Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu issues a video statement on the corruption cases against him, January 24, 2022.

Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu publicly declared Monday that he has not agreed to acknowledge “moral turpitude” as part of a potential plea bargain that would end his corruption trial, and said he had no intention of leaving politics.

He issued the video statement, his first public reference to two weeks of reports on behind-the-scenes negotiations on a possible deal, in an apparent response to the collapse of the talks with Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit.

Is Ukraine blackmailing Biden into a losing WW3?  

By Mark Langfan, INN

Everybody saw “The Video.” What video? The video of then-Vice President Biden bragging that he had threatened to withhold billions of dollars in free US aid money if Ukraine didn’t fire the Ukrainian prosecutor who just so happened to be investigating the Ukrainian company in which his son Hunter was involved. Hunter, it seems, was reaping over $3,000,000 in “pay-to-play” payola for doing nothing and having zero experience in the company’s business affairs.

TIERNEY NEWS 24/1/22  

Guess what? Remember when I reported in December 2020 that Trump had an executive order written that instructed the military to seize Dominion voting machines to examine them for potential fraud and appoint a special counsel to review election irregularities BEFORE January 6th?

Well, there was. Bill Barr allegedly even told Pelosi’s J6 committee about it. I’m guessing it was stopped by Senate RINOs like McConnell, Rubio, Graham & Romney who told Trump they would impeach and REMOVE him from office if he followed through with his plans to expose the stolen election.

Then they worked with Pelosi, the FBI & the Capitol police to set up the false flag “insurrection” to frame him. Hannity was part of trying to STOP Trump. Remember they just revealed these text messages that Hannity sent to Team Trump to stop pursuing election fraud:

An Israeli Woman opens up about Covid and Israel  

Ury Weiss. One of the good things which happened throughout this PLAN-DEMIC in Israel, is some unification between the left and and the right. Left and right, became irrelevant when it became clear that the government policy is to euthanize the elderly and by doing so, to induce fear and panic in the general population. People don’t have to be scientists to understand that going to a hospital will probably end your life, but staying home with chicken soup and the Zelenko protocol will get you healthy.

The induced panic throughout the population was synchronized throughout the world, in order to promote a gene therapy experimental injection for the purpose of shrinking the world population and to introduce through these so called vaccines, the building blocks of Trans Humanism, ie introduction of AI (Artificial Intelligence) nano robots to interact and create a new specie of Humanoids, who could be fully controlled by the 5G cloud.

It is a shame that the woman interviewed is still a victim of the character assassination which was conducted around the clock for years against the former Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu. All his criminal charges are bogus charges, all fabricated by the Israeli Deep State. On all charges in his fake indictment, Bibi Netanyahu is 100% innocent. The real criminals are the Police investigators, the office of the Attorney General, the Supreme Court and even the Intelligence services.

Bibi Netanyahu is 100% guilty of Crimes Against Humanity regarding the Corona PLAN-DEMIC, but there is not a chance in the world, he would stand in trial for these crimes…

Smotrich Rebukes Deceased Supreme Court President Miriam Naor  

By David Israel, JEWISH PRESS

Former Supreme Court President Miriam Naor passed away on Monday at age 74. She became a Supreme Court justice in 2003 and served as president from 2015 to 2017. She was succeeded by Esther Hayut, may she live long and prosper.

Religious Zionism Chairman MK Bezalel Smotrich veered from the long-established custom known as “Acharei Mot-Kedoshim,” citing the names of two back-to-back Torah parashot that create a statement suggesting that once a person dies he or she are treated as righteous people.

The Muslim Claim to Jerusalem- off again, on again  

by Daniel Pipes, Middle East Quarterly  (Published 2001)

The Camp David II summit and the “Aqsa intifada” that followed have confirmed what everyone had long known: Jerusalem is the knottiest issue facing Arab and Israeli negotiators.

In part, the problem is practical: the Palestinians insist that the capital of Israel serve as the capital of their future state too, something Israelis are loathe to accept. But mostly, the problem is religious: the ancient city has sacred associations for Jews and Muslims alike (and Christians too, of course; but Christians today no longer make an independent political claim to Jerusalem), and both insist on sovereignty over their overlapping sacred areas.

In Jerusalem, theological and historical claims matter; they are the functional equivalent to the deed to the city and have direct operational consequences. Jewish and Muslim connections to the city therefore require evaluation.

King Abdullah needs to abdicate (Published Aug 2017)  

By Ted Belman

I met Mudar Zahran, currently the Secretary General of the Jordan Opposition Coalition (JOC), some six years ago and have kept closely in touch with him over the years.  I watched the JOC being formed and take shape, just as I watched their plan Operation Jordan is Palestine (OJIP) take shape. The goal of the latter is:

“To establish Jordan as the Palestinian homeland, in accordance with international law, where refugees will be settled within safe and secure borders, allowing Israel to become a fully recognized, sovereign state over all of its soil, including all land west of the Jordan River.”

To make this possible, King Abdullah needs to abdicate.

Should American Jews Worry About Antisemitism?  

by Victor Rosenthal

A recent survey tells us that more than 90% of American Jews are “concerned” about antisemitism, and almost half of them have experienced it either directly, or “through family or friends.” I wondered if things were better or worse for Jews than when I grew up, and I can’t say. I was born during WWII and my youth and young adulthood in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s in the USA don’t provide an answer. My American-born parents were completely secular, and although their circle of friends was almost entirely made up of Jews (even when we lived in a non-Jewish neighborhood of the New York suburbs), they were not especially concerned with “Jewish” issues. The conversation at the dinner table was more likely to revolve around social activities than politics, and even when it did turn to politics, Jewishness rarely came into it.

The UN Descent to its Deepest Depths of Hostility against Israel  

By Amb. Alan Baker, JCPA

The UN Human Rights Council
The UN Human Rights Council, Geneva – (UN Photo/Jean-Marc Ferre)

  • In establishing an “ongoing independent international commission of inquiry” targeting Israel, the UN Human Rights Council and the UN are permitting themselves to be abused and manipulated by states, many of which are among the most ardent and prevailing human rights violators in the international community that have no genuine concern for promoting and protecting human rights.
  • The oft-quoted human rights buzzwords and related expressions used in the resolution establishing the commission are nothing more than a transparent and unsubtle cover intended to deceive states and to attract maximal support for the commission’s ultimate purpose to vilify and delegitimize the State of Israel.

Former South African chief justice given 10 days to apologize for defending Israel  

Mogoeng had refused to apologize, saying South Africa’s judges should not be “censored, gagged or muzzled.”

By World Israel News Staff, Jan 22/22

South Africa’s Judicial Conduct Appeals Committee issued a statement on Thursday giving former Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng 10 days to make an “unconditional apology for becoming involved in political controversy.”

“I’m under an obligation as a Christian to love Israel, to pray for [the] peace of Jerusalem, which actually means the peace of Israel, and I cannot, as I Christian, do anything other than love and pray for Israel, because I know, hatred for Israel by me and for my nation, can only attract unprecedented curses upon our nation,” Mogoeng stated in July 2020 during a webinar discussion with South African Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein that was hosted by The Jerusalem Post.

The UN’s Unprecedented Witch Hunt Against Israel  

By Jordan Cope, AM THINKER

While largely established to forge “friendly relations among nations,” the U.N. has been anything but friendly toward the Jewish state: Israel.

In fact, the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) has long afforded a platform and impunity for those promoting Israel’s destruction and the ethnic cleansing of Jews from their homeland.  In 1974, the UNGA hosted the then-chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Yasser Arafat, who infamously referenced his “freedom fighter’s gun” during his speech.  At that time the PLO was an “internationally recognized terrorist organization” with its charter stating that “[a]rmed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.”

Jewish assertiveness  

Judaism has to be authentic, with values my father held dear, innately and organically Jewish, not progressive attempts to ‘pass’.Op-ed.

By Matthew M. Hausman, J.D. INN

There’s a crisis in American Jewish leadership and it involves the misuse of communal authority to sanction dogmatic politics.

As reported in the Jewish media in December, a scheduled speaking engagement by Professor Alan Dershowitz was cancelled at New York’s Temple Emanu-El, a prominent American Reform congregation. The temple rescinded an invitation to the staunchly pro-Israel Dershowitz but welcomed Peter Beinart, whose hostile views on Israel are perhaps more consistent with the progressive intellectual elite.

Biden’s Colossal Failure on Iran: Redesignate the Houthis a Foreign Terrorist Organization  

by Pete Hoekstra, GATESTONE INSTITUTE  •  January 22, 2022

  • The Houthis serve as Iran’s proxy in the civil war in Yemen and against Saudi Arabia, which backs the internationally recognized Republic of Yemen government. The UAE, which hosts U.S. military forces at Al Dhafra air base, has been a part of the Saudi coalition to support the official Yemeni government.
  • With its decisions to delist the Houthis, sideline the Abraham Accords, and focus on diplomacy all within days of each other, the Biden administration demonstrated the lengths it would go to reenter the deeply flawed, Obama-era nuclear deal with Iran.

Biden Against Israel Pipeline to Europe, Fine With Putin’s Pipeline  

 By

As I wrote in today’s article,”to play by their rules, Vladimir has tapes of them with micturating prostitutes in a Moscow hotel room.”

After four years of “what does Putin have on him” and “how would this administration be any different if Putin were calling the shots”, the party responsible for all that treasonous garbage seems to be doing everything possible to help Moscow while screaming America and our allies.

Canada looking forward to welcoming 1,000,000 Afghans who want in  

T. Belman. Lucky for me I left in 2009. Canada is light years away from the Harper years.

This is like the US letting in 10 million Afghans.

BY

Canada is not vetting its refugees, illegals, or economic migrants. In fact, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau supports open borders no matter what. Who could forget the big welcome from globalist Trudeau, who also threw out a welcome mat even to returning Islamic State fighters. In 2018, Canada announced plans to “lead the charge” for the UN Migration Pact. And those whom Canada was welcoming weren’t persecuted Christians. Then a year later, Canada set out a country-wide plan to welcome more than 1,000,000 new immigrants over three years. It looks like the Trudeau Liberals were right on track: 1,000,000 unvetted Afghans want to come to Canada. What timing. Although the process hasn’t yet started to bring in nearly that amount, “Cabinet has proposed to raise the national quota to 411,000 more immigrants in 2022 and 421,000 in 2023.”

Money and Power The Abandoning of America  

By Ray DiLorenzo, STAND UP AMERICA

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government. —Thomas JeffersonIt’s a bitter thing to realize that all the institutions you trusted through these many years have turned against you. It’s a hard place to be when these institutions and concerns, governmental, medical, educational, media, and multi-nationals have abandoned everything you believe in and everything on which country was founded.It’s even worse when you find that it was for the sake of money and power. It has become apparent that these institutions have sold out our country for mere cash, much of it Chinese cash. They say the quest for profit knows no ideology, but this is a new low. So much trust has been broken all around, especially concerning the health care industry. Read more…
