This is the introduction to a collection of essays, Israeli Views on Victory.

When formulating the Israel Victory idea in the late 1990s (and first writing about it in April 2001), it seemed as distant as the moon. But now, the combination of a more realistic Israeli body politic and Arab states focused on the Iranian threat brings it within reach. Therefore, its implications need to be worked out in some detail. That is the goal of this pamphlet.

Violence broke out between Palestinian Authority security forces and armed factions in the West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday with gunfights erupting on city streets.

The fights began late Monday night when 53-year-old Firas Yaish was shot dead by Palestinian Authority security forces in clashes that continued into the morning with local militias. PA forces used gunfire, tear gas and other protest dispersal means in an attempt to stop the violent riots.

A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has concluded that the mRNA Covid-19 injections destroy the natural immune system.

The study backs up months of work conducted by the team here at The Expose analysing official Government data in which we uncovered severe immune system degradation among the vaccinated population that worsens by the week, suggesting the vaccinated are developing some new form of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

Excessive governmental intervention in our daily lives, political correctness and “woke” terminology, the breakdown of law enforcement and the judicial system, and rampant entitlement for all, other than those who are “white”, have become the norm. Progressive politicians are at the vanguard of the assault on common sense values and principles that we grew up with. An ever growing majority of Americans, Europeans, and Israelis are waking up to the realization that this assault by progressive forces has made our lives unbearable; rampant inflation, misguided energy policies, crime and fear on the streets, dysfunctional schools, and the rejection of traditional values have all contributed to the demise of what was once a common future and the idea that we are creating a better world for our children.

In 2021 alone, both the size and volume of investments in the Israeli tech ecosystem grew exponentially. Some $25.6b. was invested in Israeli tech start-ups.

I’ve always been amazed by Israeli innovation, and obsessed with the incredible technologies and start-ups incubated by such a small country.

But starting around 2014, I heard more and more Israeli venture capitalists start to wonder, “Why do we keep selling good technologies instead of building great companies? Why don’t we let our winners run?”

On their second anniversary, it can be said that the Abraham Accords constitute an ideological breakthrough of biblical magnitude.

By  David M. Weinberg

The beauty of the Abraham Accords is that they are marked by warm friendships, backed by a discourse of genuine tolerance and ideological moderation. This is even more important than the burgeoning trade and amazing defense relationships with the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco.

In repeated visits to the Gulf, my Arab interlocutors have emphasized that they seek nothing less than to redefine the identity and global image of Arab Muslims and that they see Israel’s blending of tradition with enlightenment as a role model for this.

WINNIPEG – David Matas, B’nai Brith Canada’s Senior Legal Counsel and a world-renowned human-rights activist, recently penned an op-ed arguing that Israel’s closure of several Palestinian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) was justified.

In October 2022, Israel closed six organizations – al?Haq, Addameer, Defense for Children International ? Palestine, the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees, the Union of Agriculture Work Committees, and the Bisan Center for Research and Development, after having designated them as terrorist groups.  Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz has stated that the organizations assisted in raising funds for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) by forgery and fraud. The PFLP has been designated a terrorist organization by Canada and Israel, among other countries, for its deadly assaults against innocents.

According to those privy to the negotiations, officials may use legal maneuvers so that the talks only deal with “marking of a border” rather than the “setting a border” so as to avoid triggering a national referendum.

By  Ariel Kahana, IH

Israeli negotiators tasked with resolving the ongoing dispute with Lebanon on the maritime border near the Israeli gas field Karish have been exploring the possibility of having the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet hold a secret vote on any final deal before it is presented to the public, Israel Hayom has learned from sources who are close to the negotiations.

T. Belman. This article ignores the possibility that Jewish Home will reach the threshold..  I think Bibi will make sure they do by sending them some of Likud’s supporters to vote for it.

Notice Sa’ar is insisting on a Gantz-led unity government.

Justice minister says that even after splitting from the more hardline Balad, party heads Odeh and Tibi have ‘extremist’ views; says only option is Gantz-led broad unity government

TOI

Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar vowed Sunday that his center-right National Unity party will not form a coalition with a narrow majority that relies on Arab-majority party Hadash-Ta’al, even after they parted ways with the more extreme Balad party.

The ripple effects of the move may push one of the blocs over the 61-seat threshold, but it is not clear yet which one it benefits.

By ELIAV BREUER, JPOST

The dramatic split at the last minute late on Thursday night between the Joint List‘s Hadash-Ta’al and Balad could end up being one of the most important occurrences of the election.

The ripple effects of the move may push one of the blocs over the 61-seat threshold, but it is not clear yet which one it benefits.

Prior to the split, the Joint List was a union of three parties: The socialist-communist Hadash, led by MK Ayman Odeh; Arab-nationalist Balad, led by MK Sami Abou Shahadeh; and Ta’al, led by MK Ahmad Tibi, which, ideologically, is somewhere between the other two.

This article looks at different theories. Sadly, Putin is a dictator with nationalist fantasies trying to maintain power via a war. Author Sorn even discusses but rejects Mearsheimer’s “blame the West & U.S. ” view for NATO encroachment.

Was Putin/Russia with a greater number of nuclear ICBMs than anyone else really worried about being invaded by NATO? Apparently Gorbachev denied that the West ever promised not to expand NATO eastward. On the other hand, Russia violated many assurances of peaceful coexistence with the West, most egregiously by not recognizing or respecting Ukrainian sovereignty and borders in exchange for repatriation of the legacy Soviet nuclear weapons on Ukrainian soil. I bet the Ukrainians would love a “do over” on that one.

Reflecting on the country’s last 15 presidencies, from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Joe Biden, conservative radio legend Michael Savage argued that Biden is the “worst” president to lead the country during his lifetime, claiming a “criminal enterprise [is] running the country,” while highlighting the current border crisis, the recent Afghanistan withdrawal, the return to energy dependence, and the “authoritarian” COVID-19 mandate.

Detailing “the good, the bad, and the ugly” aspects of the presidents who ruled America over the last several decades, Savage weighed in on today’s issues during his latest podcast.

On September 12, 2022 Arutz 7 reported “A Jewish shepherd was attacked by an Arab armed with a hoe near the settlement of Ma’on in southern Mount Hebron.  The victim was seriously injured. He was treated by Magen David Adom staff and evacuated to Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva.  According to a security source, dozens of Palestinian Arabs were involved in the incident where the shepherd was attacked. The police are investigating the circumstances of the incident.   MDA paramedic Elyashiv Ameti said: “The injured man suffered from a severe bleeding head injury and was in a state of semi-consciousness. We gave him initial medical treatment that included drug treatment, oxygen administration and dressing the wound and evacuated him to the hospital while his condition was serious and stable.”  Mount Hebron Regional Council chairman Yochay Damry said that “this is an attempted murder. I demand that the security forces act decisively against the perpetrators, and restore deterrence and security to the residents and the region.”
