Neither the Biden administration nor the British government yet grasps the imbecility of appeasement
By Melanie Phillips    April 26/21

An Israeli delegation has been in Washington DC today trying to persuade the Biden administration of the catastrophic folly of its intention to rejoin the shocking 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). This deal would facilitate an Iranian nuclear weapon with at best a delay of a few years, and by lifting sanctions would open the west’s financial spigots to funnel billions of dollars into the world’s most dangerous terrorist state.

A weekend of contention stalked the effort to recount the Election Day results from Arizona’s Maricopa County.

The recount was ordered by the Republicans who control the Arizona state Senate to settle — once and for all — questions regarding the integrity of the November election in which Democratic President Joe Biden won the state over former President Donald Trump.

T. Belman. Just as I wrote earlier today. In my opinion, Netanyahu isn’t offering enough. Saar and Bennett will hold out for more and will probably get it.

Something about the “change” bloc’s determination appears to have convinced Netanyahu that losing his mandate to form the next government could lead him to lose everything.

By  Mati Tuchfeld, ISRAEL HAYOM     04-26-2021 10:37

Recent political events, from losing a vote at the Knesset Arrangements Committee to Yamina head Naftali Bennett’s announcement he had entered into talks with the so-called “change” bloc to establish a coalition – a move that garnered widespread media support, seem to had an effect on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s confidence levels. One week ago, the alternative government seemed unattainable – a highly unstable government in which right-wing members would need to swallow too many frogs to exist. However, something about its founders’ determination appears to have made Netanyahu think otherwise and conclude that losing his mandate to form the next government could lead him to lose everything.

Deputy Knesset speaker’s role on offer to United Arab List leader

By Jonathan Lis, HAARETZ    Apr. 25, 2021 11:51 PM

Likud is set to offer United Arab List chairman Mansour Abbas one of four slots as deputy Knesset speaker, in an attempt to obtain his support for a bill calling for direct election of the prime minister. The chairman of the Knesset Arrangements Committee, Likud’s Miki Zohar, is expected to call a committee meeting on Monday and bring the selection of the deputies to a vote.

The Arrangements Committee, which decides on the composition of parliamentary panels and sets the Knesset’s agenda as long as a caretaker government is in place, was established last week. The proposal on the committee’s composition by the bloc opposed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which passed by a narrow margin, gives it an advantage over the parties that support the prime minister. Because of this, Zohar has prevented the committee from voting on its agenda.

T. Belman. In other words, Bennet is saying the price of getting rid of Netanyahu is to accept policies based on rightwing ideology. Stiff price indeed.

Members of the anti-Netanyahu bloc fear that if Bennett’s demands aren’t met, he might renege on his wish to form a unity government, and go with Netanyahu in the end

By Jonathan Lis, HAARETZ         Apr. 26, 2021 12:06 PM

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strictly refers to government that may arise to replace him as a left-wing government with a ‘token right-wing leader,’ referring to Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett. But in actuality, left-wing parties have been pushed away from the negotiating table, and decisions are being made without considering their requests.

Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid represents Labor, Meretz and Kahol Lavan in when corresponding with Yamina leader Naftali Bennett, and responsibilities for dividing up portfolios and establishing guidelines for a future government also rest on his shoulders.

Arguably, no one has been more active in promoting and funding research on vaccines aimed at dealing with coronavirus than Bill Gates and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. From sponsoring a simulation of a coronavirus global pandemic, just weeks before the Wuhan outbreak was announced, to funding numerous corporate efforts to come up with a novel vaccine for the apparently novel virus, the Gates presence is there. What does it actually entail?

Would a supporter of Israel really fill his foreign policy staff with those who hate the Jewish State?

By Robert Spencer, FPM Mon Apr 26, 2021

Just days after Joe Biden was inaugurated, pro-Erdogan Turkish journalist Hakk? Öcal, according to Ahval News, “highlighted a report on the strong presence of Jews in the cabinet of U.S. President Joe Biden.” The report claimed that there was an “over 50 percent Jewish presence in the new U.S. cabinet,” and pointed Secretary of State Antony Blinken and CIA Deputy Director David Cohen, among others. But Öcal was off base: among Biden’s handlers, Jewish and non-Jewish, there are few, if any, staunch friends of Israel. After just a few months in office, it was clear that Joe Biden’s handlers’ administration was shaping up to be the most anti-Israel presidency since the founding of the modern State of Israel.

Netanyahu initiated last month’s election to avoid implementing his coalition agreement with Gantz,but his bloc failed to obtain a majority in the new Knesset.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu gives a press conference with Health minister Yuli Edelstein (unseen) at the Prime Minister’s office in Jerusalem, on April 20, 2021.

In a dramatic turn of events, with his back to the wall, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered to let Defense Minister Benny Gantz go first in a rotation as prime minister, Blue and White Party officials said Sunday, confirming a Channel 12 report.

Netanyahu initiated last month’s election to avoid implementing his coalition agreement with Gantz, which required him to hand Gantz the premiership in November. But Netanyahu’s bloc failed to obtain a majority in the new Knesset, leaving him searching for options that could enable him at least to rotate as prime minister.

He’s one of the few academics who understands the absolute necessity for critical thinking and freedom of speech, and is willing to fight for them

A keen American observer of the human condition once described his rhetorical vocation as, “Standing off on the sidelines, viewing the various public escapades — political, cultural, social — and calling out with some regularity, ‘Bulls–t! Bulls–t! Bulls–t!’”

T. Belman.  When J-Street was created in about 2008, it proclaimed itself pro-Israel by redefining the term. It was created and financed by George Soros who wanted to counter the influence of AIPAC.  It purported to speak for American Jewry.  Thereafter the main stream media gave 4 times the coverage that it gave to AIPAC. This was the beginning of the cancel culture.

Obama also was responsible for ADL abandoning the fight against antisemitism and HIAS no longer serving Jewish interests.

NGO is lobbying to restrict US military aid to Israel and moving towards a ‘confederated state’ to replace Israel.

By DAVID M. WEINBERG, JISS

First in sorrow, then in anger, for years I have tracked J Street’s malignant metamorphosis from a “pro-Israel and pro-peace” organization into an anti-Israel mutant.

At its founding a dozen years ago, “pro-Israel and pro-peace” was taken to mean partnering with the mainstream Israeli political Left to build support in Washington for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians. Fair enough.

On April 19, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, one of Israel’s leading defense companies, and Group 42 (G42), a major technology company based in Abu Dhabi, announced the signing of an agreement to form a new joint venture.

This follows the signing of a strategic agreement between EDGE, an advanced technology group based in Abu Dhabi, with Israel Aerospace Industries to focus on counter-drone technology.

In March, Faisal Al Bannai, CEO and managing director of EDGE, said the agreement was “in line with the recent Abraham Accords and the UAE’s newly established cooperation and spirit of collaboration with Israel. EDGE and IAI are joining forces to deal with this growing threat.”

Friends and enemies abroad are becoming variously shocked, disheartened—and gleeful—as the United States cannibalizes itself.

By Victor Davis Hanson, AM GREATNESS

Any nation’s well-being—as Americans know from their own illustrious history—hinges on only a few factors. Its prosperity, freedom, and stability depend on its constitutional and political stability.

A secure currency and financial order are also essential, as is a strong military.

Perhaps most important, however, is a first-rate, inductive educational system. Of course, nothing is possible without general social calm, often dependent on a reverence for the past, along with present secure borders.
