Peloni:  The sense of bravery and spirit embodied by Golan, both on and off stage, has been highly effective in embodying the pluck of the Israeli people, refusing to be cowered into accepting defeat, and persevering against great odds as they effectively face their abusers with poise and skill.  Indeed, it is very inspiring to know that the the coming generation is characterized by people of such strength, vitality and creativity as demonstrated by Eden Golan.  The fact that her performance won a close second highest televoting score demonstrates the resonance with which her persona and performance resonated with the general publics of the world.

Israel’s representative finished fifth in Eurovision 2024 and Switzerland was crowned the winner. “We had one goal – to make Israel’s strong voice known to the world – and we achieved it in a big way,” Golan said, adding, “There were difficult moments, but we didn’t give up and gave it our all.” Keren Pels: “There are women and men who go through the worst of all in Gaza. We will continue to express their voice even after Eurovision”

After almost completely ignoring the judges, Eden Golan came in fifth place tonight (between Saturday and Sunday) in Eurovision thanks to the score from the audience. “I’m so proud of where we got to,” she said shortly after the results were announced. “Proud for the privilege I was given to represent my country with honor, and proud to be the one sent on this mission this year.”

T. Belman. The transcript of the full interview is at the bottom of page. This article omits, inter alia, what Trump had to say about the two-state solujtion.

“There was a time when I thought two states could work. Now I think two states is going to be very, very tough.”

“A Palestinian state would be a terrorist state that would endanger the existence of Israel and the international pressure to establish it is an injustice on a historical scale,”

By ERIC CORTELLESSA , TIME 

What emerged in two interviews with Trump, and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisers and confidants, were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world. To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland.

Peloni:  Glick describes the fundamental shift of support by the Democratic party from being a strong supporter of Israel to being a strong supporter of Iran.  She notes that there is but one choice for American Jews in the coming US election, as both Israel and Jewish rights will be on November ballot.  What goes unstated however is that there is but one choice for Americans in general, Jews and Gentiles alike, in the coming election, as America too will be on the ballot.  Hopefully, the support for Trump will be too great to be defeated once again by the election fraud which betrayed the will of the American people in the 2020 election.

So far, administration sychophants have not succeeded in turning the American people against either the Jewish state or the Jewish people.

Peloni:  This is an important article which chronicles the use of eugenics to support attempts to support racists agendas, a policy which began in America and was later exported to Germany.

By Janet Levy | American Thinker | May 10, 2024

Nazi Germany wasn’t the first nation to be enamored with racial purity and a master race. 

It was America. 

Proponents of eugenics gained immense influence here in the early 20th century.  They hoped to incarcerate millions of “unfit” Americans in colonies, forbid them from marrying, or forcibly sterilize them so that, within several generations, only white Nordics would remain.  For them, this was ultimately a global enterprise.

Historian and prolific author Edwin Black chronicles this dark phase of American history in his extensively researched book War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America’s Campaign to Create a Master Race.  He charts how dubious scientific studies gained support and led to forced sterilizations, segregation, marriage prohibitions, and immigration restrictions for targeted populations.

Israel’s Supreme Court relies on the discredited theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt to justify its antidemocratic rule

During the turbulent years of the Weimar Republic, the idea that there are limits on the people’s power to amend the constitution was raised in public discourse by Adolf Hitler. In preparing for the 1932 presidential election, the parties supporting the Weimar Republic united behind the incumbent President Paul von Hindenburg. However, the 84-year-old ex-general wanted to avoid campaigning for reelection. For this reason, the “Weimar coalition” proposed an amendment to Article 41 of the Weimar Constitution to enable the Reichstag to extend Hindenburg’s term through a simple parliamentary vote. In opposition to this amendment, Hitler argued that there were limits on the ability to amend the Weimar Constitution.

When the ancient Greek king’s emissary came to the ancient Israeli city of Modi’in and demanded that the Jews make a sacrifice to the pagan gods, Mattityahu refused, stabbed the Jew who was ready to submit, and called his people to revolt.

“Let everyone who is zealous for the law and who stands by the covenant follow me,” he cried.

A new book underlines the desperate straits of the nation qua nation.

The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart, Jeremy Carl, Regnery, 256 pages.

The latter decades of the Ottoman empire are occasionally held up as a golden age of pluralism and tolerance; in some respects, they were, particularly after the British put the kibosh on the lion’s share of the Arab slave trade. The empire’s non-Turkish, non-Muslim populations were organized into millets, or “nations,” governed by the laws particular to their religious and national groups. Armenians, Syrian Christians, Greek Orthodox, a variety of Jews, Arab Catholics—all were able to practice their religions and participate in public life with relative impunity under their own leaders, who answered to the sovereign of the sublime House of Osman, sultan of sultans, khan of khans, kalif, padishah, etc., who generally had more pressing concerns than micromanaging the affairs of the millets.

The five objectives that are enumerated in this piece encapsulate what Russia nowadays aims to achieve after over two years of intense proxy warfare with NATO.

Zelensky claimed on Friday that Russia’s long-awaited offensive had finally begun following its fresh push into Kharkov Region from which it tactically pulled back in September 2022. This precedes him likely clinging to power on legally dubious pretexts once his term expires on 21 May and aligns with the Ukrainian Intelligence Committee’s prediction of political-military troubles heading into his summer. Here are the five objectives that Russia arguably aims to achieve in view of the conflict’s larger context:

E. Rowell:  This critique is written from the standpoint of politicians in the U.K., the EU, Canada, and the U.S.A.  While some politicians in Israel fit this description, I do not think Prime Minister Netanyahu deserves this particular critique.  Of all heads of state across the globe, he is one of the very few who are standing up for his people and protecting the country. Many globalist billionaires support empowering Iran, Hamas, and the anti-Zionist movement in the US, as part of that goal to destroy the US and Israel.

As with the warriors of King David, the soldiers of Israel are again surrounded by enemies driven by hatred for the values represented by the Jewish nation and seeking their eradication. Once more, Israelis are called upon to resist forces threatening their destiny.  Pictured:  Israeli soldiers inspect the entrance to a Hamas terror tunnel just outside an UNRRWA compound in Gaza City, on February 8, 2024.

• These assaults are not only aimed at Israel and its inhabitants but, ultimately, at the West.

• Adversaries of the West — whether religious fundamentalists or authoritarian states such as China, Russia, and Iran and its allies — appear intent upon imposing a new totalitarian world order. To do so, they seek destruction of the two main countries standing in their way: United States of America and Israel, the global champions of democracy, freedom, Western values, and human rights.

The arms cutoff shows that Washington wants to let Hamas win the war it started on Oct. 7. This will do incalculable harm to U.S. interests abroad and at home.

This isn’t the first dispute between the governments of the United States and Israel. Nor is it the first time that Washington has used the supply of arms to try to pressure the Jewish state to bend to its will. But there is no precedent for what President Joe Biden has just done.

By declaring that he will stop supplying weapons to Israel, including high-tech heavy bombs and artillery shells, if it seeks to enter Rafah and eliminate Hamas’s last remaining stronghold in Gaza, the president was making a clear declaration that the United States was mandating an end to the war that the terrorist group began with the massacre of men, women and children on Oct. 7.

Peloni:  As Biden withholds arms from Israel to fight terrorists, it authorizes arms sales to terrorist controlled nations.

Adam Kredo | The Free Beacon | May 10, 2024

Less than a day before the Biden administration announced its intent to cut off U.S. arms sales to Israel, it issued a sanctions waiver to bypass congressional prohibitions on arms sales to a host of Arab nations that boycott the Jewish state, including Hamas ally Qatar and Iran-controlled Lebanon, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

Peloni:  This is an important update by Gen. Avivi.  Among other matters, Avivi shares that Israel has enough weapons to conquer Gaza and deal with the North, but that the hold on the supply of arms will change how strongly Israel can operate in the North, and also in response to further attacks from Iran.  Avivi goes on to note that before the assault on Rafah, the pressure on Israel is at its peak to keep Israel from going into Rafah, but that once the assault on Rafah is completed, the situation will change and the pressure on the US administration to release the weapons to Israel will be at that point be at its peak due to the influence of Congressmen, Senators and the public.   He also challenges all American Jews, regardless of political persuasion, to recognize that it is their responsibility to press the US govt to stop withholding vital munitions from Israel during its war against the existential threats which have so viciously attacked her.
