The Controversies at LifeSiteNews

John Henry-Westen, the CEO and Editor-in-Chief of LifeSiteNews, was recently removed from his position by the LifeSiteNews board. Then he got reinstated.

These moves caught much of the pro-life, pro-family, religious conservative world off guard. That’s saying a great deal, considering that pro-life and pro-family conservatives have seen all kinds of moral decline and degradation becoming the norm throughout the West. Pro-family fighters have witnessed same-sex “marriage,” rising defenses for pedophilia, and the increased push for assisted suicide. So little shocks us now.

What’s going on here? Should we be concerned? Why is one of the flagship pro-family (and anti-LGBT) news sites facing such leadership turmoil?

First, let’s talk about LifeSiteNews.

This Catholic-based news site has rigorously and accurately documented the downfall and decline of a De-Christianized West. For years, their commentary and confrontation on these matters commanded respect. They even republished the activist reporting from the organization I work for—MassResistance—because of our unwavering commitment against the LGBT agenda in all of its perverse forms.

LifeSiteNews did not back away from calling out moral corruption. To their credit, they were not only unafraid to call out the wrongs and evils of homosexuality and transgenderism. They were a welcome voice for social conservatives like me because they unflinchingly criticized the Republican Party, including President Trump, as they cozied up to so-called LGBT “conservatives” infiltrating the larger conservative movement. Their countercultural attack on mainstream conservatism gave me hope in spite of the growing fecklessness or cowardice of conservative leadership to oppose same-sex “marriage”, adoption, and the like.

So, what’s going on at LifeSiteNews? Is the leadership getting soft, embracing pro-“gay” messaging? Not a chance.

Rather, the news site has taken a dark turn on another set of issues.

For the last two years, I noticed the site’s publishing an increasing number of anti-Israel, anti-Zionist articles on many policy fronts. They were cataloguing the so-called war crimes of the IDF and blasting American politicians and foreign policy makers as puppets of Israel.

Here’s a sample:

Orthodox rabbi: Zionism a ‘cardinal sin’ for Jews, creation of Israel is ‘satanic’

Zionism: Rebellion against God?! | Rabbi speaks out

Why is a Catholic-oriented news site interviewing a Rabbi? And why are they going off on Israel and Zionism?

Oh, and it gets better (or rather, worse). They talk about the horrendous “Israel Lobby” that supposedly controls Washington:

GOP Congressman Thomas Massie exposes Zionist lobby’s power over Congress

Leaked audio exposes Israel lobby’s enormous power over the Trump administration

WATCH: Candace Owens exposes the Israel lobby’s stranglehold on America

For what it’s worth, Candace Owens has been exposed as an intellectual lightweight with a shaky grasp of the facts. She celebrated Andrew Tate, a serial pornographer under indictment for sex trafficking, while denouncing pornography. She also claimed that Hitler was not that bad.

Regarding the purported power of AIPAC, most of their funding goes to Democrats, and the Democratic Party has become increasingly hostile to Israel. As for Congressman  Massie, his performance theater against big spending is starting to wear thin. He never called out the big spending from his fellow US Senators, and he voted for liberal Republican Tom Emmer to be the next Speaker of the House this year. The focus and subject matter of these reports leave much to be desired.

And sadly, LifeSiteNews has thrown itself into the USS Liberty conspiracy. (I refute those talking points here.)

In 2023, Patrick Delaney, one of the editors at LifeSiteNews, wrote, “Orthodox patriarchate condemns ‘Israeli radicals’ for attacking bishop, priest at Church of Gethsemane.”

Yes, there are Jewish radicals, as there are radicals in other religions. What is conspicuously missing from this coverage, however, is the widespread denunciation from other Jews against such abuses. In contrast, Islamic militants have committed all sorts of crimes and terrorism against innocents—Christian, Jew, Muslim—and there is no condemnation from residents in Gaza or Judea and Samaria of their hostilities.

For the record, the Israeli government has cracked down on hyper-orthodox adherents harassing Christians, and local Rabbis raised funds to help repair a Catholic church attacked by Jewish radicals, too.

In 2024, Delaney wrote a particularly egregious article, claiming that Israel was conducting a “genocide” against the residents of Gaza following the October 7^th, 2023 terrorist attack from Hamas:

Israeli soldiers celebrate the ‘torturing, humiliating, and mocking’ of Palestinians on social media

I refused to remain quiet in the face of these blatant lies. I wrote an extensive response email (republished here), refuting the libelous claims about Israel and American foreign policy vis-à-vis the Jewish State. I focused on the redefinition of “genocide.” I also pointed out that his using “Al-Jazeera” as a legitimate news source is suspect.

Delaney responded, and he provided a broad mixture of half-truths and misdefinitions to justify his dishonest arguments.

LifeSiteNews eventually printed my letter, along with Delaney’s response (InfoWars republished the article, too!), but referred to me as “William” and called me a “Christian Zionist journalist,” presumably as a smear. I wear such terms as a badge of honor. The most damning aspect of Delaney’s defense of calling Israel’s attacks on Hamas “genocide” rested on his contortion of the term to include any form of fighting in a combat zone!

With all of this information in the background, let’s get to the firing and rehiring (?) of John Henry-Westen.

LifeSiteNews Co-Founder and Managing Editor Steve Jalsevac released a statement regarding Westen’s departure:

While legal constraints prevent us from delving into extensive detail, I can share that the decision was influenced by several factors, including a 72% drop in readership from 2021 to 2024 during John-Henry’s tenure as CEO, a decline in monthly and new donors, and other business challenges. Additionally, an internal survey revealed significant concerns regarding staff sentiment and safety scores, which further informed the board’s considerations.

 

Nonprofits have to keep the money flowing, but should stick to their principles. A steep drop-off of nearly three-quarters of your readership is troubling.

I can guess why LifeSiteNews is losing readers and donors:

The Pro-Hamas, Anti-Israel Propaganda!

Truth matters in the fight against moral and sexual degradation. When a Catholic-based news site insists on pushing pro-terrorist propaganda, venturing into foreign policy conspiracy theories, they are embracing lies, one can expect that their once-faithful readership will be repulsed.

And now, we receive word that John Henry-Westen has been reinstated.

Surprisingly, the site issued a very short reinstatement statement:

The LifeSiteNews Board of Directors voted today to restore John-Henry Westen to his former position.

 

“John-Henry Westen has been recognized by the board as the President and CEO of lifesitenews.com Inc. subject to administrative review and investigation.”

C.J. Doyle of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts issued the following analysis:

"This is likely the only time in the history of corporate governance that a statement restoring a CEO showed even less cordiality than the statement which announced his firing.

The brevity, timing and language of the announcement all suggest a profound reluctance, or even resentment, on the part of those who issued it.

It was released at 5:47 EDT on a Friday afternoon, a time best suited to minimize publicity on a story that a corporation or a government agency wishes to bury.

The use of the word 'recognized', rather than the more usual 're-appointed' is curious. It might suggest that the previous vote was somehow improper or legally defective.

The inclusion of the phrase 'subject to administrative review and investigation' suggests continued hostility towards Westen by the Board of Directors.

There is also a striking omission. There is no mention of Westen being restored as Editor-in-Chief of LifeSiteNews, a position specifically referenced in his termination announcement.”

LifeSiteNews is losing readers, then they bungled the removal of the CEO. C.J. Doyle’s analysis makes sense. Potential litigation often scares organizations into a quick, unexplained course correction.

But did the board fire Westen because of the website’s increasing embrace of anti-Zionist propaganda? One of the frequent commentators on the site, Peter LaBarbera, shared with me that Westen was not removed because of the anti-Zionist turn in reporting: “It wasn’t about the Israel bashers. They’re still there!” He encouraged me to reach out to one of their main contributors, who privately shared his criticism of the anti-Zionism turn in reporting, but that writer has not gotten back to me yet.

If the LifeSiteNews board of directors can’t see how their dishonest reporting on the Arab-Israeli conflict is affecting readers, then they should be fired!

If LifeSiteNews editors want to maintain life on their site to report the news, they need to get back to reporting … news! All the anti-Zionist propaganda, I submit, is the real turn-off, turning off the donations and views.

The larger question remains: why publish such anti-Israeli (and thus anti-Semitic) garbage? One suspects that the site, based in Canada, is trying to placate an increasing Muslim population. Perhaps they are buying into the engagement harvesting that comes with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Whatever the reason, they need a major course-correction if they want to survive.

"Palestinian" is a Mental Illness

Mosab Yousef is an international treasure.

A former Muslim, a former Islamic militant, the son of the Founder of Hamas, Yousef is a Christian who has fled jihad since he was a youth.

He has stood for truth in every instance, standing up to every pro-"Palestinian" militant.

There's a boldness in his assertions, unswayed by the arrogant ignorance of the pro-terrorist Left, which celebrates the destruction of innocents (and innocence) to justify their lack of meaning, purpose, or heart.

For the last six months, I have begun to compare the Wokeness movement with the Palestinian movement.

There is a broad obsession with feelings, identity politics, and conspiracy theories. There is no interest in truth.

Furthermore, what is a "Palestinian"? There is no real border, or language, or culture. It is an astroturf movement created by an Islamic Egyptian pedophile named Yasser Arafat!

That is all!

There is no such thing as a modern "Palestine," since Mandatory Palestine turned into Israel in 1948.

In fact, "Palestinian" is a mental illness, another iteration of the Woke mind virus which is eating up the Western World:

"Palestinian" is a severe mental illness based on victimhood, sufferers are dependent on unrealistic expectations from other hard-working people. Their entitlement to a utopia they call "Palestine" can't be satisfied.
"Palestinians" want a free "Paradise," and if others don't…

— Mosab Hassan Yousef (@MosabHasanYOSEF) October 27, 2024

It's time to tell the truth: No Such Thing as Palestinian.

The whole "Palestinian" cause is a mental illness, one based on feelings, identity politics, and conspiracy theories.

The whole "Palestinian" cause is a falsehood. It's a mental sickness which has afflicted refugees and their children in the West Bank and Gaza.

The whole "Palestinian" cause is a fraud, a mental illness based on self-righteousness and fear.

No Such Thing as Palestine: What PLO Activism in the USA is Really All About

 

The Goal of Palestinianism What the supposed quest for Palestinian statehood and social justice is really about. By Richard L. Cravatts Originally published at Frontpagemag.com A recent survey conducted by Alums for Campus Fairness, “A Growing Threat: Antisemitism on College Campuses,” asked some 500 Jewish-affiliated college students and recent alumni what their perceptions were regarding campus anti-Semitism. The findings of the survey were troubling, given that: “Nearly 100% of respondents said antisemitism is/was a problem on their campus,” “95% of respondents identified antisemitism as a problem on U.S. college campuses, with three out of four describing it as a ‘very serious problem,’” almost “half of current students say antisemitism is getting worse on their campus,” and “69% of students and grads say they have avoided certain places, events, or situations at school because they are Jewish.” Anyone familiar with current state of affairs on university campuses knows that the root of much of this animus towards Jewish students is the ongoing university campaign against Israel and Zionism, and that Jewish students, whether they even support the Jewish state or not, regularly find themselves the target of derision, bigotry, and condemnation simply because they are Jewish. In fact, research has demonstrated quite clearly that agitation against Israel—including the toxic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign—by such corrosive student activists as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) increase both the frequency and intensity of anti-Semitic speech and expression. A 2019 report by The AMCHA Initiative, a campus anti-Semitism watchdog organization, for example, revealed that “BDS’s mandate to boycott or suppress programs, collaborations, events, or expression that promote ‘the normalization of Israel in the global academy,’ as well as the academic BDS-compliant ‘common sense’ mandate to criticize, protest and boycott individuals who are deemed complicit with or supportive of Israel’s alleged crimes, appear to greatly encourage antisemitic behavior.” An earlier AMCHA report had found similar connections between anti-Israel activism and the presence of anti-Semitism on those campuses with SJP chapters. That report concluded, shockingly, that the “presence of one or more anti-Zionist student groups is very strongly correlated with the overall number of antisemitic incidents. 99% of the schools with one or more active anti-Zionist student group had one or more incidents of antisemitic activity, whereas only 16% of schools with no active anti-Zionist student group had incidents of antisemitic activity.” Campuses with SJP or other anti-Zionist student groups, the report found, were “very strongly associated with the occurrence of antisemitic expression. 91% of the schools with one or more active anti-Zionist group showed evidence of antisemitic expression, whereas only 16% of schools with no active anti-Zionist student group showed evidence of antisemitic expression.” SJP and other student groups, along with their faculty sponsors, are the foot soldiers in the worldwide campaign of Palestinianism, but the ideology which animates the Palestinian cause is evident not only in the ivy walls of academia, but also in the UN, NGOs, the State Department, the Arab street, and in parliaments and congresses where the chattering classes purport to be committed to Arab self-determination and seem to have no issue with sacrificing, if necessary, the Middle East’s sole democracy as part of that effort. Central to this propaganda campaign to enshrine Palestinianism—in which the suffering of the Palestinian has finally trumped the historic suffering and dispossession of the Jews—is the wholesale, deliberate appropriation of the language and symbols of the Jews by the foes who wish to eradicate, not only the Jewish past, but the very existence of the Jewish state. Thus, the actual genocide of European Jewry during the Holocaust is either minimized or denied by the Arab world at the same time that Israel is denounced for committing a new “holocaust” against the Palestinians through ethnic cleansing, military barbarism, and war crimes. Palestinians regularly refer to themselves as being dispersed in a Diaspora, what they call their own “Nakba,” a catastrophe, just as Jews had traditionally spoken of their own scattering from their homeland after the destruction of the Second Temple. While Arab aggression and homicidal impulses against Jews have been unrelenting—before and since the creation of Israel—Palestinianism has been successful in casting the Arab Palestinians as the perennial victim of Jewish supremacism, even though the irredentist aims of the Islamists to establish a Muslim-only state in historic Palestine is the very form of self-determination that is repeatedly decried on the part of Israel for being racist, inhumane, internationally criminal, and morally unacceptable. The West’s wide embrace of Palestinianism has been led, for the most part, by the intellectual elites, whose own biases against Israel and the United States serve to animate, and widely promote, the campaign to vilify, defame, and delegitimize Israel. While the ideological antics of anti-Israel student groups are the most visible aspects of the hate-Israel agenda, this acting out and shrill rhetoric from students would be inconsequential were it not for the full intellectual and moral support this movement enjoys from faculty members―those with the prestige and academic muscle to lend credibility and influence to the war of ideas against the Jewish state. The liberal slant of university faculties has made it inevitable that many college professors question the integrity of Zionism, if not forthrightly denounce the very existence of Israel as a moral stain on the world that oppresses Arabs and tars the United States as an accomplice in this perceived unjustified colonial, militaristic oppression. The self-righteous professors who perpetually denounce Israel, though, may or may not have a great moral commitment to the Palestinians at all. In fact, that is often incidental to their primary objective: not to actually assist the Palestinian self-determination with constructive, tactical advice and support—which has always been sorely, and visibly, lacking—but to weaken support for Israel with the ultimate intention, shared by Israel’s jihadist foes, of eventually eliminating it altogether. The phony rectitude which they use to insulate themselves from critique comforts those who would otherwise see the fundamental moral cruelty of their assaults of Israel. And they are also craven in their self-righteousness for taking such a strident stance against Israel, a point of view and a philosophical approach that requires no courage in the Jew-hating West. Of course, virtue-signaling one’s commitment to the oppressed is rampant among the campus Leftists, many of whom feel that, because they seek social justice for the Palestinians and are attempting to strike down what they define as the new Israeli version of apartheid, anything they say or do to delegitimize Israel is acceptable, even necessary. Thus, they hector Israel to mend its political ways not only to end Palestinian suffering, but also, they allege, for the good of both Israelis and Diaspora Jews. These fatuous professors (and their complicit students), who never have had to face any physical threat more serious than being bumped while waiting in line for a latte at Starbucks, are very willing to scold Israel when it defends itself from unceasing rocket attacks from Gaza meant to murder Israeli civilians. These same professors, many of the vilest critics of whom are from departments of humanities, literature, anthropology, history, and sociology, are, without any expertise in military affairs, eager to advise Israeli officials on the rules of war and denounce the lack of “proportionality” in Israel’s attempts to defend its population from jihadist murderers. And so eager are they to publicly assert their righteousness as defenders of the Palestinian cause, they embrace and “eroticize” terroristic violence and willingly align themselves with Israel’s deadly foes who seek its annihilation, catering, as essayist David Solway lyrically put it, “to the ammoniac hatred of the current brood of crypto-antisemites [sic] posing as anti-Zionists.” This cultural condescension, the disingenuous lie from the Left that all cultures are equal, but some are more or less equal, to paraphrase Orwell, leads liberals into the moral trap where they denounce Israel’s military self-defense as being barbaric, criminal, and Nazi-like (because Israel is a powerful, democratic nation) and regularly excuse or apologize for genocidal Arab terrorism as an acceptable and inevitable result of a weak people suffering under Western oppression. Violence on the part of the oppressed is accepted by liberals because it is deemed to be the fault of the strong nations whose subjugation of those defenseless people is the very cause of their violent resistance. In fact, when Israel-loathing Leftist professors, such as Columbia University’s toxic Joseph Massad, apologize for Palestinian terror, he justifies it by characterizing the very existence of Israel as being morally defective, based, in his view, on its inherent racist and imperialist nature. For him, nations that are racist and imperialistic cannot even justify their own self-defense, while the victims of such regimes are free to “resist,” based on the Left’s notion of universal human rights―but especially for the weak. “What the Palestinians ultimately insist on is that Israel must be taught that it does not have the right to defend its racial supremacy,” Massad has written, “and that the Palestinians have the right to defend their universal humanity against Israel's racist oppression.” As part of academia’s fervent desire to make campuses socially ideal settings where racial and cultural strife ceases to exist, Palestinianism gains traction as part of the campaign to realize “social justice” for marginalized victim groups—the long-aggrieved Arab Palestinians among them, now the Third World’s favorite victim. For the Left, according to David Horowitz, a former radical leftist turned conservative, social justice is “the concept of a world divided into oppressors and oppressed.”  Those seeking social justice, therefore, do so with the intention of leveling the economic, cultural, and political playing fields; they seek to reconstruct society in a way that disadvantages the powerful and the elites, and overthrows them if necessary—in order that the dispossessed and weak can acquire equal standing. In other words, the Left yearns for a utopian society which does not yet exist and is willing to reconstruct and overturn the existing status quo—often at a terrible human cost—in the pursuit of seeking so-called “justice” for those who, in their view, have been passed over or abused by history. According to Horowitz, this “radicalism is a cause whose utopian agendas result in an ethic where the ends outweigh and ultimately justify the means,” a view which has meant that Western leftists have come to share sympathy for the tactics and ideology of jihadists who seek to overturn Western ideals in their pursuit of an Islamic caliphate, what Horowitz calls an “unholy alliance” of the Left and Islamists in their pursuit of social justice. In this dangerous alliance, Israel is continually slandered as a racist state, an aggressive, militaristic regime that inflicts disproportionate suffering on the hapless Palestinians, lubricating the argument that this inequality is inherently and inexorably wrong, that it must be corrected and made just. Thus, when such radical student groups as Students for Justice in Palestine have as their core mission, as their name implies, bringing their own vision of justice to the Middle East, it is justice only for the oppressed, the Palestinians, and not for the oppressor, Israel, whose position of power was made possible only because of a “hierarchy of class and race [which] exists globally.” For the Left, social justice is solely for the disenfranchised, the ‘victims’ of unjust Western societies, those whose suffering is ostensibly caused by and is the fault of imperialistic, capitalistic, militant, hegemonic nations—America and Israel foremost among them. And on campuses, where liberal professors have nearly made sacred the politics of race and class and have identified specific sets of favored victim groups for whom justice will be sought, the cult of “victimhood” has even led to compulsory instruction on the mechanics of achieving social justice for the weak in society. This view of the Jew, or of Israel, the Jewish state, as a political destabilizer, is, of course, also central to the ideology of Palestinianism and the notion that the victims of Jewish power are the dispossessed and weak for whom liberal academics purportedly seek justice. Any tactics, including terror and violence, are considered appropriate and excusable in the victims’ cause of throwing off the yoke of oppression, so the Palestinian, clearly made to suffer daily humiliation and endlessly deprived of a homeland and the right to self-determination, has become the perfect example of the contemporary victim archetype, the Third-World “other,” an ever-present, homeless, dispossessed tragic refuge whose plight could be traced directly to supposed colonialism on the part of the “settler” state of Israel. This rationalization, that violence is an acceptable, if not welcomed, component of Palestinianism—that is, that the inherent “violence” of imperialism, colonialism, or capitalism will be met by the same violence as the oppressed attempt to throw off their oppressors—is exactly the style of self-defeating rationality that in this age has proven to be an intractable part of the war on terror. America-hating and Israel-hating academics have not infrequently wished for harm to come to these countries at the hands of the victim groups to whom they readily give their sympathies. They frequently, and mistakenly, ascribe to poverty and helplessness the inclination to lead to terrorism on the part of otherwise weak and oppressed individuals. And, like leftist apologists for revolutionary violence in earlier examples of resistance, they see an opportunity for the tables to be turned on the oppressors and an equal distribution of suffering to be brought about in the resulting power shift. The nearly total rejection by the Left of any recognition of goodness on the part of Western countries, cultivating and promoting Palestinianism, is, according to commentator Melanie Phillips, symptomatic of academics' belief in their own moral superiority, a feature which, at least in their own minds, gives them a more genuine and principled worldview. “In the grip of a group-think that causes them to genuflect to victim-culture and the deconstruction of western morality and the concept of truth,” Phillips wrote, “a dismaying number of our supposedly finest minds have been transformed from people who spread enlightenment to those who cast darkness before them.” Richard L.

The Confused Bigotry of LGBT Youth: Jenna "Cumboy Bebop"

 There are LGBT militants, even in the city of Torrance. The Balanced City is working hard on balancing itself through hard times, especially because of the corruption that has become endemic in Washington DC and Sacramento.

This time, another LGBT bigot named Jenna, a (thankfully former) Torrance resident who ran away to hide in Santa Barbara.

She seems to think it's OK to push sexual perversion on children. This hatred is evident because she opposes MassResistance.

She also hates Jews, since she is so pro-Palestinian, even though there is no such thing as Palestine. She thinks that terrorism is OK since she wants to abolish ICE and the police. What kind of bigoted madness is this, especially when the vast majority of black and Hispanic people ("people of color") want the police in their neighborhoods and want them well-funded to serve and protect their communities?

Check out her Twitter avatar here:

She is a childish communist, for starters. Who would think that putting "Communist Manifesto" in the same frame with children's book characters Frog and Toad would even make sense?

It gets worse, or better ...

She calls herself (?) a "self-hating graduate student." Self-loathing is very common on the left, especially because they see it as a form of virtue. It certain sounds like a classic case of mental illness.

And she's a graduate student in Santa Barbara. Is she being UC Tuition to be a grad student? And in what subject, exactly? That alone would set a person up for major depression.

And lo and behold, look what she wrote next on her Twitter profile:

"Clinically depressed and anxious homo."

Really.

She has mental health issues, but she finds time to defame men and women who want to protect children and the general public from destructive LGBT perversion. Really.

For the record, individuals who fall into unnatural affection, i.e. "homo" are going to struggle with mental health issues of all kinds. No one should be surprised.

And it gets worse from there.

Check out her hate against me, for starters:

@ Torrance friends, Arthur Schaper, violent local racist and homophobe is trying to get on city council, PLEASE email our city council public comment and let them know that Torrance will not be safe for all citizens if Arthur Schaper is in a position of power!!! pic.twitter.com/JBHiDvrisC

— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) July 13, 2021

She thinks that standing up for children and against sexual perversion is hate. No wonder she is self-loathing.

And then check out her "comeback":

Hey Arthur making fun of my mental illness??! That’s pretty ableist buddy!!!

— 🌙jenna♏️ (@CumboyBebop) August 4, 2021

And yes, her Twitter handle is "Cumboy Bebop." Seriously.

Without the profile, anyone could have figured out that she was mentally ill.

Since when is "ableist" a thing? This is nonsense. All of this intersectionality garbage covers up for someone who is needy, bitter, and angry--nothing more.

Why is that people are so desperate to identify themselves as victims? It's really quite sad.

Bigots like Jenna are nothing but unemployed, over-wrought hate-mongers who have a problem with people who do not look like them. By her own admission, she has mental health issues. She probably should not be out in public, let alone in civilized society as a whole.

It's good that she no longer lives in the city of Torrance. Such bigotry, she hate, such white supremacy has no place in the South Bay.

 

LIAR: Fake News on Twitter About Death of "Palestinian" Child

Here is the latest piece of Fake News about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, this time in a tweet sent out with a false by-line:

An Israeli police man strangles a palestinian Child to death Spread this video before youtube and google erase it pic.twitter.com/loMEP6PifK

— Asad Kharal (@AsadKharal) December 15, 2017

Notice the comments listed below the tweet above.

To keep it simple, here are the brazen lies in the tweet:

1. The incident took place in Sweden, not Israel.

2. The child held down by the police officer did not die.

3. The individual held in place was Moroccan, not Palestinian.

It's time to fight back against these baseless, anti-Israel, anti-Western lies, and especially from the Pro-Palestinian forces more interested in pushing a narrative instead of narrating the truth.

President Trump: I Kept My Promise on Jerusalem--The Others Didn't!

After months of stalling and waiting, President Trump finally officially recognized Jerusalem as the Eternal Capital of Israel. He further directed his cabinet and the State Department to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

The transition will take time, but it's underway. Of course, the Palestinian terrorists and their liberal enablers and screaming and rioting in the streets over this move. But it's about time it happened. The United States' military victories in the Middle East against ISIS, plus the growing awareness of the violent nature of the Islamic political cult have wakened the world to the high stakes in the region

We need to stand with Israel, and we need to ensure that the capital of the only stable liberal democracy in the Middle East is recognized as the mainstay of the Jewish State.

His critics in the United State

This tweet says it all:

I fulfilled my campaign promise - others didn’t! pic.twitter.com/bYdaOHmPVJ

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 8, 2017

In 1995, Congress passed legislation, which President Bill Clinton signed, that would require the United States to move their embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. One part of the law, however, permitted the President to issue a waiver in case of national security threats.

This time, however, President Trump allowed the waiver to lapse and he announced official recognition of Jerusalem as the official, eternal capital of the state of Israel.

Why didn't the other Presidents follow through on the promise?

Bill Clinton was too busy trying to make history for himself by brokering the Oslo Accords. He wanted to be the peace-broker who achieved the lasting cessation of conflict in the Middle East and the final assurance of a two-state solution.

Didn't happen. In fact, in the year 2000, the Second Intafada erupted. The violent Muslims in the region have no interest in a two-state solution. The rogue, terrorist states within the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip do not want to live side-by-side with Jews, but would rather see them all pushed into the sea.

George W. Bush was the NeoCon I had feared. I thought that he would have showed some muscle, some backbone. Then again, he was the same President who declared that he had to suspend the rules of the free market to save it--lie. He also danced with globalist interests. Recognizing Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel would have jeopardized those global ambitions. The very existence of the Jewish State signals that there is a God, and that if there is to be a One World Government, it will rest on His shoulders, not on the shoulders of moral men.

As for Barack Obama, it's obvious from the start that he was hostile to Israel and did not want Jerusalem to be recognized as the Eternal Capital. In fact, during the 2012 Democratic National Convention, the delegates wanted to remove the plank calling for recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel. Then LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa rejected the voice vote on the floor at the call of President Obama. He agreed with the progressive base on this issue, no doubt, but he couldn't afford the media fallout that would have helped Romney immensely.

The Israel question was already hurting President Obama and the Democratic Party. In 2011, sexual predatory Anthony Weiner had to step down, and a Republican won his seat in a special election two months afterwards. From the outset of the Obama Administration, tensions rose considerably between Benjamin Netanyahu and Obama. Pictures of the two leaders showed them distant, refusing to look at each other. Reports indicated that Obama and his team had called Netanyahu a "chickensh--t". The final insult came with Obama using State Department dollars to swing the 2015 Israeli elections toward Netanyahu's leftist opponent.

Obama's meddling didn't have the impact he wanted. Netanyahu cruised to victory with a stronger mandate. His leadership was crucial to guiding the Jewish State through two more years of Obama's anti-Israeli, pro-Iranian backstabbing.

Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential election in a populist, nationalist, conservative upset, part of a rising wave of anti-globalist pushback. His support from Evangelical Christians was essential to victory, as well. Trump's strong relationship with Jewish communities in New York and throughout the world assured Zionists everywhere, and Judeo-Christian proponents in general, that Trump would follow through on the promise to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the US Embassy to the capital.

How else has Trump managed to step beyond the US Embassy double-talk which plagued his predecessors? President Trump is outside of the corrupted Establishment of both political parties. This is true leadership, which builds up the country and the party by paying attention to the needs and concerns of the voters, not the will and whim of K Street, the DC Potomac Two Step, and the corrupt, self-enriching swamp.

Trump had the backbone and the forethought to do what no other President had done. Yes, he makes deals, but any compromise which gets us closer to our goals and upends the interests of the opposition is a step worth taking. Trump made promises and he is keeping them, because he recognizes that his victory is a populist one, not a government-run Establishment-backed effort.
