“The reason that I could not appeal to [Hamas] as a Muslim is that they had already killed my wife.” ~ Hamid Abu Ar’ara, a Bedouin who survived an attack by Hamas militants on October 7th.

More than 300,000 pro-Palestinian protesters march in Washington DC. A sign advocates cleaning the world of Jews.
For the past six months I’ve been “undercover” researching a project which I plan to reveal in my second THE BIG PICTURE essay due out in December. Despite the strain this put on my ability to keep up with my Break Free writing and on my health, this promises to be one of my most inspirational essays to date—and that’s the exact opposite of what I expected. I can’t wait to share what I learned during this incredible time.
In October, I published my first THE BIG PICTURE, How Anthrax & the War on Terror Brought Us to the Brink of WWIII, which includes former US Airforce personnel, Robyn Ruffo’s account of how the anthrax vaccine destroyed her health and career. If you haven’t read/listened to the essay yet, you can do so HERE.
Some essays I’m working on to look forward to: Zuckerberg’s Magical, Marvelous Metaverse is Hell on Earth; Hard Facts: From the River to the Sea; Out of the Sahara: a prayer for peace and the My World Project.
Okay, here are some of the most informative, terrifying and inspiring stories that I found this month.
Let’s start with some Bizzaro World stuff—the unveiling of Vienna’s new fountain, celebrating 150 years of the city’s natural spring water supply, at a cost of 1.8 million Euros of taxpayer money.
Contrast that modern monstrosity with this Vienna fountain created in 1902.
And ask yourself this: Is humanity progressing or not?
#wearamask isn’t going anywhere.
In fact, I’ve noticed more and more people putting masks back on, here in Phoenix and in Los Angeles. This illustrates how successful the media has been at dividing people into two camps, each one thinking that the others are the stupid, contaminated, dangerous ones.
It’s not a crisis, it’s an invasion.
CBP revealed that in September there were 269,735 encounters with illegal immigrants attempting to cross into the country, the highest number ever recorded, and that close to 2.5 MILLION have crossed the border this fiscal year.
How many actually made it into the country? Well, Border Patrol released over 900,000 illegal immigrants into the interior of the United States in Fiscal Year 2023.
Across the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom, hundreds of thousands are protesting and rioting against Israel and in solidarity with Palestine…
An elderly Jewish man has died after being struck by a Pro-Palestinian protester in Los Angeles
The incident took place in Thousand Oaks. This hits home for me, since I am returning to Thousand Oaks in a couple of weeks.
It’s not about Palestine, it’s about hatred of Jews.
But as I have warned many times in my essays, we are being pushed towards extremism. The more incidents like this that occur, the more hatred will build on both sides. This is an escalation of what we saw during the BLM riots. Being a Jewish or Muslim parent in America right now (or the UK, or Germany, etc.) must be terrifying. I would fear for my children going to school every day. We must do all we can to stand against hatred and extremism.
Three Jewish students at Cornell, Barnard and NYU talk about what it now means to be Jewish on college campuses in America.
In the interview below, they describe how hearing words thrown around on college campuses and in protests, such calling for an “intifada”, “gas the Jews”, “Hitler was right” in such a careless way is harmful and devastating. These are not calls for peace. These are not calls for Palestinian rights. These are calls for the blood of Jews to be shed. Historically, we know it doesn’t take much to spark antisemitism. This is how it starts, with propaganda, with antisemitic rhetoric…
Suddenly, “diversity” and “inclusion” do not include Jews.
At Cornell University professors are saying they are exhilarated by Hamas’s actions. They said this after the arrest of a student posting threats to “slit the throats of Jews on campus”, to “throw them off cliffs”, to “bomb their living facilities and the only kosher dining hall on campus”. Professors are telling Jewish students that they are the real oppressor and that the Jews deserve what came for them.
Some of the comments these articulate young women made during the interview: This is Jew hatred, plain and simple. This is something that must have been bubbling beneath the surface. For so many people to have rallied so quickly, before Israel even launched its ground response. People took to the streets not even four days after the attack on Israel to protest for the Palestinian people. Israel had not even responded yet. So right there you see this anger towards the Jewish people towards the Jewish state all ready to go, already boiled up.
Thankfully, more than 300 Ivy League Faculty Members from Columbia University and Barnard College signed an open letter expressing their dismay at the recent surge in antisemitic incidents on campus:
Here’s a video highlighting protests around the world:
Where, one might ask, are the protests against Hamas, the terrorist organization that holds not only over 200 Israeli hostages, but its own people, the Palestinians, hostage. I could not find one protest demanding the arrest and conviction of Hamas’s leaders as war criminals. Why aren’t protestors demanding that neighboring Arab states take in Palestinian refugees, something they have categorically refused to do.
Below is the extraordinary story of Hamid Abu Ar’ara, a Bedouin father who survived an attack by Hamas militants on October 7th.
He was on his way to work, being driven by his wife, Fatima, when a group of motorcycles passed and started shooting at the car. His wife was killed. Please be warned that this is a disturbing video.
