Darshan-Leitner is an Israeli lawyer who argues that there is no such
thing as "the lone wolf" terrorist. The lone wolf depends upon
substantial financial resources of the terrorist groups that recruit
them, encourage their murderous ways, and teach them the craft necessary
to take down Western society.

After
Sayfullo Saipov allegedly rammed his terror truck into pedestrians,
cyclists and a school bus — with a crowd of Stuy students on the bridge
over West Street bearing witness — we never thought we'd hear the words
"not guilty" come out of his mouth. Last week, when news of his
plea in court went through our halls, many of us had one reaction. How
the hell could he claim to be innocent?

Jihadists,
the tip of the sharia-supremacist spear, rationalize mass murder by
denying the humanity of their enemies: Their doctrine teaches that
non-Muslims are less than fully human and that their existence while
refusing to accept Allah's law is offensive. In the same way, Islamists,
the
broader population of sharia supremacists, rationalize the
destruction of their perceived enemies, Israel in particular,
by denying the reality of their legitimate existence.

President
Trump's announcement is, at its core, a bureaucratic one. He will move
the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in recognition of the indisputable fact
that Jerusalem is Israel's capital.
December 6, 2017 • The
American Spectator
Now
that he formally has announced that the United States of America fully
recognizes Jerusalem as the undisputed capital of the country of Israel,
President Donald Trump once again has proven that he is the first

President
Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital is a perfect
response to President Obama's benighted decision to change American
policy by engineering the United Nations Security Council resolution
declaring Judaism's holiest places in Jerusalem to be occupied
territory and a "flagrant violation under international law."

President
Trump was correct when he said Wednesday that recognizing Jerusalem as
Israel's capital is "nothing more nor less than a recognition of
reality—it is also the right thing to do." In fact, the U.S.
decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital is 68 years overdue.

I
am surprised at the rending of garments and apocalyptic predictions
pouring forth from western pundits over something that will not change a
single stone in the holy city, or a single person's access to its holy
sites, or a single border—and that overwhelming majorities of Congress
and virtually every president and presidential candidate has
endorsed for decades.

Ahmed's life in Minneapolis seemed carefree — a clean-shaven family man
