• The results of the survey indicate that the Israeli public has far greater trust in the Knesset — by dozens of percentage points — than it does in Israel’s judiciary, from the Supreme Court down to the legal advisors and counselors who answer to the Supreme Court.
• As almost always, the different answers are the result of differences built into the questions. The wording of the question posed in the Israel Democracy Institute survey referred to the “level of trust in the Knesset” while the “Direct Polls Trust Index” survey examined trust “in the members of the Knesset you elected.”

Ongoing competition between China and the United States for next-generation technologies will define the future of artificial intelligence (AI), according to one U.S. congressman.

AI, in turn, will determine the outcome of the New Cold War between the two powers, said Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.).

The only way to ensure U.S. victory in the AI race, and thus the New Cold War, he believes, is to sever ties between the two nations’ tech sectors.

The Deep State traitor worries he might be held accountable.

By Robert Spencer, FPM

It is now well established that the FBI has become thoroughly and possibly irreparably corrupt and politicized, serving as a thuggish arm of the Leftist establishment rather than any kind of law enforcement agency. Its decline accelerated during the tenure of the intensely partisan Leftist apparatchik James Comey as FBI director, but in the six years since Donald Trump removed Comey from office amid a storm of controversy, the lanky corruptocrat has shown not the slightest hint of introspection, much less regret. Instead, he just went on MSNBC to warn that a new Trump administration could see the president weaponizing the justice system. Well, Comey certainly knows all about weaponizing federal agencies for partisan purposes.

COVID is blamed for the vast ruin and destruction of the past few years.

After all, there were a more than a million deaths in the U.S., mass layoffs, and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of small businesses. There’s been learning loss and speech delays in children, and depression and other mental health crises in teenagers. There’s the massive inflation seen today and a huge surge in the federal debt brought on by federal COVID spending and let’s not even get into the fraud. There’s also the refusal of workers to return to work, the still-empty churches and downtown office spaces, and countless other still-lingering negative effects.

Reform leader Rick Jacobs travels the USA proudly proclaiming that “interfaith families are now the majority of the movement.”

The West is deconstructing itself, soon to become dhimmi.

By Giulio Meotti. INN  7.6.23  

In Austria, a school had the brilliant idea of changing a song’s words from “Gottes Liebe ist so Wunderbar” to “Allah’s Liebe ist so Wunderbar”.

Isn’t everything wonderful?

A few days ago, I wrote about Bordeaux. Now it’s the turn of Grenoble, the city made famous by Stendhal. Because by discovering how a city goes insane, you can better understand the collective madness that has enraptured the West, where there are now two factions facing each other in the open field (non-populist / pro-European): those who defend civilization and those who deconstruct it.

Credible allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election have resulted in profound misgivings among Americans. Many conservatives have become disillusioned with the Republican party, especially at the national level where the gap between rhetoric and results has grown enormously. However, the nation has experienced similar circumstances in the past. What lessons can we draw from the history of previous elections?

Historical revisionists are trying to turn the world against Israel and the Jewish people.

By Dr. Joseph Frager, INN   

(JNS) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) insists on pushing her “nakba” lie and the U.N. has given it its stamp of approval. This makes me want to go back in time and review a period that seems to have been swept under the rug and forgotten. I will hit some of the highlights.

In July of 1937, the Zionists accepted a partition plan proposed by Earl Peel, an ex-British cabinet minister. The mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, demanded independence, the annulment of the Balfour Declaration and the removal of all Jews from then-Palestine.

A breakthrough solidarity rocks the tyrannical regime.

by Struan Stevenson, FPM 

In a breakthrough that has rocked the tyrannical Iranian regime and fired a shot across the bows of western appeasers, 108 former world leaders have signed a joint statement of solidarity with the people of Iran and shown their support for the main democratic opposition coalition the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and its key constituent organization – the People’s Mojahedin of Iran/Mojahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK). Signatories to the letter include former US Vice President Mike Pence and 50 former Presidents, 47 former Prime Ministers, one former Chancellor, and nine other former Heads of State from across the world. Two former Presidents of the European Commission and three Nobel Peace Prize laureates are also among the signatories.

Usually, I write to bring news to your attention or to analyze a specific issue. It’s relatively rare for me to write a post telling you to read someone else’s post. However, Harold Robertson’s post about the “competence crisis” is so important that I want to encourage as many people as possible to read it. (Hat tip: William Duncan.)

The full title of Robertson’s article, which is published at Palladium (Governance Futurism), is “Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis.” The first few paragraphs spell out the scope of this problem:

UKRAINE AND RUSSIA BLAME EACH OTHER

A BOMB WAS PLACED ON THE DAM.

Sources close to Justice Min. Levin say he will resign if a satisfactory compromised is not reached.

Israel National News     Jun 6, 2023, 8:27 AM (GMT+3)

Sources in the Likud have clarified that Justice Minister Yariv Levin (Likud) is sending an unambiguous message that if there are no agreements with the opposition before it is time to choose representatives from the Knesset for the Judicial Selection Committee and the Likud does not decide to choose two coalition representatives for the committee, he will resign his position as minister.

Condemning White Supremacist antisemitism has meaning only if it acknowledges the breadth and depth of Black Jew-hatred in America. 

Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer, INN     Jun 5, 2023, 7:23 AM (GMT+3)

With much fanfare, the Biden Administration recently unveiled a plan that supposedly aims to counter anti-Semitism in America. Several “mainstream” American Jewish organizations fell over each other, racing to be first to distribute their press statements praising the Biden paper. I differ.

I live in various worlds including those of the secular legal profession, opinion journalism, and academia. I also know the American Jewish organizational universe from the inside. Among the many in that alphabet universe of ADL’s and AJC’s and XYZ’s, each has its own publicists, and they all race to get their press release out before “the competition” does. Their dream: maybe, if they are fast enough and say the words coveted by the leftist mainstream media, their organization’s name will be cited and their leader will be quoted, wistfully in the New York Times. Or at least in some left-wing “Jewish” outlet like the JTA, the TOI, or Haaretz.

The new information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.

Female teacher fired, forced to apologize after saying ‘good afternoon, girls’ to students: report

In Virginia’s House of Delegates, “Elizabeth Guzman [has] announced that she would introduce a bill that would hold parents criminally liable for refusing to treat their children as the opposite sex if they identify as such.”  Criminally liable.  Radical leftists are dead serious about this, and we would be foolish to underestimate their power and determination.

It is already happening in Australia.  Quote: “A recent Australian court decision sends a chilling message to parents who transgress the new gender orthodoxy: Refusing to validate a child’s ‘transgender’ identity may be ‘emotional abuse’ and put parents at risk of losing custody of their child.”

On a recent visit to Doha, where I spoke with Qatari and American foreign policy officials, I was reminded of the question that always arises when talking about U.S.-Qatar relations: Friend, foe, or a little of both?

In January 2022, President Biden designated Qatar a major non-NATO ally, a designation the State Department calls “a powerful symbol of the close relationship the United States shares with those countries and [one that] demonstrates our deep respect for the friendship for the countries to which it is extended.” At the time, the Department of Defense reported that Biden and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani “discussed shared regional security interests, including de-escalating tensions in the region, countering terrorism, and the threats represented by Iran.”

Saudi Arabia’s leadership is not counting on an improvement in the country’s relations with Iran, and estimates that Tehran will violate the agreement between them at the first opportunity, senior officials in Riyadh told Israel Hayom.

According to the officials, the view that the tightening of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran has put a stopper on the possibility of future progress towards normalization with Israel, is not true.

Washington Needs an Endgame in Ukraine

By Samuel CharapFOREIGN AFFAIRS

Fifteen months of fighting in Ukraine have made clear that neither Moscow nor Kyiv has the capacity to achieve a decisive military victory over the other, Samuel Charap writes in a new essay. Moreover, two key aspects of the war are likely to remain fixed for many years to come: the persistent threat that both sides pose to each other and the unsettled dispute over the areas of Ukraine that Russia has claimed to annex. This means that the war in Ukraine could continue indefinitely, devolving into a devastating years-long conflict that could cost thousands more lives without producing a decisive outcome.
