‘Palestinian’ state, to break out of an ‘open air prison’ in Gaza or any of the lies the media has systemically deluged us with.<br /><br />They did it to capture Jerusalem.<br /><br />That’s why Hamas named the operation ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ after the victory mosque formerly planted by Muslim invaders on the site of the Jewish Temple. That’s why Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh began his Oct 7 invasion speech with complaints about Jewish presence prayers at the Temple site near the Al-Aqsa mosque. That’s why the Hamas emblem features the Al-Aqsa mosque between two crossed swords. Israeli soldiers who served in Gaza reported seeing those same images in homes around Gaza after the Islamic Jihadist group had spent a generation riling up the Muslim population to launch a holy war to conquer Jerusalem.<br /><br />And it’s not just Hamas.<br /><br />Arafat had constantly proclaimed <a href="https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/death-symbol-yasser-arafat-leaves-behind-complicated-legacy-nationalism-and">his vision of</a> “millions of martyrs marching to Jerusalem.” That line is still broadcast by Palestinian Authority media <a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/fatah-secretary-jerusalem-adnan-ghaith-arafats-slogan-millions-martyrs-are-marching">which declares</a> it to be their great mission.<br /><br />Muslims in Gaza are not dying to create a state that polls show most of them don’t believe will ever exist. They’re killing and dying in a religious Jihad to take over Jerusalem.<br /><br />Every effort to create a ‘Palestinian’ state failed because a state was never the real goal, but a means to the real end, the capture of Jerusalem and its holy sites. The idea that the panoply of fake nationalism, flags, ministries, and an anthem, are just a false front for a religious crusade may be incomprehensible to secularized western nations, but Islam is religious, not nationalistic.<br /><br />There is no ‘Palestinian’ cause, only a Jihadist cause that hides behind it, the way that it hides behind so many other facades, civil rights, social justice, political change, that are just masks.<br /><br />Why do the Jihadist groups want Jerusalem so badly? For the same reason Islam wanted Constantinople, captured Athens and turned the Parthenon into a mosque and then wrecked it during the Great Turkish War, and why ISIS has repeatedly threatened <a href="https://www.memri.org/jttm/new-message-following-being-declared-caliph-islamic-state-leader-abu-bakr-al-baghdadi-promises">to conquer Rome</a>.<br /><br />Muslims have Mecca. Why do they need Jerusalem, Athens and Rome?<br /><br />Islam is a great thousand year darkness obsessed with eliminating all light. Its followers are convinced that if they eliminate every religion and culture, seize its important sites or, like the WTC on 9/11 or the Buddhas in Afghanistan, destroy them, there will be no alternative to Islam.<br /><br />Unable to win a religious debate, Islam always turns to religious war as if murder were faith.<br /><br />The real story of Oct 7 is not the one you have heard about in the media. It’s a spiritual war by an enemy determined to drown out the light of Jerusalem, the light of hope and faith, in murder, hate and moral inversion that transforms victims into perpetrators and terrorists into innocents, that inverts everything, replaces truth with lies, and convinces the world to worship evil.<br /><br />The Jews have long been the canaries in the coal mines of civilization. Here is how that spiritual war between good and evil played out amidst the soldiers, civilians and hostages in Israel.<br /><br />Keith Siegel, an American from North Carolina who had been kidnapped from his home along with his wife, spent 484 days as a hostage, and described turning to G-d. He didn’t know many prayers, but he began to say what he remembered including the words of ‘Shema Yisrael.’ “Hear O Israel, the Lord is Our God, the Lord is One” which had been recited by martyrs about to die for their faith.<br /><br />“There was a moment when I told myself, ‘I’m not going to pray to Allah,'” his wife Aviva recalled. “Even though I was forced to, they would pray in front of us, and it wasn’t clear who they were praying to. I moved my lips, but I wasn’t truly praying. They were so cruel to us, and I couldn’t understand it. How can you pray and be so evil? I just don’t get it.”<br /><br />Agam Berger, another hostage, had her faith restored when she dreamed of a prayer book, a siddur, and then one came her way. “How do you explain that? That’s not chance. That’s faith,” her mother said.<br /><br />The media and the woke left and woke right have launched an unprecedented propaganda machine to make Israel seem monstrous and its war senseless. And in the face of that, Israelis have turned to G-d, convinced that there is meaning and purpose even in the face of that evil.<br /><br />“G-d, I speak to you now,” the father of Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld, said at his funeral. “People who know me know my doubts, they know my fights. When you have grandparents who went into gas chambers and parents who had great sores and pains after the Second World War. We lost six million people. It is hard to sit down and say, ‘Yes, there is a G-d and I believe and I’m convinced.’ But I’m standing here at the moment where I have to make a decision, and my decision is: G-d, you’re above us, it all has a purpose, a much bigger purpose than we know about.”<br /><br />“Like in the Book of Esther, where invisible threads are woven by a Master’s hand into a redemptive story – so too we have seen small parts come together into a great picture of miraculous victory: the beepers, the radios, Nasrallah, Assad’s collapse, Trump, Iran. A new biblical chapter is being written in our days. You will never be able to read it, my son, but you will surely be one of its heroes,” Rabbi Tamir Granot <a href="https://mizrachi.org/hamizrachi/your-fight-was-not-in-vain-my-son-a-letter-to-my-son-amitay-zl/">wrote to his fallen son</a> Amitay: a platoon leader.<br /><br />Last summer, Rabbi Granot <a href="https://www.jns.org/israeli-rabbi-marries-off-fallen-sons-ex-fiancee/">officiated at the</a> wedding of his son’s fiance who had been introduced to her new husband by the mother of another fallen soldier. It’s not natural, he admitted, “but then ours is a people whose path often travels the supernatural. And when you take that into account, then, yeah, it’s pretty natural for us.”<br /><br />The war as seen from Israel is very different from the way it is seen in the media and on social media. It’s not the story of endless internet squabbling, but as Rabbi Doron Perez of World Mizrahi, who lost one of his sons and whose other son was wounded on October 7, recently wrote, “a young generation that many had characterized as a self-absorbed TikTok generation emerged as a remarkable generation of self-sacrifice and selfless commitment to our country and cause. A generation no less heroic than the defenders of 1967 and 1973, the founders of the State of Israel, the Maccabees, and perhaps even King David’s army.”<br /><br />In Israel, the story isn’t about world opinion, it’s the story of <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-untold-story-of-israel-after-october-7th/">volunteers cooking meals</a>, soldiers returning to duty, mothers raising children on their own, and people living with the reality that they may have to run to shelter any moment, and yet believing that there is a purpose to all this.<br /><br />They know that they are fighting another battle in an ancient war between good and evil.<br /><br />“We know that the power of life which we so deeply believe in will ultimately triumph over those who celebrate death,” Rabbi Perez <a href="https://mizrachi.org/hamizrachi/in-your-blood-you-shall-live/">said at the</a> funeral of his son Daniel, after being left with nothing to bury other than his bloody shirt. “The blood of our son that we buried, this blood will overpower the spilling of blood. We know with certainty that those who believe we are all created in G-d’s image will defeat those who have lost any semblance of that image.”<br /><br />Those who know history also know that this is not a new war and it has nothing to do with Gaza, the Six Day War in 1967 or even Israel’s successful fight for independence in 1948.<br /><br />During the High Holy Days, among the penitential prayers that are read is a 13th century liturgical poem by an otherwise unknown Jewish man writing about the Islamic occupation.<br /><br />“Those who have made Moloch their king, rule over me,” he bemoans. “Those who serve abominations have befouled my lands.” The prayer goes on to describe how “I have wept and shed tears from the yoke of Ishmael’s children” who “call a prophet a man who never prophesied” while preventing me from “ascending to Jerusalem during festivals”.<br /><br />“How can the enemies of all that is pure reside in Zion,” the prayer asks. “How came they to dwell in my temples and made themselves a dwelling there?” It prays, “remember us and recall us with your salvation from those who worship things that are not you. Hurl them out and swallow them up from your holy dwelling place. And I through your great kindness will at last enter your house.”<br /><br />Hamas ascribed the leading cause of its assault on Oct 7 to Jews entering the former site of the Temple Mount which the Muslim invaders claimed as their own. Countless peoples of all religions visit the Vatican. Bethlehem operates under Muslim rule. And people of all religions visit Hindu and Buddhist holy sites. Non-Jews, including President Trump and the Pope, visit the Western Wall. Why is Islam obsessed with driving people away?<br /><br />“My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” Isaiah 56:7 envisions the day when everyone will pray there. That is a vision that Hamas, the Muslim world and the UN are obsessed with blocking.<br /><br />Why was Hamas, a Muslim Brotherhood terror group, so obsessed with Jews entering the site of the Temple Mount that it launched a catastrophic war that claimed thousands of lives?<br /><br />Under colonial rule, Jews were forbidden to even blow the shofar at the climax of Yom Kippur at the bottom of the Western Wall which had been reduced to a trash heap under Muslim rule.<br /><br />“Eyewitness accounts told of a white-bearded Chassid in a black caftan running for his life, chased by a mob through an alleyway leading to the Western Wall. The pursuers brandished clubs, sabers, and daggers, and howled: ‘Death to the Jewish dogs!’ and ‘Allahu Akhbar!’”<br /><br />67 Jews were killed in these Muslim massacres, not over Gaza, but over Jews praying.<br /><br />This is not just a matter of ancient history. The Biden administration repeatedly <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/biden-admin-demands-jews-stop-praying-at-site-of-temple/">warned </a>Israel not <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/biden-admin-jews-visiting-holy-site-is-unacceptable/">to allow Jews to enter the</a> Temple Mount or to pray there.<br /><br />“Some Jewish groups escorted by Israeli police at the Temple Mount performed religious acts such as prayers,” a more recent State Department report on religious freedom complained, while attacking religious freedom. “In most cases, Israeli police acted to prevent them from praying and removed them, but in other cases, some of which were documented on social media in photos and videos, the police appeared not to notice the acts of prayer.”<br /><br />“Far-right Israeli minister prays at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site,” an outraged CNN headline stormed.<br /><br />What is it that evil and darkness fears the most? Beneath all the lies, it will always show us.<br /><br />Hamas killed over 1,000 people and would have killed millions more to seize Jerusalem and stop prayers to G-d. It took hostages and then tried to pressure them into converting to Islam.<br /><br />This is a spiritual war in which evil uses the tools of moral inversion to make darkness seem like light and turn light into darkness, to make monsters into heroes, to celebrate the worst crimes, and to make the most horrifying atrocities into the moral high ground of mankind. What drives this war? Fear. And what is it that darkness fears above all else? Darkness fears the light.<br /><br />Hitler’s Mufti, one of the allies of the Muslim Brotherhood before it officially spawned Hamas, justified his Jihad against the Jews by claiming that they were plotting the “rebuilding of the Temple that is called Solomon’s Temple.” In one poll, 52% of Muslims claimed that Israel was planning to rebuild the Temple even though the country had no intention of any such thing.<br /><br />“Why Israel is closer than ever to building the Third Temple,” Middle East Eye, a Qatari propaganda site that often promotes Hamas, warned. Last year, an Al Qaeda bulletin also warned that Israel was about to “rebuild the third temple.”<br /><br />In Judaism, the Temple can only be rebuilt by G-d, not by man. If Israel had wanted to build a temple, it had nearly 60 years in which to get it done<br /><br />What do Hamas and its Islamic terrorist allies really fear?<br /><br />Evil fears our bullets less than it fears our faith. It does everything possible to convince us that evil is good and we are evil. Its greatest victory is when we come to believe it. As too many do.<br /><br />But when we reject evil and turn to G-d, it boils with rage and commits atrocities to terrify us. But underneath the crimes and lies, it is possessed by the terror of the day when “the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and they shall come to Zion with song” (Isaiah 51:11) and “So said the Lord: I will return to Zion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth, and the mount of the Lord of Hosts be the holy mountain” (Zechariah 8:3).<br /><br />That is the fear and the hate at the heart of the Islamic Jihad. They don’t kill us, torture us and terrorize us because they believe they’re right, but because they fear they are wrong.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

The PLO’s UN observer bragged that the hijackings had “awakened the media and public opinion much more” than its political propaganda. France paid a $7.5 million ransom and the hijackers were flown out to their destination of choice after Israel released 16 terrorists with blood on their hands.<br /><br />Notes from the Johnson administration had initially expressed its concern “over serious blow(s) to international civil air transport which likely arise if hijacking of El Al aircraft permitted to stand… this incident, if not quickly redressed, might stimulate competitive hijacking attempts.”<br /><br />And indeed it did.<br /><br />The hijacking by a Marxist-Islamist group backed by the USSR and trained by its proxies in Egypt and Syria, spurred a new wave of Cuba hijackings by leftist sympathizers in the U.S, who had been briefly active earlier in the decade but whose attacks had fallen off, by the PFLP, by the North Koreans, the Japanese Red Army, Pakistanis and other members of the Red-Green Alliance. What had been the behavior of the occasional madman became a wave of terrorism.<br /><br />The copycat leftist terrorists include a Black Panther who hijacked a TWA flight out of Oakland after murdering a police lieutenant and was able to live out the rest of his life in Cuba.<br /><br />When PFLP terrorists were arrested, their allies attacked other airplanes, took more hostages and traded them for the hijackers. Governments that had formerly condemned the attacks, negotiated, made deals and paid out millions, freeing and financing the terrorists attacking them.<br /><br />When Israel struck back at the states harboring the hijackers, it was condemned by the UN in resolutions like Resolution 262 while the State Department warned Israel that “we simply cannot have this kind of violence in the Near East.” Not by the terrorists hijacking Americans. By Israel.<br /><br />On September 9, 1970, the PFLP hijacked four planes headed for New York City in the largest airplane hijacking campaign of the time that would prefigure and inspire September 11.<br /><br />Four years later, PLO terror boss Yasser Arafat was invited to address the United Nations.<br /><br />9/11 in turn inspired its own wave of imitators, with the 7/7 attacks in the UK, and other bombings across Europe, but despite fears at the time, major attacks failed to materialize. Why?<br /><br />Large scale plots like 9/11 were difficult, expensive and all too prone to failure. And they offered little reward because the mass murder of 3,000 people did not provide any gains for the terrorists. Al Qaeda temporarily lost its base in Afghanistan (until the recent withdrawal) and the Jihadist movement became fractured into rival factions like ISIS focused on more local terror.<br /><br />Had we responded to 9/11 by allowing Al Qaeda to take over Saudi Arabia, there would have been far more major terror attacks afterward. But instead we pounded the terror group and it picked up little to no sympathy outside the Muslim world. As a strategy, 9/11 had failed.<br /><br />The same cannot be said of Oct 7.<br /><br />“The powerful blow that was delivered to Israel on October 7 has yielded three very important historic achievements. First of all, it brought the Palestinian cause back. Why are all these countries recognizing Palestine now? Had any country dared to recognize the state of Palestine, prior to October 7?” Hamas leader Ghazi Hammad<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/hamas-leader-un-criticism-of-israel-a-benefit-of-oct-7/"> bragged in August</a>.<br /><br />After the latest push to recognize the terrorist state at the UN, Hamad again took credit. ”what is the benefit of October 7th? If you look at the UN General Assembly yesterday… they condemned Israel.”<br /><br />What comes next?<br /><br />Hamad already told us less than a month after the Oct 7 attacks. “The Al-Aqsa flood (the Hamas name for the Oct 7 attacks) is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth because we have the determination, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight,” <a href="https://honestreporting.com/hamas-says-it-wants-oct-7-massacre-again-and-again-why-wont-the-media-believe-them/">he bragged</a>.<br /><br />There is no reason not to believe him. And no reason to think the attacks will be limited to Israel.<br /><br />Once the PFLP’s airline hijackings proved that they were an effective political strategy, they intensified and when the Israelis successfully deterred future hijackings, the Marxist-Muslim terrorists switched to hijacking European planes. And then a whole spectrum of other radical groups around the world adopted the strategy leading to metal detectors, the TSA and 9/11.<br /><br />Will another Oct 7 succeed? Maybe not in Israel, but the same European countries pushing to recognize a ‘Palestinian’ state have their own Muslim ‘no-go zones’ and ‘states within a state’.<br /><br />There are an estimated 40,000, 75% of whom are Muslim terrorists, on the UK’s terror watch list. France’s woefully inadequate watchlist has over 1,000. In Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Muslim gangs, many of them battle tested from Yugoslavia to Syria, <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/muslim-ak-47s-and-bombings-turn-sweden-war-zone-daniel-greenfield/">fight street battles</a> armed with <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/bombs-rockets-and-torture-cells-the-eu-is-an-islamic-narco-state/">Ak-47s and hand grenades</a>. <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/muslim-sets-off-700-explosions-in-the-netherlands-this-year/">700 explosions</a> were set off in the Netherlands so far this year by Muslim gangs. There’s already a war and trained Muslim Jihadis in Europe.<br /><br />What might happen if 1,000 heavily armed Muslim terrorists banded together to strike in London, Paris, Berlin or Brussels?<br /><br />We don’t have to imagine too hard.<br /><br />In 2015, 3 Muslim terrorists entered the Bataclan theater in Paris where over 1,000 people were enjoying a concert. It took the French police over two hours to finally take them down.<br /><br />(Everyone wondering why it took so long for Israel to repel the Oct 7 attacks may want to look at how long it took to wrap up terrorist attacks with hostages during the Pulse massacre in Florida (3 hours), the Moscow theater attack (4 days), the Beslan school siege in Russia (3 days) and consider what our response time would look like in the event of a much bigger terrorist attack.)<br /><br />What would Oct 7 look like in London, Paris or New York City? Worse, much worse.<br /><br />The Hamas, PLO, Islamic Jihad and other terrorists had to break through a border wall and travel a distance to reach even the nearest Israeli city where they were soon repelled. In Europe, not to mention Canada and Australia, they’re already embedded in those cities.<br /><br />The Israeli communities on the Gaza border were soft and liberal, but they still had security coordinators, arms caches and a defense plan. Where would they go to find guns?<br /><br />After July 23, 1968, Muslim terrorists never successfully hijacked another Israeli plane. Instead they hijacked planes from all the countries that had pandered to them. There may never be another successful Oct 7 in Israel, but rewarding Islamic terrorists ensures there will be one.<br /><br />Perhaps in Toronto, in Sydney, in Marseilles or in New York City.<br /><br />Like that long ago airplane hijacking in 1968, Oct 7 was a political victory for Muslim terrorists. That means it’s going to be repeated the way that successful strategies usually are. The bigger the reward, the greater the repetition. Rewarding Oct 7 will globalize the October 7 attacks.<br /><br />After the UN’s recognition of a terrorist state as a reward for Oct 7, the next such attack may not take place on Israel’s borders, but in the streets of Manhattan right by the United Nations.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Or as the judge in the case put it, “the holy Koran.”<br /><br />Who is the Koran holy to? The political and judicial systems of the United Kingdom which have effectively enacted Islamic Sharia blasphemy law by selectively prosecuting those who offend Islam. But not those who offend the religious sensibilities of Christians or Jews. Do whatever you like with a cross or a bible, but touch a Koran and you’re not only under arrest.<br /><br />You’re also fair game for a stabbing.<br /><br />Hamit Coskun, a half-Armenian and half-Kurdish gentleman, both of whose halves have suffered from genocide under Turkish Islamist rule, decided to protest by burning a copy of the Koran outside the Turkish consulate in London while shouting “Islam is religion of terrorism”.<br /><br />Moussa Kadri set out to prove him right by fetching a knife and stabbing at him while shouting, “I’m going to kill you”. The Muslim terrorist explained to the police that he was just out to “protect my religion” in the traditional Islamic fashion through violence.<br /><br />And the British authorities were typically understanding of Muslim violence against non-Muslims.<br /><br />Moussa Kadrhas, the Muslim stabber, was freed on bail, while Hamit Coskun, the non-violent non-Muslim stabber, was kept locked up. In the UK, being stabbed by a Muslim is considered a more serious sign of guilt than the actual stabbing. And the authorities were much more worried about Coskun, a self-proclaimed “atheist” and “critic of Islam” on the loose, than just another one of the thousands of Muslim terrorists who are already freely running around the country.<br /><br />The stabbing victim was charged with the unique crime of “having intent to cause against the religious institution of Islam”. This had not previously been a crime in any non-Muslim country, but with a Muslim ‘justice minister’ enforcing Islamic law, that may no longer be an accurate description of the United Kingdom anyway.<br /><br />When the case came before the court of justice, District Judge John McGarva denounced Hamit Coskun for his “highly provocative” behavior. “Your actions in burning the Quran where you did were highly provocative, and your actions were accompanied by bad language in some cases directed toward the religion and were motivated at least in part by hatred of followers of the religion.”<br /><br />The Muslim stabber’s trial however was far more leniently handled.<br /><br />Even though Moussa had allegedly shouted “I’m going to kill you” while stabbing at another human being (or at least a human being), he was only charged with possession of a knife and common assault, not attempted murder. The authorities allowed the stabber <a href="https://x.com/StarkNakedBrief/status/1971249396454129804">to send in a picture</a> of the knife and he sent in a picture of a palette knife rather than the bread knife he actually used.<br /><br />The stabber’s judge was as kind and understanding as the stabbee’s judge had not been.<br /><br />Judge Adam Hiddleston, who had previously been part of an organization that defended Muslim illegal alien invaders, <a href="https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/a-quran-a-knife-and-a-travesty-of-justice/">let the Muslim stabber go</a> with a suspended sentence because “you were clearly deeply offended by a man who was protesting outside the consulate and who as part of his protest had set fire to the holy Quran.” Whom was the Koran holy to? Hiddleston.<br /><br />“I see no reason for that sentence to result in immediate custody,” Judge Hiddleston twiddled, describing the Muslim stabber as a “highly respected and valued individual” and claimed, without evidence that, “there is an almost non-existent chance of repetition of this behavior.”<br /><br />Almost. Unless he sees something else that offends his finely honed Islamic sensibilities.<br /><br />In the UK, ordinary people condemning Islamic violence and mass migration have been jailed, but Muslim violence against them is virtually a victimless crime.<br /><br />To convince the public of this, the BBC state media ran a gentle smiling picture of the Muslim stabber and an angry scowling picture of the non-Muslim whom he had stabbed. You could try to ignore the BBC and its hackneyed Ministry of Truth propaganda, but under<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-uk-goes-full-orwell/"> recently passed 1984ish laws</a>, state media must be embedded in smart TVs and soon on YouTube.<br /><br />While burning a copy of the Koran, Hamit Coskun had carried a t-shirt stating that, “Islam is a terrorist ideology. The Quran should be banned”.<a href="https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Rex-v-Hamit-Coskun.pdf"> And he</a> “told the police that he had decided to burn the Quran because he had studied it extensively and that it incited people to terrorism and encourages the beheading of non-believers.” The half-Armenian and half-Kurdish man fully proved his case, not in the UK court system, but where it really matters, in the court of reality.<br /><br />He had proven it so well that the British authorities locked him up, freed his Muslim attacker and then apologized to his stabber for all the trouble that had been caused by offending him.<br /><br />If the British authorities really didn’t believe that Islam and the Koran are the bearers of violent ideologies, they would treat them the way that they do Christianity and Judaism, or at least Hinduism and Buddhism, rather than cowering, flattering and appeasing Muslims, while ruthlessly silencing any political dissent with police squads and prison sentences.<br /><br />When Coskun burned a Koran, two random Muslims, Moussa Kadri and a nameless delivery man (if stabbing a non-Muslim protester who is offending Islam doesn’t earn a prison sentence, kicking him certainly won’t even merit an arrest) quickly turned to violence. That’s the real issue.<br /><br />Rather than stop Muslims from stabbing, running over and bombing people, a policy that European governments had fitfully tried, they’ve moved on to legalizing Muslim violence.<br /><br />In the UK, it’s now illegal to tweet “F___ Hamas” but mostly legal to stab non-Muslims.<br /><br />The next step will be to legalize bombing buses (perhaps on the anniversary of 7/7) and then hijacking planes and flying them into buildings as long as Islam has been properly offended.<br /><br />This is well beyond blasphemy law. Even of the Islamic kind. There are other better names for it. Cowardice, collaboration, treason and Quislingism will do for a start. The Starmer government along with many of its sort are little better than the Petain government in France. They are collaborators put into power by the invaders to suppress any dissent against their rule while making noises that they represent the interests of the nation they’re selling out every day.<br /><br />Moussa Kadri stabbed Coskun from the front, PM Keir Starmer is stabbing England in the back.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/designating-antifa-as-a-domestic-terrorist-organization/">designated</a> Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Now it’s time to cut off their funding and go after those groups that support them.<br /><br />In 2023, Freedom Center Investigates <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/antifa-shares-a-fundraising-platform-with-the-dnc/">exclusively reported</a> that Antifa was raising money through the same Democratic Party platform used by the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC). When Kamala became the candidate, the Harris-Walz campaign went on to<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/kamala-antifa-pedophiles-and-terrorists-share-platform/"> use that same</a> platform. And the DNC and Antifa are both still on it today.<br /><br />The Action Network <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/kamala-antifa-pedophiles-and-terrorists-share-platform/">claimed credit</a> for raising over $70 million for Kamala in 24 hours. The DNC admitted that the “Action Network has been foundational to the DNC’s fundraising and organizing success over the years”. And it’s been foundational to Antifa’s success.<br /><br />Over the years, Freedom Center Investigates documented multiple Antifa groups fundraising on the favorite platform used by the Democratic Party. Today, Defend DC, can still be<a href="https://actionnetwork.org/groups/antifa-dc"> found there </a>raising money for “DC antifascist organizing”. The DC Antifa account appears to have been created by Dylan Petrohilos: a graphic designer who was one of those arrested during the ‘J20’ riots during President Trump’s first inauguration. These riots led to injuries to six police officers, including one who was knocked unconscious by a brick being thrown at his head, attacks on cars, and ‘black bloc’ members with weapons causing over $100,000 in damage to D.C.<br /><br />In an interview, Petrohilos described hanging an Antifa flag outside his house after Trump’s victory and was charged by the DOJ with planning the riot. The flag and a banner reading “Kiss Capitalism Goodbye” were confiscated during the raid, but the case was later dismissed.<br /><br />Defend DC appears to have since rebranded as a ‘coalition’ of radical groups which includes the D.C. chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), as well as local ‘labor’ groups and is continuing to fundraise and organize through the Action Network platform under various names including apparently <a href="https://actionnetwork.org/events/refuse-resist-rebuild-a-non-cooperation-mass-meeting/">Refuse, Resist, Rebuild</a>.<br /><br />The Action Network was even used to host its ‘Nonviolent Direct Action Training’ session that included sessions on “supporting legal needs” at riots and “healing after actions”. Direct Action is often a euphemism for confrontational actions such as blocking streets and interfering with law enforcement. The previous J20 indictments had revealed planning sessions at an “action camp” during which the radicals were told to keep their phones in microwaves. No one engaging in legal protests need to go to such lengths to keep their operational plans secret.<br /><br />The government’s J20 case revealed that “Petrohilos further states that the organizers were asking the participants to wear all black clothing, and the participants should not wear unique clothing because that will make it easier to question or identify them.”<br /><br />At least one of the groups involved in the training, JVP, a pro-terrorist hate group, had been caught blocking streets and attempts to shut down Congress in support of Hamas. And had assaulted Capitol police officers. Other D.C. rallies promoted by the DC account, included one against Musk, which urged participants to “wear a mask” and “take the security measures right for you.”<br /><br />President Trump’s executive order ‘Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization’ has provided federal law enforcement with the authority to “investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa provided material support, including necessary investigatory and prosecutorial actions against those who fund such operations.”<br /><br />That should include the Action Network which is not simply a private fundraising group, but functions as a 501(c)(4) and is therefore also operating under the authority of the IRS.<br /><br />From the beginning, Freedom Center Investigates identified the IRS as the gatekeeper allowing radical leftist groups to fundraise and function, enjoying nonprofit status in some cases, while cracking down on conservative groups. The weaponization of the IRS forced many conservative groups out of the non-profit sector even while leftist groups involved in violence and terrorism were able to benefit from billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidized funding.<br /><br />The Trump administration has the opportunity to operationalize the IRS and begin cleaning house to shut down not only the nonprofit status enjoyed by leftist domestic terrorist groups, but to also target their secondary and tertiary funding sources such as ‘fiscal sponsors’ like Arabella Advisors, the largest and most active professional leftist fiscal sponsor (often associated by some with the Soros network), but also dedicated fundraising platforms like the Action Network, which operate as 501(c)(4)s and occasionally even full non-profit (3)s.<br /><br />The Action Network had plenty of warning that it was hosting Antifa. Freedom Center Investigates exposes revealed Antifa’s presence on the 501(c)(4) platform going back several years. An individual who had been indicted in the J20 riots had been able to create and apparently maintain an account on the site despite the indictment and the damage to D.C.<br /><br />Beyond Antifa, Freedom Center Investigates <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/kamala-antifa-pedophiles-and-terrorists-share-platform/">also revealed that </a>Action Network was providing a platform for Samidoun which had been designated as a front group for PFLP terrorists. Due to this designation, Samidoun was cut off by most financial institutions, but the DNC’s favorite fundraiser continues to provide a platform for the Marxist-Islamist group whose hijackings of New York City bound planes in 1970 provided an inspiration for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.<br /><br />The DNC’s favorite fundraiser also provided a platform for a number of other extremist leftist groups, including a group <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/how-the-irs-enables-a-pro-pedophile-organization/">normalizing pedophiles</a> and raising money for “research” into “the use of fictional or fantasy sexual outlets (e.g., sex dolls, cartoons, fictional stories) among people who have sexual attractions to children” to “promote greater wellbeing among individuals attracted to children.”<br /><br />And the DNC is not just using the Action Network as a platform, it’s listed as a “development partner” alongside the AFL-CIO union network, and leftist extremist sites like DailyKos, and the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) which works to elect Dems locally.<br /><br />To understand how vital Action Network is to the Democrats, a fundraiser explained that, “If you’re a Democrat running for office, you have two options” — NGP VAN and Action Network — “for technology to contact supporters through email.” Action Network also controls Scale to Win which has become “the most trusted name in Democratic and progressive texting”.<br /><br />Now that giant political machine is in violation of the law.<br /><br />The Action Network had every opportunity to comply and legalize its platform in the years since Freedom Center Investigates exposed misconduct, extremism and terrorism on it. Instead it has turned a blind eye to its responsibilities, its own terms of service and its legal obligations in the multiple states that it operates in, as well as its obligations under its 501(c)(4) status.<br /><br />The Trump administration can now move to bust the Democrat Party’s money and texting machine for enabling domestic terrorists: not to mention foreign terrorists and pedophiles.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

A possible war with Egypt may be on the horizon. And while that may seem like a lot, but back in 1948, Israel was forced to fight its War of Independence against genocidal invasions by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.<br /><br />During that conflict, Egypt and Jordan seized control of those parts of Israel that they today claim represent a ‘Palestinian’ state. No such state was created because those territories never represented a unique culture or nationality, only a platform for pursuing the Muslim genocide of the Jews of Israel, as part of the larger mission of the Islamic conquest of non-Muslims.<br /><br />With the complicity of plenty of those same non-Muslims.<br /><br />The Jordanian armies in 1948 were under the command of British generals with the sanction of the Labour government which not only backed the Islamic invasions of Israel but that same year began the process of filling the United Kingdom with Muslim mass migration through the British Nationality Act. PM Keir Starmer is doubling down on both policies of his Labour predecessors, supporting Islamic terrorists in Israel and inviting them to invade and overrun the UK.<br /><br />That is what ‘globalizing the intifada’ really means.<br /><br />The ‘intifada’ is not a war in Israel. It’s a world war. It may well be the final world war. But unlike Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union or Communist China, the invaders don’t represent a mighty military force that can swamp the civilized world on its own. It could not claim a single piece of territory without our sustained appeasement, mutual backstabbing and helpful nation building.<br /><br />The oil industry that funds the global war was built by America, British and other western hands, that was then nationalized by Muslim dictatorships, or like Aramco, gradually nationalized with American taxpayers funding the Saudi tyranny through the ‘Golden Gimmick’ lobbied for by John J. McCloy, the former president of the World Bank, chairman of the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation, who had once quipped, “the Constitution is just a scrap of paper.”<br /><br />Western governments built up Muslim armies in the hopes that they would prove a bulwark against Communism. They welcomed every Muslim dictatorship into the UN, for the same reason, making a mockery of its commitment to democracy, only to have them either side with the Soviet Union against America, or play America and the USSR against each other.<br /><br />Western governments were tasked with maintaining the power of the same Muslim governments that were funding airline hijackings and bombs in their own cities. And then when America and Europe intervened to protect those governments, that was used as a rallying cry for Jihadists to launch a new era of terrorism, and when we intervened to promote ‘democracy’, that allowed the Jihadists to come to power and then double down on waging a war on the West.<br /><br />After selling out the Christians of Lebanon and the secular government of Iran, Western governments spent a generation working to legitimize an Islamic terrorist state inside Israel made up of the parts of Israel that Egypt and Jordan had lost during their attempt to wipe out Israel in the Six Day War, to finally bring about peace. A generation later the ‘Palestinian’ state demonstrated that it could kill far more people and cause far more havoc once it had land.<br /><br />Oct 7 should have buried the ‘Palestinian’ state experiment once and for all, instead it gave it new life, showing once again that the real impetus for the ‘Palestinian’ cause isn’t peace: it’s war. Peace has never been a real world criteria for ‘Palestinian’ statehood. If it had, the state wouldn’t have been set up by terrorists, the terrorists wouldn’t have been armed by Western governments, and Oct 7 wouldn’t have led Western governments to embrace a terror state.<br /><br />Too many people suffer from the misunderstanding that if only they prove to these same governments that the ‘Palestinian’ state is a terrorist operation, they would stop pushing for it. But the only thing such arguments accomplish is to make leaders like France’s Macron or the UK’s Starmer briefly cringe like clergymen caught on camera in a whorehouse before they go right back to vocally advocating for a terrorist state. Because it’s the terrorism they really want.<br /><br />When there is a fundamental discrepancy between what people say they want and what they do, the answer is to ignore what they say and pay attention to their actions. If only their behavior had been limited to Israel, some might be justified in attributing it to antisemitism. But if Starmer, Macron, Canada’s Carney, Australia’s Albanese and many others simply hate Jews, why are they filling their own countries with Muslim terrorists and suppressing opposition to them?<br /><br />Western leaders calling for a ‘Palestinian’ state are not antisemitic. (Or at least that doesn’t prove they are.) They’re trying to destroy Israel just like they’re destroying their own countries.<br /><br />Even as European leftists are demanding a ‘Palestinian’ state in Israel and threatening to bring its existence into being by force, they’re creating ‘Palestinian’ states in their own countries. And the Americans who are the most enthusiastic about waving PLO flags want to destroy America.<br /><br />This isn’t putting words in their mouths or their minds. It’s what they now openly say.<br /><br />Columbia University Apartheid Divest, <a href="https://combatantisemitism.org/studies-reports/amid-latest-columbia-university-controversy-media-fails-to-convey-pro-terror-radicalism-driving-key-players/">whose most famous figure</a>, Mahmoud Khalil, was embraced by Democrats and the media, called for the total eradication of Western civilization.”<br /><br />At The People’s Conference for Palestine, there was a call to “destroy the idea of America in Americans’ heads.” The ‘globalized’ intifada is about a world war on a truly global scale.<br /><br />The drive for a ‘Palestinian’ state is a civilizational death wish out to destroy the civilized world. Those who collaborate with it want war, not peace, and they are as willing to destroy their own countries as they are enthusiastic about bringing down Israel. The only supporters of a ‘Palestinian’ state are the enemies of civilization and their useful idiots.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

The infamous New York City prison has around 7,000 criminals on average and Mamdani cited a pro-crime proposal to reduce the number in there to only 3,700 criminals.<br /><br />That would mean freeing some 3,300 or 47%, nearly half, of the criminals there.<br /><br />Pro-crime policies such as eliminating bail already put most criminals back on the street almost as soon as they’re arrested. The limited number of criminals still being remanded are the worst of the worst. After years of being fed sob stories about shoplifters going to Rikers, Mamdani and the pro-crime activists trying to free half the criminals from Rikers aren’t even pretending.<br /><br />Mamdani cited an article by an activist from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, once a fine institution that produced capable people, but that has become an academic hub for pro-crime activism.<br /><br />Its proposals for cutting the Rikers population in half include no bail for first arrests “even in serious violent felony cases”, freeing three-quarters of criminals “facing violent felony charges”, exempting from prison those charged with a list of sentences that covers sexual misconduct, forcible touching, as well as sexual abuse in the second and third degrees, mandatory pre-trial release of criminals after a certain period, more early release for a variety of offenders including those who have committed assault and sexual abuse, and releasing criminals “who really do pose a flight risk” but offering them “employment assistance” to keep them from running away.<br /><br />What is abundantly clear is that there is no way to significantly reduce the violent criminal population at Rikers without freeing violent criminals including some of the worst ones.<br /><br />46% of the criminals at Rikers Island were charged with a violent felony.<br /><br />After a decade of pro-crime policies and the mass jailbreaks of the COVID and BLM era, the only ones still in Rikers are the truly dangerous. The prison is full of repeat offenders, criminals who have committed horrifying acts against the public and the violently disturbed madmen.<br /><br />And those are the ones whom Mamdani is proposing to set loose.<br /><br />Past pro-crime proposals pretended that the only ones who would be released would be the misleadingly named “non-violent offenders” (in reality, the so-called non-violent offenders are often violent criminals who are being ‘charged down’ and have had violent crimes defined down to manufacture the illusion that crime is lower than it really is), but that’s no longer on the table.<br /><br />Mamdani’s cited proposal has two separate sections that explicitly mention freeing violent criminals and several others that implicitly require mass releases of dangerous criminals.<br /><br />The proposal endorsed by Mamdani as a strategy for clearing out the prisons complains that judges released only a quarter of criminals facing violent felony charges (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault) while keeping around half in custody. It sneers at the “people’s perceived (and often misperceived) risk to public safety” when it comes to letting violent criminals loose.<br /><br />What’s the actual risk?<br /><br />Over the last 28 day period in New York City, murder is up 19%, rape is up 38.9%, the number of shooting victims is up 36%.<br /><br />Crime, despite all the political pro-crime narratives, is getting worse. And people know it.<br /><br />A majority of New Yorkers say that crime has gotten worse since 2020 and BLM riots. <a href="https://manhattan.institute/article/assessing-the-issues-surveying-nycs-likely-mayoral-electorate-on-policy">70% want </a>more police officers and most want an end to revolving door arrests and to see bail come back because “too many people are being arrested and immediately released into the streets where they commit violent crimes”. 61% oppose the general plan to close Rikers Island that was championed in the report cited by Mamdani and by the pro-crime lobby in general.<br /><br />No polling has been done on the specifics of freeing half the criminals in Rikers, including many violent felons, but the public is unlikely to be in favor of such a mass jailbreak.<br /><br />Even though a majority fear being the victim of a crime, Mamdani laughs at the idea of restoring public safety and bringing back a functional criminal justice system to New York City. “What purpose” does prison serve, Mamdani asked in one conversation, suggesting that people defend what the pro-crime lobby calls ‘the carceral state’ or the prison system “because of the way it makes them feel.”<br /><br />The purpose served by the prison system is keeping criminals off the street. Earlier this year, a monster with<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/26/us-news/nypd-commish-tisch-rips-das-albany-on-unsustainable-revolving-door-of-violent-criminals-going-back-on-streets/"> 70 prior arrests</a>, including smashing a 2-year-old girl in the face with a suitcase, smashed a woman’s head against a pole in the subway. The NYPD commissioner revealed that the crime wave was driven by repeat offenders arrested three or more times for the same crime.<br /><br />What will those numbers look like if Mamdani frees a prison half full of violent criminals?<br /><br />Murders and rapes are already up over the summer. Some lower category offenses appear to be down, but that’s only because they’re no longer being reported or charged. But the real crime wave is still coming. Every previous mass release of criminals has made New York City more dangerous and less safe. But the release of the worst of the worst may soon be coming.<br /><br />And the price will be paid by children playing in parks, by tourists stopping to see the sights, by random people crossing the streets and by the most vulnerable, women, children and the elderly, being terrorized by the worst monsters who used to be kept locked away in prison.<br /><br />Closing Rikers Island and freeing violent criminals will make New York City into Rikers as the city becomes one big prison in which the criminals are free and everyone else is locked up.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

There’s no question that he made an impact on a minority of students and there’s also no question that the majority of campuses, professors and students only became more hostile to free speech since his campaign began.<br /><br />The numbers are<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/treat-campuses-like-terrorist-training-camps/"> sadly clear</a> and they’ve only been getting worse over the years.<br /><br />1 in 3 students support using violence to silence opposing speakers. 7 out of 10 want to shout down controversial speakers like those who oppose the transgender and BLM movements.<br /><br />The vast majority of students do not want to debate. They want to silence any opposition.<br /><br />We are not going to debate our way out of this because you can’t debate those who not only don’t want to listen, but those who are determined to shut you up any way that they can.<br /><br />You can’t debate those who want to shout you down unless you shout even louder. You can’t debate those who mob and beat you. And you certainly can’t debate those who shoot at you.<br /><br />Like Martin Luther King, Charlie Kirk went on campuses to challenge and call out an oppressive system. Where some had been beaten, kicked and threatened, Charlie paid the ultimate price for his courage. And there is no reason to think he will be the last. If there’s one thing we know, it’s that a new low can very quickly become the new normal. It’s only a question of ‘when’.<br /><br />After spending years speaking on college campuses, and struggling against threats, rants and mob attacks, David Horowitz understood that speaking out on campus was not enough, drawing on his civil rights experience, he called for the university system to be urgently reformed.<br /><br />His main vehicle for that was the<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/academic-bill-of-rights/"> Academic Bill of Rights </a>which ‘controversially’ proposed that no professors or students should be rewarded or punished for their political beliefs, that teaching should reflect different points of view, and that colleges should maintain an “environment conducive to the civil exchange of ideas” and that the “obstruction of invited campus speakers” should not be tolerated by university administrators.<br /><br />This proposal, with its call not to indoctrinate students, fire professors and assault campus speakers was denounced by the Association of American Colleges and Universities, the American Federation of Teachers, the American Association of University Professors, the American Library Association, the American Historical Association and even the AFL-CIO.<br /><br />That is how we got here. It’s how we got to even liberal professors who dissent in any way from leftist dogma being hounded out of campuses. It’s how we got terrorist groups rampaging around campuses. It’s how we ended up with Charlie Kirk’s blood on a college campus.<br /><br />The David Horowitz Freedom Center has been doing this for over two decades. And we know it’s not about a “lone wolf” shooter or a few extreme students. This is coming from the top down. University presidents, deans and professors made colleges into war zones. They chose to shut down free speech and purge dissent. They play ‘bait and switch’ games when they’re called before Congress, promising that this time they’ll crack down on violence and terrorism.<br /><br />They’re lying.<br /><br />Last year, leftist and terrorist groups rampaged around UCLA, claiming parts of it for terror camps and assaulting anyone who wanted to get through. They didn’t just do this on their own, but with the complicity of professors, who joined with them, of administrators who allowed campus security to back them up, of local officials, including the LAPD, who refused to make arrests or take reports of assaults against Jewish and conservative students happening right in front of them.<br /><br />I spoke to an eyewitness who described an LAPD captain deliberately refusing to intervene.<br /><br />After the violence, top California officials, stood with the terrorists and rioters, used taxpayer money to pay their legal bills, selectively prosecuted only those non-leftist students who stood up to the campus thugs, and, from Gov. Gavin Newsom, on down, are rejecting any settlement.<br /><br />We’re not going to debate our way out of this because we’re not in a war with ideas. We are up against an oppressive system that uses power and violence to suppress its political opponents.<br /><br />That system has to be broken.<br /><br />It’s not going to be fixed by debate. On campuses that resemble terrorist training camps, debate is a courageous confrontation with a totalitarian system. The system however holds all the power, enforces discriminatory measures, and looks the other way when violence takes place.<br /><br />After a generation of rejecting the<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/academic-bill-of-rights/"> Academic Bill of Rights</a>, its principles are an important beginning, but the system of higher education has made it clear that it will not voluntarily adopt them. Nor can the system be trusted to regulate itself because it is corrupted by radicalization.<br /><br />Only external regulation can even begin to keep campus extremism and violence in check.<br /><br />Universities act like the worst segregationists and the Trump administration is right to begin treating them that way, imposing hefty penalties which should be bolstered by further consent decrees and constant monitoring of the worst offenders, like Columbia, Harvard and the University of California system, the way some southern states were monitored for decades.<br /><br />But while there was a national bipartisan consensus that racial segregation was wrong, Democrats continue to believe in political segregation and oppression on campus. They have not recanted or repented, but, like Gov. Newsom have only doubled down on the abuses.<br /><br />That means once a Democrat is in the White House, all the abuses will return, and politicians like Sen. Chuck Schumer have already told college presidents that they don’t need to worry. The Democrat message to universities is to just wait Trump out and they can resume the abuses.<br /><br />And that is not acceptable.<br /><br />Penalties send a message. But like executive orders, they’re only a temporary band aid that the Democrats will tear off once they’re back in power. And the wound will be bloodier and uglier.<br /><br />The modern American university needs to be fundamentally reconstructed and reformed. The Left had a vision for how to hijack and remake the educational system using private and public influence. Conservatives need such a vision and they need to be willing to implement it.<br /><br />Key to the leftist vision was massively expanding the college curriculum, watering down the elements of both scientific and classical education, while creating numerous positions and even entire departments dedicated to radical political indoctrination, and also massively expanding the student body, providing incentives and using economic pressure to push teens into college.<br /><br />Restoring the proper function of a university begins with dramatically shrinking both the scope of the curriculum and the size of the student body. DEI bans are the beginning of restructuring colleges away from embedding radical politics into every discipline and restoring the fundamental tenets of a classical education. And reducing the national student body would allow universities to focus on a core mission instead of on treating college like a rite of passage.<br /><br />In 1910, there were a million college students, by the 1950s there were 2.5 million, by 1970 there were 8.5 million, by 1984 there were 12.5 million and we now approach 20 million.<br /><br />Are we better off for it?<br /><br />Federal and state governments directly and indirectly provide much of the funding for higher education. As do private donors. They have the ability to focus colleges on education over politics by shrinking their runaway curriculums, departments, deans and endowments. Rather than funding college for all, the government should make it possible to once again get a good job without the need to waste four years and six figures on a worthless diploma.<br /><br />The Trump administration has the ability to create meaningful change that will be difficult for a future administration to undo. And that will begin fixing college campuses and fixing America.<br /><br />College, to echo Bill Clinton, should be “safe, legal and rare.” And America will be better for it.<br /><br />We can’t debate our way out of this. Not unless we want to debate fists, firebombs and bullets. But we can fundamentally transform our way out of this. That’s what the Left did once upon a time.<br /><br />Now, we need to do it too.</span><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><br /></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

It was typical of the bold incisive rhetoric that terrified and infuriated the Left. And got him killed.<br /><br />It was also the kind of direct truth that few on the right were willing to speak out loud.<br /><br />Charlie Kirk continued to <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/charlie-kirk-highlights-freedom-center-reporting-on-christian-genocide/">discuss our reporting </a>on the Islamic genocide against Christians at a time when hardly anyone else would. And with his death, one of the most prominent voices still willing to challenge the Islamic invasion of America and its war on the world was silenced.<br /><br />“Did you know 125,000 Christians have been murdered and 19,000 churches destroyed by Muslims in Nigeria in the last 15 years? Weird how that never gets any attention. Wonder why,” Charlie Kirk <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/charlie-kirk-highlights-freedom-center-reporting-on-christian-genocide/">tweeted while</a> linking to our Front Page Magazine article on the African genocide.<br /><br />Not only are there far too few prominent figures on the right still willing to discuss the Muslim murder of Christians, but some of the most vocal voices laying claim to Charlie’s legacy, like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, claim to care about Christians, but refuse to discuss Islamic violence and appear to spend most of their time promoting Islamic propaganda instead.<br /><br />“Islam is not compatible with western civilization,” Charlie Kirk tweeted in June of this year.<br /><br />Tucker Carlson had a very different perspective, arguing that<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNlW-ELNXhd/"> Sharia law was great</a> and leads to a wonderful society where “the rape rate is zero.”<br /><br />“I remember after 9/11 when I was like, you know, all about attacking Islam,” Tucker said, recanting his past criticism of Islam. “I knew nothing about Islam. I’m not Muslim, by the way.”<br /><br />Then he praised the idea of submitting to Allah.<br /><br />While Charlie Kirk stood up to Islam, Tucker Carlson submitted to it.<br /><br />Much of the recent focus has been on Tucker Carlson’s comments about Israel, but that’s putting things in the wrong order. Before Tucker began attacking Israel, he had begun praising Islam and the Muslim oil tyrannies funding the subversion of America. His subsequent defenses of Hamas and Hezbollah proceeded from that, not from ‘antisemitism’ or any interest in Israel.<br /><br />Tucker Carlson doesn’t hate Jews. He just says whatever the Saudis, Qataris and other wealthy Muslim tyrannies want to hear, whether it’s praising their rulers or defending Islamic terrorists.<br /><br />At the beginning of 2025, Tucker claimed that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf <a href="https://x.com/Sultanknish/status/1961247269069426881">were a</a> “glimpse of what the future holds” and urged his listeners to follow him to the Muslim dictatorship where churches were banned and which had supplied the hijackers who carried out 9/11.<br /><br />“I’ve spent a lot of time in the Gulf. I think it’s one of the most amazing places on planet Earth,” Tucker gushed. And for a guy who once claimed to embrace the MAGA movement (before texting, “we are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights” and “I hate him passionately”) Tucker really was spending a whole lot of his time abroad in the Muslim world.<br /><br />Charlie Kirk described the Saudis more succinctly and accurately as “a group of radical Islamist Bedouin tribes that struck liquid gold”.<br /><br />But Tucker Carlson wasn’t just playing tourist, he was pandering to Muslim tyrants.<br /><br />Tucker returned to Dubai and lavished shameless praise on the UAE’s tyrant as a “wise leader unlike any other president I have met.”<br /><br />That would presumably include President Trump.<br /><br />“I have spoken to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan several times, and I have never heard a world leader speak with such humility and wisdom,” Tucker Carlson flattered.<br /><br />After 9/11, Rudy Giuliani had sent Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal packing and rejected his $10 million check. Tucker Carlson however sat down for another fawning interview with Alwaleed in which he agreed that monarchy was better than democracy.<br /><br />There was hardly an oil-rich Muslim dictator whom Tucker Carlson didn’t laud as the greatest.<br /><br />“Sheikh Mohammed, the Prime Minister of Qatar, is a good man. He’s a special guy. He really is. And he really cares,” Tucker Carlson assured his audience. And the Qataris, who funded the Muslim Brotherhood, and harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11? “They’re good, decent people.”<br /><br />Charlie Kirk believed that, “Islam is not compatible with western civilization” while Tucker Carlson appeared to believe that Islam was superior to western civilization. Just as significant as what Tucker was talking about, the greatness of the Muslim world, were the things he was not talking about. The mass arrests of protesters against the Islamization of the UK were a major agenda item for Turning Point UK, but were invisible to those listening to Tucker.<br /><br />Charlie Kirk had called out Islam as a threat to America and a Christian future while Tucker’s pandering to Islam was a betrayal of America, Christianity and all of western civilization.<br /><br />After losing his FOX News show and being forced to find a new business model, Tucker Carlson switched from attacking Islam to praising it. In 2019, Muslim Advocates had demanded that FOX News fire Tucker for his “Islamophobic” attacks against Rep. Ilhan Omar. In 2020, Tucker Carlson had mocked Biden for pandering to Muslims by praising the Koran.<br /><br />Three years later, Tucker sounded just like Biden and so many other useful idiots did.<br /><br />About the only time Tucker Carlson featured Islamic terrorism was to minimize or to deny its existence whether in Israel on Oct 7 or in America on 9/11. It’s not that Tucker didn’t know what was taking place. On his old FOX News show, Tucker had spoken forthrightly against Islam. On his new show, he pandered to Islam, praised Sharia and submission to Allah.<br /><br />Could Charlie Kirk have profited from joining Tucker in pandering to Islam? No doubt.<br /><br />But he refused to do it.<br /><br />There was a time when Tucker Carlson stood up to Islam, but that time is long past. Tucker wants to take Charlie’s legacy, but lacks his courage. Contrary to what Barack Obama and Tucker Carlson tell us, the future will not belong to those who submit to Islam, but those who defy it. Even when they are murdered, the courage of those who defy Islam lives on while the cowardice of those who submit to it destroys everything else that they do.<br /><br />Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson both in their own way showed us that we all have a choice between courage and cowardice, between standing on our feet and getting on our knees, between strength and submission.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

The most striking thing about their house, as Front Page Magazine <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/is-he-dead-yet-anti-trump-men-muslim-men-busted-for-planting-bomb-under-utah-fox-news-van-covering-kirk-killing/">had reported</a>, was that it appeared to be covered in anti-Trump signage.<br /><br />Including a black flag reading, “Is He Dead Yet?”<br /><br />“Is He Dead Yet” merchandise also made a recent appearance when a New York City public school teacher posted a photo of himself wearing that t-shirt and celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death.<br /><br />In a famously sensitive era, where <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-york-teacher-suspended-celebrating-charlie-kirks-assassination-good-riddance-bad-garbage">do you go to</a> buy a “Is he dead yet?” t-shirt or flag? Anywhere as it turns out. Especially from those retailers that have relentlessly censored conservatives.<br /><br />Amazon had censored everything from books against transgenderism and BLM to banning the sale of the Confederate flag (and even at one point pulling episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard) but <a href="https://www.amazon.com/America-Liberty-Resistance-Persist-President/dp/B0F3B4DJR4">you can get</a> a “Is He Dead Yet” flag which the Amazon description openly bills as “an anti-Trump flag” making it clear that it’s not a reference to any other memes with that line.<br /><br />(The actual Amazon seller is in Eastern Europe, so Amazon is helping a foreign national sell materials to Americans calling for the death of the President of the United States. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos also owns the Washington Post which spent a lot of time warning about foreign interference and foreign disinformation, but its owner actually profits nicely from it.)<br /><br />Amazon also <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sticker-Large-Funny-Prank-Trump/dp/B0DV467MGK/ref=sr_1_10?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.hFLQe4Nu_zXK9uK8sqb8elnLSbnbCaF3smCpyC2KeYt7jA5kr9wqHHRkYAKNAlS3ZjqODeLBu64yTOONvSKBLKVdnd9DmR3hhzpntCrIFrgMpYYkkNuur3DTE20rsn8s7yiUnTtUVmehB_d-yA-jO9p-z3_QfJNzerk-itVsmZeBnF4aa9QwTOFySx8OjTfJKCJbPlgyrNA8EDDMrtLSvzkObEBjsJwouS7IL1d2I7hwNT3w0xXnQp3Pt59yeH43k8WqJ7l8yCKM94xbNe06f-9iCC7LmbFqN0uXyhyrjJw.jbPJDxiN2mXfNVHPMeJ98LIxXf4j14Xw7pJ1ajeiFGs&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=is+he+dead+yet&amp;qid=1757956058&amp;sr=8-10">stocks mugs</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Graphic-Resist-Persist-Cotton-Racism/dp/B0F3D1M6MK/ref=sr_1_19?crid=NP7J378L8CD2&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.l1BhyVZjLcI4Pl1WQGDair7Xb4vO9ZYtzizq96BsftHGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.Evji1dg76wS17C2dCgkkO4gY60ES7R9JKvFcgSKtFaQ&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=is%2Bhe%2Bdead%2Byet%2Btrump&amp;qid=1757957265&amp;sprefix=is%2Bhe%2Bdead%2Byet%2Btrump%2Caps%2C104&amp;sr=8-19&amp;xpid=n4O_tctem24JW&amp;th=1">t-shirts</a>,<a href="https://www.amazon.com/He-Dead-Yet-Magnet-Sticker/dp/B0F19B9P71/ref=sr_1_5?crid=NP7J378L8CD2&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.YFbWNycI4UxC9KTlJRvtvg7qiQI7Qx8497yNPiSQgFVFIF63Fctn3jRNARemqMBNyXrb_LcqNgLBQRsA_iiWHlffKnkeCP7SFqx1Zb46NmnjGCNr0TuZKQ7UzyaVS5DdnA1Llvgm3G5j0ibufEo9DiEwz6H4KTqnUzo620SlWRwEcz7YLCaVVo1CNmwjVbNVFYpoYHxQntKbyQkOHfxAFVXrOM5fTswV61-CLzfou1U.bkswdoiN_zusRgeHEXkt9YEmEwH21__RfzJsDfmGzzc&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=is+he+dead+yet+trump&amp;qid=1757956266&amp;sprefix=is+he+dead+yet+trump%2Caps%2C104&amp;sr=8-5"> stickers </a>and bumper stickers with that phrase that specifically refer to Trump.

Some of the Chinese sellers pushing merchandise calling for Trump’s death also responded to Charlie Kirk’s murder by pushing merchandise commemorating his killing to conservatives. Nothing else could or should be expected from China, but it’s Amazon that bears the responsibility here.<br /><br />So much so that Amazon appears to have paid for Google ads for “Is He Dead Yet”.<br /><br />Amazon allowed all of this to proliferate on its platform even after two assassination attempts against President Trump and has taken no action to remove it and enforce its terms of service.<br /><br />Etsy, which had relentlessly censored not only conservatives, but anything un-woke including Dr. Seuss merchandise (after he was deemed racist) <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8819877/Etsy-bans-sellers-heart-JK-Rowling-items-promoting-products-F-JK-Rowling-slogan.html?ref=quillette.com">and the slogan</a> “I Love JK Rowling”, and recently once again rewrote its TOS to prohibit “degrading language” towards illegal aliens, is awash in every possible variety of Trump death merchandise including mock wine labels and a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1888995758/is-he-dead-yet-green-flatline-mugs-anti?click_key=cec11f1b-09b9-46fe-9ddb-14d2c68571ad%3Ad6ea42186f4f8ddba7ec64a3670c730678aa2583&amp;click_sum=94f80e6e&amp;ls=s&amp;ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=is+he+dead+yet+trump&amp;ref=search_grid-1026894-1-6&amp;sr_prefetch=0&amp;frs=1&amp;sts=1&amp;nob=1&amp;content_source=cec11f1b-09b9-46fe-9ddb-14d2c68571ad%253Ad6ea42186f4f8ddba7ec64a3670c730678aa2583">mug reading</a> “Is He Dead Yet” with Trump’s signature as an EKG line from the ‘resistance’.<br /><br />“RIP Trump postcards” feature a dead Trump with X’s over his eyes in clown makeup. “It won’t solve everything when he exits this mortal stage, but it will feel f*cking great,” the description reads. An ‘Anti-Trump’ wine label features a skull and the motto “open drink, dance on grave.” There are stickers with an orange toupee on a skull, a “we’ll be grateful when he’s dead” sticker of dancing skeletons, and a scented soy wax candle titled “Smells like his funeral”.<br /><br />Unlike Amazon, which is dominated by Chinese third party seller spam, Etsy’s sellers are usually authentic American leftists and their products a genuine expression of partisan hatred.<br /><br />Etsy knowingly allowed this climate of hate to proliferate on its platform in violation of its terms of service which ban “violent language” even while it was cracking down on anything that was in the slightest politically incorrect.<br /><br />It’s not just Amazon and Etsy. “Is He Dead Yet” merchandise is commonplace on other giant online retail platforms like eBay, and across smaller merchandising sites.<br /><br />While some of the “Is He Dead Yet” merchandise claims to come from America, the vast majority is being produced in Communist China.<br /><br />The People’s Republic of China does not actually turn a blind eye toward what it mass produces. Merchandise critical of Xi or the PRC being produced in China is unthinkable and writers trying to get books critical of Communism printed in China have run into problems.<br /><br />China’s mass production of merchandise calling for President Trump’s death or murder is a decision that would have been made at some point within the Communist Party bureaucracy which maintains extensive censorship over any kind of speech in the giant dictatorship.<br /><br />And Chinese companies not only produce products celebrating Trump’s death for third parties, but Chinese companies are deeply immersed in the business of marketing these products on their largest retail platforms.<br /><br />Temu, a Chinese Communist company, has a large selection of “Is He Dead Yet” merchandise specifically targeting Trump. Critics have pointed out that Temu “maintains documented connections to the Chinese Communist Party” meaning that the slogan is being promoted to Americans by a company linked to an enemy regime.<br /><br />So this is not simply a decision by one Chinese retail platform to stock Trump death gear.<br /><br />Shein, the second largest Chinese retail ‘fast fashion’ platform used by Americans, also lists “Is He Dead Yet” t-shirts explicitly referencing Trump. Alibaba, one of the world’s largest retailers, has “Is He Dead Yet” t-shirts listed on its AliExpress direct sales platform. “Is He Dead Yet” is not a Chinese information op, but China’s Communist system is happy to promote it.<br /><br />As are Amazon, Etsy, eBay and other major retail giants that censor conservatives, but empower leftists to celebrate and call for the deaths of Trump and other conservatives.<br /><br />Charlie Kirk’s murder was marinated in internet memes. These memes are promoted and enabled by a Big Tech system that practices two-tier content policing. The “Is He Dead Yet” merchandise is an example of the kinds of popular leftist memes that make the murder of conservatives into a knowingly hip joke that eventually leads to an assassin’s bullet.<br /><br />The Left has traded debate and democracy for fantasizing about the deaths of its enemies.<br /><br />And some leftists do more than fantasize. That is how a bullet clipped President Trump’s ear. It’s why Charlie Kirk is dead. Woke corporations pretend that they had nothing to do with it, but the moment you search their platforms, you find that they were actually profiting from the death cult.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

It’s a question that also ought to be addressed to the various public figures, politicians, intellectuals and talkers, who have recanted the transgender heresy.<br /><br />We know that they claimed to believe in one obviously wrong thing because of some combination of social pressure, manufactured consensus and intellectual incoherence.<br /><br />What else do they hypocritically assert in public while privately doubting?<br /><br />The intellectual crisis that led to Gladwell publicly asserting something that a small child, never mind a respected thinker, knew was wrong has its roots in the dual collapse of the western mind. Every preexisting moral and rational system, whether the Judeo-Christian ethos or the scientific method, is being dismantled as reactionary and is in the process of being replaced with the moral imperative of a revolutionary power shift from the oppressed to the oppressors.<br /><br />This permanent state of moral emergency may not be questioned and its specific assertions are not subject to any of the religious or rational tests that once provided people with a consistent worldview based around clear principles rather than hysterical assertions that the crisis of the moment, ‘trans kids’, global warming, police shootings, Gaza or any of a grab bag of causes, is too grave to subject it to the rules of evidence in a search for the actual truth.<br /><br />The Left claims that its various ideological flavors are rational and scientific, but they are nothing of the kind, instead they use ideology to pick and choose their science. That was why the Soviet Union could champion Lysenkoism and lock up actual scientists because the pseudoscience fit the Communist conception of how life should work. Not how it did work.<br /><br />That is why skeptics are right to question environmentalist claims of human industry causing planetary destruction for matching all too closely with traditional leftist anti-capitalism, its luddite obsessions and the romanticization of the pre-industrial countryside, no matter how many PhDs assert that they represent expert opinion that just happens to match their politics.<br /><br />The bizarre notion that men could become women by identifying as women fit a ‘Lysenkoist’ notion of human plasticity. There was and is nothing scientific to the entire thing. Doctors and researchers have brushed away past subjective claims of patient experiences with various medical conditions, even when those claims were later substantiated, chose to entirely discard basic biology here not because of any new data, but because ideology demanded it.<br /><br />The transgender case rested on nothing more than special pleading, on long since discredited claims that ‘validating’ delusions about gender spectrums prevented suicides (and where else are doctors willing to prop up patient delusions, let alone perform highly risky unnecessary cosmetic procedures to validate those feelings) and its assertions about men being born with ‘female brains’ were the subject of feverish fantasies in online fetish groups, not research.<br /><br />The ‘science’ of the transgender case lay not in its assertion of the positive, that men could become women, but in the negative, in its radical destruction of what (as part of this process) it dubbed the gender binary. The Left never really proves its points, rather it uses conspirational agitation, turning that which it seeks to destroy into a strawman, picks out-of-context pieces of information to poke holes in it, asserts conspiracy theories in which the strawman represents a broader systemic form of oppression and then politicizes the debate into a binary choice between supporting the victims or being one of the oppressors. That is what sucked Gladwell in and so many others liberals who fear being ‘on the wrong side of history’ more than a big lie.<br /><br />Intellectuals and public figures who fell for an ideological case rather than a factual one and who confused ethics and morality with the tenets of leftist ideology rationalized the unreasonable and now that the case has collapsed have to rationalize why they did it.<br /><br />Did anyone really believe that men could become women? It’s the same question as whether anyone really believed that redistribution of wealth by a centralized government could make society fair. They may not have believed that it was really true, but they believed that it was right. That is the tribute that liberals pay to leftists, agreeing to see the world not as it is, but as it can be made to be, and confusing their monstrous totalitarian delusions with idealism.<br /><br />Modern liberals (rather than classical liberals) and leftists both share a belief in the overwhelming power of social transformation to make society ideal. The liberal border line used to be that the transformation had to be voluntary, rational and based on the realities of human nature. On the other side you had Marxism with its morass of conspiracy theories, hypothetical economics, tyrannical bureaucracies and grad student power fantasies. Liberals could accept socialism as long as its implementation was plausible and appeared to be voluntary.<br /><br />The border line is long gone. As is for the most part any distinct liberal identity. The Democrats, a party of which liberals were once a fringe, base their plans for total social transformation on the same conspiracy theories, fantasy economics and power grabs that characterized Marxists. The only way such nonsense can hold up is with total ideological conformity. Shutting up opponents, whether timid liberals like Gladwell or vocal conservatives like Charlie Kirk, is the only way that any of what now passes for liberalism can continue to control the discourse.<br /><br />Believing in a dozen impossible ideological things before breakfast is not a bug, it’s a test of the communications system. Extraordinary claims used to require extraordinary proof until it was reversed so that extraordinary claims like men can become women, there is no such thing as inflation unless companies choose to raise prices and the police are committing genocide against black people became overwhelmingly accepted by liberal institutions with no proof at all, only ideological emoting, while the existence of women, inflation and crime required extraordinary degrees of proof and were denounced as dangerous backward notions.<br /><br />In 2024, Democrats lost an election built on all three of those arguments. The general public continued to believe in the existence of women, wanted police to protect them from criminals and refused to believe that inflation was a figment of their imagination or could be solved by blaming companies for raising prices. As consequential as each of these three issues are, encompassing economics, society and the rule of law, the lies are crucial for understanding the corruption of the intellectual class and their role in corrupting our discourse.<br /><br />The nation’s intellectual class has been divided for the most part between radicals who will assert anything, such as that looting is a public good, that castrating children is best for them and that AI will soon bring us ‘fully-automated luxury communism’ so that no one will have to work, and timid liberals who will pretend to believe anything to keep their class and station.<br /><br />Universities, publishing, nonprofits and the other venues for intellectuals have become echo chambers in which any ideologically correct absurdities, no matter how manifestly irrational, false and mad, can take hold, thrive and then be used as a purity test to purge heretics. They are venues where only liars, idiots and those who pretend to believe them can earn a living.<br /><br />It can be hard to tell apart the liars from those only pretending to believe their lies, and both are easily confused with the idiots who may only be pretending to be idiots, but in the final analysis all three are members of a political class pretending to be an intellectual class. When a lie becomes sufficiently unpopular, the people who pretended to believe the liars apologize for that particular lie alone, rather than for the moral and intellectual failings that led to it.<br /><br />What other lies do they only pretend to believe? We’ll never know until those lies become unpopular too. But transgender ideology offered the simplest possible common sense test to people who claim to be able to tackle the most challenging scientific, ethical and philosophical dilemmas. They failed. And the entire edifice of an intellectual class failed along with them.<br /><br /><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Why else was a mob wearing ‘Free Luigi’ t-shirts and caps associated with a Nintendo video game character hanging around an unappealing stretch of Center Street that not even a feeble attempt to stick a mostly unused park between the courthouses and government buildings could make livable.<br /><br />It also brought home the ongoing leftist support for the “assassination culture” highlighted by Charlie Kirk before his murder and by the leftists cheering his killing across social media.<br /><br />Luigi’s leftists had gathered early Tuesday morning, bringing sleeping bags, along with books about Communism and “Mansplaining’, and bottled water and Gatorade brought from nearby businesses in Chinatown run by elderly men and women who had fled Communist China.<br /><br />Many had a good deal in common with Luigi Mangione: a rich kid turned radical. After all, no one who works for a living could just take Tuesday off and hang around Lower Manhattan.<br /><br />Above all else, they wore their green ‘L’ caps like berets from a 60s militant organization. The reference to the Mario Bros video game cartoon character named ‘Luigi’ was typical of the hipster meme pop culture that the woke left, the woke right and Charlie Kirk’s killer had been marinated in. What had been pop culture irony for Gen X is tongue in cheek terrorism for Gen Z radicals who use pop culture references and memes to make murder and hate seem playful.<br /><br />Gen X had used pop culture to tweak real world concerns while Gen Z radicals borrow pop culture to make their horrible politics seem cute, dressing up Communism and Nazism in cartoons, in Mario and Luigi, or in anime characters, for overgrown malicious children dreaming of a world in which WWII or the Cold War had gone very differently.<br /><br />“Justice will prevail,” a skull and crossbones sign brandished by one man read. “Whoever wins this war becomes justice.”<br /><br />In Manhattan, that had already happened. And that meant justice would not be done.<br /><br />By the time Judge Carro threw out first degree murder charges against Luigi, the crowd had moved on to another of the micro-parks usually occupied by Chinese senior citizens playing board games on stone tables or court workers grabbing some Mexican food, where they clapped and awkwardly danced, but mostly taped each other, immediately uploading the spectacle they were creating to social media so they could take credit for it all.<br /><br />But Luigi’s fan club had nothing to do with it.<br /><br />Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, a <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/did-new-yorkers-die-so-a-da-could-target-trump/">pro-crime prosecutor so radical </a>that even Soros associates emailed me to disavow him, who came into office and in his Day One memo had ordered prosecutors not to pursue prison sentences for many crimes including armed robberies and told them not to ask for life sentences, had botched an easy case from the beginning.<br /><br />Whether deliberately or through DEI incompetence, no one knows.<br /><br />Judge Carro had previously given a pass to Mary Saunders, a woman who took part in her family’s murder of an Afghan war vet, and let her off with time served, and gave only 15 years to a transgender man who murdered a mailman at a deli after claiming that the man had misgendered him. Carro justified the light sentence for the transgender murderer who had previous offenses because “proving someone’s intent to kill is always difficult”.<br /><br />Generally stabbing someone in the chest and neck indicates an “intent to kill”, but not to Judge Carro. And killing a member of a group as part of a political cause is generally terrorism.<br /><br />But, once again, not to Judge Carro.<br /><br />There was no evidence that Luigi Mangione had intended to “intimidate and coerce a civilian population” while murdering a civilian or that he had “made any demands of government or sought any particular government policy change, let alone that he did so by intimidation or coercion,” Judge Carro falsely claimed even as outside a mob was doing just that.<br /><br />Luigi Mangione even wrote that the purpose of the murder was to “win public support”.<br /><br />“There is no indication in the statute that a murder committed for ideological reasons (in this case, the defendant’s apparent desire to draw attention to what he perceived as inequities or greed within the American health care system), fits within the definition of terrorism,” the judge argued.<br /><br />If murdering people for ideological reasons isn’t terrorism, what is?<br /><br />The judge dismissed Luigi Mangione’s own stated “revolutionary anarchism” as insufficient evidence that he intended to “influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion” and then argued that CEO Brian Thompson and the 400,000 employees of United Healthcare could not “constitute a ‘civilian population'”.<br /><br />If trying to intimidate 400,000 civilians isn’t terrorism, again, what is?<br /><br />While Judge Carro may not have been wearing a green ‘L’ cap, his argument is suspiciously similar to the rougher one being made by the ‘Free Luigi’ mob outside.<br /><br />Rather than following the law, Carro chose to read the most sympathetic interpretation into Luigi’s writings. “The defendant’s apparent objective, as stated in his writings, was not to threaten, intimidate, or coerce, but rather, to draw attention to what he perceived as the greed ofthe insurance industry,” the judgewheedled. “The defendant emphasized that he wished to spread a ‘message’ and ‘win public support’ about ‘every.thing wrong with our health system.'”<br /><br />And, most significantly to the judge, the terrorist didn’t believe he was a terrorist.<br /><br />Judge Carro argues that “the defendant explicitly contrasted himself with Ted Kaczynski, the ‘Unabomber,’ because he ‘indiscriminately mail bomb[ed] innocents,’ and ‘cross[ed] the line … to terrorist, the worst thing a person can be.'”<br /><br />The judge admits that a “defendant’s own characterization of his conduct is of course not dispositive,” but apparently dispositive enough to ignore his actual crime, his writings about the crime and the mob of leftist supporters outside, and drop first-degree murder charges.<br /><br />Under second degree murder charges, Luigi Mangione will be eligible for parole.<br /><br />Federal charges will likely preclude him ever seeing daylight again, but it’s hard to say.<br /><br />What is more apparent is that the radicals in their green ‘L’ caps were only the tip of an iceberg when it came to support for the leftist assassin within the leftist political system. New York’s truly powerful leftists didn’t put on costumes or wave signs, they just abused the system to aid Luigi.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Today, we begin a new chapter as we welcome Shabana Mahmood to the Home Office as the new Home Secretary,” the British government announced.<br /><br />It is indeed a new chapter for the Pakistani Muslim politician, who took her oath of office on a Koran and who has now become the highest ranking Muslim in the British government.<br /><br />And a new chapter for Islamic colonialism as seeing the white flag, 1,000 Muslim invaders crossed the Channel and invaded England on Mahmood’s first day at work.<br /><br />But it’s also a new chapter for the people of England as a Pakistani Muslim woman who has made no secret of her hatred and contempt for them will now be empowered to persecute them using not only her control over immigration to displace them, but also her new arsenal of ‘public safety’, ‘national security’ and ‘law enforcement’ power to escalate her targeting of them.<br /><br />What sort of chapter it is can be understood from Mahmood’s past declaration<a href="https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra/status/1964619453389590711"> that</a> “the people you see holding the English flag most of the time down my neck of the woods will be the EDL and they are white and they are male and they’re bad people.”<br /><br />The Home Secretary is responsible for law enforcement. These “white men” will be the ones she comes after. Mahmood had previously proposed banning offenders from ‘pubs’ instead of arresting them. This new twist on the Starmer regime’s infamous two-tier policing would punish Englishmen while giving Muslims a pass. And implement Islamic Sharia law in the bargain.<br /><br />Mahmood had urged adopting the definition of Islamophobia manufactured by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims. That definition would ban anyone from mentioning that Mohammed,<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/islamophobia-is-the-cover-up-for-the-crime/"> the prophet of Islam</a>, was a pedophile, referencing “Muslims spreading Islam by the sword or subjugating minority groups under their rule” and claimed that discussing the “issue of ‘grooming gangs’ which was a dangerous “trope” that increased the “vulnerability of Muslims to hate crimes”.<br /><br />After a <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/dead-girls-islamic-terror-and-government-crackdown/">Muslim terrorist murdered</a> three little girls, Mahmood, in her role as ‘Justice Secretary’ cheered as 500 prison cells described as “inhumane” were prepared for protesters against Islamic colonization and terrorism. Criminals were released to make room for those who had spoken out against the horrifying Islamic atrocity against English children.<br /><br />Mahmood then visited a mosque and bragged of sending protesters against the Muslim murder of children to prison for years “within a week” and of show trials “broadcast” live and of “working through day and night” to find prison cells for political opponents.<br /><br />While Shabana Mahmood deemed English people terrorists, actual Muslim terrorists were another matter entirely.<br /><br />Mahmood had previously taken part in a Muslim Council of Britain event against ‘Islamophobia’. The Islamist organization had opposed a ban on Al Qaeda because it believed terroism was a way for some people to “claim their rights”, its founder had mused that “death is perhaps too easy” for Salman Rushdie and the MCB’s secretary general had signed a declaration demanding that all Muslims provide money to Hamas and called for war against all countries supporting Israel.<br /><br />Now that Shabana Mahmood will preside over counterterrorism, an ally of the organization that labored for Al Qaeda and Hamas, what happens to the national security of the UK?<br /><br />And can the United States trust any counterterrorism that falls into her hands?<br /><br />Mahmood is taking part in her first ‘Five Eyes’ meeting, making it abundantly clear that global counterterrorism has been hopelessly compromised and lives will likely be lost because of it. And counterterrorism in the UK will be further twisted to enable Islamic terrorism and punish all those who oppose it.<br /><br />In her first remarks, Mahmood, a Pakistani Muslim, visited Mark Rowley: the head of London’s Met Police which had<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/uk-anti-israel-activist-arrested-for-islamophobia-for-protesting-hamas-murder-of-muslims/"> arrested a man</a> for criticizing Hamas, threatened a Jewish man near a terrorist rally that he would be arrested for being “visibly Jewish” (a policy Rowley subsequently defended) and arrested those correctly naming a Muslim terrorist as such while giving numerous Muslim terrorist supporters a pass.<br /><br />“Supporting Palestine and supporting a proscribed terrorist group are not the same thing,” Shabana Mahmood tweeted after her meeting, making the laundering of support for Hamas into the takeaway of her initial meeting with the police commissioner.<br /><br />A decade ago, Mahmood had appeared at an anti-Israel rally at which one of the speakers had declared, “It is Israel that are the terrorists here, not Hamas. It’s not a sin to fight for your freedom.”<br /><br />The Pakistani Muslim politician had a history of attending anti-Israel and pro-terrorist rallies including a rally outside a Sainsbury supermarket protesting its sale of Israeli products and could be seen holding a “Free Palestine” sign calling for the destruction of Israel.<br /><br />Now she has secured one of the most powerful positions in the UK and Europe.<br /><br />“Islam, my own religion, like a lot of practicing Muslims my faith is the most important thing in my life. It is the absolute driver of everything that I do,” Shabana Mahmood once admitted.<br /><br />Now Mahmood’s religion is also the “absolute driver” of the British government.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

When combined with the 19% who say violence is rarely, but sometimes, acceptable, that’s over 23,000 college students who were willing to answer that using violence against speakers they disliked was a valid option.<br /><br />Projecting and generalizing this large sample size to the much larger number of 18 million of college students across the country would translate into support for violently shutting down campus speakers by between 2.7 million and 6.1 million college students.<br /><br />Another 54% or more than half, support blocking students from attending campus speeches they oppose, and 71% back shouting down speakers.<br /><br />A majority of college students not only oppose free speech, but support intervening to stop it.<br /><br />What kind of views do they support shutting down by any means necessary? 74% believe speakers who view transgenderism as a mental illness should 60% believe in blocking abortion opponents. 76% believe in banning anyone who says BLM is a hate group.<br /><br />Charlie Kirk believed all of these things and was willing to come to campus and say it, challenging students to come and debate him, until the debate was ended finally and fatally.<br /><br />He’s dead because 1 in 3 students support using violence to silence opposing speakers.<br /><br />His killing though was not some aberration. It was not, no matter how much the media will try to portray it, the equivalent of John Hinckley shooting Reagan. One killing anywhere can be an aberration but generations of violence incubated by professors and deans on campus, some of whom openly admire terrorists and urge students to imitate them, is not random chance.<br /><br />It’s a culture of terrorism that is now approaching its murderous apex.<br /><br />A generation before Kirk’s murder, conservative speakers were already learning to avoid campuses. When David Horowitz toured college campuses, he faced harassment, threats, and attacks, forcing him to invest in expensive security. By the time a new generation of speakers like Ben Shapiro were coming to campuses, security expenses had skyrocketed and colleges routinely used the threat of violence by their own students to shut down conservative events.<br /><br />The media attacked Horowitz, Kirk and other campus speakers as ‘provocateurs’ as if they were the ones bringing the violence to campus, rather than exposing the readiness of all too many college students to turn to violence in order to stop them from being heard by other students.<br /><br />Ignoring this state of affairs led to a wave of assaults against faculty, not only conservatives, but liberals who dissented in some way from political dogma. And deans stood by and said nothing as college campuses became not only a political monoculture, but a radicalized one where professors were prevented from teaching their classes if they were targeted by leftists.<br /><br />The next stage of campus radicalization were the Hamas encampments after Oct 7.<br /><br />Now the assassination of Charlie Kirk is the next stage as campuses have grimly followed the course that they began during the counterculture movement a few generations ago as organizing centers, staging grounds and finally front lines in the leftist war on America.<br /><br />Some have said that President Trump has been too hard on campuses like Harvard, Columbia and UCLA after the Hamas encampments. The sad truth is that he hasn’t been hard enough.<br /><br />College campuses have become terrorist training camps and should be treated like them.<br /><br />During the Civil Rights movement, certain parts of the country were treated as dangerous hateful places whose authorities were suspect and which required extensive monitoring. Unfortunately the parts of the country, college campuses, that needed that treatment, didn’t get it, resulting in a wave of violence, extremism and domestic terrorism that has become a multigenerational legacy as that generation of radicals has taught generations more.<br /><br />After Charlie Kirk’s murder, it must end.<br /><br />Colleges must be ‘deradicalized’ the way that Germany was ‘denazified’. There can be no more room for faculty or students who preach violence. And the militant defenses of even foreign nationals who rallied for Islamic terrorists on college campuses by universities, by the media and by top Democrats show how terrorism goes from the top down through the movement.<br /><br />American taxpayers remain the primary funders of the college system. Mostly involuntarily. They’re funding a system that has failed, by every objective metric, at its stated goal of education, but succeeded brilliantly at its actual goal of radicalization and indoctrination.<br /><br />The radicals who poisoned every soft science moved on to fatally taint any cultural field and have lately been rampaging through the sciences. The assaults on conservative speakers, beginning with David Horowitz, and climaxing in Charlie Kirk’s murder, show that this is not just politics, it’s terrorism and unless we deal with the campus, we will be dealing with a civil war.<br /><br />The 2026 Free Speech Rankings show that it may already be too late for American academia.<br /><br />But these may be the final years in which something may be salvaged from the cultural wreck before we really have to start treating Ivy League campuses like Jihadi camps in Afghanistan.<br /><br />The radicals in control of college campuses have escalated from targeted harassment to terrorist encampments to murder. And worst of all, the majority of college students have been indoctrinated into supporting these crimes. If that is what the multi-trillion dollar edifice of higher education gets us, then as a country we may be better off without it.<br /><br />In 1910, there were only 332,000 college students in the whole country. By 1931 there were a million, by the 1950s there were 2.5 million, by 1970 there were 8.5 million, by 1984 there were 12.5 million and we now approach 20 million. The question is are we better off for it?<br /><br />The college boom was driven by the conviction that the bright shiny future required a top-ranked class of experts who could figure out everything for us. But instead college has become an elite overproduction factory churning out mediocre paper fillers even as the science and tech talent is increasingly coming from Asia.<br /><br />Higher education is bad enough as a great ripoff that has saddled a generation of parents and children with endless debt, but worst of all, it’s become a training ground for tomorrow’s terrorists. Instead of treating colleges as the bright promise of tomorrow, treat them like the terrorist training camps they’ve become. End the violence and hold them accountable.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Anyone paying attention to this seemingly minor statistic could have predicted the emergence of Zohran Mamdani as the Democrat nominee in the upcoming mayoral election.<br /><br />Mohammed had appeared as the sixth most common baby among ‘Asians’ in New York City in 2013. By 2017, the name of the genocidal warlord of Islam had become the most common baby name among ‘Asians’ in the city. The rapid growth showed the power of demographics.<br /><br />Nearly 300 Mohammeds (under various spellings) were born in New York City in 2021 accompanied by over 150 Ahmeds, and dozens of Alis, Omars, Adnans and many others.<br /><br />The Muslim population of New York City is still undetermined. While Islamist groups claim that there are over 1 million Muslims, they tend to exaggerate to build up their influence, but a Pew survey estimated Muslim settlers as making up 3% of the population of New York City.<br /><br />Mamdani only won the votes of<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/most-new-yorkers-didnt-vote-for-mamdani/"> 5% of the population</a> of New York City. That’s within 2% of the estimated Muslim population of the city. Whatever the actual size of the Muslim population of the city may be, it was more than enough to make the difference in a mayoral primary that few New Yorkers bothered to vote in because they found all the candidates repugnant even while mosques successfully turned out the bloc vote to rig an election for their candidate.<br /><br />Mamdani was not a popular candidate, but he toured the city’s mosques and told the members of one Hamas-supporting mosque that this is “an opportunity — to tell the world that Muslims don’t just belong in New York City but that we belong in City Hall.”<br /><br />That message, delivered in a mosque, combined tribal nationalism and Islamism.<br /><br />How many mosques are there in the city? There were 285 in 2015. Some current estimates place the number at over 500 now. While Islamist groups do build mosques that they don’t need and can’t fill in order to build up influence with projects like the Ground Zero Mosque and other mosques in Manhattan (which unlike Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, does not have a significant Muslim population below 125th Street) they reflect a growing Muslim population.<br /><br />The vast majority of that growth happened after 9/11. The old Arab Muslim population which cheered on the rooftops after the September 11 attacks and was responsible for pre 9/11 terrorist attacks like the World Trade Center bombing mainly lived in New Jersey and parts of Brooklyn are a minority now with the massive influx of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and other Muslims from the vicinity of India colonizing the city.<br /><br />One of the most important things to understand about Zohran Mamdani is that he isn’t just a Muslim, but he’s an Indian Muslim. His rise reflects the growing numbers of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Indian Muslims who have taken over entire neighborhoods in the city.<br /><br />There are an estimated 100,000 Bangladeshis occupying parts of New York City. From around 35,000 in 2010, the colonizing population rapidly increased, taking over parts of Queens, once home to middle class Greek, Italian and Jewish populations, but now Mamdani territory.<br /><br />The Queens district that Mamdani used as a springboard to seize power in New York had formerly been held by Aravella Simotas, a fairly typical representative of the next generation of old school Democrats, before being ousted by Mamdani using Muslim bloc votes.<br /><br />On paper, both Simotas, a child of a Greek-American family who had lived in Africa, and Mamdani, the son of Indian Muslims also out of Africa, were both young ‘progressive’ Democrats who had all the right left-wing positions. Mamdani was backed by the Democratic Socialists of America while Simotas was backed by the Queens Democratic Party.<br /><br />There was virtually no difference between their actual positions forcing Mamdani to adopt increasingly insane leftist positions that are now coming back to haunt him to stand out..<br /><br />“I’ve worked with Aravella, and I’m not quite sure how you could be more left-leaning than she is,” a councilwoman said.<br /><br />Simotas had lived her whole life in Queens while Mamdani, who had been living in Manhattan, wasn’t even from Queens but had moved there for the election. Why Queens? According to Mamdani, he moved to the area because he liked the Muslim population already there.<br /><br />Mamdani had moved into Queens to run in a Muslim district against a fellow leftist Dem.<br /><br />The 2020 Democrat primary came down to a narrow victory for Mamdani at 51.20% over 48.62% by a margin of around 400 votes. That began Mamdani’s career in politics.<br /><br />Mamdani’s victory was part of a larger pattern.<br /><br />Even while Mamdani used Muslim votes to seize control of District 36, ‘Mary’ Jobaida, a Bangladeshi Muslim immigrant, tried to take control of Assembly District 37 also in Queens. Jobaida, like Mamdani, ran on a hard left social justice platform, but still lost. She now wants to run for Mamdani’s seat if he takes over City Hall.<br /><br />In Assembly District 24, David Weprin, who is Jewish, has been the target of repeated Muslim candidates running on leftist platforms including Misbaah Mahmood, Mahfuzul Islam and Mahtab Khan: an anti-Israel Islamic activist running on the slogan “Tax the Rich”.<br /><br />Mamdani’s rise reflects a larger Islamic campaign in President Trump and David Horowitz’s former neighborhood.<br /><br />In 2019, I warned that <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/queensistan-big-islamic-terror-problem-trumps-old-daniel-greenfield/">Queens was becoming ‘Queensistan”</a> after describing the rise of Islamic terrorism and colonization in the borough. “Grand Central Parkway, where Awais Chudhary, the latest Islamic terrorist operating out of Queens, planned to drop bombs on passing cars, passes a few blocks from President Trump’s childhood home. There are 5 Islamic centers within a little over a mile of where Trump had grown up.” Now Queenistan has given us Mamdani.<br /><br />And that’s not the end. Mamdani is a symptom of a larger crisis. Demographics is destiny and Muslim mass migration is proving a much greater threat to New York City than hijacked airplanes.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

That’s followed by the sounds of the terrorists assaulting a passenger.</p>“Please don’t hurt me,” he pleads. “Oh God.”<br /><br />As the passengers rush the cabin, a Muslim terrorist proclaims, “In the name of Allah.”<br /><br />As New York firefighters struggle up the South Tower with 100 pounds of equipment on their backs trying to save lives until the very last moment, the Flight 93 passengers push toward the cockpit. The Islamic hijackers call out, “Allahu Akbar.”<div><br /></div><div>Mohammed Atta had advised his fellow terrorists that when the fighting begins, “Shout, 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.” He quoted the Koran’s command that Muslim holy warriors terrorize non-believers by beheading them and urged them to follow Mohammed’s approach, “Take prisoners and kill them.”<br /><br />The 9/11 ringleader quoted the Koran again. “No prophet should have prisoners until he has soaked the land with blood.”<br /><br />On Flight 93, the fighting goes on. “Oh Allah. Oh the most Gracious,” the Islamic terrorists cry out. “Trust in Allah,” they reassure. And then there are only the chants of, “Allahu Akbar” as the plane goes down in a Pennsylvania field leaving behind another blood-soaked territory in the Islamic invasion of America.<br /><br />Today that field is marked by the “Crescent of Embrace” memorial.<br /><br />Thousands of Muslims cheered the attack in those parts of Israel under the control of the Islamic terrorists of the Palestinian Authority. They shouted, “Allahu Akbar” and handed out candy.</div><div><br /></div><div>But similar ugly outbreaks of Islamic Supremacism were also taking place much closer to home.<br /><br />On John F. Kennedy Boulevard, in Jersey City, across the river from Manhattan, crowds of Muslim settlers celebrated the slaughter of Americans. "Some men were dancing, some held kids on their shoulders," a retired Jersey City cop described the scene. "The women were shouting in Arabic."<br /><br />Similar Islamic festivities broke out on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a major Islamic settlement area, even as in downtown Manhattan, ash had turned nearby streets into the semblance of a nuclear war. Men and women trudged over Brooklyn Bridge or uptown to get away from this strange new world.</div><div><br /></div><div>At Union Square, I passed NYU students painting anti-war placards even as the downtown sky behind them was painted the color of bone. They ignored the crowd streaming up past them and focused intently on making all the red letters in NO WAR line up neatly on the white cardboard.<br /><br />In the years since, I have seen that look on the faces of countless leftists who ignore the stabbers shouting, “Allahu Akbar” in London or the terrorist declaring, "In the name of Allah, the merciful," among the bloody ruin of a gay nightclub in Orlando. Instead they focus on their mindless slogans.<br /><br />“NO WAR,” “Stop Islamophobia” and “Refugees Welcome.” The world of the cardboard sign and the simple slogan is an easier and neater one than a sky filled with the ashes of the dead.<br /><br />On September 11, some of us opened our eyes. Others closed them as hard as they could.</div><div><br /></div><div>The passengers on Flight 93 who took the lead were in their thirties. But the two firefighters who made it to the 78th floor of the South Tower, Ronald Bucca, who did duty in Vietnam as a Green Beret, and Orio Palmer, a marathon runner, were in their forties. Those men and women had the most meaningful answers to the old question, “Where were you when it happened?”</div><div><br /></div><div>The great lesson of that Tuesday morning was that it wasn’t over. It wasn’t over when we understood that we wouldn’t find anyone alive in that twisted mass of metal and death. It wasn’t over when the air began to clear. It wasn’t over when the President of the United States spoke. It wasn’t over when the planes began to fly again and the TV switched from non-stop coverage of the attacks and back to its regularly scheduled programming. It wasn’t over when we were told to mourn and move on.<br /><br />It still isn’t over.<br /><br />After every attack, Boston, Orlando, San Bernardino, New York, Paris, Manchester, London, Jerusalem, we are encouraged to mourn and move on. Bury the bodies, shed a tear and forget about it.<br /><br />Terrible things happen. And we have to learn to accept them.<br /><br />But Tuesday morning was not a random catastrophe. It did not go away because we went back to shopping. It did not go away with Hope and Change. Appeasing and forgetting only made it stronger.</div><div><br /></div><div>“Where were you?” is not just a question to be asked about September 11, 2001. It is an everyday question. What are you doing today to fight the Islamic terrorists who did this? And tomorrow?</div><div><br /></div><div>Our enemies wake up every day wondering how to destroy us. Their methods, from demographic invasion to WMDs, from political subversion to random stabbings, are many.<br /><br />A new and terrible era in history began on 9/11. We are no more past it than we were past Pearl Harbor at the Battle of Midway. Its origins are no mystery. They lie in the last sound that came from Flight 93.<br /><br />“Allahu Akbar.”<br /><br />We are in the middle of the longest war in American history. And we still haven’t learned how to fight it.</div><div><br /></div><div>September 11 has come around again. You don’t have to run into a burning building or wrestle terrorists with your bare hands. But use the day to warn others, so you can answer, “Where were you?”</div></content><link href="http://www.danielgreenfield.org/feeds/6963890724145433734/comments/default" rel="replies" title="Post Comments" type="application/atom+xml"/><link href="http://www.danielgreenfield.org/2025/09/its-not-over.html#comment-form" rel="replies" title="9 Comments" type="text/html"/><link href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11368628/posts/default/6963890724145433734" rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml"/><link href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11368628/posts/default/6963890724145433734" rel="self" type="application/atom+xml"/><link href="http://www.danielgreenfield.org/2025/09/its-not-over.html" rel="alternate" title="It's Not Over" type="text/html"/><author><name>Daniel Greenfield</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13575285186581875356</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image height="32" rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" src="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRhRSvmnQijYr-BAX6Dhyjov7iV0exSO5_GeAmrS9KrDfyKL3VSV3Un-5pZhpzro8iWIUneqiL4ANYnGEUoTL0vy8NsLmlYYh-OMLsfNWslVjJgEd_c4FeGGK5dq-f2R63PGJTSDp-d1bMHg9mFKJEaV6Dfl20ZBX9rGmaVz8MlOTuPQ/s220/headshot%20bw4.jpg" width="30"/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdthZA5A84pv8ZBzhPtEi63Ym_TUtdEEeLKdoied-vWQ3SdF15ef0Tf3YVhzzq5eluQVXILxt3xpe6PwmFzYcCdh4GWzSY8FsaUlIJXiSNwoyJQylL59kHkxuSuZG5vJ_NPf7Ene420orfQPLuYZQCn5mr0uN2-A6VshmJsjnhLReS3bbNkSDgbg/s72-w640-h394-c/image_2024-09-11_092612309.png" width="72"/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-8822909994241686063</id><published>2025-09-08T22:07:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2025-09-08T22:07:29.790-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="recent"/><title type="text">How a Rich Kid Politician Was Spun as a Working Class 'Oysterman'</title><content type="html"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr-pKHeV_jPqvDTU6nAHNjZTeZS8qr2jgGH0r_ONZ2IR6ixhylVXscz-faTrh6FEm7LtN8uefNP1gY_98r-VzwPu64O1Mz7EaMRR8tuZ__Zi6GwoewRQKa6XJvfTiORwiu0QS8foKpybU6_oxJyeeXjqume-XCw20GEHoAyOitBbAVrpNUKHof-Q/s928/platner%20frame.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="666" data-original-width="928" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr-pKHeV_jPqvDTU6nAHNjZTeZS8qr2jgGH0r_ONZ2IR6ixhylVXscz-faTrh6FEm7LtN8uefNP1gY_98r-VzwPu64O1Mz7EaMRR8tuZ__Zi6GwoewRQKa6XJvfTiORwiu0QS8foKpybU6_oxJyeeXjqume-XCw20GEHoAyOitBbAVrpNUKHof-Q/w640-h460/platner%20frame.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> There is the Graham Platner that the media wants you to see: Maine oysterman, veteran and gun owner, a working class type who could easily be MAGA, but is running as a Democrat.<br /><br />Then there’s the real Graham Platner, son of a prominent local attorney, grandson of a major modernist architect, whose business was funded by a nonprofit grant meant for black people.<br /><br />And by his mother who owns multiple businesses.<br /><br />While he’s been billed as an outsider candidate with no interest in professional politics, he’s actually the activist son of a council candidate and the husband of a town selectwoman, as well as a local official whom the media had regularly turned to for quotes since at least 2009.<br /><br />Media write-ups about the Maine Senate candidate’s oyster business typically mention that he grew up in the area leading to the impression that he came from a working-class family from some of the traditional trades, but nothing could be further from the truth about the Platners.<br /><br />Graham Platner attended the prestigious John Bapst Memorial High School, a college prep school (current tuition: $12,500) and came from a wealthy and prominent local family. At school the leftist activist was described as “most likely to start a revolution” in his yearbook while holding a ‘Free Palestine’ sign which based on speeches still appears to be his biggest issue.<br /><br />Platner claims that “everyone knows we live in a system that is not built to represent working-class people.” How would he know? He was never a member of the working class.<br /><br />Bronson Platner, Graham’s father, was not an ‘oysterman’, he was a lawyer, including for a local town, who was reprimanded for <a href="https://www.mebaroverseers.org/dah_schedule/decisions.html?id=88934">professional misconduct</a>, and a former assistant DA. Platner’s father was a major donor to Democrats, including Barack Obama, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, donating thousands to the Vermont socialist who would later endorse his son, and Bronson eventually made a failed run for city council in the town of Ellsworth.<br /><br />One of Bronson’s positions was in favor of painting a crosswalk in LGBTQ rainbow colors.<br /><br />Bronson Platner had donated over $50,000 to Democrats over the years. This is not the kind of money that a working class family or even a regular lawyer spends on politics as a hobby.<br /><br />Graham’s grandfather, Warren Platner, was a prominent modernist architect who had worked with I.M. Pei and had designed dorms at Yale and part of Manhattan’s Lincoln Theater. Graham’s aunt is the director of child care at the Yale New Haven Hospital. It’s the kind of family that the New York Times and other media outlets would normally love to write about.<br /><br />But instead the media ignores Platner’s wealthy Connecticut society roots, his time at George Washington University and portrays him as a hard-working local oysterman.<br /><br />A month before Platner announced his candidacy, the New York Times stopped by and took a boat tour with him accompanied by photographs of the future Senate candidate in his usual working class drag, gimme cap and t-shirt, harvesting and shucking oysters. Those pictures were then reused for the Times profile on his Senate campaign (a privilege most local candidates don’t get) leaving readers with the impression it’s a one-man operation.<br /><br />(Tourism at $95 a person appears to form a significant part of Platner’s business.)<br /><br />Graham Platner’s takeover of an existing oyster business was actually funded by a $20,000 grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, a Greek billionaire’s nonprofit, and by his mother, Leslie Harlow, a local businesswoman who owns two restaurants and a gift shop in the area.<br /><br />“His best customer happens to be his mom,” one description put it. “The fact that I get to have a personal and business relationship with my mom, the fact that my mom has a restaurant that I get to sell my products at, it’s really quite wonderful,” Graham Platner said in a video profile.<br /><br />The Niarchos Foundation grant that helped finance Graham Platner’s business was supposed to be for small businesses owned by “underserved groups” without “access to capital” like “people of color, women, and veterans as well as those in lower-income communities”.<br /><br />While Platner was a veteran, he came from a wealthy family and his business was not recovering from the pandemic. The progressive maxed out the $20,000 grant and took money that the Niachos Foundation had intended should go to <a href="https://www.snf.org/en/news-stories/news/announcements/snf-small-business-growth-recovery-fund-launched-by-the-national-community-reinvestment-coalition-and-snf/">help black people</a> to build his business.<br /><br />As a profile politely put it, “with a built-in support system of friends and family in the hospitality industry, Platner bought a boat and began the process of expanding.” It’s unclear who else besides his mother was working in the “hospitality industry”, but it appears that Platner’s business was built on friends and family. And a grant he should never have gotten.<br /><br />Finally the media narrative about Graham Platner is that he’s an outsider candidate with no interest in professional politics. Platner is actually the son of a political candidate and his wife Amy Gertner was on the Select Board of the town of Hope. And Graham is a local official.<br /><br />Platner is not an outsider. He’s a ‘progressive’ leftist activist from a family of them.<br /><br />His Senate campaign tweeted a high school yearbook picture of him holding up a sign reading “Free Palestine” above the headline “Most likely to start a revolution”. Unlikely behavior for a working class family, but quite in keeping with the scion of a wealthy and progressive family.<br /><br />During his campaign, Graham Platner claims that he left the military because he became disillusioned with the war. “I left the Army in 2012 pretty cynical. I’d become pretty disgusted with American foreign policy. Pretty disgusted with the wars.” he claimed in an interview.<br /><br />But there was nothing to be “disillusioned” by because Graham never supported the war.<br /><br />As a teenager, Graham Platner had taken part in anti-war rallies during the Iraq War. He didn’t join the military because he believed in the cause, but as he admitted, “I wanted to be a soldier since I was two years old…at 19, I was also a young man drawn to an adventure – and serving overseas was the ultimate adventure.”<br /><br />Was Platner really so disillusioned and cynical about the military in 2012? Then why does a $1,000 donation to a Democrat in 2018 list his employer as one of the incarnations of Blackwater? In an interview, Planter was described as having felt a conveniently “renewed call to service” in 2018 that led him to work in Afghanistan as a security contractor.<br /><br />If you believe Graham Platner, he joined a war he didn’t believe in, then he dropped out because he didn’t believe in it, then he decided to believe in it some more, and then stopped believing in it a few years later, and now he’s running against a war that he switched between being for and against so many times that it would have given John Kerry whiplash.<br /><br />The most curious thing by far about Platner though is how much interest the media had in him, not just now when he announced his candidacy, but going back as far as the oughts.<br /><br />Quotes by Graham Platner appear in media stories, not local ones, but in national papers like the Washington Post going back to 2009. One or two might be coincidence, but whenever the media needed to quote an Iraq War veteran, it turned to a seemingly obscure man from Maine.<br /><br />In 2016, for example, the Washington Post looked to Platner to condemn Trump for not really caring about veterans. “Graham Platner, a Marine who fought in the battle of Ramadi, thinks that Trump is playing the part of ‘patriotic culture warrior’ and thinks that Trump’s ‘knee-jerk patriotism’ plays directly to his base.” That’s something Platner may know a lot about.<br /><br />Past the gimme cap and the oysterman costume is the shiftless radical son of a wealthy family who joined the military for adventure, spent years at George Washington University on the taxpayer dime without emerging with any obvious employable profession (a Washington Post story from 2009 describes him taking an ‘art history’ class) and then had his mother, friends and family set him up with an existing oyster farm that he then used to conduct tours for tourists.<br /><br />And sell oysters to his mother’s restaurants.<br /><br />It’s a less ‘Made for MAGA’ profile than the veteran oysterman grumbling about wasted lives in Iraq that is part of the Senate candidate’s current brand. Truer still is the wealthy prep school kid who held up a ‘Free Palestine’ sign in his yearbook still running against Israel’s war on Hamas which make up a significant part of his ad binge and gave him the nickname ‘Maine Mamdani’.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

The Taliban are claiming 800 dead and thousands injured. The Europeans and other countries are promising to send aid.<br /><br />And the United States of America should refuse to join them.<br /><br />Casualty numbers coming out of the Taliban are as worthless as those coming from Hamas in Gaza or the Houthis in Yemen. Terrorists always lie, trying to make us feel sorry and guilty, just before they try to kill us. And the nonprofits, including the UN, that work in those areas are rotten with terrorists and their useful idiots, and should never be believed about anything.<br /><br />But even if half of Afghanistan were dead or dying, we should not send a single penny because none of the aid will go to earthquake victims, no more than the food sent to Gaza or Yemen went to regular people, it will go to the terrorists who use it to fund their Islamic terror state.<br /><br />And a generation after 9/11, the Taliban are not only back in power, but they are harboring Al Qaeda and any money we send can be used to harbor the terrorists who continue to kill us.<br /><br />The latest SIGAR (Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction) r<a href="https://www.sigar.mil/Portals/147/Files/Reports/lessons-learned/SIGAR-25-29-LL.pdf">eport documented </a>that the Taliban, like Islamic terrorists everywhere, divert aid, tax nonprofits, force them to hire their own terrorists as employees and use the aid we send as an asset.<br /><br />The Taliban don’t care about their own people, that’s why they used them as human shields when fighting us, it’s why they use them as human shields now because they know we care. The sight of a crying child in Afghanistan, Yemen, Gaza or anywhere in the world touches us.<br /><br />But to our enemies, it’s just another weapon.<br /><br />Our efforts to rebuild Afghanistan paradoxically financed the Taliban’s comeback. The more we tried to send food, open schools and build wells, the more money flowed to the Taliban. While our idiot politicians and generals insisted that we could “win the hearts and minds” of the Afghans by showering them with aid, the Taliban took that aid and bought themselves an army.<br /><br />We tried to “win hearts and minds”. The Taliban won the war. And got all the bodies.<br /><br />After Afghanistan fell, we should have learned a lesson, but as Freedom Center Investigates documented, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/biden-admin-sent-2-billion-to-afghanistan-since-taliban-takeover/">sent $3.7 billion to Afghanistan</a> after <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/usaid-sent-over-18-billion-to-islamic-terror-states/">the takeover.</a><br /><br />Biden<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/3-5b-from-9-11-victims-being-held-by-u-s-for-the-taliban/"> stole money from 9/11 victims</a> for the Taliban, he <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/biden-prints-money-for-the-taliban/">arranged to print currency </a>for the Taliban, <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/biden-paying-osama-bin-ladens-old-airline-fly-out-daniel-greenfield/">booked seats</a> on Osama’s old airline and enabled the<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/usaids-taliban-money-laundering-scheme/"> shipment of billions</a> in<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/millions-in-hundred-dollar-bills-flown-to-the-taliban-for-humanitarian-aid/"> hundred dollar bills</a> via the United Nations. No Saudi billionaire was half as clever at financing Islamic terrorists as the Obama and the Biden administrations were at abusing taxpayer money.<br /><br />Since Trump took office, the Taliban have been struggling. They were even desperate enough to go to <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/taliban-blame-afghanistans-problems-on-global-warming/">a global warming conference </a>to ask for money. The earthquake may be catastrophic for the ordinary Afghans affected by it, but it’s a blessing for the Taliban who will now be able to cash in on aid from the European Union, Japan and anyone stupid enough to send help.<br /><br />America is the motherlode. Our politicians dispense foreign aid on a scale no one else can. We were the gushing well that the UN and dozens of ‘humanitarian groups’ used as the pipeline to aid terrorists worldwide. President Trump and DOGE began putting a stop to it. And that’s good.<br /><br />Sending aid to enemy nations doesn’t help: it makes things much worse every single time.<br /><br />When the Communists took over the Soviet Union and a famine broke out, they might have lost power, but the United States organized a massive famine relief effort, which, at least under Hoover was intended to keep Communists out of the loop, but under FDR no longer did, and the result was that the Communists remained in power for generations leading to millions dead and a Cold War that might have climaxed in a nuclear war that could have destroyed America.<br /><br />After Mao’s Great Famine in China, it was Canada’s turn to bail out the Communist dictatorship with massive shipments of wheat even as the PRC was sending its ‘foreign aid’ to Cuba. The end result was that the People’s Republic of China survived, industrialized and became a grave threat to the free world. That may yet lead to a devastating world war or the fall of the West.<br /><br />Our insistence on aiding the Muslim world made it wealthy enough to finance terrorism and spread the influence of its violent and hateful doctrines to our own nations and cities. After a generation of failed foreign policy operations in which we could literally track how our aid went into the hands of terrorists, there are plenty of politicians and professional humanitarians who are already demanding that we send aid to Afghanistan because surely it will be different now.<br /><br />These claims are accompanied by outright lies, long since disproven, that the aid doesn’t go to terrorists or benefit terrorists, and that by sending aid we can liberalize the Taliban or undermine their rule. All of this is absolutely false. SIGAR and journalists, including those at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, have long since documented how the Taliban appropriates aid.<br /><br />Sending aid will not ‘liberalize’ the Taliban. The Taliban initially pretended to be more moderate in the hopes of extracting more aid from us. When they saw that it wasn’t coming, they stopped pretending and began publicly lashing women, but we should not confuse this deception with any meaningful change in the nature of the Islamic supremacist regime that runs Afghanistan.<br /><br />The Taliban tell us what they think will make us give them money. It doesn’t reflect either their actual nature or the reality on the ground. What we know about Afghanistan comes from the Taliban and from employees of ‘humanitarian groups’ who are also members of the Taliban.<br /><br />These ‘UN Taliban’ brief western supervisors who then relay this information in quotes to the media. This method of whitewashing terrorist propaganda is also routinely used in Gaza. By putting westerners, especially women, from groups like the UN or the Red Cross out front, viewers believe that they’re relaying their own experiences, when in reality they’re usually nowhere near the affected areas, they’re closely supervised by the terrorists when they do travel, and they are handfed reports by their ‘employees’ who actually work for the Taliban.<br /><br />Finally, sending aid will not only not undermine Taliban rule, it will secure it because the Islamic supremacist regime will use that aid to help its own supporters, and to bribe clans and groups into supporting it. The Communist regimes in Russia and China pretended that the western food was actually coming from their own agricultural projects and proved the power of Communism.<br /><br />We did not discredit Communism by providing aid to Communists and we won’t discredit Islam by providing aid to Islamists. If we want to defeat our enemies, one elementary place to start is by not sending them aid no matter how much they whine, wail or guilt trip us. Guilt is the great industry of the postmodern West. It’s also the religion of those with no religions.<br /><br />But sending aid to Afghanistan is not merciful to those living there or to us. Afghanistan’s best hope and our best interest is that the Jihadists running it should fall. The Taliban’s best hope and interest is that we send them ‘humanitarian aid’ that they use to fund their terrorist regime.<br /><br />We tried defeating them with aid, but the best hope of beating them is to end all aid.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

It’s still the only part of the Bronx represented by a Republican councilwoman. But the growth of Little Yemen aims to make it fully Democrat.<br /><br />And the building of the megamosque is backed by <a href="https://islamism.news/research/investigations/rep-ritchie-torres-secures-1-million-of-taxpayers-money-for-october-7th-supporters/">over $1 million</a> in federal taxpayer funding.<br /><br />The Bronx Muslim Center is a<a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/bronx-friday-sermon-christians-cannot-fill-their-churches-regular-people-so-they-are-letting"> source of hate</a> where speakers have mocked Christians, spread antisemitism and supported Hamas. The Bronx megamosque’s social media account<a href="https://islamism.news/research/investigations/rep-ritchie-torres-secures-1-million-of-taxpayers-money-for-october-7th-supporters/"> cheered for “victory</a>” in Gaza with pro-Hamas groups and urged followers to “disrupt” cities in protests for Gaza. A past NYPD intelligence document<a href="https://privacysos.org/sites/all/files/NYPD_racist.pdf"> had warned that</a> “individuals believed to be supporters/members of Hamas may have links to the Bronx Muslim Center”.<br /><br />As <a href="https://islamism.news/research/investigations/rep-ritchie-torres-secures-1-million-of-taxpayers-money-for-october-7th-supporters/">reported last year,</a> Hamud Alsilwi, the imam of the Bronx Muslim Center, praised Hamas founder Ahmad Yassin for “making the Jews sleepless”, backed stoning ‘adulterers’ and posted a message stating that the war “stirs jihad in the souls of Muslims, which terrifies the West.” Akram Omar, a supporter of Zohran Mamdani, of the Bronx Muslim Center <a href="https://islamism.news/research/investigations/rep-ritchie-torres-secures-1-million-of-taxpayers-money-for-october-7th-supporters/">had promoted</a> Hamas propaganda and “reposted praise for the October 7 attacks, featuring video of cheering crowds.” In remarks at the mosque, he declared that Muslims are “willing to die” to defeat Israel.<br /><br />At a rally at the terror mosque, Mamdani had urged that in the election, the congregation had “an opportunity — to tell the world that Muslims don’t just belong in New York City but that we belong in City Hall.”<br /><br />Behind the hate megamosque is the <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/organizations/muslim-american-society-mas/">Muslim American Society.</a> The MAS’s co-founder and documents seized in a raid on a Hamas associate identified the organization as a Muslim Brotherhood operation. MAS admits that the Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwan was behind its founding, while claiming that “many immigrant organizations would likely have had some founders who had some involvement or even membership in the Ikhwan.”<br /><br />The Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwan is the organization behind numerous international Islamic terrorist groups including Al Qaeda and Hamas. Osama bin Laden had first traveled to Pakistan as an envoy of the Muslim Brotherhood. One of Al Qaeda’s founding organizations was a splinter group of the Muslim Brotherhood known as Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Bin Laden’s successor and the thinker behind much of Al Qaeda’s operations came from a Brotherhood family and was inspired by Muslim Brotherhood ideologue Sayyid Qutb to join EIJ.<br /><br />MAS president Esam S. Omeish had been forced to step down after video of a speech in which he declared that, “you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land.”<br /><br />15 years ago, the MAS had been at the epicenter of the plan to build a three story mosque in Sheepshead Bay which had torn apart that Brooklyn community. Around that same time, work also started on the project to build the Bronx ‘megamosque’ to secure control over the area.<br /><br />MAS locations have been sources of disturbing advocacy and training for Islamic terrorism.<br /><br />The Philadelphia chapter of the MAS <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/children-singing-philadelphia-muslim-society-martyred-palestine-soil-fedayeen">posted videos</a> of <a href="https://www.jns.org/muslim-american-society-lied-about-school-in-jihad-video-being-a-separate-entity/">children at an MAS school</a> singing “chop off their heads” and <a href="https://www.memri.org/reports/philadelphia-children-sing-about-girls-women-arming-brave-palestinian-fighters-islamic">vowing to be </a>“<a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/children-philadelphia-palestine-ummah-day-sacrifice-aqsa-chop-off-heads-eternal-torture">martyred</a>” in the Islamic Jihad.<br /><br />Now American taxpayers have been forced to contribute over $1 million to the construction of a megamosque preaching hate, terror and death in a former Republican district. In contrast to the $1,050,000 appropriated for a foreign organization’s mosque that preaches hate and terror, the Word of Life Community Center, which helps the borough’s African-American community received less than half of that as did the roof repair projects of two local libraries.<br /><br />But they matter less than the megamosque.<br /><br />In his 2023 appropriations request for the megamosque, Rep. Ritchie Torres claimed that the money is “an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because the construction of the Bronx Muslim Center will allow the center to increase its social services to the community.” But the Community Development Block Grant under which Rep. Torres applied bars the use of federal funds for any religious activities. And the vast majority of the Center’s activities appear to be religious.<br /><br />The mosque’s fundraising site shows that it was trying to raise $1.5 million (of which it only appears to have raised less than $500,000) after $2 million in previous spending suggesting that the $1 million federal grant actually makes up much of the current funds for the mosque’s construction. The Bronx Muslim Center’s fundraising focuses on the need to find space for 2,000 Muslim settlers to attend services and study Sharia, not aiding non-Muslims. It describes its mission as conveying “Islam with utmost clarity”, not providing social services to the borough.<br /><br />And rather than improving life for non-Muslims in the Bronx, the mosque evicted the residents of two houses to demolish them and make way for their four-floor temple of hate. Even before it’s completed, the megamosque is already making life worse for New Yorkers.<br /><br />The ACLU would be suing if federal funds were going to churches or synagogues, for example, the ACLU sued to block funds from going to the Princeton Theological Seminary and a New Jersey Yeshiva school, it has filed lawsuits in numerous states to block funds from going to Christian institutions, but it has done nothing about the federal funding of mosque construction in New York because in this, as in so many other things, the rules are different for Islam.<br /><br />But the rules shouldn’t be different. And taxpayers shouldn’t be funding terror and hate.<br /><br />American taxpayers are being compelled to fund a megamosque that preaches hate toward Christians and Jews, that supports lawless assaults on businesses, whose leaders cheer on terrorism and whose origins lie in organizations intertwined with Al Qaeda and Hamas.<br /><br />As the 9/11 anniversary approaches, New Yorkers are reminded of who’s really winning the war.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Seidler-Feller had to be pulled off the diminutive woman by “three or four large college men.”<br /><br />Since then, Seidler-Feller has continued signing letters condemning Israel for defending itself.<br /><br />While Seidler-Feller had attended an Orthodox seminary at Yeshiva University in 1971, he stopped being an Orthodox Rabbi a few years later and was not actually ordained until he was later sent an ordination certificate in appreciation for soliciting money from Barbara Streisand.<br /><br />This still makes Seidler-Feller more of an ‘Orthodox rabbi’ than many of the signatories.<br /><br />A quarter of the ‘rabbis’ signing on to the letter, like ‘Rabba Amalia Haas’, the Chief Bee Whisperer of a company that “teaches about climate change through Jewish texts”, Rabba Aliza Libman Baronofsky, Rabbi Dina Najman, Rabba Melissa Scholten-Gutierrez, Rabbi Emily Goldberg Winer, among 20 female ‘Rabbis’ signing on, were never Orthodox rabbis at all.<br /><br />Orthodox Judaism does not ordain or maintain female rabbis as a basic matter of Torah, tradition and law. A significant number of the signatories to the letter are therefore non-Orthodox clergy posing as Orthodox clergy in order to undermine Israel’s fight against terrorism, and to make it appear that there is actual opposition to the fight within the Orthodox community.<br /><br />Who’s actually behind the letter which falsely claims that Israel is responsible for “starvation” and complains that “Israeli extremists” responded to Oct 7 (which was backed by the vast majority of the enemy population) with “blanket suspicion of the entire population of Gaza”?<br /><br />The anti-Israel letter was posted on the website of Torat Chayim, a front group for<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/left-wing-movement-hijack-kosher-food-daniel-greenfield/"> Uri L’Tzedek, a radical leftist spinoff</a> of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, a non-orthodox social justice seminary pretending to be Orthodox which is responsible for ordaining many of the signatories.<br /><br />Uri L’Tzedek was set up by ‘Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz’, a leftist activist who had converted to Judaism, who had previously laid out his vision for “an Orthodox Judaism rooted in social justice” and who has claimed credit for working to produce the anti-Israel letter while claiming that he has concerns about Israel’s “moral compass” and the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza”.<br /><br />Yanklowitz had held study sessions with ‘Rabbi’ Jill Jacobs, the head and member of anti-Israel groups, including J Street’s Rabbinic Cabinet and T’ruah which promotes boycotts of parts of Israel. Some signatories of the anti-Israel letter like ‘Rabbi’ Jonah Winer (He/Him) of T’ruah, are also members of anti-Israel hate groups. (Jonah’s wife, ‘Rabbi’ Emily Goldberg Winer of Beth Sholom is also a signatory.)<br /><br />The anti-Israel letter tears the mask off Uri L’Tzedek which after Oct 7 had pretended to be pro-Israel. The group even fielded a ‘slate’ for the World Zionist Congress under the completely misleading name of Dorshei Torah Ve’Tzion (Seekers of Torah and Zion) which on a field of waving Israeli flags laid out a platform that claimed to include ‘Zionism and Support for Israel’ (alongside “LGBTQ Inclusion” and a call for “security and dignity” for the “Palestinian people”.)<br /><br />The Uri L’Tzedek, Eshel (LGBTQ), JOFA (feminist) and Yeshivat Maharat (a feminist seminary) slate included multiple signatories to the anti-Israel letter including ‘Rabbi’ Aliza Libman Baronofsky, Rabbanit Leah Sarna, Rabbi Max Davis and Rabbi Barry Dolinger.<br /><br />Uri L’Tzedek, like other post-Orthodox groups, claim that it draws support from an underrepresented part of the Orthodox Jewish community, but who’s really funding it?<br /><br />The list of sponsors for Uri L’Tzedek consists of non-Orthodox leftist groups and includes the Nathan Cummings Foundation, tied to the Soros network, and was the funder for a variety of anti-Israel groups including J Street, the Israel Policy Forum and Americans for Peace Now.<br /><br />Other backers include the liberal Koch’s Stand Together Foundation. The Koch libertarian network does not normally back Jewish groups with the exception of anti-Israel ones.<br /><br />Finally, Uri L’Tzedek is funded by one of the most notorious backers of the most extreme anti-Israel groups: <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/puffin-foundations-obsession-communism-revives-war-daniel-greenfield/">the Puffin Foundation</a>. Puffin, which <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/puffin-foundations-obsession-communism-revives-war-daniel-greenfield/">blatantly celebrates Communism</a> as an ideal, funds Jewish Currents, a spinoff of the old Communist Party’s Yiddish paper, which accused Israel of “genocide” and described Hamas atrocities as “resistance”.<br /><br />Simone Zimmerman, a former employee of Uri L’Tzedek and a founder of the anti-Israel hate group If Not Now, wrote in the publication, calling for a communal endorsement of BDS and declaring that “Jewish communities should ask themselves ‘What would you have done to stop the annihilation of the Jews of Europe?’ and should do just that for Palestinians now. You are either for genocide or against it.”<br /><br />Uri L’Tzedek vet Zimmerman had described immigration authorities as “the American Gestapo” for deporting Hamas supporters and slurred Jews fighting antisemitism as “Nazi collaborators” for supporting Jewish students being assaulted by antisemitic mobs on college campuses.<br /><br />This is the money and the real agenda lurking behind the latest anti-Israel letter.<br /><br />Despite the media hype, the anti-Israel letter does not represent Orthodox Jews or any kind of legitimate rabbinic movement. Many of the ‘rabbis’ signing the letter are not qualified to be Orthodox rabbis, their ordination disproportionately comes from the non-Orthodox Yeshivat Chovevei Torah social justice institution, or from Yeshivat Maharat, which had been set up by the YCT network to ordain female rabbis. Many are not practicing rabbis, but are academics and activists who use a ‘rabbi’ title to bolster their credibility. Some have entirely different professions in medicine or law. Few actually have functioning congregations. A number are ‘campus rabbis’ or teach at various non-Orthodox institutions where there are no religious standards.<br /><br />Their views are not those of Torah or the Orthodox Jewish religious tradition.<br /><br />Despite claiming to be Orthodox rabbis, a number are affiliated with non-Orthodox institutions like ‘Rabbi Wendy Zierler, PhD she/her’ who teaches Feminist Studies at the Reform movement’s Hebrew Union College. Rabbi Dr. Michael Chernick also teaches at HUC.<br /><br />As the <a href="https://coalitionforjewishvalues.org/2025/08/a-rabbinic-response-to-a-misguided-call-for-moral-clarity/">Coalition for Jewish Values</a>, an actual Orthodox Jewish organization notes, the <a href="https://coalitionforjewishvalues.org/2025/08/a-rabbinic-response-to-a-misguided-call-for-moral-clarity/">signatories include</a> “several openly gay clergy” like Steven Greenberg, a gay man, as well as Rabbi Daniel Landes who had ordained a gay man, also incompatible with traditional Jewish practice. Rabba Melissa Scholten-Gutierrez serves on the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), a group that defended collaborating with anti-semitic and anti-Israel activists Rabbis for Repro Advisory Board and has advocated for abortion as a “Jewish right”.<br /><br />The list is full of fringe leftists involved in feminist theory, gender theory and queer theory like Tyson Herberger, who studies “queer issues in Judaism”. Rabbi Dr. Lindsey Taylor-Guthartz is a feminist scholar who offers online courses such as ‘An Introduction to Islam for Jews’. Rabbi Dr. Joshua Feigelson runs the Institute for Jewish Spirituality which promotes mindfulness and meditation. Rabbi Dr. Alon Goshen-Gottstein has promoted using Hinduism to “stretch Jewish thought”. Rabba Aliza Libman Baronofsky claims to be the parent of a “non-binary child”.<br /><br />All of these are fringe views that are as representative of Orthodox Judaism as a ham sandwich.<br /><br />The vast majority of Orthodox Jews stand with Israel. Just as the vast majority support President Trump. Unlike the majority of American Jews, they do not believe that Judaism must defer to liberalism and that it must adopt leftist definitions of justice to be a moral foundation. And the more they stand strong, the more the Left, under its various guises, tries to get in.<br /><br />The New York Times may promote the lie that these leftist front groups taking a stand against Israel represent Orthodox Judaism, but actual Orthodox Jews will always know better.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Audrey Hale left behind a manifesto that the authorities tried to suppress. Robert Westman filled social media with deranged rants, filmed a video manifesto and decorated his gun with calls to kill Trump and Jews, and hate toward Christians.<br /><br />After every mass shooting, the media turns into impromptu gun experts, enthusiastically discussing calibers and manufacturers, to avoid talking about the motive. Probably knowing that, the killer wrote his motives on his gun and media outlets still refuse to discuss it.<br /><br />The children murdered at Covenant and the Annunciation Catholic Church are secondary victims of the transgender culture wars. The primary victims were two unstable children who had been routed into the ‘therapy’ system, heavily drugged with mind-altering substances, convinced that they were members of the opposite sex and led to believe that the only thing standing in the way of their happiness were those who refused to accept that they were the opposite sex.<br /><br />Some years back, Maya ‘Alex’ McKinney, who was 16 at the time and was being ‘transitioned’ from the time she was 11, opened fire at a Colorado school. Like Hale, who had been in various forms of therapy since she was 6 years old, the experiment finally ended in blood and horror.<br /><br />While most countries are pulling back from the medieval experimentation on children championed by the transgender movement and radical doctors who had taken to claiming that they can identify and begin ‘transitioning’ children as young as two years old, America’s medical and cultural elites have continued the deadly practice while claiming that it helps those children.<br /><br />Not only doesn’t it help, but it kills.<br /><br />Robert, Audrey and Maya are just a few of the transgender mass shooters over the past 6 years as a population of mentally unstable people preyed upon by identity politics turn violent. They’re only the tip of the iceberg with the emergence of the violent transgender Zizian cult responsible for at least six murders including the killing of a Border Patrol officer at the Canadian border.<br /><br />We don’t need ‘gun control’. We do need to stop drugging and grooming children, often already troubled, to join the newest slot in the alphabet movement. The tragic loss of children, often teenage girls, was the result of corrupt culture war politics and the activist teachers, librarians and bored leftist parents who sacrificed their own children on the altar of the movement to fill the time between the BLM riots and the Hamas riots.have blood on their hands for those lost lives.<br /><br />We don’t have ‘gun violence’. No more than Muslim terrorist attacks like 9/11 or the New Orleans Car Jihad were ‘plane violence’ or ‘car violence’. The three causes of mass shootings are mental illness, urban crime and domestic terrorism. Democrats are responsible for causing, worsening and enabling all three by warping kids, promoting criminals and importing terrorists.<br /><br />There is no ‘gun violence’ problem, there is ‘gun violence’ as a consequence of leftist policies.<br /><br />Democrats and the media knowingly blew up Columbine, the first major school shooting, into a nationwide story transforming the two killers into celebrities whose names and crimes continue to be referenced by nearly every school shooter, including Robert Westman and Audrey Hale, in order to achieve their policy goal of gun control. 26 years later, school shootings are a big phenomenon and each time the media blows up each case while knowing that teenage murder suicide<a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/does-media-cause-mass-shootings-daniel-greenfield/"> is a documented copycat phenomenon</a> that will only lead to more school shootings.<br /><br />Generations of medicated teenage school shooters since have been copying each other in the hopes of getting their 15 minutes in the media as the poster boys and girls for gun control.<br /><br />Not satisfied with what they had done, Democrats contrived to find new ways to make things worse. The Obama administration dismantled school discipline policies because they were said to be ‘systemically racist’ leading to the Parkland massacre whose survivors were then enlisted to campaign for gun control when they should have been campaigning for schools to deal with dangerous students before they snap. Pushing transgender transitions on children through schools and libraries took already unstable teens, filled them with hormones meant to rewire their brains and then prepped them for fighting culture wars in high schools across America.<br /><br />That led to more school shootings like McKinney in Colorado and Dylan Butler in Iowa.<br /><br />After the church shooting in Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frey denounced any mention of Robert Westman’s transgender mental health problems claiming that there’s a “whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community” and urged the county to rally behind them.<br /><br />“Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity. Kids died. This needs to be about them,” Frey told CNN. What he really meant was that gun owners needed to be villainized, not the community of mentally ill men who are under the delusion that they are women.<br /><br />Adults are entitled to believe whatever they like, those who need to be hated however are the grown-ups who decided to take kids and exploit their emotional difficulties for their own political gain. No outrage is too great when aimed at the educational and medical professionals who ruined countless lives to provide more damaged foot soldiers for a radical culture war.<br /><br />Many believed and still believe that they were doing the right thing. They’re wrong.<br /><br />And the only way we have any hope of changing that is by having this conversation. Democrats have spent a quarter of a century enabling school shootings while shouting about gun control. We don’t need ‘gun control’. A gun in the hands of a sane, decent and moral American is no more of a threat than a car, a knife or any potentially lethal tool or piece of machinery. And anything, including a car or a can of gasoline, is a deadly weapon in the hands of a bad person.<br /><br />If we want to stop mass shootings, then what we really need is criminal control, Muslim terrorist control and trans control. Get those three taken care of and most gun violence, except for rare crimes of passion, will disappear. We don’t need to control the number of rounds in a weapon, we need to control the kinds of drugs being dispensed to kids under the guise of treating them.<br /><br />We need trans control. The culture war of castrating kids, cutting off their body parts, hitting them with dangerous and untested medications in the name of getting them to ‘accept’ a delusion inflicted on them by that same culture war is insane, horrifying and evil.<br /><br />It’s an evil that must be driven out of every school and medical facility by a combination of parental activism, individual conscience and government intervention. There must be no room for the continuation of these barbaric medical experiments on troubled children. The occasional school shooting is the tip of a bloody iceberg.

They faced intolerance because of their flesh-eating customs until society became more tolerant of their ways. And then they forgot their own struggles to fit in. So it’s our duty to extend our hand (and other available body parts) in welcome to these newest arrivals.<br /><br />Yes, there are certain risks in taking the screwworm to our bosom and integrating her into our society, but those are the same risks which we took when we opened our doors to the world. But the greater the risk, the greater the reward. The future of America will not come from here, but from out there. And we must not forget that today’s hungry screwworm is tomorrow’s CEO.<br /><br />There are some who are afraid, but being infected by flesh-eating parasites is the price we pay for diversity. We want to live in cities with dozens of ethnic cuisines and people who mow our lawns for less than the price of a Venti Matcha Latte at Starbucks, but we can’t have that without also accepting the terrorist bombings, machete beheadings and horrifying parasitic infestations.<br /><br />The best way to deal with the screwworm is not to resist it, but to welcome it into our hearts (or hopefully less vital organs), to learn about its unique traditions and non-judgementally resettle it in vulnerable communities around the country. The screwworm is just the latest immigrant to burrow into the body politics of our nation and once we’ve paid the price, we will be better for it.<br /><br />Elected officials and experts should be dispatched to reassure (and shame) the public out of any irrational prejudices it may have over being devoured from the inside by invasive freeloaders. PBS should feature documentaries about how well and deeply screwworms are integrating into local communities in communities and states we don’t live and couldn’t be paid to set foot into.<br /><br />And any acts of intolerance against screwworms must be met with immediate documentaries.<br /><br />Since the screwworms are used to eating flesh, there may be some initial unpleasantness, but it is nothing that we cannot overcome if we make the conscious choice to sacrifice someone else’s children or livestock on the altar of diversity. Anything else would be a betrayal of our most deeply held values to let our fear for our tender flesh stand in the way of social justice.<br /><br />Like so many refugees, the screwworms come from a troubled part of the world. They have been the victims of generations of imperialistic programs funded by American taxpayers to eradicate them. Their resentments are understandable. That is why we must stand with the screwworms and for the screwworms (but preferably not too close to the screwworms) so they can live free from fear of persecution in even the reddest state and vote for the Democrats.<br /><br />With 300 screwworm larvae hatching from one egg, the flesh-eating parasites will soon form an invincible bloc that can turn every state into California in under a year. All we have to do is make sure that hundreds of mail-in ballots are promptly directed to whichever host they have infested.<br /><br />And we really don’t need to worry. Much.<br /><br />Screwworm infections in humans are mostly non-fatal (with the exception of a gentleman in Costa Rica last year) because the screwworms are not here to kill us, only feed off us and use us to nurture whole families of flesh eating parasites who will only wipe us out when they reach sufficient numbers to take over America. Until then, we have almost nothing to worry about except the occasional radicalized ‘lone wolf’ screwworms who will prematurely try to eat us.<br /><br />And there is so much we can learn from the screwworms.<br /><br />When America eradicated the screwworm (just like it tried to eradicate anyone who was at all ‘different’), we lost a vital part of our ecosystem. Instead of listening to nature, we tried to control it only to discover that Mother Earth always finds a way to overcome our western patriarchal science. Now we have the opportunity to atone for our crimes against the screwworm. This time instead of trying to wipe out the screwworm, we can learn from the screwworm how to live in harmony with the natural world. By embracing ecological diversity, we can find inner peace.<br /><br />And also get in touch with our inner parasites.<br /><br />We have much in common with the screwworm. Like us, screwworms love their children and try to find the best possible home for them whether it’s an Ivy League college or a ghastly wound, and they stay there until they exit with a PhD in gender studies twenty years later. Like us, screwworms form a parasitic relationship with the taxpaying host and can’t be stopped from eating him alive through any means short of sharp pliers or government defunding.<br /><br />Also, like us, the only way to defeat the screwworm is to drop large numbers of sterile males to interfere with their reproductive cycle by telling them that children are bad for the planet.<br /><br />The arrival of the first human infested by screwworms has reopened debate about the virtue of open borders or border security. Some say that if we had secure borders, we wouldn’t have to worry about cartels or flesh-eating parasites, but such thinking is woefully shortsighted.<br /><br />The future begins with each of us. We must lower our walls, open our doors and welcome our new neighbours to our shores. And one day, as we pass our neighbour, the screwworm, and the screwworm’s daughter, who runs a government nonprofit for screwworms, and the screwworm’s 300 sons who are all on welfare, we can be proud of ourselves, our ethics and our humanism.<br /><br />In this way, the flesh-eating parasite will become our friend, the flesh-eating parasite.<br /><br />Each step forward that we take, each screwworm with a useless degree, each screwworm on TV and each screwworm in the school that our sons and daughters attend is a triumph for our deepest values and ideals. They remind us that our civilization, our cultural heritage and our lives are worth nothing if they are not put at the service of our fellow screwworms.<br /><br />Today a screwworm applies for refugee status. Tomorrow a screwworm will be President.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Somalis had accused the Minnesota Department of Human Services of racism, and protested outside its offices to pressure it into providing funding for the $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ and similarly launched a pressure campaign to sign off on the autism fraud.<br /><br />Somali community groups set up their own autism treatment centers to provide diverse “culturally appropriate programming” and Somali kids were seven times more likely to receive autism treatment than other children. Whistleblowers at the Minnesota Department of Human Services report that 1 in 5 autism centers in the state are now under investigation.<br /><br />In the 85 investigations, of the <a href="https://www.americanexperiment.org/two-autism-clinic-feeding-our-future-investigations-revealed-in-dhs-letter-to-gop/">5 closed cases last year</a>, all of them involved Somalis including apparently <a href="https://sahanjournal.com/public-safety/sharmarke-issa-feeding-our-future-guilty-plea-mpha/">Sharmarke Issa,</a> the former chair of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority who pleaded guilty over his involvement in the Feeding Our Future fraud.<br /><br />Some of the autism clinics double dipped by also signing up to hand out meals to children. Smart Therapy, one of the autism clinics raided by the FBI, received $13 million from Medicaid and also signed up with Feeding Our Future to get ‘reimbursements’ from the government for allegedly feeding 300 kids a day for seven days a week which by 2021 was up to 500 kids.<br /><br />The emails listed in the federal complaint appeared to be signed by Aisha Hassan, the CEO and President of Smart Therapy. The autism center was allegedly working with S&amp;S Catering, whose owner Qamar Ahmed Hassan, took in $13 million in government money and then wrote checks to a travel agency specializing in <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/somali-minnesota-200-million-food-aid-fraud-paid-daniel-greenfield/">Islamic tours of Mecca</a> as part of the Feeding Our Future fraud. It’s unknown if Qamar Hassan and <a href="https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/fbi-serves-search-warrants-at-autism-clinics-in-minneapolis-st-cloud/">Asha Hassan</a> are related, but a whistleblower told investigators that another Smart Therapy owner was indeed related to Qamar Hassan.<br /><br />A Smart Therapy whistleblower <a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2024/12/12/fbi-agents-raid-autism-treatment-centers-in-minnesota">stated that the</a> employees were teenage family members of the owners with no training, spent all day on their phones, that the children were not autistic, and that their parents were paid to sign them up for ‘treatment’ with envelopes full of cash.<br /><br />Star Autism Center, also raided by the FBI, billed Medicaid for 21.5 hours of autism therapy from one therapist in one day. Another billed 23 hours of services in a single day. Star’s organizer, Abdinajib Hassan Yussuf, claimed to know nothing. Both centers billed for treatments being provided by its ‘therapists’ while they were in Kenya (which hosts a large Somali migrant population) and Turkey which serves as a center for Islamic terrorist migration. Including ISIS.<br /><br />It is difficult to know the full scale of the Somali autism fraud, but troublingly DHS Assistant Commissioner Natasha Merz <a href="https://accesspress.org/autism-centers-probed/">had claimed</a> that the catastrophic growth of the state’s autism program has been “pretty consistent” with other DHS programs including housing and disability funding. That means that the fraud we know could be only the tip of a massive iceberg.<br /><br />For example, Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) was budgeted at $2.6 million when it was launched in 2020 but by 2024, was expected to hit $120 million. The sheer scale of welfare fraud under the Walz administration is so severe that hundreds of millions of dollars can easily vanish across the board without anyone even noticing because it’s no longer an aberration.<br /><br />Under Gov. Tim Walz, it’s become routine for welfare programs to shoot up from the millions to the hundreds of millions. “Well, I think you’re always accountable for when things happen, but I think the accountability piece that we’re going to have to try and understand,” Walz replied, when asked about Minnesota’s spiraling welfare fraud crisis. “The question is, in state government, our job is to carry out the programs to try and get the resources to the people who need them.”<br /><br />While Gov. Walz may act baffled, he and his political allies in the DFL chose to roll money out the door to Somali groups, while eliminating accountability and avoiding any scrutiny out of fear of racism. Between Attorney General Keith X. Ellison and DHS Inspector General Kulani Moti, a former public defender and the daughter of the first ‘Oromo’ immigrant from East Africa to move to Minnesota, sensitivity has been a priority, rigorous enforcement has not.<br /><br />Somalis were already caught stealing tens of millions of dollars in various unrelated Medicaid health care frauds including $20 million in fraud in 2023 alone. This year there’s already been a Somali $7 million fraud conviction. But without federal investigations, these are just a fraction of the abuses being caught at the state level, even as the massive systematic fraud goes on.<br /><br />Somali fraud now appears to equal half the budgets for the Twin Cities. How big can the fraud get before Minnesota runs out of money?</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

After 25, transgenderism falls off a cliff, nearly disappears after 35 (and hardly exists for those over 65, sorry Admiral Rick Levine) but rises sharply the younger the teens get with the highest percentages of transgender identification kicking in among teens 13 to 17.<br /><br />A quarter of the ‘transgender’ population is between 13 and 17 years old. There are more teens in that age range who claim to be ‘transgender’ than the total ‘transgender’ population over 35.<br /><br />According to the UCLA report, 724,000 “youth” now identify as ‘transgender’.<br /><br />If 25% of the ‘transgender’ population falls within 5 years, there’s either something in the water or something in the culture. And if there were something in the water, we’d all be drinking it. What is unique about teens in that age range is that they spend much of their time in classrooms and on specific social media platforms like TikTok that promote this identity.<br /><br />There’s nothing organic about numbers like these. They are not the result of any biological phenomenon, but are a manufactured social contagion that intensely targets teens. They are certainly not the result of pseudoscientific nonsense like “being born in the wrong body”, but of high pressure tactics practiced on social media and in educational settings promoting a transgender identity to troubled teens as the answer to their emotional and social problems.<br /><br />To understand why ‘transgenderism’ became a phenomenon requires looking not at biology or genetics, but at the cultural influences that teens are subject to that the rest of us are not.<br /><br />Revealingly, the numbers for teen ‘transgenderism’ come out of the school system.<br /><br />The Biden administration added the transgender question to the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey as a mandatory question for high school students. The CDC’s question was deliberately worded in an ambiguous way to maximize responses, asking teens “some people describe themselves as transgender when their sex at birth does not match the way they think or feel about their gender”. (The question should be removed from the CDC’s survey.) The question does not ask teenage boys if they believe they’re girls or teenage girls if they believe themselves to be boys because that would reduce the number of affirmative responses.<br /><br />The CDC’s transgender question is itself an example of grooming, defining transgenderism in a softer way that encourages teens struggling with themselves to identify that way. But the CDC’s survey question is really trying to measure the effects of educational indoctrination on identity. And then feeds it back by urging schools to protect student “mental health” by creating “safe spaces” and “inclusive clubs” for “LGBTQ” students to promote transgender identity.<br /><br />How reliable are the CDC’s survey numbers? The CDC’s questionnaire went to 20,000 students. Many states, including Florida, Mississippi, Iowa, Minnesota, Wyoming, Colorado and Idaho did not participate, so sizable parts of the country were screened out. Worse still, LA and San Francisco were declared to be “representative” school districts for California, Nashville for Georgia, Portland for Oregon and Seattle for Washington. Other “representative” school districts included Boston, Chicago, NYC, Philly, D.C. and Newark. The CDC’s principle appeared to be the maximization of wokeness. And the results from those 20,000 students, apparently concentrated in more liberal areas, were generalized to form a snapshot of teens nationwide.<br /><br />That is where the nationwide 724,000 transgender teen estimate actually comes from.<br /><br />The adult portions of the UCLA study come from the CDC’s Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System which are in turn supposedly gathered from a larger sample of 400,000 interviews. There are all sorts of statistical problems with the CDC’s BRFSS estimates of particular groups, and while these are esoteric, the problem with the results is a little easier for anyone to spot.<br /><br />For example, Alaska is estimated to have a nicely rounded 1,700 ‘transgender women’ (men who claim to be women), 1,700 ‘transgender men’ (women who claim to be men) and 1,700 ‘transgender nonbinaries’ (who claim not to be whatever they are). Then, there are the 1,700 transgender teens in Alaska and 1,700 transgenders between 18 and 24 years old.<br /><br />What are the odds of exactly 1,700 Alaskans falling into each category? Making these numbers even more improbable is Alaska’s famous male-skewed gender ratio. But not only does Alaska apparently have nearly as high a ratio of transgenders as California, but it has the same exact number of men identifying as women as the number of women identifying as men.<br /><br />But once all of Alaska is transgender, the state’s male-female gender will finally disappear.<br /><br />Maybe that’s why the CDC numbers also claim that Alaska has a higher non-binary ratio than California. And Alaska isn’t alone. Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Minnesota and Missouri, not to mention Arkansas, Ohio, Mississippi and West Virginia have higher ratios of men identifying as women than (the other ways around) than California.<br /><br />But the winner by far is Oklahoma. And really, how likely is that?<br /><br />Other incredible statistics from the CDC survey are the exactly 3,500 men identifying as women and 3,500 non-binaries in New Hampshire, and the exactly 1,600 men identifying as women and 1,600 women identifying as men in D.C. There may not be something in the water, but there may be something in the numbers. The goal of the numbers is to manufacture the idea of a widespread transgender trend that is sweeping the country and sweeping the youth.<br /><br />How real is it? As real as the 1,700 nonbinaries of Alaska.<br /><br />There is a real phenomenon of adults grooming teens to get on to the latest radical identity politics trend. Once teens fall into this trap, they’re dosed with castration drugs that leave them unable to ever lead normal lives again in exchange for being used as poster boys and girls for the movement. But it is not nearly as widespread as the various surveys try to claim.<br /><br />It is however an insidious form of grooming that destroys lives, relationships and futures, and must be eliminated from America’s schools. And all federal support for it, whether at the CDC or anywhere else, must end.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

The direct inspiration for Animal Farm had come from ‘The Adventures of the Little Pig’ a pre-war children’s book published by the ‘Left Book Club’ to indoctrinate children into anti-capitalism as the little pig grapples with various threats embodying rapacious capitalism.<br /><br />The Left Book Club had been created “to provide machinery by which books of urgent political importance could be issued at a very low price” and while ‘The Adventures of the Little Pig’ was successful at the time, its political indoctrination is so mild by the standards of contemporary children’s literature, in which Antiracist Baby and the Little Engine That Could Pays a Visit to the Pride Parade are normative, that it’s borderline undetectable, and is mostly forgotten today.<br /><br />But 8 years later, Orwell used a story about some pigs and other barnyard animals to distill a capsule history of the Bolshevik revolution through its various phases from the promise of liberation to the descent into an even bleaker tyranny than anything that had come before.<br /><br />Despite the animal fable, Orwell found it nearly impossible to find a publisher. Unlike The Adventures of the Little Pig there was nothing childish about Animal Farm and the book was clearly not meant for children. Anyone familiar with the history of the USSR knew exactly what Orwell was on about which meant that British Communists rushed to suppress it, warning that it was a threat to national security, the war effort and would ruin relations with Moscow.<br /><br />Orwell’s old enemy, the Ministry of Information, infested with Communists and leftists, did everything possible to make certain Animal Farm would never see the light of day. Orwell would make the ‘Ministry’ the focus of 1984 where it would be known as the Ministry of Truth and in the business of lies, doublespeak and industrial level societal brainwashing. Even Soviet spies took an interest in Animal Farm and worked to suppress the biting critique of the USSR.<br /><br />The liberal Jewish anti-Communist publisher Fredric Warburg, who had published Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia, and its description of Communist depredations, took a chance on Animal Farm. The book emerged in the late summer days of 1945 in that awkward stage between the fall of Germany and Japan, and while the Cold War had not yet officially arrived, those with their noses to the wind could smell it drifting over from the Soviet occupied zones of Berlin.<br /><br />But the rhetoric even among British conservatives tended to be far more cautious. A day before Animal Farm‘s publication, Churchill, now the leader of the opposition, had delivered a speech warning about totalitarianism under Soviet occupation all the while hedging diplomatically that “nor does it mean that Soviet Russia seeks to reduce all those independent States to provinces of the Soviet Union. Mr. Stalin is a very wise man.” Churchill’s Iron Curtain speech was still a year away and though its themes were already present in his parliamentary remarks, Animal Farm delivered one of the clearest popular early blows to the pro-Soviet consensus in the UK.<br /><br />Animal Farm’s Soviet Union is a grim mockery, a totalitarian system that undoes equality in the name of equality, that terrorizes and exploits the working class it claims to save, whose pigs are not liberators, but enslavers, and who, most damningly, invert language to mean its opposite. This is a theme that Orwell would revisit powerfully in 1984 and make ‘Orwellian’ into a verb.<br /><br />Today, Animal Farm’s breakdown of Soviet history is indecipherable to all but its most educated readers, its metaphors for the different elements of the classes on the farm are irrelevant, and the Communists who once tried to stamp it out for those reasons no longer care about it so much so that the book the CIA once covertly airdropped into Soviet territories can be found for sale in China because the perception is that no one knows what it’s talking about anymore.<br /><br />But in the age of ‘Equity’, of Black Lives Matter, Animal Farm is also more relevant than ever.<br /><br />Orwell, a close student of political language, incisively deconstructed the rationales by which leftist movements make totalitarianism seem like liberation and turn inequality into equality. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” remains a scathing retort for the hypocritical systems that insist that their version of inequality is a better version of equality.<br /><br />No conservative critic of the Left could summon the sense of outraged betrayal that Orwell, a socialist, brought to his attacks on the Communist perversion of his ideals and in the process, he created witty biting anti-slogans such as “Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better”, “War is Peace” and “Freedom is Slavery”. All of those satirical anti-slogans remain more relevant than ever even long after the passing of the USSR because the reality in front of our eyes is constantly in conflict with the ideological mass propaganda being presented to us by our version of the party.<br /><br />The simple truth of that ‘fairy’ animal fable, as Animal Farm was once known, is that power is at odds with equality, and any system that insists on centralizing power in the name of equality, as the Left invariably does, is a paradox that can only be resolved through Doublespeak inversions.<br /><br />Leftist totalitarianism has become slyer than ever at hiding behind victimhood. Equity is a classic example of “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”, but its proponents insist that the slogan applies to actual legal equality while its inequality will actually make everyone more equal. Leftist tyrants always hide behind the oppressed, behind some group of victims in whose name they oppress, but they can’t help oppressing the oppressed.<br /><br />The caretaker regimes, the pigs of Animal Farm, can never cede power to the people or animals whom they claim to advocate for, and eventually the shell game dissolves into open tyranny. While 1984 is the clearest paradigm of tyranny, Animal Farm is in some ways even more important because it shows the process by which the revolution devolves into tyranny.<br /><br />Orwell is widely read and rarely heeded. His death at a relatively early age and the slow dissolution of the liberal anti-Communist movements that were launched by, among others, his publisher Warburg, in the early days of the Cold War, also made it all too easy to hijack his legacy, but the stark satirical novels he wrote toward the end of his life remain sharp rebukes.<br /><br />80 years later, Animal Farm mocks not only the Soviet Union, but the idea that liberation movements concentrating and clinging to power would ever amount to more than totalitarian farces. It offers a warning to contemporary American and European liberals who, like their counterparts in Orwell’s day, allowed themselves to be hijacked by Communism, of how it all ends, not in Obama’s ‘Right Side of History’ but in terror, tyranny and mass death.<br /><br />Ideology, Orwell warned his ideological cohort, is endlessly mutable when it consists of mere words. “Two Legs Bad” can become “Two Legs Better” when people learn to repeat slogans, rather than live them. Equality is either a real state of being or just another slogan all too easily warped into meaning whatever those in power want it to mean. Above all else, Orwell taught us to be suspicious of the slogans and rationales deployed by those in power to justify their rule.<br /><br />We live in a world where some animals are more equal than others. What will change that world is not another revolution of radicals, but reducing the power of the radical pigs who rule over us.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Cause they got the Smithsonian, they can get rid of all the slavery stuff. They got PragerU, they can lie about the history to the children. They can’t originally invent anything, more than they were ever able to invent good music,” former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid claimed.<br /><br />White people did invent a few things. Like Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, the microchip and the video technology that Joy Reid uses to complain about the worthlessness of white people.<br /><br />But white people have also invented some pretty terrible things: like Joy Reid.<br /><br />Reid, maiden name ‘Lomana’, was, like Kamala, the daughter of foreign radical grad students who formed a relationship that ended, in the traditional Obama and Kamala style, with a deadbeat father going back to his country and leaving the American taxpayers to raise Joy.<br /><br />“I got into Harvard only because of affirmative action,” she bragged. If Harvard hadn’t been so white (and Asian), it would have had no use for Joy Reid and she wouldn’t have gotten in.<br /><br />After starting out as a pre-med, Reid put that Harvard ride to good use by getting a degree in “Visual and Environmental Studies”. That’s Harvard-speak for a degree in Film. Reid might have used that affirmative action to become a doctor and save lives in the black community, but she put her time at the prestigious university to much better use getting the kind of useless degree a vapid rich kid with no clue about life would obtain and then ignore in his future career.<br /><br />And that’s exactly what Joy Reid did. 6 years later, she popped up on a local South Florida station and 25 years later, MSNBC gave her a slot. Why did MSNBC decide to reward an otherwise talentless troll with the charisma of melted cheese with a show? A year earlier, Comcast had finalized its acquisition of NBC (something it would later come to regret) and to get past the political opposition, it recruited Al Sharpton, gave him a show and promised to provide minority programming. Once again, affirmative action from white people invented Joy Reid.<br /><br />Unlike Harvard, MSNBC’s affirmative action made Joy Reid into a national figure. The problem was that she was badly unsuited to it. While working in South Florida local TV, Reid tried to raise her profile with an ugly hatefilled blog named the Reid Report. On it, Reid expressed her contempt for Latinos, Jews, gay people and just about everyone else. Inconveniently, the Reid Report was also the name of the poorly rated show that MSNBC had just given to Joy Reid.<br /><br />A white man’s career would have ended over even a tenth of the stuff that Reid wrote. Or it would have ended due to the Reid Report’s low ratings. But instead, Joy Reid claimed that her blog had been ‘hacked’ by mysterious digital criminals who made her write mean things that she would have never said, and the search continues for them to this day. While a number of gay groups broke ties with Joy and the Daily Beast tossed her column, MSNBC stuck by her.<br /><br />MSNBC’s extremely white president decided to make Joy Reid a national correspondent (all the better to enable her to catch the real bloggers) and then had her replace Chris Matthews. Matthews, a fat white guy, had been accused of ‘inappropriate’ comments about women, and replacing him with Reid would prove that MSNBC was neither racist nor sexist.<br /><br />Once again, Joy Reid was invented by white men, this time as a major news personality. But where Matthews knew what was going on and could rant about it, Reid was just embarrassing. She was never going to be a national figure no matter how much money MSNBC invested in her. Reid’s first episode debuted at 2.6 million. By the time MSNBC showed her the door, she was <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/low-ratings-likely-cost-joy-reid-her-show-at-msnbc/ar-AA1zHPyR?disableErrorRedirect=true&amp;infiniteContentCount=0">sinking below</a> 1 million. By then, Reid had lost over a quarter of her audience in one year.<br /><br />Did Joy Reid take responsibility and leave graciously? Nah, that’s for old white men.<br /><br />Instead, she blamed racism, Trump and the Jews for her firing. Joy Reid claimed that her “ratings were fine”, but that Trump was especially angry with her because she was a black woman and that she was also fired over Gaza because if there are two things that MSNBC is best known for, it’s an unwillingness to criticize Trump and advocate for Hamas.<br /><br />Joy Reid claimed that her reported $3 million salary was only “a tenth of the salary of people who did literally my same job, the whole time I worked there” and “that any man that was doing what I was doing was going to make more than me.” Reid didn’t name all the men at MSNBC who were making $30 million a year. Probably because they’re as real as her blog hackers.<br /><br />But even after making millions of dollars a year, Reid has to play the victim of the patriarchy.<br /><br />A talking head who graduated from Harvard with a worthless degree claimed that white men “get the sort of presumption of brilliance,” and insisted that, “they work less hours and make more than us, get bigger raises, more opportunities and more grace.” The number of white men who would have kept their job, let alone gotten a promotion after writing half the things about Latinos and gay people that Joy did, or claiming that Jews spread COVID, is around zero.<br /><br />Joy Reid’s entire miserable career is a testament to the grace given to her by white men.<br /><br />In the same conversation, Reid bragged that “the curse of competency means you’re the best person at what you do.” For Reid, competency probably is as close to her best as can be because she’s hopelessly dumb, hopelessly privileged and wasted every chance she got.<br /><br />White people invented Joy Reid. They moved her up the ladder every step of the way, from Harvard to MSNBC, gave her every possible chance that she then wasted, only to then blame them for not endlessly subsidizing her failure theater. After MSNBC canceled Reid’s first show, her supporters claimed that she didn’t fail, the cable network didn’t give her enough support because she was a black woman. So MSNBC ignored her racism, made her a national correspondent and gave her millions of dollars and a top show that she ran into the ground. And when they finally canned her, the same voices began claiming that MSNBC was racist.<br /><br />Now Reid is ranting about how white men never invented anything on Substack: a platform created by, you guessed it, white men. And if she doesn’t get enough paying subscribers, will Joy take responsibility? No, she’ll blame Substack for being racially biased against her.<br /><br />Is Joy Reid to blame for all this? No, white men are. You can no more expect character and responsibility from Reid than you can expect a drunken hippo not to roll over you.<br /><br />White men took her into Harvard, gave her local and then national TV shows, and what did they think was going to happen? Of all the worst inventions of white men, like mustard gas, disco and CAPTCHAs, the worst person on MSNBC or as it’s now known, MSNOW, has a special place in world history. White men may have written symphonies, great novels and invented the internet, but they also invented Joy Reid and it’s hard to say if we can ever forgive them for that.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 26px; padding: 0px;"><i style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #17161a; font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: large; outline: none;"><span face="&quot;Plus Jakarta Sans&quot;, sans-serif, FontAwesome, &quot;Font Awesome 6 Free&quot;" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;"><a href="http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.1s;" target="_blank">Daniel Greenfield</a>&nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
