POSTERS OF KIDNAPPED ISRAELI KIDS ARE TRAUMATIZING HAMAS SUPPORTERS
On city streets and on campuses across the country, posters of kidnapped Jewish families, women and children are being torn down by Hamas supporters. Why are they doing it?
Students for Justice in Palestine at Drew University issued a statement claiming that the posters of abducted children “use triggering and insensitive language” and “delegitimize the need for Palestinian resistance”.
Drew’s SJP chapter had responded to the Hamas massacres, rapes and kidnappings by hailing them as “an act of resistance” against the “Zionist Imperialist Territories” and defending the atrocities by arguing that “every Israeli civilian has served, is serving, or will serve in the Israeli Defense Forces” so that “all Israelis citizens are inherently complicit in the occupation of Palestine”. That presumably includes the Jewish babies and children murdered by Hamas: including Noya Dan, a 12-year-old autistic girl, killed along with her 80-year-old grandmother.
That’s nothing less than a defense for the extermination of the Jews by a campus organization.

Report: Biden Demands Gun Control for Israeli Citizens
Anew report alleges that the Biden Administration refused to sell American weapons to Israel unless the country provided a guarantee that the firearms would not be given to civilians.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Israel requested M-16 rifles from the United States government, as the country continues to fight a war with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, which started with a massive series of terrorist attacks on October 7th that killed over 1,400 Israeli citizens. However, White House officials forced Israel to agree to the terms that the guns would not be given to civilian outposts located in the West Bank.
The weapons sale was seen as crucial for Israel, as its military focuses almost entirely on the Gaza Strip, thus leaving other areas like the West Bank relatively unguarded, with civilians in those areas forced to train and equip themselves.

Romney Tries Shame Republican Senators for Voting Against Gun Control Bill
Mitt Romney is not only leaving the Senate, but burning bridges behind him as he goes. In a new biography of the Utah senator, Romney calls out several of his Republican colleagues for not voting for last year’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which was hailed by anti-gun media as the first major piece of gun control legislation to be signed into law in 30 years.
Mediaite has published an excerpt from McKay Coppins’ new tome featuring Romney’s complaints about his fellow senators, in which he called out Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson and Utah’s Mike Lee for allegedly putting politics ahead of his favored policy, with Johson allegedly calling the bill a “lose-lose” and Lee fretting about having to cast a “bad vote” in a tight re-election race.
Romney was also quoted as saying: “I have come to recognize that the overwhelming consideration in how people vote is whether it will help or hurt their reelection prospects. … Amazing that a democracy can function like this.”

The Focus is on the State Elections, but the Battle for our Kids Souls is at the School Board Level
While the various elections yesterday were focused on the “big ones” – elections of various state House, Senate and Governors races, it is the small town school boards that deserve our attention. The battle for the soul of our children is taking place. In Lancaster County Pennsylvania, the outcome could not be more telling of the state of our moral decline. Add the major issue of home schooling which requires local school board to support each student’s home schooling to the tune of $9,000. per year and you reach a flash point.
Is hard core pornography to continue being allowed in the libraries? The choice could not be more clear.
The material in question isn’t simply “if you see it you will know what it is.” No, that is too simple. What there is are detailed descriptions of perverse sex acts, with suggestions of performance that are enough to make one sick. I have seen it. This is not just about literature or a book, but rather information entitled Sex Education.
The Democrats are running their slate of five ….. the GOP theirs. The GOP want the books gone. The Dems are accusing the GOP of being the usual Nazis at the ready to burn books. Lost in the shuffle is this is not simply “Sally has two Mothers.” But that is how the argument is being portrayed.
Worse the PA headlines read:
Transgender rights, book banning hot topics in Lancaster County school board races…

In Which Trudy Rubin Tells Us That She Doesn’t Understand WarIn calling for a ceasefire, the left are telling us that they want Hamas to win
We have previously mentioned Trudy Rubin, the Philadelphia Inquirer’s columnist who, according to her bio, “tries to make sense of the world’s chaos and conflicts as they affect Americans at home.” Alas! If she is trying to “make sense” of chaos and conflicts, perhaps it would help if she actually understood what war really means.
Miss Rubin is the newspaper’s resident neoconservative, at least when it comes to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Right up until Hamas attack on Israel, her author page is filled with Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, including such wonderful pieces as:
- In tying government shutdown to cutting aid for Ukraine, MAGA Republicans put America last October 1, 2023
- Zelensky’s words on U.S. visit laid out why Ukraine’s fight is ours September 24, 2023
- Even on vacation, there’s no escaping Vladimir Putin’s murderous intentions September 6, 2023
That’s just a small, small sample. Miss Rubin wants Ukraine to fight, fight, fight, against the invading Russians, and for the United States to continue, and increase, military aid to that country, even though that war appears to have ground to a stalemate.
But in the Middle East?
Palestinian civilians are suffering at the hands of Israel and Hamas
Biden should press for a “humanitarian pause” in bombing to get more aid into Gaza, along with safe passage to genuine “no bomb zones” so civilians can find safety.
