Israel Steers Clear of Europe and U.S. Social Alienation  

By Norman A. Bailey, ACD

Not nearly enough attention is being paid to a social phenomenon that is sweeping through Europe and the US. Great swaths of the population are becoming, or more accurately have already become totally alienated from the political, economic and social structures of the societies to which they belong. Furthermore, they know whom to blame – namely the political and economic elites of those countries, who they see as being not just part of the problem, but the cause of the problem.

Pollsters are switching from registered voters to likely voters

Simultaneous Polling Shifts – Media Switching to “Likely Voters”…
Posted on September 15, 2016 by sundance
https://theconservativetreehou…

As we noted in the Bloomberg poll a few days ago (they were first – and we could tell something was up), the pollsters are shifting their methodology. Almost every poll release in the past 72 hours has been using “Likely Voters” instead of “Registered Voters“.

https://theconservativetreehou…

When the methodology changes, so too does the result. Multiple polls are now presenting Donald Trump as the lead candidate. Actually, far more than the graphic above.

Hijra, Islamic Migration  

T. Belman. When Donald Trump first proposed a temporary ban on Muslim immigration, many argued that we must prevent ISIS terrorists from entering the county, as a security measure.  I thought that we must ban them as a national threat and I didn’t mean a terrorist threat. Trump when expanding on his idea he went on to argue that any person permitted to immigrate must show allegiance to America and its constitution and must like us. He called for “extreme vetting”. Muslims who want to support sharia law and avoid assimilation must be excluded. That makes me Islamophobic and thus a deplorable. I will wear that label proudly.

Korol explains the threat. Bill Warner PhD did the same in his video Hijra, Islamic Migration . Don’t miss it.

A photograph of the new memorial.

The Children of Abraham of the Southern Tier, an interfaith organization in Johnson City, has taken offense at the 9/11 memorial raised in the nearby Town of Owego, New York. This association of misguided multiculturalists and Muslim moderates allege that identifying the perpetrators of the worst individual act of aggression on American soil would encourage Muslim hatred, never once excoriating the very act that resulted in the death and injury to more than 3,000 American victims and 453 responders and boundless grief for their families and for all Americans.

Black Lives Matter’s Anti-Semitic Bedfellows  

By Gary Gambil, THE NATIONAL INTEREST

With Black Lives Matter movement’s adoption of a formal manifesto charging Israel with genocide, militant anti-Zionists are threatening to sabotage yet another progressive cause.

Obsessed with spreading demonization of the Jewish state across the Western world by any means necessary and at any cost, time and again anti-Israel campaigners have fought tooth and nail to insert defamatory anti-Israel language into resolutions and bylaws of unions, NGOs, political parties and other institutions advancing unrelated progressive agendas. Time and again, this hijacking has driven more enlightened activists out of the host movement, contributing to its decline.

Twilight of American Jewry  

It is hard to know how Israel will be affected by the dramatic enfeeblement of the American Jewish community that we are now witnessing.

By Carline B Glick, JPOST

GlickThis week marked the fifteenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on America. Most of us didn’t realize it at the time, but those attacks also marked the beginning of the end of the golden age of American Jewry – on both sides of the ideological divide.

Most American Jews make their home on the political Left, and together with black Americans they comprise the most loyal Democratic voting bloc. American Jews have clung to the Democratic Party despite the fact that over the past decade and a half, their position in the party has become increasingly precarious.

After the September 11 attacks, the American anti-war movement rose as a force in the party. The movement was quick to conflate its anti-Americanism with hostility for Israel. Jewish anti-war activists were forced to choose between Zionism and pacifism.

ADL’s Greenblatt Wrongly Attacks Netanyahu’s Accurate Condemnation of PA Demand for Jew-Free State  

by: Morton A. Klein and Elizabeth A. Berney, Esq., ZOA

It is painful and frightening that Anti-Defamation League (ADL) head Jonathan Greenblatt (a former Obama administration official) joined with the Obama administration and Palestinian Arab terrorists to harshly condemn Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for accurately and appropriately condemning Palestinian Authority’s leaders’ stated goal to “ethnically cleanse”  Jews from any future Palestinian State. Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly insisted that a Palestinian state “would not see the presence of a single Israeli — civilian or soldier — on our lands.”  (Abbas pledges: There will be no Israelis in Palestine,’ Times of Israel, July 30, 2013).  That is ethnic cleansing of Jews.

INTO THE FRAY: Ethnic Cleansing—Why Bibi was quite right…and dangerously wrong  

By MARTIN SHERMAN

SHERMANNetanyahu is right to excoriate Palestinians demand to purge Jews as ethnic cleansing, but what are the perils entailed in them dropping that demand?

the Palestinian leadership actually demands a Palestinian state with one precondition: no Jews! There’s a phrase for that. It’s called ethnic cleansing. And this demand is outrageous.  What is even more outrageous is that the world doesn’t find this outrageous. Some otherwise enlightened countries even promote this outrage.

   – Benjamin Netanyahu, September 9, 2016

Late last Friday, the Prime Minister’s office—for no immediately obvious reason—released a video, in which Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the frequently raised demand by the Palestinians, that any future state of theirs must be devoid of Jews, as “Ethnic Cleansing”.

WTF: Kerry pushes hard to sell out U.S. operations, intelligence in Syria  

By J.E. Dyer, LIBERTY UNYIELDING

kERRY2Donald Trump is coming under a lot of fire for speaking with apparent admiration of Vladimir Putin.  Trump’s seeming affinity for a KGB thug with a trail of bodies in his wake is understandably troubling for many.

But there’s certainly one fellow who would have no room to criticize, if it occurred to him to do so.  That fellow is John Kerry.

Since at least early summer, Kerry has been working on a deal with the Russians in Syria that would so effectively hobble U.S. activities there that we would be of little use even to the Russians and Assad, much less to ourselves.

NeverTrump for Dummies  

T. Belman. Stephens certainly didn’t convince me. Stephens argues that we shouldn’t be voting for a policy menu. What? Instead “My fundamental objection to Mr. Trump is that he is unfit, as a person, to be president.” And Hillary is more fit?

By Bret Stephens, WSJ

Q: How can you call yourself a conservative columnist when you’re rooting for Hillary Clinton in this election?

A: Because Donald Trump is anti-conservative, un-American, immoral and dangerous.

Q: And Hillary Clinton is a conservative who personifies all that we hold dear as Americans and has a terrific record in government?

A: Not at all. She’s conventionally liberal, politically opportunistic and ethically challenged.

‘We Misled You’: How the Saudis Are Coming Clean on Funding Terrorism  

On his latest trip, a former senior U.S. official finds a new attitude in Riyadh. But will it stick?

By Zalmay Khalilzad, POLITICO

160913_saudi_khalilzad_getty.jpg

On my most recent trip to Saudi Arabia, I was greeted with a startling confession. In the past, when we raised the issue of funding Islamic extremists with the Saudis, all we got were denials. This time, in the course of meetings with King Salman, Crown Prince Nayef, Deputy Crown Mohammad Bin Salman and several ministers, one top Saudi official admitted to me, “We misled you.” He explained that Saudi support for Islamic extremism started in the early 1960s as a counter to Nasserism—the socialist political ideology that came out of the thinking of Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser—which threatened Saudi Arabia and led to war between the two countries along the Yemen border. This tactic allowed them to successfully contain Nasserism, and the Saudis concluded that Islamism could be a powerful tool with broader utility.

Trump adviser says GOP nominee won’t push Israel on peace deal if elected  

T. Belman. This is what the GOP platform provides and what Israel wants. Equally important Trump has said that Israel should build in Judea and Samaria.

David Friedman claims Trump not ‘for or against per say a two-state solution,’ but will leave it up to the Israelis

BY TAMAR PILEGGI, TOI

Donald Trump will not propose a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict if elected US president this November, a senior adviser to the Republican presidential nominee said Wednesday on Israeli television.

But Trump will back Israel in any path it chooses, said David Friedman who advises Trump on Israel-American affairs.

Failed Syrian rebel drive spills shells on Golan  

DEBKA

The estimated eight shells spilling in as many days from the Syrian war onto the Golan – and the three Israeli air strikes in reprisal against Syrian army targets – are beginning to sound ominously like Israel’s longstanding automatic tit-for-tat-air-for-rockets relations with the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip – never mind who fires them.

Archeologists find 1st-century gold coin with Nero’s image in Jerusalem  

“The coin is exceptional because this is the first time that a coin of this kind has turned up in Jerusalem in a scientific dig.”

By DANIEL K. EISENBUD, JPOST

Nero

A rare well preserved rare coin in struck in 56-57 CE, bearing the image of Roman Emperor Nero, was found by archeologists from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte during a recent excavation on Jerusalem’s Mount Zion, just outside the Old City, it was announced Wednesday.

Described as an “emperor, theater actor, poet,” Nero, a flamboyant ruler who took the throne at age 17, was perhaps best known for killing his mother, who married his great uncle Claudius.
