Jewish Superstar Gymnast Aly Raisman Honors The Munich 11 With A Solid Gold Salute

“I am Jewish, that’s why I wanted that floor music,’’ Raisman said. Her eyes opened as wide as the gold medal she would win when the judges announced her score of 15.600 points after her mistake-free routine.

It wasn’t a gloved-fist salute from the medal stand, but Jewish-American gymnast Aly Raisman made quite a statement yesterday by winning a gold medal and invoking the memory of the Israeli athletes killed 40 years ago in Munich.

Am Yisrael Chai!

Raisman finished first in the women’s floor exercise, but she deserves to have another medal draped around her neck for having the chutzpah to face the world and do what needed to be done and say what needed to be said.

At the same Olympic Games where bigoted organizers stubbornly refuse to honor the slain athletes with a moment of silence, 18-year-old Raisman loudly shocked observers first by winning, then by paying her own tribute to 11 sportsmen who died long before she was born. And if that weren’t enough, she won her event with the Hebrew folk song “Hava Nagila” playing in the background.

“Having that floor music wasn’t intentional,” an emotional but poised Raisman told reporters after her performance. “But the fact it was on the 40th anniversary is special, and winning the gold today means a lot to me.”

Then Raisman stuck the landing

“If there had been a moment’s silence,” the 18-year-old woman told the world, “I would have supported it and respected it.” It was 40 years ago at the 1972 Munich Games that members of the Israeli Olympic delegation were taken hostage and eventually killed by Palestinian radicals. Executed in the massacre were 11 Israeli athletes and officials and a West German police officer.

The martyrs were remembered this week during a London ceremony filled with sadness and reflection. But not a peep about them has been said publicly in the one place where it counts — at the Summer Games on Olympic soil.

The International Olympic Committee and its president, Jacques Rogge, have refused to properly honor the dead, arguing that the opening ceremony wasn’t an appropriate forum for a moment of silence. But if the opening ceremony is good enough for James Bond and Mr. Bean, it’s hard to understand why it’s not good enough for 60 seconds of solitude.

“Shame on you International Olympic Committee because you have forsaken the 11 members of your Olympic family,” said Ankie Spitzer, whose husband, Andre, an Israeli fencing coach, was gunned down in the massacre.

“You are discriminating against them only because they are Israelis and Jews,” she went on. Rogge was an athlete himself at the very Games where the massacre took place, representing Belgium on the sailing team. “Even after 40 years, it is painful to relive the most painful moments of the Olympic movement,” Rogge said at an unaffiliated service before Spitzer spoke.

“I can only imagine how painful it must be for the families and close personal friends of the victims.” But by refusing to hit the pause button for a measly 60 seconds, Rogge and other organizers have committed a sin nearly as grave as denying there was ever a Holocaust. Were it not for young Aly and her wedding dance/bat mitzvah accompaniment, the Munich dead may have never gotten their due.

“I am Jewish, that’s why I wanted that floor music,’’ Raisman said. “I wanted something the crowd could clap to, especially being here in London. “It makes it even much more if the audience is going through everything with you. That was really cool and fun to hear the audience clapping.’’

Raisman’s eyes opened as wide as the gold medal she would win when the judges announced her score of 15.600 points after her mistake-free routine.

Her top finish was the first by an American woman in the Olympic floor exercise, and the win gave Raisman her second gold medal. Raisman admitted the 40th anniversary of the Munich Games made her “hora” gold even more special.

“That was the best floor performance I’ve ever done, and to do it for the Olympics is like a dream,’’ Raisman said.

Raisman did not go to the Games with the star power of her teammate Gabrielle Douglas or the résumé of world champion Jordyn Wieber, But those who know her best said she works as hard as anyone, and, more importantly, her heart is in the right place.

‘’I’m so happy for Aly,” Douglas, the first African-American to win the all-around title, said after the floor competition. “She deserves to be up on that podium.’’

“She is a focused person,” said Rabbi Keith Stern, spiritual leader of Temple Beth Avodah in Newton Centre, Mass., where the Raisman family are members.

“She’s very proud and upfront about being Jewish. Neither she nor her family explicitly sought to send a message. But it shows how very integrated her Jewish heritage is in everything that she does.” Stern said he remembers picking up young Aly from preschool, and never imagined she’d be some sort of megastar.

He described the US team captain as a big sister-type who is a mother hen to all her younger siblings. “I can’t wait to have her at the temple to talk about her experience,” he said. “I know her sister’s bat mitzvah is coming up, so maybe I’ll catch up with her then.”

Stern said that he, too, was stunned by the IOC’s refusal to hold a moment of silence.

“I’m happy to hear any other explanation,” Stern said. “But short of some racist grudge somebody is holding, I can’t figure out why it would be a terrible thing to do.” Stern said he watched the routine and was blown away. Even so, he said he is more proud of Raisman’s gold mettle than he is of the new jewelry around her neck.

“I have to say, the statement just warmed me to the very depths of my being,” Stern said.

He compared it to the iconic black-power, raised-fist protest made by track stars John Carlos and Tommie Smith on the medal stand at the 1968 Mexico City Games. “They’re not going to forget that,” the rabbi said. “I certainly won’t.” source – NY Post

TRIUMPH OF THE WILL: Hundreds Of Anti-Israel Pro-Hamas Protesters Swarm New York University And Police Plaza HQ Chanting ‘Zionists Must Go!’

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Anti-Israel protesters armed with flares marched toward NYPD headquarters late Monday night after the number of students arrested at NYU reportedly rose to over 150.

Things have gotten so bad for the Jews that any day now I am expecting to read reports of glass windows of Jewish storekeepers being smashed and yellow stars being once again affixed to the lapels of the hated Zionists. Lest you think I am using hyperbole, last night in New York City, hundreds of rioters chanting “Gaza, Gaza!!” and “Zionists Must Go!!” as they stormed the local universities as well as New York Police Headquarters, demanding the end of Israel and the extermination of the Jews from the Middle East. Suddenly, it’s 1933 all over again. Time to pick a side, Christian. I stand with the Zionists.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

I was not alive when Hitler came to power, so there is nothing I could do about all that. But I am alive right now, and God has given me a platform that reaches the whole world. Christian, don’t sit this one out on the sidelines, get in the game and be very vocal. Our Saviour is the King of the Jews, Jesus of Nazareth, and these are His chosen people caught in the crossfire. Stand for the Jew, stand with Israel, and be as much of a blessing to them as you can be. You will be graded on it later. A great place to start is by ordering a box of these ‘Love The Jewish People’ gospel tracts, and start handing them out where the Lord has planted you. If you have the guts.

Anti-Israel protesters carry flares to march on NYPD HQ after over 150 arrested at NYU

FROM THE NY POST: Videos of Monday night’s protests show demonstrators holding bright flares over their heads while marching toward One Police Plaza while others waved flags, banged drums and chanted “Gaza.”

Other clips show NYPD officers in riot gear monitoring protesters who chant “We will free Palestine, within our lifetime.”

By late Monday, more than 150 protesters had been arrested as the NYU camp was broken up, sources told PIX 11. The NYPD could not confirm that number early Tuesday. A spokesperson for NYU said “disorderly, disruptive and antagonizing” protesters packed Gould Plaza, prompting the university to send the NYPD a written request for them to intervene. Protesters were demanding NYU divest from weapons manufacturers and end the school’s relationship with Tel Aviv University. Some staff at the downtown university were also seen joining the rally.

Videos shared online allegedly show dozens of NYU faculty members linking arms to try and prevent the NYPD from moving in on the student’s encampment. On Sunday, a prominent rabbi at the school urged Columbia and Barnard students to stay home — and university officials told them they could take classes online.

Their protests also followed last week’s congressional hearing with Columbia President Minouche Shafik, who spoke about the university’s response to antisemitism. Dozens were also arrested at Yale Monday and other campsites have been pitched on campus quads from Michigan to Massachusetts. READ MORE

Tucker Carlson Interviews Anti-Israel Pastor From ‘Christ At The Checkpoint’ Ministry In Palestinian Controlled Bethlehem That Promotes Antisemitism

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Tucker Carlson interviewed an anti-Israel pastor from the Palestinian Authority-controlled city of Bethlehem, portraying his views as representative of Christians “in the region — in Gaza, the West Bank, and in Israel proper.”

Over the years, I have been very pro-Tucker, have agreed with him in the vast majority of instances and issues, even going to far as to brand him ‘The Last Truth Teller’ back in 2020. Well, he did not tell the truth in his latest interview with the pastor of a pro-Palestinian group called ‘Christ At The Checkpoint’ which hates the Jews and Israel. Tucker presented Isaac as a Christian who well represents the Christian position with regards to Israel, when in fact this Jew-hating “pastor” does no such thing. Shame on you, Tucker, shame on you.

“And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.” Deuteronomy 28:37 (KJB)

While we are on the subject, in recent weeks Tucker has becoming increasingly antisemitic himself, which is distressing to see. Israel right now is bracing for what all channels are saying will be a strong attack by Iranian forces and proxies, and the Jews need US aid and support like never before. Tucker, you said a few months ago you had started reading your bible for yourself, perhaps you missed the dozens and dozens of references where God calls the Jews His chosen people. If you want the biblical position held by Bible believing Christians about Israel and Jews, please feel free to book me as your next guest. I will be happy to do that. Am Yisrael Chai.

Tucker Carlson Interviews Anti-Israel and Antisemitic ‘Pastor’ from Palestinian-run Bethlehem

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Carlson interviewed Rev. Munther Isaac of Bethlehem for the latest episode of his show, Tucker Carlson Uncensored. Isaac is an activist who opposes evangelical Christian support for Israel and says Jews do not need Israel to feel safe. Isaac also recently posted about “76 years” of “suffering and pain” since Israel was created in 1948, suggesting he does not think Israel should exist. (Palestinians and several Arab states attacked Israel at its founding, and lost the war.)

Carlson did not provide any of this context, but merely presented Isaac as an authority on how Israel treats Christians.

Christians worship freely in Israel, and make up almost 2% of the population. (Jews are roughly 80%; most of the remainder are Muslim Arabs, along with Druze and other ethnic groups.) The Christian population of Israel is growing — one of the few places in the Middle East where that is true. Moreover, Christian Arabs are among the most successful groups in Israel in terms of economic achievement.

Isaac also criticized the Abraham Accords, a peace treaty between Israel and several Arab countries that has endured the war. His primary interest is not peace, but rather the advancement of the Palestinian struggle against Israel.

Carlson added his own commentary, criticizing “self-professed Christians” in the U.S. who are “sending money to oppress Christians” in the Palestinian territories. He added that some “evangelical leaders care much more about the highly secular government of Israel than they care about Christian communities in the Middle East.”

The pastor blamed “Zionism” — the belief that Jews have the right to self-determination in their spiritual homeland — for that.

Isaac also blamed U.S. support for Israel for the Hamas terror attack on October 7, and repeated dubious claims against the Israeli military, such that Israeli snipers killed two people in a church in Gaza (which the IDF rejects).

He also falsely claimed that people in Gaza are not able to obtain medical care, and cannot travel to hospitals in Israel. In fact, many Israelis, including some later attacked by Hamas on October 7, drove Palestinians to Israeli hospitals. Gaza had many hospitals prior to the war, and patients do travel to Israel to receive specialized care. It can be difficult to arrange, but it is a priority for Israeli physicians — or it was, at least, prior to the war. (Ironically, Hamas’s Gaza leader, Yahya Sinwar, was saved from cancer by Israeli doctors while serving tim in an Israeli prison.)

Carlson suggested that the U.S. cut off all aid to Israel if a single Christian was harmed by its military operations. He overlooked the fact that Bethlehem was a prosperous city with a flourishing Christian majority when it was under Israeli control following the 1967 war, until after the Palestinian Authority took control in 1995.

That Strange Pin That Actors At The Oscars Were Wearing Is Code For Startling Jew Hatred By Group Called ‘Artists4CeaseFire’ Who Support Hamas

Hollywood actors put on a disgusting display of antisemitism at the Oscars by wearing that weird pin of the bloody red hand that literally means ‘kill the Jews’

The actors we’re talking about are hugely famous, Mark Ruffalo of ‘The Incredible Hulk’ fame and Billie Eilish who just won a record-setting pair of Oscars, and are very influential among their peers. They along with many of their fellow actors wore a strange red pin of a bloody hand with a black heart in the middle. What does it stand for, you ask? It refers to two IDF soldiers who were murdered by Palestinians, and one of their killers held up the bloody hand of the Jew they had just killed, showing it off as a trophy.

“For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14 (KJB)

Why type of demented psychopath would wear a pin commemorating the Palestinians who killed Jews? Only the Artists4CeaseFire who support the very same Palestinians who killed those Jews referenced on that pin. It would be like wearing a pin with an image of bones sticking out of an oven to show solidarity with the Nazis who threw them in there. Hollywood is a sick, sick place, and it’s stories like these that make me very happy I gave up my membership in the Screen Actors Guild. As for me and my house, we stand with the Jews, we stand with Israel, and we pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

You’ll be shocked at the true meaning of the red pin worn by Billie Eilish and Mark Ruffalo

FROM THE NY POST: The Hollywood left loves a good, old-fashioned Jew-lynching: Just ask Mark Ruffalo, Billie Eilish and Ava DuVernay. All those boldface names were among the stars sporting “bloody hand of resistance” pins at the Oscars.

The pins show a raised, red open palm and are marketed under the ultra-chic “Artists4CeaseFire” label.

But that symbol derives from an actual photo of a bloody hand:

Back in 2000, two Jewish IDF reservists mistakenly drove through Ramallah and were detained by Palestinian police — and then brutally murdered in their jail cell by a crowd of savage, blood-hungry thugs, one of whom showed his bloodied hand in a now-infamous photo.

That is, like so much of American “advocacy” for Palestinians, the pins are a wink-wink, nudge-nudge endorsement of violent terror against Jews. It’s no coincidence that these stars are hard leftoids: Institutional antisemitism is now part of the American left’s core DNA. READ MORE 

Billie Eilish, Mark Ruffalo wear red pins to the 2024 Oscars to call for Israel-Hamas war ceasefire

Billie Eilish, Finneas, Mark Ruffalo, Ava DuVernay, Ramy Youssef and Mahershala Ali were among the celebrities who wore red pins on their pricey garments Sunday night to show their support for Gaza in the deadly war, and to show their hatred of Israel.
