– as Zelensky insists Putin has ‘no interest in talking’

• Former US secretary of state told conference that Ukraine should accept terms
• The 98-year-old added if they don’t begin negotiations there will be ‘upheavals’ 
• He said it would be ‘fatal’ for the West to get swept up in ‘mood of the moment’
• Summits will become pointless because ‘brute force does not talk it kills,’ Zelensky said

Henry Kissinger has said that the West should stop trying to inflict a crushing defeat on Russia and suggested that Ukraine should give up territory.

Former US secretary of state Mr Kissinger, 98, told the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland that Ukraine must begin negotiations ‘before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome’.

As the U.S. moves into elections mode, the last thing the Democrats want to talk about is policy. Instead, they’re taking a page out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook and attempting to brand Republicans as racist and evil. Op-ed.

(JNS) Demonization, the effort to portray a political rival as an inhuman monster, has long been a means to mobilize public support. The ancient Romans did it. The Soviets didn’t know there was another option.

While negative campaigning is a tried and true method for winning elections in the free world, actual demonization was a fairly rare phenomenon, particularly in the United States, until after the turn of the century. But in recent decades, and with unprecedented intensity and venom since 2016, the Democrats have aped the Soviets and adopted demonization as their main political tool for winning elections. The primary object of their hatred is former President Donald Trump.

• These Palestinians are evidently fed up with the rampant corruption and bad governance of the Palestinian Authority leadership. Moreover, these Palestinians who no longer support Abbas are stating that they have no interest in any peace process with Israel.
• As the last poll showed, 70% of the Palestinians are opposed to an unconditional return to peace negotiations with Israel. Another 58% expressed opposition to the two-state solution.

T. Belman. “To be antisemitic is to be anti-European”. This is nonsense. To be antisemitic is to hate Jews. Europe has never defended its Jews. Just the opposite.

Also you cannot support both Israel and the two-state solution.  They are contradictory. If you support the two-state solution as Europe and America do, you are anti-Israel.

Gen. Michael E. Kurilla (l), Commander, U.S. Central Command, met with IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi (r) to discuss Iranian nuclear threats and other regional matters.

On Thursday morning, an error in identification caused Israeli air defenses to launch interceptors in the North. Alarms were heard in several communities. Analysts believed a drone flown by Hezbollah might have been the culprit, but it all turned out to be a false alarm and apparently a mistake.

Two days before, however, Hezbollah had indeed launched a drone and Israel had to down the threat.

The university claims it fired me for a long-past offense—for which I was already punished—but the truth should worry everyone.

By Joshua Katz , WSJ   May 23, 2022 

Nearly two years ago, I wrote in these pages, “I survived cancellation at Princeton.” I was wrong. The university where I taught for nearly a quarter of a century and which promoted me to the tenured ranks in 2006, has revoked my tenure and dismissed me. Whoever you are and whatever your beliefs, this should terrify you.

The issues around my termination aren’t easy to summarize. What is nearly impossible to deny (though Princeton does deny it) is that I have been subjected to “cultural double jeopardy,” with the university relitigating a long-past offense—I had a consensual relationship with a 21-year-old student—for which I was already suspended for a year without pay well over a decade after my offense. This was, I emphasize, a violation of an internal university rule, not a Title IX matter or any other crime.

THE US, EU, NATO AND UKRAINE ARE LOSING. PERHAPS, HAVE ALREADY LOST.

Restoring their lost credibility, if it can be done, will require a major effort taking many years. Opinion.

By Prof. Gerald M. Steinberg, INN    23.05.22 08:21

(JNS) The head of Human Rights Watch (HRW), Kenneth Roth, recently announced that he will be leaving the organization after 29 years. For nearly three decades, he led HRW far from its founding principles, which were based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted in the shadow of the Holocaust. Instead, HRW today is often considered a political organization with a highly selective agenda and an obsession with Israel. To restore their lost credibility, if it can be done, will require a major effort that will take many years.

T. Belman. Pinchas Inbari, who is quoted in this article, says “it is in Israel’s interest to maintain Jordan’s status on the Temple Mount”. The Jordan option takes the opposite position. It is important that King Abdullah be replaced. Shragai and Inbari are both associated with the JCPA.

Amman presents list of demands with regard to the flashpoint site, which includes limiting visits by Jewish groups and replacing Border Police officers with Waqf security. Nevertheless, one Israeli expert says maintaining Jordan’s status in Jerusalem is in Israel’s interests.

Jordan and the Palestinian Authority have reached a new understanding with regard to the Temple Mount status quo. At the White House on Saturday, King Abdullah presented the conditions of this new understanding. The king accused Israel of gradually encroaching on the status quo, outlined several demands, and asked President Joe Biden for support.

Supreme Court President Justice Esther Hayut on Monday cautioned that the political discourse surrounding the court system was devolving and warned that attacks on the justice system were “dangerous.”

“Regrettably, civil dialogue and personal responsibility have given way to confrontational discourse that has bred attacks on the judiciary and its judges and strident calls to harm them and curtail their powers,” Hayut said in a speech at the Israel Bar Association conference in Eilat.

Rather than contributing to our defense, our membership in an expanding NATO will mean more conflict for the United States, and for Europe.

By Christopher Roach, AM GREATNESS

Alliances are supposed to deliver peace and protection for their members through the logic of deterrence. The theory is simple: an alliance of nations is stronger than any one of them would be alone. NATO seemed to accomplish this during the Cold War, not least because of the additional deterrent power of America’s nuclear arsenal.

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a new bill that would greatly enhance the federal government’s ability to spy on Americans in an alleged effort to combat “domestic” terrorism.

H.R. 350, or the “Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act,” passed by a margin of 222-203. The vote was almost entirely along party lines, with every single House Democrat and a lone House Republican– the reprehensible RINO Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois– voting to approve the measure.

L. Goudsmit. Doctors are speaking out about the connection between mandated “vaccines” and totalitarian globalist control. Political medicine is being used to impose planetary global governance – the Great Reset – and the transfer of national sovereignty to United Nations global governance is happening at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos and Geneva on May 22, 2022. It is globalist Armageddon, and the culmination of globalism’s worldwide coup d état.

The Democrat representative of Michigan in the House of Representatives is Rashida Tlaib who spends her time as part of the disreputable group of house Democrat women who call themselves the Squad.

Mark Levin, Conservative Radio host and consummate expert on the U.S. Constitution, says this of the so-called Squad. “This is not a Squad. This is a cabal of Marxists who hate this country – some of them first, second-generation immigrants into the country, who bring their attitudes, who bring their indoctrination into the country and are at war, right there in the halls of Congress, against our own country.”

• [A]s official results came in, [Iran’s Supreme Guide Ali] Khamenei and [Major General Esmail Qaani, chief of the Quds Force who is supposed to rule the “Resistance Front” countries as a satrap]… realized that the Lebanese electorate, or at least the 49% who went to the polls, had denied Tehran the “crushing victory” it had hoped for.
• That meant a double whammy in two of the four Arab capitals that Ayatollah Ali Yunesi boasts are now under Tehran’s control; the others being Sanaa and Damascus.
