The Outrageous Photo of the Day: The End of Civil Discourse
What do you think are the white streaks on the back of Israel Katz’s coat?
Last night Israel Katz, the Minister of National Infrastructure, Energy, and Water, was speaking at a conference in Tel Aviv. Throughout his remarks, the anarchist anti-government “protesters” in the audience repeated hurled curses at him punctuated by such words as “pig” and “fat.“
On the way out of the venue, the anarchists spit all over him.
The white streaks you see on the back of his coat are saliva.
Yes, saliva.
This is the outrageous point we have come to in Israel. There is no more civil discourse.
Otzma Yehudit’s Response To Gantz
Yesterday saw the abominable Benny Gantz once again absurdly calling for Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir’s resignation because Gantz said that Ben Gvir is responsible for the lack of security in Israeli-Arab society.
To which Ben Gvir’s Otzma Party responded with this:
“Benny Gantz was a corrupt and leftist minister of defense. During his term in office, terrorism soared to its highest peak in over a decade. In response to the terrorism, Gantz hosted Holocaust denier Abu Mazen to his home and gave him billions of shekels as a reward for paying terrorists to murder Israelis.
Gantz also risked Israeli lives by abandoning checkpoints and barriers in Judea and Samaria. He froze construction in the Jewish communities, and let the Palestinians build wildly with foreign funding.
Gantz is the last person to preach to anyone about security.”
How utterly true.
It will take years to undo the damage Benny Gantz did to our security.
The News on the Israeli Street
The war in Judea and Samaria.
Shooting attacks:
Palestinian terrorists opened fire on IDF troops at Deheisha beside Bethlehem.
Palestinian terrorists opened fire on our soldiers who were operating in the Shechem Casbah overnight.
IED, Molotov, “rock” attacks:

Congratulations again to our U20 soccer team! . . .
The “boys in blue” finished the U20 World Cup with yet another resounding victory last night defeating South Korea 3-1–scoring their last two goals in the final 15 minutes of play.
The win means that our U20 came in 3rd place in the tournament–an unheard of result for Israel.
Kolakevod to the players and the coaches!
By the way, Uruguay–that defeated us 1-0 in the semifinal– also defeated Italy 1-0 in the final.

The Biden Administration delegitimizes Israel, again . . .
Your humble servant does not have to tell you dear readers that the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is one of the most hideous anti-Semitic, anti-Israel institutions on the planet.
It was because of that rampant anti-Semitism that President Trump decided to pull the U.S. out six years ago–a step that Israel took as well.
Yesterday, it became known that the President Biden has quietly moved to have the U.S. rejoin UNESCO.
Yes, you read that correctly.
This move comes after the Bidenites have been pressuring Israel to rejoin as well. To date, Israel has resisted the arm twisting.
Disingenuously in the extreme, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken recently leaked information that Israel “has withdrawn its opposition to the U.S. return.”
Who knows what the U.S. threatened Israel with in order to get this “withdrawal of opposition”?

The Lapid Farce At The Netanyahu Trial Today
L-r Einat Saruf (singer), Arnon Milchan, and Yair Lapid hugging each other at a Tel Aviv nightclub in 2004 (photo Moti Kimche). Today, Lapid testified that he was never a friend of Milchan.
Try to wrap your mind around the current absurdity playing out in a courtroom in Jerusalem.
Yair Lapid, the leader of the Opposition and one of the people at the forefront of the movement to oust PM Netanyahu, is testifying against Netanyahu in Case 1000.
That case centers around whether PM Netanyahu sought tax breaks for Hollywood tycoon Arnon Milchan in return for cigars and champagne.
The alleged “attempted” quid pro quo took place in 2013 when Lapid was the Minister of Finance. According to Lapid’s testimony so far, both Netanyahu and Milchan raised the subject of tax breaks in two “offhand” conversations.
Aside from the absurdity of having Netanyahu’s most vehement detractor testifying against him in court, we have the additional absurdities of:
—Lapid was the director of a company owned by Milchan in Los Angeles in the 1990s.
–Lapid allegedly received cigars from Milchan years ago.
–the contradiction between Milchan who has called Lapid “very much” his friend, with Lapid’s testimony today claiming that he was not a friend of Milchan (see “nightclub photo” above).
What word can we use to describe the farce taking place? Outrageous? Egregious? Disgusting? You decide, dear reader.

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.
