Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, responded on Saturday night to the murderous attack at the entrance to Ariel on Saturday night.

“We all share the pain of the family of the slain and the entire people of Israel after the horrific attack at the entrance to the capital of Samaria. A young hero’s life was cut short only because he was a Jew, two days before Memorial Day and Independence Day,” he said.

If the Biden administration’s goal really was to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, Biden and his advisors would have responded forcefully to Iran’s actions.

By Caroline Glick, ISRAEL HAYOM

On Tuesday, Israel Hayom reported that there is a growing sense among Israeli and US officials that the Biden administration will not reach a nuclear accord with Iran. To be understood the report has to be seen in the context of a statement made later Tuesday by President Joe Biden’s press secretary Jen Psaki.

During her daily press briefing, Psaki said that the administration assesses that Iran is just weeks away from nuclear breakout capabilities. Nuclear breakout is reached when a state achieves the independent wherewithal to develop nuclear weapons. A nuclear breakout state does not necessarily have nuclear weapons. But it is regarded as a nuclear armed state because it has the capacity to build a nuclear arsenal at will and within a relatively short period of time.

A recent comment tells us everything about the danger to the west from the Biden administration

By Melanie Phillips

Samson and Delilah; Anthony van Dyck, c 1630

Earlier this week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the breakout time for Iran to produce fissile material for a nuclear weapon had now come down to “a matter of weeks”.

This is clearly deeply alarming news. But why did Blinken choose to announce this to the world? After all, it invites the question, “So what are you going to do about it?”

“We are dealing with megalomaniacs, psychopaths, and sociopaths…”

Just like many people all over the world, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich watched as numerous governments didn’t hesitate in the slightest to hurl citizens into lockdowns over the COVID-19 pandemic. That was just the start as social distancing, mask mandates, and the highly controversial COVID-19 drug followed shortly after.

NATO secretary-general says alliance is ready to support Ukraine in the war against Russia for years. Russian ministry says it used a diesel submarine in the Black Sea to strike Ukrainian military targets with Kalibr cruise missiles.

Witnessing “an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain” in Kyiv, UN Chief Guterres condemns Moscow for attacks on civilians. Sweden’s prime minister rejects referendum on possible NATO membership.

Ukraine’s leader accused Russia of trying to humiliate the United Nations by raining missiles on Kyiv during a visit by Secretary-General António Guterres, an attack that shattered the capital’s tentative return to normality as the focus of the war moved east.

T. Belman. There is much in this article that I disagree with. I want only to deal with is “the desire to establish a rules-based World Order”. It would be nice but it ain’t gonna happen. Rules are always broken and need a force to uphold them. In my article Can the UN impose a solution on Israel? I refer to  The Plan to Have the UN Rule.  The author quotes from a State Department official in 1945;

“ there is no provision in the Charter itself that contemplates ending war. It is true the Charter provides for force to bring peace, but such use of force is itself war. The Charter is built to prepare for war, not to promote peace. The Charter is a war document, not a peace document.

Not only does the Charter organization not prevent future wars, it makes it practically certain that we shall have future wars, and as to such wars it takes from us the power to declare them, to choose on which side we shall fight, to determine what forces and military equipment we shall use in the war, and to control and command our sons who do the fighting.”

Besides, for Nations wouldn’t accept such an organization as it a diminishment of their sovereignty. That’s why it was necessary to give Russia, US, China, Great Britain and France a veto or they wouldn’t have joined. National interests come first.

If the response of democratic nations to the Russian invasion is to promote a rules-based world order, it begs the question of how useful the world body can be as long as Moscow exercises a power of veto.

(April 29, 2022 / JNS) A recent letter delivered to U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres by 200 former senior U.N. officials included a bleak warning regarding the consequences should diplomacy fail to end Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Such an outcome would mean that “the U.N. becoming increasingly irrelevant and, eventually, succumbing to the fate of its predecessor, the League of Nations, with the human losses and material destruction that went with it,” the letter declared.

What is Judaism’s holiest site? It is a simple question with an obvious answer. Thrice daily, Jews pray for the restoration of sacred service to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. It is toward this location that all Jewish prayers have been poured out since the Temple was destroyed. The Mount is the only area on earth where, according to a Jewish law, certain parts cannot be entered in a state of ritual impurity, and many traditional Jews have refrained from ascending to the site lest they violate Jewish law.

Yet many now believe that, with a knowledge of the layout, history, and religious laws pertaining to the location, it is permissible to visit certain parts of the Temple Mount Plaza. They do so under religious guidance, immersing first in a ritual bath, or mikvah, in order to commune with the God they believe still dwells at what is unquestionably Judaism’s holiest site.

Alhamdulillah.

After years of silence in the face of demonization, UK elites are fighting back against an Islamist campaign to abolish Prevent, an imperfect, but hugely necessary counter-extremism program established in 2010 to reduce the threat of terrorism.

The opening salvo of this counterattack came on April 26 when the Policy Exchange, a non-partisan think tank issued a report titled “Delegitimizing Counter-Terrorism: The Activist Campaign to Demonise Prevent.” The report details how “a number of inter-related, well-organised, and media-savvy campaigns […] have sought to undermine Prevent and counterextremism efforts.”

The simmering conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia over the construction of a massive dam on the Blue Nile could have grave ramifications for Israel

By Martin Sherman, IISS

…no one can take a drop from Egypt’s water, and if it happens, there will be inconceivable instability in the region. – Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Aljazeera, March 30, 2021.

…we … don’t want to live in darkness – Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, Aljazeera, March 30,  2021.

These two short quotes encapsulate the essence of the brewing conflict between the leaders of the two North African nations over the waters of the Nile, triggered by the construction of a huge dam on the Blue Nile by Ethiopia, just east of its border with Sudan. The dam—the Great Ethiopian Renaissances Dan (GERD) is the largest in Africa and one of the largest in the world.

Hundreds of Arab rioters, some masked, threw stones and fired fireworks on the Temple Mount on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan (making for an intriguing “What I did on my Ramadan Vacation” report). At least one stone landed in the Kotel Plaza below, where Jews were engaged in the morning prayer. Police entered the Temple Mount compound and used tear gas and rubber bullets to repel the rioters. The Red Crescent reported that 12 were injured in the clashes.

The Jewish state is being persecuted worldwide by an international community fixated on making it look as bad as possible.

By Alan Baker, JCPA

(JNS) The penchant for criticizing Israel, whatever it may or may not do, appears to have become a permanent fixation. Whether such criticism relates to Israel’s internal policies, governance of the territories and responses to terror attacks, or situations with no apparent linkage to Israel, the obsession with Israel and its alleged malfeasances inevitably emerges.

No such fixation exists in regard to any other country. The obsessives single out Israel as a butt of criticism for any and every reason. It appears to be an ingrained component of the psyche of those who revel in it and seek out every opportunity to denigrate and delegitimize the Jewish state.

American Jewish leaders refuse to confront the pro-Palestinian Left, out of fear being ostracized from the Democrat Democrat Party as “islamophobes” which tells you everything about the left and their jihadic allies. This is the result. Today, the pro-Palestinian Left is making life for American Jews unsafe. Most especially on college campuses. A strong Jewish civil rights organization is urgently needed in America. An organization that will not cower to the Left.

Something Isn’t Working’: Israeli Researchers Urge Overhaul of Strategies to Combat 2021 Rise in Antisemitic Attacks Worldwide (INCLUDING IN THE US)

T. Belman. Unfortunately they never report on who the perpetrators are? Who might that be?

Noah Shack, Vice President, GTA at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), said: “We are concerned to see how severely hate crime is impacting Toronto’s Jewish, Black, East and Southeast Asian, and LGBTQ2S+ communities”.  What the f..k!  Rather than point out who is responsible for the attacks or that Jews were in a class by themselves as the targeted group, he came out with a statement deploring hate of any group.

Jews constitute 3.8% of the population of Toronto, but make up 22% of hate crime victims.

Israel National News>

A new report by the Toronto Police Service (TPS) on local hate crimes in 2021 shows the city’s Jewish community remains the most targeted group amid a disturbing surge in such crimes. In its annual report of hate-motivated verbal threats, physical assaults and vandalism, the TPS said Jews were the most victimized group last year, experiencing 22 percent of all cases reported to police despite constituting just 3.8 percent of the population of Toronto..

During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast, pray, engage in acts of piety and charity, and reminisce over warfare and bloodshed in the name of Islam.

Virtually every Ramadan features various Islamic authorities, personages, and/or institutes reminding Muslims to take pride in and celebrate various historic battles between Muslims and non-Muslims, or “infidels” (as in this hour long televised special). Among other things, such victories are meant to demonstrate the power, and thus truth, of Islam.
