Moronic Quote of the Day
“I was surprised by the American pressure against construction in Judea and Samaria, it is critical for them.”
PM Naftali Bennett speaking yesterday in a political/security cabinet meeting
What planet is Bennett living on? One American Administration after another (except for that of President Trump) has exerted pressure on Israel not to build in Judea and Samaria. Did Bennett really think it would be different now that he is prime minister?
Word also came yesterday that Bennett is shocked that the U.S. is proceeding with plans to open a consulate for Palestinians in eastern Jerusalem after he lobbied President Biden in Washington not to do so. Again, what did he think the Americans were going to do?
Biden doesn’t give a darn about what the moronic Bennett thinks or says.

Israel By The Numbers
6% : When Israel began pumping natural gas from its offshore wells, the Bank of Israel estimated that by the end of 2022, proceeds from sales would mean that 12.8 billion shekels would be deposited in Israel’s Sovereign Wealth Account. However to date, only 741 million has been deposited–about 6% of what was predicted.
The Leviathan site off the coast of Israel. The proceeds from the sale of natural gas were supposed to fund all kinds of social programs in Israel.
100,000 : Yesterday, Hassan Nasrallah bragged that Hezbollah has 100,000 battle hardened soldiers in its “army.” In fact, this is number is egregiously exaggerated with the actual number probably being more like 30,000. The larger number includes aged reservists, young “recruits” who were forcibly drafted to fight in Syria, and all those who were wounded in Syria and elsewhere.
1.2 billion : State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman reported yesterday that Israel’s defense industry is responsible for polluting 1.2 billion cubic meters of water with hazardous pollutants. Most of the pollution comes from “fuel tank farms.”
$49 : Amazon announced yesterday that Israelis will receive free shipping on all orders of more than $49. Over the last year, we have seen free shipping based on reducing total amounts from $99 to $79 to $65 and now to $49.
10,000 : Of the some 17,000 active Corona patients in Israel, roughly 10,000 are schoolchildren. Another 60,000 students are in quarantine after having been exposed to a fellow student with the virus.
8 million : Goods in the amount of 8 million shekels will be transferred into Gaza which in turn will be sold by Hamas to pay the “salaries” of its senior terrorists. Once again, Israel submits to blackmail.
48 hours : According to an Egyptian newspaper, Israel and Hamas have reached a tentative “prisoner” swap deal and will announce in the next two days. Who knows what our government has given away this time?
13 : The number of Syrian and Iranian soldiers who were killed this morning when a bus they were on was struck by two IEDs under a bridge in Damascus.
The burned out remains of the bus in Syria this morning.
3,000 : The number of additional “Gaza traders” that Israel will now permit to cross the border and operate in Israel. This brings to 10,000 the number of such Hamasniks now wandering around in the country doing who knows what. By the way, this comes on the heels of “Defense” Minister Benny Gantz’s decision yesterday to permit 4000 Palestinian spouses to receive ID cards in the family reunification program.
And so it goes on a Thursday here in Israel.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
