Storms come in many forms and may consist of many different constituent elements, but when all these elements combine at the same critical moment, we call it a “perfect storm.” When such a storm is transposed analogically to the cultural, political, and economic realms, that is, when it seems to impact the entire social environment, we have no choice but to grasp its significance and prepare for its onset by taking protective measures.

Iran is acquiring nuclear weapons — rapidly — with a deal or without one. Any “deal” appears simply a bribe to the Iranian regime please just not to use their nuclear weapons on the Biden administration’s watch. (Image source: iStock)

• In spite of US Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley’s recently having said that the White House is not going to “waste our time” on the nuclear deal “if nothing’s going to happen,” he nevertheless stressed that the Biden administration is still committed to employing diplomacy, presumably to revive it at a later date.

Bibi’s story.

Redacted with Natali and Clayton Morris

The INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES ARE IN CHARGE OF CENSORSHIP ON HIGH TECH MEDIA

T. Belman. This is a fascinating discussion but the title is very off. Pfeffer makes the point that the left always quotes the stock phrase “Jewish and Democratic” but only makes the case for “Democratic”.  Bibi on the other hand makes the case for “Jewish”. At the same time the Left never explained what’s “Jewish” for them.  He ends by saying:

” if we can’t make a robust case for our own Jewishness as Israelis who don’t support Netanyahu’s bleak authoritarianism and his partners’ fundamentalist vision, then what’s the point of living here anyway?

“Netanyahu has proven in every election victory that if you can’t explain what it means for you to be a Jew in Israel, then you won’t be able to fight for Israel’s democracy either.”

In effect, the Jews won and the Democrats lost.

Over numerous election campaigns, Benjamin Netanyahu has continually used Jewishness as a dividing and binding means to ensure his own political success

This hasn’t been a good week for Israel’s fragile and limited democracy. It has seen the return to office of Benjamin Netanyahu, a prime minister who is on trial for bribery and fraud, and incited during the campaign against the Arab minority. Furthermore, on Election Night, he embarked on a totally false series of accusations of voter fraud that he claimed – without any basis in reality – were taking place at polling places in the Arab community.

In her recent article in The Atlantic, a Brown University professor, Emily Oster, is calling for “pandemic amnesty.”  She is telling me to “forgive and forget” everyone who was yelling obscenities at me for not wearing a mask in a public park or calling me a mass murderer for posting a picture with a friend visiting.  I must forget all this, the author insists, because all those people had nothing but my well-being in mind!

The author admits that many (if not most!) measures imposed on us by “the experts” were harmful and destructive.  But “dwelling on those mistakes” is “counter-productive.”  After all, people who made these mistakes had only good intentions.

Those clutching their pearls over the “fascists” poised to join Israel’s new government should look in the mirror. Op-ed.

By Melanie Phillips

(JNS) With the result of its election this week, Israel has joined other Western countries in a notable current trend: A revolt by the public against the political establishment.

The Religious Zionist Party has now become the third-largest party in the Knesset. This is likely to mean cabinet posts for the perceived rabble-rouser Itamar Ben-Gvir and the ultra-conservative Bezalel Smotrich in a new government led by the Likud Party’s Benjamin Netanyahu.

The doomsayers point to the victorious Likud, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Religious Zionist Party, led by Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, who won a combined 45-46 Knesset seats. Together with the 19-20 seats won by the ultra-Orthodox parties Shas and United Torah Judaism, this gives Netanyahu’s right-religious bloc a commanding 65-seat majority.

What follows is an excerpt from a Sept 12th article by Judy Maltz in Haaretz titled “Why So Many Young Israelis Adore This Racist, Politician” :

Ben-Gvir’s recent surge in the polls is often attributed to his growing appeal among young Jewish Israelis – particularly ultra-Orthodox men and traditional Mizrahi voters from the country’s geographic periphery. What became abundantly clear last week was that his appeal is spreading to less likely quarters – in this case, one of the last bastions of the secular left in Israel.

T. Belman. The court accepted the argument put forward by the Min of Defense:

” the restriction is “minor” while the level of political sensitivity regarding land in Judea and Samaria is immense. “.

The Court held “the question is whether the considerations of the military commander in this matter are reasonable or unreasonable to the extent that the intervention of the Court is necessary.” No, the question is whether the law is racist.

The Court should not be the arbiter of values. That’s for the Knesset to decide. I expect this decision to be overruled.

Israel’s High Court of Justice rejects petition challenging Defense Ministry’s rule barring land sales in Judea and Samaria to Jews.

Israel National News

Yesterday (Wednesday), the High Court of Justice rejected a petition filed by the Regavim Movement to compel the military commander and the Civil Administration to repeal Jordanian Law #40 which prohibits the sale of land in Judea and Samaria to Jews – a law still in force due to Israel’s decision not to extend its law or sovereignty to territory liberated in 1967.

In the High Court hearing earlier this week, Regavim’s attorney, Boaz Arzi, argued that the discriminatory ordinance should be struck down without further delay.

At 11’30 AM, With 97% of regular votes counted, Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-religious bloc is heading to a convincing victory, while the left-wing Meretz party remains short of crossing the threshold.

The Central Elections Committee has so far counted 4,101,766 votes, with 24,306 invalidated.

Based on the current count, Netanyahu’s bloc would pick up 65 seats, though this number may change as more ballots are processed, including some 500,000 “double envelopes” containing ballots cast by soldiers, prisoners and diplomats.

Currently, Likud has 31; Yesh Atid, 24; Religious Zionism, 14; National Unity, 12; Shas, 12; United Torah Judaism, 8; Yisrael Beytenu, 5; Ra’am, 5; Hadash-Ta’al, 5 and Labor has 4.

What a relief.

Now that he has won a clear majority in parliament, there is no political justification to take a backseat to the Left’s ideology.

By  Ariel Kahana, ISRAEL HAYOM

Benjamin Netanyahu scored a resounding victory over his detractors on the left in Tuesday’s election, but no less than that – he also settled the score with his rivals on the Right. Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Lieberman, Gideon Saar, Zeev Elkin, Zvi Hauser, Moshe Ya’alon, Yoaz Hendel, Ayelet Shaked, and all the other right-wing politicians who refused to toe the line found themselves in opposition or at home.

T. Belman. I would rather have the Israeli government at odds with the Biden Administration then sharing the same bed with them as the Lapid government did. We must keep them at arms length and force them to understand that Israel is in charge of the country, not them. In football terms, we must strong-arm them.

The prospect of not only a victory for Netanyahu and Likud, but the formation of a government with a prominent role for the Religious Zionist Party and one of its controversial leaders, Itamar Ben-Gvir, is enough to set the hair of Democrats and the foreign-policy establishment on fire.

By  Jonathan S. Tobin

The votes in Israel’s latest Knesset election are still being counted, but the exit polls confirmed the worst fears of the Biden administration. While Israel isn’t getting the same kind of obsessive attention it has received at times in the past, there’s no question that President Joe Biden and his foreign-policy team have strong opinions about who should be running the Jewish state that are echoed by most Democrats and the liberal mainstream media.

There are a half-million excess deaths in the United States that are unaccounted for—and the usual suspects do not add up to that many.

By Edward Ring, AM GREATNESS   

By a significant margin, and according to data reported weekly by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the death rate in America remains elevated. If nothing else is certain as Americans continue to cope with the most disruptive event in the last half-century, one fact is indisputable: As the number of cases of COVID-19 decreased over the past few months, they now account for less than half of this persistently elevated death rate.
