Visas for Terrorists, No Visas for Israelis

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

There was outrage after the move to deport foreign campus terrorist supporters, including Momodou Taal, who had to take their cue from Hamas and tweeted “absolutely anyone the US calls an enemy is my friend”.

A basic condition of visa travel and resident alien status is that the temporary visitors to this country may not commit crimes or advocate for illegal terrorist groups.

But the efforts to remove Taal, Mahmoud Khalil, a top activist in a Columbia University group that had celebrated the Oct 7 attacks and called for the destruction of America, and Rasha Alawieh, a Lebanese Hezbollah supporter who attended Hassan Nasrallah’s funeral, were condemned by Senate and House Democrats, the media and even some liberal Jewish groups like the Jewish Democratic Council of America and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs as a violation of the First Amendment rights of terrorist supporters who were being “punished for their speech”.

And those defending the rights of foreign nationals to assault police officers as “free speech:” were not all that long ago cheering visa bans for Israeli Jews.

After Oct 7, two Israeli musicians recorded “Harbu Darbu”, a hip-hop song that went viral for celebrating Israeli soldiers and calling for the destruction of Islamic terrorists. Next year, when Ness and Stilla, the musicians behind the song, tried to visit the United States to take part in a Miami concert sponsored by the Israeli consulate, their request for a visa was denied by the Biden administration because of the passionate lyrics of the anti-terrorist song.

Lior Narkis, a popular Israeli musician, who had formerly represented Israel in Eurovision, was blocked from performing even though he had already legally entered the United States by blocking him from receiving a performer visa. There was no reason for such a move by the Biden administration except to specifically stop the planned concert from taking place.

None of the media outlets or organizations clamoring for the right of Islamic terrorist supporters to come here on visas and terrorize Jewish students on campus objected to blocking pro-Israel musicians from coming to perform here.

And when the Biden administration announced that it would be restricting Israeli Jews opposed to Hamas from coming to America, the move was met with cheers from many of those now decrying the suspension of visas for terrorist supporters.

In December 2023, Secretary of State Blinken announced “visa restrictions” were being imposed on those he falsely described as “extremist settlers” who were “involved in undermining peace, security, or stability in the West Bank, including through committing acts of violence or taking other actions that unduly restrict civilians’ access to essential services.”

The Biden’s administration’s ‘Jew Ban’ was not only extended to Israeli shepherds who were defending themselves against Islamic violence, but to non-violent protesters opposed to Blinken’s policies.

The unprecedented sanctions hit goat farms, a baker who had shot a terrorist while serving in the army in 2016, and an Israeli mother of 8 who had worked with sexual assault survivors and was protesting the aid trucks that Biden was sending to Hamas.

“From the moment I founded Tzav 9, it was solely to bring our hostages home. We wanted to stop aid to Hamas and prevent harm to our soldiers. Our actions included all parts of the nation – hostage families, bereaved families, right-wing and left-wing alike – all participating in the most legitimate actions with zero violence. Now, we face sanctions, personally targeting me,” Reut Ben Haim, a protest leader who had a 6-month-old baby and a husband serving in Gaza, said.

100% of the individuals and 85% of the organizations sanctioned under Biden's Executive Order 14115 were Jewish. And there was not a single word of protest against this 'Jew Ban' from those who had previously protested against Trump's 'Muslim Ban'.

The same people who claim they want to protect Taal and Khalil’s “freedom of speech” were enthusiastic about imposing sanctions that banned Reut from getting a visa or even having a bank account by falsely listing her as a “transnational criminal organization” for engaging in peaceful protests.

In sharp contrast to the Columbia U rioters and other pro-Hamas campus groups, Reut Ben Haim and Tzav 9 were not engaged in violence. And yet the media and leftist organizations, including the anti-Israel lobby J Street, hailed the crackdown on supporters of Israel. Shomrim: the Center for Media and Democracy, an extremist group, even spied on Reut to determine if she was still getting money despite the sanctions.

When Trump eliminated those sanctions on taking office, the media, including Politico, NBC News, Reuters and AP, which has a history of Hamas ties, falsely accused Trump of causing violence by dropping sanctions on a housewife with a baby.

Because it was never about free speech. It was about supporting terrorism.

Even ordinary Israelis reported being targeted with questions about whether they had served in the military, had seen combat, had shot any terrorists or guarded captured terrorists An Israeli woman trying to visit as a tourist described being interrogated for half an hour for details about her service before being told she was ineligible for a visa. A real estate VP was debriefed for hours about his time in Gaza causing him to miss his flight. A tech company executive said, “I feel as if questions were copied from the Office of the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.”

Even while this was going on, the Biden administration had provided a ‘green card’ to Mahmoud Khalil and welcomed countless Muslim terrorism supporters into the United States.

Those who defend campus Hamas supporters do not object to blocking people from receiving visas and coming to this country over their views or their connections to foreign organizations, as long as those views are pro-Israel and that foreign organization is an army fighting against Islamic terrorists. They only object to blocking and rescinding visas to supporters of Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups for their violent assaults, threats and campaign to destroy America and Israel.

Those who support Taal, Khalil and other campus terror supporters are not doing so because of some abstract commitment to free speech. They had plenty of chances to stand up for free speech. The only speech they support is the speech that they already agree with. And that speech is aimed at destroying America and Israel.

Will Europe Fall to Sharia Law?

By Robin Itzler

Editor's Note:  This is one of the commentaries selected from Robin's weekly newsletter Patriot Neighbors. Any cartoons appearing will have been added by me.  If you wish to get the full edition, E-mail her at PatriotNeighbors@yahoo.com to get on her list, it's free. RK   

 

In 2006, Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi said:

“We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe—without swords, without guns, without conquest—will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.”

France:

Hugh Fitzgerald writes in Front Page “Creeping Sharia in France” saying:

Muslims have been threatening boulangeries and restaurants in France, even those owned by non-Muslims, to become strictly halal. That means all pork products must be banned. Some outlets have had to ban alcohol, while others have declared that only men should shop in their stores during the week, and women only on weekends.

Giulio Meotti writes in Arutz Sheva “Sharia is Taking Over France” saying:

In France, sharia is taking over and the bienpensants don’t care. After months of pressure and the latest altercation in his bakery in VĂ©nissieux (Lyon), Alexandre Dallery announced on Friday that the boulangerie would stop selling pork products.

The announcement from the bakery is chilling, but we are in Lyon, the third largest city in France where Muslims make up 30 percent of the population. Who can blame Dallery, the dhimmi baker? In Vaulx-en-Velin, also in Lyon, even non-Muslim students confess to Europe 1 that they feel the pressure of Sharia to veil themselves.

Germany

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser is demanding that Germany strengthen controls at its national borders as it waits for the Europe Union to do a better job with external borders. Faeser wants Germany to:

“...protect against the acute dangers posed by Islamist terrorists and serious crime.”

Starting last week, Germany unilaterally imposed border closures for six months on all nine of its borders with other European countries. They plan to screen all foreigners trying to enter and if the applicant is rejected, they will be sent to one of Germany’s neighboring nations. The mainstream opposition party is demanding that NO new asylum seekers be allowed into Germany.

Great Britain

More than six months ago, a new organization started called The Muslim Vote. Their goal is to shape a Muslim voting bloc in Great Britain that will demand that politicians pay attention to Muslim concerns.  Birmingham is the second largest city in England and is 30 percent Islamic. In London, its largest city, Muslims are 15 percent of the population. Jews are less than 2 percent in London and 0.1 percent in Birmingham.

Netherlands

Asylum and Migration Minister Marjolein Faber wrote to the European Commission demanding that the country be able to set its own migration and asylum policies. That was a campaign pledge from populist Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders, who maintains power behind the Dutch government.

Sweden

Foreign-born citizens account for 20 percent of the nation’s population. Now some are proposing that the government increase their offering to those who will return to their country of origin. Their suggestion would be 350,000 Swedish kronor ($34,000). Currently, the government pays 10,000 kronor per adult and 5,000 per child for those who leave the Scandinavian nation.

Sweden has the highest gangland killings in Europe. From “Sweden Looks Into the Abyss” by Stefan Hedlund: 

While virtually all Swedes were Christians from the 12th to the early 20th centuries, that share has fallen to less than 60 percent today. It is not inconceivable that Sweden will have a majority Muslim population sometime this century. The trend is bound to energize Islamist circles that are calling for a divided legal system, where Sharia law applies for Muslim citizens.

Could Europe Happen Here?

Donald Trump’s response In the United States, the (legal and illegal) invasion is from third-world countries that are not sending us their best citizens.

From Aurora, Colorado to Springfield, Ohio to New York City, the United States has been INVADED, compliments of the Harris-Biden administration. In the past, most people came to our country anxious to become Americans. Now many (not all) want America to embrace the country they left behind and the religious beliefs they brought with them.

When reelected, President Trump will stop the insanity. His post on Truth Social: As President, I will immediately end the migrant invasion of America. We will stop all migrant flights, end all illegal entries, terminate the Kamala phone app for smuggling illegals (CBP One App), revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration). I will save our cities and towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and all across America. MAGA2024!

Survey Shows Majority of Muslim College Students Hate Jews

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog


Campus antisemitism is a problem, but reports focus on the experiences of Jewish students rather than the identity of the perpetrators. Media reports hesitate to name anyone. Jewish organizations zero in on campus hate groups like Students for Justice in Palestine, but that only tells us so much about why antisemitism has become so widespread at certain universities.

Brandeis University’s Center for Modern Jewish Studies recently conducted a survey asking college students about their views of Jews and Israel. And the results are revealing, 66% of students, the vast majority, did not hate Jews or Israel.

While leftist students only make up 14% of overall students (less than the 17% who identify as conservative), they made up a full 43% of students who were hostile to Israel. The remaining 46% of those hostile to the Jewish State identified as “liberal”. Those activists associated with campus encampments and other forms of harassment are a small minority of leftist extremists who have used student organizations and political complicity to wield disproportionate power.

Liberal Jews have embraced diversity as the solution to hate, but diversity causes antisemitism.


White students were surveyed as the least likely to hate Jews. Twice as many black, Hispanic and Asian students as white students ranked as “hostile to Jews”. While black students were slightly ahead in the small “extremely hostile” group, Asians were slightly more hostile to Jews than any other minority group. This may reflect academic competition between Jewish and Asian students, Chinese government support for Hamas or some Muslim students being grouped together with Asians.

Only 10% of white students were hostile to Jews, however 23% of Asian, 22% of black and 22% of Hispanic students were hostile to Jews. That meant they agreed with statements such as “Jewish people talk about the Holocaust just to further their political agenda” and “Jews should be held accountable for Israel’s actions”. 26% potentially held favorable views of Hamas.

And that brings us back to the question of which group of students hates Jews the most.

Christian students were overall the least hateful toward Jews and Israel. (4% of Christians were more antisemitic than the average but this may reflect the inclusion of some minority students or the impact of ‘Groypers’ and other social media influencers like Candace Owens.)

72% of Christian students, 65% of atheists and agnostics and 60% of ‘other religion’ students were not hostile to Jews or Israel, so that majorities of every belief system were not antisemitic.

Muslim students were the only group where the numbers were the exact opposite.

65% of Muslim students either hated Jews or Israel. Only 29% were non-hostile.

These numbers represent a complete break from those of any other group. No single group on campus, even leftists, hates Jews nearly as much as Muslims do.

Revealingly, more Muslims hate Jews than hate Israel.

36% of Muslim students, over a third, hated Jews, 29% hated Israel, and 6% hated both making it clear that this is not about politics, territory or Gaza: it’s really about Islamic antisemitism.

The wholly artificial distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism falls apart here as it has throughout the general normalization of assaults and harassment of Jews after Oct 7.

Not even a third of Muslim students were tolerant of Jews. What does this mean on campus?

While hard data on Muslim demographics at universities with the largest antisemitism problems are hard to find and even more difficult to break down, we know that Muslim student populations have increased sharply, in some cases doubling within a decade. Muslims now make up 2% of the students at the University of California, 3.7% of Yale’s undergrads, 2.4% of Princeton seniors, 2.7% of students at the University of Michigan, and 3.6% at colleges overall.

These may be relatively small percentages (and some are out of date) but they represent over 75,000 students concentrated at key campuses. A previous survey found that encampments and other pro-terrorist activity has been concentrated at elite universities. Some of those same universities draw in large number of Jewish and Muslim students. What does it mean when a disproportionately antisemitic group grows its share of the student population?

The growing Muslim student demographics lead directly to hostile campuses for Jews.

At Harvard, the number of Muslim students in the freshmen class increased from 2.6% in 2013 to 3.9% in 2021. During that same period, the number of Jewish students fell by 2%. Would the harassment of Jewish students at Harvard have played out the same way if the number of Muslim students hadn’t been rising and the number of Jewish students weren’t falling?

At Yale, the number of Muslim students doubled from 1.5% in the oughts to over 3% in the previous decade. During this same period, the Jewish student body also declined.

Muslim immigration, sharp population growth and foreign students are changing campus demographics. A decade ago, there were twice as many Jewish students as Muslim students at UCLA. The numbers are likely reversed now. And that helps explain what happened on campus.

The sustained harassment of Jewish students is not just ideological, it’s racial and religious.

Ideological leftist opposition to Israel has come together with the traditional Islamic antipathy to Jews, and the propensity toward dislike of Jews among more ‘diverse’ minority groups in an alliance of hate. Political extremism, support for terrorism and antisemitism have come together in a toxic atmosphere where Communist and Hezbollah flags fly side by side and black nationalist and third worldist academics explain why Hamas and Oct 7 are progressive.

Muslim students and Islamist organizations tie together an alliance between white leftists who want to destroy America, Europe and Israel, as well as some black, Latino and Asian students who ethnically and racially detest Jews by drawing on the destructive tendencies of both worlds.

Where white people have learned to feel guilty about hating others, minority ethnic nationalists take pride in their racism. Critical race theory, third world discourse and orientalism are just ideological permission structures for bigotry. The moral inversion of terrorism turned the Marxist and then Islamic perpetrators into victims and the victims into perpetrators who had it coming.

Islamic nationalism, hate and even genocide are portrayed as moral because they are the work of the oppressed even if the oppressed are a racist, totalitarian majority of over a billion people persecuting not only Jews and Christians, but also Buddhists, Hindus and nearly every religion.

While anti-Zionist discourse pretends that Israel was created and sustained by a few European immigrants, the majority of Israel’s population (and the vast majority of its nationalist voters who have kept Netanyahu in power) are Middle Eastern Jewish refugees fleeing Muslim oppression.

Muslim antisemitism is why Israel exists and why it’s still subjected to Islamic terrorism.


The same hate faced by Jewish students on campus led a million Jews to flee Muslim countries for Israel, America, France and other parts of the free world. That hatred is not a response to Gaza, to the Six Day War or to any events more recent than the rise of Islam.

Islamic antisemitism is at the heart of the Koran and Islamic scripture. Islam was born in part out of the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Arabia. And it teaches that Jews are its primal enemies.

Muslim students are far more hostile to Jews than any other group of students because of religious prejudice. That prejudice has been around for over 1,000 years of Islamic oppression and will not disappear no matter what negotiations take place in the Middle East.

Liberal Jews have long championed diversity, but a diverse population is statistically more antisemitic. Combining diversity with a free pass for bigotry aimed at the ideologically deserving white people and Jews is turning university campuses into no-go zones for Jews.

And what’s true of campuses is also true of American cities.

The multicultural and immigration policies of liberal Jewish organizations led directly to this crisis. It’s time for them to look at the numbers and do the math before it’s too late.

What I Saw at a Terrorist Rally Outside a Synagogue

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

Thirty minutes after Hamas supporters first set up their operation outside a Los Angeles synagogue, they maced their first Jew. And the Los Angeles police did nothing.

Not until an hour into the terrorist rally outside a synagogue, did the LAPD finally step in, pushing back masked Jihad supporters in keffiyeh terror scarves from the entrance of Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) which they had occupied.

And then the mob, chanting calls for “intifada” and the destruction of Israel, moved outward to target two smaller synagogues attended by Persian Jewish refugees from Islamic terror in Iran.

“Billions of us will come and kill you,” a heavily accented Middle Eastern man in a keffiyeh unprompted rasped at me as I walked up. Only dozens had actually shown up, but they made up for it with bullhorns, robotic chants, and assaults in the middle of a Jewish neighborhood.

The Jewish counterprotesters had come waving American and Israeli flags while the other side was a sea of terrorist flags. A man wore an Antifa cap, another had come in ski goggles during 90-degree heat, while others toted bear spray, metal bottles, and other implements of violence.

The Jewish community members included older men and women, as well as families, while the Hamas contingent was mostly young and many were masked. A pair of rabbis led a melodic song that could hardly be heard over the harsh clatter of the hateful terror chants.

Despite knowing that a terrorist rally was planned outside a synagogue, the LAPD had allowed the terrorist supporters to take over the entire sidewalk leaving only a thin lane for attendees to walk through to get inside. The LAPD did little to interfere with the terrorist supporters, but did block Jewish counterprotesters from reaching their own synagogue. The police also did nothing as clumps of masked Hamas supporters broke away from the synagogue and began confronting, threatening, and attacking Jewish community members on the street.

LAPD officers did not stir as confrontations escalated into assaults, shoving into mace and bear spray. Jewish community members rushed to provide water bottles to the affected. Only after several such incidents did the LAPD finally bring in reinforcements and push the Hamas supporters away from the synagogue entrance (dispersing them to harass and threaten two other synagogues) while also clearing Jewish families away from the other side of the street who had been peacefully waving flags near a children’s school.

The terrorist hate rally spread outside three synagogues, Congregation Adas Torah, Chabad Persian Youth, and Congregation Ateret Israel (Glory of Israel), and the confrontations in the center of the street continued. There were running battles along the large commercial street with violent assaults outside a Kosher luncheonette and running battles down a residential street in the Jewish neighborhood.

The terrorist hate rally was not an aberration, It’s become the new normal.

On Thursday, Hamas supporters showed up at Congregation Shaarey Zedek (Gates of Righteousness) in the San Fernando Valley formerly attended by Ben Shapiro, yelling abuse at parents taking their children to school. Other Jewish schools have been similarly targeted.

Beginning with the assault on the Museum of Tolerance when it was screening a documentary on the Oct 7 massacre to the violence at UCLA, it has played out this way for 8 months.

The LAPD has consistently failed to secure protest zones, to separate different groups of protesters and to prevent violence, and only steps in when it escalates past a set point. That point usually comes when the Jewish counterprotesters start fighting back. And then the LAPD begins arresting both sides while politicians, including Mayor Bass, deplore the violence.

Media accounts, especially from the Los Angeles Times, CNN and the JTA, falsely characterize the violence as coming from the Jewish counterprotesters rather than the terrorist supporters.

I had previously heard first person accounts from people who were assaulted while the police and security at UCLA did nothing, but now I saw it for myself. And after 8 months of the same thing, it’s hard to believe that it’s simple incompetence or that a major urban police force has no idea how to handle the same kind of protests and is incapable of figuring out how to do so.

Especially when it’s been standard procedure by other urban police forces.

The LAPD is clearly aware of the potential for violence because it sends out offices in riot gear. But rather than engaging in proactive policing to prevent violence, they stand passively and wait for orders from higher up before taking any action. This is not normal policing during protests and counter protests when the standard doctrine is for police to set up barriers and stand between groups of protesters before they bring out the riot gear. But the LAPD brings out the riot gear, allows the radicals free rein and waits as long as possible before taking any action.

Why is this happening? I previously reported that Mayon Karen Bass is a close political ally of BLM LA boss Melina Abdullah, who has backed the pro-terrorist campaign against Jews. When Jews were attacked at UCLA, Democrat members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed a motion to fund legal support for the terrorist supporters. The resolution to use taxpayer money to fund legal defenses for antisemites was put forward by Supervisor Lindsey Horvath who ‘represents’ CD3 where the synagogue hate riot was taking place. After all the antisemitic violence at UCLA, the only one facing serious charges is a Jewish student.

The Democrat leadership of Los Angeles does not stand with the Jewish communities being targeted by hate, but with the antisemitic mobs surrounding synagogues.

Behind the masks, keffiyehs and the terrorist flags is the new Democratic Party.

First Muslim Senator Keeps California a Sexual Abuse Sanctuary State

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

In California, it’s okay to shoplift or solicit sex from a minor. Both are misdemeanors which means that they’re hardly even worth prosecuting.

That’s why less than 10 miles from the dark dome of the California State Capitol building, the state’s inferior copy of the U.S. Capitol, lies the ‘Blade’ where children are sold into sex slavery.

One study estimated that there were over 13,000 victims in Sacramento, the state’s capital, in past years. That included an estimated 1,600 minors: some as young as only 12 years old.

And the numbers are incomplete because many will never be freed since the perpetrators, those who sell and solicit them, continue to be protected by California’s political elites. Little girls are being sold outside into sex slavery within driving distance of the Capitol building with the complicity of the legislators comfortably and profitably running the state on the inside.

California’s pro-crime policies helped decriminalize soliciting minors for sex, along with shoplifting and many other crimes, and activists have been trying to criminalize it again. After several rounds of legislation were blocked by California pro-crime leftists, Senate Bill 1414 appeared to be on the verge of sailing through. A bipartisan piece of legislation, it already had a promise of support from Gov. Newsom and conservatives and anti-trafficking groups behind it.

But by the time that Sen. Susan Eggman took to the Senate floor and blasted her party, the pro-crime contingent had successfully managed to undermine the child protection bill yet again.

“I’d like to say as a progressive, proud member of this body for the last 12 years, I’m done. I’m done with us protecting people who would buy and abuse our children. I’m done,” she fumed.

“I don’t want to send more black and brown men to prison. I don’t want more people in prison, but I don’t want people buying girls. I don’t want people buying little girls anymore. I’m tired of saying it’s okay and that we have to protect the men who do it.”

Who was protecting the men buying little girls? Sen. Eggman’s colleagues.

Those colleagues allegedly included Sen. Aisha Wahab, the first Afghan or Muslim senator, who had joined with her political allies to amend Senate Bill 1414 to protect those soliciting 16-year-olds for sex. Worse still, the process weakened the punishment for child predators.

“Today, the Senate Public Safety Committee refused to pass my bill to send child sex buyers to prison. Instead of making the buying of kids a felony with prison time, the committee forced me to take amendments I didn’t agree with and watered down my bill to allow a fine or minimum county jail time,” Sen. Shannon Grove, a Republican who was behind the bill, spoke out.

Previous compromises with pro-crime Democrats had already weakened the penalties so that only two-time offenders with an age difference of at least ten years would end up on the sex offender registry, but Sen. Grove drew the line at protecting those who solicit 16-year-olds for sex. The ‘hostile’ amendments were added anyway.

Sen. Wahab shut down efforts to bring more witnesses to testify in support of the bill.

“Solicitation is not trafficking. Solicitation is not prostitution. Solicitation is a verbal request of an action in exchange for money that is usually sexual in nature,” the first Afghan Muslim politician had argued.

And the resulting bill, according to Sen. Grove, allows child sexual solicitation to “still be charged as a misdemeanor, punishable by as little as 2 days in jail OR up to a $10,000 fine.”

“Are you forcing these amendments on me, Madam Chair?” Sen. Grove had asked.

“Most likely, yes,” Sen. Wahab retorted.

And that made them ‘hostile amendments’ which protected men buying young girls.

It was fitting then that Sen. Aisha Wahab was named after the historical Islamic figure of Aisha, the 7-year-old ‘child bride’ of Mohamed, the founder of Islam, whom he married and raped.

Protecting sex predators was the latest controversial move by Sen. Aisha Wahab who had only been elected in 2022, but has managed to infuriate community members with some ugly moves.

Wahab, who claims to be the “First Afghan Woman in the Nation to Be Elected to Public Office”, had previously advanced a ‘Hinduphobic’ ‘caste discrimination bill’ targeting Hindus. Indian-Americans in Wahab’s district responded to the Anti-Hindu effort by the only Muslim senator with a recall campaign that was, like a number of such community efforts, sabotaged by the Democratic political machine which had protected the radical Muslim leftist politician.

“It’s disappointing to see that this is their third attempt, based on the fact that I carried a bill about civil rights and they’re not happy with it,” the Muslim politician blasted Hindus.

Joining the Hindu recall effort were district members upset over Wahab’s support for criminals. And they say that her tampering with efforts to protect children is only the latest example of it.

Sen. Aisha Wahab had previously run for Congress and has her sights set on national office. Meanwhile the sex trafficking in the victims, whom Sen. Wahab cruelly abandoned, goes on.

While Muslim ‘sex grooming gangs’ are something that Americans tend to associate with British cities, a Justice Department report had previously warned about sex trafficking across the border involving not only Latin American gangs, but “Iranians, Pakistanis, Iraqi, Saudi, Russian, and Somali facilitators.” Most are traditionally groups that share Sen. Wahab’s Islamic religion.

One interview described a, “bunch of pimps” with “infrastructure like a gang” with “Saudis mostly, one is Iranian and one is Pakistani.” That resembles similar setups involving Muslim sex grooming gangs operating in the UK.

How bad is America’s ‘sex grooming gang’ problem? We may never know because California continues to serve as a ‘sanctuary state for sexual abuse. After a prolonged battle to crack down on sex trafficking, a crackdown on sexual solicitation has been averted thanks to Sen. Wahab.

England is Disappearing

Muslim vote growing Some of us won’t be around to see this, but in two generations, much of Europe might be Muslim. (Some say sooner.) This won’t happen due to war, but due to invitation and now votes.

According to the United Kingdom’s 2021 Census, Muslim is the second-largest religion with 6.5 percent of the population. Within Great Britain, London has the largest population of Muslims. In London, Labour’s Mayor Sadiq Khan won a third term.  In addition to the London mayoral race, other local elections throughout Great Britain handed defeat to many Conservative candidates.

Nigel Farage, former leader of the UK Independence Party and Brexit Party, sees sectarian politics as Great Britain’s future. He recently said:

“There have been no democratic elections in Gaza for nearly 20 years, yet Gaza is being voted on in English towns and cities. What a mess we have allowed ourselves to become. Sectarian politics is here to stay. We now have Islamic voting in Britain, which over the course of the next decade will give Labour a very, very big headache.”

The Great Replacement is Here, Now!

This article was inspired by a speech by  Eva Vlaardingerbroek at #CPACHungary stating the establishment is losing its mind as she spoke the forbidden truth: The Great Replacement is no longer a theory - it’s reality.

By Rich Kozlovich

"White Europeans are being replaced in their own countries at an ever accelerating rate and it will mean the end of our civilization if we don’t turn things around."

What we're seeing are violent and dangerous conflicts at a level not seen before.  Why?  Because this is an imported problem.  As a result of this insane attitude regarding multiculturalism, and social responsibility we're seeing mass uncontrolled migration from failed primitive tribal societies with ethnic, cultural, and religious values which are totally antithetical to western civilization.  

This is an ethnic culture problem so massive and so pervasive, since they've brought their tribal conflicts to Europe and the United States, and these migrants are blatantly antisemitic, anti Christian, and anti white, anti-western civilization, and they and their leftist enablers are using our own values against us, and all of that is blatantly obvious to the most casual observer!  So, it that's true, and it is, why is it then western civilization seems to be indifferent to our own destruction?   We've seen murder, rape, and destruction at unrepresented levels, and nothing changes.  We're capitulated to these savages in fear of being called  racists, xenophobes, and more, all that's left to do is accept dhimmitude status and surrender totally.   

All of which has been promoted and promulgated by a corrupt globalist elite, and they're imposing destructive rules, regulations, and taxes to make it happen, and the demographics is against whites and Christians, and these misfit elite globalists are even saying that's a good thing.  

In some of Europe's nations they're either already demographically past the point of no return, or on the verge of it.  In many of Europe's major cities, the ethnic white population is substantially outnumbered by non whites and non Christians from Africa and the Middle East.  And a substantial number of them are on government dole. 

Diversity isn't our friend, it's the true viral pandemic destroying civilization.  No Muslim controlled nation in the world would tolerate the very thing they're demanding from Europe and America.    

America has been subject to the outrageous anti white lies and leftist secular religious neo-paganism of Marxism and Critical Race Theory, all of which is an organized international attack on Western civilization.  The E.U. cannot be reformed, it must be eliminated, and that goes for the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund,  the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the

David Prentice states time is running out to save Western civilization, saying:

What we face as a nation is daunting; if we do not correct our left-leaning course, we will fall into the ashbin of history.  The city on the hill.  Gone.  The U.S. is moving quickly towards a centralized state.  Our liberties, our culture, and our national greatness are being subverted.  Subverted by a corrupt, clever, twisted, amorphous blob of powerful people.  Most of the old media, the new technocratic media (i.e.,:  Facebook and Google), one entire political party, part of the other party, along with the unelected bureaucracies and spy agencies of the U.S. are all a part of this blob.   Evil that’s difficult to overcome. 

And why is all this evil difficult to overcome?  We have nitwits passing massively expensive bills like the Ukraine-Israel Aid Bill, "which includes $3.5 Billion to fast track mass migration from Middle East nations, and s $481 million to settle migrants in U.S. cities."
 
As you watch the antisemitic pro Hamas insanity taking place on America's college campuses, we must come to the realization these misfit protesters of today are America's terrorists of tomorrow, and we're coming close to the point of no return. 
 
As for the future?  Well, as has been noted over and over again, "prediction is really hard, especially about the future".  Stop trying to predict it.  Create it!

Ever More Audacious Efforts To Suppress Mainstream Conservative Speech

@ Manhattan Contrarian

You are undoubtedly familiar with many efforts of the fascist left to use its control of government offices, bureaucracies, and other institutions to delegitimize and silence mainstream conservative speech: things like the Censorship Industrial Complex, otherwise known as pressure by government functionaries to induce social media platforms to shut down wrongthink on topics ranging from Covid to climate change to Trump; de-monetization of perfectly reasonable sites like PJ Media or Watts Up With That; the political prosecutions of presumptive Republican nominee Trump, including locking him in a courtroom to prevent him from campaigning; and many more such.

This week along comes a new and quite extreme instance that you may have missed. A European group called the National Conservatives scheduled a two-day conference for Tuesday and Wednesday in Brussels. The signature issue of the National Conservative movement is immigration, which they want to restrict; but beyond that their Conference appeared to feature a wide range of voices from Europe’s right, including some prominent elected officials. 

Examples of speakers were Nigel Farage of the UK (one of the leaders of the Brexit movement, and now leading a political party in the UK called the Reform Party, that looks likely to win significant seats when the next election is held); Suella Braverman, a Conservative MP in the UK, and recently, if briefly, the Home Secretary (which is one of the top cabinet positions); Eric Zemmour of France, head of a political party called “ReconquĂŞte!”, and winner of about 7% of the votes in the last presidential election; and Viktor Orban, current (and since 2010) Prime Minister of Hungary.

And then what happened next? Several “mayors” of Brussels attempted to shut the conference down. (It appears that Brussels has multiple mayors, one guy who has some overall jurisdiction, and then separate mayors for each of many smaller districts that make up the city.). The New York Times has a piece here; and an independent journalist named Melanie Phillips, who is based in Israel and was one of the scheduled speakers, has a piece here. The two pieces present very similar facts, but Ms. Phillips’s piece is more detailed. The title of Ms. Phillips’s piece is “The Brussels Gangster State.”

First, Ms. Phillips describes the National Conservative movement:

National Conservatism, a movement underpinned by the thinking of the Israeli-American philosopher Yoram Hazony,  promotes the nation state and the defence of its historic values against the nihilism of the post-moral, anti-western and anti-human ideologies that pass for much progressive thinking.

You can understand why people on the left would disagree with that. But instead they consider it so extreme that it must be silenced. Here is the technique:

Bowing to left-wing protests, a Socialist Party Brussels mayor, Philippe Close  — who last year invited Tehran mayor Alireza Zakani, a member of Iran's tyrannical Islamist regime, for an official visit — pressured the NatCons’ venue, Concert Noble, to cancel the event. Concert Noble, a high-end event space, duly caved.

The conference organizers were sent on a scramble to get a new venue. They came up with a second venue, a hotel called Sofitel. And then a second Brussels mayor (also of the Socialist Party) pressured that venue to throw out the conference, and it too caved.

And then at the very last minute, the organizers came up with yet a third venue. And yet a third Socialist Brussels mayor got into the act to try to get that venue to cancel:

With remarkable persistence and determination, the organisers located a third conference venue, a nightclub called Claridge. They worked most of Monday night setting up from scratch all the equipment, food and other supplies necessary for a two-day conference. By the time the conference registration opened at 8 am on Tuesday morning, it was all up and running — a formidable achievement.  This was, however, far from the end of the story. For yet another Socialist Party Brussels mayor, Emir Kir, issued an order  to shut down the conference.

This third mayor is Emir Kir. Ms. Phillips quotes the reasons given by Mr. Kir to seek cancellation of the conference:

[NatCon’s] vision is not only ethically conservative (e.g. hostility to the legalisation of abortion, same-sex unions, etc.) but also focused on the defence of “national sovereignty”, which implies, amongst other things, a “Eurosceptic” attitude…. He also said that some of the speakers “are reputed to be traditionalists” and that the conference must be banned “to avoid foreseeable attacks on public order and peace”.

So when the conference opened on Tuesday, police officers showed up at the behest of Mr. Kir and “demand[ed] a shutdown with ‘immediate effect’ on the grounds that the opinions of Farage, Braverman and other speakers could lead to public disorder.”

The owner of the third venue, a Tunisian-Belgian named Yassaad Ben Yaghlane, stood his ground. The conference organizers turned cameras on the police to embarrass them into not shutting the conference down. By Tuesday afternoon, the Prime Minister of Belgium, Alexander de Croo (a center-right politician, not part of the Socialist Party), had weighed in on the side of having the conference go forward. But Kir would not back down. The conference organizers then went to court to get an injunction, which was initially denied. And then they went to an appeals court:

[T]he NatCons’ lawyers filed a plea to a more senior court, in a final attempt to get some sense out of the Brussels judiciary. At 2 am on Wednesday morning, that court ruled against the mayor.  The barricade was lifted. The conference could go ahead as planned.

Really, what are these people so afraid of? Actually, the answer is simple: the right wing and anti-immigration parties look to be gaining significant ground in the European elections scheduled for early June.

It is likely that the antics of the three Socialist mayors of Brussels will backfire in terms of the political effect they were hoping for. The Times quotes Nigel Farage:

“This is what we are up against. We are up against an evil ideology. We are up against a new form of communism,” declared Nigel Farage of Britain. Mr. Farage, a former member of the European Parliament and a champion of national sovereignty, who helped drive his country’s exit from the European Union, was getting ready to speak when the authorities arrived. “This is like the old Soviet Union. No alternative view allowed,” he said.

UPDATE, April 19: SOMEWHAT RELATED: You may have seen that after Columbia University President Nemat Shafik testified before Congress on Wednesday, Columbia then finally called the cops on Thursday to clear anti-Israel protesters who had set up encampments in its main quadrangle and who were blocking access to parts of the campus and classes. However, don’t confuse that action by Columbia with its restricting the ability of these protesters to continue to protest. In fact, the protests continue — just in places where they are not obstructing campus activities, at least not too much.

Yesterday evening, after the police had cleared the obstructing protesters on the Columbia campus, I had occasion to walk by the main entrance to the campus at Broadway and 116th Street. There was a small (perhaps 50 people) but loud protest in progress just outside the gate, with the usual slogans being shouted (“Free, Free Palestine!”; “No Justice, No Peace!”). Several police were present, but not interfering. To enter the campus via the main gate, you would have had to walk through the protesters, who were somewhat threatening. I suppose you could have done it, but in a few minutes observing, I didn’t see anybody trying. (There are other gates for entering the campus, but this is the main one.)

When I headed home a little after 10 PM, the protest seemed to have finally dissipated, at least for the night. And then there turned up on the subway, sitting across from me, three kaffiyeh-sporting young women, apparently heading home themselves after a long day of demonstrating.

 
I don’t have any problem with these people having their demonstrations, however idiotic. I just think the same rules should apply to everybody.

Sweden's Leadership Just Now Grasp Their Immigration Polices Are Disastrous

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags:

Today, April 17, 2024, Olivia Murray published this article, Swedish MP who previously fought for open borders does a ‘spectacular u-turn’ and argues for deportations for migrants devouring her homeland saying:

“I have changed my mind on the matter,” said Louise Meijer, a Swedish Member of Parliament who was once a vocal supporter of open borders and mass arrivals—but as Thomas Brooke of Remix News writes, Meijer has undertaken a “spectacular u-turn” and is now calling for “strict immigration, deportations, and reparation” policies to combat the “fundamental” transformation of her beloved Sweden....... ‘mass immigration has been followed by several major problems.’.............‘serious, organized crime is committed to a large extent by people with foreign assets,’ that large groups of immigrants are ‘not self-sufficient,’ and that the ‘culture of honor, separatism, and Islamism is limiting and dangerous.’

Islam is limiting and dangerous?  Really?  Amazing, and she's just now discovered that?   And we only have a mere 1500 years of Islamic history that's testimony to just how vile and dangerous Islam really is to western civilization.  And she just noticed. 

She previously opposed any restrictions on immigration, and now she's shocked, shocked I tell you, (I do love channeling Captain Renault) to find all these Muslims from Africa and the Middle East are "fundamentally" changing the country.  I think to say they're changing the country is grossly unfair and totally inappropriate.  They're destroying Sweden.  Here are some of the examples listed by Olivia:

  • Sweden: Lethal violence in 2020 at highest level ever; number of reported rapes rises considerably
  • Sweden: Two migrant background men torture and rape two boys in a cemetery for nearly 10 hours
  • Sweden: 4 Eritreans who gang-raped 40-year-old Swedish woman will not be deported
  • Iraqi duo who urinated on and gang raped woman on cruise ship to remain in Sweden as court says they have ‘integrated’
  • Sweden: Syrian national who raped 12-year-old girl in a public toilet sentenced to gender talks; avoids deportation and jail time

And if you read my commentaries, which I've linked below, you will see that's just the tip of the iceberg.  We need to grasp this fundamental truth. Muslims are migrating to western societies but they will not integrate because they're still fundamentally medieval tribal societies afflicted with:

"Centuries-old mindset of barbarism with a totally different “value” system than the Judeo-Christian morality of the West, who subscribe to an ideology that commands the killing of non-Muslims, don’t exactly “mesh” well with the European people and their European culture."

I've written about the insanity of Swedish leadership for over ten years, so it isn't as if this is a discovery of previously unknown facts about the disaster their immigration polices created.  And just now she's discovered that she and her colleagues have been wrong right from the beginning.  

Well, I find that mind boggling, since I'm not from Sweden, never been to Sweden, and I'm a retired 40 veteran of the structural pest control industry, and yet I've known for many years what she's just discovered.   I think it well to ask:  If the bugman knows this stuff, all of which should have been obvious to the most casual observer, how could this foolish person not know it?  Answer: Ideology makes smart people stupid!

However, not all the people of Sweden were as stupid as she. One Swedish lady commented on one of my articles saying:

I’m a swede and you have made perfect analyses of the whole situation. I prefer to say that ppl over here literally have sold their souls to Satan himself. If we don’ t vote for sane leaders in next election we will lose our country, we will find ourselves in an open war. Two nights ago a Swedish man who tried to prevent a robbery in a hotel-restaurant was killed with a machete-knife. Jihad is here already and it is difficult not to hate our political leaders and the Satanic Authorities which protect the killers and rapists and leave the victims bleeding both bodily and spiritually. It is tragic to lose your country, it is a nightmare... God bless you, Sir, telling the world the truth. 

These "leaders" were supposed to be shepherds that protect their flock.  Yet what they did was turn wolves loose into the flock, and their corrupted "system of justice" has been part and parcel of the horrors these wolves perpetrated.  

And this nitwit just now noticed, remarkable. 

Well, finally reality has set in as Swedish Nationalists Call for Declaration of War on Gangs After Father Shot Dead in Front of Son:

A father was shot in the head by a gang of youths in front of his 12-year-old son in Sweden on Wednesday evening — an inexplicable attack that has brought the rise in criminal gang activity to the forefront of the country’s political discourse.  The man in his 40s and his son were cycling towards the local swimming pool in Skärholmen, southern Stockholm, when they were confronted by a gang of young people near an underpass...........“Musty old arguments about socio-economic factors . . . should go in the trash immediately."

While "reality" is seemingly setting in, please notice there's no mention of the race, or ethnicity of these "gangs".  I wonder if they've really grasped reality?  Or perhaps they're unwilling to grasp reality in fear of being called names, like racists, xenophobe, and the list is almost endless.  Well boys, if you're really serious, then grow a back bone and start attacking these monsters head on.    No guts, no glory!!!

We Are the Victims and Everything We Do is Justified

By @ Sultan Knish Blog

At the heart of everything from the debate over the Gaza War to DEI to toxic interpersonal relationships is a disastrous loop known as the “self-reinforcing victim/villain” cycle.

The self-reinforcing victim/villain cycle is a deceptively simple and incredibly destructive paradigm for any kind of relationship, national, communal or personal, in which one party constantly attacks the other while claiming that it is the victim fighting against oppression.

The paradigm is guided by the idea that there is a permanently fixed victim and villain, that the victim is constantly suffering attacks from the villain and that anything the victim does is justified because he or she has no agency except to resist the assaults of the villain.

While some Hamas supporters have lied or tried to cover up the atrocities of Oct 7, Ghazi Hammad, a Hamas official, initially denied them, but then burst out with, “the existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood, and tears. It is Israel, not us. We are the victims of the occupation. Period. Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do. On October 7, October 10, October 1,000,000 – everything we do is justified.”

“We are the victims”, “nobody should blame us” and “everything we do is justified” perfectly capture the cruel workings of the cycle. So many westerners have sided with Hamas because they accept, incorporate and make use of the same cycle in their own politics and lives.

The very same arguments adapted from Marxism and therapy culture play out routinely in “whiteness” and “colonialist” discourse in America, Europe and other free world nations.

The “self-reinforcing victim/villain” cycle dispenses with arguments, evidence or any reasoned assessments of rights. These may occasionally be thrown in when convenient, but make no real difference because the central premise of the cycle is the lack of any objective standard that both sides have to meet. International law, racial tolerance, peace treaties or negotiations are invoked in a purely one-sided fashion. It is understood that the officially designated victim never has to abide by international law, to stop hating or to sincerely agree to stop the violence.

Any of the invoked appeals to any larger principle are usually rigged in such a way as to render mutuality meaningless. For example, racism has been redefined to mean racial hatred practiced by those with power, making them the officially designated villains, while racial hatred from victims has been designated “reverse racism”: a justified response to the racism of the majority.

Once again, “we are the victims”, “nobody should blame us” and “everything we do is justified”.

Similarly, international law is held to apply only to Israel as the “occupier” while no one can expect anything of the Muslim terrorists who are “occupied” and therefore have the right to “resist” by invading Israel and burning Jewish families alive in their own homes.

The perpetrators are omnipotent by virtue of being helpless, since they can do nothing, they can do everything, as victims of oppression they have no agency and also no restraint under any norms, either those of decency, humanity, the laws of war or any concept of right and wrong.

They cannot be asked not to rage, that’s “tone policing”, not to hate, that’s “reverse racism” or even not to kill because that’s “dictating to oppressed people the forms of their resistance”.

Whatever they do is not a reflection on their own morality, but on the oppression they suffer.

If they hate, it’s because they have been hated and if they kill, it’s because they have been killed. The worse the crimes they commit, the more we are told that the horrors they perpetrate are a reflection of the horrors they have suffered. When suicide bombers emerged on the scene, we were told that they were a sign of how desperate the killers must be after such suffering.

No crime, not even those committed on Oct 7, was allowed to be seen as a deliberate choice.

The moral numbness of the self-reinforcing victim/villain cycle has long haunted liberal minds. As Nazi Germany invaded Poland and began the process that would lead to the mass murder of millions of Jews, the poet W.H. Auden penned a hasty condemnation of Nazism, but threw in four lines that became the best known from the poem. “I and the public know/What all schoolchildren learn/Those to whom evil is done/Do evil in return.”

Those same four lines appear in disguised or undisguised form in every account of the Oct 7 attacks and in every account of the violence committed by leftists and their allies.

How often during the BLM riots were we treated to the MLK quote that, “a riot is the voice of the unheard” which was never intended to be a blank check for urban violence, but is used to shift the agency from the young men beating an old man in the street to the body at their feet.

The insistence that evil is a cycle not a choice, that the Nazis were victims rather than perpetrators, that every terrorist and rioter in the world could not do otherwise is an unlimited license for evil. And evil is not a cycle: it is a choice that each and every one of us makes.

Oct 7 is far from the first time that “we are the victims”, “nobody should blame us” and “everything we do is justified” licensed genocide. And it will certainly not be the last.

Why did so many radicals jump into supporting Hamas after Oct 7 rather than disavow it?

The atrocities did not alienate, they incited. The crimes offered the same heady promise that the Left had since the French Revolution of committing the worst possible crimes while being morally righteous because each horror was a response to the horrors visited upon them.

When there are no objective standards, all that remains are the propaganda narratives that justify violence. The self-reinforcing victim/villain cycle sheds standards. It asserts pain and suffering. It spends all of its time demonizing those it wishes to kill. And then it kills them.

The crybullies, the victims who kill, spend all of their time asserting their trauma, they project hate as pain, murderousness as trauma and assaults as resistance. Even as cities and countries burn, they always talk about themselves while raging when anyone mentions the damage.

Attempting to find common ground with them is futile. Proposals for reforms or compromises are treated as admissions of guilt. Negotiations are blown up because the professional victims don’t want a deal, they want to continue the hate and violence, and they only use negotiations to assert their endless suffering which can only be remedied with the destruction of their targets.

Some attempt to meet them blow for blow, by asserting their own victimhood, and yet this strategy is bound to fail because the underlying premise of the self-reinforcing victim/villain cycle is the “punching up” and “punching down” one of wokeness that only some people’s pain and some people’s lives matter, that those who have “power” are always perpetrators, and those who claim to be “powerless” are always their victims no matter who is actually doing what.

No matter how much those charged with having “power”,deny it, back away from it, leave, turn over control, and cut deals, the underlying dynamic can never be allowed to change anywhere.

Pro-Israel activists, especially liberal ones, still don’t understand this dynamic and are pained and shocked at how their former allies can justify mass murder and rape at a music festival. But the answer is that it’s the same way that supporters of BLM justified torching cities. The self-reinforcing victim/villain cycle rejects any morality except assertions of powerlessness.

Whoever has the most power is accused of setting the cycle into motion and can never assert innocence again even as the Nazis are goose stepping their way into Poland.

What is the answer to the self-reinforcing victim/villain cycle’s endless “you made me do it”?

Giving up power isn’t the answer. Some adopt a Stockholm Syndrome strategy of admitting guilt and promising to “do better”, they clamor to be “allies” and loudly denounce their own people. But when the violence begins, the Stockholmers don’t do any better than anyone else. Whether it’s the Hamas attacks or BLM riots, the appeasers and the apologists were caught up in them.

Some died.

An argument cannot be won by arguing using the self-reinforcing victim/villain cycle’s rules. It is important to think back to a time before the cultural poison reduced every exchange to Marxist logic and social media narcissism when we actually knew what right and wrong looked like.

And the only way to do that is by demolishing the cult of victimhood.

Right and wrong are not determined by expressions of pain. While some people may have more power than others, no one is truly powerless or lacks agency. Whatever happens, everyone has a choice in how they respond to it. That choice defines who they are for as long as they keep making it. People are not the products of impersonal forces, but of those choices.

Anyone can be a victim, but no one has to choose to continue being one unless it’s a role they want to play. And anyone from narcissists to aspiring tyrants finds that to be a useful role.

Most of those who assert victimhood were never victims at all. The most malignant victimhood behavior comes from the powerful and the privileged who use it to claim moral immunity. Lenin came from a noble family and Castro was the son of a plantation owner. Osama bin Laden came from a billionaire family. Hamas had its origins in high officials who were displaced by the fall of the Ottoman Empire and whose families have become millionaires through terrorism.

Every evil movement, including the Nazis, claimed to be the victims, but they’re only the victims of their own thwarted ambitions. Today’s totalitarians who claim to be victims are like them the victims of their futile dreams of conquest and of grinding everyone else under their boots.

My Gazette: Muslim Immigration Has Consequences, Part II

By Rich Kozlovich, Also See, My Gazette: Islam and Western Cultural Suicide

Europe is committing cultural, economic, and social suicide with all the non-European immigrants, especially if they're Muslims, and that's not an exaggeration, because this level of mass migration is beyond control. If Europe is no longer safe for ethnic Europeans, where will they migrate to?  In Sweden over 50% of Swedes would consider moving because once safe and largely crime free Sweden is no longer safe, and the crime statistics are off the charts.   
 
Sweden has totally lost it's societal harmony.  Multiculturalism is destroying Sweden as well as the rest of Europe, and what are the leaders of Europe doing about it?  They're censoring anyone who exposes it or stands in opposition to the EU's insane immigration policies. 
 
History is everything and here is one incontestable fact of history.   In a war between the wimps and the barbarians, the barbarians will win every time.  If a people will not defend their society, that society will cease to exist, and become a subservient component of the barbarians, and Muslims are barbarians with a religious zeal to dominate, control, or destroy any who are not ...Them!

Viktor Orban, Hungary's Prime minister gave a speech and stated, "The Hegemony of the West has Ended, A New World Order is Emerging" saying:

“The hegemony of the West has come to an end; no one doubts this today, as it is well supported by data,” Orbán stated, pointing to the emergence of a new geopolitical era. ............. “There is very little room for maneuver in being part of a bloc, which is why it is in Hungary’s interest to be a member of the European Union and NATO, but not part of a bloc.” This vision underpins Hungary’s strategy to bolster alliances with other sovereign nations, reinforcing its commitment to a distinct path within the international community.

Hungary has not and will not accept the mass immigration from the Middle East and Africa, in spite of the EU's threats and demands.  'The Hungarians point out that the EU’s immigration policies create insecurity and instability in many European countries. By admitting large numbers of illegal immigrants each year, the EU also encourages continued large non-European immigration to Europe.  The facts are when you import Muslims, it means importing violence, and on an unprecedented scale.  And where exactly do these EU nitwits think they're going to be able to flee to when Europe is destroyed?

In February 2024, Norway’s public broadcaster NRK reported that rape centers all over Norway record more rape victims seeking aid. In the city of Oslo, the number has increased by 70 percent in ten years.  Many of these rape cases are said to be very serious.  What does NRK suggest is the reason for this massive increase in rapes? Porn. The channel published an article about rapes in which immigration was not mentioned as a possible explanation. This despite a proven link between immigration and rape that exists in neighboring Sweden as well as other countries.  This is simply not credible.  It is misleading propaganda.

And that includes imported African wars, as:
 
"The streets of The Hague in the Netherlands and Charlotte in the United States have become battlegrounds, highlighting a disturbing trend of violence erupting from Eritrean migrant gatherings. What began as cultural celebrations quickly descended into chaos, leaving cities scarred and authorities grappling with the aftermath. From Europe to America, the echoes of unrest reverberate....."

Europe's Invasion: Over 1.1 Million Asylum Applications in 2023, Dominated by Syrians - February 29, 2024 -   Most of the asylum seekers in Europe hailed from Syria, with over 1.1 million applications recorded in 2023, marking a significant surge compared to the previous year, according to a report by Exxpress News,.......Towards the end of the year, amidst the onset of the attacks on innocent Israelis in October, there was a notable rise in Palestinians seeking refuge in Europe. Among the European countries, Germany emerged as the most sought-after destination, with approximately 334,000 new applications registered between January and December 2023.

Former Border Chief Reveals He Was Ordered to Flood Europe with Illegals, saying: "two years after his departure, Fabrice Leggeri opens up about his time at the EU border guard agency, Frontex. As the boss, he desperately wanted to protect European borders against illegal migrants strictly, but according to him, this was explicitly halted by the European Commission", and now an EU spokesperson claims 'Arabic is a European language' on 'Mother Language Day'

How much violence, rape, murder, and rioting will go on before Europeans kick out the nitwits who've brought this on them?   Maybe never?  And it isn't just Europe.  Let's try to get this once, please. Islam isn't a religion.  Islam is a criminal, political movement masquerading as a religion. "There are fifty-six officially Muslim states, virtually all of them dictatorships..." Once you grasp that, everything falls into place.   

Exploding The Myth That Islam Is An Abrahamic ReligionSha'i ben-Tekoa - Starting with the lies told within Islam, everything about the Koran is antithetical to the Bible’s ethical monotheism........ And indeed, the behavior of Muslims throughout history and certainly in our time reveals them not to be the progeny of a kind man, for they are masters of cruelty, being head-choppers, mutilators, and skyjackers, with a particular appetite for raping and the satanic torture of women.

 Australia

Islamic Preacher Begins Australia Tour Encouraing 'Martyrdom' to Youth, Railing Against Western Democracy and Targeting Kiffirs. - Australia, akin to numerous Western nations, hesitates to confront the evident intentions of Islamic supremacists to conquer non-Muslims, thereby failing to address the looming threats they pose. A Muslim preacher’s provocative speaking tour across Australia has ignited a firestorm of debate, with his inflammatory Islamic rhetoric drawing both condemnation and support from fellow jihadis. Sheikh Abu Bakr Zoud’s 14-date lecture series, titled ‘Nurturing Hearts and Minds,’ commenced in Melbourne and Sydney amidst controversy over his controversial statements and associations. 

Outcry as Australian Conference Caves to Hamas Sympathizers, Axes Jewish Mental Health Leader - Robert Gregory, CEO of the Australian Jewish Association, lambasted the organizers’ actions as ‘a stain on Australia’s reputation,’ likening them to the boycotts faced by Jewish academics during the Nazi era. The Frontline Mental Health Conference in Australia’s Gold Coast has faced intense criticism for excluding Dr. Moshe Farchi, a leading Jewish trauma expert. Organizers withdrew his invitation just days before the event, even though he had been invited six months earlier and had already arrived in Australia. Dr. Farchi is well-known as the head of the Stress, Trauma, and Resilience Studies at Tel-Hai College in Israel. This decision has ignited accusations of antisemitism against the conference.......

AUSTRIA

Austria: 17 Migrant Youths, Known to Police, Repeatedly Gang Rape and Blackmail 12-Year-Old. - Amy Mek March 2, 2024 - All 17 suspects, all known to police, reportedly showed no remorse or guilt, have been released from police custody, and are now at large.  It is one of the most severe recorded cases of abuse in the federal capital. At least 17 suspects are being investigated for the repeated rape of a twelve-year-old girl. According to reports, the crimes began at the beginning of 2023 and lasted for months. In numerous instances of mass rapes, up to eight suspects, some of whom were children, attacked the child victim in various locations. These included a parking garage, multiple stairwells, a central train station, and the Viennese apartment of a 15-year-old boy’s parents. Mass rapes filmed with cell phones...... 

Belgium

Belgium Foils Islamic Attack: Four Muslim Teenagers Arrested for Alleged Concert Hall Jihad.
“This foiled attack brings back painful memories of previous IS attacks, specifically the deadly attack on the Bataclan in Paris in 2015 that killed 89 concertgoers, and the thought that such a tragedy could happen again almost ten years later is shocking.” – stated Flemish MP Ortwin Depoortere of the Vlaams Belang party.  Belgian authorities have detained four Muslim males, including three minors aged between 15 and 18, suspected of having ties with Islamic jihadist groups and planning a terrorist attack. According to statements from the Belgian Public Prosecution Service, the arrests were made during coordinated searches conducted in Brussels, Ninove, Charleroi, and Liège.

Hijacked: Flemish Parliament Stormed by Pro-Terrorism Protesters, One MP Stands to Defend Israel (Video)- Amidst the chaos, Vlaams Belang MP Sam Van Rooy, representing Belgium’s only true conservative party, boldly stepped forward armed with an Israeli flag to directly engage with the radicals. The Flemish Parliament faced a disruption as pro-Palestinian/Hamas protesters stormed the premises, leading to a temporary suspension of proceedings and sparking controversy. The incident, occurring on an ordinary Wednesday afternoon, saw dozens of individuals occupying the public gallery, chanting disruptively, throwing leaflets, and waving Palestinian flags. This led to swift intervention by military police and the suspension of the parliamentary session.

Canada: Muslims Shouting 'Allahu Akbar', Chanting 'Death to Israel, Death to Jews' - Despite Yair Szlak, CEO of Federation CJA, urgently calling for Canadian intervention against increasing attacks on Montreal’s Jews by leftist and Islamic supremacists, the continued targeting on Monday starkly highlights the community’s insufficient protection. In Montreal on Monday, March 4, 2024, a deeply concerning protest erupted as pro-Hamas demonstrators targeted the entrance to the Federation CJA building and the Holocaust Museum to prevent Jewish community members from attending a scheduled event. The violent mob, chanting the Islamic war cry “Allahu Akbar,” surrounded the Jewish community’s central building in CĂ´te-des-Neiges, where an event titled “Israeli Perspective: Coming to Life” was being held. This not only threatened the safety of Jewish Montrealers but also included calls of “Death to Israel, Death to the Jews,” further escalating tensions in the city.

In Germany, a problem of clan crime among its migrants - March 16, 2024 By Eva Kneifel
In Germany, there is clan crime among its migrants. So what is it?  It began with large number of migrants from Lebanon in the 1980s. Although many say it is not a problem, the numbers tell a different story. Many clans came from the Turkish area around the ancient city of Mardin in southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border, and belong to the Arabic-speaking Mhallami tribal ethnic group. Turkey under the Byzantines and Ottomans and even under the rulers that followed was always tyrannical so was no social advancement and no prosperity. In the 1940s, economic-related migration began, first to Lebanon, but there was no social and economic integration there, either.......
