BBC interviewer stuns Bennett: Israeli forces are happy to kill children  

T. Belman.  Bennett has proven himself adept at handling outrageous interviews. The interviewer is blatantly trying to demonize Israel she kept repeating that the Israel kept killing children and kept repeating condemnations of Israel.

The US as usual, virtue signalled, by saying, “It is imperative to take all possible precautions to prevent the loss of civilian lives,” The US knows there is no need to remind Israel to avoid harm to civilians. Israel has always shown it self to take greater precaution, even more than the law requires, then any other country in the world, including the US, who, I now read, are sending banned cluster bombs to Ukraine. The laws of war do not impose such a standard on combatants.

Bomb Gaza before invading

The law proscribes targeting civilians, not harming them

Former PM responds to BBC interviewer who asserted that the IDF is happy to kill children: We’re doing the right thing, they’re killing civilians.

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday gave an interview to the BBC, during which the interviewer stunned him by claiming that “the Israeli forces are happy to kill children”.
“You know, it’s quite remarkable that you’d say that, because they are killing us,” Bennett replied. “Now, if there’s a 17-year-old Palestinian that’s shooting on your family, what is he?”

Missionaries in Jerusalem  

T. Belman.  I happened to sit next to one such missionary at the King David. He was not the only such person there. . He proudly introduced himself as Jew who found Jesus 30 years ago. I told him that it is his right to switch religions but I didn’t want to hear about it. Needless to say that ended the conversation. I am surprised to learn that there are in excess of 30,000 of them in Jerusalem

Arieh King referred them as “Messianic Jews”. For my part they no longer have the right to be called Jews.

The focus of missionary activity in Israel, although forbidden by law, is Jerusalem. 

By Adina Kutnicki, INN 5.7.23

In the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes (one of the Ketuvim), Kohelet in Hebrew, many pearls of wisdom from King Solomon are to be found. For time immemorial.

One such gem is as relevant today, as it was when composed.

“What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.”

UN and Arabs Whitewash Atrocities of Bashar Assad, Instead Blame – Guess Who?

  • The League of Arab States (LAS), which represents 22 member countries, has spent several decades issuing statements of condemnation against Israel. Each time Israel launches a counterterrorism operation in response to Palestinian terrorism, including rockets fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel and shooting, stabbing and car-ramming attacks, it is denounced.

A Line of Defense Against Mail-in Ballot Fraud  

By Jay Valentine, AM THINKER

One of the best things about a segment on the War Room, after virtually meeting Steve Bannon, is the incoming mail two days later.

The RNC, the Trump Campaign, almost every Republican state party chairperson believes the road to 2024 electoral victory is to “out-ballot-harvest the left.” It’s hard to argue with absolute nonsense.  To the rescue, however, comes a retired mail carrier who sent the following message:

Message: I am a retired mail man.

I just saw your War Room interview.
I now know where the mules got their ballots. Straight from the post office in returned/undeliverable mail.
While I have zero proof of where they ended up, I had those ballots you were talking about in my mail bag with wrong addresses or lacking apartment numbers or even people that moved and still had ballots delivered to their old apartment.
We put those ballots in a basket and someone came by and picked them up.
Hundreds or even thousands of ballots.
Who picked them up, where did they go?
Now we know why signature match was removed…
Someone needs to investigate the post office and their democratic union run activities.

Is Nuclear War Inevitable?  

By Alexander G. Markovsky, AM THINKER June 29, 2023

During Napoleon’s War of 1812, the Russian officers’ sabers were adorned an inscription, “Do not draw out without need. Do not put it back without glory!”

Whether Putin has drawn out his saber without the need may be debatable, but the geopolitical reality is that he will not put it back without glory, whatever the cost. Putin, who revived Russia, and rebuilt its economy from the ruins of the collapsed Soviet Union, cannot permit his odyssey to end in the country’s dissolution.

France burns and multiculturalists yawn  

T. Belman. Muslims are 11% of the French population and about 21% of the Israeli population (Excluding the Muslims in A and B.). Israel must be doing something right because the Israeli Arabs have no history of such rioting except for one time, a couple of years ago. But such riots pale in comparison.

Denial by the ruling classes and the cultural leftism that dominates in the media are largely responsible for the flames in France. Op-ed

July 3, 2023 7:21 PM

Those who warned Europe for years that this would happen have the feeling of a person sitting with his legs crossed, a cat on his knees, a bag of popcorn – and the view from the terrace of the burning city, living out his prophecies..

There are many images to remember of a new night of violence in France. There is the looting of an armory in the heart of Marseille, during which numerous pistols were stolen. Not a good sign for the future.

And a post office hit by a giant explosion in Lyon. And, in the same city, a hooded man shooting through the houses of the Duchère district with a Kalashnikov.

Exiled former chief rabbi of Moscow talks about the state of Russian Jewry  

I went to sleep in Moscow and woke up in Tehran, Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt says.

By AMICHAI STEIN, jns

For 29 years, Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt was the chief rabbi of Moscow. But one-and-a-half years ago, everything changed. He left Russia with his family in March 2022, a few weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine.

“After Russia invaded Ukraine, there was an attempt at the beginning of the war to force religious leaders to support the war,” Goldschmidt tells JNS. “I and others believed that we should not support the war. And we concluded that we must not be silent.

 “I said, in a dramatic way, that I went to sleep in Moscow and woke up in Tehran,” the rabbi says. “I realized that I see no future for the Jewish community in the current structure of Russia, when just for calling the war a war (and not a ‘special military operation’), you can get 15 years in prison.”

Europe: The La La Land of Immigration  

“Free Derry” is a famous area that declared itself “autonomous” in Northern Ireland’s second city between 1969 and 1972. The term originates from the writing painted on the wall of a building: “You are now entering Free Derry”. The name derives from its status as a “closed” area (no-go area) to British forces (British and Protestants called it Londonderry).

Who would have thought, fifty years later, that there would be other “no-go areas” in Europe?

The end of the world is just the beginning…  

TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS   JUL 3, 2023

Colonel MacGregor is a friend to General Flynn and often appears with Donald Trump Jr. He recently did a podcast that I think is important for people to hear. He is a smart, practical military man and just reaffirmed some of my predictions about BRICS, a global digital currency and the NWO from 18 months ago.

With France burning, it’s time to look at the big picture again and the GREAT RESET’s atheist & demonic plan to burn down the world, remove the “deplorables” -rebuild it with private investment and control us all with digital surveillance, a One World Order currency and a One World Order social media.

The Palestinian Authority is no longer viable  

The PA’s failure to control its territory has forced Israel to make increasingly frequent raids on PA territory in order to try and root out the terrorists taking refuge there. The current security situation is untenable, which is one of the reasons the PA has to go.

 By  Jason Shvili, ISRAEL HAYOM 07-02-2023 09:47

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel needs the Palestinian Authority. Sorry, Mr. Prime Minister, but I respectfully disagree. And I don’t disagree with Bibi too often.

The PA is an epic failure. It doesn’t work for the Palestinians and it sure as hell doesn’t work for Israel. The PA was created by the Oslo Accords to be an interim authority for the Palestinian autonomous areas established by the agreements. Many assumed an independent Palestinian state would eventually replace it, even though the Oslo Accords never guaranteed statehood for the Palestinians.

In U-turn, Netanyahu said to reassure ministers override clause has not been shelved  

Days after telling Wall Street Journal he ‘threw out’ controversial bill, PM reportedly tells fuming cabinet behind closed doors that softened version of legislation could return

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told members of his cabinet on Sunday that despite recent comments he made to international media, he has not fully backed away from passing some form of “override clause.”

In closed-door comments, Netanyahu reassured some ministers that he still supports a watered-down version of such legislation, but not an unlimited and all-encompassing bill as was initially proposed, according to a report Sunday by the Walla news site.

Israel gave US heads up on Jenin raid, pledged limited scale  

T. Belman.  Why does Israel give the US notice of such operations and why promise to not go further. Probably we have committed ourselves to do so.   Too Bad.

Because the operation had been defined as a small-scale incursion, there was no need to convene the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet and get a green light, allowing the exact timing of the operation to be kept under wraps until the forces were already on their way.

By  Shirit Avitan Cohen, TOI 07-03-2023 16:31

Israel told the US about Monday’s Jenin operation a week in advance, Israel Hayom has learned. Moreover, it made sure to explain to officials in Washington that the operation would be limited to Jenin in order to rout the terrorist hotbeds there.

This is the reason the US has yet to condemn the IDF activity. Israel has also pledged to carry out the operation in a surgical manner – similar to past raids – to avoid harming noncombatants as much as possible.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Monday afternoon said the Israeli army’s major operation in the West Bank city of Jenin was “progressing as planned,” according to remarks issued by his office.

“In the past few hours, we dealt a heavy blow to the terror organizations in Jenin and managed to record impressive operational achievements,” Gallant said following an assessment he held with military chief Lt. Gen Herzi Halevi and other senior officers.

He said the troops would “receive full support to do whatever is necessary and to operate on the ground and in the air, in order to protect the citizens of Israel and preserve full freedom of action throughout [the West Bank].”

FRANCE IS BURNING: The Leftist-Islamic Alliance Makes Its Move In France  

By  – on 

While the Leftist-Islamic alliance is cracking elsewhere due to the Left’s determination to normalize gender delusions and fantasies and sexualize children, in France, it has the whole country aflame, and could conceivably bring about the end of the Republic. What is happening now in France was entirely foreseeable, but few dared foresee it, for fear of being called “racist,” “Islamophobic,” and “far right.” Once again those who have been smeared with such terms turn out to have been right all along.

Israel reignites debate on how much natural gas to sell abroad  

JERUSALEM, June 27 (Reuters) – Israel should urgently examine how much natural gas the country should export to make sure it keeps enough for itself, a senior official at Israel’s Finance Ministry said in a letter seen by Reuters.

The country is expected to roughly double its gas output over the coming years and is weeks away from a highly-anticipated licensing round for new oil and gas exploration blocks offshore Israel.
