Nice Terror: First they came for the Jews - July 16, 2016

Israel, the target the world didn't care about, was a laboratory for Islamist terror.

As I write this the terrorist who used a truck to kill dozens in Nice, France has not been identified. Chances are he, or she, is the usual Muslim extremist. Even if that is not the case, the result is the same. It is fanatical Islam that has got the entire civilized world in retreat and it all began in Israel.

From one Palestinian Arab terrorist attack to another, going back decades, the “international community” kept telling the Israelis that they must not answer with force, but rather they must respond with appeasement. Go forth, said the UN and the US State Department and all Liberals in between – go reason with those people who have so many complaints.

Yet every peace gesture was met with more demands and more terror and the world refused to figure it out, that it has nothing to do with land, only to commit bloodshed for the sake of bloodshed. There is no reasoning with people who have grievances against EVERYBODY. There is no reasoning with savages.

The civilized world sat back comfortably thinking that the problem was Israel’s problem, so let the Jews worry.

But now the French are worried. The Germans are worried. The British are worried. The entire planet is worried upon one final realization:

That the problem was never about Israel, after all. Israel was merely a laboratory for Radical Islam.

Israel was where Radical Islam tested the world’s resolve, and by proving itself weak-kneed, passive and irresolute – today it’s Nice.

Before that it was nearly every other country on the map.

From the hands of Hamas or Fatah or Hezbollah or whatever they call themselves, they are Radical Muslims and over the years they murdered thousands of Israeli civilians by use of the gun, the knife, the suicide belt; any explosive would do, and now it’s the automobile.

Will Hollande be willing to divide France after what just happened? Has he figured out how to reason with savages?

Before Nice, where was this tested? It was tested in Israel. Radical Palestinian Arabs found the car to be the latest means to convey murder.

At the moment French President Hollande is addressing the nation and the world. He says something must be done about the borders.

Something must be done to keep the savages (my term) from coming in. (Trump’s message from the start.)

Yet it was this same French President who last week called for a summit that would bring Israel and the Palestinians Arabs to the “peace table.”

Is he calling for a peace summit with whoever came to Nice to mow down hundreds of celebrants?

Hollande and the rest of the EU (minus the UK) keep insisting on a two-state solution – for Israel and only Israel.

Will Hollande be willing to divide France after what just happened? Has he figured out how to reason with savages? 

Has Merkel who keeps bringing in more migrants – by the millions? Has Sweden’s Margot Wallstrom got the answer?

Has she even got a clue?

Does Obama have a clue as he opens the door to 10,000 more migrants, probably some of whom will be radicalized, but nearly all of whom will surely bring in their anti-Semitism? Have we forgotten everything from 9/11 to San Bernardino? Hillary sure has.

She wants 10 times more.

After 9/11 here and the Passover Massacre in Netanya (30 murdered), I traveled to Israel and then wrote a book (“The Bathsheba Deadline”) to warn that this is just a start. I warned that “The Koran has arrived and it has come to devour the Bible.” The book finally got published, but at first 14 publishers turned it down for being too “alarmist.”

“This is only about Israel,” they told me. “It’s got nothing to do with Europe or the rest of the world.”

Nice is in France, last time I checked.

DIVORCING ANGELA MERKEL - JULY 4, 2016

The UK' forty-year itch.

In an act of petulance that often happens after a split, European leaders, stung by the rebuff, warned the British people that they are on their own and to expect “no special favors.” That scolding, and more, came right after Britain voted itself out of the European Union.


Or, to put it bluntly, the British made it clear that they were divorcing Angela Merkel, Europe’s most powerful leader who used her power to boss around an entire continent, beginning with her insistence that nothing must stop the tsunami flow of migrants.


Millions kept coming, bringing with them a strange culture; people who can’t play well with others.



Abbas...received standing ovations for the kind of talk once heard by their parents in German and now spoken in Arabic by obnoxious Islamist brutes.
They came from such places as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia, mostly men, and if many of them were decent and upstanding, the rest brought with them different habits and the inability or the refusal to assimilate. They imported the intolerance of Sharia.


They came bearing anti-Semitism. Wherever they gathered, from one country to the next, the rape index zoomed.


Even if it’s only the few, that’s all it takes to ignite terror, as we saw just the other day in Turkey, or any day anywhere, certainly Israel – and it has become much too simple and convenient to frame all acts of Islamic barbarism into the catch-all term ISIS.


Murderous jihadists, like Mahmoud Abbas, come from a thousand different radicalized tribes and mosques. A few days ago in Kiryat Arba, a Palestinian Arab terrorist broke into a Jewish home and stabbed to death a 13-year-old girl sleeping in her bed. Days later a rabbinic leader and father of 10 was murdered, also by Radical Palestinian Arab Islamists.


Go, make peace with such savages who walk among us. Though, alas, many here in the U.S. are still gagging at the red carpet extended by the EU to blood-thirsty arch-terrorist Abbas, who received standing ovationsfor the kind of talk once heard by their parents in German and now spoken in Arabic by obnoxious Islamist brutes.


Eastern European countries began building walls to keep them out. Western European countries, taking instruction from the European Union headquartered in Brussels, were far too politically correct to even approach any such measure. Only Britain declared we’ve had enough, this has to stop.


The English were already chafing from the 40-year itch; tired of taking orders from other capitals at the expense of their thousand-year rule by independence.


Here is how the UK voted, according to the BBC:


England voted strongly for Brexit, by 53.4% to 46.6%, as did Wales, with “Leave” getting 52.5% of the vote and “Remain” 47.5%. Scotland and Northern Ireland both backed staying in the EU. Scotland backed “Remain” by 62% to 38%, while 55.8% in Northern Ireland voted “Remain” and 44.2% “Leave.”


So while certainly not unanimous, the majority announced themselves tired of being pushed around, namely by Angela Merkel.


This was a protest against the German chancellor (and perhaps it’s time to drop that title) who still does not get it!


The influx began with her. She extended the invitation. She remains stubborn and defiant and blind to the migrant chaos she has provoked.


The New York Times has her blaming immigration for the split, but as she sees it, the fault is not hers.


The fault goes to people who fail to love her for opening Europe to the multitudes who have no knowledge or respect for Judeo/Christian values.


That’s her logic. That’s her story and she is sticking to it no matter the cost.


The British returned the defiance by proclaiming themselves free from Merkel-style globalism.


“We want our country back.” That was their battle cry.


That mirrors Donald Trump’s message here in America. We also want our country back. Why is that a problem?
