“I don’t speak because I have the power to speak; I speak because I don’t have the power to remain silent.” Rav Kook z"l

In 1929, local Arabs massacred members of the Jewish community of Hebron, the second holiest city to Jews worldwide and home to the Tomb of the Patriarchs, burial place of the founders of the Jewish faith, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob and Leah.

In 1948, when the Jordanian Legion occupied Judea and Samaria, they wiped out all remnants of Jewish life in Hebron, destroying tombstones and pillaging leftovers of Jewish property. From 1948 till the Six Day War in 1967, the city of Hebron, along with the rest of Judea and Samaria remained free of Jews.

Following the 1998 Wye River Accords, the PA received control of a majority of Hebron with the Waqf getting the Tomb of the Patriarchs, including the entrance to the cave and Isaac and Rebecca’s cenotaphs. Since then, Jews have only been allowed to pray in the outer section of the building for the majority of the year and visit Isaac’s cenotaph in the main hall of the building just 10 days a year.

Last year, the government of Israel finally provided the Jewish community of Hebron permission to build in the uninhabited "Arab market" near the Jewish Quarter of the city - a building constructed by the Jordanians decades ago. Now, the community is planning to build 60 housing units along with a small motel to welcome Jews from across the world to spend time at the heart of one of the treasures of Jewish history.

You have an opportunity to take part in this endeavor to help right a historic injustice and allow the true inhabitants of Hebron to begin the rebuild of a once-blossoming community.

The approaching storm in US-Israel relations

 The question of who would fill what job in a Biden administration is basically irrelevant - his policies are basically set in stone. 

The day before the U.S. presidential election, the progressive Israel Democracy Institute published the results of a poll of Israeli Jews asked whether they believed President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden would be better for Israel. Some 70 percent named Trump, 13 percent chose Biden and 17 percent said they didn’t know.

Since Election Day, and since U.S. networks proclaimed Biden the winner, Israel’s media, along with its diplomatic and security establishments and political leadership, busied themselves by scouring the lists of candidates for senior foreign policy positions in the Biden administration and considering the implications of so-and-so’s appointment to national security adviser. The notion behind the name game is that the appointment of one person over another will significantly impact a Biden administration’s Middle East policy either in Israel’s favor or to its detriment.

There is nothing new about the name game. Israel’s political and national security leaders and its media know-it-alls play it every four years, and indeed, often personnel has been policy. For instance, when Trump replaced his first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, with Mike Pompeo, things changed. Tillerson opposed leaving the Iran nuclear deal and opposed moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Pompeo supported both.

But in the case of the apparently incoming Biden administration, who fills what job is basically irrelevant, and worrying about it should certainly not be a priority. Biden’s policies are basically set in stone.

Biden, his running mate Kamala Harris and his team repeatedly set out his Middle East policies, in detail, over the course of the campaign. And in the days since it became clear that Biden is far more likely than Trump to be inaugurated on Jan. 20, his advisers have restated those policies and, in some cases, have taken initial steps towards implementing them.

New York AG Threatens to Sue Trump Over Something He Didn’t Actually Say

 

New York Attorney General Letitia James is no stranger to frivolous litigation, whether it be her attempt to dissolve the NRA in New York, or her baseless attack on the Trump Organization.She’s outdone herself this time however, threatening to sue President Donald Trump over something he never actually said or threatened to do.

As The Blaze reports regarding her comments, which are mischaracterizing what President Trump said while giving updates on Operation Warp Speed yesterday:James accused Trump of “playing politics with people’s lives.”

“Any attempt by Donald Trump to deny New York access to a lifesaving #COVID19 vaccine will be met with a lawsuit, plain and simple,” she said. “Stop playing politics with people’s lives.”

In a statement, James further attacked Trump, accusing him of “vindictive behavior” and “trying to extract vengeance on those who oppose his politics.”

“If dissemination of the vaccine takes place in the twilight of a Trump Administration and the president wants to play games with people’s lives, we will sue and we will win,” she threatened.

Meanwhile, Cuomo accused Trump of being a “bully.”

As anyone who heard Trump’s comments themselves already knows, that isn’t what he said.

Iran Is Already Saying No to Joe Biden


 

Well, that didn’t take long. 

With Joe Biden set to be the next American president, Iran is already refusing to renegotiate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, which President Donald Trump abandoned in 2018 in favor of tougher sanctions.

Trump’s “maximum pressure” approach has severely hurt Iran, both economically and militarily. One would think, then, that Iran would jump at the chance to get back in the deal, especially since Biden has already expressed his desire to do so.

But there’s a hitch:

 Biden has his own demands. As Tom O’Connor reports in Newsweek, “Biden has pledged to return, but only if Iran restored some of the commitments it has since walked away from due to other participants’ failure to normalize trade ties with the Islamic Republic in the wake of the U.S. exit.”

WATCH: Antifa & BLM Accost Women, Children, Elderly, and Restaurant-Goers After MAGA March

Watch as this unfolds after the break on page 2 ... watch how BLM thinking they are still in the jungles of Africa attack innocent people coming from a rally .....  

Antifa and BLM wasted no time in accosting women, children, families, and the elderly as they walked down Washington, DC, streets after the Million MAGA March on Saturday. Protesters threw large fireworks and projectiles at restaurant-goers eating outside and flashed laser lights into hotel rooms.

DC Metropolitan Police blocked off BLM Plaza so Million MAGA March attendees could not go through. Trump supporters had to walk through a gauntlet of BLM, Antifa, and black bloc assailants in order to leave the area.

A black woman hauled off and sucker-punched a man carrying a Trump flag.

Rioters walked down the street and harassed an elderly couple while trying to rip a Trump flag out of their hands.

They threatened and harassed an elderly man walking down the street with a scooter. They pushed the scooter down and threw unidentified liquids at him.

They yelled, “Get the f**k out of here! You better run motherf**ker! You better run motherf**ker!”

Protesters attacked a middle-aged woman walking with other women and some Trump supporters. A black woman hit the woman in the back of the head.

A black mother with her young children wearing a Blue Lives matter hat and a Trump jacket frantically told police officers she wanted to press charges against her assailants. The assailants cornered her and asked her why she had her children there. She was pushing a child in a stroller and shielding her pre-teen daughter when she was attacked, reported Breitbart News.

Children walking down the street with their family were frightened by the mob and were crying.

BLM and Antifa assaulted, threw eggs and liquids at a young couple trying to walk through the BLM Plaza.  The female cried out in fear.

Breitbart News reported that protestors stomped on an older man’s head after the rally. A black man ran up behind the Trump supporter and bushwacked him making him fall to the ground.

As restaurant-goers were dining outside, Antifa and BLM threw large fireworks and projectiles at them.

New stats reveal massive NYC exodus amid coronavirus, crime

 

More than 300,000 New Yorkers have bailed from the Big Apple in the last eight months, new stats show.

City residents filed 295,103 change of address requests from March 1 through Oct. 31, according to data The Post obtained from the US Postal Service under a Freedom of Information Act request.

Since the data details only when 11 or more forwarding requests were made to a particular county outside NYC, the number of moves is actually higher. And a single address change could represent an entire household, which means far more than 300,000 New Yorkers fled the five boroughs.

Whatever the exact number, the exodus — which began when COVID-19 hit the city in early spring — is much greater than in prior years. From just March through July, there were 244,895 change of address requests to destinations outside of the city, more than double the 101,342 during the same period in 2019.

The escape from New York is fueled not only by coronavirus concerns, but economic worries, school chaos and rising crime, experts say.

Tax filings reveal Biden cancer charity spent millions on salaries, Zero on Research

 


A cancer charity started by Joe Biden gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show.

The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife Jill Biden to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington DC aides it hired.

The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group’s president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019), according to the charity’s most recent federal tax filings.

Simon, a former Pfizer executive and longtime health care lobbyist who headed up the White House’s cancer task force in the Obama administration, saw his salary nearly double from the $224,539 he made in fiscal 2017, tax filings show.

Danielle Carnival, former chief of staff for Obama’s cancer initiative, the Cancer Moonshot Task Force, who took home $258,207 in 2018.

The charity spent $56,738 on conferences and $59,356 on travel that year. The following year, the travel expenditure swelled to $97,149, and the non-profit spent $742,953 on conferences, tax filings show.

But under grants distributed, it listed zero.
