Montgomery County, Maryland teacher and union official Angela Wolf / LinkedIn / Montgomery County Education Association ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Maryland teacher is on leave while the school system investigates her for a string of anti-Semitic social media posts that included creating a list of wealthy Jews in her county, claiming they horde wealth while contributing nothing to society, and calling for “class war.” Angela Wolf is head of the English Language Development department, which caters to immigrant children, at Takoma Park Middle School, in the most leftist enclave of liberal Montgomery County. Though she was temporarily removed from school, she remains...

President Biden will skip the United Nations climate summit that kicks off Thursday in Dubai amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, a report said Sunday. Biden, who just weeks ago called climate change “the ultimate threat to humanity,” will not be among the leaders of nearly 200 countries who will attend the two-week event, known as COP28, a White House official told the New York Times. The official who asked to remain anonymous to discuss the president’s plans did not provide a reason for his absence, but senior aides told the publication that Biden has been preoccupied with...

Progressive Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) on Thursday said “pauses” in the fighting between Israel and Hamas are not enough and renewed her call for a ceasefire. Bush was joined by members of About Face, an organization representing veterans who are against war, as well Reps. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) and Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.). Bush has been outspoken about calling for a ceasefire, pointing to the thousands of Palestinians who have been killed due to Israeli airstrikes. The White House said earlier Thursday that Israel agreed to four-hour daily pauses in Gaza to allow civilians to flee areas of fighting, with President...

Gaza resident among the ruins: "All this is because of Hamas's dogs" A woman who was filmed next to the bodies of those killed in the bombings chose to attack the terrorist organization - and was silenced immediately • Surfers on the Arab networks wrote: "This is the opinion of the innocent in Gaza" The war against the terror regime of Hamas results in damage to the Gazans who serve as human shields. Hamas is taking advantage of this through their propaganda emissaries to press for a ceasefire, but one document distributed on the Arab networks created a boomerang effect....

The footage of "Squad" Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York pulling a fire alarm in a House office building was released Thursday after he accepted a plea deal on misdemeanor charges for the incident. Fox News obtained security footage from Sept. 30 showing Bowman attempting to open two doors in the Cannon House Office Building. Bowman appears to approach the doors and try the right door, taking a red alarm sign with him from the entryway. The congressman then appeared to try to open the left door while knocking over the second alarm sign. Bowman then turned and pulled...

Video: Palestinian Kindergarten Graduation in Gaza Shows Kids Taught to Be Terrorists and Kill Israelis

For the second time in 10 days, swastikas were scrawled on a wall on the main road in Huwara. A week and a half after the IDF demolished a pizzeria that advertised itself using a photo of an elderly woman kidnapped to Gaza, Arabs painted a huge wall on the main road in the center of Huwara and filled it with PLO flags and swastikas. Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan reacted angrily and demanded that the security forces immediately destroy the wall. "This is the true face of the killers from Hamas and their financiers, the killers from...

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., went into meltdown mode with Newsmax's Israel correspondent, Daniel Cohen, during a Sunday press conference in Tel Aviv. At the conference Cohen asked the senators why there was not a stronger condemnation, especially of those on the left like Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who have failed to condemn Hamas' attacks. Cohen told the senators that Tlaib's "tweet is still up condemning Israel for a hospital attack we know was a lie." At that point, Graham, who held the podium with nine U.S. senators standing behind him, blew his gasket....

Fifty percent of the population in Gaza are children. The international community as well as the United States should be prepared to welcome refugees from Palestine while being very careful to vet and not allow members of Hamas,” said Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York member of the Socialist-Democratic “Squad” who remains under investigation for pulling a fire alarm in the House Cannon Office Building earlier this month.

A Jewish House Democrat blasted two members of the "Squad" over their calls to end assistance to Israel amid the country's war with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. Fox News Digital obtained comments from New Jersey Democrat Rep. Josh Gottheimer torching Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Cori Bush of Missouri over their comments following the outbreak of the war in Israel. In their statements, Tlaib and Bush — both progressives — called for U.S. assistance to Israel to end amid the war.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American member of Congress, repeatedly dodged a Fox Business Network reporter’s questions about “Hamas terrorists chopping off babies’ heads” Tuesday night. The video, which was aired on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,” showed correspondent Hillary Vaughn trailing Tlaib through a House office building hallway — with the journalist invoking the decapitation of Jewish children by jihadists at least a half-dozen times in just over a minute. “Congresswoman, Hamas terrorists have cut off babies’ heads and burned children alive. Do you support Israel’s rights to defend themselves against this brutality?” Vaughn asked Tlaib (D-Mich.), who ignored...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., ignored questions Tuesday when a Fox News reporter repeatedly asked for comment on a horrific report that Hamas beheaded Israeli babies. FOX Business reporter Hillary Vaughn confronted the far-left "Squad" member, who has criticized Israel for the attack, as she walked through a hallway on Tuesday. "Congresswoman, Hamas terrorists have cut off babies' heads and burned children alive. Do you support Israel's rights to defend themselves against this brutality?" Vaughn asked. However, Tlaib did not acknowledge the questions. "You can’t comment about Hamas terrorists chopping off babies’ heads? Congresswoman, do you have a comment on Hamas...

As we have discussed here a few times, Democrats often struggle with identifying who the real bad guys are in a conflict. Sure, they had a moment of clarity after 9/11, but that was all too fleeting. They have spent most of the two-plus decades since running interference or being flat-out apologists for anyone with a suicide vest. For the longest time, the Democrats at least managed to keep the most virulent anti-Semitic voices among them out of national office. When Minnesota sent Keith Ellison to Congress in 2007, he would at least try to be coy about his true...

A survivor of the attack said he saw scantily clad corpses, many of whom appeared to have been shot point-blank By Orlando Radice, October 09, 2023 11:03 Screengran from a video shot as revellers realise Hamas gunmen are attacking. A survivor of the rave massacre – in which over 260 young revellers at a party near the Gaza Strip were gunned down by Hamas terrorists – has said that women were “raped next to the dead bodies of their friends”. Speaking to US website Tablet, the survivor said that several of the rape victims appeared to have been executed later,...

It pays to be married to the "Squad." As Democratic Reps. Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), and Cori Bush (Mo.) rage against capitalism from within the halls of Congress, their husbands bring home the bacon, raking in millions through consulting firms, vineyards, and private security operations. The husbands of the "Squad," who appear to be friends in their own right, have seen their financial fortunes rise in line with their wives' political stardom. Here's how they did it. Mr. Ayanna Pressley Three days before Pressley took office in January 2019, her husband, Conan Harris, left his $92,500-per-year position as...

anti-Zionism, antisemitism, BDS, Conflict history, Media Bias, The I/P conflictThe colourful Twitter history of PalestineSocial media sites such as Twitter portray a wonderful history of a state called Palestine – but first let us quickly remember the truth.The historical facts:For the Islamic world, the area of 19th century Southern Syria was a sparsely populated forgotten backwater with rival clans and nomadic tribes presenting a hazardous obstacle for every trip. The weakening of the occupying power (the Ottoman Empire) and growing global trade – resurrected European interest. It was Christian travellers recognising this area as their ‘Holy Land’ that put an...

A Democrat-led bill condemning Israel’s so-called military occupation of Palestinian lands relies on research from an Israeli-designated terrorist organization. Rep. Betty McCollum (D., Minn.), along with nearly 30 of her Democrat colleagues, introduced earlier this year the "Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act." The legislation accuses Israel of wrongfully detaining Palestinian children and subjecting them to interrogation and imprisonment. But the bill relies heavily on research and statistics produced by Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP), a nonprofit group that Israel designated in 2022 as a terrorist organization. The Israeli government says...
