Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has not ruled out sitting with MKs Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud), Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionism), and Itamar Ben Gvir (Otzma Yehudit), but opposes the formation for a "fully" right-wing government. In an interview with Channel 13 News, Bennett said, "A fully right-wing government, in the current sense, is, in my eyes, a disaster, because it does not have the balances." He added, "Netanyahu, Bezalel, and Ben Gvir...in a different constellation, can be fine, but a government trapped in the hands of the extreme is horrible and awful, even if it is the other side." .....

Wildfires are continuing to rage around the country for the fourth consecutive day as Israelis start to prepare and pray for a peaceful Shabbat. More homes are being evacuated as new fires spread throughout the North and around the Jerusalem hills. On a positive note, most of the 65,000 Haifa residents who evacuated yesterday were cleared to return to their homes on Friday afternoon. A Greek pilot who arrived to help rescue crews extinguish the blaze, spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a news conference and noted that this was the second time Greece has come to Israel’s aid in extinguishing a wildfire. “We are your...

The civil rights group’s newly published platform holds that societal reforms in America are somehow related to the Arab-Israeli conflictOn Aug. 1, the Black Lives Matter coalition (BLM) of groups and partners published a platform of objectives and demands ostensibly constructed to correct heavy-handed policing, educational negligence, and economic inadequacy in black communities. That platform did no such thing. Instead, organizers offered up a hodgepodge of half-baked ideas in the service of creating a new world order, one in which defunding police, releasing all political prisoners from jail, and redistributing of land are imperative. Moreover, apparently believing that societal reforms...

EXCLUSIVE – Jackie Mason On Trump: ‘Israel Is His Favorite Thing’ by Breitbart Jerusalem13 Mar 2016 During a radio interview on Sunday, legendary standup comic and staunch Israel supporter Jackie Mason took issue with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) “I’m in shock that Cruz has the nerve to look him in the eye and accuse him of the exact opposite of what he said,” stated Mason, speaking during his regular segment on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” the popular weekend talk radio program. Continued Mason: Trump has been saying a hundred times, at every debate and on the street corners, every place...

It’s no surprise that the Iranian nuclear program talks are shaky; Guy has detailed the long, tedious, and sometime frustrating timeline of these diplomatic talks. So, given that we’re approaching the June 30th deadline–with the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei issuing demands that the U.S. could never agree to–what’s the military option, if there is one? The answer is MOP, or “Massive Ordnance Penetrator;” the largest and most powerful nonnuclear bomb we have in our arsenal (via Politico): …at least three times in the past year, a B-2 stealth bomber has taken off from an Air Force base in Missouri...

Which of course most definitely includes Judea, Samaria, Golan, Gaza, and its liberated capital city of Jerusalem.According to reports the EU's Islamist appeasing Catherine Ashton is concerned about Israel doing just that. As well they should.Ashton and her European collaborators are a bunch of dhimmi enablers of Islamic imperialism.Some key excerpts from the INN article:["Maja Kocijancic, a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, responded to the decision by saying, "The EU is concerned by reports in the Israeli media that the Israeli Minister of Defense has announced a number of restrictions affecting EU activities supporting the Palestinian people."Kocijancic...

In those first minutes, they'll be stunned. Eyes fixed in a thousand-yard stare, nerve endings numbed. They'll just stand there. Soon, you'll notice that they are holding their arms out at a 45-degree angle. Your eyes will be drawn to their hands and you'll think you mind is playing tricks. But it won't be. Their fingers will start to resemble stalactites, seeming to melt toward the ground. And it won't be long until the screaming begins. Shrieking. Moaning. Tens of thousands of victims at once. They'll be standing amid a sea of shattered concrete and glass, a wasteland punctuated by...

Perfidious Ben & Jerry's Ben & Jerry's can't stand an occupation:- Ben & Jerry's, a Vermont-based firm with a known philanthropic reputation (known to be left-leaning) had announced in 1998 that it would no longer purchase water from an Israeli company in the Golan Heights, which Ben and Jerry considered under illegal Israeli occupation. But that's because Israel is involved. Otherwise: Ben & Jerry’s Becomes First High-Profile Company to Support Occupy Wall Street.

The United States envisions a limited Israeli air strike on Iran. A conference by U.S. Central Command and the Washington Institute for Near East Policy concluded that Israel was preparing a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. In a report on the January 2010 conference, senior U.S. officers and strategists were said to have identified key Iranian targets in any Israeli strike. "If Israel were to take unilateral military action, it would be focused and short-lived, conducted via long-range bombing runs or missile strikes," the report, titled "The Perfect Handshake With Iran," said. "The most likely targets would be the...

Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Wednesday reiterated his view that Jerusalem must enter peace talks with Damascus in the near future, prefacing his message with a warning to Syria not to make a military gamble against Israel. “I’ve heard some statements about Syria. I do not recommend to any neighboring country, including Syria, to put us to the test. Having said that, I do believe a genuine negotiation with Syria is one of Israel interests. I keep on calling on [Syrian President Bashar] Assad – we all understand what’s on the table and the time is now,” Barak said during...

The jewicidal Marty Peretz, the archetype of the Jewish liberal, is SHOCKED! shocked, I tell ya, to find Obama is ........... anti-Israel. This asshattery would be knee-slappingly funny if the stakes weren't so high. The Jewish liberals helped deliver this misojudaist (Jew hater) to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and are responsible for the dramatic rise in global anti-Jewish life. Maybe I’m Getting Paranoid … About Obama Marty Peretz, TNR I just read the transcript of the president's remarks about Haiti, the ones he made on January 15. He noted that, in addition to assistance from the United States, significant aid had...

Syrian Vice President Farouk al-Shara estimated that Israel would not be able to attack Iran without the support of the United States. Speaking to heads of the ruling Ba'ath Party, al-Shara claimed Thursday that US President Barack Obama has tried to "restrain" Israel in order to prevent a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. "The Israelis, despite their (vast arsenal), were unable to force the Palestinian people in Gaza to surrender and wave the white flag, he said.

Should the Palestinian Authority (PA) be the main advocate pushing acceptance of the bizarre Goldstone report in order to demonize Israel at the UN or might it just stand aside and let a couple of dozen Arab and Muslim-majority states take the lead? This is—or should be—a minor issue but it has blown up to once again push the main reality of the Arab-Israeli conflict into everyone’s face. When the U.S. government asked the PA not to be the main sponsors of demanding UN sanctions against Israel, the Palestinian leadership agreed for a few hours. But then, unable to resist...

Born in Cairo (Egypt) in 1929 Yasser Arafat – the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (Haj Amin Al-Husseini, Hitler’s bosom buddy) niece’s little boy – soon became known as a “moderate” to the peace loving West. He was regarded as someone who was generally interested in ending the fighting with Israel while ensuring the rights of Palestinians. In spite of his murderous deeds against the Zionist Entity and the West (airplane hijackings, Achille Lauro, Munich, murdering American diplomats, etc.) in spite of wreaking havoc in Jordan and Lebanon (both countries had to throw him out!) somehow he was regarded as the...

Yes, gentle reader, I absolutely believe in the importance of religion in an individual’s life. While most wars have been started using a deity as the excuse, much good has come from religion. The sciences first appeared as a way to enhance religion, architecture gave us some imposing historical icons in the form of impressive temples that survived for thousands of years and still fill us with awe. Mathematics and astronomy started out as means to understand the heavens and thereby the gods. And so on… I am a deeply religious Orthodox Jew and I appreciate the value of religion,...

That the Conference of Major Jewish Organizations has bowed to Democratic demands to disinvite Sarah Palin from their protest of Iran is another sad chapter in one tragic problem of major jewish organizations that I thought was changing. For the longest time, a lot of Republican Jews felt Jewish organizations merely tolerated them, like the unwanted cousins at Thanksgiving. A lot of us thought that was changing over the years, too. Evidently not. The "seat at the table" was just that, an occasional seat at the table, with the treatment being that as a guest, not a full and legitimate...

Foreign Affairs Minister says two-state solution only viable when 'nakba' stricken from Palestinian lexicon while Opposition leader Netanyahu warns Israel must learn from past, refuse to give up land with no return Ynet "With the establishment of a Palestinian state, we wish to see the end of the conflict. The Palestinians will be able to celebrate their independence if on that same day they also strike the word 'nakba' from their lexicon," Foreign Affairs Minister Tzipi Livni said on Thursday afternoon in her speech at the president's conference in Jerusalem. Livni addressed the events being held throughout the day by...
