CAROLINE GLICK: THE SIX FALSE, FAILED ASSUMPTIONS

OF THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION

written by Caroline Glick 
September 7, 2022 

(JNS) U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken refused to meet with either Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz or National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata when they visited Washington last week to discuss the dangers the administration’s deal with Iran poses to Israel. Instead, Blinken sent his deputy, Wendy Sherman, to meet with Hulata. And from the State Department’s press release of the meeting, she read him the riot act over the Palestinians while largely ignoring the nuclear deal, which opens Israel to existential threat.

Following that meeting, Blinken dispatched Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf to Israel and the Palestinian Authority to increase pressure on Israel for concessions to the Palestinians. Her visit was capped off by an angry string of tweets from U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides, who exhorted Israel to stop blocking Arab Americans who are assessed as posing security threats to Israel from entering the country. Nides further insisted that Israel transfer control over its immigration policy to the hostile, terror-supporting Palestinian Authority.



To discuss the strategic insanity of the administration’s pro-Palestinian policies, Caroline Glick hosts IDF Maj. Gen. (ret.) Gershon Hacohen on this week’s “Mideast News Hour.”

Hacohen, who served as commander of the IDF’s war colleges and currently commands the IDF’s northern column in reserves, explains the six false, failed assumptions behind the two-state solution, and through them demonstrates how the United States’ continued support for the failed policy exposes a deep-seated hostility to Israel’s survival.

Hacohen then explains the roots and danger of the IDF high command’s continued support for the so-called separation doctrine that asserts that Israel can safely withdraw from Judea and Samaria and live at peace with the Palestinians. He gives an explanation for the IDF’s refusal to walk away from the failed two-state paradigm despite the strategic threat it poses to Israel, and gives examples of how the threat arising from that strategic blindness manifests on the ground.

Less than an hour after Glick and Hacohen speak, three Palestinian terrorists in the Jordan Valley open fire on a bus transporting soldiers. They shower the bus with bullets and pipe bombs and attempted to set it on fire. The attack, which wounded six soldiers and a civilian bus driver, was a tragic and infuriating expression of Hacohen’s arguments.

The terrorist, in Israel illegally, admitted he was en route

to committing a large-scale terror attack.

World Israel News

A Palestinian terrorist armed with a submachine gun and two bombs was arrested by officers in the Arab-Jewish coastal city of Jaffa on Thursday, on his way to committing a major terror attack in Tel Aviv, police said.

The 19-year-old resident of Nablus, who crossed the green line illegally, aroused the suspicion of officers from the Yassam special forces unit near Jaffa’s clock tower who then arrested him. He was carrying two pipe bombs filled with nails, police said, as well as a Palestinian manufactured ‘Carlo’ submachine gun, a weapon of choice for terrorists from Judea and Samaria, since they are untraceable.

Police bomb sappers defused the explosives.

The teen later admitted that he was on his way to commit a large-scale attack and was looking for somewhere crowded, police said.

“He was looking to commit a massacre,” Police Chief Kobi Shabtai told reporters at the scene.

Shabtai hailed the Yassam officers for “preventing a huge and deadly terror attack.”

Sharif Hason, one of the officers who arrested the terrorist, described the incident.

“We were in Jaffa, we identified a suspicious person, stopped him and he admitted that he was in Israel illegally,” he said.

“He had a really heavy bag, and there was something metal poking out. While checking it we saw it was a gun. We told the guy to get down on the floor, that he was under arrest,” he added.

The terrorist had just been released from a four-month prison sentence for bringing a knife onto the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in April.

He'll get more than 4 months for this!

Another suspect in the area was also detained.

Prime Minister Yair Lapid said police prevented a “significant terrorist attack.”

“The State of Israel will act forcefully and without compromise against those who try to harm us. I commend the security forces for apprehending the terrorists in Tel Aviv-Yafo and preventing a significant terrorist attack,” he said in a statement.

“We must continue to act with all the tools at our disposal to restore security and stability to the region.”

The statement also noted that Lapid held a security assessment earlier in the day at IDF headquarters to discuss the upsurge of terrorism, “the goal of which was to consider tools and immediate action to stabilize the security situation in Judea and Samaria and halt the deterioration.”




Knifeman shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ stabs two people

before being shot dead by police in Germany

A knife-wielding man shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ wounded two people in a southern German town on Thursday before being fatally shot by police.


The 30-year-old man attacked several passers-by 'with at least one knife',
near the train station in Ansbach, a Bavarian town close to Nuremberg, local police said.

Two people were injured but their lives were not in danger, the statement said.

When security forces intervened, the assailant 'attacked the police' who opened fire and fatally wounded him, the statement added.

Investigators said they were investigating a possible 'Islamist or terrorist context'.

Gee, ya think?

'The man shouted 'Allahu Akbar' several times during the commission of the crime,' police said, adding that they were investigating 'whether the crime had a link with an Islamist or terrorist context'.

Footage purportedly showed the knifeman chasing people across a car park.

A man, seen in the video wearing a navy gilet over a white t-shirt, is shown stalking a group of people through a car park - while holding a long blade.

As he nears the group, he suddenly sprints towards them. The people run from the man, as the sound of sirens can be heard getting closer to the scene. Shouting can be heard in the footage, but the words 'Allahu Akbar' are not discernible.

The footage ends with the man running down a path and out of sight behind a hedgerow. Sometime after, the man was shot dead by police. According to German tabloid Bild, he 'died on the spot'.

Ansbach was the site of a 2016 terrorist attack, in which a suicide bomber injured 15 people outside a wine bar in the town.

The bomber was identified as Mohammad Daleel - a 27-year-old Syrian asylum seeker who had pledged allegiance to Islamic State.

Gee, I wonder if there was any link to Islam or terrorism????

He was the only person killed in the incident.




DeSantis Accuses CAIR of Deception, Ousts It from Florida Program

The office of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has told FWI it will be removing the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a partner in its Faith and Community Initiative.

In 2019, the governor founded the Governor's Faith and Community Initiative "to facilitate the efforts of the state's faith-based entities by improving communication and collaboration among them," according to Dylan Fisher, the program's director.

On August 18, a Facebook post by the Florida branch of CAIR claimed to be a leading member of the initiative, declaring, "Governor Ron DeSantis recently presented CAIR-Florida with a Certificate of Recognition for our continued work in service of the vulnerable populations of Floridians."

Governor DeSantis has, however, previously taken a strong stance against CAIR, noting its identification by the U.S. government in 2007 as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation's funding of the terror group, Hamas.

CAIR-Florida co-sponsored a pro-Hamas rally in 2014, at which participants yelled "We are Hamas." In 2017, then-director, Hassan Shibly, endorsed a conference that promoted violent jihad and personally referred to Muslims from the moderate Ahmadiyya as "heretical."

When FWI asked the governor's office how CAIR had received recognition, DeSantis' Press Secretary, Bryan Griffin, explained "The faith office will certainly review this oversight and remove CAIR from our list of partner organizations."

"It is false for CAIR to claim that they were affirmatively selected to receive any sort of recognition. This was an automatically generated thank you note to any faith-based entity that self-enrolled in our Faith and Community Based Initiative via a website. Every person and entity that signed up received this automatically generated response."

Critics accuse CAIR-Florida of a history of misrepresentations. In 2020, the Islamist group presented known terror supporters and a convicted murderer as misunderstood "activists" on a webinar to "highlight the government's use of imprisonment as a fear and intimidation tactic targeting both individuals and communities, and eroding civil liberties."

The August 14, 2020 invitation to a CAIR-Florida webinar series honoring as "misunderstood activists" violent jihad advocate Sami Al-Arian, terrorist camp graduate and Taliban promoter Moazzam Begg, and convicted cop-killer Jamil Al-Amin.

The first, Sami Al-Arian, is an advocate of violent jihad, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to supporting the designated terror group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The second, Moazzam Begg, is a leading British Salafi who, according to the Pentagon, "trained at three terrorist camps." Begg says he told the CIA under interrogation that he "wanted to live in an Islamic state" and described the Taliban as "better than anything Afghanistan has had in the past 25 years."

CAIR-Florida also picked a convicted cop-killer as another victimized "activist," Jamil Al-Amin. Al-Amin shot two sheriff's deputies, killing one in March 2000. He has made the FBI's "Most Wanted" list more than once, has been investigated in connection to multiple murders, and views the United States Constitution as "diametrically opposed to what Allah has commanded." Al-Amin also benefits from CAIR financially, as they seek to get him off the cop-killing charge.

The governor's office responded to FWI's inquiry about the "recognition" of CAIR saying, "We welcome the efforts of any legitimate faith-based organization that wants to work to serve the needs of Floridians. However, CAIR does not reflect our shared values, and this will be corrected immediately."

CAIR-Florida did not respond to FWI's request for comment.

Court Kicks CAIR Out of San Diego School District

The Islamization of America takes a giant step backward

In a landmark case, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been forced out of the San Diego Unified School District.

A lawsuit was brought against the district for partnering with CAIR and allowing the Islamist organization to run a discriminatory, unconstitutional propaganda program in its schools.

The court agreed with this assessment.

The program in question gave Muslim students special privileges and gave CAIR the power to change the district curriculum to make sure Islam was looked upon more favorably.

Students and parents were made to watch biased videos, CAIR officials were allowed to teach students and teachers about Islam and students were trained “how to become allies with Muslims students.”

The program, which began in April 2017, was based on false evidence that, in the wake of President Donald Trump’s electoral victory, Muslim students were subjected to “Islamophobic” bullying. However, state records indicated there was no evidence of such bullying in the district’s schools.

The court ruled that the program was unconstitutional because it violated the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause by favoring one religious group over another and mixing government with religion.

Under the terms of the ruling, the school district is required to permanently drop the program and prevented from allowing CAIR to be involved in school activities in the future.

Further, school officials must correct the pro-Muslim student bias and disproportionate emphasis on Islamic history in its curriculum, which were both instituted through the program.

The court further gave the following guidelines to the schools:

“Educators should treat each religion with equal respect, with the time and attention spent discussing each religion being proportionate to its impact on history.”

“Educational material on religious subjects must be neutral and may not be presented in a manner that promotes one religion over another.”

“Educators or other staff sponsoring guest speakers at District events must ask them not to use their position or influence on students to forward their own religious, political, economic or social views and shall take active steps to neutralize whatever bias has been presented.”

“Guest speakers from religious organizations are not permitted to present to students on religious topics.”

National strategy

“This is a tremendous victory, because CAIR intended this plan to be a pilot program for a nationwide rollout,” said Daniel J. Piedra, executive director of the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF), the organization which brought the suit against the school district.

The FCDF said that other school districts similarly affected by CAIR are Seattle Public Schools, Minneapolis Public Schools, Cajon Valley Unified School District and Gilroy Unified School District.

“This settlement agreement will serve as a warning to politically correct school boards nationwide to think twice about partnering with CAIR,” said Charles LiMandri, chief counsel for FCDF.

LiMandri called the court’s decision a “victory against radical Islamic indoctrination in America’s schools.”

OK, it's certainly Islamic indoctrination, but to call it 'radical' at this level is a little excessive.

The FBI and the Justice Department have both banned CAIR as an outreach partner because of its Islamist agenda and ties to Hamas and terror funding.

In 2007, the U.S. government labeled CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation for financing the Hamas terrorist group.

In November 2014 CAIR was designated as a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates.

CAIR was listed by the U.S. government as being among “individuals/entities who are/were members of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee and/or its organizations.” The Palestine Committee was a secret body set up by the Brotherhood to advance the Brotherhood/Hamas agenda in America.

A secret meeting of the committee held in Philadelphia in 1993 was wiretapped by the FBI. Nihad Awad, co-founder and executive director of CAIR participated in that meeting where members agreed that a new “neutral” entity for influencing U.S. policy and opinion was agreed upon.

Awad founded CAIR the following year.

CAIR must be eradicated from the school districts mentioned above, but also, and especially, from American universities where they foment antisemitism.

99.9% of Muslims are Peaceful, If You don't Count the 50% Who Are Not

So many people speak passionately about Muslims without knowing the least bit about them. President Obama said 99.9% of Muslims want the same things you and I do. Is he right? Turns out he is not even close.

I have been asking for data in order to understand what Muslims believe in relation to their numbers. I found it in the excellent video below.

Hard hitting 14 minute video below, narrated by Raheel Raza, herself a Muslim, dares to expose Muslim opinions and demographics. Is Obama right and 99.9% of Muslims are peaceful. This film exposes that strangling political correctness that prevents us from telling it like it is.



A glimpse at the numbers Ms Raza reveals:

1.6 billion Muslims



Violent Muslims:

40,000 - 200,000 are ISIS fighters, globally.

Hundreds of thousands (approx 300,000) are fighting for Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al Nusra, Taliban, Hamas, MILF (Philippines), and other jihadist groups elsewhere in the world

There are twice as many British Muslims fighting for ISIS than enlisted in the British military



Muslims working toward a global caliphate through politics & culture:

Hamas supporters who voted them as government in Gaza

Muslim Brotherhood supporters globally, notably in Egypt where they were elected government. MB's stated goal is to establish a global caliphate.

CAIR - Council on American Islamic Relations - "Through media relations, lobbying, and education, CAIR promotes Islamic perspectives to the American public and promotes social and political activism among Muslims in America", Wikipedia.
CAIR was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, a known terrorist supporting organization, and have their head office on Capital Hill, Washington, D.C. They also have influence at the highest level of the American government. They have many supporters, especially in American universities.
CAIR was named a terrorist group by the United Arab Emirates, but operates freely in the US.


Muslims who may or may not practice violence, but believe it is justified, fundamentalists:

In Muslim countries - 79-86% believe Muslims should be killed for leaving Islam

Globally - 27% believe Muslims should be killed for leaving Islam

Globally - 39% believe honor killing is justified (about 345,000,000)

In France - 42%; in Britain 35%, and in America 26% of young Muslims believe suicide bombing is justifiable.

Globally 53% of Muslims (including 40% of British students) are in favour of Sharia Law, ie stoning for adultery, whipping, cutting off hands, beheading, etc. Sharia,  In its strictest and most historically coherent definition, sharia is considered in Islam as the infallible law of God. Wikipedia. In Sharia, a woman, a Christian or a Jew is considered to be worth half of a Muslim male - both in testimony and in awards. 

Under Sharia, punishment for blasphemy against Islam, by Muslims and non-Muslims, range from imprisonment, fines, flogging, amputation, hanging, or beheading. In some cases, Sharia allows non-Muslims to escape death by converting and becoming a devout follower of Islam. One is better off dead!


So, many of these categories are overlapping so it is almost impossible to come up with a single number, or percentage of Muslims who can definitely be labelled, "not peaceful". But certainly, the number is between 27% and 53% and probably closer to the higher number. 

That's between 432,000,000 and 848,000,000 non-peaceful Muslims. And, it is safe to say that number is increasing every day. 

So Mr Obama, your 99.9% is wrong to the point of absurdity, if not downright hostile toward one's intelligence.

Fmr FBI Agent: ‘Vast Majority’ of US Mosques/Islamic Centers Part of ‘Jihadi Network’

To be clear - Jihadi Network is not ISIS. They may have similar goals, but different methods.


Islamic Center YOON S. BYUN/Boston GlobeYoon S. Byun/Boston Globe
by TONY LEE

On Friday’s Breitbart News Daily (6AM-9AM EST) on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, former FBI counter-terrorism Special Agent John Guandolo argued that the “vast majority” of the 2,200 Islamic organizations, centers, and mosques in the United States are a part of a broader “Jihadi network” intent on imposing Sharia Law in America.

Guandolo told host and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon that the San Bernardino terrorist, the UC Merced stabber, the Chattanooga shooter, and the Boston Bombers can all be traced back to such Islamic Centers where “they were supported and trained.”

Guandolo said that the San Bernardino terrorists attended the Islamic Center of Riverside, which he said was a “a Muslim Brotherhood Center.” He noted that the Boston Bombers attended the Islamic Society of Boston, which he said was a subsidiary of the Islamic Society of North America that was founded by an al-Qaeda guy who used to advise former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore and is now in prison.

He said there are over 2,200 Islamic Centers and mosques in America and the “vast majority of them are a part of this network — they’re hostile.”

He said “over 75%” of these centers, based on their property records, are a part of the “Muslim Brotherhood network” since they are “owned by the North American Islamic Trust, which is the bank for the Muslim Brotherhood here.”

The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. It was they who were overthrown in the violent coup in Egypt. Why it, or anything remotely related to it is allowed to operate in the US is inexplicable.

He said “in 2006, I put together the first training program inside the government on the jihadi network in the United States… and was able to sneak a second one in in early 2007.”

Guandolo trained “quite a number of agents from a variety of agencies,” including the Department of Justice, before the government shut down the programs. He mentioned that the “most prominent Muslim Brotherhood Organizations like the Islamic Society of North America, Muslim Public Affairs Council, and the Hamas organization called the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) — complained to the White House about the training inside the government at the FBI.”

Guandolo said he “came to understand very deeply the massive jihadi network we have in the United States” and discovered that “the leaders of the Islamic organizations… were actually interfacing with government leaders and advising them with how to proceed in the war on terror, as it was called.”

Guandolo realized that “we were being advised by the enemy on how to investigate and deal with the enemy” and “and that’s why I started the training.”

He mentioned that in the U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation case in 2008, a 15-year FBI investigation that was revealed demonstrated “that the most prominent Islamic organizations in America and North America are a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, the jihadi network here.” Guandolo said that “internal documents entered into evidence say that the purpose of this network is to wage civilization jihad… until the entire world, and specifically the United States, is under Sharia law and the Islamic State is established here.”

He said that, for instance, the “Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)—the largest Muslim Brotherhood organization here— is a Hamas funding entity” and its leadership works with the Secretary of State and the National Security staff, the previous four Secretaries of State, and briefs the FBI and CIA. He mentioned that the previous president of ISNA Mohamed Magid works “very closely with the White House and sits on the Homeland Security Advisory Committee with a secret clearance.”

Guandolo emphasized that these Muslim leaders are the ones that are working with the FBI, Pentagon, Department of Homeland Security, National Security staffs.

“Look at our policy for domestic terrorism… and you can track it back to these organizations,” he said, adding that “they write policy” and say “look, this is offensive to Muslims and this is how you need to do it, and we have done it.”

Guandolo said that it is “insane” that these leaders serve a liaisons “between the Muslim community and the U.S. Government.”

“This is the kind of operation these guys are doing here,” he said.

Saying that he only speaks “with what I would walk into a court of law with” because there is “no issue with the amount of evidence” on the matter, Guandolo said the objective of the jihadi network is to “to establish an Islamic State under Sharia.” For instance, he said the Muslim Brotherhood’s own bylaws in English explicitly state that “they must fight the tyrants and enemies of Allah.”

He also said the one of the biggest mistakes in dealing with Islamic terrorism is that “we want to tie it to ISIS” or another group when this is “part of a much broader movement” and more “than one organization.”

“That network is not being touched,” he said. “That network in Paris that supported that attack is not being touched.”

More troubling, according to Guandolo, is that many authorities in the federal government are oblivious to the Jihadi network.

He said during one of his training sessions, someone who had been in the FBI and counterterrorism for over 14 years and was so angry that he “had never heard of the information you are putting out here.” When he asked others in audience from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies to “raise your hand if you knew this… zero hands went up.”

“That right there is the issue,” he said, adding that he has even briefed three- and four-star generals who had also been clueless. “They don’t know it.”

Guandolo said that even senior government officials have “no idea this is going on inside the United States because the people advising us are the leaders of the organizations—that per evidence in counterterrorism trials—have been identified organizations that are Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, al-Qaeda” who are “necessarily hostile to our system, our war fighting, our way of life. That’s the problem.”

Guandolo runs the understandingthethreat.com site and is the author of Raising a Jihadi Generation
