Breaking from Azraq Al-Yamama (“Rabbi of Arabia”):
There is a very high geological probability of an offshore earthquake that could strike the region.
Israel has warned several Arab countries of the incoming threat.
The likelihood exceeds 70%, and we are praying for a miracle from God to prevent it.

Before Donald Trump’s blowout win in New Hampshire he shocked the world by saying he would allow the Russians to do the “dirty work” and would “Let them beat the shit out of ISIS also.”. Trump went further, “I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect,”
Putin, responded by saying: “He (Trump) says that he wants to move to another level of relations, to a deeper level of relations with Russia. How can we not welcome that? Of course we welcome it.”
The condemnation of Trump for his remarks was immediate but certainly not universal. Many American’s are beginning to see Russia in a new light.

When I was a nursing student decades ago, a doctor friend told me about an interesting case in which he performed a routine yearly checkup on a 12-year-old boy, including blood and urine tests, and to his surprise, this healthy-looking preteen had blood in his urine. The doctor promptly ordered an intravenous pyelogram (IPG) — now in medicine’s dinosaur museum — which revealed that in one of the youngster’s kidneys, the renal medulla — the innermost region — and the renal cortex — the outermost region — were reversed, and as a result, the aberrant kidney took four hours longer to collect and then empty the body of urine.
Peloni: Geoffrey provides a great deal of clarity in reviewing the efforts, expense and import placed upon the Eurovision competition. Highly recommended article.

Israeli popular singer Yuval Raphael recently came in second in this year’s Eurovision song festival. She deserves our heartfelt congratulations during this dark time for Israel and the Jewish people.
Peloni: Schwartz’ Ghosts of a Holy War is a highly recommended book for its reminder that ignoring history will only lead to its retelling in great and terrible ways in future ages.

With the anniversary of the Six Day War and reunification of Jerusalem in 1967 this week, I was reminded about the liberation of, and Jewish return to Hebron for the first time that year since 1929 when 67 Jews were massacred.

Latest Developments
Peloni: The only purpose for Iran in these negotiations is to ignore any binding effort to block their nuclear ambitions, and to try to get Washington to accept an interim agreement, permanently, such that they will keep their nuclear capabilities and only pause their nuclear enrichment while maintaining US restraint on Israel indefinitely. The only question is whether Trump will move towards such a posture of mimicking the policy failures which he ridiculed before coming to office. The answer to this question will determine the fate of the Iranians, the Israelis and the Americans, all at the same time.

The White House presented the new deal as a ‘‘detailed and acceptable proposal,” but it does not suffice for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Of course this should not be a surprise to anyone. The Islamic Republic will not agree to any deal that has any possibility whatsoever of restraining the Islamic regime.
Peloni: Ukraine’s continued grandstanding campaigns can not erase the deficiency in their manpower, munitions and morale. They simply can not win this war.
Not Like Pearl Harbor
Peloni: Martin provides a clarion call for the mounting levels of insanity which are taking form as insurrection against the legitimately elected Israeli govt, and the need to recognize the terrible consequences which might result if these outrages continue to be left to fester as if they do not represent a clear and present threat to the nation’s survival.

The only way to prevent a civil war in Israel is to acknowledge its impending outbreak, so that steps can be taken to forestall it.
Israel is on the brink of civil war. An irreconcilable rift is beginning to open up between rival segments of Israeli society, which no amount of unilateral goodwill can amicably bridge. The tectonic fault lines, threatening to split the nation’s societal fabric asunder, center on Benjamin Netanyahu’s tenacious hold on power, despite multiple attempts to pry it loose.
Weaponizing the legal system
Having seemingly despaired of the possibility of defeating him at the polls, his adversaries have turned—more clumsily than not—to weaponising the legal system as a means of realizing their political goals.

A database search of 12 million books published in the 300 years before 9/11 reveals only one instance of the phrase “Islam is a religion of peace.” It appears in fiction and is spoken by Ayatollah Mahmoud Haji Daryaei, an Iranian leader in Tom Clancy’s thriller Executive Orders.

There was a time when the lands now known as Israel (including Judea and Samaria and Gaza) and Jordan were called “Palestine.” In fact, the Balfour Declaration of 1917 declared that “His Majesty’s government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.”
There followed considerable cooperation between the Jews, represented by Chaim Weizmann, and the Arabs living in Mespotamia, now Iraq and Jordan, represented by Emir Feisal. As a result, the Feisal-Weizman Agreement was signed in January 1919, in which it was agreed that the Jews would get the lands lying west of the Jordan River watershed to the Mediterranean.

Peloni: Yair Pinto provides a good review of where things stand on multiple fronts.
Peloni: The taxing authority is used to help focus public expenditures towards a successful desired outcome. While it might be seen to be debatable as to whether this is an appropriate use of this authority, it is inexplicable that increasing support for terrorism should be counted as normative or even tolerable goal of any govt, much less one such as the US which has had thousands killed as a consequence of terrorist activities over the years, and the innocents who are to be counted as victims of terror continue to increase, most recently with the execution of Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
One part of the Treasury Department sanctions a terror front group while another helps fund it.

Samidoun, a group that the United States Treasury described as a “sham charity” that serves as a fundraiser for terrorists, had some thoughts on the recent D.C. leftist terrorist attack.
Peloni: The West is building its own demise thru policies of ignorance and miscalculations, and arguably nowhere is this more clear than with its efforts to support Erdogan’s fantasies of a neo Ottoman empire.

After meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky announced that the Turkish president considers Crimea “Ukrainian.” Western media were touched by the “firm position” of the Turkish leader and his support for the “collective democratic West” in opposing the Russian invasion.
