Biden Administration’s Delusional Plan to Combat Palestinian Terrorism   by Bassam Tawil
March 16, 2023 at 5:00 am

• [T]he Biden Administration officials recently proposed a plan “to provide 5,000 Palestinians with commando training in Jordan” and then deploy them to areas under the control of the PA. The 5,000 officers will bring with them 5,000 rifles to Palestinian cities and towns — where almost every Palestinian already has a weapon.  [Emphasis added, since this is not true for Israeli Jews]
• Any time the US has funded, armed and trained Palestinian militias, the target has invariably ended up not terrorist groups but Israelis. Why is there any reason to think that this time will be different?
• In addition, the plan would require Israel “to sharply curtail IDF counter-terror operations.” The Biden administration, in other words, wants Israel to stop defending itself and rely on the Palestinian leadership and the new Palestinian “commandos” to go after the terrorists. Palestinian officials, meanwhile, are busy glorifying terrorism and paying visits to the families of terrorists.
• This would leave the Israelis with the rights to neither self-defense nor hot-pursuit. Terrorists will be able strike inside Israel, then run back to the Palestinian areas where they will be “home free;” instead of being arrested, they will be celebrated.
• The Biden plan also reportedly “foresees the deployment of foreign forces, including U.S. military forces, on the ground.”
• Israel, roughly the size of New Jersey, would have on its border a Palestinian terrorist army, well-trained, well-funded, and “protected” by a superpower.
• [The Israelis] would find themselves in the impossible position of risking harming the Europeans and Americans forces stationed there. These troops, mingled among the Palestinians, would essentially be “human shields,” deliberately placed in harm’s way to prevent Israel from taking any action.
• What, then, is the Biden Administration really doing?
• An international military presence to help the Palestinians in the West Bank would handcuff the Israelis. This appears to be the real plan.
• Worse, if “foreign countries” were allowed into the West Bank to work with the new US-trained Palestinian militias, who would get to decide which foreign countries?
• Or perhaps the US will try to persuade the Palestinians to reintegrate Gaza, run by Hamas, an Iranian proxy, into the West Bank, as the US Department of State’s new Special Representative for Palestinian Affairs, Hady Amr, recommended in his Brookings report?
• It would be suicidal for Israel to permit “foreign forces,” who any day could be hostile, on border of Jerusalem. Why would, or should, any country, especially such a small one, place its border security in the less-than-reliable hands of someone else? Would Germany? Would France?
• All that is needed is for Abbas to order his security forces to go after the armed groups, in accordance with the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement (Oslo II) of 1995.
• Abbas, however, has so far refused to issue such an order. He is most probably afraid that if he does so, his people, who view the terrorists as “heroes,” would revolt against him, denounce him as a “traitor” a “collaborator” with Israel, and kill him, as happened to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat after he signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979.
• The Palestinian Authority is not prepared to send its forces to arrest Palestinian terrorists so long as they do not pose a threat to Abbas or his associates.
• Abbas’s security forces proved that they can be tough, but only against human rights activists, not terrorists.
• If the Biden Administration were serious about the Palestinian Authority reining in its terrorists, it could simply demand that the Palestinians honor Article XIV of the Oslo II agreement, which states that, “except for the Palestinian Police and the Israeli military forces, no other armed forces shall be established or operate in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.”
• The Biden Administration could also remind the Palestinians of Article XV of the same agreement that states that “both sides shall take all measures necessary in order to prevent acts of terrorism, crimes and hostilities directed against each other…”
• Above all, the Biden Administration needs to keep all foreign troops out of the area. They are simply decoys — to protect the terrorists from counterattacks.

[Ed.:  A better ‘plan’ would be to chase them off our land with bullets, leaving whoever survived to escape us! The theory here is to actually kill them before they kill us (and not after they kill us). There, you have it!  I am a far-right-wing extremist!]

Attorney General: Ben Gvir should refrain from giving operative instructions to the police

Attorney General publishes position on petitions filed with the Supreme Court: Ben Gvir must refrain from giving operative instructions to the police even when they are given under the guise of policy instructions.

Mar 16, 2023, 3:01 AM (GMT+2) – Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Wednesday night published her position regarding petitions that were filed with the Supreme Court and which request that National Security Itamar Ben Gvir be ordered to refrain from outlining policy regarding the Israel Police’s conduct during protests against the judicial reform and the government.

Another petition, concerning the dismissal of Tel Aviv District Commander Chief Ami Eshed which Baharav-Miara has already frozen, asks the Supreme Court to issue an interim order prohibiting Ben Gvir from interfering with the appointments of senior police officers.

The Attorney General clarified in her position that Minister Ben Gvir has the authority to outline a general policy for police activity, including regarding demonstrations – but he must refrain from giving operative instructions to the police, directly or indirectly – even when they are given under the guise of policy instructions.

“The sequence of events described in the requests, which can be learned from, among other things, the minister’s own publications, and the information provided by the police, raise a real concern that the conduct of the Minister of National Security crossed the line, and was intended to interfere or constitute an attempt to interfere with the professional and independent judgment given to the commanding echelon of the Israel Police on the ground, and this also occurred in real time in relation to individual events concerning the protests taking place against the government these days,” wrote Baharav-Miara.

“The consistent position of the Attorney General, as reflected over the years in various opinions, is that the Minister of National Security is allowed to outline a general policy for the Israel Police, but he is not allowed to interfere in the operative and operational implementation of the policy, including by way of giving concrete instructions regarding individual events as they occur,” she added. “Matters such as this are reserved for the professional level of the Israel Police, and only to it, in accordance with their professional judgment.”

[Ted Belman:  This ruling is outrageous. The AG must be sacked. The powers of the AG must be curtailed.  She limits the Minister to “outlining a general policy” but “but he is not allowed to interfere in the operative and operational implementation of the policy”. What? Is it “general policy” for the Minister to demand that terrorism be fought with full force without regard to whether calm is destroyed? Or is this a matter for police to decide based on their “professional judgement”?]

2 Huwara riots suspects arrested, denied food

Court orders Jewish Samaria residents provided with food, extends detention extended by 3 days after Shin Bet, police ask for 10 days.

Mar 13, 2023, 4:04 PM (GMT+2) – Two Jewish residents of the Samaria community of Givat Ronen were arrested this morning (Monday) by the Shin Bet and police on suspicion of involvement in the violent riots in Huwara which followed the murder of Hallel and Yagel Yaniv.

In the afternoon, the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court extended the suspects’ detention for three days.

At the hearing, it was revealed that the police and Shin Bet had denied the suspects food since their arrest in the early morning until the time of the hearing. In light of this, Judge Amir Shaked ordered that the detainees be provided with food.

The Shin Bet and prosecution requested that the suspects’ detention be extended by 10 days, but the court only ordered them to be held for three days.

[Ed.: Food is always good.   A-rab terrorists don’t get denied food.  But Jewish prisoners, THAT’s another story.  Jews in Israel should be denied food, right? The best place in the world to persecute Jews is in Israel, after all…]

Bomber infiltrated from Lebanon, killed by security forces, Hezbollah possibly involved

Security forces investigating possible Hezbollah involvement in bombing in which 1 person was injured by terrorist from Lebanon.

  Mar 15, 2023, 6:00 PM (GMT+2) – The roadside explosion in northern Israel in which one person was seriously injured Monday morning was the work of a terrorist who crossed into Israel from Lebanon and planted a bomb on eastbound Route 65 near the Megiddo Junction, it was cleared for publication Wednesday evening.

The bombing and the infiltration are the ‘security developments’ which led Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut short his visit to Germany this week.

Security forces began searching for the bomber immediately after the bombing. A vehicle was stopped in the area of Moshav Ya’ara, in which the bomber was found. The terrorist was armed and presented a danger to the Shin Bet and Yamam counter-terrorism officers who stopped his vehicle, leading them to shoot and kill him.

An explosive belt was found in the terrorist’s possession along with other weapons, leading authorities to believe he was planning to carry out another massive terrorist attack.

According to the investigation, earlier this week, the terrorist crossed the Israel Lebanon border and carried out the bombing attack at the Megiddo Junction. After placing the bomb, he hitched a ride north.

Bill restoring freedom of movement to Israelis in northern Samaria passes first reading   By JNS

 March 14, 2023 – The proposed legislation repealing the Disengagement Law would restore freedom of movement to Israelis in four communities razed in 2005.

The Knesset approved on Monday night in first reading a bill repealing sections of the 2005 Disengagement Law that prevent Israelis from entering or living in parts of northern Samaria.

The 2005 Gaza disengagement led to the destruction and evacuation of the Israeli communities of Sa-Nur, Homesh, Ganim and Kadim in northern Samaria, as well as 21 communities in Gaza.

The bill, sponsored by Likud Knesset member Yuli Edelstein, seeks to restore freedom of movement to Israelis in the four Samaria communities. It passed by 40-17.

“There is no longer any justification to prevent Israelis from entering and staying in the evacuated territory in northern Samaria, and therefore it is proposed to state that these sections [of the disengagement law] will no longer apply to the evacuated territory,” reads the introductory text to the bill.

DERSHOWITZ: ‘This is not about judicial reform, it’s about overturning the election’  [10:03]

Netanyahu returns early from Germany for mysterious, unspecified ‘security incidents’

March 15, 2023 – Netanyahu has cut short his trip to Germany, while Gallant instructs team to continue striving to maintain “the daily routine of Israeli citizens.”

By JNS and World Israel News

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has held several situational assessments over the past 36 hours with regard to unspecified “security incidents.”

Gallant’s office released an unusually cryptic statement on Tuesday evening, revealing that the meetings were attended by top-ranking officials, including Israel Defense Forces chief Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) head Ronen Bar.

[Ed.: The “mysterious, unspecified ‘security incidents’” referred to here are:  5 Hezbollah terrorists were caught who rented an apartment in the city of Tzfat (Safed) and planned to carry out a massacre at the Ziv Hospital in the city.  In addition, there are several (more) tunnels from Lebanon being worked on right now.]

Color Revolutions: Biden Regime Sponsoring a Coup and Training Palestinian Terrorist Army in Israel   By Richard Abelson

Mar. 15, 2023 10:00 am – While US banks fail and the world teeters on the brink of WW III, the criminal Biden Regime is embarking on a series of regime change “color revolutions” around the world, seeking to destablize conservative governments and install Washington-controlled puppets to do their bidding. The Gateway Pundit will expose these Open Society / National Endowment for Democracy led coup attempts, which seem to be the only thing the Blinken / Nuland / Sullivan Regime is any good at. Today: Israel.

Thanks to phony corruption charges against Israel’s longest-serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has gone through five elections in three years, finally getting a stable conservative government again this year. Since the Israeli population is one of the few around the world to reliably vote for conservative, patriotic, right-wing parties, the Soros-funded Israeli left has no option other than to use foreign-funded NGOs and lawfare in the left-wing legal system to sabotage their country.

The Israeli Supreme Court has usurped the right to strike down democratically-ratified laws it finds “inappropriate”, to veto democratically elected ministers, and to nominate its own members in perpetuity. That is the reason why the top priority for the new Netanyahu government is to reform the legal system to be more like that in the US and other Western countries, where judges are appointed by the executive and ratified by parliament, and can only strike down laws that explicitly violate the Constitution. The reform enjoys broad support in Israel, since the Israeli populace has grown ever more right-wing, while the courts have veered ever further to the hard left.
