The Aug. 8 Mar-a-Lago Raid and President Joe Biden’s dystopian Independence Hall speech to start September began a transparent autumn effort to thrust former President Donald Trump back into the spotlight. Why you ask? Because Biden and Democrats much prefer to make the crucial midterm elections a referendum on someone not currently holding office than their party’s disastrous policies. Any Trump-related headline, they believe, can distract not only from Democratic debacles but Republicans’ superior plans for America should the GOP reclaim power. A recap shouldn’t be necessary, but the Reader’s Digest version includes Team Biden mishandling COVID-19 policies, letting teachers’...

The Bidenites want Israel to curtail its raids in the West Bank to arrest terrorists. The Israelis have firmly replied that they will continue their operations to capture terrorists in their hideouts and to seize those who are in the planning stage for such attacks, or otherwise aiding and abetting terrorist murderers. After a shooting attack on September 4 in the Jordan Valley left six IDF soldiers wounded, one of them seriously, Defense Minister Benny Gantz vowed to “continue to increase” Israeli activities in the West Bank, while Prime Minister Yair Lapid said security forces will “continue to reach anyone”...

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 (King James Version) If there is a conspiracy occurring worldwide there appears to be a rebuilding of the Islam Caliphate which was growing exponentially during the Obama years. You have to look at the elimination of the energy independence Trump built during the assistance of the Iranian American partnership as a part of this plan. While the entire world is watching the Russian-Ukrainian war the real danger is in the Middle East and...

The Israel Defense Force investigation concluded that there was a higher probability that Abu Akleh was killed by IDF fire than by fire from Jenin militants. However, a definitive conclusion as to who was ultimately responsible is impossible given the mangled state of the bullet that struck Abu Akleh and the persistent Palestinian refusal to cooperate with the Israeli investigation. The findings also make clear that even if the bullet came from an IDF rifle, Abu Akleh’s death was unintentional. The IDF was operating in a complex urban environment and came under fire from various terrorist gangs who often...

A renewed nuclear deal between Iran and world powers is “off the table” for the foreseeable future, President Joe Biden told Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid, according to a report in Hebrew media. Biden and other administration officials conveyed the message in a series of recent conversations with the Israeli premier, Zman Yisrael said.

According to the report, the latest draft,...

In Herzliya in Israel, people have begun a petition to try to save a modern-day hermit from being thrown out of his unusual dwelling, built in a cave on the coast.

But now the authorities want him to leave, saying he built without permission and is harming the environment. Nisim insists he will not leave his life’s work until he dies.
