Trump Acts as Qatar’s (Saudi Arabia’s, Too) Sword/Shield; Coddles Blood-Thirsty Islamic Jihadis!

What the Hell is Going On!?! …. PART ONE

FIRST things first: this investigative journalist and Islamic Jihadi expert is never too proud to admit: mea culpa! Effectively, when the truth smacks upside the head, well, as adults often tell  youngsters when caught laying the blame at another’s feet for their misdeeds: “own it.”

ADMITTEDLY, six ways to Sunday, Trump enjoys full support at this end. Now, between commie/anti-American Harris and the DemonRats, incontestably, he is the uneqivocal MAGA choice. But in no way, shape, or form does said backing equate to turning deaf, dumb, and blind to the gravest error, bar none, when it involves cozying up to Qatari/Saudi Arabia Jihadi dictators –  Sunni counterparts to Iran’s Shia bloodthirsty theocratic killers.

INDEED, as is known: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is an apropos truism when it comes to the centuries-long hegemonic struggle between Sunni/Shia Islam. Intrinsically, they always lock- arms when their murderous plots are designed against America, “the Big Satan”, as well as Israel, “the Little Satan.” No amount of Allah-washing will change this deadly/diabolical fact. Full stop.

MOREOVER, apologists are reliably keen to excuse the inexcusable – most of whom understand less than a thimble’s worth about Islam, let alone the Koranic dictates that drive the unquenchable bloodlust coursing through the Islamic world……https://adinakutnicki.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/islam_and_blood.pdf. Alas, par for the deadly course, they are jumping aboard the expected bugaboo:  the so-called necessity of Al Udeid Airport, southwest of Doha, as a mandatory price to pay with stone-cold Islamic Jihadis! Know this: utter, unmitigated hogwash.

AS a matter of fact, since 1991, this forward base for the U.S. (and others) is a mega coup for Qatari interests, and not the other way around. Effectively, Qatar and the rest of the theocratic regimes would cease to exist, but for the aforementioned protection racket. Tragic, but true. Thus, the urgent question vis-a-vis American interests, as well as Israel’s, yes, the only true and reliable friend in the region, becomes: what the hell is going on with Trump & Co. to extend them even more shield and cover? Wait and see.

Mark Levin Fumes Over Trump’s Chummy Tour of the Arab World, Citing 9/11: ‘These Are Terrorists’

Fox News host Mark Levin is NOT pleased with President Donald Trump’s current diplomatic tour of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which, given his history of reflexive pro-Trump rhetoric, is notable.

Trump spoke to the Saudi Royal family and other very important global business leaders during a remarkably convivial economic investment confab on Tuesday that ended on the same note as most of his political rallies: with The Village People blaring the gay disco anthem YMCA. Trump later flew to Doha, Qatar, for more meetings aimed at securing Middle Eastern investment in the American economy, despite serious concerns about human rights abuses on the part of the would-be investors.

But, without mentioning President Trump by name, Levin was remarkably critical of the commander-in-chief, taking to social media to blast Saudi Arabia for playing a “significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of our people.” He also condemned Qatar for having “protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people.”

Levin posted on X:

Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of our people. I didn’t hear their Crown Prince even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us. And I know the 9/11 families are reeling from this.

And Qatar protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people. The debate about whether the plane is a legal gift is beside the point. Qatar is a terrorist regime that has murdered Americans.

I cannot let bygones be bygones and those Americans who suffered the consequences of what these monarchies did cannot either. I can’t stop thinking about all the innocent people who went to work that day, and were on those planes, and all the firefighters and police officers who died horrible deaths.

As for Iran, if they get a nuclear weapon that’s on our generation. And our country will suffer the horrible consequences. These are terrorists. They don’t think like us and they don’t love life like us. We must have the guts and wisdom to protect ourselves.

In a separate post, Levin praised Trump, but not without dinging him for using “lines used by the Soros-Koch isolationist crowd about neocons and interventionists” in his speech to the Saudis. Levin linked to a Jewish Insider article about the speech and noted via X:

Isolationism or globalism? Or both?

Actually, POTUS’s speech included some of the lines used by the Soros-Koch isolationist crowd about neocons and interventionists, but the irony is that it was given in the context of a globalist outreach effort to make economic and military deals with and between Middle East monarchies/dictatorships and the biggest of America’s globalists/internationalists/corporatists. We don’t know the details but if they’re great deals for we, the people, that’s wonderful. I truly believe the President is THE best at making GREAT deals. Nonetheless, this looks like globalism wrapped in isolationist language.

ADDITIONALLY, a second notable voice chimes in, the executive editor of Commentary Magazine.

The Qatar Lobby Is Exactly What the Israel Lobby Never Was 

By Abe Greenwald

When visiting several struggling U.S.-allied countries, I’ve been approached by well-meaning, pro-Israel officials and foreign-policy thinkers who ask me some version of the question: “How do we get an ‘Israel lobby’ of our own?” And each time, I’ve explained: You don’t. Because the Israel lobby isn’t what you think it is. First, the supposed money and power of the Israel lobby is wildly exaggerated by anti-Semites. Second, the American connection to Israel is unique. Its roots are deep and complicated. 

The affinity between the two nations goes back to the Founding of the U.S., our self-conception as a New Jerusalem, and our destiny as a beacon of God-given liberty. That feeling has grown and spread and been bolstered by the many bilateral ties and shared interests between the U.S. and the modern State of Israel. Pro-Israel organizations and networks in the U.S. aren’t buying political favors; they’re strengthening the longstanding and wide-ranging organic links between America and the Jewish state. That’s impossible for another country to recreate. 

It turns out, what these people really wanted to know was how to create their own version of a Qatar lobby. An explosive and insightful article by Frannie Block and Jay Solomon at the Free Press reveals that Qatar has done exactly what Israel has long been accused of doing. It’s paid nearly $100 billion to purchase American power and permission, and it has ingrained itself in American media, energy, real estate, education, foreign policy, and more. As a result, it’s getting its way.

To say there’s no organic connection between the U.S. and Qatar doesn’t suffice. We’re a democratic republic, they’re a dynastic kingdom. We believe in liberty, they’re theocratic slaveowners. We strive to maintain global security, they menace our allies, finance Islamist terrorism all over the Muslim world, and provide terrorists safe haven inside Qatar. To be sure, it’s been costly to smooth over all this dissonance and get Washington to look the other way. Which is why, according to the piece, “Qatar spent three times more in the U.S. than Israel did on lobbyists, public-relations advisers, and other foreign agents in 2021.” That’s just one year. In total, it’s worked. We’ve been bought by the enemy. 

Anti-Semitic paranoiacs claim that the Israel lobby has shut down criticism of Israel in the U.S. Meanwhile members of Congress talk about “evil” Israel pulling the strings of American policymakers, and seas of protesters flow through the streets calling for Israel’s destruction. 

Qatar, on the other hand, has successfully tamped down unwanted criticism. It bought off one of its most vocal critics, Republican adviser Elliott Broidy, for more than $150 million. Think about what the Qataris have spent on people you’ve heard of. And Qatar has purchased the acquiescence of many others, Republicans and Democrats, with investment contracts and campaign donations.  The article reveals that after one university professor denounced Qatari terrorist support, he received a reprimand from a “very senior” Pentagon official who told him that such criticism “endangers” the Al Udeid Air Base, a massive U.S. military facility built in and paid for by Qatar. Yet Al Udeid itself endangers American security. As Block and Solomon report, “maintaining the air base in Qatar comes with a significant string attached: The Gulf monarchy has said it would oppose military strikes on Iran from its soil.” So Qatar has a say in critical U.S. military policy. 

There’s so much more. From grade schools (over $1million paid to the New York Department of Education in three years) to the presidency (the airplane, the resort deal, and beyond), Qatar has bribed its way into vital American institutions. One result is this: When you see students, media personalities, politicians denouncing the nefarious Israel lobby, you’re watching what the Qatar lobby has paid for. And if you’re parroting those voices, it’s purchased you as well. 

Abe Greenwald is the executive editor of COMMENTARY.

INEXORABLY, now that we have heard from two inestimable, well-known figures who are equally outraged at Trump’s mind-numbing prostration/cowing/bowing/scraping before the worst of the worst, the below deep-dive into Qatar (by extension, Saudi Arabia’s full-throated participation in 9/11/01, alongside Qatar/Iran/Iraq, et al.) was commissioned years ago by the highest qualified counter-terrorism colleagues, who, understandably, must remain anonymous.

ONCE imbibed and thoroughly digested, well, no one (Trump apologists, most pointedly) should dare to be shocked….shocked…..when a succession of “sleeper cells” (identified herein in 2012 and onward) across America explode on command. As always, forewarned is forearmed.

FIRE JIHAD Consumes Israel, Again…..Israel’s Poohbahs Terrified to Connect the Dots

Posted on by
Reply

King Solomon, a giant among Judaism’s wisest sages, intoned:
                    “There is nothing new under the sun.” 
Truer words never spoken.
 
It is this timeless and munificent advice which one should expect that the leader(s) of the Jewish Homeland must abide by – most especially, during war-time. Tragically, this is far from the case. In all honestly, it rarely is.
 
It is the above truism which immediately veers into sharp focus, that is, as the Jewish homeland, literally, once again, is consumed by wildfires!
 
In this respect, first and foremost, let us stop pussy-footing around and call it what it is: FIRE JIHAD! 
 
Now that that is established, a brief historical look-back is a mandatory lesson learned to discern its elemental, yes, firey basis. Yes, Jerusalem grand mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini (1897-1974) the cousin of Arafat, the godfather of modern-day Islamic terrorism, was a direct collaborator with Hitler. Tragically, history attests to the fact that the aforementioned genocidal murderer utilized crematoriums to extinguish over six million of world Jewry! By extrapolation, FIRE JIHAD (via a growing segment of Islam’s devotees) is a direct knock-on effect of yesteryear’s genocidal Jew-haters. Indeed, past should always be considered prologue.
 
As such, this investigative journalist can cite a myriad of said incendiary evidentiary trails, but let’s leave that aside for another analysis. Instead, the following personal attestation must suffice.
 
Back in November 2016, when Haifa’s ridges were on fire and burning to the ground, with immediate family in tow, we (in tandem with many thousands) fled our homes –  with only the clothes on our backs and with one backpack to spare. Unless, and until, one experiences such a “man-made” disaster, well, it is impossible to internalize.
 
Alas, when the embers died down, an all-clear signal was emitted to return home – or to what was left of it.
 
With breathing masks in place, one neighborhood at a time was allowed to repopulate; with trauma upon trauma unfolding in many households. At this end, there was hardly any time for processing, so to speak.
 
Invariably, as soon as possible, this eye-witness and jihadi terrorism expert was expected to weigh in – since noted counter-terrorism associates (in Israel and the U.S.) kept in close contact inquiring re their colleague’s welfare – as they awaited a comprehensive report on the whys and the wherefores of what really went down, trenchantly, sans any media jive-talk.
 
As stated, since “there is nothing new under the sun”, several proprietary reports (dated Dec. 2016) were commissioned by appropriate Mid-East policy centers. For the general public, the following lays bare much-needed disinfectant, and is no less intrinsic today as it was almost a decade ago.
 
 
Relative to jihadi terror, it must be noted that Allah’s Muslim Terrorists are adept at waging jihad by arson, and on a yearly basis. Specifically, they honed this terror tactic back in 2010. Who recalls the devastating wreckage from Haifa’s Carmel region forest fires? If not, time to catch up to speed!
 
In this regard, how believable is it that said internal security forces had no clue as to the internal fifth column’s plans to wage a COORDINATED intifada via jihadi arson, and on a scale heretofore unseen in Israel’s history? Come on….

Not only that, unarguably, plans to use a WMD – yes, indubitably, arson on a mass scale is a weapon of mass destruction – to burn down Israel is hardly something that a hard-charging security agency would miss. This is especially the case in a country that it is not that much bigger than New Jersey, the 5th smallest state in the U.S. Extrapolating further, if their U.S. counterpart, the FBI, only had New Jersey (or a similar sized state) to guard over, would anyone believe that their agents failed to hear whispers relative to said fiery plot, even within the lowest level of chatter? Hogwash.

And if proof of the same is required as to how adept, creative and agile they are, how many know that their agents get wind of every fart that Jewish nationalists make – regardless of their locale in Israel – in so far as when they assert their righteous claims, birthright, to the so-called “settlements” in Judea and Samaria? Believe it.

Mind you, this is not to suggest that Israel’s security agency ignored said “chatter” from orders at the tippy top. Not at all. But it is not for nothing that some birdies within these pages – those who operate within the deepest underbelly of the national landscape – have suggested that murmurs, suspicions, or what not went in one ear and out the other. As to why, well, there is speculation, most of which revolves around leftist and Arabist-bent agents who are not exactly operating in Jewish nationalist interests. Cogitate.

And while some feathers will surely be ruffled with this and that line of disinfectant, so be it. Even so, and in no uncertain terms, the fire services, IDF, police and attendant agencies worked heroically to save lives and stamp out the wildfires. Kudos to one and all.

As to Israel’s domestic jihadists – in line with PA/Hamas brethren – they understand that they haven’t a prayer in Allah’s fiery hell to win a conventional war against Israel. Therefore, they hurtle from one method of terror to another, hoping to cause as many Jewish deaths and destruction as possible. So as they jump from knife-jihad, to stabbings, to car-jihad, onto shootings, bombings, and lobbing rockets in between, lo and behold, they have now reached their peak via an arson intifada! 

Homes were evacuated in one residential neighborhood after another Thursday, Nov. 24, 2016 ahead of the huge flames and thick smoke enveloping Israel’s third city, Haifa, three days after hundreds of wildfires, most caused by arsonists, began spreading across the country.  At least 100 people suffered injuries in Haifa, most from smoke inhalation, and dozens of shock victims were taken to hospital. Haifa University and the Technion was cleared and closed. as flames consumed buildings around the campuses. The Damon and Carmel prisons are being evacuated. Efforts were made with volunteers to help inmates of nursing homes and hospitals to safety…..

The Israeli government was called into emergency session Thursday night, as the fires continued to blaze out of control, whipped up by dry winds which are forecast to last another six days.

Five Palestinians were detained on suspicion of arson. A contraption used by arsonists was discovered at the scene of one of the fires. The Shin Bet and fire brigade’s investigators have gone into action to put a stop to the wave of arson attacks, which are encouraged by Palestinian social media..

As the fully mobilized fire teams rushed from scene to scene, backed by Homeland Security Ministry reserve firefighters and soldiers, it became apparent that there was no clear organization in place for mass evacuations, especially of citizens without private cars, the elderly, handicapped and families with small children. The emergency services issued conflicting guidelines to the public causing chaos. Families told to evacuate in their own vehicles gridlocked the roads needed to stay open for fire engines and other emergency traffic, instead of the city hall commandeering buses. Haifa is an industrial city with petrochemical industries and an oil refinery with abundant woods and parks, especially on the Carmel. Yet the central operations room for managing the emergency was set up too late to control the town as fires sprang up in five places..

The outskirts of Modi’in, a town between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem caught fire again Thursday after the flames were brought under control during the night. There were signs of arson. Schools and kindergartens were closed early morning….

Still yet, despite the horrific lethality of arson jihad as a weapon of mass destruction, as always, the key and core lies with officialdom and their responses, or lack thereof. As to Islamic Jew-killers – wherever they are – they will never stop their quest to destroy the Jewish homeland and murder as many Jews as they can. We get that. 

Nearly 2,000 fires, many which began simultaneously, blazed from November 18-26. Many of them were arson, in which victims saw the fires being set and the suspects fleeing, or saw Molotov cocktails being thrown at the site. However, only 10 people are currently being held and only 2 indictments have been filed. Meanwhile, the government has agreed to treat 29 of the largest fires as arson terror attacks, paying billions to victims but still refusing to name or punish perpetrators.

Resultant, what is of dire concern is the usual huffing and puffing ala officialdom, almost as if on robotic cue. Déjà vu too. To wit, each time another wave of terror envelops Israel, the leadership raises its collective roar that they will NOT tolerate this and that, as if THAT will cause the fifth column(some of whom sit in Israel’s Knesset)  to shake and quake! Blowhards – Israel’s leadership. 

So just like during the start of last year’s knife jihad in the Fall of 2015 – and it is ongoing – Israel’s huffers and puffers had this to say:

…………..
 
Dear reader, ask yourselves: in light of the above axiom, “past is prologue”, how many truly believe that the most inherent lessons learned from all of the above evidentiary/firey trails will be learned, that is, to stop this madness, literally, consuming Israel!?!
 
You decide.

TWO HEROES: An American-Israeli; A Warrior Who Operated On Multiple Fronts, Homicide + Jihadi….Another, A Best Friend, Sayeret Matkal Commando

By Adina Kutnicki

WITH Israel fighting an existential war on multiple fronts, it is often forgotten that there are unsung heroes.

AS per today’s spotlights: tragically deceased, these 2 heroes barely tolerated political power-brokers – with the understanding that countless heretoforore “top-dogs” within the IDF’s fighting forces created (and still do!) disaster after disaster, that is, when they gained political power. In a nutshell, they are allergic to VICTORY (see x.com below). While there are countless to cite, it is instructive to commence your journey in the here and now, effectively, with Defense Minister Gallant, no less! https://x.com/AdinaF2boys/status/1846185723747082677

INDEED, such is the case since the re-establishment of the Jewish Homeland, in 1948. In this sense, yes, as intoned “There is nothing new under the sun“, Ecclesiastes/Kohelet 1:9.

REGARDLESS, one such “hero among heroes” jumps to the forefront, and he must never be forgotten. Tsafrir Ronen, z”l, operated “behind enemy lines”, therefore, most of his missions remain classified. However, as this writer’s best friend (having met in NYC, while he was “working”, close to a decade before immigrating to Israel), his untimely death shocked to the core; cut deep into the recesses of this soul. It is detailed within, “Israel’s Hero, My Hero“.

IT is more than appropriate to take this opportunity to salute another: An American-Israeli Hero; A Warrior Who Operated on Both Fronts! https://www.copsalive.com/4544-2/

Rest in Peace Morty Dzikansky

 By 

Mordecai Dzikansky
           1962-2022

I received very sad news today that my friend, retired NYPD Detective First Grade, Mordecai Dzikansky has died suddenly of a heart attack. Morty was my friend, my colleague, my hero and a damn good cop.

Morty served in the NYPD for twenty-five years and he was a Hero, an NYPD Detective First Grade, a Husband, a Father, an Author, a Teacher, a Cop’s cop and my Friend.

He is survived by his wife Meryl and their three children Zachary, Jake, Talia

We were supposed to be teaching together at the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association (ILEETA) conference this week but other priorities had pulled both of us apart and in different directions, so that neither of us were able to attend the conference.

He was together with his family celebrating the sacred Jewish holiday of Purim when he died.

He was the author of two books: The well known… Terrorist Cop: The NYPD Jewish Cop Who Traveled the World to Stop Terrorists, 2010 and his textbook on terrorism investigations Terrorist Suicide Bombings: Attack Interdiction, Mitigation, and Response by Mordecai Dzikansky, Gil Kleiman, et al. 2011

He worked with us at The Law Enforcement Survival Institute and was very active in trying to help other law enforcement professionals avoid, or mitigate, the traumas and hidden dangers of our profession. He suffered from many of these himself.

As a NYPD Manhattan South Homicide Detective on September 11, 2001, when terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center in New York City, Morty’s team of detectives were immediately dispatched to what would eventually be called Ground Zero to begin investigations.

Also at the time his wife, Meryl, worked in the 3 World Financial Center connected to the North Tower (the second to be hit by a plane) of the World Trade Center. She was just able to escape before the North Tower fell.

“Plunging Into My Own Hell”
I will never forget Morty’s words from the Foreword of his book Terrorist Cop “I had accomplished so much. Everyone said so. It was an easy leap me to read the newspaper articles about my exploits and then to imagine who would be playing me in the film. And yet, the warning signs that I was plunging into my own hell were all too apparent. There was a doctor whom I visited, who suggested in all seriousness that if I did not quit my assignment, I would soon be dead.”

Later in the Foreword, he writes: “I suppose I was burned out from the job. But, in fact, I was obsessed with my work, so obsessed that as my workload diminished, I grew even more obsessed and I entered my own isolated world; My relationships with my wife and children suffered; with time on my hands for the first time in years. I poured all my anxiety into eating and put on far too many pounds”. I was not suffering the kind of mental collapse that carried a stigma. My ailment was post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. Somehow, the emotions that I was experiencing were easier to absorb now that I knew my situation had a rational explanation. It was all so ironic. My job was to be the voice of authority; my tasks were to make sure that the awful scenes that I witnessed would never happen again. I suffered pain from our up-close encounters with the victims. And yet here I was, a victim too”.

So, how did he get there?

Mordecai Dzikansky entered the NYPD Police Academy in January of 1983 and graduated in June of that year. Coming from a family of Orthodox Jews, Morty normally wore a yarmulke but didn’t want to stand out during his time in the Academy. Once he received his first assignment he started to wear it and became one of only three Orthodox Jews in the 40,000 person New York Police Department.

He started his police career in Brooklyn as part the Neighborhood Stabilization Unit 12 (NSU12) in Crown Heights. From the beginning he was destined to be in the limelight. A photo of him wrestling with the suspect of his very first arrest made the front page of the New York Daily News. They also misspelled his name.

Soon, he received his first permanent assignment in the 79th Precinct in the Bedford-Stuyvesant district. During the 1980’s had a high rate of daily shootings and murders. In March 1986 he was transferred to the Narcotics Division and stopped wearing his yarmulke while he was undercover. In 1988 he was transferred to midtown Manhattan to become the first NYPD Orthodox Jewish detective, and in October of 1988 he was transferred from Bedford-Stuyvesant to the Detective Squad in the Midtown North precinct as a robbery detective. In April of 1989 he was promoted to Detective Third Grade and stayed in Midtown North for the next ten years.

NYPD’s Jewish Detective
Morty knew he stood out. Many of the NYPD brass referred to him as their “Jewish Detective”, not only because he wore a yarmulke but also because in the 1980’s he became the Hebrew-Language translator for the NYPD. The moniker didn’t bother Morty because he know that he wanted to move up within the NYPD and suspected that standing out in that way could help him. He was right, because in November 1990, as a junior robbery detective, he became involved in the high-profile homicide investigation into the murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane a very controversial Jewish figure in New York at that time. After arriving at the crime scene Morty told his superiors that he believed the murder had all the earmarks of an Islamic hit. As Morty had suspected the investigation later revealed that the murder of Rabbi Kahane proved to be an assassination having to do with his extremist anti-Arab views and the Egyptian militant charged with Kahane’s murder had ties to a world-wide terrorist network. The case was marred by many, many problems that eventually revealed that the NYPD needed to improve its ability to understand and respond to international terrorism. This would change in 2002 with Ray Kelly taking charge as NYPD Police Commissioner.

Morty had a strong affection for the State of Israel. He had visited there many times and wanted to retire there. Global forces were also at play in Morty’s life, and on January 17, 1991 as the First Gulf War broke out, Iraq fired missiles into Israel. In February 1991 Morty, took a month-long vacation and joined the Israeli Defence Forces Sar-El program as an international volunteer helping at an Army base near Beersheba Israel.

Back in New York, in May of 1991, Morty met his future bride Meryl Markowitz at a Jewish event and the were married in September of 1992.

Over the years Morty’s exploits had continued to find their way into the newspapers and he was developing a reputation. Then in the fall of 1992, he was thrust into the spotlight again when he became the lead investigator in a very high-profile task-force investigation into a series of fifteen thefts of sacred Jewish Torahs from Jewish synagogues around the city. The Torah, the holiest object in Judaism, is regarded as reveling the word of God; it contains the five Books of Moses, and the thefts created a massive stir within the Jewish community. NYPD once again turned to its “Jewish detective” for help. The Torah is sacred. A Torah, if too old or torn, receives a proper burial with accompanying prayers. It is the only religious object in Judaism that requires that the congregation stand when its ark is opened, or it is held.

The case proved to be particularly difficult to solve. One of the fifteen stolen Torah’s was recovered in 1993, and two young men were arrested in Brooklyn, but it was not until a break came in 1996 when Morty and his team were able to make two arrests of the person who had stolen the other fourteen Torahs and his fence trying to sell them.

Morty was involved in many other high-profile and important cases but his life would change forever after September 11, 2001. Between January and June of 2002 40 suicide bombings had occurred in Israel. In June of 2002 Morty was selected into the NYPD’s newly revamped Intelligence Bureau. The police department was establishing overseas postings for NYPD officers in order to provide on-the-spot intelligence of foreign terror attacks, and to learn as much about the methods of radical Islamic terrorists.

From January of 2003 until September of 2007, Morty was in Israel as the first NYPD Intelligence Division Overseas Liaison to the Israel National Police. His intelligence gathering and immediate relay of key information back to NYC enhanced the Department’s ability to recognize, react to, and prevent or recover from terrorist acts. During that time he responded in person to and analyzed 21 bombing scenes in Israel and several attacks globally, including events in Turkey, Russia, Spain and Egypt. He worked with senior members of the Israeli intelligence community on joint investigations which connected New York City and the State of Israel.

Despite all of the excitement and many accolades of his long career, eventually the toll of the trauma and cost of seeing so much tragedy began to take effect on Morty. His blood pressure was sky high. He knew that he was suffering the effects of PTSD from all that he had seen throughout his career, but he felt he could fix it himself. “We’ve all seen shit” he said, knowing that all cops have witnessed more horrors than the average citizen can imagine, but like all cops, he felt he could handle it.

In January of 2008, after 25 years with the NYPD, Morty turned down Commissioner Kellys offer to stay on in another foreign assignment, decided to retire to take care of his health and spend more time with his wife and kids.

Following his retirement he published two books: Terrorist Cop: The NYPD Jewish Cop Who Traveled the World to Stop Terrorists in 2010 and his textbook on terrorism investigations Terrorist Suicide Bombings: Attack Interdiction, Mitigation, and Response by Mordecai Dzikansky, Gil Kleiman, et al. in 2011.

He worked the lecture circuit and consulted with law enforcement and academics on global security and policing topics using his expertise to provide first-hand analysis of current terror trends, lessons learned, and worldwide application to prevent and respond to terrorism.

He spent time working on his health and fitness and I convinced him to talk to other cops about working through the hidden dangers and physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual impacts that a career in police work can layer upon your life. As I said, we were both going to be speaking this week to an international audience of law enforcement leaders and trainers. We didn’t make it. Each of our lives pulled us in other directions and both of us had to cancel for different reasons.

Now I will never see my friend again. At sixty he was too young to die! All the law enforcement research I read tells us that our career has risks far different from, and sometimes far above, most other careers.

AND YET WE STILL DON’T LISTEN!

Cardiologist Jonathan Sheinberg, MD, FACC who is also a Police Lieutenant does research on early cardiac death of law enforcement officers and he reports “We’ve collected data on over 2,000 police officers and what we found is 2,000 officers have an increased risk of heart disease compared to the civilian population,” Sheinberg said. “Now, we’ve known for years that officers die at an earlier age. The average life expectancy of a police officer is 22 years less than the general population.” and “He says police officers are 25 times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than from the action of a suspect 1.”

Dr. Sheinberg is a founder, President and CEO, of the Public Safety Cardiac Foundation. Besides medicine, Dr. Sheinberg’s passion is Law Enforcement. He is a licensed Peace Officer for the State of Texas, a Lieutenant on the Cedar Park Police Department, and a Special Deputy United States Marshal. He is the Assistant Medical Director of Williamson County EMS over tactical medicine and oversees the tactical medical support for the Central Texas Regional SWAT Team, Williamson County Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team and the Round Rock Police Department SWAT Team.

These are challenging times for police in the United States and through-out the world. The men and women who work in this profession are not only challenged by social activism, divisive politics, and a pandemic but also on a psychological and physical personal level. We all are aware of the danger of being a police officer, but beneath that lies a hidden danger: mental distress. A successful police career therefore involves not only surviving the danger but also psychological survival.

In his new book: Occupation Under Siege: Resolving Mental Health Crosses in Police Work, researcher and former New York State Trooper John Violanti, Ph.D. writes: “Post-traumatic Stress (PTSD) and depression appear to be prevalent in police. Police officers are repeatedly exposed to traumatic situations including motor vehicle accidents, armed conflicts, and witnessing violent death across their working lives. An estimated 7% – 19% of police officers qualify for a diagnosis of PTSD, and approximately 34% experience a number of PTSD symptoms. Depression and PTSD are often found together in officers. Several studies on police have found the prevalence of depression to be approximately 12% which is nearly twice as high as the general population. Both depression and PTSD promote poor health through a complex interaction between biological and psychological mechanisms. Police officers with PTSD or depression are at an increased risk for negative health issues such as cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal disorders, comorbid psychological conditions as well as suicide. Officers with severe PTSD symptoms are approximately three times more likely to have the metabolic syndrome — a collection of components which increase the risk for heart disease.”

SPECIAL DISPATCH From Northern Israel: A Front Seat To Jihadi Terror…Sirens Followed By Earth-Shaking KABOOMS!

Posted on by
1

WHILE many admirers of Israel, inside and outside its borders, are reluctant to criticize Israel’s leadership during an existential, multi-front war, this American-Israeli Zionist – living in the eye of the storm, literally – begs to differ. For it is precisely during this most perilous time that the heat must be turned up under their feet. Boil-like. Naturally, it is best to do so when the waters are calmer, in a manner of speaking. Alas, too many so-called media types in Israel do not possess the balls to state the obvious.

BUT never mind. Let’s just hark back to 2015, to set the record straight. Then, and only then, honest brokers can truly internalize how we got from there to here.

INDEED, it is among countless global interviews that this Islamic jihadi expert sets the stage via,

DEAR reader, please bear in mind that everything stated within has more than the required (and vetted) supportable evidence. Mind blowing.

ONCE absorbed, the charge-sheets within – yes, as per the onus, re KABOOM upon KABOOM landing at the doorsteps of the top tier – will become crystal clear. Indubitably, it didn’t have to be this way. After all, Islam mandates Mohammedans to kill the Jews, and, afterwards the Christians – First The Saturday People, then The Sunday People is not for nothing – thus, they are executing their cultural/political/theo missions!
 
IT is along this fiery trajectory that due diligence, as always, requires uncomfortable truths to be exposed. For instance, a mere two days after Islam’s barbarians invaded Israel’s southern front, October 7, 2023, the below told beyond harrowing tale(s):
 

FAST forward to the one-year “anniversary” of the bloodiest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and, lo and behold, Israel’s security forces executed the most spectacular feat in the history of urban warfare!!

The Single Greatest Mossad Operation OF ALL TIME

(Toggle the above link to its starting point!)

SO much so, this magically, delicious operation has been repeated, over and over again – admittedly, its exquisite execution is admired even by those who hardly support Israel’s survival.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/09/21/israel-lebanon-pager-explosions-hezbollah-warfare/

NOW, in light of said military prowess (be it ala explosive devices or other stellar war plans), how can it be that Israel’s honchos have allowed, yes, they did, KABOOMS to go on and on for so long, that is, ever since Islam’s barbaric appendages took hold many years ago!?! Rhetorical.

AGAIN, all of the dots, from there to here, can be found within the above links!

STILL, for those who are not convinced of this and that, well, this writer can attest to unremitting blasts of sirens, with IAF jets roaring overhead – warning of incoming hell-fire – on a regular basis, unfathomably, with earth-shattering missiles landing nearby! If not for possessing a “mamad”, a/k/a “safe room” of the highest quality, well…….

AS is said: over and out.

How could the most vaunted security apparatus in the region have missed the intel about what Hamas was planning? All Is NOT As It Seems!

Posted on by

By Adina Kutnicki

(UPDATE: Lo and behold, a day after yesterday’s analysis, adding fuel to the bullet-proof indictments within – as per the advance warnings given to Israel’s malfeasants: Leaders of Israeli communities near the Gaza border report receiving threats that ‘the coming holidays will be black.’

Channel 12 News has reported that the leaders of communities in southern Israel received WhatsApp notifications over the past several weeks warning of an impending disaster.

According to the report, the messages warned that, “The coming holidays will be black holidays,” and that on Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) the communities around Gaza will be conquered.

The community leaders contacted the IDF and asked if, in light of these threats, the planned festivals and holiday events should be held.

Military sources responded that the events should take place, explaining, “Everything is fine. On the contrary – we are headed towards the area becoming quieter. Money is flowing into Gaza and workers are coming into Israel.”)

FOG OF WAR; ALL IS NOT AS IT SEEMS

[FULL DISCLOSURE: upon urgent consultation with a team of freelance security experts – part of a privately-held Homeland Security entity, Tel-Aviv and Washington based – the following was the main topic. But, as always, a heated discussion ensued. This time, it was re the so-called “Intel Failure.” The below are our final conclusions.]

In the midst of the “fog of war”, horrified onlookers become confused, alongside many operating inside the war-zone. It is this natural and reflexive reaction that officialdom’s mischief-makers depend upon.

In this regard, the below bullet points serve as a follow-on, an adjunct thereof, to: SPECIAL DISPATCH: ISRAEL AT WAR; A Bird’s Eye View Analysis, “Operation Swords of Iron.”

With the above in the forefront, it is imperative to connect the overriding dots to the most pressing question/issue at hand:

“How can it be that Islam’s barbarians were open about their war-footing, practically, advertising their jihad, still, Israel’s vaunted Intel Agencies (and the DM, no less) missed all of the cues?”

A military analyst displays a video published by Hamas that shows practicing for the current invasion of Israel weeks before it happened.

As such, despite the personal discomfit, due diligence demands that the ominous dots are laid bare, come what may. It will then be possible to internalize how/why Israel’s widely-acclaimed Security Apparatus “missed all of the cues!”

DOT ONE: 

  • Brazenly, during months of turmoil re much needed judicial reform, Israel’s hard-left (the top-tier within political and military circles) revealed their menacing plan(s). While there are countless involved, let’s stick to (ex) PM Ehud Barak; a primary ringleader.

As excerpted, and in typical Orwellian double-speak:

“[The protest movement] will not stop. We will block this attempt on the life of Israel as a democracy and we will win this battle,” Barak told the CBS television network. “It might take time, some people might lose their lives along the way. I told the people we will have to face toil and sweat and tears, hopefully no blood, but there might be some violence; [it] always comes from the right-wing.”

Clear as a bell.

DOT TWO:

Indeed, a hard-left, Stalinist guide-post like none other.

DOT THREE:

  • Though Bibi is atop the political helm, all is not as it seems with the squishy-like, right-winger. While he walks the walk, and talks the (tough) talk, a central question/component within the aforementioned recent conference call became: though he needed Otzma Yehudit (the committed right-flank) to form his coalition, how could he leave out MK Ben-Gvir, the Minister of National Security, no less, from a recent strategic, high-level security meeting? Netanyahu said to meet Ben Gvir one-on-one after minister left out of security talks

Could it be that Bibi is more amenable to the leftist opposition than most realize – having taken baby steps towards the plan to oust his coalition’s right-flank, in turn, forming a “unity” government, as demanded by the likes of Barak, with Biden, Inc.-Obama 3.0 in tow?

As oft-stated, Bibi is a flip-flopper and a serial accommodator, that is, dependent upon which way the political winds are blowing. Harsh, but no less true.

It is these primary dots (though there are others to cite) which link-back to the most urgent question; that which dare not be ignored. Besides, all of those who truly care about Israel’s survival – of course, excluding pithy platitudes of concern, clucking noises, if you will, from Israel’s derelict poohbahs, as well as others from abroad – must face.

Again, how/why could Israel’s widely-acclaimed Security Apparatus “miss all of the cues!“

Tellingly, Trey Gowdy (and others) is pondering the same: how could this disaster have taken place?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_AYYHsPN8Q

As if the conclusions within couldn’t be any starker, as per what’s what re the grave Intel Failure, a captured Hamas terrorist chimed in and set the record straight:

A Hamas terrorist interrogated by Israel has admitted that the “surprise attack” on Israel which led to the outbreak of the war was planned during the course of over a year.

Speaking on Channel 13 News, analyst Zvi Yehezkeli quoted the terrorist as saying, “We prepared for more than a year. The protests in Israel encouraged us.”

“Five hours passed until they fired at us. We were prepared with 1,000 fighters, we made 15 breaches in the fence. We were shocked that the IDF wasn’t waiting for us.”

The terrorist also noted that there had been plenty of time to intercept at least some of the kidnappings.

“The riots on the fence were a deception,” he told the interrogators. “We led a family on foot, for two hours, into the Strip without being disturbed. The operation surpassed all expectations.”

Imagine that.

It is along this wildly dangerous trajectory that the privately-held Homeland Security experts concluded (in concert with this investigative journalist/analyst):

Israel’s second-to-none eyes-in-the-sky (never mind that the barbarians are smack on the doorstep) picked up the war-footing, but chose to ignore it (as mentioned, their grave dereliction of duty comes atop the in-your-face jihadi planning – A military analyst displays a video published by Hamas that shows practicing for the current invasion of Israel weeks before it happened.

Still yet, why would (some of) Israel’s leaders execute such national treachery? In the main, and in a nutshell: as stated, forging a “unity” coalition is the regime’s (among those who really rule Israel, yes, Israel’s Deep State) primary goal, regardless of how many dead and maimed Jewish bodies pile up!

Ipso facto, if 1 + 1 = 2, what better way to rally the nation – as rivers of Jewish blood, the most deadly in 50 years, flows through Israel’s streets – to come together, cynically, behind a so-called “unity” coalition!?

Alas, as if on cue, and akin to a serpent’s forked tongue, the 4 left-ward parties outside the coalition (aligned with the treasonous ex PM Barak & gang too….beyond chomping at the bit to grab the reins) opined:

“In days like these there is no opposition and no coalition in Israel” albeit, with a caveat: it can’t include the “right-flank“, namely, Ben Gvir and Smotrich! Naturally, both of whom support judicial reform and demand a hard-hand towards Islam’s barbarians!

But not to be remiss, none of the “see no evil, hear no evil” Intel Failures could have taken place, sans Defense Minister Galant; an absolute leftist, clamoring to enact left-ward, pro-Arab policies since Bibi, “inexplicably“, appointed, then fired, then re-appointed, this anti/post Zionist! Beyond the pale.

As neatly encapsulated:

When Defense Minister Yoav Galant called and quickly canceled a press conference on Thursday, in which he likely would have called for an end to his party’s proposed judicial overhaul package, it was a surprising crack in Prime Minister Netanyahu’s cabinet.

What was not surprising was that, if anyone was going to take the first leap, it would be Galant. He is only the latest in a long line of Israeli defense and security establishment figures to associate with the overwhelming number of Israelis opposed to what they call the “regime coup.”

Israel’s right wing has long charged that the leaders of Israel’s army and security services are inveterate left-wingers, constantly working to thwart the policies of Likud-led governments and publicly opposing them once they enter retirement and are free to speak their minds.

Sach ha’kol, at the end of it all: it is impossible to ignore the well-marked dots – that which are the only rational explanations, as to how Israel’s “leading lights”, supposedly, missed MASSIVE jihadi war plans on their doorstep! Folks, this is not rocket science.

UPDATE:

Massacre in Nir Oz: Entire family, mother, father, children, butchered by terrorists

Regardless, you decide.

SPECIAL DISPATCH: ISRAEL AT WAR; A Bird’s Eye View Analysis – “Operation Swords of Iron”

First things first.

“Tzedek, tzedek, tirdof…Justice, justice, shall you pursue.”
צדק צדק תרדוף – Shoftim (Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9)

“He who becomes compassionate to the cruel will ultimately become cruel to the compassionate.” – Midrash Rabba, Ecclesiastes 7:16

Some of the readers may be aware that this investigative journalist lives in Israel. As an American-Israeli, this bird’s eye view lends a unique perspective, that is, sans any pussyfooting around. Full-stop.

In this regard, interested parties are advised to glean reliable updates from Israel National News (Full Disclosure: Since 2005, I have written for this widely-read and highly-respected national and international news publication.)

Live updates – Israel at war: At least 250 killed, dozens kidnapped, over 1,500 injured

Live updates – Israel at war: At least 600 killed, dozens kidnapped, over 2000 injured

Now, in order to really understand what’s what at this most grave juncture in time, it is imperative to link-back (we will get to that….keep reading) to particular interviews and analyses – that which serve as deep backgrounders as to how/why Israel hasn’t attained absolute VICTORY, since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

Mind you, as per this latest battle, even The New York Times (hardly a font of pro-Israel sentiment) made the connection between the latest [emphasis placed] onslaught and the massive, sneak attack on Israel in 1973. Even so, their analysis will never, ever place the onus straight where it belongs: atop the shoulders of ‘Allah’s Muslim Terrorists’; having imbibed (akin to mother’s milk) the murderous dictates within the Koran, Islam’s ‘holy‘ book!

Consider the (excerpted) facts at hand, as explained in the introduction to BANNED: How Facebook Enables Militant Islamic Jihad, August 2016:

“In ‘polite’ society it is verboten to dissect the underpinnings of the Koran which are derived from the teachings of Muhammad. Inarguably, he was a pedophile, rapist, pilferer, sadist and a clinical psychopath…..

The fundamental problem of Islam is the belief that God talked to Muhammad and dictated the contents of the Koran to him. Muslims are indoctrinated into believing the Koran is God’s word, and so they act on numerous incitements to violence that they find in it……”

Ominously, their first murderous targets are the “Saturday People”, followed up by the “Sunday People.”

As stated, the following interviews and analyses are must reads – then, and only then, will this Sukkot/Simchat Torah massive Islamic jihadi onslaught veer into sharp focus.

DEEP BACKGROUNDERS:

Indeed, the above backgrounders are not for the feint of heart, but they are mandatory for truth-telling. Of course, most will require breaks to catch one’s breath between readings. Sorry about that.

Which brings us back full circle to the latest so-called war; as PM Netanyahu huffed and puffed out his chest. Yes, you read that right.

PM Netanyahu: We will win this war, but we will pay a very heavy price’: Hamas wants to murder us all, we will win this war,’ PM Netanyahu tells Israel’s citizens.

Alas, why aren’t his words reassuring? Could it be that we have heard said ‘war-cries‘ from his lips (and others) for the umpteenth time? Does ‘crying wolf‘ resonate?

Incontestably, if one takes a serious, deliberate, and sober look-back to countless wars waged upon Israel (as mentioned, since 1973), the facts remain the same.

  • Israel’s top-tier political echelon (be they right wing or left wing…it makes no diff) never calls for VICTORY as a goal, rather, offers insipid platitudes. Why is that??
  • As a matter of historical record, each go-around (generally, every 2 years, or so) they devise a catchy name for the latest ‘operation.’ This one is coined: “Operation Swords of Iron!” So, PM Netanyahu could declare that ‘this is war‘ until the cows come home, but the jihadis know better. It is merely another ‘operation‘, that is, among a laundry list of countless others! Btw, while Israel’s delusional leaders can’t internalize that lexicon matters, well, Islam’s warriors realize that they will remain standing. Guaranteed.
  • For proof of the same, take a peek into the last go-around, May 2021, “Operation Guardian of the Walls” – EMERGENCY APPEAL FROM LOD’S JEWISH CITIZENS: The Current Kristalnacht; A Pogrom/Farhood By Israeli Arabs Against Jews….As Hamas/PIJ Shoot Missiles/Rockets Into Civilian Areas – Terrorism At Its Core!
  • Without a scintilla of a doubt, Israeli forces are equipped with enough massive firepower to put an end to the madness – yes, burying Hamas (and all of its appendages, regardless of this or that hydra’s name) in toto, never to rear its murderous tentacles again.

So, in encapsulated form (a full-throated, deep dive would necessitate writing another book) to the aforementioned query: “Why is VICTORY not the stated objective?“, the following answer to the interviewer’s related question (May 16, 2015, eight and a half years ago) is most germane. Imagine that. “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.“ The more things change, the more they stay the same.

WOLFF BACHNER: And speaking of responsible world leaders, why isn’t the Prime Minster of Israel bringing up these serious issues with the nations involved in the peace process and especially with Obama and demanding an end to all military threats to Israel before Israel will negotiate again? Is he trying too hard to appease Obama and the various European talking heads, and by doing so, weakening Israel’s position even further in a peace process that is already an anti-Israeli charade?

ADINA KUTNICKI: It is this lock-step and debasing march which stopped him (during 9 years as PM, from 1996-1999 and 2009 -2015) from declaring victory over Hamas during the 2014 summer-long war, one which blanketed/blitzed the entire country with missile and rocket barrages. More indicting, instead of laying waste, years ago, to Iran’s mushrooming genocidal WMD program, he is still begging President Obama to lead the charge, knowing full well that he has no such intention. Chasing ghosts.

Inherently, he could have taken a page out of (the late) PM Menachem Begin’s playbook, when he defied President Carter and destroyed Iraq’s Osirak reactor. Now, as then, Washington issued threats to “cease and desist”, but one PM ignored said orders, while the other (continuously) caved. Statesmanship, or the lack thereof.

In the main, PM Netanyahu is best described as a “serial accommodator”, comparable to a badly battered wife who just can’t help herself from going back to her abuser, one last time, for more punishment. Now, others may tsk, tsk and opine: well, the POTUS is the big man in the arena, therefore, what can poor “Bibi” do but genuflect? Hogwash.

For the record, PM Menachem Begin didn’t have a problem executing what his mantle required of him; protecting Israel at ALL costs! Similarly, Israel’s first PM, David Ben-Gurion, gave Eisenhower the proverbial finger, when he launched a war in 1956 in concert with Britain and France against an increasingly belligerent Egypt. As always, Washington attempted to stay Israel’s hand. History repeats.

In furtherance to the above charge and indictment, whereas PM Ben-Gurion took on the U.S. when Israel was little more than a military pipsqueak, PM Netanyahu behaves as if Israel is a vassal state. This is the case even though he has at his disposal the most adept forces in the region, let alone technologically advanced. Hence, the question is not one of actual force strength, but one of inner and moral fortitude. Hmm.

At its base, the moment that PM Netanyahu conceded to a PA (terror) state (during his speech at Bar Ilan University in 2009, two and a half months into his tenure…regardless of how he framed it), the fact of the matter is that he gave Israel’s “kosher” stamp of approval to carve a 23 rd Arab state out of the Jewish heartland. This historical injury lands at his doorstep. Agreed, previous PM’s have been equally appeasing and beyond injurious, but the imprimatur for the above became cemented under his watch. No doubt.

Thus, he weakened Israel’s position within (already hostile, pro Arab) international forums, once he gutted the nation’s core standing. Realistically, are others supposed to be “more Catholic than the Pope”, so to speak? Not only that, why should they disagree with Israel’s PM, in effect, after he already conceded (his “reasoning” doesn’t count for a damn) to the “rights” of the so-called Palestinians? Unforgivable.

………

Conclusively, whereas Israel’s troops can be counted on to fight valiantly, it is also a fact that no matter how many Jews are killed and terrorized, Hamas and its offshoots will live to re-group, re-arm, and, unfathomably, come out even stronger, more lethal, and will call the shots for the next round! Rest assured, the leadership will never admit that their decades-long, failed doctrine, namely, “mowing the lawn” and so-called “containment“, has zero place within a normal and rational political-military lexicon.

Most significantly, ask yourselves: since insanity knows no bounds, how can it be that Islam’s barbarians were open about their war-footing, practically, advertising their jihad, still, Israel’s vaunted Intel Agencies (and the DM, no less) missed all of the cues?

A military analyst displays a video published by Hamas that shows practicing for the current invasion of Israel weeks before it happened.

Ominously, what will it take to convince the leaders (held mentally captive to The Oslo Syndrome: Delusions of a People Under Siege) to, finally, enact a volte face!?

AMERICAN DEMOCRAT SENATOR FORGETS ISRAEL IS A SOVEREIGN NATION AND THREATENS THE WORLD’S ONLY JEWISH STATE OVER JUDICIAL REFORM

Posted on by

By Wolff Bachner (Reprinted with permission)

As per usual, another democrat official is making threats against Israel, but this time it is coming from the Senate instead of from “The Squad” in the House of Representatives or the Biden White House.

US Democrat Senator Brian Schatz made his outrageous threat against Israel over the proposed and desperately needed Judicial Reform Bill by saying, “I have never been more alarmed about the future of Israel. Our long-standing relationship is a friendship based on shared values and interests. But if they cease to share our values and our interests, then we’re going to have to reevaluate the relationship.”

Senator, must I remind you that Israel is a sovereign democratic nation with an ancient religious and cultural history? The Jewish people have maintained a continuous population in Israel for over 3200 years, and the majority in Jerusalem since the first official census centuries ago. To all the Israel bashers who scream that Israeli Jews are just European invaders, if you bothered to read an actual history book, you would know that over 50 percent of Israel’s population are direct descendants of Mizrahi Jews, who lived in the Holy Land for hundreds of years before the birth of Islam in 610 CE.

American democrats shout from the mountain tops when defending foreign cultures and nations that support their activist, woke ideology, yet democrats endlessly refuse to allow Israelis and the Jewish people the same rights and privileges, especially when it comes to Israel’s substantial religious community. Faith in G*D is despised by the left and many democrats.

While Israel has some shared values with the United States, there are important cultural differences. The two nations have similar political systems, but Israelis are not like Americans nor should they be like Americans. They should be proud Israelis, who support Zionism and understand that belief in G*D and the Torah are an essential part of the Jewish state

When it comes to shared interests between the United States and Israel, as far as the majority of American politicians are concerned, Israel is subservient to American policy while providing the US with the world’s best military intelligence and anti-terrorism information.

Israel’s other role has always been to test American military equipment in combat whenever Israel is attacked by her Islamist enemies and spend US foreign aid on US-made weapons, as required by US law. America is only America’s friend, and often, the enemy of free-thinking people everywhere under the Biden kleptocracy.

Now, as per an analysis featured at Israel National News (March 11, 2023) on Israeli Judicial Reform via our uninformed, interventionist Senator Schatz (the name fits, doesn’t it?).

Sadly, the Democratic Senator lacks the information (or intellect?) to understand that in the United States, Congress and the Executive Branch decide who will sit on the Supreme Court. In America, judges don’t appoint other judges to any court.

In Israel, Supreme Court Justices are appointed by a committee that includes three current Supreme Court Justices and two members of the Israeli Bar Association. The democratically-elected Knesset does not vote on Supreme Court Justices, and Israel’s leader, the Prime Minister, does not nominate them. Making matters even worse, Justices on Israel’s Supreme court can not be impeached by the elected government.

Judicial Reform will mean that Israel will have a court system that is similar to the one in the United States, in which Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President and voted on by the Senate. Israel’s Prime Minister would nominate the Justice and the Knesset would vote for or against the nominee.

Frankly, it would help if Israel had an actual Constitution. Until Israel’s leaders finally wake up and pass a constitution, Israel will have to rely on the legal interpretation of the Basic Law, but if Judicial Reform is passed, at least the elected leaders will decide who sits on the Supreme Court of Israel.

So, why is there so much agitation over Judicial Reform? Despite all the threats of violence and massive disruptions of daily life the left is causing in Israel over Judicial Reform, Israeli democracy is not in danger. The left simply refuses to accept they lost the last election.

The previous government was soundly voted out after years of failure, and they are using Judicial Reform as an excuse to overthrow the Netanyahu government. The Israeli left has taken their rhetoric and threats of violence to the level of treason against the state of Israel, including telling Israeli Defense Forces pilots not to report for duty.

Judicial Reform is absolutely necessary. Israel’s Supreme Court Justices have ruled like Kings and Queens, and the left has abused its power and mismanaged the Jewish state for far too long. It is time for a change, and Judicial Reform is the path to a brighter, more democratic future for Israel.

One final thought: by extrapolation, why are America’s so called “leading lights” becoming hysterical and apoplectic over Israel’s Supreme Court evolving into a truly democratic institution? It is the answer to this core question which uncovers and underpins what is really going on.

TERROR ALERT: Preparing for escalation: Terrorist groups call urgent meeting following thwarted attack

By Adina Kutnicki

THOSE of us who are properly schooled in Islamic terrorism have no doubt that the war being waged against Israel/Jews (and the west in general) is underpinned by a hybrid, that is, Koranic-based texts, backed-up by political Islam.

BUT for a scholarly understanding of the aforementioned war-mongering, look no further than to “Islam & Blood.” It spells out all of the gory, devastating truths re Islam’s basis, sans any PC sanitation and Allah-washing.

IN a nutshell, it is a centuries-long war to the death — until every last Jew is gone from the face of the earth. In no small measure, this is precisely why the Mufti of Jerusalem partnered with Hitler to exterminate the Jews. A natural collaboration made in hell. Crystal clear.

(al-Hajj Amin al-Husseini visits the Trebbin concentration camp, 1942KEDEM AUCTION HOUSE)Kedem Auction House

AND this is precisely why the concept of ‘peace’ with Islamic terror hydras (Sunni or Shia) is akin to agreeing to the eventual demise — at the time and place of their choosing — of Israel and countless Jews.

AS such, pre-emption, a/k/a anticipatory self defense, is not only legitimate under international law, but a mandatory obligation of the leaders.

PREDICTABLY, just as the sun rises and sets, whenever Israel’s security forces thwart an impending attack, jackals from within and outside its borders can be depended upon to scream bloody murder — not directed towards those who planned the attack, but against those who pre-empted the bloodshed. Evil.

IN any case, let’s give a massive kudos to all who risked their lives and limbs to defend the nation. May G-d bless, and protect, Israel’s valiant security arms!!

KADIMA….

After major attack is averted, Islamic Jihad warns: “All options are open.”

Senior officials within the security establishment are warning that Israel must now prepare for a “significant escalation” in the wake of Thursday’s counterterrorism operation in Jenin which foiled what is being described as a “major terrorist attack” in the making, Channel 12 News reports.

Following the operation, an “urgent meeting” was called by the terrorist groups operating in Gaza. Islamic Jihad, to which the eight eliminated terrorists belonged, has announced that Israel bears responsibility for the attack in the Jenin camp and that if Israeli attacks on Jenin do not cease, “all options are open.”

Meanwhile, PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh has called on the international community to intervene. “We are calling on the United Nations and to all human rights organizations to intervene as an urgent matter in order to provide defense to our people and to stop the bloodshed that our children, young people, and women are experiencing,” he said.

As noted, earlier on Thursday, security forces arrived in Jenin for a critical operation designed to arrest terrorists believed to be about to perpetrate a major terrorist attack.

According to Palestinian-Arab media sources, Israeli security forces arrived disguised as Arabs hidden on a milk truck. Once their presence was detected, shooting broke out and according to at least one account, eight terrorists were eliminated.

The operation was designed and led by ISA (Shabak) operatives acting on advanced intelligence warnings. They were joined by IDF special forces and riot police.

During the exchange of fire, calls went out from Jenin’s mosques ordering Arabs to come to the aid of the terrorists. Schools were told to remain closed for the duration.

Yair Lapid, Authoritarian and Unafraid

Is Authoritarianism Capturing The Political Narrative?

ONCE again, Caroline Glick hits the nail on the head. It is no wonder that she is considered a leading political analyst/geo-strategist within many well-informed quarters.

IT is alongside this dangerous trajectory that the below was written on the cusp of “two fateful elections.” As such, ominous warnings are contained within.

INCONTESTABLY, just as the Biden regime (for all intents and purposes, a cartel) screeches that all those who oppose their totalitarian ways are, in fact, terrorists and in opposition to democracy, similarly, Lapid and his leftist hench-people do the same! Yes, birds of an anti-democratic feather.

Hmm……

ALAS, consider the following as a mandatory adjunct to what is at stake, lying-in-wait, for the free world. Shiver the west timbers.

ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS | By Caroline Glick | October 21, 2022

Lapid’s behavior since taking over the caretaker government shows that if he forms the next government, the foundations of Israel’s democratic system and the basic freedoms of a free society including freedom of the press, will be imperiled.

(JNS) Back in 2019, Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid infamously accused his opponent, then-prime minister and current opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, of dictatorial tendencies and contempt for democracy. Speaking at an anti-Netanyahu demonstration, Lapid said, “Listen Bibi!…We won’t let you be Erdogan. There will be no Turkish dictator here…We won’t let you destroy the country. This is our country. You’re not above the law. We won’t let you be a dictator.”

Like everyone, Netanyahu has his flaws. But throughout his long years in office, he never demonstrated any dictatorial tendencies. To the contrary, Netanyahu earned the fury of many in his political camp by repeatedly bringing leftist parties into his governing coalitions.

Absurd in their own right, Lapid’s noxious bids to demonize Netanyahu as a tyrant are downright laughable when viewed in the context of Lapid’s behavior since he took over as caretaker prime minister when the government he formed with Naftali Bennett lost a confidence vote in the Knesset four months ago and new elections were called.

Indeed, when considered in the context of Lapid’s now four-month-old premiership, his castigation of Netanyahu read like an exercise in psychological projection. Lapid, who stands at the helm of a transition government without a mandate from the people, is more contemptuous of democratic norms and institutions than any Israeli prime minister in public memory.

Maybe we should have seen it coming. Lapid’s demonization of Netanyahu is just one example of Lapid’s standard practice of vilifying and delegitimizing his political opponents and their voters. Lapid referred to Likud voters as “s***s” in a television interview. He insists that Israelis who vote for parties in the right/religious bloc are motivated by “dark forces,” and a “poison machine.”

Like his late father, former Justice Minister and Israel’s long-time resident Archie Bunker Tommy Lapid, the caretaker premier invented himself in politics as a liberal, champion of free markets on the one hand and an anti-religious, and anti-Mizrachi bigot on the other hand.

All the same, the contempt for democracy that Lapid has exhibited by word and deed since seizing the reins of power in June has been shocking, and alarming. Two actions stand out.

First, on Sept. 28, Lapid and his Yesh Atid party petitioned the Central Elections Commission (CEC) asking that it label Israel’s only non-leftist aligned television station Channel 14, a propaganda outlet. (Full disclosure, the author is Channel 14’s diplomatic commentator.)

Channel 14 launched on the open airwaves last December. It models itself after Fox News. Its programming schedule is comprised of all-day news programs followed by primetime news/opinion shows. “The Patriots,” Channel 14’s highest-rated flagship show, broadcasts five nights a week and bills itself as satirical.

In his petition, Lapid did not claim that Channel 14 serves as a campaign outlet for Likud. Rather, he insisted that Channel 14 is an election propaganda organ because it doesn’t provide him with supportive coverage.

Lapid’s petition was an existential threat to the struggling new channel. Channel 14 is already starved of advertising revenue. Israel’s advertising industry is effectively a cartel controlled by a handful of ad agencies owned by leftists. They have refused to permit their clients to advertise on the station despite its quickly growing ratings. Just as bad, the government, Israel’s largest advertiser, refused to broadcast ads on Channel 14 for its first three months of broadcasts. It took intervention by opposition lawmakers, and proof that Channel 14’s ratings had skyrocketed to convince the government ad office to stop discriminating against it.

Last week the CEC rejected Lapid’s petition. But had it been accepted, Channel 14 would have been barred from running any commercials at all until after the elections. And that’s not the least of it. Had the CEC accepted Lapid’s petition, Channel 14 would have lost its broadcast license altogether because running propaganda is prohibited under its licensing terms.

In other words, Lapid tried to use the CEC as a means to shut down the only broadcast outlet in Israel that doesn’t support him, or to use Lapid’s parlance, that doesn’t propagandize on his behalf.

The CEC’s rejection of Lapid’s petition is not the end of the story. Whereas Israel’s broadcast authority law stipulates that Israel’s Second Broadcast Authority, which regulates commercial broadcasts is an independent authority free of political control or influence, Walla News reported that Lapid instructed the Second Broadcast Authority to comb through Channel 14’s broadcasts to find instances where it may have breached the terms of its license. The report, which no one denied, indicates that Lapid is operating in contravention of law to pave the way for the future revocation of the opposition station’s broadcasting license.

Moreover, Lapid has gone out of his way to discriminate against Channel 14 in areas under his full control. Neither he nor any members of his party have agreed to be interviewed by Channel 14 reporters. Last week when Lapid held a press conference to defend his maritime agreement with Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, the Prime Minister’s Bureau barred Channel 14’s reporter from covering the event by holding up the channel’s cameraman for hours at the security checkpoint.

Lapid’s apparent effort to ban a non-supportive media outlet from covering his press conference was not the only way he demonstrated his contempt for democracy at the press conference. Far from it. Lapid presented the deal to approved reporters as a “great achievement.” But the opposite appears to be the case. In the face of Hezbollah’s threat to blow up Israel’s Karish gas platform, Lapid conceded control over Israel’s territorial waters, its sovereign rights to natural resources, including natural gas located in its economic waters, and its economic right to develop natural gas deposits in its economic and sovereign waters to Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon. And in exchange, Israel received precisely nothing.

Under Israel’s constitutional law Basic Law – Referendums, to come into force all international agreements that involve the concession of sovereign territory require the approval of two-thirds of the Knesset or must pass in a public referendum. Since Lapid’s deal involves the concession of Israel’s territorial waters, under both the spirit and letter of the law, Lapid is supposed to submit the deal to the Knesset for two-thirds approval. In the event, Lapid tried to avoid even presenting the agreement to the Knesset for review. Although Attorney General Gali Miara Baharav issued an opinion that the agreement doesn’t need to be considered under the Basic Law – Referendums (for reasons that aren’t
clear), she still insisted that the Knesset must approve the deal by a simple majority.

Lapid, for his part, doesn’t care what his attorney general thinks or what the law says. In response to a reporter’s question at the press conference, Lapid explained how he justifies his decision to act in clear contempt of the law and his attorney general and suffice with government approval of his radical deal with Hezbollah’s stand-in government in Beirut.

As he put it, “In light of the opposition’s unrestrained behavior, we have decided not to bring the agreement before the Knesset for a vote.”

That is, given that his political opponents oppose a gas deal that cedes Israeli territory and natural resources to its sworn enemy, under the gun, and just weeks before a national election, Lapid has decided that the Knesset is unworthy of the honor of approving his deal.

Several commentators have noted that Lapid’s statement demonstrated a contempt for his opposition. But the real problem with his statement, and the sentiment it expressed, is that it demonstrated an utter contempt for the most basic institution in Israel’s parliamentary democracy—the parliament, and for democratic norms.

Probably the worst thing about Lapid’s anti-democratic behavior is that his supportive press is letting him get away with it. While the CEC made Yesh Atid pay Channel 14’s legal costs, it didn’t require Lapid’s party to reimburse the television station for the fortune it paid to run a public campaign against Lapid’s efforts to shutter it. Channel 14 felt compelled to launch its campaign because for the most part, it received no support from its counterparts in the progressive, Lapid-supporting media. Israel Hayom, which changed its editorial line to support the Bennett-Lapid government was the only newspaper to express opposition to Lapid’s campaign against Channel 14. And it did it in a house ad, on page 20 of the paper. With the exception of two or three journalists on the right that broadcast for the other stations, Channel 14’s competitors either said nothing, or expressed support for Lapid’s effort to shut it down.

As for the deal with Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, most of the media coverage has played down Lapid’s apparent breach of a Basic Law to ram his deal through on the eve of elections. Opposition to the deal has been painted in partisan colors, effecting the sense that the controversy over an agreement which requires Israel to make massive concessions in response to Hezbollah threats is nothing but electioneering.

It is impossible to know how the elections will pan out. There are always last-minute surprises. Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc is consistently polling between 59-62 seats, which makes it far from certain that Netanyahu will be able to form a coalition without making a deal with members of Lapid’s left-Arab bloc. But Lapid’s behavior since taking over the caretaker government makes one thing clear. If he forms the next government, the foundations of Israel’s democratic system and the basic freedoms that citizens of a free society expect, including freedom of the press and representative government, will be imperiled.

Trump Criticizes US Jews: They Don’t Appreciate Enough What I did For Israel…Ain’t That the Truth!

Donald Trump

By Adina Kutnicki

INDEED, aside from (a majority of) Orthodox Jews in America, the rest are as removed from Israel as can possibly be. Hostile, too.

FOR the most part, they have been poisoned by radical left Demsters, to which they are wedded — who harbor pure hatred for Israel and, paradoxically, Jews. Coupled with this poison, the two outlier streams of Judaism, reform and so-called conservative, are as far removed from Judaism as pigs are to their sh*t. No kidding.

IN reality, the two factions emphasize “social justice”, above all else! Yes, it is the new “religion” of their tribe. Insanity rules their mentally-besieged thinking. They have become brainwashed, believing that they are “repairing the world”, a/k/a “tikkun olam“, even as they bastardize the aforementioned authentic Jewish dictum.

IN any event, the above (and so much more) demonstrates that even many smart Jews are as dumb as bricks, inexorably, when it comes to what is in their best interests. For if Israel is no longer viable (Mossad chief Barnea calls emerging nuclear accord a “strategic disaster” with Iran just weeks from breakout), most acutely, as a true sanctuary for Jews worldwide, as evidenced under President Trump’s stewardship, well,

ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS | By Elad Benari | October 16, 2022

Former US President calls on US Jews “to get their act together before it is too late.”

Former US President Donald Trump on Sunday published a post in his Truth Social app in which he argued that American Jews do not appreciate what he has done for Israel.

“No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.,” he wrote.

“Those living in Israel, though, are a different story – Highest approval rating in the World, could easily be P.M.! U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel – Before it is too late!” added Trump.

This is not the first time that Trump has criticized US Jews. Last December, in an interview with Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, the former President said that “Jewish people in the United States either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel.”

“There’s people in this country that are Jewish who no longer love Israel. I’ll tell you the Evangelical Christians love Israel more than the Jews in this country,” Trump said.

“It used to be that Israel had absolute power over Congress. And today I think it’s the exact opposite,” said Trump. “I think Obama and Biden did that. And yet in the election, they still get a lot of votes from Jewish people, which tells you that the Jewish people, and I’ve said this for a long time – the Jewish people in the United States either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel.”

In an interview with Ami Magazine last June, Trump expressed his disappointment with the response of American Jewry to policies he spearheaded as President, policies widely regarded as extremely beneficial to Israel.

“I did the Heights, I did Jerusalem, and I did Iran … I believe we got 25% of the Jewish vote, and it doesn’t make sense,” Trump said. “It just seems strange to me.”

Related articles:

Trump suggested, later in the same interview, that this was because, “Jewish people who live in the United States don’t love Israel enough.” “Does that make sense to you?,” he asked.

He also noted that, “I’m not talking about Orthodox Jews” – and indeed, the increasing support for the Republican Party among the US Orthodox population has long been noted. Among non-Orthodox and non-affiliated Jews, however, support for the Democratic Party remains strong.

Saving Democracy in Israel

AKIN to (evil) twins separated at birth, the radical left in the U.S. and Israel know no bounds. They are above the law. Unaccountable.

LIKE banshees, both shriek about “saving democracy”, meanwhile, said radicals subvert democratic norms by trampling across the elected legislative process. In fact, crooked/China/dementia Joe clearly exhibited the aforementioned with his bizarre rant, and insane attack on half of the population, Sept. 1, 2002. Meanwhile, he was flanked by a Satan-like backdrop. Chilling.

AS per their Supreme Court comrades in Israel, well, mirror images spring to mind — more than self-anointed. Transparency, what the hell is that? Self-selected, more than foxes-in-the-hen-house!

NOW, none of the aforementioned is new under the sun. It is pernicious, endemic, and entrenched for many decades. As analyzed November 2016, 

CASE CLOSED? NOT SO FAST!

ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS | By Dr. Mordechai Nisan | September 5, 2022

The Israeli High Court did not charge into the political arena in order to save the people from a tyrannical government. It did not flagrantly intervene because human liberties were threatened. No despotic leader canceled general elections, thereby demanding some special judicial response. In short, the explanation is simple: the justices were intent to set the national agenda in Israeli society.

The court demonstrated moral arrogance, intellectual haughtiness, and ideological partisanship. Its leading lights acted like a smug elite, enlightened in its own eyes, without inherent responsibility for the country and accountability to anyone, arrogating power without possessing authority.

Based on a 1992 Knesset law in defense of human dignity and liberty, the High Court then in its name trampled on the dignity and liberty of the people.

The great struggle in political history between the Crown and the Commons in British history was ultimately resolved with the primacy of Parliament over the executive power. In Israel, the clash takes on a different character. The idea that appointed judges/justices be the final arbiter in national affairs is politically heinous. It signifies a subversion of the people’s rights and their democratic choices. It is a humiliation to the legitimate government.

That the parliament – Israel’s Knesset – willingly or blindly ceded its power and primacy is a historic deviance in the annals of politics. There was no constitutional foundation for doing so. It represents an abandonment of liberty whose locus is the popularly elected legislature.

This is in fact what happened in 1992, when a law handed the court the possibility to overturn legislation and executive decisions in the name of human dignity and liberty. Now that Israel has witnessed the crushing of the people’s will – which is the core of the democratic covenant – it now remains for their representatives to conduct a corrective revolution, peaceful but firm. 

No logic or morality justifies a situation where fifteen appointees to the court exercise power that more than four and a half million Israeli voters and 120 Members of Knesset do not possess. This political perversion is intolerable. That the Knesset passes laws and the government makes policy is a political norm; only some gross and evidential breach of laws or an immediate danger to the national interest can tolerate judicial intrusion in the politics and laws of the country.

When court intervention would be justifiable, as in denying evidence obtained through torture investigative methods against non-threatening suspects, it has chosen to keep silent. In contrast, the judges sitting as a Bagatz appeal tribunal repeatedly usurped power from the responsible executive and legislative branches of government on many crucial issues of the utmost national importance – dealing with Palestinian terrorists, African infiltrators, Jewish settlements, religious controversies, social rifts, military decisions, and army enlistment. The court took a side and neutralized the organs of government.

Abstract principles and formal rights often replace broader and otherwise substantive considerations in the halls of justice. Israel founded on a national vision resting upon history and tradition is not an amorphous mixture of peoples, but the political expression of the Jewish people in their homeland.

Divorced from this composite understanding of Israel’s raison d’être, formalistic-legalistic criteria of justice lose their moral moorings. Moreover, the leftist hegemonic bias of the court on highly controversial matters, while detached from the values and concerns of the majority of the Israeli people, further damages the credibility and legitimacy of court rulings.

The Israeli process for choosing the court is not a public or televised event. It is virtually secretive in character, behind closed doors, no monitoring, overview, or review undertaken. This is rather astounding in a political era promoting transparency and visibility. A nine-member Judicial Selection Committee, three members of which are justices on the court, fills vacancies and chooses the 15-member Supreme Court. Shades of cooptation and an air of furtive collaboration sours the political atmosphere and proceedings.

The time is long in coming to launch a thorough reform of the judicial system and the mechanics of its composition. Returning power to the people and rescuing the country’s democracy are themes of urgency to resolve a contentious failing in the politics and government of Israel.

The upcoming November 1 elections will hopefully lead to the change many Israelis desire.

Israel, Palestinian Jihad dig in for prolonged combat. Tel Aviv targeted.

By Adina Kutnicki

WHEREAS an analytic report is in the making re the latest go-around between Israel’s mighty IDF and the barbarians at the gates, this much is for sure: But for the fact that Israel’s delusional/feckless leaders, year after year, refuse to bury assorted jihadi overlords, there would be quiet on the Gazan front! Mind you, Israel’s second to none “eyes in the sky” know precisely where they are hiding (and even when they are farting), still, they live to plot ongoing terror, that is, at the time and place of their choosing! How can this be??

IPSO facto, since they always know where to find them for righteous targeted elimination, well, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to calculate that it is they, not the all-mighty IDF, who  set the agenda, as per one onslaught after another!

AND another thing: Forget about the pictures of massive rubble in Gaza …. it is akin to water off a duck’s back. Incontestably, they understand that the destruction is an intrinsic visual aid. As such, the media front — the dual side of any war-fighting campaign — will come down in their favor. Hmm.

MADNESS. שִׁגָעוֹן.

DEBKAFILE MILITARY INTELLIGENCE | August 6, 2022

Both sides were digging in for a drawn-out conflict on Saturday, Aug. 6, Day Two of the IDF’s counter terror Operation Sunrise against the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). “We have not yet used our long-range rockets,” said the jihadists after shooting 200 missiles. The Iron Dome defense system scored 95pc interceptions, conspicuously exhibiting major upgrades in its performance. Up until Saturday evening, the Palestinian rocket barrages missed their mark, except for damage to a house in Sderot, whose occupants stayed safe in their shelter.

Saturday evening saw the first rocket barrage against Tel Aviv. Although the IDF marked out a 80km radius safety zone from the Gaza Strip, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the towns in between, the PIJ mostly refrained from aiming rockets at central Israel. However, a spokesman for the terrorist group warned that its long-range rockets were still unused. While refraining from an explicit threat to wield them, he indicated that there was more fighting to come.

The same message came from Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi on Saturday morning, when he forecast that the operation would last “a week at least” after the IDF called up 25,000 reservists. A wave of detentions of their top operatives on the West Bank preceded Operation Sunrise and continued Saturday with another 19 arrests, including the high-profile Najah Habayba, a former Israeli jail inmate.

The ultimate objective of the IDF operation is not yet clear. Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid will no doubt be taxed with this question when he briefs the opposition leader, former PM Binyamin Netanyahu, on Sunday. Will the military be satisfied with breaking the back of the PIJ’s military strength in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, thereby amputating one of Tehran’s primary terrorist arm against Israel before calling it a day? Or will the group’s core be left crippled but alive when the operation ends?

Defense Minister Benny Gantz warned that the conflict would not be confined to the Gaza Strip but also reach Jihadist leaders “who sit in restaurants” in Tehran, Syria and Lebanon.

For now, Hamas has stayed outside the confrontation. Egypt’s diplomatic efforts to negotiate a ceasefire were rebuffed by Jihad, whose leader, Ziyad Nahla on Saturday sat down in Tehran with the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Salami. Iranian Arabic language media reported that the two discussed “Israel’s aggression in the Gaza Strip” and ways of “fortifying Palestinian resistance.”

Nahla told reporters: “Our resistance will go on alongside other groups. We are capable of a delivering a fitting response to any blow.” Salami was quoted by Iranian TV as saying, ‘Israel will pay a heavy price for its aggression in Gaza.”

Weep For Our Jewish Daughters … Lunatics Running the Asylum: The Insanity of Israel’s Delusional Leaders!

ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS | By Shalom Pollack

Prison

(Gilboa Prison)

No one imagined in their worst nightmares that benefits granted imprisoned terrorists by wardens included female soldiers.

And we thought it couldn’t get any worse.

Turns out that, allegedly, the warden of Israel’s largest high security prison, with the knowledge and cooperation of his staff, pimped young female Jewish soldiers to prominent Jew-killing terrorists in Gilboa prison.

It is common knowledge that terrorist prisoners receive undeserved benefits including gourmet meals, entertainment,and academic studies, but no one ever imagined in their worst nightmares that it included having their way with Jewish girls sent by their superiors.

It was from this highest security prison that six terrorists escaped a few months ago.

How can this happen? It’s a process.

Apparently this shocking alleged state of affairs has been going on for a while, but just recently surfaced.

No doubt, years ago, (let’s say it – before Oslo) it would not have entered the realm of possibility. There was a time when Israeli meant Jew. Israel meant the Jewish State.

Right was not wrong.

A terrorist is a despicable enemy of the Jewish people and should be treated as such. A Jewish woman is a sister and daughter and must be loved and protected and not offered to the devil. And no one mentions how the Chief Rabbinate fought a losing fight to exempt all girls from IDF service for reasons of modesty -but no one imagined to what degree.

So, what happened?

Basically, the “progressive” forces wooed many Jews away from our national, religious and basic human ethical moorings.

Without roots everything goes.

Powerful forces insist there can be no definition of right or wrong, good or bad, no difference between criminal and victim, between a people defending themselves and those who try to annihilate them.

No difference between a man and a woman.

In this atmosphere, “serious” goals like professional promotions as reward for managing a “quiet” jail are what counts.

As it happens, the head warden of the jail is an Arab. Yes, aren’t we all Israelis. Jews, Arabs – no difference. It’s just a job. If the Jews don’t respect or believe in themselves, why should he? Do you think he would dare pimp a young Arab woman?

The victims of alleged sexual abuse and repeated rape describe how the chief terrorist basically ran the jail. There was full cooperation and excellent relations between him and the warden and staff.

Quiet was the goal and probably more than just quiet The warden and staff didn’t want problems. They provided the Jew killers with favors and entitlements that eventually included Jewish girls.

Post Oslo Accords leftist Israel has succumbed to the enemy’s narrative; that we are ‘occupying” their land. Israel has shown that we are willing to pay the greatest price that any people can pay – its sense of justice – to those bent on our destruction. Israel gave away its land for a “deal” with the proper owners – who the left sees as the real “natives.”

And even that temporary quiet came with a price.

Meanwhile, policemen became social workers when dealing with “occupied” Arabs, but remained stringent law enforcers towards Jews.

In the last election the anti-Israel Muslim Brotherhood party was invited to be the deciding factor in the government of Israel.

These lines were crossed and if they are crossed once again after the elections, every Arab, terrorist or not – in or out of jail – will know it is just a matter of time. And patience.

Victory will be theirs. The Jews will have lost their famous pride and courage – their sense of justice. No atom bomb can prevent that.

The entire IDF has not and actually cannot deter an Arab terrorist from raping a Jewish prison guard – if it occurs with the cooperation of the no roots, no honor Jews themselves.

When the tribe of Benjamin supported their fellow tribesmen who raped and killed a woman from another tribe. all of the other tribe of Israel went to war to erase the immorality that stained the Nation. That terrible story is recounted in the Book of Judges to be a lesson to us about Jewish pride and standards.

War was the only answer then.

When the Jewish people were about to enter the Land with Moses, the Canaanites captured a lowly Jewish maid servant.

Moses ordered the annihilation of those who dared dishonor a Jewish girl.

War was the only answer then too.

It’s time to go to war – for our nation and our land. A war for Jewish values, Jewish pride and a land with the Jewish mores for which we prayed for two thousand years.

(Israel’s) Bereaved families return offensive gifts to Defense Minister’s house … A wolf in sheep’s clothing

returning the clocks

By Adina Kutnicki

MANY find it hard to believe — let alone, to digest — that Benny Gantz, Israel’s Defense Minister, is more in sync with the “sensitivities” and strategic interests of the increasingly hostile Arab minority, incontestably, at the expense of the Jewish majority. Never mind his pithy comments otherwise. Lies and more lies.

AT this end, in general, it is par for the course for the political echelon (many of whom hail from top military positions and turn left-ward for political gain, that is, to curry favor with well-funded foreign NGO’s seeking to overturn Israel’s Jewish national roots) to degrade Jewish interests through incremental changes. Step-by-step.

INDEED, The Paradox of Israeli Politics: Vote Right, Get Left tells the (insidious) tale. Mind you, all of which is in direct violation of title to the historical, biblical, and legal  homeland of the Jewish people.

AS per Gantz’s betrayals, well, they are many. But to demonstrate the incredible depth of his reckless and injudicious conduct, well,

EFFECTIVELY, the man in charge of the overall defense of Israel didn’t even bother to properly oversee his underlings (the Shin Bet) — when conducting a deep-dive vetting! Surely, anyone with access to his personal residence should be subjected to a colonoscopy-like background check. Incontestably, the buck stops with him! Truth dare be told, he shouldn’t even be trusted to watch over cats and dogs.

IN this regard, it makes total “sense” that a more than lax security-conscious DM would be amoral, too — and on Memorial Day, no less! Hang on ….

ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS | May 4, 2022

Representatives of bereaved families arrived Tuesday afternoon at the home of Defense Minister Benny Gantz and piled the annual gift they received from the Ministry of Defense’s Family Division ahead of Israel’s Memorial Day outside his house.

The representatives said the families are angry that the clocks they received as a gift are decorated with non-Jewish and non-national symbols.

According to the hurting families, they are shocked that the clock does not have a Star of David, a seven-branched candelabra, an Israeli flag or an IDF emblem. On the other hand, the Dome of the Rock Mosque and the At-Tur Church on the Mount of Olives appear on the clock. Also, the Islamist crescent appears 13 times along with the Christian symbol – the five-pointed star.

Along with the return of the gift, they attached a huge protest sign that read “We are in pain over the harm to the honor of the fallen and the honor of Jerusalem.”

Our enemies keep their focus … The LIES our leaders tell us + Who is REALLY running the show!

Posted on by

ONE can spend all day, more pointedly, until the cows come home, and never be done cataloging the lies that the Bennett regime tells the majority-held citizens of Israel, a/k/a the right-wing. Truth dare be told, they spin more tall-tales than a stadium full of Pinocchio-like characters. In fact, there is little difference between their spinning and that of the Biden regime — and that’s a high threshold to cross! No kidding.

AS such, let’s cease attempting to place lipstick on this duplicitous pig, be it in Israel or in America. Simply, don’t piss on our heads and tell us that it is raining.

IN this regard, a sampling of the laundry list re the aforementioned within Israel can be found below. Keep in mind, it is hardly exhaustive.

THE PROOFS:

MOST perniciously, in answer to the query: who is REALLY running the show, the following illegal putsch by the enemy within removes the mask completely. Yes, and via electricity hook-ups, no less. Not to mention, the continuous coddling of terrorists ala this or that “goodwill gesture!”

BUT never mind. Here comes the highly astute Caroline Glick, as per what’s what in the hotbed of Israeli politics, aside from the fiery geo-political arena.

ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS | By Caroline Glick | Jan. 9, 2021

The “quiet” on the northern and southern fronts that Israel’s leaders point to is the result not of Israeli deterrence, as they claim, but deterrence by our enemies. 

(JNS) Something happens almost every day that tells us that Israel’s enemies are preparing for war. On the other hand, Israel’s responses to these events indicate that Israel is not preparing for war.

Three separate events last week exposed this distressing state of affairs.

First, on Monday, Iran and its proxies in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen marked the second anniversary of the U.S. assassination in Iraq of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force. At a ceremony in Tehran, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi pledged to kill former president Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Not only did the Biden administration not condemn the Iranian regime for threatening the life of a former president and secretary of state, but on the day Raisi made the threat, President Joe Biden’s nuclear negotiators were in Vienna beginning another round of nuclear talks with Raisi’s emissaries. U.S. officials told reporters ahead of the talks that they expect to close a deal with the Iranians, perhaps a partial one, in the near future.

To go by the reports of the negotiations, a deal means nothing less than complete U.S. capitulation to Iran’s demands. Last week, Britain’s Spectator published a report titled “Inside Joe Biden’s Disastrous Negotiations with Iran.” It described how the Western position has collapsed due to the radical pro-Iranian posture of the U.S. team led by Robert Malley.

British and other negotiators characterized Malley as “the most dovish official we’ve ever seen.”

One official said that Malley bent over backwards so far that “he now speaks to Tehran between his legs.”

Malley, they explained, presented the Iranians with what was supposed to be the U.S.’s final take-it-or-leave-it offer at the opening session of the negotiations. After the stunned Iranians “caught their breath and climbed back onto their chairs, they set about demanding further concessions.”

And it’s all been downhill from there. Iran has made no concessions of any kind. Clearly, under these circumstances the only way that an agreement—even a partial one—can be reached is if the United States abandons the ostensible purpose of the agreement—to prevent Iran from achieving independent military nuclear capabilities.

Israel’s response to the collapse of America’s diplomatic position has been to paper over the oceanic rift between the U.S. position and that of Israel. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett pretended away the problems, saying, “We’re not a teddy bear that just says ‘No.’ We’re not looking for a fight, there could be a good deal [with Iran].”

In short, the U.S. policy is to appease Iran, and Israel’s policy is to appease the United States. But no one is blocking Iran from becoming a nuclear power.

The second event occurred the day after Raisi threatened to murder Trump and Pompeo, and Biden’s negotiators renewed their genuflections to Raisi’s underlings. On Tuesday, Iran’s Lebanese foreign legion, Hezbollah, launched a UAV into Israel. The IDF responded by downing the drone.

On the surface, the drone story is no cause for concern. But it cannot be seen as an isolated event. Over the past several months, infiltrations and probes of Israeli territory by drones, “laborers,” drug smugglers and others from Lebanon have become routine occurrences along the northern border.

Hezbollah, which exercises complete control over the Lebanese side of the border, allows all these infiltrations and directs most of them. There is a method to these actions. Among other things, Hezbollah uses them to probe Israel’s operational readiness, its force structure and deployments, its intelligence capacity, its speed of response and competence.

Hezbollah’s operations at the border, in turn, cannot be seen in isolation from its “Radwan Plan.”

Around a decade ago, Israel discovered that Hezbollah plans to invade the Galilee in the next war, and seize a village or hostages from a village. Hezbollah intends to use the Israelis it kidnaps either as “human shields” for Hezbollah operations or as bargaining chips in extortionate “negotiations.”

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah publicly unveiled the Radwan Plan in 2015.

The Radwan force, an elite Hezbollah unit with 2,500 soldiers, is charged with invading Israel. Its members are veterans of the wars in Syria and Iraq. Although Hezbollah announced the program years ago, and Israel in 2018 uncovered sophisticated underground tunnels Hezbollah had constructed for transporting forces into Israel, Israel has yet to fortify the border. To date, only 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) of a concrete border wall have been constructed, due to lack of funding for the project. No discussion of preemptive operations to prevent Hezbollah from carrying out the Radwan plan has entered the public arena. And there is no indication that any such operations have taken place.

This brings us to the third event Israel’s foes initiated this past week. Apropos of nothing, last Saturday, Hamas launched two missiles at Tel Aviv. Later, it attacked IDF helicopters with surface-to-air missiles.

Israel’s leaders routinely attribute the “quiet” between Hamas missile and terror onslaughts to Israel’s deterrent strength. But last week, Hamas terror master Ismail Haniyeh dismissed Israel’s claims.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Haniyeh said that since “Operation Cast Lead” in 2009, Hamas has used every respite between campaigns to upgrade its strategic capabilities. It built its domestic missile production capabilities and smuggled thousands of advanced projectiles from Iran to Gaza between campaigns. It built a subterranean tunnel complex for offensive and defensive capabilities between campaigns. Ahead of Hamas’s most recent offensive against Israel in May, it built operational coordination with Arab Israelis that enabled Hamas to use Arab-Israeli pogromists as an integral component of its assault.

The assessment that the Arab mobs who lynched Jews and burned Jewish cars, homes and businesses in mixed Jewish and Arab cities, and the mobs that blocked major traffic arteries in the Negev and the Galilee, were orchestrated by Hamas moved from suspicion to certainty when the violence ended as soon as Hamas agreed to a ceasefire.

Israel’s response to Hamas’s missile assault on Tel Aviv was deflating. In the interests of “preserving the quiet,” Israel’s retaliatory airstrike was tepid, at best. Indeed, according to IDF officials, the Prime Minister’s Office was so intent on not provoking Hamas with the response that it sacrificed operational security by telling the media the attack plan before the aircraft took off for Gaza. The PMO denied the allegations, but Israel coordinated its response with the Egyptians, who are serving as go-betweens with Hamas.

Israel’s extraordinary efforts not to provoke Hamas with its counterattack lead to the distressing conclusion that the “quiet” between Hamas campaigns isn’t a testament to Israel’s deterrent strength. It’s a testament to Hamas’s deterrent strength.

Israel did initiate one event in recent weeks: Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s meeting with Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Like Bennett, Gantz insisted the meeting didn’t mark the start of a new “peace process.” Both men claimed Gantz’s meeting with Abbas at Gantz’s private residence was necessitated by Israel’s national security.

During their meeting, Gantz agreed to give the P.A. hundreds of millions of shekels, which Abbas will use to pay salaries to terrorists and their families. Gantz agreed to permit massive Palestinian Arab building in Area C of Judea and Samaria, which Israel requires to defend its national security and its communities in the areas. And he agreed to permit 10,000 foreign Arabs residing in the Palestinian Authority illegally to receive permanent residency status.

Obviously, taken together and separately, Gantz’s concessions to Abbas do not advance Israel’s security. They impede Israel’s security. Gantz wasn’t trying to augment Israel’s security by meeting with Abbas. He was trying to appease a terror-supporting adversary.

Israel remains more powerful than its enemies, but those enemies are no slouches. They lack armored divisions and air forces, but have compensated for those deficits by building three-pronged forces tailor-made to fight Israel. Their operational components are missiles, terror and unconventional weapons.

The missile threat Israel faces from Iran and its proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, Yemen and Iraq has no historical or global precedent. Israel has more missiles pointed at it than any nation on earth.

In a future war Israel can expect to absorb thousands of missiles a day from Lebanon, thousands more from Gaza, and more still from Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Enemy arsenals include tens of thousands of precision-guided missiles as well as rockets. While Israel has the most sophisticated missile defense system in the world, that system cannot withstand thousands of rockets a day. Many will get through.

As for terror, Israel will face both grand terror, of the type envisioned by Hezbollah’s Radwan plan, and local terror, from Abbas’s P.A. and from Arab Israelis who are now integrated into Hamas’s force structure. The purpose of terror is to disrupt civilian life, to undermine IDF mobilization and transport of troops to the battlefield, and in extremis, to bring Israel to its knees.

As for unconventional threats, the most ominous one—Iran’s nuclear weapons program—is apparently not operational at this point. Syria, though, has a large arsenal of chemical weapons. Iran and Hezbollah also have considerable offensive cyber capabilities. In recent months, cyberattacks have hamstrung Israeli hospitals and other critical facilities.

IDF commanders routinely declare that Israel is ready for the storm gathering against it, but it is hard to see evidence of that readiness. For decades, David Ben-Gurion’s doctrine of moving the battle to the enemy’s territory was the guiding concept of Israel’s defense doctrine. Today, that offensive doctrine is barely a flicker of memory.

-Israel is not preemptively striking Hezbollah’s and Hamas’s missiles in Lebanon and Gaza.

-It is not killing their terror commanders.

-Arab Israelis who participated in the organized violence against Jews and blocked roads during Hamas’s missile offensive in May have mostly been released from jail.

-Police and military forces are not confiscating the massive quantities of stolen and smuggled weapons that are nearly ubiquitous in Arab Israeli communities.

Lebanon’s economic ruin is of no concern to Hezbollah, which is largely to blame for the penury of the former Paris of the Middle East. Nasrallah and his terror forces remain scope-locked on readying themselves to attack Israel when given the order by Tehran. The same is the case with Hamas, which rules impoverished Gaza with an iron fist.

Israel’s political and military leadership needs to recognize that appeasement is not a strategic doctrine. It is a political move—and for Israel, a very stupid one. Our military and national leaders need to recognize the gravity of the situation and match Israel’s actions, force levels and resources to the dynamic and deadly form of war our enemies have developed to destroy us.
