In a chaotic and extraordinary day at the Knesset, an opposition lawmaker was elected to Israel’s judicial appointments panel Wednesday and a coalition lawmaker was not, after an unsuccessful effort by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to torpedo the parliamentary vote and delay it to a later date. Several coalition members broke ranks to back the opposition candidate in the secret ballot.

War in Ukraine appears to be at pivotal point, transitioning from a regional dispute to a global conflagration fully capable of arriving at WWIII and massive loss of life among all parties involved

LEO HOHMANN

Vladimir Putin has warned yet again that if the U.S./NATO continue to escalate the war by sending ever-more controversial weapons to Ukraine, including yesterday’s announcement of tanks firing radioactive depleted-uranium munitions, this could quickly turn into World War III.

Putin said, “there will be no winners, including America” in a Third World War.

Attorney Robert Barnes appeared on a podcast yesterday to give his analysis of the political indictment of President Trump.  It’s a long deconstruction of the Lawfare effort, and contains numerous defenses therein; however, it is a very good encapsulation of the ridiculous issues created by the Biden administration’s efforts to target their political opposition on behalf of the Deep State.  WATCH:

We have written about how the data for the six swing states show enough sovereign voter fraud (the election commission is in on it) and phantoms to overcome any likely Trump vote majority.

Accumulating events indicate that leftists may be helping Trump blow through their fraud firewall.

Coalition expected to back PM’s initiative to delay Knesset vote choosing MKs for judicial selection committee by one month.

By Hezki Baruch, INN     Jun 14, 2023, 12:48 PM

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for the Coalition to push off the election of Knesset representatives for the Judicial Selection Committee Wednesday, delaying the process by one month.

Earlier on Wednesday, Justice Minister Yariv Levin (Likud) reportedly lashed out at Netanyahu over the premier’s plans to back the election of the Opposition’s candidate, Karine Elharrar (Yesh Atid), the committee, demanding that both spots reserved for Knesset members go to the Coalition.

Justice Minister expresses outrage after Netanyahu decides to give Opposition seat on Judicial Selection Committee.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin (Likud) was left fuming over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to back a candidate from the Opposition for one of the two spots reserved for Knesset Members on the powerful Judicial Selection Committee, which appoints Israel’s judges.

The nine-member panel includes two MKs, selected in a secret ballot by the Knesset. Over the past three decades, most governments – though not all – have agreed to reserve one of the two positions for a member of the Opposition.

Left-wing media personality Eldad Yaniv revealed on Monday evening that senior police officers briefed journalists and heads of the left-wing protests during the investigations of alleged criminal offenses of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

Speaking on Channel 14’s “The Patriots,” Yaniv, who is a lawyer by profession, said. “We were briefed…in real time…we were regularly briefed by the senior investigators of the Israel Police. We were informed in real-time what the cases consist of and who is going to shut down state witnesses. Not only journalists were briefed but also prominent activists of left-wing protests. They wanted to recruit us to make a political change here in the country.”

T. Belman. Unfortunately Bibi still refers to Judea and Samaria as “disputed” territories. I totally disagree. Jews are the only people who have a right to it and to whom it has been given.

Unfortunately, he also still calls Biden a good friend of Israel and that the status quo on the Temple Mount is sacrosanct.

For more than 30 years, Benjamin Netanyahu has been the #1 spokesman of the State of Israel. His leadership has always been in the public eye. And nearly, every time, he has masterfully played the Israeli press, the foreign press, Congress, and US President’s like a fiddle. But there have been times that he has made serious mistakes.

Several weeks after the highly questionable 2020 presidential election appeared to put his vice president, Joe Biden, on the path to the White House, Barack Obama told late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert that he would like to have a third term by proxy: “I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front-man or front-woman and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating.” [1]

This is an urgent call to all free people to rise and defeat the Islamic Jihadists marching under the Qur’an’s banner to subdue all non-Muslims.

Civilized people’s values and way of life must be protected against the assault of Jihadists’ savagery born from the primitive culture of long-ago Arabia. There is nothing to negotiate here. Nothing to compromise, for the Jihadists, are on a non-negotiable campaign of Allah. The goal of this mission from Allah is eradicating just about everything that falls under the rubric of human rights.

In March 2020, Dr. Howard Zucker had his name on the infamous ‘Cuomo Death Order’ that has been blamed for the deaths of thousands of nursing residents.

The New York State Health Department’s order stated that “no resident shall be denied re-admission or admission” to a nursing home “solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.” It even banned nursing homes from testing incoming patients to prevent cases from being detected.

There is not a moment to be lost in making the facts known. A great deal has come to light regarding protests ostensibly about judicial reform. The situation is not what it appears to be.

You are urged to read this carefully to the end and share the information very broadly. Israel is at risk. Please, voice support for the governing coalition. (Not to me, but in venues where others will take note.) Read more…

The chairman of the National Unity Party, MK Benny Gantz, recently met several times with Shas chairman Aryeh Deri in an attempt to reach an understanding between the coalition and the opposition regarding the judicial reform, Kan 11 News reported on Monday.

According to the report, the coalition hopes that a compromise on the issue of reasonability, by which the court can strike down laws and ministerial actions on the basis of their being arbitrary or “unreasonable”, will pave the way for Deri to return to the government. Legal officials, however, are casting a high doubt on whether the move will indeed allow Deri to return.

At protest against judicial reform, former PM Ehud Barak calls for ‘nonviolent’ civil rebellion. ‘We are determined, we will win.’

Israel National News

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak on Saturday night urged those attending protests against the judicial reform to up the ante.

Speaking at a protest in Haifa, Barak said, “We will win, because we have no other land, and we have no other way. We are determined, and we will save the democracy. We are from all sectors of Israeli society: Arabs, Jews, secular, religious, and traditional, we are all one family. The family of the rule of law and democracy. We are in a battle for the soul and the future of Israel. It will not be easy, and it will not be short, but we are fighting as one family for everything that is dear to us, and we will win.”
