plan to move the embassy to Jerusalem is another plus, if implemented, and if Friedman does his best to ensure it'll be done, he'll be a real hero.

Fireworks Blast Rips Through Market Outside Mexico City (VIDEO)

A spectacular explosion with horrific results.

Cross-posted from American Power, "At Least 32 Dead in Mexico Fireworks Market Explosion (VIDEO)."

At CNN, "Mexico explosion: 32 dead at fireworks market as search teams comb rubble."

That's a spectacular explosion, almost like a military bombing zone. Man.

A HUGE MENORAH DISPLAY AT THE ISRAEL MUSEUM

Israel National News has a list of pictures from the Israel Museum of very old menorahs on special display for Hanuka.

9 PEOPLE MURDERED IN TRUCK ATTACK AT CHRISTMAS MARKET IN BERLIN

Another terrorist attack similar to the one last summer in Nice, France, has taken place this time in Germany:

At least nine people were killed and up to 50 injured when a truck ploughed into a crowd at a Christmas market in Berlin on Monday evening.

German police have arrested a suspect near the scene of the incident and are investigating whether he was the driver, German police said on Twitter.

A German police spokesman said the co-driver of the truck died in the incident.

[...] Television pictures from Berlin showed a large Scania truck standing amid debris near small wooden stalls that make up the “Christkindlmarkt”, of which there are several in Berlin at this time of year.

Once again, Angela Merkel's dhimmitude has wound up costing a terrible price that's only going to make the public in Germany very angry for all the damage and desecration her stingy politics have brought upon the country.

ARABIC NEIGHBORHOODS IN JUDEA/SAMARA BECOMING GHOST TOWNS

At a time when Amona is facing a terrible situation of eviction, it's interesting to note that there's a different scene taking place in Arabic villages around the same area:

Media reports about the Arab struggle to retrieve the lands of Amona has been presented by politicians and the media as part of an Arab tradition of loyalty to their land.

Indeed, one of the Arab claimants against the Amona community has been quoted as saying, "If your child dies, you can make another one in his place, but land that you sold cannot be replaced."

And yet, a report in Friday's Makor Rishon suggests reality on the ground in Judea and Samaria reflects a somewhat different set of values. Local Arabs may not be willing to sell their land, but many of them don't live on said land either, preferring instead to emigrate to the US.

According to reporter Assaf Gibor, Route 60, which runs from Afula, on Israel's side of the "green line" through Jenin, near Shechem, through Ofra and outside Ramallah to Jerusalem and then through Gush Etzion, past Hebron all the way to Be'er Sheva, features ghost villages on either side of the highway. The Jewish settlers of Ofra and Amona have been wondering what has happened to neighboring Arab villages such as Silwad, three miles from the main road and about 8 miles north-east of Ramallah. A visitor happening inside the village can see numerous, luxurious villas, that are deserted.

Gibor, who describes those empty homes as "white elephants," met in Silwad a man in his 79s named Salah, who sat with him over a cup of coffee and revealed that he's been living in Puerto Rico for 52 years. Having left in 1964, before the Israeli liberation of 1967, Salah got his BA in Puerto Rico and MA in Tennessee, and now he is retired and living off his rental property on the island. His children were born in the US, one is a lawyer, the other a pharmacist, both Harvard graduates. Sadly, they've only visited the old country once – but both speak Arabic.

Hamza Awada, 21, who lives with his parents in Arizona, met Gibor in Dir Dibwan, not far from Silwad. He is visiting to conclude a two-year wife search. It's an arranged marriage, and after the wedding the happy couple will move to America. Hamza has lived in New York City and in Arizona, as well as in Jordan. "Life here in the village is quaint, but it's not for me."

Wow. Even some very fancy houses are left behind as many Arabs/Muslims clearly don't find life there appealing. And if that be the case, what's the point of trying to "help" them reconquer Jewish land when they don't even care about it?

MUSLIM FAKES "HATE CRIME" TO ATTACK TRUMP SUPPORTERS

And when it turned out this was all a hoax, the MSM abandoned it. From what the report now tells, it suggests she just made up the story to escape the wrath of a possessive Muslim father, and:

...Kids say the darndest things to escape the wrath of a strict Muslim parent—especially when their clandestine date with a Christian runs past curfew.

True. That can happen. And any Muslim parent who does that kind of abominable behavior should be condemned to the fullest as well.

UN AMBASSADORS' DELEGATION VISITS WESTERN WALL AND MA'ALEH ADUMIM

In a positive example set by some delegates at the UN (and those are surely rare today), they joined Danny Danon on a visit to two important places:

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon welcomed a delegation of fourteen ambassadors to the UN to Israel for a tour of the country organized by AJC Project Interchange.

On Thursday the delegation visited the Yesha city of Ma'aleh Adumim, east of Jerusalem, and toured the Western Wall Tunnels in Jerusalem's Old City.

The delegation also met with Ma’aleh Adumim Mayor Benny Kashriel who briefed the ambassadors on the history of the city.

[...] Danon also addressed resolutions adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) denying the Jewish people’s historical ties to the city of Jerusalem.

"We showed the ambassadors the historical and religious connections between the Jewish people and our historic capital of Jerusalem. This is our answer to those who try to deny reality and rewrite history," Danon said, adding that he hopes that the visit to Israel will provide the ambassadors with the chance to gain a comprehensive view of Israel’s challenges in a volatile region, as well as the Jewish state’s accomplishments.

Will this change the main UN council's position? Unfortunately, I'm not sure that'll happen, even if the particular delegates who did visit are willing to be positive here.

A NEW EDITION OF MONOPOLY DEDICATED TO JERUSALEM

The famous board game by Charles Darrow is now getting an Israelized edition set in Jerusalem:

Jerusalem has been fought over for millennia, and continues to be to this day. The struggles have often turned violent, as the city has been battled over by many civilizations, including the Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Ottomans. Through it all, the Jewish people have never forgotten their connection to Jerusalem.

Now families can play for control of the holy city from the comfort of their living rooms.

Kodkod, which produces Monopoly games in Israel, has announced that it is creating a special Jerusalem-based version of the popular board game. Instead of vying for the deeds to Park Place or Boardwalk, players will vie for the deeds to the Western Wall, the City of David, the Mahane Yehuda Market, and even the Knesset.

Eli Dagani, the CEO of Kodkod, said: "This is the first time there's going to be a Monopoly game dedicated entirely to one city in Israel, and we want it to reflect the spirit of Jerusalem."

Well this is a great idea, and just what history buffs need as much as board game devotees. I'd certainly like to have a copy of this at home.

BRAD MELTZER STANDS AGAINST DONALD TRUMP

The writer of Identity Crisis, along with an awfully crude story in the Buffy comics, gave some strong hints whom he voted for in this election, if he even voted at all, in a Hollywood Reporter article where he demanded the president-elect stand against "hate" that he's not particularly clear about:

What can we do? Be better than what angers you.

We could also be better than to write rancid fanfics about supervillains in costumes who anally rape women out of nowhere, without a shred of evidence from past stories of the Silver/Bronze Age to justify the vision taken. If he won't admit he did something that terrible, he's even less honest than Bill Willingham, who at least admitted he took part in an editorially mandated crossover (Batman's War Games) where Spoiler/Stephanie Brown was intended to be killed.

For a week, many of us have been texting and emailing articles to our fellow Democrats and fellow Republicans, all of us on both sides discussing just how exactly the other side is wrong. It’s a good thing to share our anger and pain with each other — it’s cathartic and lets off steam — but since we usually send these things to friends who are like-minded, it also tends to dig us deeper into our own worldviews. So this isn’t a post about who won, or who needs to “deal with it,” or even who is president. That argument and all of the protests that go along with it are part of the healing process (and if you think that’s not true, you’re ignoring history — to see the protests after Obama got elected, look at Facebook groups like “Obama is NOT my President”).

Umm, what about obscuring more-than-meets-the-eye matters, like why anybody might protest Obama. For example, his quasi-socialist policies, including the whole healthcare debacle, to say nothing of his failure to acknowledge Islamic jihad as a serious issue, or even to give purple hearts to the victims of Nidal Hasan after he'd gone on a rampage at Fort Hood 8 years ago. How comes those issues don't matter?

I gotta wonder: if John McCain had been elected, rather than Obama, would Meltzer be complaining about any Facebook groups that turned up declaring McCain's not their president (and Sarah Palin's not their veep), no matter what validity their own positions had? Probably not. So what's the point of his quixotic grieving now?

No. When I look for why I’m feeling so sick at this moment, it’s about the acts of hatred and violence that have surfaced after the election: A friend who told me her niece was yelled at on the street and threatened because she’s black. A Republican friend who said her relative was threatened because she’s Muslim. A Democrat friend who told me of the swastika that was painted in their school bathroom. Or the N-word that was painted on someone’s car windshield. In the past week, these threats are showing up beyond the norm.

Wow, isn't that cunning how he tries to make it sound like he knows "real" Republicans. But this man is so slickly dishonest and evasive, I'd advise not to take anything he says at face value. After all, if the Republican he speaks of voted for Trump, then surely Meltzer, first and foremost, would be asking why she voted for somebody who's called for better controls on immigration from Islamic regimes, even as he'd simultaneously be shunning the exact reasons why: because many of the Islamic interlopers have proven potentially dangerous. One of the sources he cites as "proof" for his accusations happens to be the SPLC, the same organization that attacked Pamela Geller while avoiding the harder issues.

Meltzer goes on the mention a children's book he's writing about Mahatma Ghandi, and says:

...Usually, I never discuss a book until the work is done, but for months now, I’ve been lost in Gandhi’s teachings, trying to channel him. I’ve never needed him more.

No kidding. The same Ghandi who sold out to Islamofascism, lectured Jews with revolting beliefs that they should allow themselves to be slaughtered during WW2, molested his niece, and whose grandson resorted to anti-semitic smear tactics? Hmm, what indeed is so valuable about an article written by somebody apparently oblivious to the true image of a man who sold his soul to evil?

And, for anyone familiar with his notorious 2004 miniseries from DC, this'll come as a real head-shaker:

Make no mistake, we are in a modern civil war. It’s been brewing for years. I’ve said it before: It used to be, even in comic books, the good guys fought the bad guys. Today, Superman fights Batman; Captain America fights Iron Man. We are a country at odds with itself, each side convinced we’re right. But again, I choose to look to history. These days, as we look back at the real Civil War, both sides — Republicans and Democrats — always point to the same moment as the true turning point: That moment at Gettysburg when Abraham Lincoln gave a speech that lasted two minutes and used only 271 words. The most important five words in that speech? “All men are created equal.”

Umm, what about women? Aren't they equal members of society too? I'm not sure why we have to buy into the grievances of somebody who penned something so vile involving an anal rape that was bizarrely ignored soon after, and made light of a serious issue as a result. It also used to be that in superhero comics, you could distinguish who the goodies and baddies were. But in Identity Crisis (which a writer for Bleeding Cool was right to remind us of in his post about Meltzer's two-facedness), the heroes were made out to look bad, and the story was sympathetic to the villains. Indeed, the miniseries was like an early precursor in its own way to what we're seeing now. Either way, how hypocritical of a man with such a disgusting tale in his portfolio to ostensibly complain about heroes clashing with each other while showing no remorse over his own reprehensible writing. You could even wonder if he's hinting he thinks of the superheroes as though they were real people, when they're not. Besides, didn't his vile screed also serve as a catalyst for at least a few more stories from DC where the heroes did indeed end up clashing with each other? A year after Identity Crisis was published, Geoff Johns wrote a story in JLA where this happened.

And if he's really so concerned about hatemongering, then why doesn't he complain about any of the hateful acts committed by leftists against Trump supporters? In fact, why doesn't he condemn any leftists who made false accusations against Trumpers? And why don't the Hollywood Reporter's own editors research the slimiest ideas he ever thought up as a writer and ask him if he has any comment to make on those? A pure charlatan, ditto the press sources who're letting him off the hook.

Over these past few months with Gandhi, I’ve realized I don’t just write about heroes. I write about values — values that have been sorely missing — for years — from the dialogue of our country. And the core of my own values is this: When you see someone being treated unfairly, you must speak up. We all know this. This is not a Republican or Democrat issue. This is common decency. And over the past month, Gandhi made it plainly clear: You must fight against the unfair treatment of all people. You must protest in a nonviolent and peaceful way. And you must use love.

Today, for that reason, I have to speak up. If someone is threatening you because of the color of your skin, I stand with you. If someone is screaming at you because of your race, religion, gender or sexual orientation, I stand with you. And if you do not speak out against these horrible acts, I stand against you. I’m tired of “us” and “them.” I want to get back to “we.” There’s only one way there. Today, all Democrats, all Republicans, all Americans — and yes, this means Donald Trump, too — we must, together, climb to higher ground and speak out against these hateful acts against women, against minorities, against Muslims, against those with darker skin color, against anyone who is considered “different.”

Yup, the same man who turned out some repellent tales where women were belittled wants us to believe he actually cares about the fairer sex. He also wants us to believe Islam respects ladies too, when a closer look would show that's not the case. And anybody who takes a closer look at some of the writings Meltzer did in novels and comics - especially in that grimy little miniseries - will notice that he's a pretty self-serving, dishonest man who demonstrated how fiction can serve as quite the place for hatemongers to express themselves in the most awful of ways possible, even politically, thanks in part to the corporate owners who allow it.

Also, don't hate crimes committed against those with lighter skin color also matter? Not to mention hateful acts committed by Islamofascists against women, against blacks, and also against homosexuals? Methinks Meltzer is doing little more than parroting what other leftards want to believe.

Again, think of Gettysburg. This is Donald Trump’s moment. Like my friend Simon Sinek taught me about George Washington: “Leadership isn’t about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge.” Some will argue that Trump stirred this all up; others that the venom has been here all along. However we got here, people are at each other’s throats. The KKK is planning a victory parade. People across the country are being attacked. Children are being threatened. Donald Trump may be our president-elect, but if he wants to be our leader, he must denounce this violence; he must speak up for those being treated unfairly. He must tell America that we are all created equal. He deserves a chance to say and prove that. If he does, I will stand with him against the hate; if he doesn’t, I will stand against him.

And the same should hold true for any of us — if we don’t speak out, we are normalizing this behavior. I will never do that. I’m done texting and sending articles to friends.[...]

So long as he doesn't admit the way he scripted Identity Crisis normalized revolting acts, and doesn't apologize to the ladies for it, his leftist blabber is a complete waste of time. And sure, I'll bet he's willing to "stand" with Trump...for about 10 seconds, then he'll go back to looking for some other excuse to bash Trump, like if he tries to make improvements to healthcare or defend the US against would-be immigrants with criminal behavior on the mind.

Some of the commentors saw through his hypocrisy, and one said:

Brad, I think if you're protesting the violence you need to talk to the Obama and Clinton camps. The rioting, fire-setting and assaulting Trump voters are all perpetrated by the left. I haven't seen anything about Trump voters attacking the left. One Muslim woman claimed that two white men jumped from a car, tore off her hijab and beat her with a metal object. She then said she lied about the entire thing. I would bet that many of the anecdotal incidents you cite are also staged. As a TEA party member, I remember that we were accused of many violent acts, even spitting on Nancy Pelosi and fellow Democrat Congressmen walking through the TEA party crowd. None were true. I think your admonition to Mr Trump to denounce the violence is directed to the wrong person/people.

Yet it's far from shocking a writer as dishonest as Meltzer would do this. Another commenter said:

What's this spiritual guru wannabe talking about? People like this putz have disparaged US citizens for decades. We're morons, we're dolts, we're cattle, while he rakes in the cash and we feed him, provide him energy, and take out his trash. Trump is our rage personified. The time to "get together" was when Obama insulted our allies, our police, and sent our taxed wages to a country that hates Western Civilization.

Exactly. Men like Meltzer practically exploited the comics he scripted as vehicles for all the sick propaganda he's espousing now. Another reader at the site said:

This guy is an idiot. No one cares anymore if they are called racist by bigoted leftist anymore. It is 2016 Free thought, free speech, and Nationalism (love of country) are the future. I am free... you can call me any name you want. I am a white male and I am done caring about what you think. I will not give you that power in my life. I am a Great person. I know it, and I do not need your, or any leftist, to validate the worth of my life, my thought, my political views. President Trump doesn't need to "Denounce the Hate" because that was a leftist lie promoted by the media. No hate on Trumps side. I love President Trump! By the way, I also help my Wife with her 501c3 that helps mostly Black women pull out of poverty! What the heck have you done besides virtue signaling, waging your tongue, writing words to set yourself up as some kind of moral standard barer. No thanks! Thanks to all the leftist wankers who have criticized hard working conservative white Christian males for so long I for one am beyond caring any longer. Oh and I really don't care if you think this isn't Christian...Not that kind of Doormat believer. If this triggers you then you will have to live with it.

It's good to see there's more people who're getting to know a moonbat propagandist personified. This reminds me, has Meltzer ever done what Frank Cho did, contributing money to a women's shelter? Can't say I've ever heard about Meltzer doing the same, and if he hasn't, then there's one more reason why his drivel doesn't hold up.

If anything, his liberal lethargy does provide a fascinating look at just what kind of a disgrace he really is. He certainly does try to be a cunning propagandist, but all that collapses under a microscope. The best way to let him know what we think of moonbats like him is to avoid his books and other products at all costs. Nothing he's written is worth the paper it's printed on.

A PLOT TO SPRING A TERRORIST FROM PRISON HAS BEEN THWARTED

The authorities have arrested more members of a Hamas cell that wanted to free a jihadist now serving a life sentence:

A Hamas terror cell plotting shooting and abduction attacks was uncovered this week in a joint ISA, IDF and Border Police operation, Israel’s Government Press Office reported Thursday. During the operation, the Internal Security Agency (ISA) uncovered “considerable war materiel” and also found that the Hamas members were plotting attacks by scoping out IDF forces around the Palestinian village of Tzurif.

The cell’s ultimate goal was the release of security prisoner Ibrahim Abdallah Ghneimat. Ghneimat, 58, is currently serving out a life sentence for involvement in terror attacks carried out in the 1990s, including the murder and abduction of Sharon Edri, an IDF soldier.

Ghneimat’s sons, Fadi Ibrahim Ghneimat, Muhammed Ghneimat, and Shadi Ibrahim Ghneimat, were all arrested as participants in the plot.

He certainly raised his sons quite repellently, as they've just proven. Well if they really love their father so much, they can share a cell with him for the rest of their own undeserved lives too.

ONTARIO INTRODUCES ANTI-BDS LEGISLATION

The Canadian province has become the first to oppose BDS:

Ontario has become the first Canadian province to introduce legislation rejecting the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel. Motion 36 rejects "the differential treatment of Israel, including the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement," the Canadian Jews News reported Saturday.

The legislation passed with a vote of 49 in favor and five against, with almost half of the 107 members of the Provincial Parliament absent, including Premier Kathleen Wynne, who is currently on an official visit to Asia.

According to the report, the motion, introduced by Ontario Provincial Parliament member Gila Martow, who represents the Progressive Conservative Party, came six months after the Ontario legislature voted against a bill seeking to bar the Ontario government and official province institutions from doing business with companies that endorse BDS activities. The bill, which defined the BDS movement as "one of the main vehicles for spreading anti-Semitism and the delegitimization of Israel globally," was defeated by a vote of 39 to 18, and criticized for being "too ambitious and vulnerable to court challenges," the report said.

Well I'm glad the legislation for Israel's benefit has succeeded now. It looks like there is hope for the better in Canada.

A FAWNING INTERVIEW WITH G. WILLOW WILSON IN COMICS BULLETIN

Comics Bulletin ran a sugar-drenched interview with G. Willow Wilson by a fellow Islamist, which pushes the narrative that Islamists in the USA are scared after the election of Donald Trump. It begins with the following:

I conducted this interview a few weeks before the US elections took place. As a black Canadian Muslim woman, I’m fearful for the marginalized groups in America right now and what this means for the world. Many of my friends are scared, sad, angry, distressed and some are even hopeless. [...]

How classic, making it sound like everybody is nothing more than a nervous wreck. Anybody who makes such a fuss over politics so badly does nothing to improve anything. The Muslim Ms. Marvel book - which is far from popular if it sells so much lower than 40,000 copies at store level only - will probably wind up doing attacks on Trump so long as it's still around, much like it did with Bernie Sanders.

After debuting with a roar in 2014, Ms. Marvel cultivated a fanbase before a single issue came out, and now the collections are fixtures in book stores. I wanted to talk about Islam because as a Muslim reader, I wanted to get to the heart of one Marvel’s biggest superheroes; a teenage Pakistani-American Muslim girl from Jersey City.

She's only made this whole piece quite a giggler. The only people who make such a big deal out of it are leftists who want to promote dishonesty, and it makes no difference to them how low it actually sells, even in book stores. The interview continues with her denial that this was ever intended as propaganda:

I think there was sort of two camps in terms of expectations of what the series would be. One camp was like, “Oh, it’s gonna be token diversity. It’s just going to be a model minority book. People are going to forget about it after five issues.” So there was kind of that and then on the other side there was, “Oh, it’s going to be Islamic propaganda. It’s going to promote sharia law in the USA. It’s part of like the global conspiracy of Islamic jihad” or whatever. So you know there were those two extremes and what we wanted to do was something completely different. Something that felt very authentic and I think we would not have been able to get there if there were not two Muslim women involved. I think it could not have happened in the way it happened without Sana.

I guess it's not election propaganda either, huh? Taqqiya (deception) and denial that disapproval in Islam that a woman go without a headscarf is just the propaganda they deny they set out to do. Any book where the lead has a bad religion ascribed to her background doesn't qualify as "model" either, though there is quite a bit about the development that reeks of tokenism. She continues her taqqiya with the following:

I thought from the beginning that she should not wear the hijab. I mean she wears it in the mosque obviously and at certain cultural functions but I did not want to make her like a hijabi in her day-to-day life simply because the majority of teenage Pakistani-American girls do not wear a hijab. So even though I wear a hijab – I’ve worn the hijab for most of my adult life – I thought, “You know what? Let’s make this representative. Let’s not, again, do some sort of model minority book or make her sort of this perfect caricature of what we think a Muslim girl looks like.

And stuff about her family. We didn’t want to shy away from conflict but at the same time we wanted to show love and affection. Just the basic day-to-day family scenes that we don’t see a lot of in depictions of American Muslim families. Where it’s not always politically charged stuff. There’s a diversity of thought and opinion. That not everybody in the same family believes or acts in the same way and that was very important. That was at the heart of shaping her civilian identity.

Uh, is she sure of that? Maybe more to the point, is she claiming Muslim men from any background don't exist in any number who dictate what a woman may or may not wear, or that there aren't Muslim women who're either scared, or indoctrinated enough and lack self-esteem? And even if they don't wear a hijab, that doesn't mean they still don't adhere to any other awful beliefs. Next thing you know, she'll be saying the majority of Satmar women don't wear wigs and even cut away their hair just because the degrading leadership dictates it.

She also fails to acknowledge that we don't always see what can happen in a Muslim family where the father - and mother - can be abusive, and commit honor murders. Indeed, if she's claiming the vast majority of Muslim family portraits in showbiz is literally bad, that's naive and dishonest too. The interviewer then goes on to note:

Fun fact: That first issue of Ms. Marvel… I read it and it didn’t sit well with me specifically because Kamala makes a joke about bacon. That “Mmm… infidel meat” moment and immediately in my head, I’m like, “A Muslim wouldn’t say that. That makes no sense. Why would we ever say, ‘oooh, pork smells amazing or bacon does.” It wasn’t until I read issue two and let some time pass that I realized what I wanted out of Kamala was an ideal. I wanted her to be the perfect Muslim so that… less for me because I myself am not the perfect Muslim. I don’t wear the hijab and I personally struggle with that in terms of what that means to me. So I’m definitely not the perfect muslim and it was weird to expect that from Kamala. Then I realized it [the ideal] wasn’t really for Kamala or even for myself but mostly for other people because Kamala was supposed to tell other people, “Look, this is what a muslim is. We’re not terrible.”

GWW: We’re not supposed to be flawed.

AO: Yeah.

Are they saying they're supposed to be saints? Well it sure comes close to that. She goes further with her ignorance in the following:

GWW: There’s so much scrutiny on the community that it’s like you can’t put a foot wrong. You have to be the perfect American. The perfect Muslim. Never question anything. Do the right thing always and I see people breaking under that pressure because it’s not fair. Especially younger kids who’ve grown up in the post-9/11 world. It’s like they’re carrying the honour of the whole community on their shoulders. They always have to be upright and be the perfect Muslim. It’s something to me… we had to push against it somehow. We have to make it okay to be flawed. You shouldn’t have to be a perfect Muslim or a perfect American to feel safe. You should be allowed to be flawed. An important part of creating Kamala was to say… She’s not flawed in the sense of being morally flawed but flawed in terms of having things that you do well and having things that you do not so well. It’s a big issue and there is that burden of representation where you’re sort of… there’s this pressure to lose particularity of experience to get to some sort of universality that doesn’t actually exist.

Unfortunately, she fails to acknowledge that many Muslims do believe you have to be perfect in every way. It can be like that in ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities too; they expect you to follow the customs they dictate perfectly, even though it's idiotic to think one can follow everything on the dot to perfection. Interestingly, the interviewer also notes:

With Ms. Marvel as a superhero and a Muslim, I wonder if you find yourself negotiating with religion like with particular story elements. Do you go, “Man if I write about this magical mischievous Loki… well, should I?” Because some people could be like, “Ugh, magic”. Magic has this place in Islam… it’s kind of frowned upon. As a Muslim woman who is also a writer, I’ve wondered about that.

GWW: It’s an interesting balancing act and sometimes I’ll get these snarky questions on Twitter like, “How could you be a Muslim writer and write about… in the marvel universe, there are gods…” and I’m like… number one, even within the Marvel universe, the Asgardians don’t consider themselves as actual gods. That’s one. Number two, in Islam, anything with a body that can be killed is by definition not god. I feel like comics are, in many ways, in the vein a lot of classical Islamic fantasies like the Alif Laila [aka The Arabian Nights or One Thousand and One Nights], The Conference of the Birds and a lot of that older stuff where there is sorcery in the world and genies and communing with the unseen. It’s frowned upon but it’s there and it’s also part of something larger.

No matter how much they themselves may deny it, there are Muslims out there who not only abhor magic (and by extension, Tales of the Arabian Nights because of its own magical stories), they even conducted witch hunts. Though theoretically, belief in magic does exist in various Muslim countries, a lot of clerics condemn it, and/or view the concept of magic negatively. So there may be another reason why some Muslim may not even read a book set in a world involving magic and sci-fi.

There was one commentor on the interview who said:

Disappointing that she did a storyline in Pakistan and didn't address the persecution of religious minorities but I guess that would clash with the softball narrative she's pushing.

Yup, there's people out there who aren't fooled one bit. In fact, was this interview even aimed at a wide, diverse audience? I get the weird feeling it wasn't, and ultimately, it's just a lot of boring hot air, that doesn't get anywhere.

JIHAD BY ARSON RAVAGES SEVERAL AREAS IN ISRAEL

A huge fire broke out around Haifa and several other areas around Israel this week. It turns out jihadism was the cause:

Another fire broke out today (Saturday) in Daliyat al-Karmel while firefighters are still battling the flames in other parts of the country. In addition, the American supertanker was used for the first time today in Israel but has only carried out one mission so far. According to the latest reports, 28,000 dunams (approximately 6,918 acres) have gone up in flames since the wave of fires and arson attacks.

So far, 23 suspects have been arrested by the Israel Police and Israeli security forces. Some were arrested on suspicion of inciting to arson attacks. The Israel Police announced in a statement that more than 30 suspects have been questioned in the past five days.

Some of the suspects were arrested when they were apparently on their way to start fires. One suspect was even arrested just as he was starting a fire.

A number of houses were completely destroyed by the arson as yet another form of jihadism causes serious damage. Minister Gilad Erdan's called for the homes of the arsonists to be destroyed, and they definitely should be.

A TERRORIST CELL IN FRANCE WAS GOING TO ATTACK CHAMPS-ELYSEES AND LOCAL DISNEYLAND

Latest reports from France tell of a jihad assault plotted against 2 locations that was fortunately thwarted (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):

A jihadist terror ring was planning to attack Paris on December 1 and had researched sites including a Christmas market and Disneyland outside the capital as potential targets, a police source said Thursday.

Seven suspects were arrested in police raids last weekend in the eastern city of Strasbourg and Marseille in the south following an eight-month investigation by security services, although two were later released.

The source said investigators found the suspects had made internet searches on sites including the Christmas market on the prestigious Champs-Elysees avenue, the Disneyland Paris theme park, cafe terraces in the northeast of the capital, the Paris criminal police headquarters and a metro station.

Five of the suspects have had their custody extended under legislation covering investigations into an imminent terror attack.

One of the men is said to have told investigators that attacks were planned and named the police headquarters in central Paris and the DGSI domestic security department in the northwest of the city as targets.

Some members of the group are thought to have taken orders from a Syria-based jihadist.

Two handguns, an automatic pistol, a submachine gun and jihadist propaganda were all found during the raids in which they were arrested [...]

It's lucky this attack was stopped before it could be carried out. But there's still many more lurking around who need to be stopped and have their residential permits permanently revoked, and be put in prison.

TURKEY'S WILLING TO PARDON AND AWARD CHILD RAPISTS

Recep Erdogan continues to erode morale in Turkey on his way to solidifying his dictator's status (Hat tip: Breitbart):

Turkey’s governing party has sparked an outcry after putting forward a bill that would pardon up to 3,000 child rapists if the perpetrator married his victim.

Critics have warned that such a law would encourage sexual abuse, while the government has defended the bill as an attempt to deal with legal complications arising from child marriage.

The controversial proposal would apply to statutory rape cases without use of “force, threat, or any other restriction on consent” involving girls aged 15 or younger.

Men convicted in such cases between 2005, when a similar law was abolished, and Nov 16 this year would be eligible to have their sentences “deferred” if they married their victims.

But that's practically what they'd enjoy doing. Because no doubt, Erdogan's gang is open to approving polygamy to boot, providing the filthy scum the chance to force more underaged victims into sex slavery. This is all just another example of Turkey's collapsing status, as Erdogan and his minions continue to enforce sharia upon the country.

NOBODY SHOULD CONTINUE TO SUPPORT STING AFTER WHAT HE SANG AT BATACLAN

The singer Sting gave a performance at the reopened Bataclan in Paris, and desecrated the memory of the many victims of the jihad butchers who attacked the center over a year ago:

In what The Rebel Media's Victor Laszlo perfectly labeled "a stunning display of sanctimony and insensitivity," pop superstar Sting opened last weekend's gig at the Bataclan club in Paris with a song called "Inshallah."

The Bataclan, you will remember, was the site of a ghastly Islamic terror attack in which jihadists tortured and slaughtered 90 trapped concertgoers. Sting's performance actually took place on the anniversary of that massacre, making his choice of "Inshallah," Arabic for "if God wills it," even more repulsive and inappropriate.

What he did was throughly insensitive to the memories of the victims, and truly sick. I don't own any of his music albums, thank goodness, and everybody else should now boycott all his work to show we don't approve of his capitulation. Don't get stung by Sting.

STEVE BANNON IS BEING FALSELY ACCUSED

Donald Trump's choice for a chief of staff has been falsely accused by the left of various charges, including anti-semitism. Fortunately, veterans like Alan Dershowitz have defended him, and even an Israeli representative in Samaria's come to his defense.

The left's totally gone out of their minds over Trump's democratic election to POTUS. They'd do well to refrain from politics altogether, because politics truly don't help anybody.

THE SO-CALLED ORTHODOX JUDAISTS WHO TOOK CLINTON'S SIDE

Before the presidential election took place this year, there was some pretty eyebrow-raising news about what Orthodox Jewish communities Hillary Clinton could definitely rely upon, and it's ultra-Orthodox clans like the Skver, and Satmar:

Back in 2000, when she was running to represent New York in the Senate, Hillary Clinton benefited from the almost unanimous vote of one small Jewish hassidic village in Rockland County called New Square.

This week, running for president, Clinton is once again expected to be the favorite of New Square – a town comprised mostly of Skver Hassidim – whose loyalty runs counter to the prevailing trend of the American Jewish community. While overall support among American Jews traditionally leans Democratic in presidential elections, polls have shown that when it comes to Orthodox voters, the tendency is reversed.

According to the famous 2013 Pew Research Center study on American Jewry, 57% of Orthodox Jewish voters are Republican or lean Republican, and only 36% are Democrats or lean Democratic.

More recently, an American Jewish Committee survey published in September showed 50% of Orthodox respondents prefer Donald Trump, and only 21% side with Clinton.

CEO of the public affairs consulting firm The Friedlander Group, Ezra Friedlander, an Orthodox Jew himself who has accompanied many presidential candidates in visits to the community this year, is familiar with the community in New Square.

A day before the election, Friedlander told The Jerusalem Post that he believes the local Skver hassidic community, like the Satmar Hassidim who have already endorsed her, will cast its vote for Clinton because of their long-time ties.

“The hassidic community has a relationship with Hillary Clinton,” he said.

Indeed they do. And it's because she saw to it they'd get all the socialist welfare support they wanted, rather than work for self-support. Something which The Forward had more about:

[...] In recent days, leaders of the Satmar Hasidim in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the Skver Hasidim in Rockland County, New York, have endorsed Clinton.

The Satmar and the Skver are among the most socially conservative and religiously observant Jewish groups in the United States. So why are they backing Hillary Clinton?

“It’s relationships,” said David Pollock, associate executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, and perhaps the Jewish establishment’s leading expert on the byzantine politics of New York City’s ultra-Orthodox communities.

Those relationships run deep. The Satmar community in Williamsburg has been exceptionally successful over decades building ties to elected officials at all levels of government.

Their top criteria for which candidate to back? “They’re going to vote for the winner,” Pollock said.

Except that, as seen this past week, they didn't. But, here's the answer why they'd support Clinton coming up:

That’s because the Williamsburg Jewish community, in particular, needs friends in government. The neighborhood is poor, and relies on government programs for housing and healthcare. So they tend to back Democrats, both because Democrats usually win in New York, and because Democrats support the social programs that they need. Since Jewish institutions play an outsized role in the lives of Hasidic Jews, endorsements from communal leaders carry an unusual amount of weight. For politicians, these bloc votes are attractive. “Williamsburg is one of the few places in American where politicians can attract votes wholesale, not retail,” Pollock said.

Sometimes these relationships are nakedly transactional. The Skver, for example, voted almost unanimously for Hillary Clinton during first race for Senate in New York in 2000. Weeks later, Bill Clinton shortened the sentences four Skver men convicted of defrauding the federal government. A federal investigation of the Skver commutations ended without any charges filed in 2002.

See that? To date, they've relied 99 percent upon the Democrats for welfare-type programs to subsist upon, and wouldn't get jobs that could help them pay their bills by themselves. I hope Trump doesn't cozy up to these phonies and their MO. The Satmar and Skver's socialist lifestyle has only made things worse for several areas where they live, since the tax dollars of the neighborhoods they're living around have only ended up going to waste. There's no need to win favor from the two clans, because their whole structure runs counter to what the USA was built upon.

And there you have examples of the "Orthodox" sects Democrats like the Clintons could rely upon, till now.

THE PLO'S UN ENVOY MAKES THREATS AGAINST USA FOR WANTING TO MOVE THE EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM

The PLO's true feelings towards America are coming out at the UN as they seethe over Trump's possible move of the US embassy to Jerusalem:

The Palestinian ambassador to the UN on Friday warned President-elect Donald Trump that if he dares to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, the Palestinians would “make life miserable” for the United States at the United Nations.

“If people attack us by moving the embassy to Jerusalem, which is a violation of Security Council resolutions, it is a violation of Resolution 181 of the UN general assembly that was drafted by the U.S. … it means they are showing belligerency towards us. … If they do that nobody should blame us for unleashing all of the weapons that we have in the UN to defend ourselves and we have a lot of weapons in the UN,” Riyad Mansour said.

It sounds more like he's hinting that they have a lot of firearms, bombs and blades in their armory, which indeed, they do. This is only another reason why the US should withdraw funding from the UN, who don't need the office building they have in NYC. If Trump moves the embassy to Jerusalem, that will be a very positive step, recognizing Israel's validity and its historic sovereignty over Jerusalem. But so far, there's no way to tell if they'll do it, though I realize these things can take time.

HABIMA STANDS UP TO LEFTISTS AND PERFORMS A PLAY IN KIRYAT ARBA

The leading theater business in Israel has run a play for the first time in Kiryat Arba near Hebron, wisely defying leftarded opponents:

The Habima National Theater group performed the play "A Simple Story" at the cultural center in Kiryat Arba Thursday evening. Culture Minister Miri Regev and MK Yehuda Glick (Likud) were among those in the audience.

This is the first time that Habima has performed in Kiryat Arba. The announcement of the performance led to fierce criticism of the theater group by leftists and calls for the actors to boycott the performance.

Odeliah Friedman, the executive director of Habima, responded to the criticism by saying, "It is not the role of the National Theater to condemn or engage in boycotts against any sector of the population. The purpose of the National Theater is to provide quality culture for all citizens of Israel, and just as it has done so in the past, so too will it do so in the future."

MK Glick came to the performance accompanied by a guest, Muhamed Jaber, an Arab resident of Hevron. Jaber was once a member of the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad, but now he is a peace activist who opposes violence.

"Our job in the future will be to extend Israeli sovereignty over all of Judea and Samaria," Glick said. "It will require us - Jews and Arabs - to learn to live together. It will mean a two-sided struggle-fighting an uncompromising battle against violent extremist factors while (at the same time) striving to live together and strengthen the moderate elements."

I'm proud of the theater network for standing up to phony peace activists who only want to deny legitimacy to Judea/Samaria/Gaza's connection with Israel and the Jews, and deny them the right to enjoy entertainment where they live. Theater is a very good form of art, better in some ways than movies, and Habima's setting a good example by standing up to the dhimmified leftists who probably don't even go to see their shows.

A MUSEUM FOR DEVIL WORSHIP

The PLO's opened a museum dedicated to Yasir Arafat, one of the worst jihadists to lead their movement, in Ramallah. And it's predictably filled with anti-Israeli propaganda too:

“Museum Honors Arafat But Avoids Conclusions,” was the headline on the print version of a New York Times dispatch from Ramallah about a $7 million new museum devoted to the life of PLO chairman Yasser Arafat. Alas, the same cannot be said of the Times article itself, which is full of conclusions, many of them wrong.

The article reports:

He died, according to the exhibit, after Israel apparently managed to poison him — this “based on evidence from laboratories and other medical reports as well as official statements by Israeli officials,” the text reads, though Israel denied involvement.

How this totally unsubstantiated and false accusation constitutes “avoiding conclusions” is left unexplained by the New York Times. Maybe some editor there also found the headline contradicted by the story, because the online version of the headline was eventually revised to the more accurate: “Museum Explores Arafat’s Legacy but Leaves Unanswered Questions.”

It still doesn't excuse their routinely reprehensible approach. It's just like them to peddle that nasty falsehood while publishing an accepting view of a museum devoted to pushing an anti-Israeli, anti-semitic agenda, along with a monster who certainly did have blood on his hands, and not just from Jewish victims.

DONALD TRUMP BECOMES 45TH US PRESIDENT

It looks like a lot of hard work by Republicans and friends has paid off, and now, Donald Trump's been elected as America's next president.

This is hopefully good news for Israel too, and a rebuke to the Obama administration's terrible policies that even gave Iran funding/resources it doesn't deserve.

We'll see how things go from here. For now, it's good that Hillary Clinton didn't make it, and now we have a new president who's better in some ways than his predecessors.

FLORIDA JEWS AT MIKE PENCE RALLY SAY HE'S FAR BETTER ON ISRAEL THAN CLINTON

Mike Pence attended a last minute rally in Florida, where local Jewish residents were impressed:

PANAMA CITY, Florida — During the first of four announced campaign stops throughout America on Sunday, Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence spoke to a crowd of Floridians, which included several Orthodox Jews who expressed fear over a potential Clinton presidency as it relates to Israel.

“Mike Pence is behind the United States. Israel is in his heart,” Andy Bales, a leader in Panama City’s Jewish community, told Breitbart News. “Many times, he’s called Israel his eternal ally. Donald Trump has said the same thing.”

Bales noted his belief that “Trump will support Israel on a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much higher level in regards to the policies that will be right for Israel, not policies that are right for the political climate.”

With that, he referred to Clinton as a “political operative” and criticized her for flip-flopping. “One day she could be for [Israel] if it’s politically advantageous for her. One day she would be against them if it’s politically-advantageous for her.”

Given that Clinton's supported the PLO and even the Iran deal, that's exactly why she'll be bad for Israel by sharp contrast.

RNC CHAIRMAN SAYS FBI INVESTIGATION OF CLINTON IS STILL ONGOING, DESPITE PRIOR NEWS

Reince Priebus, the RNC's chairman, has stepped in and provided some clarification indicating that despite what was initially told the other day, the FBI is still on the Clinton case:

RNC chairman Reince Priebus is making it known that the FBI’s public corruption investigation of the Clinton Foundation is ongoing.

“The FBI’s findings from its criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton’s secret email server were a damning and unprecedented indictment of her judgment. The FBI found evidence Clinton broke the law, that she placed highly classified national security information at risk and repeatedly lied to the American people about her reckless conduct,” Priebus said in a statement provided to Breitbart News.

“None of this changes the fact that the FBI continues to investigate the Clinton Foundation for corruption involving her tenure as secretary of state. Hillary Clinton should never be president,” Priebus stated.

I'm glad that he's told this, because even if she is elected, which will be sad, her past offenses cannot be allowed to go unchallenged by the law. It's good that critics of James Comey aren't letting this be forgotten.

FBI DIRECTOR ONCE AGAIN PROVES WEAK, AND WON'T CHARGE HILLARY FOR HER CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

The FBI's director, James Comey, once again caved to political correctness and let Hillary Clinton off. Again, this is an utter disgrace and travesty of justice. Even a former employee of Obama's views this gravely:

On Breitbart News Saturday, before FBI director James Comey again rushed to clear Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton before the election, retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn detailed how she broke the law with her illicit, home-brew email server.

“It was a violation of the law. It’s not just violation of State Department guidelines,” Flynn told SiriusXM host Matthew Boyle. “Let’s forget about the pedophilia, let’s forget about the Clinton Foundation for a second and let’s focus on Hillary Clinton’s grave risk that she’s placed our country at by using a private server to do business at the most sensitive levels of our government.”

“That’s beyond [just against] State Department policy. That’s a criminal act,” he added. “I have been part of investigations where people have spied on our country or done espionage been used to extort information for purposes of damaging our country. That’s what Hillary Clinton has done. This is beyond violating State Department policy. If that’s all it was, I wouldn’t be sitting here today. This is an unbelievable active criminal behavior.”

I fully agree. And Comey's refusal to prosecute only makes the situation worse, enforcing the perception he does the bidding of the Democrat elitists.

THE MUSLIM MS. MARVEL TITLE BECOMES AN ELECTION PROPAGANDA TOOL

Just in time for the November elections, wouldn't you know it, the Muslim Ms. Marvel series has now become an election propaganda vehicle:

IN the meantime, Ms. Marvel suggests you vote. She doesn’t say which way to vote, but probably she’d support the candidate that doesn’t want to ban Muslims from entering the country. Maybe. A guess.

More specifically, the writer probably would, because ideology matters far more than safety for the country's public. When a series like this becomes so obviously political, ditto the site promoting it, then it becomes clearer than ever that entertainment value isn't what the publishers value, just rancid ideology, and that's why these books aren't worth wasting money on.

November 12 update: and now, here's some more news confirming just how ludicrous this story is:

In the election edition comic book, Ms. Marvel and a friend go from door to door in her hometown in New Jersey trying to get out the vote. One person slams the door in their face; another says his boss won’t let him and he has to work on Election Day; and an old man with glasses and a scarf, looking a bit like Senator Bernie Sanders, says he is protesting and has not voted since 1972 and tells her he does not intend on voting because “the candidates are all terrible.”

“By not voting, you’re not sending a message – you’re just lumping yourself in with the millions of people who didn’t vote because they don’t know how or don’t care,” she answers the man.

At one point Ms. Marvel collapses because even her superpowers are unable to help her explain time after time the importance of the elections and voting to her neighbors, who don’t know who to vote for, the rules about voting and even whether they are registered to vote.

It sounds more like the story's making everybody in the neighborhood out to look pea-brained and poorly educated. Including leftists like Sanders. Yep, that sure is some way to appeal to the masses.

The comics do not reveal who Ms. Marvel is voting for this week, but it is easy to guess she will not be voting for Donald Trump. [...]

Or, more precisely, the writers/artists/editors didn't. At this point, you could very well say they contributed to the downfall of the Democrats' campaign, by putting forth a direction that only alienated voters even more.

HILLARY CLINTON VISITED ISLAND OWNED BY CONVICTED PEDOPHILE 6 TIMES

According to the following info on Truth Revolt, Hillary Clinton paid at least 6 visits to the property of Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted pedophile:

According to former Navy SEAL Erik Prince, Hillary Clinton visited “Orgy Island,” a private retreat owned by Clinton pal and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, at least six times.

It has been well documented that her husband Bill Clinton visited the island more than a dozen times and flew there on Epstein’s private sex plane dubbed the “Lolita Express.” The federal watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit last year against the Obama administration to release the costs to taxpayers who paid for four Secret Service agents to guard the former president on those trips.

Read the whole post. This only further erodes the notion that Hillary is somebody who cares about kids. What the news tells is that the Clintons are one disturbingly cold pair.

CLINTON HURT RAPE VICTIM VERY BADLY

Kathy Shelton, the woman whose rapist was defended by Hillary Clinton, who even made false claims against the victim, gave an interview to Breitbart where she says she's been stung badly by what she found out:

NEW YORK – In an emotional Breitbart News exclusive video interview, Kathy Shelton, who was raped by a 41-year-old drifter when she was only 12 years old, said that in the course of defending her rapist as a lawyer, Hillary Clinton “hurt a child inside too very bad.”

“And she says she’s for children and women? If she was for children she could have never went there with me as a 12-year-old girl,” added Shelton.

Read the whole thing, and watch the video too. What Clinton did and is still doing is unspeakably sick, and tragically, she still shows no shame or remorse for her degrading MO.

FBI SAYS AN INDICTMENT AGAINST CLINTON IS "VERY LIKELY"

The Hill says the FBI may be recommending an indictment against Hillary Clinton in the email scandal, which would be a very good idea:

Two sources with intimate knowledge of the FBI's investigations told Fox News Wednesday that a probe of the Clinton Foundation is likely to lead to an indictment.

Fox News's Bret Baier said Wednesday that the FBI probe into a possible pay-to-play scheme between Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation has been going on for over a year.

Sources told the news network that the investigation, which is conducted by the White Collar Crime division of the FBI, is a "very high priority."

One source further stated that the bureau collected "a lot of" evidence, adding that "there is an avalanche of new information coming every day."

Baier also said that the Clinton Foundation probe is more expansive than previously thought, and that many individuals have been interviewed several times throughout the course of the investigation.

I certainly hope all concerned at the FBI will do their best to ensure an indictment is filed against Clinton for the dangerous and careless way she conducted business. A former federal prosecutor said the only thing lacking in the case of the Clinton Foundation investigation, also a shady bunch, is the political will to indict. Even if Clinton is elected, these cases cannot be allowed to just be dropped. They have to continue being investigated and everything must be done to ensure that the Clintons can't get away with their irresponsible behavior just because of their political positions. Thank goodness there's folks at the FBI who're concerned.

BECAUSE HOLLANDE WOULDN'T EXPEL THE MIGRANTS, NOW THEY'VE TURNED PARIS STREETS INTO A WARZONE

The French government may have cleared the Calais "jungle" camp of Muslim migrants. But now a lot of them have gone to Paris as part of a "redistribution" plan, and now, they've turned the Stalingrad neighborhood into a hellhole:

Only days after police cracked down on migrant slums on the streets of Paris, gangs of migrants armed with clubs fought each other in the Stalingrad district of the French capital.

The brawl was caught on camera and shows dramatic scenes of mass violence between rival migrant factions, the Daily Mail reports.

After the French government cleared the Calais Jungle, many migrants have travelled to Paris and have been sleeping rough in the district’s migrant camp. The cause of the brawl is currently unknown, though it has been speculated that raids by police in Paris stoked already-existing tensions between migrants of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

The ‘transit’ camp, which lies just outside the Stalingrad metro station in Paris, has previously been the scene of mass migrant violence. In April of this year, a riot was caught on film showing the entire camp, which is estimated to number in the thousands, explode into a state of violence.

All Hollande and company did was move the crisis from one area to another, and show why they're going down in history as some of the most reprehensible people around.

HILLARY CLINTON'S TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT OF EMAILS PUT AMERICANS AT RISK

Former Michigan congressman John Hoekstra told Breitbart radio that Clinton's mishandling of emails has endangered Americans:

Former Michigan Congressman and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Pete Hoekstra told Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Thursday, regarding Hillary Clinton’s private server arrangement, “When the server first became public, I said these things have been hacked by foreign governments.”

Regarding the latest revelations on the Huma Abedin-Anthony Weiner angle, Hoekstra said, “All of these things put Americans at risk.” As the FBI comes across classified information on its computer, “they’re going to give that information immediately to the intelligence community so [they] can determine what damage that particular leak may have done.”

He said that people would be immediately pulled out of the field if anything was leaked that might put intelligence assets in danger.

“Foreign governments attack our network each and every day, as well as other hackers,” he continued. “And sometimes they come in with success. If you come into a server and try to penetrate a server in your basement, guess what: they are going to go in.” He pointed to the recent revelation that the government has determined with ninety-nine percent certainty that five different foreign governments hacked Clinton’s private server.

“You not only have the investigation of Mrs. Clinton” into her current email scandal. “You also have the questions of integrity of the top of the Department of Justice.”

What Clinton did is one of the worst misuses of technology and political positions in history.

FBI WILL REOPEN CLINTON EMAIL CASE

It looks like the controversy surrounding the FBI director's refusal to recommend an indictment for Hillary Clinton in the email scandal has led to a reopening of the investigation:

The Federal Bureau of Investigations will reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server exclusively during her time as Secretary of State.

In a letter to Congress, FBI director James B. Comey revealed that the bureau had learned of more emails connected to the investigation.

“I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed by on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation,” Comey wrote.

I have no doubt there's a lot more than meets the eye to this case, and it's good they're resuming the investigation. Hillary was clearly a truly awful and irresponsible politician.

IRAN'S TOP KORAN RECITER IS ALSO THEIR TOP CHILD RAPIST

One of Iran's prominent Muslim clerics has been accused of raping numerous children:

A prominent Quran reciter in Shiite Iran, who has been affiliated with the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has been accused of raping multiple children, according to some news outlets.

It remains unclear how many victims in total have accused 46-year-old Saeed Toosi, also spelled Said Tossi, of rape.

Toosi has been identified in some news articles as Ayatollah Khamenei’s “favorite Quran reciter.”

This is really no shock, and just proves what a double-standard Islamofascists have on homosexuality. Such intercourse between adults is seemingly forbidden, yet violating children with same-sex assaults is apparently allowed. It wouldn't be shocking if the Iranian courts have every intention of letting the animal off the hook either, proving where they really stand.

NEW ALTALENA MEMORIAL

A new memorial to the Altalena ship has been built in Tel Aviv:

A new memorial monument for the victims of the 1948 Altalena cargo ship incident was set to be unveiled at the Nahalat Yitzhak cemetery in Tel Aviv Thursday.

Sixteen members of the Irgun were killed in the Altalena Affair, in which the paramilitary group clashed with the newly created Israel Defense Forces.

[...] The new monument will include a metal-plated cement model of the Altalena ship, in which part of it appears to be sinking into the water. On the side of the boat appears a quote from then-Irgun leader Menachem Begin, who was aboard the ship at the time: "We can never have a civil war."

It's about time this was thought of. The Altalena has some history that needs to be known.

Here's an extra article about it.

THE DISRUPTION PLAN HILLARY CLINTON APPROVED HERSELF

According to a new video by James O'Keefe, Hillary Clinton approved a plan by activist Robert Creamer to disrupt Trump rallies:

James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has released video evidence that left-wing organizer and high-level Democratic Party operative Robert Creamer is, in fact, linked directly to Hillary Clinton, who personally approved at least one of his disruptive tactics.

Last week, O’Keefe produced video showing Creamer, the co-founder of the Democracy Partners consulting group, and his colleague, Scott Foval, discussing their past and present efforts to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies and other events.

Read and view the rest. This is truly disgusting and explains perfectly what's gone wrong with politics today.

CLINTON VICTIM URGES OTHERS TO GO PUBLIC

Breitbart filmed another interview with Leslie Milwee where she urges any other victims of Bill Clinton's sex abuse to step forward and speak out. When asked if she's afraid now that she spoke out, she replied:

“I’m afraid because I know the moral compass and the lack of integrity that I feel the Clintons have. I think there’s been no accountability by the media for many of the illegal things that they have done. No one seems to hold them accountable for their behavior. And am I afraid they will try to do something to me? Of course I am. But I’m also willing at this point. This needs to be said…

“And Hillary is just as culpable as he is in the fact that she helped him cover this up for all those years and harass the women that were raped victims and victims of sexual harassment. So, am I afraid? A little bit. But I am more afraid not to tell the truth and not to bring this to light.”

She did the right thing to step forward and speak out, and should be congratulated for it. It's high time this news was discussed.

HILLARY CLINTON TOOK MILLIONS FROM SAUDIS AND QATAR

As the following news informs, Hillary and Bill's foundation took tons from Islamic countries that routinely desecrate human rights:

In her response to the Islamic terror attack in Orlando, Hillary Clinton called on the governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait to stop allowing their citizens to fund terrorists and to “stop supporting radical schools and mosques.” However, she failed to mention that the Clinton Foundation has spent years accepting millions in donations from countries that throw homosexuals in prison, fine them, sentence them to hard labor, and even execute them for the “crime” of being gay.

For years, Hillary Clinton’s own global foundation welcomed big-dollar donations from countries with some of the worst LGBT-rights records in the world. And it’s worth noting that the Clintons have routinely failed to disclose all the information concerning donations to their foundation.

Read the rest, and see also Sean Hannity's list (via Truthfeed). Donald Trump's said that Hillary should give the money back, but what chance of that is there? Probably very little.

This proves that Hillary's almost as much a taqqiya specialist as some Islamofascists themselves.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF BILL CLINTON STEPS FORWARD

Leslie Milwee, a former TV reporter in Arkansas, has gone public to tell how she too was a victim of disgraceful former POTUS Bill Clinton. Here's an excerpt of her description of the first time he assaulted her:

“…he followed me into an editing room. The first time I remember. That it was very small. There was a chair. I was sitting in a chair. He came up behind me and started rubbing my shoulders and running his hands down toward my breasts. And I was just stunned. I froze. I asked him to stop. He laughed.

“That happened on three occasions. And each time it escalated where the aggressive nature of his touch and what he was doing behind me escalated.”

Read and watch it all. Clinton's a prime example of a politician who thought being that high up meant never having to say he's sorry, and sadly, he still thinks that way today, judging by his failure to publicly apologize to his other victims.

THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN'S TIES WITH GEORGE SOROS

Wikileaks provided more information about the Clinton campaign's connections with far-left billionaire Soros:

Hours before Hillary Clinton dined with George Soros, members of Clinton’s inner circle debated how to handle an anticipated request from the notorious billionaire. Longtime Hillary handler Huma Abedin forwarded an invitation for Hillary to attend a December 2014 fundraiser in Soros’ New York home for the Soros-backed group America Votes to Robby Mook and John Podesta.

The email exchange from October 2014 is included in the Wikileaks release (Podesta Email 15201) and shows the campaign preparing for the dinner between Hillary and Soros. The thread highlights the lengths the campaign was willing to go “to make Soros happy.”

And the way they'd make him happy is by destroying all that's great about this world, including Israel. Soros is like the Henry Ford of modern times, and a disgrace. That he's bankrolling the Clinton campaign is telling.

SWEDEN LEGALIZES TERRORIST FLAGS

The latest repellent insanity from Scandanavia includes validation of jihad symbols:

Swedish prosecutors have effectively legalised the display and use of the Islamic State (ISIS) battle flag by refusing to prosecute a Muslim male who used an image of it as his Facebook profile.

An unidentified 23-year-old was the subject of a complaint to police after he set an image of the ISIS flag as his profile picture. Swedish police passed the case onto the prosecutor who after deliberation decided to not pursue it.

Whether the Islamic State flag is a symbol of hatred akin to the German National Socialist Swastika has never been tried in court — and may now never be after the decision by prosecutor Gisela Sjövall.

Who announced the following stupefier:

“You could say that merely waving a flag of IS in the current situation can not be considered hate speech. It is not an expression of disrespect towards any [particular] ethnic group."

Stunningly ignorant indeed. The flag symbolizes hostility towards anybody considered an infidel in Islamic terms.

A MARVEL STORY ABOUT SYRIAN WAR COULD BE JUST AS DISHONEST ABOUT ISLAMOFASCISM AS THE REST OF THEIR OUTPUT

Inverse reports that Marvel and ABC, both owned by Disney today, are collaborating on a book about the Syrian war:

Marvel and ABC have teamed up to bring the story of one Syrian woman’s struggles to life.

Madaya Mom is a visual comic based on a series of text messages between ABC News and an unnamed Syrian woman earlier this year. The woman lives in Madaya, a town that is trapped between government forces, rebels and ISIL. The Syrian government has systematically starved residents to try and get them to surrender their land. There’s no food, no electricity and, for many residents (including Madaya Mom), waning hope.

And probably no honesty about what drives any of the jihadism in Syria either. Sure, the "government" of Syria is a very evil lot, but so too are ISIL, who employ a lot of the same torture tactics as the government itself. Doesn't the Islamic State's own evil matter? The horrors they've committed have taken the lives of thousands, yet from the info Marvel and ABC have given, it sounds awfully like they're only interested in one of the sides, not both. Don't be surprised if this turns out to be as dishonest and badly informed as the other products they're putting out now that whitewash serious subjects.

WIKILEAKS RELEASES MORE OF CLINTON'S EYE-OPENING EMAILS

Wikileaks has released more of the Clinton emails, showing what she thinks of conservatives, attacking them as "un-american". Yet she probably doesn't think any of her past conduct could be construed as such.

Here's another report on Fox about the latest trove.

Update: and while we're on the subject, Fox also says there's FBI agents who're angry at the senior leaders for letting Clinton off the hook for her terrible conduct (Hat tip: Breitbart):

The decision to let Hillary Clinton off the hook for mishandling classified information has roiled the FBI and Department of Justice, with one person closely involved in the year-long probe telling FoxNews.com that career agents and attorneys on the case unanimously believed the Democratic presidential nominee should have been charged.

The source, who spoke to FoxNews.com on the condition of anonymity, said FBI Director James Comey’s dramatic July 5 announcement that he would not recommend to the Attorney General’s office that the former secretary of state be charged left members of the investigative team dismayed and disgusted. More than 100 FBI agents and analysts worked around the clock with six attorneys from the DOJ’s National Security Division, Counter Espionage Section, to investigate the case.

“No trial level attorney agreed, no agent working the case agreed, with the decision not to prosecute — it was a top-down decision,” said the source, whose identity and role in the case has been verified by FoxNews.com.

A high-ranking FBI official told Fox News that while it might not have been a unanimous decision, “It was unanimous that we all wanted her [Clinton’s] security clearance yanked.”

“It is safe to say the vast majority felt she should be prosecuted,” the senior FBI official told Fox News. “We were floored while listening to the FBI briefing because Comey laid it all out, and then said ‘but we are doing nothing,’ which made no sense to us.”

The New York Post says there's officials who're "ready to revolt" because of the cowardly approach taken to the issue, and Congress is wondering if Comey mislead them. Indeed, the way the top brass acted is a major embarrassment and proves they're in serious need of repairs.

FORMER NBC REPORTER CALLS ON NETWORK TO RELEASE EARLIER INTERVIEW WITH JUANITA BROADDRICK

A former employee of NBC says they should air a taping of an older interview they filmed with one of Bill Clinton's victims:

A former NBC News journalist is calling on the network to release raw footage of a 1999 interview with Bill Clinton’s rape accuser, Juanita Broaddrick.

In a chat on the website Sidewire on Thursday, Yahoo! News reporter Michael Isikoff said that the NBC footage of Broaddrick’s “Dateline” interview would show that she told interviewer Lisa Myers that Hillary Clinton attempted to intimidate her weeks after the alleged rape, which Broaddrick says occurred at a Little Rock hotel in 1978.

“Broaddrick told her story to NBC and the WashPost in 99. Both organizations closely vetted her story and chose to run it,” wrote Isikoff.

“Also, NBC has the full tape of the original Lisa Meyers [sic] interview,” he added.

Isikoff is the reporter who is credited with landing the scoop that Bill Clinton was having an affair with Monica Lewinsky. The story was spiked at the last minute by his editors at Newsweek.

When Broaddrick resurfaced in January after years of silence, she claimed that Hillary Clinton tried to “silence” her in a brief encounter weeks after the alleged rape. The former nursing home executive said that she was at a political function when Hillary Clinton showed up, approached Broaddrick and shook her hand while thanking her for “everything you do for Bill.”

Broaddrick said that when she tried to pull away, Clinton grasped her hand and repeated the line. Broaddrick interpreted it as a veiled threat.

Isikoff, who worked at NBC from 2010 to 2014, noted that Broaddrick’s critics have questioned the claim that the former first lady issued the threat because Broaddrick did not mention it in the “Dateline” interview.

“Folks have made much of the fact that her claim about the conversation she had with Hillary wasn’t in the interview that run. Broaddrick said it got cut out; Lisa Myers has since agreed Broaddrick said this then — and NBC chose to cut it out,” wrote Isikoff.

I see. So even that early, they chose to cover for Hillary. The full recording most definitely should be released, but they probably won't ever fulfill the request.

Update: while we're on the subject, here's a Fox interview with Kathy Shelton, the woman who was raped in Arkansas by 2 men when she was 12 years old, and Clinton defended her attackers in court without a care how evil they were:

After watching this, I'm even more horrified than ever that Clinton would do such a terrible disfavor to a girl who'd been through such a horrific experience.

BILL CLINTON HAD A CHILD OUT OF WEDLOCK

Alex Jones's Info Wars has an article about Danney Lee Williams, an African-American who says he's a biological son of Bill Clinton:

My name is Danney Lee Williams. I have many compelling reasons to believe that I am the biological son of former President William Jefferson Clinton — also known as Bill Clinton.

I am simply seeking the truth, and thus I am respectfully requesting that former President Clinton supply a court verified sample of his DNA to be compared with mine to determine paternity.

Before passing judgment, I ask the citizens and media of this great nation to honestly review the evidence and my reasoning. I also would like to shed light on how the widely reported DNA test in 1999 – which allegedly disproves that he and I are not father and son — was in fact fundamentally flawed in how it was executed and reported thereafter.

In 1999, various news organizations including the Washington Post and Time reported that I was not Bill Clinton’s son based on a widely reported DNA test that was based on the DNA report included in independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s impeachment report and a DNA sample that was taken from me. This is false. In fact, the test proved to be inconclusive because the Starr report did not contain the necessary data to reach such a conclusion.

The Starr report only included the results of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that the FBI used to determine whether Clinton’s DNA matched Ms. Lewinsky’s dress. In fact this is not enough data to determine if Bill Clinton is my father or not. FBI lab’s test refraction fragmented length polymorphism (RFLP) would also be required to make this determination. The PCR test alone would not be enough to legally prove or disprove paternity.

The truth is that in 1985, during the time I was conceived, my mother was a single parent raising two boys on her own. She would sometimes sell herself to men to make ends meet for her family. During this dark period in her life, Governor Clinton was the only Caucasian man she was having sexual relations with at the time I was conceived. In 1997, my mother passed a lie detector test conducted by investigative reporters to corroborate her claimed that Bill Clinton was her only white suitor at the time she conceived her bi-racial son.

I have seen also the physical resemblance between myself and President Clinton — the facial features, nose, chin line — that strongly suggest a biological connection, which has been pointed out by thousands of people across the nation.

For 30 years, my mother has stood firm on the claim that Bill Clinton is my father, and never once has she recanted her story… nor has my Aunt Lucille, who bared witness to my mother’s account.

Read it all. So Bill may have another child, and this is certainly testimony to his infidelity that Hillary apparently saw nothing wrong with.

While we're on the subject, here's another Breitbart video interview with Juanita Broaddrick, who was violated by Bill in 1978. It's one thing if he committed adultery, but committing rape is crossing a red line, and he didn't deserve to be president for that. Let's hope the Trump campaign can show that the Clintons are the ones who're really creeps here.

THE TERRORIST AT AMMUNITION HILL WAS LET GO BY A BAD JUDGE

It turns out that the jihadist who attacked and murdered 2 people near Ammunition Hill received leniency from a judge who was a bad lot, and is now facing criticism:

As Yom Kippur approaches, Jews around the world are atoning for their sins, but MK Yehudah Glick (Likud) announced on Monday that there was one person he would not forgive: Judge Hagit Mak-Kalmanovith, who postponed the prison sentence of the terrorist who ended up killing two Israelis in Jerusalem on Sunday.

On May 30, the terrorist’s attorney reached a plea deal by which he would admit to assaulting a police officer and receive a reduced sentence of four months.

The lawyer asked that the sentence be postponed until October, and Mak-Kalmanovith agreed. On Sunday, having not yet begun his sentence, the terrorist went on a shooting spree.

“You listened to the pleading of the terrorist, who was arrested many times for violence.

You were cruel to the merciful and had mercy on the cruel,” Glick wrote about Mak-Kalmanovith.

“As a result of your postponing the terrorist’s sentence for four months, he murdered two innocent Jews yesterday and wounded many others,” Glick went on.

“On the eve of Yom Kippur, before your Lord, will you be able to say your hands are clean?” The terrorist’s name is still being withheld under a gag order.

Glick encountered Mak-Kalmanovith in court on October 22, 2014, when he was the leading activist for Jewish prayer rights on the Temple Mount. He wrote in his Facebook post that the judge did not believe him when he said he felt his life was being threatened, and that he regularly faced violence from Arabs on the Temple Mount.

“You preferred the terrorists over me and decided to ban me from the Temple Mount, because you said that I was dangerous. You accepted the twisted and false claim.... You preferred to believe the violent people, the terrorists, the villains and the liars. I felt that you were assassinating me,” he wrote.

A week later, Muataz Hijazi of east Jerusalem shot Glick several times, critically wounding him.

This judge is clearly one who is not fit for her job, doesn't deserve it, and owes many an apology for her surely predetermined positions. In a way, this is similar to how the case of the ISIS terrorist in France who murdered a Catholic priest was handled. Obviously, cowardly law officials who're soft on violent criminals while hard on innocents must face some kind of disciplinary action and impeachment, because that's exactly what's enabling violent offenders to run around loose.
