Official Palestinian demographic numbers are highly-inflated, as documented by a study, which has been conducted since 2004:

*500,000 overseas residents, who have been away for over a year, are included in the Palestinian census, contrary to international regulations. 325,000 were included in the 1997 census, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, and 400,000 in 2005, according to the Palestinian Election Commission. The number grows steadily due to births.

*350,000 East Jerusalem Arabs are doubly-counted – by Israel and by the Palestinian Authority. The number grows daily due to births.

T. Belman. No. Our problem is that the elites are running cover for it and giving us a false image.

Our problem is not that we fear Islam — but that we know so little about it.

By William Kilpatrick, FPM

When the word “Islamophobia” first became current many years ago, I was sure it wouldn’t catch on. People, I thought, would quickly see that it was a gimmick—an obvious attempt to capitalize on “homophobia.” It was also an obvious attempt to stigmatize discussion and/or criticism of Islam as hateful.

I was wrong. The word has entered our language, and it doesn’t appear to be going away any time soon. And even though it is still obviously a ploy to prevent any honest discussion of Islam, very few are willing to admit as much in public.

Regavim has released a video highlighting the issue .

“The situation is so ridiculous, it’s difficult to explain how it has continued for so long,” said Tamar Sikurel, Regavim’s spokesperson. “The State of Israel continues to enforce a law that discriminates against Jews and bars them from purchasing land in the heart of the Land of Israel. Discrimination of this kind would be immediately struck down in any other modern democracy – but here, in our ancestral land, the government of the Jewish state is afraid to protect the rights of the Jewish People. It’s an outrage, an affront to justice and equality, and a badge of shame.”

T. Belman.  Turley’s monologue should be heard by everyone. My position from day one has been similar to Turley’s position and to what Mearsheimer has been saying. Russia’s demands were reasonable and should be acceded to.

Kissinger also said, “Russia was an ‘essential part of Europe’ for over four centuries, noting that European leaders must ‘not lose sight of the longer term relationship’ or otherwise risk putting Russia in a permanent alliance with China.” My position exactly. I argued that western Europe and Russia should “amalgamate”.

Turns out that hundreds of millions of dollars flowed from Bill Gates’ foundation to 11 of the 26 organizations that signed an open letter last month urging Twitter advertisers to boycott the company if Elon Musk restores free speech on the platform. Why would Gates be against Musk – who wants to put an electric car in every garage and send families to Mars?

Because Bill Gates is against free speech. Why? He wants to block all those who disagree with him on his “transhumanist” efforts to “control” and “reduce” the global population.

When I wrote an expose in March 2020 that exposed THAT fact – with PUBLIC sources – that Gates was likely behind the Wuhan virus along with Obama, Fauci, Xi, WHO & other Globalist elites – he sent his goons after me and threatened to sue me. Seriously.

– as Zelensky insists Putin has ‘no interest in talking’

• Former US secretary of state told conference that Ukraine should accept terms
• The 98-year-old added if they don’t begin negotiations there will be ‘upheavals’ 
• He said it would be ‘fatal’ for the West to get swept up in ‘mood of the moment’
• Summits will become pointless because ‘brute force does not talk it kills,’ Zelensky said
• Russia has been banned from the conference, in latest sign of Putin’s isolation

Henry Kissinger has said that the West should stop trying to inflict a crushing defeat on Russia and suggested that Ukraine should give up territory.

Former US secretary of state Mr Kissinger, 98, told the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland that Ukraine must begin negotiations ‘before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome’.

As the U.S. moves into elections mode, the last thing the Democrats want to talk about is policy. Instead, they’re taking a page out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook and attempting to brand Republicans as racist and evil. Op-ed.

(JNS) Demonization, the effort to portray a political rival as an inhuman monster, has long been a means to mobilize public support. The ancient Romans did it. The Soviets didn’t know there was another option.

While negative campaigning is a tried and true method for winning elections in the free world, actual demonization was a fairly rare phenomenon, particularly in the United States, until after the turn of the century. But in recent decades, and with unprecedented intensity and venom since 2016, the Democrats have aped the Soviets and adopted demonization as their main political tool for winning elections. The primary object of their hatred is former President Donald Trump.

• These Palestinians are evidently fed up with the rampant corruption and bad governance of the Palestinian Authority leadership. Moreover, these Palestinians who no longer support Abbas are stating that they have no interest in any peace process with Israel.
• As the last poll showed, 70% of the Palestinians are opposed to an unconditional return to peace negotiations with Israel. Another 58% expressed opposition to the two-state solution.

T. Belman. “To be antisemitic is to be anti-European”. This is nonsense. To be antisemitic is to hate Jews. Europe has never defended its Jews. Just the opposite.

Also you cannot support both Israel and the two-state solution.  They are contradictory. If you support the two-state solution as Europe and America do, you are anti-Israel.

Roberta Metsola expresses support for Israel and 2-state solution to jeers from Arab and far-right lawmakers; Knesset speaker tells her EU should condition funding to Palestinians

Addressing the Knesset on Monday, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said antisemitism was contrary to European values, vowed to combat Jew-hatred, and expressed support for Israel and a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Gen. Michael E. Kurilla (l), Commander, U.S. Central Command, met with IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi (r) to discuss Iranian nuclear threats and other regional matters.

On Thursday morning, an error in identification caused Israeli air defenses to launch interceptors in the North. Alarms were heard in several communities. Analysts believed a drone flown by Hezbollah might have been the culprit, but it all turned out to be a false alarm and apparently a mistake.

Two days before, however, Hezbollah had indeed launched a drone and Israel had to down the threat.

The university claims it fired me for a long-past offense—for which I was already punished—but the truth should worry everyone.

By Joshua Katz , WSJ   May 23, 2022 

Nearly two years ago, I wrote in these pages, “I survived cancellation at Princeton.” I was wrong. The university where I taught for nearly a quarter of a century and which promoted me to the tenured ranks in 2006, has revoked my tenure and dismissed me. Whoever you are and whatever your beliefs, this should terrify you.

The issues around my termination aren’t easy to summarize. What is nearly impossible to deny (though Princeton does deny it) is that I have been subjected to “cultural double jeopardy,” with the university relitigating a long-past offense—I had a consensual relationship with a 21-year-old student—for which I was already suspended for a year without pay well over a decade after my offense. This was, I emphasize, a violation of an internal university rule, not a Title IX matter or any other crime.
