The Biden White House Is Complicit In The Destruction Of Israel

by Carpe Diem for American Greatness

By now if you’ve been paying attention, you know what Joe Biden and the Democrat Party stands for. And no I will not refer to them as the Democratic Party, when they are anything but.

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock since January 2021, here’s a little refresher.

The Democrat Party supports and encourages a full scale invasion of our Southern Border. They do not care how many terrorists, rapists, criminals, drug dealers, and human traffickers we let pour into our country, and allow to disperse across our communities.

They do not care if they suppress wages, overwhelm public resources, or threaten the safety of U.S. citizens.

If they did, they would stop the invasion post haste, but they have no desire to do so, because they would rather increase their voter base and let everyone else suffer the consequences.

The Democrat Party supports the sexualization of our children in classrooms and is complicit in the genital mutilation of confused minors.

In states like Florida, if pornographic material is removed from the classroom, idiots like Gavin Newsom absurdly calls it a “book ban.”

But if a 12-year old girl wants a doctor to chop off her breasts without the consent of her parents that’s perfectly fine. By Democrat logic, preventing people with a mental illness from carrying out such a heinous activity is considered a threat to the transgender community. Go figure.

Don’t even bother trying to rationalize their insanity.

The Democrat Party does not give a damn if boys who say they are female expose themselves to other girls in locker rooms.

If they did, they would be able to define what a woman is, put an end to the pronoun Olympics, and eliminate the “express yourself and identity as whatever the hell you want on weekdays,” mentality.

The Democrat Party wants to remove all safety requirements for voting—so they can forge as many ballots as possible and then cry racism when their plan of making it easier to cheat is exposed.

The Democrat Party supports racist anti-American teachings in our classrooms that pit different groups of people against one another and in almost all cases blame “the evils” of our society on the white man.

If the Left truly cared about not indoctrinating our children with this revisionist garbage, they wouldn’t promote the works of historically illiterate race baiters like Nikole Hannah-Jones and Ibram X Kendi, who make millions of dollars off their grift, while peddling lies and further dividing us.

The Democrat Party supports and promotes the redistribution of wealth, in the form of confiscatory taxation—also known as theft.

According to these economically illiterate Marxists, somehow the people responsible for stimulating the economy, creating wealth, starting businesses, producing goods and services, and actually doing the hiring are always at fault, and therefore should be punished by the government. That Marxist crap only makes sense if you’re a moron.

The Democrat Party supports defunding the police and allowing violent criminals to loot, ransack, and terrorize communities, so long as they are a member of the “oppressed class.”

The Democrat Party is responsible for the destruction of our inner cities and for skyrocketing crime that has turned our urban areas into dystopian hellholes, full of trash, litter, filth, and mentally ill people threatening citizens.

If this were not the case, then we would not see CVS pharmacies emptied out like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. We would not see Starbucks shuttering its stores in organic chai latte loving Leftist elitist areas like San Francisco and Washington D.C., and we would not see daily occurrences of people on the New York City subway randomly punched or shoved into the tracks like they’re filming Rush Hour 4.

And now we can add to the Joe Biden Democrat Party list of futility what we have long known to be true: Biden and the Democrat Party are complicit in the destruction of Israel.

No, that is not hyperbole or some gross overreaction to the horrifying events that we have seen out of Israel in the last several days, where Jewish men, women, children, and the elderly were burned, butchered, tortured, raped, maimed, kidnapped and executed by savage barbaric pieces of human debris, who are sure to rot in hell.

As of this writing, more than 900 innocent Israelis are dead, with another 2,500 wounded. Fourteen Americans were also killed by Hamas.

So how exactly is Biden and the Democrat Party at fault, the New York Times reader asks?

Yes, it is inexplicable that Israeli Intelligence (Mossad), and the CIA could have missed this pre-planned attack.

But the fact that this atrocity was even made possible is because Biden, just like his former Israel hating, anti-American and racist boss, has an obsession with cozying up to the Mullahs in Iran—the very people who directly fund and support terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas—with the stated goal of annihilating Israel off the face of the earth.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August,” to coordinate this attack, which just so happens to be when Biden and his puppet masters sent $6 billion to the “death to America, death to Israel,” chanting Mullahs, in exchange for a grand total of five U.S. citizens.

No one with honesty believes the lies and distortions that come out of the White House and the Leftist media propagandists, who say the money hadn’t been spent yet, or it could only be spent on humanitarian efforts, or that it had no relation to the attacks.

Giving the Mullahs $6 billion in cash and telling them it cannot be used to support terrorist activities, is about as credible as Hunter Biden telling you the white powder he just snorted in the Lincoln bedroom was actually Domino sugar.

The bottom line is, you do not under any circumstances give one penny to savage terrorists whose parliament makes their stated goals of destroying Israel crystal clear.

Unless of course you don’t give a damn about Israel and the Jewish people.

SPLC Won’t Say Whether It Plans to Designate Left-Wing Groups Supporting Slaughter in Israel as Hate Groups

Jordan Boyd reporting for The Federalist 

Southern Poverty Law Center refused to tell The Federalist whether it plans to designate as hate groups the left-wing organizations that responded to the murders of more than 1,200 Israelis and 22 Americans at the hands of Hamas by excusing or blatantly ‘standing with’ the terrorists.

The SPLC claims to “monitor hate groups and other extremists throughout the United States,” including many of which it says are “far right” antisemitic organizations. In years past, SPLC largely focused its efforts on tarnishing organizations with Christian missions or conservative ties.

These partisan designations, decried by Republicans and the organizations as smears, were then used by the FBI, Democrats, Big Tech, and woke corporations to investigate and censor the left’s political opponents.

Missing from SPLC’s list of more than 1,200 “hate groups,” however, are the several U.S.-based left-wing organizations invoking language and imagery publicly shrugging off the deadliest assault on Jewish civilians since the Holocaust to stand with the people who perpetrated the attack.

The scenes emanating from Israel over the weekend were brutal. Music festival attendees were either dragged into Gaza as hostages or shot to death at point-blank range. Babies and young children were brutally beheaded, butchered, and burned in their beds. One grandmother’s murder was live-streamed by the terrorists on her Facebook page.

The Democratic Socialists of America, which is affiliated with at least six Democrat U.S. lawmakers, released a statement claiming it was “steadfast in expressing our solidarity with Palestine.” The organization deemed Israel an “apartheid regime” and suggested that Israel should not receive funding for its retaliation.

“We unequivocally condemn the killing of all civilians. It is imperative for international human rights law to be respected,” the DSA continued. “But we cannot forget that the Israeli state has systematically denied Palestinians the right to self-determination for decades. … As socialists, we must act.”

Only one freshman DSA representative condemned the declaration.

Black Lives Matter Chicago did away with the formalities of releasing a statement and instead opted to post a graphic of a Palestine flag affixed to a paraglider, much like the ones Hamas used to enter Israel and begin its massacre.

After facing backlash, BLMChicago deleted the post. In a statement posted to X, the organization claimed “we aren’t proud” of the deleted post but doubled down on supporting “Palestine & the people who will do what they must to live free.”

Black Lives Matter Los Angeles similarly posted a statement to Instagram justifying Hamas’ actions.

“When a people have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense,” the activists argued.

The organization urged its members to view the assault on Israel “as an attempt to tear down the gates of the world’s largest open air prison.”

Several Ivy League and other college students joined in the left’s blaming Israel for Hamas’ brutalism.

The remorselessness shown by these activists should have captured the SPLC’s attention, but The Federalist’s repeated requests for comment on whether these organizations would receive a “hate group” designation were ignored.

The SPLC has classified right-leaning and religious organizations as “hate groups” over far less than statements attempting to absolve Hamas of culpability. Organizations like The Heritage Foundation, the Catholic Medical Association, Alliance Defending Freedom, Focus on the Family, the Family Research Council, Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, Liberty Counsel, and the Homeschool Legal Defense Association have all been maligned by the SPLC for simply advancing pro-family, Christian, and freedom forward agendas.

Turning the Tide: How Detransitioners Are Challenging the Medical System

posted by Jeff Charles at RedStateVIP 

Other detransitioners are joining the expanding chorus of voices raising concerns about the irreversible consequences of “gender-affirming care” being used on children grappling with gender dysphoria. Even further, even more of these individuals have started using the court system to hold accountable those who foisted these treatments on them when they were children.

This trend could mark a significant shift toward ending the use of “gender-affirming care” on minors. As the debate over the issue continues to rage, the stories of the detransitioners will likely play an even more consequential role in safeguarding children and their mental health.

A new law firm has been created specifically to help detransitioners, people who went through “gender-affirming care” as children and later regretted it, take on the medical professionals and facilities that put them on puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and even surgery ostensibly to help them deal with their mental health problems. The lawyers indicated that they are experiencing a steady influx of potential clients who were subjected to these treatments as children.

The law firm Campbell Miller Payne was established in 2023 by lawyers Jordan Campbell, Ron Miller, Josh Payne, and Daniel Sepulveda. The lawyers represent detransitioners in a number of high-profile cases, including Prisha Mosely and Soren Aldaco. Despite the newness of the firm, Campbell tells the [Daily] Caller that they “average about one potential new client a week.”

“And that’s barely having gotten off the ground.”

“I think, frankly, we’re at the front end of a tidal wave coming the other direction,” Campbell told the Caller, “which is part of the reason I was willing to put my career on the line and go after this.”

Aldaco sued her medical providers for performing a botched mastectomy which left her “nipples literally peeling off of her chest” in July. Mosley alleges that a doctor concluded she was undergoing a “gender identity crisis” after one visit to the emergency room regarding an episode of self-harm, despite multiple comorbidities, such as an eating disorder and depression.

The stories of detransitioners such as Aldaco and Mosley lay out a pattern of alleged medical neglect carried out by doctors who are reportedly too quick to diagnose patients with underlying mental disorders or a history of abuse with gender dysphoria. Patients are often fast-tracked, even at a young age, to irreversible sex change procedures such as cross-sex hormones, genital surgeries, and mastectomies.

Mosley’s story, which I previously wrote about here, is particularly striking. In her case, a doctor concluded that she was undergoing a “gender identity crisis” after just one visit to the emergency room during an episode of self-harm. In her lawsuit, Mosley claims the doctor rushed this diagnosis, ignoring her complex mental health issues which included an eating disorder and depression. Now, she is seeking justice.

So, the question is: What do these lawsuits, along with the inflow of clients for Campbell Miller Payne, signify for the future of this issue? It is a piercing wake-up call, illustrating the urgency of stopping medical professionals from inflicting irreversible harm on children through “gender-affirming care,” which has been found to do far more harm than good. It serves as a stark reminder that there are people like Mosley and Aldaco all across the country who are being rushed into these treatments without being adequately informed of the potential consequences. Indeed, in many cases, professionals will use fear to manipulate parents into going along with these treatments by convincing them that their children will commit suicide if they are not allowed to go on puberty blockers.

Still, despite how tragic these situations are, they are acting as a catalyst for change. The emerging trend of detransitioners and others using lawfare to hit these organizations where it hurts is encouraging. Indeed, the fact that a new law firm specifically intended for detransitioners is seeing a steady flow of clients is a sign that we could be seeing more legal battles in the not-too-distant future.

In fact, in states like Missouri and North Dakota, which allow “gender-affirming care” for minors, medical facilities have stopped offering these treatments because these states increased civil liability if a detransitioner wishes to sue later on.

It appears the tide is beginning to turn. Once enough of these organizations feel the heat of lawsuits and lighter pocketbooks, they will decide using treatments that cause irreversible results might not be worth the risk. The question is, how long until we reach that tipping point?

Shocker! Embracing Drag Queens Didn’t Fix The Navy’s Recruiting Crisis

Shawn Fleetwood reporting for The Federalist 

It turns out that propping up and embracing enlisted drag queens isn’t the answer to the U.S. Navy’s recruiting crisis after all.

On Tuesday, Navy Recruiting Command revealed that the branch had failed to meet its recruiting goals for the 2023 fiscal year. According to the Navy Times, the branch brought in “30,236 new active duty sailors in fiscal 2023, falling short of the 37,700 target number accessions for the year.” The Navy also missed its targets for new active-duty officers and reserve officers by 452 and 773 enlistees, respectively.

During her Senate confirmation hearing last month, Acting Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti projected that the Navy would miss its FY23 recruiting targets by 7,000 sailors. According to Franchetti, that estimation is better than one given by the Navy at the beginning of FY23, which predicted a 13,000 shortfall in new recruits.

To combat the ongoing crisis, the Navy increased its maximum enlistment age from 39 to 41 in November “in an effort to allow more civilians to join its ranks.” Nearly a month later, it lowered its entrance test standards. And in June, the branch announced further plans to extend the work week for its recruiters from five days to six to address existing shortfalls but backed away from the policy after facing backlash from sailors.

Among the probable factors contributing to the Navy’s recruiting dilemma is the waning health of America’s youth. A Pentagon study released last year, for example, found that 77 percent of young Americans “would not qualify for military service without a waiver due to being overweight, using drugs or having mental and physical health problems.”

These concerns prompted the Navy to develop “The Future Sailor Preparatory Course,” a program launched in April aimed at helping “prospective recruits meet the Navy’s body-fat entry standards.” The initiative also focuses on “academic coursework and basic militarization,” according to the Navy Times.

Another likely factor hindering the Navy’s ability to bring in new talent is the U.S. military’s embrace of DEI, a neo-Marxist ideology that dismisses merit in favor of personal characteristics such as race. In May 2021, for instance, Navy leadership issued a memo outlining an action plan to promote DEI throughout the branch.

More recently, the Navy got caught employing an enlisted drag queen to help with its “Digital Ambassador” online recruiting program. After facing backlash from military veterans and congressional Republicans, the Navy confirmed in a letter to Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville last month that the program has been discontinued.

Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley — the active-duty drag queen who partook in the “Digital Ambassador” program — has since been referred to the Navy for investigation for allegedly violating existing military protocols. According to the complaint filed by America First Legal, Kelley purportedly “engaged in partisan activity, behaved in ways that discredit the military, publicly criticized his command, and misused his uniform for personal gain” while serving in the Navy.

There Is No Democrat Party

posted by Brandon Morse at RedStateVIP 

For all the heat I give many in the Republican Party for cosplaying like it's still the party of the 1980s, the Democrats are probably just as guilty, if not more so. It's just harder to see for many voters because the part dresses in modernity like an aging hipster still trying to look "hip" and "with it." 

And trust me, if there's one thing the Democrat Party knows about, it's age, given the fact that everyone in its geriatric leadership positions is on the threshold of becoming like every other person in their active voting base, dead.

But I digress. 

There was, at one time, a Democrat Party that was more center-left and at least had some semblance of care for the country and its people. They believed in a strong border and that there should be some stable moral fabric guiding our society. 

There are many Democrat voters who still hold onto that idea, but that is a massive mistake. That Democrat Party, the one they remember from long, long ago, is gone. This is a party of radicals, extremists, socialists, and communists. 

I don't think I need to go too far into explaining this truth. The Democrats are hardly shy about any of it. They created the border crisis and punished anyone who tried to stop it, flooded our streets with crime thanks to soft-on-crime policies and defunding police departments, collapsed our economy, spiked the price of groceries and gas, and even went so far as to introduce sex and sexuality to your children in public schools. 

The Democrats attempt to mask all of this with carefully crafted narratives, painting themselves as the champions of the oppressed, whether these oppressed people are the black community or women, which is hilarious given its dedication to the cause of transgenderism.

But it's pretty clear that what they're actually doing is tearing apart the very fabric of society, dividing the people, and using fear and loathing to garner power. 

But I don't think that any one example that the party has become a hive of political extremists quite like the reaction many have given to Israel's war with Hamas, a war that started because of a surprise attack on innocent people on Saturday that has claimed the lives of 1,000 and counting. 

The images and videos that have come out of Israel of the brutality and cruelty of the Hamas terrorist group have shocked and disturbed many. There can be no doubt that Hamas is an evil institution that represents the most vile and disgusting aspects of humanity. The stories of their atrocities, including kidnappings, and murder, also include butchering babies and burning people alive. 

There is no defense for Hamas...and yet, the left has tried to mount one. 

In the midst of these atrocities, anti-Israel protesters have come forth in celebration of the attacks innocent men, women, and children have suffered. They revel in blood and believe there should be more of it until Israel collapses entirely. They feel this should be accomplished by any means necessary, and that no amount of inhumane treatment and brutal murder is too far.

(READ: Anti-Israel Protesters Have No Moral Ground to Claim Now)

Oddly, these same people deny that the most horrific stories that come out of Israel are true. So which is it? Do they want them to happen or don't they? 

Whether or not these attacks are bad are easy questions to answer but members of America's own Democrat Party won't answer. As RedState has covered, Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was asked point black whether or not she condemns babies having their heads chopped off multiple times and she remained silent. Fellow squad-mate Ilhan Omar attempted to generate sympathy for Hamas by making it seem like Israel was the true aggressor in this fight. Cori Bush decided to advocate to end aid to Israel. 

As I write this, Tlaib has a Palestinian flag displayed outside her office door. It's a disgusting display, especially given Tlaib's silence on the atrocities committed in the name of Palestine. Rep. Steny Hoyer's response when asked about it? 

"I fly a Danish flag at my house." 

Two things. The Danish didn't conduct one of the bloodiest attacks on innocents in recent years, and this isn't his house, this is the Nation's Capital. Hoyer then tried to run defense for Tlaib's character, but at this point, there's no fooling anyone but those willing to be fooled. 

Sure, the Democrat Party officially stands with Israel and called comments from those like Tlaib "disgraceful," but this is the same party that did what it could to empower Hamas, and allowed them to conduct this attack in the first place. 

Democrats know that at this time it's pretty dangerous to be seen doing anything but supporting Israel, so the "both sides-ism" has been dropped...for now. 

But this is the Democrat Party. This is what it has devolved into. These are the radicals currently in positions of power. These aren't the Democrats of a few decades ago, these are the Democrats of tomorrow. 

Extremists in suits. 

DHS Admits Biden’s Border Crisis Is Making It Easier for Terrorists to Enter America

Shawn Fleetwood reporting for The Federalist 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) admitted in a September report that foreign terrorists are exploiting the Biden-manufactured border crisis to illegally enter the United States.

Released last month by the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis, the “Homeland Threat Assessment” for fiscal year 2024 includes an admission by the agency that international terrorists are looking to capitalize on the Biden administration’s open border policies and the resulting influx of illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border to enter the American homeland. Under the section titled, “Border and Immigration Security,” the report specifically noted how “[t]errorists and criminal actors may exploit the elevated flow and increasingly complex security environment to enter the United States.”

The agency further acknowledged “individuals with potential terrorism connections” are actively attempting to enter the U.S. thanks to the ongoing crisis. Months before the 2023 fiscal year ended, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had already encountered approximately 160 individuals on the Terrorist Screening Data Set (TSDS), or “watchlist” — more than the 100 or so encountered in the entirety of the 2022 fiscal year. According to the report, “Inclusion in the TSDS ranges from known associates of watchlisted individuals, such as family members, to individuals directly engaged in terrorist activity.”

Despite proclaiming support for a “secure” border, President Joe Biden and his administration have routinely dismantled policies that helped stymie the ongoing crisis. In addition to auctioning off border wall construction materials, Biden moved to gut the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy shortly after taking office. That policy required illegal border crossers seeking asylum to stay in the Latin American country until their court hearing.

It’s estimated that nearly 7 million illegal immigrants have been “encountered” at the U.S.-Mexico border since Biden took office, according to the New York Post. And that doesn’t even include the potentially millions of “gotaways” who evaded capture by CBP agents.

Last month’s DHS assessment was issued weeks before Hamas — an Iranian-backed terrorist organization operating out of Gaza — launched a series of unprovoked and barbaric attacks against Israel, killing at least 1,200 people, mostly civilians. The attacks have since prompted concerns that foreign-based terrorist organizations could exploit America’s open border to illegally enter the U.S. and launch similar operations.

In response to possible threats, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the state’s public safety division to coordinate with local and federal law enforcement on “heightened public safety measures,” with a particular focus on raising awareness of possible threats against the state’s Jewish community by Iranian-backed terrorist groups.

In its new threat assessment, DHS specifically highlighted Iran — the world’s leading state-sponsor of terrorism — and its “intent to plot attacks against current and former US government officials.”

“Iran relies on individuals with pre-existing access to the United States for surveillance and lethal plotting—using dual nationals, members of criminal networks, and private investigators,” the report reads, adding that Tehran has even attempted to carry out plots “that do not require international travel for operatives.”

The report also listed Hezbollah — another Iranian-backed terrorist group operating out of Lebanon — as another source of potential foreign terror threats.

Should America Be Worried About Terrorism on Its Soil?

As the world watches, events in the Middle East continue to heat up after Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel. The casualties continue to increase, with thousands of people losing their lives in the fighting. As the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continues rooting out Hamas operatives, the region is rife with rocket and missile fire and ground troops battling it out in the Gaza Strip and Israel.

Along with concerns about the well-being of innocent civilians in the region, some are beginning to worry about the possibility that the violence could spread to other countries. In fact, American politicians and officials have voiced concerns that the successful surprise attack might embolden other terrorists to engage in violence overseas.

Several Republican and Democratic politicians have highlighted the border crisis as a potential area that could endanger Americans even more than it already has as the situation in the Middle East intensifies.

Republican and Democratic members of Congress said more needs to be done to secure the U.S. southern border with Mexico after seeing how militants from a foreign terrorist organization broke across the Israel-Gaza Strip border and committed mass atrocities.

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) has led House Republicans calls this year for the Biden administration to act on the burgeoning border problem that has crippled sanctuary cities and states far north of the border in New England and the Midwest.

"Evil actors, including terrorist groups, are constantly seeking to exploit weaknesses in our national security, and unfortunately, Secretary Mayorkas’s open border has given them a golden opportunity to do so," Green said. “The horrific and cowardly attacks on our indispensable ally Israel are a sober reminder that we cannot take our own homeland security for granted."

Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) said not only should President Joe Biden declare "unwavering support" for Israel but "finally" admit to and fix vulnerabilities at the U.S. border after more than 7 million people have been encountered attempting to enter the country without authorization under his tenure.

"Recognize the fact that his failure to secure our border is putting American citizens at risk as well," Pfluger, chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence, Counterterrorism, and Law Enforcement, said.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy also chimed in, referencing America’s “own intelligence failures” and noting that “we have to look to our border” as a potential area where terrorists could enter the country. McCarthy also brought up the 150 people with ties to terrorism who were apprehended at the southern border. "Why are they coming to America, what do they have planned, and who are they communicating with?" he questioned.

The southern border has long been a source of concern, even before the current war in the Gaza Strip. Others have voiced concerns about terrorists exploiting the ongoing border crisis to sneak into the country to carry out acts of violence. With over seven million attempts to cross the border during President Joe Biden’s first term in office, one can see how this could be a problem worth worrying about.

This conversation comes as Hamas’ former chief Khaled Meshaal issued a disturbing call to arms, soliciting global support for the Palestinian cause. He exhorted listeners to express their anger on Friday and urged Muslims to “carry Jihad by their souls; to fight and be martyrs for Al-Aqsa.”

Yet, the question remains: Should Americans be worried about terrorist attacks on our soil?

It is understandable that many would wonder if the conflict in Israel could spill far enough to reach the United States or whether it will remain confined to the Middle East. It’s a complex issue, for sure.

It is important to consider the dynamics playing out in the conflict. The hostilities are rooted in historical and ideological disputes. While those who wish to wipe Israel off the map might also have animus toward Americans, right now, they are focused on striking Israeli soldiers and civilians. The fact that the IDF is currently decimating Hamas’ operatives might make it less likely that the clash will grow to threaten U.S. national security.

On the other hand, Meshaal’s call to action seems to signify that Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups might seek to expand their horizons once more. Indeed, Moroccan TV Host Rachid Hammami, who translated Meshaal’s speech, predicted that this could happen in the Western world.

Even further, a recent rally in Dearborn, Michigan, which has a high Muslim population, might be cause for concern. Some of the speakers defended Hamas, claiming it was not a terrorist organization. Others threatened to “burn” Israel “until its demise.” With this type of rhetoric, it makes sense that at least one individual might feel compelled to kill Americans in the name of the cause.

It is not easy to tell how Israel’s war against Hamas will play out on the national stage. Will people take up the call to Jihad? Could it lead to another War on Terror? Or is this much ado about nothing? One thing is for sure: Now is the time to pay attention and remain vigilant.
