Tel-Chai Nation

Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.


Even if the right is elected, the left still dominates because of the supreme court

Kenneth Levin explained in Israel HaYom why the Israeli left is still dominant in force:
The potential for prosecutorial abuse over these years has largely derived from the fact that Israel’s Supreme Court has for several decades been ideologically biased and at the same time uniquely activist and political compared to similar courts in other Western democracies.

Its political partisanship and discrimination have long been recognized by much of the public and have translated into significant public distrust. In a poll conducted by the Maagar Mohot Institute and published November 11, 2011, only 14% of respondents believed the Supreme Court represented all elements of the nation while 51% believed it did not. By 54% to 46%, those polled viewed the court as politically slanted. Of the 54% who declared the court politically biased, by 75% to 11% they saw it as slanted in favor of the Left.

The Supreme Court’s ideological bias has been rendered much more consequential by its activism. The court has assigned to itself the right to pass judgment on and veto acts of the elected legislature. It claims the right to do so in the context of its supposed role as enforcer of the precepts of the Constitution. But Israel, of course, has no constitution. It has basic laws, and the Supreme Court has allowed itself the greatest possible latitude in interpreting Basic Laws in a manner that supports its power grabs. One consequence of the court’s activism is its encouragement of expanded prosecutorial authority.

Both the ideological bias of the court and its assumption of such transcendent powers were codified by Aharon Barak during his years at the helm of the Supreme Court (1995-2006), and they have remained essentially intact since then.

An earlier Supreme Court president, Moshe Landau, said of Barak’s arrogating to the court such power, “I think [he] has not, and does not, accept the rightful place that the court should have among the various authorities in our regime.” Landau saw Barak striving “to interject [into all areas of Israeli life] certain moral values as he deems appropriate. And this amounts to a kind of judicial dictatorship that I find completely inappropriate.”

There is yet another key contributing factor to the patterns of anti-democratic authoritarianism and political bias in the judicial and broader legal system: Israel’s judicial appointments committee.
Read it in full. This is something that's got to be changed in coming years, and hopefully, by the end of the month, a government will be formed that can deal with the issue.

    The political Far-Left (which always
    hates Israel and gives unconditional
    love to Muslims) has a near-monopoly on:

    [1] the entire secular educational system
    from kindergarten to high school
    and college and graduate school

    [2[ the entire mainstream news-media:
    newspapers, magazines, web sites, textbooks

    [3] the entire European Union

    [4] the entire Hollywood entertainment industry

    [5] major high-technology companies, like:
    Google, YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter, Yahoo, Reddit

    [6] numerous non-profit foundations and labor unions
    and store owners, including Amnesty International.
    https://ziontruth.blogspot.com/2019/01/ngo-monitor-amnesty-intl-planning.html

    [7] many large liberal churches and

    [8] a rapidly-growing percentage of
    the American Democratic Party.

    [9] many non-Orthodox synagogues and
    pseudo-“Jewish” organizations like:
    HIAS, ADL, J-Street, Shalom Achshav
    [Peace Now], B’Tzelem, the entire
    Reform Judaism movement, and many more,
    including the Supreme Court of Israel.

    [10] members of the Intersectional Movement:
    Feminists, Blacks, Gays, Lesbians, Irish Nationalists

    [11] Human Resources departments
    (this according to a video by Prager University)

    The Koran teaches that Jews are
    the biggest enemies of Muslims.

    The Koran’s 5th chapter [al-ma’idah
    = the table], verse 82 says:


    “You will find that the people most
    hostile towards the believers [Muslims]
    are the Jews and the polytheists...”

    This accurate and relevant quote from
    The Koran is NEVER MENTIONED in
    the Israel-bashing mainstream-news-media
    and it never will be,
    because it sends the wrong message:

    It tells THE TRUTH about Islam!

    ===================================
    If you want the truth about Israel
    and the Middle East, then do not waste
    your time with the FAKE NEWS
    of The New York Times and the
    Israel-bashing mainstream-news-media.

    Instead, visit these web sites:

    www.algemeiner.com

    www.memri.org

    www.aish.com

    www.DanielPipes.org

    www.UKMediaWatch.org

    Who are the Palestinians?
