The Morning Rant: The Pro-Terror Biden Junta Does It Again!

The United States government is currently pushing a deeply dishonest narrative, backed up by obscenely twisted and sometimes blatantly false data, that Israelis are rampaging through Arab areas of the West Bank and attacking innocents. The Biden junta has gone so far as to sanction Israelis they accuse of this behavior.

The Fraudulent Case Against 'Violent Settlers'

The problem is that it is a blatantly political effort to cast Israel in an unflattering light and ultimately return to the disgusting paradigm that there is violence on both sides, therefore Israel does not have any moral authority to act against the Arabs who perpetrated the worst pogrom since World War II. This is the virulent Jew-hating Obama contingent in the Biden administration trying to regain the initiative in the Middle East and return to their grand plan of an ascendant Iran and a weakened Israel.

Much of the information that these lawmakers were citing came from a single, ostensibly impartial source whose words carry weight in Washington in part because of his rank: Lieutenant General Michael R. Fenzel, a three-star general who currently serves as the U.S. Security Coordinator to Israel and the Palestinian Authority[...]

According to sources in and out of the U.S. government familiar with Fenzel's reports and advocacy, nearly every claim presented by the USSC as fact seems to have been lifted directly, sometimes verbatim, from the websites of highly partisan pro-Palestinian organizations, including the United Nations' Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OCHA) and the far-left Israeli NGO B'Tselem, which accuses Israel of apartheid and receives vast support from European governments and from George Soros' Open Society Foundations.

Say it ain't so! George Soros...Jew-hater and Nazi collaborator is involved?

The reality on the ground is far different than what the hard-left NGOs and the Iranophiles in our government want us to believe.

In the past 12 months, 13 Israelis were murdered by Palestinians in Jerusalem and 17 in the West Bank—not counting those slaughtered on October 7, 2023—while doing nothing more provocative than driving home or stopping for gas. The number of Palestinian civilians who have been killed by Israelis under such conditions over the same time period is zero.
But the story the administration has been telling anyone who will listen is very different. By scrubbing any mention of the daily violence directed by Palestinian terror operatives against Jewish civilians living in the West Bank from his reports, Fenzel has eliminated the clear retaliatory motive for the vast majority of attacks by Israelis against West Bank Palestinians. Thinly laundered reports from expressly anti-Israel organizations, designed to support an illusion of innocent Palestinians being violently attacked by bloodthirsty Israelis, paint a picture of an Israeli equivalent to the Palestinian atrocities of Oct. 7, lending itself an easy “both-sides” posture meant to ease the way to creating a new Palestinian state in both the West Bank and Gaza. With an executive order now in place, the Biden administration has all the tools it needs to crack down on any form of Jewish life in Judea and Samaria, and on anyone, in Israel or stateside, who supports it.

1,200 Israelis were brutally murdered in ways that are redolent of the worst excesses of the Einsatzgruppen in Eastern Europe and Russia in 1943. That there aren't wholesale massacres of Arabs in the West Bank and calls for ejection of the entire population is a testament to the grounding of the people of Israel in a firm and just morality.

For the Biden junta -- led by a drooling, pedophilic imbecile -- to single out Israelis while conspicuously ignoring the vast majority of the violence is indicative of a deeply disturbed view of the issues, and a clear indicator of where their allegiances lay. Just the existence of a United States Army general who has official contact with the Palestinian Authority, which is the political arm of a terrorist group directly linked to the murder of thousands, including American citizens, is a clear signal that our current government is ambivalent about the use of terror to achieve political goals.

They support the marginalization of Israel, the strengthening of Iran, the creation of a "Palestinian" state in the midst of Israel, all for their ultimate goal which is nothing other than the ultimate destruction of the Jewish state.

Never mind that Israel is a lone outpost of democracy, pluralism, Western culture, Western morality and political philosophy. Never mind that Israel has been the tip of the spear of the West against the encroachment of militant Islam and its inexorable march toward a worldwide caliphate and the subjugation or murder of all non-Muslims.

Even if this were true, I fail to see the problem. There are no "innocent" Palestinians. They are all terrorists, terror supporters, terror sympathizers, rapists, or goat-fucking perverts.

Even if there were some "innocents" getting rampaged, then so what? Fuck 'em. It's about time these parasitic vermin feel some of the pain they inflict on Israelis. Until we see young Pali girls kidnapped from raves and raped and murdered in the back of filthy old pickups, then they have not felt enough pain.

I don't give a rat's ass about the life or well-being of any of these worthless savages. Fuck 'em all.

41 I watched as much of the Dave Smith v. RFK Jr. "debate" as I could take.

Smith is fixed in his belief that Israel is nearly always wrong, and has all the data points from that side to back him up. Apparently the internet believes he "destroyed" RFK on this issue.

I'm not enough of a student of this history to say who is right or wrong, factually. It's obviously a very emotional issue for may.

My position? U.S. of A. should withdraw from all discussion of the "Palestinian issue," and leave it to the people in the region to sort it out themselves. Which seems to not be a very poopular position to take, everyone wants to get in on the act.

Not me. And I wish, not my country.

Kings favorite wife turns out to be Jewish, she's like hey how about don't kill me and my people? King can't just undo his order (because reasons) so she gets him to order the Jews to defend themselves. Persians come at the Jews anyway, and Jews slaughter a whole mess of Persians.

83 @60 there were two different fights in Warsaw. The first was the Jews rising up in the ghetto and after a month most were dead. The second one was the Polish home army rising up against the Nazis, with Churchill and FDR trying to help Stalin saying f.u., and letting the Poles be slaughtered.

Not really. Lawyer has to put out ALL the defenses. First, President not covered by 14th - doesn't matter whether it was insurrection or not. Next, it's not an insurrection/

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

That was not the argument. The argument was it's not an insurrection ... its a riot (as reported in these comments - so it must be true). The latter part seems unnecessary, untrue, and is a bit too hair splitting to be helpful.

But Blinken was on the "defend Israel" side, and he doesn't appear to be on that side anymore. Whoever it is... and I have a guess, who really runs things there, decided it was time to give them the business.

Didn't all the so-called Hamas evil doings sound a bit too unreal? Well, it was according to a journalist who looked closely at the many deaths of individual Israelis. I am NOT defending Hamas, but the truth requires exposure and WILL come out.

When you bulldoze Palestinian cemeteries, you aren't really interested in a 2 state solution. Exactly how many Palestinian children and women terrorists did the IDF murder? Fifteen, twenty thousand? More? Bibi should check his mail for a letter from Jack Smith and the ICJ in about eight months, maybe sooner.

Democracy Now! Pushed Jill Steins lies that Hillary & Trump were the same in the 2016 GE. They Pushed Tara Ried's Lies in 2020. Now they're all over Cornel west for potus and MORE 3rd party Shite. You can't trust their reporting.

“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.” ― Golda Meir, A Land of Our Own: An Oral Autobiography

The Jerusalem Post, today, in part: Israel will allow the exile of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar from the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of all remaining 136 hostages, NBC reported on Thursday, citing six Israeli officials and senior advisers.

The Government has interchangeably referred to Jan 6th as an Insurrection AND a Riot in filings and procedure.

It's either, when it is convenient for their position.

She is using precedent of US Term Limits v. Thornton which also relied on the earlier Powell v. McCormick.

Basically US Term Limits held is that states cannot use their time, place, manner, powers over federal elections to add qualifications (term limits) to who is on the ballot for federal office. The US Constitution outlines those qualifications in Article I and II and states lack the constitutional power to change that. Congress also has the final word on laws pertaining to federal elections, not states.

She is using precedent of US Term Limits v. Thornton which also relied on the earlier Powell v. McCormick.

Basically US Term Limits held is that states cannot use their time, place, manner, powers over federal elections to add qualifications (term limits) to who is on the ballot for federal office. The US Constitution outlines those qualifications in Article I and II and states lack the constitutional power to change that. Congress also has the final word on laws pertaining to federal elections, not states.

There is a federal statute covering insurrection. Trump has never been charged with it despite having an out of control special prosecutor going after him using any possible thing he can charge him with.

one obvious difference - an Insurrection is always armed, and involves the (at least attempted) application of Military Force. A riot is unruly, but not military.

On the other hand, if a riot IS an insurrection, then every Black Lives Matter protestor is guilty of it, as is ever Democrat politician who supported them.

And that brings up another hugely unconstitutional part of this attempt to declare Trump guilty of Insurrection - that charge is a Crime defined by Federal Statute. To declare anyone guilty of any crime without Due Process of Law (a term of art meaning trial, verdict, etc) is a strict violation of the 14th Amendment.
"No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
And if a State Legislature tries to mandate the same, then it becomes an unconstitutional Bill of Attainder.

AN insurrection would be organized, armed, and with a goal of taking over. Nothing that happened on Jan 6 meets any of those elements. Had the crowd seized control of the capital - what? They wouldn't automatically become the new gov't. Even if Jan 6 was "successful" it wouldn't lead to them taking over the gov't. Occupying a building does not an insurrection make. Where were the armed people, who were the leaders, how were they trying to take control of the gov't? So how can it possibly be an insurrection? We are playing fast and loose with terminology by calling what happened on Jan 6 an "insurrection". It hardly rises to the level of a "riot".

Posted by: Meanwhile . . . . at February 08, 2024 12:04 PM (ky+MF)

Because BLM and Antifa are "oppressed" so the phrase "riots are the voice of the unheard" applies.

(Never mind the fact that the quote is cherry picked because double standards are twice as good.)

309 Well let's look at the historical insurrections, if we're going to drill down on that word. We can talk about how many tanks or horses, how many guns or swords, how many grenades or siege engines the winning side had. And see if that lines up matchy-matchy to Jan 6th.

It's a sleazy thing to do. The 14th does not qualify under Originalist perspective.

They are there to provide some uniformity of law among states. The Articles Confederation did not have a judicial branch and not much of an executive one. Led to big problems.

The problem with our government is that the form of government is no longer compatible with what elites want to do and thus elites are constantly trying to undermine our constitutional government. accordingly.

331 Why were Israelis barred from owning weapons?

Remember that Israel began as a hard-left socialist nation. I suspect that they remain very leftist. (Take a look at their version of a Supreme Court!) Like Trump, they’ve been pretty much pushed hard by everyone around them into becoming conservative. Hopefully, they will continue to learn that the left is not their friend and that leftist policies will destroy them. Quickly enough to survive the inevitable international pogrom.

332 You can examine it from the position of The Framers, but it is not part of the US Constitution as written and argued by The Framers.
Posted by: garrett

It can be a problem because in law, the later amendments have to be reconciled with the original language. Pretty easy dealing with most of the amendments but harder when dealing with ones that affect earlier constitutional provisions.

Unlike other nations, amendments are listed separately instead of xxx ing out the offending original language such as that used in ordinary legislative acts. As far as the 14th, the language becomes what did the Framers 'intend' or 'write as commonly understood text' when they ratified the 14th. Even Scalia, who widely disdained legislative history, viewed constitutional and ratification debates differently as they represent what the language meant in common vernacular at the time.

Non-originalists, like Kagan, etc. still have to use the text as a starting point because otherwise the Constitution itself becomes meaningless and that means judicial decisionmaking is only power expressed by legal opinions.
