The last days of Abdullah II, 24 years ago, are black pages of his sinister rule and corruption, which every Jordanian, man and woman, bears witness to. …..

It’s Tempting to See a Victory, but Israelis Suffered a Huge Defeat  

A win for the Israeli opposition could turn out to be a Pyrrhic one

Noa Landau, HAARETZ

After months of dogged public protest, it would have been tempting to view the election of Yesh Atid Knesset member Karine Elharrar to the Judicial Appointments Committee as a victory of sorts for the opposition. But a win of that kind is still liable to end in a Pyrrhic victory: As of now, the opposition’s representative was elected to a committee that doesn’t exist.

National Unity party leader Benny Gantz and Knesset opposition leader Yair Lapid therefore did the right thing in declaring that the negotiations on judicial changes would be on hold until the Judicial Appointments Committee is actually convened.

Elie Wiesel, Maligned For Being A Zionist  

A review of a biography by Joseph Berger of the late Elie Wiesel, a survivor of Auschwitz, has just appeared in the British newspaper, The Telegraph. According to Adam Levick, the review was most disturbing, for the reviewer seemed to think it unacceptable that Wiesel was and remained a strong supporter of Israel. More on this review can be found here: “Telegraph Chides Elie Wiesel For Not Having Criticised Israel,” by Adam Levick, CAMERA, June 6, 2023:

Israeli MK proposes dividing Temple Mount between Jews and Muslims  

T. Belman.  This is exactly what I proposed in my JO videos from my 2017 conference.  Check it out. Mudar Zahran is totally on board with it.

Amit Halevi’s plan would give Muslims control of the southern end of the Temple Mount complex, which contains the Al-Aqsa mosque, while Jews would receive the central and northern areas.

A Likud lawmaker is proposing a plan to divide Jerusalem’s Temple Mount between Muslims and Jews and to remove Jordan’s custodial status over the holy site.

Speaking to the Zman Yisrael Hebrew news site, Knesset member Amit Halevi outlined a plan whereby Muslims would control the southern end of the 37-acre complex which contains the Al-Aqsa mosque, while Jews would receive the central and northern area, where the Dome of the Rock sits.

Putin responds to U.S. sending depleted uranium shells to Ukraine: ‘There will be no winners’ if war goes nuclear  

War in Ukraine appears to be at pivotal point, transitioning from a regional dispute to a global conflagration fully capable of arriving at WWIII and massive loss of life among all parties involved

LEO HOHMANN

Vladimir Putin has warned yet again that if the U.S./NATO continue to escalate the war by sending ever-more controversial weapons to Ukraine, including yesterday’s announcement of tanks firing radioactive depleted-uranium munitions, this could quickly turn into World War III.

Putin said, “there will be no winners, including America” in a Third World War.

Robert Barnes on Trump Indictment – Deep State vs A Constitutional Republic  

June 13, 2023

Attorney Robert Barnes appeared on a podcast yesterday to give his analysis of the political indictment of President Trump.  It’s a long deconstruction of the Lawfare effort, and contains numerous defenses therein; however, it is a very good encapsulation of the ridiculous issues created by the Biden administration’s efforts to target their political opposition on behalf of the Deep State.  WATCH:

Netanyahu calls to push off vote for judicial selection committee  

T. Belman. This postponement was due to pushback by Levin, Smotrich and Rothman among others.

Coalition expected to back PM’s initiative to delay Knesset vote choosing MKs for judicial selection committee by one month.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for the Coalition to push off the election of Knesset representatives for the Judicial Selection Committee Wednesday, delaying the process by one month.

Earlier on Wednesday, Justice Minister Yariv Levin (Likud) reportedly lashed out at Netanyahu over the premier’s plans to back the election of the Opposition’s candidate, Karine Elharrar (Yesh Atid), the committee, demanding that both spots reserved for Knesset members go to the Coalition.

Justice Minister Levin: ‘Why are we afraid of the Opposition?’  

Justice Minister expresses outrage after Netanyahu decides to give Opposition seat on Judicial Selection Committee.

  Jun 14, 2023, 8:41 AM 

Justice Minister Yariv Levin (Likud) was left fuming over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to back a candidate from the Opposition for one of the two spots reserved for Knesset Members on the powerful Judicial Selection Committee, which appoints Israel’s judges.

The nine-member panel includes two MKs, selected in a secret ballot by the Knesset. Over the past three decades, most governments – though not all – have agreed to reserve one of the two positions for a member of the Opposition.

Bibi’s Enemies are Backing Down after this interview went public  

T. Belman. Unfortunately Bibi still refers to Judea and Samaria as “disputed” territories. I totally disagree. Jews are the only people who have a right to it and to whom it has been given.

Unfortunately, he also still calls Biden a good friend of Israel and that the status quo on the Temple Mount is sacrosanct.

by Phil Schneider, ISRAEL UNWIRED 

For more than 30 years, Benjamin Netanyahu has been the #1 spokesman of the State of Israel. His leadership has always been in the public eye. And nearly, every time, he has masterfully played the Israeli press, the foreign press, Congress, and US President’s like a fiddle. But there have been times that he has made serious mistakes.
