_{The administration backs the Israeli left’s campaign to thwart the will of Israeli voters.}

(JNS) The Movement for Quality Government (MQG) in Israel is the far-left organization at the epicenter of the Israeli left’s war against the Netanyahu government. MQG began its current campaign of delegitimization, subversion and demonization immediately after the Netanyahu government was sworn into office on Dec. 29. The next day, MQG petitioned the Supreme Court to prevent Shas leader Aryeh Deri from serving as a minister in the government.

“If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.” Shylock.

If you provoke the bear and it gets angry, who should you blame? Yourself or the bear?

I recently commented;

“I chose to put the spotlight on the US rather than on Russia to counter the spin put on the Ukraine conflict by the west. In doing so we all got educated more fully on the facts and realities. That’s a good thing.

Atlantic Magazine recently wrote about Vladamir Putin, “He is threatening to invade Ukraine because he wants democracy to fail.” This opinion has been shared by a remarkable array of experts.

The idea that Putin is afraid of Ukrainian democracy is absurd. Regretfully, Ukraine has been a tragic setback for America’s democratic aspirations in the region.

T. Belman.  How can TOI write this report without mentioning that Russia has agreed to sell advanced SU-35 fighter jets to Iran.  The jets are a far bigger threat to Israel that the defensive stuff Israel is selling to Ukraine.

At Russia’s request, the UN Security Council discussed strikes in Syria attributed to Israel, a sign of a hardening in rhetoric from Moscow toward Jerusalem, Channel 13 news reported Friday.

The Security Council discussion came after a report Israel has authorized the sale of defensive military equipment to Kyiv for the first time since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Failing to create an impossible new society, the joyless left are destroying the old one

Last Moments of the Girondins; Karl von Piloty, 1880

In a column this week for The Times (£) of London, Will Lloyd, a journalist at the left-wing New Statesman magazine, bemoans the miserabilism of the left. As he points out, the association of the left with anxiety, joylessness and neuroticism has been documented by many studies.

Not content with fueling street demonstrations against Bibi in Tel Aviv, the Biden administration looks to ‘Lebanonize’ Israel with a new, U.S.-funded terror army

By Tony Badran, TABLET

While the Biden administration has been busy encouraging and funding the Israeli protest movement against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposed judicial reforms, it has also launched a far more potentially dangerous and lethal attempt to destabilize the leading military power in the Middle East. The wave of domestic protests in Israel comes on the heels of the most deadly series of Palestinian terror attacks since the end of the Second Intifada. Incredibly, the U.S. is now proposing to take advantage of its ally’s political weakness by standing up a potential 5,000-man Palestinian terror army that would ostensibly fight terrorism in the West Bank in place of the IDF.

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) denounces, in the strongest possible terms, the Biden Administration’s unconscionable, illegal plan to provide commando training in Jordan to 5,000 Palestinian-Arab army of terrorists or future terrorists; and to then equip and deploy this Palestinian-Arab commando army in Judea/Samaria, along with foreign and U.S. forces.

A year ago, I wrote The Conspiracy to Shrink Israel in which I made the case by quoting from a number of sources, that the US was party to the conspiracy and its leader.

Now my leftist, Zionist, friend, Ami Isseroff has added to my evidence and drove the point home in his article, Understanding the obvious: U.S. policy toward Israel.

Isseroff cites considerable evidence which you shouldn’t miss and then concludes:

The Israel Lobby is getting a lot of attention these days and antisemites complain that Israel is the largest recipient of US aid in the world, like Israel was a costly liability. They argue for cancelling the aid. I thought I would put it in perspective.

Proponents of withdrawal both before Gaza and now, argue that it will save money. They also argued that Israel will be more secure, but that’s another story.

Olmert has gone so far as to say that Kadima will no longer spend money on the settlements east of the fence. [N ow he destroys the settlements.] In so doing he is reinforcing the message that the settlements and or the occupation are a financial burden, a waste of money that could be better spent on Israelis rather then settlers. Fair enough, but where is the proof? What are the facts?

Israel, as a sovereign nation, is more than capable of executing its own electorally-mandated policies — or so one would think. Not so fast.

As fully evidenced within recent analyses regarding the interference/funding by America’s powerful left, to thwart long overdue, righteous judicial reform in Israel — found here, here, and here — similarly, the leftist junta in control of America’s educational apparatus has captured Israel’s school system too. Mind you, even the State religious system (where most Jewish national religious parents send their children) cannot escape the left’s infection. Tentacled grasp.

A peer-reviewed paper initially approved and praised by a prestigious academic journal was suddenly rescinded without explanation. Its author, one of the world’s top scholars on Ukraine-related issues, had marshaled overwhelming evidence to conclude Maidan protesters were killed by pro-coup snipers.

Here are 20 conveniently overlooked facts that give some perspective to the current Middle East situation. These were compiled by a Christian university professor…..

1. Israel became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., TWO thousand years before the RISE of Islam.
2. Arab refugees began identifying themselves as PART of a Palestinian people in 1967, TWO decades AFTER the establishment of the modern STATE of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 B.C.E, the Jews had dominion OVER the LAND for ONE thousand years with a continuous PRESENCE in the LAND for the past 3,300 years.

The Arabs cry out for justice.  The Jews cry out for security.

The Arabs demand their rights, even non-existent rights like the “right of return”.  The Jews have forgotten they have any rights.

As a result, the world considers the Palestinians as oppressed and the Israelis as the oppressors.

Recently, Tony Blair delivered a speech in Chicago on Global Affairs in which he said,
