The Israeli soccer hooligans get what they deserve in Amsterdam

"The attack on the Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam was not because they were Jews but because they were thugs who started provoking everyone until they received their punishment. The ugly truth about the Amsterdam incident is the Western media has adopted and promoted the Israeli narrative that the attack was anti-Semitic and a pogrom against Jews.

Will Trump appoint RFK Jr. as Director of the Department of Health and Human Services?

In reading the postmortems for the Harris/Biden failed Presidential campaign, democrats and progressives are quite concerned about the possibility of RFK Jr. overseeing the safety laws on food production and point to his mythical antivax positions.

In the event you have forgotten what you have done to Palestinians and the rest of the Muslim world since you became President for the first time in 2017, you should ask yourself, "What have I done for Muslims to have them resent me and America?"  And since we say in Arabic, "A camel does not see his hump," allow me to tell you all about your misdeeds since I kept a tally sheet. Please read:

In the event you have forgotten, I did Jerusalem, violating US and International laws.

* The first executive order you issued in 2017 when you took office the first time was a call for a “total and complete ban on Muslims entering the US.”

* You recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. This was a betrayal of the Palestinian dream

* You cut off ALL $390 million in annual aid to Palestinians.

* You closed the PLO office in Washington, D.C.
