Ambassador Nides Sits With the Convicted Felon Ehud Olmert As Long As he is Against Netanyahu

 

Last Tuesday, US Ambassador Tom Nides told Army Radio (US Ambassador: Netanyahu Will Be Invited to the White House after Passover) that Benjamin Netanyahu “is the prime minister, he is in charge, he was democratically elected, he is the prime minister of this country and the president has confidence that he will do the right thing.”

Also last week, an image that was posted by Itay a Lapid Official on Instagram featured mostly Itay, in a restaurant, but behind him sat Ambassador Nides and Ehud Olmert, one of the hardcore organizers of the anarchist protests. In fact, Olmert, who did a stint in a white-collar prison cell on corruption, is on the record as advocating moving the protests to real war, head-to-head war, the whole combat thing.

Olmert did his IDF service writing for the IDF magazine. Yair Lapid also did his army service there. Probably not much hand-to-hand combat was involved.

Now, this could be Photoshopped fake news, but according to Channel 14th Gilad Zwick, he inquired with the former prime minister/convict, who orchestrated the expulsion of some 8,000 Jews from Gush Katif back in 2005, and confirmed: “I had lunch with the American ambassador and we really enjoyed the food.”

Olmert was not the only man with violent ideations at that table. On March 3, Nides told reporters about Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “I’m really angry with him, he’s stupid. He has a flight to Washington with [Israeli businessman and former Likud MK] Danny Naveh and if I could, I’d throw him off the plane.”

Temper, Mr. Ambassador.

The Dark Side of Ukraine: Its History of Nazi Collaboration and Animus Towards Israel

 

As the war that Russia launched on Ukraine in early 2022 continues unabated, it has become abundantly clear that the international community of nations, for the most part, are throwing their support behind Ukraine as they battle for their survival against the Russian onslaught.

Earlier this year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky even addressed a joint session of Congress and is the recipient of tens of billions of dollars in US military aid.

Since the war began between Putin’s troops and the civilian army of Ukraine, the one nation that has provided extensive humanitarian aid to Ukraine but not military aid, despite the repeated requests and even demands from President Zelensky has been Israel. The question that begs to be answered is why has Israel taken this position of reluctance to in helping to arm Ukraine with technologically advanced military hardware.

Ukraine has had an historically adverse relationship with Jews and were unapologetically supportive of the Nazi regime during World War II. Moreover, Ukraine has consistently voted against Israel in the United Nations and has taken positions that foster the support of Israel’s hardened foes.

In January 2020, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel told Jerusalem to butt out of the debate about the country he represents honoring Nazi collaborators.

Here’s what happens next for Donald Trump now that he’s been indicted

 

Former President Donald Trump will likely dodge a perp walk but still be fingerprinted, have his mugshot taken — and possibly be led into Manhattan court in cuffs — following his criminal indictment by a Manhattan grand jury.

The stunning turn — marking the first ever criminal case against a former US president — will propel the country’s legal system into “unprecedented territory,” experts say — with court officials adding that the publicity surrounding the event will mirror that of convicted Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.  

The charges contained in the indictment were not immediately made public. But the grand jury that voted to indict the ex-president has been probing “hush money” payments made by Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen ahead of the 2016 election. Trump has vehemently denied any claims of wrongdoing.

Here is what happens next now that Trump has been indicted:

What is an indictment?

An indictment solidifies the charges against a defendant, meaning a grand jury has determined there is enough evidence to warrant a trial after reviewing testimony presented solely by prosecutors.  

Grand jury proceedings are held in secret, and their findings are usually first released by a judge at the suspect’s arraignment.

Still, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg could make the finding public beforehand, given the importance of the case. And there are always leaks.

“This is unprecedented territory,’’ defense lawyer and former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Bederow told The Post this month.

Charedi couple brutally beaten by Leftist protesters in Tel Aviv

 

A haredi couple who were driving through Tel Aviv on Sunday night found themselves in the midst of an anti-judicial reform demonstration. The demonstrators surrounded the car and proceeded to attack them, lynching the husband. Israel National News spoke with the victim's wife about the traumatic incident and the media's silence.

"We were in Tel Aviv. We wanted to go home. We didn't know that there was a protest. There were no police there. We wanted to turn left with another car, and we found ourselves in the middle of the rage," she recalls. "They banged on the car and shouted curses at us. There was no option to drive in reverse, and my husband stopped when he saw that the protesters were blocking the road.

When he stopped, they surrounded us again, banged on the car, and tried to break the windows. The whole time I was screaming so people would see that we were just a lost couple and not someone who wants to cause harm," she states. "My husband said he'll open the door so they won't break the window. We didn't do anything. What do you want? They began beating him up. They got into the back of the car since the back seat was folded down. They beat him, I saw the blood, and he told me, 'take me to the hospital. I can't see out of this eye, and I'm going to faint.' I cried. I asked them to let us go, and they just continued."
