The major persistent objection to the settlements is not niceties of international law but the claim that they are an obstacle to peace. Take that claim away and the settlers can look forward to a prosperous future, albeit without the fulfillment of the wilder dreams of some.
The secretary of state’s taped convention address from Israel skirts the line of propriety. But the Democrats’ beef with him is more about politics, not the law.
If US snapback sanctions succeed, that can only hasten the end of the terrorist regime in Tehran. It will also boost confidence and security among the Arab countries, increasingly fearful of a nuclear-armed Iran.
There was for so long the mantra of "Israel is the enemy." It was a mantra that people could not break out of and that they believed without proof. These people are now quiet. We need this change in the Arab world. It has taken so long to come.
The only way to test the nature of the Israel-UAE normalization deal is to assess how it has affected Israel's sovereignty plan.

“Each Person, a World” pays tribute to 1,200 Jewish victims of the coronavirus from around the globe.
the Palestinians believe they have exclusive control over Islam's third-holiest site and are free to decide who can visit the site and who cannot. It is therefore the right time for Arabs and Muslims to step in to demand an end to Palestinian hegemony over the Al-Aqsa Mosque and other holy sites in Jerusalem.

While normalization between the UAE and Israel is probably not the game-changer some believe it to be, it does firm up a changing regional environment. The deal will create a new dynamic on three levels: domestic, regional, and international. Expect more pieces to fall into place soon as other countries adjust.
"I regret that we are also preparing, to the extent necessary, for the possibility of a round or rounds," PM Netanyahu said.
In an unusual move, the Prime Minister's office released a detailed denial to the report that Prime Minister Netanyahu approved the US sale of advanced F-35 aircrafts to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as part of the peace deal. Since the deal was revealed, Jared Kushner, the White House and reporters have made many claims […]
The deal demonstrates how quickly changes occur in this volatile part of the globe. It was only a few decades ago when Israel's strongest allies were Iran and Turkey, and its most intractable enemies were Egypt, Jordan and the Gulf states. Now the reverse is true.
Israelis care too much about gaining international approval, especially by Arab and Muslim nations. So an official treaty of normalization of relations is almost impossible to resist.
One area in which Israel is closely following the American model has to do with the mainstream media. In America, you would be hard pressed to know that there is an Antifa, or riots in Portland or shootings at the CHOP autonomous zone in Seattle, if you just watched CNN or MSNBC, or read the New York Times. Similarly in Israel, most media outlets are not covering the “hard core Left” aspects of demonstrations.
That means Trump last week with his executive order may have saved American democracy but maybe not his own presidency.

But the attempt to sweep antisemitism under the carpet demonstrates a fundamental failure to honestly address oppression and the exclusion of Jews on the basis of the color of their skin highlights the hypocrisy of those who proclaim their dedication to human rights.
Even a cursory analysis of the “Commanders for Israel’s Security” plan, perversely titled “Security First,” will reveal that it is not a security plan composed by military experts, but a political manifesto drafted by amateur politicians.
Cancel culture—the denial to certain people of any platform on which to express their side of an issue—has become more and more accepted in public debate. It led to a letter decrying it by more than 150 writers and intellectuals in Harper’s Magazine. But the signatories never saw fit to object to the longstanding anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish cancel culture that exists at many Western universities. The letter offers no operational conclusions, though a logical one would be the reformulation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution to make hate speech punishable by law.

Over the past several years, the right has made a quantum leap on a perceptual level. The right-wing media outlets, social media, and NGOs have managed to break the left’s hold on the flow of information and its control of the national agenda. Its fight against judicial overreach has become one of the main rallying cries of right-wing voters.

"If this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it. All right?... I just want black liberation and black sovereignty, by any means necessary." — Hawk Newsome, leader of BLM's Greater New York chapter, New York Post, June 25, 2020
Ancient Greece considered athletic ability both a measure of one's value and a cure for social inequality. Athletics were seen as providing a form of moral education, with Plato advocating for the inclusion of women in sports for their moral enrichment and Aristotle calling physical movement an ethical duty. These are ideals after which Western Civilization still strives, but sports—along with all other cultural spheres—have become politicized.

The principle of “Yes to sovereignty, no to Palestine” must lead us in every discussion on sovereignty. One does not make deals on the homeland – not theoretically and certainly practically.

I think the election will mark the inflection point at which the curve of civilizational decline turns sharply downward.

Israel should be a source of pride for all Jews—but particularly for Jews who espouse liberal values of tolerance and pluralism, of individual liberty and of human advancement.
Yet, we are supposed to believe that the most important thing about a black individual is that he or she is black. And if we don’t honor that fact – if we aim to be "colorblind" – we are racist. This dehumanizing nonsense goes for racial truth these days

Likud faction leader MK Miki Zohar rails against the health hazard posed by the demonstrations, in view of renewed coronavirus restrictions.
The Prime Minister acts almost exclusively to protect himself, and not on behalf of the country. The evidence for this is the absurdly fat and expensive “unity” (one has to laugh) government with its 35 ministers and 8 deputy ministers. This structure exists so that Binyamin Netanyahu can continue to be Prime Minister. There is no other reason.
"The alternative to the steps that we take today – is much harsher steps tomorrow."

PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s enthusiasm for the idea of applying Israeli sovereignty to parts of the West Bank can be explained by the desire to seize the historic opportunity created by President Trump’s uniquely favorable attitude to Israel. There is another element, however, that warrants close attention: Netanyahu’s reaction to the Obama administration’s relentless hostility.

For the second year in a row, US campuses have experienced a significant decline in classic anti-Semitic harassment (down 49%) and a significant increase in Israel-related incidents (up 60%).
As of Tuesday morning, Iranian authorities and state media have not commented on the incident.
Many understand that racism is an intrinsic part of Western societies. So is antisemitism, yet this is acknowledged by very few. Antisemitism was on display during mass demonstrations about the coronavirus pandemic and the problem of racism, but was scarcely remarked upon. There has also been an outpouring of new mutations of anti-Jewish conspiracy theories in the wake of the pandemic. As has occurred for millennia, western cultures are interweaving their antisemitism into issues of the day.
Israel’s approach to the Corona has been very – Israeli. First, we tried to overcome it by brute force. Then we became overconfident. And now, hopefully, we’ll try to be smart.

The Jordan Valley is Israel’s only defensible eastern border and Israeli sovereignty there is vital for the demilitarization of a future Palestinian state.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center and Americans Against Anti-Semitism slammed the outlet for considering someone as divisive as Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, known for anti-Semitic and hate speech.
Contrary to the alarming charge that the application of sovereignty over parts of the West Bank would transform Israel into a binational state, doing so would not affect 95% of the West Bankers who have been living under the rule of the Palestinian Authority since January 1996. They will continue to do so. The move does entail political risks, but they are smaller than the security hazards that would accompany Israel’s inability to maintain a permanent security presence in the Jordan Valley.

What Antifa is doing is they're basically hijacking the black community as their army. They instigate, they antagonize, they get these young black men and women to go out there and do stupid things, and then they disappear off into the sunset." — Bernard Kerik, former commissioner of the New York City Police Department.
The issue of applying sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and the West Bank’s Israeli communities puts PM Benjamin Netanyahu on the horns of a difficult strategic dilemma, one of the most important in Israel’s history. At critical strategic junctures, decisions are always complex, and Netanyahu’s is complex many times over. But full Israeli control over the West Bank’s main traffic arteries is absolutely essential.
