By Wendi Strauch Mahoney, UNCOVERDC

The Maricopa County canvassing results are now published. Biden allegedly won by 10,457  votes in Arizona, yet, the report shows 173,104 “lost votes” and “96,389” ghost votes. Liz Harris, who spearheaded the canvass, appeared on Bannon’s War Room on Wednesday with Seth Keshel weighing in with his own data and his interpretation of the canvass data.

International Humanitarian Law in Asymmetric Warfare  

The Louis D. Brandeis Center (LDB or the Brandeis Center) has published an important new fact sheet on its website on International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and its application in asymmetric warfare, or conflicts between a state or traditional force and a non-traditional or non-state force (e.g., Israel and Hamas). This fact sheet educates students and others and helps them counter ill-informed criticisms of Israel, which will almost surely be on the rise as students return to campus and events in Gaza and Israel continue to feature in the media, including the press and social media.

LDB starts by briefly explaining what IHL is and where it comes from, and provides definitions of four core IHL principles—necessity, distinction, proportionality, and precautions. These terms are frequently invoked by media, governments, and college activists in accusing Israel, and specifically the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), of violating international law when conducting military operations. A proper understanding of these terms, however, and their application in asymmetric conflicts demonstrates the extent to which Israel’s military defense honors these principles—and the extent to which non-state actors like Hamas do not.

By L. Rachel Lerman, LDB Vice Chair and Senior Counsel

The terms “unnecessary,” “indistinctive,” “disproportional,” and “ill-precautioned,” are frequently invoked by media, governments, and college activists in accusing Israel, and specifically the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), of violating international law when conducting military operations. But these terms are often used improperly by persons lacking an understanding of international humanitarian law (IHL) and its application to asymmetric warfare.

Khan al-Ahmar is an issue for too long, time to make a choice – editorial  

The story of Khan al-Ahmar, a small encampment of Bedouin, just off the road past Ma’aleh Adumim on the way to the Dead Sea, is one of disputed narratives and questions of ownership.

   SEPTEMBER 5, 2021 20:21

THE BEDOUIN village Khan al-Ahmar 

You can count on certain things in Israel taking place every year. The holiday season beginning Monday night is one of them. And joining it as a perennial on the calendar seems to be the continuing fiasco over Khan al-Ahmar.

Whereas the holidays warm our hearts and remind us what it means to be a free people in our land, the contretemps, obfuscation, and nonsensical politicking, and foot-dragging over Khan al-Ahmar reveal how we continue to fail to realize the responsibility of dealing with the country we run.

Voter Fraud Is a Supreme Court Problem  

It is time for states to end this tyranny by reasserting their own rights.

By 

As a few American Greatness writers, and many of its readers, have pointed out: If our votes don’t count, nothing else matters. Election fraud should be the top subject in our minds every single day.

Last week, a brilliant piece by Ted McCartney suggested we march on Washington, D.C.—peacefully, but in huge numbers—with just a single demand: A constitutional amendment that requires all voting to take place in-person, on Election Day, with voter ID, on paper ballots, and that the ballots be counted that same evening on live-streamed television under the watchful eyes of as many in-person observers as want to be there.

A Mosque Refugee Stabbed 7 People. New Zealand is Banning Scissors  

“Allah says you will be punished.”

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM

After an ISIS terrorist went on a stabbing spree in a New Zealand shopping mall, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that the attack had nothing to do with Islam.

And some supermarkets have taken knives off their shelves.

The Jihad may have nothing to do with Islam, but it has a great deal to do with sharp objects.

Fauci’s entire dishonest house of cards just collapsed  

By Andrea Widburg, AM THINKER

Perhaps, at long last, the deadly reign of Anthony Fauci will come to an end. That’s because The Intercept, a hard-left publication, has revealed 900 pages of government documents definitively proving that Fauci used his position to fund gain-of-function research into bat viruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (“WIV”)—and then lied to Congress about it.

Is COVID a Pandemic of the Unvaccinated? Not Quite.  

By Brian C. Joondeph, MD, AM THINKER

Physicians spreading medical misinformation, particularly about COVID, “are risking disciplinary action by state medical boards” due to their “high degree of public trust” and their “powerful platform in society.” One could say this applies more so to the president of the United States, the CDC director, and to major newspapers and media organizations, all of whom have a far larger platform than any single doctor.

For example, will Rolling Stone face disciplinary action over their recent false story about Oklahoma hospitals and ivermectin?

Afghan debacle cedes Eurasia to the dragon and bear  

China and Russia set to cement alliance with US withdrawal and existential common threat of jihad on their frontiers

By Spengler, ASIA TIMES     SEPTEMBER 6, 2021

NEW YORK – “This is manifestly not Saigon,” said United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken as helicopters snatched fleeing Americans from the embassy roof in Kabul. It’s incomparably worse for America’s world standing.

Like the fellow in the Sam Cooke song, Blinken doesn’t know much about history or geography. Unlike the man in the song, he doesn’t know that one and one is two, by which I mean Russia and China.

Asleep in the tower: Behind prison escape, a farcical litany of Israeli blunders  

Zakaria Zubeidi said allowed into cell with other 5 escapees day before jailbreak, blueprint of prison was available online, and watchtower guard slept through the whole episode

TOI STAFF       6 September 2021, 11:22 pm

In this photo provided by Israel’s Prisons Service, Israeli security personnel inspect a cell after six Palestinians escaped through a tunnel the Gilboa prison in north Israel, on Monday, September 6, 2021. (Israeli Prisons Service via AP)

Prison building plans posted online, guards blind to digging occurring under their noses, a watchtower manned by a sleeping recruit, and a fumbled report of suspicious figures.

These were just some of the blunders and oversights that helped six highly dangerous Palestinian security prisoners tunnel out of one of Israel’s most secure prisons in the early hours of Monday and evade capture for a day and counting.

IDF chief says Israel accelerating Iran strike plans, acting throughout Mideast  

Aviv Kohavi also defends top brass amid anger over border cop’s death: ‘If we don’t back them up we’ll end up without commanders’

TOI STAFF      Today, 2:19 am

Israel has “greatly accelerated” preparations for action against Iran’s nuclear program, military chief Aviv Kohavi said in an interview published Monday.

Kohavi told Walla news that “a significant chunk of the boost to the defense budget, as was recently agreed, was intended for this purpose. It’s a very complicated job, with much more intelligence, much more operational capabilities, much more armaments. We’re working on all these things.”

Afghan Fallout: Biden Ruins America’s Most Important Relationship — India  

by Gordon G. Chang, GATESTONE INSTITUTE  •  September 7, 2021

  • If Washington is going to deter a militant China, it needs the support of democratic India. Unfortunately, India looks like the country most immediately — and perhaps most adversely — affected by the Biden-created debacle. As a result, New Delhi could decide to side not with America but with a Chinese ally, Moscow.
  • India saw the Afghan government as a friend in blunting extremism in neighboring Pakistan, which has always defined itself as India’s enemy.

Can the CDC, FDA, Fauci & NAID Be Sued for Fraud?  

By |September 6th, 2021

As I said at the end of my last column, COVID Injections: Killing, Permanently Disabling Nurses, Doctors, Teachers, you always need to go back to the genesis of the problem.  Identify is first because if you don’t know what the problem is, how can one possibly solve it?  I’ve made dates bold because this is very important.

February 3, 2020:  President Trump declares a public health emergency.  Based on what?  His staff informed him computer models predict 2.2 million will die; reportedly it was Fauci the Faker who delivered that canard.  Where did that number come from?  Prof. Neil Ferguson.  His ‘models’ have been rightfully shredded but the damage was done.[1][1A]

Running from Afghanistan  

By Victor Rosenthal

America has suffered a defeat of military and psychic proportions that have yet to be measured.

I once thought that future historians would be likely to use 9/11 as the date that marked the end of the American era, the one that started with the end of the Second World War and represented the flowering of one of the greatest national colossi in history, the nation and time that gave us (for good or ill) atomic energy, men on the moon, and the most incredible consumer culture ever seen.

But now I think that the date they will use will be 31 August 2021, the day a senile man who was never more than an empty suit sustained by narcissism at his best (and today he is definitely not at his best), placed America’s tail between her legs and told her to run.

Masking young children in school harms language acquisition  

By Valerie Walsh, AM THINKER

My county recently re-instituted an indoor mask mandate. In reading through the exemptions in the public health order I found this exception to mandated face coverings:

“Exceptions. Individuals performing any of the following activities are exempt from the Face Covering requirements of this Order while the activity is being performed:

a. Individuals who are hearing impaired or otherwise disabled or who are communicating with someone who is hearing impaired or otherwise disabled and where the ability to see the mouth is essential to communication”

Doctors in Israel have successfully separated twins conjoined at the head for the first time — and say that after the 12-hour “life or death” operation, both babies are likely to live completely normal lives.

Dr. Isaac Lazar told The Times of Israel of the remarkable moment on Sunday when the girls looked at each other for the first time, after a year connected at their heads but unable to see one another, and of the “unbelievable joy” that the parents felt.

Israel close to herd immunity, top health officials say  

Herd immunity in a month? Health officials say Israel close to herd immunity thanks to recent spate of infections, booster shot campaign.

Arutz Sheva Staff , Sep 06 , 2021 8:08 AM

COVID-19 vaccine
COVID-19 vaccine

Israel appears to be nearing herd immunity for the novel coronavirus, top health officials say, suggesting that the fourth wave of mass COVID outbreaks – and potentially the pandemic as a whole – could finally be nearing the end.

According to a report by Kan Monday morning, a number of unnamed senior Health Ministry officials said that if the recent spike in coronavirus infections continues through the next few weeks alongside the rapid mass vaccination campaign for the third dose of the COVID vaccine, Israel will be well-positioned to reach herd immunity within a month or two.

The Collapse of Lebanon: Scenarios for the Future  

Dr. Aiman Mansour, JISS

The dour forecasts regarding Lebanon’s future are based on fundamental facts that cannot be amended: A corrupt and rotten government and the dominance of Hezbollah. Under these circumstances, a possible alternative to current Israeli policy may be to reinforce the role of Syrian patronage, which has been undermined since 2005.

The continued deterioration of Lebanon is obvious. The country’s government is rotting and corrupt. Young people and families of means are fleeing the country; sects clash with each other and within themselves over political dominance; and prominent clans prevent a fairer distribution of resources. Religious, ideological, and local identities dominate. The loyalty of the public to the state as an established framework never has been solidified. In a way, Lebanon never fully has become a unitary state, and it is not expected to become one in the foreseeable future.
