British-Israeli survivor of Palestinian terror campaigns to end incentivizing Muslim hate and violence

Kay Wilson featured in UK Daily Mail article
On December 18, 2010, Anglo-Israeli pianist, Kay Wilson was giving a tour to visiting Texas Christian, Kristine Luken, 46, of a Judean Hills hiking trail. Muslim men attacked them with knives, slaying Ms. Luken and leaving Ms. Wilson for dead. Ms. Wilson's story of survival during the holiday of Chanukah is nothing short of miraculous.

slain by Palestinians thinking
that she was Jewish
Last December, Kay Wilson was traveling through the Los Angeles airport site of a Muslim limo-driver's


attempted massacre at the El Al Airlines check-in desk only 10-months after the terror of Sept. 11, 2001. Six people survived being shot or stabbed, but 2 Israeli-Americans were murdered

In this video interview,  Ms. Wilson shares her story and aim of ending Western taxpayer money being paid to the Palestinian governments who offer encourage incentive pensions for terrorism acts against Jews. Kristine, Kay says, was murdered because the Muslims presumed that she was Jewish.



On December 18th, the anniversary of her assault, yesterday, she published the following message from her home in Israel's capital city, Jerusalem:

Kay Wilson addresses young people on public diplomacy
"Seven years ago today, under knife point in a forest in Israel, I learned things they don't teach in college. I am privileged to share what I have learned, (here with a group of young people training to be ambassadors for Israel) and with you now.

1) Until tragedy struck I was oblivious just how fragile life is. Yes, I paid it lip service but had not absorbed it. Now I am fully cognizant that today may be my last day alive.


2) The terror attack revealed that up until then, I thought life was all about me. I mean, terrorism happens to others, but it could never happen to me.

'Feminist' Linda Sarsour bullied, blackballed Muslima employee - reveals victim of Palestinian sex-abuser in her Arab-American Assoc. building

Linda Sarsour, the anti-Israel activist who helped spearhead the Women's March in Washington earlier this year, allegedly enabled a Muslim neighbor's sexual assaulting and harassment of a woman who worked for her- in a report quoted by Fox News. Allegations of groping and unwanted touching were brought to Sarsour's attention during her time as executive director of the Arab American Association in New York City.

"Linda Sarsour Accused of Enabling Sexual Assault Against Woman who Worked for Her" by Benny Johnson in The Daily Caller, Dec 17, 2017  
The inspiration behind the Women’s March on D.C., Linda Sarsour, has been accused of enabling the alleged sexual assault and harassment of a woman who worked for the feminist activist, according to the victim and two sources directly familiar with the matter.


Allegations of groping and unwanted touching were allegedly brought to Sarsour during her time as executive director of the Arab American Association. In response, Sarsour, a self-proclaimed champion of women, attacked the woman bringing the allegations, often threatening and body-shaming her, these sources alleged. The most serious allegations were dismissed, Asmi Fathelbab, the alleged victim told The Daily Caller, because the accused (Palestinian emigrant, Majed Seif) was a “good Muslim” who was “always at the Mosque.”

Linda Sarsour's parents and husband were raised in Al-Bireh
“She oversaw an environment unsafe and abusive to women,” said Fathelbab, a former employee at the Arab American Association. “Women who put [Sarsour] on a pedestal for women’s rights and empowerment deserve to know how she really treats us.” 
“It’s always going to be the woman’s fault over there,” she alleges. “And Sarsour was there to protect the men. She’s not for other women. The only women she’s for is for herself.”
Ms. Asmi Fathelbab (Facebook photo) 
“She told me I’d never work in NYC ever again for as long as she lived,” Asmi says. “She’s kept her word.  
She had me fired from other jobs when she found out where I worked. She has kept me from obtaining any sort of steady employment for almost a decade.” 
Two people who knew Fathelbab during her time at the Arab American Association spoke with TheDC on condition of anonymity. Both corroborate her story, recalling that Asmi would return “emotionally distressed and in a panic” from work, often describing it as an “unsafe” work environment.
Another New York political insider, who has worked professionally with the Arab American Association for over a decade, says this is not the first time they have heard a complaint like this. 
“Sarsour is only a feminist outwardly,” the insider said on the condition of anonymity, due to the source’s current political position. “Her interactions toward women in that building were atrocious. She would protect the patriarchy and in return they would promote her.”  
Fathelbab career has never recovered, however, after her nightmare at the Arab American Association.
“Just wait until more people start to talk,” she says. “Sarsour is no champion of women. She is an abuser of them.”

"Fauda" on Netflix shows complexities of Israel's wrestling with jihadist aggression

Israeli TV panelists: Tsakhi Halevi (Fauda), Udi Segal (Mossad 101)
Michael Gordon (C.A.A.) and Danna Stern (YES TV Israel)
YES-TV's Fauda and Reshet 13's action drama television series Mossad 101 had their second season premieres at this year’s 31st Israel Film Festival in Los Angeles on November 15th and 16th. Each screening was followed by a panel discussion which featured creators, actors, and distributors of Israeli shows discussing the effects of these programs going international. 

In “Mossad 101” (“Hamidrasha” Hebrew for “The Academy”) cadets from every level of Israeli society undergo intense training to join their country’s elite, classified intelligence service, the Mossad.

Fauda, which means “chaos” in Arabic, follows a close-knit unit of Mista’arvim, the commando unit of the Israel army whose soldiers are trained in the language, dress and mannerisms of Palestinians, and whose undercover work is hailed in Israel for scuppering terror attacks and guiding military operations. The show won six Ophir Awards, including Best Drama Series, at the Israeli Academy Awards. 


CNN: Netflix says it has found the next "Homeland"


Two-years ago, Israel Film Festival organizer Meir Fenigstein introduced "Fauda" to American audiences- which led to C.A.A.'s TV agent, 
Adam Berkowitz, selling the subtitled action/suspense series' rights to Netflix.   This year, the Fest debuted the 2nd season opener to Israeli series "Mossad 101," which of C.A.A. TV intends to sell the format rights to internationally. 




Video playlist includes interviews with Fauda actors Lior Raz and Tsakhi Halevi- and classic Israeli-American actor/director Mike Burstyn. The Fauda actors are joined for a post-screening panel discussion moderated by Itay Hod, entertainment editor of Hollywood's The Wrap news-site, leading a discussion with Fauda co-founding producer Avi Issacaroff, actresses Laetitia Eido (Dr. Shirin), Rona-Lee Shimon (Nurit), composer Gilad ben Amram, director Rotem Shamir. The panel was introduced by Sam Grundwerg, Consul General of Israel in Los Angeles.

Iconic Israeli actor, Mike Burstyn, says that the Israeli TV and film productions are as good as any international productions- and for a fraction of the Hollywood budget. Productions like these, he says, have made greater international recognition of Israel's predicament in the past 5-years than in the previous 50-years.

Vegas massacre motives- ISIS? Antifa? Who participated to comfort the victims? DemoCast goes on-the-scene

Amidst the confusion of the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay Highway 91 country music concert massacre investigation, DemoCast went to Las Vegas looking for answers. Members of the public explain why they came to participate in the ad hoc, outdoor public memorial for the victims of the Las Vegas Mandalay massacre on Las Vegas Boulevard.


Conservative writer, Guy Milliere, perceives the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay massacre as an act of leftist (Antifa) or Islamist political terrorism.


'Mandalay Massacre' Latino parishioners provide hospitalized victims (and their visitors) prayer and assistance:

At L.A. Sept 11 ceremony, Mexican firefighters reaffirm commitment, tested by Puebla quake 8-days later

First-responder firefighters from Mexico City ("Bomberos") visited L.A. for cross-training with the L.A. Fire Department. Their trip coincided with the L.A. September 11th Memorial Ceremony.

Roger Rubio, president of our regional Bombero Association, explains that the Bomberos and L.A.F.D. have a lot of info to share regarding earthquake rescue and recovery. 



Reflecting on the commitment which NY firefighters demonstrated in entering the flaming Twin Towers in New York on September 11th, 2001, the Bomberos affirmed their shared commitment to enter potentially collapsing buildings in order to save civilians. Little did they know that just 8-days later, the Puebla earthquake would test their mettle.

More than 300 people were killed when the quake struck on September 19 -- just two hours after an annual earthquake drill -- turning Mexico City's most seismically unstable neighborhoods into something out of a post-apocalyptic movie.

Rescue and recovery efforts of that quake will require rescheduling their planned mid-October trip back to L.A. with 100 other bomberos. But when they return, they will have far more current experience with which to teach the Los Angeleno firefighters regarding earthquake disaster relief.

Patriot Day ceremony in L.A. reminds first-responders of the war on terror

 L.A.P.D. and L.A.F.D. brass participated in the city's
annual Sept 11th/ Patriot Day ceremony in Elysian Park
The Los Angeles Fire Department held its annual Patriot Day ceremony on September 11th, with a gathered audience of police, firefighters, the media, and Fire Cadets. LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas, Police Chief Charlie Beck, and California Secretary of State Alex Padilla addressed the crowd.

Chief Terrazas paid tribute to the New York firefighters who rushed into the burning towers of the World Trade Center to successfully evacuate thousands of people in the immediate aftermath of the attack. Many did not make it out themselves: Of the nearly 3,000 Americans killed that day, more than 400 were first-responders, including 343 New York firefighters.

The total number of rescue and recovery workers to have died since Sept. 11, 2001 exceeded 1,000 as of last year, according to a Newsweek report.

Councilman Tom LaBonge stand before the largest remnant
of NYC's jihadist-collapsed World Trade Center

This year, FDNY Capt. Orio Palmer was honored for his heroism on Sept. 11, 2001. After the second plane hit the South Tower of the WTC, Palmer took an elevator to the 41st floor, then ran up 37 more flights of stairs to reach the impact zone on the 78th floor.

Former L.A. City Councilman Tom LaBonge told DemoCast, all were here today to recognize those who lost their lives ... in the Twin Towers- and well over 300 firefighters, NY Police Department as well as the Port Authority (Police). ... After 16-years, look at the children of this firefighter (referring to Capt. Palmer) - now she's 25 and older and maybe having a family herself, but never to meet her father because that chief gave the ultimate sacrifice."

"Let's honor the fallen not just by remembering but by being active," said L.A. Police Chief Charlie Beck. "We remember, but we also come together to commit and to recognize."

L.A.P.D. Chief Charlie Beck addressed 9/11 ceremony
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, like President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, avoided mentioning the Islamist-motivation of terrorists or their agenda- waging jihad to conquer non-Muslims (and their lands) for the Ummah (Muslim communities around the world). Mr. Padilla's attributed why they attacked us as: "...Their (the victims) lives that were cut far too short were lost because of our very way of life. Those freedoms I've talked about. That democracy that we pride ourselves in.  So let's continue to be proud of our values as a nation. We value diversity, we value equality, we value speech, we value freedom of religion, our ability to practice our own faith."

None of the other speakers of this day mentioned who attacked America 16-years ago that day, or who is still waging jihad to conquer non-Muslims (and their lands) for the Ummah. Watch to see what officials claim was the motive- and who they name as the culprit challenging the West, then and now. And how a veteran Fire Captain feels about the cover-up.


 Capt. (ret.) James Finn
Pres., L.A.F.D. Educational Institute
For the past 16-years, Western government officials have avoided educating the public about Islamic imperialist history of terror intimidation and conquering non-Muslim societies under Islam (as two, historic jihads have in the Middle East, north Africa, and Europe). Today, fundamentalists influence politics (and public opinion) through acts of aggression- not only from organizations, such as The Islamic State/ISIS or Al-Qaeda (who conducted the 9/11 attacks), but also by individual, radicalized Muslims.

September 11th is the one day on which people relax society's imposed Islamophobia-filter and are most receptive to being taught not just how we were attacked, but who, why, and what movement has been at war against non-Muslims since the attack on US Marines barracks in Beirut, October 23, 1983.  For the sake of the youthful cadets' as well as public safety, September 11 is a good time to address that jihadists attacked us then, and continue hostility to dominate, convert, and control non-Muslims all around the globe.

We spoke with Islamist political expert, Daniel Greenfield, editor of FrontPage Magazine's "The Point" and the Sultan Knish blog, at Beverly Hills' 9/11 Memorial Garden after the L.A.F.D.'s 9/11/17 Memorial Ceremony.



Mr. Greenfield asked when imperialist Japan and Nazi Germany fought us, what would have been the wisdom towards national security if our officials avoided mentioning their names or goals?

Today, we have a generation of young people too young to have learned the need for our defense against Islamism- political Islam. In his November 2002, letter to the American people, Osama bin-Laden wrote the intention of the Islamist movement, "What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you? The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam. . . . It is the religion of Jihad in the way of Allah so that Allah's Word and religion reign Supreme. And it is the religion of unity and agreement on the obedience to Allah..."

'September 11ths should assess and renew our defenses against Islamo-Fascism'- Daniel Greenfield

The dwindling number of ceremonies that commemorate the  jihadist attacks on NYC and Washington, September 11, 2001 typically focus as a memorial for victims: the first-responders among the nearly 3,000 Americans killed by the plane crashes. In the 16-years since the terror attacks, Islamist and leftist advocacy enterprises have shifted the focus away from the political Islam ("Islamism") motive of the al-Qaeda civilian attackers to terrorize Americans (and the on-looking world) to fear Islam and submit to it- religiously, culturally, and politically. Liberals intentionally conflate Islam and Islamism to make the criticizing of Islamism or Islamist politics (be they Islamist immigration into the West or the Muslim quest to liberate Jews from Israel - to rejoin a state of Muslim Palestine with the global Caliphate) as racist and taboo.

Not all Muslims are Islamist, but all Islamists are motivated by orthodox Islam- and to inhibit criticizing the Islamist movement to Islamize the world is to imperil the West's defenses to it. Westerners who came of age in the past 16-years are not commonly exposed to the motivations of the attackers. Manhattan journalist, Daniel Greenfield, who was affected by the 2001 attack, addresses the issue in a series of essays and exclusive interview he conducted with Democracy Broadcasting from the 9/11 Memorial Ceremony in Beverly Hills, California. 

"Everything I Needed to Know About Islam I Learned on 9/11  How September 11 made me what I am." by Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage Magazine, September 11, 2017 

Mr. Greenfield  reads from his essay in this interview, conducted in the 9/11 Memorial Garden in Beverly Hills, following the Beverly Hills Fire Department's 9/11 Memorial Ceremony at dusk. Article is excerpted below. 




"In the years since 2001, I have seen that look on the faces of countless leftists who ignore the stabbers shouting, “Allahu Akbar” in London or the terrorist declaring, "In the name of Allah, the merciful," among the bloody ruin of a gay nightclub in Orlando. Instead they focus on their mindless slogans.

“NO WAR,” “Stop Islamophobia” and “Refugees Welcome.” The world of the cardboard sign and the simple slogan is an easier and neater one than a sky filled with the ashes of the dead.

On September 11, some of us opened our eyes. Others closed them as hard as they could.

That Tuesday irrevocably divided my generation. Some joined the military, the police or became analysts. Others turned left-wing activists, volunteered as lawyers for terrorists or converted to Islam.

The passengers on Flight 93 who took the lead were in their thirties. But the two firefighters who made it to the 78th floor of the South Tower, Ronald Bucca, who did duty in Vietnam as a Green Beret, and Orio Palmer, a marathon runner, were in their forties. Those men and women had the most meaningful answers to the old question, “Where were you when it happened?” I was just one of countless people moving upstream away from Ground Zero.



The great lesson of that Tuesday morning was that it wasn’t over. It wasn’t over when we understood that we wouldn’t find anyone alive in that twisted mass of metal and death. It wasn’t over when the air began to clear. It wasn’t over when the President of the United States spoke. It wasn’t over when the planes began to fly again and the TV switched from non-stop coverage of the attacks and back to its regularly scheduled programming. It wasn’t over when we were told to mourn and move on.

It still isn’t over. After every attack, Boston, Orlando, San Bernardino, New York, Paris, Manchester, London, Barcelona, we are encouraged to mourn and move on. Bury the bodies, shed a tear and forget about
it. Terrible things happen. And we have to learn to accept them.


But Tuesday morning was not a random catastrophe. It did not go away because we went back to shopping. It did not go away with Hope and Change. Appeasing and forgetting only made it stronger.

Everything I needed to know about Islam, I learned on September 11. The details of the theology came later. I couldn’t quote the Koran while the sirens were wailing. But I learned the essential truth.  And so did you."

Mr. Greenfield assesses America's misplaced politically-correct reluctance to address Islamism and how it inhibits our cultural defense to Islamo-Fascist influence.

The Right 9/11 Memorial by Daniel Greenfield in The Point, Sept 11, 2017"The terrorists and the memorial-makers have a common purpose-- to make us forget what we are capable of. To drown us in our own pain and grief, to make us drink of the Lethe waters of reflecting pools until we forget who we are. The terrorists and the memorials have done their best to break us. But it is not in grief that we must remember the day. Grief is for the foregone conclusion. But though thousands upon thousands are lost-- we are not yet lost. And the war is not over.

The holes in the ground are not symbols of grief, or empty places in our hearts, they are open wounds inflicted on us by our enemies. Filling them with water will not change that, only anesthetize the pain of a fatal injury. To forget that is to sink into a mirage and die in delirium that we are recovering.

The attacks of September 11 are not a time for reflection, or personal remembrance, but a sharp reminder that we are bleeding. And we can only bleed for so long before we die. There are worse things out there than four hijacked planes used as missiles. There are actual missiles and suitcase nukes, nerve gas, toxins and whatever else can be dredged out of laboratories by Western trained researchers.

L.A.F.D holds 9/11 Memorial Service for Police, LAFD, and cadets

And even worse than these is the endless struggle, the constant waiting for another attack, the security measures meant to keep us safe while imprisoning us in our own security, the waiting for the day when an attack succeeds. The day we die.



September 11 is not the day we cry, it is the day we get angry. It is the day we remember who our killers were, how many have been lost, and how little has been done to bring down the ideology responsible as completely as they brought the towers down. It is the day we remember not to forget. It is the day we remember that the war has just begun and that until it ends, there can be no comfort or solace. The fight goes on."

September 11 commemorations recognize victims & rescuers- but who's educating about the objectives of Islamic imperialists?

Outside the NY/NJ metropolitan area, commemorations of the Islamist attacks against Americans on September 11, 2001 are few and far between. Most focus on the firefighters and first-responders lost in the attacks. But where is the teaching opportunity, 16-years later, of the Islamist imperialism the West must defend itself against?


Trump Makes Proclamations Ahead of 9/11 Anniversary
Declares three days of prayer and remembrance ahead of 16th anniversary
BY: Jack Heretik in Free Beacon, Sept 8th

In observance of the 16th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, President Donald Trump has declared Friday through Sunday of this week to be "Days of Prayer and Remembrance," and Monday to be "Patriot Day."

A revealing conversation with L.A. millenial actress, Grace Bannon, visiting the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center in 2014- about what her generation has been taught about jihadism- and what the 9/11 Memorial Museum teaches (or doesn't) about the threats against democracy from it.


"During National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, our Nation recalls the nearly 3,000 innocent people murdered on September 11, 2001. As we reflect on our sorrow and our grief, we come together to pray for those who lost loved ones," Trump said. "As a Nation, we pray that the love of God and the comfort of knowing that those who perished are forever remembered brings them peace and gives them courage."In Trump's declaration that Friday through Sunday be dedicated to prayer and remembrance of those who died in the attacks, the president referred to the "Survivor Tree" at the World Trade Center site in Manhattan.
The Survivor Tree, November 2001
The Survivor Tree,  a Callery pear tree, was discovered in the days following the attacks with "snapped roots and burned and broken branches," according to the memorial website. The tree was placed in the care of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, rehabilitated, and later returned to the memorial in 2010.

Monday, Sept. 11, in accordance with a 2001 law, will be Patriot Day in tribute to those who died in the attacks, and also to first responders and members of the American armed forces. (source)

DemoCast reported on Kevin Dornan's documentary, Liberty, Courage and Hope, which explores the life of a NYC fireman killed by the al-Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center - as an example of the many patriots whose lives were taken by Islamic imperialism.

Former Muslim, Nonie Darwish, explains that, contrary to multicultural apologists' claims, Islamic theology Inspires Muslims to terrorize infidels into conversion or subjugation under Muslim socio-political rule.

LOS ANGELES (Sep. 01, 2017) LA Fleet Week is an opportunity for the public to meet their Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard teams and experience America's sea services. During fleet week, service members will participate in various community service events, showcase capabilities and equipment to the community and enjoy the hospitality that Los Angeles and surrounding areas have to offer. (US Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Adam Henderson/Released)

Downtown San Pedro Business Development District hosted a Welcome Party Wednesday for the kickoff of 2nd Annual Fleet Week at the Port of L.A. City official, Ms. Lorena Parker, describes their initiative in this video news report. The San Pedro Property Owners' Alliance welcomed the sailors and Marines, with nostalgic and patriotic musical theater entertainment from The Satin Dollz.




The ships participating in Fleet Week, which runs through Labor Day Monday, are the US Navy minesweeper USS Scout; the amphibious vessel USS Anchorage; the destroyer USS Dewey; Royal Canadian Navy Frigate HMCS Ottawa; and the US Coast Guard Cutter CGC Active. See http://LAFleetWeek.org for more info.

Socialist-activists associated with Code:Pink solicited for the promenading crew-members to attend the week-long, anti-military protest running alongside the event, which they call L.A. Harbor Peace Week.


Ms. Rachel Bruhnke, was soliciting US Marines and Navy crew-members (female and male) at the San Pedro Naval Fleet-Week Welcome Night to attend a series of pacifist social events she is involved in hosting to subvert the crew-members' commitment to their job, team, mission, and purpose. Might they turn one or more crewmembers to sabotage their technology or their crew-members or superiors' orders? Ms. Bruhnke claims to be anti-imperialist, but undermines America's defense against Communist and Islamist imperialism. How much does she support such imperialism and the totalitarianism which accompanies Islamo-Marxism?  Code:Pink's LA Harbor Peace Week- peace through surrender? Ms. Bruhnke is a member of Witness for Peace Southwest, a co-sponsor of the LA Harbor Peace Week over the Labor Day weekend which events are co-sponsored by Occupy Torrance/SouthBay and the MLK Coalition.  

Islamic imperialism has targeted America and Europe since the late 1700's. President Thomas Jefferson's steps to thwart Muslim Barbary Pirates ransoming their captured, "infidel" US sailors from slavery was dramatized in the 1950 movie, "Tripoli," from which the "Marine Hymn" gets it's lyrics "to the shores of Tripoli." The original "leathernecks" uniform was instituted to resist Muslim beheading of American seamen in defensive battle even then.
