This is a slightly edited version of an article published originally under the title “Who Benefits from Recent Reports on Israel-US-Gulf Ties?”

Representatives of the UAE, U.S., Israel, Bahrain, Morocco, and Egypt at the Steering Committee of the Negev Forum, June 27, 2022.

Recent reports have indicated that Israel and Arab states have held “unprecedented” and “secret” talks, initiated by the US, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The report says, Israel, the US and Saudi Arabia, along with Egypt and Gulf countries took part in the meetings.

Meanwhile, another report says the US “secretly reviews Israel’s plans for strikes against Iranian targets in Syria” and there is talk of a Middle East “NATO.”

There is very real antisemitism inextricably bound up with the UN’s Commission of Inquiry, which is destined to cause serious harm to genuine victims of violence and discrimination unless it is stopped.

The United Nations has started a dangerous process that its creators hope will conclude with the end of the Jewish state. But events over the past two weeks indicate that arriving at that ignominious result will also ravage the bedrock rules upon which the system of international law and justice depends.

A year ago, the United Nations’ top human rights body created a “Commission of Inquiry” on Israel, and on June 7, 2022, the “inquiry” published its first report. On June 13 and 14, 2022, the three inquisitors presented their report to the Human Rights Council and a specially convened press conference for global media outlets.

Farewell to a physician, scientist, and activist for medical rights who touched the lives of millions of people.

Frontpage Editors  7.1.22

It is with immense sorrow that we announce the passing of our founder Dr. Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko. Dr. Zelenko was a physician, scientist, and activist for medical rights who touched the lives of millions of people. Some were saved as his role as a doctor, and even more were inspired by his words. His “Zelenko Protocol” saved millions and earned him a Nobel Prize nomination and the admiration of a U.S. President among other prominent world leaders.

Palestinian authorities in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip systematically torture critics in detention, a practice that could amount to crimes against humanity, an international rights group said Friday.

In its report, Human Rights Watch (HRW) called for donor countries to cut off funding to Palestinian security forces that commit such crimes and urged the International Criminal Court to investigate.

The Supreme Court on Thursday handed down a 6-3 decision in West Virginia v. EPA that denied the EPA’s authority to enact sweeping regulations for greenhouse gases that would “decarbonize” American energy under the Clean Air Act.

In a blow to Democrats and climate alarmists, the opinion said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its unelected bureaucrats could not use portions of the Clean Air Act to make rules limiting how the United States generates electricity and uses energy — such as ending the use of coal-fired power generation. The legal mess decided by SCOTUS Thursday arose from the Obama administration’s attempt to wage war on reliable energy sources that, according to leftists and Democrats, are killing the planet.

In an article published June 25, 2022 on Elaph.com, UAE political analyst and commentator Salem Al-Ketbi wonders what options are available to the countries of the region for tackling the Iranian threat, given that the current nuclear negotiations between Iran and the West in Vienna are “almost clinically dead,” and also given that, in recent years, Iran has come close to making a nuclear bomb and has expanded its arsenal of weapons and drones.

Noting that reality has proven the ineffectiveness of economic, political, or diplomatic pressure on Iran, Al-Ketbi states that the European countries, which are interested in cooperation with Iran, are unlikely to allow such pressures, and the same is true of Russia and China, who are allies of Iran. He adds that the U.S. too will not hasten to use pressure against Iran, either because of its approaching midterm Congressional elections or for fear that such a move will encourage the establishment of an Iran-Russia-China alliance. The military option is an effective way to eliminate the Iranian regime, he says, but that the chances that the U.S. will pursue this option are slim.  He thus concludes that the only option left to the countries of the region is “establishing a network of defensive alliances” to deter Iran and defend any country it threatens. He adds that the Gulf states have no choice but to strengthen their ties with Israel and Turkey.

The dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on.

On his upcoming visit to the Middle East, which will take place from July 13-16, President Biden will make three stops – in Jerusalem, to meet with Acting Prime Minister Yair Lapid; in Ramallah (or possibly Bethlehem), to meet with Mahmoud Abbas; and in Jeddah, where Biden will participate in a summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council and three other Arab states, with leaders of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt.

We’ve all been aware of the stories about the FBI arresting conservatives—and by that, I don’t mean the way the FBI has hunted down every grannie and veteran who, made ignorant by the systematic removal of “no trespassing” signs and fencing, and the Capitol police holding open doors, entered the Capitol and wandered around reverently. That’s bad enough. But the FBI is also going after high-level, high-profile political operatives (advisors, politicians, journalists) who have dared challenge Biden’s rise to the White House. On Wednesday, Tucker Carlson finally put together a list of the brutal, humiliating, seemingly lawless arrests, and it’s really shocking.

Predetermined algorithms caused widespread election fraud in Maricopa County, Arizona. Jovan Hutton Pulitzer told a packed room on June 27 that he conducted a forensic kinematic investigation of the ballots that “shows sufficient and irrefutable evidence of pervasive voter fraud and widespread election fraud in Maricopa County, Arizona.” Pulitzer explained that “specific ballots” were repeatedly and fraudulently inserted to predetermine the election’s winner. In short, the Maricopa election was an absolute mess that robbed many voters of their 14th amendment rights. Pulitzer said he is still knee-deep in the investigation.

T. Belman. I find this article very problematic and ask, when did it every live? For the last hundred years Israel has been abused by the law’.

In addition, the UN and the ICC both single out Israel for abuse.. Despots have always done what they want. The biggest despots of them all, the US, Russia and China constantly defy the law and besides have a veto to protect them from the UN.

Beyond that the author said a few things I totally disagree with and have marked in red.

In law school, I learned the quip,  “INTERNATIONAL LAW” is not law and its not international.

What are the implications of a return to a world order in which despots do what they will and small nations suffer what they must?

What is the idea of  the deep-state [in Israel]?

A large group of old-generation government officials who were never elected in the election, most of them  graduates of progressive foreign funds [in expensive foreign University] in collaboration with military and intelligence personnel [and now under the control of the foreign organization- Wexner  Foundation which paid their study], loyal to a collapsed archaic regime that fails to return to power, secretly band together and manipulate to return to power.

For a president who sought to walk away from the Middle East, focus American foreign policy toward its traditional alliances, and end America’s oil dependency, Joe Biden’s policy of treating the Saudis like a “pariah” never made much sense. His forthcoming visit to the desert kingdom is an acknowledgment of that.

The public has simply had it with the Middle East after watching successive governments fail to transform the region over two decades through hot wars, drone wars, and wars for hearts and minds. College students are too young to remember 9/11. Older Americans remember but now resent the blood and treasure squandered for little to no gain. The war on terrorism is over (or perhaps it’s on hold until the next major attack). For better or worse, gone are the days of exporting traditional American values abroad. Americans are more interested in yelling at each other about vaccines, masks, and other facets of the culture war.

Turn on your television and you will see ads aimed at recruiting preschool teachers. Pick up a newspaper and you’ll read how Israel granted permits to 3,500 Palestinians to work in manufacturing jobs. Stand on line waiting to check in at Ben-Gurion Airport and you will realize there are not enough security screeners.

Ury Weiss. . Linda, it was an excellent interview, you explained eloquently as usual the agenda of the globalists to reach towards the transworld, where there will be one world government, one world currency, one gender, a world which will exemplify the idea of transhumanism, where we will own nothing and be ecstatically happy. Klauss Schwab and his thugs from the World Economic Forum are psychopaths of the worst degree, who in order to accomplish this euforia, they must first destroy America and what it stands for. It’s extremely telling that in times when around the western world, tens of thousands of young people, soldiers, pilots and children are dying or become incapacitated in droves from the Luciferian “vaccines”, the government of Israel is awarding the Jewish Mengele Albert Bourla the prestigious Gemini award. An abominable war criminal, deserving the electric chair is receiving from the equally abominable government of Israel the most prestigious prize for slaughtering our citizens and especially our elderly and our children.

An underestimated, unappreciated, and oft-denied driver of the Arab-Israeli conflict is Islamic religious antisemitism. How deeply entrenched is this religious bigotry, and can it prevent, or slow down, the nascent reconciliation between Israel and the Arab world?

Some might question whether it is justifiable to speak of “Islamic antisemitism” and view this charge as a slur on the name of one of the world’s great faiths, followed by close to two billion people. Yet the numerous passages in Islam’s canonical sources (the Qur’an and Sunna) that depict the Jews as a warmongering, cowardly, and treacherous lot have played a key role in the perpetuation of the Arab-Israeli conflict, as evidenced among other things by the outpouring of antisemitic hate speech during and after the May 2021 Hamas-Israel war.
