Where is the ‘humanitarian aid’ for the hostages?  

The world is pressuring Israel about the crisis in Gaza, while ignoring the men, women and children who are being abused and starved in Hamas captivity.

The day after President Joe Biden announced that the United States would begin airdrops of humanitarian aid to Gaza, U.S. military planes parachuted pallets of food and water over the beach in the southwest of the Strip.

Biden made this declaration during a joint press briefing on Friday with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who claimed that the “humanitarian crisis [in Gaza] is our No. 1 priority.”

Why is Biden pushing for an immoral hostage deal?  

Pressure on Israel to agree to pay an exorbitant ransom for the hostages that will grant victory to Hamas isn’t just politically motivated. It’s a betrayal of American interests.

By Jonathan S. Tobin, ISRAEL HAYOM                        3 March 2024

A late-night comedy show isn’t the place you generally go for insights on the prospects for stability in the Middle East. But the appearance this week of President Joe Biden on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” gave us more than just another example of the broadcast network’s daily in-kind contributions to the Democrats and Biden’s re-election campaign.

The fawning interview served up softballs to the 81-year-old president, intending to undermine concerns about his age and declining abilities. It also served as an opportunity for him to tell us just what the United States stands for in international affairs. The fuzzy rhetoric of the president about being a “Zionist” notwithstanding, his statements about what he wants to happen in the Middle East showed that he was primarily interested in currying favor with his party’s intersectional left wing that despises Zionism and that is well-represented in Hollywood. Working to ensure that Islamist terrorists no longer pose a threat to Israelis or Americans wasn’t high on his “To Do” list.

Latest Harvard-Harris Poll Shows Strong Support For Israel  

Despite the spittle-flecked protesters on college campuses chanting in fascistic unison that “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free,” which means, if properly understood, that the tiny Jewish state should disappear in order that it might be replaced by a twenty-third Arab one, despite the anti-Israel animus displayed on the nightly news and in the major newspapers such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, despite the Bidenites’ distancing themselves from Israel as it fights its fourth war for survival — the previous three being those of 1948, 1967, and 1973 — and so much attention is given to the civilian casualties in Gaza by those who fail to understand that Israel has a lower civilian-to-combatant ratio of deaths in the current war (4:3) than has been attained by any other army in the world, it turns out that the Americans, or more than four-fifths of them, support the plucky little state whose existence has never been a given.

Orbán: Brussels Pushes Leftist Globalist Agenda As Panic Over Upcoming European Parliamentary Elections Sets In  

By Staff Writer, THE BALKAN                                           3 March 2024

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, via his official website

During his weekly interview with Radio Kossuth in Budapest, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called out leftist forces in Brussels who are frantically trying to implement their left-wing globalist agenda ahead of this summer’s European parliamentary elections.

“There’s a phrase in the Hungarian language that accurately describes the situation in Brussels. It’s what Hungarians call ‘panic before the gates close.’ So their song is over, their mandate has expired – or at least it will expire in June – and the fine burghers of Brussels will be making one last dash, thinking that they can now complete what they failed to do when they were younger,” Orbán explained.

“Incorporating Sharia Law into European Legal Systems”: A State in India Bans Sharia

  • Lawmakers in an Indian state… have approved landmark legislation to… [ban] discrimination against women based on Islamic sharia law… personal laws that would be common for all citizens, regardless of religion.
  • Replacing sharia law with a universal civil code across all of India would vastly ensure more rights for women and children and secure gender equality, and would be most welcome in other nations on the grounds of humanitarian fairness.

Now or never wake-up call for American Jewish Progressives  

It’s out there in the open for all to see. Americans are overwhelmingly pro-Israel but their leadership is now aligned with the terrorists in Gaza. Op-ed.

It’s par for the course to see Progressive American Jews close their eyes and minds to reality as they continue to follow the Democrat breadcrumb trail that leads to the suicidal Masada-like cliff from which they’ll willingly jump. Nothing helps in the effort to un-hypnotize them from the lies they ingest reading the NYT and watching MSNBC, even the blocking of Times Square by pro-Hamas protestors when a grenade was found by a cab driver.

by

A New Generation of Islamist Political Power

The response in state legislatures to the Hamas Islamic terror attacks of Oct 7 showed how thoroughly Islamists have infiltrated our political system and the threat that they pose.

In Delaware, Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton, the first Muslim elected in Delaware, heckled Vice President Kamala Harris at a Christmas party, demanding that Israel stop attacking Hamas.

VGNI – Building & Rebuilding  

By Michael Ordman, VGNI

Not even a war can stop Israel building on its 75-years of success in rebuilding a Jewish State.

Israel continues to build up its basket of subsidized medical treatments, create new remedies for global diseases, discover the secret for building bigger families, and construct medical centers for rehabilitating the injured.

How the Biden Administration Quietly Punishes Israel  

By Shoshana Bryen, JEWISH POLICY CTR.                1 March 2024

Unable to persuade Israel to subordinate its national security policy to the dictates of the U.S. government and its allies in the European Union, Qatar and the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, the Biden administration has initiated sanctions and pressures of varying sorts against Israel and Israeli entities. Each has the potential for escalation, and each should be seen as an opening gambit.

The Day after the War in Gaza: A Palestinian State?  

Peloni:  A very interesting conversation.  Doran believes that the US will recognize a Pal state by early summer and that Bibi is threading a needle to maintain his position in opposing the creation of a Pal state while also supporting the Americans desire for a path to a Pal state with the agreement to allow the creation of a Pals technocratic administration to rule in Gaza which will sooner or later be associated with the PA which the US will employ to create the Pal state which Bibi opposes.  Kupperwasser and Diker explain why he is wrong to believe that Bibi is not completely opposed to the imposition of the TSS by the US.

Mike Doran, Yossi Kupperwasser, & Dan Diker | The Hudson Institute |February 29, 2024

On February 21, the Knesset voted overwhelmingly to back Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declaration of opposition to any “unilateral” recognition of a Palestinian state. But press reports based on interviews with senior American officials suggest that the Biden administration might recognize an independent Palestine once the war in Gaza ends. Doing so before reaching a comprehensive deal between the Palestinians and the Israelis would mark a dramatic shift in Washington’s position.

Join Hudson for a conversation with Senior Fellow Michael Doran, Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) Director Dan Diker, and JCPA Senior Project Manager Yossi Kuperwasser on what this policy shift could mean in the region and beyond.

Biden ‘Abused Classification System’ To Hide Iranian Assassination Plots, Cruz Says  

Iran engaged in efforts to assassinate former secretary of state Mike Pompeo and other US officials

The Biden administration suppressed information about Iran’s efforts to assassinate U.S. officials to ensure Congress and the American public were kept in the dark, according to a lawmaker on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

“What Americans don’t know is that the Biden administration has gone to great lengths to hide the extent and persistence of those threats” from Iran, Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) said during a Senate hearing Wednesday on Tehran’s network of terror proxies. Those threats include active plots to assassinate former secretary of state Mike Pompeo and other top U.S. officials.

Michigan’s ‘uncommitted’ voters confirm Israel’s strengths — and Biden’s weakness  

Glick tweets: Netanyahu represents the views of upwards of 3/4 of Israelis, (and 2/3 of Americans). It is Biden who is being led by the fanatics in his party who support Hamas.

For months, President Joe Biden and his advisors have alleged that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is captive to the “ultra-conservative” ministers in his coalition government, and out of step with mainstream Israeli public opinion.

DEA Halts Weapons-Grade Plutonium En Route to Iran  

A Japanese crime syndicate played middleman for the mullahs.

By Jason Stauffer, AM SPECTATOR                         28 February 2024

Last week, the Justice Department released charges against Japanese criminal syndicate Yakuza leader Takeshi Ebisawa, who was caught in a Drug Enforcement Administration sting attempting to sell weapons-grade plutonium to Iran. In the midst of the Gaza war, which has seen tensions with Tehran continue to rise, nuclear trafficking almost entered the already hostile situation for American troops in the Middle East.

Ukraine Commanders Fear Collapse of the Front by Summer  

E.Rowell:  This analysis asserts that the money being asked for in the US Congress will not help, since the problem for Ukraine is the lack of manpower.  There are just not enough men to fight the war.  The consequences of the war in Ukraine so far have been hundreds of thousands of deaths of Ukrainians, damage and destruction to the economies of Ukraine, the US, and Europe, all in the vain hopes of destroying Russia.

This war seems to be primarily about protecting a major source of money laundering and other criminal corrupt practices for global predators. Those who support this war are supporting these global predators who are currently also trying to destroy our constitutional republic.
