The Real Israelis who elected Ben-Gvir  

T. Belman.  Put another way, Arab rejectionism got Ben Gavir elected.

Itamar Ben-Gvir is a perfectly worthy MK, and he is as qualified to be a cabinet minister as is any other party head or co-head, despite leftist smears. Op-ed.

Rabbi Prof. Dov FischerCourtesy

I previously have published here my strong support for Itamar Ben-Gvir (and Bezalel Smotrich and their Religious Zionism party). I am disgusted by this era’s tactic by leftists in Israel — and in America — to depict their opponents on the right as Nazis.

In Israel they compare Ben-Gvir to Hitler. In America, they compare Donald Trump to Hitler. Interesting:

The conspiracy to shrink Israel  

By Ted Belman  (first published on July 19, 2006)

The Secret War Against the Jews by John Loftus and Mark Aarons was published in 1994. It was sub-titled “How Western Intelligence Betrayed the Jewish People.”

I quote from Deane Rink’s review of this book.

“The modern world begins, the authors suggest, at the end of World War I, when British diplomat/adventurers Jack Philby (father of Soviet spy Kim Philby and legendary Arabist) and Lawrence of Arabia endeavour to unify a bunch of warring Bedouin tribes into nationhood, best represented by Saudi Arabia. Aware that black gold (oil) lies underneath the desert sands, Philby gingerly befriends Ibn Saud, and makes him the first Saudi king. But Philby is not solely interested in empire, even his own British one; he is interested in making money, and forges an alliance with an American intelligence agent in charge of Middle Eastern affairs, Allen Dulles.

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.

Alums for Campus Fairness finds that of all the articles about Israel exhibiting a bias, 181 were themselves biased against the Jewish state.

Between 2017 and 2022, 92.82% of the articles in leading US college newspapers that strayed from journalistic objectivity were anti-Israel, according to a report from Alums for Campus Fairness.

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.
