Jewish leaders fail to understand the importance of fighting the demonization of Israel  

AMERICANS FOR PEACE AND TOLERANCE

Sunday, May 14, was the 75th anniversary of the establishment of Israel.

For the Arabs, the day marks the failure of their effort to destroy the Jewish state and slaughter its people. Like any war, the conflict resulted in the creation of refugees. Ignoring the historical facts and steeped in an “honor-shame” culture, the Arabs viewed this failed genocide as a catastrophe, or nakba in Arabic.

The Real Threat to Al-Aqsa Mosque is From Muslims, Not Jews

  • If anyone has been desecrating al-Aqsa Mosque, it is Muslims who have been rioting and using rocks and fireworks to attack police officers and Jewish visitors. Muslim rioters — not peaceful Jewish visitors — are the real threat to the sanctity of the mosque.
  • Israeli authorities have clarified that the route of the “flag parade” absolutely does not include entry into any mosque.

K.T. McFarland: FBI, DOJ, and CIA rigged the last 2 elections… and they will rig 2024  

By Thomas Lifson, AM THINKER

Former deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland, who worked for General Michael Flynn – unjustly forced from office, offers a chilling and highly realistic view of what we face: a coup by the deep state that they are planning to repeat in 2024 because they don’t want their crimes prosecuted by a Republican president and AG.

Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on her Fox Business Network program, McFarland laid out the grim reality that, strangely, does not bother any of the people who rage about “protecting democracy” from Donald Trump. Kanekoa The Great summarizes her views and presents a two-and-a-half minute clip of her. I urge you to watch the whole thing, as there is a lot of richness that doesn’t make it to this summary.

Democrats Create a Transgender Child Kidnapping Network  

By Daniel Greenfield, 21 May 06:19 PM

“Trans Minors Protected from Parents Under Washington Law,” the Associated Press headlined its story. A short time later the story had officially been “withdrawn” by the AP.

Withdrawing the story however didn’t change the facts.

Washington Senate Bill 5599, titled, “Supporting youth and young adults seeking protected health care services”, allows shelters where a child runaway shows up not to notify his or her parents. While normally, unless a child were suffering “abuse or neglect”, the shelter would be obligated to inform the parents between 24 and 72 hours after arrival. The new law adds minors getting abortions and transgender treatments as “compelling reasons” not to notify their parents.

Will Israel choose annexation over normalization? Who needs whom more, the US or Israel?  

By Ted  Belman 

Two days ago at the Arab Summit in Saudi Arabia, MBS, al Sisi and King Abdullah all called for, “the establishment of a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital”.  The only one with any clout is MBS. He has put all Saudi Arabia’s demands on the table before serious negotiations commence. Are they all pre-requisites or will some be dropped before the final deal?

It doesn’t look good for Israel because the Palestine demand is also in line with the declared policy of the Obama/Biden government.

Christianity ‘Must be Eliminated’: The Persecution of Christians, April 2023  

by Raymond Ibrahim, GATESTONE  •  May 21, 2023 at 5:00 am

  • “The Taliban are offering money for Afghans to turn in any Christians they know. And Afghans are desperate, further heightening the security risk [to] Christians.” — mnnonline, April 3, 2023, Afghanistan.
  • [P]olice raided a large group of Christians, mostly college students, as they “gathered to sing and record video clips for social media.” One-hundred-and three of them, “mainly students,” were arrested and sent to prison. “This latest arrest puts the number of Christian prisoners detained indefinitely without trial in Eritrea to more than 500…. Mai Serwa [prison]…is … known for its use of torture and other forms of mistreatment, including beatings, starvation, and denial of medical care.

The BBC’s hermetically sealed thought system  

Its Disinformation Reporter need look no further than its Israel coverage for her story

By MELANIE PHILLIPS   21.5.23<
>

BBC Broadcasting House, London

Once again, Israelis have been forced to shelter against bombardment by hundreds of rockets fired from Gaza. Once again, Israel has been forced to take military action to defend itself against increasingly deadly attacks. Once again, much of the western media has presented this as if Israel wakes up in the morning and decides to bomb Gaza through some insatiable lust for violence.

Orwellian dystopia descends on the Jewish state  

By

If the so-called “champions of democracy” succeed in obstructing the judicial reforms, democratic rule will be replaced by mob rule, and Israel will teeter on the brink of an Orwellian dystopia.

“The starkest indicators [of erosion of democracy], which presumably underlie the country’s downgrading in international democracy ratings, involve elite decisions about rejecting election results.”– James Druckman, professor of political science, Northwestern University, “Misperceptions, Competition, and Support for Democracy”.

MBS: We will assist in helping the Palestinians establish a state  

T. Belman. This is very disturbing. When MBS  set out his demands for normalization to the US, Palestine was not one of them. MBS now appears to have upped the price for normalization by saying “We will not delay in providing assistance to the Palestinian people in recovering their lands, restoring their legitimate rights and establishing an independent state within the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

Hopefully it is not a precondition for normalization but a pledge to afterwards, assist the Palestinians in getting a state within the ’67 borders.

Amid reports of push for normalization with Israel, Saudi Crown Prince stresses importance of “Palestinian issue”.

By Elad Benari, INN    19.5.23

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Friday once again stressed the importance the kingdom places on a Palestinian state.

Speaking at the Arab League summit taking place in the country, bin Salman said, according to Channel 12 News, “The Palestinian issue was and still is the main issue of the Arab countries and is at the top of the kingdom’s priorities. We will not delay in providing assistance to the Palestinian people in recovering their lands, restoring their legitimate rights and establishing an independent state within the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

In the climate of a global pandemic, COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out under emergency use authorization after a much shorter than normal testing period. Millions of people rolled up their sleeves because they were told they were doing their part to end the pandemic. But for some—it didn’t go as expected.

The Unseen Crisis is a feature-length documentary that provides an intimate, uncensored look into the lives of those who live with the debilitating after-effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. It examines the issue of COVID-19 vaccine injury claims in a fresh, honest, and comprehensive manner with expert interviews, whistleblowers’ statements, and government health statistics.

Biden reverses himself, allowing F-16s to be sent to Ukraine  

By Thomas Lifson, AM THINKER

A US F-16 carrying: One AIM-9L Sidewinder, one AIM 9J Sidewinder, one 2000 pound Mark 84 bomb, and an auxilliary fuel tank on each wing

The United States has unilaterally decided to escalate the war between Russia and Ukraine, apparently in the belief that the war will continue to drag on for a considerable time, since training Ukrainian pilots will not be a quick or easy process.

Despite his previously announced opposition to supplying the fourth-generation fighters to Ukraine – a move that Zelenksy has been lobbying for – Biden unilaterally told his G-7  counterparts that he has flip flopped. As the BBC reported:

8 Disturbing Similarities between the Democrat and Nazi Parties  

By D. Parker, AM THINKER

Steve McCann’s “Eight Startling and Uncomfortable Ways the Democrat Party Emulates the Nazi Party” was just the tip of the National Socialist iceberg.

The fascist far left have always had to lie to survive.  They’ve always been on the wrong side of history, and the only way they can remain viable is by gaslighting people on a full-time basis.  For decades, their biggest lie has been that the supposedly pro-freedom side of the political spectrum, imbued in the precepts of individual liberty and limited government, is somehow connected to totalitarian collectivist regimes that displayed the exact opposite of those values.

Gaza Rockets Pierce White House Optimism on Middle East  

The Biden administration’s advertising of its success in tamping down conflict across the region is both premature and unwarranted.

By David Adesnik, FDD

In five days of fighting that ended with a Saturday night ceasefire, terrorists in Gaza fired more than a thousand rockets into Israel—1,468 rockets to be precise. Thanks to bomb shelters and the Iron Dome missile defense system, the barrage only claimed the lives of two victims inside Israel, one of them a Palestinian construction worker from Gaza. Four Palestinians also died when rockets fell short of the border, hitting homes in Gaza, according to Israel’s military.

Has the US really withdrawn from the Middle East?  

America’s Middle East ‘Withdrawal’ Breathes Its Last Breath  June 24, 2022
What Does U.S. “Withdrawal” From the Middle East Mean? Dec 10, 2021

The short answer is that it hasn’t, and Washington must do more to correct this misconception

By Paul Sullivan, THE NATIONAL NEWS ,  December 29, 2022,

One of the more enduring narratives over the past few years has been America’s supposed withdrawal from the Middle East and North Africa. It’s a recurring theme in media reports and analyses, and often seeps into debates and discussions. But there appears to be plenty of daylight between perception and reality. And the fact of the matter is, the US’s business, academic, cultural, military and diplomatic partners in the region understand all too well that America has stayed. They also know how important it is for America to remain.

Support for Netanyahu goes up, but voters unhappy with policies for Haredim — poll  

T. Belman. If Gantz or Lapid want to r4educe the influence of the Haredi, either one should compete with them to be a coalition partner rather than steadfastly reject Netanyahu. They have left Netanyahu with no option..  They are the author’s of their own misfortune. If Gantz and Saar changed some of their policies to be more in tune with the Right, they would be in the government also and the other parties to the coalition would not be so powerful.

Prime minister overtakes Gantz in public support after latest Gaza flare-up, Channel 12 survey says; 63% say premier ‘surrendered to the ultra-Orthodox’ in budget talks

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saw a bump in public support in a poll released Friday, nearly a week after the latest military operation in Gaza, which helped restore some voter confidence in the premier after his ratings plummeted during the first four months of his sixth term in office.
