T. Belman. Did anyone have any doubt. Biden isn’t about to prevent Iran from getting the bomb. Not only will he lift U.S. sanctions but he will give them money and say he is sorry. But for Israel, Iran is calling the shots.

THIS MEANS WAR.

According to information received by Israel, the six world powers will not require Iran to destroy the new advanced centrifuges it has built, rather just disconnect them.

Unnamed Israeli diplomats over the weekend unofficially expressed disappointment over what they called “complete American capitulation” in nuclear talks with Iran in Vienna. Learning the lessons from the Obama administration’s clashes with Israel in 2015, the Biden administration is trying to avoid any surprises and is keeping Israel abreast of developments. With that, the two allies remain at considerable odds over Iran and its nuclear ambitions.

“FES Southern Perspective”

In this study Dr. Ehud Eran analyses the reasons of the dramatic shift the Eastern Mediterranean emerged in Israeli strategic thinking in the last decade. While traditionally Israel did not view the region as an essential strategic arena, nowadays it became significant for Israeli strategy and activity.

There are two interrelated pillars for this development:

1. the discovery of natural gas at the seabed by Israel and
2. an alliance with Greece and Cyprus.

This Israeli-Hellenic Alliance is a possible framework to contain Turkey’s growing efforts to project power and influence in the region.

In the 18th Apr 21 edition of Israel’s good news, the highlights include:

• 3 Israeli research breakthroughs into cancer, aging and obesity.
• NASA names two asteroids after their Israeli-Arab student discoverer.
• Japan praises Israel for its help on the 10th anniversary of the tsunami.
• A hi-tech Israeli competitor to zoom.
• Investment in Israeli startups breaks three all-time records.
• Israelis once again were able to properly celebrate the nation’s birthday.

So far, documented COVID-19 variants are in the U.K., Brazil, South Africa, and Northern California, and I am sure there are others in India and China.  So COVID-19 is behaving much like the flu with mutations to new forms going on all the time.

Influenza or flu types A and B cause yearly epidemics, and there are over 60 kinds of known flu viruses.  Type A and B undergo seasonal changes almost every year.  To vaccinate yourself against the flu every year is a waste of time for most since there are just too many mutations, which change every year, and the flu is not deadly for most.

If Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fails to form a government by the end of his allotted mandate period, the so-called change bloc of opposition parties will seek to persuade President Reuven Rivlin to give the mandate to Yamina leader Naftali Bennett, Channel 13 reported on Friday.Sources in the bloc, who have vowed not to join forces with Netanyahu, told the network they feared that if Rivlin does not give the opposition a chance and sends the mandate back to the Knesset, it will become impossible to reach a consensus.

The Arizona Senate, which is controlled by Republicans, is ready to start a major audit of 2.1 million ballots for the 2020 presidential election, with the recount will be done by hand this time.

The state Senate said in March they would be conducting a “broad and detailed” audit, adding that they will test voting machines, scan ballots, look for IT breaches, and perform a hand count.

New study shows religious Israelis believe the country must be more demonstratively Jewish in the public sphere, rely more on Jewish law and put Jewish values before universal ones – and the secular public disagrees

By Kobi Nahshoni, YNET NEWS

Jewish Israelis for the most part, say their country must be Jewish and democratic, but disagree on what such a country should look like.

A recent study published for Independence Day reveals significant differences in opinion over the country’s identity today and the aspirations for its future.

Nearly all Jewish Israelis (98%) say they want the country to have a Jewish identity and most (88%) think a Jewish majority is the key to maintaining it. Most also agree that Jewish culture should be advanced, and that Israel has the responsibility for the Jews in the Diaspora.

A vessel stuck in the Suez Canal disrupted the global supply chain. Israel has long talked about offering shippers a Red Sea-Mediterranean rail link, but neither the economics nor the politics look promising

Back in 2012, the cabinet voted to construct a railway line to Eilat that would provide passenger and freight service. But subsequent studies showed that the project isn’t economically feasible and it seems that it’s been shelved.

But this week, the railway started looking like a good idea. A giant cargo vessel wedged between two banks of the Suez Canal brought traffic there to a standstill for close to a week, threatening to disrupt the global supply chain.

Russia continues to build up troops and flex its muscles on the borders with Ukraine. Despite harsh fear-mongering rhetoric in the global mainstream media, US officials seem to be quite aware that any Russian invasion of its neighbor, at least at this point, seems very improbable.

T. Belman.  Strength comes from unity, not diversity.  Diversity undermines patriotism and is divisive.

By John Green, AM THINKER

When I was young, Americans prided themselves in being part of the “great melting pot” — good times.  People from diverse cultures throughout the world could come here and become full-fledged Americans.  Our constitution provided a framework for anyone to become successful.  All that was required was determination and hard work.  In achieving the American dream, our forefathers shed their ancestral heritages and became enthusiastic Americans — and that was something to be proud of.  But we don’t melt anymore.  Now we categorize.  I blame it on the diversity movement.

While it looks like no one of note will be held accountable for perpetuating the hoax that was the Trump-Russia investigation, the Biden administration still looks to be seeking revenge. Kash Patel, the man who blew open the FBI’s spying scheme, is now the subject of a criminal leak case involving classified information. Yes, the same DOJ and FBI, that decided Hillary did nothing wrong and couldn’t investigate a leak to save their lives during the Trump era, is now deeply concerned that Patel may have broken the law. I know, try not to laugh.

We are now in a crisis of American civilization fully as dangerous and real as the crisis of the Civil War or World War II.

During both those crises, if America had lost, it would have ceased to be America—and the cause of freedom around the world would have been dramatically weakened.

Today, we face combined internal and external threats that are as great or greater.
