T. Belman.  I think he was referring to Smotrich’s party only. Ben Gvir wants wants Min of Public Security so that he can control the police and rules of engagement. By extension, he would be responsible to deal with Arab violence including on the Temple Mount.

Ending Palestinian construction and agriculture and legalizing unauthorized outposts are just two of the parties goals, en route to the big prize – annexation

Nine settlers will serve in the new Knesset, six of them because of the unprecedented electoral achievement of the Religious Zionism party. The party’s leaders, Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, live in settlements deep in the West Bank: Kedumim and Kiryat Arba, respectively.

The fact that the issue of Israeli policy in the West Bank has a starring role in its platform thus comes as no surprise. “Settlement and sovereignty,” it’s called there, and it is expected to be at the center of the party’s negotiations to join a new governing coalition.

Preliminary negotiations for forming the government are not promising. Bibi is already looking for ways to shunt Smotrich and Ben Gvir to the side so they won’t have any serious power.

Smotrich and Ben Gvir agreed to negotiate as a block forcing Netanyahu to take them both or reject them both. Since they have 14 seats out of a 64 total for the right wing block theoretically he could reject them both and take Gantz’s 12 seats ending up with a 62 seat majority. Gantz has continually said that he will not join a coalition government if Bibi is the Prime Minister.  We’ll see if Bibi makes him an offer and if he sticks to his word.

T. Belman. We keep reading of all kinds of illegality.  I keep looking for an article which explains whether of not we have legal recourse or for an article that reports on lawsuits underway.

Maricopa County election day tabulation errors caused uncounted ballots to be mixed in with already counted ballots, leaving no way of knowing if all the legal votes were counted or not.

The Gateway Pundit received more confirmation of this at a Maricopa County election protest earlier today.

The Palestinians are frustrated with their delayed efforts to have Israel indicted for war crimes in the International Court of Justice (ICC) in The Hague. So  their new strategy is to turn to different UN bodies to try and put pressure on ICC to prosecute the Jewish State and force its hand.

This week the UN’s decolonization committee in New York adopted a draft resolution submitted by the Palestinians requesting an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on Israel’s occupation of the West Bank. The Palestinian proposal calls on the ICJ  to  “urgently weigh in on Israel’s prolonged occupation, settlement and annexation of the Palestinian territory”. It labels Israel’s pro-ported illegal conduct a violation of  the Palestinians’ right to self-determination. The UN General Assembly votes against Israel in New  York

“Government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together,” Barney Frank once said. The sleazy former congressman was echoing Rousseau’s idea of the General Will.

To leftists, the state was the central unifying principle and the thing that brought us together.>
But back when Frank said it, culture was still actually the thing we chose to do together. For three quarters of a century, our cultural industries had wielded mass media to craft a middlebrow common culture that erased the old distinctions between high and low, the opera and vaudeville, to bring us songs we could sing, jokes we could laugh at and stories that made us feel.

I don’t know what others would define as a Red Wave, but whatever we got Tuesday night, I’ll take it.  As of this writing, the GOP is set to pick up the House of Representatives, giving chairman gavels to both Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan, along with subpoena power.  It is going to be some kind of fun in the Capitol.  And if the remaining votes left to count in Arizona come from whom we think they come from, the GOP may not even need the likely win coming in the Georgia run-off to take the Senate.

VERY GOOD NEWS ISRAEL 13/11/22

In the Book of Ecclesiastes, it states that there is nothing new under the sun. While that may be strictly true, Israeli innovations are certainly making good use of the sunshine to generate pollution-free energy and grow food to feed a hungry world.

This week’s positive Israel news includes using solar energy to produce hydrogen from water, generate water out of the atmosphere, power buildings using solar paint, and create zero-emissions Israeli factories. Israelis are designing solar power plants on the Moon, installing solar panels in farms, and creating solar water heaters that operate in cold climates.
Israelis are using the sun’s rays to grow micro-algae, create natural sugar substitutes, and boost crop yields. They even allow impoverished Lebanese farmers to harvest Israeli olives.
To maintain clear skies, Israeli technology reduces the fuel used by ships, creates “green” ink for printed circuits, cuts methane emissions from cattle, grows coral reefs, and converts CO2 into minerals for the glass industry.  It is therefore not surprising that the improved environment has attracted more rare, endangered species to the Israeli coast.

In the 13th Nov 22 edition of Israel’s good news, the highlights include:

T. Belman. Three cheers for Tobin. As Editor-in-Chief of the Jewish News Service, he takes a very bold position in debunking all the smears. I am surprised and heartened by it. It is important to note that the jns is not a typical voice of progressive Jewry. Instead it had boldly planted itself on the Right.

Instead of Excessive Apology

by Zev Jabotinsky, 1911  (translated from Russian by Boris Shusteff

We constantly and very loudly apologize… Instead of turning our backs to the accusers, as there is nothing to apologize for, and nobody to apologize to, we swear again and again that it is not our fault… Isn’t it long overdue to respond to all these and all future accusations, reproaches, suspicions, slanders and denunciations by simply folding our arms and loudly, clearly, coldly and calmly answer with the only argument that is understandable and accessible to this public: ‘Go to Hell!’?

The claim that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government will make life hard for Diaspora Jews ignores what motivates Zionism’s foes and other anti-Semites. Op-ed.

By Jonathan Tobin, INN

(JNS) As Benjamin Netanyahu begins forming the next Israeli government following his victory in the latest Knesset election, some on the left have begun a last-ditch effort to prevent him from forming a coalition with the parties that ran as his allies. Their argument is that anything must be done to keep the Religious Zionist Party and especially Itamar Ben-Gvir out of power.

Did you ever wonder where all those billions of dollars were going in Ukraine?  Did you ever wonder why anyone was trusting the elites in US politics like the Bidens with billions in funds going to Ukraine?

Today it turns out that these were excellent questions.

We have information that the tens of billions of dollars going to Ukraine were actually laundered back to the US to corrupt Democrats and elites using FTX cryptocurrency.  Now the money is gone and FTX is bankrupt.

‘If we’ll manage to get a quarter or half a million Arabic speakers out of the country, that will be enough,’ King said in an interview to an Israeli news outlet after he published a job offering in the name of a Jewish philanthropist exposing a plan to ‘encourage a non-Jewish immigration for work purposes’

Jerusalem Deputy Mayor and right-wing activist Arieh King is helping an anonymous Jewish philanthropist to launch a program to encourage the emigration of non-Jewish citizens outside of Israel, King announced on Facebook on Wednesday.

In an interview to HaMakom Independent Magazine following the post, King explained that “the idea is to encourage non-Jews to relocate outside the borders of our country.” The philanthropist who supports the current venture wishes to remain anonymous.

The Goethe Institute in Israel thought it had a great idea. Why not observe the 84th anniversary of Kristallnacht by convening a panel discussion on the Shoah and the Nakba, and how we – you, me, everybody — are to understand the “pain of the others”? There must have been many who gasped at the insensitivity of the effort, the massive miscomprehension of it, the cruelty of the inadmissible comparison. How flabbergasting, some must have thought, since any one of sense knows what is wrong with this pairing of the Holocaust with the Nakba; apparently, however, no one of sense works at the Goethe Institute of Israel. The story of this outrage can be found here: “German institute lashed for Tel Aviv ‘Shoah, Nakba’ event on date of Kristallnacht,” by Lazar Berman, Times of Israel, November 8, 2022:

Poisoning relations between Trump and DeSantis

By Anthony J. DeBlasi, AM THINKER
Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis are allies, not rivals. Portraying them as political opponents is yet another twisted mistake in judgment that gives political gamesters something to add to their tactics for dividing America. The Trump versus DeSantis game is aimed at destroying both of these outstanding Americans. Don’t fall for it. And take political commentary that distorts the relation between Trump and DeSantis — even that from “conservatives” — with a ton of salt.

Both sides actually have a lot in common.

by Daniel Greenfield, FPM     November 12, 2022 

Post-election conservative social media has been on fire with conservative infighting, conspiracy theories and boosting of Trump vs. DeSantis for the 2024 nomination.

Without championing anyone, let me take a step back to weigh in on what I think the difference in approaches and what the underlying tension between the two sides is really about.

And maybe see that they actually have a lot in common.

The Israeli election results stunned the left.

“Benjamin Netanyahu’s win in Israel’s latest election has drawn a muted response from the U.S. as policymakers wrestle with the implications for foreign policy in the Middle East,” wrote Fox News in its story lede.

“In the days leading up to the election, politicians from the left were pleading with voters to please, please help save their parties.  In Israel, this has become known as a gevalt campaign — Yiddish for ‘Help!'” wrote the New Yorker in its nut graf.

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”
November 11, 2022,

The US State Department has assumed that generous diplomatic and financial gestures could induce the violently volatile Middle East to abandon anti-Western fanatic ideologies and adopt Western values, such as peaceful coexistence, good faith negotiation, democracy and human rights.  However, the State Department’s well-intentioned policy has fueled Middle East violence, generating tailwinds to rogue entities and headwinds to the US and its Arab allies.
