Zohran Mamdani's rhetoric created a dangerous atmosphere for Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to UN

NYC's first Muslim mayor has created a situation that disturbs the NYPD, because of the security issues it now entails:

New York City is bracing for a security nightmare next month when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits Gotham — and cops are blaming Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The PM’s visist will now necessitate a massive, presidential-level police shield and furious NYPD sources told The Post that Mamdani’s reckless, anti-Bibi obsession emboldens radical agitators, leaving frontline cops and everyday New Yorkers squarely in the crosshairs.

“Basically, he’s making what would be considered a Category 1 hurricane that we deal with every year into a Category 5 because of his words,” a law enforcement source said.

Hizzoner is staunchly pro-Palestine and anti-Israel and called for Netanyahu’s arrest during his 2025 mayoral campaign.

He reiterated those threats last month before acknowledging the NYPD doesn’t have the authority to do so.

Mamdani then urged his radical base to “take to the streets” during Netanyahu’s visit, saying “one of the bedrocks of our city is protest.”

That has enraged many police officers who already have their work cut out for them, the law enforcement source said.

“We have to protect hotels, we have to protect wherever [dignitaries] go out to eat, we have to protect everything,” the law enforcement source said. “Having the mayor say, ‘Go ahead and protest, and he should be arrested’ . . . is unfair to your own cops.”

Netanyahu is expected to arrive in the city next month for the United Nations General Assembly and is scheduled to address the body on Sept. 26.

Netanyahu’s full schedule isn’t yet known so the final number of police officers needed for his detail is up in the air, but it could grow to 60 or more with “direct and peripheral” officers, police sources said.

Most dignitaries get a protective detail of one sergeant and eight detectives. Security at the event also includes federal and state agents, usually supplemented by the foreign nation’s own agents.

“What’s going to stop one of the protesters from becoming a vigilante and trying to hurt or God forbid kill him?” the source said.

Cops are also worried that protesters who think they’re acting on the mayor’s behalf “could cause an officer to get hurt or even killed,” the source said.

Mamdani's already caused so much embarrassment for NYC, and the worst part is whomever voted him into office, effectively proving they're okay with one day imposing sharia upon the Big Apple. Now, there's also a situation where danger's been increased for politicians, and for all we know, it could have horrific consequences.

Democrat dhimmitude in Massachusettes

In the state of Massachusettes, the Democrats who sadly dominate want to enact laws favoring Muslims:

Massachusetts Democrats recently sponsored a Senate bill creating a “permanent” government commission “on the status of people who practice Islam,” which would communicate with the government on how legislation affects Muslims and recommend Muslims for government positions.

The Senate committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight reported the bill, No. 2134 “favorably” and referred it to the Joint Committee on Rules, which referred it to the committee on Senate Ways and Means. That committee consists of a majority of democrats.

The commission proposed by the bill would accomplish eight different tasks, including serving as a liaison between the Muslim American community and the government, researching “Islamophobia,” recommending Muslim Americans for positions in the government and undertaking “activities designed to enable the commonwealth to realize the full benefit of the skills, talents and cultural heritage of American Muslims.”

What "cultural heritage" do they truly have exactly? This continued favoratism and doubling down on imposing the same is sickening already. It's another example of how several Democrat-dominated states are going down the drain to impose sharia upon their populace and replace the Constitution with something uncivilized. And they're doing all this about 2 centuries after the state had stopped upholding privileges for Protestants. All that does is make clear the leftists in Massachusettes are doing this because they believe a religion built upon darkness is better than one built on lightness.

Supposedly pro-Israel Democrat defeated by Abdul el-Sayed supports him despite his anti-Israel standings

The Democrats in Michigan held primaries for midterm USA elections, and somehow, it's just not shocking a Muslim candidate like Abdul el-Sayed would win, defeating an allegedly pro-Israel Democrat, Haley Stevens, in the process. But what's really head-shaking is that Stevens is willing to support el-Sayed in the upcoming Congressional elections:

Stevens answered, “Well, look, I don’t speak for Abdul, but I think he knows where I stood on that issue and where I continue to stand. I’m very focused on rebuilding the temple, where many of my friends have their precious children in day school. That was in my congressional district. It remains a serious matter. And I’m going to make sure that the voices and the folks who have been impacted all across Oakland County by that temple bombing and the voices of our Jewish community are heard, and I’m going to do that in the way that my involvement and participation in the American political process allows. Look, let’s be really clear, cause you’re relitigating a primary that’s over, it’s over. I said what I had to say, and I’ll — I stand by what I had to say, to be honest with you, and I believe Abdul heard me. But the deal is is that no American is my enemy. No Republican is my enemy. No Democrat is my enemy. We’ve got to cut this stuff out. We’ve got to start working together. We’ve got to start looking at this country as this beautiful, free place that we love. My views are going to continue to be on display. I’m going to continue to be in this party, speaking out against political violence, speaking out against antisemitic violence, and all forms of political violence and hate, absolutely. And, in the meantime, the competition’s still rolling. I think you guys in the media are going to be coming out to Michigan. This will be exciting. We know you love our state. That’s a good thing. Come and go to our small businesses. We need you there when you’re in town. But we’re going to do something special. This was a special, historic primary. We all know it. Everyone was calling it out, one way or another, that there was going to be a 15-point loss, and that wasn’t the deal. And that’s okay, that these guys had it wrong. And we just showed them the Michigan way, and that’s what we’re going to show you in November when we beat Mike Rogers.”

She may be employing stealth tactics, but when she says she's willing to work to defeat Republican Rogers, that's definitely telling. So what kind of "pro-Israel" Democrat is she anyway? If John Fetterman in Pennsylvania wouldn't back el-Sayed, Stevens shouldn't either. She's rendered her stance laughable and moot.

That aside, this is another sad indicator of where the USA's headed, now facing serious problems with Islamofascists running for public office, and who knows if anything will be done to prevent them from being able to retain the positions they're sadly bound to achieve?

Update: Fox News (via Front Page) reports that el-Sayed got funding from a certain very bad activist group:

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has collected more than $115,000 from individuals who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas.

That's also bad news. Similarly bad is who else in Congress is also supporting el-Sayed's campaign (also via Front Page):

Schumer spoke with El-Sayed Wednesday, calling it a “great conversation” and praising the former Michigan public health official for a “very, very strong campaign” that mobilized Wolverine State voters who hadn’t been involved in politics.

Schumer pledged to “do what it takes to win,” brushing off his deep disagreements with El-Sayed over Israel. Other issues — healthcare, the state of the economy and tariffs — matter more to Michiganders, Schumer added.

Once again, Schumer's proven himself to be as bad, possibly worse, than Stevens is.

Update 2: an Iranian woman who became a lawmaker in Belgium warns about the encroachment of Islam in Michigan.

Federalist writer Eddie Scarry lets his hostility to Israel poke through the seams

Here's another example of how the Federalist's writers are going downhill, as their contributor Eddie Scarry, in pretending neo-cons are truly the ones against J.D. Vance, goes so far as to attack support for Israel from the right-wing side, and perpetuates the RINO opposition to the war on Iran's dictatorship:

Worth slightly more attention is what Thiessen wrote this week in The Washington Post. Recall that Thiessen is the Post content creator and former George W. Bush speechwriter whom Trump, for inexplicable reasons that may be explained in the future, has reportedly been reading and consulting privately about foreign affairs. Thiessen took an opportunity on Thursday to continue the very obviously coordinated attack on Vance planned by a slimy mix of neocons, lazy Republicans, and Israel Firsters.

Evaluating the Iran war, which has grown increasingly unpopular, even among Republicans, Thiessen wrote, “Perhaps it’s time for the president to take the advice of those who have delivered him success in Iran — not those like Vance who have failed him.”

Thiessen blames the failures in Iran not on what certainly look like short-sighted decisions by the commander in chief, but on Vance, whose primary responsibility in the conflict has been negotiating its end with Iran’s leaders. That’s at least honest. But let’s look at what Thiessen says a real victory, without any negotiation, would look like.

He wrote that the war’s objectives are: “eliminate remaining [Iranian] leadership figures; further entomb Iran’s nuclear sites; take out Iran’s remaining ballistic missile sites; destroy the economic and energy infrastructure that provides the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with a financial lifeline, as well as key highways, railroads, airports and seaports by which the regime gets financial assistance from bordering countries; and demolish Iran’s remaining defense industrial base so it cannot rebuild its destroyed capabilities.” Then, with presumably a straight face, Thiessen said, “That’s it.”

Oh, is that all?!

Well, not really. Thiessen, perhaps to his credit, didn’t even pretend to hide the ball. Though having concluded, “That’s it” — just the complete decimation of a global energy supplier’s entire transportation infrastructure and economy — Thiessen went on to do the equivalent of, But wait! There’s more! He then said the U.S. would simply have to commit to keeping American troops just off the shore of Iran in perpetuity and “provide covert support” to Iranian rebels, in hopes that they might fight their own government. You know, just like they are now! Wait, that’s not actually happening, is it? Oh well!

Mr. Scarry ignores so much of previous research it's not even funny. He relies on reports from the otherwise shoddy AP Wire, doesn't pay any attention to the Tea Party Patriots research on the USA public's support for the war, and even ignores that much of the Iranian inhabitants are unarmed, making it difficult to fight against the Iranian government savages. If that's how Scarry's going to act, can somebody like that be counted on to fight against the Islamofascist regime being established in Europe? Or even the USA itself?

With this, the Federalist continues to send troubling signs they're not dedicated to freedom and liberty any more than say, Ron Paul, who was probably the role model for some of their more questionable writers. It's utterly head-shaking as it's sad they're becoming as overrun with phonies like Scarry, much like the Democrats are becoming overrun with Islamists and communists.

Supermarket in Ramat Bet Shemesh without safety permit destroyed by fire caused by irresponsible children

One of the worst things about this latest disaster in Bet Shemesh is that the supermarket itself had no technology for preventing fires to begin with:

Jerusalem District Fire Investigators have completed their investigation into the July 19 fire that broke out at a supermarket in Ramat Beit Shemesh, determining that the fire was caused by children playing with open fire in one of the supermarket’s rooms, while the store was open and operating normally.

The fire broke out in a supermarket located on the entrance floor of an eight-story residential building. Firefighters brought the flames under control and prevented them from spreading to the residential apartments. The incident ended without any injuries.

The investigation findings also revealed that the business operated without a permit from the Israeli Fire and Rescue Service, and that no fire detection and extinguishing equipment was installed. The Fire and Rescue Service stated that such systems could have prevented the spread of the fire and reduced the extent of the damage.

The Fire and Rescue Department emphasized that this is a phenomenon of businesses and buildings that do not meet fire safety requirements and clarified that meeting these requirements is a basic condition for protecting human life and property.

The Fire and Rescue Department also called on parents to talk to their children about the dangers inherent in playing with fire and to keep ignition means away from them. According to them, the combination of playing with fire and the lack of safety measures could end in disaster.

The problem is that the Haredi parents whose children caused this debacle likely didn't even teach them why it's important to look both ways when crossing the street. And then the supermarket itself made things worse by not only leaving the children unattended, they didn't even coordinate with safety officials to make sure the complex was safe and had a permit to operate. This is similar in some ways to the recent case of a daycare center in Jerusalem that operated without proper safety for the children in its care, and resulted in 2 deaths. Over the years, we continue to see this kind of alarming lack of recognition for safety of anybody in Haredi enclaves, and it's miraculous nobody died in this latest disaster.

Muslim rapist given 21 years for assault on mother in Gedera

A Muslim rapist who attacked a mother in Gedera while her children were in the house has been given 21 years in prison and a huge fine:

The Central District Court in Lod sentenced Barkat Abu Issa to 21 years in prison on Wednesday for breaking into a woman’s Gedera home, binding and raping her while her three young children were inside.

Abu Issa, 25, was convicted following a trial of rape under aggravated circumstances, burglary of a residential building, and abuse of a minor over the February 2023 attack.

The court also ordered him to pay NIS 200,000 in compensation, comprising NIS 150,000 to the woman and NIS 50,000 to her son, who was two years old at the time of the attack.

The panel directly addressed the woman at the end of its ruling, saying that she had suffered an unbearable and life-altering assault and continued to contend with its effects on her and her children.

What the monster did was an utterly perverse act, and his sentence is not enough. He should be thrown in an isolated dungeon for centuries.

Haredi journalist was arrested for child porn

The newspaper the offender in question works for is not made public any more than his name, but anyway, here's what the case is about:

A senior Haredi journalist has been arrested on suspicion of possessing pedophilic content.

Police say they arrested the suspect, a 58-year-old man, this morning at his home in Kiryat Yearim, an ultra-Orthodox town west of Jerusalem.

Officers who searched his house seized his laptop and cellphone.

The suspect will be brought today to the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court for an extension of his remand as investigators continue to probe the case, police add.

The suspect, who is not yet identified ahead of his hearing, is variably described in Hebrew media reports as the editor of, or a senior reporter at, a well-known newspaper in the ultra-Orthodox world.

Apart from privacy laws, why all the secrecy? Whoever the creep is, he and his newspaper should be boycotted into the ground. Yet another example of how the ultra-Orthodox world is not the saint they'd want everybody to think they are.

Haredi rioters attack soldiers of the same background

Another nasty encounter with Haredis hostile to presumably anybody not considered a leftist, and the guilty party was demonstrating in favor of those who vandalized a chief justice's house in Alon Shvut:

A demonstration in support of those involved in last month's riot outside the home of Israeli Supreme Court Deputy President Justice Noam Sohlberg was held in Jerusalem and ended in violence, during which three Haredi soldiers serving in the IDF's Netzah Yehuda Battalion were attacked.

The event began with a vehicle convoy from Beit Shemesh to Jerusalem, after which participants continued on foot to Shabbat Square. During the march, demonstrators carried signs opposing the enlistment of Haredim into the IDF, including one reading, "We will never serve in the enemy's army."

Participants also shouted slogans against police officers, and in several instances objects were thrown at them.

The three soldiers, who happened to pass through the area by chance, were assaulted by some of those attending the protest.

The march took place following the release of 63 haredi suspects who had been arrested in connection with last month's riot outside Justice Sohlberg's home in Alon Shvut.

According to the investigation, the rioters damaged Sohlberg's home and the family's vehicle. Windows were smashed, flower pots and planters were broken, and the entrance to the house was vandalized. Israeli flags bearing swastikas were also placed in the street.

Following the incident, Justice Sohlberg's wife, Meira Sohlberg, described what they found upon returning home.

"We are children of Holocaust survivors," she said. "Jews are hurting one another like this. Look at this destruction-a pogrom. What is this, Kristallnacht?"

That the thugs would even bring a desecrated flag to their repulsive riot was a most antisemitic act, and makes clear there's a crisis of 5th column self-haters in Israel's Haredi enclaves, some of which even allow PLO flags to be flown. That also speaks volumes.

One of the commentors to the article said:

Two comments are necessary regarding this article:

1. If it isn't clear to anyone up to now, it should be crystal clear now: the Chareidi community does not consider itself citizens of the State of Israel. (There are many that do, but the vocal, rioting ones certainly do not.)

2. I've said this before: According to Rashi: Just lifting a hand to hit a fellow Jew makes you a "Rasha," an evil person. That is the true Torah value expressed by one the giants of Torah. Of course, if you consider all the other Jews in Israel as the enemy, calling them Amalek, then this warping of Torah values lreads to rationalizing - falsely - that you can hit them. It's time for them to "change their tune" and join us in the real Torah world.

Another said:

I am charedi. I have one married son who served (reserves) for ten months in a combat unit in Gaza during the war and another two in Lebanon. I have another married son in Kollel. Both have families. My Kollel son learns (Torah) nightly with my reserves son. IMHO, the behavior of these so-called "charedim" (in costume) is against the Torah, is a chilul Hashem and is reprehensible.

But that's exactly why the Haredi lifestyle just isn't working anymore. If more would leave it, we'd be much better off.

Muslim invasion in Spanish Ceuta enclave leaves at least 67 dead

While some of these casualties of the latest Muslim "migrant" crisis around Spain's Ceuta enclave may be the invaders themselves, there do appear to sadly be innocent bystanders who were victims too:

The death toll in Spain’s Ceuta border crisis with Morocco has climbed to 67, the Spanish government said Saturday. They included some who drowned and some who were killed in a stampede to cross a breakwater barrier.

Spain announced it was installing a 500-meter-long containment barrier along the breakwater fence into the sea after between 50,000 and 60,000 migrants breached the tiny Spanish territory’s frontier between Thursday and Friday.

A handful of exhausted migrants who swam to Ceuta’s urban Tarajal beach Saturday morning were met by soldiers who escorted them back across the border. Spain’s interior ministry says the majority of those who entered the Spanish territory in North Africa have already returned to Morocco.

After days of chaos and streets packed with people who had hoped for a better life in Spain, residents of Ceuta woke up Saturday to an uneasy calm.

Even so, security for residents of the autonomous city of 84,000 remained bruised.

Well, Pedro Sanchez's disastrous policies have definitely done it again. If this reaches mainland Spain itself, it'll spell an absolute horror.
