Biden administration ‘furious,’ openly rebukes Israel for revealing meeting with Libyan foreign minister
The U.S. is said to be “furious” at Israel after mobs in Libya flew into a frenzy over a two-hour meeting a few days ago, at a summit in Rome, between Libyan Foreign Minister Najia Mangoush and her Israeli counterpart, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen. The short meeting was intended to discuss improving ties between the […]
Libyan Hysteria Leads to Dismissal of Foreign Minister Who Met Israeli Counterpart in Rome
A final thought: someone I respect took me to task for being unduly harsh in my verdict on Cohen. I agree in one respect: I called for his resignation, which upon reflection I think was unwarranted. But I still think he ought to have been more circumspect, rather than have rushed to make public news […]
Israeli Foreign Minister Cohen Thinks A Saudi-Israeli-American Deal Would Be Swell
I beg to differ. If we are to believe the reports of Saudi demands made of both the United States and Israel, the Jewish state would be giving up a great deal, indeed may well be putting itself in mortal danger, if it meets Saudi demands related to the Palestinians.

EU Promises Not to Fund Terror Groups and Programs Inciting Violence Against Israel

Israel calls on Biden’s handlers to issue a ‘credible military threat’ against Iran over its uranium enrichment
The Biden administration’s ongoing strategy in the face of any crisis is either to hide and hope the problem will disappear, or to make the problem even worse with inane comments and wrongheaded actions. International nuclear inspectors were said to be alarmed to find that Iran had enriched uranium to 84% purity. As Iran escalates, […]
Israel and Sudan announce deal to normalize relations as part of Trump-brokered Abraham Accords
The normalization of relations between Israel and Muslim-majority Sudan is an accomplishment owed to the Trump-era Abraham Accords. News of peace these days is rare as America faces implosion, poverty, uncertainty, strife and even war. Under Trump, there was peace, aside, of course, from the steady, ruthless attacks by Democrat cronies against his presidency at […]
Abbas hails jihad murderer of seven people as ‘heroic martyr’
Abbas and his terror statelet should not get a penny of U.S. taxpayer money, but Old Joe Biden and his henchmen keep the gravy train going. “Abbas’ newest superhero – murderer of seven,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, December 20, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): …Eli Cohen, Binyamin and Talia Kahane, Gadi Rejwan, […]
Hamas is begging for a ceasefire, while its leaders hide out in underground tunnels
Hamas is now begging for a ceasefire, while their key jihadist operatives hide out in underground tunnels. Meanwhile, Hamas’ strategy is to use their own Palestinian people as human shields, to create the image in the minds of those easily fooled by propaganda that Israel is targeting civilians. It is Hamas that intentionally targets civilians, […]
