Submitting to Islamist bullies won’t make America great again
by Clifford D. May
September 22, 2019

John Bolton’s sudden departure from the White House last week cheered progressives who believe America has no enemies, just friends whose grievances we’ve failed to address, as well as those conservatives who believe if we leave our enemies alone, they’ll return the favor. And you thought there was no common ground between left and right!…Bolton’s departure was reportedly precipitated when Trump began to consider giving in to demands from Iran’s rulers to relieve economic pressure on them as a precondition for new talks about their nuclear weapons program, support for terrorists, imperialist aggression and other malign activities.  READ MORE

Jews and Arabs saving each other’s lives

ELDER OF ZIYON
Jews and Arabs donate kidneys to each other when original recipients were not suitable
from YNET
September 20, 2019

Twenty-four hours before the dramatic moment the polls opened, two Jewish men and two Arab women faced their own dramatic moment: a chain of operations that saved the lives of two of them. Ido from the religious community of Hoshaya intended to donate a kidney altruistically to Israel, which he did not know before, but unfortunately he was found unsuitable for matching. So did Aida Mashfaram, who intended to donate a kidney to her sister-in-law Hanan, but the results of the tests showed that this would not be possible. At Rambam Hospital, the four proposed a “chain of transplants”, which led to Aida donating her kidney to Israel, while Ido donated a kidney to Hanan. READ MORE

“Nowhere in her book does Bari Weiss indicate she has any problem with the deadening mental conformity of contemporary American liberalism”

In Her New Book on Anti-Semitism, Bari Weiss Bravely States the Obvious
September 11, 2019

In How to Fight Anti-Semitism, Bari Weiss points out that anti-Semitism is as much a creature of the left as of the right, and that the anti-Zionism that has overtaken progressive circles and college campuses is indistinguishable from other forms of hatred of Jews. That the book must be judged brave for saying so, and that Weiss has attracted so much vitriol for holding these opinions, writes Hillel Halkin in his review, is “a badge of shame for the ‘progressive’ America” of which Weiss considers herself a part.

ELDER OF ZIYON Critiquing Judith Butler’s critique of Bari Weiss For some reason, Jewish Currents chose rabid anti-Israel ideologue Judith Butler to review Bari Weiss’ “How to Fight Anti-Semitism,” a book that describes in detail why modern anti-Zionism is a new form of antisemitism just as toxic as white supremacism, a thesis with which Butler violently disagrees.

Team Iran
by Lee Smith
September 20, 2019

It wouldn’t seem hard for anyone remotely interested in the fate of the planet to draw at least one clear lesson from last Saturday’s Iranian strikes on Saudi Arabia: There is no way that the regime that casually took 50% of Saudi oil production offline can ever be allowed to get anywhere near possessing a nuclear bomb. Imagine what a nuclear-armed Iran might do to the oil production on which the entire planet depends for energy, transportation, and food. Does anyone really care to wager that an Iranian regime that had such devastating weapons wouldn’t actually use them? That seems like a bad bet. READ MORE

“Many adults who do not deny that the Earth is getting warmer do deny that the threat is “existential” and do believe that the left’s solutions, such as the Green New Deal, will damage the world far more than will carbon emissions”

REAL CLEAR POLITICS
If You Can’t Sell Your Hysteria to Adults, Try Kids
by Dennis Prager
September 24, 2019

…Proof that the left is hysterical is its unwillingness to promote nuclear power — a completely clean, non-fossil fuel-based source of power. It provides France with 70 percent of its energy. Anyone who really believes life on Earth is endangered would grasp at the nuclear power lifeboat. That they do not proves what many of us have believed from the beginning: The “existential threat” scenario is another left-wing falsehood used to whip up hysteria that will lead to the left’s control of the economy and society.

ISRAELLY COOL BDS Movement Further Slides into Parody As They Accuse Israel of ‘Climate Apartheid’ Just when you thought you’ve heard and seen it all, along come the Israel haters (or Palestinians) to invent something new. Introducing – wait for it – climate apartheid!

POWERLINE Exposing Junk Climate Science This twelve-minute video by Tony Heller of Real Climate Science, released just yesterday, does a great job of exposing the deceptive use of data on which climate alarmism depends. Heller begins with the National Climate Assessment that recently went out to journalists and policymakers. It included a set of charts and graphs that superficially seemed to support the claim that we are experiencing alarming changes in the Earth’s climate, as summed up in this graphic.

“Whatever the motivations, a formal mutual defense pact between US and Israel will end up being a distinct liability for both”

JERUSALEM POST
A Formal US-Israeli Defense Pact Is Still A Bad Idea
by Ilan Berman
September 19, 2019

The question of whether the United States and Israel should sign a formal mutual defense pact is a recurring theme in relations between the two countries. It came up again in the run-up to this week’s tumultuous elections as a result of public advocacy on the part of Washington and behind-the-scenes encouragement from Jerusalem. The motivation on both sides is understandable; the US wants to demonstrate its enduring commitment to Israeli security, while the Israeli government is eager to capitalize on the pro-Israeli attitudes of the Trump administration…READ MORE

A note on Tuesday’s elections
September 19, 2019

The US media coverage of the Israeli election has misrepresented the results of Tuesday’s vote…This week the Washington Post slandered Netanyahu — and Israeli society. The editorial board falsely claimed that the public’s aversion to including the Arab parties in a government is a product of racism. This is a lie. Israelis don’t want to share power with the Arab parties because there is not one Arab party that accepts Israel’s right to exist. READ MORE

JNS Alex Traiman: The political downfall of Israel’s right-wing The deadlock now increases the likelihood of a national unity government comprised of both Likud, and Blue and White. But Gantz has said that he refuses to sit in any government led by Netanyahu, and Netanyahu is thus far unwilling to yield the prime minister’s chair to his challenger or to another member of the Likud Party.

Women’s March vote off new board member Zahra Billoo over tweets about Israel and Zionism
by Daniel Sugarman
September 19, 2019

A newly appointed board member of the Women’s March has been voted off it just days after her new role was announced, after tweets promoting extreme anti-Zionism and conspiracy theories were revealed. Zahra Billoo, a lawyer and executive director of CAIR.. in San Francisco, tweets included: “Zionism is the violent ideology responsible for the genocide and displacement of indigenous Palestinians and the destruction of Palestinian land.” She described Zionism as “racism”, and wrote in 2015: “I’m more afraid of racist Zionists who support Apartheid Israel than of the mentally Ill young people the #FBI recruits to join ISIS.” READ MORE
