As in the United States, Israel’s mainstream media outlets favor the political left. That’s why they’re trying to crush “Channel 14,” which favors Netanyahu and judicial reform.

By Jonathan S. Tobin, INN<

As different as the United States and Israel are, the events of the last several months have shown that the political and media cultures of the two nations are growing more and more alike. Nothing demonstrates that better than the current campaign to silence Israeli television’s Channel 14.

A free and politically diverse press is essential to democracy. Thomas Jefferson famously wrote that if given the choice between, “a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

‘Haredi parties have never submitted a bill on religious matters, other than when Supreme Court forced Knesset to intervene,’ Min. Malkieli says.

Israel National News    Aug 14, 2023, 3:53 PM

Religious Affairs Minister Michael Malkieli (Shas) has said that the criticism constantly leveled at the haredi community is rooted in the haredi parties’ support of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“I don’t remember periods in which we were not fried, other than if we joined a left-wing government. With them, the media would not attack us, because it’s all about ‘anyone other than Netanyahu,'” Malkieli told Kol Hai Radio.

Seems like every day, someone is finding new, fun types of election fraud. This is not accidental — this is exactly how industrial, at-scale, organized fraud is uncovered. We call it spiraling to accuracy.

When our team was hired by State Farm, GEICO, USAA, and other top insurers to stop organized auto fraud rings, we found the easy stuff fast — the equivalent of phantom voters.

Uri, Weiss. It uncovers the entire milieu of oligarchs psychopaths who are determined to regress us to the medieval times of slavery and despair. They think that this time they will be successful, in their words they own the “science” to be used to usher the era of TRANSHUMANISM, by first reducing the world population, getting rid of undesirables and subjugation of the remaining, by tampering with their DNA, to turn them into obedient sheep. This was their plan, in the words of Claire Edwards:

The Biden administration is trying to “claim credit for something that is years away from being implemented” with its talk about a deal to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, former National Security Council Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz told Newsmax on Sunday.

“There is no deal,” Fleitz, the vice chair of the America First Policy Institute Center for American Security and a Newsmax contributor, commented on “Wake Up America,” adding that if a deal ever would be reached, that would mean Saudi Arabia would have to cut ties with China, and Israel would have to make peace with the Palestinians.

Connecting China, Ukraine, Global Warming, the Trump Indictments & Monetary Theory

By ANDREW BENJAMIN, VIEWS ASKEW   AUG 13, 2023

Monetary theory posits that a change in money supply is a key driver of economic activity. It challenges progressive media theory, whereas everything progressives claim is so, is usually the exact opposite of what is so.

What is so is:

Thirty-three years ago, I stood amid the ivy-covered architecture on the campus of Princeton University and proudly tossed my cap in the air along with my fellow graduating students.

The feeling of elation upon completion of our studies at the august institution, which was founded in 1746 and was the site of a famous battle in 1777 during the American Revolution, was hard to contain. We all felt a sense of accomplishment, and I was proud to call myself a Princetonian.

Representative of haredi parties says Supreme Court always rules against the haredim, so Override Clause must be for more than Draft Law.

Israel National News

Netanyahu, Goldknopf, and DeriYonatan Sindel/Flash90. 

A senior coalition member claimed that the haredi parties have doubled down on their demand for the passage of a full override clause during recent talks between coalition parties and have no intention of compromising on the issue, Israel Hayom reported.<

The haredi parties are divided between the Ashkenazi United Torah Judaism party, led by Yitzhak Goldknopf, and the Sehardic Shas party, led by Aryeh Deri. UTJ is considered the more hardline of the two parties, while Shas is considered the more pragmatic party.

Like all liberal democracies, Israel needs a strong court and independent judges who will guard the rule of law, good governance, and civil and human rights.

In the past decades, the Supreme Court has empowered itself in a manner that completely violates the balance between government branches. In a series of decisions, the Supreme Court has changed the rules of the game and arrogated for itself jurisdiction which it was not given, some of these being exceptional by international standards. Against the basic concept of rule of law according to which the Court judges according to the rules set by the legislature, the Israeli Supreme Court has designed its own rules, and unilaterally taken unauthorized power, without any public legitimacy. In parallel, the Court has adopted the position that “everything is justiciable”, transforming itself into the sole adjudicator in almost all public and political controversies, large or small. The Court has interfered in issues of foreign policy, security, economic policy, and even who will receive the Israel Prize.

Judicial overreach has undermined the live-and-let-live agreements that underpin Israeli society. 

By Daniella Ashkenazy, INN Aug 11, 2023,

Most criticism of the proposed Israeli judicial reforms has focused on the Israeli Supreme Court’s overreach regarding judicial review of the decision-making of the executive and the legislature. Little has been said about the negative impact of the Court’s HaKol Shafit—everything is judicable—doctrine in other domains.

This doctrine was first applied in the 1990s by then-Chief Justice Aharon Barak. As a result of it, the Court rules annually on some 2,100 petitions regarding every aspect of life in Israel. In fact, the Court often rules on issues best governed by social dynamics—the province of psychology, sociology and political science—not the law. For example, in many aspects of religion in the public sphere.

David, I am certain that had there been a referendum on the issue, the vast majority of Israelis would vote in favor of the reforms. In my mind, a military coup d’etat is taking place now in Israel, when the head of the air force says that readiness has been compromised because reserve pilots refuse to fly. Many are talking about the country falling apart and splitting physically. If it happens, let them take the air force with them, providing they spray these poisonous chemtrails only over their people.

the corporate media and entire deep-state biomedical security complex

After bashing it for three years and watching millions die, FDA now admits doctors had every right to prescribe ivermectin as a legitimate treatment for Covid-19

LEO HOHMANN

Just how corrupt is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the entire biomedical security state apparatus that peddled fear of Covid and said the only hope of defeating the virus was to wait for a new technologically advanced “vaccine” — the same “vaccine” that proved unsafe and ineffective?

We are talking about a corruption that is beyond the capacity of many Americans to comprehend.

We need an American Leo Amery to stand up

Britain slept in the 1930s as an inevitable war with Hitler loomed.

A lonely Winston Churchill had only a few courageous partners to oppose the appeasement and incompetence of his conservative colleague Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.

One of the most stalwart truth-tellers was a now little remembered politico and public servant Leo Amery, a polymath and conservative member of Parliament.

Washington reached a deal with Tehran on Thursday to release five Iranian Americans, whom the Islamic Republic detained evidently on trumped-up charges. In exchange for the five being released to house arrest, the United States freed up $6 billion worth of Iranian oil and released Iranian prisoners.
