‘You are unfit to serve in the House’: Congressman hits out at Squad member Ilhan Omar after she branded Israel’s retaliation against Hamas’ a ‘war crime’

A New York congressman railed against Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar after the Minnesota Democrat asserted that Israel should not fight back against Hamas and called its military efforts a ‘war crime’.

On Monday, Omar said she opposed an Israeli military response and said that ‘peace and justice will not come from the barrel of a gun.’

Rep. Mike Lawler, a republican representing New York’s 17th congressional district, wrote on X: ‘Israel was just brutally attacked by terrorists, funded by Iran, and you (Omar) want to cut off funding and military aid and equipment.

Caroline Ellison, Adviser to Sam Bankman-Fried, Says He ‘Directed’ Her to Commit Crimes

First they were colleagues on a trading floor in New York. Then they were friends running a start-up together in Hong Kong. Eventually they became partners in a turbulent office romance chronicled in tabloid headlines around the world.

On Tuesday, in a packed Manhattan courtroom, the relationship between Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison took another turn. The two faced each other for the first time since the cryptocurrency trading companies they built together, FTX and Alameda Research, collapsed in November.

Ms. Ellison, 28, took the stand on the fifth day of Mr. Bankman-Fried’s trial on conspiracy and fraud charges stemming from FTX’s implosion. She began by taking more than 10 seconds to identify Mr. Bankman-Fried when a prosecutor asked her to point him out.

Bitterness and fury at the kibbutz where babies had their throats cut

At Kfar Aza, a kibbutz a mile from Gaza City, babies’ bodies are among the dozens being pulled from the devastation left by Hamas

All day, military chaplains and search teams tenderly wrapped tiny bodies, carrying them to waiting stretchers that bore them away from the nightmare of Kfar Aza.

The horrors that Israelis endured at the hands of Hamas in this kibbutz, a mile from the suburbs of Gaza City, defy belief. As they surged through Israeli defences, the Palestinian militants attacked Kfar Aza from four directions, starting with the “youngster’s quarter” on the western side, closest to Gaza.

The civilized world finally sees Hamas for the murder cult that it is

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.” On Saturday, Hamas proved it has no interest in a peaceful tomorrow when its terrorists slaughtered 900 Israelis and injured thousands more in an unprovoked and horrific rampage, supposedly in the name of “liberation.” Hamas killed entire families. Slit people’s throats. Raped, butchered, and paraded young women’s bodies in the public square. And around the globe, its supporters and apologists cheered, including, sickeningly, some here in Canada.

It’s near vomit inducing to hear politicians and media types voicing shock that Canada harbours Hamas supporters and the like that hate Jews and Israel.

After all the only people who make such claims are Islamophobes!

Canadian Councillor’s Denial of Residential School Mass Graves Sparks Outrage

In a move that has stirred controversy and sparked outrage, a councillor from Murray Harbour, P.E.I., has refused to resign over a inflammatory sign displayed on his property. The sign denies the existence of mass graves at former residential school sites, a claim that has been vehemently disputed and condemned by Indigenous leaders and politicians.

The councillor’s defiant stance comes amid growing calls for his resignation. Despite taking down the sign and expressing regret for any hurt caused, he has refused to step down from his position. This has further fueled the controversy and highlighted the ongoing denial of historical and current injustices faced by Indigenous communities.

Why isn’t Antifa condemning the tide of anti-Semitism?

I have a question about the events of the past few days: where is Antifa? Where are those self-styled anti-fascists who love to rage against anything that is even vaguely reminiscent of the 1930s?

Jews in Israel have been rounded up and murdered. Disgusting anti-Semites are on the streets of Sydney screaming, ‘Gas the Jews! Fuck the Jews!’ Mobs in London have taunted Israel, essentially laughing over its dead Jews. Britain’s Jewish schoolkids are taking off their blazers lest anyone recognise them as Jews and attack them. Across Europe security is being beefed up at Jewish establishments — schools, synagogues, museums — out of fear that Hamas-supporting mobs will invade and desecrate them.

Feminist Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Andrea Dworkin – founder, League of Batshit Crazy Feminists

Feminism drives two famous women to the nut-foundry.

The once popular conservative radio host, Michael Savage, coined the phrase, “Liberalism is a mental disorder,” and wrote a 2005 book with that title. In the two decades since, Savage has been proven not only right but prescient. Ironically, the incoherent, illogical, and fanatical ideology that sought to “equilize” the two sexes has proven to be outright sexist itself, multiplying much faster and pervasively among women than the weak men advancing it.

“First We Fight, Then We Investigate”

Hamas terrorists captured in Israel

Israel scrambles to focus on the immediate crisis, but questions about how Hamas pulled off its unprecedented assault won’t wait forever.

Israelis are calling it “our 9/11.”

The parallels are all too chilling, as Americans, especially New Yorkers, know well. But the devastation for Israel is proportionately even higher than it was for Americans. Adjusted for population, 700 murdered Israelis—the current estimate—would be the equivalent of 21,000 dead Americans. And now the Israeli-Hamas conflict risks widening.

Biden’s foreign policy upended by Hamas attack

The scope of Hamas’s attack against Israel was unprecedented and the US response reflects that.

It already supplies its Middle East ally with $3.8bn (£3.1bn) of military aid every year.

And it has always backed Israel’s right to defend itself when conflicts with Hamas erupt, albeit intervening with ceasefire calls after a few days or weeks of Israeli air strikes.

But this Hamas offensive will trigger a wide-ranging Israeli campaign and could lead to an escalation in other parts of the region.

Jihad on Israel: Where Does Turkey Stand?

When, on October 7, the terrorist group Hamas launched a barbaric attack on Israel, killing more than 900 Israeli men, women and children (and wounding thousands more), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, instead of his usual inflammatory anti-Israel rants, uncharacteristically advised restraint to both sides.

The rise of political Islam in Turkey in the past two decades, however, and Erdoğan’s inherent anti-Zionism — he once called Zionism a crime against humanity — have apparently left an indelible mark on the Turkish psyche. In addition to his balanced, ostensibly unbiased, advice for restraint, Erdoğan has also said that a Palestinian state is a requirement that cannot be delayed.

Sam Bankman-Fried blamed ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison for FTX collapse, telling colleagues she is ‘not a natural leader and probably never will be’

The founder of failed crypto exchange FTX blamed his ex-girlfriend when the scale of the company’s $11billion debts became clear.

Court documents showed that Sam Bankman-Fried wrote to his male colleagues that Caroline Ellison ‘is not a natural leader, and probably never will be.’

Bankman-Fried said in the September 2022 document that she made a ‘critical’ error by failing to make a risky investment he suggested to her.
