T. Belman.  I hate it when Muslims force non Muslim countries to accommodate the demands of Islam. Muslims should have to accommodate themselves when living in non Muslim countries.

 – Iran Foreign Ministry Says: ‘Muslims Are Satisfied With The Stance Of Indian Officials’

MEMRI, Special Dispatch    6.20.22

Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian along with his Indian counterpart Jaishankar

On June 8, 2022, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), at the meeting of its 35-nation board of governors, passed a resolution, condemning Iran for its failure to provide technically credible evidence about the detection of nuclear traces at its three nuclear sites. While Russia and China voted against the resolution, India joined Pakistan and Libya to abstain from voting against Iran.[1] An Indian activist tweeted: “Iran joined Pakistan and Libya to slam India on #ProphetMuhammad issue and India joined Pakistan and Libya to abstain from vote on IAEA resolution slamming Iran. What kind of foreign policy our country is having?”[2]

The fear is that the internal battles between Mahmoud Abbas’ potential successors could lead to anarchy in the areas under the Palestinian Authority’s control.

By  Prof. Eyal Zisser, IH   19.6.22

Mahmoud Abbad has survived four prime ministers and seven defense ministers throughout his 17 years as president of the Palestinian Authority, and those numbers could rise even more considering the deep crisis in which Israel’s political system is mired.

This is not to say, however, that Abbas or the authority he heads is strong. For years now he has been little more than a figurehead whose power barely projects beyond the Mukata presidential compound in Ramallah.

T. Belman. Goldman may be right in everything he wrote except for this,

“His obsession with the highly-improbable notion that vote fraud decided the 2020 election is self-destructive. His encouragement of the Jan 6 Capitol Hill protests — to whatever extent it occurred — was ill-considered in the extreme.”

He takes a cheap shot at Putin, “There’s nothing to like about him.” while at the same time acknowledging ” the boss of bosses who rationalized and limited the looting and allowed Russia to get back on its feet.”

Former President Donald Trump told the “Road to Majority” conference in Nashville on June 17:

Why exactly are we coddling him in his preposterous demands?

By Hugh Fitzgerald, FPM     20.6.22

The Palestinian Authority’s president, Mahmoud Abbas, wants to “pressure” the American government to do his bidding before Biden visits the Middle East on a trip scheduled for this July. A report on the rich fantasy life of Abbas is here:

“Feeding Palestinian delusions,” by Mitchell Bard,

JNS.org, June 8, 2022:

“Palestinian Leadership Plans to Increase Pressure on U.S. ahead of Biden’s Visit.”

This headline in the Daily Alert was illustrative of why Palestinian delusions are mainly responsible for their plight. The article associated with the headline said the Palestinians want to “turn the screws on the White House in order to secure lucrative overtures from the Americans.”

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday lost his parliamentary majority after major election gains by a newly formed left-wing alliance and a surge from the far right, in a stunning blow to his plans for major second-term reform.

The result from Sunday’s second round poll threw French politics into turmoil, raising the prospect of a paralyzed legislature or messy coalitions with Macron forced to reach out to new allies.

It is improbable that the government will survive for long. If elections take place now, at least 60 Jewish Zionists, headed by Netanyahu, could set up a government, his chance for a place in history with Herzl -if he attends to basic issues. Op-ed.

By Malcolm Dash, INN    19.6.22

A year has elapsed since Naftali Bennett cobbled together a Post-Zionist coalition of eight disparate political factions. This came about as the brainchild of Lapid, chairman of the Yesh Atid party, who co-opted an enthusiastic partner in the head of the Yamina party.

Although Bennett had only seven seats, he unashamedly assumed the prime minster-ship of the state. In his election campaigning, he swore he would not go into coalition with the Left, and that included Lapid. He emphatically repudiated seeking the support of any Arab party; with fraudulent insolence he reversed his promises, deceived his constituency, and in an egocentric, greedy grab for power, he extirpated his ideology, if indeed he had any to begin with? And forged his bizarre government.

ISRAEL UNWIRED

Reports indicate that Russia is preparing a draft resolution at the UN claiming that Israel’s attack at the Damascus airport violated international law.

Russia has grown continuously more and more antagonistic against Israel. The Kremlin has increased its verbal attacks on Israel over the lat few months. From siding with the “palestinians” to running joint drills with Syria along the Israeli border, Russia is not pulling their punches.

There are more than 10,000 Russian troops in Syria. Many of these soldiers have been kept in Syria since Putin helped Bashar Assad with the Syrian Civil War.

Now Putin i using them to pressure Israel to stay out of the coming Middle East conflict.

Addressing Iran’s attempts to harm Israelis abroad, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett calls on citizens to “show personal responsibility.”

Israel will strike “whoever sends” attackers against Israelis, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Sunday.[/caption]

In his opening remarks to the weekly Cabinet meeting, the Israeli premier said that the country’s security services were working to thwart attacks before they occur, but added that Israel would not stop at prevention.

T. Belman. The existence of  an international order is a myth or a con job to justify things like  the Climate Accords or the dominance of the WHO.

Israel has been victimized by the UN and  “international law”, not protected. She is attacked by the UN and the HR NGOs for alleged violations of alleged international law.

Article 2(1) of the charter provides, “The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.”, yet our sovereignty is constantly being attacked by the UN and its agencies. The rule of law requires equal justice and equal law yet double standards are constantly applied to Israel by biased institutions.

Both Israel and the US did not ratify the Rome Statute or submit to the International Criminal Court because they knew that they would not get justice. The US, Russia and China will not relinquish their veto because they do not want to be judged by everybody else.

Trump was against free trade as it denies the sovereign right to apply tariffs or to protect certain industries. There is no reason to submit to free trade unless its in your interest to do so.

Are not the sanctions being imposed on Russia and Iran a violation of  the international order.

• Shaped over the past seven decades, that is to say after the Second World War, what is known as the international order has been based on three principles which, although not always observed, have helped keep the edifice intact.
• The first principle was what is known as international law, built around the United Nations Charter and over 10,000 international treaties and protocols endorsed by a majority of the existing 193 states. The invasion of Ukraine has violated that principle in a dramatic way. Because the aggressor is a veto-holding member of the UN Security Council, the issue cannot even be handled even formally by the United Nations.

• [T]he attitude of the French judiciary to [Hadjadj’s] murder is similar to how it has regarded all murders of Jews in France, for decades.
• First, the authorities always say, as quickly as possible, that the murder of the Jew was not at all motivated by antisemitism. When evidence to the contrary accumulates and becomes impossible to deny, the antisemitic motive may reluctantly be recognized — as with the abduction, torture and murder of Ilan Halimi in 2006; the murder of Sarah Halimi in 2017; and the murder of Mireille Knoll in 2018.

IMRA – Independent Media Review and Analysis

Senior person in the Israeli military industries slams involving USA in Israeli Laser Program

In response to the IMRA commentary below, a senior person in the Israeli military industries adds:

Analyzing many comparable systems, one can safely state that it takes one-tenth of the cost and one-third of the time for the Israeli Defense
Industry to develop a similar, if not better, performing system. This was the case with the Israeli “PHALCON” early warning aircraft compared with the US E-2C or the US PATRIOT to Israeli IRON DOME.

T. Belman. when you learn of the British antisemitism that prevailed in Toronto in the thirties, It is much easier to understand and believe that the Brits undermined the Palestine Mandate and screwed the Jews.

It’s not too late to make amends to the Jewish people for this historical injustice.

1. Jordan’s King’s health is failing badly and rapidly. At the same time, Crown Prince Hussein, heir to the throne, is an unpopular figure whose mother, Queen Rania, is afraid that if her son becomes king, he may end up paying the price of his dad’s sins against the Jordanian people. At the same time, Rania has made sure no other Hashemite could either get or want the job. With the Royal Family morally and economically bankrupt in the eyes of Jordanians, Jordan could be in turmoil and facing a power vacuum when the King either dies or abdicates. The turmoil could lead to an eventual civil war as sides take positions.

T. Belman. A Zionist friend of mine recently told me not to refer to the lands as Judea and Samaria. Instead, he urged that we just call it “Judea” because Samaria wasn’t Jewish.

By Victor Sharpe, AM THINKER

When did it become an accepted truism that peace between Israel and the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians requires that Israel give to them its very own Biblical birthright in the Jewish heartland? When did the Oslo Accords supersede the eternal possession of the Jewish people to that God-given heartland of Judea and Samaria, the territory a hostile world insists on calling by its illegitimate Jordanian name; the West Bank?

Joe Biden is letting one of the largest illegal migrant caravans in history move into the U.S., with no effort to stop it.

Texas’s governor, Greg Abbott, isn’t.

According to a very interesting report by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies, the record-sized 15,000-strong caravan has run into interference from the Texas governor and his counterpart in the adjacent Mexican state of Coahuila, who had the foresight to sign an agreement in April about border security.  Bensman writes:
