Israel’s Boasting Defies Reality: There’s No Military Option on Iran  

T. Belman. This article challenges everything we are being told about the fight over the bomb. What truth is there in it?

It even goes so far as to argue that the JCPOA 1 and 2 are better than nothing.

Unlike the Iraqi and Syrian reactors, Iran’s nuclear program is dispersed among many facilities, some well underground. Lacking bunker busters, Israel’s government should not mislead the public

By Yossi Melman, HAARETZ

Almost 35 years ago, toward the end of its war with Iraq, Iran decided to relaunch the nuclear program it initiated in the ‘60s under the shah with assistance, according to foreign reports, from Israel. The program had been frozen in 1980, not long after the Islamic Revolution, when the Iraqi army invaded Iran, then led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

The decision to return to the nuclear track, and also develop ballistic missiles, was the most important lesson Iran learned from its traumatic war with its neighbor. During that conflict, Saddam Hussein’s army used chemical weapons without any response from the West.

A Deal Based on Lies: The Iran Nuclear Agreement Will Make War More Likely  

by Richard Kemp, GATESTONE  •  September 1, 2022

  • These are the effects of the proposed nuclear deal brokered by the EU, Russia and China. Why is it brokered by the EU, Russia and China? Because the United States was outrageously banned from direct negotiations by Tehran. It is not outrageous that Iran demanded it, but that the US tolerated its own exclusion.
  • [T]he deal that is about to emerge will be even worse [than the 2015 deal]. The argument of the “bad” dealers is that it buys time for the West, with Micawberish optimism that “something will turn up”. This thinking is clear from President Biden’s preposterous hope that he can “lengthen and strengthen” the deal once it has been struck.

Glick: Israel is on its own against Iran  

By Caroline Glick 


Goldberg was a senior official in the National Security Council during the Trump administration. Among other things, he was charged with dealing with Iran.

(JNS) It now seems all but certain that U.S. President Joe Biden will conclude his deal with Iran. In this scenario, Israel cannot expect any significant assistance from the United States in diminishing its dangers. Israel also cannot expect to change American policy in any substantive way until after a different president is elected. This is regardless of the results of the midterm elections.

MK Yoav Kisch: The whole truth about Ayelet Shaked  

T. Belman. Shaked kept saying she didn’t want a “narrow” government and wanted a “broad” government. She also would not rule out a Netanyahu led government. This reminded me of the government that Netanyahu formed in 2013 in which Bennett forced him to include Lapid and thus achieve a “broad” government.

I set up an interview with Jeremy Saltan who is closely associated with Shaked to see if what I was hearing and fearing was correct. Afterward, Pollard ended the controversy,  I saw that there was no need for the interview.

This article cements it.

Shaked managed to connect with the centers of power in the media that hide the great damage she is doing and has done to the right.

I guess if Shaked reads this post, her way to fight back would be to put the post in the “incitement machine” or “dark forces” category. I need to note that everything written here is from a direct personal acquaintance and therefore it is the simple truth.

Ayelet Shaked was the great promise of the right. The greater the expectation, the deeper the fall. In the last year, I have fought together with Yariv Levin and many other friends against this evil leftist government.

Women Are Disproportionately Hurting Our Country   

For those who associate women with instinctively protecting children or with being supportive of a traditionally religious life, this era in American history has provided something of a shock.

By    30.8.22

When I was in college, I read a book by George Gilder, one of the wisest thinkers of the last half-century, titled Naked Nomads, which had a deep impact on me. It was about single men and all the pathologies associated with them. For example, Gilder drove home the point that the biggest factor concerning violent crime was that it is overwhelmingly committed by single men.

While there was no danger—I would say no chance—that I would commit a violent crime (though I was, at the time, single), this fact along with others in the book made me a lifelong advocate of marriage.

Biden’s Unconstitutional and Delusional Decrees, Mandates, and Orders  

By Allen West, TOWNHALL

There is no debate that the current Biden administration, actually Obama’s third term, is potentially the most unconstitutional presidential administration we have seen. The disregard for our rule of law is evident in the disregard of the Constitution’s guarantee clause, Article IV, Section 4 when it comes to the open borders policy of Biden.

Last week we witnessed yet another act of blatant overreach of executive power in our system of governance. When Joe Biden stepped forth and issued his decree that he was forgiving student loan debt, he far exceeded his constitutional enumerated powers. Show me where the president, according to the Constitution, has the enumerated power to relieve individual contractual debt and use taxpayer funds as the means of payoff. This goes along the lines of the government issuing edicts from a federal agency that individual rental contractual obligations did not have to be honored…which the Supreme Court ruled against.

Israel’s pivot away from China towards India signals understanding of US concerns  

Washington’s influence, coupled with the Abraham Accords, have lent a tailwind to Israel-India relations, say experts.

BY ISRAEL KASNETT

 Under pressure from Washington, Israel appears to be slowly withdrawing from its business relationship with China, while simultaneously building one with India.

According to Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), over the last two years, the United States has been urging Israel to decouple from China.

Sam Millner, a policy analyst for the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), noted earlier this month that the United States “has increasingly raised concerns about China’s growing role in Israel’s critical infrastructure and hi-tech sectors, including the threats… to Israeli security, prosperity and strategic cooperation with Washington,” a role which Beijing “has exploited at times to enhance its military, intelligence and domestic surveillance capabilities.”

Seven Dead Doctors in 14 Days Don’t Lie  

Does this seem normal to you?

By Wayne Allyn Root, FPM

Have you ever heard of seven doctors dead in a 14-day period (from July 13 through July 28)? How about five dead doctors in a few days, in one city (Toronto)? How about 14 dead doctors in the past nine months? And these dead doctors were mostly YOUNG.

Do these headlines catch your attention? Because they’re all true. Confirmed. Fact. It all just happened in Canada, a small country of 30 million (one-tenth the size of America).

In Canada they’re obsessed with the COVID-19 vaccine. The government is ruthless to the point of appearing criminally insane. If you don’t get vaccinated, it’s difficult to live a normal life. And you absolutely can’t practice medicine anywhere in Canada.

Jonathan Pollard retracts endorsement of Ayelet Shaked  

 Shaked will not commit to establishing only a right-wing govt 

Ayelet Shaked and Jonathan PollardIsrael National News

Jonathan Pollard has retracted his endorsement of Zionist Spirit leader Ayelet Shaked.

Pollard wrote to Israel National News-Arutz Sheva Tuesday evening that “after the things I said regarding Ayelet Shaked this morning, it became clear to me that she refuses to remove Yoaz Hendel from her list and to commit that she will only join a right-wing government. This raises a real concern that she will once again transfer votes from the right to the left. Therefore, I retract my support for her.”

Israel’s Rational and Irrational Iran Poilicies  

Faced with a nuclear deal that hamstrings the IAEA and massively enriches the Islamic Republic, transforming it into a nuclear-armed regional power, Jerusalem must now make a choice.

 

(JNS) As news emerged last week that the United States and Iran are on the verge of concluding a new nuclear deal, Israelis were given two very different interpretations of events. Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz, along with their media flacks, responded by insisting that although the deal is bad, Lapid and Gantz are handling it like pros and reducing the damage in profound ways.

How do climate doomsayers explain the current state of Arctic ice?  

By Vijay Jayaraj, AM THINKER

With ice coverage for July and August remaining above the ten-year average of 2010–20, the extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic has surprised experts who once predicted that such levels would be impossible.

This stands in stark contrast to the dominant climate narrative that predicts the dwindling of summer ice in the Arctic.  Some politicians had even claimed that parts of the Arctic would be ice-free by now.

Iran Tells the Truth About Inspections and the Nuclear Deal  

Tehran says there will be no agreement unless the U.S. calls off U.N. monitors searching for illegal uranium enrichment.

By The Editorial Board, WSJ

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi speaks during a press conference in Tehran, Aug. 29.

Give Tehran credit for candor, of a sort. The Biden Administration and European allies are desperate to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran to replace the 2015 Obama-era pact, and the Iranian regime is being honest that it won’t abide by whatever inspections come with that deal.

The latest evidence comes from a rare press conference held Monday by President Ebrahim Raisi. Speaking about the prospects for a new deal and a meeting with President Biden, the Iranian said, “Without settlement of safeguard issues, speaking about an agreement has no meaning.” By “safeguard issues,” he means the International Atomic Energy Agency’s attempts to investigate likely breaches of Iran’s nuclear commitments dating to the early 2000s.

A New Middle East  

By  Major General (res.) Yaakov Amidror, The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS)

Changing Israel’s relationship with Arab countries is vital for its regional legitimacy, but it is also in the best interests of the Arab world. Sunni Arab countries want relations with Israel to create a safer region and better tools to deal with the complex reality they face after the “Arab Spring,” in the face of Iranian aggression and American hesitancy.

During a series of lectures and talks in several European countries about the impact of the Abraham Accords on the region, a member of the European Union’s parliament told me, “The truth is that we do not understand what is going on in your Middle East, and more than that, we do not know what has changed there.”

Jewish Israeli voters have moved significantly rightward in recent years, data shows  

Percentage of those who identify as right-wing has grown from 46% in 2019 to 62% now, with both center and left shrinking

By CARRIE KELLER-LYNN, TOI      29 August 2022,

Israel’s right-wing Jewish voter base has grown from 46 percent before the April 2019 election to 62% now, ahead of November’s vote, according to an analysis of self-reported political affiliation by the Israel Democracy Institute.

The growth has been mostly at the expense of the political center, although the left has also taken a dip.
