Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro emerged from the Alvorada Palace in Brasilía Friday and spoke to protestors for the first time since mass protests against the stolen election began 41 days ago, promising to “fight to the death” for Brazil. ‘Load up on cash, food and gas’, the military is advising.

There are a lot of hints that a normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia is in the works.
While peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia will take time, there are already interesting developments. For one, officials from Saudi Arabia met with the heads of America’s Jewish community. They made it clear that they want peace with Israel.
Meir Deutsch of RegavimIsrael National News
Speaking at a real estate conference in Eilat, Meir Deutsch, director of the Regavim organization, discussed the phenomenon of paying protection money to criminal groups in Israel, and the effect this is having on society in general.
“This is a problem that is entirely different from how people envision it,” Deutsch told Israel National News. “It has reached the stage where it threatens the personal security of regular Israeli citizens, and I don’t mean just in the Negev. 85 percent of Israel’s building contractors across the country are paying protection money. This drives house prices up, and it also affects agriculture, businesses, and service providers.

Bentzi Gopstein, head of LehavaIsrael National News
Last week, the Lehava organization received an urgent call from a young Jewish woman, begging them to rescue her from her Arab partner who had kidnapped her, assaulted her, and was now threatening to murder her.
Bentzi Gopstein, head of Lehava, related some of the details of the dramatic rescue operation undertaken by his organization, adding that it was the fourth such rescue that week alone. “We barely had time to recover from the previous rescue and we were already on our way to the next one. The number of appeals for help we’re receiving has gone up by dozens of percent recently,” he says.
It’s been a month since the November elections, and it’s obvious that serious irregularities exist in our voting systems. Unless they are exposed and fixed, our country will have been taken over by our internal and external enemies, and we will never recover.
All of the efforts to fight back against the fraud nationwide have been unsuccessful except for in Maricopa County, Arizona. Kari Lake, the gubernatorial candidate, is still fighting — filing lawsuit after lawsuit in an effort to overturn the “results” in her campaign, where the current secretary of state in charge of the election, Katie Hobbs, was her opponent. Hobbs wouldn’t recuse herself despite the fact that she would be overseeing her own election. Unbelievable! When outrageous election problems caused some counties to withhold their vote certifications, Hobbs threatened them with class 6 felonies.

Why? “Because when you admire someone and you want to be like them,” Steve told me, “You study what they do, how they act, what they say. You try to find out what the secrets of their success are, with the goal of achieving what they’ve achieved, or at least coming close. And that goes for farmers or hedge-fund managers, ballerinas, or composers, or astronauts, rich or poor, black or white…that goes for everyone!”
T. Belman. Bibi’s partners have asked for certain legislation to be passed before the new government is formed. The opposition intends to slow walk the legislation and obstruct. Then Herzog piles on by giving Bibi only a 10 day extension rather than the usual 14 days. Even so, Bibi will get it done.
Herzog didn’t leave it at that but when on to lecture Bibi on what he must do like “the coalition being formed must maintain a respectful and responsible dialogue between the authorities—executive, legislature, and judiciary.” and “must preserve the powerful bond with the Jewish Diaspora,”
Seems to me like he is overstepping his role .which is that “of a non-partisan head of state who represents the country and the people as a whole, at home and abroad”

President Isaac Herzog on Friday granted Likud leader and Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu 10 additional days to finish forming a government, while indicating concern that the coalition Netanyahu is assembling — set to be the most right-wing in Israeli history — could potentially damage Israel’s democratic checks and balances, breach the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and alienate Jews overseas.

Even though neither Israel nor Palestine is playing in the 2022 World Cup tournament in Qatar, Israeli fans and reporters were met with a climate of hostility and anger that forced many of them to return to Israel. While not covered in the Western media, nearly all Israeli reporters and journalists were the subject of public humiliation, hostility, and threats. Those who have been following the story got a rare glimpse of the Israeli reality of living amidst a sea of absolute rejection and hostility.

If you do not embrace, with both arms, that Leftists and RINOs use a multi-faceted, 40 years-in-the-making, industrial-scale voter fraud system, centering on voter roll tampering and manipulation, aided by elected officials, NGOs, protected by the mainstream press and conservative controlled opposition, you cannot be part of its remediation.
This week, we have a glaring example of the Republican money-gathering class demonstrating how clueless it is about this reality.

Neither Here Nor There: Jordan and the Abraham Accords
Sorry, Jonathan, you got this one wrong ” While Jordanian officials may not say so explicitly, the animosity harbored by Jordan’s Palestinian population toward Israel has a significant influence on the kingdom’s foreign policies. ” Nope. Jordan’s Palestinian majority hates the Hashemites with a passion and has not had much care or concern for the Palestinian cause. Evidence? The regime state media itself calls for pro-Palestine events, and facilitates protests in front of the Israeli embassy, despite the Palestinians making up more than 90% of the 10 million population, less than 1000 show up. What does this tell you?

Attendees at the 2022 J Street Policy Conference Room looks empty
J Street is a far-left wing extremist group which markets itself as “pro-Israel, pro-peace” to confuse the uninformed that it is something bipartisan and mainstream. It has never been anything of the sort as it made plainly clear again.
J Street is openly partisan. It only endorses Democrats and only pours money into Democratic campaigns every election cycle. There is nothing wrong with that, a counterpoint to the Republican Jewish Coalition, but the RJC doesn’t market itself disingenuously.

The Middle East witnessed remarkable change in August and September 2020 with the Abraham Accords. It began with decisions taken by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain to enter into peace agreements with Israel. Sudan and Morocco followed soon thereafter.[1] Seemingly overnight, a rare sense of optimism washed over the Middle East.
These agreements were certainly not the first of their kind. In 1979, Egypt made peace with Israel. In 1993, the Palestinians entered the Oslo diplomatic process with Israel, initiating more than a decade of attempted peacemaking. In 1994, Jordan made its own peace with Israel.

(JNS) One of the favorite strategies deployed by Jew-baiters is to divide the community into Good Jews and Bad Jews.
Good Jews have politically correct, progressive opinions. Jews who don’t hold with those opinions are Bad Jews.This distinction is helpful to Israel-bashers, who can use it to claim that they can’t possibly hate the Jews because there are Jews who support their hostility to Israel.
The White House this week hosted a round table on antisemitism to discuss the alarming escalation in attacks on American Jews. Yet the Biden administration conspicuously failed to invite to this discussion the Zionist Organization of America, the Coalition for Jewish Values and the Jewish Leadership Project.

According to a report in Ma’ariv, a plan is being hatched among the incoming Opposition aimed at sowing chaos in the new Netanyahu government.
According to the report, two senior members of the opposition – secretary of the Yesh Atid faction, MK Boaz Toporovsky and the National Union Camp’s Ze’ev Elkin – a former Likud lawmaker and Netanyahu ally – are drawing up a “Total War” plan which aims to disrupt the formation of the government during the legislative stages of the “Deri, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich laws.”

Barghouti is an imprisoned leader. I know what the white people in South Africa said about Nelson Mandela.
Member of Knesset Ahmad Tibi in an interview with Radio Israel, September 24, 2019
The first thing one sees after crossing the Qalandiya checkpoint from Jerusalem en route to Ramallah is a huge mural of Marwan Barghouti, the imprisoned Fatah leader who is seen by many Palestinians as the successor to Mahmoud Abbas. Next to Barghouti’s portrait is that of the late Yasser Arafat. Placing these two figures together implies an obvious unity; both are revered for their struggles against Israel. According to a recent poll conducted in September of Palestinians, if there were presidential elections for the Palestinian Authority and Mahmoud Abbas did not run for election, Barghouti would receive 41% of the votes; Ismail Haniya, the international leader of Hamas, would receive 17%; ex-Fatah leader Muhammad Dahlan—5%; the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya al-Sinwar—4%; and Abbas’s confidant Hussein al-Sheikh—only 2%.

The American television series was called “The Twilight Zone” written by and hosted by one Rod Serling. It was a long time ago but I remember it like it was yesterday.
The meaning of “Twilight Zone” according to Your Dictionary is “the mental state between reality and fantasy” or “An area of ambiguity between two distinct states or conditions” So, Serling’s dramas told stories of weird events and alternate worlds.
