UK: Israeli Ambassador Mobbed at University Event

 

It's happened yet again, this time in London. The Israeli ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, was at a speaking event at the London School of Economics Tuesday night. The pro-Palestinian thugs were out in force and brought shame and embarrassment to the school. The linked article has a video of the ambassador being escorted out of the building to her car by security.

Of course, this is par for the course when it comes to the pro-Palestinian mob. I find it curious that while Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza engage in violence and terrorism to advance their cause, their supporters abroad engage in intimidation and disruption to advance that same cause.

Did I say "curious"? Silly me. It makes perfect sense.

CAIR's Latest Propaganda Offensive

Hat tip Steve


The Southern California chapter of CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) is engaged in a new propaganda venture. Together with the liberal attorney general of California, Rob Bonta, they are setting up something called the Center for the Prevention of Hate and Bullying (CPHB), which will be devoted to stop bullying of Muslim children in schools.

 https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-la-announces-launch-of-new-center-dedicated-to-combatting-hate-crimes-bullying-in-southern-california/

Let me be clear: To the extent that any Muslim child might be bullied in school due to his or her religion is wrong and should be confronted and stopped. Bullying among children is a sad fact of life. I was bullied as a child, and to my great regret, I engaged in bullying too. Bullying also goes on between children of the same race or religious background.

Having said that, it would be nice if CAIR's Southern California chapter CEO, Hussam Ayloush, a man with whom I have crossed swords, showed the same concern for Jewish kids who are being bullied, not just in secondary schools, but in universities as well.

I might also point out that Ayloush is hardly the right person to be leading campaigns against anything. This is a man who many have said is a bully himself. This is the man who asked-in my presence- why people were talking about fighting extremism in mosques and talking about  Muslim Americans who traveled to join ISIS and not talking about the "thousands of Jewish American kids who were joining the Israel Defense Forces and killing the people of Gaza". Don't take my word on that. Here is the video of Ayloush speaking at the Orange County Islamic Center in January 2015. The video was shot by Yours Truly. Ayloush is hardly concerned about Jewish students being bullied directly as a result of the campaign of hate directed toward the Jewish state of Israel by Ayloush, CAIR, and their cohorts too numerous to list here.

Years later  (May 2019), when I attempted to ask Ayloush about that specific comment, he refused to even address the question. He simply attacked the questioner.

According to this report from the Investigative Project on Terrorism, on October 22, 2000, Ayloush spoke at a protest in front of the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles. On that occasion, members of the Muslim Student Association UCLA were reportedly chanting, "Death to Israel; death to Jews". (I am unaware of any existing video of that.)

As stated above, all bullying is wrong, and I don't want to see Muslim kids bullied. I suspect, however, that this latest venture by Ayloush and his organization (CAIR) is more designed to silence criticism of Islam than it has to do with bullying. 

The ADL Must Follow Words With Actions

This article first appeared in Times of Israel Blogs

Jonathan Greenblatt

This week, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is hosting an event tackling the problem of anti-Semitism. It is entitled, “Never is Now” and features several speakers including Vice President Kamala Harris. The New York-based web outlet, Algemeiner, has obtained an advance copy of ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt’s speech, which it has discussed in the linked article.

If that is the theme of Greenblatt’s theme, I hope it represents a shift in the position of the ADL regarding anti-Semitism. Greenblatt is on the left of the political spectrum, but even under the ADL’s previous CEO, Abraham Foxman, the organization tended to focus on anti-Semitism coming from radical white quarters while largely ignoring anti-Semitism from the left, particularly from Muslim quarters. It is precisely the latter form of anti-Semitism that has been running rampant on North American university campuses, sparked by the pro-Palestinian movement, that has dominated campus discourse for over two decades, and which has directly led to harassment of Jews on campus. The problem has now metastasized into society at large with Jews now being attacked on our city streets. In my view, the overwhelming majority of these attacks come from those we would normally identify with the left.

If that is the thesis of Greenblatt’s speech this week, then he should follow that up with greater attention being paid to the campus problem.  The ADL should devote more attention to groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and the various chapters of the Muslim Student Association, many of whom use SJP as their action arm when it comes to disrupting Jewish events on campus.

I have said this many times, and it bears repeating. In the years I was actively involved in this issue while teaching part-time at the University of California at Irvine, the ADL was missing in action when it came to the annual anti-Israel week of events every May. Yes, their local representative(s) would be there watching, but they never became involved in challenging the vicious rhetoric coming out of the mouths of invited speakers for the SJP and/or the Muslim Student Union. Foxman once addressed a Jewish group in Newport Beach and denied there was a problem on the UCI campus. I was not present myself, but a close friend of mine was. It was he who asked Foxman to comment on the issue. Foxman stated that the Jewish students and the university administration had it all under control. They clearly did not.

I also question the invitation to Vice President Harris to speak. While it is nice to have any vice president address your group, Harris has questionable credentials when it comes to this issue. Her words as quoted in the Algemeiner article are fine, but why didn’t she say something like that when she visited a college campus recently (George Mason University) and listened to a student accuse Israel of genocide? Instead, she mumbled something about how it was so important for “your truth to be heard”. Harris would be a more appropriate speaker for a group hosted by someone like Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib, not the ADL.

To the extent that anti-Semitism is coming from those on the right, or by neo-Nazis, or KKK types, they are to be condemned. It is my position, however, that the greater problem is coming from the left, as most of the attacks would indicate. That includes the opponents of Israel and the pro-Palestinian activists, who hold sway on our campuses. Jews are now the most vulnerable group in the US-and the world. The problem cannot be effectively addressed unless we are prepared to name ALL perpetrators and identity the greatest threat. The words of Greenblatt this week are welcome, but words must be followed by action.

Western Europe Shows No Sign of Waking Up

 This article first appeared in New English Review.


Another knife attack on a European train


A few days ago, German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer told the media that Germany was one of the safest countries in the world. On Saturday, November 6, he was eating his words as he was forced to make the standard statement of shock when a 27-year-old Syrian refugee stabbed three passengers on a train from Regensburg to Nuremberg. Thus far, none have died.

As things stand now, the attacker is In a PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL due to indications he is mentally ill. That is the standard line in Germany and other Western European countries. German police have stated that there is no indication of an Islamic-inspired terrorist attack. Pending his psychiatric evaluation, the man is charged with attempted murder.

Meanwhile, out-going German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, when asked about the refugee issue in her country, told interviewers that “We have done it”. This is a reference to her remark when the invasion began in earnest in 2015, (“Wir schaffen dass”-We can do this). The phrase has become a punch line for her critics.

Meanwhile, the president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, continues to send thousands of Middle Eastern migrants across his borders into Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. As I wrote, hundreds of migrants are storming the Belarus-Poland border trying to break into the latter country, from where the next stop with be Germany. Poland, along with her East European neighbors, is doing all it can to stop them.

Eastern European members of the EU are not willing to accept migrants from predominantly Muslim countries. Having recently broken free from the clutches of the old Soviet Union and communism, and seeing the mayhem and carnage in Western Europe, they are unwilling to see their countries re-occupied by other destructive forces. For this, they have earned the ire of their fellow EU members in Western Europe who want to impose sanctions for those countries who will not “accept their fair share.”

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has gone even further. He wants Hungary expelled from the EU over that country’s recent decision to ban teaching of the LGBTQ agenda to schoolchildren. In response, Dutch opposition leader, Geert Wilders, has asked in which country are gays safer from attack, Hungary or the Netherlands? The answer is obvious. The Netherlands, historically famous for being a refuge for homosexuals, Jews, and other marginalized groups, is no longer safe for gays and Jews due to the presence of so many recently-arrived Muslims, who bring with them a centuries-old, religious-based hostility to both groups.

Meanwhile, the flood of migrants from the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Africa continues unabated. The boats continue to land in Lampedusa, the Italian island off the coast of Sicily, the Spanish border enclaves at Ceuta and Melilla are periodically stormed, and the Western European governments and their masters in Brussels (EU) just wring their hands. And with each attack, each innocent victim stabbed, raped, run over, murdered, one thinks to oneself: “Will the Western Europeans now finally wake up?” Thus far, there are no signs that they will.

Germany: Knife attack on train wounds 3- Syrian man arrested

It has happened again. This morning, on a train between Regensburg and Nuremberg, a 27-year-old Syrian refugee stabbed three passengers, injuring all seriously. He was quickly apprehended by police. (Hat tip to an anonymous reader who sent the news in.)

Three more sacrificial victims on the altar of Angela Merkel's insane immigration-refugee policy.

Three injured in  attack on ICE (Inter City Express train) Witness reports

"Travelers shouted: 'There is a stabber!"

Syrian attacker (27) arrested

by Karl Keim

Nov. 6, 2021-17:46 (Updated)

Seubersdorf (Bavaria)- On an Inter-city express train between Regensburg and Nuremberg on Saturday morning, there was a knife attack. Three people were seriously injured, BILD learned. The victims were three men, (ages 26, 39, 60).

Renate Kamman (77) was standing right in the aisle when she heard the screams of the other passengers: "They shouted, 'There is a stabber. Everyone back!' They almost ran over me." 

Ludvig Faust (68), who was sitting in the train says, " We heard a scream. People came running out of car number 4. I wanted to know what was going on, then I suddenly saw a man on the ground. Fortunately, the police were there incredibly quickly."

The knife attacker was arrested at the scene. According to BILD's information, it is a 27-year-old Syrian, Abdalrahman A.  He reportedly has had psychological problems and called for help on the train. He reportedly came to Germany in 2014 and is a recognized refugee.

By chance, special police forces were on board the train

In the Inner City Express from Regensburg to Hamburg, there sat about 300 passengers. Luck: Two special deployment trains of the Support Commandos (Special forces of the Bavarian police) were on their way to a football match in Regensburg and were in the immediate vicinity at the time of the crime.

The evacuated passengers, at this time, are being cared for in a room near the Seubersdorf train station in Neumarkt District in the Upper Palatinate, said a spokesperson on Saturday afternoon.

Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (72, CSU) thanked the police and the train personnel. His spokesman, Steve Alter, posted a statement of Seehofer on Twitter. 

Tweet:

Federal Interior Minister Seehofer:

"The awful knife attack on ICE is frightening. I hope that the injured and those who had to experience the incident quickly and completely recover. I thank everyone, especially the police and train personnel, for their intervention by which worse could be prevented. Through quick action, no further danger exists for others. The background of the incident is as yet not clear and will now be cleared up. Only then will an evaluation be possible."

Bavaria's interior minister, Joachim Hermann (65, CSU), also commented on the knife attack. Hermann to BILD: "I am shocked over the terrible knife attack that took place on the ICE to Hamburg. My thanks to the police and rescue personnel for the quick intervention and assistance to the injured passengers." He expressed the wish to the injured that they recover as soon as possible from the attack.

Meanwhile, the investigation is in progress. "The police are working hard to clear up the background of the awful crime and the motive of the perpetrator as fast as possible. It must also be checked as to what extent psychological problems exist," said Hermann.

The attack took place near Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate. The police headquarters of the Upper Palatinate were on the scene with a large contingent. Criminal Police and forensic teams were on the ICE collecting evidence.

The train route Regensburg-Nuremberg has been closed since morning. Other trains on the route were initially held back at suitable stations, said a spokesperson for German Rail at noon. Meanwhile, long-distance traffic has been diverted to Ingolstadt. For passengers, that means a 30-60-minute longer travel time. When the stretch will be again opened is still open to question. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update (Hat tip Gates of Vienna.

Ironically, the same interior minister, Horst Seehofer, had just been quoted earlier as saying that "Germany was one of the safest countries in the world." That may have been true a few short years ago, but it is not true today.

Cole vs Coal



"As the baleful effects of global heating become more and more apparent– as our forests burn, our coasts flood and face level 6 hurricanes, our port cities submerge, our wildlife dies off en masse — people will turn on the merchants of death whose deadly products caused this mayhem."

-Juan Cole


Most of the world may be laughing at climate activist Greta Thunberg for her silly protest in Glasgow this week-as I did. University of Michigan comedian Juan Cole is taking it deadly seriously, however. Today's episode of his misnamed blog, Informed Comment, not only features a piece about Greta's statement co-written by Code Pink leader and kook Medea Benjamin............


Ahem.

As I was saying, Juan Cole has added his own piece condemning of all things......coal! (No, not Cole though that would have made more sense.)

 https://www.juancole.com/2021/11/question-manchin-diamonds.html

"Coal needs to be outlawed, yesterday."

And there is this description, of West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, arguably the only sane Democrat in Washington.

"Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia is a coal baron and has gone to bat against green energy proposals in Joe Biden’s Build Back Better bill in Congress on behalf of coal and other dangerous fossil fuels. Manchin has made millions off his coal investments, which is very much like making money off blood diamonds in Africa. The money may be beautiful sitting there in Manchin’s bank accounts, but it comes from killing people."

"And no, he is not a nice guy. He is a high functioning sociopath."

This kind of overheated rhetoric (no pun intended) does not suit the learned professor from Ann Arbor well. Of course, Manchin represents a state noted for cole  coal mines. As for coal itself, it is, of course, not a pleasant substance to be around and has caused the premature deaths of many coal miners. But they know the risks when they take on the job. It has always been that way. 

Of course, Cole knows that to immediately shut down the coal industry, just like the oil industry, would shut down our economy. In his world, wind and solar will make up the difference. 


"C'mon, Man!"

(Even Old Joe knows better than that.)

Juan Cole may fancy himself a scientific expert (He is a history professor and a lousy one at that) but in my humble opinion, he just wants to tear down the country, and this is another way to do it.

Netherlands: Asylum Center Overflowing, Crime in Ter Apel, No Questions Allowed in Parliament




The Netherlands' largest asylum-seeker center is located in the small town of Ter Apel, near Groningen. It is currently overflowing with asylum-seekers, and the local townspeople are complaining about crime, theft, and assaults against bus drivers.

Dutch opposition leader Geert Wilders last week paid a visit to Ter Apel and wanted to ask questions in Parliament about the issue to Premier Mark Rutte. He was not allowed to, however.

The below article from Dagelijkse Standaard is translated by Fousesquawk. We are working on translating a video showing interviews of local residents (pending).

Geert Wilders angry at D66-Parliamentary leader who does not allow Parliamentary questions on Ter Apel (Asylum Center): "Unbelievable"

https://www.dagelijksestandaard.nl/2021/11/geert-wilders-kwaad-op-d66-kamervoorzitter-die-kamervragen-ter-apel-niet-toestaat-ongelooflijk/

By Bart Reijmerink, 2 November 2021

Recently PVV leader Geert Wilders was on a visit in Ter Apel. This after the local asylum center was full of asylum seekers and the mayor had sounded the alarm several times. Wilders wanted to encourage the residents and had, after his visit, submitted a few oral questions. These questions were rejected by the D-66 Parliamentary chairperson, Vera Bergkamp.

Wilders is not pleased with the fact that his oral questions were rejected by the Chamber chairperson. He intended to confront caretaker premier Mark Rutte with his ill-advised open border policy. The result of this policy Wilders saw for himself last week in Ter Apel.

Unfortunately, he doesn't get the chance from the Parliamentary chairperson to critically test Rutte.

Wilders tweet:

"The D-66 Parliamentary chairperson will not allow my oral questions to Premier Rutte on the very relevant topic of asylum violence against bus drivers and the disastrous results of the asylum tsunami for the people in Ter Apel and the rest of the Netherlands. Cannot (be asked). Unbelievable!"

So Wilders doesn't get the chance to point out the "asylum tsunami", while the Central Organ for the Reception of Asylum-Seekers (COA) is once again ringing the bell. Despite the fact that the communities have jumped in with rules for additional reception places, people in the Netherlands will again be hit with considerable problems at the end of this month, reported by NOS (News). 

Since August, almost 7,000 spaces have been added, but more than 3/4ths of these are temporary.  In other words, the existing problem is never solved. Which makes it incomprehensible that the PVV- leader cannot pose his questions in the Second Chamber. The problem gets bigger by the week but remains in this manner practically unaddressed in Parliament. People in The Hague cannot wait much longer because then the "turnips are again cooked" at the COA.

Greta Thunberg Wows' em in Glasgow

"No more blah blah blah"


 Joe Biden wasn't the only bizarre presence in Glasgow for the UN climate shindig this week. Greta Thunberg, Sweden's Sweetheart, was also there putting in her two kronors worth.

France: Principal Bataclan Defendant Testifies


Salah Abdeslam

-Photo: Italia Post


On Tuesday, the trial against Salah Abdeslam, surviving member of the horrific attacks in Paris and St-Denis that took 130 lives on November 13, 2015, spoke before the court in Paris. The below article from France 24 is translated by Fousesquawk.

At the November 13 attacks trial, Salah Abdeslam describes himself as a "calm" child

Caption: Salah Abdeslam during his speech 2 November 2021 at Paris/Benoit Peyrouq, AFP (Agence France Presse)

On Tuesday, the special criminal court in Paris began questioning the principal defendant of the attacks of November 13, Salah Abdeslam, on the course of his life before the attacks.

After (experiencing) the horror with the testimony of survivors and relatives of the victims, the special criminal court of Paris entered a new phase on Tuesday, November 2 with the personal questioning of the 14 defendants present at the trial of the November 13, 2015 attacks.

Following in part an "alphabetical order", the court began the sequence at the start of the afternoon with the questioning of Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the Islamic State commandos who caused 130 deaths and hundreds of injured at Paris and St-Denis on November 13, 2015.

The childhood of Abdeslam

(Appearing ) in a grey vest, light shirt, short-cropped hair, and black beard, Salah Abdeslam first stated his date and place of birth as 15 September 1989 in Brussels. Son of Moroccan immigrants, he then stated that he had but one nationality, French nationality, his parents having lived in France before moving to Belgium.

"I am the fourth of five siblings. I have three older brothers, a younger sister. What do you want to know?", continued Salah Abdeslam in a calm voice tinged with a light Belgian accent, his hands folded together in front of him in the dock. Asked to talk about his childhood, scribed it as "very simple", added that he was "a calm, nice person".

The court then quickly went on to his school record-Salah Abdeslam presenting himself as a "good student"- and his first professional experiences. Then it dwelled on his criminal record before examining the conditions of detention since his arrest in Belgium in March 2016 after four months on the run.

After Salah Abdeslam, three other defendants would be questioned during the day, his childhood friend, Mohamed Abrini, "the man with the hat" in the Brussels attacks, Farid Kharkhach, and Yassine Atar.

Since the opening of the trial on September 8, the principal defendant spectacularly broke with the almost total silence he had observed since his arrest in this case, justifying several times, the worst attacks committed on French soil.

Steelers Beat Brown(shirts): Hitler Reacts

My latest Hitler parody masterpiece.


Hitler's favorite football team, the Cleveland Brownshirts, played their arch-rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday in Cleveland. Suffice to say there were a lot of mistakes by the lake in that game. One mistake was Steeler coach Mike Tomlin having his kicker, Chris Boswell,  try a fake field goal, which resulted in him getting knocked out of the game with a concussion.

But, alas, all the other mistakes were by the favored Brownshirts. Result: Steelers beat the Boys in Brown 15-10. That did not sit well with the Fuehrer in his Berlin bunker. All in all, it was just a bad day at the office for the Brownshirts' number one fan.

Note: For those of you unfamiliar with Germany, the reference to Grafenwoehr is where Rommel trained his Panzer Korps. It is now a US Army training ground in the middle of Nowhere. In short, you don't wanna go there. Then again, who wants to go to Cleveland?


Germany: Does the Media Downplay Muslim Anti-Semitism?

Hat tip PI News-Politically Incorrect (Germany). Translation by Fousesquawk.


The conservative German website, PI-News-Politically Incorrect, has an interesting analysis of a German news documentary on anti-Semitism in Germany. While covering anti-Semitic demonstrations by Muslims in four German cities, ZDF (Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen-German Public Television 2 (Rheinland Palatinate) video states that "most perpetrators are assigned to the right, but there is also a lot of hostility from Muslims," even though they are told by Jews that anti-Semitic attacks consistently come from Muslims-not right-wingers. That comment has led PI to conclude that ZDF is downplaying Muslim anti-Semitism.

The below accompanying written article is translated by Fousesquawk.

ZDF* reports on Islamic Jew hatred-and quickly downplays it

*ZDF: Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen-German Public Television 2 (Rheinland Palatinate)

October 29, 2021

By Manfred Black- In an 8-minute film, the last edition of ZDF's magazine, Frontal, is about fanatical anti-Semitism from Muslims in 4 German cities.  It's not just about evil insults, rather it is about evil, violent acts.

Even the moderator in this Frontal issue downplays Muslim anti-Semitism: "Most anti-Semitic acts are assigned to the right, but there is also a lot of hostility from Muslims." The truth is: The shoe turns the other way.

The ZDF editorial staff apparently closes itself off from the truth, which is described in detail in their own film. The world view of these ZDF editors is apparently nailed down; Facts that do not fit their beliefs-their ideology- are simply ignored. Even the best-their own journalistic research- apparently doesn't help.

 In Cologne, militant Muslims demand the destruction of Israel

Two ZDF employees were on the road in Cologne, Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen, and Hagen for the Frontal broadcast. From all 4 cities, the TV team broadcast images and audio which showed that Muslim anti-Semitism is spreading more and more radically.

For example, on the Cologne Heumarkt, a crowd recently chanted in solidarity with Mohammed Deif, the commander of the military arm of Hamas, the Qassam Brigade. This powerful, Arab military unit wants no compromise with Israel. This state in the Middle East must be wiped out.

In the middle of Germany, hundreds of demonstrators demanded the destruction of Jewish Israel. And a number of police stood by doing nothing. The Frontal film let a passerby comment, someone who had observed the loud hate. This citizen says that these images are disturbing because they were taken in a country whose government today officially describes the existence of Israel as part of its own reason for being. In a country in which 6 million Jews were murdered.

An Arab almost knocks a Jew's eye out

Just in September, there was a brutal anti-Semitic act of violence in the street. PI-News reported on it. At regular intervals, Jews and some of their friends meet in the Hanse City in front of the train station in a "vigil for Israel and against anti-Semitism."

For one of the demonstrators, the vigil ended with a serious punch in the face: Michael T. suffered serious injuries, had to be operated on, and is now threatened with blindness.

Immediately before the act of violence, he and his mother standing nearby were insulted: "Sons of whores", "Free Palestine", "Shit-Jews", and, "I'll fu-- your mother"- that's what several noticeably young political activists shouted. 

The perpetrator, who struck him and was later arrested, is just 16 years old. The press speaks about a "curly-haired" (person). His name is Aram A., he is Muslim, and lives in Berlin with his Arab parents. His mother, who according to research by BILD, "is regularly at demonstrations that support the radical-Islamist Hizbollah and the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad," has explained that her family is "against Israel". This can also be read about at PI-News.

The young attacker is under contract with a Berlin film agency. He has already played one of the major roles in a major film. It is a Holocaust film, in which Aram A. took the role of an anti-Jewish bully.

"Never attacked by Nazis or the right"

The initiator of the vigil in front of the Hamburg train station, Andreas Müller, was interviewed in the Frontal article.  Müller formulated clear words: "Everyone talks about anti-Semitism from the right. In 6 years here, we have never been attacked by Nazis or the right. We are always harassed and spit on by Muslims.  "You shit-Jews why are you here?" That's what we regularly hear. It's now normal."

The Frontal article also shows that there was a strong demonstration against Israel in Gelsenkirchen and that in Hagen, a Muslim youth was prevented at the last minute from setting off a bomb in the local synagogue.

Western Europe: Jews fear Muslims

But this film sequence doesn't prevent the Frontal editorial staff in their presentation from claiming that anti-Semitism today is mainly from the "right".

There is certainly right-extremism, especially in some territorial states. But this right extremism, by far,  cannot be compared in quantity with the violent acts of fanatics, especially in larger cities, by the ranks in which tens of thousands of Muslims belong. Not to mention terrorists in Western Europe.

These facts do nothing to change the practice observed in many places by police authorities in the case of anti-Semitic attacks or graffiti whose perpetrators are not known, simply and falsely attributing them to "rightwing" perpetrators. Experts know that the majority of these involve Muslim or radical-left perpetrators.

The majority of the extreme-left Antifa scene is strongly anti-Israel oriented. That applies also to a large part of the Die Link (The Left) party, and occasionally also to the Greens. 

Inversion of values

Jan Fleischhauer-who wrote for a number of years as a commentator for Der Spiegel and is now a Focus columnist- has, for some time, spoken of an "inversion of values" in a similar context. Political truth nowadays has been turned on its head.

 In the media, like a prayer wheel, it is falsely claimed that Jews today all over the Federal Republic, have a fear of the "rightists". In reality, Jewish citizens here in this country and in all West European lands, generally fear radical Muslims. 

The left ideology of a large part of German journals-almost continuously marked by a pronounced (pro) Muslim friendliness- is not shaken by any facts. They always want to put Muslim outrages in the background-or if possible, not even take notice of them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fousesquawk comment: I am not clear on this question. While the ZDF documentary is clearly focused on Muslim anti-Semitism in Germany, that one comment has caused PI-a German blog- to state that ZDF, like most German media, is downplaying Muslim anti-Semitism while focusing on anti-Semitism from the right. I'm not sure that was the intent of this film and ZDF, but far be it for me to argue with native German speakers. We are working on getting a full English translation of the video.  Irregardless, what is clear is that there is a big problem with anti-Semitism within Muslim communities in Germany and the rest of Western Europe.

Rutgers Professor Brittney Cooper's Latest

Hat tip The College Fix



"Michael Harriot sat down with noted scholar and Crunk Feminist Collective co-founder Brittney Cooper to dispel some myths about CRT."


“The thing I want to say to you is that we gotta take these motherfuckers out, but like, we can’t say that, right?,” 

-Brittney Cooper, Rutgers: "Dispelling myths"

Rutgers University professor Brittney Cooper has darkened the pages of this site on several occasions with her outrageous comments on race. Yet, after this latest outburst, one wonders how long Rutgers can tolerate the shame and embarrassment she brings to that institution, which is supposed to be an elite university.

In a September interview with something called The Root Institute, Cooper launched into a full-blown attack on white people in general with the "scholarly" comment, "....we gotta take these motherf---ers out".

One of the "myths" Cooper was supposed to "dispel" in that interview was that CRT demonizes white people as being inherently racist.  If that is a myth, I would say she only reinforced it.



It's not just Rutgers football that needs rebuilding from the ashes.
