Benjamin Netanyahu has once again become prime minister of Israel in the country's fifth election in less than for years. Yair Lapid conceded defeat on Thursday after nearly all the votes were counted, allowing the 73-year-old Netanyahu to claim victory in the election.
"The State of Israel comes before any political consideration," Lapid said. "I wish Netanyahu success, for the sake of the people of Israel and the State of Israel."
Netanyahu's return to the executive office came as his Likud Party formed a political alliance with two other political parties known as Jewish Power and Religious Zionism.
Religious Zionism and its allies have weathered claims that they are extremists who will target the nation's minority Arab community, and the LGBT community if they take power.
"We're not going to hammer anyone," said MK Orit Strock, a member of Religious Zionism, as quoted by the Times of Israel. "We will serve all citizens, including those who do not think like us and whose lifestyles are different."
Strock did say that her party wants to "bring order to the public space," apparently taking issue with lewd, vulgar and pornographic aspects of LGBT pride events.
"Regardless of pride, there shouldn't be marches of people walking down the street naked or half naked," she added. "The problem is with years-long efforts, not just here but around the world, to force things on the public."
Before Thursday, multiple news outlets had predicted a victory for Netanyahu and the creation of a more right-leaning national government.
With 99% of the votes counted, the Jewish News Syndicate reported that the total number of seats for the coalition government had decreased from an expected 65 seats to 64. Nevertheless, the JNS added, Netanyahu only needed 61 seats to have a majority in the 120-seat Knesset.
In 2019, Netanyahu became the first sitting prime minister in the history of the modern state of Israel to be indicted, with various charges, including breach of trust, bribery and fraud.
"This is a hard and sad day," said Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit in a speech given before the Justice Ministry at the time, as reported by The Jerusalem Post. "I am bringing an indictment on public corruption against the prime minister in three cases. It is sad for me personally and for the country."
For his part, Netanyahu denied the allegations, labeling the indictment "a political coup" and "a contaminated process," in which he felt the investigators "were after me personally."
In June 2021, Netanyahu lost his position as prime minister after 12 years in the role, being replaced by Naftali Bennett, who held on to power with a very slight majority in the Knesset.

Media Blackout: Nasal Spray that is 99% Effective Against COVID-19 in its Phase 3 Clinical Trial – Now Approved in India, Israel, Bahrain, Indonesia & Thailand
Reported By Jim Hoft | Published February 25, 2022
Read more at https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/media-blackout-nasal-spray-99-effective-covid-19-phase-3-clinical-trial-now-approved-india-israel-bahrain-indonesia-thailand/
The Canadian pharmaceutical company SaNOtize Research & Development Corp., (SaNOtize), and Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited (Glenmark), announced earlier this month the successful outcomes of a nasal spray in its Phase 3 clinical trials and now approved by India's drug regulator as a treatment for adult patients with COVID-19 who have a risk of progression of the disease. TrialSite is the first to report on this.
"The study confirmed that SaNOtize's Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray (NONS) represents a safe and effective antiviral treatment that shortens the course of COVID-19, and could prevent the transmission of COVID-19," according to their news release.
The SaNOtize Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray (NONS) is designed to kill the Covid-19 virus in the upper airways, preventing it from incubating and spreading to the lungs. It contained anti-microbial properties with a direct virucidal effect on Covid-19.
Read their news release published at Business Wire and below:
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm study at 20 clinical sites across India that evaluated 306 patients, NONS reduced the SARS-CoV-2 log viral load in COVID-19 patients by more than 94% within 24 hours of treatment, and by more than 99% in 48 hours as compared to saline control.
Treatment also demonstrated, in the high-risk group (n=218), a statistically significant greater proportion of patients who achieved a combination of clinical and virological cure, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Progression Scale. Moreover, the median time to negative PCR, in this group, was 4 days in the treatment group compared with 8 days in the control. Test subjects included patients infected with different variants, likely including Delta and Omicron. There were no significant adverse health events recorded in the Phase 3 trial, or in over 500 subjects treated so far with NONS in clinical trials.
The reduction in log viral load corroborates the reduction of viral load in the UK Phase 2 trials (a reduction of 95% in 24 hours and 99% in 72 hours), conducted in March 2021 by Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Berkshire and Surrey Pathology Services, and published in the Journal of Infection in August 2021.
"These results definitively substantiate the safety and efficacy of NONS in the fight against COVID-19," said Dr. Gilly Regev, SaNOtize Co-Founder and CEO. "We are thrilled to be able to provide COVID patients with an affordable product that has been shown to deliver a faster cure. And with the proven safety profile of NONS, we look forward to this becoming the first line of treatment and potentially defense for COVID infection worldwide."
The SaNOtize treatment is designed to kill the virus in the upper airways, preventing it from incubating and spreading to the lungs. It is based on nitric oxide (NO), a natural nanomolecule produced by the human body with proven anti-microbial properties shown to have a direct effect on SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The pharmacology, toxicity, and safety data for NO use in humans has been well-established for decades. The NO molecule released from NONS is identical to the one delivered in its gaseous form to treat persistent pulmonary hypertension, or Blue Baby Syndrome, in newborn babies.
With the receipt of manufacturing and marketing approval from India's drug regulator, SaNOtize's strategic partner, Glenmark, will launch NONS commercially in India under the brand name FabiSpray®. The approval is for the treatment of adult patients with COVID-19 who have a risk of progression of the disease, which includes either persons over the age of 45, non-vaccinated people and/or those with comorbidities. Glenmark entered into an exclusive long-term strategic partnership with SaNOtize in August 2021 to manufacture, market and distribute NONS for COVID-19 treatment in India and other Asian markets including Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Nepal, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam.
NONS has a marketing authorization as a Class I Medical Device in the EU. NONS is also approved and being sold in Israel, Thailand, Indonesia, and Bahrain, under the name enovid™ or VirX™.
"As viral load is an important determinant of disease severity and transmission of COVID-19 infection, demonstration of reduction in the viral load is expected to have significant clinical consequences from a patient and community perspective," said Dr. Monika Tandon, Senior Vice President and Head – Clinical Development, Global Specialty/Branded Portfolio for Glenmark. "In the current scenario, with new emerging variants exhibiting high transmissibility, this novel product provides a useful option in the world's fight against COVID-19."
Glenmark will submit the clinical trial data for publication in a peer-reviewed journal in order to share its findings.
Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 3 Trials – Details
Patients in the Glenmark Phase 3 clinical trial in India self-administered a dose of 2 sprays per nostril, six times a day for a seven-day treatment period, along with standard supportive care.
The primary and secondary outcome measures demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the NONS treatment arm over the control arm, which was administered normal saline nasal spray as placebo in double-blind manner.
The trial also included a subgroup analysis for patients with a high risk of disease progression, including either non-vaccinated patients, patients in middle- and older-age groups, and/or patients with co-morbidities.
Reduction in log viral load in the NONS group was statistically significant and superior to the control group in the full population and high-risk population (p < 0.05). Similar results were seen in the un-vaccinated group. The primary endpoint was achieved and confirmed in all analyses.
Significantly higher proportion of patients became negative on the RT-PCR test in the NONS group as compared to the placebo group. The time to virological cure was four days in the NONS group and eight days in the placebo group (p < 0.05).
A significantly higher proportion of patients demonstrated a 2-point clinical status improvement on the WHO Progression Scale, the most clinically validated point system used in clinical trials, in the NONS group as compared to the placebo group in the high-risk group (p < 0.05).
Data suggests role of NONS in prevention of COVID-19, which is consistent with a faster viral reduction.
NONS was safe and well tolerated by all patients who were part of the clinical trial. There were no reports of moderate or severe or serious adverse events or death in the study. An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) concluded that NONS was safe in COVID-19 patients.
"NONS destroys the virus, blocks entry into the nasal cavity and halts replication of the virus, which rapidly reduces viral load. This is important because viral load has been linked to infectivity, poor health outcomes and complications from Long COVID," said Dr. Chris Miller, Chief Science Officer and co-founder of SaNOtize. "Amid evidence of waning efficacy for some vaccines and higher breakthrough rates, there is currently a lack of an antiviral therapy that is effective against COVID-19 and its variants that can be made widely and affordably available to the public. This is what makes NONS a critical weapon in ending the pandemic and preventing future outbreaks."

Israel Study Finds 4th Booster Shot Ineffective — Moderna and Biotech Stocks Are Cratering
Reported By Jim Hoft | Published January 19, 2022

An Israeli study found that the 4th COVID booster shot is ineffective in preventing the disease.
This is horrible news for the Medical Industrial Complex.
Via James Cintolo.
A study out of Sheba Medical Center in Israel has proven that a 4th dose of either Pfizer or Moderna is ineffective against Omicron. Preliminary data was released on Monday 1/17/22 showing high antibody titers but low protection. Here's an examination of the data, and 3 lessons we can learn from this.
To start, 274 healthcare workers at Sheba Medical Center received a 4th dose. Specifically, 154 received Pfizer, and 120 received Moderna. They were compared with a control group of nearly 6,000 healthcare workers that didn't receive a booster. Prof. Gili Regev-Yochay, lead researcher commented, "We see an increase in antibodies, higher than after the third dose," he stated. "However, we see many infected with Omicron who received the fourth dose". T elaborate, around the same number of individuals that received 4 doses experienced as many breakthrough infections as those who received 3. That said, there are a few lessons to learn from this.
This may explain the crash in vaccine stocks Moderna and BioTech.
Alex Berenson reported:
The hedge funds have finally realized there will be no fourth shot. And that mRNA technology, erm, still has a few issues to work out. (1 billion people aren't gonna love hearing that, but too late now. Mistakes were made, stuff happens, amirite?)
Moderna and BioNTech are down 8-10% today, 60% since August. Oh, how I wish I could have shorted them.

Brett Davis Op-ed: Watch: Biden Sounds Like Bumbling Fool in Front of UN, Embarrasses US on World Stage
Commentary By Brett Davis September 21, 2021

President Joe Biden, addressing the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday for the first time since taking up residence in the White House, did what he does best. He embarrassed his country with a foreign policy speech that was detached from reality, full of straw men and false dichotomies, rambling and incoherent at times and — c'mon, man — punctuated by avuncular exasperation and fake bravado.
The 23-second video below captures the tone of Tuesday's oration before the global body.
Biden gonna Biden pic.twitter.com/nG4WMAsTAv
— Benny (@bennyjohnson) September 21, 2021
Biden, spinning like a centrifuge, stressed that the disastrous removal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan will open "a new era of relentless diplomacy."
"Instead of continuing to fight the wars of the past," Biden said, "we are fixing our eyes on devoting our resources to the challenges that hold the keys to our collective future: Ending this pandemic, addressing the climate crisis, managing shifts in global power dynamics, shaping the rules of the world on vital issues like trade, cyber and emerging technologies, and facing the threat of terrorism as it stands today."
Taking on those problems requires foreign governments to "engage deeply with the rest of the world" and "work together with our partners toward a shared future," Biden said, according to a White House copy of the speech.
Biden's flowery verbiage is misplaced, belied by the reality of recent events.
American allies remain frustrated with Biden's handling — mishandling — of last month's chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, including the Pentagon's acknowledgment that a Kabul drone strike that was touted as "righteous" by Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had, in fact, killed 10 civilians, including seven children.
Americans remain trapped in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, even as the Taliban tighten their bloody grip on the country by sweeping away what little opposition remains and killing anyone in-country who worked with the United States and its allies over the past two decades.
More recently, the Biden administration has found itself grappling with an angry French government still smarting over a new trilateral security pact with the United Kingdom and Australia, which saw Canberra reverse course on a multibillion-dollar deal it had brokered with Paris.
Nevertheless, Biden defended his administration's international engagement over the past eight months. He argued he had "prioritized rebuilding our alliances, revitalizing our partnerships and recognizing they're essential and central to America's enduring security and prosperity."
Biden's take on other flashpoints around the world evidenced a similar naivete and refusal to acknowledge reality, including returning to the useless Iran nuclear deal (officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) and putting the North Korean nuclear genie back in the bottle.
"The United States will remain committed to preventing Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon. We are working with the P5 plus one to engage Iran diplomatically and to seek a return to the JCPOA," Biden said, referring to the five members of the U.N. Security Council, plus Germany.
"We're prepared to return to full compliance if Iran does the same. Similarly, we seek serious and sustained diplomacy to pursue the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."
Likewise, Biden reiterated his commitment to the pipe dream of a two-state solution regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"The commitment of the United States to Israel's security is without question, and our support for an independent Jewish state is unequivocal," Biden said.
"But I continue to believe that a two-state solution is the best way to ensure Israel's future as a Jewish democratic state living in peace alongside a viable sovereign and democratic Palestinian state."
One glaring omission from the speech was any mention at all of China — the top international rival of the United States and, more importantly, the source of a pandemic that has killed more than 4 million citizens of the countries the United Nations delegates represent. Maybe even Biden's speechwriters couldn't find a way to spin a China reference in anything like a positive direction.
Biden's weakness on the world stage is in sharp contrast to President Donald Trump's more muscular approach to foreign policy, including a deal negotiated with the Taliban that resulted in no U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan for 18 months, withdrawing from the JCPOA while making Iran a pariah in its own Middle East neighborhood, easing tensions with North Korea, and ignoring the Palestinian Authority to facilitate the Abraham Accords between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
That's what effective leadership looks like. Biden's appearance at the U.N. on Tuesday — a bumbling fool with a fool's record of failure — was exactly the opposite.

Biden Tells Israeli Government He's Reversing Trump's Jerusalem Move Despite Its Strong Objections

President Joe Biden is expected to reopen the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, in a reversal of a decision by former President Donald Trump. When the Trump administration moved the U.S. Embassy in 2019 from Tel Aviv to Israel's capital city of Jerusalem, the consulate was merged with the new embassy — a move that led to worsening ties with the Palestinian Authority, NPR reported at the time.
However, according to a Wednesday report by Axios, the Biden administration has its eyes set on overturning the decision made by the Trump administration, despite Israeli objections.
"President Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett during their White House meeting that he will not abandon his plan to reopen the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, setting up a major point of contention between the administrations," Axios reported.
Citing unnamed Israeli and U.S. officials, Axios correspondent Barak Ravid reported that during Bennett's bilateral meeting with Biden, the issue of the consulate in Jerusalem was raised multiple times by the U.S. president. Biden reportedly stressed that he had made a campaign pledge regarding the issue. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has also already said the U.S. would go ahead with the decision. According to Axios, the Biden administration previously agreed to carry out the reopening after Nov. 4, which is the deadline for Bennett to get his budget passed in the Knesset, the unicameral Israeli equivalent of Congress.
Biden's plans were criticized by several Israeli officials.
"We think it's a bad idea," Israel's foreign minister, Yair Lapid, told journalists on Sept. 1, according to The Guardian.
"Jerusalem is the sovereign capital of Israel and Israel alone, and therefore we don't think it's a good idea."
"We know that the [Biden] administration has a different way of looking at this, but since it is happening in Israel, we are sure they are listening to us very carefully," Lapid said.
"Jerusalem is the capital of one country only: Israel. I don't want to go into details, but this is my clear position," Bennett told the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations on Friday through a Zoom video conference.
Bennett, however, also mentioned that he desired a "no drama" relationship with the Biden administration, according to Axios. The outlet reported that many Israeli leaders, such as Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked and Minister of Justice Gideon Sa'ar, believe that reopening the consulate would be tantamount to Biden infringing on Israel's sovereignty in Jerusalem. Israel considers all of Jerusalem to be its capital. The Palestinians seek the eastern half of the city to be the capital of their desired Palestinian state.
"We have an interesting and yet delicate structure of our government and we think this might destabilize this government and I don't think the American administration wants this to happen," Lapid told reporters at the Sept. 1 news conference, The Guardian reported.
"If the Biden administration wants to see Netanyahu abandoning his Pilates classes and going back to the prime minister's office, this is the best way to do it," a senior Israeli official told Axios.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the Kingdom of Morocco has agreed to normalize relations with Israel, making it the latest in a string of majority-Muslim countries to do so.
"Another HISTORIC breakthrough today!" the president tweeted. "Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Morocco have agreed to full diplomatic relations – a massive breakthrough for peace in the Middle East!" (RELATED: Trump Removes Sudan From Terror Sponsor Blacklist, Prompting African Country To Normalize Relations With Israel)
Senior advisor to the president Jared Kushner told reporters shortly after the president's announcement that Morocco — like other signatories onto the Abraham Accords — will immediately open liaison offices in Israel, start scheduling direct flights from the country to Israel, and foster "cooperation" between companies in both nations. He confirmed that in addition to Morocco's decision to normalize relations, Trump had also signed a proclamation recognizing Morocco's sovereignty over the Western Sahara.
"This comes on four years of very, very hard work and diplomacy," Kushner stated. "We have peace sprouting in the Middle East."

The announcement follows one last month by Israel and the United Arab Emirates that they would seek to normalize relations with each other. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker-Pool/Getty Images)
Kushner called the announcement a "part of the president's efforts to bring peace and prosperity to the world," and stated that other countries in the region "want to keep this progress going." He claimed that the more majority-Muslim countries begin to interact with Israel, the less Islamic terror groups will be able to justify their actions.
Trump has touted the Israel "peace deals" as some of his administration's greatest accomplishments. Prior to the Morocco announcement, the Trump administration had helped foster normalization negotiations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Somalia.

Exclusive – Pompeo on Trump's Peace Push: Deals 'Are All Connected' to Trump's 'Strategy' Recognizing Iran as 'Primary Operator for Instability'
Reported by MATTHEW BOYLE | 15 Sep 2020 | Nicosia, Cyprus

Mike Pompeo, Matt Boyle / Courtesy State Department
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Breitbart News exclusively that President Donald Trump's peace deals in the Middle East are "all connected" and stem from recognizing Iran as the primary threat to stability in the region.
Pompeo's interview came late Saturday night aboard the U.S. Air Force jet transporting him and the U.S. delegation after he met with the president of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades, whom he visited here after earlier in the day attending the opening of intra-Afghan peace talks in Doha, Qatar. As the jet touched down in Doha late Friday night the previous evening, the deal being rolled out this week between Bahrain and Israel to normalize relations was announced. Previously, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel announced they were normalizing relations. On Tuesday at the White House, representatives of both Bahrain and UAE are meeting with Trump in addition to Israeli officials including Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
"It's a great question. They are all connected," Pompeo told Breitbart News when asked to connect the dots between the Afghan peace talks and these other peace deals being rolled out now. "The president laid down a strategy for how to secure America from instability and threats from the Middle East."
Pompeo, who is at the White House with Trump and other American officials as part of the historic meetings for the peace deals on Tuesday, said that Trump's Middle East policy strategy vision began by treating Iran as the main threat in the region.
"It began by recognizing the primary operator for instability, the Islamic Republic of Iran," Pompeo said. "That central decision has begun to drive all of the elements of our foreign policy in the Middle East. Reduce our footprint in Afghanistan, get our young men and women home. Reduce our footprints in Iraq and Syria, be strong in terms of sanctions and place pressure on the regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and then lay out a strategy for Middle East peace which had multiple pieces right?"
Several of the steps that laid the groundwork for these major steps toward Middle East peace, Pompeo told Breitbart News, include recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and several other steps taken in Israel. That, he said, has lit a path forward for Arab countries in the region for a vision for peace.
"Some of this is reality: Recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, acknowledge that the Golan Heights indeed is Israeli territory. We've also made clear that the settlements in the West Bank weren't necessarily unlawful," Pompeo said. "All of those things come together to place the conditions where frankly countries in the Middle East can see a path forward for how you can take down risk and grow their economies. We think about these deals between Bahrain and the Emirates as security arrangements. That's true, but the benefits to the economies of those three countries of opening up trade will be enormous."
Pompeo, who on Saturday in Doha met with leaders of the Afghan government and Taliban delegations at the beginning of intra-Afghan peace talks as the U.S. is as he told Breitbart News on pace for a full withdrawal of all armed forces by next spring, said the U.S. sees Afghanistan and other countries eventually reaching a place where through "economic benefits" to the region they join other Arab nations in push for peace inside their countries and with the West. He said the hope is even Iran will one day come to the table for a real deal, rather than the flawed Iran deal from former President Barack Obama's and former Vice President Joe Biden's administration from which Trump withdrew the United States.
"Those economic benefits are the kind of thing that we hope one day is something we can do in Afghanistan," Pompeo said. "We've made progress in Iraq as well by defeating the caliphate. All of those things come together to reduce risk from the Middle East. We hope that the Iranians will come to see that there is a pathway for them as well, but until they do, the pressure campaign will continue."
Pompeo also said that while Afghan peace is still a ways away, and that Afghanistan becoming a country like UAE or Bahrain is still even further off, there definitely are other countries in the Middle East that are likely to soon join UAE and Bahrain soon.
"Yes there are," Pompeo said.
Asked if it is a "peace through strength" doctrine, like what former President Ronald Reagan championed, Pompeo said it is—but the focus from Trump is on "economic strength." He added that the president is unafraid, as he has demonstrated, to use military force however to demonstrate America's might if needed.
"It's absolutely the model, with an emphasis on economic strength," Pompeo said. "The thing that America does best—our creativity, our innovation, our capacity to create opportunities for good all across the world—it's absolutely peace through strength. We're very much focused on making sure if there's a bad actor, if Qassem Soleimani is threatening America, President Trump will never shy away from using military force. But we're not going to be engaged in countries doing extended policing when they don't generate safety and security for the American people."
This is the second piece from Pompeo's exclusive interview with Breitbart News. More is forthcoming.

Barack Obama Barred A Member Of The Israeli Knesset From Visiting US In 2012

Critics called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's move to bar two freshman Democratic congresswomen from entering Israel "unprecedented" — but just seven years ago, former President Barack Obama barred a member of the Israeli Knesset from entering the U.S.
When news broke that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would not allow freshman Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, pundits and political figures alike were quick to voice their criticisms. (RELATED: Omar Claims Israel Is Implementing Trump's Muslim Ban)
But The Daily Wire's editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro reminded former Vice President Joe Biden of the Obama administration's move to ban Israeli Knesset member Michael Ben Ari in 2012.
Ben Ari, who belonged to Israel's National Union coalition of right-wing parties, requested a visa in order to attend two conferences — a request which was denied by the Obama administration in February of 2012. The American consulate denied the visa on the grounds that Ben Ari "belonged to a terrorist organization."
The American consulate never publicly released the name of the terrorist organization to which they believed Ben Ari belonged, but he told Israeli outlet Haaretz that he suspected it was his association with Kach — a far-right political movement that was considered a terrorist organization and had been banned in Israel 18 years prior in 1994.
Ben Ari responded to the move saying, "The U.S. government, who receives with open arms [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, who calls for the destruction of Israel, [Palestinian President Mahmoud] Abbas, who planned the murder of children in Jerusalem, and [Israeli Arab MK] Ahmed Tibi, who enthusiastically encourages shahids, chose to bar me from meeting with Jewish communities in the U.S. and to encourage aliyah to Israel, with claims that I am a terrorist."
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin called the move "unacceptable," saying in a letter to then U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro, "National Union is a completely legitimate faction of the Israeli parliament, and Ben Ari an elected representative of the State of Israel, a close American ally. To impugn him as belonging to a terrorist organization and bar him from visiting the country is unacceptable."
Ben Ari, now a part of the far-right Otzma-Yehudit party, was banned from running for office in March of 2019. The High Court of Justice voted 8-1 to ban him, citing his "anti-Arab ideology," marking the first time an individual candidate has been banned from elections. The court approved a far-left Jewish candidate and an Arab party slate.

Archaeologists Uncover Definitive Proof of Bible Passage in Middle of Jerusalem
Reported By Jack Davis | Published April 1, 2019 at 7:14am | Modified April 1, 2019 at 9:16am

An artifact recently discovered beneath a Jerusalem parking lot contains the first non-Biblical reference to an Old Testament figure in the court of King Josiah. The 2,600-year-old clay impression references the biblical name Nathan-Melech, according to the Times of Israel.
The clay was stamped with a seal that read, "(belonging) to Nathan-Melech, Servant of the King," the newspaper reported. Nathan-Melech is named in 2 Kings as an official in the court of King Josiah.
The discovery took place within the ruins of a building destroyed during the destruction of the First Temple. It was found during excavations of a parking lot in the City of David National Park in Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Post reported.
A second seal was found that said it belonged "to Ikkar son of Matanyahu."
Doron Spielman, vice president of the City of David Foundation, which operates the park, told the Times of Israel that the mention of Nathan-Melech's name makes the discovery important.
"This is an extremely exciting find for billions of people worldwide. The personal seal of Nat(h)an-Melech, a senior official in the government of Josiah, King of Judah, as described in the Second Book of Kings.
"The ongoing archaeological excavations at the City of David continue to prove that ancient Jerusalem is no longer just a matter of faith, but also a matter of fact," he said.
"It is truly fascinating to watch how archeologists have uncovered more than 12 layers of Jerusalem history in what used to be a parking lot until just few years ago," he said.
Nathan-Melech is mentioned in 2 Kings 23:11. As an official of King Josiah, he implemented religious reforms.
2 Kings 23:11 New King James Version (NKJV)
11 Then he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had [a]dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech, the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
The finds are "not just another discovery," said archaeologist Yiftah Shalev of the Israel Antiquities Authority.
The "paint a much larger picture of the era in Jerusalem," he told the Times of Israel.
"What is (of) importance is not just that they were found in Jerusalem, but inside their true archaeological context," he said, commenting on the two-story First Temple structure in which the items were found.
Shalev said the building was an administrative center in ancient Jerusalem.
Shalev and Yuval Gadot, an archaeologist and professor at Tel Aviv University, said in an antiquities authority news release that the area shows signs of destruction in the sixth century B.C., roughly the time of the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem.
"These artifacts attest to the highly developed system of administration in the Kingdom of Judah and add considerable information to our understanding of the economic status of Jerusalem and its administrative system during the First Temple period, as well as personal information about the king's closest officials and administrators who lived and worked in the city," the news release stated.
Anat Mendel-Geberovich of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Center for the Study of Ancient Jerusalem said that it's a bit too early to be certain that the individual referenced on the clay and the biblical figures are one and the same, but admitted the possibility is strong.
"Although it is not possible to determine with complete certainty that the Nathan-Melech who is mentioned in the Bible was, in fact, the owner of the stamp, it is impossible to ignore some of the details that link them together," he told the Times of Israel.

Reporter Catches Extremely Disturbing Behavior from Linda Sarsour's Apparent Bodyguard
Reported By Malachi Bailey | Published March 7, 2019 at 1:02pm
URL of the original posting site: https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/reporter-catches-extremely-disturbing-behavior-linda-sarsours-apparent-bodyguard/
Linda Sarsour, a far-left activist and known anti-Semite, turned her bodyguard on a reporter who asked about Israel's right to exist at Sarsour's rally for Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar. Sarsour's rally for Omar, who is known for her anti-Semitic tweets about "hook-nosed Jews," was held in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. Like the freshman congresswoman, Sarsour is notoriously anti-Semitic and known to have ties to radical Islamic groups.
And of course, Sarsour is a supporter of the "one-state solution" in the Middle East, which means the far-left activist wants to get rid of the Jewish state.
Considering Sarsour's notoriety as founder of the Women's March movement, known anti-Semitism and outspoken support for Omar, it makes sense why a reporter would confront her about her radical stance on Israel.
"Linda, do you believe the state of Israel has a right to exist?" a reporter asked Sarsour on Wednesday.
"We'll answer questions later after the press conference," Sarsour said. "I'll be happy to answer them."
The reporter patiently waited until after the press conference, but Sarsour's apparent bodyguards blocked him from asking questions. As the bodyguards stopped the reporter from confronting Sarsour, he asked, "Why are you guys pushing me here?" The bodyguard repeatedly asked the reporter, "Why are you here?" and brought up anti-Semitic stereotypes about Jewish money. "Do you work for Israel? How much do you get paid? Do they pay you enough?" the bodyguard angrily asked.
The bodyguard's comments were eerily similar to the comments made about Jewish "lobbyists" from Omar last month.
This is what the face of the new Democratic Party looks like; a growing portion of Democrats now support radical Islam and have a disdain for Jewish people. And don't be tricked into thinking it's only a few radicals on the left. Omar isn't only supported by Sarsour — the representative also has the backing of her freshman colleague, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Ocasio-Cortez, who is immensely popular in far-left circles, made it clear that she isn't bothered by Omar's anti-Semitism. Omar and Ocasio-Cortez might not publicly support radicals like Sarsour, but they definitely have the support of radicals, and that's evidence enough of the representatives' extremist dog whistling.
Democrats should be concerned because their party is being taken over by a coalition of extreme socialists and radical Islam sympathizers.

Swedish flotilla lands in Gaza to support Israel, Christians
Reported by Michael F. Haverluck (OneNewsNow.com) | Sunday, October 14, 2018
URL of the original posting site: https://www.onenewsnow.com/national-security/2018/10/14/swedish-flotilla-lands-in-gaza-to-support-israel-christians
A pro-Israeli Swedish flotilla packed with more than 50 evangelical Christians arrived on the shore of Gaza in Israel to counter pro-Palestinian Gaza-bound ships.
The fleet of ships symbolizes the Scandinavian country's support of Israel in its ongoing conflict with the Islamic terrorist group-led Palestinian government and its people.
"A flotilla of Swedish ships arrived in the Herzliya Marina on Israel's Mediterranean coast Thursday night – following a roughly month-and-a-half journey from Gothenburg, Sweden," Israel National News (INN) reported. "Led by the ship 'Elida', the flotilla is part of an effort by pro-Israel Evangelical Christians in Sweden to improve their country's image vis-à-vis the Jewish State."
Anchoring down for Israel
Elida's captain, Stefan Abrahamsson – the owner of the yacht and organizer of the trip – pitched his anchor to begin a show of support for Israel over a week and a half – a visit that also seeks to reach solidarity with Middle Eastern Christians.
"It's great to be here at last," Abrahamsson proclaimed after docking, according to the Israeli Yediot Ahronot, as reported by INN. "It was wonderful to see all the boats that accompanied us with the flags and music. We will be here for 11 days … we came here because Sweden's image in Israel is very bad, and we are here to express our sorrow over this."
He stated Israel's case in the ongoing controversial Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is often misrepresented by the media, which portrays Palestinians as victims of Israeli oppression and "apartheid" – a message that is readily embraced by many Europeans.
"Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East that is built upon ideals which are central throughout the western world – such as equality; however, Israel is the only country which my country condemns," Abrahamsson continued. "We are here to tell Israelis: 'We love you,' we are standing behind you and want to show our solidarity with you."
Abrahamsson declared the intention of his voyage to help the persecuted Church in Gaza through a post on social media just before his flotilla embarked a month and a half ago.
"We want to break the silence of the severe persecution and cleansing of the Christian population that is taking place in this region," the Swedish Christian captain announced on Facebook on August 25. "As the only democracy in the Middle East amid dictatorships, Israel welcomes us on this show of solidarity with human rights, freedom of expression, freedom of religion and fundamental democratic values. In turn, we are taking a stand for the values that Israel stands for."
A tour of support for Israel
Abrahamsson's itinerary was jam-packed from the moment his flotilla touched down on Israeli shores.
"The crew and passengers aboard the 131-foot yacht will host visitors every day during their stay," CBN News reported. "They will also visit the Technion in Haifa – which some call Israel's MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)."
From Israel's capital – where President Donald Trump recently moved the United States Embassy to from its previous location in Tel Aviv – to Ashdod, Abrahamsson's crew will be busy supporting Israel's government and persecuted Christian population within the Gaza Strip.
"The Israeli Foreign Ministry will host the delegation for lunch in Jerusalem on Sunday, JTA reported," CBN News' Tzippe Barrow informed. "For one day, Tuesday, October 16, the Elida will be docked at the Ashdod port."
Another mission of the flotilla was to garner support from fellow Swedes, who have predominantly taken the pro-Palestinian stance in Israel's conflict and supported Muslim immigration into Europe in the so-called "refugee crisis."
"Former Israeli Ambassador to Sweden, Isaac Bachman, called the flotilla a 'solidarity with Israel marine voyage' that brought Swedish Christians who love Israel," Barrow noted. "In Sweden's political and social climate, he said, it's uncommon to declare strong support for Israel out loud."
Appreciation and a warm welcome were expressed for the Swedish Christians taking three-month-plus round trip to show solidarity with Israel.
The other side of Sweden
Another Swedish flotilla to Gaza set sail earlier this year on May 22, but those on board the ships had an anti-Semitic agenda, as it attempted to break through a blockade set by the Israeli Navy in order to support the Palestinians' ongoing attack and rebellion against Israel.
During the pro-Palestinian demonstration – which reached Gaza in August – Israel took security precautions to make sure the demonstrators did not incite Palestinians to engage in more hostility and violence against the Jewish State.
"Seven Swedish activists detained by the Israeli Navy while attempting to breach its blockade of Gaza [were] deported to Sweden – the organizers of the Ship to Gaza activist flotilla said," The Times of Israel reported in August. "Israel imposed the blockade following the rise to power in Gaza of Hamas – which is internationally recognized as a terrorist organization and whose charter speaks about killing Jews and destroying Israel."
During the days surrounding the rebellious Swedish flotilla demonstration, Islamic Palestinian terrorists launched more than 150 rocket attacks at Israel from inside the border of the Gaza Strip.
One pro-Palestinian entertainer participating in the flotilla incited more anti-Semitism in Sweden and Gaza through her inflammatory rhetoric.
"Among the activists aboard the Gaza-bound ship was actress Oldoz Javidi, whose remarks about Israeli Jews during the sail to Swedish media caused an uproar," The Times of Israel pointed out at the time. "She said that her 'fantasy' was to see Israeli Jews 'transferred' to the United States and the land being given to Palestinians – whom she said owned it."
Javidi has a considerable amount of political sway in Sweden, where she is running for office as a leader for an ultra-leftist party. In an attempt at damage control to stem public outrage over her racist remarks, Javidi tried to diffuse the controversy using evasive language.
"Amid accusations of anti-Semitism, Javidi – [who] is a candidate for the Feminist Perspective radical party – retracted the statement, explaining it 'could be misinterpreted or misunderstood,'" the Israeli daily added.

Patriots Are FURIOUS! Indirect Money Source For Gaza Riots Discovered – Guess Who It Is!
Reported by Ahle | May 18, 2018
URL of the original posting site: https://steadfastandloyal.com/news-for-you/patriots-are-furious-indirect-money-source-for-gaza-riots-discovered-guess-who-it-is/
Obama! You heard me right. Obama is paying for these riots but not directly. Let us start with Daniel Greenfield who wrote an article with one of the best paragraphs I have read in a news article.
"Hamas supporters in Gaza held the world's first peaceful protest with hand grenades, pipe bombs, cleavers, and guns. Ten explosive devices were peacefully detonated. There were outbursts of peaceful gunfire and over a dozen kites carrying firebombs were sent into Israel where they started 23 peaceful fires. And Israeli soldiers peacefully defended their country leaving multiple Hamas attackers at peace."
With writing like that he could be working for CNN or the New York Times… Someday he could be a speechwriter for the Hillary 2032 campaign. But his writing does make a good point, Liberals are finally showing their true colors especially as far as their lack of support from Democrats is concerned.
Greenfield discovered that Hamas was paying protesters. $100 a day, $200 if you get shot by steel or rubber bullets. $500 if you are seriously wounded and your family will get $3,000 if you are killed. So, where would Hamas get that kind of money? They are hurting financially and don't have the kind of money necessary to run the program.
"We met some young men earlier cashing $200 checks they got from Hamas after being shot by Israeli forces on Friday. The severely injured get $500 and the families of the dead get $3000."
So, where did the money come from? Who is the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the area? Iran. Now, Iran's economy is very bad. There are no jobs and the infrastructure is falling apart. But Uncle Obama did send them pallet loads of money. It's a safe bet that they haven't used any of that money to help the people or to fix their infrastructure.
It's so good to finally have a president after 8 years of nothing.

Bearing in mind the mass protests that have rocked the streets of numerous Iranian cities for several months by poor and unemployed Iranians fed up with the mullahs' regime, and considering the nation's crumbling infrastructure, it is obvious those several billions of dollars weren't spent building up the country or helping the people.
Rather, it went into the pockets of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, where it was then distributed to Iranian-supported rebels and terrorists in hot spots around the globe, most especially Hezbollah militants in Lebanon and Syria, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, Shiite militias in Iraq and of course the Hamas terrorists in Gaza, among others.
Remember the Dead Palestinian Baby? Turns Out She Didn't Die from Israeli Fire

Timed to coincide with the Nakba, or "catastrophe," of the anniversary of modern Israel's founding — as well as the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem — Hamas incited protests and violent riots near the security fence that separates Gaza from Israel. The liberal media wailed and moaned about the dozens of dead — many of whom were Hamas terrorists — and thousands wounded from Israeli counter-protest gunfire and tear gas.
As evidence of the cruelty of Israeli security forces toward innocent Palestinians in Gaza, the media focused on a dead Palestinian baby. The infant's tragic death, however, turned into a propaganda win for the terrorist organization.
A prime example of what could easily have been written by the Hamas propaganda department itself was an article in the Los Angeles Times which lamented the death of the 10-month-old baby girl — Layla Ghandour.
But a former journalist for the L.A. and New York Times astutely noted that, buried midway through the blatant piece, it was revealed by a doctor in Gaza that the baby had died from a pre-existing heart condition.
The 16th paragraph of that report read: "A doctor at the hospital where Layla was treated said she had a preexisting heart condition that caused her death. He asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to discuss the child's medical history."
Left unstated is that he probably didn't want to be identified so he could avoid suffering the wrath of Hamas for undermining their propaganda victory with the liberal American media.
The preceding paragraph even cited Israeli military spokesman Ofir Gendelman, who stated without elaboration, "We have evidence casting doubt on the truthfulness of reports about the death of a baby girl in the Gaza Strip."
Nevertheless, even as the family acknowledged the pre-existing heart condition, they still blamed Israeli tear gas for the little girl's death.
Even if that were the case, blame would appear to fall on the shoulders of the girl's 12-year-old uncle Ammar, who was charged with watching the baby at home while the protests at the border took place. Still, he carried the baby there and proceeded all the way forward to the security barrier.
Several paragraphs later in that same article, it was noted that the dead baby's mother and father had lost a baby boy just a year ago to the exact same heart condition, due to the fact that the father couldn't afford or obtain the proper medication to treat the condition.
On a related note which reveals the sort of pure whitewashing propaganda this article was, the girl's father was described as being unemployed after he lost his job smuggling "food, medicine, weapons, fuel and other goods" through the illicit tunnels that connected Gaza with Egypt, prior to the Egyptians shutting those tunnels down.
The girl's mother was said to live with her grandmother and at least 12 other family members who all subsisted off a stipend provided by the Palestinian Authority because two of the grandmother's sons had "died in previous hostilities" with Israel. In all likelihood, that means those two men were members of Hamas or another terrorist group who had been killed while committing a terrorist act.
Hamas and their allies in the liberal media thought they could use this dead baby as a propaganda coup against Israel, but the truth surrounding the baby's unfortunate death reveals the Israelis were not to blame. Considering the false narratives and blatant lies that have been promoted by the media in regard to the Hamas-instigated conflict at the Gaza/Israel border, it is no wonder that the media has lost so much credibility among the American people.

Haley Scorches Palestinians, Blocks UN Meddling in Israel, Then Walks Out All in Matter of Minutes

And Haley was having none of it. In an eight-minute speech, she attacked Palestinian intransigence and blasted the U.N.'s notorious "double standard" when it came to judging the Jewish state.
The thousands of Palestinians who massed at the Israeli border, challenging border guards with slingshots, Molotov cocktails and rocks disregarded clear Israeli warnings beforehand that any attempt to storm the border would be met with deadly force.
"Who among us would accept this type of activity on your border?" Haley asked the other Security Council members. "No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has."
Haley then blocked a proposed Security Council resolution to investigate the violence, according to The Daily Caller. When Palestinian Ambassador Riyad H. Mansour began his remarks, Haley simply left the chamber. She couldn't have missed much, judging by Mansour's statements to reporters outside the U.N. before the meeting.
Maybe "peaceful" means something different to Palestinian ambassadors to the U.N. than it does to honest people. Or maybe hurling firebombs, launching fire kites and using slingshots to attack armed soldiers qualify as "peaceful" for Palestinians the same way Israeli soldiers firing to protect themselves and their country's borders qualify as "aggression" to world leaders who aren't named President Donald J. Trump.
Either way, they're lies. And Haley proved on Tuesday why Trump's selection to have her represent the county in the den of vipers known as the U.N. Security Council was right on target.
She's proven over and over that she's not afraid to stand up for the country, or walk out when it counts.

Report: Airstrikes Continue to Rain Down in Syria… Air Defense Deployed
Reported By Chris Agee | April 17, 2018 at 1:09pm

Syria has reportedly been hit with another air raid in the days since the government's latest alleged use of chemical weapons against its own citizens. A trilateral airstrike earlier this month was led by U.S., British and French forces with the support of the other 26 NATO member nations. Days later, the Jerusalem Post cited media reports within Syria that another round of air raids were reported Tuesday morning over specific military sites.
Advertisement – story continues below
Early Tuesday morning, the strikes were reported near the areas of Damascus, Homs and the Al-Sayrat airbase. A specific target reportedly included in the raid was Dumair airport, which is believed to be the site of Syrian and Russian military coordination. Shortly after the latest round of bombing, locals said Syria's air defense system was engaged, launching rockets with the intent of intercepting incoming missiles.
Some strikes, including one allegedly targeting the Shayrat airbase, have since been disputed by sources online. It was also unclear which military force or forces were responsible for the latest round of bombings.
Officials at the Pentagon denied the U.S. played any role in continued Syrian air raids following Saturday's campaign.
President Donald Trump thanked partner nations in a tweet declaring a "perfectly executed strike" just hours after it began early Saturday morning.
The Pentagon confirmed U.S. involvement in the strikes on three strategic targets. A statement indicated the mission was a "one-time shot" in direct response to the latest reports of Syrian citizens poisoned by chemical weapons.
Early social media reports, particularly from sources within Syria, suggested the Israeli military staged Tuesday morning's strikes. Israeli forces were also linked to another Syrian airstrike on April 9, days before the U.S.-led mission and just two days after the latest alleged round of chemical weapons use.
As the U.K. Telegraph reported, recent warnings have surfaced that the earlier attack blamed on Israel, in which seven Iranians were killed at a Syrian air base, could result in retaliation against the Jewish nation. (SEE BELOW) Israel said it targeted the T4 air base as part of its ongoing effort to prevent Iran from gaining a permanent position of influence within Syria's volatile military.
Military officials in Israel were reportedly on high alert Tuesday as a senior adviser to Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei pledged the deaths "would not stand without a response."
Israel had specifically identified the threat of an airstrike launched out of Syria by Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces.
One official confirmed that the military was focusing on the that military force as "most likely to be the designated unit that will try to wage an attack against Israel."
Iran Responds to Israeli Syria Strike, Says 'Date Has Been Set' for Their Destruction

Following reports of an Israeli strike on Iranian targets at Syria's T4 airbase last Monday, Iran warned of Israel's future destruction. The Jerusalem Post reported Tuesday that Iranian Army Ground Forces commander Brig.-Gen Kiumars Heidari said Iran's military is "much more powerful than before" and warned that "the date has been set" for Israel's destruction, according to official news agency Mehr.
An Israeli Defense Force official confirmed Monday that Israel was behind the attack on the Iranian air base. The strike was reportedly part of Israel's ongoing effort to prevent Iran from gaining a permanent position of influence within Syria's military.
"Israeli officials have repeatedly voiced concerns over the growing Iranian entrenchment on its borders and the smuggling of sophisticated weaponry to Hezbollah, from Tehran to Lebanon via Syria, stressing that both are redlines for the Jewish state," the Post reported.
The strike also followed an attempted attack from Iran on Feb. 10, "when an Iranian drone launched by a Revolutionary Guards Quds Force unit operating out of Syria's T4 air base, east of Homs in central Syria, was shot down with a missile from an Israeli Apache helicopter that was following it after it penetrated Israeli airspace," The New York Times reported.
IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis, said the drone's flight path and Israel's intelligence analysis indicated that its mission was "an act of sabotage in Israeli territory."
"It was the first time we saw Iran do something against Israel — not by proxy," a senior IDF official told the Times, adding that the strike on the T-4 airbase "was the first time we attacked live Iranian targets — both facilities and people."
According to the Post, Iranian Gen. Heidari "taunted others in the region by saying that — unlike countries such as Saudi Arabia which imports its arms from the West — the armed forces of Iran were produced locally."
Iranian Defense Minister Brig.- Gen. Amir Hatami had a similar message Sunday, saying that Iran had reached a point of "self sufficiency" in producing, supplying and exporting Iranian-made weapons. Iran's military budget in 2017 was 15.9 billion, up almost 65 percent from 2014, the Post reported.
Besides Israel's concern about Iran's influence on Syria, it is also worried that the country is "trying to build advanced weapons factories in Lebanon in order to manufacture more accurate missiles which are GPS-guided and could hit targets within a 50 meter radius."
In response to Heidari's threat, a senior IDF official told Sky News in Arabic that "Israel will react strongly to any Iranian action from inside Syria."
Israel's strike on the Iranian targets were largely overshadowed by the United States' strike on Syria on Friday, but as noted by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, tensions between Israel and Iran could lead to an even more dangerous conflict.
"Syria is going to explode. I know, you have heard that one before, but this time I mean really explode. Because the U.S., British and French attack on Syria to punish its regime for its vile use of chemical weapons — and Russia's vow to respond — is actually just the second-most dangerous confrontation unfolding in that country," Friedman wrote.
"Israel and Iran are now a hair-trigger away from going to the next level — and if that happens, the U.S. and Russia may find it difficult to stay out."

'Outrageous': Nikki Haley Just Sent Palestinian President a Brutal Message
Reported By Joe Setyon | January 25, 2018 at 3:11pm
URL of the original posting site: https://www.westernjournal.com/outrageous-nikki-haley-just-sent-palestinian-president-a-brutal-message/
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley blasted Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday for indulging in "outrageous and discredited conspiracy theories" regarding Israel.
Delivering her remarks at a U.N. Security Council meeting, Haley slammed Abbas for a speech he gave earlier this month, in which the Palestinian leader strongly criticized both Israel and the United States.
In that speech, Abbas said he did not want the U.S. to lead peace talks between Israel and Palestine. He also called the peace plan that the Trump administration is currently working on a "slap in the face," Fox News reported.
But Abbas wasn't done. In his two-hour-long address, he referenced events from centuries ago in an attempt to indicate that the Jewish state is nothing more than a "colonial enterprise that has nothing to do with Jewishness."
"The Jews were used as a tool under the concept of the promised land — call if whatever you want. Everything has been made up," he added, according to The New York Times.
Haley was having none of it. Responding to Abbas' "outrageous and discredited" ideas, she suggested that he does not have "courage" or "will" to seek a lasting peace.
"He rejected any American role in peace talks. He insulted the American president. He called for suspending recognition of Israel," Haley said.
"He invoked an ugly and fictional past, reaching back to the 17th century to paint Israel as a colonialist project engineered by European powers."
"A speech that indulges in outrageous and discredited conspiracy theories is not the speech of a person with the courage and will to seek real peace."
Haley also contrasted Abbas to former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who traveled to Israel in 1977 — a visit that eventually helped facilitate peace between Egypt and Israel. The U.N. ambassador referred to Sadat as someone who was "willing to step forward, acknowledge hard truths and make compromises."
"Where is the Palestinian Anwar Sadat?" she asked.
While emphasizing that the U.S. is "eager" for a peace deal to be reached between Israel and Palestine, she warned that America "will not chase after a Palestinian leadership that lacks what's needed to achieve peace."
Haley's remarks on Israel came the same day President Donald Trump said the U.S. might withhold aid for Palestine unless they "sit down and negotiate peace."
"When they disrespected us a week ago by not allowing our great vice president to see them and we give them hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and support — tremendous numbers, numbers that nobody understands — that money is on the table," Trump said from Davos, Switzerland, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his side.
"And that money's not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace."
African-American Leader Destroys the 'Palestinian Myth,' Proves Jerusalem belongs to the Jews

Bishop Aubrey Shines tends to make liberals very upset. Why? Because he refuses to side with them simply because society expects him to. When he disagrees with Democrat policies, plans, or ideas, he loudly explains why they are wrong and why they are wrong for the black community.
During the 2016 presidential election, Bishop Shines saw through Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton, and realized that Donald Trump offered him and his community the best opportunity for growth and prosperity. This led Shines to support Trump, drawing the ire of the majority Democrat black community in America, but thus far, Trump's policies have proven Shines right.
By most economic measures minority Americans, particularly blacks and hispanics, are already faring far better than they did during any point in the Obama era. (See here and here for the mathematical proof.)
However, Bishop Shines latest commentary isn't drawing the ire of the left for siding with Trump when it comes to the black community, no this time he's got liberals mad because he's siding with Israel.
In a recent video, Bishop Shines blows up the "Palestinian Myth," and explains why the Jews are the true owners of the land of Israel and the city of Jerusalem.
A partial transcript from Breitbart:
"You may be wondering where did this two-state solution idea originate from? And why hasn't it been implemented.
Briefly, in 1936 British leaders formed a commission that felt the best way to protect the Jews that were constantly being harassed by the Arab people, was to divide the land into two states, giving over 80% to the Arabs and the small 20% to the Jews. Jews accepted, the Arabs declined. In 1947 the U.N tried the same scenario, again, the Arab countries declined.
Arab nations began intensifying their efforts by attacking the small Israeli nation, but to no avail. In 1967 the leaders of the Arab nations met and unanimously decided they would never accept Israel under no condition other than their dead bodies rotting in the streets.
So, in 1967, the Jordanians (not the so-called Palestinians), along with its Arab neighbors, invaded Israel once again in the hopes that they would wipe out the remaining Jewish presence. Israel won that war and kicked out the Jordanians from the land they had illegally occupied almost two decades prior known as the West Bank."
This land has nothing to do with a Palestinian people; it was illegally part of Jordan for 18 years. 80% of the so-called Palestinians are Jordanian Arabs. Hence, there already is a 'Palestinian state' it happens to be called Jordan. Even in the year 2000 current president of Mahood Abbas was offered an additional 10% of the land for peace, of course he declined.
In 2005 the Jewish people gave the Gaza area away hoping peace would result in the gesture, instead the land has been used to attack the Jews by sending thousands of rockets into the communities that are only a few miles away, can you imagine sending your kids to school in the mornings or kissing someone you love before he or she goes to the office only to hear air sirens blaring in the streets or your office where you're working?
The fear that would grip your heart knowing you may never see your children or your love one's ever again?
Dividing your God given land by appeasing those that hate you, as well as, that desire to totally annihilate you hasn't been nor will ever be the best solution. Thank you President DJT for having the resiliency and tenacity to do what a dozen other presidents promised to do but lacked the courage to do."
Nobody Realized Trump Made Jerusalem Decision Exactly 1 Year After Obama Gave Holy Sites to Islam
Reported By Martin Walsh | December 10, 2017 at 8:50am

President Donald Trump's historic announcement on Jerusalem last week is even more special when Americans remember how former President Barack Obama stabbed Israel in the back this time last year.
In 2011, Obama began taking part in further escalating the tensions between the Israeli's and Palestinian's by siding with Islamic terrorists over our strongest allies in the Middle East.
As noted by the Tea Party, Obama's plans included Israel giving up large swaths of its land, including many holy sites, and the Arabs making "good faith" promises that they never kept.
Obama urged Israel to give the terrorist-supporting Palestinians half of Jerusalem, Old Jerusalem, Temple Mount, the Western Wall, and the Via Dolorosa.
Most notably, Via Dolorosa is the street in the Old City of Jerusalem that Jesus walked on the way to his crucifixion.
Obama's degradation of the U.S.-Israel relationship came to a head on Dec. 23 last year, when he used a United Nations Security Council resolution to effectively sign over the holiest sites in Judaism and Christendom to radical Muslim groups. The Obama administration even played a major role in writing the United Nations Security Counsel draft that put the move into action.
A year after Obama's treacherous move, Trump made history Wednesday by announcing that the U.S. would be moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Trump said the U.S. will officially recognize Jerusalem and the capital of Israel, a bold move former presidents only talked about doing but never had the guts to do.
Moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem shows that Trump is taking steps to bolster the United States' already strong relationship with the Jewish state.
Obama's self-defeating policy toward Israel for years proved he was a blundering amateur who refused to see how his decisions to disrespect Israel and take their holy land ruined the prospects for peace and further inflamed tensions in the region.
Israel has learned that it now has a true friend in the White House, and this historic move by Trump solidifies Israel's position as owner and ruler of the holy city.
After years of Obama supporting nations that fund terrorists groups across the Middle East, Trump has made it clear that the U.S. stands with Israel.
The rest of the world is learning that, too.

America One Step Closer to Defunding Palestinian Terrorists
Reported By Elliot Friedland | Sunday, November 19, 2017
URL of the original posting site: https://clarionproject.org/america-closer-defunding-terrorists/
Taylor Force was an American army veteran who was killed by a Palestinian terrorist while on a university trip in Israel.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee has just approved a bill called the Taylor Force Act which would strip U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority until it changes its policies on supporting terrorism.
What Is the Taylor Force Act?
Taylor Force was a U.S. veteran killed by a Palestinian terrorist while on a university trip in Israel. An officer who had served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Force was stabbed in Tel Aviv in March 2016. His killer was shot and killed at the scene.
The Palestinian Authority is paying a salary to the family of the terrorist who killed Force, as it does to the families of all terrorists killed in action by Israeli forces. Terrorists who are not killed or who are imprisoned receive salaries directly. The longer they are in prison the more money is awarded. Palestinian leaders have long defended these payouts.
"It is the right of all of the prisoners and martyrs who have struggled and sacrificed for Palestine to receive their full salaries from the PA," Hassan Abd Rabbo, spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization's Commission of Prisoners and Released Prisoners' Affairs has said.
Such payouts make up a significant portion of the Palestinian Authority budget. In 2017, the Palestinian Authority took in an estimated $693 million from international donors, but allocated nearly $345 to pay terrorists and their families.
According to the official congressional website, the Taylor Force Act will halt U.S. payments to the Palestinian Authority until that body:
is taking steps to end acts of violence against U.S. and Israeli citizens perpetrated by individuals under its jurisdictional control, such as the March 2016 attack that killed former Army officer Taylor Force;
is publicly condemning such acts of violence and is investigating, or cooperating in investigations of, such acts; and
has terminated payments for acts of terrorism against U.S. and Israeli citizens to any individual who has been convicted and imprisoned for such acts, to any individual who died committing such acts, and to family members of such an individual.
Although the Palestinian Authority is technically a secular nationalist organization in direct opposition to radical Islam, Palestinian leaders have long used Islamist rhetoric to incite the population to carry out acts of terror against Israel. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in 2015 slammed Jewish access to the Temple Mount saying, "Al-Aksa is ours and so is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. They have no right to desecrate them with their filthy feet. We won't allow them to do so and we will do whatever we can to defend Jerusalem."
Who Supports the Bill?
The bill enjoys bipartisan support despite being drafted by Republicans. The Senate bill was sponsored by Senator Lindsey Graham. Democrats were persuaded to support the bill after concerns that the U.S. would continue to provide direct humanitarian aid, such as paying for water, were addressed. It is predicted to pass and become law.
"With this legislation, we are forcing the PA to choose between U.S. assistance and these morally reprehensible policies, and I am pleased to see this measure move forward in both chambers with so much support," committee chairman Ed Royce (R-California).
The bill is also supported by a network of pro-Israel think tanks and political organizations.
Passing the act "will mark a vital step in the larger fight against terror, improve the lives of Israelis and Palestinians, and defend our values," Dr. Michael Makovsky, president and CEO of the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, wrote in The Hill.
How is the Bill Progressing?
The House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee passed the bill unanimously on Wednesday. The bill will now come before the House of Representatives for a floor vote. Parallel legislation has been introduced in the Senate and will have to pass both houses to become law. The Senate's version of the Taylor Force Act passed the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee in August.
The Taylor Force Act passed the committee alongside two other bills targeting Palestinian terrorism. One, the Hamas Human Shields Prevention Act, will impose sanctions on Hamas for its use of human shields. The other, the Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act, imposes sanctions on foreign persons, agencies and governments that assist Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad or any of their affiliates.

PATRIOTS: Should The U.S. WITHDRAW From UN Human Rights Council Because Of THIS?!
Published by ClashDaily.com | June 6, 2017

Is the UN 'Human Rights Council' a big joke? Read on and find out…
Our new UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley, has made it pretty clear that she's disgusted with the bias against Israel and the failure of the alleged 'Human Rights Council' to battle actual human rights abuses.
After the sham of the last meeting, the United States is now considering withdrawing from the anti-Israel Human Rights Council.
Highlighting what it deemed a 'biased' stance on Israel, UN ambassador Nikki Haley said the US was 'looking carefully' at its role on the Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
'The United States is looking carefully at this Council and our participation in it,' Haley told the Geneva forum in her first address. 'We see some areas for significant strengthening.'
She said it was 'hard to accept' five resolutions had been passed against Israel, a US ally, while none were considered against Venezuela, which is in the grips of bloody protests over the rule of its president Nicolas Maduro.
She called on the Council to address serious human rights violations in Venezuela and for President Maduro's government to give up its seat in the 47-member UN body unless it gets its 'house in order'.
It came as the UN's top human rights official Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein called on Israel to pull out of Palestinian territories captured in 1967.
This is par for the course at the UNHRC.
(Aside: Is it just me, or should you just simply not trust anything with the initials 'HRC'… Amirite?)
The UNHRC continually attacks Israel for existing, siding with terrorists, and completely ignoring human rights abuses by socialists.
She called on the Council to adopt 'the strongest possible resolutions on the critical human rights situations in Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Belarus and Ukraine'.
Haley went on to say it should 'follow up' to prevent further human rights violations and abuses in those countries.
Haley described the UNHCR as 'so corrupt' weeks after becoming Trump's ambassador to the United Nations.

This thing is a joke. As demonstrated by Saudi Arabia — a country with tons of human rights abuses and funders of terror — was re-elected to the council last year. Saudi Arabia, with their atrocious record of women's rights, was also elected to the United Nations Women's Rights Commission. This just shows you that the United Nations is a joke.
This is asinine. Why the hell are we still a part of this thing?
I agree with Krauthammer.
Don't even hold these sham meetings on American soil. Especially not in Manhattan. Turn the damned thing into Condos and make them meet in Bhubaneswar, or Caracas, or Mogadishu, or some other God-forsaken hellhole with no international airport — like Ottawa, Candanistan.
President Trump had denounced the UN as a 'club for people to have a good time', so take away the good time and the ones serious about these issues will stay to make a difference. Otherwise, it's just a lot of noise that's costing us a whole lot of money. And some pretty prime real estate.
You know what I think.
Do we need to withdraw from the UNHRC because of their anti-Semitism?

Palestinian Leader Calls for Killing of Israelis, Just One Week after Palestinians told Trump they Teach their Kids "Peace"
Reported By Onan Coca | May 31, 2017

Over the last few weeks President Trump has met with Palestinian Prime Minister Abbas a couple of times. The first meeting they had seemed to go pretty well, with the President happy to hear Abbas say that the Palestinian people wanted peace. However, between that meeting and their second meeting, President Trump learned that Abbas had been lying to him.
President Trump, never one for beating around the bush reportedly berated Abbas in their second meeting for having lied to him.
According to a report by Israel's Channel Two an angry Trump yelled at Abbas during their talks last Tuesday because of the Palestinian Authority's continued incitement against Jews and against Israel.
"You tricked me in DC!" the President was reported to have hollered at the stunned Palestinian, "You talked there about your commitment to peace, but the Israelis showed me your involvement in incitement."
Abbas then reassured the President that the Palestinian people wanted peace and that Palestinian parents were raising their children to be peaceful. As we know, this is a lie. We have seen the propaganda that the Palestinian schools teach their children, we have heard the songs that their children sing about stabbing Jews, and we have seen the TV shows where colorful puppets speak of the wonder of murdering Jews. But Abbas swore up and down that the Palestinian people just wanted peace…
So then why are his chief lieutenants writing op-eds telling their people to pick up guns and kill Jews? Just last week a member of the PLO's leadership published a piece urging his fellow Palestinians to find a way, any way, to violently revolt against Israel.
From Newsmax:
Issa Karake, the PLO's Commission of Prisoners' Affairs director, accused Israel of trying to kill Palestinian prisoners who ended a 40-day hunger strike the day after his article was written.
"They (i.e., the prisoners) are being murdered [by Israel] in silence, through an official and planned method," Karake wrote Wednesday on Prisoners' Affairs commission's website. "They are melting, bleeding, and dissipating. If one prisoner will fall, the entire world will fall. The world will die if a Palestinian prisoner will die . . . Break the pens, look for a gun and bullets. Do not look at your watches, the time is up . . . "
Two additional calls to arms were added when the Palestinian news site Al-Quds published the article a day later: "enough, let every one of us look for a gun and bullets."
Maybe this is what Abbas meant when he said they were teaching their kids about peace? Maybe he was saying that once the Palestinians kill all the Jews, there will be peace?
Wake up America. The Palestinians aren't an "oppressed" minority, they are a nation of terrorists hell-bent on murdering every Jewish person living in the Middle East. Israel could give them the West Bank and the Gaza strip tomorrow, they could pull all of their soldiers away from Palestinian territory, they could open the borders to allow Palestinian held territory to trade with whomever they want, and the Palestinians would simply use that as an opportunity to kill as many Jews as possible. How do we know? Because that is exactly what has happened every time Israel has given any concession, or signed any "ceasefire." The Palestinians never actually cease firing, and they won't, until the Jews are dead.
Israel is the good guy and we need to remember that.

A 23-year-old Christian tourist was stabbed to death by a Palestinian man as Christians gathered to celebrate Good Friday, ABC News reports. The attack comes as Christians around the world commemorate the day Jesus Christ was crucified and died, rising from the dead three days later on Easter — the highest Christian holy day.
The attack took place on a tram close to the Old City, where tourists from around the world have come to commemorate Easter and Passover. The woman died shortly after she was brought to a medical facility, despite efforts to save her. The 57-year old Palestinian attacker was apprehended by police.
Local media quoted witnesses as saying the man stabbed the woman multiple times. Reports said a pregnant woman was injured when the light rail came to a sudden stop. The attacker was apprehended by officers at the scene, police said.
Reports indicate two others were injured as well.
According to ABC News, Palestinians have killed 42 Israelis and two visiting Americans since September 2015. The Palestinian Authority regularly incites violence and acts of terror against Christians and Jews in Israel.
Governments around the world are taking steps to prevent attacks by radical Islamic terrorists over the Easter holiday. Authorities in Kosovo claim they have already intercepted plans for such an attack.

Donald Trump's new Congress looks to STOP funding UN in 'herculean' leap
January 6, 2017 By Kirsty Jane

The House Freedom Caucus, a group of conservative congressmen, are due to meet next week to decide between two possible proposals for the new law.
From Express
One possible course of action is to reduce United States' funding of the UN while the other would make funding voluntary with a mandate that any contributions must be agreed by the House every two years. Congressman for North Carolina Mark Meadows, who chairs the Freedom Caucus, said: "One is an incremental step; the other is really a herculean leap."
The move follows the UN Security Council unanimously backing a motion calling for the end of Israel building settlements on disputed land in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. In the past the US has vetoed resolutions it deemed were critical of the Jewish state but the outgoing administration under President Barack Obama made the rare decision not to vote. The resolution was passed by 14 votes to nothing last month.
The diplomatic move was seen as hugely controversial and led to widespread condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans. Mr Meadows stated the decision would help fuel support for the US to end its commitments to the UN. He said: "Israel is a bipartisan issue so I think that [if the proposal] is measured and appropriate we could pick up a lot of Democrats to support it as well."
Should the group get their way in Congress this would have a serious impact on the UN as the US contributes almost a quarter – 22 percent – of the UN's entire funding. The US contributed £480million ($594m) to the UN's regular budget plus an additional £1.9billion ($2.3bn) to the peacekeeping budget.
The move by the Congress group has also received support from senior Republicans in the Senate. The controversial Ted Cruz, a Texas senator who ran against Mr Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, said he believed efforts to introduce new laws to this effect would take place "very soon".

WTF: Look What Dems Are PLANNING 5 Days Prior To Inauguration – UNBELIEVABLE
URL of the original posting site: http://clashdaily.com/2017/01/wtf-look-dems-planning-5-days-prior-inauguration-unbelievable/
With THIS timing? You KNOW it's an attempt to hamstring Trump. What's the matter? Social elites haven't made a big enough mess of international affairs in the last few years? They are doubling down. What could POSSIBLY go wrong in this scenario:
"France will convene some 70 countries on Jan. 15 for a Middle East peace conference in Paris…and will invite the Israeli and Palestinian leaders to meet separately at its conclusion. France has repeatedly tried to breathe new life into the peace process this year, holding a preliminary conference in June where the United Nations, European Union, United States and major Arab countries gathered to discuss proposals without the Israelis or Palestinians present.
The plan was to hold a follow-up conference before the end of the year with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas involved to see whether the two sides could be brought back to negotiations and revive moribund peace talks. Netanyahu had repeatedly rejected the conference proposal.
"France is still determined to hold a conference in Paris to reaffirm the necessity of a two-state solution," Jean-Marc Ayrault told journalists. "January 15 is the date that has been fixed and 70 countries are invited. We are not going to give up now." A French diplomatic source said invitations would also be sent to Netanyahu and Abbas to meet French president Francois Hollande to outline the results of the conference."–Reuters
Why the hurry?
"France is still determined to hold a conference in Paris to reaffirm the necessity of a two-state solution," Jean-Marc Ayrault told journalists.
…The source said that with uncertainty surrounding how the next US administration would handle the issue it was more important than ever to deal with the issue.
"You can see that it's even more justified in this context," the source said. —Reuters [emphasis added]
Oh… THAT's why.
On a planet basically aligned against Israel (the lone Democratic state in the region), 70 countries will get together to decide what to do about the situation between Israel and its bellicose neighbor. With NEITHER party present.
And then the FRENCH government will announce their decision to Israel and Palestine?
How about USA, Russia and China get together and decide which city in France to assign to the new migrants that have flooded into Europe? Does THAT sound fair?
Maybe Paris. They're all there anyway.
Because that's what's going to happen here.
About 70 years ago, the fate of Jews was in the hands of Europe.
It didn't end well. What happened to 'never forget'?
