T. Belman. “Neutralize” it ???  A few days ago I wrote to IDSF to not give up on killing the deal. There is no deal . Only a useless US guarantee. It was reported:

“Staging fierce opposition to the agreement before it was signed by Prime Minister Yair Lapid on Thursday, Netanyahu had said the deal was “illegal” and he would not be bound by it.”

One option is to call for a referendum, even now.

All US guarantees ensure the interests of the guarantor. not the guaranteed Israel is repeating past mistakes. Op-ed.

By Amb. (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, INN

The US-engineered and brokered Israel-Lebanon (Hezbollah) maritime/gas accord includes (in section 4) US guarantees. It aims to reassure both parties, especially Israel: “The United States intends to exert its best efforts working with the Parties to help establish and maintain a positive and constructive atmosphere for conducting discussions and successfully resolving any differences as rapidly as possible.”

Is that a reassuring commitment?

T. Belman. It is not enough for Israel to knock down the terrorists but it must also give them a drubbing they will never recover from. Our response should not be to restore calm but to kill all hope in the leadership and the terrorists they support, of ever succeeding.

Palestinian terrorists target buses, cafes, and nightclubs – leaving a scar on the Israeli psyche.

by Enia Krivine, FPM

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials were alerted that they spread misinformation about child COVID-19 deaths but still did not issue corrections, according to emails obtained by The Epoch Times.

Drs. Katherine Fleming-Dutra and Sara Oliver were told within days of presenting to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, in June that statistics from a preprint study they shared were wrong, the emails show. But after internal discussion about how to respond, neither the CDC nor the officials corrected the false information.

Israel Elections: Which parties are running, what are their policies?  

Strangely no party according to this article has any policy having to do with changing the status quo on the Temple Mount, destroying illegal construction, holding Israel officials accountable for policies relating to the pandemic, and extending Israel law to anything more than the settlements.

Israpudniks know that I have blamed the US for the Ukraine War and not Putin. I lost many supporters as a result. Nevertheless as time went on more people are agreeing with me.

I believe that the tide is turning. The pressure of sanctions is hurting Europe far more than Russia and the EU is unravelling. So is NATO.

By Carole Hornsby Haynes, AM THINKER

Across the nation, war rages between parents who charge that schools are teaching their children race-based Marxist Critical Race Theory and school boards and educators who deny their accusations.

Finally, we have definitive proof that students actually are being taught these dangerously divisive concepts.
