The West Bank is burning, and more and more young Palestinians are embracing armed resistance against Israel and do not accept the authority of the Palestinian Authority or its leader. Israel’s operational response –

Operation Break the Wave – heightens the motivation toward additional waves of terror, and the PA apparatuses are not able (and barely want) to defuse the volatile situation. Chaos is on the brink, and the “day after Abbas” is already here. How should Israel extricate itself from the cycle of escalation that feeds on itself?

Republicans want to hold the majority and co-exist with Democrats, while Democrats, under the influence of the Left, want to eliminate Republicans.

This fundamental difference between the two sides was on display during Biden’s fascist rant in Philadelphia where he denounced half the country as a threat to democracy.

A notable uptick in Israeli air operations against Iran-linked targets on Syrian soil has taken place over the last month, according to regional media.

Israeli aircraft struck Aleppo Airport in northern Syria on September 6. This operation followed on the heels of an earlier strike at the same target, on August 31. According to SANA, the official Syrian regime media agency, the raid on September 6 damaged the runway, putting it temporarily out of service.

T. Belman. As far as I understand it, the President has little discretion.

“The president selects the prime minister as the party leader most able to form a government, based on the number of parliament seats his or her coalition has won. After the president’s selection, the prime minister has forty-five days to form a government.”

President Herzog: ‘I’ll work to promote a broad unity government at any price’

Reports have emerged that Israeli President Isaac Herzog intends to use the powers inherent in his position to work toward the formation of a “broad unity government” following the upcoming national elections in November.

According to several Knesset members who were present during closed conversations that Herzog held with MKs from both left-wing and right-wing parties, the President said, using the following words:

For a period of nine months, the Reagan Administration conducted secret discussions through an intermediary with Yasir Arafat, the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, according to American participants in the effort.

They said that the purpose of the talks was consistent with previous attempts by the Carter Administration to persuade the Palestinian leaders to accept the American offer of recognition of their organization in return for acceptance by the P.L.O. of Israel’s right to exist. After the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in June 1982, the talks were broken off by the P.L.O. with no certain sign that they were succeeding.

In May of this year, Audi posted a video on Twitter with the caption “At #EUDiversityMonth #Audi”. It had little to do with advertising the car itself. It was an advertisement for diversity, and of a very specific kind. A woman wearing a black hijab slowly raised the rainbow flag with her both hands. Once again: a Muslim woman in traditional Islamic clothing advertises the LGBT community. Considering how Muslims treat gays, lesbians and transgenders, this is comparable to the Nazis advertising kosher products, and the Stalinists advertising the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Nevertheless, this curiosity is a prime example of the direction in which the process of globalization is moving.<

T. Belman. In hindsight we see that attacking Afghanistan and Iraq in the wake of 9-11 gained the US nothing and cost it trillions. I always ask everyone, what should it have done in response?

Wurmser is an expert on Middle East affairs. He served as senior member of the Bush administration’s National Security Council.

“This administration thinks that the actual ability to restrain Iran isn’t as important as the political gain from having done what Trump couldn’t do or didn’t do,” says Wurmser.

There’s a debate raging over the numbers of Jews and Arabs living between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. At its center are two vastly different views, each of which merits serious consideration

Around two months ago, the director of the Palestinian Authority’s Central Bureau of Statistics issued an unusual statement, one that in more normal times would have resonated on both sides of the Green Line. Dr. Ula Awad announced that for the first time, according to the bureau’s findings, parity exists in terms of the number of Jews and Arabs living between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Each group numbers approximately 7 million people, she maintains. Among the Palestinians, some 3.2 million live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, 2.1 million in the Gaza Strip, and within Israel there are 1.7 million Arab citizens.

The numbers are inflated by over 1 million. Also Gaza  2.1 m should not be counted.  For a more detailed analysis Ettinger reports in 2022 Inflated Palestinian Demography. According to Ettinger the Arabs, between the river and Gaza, represent only 32% of the total population and their percentage is falling. It is the hope of the Jordan Option to reduce this to 27%.

_{A weak deal with Tehran will likely wait until after the midterms; at the same time, the administration’s push for a gas pact with Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon illustrates its misguided Mideast strategy.}

(JNS) No one is happier about the apparent deadlock in the nuclear talks between the United States and Iran than Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid. Had the Iranians finally agreed to a new and even weaker agreement than the one that Barack Obama negotiated in 2015, it would have been a political disaster for the head of the makeshift temporary Israeli coalition government. Lapid has been all-in on the notion that soft-pedaling opposition to President Joe Biden’s reckless push for appeasement of Tehran was more effective than a stand that would seek to mobilize opposition to such a disastrous policy. A new agreement would also expose Lapid to devastating criticism from former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in advance of the Knesset election on Nov. 1.
