6 Jewish extremist hit with terror charges after years of anti-Arab rhetoric November 27th 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ The leader of a Jewish extremist group was charged with incitement to violence and racism and support for terrorism the Jerusalem District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday The charges leveled against Lehava head Bentzi Gopstein relate to numerous inflammatory public statements he made about Arabs between 2012 and 2017 Gopstein’s far-right group Lehava opposes miscegenation and the assimilation of Jews and tries to stifle any public activity by non-Jews in Israel Lehava which some lawmakers have tried to designate a terrorist group has frequently called for action to be taken against non-Jews in order to “save the daughters of Israel” Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up The indictment handed down in the Jerusalem District Court cited a 2012 incident in which Gopstein grabbed a microphone at his daughter’s wedding in the Modiin Illit settlement and began singing a song glorifying Baruch Goldstein a Jewish terrorist who killed 29 Palestinian worshipers at Hebron’s Tomb of the Patriarchs in 1994 Also cited by prosecutors was a 2012 TV interview in which Gopstein boasted that he refused to hire or work with Arab employees When asked what would happen if he had an Arab server at a wedding Gopstein responded that the caterer would “have to look for the nearest hospital” In a separate interview on Channel 2 now Channel 12 Gopstein asserted that “there’s no shortage of Arabs who deserved to be beaten up” particularly ones who flirt with Jewish women The charge sheet also noted his 2014 speech at a memorial ceremony for slain extremist rabbi Meir Kahane in which he railed against Palestinians calling them a “cancer” “The enemies within us are a cancer and if we don’t get rid of this cancer we won’t be able to continue existing here as Jews” he said “The Temple Mount has the largest cancer growth of them all… as long as the Israeli government fails to remove that growth from the Temple Mount Israel will never be fully redeemed” After the indictment was filed Tuesday Gopstein said the charges amounted to state-sanctioned persecution and claimed it was an effort to silence his right-wing political views “The attorney general has decided that preventing assimilation is the same as racism” he said Tuesday “It’s a black day when the justice department goes against the teachings of Israel” “But this isn’t going to help them I will continue to work for the girls of Israel and for the Jewish state” Gopstein added Gopstein has previously been arrested on a number of occasions and investigated for statements he made against non-Jews including for an article in which he called Christians living in Israel “bloodsuckers” He was also arrested shortly after members of his group tried to burn down an Arab-Jewish school in Jerusalem in November 2014 Gopstein was not charged over the attack for which three Lehava members were eventually convicted More recently Gopstein launched a political career serving in a top post in the extreme-right party Otzma Yehudit but was barred from running in the 2019 elections Otzma Yehudit supports encouraging emigration of non-Jews from Israel and expelling Palestinians and Israeli Arabs who refuse to declare loyalty to Israel and accept diminished status in an expanded Jewish state whose sovereignty extends throughout the West Bank The party’s former No 1 Michael Ben Ari was barred from running in the April elections by the Supreme Court under anti-racism laws In August the court also barred Gopstein and Baruch Marzel from running on the party list citing the anti-racism clause During that hearing the panel of nine justices noted that Gopstein’s anti-Arab rhetoric “revealed a new low point in the racial discourse that we have not known before” Supreme Court President Esther Hayut explained in the court’s decision that Gopstein’s remarks “unequivocally” proved that he “systematically incites racism against the Arab public” Source Article from Related Posts Ten Years Ago Illuminati Poisoned Philip Jones lt!CDATA gt Jones

Algorithm can sum up texts in any language November 27th 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ Researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev said they have developed software that can automatically summarize texts in a variety of languages to help readers go through articles magazines databases and academic research faster and more efficiently A huge increase of online textual data combined with the fact that people are always short of time has created the need for an automated method for extracting key points from texts such as articles or interviews for further processing Most solutions available today are language dependent and require training the algorithms on large volumes of text the statement said Get The Start-Up Israel’s Daily Start-Up by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up The new software invented by Prof Mark Last Dr Marina Litvak and Dr Menahem Friedman at the Department of Software and Information Systems Engineering of Ben-Gurion University provides language-independent summaries of texts based on an optimization algorithm that uses the process of natural selection a so-called “genetic algorithm” The software selects a subset of the most relevant sentences from a source text ranks them by a relevance score that is independent of language and selects the top-ranking sentences into a summary said Prof Last in the statement issued by BGN Technologies the technology transfer arm of the university The ability to quickly summarize large quantities of text in a language-independent manner “is crucial” for search engines as well as other end-users such as researchers libraries and the media he said The method called MUSE – Multilingual Sentence Extractor was tested on nine languages: English Hebrew Arabic Persian Russian Chinese German French and Spanish The results showed a high level of similarity to human-generated summaries the statement said The scientists trained the algorithms with a group of documents that each had several human generated summaries After the training ended the researchers found that the software did not need to be retrained with summarized documents for each new language and the same sentence-ranking model they developed could be used across several languages Zafrir Levy senior VP Business Development BGN Technologies said the tool would be “a valuable addition to our ability to benefit from the vast amounts of text available online” BGN Technologies has filed a patent to protect the technology and is looking for potential partners for further development and

skill of balancing art November 27th 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ BEIT HANOUN Gaza Strip — Whenever Mohammed al-Shenbari sees a new object he quickly tries to find its “balancing point” and make it stand in a way that appears to defy the law of gravity The 24-year-old self-taught Palestinian artist says he can balance almost any object using what he calls a mix of mind and body This has made him a popular entertainer and frequent participant in psychological support sessions that are common in conflict-ridden poverty-stricken Gaza Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up In the yard of his home in northern Gaza al-Shenbari stood a chair on one leg propped two gas canisters on a slanted pipe wrench and balanced an upside-down TV screen on the rim of a Coke bottle “You just need to know the fulcrum of the object and you get it” he said A fitness and bodybuilding coach al-Shenbari says his healthy lifestyle helped him slowly develop “the great focus” required to balance the objects “When I do this I feel something indescribable like a magnet drawing out energy from me toward the objects” he said after he stacked four oddly angled cans of beans on a wood frame hanging off a tree A year ago al-Shenbari came across a YouTube video by a Korean balance artist Nam Seok Byun and was fascinated by the way the artist arranged layers of rocks delicately supported by round pebbles Trying to emulate his hero al-Shenbari said he would spend days working on what now seem like basic sculptures Now it takes him just a few minutes and several attempts to figure things out Gaza is sandwiched between Israel and Egypt which have kept it under a blockade for 12 years since the Hamas terrorist group took power After years of living under the blockade and three devastating wars between Israel and Hamas al-Shenbari like many young Gazans wants to leave the territory in search of better opportunities His dream is to compete on reality TV shows and travel to Asia where he says the art of balancing is practiced to improve his skills “I want to balance larger objects like a washing machine or a fridge” he said Times of Israel staff

military chief supports forming a mutual defense treaty with the US Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump briefly broached the subject of a mutual defense pact between Jerusalem and Washington ahead of Israeli elections in September but since then neither side has commented on any possible negotiations Speaking to a Washington think tank on Thursday Dermer said the idea had support from IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi and National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat as well as Netanyahu Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up Dermer said “senior members” of the Trump administration are also “positively inclined” as are some “senior senators” “There is serious interest on both sides” Dermer told the Jewish Institute for National Security of America conference “Such a treaty would provide us with an additional layer of deterrence against the most extreme threats that Israel faces” The IDF spokesperson’s office refused to comment and there was no reaction from the Trump administration Any potential defense pact is seen as highly controversial with the Israeli defense establishment with officials concerned an accord on tighter defense cooperation could tie the hands of the Israeli military in certain undertakings or at the very least limit its freedom to act independently Given the already robust US-Israel defense cooperation formalizing it in a mutual defense treaty would bring little to no additional benefit say many experts including former top diplomats and defense officials Instead these critics warn it may hamper Israel’s freedom to act militarily and would likely include an obligation to send troops on overseas missions to fight America’s wars Dermer admitted there had been serious criticism in Israel of having a defense pact amid “concerns it could inhibit Israel’s freedom of operation” “Israel must never and will never agree to a defense treaty that ties our hands” he stated and added that he envisions a “narrow treaty” that serves the defense needs of both sides Days before Israel’s September 17 elections Trump tweeted that he had spoken with Netanyahu on the phone about a potential pact and that he hoped to continue such talks after the vote Trump tweeted that such a treaty “would further anchor the tremendous alliance between our two countries” However

“Shabbat-culture” lecture series would be too “provocative” a move given what it said was Tibi’s criticism of Israeli troops in the past “Ahmad Tibi’s statements have hurt the feelings of some of the bereaved families The political discourse has been awakened and the current circumstances have stirred the emotions of the public and the bereaved families in particular” Yad Lebanim director Eli Ben-Shem said in a letter to the municipality Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up Yad Lebanim is the umbrella body that oversees commemoration of Israeli fallen soldiers and victims of terror attacks The organization owns dozens of spaces across the country that serve as guesthouses and venues for various cultural events On Saturday its venue in Ramat Hasharon was scheduled to host a panel that included Tibi the number 2 on the Joint List Knesset faction The event was relocated to a nearby venue “Tibi is not unacceptable in my eyes or in the eyes of the bereaved families” Ben-Shem wrote “However… we must strive to not hurt the feelings of the bereaved families who are sensitive to the things that Tibi has said about IDF soldiers over the years” Ben-Shem did not say what statements Tibi had made that the families would object to but in 2012 the Knesset member accused IDF soldiers of being “child-murderers” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his supporters have without offering proof portrayed Tibi and other Arab lawmakers in recent weeks as supporters of terror groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad Tibi’s office confirmed that he was still planning to attend the event on Saturday “Obviously there are differences of opinion between us but this is the whole point of this panel: to hear the other bridge gaps and reduce

Benny Gantz forming a minority government backed by the Joint List from the outside Last week the prime minister held a rally where he likened a minority government backed by the Joint List to a “terror attack” He accused members of the Joint List of seeking to “destroy the country” and claimed without proof that the “dangerous” Arab MKs supported the Gaza terror organizations that Israel fought against in recent weeks While some Joint List MKs spoke out against the targeted killing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group’s senior commander Baha Abu al-Ata as well as the IDF’s airstrikes in Gaza none of them expressed support for Islamic Jihad or its targeting of Israeli civilians Netanyahu’s remarks drew criticism from his political opponents as well as President Reuven

‘My dream was destroyed’: Home demolitions soar in East Jerusalem November 27th 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ On November 5 Muatasem Abbasi became a statistic His home in Silwan which he shared with his parents joined the ranks of the 155 Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem the Jerusalem municipality has demolished so far this year as of November 14 The reason: it had been built without a permit Abbasi whose home was built in 2011 said they had been trying to get a building permit for years Two years ago city inspectors came to look at the house and then went away He was not aware of any demolition order against his house In February he was fined NIS 80000 for building without a permit and has been paying the municipality in monthly installments of NIS 1300 On the morning of November 5 Abbasi 30 had left for work His 23-year-old wife Bara’a Obaid was home alone with their two toddlers when the police arrived His parents were in their home on the second floor of the building “They knocked on the door and told me to open up” recalled Obaid “I asked them to wait a moment so I could cover my hair but they didn’t let me close the door and they came inside They gave me five minutes to get dressed and dress my children They didn’t let me take anything They threw our things from the window I asked from them a number of times for a little bit of mercy but they didn’t give me any” With the help of family and friends the couple was able to gather a few pieces of clothing and rescue a white living room set from the rubble of the home For the next month they are staying in an unused apartment Abbasi’s uncle built on top of his own home for one of his sons in a crowded neighborhood near the Mount of Olives Their grandmother bought the children some new clothes so they would have something to wear and Abbasi’s parents went to live with his older brother “For five years we lived together in our house nobody bothered us and we didn’t bother anybody We were in our house and our children ran outside and the only thing we heard was their laughter” said Obaid “All day now my son remembers how the police destroyed our house” A 15-year high in home demolitions According to B’Tselem the Israeli human rights NGO Israeli authorities have demolished more East Jerusalem Palestinian homes in 2019 than in any single year since 2004 For the past 15 years an average of 54 residential units a year were demolished There has also been a marked increase in the number of Palestinians who demolish their own homes in order to avoid incurring the fine imposed by the municipality for carrying out the demolition This year 37 people demolished their own homes compared to only 12 last year Since 1967 Israel has expropriated more than 38 percent of East Jerusalem for the construction of settlements for Israelis Today Palestinians constitute 37 percent of Jerusalem’s population however only 15 percent of East Jerusalem and 85 percent of the total area of the city is zoned for their residential use “It’s true that we built the house without a legal permit” said Abbasi his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep three days after the demolition “But we tried to get a permit we tried several times We got an engineer and an architect and a lawyer I paid 30000 to the planning authorities We were waiting to go to court” Four months ago the municipality also demolished a row of small shops and offices Abbasi and his brother had built down the hill from his house His brother had used one of the spaces for his accounting office and another brother had a furniture business in one of the shops There was also a small cafe at the site All three brothers lost their livelihood when the buildings were destroyed Abbasi a plumber and carpenter by trade has not been able to go back to work he said “I don’t know how I will continue because they not only destroyed a house they demolished a whole family The first time they hurt my livelihood then they destroyed my home” said Abbasi The municipality did not respond to phone and email requests for comment on house demolitions in East Jerusalem in general or on the specific cases mentioned in this article ‘This is to show them who is boss here’ Between 1991-2018 municipal planners approved a total of 48201 housing units in Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem 21834 of which are in Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem In Palestinian neighborhoods of East Jerusalem only 9536 units were approved Ir Amim researcher Aviv Tatarsky cited an “astonishing” gap between what the municipality has approved in the Jewish and Palestinian neighborhoods of East Jerusalem This year he said some 12000 housing units were approved for Jewish neighborhoods compared to a mere 1500 in Palestinian neighborhoods “It is chronic discrimination and one of the issues most hurtful for Palestinians” said Tatarsky “The problem is we tend to focus too much on the issue of settlements and we forget that Palestinians are marrying and need homes regardless of the big political issue” Tatarsky believes that Israel’s planning and building policy is motivated by demographic considerations: they want to annex land without including too many Palestinians According to this theory Palestinians will leave Jerusalem if they cannot build a home in the city But Jerusalem expert and lawyer Daniel Seidemann said the issue is more about asserting Israeli control rather than pushing Palestinians out “This is to show who is boss here To show that yes you Palestinians have rights here but they can be withdrawn you have property here but we can expropriate you have residency rights but we can cancel them” he said “The subjugation of Palestinians is included in the occupation The atmosphere is difficult so Israel is doubling down on the occupation…using repressive and controlling measures in order to sustain itself” Additionally Seidemann said since most Palestinians in East Jerusalem do not vote in municipal elections politicians have no incentive to take up their cause Just below French Hill a Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem Ishaq Hamdan a 55-year-old car mechanic has been trying to build on a plot of land he owns at the edge of the Palestinian village of Issawiya In 1985 he built a house that was demolished In 1995 he tried to build his own garage but it too was demolished In 2000 he began building a wedding hall but the Israeli authorities destroyed it upon its completion in 2008 In 2014 he decided to build two apartments for his older sons they too were torn down Hamdan served over two years in prison for driving without a license it was revoked because he had not paid all his building fines Now he is living in the middle of the crowded old part of the village Most recently Hamdan built a carwash on his property for his son to work at and a small stable for his youngest son’s horse In early November the car wash and the horse stable were demolished and even the water tank for the horse’s water was toppled over so they wouldn’t be able to use it Meanwhile according to the Jerusalem municipality’s website on September 11 the local Planning and Building Committee chaired by Deputy Mayor Eliezer Rauchenberger approved plans to renovate the French Hill commercial center which is about a 15-minute drive from Hamdan’s plot The Commercial Center Renovation Plan would replace the old commercial center with a mixed-use complex to include a large urban plaza new public buildings and the construction of five buildings — two 12-story buildings two 18-story buildings and one eight-story building with the upper floors to include 213 new residential units From where he stands near the toppled water tank Hamdan gazes up at the multi-family cottages of French Hill They creep down the hillside toward what was once the agricultural land of Issawiya “What can I do Eat my heart out I will have a heart attack” said the father of six who now owes the municipality over NIS 1 million for building fines One of his sons is an architect and the other is studying to be an engineer “I just want to know why it is forbidden to build here I have to give my children apartments I don’t have the space in my house for everyone to live when they get married” He has a packet of documents he shuffles through attesting to his fines payments land ownership building plans adjustments to the building plans and court cases There is even a court order to put the demolition order on hold But nothing makes sense to him “I suffer because of this situation But it is important to stay here on this land” said Hamdan ‘I will give her back her dream’ At the other end of East Jerusalem in the Wadi Yasul neighborhood Quosiy Burqan walks by the debris of what had been his home The headboard of a bed juts out from under the broken cement Both his and his brother’s homes were demolished seven months ago Close to 500 people live in Wadi Yasul adjacent to a forest that was expropriated from its Palestinian owners in 1970 This forested area and the land where the Wadi Yasul neighborhood was established was zoned by the Jerusalem municipality as a green area in 1977 But Burqan’s father built the two homes in Wadi Yasul some 30 years ago “This land belongs to my father My children were born here I lived here when I was single We tried all the ways we could to get building permission” said Burqan one of 12 siblings When the police came that early morning in March this year to demolish the house his children were still in bed Neighbors stalled the police so he and his wife had enough time to quickly bundle up the children and take them to nearby Abu Tor where their grandparents live so they would not have to see their homes being demolished They were able to rescue very little from the homes he said adding: “The hardest thing was seeing my parents cry” In 2004 the residents of Wadi Yasul submitted a plan which they had paid for out of their own pockets to the District Planning and Building Committee for retroactive authorization of their homes but their request was rejected in 2008 on the grounds that the area was zoned to remain a green space There are now court-ordered demolitions for all the homes in Wadi Yasul though families have appealed the decision both with the District Court and the Supreme Court seeking an interim injunction on carrying out the orders All of the homes are still under threat of demolition and all residents were issued tens of thousands of shekels in fines “You know what is funny The city is

Palestine Director was deported from Israel on Monday after losing his legal battle to stay in the country The deportation marks the first time someone already living in Israel has been forced out of the country under a 2017 amendment to the Entry Law which allows the state to bar entry to foreign nationals it suspects of supporting Boycott Divestment and Sanctions BDS Shakir an American citizen was seen off by the heads and staff of several Israeli NGOs including Breaking the Silence Peace Now and Gisha who gathered at Ben-Gurion Airport Monday afternoon to protest his deportation The protestors at the airport held up signs reading “You can’t hide the occupation” At the beginning of November the Israeli Supreme Court rejected Shakir’s petition to stay in the country which he had filed after the Interior Ministry revoked his work visa in May 2018 and ordered him to leave the country within two weeks The government justified the cancellation of Shakir’s permit by arguing that as a student he supported boycotting Israel more than a decade ago and before becoming HRW’s Israel and Palestine director in 2017 Shakir was the head of Students for Justice in Palestine while attending Stanford University and at the time called for the school to disinvest from companies that profited from the occupation Shakir delivered a brief statement to the press before boarding his flight to Jordan from where he will continue to manage Human Rights Watch’s Israel and Palestine branch “Today culminates a two-and-a-half year effort to deport me because of my human rights advocacy as an effort to muzzle Human Rights Watch HRW” Shakir said “But that effort has failed and…has only shown the degree to which the human rights community Israeli and Palestinian are under attack” He then addressed the human rights NGO representatives who had come to the airport “I will continue to work every day for human rights in Israel and Palestine It has been the privilege of a lifetime to work with our Israeli and Palestinian partners and friends The hardest part of this is not being able to work with you every single day on the ground…but we continue that same fight and one day you will welcome me here I hope when it’s a better day…in which all people Israeli and Palestinian have their human rights respected and equality for all is the norm” Attorney Michael Sfard who represented Shakir called the expulsion “an act of cowardice” “The Israeli government is afraid of organizations that record the reality of the occupation and that protect human rights and is afraid of criticism” he said “We are undeterred and will continue the fight for human rights as will Omar and Human Rights Watch” he added Shakir was accompanied at the airport by HRW head Kenneth Roth and the head of its Middle East and North Africa branch Eric Goldstein who left the country with him Roth also speaking to the press said that despite Israel expelling Shakir in order to try and put a stop to his work he would be able to continue monitoring human rights from Amman the Jordanian capital where the Israeli government wouldn’t be able to “censor” the organization “The Israeli government thought that by censoring Human Rights Watch they could stop our reporting on the illegal settlements but it’s only reinforced our determination to continue reporting” Roth said “This move has utterly backfired and has only intensified the spotlight on the systematic oppression that exists today for Palestinians in the West Bank” A version of this post first appeared in Hebrew on Local

November 27th 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ Last winter I went to the mikveh — the Jewish ritual bath — for the first time as a form of protest Having been raised interfaith I was looking for an opportunity to revive my family’s lost traditions while also rooting myself in my Judaism in the face of rising anti-Semitism and white nationalism At the same time I was searching for a sense of moral clarity to navigate tumultuous communal politics while honoring my ancestors who were forced to leave their homes because of the same dangers Jews are facing today Instead of suppressing my identity as a Jew I wanted to amplify it So I studied with my rabbi for a year asking questions about my place within my own heritage as well as finding strength in solidarity amongst my people However there was one question I feared asking: As a Jew how do I reckon with the occupation I needed an answer to this question before I could go to the mikveh When I finally felt brave enough to ask the rabbis in my beit din I feared that my Judaism and my personal values would be permanently divorced — that I would be condemned for not explicitly supporting a country I’d been taught was a safe haven for Jews But if I wanted to confront white nationalism through my Judaism I knew I needed to confront the right-wing ideology and violence in Israel as well Thankfully the rabbis before me were vocal activists for Palestinian rights Yet I found myself with a whole new set of moral questions Now that I’d made a concrete commitment to Judaism was I expected to do the same for Israel How could my people who suffered countless atrocities commit acts of violence against Palestinians Furthermore how could I advocate for progressive values in the United States without advocating for the same humanity from the Israeli government These questions are polarizing and endangering the American Jewish community Yet they are too rarely voiced suppressed by American Jewish establishment groups like AIPAC who propagate the harmful idea that to be Jewish is to support Israel This same message has been co-opted by white nationalists who hide their anti-Semitic rhetoric and violence behind unconditional support for the Israeli government Equally the US’s near-uncontested military aid to Israel is often talked about as a defense against rising anti-Semitism when in reality it serves to deflect our leaders’ focus from the real and dangerous threat white nationalism poses to our people These issues are at the heart of a new platform released last week by IfNotNow which focuses in parallel on the most urgent crises facing our community today: rising anti-Semitism and white nationalism and the Israeli government’s military occupation over the Palestinian people By taking a bold stance on Israel/Palestine IfNotNow provides answers to the questions AIPAC has fought to contain The platform offers a path to meaningful safety for Jews and our neighbors here in the US by holding accountable politicians who amplify white nationalism and a path to freedom for Palestinians by pushing to end unconditional support for Israel As American Jews we have the power to demand that our representatives hold Israel accountable for the militarized occupation of Palestine We cannot stand idly by as our identity is weaponized to fund the Israeli government’s human rights violations in perpetuity It is also clear that the safety of American Jews is intrinsically tied to the freedom of Palestinians and that in order to achieve our own safety and security we must pressure our own elected officials to grant the same for Palestinians The campaigns to defund occupation and end white nationalism are interconnected and need engagement from everyone who desires freedom and dignity for all Jewish tradition teaches us to ask difficult questions and to act in solidarity with those around us Now is the time to ask these questions in full voice demanding answers as well as recognizing that the struggle against antisemitism is also the struggle for Palestinian freedom The IfNotNow 2020 platform offers clear answers that every public official should support Source Article

Weeks of impeachment hearings in the House of Representatives accusing President Trump of abusing his office with regard to Ukraine have achieved very little except for two things Ukraine’s international image has been trashed with corruption claims and depiction of the country as having vassal-like dependency on the US and secondly demonization of Russia which has been heightened as an “aggressor” supposedly out to destroy Ukraine The irony is that Washington purports to be an ally of Ukraine to promote democracy sovereignty and independence of the former Soviet republic But the upshot of the impeachment inquiry is that Ukraine’s independence and sovereignty is gravely undermined Also on rtcom Judge cites impeachment amp ‘extreme national concern’ to ORDER Pentagon amp budget office release files that are going public anyway When President Zelensky holds multilateral talks soon with Putin the Ukrainian leader will have little room to maneuver as a result of the cacophony back in the US The two leaders are due to meet on December 9 in Paris as part of a four-way summit also involving German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron The meeting is a return to long-suspended peace talks and an attempt to revive the 2015 Minsk accords for ending conflict in eastern Ukraine It is over three years since the so-called Normandy Format last convened The Minsk peace deal was never implemented mainly because former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko refused to fulfill commitments to give regional autonomy to pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine Consequently the war has dragged on for nearly five years Zelensky was elected by a landslide vote in April primarily on the ticket that he would seek a peace settlement In September he agreed in principle to grant special status for the Donbas breakaway region of eastern Ukraine Subsequently though Zelensky has appeared to backpedal on how much autonomy he is willing to countenance Troops under his command have begun withdrawing from the front line with separatists but it is not clear if that move marks a reliable de-escalation Alexander Lukashevich Russia’s permanent representative to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe stated on November 21 that forces under Kiev’s command are still violating terms of a truce by not removing combat hardware from the line of contact “This to put it mildly non-constructive approach to preparations for the Normandy meeting causes justified concern” he added Also on rtcom Ukraine claims Russia returned seized ships ‘ruined

after an infringement of its territory in the Kerch Strait The forthcoming meeting in Paris thus holds a fledgling start to finding a peaceful resolution to a conflict which has resulted in over 13000 dead and millions displaced from their homes However the impeachment debacle in Washington has painted Zelensky as a pathetic politician “who loves Trump’s a” and “who will do anything” to curry favor with the president The Democrats and obliging former US diplomats who had worked in Ukraine are claiming that Trump pressured Zelensky to dig dirt on Joe Biden his would-be Democrat rival in next year’s election So zealous are Trump’s political opponents in Washington together with the liberal media and US intelligence agencies to pin an impeachable offense on him that the Ukrainian president has ended up a lame-duck leader in the collateral damage This has generated much mockery among Ukrainians of the former comedian-turned-president who has been nicknamed “Monica” in reference to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton for his sexual affair with White House intern Monica Lewinksy Also on rtcom Impeachment hearing gets more bizarre with Sondland confirming ‘Zelensky loves Trump’s ass’ but vague on quid pro quo Even before the hearings in Congress got under way Zelensky had been under fire from Ukrainian nationalists who accuse him of “capitulating” to Russia over his willingness to negotiate a peace settlement in eastern Ukraine Kiev has seen large rallies of up to 20000 protesting Zelensky’s peace efforts as a betrayal In a recent media interview American professor Stephen Cohen an astute observer on Russia-Ukraine says that Zelensky is in a very precarious situation Despite being overwhelmingly elected to find a peaceful solution to Ukraine’s conflict the new president says Cohen has to contend with far-right paramilitary leaders who view any peace deal negotiated with Russia as treasonous Zelensky has been subjected to death threats As Cohen points out if the US was genuinely concerned about establishing peace and democracy in Ukraine then Washington should be fully supporting Zelensky’s overtures to Moscow to let him and the Ukrainian people know “we got your back” But as it is Zelensky is going into negotiations with Putin as an isolated figure who has been demeaned by Washington’s squabbling and caricatured as a stooge Thus what is being set up for the Ukrainian leader is an almost impossible task If he were to agree with Putin to a further withdrawal of military forces from the contact line with pro-Russian separatists or if he commits to implementing Minsk provisions for regional autonomy then the uproar in Washington is predictable Zelensky will be cast as selling out to Putin and capitulating to “Russian aggression” Also on rtcom Ukraine’s most powerful oligarch states the obvious: Ukraine has to turn back towards Russia Such is the delirium of Russophobia in Washington where Democrats and so-called ‘Russia experts’ like Fiona Hill have labeled Trump a “Kremlin agent” and “Bolshevik” the next sequence in their narrative is that Trump abused his office in order to get Zelensky to surrender to Putin Now we’re really talking impeachment so it goes Missing from the political fight in Washington are the following key issues: it was American and Europe interference in Ukraine not Russian that plunged the country into ongoing conflict That interference peaked with the CIA-backed coup in Kiev in February 2014 which led to Crimea seceding in a referendum and joining the Russian Federation The coup also led directly to the war in eastern Ukraine by a neo-Nazi regime in Kiev against the ethnic Russian population who understandably have demanded autonomy The 400 million in military aid that Trump is accused of using as leverage on Zelensky obscures the bigger picture of why the US has sent a total of 1 billion in military aid to the country in order to antagonize Russia This has long been the agenda of Washington’s foreign policy establishment to destabilize Russia by pushing Ukraine to join the NATO alliance The impeachment hearings against Trump have obscured and turned reality on its head The anti-Trump Democrats media and ‘deep state’ operatives want to exclude any wider investigation into corrupt dealings by the former Obama administration in Ukraine by asserting that any such claims are merely “Russian disinformation” Moreover not only is the truth about Washington’s corruption in Ukraine being concealed but the vassal status of Ukraine is complete by it not having any

they want to turn Ukraine Quid pro quo into Trump’s Benghazi November 27th 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ When the Benghazi investigation came to a close in 2014 the House Intelligence Committee found “no deliberate wrongdoing” by the Obama administration This was viewed as a massive failure for the GOP and a huge win for the Democrats Hillary Clinton in particular who everyone knew would be the next DNC candidate for president The Republican majority then set up a special Select Committee to continue the probe Kevin McCarthy at the time the Republican majority leader in the house was completely honest in a 2015 interview about why the GOP fought so hard to investigate Clinton’s involvement in the Benghazi disaster “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable right But we put together a Benghazi special committee a select committee What are her numbers today Her numbers are dropping Why Because she’s untrustable But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought” he said McCarthy and his Republican compatriots knew the likelihood of any sort of conviction coming down on any Obama officials was next to none That wasn’t the point The point of the Benghazi investigations was creating a “strategy to fight and win” – in the long term not the short term Convicting Clinton was never the goal the goal was to kick the DNC out of the White House People mocked McCarthy and the GOP establishment after the Benghazi hearings and again when he admitted the real reason behind those investigations But they stopped mocking him after Donald Trump assumed office almost 4 years ago They stopped mocking when the leftist tears began to flow when it became clear that their much-anticipated progressive future had crumbled into useless dust Also on rtcom Impeachment hearing raises question who is in charge of US foreign policy: Trump or ‘interagency consensus’ McCarthy and the Benghazi hearings are not the only thing that kept Clinton from becoming the first female president There were numerous other factors Benghazi certainly didn’t help however and by forcing the issue into a massive public debacle the GOP refused to let anyone forget about it In other words McCarthy’s approach was no silver bullet to slay her – but it did help Now the DNC is doing the exact same thing with these impeachment hearings They know there’s no chance of removing Trump from office outside of beating him in 2020 something that they probably can’t do All their candidates are awful and the economy is good Plus incumbent presidents rarely lose it’s only happened five times since 1900 Just to be clear there literally is no mathematical way for the DNC to actually remove Trump from office by impeachment The Constitution gives the responsibility for impeachment to the House of Representatives Then the Senate has to vote with a two-thirds majority in favor of removal for the president to actually leave office So yes the House will impeach Trump It’s currently run by Democrats who are completely dominated by Trump Derangement Syndrome But President Trump won’t be removed from office because the Senate is Republican That’s why so much of the testimony so far has been a complete circus sideshow that has nothing to do with “high crimes and misdemeanors” The DNC is doing everything they can to turn the Ukraine quid pro quo into Trump’s Benghazi They need to unleash every last piece of possible ammunition if they’re to stand any chance of beating him in 2020 This is the apotheosis of power and party politics None of this has anything to do with the rule of law justice or anything remotely rational It’s just a massive mafia street fight happening within what is supposed to be the most powerful government on earth Also on rtcom The Ukraine affair is damning all right – just not in the way you’re being told to think The ridiculous nature of this contest is only highlighted by comparing what happened in Benghazi to the telephone call that finally lit the recent impeachment fires When the diplomatic post and CIA annex were attacked it ended with the deaths of four people When Trump asked Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden it’s not even clear that he violated the Constitution in any way – at least not in any way that previous presidents have not already done But even if he did violate the law no one died This is how desperate the DNC is to

The statement was “extraordinary” according to a tweet from Washington Post writer Paul Farhi Yet the only extraordinary thing here is that Bloomberg said the quiet part out loud — and only because they didn’t really have any other choice It’s best not beat around the bush like many in mainstream media are: Michael Bloomberg is simply another billionaire attempting to buy a presidential election — and while most billionaires don’t have their own name-branded news networks many have still been buying up struggling media companies for years Why Control the media and you control the narratives —

Also on rtcom Corporate media outlets ‘part of the US power structure’ journalist Ben Norton tells RT While Bloomberg’s candid admission produced a wave of feigned shock among blue-ticked tweeters many in mainstream media have consistently defended this exact state of affairs as normal and acceptable — particularly as it pertains to the Washington Post and its own billionaire owner Jeff Bezos

2017 it disciplined a reporter for publishing an op-ed critical of Bezos in the Huffington Post accusing him of an “egregious violation” of the paper’s freelancing policy The Post even prohibits its employees from posting anything on social media that “adversely affects” its advertisers so Bezos himself is hardly up for grabs For an indication of how delicately the topic of billionaire owner influence must be treated by the Post note that the newspaper’s reaction to the news that Bloomberg won’t investigate ‘Mike’ or his Democratic rivals was that this is bad because it might interfere with its coverage of… Donald Trump Priorities priorities Yet you can’t criticize good liberal media like the Washington Post in polite society for fear of being accused of attacking the free press unleashing the wrath of other corporate-owned media entities like CNN — and ultimately finding yourself branded a Trumpian deplorable out to destroy journalism There is of course an exception to this rule Bashing the media is perfectly acceptable if done in defense of a centrist billionaire class-protecting candidate like Hillary Clinton Come on keep up Things work in much the same way when it comes to mainstream reporting on US foreign policy — but this is even less polite to admit because in addition to US forever wars being a financial boon for corporate media owners the pro-war stance is also rooted in flag-waving patriotism and thus completely untouchable Also on rtcom Former MSNBC journalists expose the channel’s ‘pro-establishment bias’ Pro-war guests are the norm on mainstream networks like CNN Fox News and MSNBC — and the stats back this up A FAIR study on media coverage of US military action in Syria and Iraq in 2014 found that out of 205 guests over a certain period only 6 voiced opposition to US military action The best example of corporate financial interests directing war coverage is Phil Donahue’s firing from MSNBC for his anti-war views in the run up to the Iraq war — a time when the network’s reporters were required to be as gung-ho for the invasion as possible lest they upset then-owner General Electric which stood to profit handsomely from the war Corporate press naturally has a vested interest in pretending that owners never influence coverage or muzzle reporters CNN incredibly even praised billionaires for “saving journalism”earlier this year But censorship does not always take the form of a Bezos or a Bloomberg calling an editor and making direct demands Journalists who are likely to challenge the status quo at mainstream outlets simply don’t get hired The rest self-censor Or as Noam Chomsky put it to a BBC reporter: “I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying But what I’m saying is if you believed something different you wouldn’t

scrapped and Perry was pilloried as yet another out-of-touch Trump cultist incapable of seeing the problems with his hero Perry certainly wasn’t the first to be ridiculed for speaking religiously of the president Trump’s own spiritual advisor Paula White once declared that “to say no to President Trump would be saying no to God” Conservative radio host Wayne Allyn Root blundered into the mainstream in August when a quote from his show in which he claimed Israeli Jews view Trump as the “king of Israel” and the “second coming of God” made it onto Trump’s Twitter feed The president has even referred to himself as the Chosen One claiming after the inevitable backlash that the comment was meant in jest These comments have all – understandably – been ridiculed as delusional hero-worship and held up as examples of how out of touch the president’s supporters are But there’s a much more vocal strain of criticism that depicts Trump as – if not the devil – certainly its earthly incarnation an embodiment of evil never before seen in the White House This line of commentary is just as ridiculous but more dangerous for how seriously it’s taken among those who pass themselves off as thought leaders in the US media Also on rtcom Trump’s insults put NYT reporters in DANGER cries editor of paper that puts reporters in danger by cheering on war Once relegated to

his moral depravity exceeds that of previous presidents Racism sexism greed dishonesty and demagoguery have been the stock in trade of some US politicians since the country was founded yet prior to the Trump era the term “evil” was only deployed from the fringes of political commentary or rhetorically as in “the lesser of two evils“ It’s easy to forget that less than two decades ago then-president George W Bush was criticized for using the term “evil” to refer to the 9/11 terror attacks Hitler was BETTER than Trump ex-Reagan amp Bush official hints in a tweet Before the Bad Orange Man was even inaugurated comparisons of candidate Trump to Hitler were ubiquitous issuing forth from “respected” voices on the Left and Right or as far as one can get toward Left or Right while still enjoying television airtime Three years later the TrumpHitler equation is so ingrained in most pundits’ minds that merely comparing a person or action to Trump – equating say Bernie Sanders’ criticism of the Washington Post’s coverage of his campaign to Trump’s “fake news media is the enemy of the people” – has become an effective smear for shutting down discussion Rarely is there any pushback as sticking up for Trump – even by defending a person compared to him – has become as toxic as sticking up for Hitler in some circles With Trump semi-officially crowned Prince of Darkness commentators are left with nowhere to go when they want to emphasize a level of evil above baseline Trump leading to rhetorical gymnastics that might in a saner era be deemed hysteria Former Duke

the polls it looks as if Labour has greatly underestimated just how important implementing Brexit is in its traditional heartlands in the North and Midlands That miscalculation could be because Corbyn and many of the Shadow Cabinet have seats in London where pro-Remain sentiments perhaps give a misleading impression of what the rest of the country is thinking The cost to the party of shifting to a more pro-Remain position could be great come election night Whatever one’s views on the merits or demerits of Brexit it doesn’t seem quite right that Remain should be given another chance to win especially as Labour did promise to respect the result of the 2016 referendum It all smacks of ‘you didn’t vote the right way three years ago so please vote again’ something which Jeremy Corbyn himself criticised when it applied to Ireland and ratification of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009 Also on rtcom Unearthed VIDEO of Corbyn trashing EU for treatment of Ireland seized upon by his Brexit critics Labour’s ‘vote again’ policy could be described as the worst of both worlds It alienates Leavers but arguably doesn’t enthuse hardcore Remainers either who would just like Article 50 to be swiftly revoked Furthermore there is the issue of how continued EU membership would make other policies in the Labour manifesto difficult or impossible to implement For instance the policy of nationalising Openreach a subsidiary of British Telecom and then providing free full-fibre- broadband through the company to every household in the country could fall foul of EU rules on state aid The basic flaw – and contradiction – in the Labour manifesto is this: the party makes a big thing of wanting to move towards a different economic model ‘Time for Real Change’ yet its referendum policy which would put ‘Remain’ against a soft Brexit deal which would be unlikely to get strong Leave support is clearly pro status-quo geared as it is to ensuring that Britain stays in the privatisation-driving neoliberal EU I’ve talked to a number of people who have said they‘re not going to vote Labour because they feel betrayed over Brexit – and labeling such voters as ‘scabs’ or ‘traitors’ as some have done – is certainly not going to help persuade them to return to the Labour fold on December 12 And make no mistake Labour needs them to return to the fold to have any chance of winning How different things might have been had Labour announced in October that they were going to support Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal with suitable guarantees given over state aid and workers’ rights If Labour had helped Johnson’s deal to get passed then they would have gone into the subsequent general election in a much stronger position Brexit would have been put to bed and the focus on the campaign would have been on those issues where the party clearly has the most popular policies such as renationalising the railways and utilities and protecting pensioner benefits Also on rtcom ‘Don’t give up!’ Tusk urges Brits to keep fighting to stop Brexit otherwise it’s the ‘end of the British Empire’ As it is the election is being fought on Brexit where Boris Johnson’s simple message of ‘Let’s just get the bally thing done’ resonates more than Corbyn’s ‘We’re going to have a second referendum and I’m going to stay neutral’ Labour don’t seem to have realised just how sick and tired people are of the whole wretched saga With still seventeen days to polling day all is not yet lost for Labour but it’s no use pretending that the party hasn’t gone into the current election with a major handicap To use a horse racing analogy the Tories have been given a ten lengths start and a stone and a half weight concession because of their clearer stance on Brexit Labour could still make up the lost distance but one fears that the result of this particular race was already decided when the party opted to support a second referendum and because of that everything else in their manifesto however commendable doesn’t really matter Follow Neil Clark NeilClark66 Think your friends would be interested Share this story!
