The Supreme Court ruling,  is narrow in scope: It applies only to Jews who have converted under non-Orthodox auspices within Israel’s borders, which encompasses a small number of people. Still, haredi politicians and leaders have fulminated against it.

Resistance to the ruling dovetails with another hot-button political issue in Israel: the status of African illegal immigrants in Israel, a population of roughly 30,000.

Shas,  “thousands of infiltrators and foreign workers will become Jewish through Reform conversion.”

March 9, 2021 / JNS) This year, Christians United for Israel, one of the most powerful voices for Israel in the United States, marked its 15th anniversary.

“We could never have imagined CUFI would achieve so much, so quickly. But God has blessed us because we are fulfilling our biblical mandate to stand with Israel and His Chosen people,” Pastor John Hagee, founder and chairman of CUFI, told JNS. “This said, I noted when we launched CUFI that there was a sleeping giant of Christian Zionism in this country. That giant has now been awakened. When millions of people share a passion for Israel, great things are possible.”

T. Belman.  Not mentioned here is that Biden removed the Houtis from the terror list and told SA to stop its offense.  I think the best option for the Saudis is to align with Israel and reject Biden’s advice. My money is on Saudi Arabia embracing Israel more openly.  In addition as the split between Israel and Saudi Arabia on the one hand and Biden on the other, Russia is getting ready to fill the void. Russia has good relations with all the Arab States and with Israel.  And Russia can use their veto should Biden try to threated Israel with not using it.

Former US President Obama’s push to appease Iran propelled the Arabs into the arms of the Jewish state. There may be limits, however, to how far the Saudis may embrace Israel.

President Joe Biden’s foreign-policy team has talked a lot about re-emphasizing diplomacy and re-engaging with allies after what they claim was the trashing of old friends during the presidency of Donald Trump. But that doesn’t appear to include America’s two most important allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The Israelis have been reassured that Biden still regards their security as important and that any disputes between the two countries will be handled behind the scenes, rather than highlighted in an effort to achieve more “daylight” between the two allies, as was the case with the former President Barack Obama. Still, Israelis know that the closeness that existed between them and the Trump administration is a thing of the past.

A Tel Aviv-based nonprofit has launched the first of several missions to help poor countries build their COVID-19 vaccination program, drawing on Israel’s success.

A seven-member team from IsraAID landed in the small African state of Eswatini on Monday for a two-week visit. The delegation was invited by the government of the country, formerly known as Swaziland, which has vaccines in the pipeline and wanted help with logistics and public education ahead of the rollout.

Biden said Washington would continue to help Saudi Arabia defend itself.

T. Belman

Defense alone will not solve the problem.  Even a ceasefire is doubtful as it would solidify the control of the Houthis over most of Yemen which is an outcome the Saudis can’t abide. The fact that Iran is behind it and is angling for nuclear weapons further complicates it.

“DUBAI (Reuters) – The United States on Monday expressed alarm at “genuine security threats” to Saudi Arabia from Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis and elsewhere in the region after attacks on the heart of the Saudi oil industry, and it would look at improving support for Saudi defences.

Earlier in the day, the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh said Washington was committed to defending Saudi following Sunday’s volley of drones and missiles, including one aimed at a Saudi facility vital to oil exports. Read more…

T. Belman. This is the first time I posted a podcast from The National Pulse. I did so because the conversation was so articulate and informative.

Raheem Kassam opens with a few moments of commentary about Meghan Markle, but don’t worry, we then go on to discussing how D.C. came to be wholly owned by foreign governments and their retained firms. Finally, learn about the new refugee quotas Democrats want to hold all future presidents to. (Ft Adam Kredo/Natalie Winters)

Dr. Paula Caplan, an amazing feminist psychologist, author, and activist in her own right, insisted on interviewing me at the Association for Women in Psychology’s annual meeting which was held on March 5-7, 2021. AWP is an organization that I co-founded in 1969. We pre-recorded this interview. It covered the waterfront. Dr. Paula managed to capture the depth and breadth of my work with ease and humor. I think you’ll enjoy listening to this 50 minute walk down a pioneer’s progress. HERE it is.

The shockingly lenient treatment of FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who lied to a federal judge in order to keep spying on Carter Page, has led many of us to despair that justice will never be done in the greatest political scandal in American history, the use of the FBI and intelligence community resources to spy on the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, and to bring him down once elected. But John Solomon, the journalist who has broken more stories on the scandal than anyone else I can think of, offered a ray of hope yesterday in an interview with Maria Bartiromo on her weekly must-see Fox News Channel show, Sunday Morning Futures.

Rulers of Saudi Arabia have been exporting their anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and anti-Western beliefs around the world for decades, but Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman seems to hold none of those views and is reigning in extremists.

By  Mitchell Bard, jns<

The anger towards Saudi Arabia over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi may lead to a catastrophic strategic error. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman may be ruthless, but he is still preferable to the alternatives in Saudi Arabia. This is not to say US policy towards Saudi Arabia should not change, but that we do not want another Saudi leader who undermines our interests and exports Islamic radicalism around the world.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The vast, uninterrupted territory that contains North Korea, China, Pakistan, and Iran has greater geostrategic importance today than ever before. Of the two outermost countries of that territory, an anonymous senior US administration official recently said that “Iran and North Korea have resumed cooperation in the framework of a project on long-range missiles that includes the transfer of core components.”

On September 8, 2020, a meeting took place between Chairman of National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian Parliament Mojtaba Zolnouri and North Korean Ambassador to Iran Han Sung-joo. The meeting was held to discuss the launch of financial and barter networks between the two countries. US Special Representative for Iran and Venezuela Elliott Abrams responded by saying, “We are very concerned about Iran‘s cooperation with North Korea. …We will be watching the cooperation with North Korea very carefully and doing what we can to prevent it.”
