Column: The president’s incoherence and the US-Israel divide

By Matthew Continetti, FREE BEACON                            29 Marc 2024

On March 25, the United States abstained from a United Nations Security Council vote calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. (The resolution separately called on Hamas to release its captives.) It was the first time since the war began six months ago that America has failed to protect Israel from efforts at delegitimization through multilateral institutions such as the United Nations. The United States could have vetoed the resolution, as it has done in the past. It chose not to. The shameful decision emboldened Hamas terrorists and undermined our alliance with the Jewish state.

Thursday Bezalel Smotrich beat the Biden administration at its own game.

On March 14, the US Treasury Dept. announced new sanctions against two Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria that the administration accused of being used as a base for attacks on innocent PA Arabs. The Treasury Dept. also sanctioned three Israeli settlers: Moshe Sharvit, Zvi Bar Yosef, and Neriya Ben Pazi.

They followed earlier sanctions against four other Jewish settlers, which Israeli banks promptly blocked from accessing their personal accounts.

E. Rowell:  At this moment in time it is especially important to hear directly from Prime Minister Netanyahu that he stands firm and that all of Israel is standing firm in their goal of destroying Hamas.   Despite the fact that Iran’s propaganda has paid for angry pro-Palestinian demonstrations that verge on violence around the world, the support for Israel in the US is extremely high.  Read the comments underneath the YouTube video.

What will be the repercussions of the United States allowing a U.N. ceasefire resolution to pass? Has this irreparably harmed the relationship? Has it opened Israel up to new attacks?

Most of his life, Donald Trump was the darling of Hollywood and friends with Democrats and Republicans alike, until he announced his candidacy for president in 2015. Since that fateful day coming down the escalator in Trump Tower, Trump has endured the most egregious vicious political persecution ever seen in American history. He has been maliciously smeared, wrongly prosecuted, and now faces government sanctioned plunder of his property. They have tried everything to destroy Trump but assassination!

At this moment, in America, there is no distinction within the U.S. Red Cross between blood that was donated by vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals.

When you donate blood, the organization asks you whether you’ve received the COVID-19 vaccine, but that has nothing to do with your eligibility.

Peloni:  US sanctions rolled back!  This was a sizeable victory.  Well done Smotrich!

The USA has significantly reduced the sanctions it imposed on residents of Judea and Samaria following Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s threats of economic sanctions against Palestinian Authority banks.

The Biden administration has significantly reduced the sanctions imposed on seven residents of Judea and Samaria, allowing them to once again use their bank accounts.

According to the Israel Hayom, the American retraction comes following the threat by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to collapse the Palestinian economy.

T. Belman.  Yes I know he wrote the Israel Lobby but what he has to say is right on regarding the Ukraine War. He also starts by explaining the difference between the Realist School of which he is a leader and the Liberal school that the West embraces.

The discussion of the Gaza War begins at 41.29. Please avoid it at all costs. The intervewer begins by calling it  a massacre or genocide and Mearsheimer begins by blaming the Israel Lobby. That was enough fo me and I stopped watching.

Biden administration officials reportedly in preliminary conversations on proposal to help fund either a multinational force or a Palestinian Arab peacekeeping team in post-war Gaza.

Biden administration officials are in preliminary “conversations” about options for stabilizing post-war Gaza, including a proposal for the Pentagon to help fund either a multinational force or a Palestinian Arab peacekeeping team, Politico reported on Thursday.

The options being considered would not involve US troops on the ground, according to two Defense Department officials and two other US officials quoted in the report. Instead, DOD funding would go toward the needs of the security force and complement assistance from other countries.

In his recent State of the Union, Joe Biden told Black Americans, “I have your back.” The 2020 presidential election showed that this statement is not unreasonable — according to polls, the Democrat candidate was supported by about 87% of black voters, as well as 67% and 63% of citizens with Asian and Hispanic roots, respectively. These are very serious figures — at the moment, people of color make up 25% of the entire U.S. population.

That group of voters is expected to be critical to Biden’s potential success on Nov. 5. It is easy to predict that most of the minority population is likely to vote for the incumbent. However, at the moment, the Biden administration has faced a tangible problem — the level of support for the Democrat president among the above-mentioned groups is steadily decreasing.

E. Rowell:  Information recently surfaced that the successful massive campaign of lies presenting Palestinians as victims and turning history upside down and inside out was funded by George Soros NGOs.  It appears that while the globalists have endless funds to use to try to control the flow of information, they will never succeed.  There are just too many people now awake.

Journalist-daughter of key ally to Václav Havel offers evidence that the US government, the European Union, and George Soros are funding a crackdown on free speech in the Czech Republic

Many in the West remember the heroism of Czech writers and artists in the fight for freedom of speech during totalitarian Communist rule. The most famous of these dissidents was Václav Havel. But another prominent figure who fought for freedom in the former Czechoslovakia was Ludvík Vaculík, my father. “He himself was censored for more than two decades,” noted the New York Times in its 2015 obituary, “but still managed to write a series of influential articles, books and novels…”

E. Rowell:  Spoiler Alert: Hamas realizes they are beaten….for now.  Their plan is to make a “peace deal” in which they will get hundreds of murderers released from Israeli prison to go to the West Bank, and with their remaining forces, engage in a war of attrition which they believe will end with Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria and Gaza.  If this or any Israeli government gives in to these delusional demands it will certainly be the end of Israel.

Israel fights Hamas alone illustration by Linas Garsys / The Washington Times 

OPINION:

“Israel Alone” is the headline on the cover of the March 23 issue of The Economist, a British weekly. The illustration shows an Israeli flag buffeted by a sandstorm.

I wonder if Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, is sitting in a tunnel under Rafah gazing at that image and if it’s brought a smile to his lips.

The beleaguered State of Israel has become the scapegoat that must bear the sins of the West?—?imperialism, colonialism, and oppression

By JOSEF JOFFE, HOOVER INSTITUTE

The Germans will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz,” runs a bizarre quip ascribed to the Israeli psychiatrist Zvi Rex. To deconstruct it, consult Dr. Freud. “A convenient way to dispatch guilt,” he might expound, “is to project it onto your victim”?—?like a schoolyard bully who huffs that the fight started when the other guy hit back.Guilt-swapping is precisely what Hamas’s cheerleaders around the world did even before Israel struck back after October 7. Hamas had tortured, raped, and murdered 1,200 Israelis. Instead of condolences, Israel reaped a global orgy of antisemitism, be it masked or overt, that also engulfed Jews everywhere, especially university students (demonstrating that higher education is no antidote for frenzy). It was a perfect reversal of cause and effect.

Since the Krokus attacks occurred, the West has been in utter overdrive to pin the blame on ISIS while absolving Ukraine from any responsibility. The heavy-handed desperation with which they’ve gone to lengths in doing this reveals the game and tells us everything we need to know about the nature of the attacks.
