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.

Almost everything you are being told to believe by the mainstream media is a lie.

The legacy media has long since chosen sides and will brazenly cover up anything that could reflect poorly on Democrats, yet will assiduously traffic in any and all innuendo, hearsay, and slander that they feel will harm Republicans/conservatives/Trump supporters. They gleefully promulgate prevarication in their unending quest to damage Democrats’ political opponents.

Hatred-addled late night television hosts compete to see who can spout the most ignorant inanities. Colleges and universities no longer care about providing their students a well-rounded, classical education. They care only of indoctrinating them into the anti-West, anti-capitalist, anti-Christian ideology of multiculturalism and Critical Race Theory, or CRT.

Big, multinational corporations now reflexively parrot the false rot emanating from Big Academia. And Big Tech now silences, stifles and cancels anyone who believes in the founding principles of the United States, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights. Together they have become the Father of Lies. Don’t believe them

The ideological insanity that has seized the Left in western countries can be clearly seen in its approach to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization and its satellites around the world. Because this group is being hounded by most Arab regimes and has been forced to export its activity to Europe and the US, among other places, where it can create the image of a “persecuted political victim,” the religious fanatic Muslim Brotherhood organization has managed to join left-wing parties as a legitimate partner in the discourse about “the global” struggle “to promote welfare and democracy.”

The Muslim Brotherhood are selling themselves as a “popular” alternative to existing regimes throughout the Middle East, as the true representatives of the people, as a promise for change and freedom. But anyone who really wants to know what happens when the Muslim Brotherhood gain power can learn from the destruction of Turkey’s democracy by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan; from Hamas’ reign of terror in the Gaza Strip, and the insanity from which Egypt was rescued when its military ousted former President Mohamed Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood representative.  […]

[..] Two weeks later, U.S. and Israeli military forces conducted joint training to prepare for both “unprecedented missile attacks from Gaza, Lebanon, and even Syria and Iran” against Israel and possible “use of cruise missiles and suicide drones from western Iraq and Yemen.” From there, Iran could use proxies to strike Israel. The Israeli news site N12 noted that Brig. Gen. Ran Kochav, head of the air force’s air-defense program, said the exercise—with an upgraded Iron Dome anti-missile system—met its goals. Now “the operational test is in front of us.”

Massively rearmed by Iran, in violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, Hezbollah now reportedly can launch 4,000 more accurate missiles at Israeli civilian and military targets every day.

In 2006, IDF planes averaged 100 targets daily in Lebanon. This February’s exercise simulated more than 3,000 strikes each day.

[..] The geopolitics in the Middle East transformed significantly in the past decade. The rise of Iran and the decline of Arab powers changed the landscape and led to closer ties between Israel and the Arab world. Talks and contacts between Israel and Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain became widely noticed. In the second half of 2020, the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco normalized their ties with Israel. Both Israel and the Gulf Arab states share their concerns and worries towards Iran’s regional influence, and Iran’s rising power becomes a major driving force for the formation of a regional alliance between Israel and some Gulf Arab states.

Another driving force for forming the alliance is the U.S.’s Middle East policy. Joe Biden’s Middle East policies have led to worries and dissatisfaction from Israel and some Gulf Arab states. They perceive Biden’s hope to contact Iran and lift sanctions against the country imposed by the former Trump administration as U.S. concessions to Iran.

Meanwhile, Washington’s criticism over Saudi Arabia’s and the UAE’s intervention in Yemen’s civil war and investigations of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s role in Jamal Khashoggi’s death in 2018 provoked worries from the two countries. Therefore, there’s a stronger desire of Israel and the Gulf Arab states to form an alliance.

Yamina chairman: I have no problem with Lapid being in a government headed by the national camp. I do not disqualify Sa’ar.

ARUTZ SHEVA

Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett clarified in an interview with Channel 12’s Ofira & Bercovic show that he does not rule out forming a coalition with Yair Lapid.”I will replace Netanyahu in a government headed by the national camp. I have no problem with Lapid being in the government,” he said.

Bennett was asked if he would have any problems being in a coalition in which Gideon Sa’ar serves as Prime Minister and replied, “I am not going to disqualify him, I am not concerned about the position but rather about the direction of the government. I am going to use the power I have to replace Netanyahu, but I am not transferring power to the left. There are 80 seats on the right, the fight is within the national camp and not a fight between the ‘only Bibi’ cult and the ‘anyone but Bibi’ cult.”

PART I

Welcome to the second episode of this special series. This is the second part of a six-episode series investigating and exploring with you together with the rise of communism in the United States and the western world. In this episode, we will focus on two aspects that are being fully subverted, Family and the Education system. It is through these two aspects that are closest to the American family that is now, corrupting the humanity of people in the US.

by Erielle Davidson and Lieutenant General Jon Davis, USMC (ret.), The Global Post – February 26, 2021

Sudan announced last month that it had signed an agreement with the United States to initiate the process of normalizing relations with Israel. Despite fears of domestic pushback, normalization with the Jewish state is in the best interests of Sudan, Israel, and the world at large.

The deal was accompanied by a “memorandum of understanding,” which facilitates the US paying down the struggling country’s debt to the World Bank in an effort to kickstart Sudan’s economy.

As a result of the memorandum, Sudan now will be eligible to collect $1 billion annually from the World Bank for the first time in almost 30 years.

The Oklahoma House of Representatives on Thursday approved legislation that would limit the power of President Joe Biden’s executive orders in the state.

HB 1236 would allow the state Legislature to review each executive order to determine whether the Oklahoma attorney general should decide if it is constitutional.

If the attorney general decides not to take action on the order, the Legislature could declare it unconstitutional with a majority vote.
