THIS IS MORE FUN THAN A BARREL OF MONKEYS

T. Belman.  I totally agree.

For several election cycles, it seems the main concern of those debating the issues has been, and remains, yes-Bibi versus no-Bibi. And they insist that Ayelet Shaked, leader of the newly constituted Zionist Spirit (ZS) party, join everyone in addressing that matter clearly and directly.

However, that is the wrong issue going forward. The real issue is yes-Gantz versus no-Gantz. Because everyone seems to be caught up in the question about Bibi, the question about Gantz is not raised and his strength seems to grow with every passing day.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) colluded with big tech monopolies to censor users—including dissenting medical doctors and scientists—who criticized the experimental COVID-19 “vaccines,” a trove of internal communications obtained by America First Legal (AFL) reveal.

The CDC released 286-pages of documents to the group in response to a freedom of information act (FOIA) request. AFL said in a press release that the records “reveal the extent to which the Biden Administration is willing to engage in unconstitutional and otherwise unlawful activities in total disregard for the rights of American citizens.”

Americans have gotten very comfortable thinking that 9/11 is in the rearview mirror and that after Afghanistan and Iraq, we’ve done enough and we don’t have to think about it anymore. Islamic terrorist plots keep happening and migration is changing the country’s demographics. Mehmet Oz’s GOP/MAGA Senate nomination in PA has been a political game changer that has mostly flown under the radar. Gitmo is being emptied. We think we’ve won when actually we’re losing. Badly.

Kurt Vonnegut’s Welcome to the Monkey House is a collection of 25 short stories, many reflecting Vonnegut’s 1960s belief that the earth was becoming dangerously overpopulated. The eponymous short story anchoring the book imagines America as a place in which old people are encouraged to commit suicide, helped along by beautiful, virginal women. I couldn’t help thinking of that story when I read about the guidebook the Canadian Virtual Hospice has prepared for children aged 6-12. Ostensibly to help children understand a loved one’s death, the book seems to encourage euthanasia as a great “life” option.

• There is no way that you or anyone else could help the Iranian people return to normalcy as long as the present regime is in place in Tehran. A people that finds itself in the hands of a brutal authoritarian regime that claims a divine mandate and is ready to do whatever it takes to remain in power, no holds barred, is beyond help by any outsider with the best of intentions.
• If you help the Islamic Republic improve its economy, the bulk of the proceeds will go to strengthening the apparatus of repression, with the people receiving mere crumbs to keep their mouths shut.

• When presidents and prime ministers make and enforce their own laws under the pretext of “emergency powers,” then citizens should not be surprised when their leaders discover an endless supply of “emergencies” requiring urgent action.
• The opposite of tyranny is not democracy, but rather liberty and individual rights. Is it not startling, then, that Western leaders extol democracy, yet pay such little homage to personal freedoms?

In a leaked copy of his new book, Jared Kushner claims that Netanyahu “responded with less-than-expected enthusiasm” and Trump defined him as “the problem”.

Kushner speaks at the official opening ceremony of the U.S. embassy in JerusaleYonatan Sindel/Flash90

According to former President Trump’s son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner, Trump almost took back the decision to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem following a phone call with former Prime Minister Netanyahu, back in 2017.

The call was reported by The Forward, based on a leaked copy of Kushner’s upcoming book, which was posted online earlier this week by a foreign ministry official from Saudi Arabia.

Supporters of powerful Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr penetrated Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone on Saturday, occupying parliament with no immediate plan to leave.

In a deepening political crisis, it was the second time in days that Sadr supporters have forced their way into the legislative chamber, months after elections that failed to lead to the formation of a government.

Robert D. Kaplan is one of America’s most important foreign policy thinkers.  He currently holds the Robert Strausz-Hupe Chair in Geopolitics at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.  His recent essay in The National Interest, titled “Realism is More Than Restraint,” defines realism in broader terms than have previous writers.  Citing Henry Kissinger and George Kennan, Kaplan writes that realism reconciles “what is considered just with what is considered possible,” while embodying a “particularism” that “comprehends the sheer variety of the world.”  And he argues that international restraint is a component of realism, but, given the world’s interconnectedness, it must be coupled with particularized “international engagement.”

As the Jewish Agency crisis unfolds, Israel should take a leaf out of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s method of dealing with the Russian bear.

By  Ariel Bulshtein, ISRAEL HAYOM    07-28-2022

This week, as Israel was busy with the disturbing downward spiral in ties with Russia, and responses from all directions ran the gamut between “we’ll show them” and “everything is lost,” I did what people here don’t like to do – I looked at others and tried to learn from their experience.

In Israel, others’ experience is often dismissed, and for some reason, people are certain that every question and challenge in this world is unique to us. Of course, the truth is different. We aren’t alone, and many of the problems that concern us are also facing other countries. Moreover, sometimes they even find solutions that work fairly well.

Five months after Russia invaded Ukraine, the war is now reduced to one of attrition. The current dirty, grinding slog is fought mostly with artillery and rockets. Everything from Ukraine’s shopping centers to apartment buildings — and the civilians in them — are Russian targets.

Most outsiders have already forgotten the heroic Ukrainian winter repulse of the botched Russian shock-and-awe effort to sweep into Kyiv, decapitate the government, and declare the eastern half of the country a Russian protectorate within mere days.
