In France, two teachers have been murdered by Muslim students. So you can’t blame educators for being a little skittish: “Teachers strike after Muslim threats over nudes in art class.” Staff have gone on strike at a school near Paris saying they fear for their lives after Muslim pupils and parents voiced anger towards a teacher who displayed a Renaissance painting of nude women. This is the painting: The teacher

In his massive Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon was bound to encounter the Muslims and their prophet. Published in 1776, the great historian’s work proves relevant for current events in the Middle East. The sword, says Muhammad, is the key of heaven and hell. A drop of blood shed in the cause of God, a night spent in arms, is of more avail than two months

Ivy League college presidents and congressional Democrats aren’t the only ones having difficulty escaping a false moral equivalence between anti-Semitism and supposed “Islamophobia.” It’s a longstanding problem. Let’s revisit: As Americans, we are unified in our commitment to protect our country from terrorist attacks, and we must seek justice for those who lost their lives in the recent attacks in Paris and San Bernardino. That was California attorney general Kamala

The 10/7 attack, the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, has revived debate on the nature of Islam. Is it true that “Islam is peace,” as President George W. Bush said after 9/11? Or is it basically a jihad against all non-Muslims, starting with the Jews? Fortunately, these questions have been explored in an accessible and entertaining way. I could hear the muezzin calling the faithful to prayer but

Twenty thousand pro-genocide demonstrators turned out in Brussels to support Hamas. They are carrying yellow signs with black print that appear to have been provided by Amnesty International, which at one time was a good organization: One of the signs says “CIVILIANS MUST BE PROTECTED,” a common theme of these demonstrations. My question is: does the phrase cognitive dissonance mean anything to these people? Then we have this scene from

Today is Veterans Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom. Remembrance Day is a big deal, with poppies being a tradition that goes back many years. Pro-Hamas forces planned a major demonstration for today, and there was some talk of banning it out of respect for Remembrance Day. But that didn’t happen, and one of the largest demonstrations in London’s history, estimated between 150,000 and 500,000

Last night, a rampaging pro-Hamas mob took over much of Manhattan, stopping traffic and attacking Grand Central Station. This was the horrific scene at the station: “Mostly peaceful” https://t.co/iBBaLL0ey3 — Gigi NYC (@OnlyInNY111) November 11, 2023 Why are police officers “sheltering”? They carry firearms for a reason. And, once again, who are these people? Why are there enough pro-Hamas maniacs to take over New York City? Is this another failure

The root cause of the violence we have seen in Israel and Gaza over the past month is the sick culture that prevails in Gaza. Jew-hatred is the only value in that culture, and terror its only product. You can see the insane hate that prevails in Gaza in the video below. I don’t know whether the Israeli was killed in Israel and his body brought to Gaza for this

Noa Cochva won the Miss Israel/Universe pageant in 2021, the last year, sadly, of that pageant’s life. I am not sure whether she is currently serving in the IDF, but in the video below she wears a uniform and carries a rifle. (Steve, take note for an upcoming TWIP.) In simple form, she lays out the facts about Hamas, its tyranny over Gaza, and the horrific nature of its October

For they are burying the little ones/ And they are making the graves deep. They are burying the little ones/ And they make the graves deep. Now they killed all the little ones,/with their eyes open wide There was no one to help them/on the day that they died . . . That was Yusuf Islam, the former Cat Stevens, known for songs such as “Morning has Broken,” featured on

As much as anyone, Shani Louk became the face of Gaza’s vicious assault on Israel. She was a 23-year-old German-Israeli girl who also had lived in the United States. She attended the music festival (or “rave”) that was held close to the Gaza border and was attacked by terrorist paragliders, who hunted down and murdered more than 200 festival attenders. Louk became famous because of this short video, which showed

In the Russian Republic of Dagestan, which I learn is on the Caspian Sea east of Georgia and is more than 80% Muslim, a mob got word that an arriving flight from Tel Aviv had Jews on board, and attacked the airport: A swarm of local residents in Makhachkala in the Russian Republic of Dagestan stormed an airport in the city in an attempt to attack any Jews and Israelis

I have been speculating for some time, and occasionally hinting here, that if Europe wants to survive, at some point it is going to have to deport large numbers of unassimilable “migrants.” I’ve long thought for a variety reasons that France would be the country most likely do this, though don’t count out Sweden or Denmark, which, unbeknownst to most American media, are starting to reckon with rising crime and

On October 10, three days after the Hamas attack on Israel, Joe Biden said 14 Americans had been killed in Israel, but he named not a single one. As of October 19, according to the State Department, Hamas killed 32 Americans in October 7 attack. Joe Biden was recently in Israel but it’s hard to find a statement where he names any of the American victims. For the Delaware Democrat,

Last year marked half a century since Palestinian terrorists abducted, tortured and murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. The 50th anniversary did not get the attention it deserved, and a key sequel escaped attention. The mastermind of the massacre was Muhammad Abu Yousef al-Najjar. His grandson, calling himself Ammar Campa-Najjar, worked on Obama’s 2012 campaign, served in the Obama White House and federal Labor Department, and ran

What with today being proclaimed an “International Day of Jihad,” and in view of events elsewhere, France has banned all pro-Palestinian protests in order to avert violence. They don’t have our First Amendment, and we couldn’t really do this. Still, some will find it heartwarming: France has banned all pro-Palestine protests. This group is now being run out by the Paris police. pic.twitter.com/s78zsqzIog — 🇺🇸ProudArmyBrat (@leslibless) October 12, 2023

“Israel’s 9/11” and “Israel’s Pearl Harbor” are common description of the Hamas invasion, but another take may be every bit as valid. This is the Islamic jihadists’ latest attempt at a “final solution,” the elimination of Israel as a nation. “Our strategy is to erase Israel from the global political map,” said Hossein Salami, deputy leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, in 2019. “We announce that if Israel does anything to
