This is virtually certain to fall on deaf ears. The foreign policy establishment will be fully back in the saddle, and that means more empowering of America’s enemies and abandoning of its allies. “Netanyahu warns against reengaging with Iran, in apparent message to Biden,” Times of Israel, November 22, 2020: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in […]
Obama Accuses Netanyahu of ‘Orchestrating’ A Campaign Against Him
As is well known, the most anti-Israel of our Presidents is Jimmy Carter, the perennially grinning author of Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, which contains such tossed-off malevolence as this: “Some Israelis believe they have the right to confiscate and colonize Palestinian land and try to justify the sustained subjugation and persecution of increasingly hopeless and […]
Netanyahu calls for ‘civilized peoples everywhere’ to ‘unite to defeat the savagery of resurgent Islamist terrorism’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not mince words in response to the Vienna jihad terror attack. He posted on Twitter: President Reuvin Rivlin stated: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Austria as we follow last night’s despicable terrorist attack in Vienna with concern” The statements by both the Israeli PM and President carry unique […]
Update: Will Sudan Be Next to Normalize Relations with Israel?
In late-August I posted an article “Is Sudan Next?” where I discussed the possibility – the likelihood – that after the United Arab Emirates, the next Arab state to normalize relations with Israel was likely to be either the Sudan or Bahrain. At the time, most bets were on Bahrain, so naturally, wanting to go […]
The Trump Peace Deals Won’t End the Jihad Against Israel, But They Help
My latest at PJ Media: At the ceremony Tuesday on the South Lawn of the White House for the signing of peace deals between Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, President Trump declared: “We’re here this afternoon to change the course of history. After decades of division and conflict we mark the dawn of a […]
Trump: ‘Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and Bahrain agree to a Peace Deal’
“Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain agree to a Peace Deal – the second Arab country to make peace with Israel in 30 days!” This is extraordinary. Trump is achieving it by refusing to heed the conventional wisdom that has guided U.S. foreign policy into disaster after […]
Those Embassies Moving to Jerusalem
There is more good news for Jerusalem on the diplomatic front. On September 4, Serbia announced that it was moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. And on the same day, Muslim-majority Kosovo announced that it would not only be establishing diplomatic relations with Israel, but according to Kosovo’s President Hashim Thaci, will be placing […]
Another Reason to Curb Your Enthusiasm About the UAE Promise of ‘Normalization’
The United Arab Emirates, apparently “outraged” that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has voiced his opposition to the sale of the state-of-the-art F-35 Stealth fighter jets to the Emirates, cancelled a public meeting that was to be held jointly with American and Israeli representatives. The story is here. A planned public meeting between the UN ambassadors […]
Palestinians Enraged Over UAE Peace with Israel
Naturally, the news that the UAE has recognized Israel and will engage in “normalization” with the Jewish state has enraged the Palestinians. They do not want any Arab country to act to further its own interests in dealing with Israel; it is the Palestinians who must call the shots. The latest on Palestinian rage over […]
‘Palestinians’ Are Enraged at Trump’s Israel-UAE Deal, Which Means It Must Be Good
My latest in PJ Media: “The Palestinian leadership rejects and denounces the UAE, Israeli and US trilateral, surprising, announcement,” said Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a senior adviser to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. That was just one indication of how welcome, how much of a breath of fresh air, the agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel […]
More Than 1,000 Israeli Former Security Officials Thank Trump and Support Annexation
The story is at Israel Hayom here. In a letter to President Donald Trump on Tuesday, some 1,000 former Israeli security officials endorsed the administration’s peace plan and praised the parts that allow Israel to extend its sovereignty to areas in Judea and Samaria, thanking the president for his strong support of Israel. The group […]
Obama Used National Security to Spy on Americans Opposed to Islamic Terrorists
Obamagate redefined opposition to Islamic terrorism as a national security threat. We know when Obamagate ended, but we don’t know when the policy of spying on Americans began. The tangled roots of the domestic surveillance of political opponents by the NSA predate the alarmism about Russia. Tracing them back into the fetid swamp takes us […]
Saudi government notes that Muslim Brotherhood worked with Nazis during World War II
This has been known for a long time. It’s all in The History of Jihad. From 1941 to 1945, al-Husseini lived in Berlin, where he became close friends with Adolf Eichmann and Heinrich Himmler, and met with Adolf Hitler. Eichmann’s assistant, Dieter Wisliczeny, testified at the Nuremberg Trials that the mufti had been a central […]
Palestinians Are “Disappointed” In Initial Arab Response — Arab League Then Rejects the Trump Plan (Part 2)
When the Trump Plan was first rolled out at the White House, three Arab ambassadors – from Bahrain, the UAE, and Oman – were in attendance, in seeming support of the plan. Still other Arab countries – Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco – released remarks that treated the Trump Plan as a praiseworthy effort that could […]
Video: “Palestinians,” enraged at Trump’s peace plan, burn photo of Trump and Netanyahu
The Palestinians Are “Celebrating” The Peace Plan In Ramalla pic.twitter.com/GhmPci5eU1 — Yanki farber TextTrump88022 (@Farberyanki) January 28, 2020 Can you imagine these people accepting a Jewish state of any size?
Trump peace plan offers “Palestinians” a state with increased territory and $50 billion
Trump said the map will make clear the “territorial sacrifices that Israel is willing to make for peace.” This is unfortunate, as no territorial sacrifices other than complete suicide will ever satisfy the “Palestinians.” The idea that they will accept a Jewish state of any size, in any form, is a pipe dream, as The […]
The Trump Administration and the Jordan Valley
Both Prime Minister Netanyahu and his chief rival Benny Gantz, a former chief of staff of the IDF, agree that for vital security reasons, Israel must annex the Jordan Valley. Very few Israelis would disagree. This is a strip of land in the West Bank, 65 miles long, with a width averaging 6.2 miles, narrowing […]
Iran publishes film portraying jihad attack on the White House and Capitol, killing Trump, Pompeo and Netanyahu
Iran didn’t indulge these fantasies when Obama was President, right? Wrong. Iran: Muslim cleric vows to “raise flag of Islam on White House” February 28, 2015 You know the regime in #Iran is utterly weakened & desperate when their propaganda machine produces short films literally portraying an attack on the White House & Congress, and […]
Obama stopped Israel from killing Soleimani in 2015, threatened to shoot down IAF strike on Iran
Just whose side was this man on? Yes, of course, he was just trying to avoid a costly war with Iran. That’s why he gave the mullahs billions that they used to finance jihad terrorist groups. “Report: Obama Administration Stopped Israel From Assassinating Soleimani in 2015,” by Tyler O’Neil, PJ Media, January 3, 2020: When […]
UN tries to restore its shattered credibility, condemns Islamic Jihad rocket attacks against Israel
Too little, too late, after a rain of condemnations of Israel for many years for the crime of defending itself. “Israel’s military campaign against Islamic Jihad enters second day, UN condemns rocket attacks,” by Andrew Carey, CNN, November 13, 2019: Jerusalem (CNN)Twenty-four Palestinians, among them 17 militants and a seven-year-old boy, have been killed by […]
