The hypocrisy of the Israeli left’s calling dibs on democracy  

Let this sink in: According to the chairman of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, if the public grants a majority to Netanyahu, Israel will morph into a combination of Nazi Germany and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Op-ed.

Oct 30, 2022,


(JNS) Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman Ram Ben Barak, a member of Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid Party, did his constituents proud. At a “Shabbat Tarbut” current-events gathering in Beersheva on Saturday, the parliamentarian from the ridiculously named “Change Bloc” compared the rival camp’s potential victory on Nov. 1 to the establishment of the Third Reich.

Jewish Sovereignty is on the Ballot  

T. Belman.  I agree with every point Caroline makes.

By Caroline Glick

Most of Israel’s commentators insist that Tuesday’s Knesset elections—the fifth in fewer than four years—are about the same thing the last four were about: Benjamin Netanyahu. If you vote for Netanyahu’s Likud Party, or for the other three parties in his right-religious bloc, then you are for Netanyahu. If you vote for caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party, or for any of the members of his left-Arab bloc, then you are against Netanyahu. Nothing else is up for grabs.

Macron Admits Half of Crimes Committed by ‘Foreigners’ But Calls Immigrants a ‘Fantastic Fortune’ for France   

BY

Emmanuel Macron is both the President of France and a threat to the survival of the French. He is now admitting that the country’s increasing Muslim population – though he states it in a fashion designed to obscure, rather than to clarify, reality, by calling these Muslims “foreigners” – exhibits rates of criminality much higher than those of the indigenous French. He then proposes no other “solution” to the problem except to disperse Muslims throughout the French countryside. But in that countryside, those Muslims will have room to build even bigger houses for larger families, will create Muslim communities where none had existed before, will build more mosques, conduct da’wah, and unsettle the French rural population, as they have already done to the French who live in cities.

Report: Over 90% of slanted articles in top US campus papers biased against Israel  

T. Belman. It would not be so but for the funding provided by the PA and the Muslim Brotherhood. To bring about change, we must kill the Palestinian cause.

ACF surveyed 75 leading college and university newspapers. Of all the articles about Israel exhibiting a bias, 181 were biased against Israel. Only 14 portrayed it positively.

New Report Warns America’s Woke Military “Would Struggle in a War”  

L. Goudsmit. The enemy within is always the most dangerous. The American military is a chosen target in globalism’s war on America, and military readiness in all areas is being deliberately reduced so it cannot, or will not defend the nation. Military ranks are being intentionally weakened physical with mRNA jabs, and morally by the woke leftist policies, and the divisiveness those policies foment. Military inventories are being reduced and weakened to indefensible levels. Why is the Biden regime swinging the wrecking ball that is collapsing America’s military? Because the Biden regime is the enemy within, facilitating the globalism’s plan to collapse America from within, which means America is also at war with itself. So, besides being unprepared to win a foreign war, the far greater question for me is, can America win the domestic war the Biden regime is waging against Americans in America?

By Daniel Greenfield,  30.10.22

For the first time the Heritage Foundation’s index of American military strength has ranked us as ‘weak’. The index warns that the Army “remains ‘weak’ in capacity with only 62 percent of the force it should have”. And even the Army has admitted that it has missed its recruiting target by 10,000 personnel which is expected to climb to over 20,000 by the end of the next fiscal year.

Netanyahu’s peace plan with the Saudis may also end the Arab-Israel conflict  

If Netanyahu becomes Israel’s next PM, the end of the Arab-Israeli conflict could be realized via peace with the Saudis..Op-ed.

Dry Bones – Bibi considers the new Saudi PlanY. Kirschen

Israel’s Leader of the Opposition Benjamin Netanyahu has broken his silence – giving his nod of approval to examining the Saudi-proposed Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (Saudi Solution) :

“I think the big prize is peace with Saudi Arabia, which I intend to achieve if I go back into office… The rise of Israeli power facilitated the Abraham Accords, and the continual nurturing of Israeli power will also nurture a broader peace with Saudi Arabia and nearly all of the rest of the Arab world. I intend to bring the Arab-Israeli conflict to a close.”

Netanyahu vows to ‘neutralize’ Lebanon deal  

T. Belman. “Neutralize” it ???  A few days ago I wrote to IDSF to not give up on killing the deal. There is no deal . Only a useless US guarantee. It was reported:

“Staging fierce opposition to the agreement before it was signed by Prime Minister Yair Lapid on Thursday, Netanyahu had said the deal was “illegal” and he would not be bound by it.”

One option is to call for a referendum, even now.

Opposition Leader mum on reports Likud working to reach out to Arab voters, promises to maintain status quo on Temple Mount.

Opposition Leader Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that if he elected he would work to “neutralize” Israel’s recently inked maritime border deal with Lebanon, while maintaining the status quo on the Temple Mount.

Ukraine: The right of self-determination supersedes sovereign inviolability  

By Ted Belman

What should take precedence, sovereignty or self-determination in Ukraine? That’s a good question, perhaps the ultimate question.

The West, consisting of US, EU and NATO, answers, sovereignty, of course, while they demonize Putin and provoke him.

They cite the Budapest Memorandum, of 1994 in which signatories, including Russia and the US, committed to ““refrain from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine and undertook to respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing (1994) borders.”, They claim the 2022 Russian invasion violated this fundamental commitment.

US guarantees of the Israel-Lebanon accord: lasting or a mirage?  

All US guarantees ensure the interests of the guarantor. not the guaranteed Israel is repeating past mistakes. Op-ed.

By Amb. (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, INN

The US-engineered and brokered Israel-Lebanon (Hezbollah) maritime/gas accord includes (in section 4) US guarantees. It aims to reassure both parties, especially Israel: “The United States intends to exert its best efforts working with the Parties to help establish and maintain a positive and constructive atmosphere for conducting discussions and successfully resolving any differences as rapidly as possible.”

Is that a reassuring commitment?

Israel is Fighting to Prevent a Third Intifada  

T. Belman. It is not enough for Israel to knock down the terrorists but it must also give them a drubbing they will never recover from. Our response should not be to restore calm but to kill all hope in the leadership and the terrorists they support, of ever succeeding.

Palestinian terrorists target buses, cafes, and nightclubs – leaving a scar on the Israeli psyche.

On Tuesday Israeli forces killed five Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank including Wadee al-Houh, leader of a new terror group, the Lion’s Den. The battle was part of Operation Breakwater, the biggest IDF operation in the West Bank since the Second Intifada. The sustained violence and mounting Palestinian casualties have some media outlets to speculating that Israel may be on the verge of a third intifada.

CDC Officials Told They Spread Misinformation but Still Didn’t Issue Correction: Emails  

By Zachary Stieber, EPOCH TIMES   29.10.22

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials were alerted that they spread misinformation about child COVID-19 deaths but still did not issue corrections, according to emails obtained by The Epoch Times.

Drs. Katherine Fleming-Dutra and Sara Oliver were told within days of presenting to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, in June that statistics from a preprint study they shared were wrong, the emails show. But after internal discussion about how to respond, neither the CDC nor the officials corrected the false information.

Policies of Religious Zionist – What’s not to like?  

By Ted Belman

Israel Elections: Which parties are running, what are their policies?  

Strangely no party according to this article has any policy having to do with changing the status quo on the Temple Mount, destroying illegal construction, holding Israel officials accountable for policies relating to the pandemic, and extending Israel law to anything more than the settlements.
