Biden’s betrayal of Israel may end up costing him the election

By Daniel Greenfield, FRONT PAGE    24 May 2024

After tossing Jewish voters overboard to accommodate the Hamas supporters of Dearborn, Michigan, the Democrats are starting to get nervous about the choice they made.Despite the rollout of the campaign, beginning with Senator Schumer’s floor speech blasting Israel, and various liberal Jewish surrogates, including Rep. Jerry Nadler, vocally opposing the campaign against Hamas, the Democrats did not manage to sell Jews on Biden’s betrayal.

E. Rowell:  The author’s friend looks at Trump the way elitists in general do.  Trump refuses to be politically correct and bow to the gods of DEI, therefore he is beyond the pale-someone no one need even listen to let alone vote for as President.  While praising Trump, the author points out that Trump is not perfect.  One very serious problem glossed over by the author is that he never repealed Obama’s executive order that created the DEI program now embedded in every single federal agency and most alarmingly, into the FBI and CIA.  When Trump issued his executive order to cancel DEI late in his presidency it was already too late.  DEI now RUNS the US government agencies and is totally embedded in each and every office and office holder of the deep state.  His appointing Gina Haspel to lead the CIA made a devastating problem worse.*

The man I heard in the Bronx bears scant resemblance to the bumbling yet dangerous ogre that the world has fabricated around the name Trump.

By Roger Kimball, AMERICAN GREATNESS    26 May 2024

Donald Trump’s Bronx rally on Thursday was memorable not only for its display of political virility in a foreign—i.e., Democrat—clime but also for the rhetorical excellence of the speech that Trump, in his usual circuitous manner, delivered.

Military analyst Yossi Yehoshua says October 7 massacre could have been avoided had IDF’s General Staff acted differently. ‘It is not connected to the identity of the Prime Minister.’

INN | May 26, 2024

Military analyst Yossi Yehoshua believes that the responsibility for the October 7 massacre and the ensuing war rests mostly on the military echelon.

In an interview with 103FM Radio, Yehoshua explained, “The absolute majority of responsibility is on the IDF. Different handling by the General Staff’s echelon on that night would have prevented most of the incident. It is not connected to the identity of the prime minister.”

He is calling again for the destruction of the Jewish state. Oh, not in so many words. But the clear implication of what PA officials are saying is that Israel must be destroyed as a Jewish state, and be replaced by a 23rd Arab one. More on this veiled threat can be found here: “Abbas’ advisor threatens Israel with more massacres: ‘Oct. 7 can repeat itself 100 times, and perhaps even more seriously,’” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, May 20, 2024:

Even impeccable Israeli “hasbara” can’t compete with Pallywood productions and comparable fake news, regardless of how blatantly mendacious. Op-ed.

Ruthie Blum | INN | May 27, 2024

The footage screened on a digital billboard in New York City’s Times Square on Friday isn’t for the faint-hearted. Still, viewing it is a must for anyone who doesn’t believe, or has forgotten, the atrocities committed by Hamas on Oct. 7.

The clip was released on Wednesday by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. It was filmed by a group of Palestinian Arab terrorists armed with deadly weapons and body cameras—the latter to document their genocidal attack.

Peloni: It should be recalled that on September 6, a threatening statement against the Netanyahu govt was made suggesting that due to the pursuit of Judicial Reform by Bibi’s govt, the govt would find itself without the army, without Shin Bet, and without Mossad.  One month later, Hamas attacked the Otef, and as was threatened, the army and intelligence was seen to be terribly absent.  This statement was released via X by Shikma Bressler, who was the leader of the Black Flags, which is a violent activist group formed back in 2020 to manipulate the govt.  This is the same activist leader who is released a very revealing message, again via X, and is described in the following article.

Shakma Bresler shared the link, deleted it – and published an apology

One of the prominent leaders of the protest against the government shared a briefing document for activists under the title “A friend brings a friend” • In the sections “Why the protest is likely to succeed”, it is written that it is supported by the President of the United States, heads of government in the West and the Middle East and the Hague Tribunal – and because of “his illness of the Prime Minister” • In the end she deleted the link: “I shared a website where nonsense was written that has nothing to do with reality”

Or Ravid | N12 | May 26, 2024

Shakma Bresler, one of the leaders of the protest against the government, published a link that offers “tools for a conversation that will bring the members back to the protest.” The link included, among other things, “common positions against the protest” such as the claims that the demonstration raises the price of the kidnapped and harms unity. In the section called: “Why the protest is likely to succeed”, it is written: “Powerful international factors are helping the struggle, including: the President of the United States, heads of government in the West and the Middle East, and the Hague Tribunal.” In another section, it is claimed that the protest will succeed because “the public prosecution And the media for exposing the Prime Minister’s illness is increasing.”

One of the traditional International ways to show respect to someone is to remove your hat on greeting them. So the expression “Hats off to Israel” is very appropriate for those who appreciate what Israel has contributed to the world.

In this week’s Positive newsletter are reminders to the President of Ireland that Israeli technology is saving many lives in a Dublin hospital. The President of Brazil should note that an Israeli blood testing machine is early diagnosing fatal diseases in his country.  And the President of Syria need only ask his Israeli neighbor to treat his wife with one of Israel’s many remedies for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

E. Rowell:  We are witnessing a convergence of Hungary and Balkan countries rejecting globalist EU policies.  They are becoming more vocally opposed to US presence and the US stirring up of protest movements to bring down their democratically elected leaders.  The Netherlands has a leader now rejecting multiculturalism and massive Muslim immigration. Slovakia’s PM questioned the entire COVID scam.  Now Christine LaGarde, ECB Chief, has stated not using Digital Euro for control “could be dangerous.”  The globalists are getting nervous indeed.

by Sundance, CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE    25 May 2024

The position of Hungary in the Ukraine vs Russia conflict has been consistently pragmatic.  Ukraine is NOT a NATO country, and when the USA essentially demanded that all NATO member states join in a unified mission against Russia, to promote the specific interests of the United States, it never made sense.

Government gag order:

There is a profound irony in Jack Smith seeking to block President Trump from talking about the FBI conduct, as the former president’s remarks might create “misleading impressions” about the details of the raid.  The DOJ and FBI have been leaking “misleading impressions” to the media for almost 9 years about the FBI operation investigation of Donald Trump.

One of the central tenets of antisemitism is the idea that Jews are responsible for all the evil in the world. Der Sturmer, the Nazi Party rag, summed this idea up: “the Jews are our misfortune.” Today that idea has been revamped for a more liberal era and more polite company. Now it is the Jewish state that is responsible for all the world’s ills. And the Washington Post, once a bastion of liberal thought and investigative journalism, is here to tell you why.

The lack of democracy in the Middle East? Well, that problem can be laid at the footsteps of the Jewish state and the United States, according to Post columnist Shadi Hamid (“How Israel and the United States suppress democracy in the Middle East,” May 13, 2024). The United States supports “repressive regimes, backed and armed with billions of dollars of U.S. economic and military aid.” Why do they do this? For Israel (of course).

Peloni:  The Ukrainian people should be offered the opportunity to accept or reject the Russian peace offer.  They could hold a public referendum or do something even more responsible like holding the presidential elections which the tyrant Zelensky has cancelled til the war is ended, even as he is actively taking steps to prevent the war from ending.  Of course, pursuing either of these steps would presume that the people rather than the ruling tyrant should make such choices, and no self respecting despot would stoop so low as to enquire or be concerned with what the people actually want.  Given the fact that the Ukrainian people have twice elected candidates in the post Maidan period based upon their claimed support of peace, it seems unfortunate that they will not be offered the opportunity to choose peace again.

MOSCOW/LONDON, May 24 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to halt the war in Ukraine with a negotiated ceasefire that recognizes the current battlefield lines, four Russian sources told Reuters, saying he is prepared to fight on if Kyiv and the West do not respond.

Three of the sources, familiar with discussions in Putin’s entourage, said the veteran Russian leader had expressed frustration to a small group of advisers about what he views as Western-backed attempts to stymie negotiations and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s decision to rule out talks.

Peloni:  It does seem that Egypt does not fear Hamas as has been claimed, so much as it fears the elimination of Hamas.  In fact, Sisi’s decided pronouncement that Hamas must be preserved demonstrates even greater clarity of their opposing position to Israel in this war, even more so than did their facilitating the transfer of thousands of rockets to Hamas.

Some of you may wonder, “How can an Egyptian writer write this article?” I say, being a man advocating peace, I dream of the entire Middle East region being peaceful, and I know what’s going on like the back of my hand.

By  Mohamed Saad Khiralla | Israel Hayom | May 16, 2024

Before the terrorist events carried out by Hamas on October 7, Egypt’s economic situation was extremely deteriorated, unlike anything seen before. But now, things have changed drastically. It may seem puzzling to some, but with a simple review, anyone interested will immediately discover the vast difference and the massive influx of billions of dollars that entered the “Republic of the Military” treasury in Egypt after the war in Gaza several months later.

The Egyptian regime aided Hamas by the smuggling of weapons and equipment through tunnels (denying it is childish). Many Israeli newspapers and opinion writers have discussed this support, which was openly acknowledged by President Hosni Mubarak several times during his tenure, most notably in February 2009 during the police holiday, stating, “The smuggling of weapons and goods is a result of the siege,” emphasizing that, “the Israeli-American agreement to monitor weapon smuggling does not concern us at all.” The quote ends here.

Peloni:  It is important to balance the needs of the moment against the needs of the future, but as has been demonstrated in this war on many fronts, and is evident from the war in Ukraine, the future of the IDF must include an emphasis on missile and drone programs.  Hence, the decision to purchase another squadron of the US dependent F35’s only served to re-entrench the military dependency upon the American MIC, just when Israel’s focus should be shifting away from  America and towards expanding domestic development of missile and drone programs.  Also, the schemes of contracting less than essential purchases first as described by Smotrich is something which should be an obvious point of correction for any manager, and it is both right and proper, indeed it is essential, that Smotrich should challenge the responsible parties to maximize act with appropriate husbandry of the state’s assets.  The failure to address the follies which led to October 7 in the past many months has preserved a significant liability against the war effort and which must reasonably be addressed as the state’s budget is expensed in this war.  Consequently, establishing a public committee to examine these issues, with full transparency, would seem to be both a necessary and responsible requirement to address these issues.

I will not be a partner in building the next concept!

The Israeli economy is strong and with God’s help this war will also be successful. But this war costs a lot of money. An order of magnitude of at least 250 billion NIS. And this money, which our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren will pay with interest, comes at the expense of other things for the citizens of Israel. At the expense of education and health and welfare and absorption and culture and transportation and more. And my duty as Minister of Finance is to make sure that this money also Managed efficiently and frugally and not wastefully and also invested correctly to buy maximum security for the citizens of Israel.

E. Rowell:  I watched this rally which was electrifying.  The last time a Republican campaigned in NYC was over 40 years ago when Reagan did.  What I saw:  Blacks cheering, Hispanics cheering, people of every ethnicity cheering for Trump.  The crowd was like every other Trump rally crowd:  loving him, loving his policies, loving how he expresses their frustrations about everything in our lives, and his willingness to turn around this sinking ship, which is straining under the weight of stinking corruption and rot throughout all our institutions.  He never once talked down.  He never once promised handouts.  He took responsibility to fix problems, describing previous problems that he fixed.  And he inspired!

It’s been confirmed that the Obama-Biden DOJ and FBI authorized deadly force against President Trump, his attorneys, guests and family at Mar-a-Lago when they “raided” it in August 2022 in order to seize documents they had planted one year before.

I believe they were hoping for resistance and literally wanted to have a pretext to assassinate President Trump and burn the place down. This is NO joke.

E. Rowell:  While American Jewish University students were not in Israel during the 7th of October holocaust, they experienced what Jews in Nazi Germany began to experience before Jews were actually rounded up and imprisoned.   The subversion of American education over multiple generations since the late 1920’s and 1930’s is near complete.  Cultural Marxism has brought about division, polarization into oppressed vs. oppressor groups, and “cancellation” of the so-called oppressors:  Jews are to be shunned, humiliated socially, and made to feel unwelcome in society.  Both Hitler and Stalin would approve.

E. Rowell:  I have a question.  If this technology can make the difference between winning and losing, why isn’t the Trump team involved with this group? I had the same question about Kari Lake:  she, like the Trump team now, went with “voter integrity” groups, which the O4A group says has outdated technology and cannot find the ballot fraud that is being used to manipulate the counts on election night.  What is going on here?

NGOs tied to China blowing out RNC in every swing state – watch the video!

As the video below shows, these Communist Chinese-connected orgs were active in the swing states in 2020 – admitting to sending thousands of people into Pennsylvania and Arizona to stop Trump.

E. Rowell:  It is not for nothing that the author uses a psychopathic predator as an example of a person toward whom one should feel no empathy.  Psychopaths do everything they can to make you think they are victims.  They tell you they were abused as children (which is usually completely untrue-they were pampered and enabled).  They play the victim card every time they are caught.  Anyone who empathizes with a psychopath gets destroyed by them.  Are you listening, members of the “never-Netanyahu” Israeli Left?

With Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the ICC, rampant antisemitism and unreliable allies like the USA lurking in the foreground, Israel had better stand up and do what is best for its survival. Opinion.

The problem with what is happening lately is that Israel is back at being ‘reasonable’. All that is needed for her to take another step towards self-annihilation is to consent to an appealing unrealistic theory well written on a piece of paper. That was the case for Oslo and now for ‘The Day After’ the Gaza war. Read more…

Despite the ongoing conflict, Israel has repeatedly stressed that “there are no limits on the amount of humanitarian aid that can enter Gaza.”

(May 20, 2024 / JNS)

The Hamas terrorist organization has profited at least $500 million off humanitarian aid coming into the Gaza Strip since the start of the war on Oct. 7, according to a report that aired on Israel’s Channel 12 last week.

Veteran analyst Ehud Yaari, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told the broadcaster on Thursday that, according to a calculation he made with “a friend—I don’t know if I’m allowed to mention his name,” Hamas earned “no less” than half a billion dollars from the aid.

T. Belman. When Trump had his great rally in the Bronx, he was asked if there was room in his administration for Nikki Haley. He replied in the affirmative.

By Janet Levy, AM THINKER Jan 27/24

Nikki Haley, who is opposing Donald Trump in the primaries for the Republican presidential candidate, has been described as a shape-shifter.

This is not without good reason.

Driven by ambition, she seems to have abandoned what the Republican Party stands for.  Her views on climate change, communist China, free speech, and illegal immigration are out of sync with GOP voters and conservative thinkers.  Besides, her wishy-washiness on the Great Reset, DEI/CRT, and gender fluidity raises doubts about her America First bona fides.
