Worthless VS Trustworthy. More.

Any Jew who votes for Biden obviously is ambivalent about Israel, believes you can  trust the PLO and Hamas and never learned about the OSLO  Accords you cannot trust the words of Palestinians because they are worthless

Meanwhile, Jews can count on Buddy to be rational and loyal both to America and Israel.  .

YOU BREAK IT, YOU BUY IT
By Buddy Carter

President Biden doesn’t have my background in retail, but he should still understand this basic concept: if you break it, you buy it. The same applies to federal policies: if you create a mess, you own that mess. This administration is adept at the first half – creating messes – but seems entirely unaware of the second part - the consequences of those poor policies.

When President Biden came into office, he inherited one of, if not the, most secure southern border in history. That didn’t last long. From day one, this administration’s approach to border security has essentially been to do exactly the opposite of everything President Trump did during his time in office. More than 9.5 million illegal immigrant encounters and 1.8 million known gotaways later, those policies are working exactly as Biden and open-border democrats intended.

Unsurprisingly, this plan is backfiring.

In an election year stunt motivated by poor poll numbers, President Biden reversed his previous claim that he’s “done all [he] can” to secure the border and issued a weak executive order that he wants us all to believe will solve the border crisis. But much like the Senate’s amnesty bill that died because it did not address the real problems at our southern border, this executive order is all smoke and mirrors.

Under this executive order, if it is enforced perfectly, a MINIMUM of 1.8 million illegal immigrants will be permitted to enter the United States every year. To put that into perspective, that number is 4.5 times higher than the number of illegal immigrants encountered at the southern border in FY20. Somehow, it gets worse. Biden’s executive order does nothing to end parole abuses or catch and release. It provides no new resources for our brave border patrol officers. It does nothing to deport the illegal immigrants already in our country. It merely requires that border patrol wait until 2,500 people break our immigration laws every day before they will be enforced.

Unless someone changed the definition of “crackdown” to “maintaining the status quo,” then this executive order does nothing but commit to the lawlessness that has plagued our border ever since Biden placed an “open for business” sign where a wall should be.

The American people see through this stunt and will hold Biden accountable for his refusal to enforce the law and protect American lives.

Honest Reporting:
+++

Media outlets went out of their way on Saturday (June 8) to make Israel’s heroic rescue of four Gaza hostages look tainted or even immoral, with a reframing that served Hamas’ strategy.

Instead of simply reporting the news — that Israeli hostages Noa Argamany, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv had been rescued in a rare and complex operation in the heart of Gaza — media outlets chose to label it as one of the “bloodiest” raids of the war.

 I agree, it is time to act but war with Hezbollah will be far more difficult and dangerous than with Hamas. The radical Islamists who occupy Lebanon are better trained and have enormous rocket power ad numbers.

Israel is being held hostage by its flawed wait-and-see mentality - opinion

We owe it to our youth, our up and coming leaders, to stiffen our spines and to do what needs to be done – on our own terms – to assure their future. By Doug Altabef

It is becoming increasingly difficult to believe that we are on our way to restoring security to our borders and safety to our citizens who reside in either the Gaza envelope or in Israel’s North, the Galilee, and the Golan.

Our soldiers have been not only heroic, but also quite effective in the Swords of Iron campaign in Gaza. We have adapted brilliantly to the demands not only of urban conflict, but also of tunnel conflict.

Our initial success in securing the release of more than 100 hostages was purely a function of overwhelming military might and success. However, since that accomplishment, we have allowed ourselves to be bogged down, delayed, distracted, and pummeled by international voices.

Ironically, that fear of the reaction of the world community has been felt at least as much, if not more, in the North than in Gaza. For reasons that range from American reaction to IDF capabilities, we have tolerated a state of affairs that is a disgrace to the Zionist dream, and a stain on the idea that Israel is projecting sovereignty so as to protect its citizens.

In 1982, rocket attacks on Kiryat Shmona, then the largest town in the Galilee and now a small city, were the pretext for the invasion of Lebanon. Today, Kiryat Shmona, like most of its surrounding communities, is largely abandoned, and those who still insist on staying must confront almost daily rocketing, and increasingly now, fires in the adjoining hillsides.

There have been until just recently only obligatory statements of empathy for the plight of residents, whether they are relocated escapees or stalwart hangers on.

It has been a national situation of “just don’t look over there, it will get you depressed.”

Hezbollah is most certainly calling the shots, as it were, and setting the agenda. We have been largely reactive, though at a certain point it no longer matters. We are involved in tit for tat playground shoving where each side wants to throw its weight around, but to do so within bounds.

There’s the problem with that. It has replaced a security buffer zone in southern Lebanon with a security buffer zone in northern Israel.

Like spectators at the movies, we are engaging in the willful suspension of disbelief, meaning that we are forgetting that Hezbollah possesses massive armories of drones, rockets, and missiles, many quite sophisticated and precise, which can be unleashed by them at their momentary discretion.

Each side knows the other could attack more forcefully, and for the time being does not seek to do so for their own reasons. But in a conflict between a side that is a fiduciary for its citizens and a foe that basically is unaccountable to its people, the advantage inevitably goes to the latter.

Hezbollah is very content for us to be discouraged, depleted and demoralized. This is, of course, a form of victory, producing a mindset that can be exploited for further future gains.

Hezbollah need only look at the situation in Gaza to see that the Israeli resolve to win, meaning to forcefully dismantle Hamas, thereby securing the release of the rest of the hostages, is dissipating. Increasingly Israelis are reverting to a mindset that would pay any price to get the hostages released, as if this was the be all and end all of the conflict.

This state of affairs puts the onus squarely on Israel to change it. Everyone knows that right now we are just once again kicking the can down the road, awaiting a true day of reckoning.

Heaven forbid that that day of reckoning is chosen by Hezbollah. Given the weapons at their disposal, the first strike damage that they could inflict might be horrific.

The embarrassment of senior Israeli military officials

It is embarrassing to read how our senior military people talking about how we are getting closer to reaching a decision on what to do in the North. All that tells us is that they are enmeshed in a wait and see mindset.

For my part, first of all, please don’t share your thinking with us. We don’t need to know. We don’t want to know, because if we know, Hezbollah knows. Hezbollah is already talking about the possibility of an IDF attack in mid-June.

How would they know except for the public dithering and hand-wringing of our leaders. Remember preemption? Remember surprise? This is the lesson of the Six Day War.

Remember reactiveness? This is the lesson of the Yom Kippur War. It is no great challenge to decide which path to pursue.

The Israeli people are strong and resilient. They are willing to sacrifice to protect their country and their way of life. Our young people are breathtakingly heroic and eager to defend and protect their homeland.

They want to secure the future for themselves and for the families they have recently started or are busily contemplating. They see in this country a magnificent adventure and they see in themselves the guardians and stewards of that adventure.

That is our recompense in all of this. We owe it to our youth, our up and coming leaders, to stiffen our spines and to do what needs to be done – on our own terms – to assure their future.
