Opinion | Biden Is Making a Big Mistake With the Abraham Accords  

T. Belman.  I hope her worst fears come true. She is obsessed with the poor Palestinians and is begging for someone to help them.

“That’s why U.S. leadership is needed: either to encourage inclusion efforts, or to encourage the Arab states to condition further normalization with Israel on concessions – or even just further confidence building measures – for the Palestinians. But the Biden administration so far has demonstrated no interest in “pushing” Israel.”

I am disgusted by this. Haaretz is committed to the Palestinian clause and against the Zionist project.

No one expects Biden to spend political capital (or even much time) on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during his upcoming Mideast trip. But as Israel and its new Gulf allies fast-track ties, excluding the Palestinians feeds disturbing trends

By Dahlia Scheindlin, HAARETZ   5.7.22

The Abraham Accords of 2020, normalizing relations between Israel and four Arab countries, was a triumph for Israel but represented bitter lemons for Palestinians. The deals ripped up any residual solidarity that Arab nations once sought to convey for the plight of Palestinians. Any incentives for Israel’s leadership to advance a future peace, or even slow its expanding control over Palestinians, appeared to vanish.

It Had to Be This Way  

For those that don’t understand why it had to be this way, think about the optics in 2017 juxtaposed to 2022.

I think many of you forgot what it was like in 2017. Trying to wake up normies was a tough business. My friends and family looked at me like I was an eight-headed monster when I told them that a global Deep State entity infiltrated the US government to include the White House, nearly all of Congress, the highest echelons of the DOJ, FBI, CIA, DNI, State Dept, the mainstream media, big tech, social media, Hollywood, academia, pharmaceuticals, health care, etc.

Poor Little “Palestine”  

by Steve Kramer

The Palestinian Arabs resent the fact that the Saudis and other Gulf Arabs are becoming much closer with Israel, while only paying lip service to the “Palestinian cause.”  Hence the Palestinian terrorists are continuing their fomenting of terror attacks against Israelis in an attempt to gain the West’s – and the Gulf Arabs’ – attention and sympathy. It’s a strategy that has worked b<

Zionist Revolutionary Poetry Comes Alive In New Book  

By Moshe Phillips

It can be argued that this happened in June. The Complete and Translated Poetic Works of Avraham Stern published by Yishai Edberg is the first book of English translations of history’s key Zionist revolutionary.

The best defense is a good offense  

Israel must respond to Hezbollah’s attempt to spy on its gas field and target the terror group’s drone system.

By  Vice Adm. (ret.) Eliezer Marom, IH

On Saturday, the IDF’s Barak 1 missile system intercepted three drones that had been launched by Hezbollah “on an intelligence-gathering mission” of Israel’s Karish gas field.

This is a historic interception because for the first time it showed that the system, which had been installed on navy ships many years ago, was operational, effective, and accurate.

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola  5,7.22     Fact Checked

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

    • Examples of Level 4 adverse events — all of which were written off as “not related” to the mRNA injection — include acute respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, brain abscess, adrenal carcinoma (adrenal cancer) and chronic myeloid leukemia (blood and bone marrow cancer)

In Memory of Dr. Vladimir Zev Zelenko  

By Dr Harvey Risch  (Dr Risch asked me to publish this.)

Dr. Zev Zelenko had both moral and intellectual courage in a society dominated by go-along-to-get-along.  Dr. Zelenko was an astute physician, keenly aware of the nuances in disease presentations of his patients. They came to him for treatment of the respiratory disease that would become Covid-19.

Dr. Zelenko’s mind was always active in thinking about the best ways to care for his patients, and in the absence of established methods of treatment, he searched for what other clinicians had been doing for this and similar respiratory infections.

‘Profound change in Saudi Arabia could bode well for future Jerusalem-Riyadh ties’  

Exclusive: Senior Israel Hayom journalist Yoav Limor visits Saudi Arabia and is pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and friendly atmosphere.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is seen before the Formula One race in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Dec. 5, 2021 | File photo: Reuters/Andrej Isakovic

On Sunday night, while in a restaurant in Riyadh, a local young man sitting next to me asked me from where I was. “Israel,” I replied. He laughed, and moved on. Shortly before leaving, he looked at me again and asked, “Israel, really?” I said “yes,” to which he replied, “Wow, welcome. We welcome everyone here happily, from all religions.”

Saudi Arabia was a pleasant surprise. Friendly. Happy. Not even mentioning Israel brought anyone down. I tested this on several cab drivers and market vendors. Some smiled and shook their head in disbelief or worry, others were curious and struck up a conversation. I wondered if any of them had ever met an Israeli before, or heard Hebrew, but no one made us feel unwelcome in the kingdom, home to the holiest sites of Islam, not even for a moment.

Shaked, Sa’ar may move jobs in reshuffle; Blue and White, New Hope in talks – report  

T, Belman. Key take away.  Liberman said “I think I am no less [capable of becoming prime minister] in terms of seniority, ability, execution and knowledge,”  adding that there was a chance he would cooperate with the Likud party, but only if it were led by someone other than Benjamin Netanyahu.”

That gives Likud one more option in forming government.

Biblical Moses, the foundation of US – Israel Ties  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” “Israel Hayom”, October 23, 2016,

According to Prof. Robert Bellah, a leading UC Berkeley sociologist, there is “a well-institutionalized civil religion” in the US, which stipulates separation between religion and state, but not between religion and society.  In fact, President John Quincy Adams wrote: “The law given from Sinai was a civil and municipal , as well as a moral and religious code.”

Prof. Bellah contended that civil liberties – reflecting more responsibility than rights – are Bible-driven: “Behind civil religion lie biblical archetypes [such as] the Exodus, Chosen People, Promised Land, New Jerusalem… a heritage of moral and religious experience….”

The Global Warming Narrative Just Hit a Literal Iceberg  

T. Belman.  Peg Tierney, draws attention to the fact that Communists in Russia and China induced famines, killing 20 million in Russia and 60 million in China and now they are playing this card again and the Dutch farmers are protesting en masse. I have posted her abstract at the bottom.

The Climate hoax and the Pandemic are tools of the Communists and NWO people to destabilize and impoverish people so that , the elite can take over.

By Matt Vespa, TOWNHALL

Global warming is not a serious topic. No one cares, but the left wants us all to suffer in order to drop the Earth’s temperature by less than a degree or whatever.

Let’s cannibalize future economic growth, curb population growth while we’re at it, and declare war on burgers.

When the world demonizes Israel  

There is no use trying to prove how moral Israel is because the world does not resent Israel for being immoral, but for being more moral than any other nation would be in Israel’s shoes. Op-ed.

Muslim Brotherhood supporters hold pro-Palestinian demonstration in AmmanReuters

Israeli leaders largely operate under the illusion that if only Israel were able to avert every Palestinian Arab civilian casualty, rein in all hilltop youths and silence all raving rightwing Zionists, the world would acknowledge that the greatest and most heartfelt desire of Israelis is to live in peace and let its neighbors enjoy peace and freedom.

Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s Speech  

By PM Yair Lapid

I want to start by thanking the 13th Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Naftali Bennett. For your decency, for your friendship and for leading the government this past year to economic and security achievements not seen here for years. A special thank you for allowing the citizens of Israel to see this week an orderly transition between people who keep agreements and believe in one another.

The State of Israel is bigger than all of us. More important than any of us. It was here before us, and will be here long after us. It doesn’t belong only to us. It belongs to those who dreamed of it for thousands of years in the Diaspora, and also to those yet to be born, to future generations.

Saudi Academic: “the Islamic world does not contribute anything to civilization and progress today “  

MEMRI

Saudi academic Dr. Marzouq Bin Tinbak said in a May 20, 2022 show on Al-Arabiya Network (Saudi Arabia) that the Islamic world does not contribute anything to civilization and progress today because it has recoiled from and rejected modernity and because it clings too closely to its heritage. He said that in contrast, some countries have managed to simultaneously conform to the novelty of Western civilization while preserving their heritage. In addition, Dr. Bin Tinbak said that traditional Islamic thought was appropriate for past eras, but that today’s modern world requires new fatwas and new ijtihad (religious reasoning).
