Will Queen Elizabeth’s Death Trigger A Renewed Royal Relationship With Israel?
The Queen is said to have had a complex relationship with the State of Israel, which is notably one of the few countries she never visited in an official capacity during her 70 years on the throne.
And:
King Charles III: A friend to UK Jewry, with special and historic ties to Israel
has long had good relationship with British Jews; outspoken on antisemitism; has also shored up his bona fides with Israel. in recent years with official visit; also empathetic to Palestinians
By ITAMAR SHARON and TOI STAFF
With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the United Kingdom has a new king in Charles III, who at the age of 73 is the oldest person to ascend the British throne. Charles has long had a good relationship with British Jews, and in recent years has also shored up his bona fides with Israel.
The royals have a deep historic connection to the Jewish state, with Britain ruling the land between 1920-1948. In 2020, then-president Reuven Rivlin noted to Charles during a visit to Israel that he and other Israelis of his generation were born as subjects of Charles’ grandfather King George VI.
Charles himself has abiding ties to British Jewish leaders and institutions, and has shown a keen interest in the stories and lessons of the Holocaust. He has had warm meetings in recent years with two Israeli presidents and toured the country in a historic 2020 visit.
Below are some of the highlights of the new British monarch’s connection to Jews, the Jewish state, and related matters.
Ties to Israel
In 2020, Charles conducted his first official visit to Israel, after previously making brief trips for the funerals of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres. He was the most senior member of the royal family to hold such a visit since the establishment of the state, following his son William’s first-ever official royal visit in 2018.
While in the country to attend the World Holocaust Forum, Charles met with then-president Rivlin and planted a tree at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem.
Charles met with a group of Holocaust survivors at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem and toured the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. He also attended a reception at the home of the British ambassador in Ramat Gan, where he was shown various Israeli scientific and medical innovations.
Charles’ grandmother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, is buried at the Church of Mary Magdalene on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. During his trip, Charles visited her gravesite and has done so on private visits.
The princess is recognized by Yad Vashem as a Righteous Among the Nations for helping save a Jewish family in Greece during the Holocaust. Charles said her actions were a source of “immense pride” and inspiration for him and the royal family.
In November 2021, President Isaac Herzog met Charles during an official visit to the UK and the two discussed climate change, regional threats, and Holocaust education. In a “special gift” to the British royal, Herzog announced a nursing scholarship at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem dedicated to Princess Alice that the president’s office said “pays tribute to [her] compassion, deep spirituality, and immense perseverance to help those in need.”
Holocaust remembrance and antisemitism
Speaking to world leaders gathered at the 2020 World Holocaust Forum in Jerusalem, Charles warned of the “searingly relevant” lessons of the Holocaust while hatred and intolerance “still tell new lies, adopt new disguises, and still seek new victims.”
The world must “be fearless in confronting falsehoods and resolute in resisting words and acts of violence,” he said. “We must tend the earth of our societies so that the seeds of division cannot take root and grow.”
Charles has in the past warned of the dangers of rising antisemitism and other forms of intolerance in the UK.
In 2022, Charles commissioned portraits of seven Holocaust survivors to be displayed at Buckingham Palace for International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Ties to British Jewry
In a 2019 pre-Hanukkah reception at Buckingham Palace, Charles celebrated ” the contribution of our Jewish community to the health, wealth and happiness of the United Kingdom.
“In every walk of life, in every field of endeavor, our nation could have had no more generous citizens, and no more faithful friends.”
He noted then prominent members of the British Jewish community and their contributions to society at large, as well as “those who are not household names, but who are the cornerstones of their own local communities.”
Charles was also close to former UK chief rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. Upon Sacks’ death in 2020, Charles mourned him as an “irreplaceable loss” and “a trusted guide, an inspired teacher and a true and steadfast friend.”
“Through his writings, sermons and broadcasts, Rabbi Sacks touched the lives of countless people with his unfailing wisdom, with his profound sanity and with a moral conviction which, in a confused and confusing world, was all too rare,” he said then.
“He and I were exact contemporaries, born in the year of the foundation of the State of Israel and, over many years, I had come to value his counsel immensely.
“I shall miss him more than words can say.”
Defender of all faiths?
In 1994, Charles said that when he became king he could be “defender of faiths” rather than taking the traditional vow to be “defender of the faith.”
He later clarified his position in a 2015 interview with the BBC, saying: “As I tried to describe, I mind about the inclusion of other people’s faiths and their freedom to worship in this country. And it’s always seemed to me that, while at the same time being Defender of the Faith, you can also be protector of faiths.”
On Palestinians
During his 2020 visit to Israel, Charles also visited the West Bank and met with Palestinian leaders. He said then that he was heartbroken to witness the “suffering” and “hardship” endured by the Palestinians.
The remarks were described by Britain’s Sky News as constituting “the biggest show of support that a member of the Royal family ever has [expressed] for the Palestinians.”
Visiting Bethlehem, the town revered by Christians as the birthplace of Jesus, Charles said: “It breaks my heart… that we should continue to see so much suffering and division. No one arriving in Bethlehem today could miss the signs of continued hardship, and the situation you face.”
Speaking at Casa Nova, a Franciscan pilgrim house near the Church of the Nativity, Charles went on: “And I can only join you, and all communities, in your prayers for a just and lasting peace. We must pursue this cause with faith and determination, striving to heal the wounds which have caused such pain.”
He added: “It is my dearest wish that the future will bring freedom, justice and equality to all Palestinians, enabling you to thrive and to prosper.”
Love for Jewish artists
In a 2018 episode of Radio 3’s long-running show Private Passions, Charles spoke of his love for Canadian Jewish singer Leonard Cohen.
“I’ve always loved Leonard Cohen’s voice and his whole approach to the way he sang,” he said. “He was obviously incredibly sophisticated in the way he sang, but also wrote. I find it very moving, the words are so extraordinary, sort of Salvador Dalí-like, they lead you into this remarkable Dalí-like world.”
Charles has also spoken in the past about his friendship with Else Mayer-Lismann, a music academic who fled to the UK from Nazi Germany and who taught him to love the opera.
“I was incredibly fortunate to have been introduced to Else Mayer-Lismann back in the Eighties by an old friend of mine,” he told The Telegraph once. “Else was a wonderful character and her deep knowledge of opera and music was infectious. Her descriptions and explanations of the background to various operas – particularly those of Wagner – made the whole difference to my subsequent enjoyment of the actual performance and transformed the experience.”

Radicals have a method in their madness. They attack accepted matters in order to stir up emotional responses. Eventually everything evokes emotional responses and that results in divisions.
Radicals have a method in their madness. They attack accepted matters in order to stir up emotional responses. Eventually everything evokes emotional responses and that results in divisions.
Stop and think about what I have just written and challenge me.
Abortion, freedoms of speech, religion etc., sexual behaviour and nomenclature, young children's learning experiences, parental authority and what is being taught. All of these topics and more, when attacked or sought to be changed in manipulative ways, is a way radicals create heat and discord among different groups.
A society in turmoil is vulnerable and this explains, in part, where America is today and why radicals, who fear America, do what they do.
It also is a reason why I use sardonic satire and humor to combat radicals. You cannot address emotion with logic. You will never win. So, to some degree, I use graphic logic and reasoned contrast as a last resort. In my opinion, it is as good a default, fall back rebuttal
mechanism as I know.

Weekly Roundup
To destroy Trump, is it OK to break the rules? We'll pay a high price for doing so.
For USA Today, FAIR Advisor John Wood, Jr. discusses a recent clip from the Triggernometry podcast, in which Sam Harris “seemed to express approval for Twitter and Facebook’s censoring of the Hunter Biden laptop story in the run-up to the 2020 election.” Wood examines the moral and practical costs of “ends justify the means” behavior in much of our political and cultural discourse, which he believes is far too great.
Obviously, outcomes are critical. But to focus on the outcomes we want at the expense of how we achieve them is to hollow out the basis for trust in society and ultimately to push our goals further and further away.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is critical and should it not happen the survival of this republic, as we know it and as it was meant to be, will be in serious doubt.
Trump's appeal to "deplorables" proved effective. He was able to do it because, in the business world, he was the "billionaire" who could.
His willingness to put on a hard hat, sit on steel girders and eat a sandwich carried weight. Even his vulgarity made him acceptable among the hard hat crowd.
Trump is no patrician like Romney. He was an earthy president. Even Bill Clinton , who was earthy, was unable to be a "billionaire Bubba."

If This Is True, Democrats Are in Real Trouble for Years to Come
BY MATT MARGOLIS
The Republican Party has been trying for a long time to win over more minority voters with limited success. The minority vote is crucial to Democrats’ hopes of remaining in power, which is why they so desperately try to protect it with endless allegations of racism directed at the GOP and opening the borders etc.
But the Democrats’ virtual monopoly on the minority vote is collapsing. Despite Democrats spending years branding Trump as a racist, his outreach helped bring minorities back to the Republican Party. Those efforts, combined with Joe Biden’s incompetence in the White House, could be the biggest threat to the Democrats’ chances in November and beyond.
Related: Democrats Are Lying and Everyone Knows It
According to the latest Rasmussen Poll, Republicans maintain a lead in the Generic Congressional Ballot — but that might not be the Democrats’ worst problem. The Democrats’ advantage over Republicans among black voters in the Generic Ballot is only 24%.
According to the poll, 50% of white voters, 31% of black voters, and 42% of voters from other minorities would vote Republican in November, while 55% of black voters, 38% of white voters, and 43% of other minorities said they would vote Democrat. That’s a gap Democrats can’t be comfortable with.
For years, minority voters, particularly black voters, have so consistently voted Democrat that to see numbers like this must scare Democrats down to their core — as it should. The minority shift towards the GOP won’t be unique to this campaign cycle, either, and assuming the GOP continues to make inroads with minority voters, the Democrats’ power in Washington will dwindle.
