It would be much better for Israel if Trump were still in office. However, he lost in 2020 - or did he?

It is constantly stated that there is no proof that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent. That is completely false. There are many proofs and simple facts. Here is some information from David Horowitz' profound and excellent book FINAL BATTLE; THE NEXT ELECTIONS COULD BE THE LAST (pp.5-9).

"Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the US Constitution clearly stipulates that the rules governing elections are the jurisdictions of the legislatures of the states . . . Disregarding this clear constitutional order, the Democrat legal squads by-passed the Pennsylvania legislature, which was controlled by Republicans, and appealed directly to the state Supreme Court on which the Democrats had a 5-2 majority.

"The Democratic-dominated State Supreme Court responded [months before the election] by illegally authorizing a series of new election rules dramatically favoring the Democrats . . . that court rewrote the state election laws to eliminate signature requirements or signature matching, eliminate postal markings that were intended to ensure that votes were timely and extend the counting of mail-in ballots to Friday at 5:00 p.m. Previous state law had set a hard date and time of 8:00 p.m. on election day. In other words, the Democrats had fundamentally altered Pennsylvania's election laws and nullified the federal constitutional role of the Republican legislature.

"The loosening of the rules, and the obstruction of Republican poll-watchers [!!] made "ballot dumps" easier and led to dramatic spikes in the results. A Pennsylvania Senate hearing three weeks after the election, was presented with sworn testimony that in one such dump, Biden received roughly 570,000 votes - or 99.4 percent of those cast, while Trump received only 3,200 or 0.6 percent of ballots submitted. Biden's margin in winning Pennsylvania was about 81,000 votes."

Horowitz goes on in this context to relate that dozens of lawsuits were rejected by the courts on procedural grounds - they did not want to hear them, either out of partisan bias against Trump or because of the damage that would be done to the courts themselves if it turned out they had fraudulently interfered with the election. "Also dismissed by these same courts were thousands of affidavits and declarations . . . and video as well as photographic evidence of possible corruption in the ballot counting process." So to say the results were heavily litigated is false, as much of the attempted litigation was cut short by courts and not allowed to take its due course.

Also, again from Horowitz' book, largely because of Bush's hotly contested election of 2000, a prestigious Commission on Federal Election Reform led by Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker, issued in 2005 "a series of recommendations designed to strengthen the integrity of the election process and reunify the nation." Their conclusions included: increase voter ID requirements . . . minimize the use of mail-in ballots as "the largest source of potential voter fraud" . . . ban ballot harvesting by third parties . . . purge voter rolls of all ineligible or fraudulent names . . .and allow election observers to monitor the ballot counting without restraint or obstruction.

These are common sense proposals designed to ensure the fairest possible result - but, in Horowitz' words, in 2019, "Democrats launched a massive campaign to change the election laws." Their goal was to "reverse every one of the Carter-Baker recommendations, and make election fraud easier . . . To implement their changes the Democrats filed nearly 300 lawsuits, many focused on the battleground states . . . Democrats followed these initial attacks on election integrity by dispatching 600 lawyers and 10,000 volunteers to as many states as possible, three months before the 2020 presidential election."

One specific detail from the Pennsylvania election of 2020 confirming the pitiful state to which the American democratic experiment has sunk:

"Pennsylvania’s appellate court this morning issued an order allowing Republican election observers to watch the vote-counting process from up to six feet away.

Prior to this order, campaign officials said that observers had been forced to watch ballots being counted from as far away as 100 feet.

Two hours later, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the court order was not being enforced. She said while the barricades were moved up six feet, the ballot machines had been pushed to the back of the room.

Why on earth would election officials not want Republican election officials to be able to see what they were doing? I just don't understand. Not to worry though - the Pennsylvania Supreme Court leapt into action and resolved this problem:

"Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned an order requiring that election observers be allowed within six feet of ballot-counting operations.

In its decision, the court said state law only requires that observers be allowed “in the room” where ballots are counted and does not mandate a minimum distance, NBC News said.

Yeah Ira, do you think that Biden-Blinken’s sanctions of those settlers could serve as the casus belli to start sanctioning Israel and wind down the war in Gaza by sheer force of economic coercion?

Of course. They are already threatening to sanction IDF soldiers who serve on the West Bank. Sanction allies and appease enemies is the Blinken way.
