Dem Dark Money ‘Arabella’ Group Has Funneled $10M To Pro-Hamas Protesters.

Arabella Advisors, a progressive Washington, D.C.-based dark money operation, is using numerous non-profit organizations it controls to funnel left-wing donor cash to groups organizing pro-Hamas protests across America. The firm is at the center of a vast network of dark money groups which has now funneled over $10 million to anti-Israel causes over the past five years.

The funds have moved through Arabella-controlled non-profits like the New Venture Fund, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund, and the North Fund. Some of the groups on the final receiving end have outwardly called for the destruction of the State of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish population living there. Reports suggest some of the Palestinian organizations funded by the same network may even have direct links to terrorist groups like Hamas.

Over $5 million in donations were directed to non-profit associated with hardline anti-Semite Linda Sarsour, who was even made to step down as a leader of the radical ‘Women’s March’ protest in 2019 over her open hostility to Jews and affiliation with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Even the far-left Anti-Defamation League has accused Sarsour of “fomenting” anti-Semitism.

Other groups funded by Arabella’s dark money network include ‘One Arizona’ which funds Arizona Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander for Equity – a group which has called on its supporters to back “Palestine” and fight “Western imperialism”. Several other non-profits receiving funds from Arabella have passed money on to groups like the Palestinian Youth Movement which blames Israel for Hamas’s barbaric October 7th attack killing over 1,400 Israelis and has organized protests against Israel in New York City and Washington, D.C.

France’s Jewish Neighborhoods Have Gone Very Quiet.

Jewish neighborhoods in France, home to the single largest Muslim population in Western Europe, have grown quiet since the Hamas terror raid on Israel on October 7th, with small business owners reporting their trading has been cut in half as Jews minimize their contact with an often hostile outside world.

“People are afraid, in a state of shock, they’ve lost their love for life,” one kosher pizzeria manager told the press. “My business is down 50 percent, there’s no bustle in the street, nobody taking a stroll,” he added.

France has logged over 500 anti-Semitic incidents in the last three weeks – more than in all 2022 – from calls to genocide graffitied on walls up to violent assaults. Synagogues, Jewish community centers, and schools have had armed police and even soldiers posted to them amid a heightened terror threat, adding to a sense of a community under siege.

French Jews are not the only people at risk from Islamists, however, with the general population also being targeted in multiple terrorist attacks over the years, some involving mass casualties. The most recent, which happened following the Hamas attack in Israel, saw a teacher named as Dominique Bernard stabbed to death by a Chechen refugee.

Muslim Voters Threaten To Withhold Votes From Biden For Backing Israel.

Muslim American voters are threatening to sit out the 2024 presidential election unless President Joe Biden pressures Israel to accept a ceasefire with Hamas, the terrorist group that governs the Gaza territory. Prominent Muslim political leaders in key 2024 swing states like Michigan and Pennsylvania have given Biden until 5pm ET today to demand that Israel pull back its forces from Gaza and enter into talks with Hamas.

In a letter, the National Muslim Democratic Council – an organization representing the interests of Muslim voters and political leaders in the Democrat Party – warned that they will “withhold endorsement, support, or votes for any candidate who endorses the Israeli offensive against the Palestinian people.” The letter directly addressed President Biden and his government’s support for Israel after the barbaric October 7th terror attack perpetrated by Hamas, stating:

Your administration’s unconditional support, encompassing funding and armaments, has played a significant role in perpetuating the violence that is causing civilian casualties and has eroded trust in voters who previously put their faith in you.

Over a million Muslim Americans voted in the 2020 presidential election, making up significant portions of the electorate in Michigan and Minnesota – 71 percent of registered Muslim voters cast a ballot in the presidential contest. In a state like Michigan, which was decided by a narrow 2.6 percent margin in 2020, a drop off in support among Muslim voters could be catastrophic for Biden’s re-election campaign. Current polls show the race in Michigan between Biden and former President Donald Trump to be a statistical dead-heat.

On October 7th, the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas launched a horrific surprise attack on neighboring Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,400 Israeli citizens and soldiers. In addition to the Israeli deaths, 31 American citizens were also killed in the attack with others taken hostage and held in Gaza.

German-Israeli Festival-Goer Shani Louk Confirmed Dead After Hamas Attack.

The death of German-Israeli woman Shani Louk has been confirmed by Israel’s foreign ministry following a vicious attack in Gaza by Hamas terrorists. A video revealing her semi-naked body on the back of a truck surrounded by terrorists was widely circulated on social media, leading to the ministry’s recognition. “We are devastated to share that the death of 23-year-old German-Israeli Shani Louk has been confirmed,” Israel’s foreign ministry reported. Louk was reportedly abducted from a music festival near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7 when terrorists stormed the location, leading to the demise of over 260 individuals.

In the brutal Hamas terror attack that specifically targeted the festival among other areas of Israel such as towns and military bases on the same day, the casualty count was over 1,400, with 200 people reported kidnapped. Louk’s identification was made possible by distinct features like dreadlocks and tattoos. In a disturbing video, the young woman was shown stripped down to her underwear as Hamas gunmen grimly paraded her around.

Ricarda Louk, the mother of the victim, originally had hope that her daughter was still alive, despite a severe head injury, as reportedly cited by Palestinian sources. However, she later confirmed her daughter’s demise.

“Unfortunately we received news yesterday that my daughter is no longer alive,” she told German broadcaster RTL/ntv.

Confirmation from the Israel Defense Forces suggests the number of those kidnapped in the October 7 attacks stands at 239, excluding four hostages who have been released. In retaliation to the attacks, Israel has initiated an extensive airstrike operation in Gaza, claimed to have caused over 8,000 casualties.

Germany Defense Minister Says Military Must Become Ready for War In Europe.

German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius has warned of the looming threat of a violent conflict igniting on the European continent, explaining during a television interview this weekend that a new mentality has to be adopted across society to tackle the increased risks of violent conflict.

“We have to become war-ready.”

— Boris Pistorius, October 2023.

“We have to get used to the idea again that the danger of war in Europe could threaten. And that means: We have to become war-ready,” he Pistorius said, adding that bolstering Germany‘s defense capabilities is the best means of avoiding future escalations.

But what he called decades of rot will be hard to fix in 18 months, the Defense Minister noted, also suggesting Germany’s armed forces will look “completely different” by the end of the decade.

It was discovered earlier this year that the nation’s ammunition stockpiles have dropped below NATO’s required levels.

Germany’s apathy towards military spending was highlighted by former President Donald Trump, who called the country “delinquent” after it failed to adequately contribute to NATO, instead relying predominantly on the United States to guarantee its own defense.

Biden Bombs Iran-Linked Sites in Syria.

Joe Biden has had in Syrian territory controlled by the Russian-backed government of Bashar al-Assad bombed, with the government claiming the strikes are defensive actions against Iran.

“These strikes are a direct response to a series of ongoing attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria that began on October 17th,” a senior defense official told the press.

Two sites are said to have been hit by F-16 warplanes in what the official described as “a self-defense action, because our forces in the Middle East, who are there to support security and stability, are being threatened by Iran, and Iran-backed militias.”

The U.S. government admits it is currently unclear whether any Iranians were even present at the targeted sites, which are associated with local militants, but they insist they are at the very least equipped and funded by Iran.

“Let’s be clear, Iran is responsible,” the official said of recent drone and rocket attacks against U.S. bases in the Middle East following the Hamas terror raid on Israel and the Israeli response, which the White House has supported.

At least 24 U.S. personnel have been injured in these attacks so far.

NeoCon Ron Claimed He Sent Israel Guns & Ammo, In Truth Just ‘Smoothed Paperwork’.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s claim that he assisted third party groups and individuals deliver weapons, drones, and body armor to Israel is false according to the Miami-based Israeli consul general, Maor Elbaz-Starinsky. The aid was supposedly sent to the Jewish state to assist in the ongoing conflict with the terrorist group Hamas, which controls the neighboring Gaza territory. The governor’s office claimed they were acting upon a request made by Elbaz-Starinsky, who has denied such requests, stating: “We were never in communication on any shipments of arms or ammunition. The only thing that I have dealt with sending is medical supplies.”

The Israeli consul general is now saying that the Florida Governor was only asked to help ‘smooth paperwork’ involving a prearranged delivery of rifle parts requested by the Israeli government: “I am not aware and would find it very, very bizarre to think that somebody is procuring weapons and sending it to Israel.” Elbaz-Starinsky added, “This is not how we work. And certainly not privately funded.” This runs counter to claims by the DeSantis presidential campaign stating they “…sent cargo planes with drones, weapons, ammo, body armor, and helmets to Israel.”

The export of weapons or technology from the United States to foreign nations is tightly monitored and regulated by the federal government, specifically the Department of Commerce. In addition – depending upon sanctions status and other considerations – the Department of State, the Department of the Treasury, and the President’s National Security Council may also have some degree of regulatory jurisdiction.

It remains unclear if DeSantis’s has cleared the alleged weapons transfers with any federal agencies – if the weapons are even real at all. During the White House press briefing John Kirby, spokesman for the National Security Council was asked about the situation.

“It is not illegal for the governor of a state to offer a measure of foreign assistance to another country,” Kirby said. “There are laws and regulations which govern how the export process is handled and that’s all done through Commerce. I couldn’t speak with authority today about whether the governor has checked all those boxes or not.”

DeSantis is currently battling former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley for a distant 2nd place in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, tussling for neoconservative, pro-Israel donors.

Biden Govt Sending 900 Troops Back to Middle East.

The U.S. Defense Department plans to deploy two Iron Dome air defense batteries to Israel, along with additional missile interceptors, according to chief Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder. This follows President Biden’s recent emergency spending request of $4 billion to Congress for procurement of Iron Dome Defense System capabilities and David’s Sling short-range ballistic missile defense. The president’s request includes an additional $1.2 billion for research, development, test, and evaluation work on Iron Beam, a proposed laser upgrade to Iron Dome.

Ryder also revealed that the Pentagon has mobilized 900 personnel for deployment related to a Middle East mission. They will be assigned to Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Air Defense systems, though they will not be dispatched to Israel. The aim is to fortify regional deterrence efforts and bolster U.S. force protection capabilities.

The spokesman cited a series of attacks by Iran-backed groups on U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq and Syria between Oct. 17-26. These attacks, undertaking a mix of rockets and drones, resulted in minor injuries to 21 U.S. personnel, some of whom were diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries. All have since returned to duty. Ryder reinforced the right to self-defense but declined to reveal any potential U.S. response to the attacks. “We would do so at a time and place of our choosing,” he said.

WATCH: Rashida Tlaib Has Meltdown, Screams ‘I Don’t Want to Be Here Anymore’ After Being Asked to Denounce Hamas.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) appeared to have a meltdown and shouted at her staff after being confronted outside her Congressional office regarding her continued support for the terrorist group Hamas. The Islamic terrorist group perpetrated a surprise barbaric attack that killed more than 1,400 Israeli civilians and soldiers on October 7th.

The Michigan Democrat was approached by Ben Bergquam of Real America’s Voice and asked if she would denounce Hamas and its terrorist actions. Appearing frustrated, Tlaib responded “I can’t talk right now” as she looked at her phone and fumbled with the door to her office. At one point, Tlaib shot back at Bergquam, saying, “You’re dehumanizing Palestinians” before entering her Congressional office and shutting the door. Behind the closed door, Tlaib can be heard shouting at her staff and appears to scream “I don’t want to be here anymore.”

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, has introduced a privileged resolution to censure Rashida Tlaib over her support for Hamas as well as antisemitic statements made by the Michigan Democrat. The resolution accuses Tlaib of engaging in “antisemitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations, and leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex.”

Last week, while speaking to pro-Hamas protestors outside the U.S. Capitol building, Tlaib falsely claimed that the Israeli military was responsible for the explosion at a Gaza hospital that resulted in civilian casualties. Meanwhile, additional protestors had stormed into the Cannon House Office Building and occupied the lobby. Several protestors were arrested for assaulting a police officer and for refusing to vacate the federal building after being ordered by U.S. Capitol Police.

Almost 50% of Palestinians Have ‘No Trust’ in Hamas.

Just under half of Palestinians living in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip – 44 percent – admit having “no trust at all” in the Hamas-led government, according to a survey conducted by the Arab Barometer on the eve of Hamas’ violent incursion into Israel.

The second most common response among the 790 respondents in the West Bank and 399 in Gaza at 23 percent was “not a lot of trust” in Hamas, recognized internationally as a “terrorist organization.” Fewer than one in three – 29 percent – maintain “a great deal of trust” or “quite a lot of trust” in their government.

Only 27 percent of those surveyed said their favored political party was Hamas. Exactly one-third of under 30s supported Hamas, compared to just 23 percent of those older than 30. More people admitted to supporting Fatah than Hamas.

The survey also learned that Palestinians have a strong desire for political change. Only a combined 26 percent of Palestinians believe the government is responsive to the needs of the people, with three percent answering “very responsive” and 23 percent “largely responsive.” The majority of Palestinians said “nothing is effective” when trying to voice their concerns.

Almost half of Palestinians – 48 percent – support democracy and affirmed that “democracy is always preferable to any other kind of government.” A mere 26 percent believe non-democratic governments are preferable.

Notably, almost three-quarters of those surveyed – 73 percent – favor a “peaceful settlement” to the Israeli-Hamas conflict, with only 20 percent of Palestinians supporting the destruction of Israel by military means.
