Shocking: 91.2% of Time Spent by the Israeli High Court is with Arab Complaints Against Israeli Citizens


 The Movement for Governance and Democracy exposed statistics on how the High Court allocates its judicial time.

The Movement for Governance and Democracy, established in 2013, is dedicated to preserving the balance between different components of democracy in Israel. According to its website, the association aims to safeguard majority rule, individual rights, governmental fairness, and transparency.

On Monday, the group tweeted a stunning message, titled, “What is the High Court actually busy with?”

These shocking data followed:

HIGH COURT PROCEEDINGS IN JANUARY 2025

  • Total Hearings: 216 hearings were held.
  • Hearings related to Judea and Gaza Arabs: 197 hearings, accounting for 91.2% of the total.
  • Total Petitions Filed: 546 petitions were submitted.
  • Petitions by Judea and Gaza Arabs: 436 petitions, making up about 80% of the total petitions filed.

We should point out that the majority of the NGOs that represent petitioners from Judea, Samaria, and since October 7, 2023, Gaza as well, are largely funded by governments and groups outside Israel, so that, like it or not, the Israeli taxpayer is funding a high court that caters to the petitions submitted by anti-Israel elements in Europe and America.

Below is a short interview (in Hebrew) with Attorney Iska Bina, from the Movement for Governance and Democracy:


Obama & John Kerry ‘systematically derailed’ FBI probe of Iranian terrorists while pursuing nuclear deal


 The Obama administration “systematically derailed” an FBI probe into Iranian terrorists — with then-Secretary of State John Kerry “personally” interfering to block arrests to score a nuclear-weapons pact with Tehran, show newly released bombshell emails.

Newly released unclassified FBI communications from 2015 and 2016 reveal how officials in then-President Barack Obama’s Justice and State departments stopped federal agents from enforcing US sanctions on Iran and set up “a shadow amnesty program that protected scores of additional Iranian criminals.”

The covert effort included the abandonment of “dozens of Iran-related investigations” by the FBI and related cases by federal prosecutors “after recognizing the State Department and DOJ obstruction would thwart effective enforcement efforts,” whistleblowers’ disclosures say.

“Secretary of State [Kerry] personally told DOJ officials that they were to stand down on an arrest,” a disclosure stated, directly contradicting his sworn testimony to Congress in July 2015 that Iran was being “restrained” from implementing its missile programs.

At the same time, Kerry’s State Department was negotiating and would later sign onto the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known as the Iran nuclear deal.

The agreement lifted economic sanctions and resulted in a prisoner swap between Tehran and Washington — while also coinciding with a subsequently revealed payout of $1.7 billion in cash to the Iranian regime and the release of 14 members of its Weapons of Mass Destruction and ballistic missile programs.

“Kerry and the State Department sold out the safety of Americans and our allies when they provided $1.7 billion in cash to Iran which, unsurprisingly, Iran used to continue development of their weapons programs and to better equip and fund their proxies,” the whistleblowers said.

“The death and destruction seen on October 7, 2023, [in Israel] is only one of the tragic results from providing this cash to Iran and from the State Department, DOJ leadership, and FBI Director Comey systematically obstructing Iranian investigations and prosecutions for years,” the documents say.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who chairs the Senate’s Judiciary Committee, released the whistleblower disclosures after a lengthy investigation, saying his findings revealed: “chilling evidence the Obama-Biden administration jeopardized our national security and demoralized the morale of FBI agents who were working to keep Americans safe.”

The Judiciary chairman said the re-election of President Trump would bring about a return to normal enforcement procedures and “restore American strength on the world stage and hold Iran accountable for its evil acts.”

During the Obama years, FBI officials became so concerned with the obstruction of their investigations into agents of Tehran that they took their worries to then-US Attorney General Loretta Lynch — who also refused to take action, according to the whistleblowers.

“We are all beside ourselves on asking the field to stand down on a layup arrest, however as it stands right now we all have to sit back and wait until all the US and Iran negotiations resolve themselves,” bureau official Louis Bladel wrote in a July 3, 2015, email, days before the JCPOA was signed.

State Department official Samantha Boyer slammed the administration for thwarting enforcement operations even after the deal, saying in a March 1, 2016, email: “[I]t’s a little like WTF that [an arrest is] being held up (if you’ll excuse the phrasing). However, it is what it is.”

Others such as FBI official Stacey Moye discussed compiling evidence of the administration’s interference “should there ever be a special investigation/hearing etc. on why FBI could not action law, and potentially prevent [a] national security incident.”

That Dec. 17, 2015, email was sent to DOJ lawyer Jay Bratt, who served as chief of the counterintelligence and export control section in the National Security Division.

Bratt resigned in January of this year after working on the cases brought against Trump by special counsel Jack Smith.

Reps for Obama did not respond to a Post request for comment. Kerry could not be reached for comment!

Trump’s speech has Americans dreaming — leaving Dems reeling

 






It set a record as the longest-ever presidential address to Congress, but it never lagged: President Trump delivered a tour de force Tuesday night, putting a coherent and reassuring frame on his insanely busy first weeks in office even as he made viewers laugh and cry — finishing up with an inspiring crescendo from the successes of America’s past and present to his promised new Golden Age.

Trump is beyond comfortable at the podium, shifting readily from casual and comical to formal and profound; he used all his talent to deliver a genuine barnburner — fundamentally reaffirming that he’s on top of his game and reveling in his work.

Democrats came off as hopelessly churlish, from Rep. Al Green’s indecorous ranting before his ejection to the pathetic round protest signs they held up all speech long to their insistence on sitting on their hands even for the most uplifting moments.

Moments like young cancer survivor D.J. Daniel learning he’d just been made an honorary Secret Service agent, or high-schooler Jason Hartley finding out he’d been accepted to West Point — with DJ rushing over in the gallery to shake his hand in congratulations.

All speech long, Trump offered common sense — two genders; hiring and promotion on merit; DOGE shutting down utter nonsense; a border closed without the bill that Democrats had insisted all year was the only possible solution; real prospects for peace with honor in Ukraine.

New presidents do such joint addresses in lieu of an official State of the Union speech, but this had none of the dry lists ticking off trivia of those affairs, even though the president didn’t shy from telling details to make a point.

He listed promises made and promises kept, with more promise-keeping well in motion; he joked and inspired, assured his base and baited the opposition; he spoke to the country and he owned the room. It was one speech on one night still early in his term, but Donald Trump did his cause and the nation’s as much good as he possibly could, assuring America that for all the sound, fury and (for many) confusion of the early going, he’s in total command and he has Americans dreaming.


Hypocracy! The Same UN Chief that Halted Humanitarian Aid to Yemen urges Israel to allow aid into Gaza without delay

 

United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday criticized Israel once again, this time over its decision to halt the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

“Humanitarian aid is not negotiable. In Gaza, it must flow without impediment,” wrote Guterres in a post on social media site X.

“The response needs to be adequately funded and civilians — including humanitarians — must be protected,” he added. “We have proven that, with access, the UN-coordinated response can deliver the aid that people need.”

Israel's political echelon on Sunday announced a stop to the entry of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip after the first phase of the ceasefire and hostage release deal.

The decision came in response to Hamas’ rejection of US envoy Steve Witkoff's proposal for a temporary ceasefire during the Ramadan and Passover periods.

Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem had said that his organization would not release the Israeli hostages held in Gaza except in an exchange deal that would be the product of negotiations on the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.

Guterres being critical of Israel has been a regular occurrence since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Several weeks after the massacre, the UN Secretary-General said that Hamas’ attack on Israel “did not happen in a vacuum” and appeared to blame Israel for the attack.

After his remarks were widely condemned, the UN chief claimed his comments were misinterpreted and that he had indeed condemned Hamas.

Later, he mentioned the sexual crimes committed by Hamas in its October 7 attack in Israel in the same breath as “reports of sexual violence against Palestinian detainees”.

Subsequently, Guterres appeared to equate between Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel and the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

More recently, Guterres last month called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and for the establishment of a Palestinian state, but made no mention of the difficult physical state of three hostages who had been released by Hamas that day after 491 days in captivity.

“Betrayed Leftist” Warns Of Situation In Yehudah And Shomron


 Avida Bachar lost his wife, his 15-year-old son, and one of his legs in Hamas’s massacre on Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7.

Like many other left-wing Israelis, he also no longer holds left-wing views about his Arab neighbors. But Bachar went a step further than many others, realizing that his former political views were not only faulty but came at the expense of his fellow Jews. In December, Bachar even said that it’s lucky that the October 7 massacre happened at Be’eri and not in Gush Etzion, saying: “I would have said, ‘Why do they live there?’ I might have said, ‘They deserve it.’ I would have said all the worst things in the world.”

Recently, Bachar warned that the danger terror groups pose to yishuvim in Yehuda and Shomron is much deeper than the Israeli public is willing to believe, saying that the situation is much more similar to the situation in Gaza than we imagine.

Speaking in an interview with TOV, Bacher said, referring to Palestinians in Gaza: “Take their land away. Take their land, don’t blink. Push them into Egypt…And if you think it’s better in Yehudah and Shomron? The answer is no. I’ll tell you a secret – under the hospital in Jenin there are exactly the same tunnels as under Shifa [hospital in Gaza]. Exactly the same. We’re burying our heads in the sand right now. They say: ‘No, it can’t be, we’re in control of the situation.'”

“You don’t know when it will be, you have no idea. Because always remember that a volcano will erupt again. When? You won’t know. But it will happen. I’m telling you it will happen if we don’t get rid of them.”

“I suffered endless torture in the bomb shelter for 12 hours. Next to me was my wife, who was murdered in the afternoon, and my son who was murdered around 4:30 p.m. I am a leftist who has been betrayed. A betrayed leftist is a murderer. He doesn’t see clearly. He has no compassion for anything. That’s what happened to me on October 7 – I turned into a betrayed leftist and I have zero compassion for anyone.”


Playing with Fire Hochul now says she will lead 'resistance' against Trump

 



New York Gov. Kathy Hochul now says she will be "leading the resistance" against President Donald Trump, just weeks after telling reporters the opposite.

Hochul said she would "fight back hard" during an interview with NPR’s "Morning Edition" on Monday when asked about New York City’s congestion pricing toll that the Trump administration moved to block last month.

"We offered up an olive branch, [we said] 'We'll work with you on infrastructure. Let's redo Penn Station,'" Hochul said. "Those areas were common ground. But once you draw first blood on us, we're coming back hard. And I will be leading the resistance on policies like these where you're hurting New Yorkers directly. This is our decision, not yours."

Last week she said 

"I’ve been asked countless [times] ‘are you leading the resistance?’ – No, I’m governing the great state of New York," Hochul said when asked about her stance toward the Trump administration, according to the New York Post.

The Trump administration last month ordered a stop to the controversial congestion toll program, which launched Jan. 5 with the goals of thinning traffic and funding mass transit by imposing a $9 toll on most vehicles entering Manhattan's core south of Central Park.

Later that month, Hochul met with Trump at the White House for a one-on-one meeting, in which the governor made a case for the program. But Hochul later said the meeting likely did not persuade Trump to change his mind about the program.

On Monday, Hochul also said that it's up to Democratic governors to be the "firewall" against the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress who threaten to slash federally funded social programs.

Hochul said that Democratic governors must heed the call "to stand up against this destruction of policies that are helping people and have been in place for decades."

Tragic: Father of Sofia Bungert H.Y.D 💔, Murdered at Nova, Takes His Own Life 16 Months Later

 





Sofia Bongart, 21, was killed by Hamas terrorists during the Nova music festival attack on October 7. 

Her father, Vladislav, deeply grieving her loss, visited her grave weekly, leaving red roses as she had wished. Tragically, he recently took his own life at 48, unable to bear the pain.

Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Tim Kaine, and Mark Kelly posted nearly identical videos word for word right before Trump’s speech.

Trump Halts All US Military Aid to Ukraine

 


President Donald Trump has halted all military aid to Ukraine, escalating pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky just days after a tense Oval Office exchange cast doubt on U.S. support for its key ally.

A senior Defense Department official, who spoke anonymously about internal discussions, told Bloomberg News that the aid freeze will remain in place until Trump determines that Ukraine’s leadership is making a genuine effort toward peace.
