When the term “population transfer”, as a resolution to unprecedented terror which Israel continuously has been facing since its independence, is mentioned most people, especially Jews, don’t want to hear about it and become quite vocal and even aggressive! They are not aware or just disinterested to know that population transfer has been reasonably successfully used to resolve many conflicts throughout the world before its adoption and also after, often with the blessings and participation of the League of Nations and the United Nations!

In 1923, close to 2 million people, Greek Orthodox and Muslims, most of them were forcibly removed and transferred from their homelands. Although the politically correct term is used now is “population exchange”!

T. Belman. This Migration Pact is getting a lot of spin in the media. But what is the truth? If this Pact is non-binding, why is it needed. If it is non binding then all signatories can ignore it and do what they want. If it is non-binding why does it stipulate that the signers “commit” to doing certain things. If it is non binding why must the UN get involved? Will the nations who rejected it be required to abide by it. Once the UN passes it, all member states will be bound by it.

The nonbinding pact, aimed at fostering cooperation on migration and streamlining legal cases, backed by 164 countries at Morocco conference • Israel declined to join pact, fearing it would be forced to grant all migrants the same rights as refugees.

Here is a true story. Some 20 years ago, my family and I lived in a small rental unit that belonged to a senior official in the State Attorney’s Office. At the time, she was a department head and she was responsible for publishing a controversial report on the outposts in Judea and Samaria. In short, she was a senior member of a group often referred to as the “gatekeepers” or “watchdogs of democracy”

We owned a young female dog at the time, and this attracted many male dogs to our apartment and our landlord’s home. One day, one of those male dogs attacked and killed our landlord’s dog.

About a day later, she sent us a letter blaming me for the loss of her small dog. The letter demanded that my family and I immediately vacate the housing unit we were renting from her and threatened us with a lawsuit.

Jews in Europe unsurprised by results of grim survey that found some 90% of the local community sense increasing levels of hatred toward them

By Cnaan Lipshiz, TOI

AMSTERDAM (JTA) — The last time that a stranger directed an anti-Semitic insult at me, I was carrying supplies for my son’s birthday party.

It was on a Sunday afternoon on Dam Square. Carrying Star of David party decorations in a see-through bag, I paused to snap some pictures on my cellphone of an anti-Israel rally.

I was busy sending them to a friend who had inquired about such events in the Netherlands when a bearded man sporting a Moroccan accent said loudly in my direction: “Cancer Jew. You’re all made up, you’re fake. You’re fake dogs.”

T. Belman.  Buchanan is all over the place in this article and only partially answers the question posed. To fully answer this question we must first define democracy.  It seems to me that pure democracy means majority rule. Such a democracy has been rejected by most democracies. For them democracy embraces minority rights.

American democracy is under great stress over the issue and the anti-Trumpers are breaking every rule in the book. They are supported in every way by the MSM who have abandoned their role of fair reporting.

In Israel, the battle is raging. The right wants the supremacy of Knesset (majority rules) and the left wants to neuter the Knesset by upholding liberal democracy (minority rights). They do this through the High court and academia.

The Globalists try to disenfranchise the majority by demanding that countries defer to rule by Multilateral institutions like the UN, the EU, the ICC and so on.

It seems everyone is turning away from democracy.

If Donald Trump told Michael Cohen to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels about a one-night stand a decade ago, that, says Jerome Nadler, incoming chair of the House Judiciary Committee, would be an “impeachable offense.”

Displayed above is the Broadway Theatre Playbill from 1946 for “A Flag Is Born,” signed on the cover by Sidney Lumet, Celia and Luther Adler (“the first family of the Yiddish theater”) and George David Baxter.

The creation of “A Flag is Born” began in 1939 when leading screenwriter Ben Hecht used his newspaper column to challenge Jewish readers to become more openly Jewish. That article drew a response from “Peter Bergson” – who was actually Hillel Kook, an Irgun leader working undercover in America – and who, urging Hecht to take a leading role in spreading early news of the Holocaust and winning American support for militant Zionists, convinced him to write the play.

Does public opinion influence Israel’s decisions? Shouldn’t it make a difference in a democracy”

Introduction

In recent months, King ‘Abdallah II of Jordan has been facing growing criticism within the country and calls to limit his powers, from both popular elements and political circles. On October 6, 2018, the “National Follow-Up Committee,” a group of 143 politicians and military veterans, issued a statement in which they harshly protested what they called the dire condition of the country, the king’s disregard of demands for reform, and the abuse of the powers conferred upon the king and his court, and called to curtail these powers. Since its initial release, the statement has been signed by over 1,000 people.

The wave of criticism has been growing since the unrest in the spring of 2018 protesting the dire economic situation in Jordan. These protests included strikes and mass demonstrations throughout the kingdom at which calls against the king were occasionally heard, holding him responsible for the crisis. Even after these protests died down and a new government was formed in June 2018, calls for reform and in particular for limiting the king’s powers persisted, voiced by social media users and small grassroots protest movements, but also by members of parliament. For example, a parliamentary faction comprising mainly of Muslim Brotherhood (MB) members demanded the transfer of some of the King’s powers to the government. In addition, two MPs criticized Queen Rania’s intervention in matters of state, saying she has no authority to do so. The tense atmosphere was exacerbated by the king’s long and unexplained absence from Jordan in July 2018, which sparked criticism on social media and malicious rumors that he is in ill health or has changed his position on the Palestinian issue.

In the normal course of events, one could understand the hundreds of “I don’t knows” and “I don’t recalls” former FBI Director James Comey during Friday’s testimony. Most FBI investigations are handled out of the field office in which the illegality allegedly occurred with the FBI Director not privy to all the details. But it was Comey who decided to run the whole Trump collusion and obstruction investigation out of FBI headquarters. He should have known and remembered every detail of his actions and those under him. He did.

Don’t count the “I can’t recalls” Just counting the contradictions and the lies would make quite a drinking game, starting the case which started it all — Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s “process lie” about his legitimate contacts with his Russian counterparts as a national security adviser designate:

White privilege is a crime, according to Leftists. Consequently, young people are drilled into believing that they are criminal because of their melanin levels.  On the “Teaching Tolerance” site, students are told by author Cory Collins that they “can imagine [white privilege]  as something of a whiteness water cycle, wherein racism is the rain. That rain populates the earth, giving some areas more access to life and resources than others. The evaporation is white privilege — an invisible phenomenon that is both a result of the rain and the reason it keeps going.”

But if white privilege is so awful, wouldn’t it be hypocritical to come to a country that is predominantly white and then partake of the wealth and power that white privilege provides?  After all, benefiting from an evil system does not seem ethical.  And leftists always claim the moral high ground — don’t they?

Controversial law already allows communities of up to 400 homes to screen potential residents, amendment would expand that to communities of up to 550 homes • Critics say law essentially allows Jewish towns to reject Arab applicants as “unsuited.”

By Yair Altman, ISRAEL HAYOM

The Ministerial Committee on Legislation on Sunday voted in favor of a bill that would allow large Jewish communities to reject home seekers who are “socially and culturally unsuitable.”

The bill is an amendment to a law passed in 2011 allowing communities of 400 or fewer homes to have admission committees screen potential home seekers to see whether they meet certain social and cultural criteria. The bill aims to expand the benchmark to communities of up to 550 homes.

On Thursday, Nigeria and Zambia voted against an anti-Hamas resolution at the UN, helping to ensure that it would not be adopted. On Sunday, their representatives in an organization hoping to improve agriculture production in Africa arrived in Israel for a four-day seminar.

The Ghanaian and Nigerian representatives to the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), joined together with representatives from Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Zambia and Burkina Faso for a seminar through the Volcani Center in Beit Dagan, Israel’s leading agricultural research organization, to explore new technologies regarding food production, increasing crop yields and food safety.

Europe is dying. It has cast off the possibility of recovery and awaits the inevitable.

“Where are all the children ”, asked the Washington Post this week in a report from Greece on its post-financial crisis. The Greek economy no longer falls on Europe as a danger to the euro, but the country is starting to struggle with the next phase: demographic suicide as it faces the smallest post-war generation in Greece.

The European Statistical Office estimates that the Greek population of 10.7 million will decrease by 32 percent. “By 2080 the population of the country could fall to 7.2 million”. In 2017 in Italy, 458,151 new children were registered. That is over 15 thousand less than in 2016. Over a period of 3 years (from 2014 to 2017), births decreased by about 45 thousand, while they were almost 120 thousand less than 2008.

PM instructs Diapora Affairs Minister Bennett to formulate plan to increase immigration among Jews from France.

Arutz Sheva Staff

Naftali Bennett, Minister of Education and Diaspora Affairs, presented activities of the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and challenges in the connection with world Jewry at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday.

Minister Bennett told the ministers, “There is a historic missed opportunity on the part of the Israeli governments over the past few years in the issue of immigration from France. There are 200,000 Jews in France who want to immigrate here, and all the state systems are simply unprepared for this. These are Zionist, ethical people, lovers of the people of Israel and the Land of Israel – and it is our moral duty to throw down the gauntlet and help them. Two weeks ago, I launched a program for informal education among immigrants from France, but it is not enough and a comprehensive process is needed, led by the government.”
