Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) brushed off Iran’s direct attack on Israel last weekend as “fake” during a tense House Democrat Conference meeting Thursday morning, a Capitol Hill source familiar with the matter told The Post.
Waters, 85, disparaged Israel during her remarks and said the Jewish state had no need to “retaliate” for what she called “a fake attack from Iran,” the source said.
“I will go and take him out tonight.” Attempted Murder is the Charge. She tries to laugh it back, by saying that she is not talking about physical violence. Bullshit to that! WORDS MATTER.
In the past she has provoked the New York City individual to go on a shooting rampage back in April 2022. Her talk incited him and others to shoot and kill innocent victims all over America. This has got to stop, people like her have a responsibility to preach peace, not violence. She has continued her rabble rousing for decades.
Newt Gingrich called the Palestinians an “invented” people.
Hamas is supported almost entirely by Iran. This is a war on ideology-religion; the takeover of Gaza by Hamas is proof enough. The land of Israel was never conquered from the Palestinian people, for they never existed. A religious war that burns in the minds of radical Islamists. A defeat they suffered is a scar on their brains which will never go away.
Their view of Sharia law prohibits them from forgetting the defeat they suffered. Hamas, being inflicted with the imam diatribe that Jews have dirtied the holy places of Islam. The only way to stop this corrupt disease is to go into Rafah and kill the head of the Octopus.
From a letter to the Editor of the Wall Street Journal published December 30, 2017.
“If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.”These words in Psalm 137: 5-6 written long before the birth of Muhammad, attest to the reality that Jerusalem has been Israel’s capital for millennia. I did not vote for President Trump, but I applauded his willingness to put his money where past presidents have only put their mouths in relations to Jerusalem.

To quote Mark Twain, who visited Israel in 1880, He described what he saw in three words, “Palestine is desolate.” The Holy Land was occupied by the Ottoman Turks in the 1800’s; they settled Turks in Palestine to farm and strip the forests for Turkish export. From 1840 to 1920 the Turks brought in 506,000 Arabs. In 1920 The British Mandate approved by the League of Nations in 1922 opened the floodgates to more foreigners. The British allowed 36,000 Syrians to enter the land in 1934. From 1924-1947 the British secretly brought in 440,000 Arabs from Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Iraq. During the Holocaust, the British smuggled in 200,000 more Arabs.
Let’s get this straight, Israel pulled out of Gaza twenty years ago. Since then it has turned into a hotbed of Jew Hating – Israeli Hating thugs. What these guys have done is harass civilians under their control. They hide in peoples homes, built tunnels under hospitals, controlled imports from Egypt, directing supplies meant for civilian use to help them build underground infrastructure; plus they have built a massive arms inventory with the help of Iran. So, how is Israel at fault? STRAIGHT OUT, ERDOGAN IS A PISLIK.
Columbia University president grilled about campus antisemitism at congressional hearing
Nemat “Minouche” Shafik is the latest Ivy League president to testify about antisemitism on campus before the Committee on Education and the Workforce.
Columbia University’s president strongly denounced antisemitism during a congressional hearing Wednesday, saying that after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, “the world changed, and so did my focus.”
Earlier, Shafik – trying to straddle between condemning antisemitism and permitting statements that some defined as free speech – struggled when confronted by Lisa McClain, the Republican representative from Michigan over the slogan “from the river to the sea” and support for a Palestinian intifada (uprising).
“Are mobs shouting from the River to the Sea Palestine will be free or long live the infitada [sic] …antisemitic comments?” McClain asked.
“When I hear those terms, I find them very upsetting,” Shafik responded.
“That’s a great answer to a question I didn’t ask, so let me repeat the question,” McClain persisted. Shafik answered: “I hear them as such. Some people don’t.”
“Why is it so tough?” McClain pressed. In answer, Shafik said: “Because it’s a difficult issue because some hear it as antisemitic others do not.”
She eventually appeared to fold under pressure, answering “yes” and laughing nervously after McClain posed the same question to the president’s fellow Columbia staff, all of whom agreed that it was antisemitic.
“Antisemitism has no place on our campus, and I am personally committed to doing everything I can to confront it directly,” President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik told the Republican-led House Committee on Education and the Workforce. “Israel was brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists and very soon it became clear that these horrific events would ignite fear and anguish across our campus.”
Shafik faced questions about her handling of antisemitism on campus after the Oct. 7 attack alongside two members of Columbia’s Board of Trustees and the head of the university’s antisemitism task force. She faced particular scrutiny for how the university handled faculty members who made comments about Hamas that were perceived as antisemitic.
Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., grilled Shafik about Joseph Massad, a tenured professor in Columbia’s Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies department who published comments in October calling Hamas’ attack a “stunning victory.”
“I do condemn his statement. I am appalled by what he said,” Shafik responded. “He has been spoken to.”
The hearing became particularly heated when Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., pressed Shafik about why Massad is still listed on Columbia’s website as the chair of the academic review committee.
Stefanik asked Shafik for her commitment that Massad would be removed as chair, and Shafik said she would get back to her.
Stefanik also questioned Shafik about Mohamed Abdou, a visiting professor at the Middle East Institute at Columbia. She referred to an Oct. 11 post on Facebook in which Abdou wrote, “Yes, I’m with the muqawamah (the resistance) be it Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad but up to a point.”
When asked about consequences, Shafik said Abdou “will never work at Columbia again.”
Joseph Massad, a professor of modern Arab politics and history, has faced widespread calls to be fired ever since he referred to the Oct. 7 attack inflicted by Hamas terrorists as “awesome.”
Mohamed Abdou, a visiting Columbia scholar, controversially declared on social media, “Yes, I’m with Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.”
Abdou was brought on as a visiting Columbia scholar for the spring 2024 semester and teaches a weekly class on “Decolonial-Queerness & Abolition.”
The bio on Columbia’s website describes Abdou as “a North African-Egyptian Muslim anarchist interdisciplinary activist-scholar of Indigenous, Black, critical race and Islamic studies, as well as gender, sexuality, abolition and decolonization.”
Just days after the Oct. 7 attack, Abdou controversially declared on social media, “Yes, I’m with Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.”
Katherine Franke, a law professor and activist, recently penned an op-ed in The Nation criticizing Columbia, in part, for threatening academic freedom and “waging war on dissent.”Columbia University
She was brought up during Wednesday’s hearing by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) for controversially saying, “All Israeli students who served in the I.D.F. [Israel Defense Forces] are dangerous and shouldn’t be on campus.”
It wasn’t immediately clear, though, where Franke made the remark.
Franke also recently penned an op-ed in The Nation criticizing Columbia, in part, for threatening academic freedom and “waging war on dissent.”
“The university is under pressure to root out any students or faculty critical of Israel — and it’s already caved,” the law professor wrote.
Hamid Dabashi, a professor of Iranian studies, has come under fire in recent years for a slew of controversial social media posts.Hamid Dabashi/X
Dabashi is aprofessor of Iranian studies and comparative literature at the Ivy League school. He is also the current director of undergrad studies within the MESAAS department, per his faculty bio.
He’s come under fire in recent years for a slew of controversial social media posts, including a since-deleted one in which he blamed Israel for every “dirty” problem in the world.
“Every dirty treacherous ugly and pernicious happening in the world just wait for a few days and the ugly name ‘Israel’ will pop up in the atrocities,” Dabashi wrote in the 2018 Facebook post, cited by the Jewish Journal.
His remark was in response to a New York Times article that accused Israeli intelligence of gathering dirt on President Barack Obama’s then-national security aide.
In a separate post, Dabashi also allegedly bashed Zionists as “hyenas” – sparking calls from a pro-Israel student group for the professor to be rebuked.

Lindsey Graham says DHS told him Laken Riley’s alleged murderer was paroled into US illegally
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., posted to social media that the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to him that Laken Riley’s alleged murderer was paroled into the U.S. illegally because the Central Processing Center in El Paso, Texas, was capped.
Jose Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, has been charged in the murder of Riley. The 22-year-old Augusta University nursing school student was killed Feb. 22, while jogging at the University of Georgia in Athens.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed with Fox News Digital previously that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered Ibarra Sept. 8, 2022, and he was “paroled and released for further processing.”
Veteran NPR editor Uri Berliner detailed his employer’s “absence of viewpoint diversity”last week in a stunning rebuke of the news organization, and a former high-level NPR executive feels a “real problem” was identified in the scathing piece.
“I’m not surprised because he’s a very thoughtful and forthright guy,” a former high-level NPR executive who worked with Berliner told Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity.
Berliner penned a bombshell piece in the Free Press that criticized NPR’s coverage of Russiagate, the COVID lab leak theory, Hunter Biden’s scandalous laptop, embrace of the theory of systemic racism and accused the organization of downplaying antisemitism following Oct. 7.
He also wrote that registration records in 2021 showed an astonishing disparity between Democrats and Republicans in the NPR newsroom and said staffers didn’t want to help former President Trump, among other things, to indicate an “open-minded spirit no longer exists” at NPR.
The Brain Trust has huddled down contemplating the response, this is not 1948 all over again, this is more than life, this is survival. Israelis cannot go to bed at night wondering when the next missile will hit. Rafah is next on the agenda, the only thing holding them back is Biden, but this is surmountable. Iran is no such case.
This is no way similar to the 1967 wipeout of the Egyptian Airforce, today is much different, the stakes are higher. Israel has no choice; Iran has weapons of tomorrow which are one step away from of production. They have gone nuclear. And the damage they will inflict is beyond anyone’s imagination. Before this takes place Israel has to be proactive because it is now or never.
Thank Obama, the Jew Hater for this. He willingly licked Iran’s donkey. Gave Israel the finger when they relied on his support at the U.N. First time time in history for the U.S. to shoot Israel in the back.
Now we have Branden pressuring Israel, but don’t forget Branden willingly gave Iran $6 billion which they are using to spread Jihad the world over. While the brain trust huddles, time is not on Israel’s side. They must act now, tomorrow will be too late.
