A military strike that utilized quadcopter drones launched from inside Iran hit the top-secret Iranian military base at Parchin. It’s believed the strike targeted Iran’s drone research and development complex and not its missile or nuclear research facilities.No nation has claimed responsibility for the attack, but both Iran and the U.S. say that it fits the pattern of past attacks by Israel.

The attack follows an assassination of a colonel in the Revolutionary Guards last week. Analysts believe the Israelis intended it as a warning to Iran to stop targeting Israeli citizens abroad.

At the present time, most of the partners in the coalition would rather bite their tongues than come out against the Arab MKs, whether their allies in the Ra’am party or those in the Joint Arab List providing them a safety net.

As more time passes, the more this government’s conduct resembles a struggle for survival. This past week, for example, the offices of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid weren’t busy managing the country’s affairs, but rather devoted their time and energy to salvaging their teetering coalition.

From the directors-general and senior advisers (those who are left) to the department heads, secretaries, clerks, and spokespeople – all are hitched to one mission: to prevent the fall of the government. From their perspective, this is nothing less than a national mission, on behalf of which all the country’s resources can be committed – from money to security. Everything can be sacrificed on the altar of political survival.

T. Belman.  The Naqba should be outlawed in both the US and Israel rather than memorialized.

Instead of memorializing the Nakba, perhaps you should have learned from it. Opinion.

By Dr. Richard L. Cravatts, INN

On May 16th, members of The Squad, including Representatives Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, McCollum, and others, introduced a loathsome resolution, H. RES. 1123, which had as its purpose “Recognizing the Nakba and Palestinian refugees’ rights” and to “commemorate the Nakba,” the catastrophe you assign to Israel’s creation, “through official recognition and remembrance.” According to your baleful resolution, the Nakba not only took place at Israel’s founding “but [refers] to an ongoing process of Israel’s expropriation of Palestinian land and its dispossession of the Palestinian people that continues to this day.”

T. Belman.  Emerson does a great job of pointing out how ludicrous this speaker’s positions are. The question is not whether we Zionists have a right to criticize her  but whether CUNY should have given her a platform. I go further, should one’s right to free speech be curtailed to outlaw such incendiary attacks on Zionism? Probably not, unless it incites violence as in this case.

But I believe that in Israel, the Jewish right to all the land should be protected by outlawing all attacks on our narrative or the promotion of the false Palestinian narrative. Such speech is criminal as it  incites violence. It also is a threat to our existence. Israel should no longer tolerate it in the name of free speech or fairness to the other..

You guys, the Zionists are being so mean to me!

All I’ve done is call (repeatedly) for the elimination of the world’s only Jewish state “by any means necessary.” Sure, any means includes violence and terrorism, but I made that sentiment a principal element of my organization “Within Our Lifetime.”

Despite evidence to the contrary, there is the continued belief that there were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq.  Between the Democrats, the media who serve as their propagandist, and those who have an irrational hatred of George W. Bush, there has been a refusal to give up the lie that nothing was found in Iraq.

One of the reasons given by former president Bush for going into Iraq — beyond Hussein’s government funding international terrorist activities that did target Americans — was weapons of mass destruction were in fact found.  In other words, the weapons were not the only reason, but also the financing of international terrorism.

The legislation, based on a similar law dating back to 1969, makes it a crime punishable by death. It makes Iraq an outlier in the Arab world, where more countries are forging diplomatic relations with Israel.

Iraq’s parliament passed sweeping legislation this week that would broaden the crime of normalizing ties with Israel, in a rare show of solidarity amid an eight-month political deadlock.

The legislation, passed on Thursday, goes further than a similar law dating back to 1969 by setting out much wider definitions for acts that would be considered a violation. Both the old law and the new make this a crime potentially punishable by death.

The Left doesn’t want you to be able to drive, buy a home, or enjoy a burger.

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM

Americans can’t afford to buy a used car or even gas because the Left doesn’t want them to drive. They can’t buy homes because the Left wants to destroy the suburbs and force everyone to live in megacities. They have trouble buying meat because the Left wants them to eat soy.

The same is true for the whole exercise in planned economic misery that we’re experiencing.

Take Hoover’s “A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage” and reverse it. That’s the goal. What we’re living through is not an unintentional accident: it’s the American Holodomor.

The future of the Old City of Jerusalem will be decided by facts on the ground and the Jews who purchase and live in buildings along the route of the planned march.

By  Nadav Shragai, ISRAEL HAYOM

For years already, Israeli flags have been flown along the route that leads from Damascus Gate to the Western Wall, where the Jerusalem Day flag march will apparently proceed.

No one waves them, but they are more significant than the flags that will be carried there on Saturday. We are here, day after day, year after year.

The dozens of Jewish families who live along Hagai St. and its byways – from Beit Rand and Torat Haim to Beit Danon and Beit Wittenberg, Beit Nof, and other settlement points – are the true flags, the ones already raised on this route. They are living flags, a march of life.

I’m no political expert — merely an observer of life around me and an avid reader.  I’ve lived in California for well over 40 years, surviving quietly in an enclave of extreme leftist society.  It’s a sad thing that once-wonderful places to live have been so degraded.  We feel a force — a machine — pushing those changes, but we cannot see the machine itself.

I experience my community shrinking in on itself, as it’s overwhelmed by an ever-expanding lack of safety, increasing violence, rampant crime, homelessness, filth, drugs, and rotting infrastructure.  My little bedroom town has now installed license place readers at every entry, and the police blotter is filled with the resulting arrests.  Lots of entries say, “car left at high rate of speed, did not chase.”  This is what our world is coming to — unsafe schools included.  How is it that we allow such degradation of our quality of life?

Dr. Eric Mandel says in this interview, you will learn:

• Why the Biden Administration that has treated the Saudis as a “pariah” would be doing this at this time
• Is this truly the first step to normalization between the Saudis and Israel
• How this ties into a return to the JCPOA and America’s energy needs
• What is holding back the Saudis from normalization
• Why the islands at the mouth of the Straits of Hormuz are important

T. Belman. I struggled with whether to publish this article or not. His views are based on the premise “The ongoing Israeli occupation of the Palestinian people remains an indefensible motivating factor for some Jordanian antisemitism.” They are not “Palestinian lands” but this is what the author and Haaretz preach.

He argues that many Jordanians are not antisemitic, so long as ” anti-Zionism per se is distinguished from antisemitism,”. Where do I begin?

By Avraham Spraragen, HAARETZ      May. 24, 2022 4:28 PM

As a lone Jew in Jordan, I am living through an endemic of Jordanian antisemitism.

According to the Anti-Defamation League’s “Index of Anti-Semitism,” 81 percent of Jordanian adults harbor antisemitic attitudes, including conspiracy theories about Jewish control of government, media and financial markets, among other tired antisemitic canards.

FACTS MATTER

I sat down with Cheryl Chumley, author of “Police State USA” and “Lockdown: The Socialist Plan to Take Away Your Freedom,” to discuss the current state of affairs in the United States today. Chumley provides her view on how the country is on an increasingly slippery slope of the degradation of our God-given liberties as a result of lockdown orders. We discuss the breakdown of American exceptionalism and the decimation of the American middle class of small business owners.

I also get her take on the World Economic Forum and its role in ushering in the Great Reset, along with how that sits diametrically opposed to the American Dream. She provides her opinion on what this all means for the prospects of a “return to normalcy” here in America. We conclude our discussion with what Chumley sees as America’s only hope: a resurgence of faith-based principles in our younger generation to counter the growing threat of secularism for the battle for America’s soul.

• Many analysts argue that the nuclear deal — original and revised — is primarily about legitimizing Iran’s nuclear program. The deal, they say, is designed to strengthen, not weaken, the Islamic Republic.
• Statements by Obama and his senior foreign policy advisors, the same people who are now advising President Biden, reflect a belief — a naïve one, many say — that if Iran were stronger, and traditional American allies — Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey — were weaker, the Middle East could achieve a new balance of power that would result in more peaceful region.

In a conversation last week with former U.S. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, Jordan’s King Abdullah II expressed concerns that Iranian forces in Syria could soon destabilize his country. Russia may soon redeploy assets and forces from Syria to their mired war effort in Ukraine, and Iran seeks to fill the void.

The Jordanian monarch asserted, “That vacuum [left by the Russians] will be filled by the Iranians and their proxies. So unfortunately, we are looking at maybe an escalation of problems on our borders.”

Whenever I listen to Klaus Schwab and his Davos Death Cult buddies openly discuss their plans for world domination, I always think, “Are we really going to let another power-hungry German walk us into global conflagration?”  For a while there, I believed that Western allies had endured enough death and slaughter from the first two world wars to forge an informal understanding among themselves that uncontrolled German megalomania invariably leads to malignant outcomes for all.

Then came German reunification, and the nation’s inevitable economic dominance over all of Europe assured its status as the most powerful member of the European Union.  All that effort to constrain the German empire’s influence went up in smoke.  It turns out that it is far easier to conquer the European continent with flowery promises of “peace,” “economic integration,” and “international cooperation” than it is to send jackbooted shock troops marching past the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs-Élysées.

President Joe Biden is planning a trip to Israel, with a possible visit to Saudi Arabia. In his bag is a nice hostess gift—American support for the restoration of Saudi control of two islands near the Gulf of Aqaba, which could help bring the Saudis into the Abraham Accords. A smaller gift for the Palestinian Authority (PA) is a potential visit to a Palestinian hospital on the eastern side of Jerusalem, implying a Palestinian role in Israel’s capital.

But there are times where the presence of the president of the United States can make things worse, not better—where American intervention makes things worse, not better. This is one of those times. As President Biden packs, he should re-evaluate a few of the fundamental tenets of his Middle East policy.
