Judea-Samaria sovereignty activists ignore WHO Pandemic Treaty threat to Israel as sovereign state – Commentary  

T. Belman. Considering how Bibi was a lapdog for WHO and Pfizer during the Covid pandemic, his acceptance of this loss of  sovereignty greatly concerns me.

WHO director-general can ‘just declare pandemic with no standards, then countries around world have to obey’

by

“Negotiations for new rules for dealing with pandemics are currently underway at the World Health Organization (WHO). The organization’s 194 member countries, including Israel, plan on adopting a legally binding agreement by May 2024. The updated rules will give the WHO the ability to declare a pandemic, even against the wishes of member states.”

Our eternal battle for Zion  

Jew-hatred is racist, irrational and homicidal.Jews neither provoke nor deserve.It is the only acceptable prejudice of anti-racists. 

By Prof. Phyllis Chesler, INN 7.8.23

I’m a Jew, a feminist, an author, and an academic. I believe in universal human rights. I am not a multi-cultural relativist. I do not respect the postcolonial academy, which brought about the palestinianization of intellectual reality, and which projected Islam’s apartheid practices onto Israel. I oppose the consequent worship of victim status, identity politics and the balkanization of identity.

Review: “The Soros Agenda” by Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld  

 By Kenneth Abramowitz, THE JEWISH VOICE

This remarkable book on “The Soros Agenda” by Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld focuses on the challenges emanating from the Globalists/progressive cabal. Globalists strive for a World government managed by “experts” and deep thinkers who could solve the world’s problems, supposedly to everybody’s benefit. Globalists do not believe in or respect sovereign nations, claiming such views are too self-centered and provincial. Globalists also do not respect religions. Instead, they work to create “universal” laws that would serve to replace God with themselves as the Lords of the universe.

Israel’s priorities in the Eastern Mediterranean: The tango with Turkey has limits  

Partnership with Greece and Cyprus is a game changer, giving Israel vital strategic depth during a conflict. 

By Col. (Res.) Dr. Eran Lerman, JISS         Aug 9, 2023,)

Eli Cohen’s Visit to Greece as an Indication of Israel’s Priorities

The convincing win by Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ Nea Dimokratia (ND, New Democracy) center-right party in the second round of the Greek parliamentary elections on June 25 stabilizes the political scene in Athens. Since the Greek constitutional system significantly rewards the party with the most votes in a second round, ND now has an absolute majority of 158 out of 300 in parliament. In effect, it completes a cycle of elections in key Eastern Mediterranean nations, confirming experienced political figures in office:

U.S. National Security Council said no framework has been agreed upon, despite the Wall Street Journal reporting that the deal could happen within one year

By Amir Tibon AND Ben Samuels, HAARETZ

On Wednesday, the Wall Street journal reported that U.S. officials said Israel will make concessions to the Palestinians in order to facilitate the agreement. Those same officials estimated that a normalization deal between the two countries can be reached within nine to 12 months, though the report adds that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is in no rush to reach a deal.

A NEW MIDDLE EAST IS DAWNING  

Mudar Zahran tweeted Aug 9th

#Jordan is the alpha and the omega. Jordan is the key to the entire matrix that has been enslaving us, humans, on this planet. Therefore, #Jordan‘s kinglet had enjoyed absolute protection from the globalists, because his fall will lead to the fall of all of the cabal’s puppets in the entire Middle East region… Today, the cabal is unable to protect itself, hence, the kinglet is just the remnants of a filthy period that will soon be thrown into the cesspool of the past…..

@KingAbdullahII   you are so done bud.

Israel isn’t suffering a constitutional crisis, but an identity crisis – opinion  

T. Belman. At least fifty years ago I read Israelis and Jews. Israel’s Jews were asked whether they see themselves as Israelis or Jews. The division which existed then, exists today.

It is hard to imagine both gr0ups coming together on a common vision. Perhaps Israel should be divided into two areas, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Tel Aviv would include the coastal region and Jerusalem would be the rest. Tel Aviv would be a liberal democracy or what ever they decide and Jerusalem would be as Jewish as it wants. The government of Israel would levy taxes on both groups and will be responsible for defence and national infrastructure and whatever other duties both sides gave it.

Of course both sides would fight over the budget. Tel Aviv would be much richer and Jerusalem much needier.

As we stand in 2023, a clear, unified vision for Israel’s Jewish inhabitants has yet to emerge. Instead, the existing government has given rise to two sharply contrasting visions

David Ben-Gurion (credit: GPO)

We stand witness today to an escalating identity crisis in Israel, one that threatens to cascade into a full-fledged constitutional dilemma. This crisis transcends the realms of mere political turbulence or potential judicial transformations. It dives deep into the ideological heart of the nation, reflecting a divide between two considerable Jewish factions with divergent visions of what Israel should be.

Give Saudi peace a chance  

Chances for a Saudi-Israeli deal are high, the risks manageable, and the value overwhelming. The doubters and naysayers, as well as those who actively are trying to sabotage such an agreement, are wrong.

By  David M. Weinberg, ISRAEL HAYOM 6.8.23

It is important to refute the many arguments being bandied about against a peace deal involving Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United States.

I think that the doubters and naysayers, as well as those who actively are trying to sabotage such an agreement, are wrong. Wrong about the chances for a deal (I think they are high), wrong about the risks of a deal (much lower than feared), and wrong about the worth of a peace breakthrough (much higher than imagined).

NYT Collaborating with State Government to Target Orthodox Jews  

The New York Times collaborated with the New York State government to produce its now-infamous series of stories targeting Orthodox Jewish schools, according to over 800 pages of emails obtained by Breitbart News.

By EMMA-JO MORRIS, BREITBART

The Times’ Eliza Shapiro — self-described “serious reporter who doesn’t pull punches” — is seen in the massive volume of communications, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, discussing with the New York State Education Department how “we” can craft comment for the first story launching the Times’ series of articles targeting yeshivas, and giving the government almost a full business-week longer than the schools to comment. Emails also show she worked with the government to direct blame for the Times’ allegations, and coordinated timing on publishing with a vote to regulate the religious schools.

Trump Indictment Is a Mockery of Common Sense  

Attempting to criminalize Trump’s dispute of the election could stunt healthy political dissent

By 

At the end of the classic independent film Reservoir Dogs, the characters end up in a Mexican standoff. The criminal gang’s ringleader, Joe, insists that Mr. Orange is working with the police, even though he is dying on the floor, having been shot during a failed jewelry store heist. Mr. White – the crooks use aliases – insists that Joe is wrong. Guns get drawn. Mr. White demands some proof for Joe’s claim about Mr. Orange. Joe angrily responds, “You don’t need proof when you have instinct!” You can watch the (admittedly brutal) scene here.
