If you do not embrace, with both arms, that Leftists and RINOs use a multi-faceted, 40 years-in-the-making, industrial-scale voter fraud system, centering on voter roll tampering and manipulation, aided by elected officials, NGOs, protected by the mainstream press and conservative controlled opposition, you cannot be part of its remediation.

This week, we have a glaring example of the Republican money-gathering class demonstrating how clueless it is about this reality.

Neither Here Nor There: Jordan and the Abraham Accords

Sorry, Jonathan, you got this one wrong ” While Jordanian officials may not say so explicitly, the animosity harbored by Jordan’s Palestinian population toward Israel has a significant influence on the kingdom’s foreign policies. ”  Nope. Jordan’s Palestinian majority hates the Hashemites with a passion and has not had much care or concern for the Palestinian cause. Evidence? The regime state media itself calls for pro-Palestine events, and facilitates protests in front of the Israeli embassy, despite the Palestinians making up more than 90% of the 10 million population, less than 1000 show up. What does this tell you?

Attendees at the 2022 J Street Policy Conference Room looks empty

J Street is a far-left wing extremist group which markets itself as “pro-Israel, pro-peace” to confuse the uninformed that it is something bipartisan and mainstream. It has never been anything of the sort as it made plainly clear again.

J Street is openly partisan. It only endorses Democrats and only pours money into Democratic campaigns every election cycle. There is nothing wrong with that, a counterpoint to the Republican Jewish Coalition, but the RJC doesn’t market itself disingenuously.

The Middle East witnessed remarkable change in August and September 2020 with the Abraham Accords. It began with decisions taken by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain to enter into peace agreements with Israel. Sudan and Morocco followed soon thereafter.[1] Seemingly overnight, a rare sense of optimism washed over the Middle East.

These agreements were certainly not the first of their kind. In 1979, Egypt made peace with Israel. In 1993, the Palestinians entered the Oslo diplomatic process with Israel, initiating more than a decade of attempted peacemaking. In 1994, Jordan made its own peace with Israel.

Former Netanyahu ally crafting plan to create internal dissent on the Right, crippling Netanyahu’s new government.

Israel National News   Dec 9, 2022,

Zeev ElkinHadas Parush/Flash90

According to a report in Ma’ariv, a plan is being hatched among the incoming Opposition aimed at sowing chaos in the new Netanyahu government.

According to the report, two senior members of the opposition – secretary of the Yesh Atid faction, MK Boaz Toporovsky and the National Union Camp’s Ze’ev Elkin – a former Likud lawmaker and Netanyahu ally – are drawing up a “Total War” plan which aims to disrupt the formation of the government during the legislative stages of the “Deri, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich laws.”

The first thing one sees after crossing the Qalandiya checkpoint from Jerusalem en route to Ramallah is a huge mural of Marwan Barghouti, the imprisoned Fatah leader who is seen by many Palestinians as the successor to Mahmoud Abbas. Next to Barghouti’s portrait is that of the late Yasser Arafat. Placing these two figures together implies an obvious unity; both are revered for their struggles against Israel. According to a recent poll conducted in September of Palestinians, if there were presidential elections for the Palestinian Authority and Mahmoud Abbas did not run for election, Barghouti would receive 41% of the votes; Ismail Haniya, the international leader of Hamas, would receive 17%; ex-Fatah leader Muhammad Dahlan—5%; the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya al-Sinwar—4%; and Abbas’s confidant Hussein al-Sheikh—only 2%.

The American television series was called “The Twilight Zone” written by and hosted by one Rod Serling. It was a long time ago but I remember it like it was yesterday.

The meaning of “Twilight Zone” according to Your Dictionary is “the mental state between reality and fantasy” or “An area of ambiguity between two distinct states or conditions” So, Serling’s dramas told stories of weird events and alternate worlds.

Since the Zionist narrative has demonstrable validity over the irreconcilable, mutually-exclusive counter-narrative of the Palestinian-Arabs, it is the Zionist narrative that must prevail

At the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lies a clash of two narratives. On the one hand the stirring, fact-based Zionist narrative, on the other, the openly conceded fabricated “Palestinian” narrative—which as one senior PLO official openly admitted “serves only tactical purposes”, and whose sole purpose is to function as “a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel.”

Manama hints during president’s visit that it needs to see more from its economic relationship with Israel, while unlikely signs of hope emerge in next-door Qatar

Shortly after President Isaac Herzog’s Arkia charter flight took off Monday evening from Abu Dhabi for his journey back to Israel, the plane contacted Saudi air traffic controllers and made its way northeast.

The presidential flight over Saudi Arabian airspace is a tangible sign of the progress Israel has made in a region that rejected overt cooperation for decades. Since the 2020 Abraham Accords normalization agreements, Saudi Arabia has allowed Israeli airlines to use its airspace for flights to and from signatories United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, and over the summer announced it would open its skies to all Israeli commercial flights.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government has yet to be sworn in, but there are already signs of conflict with the European Union. MEP Evin Incir of Sweden expressed opposition to the advancement of an intelligence-sharing agreement between the Israel Police and Europol organization, citing the composition of Israel’s future government. She says Israel’s police must not be allowed to use intelligence from Europe in the territories.

Israel is one of the few countries whose fundamental character is imperiled. But the main threat is no longer external: it is the internal schism between the Haredi minority—the Ultra-Orthodox—and the rest of society that has the greatest potential to change the country at its the core.

The March 23 election could emerge as an inflection point because Haredi behavior during the coronavirus pandemic has underscored divisions, deepened mutual disdain, and convinced many Israelis things cannot continue as they are. There is a clamor for change.

T.Belman. The only hope I see is for the Israeli center to replace the the Hareidi as Likud’s coalition partner. For instance if the center supported the agenda of the Right in its policies regarding Area C and identity , then it would be a viable partner of the Right who could then be less giving to the Haredim.

T. Belman. Horovitz clearly sets out Smotrich’s power and Bibi’s right to restrain him, if he can. How this will work in practice, I don’t know. If Smotrich and Bibi reach an impasse such as in E1, the winner will be the one ready to break up the government and go to new elections on the issue.

Bottom line is, Smotrich will force Bibi to stand up to more international pressure than he would like to.

Biden will have to decide how much pressure he should apply to Israel to keep the TSS alive during the upcoming US election season and during the rebellion of Europe regarding the Ukraine War.

And finally, how much pain is Israel willing to endure in exchange for Area C?

An extraordinary coalition deal gives the Religious Zionism leader ‘full responsibility’ in the biblical Judea and Samaria he seeks to annex, with only Netanyahu to hold him back

By DAVID HOROVITZ, TOI

Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu, right, and Religious Zionism party leader Bezalel Smotrich shake hands after signing a coalition deal in Jerusalem on December 1, 2022. (Likud)

In its four pages of closely typed text, the coalition “appendix” deal signed and released earlier this week by Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud and Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party confers upon Smotrich what amounts to the prime ministership of the West Bank. Or rather, as Smotrich would most definitely term it, of the biblical Judea and Samaria.
