The Biden administration has announced the establishment of an inter-agency group that will co-ordinate US government efforts “to counter antisemitism”.

President Joe Biden said: “Antisemitism has no place in America. All Americans should forcefully reject antisemitism — including Holocaust denial — wherever it exists.”

It’s December. The cold winds are blowing and darkness comes early. Worker productivity drops across the board except for the one class of workers who don’t work any other time of the year.

Congress.
With the midterm elections in the rearview mirror, the Senate is a furious hive of activity, dirty deals and furious negotiations as its small membership uses the opportunity created by the incoming House Republican majority to rush legislation through the lame duck session.

JStreet is not Jewish or pro-Israel, it exists solely to advance Democrats. It is anti-Israel and the Reform Movement is now the same. Op-ed.

(JNS) J Street, a far-left organization that has done more to turn Israel into a partisan issue than any other, has joined other anti-Israel Jewish groups (Ameinu, Americans for Peace Now, Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, Habonim Dror North America, J Street, New Israel Fund, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and T’ruah – note that the Reform Movementisout in the open) in an attempt to browbeat Kevin McCarthy—likely to be the next speaker of the House—into not kicking virulent antisemite Rep. Ilhan Omar off the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

When the presumptive next prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his goal of expanding the Abraham Accords to include additional countries, speculation arose as to which Arab or Muslim state would be the next to normalize ties with Israel. Though unlikely to materialize soon, one particularly attractive candidate is located over 8,000 km. away in southeast Asia – Indonesia.

This could become one of the biggest stories of 2023, even if the corporate media tries to hide it.

By Rod Thomson, PJ MEDIA  Dec 14/22

One of the greatest potential threats to public health to come from the COVID imbroglio has been the introduction and forced acceptance of the experimental, barely studied, first-time mRNA vaccine. Most places, not all, have grudgingly backed off the shot mandates, but Americans still have precious little information on the vaccines’ efficacy and dangers—except for the rapidly growing VAERS database of severe post-vaccine adverse events.

So now we finally have one major political leader willing to take the leap forward to launch a long-needed full-scale investigation using the powers of the state. No real surprise that it is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

T. Belman.  Ben Gvir: The Attorney General’s job to is to advise, she cannot give me orders

“The Attorney General and her predecessors think that the politicians should make a pilgrimage to them and ask for their highness’s approval,” he said. “I’m not prepared for that, I’m not subordinate to the Attorney General, she advises. Does she want to advise me? Gladly. Does she want to give me instructions? Not on my watch. I was elected by the public.”

Ben Gvir: ‘The day camp for terrorists in jail has to stop’

“The ‘giving in’ to security prisoners’ demands by senior authorities in the defense establishment is disturbing and raises questions regarding Israel’s security situation. Giving in and showing weakness strengthens terror and encourages it. Only determination, standing strong against terror, and worsening the conditions in prisons, will bring deterrence. The summer camp for terrorists in the jails needs to stop.”

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Kobi ShabtaiYonatan Sindel/Flash90

Following Wednesday’s heated discussion at the Committee to amend the Police Ordinance Law, designated National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said in a private conversation, “The police force doesn’t want me to control its budget. I insist on controlling the budget to prevent waste on the commissioner’s part.”

According to a report in Israel Hayom, Ben Gvir added that he has been apprised of the details of the police budget. “The Commissioner demanded four Black Hawk helicopters, to be available for his personal use. With all due respect, there’s no need for it. He can travel by car; he doesn’t need a helicopter. And there are many other items that are simply wasteful. I prefer to use those funds to increase officers’ salaries and to fund new police stations.”

T. Belman. The situation is volatile. Arutz Sheva reports, 428 weapons seized in police searches of Arab villages. TOI also reports on the poll in an article which provides more information. The war for Area C will definitely heat up. The object of the new government will not be to avoid conflict as in the past but to quash it and assert out power.

Historian Richard Landes’s new book shows how a war of lies and language endangers not only the Jewish state, but the West itself.

From the moment Yasser Arafat launched his long-planned second intifada against Israel in 2000, the most brazen lies about both Jews and Israel were relentlessly told and widely believed. For years, master propagandists in cyberspace, the Western media and academia managed to diabolically invert reality. The entire world believed an utterly false narrative.

Richard Landes’s new work Can the Whole World Be Wrong?: Lethal Journalism, Antisemitism and Global Jihad fearlessly, carefully, relentlessly and brilliantly documents this history.

On December 9th, US warns Russia is giving Iran ‘unprecedented military and technical support’. 

That article was sub-titled “White House says Moscow moving toward full defense ‘partnership’ with Tehran, including air defense systems and fighter jets, in exchange for drones supplied for Ukraine war”

“In return, Russia is offering military and technical support to the Iranian regime, which will increase the risk it poses to our partners in the Middle East and to international security.”

T. Belman. Public Security Minister Omer Barlev replied, “This is a bill whose essence is one thing – to harm the independence of the Israel Police and turn it into a tool to be used by politicians. It is not intended to correct, but rather to destroy the independence of the Israel Police and seriously damage Israeli democracy. This is a real coup. This law will turn the State of Israel into a police state.”

He could not be more wrong. The police are not the protector of democracy.  The Knesset is. The police must do what the government tells them to do.

Did you know that the Supreme Court held that Jews have the right to pray on the Temple Mount, if the police say its OK. The police said its too provocative and forbade Jewish Prayer. Ben Gvitr will instruct the police to let them pray there and to contain the violence it provokes. Case in point.
