The return of the two-state solution illusion

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

For Democrats in the United States and the political “centrists” in Israel—represented by Joe Biden and Yair Lapid, respectively—the loss of credibility for the two-state solution has meant losing more and more support for Israeli policies. As the respected polling site 538.com noted recently, among many other sources, younger Democrats are increasingly supportive of Palestinians and less so of Israeli policies.

Life in an IDF Firing Zone: For These Palestinians, It’s a Daily Nightmare

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Fewer than six months after a court order expelling the inhabitants of Masafer Yatta from their homes, life in the area has changed beyond recognition. Day-to-day existence had always been difficult in the eight small villages scattered through the area in the absence of basic facilities, even before Israel declared the area a military firing zone, but in recent months it has grown even worse amid the constant presence of the Israeli army and live-fire training. Roadblocks between the villages make it harder for the inhabitants to get in and out, and roads are closed to non-residents. As a result, many villagers have stopped using their cars. As in the old days, they ride donkeys or they walk.

Haaretz: No More Blind Support, the IDF Must Be Reined In

Prime Minister Yair Lapid repeated once again on Wednesday that he is a faithful successor to his predecessor, Benjamin Netanyahu, at least when it comes to matters of security and occupation. In response to a U.S. announcement, which called upon Israel to reexamine the IDF’s rules of engagement in the territories, the prime minister said: “No one will dictate rules of engagement to us when we’re fighting for our lives.”

Israel wants foreigners to report falling in love with Palestinians

Samizdat | September 4, 2022

According to new guidelines expected to come into force on Monday, foreigners will be required to inform the Israeli Defense Ministry if their romantic relationship with a resident of the West Bank is getting serious – including plans to live together, get engaged or marry – to receive or extend an entry permit. The restrictions do not apply to those visiting Israeli settlements.

Jordan Peterson Shills for the Zionist Entity

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Aug 27, 2022 — The Canadian academic, Jordan Peterson, has raised the ire of Muslims around the world with his latest video he proceeds to lecture Muslims on opening up to other groups of people.

He even suggests that they must begin penpal relationships with different sects, including Jewish people. The caption for the video states clearly what the motive behind the video is: “In the aftermath of the Abraham Accords, Dr Jordan B Peterson suggests that the Muslim community can set a historical example by reaching across the aisle and making contact with whom they regard as “the enemy.” But what about the media platform which produced the video with Peterson?

Shapiro is “a friend” of the US Special Envoy for Economic Normalization, Aryeh Lightstone, and has hosted several interviews to promote the Abraham Accords, including with admitted liar Mike Pompeo. Ben Shapiro once tweeted that “Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage.

The Daily Wire has recently signed him for a substantial figure. It is managed on a day-to-day basis by Chief Operating Officer, Jon Lewis, who is a former Intelligence Analyst in the US Marine Corps. It also employs former US Military Intelligence officer, Wesley Schmidt, in Customer Service Analytics. One of the founders of The Daily Wire is Ben Shapiro, a well known pro-Israel YouTuber.

Prior to founding The Daily Wire, Shapiro was a Shillman Fellow at the controversial David Horowitz Freedom Center. His role was provided by Robert Shillman, a board member of The Friends of the IDF, who pumps millions into the building of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

The other founder of The Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing was intimately involved in the Prager University project founded by Israel lobbyist Dennis Pragar. The CEO PragerU is Marissa Streit, formerly of the military intelligence unit 8200 in the Israeli occupation forces. The current Senior Editor and Researcher at PragerU is Richard Lim who was previously Deputy Associate Director at the White House and then went onto be a Program Analyst at the FBI.

The Daily Wire not only shared Jeremy Boreing with the PragerU project, but also funders. Both organizations were financed by fracking billionaires the Wilks brothers. The Wilks brothers provided the seed funding for The Daily Wire and regular financial support for the PragerU. Dan Wilks foundation also lavished financial support on Liberty Counsel which has a Stand With Israel campaign which consists of tours of the apartheid state and includes briefings by Israeli government, military, business, and academic leaders.

Both Shapiro and the PragarU project have also enjoyed funding from the Bradley Foundation which has financed a panoply of Zionist organizations including ones involved in illegal settlement building in the West Bank. So, we see that the media organization behind Jordan Peterson’s normalization video has considerable links to not only US but Israeli intelligence.

DeSantis and Future Foreign Policy Disasters

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

With his refusal to go along with lockdowns and mask mandates during the pandemic, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis emerged as a hero to many in libertarian circles. But as his name is now consistently put forward as a prospective or even likely 2024 Republican Presidential candidate, those who view him favorably should take a sober second look. On foreign policy in particular, DeSantis promises to continue the disastrous policies of his predecessors, which have made us uniformly less free, less safe, and much poorer.
