A compelling story is about struggle.
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
Every Hamas terrorist campaign against Israel leaves behind dead bodies on both sides, an Israeli military determined to avoid civilian casualties, and a Hamas leadership even more determined to make sure that there are plenty of dead civilians.
On both sides.

One week ago we reported that a man believed to be the highest-ranking Chinese defector ever was working with the Defense Intelligence Agency and that he had direct knowledge of special weapons programs in China, including bioweapons programs. We also reported that the defector provided an extensive, technically detailed debrief to US officials, that the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) was able to corroborate very technical details of the information provided, and that in DIA’s assessment, the information provided by the defector is legitimate. RedState has now learned some details of the information provided by the defector, including that he provided data proving that SARS-CoV-2 was manmade and leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in addition to evidence confirming that the People’s Liberation Army managed the Wuhan program (and others), as Chinese virologist Yan Li-Meng told the FBI last year.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was involved in a Saudi and U.S. pressure campaign on Jordan over the past three years, which among other things attempted to lower the standing of the country’s King Abdullah II, the Washington Post reported Friday.
T. Belman. No one believes they can achieve a two-state solution. Instead they use this fantasy as a basis to prevent Israel from deviating from its potential. ie, they want the status quo to be continued as bad as it may be.

Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland is attempting to put a chill in the air over states deciding to audit the 2020 elections.
Speaking on Friday regarding what the left misleadingly terms “voting rights” (all eligible adult U.S. citizens already have voting rights), Garland issued a not-so-subtle threat to states that are doing election audits.
T. Belman. This article doesn’t mention many things agreed to which are hugely important.
As all coalition agreements were submitted to the Knesset Secretariat, Yamina and Yesh Atid present the government’s key principles

Remember who won the tender to build the Ashdod Port in 2014 for a hefty $1 billion? The answer: the China Communications Construction Group.
Remember the Alon Tavor power station sold recently for about $600 million? That was also sold to a subsidiary of the same Chinese group.

Israel isn’t the only country that’s having to cope with a US administration threatening to undermine its security.
President Joe Biden last week ordered a senior American diplomat to issue a severe formal rebuke to Britain for the way it is dealing with the European Union over Northern Ireland.
Accordingly, Yael Lempert, the acting head of the US mission to the United Kingdom, issued a diplomatic reprimand to Britain’s Brexit minister, Lord Frost, and delivered a veiled threat that America’s proposed trade deal with Britain depended upon Boris Johnson’s government acceding to Biden’s demands.

The remarkable performance the US-Israel jointly-produced Iron Dome mobile, all-weather, anti-missile defense system – during the May 2021 Gaza war against Hamas terrorists – was another milestone in the mutually-beneficial US-Israel alliance in the face of mutual terrorist threats and in the pursuit of cutting-edge technologies.
The Iron Dome was fully-developed by Israel, mostly funded by the US, and co-manufactured by Israel and (mostly) the US. Upon completion of the development by Israel’s RAFAEL, the game-changing Iron Dome technology was shared with the US’ Raytheon, which spared the US many years and mega-billions of dollars of research and development.

Over the past decade, for the first time in its history, Israel developed a strong diplomatic posture in the region and worldwide. Israel developed strategic ties with Arab states, and the states of the eastern Mediterranean. It has built close ties with the EU’s Visegrád Group of central European states Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic as well as Austria and Italy. Israel upgraded its diplomatic and trade relations with the states of Africa and Central and South America, as well as with India, Japan and South Korea.
Show that there is principled continuity in Israeli foreign and defense policy, and retake the Temple Mount.

Would a government of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid really be a potential leftist disaster?
Pundits already are saying that Israel’s new government is a self-neutered, immobilized entity; powerless to make substantive policy changes. That Israelis will be lucky if all it does is pass a responsible budget and bring some stability and sanity to Israeli politics for a medium-term period.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, there is ample room for the Bennett-Lapid government to set a few things in order, and to make it clear to Israeli friends and adversaries abroad that there is principled continuity in Israeli foreign and defense policy.
T. Belman. New Hope got Funding a program to supervise Palestinian construction in Area C. Whatever does that mean or imply.
Although the terms under which the new coalition deals were finalized will only be revealed on Friday, the agreements’ key elements are clear
By Michael Hauser Tov, HAARETZ Jun. 9, 2021
The coalition agreements signed by all the parties in the emerging government will be made public only on Friday, but the main points are already clear.
A few issues still require further discussion, including some agreements with the United Arab List and the precise mechanism by which this “parity government” will work. But few governments actually finalize all the issues before they’re sworn in.
Given that this will be an ideologically diverse government composed of eight parties, each one knows its own accomplishments will be modest. The agreements state that every bill submitted to the Knesset and every other significant decision will require the consent of all the parties, making many major changes impossible.
T. Belman. The agreement with Ra’am is far less onerous than originally reported. The deal with Lieberman was as expected.

YESH ATID leader Yair Lapid meets with the head of Ra’am, Mansour Abbas.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid signed a historic agreement with the Ra’am (United Arab List) Party Friday morning.
Ra’am will be the first Arab party in the governing coalition since the Arab List for Bedouin and Villagers in Yitzhak Rabin’s first term as prime minister in 1974-1977.
The deal gives Ra’am a deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Office that will deal with Arab affairs and the chairmanship of the Knesset interior committee and committee on Arab society.
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.

Violating Israeli sovereignty and US law to support Islamic terrorists.
A decade ago, Vice President Biden paid a visit to Jerusalem.
Like any trip by an emissary of the Obama administration, it wasn’t a goodwill tour, but a combination of a provocation and a shakedown. While Biden was in Israel, two construction projects received partial approval in a multi-stage process from the City of Jerusalem.
Biden responded by staying up in his hotel room and refusing to come down for an hour.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.

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.”
