AN ALTERNATE FUTURE: BEN & JERRY "ABRAHAM ACCORDS ICE CREAM"

Pistachio... Vanilla... Mocha... Honey... Chopped Pistachios... Halva....

Presumably, an ice cream manufacturer is in the business of producing and marketing ice cream, not political divisiveness. But, this is exactly what Ben & Jerry and Unilever are doing, when they enable the evil politics of Jihadism.
Nowhere is this Jihadism more pernicious than in the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) campaign being waged throughout the world by Jew-Hating, Israel-Hating Bigots. This campaign includes the ICC (the so-called International Court of Justice) that presumes to rule the world via the UN (United Nations), as if it's seat in Belgium -- a country that so easily rolled over for the Nazis, like a happy-go-lucky whore -- could presume to dispense justice to such nations as the USA and Israel, countries that stand up for freedom.
Now what do Ben & Jerry, the ICC, and Jihadism have in common? And how can the ice cream of Ben & Jerry, which is under the Kosher Supervision of CHOF-K (a most prestigious authority of Kashruth), be anti-Jewish and anti-Israel?
This latter question is easy to answer, but the doing would mean that CHOF-K would have to value Kashruth more than Greenbacks. It should not even be a question that CHOF-K should immediately revoke it's Kashruth Certification of Ben & Jerry products. There should be no cognitive dissonance about this, whatsoever... none, nada, zilch. In fact a new Non-Kosher Certification should be created for Ben & Jerry and similar Jihad accommodating firms: "CIRCLE ZILCH".
When "freedom of speech" is allowed to flourish as the skirt under which BDS is permitted free legal license by the ICC and by Ben & Jerry, there is the beginning of commonality between the triad of Jihadism, ICC, and Ben & Jerry. Thankfully, at least in the USA, there is great and growing legal strength in opposition to such a license for BDS. Ironically, Israel is the greater question mark... after all, Israel permits "Al-Naqba" celebrations!
What is unique is that Ben & Jerry, by insisting that it's ice cream may not be sold in "Occupied Palestinian Territory", though it may be sold in "Israel", presumes that there are well-defined borders (by none less than the ICC) that would create a State of Palestine and simultaneously shrink Israel, ignoring that the land in question is legitimately disputed and ignoring that from the "Palestinian" point of view, "Occupied Palestine" includes all of Israel.
So in acceding to the ICC perspective, Ben & Jerry grants legitimacy to the ICC, grants legitimacy to Jihadism and BDS, and undermines the legitimacy of Israel and the USA.
At the business level, Ben & Jerry and the ICC not only grant legitimacy to Jihadism and BDS; they also drive wedge after wedge between Kashruth and the businesses that support Kashruth.
The Kashruth industry should take a lesson from Benjamin Franklin, who famously said, "We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."
No Kashruth organization should enable the ICC or Jihadism or BDS against Israel; all Kashruth organizations should deny Kashruth Certification to Ben & Jerry's and to similar businesses accommodating the ICC, Jihadism, and BDS.
Unilever should set the example for all parent companies of subsidiary firms that would give aid and succor to enemies of both peace and civil rights by requiring such firms to toe the line in favor of democracy and against anti-semitism (the BDS campaign is anti-semitism, disguised as free speech against Israel).
Unilever should and must assert itself over Ben & Jerry (1) by speaking in public against Ben & Jerry; (2) by requiring that Ben & Jerry reverse course, walk back it's one-sided bigotry against Israel, and reverse it's illegal policy; and (3) by requiring Ben & Jerry to create a new flavor of ice cream extolling peaceful coexistence of Jews and Arabs in Israel and in the ME (Middle East).
Ben & Jerry "Abraham Accords Ice Cream", anyone?
I imagine "Abraham Accords Ice Cream" as a Pistachio ice cream swirled with Vanilla ice cream, mocha ice cream, and embedded with Halva, chopped Pistachios, and drops of honey...!!!!
Wowowowowow...!!! It's worth making peace, just to be able to eat the ice cream...!!!!

DOES THE PRESENCE OF MANSOUR ABBAS IN THE ISRAELI GOVERNING COALITION SIGNAL A ONE-STATE OR A TWO-STATE SOLUTION?


AND WHAT MAY AN ISRAELI "CHANGING OF THE GUARD" MEAN FOR THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL, FOR A "STATE OF PALESTINE", FOR THE RAND CORPORATION'S "ARC PLAN",  AND FOR IRAN'S NUCLEAR ASPIRATIONS?



<https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/politics-and-diplomacy/lapid-tells-rivlin-new-government-ready-669937>


RAND CORPORATION "ARC PLAN"
FOR A "STATE OF PALESTINE"


<https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9119.html>



THE REAL STORY IS THAT -- UNLESS THE LAPID-LED COALITION GOVERNMENT FAILS TO OCCUR, AND IF NETANYAHU REMAINS IN POWER -- EITHER WAY, MANSOUR ABBAS WILL HAVE A TOP LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, ESTABLISHING ARAB PRESENCE INTO THE MINISTERIAL AND SECURIY ROLES  OF ISRAELI GOVERNMENT AT A CLEARANCE LEVEL NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT.

So what does this mean?

Is this a "kumbayah" moment in Israeli history between the Jews and the Arabs within the boundaries of Israel? 

Or is this a pivotal moment towards the creation of something that never before existed in history, a State of Palestine?
 
The clue to answering this question is to remember the Rand Corporation "Arc" Plan for a "State of Palestine", to remember the likely Biden role in this Plan, and to remember the Roman Road to Masada (the breaching of Masada is the relentless model of European/American Policy towards Israel).  

Above are a few images and a link to detailed information about the Rand Plan, which uses "Jacob's Ladder" as a geographic template by which to bifurcate Israel while linking Gaza, the "West Bank", and Haifa.  This linkage creates a transportaion contiguity between Gaza and the "West Bank" (Judea-Samaria), disrupting Israel and making for a contiguous "State of Palestine", also integrating this new "State" into Israel's north at the Israeli port city of Haifa.

How such a Plan makes for Israeli security is beyond imagination, as it posits an imaginary reality of a desire and will to peace from "Palestininan" entities that are committed to Israel's annihilation.

Where may Mansour Abbas fit in?  

There are three possibilities: (1) immediately obvious roles for Mansour Abbas in the highest levels of Israel's Government; (2) resurrection of Left-Wing Zionism's vestigal teleology to see a joint Jewish-Arab "One-State Solution" [called either "Palestine" or "Israel"] uniting the "West Bank" and "Gaza" with "Israel"; or, (3) a working relationship between Israel's Jewish leadership and Masour Abbas that may ultimately lead to Israeli divestment of East Jerusalem to enable a "State of Palestine" capitolled in East Jerusalem with Mansour Abbas as leader of the new "State of Palestine" (he may be the only anti-Zionist political figure with sufficient stature to broker a "State of Palestine" into existence in which Hamas and Fatah and Israeli Arabs (who may prefer to live as citizens of a "State of Palestine") may co-exist and share  government. 

Demographics and facts on the ground determine the politics even as the politics may determine the facts on the ground or even the demographics. 
 
Facts in the air also determine the politics: missiles and tunnels from Gaza, missiles and tunnels from Lebanon, missiles (possibly nuclear) and the "land bridge" from Iran through Iraq, Jordan, and Syria into Israel....

Most important may not be whether or not it is Lapid or Bennett or Netanyahu in the PM role, so much as the deeper meaning of the presence of Mansour Abbas in the Government, and the ability of a unity government to act with versatility and flexibility in the best interests of the State of Israel (this latter is the great question, as indications from Benny Gantz and Lapid and Bennet are that once (and if) Netanyahu is no longer in office, the reins of power will shift to a coaltion of conflicting interests that will hopefully tear each other apart before Iran goes nuclear).


NEVER FORGIVE... NEVER FORGET... NEVER AGAIN....

IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE...? BEYOND ANTI-SEMITISM: WHAT COMES FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD TO MAKE WAR ON THE U.S.A.


IF YOU THINK THE STEADY INCREASE OF ANTI-JEWISH VIOLENCE IS 'MERELY' ABOUT ANTI-SEMITISM, THEN THINK AGAIN... THE JIHAD (HOLY WAR OF ISLAM) HAS ALREADY COME FOR YOU... AND THE JIHAD WANTS YOU TO THINK THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE WONDERFUL, IF YOU JUST HELP THEM TO EXTERMINATE JEWS.

 

And if this already sounds familiar, it should indeed sound familiar, as both right-wing and left-wing hatred of Jews is just the beginning of totalitarian manifestations such as Chinese totalitarianism (it is illegal to practice Judaism in China or to practice many other religions in communist China), Soviet totalitarianism (it was illegal to practice Judaism and other religions in the USSR), NAZI totalitarianism (Jews were murdered almost to extinction in NAZI Europe, as were many others), and many other similar totalitarian cultural/political/military manifestations of totalitarianism.

 

If the photos in this post call to mind any historical knowledge you already possess, such as knowledge of Kristallnacht in the time of NAZI Germany, please keep in mind that the meaning behind "Free Palestine" (the current Jihadist euphemism for "annihilate Israel") is that in seeking to eliminate Israel, the Muslim Jihad seeks to eliminate not only Israel, which it labels the "Little Satan"; but, the Muslim Jihad seeks to eliminate the USA, which it labels the "Big Satan".   The Muslim Jihad already thinks of Europe as 'Eurabia'.  Please keep in mind that the Muslim Jihad allied itself with the NAZI movement during WW2 and dined with Adolf Hitler.

 

Just in case you haven't understood the gravity of what we are seeing on the streets in the USA and around the world today, we are seeing organized terrorism against every value of freedom and democracy, and the greatest tool in the exercise of Jihadist terrorism is democracy itself, beginning with the abuse of free speech in order to silence those, who would 'blaspheme' Islam; and that abuse begins with the abuse of Jews, who are an outspoken people against oppression and oppressors.  Neither the living nor the dead are sacred to the Muslim Jihad, and the Muslim Jihad has taken it to the streets of the world including right here in the USA.


Today organized Muslim Jihadists attack Jews... but, they also attack Christians, other Muslims, and anyone unwilling to bow down to their totalitarian demands.  When you see the flag of Israel burning or a Jew being beaten or Jewish cemeteries desecrated, you are also seeing the past, present, and future of the Jihadist program for everyone, Jewish or not Jewish.  The Muslim Jihad respects neither the living nor the dead.

 

NYC, LA, Baltimore, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Jerusalem... all are targets of deliberate, organized Muslim Jihadism.  Today the Israeli Flag burns... tomorrow, the American Flag burns... and all of this is delivered to us most recently on the anniversary of Al-Naqba ("The Catastrophe" of the creation of modern Israel) by the Muslim Jihad, which this year occurred essentially simultaneously to the Muslim holiday of Eid on the conclusions of Ramada, the Christian holiday of Pentacle Sunday (a Christian recognition of the Feast of Weeks), and Shavuos (referred to in English as the Feast of Weeks, when Jews celebrate the giving of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, as well as the enjoyment of First Fruits of the first harvest in the Holy Land).

 

Alexander Pope famously wrote, "No man is an island unto himself.... never ask for whom the bell tolls... it tolls for thee."  In the Torah is written the commandment that Jews must eliminate the "remembrance of Amalek".  Today the mission falls upon Jews and Israel to warn the world of Amalek, which we suffer today as Muslim Jihad.


President Lincoln famously wrote in his 1862 Annual Message to Congress -- Concluding Remarks, "We cannot escape history...".  

 

One year later at Gettysburg, President Lincoln famously said, "It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

 

In 1814 Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner:

 O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

WHO WON THE WAR

Backgammon versus Monopoly  and  "Wooden Ships"

For two-days now it seems that the ceasefire that Egypt brokered between Israel and Hamas/Islamic Jihad has held.  The result has neither achieved mutually assured destruction nor victory for anyone, although at least one commentator has suggested that the result has been a "win-win" for both sides.  

 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ORTOX-P0T8>

For the Arabs the game of life is Backgammon; for the Israelis the game of life is Monopoly.  If there is any winner, it can only be the creators of games... perhaps there is a new game that may make sense for today's world of the global internet?  Can actual war be transcended in favor of virtual war?  Can real destruction be avoided and prevented?  Real life is not holographic -- yet -- and losses and gains have consequences on the ground, below the ground, in the air, in the sea, and now even in space beyond Earth's atmosphere.  Our planet and it's resources shrink, and oligarchies rule everywhere, by whatever names they choose to market their oligarchies.  Today we live in a world of "Divine Right of Oligarchy", though we may religiously, philosophically, dogmatically insist on Right according to God, Democracy, Republicanism, Communism, Capitalism, Tribalism... and all the while we keep chasing and eating our tails.... Such is our nourishment today!!!


So...  who won the recent war between Gaza and Israel... anyone...?

 

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O69L2mO9y-4>


If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend
You're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won?
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us
Go, take your sister then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us
And it's a fair wind blowin' warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go....
