It is well known among astute political observers that it is easy to figure out what Democrats are planning.  All one needs to do is listen to their rhetoric and turn it around.  Earlier in the week, Hillary Clinton made a point of savaging the GOP as the party of fear, fraud, and fascism.  The Clintons never lacked for chutzpah, but Hillary is in a class of her own. It would be completely honest, a rare event, if she was talking about her own party.  Such claims are used for distraction purposes,  masking who they are and what they are planning.

Tzedek Chicago’s Address Is a P.O. Box. It Previously Described Its Core Value as “Non-Zionism.”

By Morton A. Klein and Elizabeth Berney, Esq., ZOA

(APRIL 7, 2022 / JNS) At first, it seems like a cruel April Fool’s joke when a “congregation” misleadingly named “Tzedek Chicago” officially and “proudly” announced last week that it was adopting “anti-Zionism” as its “core value.” Palestinian Arab terrorists murdered 11 innocent Jews, Druze, Christians and Ukrainians in Israel the same week, and were threatening and planning more terror. Jews in synagogues throughout the world were mourning and offering heartfelt prayers for the well-being of Israel and her people. Why, then, was a supposed Chicago congregation siding with, and giving aid and comfort to, the murderers of innocent fellow Jews and others?

T. Belman.  I previously posted, ” What is needed is for Likud to cut a deal with Yamina and New Hope or Israel Beitenu giving them another 13 seats at least. This has a chance of success. This is doable particularly if Bibi agrees to Bennett remaining PM for another year at least.”

Such a deal would avoid Lapid serving as PM until the next election. The first priority of such a government would be to get rid of Gantz as Min of Def.

Is Naftali Bennett bold – or crazy – enough to take this drastic, but politically savvy step? Op-ed.

By David Ben Horin, INN

Naftali Bennett can save his political future, even remain Prime Minister, if he decides to shock the world with just one bold move.

The score is tied 60-60. We are in political paralysis. Today, it’s as if elections were just held and a dozen parties are all maneuvering to form a new government.

Capitol Police did, in fact, let the protesters in the building.

By Julie Kelly, AM GREATNESS   April 7, 2022

How does a mob “illegally storm” the Capitol building when police let them in? That is the latest narrative-shifting question the media wants desperately to avoid after a federal judge on Wednesday found a January 6 defendant not guilty for his conduct during the protest at the Capitol that day.

Matthew Martin was arrested in Santa Fe, New Mexico on April 22, 2021; he later was charged with the four most common misdemeanors related to the Justice Department’s prosecution of Capitol protesters: entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct, violent entry, and parading in the Capitol building.

In reality, “Islamophobia” is as old as Islam itself.

By Raymond Ibrahim, FPM   Apr 8/22

The United Nations recently named March 15—also rather ominously known as the Ides of March—as “the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.”  In doing so, they have accepted and seek to mandate the idea that whatever fear (literally, phobia) non-Muslims have of Islam is unfounded and irrational, and therefore must be “combated.”

DAVID GOLDMAN IS ALWAYS WORTH LISTENING TO. HE BLAMES BIDEN FOR NOT TELLING ZELENSKYY TO MAKE A DEAL WITH PUTIN TO AVOID THE INVASION. HE ALSO SAYS THAT RUSSIA, WITH INDIA’S HELP, WILL WIN. HE DISCUSSES MANY GEOPOLITICAL ISSUES. VERY INTERESTING.

Via Egypt, Syria, Iraq or Turkey, or even directly: several possibilities are mooted for Israel to help wean Europe off Russian gas.

By Danny Zaken, GLOBES

The European energy crisis resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine demands quick solutions, and Israel’s gas fields represent one of them. Senior officials from the countries of the region and the US, and gas industry executives, all tell the same story: the US is urging with all its might the implementation of solutions that will reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian gas and oil.

T. Belman. I made the same observation with regard to Russia in my article, The Pot is calling the Kettle Black.

By Jerry Powlas, AM THINKER

Among the talking heads discussing Ukraine, more than a few have said things like “Ukraine is very corrupt.  We don’t need to get into that fight” and “We don’t have a dog in that fight.   The corruption in Ukraine is massive.”

But how corrupt are we?  I don’t know much about corruption in Ukraine, but corruption in the United States is a glaring problem that just about every citizen who is paying attention would acknowledge.  Are we any better than Ukraine?  Maybe worse?

Pope Francis in Malta. YouTube screen grab.

Pope Francis, despite being the head of worldwide Catholicism, always seems to be apologizing for the faith. In Malta, that apology extended to hiding the cross from illegal Muslim immigrants. This act of Christian cowardice was more poignant than usual, given that Malta, in the mid-16th century, was the site of one of the Catholic world’s bravest and most successful stands against Islam’s push to take over Europe.

There is as yet still no deterrent force that can stop Russia’s bombs and missiles and disrupt Vladimir Putin’s nihilist strategy.

By Victor Davis Hanson, AM GREATNESS    April 6, 2022

Even a truncated Russian Federation has four times the pre-war population of Ukraine. It enjoys well over 10 times the Ukrainian gross domestic product. Russia covers almost 30 times Ukraine’s area.

And how does Ukraine expel Russian troops from its borders when its Western allies must put particular restrictions on their life-giving military and financial aid?

As antisemitism continues to roar out of control, the west barely registers it

By Melanie Phillips

On New York’s Upper West Side last week, six Jewish boys aged 12 to 16 were the target of antisemitic intimidation by three other teenagers who were armed with a knife, sword and crowbar.

The three said they wanted to “get” the Jewish boys because they were Jews, and followed the group home before running away.

Israeli military officials say hermetically sealing up the fence for Palestinians would be a fool’s errand – and that they neutralize security threats much more effectively by other means

Yaniv Kubovich, HAARETZ

The well-known breaches along the security barrier between Israel and the West Bank, and the ease with which Palestinians can enter Israel without permits, have become a familiar recurring subject of debate and rancor following terrorist attacks. But defense officials say the situation is being carefully managed – and that it is not the result of any security failure, as has been widely represented.

Defense officials say the situation involves risk assessments, setting priorities for resources and maintaining a balance between security tensions within the Palestinian Authority.

T. Belman. The deal that Gantz wants isn’t on the table and will never be achieved. The the use of force.

The defense minister tells a diplomatic gathering that Israel is ‘in a race against time’ as Iran continues to enrich Uranium

Haaretz

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Wednesday that “plan B must be activated” should Iran and Western powers fail to strike a nuclear deal.

Speaking alongside Foreign Minister Yair Lapid during a joint briefing of 80 foreign ambassadors in Herzliya, Gantz said that Iran has continued to enrich Uranium to 60 percent purity, raising its stockpile from 10 kilograms to 50 since last August.

Pfizer hired 1,800 additional full-time employees in the first half of 2021 to deal with “the large increase” of adverse reactions to its COVID vaccine, newly released secret documents reveal. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine was made available under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) on Dec. 11, 2020. By February of 2021, the company was seeing so many safety signals, including in pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, it had to immediately hire 600 employees to process the data.

MK Yulia Malinovsky (Israel Beitenu, chaired by Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman) on Monday night tweeted an insulting message to Israel’s Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau: “The citizens of Israel should not be held hostage to Rabbi Lau’s personal whims. Nowhere in the sources (presumably religious sources – DI) is it written that the chief rabbi is the one who should sign the conversion certificates. To the attention of Rabbi Lau – you are a public servant and the government gave you your authority, and just as it gave it to you, it can also take it away.”

In pursuit of its utopian omelet, the Left cares little about the millions of middle-class Americans it must break to make it.

By Victor Davis Hanson, AM GREATNESS

The last 14 months have offered one of the rare occasions in recent American history when the hard Left has operated all the levers of federal government. The presidency, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the permanent bureaucratic state are all in progressive hands. And the result is a disaster that is uniting Americans in their revulsion of elitists whose crazy ideas are tearing apart the fabric of the country.
