Netanyahu: “I am working on options to keep nuclear weapons out of Iran’s hands”  

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convinced that one of the most important decisions of the upcoming election will be who leads the country against Iran. In an interview to Israel Hayom, he warns about the dangers of rejoining the 2015 nuclear deal and points to the next step in the country’s vaccination campaign: Children.

“We’ll be done with the vaccinations in March, the beginning of April. That’s for the adult population. Then “Then, vaccines for children will start arriving,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells Israel Hayom‘s political supplement in a special weekend interview.

“I assume that [regulators] will approve them in April and May, and we’ll receive them immediately after that. We are already in contact with two big companies. I’m personally in contact with their CEOs. Either it will be the same vaccine, or an adapted one. There will also be vaccines adapted to the different variants that are developing. We’re in negotiations for tens of millions of doses of vaccines,” Netanyahu says.

We recognize Haman. But where are Mordechai and Esther?  

The story of Purim illuminates the inescapable vulnerability to attack of diaspora Jews

By Melanie Phillips

The Feast of Esther; Johannes Spilberg the Younger, 1619-1690

This week’s festival of Purim provided Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with an irresistible analogy.

Purim celebrates the deliverance of the Jews of ancient Persia by Mordechai and Esther — two Jews who thwarted the genocidal intentions of the Persian prime minister Haman through their courage, daring and strategic genius.

The Biden administration is systematically erasing Trump  

By Andrea Widburg, AM THINIKER

Biden is undoing every single executive order Trump signed, regardless of whether a given order made sense or not. The goal isn’t to benefit America or Americans, it’s to destroy any vestige of Trump in the American government (and, as a pleasant byproduct, to replace the American population which a more malleable one).

The Victory Girls blog caught up with the seven executive orders that Biden signed on Wednesday. What’s noteworthy is how innocuous or pro-American the Trump executive orders were. It’s clear that, for the Democrats now in power, the substance of Trump’s executive orders is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is getting rid of them. This is the executive order equivalent of fumigation.

Kavanaugh and Barrett: John Roberts Retreads?  

By Rabbi Aryeh Spero, AM THINKER

[…]

First, the Roberts/Kavanaugh/ ACB trio did not agree to take the Texas case brought by the AGs of Texas and many other states, supported by 100 Congressional representatives, that logically asserted that the voters of their respective states had been disenfranchised by the illegalities of those states that had twisted their election laws to guarantee a national Democrat electoral victory, effectively nullifying a fair election result for those voting in other states. Yes, the reasoning may have been correct, but the trio, together with the pre-disposed liberals, said Texas had “No Standing.”

Israel and the US are on a Collision Course Over Iran  

by Victor Rosenthal 

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.

Ongoing Protests in Iran Foretell an Inevitable Uprising  

by Hamideh Taati, NATIONAL COUNCIL OF RESISTANCE IN IRAN  23rd February 2021

Iran, November 2019 uprisings

More than 20 Iranian cities witnessed retirees protests for the third consecutive week on Sunday. These protests, coupled with by those of other walks of life, foretell an inevitable uprising.

During their protests on Sunday, retirees and pensioners, who are grappling with poverty due to their low wages, targeted the regime’s inaction and institutionalized corruption by chanting slogans such as, “We are outraged by so much injustice,” and “enough of oppression and injustice, our tables are empty.”

Myth: Israel Is the Largest Beneficiary of US Military Aid  

By Prof. Hillel Frisch, BESA       February 10, 2017



US-Israel ‘Austere Challenge’ Exercise, IDF Blog, Flickr<

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 410, February 10, 2017

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Many American detractors of Israel begin by citing that Israel receives the lion’s share of US military aid. The very suggestion conjures the demon of an all-powerful Israel lobby that has turned the US Congress into its pawn. But these figures, while reflecting official direct US military aid, are almost meaningless in comparison to the real costs and benefits of US military aid – above all, American boots on the ground. In reality, Israel receives only a small fraction of American military aid, and most of that was spent in the US to the benefit of the American economy.

Israel’s red line: 1,000 precision missiles in Hezbollah’s hands  

Senior defense officials believe Israel must set clear red lines pertaining to Hezbollah’s precision weapons project. Others believe Israel should consider “exploiting the opportunity” of a limited escalation on the northern border to target Hezbollah’s precision capabilities.

“If Hezbollah crosses a quantitative or qualitative threshold for precision weapons, we will have to act against it. This is a serious decision, but one from which we cannot run away,” said Lt. Col. Eran Niv, the head of the IDF’s Warfare Methods and Innovation Division.

Is America’s “Greatest” Ally Teaming Up With China to SCREW America?  

T. Belman.  This article is very unfair to Israel aside from calling it a “parasitic culture”.  Israel is an independent state entitled to seek trade and alliances with whomever it wants just like any other independent state is.  It suggests that China has undue influence over Israel but fails to note that China has even more influence over the US.

Also, it is up to the US to protect its red lines by getting Israel to agree to them in advance.  Whenever Israel offends the US in some fashion, it is quick to toe the line when asked.. Yes, Israel is America’s greatest ally by far.

To give you an example of how extreme this author is, he writes “If U.S. leaders were smart, they would completely ban immigration from Israel and China, end all forms of military aid to Israel, and decouple from China’s economy.” This sentence is problematic on many levels. Military aid to Israel  is of huge benefit to America which America is not about to do without. Also the relationship between Silicon Valley and Tel Aviv is so beneficial to both, neither side will contemplate disrupting it.

America’s greatest ally. Right?

Not so fast.

According to a report by Breaking Defense, Israel refused a recent request by the American government to inspect a new port in the city of Haifa that China helped build. SIPG, a Chinese company, will operate this port for the next 25 years.
