Photo of the Day:
A Palestinian raises a “rock” to hit a Jewish community member in the head.
Jewish community members of Yakir were building a covering for a spring yesterday when they were attacked by Palestinians and members of left-wing NGOs. In the photo above, note the Palestinian with a “rock” raised over his head, the Jewish community member with the kipa on his head looking back at his attacker, and western NGO members to the left wearing hats.
This is what happens on a daily basis in Judea and Samaria—except that the international media always turns it around and accuses Jewish youth of attacking Palestinians.
Quote of the Day
“Without Yamina, Netanyahu has no political backbone. When we were not a part of the government, he appointed activist judges, and released terrorists. It was only because of us that he came up with the annexation plan . . . Netanyahu prefers powerless dwarfs next to him.”
Head of the Yamina Party and former Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, speaking at the podium of the Knesset yesterday before the swearing-in ceremony.
What Bennett said is true on all counts. Now that Netanyahu has excluded Yamina from his Coalition government, we can expect a return to the same old Netanyahu–a Netanyahu who surrounds himself with neutered yes-men. Read “Today’s Blog” for what a Yamina-less government is already doing.

Amiram Ben Oliel has been convicted of murdering the three members of the Dawabshe family 5 years ago.
As we have been reporting for years, the prosecution has admitted that Ben Oliel was tortured to get a confession and has admitted that the eyewitness account supposedly tying Ben Oliel to the Molotov attack was false.
Not only this, but the Court has ignored mountains of evidence that shows that the firebombing of the Dawabshe house was just one in a series of incidents pitting the Dawabshe clan in Duma against another clan.
Never mind all of that. Amiram Ben Oliel never had a chance. Already in solitary confinement since 2015, Ben Oliel was the designated scapegoat of a judicial system determined to find a Jewish community member guilty.
His arrest, torture, “confession”, and “trial” will forever be a black mark on Israel.

The New Israeli Government’s Inexorable Swing To The Left
It didn’t take long.
The new government swearing in ceremony had barely ended when Israel’s inexorable swing to the left began.
It was announced that the new government, with Benjamin Netanyahu at the head, has agreed to immediately hand over an 800 million shekel ($228 million dollar) “loan” to the PLO. Why does your humble servant use the phrase “hand over” and put “loan” in quotation marks?
Because we all know that the Palestinians will never pay back 1 agora of the loan.
But wait . . . there was more.
Following this 800 million shekel loan, Israel will then proceed to loan the PLO another 500 million shekels ($142 million) every month for the next six months.
Think about this for a moment.
Israel is paying the PLO 3,800,000,000 shekels over the next six months–over 1 billion dollars. And where is the money coming from?
The Israeli taxpayer.
It is not enough that our own economy is in shambles because of massive Corona closures or that Israeli families do not have enough money to put food on their tables, now we are supposed to fund the very terrorist organization that incites terror attacks against us everyday.
It is beyond belief.
And precisely what we said would happen in “the right” was excluded from the government. Do you think that Benny Gantz and any of his minions will say a peep about this outrageous expenditure of money?
So we begin down our slippery slope to a leftist government.
