In recent years, there has been a lively debate regarding the “Operational Doctrine for Victory” advanced by the current IDF Chief-of-Staff. The changes inherent in this doctrine have far-reaching implications for the IDF’s order of battle and approach to the use of force. The doctrine itself has many vulnerabilities that must be fixed.

In recent years, there has been a lively debate regarding the “Operational Doctrine of for Victory” advanced by the IDF Chief-of-Staff. The changes inherent in this doctrine have far-reaching implications for the IDF’s order of battle and approach to the use of force; and in part, even on the State of Israel’s national security strategy. At least in the public sphere, these matters are not being sufficiently discussed.<

As a candidate, Joe Biden’s number one promise was to “unite” America. Yet in his first months as president, his number one priority has been to divide our country by race and gender at every turn.

There is no clearer example than the Biden administration’s new effort aimed at indoctrinating America’s schoolchildren with some of the most toxic and anti-American theories ever conceived. It is vital for Americans to understand what this initiative would do, what drives it and, most importantly, how we can stop it.

T. Belman. In Yiddish there is a popular expression, “Es vet dir gurnist helfen.” (It won’t help you at all.) It comes to mind when considering whether to participate in negotiations at all. Netanyahu was right to refuse to participate and in asserting that Israel will defend itself. The people recommending participation, I would imagine are from the left.

In fact participation compromises your ability to act independently.

Three former top security officials say there is little time left to try to affect the Iran nuclear deal. Otherwise, they caution, Western powers can claim Israel has had its chance to be heard – and missed it

A sensitive document was sent in recent weeks to most of the senior offices in Israel, other than that of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His successor, Naftali Bennett, has already read it.

It’s signed by three worried citizens: Maj. Gen. (res.) Aharon Ze’evi-Farkash, a former director of Military Intelligence; Gideon Frank, a former head of the Atomic Energy Commission; and Ariel Levite, one of Israel’s leading nuclear experts. The document’s authors were invited to present it at several meetings with the heads of the relevant organizations.

• Secretary of State Antony Blinken… stated at his inauguration hearing that he had “deep concern about the designation” of the Houthis as a terrorist organization, in that “at least on its surface it seems to achieve nothing particularly practical in advancing the efforts against the Houthis and to bring them back to the negotiating table….” One wonders if the same thinking would apply to Al Qaeda or Islamic State.
• In yet an additional form of appeasement, the Biden administration has been strenuously ignoring the Iranian regime’s aggression and destabilizing behavior….. now, [Iran] is sending a destroyer… and a support vessel… to Venezuela.

Statistics Canada just released the 2018 report of Police-reported hate crimes, but the numbers don’t say what you might think.

Despite what the mainstream media portrays when discussing the topic of racism, in 2018, the Jewish community was, in fact, the most frequent target of religiously motivated hate crimes, with 347 separate incidents — a distinction that they’ve held for more than a decade.

When it came to attacks against Muslims, following a moderate increase in 2017, police reported 176 fewer incidents in 2018, for a total of 173  — a decrease of 50 percent.

Labor party Diaspora Minister Nachman Shai.

The new Diaspora Minister, Nachman Shai (Labor), said on Friday morning that the Bennett-Lapid government would not give up any part of Judea and Samaria.

Shai was interviewed on 100FM, and the host pointed out that a member of the coalition, Ra’am chairman Mansour Abbas, had spoken in Arabic about the return of the “occupied territories.”

The Jewish attempt to cancel Israel and Jewish peoplehood

‘Der khazer iz undzer hoypmashin af tsu prutsirn fleysh in di noeyntste yorn!’ (‘The pig is our main machine for production of meat in the coming years!’) — Yiddish poster promoting the campaign of the People’s Commissariat of Agriculture for development of the Soviet meat-producing industry DESIGNER UNKNOWN, PUBLISHED BY TSENROIZDAT (CENTRAL PUBLISHING HOUSE FOR THE USSR PEOPLES, 1924-1931)/BLAVATNIK ARCHIVE

In May, when Israelis were attacked by Hamas missiles from Gaza, the criticism from some voices within the American Jewish community seemed not only more intense but categorical, escalating very quickly from what Israel did to what Israel is. In many blue state cathedrals, it was no longer good enough for critics to call themselves “pro-Israel” and “pro-peace” or affirm their Zionist credentials while blasting Israel for real or supposed misdeeds. Echoing social justice talk, dozens of Jewish and Israel studies scholars defined Zionism as “a diverse set of linked ethnonationalist ideologies … shaped by settler colonial paradigms … that assumed a hierarchy of civilizations” and “contributed to unjust, enduring, and unsustainable systems of Jewish supremacy,” while the CUNY Jewish Law Students’ Association more concisely demanded “a Palestinian right to return, a free and just Palestine from the river to the sea, and an end to the ongoing Nakba.” This language effectively denied the need for a Jewish state, thereby declaring war not just on Israel’s existence but on modern Judaism as we know it.

T. Belman, They could submit many rightwing bills and Yamina and New Hope would support them. In fact, the way to bring this government down quickly is for the Right to initiate rightwing Bills which Bennett and Saar couldn’t do on their own. That would incense the Left. If the Joint List can support the government so can the right.

I say this without knowing how Bills reach a vote in Knesset. Anybody?

Bill would grant state greater powers to limit immigration and expel illegal residents, permanently enshrine Citizenship Law.

Arutz Sheva Staff , Jun 17 , 2021 10:12 PM

Opposition Knesset members today (Thursday) submitted a draft bill aimed at regulating Israeli immigration policy and, moreover, the law prohibiting the unification of Palestinian Arab families in Israel.

The Likud has announced that the opposition will advance a ‘right-wing’ law on curbing Arab immigration to Israel: the Basic Law on Immigration to Israel.

In a stunning admission in a June 8 MSNBC interview, former FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi provided a window into the mind of the highest echelons of federal law enforcement and how they are targeting those on the political right.

“In order to really tackle terrorism, and this time domestically,” Figliuzzi said, “you’ve got to attack and dismantle the command and control element of a terrorist group.”

T. Belman. The status quo is not sustainable. The Arabs are fighting to amend it in their favour. The Jews meanwhile only want to maintain it. This passivity is losing ground to the Arab aggression as Shragai points out. Jews must fight for Jerusalem even more vigorously than the Arabs do. It will boil down to the battle of wills. He, who wants it the most, will win.

Recently I watch MK Nir Barkat discuss his Sovereignty Plan in a ZOA webinar. I was very impressed by him. I think he will be Prime Minister when Netanyahu leaves the scene. During the question period he, being a former Mayor of Jerusalem, was asked what is position was on Biden’s plan to open a US Consulate for the Arabs in eastern Jerusalem. He said it was there for many years before Trump and he saw nothing wrong with it being put back there. His answer provoked the following comment from me; “Trump did us a great favour by taking Jerusalem off the table and it would be a grave mistake for us to put it back on the table by allowing the Consulate to return.

New Public Security Minister Omer Bar-Lev effectively supports dividing Jerusalem, even if he doesn’t define it that way. But first, he has to restore order to the city, where Hamas is digging in.

During the First Intifada, then-Israel Police Commissioner David Krauss felt that Jerusalem – the city that had been brought together – was slipping away from him. Krauss, an Auschwitz survivor, didn’t know what to do. He swore that Jerusalem “would not fall” on his watch, and with great emotional devotion ordered his forces to “re-liberate Jerusalem.” Yes, in those words, which were considered completely politically correct at the time.

Do you remember how conservatives went out of their way to separate rank-and-file FBI agents from the corrupt actions of Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe, Bill Priestap, James Baker, James Rybicki, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and others as more evidence came to light revealing that the top brass at the bureau had worked to create an “insurance policy” that could be used to overthrow President Trump from office?  Writers and television pundits would always couch any criticism of the bureau in some respectful language like “we’re only talking about high-ranking officials here, not the FBI, itself, which is filled with the best agents in the world who are always looking out for America.”
