Who is out to get Trump National Security Adviser General McMaster?  

T. Belman. Even if this was fake news, there was a lot of news on McMaster that wasn’t fake.He got rid of Pro-Israel people from the NSA did he not. He gave a security clearance to Susan Rice. He sent an anti-Israel person with Kushner in his last trip to Israel. I am sure there are many more. He reiterates Obama’s views on Islam and the MB rather than Trump’s.

Israel Embassy & NSC officials say McMaster Hezbollah/Yelling story is false. What is going on?

By Jeff Dunitz. INN

Pajamas Media and Israel National News (Arutz Sheva) both ran a story this month that U.S. National Security Adviser McMaster sparked an argument with an Israeli delegation during an August meeting to discuss the terrorist group Hezbollah. According to the reports, the argument was sparked by McMaster bringing an unwanted NSA official to the meeting and his denying that Hezbollah was a terrorist group.

In a statement to The Lid, the spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in DC called the reports “totally false,” and in a separate discussion, an NSC official who was at the meeting says the NSC employee in question wasn’t in the meeting.

Per each of the reports, National Security Advisor. McMaster invited NSC Senior Director on Counter-Terrorism Mustafa Javed Ali to the meeting with Israel that took place in the White House. Supposedly Mr. Ali is against designing Hezbollah as a terrorist group. According to the reports, the Israeli delegation demanded that Ali leave the room.

COLUMN ONE: Israel and the American Jewish Crises  

The key to strengthening and supporting the community is to bypass its failed leadership and speak and interact directly with American Jews.

By Caroline B. Glick, JPOST

As the New Year 5778 begins, 88% of Israeli Jews say that they are happy and satisfied with their lives. This makes sense. Israel’s relative security, its prosperity, freedom and spiritual blossoming make Israeli Jews the most successful Jewish community in 3,500 years of Jewish history.

The same cannot be said for the Jews of the Diaspora. In Western Europe, Jewish communities that just a generation ago were considered safe and prosperous are now besieged. Synagogues and Jewish schools look like army barracks. And the severe security cordons Jews need to pass through to pray and study are entirely justified. For where they are absent, as they were at the Hyper Cacher Jewish supermarket in Paris in 2015, assailants strike.

Lawrence Solomon: Why Israel might take out North Korea’s nukes  

North Korea, in league with Iran, poses an existential threat to Israel — with its tiny land mass, Israel could not withstand a successful nuclear attack

By Lawrence Solomon, NATIONAL POST

North Korea’s rhetoric, like its promise earlier this year to unleash a “merciless, thousand-fold punishment” on its enemy, is familiar to us. But the target of the invective may surprise some. That particular threat was levied against Israel, and understandably so. Kim Jong-Un has reason to fear and loathe Israel.

The United States, South Korea and Japan—the three Pacific countries the Western press focuses on—haven’t been willing to kill North Koreans. Israel has. The U.S., South Korea and Japan haven’t blown up North Korean facilities. Israel has, many believe, and for good measure it also exercises control over North Korean shipping. Kim knows that Israel acts militarily and covertly to thwart his plans at home and abroad and that Israel is far likelier to take pre-emptive actions than his appeaser-neighbours. Unlike Trump, who issues loud threats of his own but is restrained in action, Israel acts and remains silent.

History of Jordan, Jordan as Palestine  

http://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/jordan.html

Extracted From Time Immemorial by Joan Peters

[..]

Historian Arnold Toynbee observed in 1918 that the “desolate” land “which lies east of the Jordan stream,”3 was

capable of supporting a large population if irrigated and cultivated scientifically. … The Zionists have as much right to this no-man’s land as the Arabs, or more.

Thus, the territory known variously as “Palestine,” as “South Syria,” as “Eastern and Western Palestine,” or as part of “Turkey” had been designated by international mandate as a “Jewish National Home,” concerning which the United States declared,

That there be established a separate state of Palestine…. placed under Great Britain as a mandatory of the League of Nations … that the Jews be invited to return to Palestine and settle there…. and being further assured that it will be the policy of the League of Nations to recognize Palestine as a Jewish state as soon as it is a Jewish state in fact. . . . England, as mandatory, can be relied on to give the Jews the privileged position they should have without sacrificing the [religious and property] rights of non-Jews.4[..]

Trump’s Bold Defense of America  

He called out North Korea and Iran for the lying evildoers that they are.

By Conrad Black, NATIONAL REVIEW

He called out North Korea and Iran for the lying evildoers that they are. It is becoming difficult to believe that the ever-more-silly entertainment world, an echo chamber of escalating primal imbecilic utterances in a hall of mirrors, festers in the same country that, as its president correctly told the United Nations on Tuesday morning, now has more people working than ever before and the highest market capitalization of its industries of all time, is striving toward increasing prosperity, and is the only force in the world trying to keep hydrogen bombs out of the hands of psychotic lunatics.

Moscow: US-backed SDF faces “destruction.” Pro-Iranian Iraqi force crosses into Syria  

DEBKA

Israel’s strategic situation took several steps back in the first week of the New Year, chiefly: The US pulled back from E. Syria under Russian threat, allowing Iran to move in.

In just one week, the dire perils, which many military and political experts warned against for years, are suddenly looming on Israel’s northern border.

  • From Sept.15-17, Syrian and Hizballah forces crossed the Euphrates to the eastern bank on pontoon bridges provided by Russia.
  • Last Saturday, Sept. 16, Russian jets bombed the US-backed Syrian Defense Forces (SDF) in the Deir ez-Zour region, as a warning against their obstructing the eastward impetus of those Syrian and Hizballah units.

Report: Trump will scrap Iran nuke deal  

T. Belman. Remember, there is no way that the US would kill the deal without a robust plan to prevent Iran from quickly proceeding to get the bomb. Sanctions didn’t work before. Nothing less than military action would suffice.

By Rick Moran, AMERICAN THINKER

NBC News is reporting that Donald Trump is leaning strongly in favor of scrapping the Iranian nuclear deal negotiated by President Obama.

NBC claims that four different sources, including a high-ranking administration official, told its people that the decision to pull out of the agreement is close. Trump ordered a review of the agreement by his national security team, and it is believed that the review recommended that the U.S. pull out.

Such a move would come before an Oct. 15 deadline and would trigger a 60-day window for lawmakers to determine whether to reimpose sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear program that were lifted as part of the 2015 agreement. The president’s goal during that time is to prod America’s European allies, who are part of the nuclear deal, to agree to renegotiate some provisions and pressure Iran back into talks.

‘Crime of the century’: Obama gambled that large-scale illegal surveillance would justify itself  

WORLD TRIBUNE

In casting its wide surveillance dragnet on team Trump, the Obama administration gambled that if it spied on enough “people long enough … something was bound to turn up,” an analyst said.

“Desperate Obama cronies had figured out that they could bypass many of the limitations on the conventional investigations of their political opponents by ‘laundering’ them through national security,” Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, wrote for FrontPage Mag on Sept. 20.

“If any of Trump’s people were talking to non-Americans, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) could be used to spy on them. And then the redacted names of the Americans could be unmasked by Susan Rice, Samantha Power and other Obama allies. It was technically a legal Watergate.”

Media virtually ignoring evidence of vote fraud in election integrity hearings  

By Thomas Lifson, AMERICAN THINKER

You wouldn’t know it based on mainstream media coverage, but President Trump’s Advisory Commission on Election Integrity is developing strong evidence of serious vote fraud, large enough to swing the results in key elections. The fact that Democrats mostly deny the possibility of important vote fraud and seek to shut down inquiry ought to tell anyone with two brain cells to rub together that they know which party is the beneficiary of the cheating.

The fact that the dominant political media which continue to call themselves “news” outlets mostly are ignoring the startling revelations coming out of the Commission’s hearings also tells you that the problems is serious enough to suppress.

Brute isolation: Trump and the art of unraveling the Iran deal  

The Trump administration wants a completely different deal, or it will unilaterally pull out. What follows could be incendiary

By Pepe Escobar, ASIA TIMES

Contrary to a barrage of spin, the P5+1 meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly to assess implementation of the Iran nuclear deal did not go especially well, as diplomats confirmed to Asia Times.

US secretary of state Rex Tillerson was forced to concede Tehran is abiding by the deal. But once again he hammered the new US meme – now it’s about Iran not fulfilling “expectations.”

(Photo by Eduardo Munoz Alvarez/Getty Images)

In a sign of the ongoing internal dissent over ending the landmark nuclear agreement with Iran, multiple sources told the Washington Free Beacon that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley have been at odds over the deal, with Trump’s U.N. ambassador privately expressing dismay with Tillerson over his continued efforts to preserve the nuclear agreement.

Globalism: The existential enemy of sovereignty security and prosperity  

By Linda Goudsmit, PUNDICITY

President Trump’s 9.19.17 speech at the UN was powerfully clear – the three foundational missions of the United Nations are the three foundational missions of the United States and every member nation: to protect their sovereignty, preserve their security, and promote their prosperity.

Sovereignty security and prosperity are the three pillars that support world peace. The United Nation’s stated mission relies on the nationalism of cooperating sovereign nation states to preserve security, promote prosperity, and make the world a safer place. Here is the problem. Globalism is antithetical to nationalism. President Trump is surrounded by globalist advisors and the United Nations has become an advocate of globalism.

ISRAEL AND THE AMERICAN JEWISH CRISIS  

The demographic decline of American Jewry is disastrous — and so is the state of communal leadership.

By Caroline Glick

The same cannot be said for the Jews of the Diaspora. In Western Europe, Jewish communities that just a generation ago were considered safe and prosperous are now besieged. Synagogues and Jewish schools look like army barracks. And the severe security cordons Jews need to pass through to pray and study are entirely justified. For where they are absent, as they were at the Hyper Cacher Jewish supermarket in Paris in 2015, assailants strike.

Western European Jewry’s crisis is exogenous to the Jewish communities. It isn’t the Jews who caused the crisis, which may in time cause the wholesale exodus of the Jews from Europe. The crisis is a function of growing levels of popular antisemitism spurred by mass immigration from the Islamic world and the resurgence of indigenous European Jew-hatred, particularly on the far Left.

Did Obama Spy on America to Protect Islamists?  

By Daniel Greenfield, SULTAN KNISH

After months of denials, the pretext for Susan Rice’s eavesdropping on Trump officials has finally been made public. It had been widely known that Obama’s former National Security Adviser had contrived to unmask the names of top Trump officials who had been spied on by the administration. And the same media that still treats Watergate as the Great American Scandal had claimed that there was nothing “improper” in an Obama loyalist eavesdropping on members of the opposition party.

In Defense of the ‘Jordan Is Palestine’ Proposal  

By David Haivri, TOI

For many years I had been very skeptical of the Jordan is Palestine idea for number of reasons. Of course we cannot simply dismiss the Zeev Jabotinsky ideology which called for two banks of the Jordan river this one is mine and so is the other.

Of course many Zionists and particularly Betar youth grew up with the idea of the greater land of Israel that extended to both sides of the Jordan River within the framework of the historical British Mandate for Palestine. Regardless to the fact that the Israeli political parties who are descendants to the Jabotinsky movement and particularly the leading we could party abandoned this concept years ago. And in fact the State of Israel signed a peace treaty with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan recognizing the sovereignty of the State of Jordan to the east of the Jordan River.
