Monday, February 5, 2024
Friday, October 6, 2023 saw a peaceful day in the Middle East...peaceful between Israel and the Palestinians living in Gaza. On October 7, 2023...a day forever to be known as “Black Saturday”...the Iranian financed and armed terrorist organization Hamas...the governing body voted into power by the Palestinian people in 2006...broke said peace in the most horrific, barbaric, and savage of ways. Whole families were slaughtered in their sleep; women were gang raped; people were burnt alive, others were beheaded; a baby was cooked to death in an oven; and over 200 civilian hostages were taken. Blood was everywhere in a number of Kibbutzim near the Gaza border for no other reason than they were Jews...for no other reason than Iran and Hamas (a direct outshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestinian branch) wished both Israel and the Jewish people wiped from the face of the map.
And while condemnation of Hamas was worldwide at first, in time it morphed into acts akin to the lead in to the Holocaust as antisemitism once again resurfaced both here at home and abroad after Israel retaliated against the acts taken...acts not unlike those of Nazi Germany.
“Over kill” many called it as more Palestinians were killed in Israel's retaliatory strikes than were Israelis on October 7th, but unlike the victims in Israel most of the the Palestinians who died, died because they did not heed Israel's warning to vacate certain targeted areas where Hamas operatives were believed to be hiding. And while Israel always tries to keep civilian casualties to a minimum... they are the only country to warn an enemy's civilian population to vacate an area before they fire the first rocket...but unfortunately most did not resulting in a high Palestinian death toll. But the numbers cited seem to be over estimated by Gaza officials who knew Israel's goal is to completely eliminate Hamas, dare they ever try to strike Israel again. And as Israel's offensive rightfully continues on, so too has condemnation from international communities who believe that they have a right to tell the sovereign nation of Israel what they can and cannot do no matter that it was their border alone that was breached. Israel did not initiate this war but they will end the war on their terms alone. And as antisemitism continues to rise, the “European Parliament” took it upon themselves to pass a “resolution” calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
And while they demanded two preset conditions, the fact remains that the “European Parliament” has no right dictating to Israel...nor any nation not part of the “European Union”...what they can or cannot do in both matters and time of war.
So while the “EP” made clear its support for Israel...to some degree that is...their first condition was a call for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire” with said ceasefire beginning with the “immediate and unconditional release” of all the hostages taken. And their second condition was that Hamas must be totally “dismantled”...no mention of the word “destroyed.” Word semantics maybe...an act of veiled placation more than likely. And in regards to the remaining known hostages, does anyone still believe that most or any of the hostages taken are still alive...I sadly do not.
Here are the reasons for my stating that the “EP” only supports Israel “to some degree,” with the first reason being the fact that said “resolution” also stated that its members must address and denounce what they called “the disproportionate Israeli military response, which has caused a civilian death toll on an unprecedented scale.” Denounce the death toll,..I say “no way” for the true Palestinian death toll is still unknown, and besides who is the “EP” to tell Israel what is proportionate or not, especially when many of those killed in Israel's rightful retaliatory strikes were targeted Hamas operatives and their supporters.
And second is that said “resolution” not only called for “full humanitarian access throughout the Gaza Strip;” but that the “occupation of the Palestinian territories” must end, and that the“European initiative to put the two-state solution needs to be put back on track”...as in post-haste. To all I stated I say no way...not now...not ever.
Why so? Let's start with“humanitarian aide” which must be carefully weighed as the Palestinians living in Gaza...with some referring to themselves as “Gazans”...not only willingly voted terrorists into power, but most of them supported and heralded Hamas' October 7th actions. And this was witnessed by the multitudes who gathered in Gaza's streets to welcome back their so-called “heroes” with fists and voices raised in solidarity, while they prodded and spat upon the hostages...some wounded and bleeding...as they were paraded through the streets. Those supporting barbaric savagery should be given, in my opinion, no aide at all for the very act of giving them aid allows Hamas' genocidal ideology and ensuing actions to continue on...continue on through their children...the next generation of terrorists... children indoctrinated into both hating Israel and the Jewish people almost from the time they are born.
Now as for the “European Parliament” demanding that “the occupation of the Palestinian territories (in this case Gaza) must end,” and that a “two-state solution” is the only chance for peace, here it's important to understand that technically there never has been a “Palestine” state let alone a country nor were there ever a people known as “Palestinians”...that is until then PLO leader Yassir Arafat “invented” them in the late 1960s to help push forward his radical PLO agenda. Also understand that there has been no...I repeat no...Israeli occupation of Gaza since 2005 when Israel, hoping it would help bring peace, turned Gaza over to the Palestinians who in turn voted out what was then the PLO governing body in 2006 by voting Hamas into power instead.
So how can Israel end an “occupation” that has not been in existence for almost two decades? Simply they cannot, but we can help expose the lie and hope that others learn the truth as to who the real “bad guys” are.
So what did Israel get for this Gaza gesture of peace but a continuing barrage of Hamas terrorist attacks courtesy of Iran's support. And while a “two-state solution” seems like an admirable goal, at least on paper it does...but the reality is that it's totally unattainable under the current conditions. Remember, Israel has offered Palestinian leaders numerous peace deals in the past... deals that could have resulted in Palestinian statehood...yet each offer was rejected because the Palestinians refused to lay down their weapons and acknowledge Israel's right to exist.
And now it seems they never will especially when Hamas and its supporters...including those here in the U.S...continue altering the region's history to justify their means...as in no Jewish State of Israel must exist on the land they call Palestine...land considered to be the southern part of the “Levant”... land they believe belongs to the Palestinians alone. How wrong these people are.
Here are a few historical facts, starting with the name “Palestine.” “Palestine” was first used by the Roman poet Ovid to describe a generalized region west of Mesopotamia, and later used by Roman authorities to describe an “administrative provincial category,” and nothing more.
As per the words of the Old Testament, Exodus 23:31, “I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates,” was the land God promised to the Jewish people, but unfortunately what comprises Israel today is less than 5% of that which God promised. And not to be forgotten is that for over four centuries prior to the first World War, said land was part of the Turkish-ruled Ottoman Empire. And it was only after the war and the empire's collapse, that the territory the British referred to as “Palestine”...which never was an Arab nor any people's sovereign nation...was assigned by the League of Nations to Great Britain to administer to. And here via what became a “mandate,” Britain was appointed with the task of establishing a “national home for the Jewish people.”
Now let's fast forward to 1948 and the creation of what became the“Jewish State of Israel.” But first let us clear the key misconception in regards to Israel's creation... the one that Israel was given to the Jewish people as compensation for the Holocaust. This is unequivocally not true for this land had already been established as a “Jewish homeland” by the League of Nations decades before. And besides, no Arabs then, nor any of the Palestinians now, have a legitimate claim to a land that was never theirs to begin with. Now coupling that with the fact Israel is but a sliver of land surrounded by millions of acres of Arab land, you'd think their fellow Arabs would give up a small piece of land for the Palestinians to call home, or at least give them refuge, but they will not. And why...because the Arab nations know that the so-called “Palestinians“ are caste-wise at the bottom of the barrel and do most assuredly breed trouble wherever they go.
Take Egypt for example who not only shares a border with Gaza but helps Israel's blockade of Gaza. Egypt had trouble with Palestinians in the past, and fears that by accepting more into their country Hamas and other militant groups, like Islamic Jihad, would be mixed in amongst the new arrivals, never mind the influx itself would create a burden on Egypt's economy. In fact, President el-Sisi stated about the Palestinians that, “It’s important for its people to stay steadfast and exist on their own land, “ but that, “Egypt will exert its utmost efforts to alleviate their suffering.”
Also, a large Palestinian presence could again “destabilize” the Sinai region. Egypt's military rid Sinai of Hamas backed militants who previously came under the guise of being refugees, and tried to set-up bases from which to attack Israel. In fact, el-Sisi feels so strongly about this that he said of Sinai, “the presence of Palestinian militants in Sinai would again become a base for attacks on Israel. Israel would have the right to defend itself...and would strike Egyptian territory.” Remember, Israel and Egypt have been at peace since 1979, and el-Sisi does not want any trouble for Egypt, especially by those in Islamic Jihad, a direct offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group Egypt has had much trouble with in the past.
And then there's Jordan, the country the Palestinians rightfully should call home. King Abdullah II (the “kinglet” as he is known to some) has stated on numerous occasions that Jordan will take in no Palestinian refugees for fear that Israel's government wants to “permanently expel” all Palestinians from Israel, thus eliminating demands for Palestinian statehood. But truthfully what Abdullah and others really wanted is the total elimination of Israel, and the replacing of her with an islamic Palestinian state.
But what's odd is that with most Palestinians being of Jordanian descent and lineage, and with the Palestinians already in Jordan being fully naturalized citizens who hold Jordanian passports, work permits, drivers licenses, etc., the truth is that Jordan is already an existing Palestinian homeland just with a different name. So exactly why doesn't Abdullah want to take his own people back into the fold? Simply, because Abdullah just doesn't care as witnessed by these words said to the German Chancellor on October 17, 2023, “This is a situation (meaning the war and statehood) that has to be handled within Gaza and the West Bank, and you don’t have to carry this out on the shoulders of others”...as in force the refuges on Jordan.
Not such unexpected words coming from the man who has yet to totally cut ties to the Muslim Brotherhood who, like he, remains somewhat in the shadows yet is committed to armed resistance against Israel and the aforementioned creation of an islamic Palestinian state. King Abdullah II, no matter his western appearance and mannerisms is, in my opinion, an islamist at heart.
And while some Arab nations do want ties with Israel, with some already stating the Israel does have a right to exist, others are still of the mindset that Middle East peace can only happen when, “from the river to the sea, and from the north to the south,” Israel and the Jewish people are no more. Thankfully, Israel does not see it that way nor do her true allies and friends. Case closed.

Omar and Tlaib...Siding With The Enemy Yet Again
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio
“Once again, Israel faces a barrage of deadly rocket attacks by terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. We support Israel 100% in its defense of its citizens…To the Gazan people — these terrorist acts against Israel will bring you nothing but more misery. END the violence and work towards peace – it can happen!”
- President Donald Trump's message to the “Gazan” people not the “Palestinian” people...take note
When someone runs for office in these United States one is supposed to not only have America's best interests at heart but that of her allies as well. When someone runs for office in these United States one is not supposed to vocally, in print or online come out and support U.S. terrorist designated groups nor raise money for said groups. And when someone runs for office in these United States one takes an oath to uphold the entirety of the Constitution...not pick and choose the parts they want to uphold.
So it's now come down to a game of words...or should I say twitter fingers...as both newly elected Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have not reigned in their predominantly anti-Israel comments and sentiments. Knowing well that there is now a different set of rules for muslims in these United States...as in say as you wish with America's allegiances be damned and do so knowing you won't be stopped...means those in power fear that both you and those vile sorts you support will do unto them the very violent actions you so happily condone they do unto Israel.
And really, if not fear of muslim reprisal here in the U.S...fear of our streets running “red” with we infidel's blood...why else would these two muslimas still be sitting in the halls of our government spewing out their traitorous rhetoric against an ally when there are legalities in place to "expel" them both from Congress.
“Lack of responsibility on Israel's part”...Rashida Tlaib knows nothing about which she speaks. How so...here are but four key facts:
- When Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005 in an effort to bring some semblance of peace to the region, the Jewish farmers left their greenhouses and hothouses intact in order to help aid the Gazans...notice I called them what Trump called them...in what could have been a profitable food stuffs business just as it had been for the Jewish farmers. But instead of feeding the people and realizing what a gift this was, Hamas operatives burnt down said greenhouses and hothouses as well as synagogues, thus taking food and monies out of their own people's pockets and mouths and by denial putting it into theirs alone.
- After Israel
vacated Gaza, they still continued to supply goods, services, and
medical supplies to the people of Gaza even after they, in
a supposedly
“democratic election,”
chose to be governed by terrorists...by Hamas.
And
yet even while the current rocket barrage was ongoing Israel
allowed key fuel shipments from Israel into Gaza to
“avoid a humanitarian crisis”...how's
that for taking “responsibility”
Ms. Tlaib.
- Over these
many years numerous countries have sent huge amounts of both
economic and humanitarian aid into Gaza...we're talking hundreds of
millions of dollars in such aid. But the people never received that
aid...instead seeing both monies and aid being “stolen
by Hamas”... ”stolen” to
be used to help fund its propaganda machine and its terrorist
operations against Israel. In fact, just last month
Hamas forcibly shut down Gazan protests by those who were marching
against the misuse of said economic and humanitarian aid...misuse regarding terrorism
infrastructures, government corruption, and payoffs.
- Both Tlaib
and Omar must stop whining that Gaza is an “occupied territory” for
to be “occupied”
one has to be not only living under the control of the “occupier”
but the “occupier”
must have a physical presence in said territory...Israel has
neither. In fact, not a single Jew or Israeli lives in Gaza as the
10,000+ Jews who were living in Gaza were relocated elsewhere in
2005, “ethnically cleansing”
Jews
from Gaza if you will. Since then Gaza has been under total control
of Hamas (and its puppet master Iran), hence it is not an Israeli
"occupied territory.”
All that has or has not happened in Gaza is the sole responsibility
of Hamas...period.
Second, on May 5th in response to both Omar's and Tlaib's tweets, Iranian-born now Australian Shia Imam Mohamad Tawhidi (@Imamofpeace), President of the Islamic Association of South Australia, called both these women out by name saying that, “Remember that time @Ilhan and @RashidaTlaib condemned Hamas’ terrorism? Neither do I.” Seems like some of their own brethren are now seeing the danger these two muslimas pose to peace in the region, and yet both remain sitting in the halls of Congress.
So while Israel continues to forge new friendships and alliances with key Arab nations and even with some of islam's more “moderate” religious leaders, Israel’s ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon recently stated in regards to this latest altercation that killed four Israelis, “Iran was behind everything” which is happening in the Middle East.
And shock of all shocks even the E.U. and the U.N. are now condemning Hamas as well as Islamic Jihad...yet another Gaza-based terrorist group with direct ties to Iran. And why also Islamic Jihad...because Islamic Jihad has said they will "not abide by any ceasefire agreement" vowing instead to “shoot missiles” directly into Tel Aviv.
So as it stands now as I write this article, last Monday, May 6th, Egypt once again brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas...their eighth ceasefire within a year's time. And while Egypt's intentions are honorable such ceasefires always seems to mean in the end that, “Israel ceases and Hamas fires.”
And Islamic Jihad's newest threat has led Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu to issue a statement that “the campaign is not over yet” and that “the IDF was continuing preparations for military action in Gaza”... actions I believe are long overdue especially since Iran wants Hamas to “up the pressure” on Israel.
And Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib, via their tweets and hateful words of condemnation against Israel and not against the actions of Hamas, have now positioned themselves to be a direct detriment to both the United States and Israel. Traitorous actions if you ask me... actions counter to our Constitution. And if one cannot abide by the oath they took to uphold the Constitution...and that includes supporting our allies in this case Israel...then one needs to be “expelled” from Congress x two.

The Media and News NOT Reported
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on www.cprworldwidemedia.net
While the media has us focused 24/7 on 'The Donald Trump Presidential
Anything But Reality Show' some international incidents we should know
about...incidents that do indeed affect us one way or
another...incidents that have been buried deep within the pages of major
newspapers or given mere cursory mention on the news programs if
they're even mentioned at all...but they still must be reported on.One important case in point concerns Israel. Israel...the very country who is America's closest ally NOT only in the Middle East but in the world...always seems to get overlooked or be made into the villain by the media. Israel...whom Barack HUSSEIN Obama has NOT only stabbed in the back yet again, but who he has now put a bulls eye on with his very bad Iranian nuclear deal...actually his surrender to a country with tentacles whom he hopes can now more easily make the Jewish State of Israel but a footnote in the history books.
And if this wasn't bad enough, in case you don't know as it was given so little coverage is the fact that Israel, just days ago, (rightfully) fired rockets against 14 targets in the Syrian Golan Heights in retaliation for Syria firing what Israel claims was a rocket attack launched by a group calling itself Islamic Jihad...which is an Iranian proxy force commanded by Iranian Saed Izadi... and if Israel claims Iran is behind the attack you just know it is so.
And with the U(seless) N(ations) very soon to release sanctions against Iran... monies Iran will surely use to fund even more terrorist attacks against Israel...the media remains mum for the most part...NOT good folks NOT good at all.
And now to add even more fuel to the fire that is an Iranian-backed Syria, is the fact that as al-Assad's forces continue to battle the anti-government rebels...rebels who are NOT rebels per se but who are actually fighters aligned with ISIS...fighters fighting with some U.S. made weapons thanks to the 'leading from behind' traitorous tactics of Obama...now comes this additional bit of unhappiness. Recently, the IDF had to deploy one of their Iron Domes anti-missile defense systems to the outskirts of the city of Ashdod...and why...because terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip...groups like the afore mentioned Islamic Jihad with loyalties to Iran...have vowed to strike Israel “with great force” if Palestinian prisoner Muhammed Allaan was to die from the hunger strike he is on while in Israeli custody. Saying his death would release the group from any previous commitment to any ceasefire they had made with Israel, the Islamic Jihad and others are just counting down the days until Allaan dies as their quest for Israeli blood is fueled on by Iran's promise to wipe Israel off the map.
Any serious mention of any of this in the media circus was given but maybe a sentence or two here and there and then silence...a looming and deadly silence...what with the liberal controlled media for the most part having sided with Obama against Israel...yet again.
And here's yet another event given but cursory mention by the media as they remain focused on you-know-who. For those of you who didn't know ISIS recently ambushed and killed 50 American-trained Iraqi soldiers in the Anbar province of Iraq...soldiers who were trying to help recapture the city of Ramadi. Also, in Iraq and Syria just this past weekend, the U.S. and our coalition partners initiated 26 airstrikes against ISIS with 17 of those strikes near the cities of Bayji, Mosul, and Ramadi, where tactical units, buildings, fighting positions, weapons, and vehicles were hit. And while eight attacks occurred near the Syrian cities of Al Hasakah, Al Hawl, Ar Raqqah, and Ayn Isa, where fighting positions, vehicles, a tactical unit, and four bunkers were hit...notice that in both cases NO mention of fatalities has been said making this basically NOTHING but another lip-service, surgically-precise, spare the brethren bombing run by Obama.
Also over this past weekend, just as school was getting out for the
day in the Afghan city of Macrorayan, three Americans were killed in a
car bombing when a NATO convey was attacked by a suicide bomber. Twelve
people were killed... including three American civilian contractors
working for the NATO forces...and 66 others were injured...many
critically. And while the Taliban is believed to be behind the attack,
to date they have NOT taken responsibility for it. However, the fact
remains that the Taliban have greatly increased their attacks on Afghan
security forces ever since the U.S. and NATO ended their combat mission
in Afghanistan last year...and all these fatalities are courtesy (I
believe) of Obama's announcing our date of withdrawal...a withdrawal
that afforded the Taliban the time needed to lay low and regroup, and
then to go in full-force with NO U.S. troops to stop them.
And there was NO U.S. troops present or major media coverage given
when the terrorists launched a number of attacks on Kabul in retaliation
for the recently announced death of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed
Omar. And did you know that another American was killed in a Taliban
attack earlier this month on a NATO military base near Kabul's
international airport... an attack that also saw eight Afghan contractors
being killed...bet you didn't as Trump news trumped it all.And lest we forget...but then again how can we forget what most don't know about...and that is that North Korea and South Korea are again at odds. Last Thursday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ordered his primary military units to go on a 'semi-war state'...an order issued only twice before...once in 1968 when they hijacked the Pueblo, and the second time in 1993 when the standoff with Washington over its nuclear weapons program first surfaced. This time the order was issued because South Korea claimed the North had exchanged rocket and artillery fire with the South in the first major armed conflict across their border in five years. And with South Korea and the U.S. currently involved in joint annual war games...which Jong-un demands be halted and which South Korea said NO to...instead they chose to kick into high gear their own military operations with a promise to retaliate against any provocations from the North.
A build up of military might on both sides of the Korean border yet
at the same time a stalemate of sorts, but a very dangerous one as North
Korea is a nuclear power while South Korea is NOT. And when a man-child
madman like Kim Jong-un controls a weapon of nuclear caliber the world
does teter on the verge of WWIII...maybe NOT this time...but with
Jong-un a next time is sure to come...but according to the media we need
NOT focus on that.And lastly, current ongoing news that we are just being given a smidgen of privy to is that the muslim infiltration of Europe is moving forward as hundreds if NOT thousands of muslim illegals continue to crash through the Greek border into Macedonia as the now welfare countries of Europe and England beckon. And this infiltration is ongoing even though Macedonia did previously seal its border after being overwhelmed with muslim illegals from North Africa and the Middle East NOT too long ago.
But again the media gives this story and the others mentioned above NOTHING but fleeting coverage if any coverage at all...guess 'real' news doesn't bring in 'real' ratings in their eyes...and for the media ratings means monies and monies is to them what it is all about. And isn't it sad how far the Fourth Estate has fallen...how very very sad...just saying.
