Life in the Stone Age  

By Victor Rosenthal

Almost every day that passes sees attempts to murder Jews, because they are Jews. Some of these can even be called attempts at mass murder. No, I am not only talking about rockets launched from the Gaza strip and aimed at Israeli towns and cities. I am referring to something which almost never makes the news outside of Israel, and often goes unmentioned even here: what I have called “small-time terrorism,” which includes firebomb and rock-throwing attacks against Jews.

If you think rock-throwing is only an annoyance, watch the video here and think about this: a rock thrown from an oncoming vehicle at one in the opposing lane strikes its target at a velocity equal to the sum of the speeds of the two vehicles, plus whatever the thrower adds to it, less a bit due to air resistance. So a rock thrown at you from a car traveling at 100 km/h (60 mph) may hit your windshield at more than 200 km/h. Let’s say the rock is 10 cm (4.1”) in diameter; it will weigh nearly 1.5 kg, or more than 3 pounds. A brick could weigh twice as much.

Make Peace, not War, with Russia  

Our current policies will only strengthen the Sino-Russo Axis and make inevitable a World War III that the U.S. will lose.  Opinion.

By Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, INN 

The Sino-Russo “New Axis”

The alliance between Russia and China is the greatest military threat ever posed to the U.S. and the Free World, not least because Washington has been so tardy in recognizing the growing peril from the Sino-Russo “New Axis” that now threatens to escalate the New Cold War into World War III.

For decades, Russia and China have:

Minister Yoaz Hendel: We must respond to violations of our sovereignty  

Minister Hendel: Response to Gaza rocket fire should be such that our deterrence will not be eroded.

ARUTZ SHEVA

Minister Yoaz Hendel (New Hope) commented on Sunday on the rocket fire from the Gaza Strip towards central Israel, telling Radio 103FM in an interview that Israel must respond to any violation of its sovereignty.

“We have been in a war of attrition against the Gaza Strip since the Disengagement and from time to time we find ourselves in a military operation. To this day, the State of Israel has not decided what it wants in the Gaza Strip. Until that happens, the most basic thing is that we must respond to any violation of our sovereignty and the response should be such that it does not erode our deterrence,” said Hendel.

UK warned it would recognize Palestine if Israel annexed West Bank, book reveals  

T. Belman.  Now we understand just how invested in the two-state solution Europe is. That is not to say Israel should give in to the pressure. Instead Israel should make certain to eradicate all EU financed illegal Arab construction in Area C. Also Bennett must stay true to his commitment to not freeze settlement construction. In fact he should announce more construction and not back down from building in Atarot which is in northern Jerusalem

Weeks before Netanyahu’s July 2020 target for controversial move, British envoy to US surprised American counterparts with threat, said it would lead to others following suit

By TOI STAFF     1 Jan 2022,

The United Kingdom’s ambassador to the United States warned the Trump administration in June 2020 that if Israel went forward with plans to annex large parts of the West Bank, London would officially recognize the State of Palestine, a new book has revealed.

The message was passed along by Karen Pierce in a meeting she held with then-US president Donald Trump’s Mideast peace envoy Avi Berkowitz and Iran special envoy Brian Hook on June 12, 2020, Israeli journalist Barak Ravid wrote in his book “Trump’s Peace.”

The escalating international war against Israel  

Israel has no choice but to fight the U.N.’s new permanent inquisition against it, and any business, government or judge that uses its reality-free reports.

By Caroline Glick

At the U.N. General Assembly last month, a large majority of member nations voted to lavishly fund a permanent inquisition against the Jewish state. The member states funded the operation of an “ongoing independent, international commission of inquiry” against Israel.

The commission, run by outspoken haters of Israel with long records of demonizing it and its people, was formed by the U.N. Human Rights Council in a special session in May. Its purpose is to deny and reject Israel’s right to exist, its right to self-defense, its right to enforce its laws and its citizens’ rights to their properties and to their very lives.

The Council’s decision to form its new permanent inquisition constitutes an unprecedented escalation of the political war the United Nations has been waging against Israel for the past 50 years. To grasp the danger, it is necessary to understand how Israel’s foes operate at the United Nations and how their partners in Europe and Israel itself operate.

Putin: “Insulting Muhammad is a ‘violation of religious freedom”  

T. Belman. Putin is thus favouring freedom of religion over freedom of speech. But Freedom of religion simply means the right to think, express and act upon what you deeply believe, but it doesn’t also protect your beliefs from criticism nor your feelings regarding your beliefs.

Islam is not only a “religion”, it is also a political system that impinges on the rights of others, big time.  We must protect our right to criticize it. In the US, freedom of speech gives you the right to urinate on the stars and stripes and to attack belief in God or Jesus. Surely it also gives you the right to attack Mohammed.

Days ago, Russian leader Putin stated that insults to Muhammad were a “violation of religious freedom and of the sacred feelings of people who profess Islam.” He went even further to cite “as an example the attack on the editorial office of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris after its publication of cartoons of the prophet.”

Now Jamaat-e-Islami is hailing Putin over his comments, calling Putin’s stand a “great effort to mitigate rising Islamophobia in West.” Note that jihadist countries do not focus any significant attention to China’s “Islamophobia.”

Gantz promotes ‘Equality Law’ & IDF reform – Shaked opposes  

T. Belman.

“Minister Ayelet Shaked and other members on the right fear increasing the maneuvering space of the High Court, when it comes to issues of identity and national rights.”

They are right, of course. Just as the High Court wreaked havoc with the Basic Law on Dignity“, it will wreak havoc on the Equality Law. It will do this even if the law is amended to stipulate that nothing in the law shall be construed to give citizens national or identity rights. The High Court will find a way.

Given how the high Court has defined “dignity” there is no need for the Equality law.

The Minister of Defense plans to promote the enactment of two Basic Laws, which are supposed to supplement the Nationality Law of 2018, and to promote reform in the IDF service.

ISRAEL HAYOM

Defense Minister Bnei Gantz is expected to advance three laws in the coming weeks, designed to solidify Israel’s national identity.

These are the Equality Law, the Basic Law of the Declaration of Independence and the reform of the service.

According to Ganz, passing these laws would complete the Nationality Act that provoked a public outcry when enacted in 2018, and eliminate the need to amend it.

Bennett Is Sure His COVID Policy Is Right Amid Surging Infection Rates, Unrest in Cabinet  

T. Belman. Why does Bennett remain silent on HCQ and IVM?

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett reckons that by the middle of next week, the first of 2022, the daily number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Israel will reach about 10,000. By the end of the week, it will soar to 25,000, at least. Double the peak number chalked up in January of last year. And so on. Doubling and doubling, until the slowdown phase that might come only in about two months.

In light of such figures, the considerable loosening of quarantine procedures that were decided upon in the past two days were inevitable. Otherwise, millions of Israelis would be entering preemptive quarantine; that is, a de facto lockdown and a mortal blow to the economy, which would come to a standstill.

Biden Administration Must At Least Help Any Country Trying to Confront Iran’s Mullahs  

by Majid Rafizadeh, GATESTONE INSTITUTE

  • While the mullahs are using religion to justify their mission of taking over the region, they are more likely attempting to take control of all the oil in the region; they appear to be advancing their hegemonic ambitions to this end.
  • Iran has for decades been encircling the Middle East — in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq — by building a squeeze maneuver known as the “Shia Crescent; ” it has been trying to unseat the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through Iran’s Houthi proxies in Yemen, and it long ago attached itself to South America’s most oil-rich country, Venezuela.

Social Media Censors Ignore Islamist Hate Speech and Incitement to Murder  

T. Belman.  One can only conclude that the censors are partnering with the Islamists.

by Raymond Ibrahim, Raymondibrahim.com,  

Unlike numerous American conservatives, Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid is not banned from Twitter.

Despite Facebook’s zeal at censoring so-called “hate speech” and “offensive content,” violent, radical, and murderous content from Muslim terror groups is allowed to appear on and make use of the social media giant’s platform. According to a recent report, Facebook has allowed “scores of groups” that were supportive of either Islamic State or the Taliban to operate freely.

This matter is significantly worse when one looks at Facebook in Arabic and other languages commonly spoken by Muslims. In the last few years, I’ve seen endless Arabic-language content on Facebook and other social media giants that amounts to nothing less than terroristic incitement. Usually, these posts remain on the social media platforms for years—until, of course, I or others draw attention to them in English-language articles, at which point they are conveniently removed.

Time for Israel to “Reoccupy the Gaza Strip”  

T. Belman. I am unaware of any changes to the stalemate since then but I am very concerned about his recommendation that after Israel destroys Hamas by retaking Gaza, that it should return it to the PA.  The PA is not Israel’s partner.  It is Israel’s existential enemy.

For the last 13 years, the division of the Arabs into two groups has helped Israel to avoid making more concession to their cause. Besides that, every effort should be made to get the 1.5 million Arabs there to emigrate to Egypt or Jordan or elsewhere. In my  Memo to Kushner, I explored this recommendation in depth.

Yoni Ben-Menachem, an Israeli journalist and senior researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, spoke to an August 30 Middle East Forum Webinar (video) about escalating violence emanating from Gaza and what Israel can do about it.

Ben-Menachem said that the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan has “alarming” implications for Israel because Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad are “encouraged by the victory.” All of these terrorist organizations “share the same Islamic ideology of jihad and sumud [steadfastness],” he explained. “The lesson of Afghanistan is that they have to stay on the land and not give any inch … [and with]stand Israeli pressures, and they will win in the end.” Two months ago, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh met in Doha with Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar, who praised Hamas’s war with Israel.

Wisconsin Election Committee Makes New Demands After Alleged Voter Roll Chaos  

By Randy DeSoto, WESTERN JOURNAL       Dec 31, 2021

Republicans on the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections are making demands for information regarding the state’s voting rolls and who had access to them, given the unprecedented involvement of partisan groups in the election process.

In a Dec. 22 letter, committee chair state Rep. Janel Brandtjen and five other members called for the administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, Meagan Wolfe, to turn over several pieces of information.

“We are concerned that Wisconsin’s voter rolls and voting system remain secure, protected and accurate,” the lawmakers wrote.

UK: Jewish National Fund chief denounced as ‘Islamophobic’ for noting Islamic antisemitism  

T. Belman.  Hayek is right of course. But where can Jews run to? Israel is the safest haven even though its not that safe.

Remember, The Middle East Monitor is very  antisemitic.

US House passes bill to combat Islamophobia: All you need to know about the Ilhan Omar-introduced legislation

The measure would establish a special envoy position at the state department to monitor and combat crimes against Muslims worldwide. It is unlikely to advance in the Senate

By

Everything Hayek said is perfectly true and readily demonstrable, but it is not acceptable to enunciate today. Fantasies of multiculturalism must trump reality, no matter how ugly reality gets as a result.

“Calls for JNF UK chief to resign over incendiary Islamophobic remarks,” Middle East Monitor, December 24, 2021:

British Labour MP Alex Sobel has called on Samuel Hayek, the chairman the Jewish National Fund (JNF UK), to resign or be removed from office for offensive anti-Muslim remarks.

Abolish the UN Human Rights Council  

The new commission of inquiry led by the former U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights is poised to accuse Israel of the purported crime of its very existence going back to its creation in 1948. Opinion.

By Melanie Phillips

(JNS) At the turn of a new year, people traditionally make resolutions to improve themselves. So, what is the United Nations setting itself to do better in 2022?

Answer: Launching an onslaught against Israel even more malicious and far-reaching than the U.N.’s previous attempts to delegitimize and destroy it.

In the past week, the U.N. General Assembly approved an annual $5 million budget for a commission of inquiry, led by the former U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, which has unprecedented scope to demonize Israel.

The ungracious — and their demonization of the past  

By Victor Davis Hanson, JWR

The last two years have seen an unprecedented escalation in a decades-long war on the American past. But there are lots of logical flaws in attacking prior generations in U.S. history.

Critics assume their own judgmental generation is morally superior to those of the past. So, they use their own standards to condemn the mute dead who supposedly do not measure up to them.

Yet 21st-century critics rarely acknowledge their own present affluence and leisure owe much to history’s prior generations whose toil helped create their current comfort.
