Orthodox NJ Girl to Represent Israel at Beijing Olympics in Ice Skating Competition  

T. Belman.  The fact that she is a modern orthodox girl makes this story all the more inspirational.

By  Josh Hasten, JEWISH PRESS

(JNS) In a true “Cinderella story,” 19-year-old Hailey Kops, a religiously observant athlete from West Orange, N.J., is preparing to take on the world’s finest ice skaters while proudly representing Israel at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Kops and her partner 33-year-old Evgeni Krasnopolski recently qualified for the pairs ice skating competition at the Olympics, which will be held next February. They defied all odds when they finished in the top three at an Olympics qualifier event in Germany, punching their tickets to China, as they had only been training together as skating partners for three months.

Samantha Power and the Business of Funding Terrorism  

Won’t someone please help the poor terrorists?

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM

Samantha Power, who had once called for a military invasion and occupation of Israel, appeared in her new role as the head of USAID to complain about aid to the terrorists.

Power made her complaints at the virtual winter event for the Alliance for Middle East Peace, an organization that, like anything middle eastern with the word “peace” in it, is anything but peaceful, but managed to lobby Congress into allocating a quarter of a billion dollars to promote “peacebuilding” efforts by organizations like its anti-Israel member groups.

‘Israeli apartheid’ top human rights issue of 2021 – HRW  

T. Belman.  To emphasize how outrageous this is, if emphasis was needed, the Report didn’t even list Muslim violence as something Israel exceeded.  This suggests that such violence isn’t even worth a mention or is protected.

In 2010, Soros and Open Society Foundations Give $100 Million to Human Rights Watch.

“Human rights underpin our greatest aspirations: they’re at the heart of open societies.”

“It is intended to support the internationalization of Human Rights Watch, enabling it to establish advocacy offices in key regional capitals and to strengthen research on countries of concern. Human Rights Watch plans especially to increase its capacity to influence emerging powers in the global South to push a pro-human rights agenda.

“Human Rights Watch can have even greater impact by being genuinely international in scope,” Soros said. “Human Rights Watch must be present in capitals around the globe, addressing local issues, allied with local rights groups and engaging with local government officials. In five years’ time it aims to have as much as half its income and a majority of its board members come from outside the United States.”

In doing so, Soros bought control of the largest advocacy group in the world intending it to grow even larger and to influence governments all over the world. In short a power grab.

The NGO’s report on Israel’s conduct ranked higher than those on topics including sexual violence in India, extrajudicial killings in the Philippines, digital sex crimes in South Korea and more

A story about “Israel’s apartheid and persecution against millions of Palestinians,” topped the list of Human Rights Watch’s (HRW) most-read reports of 2021, the NGO has reported.

The report outlined what was described as Israel’s persecution and discrimination against Palestinian nationals in the West Bank and Gaza, which HRW says are “illegally occupied” by the State of Israel. Unlike the other reports listed in the article, the Israeli one was not a current event – written rather as an overview on the greater Israel-Palestine conflict.

Biden tries to play doctor, commits triage malpractice  

Min. Liberman tells cabinet ‘Omicron no worse than flu,’ 
Early data clearly shows that omicron is highly contagious and also not hazardous to public health.

By J. Deane Waldman, M.D., AM THINKER

Medical triage is necessary when there are insufficient medical resources to meet all immediate patient needs in a specific location.  When three soldiers are bleeding out after a battle and there is only one surgeon on site, that doctor must decide who gets care first.  The same is true when there are three COVID patients in respiratory failure and only enough ivermectin for one.

A recent announcement by “Doctor” President Biden turns triage upside-down: he is taking medical care away from those who need it and offering care where it is not required.

Biden announced that he is transferring 1,000 military doctors and nurses to various civilian hospitals in order to facilitate vaccinations in light of the rapid spread of the omicron variant of COVID-19.  A real doctor would call this triage malpractice.

Peter McCullough: Early treatment reduces hospitalizations by 85%  

Testimony before Texas Senate

Peter McCullough, M.D., is an internist and cardiologist. A professor of medicine at Texas A&M University College of Medicine, Dr. McCullough works on the Baylor Dallas Campus. He’s been involved in the response to COVID-19, both as an academic and as a physician who treats patients. In this testimony, Dr. Peter McCullough argues that COVID-19 is treatable, that the COVID-19 vaccines are not a magic bullet, and that there has been a concerted effort to keep important and even life-saving information from the American public.

Dr. Peter McCullough testified to the Texas Senate Health and Human Services Committee on March 10, 2021.

What follows is an edited and annotated transcript of his testimony. We’re concerned about the censorship on YouTube, Medium, Facebook, and many other social media platforms. In case it gets scrubbed from YouTube, we provide Peter McCullough’s testimony here.

Defiance of US pressure – critical to Israel’s national security  

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

The Ben Gurion role model* In 2021, Secretary of State Blinken pressures Israel to refrain from unilateral military actions against the rogue Iranian regime, to halt construction in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and East Jerusalem (while tolerating and encouraging expanded Arab construction), to re-divide Jerusalem, and to retreat to the pre-1967 ceasefire lines, which were termed “Auschwitz Lines” by Abba Eban, Israel’s dovish Foreign Minister.

*Defiance of US and global pressure was a critical attribute of Israel’s pro-US Founding Fathers – from David Ben Gurion in 1948 through Yitzhak Shamir in 1992 – which triggered a series of short term US-Israel frictions, but earned long term respect for Israel, while providing the US with a unique force-multiplier in the Middle East. On a rainy day, the US prefers a principle-driven ally, which does not retreat in the face of US and global pressure and refuses to sacrifice its own independent national security action on the altar diplomatic and economic convenience.

Three Retired Generals Loudly Demand A Military Coup In 2024  

By Wolf Howling, AM THINKER

Democrats claim that democracy is under attack in America and Democrats must act decisively to protect it. They’ve been trying to end the filibuster, nationalize voting, and pack the Supreme Court. The most ominous “fix,” which hinges on the myth of a “January 6 Insurrection,” sees retired generals argue that the military must purge the ranks of Trump supporters and prepare for a military coup to block a future contested election. This is unconstitutional, illegal, and spells the end of American democracy.

Victor Davis Hanson notes that leftists are loudly worrying about democracy’s end while ignoring all they’ve done to end democracy, such as bringing in millions of illegal aliens, many of whom are being given the vote; destroying centuries-old governing traditions such as the filibuster; packing the court; ending the Electoral College; and more.

Huge new study reveals extent of vaccine failure – Analysis  

T. Belman. Based on the study the government of Israel choose to do the wrong thing.  They are doubling down on a failed policy.

Vaccinated lose chance to gain vastly superior natural immunity

AMERICAN FRONTLINE DOCTORS      Dec 19, 2021

featured post image

It’s always reassuring to know that those controlling our lives are doing so only according to the latest scientific advances, guided by the best possible data, and informed by the most up-to-date statistics.

That’s why this new study from December 5, 2021, is so exciting. It analyzes data culled from around six million people – almost an entire country of people, namely, Israel. And the study was authored by a number of top scientists, including two people who are right at the top of the Israeli government’s COVID totem pole. One is Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, the director of Public Health Services; the other is Prof. Nachman Ash, former COVID Commissar of Israel and currently the director-general of the Israeli Health Ministry.

What Being Pro-Palestinian Really Means  

Campus activism for Palestinian self-determination has never been about statehood.

By Richard L. Cravatts, FPM    Dec 21/21

Writing in 2009 about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the insightful Palestinian/Israeli journalist observed that, “What is happening on the U.S. campuses is not about supporting the Palestinians as much as it is about promoting hatred for the Jewish state. It is not really about ending the ‘occupation,’” he wrote, “as much as it is about ending the existence of Israel.”

And that is what those who observe the campus activism against Israel have never fully understood: that being pro-Palestinian, by definition, means being anti-Israel.

It does not involve urging the Palestinian leadership to come to terms with Israel about long unsettled negotiation points about borders, Jerusalem, the return of refugees, and other key issues. It has never involved advising Palestinians to abandon terror, or so-called “resistance,” as a tactic for advancing political ambitions.

The Vulgarity of Islam’s Defenders  

By Raymond Ibrahim, AM THINKER

In a video recently uploaded onto YouTube, Bahgat Saber, a Manhattan-based Muslim Brotherhood activist who enjoys life and liberty in the USA, exhibited two aspects that Muslims zealous over their religion often exhibit: extreme vulgarity and warped logic.

Regarding the first point, he spent much of his time attacking Fr. Zakaria Botros (whom I first introduced to the English-language world in this 2008 NRO article).  A Coptic Christian priest from Egypt, now in his mid-eighties, Fr. Zakaria has for over two decades been appearing on satellite television, examining and exposing Islam’s many problematic doctrines — for example, sex slavery — often in comparison to the doctrines of Christianity. Although some of his episodes appear under provocative titles — as “Was Muhammad a Messenger from God or Satan?” or “On the Perverse Sexual Habits of Muhammad” — his mission,  as he has repeatedly stated “is to attack Islam, not to attack Muslims but to save them because they are deceived. As I love Muslims, I hate Islam.”

20 years before the Holocaust, pogroms killed 100,000 Jews – then were forgotten  

‘In the Midst of Civilized Europe’ by Jeffrey Veidlinger revisits the brutal violence in 1918-1921 that portended a genocide of Europe’s Jews, and was soon overshadowed by it

By RICH TENORIO, TOI

In the early 1920s, thousands of Jewish child refugees flooded into Moscow from Ukraine, fleeing a terrifying series of pogroms. Legendary Jewish artist Marc Chagall remembered giving art lessons to some of the refugees at a Jewish orphanage outside the Soviet capital. He recalled the horrifying atrocities they spoke about — their parents murdered, their sisters raped and slain, and the children themselves chased out in the cold, threadbare and starving.

Unlike the Holocaust, this earlier wave of antisemitic violence has largely been forgotten by history. Yet at the time, it was front-page news. From 1918 to 1921, more than 1,100 pogroms killed over 100,000 Jews in an area that is part of present-day Ukraine. Such large-scale violence led to fears that six million Jewish lives across Europe were at risk from antisemitic hate. Those who made such dire predictions included writer Anatole France; less than 20 years later, these fears were realized.

Covid Deaths per 1 million population as of Sept 20/21  

T. Belman. These dramatic variances have nothing to do with race or nationality or the % of people vaccinated. The only explanation can be found by noting the differences in early treatment, country by country.

Dr McCullough testified before the Texas Senate  that early treatment reduces the number of deaths by 85%. He also said there was a dirth of information in the US, amounting to a ban, about what was happening in the rest of the world.  McCullough comments on this here.

Israel did not allow early treatment nor did the US.  The same for Australia and Canada. The focus in all such countries was entirely on the percentage of vaccinated to the exclusion of any information on early treatment.

What more do you need to know.

NOTE: these figures come from Robert Kennedy’s new book. They are the number of deaths per 1 million population in each country to Sept 20/21.

United States                                    2,107

Iran                                                     1,449
Germany                                             1,126
Israel (as of Dec 20/21)                   935
Cuba                                                       650

UN passes 14 anti-Israel resolutions in 2021, only 4 against all other countries  

“The UN’s assault on Israel with a torrent of one-sided resolutions is surreal,” says Hillel Neuer, executive director of NGO UN Watch.

By Israel Hayom, December 20, 2021

The two latest condemnations were issued on Friday due to the automatic anti-Israel majority in the UN. In one resolution, pertaining to an event in 2006, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed “concern that Israel did not acknowledge its responsibility for the oil spill” off the Lebanese coast and failed to clarify how it intends to compensate the Lebanese government for it.

The second resolution condemned Israel for “exploiting the natural resources of the Palestinians, and on the Golan Heights.” It should be noted that the text makes no mention of Hamas’ commandeering of international aid money to fund the construction of terror tunnels rather than to rebuild destroyed infrastructure; environmental pollution caused by Palestinian tire burning; destruction of flora and fauna with arson balloons and kites; and refusal to develop their own water resources and deal with their own sewage as required by the Oslo Accords.

The Exposee article was misleading and incendiary.  

By Ted Belman and Peloni

I recently posted

Triple & Double Vaccinated accounted for 4 in every 5 Covid-19 Deaths in England over the past month despite most vulnerable getting Booster in October 

BY THE EXPOSÉ 

The latest figures published by the new UK Health Security Agency on Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths show that the vaccinated population still accounted for 4 in every 5 Covid-19 deaths over the past four weeks even though those who are deemed to be the most vulnerable to Covid-19 received their “booster” jab in September and October.

Then in a day or two, regretted having done so. Nothing in the article supports the conclusions in the title or the first paragraph.

The frog in the boiling water  

Those of us living outside Israel should not counsel Israelis in the line of fire, but here are two stories about that boiling water. Op-ed.

By Howard Rotberg, INN

In a couple of recent articles, such as “ “Attack on nuclear facilities or full-blown war on Iran?” December 16, 2021, and “What the public doesn’t know about an attack on Iran” December 17, 2021, veteran Israeli journalist Yoav Limor seeks to analyze the threat from Iran if it is not stopped in its quest for nuclear weapons (which Iran promises will be used against Israel). He is of the opinion that the generals and the politicians have been too passive in their thinking that America will keep its word to assist Israel in its prospective actions against Israel.

While I am not qualified to be a security analyst, it is hard to argue with those who now regret Israel’s failures to take stronger action against Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, before the advent of a problematic and perhaps anti-Israel American administration, and an Israel government now containing Islamists in a governing coalition.
