Biden Subverted Defense Pact against Iran

by  Daniel Siryoti

Over the past few months, essentially since the administration of US President Joe Biden entered the White House, officials in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi have adopted a new strategy in terms of their foreign policies regarding Iran and renewing diplomatic ties with the Islamic republic

Initially, it was the Saudis who held a series of clandestine meetings in Baghdad with senior Iranian officials. Then the Emiratis opened a dialogue with the Iranians, even appointing former foreign minister Anwar Gargash to spearhead the efforts.

The United Arab Emirates did not just renew dialogue with Iran, however. After the telephone conversation between Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the Emirati Foreign Minister was sent to Damascus to meet with al-Assad – despite Washington’s warning that the UAE may face sanctions for doing so.

However, now, senior officials in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia have admitted that the main reason for the change in policy was that the regional anti-Iran coalition, formed with former US President Donald Trump’s encouragement and by the Abraham Accords and which included Israel, Bahrain, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, has fallen apart and essentially no longer exists.

“Coalition that was formed with the encouragement of Trump, which was essentially an unofficial regional defense pact with American backing between Israel and the Gulf states, has evaporated,” senior UAE official said.

Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak

The population transfer is a legitimate approach for conflict resolution! In 1922 two guys received the Nobel Prize for this idea, after almost 2 million were transferred b/w Greece and Turkey. In 1947 12 million were transferred b/w India and Pakistan. In 1949 the 4th Geneva Convention was adopted to stop Israel from doing the same to the hostile Arab population, which was left in Israel after the War of Independence. Since then only Israel is forced to abide by it! Israel needs a self-respectful leadership with determination to end the conflict, and remove so-called Palestinians from Jewish land!

Bills Must be Paid

The Palestinian Authority owes the Israel Electric Corporation 400 million shekels ($128 million) in unpaid electric bills. Minister in the Finance Ministry Hamad Amar (Yisrael Beytenu) said that Israel would not forgive the debt and added that he had instructed the Israel Tax Authority to “coordinate a framework with the PA that would allow the debt to be removed gradually from the tax money Israel transfers to PA”. (Hopefully, this is not just empty words, and the PA debt for water supply and medical treatments will be also paid.)

Ugly European anti-Semites Support Enemies of Israel

European Union Representative to the Palestinian Authority Sven Kuhn von Burgsdorff sounded the alarm, saying time is running out on the two-state solution with Israel. He led an EU delegation of representatives of more than 20 European countries Sunday on a visit to the former Qalandia airport north of Jerusalem. Burgsdorff told reporters that the Israeli plans defy international law and destabilize the status quo. “Israeli settlements are in clear violation of international law and constitute a major obstacle to a just, lasting and comprehensive peace between Israelis and Palestinians.” (Jew-haters never say what international law Israel violates. In spite of the ugliness of so-called peace process, when terror attacks against Jews are perpetrated by enemies daily, they indorse creation of the terror state on the Jewish land. International anti-Semites are unwilling to leave Jews alone, even after Jews left Europe!)

Major Hamas Terror Plot Stopped

The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) had broken up a major Hamas terror plot and arrested more than 50 operatives of the organization throughout the West Bank. Security forces also captured weapons and materials for preparing four suicide-bomb belts.

Israeli Police Ignore Arab ‘Common’ Crimes

Thief who police let go after he stole half ton of lemons from farmer arrested 2 months later following a complain. The owner of the farm described the lawlessness in the area “Already a year ago, grapes were stolen from me. We caught the thief, the army and police arrived, everyone. At the end the policemen told the thief ‘Come to the police on Monday’. I was shocked, but that’s how they work.”

Israel and Morocco Signed Defense Agreement

New memorandum between Israel and Morocco formalizes defense, intel, and industrial cooperation between the two countries. The agreement is a significant step in the deepening relations of Israel and the Kingdom of Morocco, which already benefit from increased economic cooperation, bilateral tourism, and warm people-to-people relations.

Quote of the Week:

“I will insist the Hebrews have contributed more to civilize men than any other nation. If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations. They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth. The Romans and their empire were but a bubble in comparison to the Jews. They have given religion to three-quarters of the globe and have influenced the affairs of mankind more and more happily than any other nation, ancient or modern.” – John Adams, the second President of the United States.

Time to Lose Ghetto Mentality.

by Steven Shamrak.

Every year Jews celebrate the exodus from Egypt and freedom from slavery. It took place 3,320 years ago. It was a fundamental event in Jewish history. At the same time, it symbolizes not just freedom from physical slavery. Passover reminds us that internal freedom of mind and spirit are even more significant. This freedom allows us real freedom of choice.

Jews have nothing to apologise for. We have the right to live in peace on Jewish land in our own country. We lived in Galut (exile, slave mentality) for too long. It is time to say – “NO more”!

I am ashamed and feel sorry for those Jews who have no self-respect and are helping enemies to destroy Israel. Why do they hate themselves so much?

I do respect non-Jewish people who do not know and do not care about the Arab-Israel conflict. They are honest hard-working people who have their own problems and interests. At the same time, there is a danger when opinions are formed under the influence of selectively presented information, provided by mainly a press that is biased against Israel.

People become attached to the belief system they have adopted, and it is difficult to change it. For Jews the understanding of the conflict and support for Israel is existential! I would like to remind all of them: 

1. Israel is on a front line of the war between Arab-Muslim expansionism and Western democracy. This war has already shifted to America and Europe. 

2. According to the UN’s own legal opinion: Judea, Samaria and Gaza do not belong to any country at the moment. Therefore, it is wrong to call them ‘Occupied Territories’. They used to be a part of Jewish land 2000 years ago and were allocated by the League of Nations for the creation of Eretz-Israel in 1922. There was never an Arab country in Palestine. 

3. So-called Palestinians are Arabs and Muslims who moved to the territories during the last 130 years, after the Zionist pioneers started to revitalize the land. 

4. Arabs have no intention of living in peace with Jews. When the former president of Egypt Nasser was asked: Why do you continue to fight Israel after so many defeats? His answer was: “Because. We need to win only one war!” Please make no mistake, the Arabs’ aim is total destruction of the Jewish state!

5. Arabs do respect charisma and strong leadership. It is time for Israel and her government to show it and end terror.  

6. Enemies and so-called friends have never treated the Jewish people as equals. They will never support Israel unconditionally regardless of facts. They do not care about facts and deliberately distort or falsify them.  

7. After 60 years of wars and terror, it is time to become an Independent nation with self-respect and be equal among equals. No more double standards!

8. Israel was created to fulfil a 2000-year-old national inspiration of Jewish people. Jews have the right to regain control over all Jewish land. The time is NOW!

At the same time, I am ashamed and feel sorry for Jews who advocate destruction of Israel. Why do they hate themselves so much?
