Peloni: More fallout from the Iranian attack on Israel. Unfortunately, it would appear that the US is more interested in sanctioning its long standing ally Israel than its self avowed enemy Iran.
Brussels – 25 April 2024
The AJC Transatlantic Institute welcomes today’s historic European Parliament Resolution calling for the snapback of all UN sanctions against Iran. Lawmakers urged Germany, France, and the UK–the three European parties to the Iran nuclear deal–to set a deadline for Tehran to comply with its nuclear obligations or invoke the snap-back sanctions mechanism.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich claims that numerous processes to seize land in Judea and Samaria are waiting only for the Defense Minister’s signature.

Bezalel Smotrich Israel National News
Defense Minister Yoav Galant is stopping extensive plans in Judea and Samaria, which are only waiting for his approval after being approved by the highest echelons in the government.
According to Israel Hayom, the Settlement Division, which Bezalel Smotrich leads due to his tenure as a minister in the Defense Ministry, there has long been pressure to promote these plans, including declaring thousands of square metres in the Jordan Valley as state land and the restitution of Jewish buildings that were confiscated in 1929 in Hebron. Gallant has so far not advanced the plans. Read more…

And in spite of a ruling from a State Bar of California judge recommending that his law license be revoked.
Last summer, the State Bar charged Mr. Eastman, the former Dean of Chapman University Law School, with 11 counts of misconduct related to his role in representing former President Donald Trump after the 2020 presidential election.
E. Rowell: Is there anywhere in the world where it is safe to be a Jew? I submit that Israel is the safest place for Jews to live, to bring up their families, and to be part of the Jewish community.

As Jews wake up to the reality that the Democrat party has broken its decades’ long implied promise to protect the Jews from another Holocaust, Joe Biden may be doubling down on an effort to placate the Hamas wing of the Democrat party. According to an Israeli reporter who has highly placed contacts at the Hague, the International Criminal Court (“ICC”) is planning to arrest senior Israeli officials, something it would do only if it had the Biden administration’s permission.
E. Rowell: An editorial note: where document images were sized for Israpundit website formatting, and text or quotes were cut off, I tried to add the missing text at the top or bottom of the image. Judge Cannon is a courageous judge with many forces arrayed against her. Of the four lawfare cases against Donald Trump, she is the only judge who is not a democrat party activist or Soros funded puppet.

If you have followed law and politics for any length of time, you have probably heard of “speaking indictments.” That’s where the prosecution will write an indictment or court motion with very granular -yet perhaps not pertinent- details of a case against a suspect that highlights a much bigger picture than a singular perspective against the individual defendant. The intent is to make the public aware of the details within a case by making them part of the court record.
The Iranian attack on Israel seems a historic blunder. It opened up a new chapter in which its own soil, thanks to its attack on Israel, is no longer off limits to any Western power.

Details of the recent limited Israeli retaliatory strike against Iranian anti-aircraft missile batteries at Isfahan are still sketchy. But nonetheless, we can draw some conclusions.
The target was near the Natanz enrichment facility. That proximity was by design. Israel showed Iran it could take out the very anti-missile battery designed to thwart an attack on its nearby nuclear facility.

On October 17, 2016, Donald Trump issued a press release and subsequent Tweet stating, “I will make our Government honest again — believe me. But first I am going to have to #DrainTheSwamp.” in Washington, D.C. Thereby creating a campaign slogan that was instrumental in his winning the 2016 election as Trump seized on an extremely popular position that resonated with a majority of the electorate.

Mosab Hassan Yousef was born in Ramallah to one of the founders of the Islamist movement. Growing up, Mosab embraced his father’s ideology and was arrested by Israeli authorities multiple times, starting at age 10, for crimes like throwing stones at Israeli settlers and purchasing guns. But during a stint in Israeli prison in the late 90s, at age 18, he became an Israeli informant.

Speaking on MSNBC, Professor Scott Galloway discussed historical international military responses to underline his defense of Israel. He referenced significant events in U.S. history, noting, “After the attack on Pearl Harbor, which resulted in the deaths of 2,200 American servicemen, the U.S. military actions during World War II led to the deaths of approximately 3.5 million Japanese, including 100,000 in a single night. Similarly, following the 9/11 attacks that killed 2,800 Americans, subsequent U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq resulted in around 400,000 deaths. In these contexts, the U.S. was not accused of genocide.”

Police on Wednesday arrested over a dozen people, including a local news photographer, at a pro-Palestinian Arab protest at the University of Texas at Austin, The Associated Press reported.
Hundreds of local and state police – including some on horseback and holding batons – shoved into protesters to get them off the main campus lawn, at one point sending some tumbling into the street, according to the report. Officers pushed their way into the crowd to make arrests with zip ties.

A grand jury in Arizona on Wednesday indicted 18 Republicans, including Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, with conspiracy, fraud, and forgery for submitting a document to Congress “falsely” declaring that Donald Trump beat Joe Biden in Arizona’s popular vote during the 2020 presidential election.
The court documents identify a “prior U.S. president,” presumably referring to President Trump, as an unindicted co-conspirator.

When a missile exploded near a Gaza hospital in October last year, the New York Times reported that hundreds had been killed in a blast caused by an Israeli missile that struck the hospital.
The Hamas terrorist group made all of those claims. None of them were true.
Western intelligence agencies over the next few days agreed with Israel that it was an off-course missile fired by Hamas or another terrorist group that exploded prematurely. The rocket hit a hospital parking lot where some people were gathered. And most reported the casualties as much lower.

Isn’t it interesting how so many people never seem to really worry about the Israeli children, just those on the Palestinian side?

Earlier this week, the notorious United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees posted photos of children in Gaza with the caption: “One child is killed or injured every 10 minutes.”
It was just another one of the countless blatantly calculated lies on which the Palestinian narrative, spanning decades, has been predominantly built.
In fact, there are so many lies that it is nearly impossible to discern fact from fiction across virulent Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim propaganda — all with the goal not of legitimizing their “plight” but of delegitimizing the Jewish state.

If you believe the enemies of the free world, Israel is guilty of the worst crimes against humanity. Governments, international organizations, NGOs, academics, and student activists condemn its post-October 7th actions against Islamic terrorists. Leftist media makes the only democracy in the Middle East seem worse than communist China.
Consider only a few of China’s numerous atrocities that Western governments, international bodies, and mainstream media overlook:
The American brand will suffer so long as Washington pretends its capacities are limitless.
By Douglas Macgregor, AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE 23 April 2024
It is an axiom of warfare that it is always desirable to have friendly territory beyond one’s own borders or the capacity to prevent the buildup of significant military power in neutral territory for an attack against one’s own territory. When it lacked the military strength to do much, the United States promulgated the Monroe Doctrine with a similar purpose in mind.
E. Rowell: There are many fallacies in the ‘global warming’ hypothesis, the most central fallacy and the most ridiculous is the idea that too much CO2 he atmosphere is “the problem.” Even were it possible to lower atmospheric CO2, doing so would cause devastation to the earth. All living animals including humans get our oxygen from plants. Plants require CO2 for photosynthesis. Any reduction in CO2 would cause a reduction in plant life on earth, which would cause a reduction in all animal life on earth. How is that “saving the earth?”

Contrary to the breathless pronouncements by globalists, elitists, and climate hysterics, we don’t have a “climate crisis.” What plagues us, rather, is a crisis of lying about climate, science, and big government solutions to these imagined problems.
