Kerry: Bibi is Shortsighted and Untrustworthy
Here we go again. The world is in collapse mode or should I say the American world is on collapse mode and Kerry wheels out apartheid like statements and fear mongering to relate to Israel’s future. Once going on here is that the USA is nervous it is losing Israel and so the warning is out. “You leave our orbit and we will make you look like South Africa.” Threats don’t work anymore. Their policies are in shambles and in the new world of value based partnerships versus ideological allies, Israel is well positioned to be economic hub of the fast changing Middle East. By the way trusting the USA government never did the Kurds well either. Obama has left them to die at the mercy of ISIS.
War is Hell and the Arabs use all Means at their Disposal
The violent struggle for control over the Land of Israel continues. Thankfully, all of the injured from yesterday’s car ramming in Jerusalem will live. The 1.5 year old unfortunately will lose his foot. In the long struggle strategy that Bibi seems to have adopted over the Land, the government wants the citizenry to remain vigilant as it grinds the Arabs down over a period of time and makes them sure for peace. This strategy means we won’t see the winding down of “lone wolfs” anytime soon.

Erdogan Tries to Break Out of his Isolation by Pandering to…Israel?
It’s been a tough month for our favorite ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood President, Erdogan. You almost have to feel bad for him. Russia is beginning to tighten the noose with troops to his South and now in Armenia. With that Greee, Cyprus, Israel, and Egypt are moving to create an East Mediterranean alliance in connection to the gas fields their countries share. That would essentially cut out Turkey from their Sunni brothers and the EU. The tables have certainly turned and one should not expect Israel to worry about mending ties with Turkey anytime soon. With Russia moving in and the Eastern block of the EU looking like they are truly separate from their Western cohorts, Israel stands in a fantastic position to become a major player.
Roger Waters and Rivlin Play the Haaretz Conference
It’s true they were both there, but Rivlin tried in his typically pseudo nationalist way to defend Israel at what can only be described as something akin to a blood libel. What makes Rivlin thinks he can sway these sort of people is anyone’s guess, but unfortunately Rivlin really believes in most of the comments he has made since he became President. Thankfully it is a ceremonial position. If not we would be in big trouble.
Hungary prime minister: Europe looks like ‘battlefield’ because of migrants
What a surprise. These aren’t your typical migrants. The Arab world has long believed the best way to win over the non-believing nations, was to literally win them over, by becoming the predominant culture. Europe seems to be falling and falling fast. Eastern Europe though will have none of it and that is good for Israel. Nothing beats finding common ground with historically anti-Semitic nations.

Arab MKs Lead Populism that is Disconnected from Reality
MK Odeh is representative of a broader problem in Israel. Arab leaders claim their people are discriminated against and at the same time enjoy rights and privileges they cannot get elsewhere. One has to understand that discrimination in Arab culture means that another culture is in control. This means by Western standards there is no real discrimination, but an issue of honor. Whatever the case, Israel is plagued by Arab leaders that spit in the face of the very State that gives full rights and opportunities.
Raed Khalil has been indicted for murdering two Jews while they were praying in Tel Aviv last month Of course this this Arab Jihadist will be put away for as long as it takes to carry out a further prisoner swap. Even if he rots in jail, he’ll have a far cozier time in prison than some of the Jewish administrative detainees that have been placed there with no charges. The Israeli security apparatus is in dire need of repairs. Thankfully, many of the young people serving in it are doing their best to foil and push back on Jihadist terrorism.
New Police Chief Sets a Different Tone
The new police chief is a serous guy and the first religious Zionist one. Make no mistake, his trip to gush Etzion is a message that he is approaching his role far differently than his corrupt predecessors. The Left is truly running scared that one of their last bastions of control will finally be cleaned out.

Knifing Victim From Kiryat Arba Shows Slight Improvement
A Chanukah miracle is unfolding. The gardener of the Cave of the Patriarchs that was stabbed earlier in the week and given a slim chance to live has miraculously shown some signs of improvement. He was stabbed four times; one in the chest, two in the heart and one in the pancreas.
Mark Zuckerberg Fails To Understand the Threat
Mark Zuckerberg posted what seems to be a push back against Donald Trump. Mark wants to lend his support to Muslims worldwide. While this sounds nice to millions of Americans unaware of just how different many in Islam are from them, he shows how he and others are ignorant of the wider situation in the Middle East. After all Middle Eastern Christians are being decimated and wiped out at the hands of their Muslim neighbors.
Israel has No Reason to Be Friends with Turkey
There is a new strategic alliance forming in the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey does not seem to be part of it. With gas deals being signed between Cyprus, Greece, and Israel as well as defense pacts being pushed between these countries, the Israeli government has no need to return to the relationship they once had with Turkey. The realignment shows just how strong Israel’s hand is in the future . By being the anchor country in the Eastern Mediterranean Israel has an opportunity to forge a new regional order.
