A Potential Palestinian State: Will It Be an Ally or Enemy of the United States?  

Yoram Ettinger | EMET | March 6, 2024

After the worst massacre of Jews on a single day since the Holocaust, many members of the international community have arrived at a single-factor conclusion of how to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, combined with grandiose plans of how to finally bring peace to the Middle East: the rewarding of this violence with the creation of a contiguous Palestinian state, stretching from Judea and Samaria, (the West Bank) through Gaza. The “dusting off” of this solution, which has been tried, stretches back to the 1937 Peel Commission, the 1947 UN Partition Plan, the 1967 Khartoum Conference, the Oslo Accords of 1993, the Roadmap for Peace in 2002, and the Gaza Withdrawal of 2005.

Are Israelis Taking a Page from King Herod’s Book?  

Peloni: Highly recommended video. An intriguing discussion of Israel’s efforts to survive the current intrigues and interests of the latest empire trying to master the Levant.

Gadi Taub, Mike Doran & Tony Badran | TABLET | March 5, 2024

King Herod was a master at using the Roman Empire in order to outmaneuver domestic opposition. But the Romans were no less shrewd at using him. The result was, eventually, the demise of Jewish independence in the land of Israel. Is the Israeli opposition attempting the same kind of move by inviting American intervention in domestic politics? Mike, Gadi and Tablet Magazine’s News Editor Tony Badran discuss Gantz’s visit to Washington in light of Tony’s brilliant analysis of the parallels and differences between King Herod’s time and our own.

A number of counterattacks by the Ukrainians, in some cases using reserve forces, have taken place along the line of contact. While reports are not yet complete, it appears that all the Ukrainian attempts to roll back Russian gains have failed, with the possible exception of Robotyne.

Meanwhile the Russians have either taken or will soon take a number of villages including  Ivaniska, Bilohorivka, Berdichev, Pobjeda and Novomikhailovka.

Politics as Lawfare  

By El Gato Malo, BROWNSTONE                                      5 March 2024

There is a wonderful quote from noted scary fascist (back when fascism was still a vogue and “the coming thing”) Oscar Benavides who was president of Peru from 1933-39. it’s as apposite as ever today:

To my friends, everything; to my enemies, the law.

It really says it all, doesn’t it?

Israel Must Preempt Hezbollah  

by Jonathan Spyer, JNS    March 5, 2024

https://www.meforum.org/65635/israel-must-preempt-hezbollah

The IDF has registered significant tactical successes in the fighting since Oct. 7. Yet, the strategic scoreboard currently favors Iran.

When I was resident in northern Iraq in the summer of 2019, an Iranian acquaintance told me that in understanding the regional strategy of his country, I should bear in mind that while “other nations will kill you with iron, the Iranians will kill you with cotton.” The phrase stayed with me. I later learned that it is a famous Persian expression. In the context in which we discussed it, my friend wanted me to grasp the subtle, patient and slow moving nature of Iranian strategy in the Middle East. He also wanted me not to confuse patience with an absence of lethal seriousness of purpose.

Indeed! But we are gearing up for increased difficulties with the beginning of Ramadan on March 10. Ramadan: the “holy” Muslim month that has a long-standing tradition of violence against Jews.

COVID Cover-Up: Gov’t ‘Forced’ COVID Vaccines To Protect Bioweapons Industry  

Harvey Risch, M.D., Ph.D., senior research scientist in epidemiology specializing in chronic diseases at the Yale University School of Public Health, on Monday provided compelling testimony on what he believes accounts for the “crushingly obsessive push to COVID-vaccinate every living person on the planet.”

FBI hunts for suspected Iranian assassin targeting Trump-era officials  

By Jay Solomon, SEMAFOR                                                4 March 2024

Federal Bureau of Investigation – public handout

The U.S. government is intensifying a manhunt for an Iranian intelligence operative who the Federal Bureau of Investigation believes has been plotting to assassinate current and former American officials, including one-time Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The FBI’s Miami field office on Friday issued a public alert seeking information on Majid Dastjani Farahani, a suspected member of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, who the Bureau alleged has been recruiting “individuals for operations in the U.S., to include lethal targeting of current/former USG officials.”

The so-called far right are really far left  

By Nigel Drake, THE CONSERVATIVE WOMAN       5 March 2024

IN HIS address to the nation on Friday, Rishi Sunak said: ‘Islamist extremists and the far right feed off and embolden each other.’ This casual reference to ‘far-right extremists’ is made again and again, almost always as some sort of leavening to placate all those people worried about right-wing extremists who, so the narrative runs, are lurking in the shadows, ready to revisit the horrors of The Third Reich upon us. But there is a problem. Not only is there, as Douglas Murray once remarked, a bit of a supply side shortage when it comes to right wing extremism, there is no such thing as the far right in politics.

Revisiting China: did a Pandemic really start in Wuhan?  

E. Rowell:  Think about these data when the WHO declares its next “pandemic.”

By Thomas Verduyn, PANDA UNCUT                     28 February 2024

Nearly four years ago, on 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared that “Covid-19 could be characterised as a pandemic.” The series of events leading up to this remarkable statement began only ten weeks earlier (31 December 2019) when the WHO “picked up media reports of … a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan.”

Solving the ‘Metro’ complex  

By Mordechai Ben-Menachem   11-03-2024
(Prepared for Israel News Talk Radio (oral presentation) and Israpundit (written presentation)

As is well known, the Gaza Strip is riddled with a vast complex of underground facilities, tunnels, bunkers, command centres and more. Many, if not most of these are interconnected as a complex network; some have rail lines, electricity and sewage facilities. The network consists of between 500 – 800 kilometres of tunnels, with thousands of peers (access points) from within virtually every United Nations / UNWRA facility, schools, clinics, kindergartens and in some areas, virtually every home.

No need to apologize: Hamas are indeed the New Nazis  

The PalestiNazis, if we are to put this in a nutshell, aspire to complete what the Nazis failed to do – the destruction of the Jewish people. The time has come for us to finally take them seriously and simply believe them, that they fully intend to do what they say. As now, it is not only their words that speak for themselves, but their actions too.

Palestinian rioters burn a Star of David with Swastika in Samaria | Screenshot: Social media

“Hitler” – the preacher Massoud Rian once informed his audience – “was sent by Allah to punish the Jews for their bad behavior… and the Jews well and truly deserve their punishment.” Rian delivered his inflammatory filth as part of the “enlightened” Jewish-Arab struggle against the demolition of the illegal construction site of Khan al-Ahmar, not far from the location of the fatal terrorist attack perpetrated by three PalestiNazis near the town of Ma’ale Adumim just last week. His “illuminating” words were broadcast live on Palestinian TV.
