T. Belman. This is a reminder how difficult it is in Congress to get them to do something about immigration of Muslims. A major part of the problem is that Congressmen and American’s in general have no idea how much a threat to their values, country and way of life, massive Muslim immigration portends.

Texas congressman calls Obama’s influx ‘clear and present danger’

By Leo Hohmann, WND

Only 37 Republican congressmen have signed on to a Texas lawmaker’s effort to cut funding for all refugees being sent to the U.S. from terrorist hotbeds like Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia.

U.S. Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, told WND Tuesday the attacks in Minnesota, New York and New Jersey over the weekend, combined with earlier attacks by Muslim immigrants or sons of immigrants on Orlando, San Bernardino and Chattanooga, have created a “clear and present danger” that Congress must address. Especially since the sitting president, Barack Obama, refuses not only to stem the flow of Muslim refugees but has been on a crusade to increase the flow before he leaves office in January.

‘This kind of thing is happening all over the country’

By Paul Bremner, WND

WASHINGTON – Muslims from around the world are coming to America to wage “settlement jihad” and implement Shariah law, a Department of Homeland security whistleblower warns.

The eye-opening observations were made by former Department of Homeland Security officer Philip Haney at the ACT for America 2016 Conference Tuesday.

Haney warned that most Muslims do not migrate to America with the intention of assimilating into American culture.

By Yoram Ettinger, “Israel Hayom,”

The July 2015 nuclear agreement with the Ayatollahs of Iran is perceived by the USA as a binding, strategic agreement of peaceful coexistence with Iran.  In contrast, the Ayatollahs view it as a tenuous, tactical agreement, advancing an offensive strategy against “the arrogant, infidel American Great Satan,” to be abrogated as is the fate of agreements with “infidels” according to the Quran and the legacy of Muhammad. The Ayatollahs consider the agreement a phase in the removal of “the modern day infidel American crusader” from the Persian Gulf and the India Ocean, in order to advance Iran’s 2,500-year-old historic goal of dominating the Persian Gulf, the Middle East and the globe.

If Hillary Clinton should enter the Oval Office as president, just think what will happen to the Supreme Court and America for generations.

Right now, the balance of the Court is evenly divided between those whose thoughts lean closer to those of the late Justice Scalia and those on the opposite end of the spectrum, who would use the courts to impose the agenda of the progressive left.

The very nature of our government and our society will be fundamentally and fatally impacted should Hillary Clinton become the next president.  She will select leftist justices to replace existing justices as they leave the bench.

Advocacy groups supported by the United Nations are condoning terrorism and promoting the “destruction of Israel,” a report said.

“Bigots, anti-Semites, and terrorist advocates” within the UN are “spreading hatred and inciting violence,” according to a report issued by Human Rights Voices, a group that monitors bias at the UN, and the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust.

“Most striking for an organization founded on the ashes of the Holocaust, the UN enables its accredited NGOs [non-governmental organizations] to play a central role in promoting modern anti-Semitism,” the report states.

On the backdrop of the efforts to legalize Jewish towns, one resident explains that King Hussein simply distributed lands.

By Hillel Fendel, INN

Yoav Elitzur resides in Ofrah, the first Jewish community in the Binyamin area of Judea and Samaria in the modern age (founded in 1975). He has produced a short video, in Hebrew, in which he explains succinctly how the myth of, “privately-owned Arab lands in Judea and Samaria,” came to be. His explanation, if disseminated sufficiently far and wide, should take the air out of the sails of the left-wing organizations which are seeking to destroy the Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria, by claiming that it is founded upon lands that belong to others. In Elitzur’s words:

Education Minister optimistic about finding solution for Amona; says High Court has overstepped its bounds.

By Ido Ben Porat, INN

Education Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) revealed on Tuesday that tremendous effort is being invested to prevent Amona from being destroyed, and to legalize the villages in Judea and Samaria.

In an interview with Arutz Sheva, Bennett conveyed optimism regarding applying the “absentee property law,” in Amona.

“With cooperation from the residents, we are leading the push to for the ‘absentee property’ solution. This is a complicated solution, but with it, the residents will remain in Amona. We are working very hard on this. The timetable is short, but in general, I am optimistic.”

To disseminate a Judaism that is unconnected to the land of our forefathers and the place of Jewish spiritual longing for millennia is to spread a Judaism that lacks a foundation and soul.

By Shmuley Boteach, JPOST

Imagine if the US government were to earmark millions of dollars for fostering democracy in the developing world but neglect to require that the NGOs receiving the money encourage a positive view of America, or at the very least strenuously disavow ideological anti-Americanism. Congress would quickly and rightly take the administration to task for such folly.

No taxpayer should be expected to fund those who hate his or her country, or even those who are ambivalent about opposing the haters.

Our leaders are failing us because they refuse to act on the sure knowledge that an over-reliance on defensive measures does not deter aggression. It invites aggression.

T. Belman. Please note that this letter was drafted by AIPAC and said “The only way to resolve the conflicts between the two is through direct negotiations that lead to a sustainable two-state solution.” Yet the GOP platform makes no reference to the TSS. In fact AIPAC tried to stop stop the platform from removing reference to the two state solution. So they are trying again. Cruz and Rubio did not sign the letter because of this inclusion.

Nevertheless, it is a great show of force to prevent interference by Obama and the UN.

88 US Senators submitted a bipartisan letter Monday calling for President Barack Obama to uphold US policy that calls for a veto of any one-sided United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a press release of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

The letter, initiated by Senators Gillibrand, Kirsten E. (D-NY) and Mike Rounds (R-SD) quotes Obama’s speech to the General Assembly in 2011, in which he said, “Peace will not come through statements and resolutions at the United Nations.”

[..] Tell me Trump won’t win, my friends are emailing. It’s a slow-motion train wreck, they’re saying, and I feel helpless to stop it. Why is the media letting Trump get away with it? I wouldn’t be so nervous if it weren’t for Gary Johnson; if it weren’t for millennial apathy, for alt-right propaganda, for Paul Ryan’s cowardice; if it weren’t for sexism, racism, infotainment, Idiocracy, plutocracy, Citizens United, voter suppression…. Help!

There was a time when Hillary Clinton’s team believed she would win every swing state, many by double digits.

That time has passed.

According to today’s Washington Post, the Clinton team is now “pessimistic” about holding Iowa and Ohio, and they believe Florida and North Carolina will be close. Right now, the latest polls have Donald Trump ahead in all four states. If he were to win those four states, as well as Nevada, he would be one state away from winning the presidency.

Justice Minister speaks about the unity of Jerusalem, Judea & Samaria as eternally bound to Israel, and the fight against BDS.

By Eiran Aharon, ARUTZ SHEVA

Last Sunday the whole world stood together in memory of the victims of the September 11 attacks.
15 years have passed but the war of the free world against radical Islamic terrorism is still far from over.

A direct line connects the criminals who planned and perpetrated the September 11 attacks and the accursed terrorists who this year attacked innocents in Orlando and in Jerusalem, in Paris and in Tel Aviv, in Brussels and in Kiryat Arba.

T. Belman. Don’t think for a minute, that Israeli demands are limited to security and minimal refugees. That’s just for starters. Israel rejects ’67 lines as borders and a division of Jerusalem. Netanyahu may be ready to cave but the government will fall before that happens.

Ross says that Trump couldn’t undo such a resolution. I think otherwise. The GOP platform which Trump supports says “We oppose any measures intended to impose an agreement or to dictate borders or other terms, and call for the immediate termination of all US funding of any entity that attempts to do so.” This means that a Trump administration would cut off funding for the UN.

Outgoing president would want to create standards his successor cannot undo, Dennis Ross says at Palo Alto confab on future of Zionism sponsored by The Times of Israel

By Raphael Ahren, TOI

PALO ALTO, California — A looming Donald Trump presidency would make it more likely for lame-duck US President Barack Obama to support a United Nations Security Council resolution laying down the basic parameters for the creation of Palestinian state, a former top US official said Sunday.

“I suspect that if Trump wins, the president would be more inclined to go for a Security Council resolution to try to do something that binds, creates standards for the future that the next president couldn’t undo,” Dennis Ross said at a conference on the future of Zionism and the US-Israel relationship. “If Clinton wins, I suspect he [Obama] would be more sensitive to her concerns as to whether this helps or hurt her.”

Three ISDF generals were testifying on behalf of IDF Sgt. Elor Azria as the trial into the case of the soldier’s shooting of a subdued Palestinian terrorist continued at the Jaffa Military Court on Monday.

In what could possibly be the most consequential day of the trial so far, the generals are expected argue that Azaria’s actions were justified given the dangerous circumstances surrounding the incident.

The generals were also due to testify that they had seen worse behavior from soldiers in the past who had not been tried for criminal offenses in court.
