Middle East Arabs know Hamas is wrong and Israel is right, even if America’s stupid college students don’t
Even the Arabs recognize these facts.

The past week has been very revealing, as hundreds, even thousands of pro-Hamas demonstrators have swarmed the streets of New York, Washington, London, with some protesters in Washington actually attempting to break into the White House while others vandalized statues and monuments.
These new-Nazis demanded Israel stop fighting Hamas and let it get away with its savage slaying of more than 1,400 citizens, including the torture and rape of women and children. To these fools, Hamas is heroic for killing Jews, and must be allowed free rein to kill them all so that Hamas can rule Israel “from the river to the sea.”
The great irony here is that while these protesters see nothing wrong with mass murder by Hamas, the leaders of other Arab countries have a decidedly different opinion. On October 31, 2023, only days after Israel’s ground attack began, a major official in the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) made it clear that not only does that country support the Abraham Accords, its peace treaty with Israel, he also unequivocally condemned Hamas’ brutality.
“The Accords are our future. It is not an agreement between two governments, but a platform that we believe should transform the region where everyone will enjoy security, stability and prosperity. This is a people-to-people engagement. This is what we need,” Nuaimi said. “We want everyone to acknowledge and accept that Israel is there to exist and that the roots of Jews and Christian are not in New York or Paris but here in our region. They are part of our history and they should be part of our future.”
…The Emirati official explained that the UAE wants to change the educational system and religious narrative. “It is very important to understand that there are enemies for what we are doing,” he said. “Those terrorist organizations don’t respect human life. Don’t let them achieve their goals. No person with a human feeling and common sense will agree with the barbarian terrorist attack that Hamas committed on October 7: No one.”
The UAE is not alone in this conclusion. Neither Morocco nor Bahrain, the other signatories, have taken any action to cancel the agreement, despite some protests in their countries. Nor has Egypt shown any interest in canceling its own peace treaty with Israel. Egypt and Jordan meanwhile have said they will not accept any Gazan refugees, for many reasons, with security high on the list. History has shown that the strong presence of Palestinian refugees leads to political instability and violence, both within the country and with Israel, and neither Egypt nor Jordan want this.
All these countries recognize the corruption engendered by Hamas in Gaza, and do not want it to spread to them.
Even in Saudi Arabia there is no strong action to support Hamas. Saudi officials have tried to take a middle road, condemning both sides in the war for the death of civilians. In the past any Saudi statement would have wholly supported the Arab side, and given no quarter to Israel. This even-handedness suggests the Saudis really want no part of Hamas, and illustrates the growing disenchantment with the entire Palestinian cause in the Middle East. It has gained the Arabs nothing but war, violence, and economic stagnation.
In fact, during the last year of the Trump administration there were strong signs that Saudi Arabia was also going to sign the Abraham Accords, even as it became clear that it and other Arab countries had strengthened their covert military ties with Israel for mutual defense. With Joe Biden taking over as president the Saudis pulled back from the accords, and have done nothing for and against them since. At the same time those covert ties have apparently remained in force in some manner.
A symbolic representation of the babies Hamas
has kidnapped and is likely to murder
Meanwhile, in Skokie our new Nazis continue to illustrate how much they support genocide and murder. Local Jewish community members there had organized in a parking lot an exhibit of thirty strollers — as shown on the left, each with leaflet showing a baby or child presently held hostage by Hamas. As part of the presentation about 150 people sang “psalms along with the Israeli national anthem.”
The response from some Hamas supporters driving by in cars:
Several people driving by shout obscenities at the Jewish participants, including, “kill the babies!”
With that attitude, it is not surprising that even Muslims in the Middle East have shown horror at Hamas’s actions.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

I’m in discussions with someone who hopes to set up a pro-Israel demonstration, and wants to have cameras set up to get images of all the cars coming and going to get license plates and identify the inevitable pro-Hamas genocidal pushback for public doxxing. They are currently consulting with their lawyers to make sure they do it without getting in legal trouble. We’re hopeful that not only will we shame, and perhaps get fired, some of the lunatics, but that in the Portland area, there are some companies that will refuse to suspend or otherwise speak out against any of their employees, and we can drag those companies down as well.
David Eastman: Go for it!
HA!!! Stupid college student. That’s the definition of redundant.
I hate Illinois new-Nazis

When the dust clears the only place Hamas will exist is in America.

What was it that obama said(?) that one time…. something like’ “We are the people we were waiting for….,” some sort on non-sequitur like that.
Confession by projection….
“Ultimately, this zombie narrative [about Israel and Palestine] is a moral and political cul-de-sac that leads to
slaughter and stalemate. That is no surprise, because it is based on sham history: ‘An invented past can never
be used,’ wrote James Baldwin. ‘It cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay.’”
Simon Sebag Montefiore
Despite the pro-Hamas demonstrators on our college campuses, a few left oriented American observers are beginning to get it:
https://www.rsn.org/001/the-decolonization-narrative-is-dangerous-and-false.html
In reading this, I kept thinking that, no, no, the author cannot be promoting such heresies in a left-leaning publication like the Atlantic, but here it is. And, even more astonishing, he has the audacity to suggest that higher education and the presstitute media in America are fundamentally broken and ought not to be supported:
“Parents and students can move to universities that are not led by equivocators and patrolled by deniers and
ghouls; donors can withdraw their generosity en masse, and that is starting in the United States. Philanthro-
pists can pull the funding of humanitarian foundations led by people who support war crimes against hu-
manity (against victims selected by race). Audiences can easily decide not to watch films starring actors who
ignore the killing of children; studios do not have to hire them. And in our academies, this poisonous ideology,
followed by the malignant and foolish but also by the fashionable and well intentioned, has become a default
position. It must forfeit its respectability, its lack of authenticity as history. Its moral nullity has been exposed
for all to see.
Again, scholars, teachers, and our civil society, and the institutions that fund and regulate universities and char-
ities, need to challenge a toxic, inhumane ideology that has no basis in the real history or present of the Holy
Land, and that justifies otherwise rational people to excuse the dismemberment of babies.”
And, for good measure, here is a commentary from the LA Times that dares to question the legitimacy and popular support of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority:

As Mad Celt suggests, when the dust clears, the only place the Hamas may still exist will be in America.
Mad Celt – you’re probably right since they already have a CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS!!
Your ‘Moral Equivalency’ chart is utter balderdash, totally false. I just watched a video where three political opponents of Israel were shot in their little white car by Israeli soldiers. Israel makes a routine practice of bombing hospitals. Israel uses white phosphorus munitions. ISRAELI JEWS MAKE A HABIT OF SPITTING ON CHRISTIANS. Now go soak your lying head in the toilet for about ten years.
