This endorsement, made via a Facebook post on Sunday, is not just a casual nod; it reflects a significant shift in the narrative. Ghalib, while acknowledging that he and Trump don’t “agree on everything,” still regards the former president as “a man of principles.”

Here’s his post:

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let me be clear, so our expectations are realistic.

President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles.

Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time. I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences.

For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump.

Now, let the Caravan begin its journey. This is just the starting point.

Amer Ghalib
Hamtramck City Mayor.

Trump, ever the savvy politician, wasted no time in amplifying Ghalib’s message, sharing it on his Truth Social account. This is more than just an endorsement; it’s a strategic alliance that could resonate deeply within the Arab American community.

Ghalib’s endorsement follows a private meeting with Trump in Flint earlier this week, where the two engaged in a candid 20-minute conversation.

Ghalib noted that Trump “knew a lot about me before the meeting,” suggesting a level of preparation that hints at a calculated approach to garnering support from diverse communities.

In his discussions with Trump, Ghalib revealed, “We talked about various topics including the debates, the polls updates, the statistics of votes in Michigan and Wayne County, the Arab American concerns and the Yemeni Americans in particular. We also talked about the situation in Yemen.”

Hamtramck is the only U.S. city governed entirely by Muslims, with more than 40% of the city’s population foreign-born.

The Left advocates social justice; celebrates diversity, equity, and inclusion; and professes special concern for historically oppressed minorities. Meanwhile, Gaza’s Iran-backed jihadists torture and kill based on race, ethnicity, and sexual preference; loathe and wage war against Israelis, Jews, Americans, and the West; and, by all available means, seek to establish Islamist theocracy.

What could unite two such seemingly mutually exclusive camps?

Not for the first time a common enemy makes allies out of adversaries. A shared disdain for the United States and Israel draws together woke leftists and jihad enthusiasts. Sustaining their cooperation is a common resentment of the principles that the United States and Israel embrace—individual freedom, democratic equality, free-market dynamism, toleration of a diversity of beliefs about faith and human flourishing—and an antipathy to Israel’s character as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

The shared disdain and common resentment and antipathy give rise to more puzzles.

Some of these concern students. How in the space of only a few years have numerous leftist students moved from trembling in fear and rage at opinions with which they disagree to donning masks and kaffiyehs, occupying prime campus real estate, and siding with terrorism and religious war? How have they gone from insisting that all women must be believed to serving as apologists for Hamas’ raping of Israeli women? How have they set aside the dogmas that speech and even silence are violence in favor of harassing fellow students by openly celebrating the perpetration of mass atrocities and publicly chanting slogans that call for Israel’s destruction?

Elite Universities as Ground Zero

Other puzzles concern America’s institutions of higher education and those who run them and teach there. How have our elite universities become ground zero of the alliance between leftism and jihad? Where are the responsible educators—administration officials and faculty—who will day in and day out soberly explain the difference between peaceful protests subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions, and disruptive demonstrations that impair the university’s mission, which is to acquire and transmit knowledge, enliven the moral imagination, and cultivate independent thought?

What steps should be taken to correct course so that instead of inculcating campus orthodoxies that condemn the United States as a uniquely awful regime and that deem dissent from institutionally approved narratives as proof of ignorance or bigotry, our universities foster civility, toleration, curiosity, and intellectual acuity, and teach a reasoned, historically informed understanding of constitutional government in America?

In “The Woke Jihad,” Commentary Magazine’s June cover story, Abe Greenwald brings these puzzles into sharper focus with essential background and incisive analysis. His rhetoric occasionally overheats. Then again, the provocation is severe—the routinization of antisemitism and anti-Americanism on campus. And the stakes—the future of our educational institutions and hence the nation’s future—could hardly be higher.

A “hybrid enemy of the West,” the alliance between woke leftists and jihad enthusiasts that burst out into the open following Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacres, Greenwald reports, “won’t stop soon, as it is well-funded and impressively organized.”

Moral impulses that higher education has long incubated, moreover, fuel the partnership. Even after colleges and universities remove the pro-Hamas encampments, the alliance will live on in the hearts and minds of many students, and in those of the professors and administrators who have accommodated or endorsed them.

Dear university students in the United States of America, you are standing on the right side of history.

— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) May 29, 2024

According to Greenwald, the allies “enjoy a valuable symbiotic relationship.” The woke Left needed a new cause. Three years had passed since protesters, prompted by the May 2020 killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers, established encampments in many cities. Many were peaceful. Many, though, were not, leaving behind more than a billion dollars of damage.

And “with the liberal rank and file no longer interested in police defunding, the public turning against DEI schemes, whistleblowers revealing the horrors of ‘gender-affirming care’ for trans kids, and the term woke a source of liberal embarrassment,” the woke Left found a new calling in coming to Hamas’ defense.

Meanwhile, “the jihadists needed the American left for tactical purposes: to propagandize for their cause and fit antisemitic terrorists—alongside gays, the transgendered, and African Americans—into the intersectional Left’s pantheon of victims.”

Strange Bedfellows

The allies’ feelings toward one another do not match. Woke leftists, Greenwald writes, “love the jihadists … for their ferocity and exoticism, as much as for their bottomless self-pity.” In contrast, fidelity to core beliefs impels the jihadist to experience “disgust for the unchecked females, sexual libertines, heathens, and even Jews he’s been forced to instrumentalize in the cause of Islamist domination.”

At the same time, woke leftists—“Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ groups, intersectional feminist organizations, and others”—converge politically with jihad enthusiasts to “salute October 7 as righteous resistance and condemn the Israeli response as genocide.”

Both revel in violence and victimhood, maintains Greenwald, and both denounce the West as essentially exploitative, Jews as quintessential exploiters, and Israel as the epitome of Jewish exploitation.

The woke Left cloaks its revolutionary aims under appeals to justice that resonate with decent people. If Black Lives Matter focused on saving black lives, asks Greenwald, why would it “have seized on a statistically tiny number of police killings as justification to rid black neighborhoods of police?”

If the trans movement was principally concerned with equality, why would it lavish energy on “denying solid biological reality, throwing kids into emotional disarray, scaring the hell out of parents, endorsing ruinous medical procedures for minors, and trolling everyone who’s not convinced?”

Rhetoric Doesn’t Match Reality

And if diversity, equity, and inclusion aimed to overcome differences and bring people together, why do DEI programs intensify animosity, not least by classifying all white people and all Jewish people as oppressors? Rather than pursuing equality under law, the woke Left endeavors to replace American principles and remake the nation’s norms and institutions.

Similarly, the pro-Palestinian campaign on campus does not serve Palestinians’ reasonable interests. If it did, it would not support Hamas, whose theocratic dictatorship deliberately uses noncombatant Palestinians as human shields; employs Palestinian homes, schools, and mosques as military facilities; and steals humanitarian supplies meant for noncombatants.

All this the jihad enthusiasts overlook. Instead, they concentrate on turning worldwide public opinion against, and spurring the imposition of economic and legal sanctions on, the Jewish state. By damaging Israel, which they regard as an outpost of Western imperialism in the Middle East, they strive to weaken and fundamentally transform the United States.

Several revenue streams fund the anti-Israel and anti-American lawlessness besetting American campuses. One stream, according to Greenwald, flows from pro-Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) groups like American Muslims for Palestine, the principal backer of Students for Justice in Palestine. Another, he reports, comes from left-wing philanthropies, including the Tides Foundation, the Gates Foundation, George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and Susan and Nick Pritzker.

Hamas patron Qatar provides a third major source of financial backing, giving “$4.7 billion to multiple American colleges and universities between 2001 and 2021.”

The money is effective not only because of its quantity. In addition, elite universities have for decades tilled the intellectual soil out of which the woke jihad has arisen.

Observes Greenwald:

Dominant academic trends such as intersectionality, critical race theory, anti-racism, and anti-colonialism have turned millions of young minds into a moral funhouse mirror in which racists are reflected back as angels, colorblindness as racism, one sex as the other, democracy as tyranny, tyranny as paradise, freedom as bondage, refugees as colonialists, Jews as white oppressors, and terrorists as saints.

Joining Forces, Blending Pathologies

Greenwald, nevertheless, finds hope amid the bleakness. “In joining forces, the woke and the Islamists may have compounded their resources, but they’ve also compounded the disgust that the public already harbored for each group individually,” he writes. “The spectacle of their blended pathologies will be, and already is, their discrediting and their undoing. Not ours.”

Woke jihad’s self-discrediting and undoing, however, are not enough. The university culture that has fostered woke-leftism and jihad enthusiasm has staying power.

Responsible remedies to the debasement of liberal education are not likely to originate with or receive vigorous endorsement from members of the faculty and administration. A large majority of them have either encouraged—or stood by in silence during—higher education’s long descent into obscurantism and sectarianism.

Finally taking notice of the pathologies plaguing higher education, some wealthy donors have begun to suspend donations. But universities will not implement reforms of lasting significance until trustees and governing boards hire, and back fully, university presidents who understand, and realign their universities with, liberal education’s structure, content, and purpose.

Reform-minded presidents by themselves can’t fix universities. They must find fellow reformers, few and far between though they may be, among today’s professors and administrators. These colleagues will be throwbacks, eccentrics, and dissenters. Some will be brash, others soft-spoken.

To accomplish the task, they must, while respecting partisan political differences, join forces to defend the equal liberty for all on which the American constitutional order rests and to rebuild the liberal education that secures freedom and democracy.

According to the man, the youths started hurling insults at him before demanding that he remove his costume. Upon refusing, the gang began attacking him an trying to rip his costume off while shouting that he was a foreigner in their country. The irony being that the “foreigner” is a German, “their country” is Germany, and the youths themselves are all Muslim migrants.

According to Remix, an English-language website which focuses on news in Central Europe:

The attackers were reportedly between 14 and 16 years of age with black hair, and were dressed in dark clothing, the man told the police.

After filing a complaint with the authorities, the case was assigned to the state security agency, as is customary when a political motive cannot be ruled out.

“The state security agency has taken over the investigation on suspicion of bodily harm, insults, and damage to property,” police spokeswoman Ulrike Schaake confirmed.

As if attacking a middle-aged man you outnumber wasn’t cowardly enough, the gang ran away the moment the man managed to hit one of them back. Something that wouldn’t even have been necessary if any of the people witnessing the attack had stepped in to help him. Rather than do that, however, they laughed and applauded, according to the victim. But this did little to dampen the man’s Christmas spirit.

Once he recovered from the attack, he continued to his performance, albeit with a heavily damaged costume which prevented him from being able to take pictures with the children at the event. When speaking with local media, the man insisted this attack won’t prevent him from continuing his role as Santa Claus, though he’s going to be carrying pepper spray, next time.

• Three Muslims abduct and violently rape a 16-year-old Christian girl in Pakistan.
• In another attack in the same country, this time on a 15-year-old Christian girl, four men abduct her “at gunpoint” and “gang-raped” her.
• In Nigeria, Muslims including the employees of a college “abducted and forcibly converted” to Islam a 20-year-old Christian college student.
• There’s even a “well-financed campus group called the ‘Council of Muslim Sisters,’” which routinely “forcibly” converts students to Islam.
• In Egypt, an asylum seeker from Yemen has been jailed for nearly two years for “exercising his rights to freedom of expression, conscience and belief.”
• In Uganda, Sula Mugudi, 70, and his wife, Aisha, 62, returned from church to find their modest home destroyed – by their own relatives – because they were “an embarrassment to our Muslim family.”
• In the Congo, Muslims slaughtered 39 Christians, including 12 children, in a series of attacks.

And all that happened just in the month of October, according to Raymond Ibrahim, the Distinguished Senior Shillman Fellow at the Gatestone Institute. He’s also the Judith Rosen Friedman Fellow at the Middle East Forum.

The report cites an analysis from BitterWinter,org, which explained the assaults by Muslims are common, and while, “Some cases do land in courts. But it is not easy for the victims to win them. Sometimes, the victims are treated as if they were the perpetrators.”

The report outlines the attack on the 16-year-old in Pakistan, Persis Masih, who was apparently grabbed from her home after the rest of her family had left for church where her father is pastor.

The criminals dumped her, a day later, in front of her home.

“Her physical and emotional state in shambles,” the report said.

In that case, she identified an attacker and police actually took him into custody, even though “police in Pakistan are notorious for turning a blind eye to the persecution of Christians.”

Juliet Chowdhry, of the British Asian Christian Association, said of another, similar attack on a family: “It appears that this crime targeted them due to their vulnerability and the sense of impunity that perpetrators often feel when targeting marginalized communities.”

The 15-year-old? She was “forcibly converted to Islam and married to one of her captors.”

“Six months later, when her abductors were distracted with a funeral, Mishal managed to escape and return to her father’s home. But when she and her father went to report the kidnappers and rapists to police, ‘Not only did the officers refuse to investigate, but they also informed Michal’s captors of what was going on. The girl and her father had to go into hiding for fear of being killed,’” the report said.

Ibrahim reported on Kyrgyzstan, where, “Converts to Christianity are openly being targeted for persecution in the Central Asian Muslim nation.” There, ideologues are creating videos “calling for people to break into Christian communities and churches to capture the faces of believers on video and then distribute their images online to encourage persecution.”

The report noted in Uganda, “suspected Islamic terrorists” murdered three Christians in a national park including a guide and two tourists because they were accused of “supporting Christians.”

In Nigeria, “Muslim Fulani herdsmen raid a Christian village during the night ‘and sprayed bullets on the bodies of innocent people while sleep,’ ‘killing eight, an eyewitness said,” documented the report.

In other slaughters of Christians, Muslims used machetes.

In Iraq, “more than 100 Christians were burned alive after a fire broke out during a Christian wedding ceremony; another 150 attendees were seriously injured. Nearly 60 of those killed were directly related to the bride and groom,” the report said. The government said the fire was “accidental.”

Even in Italy, Muslims routinely vandalize Christian sites, including the bell tower of a church is Sacille, where they wrote the Islamic credo: “There is no god but allah.” Similar situations have developed in Germany and France, Greece and Sweden.

The Gatestone article also links to historic monthly reports documenting such persecution of Christians dating back more than a decade.

What Wray didn’t say is that the FBI has been investigating Hamas’ biggest ally in America for the past 30 years – without filing any charges. Launched in 1994 as a secret front organization to support Hamas, according to declassified FBI wiretap transcripts and FBI testimony, the Council on American-Islamic Relations has, in the decades since, become an accepted member of Washington’s lobbying community. The New York Times and other influential newspapers routinely describe CAIR as a “Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.”

Although it has not repudiated its support for Hamas – which is committed to the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people – CAIR was enlisted by the Biden administration in May to take part in a White House initiative to fight antisemitism.

On Oct. 7, the day Hamas terrorists butchered 1,400 Jews, including 33 Americans – raping many and abducting some 240 others to Gaza from southern Israel – CAIR’s national executive director, Nihad Awad, delivered an anti-Israel message in Arabic which seemed to justify what Hamas did. Translated into English, it read: “All Arab peoples must go out on Sunday, Oct. 8 – and every day – in demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and in rejection of normalization with the occupier and the apartheid regime [Israel].”

On Saturday afternoon, CAIR helped rally more than 100,000 Muslims in D.C. to instead condemn Israel for supposedly carrying out “genocide” in Gaza in response to the Oct. 7 attacks. Multiple speakers called for the destruction of Israel – and, by implication, the Jewish people there – by demanding Palestinians take all the lands “from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea.”

Awad was front and center, delivering a fiery speech bashing Israel and President Biden for not calling on Israel to stop bombing Hamas targets inside Gaza, which he called “genocidal attacks.” He threatened to hurt Biden at the ballot box in 2024 if he does not urge a ceasefire.

“We have discovered the language that President Biden understands: ‘No ceasefire, no votes,’” Awad bellowed to the crowd, which erupted into a chant repeating his words. “No votes in Michigan, no votes anywhere if you do not call for a ceasefire now. He then led a chant: “Free, free Palestine!”

Also, Awad promised to provide legal support to Muslim Americans who protest in support of Palestine. “We are with you,” he said. “The people of Gaza rely on your voices and activism.”

Protesters later marched on the White House, where they defaced the white brick gate of the Executive Mansion with red paint symbolizing the blood of Gazans who have died from the Israel army’s counterstrikes. Awad is on record declaring his support for Hamas. At Barry University in 1994, for example, he said: “I am in support of the Hamas movement.”

CAIR did not respond to requests for comment, but without addressing specifics, it has previously argued it “is not a ‘front group for Hamas.’” The FBI and White House declined to comment.

While CAIR is now a mainstay of American politics – headquartered just three blocks from the U.S. Capitol, with 35 offices across the country – its history reveals its close connections with terror groups such as Hamas, as I detailed in the 2009 book I co-authored with counterterrorism expert P. David Gaubatz, “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that’s Conspiring to Islamize America.”

The story began in the Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan in the 1960s, where Awad and a co-founder of CAIR, Omar Ahmad, were born. Both men eventually came to the United States for university studies. By 1992, Awad was a key member of the so-called Palestine Committee in America, which helped finance Hamas. According to a 1992 letter from the Gaza Strip, Hamas asked the Committee for money to buy “weapons, weapons, our brothers.” The letter continued: “The meaning of killing a Jew for the liberation of Palestine cannot be compared to any jihad on earth.”

Around the same time, the FBI was eavesdropping on several Hamas leaders in connection with terrorist activities, which produced tapes documenting the incarnation of CAIR in 1993. At a secret meeting that October, Omar Ahmad called to order the Hamas summit in Philly at a Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Philadelphia to discuss the formation of a new front organization to support their “movement” in America. Awad also attended the meeting.

According to court testimony by FBI agent Lara Burns, who runs a major counterterrorism program for the bureau, Ahmad, Awad, and the other leaders who gathered there hatched a scheme to disguise overseas payments to Hamas terrorists and their families as charity. FBI wiretaps also recorded them stating the need to deceive Americans about the true aims of their planned American front group as Hamas launched a campaign of terror attacks on Israel known as the “Intifada.”

They compared the deception to the “head fake” in basketball, where a shooter tricks an opponent guarding him into moving in a different direction. The group, according to the wiretap transcripts, envisioned an “alternative” organization whose pro-Palestinian stripes were “not very conspicuous.” Burns testified CAIR was what they had in mind. During the talks, they tried to mislead any authorities who might be listening in by referring to Hamas as “Samah” – Hamas spelled backward.

Ahmad would co-found CAIR in 1994, hiring Awad as executive director that same year. Both men have expressed hatred toward Israel and resentment toward their adopted country for helping fund and arm the Jewish nation.

Burns testified during the 2009 terrorism trial of a charitable front for Hamas known as the Holy Land Foundation. It was the largest terror funding case in U.S. history. As part of the court filings, the Justice Department included CAIR on a list of co-conspirators underwriting Hamas terrorism – though CAIR and its founders were never indicted in the case. The HLF, busted up as the main fundraising arm of Hamas in America, commingled funds, assets, and personnel with CAIR, according to tax records and court documents.

“CAIR has been identified by the government as a participant in an ongoing and ultimately unlawful conspiracy to support a designated terrorist organization [Hamas] – a conspiracy from which CAIR never withdrew,” said former Assistant U.S. Attorney James Jacks, who was the lead prosecutor in the case.

A number of FBI counterterrorism agents were frustrated that CAIR’s national office and executives were never charged in the conspiracy, although the founder of CAIR’s Texas chapter was sentenced to prison. They said politics intervened. After 9/11, they said FBI headquarters viewed CAIR as a link to the Muslim community through which they might obtain tips about terror threats to the homeland. Brass even invited CAIR officials up to the executive suites located on the 7^th floor of the Hoover building to discuss outreach policy.

“We said, ‘These are the bad guys, this is Hamas. What are you doing?’” former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo said, describing how he and other agents protested the special treatment afforded CAIR.

After CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF’s criminal scheme to funnel more than $12 million to Hamas terrorists, the FBI finally disengaged from the group. The agency stopped conducting formal outreach with CAIR’s national office until, it said, it could resolve issues with Awad and other worrisome leaders.

“Until we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and Hamas, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner,” then-Assistant FBI director Richard Powers said in a 2009 letter to the Senate.

But some investigators say the FBI should have shut down the group, not just the outreach program, issuing search warrants and conducting more intrusive surveillance, which they say would have allowed the government to run the Hamas front out of business.

“CAIR is the leading Hamas entity inside the United States, and the FBI has taken no action to prosecute them,” said Guandolo, who helped lead several major counterterrorism probes at the Washington field office after 9/11. He explained that “politically correct” FBI leadership is hesitant to go after a minority religious group and is overly sensitive to charges of “Islamophobia” often leveled by CAIR against its critics.

The FBI’s reluctance to roll up the Hamas front has pushed private investigators to take matters into their own hands. In 2008, a counterterrorism specialist led a team of investigators in a daring undercover operation of CAIR that included infiltrating its national headquarters located on New Jersey Avenue in Washington, D.C., near the Capitol Building. Working as interns, the investigators, who posed as recent converts to Islam wearing traditional Muslim garb, secretly video-recorded conversations with CAIR officials. During the six-month operation, they also intercepted more than 12,000 pages of documents CAIR intended to shred as trash. The evidence, which was turned over to the FBI, is documented in “Muslim Mafia,” which also features an appendix with several key internal CAIR documents reprinted.

Among other things, the book revealed that CAIR employed violent Islamic terrorists, and then supported the terrorists behind the scenes even after they were convicted. It also uncovered an influence operation against members of key homeland security committees in Congress that included planting CAIR operatives in congressional offices. Internal CAIR documents laid out a plan to elect dozens of pro-Hamas Muslims to Congress. CAIR even started holding Muslim prayer sessions each Friday in the basement of the Capitol.

“Muslim Mafia” also traced the deeper roots of Hamas back to the secretive Muslim Brotherhood, the pro-jihad group founded in Egypt that built a sophisticated network of Islamic nonprofits inside the U.S. several decades ago. The book documented how Muslim Brotherhood leaders wrote a secret blueprint for “destroying [America] from within … so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” FBI investigators discovered the manifesto stashed in a sub-basement of a Brotherhood leader’s home in Annandale, Va., after raiding his residence as part of a terrorism probe.

Several alarmed Republican members of Congress held a press conference about the book’s findings, warning a Hamas terror front group was infiltrating Congress.

Besides exposing Hamas’ political arm in America, the book exposed the inner workings of the broader anti-Israel lobby, which includes several leftwing groups aligned with CAIR. This lobby is now revealing itself in the wake of Israel’s own 9/11.

“The seeds for 9/11 were planted in 1948,” according to a draft of a “Proposed Muslim Platform” found at CAIR’s headquarters. “A resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict needs to be based on recognizing and correcting the harm that was done to the Palestinians since 1948,” when the United Nations partitioned land for Israel.

Guandolo said Hamas proved just how dangerous it is on Oct. 7. He warned that the terrorist group has already penetrated American society, and CAIR is the tip of the spear.

“Currently, CAIR is directing efforts at the ground level across the United States with organizations known for violent extremism,” he added in a recent interview with RealClearInvestigations. “Again, the FBI is doing nothing to adhere to their oaths of office and protect the American people.”

State-run media reports indicate the airport in Makhachkala, the capital of the majority-Muslim southeastern region of Russia, was closed due the situation and riot police have been deployed.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to the riot in his rival state in a post on X: “Appalling videos from Makhachkala, Russia, where an angry mob broke into the airport searching for Israeli citizens on the flight from Tel-Aviv. This is not an isolated incident in Makhachkala but rather part of Russia’s widespread culture of hatred toward other nations, which is propagated by state television, pundits, and authorities. The Russian foreign minister has made a series of antisemitic remarks in the last year. The Russian President also used antisemitic slurs. For Russian propaganda talking heads on official television, hate rhetoric is routine. Even the most recent Middle East escalation prompted antisemitic statements from Russian ideologists. Russian antisemitism and hatred toward other nations are systemic and deeply rooted. Hatred is what drives aggression and terror. We must all work together to oppose hatred.”

Few conservatives were surprised to see leftists justifying the kidnapping, raping, and murdering of innocent Israeli and non-Israeli civilians, but some lucid Democrats might have been surprised. Particularly Jewish and Muslim Democrats should have been shocked and must now question their ideological allegiance.

I say “the left” because things have changed. There was a time not too long ago when such displays of idiocy  would be labeled as the “radical left” or the “far left” but today, it’s just the left. Their Overton Window has made even former “moderates” accept men pretending to be women, mentally disabled men pretending to be politicians, and criminals pretending to be victims. It’s no wonder that they would now claim terrorist monsters as their heroes.

For practicing Jews, this should be a no-brainer, even for those who support “Palestine” or a two-state solution. One does not have to be Orthodox to realize the left’s anti-Semitism is coming out in full force right before our eyes. And one does not have to support the Israeli government or their actions in order to support the security and freedom of the Israeli people.

As for Muslims, what does the left really think of you? They are promoting the idea that the plight of Hamas is the plight of all “Palestinians,” and that the plight of “Palestinians” is the plight of all Muslims. Therefore, the actions of Hamas should be supported by all who claim to practice Islam. And it’s not just the left in America that is promoting the concept. Calls from across the world demand that all Muslims participate in this jihad.

It is long-past time for politically progressive Jews and Muslims to wake up to how the left and the Democrat Party view them. For those who haven’t been paying attention the last couple of years, the left demands full-embrace of all ideological stances. It’s all or nothing. This is why I am very doubtful that the Biden-Harris regime and other Democrats currently supporting Israel will be doing so a few weeks from now.

As the war drags on and reports of Israeli “atrocities” in Gaza spread, Democrats (and many Republicans) who currently support Israel in the aftermath of the shocking events from last week will start calling for moderation. They’ll start asking and then demanding that Israel ease off of their mission to purge Gaza of Hamas.

When this happens, the original aggressors and their allies will be seen as victims. The monsters of Hamas will become martyrs in the eyes of the left, even those who currently claim to support Israel. And that shift will further damage the lives of both Jews and Muslims in America.

Walk away now. In fact, run away now. Jews who do not want their people slaughtered and Muslims who do not want to be affiliated with terrorists will find themselves in the left’s crosshairs very soon.

This distressing development underlines the kingdom’s complete intolerance of free speech and underscores escalating attempts to suppress dissent, gaining international criticism.

Predominantly employed for prosecuting terrorism-related cases, the Saudi Specialized Criminal Court indicted al-Ghamdi with a slew of profound charges, among which were “betraying his religion,” “impugning the kingdom and the crown prince,” “conspiring against the government,” and “disturbing the society’s security.” These grave offenses all trace back to his online activity, which entailed sharing opinions critical of the government.

What makes this case convoluted is that al-Ghamdi’s brother, Saeed bin Nasser al-Ghamdi, who resides in the UK, is renowned for his critical stance towards the Saudi regime. The latter believes this sentence against his brother is a mere ploy to get to him.

This tactic of targeting family members as a means to exert pressure on critics abroad is not uncommon, according to activists and those who have faced similar persecutions in the past.

Not surprisingly, this verdict has resonated internationally, inducing reproach from global human rights groups.

As the death penalty handed to al-Ghamdi underlines, the right to express dissent is notably endangered in the kingdom. The message being transmitted is ominous and unequivocal: any voice, however quiet or loud, daring to dissent, is at risk. Even a mere tweet could warrant a fatal outcome, heralding a profoundly disquieting future for free speech in Saudi Arabia.

The current riots in France are literally burning down parts of the nation. They were prompted by the police killing of a 17-year-old Muslim boy, Nahel M. What started as protests in the beginning of the week has escalated to what some are calling a mini-civil war.

“Athena,” available on Netflix, begins with the police beating of a Muslim teen that resulted in his death. While one brother calls for peace, another brother rallies his Algerian-French brethren to begin an insurrection in their French city. Riot police are called in to stop the violence and things escalate out of control of the government. Buildings and cars are burned. Fireworks are fired at police. Bystanders are harmed. So, pretty much what’s happening in cities across France today.

The biggest difference between the movie and what’s happening in real life is that the movie reveals the “police” who beat the boy were actually right-wing extremists trying to exacerbate racial unrest. Because of course that’s what movies today want everyone to believe.

Here’s the trailer:

Okay, so maybe there’s a chance this is predictive programming after all.

The combination of massive migration from Muslim nations combined with radical leftist policies from Emmanuel Macron’s government has created the perfect conditions for what we’re seeing today. The only question is whether this is an unfortunate unintended consequence of the Globalist Elite Cabal’s plans for Europe or if everything is moving along right on schedule.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee is a stereotypical leftist Democrat. Some might even say we can look at him as the standard for the modern Democrat Party — radically woke, militantly anti-freedom, and devoid of any public attachments to reality. That’s why his Tweets about Ramadan and Easter are so different. They give us a clear view into the collective mentality of today’s Democrats.

Here’s what he said about Ramadan:

In observation of Ramadan, we extend our warmest wishes to our Muslim friends and neighbors. May your fasting and prayers bring peace, happiness, and prosperity. Ramadan Mubarak! #Ramadan #RamadanMubarak #RamadanKareem

It’s a respectful post that highlights his reverence and appreciation. He mentioned specific aspects of the Muslim holiday, demonstrating that this wasn’t just a passing, “Happy Ramadan” Tweet.

Now, compare to how he noted Passover:

To all those gathering around a Seder table this evening, Trudi and I wish you a happy Passover. Chag Sameach!

This was far less involved and far more generic. Clearly, he holds the Jewish holiday in lower regard than its Muslim counterpart. At least he mentioned Seder.

Now, compare to what he said about Easter:

Hopping into Easter Sunday with joy and laughter – Trudi and I wish everyone a hoppy and egg-citing Easter! #HappyEaster

He is mocking us. He didn’t mention anything about the actual holy day. Instead, he made a conspicuous and clumsy attempt to make this a rabbit holiday.

To anyone who might think the disparity is unintentional, let me state this with absolute clarity. All three Tweets were meticulously crafted to send the exact message Democrats want portrayed. They desperately want to downplay Christianity and to a lesser extent Judaism while bowing to Islam and steering everyone into their true religions of Climate Change Hysteria and the LBGTQIA+ Supremacy Cult.

The war against the faith is accelerating. This is our one and only warning. Within years — not decades — Christianity will be all but outlawed in the United States if Democrats have their way. I am not being an alarmist. This is the path they are on and they won’t stop themselves.

This isn’t new. As mentioned before, Barack Obama used to be mild about abortions, allegedly against gay marriage, and at least pretending to be Christian. Today, he demands as many abortions and gay marriages as possible while ramping up direct attacks against the Bible.

Even Inslee demonstrated pro-Muslim tendencies before. As Todd Hermann noted on Twitter, Inslee’s 2021 Ramadan Tweet even had a revering video:

Contrast and compare: the Satanic @GovInslee on Easter Vs Ramadan pic.twitter.com/FNjmhLTpu1

Nearly everything Democrats are doing against freedom, conservatism, patriotism, and sovereignty in the United States ties directly to their war against the faith. Until more people acknowledge this, we will not be able to mount a proper counter-offensive.
