Biden Rafah Haifa

WATCH: Biden Says He Warned Israel Not to ‘Move on Haifa’ – An Israeli City Over a Hundred Miles from Gaza.

Joe Biden made a significant error while discussing Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, claiming he warned the Israeli government against attacking Haifa. Haifa is an Israeli port city far to the north of Gaza, while the last remaining Hamas stronghold is the city of Rafah.

“I’ve been meeting with them, number one,” Biden told an interviewer who has asked him about his plans to win over voters sympathetic to the Palestinians, who are increasingly discontented with his foreign policy.

“Number two, I made it clear that we have to vastly increase the amount of food, water, healthcare going into Gaza, and I made it clear to Israelis — don’t move on Haifa,” Biden continued. “It’s just not, I mean, anyway…” he trailed off.

Rafah, rather than Haifa, has become Israel’s main strategic target. Hamas is believed to have concentrated the bulk of its surviving forces in the city, along with its remaining Israeli hostages. It also hosts around a million Palestinians displaced by the war, and the White House does not want Israel to mount a major offensive against it, fearing there will be significant civilian loss of life.

Biden has made a major error when discussing geography before. Addressing the Hur Report on his mishandling of classified documents, which described him as having a failing memory, he insisted he has no such issues, before describing General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the President of Egypt, as “the President of Mexico.”

Biden has also made repeated false claims about about traveled 17,000 miles around the world with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, despite even friendly outlets like CNN repeatedly debunking the story as a lie.

Mike Johnson Foreign Aid Packages

Here’s What YOU Can Do About Speaker Johnson’s Betrayal of America.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson is preparing to drop a massive foreign aid package, comprised mostly of money for Ukraine, that ignores the wishes of GOP voters and delivers a giant win to Joe Biden.

The details: The House Appropriations Committee released a memo yesterday unveiling three bills that Johnson will package into a single rule totaling $95 billion.

  • Ukraine gets $60.84 billion in taxpayer dollars to replenish weapons & services and fund U.S. military operations in the region.
  • Israel gets $26.38 billion to replenish the Iron Dome missile defense system and other defensive and offensive weapons.
  • Indo-Pacific gets $8.12 billion to build up our defensive and offensive capabilities in the region to counter China. This includes $2 billion for Taiwan.

Joe Biden immediately endorsed this plan.

The backstab: When Johnson became Speaker, he supported the position, widely held by Republican voters, that Congress should not allocate a single dollar for a foreign country until Joe Biden agreed to secure the border.

  • In January, Johnson said: “Before we even talk about Ukraine… We have to take care of our own house. We have to secure our own border before we talk about doing anything else.”

The pattern: Unfortunately, this foreign aid vote is not the first time Johnson has ignored the will of Republican voters.

  • He pushed FISA re-authorization, which allows the Biden Department of Justice to spy on American citizens without a warrant.
  • He allowed Congress to pass the Democrats’ spending bill.
  • He let Democrats raise the debt ceiling, digging us deeper into national debt.

What do Americans think? A new poll found that just 11 percent of Americans say Ukraine funding is more important than securing the border, while 50 percent put the border first.

Big picture: Senator Rand Paul sums up the situation best: “As I see it now, I’m not so sure there’s a difference between Mike Johnson being in charge and the Democrats being in charge.”

The House will vote on the foreign aid bill on Saturday. Readers are encouraged to call Speaker Johnson and politely let him know how they feel.

‘Death to America’ Chants in Chicago As Local Muslims, Leftists Laud Iran’s ‘Resistance.’

Hundreds of Islamists and far-left activists converged on the Teamsters Union headquarters in Chicago to learn anti-America and anti-Israel chants on Saturday. News of Iran’s mass drone and missile attack on Israel broke during the meeting, prompting cheers of support, followed by demands Israel and the U.S. refrain from retaliating.

News of the attack earned applause from the crowd of around 300 Islamists and leftist ideologues, most of whom sported N95 masks. “Iran is part of the arc of resistance because the enemies are Israel and the USA,” declared one attendee. She listed Hezbollah, Yemen, and the Syrian government as allies in that resistance, according to reporting by The Free Press.

Despite cheering the Iranian strikes, the meeting switched back to anti-war mode when Palestinian Community Network leader Hatem Abudayyeh warned they would “have to assume that the United States is going to try to retaliate against Iran,” prompting cries of “shame!”

Abudayyeh, whose house was raided by the FBI in 2010 amid an investigation into “material support of terrorism,” told the crowd it was “incumbent” on Americans to “stop the United States from expanding this war and hitting Iran.”

“We’ve got to be the strong, powerful anti-war movement that we are,” Abudayyeh said, prompting chants of “Hands off Iran!”

‘DEATH TO AMERICA!’ 

The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, represented at the meeting by an activist who called the October 7 attack on Israel a “good turn of events,” subsequently put out a statement headlined with the “Hands off Iran!” slogan, saying the U.S. and Israel “bear the entire responsibility for what is happening.”

Before the Iranian attack, Anti-War Committee Chicago organizer Shabbir Rizvi had taught around 80 enthusiastic attendees how to chant “Marg bar Israel” and “Marg bar America,” Persian for “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.”

His audience included at least one man wearing a Soviet flag.

President Donald J. Trump is addressing a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday evening, with the speech due to begin just shortly after an Iranian drone attack on the state of Israel began.

The 45th President is almost certain to address the matter, as well as his New York “hush money” trial which begins this week.

Iranian Drone Attack Against Israel Underway.

Iran has reportedly launched multiple drone attacks against Israel, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari has outlined certain restrictions aiming to protect Israeli civilians throughout the region, including the pausing of a number of educational events, and the closure of Ben Gurion airport.

More wars and deaths have occurred under three years of a Biden presidency than in the first Trump term, despite the oft-repeated claim that the “adults” are back in charge of global foreign policy.

The drones are believed to be aimed at overwhelming Israel’s air defenses for further attacks later in the night, though U.S., UK, Saudi, and Jordanian air defenses are already bringing many down.

Muslim Migrant Murdered 70-Year-Old in the Name of Gaza.

Ahmed Alid, a 45-year-old asylum seeker living in taxpayer-funded accommodation in Britain, stabbed another asylum seeker who was converting to Christianity in the chest, then stabbed a random 70-year-old man to death in the street, in a show of support for Gaza following the Hamas terror raid on Israel on October 7.

Javed Nouri, the asylum seeker Alid stabbed at their shared accommodation in Hartlepool, England, survived the attack. He reported Alid shouted “Allahu Akbar!” as he struck, and that he had previously reported the extremist to housing managers and police, to no avail.

“Mr Nouri was a Muslim who had converted to Christianity, and the defendant would therefore have regarded him as an apostate or ‘murtad,’” prosecutors told Teesside Crown Court.

“[W]hen the defendant was interviewed by the police, he initially thought that he had killed both Mr Nouri and Mr Carney,” they continued, referring to the murdered senior citizen, Terence Carney.

“He said he had wanted to kill them because of the conflict in Gaza and to further his desire that Palestine would be free from the Zionists, by which he meant Israel.

“The defendant said he would have killed more people if he had been able to do so.”

Alid is also accused of assaulting two policewomen who interviewed him following his arrest for the stabbings.

50 Pro-Hamas Protesters Arrested for Occupying U.S. Senate Cafeteria.

A group of pro-Hams protesters staged a demonstration inside a U.S. Senate cafeteria on Tuesday, demanding the American government back a ceasefire in Gaza. The protestors, comprised at least in part by members of Christians for a Free Palestine, chanted: “Congress and their staff will not eat until Gaza eats.” Demonstrators also displayed banners reading “Send food, not bombs” and “Break bread, not bodies.”

More than 50 of the protestors were detained and arrested by the U.S. Capitol Police after they stormed through a Senate office building and occupied the cafeteria. The demonstration briefly caused the dining hall frequented by lawmakers and their staff – as well as guests and tourists — to be shut down.

The calls among Democrat and progressive activists for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas have hit new highs following an accidental Israeli military strike that resulted in the deaths of several humanitarian aid workers. President Joe Biden has faced internal backlash within his party over appearing overly supportive of Israel and its military operation aimed at eliminating the Hamas terrorist group following their barbaric October 7, 2023 attack on the Jewish state.

Late last year, pro-Hamas demonstrators stormed the Cannon House Office Building in a moment reminiscent of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Several protestors were arrested for assaulting officers after clashing with U.S. Capitol Police. Meanwhile, outside the Capitol building, Rep. Rashida Tlaib urged on the demonstrators while attacking President Biden’s pro-Israel stance — claiming that Arab-American and Muslim voters would not forget his betrayal.

During the 2024 Democrat presidential primary, Biden faced several significant protest votes from the Muslim community and progressive activists in states like Michigan and Washington. Additionally, Arab-American and Muslim leaders in the U.S. have balked at efforts by the President’s re-election campaign to try and mend bridges.

Near 50% of UK Muslims Declare Sympathy With Hamas.

Research by the Henry Jackson Society has revealed only one in four British Muslims believe it is definitively true that Hamas perpetrated acts of murder and rape during their attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. British Muslims seem to be more sympathetic to Hamas the younger and better educated they are, with 40 percent of the university-educated and 47 percent of 18-24-year-olds dismissing the notion Hamas committed atrocities.

Forty-six percent of British Muslims declared outright sympathy with Hamas — with the same proportion saying Jews have too much power over government policy.

The survey also found that an alarming proportion of British Muslims hold Islamist views generally. Fifty-two percent believe displaying images of Mohammed, the Islamic prophet, should be criminalized, while 32 percent wish to see Sharia law implemented in the United Kingdom.

With the Muslim population of Britain officially numbering four million — greater than the total populations of Wales or Northern Ireland — the findings suggest the country has failed to integrate many hundreds of thousands of Muslims.

“What is probably going wrong is an unwillingness to tackle this kind of extremism for fear of being labeled Islamophobic or racist,” suggested Henry Jackson Society executive director Alan Mendoza.

Prevent, the official British counter-terrorism program has become increasingly obsessed with the “far right,” dealing with significantly more referrals for the “Extreme Right Wing” than for Islamism despite the vast majority of terror plots detected by the authorities being Islamist.

REVEALED: WaPo Journo Who Celebrates Hamas Lives as Asylum Seeker in London.

Hajar Harb, a Palestinian journalist and Washington Post contributor who appeared to post messages celebrating the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel and mocking their victims, lives in London, England, as an asylum seeker. Harb was outed by the Campaign for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) for the posts, which have now been deleted.

The images include a picture of Hamas jihadists bursting into an Israeli building captioned, “Now we can truly say good morning,” another picture of jihadists infiltrating an Israeli city titled, “Enjoy your view,” and photos of an elderly Israeli woman and an Israeli woman with her young children, with captions appearing to mock them.

Harb also posted the number ‘600’ picked out in flowers when that appeared to be the Israeli death toll — it later rose to around 1,200 — with Arabic captions said to suggest she found the number “beautiful” or “sweet.”

It now emerges Harb herself fled from Hamas to the UK in 2019 after reporting that its health ministry in Gaza — responsible for the casualty counts emerging from the territory — was falsifying medical reports in exchange for cash. She was later given leave to remain.

London has become a haven for many Hamas sympathizers and even members, including Muhammad Qassem Sawalha — who is wanted by the Israeli government for helping command the terror organization in the West Bank.

Swalha lives in a substantial two-story property with its own garden and garage, originally provided by the state and eventually purchased by him with a £112,000 ($141,300) government discount.

The Washington Post says it is investigating Harb’s posts.

WATCH: Muslims Chant ‘Death to America!’ at Michigan Rally as Feds Continue Crackdown on ‘MAGA Extremism.’

Demonstrators in the Muslim stronghold of Dearborn, Michigan, chanted anti-America and anti-Israel slogans during a speech by Islamist activist Tarek Bazzi at a Quds Day rally. Quds Day, which takes its name from the Arabic name for Jerusalem, was instituted by Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran in 1979 and is held on the last day of Ramadan each year.

Tensions were high during the Quds Day rally in Dearborn, with Bazzi, tied to the Hadi Institute, declaring it is “not just Genocide Joe that has to go” — a reference to Joe Biden, accused of facilitating Israel’s war in Gaza — but “the entire system.”

“Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it, such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth,” he added.

At another point in his speech, he said, “Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America.”

“Death to America!” the crowd chanted.

Bazzi was still more explicit in his attacks, saying: “[W]hen these fools ask us if Israel has the right to exist, the chant ‘Death to Israel!’ has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today!”

This also prompted chants of “Death to Israel!”

Bazzi also had a small child take to the microphone to shout “Free, Free Palestine” and “From the River to the Sea,” widely recognized as a call for the destruction of Israel across its entire geographical extent, from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has doubled down on its persecution of MAGA-supporting Americans, recently prosecuting 71-year-old great-grandmother Rebecca Lavrenz for praying inside the U.S. Capitol. The Biden White House continues its outreach to Arab and Muslim Americans such as those depicted in the video below, many of whom have received direct outreach from the White House.
