Israeli voters have consistently opted for the bloc of the religious–Right, contrary to the assumption that Israel’s current government is undermining democracy.

 By  Rabbi Dov Fischer, IH

It seems that every free and democratic vote that results in a victory for conservatives marks the “death of democracy.” If you Google “death of democracy in America,” you get 54,800,000 results. No social media “influencer” can match that. Among the first 10 results is Al Jazeera’s prediction of doom: “Unless that simple, yet hard realization is embraced by folks now, America’s dark days will only become dimmer.”

JTA — Jews made up nearly half of America’s biggest philanthropic donors last year, according to a calculation by Forbes of who gave the most money away in 2022.

In a year that saw their fortunes take a hit amid declines in the stock market, America’s 25 “most generous givers” donated a collective $27 billion, up from $20 billion in 2021, for a lifetime total of $196 billion, according to Forbes. They included 12 billionaires with Jewish backgrounds — a dramatic overrepresentation when compared to the proportion of Jews in the overall US population.

CAROLINE GIVES A GREAT SUMMARY OF THE LOOMING BATTLE.

L. Goudsmit. Globalism is a replacement ideology that recognizes no limits, no boundaries, no national sovereignty, and no individual sovereignty. The only limit and only boundary recognized by the globalist elite is the line that separates rulers from ruled. Globalism is the 21st century return to feudalism, no matter how much lipstick is painted on this totalitarian pig. One can only hope that legitimizing the sexual abuse of children is a bridge too far, and that people will finally make  The Turn.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government is poised to take a series of steps that could result in a massive increase in the population of Jewish communities in Judea in Samaria over the coming years, Israel Hayom has learned.

During a recent meeting between Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and settler leaders, some of the components of the plans were revealed. If finalized, they would come on top of the pledges already written into the Coalition Agreements that were signed between the Likud and its allies in the Knesset.

Hours-long visit also attended by Shin Bet head, Jordanian counterpart to discuss possible unrest on site ahead of Ramadan in March

By TOI STAFF and LAZAR BERMAN       Today, 3:59 am

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly promised King Abdullah II that the status quo on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem will be preserved during a previously unannounced meeting between the two in Jordan on Tuesday.

According to Channel 12 news, Netanyahu made the promise more than once during the hours-long visit, and also gave assurances that Israel would protect the authority of the Islamic Waqf — a Jordanian-appointed council that administers the Temple Mount. The site is the holiest site for Jews, as the location of two biblical temples, while the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Mount is the third holiest shrine in Islam, turning the area into a major flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Deep State wants a new Democrat president.

by Wayne Allyn Root, FPM   24.1.23

Poor helpless, hapless, mumbling, stumbling, bumbling brain-dead President Joe Biden. It’s all over for him. The puppet’s days are clearly numbered.

It’s so obvious what’s happening. Biden’s presidency is over. The deep state and D.C. swamp don’t need him anymore. He served his purpose. Now they want him out.

There are two reasons why all of this is happening now.

T. Belman. Welcome to Israel. Whenever there is a flare up in Arab violence, the US demands that Israel stop provoking them. When Sen Mitchel went to Israel in 2,000 to report of the Arab violence, he recommended that Israel freeze settlement construction which it was legally allowed to do. Amb Nides recently said his job is to “restore calm”. That is the value the US embraces at home and abroad unless the violence suits their purpose as in Ukraine.

Is the world progressing, as the Progressives claim, or is it in fact regressing?

More and more evidence suggests the latter. In fact, in certain respects, the West is increasingly becoming like the quintessential Third World — namely, the Islamic world.

One can cite several examples — the West’s eagerness to ban any Christian symbol, lest it offend, or its ban on free speech, lest that too offend (or “blasphemes” against Muslim sensibilities) — but an unexpected one recently surfaced.

T. Belman. Frager fails to mention that this illegal construction is financed by the EU. Nor does he mention the other problem, namely that the Arabs are taking advantage of Israel law (going back to Ottaman law) that provides that by cultivating the land you get ownership of the land.

Unless, Israel wakes up in time, much of Israel will have been snatched from right under their eyes.

By Joseph Frager, MD, INN

The new Netanyahu government could not have been elected too soon to thwart the illegal land grab by the Arabs in Judea and Samaria. The new coalition has made this thankfully a priority. It’s about time.

The government is to be commended for demolishing illegal Arab outposts in Wadi Rahhal and Irtas in the Gush Etzion Area recently. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Illegal Arab construction has been going on for years in Jerusalem and Area C of Judea and Samaria. Area C was designated in the 1993 Oslo Accords as solely the land of Israel. The Arabs have plenty of land to build legal structures in Area A and B.
