Israel’s Capitulation to Hezbollah is Dangerous Appeasement

Following threats from Hezbollah’s chief Hassan Nasrallah, Israel’s interim PM Lapid and his Defense Minister Benny Gantz are bragging about signing a ‘protection deal’ with the Americans.

Caroline Glick’s Israel’s Devastating Capitulation to Hezbollah

 

(JNS) It is almost impossible to grasp the danger of Israel’s present moment.

A month before the Knesset elections, the caretaker government led by Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defense Minister Benny Gantz is moving full speed ahead with a maritime agreement with an enemy state that it insists will obligate Israel in perpetuity. The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) agreement Israel is concluding with Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon will fundamentally alter Israel’s maritime borders, deny the Jewish state tens of billions of dollars, which will go instead to a government controlled by Iran’s Lebanese foreign legion, Hezbollah, and transform Hezbollah and Iran into actors in the eastern Mediterranean.

NBC News spins Palestinian Islamic Jihad killing of Gaza kids

Just like the Hezbollah report, a NBC News Report also allowed readers to assume Israel was to blame while deliberately preventing its readers from learning that it was one of the PIJ rocket misfires that killed the kids in Jabalya.

By Gilead Ini

 

(JNS) On August 6, a rocket fell in Jabalya in the Gaza Strip, killing seven Palestinian Arabs, including four children.

Those with a tidy view of warfare likely viewed Israel as responsible. After all, the rocket fell during a round of fighting between Israel and Gaza’s Palestinian Islamic Jihad, during which Israeli struck at PIJ targets in Gaza and the Palestinian Arab terror group fired rockets toward towns in Israel.

The Palestinians will never make peace with Israel & the EU & US can’t make them

UPDATED Analysis:
The Palestinian kleptocrats will never break from their ‘Resistance’ and accept Statehood as long as the ‘Palestinian Narrative’ continues to make them multi-BILLIONAIR€$, extremely powerful and welcomed by world leaders.

By Phillip Pasmanick

 

The only way to change what has been going on for the past few decades, is get statehood for the Arabs; design a workable infrastructure of services & production, and have a viable economy stimulated by taxes and an efficient government.  But, a number of existing dynamics are currently in play (and well oiled), that are in direct contradiction to such a hearty goal.

Kill Jews

Both Hamas TV and Palestinian Authority TV, lead by Abbas teach hatred and the incitement maintains the status quo: violence….which

Single Tweet in Arabic Shakes Up Arab World, Destroys Palestinian Narrative

Arab world forced into reality when Dr. Edy Cohen’s amazing offer causes a social media storm with his tweet proving there never was a country called “Palestine.”

By Ryan Jones

 

The Palestinian narrative tells us that there was once a “Palestinian” people or nation living in a country called “Palestine” that was conquered and occupied by Israel.

This fiction is necessary because under international law, there can only be “occupation” if one nation takes land from another. If one nation took land that didn’t legally belong to any another, and has some compelling reason to have done so, then it is “disputed,” not occupied.  Continue Reading »

Israeli PM Bennett says “Light Shield” to cost ‘just $2 per missile interception’

Israel’s proven “Light Shield” system, already under production for service by early 2023, is a ‘game-changer’ according to PM Bennett, saying the laser-based air defense system will ‘bankrupt’ Israel’s enemies, Lebanon, Palestinians & Iran, when downing their rockets at $2 per interception.

By Reuters

 

A laser-based air defense system that Israel hopes to deploy starting next year to neutralize enemy rockets and drones will cost just $2 per interception, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Wednesday.

Israel currently depends on defensive systems that launch interceptor missiles costing between tens of thousands and millions of dollars to track incoming projectiles.

But the Iron Beam system, also called “Light Shield”, is a prototype unveiled last year, which uses lasers to super-heat and disable aerial threats. Continue Reading »

Proving the veracity of the Wall Street Journal’s report of how Iran fooled UN inspectors by using secretly stolen IAEA documents to hide their nuclear weapons program, Israeli PM Bennett shared a link to a Google Drive that includes the stolen IAEA files, obtained a few years back in a Mossad operation.

IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi released a report to the agency’s Board of Governors a day to earlier estimating that Iran had enough enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon, 18 times more than the 2015 deal with world powers permitted. Continue Reading »

BUSTED: CNN’S Farce of an ‘Investigation’ …a.k.a. #FakeNews

Analysis: Based purely on speculation, assumption, ill-will and only using partisan “experts,” the only thing CNN’s publicised ‘Investigation’ on Shireen Abu Akleh’s death proved, is that it is still not an honest news agency.

By David M. Litman, CAMERA

 

CNN’s “investigation” of the death of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh did not, as it claims, show that Israeli forces intentionally murdered her. Instead, CNN only showed the world how far the news company has fallen from serious journalism.

CNN’s incendiary accusation against Israel piles assumptions on top of assumptions. It relies not so much on objective, incontrovertible evidence, but on the feelings of biased eyewitnesses. Continue Reading »
