BIBI IS A NATIONAL TREASURE.

YET HE IS TREATED ABOMINABLY AND PERSECUTED

REDACTED

By David Zukerman, AMER THINKER

DC Larson recently pointed out in an American Thinker publication that Donald J. Trump is a real-life John Doe, the populist hero from one of Frank Capra’s four great populist movies, “Meet John Doe” (1941). Larson is, of course, correct in comparing Mr. Trump to John Doe. I would go further, as I see indicia of other Capra populist heroes in the former president as well: Longfellow Deeds in “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town” (1936); Jefferson Smith in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” (1939); and George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946).

T. Belman. Did you know that Avi Maoz, the soon to be new Minister said,

“There are currently 3,000 educational programs written by progressive, far-left NGOs, funded by foreign foundations and the European Union. Are they there to strengthen the Jewish state? Of course not. They want to make Israel a state like all states.

“Who will make sure that Jewish identity programs be written instead of ‘state-of-all-its-citizens’ programs?” That’s my job.

Throughout his career, whether as prime minister or in opposition, Benjamin Netanyahu has disregarded the Education Ministry. He’s now learning that local councils don’t share that indifference

Of all the agreements signed so far between Benjamin Netanyahu and the prospective members of his incoming governing coalition, the news that the new deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Avi Maoz, will also control the Education Ministry department in charge of external programing for public schools has caused the most significant backlash.

Under deal with Likud, Religious Zionism minister to oversee key Defense Ministry organizations responsible for enforcing regulations, daily life in the West Bank

By JEREMY SHARON, TOI      2 December 2022,

The newly agreed terms of the coalition agreement between the Likud and the far-right Religious Zionism parties will give the latter outsize influence over civilian issues in the West Bank and almost certainly allow for accelerated growth of Israeli settlements there.

In addition, enforcement against illegal Palestinian construction in the territory will be ramped up significantly, a step which would likely generate strong international opposition and heighten tensions with the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian populace more generally.

• What is disturbing is that a large portion of this incitement is coming from Arabs whose governments signed peace treaties or other agreements with Israel: Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinians.
• What is even more disturbing is that the hate against Israel is coming from Arabs who continue to benefit from unconditional US financial aid.

Religious Zionism will appoint the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) and the head of the IDF Civil Administration and not the Defense Minister.

The coalition agreements with the Likud establish that in addition to control of the Civil Administration and its course of operation, and of the high planning board, Smotrich or a minister representing him will appoint the two most powerful men in Judea and Samaria, other than the IDF Central Command chief and Defense Minister.

Smotrich, Netanyahu, and their negotiating teamsSpokespersons

Last Thursday, the Likud party signed a coalition agreement with the Religious Zionism party, headed by MK Bezalel Smotrich; on Monday morning, that agreement was published in full.

Heading the agreement is a clause stipulating that all government responses to the Supreme Court on the issue of settlements must be authorized by Smotrich himself. In addition, the position of “Minister within the Defense Ministry” will be permanently enshrined in law (in the Basic Law: Government). A Religious Zionism representative will be appointed to that position, which will include authority over the Civil Administration (the de facto government of Area C in Judea and Samaria, which rules over all the Jewish communities there).

Database latency — a geeky term, but that’s how they did it!

A policeman pulls over a speeder.  The police computer reports that three hours ago a similar vehicle and person held up a liquor store — so the police are on alert.

No database latency.

In the 15 years since Hamas seized control of Gaza, 12 percent of the Strip’s population has fled, according to a study released by an organization associated with the terror group. The report appears to mark the first time Hamas is acknowledging — indirectly — widespread Gazan emigration since it violently seized control of the Strip in 2007.

The report, written by the Hamas-affiliated Council on International Relations, was published in September and recently seen by the Tazpit Press Service. It claims that over 60,000 Gazan residents have migrated from the Gaza Strip in recent years to escape poverty and war.

Heretofore overlooked British General Staff documents demonstrate that the oft-marginalized Lehi leader Avraham ‘Yair’ Stern’s assessment of British intentions toward Mandate Palestine was correct

BY EDWARD N. LUTTWAK, TABLET   NOVEMBER 29, 2022

Avraham Stern in 1942ISRAELI GOVERNMENT PRESS OFFICE

When the warrior poet Avraham “Yair” Stern founder and leader of Lohamei Herut Israel (Lehi, “Fighters for the Freedom of Israel”) who believed that the British had to be forced out with assassinations and bombs and would never leave voluntarily, was killed after being captured and handcuffed by British detectives on Feb. 12, 1942, no Jew could celebrate his death.

But the leaders of the Jews of British Mandatory Palestine, already then led by David Ben-Gurion, viewed Stern’s death as a gain for the national cause rather than a loss—and not only because the poet and his followers were reckless political dilettantes: Some fantasized alliances with Mussolini, even the Nazis, as well as Arab nationalists in a common anti-British cause.

While the new government holds a cluster of threats that could spark violence in the West Bank, the UAE is the first country to publicly legitimize Ben-Gvir by connecting him to Netanyahu’s commitment to the Abraham peace accords

By Zvi Bar’el, HAARETZ  Dec 4/22

Far-right Otzma Yehudit Chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir shakes hands with Emirati Ambassador Mohamed Al Khaja, last week.

Diplomatic protocol didn’t require the embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Israel to invite National Security Minister-designate Itamar Ben-Gvir to the Persian Gulf state’s 51st anniversary celebration. The new Israeli cabinet has not yet been sworn in, and political leaders are asking themselves what message the invitation might be sending to other Arab states, to Israel’s Arabs and especially to Palestinians.

A Jordanian official said the invitation should be seen as expressing Amman’s desire to influence the actions of the government that incoming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is putting together.

Multiple Israelis have claimed to have been met by an atmosphere of hostility and hatred at the World Cup in Qatar, with fans refusing to speak to Israeli journalists, waving Palestinian flags in the background of their videos and yelling at them.

Moav Vardy, KAN’s foreign affairs reporter, was yelled at by a Saudi fan who told him that “You are not welcome here. This is Qatar. This is our country. There is only Palestine; no Israel.”

Analysis of data from 1991-2018 shows Israel has the worst decline in public confidence in its court system in the world.

The judicial activism of Israel’s Supreme Court has harmed the trust the public places in the judicial system, according to a Hebrew University study published today (Sunday) by Israel Hayom.

The research, conducted by Prof. Yonatan Givati ??and PhD student Aaron Gerber, uses a unique database that was unknown to legal researchers until today. This includes figures on public trust in the judicial system from 1991-2018, which appear to resolve the dispute between former Supreme Court Presidents Moshe Landau and Aharon Barak.

The WEF Globalist agenda of the “Great Reset” for deindustrialization and depopulation that is at play in the West and imposed upon the developing countries of the global south has been accelerated by the war in Ukraine. But this agenda remains unfocused in public discussions due to the obvious and deliberate failing of the mainstream media to inform and educate the public.

This agenda has been long in the making and opposition to the agenda has been marginalized by the ruling elite. The winners and losers of this agenda has also been obvious – the winners being the small elite segment of the global population, and the losers being most of the people herded and cajoled by fears of economic downturns, wars, pandemics, and natural calamities to which the people in general are hopelessly vulnerable.
