Ever since the college protest marches in the Spring of 24, I have been disdainfully watchful. The recent reporting of a quote, carried forth by Guy Benson, has overridden any tolerance that I have left:

"Hamas supporters are not only burning American flags in our streets. they are now burning Americans in our streets.".

The Boulder perpetrator entered the United States in August 2022. His permission to be here has expired. He is here illegally. Once again thank you. Biden administration. "About 30 minutes later in nearby Denver, there was a "private reception" with Omar, who has been a major critic of Israel, with many other Democrats listed as the hosts. Ticket prices ranged from $500 to $7,000.", foxnews.com.

Hamas is supported by Iran. in Iran children are taught that the most assured way to heaven is to become a martyr. In Iran, children are taught to hate Jews. in Iran, children are taught to kill non believers; Jews and Christians top the list. Not only is the state of Israel to be wiped off the map - for they are the little Satan. The United States is the big Satan; they want to kill us. In Iran, children are taught that when they are in jihad - and they confront a non-believer - the non-believer has three choices: to join with them, to pay a heavy fine and become as a slave, or death. They are also taught that it's not permissible to lie to anyone of their faith but that it's OK to lie to anyone in the furtherance of their faith. Craig Winn has authored more than 1 book, that is heavily documented, on these points.

Hamas supporters are well aware of our Christian ethics. Just as in jujitsu, where an opponent's strength is used against them, they use our values against us in their news releases - or if you will, propaganda. Starving children in Gaza become martyrs. Those in power in Gaza have no empathy for children. A BBC headline yesterday: "At least 27 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire near aid centre, Gaza authorities say". First notice the narrative is by Gaza authorities. Second, it uses British empathy to cast aspersion on Israelis. Third, if it is a lie, that's OK.

Aspersions? The Jewish Anti Defamation League has kept track. During the four trump years, 2017 to 2020, attacks had hovered around 2000 per year. During the last two years of the Biden administration, attacks were nearly 8900. and 9400, ADL. This problem has been ramping up.

In an article in the New York Times by David Sanger on Saturday, the headline said, "Iran Has Ramped Up Uranium Enrichment While Continuing Nuclear Talks". The Director General of the IAEA, Raphael M Grossi, wrote that, "The significantly increased production and accumulation of highly enriched uranium by Iran, the only non nuclear weapons state to produce such nuclear material is of serious concern." Considering Iranian values. put me in the column of 'no BOMB for Iran'. They must never have it.

I have 10 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. I worry about their future. In the past five years, I've noticed a marked propensity towards violence. I even recall a vice president candidate who commented on the 2020 protest riots. “They're not going to stop” “This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop and everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop." Violence acceptable. If violence on Jews can be tolerated, there will be future violence on others. More violence begets more violence.
