Rant #3,709: What's Going On

That completely despicable incident in Boulder, Colorado--where an idiot Hamas sympathizer threw Molatov cocktails at innocent Jewish marchers, manybif them elderly, and setting them ablaze--was yet another incident demonstrating that the intifada is here, and all of us--Jew and non-Jew alike--must be fully aware of this situation.

The perpetrator came from Egypt, let his visa lapse, and was here illegally for the past three months or so.

He decided to set ablaze Jews marching for the release of the remaing histages--and dead bodies--still in the possession of the terrorist Hamas group.

And while throwing one explosive device after another at this peaceful crowd, he yelled "Free Palestine" as he mercilessly carried out his devious plan--

And told police that he didn't regret anything he did, and, in fact, would do it again.

And most of the world had little or no comment about this horrid incident.

It is easy to say that this has to stop, but how can it be stopped?

I really don't know, to be honest with you.

The media continues to spread horrid lies about Israel, the latest of which is that Isrselis were shooting at Palestnians as they strove to get food.

CNN, among others, picked up on this lie, without any fact checking, which would have shown that Israelis were not doing the shooting, if there was any shooting done at all.

When the media reports total falsehoods, it is difficult to combat what they say, even if it is wrong.

The word gets out, and like the game of telephone, it gets out in one form and grows tentacles as the word moves on.

And we need to fully acknowledge that Hamas are terrorists, not militants as the media would have us believe.

They constantly paint themselves as the victim against Israel, and it is truly amazing how many people buy into this.

Funny how people forget that Hamas started this war by their subhuman actions on October 7, 2023.

The world should have condemned that action right then and there, and they did not. Heck, the United Nations have never officially condemned the actions of Hamas, but they, of course, and the world at large, has plenty to say when Israel takes actions to defend itself 

Back to Hamas ... they have had hostages since they started this war--even dead bodies--they use their own people as human shields, and they steal food intended for supposedly innocent Palestinians.

But back to our own country--

How do we stop the intifada from encroaching on the American way of life?

First, we must admit that Islam is not a peaceful religion.

It has been proven time and time again what an idiotic assessment this is.

What other religion treats others like they do?

We must also strengthen the vetting system for visas, students or otherwise.

There should be a pause on issuing these visas to anyone on a specific list of Arab countries, simply because people coming here from those countries simply cannot be trusted to behave when they come to America.

We cannot undue what was done via the visa process in the past, but we can stop it from festering to a level even worse than it is today.

And the media must change its ways, which might be the most difficult thing of all to do.

I do not know specially what ails the media, but its anti-Jewish and anti-Israel rhetoric is appalling--and it has spread like wildfire. 

We have young people who have no idea what the Holpcaust is. May was Jewish Anerican Heritage Month, and this celebration was completely ignored by the media.

Why?

Jews must not be afraid in their own communities.

I just heard that someone in Manhattan was punched in the face simply because he was Jewish. Again, the perpetrators shouted "Free Palestine. "

Anti-Jewish hate crimes represent 56 percent of all hate crimes registered in New York City.

Those two young Isrseli diplomats were gunned down by another "Free Palestine" Hamas groupie.

These horrid incidents have to stop here in our country, but the fact of the matter is that they are happening not just here, but in just about every supposedly civilized country of the world. 

Yes, the intifada has come to those countries, too.

It has to stop.

And why do some people not understand what "Never Again" means?

It is, after all, not just a slogan.

Things must change. 

Anti-semitism must be rooted out.

Why does it exist to begin with?

Jealously, pure jealously, at what the Jewish people have been able to do in spite of all the hurdles.
