  1. Whatever happened it is tragic and really in truth we do not know. I will try to find out what I can but until I do I will keep my mouth shut.

    I am reacting to Adam and Michael. I see them as exactly the same as the Palestine thugs

    The same way of operating.

    And I did look at one of your sources. The Daily Mail.

    You and Adam are one big agency which excuses the terrible crimes against Jews in Ukraine.

    Why have you never dealt with that?

  2. Adam

    You are totally sick in your hatred of Putin and of Russia

    We do not know what happened. But we can understand what a blow this is to his family to lose such a gifted human being.

    But like the Palestine Locos in their hatred of Jews you see something and lash out.

    And like those weirdos you similarly show NOT EVEN COMMON SENSE

  3. For the Jordan option discussion. I though Jordan is part of Israel’s promised land. Is not Jordan part of it? If it is part of it, why the Jordan option is being discussed?

  4. Critics of the Russian government and its president, Vladimir Putin, have been commenting over the past year have commented on how many critics of the president or his policies have died by falling out of upper-story windows. Just yesterday, the leading male ballet dancer, whose name I can’t pronounce, just died yesterday after falling out of a fifth story window. The police have ruled the death an accident. He was only 39 years old.

  5. WWIII is in the news again

    https://rumble.com/v5rpavw-mass-layoffs-have-started…-how-to-protect-your-income.html?e9s=rel_v2_ep

    The first part of the video is about current and likely future massive unemployment in the US, but then Pavlovski goes on to talk about what I am starting to call the “New Great Northern War” — a war that has greatly escalated.

    The latest expansion has been the entry of thousands of North Korean troops into Ukraine and Russia. This has drawn a response from South Korea, which is still in a 75-year war with the Pyongyang regime. The South is calling on a massive response from its allies in North America, Europe and other places.

  6. The noose is tightening around Netanyau and Israel’s neck. Not only has the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, but both Britain and the Netherlands have said they will arrest Bibi and hand him over to the ICC if he enters their soil. This is the most extreme and vicious measure that the European countries and the international judicial bodies have ever taken against Israel. have ever taken against Israel. The only other example of this kind of behavior by the “international community” and the NATO and EU powers is the abduction and kangaroo court trial of Slobadan Milosivic in the Netherlands by the “Special Criminal” court to try “war crimes in the former Yugoslavia” between 1995 and 1999. Milosevic was even dinied adequate medical treatment for his heart condition, and died in captivity.

    But somehow, at least to me, this treatment of Israel as a criminal country and its leaders as criminals to be tried in foreign countries is even more outrageous than the persecution of the Serbian leadership, Some Bosnian Serb units did commit atrocities during the Yugoslav wars, although many of the accusations proved to be false, and the leaders of the Bosnian Muslims and the Croats, who also committed atrocities, were never tried.

    Israel, however has the strongest record of any country in recorded history of doing everything possible to protect the lives of civilians, including “enemy” civilians, in time of war. This makes the criminalization of Israel and criminal charges against her leaders one of the worst crimes in human history. Full equal in viciousness, depravity and ignorance to the outrageous trials of Jewish leaders in the middle Ages, and at times as recently as the twentieth century, for allegedly murdering Christian children in order to use their blood to make matzot.

    Ted and Peloni, please an article about this extreme, unprecedented outrage in the next Israpundit column or as soon as possible. Israpundit and all patriotic Jewish newspapers should get on this case and expose it to as wide and audience as possible.

  7. So the ICC has delivered arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. President Herzog has spoken up;

    The International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant on war crimes charges marks “a dark day for justice and humanity,” states President Isaac Herzog.

    “Taken in bad faith, the outrageous decision at the ICC has turned universal justice into a universal laughingstock. It makes a mockery of the sacrifice of all those who fight for justice – from the Allied victory over the Nazis till today,” the president declares.

    The court’s decision “ignores the plight of the 101 Israeli hostages held in brutal captivity by Hamas in Gaza,” he continues.

    “It ignores Hamas’s cynical use of its own people as human shields. It ignores the basic fact that Israel was barbarically attacked and has the duty and right to defend its people. It ignores the fact that Israel is a vibrant democracy, acting under international humanitarian law, and going to great lengths to provide for the humanitarian needs of the civilian population.”

    By issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, the ICC has “chosen the side of terror and evil over democracy and freedom, and turned the very system of justice into a human shield for Hamas’ crimes against humanity,” Herzog charges, calling for “true moral clarity in the face of an Iranian empire of evil that seeks to destabilize our region and the world.”

    Finally he has said something I can agree to.

  8. A Prisoner’s Suit for Nasrallah: What could have been?

    After several days of his elimination, we saw his body being pulled in a bag from that deep hole in his underground hiding place. His body remained intact. Surely the IDF knew exactly where Nasrallah was and they could have retrieved his body before Hezbollah men could find it.

    Arabs are still in shock of what happened, so they were in complete panic just after Nassrallah’ elimination, that is, no action could be taken.

    If that happened and given that Nasrallahs’ body was intact, the IDF could have shown the body on TV after dressing it in a white nylon prisoner suit. Hezbollah would then have accepted any Israeli conditions to retrieve the body back.

  9. The “deep state” swamp must be drained by the voters.. The filthy swamp draining crew needs a mandate of massive proportions. Followed by the restructuring of the police.

  10. BOMBSHELL: The roommate of Jose Ibarra, the man charged with Laken Riley’s m*rder, testified that they both received a taxpayer-funded flight to Georgia.

    The Biden-Harris admin paid for Jose Ibarra to fly to Georgia where he k*IIed Laken Riley.

    Libs of TikTok

  11. The Pope is siccing the catholics on Israel and Jews:

    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/399347

    The popes showed no concern for the Armenian Genocide, Holocaust, the Iraqi violent ethnic cleansing of the Assyrians (for the last 30 years), or any other past or recent genocide but when there is a chance to smear the the Jews – he can’t miss it!!!

  12. Unconfirmed reports that Khamenei has fallen into a coma and died erupting on X. OSINTdefender reports that “the Accounts that are spreading these claims are not in any way to be considered as Reliable Sources.”

  13. Edgar you are correct prepare for the worst and hope for the best. The citizens of Israel had better take a serious look at Leviticus 25:2 when you come into the land I give you. — Lev.26:4. If not I’m afraid this war is not done yet.

  14. READER_
    Yes it’s always right to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. All major leaders have done this throughout the ages.

    But your pessimism is totally unfounded.

    You “look” for problems where none exist, and then worry yourself about them.

    Self deceiving.

    Israel does have a sharp, cutting edge standing army of about 250,000 or more., I don’t see how you can say otherwise, and the bulk of the male population up to about age 40 as Miluim with regular training updates throughout the year.

    If the situation worsened beyond this then every able bodied man-and many women- would rally to Israel’s defence.

    NEVER AGAIN is a true slogan believe me.

  15. @Edgar G.

    the mamzerim would not look at it ans as you know well, they rejected it before, and during the “offer”.

    Maybe they rejected it because there was something about Israel’s sovereignty in it, and they want Israel completely wiped out “with no preconditions”.

    They may accept a better offer or they hope to try and force Israel to accept the UN decision to create another Arab sovereign state in the same areas as The Deal of the Century, and then they will attack again, this time as an Arab sovereign state which cannot be wiped out or cancelled.

    This is why they are waiting for Israel to be defeated (Israel accepting ceasefires, making painful concessions, its population leaving the country, getting divided and demoralized, its economy suffering because Israel lacks a standing army, all it has is a militia of less than half a million people, etc.)

    And, I hate to say this, Israel’s so-called best friends have the same goal, i.e., to defeat Israel and to kill Jews.

    And, I hate to say this, Jews, as a people, don’t have the goal to save their state and their lives and to defeat their enemies once and for all in order to prevent the next Holocaust.

    Jews prefer (in the majority) to stick their heads in the sand up to their butts and to practice DENIAL.

    About my “pessimism” – I think it is prudent to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

  16. READER

    That old chestnut surely is not still hanging around. iSRAEL’S attitude has hardened beyond titanium since then, and even then it was only delaying action talk. Talking is one thing…doing is another. The PM has sworn that there will never be a “palestinian” state.

    And the pople would never assent to being cut in half, either above or below ground.

    Why are you so often needlessly pessimistic..All of Israel’s spare energy is geared to Arab emigration as you WELL know. You’ll worry yourself into depression if you don’t stop.

    Trump and Israelis KNEW there was no danger with the ‘Deal of the Century”. The machers knew that the mamzerim would not look at it ans as you know well, they rejected it before, and during the “offer”.And after 4 years, Israel took de jure possession of YESHA as it already had de facto..

    Trump is no fool and has Israel’s interests deeply embedded in his heart.
    Being the best US President for Israel in history was no accident.

    So stop making silly analogies with mousetraps and a totally outdated never really considered talking-point.

    Recall Tzipi Livni was appointed the lead in Israeli-Arab “discussions” which had no ending -as it was planned that way.

    Just time wasting talking-points as I’ve said.

  17. Netanyahu: “I spoke to President-elect Donald Trump three times last week. They were very good and productive conversations. We will not allow these atrocities to repeat themselves. Trump and I see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.”

  18. Al Arabiya reports Israel took out Salim Ayash (Hezbollah), the assassin who killed Lebanese PM Rafik al-Hariri back in 2005. Ayash had a $10 million US bounty on him.

  19. @Edgar G.

    A 23rd Arab state in both Gaza and Judea and Samaria with a connection between them that cuts Israel in half at the waist is a mouse trap for the YESHA Arabs…

    NO, Israel is not the cheese, the cheese is the fake offer of partial sovereignty in J&S for Israel followed by the two-state FINAL (for Israel and Jews, to make it clear) solution.

    The last time it was offered, the settlers figured it out, I hope they will do the same this time.

  20. brooklynbubba

    We ALL know the 3NOS.
    in case you missed them they are plastered at the very top of each israpundit issue.
    You should wipe your glasses, better get new ones, and a little saechal.

  21. READER-

    If it IS a mousetrap, the cheese certainly is NOT Israel. If it is a trap it’s set for the YESHA Arabs, with Israel waiting right within striking distance.

  22. EXACTLY – no room to squirm – TRUMP LISTEN!!!!
    Israel should declare three nos;
    no to nuclear Iran, no to two-state solution, no to bi-national state
    DON’T ALLOW IRAN TO WIN AN INCH!!!!!

  23. Hook: Trump’s plan has everything the Saudis are demanding
    Ex-envoy says Trump aims to weaken Iran, ‘deal of the century’ likely back on table
    Brian Hook, who will reportedly lead Trump’s transition at State Dept., accuses Biden administration of ‘appeasing and accommodating’ Iran, leading to ‘failure of deterrence’

  24. @peloni
    It is not your opinion, it is ESP.

    If Trump wants a decisive victory for Israel, why does he keep insulting Jews?

    About his anger – I was being sarcastic, I imagined the Jewish self-blame reaction, how we haven’t done enough to have him elected thus causing his righteous anger.

  25. Reader

    TO YOU it necessitates a decisive ISRAELI victory

    To Trump it necessitates a decisive Israeli victory. What I or the Dearborne Arabs believe are quite irrelevant, but what Trump’s own spokeswoman states, Trump wants a decisive victory for Israel, which is what I stated, and it is not my opinion.

    Is he STILL angry with us?!

    I thought you weren’t complaining?

  26. Trump had claimed Jews would ‘have a lot to do with’ a loss
    Trump hails ‘historic’ coalition that propelled his election win, doesn’t cite US Jews
    President-elect thanks Black, Hispanic, Arab and Muslim voters, but not Jewish Americans; RJC asserts Jews helped win some swing states, as exit polls show vast majority backed Harris

    Is he STILL angry with us?!

    What are we TO DO!?!?!?

  27. @peloni

    the very peace which Trump is promising the Dearborne Hamas supporters, necessitates a decisive Israeli victory

    It is YOUR OPINION.

    TO YOU it necessitates a decisive ISRAELI victory, TO THEM it necessitates a decisive ARAB victory which means turning all of Israel into “Palestine” and getting rid of all the Jews.

    Whatever Trump said could be understood either way depending on the way one wanted to understand it.

    Anyway, when Trump takes power, he will have to disappoint either the Jews or the Arabs and occasionally both.

  28. @Reader

    To me, it is immoral to promise anything and everything to everyone knowing that you will get out of it later just so you can get more votes.

    Trump did not promise everything and anything to the Arabs of Dearborne. In fact, he was asked to support the TSS and to agree that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. While ignoring these statements, Trump renewed his support for peace in the region. He also did not walk back his earlier statements of destroying Hamas and Hezbollah and denying Iran the ability to become a nuclear power. While it was not pleasing to see him seek out support of these vile terror-supporting Dearborners, there was common ground to be exploited, and Trump needed an overwhelming victory to clinch the too big to rig strategy which won him the election.

    What is more, the very peace which Trump is promising the Dearborne Hamas supporters, necessitates a decisive Israeli victory over Hamas and Hezbollah. Maintaining Israel as the regional strong horse is the clinching factor which brough about the Abraham Accords, and it will also be the clinching factor which will make the IMEC possible. For this to take place, it will require a remaking of the Middle East, and the elimination of both Hezbollah and Hamas, both of which are notorious and outright enemies of the US. Yet, time will tell how complete the victory over Hezbollah will be, and how long it will take Israel to achieve this outcome now that they have removed the squeaky wheel Gallant and replaced him with what appears to be a far more formidable DM in Katz.

  29. @Edgar

    If my post, as you say, had a pejorative aspect against Trump, it was EXACTLY that it was politics and he was looking for votes.

    To me, it is immoral to promise anything and everything to everyone knowing that you will get out of it later just so you can get more votes.

    It is surely great marketing and entertainment but…

  30. READER-

    No, you didn’t mentionn Harris, but to me, it was implied. Your post had a pejorative aspect against trump, for which I had to respond that it was POLITICS and he was looking for votes.

    If I am/was in error I deeply apologise and please regard it as not said.

  31. @Edgar

    I didn’t say anything about Harris, and I certainly wasn’t complaining.

    I said that Trump went to Dearborn to court the Arab voters.

    Apparently, it worked and he got their votes.

    Clever, clever!

  32. READER_

    You were complaining that Trump was Appeasing muslims in his Dearborn rally. And tat it would only help Harris because of the large Muslim Pop.

    Well he carried Michegan handily. That tells us Something-don’t know what….yet.

  33. TRUMP so far has 297 Electoral College votes. A looming landslie as was predicted.

    It also shows up all the fake sites and video news casts who were totally misleading.

  34. @Peloni, correct me if I am wrong you reside not in Israel nor have you lived in Israel for a long time? The following is not meant to offend you so please take no offense.

    Dermer is a bright man and is loyal to Israel and Bibi. He is very useful to Bibi as he trusts his intelligence and complete loyalty. That all said Israelis would never elect him to a post such as Prime Minister. He has no constituency even among the moderate amount of American Olim ( immigrants) in Israel.

    Like him or not Bennett has a significant amount of people that would vote for him
    they range from the center to the moderate right on the political spectrum. Whether he gets to be Prime Minister ever I do not know as that has too many variables in it to calculate and I am not a fortune teller.

    Bennett has been elected to office more than once. He has made mistakes but many people have forgotten or forgiven them. When Bibi is out of the picture or even if he runs at the head of a new party next election, while Bibi is still around expect him to be in the Knesset perhaps with a decent sized party according to many previous scenario polls. Who know he could even be in a coalition with the Likud, eventually moving into the Likud in some manner.

  35. @Edgar

    so a right wing govt seems a certainly for the next 4=5=6 years.

    Or longer. The problem in the long term lies in who might become Bibi’s ultimate successor, and herein lies a potentially serious problem. Hopefully, the well disgraced Bennett and Saar will not be in the running, even as they are each taking a different road to try to obscure their costly efforts to depose Bibi, which were honestly not very long ago.

    I am curious who you would prefer as Bibi’s heir. Personally, I like Dermer. He is brilliant, capable, experienced, and completely aligned with Bibi on stressing Israeli interests over American demands. I know others prefer Barkat and now Katz will no doubt increase his already well established position among Likud supporters, but I think Dermer would be a far better choice than the other potential leaders who might follow Bibi. Hopefully, this is a topic which will not need deciding anytime soon, and of course, doing so during the ongoing war would be far from ideal, but it is a topic which needs addressing, and hopefully Bibi will take some role in doing so in the not too distant future. Though we are all aware of how reluctant he has been to do so in the past, his support in such an undertaking would be an important, if not deciding, factor on where the politicians and public might place their trust.

  36. Yes Peloni right on cue, Bennett snakes his way back to the public eye. Not for long I hope.
    The Israeli public KNOW that Trump and the P.M are very close so a right wing govt seems a certainly for the next 4=5=6 years.

  37. @Edgar
    And right on queue, Bennett steps up to fill the void of America’s man in Jerusalem, the anti-Bibi as it were.

  38. READER-

    Only to be expected in what we call POLITICS. He’s looking for votes of course, He’s in an election where every vote counts.

    So what’s wrong with that??
