Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday night described as an existential threat the refusal by reserve soldiers to show up for duty in protest of the government’s judicial reform program.

“Refusal to serve threatens the foundation of our existence, and it must have no place in our ranks,” Netanyahu said after attending a Purim megillah reading at a Border Police base in the Jewish community of Beit Horon. “Israeli society has always condemned those refusing to serve. This will not be allowed to gain a foothold.

Natural Immunity Is as Protective as COVID Jab  

by Dr. Joseph Mercola

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
  • A recent systematic review and meta-analysis found natural immunity is “at least as high, if not higher” than that provided by two mRNA injections, and “provides strong, lasting protection against the most severe outcomes of the illness”
  • Overall, infection-acquired immunity decreased the risk of hospitalization and death from a COVID reinfection by 88% for a minimum of 10 months. For comparison, previous studies have shown the efficacy of two COVID shots wanes to BELOW zero by the sixth month, meaning the effectiveness becomes negative, making you more prone to infection than you were before

How Biden Subverts Israeli Democracy  

by Caroline Glick, GATESTONE  •  March 7, 2023

  • The Movement for Quality Government (MQG) in Israel is the far-left organization at the epicenter of the Israeli left’s war against the Netanyahu government. MQG began its current campaign of delegitimization, subversion and demonization immediately after the Netanyahu government was sworn into office on December 29. The next day, MQG petitioned the Supreme Court to prevent Shas leader Aryeh Deri from serving as a minister in the government.

Murdered Israeli Jews, Huwara, and Hadi Amr. The Facts.  

Some facts you need to know because they seem to have escaped the attention of Western media and the Biden administration. Op-ed

By Barry Shaw, INN   6.3.23

Some facts you need to know about the murder of Israeli Jews, Palestinian Arab terrorism and Huwara, because they seem to have escaped the attention of your Western media and the Biden Administration who just met their Palestinian Arab counterparts in Aqaba, Jordan, and arranged to give them more guns while they castigate Israel for responding to increasingly deadly Palestinian Arab violence morally supported by the current Democrat Administration.

Drowning in a sea of resentment and hate, it’s far from clear that Israel can make it back to shore.  

T. Belman. My sympathies are with the settlers, not the Palestinians

Purim is almost here, but it feels more like the hours before the Ninth of Av; joy barely registers, while dread looms everywhere; the roots of the crisis are as old as Hatikvah

By Daniel Gordis

Last week’s “pogrom” (not my word; it’s the term used by IDF Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fuchs, who oversees the West Bank / Judea and Samaria) was unbearably horrific, shameful and a desecration of everything that Judaism ought to stand for.

Full stop. Nothing can mitigate that.

Biden expects Netanyahu to be in charge; Smotrich complicated things  

The tone of the US State Department in recent days makes it clear: There is no room for more gaffes.

By  Shirit Avitan Cohen, ISRAEL HAYOM

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is trying very hard to smother the flames of the fire he ignited by his statement that called for Hawara must be “erased.” He uncharacteristically released two clarifications – a tweet, and an urgent interview on Saturday night on the “Meet the Press” program – showing that he understood the potential damage of his statement. To date, it is hard to say that he has succeeded in achieving his goal.

  • The bill basically states that an Israeli citizen or resident who commits a terrorist act and agrees to receive payment for it from the Palestinian Authority is thereby stating a preference to receive benefits from the Palestinian Authority over those of the State of Israel. When the terrorist completes his prison sentence, he will then move to the place of his chosen alliance, the West Bank or Gaza Strip. Needless to say, this also means that re-entry into Israel is prohibited.

IAEA DIRECTOR: “Any military action on Iran’s Nuclear Facility is Outlawed”  

T. Belman. There is absolutely no legal basis for such a statement.
Netanyahu also objected.

 

Ever since it has been found that Iran can rich uranium to 84% the world has been trying to find a way to contain their march forward to a nuclear weapon.

According to the IAEA, Iran has the right to defend itself from attack. While in Iran IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said, “Any military attack on a nuclear facility is outlawed, is out of the normative structures that we all abide by.”

So Smotrich is “persona non grata on steroids” in Washington  

T. Belman. Don’t fall for the bullshit.

Strange. Abbas called to ethnically cleanse Jews and destroy Israel, but is not considered “persona non grata.” Op-ed.

By Ezequiel Doiny,INN 5.3.23

On Mar 5, 2023, Arutz 7 reported “An US official quoted by Channel 12 News said on Saturday night that the administration is considering preventing Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering the United States, following his comments that the Arab village of Huwara should be “wiped out”. The official said that it would be better for Smotrich to announce of his own accord that he is canceling the visit, and “save himself the embarrassment, since all Biden administration officials refused to meet with him anyway.”

Ben-Gvir: Defense Min, forgot he was elected by the right  

National Security Minister responds to boycott of conversations with him by Minister Yoav Gallant.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responded Sunday morning to the claims of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that he will not speak with Ben-Gvir after the content of their previous conversations were leaked to the media.

“Gallant does not answer calls. He chooses to ignoe the senior partners in the coalition. It’s the same with the evacuation of the outpost [which was erected] in memory of Rabbi Druckman, the same with regard to the evacuation of the vineyard [in the Shiloh Valley], the same with regard to the fact that I contacted him about the fact that every night there are thousands of gunshots in Hebron, the same with the evacuation of the settlement of Evyatar and the same regarding the administrative detainees,” Ben-Gvir claimed.
