On the coalition crisis: The day after Bennett  

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.

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.

Report: Russia to submit draft resolution against Israel  

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.

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.

A War That Could Change the World  

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.

By Amir Taheri, GATESTONE  •  June 19, 2022

  • 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.

France: Dangerous for Jews  

By Guy Millière, GATESTONBE  •  June 19, 2022

  • [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.

Terrible Mistake To Involve USA in Israeli Laser Program  

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.

Jordan’s King’s Health Failing Rapidly With No Clear Successor  

JaFaJ Intelligence Solutions   June 18/22

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.

The King’s Broken Heart

Words and Consequences: ‘West Bank’ vs. Judea and Samaria  

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?

Texas’s Gov. Abbott blocks and breaks that gargantuan incoming caravan  

By Monica Showalter, AM THINKER

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:

Christie Pits Riot in Toronto 1933  

T. Belman. I was born in 1937 and grew up close to the Toronto Jewish community. After the war, fellow Jews would tell me about this riot with great pride for having fought back. The riot lasted 6 hours.

Bam! Kapow! When 1930s Jewish mobsters beat up Nazis in the streets of America  

‘Gangsters vs. Nazis’ book tells how a New York judge secretly directed mafia bosses Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel to recruit an army of Jewish thugs to intimidate antisemites

By RENEE GHERT-ZAND, TOI       Today, 11:02 am

Carrying swastika flags, the German-American Bund parades down East 86th Street in New York City before a large rally at the Yorkville Casino. (New York World-Telegram and the Sun Newspaper Collection, Library of Congress, LC-USZ62-11748/courtesy Michael Benson)

New York judge Nathan D. Perlman was apparently a big believer in the adage: If you need a job done right, you’ve got to turn to the right people. So in 1938, he called up notorious Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky with a favor to ask of him.

HEADING TOWARD THE ABYSS  

In this bracing essay, David Horowitz calls out the Left for what it is–criminal, racist, and sometimes fascist. David argues that conservatives need to understand the utter bad faith with which the Left conducts itself, and stand up bravely to defend our country from the ravages of the Left.

By David Horowitz, POWERLINE

The crisis currently facing our nation is a crisis of faith – faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in the rule of law, and faith in the principle of equality before the law. The root cause of the lawlessness that is consuming our country is the monopoly of the executive power in Washington by a political party that has fallen under the control of the radical left. This left describes itself as “progressive,” but is focused on the goal of “re-imagining” American institutions and principles, in other words of dismantling the constitutional order that created the prosperity and freedoms that have shaped this country since its beginnings.
