Pro- Hamas J Street defends ICC warrants ..Meanwhile Trump team already preparing measures against ICC
The J Street organization published a statement defending the International Criminal Court's decision to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and claiming that accusations of antisemitism against the ICC are mistaken.
"J Street – the pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy movement – expressed deep sadness that we have now come to a point whereby the International Criminal Court feels it justified to issue arrest warrants for two top government officials, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and recently fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant," the organization stated.
"There will be many in Israel and in the American Jewish community who will look at all these actions within one 24-hour period and blame them on antisemitism or inherent enmity for Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people. This is the wrong response," it claimed.
"Israelis, instead, need to consider that many of its friends around the world are looking at the government of Israel’s actions in the wake of the barbaric terrorist attack of October 7, 2023, and are sending an unmistakable signal: You have gone too far. Change course. It is time for this war to end and to start creating a pathway out of this nightmare with the support of neighbors and partners all over the world," J Street stated.
US President Donald Trump's team is already planning punitive measures against the International Criminal Court in The Hague following the decision to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Kan Reshet Bet reported Friday morning.
Republicans ‘Want To Kill Your Kids’
Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin is facing fierce backlash after a clip from her podcast went viral, featuring an inflammatory claim that Republicans “want to kill your kids.”
“You have to boil it down to nuts and bolts, and you have to be pithy. What do I mean by pithy? How about this: Republicans want to kill your kids. It’s actually true,” Rubin said during the episode.
She justified the statement by referencing Republican positions on vaccines, medical research, and gun policies, arguing that these stances endanger children.
“If you’re going to oppose vaccinations, stop breakthrough medical research, and allow minors to get semiautomatic weapons — which they use to shoot up schools — well then, you are responsible for kids’ health and death,” she continued.
Rubin’s remarks ignited a storm of criticism. Conservative activist Robby Starbuck called for her dismissal, tagging Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos in a post on X, writing, “She should be fired over this if there’s any sanity left in the world.” Others accused Rubin of exhibiting “Trump derangement syndrome.”
Rubin also faced criticism for earlier comments on her podcast, where she labeled Trump’s cabinet picks as “unfit” and “reckless” and urged Senate members to block their confirmations. Conservatives decried her rhetoric as divisive and extreme.
Rubin’s latest controversy comes as the Washington Post faces internal and external scrutiny over its recent editorial policies. Last month, Bezos didn’t allow the paper to issue a presidential endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris, breaking with decades of tradition. The move was criticized by Rubin, who dismissed Bezos’s explanation and accused him of appeasing Trump to protect his business interests.
Rubin, who previously gained prominence as a staunch critic of the Obama administration, has shifted her tone in recent years, becoming one of the Biden administration’s most vocal defenders.

Senator Schumer Being Blamed for Enabling ICC's Repulsive Decision to Issue Arrests Warrants for Netanyahu

The International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant
The International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague issued arrest warrants this afternoon (Thursday) against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant.
The ICC explained that there is reasonable belief that Netanyahu and Gallant committed war crimes.
The announcement statement that Netanyahu and Gallant "bear criminal responsibility for crimes, including shared participation in acts committed with others – war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and crimes against humanity, including murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts."
In addition, "Netanyahu and Gallant each bear individual criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentional attack against a civilian population," it was written.
Since Hamas did not approve of the assassination of Mohammed Deif, the ICC also issued an arrest warrant against him.
Former Prime Minister, Naftali Bennet, commented on X that, "The ICC arrest warrants are a mark of shame not of Israel’s leaders but of the ICC itself, and its members. On October 7th, Hamas brutally attacked Israel, murdering, burning alive and raping over 1200 Israelis. Israel is fighting back the most just of wars against pure evil."
"All Israelis, left and right, stand behind the war whose goals are to release the kidnapped Israelis, demolish Hamas and restore security to Israel. Shame on ICC."
President Isaac Herzog said that, "Taken in bad faith, the outrageous decision at the ICC has turned universal justice into a universal laughing stock. It makes a mockery of the sacrifice of all those who fight for justice - from the Allied victory over the Nazis till today.
It ignores the plight of the 101 Israeli hostages held in brutal captivity by Hamas in Gaza. It ignores Hamas’ cynical use of its own people as human shields. It ignores the basic fact that Israel was barbarically attacked and has the duty and right to defend its people. It ignores the fact that Israel is a vibrant democracy, acting under international humanitarian law, and going to great lengths to provide for the humanitarian needs of the civilian population.
Indeed, the decision has chosen the side of terror and evil over democracy and freedom, and turned the very system of justice into a human shield for Hamas’ crimes against humanity.
This cynical exploitation of the international legal institutions reminds us once again of the need for true moral clarity in the face of an Iranian empire of evil that seeks to destabilize our region and the world, and destroy the very institutions of the free world.”

MSNBC ‘in a panic’ as NBC-parent Comcast plans to dump them — may have to change its name
Panic engulfed MSNBC headquarters on Wednesday after parent company Comcast confirmed a massive spinoff of its cable properties — with a top executive even suggesting the left-leaning network may be forced to change its name.
MSNBC stars Rachel Maddow, Chris Jansing and Katy Tur joined a tense 10 a.m. meeting at 30 Rock in Midtown led by NBCUniversal chairman Mark Lazarus, who will lead the new company, sources told The Post.
Staffers fearing looming layoffs peppered him with questions about if the network will need to change its name, logos and headquarters after reports surfaced that the new entity could be cut off from the reporting muscle of NBC News, sources said.
Lazarus told MSNBC staffers that he wasn’t sure if the network would have to change its identity or its home, according to insiders.
“Everyone is in a panic because everything is up in the air,” one MSNBC source told The Post.
Another insider close to the network added: “People don’t really know what’s going on. They had the election, holidays are coming up. People are tired and just trying to get through.”
MSNBC declined to comment.
Gag Order lifted! Flares At PM’s Home “Most Extreme Case Since Rabin’s Assassination”

The gag order on the details of the investigation into the suspects who fired flare bombs at the house of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Caesarea was lifted on Wednesday, revealing that the incident was a thoroughly planned “military” operation.
The details, published by Channel 12 News, reveal that the suspects, Rear Adm. Ofer Doron (res.), Amir Sadeh, and Itai Yafeh, longtime anti-Netanyahu rioters, whose names were released for publication on Tuesday evening, planned the incident for about three weeks. They operated like members of a military cell, carrying out surveillance around Netanyahu’s residence and monitoring the locations of security cameras in the area to plan a route that wouldn’t expose them to the cameras.
They gathered extensive intelligence and made meticulous and detailed logistical preparations for firing the flares. Doron procured the pyrotechnic equipment and distributed it to the others.
On that Motzei Shabbos, the suspects, led by Doron, drove to Caesarea, parked their vehicles on a side street, and began walking toward the target, moving in crouched positions to avoid exposure. When they reached about 200 meters from Netanyahu’s house, Doron instructed the other suspects to position themselves and even guided them on how to launch the flares “at a 60-degree angle.” Two suspects launched the flares while Doron and another man videoed them on their phones.
The launch was successful, and the flares landed in the area of Netanyahu’s house, one of them in the yard of the house. They left the scene immediately afterward, and at one point, they decided to split up after noticing a police car in the area, which was patrolling there without any connection to the incident.
According to a Lahav 433 senior official, the investigation began that night: “The Shin Bet provided technological tools that allowed us to track the suspects,” he said, adding that the launch of the flares, which are designed to be used as maritime distress flares was extremely dangerous. “A flare launched at sea in the open sea is a limited tool but in this context, it was a clear and immediate danger.”
“This is an incident we expect the State Attorney’s office to handle with a detention process until the end of the proceedings. It was planned as a meticulous military operation. This is the most extreme case against a symbol of government since the assassination of Rabin. If the incident is not treated with the utmost severity, it could send a dangerous message to the public.”
Even the Extreme Left Haaretz Reporter Writes that the Case Against Eli Feldstein is very weak! Yet they have him in a Terrorist Cell!
Indictments against two suspects in the “leaks case” at the Prime Minister’s Office are expected to be filed on Thursday by the State Prosecutor’s Office, with Attorney-General Gali Baharav Miara responsible for the final decision on what charges will be filed.
The suspects are former spokesperson Eli Feldstein and a former aide who has not been identified.
Journalist Caroline Glick wrote about the case: “Eli Feldstein, a spokesman at the Prime Minister’s Office is being railroaded by Israel’s corrupt deep state. The charge against him is that he went around the military censor and published Hamas documents that showed Sinwar was using hostage talks to overthrow Netanyahu and had no intention of freeing the hostages.”
“IDF chief of staff Herzi Halevi filed the complaint because the publication in BILD exposed the fact that he was lying when he said there was a deal to be had.”
“The military censor is Koby Mandelblit. His uncle, Avichai Mandelblit is the former Attorney General who indicted Netanyahu. All of the charges disintegrated in the courtroom. The prosecutors are the same lawyers who used prolonged incarceration to coerce Netanyahu’s advisors to turn state witnesses against him even though they had no incriminating evidence against him.”
Feldstein has been imprisoned in harsh and isolated conditions for 25 days in Ashkelon Prison, where he is surrounded by 12 cells of Arab criminals and is the only Jew among 15 Arabs in his ward. He has expressed fear for his life to his guards and is now on suicide watch due to the harsh conditions and isolation he has endured.
On Tuesday, the Shin Bet finally allowed Feldstein, to speak to his parents by phone ahead of the indictment on Thursday. Channel 14 reported that the parents described the conversation as “difficult and painful.”
Ynet reported that during Eli’s brief conversation with his mother, he told her about daily, prolonged interrogations that amounted to dozens of hours. He said that he was hooked up to a lie detector during the interrogations and endured “torments of soul and body,” as he put it.
His relatives say that he has been wearing the same clothes since his arrest and family members who tried to bring him clothes were held outside the detention facility for hours and eventually sent home.
Haaretz journalist Chaim Levinson said that the case has been completely blown out of proportion: “The more time that passes, the more the Feldstein case and the leaks are proving to be an inflated affair blown out of proportion,” he wrote. “A secret system [Shin Bet] that sees itself as the only one concerning ‘national security’ is flying off the handle over an event of disciplinary and administrative order. And the judicial system, which is supposed to oversee the security system, is capitulating and surrendering without exercising judicial oversight as it should.”
“I have certain knowledge that is prohibited from publication about why this particular document leak triggered the entire military information security apparatus. It’s good they investigated. It’s good they found the source of the leak and it’s good they are removing the officer from the IDF. The IDF has its own investigative authorities and appropriate minor military offenses for this type of case. Here, the secret police were involved. Why?”
“Not everything is the end of national security. Even if there is certain damage – and there probably was some damage – it doesn’t mean the sky has fallen. It’s not an Iranian spy who transferred nuclear secrets. It’s a few individuals with poor judgment.”
“They’re investigating this case as if they found Iranian spies within the IDF rather than irresponsible individuals. The rationale behind the ban on meetings [of the suspects with lawyers, family members, etc.] is that terrorists or spies are individuals who are trained for interrogations and are mentally and ideologically prepared for a thorough investigation and therefore should be pressured and isolated.
“I don’t think Feldstein fits the case,” he emphasized “There was no justification for preventing him from meetings, not for him…and not for anyone else… I hope that the system will come to its senses and be ready to accept some criticism, and to emerge from the madness surrounding this affair and return it to the proper dimensions.”
Chutzpah!!!! U.S. Stae Dept Condemns Itamar Ben Gvir’s Visit To Meir Kahane’s Kever
Crazy! Meir Kahana didn't kill anyone and in fact, he and his son were murdered, but "he was a terrorist" in fact if the Israeli Government had taken his advice we would have never had October 7!
The U.S. State Department issued a strong condemnation of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir following the publication of photos showing him visiting the kever of Rabbi Meir Kahane HY’D, a figure regarded as an extremist by the US.
In a statement, a State Department spokesperson said, “As we’ve said on previous and similar occasions, celebrating the legacy of a terrorist and a terrorist organization is abhorrent. We strongly condemn any attempt to whitewash acts of terrorism.”
The statement underscores ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Israel over the composition of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet, in which Ben Gvir serves as a controversial figure. The minister, leader of the ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit party, has faced criticism domestically and internationally for his hardline views and actions.
Extreme Leftists Media Publish Full Page Ads in Support of the Evil AG Baharav-Miara
Two months ago, the Chotam and Bochrim B’Mishpacha organizations submitted a petition to the Jerusalem District Court against Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Mirara and the Justice Ministry, demanding to reveal the number of times a government entity was forced to request alternative legal representation.
The goal of the petition is to reveal how often Baharav-Miara, who was hired to represent the government, presented a stance contrary to that of the government – forcing ministers to request private legal counsel.
The petition was filed after the organizations requested the data several times under the Freedom of Information Law but did not receive a response.
Michael Puah, the chairman of Bochrim B’Mishpacha, said: “Attorney-General Baharav-Miara behaves in a confrontational way, not only towards the Israeli government but also toward Am Yisrael. Her contempt for the law, as is evident from her conduct, is disgraceful. It is time to dismiss her and appoint an attorney-general who has the interests of the state of Israel and Am Yisrael in mind.”
In the wake of the recent outcry against Baharav-Miara after she was forced to appear in the Knesset per the law, including a huge banner slamming her lack of action against the constant incitement against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and members of his government, some leftists paid for full-page ads in support of the attorney general. The ads, which appeared in Israel’s major newspapers on Wednesday morning, featured a photo of Baharav-Miara and stated: “Continue to preserve the rule of law for all of us.”
Chareidi businessman Yaakov Halperin heaped scorn on the leftists who paid for the ads but hid their identities by signing – “Israel’s Business Forum.”
Speaking on Army Radio on Wednesday, Halperin said: “The ‘Business Forum’ doesn’t exist. It’s a few individuals who decided to take a crown for themselves. What’s the problem? Because I also have a business and others have businesses – but they included us in [the ‘forum’]. What did they do in the newspaper ads? They established that the attorney-general represents the ‘Business Forum.’ By what authority do you crown yourselves as a ‘Business Forum’?
Army Radio: “Or they could just put their business logos on it.”
Halperin (laughing): “Of course, they won’t do that because they’re afraid. These are people who took a scepter that doesn’t belong to them and included all of us in it. There’s no such thing as the ‘Business Forum’ – check the Companies Registrar, check the Nonprofits Registrar.”
Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana wrote: “I have news for the ‘Business Forum.’ She doesn’t guard the rule of law, nor for the sake of ‘all of us’ – rather, it guards the rule of the jurists, and those who have not yet come to terms with the idea of democracy.”
“The law is established by the legislative authority (the Knesset) through a decision made by the lawmakers’ (Knesset members) majority vote, who represent the sovereign (the people).
“It is possible to object to laws or lawmakers, and if the public wishes to replace its representatives, whether it is disgusted by their legislation, their actions, their behavior, or the color of their eyes – it has the right and opportunity to do so periodically.
“The rule of the jurists, who have taken powers and authority that the legislator or the public has never granted them, cannot be replaced by the public.
“And therefore, democracy is:
Yes to the rule of law.
No to the rule of jurists.”
US Vetoes UN Resolution Demanding a Cease-Fire in Gaza
The United States vetoed a U.N. resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the war in Gaza on Wednesday because it is not linked to an immediate release of hostages taken captive by Hamas in Israel in October 2023.
The U.N. Security Council voted 14-1 in favor of the resolution sponsored by the 10 elected members on the 15-member council, but it was not adopted because of the U.S. veto.
The resolution that was put to a vote “demands an immediate, unconditional and permanent cease-fire to be respected by all parties, and further reiterates its demand for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.”

Multiple DOJ, FBI Officials Weigh Lawyering Up in Fear of Being ‘Criminally Investigated’
Multiple former and current DOJ and FBI officials are considering hiring lawyers “in anticipation of being criminally investigated” by the incoming Trump administration, three people with knowledge of their deliberations told NBC News.
The preemptive initiative underscores a serious belief that President-elect Donald Trump will make good on his promise to purge the federal government of rogue and corrupt actors within the administrative state.
Last week, Trump transition adviser Mark Paoletta warned DOJ career attorneys that subverting, undermining, or sabotaging Trump’s incoming agenda will be cause for termination.
Paoletta cited examples of potential policies the DOJ might have to implement, such as deporting illegal aliens, securing the southern border, banning race-based affirmative action, investigating antisemitism, halting big tech censorship, and granting pardons and commutations to January 6 defendants.
“Everything we did was aboveboard,” a former senior FBI official alleged on NBC News. “But this is a different world.”
The term “administrative state” describes the phenomenon of unaccountable and unelected administrative agencies, including the national security apparatus, exercising power to create and enforce their own rules. The administrative state uses its rule-making ability to essentially usurp the separation of powers between the three branches of government by creating a so-called fourth branch of government not formed by the Constitution.
In October 2021 Trump signed an executive order (EO) to reclassify federal government employees into Schedule F, which would have allowed the president to enhance accountability, including job performance accountability, within the bureaucratic agencies. “You have some people that are protected that shouldn’t be protected,” Trump said in April about Schedule F.
President Joe Biden canceled the order in 2021, but with Trump’s victory, he could reimplement the executive order and purge the unelected technocrats artificially running the federal government. “It would effectively upend the modern civil service, triggering a shock wave across the bureaucracy,” Axios concluded in 2022 about the EO’s potential impact.
Many unelected bureaucrats within the administrative state use their position to inflict their own agenda on citizens. For instance, before the “laptop from hell” story broke in 2020, 51 intel officials signed a letter that insinuated Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation. Politico peddled the letter under the title “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” The 51 signatories, however, seemingly knew the Politico story was false at the time because the FBI had the laptop that Hunter had abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop. President Joe Biden cited the story during a 2020 presidential debate with Trump to discredit the laptop’s contents. The story was reportedly planted by now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken for Biden to use during the event.
