John Podhoretz of the New York Post Admits He Was Wrong About Trump

 Watching the historic agreement normalizing ­relations between Israel and two Arab states at the White House — an event neither I nor anyone else who has watched the Middle East closely for the past half-century ever really thought would happen — I had to acknowledge to myself how wrong I had been.

Back in 2018, when Team Trump announced it was going to move the US Embassy in ­Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, I didn’t think it was all that big a deal — even though I was and remain a resolute and ­unconditional supporter of the Jewish state.

I thought it was a nice gesture that acknowledged an undeniable reality, which is that Israel’s capital is Jerusalem. Moreover, the move was fully in keeping with the 1995 law that mandated the embassy move by 1999 — a law the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations had “suspended” every six months since 1999 on the largely spurious grounds that doing so would pose a danger to our security.

But the move didn’t mean much beyond that, I thought.

Oh, I was wrong — though I’m happy to say I was right in dismissing the doom-and-gloom warnings of the foreign-policy establishment about how destabilizing and dangerous it would be for the United States to make the move.

Eli Rozenberg 26 year-old, Now El Al Majority Shareholder

After speculation that has lasted months, it is now being reported that the new majority shareholder of El Al is a 26-year-old chareidi Jew, by the name of Eli Rozenberg.

The news, reported by Globes.com, came after El Al formally put their shares up on the public market on Wednesday.

Notably missing in the bidding process were Meir Gurvitz (MBD son-in-law) and David Sapir, who had previously expressed interest in purchasing the airline, leaving Rozenberg the sole bidder.

Rozenberg purchased 43% of the company’s shares, making him the controlling shareholder. The shares were reportedly purchased for approximately $100 million.

Eli Rozenberg is the son of New York businessman Kenny Rozenberg, the founder and CEO of Centers Health Care.

Eli had previously formed the Aviation Eagles Wings company while working towards purchasing the airline. In doing so, he famously recruited former US envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt to serve as his adviser.

Breslov Ladies Make Hafganah For Those Stuck At Ukraine Border, Blaming Deri For Crisis

 

Interesting... first they recklessly shipped off their toddlers to Uman ...now they are protesting ...In Israel its unheard that Chareidie women would go protest in public ....

but no one is messing with the Breslovers ...

In what has not previously been seen before in Israel, Chareidi women staged a protest on Wednesday afternoon.

The Hafganah was held outside the home of Minister Aryeh Deri in Haf Nof, Jerusalem. The women are blaming Deri for the crisis that has been unfolding the past few days, where around 2,500 Breslover Chassidim are stuck between Belarus and Ukraine, trying to make it to Uman for Rosh Hashanah.

There is a severe food shortage, and many children are among the group – some as young as three-years-old. They were sleeping on the cold concrete with no blankets, no food  or drink for a few days. As we reported earlier Wednesday, the Belarusian government set up huge tents and chemical toilets for the Breslover chassidim earlier today, and truck have been bringing food from Uman for the group.

On Tuesday Minister Aryeh Deri sent a letter to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, requesting that he allow the chassidim, who have been waiting at the border for two weeks in difficult conditions, into Ukraine for humanitarian reasons.

As of now, the Ukrainian Government is holding strong in their decision that no one will be allowed into Ukraine due to COVID-19. This entire group knew this prior to their trip.

In one video, a group of children are lined up in front of Ukrainian soldiers holding signs chanting “Bibi, Deri, Litzman go home” – as they blame the three for the crisis.

The art of the peace deal, Trump’s masterful détente:

Before Tuesday’s remarkable events began at the White House, Palestinians in the West Bank dutifully protested the decisions by the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain to recognize Israel’s right to exist. Later, during the ceremony, Palestinians in Gaza fired two rockets into southern Israel, inflicting minor injuries on two civilians.

The rage of the Arab Street ain’t what it used to be.

Even the limited expressions of anger were mostly for television cameras. The Palestinians could have had their own state several times over the last two decades, but could never take yes for an answer, so now the train of history has left them standing at the station.

They accuse their fellow ­Arabs of betrayal and stabbing them in the back. But in fact, it is two generations of Palestinian leadership that have betrayed their own people and forfeited their veto over peace.

They lost that veto because Donald Trump took it from them. The president, breaking the mold set by his predecessors. Still, he offered the Palestinians a deal, the “deal of the century,” he called it, but they responded with insults and intransigence.

Alan Dershowitz files $300 million defamation suit against "Fake News" CNN

 Famed attorney and Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz filed a defamation suit against CNN on Tuesday seeking $300 million for what he called a "willful, deliberate, malicious effort to destroy my credibility."

Dershowitz told Fox News that CNN selectively edited a clip of his remarks from the Senate floor during President Trump's impeachment trial where he broke down the illegalities surrounding a "quid pro quo" as a member of the president's defense team.

The Constitutional scholar alleges in the lawsuit that the news outlet propagated a “sea of lies” by re-airing only part of his quote, which he believes was part of a deliberate effort "from the very top" to frame him for claiming “that the President of the United States could commit illegal acts as long as he thought it would help his reelection and that his reelection was in the public interest," The Wrap reported.

"What CNN did here, and it pains me to say this because, you know, I have friends over there. What they did is they just totally doctored the tape," Dershowitz told Sean Hannity on Tuesday.

" If they had just show the part where I said if he does anything illegal he can be impeached -- Dershowitz trailed off, "but they doctored the tape to take that out."

Dershowitz said he plans to donate any awarding to "charities and to good causes," emphasizing that he's "not doing this for myself.

"I'm doing this to hold them accountable," he explained. "They made a deliberate, willful decision we believe from the very top to purposely doctor the tape to make it look like I said something that was crazy, that a president can do anything, that he can commit crimes.

"Of course I never said that -- I don’t believe it. I spent an hour in front of the Senate two days earlier saying if the president commits a crime he can be impeached and that was a whole thesis of my presentation," Dershowitz said.

"CNN knew that and they doctored the tape and edited the tape to make me say exactly the opposite. Shame on them," he continued,. "They’re going to have to pay and some good charities are going to benefit from CNN's willful deliberate malicious effort to destroy my credibility as a constitutional scholar."

CNN did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.

I Was Radicalized. Now, I've Dedicated My Career to Combating Anti-Semitism

 

by KASIM HAFEEZ

As I watch the trailer for the forthcoming documentary Never Again?, it's strange to 
hear myself talking about how I hated America and believed the Jews were responsible 
for all the evil in the world. But that was the reality of the person I was—a person I 
would be forced to confront during the making of this film. As I traveled to places of 
once-great significance in my life, especially after a long day of shooting, I became, 
in some ways, a spectator to my own life. I would remember the moments and details 
that led me into that darkest corner of the human mind, where one sheds any 
pretense of basic humanity in pursuit of an unjust and evil cause.
Thankfully, that person no longer exists. And in the 13 years since I changed 
my views, I've seen the world around me change—and the same ideology that once 
poisoned my mind grow, mutate and continue to poison the minds of young people
 all over the world.

It's important to note that my radicalization did not take place in a madrasa in Pakistan
 or a university in Damascus; I was born and raised in England. I was raised to hate 
in a country that should largely be proud of its ambition to be truly tolerant.

My grandparents had come to the United Kingdom from Pakistan in the 1960s in 
search of a better life. My British family was, and remains, devoutly Sunni Muslim. 
They settled, and I grew up in, a predominantly Pakistani Muslim neighborhood in 
Nottingham. Sadly, the insular nature of the community in which I grew up, which is 
mirrored  throughout both the United Kingdom and Western Europe, led to a situation
 where my grandparents would never learn to read, write or speak fluent English.

8 Indonesians who refused to wear masks forced to dig graves for COVID victims

 

Authorities in Indonesia have forced eight people who refused to wear masks in public to dig graves for coronavirus victims on the island of Java, the Jakarta Times reported Tuesday.

"We only had three gravediggers," the district governor told the newspaper. "So I thought we could put these people to work."

The governor said he hoped the move would deter other citizens from flouting public health orders.

Hell hath no fury like peaceniks who get upstaged

 by Ruthie Blum

Israeli protesters gathered on Sunday night along the highway to Ben-Gurion International Airport, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was headed to board a flight to the United States.

With their usual chants of "crime minister" and other trite anti-Bibi mantras, these self-anointed guardians of freedom and democracy – members of the so-called "peace camp" – were livid that the premier was on his way to Washington, DC.

That the purpose of his trip was to sign the U.-brokered Abraham Accords – a peace treaty with the United Arab Emirates and declaration of peace with Bahrain – didn't matter to them. On the contrary, it became another excuse for their outrage.

A mere two or so hours earlier, Netanyahu had announced that the steep and steady rise in coronavirus morbidity made a three-week countrywide lockdown necessary. As if this weren't sufficient cause for exasperation, even among his supporters, his detractors took the opportunity to rail against him for going off to a "cocktail party" at the White House, leaving Israelis ill in every sense of the word, thanks to his government's failed COVID-19 policies.

Yes, they insist, he is responsible simultaneously for the increasing mortality rate and disintegrating workforce – for opening up the economy too soon on the one hand and for not "having a proper plan" to prevent the spread of the virus on the other.

Chaos at Ukraine Border Where Thousands of Breslovers Are Left Stranded ... Sleeping on the Highway Like Dogs

No one has yet explained WHY these Breslovers ignored multiple explicit warnings on every form of media in EY and elsewhere, especially the Ukrainian foreign ministry website, that they would NOT be allowed in.

 Is there any rational explanation for adult yidden, presumably not suffering from any form dementia, to ignore such warnings and put themselves and in some cases little children at risk?

And who gave them a heter to bring little children to Uman? To torture them? Why do little children have to subjected to sleeping in dirt on the floor, with no showers? I would prosecute the parents or take their children away from them ... there are many people who cannot have children, I would hand the children over to them .. so they can be treated like humans... 

As of earlier today, hundreds of Chassidim are stuck in the demilitarized zone between the two counties Belarus and Ukraine and are facing Ukrainian soldiers on the border of their destination country. According to reports in the Israeli media, the situation between the soldiers and the Chassidim has become tense. The Chassidim are stuck without the option of returning to Belarus nor entering Ukraine.

Those present are calling upon the Israeli Foreign Ministry to intervene on behalf of the nearly 2,500 people stuck, including women and children. The food and water supplies available to the Chassidim are dwindling.
