In new audio from interview with Barak Ravid, Trump laments what he sees as dwindling support for Israel among many American Jews.

Israel National News 

Former President Donald Trump, in newly released audio of a recent interview with Israeli journalist Barak Ravid said that “Jewish people in the United States either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel.”

“There’s people in this country that are Jewish who no longer love Israel. I’ll tell you the evangelical Christians love Israel more than the Jews in this country,” Trump said.

• The conflict in Yemen means more to the Iranian regime than merely taunting its Gulf rivals. Rather, it seems to be an ideological crusade to unite the Muslim world under its own Islamist rule, one that will always see any attempts at peace as merely a delay in the process.
• One of the Iranian leaders’ main objectives in empowering their militias and terror groups in other countries is to export the Islamic Republic Revolution to other nations. This mission is, in fact, part of Iran’s Constitution.

Qatar Negotiating A Peace Deal With Israel  Aug 25/21

Tiny Qatar casts a giant shadow by Ted Belman  Nov 2012

My name is Ephraim Kaye and I worked at Yad Vashem for 32 years before I retired in 2020. I directed the dept. for International seminars for educators in the International School for Holocaust studies for 25 years.

Let me be very concise and to the point. There was a large picture of the Mufti and Hitler in the old museum. I started guiding there in the early 1980s.

Following a published letter by the head of “Yad Vashem” — Israel’s premiere Holocaust museum and research center — defending its refusal to display an infamous photograph of leading Palestinian “Mufti” [Islamic legal authority] Haj Amin al-Husseini meeting with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler during the Holocaust, Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) head Morton Klein slammed the museum and its head Dani Dayan for the “appalling” censorship of history.

MARCHING WITH signs reading ‘preserving and saving the Israeli land,’ in Bat Ayin and Gush Etzion junction, June 21.<

At a hearing held by the parliamentary Land of Israel Caucus, Meir Deutsch, director-general of the Regavim movement, unveiled his organization’s findings regarding illegal Palestinian construction in Area C, the portion of Judea and Samaria that is under full Israeli military and civilian control.

The Democrats announced they were going to table the horrible US ‘Build Back Broke’ bill yesterday.  This news came as Senator Manchin continued to show his hesitation in supporting the economically suicidal legislation.

Instead, they are going to again focus on their national election bill – HR1.  This is a complete communist takeover of America’s election system.  

Steve Bannon noted this on the War Room:

On a party-line 219 to 212 vote, the House on Tuesday passed the Combating International Islamophobia Act, which is co-sponsored by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu). The bill calls upon the president to appoint a “special envoy” to fight “Islamophobia”; this envoy will head up a State Department that will monitor the phenomenon. Omar’s bill, however, is wrongly focused in all kinds of ways, not least of which is the fact that it will combat efforts to “promote racial hatred” against Muslims, even though Islam is not a race and there are Muslims among people of all races. Meanwhile, the raucous House debate raised other problems with the bill as well, including the likelihood that it will inhibit counterterror efforts.

T. Belman. Right off the bat, they still support the two state solution and consider the settlements to be a violation of “international law”. As for whether they vote against anti-Israel resolutions at the UN, remains to be seen. They still support UNRWA. NO MENTION HAS BEEN MADE OF TERMINATING  GERMANY’S SUPPORT OF ANTI-ISRAEL NGO’s.

Book tells of Jared Kushner’s fury at Israeli PM’s unexpected declaration, an exasperated Trump snapping, ‘If you want to do it, do it,’ and Netanyahu’s cold feet before UAE deal

In January 2020, during a festive White House unveiling of Donald Trump’s long-gestating peace plan, then-Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu giddily announced that under its auspices, Israel would move to immediately annex large parts of the West Bank.

The Israeli right was ecstatic. Finally, they believed, Israel would take full control of land that settler leaders hope will remain forever Israeli — and with the blessing of a US president, no less.

The IDF has begun preparing for a general war against Iran, including but not limited to an attack on that country’s nuclear facilities, Israel Hayom reported.

The new operational plans include the option of an “exchange of blows” – both direct and indirect – of varying strengths between the two countries.

According to the report, Israel is only partially prepared for a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, after the preparations for a strike were abandoned in the previous decade following the signing of the “Iran deal.” The plans were renewed and accelerated this year, but it will take another 3-5 years until they are properly ready.

Israel National News <
>
Minister without portfolio Eli Avidar (Yisrael Beytenu), who recently showed dissatisfaction with the conduct of the government on issues such as the green pass and the Shin Bet monitoring of COVID-19 carriers, on Wednesday expressed distrust in Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, and claimed that he is deceiving Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and does not Intend to implement the rotation agreement between the two.

“Yesh Atid is asleep,” Avidar said in a closed conversation, the contents of which were published on Channel 13 News.

“Bennett’s policy, sowing hysteria and depriving freedom, abolishing the Western Wall outline, weakening the submarine investigation committee, and opposing the law preventing a defendant from serving as Prime Minister, prove that Bennett and Yamina do not intend to carry out the rotation. We will do everything to prevent them from overthrowing the government of change.”

Last night, 219 democrats voted in favor of House Resolution 5665 which establishes the Office to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia and addresses related issues inside the U.S. Department of State.  This is the culmination of over 20 years of work by the Global Islamic Movement to impose the Islamic Law of Slander on Americans.  In Islam, Slander is a capital crime and is legally defined as to say anything about Islam/muslims that a muslim would “dislike.”

by John D. Guandolo, UTT

Last night, 219 democrats voted to advance the strategic objectives of the Global Islamic Movement – which includes Al Qaeda, IS (Islamic State), Iran, Hizbollah, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, and the entire Islamic world at the Head of State level – to impose the barbaric Islamic law called “sharia” on American citizens.

By passing House Resolution 5665 by a vote of 219-212 votes straight down party lines, the democrats openly and directly aligned themselves with foreign entities advocating for the overthrow of the American Republic and the enslavement of American citizens.

Pulse of Israel

Did you hear about the two Jewish workers who were lynched a few days ago by their Arab Muslim co-workers on a construction site in Central Israel? Neither did most Israelis!

Miraculously they were saved. But, unfortunately, this episode is indicative of the rot of progressive ideology that has taken over most of the leadership and authorities in the freedom-loving world today, not just in Israel.
