The good people of Austria are shocked — shocked, I say! — to learn that the Muslims they’ve invited to live among and benefit from them hold to various divisive, if not downright hostile, doctrines.
According to a May 10, 2023 article, “alarm bells are ringing” in Austria following the publication of a report on what Austrian mosques are teaching to Muslims.

T. Belman. Bibi should refuse to go to the Whitehouse rather than beg for an invitation. My guess is that the WH needs this meeting and Bibi doesn’t. Bibi has already said regardless of any deal the US makes with Iran, Israel won’t be bound by it. Plus Bibi should prioritize extending sovereignty rather than extending the Abraham Accords. The US and SA need normalization more than Israel does.
The Left prefers shafting Netanyahu and promoting Palestinian statehood over breakthrough diplomacy that would transform the Mideast.
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman and others on the far Left are seeking to scuttle normalization between Riyadh and Jerusalem. They will not tolerate any breakthrough in ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel during the tenure of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and certainly not until they get their long-groused-about Palestinian state.
In a nasty 6,000-word essay last week, Friedman compared the forward-looking bent of Saudi Arabia under its young leader Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, with the backwardness of Israel under the nationalist-haredi Coalition headed by Netanyahu.
T. Belman. Wednesday is the moment of truth.
In vote Wednesday, Netanyahu reportedly unlikely to give the coalition both of the 2 committee seats reserved for MKs, a move that would likely sink Herzog-brokered reform talks

Ahead of a key vote this week to choose the two Knesset representatives on the Judicial Selections Committee, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reportedly expected to support having one coalition MK and one opposition MK on the panel, as has been customary.
However, Justice Minister Yariv Levin was continuing to advocate appointing two coalition representatives, according to a Channel 12 news report Saturday evening. Such a move would scuttle the ongoing judicial reform negotiations with the opposition. Control of the committee is central to the government’s plans for overhauling the judiciary.
The results of a recent ‘trust index’ survey reveal far more than the dry numbers they report – which are important in and of themselves. There are broader messages hiding behind the recently published indicators of public trust in the institutions of Israeli democracy, and both George Orwell and Mark Twain would have demanded that we take notice.
The DOJ has long held the evidence needed to charge Joe Biden with bribery to change our policy in Ukraine. (And also all the evidence needed to charge Hunter with several crimes, including violations of the tax code, of the laws governing the purchase of firearms, and laws prohibiting money laundering. ) Here is an overview of the evidence needed to charge with bribery to change our policy in Ukraine
Our policy was to have Ukraine force Burisma and its owner Zlochevsky to return the oil and gas properties Zlochevsky stole when he was the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources. And Zlochevsky wanted that policy reversed.

T. Belman. Col Macgregor starts off talking about tensions in Kosovo following independence and currently. It is particularly interesting because there was talk about dividing the country. That would involve severing a predominately Serbian population and the land that houses them from Kosovo and then to move the other Serbs in Kosovo to that area. This solution was rejected because the US thought they should learn to live with diversity. This mentality has implications for Israel.
The same issue is involved in Ukraine. Russia wants to sever the Russian population areas of Ukraine and the US is trying unsuccessfully to prevent it.

What Is to Be Done?
A proactive and decisive strategy must be formulated and implemented to eventually force Hamas to accept a new set of rules that will relieve Israel of this threat. Such a strategy will also make Israel’s strength and resoluteness clear to the Palestinian Arabs, weaken Hamas’s political standing, and send a message of deterrence to Iran, Hezbollah, and their allies. Eventually it may also aid the peace process by demonstrating that armed attacks and jihad against Israel harms Palestinian Arabs, and that their conditions will improve only after they accept Israel as the permanent Jewish state.

Secretary of State Tony Blinken called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday and briefed him on his talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS), including the possibility of Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Israel, according to a source familiar with the call.
T. Belman. Also by Greenfield: Trump Indicted for Crime Every Admin in Last 40 Years was Guilty Of.
The Biden Justice Department and its various arms were fighting to keep a document alleging that Biden had accepted a $5 million bribe hidden from the public. That’s the same DOJ that is ordinarily more than happy to leak materials involving Trump and conservative targets to the media. The DOJ and the FBI ignored a congressional subpoena and only contempt charges provided limited access to the Biden bribe document.

CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHG) such as methane have been suspected for more than a century of being potentially harmful atmospheric warming agents. The climate movement began more recently with the advent of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1989 and the release of Al Gore’s prize-winning film An Inconvenient Truth in 2006. Climate alarm began as “man-made global warming” and, when cooling was observed even as CO2 levels continued to rise, morphed into “climate change.”

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

Just days after Iran was rewarded by being appointed chair of the United Nations Human Rights Council 2023 Social Forum, the regime on May 19 executed three more men for having participated in anti-regime protests.

When the left began its anti-government campaign, the public expectation was that violent lawbreakers would be treated the same way as their right-wing counterparts had in the past. That has not been the case.
By Caroline Glick, INN 9.6.23
(JNS) On Sunday, retired Brig. Gen. Nehemiah Dagan, one of the heads of the left’s anti-government campaign, published a post on his Facebook that included an explicit call for civil war and physical destruction of the Kohelet Forum—a think tank in Jerusalem that Dagan and his associates have singled out for harassment and assault.
Dagan’s post, which he deleted three days later, is worth quoting at length.

THIS IS LONG BUT VERY INTERESTING.
He said something that I took exception to. He said Iran’s development of a supersonic missile will Douglas Macgregor: Another Defeat! the M.E. because it will deter the US or Israel from attacking. He ignores the fact that Iran is forever threatening Israel and for that Reason, Israel is force to pre-empt. The development of this missile or nuclear capability will again cause Israel to pre-empt.
