In Israel, Inga Avramyan, 80 years old, died under a collapsing ceiling. The elderly immigrant from Armenia heard the sirens warning of an Islamic terror strike, but did not reach the bomb shelter in time because she was trying to help her disabled husband make it along with her.
Sergei, Inga’s husband, had lost a leg in a car accident and needed a wheelchair to get around. The rocket smashed through the side of the building, the ceiling collapsed and Inga was killed.
Four days before the Islamic Jihad rocket killed Inga, Senator Bernie Sanders helped host an event promoting Islamic Jihad in the Senate building.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had canceled a House event by antisemitic politician Rep. Rashida Tlaib commemorating ‘Nakba Day’: the Arab name for mourning the failed effort by invading Muslim armies to exterminate Israel’s Jewish population.
“I think it’s outrageous that Speaker McCarthy threw them out of a room they had reserved,” Sanders fumed.
The socialist senator then arranged to have the terrorist supporters host their event promoting the destruction of the Jewish State by abusing his chairmanship of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee to use its hearing room.
What does the Senate’s oversight of pensions have to do with destroying Israel? Ask Bernie.
Inside the event, Noura Erakat boasted, “It is of utmost importance to say that here because we are within the very institution that has sustained the ongoing Nakba.”
The “institution” is the United States government and the ‘Nakba’ is the existence of Israel.
In Canada, Erakat had generated a political controversy when a Ontario New Democratic Party (ONDP) politician had retweeted her message calling dead Islamic Jihad leader Khader Adnan a “martyr”. In the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington D.C., Erakat read a quote about “resisting”, a euphemism for terrorism, from the dead Islamic Jihad terrorist.
Islamic Jihad is not just a problem for Israel. The terrorist group was spun off from the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamic Jihad operation in Egypt. That terror group, often described as Egyptian Islamic Jihad, to avoid confusion, became part of Al Qaeda and eventually took it over.
In the months before 9/11, Islamic Jihad and Al Qaeda became a single organization. When Al Qaeda’s hijacked planes killed thousands of Americans, the U.S. Capitol, suspected to be the target of the last plane, was rapidly evacuated.
Now Al Qaeda’s stepbrother terrorists are hailed in the offices of the United States Senate.
Khader Adnan, hailed in the offices of the United States Senate, has been described by the media as an “activist”, “detainee” and a “hunger striker”. Those are long-winded ways of saying terrorist. The “martyr”, whose hunter strike was a prolonged suicide plan, can be seen on video at the funeral of another terrorist urging the crowd on to more attacks.
“Who among you is Hassan Abu Zaid [i.e., suicide bomber, who murdered seven people]” he demanded. “Who among you is the next Martyrdom-seeker? Who among you has the next explosive belt? Who among you will carry out the next shooting?”
The New York Times responded by comparing the Islamic Jihad terrorist to Gandhi. And the Senate allowed Bernie Sanders to hijack its facilities to hold an event promoting the destruction of Israel and celebrating an Islamic terrorist.
There’s no room in the Senate to discuss an 80-year-old woman crushed under a ceiling while trying to help her amputee husband reach safety, but there’s always room to praise terrorists.
It’s not Noura Erakat’s first time in Congress.
When Pelosi and the Democrats took Congress, Erakat, a key BDS figure, became a legal counsel for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. She attained this position even though her uncle, Saeb Erakat, was a top official in the PLO terrorist group. Her cousin, Ahmed Erekat, was killed carrying out a Car Jihad attack after injuring a female officer.
This is the murderous terrorism that House and Senate Democrats choose to enable.
Senator Bernie Sanders who, when politically convenient, occasionally claims to be Jewish was not outraged over the murder of Inga Avramyan by Islamic Jihad terrorism, he was outraged that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had denied Rep. Rashida Tlaib space in which to promote the terrorists trying to kill Jews.
The only reason that Rep. Tlaib had to resort to the socialist senator’s assistance was that Republicans held the House Majority. Had Pelosi and the Democrats still been in charge, there is no doubt that the event celebrating terrorism and attacking Israel would have gone forward.
“People should be allowed to congregate, to have discussions, to express their viewpoints and ideas,” Rep. Pete Aguilar, the third ranking House Democrat, had complained about Speaker McCarthy’s decision to cancel Tlaib’s ‘Nakba’ event “That’s who we are.”
Supporting Islamic terrorists killing Jews is who the Democrats are.
Senate Democrats, who could have intervened and stopped this ugliness, carefully ignored it. Senate Majority Leader Schumer’s allies claimed that he was “totally unaware of this event.”
Senator Bill Cassidy, the Republican ranking member on the pension committee, condemned Senate Democrats for allowing the hearing room to be used to “legitimize anti-Semitic bigotry.”
Once controversial, antisemitic House members like Rep. Tlaib and Rep. Omar, have been embraced by Biden and the Democrat establishment. When Speaker McCarthy booted Rep. Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee, Democrats held the line in supporting the antisemitic politician. The hatefest at the Dirksen Office Building shows where the Democrats are headed.
Democrats defiled the Capitol by turning into a haven for celebrating the Islamic Jihad terrorists who are backed by Iran and are closely related to Al Qaeda. They did it while Islamic Jihad was firing rockets into Israel in a ruthless effort to kill any Jewish people in their path.
Islamic Jihad celebrated Inga’s murder by gloating that “our Palestinian people raise their heads high with this blessed and sacred response from the Palestinian resistance.”
What better way for the Arab Muslim invaders to “raise their heads high” than with the “blessed and sacred” murder of an 80-year-old Jewish woman.
Perhaps Senator Bernie Sanders can arrange to allow Rep. Rashida Tlaib to hold an event celebrating this latest heroic “resistance” of the Islamic Jihad in the Senate office building.
Bernie says, “Let there be a meeting”. And there was a meeting.
And it was good?
It absolutely had to be?
No one could stop it?
Or, did everyone in the US Congress, everyone, really want the show to go on?
Was this event invitation only? Behind locked doors?
Classified?
Who couldn’t simply walk into a room?
This is what these foreign agents, these so called nakba-ites get to do when elected to Congress: to represent anti-Semites as a legitimate constituency and to plead, lie, incite and especially publicize, in the guise of being a public servant, their cause.
People should know that Israel Independence Day is celebrated in Israel on its Hebrew calendar date, the 5th day in the month of Iyar, which coincided with the Gregorian, solar calendar date of May 14th, in 1948.
Being lunar, that date will very rarely coincide with the solar. For example, the Hebrew date of the Gregorian May 14th this year was the 23rd of Iyar.
Rashida knows this. This date has nothing to do with Muslims, who have their own calendar. The Muslim calendar date of May 14th doesn’t jive with the “American” date. She and her fellows consider this propaganda made up nakba day to be every day. They just tone it down for the Americans; it’s like having just one formal family day of “Thanksgiving”.
“:No one could stop it?”
Still waiting for the Republican Party , as a group, to go stark raving berserk about an issue, any issue. Something anything please…. The dem’s go berserk about something every week as standard operating procedure.
The only people more pathetic than an increasingly anti-Semitic Democrat Party are the liberal Jews who vote for them, over and over again.
I remember reading your newpaper columns, Mr. Alert, years ago, but I don’t recall which in paper they were published. I was in the greater New York area at the time. Thanks for your excellent comment here.
Spellcheck strikes again. Ahlert, not Alert. Sorry.,
I remember now. You were a columnist for the New York Post, circa 2007.
Don’t lose sight of the fact that the Jewish population in the US is small. The Jewish impact on elections is not that significant . There is a perhaps a hint of Jew dislike, if not outright hatred, in those who constantly moan about the very small Jewish vote. We don’t have nearly as much influence on election outcomes as many think we do.
Did you know that of the 33% of American Jews who voted R in the midterms, ~25 of those points are men? 1/2 of the American Jewish population are men. Close to 50% of American Jewish men are Republicans. Jewish republicans have an outreach problem with Jewish women. A little MALE leadership reaching into the female Jewish population might make a dent in that.
The pos Sanders should have stayed in the USSR when he went there for his honeymoon. And all you Dems, remember that just a few weeks ago Joseph Robinette Biden was telling Tlaib how beautiful the ugly ogre is. Then keep voting for these people. They’re the “good guys,” after all.
Yes, and his honeymoon in the USSR took place while the Soviets were actively persecuting Jews.
Sanders an unrepentant Communist has been a self hatingJew as well for decades
Where is Chuck Schumer on this?
AWOL. which the illiterate call MIA even though those are two very different concepts. The latter is honorable, the former is not.
The Jewish votes in America, no matter what party gets them, simply because of the math, are negligible.
The oxymoronic, cognitive dissonance of being a Jewish democrat is distressing – but
Non-Jews determine who gets elected in America.
American Jews like to think they are part of the American whole; but they delude themselves.
When the world is filled with righteous gentiles, then it will be a new dawn…
L’chaim!
The Democrats are bigger treat to America then any outside enemy ever was or ever will be they want a disarmed American People and Open Borders they w ant the New World Order and One World Government under the UN, s Control
That demonic and insidious leftist- Islamic alliance against Israel ,of which Bernie Sanders and Rashida Tlaib are part of , is striving against the Will of God. This because God is for Israel , He even views her His “special treasure” Psalm 135:4. [N.K.J.V] Thus even if that people in that movement are too ignorant to know that make them on the side of evil and darkness.
Sanders and his comrade Tlaib ,along with those others Israel haters of that leftist-Islamic with their malice scheming and actions against the Jewish State of Israel is a very strong reflection of truth of the Bible , which informs it’s reader in Proverbs 11:21. “Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished.”

I was in Israel years ago when the Palestinians had been bombing Siderot in Northern Israel for many months daily. The children had to go to an underground playard that had been built for schooling and play time and did so for many years. Intentionally killing children is unforgivable.
My kids were living in Ofakim. People in Sderot had 15 seconds to get into the shelter after the alarm started. In Ofakim, you had 45. Even 45 seconds is not much time for two parents to grab the 5 year old and the 3 year old by the hand, scoop the newborn out of the crib, and get everyone down 5 flights of stairs and into the shelter.
And when the parents have more kids than hands (large families are common in Israel) and the kids are not in one place —-
Muslims are experts with knives, that’s one reason the left advocates gun control.
The war on terrorism ended the day Obama decreed that official government documents would no longer use troublesome words like terrorism and Jihad. But we blame everything on Obama. I remember when President Reagan used US Marines to escort the PLO out of Lebanon. I thought Marines were supposed to kill bad guys?
That socialist , Bernie Sanders and jihad-minded political comrade Rashida Tlaib alone with the violent jihad terror /murder organizations they so much admire and support ,such Islamic Jihad, Hamas ,Hezbollah and so forth
Both Sanders and Tlaib along with the jihadists who make up those deadly Islamic terror groups are all very ignorant of the facts that they are all overruled by God This is so is because according to the Bible the Jews have all the land that now makes up the State of Israel ,including the West Bank by Divine Right. As found in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105: 7-11. 135: 4.
As the Bible in Psalm 135:4 reads “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.” [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, the Jews should have all this land by historic rights. As seen in First Kings 4; 20,21,24,25. 8:55, 56.
May Mumbles Bernie take one more breath and drop dead.
The sooner the better for this KAPO piece of crap.
Islam has been at war since the Caliph of Damascus commissioned the writing of the Koran. Before that, Arab tribes who had never heard of the mythical Mohammed conquered the Mediterranean and extinguished civilization there for generations. The civilized world has been on the defense against this darkness ever since. Even the raids into the Levant to recapture Jerusalem were temporary reactions to the onslaught, not a well-constructed campaign to restore Christendom, which once reached throughout North Africa, across the Middle East to the edge of India, and all over Europe.
Until the west comes to grips with the aim of the Islamists, complete domination of the planet in the name of their false god, and until western leaders stop pretending we can coexist with evil, the enemy will prevail.
DEMS are a modern re-incarnation of ancient pagan barbarians………something like Philistines or Canaanites.
Every year that passes they revert more and more to their ancient root.
So of course they become more hostile to the Jews as the process unfolds.
