Vice President Kamala Harris’ handling of the Israeli Prime Minister’s visit paints a preview of how a Harris administration would handle U.S.-Israel relations if elected, a GOP Jewish advocacy group claims.Netanyahu arrived in the U.S. on Monday after being invited by members of Congress to address lawmakers during a joint session. Harris, who became the likely Democratic nominee for president after Biden withdrew from the race, was not present to greet Netanyahu on the tarmac when he arrived. The Israeli prime minister delivered his address to Congress Wednesday, where he detailed the horrors of the country’s war against Hamas. Harris declined to preside over the address and instead attended a sorority event in Indiana.Anti-Israel protests broke out across Washington D.C. ahead of Netanyahu’s big speech, where agitators burned the American Flag, called the Israeli prime minister a “war criminal,” and vandalized a Liberty Bell replica with pro-Hamas writing.ANTI-ISRAEL AGITATORS BURN AMERICAN FLAGS, ACCUSE NETANYAHU OF BEING ‘WAR CRIMINAL’ AS HE ADDRESSES CONGRESSA leader from the Republican Jewish Coalition, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that works to lobby for conservative interests, has said that if Harris is elected, he expects her to follow in President Biden’s footsteps regarding Israel moving forward.”If you thought Joe Biden was bad on issues of top concern for pro-Israel voters, Kamala Harris is far worse,” Sam Markstein, RJC national political director, told Fox News Digital in a statement. “It took her a full day to issue a weak condemnation of the pro-Hamas mobs that burned American flags and chanted vile antisemitic slogans at Jews in Washington, D.C. – with zero mention of any concrete action she would take to hold them accountable. It should be easy to condemn antisemitism – the real question is what she will do to confront it, and her statement speaks for itself,” Markstein added. “Clearly, her priorities are not our priorities – and if elected, we can expect more of the same.”Harris condemned the protests in a statement Thursday: “Yesterday, at Union Station in Washington, D.C., we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protesters and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric. I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews.”Netanyahu’s U.S. visit comes at a critical moment in Harris’ campaign, as she works to replace Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket and make her case to voters just four months before Election Day.GOP LOOKS TO REVOKE VISAS FROM PARTICIPANTS IN VIOLENT PROTESTS AHEAD OF NETANYAHU ADDRESSHarris has said that she supports Israel’s right to defend itself since the October 7 attack, but also highlighted calls for a ceasefire in the region. The vice president met with Benny Gantz, a rival of Netanyahu and member of Israel’s wartime cabinet, in March. That same month, Harris became the first administration official to call for an “immediate ceasefire” in the conflict.But anti-Israel protests erupted on college campuses across the country in the spring, and in June, Harris expressed sympathy for the agitators.”They are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza,” Harris said in an interview with The Nation. “There are things some of the protesters are saying that I absolutely reject, so I don’t mean to wholesale endorse their points. But we have to navigate it. I understand the emotion behind it.””Kamala Harris and the Democrats will reap what they’ve sowed in this election – from undermining the US-Israel relationship to unprecedented lows and overseeing a spike in antisemitism to record high,” Markstein said. “The Jewish community is more energized than ever to help elect Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States to restore law and order to our cities and colleges so that American Jews can walk the streets and campuses without fear. November 5, 2024 cannot come soon enough.”Fox News’ Michael Lee and Emma Colton contributed to this report.

President Biden delivered an approximately 11-minute address to the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday. While sitting behind the Resolute Desk, surrounded by portraits of American presidents, Biden spoke of his decision to discontinue his re-election campaign and laid out his plan for the remainder of his term. The 81-year-old president, after recovering from a reported COVID-19 case last week, also spoke repeatedly about “defending democracy.” Here are five key takeaways from the address that comes at a pivotal moment of the election cycle as Vice President Harris, with Biden’s endorsement, vies to become the Democratic nominee for president. BIDEN ADDRESSES DECISION TO DROP OUT OF 2024 RACE, INTENDS TO COMPLETE TERM IN WHITE HOUSE1. Biden offers an explanation about deciding to step aside from the race The president said that when he was elected to office, he promised to “always level with you, to tell you the truth.” That truth, Biden said, is that the “sacred cause of this country is larger than any one of us,” and those dedicated to the “cause of American democracy must unite to protect it.” “In recent weeks, it’s become clear to me that I need to unite my party in this critical endeavor. I believed my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America’s future all merited a second term. But nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy,” Biden said. “That includes personal ambition. So I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. It’s the best way to unite our nation. You know, there is a time and a place for long years of experience in public life. There’s also a time and place for new voices. Fresh voices. Yes, younger voices. And that time and place is now.” 2. Biden vows to reform the Supreme Court The president laid out his plan for the remaining six months of his first term. “I’m going to call for Supreme Court reform because this is critical to our democracy, Supreme Court reform,” Biden said, without elaborating. He also vowed to “continue to lower costs for hard-working families,” grow the economy, defend personal freedoms and civil rights “from the right to vote to the right to choose.” The president said he would continue work on the “cancer moonshot,” which was part of his 2020 campaign promise to end cancer as we know it and mobilize the federal government to speed progress in cancer research.  TRUMP SLAMS BIDEN’S ‘TERRIBLE’ OVAL OFFICE ADDRESS ON ABRUPT EXIT FROM 2024 RACE: ‘IT WAS A COUP’3. Biden condemns political violence, without directly addressing the assassination attempt on former President Trump. “I’ll keep calling out hate and extremism. Make it clear [that] there is no place, no place in America for political violence or any violence that ever. Period,” Biden said, while listing priorities for the rest of his term. Trump survived an assassination attempt on July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, sending a unifying shock wave throughout the Republican Party, which formally named him their nominee the following week. 4. Biden references “kings and dictators” when reiterating his support for Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee “I’d like to thank our great Vice President, Kamala Harris. She’s experienced. She’s tough. She’s capable. She’s been an incredible partner to me and a leader for our country. Now the choice is up to you, the American people. When you make that choice, remember the words of Benjamin Franklin’s hanging on my wall here in the Oval Office, alongside the busts of Doctor King and Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez,” Biden said. The president recalled how, when Franklin emerged from the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, he was asked whether the country would be a monarchy or a republic. Franklin famously was quoted as responding, “a republic, if you can keep it.” Biden also touted his more than 50 years of service to the nation. “The great thing about America is here, kings and dictators do not rule. The people do,” he said. Biden has previously accused Trump of wanting to be a dictator.Biden noted the country emerged from the “worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, [and] the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” 5. Biden boasts that he is the first U.S. president of this century without Americans at war anywhere in the world

“I will keep working to ensure America remains strong, secure in the leader of the free world. I’m the first president of this century to report to the American people that the United States is not a war anywhere in the world,” Biden said. The claim comes as the Biden administration received heavy criticism over its botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. During his debate against Trump last month, Biden made the stunning omission of the 13 U.S. service members killed at Abbey Gate when claiming no U.S. troops were killed while he was in office. Biden in his Oval Office address also vowed to “keep rallying a coalition of proud nations” to prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from taking over Ukraine, promised to make NATO “more powerful and more united than any time in all of our history” and said he would support allies in the Pacific, claiming that it is no longer “conventional wisdom” that China would surpass the United States. Regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict, Biden vowed to “end the war in Gaza, bring home all the hostages to bring peace and security to the Middle East.”

BETHEL PARK, Pa. — FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed on Wednesday that Thomas Crooks’ family had more than a dozen firearms in their Pennsylvania home and that father Matthew Crooks legally sold his son the weapon that the 20-year-old would use in his assassination attempt on former President Trump.”We located a number of firearms associated with the shooter and his family,” Wray told the House Judiciary Committee. “I think it was a total of … 14 in the house.””The weapon that he used for the attempted assassination was an AR-style rifle that was purchased legally,” Wray said. “We believe, based on what we’ve seen, that his father, after purchasing the gun, legally sold the gun to his son.”This revelation came on the same day that Mary Crooks, the mother of the would-be Trump assassin, was pictured outside for the first time since her son opened fire at the rally in Butler.The gunman’s mother, who is blind, was guided by her husband from their blue Toyota Tacoma into their Bethel Park home around 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Matthew Crooks opened her car door for her and held her hand as they entered the house.TRUMP SHOOTING: TIMELINE OF ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW GUNMAN EVADED SECURITYThe younger Crooks was a “fairly avid shooting enthusiast,” Wray said during Wednesday’s testimony.In addition to the AR-15 and magazines for the rifle, a bulletproof vest and “crude” explosive devices that could be detonated remotely were found in Crooks’ car after he was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper, Wray said.The FBI director said the agency is still searching for a manifesto or other clues that could determine the 20-year-old Crooks’ motive for the attack that nearly killed Trump, injured two rallygoers and killed retired volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore on July 13. He added that the bureau’s behavioral analysis unit was assembling a profile of the shooter.DETAILS ABOUT HOW TRUMP SHOOTER SCALED BUTLER RALLY ROOF EMERGE IN FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY’S TESTIMONYTRUMP SHOOTER WAS NOT ONLY SUSPICIOUS PERSON AT BUTLER RALLY: PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE COMMISSIONERThe FBI has conducted more than 400 interviews in their investigation of the shooting. Typically, the FBI does not discuss ongoing investigations, but Wray said on Tuesday that “the attempted assassination of the former president was an attack on our democracy” and that he “recognize[d] the congressional and public interest in this case.”The gunman’s father told reporters this week that his family was not ready to comment on their son’s actions.”We’re going to release a statement when our legal counsel advises us to do so. Until then, we have no comment,” he told Fox News Digital before beginning to load groceries into his vehicle outside a Shop ‘n Save near the family’s home. “We just want to try to take care of ourselves right now. Please, just give us our space.”

But shamefully, not everyone demonstrated peacefulness today.” Read the full story by Emma Colton by clicking here.Wed, 24 Jul 2024 22:37:40 -0400[image]A total of 23 pro-Hamas agitators have been arrested by different law enforcement agencies as of Wednesday evening.The United States Park Police (USPP) released a statement announcing that at least eight anti-Israel agitators were arrested on Wednesday afternoon during an unruly protest.

Roger Williams, a Republican from Texas, tweeted out a message of support for Israel after pro-Hamas agitators caused mayhem in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.Williams posted a photo of his office with two signs near his door. One sign read “I Stand With Israel,” and another read “‘Chickens For KFC.'””I will always stand with our greatest ally, Israel,” Williams wrote.The second sign was a reference to a speech Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made before Congress that day, when he brought up protesters’ ignorance about Hamas’ ideology.”Some of these protesters hold up signs proclaiming gays for Gaza. They might as well hold up signs saying ‘Chickens for KFC.’ These protesters chant ‘From the river to the sea.’ But many don’t have a clue what river and what sea they’re talking about,” Netanyahu said.Wed, 24 Jul 2024 19:50:35 -0400[Video ID]A Jewish man, who expressed offense at the phrase “Hamas is coming” after he saw it tagged on a Christopher Columbus statue outside of Union Station that was vandalized on Wednesday, was harassed and followed.The man told the demonstrators he was offended by their language, causing some of them to start shouting at him and calling him Hitler. It wasn’t clear if they had been the ones to write “Hamas is coming” on the statue.“Do you support terrorists?” he asked the agitators who were already following him down the street.“Don’t worry, we’ll find you. We know who you are,” one agitator could be heard saying.“He’s a nicely dressed White gentleman,” a woman agitator was heard screaming.As they chanted “Free, free Palestine” the Jewish man interjected “from Hamas!”Calling the man a “p—-,” one of the agitators accused him of “killing children” in Gaza.“Enough!” the man said to the agitator, adding “We don’t back down from you and we don’t back down from f—— terrorists!”The situation quickly escalated into a screaming match with the man and one of the agitators in each other’s faces.Finally, the man and a woman who had joined him were let inside a locked building by a security guard with the agitators trying to follow.One of the protesters told Fox News that they decided to harass him because he was a “White gentleman. We were asking his position on Gaza.”One of the protesters told Fox News that the man had provoked them by calling them “terrorist scum” and said that the “art on the memorial was disgusting,” referring to the vandalism.He added, “He didn’t want to stop, and I don’t stop.”The woman then turned on the Fox News reporter, rhetorically asking if Palestinians have the right to defend themselves, adding that asking if they support Hamas is a “red herring.”She added that people who don’t agree with them want to accuse them of being “terrorists because we’re supporting the people of Gaza.”Wed, 24 Jul 2024 19:33:49 -0400[image]Rep. Brian Mast called out the anti-Israel agitators who burned American flags on Wednesday in a scathing post on X.Mast, a Republican from Florida, wrote that he “fought and bled for the American Flag,” in an emotional post.”My friends lost their lives in battle for the American Flag,” he wrote. “And when they came home, the American Flag was draped over their caskets.Mast also linked the protests to Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the presumptive presidential nominee of the Democratic Party.”Yet, the people Kamala Harris is courting burn the American Flag,” the post continued. “Shame on them.”During a press briefing on Wednesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that Harris has been “unwavering” in her support of Israel.”Let me just first say that the vice president has been unwavering in her commitment to the security of Israel,” Jean-Pierre told reporters. “As you know, she’s been a partner with this president for the past four years, not just domestic issues, but obviously also foreign policy issues.”Harris did not attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Wednesday.

At least one demonstrator, whose face was covered, was spotted by Fox News carrying what appeared to be the flag of the terrorist group Hamas while others were heard shouting “allahu Akbar.”At Union Station, agitators burned an American flag and vandalized a statue with the words “Hamas is coming.” They also took down American flags and flew the Palestinian flag instead. The U.S. Capitol Police later advised that “No flags under our protection have been removed or vandalized. Our officers will enforce the law if anyone attempts to remove a flag in USCP jurisdiction.
