Sudan Coup Follows Prevailing Arab World Trend  

by Jonathan Spyer, The Jerusalem Post

Originally published under the title “Sudan Coup: Generals and Islamists Prevail in the Arab World.”

The October 25 military coup in Sudan follows a prevailing trend in the Arab world.

A coup has taken place in Sudan. In a series of moves on the morning of October 25 straight from the well-thumbed handbook of Arab military takeovers, Sudanese military forces stormed the country’s state broadcaster. At an unspecified hour, Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and a number of his ministers were taken into custody by the military. The coup’s leader and apparent instigator, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Lieutenant-General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, then delivered a televised address in which he announced that an “independent and fair representative government” would hold power until elections, to be held in 2023.

The ADL Convenes a Summit of Antisemites to Fight Antisemitism  

T. Belman. Isn’t it time that an organization was created to steal the ADL’s thunder just as J Street was created to steal AIPAC’s thunder. In addition to the issues raised by Greenfield in this article, I find that the ADL is more interested in fighting “islamaphobia” then fighting antisemitism, especially antisemitism of the left.

A lot of Jewish money, that currently funds the ADL because of its original purpose, would shift to this new organization which would be dedicated to that purpose.

Antisemitism is dramatically on the rise especialy among the left.  The ADL, especially under the leadership of Jonathan Greenblatt, is not fit to oppose it.

The ADL allies with haters of Israel, Hamas apologists, and blood libelers.

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM       Nov 10/21

When three Jewish teens were kidnapped and murdered by Hamas, Israel fought back, Jews mourned, and Sheera Frenkel rushed to claim that Hamas wasn’t responsible.

“There is a Hamas official in the story saying they are not Hamas,” she insisted on Twitter.

It was a low point in her career of smearing Israel with lies and hate, but not unusual.

Nix 13 Republicans Who Voted For Massive Spending Bill  

Must Be Stripped Of Their Leadership Positions

WATCH WAR ROOM

Mark Meadows, President Trump’s last chief of staff, talks to Steve Bannon about the 13 RINO Republicans who gave Joe Biden a great big gift by voting for his socialist “infrastructure” bill.

“The blame doesn’t just stop there with the 13 Republicans. Let’s be very clear. Kevin McCarthy and his leadership team should have whipped this harder, and they should have made the Democrats get to 218 votes as a threshold. … If we continue to do this when we’re in the minority, we’ll never be in the majority, because the American people want something that’s authentic… But here’s the problem… the same leadership will continue to give money to those 13 Republicans to get them re-elected… You can’t have it this way.”

American Perfidy Against Jews Is Never A Good Thing  

By Barry Shaw, AM THINKER

The Balfour Declaration was signed on November 2, 1917, at a time when Britain and its allies were driving the Turks and Germans out of Palestine, a barren region of a decayed and defeated Ottoman Empire.

The Palestine Campaign turned the tide of World War One. It was won by allied troops, including a large fighting contingent of Palestine Jews. No Arabs fought on the west side of the Jordan River, part of which is called, by ignorant activists and politicians, “the West Bank.”

John Durham is Getting Close to the Jugular  

For a contrarian view:  Editorial of The New York Sun, Special Prosecutor Durham’s Digging Into 2016 Vote Looks Like a Dead End for the GOP

He is methodically unraveling a huge, well-organized conspiracy

By Charles Lipson, RCP   November 8, 2021

Last week, John Durham’s grand jury issued its third criminal indictment in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. The person who was arrested may be obscure; the news may have been buried after Virginia’s bombshell election results; but Durham’s move is a big deal. It shows that the special counsel’s probe is methodically unraveling a huge conspiracy, seemingly engineered by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and implicating James Comey’s FBI, either as a willing participant or as utterly incompetent boobs.

What Durham and a few intrepid reporters are uncovering may well be the most ambitious dirty trick pulled in an American election and its aftermath. The question now is whether Durham can expose the full extent of this malfeasance and charge those who planned and executed it.

ZOA Criticizes ADL for Featuring Hostile-to-Israel Speakers at ADL Never-Is-Now Conference  

(ZOA) President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:

ZOA is appalled by ADL featuring hostile-to-Israel speakers at its “Never is Now” conference this week. These speakers include: Dr. Sara Yael Hirschhorn’s extreme demonization of Israel has included accusing Israel of perpetrating “ethnic cleansing” and “daily violations of human rights,” and calling Israel’s lawful Nation-State law “horrific.”

Hirschhorn also condemns “denial of Palestinian sovereignty.” In other words, she views Palestinian Arab demands for a 23rd Arab nation-state as valid; but condemns Israel for identifying as a Jewish state.

School Boards Gone Wild  

By Perry O. Hooper Jr, UNCOVERDC

Across the country, school boards have lost all sense of reality. They have established local monarchies where they claim complete control and deem parents domestic terrorists. They are establishing policies and curriculum that parents abhor. They think it is their right to indoctrinate students as young as four in Critical Race Theory and other agenda items of the radical left. They are telling parents to butt out. Their child’s education is none of their business. While most school board members are sincerely dedicated to the education of the students in their respective districts, many have become unaccountable tyrants.

Bennett’s diplomatic tsunami  

Captive to his post-Zionist and anti-Zionist coalition partners, Israel’s foreign policy under Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is predicated on making far-reaching concessions.

President Putin, PM Bennett and Minister Elkin

(JNS) Naftali Bennett’s government’s diplomatic policies came into full view in recent weeks, and were put to the test at the United Nations climate conference in Glasgow last week. The results are unmistakable.

Under Bennett’s government, Israel’s foreign policy is predicated on making far-reaching concessions—first and foremost to the Palestinians, and second to the international left. Four such concessions stand out.

Never Trumpers and BLM have same backer  

By

The press releases went out on schedule and the media rewrote them into news stories. A group of “principled” Republicans was going to fundraise to support Democrat congressmen.

The stories rolled out on schedule from different media outlets while appearing nearly identical. And the real story, as usual, was not what was on the page, but what had been deliberately left out. Reuters described the Renew America Movement as a group of Never Trump Republicans “whose leadership includes former Republican Governors Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey and Bill Weld of Massachusetts.” Hardly a single story mentioned the actual leaders.

The Camel’s Nose  

T. Belman. In retrospect, Victor says that passing the budget and avoiding another inconclusive election was not  sufficient reason to buy off Abbas.  I had another reason for supporting Bennett’s move which is not yet apparant and may never be.

I lay the problem at Bibi’s doorstep.  He should have taken one for the team and resigned.

by Victor Rosenthal

It’s painful, but I have to admit that I was wrong.

I supported the Bennett-Lapid government because I believed that nothing could be worse than the instability of an endless series of elections and caretaker governments. The challenges facing the country were too great, from Hamas to the new American administration which was (and is) poised to try to force us into another series of concessions to the PLO while enabling Iran’s atomic project and holding us back from striking it. I wanted the country to have a budget, which it hadn’t had since 2018. And I felt that it was time for Binyamin Netanyahu to step down (although, unlike some, this was not my primary concern).

Nikki Haley goes after AIPAC for hosting lawmakers who support Iran deal  

T. Belman. I am another that sees no value in seeking bipartianship. That only serves to water down our agenda. We should not change our agenda in order to achieve bipartianship support.

At RJC confab, Trump’s UN envoy says that in making bipartisanship raison d’être, pro-Israel lobby losing site of policies it supports; claims two-state solution unrealistic

LAS VEGAS — Former United States president Donald Trump’s onetime envoy to the United Nations Nikki Halley tore into the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC on Saturday for hosting politicians who support the Iran nuclear deal.

“There’s one thing I don’t get about AIPAC, and I’m not saying anything to you that I haven’t said to their leadership,” she began in her speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership conference in Las Vegas.

On Youngkin, Biden, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Braves  

There are so many take-aways from the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial elections on the night the World Series also concluded. And we see that Americans still care deeply about the future facing their young kin. 

By Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer, INN

So many take-aways from the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial elections on the night the World Series also concluded. And we see that Americans still care deeply about the future facing their young kin. . . .

1 . Virginia and New Jersey

The despicable liars of the Left Media hide the true news by shading and shaping it. It is the exact same in Israel as it is in America. They color and distort public opinion. They lie to us, intimidating tens of millions of people and brainwashing the public. They distort polling. They tell people a “truth” from an alternate universe, often persuading the weak and impressionable to lose faith in their own common sense.

Effectiveness of 2 of 3 COVID-19 Vaccines Used in US Drops Below 50 Percent After 6 Months: Study  

By Zachary Stieber, EPOCH TIMES         November 7, 2021

The effectiveness of the three COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States has declined in recent months, with protection against infection falling under 50 percent for two of them after six months, according to a new study.

Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine dropped to 58 percent in September from 89.2 percent effectiveness in March, researchers found. During the same time frame, Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine fell to 43.3 percent from 86.9 percent, and Johnson & Johnson’s shot declined to 13.1 percent from 86.4 percent.

Nuclear Power Is the Best Climate-Change Solution by Far  

By M. ben Manachem.  Israel has the technology and know-how to contribute to the nuclear industry and become a major worldcenter for SNR distribution.  However, to do so we need to begin by implementing this “at home”.

I am somewhat responsible for the negative attitude in Israel to nuclear power for electricity (I was the advisor to the Government that lobbied against it some 40 years ago).  The technology at that time was far different from what exists today.

It is time for Israel to “get over it” and embrace this.  We could combine with the UAE and Bahrain to commercialise this and capture a very significant portion of the world market.

Its total greenhouse-gas emissions are 1/700th those of coal—and one-fourth those of solar.

By Andrew I. Fillat and Henry I. Miller, WSJ     Nov. 4, 2021

Politics seems to have become inimical to critical thinking, and nowhere is this more obvious than climate change. Politicians peddle apocalypse and demand that Americans accept skyrocketing gasoline and home heating costs, rolling blackouts and brownouts, endless subsidies for uneconomic vehicles and power generation, and on and on.

NYT: Israel Moves to Silence the Stalwarts of Palestinian Civil Society  

T. Belman. If you read this propoganda piece by the NYT along with what Israel said,

” the six organizations were fronts for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Israel, the United States and the European Union consider the PFLP, one of several member parties of the Palestine Liberation Organization, to be a terror group.

“Those organizations were active under the cover of civil society organizations, but in practice belong and constitute an arm of the [PFLP] leadership, the main activity of which is the liberation of Palestine and destruction of Israel,”

you will see that the NYT did not remotely deal with Israel’s allegations.

By Zena Agha, NYT

On Oct. 19, the Israeli Ministry of Defense singled out six of the most prominent Palestinian human rights and civil society organizations, using secret, and thus far insufficient, evidence to accuse them of being “terrorist” organizations with links to a militant group. Just days later, Israel approved the construction of more than 3,000 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank and announced plans to double the Jewish-Israeli population in the Jordan Valley by 2026.
