The “peace process” is now, after some 20 years after OSLO, is known to be no more than a charade. The revelations of the highest ranking Soviet bloc defector, Major General Ion Mihai Pacepa, show that the peace process is, and has from the outset, been nothing but a charade.
It all started with the creation of a fictitious “Palestinian People” who allegedly demand political self determination. This collective noun was created by the Soviet disinformation masters in 1964 when they created the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the “PLO”. The term “Palestinian People” as a descriptive of Arabs in Palestine appeared for the first time in the preamble of the 1964 PLO Charter, drafted in Moscow. The facts in the preamble to the Charter were affirmed onlyh by the first 422 members of the Palestinian National Council, handpicked by the KGB.

T. Belman. I have consistently opined that Europe and Russia must amalgamate. The US would hate this and that’s why we have the Ukraine War. The US wants Europe dependant on the US and not Russia.

The attempt of some vocal members of the far left to suggest that being pro-Palestinian is a progressive value is an inversion of reality. The vast majority of Palestinian Arab society and leadership is systematically regressive, racist, homophobic, misogynistic and corrupt.

Across the globe, election campaigns seem to bring out both the best and the worst in those seeking or holding public office. Amid the torrent of words that are deployed to persuade the electorate, it is easy to find catchy slogans alongside bold promises, as well as sketchy assertions mixed in with occasional gaffes.
But every once in a while, a politician delivers a real howler, uttering something so patently absurd that it almost defies rational explanation.
In the 9th Oct 22 edition of Israel’s good news, the highlights include:

Now comes OPEC+, an alliance of the 23-member OPEC members and independent oil producers, most notably Russia – an alliance against American interests. It decides to slash oil output by 2 million barrels a day, estimated at 2 percent of daily global consumption. OPEC accounts for around 82 percent of global oil reserves and 40 percent of production, excluding Russia and the United States, the largest producer and consumer.

An explosion caused the partial collapse of a bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula with Russia on Saturday, damaging a key supply artery for the Kremlin’s faltering war effort in southern Ukraine. Russian authorities said a truck bomb caused the blast and that three people were killed.[/caption]
The speaker of Crimea’s Kremlin-backed regional parliament immediately accused Ukraine of being behind the explosion, though Moscow didn’t apportion blame. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly threatened to strike the bridge and some lauded the destruction. Kyiv stopped short of claiming responsibility, though officials heavily hinted they were behind the attack.

PARIS — Schoolgirls chanted slogans, workers went on strike and street clashes erupted across Iran on Saturday, as protests over the death of Mahsa Amini entered a fourth week in defiance of a bloody crackdown.
Anger flared after the 22-year-old Iranian Kurd’s death on September 16, three days after she was arrested in Tehran by the notorious morality police for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.

Here is my list of nearly 100 indicators that the “safe and effective” narrative is falling apart.
It is a devastating list.
And for some reason, nobody wants to fact check me on it.
It will take you 42 minutes to read everything which is too long for most people, so feel free to pick and choose what you read to get a sense for the entire list.
T. Belman. I recently posted On the Legitimacy of the Settlements: A Legal and Historical Perspective It contained an argument by Lorejnzo Kamel, a Harvard scholar, and a rebuttal by Salomon Benzimra, the author of The Jewish Peoples Rights to the Land of Israel,
This post by Wallace Brand, Harvard Law, is also in response.
One other thought. The beneficiary of the Palestine Mandate was the “Jewish people” rather than the Jews of Palestine. In part this was to enfranchise all the Jews, not just those in Palestine, thereby creating a majority.
By Wallace Brand (published on Dec 8, 2015)
A few months after the Ottoman Empire joined Germany in World War 1 in 1914 by attacking Russian ships, Herbert Samuel, a British Zionist, later appointed as the first Commissioner of the British Mandate in Palestine, recognized this was likely an opportunity to obtain a Jewish Palestine. But he decided that there were too few Jews in the population in Palestine at that time for immediate statehood to be practical. Although in the Jerusalem area the Jews were two thirds the total population, in the Palestine territory as a whole they only numbered about 100,000 or about one sixth the total of perhaps 600,000 Arab Muslims and Christians.
Herbert Samuel, a British Jew who had risen high in the British Labor Government wrote in a memo to the British War Cabinet entitled “The Future of Palestine”: If Palestine were to be open to unrestricted Jewish immigration, it might become a Jewish majority state. How could they become a Jewish majority state? It would need a majority to be able to command obedience from the Arab ethnic population; also a larger population to protect the state against Arabs or other enemies external to the state. A failed Jewish state might set back Zionism for 100 years.

Dr. Jordan Peterson, the Canadian psychologist, and owner of one of the most listened-to podcasts in the world said last night (Thursday), while he tearfully pleaded with those present in the International Convention Center in Jerusalem to protect the holy city.
Peterson said: “As Jews in Israel, are you telling the greatest story ever told? Well, you decide that by how you live. And what you do will affect the world – for one reason or another, it’s not so easy to understand, everyone looks here to see, well, how are you actually doing, under this tremendous assault of adversarial criticism, as this little, tiny people in the middle of no man’s land in some real sense, as a -what would you say – cardinal model of the nation-state and the city on the hill.”

There are lots of types of wars and conflicts, and many examples of victories and defeats throughout history.
What all of them have in common is that they end when one side gives up and realizes it can not achieve its war aims.
The strategy of the Arab violent rejectionist war against the Jewish people’s right to self-determination, which is now well into its second century, has not dramatically changed throughout the decades, despite the ever-evolving tactics. It is simply to end the idea of Jewish national sovereignty anywhere in its indigenous and ancestral homeland.

The America First Legal Foundation (AFL) has sued fourteen federal agencies for concealing a secretive Biden regime plan to take over election administration ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
In March of 2021, Joe Biden signed Executive Order 14019, “P romoting Access to Voting,” which called for all 600 federal agencies to submit to a “Strategic Plan” to “expand access to voter registration and election information.”
