It’s ‘Pride’ Month Again  

By Trevor Thomas, AM THINKER

As you almost certainly well know by now, it’s Pervert — aka “Pride” — Month again. Whenever you hear “Pride Month,” remember, this is the kind of thing the LGBTMYNAMISLEGION apologists take “pride” in (warning: graphic content):

Why is Israel so inept at expelling Arabs?  

If there truly was a “decades-long effort” by the government to “force” Arab residents to leave, surely, they would have been gone long ago. Op-ed.

 

Shimon Hatzaddik (Sheikh Jarrah) and surrounding areaNati Shohat/Flash90

(JNS) Did you know that Israel is currently carrying out a “systematic mass expulsion” of Palestinian Arabs from its territory?

You don’t? Neither do I.

Some prominent groups on the Jewish left are making that claim, however—thus raising an interesting question: Why are the Israelis, who are so advanced when it comes to high-tech, medical, scientific and military matters, so incredibly inept when it comes to expelling Arabs?

Yamina MK: If Judea and Samaria law doesn’t pass, we’ll apply sovereignty  

T. Belman. Why resort to a temporary law needing renewal every 5 years. Instead extend sovereignty outright to all of Area C or at least the settlements and the Jordan Valley. The only problem is that Likud would rather bring down the coalition rather than vote for sovereignty. After they succeed in bringing down the government they can always pass the sovereignty law in three months.

Deputy Minister Abir Kara (Yamina) on Friday commented on the political crisis in an interview with Channel 12 News, and said that he had spoken with MK Nir Orbach, who is contemplating his next move after receiving an offer with the Likud.

“Nir is strong and stable. I understand Orbach’s anger after he sees that Ra’am and Meretz vote against the coalition,” said Kara.

Why are Jewish leaders laundering the Labour party?  

T. Belman. The problem in both the US and the UK is with left leaning Jews who can’t be weaned from the Democratic Party and the Labour Party, respectively.

The belief that it has dealt with its antisemitism is distinctly premature

By Melanie Phillips


Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and Labour party leader Sir Keir Starmer, May 2022

With the Conservative Party in crisis and the “red wall” northern constituencies reportedly ending their brief love affair with the Tories, the Labour Party is said to be back in the political game after its near-death experience under Jeremy Corbyn.

Everyone apart from Boris Johnson appears to believe that, unless the Conservative Party changes course, Labour’s current leader Sir Keir Starmer has a good chance of becoming prime minister at the next general election.

WSJ: A Jordanian Future for the West Bank?  

T. Belman. The author served as a Min of Foreign Affairs for a Labour Government. I have marked in red what incensed me in his first paragraph. I couldn’t read on.

IDSF made reference to such a confederation as one of plans that have been suggested. I was dead set against it when I first read of it and wrote to Brigadier General (res.) Amir Avivi, the CEO of  IDSF telling him so and included this article.  The Jordanian Confederation/Federation Plan as per the IDSF with Israpundit’s critique” Our discussions are ongoing.

With an independent Palestinian state as remote as ever, the idea of a Palestine-Jordan confederation deserves a new look

By Shlomo Ben-Ami, WSJ    June 9/22

In April, the Jewish holiday of Passover overlapped with the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, raising tensions throughout the Israeli-occupied West Bank, which is home to approximately 2.5 million Arabs and 500,000 Jews. Ominous clashes took place at Jerusalem’s Haram alSharif, known to Jews as the Temple Mount—a holy site for both faiths that has become a defining symbol of the Palestinian national cause. Conflict there has the potential to escalate into an apocalyptic confrontation that would inflame the entire Muslim world.

The Evidence Is Real — Dead People Are Voting  

By J. Christian Adams, DAILY CALLER

(Photo by JASON REDMOND/AFP via Getty Images

The 2020 election was full of chaos and irregularities. States like Georgia and Pennsylvania took days to finalize election results. Mail ballots were found on floors of apartment floor lobbies. Dead people were even voting in states across the country!

Unfortunately, people have been voting from beyond the grave since well before 2020. (RELATED: SNEAD: 2020’s Nightmare Election Process Has Come Back To Haunt Pennsylvania. Here’s What Needs To Change)

A Canadian to an American Friend: You Think You Have It Bad?  

By David Solway, PJ MEDIA      JUN 07, 2022

An American friend writes me that conditions in her country could not be worse. The good are increasingly persecuted and abused by the bad and the ugly. I reply that, yes, Americans think they have it bad — and they do. But if they want to see how far and fast the dregs of the so-called “social order” can rise to the top and the best sink to the bottom, I invite them to visit Canada.

Of course, we all suffer from the same derecho of adversarial forces: Big Government, Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Media, as well as myopic and corrupt leadership at every level. But in Canada, there are no provinces (with the partial and insecure exception of Saskatchewan) analogous to the “red states” in the U.S. where sanity and liberty yet prevail and government answers to the people. Residents of “blue states” can decamp for “fresh woods and pastures new,” but we have no such option.

Kiev forces use Western weapons against civilians in Donbass  

By 

Western weapons are used against civilian targets, resulting in death of innocent people, including children. Writes Lucas Leiroz

In the last week, the sending of Western heavy artillery to Ukraine, with long-range missile systems, was one of the most commented topics in newspapers around the world. After the announcement by the American government that such equipment would be placed on Ukrainian territory, many experts began to fiercely criticize the measure, considering it a threat of escalation of the conflict. And, as expected by analysts and Russian authorities, weapons immediately began to be used illegally, resulting in new war crimes.

Israel needs leaders who are willing to win  

Since the First Lebanon War 40 years ago, all of Israel’s military operations have stemmed from being provoked, mistakes, and distress. None of them, other than Operation Defensive Shield during the Second Intifada, accomplished any goals.

By  Nadav Haetzni, IH   June 10/22

In early June 1982, when the First Lebanon War erupted, I was a young Artillery Corps officer on the northern border. Very quickly, around a month after I completed the officers’ training course, I found myself leading dozens of soldiers into Lebanon, in what was called at the time Operation Peace for Galilee. I spent a year and a half in the Land of the Cedars – from the Ayun Valley to Ain Zhalta, and the hills overlooking Beirut to Lake Qaraoun. I rained countless shells on the enemy; I was showered with candies by the joyous Christians and Druze. I guarded the peace talks between Israel and Lebanon, which resulted in an “Abraham Accord” of sorts.

A group of bipartisan US lawmakers from both houses of Congress introduced legislation on Thursday aimed at integrating the air defense systems of Israel and neighboring Arab states.

Motivations include bolstering defense cooperation between Israel and Arab nations and thwarting threats from Iran and its proxies, the Haaretz newspaper reported.

The Crux of World History  

T. Belman. Please answer the question. Why are we hated so for thousands of years, without abatement? What is it about Judaism or Jews that gives rise to such hatred?  Or should I ask, what is it about human psychology that produces such hatred?

Francisco Gil-White asked and answered the question, Why is there antisemitism?

The Crux of World History answers this question. I show that there has been and still is so much antisemitism in the West because Judaism is the original mass movement of the political left. It is the original movement of progressive politics, preaching freedom, justice, equality, ethics, and compassion. This is precisely why the Western ruling classes have always persecuted the Jews and taught ordinary gentiles to hate them, lest ordinary people learn from the Jews that they have a right to live in freedom and equality. Once this is understood, the history of the West, with its endless sequence of anti-Jewish massacres, will, for the first time, make sense. Only if good people quickly come to understand this can the next genocide — already upon us — be prevented.

He wrote this before “progressive” took on new meaning.

By Joan Swirsky

King Solomon said, (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

The sun rises, and the sun goes down…all streams run to the sea… what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

In his prescience, King Solomon no doubt knew that one of the things that would remain the same was the obdurate persistence––over thousands of years––of maniacal Jew hatred and a fanatical loathing of Israel.

Palestinians, Yet Again, Attack Jewish Pilgrims On Temple Mount  

Only a week after Jerusalem Day. It’s relentless.

Another Jewish holiday, another Arab attack on Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount. This time, it was the religious holiday of Shavuot, on June 5, exactly a week after Jerusalem Day, May 29, when Arabs last threw rocks and Molotov cocktails from inside Al-Aqsa at Jewish pilgrims. A report on the latest outbreak of Arab violence on Temple Mount is here: “Police clash with Palestinians on Temple Mount as Jews visit during Shavuot holiday,” Times of Israel, June 5, 2022

Understanding The Six-Day War  

The classic example of legal use of force under international law.

By Ari Lieberman, FPM

<
>

June 5th marked the 55th anniversary of the Six-Day War of 1967. Palestinians refer to the war as the “Naqsah,” or setback. But no matter what you call it, the Six-Day War has no parallel in modern military history. It ended with Israel vanquishing the collective military might of the Arab world. The armies of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq collapsed in the face of a well-trained, highly motivated Israeli Army.

On paper, Israel should have lost. In every category – tanks, artillery, airpower, naval forces and manpower, Israel was badly outnumbered. But as the current Ukraine-Russia conflict reminds us, in war there are intangibles that cannot be quantified or otherwise reduced to a number.

New Missouri law bans pharmacists from questioning doctors who prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine  

Missouri Governor Mike Parson holds to the view that it is up to a doctor and his or her patient to make decisions that affect patient health, particularly given COVID-19, for which an experimental vaccine is being forced on the public via mandates in many jurisdictions. Vaccine mandates have become a partisan issue, with the GOP mostly opposing mandates. According to the Kansas City Star, Parson, who is Republican, has just “signed into law a bill that bars pharmacists from questioning doctors” who prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

Panels Politics Poll: Netanyahu Could Lead a 69-Member Right-Wing-Only Coalition But He Won’t  

T. Belman. David Israel raises an interesting point.  Would Bibi prefer to embrace left wing Gantz or right wing Sa’ar and/or Bennett?

By David Israel , JEWISH PRESS

Will new elections change the political map and lead to a clear decision between the two main blocs? Four consecutive elections have failed to produce a decisive result for either bloc, and so, after the third try, Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz attempted to co-exist for about a year, and after the fourth, the strangest bunch of bedfellows took over and they, too, don’t appear to go anywhere. So, why should we expect a fifth election to produce different results (and, by the way, it wasn’t Einstein who said that bit about madness and expecting the same action to produce different results – the first time it appeared in print was in a 1981 article about 12-step programs).

Iran, Turkey brace for face-off in Syria  

Iran has been trying to dissuade Turkey from a fresh intervention in Syria while making military preparations on the ground to protect its interests amid a growing rift between the two neighbors.

Driven apart by clashing regional interests, Turkey and Iran appear headed for a face-off in Syria, with Tehran explicitly opposing Ankara’s plan for a fresh military operation against Kurdish-held areas, wary of risks to its own posture in the region.
