Back from his trip to the USA, Bibi Netanyahu chose a New Year toast to announce that he intends on “removing all the illegal aliens” from downtown Tel Aviv. In recent years thousands of infiltrators from Eritrea and Sudan have poured into Israel, settling primarily in South Tel Aviv.
“What happens to countries that fail to keep their borders secure? They are flooded with infiltrators,” said Netanyahu, who added, “We stopped the infiltration into Israel.”’
The Prime Minister continued, ” “60 thousand illegals entered. Until today we have already removed 20 thousand, and we will remove another 20 thousand. We’ll remove all the illegal aliens because they are illegal, even the ones in southern Tel Aviv.”
With open border policy the new norm for the global security state, fighting back against is a must. This is what makes Trump so disliked by the liberals. He simply says it like it is. With national sovereignty at stake in such a small country like Israel, any large scale influx of migrants can alter the population make up significantly.
After many years, it appears that the brutal civil war in Syria is significantly shifting in Bashar Assad’s favor. The Syrian Armed Forces, with relentless assistance from Russia, Turkey and Hezbollah/Iran, are advancing in all areas of the country against the various rebel factions. The rebel factions including ISIS, the former Al-Qaeda affiliate, the somewhat secular/somewhat democratic rebels, and numerous other small Sunni militias, are all in retreat.
Despite the savage barbarism seen throughout the conflict, including the use of chemical weapons, execution of civilians, torture, rape and sieges by all sides, the previous long-standing general stalemate seemingly has been in the strategic interest of the State of Israel. As long as no side could win in Syria, no side could afford to be overtly aggressive to the neighboring countries.
However, all indications are that this will now change. Along with ferocious fighting in Aleppo, the Syrian armed forces and their allies are reportedly massing near the Golan Heights area, planning to eradicate the eclectic rebel presence in the area, primarily around the symbolic and strategic city of Quneitra. Now is the time for the Israeli Government to threaten to conquer Quneitra, again! (Quneitra was conquered by Israel during the “Six Day War” in 1967 and foolishly returned to Syria after the Yom Kippur War in 1973.)
Quneitra and the surrounding area
By threatening to conquer Quneitra, again, Israel will be sending a clear and real message to Assad that a permanent Hezbollah/Iranian presence there is out of the question. While the current situation of various radical jihadist forces in Quneitra is also wholly unacceptable, until now, its has been manageable. Its possible that when the dust settles, Assad will emerge victorious and strengthened. And its possible he will turn to his historic allies, Alawites, the Druze and others to rebuild his country. And maybe there is a possibility that he will look to abandon Iran/Hezbollah and forge peace with his neighbors. But for now, that’s wishful thinking – Shimon Peres style. And we’ve unfortunately seen where that can lead.
An Israeli conquest of Quneitra may become a strategic necessity and it might happen pretty soon. In the meantime, Assad should clearly understand that Hezbollah will not be opening a new front against Israel in the Golan Heights. And if he can’t understand that, then the State of Israel needs grow in size a bit and registration should be opened for the new Jewish residents of Quneitra.
Moments after Donald Trump gave the above interview, the leftwing media in America rolled out the typical Trump is a bigot card. Yet, the Israel comparison they had a hard time with. So the media downplayed Israel’s use of profiling only to their international airport hoping to make The Donald appear naive or stupid.
Most people who have travelled to Israel know that the airport is not the extent of the security forces use of profiling. Israel profiles everywhere and for good reason. Generation after generation of conflict has proven that it is one group primarily perpetrating attacks on Israeli civilians and this group are the Arabs.
What Trump is saying is that America needs to profile like Israel in every way and yes Trump is right.
This may bother many people, but when there is one group who is responsible for all of the religiously inspired terror attacks that group needs to be profiled. It has saved countless lives in Israel and will potentially save more in America.
This is not to say that all attacks will be prevented, but many more will. The moment Americans recognize there is a war going on and it is happening from within their society, they will be far more eager to apply Israeli tactics to solving their law enforcement problems. It’s either that or the Muslim communities in America can do it themselves.
Now that is not going to happen.
Radical Islam is no joke. It is not just another religious belief set, but rather a supremacist ideology bent on winning at all costs.
Al Quds University, the Palestinian University in “East” Jerusalem actually situated in Abu Dis opened up a chapter just moments from the Temple Mount, site of the two destroyed Jewish Temples and the holiest site to Jews around the world.
In an attempt to appropriate and strengthen the Islamic and Arab narrative in the Old City of Jerusalem, Al Quds in the Old City is financed by the EU and other Palestinian Authority backers.
The area the Al Quds Jerusalem branch is located in is in between the Temple Mount, the Northern Jewish Quarter and the famous Kotel HaKatan (Small Western Wall). This area is more than just strategic, but historically and religiously significant to Jews. The Northern Jewish Quarter was the home to a thriving Jewish community up until the Arab pogroms of th 1920’s and 1930’s as well a few minutes walk from the now renovated Synagogues in the area.
By the Arabs making a play for the area they are attempting to alter the fragile balance in a Jewishly historic area of the Old City.
The purpose of this article is to open a window in understaning the New War over the Old City of Jerusalem. It is not the traditional war of 1967, but a more subtle one which can only be understood within th econtext of Islam. There are two classifications of land in Islam: Dar Al-Islam (land under Sharia law) and Dar Al-Harab (land yet to be conquered).
The Land of Israel occupies a sort of middle ground. Although the Jews conquered the Land in full in 1967, many areas have been left to operate in almost full submission to Sharia. The Old City is interesting because it has both and the satus quo of Sharia is being challenged with more Jews moving into Previously Muslim/Arab only areas.

This isn’t to say Jews don’t have their place in Dar Al-Islam. Our place is very clear traditionally. It is calle dbeing a Dhimmi. The Dhimmi is any non-Muslim who lives second class under the Sharia.
The Quaran 9:29 gives a glimpse as to what this means: :Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day…Until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.”
The main body of law that dictates relationships between Muslims and non-Muslims is the Pact of Umar, which includes sc rules as:
No outward signs designating non-Muslim worship
One must give his seat to a Muslim
No non-Muslim may have weapons
And my favorite, Dhimmis must wear a Zunar or yellow belt. This was in use in Afghanistan for Hindus up until 2001. These things show where the real fight lies. It is not particular to land but to the new Jewish refusal to submit. We pray aloud, walk where and how we please and do not leave ourselves defenseless.
In order to win we must continue to live in and traverse these areas according to a Jewish status quo and make it clear that this is indeed not Dar Al-Islam.
