Slow walking the war in Gaza and Lebanon. Avivi says Carpe Diem and he will prevail.  

By Ted Belman.

In November of last year, I wrote Israel is in a strong position, not a weak one.

Assuming that is the case, Israel should still not agree to a ceasefire. Instead, she should follow Biden’s advice:

“The new phase that the Americans envision would involve smaller groups of elite forces that would move in and out of population centers in Gaza, carrying out more precise missions to find and kill Hamas leaders, rescue hostages and destroy tunnels, the officials said.”

In addition, following such tactics would reduce Israel’s need for resupply and that would render her more immune to US pressure.

Can Israel afford NOT to defy State Department pressure?  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”   July 2, 2024,

The current pressure on Israel

Since Israel’s establishment in 1948 – which was ferociously opposed by the State Department, and tenaciously realized by Israel’s defiant Founding Father, David Ben Gurion – The State Department has systematically pressured Israel to act against its own assessment of its own national security requirements.  In fact, in most cases, Israel’s compliance with State Department pressure undermined the US’ own interests, while a defiant Israel spared a major setback to the US’ own interests.

*Since the horrific Hamas terrorism of October 7, 2023, the State Department – which subscribes to a worldview, contending that terrorism is driven by despair, and therefore should be confronted diplomatically and financially, not militarily – has intensified the pressure on Israel to refrain from militarily preempting Hezbollah, the chief proxy of Iran’s Ayatollahs.

James Clyburn Visits 10 Key Precincts for Ballot Collection in Three Wisconsin Cities (Madison, Milwaukee, Beloit) and No One Notices  

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the performance and not see them.  The same thing happens when you know the details of how ballots are different than votes, and how the ballots are manipulated.

U.S. elections are no longer about “votes,” modern elections in America are about “ballots”.   As we have seen in several election cycles, the election winner is not the person who gets the most votes – the election winner is the person who collects, submits and ultimately counts the most ballots.  The same is true for the presidential electoral victory; it’s the person who gets the most ballots, not votes.

The Bias That Ruins So Much Science  

Peloni:  Science, good science, requires a concerted effort to design studies to specifically remove factors such as selection bias, and yet, what we have seen over the past several years, particularly in what has been passed as ‘research’ on Covid and the ‘safe and effective’ vaccines, is an almost routine use of such mismanaged study designs whose results are dependent upon those factors not being considered and not being removed.  Bad science is in fact not science at all.  It is propaganda, commonly used to mask its support for special interests as was true going back to the Bernay survey which came to recommend the import of eating bacon for breakfast to improve the sales of the pork industry over a century ago.  As the Covid scam becomes more and more revealed and its foundational scientific research is demonstrably seen to be not just flawed but rigged towards an ultimate outcome, demand an accountability for all who were involved in this skullduggery, and a return to investigating the wonders of the universe asnd not the profit margins of such industries as are supported by selection bias passed off as scientific research.

Jeffrey A. Tucker | July 3, 2024

These last years have provided a tremendous education in the ways seemingly rigorous science can actually be highly misleading. Much of the problem traces to a simple idea: selection bias. Once you understand it, much of what we think we know about what is true, along with many studies showing it to be true, melt away.

Good science corrects for the problem but it is still ubiquitous.

Let’s take a simple example.

Say you have a dog and you make his own meals. You are careful about this and rather strict, making sure that you have all the right vitamins and minerals in the meals and each is the right size and you stick with it daily. You monitor the results. You save money. The dog is healthy and happy.

The jihadi-leftist convergence  

Peloni:  The Chinese are a greater problem than can be dealt with by Israel.  Israel is capable of dealing effectively with the terror sublets which today surround her, and the Israeli people are currently inclined to dispatch these problems as they have too long been allowed to fester, but only the US might deal with China, even as they would prefer to waste their resources and alienate potential partners in their failed attempt to regime change Russia.  As the focus of the US has been for decades focused upon elective wars and international intrigues, it should have been contending with the growing threat and power of China.  The return of Trump and sanity will hopefully lead the US, to refocus its attention in countering the arising threat  from China which today has its tentacles of control growing across the world and even among the youth of America.  If a credible response from the US to China is not forthcoming, it will likely foreshadow ever darkening events for the West in genera, but for Israel in particular.

Carlos the Jackal was an early adopter

Clifford D. May | FDD | July 3, 2024

Younger readers may not have heard of Carlos the Jackal, and older readers may have forgotten (because sometimes that’s how it goes, as we were reminded last week). So, let me tell you his story.

Ilich Ramirez Sanchez was born in Venezuela in 1949. His father, a wealthy Marxist lawyer, gave him that first name in honor of Vladimir Ilich Lenin.

From 1968-70, young Ilich studied at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow.

By holding this conference and promoting this plan, we have become mortal enemies of Hamas, Fatah, the PLO and King Abdullah. We have received threats.

Alarms of Danger Hitting Jordan

By Sami Maitah

Published by most Jordanian news sites 18-08-2017

The most dangerous thing [against Jordan] now is the movement to hold a conference at the Began Center of Intelligence about Jordan being the solution. The points of discussions include the form of the Jordanian states and concepts that bring a coup against Jordan’s constitution and national identity of Jordan. From the points of discussion and the concepts, this is a provocative message by all means and desires that the Jordanian state stops at those.

Guterres’s coddling of Iran shows the UN’s credibility is dying – opinion  

Iravani proudly boasted of his country’s promise to “obliterate Israel if Israel attacks Hezbollah in Lebanon.” 

By Alan Baker

In a scandalous, shameful, and disgraceful statement published on June 29 by the Iranian UN Mission’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, Iran’s UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani blatantly, and even proudly boasted of his country’s promise to “obliterate Israel if Israel attacks Hezbollah in Lebanon.”

One may assume that nobody was really very surprised by such a statement emanating from a senior Iranian official.

This, especially in light of the multitude of similar threats to annihilate Israel emanating on a daily basis from the Iranian political and military leadership, as well as the abhorrent, weekly antisemitic sermons by senior Iranian ayatollahs and other clerics throughout Iran echoing the antisemitic sentiments of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Maybe nobody lost Turkey, NATO should stop pretending nothing is wrong  

Sinan Ciddi | FDD | July 2, 2024

Understanding Turkey’s relationship with its Western allies is challenging, at times, non-sensical. Scholars debate between whether the West actually ‘lost’ Turkey, or whether Ankara actually chose to drift away from being identified as a stalwart member of NATO, or a key strategic ally of the US Some say, it’s neither. It is simply a function of a more independent and economically assertive Turkey, seeking strategic autonomy, that does not feel obligated to tow the western line at all times. Whichever explanation one sees as correct, is less important than the long list of grievances that isolates Turkey inside of NATO and its relationship with Washington. These range from Turkey’s foot-dragging over NATO expansion, adding Finland and Sweden to the alliance, all the way to actively supporting Russia’s war effort in Ukraine. Some argue that despite lingering problems, there is no need for alarm, as many of the disagreements are not new, are managed, and as a result, Turkey and the West can continue to coast along by co-operating in areas where they agree and agreeing to disagree, where they don’t. This is unsustainable.

New York Prosecutor Asks Judge to Delay Trump Sentencing – SCOTUS Immunity Ruling Changes Everything  

Sundance | July 2, 2024

[SOURCE]

In a letter to Judge Merchan earlier today, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg is asking for a postponement of sentencing.

Regardless of the corrupt Lawfare trial outcome, the Supreme Court ruling around presidential immunity has thrown a wrench into the former prosecution’s case.

Alvin Bragg used evidence, within the trial, that has been deemed by the Supreme court to be inadmissible. President Trump’s lawyers are filing a motion to overturn the judgement based on the SCOTUS ruling. Bragg now requests additional time to review the Lawfare consequences and construct his own legal strategy.

UN Hamas Apologist Under Investigation  

Peloni:  Hamas apologist, Francesca Albanese, who is the UN monitor responsible for investigating “Israeli violations” in its war with Hamas, is herself now being investigated after it had been revealed that she illegally accepted funds from a pro-Hamas organization to pay for her recent ~$20,000 trip to Australia and New Zealand where she was actively lobbying for the divestment from Israel of a major pension fund.
