The chairman of the Knesset Constitution Committee, MK Simcha Rothman, is expected to present a watered-down version of the first part of the judicial reform, which concerns the composition of the Judicial Selection Committee and the prevention of judicial review of basic laws, Kan 11 News reported on Saturday night.

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) denounces, in the strongest possible terms, the Biden Administration’s unconscionable, illegal plan to provide commando training in Jordan to 5,000 Palestinian-Arab army of terrorists or future terrorists; and to then equip and deploy this Palestinian-Arab commando army in Judea/Samaria, along with foreign and U.S. forces.

A year ago, I wrote The Conspiracy to Shrink Israel in which I made the case by quoting from a number of sources, that the US was party to the conspiracy and its leader.

Now my leftist, Zionist, friend, Ami Isseroff has added to my evidence and drove the point home in his article, Understanding the obvious: U.S. policy toward Israel.

Isseroff cites considerable evidence which you shouldn’t miss and then concludes:

The Israel Lobby is getting a lot of attention these days and antisemites complain that Israel is the largest recipient of US aid in the world, like Israel was a costly liability. They argue for cancelling the aid. I thought I would put it in perspective.

Proponents of withdrawal both before Gaza and now, argue that it will save money. They also argued that Israel will be more secure, but that’s another story.

Olmert has gone so far as to say that Kadima will no longer spend money on the settlements east of the fence. [N ow he destroys the settlements.] In so doing he is reinforcing the message that the settlements and or the occupation are a financial burden, a waste of money that could be better spent on Israelis rather then settlers. Fair enough, but where is the proof? What are the facts?

Israel, as a sovereign nation, is more than capable of executing its own electorally-mandated policies — or so one would think. Not so fast.

As fully evidenced within recent analyses regarding the interference/funding by America’s powerful left, to thwart long overdue, righteous judicial reform in Israel — found here, here, and here — similarly, the leftist junta in control of America’s educational apparatus has captured Israel’s school system too. Mind you, even the State religious system (where most Jewish national religious parents send their children) cannot escape the left’s infection. Tentacled grasp.

A peer-reviewed paper initially approved and praised by a prestigious academic journal was suddenly rescinded without explanation. Its author, one of the world’s top scholars on Ukraine-related issues, had marshaled overwhelming evidence to conclude Maidan protesters were killed by pro-coup snipers.

Here are 20 conveniently overlooked facts that give some perspective to the current Middle East situation. These were compiled by a Christian university professor…..

1. Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., TWO thousand years before the RISE of Islam.
2. Arab refugees began identifying themselves as PART of a Palestinian people in 1967, TWO decades AFTER the establishment of the modern STATE of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E, the Jews had dominion OVER the LAND for ONE thousand years with a continuous PRESENCE in the LAND for the past 3,300 years.

The Arabs cry out for justice.  The Jews cry out for security.

The Arabs demand their rights, even non-existent rights like the “right of return”.  The Jews have forgotten they have any rights.

As a result, the world considers the Palestinians as oppressed and the Israelis as the oppressors.

Recently, Tony Blair delivered a speech in Chicago on Global Affairs in which he said,

• On March 10, Chinese President and Communist Party General-Secretary Xi Jinping brokered a surprise agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran to reestablish diplomatic relations between the two countries, effectively knocking the US off the Middle Eastern chessboard and showing himself as a power-broker on the world stage.
• Xi is, in fact, on his way to Russia, possibly as soon as next week, with a 12-point peace plan — ostensibly to see if he can pull off the same wizardry with Ukraine, but more likely to nail down plans to seize Taiwan.

The Pentagon says that the takedown of the Reaper drone by Russian Su-27 pilots was “unsafe and unprofessional.” But the Pentagon has not explained what the drone was doing flying near Crimea, nor has it told the public about the unique capabilities of the MQ-9 Reaper.

T. Belman. This article doesn’t explain why it will depend on Israel. I think, what is suggested is that Israel may attack Iran.

American Jews, probably to no one’s surprise, tend to be overwhelmingly liberal. According to a Pew study conducted in 2021, “seven-in-ten Jewish adults identify with or lean toward the Democratic party, and half describe their political views as liberal.”

Being from Brooklyn, where I have befriended and become acquainted with plenty of Jews (both practicing and secular), I am actually surprised by this seven-in-ten statistic from Pew; I thought it would have been much higher!

As the judicial coup bills near final votes, the protesters – who have already made significant achievement – could paralyze the country completely? President Herzog’s compromise includes a win for the ultra-Orthodox

If the Netanyahu government’s unseemly rush to complete the legislation that makes up the judicial revolution continues to go unchecked over the next two weeks, the mass protests across the country will become even more intensive and even more disruptive.

The government’s tone-deaf declarations and decisions, along with the proposed legislation, have continuously reignited the opposing camp for the last two-and-a-half months. President Isaac Herzog’s decision to present his latest compromise plan two days ago only managed to create another twist; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was on a trip to Germany at the time, immediately rejected “The People’s Directive,” under pressure from home, while two opposition leaders, Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz, responded positively.

Cognitive dissonance in America and Britain undermines their key Middle East asset

By Melanie Phillips    MAR 17

America and Britain claim to be allies of Israel. There is no gainsaying the deep links between them of military assistance, intelligence and trade. Israel is the invaluable strategic asset for America and Britain in the Middle East, a crucial bulwark in the defence of the west.

And yet both America and Britain undermine Israel’s security and defence against existential attack by sanitising, promoting and funding Palestinian Arabs, whose active cause remains the destruction of the Jewish state.
