Yossi Dagan: Bennett’s statement is unacceptable  

By  Yoni Kempinski,, INN

Samaria Regional Council chairman Yossi Dagan responded to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s remarks in an interview with the New York Times, in which he said his government would build in Judea and Samaria, will not establish a Palestinian state but will also not apply sovereignty.

“Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said some things that are important and some things that cannot be accepted in any way. The statement that a terrorist state will not be established in the heart of the country is an important statement and so is the statement that this government will not resolve the ‘Israeli-Palestinian conflict,'” Dagan said.

Efrat mayor’s open letter to Bennett  

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

You are embarking on a first diplomatic visit as Prime Minister to our greatest friend, the United States, where there is also a new administration.

As in Israel, the president took office after a period of internal turmoil. The storms also somewhat dampened the political successes of the two previous leaderships.

You can continue the political achievements and also with respect to the current administration fortify settlement, whose leadership you previously were a part of – as long as the US realizes that settlement is not an obstacle to peace, as long as you see settlement as an integral part of the solution, as long as they do not try in a time machine to go back years to a non-existent reality. Settlement can exist and develop; The responsibility for this rests on your shoulders.

Qatar Negotiating A Peace Deal With Israel  

By JaFaJ     August 25, 2021

Introduction: JaFaJ intelligence sources in a major Western capital have confirmed that the Gulf state of Qatar is negotiating a peace agreement with Israel behind closed doors. The sources reported the secret negotiations are taking place in several Western capitals.

2-A Qatari intelligence operative, who is a Palestinian national, reported Qatar’s government is seeking a full peace agreement with Israel that is equivalent to the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The source confirmed: “Qatar knows the situation has changed, America is pulling out from the Arab Gulf and Qatar wants a new form of guarantee and cannot keep the UAE as the sole peace broker in the Gulf”.

As Bennett meets Biden, IDF ramps up plans for strike on Iran’s nuke program  

T. Belman. “If you intend to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.”  Obviously,  Gantz would rather talk than shoot. Its not like Israel. He has been making similar remarks for a month now. Does he think that by doing so, the US will be more inclined to coordinate plans with Israel.  I doubt it. Unfortunately I see no other reason for talking other than to avoid shooting.

Military, defense minister believe a credible threat of an Israeli attack on Tehran’s nuclear facilities is only way US will be able to negotiate better deal with Islamic Republic

The Israel Defense Forces is working full tilt to develop its plans to strike Iran’s nuclear program in light of the Islamic Republic’s ongoing march toward the technology needed for an atomic weapon, and the stalled negotiations between Washington and Tehran on the matter, IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi told reporters this week.

Our ‘Broken Windows’ World  

T. Belman’  I have no idea what his point is. What is his thesis?

By Jim Huylebroek, The New York Times

For years, “broken windows” policing — the idea that the best way to prevent serious crime was to enforce laws against petty crime — was derided by critics as unnecessary, unjust, even racist. So cities across America pulled back from prosecuting the supposedly small stuff, like shoplifting.

Now we’ve seen a jump in violent crime.

Criminologists can debate the causes of the new crime wave. But many people intuitively understand that places in which decay and disorder become the norm are places where crime tends to thrive. That’s because crime is largely a function of environmental cues — of the palpable sense that nobody cares, nobody is in charge, and anything goes.

New Israeli Leader Backs Hard Line on Iran but Softer Tone With U.S.  

In an interview before meeting with President Biden, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said he opposed U.S. efforts to restore a nuclear deal with Iran and ruled out peace talks with the Palestinians.

By Daniel Rolider, The New York Times

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, speaking days before his first meeting with President Biden as Israel’s new leader, said he would oppose American-led attempts to reinstate a lapsed nuclear agreement with Iran and continue Israel’s covert attacks on Iran’s nuclear program.

In an interview with The New York Times, his first with an international news organization since succeeding Benjamin Netanyahu in June, he also said he would expand West Bank settlements that Mr. Biden opposes, declined to back American plans to reopen a consulate for Palestinians in Jerusalem and ruled out reaching a peace agreement with the Palestinians under his watch.

Erdogan has a warm spot for the Taliban  

It is no coincidence that the only embassy of a NATO member country left open in Kabul is Turkish. Op-ed.

By Giulio Meotti, INN   Aug 18/21

Mohammad Yaqoob, son of the founder of the Taliban Mullah Omar, wants to establish “close relations” with Turkey. “We perceive Turkey as our ally,” said Yaqoob, who oversees the Islamic group’s military operations, on the day of the capture of Kabul. Turkish President Erdogan, four days before the conquest of Afghanistan, announced that he wanted to meet the leader of the Taliban. Then there is the announcement of the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who greets the “positive messages” of the Taliban.<

“Will Turkey work with the Taliban in Kabul?”, Newsweek now asks.

Open letter to Prime Minister Bennett ahead of visit to USA  

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

During your first official visit to Washington, DC, you’ll have to choose between two options:

1. Blurring your deeply-rooted, assertive Israeli positions on the future of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), which would be welcome by the Biden Administration, yielding to short-term political convenience and popularity inside the beltway; or

2. Tenaciously advocating your deeply-rooted, principle-driven positions, which would underscore a profound disagreement with the Biden Administration and the “elite” US media, while granting you and Israel long-term strategic respect, as demonstrated by some of your predecessors.

To all Rabbis: We expect you to prepare teens to fight campus antisemitism!  

Unprepared students are vulnerable to believing the slanders, losing their Jewish pride and walking away from Jewish identity..

By Shirley Lewis, INN    , Aug 24 , 2021 11:30 AM

campus anti-Semitism

campus anti-Semitism

US university campuses are cesspools of anti-Semitism. Most Jewishstudents begin their freshman year without the vocabulary to beat it back. By omission and/or commission lying about Israel is lying about Jews. That’s today’s campus anti-Semitism – a narrative of lies about Israel.

Our unprepared students are vulnerable to believing the slanders against us, then losing their Jewish pride, then walking away from their Jewish identity. Even Orthodox students, whose identity is strong to begin with, need the strengthening that a rabbi can provide.

This Horrible Fiasco Demands Change  

The Biden Administration, after seven months, has shown no competence whatever in foreign or national security policy.

By 

It might seem that there is little to be added to what the whole world has witnessed viewing the unutterable shambles of the U.S. departure from Afghanistan. But that would be an illusion. The story of the perilous departure from Afghanistan of NATO forces and civilians and their Afghan collaborators who are now in mortal danger is obviously a matter of great suspense. The United States could certainly tell the Taliban government of Afghanistan that if all those whom the Western powers wished to evacuate were not allowed to leave it would be an act of war. If there were the will to act on that ultimatum, it would be successful.

Israel confirms nearly 10,000 COVID infections in 24 hours  

T. Belman.  Notwithstanding the large number of people that have been vaccinated this year, we are about to beat the daily record of infections which was recorded in Jan 2021. So much for the vaccines.  Dr. Gina Louden said we are far better off going with therapeutics and developing immunity.

Country poised to break previous record of 10,1178 infections, recorded in January 2021. Infections triple in Haredi community just two weeks after students head back to school. FDA gives full approval for Pfizer’s COVID vaccine.

Israel appears poised to break its previous record for confirmed daily cases, according to Health Ministry data released Tuesday. Of the 157,994 people who tested for the virus Monday, 9,831 were found to have the disease. Israel confirmed its highest number of new cases, 10,118, back in January 2021. Over one million people have been infected since the beginning of the pandemic.<

The infection rate stands at 6.63%. The reproduction rate, which relates to the number of people each confirmed carrier infects, is 1.19.

Where are the Feminists?  

While the Taliban barbarically repress women in Afghanistan, toxic feminists wage a war against American men.

By Jason D. Hill, FPM

Freedom Center Shillman Fellow Bruce Bawer’s excellent Frontpage article “Where Are the Gays?” paints a chilling portrait of the imminent torture, execution and amputations that await gay men under Taliban rulership in Afghanistan. And, of course, western gays are silent. Many are too busy hooking up on multiple sex apps. Many have never been concerned with rights that extend beyond the erogenous zones of their genitalia, and several are too busy celebrating the pedophilia presented in the best-selling young adult pornographic novel, Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts), as a moral victory over heteronormative patriarchy.

There are lots of reasons to question the FDA’s greenlighting Pfizer’s vaccine  

See also, FDA Approves Pfizer Vaccine Even Though Multiple Safety Studies Won’t Be Completed For Years published by AM GREATNESS.

By Terry Paulding, AM THINKER

According to VAERS, 3,079 people have died after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, and nearly 3,900 have suffered a permanent disability. Many more thousands have been hospitalized with post-vaccination side effects. Think about that and then think about this “approval” of the vaccine as being “safe.” While I realize nothing is perfect, my only conclusion is that it was a political approval. The vaccine has killed and disabled an awful lot of otherwise healthy people, which doesn’t seem to me to warrant the green light it’s been given.

Previous experimental vaccines have been pulled for far fewer dangerous side effects. Normal vaccine approval is a 5-to-10-year process. We’ve accelerated the timeline because of the pandemic. Was that wise?

Israeli researchers: ‘Astounding results’ from new COVID treatment  

Hebrew University team say new treatment could be key to saving COVID patients. ‘All patients were discharged in under a week.’

The SARS-CoV-2 virus has infected over 212 million people worldwide causing nearly 4.5 million deaths.  Recent vaccination efforts have been hindered by multiple coronavirus variants that challenge current vaccines. While infection generally produces a mild disease, in some patients it can develop into a severe inflammatory COVID-19 requiring medical intervention.

Recently, Professor Yaakov Nahmias’ team at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) reported that the new coronavirus causes abnormal accumulation of lipids, which are known to initiate severe inflammation in a process called lipotoxicity.
