Throwback: Ben Shapiro's Quest For Life (As Long As They Aren't Already Alive)

If there's one thing everyone knows about Ben Shapiro, it's that he's a huge pro-lifer. Just Google "Ben Shapiro abortion" and you'll find video after video of his explaining why abortion is wrong. Ben Shapiro cares about life, as he always has and claims he always will.
That's why I was a little surprised when I found a column he wrote in mid-2002. As the War in Afghanistan was heating up people were worried about us killing civilians and other innocent people. Pro-life Ben Shapiro responded to this by writing a Townhall column called Enemy "civilian causalities" ok by me.  
A few things: Most notably "ok" is not a word. The actual work is "okay". You aren't a teenager texting, you're a nationally read columnist. Also, I wouldn't personally random people in a country enemies just because of where they live. 
It should also be pointed out that this was before Ben understood how paragraphs work, meaning he literally just wrote it as a wall of text. But let's see what he actually has to say:

I am getting really sick of people who whine about "civilian casualties."

It's only a crime of war. Why do you guys care so much? You people want America to be a nation among nations. Silly liberals, we're a nation above nations. 

Maybe I'm a hard-hearted guy, but when I see in the newspapers that civilians in Afghanistan or the West Bank were killed by American or Israeli troops, I don't really care.

Side note: Imagine how Ben would react if a liberal wrote an article with the countries reversed. 

In fact, I would rather that the good guys use the Air Force to kill the bad guys, even if that means some civilians get killed along the way.

Fun Fact: US terrorist experts have determined killing innocent people radicalizes normally non-radical people and turns them into terrorists. So Ben, why do you hate America?

For the past decade, the United States and Israel have been attempting to prove their moral superiority by attempting to minimize civilian casualties.

Wait until Ben hears about drones.

The Afghans are fundamentalist Muslims. They didn't seem to mind too much that their women were treated like dogs or that the Taliban enforced Shariah (Muslim law). So frankly, it doesn't matter to me if some of their "civilians" get killed for involvement with the enemy. 

"Everyone else sucks, so why can't I"-Ben Shapiro. Also, why is civilians in quotes?
Anyway the rest of the column is just support for Israel. Plus, considering this column is just a wall of text it's near impossible to follow. So that's it. But remember, Ben is for life as long as the lives haven't been born yet. 

If Donald Trump Is Anti-Establishment Explain Last Week To Me

Before we begin I would like to say that I planned to have this article released on Monday. But Mitchell angered me so much that I felt like I had to get to that first. Sorry about that, but somethings need to be taken down first. With all that said, enjoy the column.
One of the favorite talking points of the new-right is the idea that they are fighting the establishment. From their president ripping Wall Street during the campaign to Paul Joseph Watson trying to make conservatism cool, it seems that taking on "the establishment" is the new talking point of the red party. So I think it's important we look at what the president did last week and see if he's really keeping up with the anti-establishment message. 
#1-Support For Israel  
Despite what Jake Tapper seems to believe, supporting Israel is the establishment position. We give them over $3 billion every year and have for many years. Yet the anti-establishment president gave them all of Jerusalem first thing last week, completely removing any idea of a two-state solution. 
None of this should be surprising considering the president's son met with Israel on the campaign trail, in which Israel expressed support for Donnie. Donald Trump is so anti-establishment, he supports the biggest establishment out there.
Mind you, it seems that the president seems to be aware of how this contradicts his rhetoric. After the decision, his first defense was that other presidents said they would do the same. Because that's how you rage against the machines, same Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama also said they would do the same things you did.
#2-Everything about Gina Haspel 
Yes, Gina Haspel was confirmed for CIA director, and everything about this proves how much Donald Trump loves the establishment. One should really need to start and end with the fact that she engaged in torture under George W. Bush to see where Donald's true support lies. 
And let's not forget that the whole reason Donald needed a new CIA director the sectary of state. There the president is, fighting the deep state by putting them in charge.
Join us next time where Republicans call Donald Trump anti-establishment for praising the establishment. Or as I call it, a rerun. 

Trump Appeases Religious Fanatics By Backing One Of The Worst Countries In The World

So it seems like Donald Trump really wants to be friends with Israel. On Monday Donald Trump declared that it was a "Big day for Israel" because Trump officially opened the US embassy in Jerusalem. Less than a week after he canceled the Iran Deal because Israel told him to. 
Trump has also invited some people to the opening of the embassy. The most notable of which are pastors John Hagge and Robert Jeffress. In case you're wondering, this is John Hagge:

God says in Jeremiah 16 — "Behold I will bring them the Jewish people again unto their land that I gave unto their fathers" — that would be Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - "Behold I will send for many fishers and after will I send for many hunters. And they the hunters shall hunt them" — that will be the Jews — "from every mountain and from every hill and from out of the holes of the rocks." If that doesn't describe what Hitler did in the Holocaust — you can't see that. So think about this — I will send fishers and I will send hunters. A fisher is someone who entices you with a bait. How many of you know who Theodore Herzl was? How many of you don't have a clue who he was? Woo, sweet God! Theodore Herzl is the father of Zionism. He was a Jew that at the turn of the 19th century said, "this land is our land, God wants us to live there". So he went to the Jews of Europe and said, "I want you to come and join me in the land of Israel". So few went, Herzl went into depression. Those who came founded Israel; those who did not went through the hell of the Holocaust. Then God sent a hunter. A hunter is someone who comes with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter. And the Bible says — Jeremiah righty? — "they shall hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and out of the holes of the rocks", meaning: there's no place to hide. And that will be offensive to some people. Well, dear heart, be offended: I didn't write it. Jeremiah wrote it. It was the truth and it is the truth. How did it happen? Because God allowed it to happen. Why did it happen? Because God said, "my top priority for the Jewish people is to get them to come back to the land of Israel". Today Israel is back in the land and they are at Ezekiel 37 and 8. They are physically alive but they're not spiritually alive. Now how is God going to cause the Jewish people to come spiritually alive and say, "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, He is God"?

Sorry that the quotes kind of long, it's just I couldn't find any way to cut it down without watering down how much of an anti-Semitic nut John Hagge is. Jeffress just says Jews are going to hell, but it's still odd that Donald let this man into Israel. Mind you pro-Israel people are the same group that got angry when Jimmy Carter wrote a book that was critical of Israel, but that's beside the point.
Mind you, I don't know what to expect when you consider that Israel has one of the most Warhawk foreign policies in the world. While I did cover Israel's foreign policy with Iran on the 5/8/18 edition of The Ephrom Josine Show, I neglected there much more controversial foreign policy with Palestine. Or as they know it as in Israel, the place that Israel politicians talk about committing genocide against and putting into concentration camps. 
Israel's treatment of Palestine has always been something that no other nation could get away with. It was basically just created one day by the UN in 1947 with no input from Palestine. Then they continued to expand their presence in the area through settlements.
It doesn't help that Israel hasn't exactly been nice to the people whose land they took. Not only are the Palestinians under constant occupation but they are also under constant blockade. And let's not even get into the many attacks that Israel has done on peaceful protesters. Including this Monday, I guess Donald was right, it really was a big day for Israel. 
So all of this leads to one very important question, why are we still supporting them? That's just something that I can't figure out for the life of me. Even when the Palestinians come up with a perfect peace deal Israel, with the help of the US and the UN, strike it down.
And it's hilarious that people honestly believe that the UN is to harsh on Israel after they let it run around unchecked. Every US Senator signed a letter saying the UN needs to stop being as harsh on Israel, I don't even know how we be less harsh on them but I guess we'll have to try. Jake Tapper said this on CNN while using whataboutism in order to make Israel look better. Meanwhile, the UN hasn't even condemned Israel in a way that matters since 2002. 

The segment ends with vague innuendo suggesting the only reason these countries are “singling out” Israel was antisemitism. “You have to ask, is Israel truly deserving of 86 percent of the world’s condemnation,” Tapper pontificated in his best Glenn Beck “just asking questions” mode, “or possibly is something else afoot at the United Nations?”

This is the country that Donald Trump wants us to be even friendlier with. If you ask me we're far to close to them as it is.
