On Sunday, May 29, 2022 Israel commemorated Jerusalem Day, marking 55 years since the Israeli forces (IDF) liberated the Old City from the 19-year Jordanian occupation of 1948-1967. Jerusalem has been celebrated by Jews as their capital and most singular city for more than 3,000 years, ever since King David proclaimed it the capital for all 12 tribes of the Children of Israel. Jerusalem Day celebrates the unification of the city after the ouster of the British-led Jordanian Legion, which had gained control of Israel’s holiest site, the Temple Mount and surroundings, during Israel’s 1948 War of Independence against five invading Arab armies hoping to “Drive the Jews into the sea…”

Does anyone who doesn’t live in a gated community or who can’t afford private security guards really believe that diversity is a virtue?

By Daniel Oliver, AM GREATNESS

Following the leak of the draft Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on abortion, first-year Yale Law School student Shyamala Ramakrishna referred to members of the Federalist Society as “Christo-fascists.”

The Washington Free Beacon added nonchalantly, “Some of her classmates were less moderate.” You might agree. The Free Beacon quoted another first-year student, Melisa Olgun, as saying: “Neither the constitution nor the courts—nor the f—ing illusion of ‘democracy’—are going to save us. How can we possibly expect a document, drafted by wealthy, white, landowning men, to protect those who face marginalization that is the direct result of the very actions of the founders?”

At the UN, Iran is on the UN Women’s Rights Commission, the UN Human Rights Council includes Libya, Qatar, and Venezuela, and the UN Conference on Disarmament will be headed by North Korea.

North Korea on Monday will take over as chair of the world disarmament forum which negotiated the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, sparking an appeal (see text below) by over 40 UN-accredited non-governmental organizations for UN chief Antonio Guterres, the U.S., Canada, UK, EU states and other democracies to strongly protest, and for their ambassadors to walk out of the conference during the four weeks of the North Korean presidency, starting on May 30, 2022.

But Durham probe is still exposing the Clinton campaign’s Russian collusion hoax.

By Joseph Klein, FPM    June 3/22

Juries play a crucial role in America’s justice system. The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution guarantees in all criminal prosecutions that “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” In both criminal and civil trials, the jurors are the fact finders, who are expected to fulfill this responsibility impartially and to reach their respective decisions based solely on the evidence presented to them in court. However, while juries often reach reasonable verdicts, jurors sometimes go rogue.

• The real crime, one that represents a serious breach of the long-standing intelligence-sharing arrangements between the US and Israel, is that one of President Joe Biden’s senior officials has been willing to betray the trust of such a close ally.
• At a time when tensions are already running high between Iran and the West over the stalled nuclear talks, there are quite justifiable concerns in Israel that the leak will prompt Iran to exact revenge by attacking Israeli targets, even if it later transpires that Israel was not responsible for the assassination.

Palestinian Arabs throw rocks at bus taking visitors to Old City, Jerusalem

The Biden administration’s obsession with boosting the Palestinian cause at the expense of Israel continues apace.

It was reported last week that the administration had reluctantly abandoned its proposal to re-open the Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem.

In 2019, former US president Donald Trump had closed the consulate down. Israel objected to the American plan to re-open it, on the basis that a mission serving Palestinian Arabs that operated from Israeli territory was an encroachment on Israeli sovereignty.

In what is becoming a routine occurrence with this White House, President Biden says one thing, and the next day the White House “walks back” the president’s statement, and then the president follows up confirming the “walk back.”  If the American people find all of this confusing, just imagine what our allies and adversaries are thinking.  And in the midst of a war, such confusion can be downright dangerous.

As the nation sinks inexplicably into self-created crisis after crisis, debate rages whether President Joe Biden is incompetent, mean-spirited, or an ideologue who feels the country’s mess is his success.

A second national discussion revolves around who actually is overseeing the current national catastrophe, given Biden’s frequent bewilderment and cognitive challenges.

Risch is very articulate and believable.  THIS IS A MUST WATCH.

T. Belman.  Such meetings and expressions of solidarity are meaningless so long as the US continues to negotiate with and appease Iran to get a meaningless deal.  And also so long as the US still supports the TSS and the division of Jerusalem.

“The officials committed to coordinate on efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and toward deterring Iran’s aggressive regional activities,” said a joint statement after a meeting at the White House of the US-Israel Strategic Consultative Group.

JUSTICE A LA SOVIET UNION

By Ella Kietlinska and Joshua Philipp, EPOCH TIMES

Brandon Straka, a conservative activist, was confronted with a choice between pleading guilty to a crime he did not commit and facing serious charges with a long prison term related to the Jan. 6 Capitol rally. He chose to accept the plea deal because he felt he would not get a fair trial.

On Jan. 6, 2021, after then-President Donald Trump addressed the rally at the Ellipse, a park near the White House, Straka walked to U.S. Capitol where he was supposed to give a speech at an event planned to take place on the east side of the building, Straka recollected of that day.

Confronting the forgotten history of Muslim occupation of Israel.

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM

When Jordan’s Arab Legion seized half of Jerusalem, ethnically cleansed its Jewish population and annexed the city– the only entity to recognize the annexation was the United Kingdom which had provided the officers and the training that made the conquest possible. Officers like Colonel Bill Newman, Major Geoffrey Lockett and Major Bob Slade, under Glubb Pasha, better known as General John Bagot Glubb, whose son later converted to Islam, invaded Jerusalem and used the Muslim forces under their command to make the partition and ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem possible.

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

The US does not extend foreign aid to Israel. Rather, the US makes an annual investment in Israel, which yields to the American taxpayer an annual R-O-I (Return-On-Investment) of several hundred percent.  Is that a valid statement?* While Israel is a most grateful recipient of a few hundred US military systems, it serves as the battle-tested, cost-effective laboratory of the US defense and aerospace industries, which employ – directly and indirectly – 3.5 million Americans.

18 year old Lucy Thomas owns it.

It is our own individual responsibility that must play a part in saving the order of things.

By Emina Melonic, AM GREATNESS

I first encountered the work of David Mamet in my undergraduate English seminar on modern American drama. We read many of his works, but after all these years, what sticks out is Mamet’s 1987 screenplay “House of Games,” which he also directed. I was in my very early 20s, only a few years after my arrival to America from Bosnia. Although I spoke English well, the nuances in Mamet’s use of the language were something very new to me.

The Defense Ministry is planning to advance a controversial housing project in the E1 Area of the West Bank after the Israeli government withdrew the plan in January amid international pressure, and assured the Biden administration that it would not be moving forward with it.

The ministry’s Civil Administration body that authorizes West Bank construction published on Tuesday its agenda for a July 18 meeting to discuss objections to projects that have received initial approval. Two E1 plans totaling 3,412 housing units were the only ones on the docket.

T. Belman.  The Likud Camp plus Saar have 58 seats. To form government without elections, they would need to coopt three defectors from Yamina.  Sure looks doable.

The Justice Minister reportedly held talks with a Likud representative about the option of forming a new government without dissolving the Knesset.
