Peloni:  Chikili’s tweet is actually far more effective than this article in articulating his outrage at Bennett for expressing regret to only having made promises which he later broke and for which he has tried repeatedly to marginalize both the scope and consequence of having done so.

Minister Shikli attacked former Prime Minister Bennett. “Naftali Bennett, you said this morning that you broke an election promise and made a mistake in choosing people. Shamelessly, when you build on mostly forgetting, you continue to lie with a determined face,” Shikli wrote

Maariv Online | May 19, 2024

Diaspora Minister Amichai Shikli published a tweet this evening ( Sunday ) on the social network x (formerly Twitter) in which he attacked former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett . “Naftali Bennett, you said this morning that you broke your election promise and made a mistake in choosing people. Shamelessly, when you build on mostly forgetting, you continue to lie with a determined face,” Shikli wrote.

After Gantz’s ultimatum to Netanyahu, far-right leader issues his own demands to PM, including for military to establish a ‘permanent presence in the entire Gaza Strip’

Israel should not shy away from launching a military takeover of southern Lebanon if Hezbollah does not withdraw from the border, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich declared Sunday, becoming the latest minister to publicly challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the handling of the conflict on Israel’s northern and southern borders.

Speaking at a faction meeting of his far-right Religious Zionism party held, unusually, in northern Israel, Smotrich demanded that Netanyahu make a clear announcement of a plan to deal with the Iran-backed terror group, saying that if necessary, Hezbollah must be dealt with through military action.

Rafah crossing closed

Israel took over the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt last week, in order to make sure that Hamas could not smuggle in weapons through that route, and also to ensure that Hamas would not hijack aid shipments just after they came into Gaza. The Egyptians, however, displeased at the IDF’s move, decided to retaliate by preventing aid trucks from moving through the Rafah Crossing into Gaza altogether. What’s more, they rejected Israel’s request to let those aid trucks enter Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing further north. More on this move that will only harm Gazans, and for which Egypt alone is responsible — but for which Israel is being blamed — can be found here: “Palestinian ‘strategist’ praises Egypt for blocking aid to Gaza,” Elder of Ziyon, May 14, 2024:

The street’s way of doing politics, tagging slogans on the walls, distributing leaflets, burning tires and garbage dumpster, and setting flags and effigies of figures you don’t like on fire has replaced the traditional, admittedly tiresome, debates, discussions, essay writings, and what in the 1960s protests were called “teach-ins”.

• They introduce themselves as university students, young scholars who are supposedly training to become the nation’s political guides and mentors.

• However, you soon found out that their understanding of political issues, including the current war in Gaza, is a reflection more of street politics than academic methods. In other words, the street, and its politique de la rue in French, have invaded the university or at least part of it that wears the label of “humanities”, a witches’ brew of once academic subjects corrupted by ideology.

Peloni: Szijjártó provides great clarity about both the failure and consequences of the Sanctions raised against Russia.

Sundance | Conservative Treehouse | May 16, 2024

This entire hour conversation with Péter Szijjártó is a ninja level linguistic evisceration of the lies, fraud and media spin that form the epicenter of the “great pretending” era. It really is worth watching all of it.

However, for the sake of time and focused attention, I have prompted the interview to the 18:00 point where Hungarian Minister Szijjártó, the Hungarian equivalent of our Secretary of State, talks about the great Western con job surrounding the Russian sanctions.

Peloni:  Mike provides some much needed clarity to push back against Gantz’ notion an international alliance will be either interested or able to face down the remaining elements of Hamas left in the wake of any abandonment of the war to destroy them.  Gantz’ proposal to alter the war aims is utter folly founded upon the aspirations of an Iranian allied US administration which has no interest in securing Israel’s future, but which has all along been greatly interested in securing Iran’s future and that of its proxies.  Gantz must leave the govt, and allow an Israeli centric policy, and not America centric one, to guide the future of the Jewish state.

I omitted Mike’s retelling of the back and forth commentary which can be read in full in the articles posted from Haaretz and INN.

Dramatic. Minister Gantz issues an ultimatum to Netanyahu: develop a strategy designed to achieve six goals by June 8, or he will resign. If this wasn’t directly coordinated with the White House, it seeks to draft off of American policy.

Peloni:  Interesting war of words erupt between Gantz and Netanyahu as it appears that the American allies in the Israeli govt are pulling out all stops in trying their best to undermine Netanyahu’s govt, even as Israeli soldiers are dying in the pursuit of victory over Hamas.

Ever since October 7, we’ve gotten a steady stream of reminders of just how different life in Israel can be from the rest of the West. No matter how European the architecture or how Americanized its politics have become, Israel’s experience has always been different from that of its allies in crucial ways.

To ensure the continuation of the American Republic will require not only support for President Trump but also extraordinary vigilance by the American people through the election and its aftermath.

By James E. Fanell and Bradley A. Thayer, AMERICAN GREATNESS  18 May 20204

It has been decades in the making, but the country is now on the precipice between its traditional ideology of political liberalism and a path that will lead, far sooner than Americans might think, to totalitarianism. The historical bulwarks of Americanism and the American political system—government of the people, freedom, and liberty—have been deliberately eroded. A citizenry steeped in republican virtue, cognizant of the political ideas and principles that made America a lasting and strong constitutional republic, and knowledgeable about the duties and obligations of American citizenship have been under daily assault for years from the foreign ideology of communism. That odious ideology has operated under synonyms such as “progressivism,” “multiculturalism,” or DEI to make its poison more palatable to American audiences.

Since the failed peace process began in 1993, the General Staff became a stakeholder in the success of its “partner,” the Palestinian Authority.

Caroline Glick | JNS | May 17, 2024

There was a comical aspect to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s press appearance on Wednesday night. With his best imitation of Patton, he sternly demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu abandon Israel’s war aims and instead adopt America’s, which happen to be Hamas’s war aims as well.

“I urge Prime Minister Netanyahu to make this decision and proclaim that Israel will not impose civil rule on the Gaza Strip; that there will be no Israel military government in the Gaza Strip. And that a [Palestinian] civilian alternative to Hamas in Gaza will be advanced immediately.”
