From A for Agriculture to Z for Zionism:  Michael Ordman tells us: “One product to increase wheat yields has already been shipped to the US and another is in field trials. Israelis have developed an entirely new, tasty, and highly nutritious ready-to-eat vegetable; an energy-efficient method to extract proteins from plants; and the best-tasting vanilla ever.”

And: “a growing number of Jews who want to see their future, and that of their children, growing up in the Jewish State.”

He also informs us that there are increased opportunities for women in the Israel Defense Forces.

So BDS really defines Isrel’s army: “Brave, Diverse, Soldiers” rsk.

Member of US Army Joins Palestinian Islamic Jihad Operative for Ramallah Wedding Isayed Darawad dons the American flag while supporting Palestinian terror. Joe Kaufman

https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/08/member-us-army-joins-palestinian-islamic-jihad-joe-kaufman/

Convicted Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) member Hatem Fariz is back in Israel, once again leading a tour for his terrorist supporting friends. This particular trip has them attending different weddings. One of the attendees, Isayed Darawad, is a surprise, as he is a member of the US Army. And though he may wear green camos with a ‘Stars and Stripes’ patch, this is a man who believes America’s friend Israel doesn’t exist and wants to see her Jewish citizens dead. Why is Israel allowing terrorist operatives into her country, and why is the US allowing their supporters into the military?

In February 2003, the FBI announced the arrests of four individuals whom the law enforcement agency described as being members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a group recognized by the US government as being a terrorist organization. One of the individuals was Tampa-area resident Hatem Naji Fariz, a then-manager of a medical clinic. After a lengthy trial, Fariz pled guilty to providing material support to PIJ. Following his jail sentence, Fariz became managing director of Al-Qassam, the mosque founded by his PIJ co-defendant, Sami al-Arian, and named after one of the main inspirations for PIJ, deceased Palestinian militant icon, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam.

Through Al-Qassam, a.k.a. the Islamic Community of Tampa (ICT), Fariz runs a travel agency, the Adam Travel Tampa Hajj Group, which he uses to take excursions to Israel, a nation PIJ is sworn to destroy. Many of the people Fariz takes with him on these trips have like feelings towards Israel and Jews in general. They post videos on social media of Israelis being blown up during ambushes and videos of successful rocket attacks on Israeli civilian structures. They post memorials for their favorite dead leaders from Hamas and PIJ. They call on “Allah” to “take revenge on the Jews.”

Palestinians Commit Suicide as Their Leaders Live in Hotels and Villas by Khaled Abu Toameh

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18763/gaza-suicide-hamas

Many residents of the Gaza Strip undoubtedly regret the day they voted for Hamas in the 2006 Palestinian parliamentary election.

The last protest, which took place in 2017 under the slogan “We Want to Live!”, was brutally crushed by Hamas’s security forces and armed militias.

“In all countries of the world, you pay taxes for the services that the state provides you, except for us. In return, there are no hospitals, no education, no electricity, no water, no public utilities, not even rodent control.” — Khalil Talmas, Gaza Strip resident, Facebook, July 27, 2022.

“‘We Want to Live!’… is a cry of pain from the depths of a crushed and exhausted Palestinian people. It is a cry against taxes, extortion, repression and corruption.” — Anas Al-Jazzar, Twitter, July 28, 2022.

Other Palestinians said that the current protest was directed not only against Hamas, but also against the Palestinian Authority government in the West Bank….

These Palestinians pointed out the corrupt leaders of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority and their family members are leading comfortable lives in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and in five-star hotels and big villas in Qatar and Turkey, while most people were living in poverty and unemployment and misery.

“So the [Hamas] leaders’ families, their children, grandchildren do not believe in their own [political and military] project, and although they can live in Gaza in the utmost luxury, they choose to leave it for the hotels and villas of Doha and Istanbul. They left the hungry people of Gaza to live in poverty, deprivation and hunger.” — Mohammed Nashwan, Gaza Strip resident, alarab.co.uk, July 21, 2022.

[T]hese voices offer a glimmer of hope that the Palestinians are finally beginning to realize that their corrupt and incompetent leaders — whether in the Palestinian Authority or Hamas — are continuing to lead them from one disaster to another, while depriving them of the international aid that is rightly theirs and denying them a decent life.

It has been 15 years since the Islamist Hamas group seized control of the Gaza Strip, home to some two million Palestinians. Since then, the residents of the Gaza Strip have been reminded on a daily basis of the failure of the Iranian-backed group to provide them with decent living conditions.

Instead, the repressive governance of the Hamas leaders only brings the Palestinians in Gaza more misery.

The Lethal Indoctrination of Children in Palestinian Education How UNRWA-run schools incubate anti-Semitism and terror. Richard L. Cravatts

Signaling yet another unfortunate reversal of Trump-era policies, President Biden was in Bethlehem in the West Bank on July 15th to affirm U.S. support for the long-aggrieved Palestinians.

During that meeting with PA President Mahmoud Abbas, Biden suggested that “Palestinian refugees deserve to live in dignity, to see their basic needs addressed, and to have hope for the future,” and one remedy for their condition, of course, is U.S. aid, namely, “an additional $201 million for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) to continue delivering critical services to Palestinian refugees in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.”

UNRWA, the UN’s division dedicated solely to the Palestinian refugees, has been the subject of much scrutiny and criticism, which is why in 2018 the Trump administration eliminated further funding for the controversial agency. That approach was a good step, since UNRWA, established when some 400,000-700,000 Palestinians were made refugees with the founding of Israel, has perversely served as a political and diplomatic tactic by which the hapless Palestinians have languished stateless, as if in amber, used as a hammer with which to bludgeon Israel by blaming the Jewish state for the condition in which these refugees, including millions of the descendants of the original refugees, now find themselves. The slavish attention paid to this particular group of refugees suggests that their importance is based on the symbolic import of their existence as Israel’s victims, thus the budgetary and organizational commitment to UNRWA’s operations.

Specifically, UNRWA employs some 30,000 people to tend to the needs of only 5.7 million people identified as Palestinian refugees (or 190 refugees for every employee) while The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, the division responsible for every other refugee in the world, some 59 million people, has only 18,000 employees (3277 refugees for every employee).

GOOD NEWS FROM AMAZING ISRAEL FROM MICHAEL ORDMAN

This week I am speechless! The number of Israeli medical breakthroughs and protocols and technology that bring hope and potential cure to cancers is simply astonishing. Furthermore, Michael Ordman reveals that “ 1,500 US doctors use Israeli software to review patients’ data before they start a diagnosis and Israeli scientists have manipulated malignant leukemia cells to “start again” as normal cells and two Israeli startups have partnered to detect ALS before it gets started.”

BDS? Does it really mean “Before Diagnosis Strikes” Israel is working on the cure? rsk

 

ISRAEL’S MEDICAL ACHIEVEMENTS
 
It started here. (TY Irene) This article gives more details about the fecal microbial transfer (FMT) trial at Israel’s Sheba Medical Center in 2020 to treat terminally ill melanoma patients (see here previously). FMT trials are now underway in at least 30 global locations. The “gut feeling” is that one day it could save millions.

A tale of two women targeted by ‘dishonored’ ex-husbands Ruthie Blum

https://www.jns.org/opinion/a-tale-of-two-women-targeted-by-dishonored-ex-husbands/
 When details emerged of the murder on Tuesday night of 30-year-old mother of three Rabab Abu Siam in the central Israeli city of Lod, the first instinct of all the pundits was to blame the police force for sleeping on the job.
Abu Siam, an Arab-Israeli elementary school teacher, was shot to death by masked gunmen in the yard of her home, while her youngest daughter was sitting on her lap and her parents and other two children were inside. Everyone in her orbit assumed that the culprit was her ex-husband, since he’d been harassing her since their recent divorce.
Her precarious situation was known to welfare services and law enforcement. Social workers and police offered her as much protection as they could provide, such as a panic button for emergency calls and patrols near her residence. They urged her to move to a shelter for battered women.

She refused, opting instead to stay temporarily with relatives in the south of the country. But the arrangement didn’t last, and she returned to Lod, where she met her tragic end—after crying to a friend a week earlier that she feared something bad was about to befall her.

Though it was clear to all concerned that this was a slaughter of revenge by a man “dishonored” by the spouse over whom he felt he had ownership and deserved complete control, the police do not yet have sufficient evidence to tie him to or charge him with the crime. This is because he went abroad the day before the evil deed was done.

Ambassador Nides: ‘Nothing Political’ About Biden’s Visit to East Jerusalem But the visit became political when the Israeli flag on the presidential vehicle was removed. Hugh Fitzgerald

https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/07/ambassador-nides-nothing-political-about-bidens-hugh-fitzgerald/

Joe Biden’s visit to east Jerusalem, without any Israeli official allowed to accompany him, and with the Israeli flag on his car replaced with a Palestinian one, was not meant to send a political message about the status of Jerusalem, according to the US Ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides. A full report on Nides’ naively enthusiastic remarks is here: “Biden’s east Jerusalem visit was not meant as political statement – interview with Nides,” by Lahav Harkov, Jerusalem Post, July 18, 2022:

…“The capital of Israel is Jerusalem,” Nides said. “The president said it, I said it, it is the position of the US.”

But Biden did not say anything about Jerusalem being the “undivided” capital of Israel. He left open the possibility of a future Palestinian state with its capital in east Jerusalem. Some say that he semaphored vexilogically his support for that Palestinian capital to be placed in Jerusalem. 

Biden’s visit to the Augusta Victoria Hospital in Jerusalem on Friday was “a healthcare event, nothing to do with politics,” the ambassador said. “It had nothing to do with the status of Jerusalem. We could not have been clearer about it. Those who want to make it political, that’s their problem. It was about giving money to these hospitals.”

That visit became political when the Israeli flag on the Presidential vehicle was removed and replaced by a second American flag, when that vehicle travelled to the hospital in east Jerusalem. It became political, too, when the Bidenites refused to let any Israeli accompany the President on his trip to the hospital. These were meant, unhappy Israelis believe, as signs of support for the Palestinian claim to east Jerusalem.

Bennett’s bad precedent and the curse of Israel’s small parties Ruthie Blum

https://www.jns.org/opinion/bennetts-bad-precedent-and-the-curse-of-israels-small-parties/

Ever since the April 9, 2019 Knesset elections, foes of Likud Party chairman Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu—the longest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history and currently the head of the opposition—have been blaming him for the political quagmire that is sending the public back to the ballot box this fall for the fifth time in three-and-a-half years.

This chorus is made up of various voices inside the halls of parliament and beyond, with protesters and pundits of different stripes uniting around an aversion to a common enemy. The mantra-chanters in question claim that if Netanyahu would only step aside, all of Israel’s coalition crises would vanish, making way for a broad and stable government.

The past year’s “experiment”—with a government created for the sole purpose of “kicking Bibi out of Balfour” (the name of the street in Jerusalem where the official residence of the prime minister is located)—led by Naftali Bennett, whose party garnered just a few seats above the threshold, exemplified that the above assertion was completely false. Astonishingly, however, it is still being repeated ad nauseam, and by the same people.

You know, those who should be eating their hats, rather than parading around like peacocks.
Alas, the looming elections, slated for Nov. 1, have brought us back to square one. But it’s the “anyone but Bibi” crew and not Netanyahu who bear responsibility for the chaos.

GOOD NEWS FROM AMAZING ISRAEL FROM MICHAEL ORDMAN

Here we have another dazzling compilation of good news from amazing Israel:

So many “historic” events in this week’s newsletter. Israeli scientists continue to develop treatments that will confine today’s killer diseases and infections to the history books. Israel’s top General was warmly welcomed in Morocco on the first official visit by an IDF Chief of Staff. Israel, the USA, the UAE, and India held their first ever joint summit. Israeli agriculture technology is growing sustainable crops of historic proportions. Israelis have discovered new planets and an Israeli flying car has just made its inaugural flight. Sporting history was made when an Israeli won a World Championship marathon medal; Israel won its highest number of gold medals at the World Games and an Israeli team member won the 16th stage of the Tour de France. The Jewish Agency is hailing the current level of immigration to Israel as “historic”. Finally, archeologists have unearthed more Jewish history in Jerusalem. M.O.

My favorite this week is the news of the “Legends” distillery in Beit Shemesh, Israel.  With their “Slingshot” Kentucky Whiskey, named after David’s weapon against Goliath, they are literally making history! I love old fashioned Kentucky whiskey so let me just say L’Chaim! To Life! To the distillery, to Michael Ordman and to all of you! rsk

What is the state of the fake “state of Palestine”? Diane Bederman

What is the state of the fake “state of Palestine”?

It is on a course to crash and burn. The idea of a Muslim state called Palestine only came into existence when the USSR, under Khrushchev, wanted a foot-hold in the Middle East in the 1960’s.

This information comes from “SOVIET RUSSIA, THE CREATOR OF THE PLO AND THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE,” by Wallace Edward Brand.

It was the USSR against America during the Cold War. The 1960s and 1970s were the years the Soviets were in the business of creating “liberation organizations”: for Palestine and Bolivia in 1964, Columbia 1965, in the 70s “The Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia” that bombed US airline offices in Europe, and “The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine” that bombed Israelis. But the PLO, was by far its most enduring success.

In the PLO Charter preamble they actually had to use the phrase “Palestinian Arab People” to exclude those Jews who had retained a presence in Palestine since Biblical times and had been a majority population in Jerusalem as early as 1845. Romanian Communist dictator Ceausescu, at Soviet urging, persuaded Arafat to abandon his claim of wanting to annihilate the Jews in Israel in favor of “liberating the Palestinian People” in Israel.

Major General Ion Mihai Pacepa, highest ranking Soviet bloc defector, spoke of the creation of a fictitious “Palestinian People” who allegedly demand political self -determination. The account is also corroborated by Zahir Muhsein, a member of the PLO executive board. In an interview by the Dutch newspaper Trouw in 1977, he stated that there is no such thing as the “Palestinian People”, that the term’s use is a political ploy, and there is no quest for political self-­‐determination — that as soon as the Jews have been wiped out, sovereignty would be turned over to Jordan. Hafez Assad also has stated there was no “Palestinian People”; that prior to 1964 the Arabs in Palestine called themselves “citizens of Greater Syria”. During WWI the British offered the local Arabs self-determination if they helped in the war against the Ottoman Empire but the local Arabs fought on the side of the Ottomans to the eternal gratitude of the Turks.

This is from Pacepa’s article “Russian Footprints” in National Review Online.

“In 1972, the Kremlin decided to turn the whole Islamic world against Israel and the U.S. As KGB chairman Yury Andropov told me [Pacepa], a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on America than could a few millions. We needed to instill a Nazi-­‐style hatred for the Jews throughout the Islamic world, and to turn this weapon of the emotions into a terrorist bloodbath against Israel and its main supporter, the United States. No one within the American/Zionist sphere of influence should any longer feel safe.”

Now that we have established the “creation” of a fake people in a fake state, let’s move on to today.

Today, the Muslim Arab countries have no need for a Muslim “Palestine.” They are no longer in league with the Russia against the West. In fact it appears that the Muslim world is more at odds with each other: Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shia Iran. The Saudis do not want Iran to have a nuclear bomb which seems to be the desire of the Democrat Party in America along with Russia and China. When Donald Trump came along and began the miraculous Abraham Accords between Israel and the Arab world, the fate of the Muslims in their fake state no longer concerned them. With the Abraham Accords, September 15, 2020, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain charted a new course in the history of Arab-Israeli relations by recognizing the State of Israel and normalizing diplomatic relations. Later that year, two other Arab nations, Sudan and Morocco joined. The Accords establish a foundation for peace and collaboration that can be tapped into by any country interested in cooperation. Many in the Arab world realize that Israel is needed to protect them from Iran. And they see the greatness of the accomplishments of the Jewish people in the Jewish state of Israel, a state, a people, a religion, a culture for more than 3000 years:a state, a people that survived 3000 years of intense Jew hatred.

The Jew haters warn that “normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia without addressing the ongoing occupation of the Palestinian territories will worsen regional tensions.” They say “establishment of diplomatic ties between Israel and the UAE” is a betrayal. How dare the Gulf neighbors choose economic benefits and shared security concerns about Iran over their moral responsibility to the Palestinian people?

Arab Muslim countries have given billions to the Palestinians and the money has gone to their corrupt leadership, instead. The money has been used to promote the one thing in which they have excelled: terrorism; pay for slay, and teaching hate in their schools instead of, I don’t know, math, economics, co-existence.

A typical lesson in the PA schools.

“What should be done with the Jews who will survive after the liberation of Palestine?”
The answer: Extermination!

“We will sing and learn by heart: The Land of the Noble Ones
I swear! I shall sacrifice my blood in order to water the land of the noble ones
And remove the usurper [Israel] from my country and exterminate the defeated remnants of the foreigners [in Arabic: ubid fulul al-ghuraba’]
O, land of Al-Aqsa and the holy site [haram], O, cradle of pride and nobility
Patience, patience, for victory is ours and dawn is peeping out of darkness”

While the UN, the EU and America continue to support the PA, Arab financial aid to the United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has dropped by 90% in the past few years, according to the agency’s spokesperson Adnan Abu Hasna.

The awakened MENA, Middle East and North Africa, is busy working with Israel. Their gains by seeking peace with Israel will far outweigh anything they may gain by supporting what they all know is a fake people living on Jewish land as stated clearly in the Bible that Islam accepts.

What better proof of the détente between Israel and Saudi Arabia than the fact that President Biden took a direct flight from Israel to Saudi Arabia. This despite the fact that he and his Democrat cronies want nothing more than to disrupt the Accords by constantly referring to the needs of the made-up Palestinian people

And Saudis will also give permission for Israeli Muslims to take direct charter flights so they can participate in annual pilgrimages to Mecca.

Normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, the custodian to the Two Holy Mosques and protector of the Two Holy Cities is earth shattering in the Middle East. “It is an open secret that the Saudis have many quiet contacts with Israel and extensive cooperation in many important areas. These contacts take place both behind the scenes and increasingly out in the open, with many Israeli businessmen reportedly traveling to Saudi Arabia on Israeli passports in recent months. There will be broad support for a deal with the Saudis, particularly given that the deals with the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have proven so successful.”

Not reported in MSM (I didn’t hear it – did you?) the Saudi foreign minister announced this year at Davos, “We always envisioned that there will be full normalization with Israel.

The Saudis know they cannot trust America to stop Iran’s development of a nuclear bomb, but they can thrust Israel!

Another nail, a big one, in the coffin of “Palestine.”

Whoever thought that the cozying up to Iran by Obama and now Biden – his lackey, would lead to the fall of “Palestine”? America, along with China and Russia are supporting Iran. And that pushes the Sunnis into the arms of Israel. Arms that hold out the promise of peace and all the profits that come with peace.

Calling Israel an apartheid state, cries of BDS are just noise. The leaders of the Muslim countries in MENA will lead the way to the end of the fake state of Palestine. They know full well that the made up country of Palestine is really part of the state of Israel; since time immemorial.

There is one more benefit of the Abraham Accords: it has significantly reduced the amount of antisemitism in the media of Gulf countries and Morocco. And if this continues it will positively affect the world response to Israel.

Peace and prosperity will win out. Too many Muslim leaders know that their very existence in a world where three leading world powers, America, Russia and China stand with Iran; the country that calls for the death of Israel, Jews and America: that Israel is their protector. And that knowledge will drown out the noise of hate from “Palestinians” and their allies on the left, and calls for a two state solution.

Only one state will lead to peace and prosperity for the Muslim countries: ISRAEL.

The state of the fake “state of Palestine”?

With the continued support and promotion of the Abraham Accords, the normalization between Israel and the Arab world, the flight path for “Palestine” is Crash and Burn.
