Editor’s note: Below are the video and transcript of remarks given by Shillman Fellow Daniel Greenfield at the Freedom Center’s 2023 Restoration Weekend – just held Oct. 26-29 at the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans.
Daniel Greenfield from DHFC on Vimeo.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen for coming out here this weekend.
Unfortunately, I have some bad news. We have savages among us. Not in this room. This is a great room. And the time we spend together is a fortress of sanity in a world going mad.
Here we still believe in a right and a wrong. And we believe that under no circumstances do you start roaming the streets and burning down cities. And under no circumstances do you go to the homes of your neighbors who follow another religion, kill and kidnap their children, and rape their women while shouting, “Allahu Akbar”. Because we’re not savages.
But we can’t deny that there are savages roaming the world… and our country.
I don’t just mean the Hamas terrorists who killed, kidnapped and tortured Israeli men, women and children.
I also mean the over 1,700 sociology professors, including some from Yale and Columbia, who signed a letter arguing that the Hamas atrocities had to be “contextualized” as a response to “75 years of settler colonial occupation and European empire.”
And the over 200 faculty members at another university, including Ellen Dichner, the Chief Counsel to the Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board under the Obama administration, who defended the Hamas atrocities as a “military operation”.
And the Secretary General of the UN who argued that “It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.”
You’ve seen the polls in which 57% of Muslims in America said that the Hamas horrors were justified. And the one in which half of 18-24 year olds in America side with Hamas.
And just so you don’t think I’m picking on Muslims or Generation Z, you may not have seen the one in which 11.5% of American Jews said that Hamas was justified.
Yes, over 1 in 10 American Jews believe that an Islamic terrorist organization whose leaders have called for the extermination of the Jews is justified.
3.6% of American Jews “strongly” agree that the murder of Jewish babies is justified.
We have savages among us. In the most literal sense of the word. There are white savages, black savages and Asian savages. There are male and female savages, and transgender savages and savages of all members of the 500 genders currently on the table.
What unites them is a hatred of civilization and a burning desire to destroy it, to tear it down, to wreck its most cherished values and then dance on the flames.
There are savages among us at schools where the tuition is enough to buy a house in the country. There are savages with PhDs preaching that murder and torture is the righteous “decolonization” of the “settler colonial occupation”.
And by the way when they say “settler colonial occupation”, they don’t just mean Israelis, they mean Americans right here. We’re a “settler colony” too. First come the “land acknowledgements” in which we admit we don’t belong here. And then once we admit that, we’re illegitimate settlers, we can be “decolonized” by being massacred too.
This isn’t some fringe movement. This is what’s being taught in universities across America.
You’ve all seen the videos of ordinary college students cheering Hamas, tearing down posters of kidnapped people, and sneering at anyone who dares to challenge them.
Who could have seen this coming? One man did.
There’s one more video that I hope you’ve seen even though it’s over ten years old.
We played it tonight but just in case you missed it, I’m going to set the scene.
This happened in the spring of 2010 at the University of California at San Diego. A few months earlier, Hamas terrorists had tried to penetrate the Gaza border fence to invade Israel. And Israeli soldiers had fought them.
We know now what the Hamas terrorists would have done if they had broken through.
David Horowitz had arrived to speak on campus which was always a scene because the Left hated him. It still does. Because he got them, he understood what they are, like no one else.
A member of the Islamist and anti-Semitic Muslim Students Association confronted Horowitz. Horowitz asked the MSA member, a campus association founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization of Hamas, whose members and speakers have praised Hamas, whether she would condemn Hamas. She refused.
Then he asked her an even more pointed question:
“I am a Jew. The head of Hezbollah has said that he hopes that we will gather in Israel so he doesn’t have to hunt us down globally. For or Against it?”
She leaned in close to the microphone and spoke clearly. “For it.”
Back then the video was shocking. The student and her political allies on campus claimed that she misspoke. And that she didn’t really mean it. Now Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine campus chapters openly celebrate the Hamas butchery.
The national organization of Students for Justice in Palestine hailed the Hamas rape of girls, murder of babies and kidnapping of children as a “historic win for the Palestinian resistance”.
The national organization which has 200 chapters on campuses across North America put out a ‘toolkit’ which explained that the Jewish victims were “not civilians” and were fair game.
In that one moment in the spring of 2010, David Horowitz had gotten one of them to take her mask off before they were ready. Those of us who were paying attention saw it. Those who didn’t went back to sleep. Now the masks are off and everyone is horrified. Except those who are cheering it on.
The thing about masks is that we like them. We don’t want to see the ugliness underneath.
When the masks come off, we shudder in horror and then we forget. We go back to our everyday routines. It happened after 9/11. The response to what Hamas did doesn’t surprise me because I was there in Manhattan after the attacks. And what I saw inspired me to do what I do today.
As we were walking north with what used to be the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center behind us, there were college students from NYU in Union Square painting anti-war signs.
America had been attacked hours ago. People were fleeing to get away from what was in the air, but they were already chalking on the sidewalk and drawing up anti-American signs.
Now remember there was no war, but anti-war protests were being organized on the spot.
And then came the arguments that the people in the towers and on the planes had it coming. They were ‘Little Eichmans’, remember that one? An edgy avant garde American director was sitting at dinner in a posh London restaurant with his British distributor who told him that “I think September 11 was the best thing that ever happened to America. I thought the attack would make Americans understand why the rest of the world hates them.“
The director, who was in no way a conservative, a Republican, or some flag-waver, punched him in the face, broke his nose and overturned the dinner table on him.
That is sometimes how you respond to savages.
Some of you may have had similar experiences after 9/11. For every international outpouring of sympathy, there were all the “America had it coming” responses. And there was plenty of it at home. Is it any wonder that the response to the Hamas crimes is more of the same?
Civilized people like to believe that there is some level of barbarism, some atrocity, that people on the other side who disagree with us won’t stomach. And individually there is. Collectively it’s another matter. There are always good Nazis who look at something and turn away, who maybe even try to save some Jews, but the stadiums were still packed with people cheering Hitler and Hamas will have plenty of supporters on campus.
So up the ante. Raped women, murdered babies, kids in cages. We think that at some point we’ll reach a red line where everyone will agree that is wrong. And nope. We never do.
Because we miss the point.
When savages look at atrocities, they don’t think, “Good Lord, that’s horrifying. What kind of monsters can do such things.” They think, “Yes, yes, yes!.”
When they put it into words, they talk about “decolonization” and “the resistance of the oppressed”, they quote Franz Fanon about the “wretched of the earth”, but underneath those abstractions that the Left constructed to normalize and rationalize mass murder, much as the Nazis did, is the true response, “Yes! Yes, yes, yes.”
The Left glamorizes the idea of the ‘Noble Savage’ because it loves savagery and it wants to be savages. It wants to roll in the blood and the mud, it wants to burn and smash things, to wrap its hands around throats and squeeze. But it’s become too civilized, too urbanized. It needs others, the noble savages it looks down on, to lead the way and smash, burn and kill.
We’ve seen this in our country. It’s the same around the world.
They’ve got Noam Chomsky out there right now covering for Hamas the way he once covered for Pol Pot who forced everyone in the countryside and killed anyone wearing glasses.
This is what savages do. And college students are being indoctrinated into this cult of savagery.
What do savages want? They want to tear down the world as it is to make their new better world. And they want it to be with so much horror, pain and death that no one ever dares think about rebuilding civilization again.
Mass murder, the starvation of millions of people, a culture of terror: these are just some of the means that they used in the 20th century, in Communist China, the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Cuba and Iran.
The common denominator is fear.
Civilized people confronted with savagery freeze. They’re traumatized. They can’t cope with it.
That is what the savages want. It’s why they use terrorism. They want us terrorized.
And we can’t give in to fear.
That is why the David Horowitz Freedom Center is fighting back.
David Horowitz led the way in warning about what was to come. Now even some of the most outspoken liberals are admitting that he was right. They’re seeing the barbarism on campuses, the indoctrination, the hate and they’re asking where did this come from.
It didn’t just appear overnight. It was always here.
And the David Horowitz Freedom Center, from the very beginning, sounded a battle cry against it. When David Horowitz first talked about campus indoctrination, even most Republicans dismissed him. They didn’t want to hear about it. When he warned about Hamas on campus, he was denounced as an alarmist. And even when he demonstrated that college students were being groomed to support the mass murder of Jews, few would take it seriously.
Now it’s impossible to ignore.
And under the leadership of David Horowitz, we are fighting on.
We’ve been tracking and compiling lists of tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations that came out with statements in support of Hamas and we are going to hold them accountable.
Supporting terrorists is a violation of the tax code.
Many of the loudest voices supporting Hamas, including Students for Justice in Palestine, which is behind many of the pro-terrorist campus protests, are tax-exempt groups. Stripping away their tax-exempt status will effectively defund them. Under Obama, the IRS targeted pro-Israel groups. Under a Republican administration, the IRS needs to target pro-terrorist organizations.
Congress also has the ability to close loopholes in the tax code that allows Islamic terrorist groups and their supporters to benefit from tax-exempt status.
We’ve also profiled tax-exempt Chinese Communist and North Korean front groups that advocate in support Hamas and the Alliance for Global Justice, originally started to support Marxist terrorists, which sponsors Samidoun, a terrorist front group that’s been banned in Israel and Germany, which sponsored the New York City rally calling for solidarity with Hamas during which NYPD officers were assaulted.
Loopholes allowing Islamic terrorist front groups to benefit from tax-exempt donations need to be closed.
Congress can do it.
And we’re not stopping there. From our investigative reporting to our Discover the Networks site, led by the incredibly knowledgeable John Perazzo, and with everyday coverage from our intrepid Mark Tapson, Front Page Magazine, where I have the honor to work with Mark and with Jamie Glazov, also the editor of an important collection on Obama’s legacy, and Christine Williams, and the many talented writers and journalists who never stop fighting for the truth. And Sara Dogan who runs our campus operation and recently issued a pamphlet on the top campus hate groups. The indefatigable Robert Spencer and Jihad Watch who alert us to the state of the enemy. And Michael Finch who keeps all the moving parts from flying off into space.
And so many others who work with us to make this a fight we can win.
We’re collecting information on the enemies within our country.
We’re following the money trails from radical donors and exposing extremists on campus.
And we’re fighting to hold them accountable because we won’t let the savages win.
We’re not doing it as a response to the Hamas attacks, but because it’s what we’ve been doing all along.
David Horowitz saw this battle coming. And he built an organization that, as he’s told you many times, is not a think tank, it’s a battle tank. And with your support, we’re doing battle.
We’re a small organization that always punches above our weight.
We took issues that were obscure, that were controversial, that were on the back burner, and we made them into issues for a movement, for a party and for a country.
The people you see here, guests, speakers and thinkers, come together, we share ideas, we learn from each other, and we come away stronger and more determined than ever to win.
There are some of you who came here feeling hurt and broken. I know some here may have family or friends in Israel. But I have to say that every single time I have had the honor to come here, and that includes the 2020 election, no matter what has happened, I have come away stronger, and so many people come back year after year because you feel that way too.
I don’t just come here to speak, I come here to learn, from the speakers and from all of you. When you ask me questions, I learn from you. Every time I’ve done a talk, talking to you has changed what I’m going to say. And this time is no different.
And I also come here like so many of you to feel the energy in the room, the fortress of sanity, from which we return strengthened, certain and determined that we will win.
This is not just about politics. It’s not just about who’s in charge of earmarks or who gets to wield a gavel.
Moments like the Hamas atrocities bring home to us what this is really about.
This is a global and a national struggle between savages and civilization. It’s about whether our children and grandchildren will live in peace and security. Or live in terror and fear.
We will not win this war if we refuse to name the enemy, the thousand year old Islamic Jihad against civilization, and the two-hundred year old leftist assault on mankind.
We will not win if we turn away from who our enemies are, but we must not fear them.
Civilization is superior to the savage in every way. All we have to do to win this war is wake up.
David Horowitz has spent the better part of a lifetime waking people up. Every few days I’m on the phone with him and he’s telling me to hit harder and to call our enemies what they are.
Every day we are waking people up, and every year we come here for a giant wake up call, to draw strength from each other and to go determined to fight for our country and our future.
We fight because civilization is too precious to give up.
We fight so that our children and grandchildren have the world they deserve.
We fight because the savages must not win.
And they will not win.
The only way the savages can win is if we let them, if we go to sleep, if we despair, if we give up. And we will not give up. The future must not belong to the savages. It must not belong to the beheaders of children, the rapists of women and those who murder cartoonists.
It’s our future and we’re not giving it up to them.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center is fighting for the future. Thank you for standing with us.
Thank you for being part of our fight.
Patrick Liquori says
Well spoken. The reality of evil cannot be ignored. If we gnore it, we ignore it to the detriment of all.
Michael says
Daniel,
Don’t forget CAIR.
VOWG says
Talking is not fighting and killing one’s enemy. There is no where to go without violence when dealing with insanity. Too bad, so sad.
VOWG says
I am an old man. I remember newsreels of naked Jews being bulldozed into trenches. It made me angry then and I am even more angry today. Censor me if you wish, the enemies of the Jews have to be killed. You don’t like that sentiment, to freaking bad. Kill your damn enemies before they kill you.
léopold says
Il est écœurant de constater, une fois de plus, que la WW2, avec son cortège de 6 millions de morts juifs, parce qu’ils étaient juifs, semble de la préhistoire sur laquelle on se penchera dans un certain temps, soit quand les mémoires ne demanderont plus rien.
Montie Craddock says
This was precivilization tribalism at it’s worst aka savagery. It proved once again , there are human traits that can be triggered through the cult of radical tribalism to cause savagery . Vigilance is always needed .
S H Cohen says
A great many of the Islamic extremists are products of consanguinity…first cousins marrying first cousins…possibly up to 60% of the Gaza population is affected this way…what is the result of hundreds of years of this practice….
this is a struggle between Good and Evil…the West is currently losing…this can change for the better…but not while Iran…Hizbollah…Hamas …Isis …and all the other nutter Islamic groupings continue to create havoc…now seen in Europe…USA…Australia…Scandinavia…Middle East and elsewhere…these Islamic extremist have no place in any sane human culture…S H Cohen
‘Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. ‘ Karl Popper, On the Paradox of Tolerance, in The Open Society and Its Enemies, 1945
Rob Porter says
So the Muslim and other contemporary savages resent Jews returning to their original homeland, not least to escape hundreds of years of persecution that culminated in the holocaust. The Jews, they in their mindless ignorance say, have conducted “75 years of settler colonial occupation and European empire.”
Meanwhile in 634AD Arab hoards rampaged out of Arabia into Mesopotamia, butchered thousands and took over the country. They then crushed and took over the Persian Empire, did the same in Afghanistan where they wiped out the entire Hindu population and took over the country. They then invaded India where over time they murdered more than 81 millions Indians and destroyed Buddhism by chopping off the head of Buddhist priests. The Arabs invaded the Levant and took it over, invaded Egypt and the whole of North Africa. These Muslims never surrendered or withdrew from any land other than India, yet today hold part of India, Pakistan.
Other than through ignorance why are these modern-day Western savages at Harvard, Yale, and other wondrous universities in Canada, not demanding that the Muslims ‘settlers’ end their “colonial occupation” and surrender the lands they grabbed and occupied hundreds of years ago?
My bet is that these foggy-brained modern savages have no knowledge of 1,400 years of Muslim savagery and do not care to know.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Excellent analysis, thanks Daniel!
Reminded me of castles vs marauding savages. The castles gave protection to the small number of civilized people against the vast numbers of marauding savages.
Annie45 says
Very well said. This speech allows readers and supporters to understand
the dedicated investigative work done by people at the David Horowitz
Freedom Center to win the battle of civilization against savagery. Their
guidance is much appreciated.
Savage Islam and double-talking Lefties live and breathe to lord it over
other people. And if they can crush others underfoot to attain a feeling
of superiority – they just love it. Attaining a feeling of primacy among
others because of some earned achievement is anathema to them.
One calls to mind Obama’s unearned Nobel prize and his preening in
the ensuant limelight. And worse, we are confronted daily with poseur
President Biden who has unearned power and privilege from a
fraudulent election. The ideology of Islam is consumed with domination
of non-Muslims – through a savage crushing underfoot or through softer
Jihadist means.
It’s called tyranny and totalitarianism – the same old thugs of history
garbed in the familiar raiments of Islam and in the newer finery of the
woke progressive left.
Daniel Greenfield says
Yes, history keeps repeating itself because people fail to learn from it. All these ideologies, the left and Islam, are about gaining total power through the promise of building a perfect world. Then they unleash the utter nightmares that come about when the ends justify the means and the ends are so absolutely good and critical that they require absolute power and transcend all ordinary morality.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Like the example of predators and prey in the natural world. The prey keep repeating the behaviors that allow the predators to eat.
NAVY ET1 says
Very well done, Daniel. Kudos! An old Seinfeld joke says that, according to recent studies, public speaking is the average person’s number one fear. Death is number two on their list so, if you’re going to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than giving the eulogy.
I was enlightened as to the action item list. Kudos again. The average patriotic American has become disillusioned with government’s unwillingness/inability to do anything about the “savages” all around us, so it’s good and appreciated to see the group taking steps to identify them and call them on their support of terror.
Daniel Greenfield says
Thank you. I wouldn’t want to do public speaking for any other reason. It’s only because I’m speaking about something bigger than me that matters.
NAVY ET1 says
You did very well, even with the audio hiccups (which was quick thinking and funny, btw). Back when I was working, I had to speak in front of my company (approximately 500 people) at an annual symposium. I memorized and practiced the speech, over and over again, until I could say it in my sleep, but I still had to stare at the back of the room to get through it. I was told by everyone that I did very well, but was on autopilot the whole time just to get through it.
THX 1138 says
How can you keep the savages out when America and the West are religiously devoted to altruism and altruistic suicide?
Jewish and Christian conservatives on the Right are either ignorant of, or refuse to admit, that the Jews and Christians on the Left are the more consistent, devoted, and serious practitioners of suicidal Judeo-Christian altruism.
Who made it possible for Ilhan Omar to invade America? The Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service.
ALL of the major Christian churches (Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Episcopalian, etc.) and major Jewish organizations are receiving millions upon millions of tax-payer dollars from the government to help destroy America through illegal and un-selective, unvetted, immigration.
Judeo-Christian altruism and self-sacrifice are destroying America, “the meek shall inherit the earth”, “love your enemy”. “turn the other cheek”. “love your Muslim neighbor as you love yourself”, “you are your Muslim brother’s keeper”.
“After fleeing my home country of Somalia I lived in a refugee camp in Kenya for four years before seeking hope and opportunity in the United States, and it was thanks to the support of LIRS [Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service] that I and my family found a home in the United States,” the Democratic lawmaker said.
Omar is just one of the lawmakers, religious leaders and former refugees who stressed the importance of restoring the United States’ long-standing commitment to resettling refugees Thursday on a virtual panel hosted by LIRS, one of nine agencies contracted with the U.S. government to do resettlement work.”
“Rep. Ilhan Omar, others encourage US to rebuild refugee resettlement ahead of World Refugee Day”
Intrepid says
Didn’t you post this self-indulgent crap yesterday or the day before? Do you really have that little to say that you have to hit us over the head with a repeat of one of your virtual books.
“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” Proverbs 18-2
In other words, it is best to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool instead of opening it and removing all doubt.
Do you really think any one actually reads all of the overwrought garbage you post?
NAVY ET1 says
Bless your heart, you are SERIOUSLY hung up on altruism, aren’t you? It has embedded itself into your brain and you can’t get past it. In reality, it’s become the wherewithal in your mind to definitively denounce Christianity; the slug in your shotgun of “truth”. Lemme help you.
There are plenty of “Christians” that actual Christians don’t find to be so. Neither does God:
Matt 7:22,23 “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Basing one’s life on egoism or conceit isn’t a basis to slam true Christianity, which had NOTHING to do with the Crusades. True Christianity is about matters of the heart; understanding the need for God in one’s life, confessing sin and turning from it, asking Christ to come into your life and indwelling you. Allowing the Holy Spirit to teach you in all things.
You can’t make someone become a Christian. You also can’t make a Christian choose not to be…but you can attempt to fool yourself, as any Christian in this comment section realizes you are doing.
Saul was on a mission to persecute Christians on the Damascus road when God intervened.
Acts 9:4,5 “And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for the to kick against the pricks.”
It IS hard, isn’t it THX?
I want you to know that I’m praying that Jesus reaches down and grabs your heart. You won’t need to fight anymore.
THX 1138 says
Don’t pray for me since, as an Objectivist, I’m on the side of freedom, liberty, individualism, individual rights, private property rights, Laissez-Faire Capitalism, and the personal pursuit of happiness on earth. In other words, Objectivism, defends the Founders original intent and vision of the American way of life.
Go pray for your fellow Christians on the Left, the Social Justice Warrior Christians, which outnumber the Christians on the Right. If the Leftist Christians don’t outnumber the Christians on the Right, they certainly are as effective in destroying America as any atheist Marxist.
The question is who has the correct interpretation of what Jesus would want for America, the Christians on the Right, or the Social Justice Christians on the Left? That’s a battle between you Christians. Objectivism knows which side it unequivocally defends.
“In accordance with the principles of America and of capitalism, I recognize your right to hold any beliefs you choose — and, on the same grounds, you have to recognize my right to hold any convictions I choose. I am an intransigent atheist, though not a militant one. This means that I am not fighting against religion — I am fighting for reason. WHEN FAITH AND REASON CLASH, IT IS UP TO THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE TO DECIDE HOW THEY CHOOSE TO RECONCILE THE CONFLICT [emphasis added]. As far as I am concerned, I have no terms of communication and no means to deal with people, except through reason.” – Ayn Rand
Intrepid says
“Objectivism, defends the Founders original intent and vision of the American way of life.”
Really? Did Founders even mention Objectivism? Of course not. They would have laughed Rand and you out of the room.
I think the Founders were just fine in the belief in Christianity and or Deism when they laid out the blueprint for our nation.
But hey, I won’t waste a prayer on you. You aren’t worth the effort.
What’s it like to be truly alone?
ChiefStone says
ILLHAMAS IS A TERRORIST TO OUR USA GET GONE OMARR
Montie Craddock says
This was precivilization tribalism at it’s worst aka savagery. It proved once again , there are human traits that can be triggered through the cult of radical tribalism to cause savagery . Vigilance is always needed .
Mo de Profit says
Brilliant speech Daniel.
Intrepid says
In America secular liberal Jews and the ADL have always voted for their own executioners. When 11.5% of American Jews say that Hamas was justified they have a Sonderkommando big problem.
Jews are no longer the favored pets of the Dhimmicrats. The Dhimmicrats do not need or care about the Jewish vote anymore.
Like Germany in the 1920s today’s American anti-Semitism finds fertile ground in academia. These woke Ivy League schools are breeding a generation of Jew Hating activists who will end up in government. I can only imagine the anti-semitic policies that will be developed and enacted by future Democrat admins when these little Hitlers are running things.
For now the Jew hating Ivy League activists don’t have the guts to pull the trigger. But wait a few years.
Daniel Greenfield says
Jews have never been the pets. Sanger targeted Jews and Italians for decimation. So did FDR.
The Communists targeted Jews early and often.
American Jews just live in an unreal haze and too many make leftist politics into their religion.
Intrepid says
Agreed re: making leftist politics their religion. That is what Norman Podhoretz wrote in his book “Why are Jews Liberal?”
In the wake of this latest Hamas attack however, Jews are starting to arm up. I get the email from “Jews Can Shoot” and the lady who runs the organization has documented what is starting to happen. Unfortunately, many Jews still live in blue cities where it is tough to purchase firearms. So MMA and Krav Maga is becoming more accepted.
DC says
With all due respect………I’m tired of the bastardization of the language where all types of people from the chattering classes of media proclaim that they are “fighting”.
When you wear the Star of David and pick up the Galil rifle……….you will then actually be fighting.
When Christians hoist the M-4 while donning the Cross of St. George………..they will then actually be fighting.
See how that works?
BubbaJr says
US Colleges & Universities are OBSOLETE!
The fiefdoms of Sodom College and Gomorrah University must be defunded …it’s become a corrupt financial ecosystem for liberals abusing taxpayers money to fund their communist operations.
Higher Education campuses are predominantly obsolete and warrant a “College Campus Defunding Commission” like the “Military Base Closure Commission.” USA can deliver superior higher education via the internet at a fraction of the cost of our current bricks and mortar campuses. A hybrid system for some disciplines’ lab work can be arranged.
Billions in annual savings will reduce our deficit & debt, a true economic “win-win.”
Higher Ed fiefdoms that indoctrinate & poison American youth must be destroyed.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Anyone who thinks Islam is the Religion of Peace are walking around with Blinders on
notebeat says
Excellent speech! Well said and much needed.
Daniel Greenfield says
thank you
Sword of The Spirit says
“what we’re all up against” is the end of this dispensation of time. The end of this age which began over two thousand years ago with the stoning of Stephen in the book of Acts. We are getting ready to enter the time period known as “The Great Tribulation”. Only question is how horrible will life get on earth BEFORE that Great Tribulation.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Peter Arnone says
Thank you, Daniel, for your inspirational speech and all the important work you do.
Taylor says
One point worth keeping in mind: Daniels’ speech was also partially a fundraising speech at an event that raises funds. Dr. Bob cant be expected to carry all the weight. I ponied-up and it would be good if everyone who could donate–whatever they can afford–does donate.
David Mu says
Able and well-done speech Mr. Greenfield to defining the danger we the civilized face, briefly the reasons of the why of that danger, and the truly the reason (and value) of David Horowitz. I was just a child, but I remember the magazine he was involved, and when I learnt he had turned against the left – that said volumes to me. You honor him and the movement against these monsters of the left; both the leftists and their current love Islam that must be faced down and put down for a future for civilization itself.
Curious says
There’s also a substantial amount of great stuff in the video that’s not in the transcript.
Andrew Blackadder says
How strange it appears that those Of The Left often speak, scream, about Colonization or Settlers but never say a single word about the fact that from current day Istanbul all the way to Kabul there were no muslims because islam had not yet been created out of the mind of a savage who met a fallen angel in a cave but his ”warriors” slaughtered and conquered everybody and everything in the wake of armed conflict from Istanbul to Kabul where all Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhist and other smaller religious Sects lived in peace, until islamic warriors came along and settled, conquered, colonized the entire area, strange how those Of The Left fail to mention that historical FACT..
Afghanistan was a Buddhist Nation until the Russians invaded, for no good reason, and then what followed is history…
The UK ended slavery over 150 years ago and the USA followed soon after but we can be thankful that Saudi Arabia ended that awful practice also way back in 1970 and the USA Army defends them… What am I missing here ?.
