This is Aliza Shagrir. Forty-four years ago, she was murdered in a terror attack in Paris. The man convicted of planning the attack that killed Aliza and three others, Hassan Diab, escaped to Canada. He was just appointed as a professor at .@Carleton_U.

Tonight’s grim news is a master class on the catastrophic failure of the Obama/Biden signature foreign policy of cozying up to Iran. An Iranian proxy terror group had a high profile American hostage and yet they executed him because they know there will be no repercussions.

Daniel Penny did what every man should do: He stood up to protect women and children from a menacing person who threatened violence. That he's on trial to begin with is a farce. That the jury is deadlocked is an insult. He deserves nothing but our gratitude.

In light of Sinwar having fake ID identifying him as an UNRWA teacher, and in light of Merrick Garland's insistence that UNRWA continues to enjoy absolute immunity from prosecution, it's time for a strong conservative president to end this farce, withdraw from the UN, and kick.

the strategic genius who warned Israel not to go into Rafah sits down with America's greatest living pogromist, Al Sharpton, to share deep thoughts about what the Jews must and mustn't do.
Harris tells Sharpton the number of Palestinian casualties in Gaza is “unconscionable.”. “We have got to get this war over with. We got to get the hostages out. We need the war to end. “And the death of Sinwar I believe has removed an obstacle to that end.”

The Irish president looks like he's about to leave the Shire, go on an unexpected journey, find a very powerful ring, and then blame it all on the Jews.
Write a shameful secret letter sucking up to a terrorist supporting regime dedicated to wiping out Jews. Letter proudly publicly posted by said regime. Instead blames ‘the leak’ on Jews. The President represents the Irish state. Seems about right.

You can’t protest peacefully. You can’t boycott. You can’t hunger strike. You can’t hijack planes. You can’t block traffic. You can’t throw Molotovs. You can’t self-immolate. You can’t heckle politicians. You can’t march. You can’t riot. You can’t dissent. You just can’t be.
