The number of deaths in the country rose by 7 percent during 2020 compared to the years 2017-2019, taking into consideration population growth, the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies said in its report. However, considering the fact that the figures had been expected to decrease without the virus spread, the mortality rate actually rose by about 10%, according to study author Prof. Alex Weinreb.

“Although this is a significant increase, it is lower than the increase in other countries,” the statement said. It highlighted the situation in the United States, where mortality has gone up by 18%.

So said United Torah Judaism Yitzhak Pindrus, speaking Monday on a panel at a conference organized by the ITIM organization and Kipa website, when discussing  the case of the daughter of a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother who converts under the military’s auspices. He later apologized.

The army’s Nativ program, founded in 2001, is the only state-recognized conversion system in the country not controlled by the Chief Rabbinate. Hundreds of soldiers, most of them non-Jewish immigrants or descendants of immigrants from the former Soviet Union, enter the army’s conversion system each year.

An entrepreneur with an estimated net worth of more than $136 billion, Bill Gates founded Microsoft and technology; is deeply involved with the World Health Organization, which encompasses the world economy and world peace; the international Planned Parenthood Foundation, focusing on eugenics and population control; and the many facets of academia, all without the corresponding educational background. He is now prepared to control our food supply, the climate, and shoot for the sun.

Bill Gates is one of several non-academics who, notwithstanding, has been permitted to implement major changes in our education system in preparation for a federal takeover.  Promoted by President Obama’s administration, the schools now communicate a radical political ideology to produce workers for a global economy.  Had their intentions been honorable, they might well have reverted back to the older textbooks when the overhaul proved to be less than stellar, but it was progressing precisely according to plan.

The US “encourages” Israel to avoid unilateral steps that “exacerbate tensions and make it difficult to preserve the viability of a two-state solution,” US State Department spokesman Ned Price said Monday.

He went on to say “We intend to provide assistance that will benefit all Palestinians, including refugees. We are in the process of determining how to move forward on resuming all forms of that assistance consistent with US law,” and he also indicated that the Biden administration wants to craft a peace deal with Saudi Arabia and take the credit for it.  Pompeo said it was in the bag.

Biden, no doubt will screw it up.

It has been my opinion for years that the globalists want the the Arabs and the Jews to war for ever.  That’s why it had lasted for a century.  Perpetual conflict suited their purposes.  Trump made short shrift of that by negotiating the Abrahamic Accords.

You would think these Accords were like motherhood and apple pie. Who could not like them?

Now that the globalists are back in power, they are  showing their distain for motherhood and apple pie and the Accords.

Former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo just delivered a speech at the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement in which he pointed his finger at certain US and European officials who opposed progress on the Accords and the Palestinians who only benefit from perpetual conflict.

A class action lawsuit being set up under the aegis of thousands of lawyers worldwide behind the American-German lawyer Reiner Fuellmich, who is prosecuting those responsible for the Covid-19 scandal manipulated by the Davos Forum. Crimes against humanity are being alleged.

Therefore, an international network of business lawyers will plead the biggest tort case of all time, the Covid-19 fraud scandal, which has meanwhile turned into the biggest crime against humanity ever committed.

A Covid-19 commission of enquiry has been set up on the initiative of a group of German lawyers with the aim of bringing an international class action lawsuit using Anglo-Saxon law. Here is the summarized translation of the last communication of Dr. Fuellmich of 15/02/2021

“The hearings of around 100 internationally renowned scientists, doctors, economists and lawyers, which have been conducted by the Berlin Commission of Inquiry into the Covid-19 affair since 10.07.2020, have in the meantime shown with a probability close to certainty that the Covid- 19 scandal was at no time a health issue. Rather, it was about solidifying the illegitimate power (illegitimate because it was obtained by criminal methods) of the corrupt “Davos clique” by transferring the wealth of the people to the members of the Davos clique, destroying, among other things, small and medium-sized enterprises in particular. Platforms such as Amazon, Google, Uber, etc. could thus appropriate their market share and wealth.”

The Times of Israel published an excellent article discussing the decision. The NYT also weighed in.

Aryeh Deri, who heads the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, said this decision constitutes “a mortal blow to the Jewish character of the state” and the “complete demolition of the status quo [on religious affairs in Israel] that has been upheld for over 70 years.”. This decision will reverberate in the current elections. Both UTJ and Shas have vowed not to serve in a coalition that doesn’t commit to reversing this decision.

This ruling only applies to conversions in Israel. A previous court decision forced the state to recognize non-Orthodox conversions abroad for purposes of immigration, but not those performed in the country.

Emigrate to Israel through the Law of Return, makes you an Israeli citizen but not a Jew.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Biden administration’s publication of a US intelligence report that holds Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman responsible for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi creates a fundamental challenge to the kingdom’s geopolitical ambitions.

The options available to Saudi Arabia (and the United Arab Emirates) are limited by the fact that they cannot fully replace the United States as a mainstay of their defense as well as their quest for regional hegemony, even if the report revives perceptions of the United States as unreliable and at odds with their policies.

Biden’s recalibration of Saudi Arabian ties betokens disaster for the US and the west

President Putin and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the Kremlin, 2017

America’s former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has denounced as a “reckless” move and “political stunt” the Biden administration’s release at the weekend of a declassified report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence implicating the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, in the killing of the Saudi writer, Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

The release was also, on the face of it, a perplexing move. After all, the report is not only three years old but is a mere four pages long, with a lot of white space and a proportion devoted merely to a list of names of those it says were involved in the Khashoggi killing. To call it a report is to dignify what is in reality no more than a cursory note.

Joe Biden has been in office for about a month. I have my doubts about the degree to which Joe himself is running things, but because he has always bent pragmatically to the winds of political (and perhaps personal) advantage, it’s not really important. Someone is making policy, in particular policy that concerns Israel. The course set by the Biden Administration appears to be almost 180 degrees from that taken by Donald Trump, and promises to bring back the sharp disagreements between the two nations that characterized the Obama period. He has already brought back most of the same people.

There are two main areas with which Israel must be concerned: the Palestinian and Iranian arenas. The Palestinian question seems to be on the back burner now, perhaps because everyone realizes that no solution is likely. But the Iranian desk is buzzing with activity. Obama’s people had four years to lick their wounds and plan for a rematch. Now their time has come, and they are moving swiftly.

A B-52 Stratofortress, flown by Capt. Will Byers and Maj. Tom Aranda, prepares for refueling over Afghanistan.

For the third time in 2021, the US recently flew B-52 bombers along the Iranian coast, in what The Wall Street Journal called “a show of the deterrence (to) reassure allies in the region.”

Unfortunately, both the supreme leader of Iran and America’s regional allies know this is more show than a serious threat. They know US military options under Biden are far off the table, as his administration has repeatedly telegraphed its intention to allow Iran to rejoin the nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, by merely returning to compliance with the flawed 2015 deal, without demanding any significant changes, despite Iran’s egregious behavior over the last five years.

The administration refuses to acknowledge that Iran desperately wants to rejoin a deal that was skewed in its favor. It will relieve the Iranians’ financial predicament, solidify the regime’s repressive grip on its people, while allowing the pathway to nuclear weapons capabilities the JCPOA granted over time. The administration’s analysis is that unless America enables Iran to return to the original deal, hardliners may be victorious in this year’s Iranian election, marching more quickly to a nuclear weapon. This completely misreads the situation. As Alexander Grinberg of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security wrote, there is no difference between so called “moderates” and hardliners; both want to return to the deal. The only difference is their tactics to do it.

THIS IS A GREAT SPEECH

Kristi Noem, CPAC superstar

At the CPAC conference of conservative activists, quite a few stars of the GOP have come out to shine. Compared to the Democrats, conservatives have a surfeit.

One stood out yesterday, Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota, under whose leadership, her state came out among the best on the COVID response.

Looking like a million bucks, she spoke of freedom, constitutionality, liberty, state’s rights, fiscal discipline, and cited the facts and figures of her gubernatorial record.

T. Belman. Kashoggi was a Muslim Brotherhood operative. The MB are actively trying to overthrow the monarchy in Saudi Arabia. That’s why it has been banned from the Gulf States. The Biden/Obama administration backs the MB and Iran, all enemies of Saudi Arabia. Thus by Biden releasing this tainted report he is showing himself to be an enemy of Saudi Arabia. Since Saudi Arabia is now Israel’s ally, that offers further proof that Biden is an enemy of Israel too.

By the way, the world headquarters of the MGB is located in Jordan. That’s one of the reasons King Abdullah of Jordan will be overthrown.

Pinning the death of Jamal Khashoggi on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is important to those who want to return to the Obama era alignment of the US with Iran, not Saudi Arabia, as our principal relationship with the Middle East Muslim world.  MbS, as he is known, is a committed modernizer, favorable to warming relations with Israel. Damaging his global standing with the tar of culpability for the killing and dismemberment of Khashoggi could even lead to his fall from the pinnacle of power in Riyadh.

Caroline Glick explains who Khashoggi really was, not an actual “journalist” or “columnist” for the Washington Post (he was a non-salaried contributor of op-eds that were published from time to time):

“The Biden administration is deeply hostile to Israel.”

By Caroline Glick, FPM

Mark Levin, the conservative Jewish American radio broadcaster with more than 14 million daily listeners, has a gloomy forecast for the future of American media coverage of the United States, of Israel and of ties between the two countries.

Ahead of the launch of the Hebrew-language edition of his bestselling book, Unfreedom of the Press, Levin tells Israel Hayom that to understand the nature and depth of the danger that the U.S. media poses to democracy in America, you have to understand the way that the U.S. media treats Israel.

“I think the American people — forget about the elites — I think the American people and the Israeli people have such a connection, and such a love for each other,” he says.
