Even before being inaugurated into his second term as US President, Trump was already talking about the Abraham Accords. And lest we forget, Biden was also holding talks on the subject with Saudi Arabia right before the Simchat Torah Massacre. Both Biden and Trump were/are just carrying out their own orders. Any differences between them are scripted and staged. This initiative is part of a long-term plan which exists at multiple levels, but it's what is ultimately going to bring them all down in defeat. And since they are wasting no time, HKB"H surely won't either.
In sign of priorities, Trump’s first call with foreign leader held with Saudi prince
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Wednesday became the first foreign leader to hold a phone call with US President Donald Trump since his return to office this week for a second term.The decision to first speak with the de facto Saudi leader, known by his initials MBS, indicated the Trump administration’s priorities, with the president expressing his desire to expand the Abraham Accords with a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.The deal would likely be part of a massive defense agreement that Riyadh is looking to sign with Washington, which would provide Saudi Arabia with security guarantees from the US if it faces attack and also lead to huge investments into the American economy.But the Saudis have long made clear that such a deal would require the establishment of a pathway to the eventual establishment of a Palestinian state. Since the outbreak of the Gaza war sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terror onslaught, Riyadh has intensified that rhetoric, with those in touch with the crown prince saying he would no longer be able to accept more symbolic steps from Israel, and that concrete steps would be required. Moreover, Saudi Arabia has made clear that an end to the war in Gaza is also a necessity before normalization talks can proceed.. . . Bin Salman told Trump during their Wednesday call that Saudi Arabia would like to expand its investments in the US over the next four years to $600 billion and that the figure could further increase “if additional opportunities become available,” according to a readout published on Saudi state media.Trump told the Saudi crown prince that he looks forward to working with Riyadh to advance common interests, the Saudi readout added.Days after a report that the US is considering temporarily relocating some of Gaza’s two million residents in Indonesia while the post-war construction of the enclave takes place, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio holds a phone call with Jakarta’s Foreign Minister Sugiono.“Rubio welcomed Indonesia’s willingness to engage on Middle East peace and post-conflict reconstruction,” says a US readout on the call.Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said last year that his country was willing to send peacekeeping troops to enforce a ceasefire in Gaza if required.The Times of Israel revealed in 2021 that the Trump administration was on the verge of brokering a normalization deal between Israel and Indonesia but ran out of time before the end of the term.
Roughly 31,000 people were ordered to flee an area north of Los Angeles on Wednesday after a fast-moving wildfire exploded, growing to more than 10,000 acres within hours, officials said.. . . In addition to the approximately 31,000 people under mandatory evacuation orders, another around 23,000 were under evacuation warnings, meaning they should be prepared to leave if told to do so.
While the leader of the West gnaws on his Abraham Accords bone, the Erev Rav are doing the same thing with their own bone of contention - the one that will likely precipitate their downfall as well.
The Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee convened on Tuesday to discuss the recruitment law presented last week by Defense Minister Yisrael Katz.. . . The head of the IDF’s Personnel Directorate, Maj. Gen. Dado Bar Kalifa, spoke saying . . . “We are making an enormous effort. I am convinced that as we progress and succeed in recruiting our Chareidi brothers, they will enlist with us. What we are preparing for them will enable successful recruitment. We have invested millions, tremendous resources, and will expand as needed.”Bar Kalifa demanded “more effective” sanctions against Chareidim, saying: “We will need much more effective sanctions that affect the individual so that it will really make an impact.”The meeting became very heated when Yesh Atid MK Simon Davidson said:”I’ve already spoken about this to the head of the Education Committee – if in the context of a Chareidi draft law, we don’t do serious work regarding the issue of the chinuch of Chareidi children, we won’t accomplish what we want.”“Ultimately, when a child grows up in Chareidi society and his parents were not in the army and his siblings were not in the army, and in school he doesn’t learn about citizenship, Zionism, the Israeli flag, nor the meaning of the IDF – he will reach the age of 18 and he won’t want to serve in the IDF even if it’s imposed on him.”Shas MK Yinon Azulai immediately reacted and cried out: “You want to influence our chinuch! That is exactly the problem we are arguing about here, that you want to influence the chinuch of Chareidi children.”Davidson responded: “Definitely, definitely, definitely (we want to influence Chareidi chinuch).”When Azulai responded: “we won’t let you harm our children’s education,” the conversation turned into shouts and screams, with another Yesh Atid MK screaming that “Chareidi children are harming the education of secular children” by not serving in the IDF, and called Chareidim “parasites.”UTJ MK Yaakov Asher said: “There are people sitting around this table who don’t want a solution to the problem but to perpetuate the problem in order to bring down the government and harm the Chareidi public.”Asher added: “Threats of sanctions against children who have been educated since the day they were born that the Torah is what protects the people of Israel will not shake their emunah.”Following the meeting, Katz spoke in the Knesset plenum, saying that he wants to preserve the Olam HaTorah but at the same time, called for sanctions against all yeshivos and individuals.

"But it requires two things: It requires an end to the conflict in Gaza, and it requires a credible pathway to a Palestinian state,” he adds.

ReplyDeleteI believe that the so called Abraham Accords are less about regional peace than separating Saudi Arabia from BRICS influence, and globalist control of ALL global resources. The 1973 map published by the European Commission (Club of Rome) shows the world divided into 10 economic zones.
Deep state donny's plans to implement the North American Union aligns perfectly with this globalist agenda. So a self sufficient, sovereign, independent Jewish state does NOT align with their agenda. Chevron's discontinuation of their involvement to develop the oil and gas reserves off the coast of azza would indicate this.
The perception in American media, both mainstream and alternative, is that Isreal and the Jews control all or most of America's media and government institutions. I don't know about you but from my perspective it seems that the opposite is true. In fact, I question if we are even sovereign, or independant. Medinat Yisrael acts more like amerikkas red headed mamzer than a sovereign state, and we get treated like one, despite all the promises and phony camaraderie.
Any perceived favor that we receive from d.s. donny will come at an unbearably heavy price, Jewish lives and blood and a further erosion of what little remains of our sovereignty. As the American saying goes; "you don't get nothin' for nothin'."
Baruch Hashem! Middah k'neged middah, for all their actions to undermine us, they are indeed destroying themselves.

Can't find the article now, but recently read from the Carnegie endowment that the 'normalisation' with Saudi is part of a plan to reduce Chinese expansion in the latter country and the ME, keep Saudi in the US sphere of influence, and Saudi's condition is a plasticine state. It is entirely serving US interests, not Israel's.
DeleteI think it fits in with what you wrote.

I was recently in the Chareidi city of RBS and saw first hand a model of Israel's future. In Ben Gurion I saw secular Israelis with very tired, disillusioned faces.
ReplyDeleteI'm skeptical of the video which is comprised mostly of far leftist groups. I think the issue is far different.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Trump now wants to be the "peacemaker" of the world, primarily because he believes his 'god' saved him from assassination. Someone with this belief is far more dangerous. If need be he will force 'peace' on those unwilling, whether it be Russia / Ukraine or Israel.
It's also a bit concerning that Witkoff believes Saudi normalization will bring peace to the entire Middle East. How naive can one be. One particular Arab noted that this is normalization, and Not a peace agreement. It's all about weapons. In days past it was all about Arab oil. Now it's all about Arab money and spreading it around. With that kind of money Israel cannot compete and will likely be sidelined at some future point.
The beginning of that is the "ceasefire deal". This is where I parted ways with this man. He's more than adamant that it will continue, as with Lebanon. He's shown no signs that Hamas will be removed. So we're back to Oct 6th. With all the reported attacks against Netanyahu I fear he will be another administration demanding a "Palestinian" state. He may be another who thinks such a deal will solve all the Middle East issues.
Beware the Peacemaker who thinks his god is behind him.
I feel that we're back to Oct 8. Why have we paid such a heavy price? Oct 7 atrocities happened. Oct 8, Hamas in power, jubilant population, still many hostages, and worse, release of many terrorists....
Delete'But I'll be asking the crown prince, who's a fantastic guy, to round it out to around one trillion. I think they'll do that, because we've been very good to them. "
From the Daily Mail article on same subject.
That sums up Trump in in a nutshell. No free favours. I'm good to you, now it's payback time. But that is not the real problem. He was sworn in as the president of the US, not Israel. The problem is Jewish Trump Delulu Syndrome and the mental gymnastics olympics it engenders. They praise to the high heavens a person who claimed credit for the release of 90 antisemitic murderer rapist torturers into the vicinity of Jewish communities, with another 910 of the same intended, chalila.
We can't change other people. The best we can do is recognise them for who they truly are and act accordingly. When someone shows you who he is, believe him.

Rav Nachman Kahana, with the eponymous website, wrote about the Mufti visiting Auschwitz arm in arm with Mengele. He wrote that when Esav and Yishmael unite the result, chalila, is Auschwitz.
ReplyDeleteTrump, melech Edom personified, makes the significant first presidential call to the heart of Yishmael. It stands to reason that nothing good can come of it for Jews.
Re the 'Abraham Accords'. This is gaslighting at its finest. Hashem's promise to Avraham Avinu was to give Eretz Yisrael to his descendents, not to be shared with anyone.
Be'D Hashem should foil all the plans of our enemies and
lift the darkness of the galut from the eyes and hearts of every Jew.

Sorry I forgot to leave my name. My name is Steve.
ReplyDeleteLet me post again with my name. Basically, I am wondering about two ideas that seem contradictory. The rabbis say we are exiled under the evil kingdom of Rome. They said this was the Roman Empire and then they said this was Christianity.
I am wondering, why do we align politically with Christian voters with conservative Christian values when we say this is a wicked kingdom. If we are agreeing with their policies, how is this a wicked kingdom?
Steve
It's not just the rabbis. The rabbis got it from the prophets. Anyway, yes. It's a matter of the historical record that the Roman Empire evolved into a theocratic entity which became known as The Holy Roman Empire and which underwent further development over the course of another 1500 years, spreading throughout the known world and into the new world.
DeleteWith the Protestant Reformation, the power of the Church was weakened and when it was followed by revolutionary movements which took power from the monarchies (who answered to the Pope) and put it into the hands of the citizenry, "Rome" became what we know today as "Western Civilization".
The rabbis say, "It's a halachah. Eisav hates Ya'aqov." Eisav left Eretz Yisrael when Ya'aqov returned there and he settled in the area of Edom. Later, his people migrated to the area where Rome developed. That's how The West has become synonymous with the end of days prophecies regarding Edom and why Edom is synonymous with Eisav. The Arizal said that the "messiah" of the Chr*stians was a reincarnation of Eisav himself. That's why so much antisemitism arises out of it. He really hated "the rabbis" of his time.
Good, righteous Jews DO NOT "align" with Chr*stians. Those who do are sinners. See the Rambam, Mishneh Torah on how we relate to idolaters. It is too big a subject to get into here, but even when they appear to be moral and adhere to so-called Judeo-Chr*stian values, their interpretations are often miles apart from the truth of the Torah. And few live up to the moral standards they claim to espouse.
We, as Jews, if we live in strict accordance with our Torah, will always be outsiders, never truly belong. And if we think we have something in common with them, we need to examine ourselves for error.
Okay thank you for your explanation
DeleteSteve
One other question. You are saying that the church varies from Jewish values. Let me say that seems to be true in some cases. For example, in tehillim there is a lot of emphasis on caring for the poor. In America, conservative Christians voted for someone who wants to cut medical insurance for people in favor of giving tax breaks for already wealthy people. However, religious Jewish people sided with conservative Christians to elect this president. It seems from what you just posted these religious Jewish people are sinners for aligning with them. Meanwhile, people who left the church are more likely to be democrats. What would you say to this?
ReplyDeleteSteve
I'm saying Chr*stian "values" are not the same as Jewish ones. This is because the values they think they have taken from our Torah are not correctly understood or applied due to their lack of faith in the Oral Torah which explains what is written. Also, any place their Greek testament contradicts the Torah, the Torah is considered to be set aside.
DeleteMany so-called religious Jews lack a complete Torah education and have no idea what the halachah says about relationships with non-Jews, especially the idolaters among them. So, they think and act contrary to the requirements of halachah. That makes them law-breakers - sinners - whether knowingly or not.
We who have the Torah have no need of anything else. We can stand for what is right without alliances with those who only go a small part of the way to the truth. We have no part in anything mixed in with lies - very great lies at that. They proclaim Yeshu to be - not "a" god - but the Creator God. God forbid!! What possible commonality could we ever have with such? Politics are irrelevant to us. And some perceived need on our part to participate or try to influence is a grave error. As long as we are faithful and true to HKB"H and His Torah, He will see to all our needs. Believe it or not, Republicans are not angels and Democrats are not demons.
It is all irrelevant to us in any case. Or at least, it should be, if we are in the right head space.
And by the way I’m not endorsing the democrat party. It could be both parties are bad. I’m just wondering why anyone would endorse the Republican Party.
ReplyDeletePeople who lack faith in HKB"H and think everything depends on them. When they see that they fall short, they look to others to give them a boost, rather than their Father in Heaven.
DeleteOkay so you are saying politics is irrelevant. It seems like a lot of orthodox vote Republican though. I would like to see religious Jewish people criticize Republicans for not caring about poor and disabled people rather than joining forces with them. Maybe make a new political party. Thank you for your answers, I appreciate you writing your thoughts on this matter
ReplyDeleteSteve
To Steve, must interject here. You seem to be naive regarding this matter. That American Jews voted conservative makes all the sense in the world. It's the liberal, practically completely uninformed Jews in Torah who don't seem to understand that the sinful democrats with their woke agenda that completely goes against even the Seven Laws of Noach which all humanity MUST adhere to are the ones going against the Laws of G-D in practically everything associated with their agendas and values.
ReplyDeleteThe Jew who lives in the diaspora is just looking for freedom and that he can live a Torah life wherever he lives and thus far, that would be the conservative way. Politics should not get in the way. Government does not owe the public anything more than serving the people according to the Laws of G-D and man as the Constitution prescribes.
We are in the galut and any questions about anti-semitism is really what should concern the Jew and then he would be wise to make Aliya which it is still easy now to do so, if he can.
If everything is crazy now, it's all been foretold by our Prophets and Sages of 2000 years ago. We are in the process of Geulah now but do not know how much longer this will take. We pray that Hashem will hasten it with great mercy and kindness.
Never forget, anywhere in the world, the Jew is a guest and we never know when the tide will turn. And must only rely upon our Father in Heaven and never, ever in man, government or any entity to be our savior. We always try to be the best citizen wherever we reside (that is Jewish law).
