BH'



To my Chaverim,


I come to you with a heart full of hope. Israel maybe a friend to the United States but the United States must have more than a handful of people who fully will support Israel in Congress and in the Senate. What we have today are Muslim Sharia Candidates that are disguising themselves as “Christian” Americans to get into offices of the US Congress. For many years, we had only two Congressmen, Kevin Ellison and Andre Carson. By looking at their American given names you could not even guess they were Muslims. You have Rep. Maxine Waters, who has associated herself with the Nation Of Islam, now a convert to Islam, and close friends with Louis Farrakhan, who speaks about killing all Caucasians who claim to be Jewish. We need to put more people in office who can defend Israel to the fullest and warrant Israel and the Jewish people of America safety as well as guaranty the support of Israel will continue with the love they have for the country and the people.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am Jewish, both of my parents were Jewish, their parents were Jewish. My DNA is traced all the way to King David. I am an American with a dual Citizenship to Israel. I served in the IDF in 1972-1976 and then in Intelligence from 1976-2001. I have always been a pro-active Zionist. I had led many activities when I lived in Philadelphia which included chaining myself to the Soviet Embassy with Dr Jay Blum. I was the Secretary General of the Philadelphia Union of Jewish Students and had organized the first Philadelphia Yom Ha'atzmaut Parade in 1969 with and a party for all at the Civic Center in Philadelphia and brought in Shuli Natan who sung Yerushalayim Shel Zahav. The pride of Israel hung over us all with Jerusalem finally back in Jewish hands.

My parents met in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Naval Yard. My mother was my fathers boss and almost cut his hand off demonstrating how to cut metal and properly rivet it onto the U.S. Navy planes. My father said he had no choice then to fall in love with her and marry her. My father joined the U.S. Army and my mother in Philadelphia joined the beginning of the Haganah. My father, as an MP in the U.S. Army, freed many Jews hiding from the Nazis and helped them with food, clothing, and getting them connections to go to Palestine as it was called in those days. When the World War II was over for the United States, it was not over for the Jews. My father through my mother became a gun runner. Buying army/navy surplus with their discounts in the canteens. My father and mother were married in New York City and for a honeymoon they took a dinggy to Palestine to distribute the guns and teach the Jewish children how to defend themselves. In 1948, they knew Israel was going to become a state and there may be war. My father, my pregnant mother, and his third cousin traveled to Haifa. My mother was not allowed to fight because she was eight months and was sent back to the States. My father and General Mickey Marcus, his third cousin, fought for a homeland. Because of their support and heroics, my parents became one of many Americans who were the first Citizens of Israel.

I was born in 1950 in Philadelphia, and named on my Hebrew Birth Certificate, Leah Bat Moshe' v Tziporah. I had no idea my parents registered me as a Citizen of Israel. On my American Birth Certificate, my name is Loretta Lax. I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood that became Polish. Every Christmas and Easter our windows were broken. One Easter when I was five years old I was beaten so badly I was not expected to live but I am a Jew and a survivor. From that experience I became a Zionist. I joined Zionist groups and spoke about Israel, our homeland. I saved money to plant trees in Israel. I had my heart on traveling to Israel. My Grandmother died in 1963 and left me money. That was the money I was going to use to go to Israel. I left for Israel in 1971. Lived on a Kibbutz for thirteen months and received a letter "Greetings you are to report". I was drafted. I entered the Army and was involved in 2 wars 1973 and as a reserve 1982. I came back to the United States in 1976 and met my late husband Jordan Miller. I had a son in 1979 Moshe Tzvi and I was back and forth to Israel doing missions I can not discuss.

I got into Politics with Senator John Heinz at a rally in Philadelphia. Senator Heinz was a strong supporter of the Jewish Community and Israel but his wife Teresa wasn't and still isn't. Senator Heinz was a strong supporter of Soviet Jewry and together we worked to free the Soviet Jews from Russia. I called Senator Heinz a tower of strength for Israel. He was my mentor in Politics.

My feelings about the BDS which consists mostly of Trans-Jordan's to boycott Israeli goods and services. I feel this Organization should be classified as a Jihad Terrorist Group. They incite people to attack anyone who buys Israeli products or services. The BDS movement is actually a puppet organization in a theater directed by Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Holyland foundation as well as CAIR, the American Muslim Students, VIVA Palestrina, ANSWER, and Antifa. All of these organizations are anti-Israel. They need to be watched very carefully because their actors are Jihadists. They have no problem activating suicide bombs or killing Jews. The code name for Jew is now Zionist. The Israel Anti-Boycott Act should be enforced for not only the economic state and safety of Israel but for the Economic state and safety of all Americans. What these BDS Jihadists don't understand that the Intel processors in their computers were made by Israeli Companies, many of the medical procedures were developed by Israeli doctors, and that the destruction of Israeli economy would cripple the entire world and bring everyone back to the stone age.

By making the BDS a terrorist group and connecting them to CAIR, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Holyland Foundation, The American Muslim Students, ANSWER, Antifa, and VIVA Palestrina would halt and cripple their means of credit with loans and banks for the continuation of their organization to exist. Please note I included Antifa since the Militants of Antifa are being trained by Hamas and ISIS to riot, burn down Jewish stores, call Jews Nazis, and they have many Muslims in their ranks. This is not only happening in America but throughout Europe and the United Kingdom. I stand with Israel and I would like to see stricter laws and sanctions on any country that promotes such conduct.

America should demand from the UN that Human Rights problems are not in Israel but the display of Pallywood throughout the entire fifty-seven Muslim Countries should be stop and the truth come forward. But with the influence of the S.S. Muslim Nazis who settled in Egypt, Jordan, Gaza, and the other surrounding Muslim countries are still at war, in what I call a remission of war, are influencing the Muslims with the Jewish Solution now called the Zionist Solution. “From the river to the sea” is not a jingle for a resort it is a hate chant. I would support The Israel Anti-Boycott Act (S.720 & H.R.1697)

The IRGA which is really a masked organization to capture investors to feed money into Iran and it's Nuclear Program. According to President Trump, who has the same views as I do, considers the IRGA a terrorist group. Again, Sharia Muslim Countries like the Iran military, has supported and trained Hezbollah and Hamas. By doing this it is unknown if they also have been agreeing to exchange in the future nuclear weapons. But by training these terrorist violates the spirit of the Nuclear deal which according to Mohammad in the Koran a agreement with an infidel is only valid for seven years. However if something better comes along the deal is null and voided. America and Israel are the Infidels, the Big Satan and the Little Satan. IRGA is really a Military group posing as an investors group on the Tehran exchange and has many investors in jitters with the overshadowing of President Trump's aggressive stand to cancel the nuclear deal. By replacing sanctions on Iran and freezing their assets, it will weaken the wealth of allowing this Nuclear facility to grow so they can develop nuclear bombs and weapons. However I would support the demolishing of these plants since these facilities were not developed in the middle of the dessert for cities to enjoy electricity. These plants are owned and operated by the government of Iran and the military is presence is about 77% making it a Government operation with minimal private investment. IRGA commander is Mohammad Ali Jafari who is always seen in Military attire. He has been graciously photographed many times with Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Foreign Minister of Iran and the architect of the nuclear deal. Since the Ayatollah Khomenei, Iran became a terrorist country and Israel lost a friend with the overthrow of Shah of Iran.

I agree with the sanction of Iran on entities owned or controlled by the IRGC, including major Iranian financial institutions, companies on the Tehran Stock Exchange, and entities of which the IRGC controls a minority stake. However the only word I would change since the IRGC stands for Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Military presence is not a minority, I would change that to a majority. I would support The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Economic Exclusion Act (H.R. 5132).

Israel has a right to defend itself and it's citizens by any means. I do not agree in giving back any land that Israel has won in any war. The Trans-Jordan's were invited to return back to their homes after the War of Independence of 1948. They refused and they abandoned their properties. The properties became part of the Israeli government and was built on, renovated, or demolished. In 1929, the Trans-Jordan's murdered close to sixty-nine Jews for the rumor made up by grass roots of the Muslim Brotherhood that the Jews plan to seize control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. From this massacre, out of the ashes, grew the Haganah which became the nucleus of the Israeli Defense Force the IDF. We can not allow another Holocaust, whether it is in Europe or in America or anywhere the Jews are being persecuted. America was fought and paid for by the Jewish Money of Haym Salomon who is classified as the American Financier and Patriot of the American revolution along with the members of Mikvah Israel. They are never mentioned in the history books and the books are slanted that only Christians dealt with the Revolutionary War. It was the Rothschild family who financed the Civil War with a loan which both Salomon and Rothschild families were never paid back but made into demons and the Rothschild family still is demonized today. From the loan of the Rothschild family, the Antisemitism resulted in General Order No. 11(1862) which expelled Jews from their land and homes in Kentucky, confiscated Jewish Property, and made them homeless. The Order read as the following: General Order No. 11 decreed as follows:

  1. The Jews, as a class violating every regulation of trade established by the Treasury Department and also department orders, are hereby expelled from the Department [of the Tennessee] within twenty-four hours from the receipt of this order.
  2. Post commanders will see to it that all of this class of people be furnished passes and required to leave, and any one returning after such notification will be arrested and held in confinement until an opportunity occurs of sending them out as prisoners, unless furnished with permit from headquarters.
  3. No passes will be given these people to visit headquarters for the purpose of making personal application of trade permits
This Order made it more important for Jews to be Zionist and return to their home land for safety reasons. Antisemitism increased with Henry Ford's newspaper as well as Henry Ford and John Kennedy senior's sympathetic desires to assist Hitler's quest to the Jewish Solution. Their pressure for the refusal of allowing the immigration from a Democratic Congress and a Democratic President. The St Louis was turned away from the shores of Florida and the Jews were sent back to their death in Germany. From these ashes of World War II came forth the Country of Israel.

In America, the Blue laws were past. so that Jews in certain states such as Pennsylvania and New Jersey demanded all business be closed on Sunday with the disregard of Jews who practice the Sabbath Friday sundown to Saturday sundown . Even in Jewish Shopping areas business owners were fined or had to pay the authorities off in order to be allowed to stay open. There were signs on hotel lawns that stated no Dogs or Jews permitted in this hotel. This was fought and won. The other laws disregarding the Jewish Holidays in schools , work and other activities such as political events. Still today, I have experienced discrimination by the “Good Christians” of the Republican Party with their events since they hold their events on Friday Nights and on Jewish Holidays knowing they are Jewish Holidays. I have asked them to please hold some other days during the week and they have refused. And they claim they stand with Israel and do not practice antisemitism.

The establishment of a Jewish Country came and Jews fought back knowing they had a place to go to. Israel and the Jewish people of Israel have a right to a sovereign state. They have the right to defend themselves. Everything the US government has done to the Jews here in the United States is owed to the Jewish State. Yes, I agree-upon increases in Israel’s security assistance, expanded weapons stockpiles, and new U.S.-Israel cooperation in anti-drone technologies, cyber security and space. Yes to the authorized U.S. security assistance for Israel, as called for in the 2016 U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding on security assistance. Yes to a joint assessment of the quantity and type of precision-guided munitions necessary for Israel to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas and other terrorist groups. Mandates rapid acquisition and deployment procedures for such munitions. Yes to the Extension authorization for the U.S. War Reserve Stockpile in Israel by five years and authorizes an additional $1 billion in stocks; authorizes the president to add precision guided munitions to the stockpile for potential Israeli use in a conflict with Hezbollah. Yes to the extension of authorization for loan guarantees to Israel by four years and establishment of a U.S.-Israel cybersecurity research and development grant program Yes to the NASA administrator to continue working with the Israel Space Agency to identify and cooperatively pursue peaceful space exploration and science initiatives. Yes to the authorization of administrators of the U.S. Agency for International Development to enter into a memorandum of understanding with Israel to advance common goals. Yes to the authorization that the president to establish a counter-drone program with Israel. Yes to the mandate to improved reporting on enhancing Israel’s qualitative military edge (QME), including assessments of Israel’s ability to effectively defend against non-state actors because Pallywood must stop. And yes I will press the administration (any administration)to expedite export licensing for Israel by adding it to the list of nations eligible for the Strategic Trade Authorization Exception.

Moving the United States Embassy to Jerusalem and keeping it there has been a dream of mine, I have personal reasons and now proud this dream has become a reality that Jerusalem is now established as part of Israel and belongs to Israel. Mohammad, in his Koran, stated that the Jews will return and we have. Only reasons the Muslims are attacking is because Mohammad tells them to do so in the Koran. Israel with Jerusalem is now whole. I am so proud and happy I lived to see this. The United States and President Donald Trump have set a precedence that the United States will not bow down to Islamic demands. Israel is my forefathers homeland and mine as a dual Citizen.

I have to address about a two-state resolution. Let Gaza be Gaza and let the West Bank be made Jordanian citizens. The U.S. must educate their own Senators and Congresspeople that giving or selling Reaper and Predator Drones to Jordan or any Islamic country because it is not in the best interest of any country including to the United States and Israel. Jordan's leaders have pledged allegiance to ISIS. ISIS is part of and financed by the Holyland Foundation, The Muslim Brotherhood. and all terrorist groups who are arms of them. These drones will be traded and used to kill Americans and Israelis. These drones can carry dirty and nuclear bombs. The ballistic results from these bombs would be disastrous.

Who am I? I'm an American/Israeli and a Jew and I'm proud to be one. I will be the mouse that roars. I will be the Congresswoman with a Mouth. In order to answer your question for the present and the future, I had to go back to the past. The past is what makes us who we are and why we do what we do. I am not a Conservative, I am a Constitutionalist. I will not allow Sharia to replace our laws. When I get into office, I guarantee to AIPAC, Israel, and I will be working extremely close together. I have made my pilgrimage to Jerusalem. I have placed my prayers in the Kotel. If I am invited to return, I will do so with such great honor and respect to revisit all my Jewish Israeli relatives and friends, to honor in memory of our fallen heroes, to meet our hero's in the IDF, INF, IAF, Mossad, and Bet Shin. I will not go empty handed but with the gifts of support, friendship, and love for Israel and its people. With these gifts, you will know Israel has a relative who is willing to fight for them till the day I die and stand for them against all odds. I asked a Rabbi at my husband's funeral, “Why did Hashem leave me here on this earth alone. Why in all the years I fought for Israel did he not take me, instead he took my husband on a Friday night and it was Shemini Atzeret? Why did Hashem do this to me? To make a joyous holiday dedicated to the love of Hashem painful?” Rabbi Yochonon Goldman's answer was very simple. “As a reminder, Leah. Your mission is not completed”.

This is not good news....Jihadists take aim at Baghdad, Iran steps in to help historical foe

This is not good news

As jihadists take aim at Baghdad, Iran steps in to help historical foe


Sept. 22, 2011: Members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard march during a parade to commemorate the anniversary of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-88) in Tehran.Reuters
Iran is coming to the aid of its historic nemesis, sending elite fighters to Iraq in the wake of a Sunni insurgency that has claimed two key northern cities and now threatens Baghdad, Fox News has learned.
Some 150 fighters from the Revolutionary Guards elite Quds force have already been dispatched by Tehran, and the division's powerful commander, Qassem Suleimani, met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Thursday and pledged to send two notorious Iranian brigades to aid in the defense of Baghdad. That could amount to as many as 10,000 soldiers sent to fight the Sunni group known as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).
Maliki is believed to be considering the offer, especially in light of reported decisions by the U.S. to reject his request for American airstrikes against the Al Qaeda-affiliated militants who have recently overrun Mosul and Tikrit and appear to be preparing for a march on the capital. The two brigades that Suleimani offered are Asaab Ahel Haq, a Shi’ite paramilitary unit, and the Shi’ite insurgency group Kata'ib Hezbollah.
“Baghdad is going to be overrun. The Green Zone is going down.”
- U.S. intelligence official
After U.S.-trained security forces dropped their weapons and fled their posts in Mosul, the regime in Baghdad has reason to fear for its survival, an intelligence official said.
“Baghdad is going to be overrun," he said. "The Green Zone is going down.”
Although Iran and Iraq were at war in the 1980s, both the Maliki regime and the rulers in Tehran are Shi'ite, and Iran does not want a fanatical jihadist takeover of its neighbor. Iran has positioned troops along its border with Iraq and has threatened to bomb opposition forces if they come within about 60 miles of Iran’s border, according to an Iranian army general.
News about the fall of these two cities, which caused about 500,000 to flee, worried Iran. Mosul is in the western Iraqi province of the Biblically-mentioned Nineveh, which shares a 300-mile border with Syria, where the Iranian government has been pulling the political and financial puppet strings to keep President Bashar al-Assad in power against the opposing rebels and militants.
In addition to protecting the strategic border to Syria, Iran’s government has interests in safeguarding holy shrines and sites in Najaf and Karbala, significant to the Shiite Islamic religion. Many Iranians make pilgrimage to these sites every year.  
Predominantly Shiite Muslim Iran will combat the "violence and terrorism" of Sunni extremists who have launched an anti-government offensive in neighboring Iraq, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani warned on Thursday.
“This is an extremist, terrorist group that is acting savagely," Rouhani said live on state television.
If Iraq's pleas for support are rebuffed by the U.S., it may have no choice but to turn to Iran, said experts.
“My sources tell me Maliki believes he is in a desperate situation and wants and needs our support," said retired four-star Gen. Jack Keane, former vice chief of staff of the U.S. Army. "If he doesn't get it in a way that will help him, he will certainly turn to Iran.”
Iran has more to offer than just the region's most powerful army, Keane said. Tehran could support Maliki with intelligence and advisors, too.
ISIS, a Sunni Islamic jihadi group, which is an offshoot of Al Qaeda, has gained control of geopolitically vital cities in both Syria and Iraq over the last year. It considers Shi'ite Muslims heretics that must be killed at the sword. Its goal is to cleanse Iraq from its Shiite influences.
ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad Al-Adnani said in an audio released by intelligence sources that the group is planning to march toward Baghdad and other pivotal cities, including Karbala and Najaf.
"March to Baghdad al-Rashid, the Baghdad of the Caliphate. We have a score to settle...Be certain of the victory of Allah as long as you fear Him," Al-Adnani said in the recording.
As ISIS forces have stormed their way across northern Iraq, they have put into effect Sharia law on the citizens of Nineveh province, circulating a document on social media warning local leaders and religious sheikhs not to “work with (the Iraqi) government and be traitors.” The document also prohibits women from leaving the house unless absolutely necessary and for women to “dress decently and wear wide clothes.”
The document also bans drugs, alcohol, cigarettes in public and the possession of guns and non- ISIS flags.
ISIS terrorists in Iraq are allegedly made up of Tunisians and Yemenis, along with other “international fighters,” according to one Iraqi witness. 
As the militants went from Mosul to Tikrit, they seized oil fields in Salahuddin province and looted the central bank and collected $420 million. They also took 48 Turkish citizens hostage as they seized the Turkish consulate in Mosul, which could bring another regional power down on them. Many eyes are on Turkey, a NATO ally, that has shown interest in northern Iraq for some time now for economic reasons and to support Iraq’s marginalized Kurdish minority.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey held an emergency briefing with high ranking security officials and the Turkish foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, who said, “No one should try to test the limits of Turkey’s strength.”

Brandeis’s dishonor diaries
By Charles Jacobs and Ilya Feoktistov
Imam Suhaib Webb was a happy man last Wednesday. The radical Islamist leader of Boston’s Saudi- funded mega mosque boasted that his Muslim community persuaded Brandeis University President Fred Lawrence to withdraw a Brandeis honorary degree from Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the courageous, Somalia-born humanrights activist who fled – and who campaigns against – the horrors radical Islam inflicts on women.
Webb blasted out thanks to his tens of thousands of social media followers, to the Brandeis Muslim Student Alliance and to Brandeis Professor of Islam Joseph Lumbard for their activist work. He cheered: “Great job, ,!” Umma is the Muslim community.
If you watch the videos of his sermons, you might conclude that Webb is homophobic, anti-Semitic and a misogynist, a man who claims that uncovered women are “bad people.” His mosque’s website once had instructions for men on how to beat their wives.
Ali’s brave words expose this kind of abuse of women in the Islamic world. She threatens to contest – and to expose – Islamist ideology for what it truly is. So Webb sought to have her silenced. And he succeeded.
If Brandeis President Fred Lawrence lived in a world not drenched in post-modernist political correctness, he would be Ali’s most natural champion. But he is owned and ruled by that canon. Too many people do not understand how much America’s ideological world has been shifting over these last 30 years.
It was almost exactly a year ago – just after Rabbi Ronne Friedman of Boston’s Temple Israel publicly endorsed his “depth, sincerity and religious scholarship” in an expression of Jewish interreligious “tolerance” -- that Webb attacked Ali. He did it from the podium at the annual banquet of the Council on American- Islamic Relations (CAIR), the extremist Hamas front group that led the hateful campaign on Brandeis to snub her. Webb called Ali – a black African woman who converted away from Islam – an “idiot” and wondered: “How can she teach at the University of Phoenix, let alone Harvard?” (Ali is a fellow at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.)
Ayaan Hirsi Ali It’s a topsy-turvy world. Most Jews older than 40 don’t have a clue about the fast-flowing river of politically correct thought that runs beneath and undermines our society’s foundations of history, reason, morality and logic. Most do not comprehend the difference between the mental world in which our children are steeped (in their schools and in the popular culture) and the 1960s ideology of our elites. That’s why so many were shocked that a “Jewish” and “liberal” university could publicly dishonor a black woman who fights for human rights.
Many are shocked because they do not know the new rules of social and political life, and how deeply those rules have penetrated. But only by knowing today’s reigning rules that comprise a secular theology with a complex hierarchy of values could one understand how Webb, a white man, can call a black woman an idiot, question her qualifications to teach at Harvard and not be relegated to social hell.
Only operating under those rules could Lawrence publicly shame and dishonor a woman who escaped her medieval society – after having been genitally mutilated, forced by her devoutly religious family into marriage, and threatened with death – and who now bravely faces down her murderous enemies. Only in this new and PC world can Webb, the white son of an Oklahoma bank executive, claim greater victimhood and moral sanction from Lawrence than a brutalized but brave African woman simply because he adopted a fake accent and converted to Islam while Ali converted out of it.
Parents considering the huge tuitions that colleges now fetch are persuaded to pay through the nose in part because, yes, they deem it practical, but also because they are moved by glowing phrases about the glory and power of ideas. They have yet to understand that the ideas in power on today’s campus can turn on a black heroine and give victory to an Islamist because the president of a “Jewish,” “liberal” center of learning needs to be in line with the Islamist, even though he claims that Jews were Muhammad’s “greatest antagonizers” and that animosity toward the Jews is understandable.
On May 9, 2006, I met Ali in Harvard Square for breakfast. She was to speak at the Kennedy School that night. She would relate over toast and coffee that her adopted country, the Netherlands, was soon to withdraw her body guards; that the Dutch decided they could no longer protect her.
While in the Netherlands, Ali had co-produced with Vincent Van Gogh’s great-grandnephew Theo Van Gogh a film called “Submission” about the Islamic oppression of women. In response, CAIR’s fellow Islamic extremists stirred up so much violent hatred against her and Van Gogh that one of their followers decided to act. The Muslim terrorist ambushed Van Gogh in a street in broad daylight, shot him eight times, sliced his neck until his head was barely hanging on by a flap of skin, and pinned a note to his mutilated body with a knife. The note was for Ali. It read: “You’re next.” Interestingly, the recent attacks against Ali by Webb and CAIR are motivated by a new film she made about suffering Muslim women called “Honor Diaries.”
Waiting in the lobby of the Harvard Inn – she was 10 minutes late – I saw strategically placed at every possible entrance three very large, athletic blonde men whose jackets bulged with muscle (or metal). A smiling giant walked up to me, said my name, and when I confirmed, led me into a private breakfast room. I had put my hand on his back as we walked. It felt sheathed in steel. He had me sit facing away from the door.
Ali entered the room and her guards left. We spoke of her situation briefly and then turned to the business of that night’s panel, sponsored by the Dutch Student Club at Harvard, which had, I had to tell Ali, gotten cold feet and begged me to have her mitigate her message about Islam.
Today, I’d have to tell her that at Brandeis much of what counts as Western civilization got cold feet and won’t stand with her. It may therefore not stand up for itself. That this happened at the hands of a Jewish president of a Jewish center of learning is extraordinarily painful.
But now comes the pushback: After the shock and dismay, people are mobilizing. I see that professors, writers and intellectuals, many of them liberals, are coming to their senses. The resultant protests and discussions will be a gauge of just have far we have fallen and just how well we can recover.

Here is our analysis of pop-culture anti-American pro-terrorism at the Rolling Stone
Rolling Stoned: from Guevara to Tsarnaev
by Charles Jacobs and Ilya Feoktistov
August 2, 2013 The Jewish Advocate
The Rolling Stone cover glamorizing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should not have surprised.
The cultural left was born hating American power and blaming it for the poverty and oppression of indigenous, darker-skinned Third Worlders who naturally and justifiably hate us. Expressing admiration for violent anti- Americans has for a long time been a way for the disaffected to exclaim how much they are not like the white imperialists they live among, how – unlike us – they are noble souls, standing with the oppressed.
In his masterful book, “Bobos in Paradise,” New York Times columnist David Brooks explained how therapeutic this sort of thing can be for middle-class youth who find themselves living off the wealth of their parents, and Western capitalism in general – a wealth they sense is undeserved, a wealth they feel traps them in an immorally privileged corner.
We should have some sympathy: It is a good thing that our children, swathed in affluence unknown to the common man just decades ago, feel moral twinges when they see the lives of Third Worlders. The problem is that the children of the West have been misled about how wealth is created. Historians know that specific cultural attributes combined with specific economic policies to create the West’s cornucopia. Today’s children are not taught that “the Protestant work ethic” and free markets lifted the West out of age-old poverty, or that hard work, deferred gratification, investment, and free trade are part of an interconnected system that can’t help but produce massive wealth. Yes, the same capitalism that lifted all boats did not bestow its gifts equally. And yes, raw capitalism produces hardships that can and should be alleviated through safety nets. But the simpler lesson taught by the left – whose “long march” through our cultural intuitions won the day – is that our wealth is to blame for others’ poverty. In the ’60s, the young victims of leftist fallacies cried out against their “white-skin privilege,” tried to join the Black Panthers, and cheered the Viet Cong. This has old, known and even pre-political roots. Ever since Jean Jacques Rousseau cursed the emerging, artificially sophisticated, modern city life and contrasted it with the purer, nobler bygone days of agrarian society, much of the Western middle class developed a romance with the “unspoiled primitive,” a vision Rousseau captured in his description of “the noble savage.” Artists such as Gauguin went to live with and glorify the natives. Anthropologists studied the Trobriand Islanders, seeking the secrets of our lost natures.
The “Guerrillero Herico” photograph of Che Guevara has become so popular it’s been printed on T-shirts. Political anti-Westernism emerged with the socialist critique of capitalism, and was dramatically expressed by those who romanticized bomb-throwing anarchists and later, with even more passion, communist guerrillas. Western infatuation with “anti-materialist” rebels reached a pinnacle with the mad love-crush over Che Guevara, a child of the middle class himself who revolted, became the Cuban communist terrorist “guerrilla fighter,” and sought to create the “new man” who would live for moral and not material goals. Che achieved rock-star hero status among the West’s spoiled children who didn’t actually have to give up any of their privileges, but just wear his T-shirt and sing from his songbook. His image was made iconic: Alberto Korda’s photograph of him entitled “Guerrillero Herico” (“Heroic Guerrilla Fighter”) is thought to be the most famous photograph in the world. It’s worn as a flag on the chests of the rich kids whose T-shirts shriek hatred for their own “greedy” kind and for the riches their parents’ society bestowed upon them, trapping them in white guilt.
Communist “guerrillas” are a bit passé. The left failed to recruit the “proletariat” for its revolution – the working class preferred scarfing up capitalist goods at Wal-Mart over programs to transform themselves into the “new man.” But ever resourceful, leftists adopted the Arab/Muslim “masses” as a new force to defeat the capitalists. And so today, radical leftists fetishize Islamic terrorists.
This is not new: Americans were surprised to see leftist Tsarnaev supporters flying in from as far as Washington State to protest outside court during his arraignment. But Boston leftists have been developing crushes on Islamists for quite a while Indeed Dzhokhar is the third Islamist terrorist that Boston’s radicals have sought to turn into celebrities.
The first was Tarek Mehanna, accused of plotting to use a machine gun to kill shoppers at the Attleboro shopping mall and convicted of material support for al-Qaida. Mehanna was given this year’s Sacco and Vanzetti award from the leftist Community Church of Boston, based in the Trinity Church in Copley Square – just feet away from where the Marathon bombs killed three people and maimed scores more.
“Occupy Boston” has also endorsed Mehanna’s cause. There is a video of an “Occupy Boston” spokesman telling the crowd at a rally in Boston Common: “I believe that Tarek is innocent of any wrongdoing. …Tarek is an Egyptian American who empowered his community – an oppressed community, the Muslim community, speaking against U.S. wars in the Middle East. He represents, in that sense, a link in the chain of international solidarity against this global system that has oppressed so many of us.” He concluded by saying: “At the end of the day, we are all Tarek Mehanna.” There was even a Tarek “flash mob” performance on the streets of Cambridge, replete with 60’s-looking radical women with hairy armpits. “Tarek” iconography – on websites and posters – preceded Dzhokhar’s.
Shortly after Boston’s radical leftists adopted Mehanna, they learned to love Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT- and Brandeis-educated – and then radicalized – young Muslim woman who is now serving an 86-year sentence for attempting to murder two FBI agents. She was caught in Afghanistan with planning a chemical attack in downtown Manhattan. The Cambridge Public Library hosted an event called “Free Sister Aafia.”The “Occupy Boston” crowd carried signs saying “Free Aafia and Tarek.”
While the far left openly salivates over anti-Western killers and would-be killers, the liberal leaders in Boston, working to blind us to the roots of these threats, work publicly with Islamic extremists who openly call for Mehanna and Siddiqui’s release. Ten years ago, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, who now eloquently accuses Rolling Stone of “reward[ing] a terrorist with celebrity treatment” rewarded the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) – the mosque attended by Mehanna, Siddiqui and the two Boston Marathon bombers – with a $2 million plot of city land (which he gave away for peanuts) for the building of a new $16 million, Saudi-funded mega-mosque. Just two years ago, “Menino’s mosque” (as The Boston Phoenix called it) hosted a pep rally for four convicted Muslim terrorists from around the country.
Shortly before that, Governor Deval Patrick – who has also condemned the Rolling Stone cover as being in poor taste – attended a high-profile event at the same mosque, where he literally embraced one of Boston’s most extremist imams, Abdullah Faaruuq. Faaruuq, who has made the cases of Mehanna and Siddiqui, causes célèbres among the Islamic Society of Boston worshippers. (Faaruuq was dismissed from his position as the Muslim chaplain at Northeastern University when this was revealed.) Even Henrietta Davis, the mayor of Cambridge – where the Marathon terrorists lived – is inadvertently supporting radicals. She headlined an event in support of the ISB, where she can be seen staring in dutiful rapture as the “moderate” spokesman from the mosque that the bombers prayed in – Anwar Kazmi – spouts platitudes about peace and justice after the bombing. She has not responded to reports that a year earlier, Kazmi was caught on film leading a Boston Common rally at which he called on Muslims and leftists to support Mehanna and Siddiqui.
Will Tsarnaev’s stylized visage become like Che’s, a global countercultural symbol of “rebellion,” an international insignia for the popculture leftists? State police Sgt. Sean Murphy might have thrown a monkey wrench into the leftist icon machine by releasing to the press an unglamorous set of photos of Tsarnaev taken as he was arrested, bruised and bloodied and in the unheroic pose of abject surrender.
Murphy, who was docked a day’s pay for his valiant service to Western civilization, gets our vote as the real “new man.” Maybe we should take up a collection; he certainly earned his keep that day. Stay tuned.

Homegrown Terrorism
Self-Radicalized American Incited Violent Jihad Online
07/16/13

Those who have met Emerson Begolly in person might describe him as a shy young man. But online, the 24-year-old was the complete opposite—he forcefully incited jihadist violence against Americans and Jews. And when FBI agents attempted to talk to him in 2011, he reached for a loaded handgun in his pocket and then bit the agents who disarmed him.

Map of PennsylvaniaToday, a federal judge sentenced Begolly to eight years and six months in prison for soliciting others to engage in acts of terrorism within the United States and for using a firearm in relation to an assault on FBI agents. Begolly pled guilty in August 2011 after being indicted less than a month earlier.

“This is a guy who definitely had the potential to hurt people,” said Special Agent Blake McGuire, who led part of the investigation from our Pittsburgh office. “He was a disaffected U.S. citizen who was susceptible to the message of violent extremism, and he became self-radicalized on the Internet. That type of offender—the so-called lone wolf—is extremely dangerous,” McGuire added, “because they can be difficult to discover before they resort to violence.”

Begolly came to the FBI’s attention in 2010 when he began posting violent material on an Islamic extremist Internet forum. Using the pseudonym Abu Nancy, the Pennsylvania resident and occasional college student solicited fellow jihadists to use firearms and explosives against American police stations, post offices, Jewish schools and daycare centers, military facilities, train lines, and water plants. He further urged his audience to “write their legacy in blood” and promised a special place in the afterlife for violent action in the name of Allah.

Members of the Bureau’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces in Pittsburgh and in Northern Virginia worked on the case with U.S. attorneys in both jurisdictions. “We all shared the same concern,” McGuire said, “that something might trigger this young man to carry out his own personal jihad.”

Begolly was under surveillance during the summer of 2010 when he legally purchased an assault weapon. Several months later, he escalated his online postings by soliciting jihadists to violence by posting a manual on how to manufacture a bomb.

Shortly after the bomb-making post, agents obtained search warrants for the homes of Begolly’s parents, where he often stayed. While the searches were being conducted, two other agents approached Begolly at a fast food restaurant near Pittsburgh to speak with him. That’s when he reached for the loaded handgun in his pocket. As the agents subdued him, he bit their fingers, trying to free himself and reach for his gun. His actions were consistent with a previous online post in which he urged jihadists not to be taken alive by law enforcement and to always carry a loaded firearm.

“When you combine troubling rhetoric that escalates with weapons, it poses a tremendous threat to public safety,” McGuire said. “Fortunately, we headed off any potential danger before it happened.”
