Rumors abound that Likud is in talks with both Yash Atid and National Union to form a national government. Both sides denied such talks are taking place.

Netanyahu said to tell Smotrich he won’t get defense job, because of US objections

Likud party cancels all planned meetings with Religious Zionism; Smotrich said ‘furious’ with prime-minister-designate and vowing not to relent on his demand for the position

Back in 2016 and 2020 when some were predicting a Trump victory in New York, I was telling people that it was structurally impossible. This was no longer Giuliani’s New York City. The demographic changes were too profound to make that possible.

Lee Zeldin was a great candidate and his campaign may have helped Republicans take the House, but his numbers in New York City were always going to be deeply constrained by the completely toxic urban woke politics, which served as a dam, the way cities always do, for Republicans. Despite Orthodox Jews and Asians rallying to vote for him, he lost. And if you want to understand why, consider these ballot measures passing by Soviet election numbers.

Why are British left-wing activists so keen to join the attempts by Louis Farrakhan and America’s white supremacists to blame Jews for the slave trade?

By Liam Hoare, HAARETZ    June 2, 2016

[…]

Jewish responsibility for the slave trade is an idea imported from the United States, specifically from the chauvinist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. In 1991, his stooges at the Nation of Islam published a weighty and well-annotated tome entitled The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews: Volume One. The book — which had no named author or editor and manipulated the work of mostly Jewish historians in order “to defame Jews” — argued that the trade in African bodies “was initiated by Jewish ship owners and merchants, who as a group remained the main beneficiaries of the slave economy and who ‘carved for themselves a monumental culpability in slavery,’” according to a report on the book compiled by the Anti-Defamation League.

US: Ukraine fired missile that killed 2 in Poland

The speed with which both Poland and the US pointed the finger at Ukraine tells me that the West has no stomach for war with Russia and that Ukraine will be abandoned.

Comments come after Polish Foreign Ministry confirmed missile that caused explosion near Ukraine border was fired by Russia.

Polish President Andrzej Duda said late on Tuesday that Poland has no conclusive evidence showing who fired the missile that caused an explosion in a village near the Ukrainian border, the Reuters news agency reported.

Two people were killed in the explosion in Przewodow, about 6 km from the border with Ukraine, firefighters said. Media reports said the strike hit a grain-drying facility.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT REVIEW OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

By Kari Donovan, REPUBLICAN BRIEF 15.11.22

The math doesn’t add up in the Arizona races, even after working on tabulations for a full week, and independent media are still asking questions about how election officials declared that Democrat Katie Hobbs won the Governor seat in a hotly fought after state. Something seems very off in the tabulations for Republican Kari Lake.<

“MORE ARIZONA DATA: Only 17% of Maricopa Election Day Voters Were Democrat, Only 23% of Primary Election Day Voters Were Democrat — But Democrats Are Winning 50% of Delayed Election Day Totals? IMPOSSIBLE!” Jim Hoft reported for Gateway Pundit.

T. Belman. How so? As of yesterday the spread was 0.8 %.. If the spread narrows to less that 0.5% the a recount is automatic. There are 46,000 votes to be counted of which 16000 are in Maricopa County. Kari needs 3/8 x 46,000 votes= 17,000.  65% of Maricopa gives her about 10,000 votes with  7000 more needed and 30,000 left to be counted.  So she only needs 21% of what is left for a recount.

By Zachary Stieber, EPOCH TIMES

The Arizona gubernatorial race could be headed to a recount after the lead Katie Hobbs holds narrowed further on Nov. 14.

Hobbs, the Democrat secretary of state, was up over Republican Kari Lake by about 26,000 votes on Sunday. That lead narrowed to 19,382 with newly reported results on Monday.

Never in modern history have the polls been wrong by FAVORING Republicans heavily. They favor Democrats by 3%-6%, so in any race that’s close in the polls, Republicans have a chance of winning it. That changed this last election. Allegedly, the polls that showed a massive red tsunami were wrong in the opposite direction. As a result, people like Kari Lake and others “lost.”

They didn’t. They were robbed. We see many in conservative and alternative media pointing to abortion or other excuses for the lack of a red tsunami, but that ignores the fact that the polls showed none of these were actually issues. If abortion was a major issue, it would have reflected that in the polls. They did not. The election was stolen. Of that, I am certain, as I discussed on the latest episode of The JD Rucker Show.

By Steve McCann, AM THINKER

There have been many postmortems written about the outcome of the 2022 mid-term elections.  Nearly all focus on political or structural issues.  Did the Republican primary voters pick terrible candidates?  Why didn’t the Republican hierarchy spend more money on candidates x, y, or z?  Is Trump’s endorsement the kiss of death in a general election?  Why didn’t the Republicans better prepare for voting fraud and manipulation?   But what nearly everyone fails to understand is that this election further amplified that this nation has effectively and permanently split into two countries tenuously living side-by-side, while exposing the overwhelming importance of the 2024 election.

T. Belman.  “Defense Min. Benny Gantz may be offered to join coalition in exchange for remaining in his position, sources say.”

“Such a move would block Religious Zionism’s MK Bezalel Smotrich from being able to continue demanding either the Defense Ministry or the Finance Ministry – and render his party unnecessary to the formation of a government.”

If Bibi chooses Gantz, I don’t think Smotrich and Ben Gvir will join the government.

Israelis will call Netanyahu a traitor if he betrays his right-wing partners once again. Smotrich must stand up for his voters Op-ed.

Smotrich and Netanyahu  Haim Tuito

Binyamin Netanyahu, head of the Likud party, may be planning to push Bezalel Smotrich and the Religious Zionist Party to the background of his prospective coalition – if he plans on including them at all.

Since the November 1st elections, there have been constant reports of meetings and negotiations between Likud and the Shas and United Torah Judaism parties about what ministries they hope to receive in the coalition government. Surprisingly, the Religious Zionist Party has not been mentioned in reports of potential appointments and positions. It’s even been reported by certain news outlets that prospective Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu plans to close agreements on budgets, ministries, and positions with the Shas and United Torah Judaism parties and leave what’s left to the Religious Zionist Party after most of the decisions have already been made.

Candidate quality? How about voter quality?

By Matthew Boose, AM GREATNESS  12.11.22

Like the Democrats after 2016, Republicans are bewildered by the results of the midterm elections and are busy searching for a scapegoat. The establishment blames Donald Trump, while MAGA blames Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Others, echoing Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” remark, are inclined to fault the ignorance of the electorate. This “blame the voter” narrative may have a taste of sour grapes, but it makes a good deal of sense. Poll after poll shows that Americans share the pessimism of the Republican base. If voters don’t like the way things are heading, why did they reward the people running the show?

T. Belman. Harel agrees with me.

“If Netanyahu gives Smotrich and Co. what they seek, it will likely happen because he believes he has no other choice. To remove the criminal threat hanging over his head in a Jerusalem courtroom, Netanyahu desperately needs the support of the Haredim and the far-right to complete a few rapid legislative moves. The chance of any security stability will be sacrificed in favor of the constitutional revolution.“

Except that I happen to believe the pair will enhance security stability rather than impair it.

Within a few months Netanyahu may find himself and his new government facing a grave security crisis in the territories, alongside a severe strain in relations with the U.S. and the European Union

By Amos Harel, HAARETZ   15.11.22

The string of reports publicized over the past week is intended to gradually make the unbelievable seem normal. Ministerial appointments which until the election may have seemed delusional – Itamar Ben-Gvir to the Public Security Ministry, Bezalel Smotrich to the Defense Ministry – have undergone a quick process of legitimization through a calculated series of media leaks. The appointment of a convicted felon, Ben-Gvir, as the ministerial overseer of all police activity, hardly raises an eyebrow anymore. The political pundits are too busy with the nitty gritty of the horse trading underway, between the prime minister-in-waiting, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his prospective coalition partners.

T. Belman. Pure speculation. Singer offers no evidence in support of his speculation. Algiers is totally against the Abraham Accords. It has a border dispute with Morocco who also joined the Abraham Accords to the chagrin of Algiers. Morocco also did not attend. Nor has King Abdullah embraced the Plan.

They did not show up at the Arab League Summit recently. Does that mean they reject the Arab Peace Initiative for their own? Op-ed.

Dry Bones- Is Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine plan still alive?Y. Kirschen

Non-participation by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister – Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS) – and Jordan’s King Abdullah at the 31st Summit of the Arab League held in Algiers on 1 and 2 November – even via Zoom – was highly significant – signalling that the Saudi-based plan to merge Jordan, Gaza and part of the ‘West Bank’ into one territorial entity to be called the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine (HKoP solution) still remains a viable solution to replace the failed 20 years-old two-state solution proposed by the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative (API) – endorsed yet again in Algiers.

The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), a government watchdog established in 2008 to perform oversight on America’s $146 billion reconstruction project in the war-torn country, announced that for the first time in its history, the State and Treasury Departments will not comply with its investigations.

President Trump is still battling to expose possible voter fraud in the 2020 election and secure a second term.

As Revolver has repeatedly pointed out, Republican state legislators should be rallying behind the president, and pledging to appoint a pro-Trump slate of electors to the Electoral College if they are not adequately convinced the 2020 vote was fair and free of fraud.

Is the recent UN General Assembly vote to have the Hague prosecute Israel for de facto annexing Judea and Samaria behind Binyamin Netanyahu’s
announcement to Likud Party leaders that he will appoint a member of the Likud to be minister of defense?

On previous occasions that Israel faced proceedings in the Hague Mr. Netanyahu opted to impose building freezes and suspend activity against
illegal Palestinian construction in Area C.

Israel, the United States, Canada and Australia were among those nations who opposed the move.

The UN General Assembly voted 98-17 to seek an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on the illegality of Israel’s “occupation” of Palestinian territories on the grounds that it can be considered de-facto annexation.

The resolution specifically asked the ICJ for an opinion on the status of Jerusalem, which is one of the most volatile and contentious points of discord between Israelis and Palestinians.

T. Belman. Aside from a few smears that I have marked in red, this is a fair NYT  article, including the title. It goes so far as to say

“Religious Zionism’s supporters hope the alliance will use its leverage to strengthen their idea of a Jewish state by, among other things, promoting conservative family values, preserving the sanctity of the Sabbath and applying Jewish sovereignty in parts of the West Bank,”

I am sure this resonates with many people all over the world.

The extreme wing of the nationalist religious community has prevailed. At the same time, religious Zionists are increasingly part of the Israeli mainstream.

By Isabel Kershner, NY Times, ,  11/13/2022,  

HEBRON, West Bank — The Jewish settlement in the city of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, where a few hundred Orthodox Jews live amid some 200,000 Palestinians, has long been seen as a bastion of the far-right settler movement — on the fringes of Israeli society.

But after the Israeli election this month, an alliance of far-right parties, led by the Religious Zionism party reflecting the views of radical settlers, became the third-largest political force in Israel. The alliance, which also included the ultranationalist Jewish Power party, garnered more than 88 percent of the votes from the settlers in Hebron.
