Before and After the Knock on the Door

This is exactly right. 

For our family, it was before and after seeing the headline on my computer in the Jerusalem Post: 29 year old resident of Beitar Ilit seriously injured in terrorist attack.

I called home and told my husband to check, someone had been injured from his brother's neighbourhood. My stomach was already turning over and over.

The phone rang in my office. My husband screamed my name in anguish and said it's him, over and over again, it's David, it's him. I started screaming in my office.

Someone drove me home. We called the airlines to get a flight. A Rabbi came over and said to pray, he could recover, but I remember my husband saying to him very calmly that he was going to Israel because his little brother was going to die.

We had just barely, barely, barely begun to recover from the traumas of my special needs son's birth, our near deaths, and life as the parents of a significantly disabled child.

I can't write too much about those first few days and hours. My heart starts racing as if it happened yesterday.

I can tell you that when he died, the Arabs in the hallway of the ICU ululated.

I can also tell you that when one of his murderers was finally killed by Israeli security forces, my mother in law was not happy.

She said to me, at least they wouldn't be able to kill anyone else.

Heartbreaking.

Rest in peace. 

Israeli President Rivlin: "The Price of Our Liberty is Purchased in Blood"

Indeed. 

The price of Jewish survival is that precise sacrifice.

Tonight is the start of Israel's memorial day for fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism.

So many lives to remember.

I remember with great love, and no forgiveness David Cohen and Esther and Syke Paltzur among so many others.

May Hashem avenge their deaths and all the others.

Why I FIght, Why I Fight to Be A Jew, Why I'm A Zionist

BECAUSE THIS:

"Don't Touch My Body"

Religious wishes must be respected.

DUH!

Australia Is Screwed

Sinister.

“The Iran Deal Was Much Worse Than We Expected”

(Read the whole thing.)

I Really Mean This...

Fuck Britain. 

It's very interesting that Britain's finest constabulary is not generally allowed to properly protect its citizens against jihadist terrorists, by being, you know armed.

The arms come out when the Juden must go out.

This is so disgusting and so disgraceful that it's hard to find a way to properly express my utter repulsion.

And you know what? I'm glad these people hate Jews. Because we will outlive them and outlast them and out-joy them forever.

I'm very glad they are my enemies.

And While I'm At It

Fuck Germany also. 

Not like they don't have other problems to deal with right?

Better just hector those uppity JOOOOOOZ.

The End Is Nigh

You can have mass migration from non-Western countries and cultures or western freedoms and norms. 

Have I Mentioned Lately That Sweden Deserves to DIe?

No?

Sweden deserves to die.

This is really meaningful, heartfelt and powerful.

I would urge you to read the whole thing.

Not sure if I could have dreamt up a story like this:

Oh my word.

What a love story.

Free Speech is The Entire Thing

I am heartened somewhat by some of the pushback that is happening now in America regarding free speech.

There are a lot of people who seem to understand that without free speech, you can't have other freedoms. Without the freedom to say what you want you cannot really be free.

If you are always worried about what you are going to say, that you may be prosecuted for having "unacceptable" or unpopular thoughts, then you are de facto, living under tyranny no matter what system of governance you allegedly live under.

Americans are so incredibly lucky to have the First Amendment. It is truly one of the most glorious human-created policies and guarantees ever in human history, and it is worth fighting for.

There has already been way too much intellectual and philosophical freedom ceded to the political left all over the world, including in America and don't get me started on Canada.

Eternal vigilance on free speech is required and everyone living in a free society has a responsibility and an obligation to do what they can (not what they can't) to guarantee this freedom.

As I've said on previous occasions, that may be as simple as telling a joke, or not hiding your opinion. It sure as hell means not putting your head down and thinking that "they" will just leave you alone.

They won't.

Yes it does mean taking a risk, or taking several, but yes it is worth it.

Some food for thought on this theme:

Berkely has been hit with a lawsuit over the Ann Coulter lecture.

This via the great Instapundit who rightly says that when punched by these thugs, you have to punch back twice as hard. 

Kurt Schlichter (who is truly on a roll lately) has another excellent column up on Townhall, this one discussing free speech specifically: 

"Look, the left has told us what it wants – the power to force us to be silent and submit. That’s not wacky supposition; that’s not fevered imagination. They are open about their agenda, and it’s happening before our eyes. To pretend that our republic is not facing an existential threat from progressives who would use violence to silence their political opponents is to willfully ignore the evidence, just like a climate cultist ignores cold weather. And the violence has already begun: in fact, it is key to their plan for a free speech-free future. Today it’s gangs of masked thugs attacking us. Tomorrow, it’s uniformed men with guns – or at least those few spineless cowards among our security forces will ignore their oaths to defend the Constitution in exchange for a paycheck and a pension – dragging us off to jail for illegal speech. Or worse."

"We patriots face a stark choice. We could choose the easy path of submission and hope that the left will leave us be if we just give in to their demands and give up on our right to participate in our own governance. But that won’t ever work – the true joy of leftism comes from imposing the leftists’ collective will upon its designated villains, and one guess as to the identity of those designated villains."

"Hi."

"No, they don’t want to leave us alone – that misses the whole point of being a leftist. A leftist yearns to be the one doing the bullying and dominating. If we give in, we will spend the rest of our lives with their soft, girly hands around our necks."

"And if we are so gutless as to give up our God-given rights in exchange for “peace,” we deserve that pathetic, dishonorable fate."

Lastly, you can read Professor Glenn Reynold's take on Howard Dean's alleged constitutional illiteracy.

It's an excellent piece, but I disagree that Dean is a constitutional illiterate. 

I think he is well aware of the contents of the Constitution. I am sure he is well aware that there is no "hate speech exception" in the Constitution. So why go public with such a nonsensical contention?

I think that leftists like Dean cannot help but project their fantastical and tyrannical wet dreams onto reality. They couldn't care less that their proclamations are pure lies. 

They float out these trial balloons from time to time and see what happens and to play to their base. They know that many people are completely illiterate and will not take the time to actually read the documents themselves or do any research. They are fanning the flames of tyranny with flat out lies, and pouring intellectual gasoline on the pyre of freedom. 

After making these astonishing "ignorant" whopper statements, Dean and his ilk get the predictable and deserved whomping from conservatives and textual Constitutionalists and originalists, but they don't care because basically their purpose was to get publicity for their ideas and also "confirm" to the swarming, thug masses that there is, indeed a "hate speech" exception. 

Of course they cannot be shamed because you can't shame the shameless. 

These are very sinister folks, who want to own your souls. 

And they will if you let them. 








Haida Bibi, Haida: PM Netanyahu Cancels Meeting With German FM

This is absolutely excellent. 

It's Bibilicious. 

There is no reason to court and flatter one's enemies.

If the Germans want to commit suicide by invasion and dhimmify themselves into oblivion-go ahead. But there's no reason the Jews have to coddle them as they do it, and as they fund organizations that actively seek to destroy the Jewish state.

It's really hard to describe how pathological Germans are, and there really doesn't seem to be much hope for them.

It's excellent that essentially, PM Netanyahu has said you can have your funding of Jew-hatred, or you can have fancy pants photo opps with moi, the leader of Israel and the de facto leader of the free world (President Trump not withstanding, but it's only been about 100 days).

You can't have both! Sorry not sorry!

Rest assured, we Jews will outlive the current iteration of Germany and all of the policy-makers that so wisely decided to bring in an entirely new populace of Jew-haters, West-loathers to their shores, just in time to replace the remnants of the old Jew-haters who were starting finally to die off, yet all living their lives to the fullest on the blood-soaked earth.

I'm really delighted with this move by Netanyahu.


14 Poignant Pictures of Holocaust Survivors And Their Short Notes

NY Teens Honoured For Pushing Back Against "Why Gas the Jews" School Assignment

I heard about this story when it happened and I'm really glad Legal Insurrection is keeping the story alive. 

This is not just a story about the Jews, it's a story about doing the right thing.

Kudos to these young people for taking a stand.

I'm really happy they were recognized.

"Cleaning the Hate"

Another amazing story.


"They Don't Know How To Talk. They Only Know How to Kill. They Drink Blood"

An amazing story of Gaza Muslims who became collaborators with Israel and are now converting to Judaism.

"My Mother Pushed Me Out of the Line and Said Go To Work"

"To Nina, My Sister, Who Was Taken From Me By Animals"

"It Was A Long Time Ago, As if It Happened Yesterday"

Sephardic stories of the Shoah.

Just think: the Jews thought they were safe in Muslim countries, and then fled to "safety" in France. Now they are hunted down in France by the Muslims they escaped.

Where to now? Israel is one choice.

But there are really very few places in the world where Jews can live with any degree of safety, and that list gets shorter with every brainless, liberal government that takes power in the Western world.

Free Speech Under Assault in America

Here's a clip of Ann Coulter discussing her "The Show Must Go On" position on speaking at Berzerkley.

What's interesting is that there are a few principled leftists who are coming to her defence.

I was absolutely shocked to see Bernie Sanders among them! So, I must give a shout out to that crusty old Jewish commie!

I never thought I would ever hear myself say "kudos, Bernie", but these are strange times.

I'm not surprised that Bill Maher is defending her, he is also principled on this issue in partciular and many more-like Islam for example. I don't agree with him on a lot, but I certainly appreciate his willingness to discuss issues with people he completely disagrees with, and defend the right to do so. He is also absolutely right about this kind of violent, crybaby tyranny being akin to book-burning.

It will be very interesting to see what happens on campus on April 27 especially given how much we now know about Berkeley's mayor on these issues.

Saturday Night Live! With Me! Lucky You!

Shabbat is over late nowadays, but fortunately for you all, I HAD A NAP.

And you know how the old saying goes: if you love someone let them go nap.

(Thanks, family!)

Therefore, I am still up at this extremely late hour and can post a bunch of links for your enjoyment depression.

Et voila: 

HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY:

Remembering the Holocaust in Ladino, with this message: “Never let anyone insult you because you are a Jew.”

Endorsed: Blow Up The Memorials to Dead Jews

(I mean it-blow 'em up. I am so tired of the fetishization of dead Jews. Everyone loves dead Jews. Live ones, not so much.)

MISC AWESOME LINKS I HAVEN’T HAD TIME TO POST:

A week of terror and diversity in Europe-must read.

The New Civil War by Daniel Greenfield (SO GOOD MUST READ)

Winning the Civil War of Two Americas (ALSO SO GOOD)

The Left’s Persecution of Real Refugees From Islam and Communism

EUROPE:

Here is my deepest sentiment for Europe: it can go screw itself and the Jews should all get out while they can. How's that? And when I say I am serious, I really mean it. 

Here's a prime example of why:

Fuck Sweden

I honestly don’t care about this disgusting Third World, Jew-hating, preening, self-destructive, terrorphilic sh&hole of a country and I spit at the disgusting, craven and sinister Europeans and any other earth-based human who is willing to sacrifice their children to the death cult.

So screw every single word of this statement and this disgusting, excremental excuse of a human as well:

“Fredrik Reinfeldts thoughts are with the dead, the injured and their relatives. In particular, he thinks of eleven year old Ebba Ã…kerlund - the youngest of the victims: I think everyone embraces this eleven year old girl's death. It is among the most difficult thing you can experience, to an innocent child gets killed. It shows the price for the open society…”

No it doesn't, it shows the price of unfettered immigration and a leftist-Marxist, anti-Western civilizational suicide wish/demand. 

Not all of us are buying what you are selling, Satan. 

ON JEWISH LEFTISTS:

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE:

“For leftists born into a Jewish family, anti-Semitism is not about people who hate Jews. It’s about people that the Jewish leftists hate, notably President Trump and, guilt by association, his advisers.”

ON FREE SPEECH:

The Moment When The Prophet Mark Steyn, PBUH, Mentions You On Fox News With Tucker Carlson

OH MAH GAWD!!

*waves*

OK so I finished my grocery shopping and put everything away and decided I was FINALLY going to make chocolate babka for Shabbat. Finally I was gonna get that (f&cking) yeast dough right. FINALLY.

I was puttering with the yeast and the dough when all of the sudden my phone starts to PING PING PING PING. I take a look and see that The Prophet Mark Steyn, PBUH, ULULULULULU has mentioned me on Twitter, but it's just preview, and my hands are full of babka dough so I can't see the whole thing.

Then a reader friend e-mails me and I hear an e-mail ping and she says something about Steyn as well. I wash my hands and PING PING PING PING PING. I clue into what is happening!

It's the moment when Mark Steyn mentions you on Fox News with Tucker Carlson, in the middle of making Shabbos Babka!!!!!

(My daughter asked if Tucker made THE CONFUSED AND BEMUSED FACE and I said I don't know, haven't seen it yet, but now I have seen it so yes, yes he did..)

YUUUUUUUUUGE thanks to Mark Steyn for the shout out.

I've only watched this twice eighty or so times . Enjoy! Made my evening.

(The babka rocks also, just sayin...)

Alas, it just doesn't work that way as this Italian fellow just found out....

Allahu Akbar is Arabic For Motive Unknown And May Never Be Known

Another point of order:

Allahu Akbar doesn't mean "God Is Great".

It means Allah Is (the) Greatest. Meaning, Allah is greatest because Allah enables the murder of these infidels. There's a big difference.

So don't spread Fake News or Fake Translations.

The Alpha Male Gays Take on Islamic Terrorism and Barbarism

You know it's really very gutsy of these guys to be speaking out loud about this, because none of their compadres on the left wants to talk about it. 

The left wants you to take a very big, supersized cup of SHUT UP about Islam and the gay thing...and when I say the gay thing, I mean the throwing gays off buildings thing, the gunning down gay people in American nightclub thing, and the putting gays LITERALLY into concentration camps in a Muslim country thing, and the hanging gays in Iran thing. 

So good for the alpha male homosexuals who clearly have some of THE BIGGEST STONES on the planet.

Gays used to be the pets of the left, but Islam trumps everything else now and the gays with survival instincts understand this very clearly. The left is finished with gays-they are completely, 100% expendable to the political left.


Awww, They Blow Up So Fast....

Just a heads up off on the latest tales of barbarism and savagery from ISIS.

Yeah, let's make peace with these people. 

This is Not A Small Thing

Happy Passover (Again)

The last day(s) of Passover are also holy days so I'll be off line for a bit. It's been quite a week-lotsa matzah and other things going on...

It has been very busy in my real life, with cleaning and cooking and preparations etc.

At this time, I'd also like to wish my Christian readers a very Happy Easter.

I'll be blogging again later this week.

Don't think that mob violence against alleged blasphemers cannot and will not happen in the West.

Baby steps in this direction have already been taken all over the Western world.

The culture of death has no tolerance for the culture of life.

Therefore, in Sweden, you must kill babies or lose your job as a midwife. 

This story really represents Sweden in a nutshell.

It's quite sinister actually.

Not just because it's a fetid cesspool of anti-Western, anti-Jewish arseholes and corrupt non-democracies (that's good enough for me of course).

My advice: dismantle and build some nice condos on that prime real estate, and ship all the diplomatics home.

But never mind YOU, let's get back to me!

ME ME ME!!!

Oh boy did I miss venting my spleen! Do you know what it feels like to have all this snark and editorial comment building up inside of you and you have NOWHERE TO PUT IT????? GAHHHHHH!!!!

I got my beloved little computer back yesterday and serious kudos to my handy dandy repairman. It was not cheap, but it was certainly cheaper than getting a new computer so I am very grateful.

PEOPLE: There's SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.

First of all, yes-Passover seder was lovely thankyouverymuch. The food was great, the table was lovely and the cut flowers fresh and pretty. The story is magnificent, and the singing was glorious and I just love Passover. I am more profoundly moved by the words and the songs every year. I really do try to live each day as if today was the day I was released from slavery. I am so happy not to be in Egypt figuratively and literally.

Here are a bunch of links that I have been saving up for you all.

I'll be posting and writing more as my schedule permits.

France: 

A Jew-hating murder in a no-go-zone in Paris. Apparently, the terrorist was screaming Allahu Akbar as he shoved a Jewish grandmother to her death, but the motive is still a mystery. 

Eurabia is Doomed, Europe Goes Full Steynian Demographic Doom O' Rama:

No babies, no life. 

Israel: 

The hipster guide to Israel. You're welcome.

Australia: 

Apparently, wife beating is a good thing. 

America: 

Don't get smug America, there is some clitoral splicing and dicing going on in Michiganistan. 

This is GOOD and should be recognized, especially by Jews. Jewish blood and the blood of friends of Jews is not cheap, dammit. So please, do tell me how Trump is antisemitic. Next on the list, the savage murderer and mastermind of the Sbarro bombing who is being sheltered in Jordan.

Three cheers for Dave Chappelle. OK, make that ELEVENTY MILLION GAZILLION BAZILLION.

Jooooooooo Stuff: 

This is schmaltzy but so good. Honestly, when I close my eyes and concentrate I can both smell and taste my Bubbie's food in my mind's eye. What a gift I had, knowing all my grandparents. What a gift my children have.

As I Always Say....

(For a helpful recap, see the Prophet Mark Steyn, PBUH, here.)

Mark Steyn: "If You Have Nothing To Die For, You Have Nothing to Live For"

Have I mentioned recently that I adore Mark Steyn?

Mr. Steyn is releasing TONS of wonderful material from The Mark Steyn Show on his web site, so if you haven't watched them then you should.

I was very moved by this latest Steyn Post "The War That Made the World We Live In", but there is one line that was particularly haunting right towards the end. Steyn rightly points out that individuals and societies that have nothing to die for have nothing to live for. How much wisdom is it possible to pack into one phrase? A great deal as it turns out.

Do watch the whole Steyn Post here, and do notice the lovely sartorial combination-really nice suit and shirt with signature pocket square!

LOOOOOOOOVELY. 

*waves*

UMM...SORRY, BUT IS IT HOT IN HERE? 

BECAUSE I FEEL RATHER FLUSHED... 

SORRY what were we talking about?

Steyn, suits, war, civilizational collapse...

Right, right-watch the whole thing here and for real and not for joking, tell me if that zinger I cited above does not just kick you in the kishkes. 



And then, if you are not depressed enough, please read this post: The Incoming Roar 

As Mark often points out, the stories are all different but they are all the same.

If you don't want to be a story, speak up and live free. 

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

I refuse to live life afraid.

There is risk inherent in this approach but there is more risk in choosing to "live" or more accurately sleepwalk through life with your head down, trying not to attract attention, not understanding that though you are not interested in this war, this war is very interested in you and yours.

As Mark says: if you have nothing to die for, then you clearly have nothing to live for.

A Veritable Steynalanche!

I've swiped liberated borrowed one of my progeny's devices for a few moments just to encourage you to read Mark Steyn's latest: The Big Shut Up. 

It's so good, and he's sooooooo smart of course, and very brave and just so free speechy and all that, which is just divine of course because without free speech there actually is no speech.

Free speech is the whole enchilada, the gantze megillah, the be all and end all. 

And, for your information, one of the very best parts of this outstanding essay is when he gives a shout out to a very strange, suburban Jewish Zionist mother from Canada that you may or may not have some familiarity with.

Hardware Update: My computer is being examined now by a very jovial fellow with lots of Mac experience and I'm just hoping I didn't burn out the motherf&cking whoops, I mean motherboard but it looks like that may be the case.

Sigh. 

ANYHOO. 

It's just a "thing" obviously and not life and death so hopefully I'll be up to speed soon-ish.

In the meantime, I've been doing 'real life' stuff. Passover cleaning is almost done and Passover shopping is on the dance card this week.

Hardware Disaster Alert

I have tons of links and great stuff and snark to share, but I have a hardware glitch:

I spilled about half a glass of water on my MacBook Air and it's completely fritzed out. I can't even explain how angry I am at myself. I have to take it either to Apple for an assessment and/or to a repair guy that a friend recommended. I'm beside myself! Bah.

So, I'm doing this post on a borrowed computer and blogging will be pretty much zilch until my poor computer gets fixed.

I'm hoping it's just a fix and not a write-off.
