EU Drone Spying on Jewish Towns and IDF in Judea and Samaria

A crashed drone with a video camera that crashed Mount Hevron revealed a European Union (EU) spying operation intended to spy on and gather intelligence about IDF locations  Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

The video footage reveals that the drone was flying low over residents it crashed. Once it crashed it was recovered by residents in the area and taken to the Regavim Movement for Preservation of State Lands, where it was discovered that it was sent by the EU, in concert with residents of Arab villages to spy on Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria. The drone contained many espionage videos, some showing IDF bases and antennas.

The Regavim organization blamed this brazen act of espionage against the IDF and Judea & Samaria on the governments failure to  act against illegal Arab housing and construction in area C without permits which is forbidden by the Oslo Accords.

“What started as illegal construction continues and now is harmful to our security.” said  the head of the land division of Regavim, Oved Arad.

“For years the European Union was involved in illegal construction in Judea and Samaria. Now it turns out that EU officials, together with the Palestinians, are even documenting Israeli settlements and sensitive locations in Judea and Samaria. The Foreign Ministry must respond strongly and unequivocally against this activity, which crosses a red line and is very dangerous.”

Hollywood Values: Leftist Celebs Perform for Murderous Dictators, But Not Trump

Beyonce

As  our childish and biased media chuckles at President-elect Donald Trump's inability to attract some big name stars to perform at his upcoming inauguration celebration, there is a vital part of the story this very same media does not want to tell. The inconvenient part about how a number of these rich and famous celebrities, many of them Obama and Hillary supporters, have willingly performed in the past for murderous dictators, human rights abusers, and Russian gangsters.

Did you know that Beyoncé, who has performed live for both President Obama and Hillary Clinton, has also performed for the family of Libya's murderous dictator, the late-Muammar el-Qaddafi? For a fat seven-figure paycheck on New Year's Eve 2009, Bey belted out her hits for the Qaddafis at a lavish, champagne-soaked party. Also in attendance, her husband Jay-Z, hip-hop kingpin Russell Simmons, Usher, and Jon Bon Jovi.

The previous New Years Eve, Mariah Carey was paid $1 million to sing four songs for Qaddafi's son. In 2007, Nelly Furtado grabbed a cool $1 million to perform for the Qadaffi family.

Oh, and did you know rap superstar Nicki Minaj grabbed $2 million to perform for Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos, a noted dictator and abuser of human rights?

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly earned some $10 million selling her soul to "dictators and crooks."

Sting -- say it isn't so!

This says as much about Hollywood and our political media as it does these performers.

Believe it or not, it actually works like this…

If you perform for murderers and gangsters, your Hollywood career is in no jeopardy whatsoever.

But if you jump off the Leftwing Plantation to perform for America's next duly-elected president, you will face the silent blacklist, the one where people quietly back away from you, stop calling you, and no longer consider you for various jobs.

On top of that, there will also be the unrelenting public attacks. Sing the "Star Spangled Banner" for Trump and you are an automatic Other -- an instant pariah. Immediately, many in the national media will join your show-biz colleagues to condemn you as a non-person, a sell-out, a Nazi, or worse.

No less than CNN published this warning just last week:

Celebrities shouldn't lend their fame to normalize or validate Trump's history of racism, bigotry and sexism. And by being a part of his inauguration they would be doing just that.

They would be saying it's OK Trump demonized Latinos, Muslims and immigrants. They would be telling us they are cool with his sexist remarks and mocking of a disabled reporter. And that they are not disgusted by Trump bragging in the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape about his sexually assaulting women and then publicly shaming the victims of his alleged sexual misconduct who had the courage to come forward.

Translation: That's a nice career you got there, be a shame if anything happened to it…

But…

Shake your ass in a skintight outfit for the monster who shot down Pan-Am Flight 103 and its 270 passengers -- 189 of them Americans?

No problem.

Israeli left trying to sabotage Netanyahu........as Obama ramps up pressure on Israel

A prominent American Jewish jurist and Democratic critic of President Obama has accused the Israeli left and media of attempting to subvert the Israeli government, playing up investigations into the Netanyahu family in an effort to undo the Prime Minister’s electoral victory in 2015.

Professor Alan Dershowitz, a long-time Democrat who supported Obama until UN resolution 2334 and who is a staunch supporter of the Jewish state, attacked the recent United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria and strongly criticized the Obama administration both for allowing its passage and later justifying it in a speech delivered by Secretary of State John Kerry.

Since then, in an interview with Israel Hayom published on Sunday, Dershowitz took aim at the Israeli left and media outlets for what he described as attempts to use ongoing police investigations into the Netanyahu family to hobble the Prime Minister.

"[T]hey can't beat him through democratic means, so they're trying to use these investigations and the media to push him out of office. That would really undercut democracy. He's been elected by a proper method of election in Israel and he should be left to complete his term without interference. If there are issues they should be pursued after he leaves office.”

“I've never seen a situation where the media has been so obsessively focused on what appears to be the most trivial details -- whether a Prime Minister's wife helped care for her dying father, whether or not furniture should have been in one location or another location -- these are the kind of things that would never happen in the U.S. In the U.S., the White House pays for everything, and in Israel there's apparently a 200-page book about how you deal with costs in the Prime Minister's house.”

In its latest update, Judicial Watch, said that following Obama’s latest vacation in Hawaii, his travel costs over the last eight years have reached more than $96.9 million.

The Prime Minister’s wife, Sara Netanyahu, has been accused of misuse of public funds, allegedly purchasing furniture for the family’s private residence with money allocated for the Prime Minister’s Office. In addition, she was even accused by the media of not reporting the deposits on empty bottles which she returned to stores.

In a separate case, this November a report by Channel 10 suggested a possible conflict of interest in a deal negotiated by the Netanyahu government to purchase ballistic missile submarines from a German firm allegedly represented by an associate of the Prime Minister’s attorney. The deal, however, is between heads of government and went through all the proper channels.

While the allegations against the Prime Minister and his wife may or may not be valid, said Dershowitz, they must not be used to undermine a sitting Head of Government and prevent him from performing his duties, particularly during the current diplomatic crisis sparked by the UN Security Council resolution.

"The Prime Minister in this case has to work 24/7 particularly now, between now and the time when President Obama leaves office, to respond to the U.N. Security Council resolution, to the Kerry speech, to try to prevent another Security Council resolution - the idea that the Prime Minister is now going to have to be questioned about what appears to be relatively trivial incidents, really undercuts democracy."

Instead, argued Dershowitz, investigations into the alleged corruption charges should be delayed until Netanyahu leaves office. In the interim, he argues, the Prime Minister must be granted immunity from such charges.

"I think this reflects a general problem around the world when democracy is being undercut by investigations and media attacks on properly elected officials. I think there are investigations that should be delayed until after the public official, the prime minister or president of a country, finish their term of office.”

“The idea that he has to now take time from serving the people of Israel to prepare, work with lawyers, to spend hours with investigators, in what appears to be -- from everything I can see -- relatively trivial accusations; I mean, if they were serious accusations, the statute of limitations can be extended. Nobody is above the law, we all agree with that, but he can be held accountable after he leaves office. Not interfere with what's going on while he's in office. ... I think it's a mistake to be investigating the prime minister at this time. Let the investigation go forward, but the questioning should wait until he leaves office."

Daniel Friedman, Frum Former Monsey Councilman missing near Bear Mountain Bridge

New York State Police have confirmed they are searching for the body of former Ramapo Councilman Daniel Friedman who is presumed to have jumped off the side of Bear Mountain Bridge early Friday morning.

Friedman's car was found along the east side of the bridge in Cortlandt, said State Police Investigator Steven Connolly.

Although his body has not been located, Connolly said Friedman's family had been notified that he is the person they are searching for.

Currently, there are numerous agencies helping with the search that began around 4 a.m. Friday morning after video surveillance showed a person jumping from the middle span of the bridge.

"Our people have in the water for more than six hours searching for his body," Connolly said.

Friedman, a Democrat, joined the town board in 2010, hasn't been seen since police located his car.

Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco, whose office is working with the state police, said the case is difficult for him since he knew Friedman well.

Rockland County Executive Ed Day said he was stunned and saddened by the apparent sudden loss Friedman.

"While we may have been at the opposite sides of the political spectrum, I can say unequivocally that in his role at the Legislature, Daniel put politics aside and always worked for the good of the people of Rockland. May his memory be for a blessing," Day said.

State police plan to continue searching the waters until they locate Friedman's body.

Happy New Year

10 Lies Secretary of State Kerry Told During His Big Middle East Peace Speech

On Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry gave a speech on his proposed plan for peace between Israelis and Arabs. His plan: blame the Jews, pretend that Palestinian terrorism and incitement isn’t representative of the actual Palestinian government, and then blather for 69 more minutes. His speech razed facts to the ground in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan.

Here were ten of the worst lies and lies-by-omission Kerry purveyed in his ode to lying and self-indulgence:

1. Equating Jewish Settlements and Palestinian Terrorism. Israel has been wracked by a wave of stabbings and shootings and rocket attacks from Palestinian terrorists over the last two years. Kerry spent a few minutes on that, but only in order to draw moral equivalence with Jews building additional bathrooms in East Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. “The truth is that trends on the ground, violence, terrorism, settlement expansion, and the seemingly endless occupation, they are combining to destroy hopes for peace on both sides,” Kerry said. This is nonsense. Before there were any Jewish settlements – when Israel did not control Judea, Samaria, or Gaza – the Palestine Liberation Organization called for the “liberation” of Palestine, meaning the complete destruction of Israel. The problem isn’t people building homes. It’s Palestinians murdering Jews, and refusing to accept that any home built by a Jew ought to exist in the Middle East.

A shameful end to the Obama foreign policy.

by Elliott Abrams

In the Obama administration's waning days, global challenges to American interests abound. In Syria, which will be a bloody stain on the reputations of Barack Obama and John Kerry, the killing continues. The effort to free Mosul from ISIS is slowing. The rise of Iranian influence in the Gulf and the Levant, of China in Asia and the western Pacific, and of Putin's Russia in both Europe and the Middle East, all continue. One might have thought any of these could be the subject of a final address by the president or the secretary of state.

But one would have been wrong. John Kerry delivered what is probably the last major speech of the Obama administration Wednesday, and its subject was the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and especially the growth of Israeli settlements. So the Obama administration ends where it began: obsessed with Israelis and Palestinians as if their struggle were the key to peace in the entire region, and with construction of homes in settlements and in Jerusalem as if it were the major roadblock to a peace agreement.

9 questions about the UN vote on Israeli settlements you were too embarrassed to ask

A controversial new United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory has triggered a brutal and messy diplomatic fight between President Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and now President-elect Donald Trump.

The war of words got even nastier Wednesday, when Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a high-profile speech warning that Netanyahu’s settlement policy could doom any chance at a peace deal and threaten Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state.

“The status quo is leading toward one state and perpetual occupation,” Kerry warned. “The Israeli prime minister publicly supports a two-state solution, but his current coalition is the most right-wing in Israeli history, with an agenda driven by its most extreme element.”

Netanyahu immediately shot back that Kerry’s speech was “biased against Israel” and "obsessively focused" on settlements, and “barely touched upon the root of the conflict — Palestinian opposition to a Jewish state in any boundaries."

So who’s right? And why are both countries so angry? It’s a complex answer that involves geopolitical maneuvering, international legal issues, and a healthy dose of seemingly nonsensical diplomatic language, so you’d be forgiven for feeling a little bit lost trying to sort out exactly what’s going on.

If so, don’t worry: We’ve got you covered. What follows is a simple guide to the whole kerfuffle.

Kerry's Last slap and lies about Israel

Kerry: "Israel can either be Jewish or Democratic ....it cannot be both"
Din: What?    What the hell is he talking about?

Note: Kerry just drew a direct equivalence between Hamas terrorism in Gaza and Israeli settlements in West Bank

Kerry: The Israeli government is the most right wing in history. Driven by its extreme elements."
Din: From an administration who won't say: "Islamic Extremists"

Note: John Kerry entered public life 45 years ago slandering his fellow American servicemen. He leaves it slandering America's finest ally...

Clearly the only way to solve the Middle East crisis is to create another terror state backed by Iran.

Kerry: "Let's be clear .... settlement expansion has nothing to do with Israel's security" 

Kerry is delusional .... he promises that if Israel created Hamasistan, Muslim nations would ally with Israel 

Kerry spent 30 seconds on terrorism, and he spent 20 minutes on settlements!
