by Phil Schneider, ISRAEL UNWIRED,

Mark Levin understands the inner workings of the Israeli political system better than nearly any other media personality in America. He labels what has been going on in Israel over the last few months as treason. Bibi thought that that term is too strong. But they did agree that what is going on in Israel is nothing less than an attempt to bring down the government of Israel. This goes far deeper than an attempt to safeguard Israel’s status quo in the court system.

T. Belman. When I started promoting the Jordan Option in 2017, many argued that our eastern border was our safest thanks to Abdullah. No longer.

By Hana Levi Julian, JEWISH PRESS

Netanyahu made the announcement in a tweet on Sunday afternoon, noting that Israel erected a fence along the southern border with Egypt, and thereby prevented more than a million Africans from infiltrating into the country.

“Now we will build a fence on our eastern border (Jordan) and ensure that there will be no infiltration from there either,” Netanyahu wrote.

In mid-December 2022, an F-35 aircraft crashed in the US, leading both America and Israel to ground a significant portion of their F-35 fleets.

By YONAH JEREMY BOB

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday submitted an official Letter of Request (LOR) to the US and to Lockheed Martin for the purchase of a third squadron of 25 F-35 aircraft, which will eventually bring Israel’s total complement to 75 aircraft.

The LOR was submitted to the US’s Joint Program Office (JPO) after an announcement on July 2 that Israel had internally approved seeking the additional 25 F-35 aircraft and would now start working on eventually submitting an LOR, culminating in Sunday’s announcement.

T. Belman. No one disputes the need for checks and balances, separation of powers, rule of law. The issue at hand is that until such time as Israel approves a constitution, the High Court has no right to insert its policies and values. Neither can it legislate from the bench. Legislating is the prerogative of the Knesset.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara says harm caused by Reasonableness Standard bill justifies overruling a Basic Law.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara called on the Supreme Court to strike down the Basic Law amendment which reduces the court’s ability to apply the Reasonableness Standard against the government.

Baharav-Miara today (Sunday) submitted her position on the petitions against the law, in preparation for the hearing on the matter before a full panel of all 15 Supreme Court justices next Tuesday.

It’s never been about Trump—it’s about forcing Americans into submission

By Allen Mashburn, AM GREATNESS 1.8.23

In the tumultuous landscape of American politics, one name has become emblematic of the Left’s unyielding battle: Donald Trump. His presidency ignited a firestorm of opposition, revealing not just a political clash, but a broader war against those who hold opposing beliefs. As the dust settled on his term, it became evident that the Left’s war on Trump is just one facet of a broader campaign that aims to silence any dissenting voices. To preserve our freedoms, there must be an issued call to arms for patriotism, courage, and bravery from all citizens—willing to rise to protect the futures of their children and grandchildren.

It is undeniable that the judiciary and juries in the federal courts in the District of Columbia are almost uniformly left-wing partisans, a key part of the post-constitutional era brought into being by former president Obama. I do not know how or whether this can be rectified, although I expect a resounding victory for Republicans in 2024 followed by a congressional reshaping of the jurisdiction of these courts and their staffing may be the only solution.

The article below includes a full list of Supreme Court decisions that created this situation with the illegal African migrants in Israel.

As if not enough hypocrisy of the justice system has been exposed proving the dire need for judicial reform, now we have more proof of the tremendous damage our judicial dictatorship has inflicted upon Israel. After years of annulling every single law proposed to deal with the illegal African migrants, the illegal African migrants today in Tel Aviv went on a public rampage destroying store shops, cars, harming police officers etc.

BEHIND THE LINES: Renewed protests in Syria show regime and Iran vulnerable to economic pressure

By JONATHAN SPYER, JPOST 3.8.23

Large-scale protests against the regime of President Bashar Assad have entered their second week in southern Syria. The protests originated in – and are focused on – the majority Druze province of Sweida. However, other parts of the country have also witnessed protests and strikes.

Among these areas is Deraa province, which adjoins Sweida, and where the original demonstrations that sparked the Syrian civil war took place in early 2011. Rallies have also taken place in Jarama, areas of Idlib Province, neighborhoods of eastern Aleppo, and in the coastal Latakia Province, host to a large Alawi population – and often considered the heartland and cradle of Assad’s rule.

Only Writers Who Support “Official Narratives” Are Tolerated.

Americans are blue pill people

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Global Research, September 01, 2023

Because of the organized suppression of facts and because of the campaigns against truth-tellers, it is increasingly difficult and risky to provide truthful accounts. Only writers who support the official narratives are tolerated.

Retribution is becoming commonplace. The level of retribution depends upon the level of threat the writer is perceived to present.

• The Biden administration continues to ratchet up its appeasement policies with the ruling mullahs probably to revive the disastrous nuclear deal which would pave the way for the Islamist regime of Iran legally to have as many nuclear weapons as it likes; lift sanctions against the theocratic regime; strengthen the ruling mullahs with additional billions of dollars — for terrorism, nuclear weapons, the missiles to deliver them, “exporting the Revolution”, and suppressing their own people — and allow them to rejoin the global financial system and enhance their legitimacy on the global stage.

The judicial reform and the protest movement are headed to a historic junction where the Supreme Court will have to decide if it is going to create even greater chaos, or whether to show responsibility and pull everyone back from the brink.

By  Dror Eydar, ISRAEL HAYOM  29.6.23

1. Is Supreme Court President Esther Hayut planning a constitutional crisis? Will she cross the red line and dismiss Basic Laws or declare incapacitation of a sitting prime minister? For 30 years, MKs mostly remained silent in light of the erosion of the Knesset’s standing and the Supreme Court’s dismissal of laws it had passed without any explicit legal authority to do so – it does so only through the power of its own controversial interpretation. The Aharon Barak school of thought took upon itself the authority to oversee the laws passed by the Knesset through its own powers – as if “God is the Place of the world, and the world is not the Place of God.”

T. Belman. Mark, though a gentile,  devoted his life to defending and telling the truth about Israel. We often corresponded. I wasn’t aware of his tale of woe until I received this letter.

By Mark Vandermaas

This will be my final email to you. After it is sent, I will be deleting my Israel Truth Week database as I have decided to end my formal Israel advocacy work, although I will be maintaining my website at IsraelTruthWeek.org for now which has my training about Israel’s modern land title deed, the Mandate For Palestine. I thought it only right that I explain my reasons given that you have supported my work on behalf of Israel and her land rights for so long.

The distinction between hating Jews and hating Israel is bogus

MELANIE PHILLIPS

Posters carried on pro-Palestinian march, London 2019; courtesy of UK Campaign Against Antisemitism

Antisemitism is a rotten term for the “longest hatred” that targets the Jewish people. For a start, there is no such thing as “semitism” to be “anti”.

The word “antisemitism” was invented by a 19th-century Jew-hater, Wilhelm Marr, who wanted to invest this prejudice with the spurious characteristic of race in order to appeal to a society that increasingly defined itself in scientific terms.

T. Belman.  I posted the map so that you could see the proximity of the Druze City of As Suwayda to Jordan. As this city gains its independence, it will protect the northern Jordanian border. The same for Nawa to the north of it.

The second article at the bottom mentions Daara as part of the uprising. Perhaps the uprising will go further north to Quinetra thereby protecting Israel’s border. I believe this area is populated by the Druze who are friendly to Israel.

The Jordan Option may be waiting on this development.

by Hadeel Oueis, ALL ARAB NEWS | August 31, 2023

As the Syrian conflict enters a new phase, recent events in the southern Druze city of As-Suwayda have reignited the attention of both the Syrian opposition and international observers. Once frustrated by the slow pace of change in Syria, opposition groups are now closely monitoring the unfolding protests in As-Suwayda. The city, still under the control of the Assad regime, has become a focal point of calls for change amid a challenging backdrop of economic deterioration and shifting regional dynamics.
