Update: Prime Minister Netanyahu Pauses Israeli Judicial Reform to Avoid ‘Civil War’ [here] 3-27-23, NatlReview -- Prime Minister Netanyahu said: “When there’s an option to avoid civil war through dialogue, I take a time-out for dialogue. The bill will be delayed out of national responsibility until the next Knesset session a month from now."

| 3-15-23, * -- While ole Joe Biden’s Middle East team was focused on normalizing Saudi-Israeli relations, China delivered the most significant regional development since President Trump’s Abraham Accords: a deal to end seven years of Saudi-Iranian estrangement when a normalization agreement was signed 3/10/23 by Riyadh and Tehran is noteworthy not only because of its potential positive repercussions in the region; but also because of China’s leading role and the United States [USA] absence representing a big win for Beijing. China helped secure the energy supply she needs and burnished its credentials as a trusted broker in the region, something Biden couldn’t do. The two nations affirmed respect for each other’s sovereignty and noninterference in each other’s internal affairs. [..] Saudi Arabia has:
| Washington was left in a worst-of-both-worlds while Beijing has managed to maintain good relations with Russia, Iran, Israel and Saudi Arabia while remaining fully neutral on the squabbles among them. China has no defense pacts with any Middle Eastern power and does not maintain military bases in the region, relying on economic rather than military influence. [..] At the end of the day, if nothing else, instability jeopardizes the flow of oil from the region and adds a hefty risk premium to gas prices. While not exactly worrying about China’s role, the USA should take it as a warning and a lesson. If the USA continues to embroil itself in the conflicts of other nations; she becomes part of the problem rather than the solution ceding the role of peacemaker to China. *Excerpted full original report here https://www.foreignaffairs.com/china-became-peacemaker-middle-east?check_logged_in=1&utm_medium=promo_email&utm_source=lo_flows&utm_campaign=registered_user_welcome&utm_term=email_1&utm_content=20230324 |

| 3-11-23, Excerpt* -- Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, told Al Jazeera that the US “increasingly has deviated from and pursued policies that simply make it impossible for it to be a credible mediator. Too often the US has taken sides in regional conflicts, becoming co-belligerent which makes it very difficult for the US to play a peacemaking role. China however, did not take sides between Saudi and Iran, has worked very hard to not get dragged into their conflict and as a result, could play a peacemaking role.” China’s breakthrough comes as various US media outlets reported this week that Israel and Iran were edging closer to war.

Islamic Nation of Turkey is No Friend
Erdogan has helped Iran with selling its oil despite UN sanctions and his coziness with the Islamic Ayatollahs of Iran
| 1-11-23, * -- Allegedly to punish Kurdish “terrorists” as retribution for a November 2022 bomb attack in Istanbul, the Islamic nation of Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan ordered the bombing of targets in Iraq and Syria. The American allied Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) strongly denied the charges but Turkey’s indiscriminate bombing of Kurdish targets often killing innocent Kurdish civilians reflects Erdogan’s hypocrisy. For years he’s been blasting Israel for its defensive retaliatory attacks against the Islamic terror group Hamas in Gaza. Erdogan has even rallied the Sunni-Muslim world to declare Jihad [war] on Israel, accusing the Jewish state of being a “terrorist state.” [here] Erdogan has been obsessed with the Kurds and Israel. It is not however, Erdogan’s hypocrisy vis-vis-Israel alone, it is his duplicity vis-à-vis the USA as well. While pretending to be a US ally and a NATO member, his Islamist and Muslim Brotherhood beliefs have made him support, albeit, clandestinely the Islamic terror group ISIS, allowing them to transit through Turkey to Syria. [..] | More recently Erdogan has made overtures toward Israel, hoping to carry Israeli gas to Europe. He even hosted Israel’s President Herzog and allowed closer intelligence cooperation with Israel. But a leopard cannot change its spots! It isn’t only the Kurds and Israel that Erdogan loathes, he has “no love lost” for America. He promotes conspiracy theories against the US and openly blames the US for many of Turkey’s problems. He’s responsible for the democratic backsliding in Turkey and has imprisoned American citizens. Erdogan has helped Iran with selling its oil despite UN sanctions and his coziness with the Islamic Ayatollahs of Iran and Putin’s Russia makes him a questionable US ally if not a downright enemy. Thus far, ole Joe Biden and the Pentagon have not issued clear directives as to how to respond to Turkey’s various aggressions. *Excerpted and adapted full original report from Joseph Puder, Front Page here https://www.frontpagemag.com/is-erdogan-an-ally-or-a-rival/ |

Islamic Nation of Jordan Warning Israel About Crossing Jerusalem 'Red Lines'
| Who Controls the Temple Mount in Jerusalem? King of Jordan [here] 12-2020, Israel365 -- Jordan’s King Abdullah inaugurated the 19th Parliament’s non-ordinary session and delivered remarks emphasizing his commitment to the Hashemite Custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, He said: “The Hashemite Custodianship of Jerusalem’s Islamic and Christian holy sites is a duty, a commitment, a firm belief, and a responsibility we have proudly undertaken for more than a hundred years. ... this custodianship was inextricably linked to the creation of a Palestinian state inside the borders of Israel with its capital in Jerusalem." | Yitzchak Reiter, a political scientist who is a full professor of Islamic, Middle East and Israel Studies explains: “From July 1967, the Israeli government decided that the management of the site will be overseen by the Waqf, the Muslim endowment that oversees holy sites in Jerusalem. There are many ways to look at the question of who rules the Temple Mount depending on who you ask and who they are talking to at the moment.” Apparently in 1994 an agreement between Israel and Jordan to reestablished Jordan's status as the custodian of Temple Mount while affirming Israel's sovereignty over Judaism's holiest site.

The Islamic War on Christmas
12-19-22, The Stream* -- One of the most odious aspects of the so-called War on Christmas is Western appeasement of Muslim sensibilities. Consider recent events in Sweden, where St. Lucia’s Day has been celebrated for centuries. According to Britannica: “The festival begins with a procession led by the St. Lucia designee, who is followed by young girls dressed in white and wearing lighted wreaths on their heads and boys dressed in white pajama-like costume singing traditional songs. The festival marks the beginning of the Christmas season in Scandinavia, and it is meant to bring hope and light during the darkest time of the year.” Not anymore. At St Mary’s School it’s been decided that the 40 or so children aged 7 to 10 who will take part in the Lucia procession will do so without the traditional elements of the celebration. The reason? Muslim children dropped out of last year’s celebration because their parents were uncomfortable with the connection and felt excluded in the Christmas celebration [Muslims reject Jesus Christ as God's Son**] … their parents were the ones who chose exclusion.
| In the West, where Muslims are granted all sorts of concessions — beginning with the gift of migrating from the Third to the First World — Christmas is increasingly being stifled, lest it offend them. Meanwhile, in the Muslim world, the Christmas season sees only an uptick of the persecution of Christian “infidels” = non Muslims. Christmas is under attack in the West, not only because of Muslims, but because of homegrown Western elements who despise the Christian holiday and everything it represents = faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 10:22; Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17 [4] Muslims are being used as pawns and pretext to their own hatred of Christians. That, by the way, is the case with everything Western people are told they must suppress — beginning with their religion — in the name of “inclusivity.” In the end, this exercise in self-suppression is not about accommodating minority groups but rather sabotaging Western civilization, its beliefs and traditions – faith, family and country. ** Islam & Jesus 8 min video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWT5zqPdTPY [1] San Bernardino CA https://www.breitbart.com/local/2016/12/01/san-bernardino-terrorist-attack-likely-targeted-party-christmas/ [2] Nigeria: https://www.christianpost.com/news/christmas-day-massacre-boko-haram-kills-16-people-children-kidnaps-villagers-burns-homes.html [3] Philippines https://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/12/philippines-muslims-murder-seven-christian-farmers-in-christmas-eve-raids [4] Hate Jesus & hate followers https://www.biblehub.com/matthew/10-22.htm *Excerpted and adapted full original report from Raymond Ibrahim, author of Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam and Sword and Scimitar is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center here https://stream.org/the-islamic-war-on-christmas/ |

Sinjar is wedged between Turkey to the north and Syria to the west, making it a highly strategic zone long coveted by both the central government in Baghdad and the KRG in the north. Apart from Turkey, the KRG is also irked by the presence of the PKK in the area. [..] In its more than 40-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union – has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women, children and infants. In June 2020 Turkey launched Operations Claw-Tiger and Claw-Eagle in northern Iraq to ensure the safety of Turks and its national borders by eliminating terrorist threats while it launched Operation Claw-Eagle 2 in February 2021...

Iran & Turkey: Iran Fears Turkey is Fueling Separatism in the Islamic nation of Azerbaijan
|
12-14-20, TVUIsraelNews – In recent days during a state visit to Azerbaijan, Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan reviewed a military parade marking Azerbaijan’s victory in the 1990’s over Armenia in a bloody war which saw them seize other outlying regions belonging to Azerbaijan.
Russia brokered a ceasefire in the recent Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by locking in the Azeri gains, as well as the deployment of Russian peacekeepers to the region. In a separate deal, Moscow and Ankara also agreed to jointly monitor the truce. It failed. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55292613 While he was in Baku, Erdoğan recited an Azeri-Iranian poem about the division of Azerbaijan’s territory between Russia and Iran in the 19th century. Tehran was immediately incensed over the remarks, out of apparent concern they could fan separatist tendencies among Iran’s Azeri minority. Both nations have summoned their ambassadors to return home from the other nation over the incident. The northwest Iranian region of Azerbaijan borders on the independent state of Azerbaijan, that is a former Soviet Republic. Azeris observe Shi’ite Islam – which is the same as Iran’s official state religion; Turkey’s state Islamic religion is Sunni. |
On its website Iran’s Foreign Ministry said: “The Turkish ambassador was informed that the era of territorial claims and expansionist empires is over. Iran does not allow anyone to meddle in its territorial integrity.”
And Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif fumed in a Twitter post: “President Erdoğan was not informed that what he ill-recited in Baku refers to the forcible separation of areas…from (the) Iranian motherland. NO ONE can talk about OUR beloved Azerbaijan.” [..] Speaking alongside Azeri counterpart renewing his call for a change of the Yerevan government Erdoğan said his nation doesn’t “hold any grudge against Armenian people – our problem is with the Armenian leadership.” [..] Azeri President Aliyev stated that “If the Armenian leadership draws the right consequences from the war, drop their unfounded claims and look into the future, they also have a place in this platform. We are open to this.” |
10-11-17, Daniel Pipes, clarionproject.org -- Iran & Turkey rivalry goes back a half-millennium, included 11 wars, and now remains, in the words of the Washington Institute’s Soner Cagaptay, the region’s “oldest power game.” What does the recent accord signify and how will their competition influence the region’s future?
Iranian and Turkish parallels are noteworthy. Both countries have populations of 80 million. (Egypt, the region’s third large country, has 96 million.) Both boast ancient civilizations, long imperial histories, tensions with Russia, and a successful avoidance of European colonialism. In modern times, each came under the rule of a ruthless modernizer after World War I, followed more recently by an even more repressive Islamist.

_________________
In an era of muted anti-Zionism from Arab states, Tehran and Ankara now lead the charge, with the Islamic Republic of Iran loudly denying the Holocaust and the Republic of Turkey comparing Israelis to Nazis.In several ways, Iranians lead Turks, but the latter are catching up.
Their most major difference concerns the attitudes of their subjects. Whereas Khamene’i enjoys the support of only about 15 percent of the populace, Erdoğan can count on some 45 percent, affording Erdoğan a legitimacy and confidence that Khamene’i can only dream of.
Tensions have reached the point that Ali Vaez of the International Crisis Group finds Tehran and Ankara “on a collision course.” Left unchecked, he expects the present dynamics to point “toward greater bloodshed, growing instability and greater risks of direct … military confrontation.” More poetically, Cagaptay observes that the Middle East has room for “one shah or sultan, but not a shah and a sultan.”

| At least 15 dead in armed attack on Shia shrine in Iran's Shiraz City [here] 10-26-22, Alarabiya -- At least 15 people were killed and 40 were injured in an armed attack on worshipers in a Shia pilgrimage site in Iran's city of Shiraz, ... The attack took place on the same day that clashes broke out at the burial site of Mahsa Amini in Saqqez, a city in the Kurdistan province... | 10-26-22, Aljazeera -- The Iranian foreign ministry said it imposed sanctions on 12 individuals and eight organisations for their "intentional actions in supporting terrorism and terrorist groups,..." | This is the first time Iran has officially sanctioned EU officials and institutions, a move that comes as a reaction to the bloc’s sanctions on Iran’s so-called morality police and others earlier this month over their alleged roles in what it called the “brutal killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini" 40 days ago. |
Iran's Islamic Terror Group Hezbollah Now 1200 miles from Florida in Venezuela
| 9-22-22, * -- Retired U.S. Border Patrol agent Randy Clark served as Chief of Law Enforcement Operations in the Del Rio area of Texas. He reports that the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security has apprehended Venezuelan men who President Maduro of Venezuela is intentionally releasing criminals convicted of serious felonies (murder, rape, extortion, arson) and sending them north to infiltrate the U.S. border. It’s estimated that since October 2021 around 130,000 criminals have crossed the USA border. | 9-21-22, Retired U.S. Army Infantry Colonel and former member of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Dr. Larry Franklin in charge of the “Iran Desk” under Defense Sec Donald Rumsfeld reports that some Iranians have been apprehended by US border guards illegally crossing America's border with Mexico. These illegals could be fulfilling passive missions such as manning Iran's Islamic terror group Hezbollah [1] cells in the US, while others could be commissioned to execute intelligence or terrorist-support operations. [2] |
Currently what matters is that enemies of the USA, Iranian Islamic terror groups are now conspiring against the people of the United States and only 1200 miles from Florida. And let’s acknowledge that no Muslim has ever been opposed to aiding Satan in destroying its enemies and all non Muslims - they call infidels – are their declared enemies.

| September 17, 2022Biden's Iran Deal: It's All About the Oil [more here] 9-12-22, AmericanThinker -- Recently ole Joe Biden's Sec of State Anthony Blinken called Iran's latest demands in the on-again, off-again nuclear negotiation, "a step backward," making a deal "unlikely." The Iranians want the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to shelve its investigation into Iran's undeclared uranium enrichment activities and figured they could get the U.S. to cave, as it did when John Kerry was leading the U.S. negotiating team in 2015. [..] | Today, the Intl Atomic Energy Agency, under chief, the Italian Raphael Grossi, is refusing to back away from demands that Iran explain past nuclear weapons research and the presence of traces of weapons-grade uranium at supposedly civilian production sites. In June, the IAEA's 35-nation Board of Governors passed a motion censuring Iran for its non-cooperation. The IAEA has been begging the Iranians for years for "technically credible explanations" to whitewash the evidence of nuclear weapons activity. Tthat should be a clear indicator of their intent. |
Wennesland Ignoring "Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine" [1] [aka Jewish State of Israel]
8-9-22, IsraelNationalNews -- The peace plan that's being ignored is Shihabi’s solution was published in Al Arabiya News– reportedly 60% majority owned by the Saudi Government.According to MEMRI - the political editor of the Jordanian news outlet jo24.net has written: "This article must not be seen as a mere opinion piece published by media, since that happens [only] in democratic countries. In contrast, on the [Saudi] Al-Arabiya channel, not one letter is published without a minute examination, and therefore the article necessarily expresses Al-Arabiya's [position]”

It is amazing to think that one of the highest ranking United Nations officials dealing with the Palestine question – Tor Wennesland - could address the Security Council on the current situation without telling that august body of a significant new proposal that could finally end this 100-years old unresolved Jewish-Arab conflict. That proposal – emanating from Saudi Arabia – calls for the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of the 'West Bank' into one single territorial entity to be called The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine.
[1] The Hashemites are the royal family of Jordan, which they have ruled since 1921, and were the royal family of the kingdoms of Hejaz (1916–1925), Syria (1920), and Iraq (1921–1958). The family had ruled the city of Mecca continuously from the 10th century, frequently as vassals of outside powers, and were given the thrones of the Hejaz, Syria, Iraq, and Jordan following their World War I alliance with the British Empire; this arrangement became known as the "Sharifian solution".

| 6-7-21, NYPost *-- Ole Joe Biden's envoys want to revive the Iran deal [2014 Obama deal (here)] at all costs, American blood be forgotten and regional prestige be damned. ... On July 10, 2015 Iran and the six world powers— the USA, China, Russia, Great Britain, France, Germany & EU signed a nuclear deal called the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.” Any examination of this deal has to start with the ugly - but accurate assumption that - Iran will, at every opportunity, act in bad faith - and in his wisdom President Trump canceled the deal. | Iran has cheated the international nuclear inspectors by hiding undeclared nuclear material at secret sites. It's produced uranium metal, despite the Iran deal’s ban on Tehran “producing or acquiring plutonium or uranium metal or their alloys,” and reneged on its commitments under the global chemical- and biological-weapons conventions. This part-time president, Joe Biden, is a full-time appeaser of Tehran, Iran — and he's determined to give the terrorist regime the keys to a nuclear-armed empire again ... |

USA Paying Islamic Terrorists to Fly People from Afghanistan
| 8-31-22, The USA under the command of ole Joe Biden, is buying bulk tickets on the Islamic terror Ariana Afghan Airlines. According to a congressional report, the USA is paying "approximately $300,000 per flight to Taliban controlled airline to allow U.S. citizens and Afghan allies to continue evacuating." With tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand Afghans in the pipeline, the Taliban could see over $100 million in payments from Biden for its airline. | Even the Clinton administration had sanctioned Ariana, while Biden is funding Ariana flights, allowing the terror airline to maintain its legitimacy and finance its operations. On September 11, 2001, the Islamic terrorists, Al Qaeda infiltrated the USA and flew airplanes into our buildings. Now, the terrorists are inflitrating their cash cows and terrorists into America. And we’re paying their airline for the tickets. | It’s a myth that the Taliban are not allowing Afghans to leave. They’re happy to facilitate the trip for the right price. They’re also willing to let Americans and other foreigners visit since “the Taliban leadership also made more than $1 million in visa fees paid by more than 4,100 foreign nationals who have visited Afghanistan over the past year.” Many if not most of those visitors are involved in humanitarian aid organizations which the United States is also financing.

| Joe Biden inches closer to nuclear deal with Iran 8-24-22, WashingtonTimes -- On 8/24/22 Ole Joe Biden's administration inched closer to restarting a controversial nuclear deal with Iran, brushing aside stark warnings from key American ally Israel and sidestepping mounting evidence that Tehran and its proxies have not moderated their behavior on other fronts and remain intent on targeting U.S. troops, officials, allies and interests. The U.S. & Iran are now wrangling over details of the current plan put forward by the EU to revive the 2015 Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan ... | Biden on verge of making worst deal ever with Iran 3-4-22, NYPost -- While Obama's 2015 Iran nuclear deal was bad; the coming deal is even worse. Ole Joe Biden's administration recently said it's close to announcing a Russian-brokered deal with Iran that will flood the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism with billions of dollars and leave Tehran on the nuclear weapons threshold. Obama's deal let Iran keep enriching uranium, developing nuclear-capable missiles and sponsoring terrorism in exchange for billions of dollars in US sanctions relief. More here from Hoover Inst |
| ISRAEL IS BEING CRITICIZED OVER CIVILIAN CASUALTIES, BUT WOULD US FORCES PERFORM ANY BETTER? 8-21-22, The answer is no. The recent Gaza violence is an excellent reminder for US ground forces to look critically at our own capacities. The need to execute feasible yet acceptable courses of action to satisfy the 'fairness' goals of the world is not fair to those who are the victims of the original attacks. In Israel disproportionate collateral damage is happening because the Muslims terrorists place their rocket launchers in civilian locations and blame the Jews for being inhumane when they fight back ... | Were 5 Gazan kids killed by IDF or Islamic Jihad? [more here] On August 6, 2022 Israel Defense officials were quickly able to determine that not only were the IDF not responsible, but that Islamic Jihad very clearly was. A headline in Germany’s Bild newspaper on Sunday morning read, “Palestinian missile kills civilians in Gaza: Terror bullets explode on their own territory.” CNN noted that, “In one incident Saturday, four children were among seven people killed in an explosion in Jabalya. The Palestinian Health Ministry initially said the blast was caused by an Israeli airstrike. Israel rejected the claim and said it was the result of errant rocket fire, and released a video showing what it said was the Islamic Jihad rocket sharply changing course in the air and hitting civilians." | An Islamic Jihad rocket misfire claimed the lives of at least nine people in Jabalya, including four children. The IDF published a video to support its claims. One of the hundreds of rockets Palestinian Islamic Jihad launched toward Israelis backfired, falling and exploding in Gaza itself. This time it was fired from a mosque, compounding the war crime of acting from civilian populations onto the war crime of attacking them. Two videos, one from Palestinian sources spread on social media and another grainy, black-and-white one from the IDF, showed what actually took place. |

In French National Assembly, Far Right and Far Left May Unite Against Israel - Or not
| 7-28-22, FrontPageMag -- On 7/20/22 the Islamic 'Palestinian' leader, Mahmoud Abbas visited France attempting to convince French President Emmanuel Macron that Israelis killed in cold blood and without reason Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. [..] Macron, at a press conference at the Elysee Palace in Paris alongside Abbas, stressed the need for Israeli-Palestinian peace talks to resume; there have been none since 2014. He stressed the need for the “renewal of direct political dialogue between the Israelis and the Palestinians.” He warned that violence could break out at any time and that negotiations may be a “difficult path, but we have no other alternative.” | Antisemitism is “stronger and more rampant” in France today because the chief carriers of the 'virus' ... the millions of Muslim migrants who bring Jew hatred with them, undeclared, as part of their mental baggage. Fortunately for the Jewish state of Israel, President Macron is too busy focusing on his domestic agenda; he is not wanting to engage in a fight over Israel and the Muslims with either the Far Left or the Far Right. So they will almost certainly ignore Abbas’ request to get involved. So Abbas may find, after all, that he has to return to the Americans as potential arbiters with Israel, for he has nowhere else to go. More here |
7-24-22, Almighty God's Promise and covenant of the land of Israel was to Abraham, Sarah & Isaac: Their descendants would be as the sand of the sea shore - He bequeathed the land to the Jews. In modern times the Hebrew people of the Jewish state of Israel have purchased more land in Palestine. However, long before - Abraham and Jacob also made land purchases in Canaan. The Arabs/Muslims argue that the Jews don't own the land of Israel; that is false. Genesis 17:21, 22:17, 23:20, 32:12, 33:19-20, 50:13; Leviticus 27:16

Turkey Seeks to Bury the Current Byzantines
Who Are Modern Day ‘Byzantines?’ = Christians
| 7-12-22, * -- On May 29, 2022 [1] in Istanbul [formerly Constantinople] and other cities in Turkey, elaborate celebrations were held to commemorate the 569th anniversary of the 1453 AD Islamic conquest of Constantinople. Most Westerners today are unaware of the history between Muslim Turkey and Christian Byzantium. History: Towards the end of the first millennium [appx 700 AD], the Turks, whose origins lay in the steppes of Asia became Muslim and began to raid and conquer portions of Asia Minor, which was then and had been for a millennium Greek and Christian. By the end of the 14th century they had conquered it entirely and began eying Constantinople. | Although generations of Turks repeatedly besieged it, it - on May 29, 1453 AD finally fell to Erdogan’s hero: Muhammad II (or “Mehmet”) [2]. What made Constantinople an enemy to the Turks? The same thing that made every non-Muslim nation an enemy: it was “infidel” non-Muslim and in this case, Christian. That was the sole justification and pretext — the sole “grievance.” [..] When Muhammad’s army had conquered it -- they pillaged, killed, raped, taking captive men, women, children, priests … everyone. [..] The possession of the Christian Cathedral the Hagia Sophia — which at the time served Christians a thousand years — the invaders “engaged in every kind of vileness within it, making of it a public brothel.” [..] |
| Hagia Sophia Cathedral today was a museum for nearly a century; but in 2021 Turkey’s President Erdogan rededicated it into an Islamic mosque. The conquest of Constantinople and the conversion of the Hagia Sophia Mosque are among the most glorious chapters of Islamic Turkish history. Erdoğan’s said: “As our ancestors buried Byzantium, let us hope that today, by building our vision for 2053, we also manage to put in the time warp of history the current Byzantines who are plotting against us.” [..] During the recent May 29, 2022 celebrations [1] apparently Erdoğan confirmed his approval of all the many unprovoked atrocities and conquests Muhammad committed. He boasted: “Do you know that Sultan Mehmet [Muhammad II] the Conqueror is not only the conqueror of Constantinople, but also the conqueror of Serbia, the Peloponnese, Athens, Wallachia, Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina?” | Tayyip Erdogan instead of being a modern day president who’s interested in living in peace with his neighbors, sees himself as more of a sultan, dedicated to advancing Islam wanting to rebuild the Ottoman empire while humiliating infidels through jihad [war]. The jihadist ideology dominates today’s Turkey; not due to any grievances, but because they are infidels/non-Muslim and with all Mohammad’s atrocities to resume once the sunset of Western power is complete.

| 1976 Hijacking to Entebbe, Uganda On June 27, 1976 a plane with 103 Israeli passengers was hijacked and forced to land in Uganda. [..] On July 3, 1976 Israel dispatched four Hercules C-130H cargo planes carrying 100–200 soldiers and escorted by Phantom jet fighters. The Israeli force rescued 101 hostages within an hour after landing. All seven of the militants were killed. The Israelis lost one soldier and three hostages. The success of the Entebbe raid substantially boosted Israeli morale. | Saudi Arabia tells Biden & UN: No State between Israel & Jordan 6-27-22, Saudi journalist Arabia Ali Shihabi supports and has the ear of Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman (MBS) – the controversial next successor to the Saudi throne. He sent Joe Biden and the United Nations (UN) a clear message to abandon the idea of creating a new Arab State between Israel and Jordan in an article published in Al-Arabiya News on 8 June headlined: The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine. |
Twenty-Two Nations Slam UN Human Rights Council's anti-Israel bias

Regrettably, we are concerned that the Commission of Inquiry will further contribute to the polarization of a situation about which so many of us are concerned.”Signed by the U.S., Israel, Austria, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Cameroon, Colombia, Croatia, Eswatini, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, North Macedonia, Holland, Palau, Togo and the United Kingdom.
