T. Belman. Not only is the number of refugees unlimited, they are unvetted for terrorist ties and are untested for disease including Corona. I wonder if they will get a pass on masks also.

Not only did about 1/3 of the Republican Senators support the plan but only 1/3 GOP voters were not against it.

If you wanted to destroy the country, what would you do differently from what Congress and Biden’s handlers are doing? No one knows how many jihadis are among these people; they’re largely unvetted. But the key part of this story is at the end: “The data revealed also that most Afghan arrivals in the U.S. live on welfare.”

That’s the goal. Create a group of people that is utterly dependent upon the government, and will keep on voting for those who will keep the gravy train going.

T. Belman. Mandabilt’s reasoning is totally wrong. He betrayed democracy, not Netanyahu, by substituting his opinion for that of the electorate.

Dershowitz on Netanyahu trial: ‘Israel should be deeply ashamed’ (June 5, 2020)

Knesset would “never in a million years” make it a crime for politicians to push publications for more flattering media coverage “because if they did, half of the members of the Knesset would be in prison.”

“Israel is the first country in modern history to ever put a political leader on trial for trying to get good media coverage or trying to eliminate negative media coverage,” Dershowitz told i24. “If you want to try people on these offenses in cases 1000, 2000 and 4000, let the Knesset pass statutes.”

Transcripts of closed conversations held by Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in the context of the indictments against opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu reveal the attorney general’s feelings about the former prime minister.

According to the transcripts, which were revealed by Channel 12 News, Mandelblit said that “Netanyahu endangered democracy, we were saved by the grace of heaven.”

T. Belman. Greenfield puts the blame squarely on Bennett. When the coalition formed, I thought with Bennett, Shaked and Saar, among others from the right, in the government, that they would steer the government on a right wing path. Oh, how wrong I was.

Would the appointee of a coalition government that includes Islamists really be expected to do anything else?

Some background to this story (first made public through Arutz Sheva in this article, ed.).

Israel’s current government is a leftist-Islamist coalition that includes some former conservatives “out front” as stalking horses. One of those is serving as the current prime minister. Another was Gideon Sa’ar’s New Hope party. Dani Dayan, a former consul general and Yesha council leader ran on the New Hope party list. The only purpose of the New Hope party was to tear away enough conservative votes to create this leftist hybrid government. Now it’s expected to be wiped out in any future elections.

A VERY IMPORTANT EXPLORATION OF DRONE WARFARE.

DEC 7/21

The luxury of having no rival in the world induced the United States into the first bout of self-hate in its history. We are now faced with navigating reality under such conditions.

A vacuum was created 30 years ago by the peaceful collapse of both the Imperial Russian state constructed over centuries from Peter the Great to Stalin, and the Bolshevik dictatorship of the Soviet Union that was purporting to perfect Marxism and spread it to a yearning and grateful world. That vacuum has been filled by China, assisted at least tentatively by selected opportunistic allies. So thorough, sudden, and bloodless was the American-led triumph over the Soviet Union, that it has required 30 years for a serious replacement challenge to the West to emerge.

At the end of World War I, when Germany effectively surrendered but was not occupied, the supreme Allied commander, France’s Marshal Foch, correctly described the 1919 Treaty of Versailles as “a 20-year armistice.”

Vladimir Bukovsky said that “(modern left-liberalism) is an extreme mental aberration best described by the Russian saying: that it is like a dog in reverse because it barks at its own folks and wags its tail in front of a stranger.”

The Biden left-liberal administration in America is turning out to be nightmarish for both America and Israel. It hurriedly pulled out from Afghanistan leaving Afghan allies to the persecution by the Taliban. It left to the Taliban billions of dollars of up-to-date military equipment. It opened up its southern border without vetting immigrants. It flooded the money supply with printed money thus creating an inflation that will hurt most the lower and middle classes who thought that the Democratic Party was their friend.

The tactically brilliant but strategically crazy attack on Pearl Harbor unleashed incalculable furor against a once sophisticated Japanese empire, which foolishly attacked the United States at peace.

By Victor Davis Hanson, AM GREATNESS     December 5, 2021

Most Americans once were mostly in agreement about what happened on December 7, 1941, 80 years ago this year. But not so much now, given either the neglect of America’s past in the schools or woke revisionism at odds with the truth.

The Pacific war that followed Pearl Harbor was not a result of America egging on the Japanese, not about starting a race war, and not about much other than a confident and cruel Japanese empire falsely assuming that its stronger American rival either would not or could not stop its transoceanic ambitions.

It seems as if the whole world has agreed: nothing that could possibly offend Muslims can be displayed, no matter how historically important or relevant to the contemporary scene.

“The missing photo of Hitler and the Mufti of Jerusalem,” by Shalom Pollack, Arutz Sheva, November 27, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

I would like to introduce a notorious Nazi SS general, a leading Muslim cleric and the father of a nation – all in one.

This person is Haj Amin al Husseini.

The Biden Mal-Administration is occupied to foment war in the Horn of Africa.  They also press to foment war between Morocco and Algeria.  And most important to them, the Maladroit team has been assiduously working to cause war between Israel and Iran. 

What is going on, really?

The Biden Team is as inefficient at fomenting conflict as they have been in managing the economy and Covid-19.

Stephen K. Bannon served as the White House‘s chief strategist in U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration during the first seven months of Trump’s term.

The host of the popular daily talk show and podcast, The War Room, became the first person in nearly 40 years to be indicted on a charge of criminal contempt of Congress last month after he refused to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Bannon who was smiling and streaming live as he turned himself into the authorities, before posting bail, promised his audience he would get to the bottom of the January 6th and other investigations.

Last year, Lior Sternfeld and Michelle Campos signed the so-called Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism which argued that calling for the destruction of Israel was not antisemitic.

The signatures of Sternfeld and Campos alongside numerous other anti-Israel academics was unsurprising. Sternfeld had previously signed a petition in support of BDS activists which concluded with the assertion that the signers might refuse to “enter the State of Israel”. He and Campos had also signed another petition accusing the Jewish State of “apartheid”.

In a vulgar act denying not only established history but the foundational characteristics of the two major Western faiths, the United Nations believed it could rewrite the past.  It voted to change the Temple Mount to a Muslim Holy Site and deny the historic relationship, found in both the Pentateuch and the Gospels, between Jews and Jerusalem. Jerusalem appears by name 806 times in the Jewish and Christian Bibles and additional times by reference. It appears not once in the Koran.

Jews had been living in Jerusalem for thousands of years and Christians for six centuries before the first horseman rode out of the Arabian desert and placed it under Islamic rule. But what is history compared to a vote in an international body dominated by tyrants and kleptomaniacal dictators? Their perfidy is not surprising. There are more Muslims in the world than Jews. Tyrants and dictators might not understand history, but they do know how to count.

Despite the lack of so-called “gold standard” double-blind studies, we now effectively know that early (off-label) use of the anti-parasite/anti-malarial drugs hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin can have a very significant effect on reducing COVID mortality. Especially when used in conjunction with other substances like azithromycin, zinc, and Vitamin D. (Always consult your physician for medical advice. This post is purely informational and not intended to recommend any treatment to readers). The medical establishment and the panic merchants in government, the media and the tech sector including social media refuse acknowledge the remedies at hand and instead push universal vaccination and expensive patented therapies.

A new trade corridor is all set to drive China’s BRI into the ground

by Jonathan Spyer, The Australian            December 3, 2021

The rise of China as a peer competitor to the US is the most significant geopolitical process of our time. The effort by the US with its allies to prevent the advance of Chinese power in the Indo-Pacific region is, in turn, the most fateful strategic project under way in the world.

This turn of global focus to the Indo-Pacific region is having important ripple effects in other strategic theatres. Nowhere is this more true than in the Middle East.

In that ever tense and volatile region, the drawdown in US involvement is leading to the emergence of new power alliances. Enemies of the US, sensing advantage from the decline of the hegemon, are seeking to push forward.
