It’s only a matter of time when what’s happening in Amsterdam and Europe comes here.

I love that you’ve shared Ritchie Torres’ comments here…. He ( like you!) is a true gem, honest, SINCERE and so bright. We need him to rise up and fast!

Yes! And did you see the margins with which he just won his re-election?! Something like 80%!

And why is Torres the lone voice amongst the Dems? Sigh. We do need more of him.

Two things are certain: the Jews will be blamed, and this whole event will be minimized by the media.

It’s happening already: “ Pro-Palestinian activists claimed the Israeli fans were the first to engage in harassment and violence.”

Keep your eyes on Amsterdam. Dutch twitter is on fire right now and I expect a major political fallout. The mayor, Femke Halsema, this year twice allowed pro-Hamas protests. Once during the opening of the Holocaust Museum and the other one within a short distance of the October 7 memorial. The ‘two sides’ argument. The intifada had come to the city from which record numbers of Jews were deported. It was once the beating heart of Jewish life in Europe. What was left of it after the war is being extinguished before our eyes.

Thank G-d for the IDF and thank G-d for Eve! This is terrifying. At least I now know what to write about today. I’m a lifelong Democrat who voted for Trump. For civilization. For Israel. I’m sick of living in a country where the cities are in chaos while rich liberals post “defund the police”. My old friends are having performative meltdowns on social media and I’m like grow up. The economy, immigration and an end to left wing authoritarianism. Will it be great? Doubt it. But the Democrats offered nothing but scripted woke idiocy and were totally silent on what they would do to change things. I live in a poor neighborhood where there is routine looting violence and general lack of order. It’s scary. I can’t go out at night without fear. While snotty brats tending bar at the local pizza shop say “but the Palestinians !” As if. I think President Trump would have the authorities in Amsterdam on the phone right away. I hope so. Time will tell. Meanwhile we should all write and speak up. Love you Eve and global family.

Well said. I’m older and I came to a similar conclusion after 9/11. I have not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since Al Gore (which vote I came to regret deeply.)

Well said. I am profoundly disappointed in the left and have named feeling like a political orphan. And I truly dislike trump. Frankly, I dislike Kamala too. I felt sick voting but I voted. But the truth is, everything you just said hit the bloody nail on the head. I blame the flag burning liberal asshats. I blame the media manipulation. And the populism. And the rape culture. I’m a trauma healer and I’m lit up in my nervous system with my own trauma because of the rape culture at play ad nauseam. I could go on. I won’t. I’m tired and angry. Amsterdam and then whats next? Ugh. Thank you. I’m sorry. I love you. I forgive you. 💙 am Yisrael chai

I was out with friends last night and it was only before bed that I saw a headline that some Jewish soccer fans were attacked in Amsterdam and God help me I’ve become so jaded I basically just thought “Oh, it must be a Thursday”. Had no idea of the scope or depth of the violence. Saw your alert this morning and wanted to note that it was the first, best, and most wide-ranging report so far — my husband started to turn on the news and I said, “Don’t even bother, just read this.”

Wish I had thought to write in Ritchie Torres for President

I am disgusted and horrified watching this pogrom happen …again. Thank Gd for the IDF- thank Gd for Israel.

Shared to both IG and Facebook, with the following comment. Thank you, as always, for your brave reporting.

>>Since I’ve not seen this horrifying story in the mainstream media, sharing as the OP has requested. Israeli soccer fans traveled to watch their favorite soccer team in Amsterdam, and were consequently brutally attacked by radicals in a hate crime of epic proportions. No one should have to fear this type of unsolicited, unmerited, heinous attack. In fact, the entire western world should unilaterally condemn this barbaric attack. <<

I care. I deeply care about the Jewish people. I’m not Jewish, but I wouldn’t mind if I were. In fact, I’d be proud. I am a Canadian🇨🇦 who has not encountered a single person that denies what happened last Oct 7. I don’t understand how or why some people refuse to believe the horror that will forever be remembered in our history. And now Amsterdam. There must be peace, this shit must end. Im just remembering a simple poem called “All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten”, by Robert Fulghum🇺🇸 If only world leaders could be kind to each other, play fair, and share. If only we could all live by the Golden Rule of treating others how we ourselves want to be treated.🩷 I was hoping for Kamala to be President. Maybe next term…I love reading with interest and learning from you, Eve Barlow!🏳️‍🌈

It's time to deport violent Muslim fanatics, and to vote only for politicians that commit to doing so.

It's issue #1.

More information on the Dutch pogrom.

https://www.jns.org/in-amsterdam-anti-israel-pogrom-recalls-pre-holocaust-era/

As for Tuesday, if you’re like my shell shocked friend perhaps your main sources of information are similar - NYTimes, Reuters, CNN, NPR, Jimmy Kimmel. Virulently anti Trump and often anti Israel. Especially the first 3 “news” sources.

On the other hand, if you read the Free Press, Public, Racket, PJ Media, Townhall, TabletMag, JNS, Mosaic, WSJ OpEd, Spectator and dozens of podcasts, beside Joe Rogan who not to long ago supported Bernie Sanders. You may have been exposed to other POVs.

Speaking for myself, not surprised by the landslide, had been commenting on this possibility before Joe was defenestrated by what some folks call the “Syndicate” but is essentially the shadow White House in Kalorama. Our Iranian appeaser-in-Chief.

As for Kamala, she never stood a chance regardless of the toss-up polling lies. Even as her campaign surrogates assured us that she repudiated her positions on the Wall, Fracking, Crime, 2nd Amendment, Court Packing, Defund the police, etc. Even as nothing came to mind when asked if she would have done anything different from Joe.

The happiest man on Wednesday was Joe. His legacy in tact. The only candidate to defeat Trump. Take that for “toxic masculinity.”

Kamala is preternaturally unqualified for the role of CnC. Without lockdown, masking and social distancing, her brief campaign was doomed. There’s evidence that Biden’s endorsement on X (talk about irony) was a big FU to the coup cabal. They had wanted a mini primary and recall it took 5 days for Obama, Pelosi and Schumer to sanction the pick. The PR department for the Progressive Democrat Party - our MSM, simply jumped the gun.

In the end, 45 becomes 47, with landslide victory in ECV, taking back the Senate and most likely retaining the House. In the spirit of bipartisanship, the new Republican majority should take up newly minted Senator, Adam Schiff’s proposed legislation to expand SCOTUS. Never mind….

For those keeping score, Trump came within 5% and change from winning New Hampshire, New Jersey, Illinois, Minnesota and Virgina. This is a seminal realignment of the body politic. Woke got smoked. The 70% of the electorate without 4 year college degrees but doctorates in common sense saved the Republic in my opinion. But respect your POV if you feel otherwise.
