US Withdraws from UN Human Rights Council | | "The UN Human Rights Council needs major, dramatic, systemic changes."
That's a comment by US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, who along with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, delivered a briefing Tuesday on the United States' decision to withdraw from the UNHRC. Among the many UNHRC member nations are those who are in blatant violation of numerous human rights spanning decades. The UNHRC also has the disease known as, what Haley stated was, "CHRONIC BIAS AGAINST ISRAEL."
The UN does nothing to correct this shameful situation. The UN is not protecting human rights in any way, shape or form and does not demonstrate world leadership as human rights are violated every day. The UN needs to be held accountable for its inaction and begin reform of the UNHRC.
Pulling out of the UNHRC was another good move by President Trump.
| | Israel Under Fire
Tuesday night, about 45 rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel.
In response to the attack, IDF fighter jets struck approximately 25 Hamas terror targets in the Gaza Strip. The IDF struck targets in Hamas-owned military compounds and a Hamas underground training facility.
| | Permanent Police Presence in Hevron
"A permanent police presence that includes the entire range of police services to the public, and it is clear to all that where there is a strong police presence, there is tranquility, law, and sovereignty," Internal Security and Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan said. | | Keeping Israel Safe Means Responsibility to Jewish Citizens! Demolition of Jewish Homes is a Desecration of Jewish Values!
It was only last week on June 12 that Netanyahu demolished the Netiv Ha'avot Jewish community – all over a few inches of land. Pressure from AFSI and its supporters in America, along with Jews throughout the world, failed to prevent the destruction of Jewish homes. When did PA homes become more important to the Jewish state than the homes of their own people and citizens? This is SHAME & HUMILIATION!!
AT THE SAME TIME THAT JEWISH HOMES ARE BEING DESTROYED, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed the evacuation and demolition of five illegal "Palestinian" buildings in southern Hebron, in Sussya, following international pressure.
In a different but equally disgraceful news report, Israel's Central District Court recently rejected the request of Interior Minister Aryeh Deri to revoke the citizenship of an Arab who bombed a Tel Aviv bus in 2012, saying the case was not "unusual or extreme" enough to warrant it. Story HERE. | | Illegal Nawaja outpost at Susiya | | Scene of a Tel Aviv passenger bus bombing on November 21, 2012 | | Israeli Police Station, Placed to Prevent PA Plundering, Removed From Temple Mount
An Israeli police station that was recently opened on the Temple Mount has been removed. One reason for it being there was that during the month of Ramadan, when NO JEWS ARE ALLOWED ON THE MOUNT, the Arabs plundered archaeological treasures. The station was placed there to stop the thievery and destruction. For some reason, once PM Netanyahu met with Jordan's King Abdullah, the station was removed. This is a disgrace. The Jordanian Waqf sources claim that the removal was to "give the Jordanian government a free hand in monitoring and regulating the behavior of non-Muslim visitors to the Mount." That means even more restrictions on Jews on the Temple Mount.
Israeli Police stated: "Despite the claims by the Waqf, there has been no change to the policy of Israel Police regarding its role in law enforcement and keeping the peace. The claims are false and are the responsibility of those who made them."
| | Israeli Court Recognizes Shabak/GSS Abuse of Power
David Bedein's organization has asked PM Netanyahu's close political ally, Efrat Mayor Oded Ravivi, for a comment following the Israel court declaration that the Shabak/GSS brutalizes and physically abuses young Jews in an illegal fashion.
| | You Can Achieve a Better Life: Get Rid of Your Leaders | There are many "inconvenient truths" that Mahmoud Abbas and his cronies don't want the world to know, or the people of Gaza to talk about. That is why Abbas sent his police officers to Ramallah to beat up the protesters, whose only crime was that they had dared to call on Abbas to remove the sanctions on the Gaza Strip.
It is Abbas, NOT ISRAEL, who is largely responsible for the current crisis.
Read Bassam Tawil's latest Gatestone Institute article HERE. | | "It's become safer to demonstrate against Israel than against Abbas or the Palestinian Authority. Israel is at least a country of law and order and they have human rights organizations and a powerful media and judicial system. We can only continue to dream of having something like what the Jews have." — Palestinian activist | | Kuwaiti Arab Writer Speaks the Truth About Israel - Must Watch Video
To hear it is to believe it.
Read a few comments made by prestigious Kuwaiti Arab writer Abdullah Al-Hadlaq who says Israel is a legitimate state, not an occupier.
"Like it or not, Israel is an independent and sovereign state," Abdullah Al-Hadlaq said. "It exists, and it has a seat at the United Nations, and most peace-loving and democratic countries recognize it."
"When the State of Israel was established in 1948, there was no state called 'Palestine'"
"There is no occupation." "There is a people returning to its promised land."
To believe it, watch the video below. | | Letter to the Editor - The New York Post
YES!! U.S.Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, IS pro-Israel. Why should that upset the establishment and the mainstream? YES! He helped convince President Trump to move the U.S. Embassy into the existing Consulate building in Jerusalem, "recognizing" the ancient and ongoing capital of Israel as the present capital of Israel. Why should this logical action be taken as a seismic occurrence?
And the recent terrorist attacks on Israel's Gaza border by tens of thousands of Hamas and PA terrorists should be recognized as such and condemned, with obvious approval of the IDF to counter these attacks. When the world media and the uninformed try to evoke pity for the Hamas and PA "victims" of this war, of course Friedman and all right-minded people should object.
As for the "two-state solution", Friedman and all honest observers see that the constant delegitimization and demonization of Israel by Hamas and the PA, along with calls for Israel's destruction, deny any possibility of any kind of "peace" with them. Pretending otherwise is simply continuing to play the State Department game.
As Jonathan Tobin states in his conclusion to his opinion piece, "the truth-teller, Friedman, deserves credit, not censure." We applaud him for being "pro-Israel."
