70 Nations return to Paris to Condemn Israel ...... Prophetic Fulfillment

 

“They have said: ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Yisrael may be no more in remembrance.’ For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant.” Tehillim 83:5-6 "

High ranking officials from 70 nations of the world will gather in Paris on January 15th in an attempt to force Israel to accept a two-state solution with the Palestinian Authority. By so doing, they will be fulfilling a momentous Biblical prophecy foretold thousands of years ago.

When Israeli statesman Shimon Peres passed away in September, leaders and dignitaries from 70 nations gathered in Jerusalem to pay their last respects. The symbolism is no mere coincidence; the very same number of representatives will gather in Paris, but this time to deny the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel.

“Everyone knows already what the purpose of the conference is: it will be used as another opportunity to try to impose a settlement on Israel and avoid direct negotiations between Israel and it’s neighbors,” 

Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman, director of Ohr Chadash Torah Institute, told Breaking Israel News. “What’s interesting is that it isn’t just one or two enemies with a specific grudge, like the Arabs or the Nazis. It is 70 nations, which in Torah terms, means all of the nations,” explained Rabbi Trugman.

Rabbi Shimon Apisdorf, a prominent Jewish educator and bestselling author, told Breaking Israel News that seeing 70 nations written in the headlines caught his attention.

“There is no question that the aspect of specifically 70 nations gathering is significant, the point being Israel is not one of them,” said Rabbi Apisdorf, citing the book of Numbers.

Lo, it is a people that shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. Numbers 23:9

“We are fundamentally different,” stated Rabbi Apisdorf. “And as a light unto the nations, we are supposed to be separate and different.”

Rabbi Trugman understood a different message in the gathering of the 70 countries.

“There is no doubt this is a fulfillment of the prophecies that in the end of days, all the nations will come out against Israel,” noted the rabbi. He quoted the commentary of Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, an 11th century French commentator known by the acronym ‘Rashi’, on the first verse in the book of Genesis.

“1,000 years ago, Rashi said that in the future, the nations of the world will come and say we stole the Land of Israel. This is precisely what we are seeing now,” Rabbi Trugman said. “The majority of the nations say we have no claim to Israel, and the rest say we only have a claim to a small section of Israel.”

“Rashi told us how to answer this claim,” said Rabbi Trugman. “We need to remind them that the same God who created the heaven and earth gave it to them, and then he took it from them and gave it to us.”

The concept of 70 nations has its source in the 70 grandsons of Noah listed in the Bible.

These three were the sons of Noach, and of these was the whole earth overspread. Genesis 9:19

According to Bereshit Rabbah, a collection of homiletical teachings compiled around 400 CE, each nation is appointed an angel, except for Israel, which is protected by God Himself. According to Midrash Tanchuma, homiletical teachings believed to have been compiled around 500 CE, Jacob’s vision was of these national angels ascending and descending a ladder, determining the fortune of their nations.

And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. Genesis 28:12

Jacob’s vision is interpreted as a message that the nation of Israel was no longer part of this natural process. Though other nations will rise and fall, eventually disappearing into the sands of time, Israel will never disappear.

The concept of 70 nations also appears in reference to the 70 oxen offered in the Temple throughout Sukkot (the feast of the tabernacles) which the Talmud (Sukkah 55b) teaches are for the merit of the 70 nations.

In the wake of the recent United Nations Security Council resolution 2334 declaring Jewish housing in Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem to be illegal, the outcome of the Paris conference seems certain. A two-state solution would call for Israel to relinquish territories conquered in the 1967 Six-Day War, and subsequently create a Palestinian State. This would include establishing a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem, thereby removing the Kotel (Western Wall) and the Temple Mount from Jewish control. It is unclear whether the 800,000 Jews living over the 1949 Armistice Lines, comprising approximately 13 percent of Israel’s Jewish population, will be required to relocate, as they were when the Israeli government dismantled the communities of Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip in 2005.

Even if the 70 nations at the conference decide in favor of the two-state solution it is unclear how this plan will be practically implemented. On January 20, five days after the conference is set to take place, Donald Trump will take the seat in Oval Office, and he has already made his opinion clear that, like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he believes the only solution to be face-to-face negotiations without pre-conditions between the Israelis and Palestinians.

Demented John McCain actually dispatched a trusted aide across the Atlantic to get "Fake News" against Trump

Sen. John McCain said he did 'what any citizen would do' in turning the dirty dossier, which contained unconfirmed secrets about the president-elect, over to the FBI.

The Guardian charted the path of how the dossier came to be and how it was that McCain got his hands on the controversial documents. 

The story of the dossier began with an investigative firm in Washington, D.C., being tapped by one of Trump's primary allies to dig up some opposition research on the Republican hopeful. 

In turn, that firm outsourced the research to a 'retired western European former counter-intelligence official, with a long history of dealing with the shadow world of Moscow’s spooks and siloviki (securocrats),' explained the Guardian. 

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal identified the ex-spy as Christopher Steele. 

By the time the contractor had started digging, Trump's primary opponent had dropped out. But the firm found a Democrat who wanted dirt on the now Republican nominee instead. 

The Guardian pointed out that just because a Democrat was willing to pay for the information that didn't mean that said Democrat was Hillary Clinton's campaign or the Democratic National Committee.

Sometimes donors seek out this information in order to ensure they've made a sound investment. 

The contractor, who the Guardian didn't name, but the Wall Street Journal identified as Steele, reportedly found the information that he dug up to be concerning. He and another ex-British diplomat, Christopher Burrows, run their own company, Orbis Business Intelligence.

'If the allegations were real, their implications were overwhelming,' the Guardian wrote.  

So over the summer he delivered the intelligence he had gathered from his Russian sources, living within the country and also in the west, to former colleagues in the FBI. 

The Guardian suggested he also delivered the documents to his country's own intelligence service.  

As fall approached, and he heard nothing about any FBI investigation into the documents, he was persuaded to tell journalist David Corn, of Mother Jones, of their existence. 

On November 18, at the Halifax International Security Forum, McCain was introduced to a 'former senior western diplomat' who had set eyes on the documents and knew who put them together, telling the Arizona Republican that the individual was 'highly reliable.'

From there, McCain dispatched a 'trusted emissary' who flew across the Atlantic to meet the source of the documents at an airport that the Guardian did not name. 

The U.S. official was instructed to look for a man with a copy of the Financial Times  and that's how the individuals met, with the source taking McCain's emissary back to his house and gave the American a copy of the documents. 

Within 24 hours, the dossier was in Washington, though the contents of the file couldn't be verified without an investigation. 

McCain, the Guardian said, was worried that his meddling might be interpreted as revenge for some of the controversial comments Trump made about him – such as knocking the fact that the longtime senator had been a prisoner of war. 

However, McCain decided to hand over the documents to FBI Director James Comey on December 9.  

 'Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI,' McCain said Wednesday in a statement about that matter. 

'That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue,' McCain said.

Hidden Chambers of the Me'aras Ha'Machpeilah ....

One of the caves found beneath the Tomb of the Patriarchs. (Courtesy Noam Arnon)

Thirty-five years ago, a small group of Jews set out on a difficult and dangerous mission: to prove that the Biblical account of a cave in Hebron was true. One of those men tells of what they found: a secret chamber under the site, evidence that refutes the United Nations version of history supported by most of the nations of the world.

Of all the holy sites in Israel, the Machpela (Cave of the Patriarchs) in Hebron has special significance as being the oldest. A burial site for the three patriarchs and three of the matriarchs – Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, and Jacob and Leah –  it marks the origins of all three Abrahamic religions.

The Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron.

Dominated by a large, aboveground stone structure, visitors to Hebron are left wondering about the cave described in the Bible. A cave does exist, and even though its entrance is in plain sight, very few people have ever been inside.

Graham and Cruz Introduce Resolution to End Taxpayer Funding of UN--Unless...

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) announced today they are introducing a resolution to end all U.S. taxpayer funding for the United Nations "unless and until" the U.N. reverses a measure condemning Israel.

CNN "Fake News" : Trump

Avi Shafran ...one of the "meraglim"!

Avi Shafran

"Rabbi" Avi Shafran , the Agudah blogger, has outraged the frum Jewish community with his naive, stupid, and arrogant column in Hamodia. 

I decided not to write about the anti-Jewish Satmar "editorials" that appeared in Der Yid and Der Blatt, because the writers have been poisoned by their irrelevant leader and founder of their Chassidus.... 

In their sick editorials they praised Obama's refusal to veto the UN Resolution against Israel, and they lauded John Kerry's  lies in his anti-Semitic rant explaining the US abstention vote in the UN! 

Every rational Jew knows that Obama hates Satmar Chassidim with the same fervent hatred that he has for the State of Israel! He would just as soon see Kiryas Yoel burned down to the ground as he would the State of Israel,..... In the eyes of Obama ...the two feuding Satmar Brothers are equal to Bibi Natanyahu!

But these Satmar fools who are great  in making Chicken soup Shmaltz Herring, and throwing towels on their shamash on Chanukah, have no clue about World politics and are only concerned with their overwhelming hatred of their fellow Jews living in Israel, and have teamed up with J Street and Reform Jewry to backstab Jews in Israel!

Avi Shafran is whole different animal, who comes across as a knowledgable representative of the Agudah, but is really pandering and tuchislekking the stupid Romanian gypsies. 

In his latest column on his blog and printed in Hamodia he babbles that Obama and Kerry love Jews and backs the US abstention of the UN resolution!

Below is his crazed naive post loaded with lies that Al Jazzira promotes .....he ends his lies with that his readers should 

"hatznea leches and hakaras hatov, not snubbing, sneering or insults."

Yet any person with a pulse sees that his rant is not "hatnea leches" and has no "hakaras hatov" ....

True or False?

• The U.S. abstention to the recent U.N. resolution was the first time an American administration declined to veto a Security Council resolution critical of Israel and opposed by her.
• The resolution is groundbreaking, and pledges the territory captured by Israel in 1967 to a Palestinian state.
• It would remove Yerushalayim and the Kosel Maaravi from Israeli sovereignty.
• It is one-sided, placing the blame for the stagnated peace process squarely on Israel.
• President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry have sold Israel out.

The first four are demonstrably false.  The fifth, too.

Please don’t read further if you are not willing to consider a perspective different from the one you expect from this rightly respected newspaper and other “pro-Israel” news sources and organizations, including the wonderful one that employs me, Agudath Israel of America, which, like many other Jewish groups, condemned the U.S. abstention.  I am resolutely pro-Israel but not necessarily in agreement with every Israeli administration’s positions.  And, as I have pointed out on several occasions, while I proudly represent Agudath Israel, and convey its stances to the public and media, I exist as an individual too, and I write in these pages and in others from my own personal perspective.

Still here?  Good.

Since the Six-Day War in 1967, there have been 42 U.S. vetoes of Israel-critical resolutions – but, over the course of eight U.S. administrations, including the Reagan and George W. Bush years, more than 70 “yes” votes or abstentions. The recent Security Council abstention was noteworthy, though: it was the Obama administration’s first non-veto of a critical-of-Israel resolution in its eight years, the lowest count of any president since 1967.

The recent resolution has no practical effect and takes no position that has not already been taken by the Security Council (and most of the world’s governments).  It does not determine borders; it only reiterates the tired truism that Yehudah and Shomron are “occupied” territory.  Technically, that is not entirely accurate, since the land was not under any state’s legitimate sovereignty before its capture, but it is true that, of all the captured territory, only Yerushalayim was annexed by Israel.

And Yerushalayim’s status, although not recognized at present by the U.N., will not change in negotiations, should the peace process ever resume.  As Secretary of State Kerry said in his detailed post-vote speech, there must be “freedom of access to the holy sites consistent with the established status quo.” He reiterated that point, too, a moment later, declaring that “the established status quo” at religious sites must be “maintained.”

U.N. resolutions concerning Israel have long been consistently, notoriously and laughably one-sided.  This one, though, as it happens, while calling on Israel to stop building in settlements, calls too on Palestinians to take “immediate steps to prevent all acts of violence against civilians, including acts of terror” and to “to clearly condemn all acts of terrorism.”  That, at least for the U.N., is in fact groundbreaking.

As to Messrs. Obama and Kerry, consider a thought experiment.  Imagine – just as a theoretical possibility – that they both actually care deeply about Israel.  In fact, over his nearly 30 years in the U.S. Senate, Mr. Kerry was a reliable, stalwart and unapologetic defender of Israel.  Pretend that Mr. Obama is of similar mindset.  (Which he is, but if you’re convinced otherwise, just pretend.)  And that they both believe, honestly and deeply, that (whatever you or I may hold to be true) only a two-state solution can ensure Israel’s security and integrity, and that continued settlement-building gives the Palestinians an excuse (unjustified, but still) to not engage in peace negotiations.

What would the two men then rightly do, with only days left for their administration, if a resolution reiterating the world’s objection to that building activity and calling for negotiations were put on the Security Council table?  Veto it, against their convictions about Israel’s wellbeing?  Or try to send a message, as they prepare to leave the world stage, about what they feel is best for Israel?

They might be entirely wrong about that (although they might be right).  And, yes, the overwhelming blame for the lack of peace is unarguably on the Palestinian leadership and populace.  And yes, all of Eretz Yisrael is bequeathed to the Jewish People.

Still and all, the American leaders’ determination to issue a final, passive call for what they believe is in Israel’s best interest does not bespeak disdain for Israel, but precisely the opposite.

Which is why all the shouts of “betrayal!” and “traitors!” and “complicit!” are so very wrong and so very sad.  This is an administration that has stood by Israel time and time again for eight years, and that mere months ago forged a 10-year, $38 billion military aid package for Israel, the largest for any U.S. ally ever.

One can consider Mr. Obama and Mr. Kerry (and most Israelis, as it happens, because a clear majority are in favor of a negotiated two-state resolution) misguided, if one must.  But one cannot slander them as Israel-betrayers.  Must everyone be either “with us” or “against us,” “friend” or “enemy”?  Can no one be with us and a friend but with a different perspective than our own?

What the outgoing U.S. administration wants from Israel isn’t capitulation to her enemies.  What it has always sought is a sign of willingness on the current Israeli government’s part to simply act decisively on its declared commitment to a peace process aimed at a two-state solution.  To be sure, even a restarted peace process is far from assured of success; there are many issues that could prove intractable.  And yes, there have been moratoriums on “disputed territories” building in the past, to no avail.  But an acceptance of yet another one, instead of a continuation of the recently accelerated pace of building, will put the ball again in the Palestinian court, and offer something to an angry world.

Yes, that world is unreasonable, obnoxious and ugly.  Not to mention ridiculously hyper-focused on Israel, when so many truly unspeakable true human tragedies exist elsewhere, ignored.

So why, so many ask, should its opinion matter to us?  That sentiment is what Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu expressed when he said, in the wake of the Security Council vote, that “Israelis do not need to be lectured of the importance of peace by foreign leaders” and that “Israel is a country with national pride, and we don’t turn the other cheek” and that he has had “enough of this exile mentality.”

And it is what he expressed, too, by summoning ambassadors of countries who voted for the resolution, and the American ambassador as well, to reprimand them, on the day that Christians consider the holiest on their calendar.  “What would they have said in Jerusalem,” an unnamed Western diplomat later fumed, “if we summoned the Israeli ambassador on Yom Kippur?” Think hard about that.

It may feel gratifying to snub one’s nose at real or perceived enemies. Personally, though, I am atalmid, so to speak, of Rav Elchonon Wasserman and Rav Reuvein Grozovsky, zecher tzaddikim liv’racha, not of Reb Bibi Netanyahu.  I believe that we are indeed in exile, in galus; that “secular Jewish nationalism” is wrong and dangerous; and that a modicum of modesty is demanded of all Jews, especially those who claim to represent other Jews.  I believe that humility, not arrogance (and certainly not “kochi v’otzem yadi”) should be the operative principle of Klal Yisrael, and of anyone who deigns to lead a “Jewish state.”

Maybe, with the help of the Trump administration, Israel will be able to cow the 2.8 million Palestinians in “the territories” into submission.  And maybe Hamas will not be able to seize whatever peace-seeking Palestinian hearts and minds are left.  Maybe all will be well, Israelis will sleep safely and the fears of the Obama administration will prove to have been without warrant.

Maybe.

But whatever may happen in the future, what the present requires of us, al pi mesoraseinu, I believe, is hatznea leches and hakaras hatov, not snubbing, sneering or insults.

Terrorists kill 4 in Yerushalayim

An Israel Police spokesman has reported at least 4 killed and 13 wounded after a truck rammed into pedestrians in the Armon HaNatziv neighborhood in Jerusalem.

MDA EMTs and paramedics reported that all four of those killed - three women and on man - are approximately 20 years of age. Of the 13 living victims, three are severely injured, one is moderately injured, and nine more are lightly injured. All were transferred to either Shaarei Zedek or Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospitals in Jerusalem.

Police units at the scene are investigating.

Yakov Kaminetzki, a volunteer with United Hatzalah's EMS ambucycle unit reported, "When I arrived at the scene I saw a number of pedestrians who were run down by a large truck near the Armon Hanatziv Promenade. Some of the pedestrians were unconscious and trapped underneath the vehicle. I requested that the dispatch and command center send additional assistance including fire and rescue services as well as additional EMS responders due to the large number of injured persons. Near the vehicle were a number of other pedestrians who had sustained various degrees of injuries some of whom were in serious and moderate condition."

SHOOTING AT Ft Lauderdale Airport .... AT LEAST 5 DEAD

Gunman in custody after shooting nine - and killing three - at the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport

A gunman is in custody after a deadly shooting at the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport. 

Sources tell NBC Miami that nine people have been shot and three people have died. 

An airport spokesman said that the center of the incident was in the baggage claim area of Terminal 2. It does not appear that the shooter breached the TSA-secured area of the airport. 

Video from the airport Friday afternoon showed hundreds of passengers corralled together on the tarmac with emergency vehicles parked outside the terminal with lights flashing.  

Minutes later, he said police tol dhim there was just one shooter. By 1:30pm, the scene had settled.   

'All seems calm now but the police aren't letting anyone out of the airport - at least not the area where I am,' Fleischer wrote. 

The airport is one of the top 25 busiest airports in the nation.  

Obama Builds Wall around his new home!

President Obama is taking a cue from Donald Trump ... he's building himself a wall.

We got photos of construction at Obama's soon-to-be D.C. rental. You also see construction in the garage.  It will become an office with a bathroom.

The rental will be home until Sasha graduates so the Obamas needed the property outfitted for the Secret Service and ... it needed more fortification.

BTW ... he's getting a new neighbor. Ivanka Trump and family, they are moving nearby to a rental.

J Street "ad" in the NYT thanks Obama and Kerry for speech blasting Israel

Ad in the New York Lies

J Street, the pro-two state solution American organization, took out a full page ad in the New York Times Wednesday thanking outgoing President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry for their support for the two state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict and for speaking 'hard truths' to Israel.

The ad calls Obama and Kerry "true friends of the State of Israel" and says that "History will applaud your courage in addressing the conflict in both practical and moral terms."

The ad goes on to quote from the speech Secretary Kerry gave last week, in which he spent most his hour-long remarks lambasting Israel for construction in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

"Friends need to tell each other the hard truths, and friendships require mutual respect...[Israelis and Palestinians] can choose to live together in one state, or they can separate into two states. But here is a fundamental reality: if the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or democratic – it cannot be both – and it won’t ever really be at peace." the ad quotes from Kerry's speech.

J Street called the speech "powerful" and "lucid," using quotes from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and claimed that most Israelis and most of the world agree with Kerry

However, Israeli leaders blasted Kerry's speech, as did Congressmen and Senators from both the Republican and Democratic parties. The governments of Russia and the UK also criticized the speech. A spokesman for British Prime Minister Theresa May called Kerry's criticism of the makeup Israel's government "inappropriate" and slammed its focus on only one issue - Jewish communities over the 1949 armistice lines - over all other issues.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) said after Kerry's speech that the Secretary of State "seems to have forgotten the history of the settlements in Gaza, where the Israeli government forced settlers to withdraw from all settlements and the Palestinians responded by sending rockets into Israel,” adding, “This is something that people of all political stripes in Israel vividly remember.”

J Street had previously praised the Obama Administration's abstention on an anti-Israel resolution at the UN Security Council last month. J Street has also has announced its opposition to a congressional resolution condemning the UN resolution.

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.

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.
