Ever since Israel introduced a computer worm into Iranian computers that caused more than a thousand Iranian centrifuges to speed up and destroy themselves, in an operation that has entered history as Stuxnet, Israel has been performing acts of derring-do that have, through cyberwarfare, sabotage, and assassinations, rattled Iran’s leaders. Between 2010 and 2012, four of Iran’s top nuclear scientists were assassinated, one after the other, in the middle of Tehran traffic, by a man (or sometimes two) on a motorbike who pulled up alongside their cars and let loose a volley of shots, then rode off through that traffic. None of the killers has been found.

T. Belman.  Saying you want a broad government is one thing but achieving it is another when Gantz and Lapid have said they won’t serve on a Netanyahu led government.  Will Lapid or Gantz join such a broad government? I don’t think so and I hope they don’t unless they agree to Israel retaining all of J&S. How can we not have polarization if they don’t agree to destroy illegal Arab construction and Gantz’s gestures.  I like Shaked’s use of “Jewish and sovereign state,” We must bury the term ““Jewish and democratic state.”

This new Party will bring Bibi’s majority to about 65 seats, all right wing.

For those who haven’t noticed, the concept of “trusting the science” regarding one’s health is rapidly deteriorating in the United States. Besides the absolute failure of COVID jabs, three specific instances over the past few days have taken center stage. First, substantial evidence now shows that the rationale for antidepressants that began in the 1990s—which declared a serotonin deficiency causes depression—is based on no proof. Next, it has come to light that one of the most cited pieces of Alzheimer’s disease research in the last twenty years may have been deliberately manipulated. And most recently, reports reveal that over half of the studies testing anticancer drugs against each other used protocol rules that favored the experimental arm over the control arm.

T. Belman. My take away. They did not rule out forming a government with Bibi. They support a “Zionist” government but did not define this term nor did they mention Judea and Samaria. Their appeal was directed to centrists like Lapid and Sa’ar. They are trying to wean their voters away.  This is good news for those of us who want a right wing government.

Yamina, Derech Eretz leaders announce joint run in the upcoming elections, oppose narrow govt. reliant on extremists from both sides.

Matt Palumbo exposes the financier’s networks and agenda.

FPM    27.7.22

In an in-depth interview with Matt Palumbo, author of The Man Behind the Curtain: Inside the Secret Network of George Soros, at the link below, Palumbo discusses the origins of left-wing billionaire financier Soros and his rise to power as the shadowy figure seemingly pulling the strings behind the scenes in American politics. Palumbo describes the purpose of his book as an opportunity to demystify Soros through extensive documentation of his financial sway across multiple spheres of influence in western society.

T. Belman. I honestly don’t know what is wrong with his character. Although there have been a few complaints that Trump didn’t pay his contractors, there are many stories of his largesse.  Who has come through the gauntlet that Trump has been subjected to that would come out so clean. Some complain that they don’t like his tweets. I don’t understand this complaint at all.  When Trump was chairman of a meeting and it was shown on television, I found him to be quite adept at leading the discussion.  Trump has the unique ability to communicate with the common man.  They love him and come out in droves to listen to his rallies. From what I have seen, he is also a good family man.

I recently wrote a column about why I believed Trump should not run in 2024. I was wrong. I allowed my distaste for Trump’s personality to override his virtues, which are considerable. Some people want Trump without his vices. I was among them — until yesterday, when I watched and listened to Tom Klingenstein’s speech titled “Trump’s virtues.”  It was masterful and shamed me that I did not make the distinction between Trump’s character and his virtues, the former being deeply flawed, the latter being almost perfect. I need to man up in my defense of the former President’s virtues. The speech was among the most pointed I have heard and deserves some exposure. Klingenstein says:

Haaretz has an op ed dealing with Bibi’s prospects:

To reach the ever-elusive majority in this election, Netanyahu needs to recover at least some of the old-school right-wingers, those who are less easily infected by his paranoia and anti-Arab incitement and don’t feel they are underprivileged. In other words, Bibi has to appeal to the former Likudniks who disdain Bibi-ism.

I like his anti-Arab incitement and think that is a winning stance for this election. Haaretz thinks that saying “The Arabs are flocking to the polls” in anti-Arab incitement.  I see the Palestinians  who undermine Israel as a Jewish state as our enemy and value anyone who points it out.  The Arabs  and Haaretz are committed to anti- Jewish incitement.  They are the problem.  But it is right to point out that Bibi should target former Likudniks who permeated the Center/Left  Coalition.

The industrial partnership is vital to counter the economic impact of global crises and underscores the importance of private sector engagement in sustainable development for the Arab world.

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN, JPOST

Representatives of the UAE, US, Israel, Bahrain Morocco and Egypt at the Steering Committee of the Negev Forum, June 27, 2022.

A bloc of four Arab countries with 122 million people, all of which are peace partners of Israel, have joined together as part of a unique and large new partnership. Bahrain has joined the UAE, Egypt and Jordan in this new partnership, which will focus on a range of economic investments in the region.<

This is designed to bolster Arab economic integration. These are among the key economies of the region. The fact that the countries all have peace with Israel illustrates new possibilities for the Abraham Accords because trade is the key building block of a new peace.

Jeremy Ben-Ami might best be advised to check Principle #4 of J Street’s mission before he opens his big mouth in the future.

Principle #4 of the Israel-centric organization advocates “vibrant but respectful debate about Israel.” Is “respectful” how J Street’s longtime president would characterize his statement in Saturday’s New York Times?

“There seems to be something particularly on the line for some parts of the Jewish community when women of color speak out,” Ben-Ami told a Times reporter in a larger story about the role of Israel as a political issue in a range of Democratic primary elections in recent months.

Facing shortages and growing populist movements – the European Union as we know it may be doomed

David Rundell and Michael Gfoeller

Europe is hurdling towards its greatest economic crisis since the 1930s. During the Covid pandemic, European governments increased demand with massive monetary stimulus packages while at the same time reducing supply by closing businesses and urging workers to stay home. This unleashed some of the highest inflation rates seen in a generation. Then came Russia’s invasion of Ukraine followed by Europe’s efforts to weaken Vladimir Putin with extensive economic sanctions. Those sanctions backfired. While the value of the ruble has risen, Europe faces energy shortages, inflation, and slower economic growth. These troubles are causing division and strife within the European Union, giving rise to stronger populist movements, and creating greater challenges for the United States both now, and in the very near future.

The war in Ukraine is in its sixth month, and there’s no end in sight. Here’s what we know…

Almost everything you heard about the war in Ukraine from U.S. media over the course of March, April and May was a lie.

You heard that Putin was losing the war. You heard that Russians had poor training and low morale and were deserting in droves. You heard that Ukrainians were destroying Russian armor in large numbers to blunt the Russian advance.

• The Ukrainian military urgently needs long-range air defenses and longer-range artillery. It does not have them.
• [Zelensky] said he wanted the war over before Russia could rebuild its forces, and that each additional day of war meant more death and destruction. Above all, he said, not only Ukraine is at stake, but the security and values ??of the West.

The three-way summit between Presidents Raisi, Putin, and Erdogan intended to present a unified front against the Western axis, which imposes various levels of sanctions on the three states. But despite the cordial photos and warm handshakes, there are serious disputes between Tehran, Moscow, and Ankara. They are rivals no less than they are partners, and it is doubtful whether their meeting will lead to any substantive gains

The visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Tehran – the first such visit since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in February 2022 – offered the three leaders an opportunity to demonstrate their partnership against the West and discuss the challenges they face domestically, regionally, and internationally. Iran viewed the summit as a chance to tighten its strategic relations with the Kremlin, in part in response to the idea of a regional defense alliance led by Washington. Russia viewed it as an opportunity to show the world – and its own domestic audience – that it is not isolated and there is international willingness to accept a multipolar world order that is not led by the United States alone.
