What’s wrong with voting for Ayelet Shaked?  

The writer of this article) holds a degree in statistics and says there is no way Shaked will pass the threshold. Op-ed.

Oct 18, 2022,

Yair Lapid is a delightful man, far more genial than Netanyahu, and Benny Gantz is well-intentioned and good-looking. Nonetheless, if they continue to hold power, especially if that power is shared with their partners, Meretz and the likes of Ofer Kasif (the MK who said “Palestinians shooting IDF soldiers are like partisans fighting Nazis“), Israel’s fate will resemble a delicious chocolate cake baked for the holidays – it will disappear. Territorially.

We’re Jewish Berkeley Law Students, Excluded in Many Areas on Campus  

Even if there are no “Jewish-free” zones here, there are quite a few places where Jews are decidedly unwelcome.

(Oct. 17, 2022) We are second-year law students at the University of California, Berkeley. We are Jewish. And we are Zionists. (We are also speaking for ourselves, and not on behalf of the school or any organization.)

Friends, family, and the media repeatedly contacted us over the past several weeks to ask how it feels to be students at a school with “Jewish-free” zones. While there are no explicit “Jewish-free” zones at Berkeley Law, there is an unacceptable tolerance for excluding and demonizing Zionist identities. We want to share the impact this has on us as Jewish students.

Peter Bergson – The Unintended Hero of the Holocaust Era  

Saving 200,000 European Jews.

by  

Ken Burns’ The US and the Holocaust underplayed Peter Bergson’s role in the creation of the War Refuge Board, which is said to have saved 200,000 European Jews. Burns’ documentary, whether for ideological reasons or willful ignorance treated Bergson’s role as an afterthought. On the other hand, Rabbi Stephen Wise, Bergson’s nemesis received positive attention in Burns’ documentary. Yet, it was Stephen Wise who told the antisemitic State Department to hold off on distributing Gerhard Riegner’s report of the German Nazis systematic murder of Jews in Europe until he could verify it! It was pretty clear then, in 1943, that Hitler’s Germany intended to annihilate Europe’s Jews.

From protester to fighter: Fleeing Iran’s brutal crackdown to take up arms over the border  

A teenage dissident trailed behind a group of smugglers in the borderlands of western Iran. For three days, Rezan trekked a rocky mountain range and walked through minefields along a winding path forged by seasoned smugglers to circumnavigate the country’s heavily armed Revolutionary Guards. It was a trip too dangerous for respite of much more than a few stolen moments at a time.

Is Trump’s critique of American Jews justified?  

T. Belman. Blum nails it. She is the daughter of the late Commentary editor, Norman Podhoretz and Midge Decter. Commentary was my favorite publication when growing up.  I read every article and saved every edition for many decades.

Kindly note how she spells “antisemitic”. Today. it is most common to spell it “anti-Semitic”. I am with her and I often amend articles that I post to correct the spelling. In the fifties and sixties, the only spelling one used was antisemitic. This is not about being against Semites. It is not about Semites. It is about Jews.

The response to the former US president’s Truth Social post has been nothing short of a hysterical – purposeful – misreading of his words, which were neither threatening nor antisemitic.

 By  Ruthie Blum

The response to the former US president’s Truth Social post has been nothing short of a hysterical – purposeful – misreading of his words, which were neither threatening nor antisemitic.

The latest brouhaha surrounding former US President Donald Trump pertains to comments he posted on Sunday about – and directed to – American Jews.

Iranian Kurds Fear Regime’s Threat of Incursion  

The crisis in western Iran is intensifying. As Sanandaj and other cities burn, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) last weekend issued a curious statement threatening a military incursion into Kurdish northern Iraq.

The statement read: “In case of inability of some neighbors in expelling elements of separatist terrorists and hypocrites stationed in the border areas… the armored and special forces units of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces are ready to be deployed to free this region of these evils forever.”

What is a kamikaze drone?  

T. Belman. The drone costs bout $20,000 compared to an average of $13 million for a missile. They are easy to shoot down as their speed is 115 miles/hr. The also have a small payload. Iran is sending them to Hezbollah and Syria too. The Iron Dome missile costs between $20,000 and $100,000 each depending on who you believe.

Ukrainian officials said Russia killed at least four people on Monday by detonating a so-called kamikaze drone in Kyiv, the latest apparent use of the unmanned explosive device.

The officials suggested the strike — one of 28 drones that targeted the Ukrainian capital on Monday — appeared to involve an Iranian Shahed-136 drone, with video showing an aircraft quickly lowering on its target in the city’s center.

Kanye West’s Dark, Twisted Fantasy and Jewish reality.  

T. Belman. Weiss rightfully castigates Kanye but she is off the mark on Trump who said “No President has done more for Israel than I have,” and “US Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel—Before it is too late!”” She erroneously called this a threat. She went on to say, “However you read the opaque missive, the toxic notion of the ungrateful Jew is unambiguous” thereby labeling Trump, an antisemite. No way, no how. He was merely doing what all politicians do, namely drawing attention to his achievements and calling for support. Trump is voicing his consternation in asking why Jews don’t support him more. Good question though. He was also saying that Biden is a threat to Israel. Couldn’t agree more.

Yesterday was any given Sunday in America, which meant that most Jews were not at all astonished when we looked down at our phones and discovered a former president was calling us ingrates and one of the most famous artists in the world was doing Louis Farrakhan one better. We are long past astonishment.

Netanyahu decides to steamroll Shaked in last stretch of campaign – report  

T. Belman. Very disappointing. Netanyahu better know what he is doing.. He must be confident that he will reach 61 seats particularly if he crushes her.

According to Channel 12, after dithering over how to handle the struggling Jewish Home leader, the opposition chief now aims to deprive her of even ‘a single right-wing voter’

Netanyahu’s plan is to ensure “that Shaked is not left with a single right-wing voter,” Channel 12 news reported on the thinking in the Likud leader’s inner circle.

Russian ex-president: If Israel sends weapons to Ukraine it will destroy Moscow ties

Kanye West, Louis Farrakhan & Leftist Double Standards  

T. Belman. Spencer points out that Farrakhan is undoubtedly an antisemite but the legacy media has never chastised him for it. But it crucified Kanye because he is a powerful voice for the right. Horowitx, a Jew, says Kanye is not an antisemite. That really surprised me.

What bank does Farrakhan deal with and has it canceled his account?


Kanye West recently became the object of worldwide opprobrium when he tweeted:

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

The tweet was removed, his account was locked, and he has faced a storm of criticism over his his tweet. JP Morgan Chase even canceled his bank accounts.

In Support of Kanye West  

A heroic leader who should be supported by every patriot who loves our country.

Kanye West is one of the most important voices in the black community and a leading force in the battle to save our country from the onslaught of the Biden administration and the fascist Left. Despite the mountain of slanders directed at him in the last week, Kanye West is not an antisemite any more than Donald Trump is a white supremacist. Both are targets of the largest and most vicious witch-hunt in American history, directed by the Biden administration and its kept media.

Trump: ‘Jews Have to Get Their Act Together’ in Supporting Israel  

By Eric Mack,  NEWSMAX  16 October 2022 

Picking up his long-held criticism of Jewish Americans not taking enough concern for Israel, former President Donald Trump warned American Jews must “get their act together” on appreciating Israel “before it is too late.”

“No president has done more for Israel than I have,” Trump wrote Saturday on Truth Social. “Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S. Those living in Israel, though, are a different story – highest approval rating in the world, could easily be P.M.! U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel – before it is too late!”
