The lawlessness of the left-wing rioters and the cowardice of the IDF and the police in the face of the Left’s rejecting the voters’ will in the last elections are pushing Israel into crisis.Op-ed.

By Dr. Aviel Sheyin-Stevens, INN

Israel is ruled by a judicial despotism that is not accountable to the people. Due to their loss of power in elections, the political Left transformed Israel’s legal system to a rule of law mafia; controlling government policies and Knesset legislation. The Netanyahu government’s proposed judicial reform is the first real threat to their control over Knesset and the government; hence the Left’s total war against it. The lawlessness of the left-wing rioters and the cowardice of the IDF and the police in the face of the Left’s rejecting the voters’ will in the last elections are pushing Israel into crisis.

The terms anarchy and tyranny seem like they are contradictory. Anarchy means no state. Tyranny means nothing but state. What possibly could anarcho-tyranny mean?

It’s a phrase coined by the right-Hegelian political theorist Samuel Francis, whose dark worldview was never my cup of tea, to say the least. Even so, he was insightful, especially concerning the ambitions of the left.

The protest organizers are doing irreparable harm to the state, its institutions and its economy, in a classic “cutting off your nose to spite your face” campaign.

By Alex Traiman, INN   9.4.23

(JNS) Since the announcement of a package of proposed judicial reforms by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government, a small protest movement quickly gained momentum, headed by opposition leader Yair Lapid, claiming that Israel was on its way toward becoming a fascist dictatorship (read Part I and Part II).

From the outset, political leaders were warning that the protests would lead to political violence and ultimately a civil war. Such warnings were seen as hyperbole and condemned for their malicious tone but did not deter Netanyahu’s coalition from racing ahead with its planned legislation.

Over 3,000 years ago a slave revolt took place that is repeated every year. It was not just a rebellion against a long since vanished pharaoh whose dynasty and people have been consigned to dust along with his treasure cities that the Jewish slaves had labored over.

The revolutions of the past come and go. Nations rise and fall, and then fall further into the history books. Passover however was a remarkable revolt not just against an empire, but paganism, and it remains relevant even all these thousands of years later. In a recent poll, only 39% said that religion was very important to them. That’s down from 62% a generation ago.

Why confront Islam(ism)? Because if we don’t it will continue to get more extreme. This is not Islamophobia, as many Muslims and their apologists protest.  A phobia is a baseless irrational fear. Detestation of Islamism, the violent form of Islam, is based on irrefutable facts and it is not only rational, but it is also ethically imperative.

It is a virtue to take action to oppose the hateful, and vice to ignore it. It is a virtue to hate tyranny, misogyny, discrimination of all sorts, oppression, and all manners of violations of the legitimate rights of the individual and people.

Wake up, Palestinians, even for once. The Jordanian Waqf at Al-Aqsa and the intelligence services of Abdullah II are exploiting you to ignite confrontations with the aim of pressuring Israel, America and Britain to support the survival of the king, who fears an imminent coup against him. How long will they exploit you when you are deaf in wedding ceremony? Wake up from your heavy sleep!

Playing the game of What if…? with history is usually futile. But sometimes it yields valuable lessons. For instance, What if the CIA and MI6 had not orchestrated the overthrow of Iranian prime minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953? Consider one possibility – that Iran might have become a bastion of democracy and not what it is today, a threat to the interests of the U.S. and its allies and the biggest cause of instability in the Middle East.

Another day another Jew was murdered in the Jewish state, in the Jewish homeland. Today it was two sisters and their mother in critical condition. The strongest army in the Mideast and beyond could not prevent it, again.

It wasn’t always this way.

I remember a time when terror attacks were not a  daily event and one remembered the few that remained in our memories and consciousness. We would refer to particular attacks and recall all their details. Today only computers can remember. Two sisters today, two brothers last week.. who can digest it all?

The most important two sentences in the history of political philosophy since the ancient Greeks appears towards the beginning of Machiavelli’s The Prince.

‘[A] wise ruler,’ the author informs his reader, ‘must think of a method by which his citizens will need the state and himself at all times and in every circumstance. Then they will always be loyal to him.’

The history of the development of modern governance is essentially a riff on this basic insight. It tells us almost everything we need to know about our current predicament: those who rule us vigorously engaged in the task of making us need them, so that they can retain our loyalty and hence stay in power – and gain more of it.

It is not that House Republicans are merely lukewarm in their support of former President Trump and  his MAGA program, and therefore, according to the instruction of Machiavelli, in The Prince, will fail in helping this innovator  overcome the fierce opposition of the Deep State. House Republicans are pathetic in their flabby pretense to help Mr. Trump drain the swamp.

The media say they have always been concerned about big money in elections.

They also say they are very concerned about foreign money in elections, and honest elections, so here is a trial should draw great interest. It also involves a billionaire and stolen money.

• The Biden Administration has created a vacuum of leadership on the global stage.
• If the US further pulls out of Asia, the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East, Ukraine, Latin America — anywhere — the vacuum created will surely be filled by the new axis of China-Russia-Iran. A US pull-out is, most probably, just what they are hoping and waiting for.

In Remembrance of a Great Nation

The two subjects Democrats like to talk about the most are democracy and existential threats, threats to our democracy and existence. Since  Democrats live in a Bizarro world, everything they say is opposite of reality and priority.  These threats to our existence if made in opposite order of consequence would be Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, and…drum roll, please…the Democrats themselves!

T. Belman.  This does not come as a surprise to me.  My source in the Arab world told me that Kushner betrayed Israel and reflected the desires of the Arabs. Qatar also bailed Kushner out when he was behind the 8-ball with his 666 Fifth Ave investment. It financed him.

BY NICK ROBERTSON, THE HILL – 03/31/23

Jared Kushner’s private equity fund has received hundreds of millions of dollars in investments from the UAE and Qatar, according to a report.

Kushner, son-in-law to former President Trump, was the administration’s adviser tasked with policy in the Middle East, including delivering a peace plan between Israel and Palestine.
