Unvaccinated older Israelis, have a serious COVID rate six times higher than those vaccinated  

As government desperately tries to galvanize 1.1 million who are spurning vaccine, data shows that severe cases also far higher among younger people if they aren’t inoculated

Today, 1:05 pm  

Despite the Delta variant, vaccines are delivering high protection, and the rate of serious infections in Israel is six times higher among older people who fail to inoculate than others in the same age bracket.

Health Ministry data shows that among Israelis aged 60-plus, there are 16.6 people per 100,000 in serious condition. Among the unvaccinated the figure is 98.5. (There were 394 people in serious condition nationwide as of Tuesday morning, the ministry said.)

Israel is struggling with a major COVID-19 spike, and on Tuesday coronavirus czar Salman Zarka said the country was at a “critical point.”

NEW YORK — Israel has asked the Biden administration to use its bully pulpit to encourage several Palestinian families facing Israeli eviction from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah to accept a compromise proposed by the Supreme Court that would allow them to stay put for the foreseeable future, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel on Monday.

“The deal allows the Palestinians to climb down [from their position], and we asked the Americans to encourage the families to do so before it’s too late,” the official said, confirming the request first reported by the Haaretz daily.

Speaking of ‘science,’ which data show that humans, CO2, and fossil fuels cause global warming?  

By Jack Hellner, AM THINKER

Another day, another dire warning about global warming. The press and its taskmasters could essentially Xerox a copy of what they printed for the public in the Washington Post in 1922, or a UN report in 1989, or a UN report in 2019 for this report here:

U.N. climate report likely to deliver stark warnings on global warming

As always, journalists just print and repeat these ever-ending reports to scare the public into submission with no questions asked.

Illegal construction continues in Area C while the authorities play ping-pong  

T. Belman.  This makes me so upset that I want to spit blood.  And its been going on since forever.  The same for how we are not dealing with the Bedouin.

REGEVIM

We’ve often mentioned the “Order for Demolition of New Structures” – legislation from 2018 that was approved by the High Court in recent rulings. On paper, the legislation empowers the demolition of new, illegal structures in Judea and Samaria within 96 hours.

However, since the legislation was passed, the Civil Administration has rarely used the enforcement tool – despite the widespread problem of mass illegal construction.

Democrats’ Defund-the-Police Debacle  

By Charles Lipson, RCP

Democrats' Defund-the-Police Debacle

It’s easy to find politicians saying dumb things. Television news gives them plenty of coverage. Viewers like colorful voices, which are often the most extreme. The resulting Kardashianization of politics doesn’t matter much unless these caricatures tarnish an entire political party, define its public perception, and compromise its chances of passing legislation and winning elections.

What “Everyone Knows”  

By Victor Rosenthal

Why do supposedly “pro-Israel” voices so often add a disclaimer to their remarks, as if they are embarrassed to say anything wholeheartedly good about us?

In an article that is devastating to Ben and Jerry’s and other boycotters, Alan Dershowitz nevertheless finds it necessary to mention that he sometimes “disagrees with Israeli policies,” and that he “fervently hope[s] that the Israeli government and the Palestinian leadership will return to the negotiating table,” implying that it is even partially Israel’s fault that the conflict continues.

Biden’s Middle East Policy  

By Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”

Disengagement from the Middle East?

The Middle East is situated between Europe, Asia and Africa, and between the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf.

President Biden wishes to disengage from the Middle East, but the Middle East does not intend to disengage from the US.

The US is perceived by rogue Middle East entities as “The Great Satan” and the mega-obstacle on their way to achieve their mega-goal: bringing the West to submission, militarily, culturally and religiously. This mega-goal has been deeply-rooted since the 7th century, independent of US policies.

South Africa may have the most antisemitic government in the free world  

Mandela was sympathetic to Zionism as a movement for freedom and self-determination. Today SA befriends N. Korea, not Israel

By Steve Apfel, INN

The millennium began full of contagious hope and fierce ambition. Not coincidentally, South Africa had a government which knew right from wrong. As the darling of the West the country had five jewels in its crown.

  • Nelson Mandela
  • A constitution second to none
  • A legacy of 1st world infrastructure
  • High-voltage vitality
  • A nation at peace with itself

It’s not just the rising prices and loss of hope that makes the Biden administration feel like a rerun of the Obama administration. In the birthplace of the Arab Spring, the same sorry drama is playing out after popular protests once again ousted the Ennahda Muslim Brotherhood plotters who keep trying to take over the country, while the usual suspects in D.C. are fuming.

Biden: White Supremacy is ‘the Most Lethal Threat to Our Homeland In Recent Years’  

He can only hope that the jihadis decide to cooperate with his Big Lie.

By Robert Spencer, JIHAD WATCH

Joe Biden, in a USA Today op-ed Tuesday that one of his handlers whipped up for him, claimed that “the most lethal terrorist threat to our homeland in recent years has been domestic terrorism rooted in white supremacy.” Old White Joe, or his ghostwriter, was in a pugnacious mood: “We cannot ignore it. We must confront the spread of hate-fueled violence in every form.”

You know what they say about the Big Lie: it gains acceptance through relentless repetition. That’s certainly what’s happening with the claim that “white supremacy” is the biggest terror threat the nation faces today.
