The lifting of sanctions against Iran is a disaster. Iran gets access to $28 billion sequestered and frozen in Western banks, a lifting of the oil embargo, and access to the SWIFT banking system. All these concessions are in return for absolutely nothing.

They are tantamount, at the least, to a surrender of the goal of stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons, a goal the current administration never really shared.

But, worse, the administration’s decision to lift the sanctions against Iran reflects not so much weakness as a radical change in American policy and priorities.

The left is built upon a mountain of falsehoods but two of the biggest are that humankind is trembling on the brink of destruction because of ‘climate change’ and that onerous COVID restrictions are the only things keeping us alive. So what are we to make of an unmasked Obama standing around construction workers, very grumpy about work on his multimillion-dollar beachfront Hawaiian mansion. What I make of it is that both “climate change” and COVID restrictions are huge parts of that mountain of lies.

Here’s the picture that is a microcosm of all the lies:

Gantz and Bennett order halt to discussions on approving construction plan for E-1 area, due to objections from Meretz and the US.

E1 land, between Jerusalem and Maale AdumimFlash 90

Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett have ordered the Judea and Samaria High Planning Committee to suspend discussions on approving the construction plan for the E-1 area, which connects Ma’ale Adumim and Jerusalem, Israel Hayom reports.

This is a plan that covers an area of ??about 12,000 dunams, most of them state-owned land, and which centers around the construction of about 3,500 housing units.

The following notes will be confounding to some, confirming to others. They represent a good bit of time listening and trying to decode the persona and messaging of Dr. Robert Malone, which, for some time, have struck me as off-kilter for a prominent leader of the covid-tyranny opposition.

I embarked on this little project after finding myself troubled after last month’s “Defeat the Mandates” march in Washington, D.C. Maybe it was the organizer’s assurances that 90 percent of the speakers were “vaccinated” that made me realize the baseline assumptions of what has been coalescing as the organized pushback (carrying over into Sen. Ron Johnson’s panel, “Covid 19: A Second Opinion,” in the U.S. Senate) share far too much common ground with the architects of our destruction.

Seventy-seven percent of the NGOs cited in Amnesty International’s damning report against Israel (Israel’s Apartheid Against Palestinians) were Israeli organizations that received a total of $105,209,347 (NIS 337,553,677) from foreign governments since 2012, Im Tirtzu reported on Sunday.

According to Im Tirtzu, Amnesty International’s report accusing Israel of being an apartheid state was heavily based on information provided by “radical anti-Zionist” Israeli NGOs.

Throughout the 280-page report, 26 NGOs (16 of them Israeli) were cited 597 times out of the total 1559 citations in the report.

Surprise! Liberal American Jewry feels “betrayed” by the Bennett-Lapid government.

Here they had such high hopes that if Israel would just get rid of “hard-line right-winger” Netanyahu, then the Jewish state would behave herself. After all, not only is Netanyahu out, but the new government under Naftali Bennett includes left-wing parties Meretz and Labor, and even an Arab Islamist party. And yet, we are still acting like a sovereign state, and a democratic one that must respond to the demands of an electorate, at that! Israel still fails to understand, it seems, that Rick Jacobs of the Union for Reform Judaism in the USA knows what’s good for us better than we do.

Because the angry debate about Whoopi Goldberg’s statements is focused on the definition of racism and its role in the Holocaust, perhaps the views of Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) himself will be of interest.

In one of his last statements on Judaism (3 February 1945), Hitler told Martin Bormann (1900–1945), his personal secretary and head of the NSDAP chancellery:

I never held the opinion that the Chinese or the Japanese, for example, were racially inferior. … I admit that their tradition is superior to ours. … Our Nordic racial consciousness is aggressive only towards the Jewish race. However, we speak of a Jewish race only for reasons of linguistic convenience, for … from the genetic point of view, there is no Jewish race. Circumstances make us label in this way a racially and spiritually coherent group, membership in which is claimed by Jews all over the world, no matter which individual citizenship is given by passports. This group of people we call the Jewish race. … The Jewish race is most of all a spiritual community. … Spiritual race is tougher and more enduring than natural race. The Jew, wherever he goes,  remains a Jew … and to us he must appear as a piece of evidence for the superiority of “spirit” over flesh.  (H. Trevor-Roper, A. Francois-Poncet, eds., Hitlers Politisches Testament. Die Bormann Diktate vom Februar und April 1945, Hamburg: Albrecht Knaus, 1981, pp. 66, 68, 69)

Ahead of the battle over who will succeed him, Abu Mazen is using a series of decisions on appointments and candidacies taken recently at the Fatah Central Committee to appoint loyalists and allies to senior positions; these appointments are expected to be approved by the PLO’s Central Council.

These decisions are seen as an underhanded move by Abu Mazen and his associates, and have sparked anger in the Palestinian arena, both among the public and the political opposition, which will try with greater effort to stir up the West Bank. This in turn could well weaken the Palestinian Authority and undermine the security of the Jewish settlements there

A series of decisions made by the Central Committee of the Fatah movement headed by Chairman Abu Mazen prior to the convening of the PLO’s Central Council has sparked anger in the Palestinian arena and raised questions regarding the future of the PLO and the possibility of intra-Palestinian reconciliation. The questions also relate to the very ability to carry out the policy to which Abu Mazen is committed, according to the speech he gave in September 2021 at the UN Security Council. This includes rescinding the recognition of Israel and withdrawing from the Palestinians’ commitments if Israel doesn’t end the occupation within one year. In a process that was imposed on the members of the committee and did not allow any real room for opposition, a series of appointments and candidacies were declared regarding figures from among Abu Mazen’s associates and loyalists.

The ADL’s pathological refusal to state the truth that Amnesty International and the miserable report it issued this week are anti-Jewish indicate that in the campaign against the existence of the State of Israel, the ADL is not on the side of the Jews.

One of the more curious responses to Amnesty International’s Israel Apartheid report this week came from the Anti-Defamation League. Monday, the heads of Amnesty held a press conference in Israel’s capital Jerusalem. In it they presented the main “findings” of the “investigation” they conducted regarding the status of Israel’s existence.

It works out that after years of “careful study,” Amnesty’s entirely professional “researchers” determined that Israel has no right to exist. The Law of Return, which grants automatic citizenship to Jews after two thousand years of homeless wanderings, is a type of apartheid. Israel’s Jewish identity is apartheid, they said.

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s insensitivity toward the Jewish people apparently dates back to at least the 1990s.This week ABC placed the star on a two-week suspension after she claimed the Holocaust, which resulted in the deaths of six million Jews, was “not about race.” As a brief refresher, Nazi German leader Adolf Hitler wanted to establish a master Aryan race. His plan included exterminating all the Jews, whom he viewed as “parasitic vermin,” according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Read more…

Azerbaijan has presided over a tectonic shift in Eurasia, serving as a counterbalance to Iran while slipping out of Moscow’s bear hug more adeptly than any other post-Soviet state. In his latest essay, Dr. Michael Doran argues that Washington must partner with countries that are willing and able to do the hard work of containing our adversaries, and that Azerbaijan could provide a crucial bulwark against Russia and Iran.

See below for key takeaways, and learn more about the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, a new Hudson initiative led by Doran dedicated to bolstering American interests and allies in this pivotal region so that the U.S. can prevail in the new era of great power competition.

• “There is a growing threat that seeks to transform the European Union into an ideologically charged federalist super-state; a corporation which disregards national identity and sovereignty, and therefore democracy, plurality and the interests of the citizens of the nations that form the Union. This drift endangers the Union itself by moving away from the Christian European ideals on which it was founded…. We should cooperate and join forces to protect Europe from enforced ideologies and anti-democratic drift that are leading to its downfall.” — Joint Statement, Madrid Summit, January 29, 2022.

While there is no consensus in the Arab League when it comes to re-admitting Syria into the political organization, Iranian media appears to be focused on this issue.

Iran’s Tasnim news published an article based on a piece in The New Arab that analyzed the current issues involved. This comes as The National, a UAE newspaper, reported that “Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said on Wednesday that the Syrian regime was unlikely to be present at the next Arab summit, with consensus lacking to readmit the country into the organisation. But Mr Aboul Gheit said member states would discuss letting the regime of Bashar Al Assad back in next month.”“Sources in the Arab League in Cairo said that the UAE has started moves to launch the case,” they reported.

It’s a common occurrence in winter. A patient calls a primary physician to report a nonproductive cough, slight hoarseness, muscle aches, and a low-grade fever. The physician, and likely the patient, realize that this is almost certainly a viral upper respiratory infection. If the patient were in the office, the physician may test for a streptococcal bacterial infection, but it will likely be negative.

This is probably an infection with a rhinovirus, adenovirus, or endemic coronavirus. Despite this, the afflicted patient will happily proceed to the pharmacy to pick up their prescription for an antibiotic. The patient will feel as though the physician was proactive, something the doctor certainly understands.

There’s hardly a Muslim terrorist attack committed by a single perpetrator in Europe or America in the last five years that the authorities and the media haven’t tried to spin as mental illness.

Both Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, the Syrian Muslim mass killer who shot up a Boulder supermarket, and Faisal Akram, who took a Texas temple hostage to secure the release of ‘Lady Al Qaeda’, had their attacks blamed on mental illness.

But France continues to lead the world in whitewashing Muslim terrorism as mental illness.
