Palestinianism makes the conflict in the Land of Israel a zero-sum game.

By  Victor Rosenthal, ISRAEL HAYOM

Palestinianism is a closed system of memes that includes a historical narrative, a cause to which its believers aspire and an idiosyncratic language in which familiar words have special meanings. In this, it is similar to Marxism, which is not surprising, given its origins. Believers in this system include those who self-identify as Palestinians and many in the Western left who support the Palestinian cause.

Palestinianism originated in the 1960s and was created by the cognitive warriors of the Soviet KGB. At the time, the Soviets were supporting pan-Arab nationalists like Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser in order to counter American and British influence in the Middle East. With the decline of pan-Arabism, Palestinianism became a useful way to incite the Arab world against the West. It also provided an excuse for opposing Israel, which the USSR now considered an enemy. Ironically, the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin had initially hoped that Israel would join the socialist camp, but it had become clear by the mid-1950s that Israel was drawing closer to the West.

There will be increased fighting on the West Bank – but not by the Palestinian Authority against the IDF.

by Hugh Fitzgerald, FPM

A former Palestinian intelligence officer predicts that after Mahmoud Abbas dies, there will be increased fighting on the West Bank, not by the Palestinian Authority against the IDF, but in a “gang war” pitting three different factions of Fatah against one another, each trying to gain control of the PA. His analysis can be found here: “PA not interested in military showdown with IDF – ex-PA intel commander,” by Khaled Abu Toameh, Jerusalem Post, September 18, 2022:

By Anshel Pfeffer, HAARETZ

Israeli raids on militant strongholds, especially in the Jenin area of the West Bank, have become a near-daily occurrence, especially since the Palestinian Authority’s security apparatus has all but given up on trying to maintain a semblance of order in the town.

Shurat HaDin founder Nitsana Darshan-Leitner

Once upon a time, it was mostly terrorism financers who rued the day that Nitsana Darshan-Leitner founded Shurat HaDin – Israel Law Center in 2002. The organization has won mega-judgments against Iran, Syria, North Korea and the Palestinian Authority (though the PA judgment fell on appeal).

As prospects for a revived joint U.S.-Iranian nuclear agreement fade in Vienna, the West is growing more concerned with the Islamic Republic’s proximity to acquiring nuclear capabilities. While the Iranian regime has boasted that it is just “one step away” from blowing up New York City, its escalating threats toward Israel indicate the Jewish state remains its top regional target. Iranian officials claimed to possess a long-range missile capable of reaching the city of Haifa last month, in the latest in a string of hostile acts of aggression toward Israel. As Iran inches toward its nuclear goals, the Jewish state is technically instructed by its Begin Doctrine to take out this threat before it comes to fruition. If Israel acted to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities, the regime would likely turn to its prime modes of weaponry- proxy warfare and ballistic missiles.

STOP WORLD CONTROL

English Version, World Congress of Families 2019 Speech

By Robert W Malone MD, MS

The video above is of a fantastic speech that was given by new (incoming) Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni to the World Congress of Families in 2019. In this video, I am providing a voiceover, because (of course) she presents in Italian.

In my opinion, the importance of this speech is that it really puts the lie to the mainstream media storyline that Meloni and her Brothers of Italy (Fratelli d”Italia) are fascists. The words I am speaking in the video are an English translation of her words, and although I endorse many aspects of her platform, the views being presented are not necessarily mine. In particular, I agree with many of the points which she made (particularly about personal responsibility as well as the importance of family and children), but not all.

Washington has no objections to Kiev using Western-supplied weapons to target territories that may decide to join Russia, as the US considers the vote to do so illegitimate, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.

The US and its allies have supplied Ukraine with a variety of weapons, including tube and rocket artillery. At a joint press conference with his Indian counterpart Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Washington, Blinken was asked if the US had any objections to Ukraine using those weapons to attack targets in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, which just wrapped up a vote on joining Russia.

T.Belman. In my opinion, the US is responsible for doing this. Biden wanted to prevent the EU from making peace with Russia and giving it no choice but to fight on. If Russia can’t turn the taps back on what’s the point of making peace?

Tucker Carlson questions what happened to the Nord Stream pipeline

Moscow says nothing can be ruled out and suggests it’s possible the pipeline was damaged intentionally

RUSSIA TODAY

The Nord Stream pipelines may have been damaged in an act of sabotage, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov suggested when asked about the possible reasons for sudden pressure loss in three of the Baltic Sea gas network’s lines.

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Peskov commented on a statement made by Nord Stream AG, the operator of the network, which said three offshore lines of the Nord Stream pipeline system sustained “unprecedented” damage in just one day.
