Senior person in the Israeli military industries slams involving USA in Israeli Laser Program

In response to the IMRA commentary below, a senior person in the Israeli military industries adds:

Analyzing many comparable systems, one can safely state that it takes one-tenth of the cost and one-third of the time for the Israeli Defense
Industry to develop a similar, if not better, performing system. This was the case with the Israeli “PHALCON” early warning aircraft compared with the US E-2C or the US PATRIOT to Israeli IRON DOME.

T. Belman. when you learn of the British antisemitism that prevailed in Toronto in the thirties, It is much easier to understand and believe that the Brits undermined the Palestine Mandate and screwed the Jews.

It’s not too late to make amends to the Jewish people for this historical injustice.

1. Jordan’s King’s health is failing badly and rapidly. At the same time, Crown Prince Hussein, heir to the throne, is an unpopular figure whose mother, Queen Rania, is afraid that if her son becomes king, he may end up paying the price of his dad’s sins against the Jordanian people. At the same time, Rania has made sure no other Hashemite could either get or want the job. With the Royal Family morally and economically bankrupt in the eyes of Jordanians, Jordan could be in turmoil and facing a power vacuum when the King either dies or abdicates. The turmoil could lead to an eventual civil war as sides take positions.

T. Belman. A Zionist friend of mine recently told me not to refer to the lands as Judea and Samaria. Instead, he urged that we just call it “Judea” because Samaria wasn’t Jewish.

By Victor Sharpe, AM THINKER

When did it become an accepted truism that peace between Israel and the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians requires that Israel give to them its very own Biblical birthright in the Jewish heartland? When did the Oslo Accords supersede the eternal possession of the Jewish people to that God-given heartland of Judea and Samaria, the territory a hostile world insists on calling by its illegitimate Jordanian name; the West Bank?

Joe Biden is letting one of the largest illegal migrant caravans in history move into the U.S., with no effort to stop it.

Texas’s governor, Greg Abbott, isn’t.

According to a very interesting report by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies, the record-sized 15,000-strong caravan has run into interference from the Texas governor and his counterpart in the adjacent Mexican state of Coahuila, who had the foresight to sign an agreement in April about border security.  Bensman writes:

T. Belman. I was born in 1937 and grew up close to the Toronto Jewish community. After the war, fellow Jews would tell me about this riot with great pride for having fought back. The riot lasted 6 hours.

‘Gangsters vs. Nazis’ book tells how a New York judge secretly directed mafia bosses Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel to recruit an army of Jewish thugs to intimidate antisemites

New York judge Nathan D. Perlman was apparently a big believer in the adage: If you need a job done right, you’ve got to turn to the right people. So in 1938, he called up notorious Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky with a favor to ask of him.

In this bracing essay, David Horowitz calls out the Left for what it is–criminal, racist, and sometimes fascist. David argues that conservatives need to understand the utter bad faith with which the Left conducts itself, and stand up bravely to defend our country from the ravages of the Left.

By David Horowitz, POWERLINE

The crisis currently facing our nation is a crisis of faith – faith in the Constitution that has shaped our destiny, faith in the rule of law, and faith in the principle of equality before the law. The root cause of the lawlessness that is consuming our country is the monopoly of the executive power in Washington by a political party that has fallen under the control of the radical left. This left describes itself as “progressive,” but is focused on the goal of “re-imagining” American institutions and principles, in other words of dismantling the constitutional order that created the prosperity and freedoms that have shaped this country since its beginnings.

By DAVID P. GOLDMAN, ASIA TIMES

The Biden Administration faces a double disaster after its Ukraine miscalculation, namely a US recession and a second strategic humiliation in the space of a year.

The United States economy is almost certainly in recession, while oil prices drive inflation that has cut workers’ real pay by about 6% year on year.

On June 17, 1967, today 55 years ago, then Israeli Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan solely made one of the most important and fateful decisions in the history of the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Just days after the end of the Six Day War, Dayan agreed to establish the new “Status Quo” regarding the Temple Mount. Fearing open discussion about his decision, Dayan’s agreement was not positively ratified by Israel’s government of the day or by any government since.

– despite all the warm words in Jerusalem,

By Melanie Phillips, jns

(JNS) People dining this week on the charming terrace at Jerusalem’s King David Hotel were surprised to find at the next table Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission.

[..]

So does this mean the E.U. is now changing its attitude to Israel? Until now, it has been hostile. It promotes the Palestinian Arab narrative that seeks to delegitimize Israel through lies about its “illegal” settlements and alleged Israel Defense Forces’ aggression; it funds NGOs devoted to harming and destroying Israel; in an aggressive move in 2015 against Israeli “occupation” of the disputed territories, it started to label products from the “West Bank.”
