American Muslims for Palestine advocates for immediate cease-fire

Mariam el-Khatib was the first interview Friday night on Almanac. el-Khatib is part of an organization called American Muslims for Palestine. She was brought on to talk about the Israeli-Palestinian war over Gaza. The first point she made was to call for an immediate cease-fire. When asked about that, Khatib said that was a solid starting point, signaling that they wanted more than that.

Khatib then said "the bare minimum we're asking for is we just want to stop seeing people die, stop seeing kids being pulled from the rubble, parents burying their own children so our first focus is to call for a cease-fire."

Later, Khatib said "I have another friend whose family was in the hospital that was attacked." That's been debunked. The Hospital wasn't attacked. Further, the Hospital wasn't hit. A rocket launched by Palestinian Islamic Jihad launched the missile with the intent of hitting a target Israel. The missile wasn't intended to hit inside Gaza. Unfortunately, that's what happened. Here's proof:

Here's the video of the interview:

Approximately 3 minutes into the interview, Khatib said "at this point, you just have to be human to want to see the violence end." That means that I'm not human because I don't want to see the violence end. I want to see Hamas exterminated.

Later, Khatib said "Israel's defense minister referred to Palestinians as 'human animals." Actually, he described Hamas as human animals. All Hamas terrorists are Palestinians. Only a percentage of Palestinians are Hamas terrorists.

Khatib said that "calling for a cease-fire is the bare minimum" saying that they don't want any more children getting killed. That takes chutzpah since it was Hamas that chopped off the heads of 40 children. As for a cease-fire, that's off the table. The 2-State Solution should be off the table, too, because Hamas doesn't want to be Israel's neighbor. Hamas wants the Jewish people entirely exterminated. It says that in their charter.

Hamas started this war by attacking innocent Jewish people living in kibbutzes on the day of one of Israel's feast days -- Yom Kippur. Now they want Israel to stop their attack before fixing the problem? I don't think so. Let Israel defend itself.

In his speech Thursday night, Biden got something right when he said "history has taught us that when terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictators don’t pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction. They keep going, and the cost and the threats to America and to the world keep rising." A cease-fire at this point doesn't impose a cost on Hamas, which means they can continue with their brutality campaign. We've traveled that road enough. It's time to end that cycle.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
