The fact is undeniable. The United States of America was and is afflicted with systemic racism.

[…]

Yet, America, a unique country in that it construed itself as a melting pot that welcomed all nationalities and faiths, dealt with its prejudices in a sustained way, changing laws and transforming hearts and minds along the way. It attempts to be as free of hatred as any individual can possibly be, hatred being an emotion that is part of our makeup. There is no multi-ethnic society in the world today that is as free and as welcoming as is America, which, for some strange reason, continues to be a magnet for immigrants across the globe who want to live in that systemically racist society.      America progressed because it embraced Martin Luther King’s vision of people being judged “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

We saw this coming for a long time. And it seemed to explode extemporaneously within this last month. It had already pushed off in the United States, using the Covid19 Virus, as the fuse to began shutting churches down. These actions were attributed to the pandemic ruling that due to the virus, people cannot gather.

This protects people from getting this contagious disease, they say. Great tool for Commicrat thugs who want to control every movement we make. This protects people from getting this contagious disease, they expostulated, even though not that convincingly.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.

by Howard Rotberg, NER 

Thane Rosenbaum, writing in Jewish Journal, on June 7, 2021, makes an important point:

“The apparent unwillingness, or cowardice, of many American Jews to identify with the existential dilemma of Israelis—and its spillover effect on Jews walking on American or European streets—is appalling. The cautionary, parallel tale of the cosmopolitan Jews of 1930s Berlin and Vienna, now long since murdered, is lost on everyone.

“The right to exist, which Israel’s enemies always denied, now carries over to the Jewish people at large. Denying the existence of Israel—the lone nation in the world where such an opinion is shared—always had the ring of the Final Solution, localized on the Jewish state. Today, all Jews are stand-ins for that state.

“Antisemitism is not just some idea, an ancient prejudice casually invoked. Wiping Israel from the map, soon may no longer be enough.”

The Likud would remain the largest faction in the Knesset if new elections were held today, a new poll released Thursday shows, but Yesh Atid continues to cut into the Likud’s lead.

According to the poll, which was conducted by Maagar Mohot and published by Channel 20 Thursday night, if new elections were held today, the Likud would retain its 30 seats, while Yesh Atid would soar from 17 seats to 23, a gain of three compared to the previous Maagar Mohot poll.

T. Belman.  The author encourages Congress to “ensure in a cool, logical, and peaceful manner, that the 2020 election is never repeated”  Not good enough.  It must be undone.

By Vince Coyner, AM THINKER

Earlier in the week, I asked the question: What if Proof of 2020 Presidential Election Fraud Develops? I mentioned several remedies that have been widely talked about from impeachment to a Pentagon coup to rioting in the streets.

None is an ideal solution. The first wouldn’t correct the problem, the second would turn the United States into a third-world banana republic and the last would bring about a modern version of the bloody chaos that characterized post-revolutionary France. An ideal solution would reverse Biden’s inauguration and inaugurate Donald Trump as the rightful president — and do so while maintaining our Constitutional Republic.

• The improvement in Iran’s technical ability to develop nuclear weapons is the result of a number of steps Tehran has taken during the past year to increase its nuclear activity, all of which constitute clear violations of the terms Tehran agreed under the JCPOA.
• Consequently, if the predictions are correct and Raisi emerges triumphant in the presidential elections [June 18], the prospects of the hardliners making any tangible concessions over the country’s nuclear programme will be negligible…. [Raisi] made his name during as a prominent member of Iran’s notorious Death Commissions, when opposition activists were either executed or sent to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war.

T. Belman. The X Mossad chief argues that “it was a massive strategic error for Netanyahu to be in open conflict with the Obama and Biden administrations over Iran.” Who am I to disagree with him, but I do. Obama and Biden are not our friends. They care only about their agenda to strengthen Iran and to force a two-state solution on Israel or at a minimum to force Israel keep the status quo. A friend would ask us, what do you want to do with the Palestinians and then support us.  As for Iran, they don’t care about our security as they are enabling Iran to get the bomb. What’s to talk about.

Biden administration reportedly planning to encourage more Arab countries to sign accords with Israel.

By Elad Benari, INN

The Biden administration is laying the groundwork for a renewed push to encourage more Arab countries to sign accords with Israel and working to strengthen existing deals, The Associated Press reported on Wednesday.

The embrace of the so-called Abraham Accords is a rare carryover of a signature Trump administration policy by President Joe Biden and other Democrats, noted the report.

Survey: 82% of Israelis Believe Only Full Defeat of Hamas Can End Conflict, Most Believe Fighting Should Have Continued

By  Jewish Press 

A comprehensive new survey undertaken for The Israel Victory Project shows for the first time the attitudes of the Israeli public regarding Operation Guardian of the Walls and the official policy regarding Hamas. Midgam Research and Consulting conducted the survey for the Middle East Forum following the recent conflict with Hamas. It asked 22 questions in Hebrew or Russian on May 27-31 of 503 Jewish Israeli respondents. The poll has a margin of error of 4.4%.

82% of respondents to the poll agreed with the statement that “There can be no appeasing Hamas; only by defeating it unequivocally can we bring this conflict to an end. Likewise, 70% agreed that “There can be no deals with terrorist organizations, only defeat. Israel must use all its military, diplomatic and economic means to crush Hamas’ will to continue fighting.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Surrendering to Hamas threats and canceling the flag parade in Jerusalem constitutes a grave violation of Israeli sovereignty that will lead to no less serious acts of extortion on the political and security levels.

Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett is going to be the first religious Jew to serve as prime minister of Israel, but judging by the past two weeks, his job would be less like politics and more like plate juggling, and with his tiny, nickel yarmulke he’s probably going to have to pick up that thing off the floor a lot of times. As things are shaping up, it’s Bennett against everyone else in the “change government” coalition, with Bennett enjoying the rare pleasure of fighting for control within, while being the subject of unprecedented, raw hate from the outside.

Israel’s Security Cabinet decided last night to reschedule the annual Jerusalem Flag March to this upcoming Tuesday in order to give the police more time to prepare.

They did so after the police initially cancelled the march, which was set to take place on Thursday, due to threats from Hamas. Nonetheless, it is unknown at this time if the police will approve the march.

It’s true that Hamas views the march as a provocation, but then, Hamas sees the existence of a Jewish state as a provocation. Does that mean we should pack our bags?

(June 8, 2021 / JNS) On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion made the fateful decision to declare the establishment of the State of Israel. He did so despite immense pressure opposing the move and the prophecies of doom regarding the nascent Jewish state.

Ben-Gurion passed the test that the State of Israel, 73 years later, has failed.
