Novelist and journalist Taffy Brodesser-Akner will write the screenplay for an upcoming film called “The Get,” based on Matt Shaer’s 2014 article in GQ about a rabbi who tries to coerce Orthodox men to give their wives religious divorces through questionable methods.
The controversial Rabbi Mendel Epstein was determined to procure Jewish divorces for the observant women — in Jewish law, the “get” is in the hands of their husbands — and went to some bizarre ends. Shaer reported that Epstein kidnapped, beat and even used cattle prods on their testicles as persuaders. He wound up in jail.

jewworldorder--2020-09-20--Post-lockdown field trip? Visit some of Israel’s (320!) archaeological gardens

Israeli law requires that any object discovered in the country which is of historical interest , or was created before 1700 , becomes the property of the State .
It must be reported to the Israel Antiquities Authority ( IAA ) within 15 days .
And if it is found on a construction site , work is to be halted immediately after discovery for the next two weeks .
So when an unusually ornate Roman-era sarcophagus was uncovered in 2015 during construction of an Ashkelon neighborhood , the contractor should have let the authorities know .
Instead , he made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Otherwise he would have had to halt construction , and perhaps to delay work indefinitely if the IAA decided to begin excavations at the site .
Unfortunately for him , archeologists from IAA ’ s Theft Prevention Unit making a late-night raid found the hidden sarcophagus .
Today it is on display at one of the Authority ’ s 320 unique open-air archaeological gardens and exhibits .
Found all over the country , they are located in well-designed sites that are free to all comers and , with one exception , accessible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up Head of the Department of Museums and Displays at the IAA is Dr. Orit Shamir , responsible for all of our archeological gardens and exhibits .
What makes them particularly exciting is the wide variety of settings , made possible because each was designed by a different set of curators and architects .
A few weeks ago , and despite the black coronavirus mood in the country , we decided to explore four archaeological gardens and to view @ @ @ @ @ @ @ require climbing steps , and all of them took us out into open air .
To our surprise , we found that despite easy access to the sites , there was no evidence of vandalism .
These days young people from all sectors of society are exposed to archaeological exhibits and gardens , and participate in excavations — vital tools that teach the value of protecting our artifacts .
Most of Israel ’ s ancient settlers were farmers who grew grapes , cereals , and olives from which they produced wine , grains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us understand what their daily lives were all about by providing a look at the tools of their trade , architectural elements , water sources and , in Ashkelon , the stone anchors that kept their boats moored in the harbor .
Because most of the artifacts on display were discovered in or near the gardens themselves , they often have similar themes but are actually quite diverse .
Curator Ayelet Grover had a clear vision in mind when she created the garden in Ashkelon .
It was her plan to bring the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ throughout the city and dating back several millennia .
On display in the garden are splendid column capitals , bases and a pedestal made of imported marble , an ancient gutter found during construction at Barzilai Hospital , stone anchors , several sarcophagi – including the exquisite specimen that was unearthed and hidden for a time — and a Roman-era mosaic .
What is most impressive about this garden , besides the rich archaeological items on exhibit , is its setting .
Ashkelon ’ s Archaeological Garden is next to an unusually elaborate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mediterranean Sea , which delights with its look , the sound of the waves , and delightful sea air .
Grover also designed the archaeological garden in Hod Hasharon , a quiet town south of the city of Ra ’ anana in central Israel .
The centerpiece of a charming little park with benches , trees , plants and flowers , the garden displays antiquities from farmers ’ daily life long ago like an ancient well capstone , the oldest known type of olive crusher ( saflul ) , and the earliest known @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Hod Hasharon is home to a fabulous ecological park with something for everyone .
Located right in the middle of the city , it is perfectly maintained and features trails , a catfish-filled stream , a lake , a bridge , exercise equipment , overlooks , and lots and lots of grass .
Thousands of years ago , a deserted hill in the center of Israel bustled with activity .
Called , today , Givat Titora , some experts believe it to be ancient Modi ’ in , home to the Maccabees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Land of Israel to Jewish control .
Others have identified it as the biblical Gitaim ( “ two wine presses ” ) , mentioned by Nehemiah ( 11:33 ) .
Among remains on the hill are overgrown caves and cisterns , a trough , a Jewish ritual bath ( mikveh ) and ruins of a two-story Crusader fortress called Tantara that utilized Jewish gravestones from the Second Temple Period in its foundations .
Transformation of the hill in 2018 into an archaeological garden was carried out by curator Edna Ayash .
Here , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the hill ( gorgeous in autumn , winter and spring ) and well-preserved or restored artifacts that include a wine press , decorative capitals , the stone lintel from a farmhouse , and a screw press that probably dates back to the fourth and fifth centuries .
Winding trails run all through the garden , and a beautiful overlook offers a stunning view of the region ( probably the reason the Crusaders chose this site for their fortress ) .
An audio guide in English and Hebrew tells the story of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1948 War of Independence .
Best seasons to visit : autumn , winter and spring when masses of flowers bloom everywhere .
Situated next to moshav Givat Yeshayahu and adjacent to offices of the Jewish National Fund , the archaeological garden sits , naturally , in a lovely forest setting .
Designed by curator Hagit Neugeborn , it features an ancient farmers ’ roller ( maagal ) , the heavy door to a mausoleum , a rolling stone , donkey mill , ossuary , and an elaborate oil press .
Heavy Roman era @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were brought to the site after cranes extracted them from their location along today ’ s Highway 38 .
Extra added attraction at Givat Yeshayahu : a platform with picnic tables surrounded by palm trees .
After the 1967 Six Day War , the ravaged Jewish Quarter of the Old City underwent a long process of reconstruction .
All kinds of architectural elements were discovered in the rubble , while others had been incorporated into later structures .
On view in a lovely archaeological exhibit , they point to the existence of wealthy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ private and public buildings were luxurious in the extreme .
Curator Ravit Nenner-Soriano inaugurated the archaeological exhibit a couple of months ago — despite the coronavirus — with a wonderful collection of artifacts .
An elbow column on display was used to support roofing vaults during the Crusader era ; an ornamental item from the Middle Ages and called a muqarnas connected round and square elements in a construction .
Other antiquities include a beautiful frieze , a decorative cornice , and bases and capitals made of marble .
While the archaeological gardens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the attractive archaeology exhibit in the Quarter features detailed signs in English , Hebrew and Arabic .
Visitors can take the opportunity to walk through the Quarter , full of historic sites like the Roman Cardo and the Broad Wall , built by King Hezekiah in the 8th century BCE .

Israeli law requires that any object discovered in the country which is of historical interest, or was created before 1700, becomes the property of the State. It must be reported to the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) within 15 days. And if it is found on a construction site, work is to be halted immediately after discovery for the next two weeks.
So when an unusually ornate Roman-era sarcophagus was uncovered in 2015 during construction of an Ashkelon neighborhood, the contractor should have let the authorities know. Instead, he made sure the sarcophagus stayed out of sight. Otherwise he would have had to halt construction, and perhaps to delay work indefinitely if the IAA decided to begin excavations at the site.
Unfortunately for him, archeologists from IAA’s Theft Prevention Unit making a late-night raid found the hidden sarcophagus. Today it is on display at one of the Authority’s 320 unique open-air archaeological gardens and exhibits. Found all over the country, they are located in well-designed sites that are free to all comers and, with one exception, accessible 24/7.

Head of the Department of Museums and Displays at the IAA is Dr. Orit Shamir, responsible for all of our archeological gardens and exhibits. What makes them particularly exciting is the wide variety of settings, made possible because each was designed by a different set of curators and architects.

A few weeks ago, and despite the black coronavirus mood in the country, we decided to explore four archaeological gardens and to view one archaeological exhibit. None of them require climbing steps, and all of them took us out into open air.
To our surprise, we found that despite easy access to the sites, there was no evidence of vandalism. These days young people from all sectors of society are exposed to archaeological exhibits and gardens, and participate in excavations — vital tools that teach the value of protecting our artifacts.
Most of Israel’s ancient settlers were farmers who grew grapes, cereals, and olives from which they produced wine, grains and olive oil.
Archaeological gardens help us understand what their daily lives were all about by providing a look at the tools of their trade, architectural elements, water sources and, in Ashkelon, the stone anchors that kept their boats moored in the harbor. Because most of the artifacts on display were discovered in or near the gardens themselves, they often have similar themes but are actually quite diverse.

Ashkelon
Curator Ayelet Grover had a clear vision in mind when she created the garden in Ashkelon. It was her plan to bring the past into the present with artifacts discovered throughout the city and dating back several millennia. On display in the garden are splendid column capitals, bases and a pedestal made of imported marble, an ancient gutter found during construction at Barzilai Hospital, stone anchors, several sarcophagi – including the exquisite specimen that was unearthed and hidden for a time — and a Roman-era mosaic.
What is most impressive about this garden, besides the rich archaeological items on exhibit, is its setting. Ashkelon’s Archaeological Garden is next to an unusually elaborate playground and located only meters from the Mediterranean Sea, which delights with its look, the sound of the waves, and delightful sea air.

Hod Hasharon
Grover also designed the archaeological garden in Hod Hasharon, a quiet town south of the city of Ra’anana in central Israel. The centerpiece of a charming little park with benches, trees, plants and flowers, the garden displays antiquities from farmers’ daily life long ago like an ancient well capstone, the oldest known type of olive crusher (saflul), and the earliest known system for pressing oil (bodida).
Hod Hasharon is home to a fabulous ecological park with something for everyone. Located right in the middle of the city, it is perfectly maintained and features trails, a catfish-filled stream, a lake, a bridge, exercise equipment, overlooks, and lots and lots of grass.
Some experts believe Givat Titora is the ancient site of Modi’in, home of the fabled Maccabees. (Shmuel Bar-Am)
Givat Titora
Thousands of years ago, a deserted hill in the center of Israel bustled with activity. Called, today, Givat Titora, some experts believe it to be ancient Modi’in, home to the Maccabees who vanquished the Greeks and returned the Land of Israel to Jewish control. Others have identified it as the biblical Gitaim (“two wine presses”), mentioned by Nehemiah (11:33).
Among remains on the hill are overgrown caves and cisterns, a trough, a Jewish ritual bath (mikveh) and ruins of a two-story Crusader fortress called Tantara that utilized Jewish gravestones from the Second Temple Period in its foundations.
Transformation of the hill in 2018 into an archaeological garden was carried out by curator Edna Ayash. Here, ancient remains mingle with the natural beautify of the hill (gorgeous in autumn, winter and spring) and well-preserved or restored artifacts that include a wine press, decorative capitals, the stone lintel from a farmhouse, and a screw press that probably dates back to the fourth and fifth centuries.
Winding trails run all through the garden, and a beautiful overlook offers a stunning view of the region (probably the reason the Crusaders chose this site for their fortress). An audio guide in English and Hebrew tells the story of a battle that took place nearby during the 1948 War of Independence. Best seasons to visit: autumn, winter and spring when masses of flowers bloom everywhere.

Givat Yeshayahu
Situated next to moshav Givat Yeshayahu and adjacent to offices of the Jewish National Fund, the archaeological garden sits, naturally, in a lovely forest setting. Designed by curator Hagit Neugeborn, it features an ancient farmers’ roller (maagal), the heavy door to a mausoleum, a rolling stone, donkey mill, ossuary, and an elaborate oil press. Heavy Roman era milestones, two of them inscribed, were brought to the site after cranes extracted them from their location along today’s Highway 38.

Jerusalem archaeological exhibit
After the 1967 Six Day War, the ravaged Jewish Quarter of the Old City underwent a long process of reconstruction. All kinds of architectural elements were discovered in the rubble, while others had been incorporated into later structures. On view in a lovely archaeological exhibit, they point to the existence of wealthy residents living the good life, whose private and public buildings were luxurious in the extreme.
Curator Ravit Nenner-Soriano inaugurated the archaeological exhibit a couple of months ago — despite the coronavirus — with a wonderful collection of artifacts. An elbow column on display was used to support roofing vaults during the Crusader era; an ornamental item from the Middle Ages and called a muqarnas connected round and square elements in a construction. Other antiquities include a beautiful frieze, a decorative cornice, and bases and capitals made of marble.
While the archaeological gardens we explored were signposted in Hebrew only, the attractive archaeology exhibit in the Quarter features detailed signs in English, Hebrew and Arabic. Visitors can take the opportunity to walk through the Quarter, full of historic sites like the Roman Cardo and the Broad Wall, built by King Hezekiah in the 8th century BCE.

ROME (AFP) — Italians head to the polls Sunday — to the alarm of coronavirus experts — for a referendum and regional elections that could weaken the government and radically reshape the political landscape.
Just a week after a Herculean effort by schools to reopen in line with last-minute COVID-19 rules, classrooms across the country will be shut to pupils and transformed into ballot stations for the two-day vote.

The referendum, on slashing the number of members of parliament — from 630 to 400 in the lower house, and 315 to 200 in the upper house — is expected to pass, though there has been a late uptick in the number of prominent ‘no’ declarations.
The cost-cutting reform is the brainchild of the co-governing Five Star Movement (M5S), but while its center-left coalition Democratic Party (PD) partner and parties on the right are theoretically in favor, their support has been lackluster at best.
Uncertain future
The regional battle is for governance of Campania, Liguria, Marche, Puglia, Tuscany, Valle d’Aosta and Veneto.
The right-wing coalition is set to easily retake Veneto and Liguria, and it could also snatch Marche and Puglia from the left.
But all eyes will be on Tuscany, a historic left-wing stronghold that might fall to Matteo Salvini’s far-right League.
“If the left performs particularly poorly… Brussels will grow concerned,” Berenberg economist Florian Hense told AFP.

It will worry whether the national recovery plan Italy has to present to obtain grants or loans to aid its ailing economy after the coronavirus lockdown “will be ambitious enough, given the limited political capital of the coalition in Rome,” he said.
“And whether, whatever plan Italy comes up with, it will actually implement it given the uncertain future of the current coalition.”
Concern over virus
The poll is going ahead despite warnings against opening polling stations while COVID-19 case numbers are on the rise.
While Italy currently has fewer new cases than Britain, France or Spain, it is still recording more than 1,500 daily.
“The country is in a state of emergency; it is utterly contradictory to be massing people together at polling stations, particularly in light of the trend in Europe,” Professor Massimo Galli, infectious diseases chief at Milan’s Sacco hospital, told AFP.
He said previously that holding the elections now would be “madness.”
Some precautions have been taken however, with elderly and pregnant voters getting fast-track lanes to vote.
With older people potentially put off voting by the health risks, the left has been organizing special transport.
One in three of voters for the PD and League are over 65-years old, according to Italy’s Corriere della Sera daily.
Nearly 2,000 voters in isolation due to the coronavirus have also registered to have their votes collected, including former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.

But fear of catching the virus from voters obliged to pull down their masks to allow them to be identified has seen a flurry of last-minute desertions by polling station volunteers.
Milan was forced Saturday to call urgently for 100 fresh pairs of hands.
Prime Minister Conte has clinched a behind-doors deal with PD leader Nicola Zingaretti to fight to save each other’s political skins should the left should perform disastrously, according to the Repubblica daily.
That might not be enough.
“These elections are not going to topple the government,” Political commentator Barbara Fiammeri for Italy’s Sole 24 Ore daily told AFP.
“But there could well be a crisis, whether it be Conte’s fall, the forming of new coalition, or even a national unity government.”

بين المثقف والمثوقف – عبد الستار قاسم
Posted on by uprootedpalestinians 2020-09-18 الصفصاف يتداول الناس على مختلف أوساطهم كلمة مثقف ويجتهدون في تفسيرها وفي المسؤوليات المترتبة على حملها. عموما، يرى الناس ان الذين يتصفون بهذه الكلمة يمكن أن يكونوا أعمدة في المجتمع ويقفوا مع الحق وضد الباطل والظلم. الناس يفترضون من دون تحليل أو فلسفة للكلمة أن الذي يتصف بالثقافة يحمل مسؤولية وأمانة كبيرتين، وهو لا بد يدافع عن العدالة ضد القهر والكبت والانحراف الأخلاقي. الخ. لكن من المفروض أن يكون هناك تعريف للمثقف حتى يكون الناس عموما على بينة مما يتحدثون عنه، ومن المفروض أن تلعب وسائل الإعلام دورا أساسيا في البحث عن تعريف أو تعاريف ذات صبغة علمية وتنقلها للناس. بخاصة في هذه الأيام حين يكثر الحديث حول دور المثقفين في مواجهة التطبيع مع الكيان الصهيوني، وشد أزر القابضين على الجمر الرافضين للاعتراف بالكيان الصهيوني والتطبيع معه وإقامة أي علاقات معه سوى علاقة المقاومة ضده وضد من يدعمونه. هذا المقال القصير يقدم تعريفا، وللناس التفاعل معه. المثقف هو صاحب علم ومعرفة يوظفهما لإحقاق الحق ومواجهة الظلم والقهر والاستعباد ومعالجة هموم الناس والسهر على راحتهم. وهذا هو الناجي الوحيد من بين أصناف المثقفين العديدة. وقد سبق أن كتبت كتابا بعنوان قبور المثقفين العرب ونشرته دار الفرسان في عمان/ الأردن، وصنفت فيه المسمون بالمثقفين إلى أصناف وفئات عديدة، وكلها وضعتها في خانة مختلفة عن الخانة التي آوت المثقفين الحقيقيين وفق التعريف الذي اقدمه هنا. صاحب العلم والمعرفة الذي لا يوظف علمه ومعارفه لخدمة الناس ليس مثقفا، إنما هو مثوقف يستعمل ما يحمل من علم ومعرفة من أجل الحصول على مكاسب آنية وشخصية ويكاد لا يلتفت بتاتا إلى مصالح الناس وهمومهم والمظالم التي تقع على رؤوسهم. هو يبحث عن منصب أو مال أو جاه، ولديه الاستعداد لأن ينافق ويكذب ويدجل من أجل مصالحه وفوائده المادية سواء كانت له مباشرة أو لأبنائه وزوجه وبناته. أغلب المثوقفين العرب ينتمون إلى خانة إرضاء المسؤول عساه يعطف عليه بمنصب أو جاه أو مال، أو تجنب العقاب الذي يمكن أن يمارسه المسؤول ضده. المثوقفون يخشون على الوظيفة، ويخشون الاعتقال وعقوبات أجهزة المخابرات والأجهزة الأمنية الأخرى. وهؤلاء يرون دائما أن الرزق والحياة بيد المسؤول وليس بيد الله سبحانه وتعالى، ولا يؤمنون بفكرة الاعتماد على الذات وتدبير الأمور ذاتيا إذا اصابه وأصاب عائلته سوء أو مكروه. وسائل الإعلام في أغلبها تتحدث الآن عن دور المثقفين العرب في مواجهة التطبيع. أكيد هناك مثقفون يقفون مع الحق الفلسطيني ومع كل القضايا العربية، لكن المثوقفين يعدون أعدادا مضاعفة. أنظروا إلى دول الخليج والتي تحول العديد من رجال الدين فيها عن دينهم وأنكروا الخليفة عمر بن الخطاب ونقضوا عهده وأنكروا قول الله سبحانه بحق القدس والمسجد الأقصى وفرطوا بالديار المقدسة. لقد ثبت أنهم كانوا يعبدون الله لمصلحة، وبدلوا عندما أمرهم الحاكم الظالم الشهواني بذلك . وأسوق مثلا بعض المثوقفين المصريين الذين يجب أن يكونوا الشعلة في الدفاع عن تاريخ مصر وقضايا الأمة العربية، هم يمتدحون اللحاق بالكيان الصهيوني الآن. وحتى لا يدير مثوقف عربي ظهره أقول إننا في الساحة الفلسطينية خبرنا مواقف المثوقفين الفلسطينيين الذين صفقوا للاعتراف بالكيان الصهيوني والتنسيق الأمني معه وتوقيع اتفاق أوسلو المشؤوم، وارتضوا لأنفسهم أن يكونوا أدوات لتطبيق الاتفاق وإرضاء الكيان الصهيوني والأمريكيين. لي زملاء كثر في مختلف الجامعات الفلسطينية قبلوا على أنفسهم القبول بمناصب تخدم سلطة أوسلو، وتخدم الاحتلال في النهاية. لا تغضبوا أيها العرب فإن مثوقفينا لا يختلفون عن مثوقفيكم. كلانا في الشؤم واحد. لكن أيضا كل مثقفينا الكبار العظام على امتداد الوطن العربي الذين يضحون بمصالحهم يقفون شامخين يدا واحدة في مواجهة الانهيار العربي والفجر آت إن شاء الله.

‘Turning Point for the Nation’: Pro-Life Leaders Urge Trump to ‘Move Quickly’ to Fill Supreme Court Vacancy

Both pro-life leaders and abortion rights advocates are keenly aware the vacancy on the Supreme Court following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg could mark a crucial moment in the history of the nation and how America views the right to life .
While some pro-life leaders are acknowledging Ginsburg ’ s role in advancing the position of women in the legal profession , they are eager to have another Supreme Court justice who is a Constitutionalist , and one who views the right to life , including for unborn children , as the most fundamental right protected by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president of Americans United for Life , is urging President Donald Trump to “ move quickly to nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett , ” who currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit , to fill the High Court ’ s vacancy .
Foster said : She added Barrett “ values upholding the original understanding and blessings of liberty inherent in our cherished Constitution , ” and observed it is likely the Court “ will be asked to rule on questions fundamental to the functioning of our Republic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our time : the human right to life.
” “ We are confident that if appointed to the Supreme Court , Judge Barrett would prove herself a trusted caretaker of the Constitutional protections extended to every human person in America , including human lives in the womb , ” Foster said .
The abortion industry , however , does not support the right to life of unborn children .
The rights of women to control their bodies and end pregnancies when they choose are paramount to this lobby , which profits from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Life , no other rights matter , ” said Troy Newman , president of abortion industry watchdog group Operation Rescue : Newman explained how crucial this moment in time is to Americans dedicated to the right to life .
He said : “ It is likely the most important decision he will make as president , ” Newman suggested .
National Institute of Family and Life Advocates President Thomas Glessner said the High Court ’ s vacancy “ transforms the upcoming election into a referendum on the Supreme Court.
” “ President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may mean the end of Roe v. Wade , ” he added .

Both pro-life leaders and abortion rights advocates are keenly aware the vacancy on the Supreme Court following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg could mark a crucial moment in the history of the nation and how America views the right to life.
While some pro-life leaders are acknowledging Ginsburg’s role in advancing the position of women in the legal profession, they are eager to have another Supreme Court justice who is a Constitutionalist, and one who views the right to life, including for unborn children, as the most fundamental right protected by the Constitution.
Catherine Glenn Foster, president of Americans United for Life, is urging President Donald Trump to “move quickly to nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett,” who currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, to fill the High Court’s vacancy. Foster said:
At this crucial time in the history of our great nation, it is imperative that a respected nominee is selected who will understand that the role of the High Court is to fairly interpret America’s Constitution and laws according to the meaning and intention of Congress and the Framers, and not seek to write their own value judgments into law.
She added Barrett “values upholding the original understanding and blessings of liberty inherent in our cherished Constitution,” and observed it is likely the Court “will be asked to rule on questions fundamental to the functioning of our Republic, including the most important human rights question of our time: the human right to life.”
“We are confident that if appointed to the Supreme Court, Judge Barrett would prove herself a trusted caretaker of the Constitutional protections extended to every human person in America, including human lives in the womb,” Foster said.
The abortion industry, however, does not support the right to life of unborn children. The rights of women to control their bodies and end pregnancies when they choose are paramount to this lobby, which profits from abortion.
Thank you, Justice Ginsburg, for always being a fierce defender of our right to control our bodies, our lives, and our destinies. We will continue to fight in your honor. Rest in peace. https://t.co/8ZRghRZhnb — Planned Parenthood Action – Text WeDecide to 22422 (@PPact) September 19, 2020

“Without the right to Life, no other rights matter,” said Troy Newman, president of abortion industry watchdog group Operation Rescue:
The right to be born and live life in freedom is the most precious and foundational of all rights … The death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has given President Donald J. Trump the unique opportunity to shape the direction of the U.S. Supreme Court with a nominee that will respect the Constitution and the founding tenets in the Declaration of Independence.
Newman explained how crucial this moment in time is to Americans dedicated to the right to life. He said:
This is a moment we have been waiting for since the first state decriminalized abortion in 1968. This is the moment that President Trump’s decision can shift the Court away from its current pro-abortion bent. With this nominee, he can literally save millions of innocent lives throughout future generations and restore a respect for human life that has been deteriorating in our culture.
“It is likely the most important decision he will make as president,” Newman suggested.
National Institute of Family and Life Advocates President Thomas Glessner said the High Court’s vacancy “transforms the upcoming election into a referendum on the Supreme Court.”
“President Trump’s appointment to fill this vacancy may mean the end of Roe v. Wade,” he added. “Clearly, the future direction of our nation will be determined by this presidential election. For such a time as this, pro-life believers must unite and lead our nation down a path which confirms the value of all human life.”
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, called the Supreme Court vacancy “a turning point for the nation in the fight to protect its most vulnerable, the unborn.”
“The pro-life grassroots have full confidence that President Trump, Leader McConnell, Chairman Graham, and every pro-life senator will move swiftly to fill this vacancy,” she added.
Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, is also asking Trump to move quickly with a nominee to fill the vacancy.
“[T]he vacancy shows the importance of this pivotal election,” she said.
“The pro-life movement has been waiting since 1973 to reverse the callous and intellectually bankrupt decisions found in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton,” Hawkins added. “Those two infamous cases have made the deaths of more than 60 million baby boys and baby girls possible and allowed a predatory abortion industry to end life through all nine months of pregnancy.”

Beyond the Gratuitous Normalization: An Escalating War on Palestine ما بعد التطبيع المجّاني: نحو تسعير الحرب على فلسطين

With the opening of a new era in the region , titled “ The Declared Arab Alliances with the ‘ Israeli ’ Enemy ” , the war on Palestine is moving towards more extensive levels , in order to escalate pressure on the Palestinians and force them to accept the fait accompli .
The statements –published yesterday- of the American ambassador to “ Israel ” , David Friedman , in which he claimed that the Arabic- ‘ Israeli ’ conflict has reached “ the beginning of the end ” , are perhaps a clear proof of that .
In parallel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intention of other states to join normalization , in the light of exposing further information about the trajectory that led to this result , and which was commanded by the Mossad over the past years After the Emirati and Bahraini regimes have accomplished their task , which is enhancing political , security and economic supplies to the enemy entity , in the context of the war that it is waging against Palestinians and the region , eyes are now focused on the Saudi regime , which is awaiting its next task to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at which it will take the lead of the Gulf States .
These states are working on distorting the direction of the conflict to make it fit the “ Israeli ” priorities and interests .
In this context , Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen repeated , in an interview with the entity ’ s “ Channel 12 ” , that the deal with Saudi Arabia was “ within reach ” , expressing his conviction that the deal might be sealed “ during the current year ” .
He reiterated that many states , whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the normalization deals .
“ Israeli ” reports mentioned that Oman was the next state to normalize , as it dispatched its ambassador in Washington to the signing ceremony for the ‘ Israel ’ -Bahrain-UAE “ Peace Deal ” at the White House .

” He added that “ We all seek , in the end , official relations with Arab States ” .
Building on this , Cohen considered the two “ Israeli ” deals with the UAE and Bahrain to be “ the culmination of years of efforts and communications that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way.
” These efforts are being made by the Mossad which comes under the direct authority of the Prime Minister , so the political level brings their rewards .

With the opening of a new era in the region, titled “The Declared Arab Alliances with the ‘Israeli’ Enemy”, the war on Palestine is moving towards more extensive levels, in order to escalate pressure on the Palestinians and force them to accept the fait accompli. The statements –published yesterday- of the American ambassador to “Israel”, David Friedman, in which he claimed that the Arabic-‘Israeli’ conflict has reached “the beginning of the end”, are perhaps a clear proof of that. In parallel, there are continued talks about the intention of other states to join normalization, in the light of exposing further information about the trajectory that led to this result, and which was commanded by the Mossad over the past years
After the Emirati and Bahraini regimes have accomplished their task, which is enhancing political, security and economic supplies to the enemy entity, in the context of the war that it is waging against Palestinians and the region, eyes are now focused on the Saudi regime, which is awaiting its next task to be outlined and waiting for setting the time at which it will take the lead of the Gulf States. These states are working on distorting the direction of the conflict to make it fit the “Israeli” priorities and interests. In this context, Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen repeated, in an interview with the entity’s “Channel 12”, that the deal with Saudi Arabia was “within reach”, expressing his conviction that the deal might be sealed “during the current year”. He reiterated that many states, whether Gulf States or others, will join the normalization deals. “Israeli” reports mentioned that Oman was the next state to normalize, as it dispatched its ambassador in Washington to the signing ceremony for the ‘Israel’-Bahrain-UAE “Peace Deal” at the White House.
This ceremony, with all the following seasons of the same series, are just a result of a secret or declared trajectory that has been ongoing for years. This trajectory was supervised by the Mossad, who has to manage relations with non-normalizing states, as one of its official missions. This is what Cohen himself has confirmed, when he said that “The body was always working on creating relationships at various levels. These relations could be, at the beginning, economic, commercial or reciprocal concerning understanding regional and international security relations.” He added that “We all seek, in the end, official relations with Arab States”. Building on this, Cohen considered the two “Israeli” deals with the UAE and Bahrain to be “the culmination of years of efforts and communications that have been managed in a pretty accurate way.” These efforts are being made by the Mossad which comes under the direct authority of the Prime Minister, so the political level brings their rewards. Besides, the Mossad has many plans that target –as declared in the “Israeli” political and media discourse- the Palestinian cause firstly, then Iran secondly since it is considered to be the strategic depth of the axis of Resistance. Concerning this, Cohen said that the signed agreements with the UAE and Bahrain are a great message which is more important than the idea of supporting “Israel”. He added that the agreements were a strategic change in the war against Iran.
Although the attempts to give the ‘Israeli’-UAE and ‘Israeli’-Bahraini deals a strategic nature seem to be exaggerated given the two States’ size and regional role, the situation will be different when Saudi Arabia joins them. It would be possible then to talk about a new regional map that has a strategic nature. However, the engagement of all these regimes in the normalization has less consequences than Egypt’s exit from the confrontation with “Israel”, through the “Camp David Accords” in 1979, which created a radical transformation in the balance of power to the benefit of the “Israeli” enemy. This transformation needed another one on the opposite side, in the magnitude of the Iranian Revolution, to contain its consequences, and realign the movement of the regional reality in directions that are different from the ones for which the enemy was planning four decades ago.
Concerning the direct consequences of the two agreements, it is highly unlikely that the Zionist entity will play a direct role in protecting the regimes that are newly normalizing with “Israel”, or that it will engage in a military intervention for their sake. Also, it is unlikely that “Israel” will take the initiative, in the foreseeable future, to set up military bases in the Gulf as some are saying, simply because the entity doesn’t want to put direct military targets in front of its enemies, since they could restrict its ability to make aggressive operational choices in the region, especially against Iran. On the other hand, the normalizing regimes will continue playing a military role to the benefit of Tel Aviv, but this time, with a fake political legitimacy.
Regarding the Palestinian cause, it is obvious that the establishment of a new era, titled “The Declared Arab Alliances with the ‘Israeli’ Enemy”, absolutely means the amplification of the attempts to end the Palestinian cause. Accordingly, it seems that the next stage will see an escalating aggression against Palestinians, with the participation of the normalizing regimes that think that the insistence of Palestinians on keeping their cause alive will undermine their efforts and plans, and constitute a durable conviction of them. Hence, they will treat every Palestinian stance that claims one of the Palestinians’ minimum rights as a missile that targets their thrones.
The American ambassador to “Israel”, David Friedman, is the one who opened the direct war against Palestine and its people, by attacking Palestinians again, and considering the Arab-‘Israeli’ conflict to have reached the “beginning of the end” in the light of the normalization agreements. In a clear message to Ramallah, Friedman revealed, in a conversation with the “Israeli” newspaper “Israel Hayom”, that the United States was thinking of replacing the former leader of Fatah movement, Mohammed Dahlan, by the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas; but “they didn’t want to reorganize the Palestinian leadership.” It seems that Friedman wanted to suggest that Ramallah’s insistence on rejecting normalization, and refusing the Palestinian legalization of it, will make Washington more willing to topple the current leadership. Friedman sees that “this leadership didn’t stop upholding the same old complaints, which had nothing to do with this issue.”
In parallel, Washington and Tel Aviv are still refusing to provide the UAE and Bahrain with an umbrella, even a fake one, for their normalization choices. Friedman has stressed that the postponement of the annexation plan was just a “temporary suspension”, pointing out that the current US administration was the first one to recognize the legitimacy of settlement, and to share a “Peace plan” that excludes the evacuation of settlers from their homes across the West Bank. Friedman had previously indicated that the West Bank was a part of “Israel”.
ما بعد التطبيع المجّاني: نحو تسعير الحرب على فلسطين
سيختلف الأمر لدى انضمام النظام السعودي، إذ يمكن عندها الحديث عن خارطة إقليمية جديدة تتّسم بطابع استراتيجي (أ ف ب )
مع افتتاح حقبة جديدة في المنطقة عنوانها التحالفات العربية المعلَنة مع العدو الإسرائيلي، تتّجه الحرب على فلسطين وداعميها نحو فصول أكثر شراسة، بهدف تصعيد الضغوط على الفلسطينيين وإجبارهم على قبول الأمر الواقع. ولعلّ التصريحات التي نُشرت أمس للسفير الأميركي في إسرائيل، ديفيد فريدمان، والتي ادّعى فيها أن الصراع العربي – الإسرائيلي وصل إلى «بداية النهاية»، تُعدّ دليلاً واضحاً على ذلك. على خطّ موازٍ، يتواصل الحديث عن اعتزام دول إضافية الانضمام إلى ركب التطبيع، في ظلّ انكشاف المزيد من المعطيات حول المسار الذي قاد إلى هذه النتيجة، والذي تزعّمه «الموساد» على مرّ السنوات الماضية.
بعدما أكمل النظامان الإماراتي والبحريني مهمّتهما التي أُوكلت إليهما في تعزيز الإمداد السياسي والأمني والاقتصادي لكيان العدو في سياق الحرب التي يشنّها على شعوب فلسطين والمنطقة، تَتوجّه الأنظار نحو النظام السعودي الذي ينتظر اكتمال رسم معالم الخطوة المطلوبة منه، وتحديد توقيت تصدّره القافلة الخليجية التي تعمل على حرف وجهة الصراع نحو أولويات تتماهى مع المصالح والأولويات الإسرائيلية. وفي هذا الإطار، أعاد رئيس «الموساد»، يوسي كوهين، في مقابلة مع «القناة 12» في التلفزيون الإسرائيلي، الحديث عن أن الاتفاق مع السعودية «في متناول اليد»، معبّراً عن اقتناعه بإمكانية تحقق ذلك «خلال هذا العام»، مجدّداً القول إن العديد من الدول، الخليجية وغير الخليجية، سينضمّ أيضاً إلى ركب التطبيع، فيما تحدّثت تقارير إسرائيلية عن أن «الدولة التالية ستكون سلطنة عُمان»، التي أوفدت سفيرها في واشنطن إلى مراسم توقيع اتفاقيتَي «السلام» مع الإمارات والبحرين في البيت الأبيض.
مراسمُ ليست، وما سيعقبها من حلقات إضافية في المسلسل نفسه، إلا نتيجة لمسار سرّي وعلني امتدّ على مدار السنوات السابقة، وأشرف عليه جهاز «الموساد»، الذي من مهمّاته الرسمية إدارة العلاقات مع الدول غير المُطبّعة. هذا ما أكّده كوهين بنفسه، بحديث عن أن جهازه «يعمل دائماً للوصول إلى وضع نقيم فيه علاقات على مستويات مختلفة. ويمكن أن تكون في البداية علاقات اقتصادية، وعلاقات تجارية، وعلاقات تبادلية في فهم الأحداث الأمنية – الإقليمية والدولية. في النهاية، أعتقد أن هدفنا جميعاً هو الوصول إلى علاقات رسمية مع الدول العربية». وانطلاقاً من ذلك، اعتبر كوهين الاتفاقيتين الإسرائيليتين مع الإمارات والبحرين «تتويجاً لسنوات من الجهود والاتصالات التي تدار بطريقة دقيقة للغاية». هذه الجهود التي يبذلها «الموساد»، التابع مباشرة لرئيس الوزراء، يقطف ثمارها المستوى السياسي، ويؤسّس عليها مخططات تستهدف مباشرة، كما هو معلن في الخطاب السياسي والإعلامي الإسرائيلي، قضية فلسطين أولاً، وإيران تالياً باعتبارها العمق الاستراتيجي لمحور المقاومة. عن هذا، قال كوهين إن «الاتفاقيات الموقّعة مع البحرين والإمارات تعتبر رسالة كبيرة جدّاً تتجاوز فكرة دعم إسرائيل. الاتفاقيات هي تغيير استراتيجي في الحرب ضدّ إيران».
من المستبعد جدّاً أن يلعب الكيان العبري دوراً مباشراً في حماية الأنظمة المُطبّعة
وعلى رغم أن محاولات إضفاء الطابع الاستراتيجي على الاتفاقيتين الإسرائيليتين مع النظامَين البحريني والإماراتي تبدو مبالغاً فيها، بلحاظ حجم الدولتين ودورهما الإقليمي، إلا أن الأمر سيختلف لدى انضمام النظام السعودي إليهما، إذ يمكن عندها الحديث عن خارطة إقليمية جديدة تتّسم بطابع استراتيجي. على أن إقدام كلّ تلك الأنظمة على التطبيع لا يوازي في تداعياته خروج مصر من المواجهة مع اسرائيل، عبر «اتفاقية كامب ديفيد» عام 1979، والتي أحدثت تحوّلاً جذرياً في موازين القوى لمصلحة العدو. وهو تحوّلٌ كان يحتاج إلى آخر مقابل بحجم ثورة إيران لاحتواء تداعياته، وإعادة تصويب حركة الواقع الإقليمي في اتجاهات مغايرة لِما كان يُخطَّط له قبل أربعة عقود.
في التداعيات المباشرة للاتفاقيتين الأخيرتين، من المستبعد جدّاً أن يلعب الكيان العبري دوراً مباشراً في حماية الأنظمة المُطبّعة معه حديثاً، أو أن يذهب إلى حدود التدخل العسكري لمواجهة أيّ تهديد تتعرّض له. كذلك، يستبعد أن تبادر إسرائيل، في المدى المنظور، إلى نصب قواعد عسكرية لها في الخليج وفق ما يجري تداوله أحياناً، والسبب – ببساطة – أنها لا تريد وضع أهداف عسكرية مباشرة أمام العدو، يمكن أن تُقيّد قدرتها على اتخاذ خيارات عملانية عدوانية في المنطقة، خصوصاً تجاه إيران. في المقابل، ستواصل الأنظمة المُطبّعة لعب دور أمني لمصلحة تل أبيب، لكن هذه المرّة مع شرعية سياسية مصطنعة.
في ما يتعلّق بقضية فلسطين، من الواضح أن التأسيس لحقبة جديدة عنوانها التحالفات العربية المعلنة مع كيان العدو، يعني بالضرورة تزخيم محاولات تصفية القضية الفلسطينية. ومن هنا، يبدو أن المرحلة المقبلة ستشهد تصاعداً في العدوان على الشعب الفلسطيني، بمشاركة من أنظمة التطبيع التي تعتقد أن إصرار الفلسطينيين على إبقاء قضيّتهم حية سيُقوِّض الكثير من جهودها ومخطّطاتها، وسيشكّل إدانة مستمرّة لها. ولذا، فهي ستتعامل مع كلّ موقف فلسطيني يطالب بالحدّ الأدنى من الحقوق على أنه بمثابة صاروخ مُوجّه إلى عروشها.
تسعير الحرب المباشرة على فلسطين وشعبها افتتحه السفير الأميركي في إسرائيل، ديفيد فريدمان، بمهاجمة الفلسطينيين من جديد، واعتباره أن الصراع العربي – الإسرائيلي وصل إلى «بداية النهاية» في ظلّ اتفاقيات التطبيع. وفي رسالة واضحة الدلالة إلى رام الله، كشف فريدمان، في حديث إلى صحيفة «إسرائيل اليوم»، أن الولايات المتحدة الأميركية تدرس استبدال القيادي السابق في حركة «فتح» محمد دحلان، برئيس السلطة محمود عباس، مستدركاً بأنه «ليست لدينا رغبة في هندسة القيادة الفلسطينية». والظاهر أن فريدمان أراد الإيحاء بأن إصرار رام الله على رفض سياسة التطبيع، وممانعتها إضفاء الشرعية الفلسطينية عليها، سيدفعان واشنطن إلى إطاحة القيادة الحالية التي يرى أنها لا تزال «تتمسّك بنفس الشكاوى القديمة، التي لا أعتقد أنها ذات صلة».
على خطّ مواز، لا تزال واشنطن، ومعها تل أبيب، ترفض توفير مظلّة، ولو شكلية، للإمارات والبحرين، في خياراتهما التطبيعية؛ إذ شدّد فريدمان على أن تأجيل تنفيذ مخطّط الضم ما هو إلا «تعليق مؤقت»، لافتاً إلى أن الإدارة الأميركية الحالية أول إدارة تعترف بشرعية الاستيطان، وتنشر «خطّة سلام» تستبعد إخلاء المستوطنين من منازلهم في جميع أنحاء الضفة، التي سبق أن أشار في الماضي إلى أنها «جزء من إسرائيل».
