In the 1930s, The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, al-Husseini, revered Adolf Hitler and even met with him in Berlin. Unsuccessful in securing German help against the British, his ally, Hassan al-Bannan was, according to Egypt’s Grand Mufti, Ali Gomaa, able to get 700 of his Muslim Brotherhood trained in Germany in the 1940s (The New Arab 10/13/15).
That influence has continued well after World War II. During the 1972 Munich Olympics, a Palestinian terrorist group called Black September, massacred 11 members of the Israeli team. According to The Independent, Neo-Nazis assisted Black September. That was symbolic as this was the first time Munich hosted the Olympics since Hitler used the 1936 games to promote Nazi ideology on a world platform.
Beginning in 1968, PLO terrorists hijacked airlines including the taking of an Air France flight in 1976 by Palestinian and German terrorists resulting in the daring rescue Raid at Entebbe by an Israeli military force.
Now the Palestinian group, Hamas, which recently attacked Israel according to Reuters, is backed by Iran and shares the Islamist ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood (10/11/23) founded in the 1928 by Hassan al-Bannan.
Many of the radicalized, masked students, screaming about a “Day of Resistance” may be clueless as to the level of brutality and savagery to which these terrorists will resort. Some are probably unaware of what they are “resisting” but some actually do support the butchery. In the words of Victor Davis Hanson, it reveals the level of intellectual rot on many campuses. Hanson’s statement causes me to wonder how many of these student protesters want us to pay their college debt?
Look carefully at the big picture and see how Ukraine and Israel reveal the incompetence at both the UN and White House. Just days ago, Biden’s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan was touting their achievements in the Middle East, among them how the region, “is quieter today than it’s been in decades” (Newsweek 10/9/23). So, Jake, what’s next, Taiwan?

In addition to Mr. Miller's post it may be added Jake Sullivan is the same person who worked for the Hillary Clinton campaign. The New York Post, September 24, 2021, reported on the eve of the 2016 election that Donald Trump and the Russians had set up a “secret hotline” through Alfa Bank and suggested “federal authorities” were investigating “this direct connection between Trump and Russia.”
“This could be the most direct link between Trump and Moscow,” Sullivan stated.
The headline of the New York Post article read, “Did Jake Sullivan commit perjury?” That was a reference to a series of claims Sullivan made about the so-called Russia collusion when he (Sullivan) testified before Congress.
Sullivan also served, along with Hunter Biden, on the board of the Truman National Security Project, a liberal foreign policy think-tank, for two years before joining Joe Biden’s campaign in 2020.
Two questions could be raised:
Based on Sullivan’s history and these Russian statements later debunked, what is he doing advising a president on world affairs carrying such importance? What was Hunter Biden, with his history including being a playboy artist, doing on a foreign policy think-tank board?
