Refusing an Israeli request for a phone call between Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and US President Joe Biden, the White House clarified the rules of the game and what kind of relationship they expect between the two leaders.

By Ben Caspit, AL MONITOR Dec 28/21

The lesson that US President Joe Biden wanted to teach Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has been learned and the two leaders will probably talk soon. That, at least, is the hope in Jerusalem. “The Americans punched Bennett in the nose,” a very senior diplomatic security source told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity. “This was a clear American signal about the rules of the game and the relationship they expect to see between the White House and the prime minister’s office. I think Bennett got the message.”

Omicron upends the class politics of Covid       Dec 28, 2021

Until Omicron came along, the official response to Covid served as an instrument of class warfare against blue collar workers and small businesses, on behalf of the tech oligopolists and selected big businesses such as Target, which were deemed “essential. Not coincidentally, blue collar workers and small businesses are the core of the GOP base, while Silicon Valley and the plutocracy are the cash cows and power base of the Democrats.”

Israeli warplanes fired a number of missiles at the port of the coastal city of Latakia early Tuesday morning, causing large explosions and fires, in the second alleged Israeli strike in a month on the key facility.

For years, Israel avoided conducting strikes against the Latakia port due to the large presence of Russian forces nearby, despite Iran allegedly using the terminal to transport advanced munitions through it to its proxies in the region, notably the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group.

 “Feds Investigated Birx & CDC Director for “Scientific Fraud & Misconduct”; Fabricated, Falsified HIV/AIDS Vaccine Trials”

Dr. Robert Redfield, the director of the CDC, and Dr. Deborah Birx — the Coronavirus Coordinator for the White House — were the targets of a damning Department of Defense investigation after colleagues in the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force blew the whistle on scientific fraud during clinical trials of a HIV/AIDS vaccine.

T.Belman. I think it is a big mistake to suggest that maybe Israel can live with a deal if it is a good deal and if  the EU and the US will really enforce it. To my mind that shows weakness and undermines our  determination.. All he has to do is stress that Israel won’t be bound by it.

Prime Minister says Israel not opposed to Vienna nuclear talks with Iran, but laments current ‘dynamic’ of negotiations.

Israel National News 

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Israel is open to reaching a new nuclear deal with Tehran, while lamenting that the current ‘dynamic’ of talks in Vienna between Western powers and Iran is unlikely to achieve a ‘good agreement’.

Speaking with Efi Triger on Galei Tzahal Tuesday morning, Bennett said Israel is not opposed to talks with Iran or to the signing of a new nuclear agreement with the rogue nation, but emphasized that the terms of such an agreement must be ‘firm’.

Historically, multiple regions, including Alsace-Lorraine between Germany and France and Kashmir Province between India and Pakistan, have been contested by regional powers. And a regional rivalry in Eurasia has led to multiple armed conflicts. As recently as 2020, Armenia and Azerbaijan again engaged in a major conflict that culminated in an Azeri victory, with Armenian forces suffering heavy losses. In November, tensions between the two grew again as Azerbaijan began using its territorial gains from the 2020 conflict to create more outposts and checkpoints, impeding the transport of supplies and citizens. At the same time, Azeri soldiers have taken Armenian outposts while Armenian dissenters have attacked Azeri checkpoints and even used explosives against them.

T. Belman. Turkey is in trouble financially and politically and so is reaching out to Israel. Although he said some nice things about Jews (antisemitism is a crime against humanity) he still underscores the need for Israel to accommodate Islam in Jerusalem.

Turkey–Israel relations are vital for the stability of the region, President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an on Dec. 22 said at a meeting with members of the Jewish community in Turkey and the Alliance of Rabbis in the Islamic States (ARIS).

“We are ready to develop our cooperation and to better utilize our high potential. I attach importance to maintaining contact and dialogue,” Erdo?an said.

The president stressed that Turkey wants to see the Middle East as a place where societies from different religions, languages and ethnicities live together in peace.

Turkey’s economic turmoil might challenge Ankara’s grip over opposition-held areas in Syria, where in-house rivalries among the armed factions over financial resources have escalated.

Fehim Tastekin, AL MONITOR

Syrians in protest climb atop a Turkish military infantry-fighting vehicle as they attempt to block traffic on the M4 highway, which links the northern Syrian provinces of Aleppo and Latakia, about 14 kilometers southeast of the city of Idlib on March 15, 2020.

With economic turbulence rattling Turkey’s economy, the question is rising of whether Ankara can maintain its grip on Syria’s opposition-held areas where the Turkish lira is the de facto currency.

The meltdown in the lira has heated up the in-house rivalries over financial resources between armed opposition factions and fueled public discontent in opposition-held areas. The turmoil threatens to erode Turkish-backed militia’s control in al-Bab, Jarablus, Azaz, Afrin, Tel Abyad and Ras al-Ain.

“For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. “
— Hosea 8:7

Joe Biden, first as a candidate and then in the White House, from the outset saw the COVID-19 pandemic mainly as a means of leveraging political support, from the manner in which the lockdowns allowed him to run a virtual campaign from his basement to equating Donald Trump with the COVID-19 virus.

Like many on the Left, Biden was overt in such cynicism. So were Hillary Clinton, Gavin Newsom, and Jane Fonda—who claimed that COVID was a “never-let-a-crisis-go-to-waste” moment. Panic and lockdowns could help achieve single-payer health care, or a recalibrated capitalism, or the end of Donald Trump himself.

The COVID-19 digital vax pass is the Panzer tank of the next wave of the global public health Blitzkrieg.  If a person complies and gets their COVID-19 shots, they get a personal QR code. They can show this code on their smart phone to participate in society.  This plan is being rolled out around the world and has spread from Israel to Europe to Australia, and now has been established in the most strategic U.S. cities including Washington D.C., New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.  Some people with a whole lot of power are now seizing a whole lot more power in the name of public health.

In Israel it has been used the longest.  They call it the Green Pass, also translated as “Green Mark.”

Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit clarified Sunday that he has not approved restrictions on people who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 where there is no epidemiological or health justification.

Mandelblit’s statement came after media reports claimed that the government has discussed curbs on those who don’t get the shots as a way to encourage inoculation amid fears that the highly infectious Omicron variant will swamp the country with coronavirus cases.

He noted that all restrictions that apply only to the unvaccinated require a medical professional opinion from the Health Ministry.

Countless studies are devoted to studying and advancing remedies to racism, homophobia, antisemitism and anti-Muslim bigotry. Most studies dig out complex historical, sociological and religious reasons for them.

Yet the bottom line is that hostility toward those who are different from us is hardwired into human nature. Although we can be drilled into stating that diversity is a positive value, our default reflex is to seek the company and support of people who are similar to us.

VAERS is the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System put in place in 1990. It is a voluntary reporting system that has been estimated to account for only 1% (see the Lazarus Report) of vaccine injuries. OpenVAERS is built from the HHS data available for download at vaers.hhs.gov.

The OpenVAERS Project allows browsing and searching of the reports without the need to compose an advanced search (more advanced searches can be done at medalerts.org or vaers.hhs.gov).

G. Tod Slone has written that “as a political ideology, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), has proven time and again to be against freedom, reason, and truth.  Proponents of the ideology tend to be hypocrites and anti-white racists [.]”

In fact, DEI is also a pathway to anti-Semitism.  In a recent Heritage Foundation Report titled “Inclusion Delusion: The Anti-Semitism of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Staff at Universities” the reader learns that:

university DEI staff are better understood as political activists with a narrow and often radical political agenda rather than promoters of welcoming and inclusive environments. Many DEI staff are particularly unwelcoming toward Jewish students who, like the vast majority of Jews worldwide, feel a strong connection to the state of Israel. The political activism of DEI staff may help explain the rising frequency of antisemitic incidents on college campuses as well as the association between college and graduate education and higher levels of antisemitic attitudes.

Rather than promoting diversity and inclusion, universities may be contributing to an increase in anti-Jewish hatred by expanding DEI staff and power.
