IDF in ‘intensive training’ at Lebanon border  

T. Belman. I believe that, Israel will attack Hezbollah in about 2 or 3 weeks for the following reasons:

  1. – the IDF has been training for it
  2. – diplomacy wont get Hezbollah to pullback
  3. – 80,000 Israelies have left their homes in northern Israel and need to return.
  4. – The IDF is already mobilized,
  5. – US war ships are in the Mediterranean

Troops are preparing for a possible war with Hezbollah.

The Israel Defense Forces is preparing in northern Israel for a possible confrontation with the Hezbollah terrorist group.

Last week, soldiers from the IDF’s 226th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade, aka the Northern Brigade, and combat engineering forces performed training exercises focused on combat “in densely populated urban areas, winter weather conditions, and in the northern terrain,” the IDF said on Saturday.

BREAKING–Peer Reviewed Publication Calls for Global Moratorium on COVID-19 Vaccination  

Peloni:  The peer reviewed paper discussed by McCullough and Mead was an important accomplishment, and hopefully will have a penetrating effect on those who have still failed to accept the findings discussed in this paper.  The full paper can be found HERE

The full abstract is attached below McCullough’s article.

Lead Author Explains Why mRNA Should Never Have Been Authorized for Human Use

By Peter McCullough, Courageous Discourse  January 28, 2024

Click on Photo for Interview

I have been struck by the plethora of papers that disclose horrific, serious adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination including hospitalization and death, yet somewhere in the paper the authors insert a gratuitous promotion such as “vaccination has saved millions of lives” or “the benefits of vaccination still outweigh the risks.” These phrases come with evidence or support, seem out of place, and I wonder if they are inserted to gain institutional approval for submission or by design are used to get past biased editorial boards and reviewers who want to keep the false “safe and effective” narrative flowing in the medical literature.

VERY GOOD NEWS ISRAEL  

By Michael Ordman, VGNI  JAN 27/23

Israel finally welcomed its first sustained friendly winter rains, marking Tu b’Shevat – the Jewish New Year for Trees. Recent positive news was full of examples of support for Israel from its friends both local and international.

IDF soldiers in restaurants get their meals paid for by friendly owners or other customers. They are given flowers before going home from Gaza to present to their spouses. And two soldiers serving together in Gaza became even better friends when they met in the hospital maternity ward where their wives were about to give birth.  Israel’s dairy farms on the Gaza border are being maintained by foreign students studying at Israeli universities who showed their friendship by remaining in Israel after Oct 7. And Israel’s overseas friends have donated everything from money, to essentials, ambulances, and even the boots on soldiers’ feet.

Civilian Deaths in Gaza: Relatively Low.  

by Alan M. Dershowitz, GATESTONE  •  January 28, 2024 at 5:00 am

  • Critics of Israel almost never cite comparable data from other military encounters. This omission creates the false impression that the civilian death tolls in Gaza are among the highest in history, when they are in fact among the lowest.
  • The New York Times’ conclusion that the new data suggests that it is “wrong to accuse [Israel] of wanting to maximize civilian deaths” is highly relevant to the false charges of genocide that are being considered by the International Court of Justice.

Israel informs Egypt it will send troops to Gaza’s Rafah  

This comes amid reports that the tense relationship between Israel and Egypt is on the verge of collapse following weeks of a ‘deepening chill’ amid the IDF’s war on Hamas.

Israel informed Egypt on Saturday evening of its intention to send troops into Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor, despite Egypt’s firm opposition to such a decision, Maariv reported, citing Sky News Arabia.

According to the report, Egypt rejected the request.

Head of the State Information Services (SIS) Diaa Rashwan said earlier this week, “It must be strictly emphasized that any Israeli move in this direction will lead to a serious threat to Egyptian-Israeli relations.”

The Israeli-American Plan to Overthrow Netanyahu  

Episode 9: Gadi and Mike discuss the maneuvering against Bibi, and how the Biden administration now plans to sell the Iran deal to American Jews.

by Michael Doran and Gadi Taub, TABLET Jan 25

It seems like former IDF chief of staff, and member of the war cabinet, General Gadi Eisenkot, has been chosen by the anti-Bibi forces as the battering ram with which to take down Netanyahu—with American assistance.

Mike and Gadi discuss how the left and the right in Israel view Eisenkot’s recent maneuvering in very different terms, and for different reasons. The right views it as pure cynicism, while the adherents of the two-state solution have come to think – or so Gadi believes – that Israel should be prevented from winning this war, so that it becomes sufficiently chastened, and Bibi-free, to allow the Biden administration to impose the solution favored by the left, but which the majority of Israelis have clearly rejected.

Also on this episode: Mike explains how the Biden administration has tricked Israelis and American Jews into thinking the disastrous “regional integration” policy (i.e. the appeasement of Iran) is somehow in Israel’s interest. Here’s a clue: Saudi Arabia.

Israel’s isolated generals  

The Israeli public has made clear that it opposes cutting a deal for the hostages that will enable Hamas to survive the war. Its leaders should listen.

Caroline Glick, JNS  (January 26, 2024 / JNS)


Shortly after Hamas’s Oct. 7 invasion of Israel, its sadistic massacre of 1,200 Israelis and kidnap of 246 men, women and children from southern Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government declared war on Iran’s Palestinian proxy. The government set four war goals: the military eradication of Hamas; the eradication of Hamas’s civilian regime in the Gaza Strip; the return of all the hostages; and the permanent pacification of Gaza to ensure that it will never pose a threat to Israel again.

Almost immediately thereafter, anonymous “senior IDF sources” began grousing to the media about the government’s war goals. “Sources in the General Staff” have been regularly cited advocating for replacing the goals of the war with others that rule out Hamas’s eradication and the permanent pacification of Gaza.

Arab Intelligence warns Hezbollah of potential Israeli operation in Lebanon  

LBC International  2024-01-27

Recent intelligence gathered by major global powers indicates that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with the Israeli army, is prepared to initiate a war against Lebanon. This action hinges on their inability to compel Hezbollah to comply with United Nations Resolution 1701.

LBCI has obtained sources revealing that an unnamed Arab nation has provided intelligence to Hezbollah. This information points towards Tel Aviv’s plans to launch a significant military operation within Lebanon, potentially escalating tensions in the region.

..Speaking at the Ashkelon conference, founder of the Israel Defense and Security Forum Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi laid out what his organization, a right-wing group with a hawkish stance on military and security strategies, believes should be the policies adopted towards Gaza by the government.

Avivi opined that Israel should take control of the Gaza Strip for a lengthy period of time, and also establish settlements there which, he said, would help secure the territory and Israel as a whole.

US Aircraft Carrier to Remain in Mediterranean Near Israel, Officials Say  

Associated Press   December 15, 2023

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier and one other warship to remain in the Mediterranean Sea for several more weeks to maintain a two-carrier presence near Israel as its war with Hamas grinds on, U.S. officials said.

It would be the third time the Ford’s deployment has been extended, underscoring the continued concerns about volatility in the region during Israel’s war in Gaza. Having two U.S. aircraft carriers in the region has been a rarity in recent years.

Do not make light of Pakistan’s attack on Iran  

The Pakistani attack on Iran shattered the myth of the Islamist Regime’s invulnerability.Op-ed.

By Reza Parchizadeh, INN                                              26 January 2024

Pakistan

In reaction to the Revolutionary Guards’ rocket attack on Pakistani territory on January 16, in which Tehran claimed to have targeted separatist Baluchis, Pakistan retaliated on January 18 by bombarding what it said to be Baluchi separatists deep into Iranian territory. As such, Pakistan became the first foreign country to openly attack Iran since the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988.

The attacks, although ostensibly against the opposing Baluchis in the neighboring country, are in fact a reflection of the larger conflict in the Middle East. They closely correlate with the Israeli war against Hamas and Hezbollah as well as the American and British attacks on the Houthis, and can prove the harbinger of a larger invasion of Iran by its age-old enemies. In this article we will see how that might turn out.

The Right Way to Fight Illiberalism

In the past few months, many people were shocked to see the moral rot that has taken hold inside American universities.

For example, they were surprised to learn that:

  • A tenured Columbia professor praised Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israel as “awesome.”
  • At UC–Irvine, a professor said “the Zionists have been exposed for the criminals and bloodthirsty animals that they are. This is a gift from Allah to the world.”

Carbon Dioxide — The Gas of Life  

L, Goudsmit. Man-made climate change is the biggest humanitarian hoax ever perpetrated. Its sole purpose is the imposition of globalism’s managerial Unistate, which awards totalitarian control to the globalist elite. In the first 10 minutes Dr. Happer explains the difference between real pollution and the political fiction of man-made climate change. It is simply Orwellian that anyone still believes this climate hysteria. But Globalism vs. Nationalism is an information war, and disinformation is a weapon of war.
by Dr. Joseph Mercola    January 27, 2024

The invited speaker at the October 3, 2023 meeting of the Old Guard of Summit NJ was Dr. William Happer, professor emeritus of physics at Princeton University. He presented a divergent interpretation of selected climate change data. Dr. Happer questioned current dogma about climate change by presenting scientific data and theory which question the underlying assumptions of conventional wisdom. He knows he is a controversial figure. Dr. Happer worked in various capacities for the Bush and Trump administrations. Ref: https://www.summitoldguard.org Ref: http://www.youtube.com/OldGuardSummit…

Day-after Netanyahu there will be a PA-run Palestinian state, PM says  

T. Belman. Israel is in a stronger position than you might think. Contrary to Blinken’s threat, Israel has no obligation to rebuild Gaza. It is the Americans that want Gaza rebuilt. In fact, it is an imperative for them because they want the Palestinians to remain in Gaza. If Gaza is not rebuilt, the World must take them in.

A movement is afoot in Israel to reesatablish the Jewish settlements that were abandoned in 2005.

This conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is not about the absence of a Palestinian state, but about the existence of the Jewish state, he said.

TOVAH LAZAROFF, JPOST   JANUARY 19, 2024

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu linked his political future with the prevention of a Palestinian Authority-run Palestinian state, precisely as the Biden administration has been pressuring Israel to return to a two-state diplomatic process.

“I can say something about what they call the day after Netanyahu. I do not love to speak of myself in the third person. But those who speak of the day after Netanyahu are talking about the creation of a Palestinian state led by the Palestinian Authority,” the Prime Minister told reporters during a press briefing in Tel Aviv.
