‘Retribution for Their Sacred Blood’: Hezbollah Inspired Synagogue Attack

Posted on | March 30, 2026 | No Comments

Thought of headlining this post “Dearbornistan Update”:

Federal investigators said Monday that the man who crashed his pickup into a Michigan synagogue earlier this month was inspired and radicalized by Iran?backed terrorist group Hezbollah and reportedly sought to kill as many Jewish people as he could.
Officials noted that Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who attempted to launch a full-scale, mass-casualty assault on March 12, deliberately targeted a location filled with more than 100 children in West Bloomfield before he was fatally shot by officers. Local officials previously reported that the assault came after several of his family members were killed in Lebanon during the country’s war with Israel.
In the days leading up to the attack, Ghazali allegedly rigged his truck with booby traps, fireworks, explosives, and large amounts of gasoline. Just before ramming the building, he reportedly sat in the Temple Israel parking lot and sent videos to his sister in Lebanon — some showing him holding a weapon while listening to upbeat militant battle anthems.
“This is the largest gathering of Israelis in the state of Michigan in the United States. I have booby trapped the car. I will forcibly enter and start shooting them. God willing, I will kill as many of them as I possibly can,” he said in one of the videos, according to the FBI Detroit Special Agent in Charge Jennifer Runyon.
James Gorgon, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, added that had the attacker survived, he would have been charged with providing “material support” to Hezbollah for effectively providing himself as the weapon aimed at Michigan’s largest Jewish temple.
According to investigators, Ghazali reportedly consumed pro-Hezbollah and Iranian militant propaganda for months leading up to the attack, ultimately planning what he called a “special operation” aimed at causing mass casualties.
He allegedly created a Facebook album titled “Vengeance,” filled with images of Hezbollah leaders and militant quotes, and also sent his sister a photo of an Israeli flag covered up with yellow paint, a color often used to represent loyalty and sacrifice to Hezbollah.
“You killed the Ali and Hussein of our time. We will avenge their blood,” one of his Facebook status posts said hours before the attack, referencing the overseas deaths of his family members.
“We will seek retribution for their sacred blood,” another post said. “Israel is a cancerous, malignant growth. Israel is pure evil and the oppressors will soon know what kind of end they will meet.”
Within three days prior to the attack, Ghazali researched local synagogues . . . He reportedly purchased an AR-style rifle, 300 rounds of ammunition, and more than $2,200 worth of fireworks.
He filled collapsible containers with roughly 35 gallons of gasoline across multiple trips to use as an explosive accelerant in his truck, adding fireworks to booby-trap the vehicle before ramming it into the synagogue. . . .
During the attack, the suspect ultimately exchanged gunfire with synagogue security and ignited the explosives inside his vehicle after ramming into the temple doors at a high speed. . . .
“I’ve seen some odd attempts to explain away or even lessen this terrorist attack by claiming that he was an isolated lone wolf, but that is misleading,” Gorgon said. “Terrorist propaganda is designed to activate the so-called lone wolf to act on behalf of the terrorist organization.”
“I am convinced that my office would prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed the federal crime of providing material support to Hezbollah,” he added.
Officials noted that the attacker was not on any terrorist watch list and had never been the subject of an FBI investigation before the attack.

How is the Hezbollah propaganda that radicalized this guy any different from the rhetoric of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the Democrat who represents Dearborn in Congress? (See “The Terrorist and the 12th District.”) Some have taken notice of the fact that Ghazali “was not on any terrorist watch list” to suggest that the FBI wasn’t doing its job, but you must realize that if you’re targeting Jew-hating radicals Muslims, basically the entire population of Dearborn would be on a terrorist watch list.



 

‘A Massive Problem’: Free Speech for People Who Don’t Want Open Borders

Posted on | March 30, 2026 | No Comments

Max Wilkinson is member of the British House of Commons, one of 72 members belonging to the Liberal Democrats, currently the third-largest party behind the ruling Labour majority (which holds 404 seats) and the Conservatives (Tories, with 116 seats). In December, Wilkinson “enjoyed a lively debate at the Demos Collaborative Democracy Network event,” where he made the following comments:

“We obviously have social media, which is a massive problem at the moment for engagement. I’m tempted to say, you know, how you make your voice heard as a citizen in 2025 in the UK: set up an X account and start writing some sort of nativist content and it will go ’round the world really, really quickly. Your voice will be heard as quickly as you want it to be, not in a way that I would be comfortable with, and I would suggest not in a way that most people on the panel this evening would be comfortable with, either. But that is a really easy way to get your voice heard: Get some content about how you think immigration is too high, or immigration is the big thing that’s tearing the country apart, et cetera, and that goes around the world because social media, run by the world’s richest man, X, is now making sure that you can have your voice heard in a really easy way that you couldn’t in the past.”

If you’re my age, you may remember when the Left actually claimed to support free speech, and were opposed to censorship. But the U.K. nowadays is like Orwell’s Oceania, where the Left has become so dominant as to make England effectively a one-party regime, and people are literally being arrested for “problematic” Facebook posts.

Wilkinson, like the vast majority of politicians in the UK, despises actual English people, and advocates flooding the country with Muslim foreigners. As he said during the Demos discussion, Wilkinson is not “comfortable with” hearing from anyone who disagrees with that position, so he considers it a “massive problem'” that X allows critics of the open-borders agenda to express themselves.

We can point and laugh at this idiot, but if Democrats win the next election, guess what? They’ll enact censorship and you’ll be at risk of prison if you dare express disagreement with their policies.

Well, it could have been worse. The Senators got swept in a two-game series against the Orioles last Tuesday, thanks mostly to the O’s powerful lineup, but then the Phillies arrived, and we whipped them in two out of our three games, losing only to Steve Carlton, who almost had a no-hitter against us into the fifth inning but left with a 4-1 win. So now we’re 65-70, eight games behind the Twins and five ahead of Pete’s Brewers. This week, we have three-game series at Kansas City and Baltimore, and I am not optimistic.

Thinking About Mogadishu

Posted on | March 29, 2026 | No Comments

Last night, I was inspired to watch Black Hawk Down again, although I’ve seen it many times before, including during its original 2001 release. Perhaps you’ve forgotten this from 2022:

Staff Sgt. Robert McCain wanted to be in the Army for as long as his mother can remember. But McCain remembers exactly when he knew he’d be a soldier someday: The first time he watched “Black Hawk Down.”
“I was like nine and I saw that movie — which you should not show a nine-year-old that movie — and I wanted to join the Army from then on,” he told Task & Purpose on Sunday.
Not only did McCain go on to be an infantryman in the Army like he’d dreamed, but over the weekend he competed in the 2022 Best Ranger Competition, a brutal battle of grit and skill among elite Airborne Ranger-qualified service members. . . .

That story still makes me smile. The intensity of that movie, which I took Bob and his twin brother Jim to see when it first came out, sort of caught me by surprise at the time. I grew up watching war movies like The Longest Day, and the TV series Combat, and playing with G.I. Joes, and so the thought of taking my kids to see a war movie seemed like a great idea. The graphic realism of Black Hawk Down was, as Bob later told that reporter, maybe too much for a 9-year-old, even if it did inspire his future career ambitions. In case you haven’t subscribed to my Substack newsletter yet, you may not understand why I bring that up now, given that I start today by talking about the war in Ukraine:

How closely have you followed the war in Ukraine lately? There was as a time, in 2022 and 2023, when I regularly kept track of developments in that war, but then it settled down into a de facto stalemate — trench warfare, with little change in the front lines — and I lost interest. Most Americans were even less interested in the war than I was, except perhaps as a partisan talking point for the kind of people with Ukrainian flags in their social-media profiles. After the dramatic events of early 2022, when Ukraine defeated the initial Russian effort to capture Kyiv, there just wasn’t enough battlefield news to maintain public interest. Incidentally, nobody has any idea how many casualties there have been in the Russia-Ukraine war. Propaganda by both sides has made it impossible to ascertain how many troops have been killed and wounded, although it seems certain that the death toll is in the tens of thousands.
Just this past week, however, I happened to see a report that Ukraine has driven the Russians out of Kupyansk, a city straddling the Oskil River, nearly 400 miles east of Kyiv. . . .

You can read the whole thing at Substack, and if you haven’t subscribed yet, please do so now. Also, please pray for peace.



 

An Unjustified Arrogance

Posted on | March 28, 2026 | No Comments

Rory Stewart and his wife Shoshana

The word “diplomat” is often a synonym for spy. The functions of diplomacy and espionage are so closely intertwined that if someone’s resumé includes a stint at the State Department, you are not wrong to suspect them of also being a CIA operative. Over the past decade, Americans have learned that our “intelligence community” does not merely spy on foreigners or seek to subvert hostile regimes overseas, but is also willing and able to foment “color revolutions” right here. But the subject at hand this morning is not Hillary Clinton and John Brennan. Rather I would call your attention to British politician Rory Stewart, currently on the faculty of Yale University:

Born in British Hong Kong, Stewart attended the Dragon School and Eton College. . . . Stewart studied philosophy, politics and economics (PPE) at Balliol College, Oxford. After graduating he joined the Foreign Office, holding diplomatic positions in Indonesia and Montenegro. . . . Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Stewart was involved in the Coalition Provisional Authority in the Maysan province. He founded and ran the Turquoise Mountain Foundation, an NGO focused on human development in Afghanistan, before becoming a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School. He joined the Conservative Party in 2009.
Stewart served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Penrith and The Border between 2010 and 2019, representing the Conservative Party. . . . He was a minister throughout Theresa May’s government: as Minister of State for International Development, Africa, and Prisons. He joined the Cabinet and National Security Council as Secretary of State for International Development. . . .
Stewart was born in 1973 in Hong Kong, then under British rule . . . Stewart’s father was a colonial official and diplomat who, in the 1970s, was reportedly a candidate to become the Chief of the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service or MI6.

If that’s not the biography of an intelligence operative, I don’t know what is. Rory Stewart was literally born into MI6, went straight from Oxford into the Foreign Office — hint, hint — and at age 30 turned up running the occupation government of Iraq, and went straight from there to Afghanistan where he founded an NGO — hint, hint — then returned to England where he joined the Tory party and magically got elected to Parliament. In all of this, he has been associated with failure, serving in the cabinet of the disastrous Theresa May ministry, unsuccessfully opposing Brexit, and ultimately quitting the Tories in a tantrum. His political career was bookended by Ivy League faculty sinecures:

In July 2008, Stewart was appointed to the faculty of the John F. Kennedy School of Government as Ryan Family Professor of Human Rights at Harvard University and director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, having previously been a fellow at the Carr Center from 2004 to 2005. He left his position to campaign for Parliament. He returned to academia as a senior fellow at Yale University’s Jackson Institute in 2020.

He’s a “senior fellow,” you see! His wife Shoshana (née Clark) is an American, an alumna of swanky Williams College who joined Stewart’s Afghanistan “development” NGO as an intern and of course ended up married to the boss, who is 10 years her senior. This trans-Atlantic couple have obvious reasons to hate Donald Trump:

A charity run by Rory Stewart’s wife has lost $1 million of [USAID] funding as a result of Elon Musk’s foreign aid-slashing Doge reforms, the former minister revealed [in February 2025].
Mr Stewart said that the support for Turquoise Mountain, a charity that works in Afghanistan, Myanmar and the Middle East, had stopped abruptly, despite it having a contract.
The organisation is led by Shoshana Stewart, who has worked for the charity since 2006 when it was set up by the King, then the Prince of Wales.
According to its website, the organisation seeks to “revive historic areas and traditional crafts to provide jobs, skills and a renewed sense of pride” in the areas it works. . . .
Mr Stewart told The Rest Is Politics podcast, which he co-hosts with Alistair Campbell, on Wednesday: “It doesn’t matter you have a contract.
“Turquoise Mountain, which my wife Shoshana runs, had a contract (and) had another million dollars to go and the money just stops”.
Mr Musk, the tech billionaire and head of the new department of government efficiency (Doge), announced on Monday that [USAID] would be shut down.
[USAID] is the world’s largest single aid donor, distributing some $72 billion of assistance in 2023 to a range of causes, from natural disaster relief to access to clean water and HIV/Aids treatments.
Mr Stewart met his wife when he moved to Kabul in 2005 to help set up Turquoise Mountain. He was chief executive of the charity himself for two years before his wife took on the role. . . .
[The cutoff of funds from USAID] comes just weeks after the former Tory MP became embroiled in a social media spat with JD Vance, the US vice-president.

It was unkind, and arguably inaccurate, for our Vice President to suggest Stewart’s problem is a lack of intelligence. He is not stupid, but as Ronald Reagan famously quipped, “The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” The fact that Rory Stewart was once a member of Britain’s Conservative Party just goes to show the decadence of 21st-century Britain. Despite his quarrel with Vance, however, I had no idea who Rory Stewart was until someone called attention to his interview with a British journalist:

The part that got cut off:

What I wanted to talk about was the way ignorance and hatred (recent examples: describing Muslims praying in public as “an act of domination”, political parties trying to ban the burqa) was now not just harming British Muslims, but also the national interest.
How a lack of understanding about martyrdom or Persian nationalism connects to a war that might cause a global depression. I thought he might talk about Karbala, and we did eventually, but he began with a precise and confronting statement: much of what we’re dealing with is, quite simply, racism.
And not only that, but the weaponisation of that racism, and its political uses, which he described as “profoundly disturbing.”
He talked about arguing with Tommy Robinson. Speculated about possible endpoints for a politics that don’t incorporate dignity and love. And drew a parallel to anti-Semitism in the 1930s.

Translation: “Everyone I Don’t Like Is Hitler.”

Rather than risk the accusation of taking him out of context, let me quote Stewart at length from that interview:

Yeah. Well, I think I think we’ve got to be very clear that this is basically racism. I mean essentially the AFD in Germany uh or the far right in Britain or all those people on social media who are talking about Judeo-Christian values and saying “I’ve got nothing against people of color, I just don’t like Islam,” are basically racist. I mean essentially what they’re trying to do is drive hundreds of thousands — millions — of people out of their country. I mean, the AFD, some of their uh leadership are very clear about it. They talk about remigration. You’re a Muslim, you’re going to be shoved out of Germany. And it’s the most amazing nonsense. I mean this idea that somehow Islam itself is a kind of inherently bad religion and other religions are sort of inherently good is completely demented. . . .
It’s partly just pure ignorance . . . not very different from the kind of way that, well, our experience I suppose with other forms of racism that the kind of ways that people thought about black people when they hadn’t met any black people or the kind of ways that people thought about people who were gay until they actually had some gay friends. I mean it it a lot of it is simply that they just don’t know any Muslims, right? They don’t understand the lived experience of it.

Having been generous in providing the content of Stewart’s remarks, you see that I was merely giving him more rope with which to hang himself. The more he talks, the more insulting he becomes. If you don’t agree with him, you are ignorant, and your policy ideas are nonsense.

It is difficult not to laugh when Stewart speaks of racism as “the kind of ways that people thought about black people when they hadn’t met any black people,” as if, for example, Lester Maddox or George Wallace “hadn’t met any black people.” But then again, exactly what does Stewart mean by “racism” except disagreeing with me about immigration?

Here is where his invocation of “lived experience” boomerangs back to hit Stewart in the face: What about the “lived experience” of English working men whose communities are destabilized by the influx of foreigners? What about those girls in Rotherham and other towns whose “lived experience” is being raped by gangs of Muslim immigrants?

Oikophobia is a tendency to criticise or reject one’s own home or home society while praising others. It has been used in political contexts to refer critically to political ideologies that are held to repudiate one’s own culture.

Whose interests do our leaders serve? Isn’t the whole project of democracy — its very raison d’être — that leaders should represent the interests and opinions of the people who elect them? Here we are reminded of a famous quote by Bertolt Brecht. In 1953, workers in East Germany rebelled against the Communist government, which arrested hundreds, many of whom were executed, in a post-Stalin crackdown on opposition to the Soviet-controlled regime. Brecht wrote sarcastically:

“After the uprising of the 17th of June, the Secretary of the Writers’ Union had leaflets distributed . . . which stated that the people had squandered the confidence of the government And could only win it back by redoubled work. Would it not in that case be simpler for the government to dissolve the people and elect another?”

The idea of the government “electing another people,” which Brecht treated as an obvious absurdity, has in the 21st century become the policy of the political elite in nearly all Western democracies. Because their policy preferences are rejected by most of their own native populations, the leadership elite wish to import foreign migrants whom they expect to repay them in electoral support. This “Great Replacement,” as it has been called, is denounced as a racist conspiracy theory when any opponent of such a policy describes it as what it really is, despite the fact that many of those who favor a de facto open-borders policy have not always been secretive about their motives. Here we have Rory Stewart siding with Muslim invaders against British citizens, pretending that there is not reason that the natives should oppose a government policy of favoritism toward the foreigners and hostility to the interests of actual Britons.

No amount of evidence can ever persuade these elites of their error, as their antagonism to those they view as the ignorant “masses” is deeply rooted in their own personal interests, i.e., the maintenance and justification of what they consider their inherent right to exercise authority. This was where Sam Francis, a student of James Burnham, had the insight to interpret politics through the lens of The Managerial Revolution. Some speak of the “uniparty” in Washington, the tendency toward consensus among Republican and Democratic leaders, preventing any meaningful change in policy. The same people speak of the bureaucratic “Deep State” as similarly obstructing any real change. Both of these phenomena are expressions of the controlling power of what Burnham called “the managerial elite.” It’s a complex subject — Sam Francis had a Ph.D. and even he had difficulty getting others to understand the significance of Burnham’s work as it applies to contemporary politics — but my point is that people like Rory Stewart are incapable of changing their minds because to do so would require them to interrogate their own motives and confront their own selfishness.

Stewart’s career has been a long series of failures, and yet there he is, ensconced at Yale University, lecturing young people about international relations, while complaining on a podcast about how “racist” the English people are because they don’t want their country overrun by foreigners. And he’s angry because Trump took away the million dollars a year that U.S. taxpayers were sending to the Afghanistan NGO run by his wife.

You can’t understand his “lived experience,” you bigot.
