One of the fact of life is that people reap what they sow.
The head of the Council on American–Islamic Relations @NihadAwad says that he was “happy to see people breaking the siege” on October 7.

The White House is frantically trying to distance itself from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) after its executive director Nihad Awad claimed he was “happy” to watch the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack unfold. Speaking at the 16th Annual Convention for Palestine in the U.S. on Nov. 24, he said that the people of Gaza were merely “breaking the siege”
Now in response to the incredible backlash CAIR has put out the following statement:
Far be it for me to tell you what to believe so feel free to look at the video and read that statement and decide who is telling the truth and who is not?
Jedediah Tucker Ward:It’s not hypothetical to Dr. Pavel, he wrote it.
Michael Grazier:So he says.
Jedediah Tucker Ward:So he says under oath.
Class Action 1991
There are three reasons why we should not be surprised at either the testimony of these “ladies” who are running elite colleges concerning calling for the genocide of Jews
or the sudden volte face when no longer under oath from Penn
Statement from President Gay: There are some who have confused a right to free expression with the idea that Harvard will condone calls for violence against Jewish students. Let me be clear: Calls for violence or genocide against the Jewish community, or any religious or ethnic…
You see when under oath you are in a position that there are sanctions for lying so as long as they were under oath they didn’t want to assert something that would have been provably false. Particularly with GOP representatives ready to call them out on it.
But once they were no longer under oath, they could make any assertion they wanted without fear of the law.
2. Support for Antifa & BLM
The second reason is less legalistic. At colleges all over the country we have seen people support and even join in on the looting and torching of American cities since 2018. We have seen such actions defended and even promoted by groups on campus with facility and administration giving very public support to such things.
Given those facts how could they credibly claim that such statements are violations the policies of their universities.
3. He Who Pays the Piper Calls the Tune:
The third reason is a bit more mercenary and can be summarized in one word: CASH:
Over 200 US universities including elite institutions Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been accused of raking in $13 billion in “undocumented contributions from foreign governments,” according to a new report.
I’ll say this for these universities, when someone buys them they stay bought.
4. No Enemies on the Left
Finally let’s look at a simple reality.
If I walked onto the campus of Harvard, or MIT, or Penn or frankly almost any university in Massachusetts and sat down to pray my Rosary with a sign next to me that said:
There are two genders
Transgenderism is a form of mental illness
Marriage is between a man and a woman
I would likely at best be escorted forcibly off campus and at worst surrounded and attacked by a raging mob of leftists with no consideration of my 1st Amendment rights. After all I’m a conservative Catholic who actually believes
But the reality is that those people who are screaming “From the River to the Sea” and calling for the death of Jews are reliable votes for Democrats and for all the failings of modern Universities they can do the Ghastly Tom Hagen Math:
Right now the left has the Gays and the Transgenders and the Hollywood elites & media in which they are overrepresented and they figure that’s the best things to have, but in America Islam is a thing of the future. In 20 years the children of Muslims now being raised on the tenets of Sharia law in America will be old enough to vote and Democrats going to make sure they get those votes when the time come, not now but 10-20 years from now.
It’s only been seven years since I wrote those words but they are certainly coming true.
Frankly if they wanted to deflect the question all they would have had to say, is something like:
“While I and the university find such speech horrific as long as it’s just speech it’s not actionable under the Constitution. The first amendment doesn’t have an exception for ‘evil'”.
Alas for them, such a statement would be the source of many lawsuits for all those who have been cancelled, fired and harassed over the last few years for having mainstream conservative opinions.
The left never expels useful idiots until their usefulness is over.
Five days before the deadliest attack in Israel’s history, a warning may have appeared on stock exchanges.
A study by researchers from Columbia University and NYU called “Trading on Terror?” suggests that a trader may have been aware of the coming attack, bet against the Israeli economy and walked away with a profit by short selling on the U.S. and Israeli stock exchanges.
Short selling is a trading strategy aimed at making a profit off an asset that is expected to drop in price; the seller “borrows” a security and sells it on the open market with the goal of buying it back later at a lower price and pocketing the difference.
The study looked at the Israel Exchange-Traded Fund, a common way for people to make investments in Israel, which on any given day has around 2,000 shares shorted. On Oct. 2, that number shot up to over 227,000 shares.
According to Columbia Law School Professor Joshua Mitts, one of the authors of the study, “that’s extremely unusual.” It was also profitable: the shares sold short for one Israeli company alone yielded a profit of nearly $900,000.
Imagine, 1400 were killed, hundreds were kidnapped and women were assaulted and raped and babies beheaded and burned. That’s horrific enough even if you consider that you have a group of people who were since childhood taught that Jews were not due any consideration as human beings.
But the idea that there were people who KNEW this was coming and rather than doing something to prevent it decided it was an excellent chance to make a large profit. That brings obscenity to a whole new level.
Now in fairness the people who did this might well be the same as the folks who did the attacking, as Stephen Green put it:
Underground rocket factories don’t pay for themselves, you know.
So to them it might be the same ideology but for me this is so beyond the scope that it becomes very hard to see Christ in such people rather than recommend a generous use of hemp.
Closing thought: If I’m Israel from now on I’m monitoring stock markets for this type of activity in the future.
In 1904, a Greek American, Ion Hanford Perdicaris, was kidnapped by Ahmed al-Raisuli, a Moroccan tribal leader. Theodore Roosevelt was president. And the official American response to Perdicaris being taken hostage was simple: “We want Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead.” There’s more. Roosevelt sent several companies of Marines and seven warships to Morocco.
The end result was a compromise. Perdicaris was freed and the sultan of Morocco paid a ransom to Raisuni, but also $4,000 to the United States to cover the expenses of the incident.
Moving to the present, our current president, Joe Biden, hasn’t done much more than beg for the release of ten-or-so Americans held in Gaza by Hamas terrorists.
Yeah, yeah, I know the rest of that narrative, which roughly is, “We’re working behind the scenes to secure the release of all American hostages,” or something like that.
Begging is more accurate, I believe.
As of this writing, 58 hostages have been released by Hamas, but only one American, 4-year-old Abigail Mor Edan, whose parents were murdered by the terrorists. She was released this morning, as part of third round of hostage released–a fourth is expected on Monday—which is part of a temporary cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Israel in turn has released at least 100 Palestinian prisoners.
Thailand clearly gets more respect than America, although none of the hostages should have been taken.
Hostage-taking and purposeful killing of civilians are both war crimes–not that Hamas cares about that.
Biden, who favors a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians–which would presumably include Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists–came across far less forceful than Teddy Roosevelt, when speaking of Abigail’s release.
“What she endured is unthinkable,” Biden said. “Thank God she’s home. I just can’t imagine the enjoyment. I wish I were there to hold her.”
Eww.
Instead, Biden should say this: American hostages released or the Hamas leaders dead.
But Biden, even though he is clearly suffering from cognitive decline, apparently still has enough brain cells for now to realize he’s a tool of the growing hate-Israel wing within the Democrat Party.
