“The King of Jordan’s intelligence and the Egyptian military intelligence are the ones behind Hamas’ escalation against Israel,” and the goal is “to buy time for Abdullah, the king of #Jordan, who is on the verge of falling.” Sisi knows…

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposes that opposition parties Yesh Atid and National Unity enter an emergency government following Hamas’s devastating surprise attack Saturday morning.

Netanyahu makes the offer during a meeting with Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid and National Unity party leader Benny Gantz held earlier today, saying such a government would be the same in format as the Levi Eshkol government then-opposition leader Menachem Begin joined before the Six Day War in 1967.

Leon Kushner: Listen to this guy from Germany. You will be blown away

Julian Reichelt: What we are witnessing today is not war, it is an act of genocide against Jews, against women and children committed on Israeli soil. It also is the result of failed policies like the “Iran deal” that allowed the Mullah regime to state-sponsor the terrorists of Hamas. #Israel

The Biden administration at the UN and in “peace” negotiations with Saudi Arabia endlessly reaffirms American support for a two-state solution to the status of the ‘West Bank’. Secretary of State Blinken said, “Normalization… needs to involve a two-state solution.” Numerous attempts at two-state solutions including Camp David talks in 2000, a Saudi peace plan in 2004, and others have all failed.

The trail that leads from Tehran to D.C. passes directly through the offices of Robert Malley and the International Crisis Group

by Lee Smith TABLET        October 01, 2023

The Biden administration’s now-suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley helped to fund, support, and direct an Iranian intelligence operation designed to influence the United States and allied governments, according to a trove of purloined Iranian government emails. The emails, which were reported on by veteran Wall Street Journal correspondent Jay Solomon, writing in Semafor, and by Iran International, the London-based émigré opposition outlet which is the most widely read independent news source inside Iran, were published last week after being extensively verified over a period of several months by the two outlets. They showed that Malley had helped to infiltrate an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai into some of the most sensitive positions in the U.S. government—first at the State Department and now the Pentagon, where she has been serving as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier.

UPenn paper’s article about Palestinian Conference there is filled wiith Jew-hating, Israel-hating lies/omissions. Op-ed

Morton A. Klein is president of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and Liz Berney, Esq. is ZOA Director of Research and Special Projects.

The “Palestine Writes” event at University of Pennsylvania this past Yom Kippur weekend was not a “celebration of art and culture,” as claimed in a recent Daily Pennsylvanian article. Rather, as we feared and predicted would occur, a stream of speakers who have called for “Death to Israel” and Intifadas (anti-Jewish terror wars), incessantly libeled and incited hatred against Jews and Israel.[1]

The administration’s motives for pushing a new deal have more to do with the president’s 2024 re-election campaign and his failed Iran policies than peace.

By JONATHAN S. TOBIN

(October 3, 2023 / JNS) During its first years in office, the Biden administration had difficulty saying the words “Abraham Accords,” let alone taking actions to follow up and expand upon the Trump administration’s foreign-policy triumph. That’s changed in the last several months. The Biden administration has taken up the cause of promoting a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia. But if those two countries are moving ever closer to each other—something about which there is no doubt—it has little to do with the efforts of President Joe Biden or Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
